The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 210 Iron Wall, Copper Wall, Bloody Sky (asking for monthly ticket)

"Not peaceful? What's not peaceful?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu glanced at the head maid's wavy breasts with a bit of surprise, thinking that this was indeed not peaceful.

This ghost nun with severed fingers doesn’t seem to be wearing the symmetrical one, the great invention that claims to have liberated women?

I didn't notice it before, but now it seems that it is indeed a bit too convex.

However, Xu Shu had thousands of female disciples yesterday, and his threshold is very high now. This is just a small scene of chickens and rabbits, and it can't tempt him at all.

He remained calm and looked outside in the direction the head maid was looking.

The moonlight is colorful, the woman’s scent is fragrant; the wasteland is empty and desolate; the man is impulsive and panic-stricken.

Xu Shu: …

He did not see anything strange in this wasteland where the moonlight was shining and his relatives were far away. Instead, he could smell a faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

Looking back at Gu Pan and his aunt Gu Yueming who were leaning against him nervously, Xu Shu suddenly lowered his eyes as if thinking about something.

It's strange, why do they smell so similar?
Using the same perfume?

Xu Shu suddenly lowered his head, causing the head maid to mistakenly think that he knew what she meant, so she continued, "Strange, those things suddenly disappeared again. Anyway, I'm afraid this place is not safe anymore."

"Oh, is it so?"

In fact, Xu Shu had no idea what she was talking about.

However, as the owner of the Taichu Scroll, he has always been good at "deciphering words". Therefore, after a little thought, he reasonably inferred from her few words that there may have been some monsters around here, and there were probably quite a few of them, threatening the nuns who were also hiding in the woods outside. But now when she complained, the monsters disappeared again, so she was so surprised.

Xu Shu turned and winked at Gu Pan.

The swordsman who cherished his ancestors' heart immediately understood what was going on. He walked over, stood on tiptoe, and whispered beside Xu Shu's earlobe, "Just now, in the night, we could indeed see a lot of monsters. There were quite a few of them, and most of them were underground monsters."

It is commonly accepted in the wasteland that the so-called 'underground monsters' have a clear reference. They are those monsters that emerge from underground after nightfall and sit in silence facing the moon, and those that lie on the walls of the safe zone and play the game of stacking monsters with mountains, seas and monsters.

When it dies, it drops nothing and just turns into ashes and dissipates, without even a single erosion crystal.

Because they are stingy monsters, Xu Shuyuan calls them "stingy ghosts".

They are mainly concentrated within a few kilometers outside the safe zone walls, and their numbers decrease gradually as they go further out.

In an area like this, which is near the northern border, this kind of "stingy person" should be almost never seen.

At this point, Gu Pan added one more sentence before shrinking back: "It's just strange, he was still there just now."

Xu Shu shook his head and pulled at his pants in a strange manner.

Gu Pan spoke too close to Xu Shu. Although this girl was dressed as a man, she was well-endowed. She spoke so softly that Xu Shu almost stood up.

He pretended to hold down the gun to avoid embarrassment, and at the same time, without saying much, he already had some preliminary doubts and arguments in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happened, these monsters should have been attracted by the aura emitted by the golden epic "Yang God Seal" that he had fused together!

Epic monsters will naturally attract other monsters around them. This was the situation Xu Shu encountered when he first came to this world.

A similar situation is when a ritual to summon an evil god is performed and initially successful.

In fact, if we trace the root of the problem, it is the characteristics of the upper-level weird existence itself that will involuntarily attract the lower-level monsters.

Therefore, in the early stage of the breakthrough, when the curse had not been completely contained, the faint breath that was scattered and could only be sensed by monsters attracted nearby monsters.

After he successfully contained the second curse, these auras disappeared and naturally lost their ability to attract monsters. They must have left quickly.

Yes, at this moment Xu Shu had completely contained his second curse seal. The two curse seals were closely connected in his body, completing the breakthrough from point to line.

Now he has successfully advanced.

The second stage of the Hercules Path is the iron armor known as “human armor” in ancient times!

This is also why Xu Shu had been refusing, but just now he readily accepted the maid's invitation.

The reason is simple: it is his breakthrough that has brought about an increase in strength.

"Let's go, lead the way and meet your master." Xu Shu said lightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, full of confidence.

In this wasteland, even a sixth-rank Jizo can only hide pitifully underground like an ant.

