The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 371: Counterattack against Demigod (asking for monthly ticket)

"No, are you kidding me?"

"I'm fighting a demigod? Is that true?"

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched, and he secretly said, "My life is over."

This time it wasn't carelessness, but I really didn't expect it.

In today's first journey simulation, he was more than 50 kilometers away from the border before he met the Withered Flower Doll in front of him. He was grabbed by her and died in great harmony of life. It was around noon.

Xu Shu originally thought that this was an accidental encounter, so he was extremely careful this time. He chose to stay within a range of more than 30 kilometers and did not dare to go beyond the line.

After hunting a circle of monsters, Mao quickly chose to return. He was not greedy at all and tried to go to the territory of more powerful monsters farther away.

This is already cautious enough. You have to know that after so many years of pioneering and exploring the wilderness, humans have actually figured out an unwritten set of "depth levels".

By counting and dividing the strength of monsters in different areas according to the distance from the border, the danger level of the wasteland in different areas can be determined.
Generally speaking, in the wasteland within a dozen kilometers from the border of the Star Tower, there are basically only level 1 monsters taking root here, and monsters above level are not easily seen.

It’s not to say that there are absolutely no such monsters. There are definitely some Tier 2 monsters with dull perception that wander around nearby, but their numbers are quite rare, and they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

It can be said that unless you are extremely unlucky, you will have no chance of seeing a second-level monster.

The "first-level newbie pioneer team" of Hong Yan, Lan Xin and others that Xu Shu joined originally designated an area of ​​about ten kilometers as the hunting area and advanced cautiously for this reason.

Only when you leave the border line for more than 20 kilometers will you have a chance of encountering a second-level monster.

Even this depends on the wealth of the area.

Because the monsters' society is similar to human society, there are "rich areas" where masters gather, and there are "remote mountainous areas" where there are few people.

For example, Xu Shu believes that the area he is exploring today belongs to a "remote mountainous area" in the wilderness.

After running for more than fifty kilometers, we encountered two second-level monsters. The land was quite barren.

As for monsters above level three, they can usually only be encountered fifty kilometers away.

For example, the 'Yin King' and 'Corpse King (Flying Zombie)' among evil spirits, the "Commander-in-Chief" among demons, the "Tribal Leader" among alien species, etc., are not so easy to encounter.

As for the next level, those demigod-level monsters whose strength has reached the fourth level and who already possess extremely high intelligence, this is even more true.

They will not easily approach within a hundred kilometers of the border.

The higher the level of the monster, the further away it will stay from the Star Tower border.

The reason is simple. Strong people have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. The higher the level of existence, the higher the wisdom, and the easier it is to feel the deterrence from the Star Tower.

It’s just like when humans encounter a place with the aura of evil gods, they will feel scared.

The aura of the "array" is also an indescribable and unlooked-at-directly "horrible evil god" for monsters!
Monsters will instinctively want to stay away from the Star Tower.

The closer your feet are to the Star Tower, the further your life is from it.

But because of their greed for human flesh and blood, they try to get closer and are unwilling to leave completely.

As time went by, the wasteland gradually formed the current distribution pattern with clear layers and orderly levels.

It is possible to tell what levels of monsters are distributed within a certain distance range.

Of course, “don’t get close easily” does not mean never get close. There are exceptions to everything.

For example, if a group of third-order pioneers strictly abide by the unspoken rule of "no fourth-order within a hundred kilometers" and operate within this range, will they not be attacked by fourth-order monsters?
of course not.

It should be noted that when humans leave the border to hunt monsters, the monsters are also waiting for delicious human blood to be delivered to their doorsteps. The identities of hunters and prey are always being exchanged.

When a demigod-level monster discovers the appearance of a high-quality human, it is not impossible to violate the "hundred-kilometer" rule for the sake of a bite of food.

After all, this only requires taking a little risk, and you don't have to stay in it for a long time.

For human pioneers, if they want to get higher rewards, they have to take greater risks.

In fact, before this, Xu Shu had encountered monsters of level four or above three times in the wasteland.

But they all have their own special cases.

A "Plastic Monster" is one that has just broken through from level 1 to level . In other words, it is one that has just been upgraded and has not had time to get back on track. (Note )

One was between the alien species 'Cancer Duke Rakane' and the demon 'Famine Lord'. The former came to lay eggs very close to the border to avoid being eaten by monsters of the same level, while the latter secretly followed and ate the eggs laid by the other. (Note 2)

Another time, he encountered a fifth-level alien king, Aphelios, the Fearful Corruptor. He was seriously injured and had gone to a cave near the border to hide and heal. (Note 3)

From this we can see that even the monsters themselves know that the closer they are to the border of the Star Tower, the harder it will be to encounter high-level monsters.

