The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 196: The hero dies and makes a comeback (asking for monthly tickets)
As the saying goes, extreme joy leads to tears, and extreme happiness leads to sorrow. At this moment, the complete process from being happy to being happy to death was played out.

Among the members of the Hunter Association, there are more than ten extraordinary people alone; if you count the accompanying auxiliary personnel, the team is huge, with at least sixty or seventy people.

As a result, as soon as they left the "wheel track" of the ground area of ​​​​Hatching Ksitigarbha, before they had time to celebrate the joy of being alive, these people turned into ashes one after another and disappeared completely.

Just as Song Qixing realized at the end of his life, anyone who died even once in that strange cycle of illusions meant that his real life was dead, and what continued to participate in the cycle was nothing more than a spirit cursed by Ksitigarbha, unable to dissipate and rest.

This is the terrifying thing about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Once you enter the illusion, you will fall into reincarnation forever. Even death cannot free you!
Although Xu Shu was not involved in the cycle of accidents that these people had fallen into before, he had enough information after all. With his own imagination, it was easy for him to understand it all.

But even though he understood, he couldn't help but open his mouth and cursed after a slight pause as he watched the people he brought with him die.

"If I don't save you, you'll die. If I save you, you'll still die. Then wouldn't it be a waste of my time saving you?"

"Damn it, this is outrageous!"

His eyes immediately fell on the only five survivors at the scene, and he frowned: "Are you guys going to be reduced to ashes too?"

"Ah?" The two members of the Song family had lost their elders and were at a loss. They looked horrified when asked by Xu Shu.

Gu Pan at the side waved his hands and said, "No, no! Look, Lao Song said before he died that as long as you haven't died in that, you'll be fine."

Gu Yueming also looked at Xu Shu deeply and said softly: "Although it is an illusion, once you die, you are really dead. We are lucky."

As she spoke, she withdrew her hands. Tang Rou, whose arms were originally broken, had her arms reattached under her treatment.

The latter stretched his arms and said, "After being trapped in this weird looping space so many times, most people have been trapped. Only a few of us are lucky and have not died once. But they are unlucky and died here. What a pity!"

It is truly sad and sigh-worthy that such a crisis has buried so many people.

But perhaps because they had seen too many deaths in the illusion, after their memories were restored, everyone had become numb to their companions who had died over and over again in the illusion, so their emotions were surprisingly stable and they were not overly sad.

Tang Rou's personality is as straightforward as her hot body. Although she is the only one left in the Tang family who died this time, she doesn't seem to be sad. Instead, she directly holds Xu Shu's hand and says, "This time, it's really thanks to you for saving me, brother. Otherwise, I would have starved to death even if I hadn't been killed... I don't need to thank you for your kindness. I, Tang Rou, will definitely remember this... Ugh~"

Tang Rou had only said half of her words when she suddenly seemed to remember something. She covered her stomach and vomited violently.

She vomited some yellow and white mucus-like filth, which looked like recently digested food, and a pungent smell instantly filled the air.

Xu Shu: “?”

No, what do you mean?
Is there shit on my hands? Do you vomit after touching it?
Besides, it wasn't me who asked you to shake hands, was it?

Xu Shu was completely confused by this scene. He quickly took a few steps back, covered his nose, and looked confused.

Tang Rou had a rough but delicate personality. She was quick to realize that Xu Shu had misunderstood her, so she didn't dare to neglect him. She vomited and explained, "I'm sorry... It's not because of you... I just vomited when I thought of something unpleasant~"

"...Okay." Xu Shu retreated to the next room, farther away from them.

As we all know, vomiting is contagious.

For example, if there is an old lady on a crowded long-distance bus who suddenly lies down at the door and vomits all over the floor, then the unlucky people around her who are "influenced by what they see and hear" will basically not be able to escape the disaster.

So, at this time, when she vomited, everyone else couldn't help but start vomiting, such as the two younger generations of the Song family, one boy and one girl.

Gu Yueming's face turned pale, and he quickly covered himself with a layer of green light. He seemed to have recovered, and just retched a few times, but was not too embarrassed.

