Chapter 223: Killing Monsters and Leveling Up

In the mountains.

A bolt of lightning and a green data stream were speeding along the ground. Those who had managed to escape were running at the fastest speed in history.

They didn't dare to stop and fled all the way until the evening.

As the sun sets, the sunset glows like blood. On the distant horizon, a huge and majestic city appears faintly, stretching across the front, majestic and imposing, like an endless ancient mountain range.

finally reached!

The two of them were excited and quickened their pace.

As long as I can get there...

You will be saved!

The city in front of them was called Feiyan City. A high-ranking Extraordinary from the Evil Alliance was hidden in the city. Although they did not know the other party's exact location, as long as they entered the city, they could use secret methods to contact each other.

Doing so would definitely expose the high-level extraordinary being, but at this point they simply couldn't care less, saving their lives was the most important thing!
Suddenly, both of them felt a sharp pain in their chests at the same time, and they instantly turned back into human form and fell down. Under the impact of inertia, they rolled hundreds of meters from the ground before stopping, stirring up two long and narrow earth dragons and filling the sky with dust.

"Ah!" The two men covered their hearts, their faces wrinkled in severe pain.

On their faces and necks, the dark blue blood vessels wriggled like earthworms under the skin, presenting an extremely hideous and terrifying sight.

The hedgehog-haired man's face turned pale and his lips couldn't help but tremble. This kind of pain was a thousand times more intense than any pain they had ever experienced. It went straight to the depths of their hearts, as if it was going to cut their souls into pieces.

He roared, and used up the last of his strength to transform his element into a body of pure thunder.

However, the blue-black substance in the blood vessels did not disappear. Instead, it took root deeply in the heart like the roots of a plant, and its veins were spread throughout the entire body of Thunder!

"This is a curse!" another management member from the Deadly Trojan shouted hoarsely.

They didn't know when the curse was planted!
pat, pat.

Several pieces of flesh fell off his face, and the skin all over his body began to crack like old tree bark. Large pieces of flesh fell off, revealing the internal organs and white bones underneath.

"Do not……"

With a desperate roar, his skeleton collapsed and his entire body broke into a pile of rotten flesh and bones emitting black smoke. Under the erosion of the vicious curse, it gradually melted into a pool of blood.

The hedgehog-headed man was so frightened when he saw this, but he was already at the end of his strength and had no power to resist.

Gradually, his body of thunder melted like ice cream under the sun, turning into a pool of lightning lava flashing with tiny arcs of electricity!
In a teahouse in Feiyan City, a figure snorted coldly.

You really don't know how to live or die. You knew that you were deliberately released and used as bait to catch big fish, but you still ran here. Do you really think I would risk being exposed to save you?
But I can’t stay in Feiyan City any longer. The Control Bureau must have noticed this place...

A light breeze blew by, and the figure in the seat disappeared out of thin air.

·
"died?"

In the forest, Zhou Yuan frowned slightly as he received the latest feedback through the implanted dark matter. The two people who served as bait in front of him suddenly died suddenly and died on the spot.

"The city ahead is Feiyan. Since they are running here, it means there is someone in the city who can shelter them...but now it seems that person doesn't want to save them." A middle-aged investigator with a square face said in a deep voice.

He was one of the three high-ranking extraordinary people who had previously killed Zhao Hai.

"There is a curse ahead." The old wizard in a white robe spoke up. He was also a high-level extraordinary person who was good at magic.

This time, Zhou Yuan directly asked for two high-ranking officials, intending to follow the clues and wipe out the other side's lair. However, he did not expect that the man in Feiyan City was so cautious, ruthless and taciturn, and he directly killed people to silence them!
Not long after, the three found the bodies of the two baits. To be precise, they could no longer be considered bodies, but just two pools of liquid that exuded a cursed aura.

"What a pity." Zhou Yuan felt very regretful.

"He cannot be deader. Even his storage ring has been melted. This curse is obviously the work of the 'Death Curse Master'. Has he also entered this paradise?" The square-faced uncle frowned solemnly.

The Death Curse Master is a sinister, cunning and extremely cautious guy who is good at hiding behind the scenes to create chaos and escaping at the slightest sign of trouble. Therefore, the Control Bureau has not been able to find out his true identity until now, and does not even know whether he is a man or a woman. They only know that there is such a 7th-level extraordinary person who is good at cursing in the Land of Truth.

