Chapter 362 Demon Tomb and Conspiracy (asking for monthly ticket)

Xu Shu was quite surprised that he failed to save the last three researchers, but he was not sorry.

There was no way. The scenes that had just happened always gave him a feeling that the people in this laboratory had brought it upon themselves.

Especially when they were interrogating the sperm-eating ghost, the information they mentioned such as the "master of the demon's tomb" made people subconsciously guess that this group of people must have accidentally discovered a secret and wanted to take advantage of it, but ultimately suffered the consequences due to their lack of strength.

"What a pity! If only I still had the 'Eye of Detection', everything would be clear with a single check. I wouldn't have to use my brain to guess at all!"

"But now it seems that relying on these researchers' interrogation is useless. They will only lead to the loss of clues..."

"No, maybe the guard here knows something."

"Haha, they actually secretly studied these things without telling the director. Could it be that the origin of this sperm-eating ghost or the unexpected advancement of the tree demon are inseparable from the so-called 'Demon Tomb'?"

"It seems that there is something strange and a great opportunity hidden here. They, the weaklings, cannot grasp the treasure, so they are eventually swallowed by the monster~"

Xu Shu touched his chin and looked at the wreckage on the ground thoughtfully.

After the death of the sperm-eating ghost, two purple crystals condensed on the ground. They were connected to each other, forming a crystal with spirals and spells coexisting - this is the curse crystal.

"Hey, flawless curse crystal, this is actually on the same level as the God's Chosen level output? However, this potato girl is just an ordinary 'sperm-eating ghost', not the God's Chosen?
“Well, in comparison, although they are both flawless monsters, the God’s Chosen is obviously more powerful?
"Not necessarily. Perhaps it's because of their different pathways. Tzeentch's Chosen are considered 'Soul Eaters'. They have a special ability of cell invasion, which allows them to parasitize the human body. They are cunning and changeable. "

"And the sperm-eating ghosts belong to the Slaanesh faction. Although they are not strong in direct combat, they are very good at hiding. For example, even I was tricked by this little sister just now, and she used her terrifying 'seed-stealing' skill to exchange one for one!"

While making a comparison in his mind, Xu Shu picked up the crystal of Potato Sister from the ground.

Among them, the first-order curse crystal is at the maximum level 18.

However, in the second-order curse crystal, there are only 15 flocculent spirals, which is not perfect.

This means that the sperm-eating ghost in front of him has not yet reached the maximum level and is a level 33 monster.

But even so, her strength is still much higher than that of the "second stage late stage 32" tree demon.

Although there is only one level more, the quality is different.

Compared with the blue seal, the purple seal has more than just a simple difference in the upper limit of the seal level being 18 versus 16.

The biggest difference is that the initial talent ability of the purple seal is "2".

The blue seal is actually the same as the green quality seal. The initial talent ability is 1, but the level cap is 16, so it has one more breakthrough skill than the green seal.

To put it in a more vivid way, the green seal is a "1+1" combination, that is, a talent ability + a breakthrough skill.

The blue curse is a combination of "1+2", one talent + two breakthrough skills.

When it comes to the purple curse, it is a "2+2" combination, double talents and double breakthroughs, which is a huge improvement.

Therefore, the 'Flawless Curse' is also an important watershed that distinguishes potential in the current extraordinary world.

Given that all extraordinary people can be called "geniuses", green is a "mid-level" genius, blue is a "high-level" genius, and purple is a "top-level" genius.

Epic curse, "2+3" five-skill configuration, no doubt - "super"! Genius!

Going a step further, the “3+3” six-skill legendary seal is more than just a genius.

At least on the surface, although super geniuses are rare in the entire human alliance, there are still traces to be found. For example, the rewards for conquering large ruins can stably produce at least one epic curse.

But legends are just legends. They have only ever existed in word of mouth and private speculation. They have never actually appeared in reality, and no one has ever heard of any channel to obtain a curse of this level.

It is said that among the powerful beings ranked in the Heavenly Ranking, those first-tier powerful humans in the fifth realm, some may possess the legendary curse, but this cannot be verified and thus cannot be confirmed.

There is no way around it. For the current human supernatural realm, anything above the fourth level is considered a very high level of secrecy, not to mention higher levels.

Even if it really exists, who would easily reveal their secrets?

That is bound to bring about fatal disaster!
[“As for me, I am really awesome. I am a legendary and epic double-attribute curser, a terrifying master of eleven skills, unprecedented and unrivaled, hahahaha!”]

