The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 366: Quit while you are ahead, and become famous (ask for monthly votes)
[Evaluation: You are a hunter with patience but not much. You killed hundreds of enemies and searched for the mysterious woman for a whole day, but one hour before she arrived, you chose to leave without looking back and missed her.]

[You are a master of seeking death. Your footprints are all over the country. You have peeked into a hidden corner and finally sank to the bottom of the sea.]

[Very good, you are a true warrior who dares to accept a life of stagnation.]

[You get the item: Seeking Death and Life (Excellent)]

[You failed to trigger the heaven-defying evaluation this time, but your courage to take the initiative to challenge the unknown fear is admirable. Although you did it on purpose, I barely raised your reward to a higher level. Don't do this next time! ]

Seeking Death and Life (Excellent)》Seeking Death and Life (Flawless)

[Searching for Life and Death (Flawless): This is a seemingly ordinary compass. Most of the time, it will not point in the direction, and even if it does, it will not be true. However, when you are in a deadly predicament, with one step forward leading to hell and one step back leading to dusk, you can use your thumb to press its top needle, which will trigger the one-time ability "The End of the Road, the Top", and turn it into a pointer to forcibly open up a way to the top of your head! ]

[When the road is at an end and you see the top: Go crazy at the moment of life and death, see the sky in the abyss; see everything in nothing, create hope in despair! ] (Note 1)

[Note: If you run upwards along the top pin, you will reach the highest point of your coordinates, making it easier for you to escape.]

[But remember, using a needle to pave a way out is a long and difficult road. A way out is just a way out. Whether you can escape in the end depends on your own efforts. In short, after you set foot on the way out, you have two possibilities - either escape or take out your birth certificate. ]

【Twist the thimble and create the future! 】

[Number of times opened today: 0/3! ]

……

Whoops!

The suffocating gazes around me faded away, and the fear of the deep sea submerged by water also went away.

The journey is over.

Xu Shu fell from the 'future' and returned to the present time, the entrance to the underground laboratory at eight in the morning, surrounded by people screaming and running for their lives.

After returning to the original coordinates three times in a row, Xu Shu was completely accustomed to the scene around him and was not surprised at all.

However, this time the reward was upgraded to a higher level, which gave him a pleasant surprise.

"It seems that my guess was correct. Whether it is the Journey Mode or the Legend Mode, as long as I come into contact with some truly secret things, there is a certain probability that the final reward evaluation will be improved."

"Hehe, Taichujuan said no, but his body is still very honest~"

“But this time, the item ‘Searching for Life and Death’ looks pretty good. Apart from anything else, just the description alone is enough to prove its value!
"In terms of function, it ranks among the best of the many items I have obtained. I wonder if there is a chance to save more. Will it be useful to jump into the sea repeatedly?"

After a brief thought, Xu Shu gave up the idea because it was obviously unrealistic.

Judging from past experience, relatively special props like this are only obtained by chance, are highly random, and have very demanding conditions for completion.

If you deliberately seek death, I'm afraid it won't work.

It was as if he had thought about spawning more [Desperate Couple] before, and he had crashed into the safe zone wall many times while driving the Zhengtu.

But the final result was obviously not in line with expectations, and the prop obtained was Qing Yishui's [Self-Severing Meridians].

If you count it this way, if you jump into the sea to commit suicide, you will most likely get [Self-severing Meridians], right? After all, it is essentially a suicidal act.

And judging from what happened just now, jumping into the sea to commit suicide is worse than crashing into the wall...

Xu Shu shook his head, quickly put aside the thoughts that kept popping up in his mind, and faced the bloody reality again.

Based on the intelligence gained from the three expeditions, there is no doubt that all the secrets that can be obtained have been obtained from the people currently known.

The only thing left is the mysterious woman who will appear in Yangshe Village at six o'clock in the evening.

But Xu Shu had already made up his mind not to contact this person, because if the two sides met, it would most likely be a life-and-death battle that would result in casualties. Without knowing the other party's strength, there was no need to take the risk.

It's okay for a normal level 3 mid-term, I can give it a try now, but who knows if I'll be unlucky and encounter a level 3 peak? That would be really fun.

As for the local garrison commander Shi Haitao being too tight-lipped, perhaps he really does hold some secrets?
Xu Shu no longer cared.

As for the secrets that you don’t know, then just don’t know them.