She, Su Ji Herrera, is certainly very strong outside, perhaps having the strength of the third or even fourth level.

But as a demon, within this border line, she has to lie down like a dragon and coil up like a tiger!

She is at most level one, and can only be level one!
I am at level two and you are at level one. Why should I be afraid of you?

Of course, Xu Shu knew that Su Ji's status was definitely not low, but he just happened to be lacking some good erosion crystals.

Therefore, he had to rush over before the other party discovered his promotion, so that she would not run away after finding out!
What? Someone said this is impolite?
Xu Shu could only say, sorry, politeness is reserved for respectable dead people!

"Then should we wait here?" Gu Pan and Gu Yueming asked.

Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "No need. Take your luggage and go with us, so that we don't have to come back later to look for it."

"Okay." Gu Pan agreed immediately.

Gu Yueming was a little hesitant. She didn't say anything until she and Gu Pan went to pack up and left the nun's sight. Then she whispered, "Panpan, is this inappropriate? Why don't we wait until daytime? Why is Xu Shu suddenly so radical? He seemed quite cautious before..." Gu Yueming's voice suddenly became weak and she felt very strange.

Gu Pan rolled his eyes secretly.

What other reason could there be?
Become stronger...

To be on the safe side, she turned around, stretched out two fingers, and gestured to Xu Shu to ask.

In order not to attract attention, she had a special posture, looking like she was pointing at her face and making a "yeah" gesture.

Xu Shu almost laughed out loud, but still nodded imperceptibly.

"...Fuck, he's really at the second level! He actually..."

Gu Pan gritted his teeth, puffed his face and went to pack up with Gu Yueming.

How many days?

How many days has it been?

This guy broke through to the second level in less than a month!
How many people are only at this level now?
Is this the terrifying effect brought about by the epic curse?

Look around, don't envy others.

You can do it too!
With the inheritance from your ancestors, you are a true genius in speaking!
The feeling of frustration only lasted for a short while, and then Gu Pan cheered up.

This made Gu Yueming next to him look stunned.

What happened to this kid recently? It seems like this has happened more than once. He always gets depressed and then gets excited...

Gu Yueming was puzzled, and the current situation was not a good one to discuss things, so he could only remember it silently. He decided that after this matter was over and he returned to the safe zone, he would find a good psychologist to diagnose his "daughter".

The two men quickly packed their bags, including tents, insect repellents and other necessary items for field marches, then drove out the military armored off-road vehicle hidden behind the yard and met at the door.

"Please follow us." The bizarre experience that night made the head maid of Storm Manor alert. She no longer cared about making flirtatious remarks and led the way directly.

A group of nuns followed the car on both sides like stars surrounding the moon, and began their night march at a speed of less than fifteen yards, neither fast nor slow.

Xu Shu didn't want to be illuminated by the crappy moon all the time, so he got into the car, sat in the back seat, turned on his upgraded drive, enabled the anti-peep mode to shrink the screen to a small size, and looked at it calmly.

Seeing this, Gu Yueming followed suit and lay lazily on the passenger seat. She did not hide anything and started browsing openly, like a woman addicted to the Internet.

Gu Pan rolled his eyes in annoyance and drove the car obediently.

She was treated as a driver again!
The night was dark and the surroundings were silent except for the sound of running vehicles' engines. Outside, there were blue and green ghost lights, which were the nuns accompanying them.

The driver Gu Pan was very nervous, but Xu Shu was very comfortable.

In fact, he already knew the abilities he had acquired this time.

But looking back on it now, it is still very exciting.

The palm-sized screen clearly displays the abilities gained after this promotion.

* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan (Taichu), Level 2 Iron Armor

*Contributions: 41
[First-level Curse: Hercule (Legend) // Level: 20/20]

[Second-level Curse Seal: Iron Armor (Legendary) // Level: 01/20]

-

Contribution points dropped sharply, with the majority of them going to the incense burner used to position the array, and a small portion going to the shipping fee for a single delivery. A total of 145 points were spent this time, leaving only 41 contribution points.

After being promoted to the second level, personal information will be displayed accordingly in the upgraded driver.

Outside, you can only see the main profession. For example, Xu Shu's first-level curse is "Alien Warrior". Among them, the entry belonging to "Alien" is epic, and the entry belonging to "Warrior" is legendary. The higher one is the main attribute. The same is true for the second-level curse. In "Yangshen Iron Armor", the legendary outlaws are the main ones. The last array shows only the main profession, which is the second-level of the Warrior path, Iron Armor.