The square-faced uncle looked towards Feiyan City in the distance: "The Death Curse Master is notoriously cautious. He must have moved away from Feiyan City. Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

This action can only go so far.

However, being able to confirm that the Death Curse Master is in the paradise is already a very important piece of information.

·
Return to Yong'an City.

In the temporary control bureau base, Zhou Yuan received the bonus for this incident: a bucket of fairy pool spiritual water.

It is still packed in barrels of drinking purified water.

"Why does this thing look so fake?" Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"It can't be fake. If you don't believe me, try it. We use this bucket because it's the only one that's suitable." said the operator.

With the ability to identify, Zhou Yuan was not afraid that it was a fake: "The boss is so generous, did he find the fairy pond?"

"Of course, didn't you read the news? The immortal caves in Zhongzhou have been emptied, and a lot of immortal treasures have been dug out. Any leaked out can benefit people. I don't know how many extraordinary people will take this opportunity to advance... Oh, I would have gone there earlier if I had known."

Ye Wushuang, who was standing next to him, was about to speak when she heard this. That was the Immortal Cave, her home! It had been demolished? ? ?

Zhou Yuan glanced at her, and suddenly thought of something. He leaned over and asked cautiously, "Isn't this fairy pond spiritual water your old bath water?"

The fishing rod that Chen Guangxi picked up before was her old fishing rod, so Zhou Yuan thought this was not impossible.

Ye Wushuang: "..."

She said expressionlessly: "The Immortal Pond is a place that seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth. My father specially opened up this blessed place and founded a religion here because of it.

The water of the Immortal Pond is the best source of water for refining medicine, refining qi, and cultivating divine plants. In the past, countless major sects and holy places would come here specifically to ask for water. Drinking the water of the Immortal Pond for a long time can prolong the lifespan of both mortals and monks, improve their physical fitness, and become flawless in at most half a year.

If it drips onto an ordinary object, it can give it intelligence over time. Once upon a time, a piece of jade became a spirit because of this, and embarked on the path of cultivation, and was one step away from becoming an immortal. "

"So powerful?" Zhou Yuan's mind flashed, maybe he could use some of it to cultivate the dark tribe in the plane.

……

The spatial disorder in Yong'an City has ended.

Zhou Yuan and Ye Wushuang immediately took the teleportation array to Chenzhou City.

As the largest city in the Eastern Region, Chenzhou City is extremely prosperous, with a constant stream of people coming and going. Coupled with the news that the secret realm will be opened soon, countless cultivators have come here upon hearing the news, from all walks of life.

Zhou Yuan and Ye Wushuang found an inn to stay temporarily.

"So many tasks..."

Zhou Yuan looked at the taskbar of the game system and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

As soon as I arrived in Chenzhou City, the number of tasks to be accepted skyrocketed. It seemed that the more people there were, the more likely abnormal events would occur...

“With so many tasks, if I complete them all, I should be able to reach level 50…” Zhou Yuan made a rough calculation and became increasingly excited.

Why did he enter the paradise? Wasn't it just to level up and become stronger?

Now I have learned the Taichu Yin-Yang Body, I have Guixu, and the dark plane has been opened up. All I have to do is raise the level.

These numerous tasks are all worth the experience points! "Time waits for no one, set off now!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly stood up from his chair.

Ye Wushuang, who was reading a document, raised his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Huh? You've even learned this. It looks like you've read the Modern Arc and should be almost finished."

Zhou Yuan paused, "I'm going out to kill some monsters to level up, do you want to come with me?"

"Of course, I am just an ordinary person who is powerless now."

"Then let's walk."

·
On the street, the sounds of juggling, medicine vendors, and the hawking of various snacks are intertwined, one after another, and it is very lively. Amid the hustle and bustle, the breath of the worldly world blows in the face.

Zhou Yuan was interested in everything and looked around.

soon.

Zhou Yuan stopped in front of a building.

Ye Wushuang looked up, his eyes twitching slightly, and saw three big words "Baihua Tower" hanging on the building.

This is a brothel.

This guy won’t take me into a brothel... Ye Wushuang had just finished thinking when he saw Zhou Yuan raising his foot and walking forward. Suddenly, the corners of his eyes twitched even more violently.