So, is there something wrong with this 'withered flower doll'?

She was neither injured and in need of treatment, nor did she look like she was about to give birth, nor was she a "young demigod" who had just been promoted.

She is in perfect condition, powerful, psychopathic, and has a beautiful figure.

Why didn't she go squat a hundred kilometers away? Why did she run so close?
Xu Shu thought about it, if he was targeted by this 'withered flower puppet' when he was in the place of the 'Silver Ringed Mating Snake', doesn't that mean it is hiding less than 20 kilometers away from the border?
In other words, she had spotted me less than half an hour after I went out, and had been following me sinisterly from behind.

Oh shit!

A dignified fourth-level being, the 'Marquis' among alien species, is actually a pervert who likes to play the role of a pervert and stalker?
Damn it, it really is!

In his heart, Xu Shu severely rebuked this demigod puppet for its lack of martial ethics.

However, things have come to this point and he can't think about it any more.

Life is fleeting!
Looking at the monster 'Broken Flower Doll' with a delicate face and a red light on its belly button, he took a deep breath, clenched his fists suddenly, and a strong murderous intent burned in his body!
[“Tsk tsk, such a strong will, such a powerful body! I didn’t expect to encounter such a great tonic today. I will definitely take good care of you~” The withered flower doll licked her lips, staring at every jumping and thriving muscle on your body with love, clamping her legs together, and her yandere love was overflowing. ]

[And you sneered and let out a long howl! ]

[Huh? Facing a desperate situation, you are not afraid of the strong enemy, but instead burst out with a resolute fighting spirit and are ready to fight? ]

[As expected of the master of the Taichu Volume, you are a true warrior, daring to face the blooming and dripping withered flowers, daring to challenge the powerful bloody demigod, the strong wields the sword against the stronger! ]

[Quack, will you win? ]

[This may be an unequal battle, but go for it! Follow your life motto! Don’t be afraid of the clouds blocking your eyes, and seek the truth even if you are determined to die! ]

[At this critical moment, you suddenly let out a long roar and said in a very loud voice:——]

[“Hey~ Can we reconcile?”]

【? 】

[Fuck, why are you shouting so loudly? Is this the courage you have to face the darkness? It's really brave and infuriating. ]

[You have died at her hands once. You know that you are no match for the withered flower doll. She knows your strengths and weaknesses, but you don't know her depth. That "withered flower" is like a bottomless pit. The only thing you know is that when she is not very aggressive, you can last for 1 hour before dying of exhaustion.]

So you back off, hoping she'll let you go.

[Tsk, Master, you don't even dare to try, useless thing. ]

[“Hehe, your body has cooled down, it’s not beautiful anymore~”]

[The Withered Flower Doll is displeased and hooks your abdominal muscles with its bright nails. It laughs obscenely and says, "Forget it, how about this, I allow you to run ten times first, and then I'll chase you. If you run away, I'll let you go. If I catch up with you, I'll... hehehehehe~"]

[Hehehe, she is drooling over your body. You are the wasteland pile driver king, but this is outside the wasteland. Things have changed, and you have come to this day! ]

[“Why only ten seconds?” You know in your heart that your current maximum speed is 360 kilometers per hour. If you run for ten seconds to get one kilometer, it is impossible for you to return to the border. For a demigod, running one kilometer is the same as not walking at all. You haven’t even left her attack range. It seems that you can’t get away this time.]

[“I have been walking on thin ice all my life. I never thought that I would be killed by this withered flower and willow today~ Woohoo!” When you think of this, you are overwhelmed with grief. Two lines of hot tears roll down your cheeks. You cry very loudly.]

[“Crying? Crying also counts! One! Two~~” The withered flower doll had no sympathy for humans and started counting directly. ] [The more desperate you are, the happier she feels. Your pain is also her nourishment. ]

[When you heard this, you were even more heartbroken and cried loudly.]

[With the judgment voice of '8, 9, 10!', the broken flower puppet no longer waits, stretches out its claws towards you, and grabs the iron little Xu Kun again. ]

[At this moment, a loud sound of steel clashing erupted, and the Withered Flower Doll was forcibly repelled by you! ]

【What? It’s “Sad Farewell”! 】

[It turns out that you are not a coward at all. Your crying was intentional. You used the Iron Armor Secret Skill: A Heartbroken Farewell! ]

[When the Sad Farewell is activated, it can rebound all damage, such as this fatal chicken attack. 】

[At the same time, the more sad you are, the stronger your counterattack will be. ]

[Now your sorrow is like a river flowing backwards. You have successfully surpassed your limit. With your third-order body, you are fighting against a demigod, forcing Canhua Rentou to retreat a full: a small step! ]

[This is a small step for the broken flower doll, but a giant leap for mankind. This is the clarion call for you to attack higher-level beings, and the first blow for you to fight against the injustice of fate.]