After clicking to view the details, the specific content of each curse will be displayed.

What Xu Shu saw now was the specific content of the second-order curse:

[Entry 1: Yangshen (Epic)]

*Talents: Spiritual Perception, Blood Vault!

[Entry 2: Madman (Legend)]

*Talents: Strong character, strong will, strong defense, domineering!
-

Looking at his newly acquired second-level talent skills, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile knowingly, feeling that all the hard work he had put in during this period was nothing.

The first one comes from the epic [Yang Shen] curse.

The epic curse comes with two innate skills at the beginning. Each subsequent upgrade will give you a chance to gain enlightenment, and up to three additional breakthrough skills.

Among the two basic talents this time, "Spiritual Perception", as the name suggests, can improve the ability to perceive some things that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.

It is a passive skill. When there is a special existence nearby, you will feel something, such as an inexplicable sense of danger or creepiness.

At the same time, it can be turned on actively, allowing oneself to enter a brief state of clairvoyance and see more things.

Regarding this ability, Xu Shu could only say that it would be best to keep it as a passive skill forever.

There really are evil gods and strange and terrifying things in this world.

It's okay to just sense it at ordinary times, and use it to seek benefits and avoid harm.

If you rely on your strong spirituality and look around and spy at will, perhaps something fine could happen, but you can create trouble!
In this regard, Xu Shu himself has the Taichu Volume and the journey mode, which allows him to foresee the future, so this ability can be regarded as a reinforcement for him, especially at night.

Night is when Xu Shu is at his "weakest". He doesn't have the Taichu Volume to use. This spiritual perception ability may allow him to avoid some powerful beings in time.

From a certain perspective, this talent is similar to the "Bloodthirsty" skill that is most popular among teammates in the "Rogue" path, but they have different focuses.

Putting this aside, the second talent of "Yang Shen", "Blood Sky", is what makes Xu Shu happy.

Just like the "Eight Spider Lance", this skill belongs to the third family of Gui, no, the fifth family of Gui, it is a "transformation skill".

"Blood Sky" is guided by blood. This skill needs to consume blood to activate. After activation, blood will be consumed every moment. However, during this period, his body can enter a liquefied state, just like liquid metal!
It can be said that in this state, Xu Shu can be immune to a lot of physical damage, including explosions, sharp objects, blunt objects, etc.

Directly turning into a liquefied man during battle can make many professions with relatively realistic skills daunting.

Back then, Xu Shu had been disgusted by the shadow stealth skills of the "criminal" path, and was exhausted and nearly died.

And now, he himself also possesses similar mysterious skills. When he encounters enemies inexplicably in the future, he can also be like those guys and just cheat and run away if he can't beat them!

This skill, it can be said, greatly enhances Xu Shu's survivability in combat.

The only pity is that in the liquefied state, I turned into a puddle of people and couldn't do [sit-ups], otherwise this skill would be directly invincible! It's a pity that I can't change it.

The other one, "Iron Madman", is a higher-level legendary seal. Like the first-level Heart of Steel, it can have three initial talents at the beginning.

Among them, "Iron Bones" and "Iron Walls and Copper Walls" are talents that most iron armor professions have.

Iron Bones is a passive talent. As the name suggests, every warrior in Iron Armor is a real man of iron and blood. This directly allows the warrior path to reach a higher level on the road to "physical strength".

The first-level strongmen basically have "thick skin and tough flesh", and when they reach the second level, they all have "iron bones", giving a sense of progressive training of muscles, bones and skin, first grinding the flesh and then strengthening the muscles and bones.

The skill "Iron Wall and Bronze Wall" is also the signature skill of the Iron Armor profession. Xu Shu once saw Li Toyota use it when he entered the ruins of Lanruo Cottage. It can condense the power in the body into a substantial huge shield to protect himself and his teammates. It has extremely high team value.

These two skills are common skills for the Ironclad profession, and every Ironclad has them.

The third skill, “domineering”, is a little different.

The so-called "looking down on the crowd and showing off one's domineering attitude" is a madman!

This skill allows Xu Shu to possess extremely strong pressure. The higher the level of the skill used against the lower level, the stronger the pressure will be, directly affecting the enemy's momentum and even the strength they can exert.

Even if the level gap is big enough, you can directly release your domineering aura and scare the enemy so much that they kneel down and beg for mercy, and they collapse without fighting.