A gorgeously dressed beauty came up to him and said in a sweet voice, "Sir..."

"Get out of the way." Zhou Yuan's voice was cold. The other party trembled all over and froze in place, not daring to move forward another step.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang sighed and could only follow.

After entering the brothel, Zhou Yuan looked around and found his target.

[The unlucky guy in this room is experiencing the most terrifying thing in his life. If he could still speak, he would definitely say: Help, help, help, help - help! ]

·
In the room, there was a screen blocking the bed.

The candle burned, and a graceful shadow was reflected in the light, cast on the screen.

The shadow slowly opened its mouth, and its chin opened wider and wider until it stretched to an exaggerated size that was definitely not that of an ordinary person. Then, a long and thin tongue stretched out of its mouth, and two rows of sharp teeth slowly grew out...

At this moment, the figure projected on the screen was no longer a beautiful figure, but a strange and terrifying figure of a man-eating monster!

The man lying limp on the bed had a look of fear and despair on his face. He couldn't muster any strength in his body, not even the strength to shout.

The burning incense was a kind of strange drug that could make ordinary people quickly lose their strength and collapse on the bed, but it could also keep people absolutely sober!
It was obvious that the monster did this on purpose. It liked to see the despair, helplessness, and fear of the living before they died. These negative emotions could make the meat more delicious...

The banshee grinned, her eyes full of mockery. Just as she was about to take action, a sudden roar came from behind her.

"Catch! Monster, eat my stick!"

boom!
The screen shattered instantly and turned into flying butterflies all over the sky. The dazzling golden stick came down immediately. With a loud bang, the banshee with her bloody mouth opened was directly blown into a ball of blood mist!
It splashed all over the room!
[Mission "Brothel Demon" completed]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*800]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*2000]

[Experience value: 1550/2250]

Get it done.

"Just call me Taoist Zhou Yuan, you're welcome."

Zhou Yuan put away the Zhendong stick and left without looking back.

On the bed, the man covered in blood looked confused. What happened?

A moment later, the person outside heard the noise and rushed into the room, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.

on the street.

Ignoring the hustle and bustle of the brothel behind him, Ye Wushuang wondered, "How do you know there are monsters harming people here?"

The banshee's aura was hidden very well, and in a brothel like place with many people and chaotic aura, even a professional demon hunter would have difficulty detecting it.

"I have amazing tools."

"What is that?" Ye Wushuang didn't quite understand and asked straightforwardly.

"It's an ability that allows me to see special prompts."

"Pupil-type magical power?"

"more or less."

·
The next day.

Early in the morning, the Li family's wedding procession marched towards the bride's home with the sound of gongs and drums.

The wedding reception process went smoothly. However, when the team was heading to Li's house, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the street. Then the sound of gongs and drums was heard from the opposite side. A wedding procession also emerged from the thick fog, and it was very lively.

The two wedding processions collided head-on in the middle of the road.

A strange thing happened at this moment. The people in Li family's wedding procession were horrified to find that the people in the opposite party's wedding procession looked exactly like themselves!
What's even more terrifying is that the members of the wedding procession on the opposite side reacted identically to them, with the same terrified and shocked expressions, and the same movements, as if they were exactly replicated in a mirror.

"This is weird. I can actually see ghosts in broad daylight!"

The crowd watching on the roadside were so frightened that they looked at an old man with a gray beard and said, "Master Wu, please take a look at what is going on!"

In the crowd, an old man smoking a pipe frowned and looked carefully at the two wedding processions. His frown deepened and he finally shook his head: "My cultivation is still shallow and I can't see the trick. I'd better go and ask Lord Di Yu for help. If it's too late... maybe I really can't tell the difference."

People rushed to tell each other and soon called the local guards who were patrolling nearby. At the same time, a large number of people also came to see this strange thing.

"Lord Diyu, did you... see anything?" Fifth Master asked cautiously.

The two earth masters both shook their heads seriously.

"Sir, we are the real ones!" a sturdy man carrying the sedan chair shouted urgently.

"Don't listen to him, they are monsters and we are the real ones!" On the other side, the same strong man shouted angrily.

The two Di Yu suddenly felt a headache, looked at each other, and decided to report to their superiors.

At this moment, a handsome man with short hair walked out of the crowd, followed by a beautiful girl who looked like a fairy.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, let me see what's going on."