You want to understand this, you want to understand that, but in the end you understand nothing; you want insurance for this, you want insurance for that, so you might as well not do anything.

If I have to emphasize it again, greed will blind you and heroes will die because of their stubbornness!
Therefore, Xu Shu’s final choice is already very obvious.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Anyway, there is more than 10 million to be earned, so I might as well stop while I'm ahead. Today's trip is not in vain!

He gathered his emotions, went down quickly, and soon arrived at the familiar underground laboratory.

"Who? Who's there!" The tree demon became alert, and others, such as Sister Potato and the three researchers who were forced into a desperate situation, all looked over at the same time.

However, Xu Shu had no interest in this green-haired tree spirit at all, and there was no need to waste the prop "Love of the Tree Spirit".

Because, although it was his first time here in reality, in his memory it was his "fourth time" and he knew the situation here and the strength of the enemy very well.

He could even count clearly how many tentacles the tree demon had and how many whiskers there were on Potato Sister's taro.

"There's no time to explain. What appears before you now is my strongest form - Hindsight!"

Xu Shu roared and jumped up suddenly. His unparalleled strength swept up gusts of wind and killed the tree demon with a single elbow on the head, leaving it without even a chance to say its last words.

"Brother Huaishu!" Yang Yu showed a look of horror upon seeing this, and then looked at Xu Shu with soft and delicate eyes, trying to arouse his inner pity and desire for beauty.

What greeted her was a series of powerful shoulder strikes - Gonggong hits the mountain!
boom! boom! boom!
Three consecutive collisions of iron mountains caused the earth to shake, the ceiling to shatter, and dust to fall.

Sweet Potato Girl failed to survive this cross-level battle between the second level and the third level, and was directly smashed into taro paste by Xu Shu.

In an instant, the two monsters that were like demons from hell and had killed countless people were killed instantly, leaving behind only two crystals, two curse crystals, a locust tree root, and a black, slippery tail with a heart-shaped spike on the top.

The three researchers who had escaped death widened their eyes. "Senior He Fang? Was it... was it sent by the Director General to rescue us?"

The powerful strength of the reinforcements and their contempt for Director Wang made them quickly realize that this person was definitely not sent by the garrison, but a master of a higher level. It is very likely that he was sent by the director himself!
"We're saved!" "Thank you, sir!" "Sir, these were all things that Shi Zhenshou asked us to do. We knew nothing about it!"

While the researchers expressed their gratitude with great joy, they also quickly cut ties with their original superiors to avoid being held accountable for "knowing about the incident but not reporting it."

"Stop talking nonsense, you are helping the tyrant, you will die too!"

Xu Shu sneered and waved his hand casually. The broken limbs of the locust tree were driven by the wind from his palm and flew out. They were like sharp arrows, piercing through the bodies of the three people and turning them into a hornet's nest.

The world is quiet.

Xu Shu gathered the harvest from the ground and put it into his pocket leisurely.

His expression was extremely indifferent, as if what he had just killed were not two powerful second-level monsters and three first-level transcendents, but just a group of chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.

After doing all this, Xu Shu returned to the ground.

At this time, there was still chaos outside, and no one knew that the terrifying "second-level demon" underground had become an upgrade material.

Previously, Cao Yang, who was inspired by Xu Shu's words "the strong will swing their swords against the stronger ones", was also among them.

His steps were heavy. He had just overcome his inner fear and was about to fight to the death with an impossible-to-defeat enemy.

Xu Shu saw this person from afar and hesitated slightly.

"From what Yang Yu said, it seems that this guy still has some conscience. Although he participated in the experiment, he did not torture mortals. His crime does not deserve death."

"But I didn't expect this place to stink so badly. I told him my real name, which is a problem. If he's alive, there's no guarantee he wouldn't leak the news that I was here. We have to keep him quiet!"

As we all know, only the mouths of the dead are the tightest and cannot speak.

Xu Shu touched his chin and immediately came up with an idea.

He messed up the blood stains on his body, making himself look disheveled, then seized the opportunity and pounced on Cao Yang.

Pfft!
Cao Yang was still moving forward with gritted teeth, when he suddenly looked up and saw his savior Xu Xushu running out covered in blood.

The other person staggered, was seriously injured, and soon fell down, lying right in front of him.

"Brother Xu!?"