For some reason she seemed to have forgotten about her niece and forgot to take care of Gu Pan, so after a moment of nausea, Gu Pan covered his mouth with a grunt, his face ashen, as if he was about to ejaculate at any moment.

However, she looked at Xu Shu and found that he was staring at her with disgust, and her eyes suddenly froze.

“No! No, I can’t lose my composure in front of him…” She seemed to have a last breath of light. She clenched her fingers, clenched her teeth, and slowly straightened her back, like a mountain god holding up the world.

At this moment, Gu Pan relied on his extraordinary willpower to suppress the urge to vomit, which no normal person could resist.

"Hiss, this smell...what's wrong with you? Why are you all vomiting?"

Xu Shu covered his nose and asked with a look of disgust.

Gu Pan, who had recovered his breath, sighed: "I remember..."

As soon as she started to speak, Gu Yueming beside her interrupted her and said with a shy expression: "I just came out of the illusion, and I can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, just like I feel carsick."

"Eh?" Gu Pan was startled at first, then she glanced at Gu Yueming. After a few seconds, she nodded in sudden realization and said to Xu Shu, "Yes, Auntie is right."

Xu Shu: ???
Damn it, do you think I'm blind and can't see that you two are in collusion with each other by flirting with each other?
In this way, Xu Shu no longer had to doubt, knowing that the wet nurse in front of him with an astonishing amount of milk was indeed his aunt with whom he had a good relationship, and not that cold and annoying urban white-collar slut.

However, Xu Shu didn't have time to care about these details at the moment. Whether he was carsick or milk sickness, none of it mattered.

He now has to deal with the tied-up Nieqiba.

So many evil spirits were killed below, but not a single erosion crystal exploded. It was such a pity.

But at least, the evil monster in front of him is real, and there is a level 14 green quality erosion crystal in its body.

This cannot be wasted.

Xu Shu rubbed his hands and walked towards Nie Qiba who was tied to the ground, ready to kill her and dig out the corrosive crystals in her body.

At this time, Tang Rou and the two people from the Song family had almost vomited.

The former walked over and asked in a familiar manner: "Brother Xu, we can't stay here for long, right? Should we leave here first?"

Without even a moment to mourn for his dead teammates, the first person to leave the battlefield was the former captain of the Hunter Association's investigation team, the second-level transcendent Tang Rou.

Of course, this behavior cannot be called "desertion".

She has participated in many battles, fighting to the death, and has survived to this day only because of her own strong strength.

Now that we are leaving, we have to judge the situation. Considering that there are two members of the Song family and two members of the Gu family here, the right thing to do is to retreat in time. Someone has to report the situation here to the higher-ups so that they know what happened.

However, unlike the cautious and sneaky look when he came here in the morning, Xu Shu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's safe here."

"Forehead."

"Is this so..."

Tang Rou and Gu Yueming were a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Xu Shu smiled carefreely and pointed at his feet: "Everyone, you have to have some confidence in the Star Tower."

What he was standing on was the border line of the wasteland, which separated the inside and the outside, and made all monsters dare not invade. It was the "lifeline of the end of the world".

"We have the Star Tower to protect us now, so we can rest assured." Xu Shu said.

They were now standing on the border line, and inside was the boundary of the ground territory of Dizang - that strange axis of the car.

"That's correct..." Tang Rou hesitated and didn't say the second half of the sentence.

But when we were trapped in such a weird cycle before, we were also within the border!

In fact, after a hundred meters or so from here there is an open space with only low shrubs, and further away is the dark and gloomy wasteland forest, as well as the outlines of mountains with peaks and ridges.

The whole place was covered with thick vines twisting like dragons and snakes, and towering trees covered with strange human-face-shaped molds - compared to the wasteland, even the plants in the wasteland seemed a little weird.

It doesn't look safe here anyway.

However, seeing Xu Shu's calm and composed appearance, and thinking of his previous powerful appearance, Tang Rou and others hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe him.

Although, they all felt that the young boy in front of them should only be a first-level transcendent.