The intensity of the pressure depends on the level difference.

Yes, just look at the level difference!

This made Xu Shu feel that there was great potential for him.

My second-level, two legendary seals have a maximum level of 40 in total.

And some third-level players might only have three spells added up to level 33, 35, and so on. Because of the existence of bottleneck power, many extraordinary players cannot fully upgrade the third spell and can no longer upgrade it.

Normally, even if the opponent's level is lower than his own, the third level is still the third level. Xu Shu himself has experienced the advancement of the third level and completed the leap in strength "from line to surface". He knows that there is a special chasm between them.

It stands to reason that it is almost impossible to defeat it head-on.

However, now that we have "dominance", that possibility exists.

The possibility of the weak defeating the strong and the inferior overcoming the superior!

So why did Xu Shu suddenly become so confident once he advanced?

There’s no way around it, the skills granted by the curse are really too gorgeous.

This is the confidence that the legendary curse brings to Xu Shu!
"Speaking of which, the second level and the first level are really different! The difference in the skill level..."

"At the first level, I am like a small excavator. Even though I am powerful, I always feel that something is not right and it is difficult to exert my strength. I have the power of an excavator, but I am just a mortal body after all. If the shield is broken, I will die. If I don't do sit-ups and get killed, I will also die!"

"But now, even if I am killed, I won't necessarily die! And my strength will be easier to release and bring into play!"

Xu Shu silently withdrew his gaze and looked outside, feeling refreshed in his heart. The ancients often said "the inner heart is clear", which is nothing more than this.

Their thoughts raced, the moonlight around them was blocked for a long time, and they inexplicably entered a small path along the mountain.

Not long after, when the moonlight shone again, swirling gusts of wind appeared not far in front of the eyes, whistling on the golden hillside, knocking the trees to the ground, and the howling sound of the wind was startling.

Xu Shu and others in the car also clearly felt the resistance coming from outside.

The nuns outside the car window were even more exaggerated, with their robes fluttering and shaking, and their dark green lanterns about to be blown out at any time, making them look like ghosts covered only by their robes.

Further up, on the top of the hill, stood a huge castle, covering a vast area. Its walls were more than ten meters high, and its huge iron gate looked indestructible.

On the city wall, there is a string of incomprehensible, streamlined and quite majestic words written.

Xu Shu discovered that this font was not any kind of writing in real human society or even in past civilizations.

But he has seen it.

These are the words from the Book of Demons!

Storm Mountain Villa, the territory belonging to Suki Herrera, has finally arrived.

The vehicle continued to move forward, arduously passing through the stormy hillside, and arrived in front of the city gate that looked like a medieval castle complex.

The huge iron-clad wooden door was tightly closed.

You can see a strange man locked with huge chains inside the door. He is nearly three meters tall, fat and huge, dressed in tattered clothes, emitting a foul smell, and just lying on the ground.

Rather than being a person, it is more like a huge mass of meat in a human shape.

The bloated belly of this piece of meat is filled with free-growing, waving slender fingers, which looks like swaying fluorescent grass, weird and strange.

"Hey~"

Seeing such a thing, Gu Yueming and Gu Pan felt a little nauseous at the same time. Gu Pan quickly clicked on the car's control instrument and changed the external circulation to "internal circulation".

Outside, two nuns went to knock on the door.

The car waited outside for a while.

However, the huge monster turned a blind eye, as if he couldn't see everyone. He even used his trunk to gnaw on the hind leg of an unknown animal, causing it to bleed.

The two nuns retreated, hunched over, and whispered something to the head maid.

The head maid nodded and suddenly said to Xu Shu in the car, "Sir, please wait here for a moment. I will ask Lord Spider to open the city gate."

what?
Xu Shu was obviously stunned.

What is this? I was turned away? Didn't you invite me here?
For some reason, Xu Shu clearly felt that the attitude of the head maid changed a lot in an instant, and the other nuns were even more timid and seemed a little afraid.

They seem to be afraid of the pig...oh no, afraid of the spider?
I remembered that a woman once said that fingers would grow on spiders. It seems that she was referring to this weirdo?
Xu Shu glanced at the timid expressions of everyone including the head maid and couldn't help but frown.

Then, he suddenly opened the car door, got out, and smiled kindly at the group of nuns:

"No need to bother, I'll go and ask him to open the door myself!"