[With a long sigh, the invincible you is once again conquered by your own strength. ]

[Think more about how you died last time—the invincible and lustful King of Conquerors, the legendary shame of a third-order being defeated by a second-order! ]

[“Heh, if you walk along the river, you’ll get your feet wet. It’s just a little bit of wind and frost!” You didn’t feel ashamed at all, and instead lightly tapped the spoils, quickly converting them into equivalent contribution points in your mind.]

[In this battle, you gained one first- and second-order blue crystal, and one first- and second-order purple spell crystal.]

[These are all high-quality goods that are in great demand. If converted into contribution points, plus the defeat rewards for killing them, this time there will be a stable income of nearly a thousand points! ]

[“Okay, okay, it’s really the gold belt for murder and arson… Uh, I’m beginning to doubt the true purpose of the members of the Resurrection Society!”]

[You suppressed the dark desire in your heart to join the Inactivation Society to hunt down living cultivators, and instead left the laboratory, passing through the running crowd, and returned to the entrance of the lumber mill, where you met Cao Yang who was still waiting there.]

[He looked ready to die, as if he had just made up his mind. He was about to enter the laboratory to fight alongside his companions when he saw you coming back.]

[It’s interesting to say that from the time you entered the lab and started killing everyone to the time you returned here, it’s a long story, but in fact, only a few minutes passed this time.]

[“Brother Xu?” Cao Yang looked at you and asked.]

[“Brother, I’ve thought about it carefully, and I think the safest way now is to report to the town master.” You said calmly.]

[“Ah? But didn’t you just say that the strong will wield their swords against the stronger? Didn’t you say that if you can’t save the civilians, then you don’t have to be extraordinary?” Cao Yang looked at you blankly. ]

[You said as a matter of course: "No, I think you are right, brother. There is no point in dying. Keeping a useful body to report the news is what we weak people should do! Come with me to find the town guard!"] ["Ah? This... this, I... but..." Cao Yang's face was pale. In just a few minutes, he experienced the ups and downs of life. The passion that was just aroused by your words was met with cold water.]

[What an unlucky child, you played him in your hands. ]

[Finally, he was convinced by you, and you quickly rushed to the west side of Yinli Town.]

[You found the local town guard Shi Haitao in an obsidian mine, playing the Landlord game with three sexy and hot women with slim figures, delicate faces and no clothes.]

[The three women must have played very bad cards. They refused to take the cards and just said "No, no" and other rejection words.]

[“Shi Zhenshou, something has happened, something has happened!” After discovering that the reason why Zhenshou had not come to support him was because he was releasing his passion here, Cao Yang’s expression was slightly distorted and collapsed. The ideal building in his heart completely collapsed. He had no idea what he should insist on and what he should give up.]

[“What happened?” Shi Haitao asked calmly, dressed neatly and with an unhappy expression.]

[Cao Yang was about to speak, but at this moment you stood up and slapped Shi Haitao to his knees: "What are you asking? You're exposed! Your director entrusted me to help him investigate. Haha, Shi Haitao, you did a good job. You found clues about the Demon Tomb, but you deceived your superiors and concealed them from your subordinates. You didn't report it. Do you know your crime?"]

[With this sudden change, you burst out with a powerful aura and immediately gained the upper hand. ]

[Cao Yang was shocked at how quickly the identity of this stranger of the same level changed, and beads of sweat were already rolling down Shi Haitao's forehead.]

[After your secret was exposed, he was extremely anxious and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "My Lord, please understand, how dare I take this treasure for myself? It's just that the clues were lost, and the corpse in the demon tomb disappeared strangely. I wanted to retrieve it and present it to the director, and I have no ulterior motives!"]

[“No need to say more, take me there, I will personally check, if you are hiding anything, I will kill you without mercy!” You said in a pretentious manner. ]

[“Yes, sir, please follow me!” The garrison commander Shi Haitao hesitated for a moment and looked at the watch on his hand, but in the end he did not choose to ask the director to verify your identity.]

[Oh, it seems that he is a smart man. He knows that this matter must not be verified. If he confirms it, he will offend you; if he proves that you are actually an imposter, his life will be in danger. ]

[After all, your third-level strength is here. When walking in this world, your status is not given by others, but by your strength! ]

[Under the guidance of the local guards, you quickly headed north, leaving Cao Yang alone in the mine with his eyes blank and completely broken.]