But there was no way. It was all thanks to Xu Shu that they were able to leave that strange cyclical illusion.

If I don’t trust him, who else can I trust?
I just don’t know where this person’s confidence comes from.

Xu Shu's confidence, of course, comes from his unique and powerful intelligence.

There is a border line. As long as you walk steadily outside the line, I believe that the Ksitigarbha will not dare to cause trouble.

He himself was busy escaping from the border, so how could he dare to cause trouble?

Intelligence major, right?
I exchanged it for three lives.

Xu Shu laughed in his heart and asked Gu Pan to stretch out his hand. The latter immediately understood and handed him a short dagger.

Then, he walked over with malicious intent and murderous intent, pinched Neqiba's pretty face, and suddenly laughed: "Fortunately, I killed Bahamut, otherwise he would have fought with me to death if he saw his little wife being toyed with by me."

"I want to kill you or chop you up, you...wait."

Neqiba, who had already accepted her fate, was suddenly stunned, looked up and said angrily: "Human, what are you talking about? Lord Bahamut... What did you do to him? Did you kill him? How is it possible, for a weak being like you..." She suddenly became anxious, stuck out her tongue and hissed, as if she was feeling something.

After a moment, Neqiba's face showed deep despair and pessimism, and he murmured to himself: "I can't feel the presence of Lord Bahamut anymore..."

"This is impossible, how could this happen... Why would Lord Bahamut die in the Lord's Kingdom... How could this happen!"

At this moment, Nie Qiba, who looked terrifying in appearance, seemed to have turned into a poor young wife who had lost her husband, with a face full of grievance.

This grievance turned into anger, and she shouted, "Who is it! Who killed Lord Bahamut!"

"Who is it? Who on earth killed Lord Bahamut?!"

Shit, it was me who just talked to you, are you an idiot?

Xu Shu looked at Nie Qiba, who was probably angry because of losing his lover, and suddenly smiled. He said in a long and erratic voice: "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you mercifully! In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to maintain world peace, it was I who killed the octopus!" (Note 1)

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of the people behind him.

Gu Yueming, Tang Rou and others looked at Xu Shu in astonishment from afar, not understanding why he inexplicably started reciting poems to a monster, and why he looked so mean?
This Nie Qiba obviously doesn't have a high IQ. Is he bullying a mentally retarded person?

It's baffling.

Only Gu Pan thought this was too normal. He sighed secretly and shook his head.

"Alas, Xu Shu is indeed very strong, but he is still too naive. What can you do alone to bring peace to this world?"

"Being too open and aboveboard will lead to disadvantages..."

'By the way, where is that weird monk on his back?'

Gu Pan was suddenly stunned, turned to Gu Yueming and asked his own question.

The latter's eyes also darkened. In fact, she and Tang Rou also noticed this. They knew very well how powerful the monk was.

Could it be that it is still in there?
Before they could think about it, they suddenly heard a scream of extreme grief and anger from the spot.

"How dare you kill Lord Bahamut! You lowly human, I curse you! I will make you be punished in the Lord's Kingdom!"

The sound came from the tied-up alien monster, Nieqiba.

She stared at Xu Shu, her eyes red, filled with intense hatred and determination.

"Human, feel the pain! My Lord will let you know what despair is!" Neqiba roared.

"Okay, let me see it for myself!"

Seeing this, Xu Shu smiled in his heart.

Success!

Next, it is time for this evil creature to burn itself in the black flames and then open the door to the ruins!

All of this was still within his calculations.

He just wanted to test it out and let this Nie Qiba once again sacrifice himself by self-immolation and communicate with Ksitigarbha to get the result.

Why on earth, the "Kingdom of God" she mentioned clearly referred to the underground fantasy world of Jizo, but during the journey, she shouted "Open the gate to the Kingdom of God" twice in a row, while at the same time opening the entrance to the ruins that seemed somewhat familiar?

Xu Shu can now conduct experiments on this.

He stared at Nekiba quietly, waiting for her to be burned to ashes by the black flames she summoned herself.

