The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 262: Eighth level epiphany, the enemy is ashamed to take off his armor! The bishop comes to help (6K monthly ticket request)
Xu Shu experienced a sleepless night.

Everyone else stopped, took a rest and went to sleep because they were tired, but he was still spurting blood.

By the next morning, it was already noon, and the Taichu Volume's [The rising sun, all things revive] had been refreshed once, with the number of times it had been opened today +3, but he was still bleeding.

I sprayed from evening to morning, and from morning to noon, without any rest in between.

By the afternoon, Xu Shu's lips were trembling and he finally stopped.

His face was pale, like a drug addict on the first day of his drug addiction. He lay on the toilet and vomited for a long time, vomiting out bitter water.

Then he just lay on the ground, like a fish with its belly turned up, breathing heavily.

Turning around, he saw seven green crystals wrapped in green lace next to him, lying there trembling like the Calabash Brothers, as if seducing Xu Shu.

He swallowed and finally gave up the idea of ​​eating these seven crystals.

No, I can’t eat anymore. I need to take a rest. If I eat any more, I’ll die!
It took Xu Shu eighteen hours to successfully digest 45 erosion crystals.

I eat an average of fifteen pieces in half a day, but I actually eat very fast at the beginning and then slowly slow down.

I really can't eat any more. If I force myself to eat, my body will be protected by "sit-ups", but my spirit will not be able to bear it.

The last time I had this feeling was in the wasteland, when I took a look at the eyeball that Suki Herrera was wearing during the journey.

Xu Shu felt as if his brain had been hollowed out and he was completely confused.

"As expected, we should not be too greedy and reckless..."

"It seems that the pressure during the breakthrough is multifaceted, not just physical, but also the soul..."

"I'll eat these seven pieces tonight... No, tomorrow, tomorrow night!"

For the first time in his life, Xu Shu finally experienced what it meant to be a wild boar that couldn't eat fine bran.

In the past, he always lacked erosion crystals. If he was lucky, he could get seven or eight a day. If he was unlucky, he could only get one or two a day, or even come back empty-handed.

At that time, he always felt that he had not eaten enough and wished he could eat as much as he could in one day.

Now I can finally eat as much as I want.

Oh my god, I almost ate to death!
I'm not referring to my physical body, but my soul, which almost exploded.

The key point is that this sequelae did not develop gradually, but as Xu Shu absorbed more and more eroding curse power, when it exceeded a certain critical value, it suddenly exploded.

This really caught Xu Shu off guard.

It was a close call!

If Xu Shu were asked to try it again now, he would not dare to do so because it is too dangerous.

"No wonder those extraordinary people who enjoy the support of the Governing Bureau, who have a medical team to do the post-processing and an unlimited supply of erosion crystals, can't reach level 12 in a few months. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't~"

Xu Shu lay on the ground, his mind a mess of thoughts, unable to control his thoughts.

Almost two hours passed before my complexion looked a little better and I felt like I had recovered a lot.

He got up from the ground, went to find something to fill his stomach, and turned on the upgrade drive.

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

*Contributions: 200
[First-level Curse: Hercule (Legend) // Level: 20/20]

[Second-level Curse Seal: Iron Armor (Legendary) // Level: 08/20]

Level 8!
After taking in 45 pieces of second-level crystal, Xu Shu increased his level by 8 levels in just one night and half a day!
Coincidentally, today is the 12th day of December, and my level has just increased by 8 levels.

Seeing this, Xu Shu's originally depressed spirit became much more excited.

At level 28, I can be called a "mid-second stage" master.

"In the past, the fastest way to improve a first-level curse seal was five levels a day. At that time, I didn't feel much energy. So, level six or level seven may be the limit of my daily improvement?"

"Not necessarily. The amount of erosion crystals consumed when you upgrade from level 6 to level 10 is completely different from the amount consumed when you upgrade from level 6 to level ."