[After walking about ten kilometers, Shi Haitao turned east and left the border. After walking another five kilometers, he saw a small reef island that suddenly appeared in front of him. Inside the island was a cave entrance that was well covered.]

[You let Shi Haitao walk in front. He pushed aside the curtain and entered the cave. It was very narrow at first, but it was only wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became clear. In front of him was a huge stone formation of dozens of meters square, like an underground castle made up of tombstones.]

[“Sir, this is where the Demon Tomb is!” Shi Haitao said to you humbly.]

[“Yeah.” You nodded, and silently took a step forward to observe, and found that the tombstones here had been dug up, like abalones that had been killed, exposed there, and in the middle of the alley was buried a stone coffin that had been pried open.]

[“Demon Tomb…Where are the original demon corpses?” You asked speculatingly.]

[Shi Haitao said: "My Lord, when I and others found this ancient tomb, we immediately excavated it on the spot. We were attacked by the corpses of small demons hiding in coffins. After a fierce battle and losing several lives, we finally cleaned it up. We learned that this demon tomb belonged to a high-ranking demon commander named 'Felicity'! The corpse he left behind was originally in the large coffin in the front!"]

[“The Demon Commander… is a third-level demon…” You have a better idea in your mind.]

[As Shi Haitao spoke, he walked to the front. This was a coffin that was over four meters long. It had also been opened and was completely empty.]

[“What happened next? Where did the body go?” You glanced at Shi Haitao and asked him to continue.]

Shi Haitao did not dare to neglect and continued, "We originally wanted to take out the corpse of this demon, but something unexpected happened. Sir, please look at the mural over here! The monsters depicted here are the demons that attacked us at that time. For example, this is the little demon hiding in the coffin over there!"

[Shi Haitao began to walk around the catacombs, pointing as he walked, pointing at the monsters on the murals and corresponding to the coffins one by one, and introducing them along the way. He walked to a demon statue with a black heart-shaped tail and wings on its back, and said in a slow tone:
[“As a result, a powerful demon suddenly attacked us and caught us off guard. Later…”]

[As you listened to Shi Haitao's endless chatter, you frowned and noticed that the stone walls on both sides were quite smooth, which seemed to be caused by years of contamination by sea water.]

[“Seawater contamination?” You suddenly felt confused. You urged Shi Haitao to ask him “What happened later?” You were a little surprised because according to your thinking, waterproofing is a must for an underground tomb. Otherwise, the cave would be damaged by the salty seawater. Wouldn’t the cave rot and stink?]

[Obviously, you are smart enough to find that there is a big problem here. ]

[However, at this moment, Shi Haitao suddenly revealed a ferocious expression. He roared and continued, "Hahahaha, here comes you, a guy who's looking for death. Bury you here with the monsters, idiot!!"]

[He gave you a sarcastic grin, grabbed the heart-shaped tail of the statue that looked like a Slaanesh demon, twisted it hard, and opened a narrow passage.]

[Shi Haitao did not hesitate at all, and with extremely swift movements, he escaped from the passage opened in the wall. The passage immediately closed with a click, fitting tightly!]

[You hurriedly catch up and pull the statue's tail, but find that the door does not open. It seems that it can only be opened once in a short period of time. You are trapped inside the tomb! ]

[At this time, the entire underground tomb began to shake, and you felt a strong sense of weightlessness, just like when you were riding an elevator and the elevator suddenly fell a distance, and then the surrounding seawater rushed in instantly.]

[Oops! You got fooled! ]

[You immediately understood where the traces of seawater on the wall came from. It turns out there is a trap underground. Shi Haitao designed it to trap you here and drown you alive!]

[Under this reef island is the Dead Sea water. Although it is not corrosive and not poisonous, it is impossible for a feather to float in the Dead Sea unless you are a "ferryman". If you are trapped here, you cannot escape even if you have wings, and your life or death is uncertain.]

[As the seawater floods in, you are about to die, and today's journey will also end...]

【etc! 】

[At this critical moment, you took a step forward, and your figure instantly became ethereal. At an unimaginable speed, you spun around the tightly closed secret passage door that could not be opened in the short term as a fulcrum for two and a half weeks. When you stopped again, you had already appeared on the other side of the door, in the passage leading directly to the outside world.]

[The catacombs can't hold you down! ]

[You penetrated the extremely thick stone wall directly! ]

[You used the breakthrough skill - "Wear Nine and Step One"! ]