Cao Yang was startled and hurried over. He grabbed Xu Shu's arm and shook it hard, saying, "Brother Xu! What happened to you?"

Xu Shu foamed at the mouth, twitched continuously, his eyes were wild, he pulled Cao Yang's collar, and said incoherently:
"You're crazy... You're crazy... You actually used human bodies to conduct devil experiments... You're such beasts! Oh, they're coming for revenge, everything's over! I regret helping you... Go away... Go away, they're coming to kill us~ Hey hey hey~"

"Ah?" Cao Yang was stunned at first, and then he shouted hurriedly, "Brother Xu, hold on! I will go find the town guard to save you right away, you have to hold on!"

Before Cao Yang could finish his words, Xu Shu in front of him suddenly vomited blood and broke into pieces with a bang!
His entire body exploded, and blood from the researchers covered Cao Yang's face.

"!!!" Cao Yang stared with his eyes wide open like a wooden man. He wiped the blood off his face and stretched out his hand to try to grab Xu Shu's body, but found that there was no trace of his body left.

"…How could this happen? How could this happen!" "It was me. Did we kill Brother Xu? Ahhhh!!!"

Cao Yang felt as if struck by lightning. He collapsed to the ground, pounding the ground and crying. He felt 100% or even 90% regret for the sudden death of his savior.

And at this moment.

At Cao Yang's feet.

A "liquid stream" of blood had quietly escaped from the scene without anyone noticing.

He walked through the mountains and forests, condensed into a human form one kilometer away, and brushed off the dust on his body with a relaxed attitude.

This is the special feature of "Yangshen·Xueqiongcang". After turning into blood, it can expel the blood that does not belong to one's own body and has a certain cleansing function.

As for the reason for pretending to be killed just now, it was naturally to "shut up".

Judging from the other party's reaction just now, Xu Shu felt that it was not in vain to save this man. It is inevitable for young people to make mistakes. It is not too late to mend the situation. Just don't create trouble for yourself.

And now, in Cao Yang's eyes, "Xu Shu died in the underground laboratory and then died in front of him" is the truth that is set in stone.

Next, no matter what happens here, it has nothing to do with Xu Shu, who is already dead.

In fact, when the local director came and asked the survivors about the situation, he found out that one of the dead people was from another place named Xu Shu, which was actually a good thing.

What does a sacrificed first-level Xu Shu have to do with my powerful third-level Xu Shu?
I can't even suspect myself!

"This is called killing two birds with one stone!" Xu Shu smiled proudly.

He immediately went to the mine in the north, where he was familiar with the place and found Shi Haitao's game of Landlord.

This time, he did not try to get words out of this guy. He just swung his powerful iron fist and smashed it down. The town guard and the three maids were beaten into meat patties on the spot. Then a bloody mouth opened in the void and swallowed them.

The four people disappeared without a trace and became legends, with only a few white spots proving that there seemed to be traces of their existence here.

Although the process was accelerated, Xu Shu maintained a steady control over the overall situation and continued to follow the established pace of the journey to avoid unnecessary complications.

After killing the guard Shi Haitao, he once again came to Yangshe Village, this mountain village that had become a cult den, and started killing without saying a word.

Under the crushing power of Xu Shu, the guards collapsed and regretted their actions. Many of them knelt down and begged for mercy, claiming that they were only ordered by the garrison commander.

However, no matter how miserably they cried, no matter how sincerely they begged for mercy, Xu Shu did not let them go.

His raised fist was so cool, and he was so determined when reaping lives!
In Xu Shu's opinion, there is no innocent person here, and everyone is guilty of killing innocent people.

Although the Slaanesh Cult was the instigator of everything, they were the ones who used the evil magic of the esoteric sect to lure and guard, and they were also the first to use the corpses of demon tombs to infect children and create special demon people, such as Potato Sister, which is an unforgivable crime.

But who among the remaining people here is innocent? They are also tempted to participate in the evil sacrifice.

What ultimately caused the Yangshe Village tragedy was actually human greed.

Otherwise, when Yang Yu mentioned that one day all the members of the Slaanesh Cult would go crazy and commit suicide, these people should have left immediately; if only one person had a conscience and reported it to the higher-ups, the matter would have been discovered long ago.

But instead of stopping this evil, they intensified it. When the population of the village was depleted, they went to the town to traffic women and children to continue their evil experiments.

