Chapter 343 Gray Rat, Red Pig, Black Goat (asking for monthly ticket)
To Xu Shu, the offensiveness of this stinky fart was not that high.

But it's extremely insulting.

He subconsciously thought of the White Emperor's army that he had covered their mouths with poop when they were "flying all over the sky". (Note 1)

Good luck to you…

"cough!"

As his thoughts raced, the stench in the air was ignited and soon burned out. The smell of burning and decay mixed together, making people feel even more dizzy.

Fortunately, Xu Shu had a strong adaptability. After only two rounds, he had figured out the strength of this gray-haired rat monster. He estimated that it was in the middle to late second stage, and was similar to "Yan Xiong", the strongest of the four Yans he met in Xinglongzhuang before.

"At the late stage of the second stage, it's probably close to level 30! In terms of level alone, there's a huge gap between me and it. Fortunately, I'm a legendary Iron Armor, so it's not difficult for me to fight against opponents of higher levels!"

When he thought of this, Xu Shu's murderous intent became stronger, and the flames of "burning murderous intent" on his body grew larger, and he used the flames to push away the stinky farts around him.

The rat monster "Director Yang"'s tiny eyes were moving rapidly. He was still observing the enemy's movements and saw that there was indeed a figure on the ceiling that was forced out by the stinky fart.

Before he could feel happy about the success of his trick, he saw the man falling from mid-air, pressing on him, and hitting him hard on the left neck with a swift elbow.

Bang!
In an instant, Director Yang's head was hit so hard that a noticeable dent appeared on it. He felt dizzy and buzzing, and was in a daze for several seconds.

By the time he reacted, Xu Shu had already sat on the waist of the gray-haired mouse, and his large hands like iron clamps had pinched its neck, making it unable to move.

Boo!
Xu Shu tried to pull the mouse's face, but the skin was like glue, stretching and bouncing back.

Obviously, its face is real, not an illusion created by the power of some special supernatural being, but a real "monster".

"Is it really a monster?" Xu Shu narrowed his eyes. It was unexpected, but also reasonable.

I discovered before that human spirituality is so weak, and this is the reason.

That skin and flesh is fake, it's a 'skin suit' made from the flesh and blood of a living person!
Although they are not human, they can move around in the safe zone and are not targeted by the Star Tower...

If it were before, Xu Shu would subconsciously think that this weasel might be some high-level creature like the "Devil's Chosen One".

However, after entering the Penglai area, his horizons were broadened. He knew that this "Wanfa Penglai" had many special practitioners. Some of them used "living monsters" as their basis and refined them, and were called "living practitioners"!
For example, the snake cultivators in Xinglong Village are a type of living cultivators.

"Monsters" in this state have essentially been refined by the extraordinary beings, and will not be evaluated as individual monsters, nor will they be eliminated - in other words, the extraordinary beings are the 'hosts', and they have been refined into "living cursed tools", no longer independent living individuals, and their bodies and wills are absolutely controlled by the hosts.

To be honest, Xu Shu was quite curious about this method at first, and even did some experiments on it, that is, the clone of the "Big Black Snake Mother".

At that time, the Snake Mother's clone probably thought that this man could do that to her and even put her on his waist and brought her into the safe zone. He must be trying to transform her into a "weird servant".

As for the snake cultivators calling their snakes "snake servants" it is because they find it convenient to call them that. In fact, the real scientific name is "strange servant" and in some places it is also called "mysterious servant".

Of course, the name is just a code name, it doesn’t matter what it is called.

For example, "Iron Armor" used to have nicknames such as "Shield Mountain", "Iron Armor Little Treasure", "Human Helmet", etc. It all works in the same principle: the name is not important, as long as the meaning is conveyed.

In short, the Snake Mother thought that she couldn't beat Xu Shu anyway, so she didn't resist. She waited patiently to enter the city, ready to be his servant in a "reluctant yet willing" way in order to beg for a chance to survive. She was very obedient along the way.

The result was totally unexpected, this bastard didn't appreciate it at all - he was determined to push all the roots in, and he didn't appreciate it at all, he never planned to do this job from the beginning to the end!
When Xu Shu first entered the city that day, Yong Shu, who was suspected to be the "Director of Liuyiju", warned him that living cultivation was extremely dangerous, a side path that was against the will of heaven and earth and would erode his own destiny, and that a catastrophe could easily occur if one was not careful.

Now it seems to be true. It is easy to advance as a living cultivator and the strength increases quickly, but the resource requirements are also high. It is easy for people to be driven by desire and do things that are harmful to the world.

The "fetus" sublimation pill in Xinglongzhuang is still vivid in Xu Shu's mind. How could Xu Shu take such an evil path?
The reason why he brought the snake mother's clone into the city was to test whether the Star Tower here was reliable - once bitten, one is afraid of ropes for ten years, and he was also worried that the Star Tower here would neglect its duties and be idle.

The final result made Xu Shu very satisfied. The feedback from the Star Tower came very quickly, and it directly chopped the Snake Mother's clone into pieces.

This proved that the D9B3 area was not like his hometown, where the top leaders had long been infiltrated, causing the Star Tower to be slow to react and ultimately leading to a disaster.