"This limit should be affected by the amount of erosion magic power consumed..."

Xu Shu's mental state improved and his thinking became more active.

We can put aside the things that have consumed our limits that day, and now there is something else that makes us feel happy.

That is, although his own second-order curse seal "Yang Shen·Iron Armor" has not yet been upgraded to level 12, he has realized a breakthrough skill in advance.

Xu Shu clicked on the details of the second-level curse.

[Entry 1: Yangshen (Epic)]

*Talents: Spiritual Perception, Blood Vault!

[Entry 2: Madman (Legend)]

*Talents: Iron Bones, Iron Wall, Domineering, Love and Armor (Breakthrough Skill)

-

It was similar to the first stage. This time, it was also a "legendary" entry, and he was the first to realize a skill.

Xu Shu is now somewhat skeptical. Perhaps the legendary curse has some unclear effects such as "slightly increasing the chance of sudden enlightenment".

Love takes off its armor!

Literally, it seems to be able to break through the enemy's defense, but the wording feels a bit strange, but in fact...

Xu Shu calmed down and thought about it carefully.

After a moment, his expression became a little strange.

This unique skill...

It is quite powerful, and it can indeed force the enemy to be "armor-broken".

Releasing "Love Unarmoring" can forcibly deprive the opponent of their protective gear. It is worth mentioning that this protective gear includes the "Protective Spell".

Is it great?
Quite amazing!
When the fight starts, there is no clothes to wear, and the defense of non-Warrior professions will be reduced by 90%. Do you think it’s awesome?

But the problem is that this armor-breaking has a prerequisite.

The so-called "taking off the armor of love" has its core point in the word "love".

This unique skill can only be used on someone who "falls in love with you". As long as the other person has love in mind, whether it is shy love, passionate love, or jealous love, you can use your eyes to make the other person take the initiative to remove their defenses and take off the protective spell.

Well, clothes are also considered "armor" and will be taken off together.

Xu Shu smiled.

So...so what is the use of this skill?
Which enemy would have feelings for you?
Do you use it on your loved one?
This is a fucking sex toy, right?

It has no effect at all in actual combat!
Damn it, it took up my breakthrough skill slot for nothing, this is too bad!
What a lunatic, you are clearly a shameless and lustful person!
I suggest you change the name. It should be called "The enemy is embarrassed, I will take off her clothes"!
Xu Shu almost laughed out of anger.

As he laughed, his expression became serious.

This skill, viewed alone, seems to be of little use in actual combat.

Alas, but it seems that I can use it.

He silently opened the Taichu Scroll's item column, which contained a purple title.

[Succubus (flawless)]!
The function of a succubus is to seduce the opposite sex and anger the same sex.

The opposite sex who are charmed will develop a crazy and irresistible "desire" for him, wanting to possess his body, can't help but stick close to him, and wanting to have a relationship beyond friendship.

So, does “desire” count as “emotion”?
It seems that there is this possibility. Desire can be considered as "a strong desire to possess love"?
"Well, it's possible, but not certain. Find an opportunity and a target to give it a try!"

Xu Shu made up his mind silently.

Next, after the repair, the body has completely recovered to its peak condition.

Xu Shu turned on the upgrade driver and prepared to send a message to his aunt Gu Yueming to ask where they were and why the Gu family moved.

We haven’t been in touch since we separated the day before yesterday.

Xu Shu opened the chat interface, scrolled down many messages, found the dialog box with Gu Yueming, sent a message to them, asking where they were going and why they left without saying goodbye.

While waiting for a reply, Xu Shu went to the toilet and relieved himself happily.

After releasing the pressure, when Xu Shu was washing his hands, his underwear started to vibrate again.

He opened it and found that Gu Yueming had not replied to the message yet. The first person to come to him was the archbishop.

"Where are you? Are you okay?" - Yu Mingluan.

Hey, you’re finally back!

Xu Shu quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Bishop. I'm fine."