The cultists are certainly hateful, but these living cultivators who will do anything to become stronger also deserve to die a thousand times.

"I now understand why the inactivation committee is so extreme, haha."

"And I am just a person passing by occasionally, but since I have seen you, you must die!"

Xu Shu acted in the name of justice and killed all the guards, leaving no one behind.

After killing people, open the "Narrow Sleeve Guanyin" figurine, use the power of Yin God and Yang God, and devour everything.

With this thorough method of destroying the body and covering up all traces, even if a master who is good at "spiritual communication" comes, he will not be able to obtain any useful information.

Because there is no longer any ghost in this place, it is a true destruction of both body and soul!

……

"The river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are the Big Dipper, when you see injustice, you should shout, when it is time to take action, you should take action, rushing through the nine provinces~"

On December 12th of the eighteenth year of the new calendar, at noon, the sun was shining brightly, the temperature was pleasant, and the chirping of birds and insects from the mountains made people feel relaxed.

Xu Shu hummed a powerful tune as he walked along the winding road. The sound of his singing drifted from the Yang Family Ancestral Hall on the mountainside all the way to the village gate.

Behind him was a deserted den of thieves, without even a drop of blood left, and no one was left alive.

Xu Shu also did not let go of those unlucky children who were contaminated and turned into demons.

These people have become monsters, and it is irreversible. If we are too soft-hearted to let them go, it would be tantamount to giving the remaining population of Yinli Town to them as food.

Of course Xu Shu would not do such an unwise thing. He would choose to send them to the west, so as to give justice to the victims.

Passing by a stone tablet with three blood-red characters "Yangshe Village" written on it, Xu Shu stopped for a moment.

It would be a shame not to leave any words on such a nice stone tablet.

He immediately used his fingers as a writing brush and wrote lines of large characters on the stone tablet:

"What is wasteland defense? To keep the area safe!"

"As a garrison commander, you raise evil spirits to eat people, bully the common people, kill people for cultivation, harm others and yourself, and you deserve death."

"Today, the blood of the perpetrators comforts the souls of the innocent in heaven!"

After finishing writing, Xu Shu looked at it for a moment, left and right, and felt that something was missing.

After thinking for a moment, he added quite seriously: "The murderer is Yu Mingluan!"

"That's not bad."

Although it is a pity that I cannot leave my real name, it is also a merit to leave the name of the archbishop.

Xu Shu clapped his hands, turned around and ran without waiting.

I have done enough today, and it is time to go back and continue my practice, and by the way, exchange the newly acquired materials for resources.

However, Xu Shu did not return directly, but continued to run south along the border line.

After following the original route and arriving at the "border city" Jimo Island, we had a delicious meal there to reward ourselves.

Then he chose to take the train back to the safe zone.

In fact, it would be faster to run back, but Xu Shu was not seeking speed now, but comfort. He simply stretched his legs and took a nap comfortably on the train.

As we all know, the train is absolutely safe. No one dares to attack anyone on the train, and no one dares to cause trouble on the train.

It can be said that apart from the slightly slow speed, these trains in the Penglai Wasteland have no disadvantages.

In fact, although the train stops occasionally along the way, the entire journey of about 200 kilometers takes more than two hours, but it is not particularly slow.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Shu stretched and arrived at the terminal.

He followed the crowd through security check and was not in a hurry to go to the Star Tower. Instead, he found a reliable, quiet and convenient hotel nearby in the downtown area and went into the bathroom.

I had a good rest along the way and my mental state is good. It is a good time to practice.

Without saying a word, Xu Shu started doing sit-ups every day, exchanging his blood and sweat for improvement in strength.

Two crystals are produced every day, and the number does not increase or decrease, and it cannot be changed.

There is no such thing as time during cultivation; time passes in a flash.

……

The night falls and the lights come on.

Higher than the city walls, on an island suspended in the air, the daily nightlife begins under the soft moonlight.

For example, at the gathering of Dielianhuasi tonight, there is also wine flowing in the water, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Just as everyone was toasting and sharing their cultivation experiences, a beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly rushed in from outside, crying loudly, interrupting the gentle waist dance.

"Sister Dielianhua, my people in Yinli Village were all well and good, but they were suddenly wiped out! Yu Mingluan from the Resurrection Society is too much! Sister, you have to stand up for me~ wuwuwu~"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent!