Therefore, the Penglai area is very safe. There are no second-level monsters within the range of the Star Tower, and there is no monster within the boundaries of the safe zone.

Since Director Yang is a monster, this means that he must be a strange servant of the living cultivator.

"What are you doing down there? Are you also using the kids here to make sublimation pills? What's your master's name, strength, and occupation? And what's the password to the tunnel entrance? Tell me the truth and I can let you go!" Xu Shu grabbed Director Yang's neck and asked questions one after another.

Considering that he wanted the other party to speak, he tore off the spider silk on Director Yang's mouth and strangled his neck with not too much force to prevent him from being unable to speak.

Director Yang didn't know that Xu Shu had shown mercy. He just felt like a dumb being pinned down by the white human's feet and couldn't get up.

He grimaced in pain, but still gritted his teeth, stared at Xu Shu viciously and said: "Don't even think about... knowing anything about the master from me... I will never tell you! Even if you give me..."

"Hmm~ I see. I didn't expect you to be so loyal. It seems that the living practice method still has some merits." Xu Shu touched his chin and praised with a little surprise.

Director Yang's rat eyes sparkled, and he immediately said, "Foolish human, you don't know... We the Weasel tribe are loyal. We only choose one master in our lifetime and will never betray him..."

"Okay, then you die." Xu Shu said immediately.

It turned out that it was not the weasel Xiu, but the skunk Xiu. However, regardless of his stance and evil deeds, his loyalty deserves recognition, and such an enemy should not be tortured - of course, the real reason was that Xu Shu did not have any means to deal with the "non-female" enemy except killing him, and could not pry open his mouth.

Xu Shu no longer waited, his expression was serious, his attitude was earnest, he began to use force with his palms, and decided to respect his opponent and send him to his death.

Click! Click!
Director Yang suddenly felt an extremely huge force pressing in from all directions.

It felt like it was not a hand strangling my neck, but that the whole world was collapsing, pressing on my flesh and blood, and my internal organs from all directions!
——What Xu Shu showed was actually the basic talent that all extraordinary people on the "Hercules" path can obtain in the first stage: great strength.

His level is high enough, so his great strength is... also extremely strong.

"?"

Director Yang had never expected that the sense of urgency she had just felt was not the limit of the man in her body.

Under the abuse of Xu Shu's true strength, although it was just a simple action of pinching the neck, Director Yang's petite body was like a balloon filled with water being pressed by a die-casting machine.

His entire body was deformed, and strips of flocculent fat, tissue fluid, bones, and a mixture of flesh and blood tore through his skin and broke out of his body!

The intense fear of death finally occupied his tiny brain. Director Yang's eyes widened to the maximum they had ever been in his life, and he wailed, "Wait, wait a minute... I'll tell you everything!!!"

As soon as the word "代" came out, Xu Shu was stunned for a very short moment after hearing it, and quickly withdrew his hand.

In this short moment, Director Yang's flesh and blood were torn into pieces, his brains flew out, his eyeballs exploded, and not a single bone was left of his body.

It was not until the two gems, which seemed to be connected by an invisible line, fell to the ground and made a tinkling sound that Xu Shu finally "completely stopped".

But by this time Director Yang had already become completely evil.

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu scratched his hands in the air, his expression slightly embarrassed.

Damn it, this guy actually gave in so easily?

You just showed that you were determined to die and were strong-willed, and I believed you...

Now that things have come to this, there is no way to regret. This is not the [Journey], there is no medicine for regret.

Xu Shu reluctantly picked up Director Yang's erosion crystals from the ground.

They are deep blue in color, closely connected to each other and fit seamlessly, and each of them has sixteen spiral flocs inside, not one more, not one less.

Just one look at it gives people a sense of complete saturation. "Sure enough, it is level 32, and the quality is blue 'excellent', which means it is already the late stage of the second stage... It's about what I expected."

Xu Shu thoughtfully put the crystal into the small lace storage bag in his back pocket.

He casually glanced at the interface of the upgrade network and saw that this second-level blue-named "Alien" provided 9 points of kill contribution, restoring his contribution points to 183 points.

"Itachi has a late second-stage one. According to the logic that his cultivation must be higher than that of a 'cursed tool', the old principal is at least at the peak of the second stage, or even the third stage!"

"But everything depends on human effort. I may not be unable to fight him. A strong person should swing his sword against a stronger person like me!"

After using 'Yang Shen·Purification' to clean up the scene and destroy the bodies, the second-order level 40 extraordinary person, the legendary "Iron Armor" Xu Shu gritted his teeth and came to the entrance of the secret passage of the bookshelf with the justice concept of saving the world and helping people.

The enemy was very dangerous, and most people might have retreated at this time, but he did not, and quickly formulated the next combat strategy in his mind.

If it is the second level, then fight; if it is the third level, then run.

Possessing a second-level skunk, on the one hand, shows that the old principal is quite powerful, but on the other hand, it also exposes the upper limit of his strength, which is at most the early third-level, and definitely not the middle-level.

Why is Xu Shu so sure?

Because it's very simple logic.