"That's good. Where are the Cao Gang members? I'll go with you. The Judgment Bureau reported to me this morning that they have checked the Cao Gang headquarters and there is no problem there. The pagans you mentioned should be hiding somewhere else." - Yu Mingluan.

Have you checked it? It's so fast! It seems that the bishop is very concerned.

But it makes sense. As the Archbishop of the Dawn Church, Yu Mingluan is the representative of the three major churches of mankind today. If he is not proactive in facing those pagans who worship evil gods, who will be proactive?
I guess after seeing my message today, he is regretting why he wasn’t online last night, haha!

Xu Shu perked up, but said helplessly, "Bishop, they left last night and never came back."

He didn't lie. The three guys from the Cao Gang did indeed leave yesterday, and they passed away peacefully.

After missing the opportunity yesterday, if we want to find out where their cult base is hidden, we have to spend more time and keep a close eye on the Cao Gang.

However, the Judgment Office sent people to investigate the Cao Gang?

Will this alert the enemy?

Xu Shu's thoughts raced when he saw another message from the bishop.

"Come over here, I've seen your contract. I've contacted them today and this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible." - Yu Mingluan.

You can see that he is really anxious.

But Xu Shu was a little different.

Have you read my contract?

"Bishop, are you talking about the contract?" - Gu Pan.

"Oh, I'm at your door now. There is something stuck in the crack of the door. It's a contract and a notice. I've read it." - Yu Mingluan.

The bishop is at my door?
What is he going to do?

After Xu Shu was stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly understood.

Could it be that the bishop thought that something happened to me and came here to rescue me?

Thinking of this, Xu Shu suddenly felt some warmth in his heart.

The Bishop is a very good man!

He saved my life last time in the wasteland.

Well, the only shortcoming is that he is not generous enough. As a dignified third-level being, he even wants to take away the first- and second-level God-chosen Mantra Crystals. Learn from Wuxin the Mage!

But why is there another contract at my doorstep?
As soon as this thought flashed through Xu Shu's mind, Yu Mingluan sent him a photo.

Xu Shu received the photo and clicked it. The photo showed a contract held by Yu Mingluan and a notice for payment.

The contract was a copy of the previous loan contract, and the notice of payment read:

"Ms. Li Guoying, the debtor, your repayment is overdue for ten days. We have reached a preliminary agreement with you, but you have failed to perform on time and have maliciously evaded. Please come to the Caobang branch on Yunbei Street (3.7) before pm tomorrow. Our company will discuss and implement the contents of the agreement with you in person. Please arrive in time to avoid overdue debts. If you refuse to perform, we will prepare relevant judicial materials and sue you. Please be notified..."

Xu Shu laughed angrily.

Damn the Cao Gang, you're still suing? The thief is crying thief, right?

But you know what, if facing an ordinary person like Li Guoying, this trick will definitely work!

But why do they dare to come?
Xu Shu sensed something was wrong, but soon noticed the blind spot.

The date of signature was 8 o'clock this morning, but the signer was not Yu Xiangwen, the Caoyun Workers' Alliance, but "Agent: Hero Club"

In other words, those who came to cause trouble today and those from the Cao Gang belong to two sides!

Xu Shu knew very well that the relationship between the Cao Gang and the Heroes Association was actually similar to an employment relationship, and the Cao Gang was working for the Heroes Association.

The Cao Gang didn't receive any response from their subordinates yesterday, and was investigated by the Judgment Bureau today. They must be careful and dare not take any rash actions.

The Hero Club, the "nominal agent and actual employer", took the initiative to send people to the community to ask questions. Did they really think that the three "strong men" were tempted by the money and absconded with the money?

That should be it!
I was just doing it casually, and my original intention was just to confuse people, but I didn't expect that due to some mistakes and the information gap between the two groups, the Cao Gang and the Heroes Society, I got an unexpected effect in the end!
At this point, the bishop has already been dispatched...

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly felt serious.