Nie Qiba also stared at Xu Shu quietly, waiting to be sacrificed by him so that he could drag the other party into the Lord's kingdom of God and make his life miserable.

Just watch quietly.

Time passed minute by minute, and the breeze blew gently, blowing up Nieqiba's soft and shiny black hair, gently hitting her fair and translucent face.

After a while, Xu Shu frowned and pinched the other person's face: "Hey, do you regret it and don't want to burn yourself? I think your loyalty to Lord Bahamut is fake!"

Nie Qiba was also confused.

She stared at Xu Shu blankly, and protested in a daze: "No, it's not like that... How could it be... Why can't I feel the Kingdom of the Lord... No, where is my Lord? Supreme, eternal Lord, I beg you to respond to my call! You are the supreme being who holds the authority of space, the great and infinite Ouroboros..."

Neqiba began to pray quickly, she kept chanting the honorable name of Jizo, her eyes were filled with tears, and it was obvious how deeply she loved Bahamut.

However, this does not change the fact that she seems to have lost the gaze of her Lord.

She completely lost the ability to respond to Dizang.

This time, the self-immolation ritual to summon Jizo was a complete failure!
"She actually failed. From what she said, it seems that she has lost contact with Uchiha Jizo?"

"Could it be that the escape of the tailed Jizo only happened in this reality, and it did not happen in the past expeditions..."

"If this is the case, it seems... it seems that I have to suspect that this has something to do with my arrival..."

Xu Shu's eyes fixed.

Obviously, some changes had occurred in the dark, causing the little gatekeeper Nie Qiba's ability to summon evil spirits to become ineffective.

The reason is still unclear, and he can only guess and cannot make a judgment.

After all, this evil Qiba couldn't even burn himself to death, so naturally he couldn't be used by Xu Shu for experiments.

Now that things have come to this, even if you are unwilling, you have no choice but to let it go.

Fortunately, Xu Shu has always been free and easy, and never forces things that he cannot get. He gave up the test immediately without feeling any frustration.

As for this evil monster that had eaten many people alive, it was naturally no longer of any use to him. Xu Shu raised his sword and killed the monster, taking away the erosion crystals in her body.

This is a gem containing 14 green flocs, which is lush and beautiful.

"Let's go, let's get out of here."

Xu Shu wiped the corrosive crystals clean and walked forward towards Gu Pan and the others.

They were about seventy or eighty meters away from him, standing in front of the lighthouse (19, 19), with the same look of surprise on their faces.

"……Um?"

Seeing the distance between the two parties, Xu Shu's expression suddenly froze.

wrong!

Something is wrong!
Before, everyone was less than ten meters apart!

When did it become seventy or eighty meters away?
He suddenly turned around and looked around, and was shocked to find that there was a lighthouse supply point behind him, which looked exactly the same as the one in front.

The only difference is that the lighthouse where Gu Pan and others are located is within the border line.

The lighthouse next to me is outside the border line - it is easy to identify because there is a wasteland not far behind it, and the wasteland can be used as a reference!
I didn't know when I was moved outside the border, about fifty meters away from the border.

"How could this be...wait, the same picture, the exact same mirrored scene, this is..."

Xu Shu was stunned, then suddenly came to his senses.

"Fuck, I get it!"

"The One-Tailed Jizo has successfully escaped! From now on, the area beyond the border is his real territory on earth!"

"No wonder Nieqiba's sacrifice just now failed. She must have sacrificed in the wrong direction!"

After realizing this, Xu Shu ran towards the border without saying anything else.

"Fortunately, Dizang seems to have no interest in me..." But at this moment, a black shadow came from a hundred meters away and arrived in front of Xu Shu almost instantly.

Blocking his way to the border.

The compound eyes on top of the head trembled one after another, and the resolute face that looked like it had been chiseled by a knife and an axe uttered words that sounded almost like gnashing teeth:

"You cunning and vicious little bug, I finally caught you!"

Xu Shu took a breath of cold air.

Damn, old acquaintance.

Count, Reims!
Damn it, when did he come?