If his cultivation level was mid-third order, then the old bastard would definitely refine early-third order monsters to serve as his slaves.

After all, each ghost servant must occupy a "spell tool grid", and a third-level cultivator can have three grids. Each grid is precious and cannot be wasted.

Of course, no matter what, the enemy this time is quite powerful.

This job will be a huge challenge for Xu Shu.

He did not underestimate his enemy or be careless at all. He fumbled around on the bookshelf for a while, touching every corner.

Not a single gap was left out, and the more sensitive books were handled repeatedly.

However, the mechanism to open the secret door was still not found.

This did not pose a problem for Xu Shu. He quickly got into position, and walked 10 steps backwards according to some mysterious pattern: three steps to the left and seven steps to the right. He then entered an "invisible" state and disappeared without a trace into the air.

wow~
With an imperceptible wave, Xu Shu used the bookshelf in front of him as a fulcrum, rotated two and a half circles, passed through the wall directly, and entered the honey passage.

There was a folding staircase that went down, more than a meter wide. The walls were lit by dim wax lamps, and the air was filled with a faint, annoying smell of oil.

Without stopping, he transformed himself into a pool of blood again, clinging to the wall and moving downwards.

It was very narrow at first, but then it became passable. After walking up four flights of stairs, a lightly closed green wooden door suddenly appeared, and an orange light could be vaguely seen at the door.

Xu Shu squeezed out through the crack in the door and found that there was a large underground studio inside.

It is over 150 square meters, divided into seven or eight rooms by rough walls, arranged in rows.

After walking around the ceiling, Xu Shu discovered that in the room above [Ka] there was a red-haired wild boar sleeping soundly, and in the room below there was a black goat eating grass quietly.

These two rooms are decorated like VIP rooms, clean and tidy.

Apart from this, all the other houses were surrounded by fences made of mud bricks and were very messy and dirty.

Some rooms were empty, while others were scattered with four or five lambs, some fat and some thin, grazing.

"Raising sheep?"

Xu Shu took a stroll and activated his spiritual perception, discovering that both the red pig and the black sheep had strong fluctuations of cursed power.

There was no doubt that these must be the old principal's other two "ghost servants". Their strength was also second level and they did not give Xu Shu a particularly dangerous feeling.

However, there are three colors, the gray-haired rat, the red-haired pig, and the black-haired sheep, and three strange servants.

The number of ghost servants is related to their strength, and one more will appear with each level increase.

This means that the old principal is not a second-level transcendent, he is a third-level master!

After discovering this, Xu Shu sneered and became even more alert.

He glanced at the other Aries, observing them carefully to see if there was anything strange about them. After all, no one would believe that a third-level master would fence off a piece of land in the basement and really raise sheep there.

These sheep looked very ordinary, and they didn't notice that the "blood" flowing next to them was special. They just chewed the grass in the trough and made low bleating sounds from time to time.

At this moment, there was a very small white sheep in the corner, only one-third the size of the other sheep. Because it was squeezed to the edge of the stone trough and could not eat grass, it noticed the flowing Xu Shu in a daze.

There were some sugar stains on its face that came from nowhere, and there were some black spots mixed in the white hair on its head. It stared at Xu Shu who swam next to it, and its eyes began to become serious.

After staring for a few seconds, it bleated and made a strange sound: "Bah~hiss...mm...hiss..."

"Eh? This can't be a two-legged sheep, right? The art of cutting and dissecting a living thing? The art of creating animals?"

Xu Shu's knowledge was not profound but very broad, so he paused, changed back to his original form, and looked at the lamb with some suspicion.

The lamb also looked at him, its mouth opened, its tongue moving in and out, and the skin on its neck moving, as if it was trying to respond.

The man and the sheep looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Xu Shu thought about it, stretched out his hand, pushed away a big fat sheep next to him, snatched a handful of good grass from its mouth, and fed it to the lamb.

"Puh...Puh..." The lamb spat out the grass and continued to stare at Xu Shu, gasping with his mouth open, "Hmm...Hmm...Shrimp..."

She tried several times and finally adjusted her voice, making a weak sound: "Little, um, shrimp, gl, gl..."

"?"

Xu Shu's pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly, and finally he reached out and touched its head.

This time I understood. What she said should be "Little Hero Brother".

This is Xiaoya!

The lamb rubbed its head obediently on Xu Shu's hand, then she looked frightened and shrank behind Xu Shu.

Xu Shu's gaze immediately turned to the old principal who was walking out from a distance. He was tall and straight, not hunched at all, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up in a dangerous arc.

Although it was not like him to say harsh words before a war, Xu Shu thought about it for a while and felt that he had to say it out loud, so he finally couldn't help but say a classic harsh word with only one word.

The old principal also spoke. He was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. He took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He held a scripture in his left hand, flipping pages, and pointed his right hand straight at Xu Shu. He said a short phrase of nine words.

This is already small enough, only half more than Xu Shu.

But he spoke fast, so the two voices eventually rang out in this underground dark room without any particular order. One was full of vigor and murderous intent, while the other was full of contempt and resentment. They collided and exploded with extremely violent sparks.

"You're dead!"

"I come! I see! I redeem!"