These guys dared to harm my family, I will never let them go! Today is the day they die!

"Bishop, I'll be there soon. I'm willing to be a pioneer today and completely eradicate this evil cult!"

Xu Shu decisively sent a team formation request to Yu Mingluan.

"Okay, I will support you from behind." Yu Mingluan accepted it quickly.

There are only two people in the team channel.

One is Yu Mingluan.

The other one is Xu Shu (Gu Pan).

Through the team channel, Xu Shu could see Yu Mingluan's location.

When he ran back home, he saw the contract and notice on the ground, but Yu Mingluan was no longer there. However, his location was still shown on the map, overlapping with his own.

"Your Excellency the Bishop?" Xu Shu asked.

A voice suddenly came to my ear: "Yes, I am."

The voice was a little hoarse and low, but Xu Shu still recognized that it was indeed Yu Mingluan.

Xu Shu looked left and right but did not see Yu Mingluan.

He quietly activated his "spiritual perception" and discovered that there was a slight fluctuation in the air behind him on the left. He finally saw a translucent red hooded robe.

what is this?
The Cardinal's ability?

Wearing red to become invisible?
If I didn't use my clairvoyance, I wouldn't be able to spot him at all, and now I can't even see him completely, he really has some ability.

You know, this clairvoyance ability was able to see through the secrets of even the fifth-level alien king "Aphelios"!
Xu Shu was immediately convinced.

Archbishop, hard!
However, he seemed to be the only one around.

Xu Shu put away the contract and notice, turned off his spiritual vision, and asked in a low voice:

"Bishop, are you here alone? This cult also has a third-level hidden, and there may be more than one~"

He was a little worried. If a fight broke out, the other side would have more people and the bishop would be alone. Would he be able to handle it?

Let's not go and die when the time comes!
Although Xu Shu wanted to completely wipe out the Cao Gang and the Hero Society, it didn't mean that he was willing to risk his life for it. It was totally unnecessary.

Yu Mingluan's voice came: "They are just ants. I am enough. There are three third-level warriors in the Cao Gang. If they come together, I can easily destroy them."

Ah this...

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment.

The bishop was very confident, he was not at all inferior to his enemies!
Moreover, the Cao Gang has three third-level members?

No, there are only two of them now!
Since Comrade Lao Yu is so confident, there is no reason for me to continue to be timid.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Bishop, let's set off."

After taking two steps, Yu Mingluan asked invisibly: "You pretend to be your mother to meet the other party? Or, I will find a female clergyman to pretend to be your mother, and you don't have to go."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu was immediately relieved and shook his head, saying, "It's okay. It's reasonable for a son to pay for his mother's debt. I brought my household registration book."

Yu Mingluan didn't say anything more, just said one word: "Okay."

Xu Shu found it a little funny.

This task should be somewhat challenging for the archbishop. Look, he has become serious and is no longer talkative.

I have to say, when the Archbishop speaks less and looks more serious, he really shows the demeanor of a strong man!
Soon, Xu Shu arrived at his destination, which was located in what was considered a "slum area".

I was a little worried at first that the contact here might find out and not take me with him.

I started thinking too much.

There was a sign on this place saying "Cao Gang Salt and Oil Supply and Marketing Point" and there was a group of burly men in short-sleeved shirts watching over the place.

After Xu Shu revealed his identity and stated his purpose, the other party pointed to the big green tent downstairs in the community and asked him to line up.

There are more than sixty people queuing ahead!
Ask the nervous older sister in front of me, and find out, yes, she was also a victim of the Cao Gang’s loan scam, and she had no money left, so she came here to “sell herself” to pay off her debts!

Xu Shu's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Damn it, why are the people from the Cao Gang and the Heroes Association so unconcerned about their subordinates' failure in my situation that they cast such a wide net after all this time?
These people really deserve to die!
Xu Shu cursed the ancestors of the Cao Gang and the Heroes Society in his heart. At the same time, he felt a little confused. So many people were involved and all went to be sacrificed. It made such a big noise. Aren’t they afraid?

Thinking about it carefully and recalling the scene of encountering the Heroes Meeting the night before, Xu Shu suddenly had some doubts.

Could it be that the so-called "human experiments" did not involve directly taking the subjects for sacrifice, but rather "testing" them first to see if they were qualified?
Only a few of them are qualified and sent to a more secret place for the next step; while the majority of "defective products" are sent home directly here?

When you think about it, it makes sense.

But I always feel like something is missing?
what is it then?

Something is wrong...

Xu Shu's brows furrowed more and more.

Yu Mingluan's voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xu Shu: “Uh…”

Archbishop, please don't do this! I'm not scared, but your words suddenly made the atmosphere very gay, which made me scared!

But you know what, the aura of a strong person is indeed useful.

Knowing that a great master at the peak of the third level was behind him and ready to take action at any time, Xu Shu felt calm and put aside all distracting thoughts.

After an hour or so, it was my turn in the queue.

Xu Shu sat in front of the dim window. Inside sat a nurse in uniform. Her sweet face made people feel relaxed.

Looking at the situation, it turns out they want to draw blood.

Using blood for preliminary screening of people?
How to test blood to see if you are liked by the "evil god"?
Make it into blood stew and invite the evil god to taste it?
Does He dare to come to the safe zone? Can He come to the safe zone?
"Sir, relax. Compression belt? Sir? Compression belt! Compression belt! Compression belt!"

Xu Shu was distracted, and the nurse got angry. She slapped his arm and cursed at him as if she was acting like a spoiled child.

Xu Shu did not tease her and cooperated to complete the blood drawing.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the result came out.

"Hello, please come with us. Your blood is a successful match!" The nurse smiled. She even leaned close to Xu Shu's ear and licked his ear and whispered, "Cooperate well. You are very brave. We can have a date tonight~"

Xu Shu glanced at her and said nothing more.

Dating?

Do you say this to every man who comes to you to "pay off a debt"? To trick them into letting their guard down?
Humph, you scumbag!

He wrote down the name tag on the other person's chest, then was taken into a car and blindfolded.

There were five other people in the car, who also came to have their blood tested successfully.

"It's almost done. Let's get on the road first and drive." said the staff outside.

The vehicle started up, shaking and driving at a very slow speed. After driving for several hours, it still did not reach the destination.

Xu Shu had a keen sense and he felt that the car was going in circles.

What are they doing?
Are you wasting time on purpose?

Now it's over...

Xu Shu looked at the Taichu Scroll through his blindfold, feeling helpless.

He originally wanted to talk about it when he reached his destination, but if he waited any longer, it would be nighttime.

It was obvious that these guys just wanted to delay time and carry out their secret activities at night.

There is no way, the idea of ​​saving the Taichu Volume for the critical moment has to be abandoned.

However, that may not be the case. Although you will fail if you start the journey in the safe zone, as long as you don't actively "interact" with others, there is still hope that you can try and see if they will arrive before the sun sets.

"The journey begins!" Xu Shu gave the order in his mind.

-

[Detecting current status...]

[Testing completed. 】

[Your situation is very bad. You are in the safe zone and have entered the journey mode. The Star Tower is a very sensitive bad thing. It immediately entered a high alert state.]

[You and a group of deceived people were sent to the base of the Heroes Association in a Cao Gang car.]

[“Hey, little brother, you looked very young when I got on the bus. How come you are on this road at such a young age… little brother, why do you have goose bumps all over your body?” The bus suddenly bumped, and a woman in her thirties next to you accidentally fell and crashed into your arms. ]

[Go away, Alpaca!] You cursed in your heart.

[You had physical contact with a woman, and you were discovered by the Star Tower. You were greeted by a lightning strike and insults: The pig will die first! ]

[You are gone, this journey is over...]