[“Human, you are still using this kind of trick, is that your hobby?” The withered flower doll smiled, unyielding, stabilized its body, and attacked again, the look it gave you was enough to draw silk. ]

[This is the passionate portrayal of the Canhua doll. You will feel her passion later. Oi! ]

[Faced with such a powerful demigod, you exhale a breath of Qi like a whale drinking from a cow: "Boom!"]

[I saw an extremely powerful atomic breath, like a dam bursting, blasting out fiercely and enthusiastically, extremely masculine and strong! ]

[This breath was like a volcanic eruption, covering all the space in front of him, covering the Canhua puppet that had no time to dodge. ]

[——Yang Shen's final move, Xiantian Qi! ]

[Boom boom boom! Lightning and flint! Violent explosions rushed up one after another, and smoke and dust billowed in the air, as if experiencing a terrifying artillery fire washing the ground. ]

[When the smoke and dust dispersed, the ground where the Withered Flower Doll was located sank several meters. She staggered, and her body was covered with a layer of "Yang Sha" that was so thick that it condensed into blocks, constantly corroding her body and constantly being repaired.]

[Kun Qi is pent up, the extreme Yin is the true solution, things will turn to the opposite extreme, there is Yin in Yang! Xiantian Yiqi looks majestic, but in fact, those who are hit by this move will have their bodies rotten at the least, and the Yang evil will enter their brains and turn them into walking corpses at the worst. It can be said to be extremely vicious. ]

[Unfortunately, the Canhua puppet is a demigod-level warrior after all. She was caught off guard by your ultimate move, but she still withstood the damage. She only had a few more tattered cuts on her body, but she recovered quickly. The alien girl's body is very strong.]

[In a trance, she didn't see you around. It turned out that you had a plan in advance. You succeeded in one strike and fled far away in an instant, rushing towards the northern border. All obstacles blocking the way were forcibly dispersed by you, forming a yellow earth dragon that kept advancing on the wasteland. In the blink of an eye, you traveled ten miles! ]

[This is much more time than the Canhua Doll originally left for you. This is the time you bought for yourself. You are indeed a legendary dragon elephant. You managed to escape from the hands of the demigod. You are so strong! ]

【But can you really escape? 】

[The wind whistles in your ears, and in a trance, you hear a strange woo-woo-woo sound. ]

[Looking closely, a green light flashed in front of me, then turned yellow and started beeping.]

[When you walk several miles and come closer, the flashing yellow light suddenly shakes and turns into a dazzling red light! ]

[The red light enveloped you, and in an instant, your body was like a stopped train, crushing the ground into pieces, as if you had hit an invisible space barrier.]

[The broken flower doll gently pats its belly, then appears in front of you, surprised and delighted: "No passage ahead, you lose!"]

[Oops, you're stopped! ]

[There is always a way out for everyone, but she can end your life, because she is a broken flower doll with special abilities: stop at red lights, go at green lights, and pay attention when the yellow light is flashing. ]

[“Fuck, what kind of traffic rules are you talking about?” You cursed inwardly, your body being restrained, unable to move.]

[The Withered Flower Doll can't wait to grab you and send you to a road that is closed to traffic. At the same time, the green light flashes, reminding you that you can now pass quickly.]

[What? Wow, the Taichu Scroll can be unlocked. The Taichu Scroll can prove it. Here is the key!]

[Sad! You used to treat the alien girl as a roasting machine cup, but now it is your turn to be its Ziwei Xingjun. It really is a matter of time. ]

[As mentioned before, the flower doll is very passionate now, and she soon finds herself even more passionate because you are very angry and want to kill her. Your murderous intent overflows and turns into a raging fire - the murderous intention burns! ]

【At the same time, you take the opportunity to start condensing the Sun Chaser Golden Spear and start beaker.】

[The broken flower doll was quite surprised and covered its mouth with its hands to chuckle: "You, a human, actually have such tricks. It's really delightful."]

[You two started a long-lasting tug-of-war, she was responsible for pulling, and you were responsible for being sawed.]

[During this time, you lit the item 'Torch of the Sun', maintained your peak condition, and used the Sun Chasing Golden Spear multiple times, blowing her body apart.]

[Unfortunately, a silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies, and a candle will not stop shedding tears until it burns down to ashes. In the end, you failed to defeat the demigod and fell under the powerful and sharp power of the withered flower puppet, and the ghosts under your skirt have joined the army. ]

[You are dead, this journey is over, settlement in progress...]

[Evaluation: The road ahead is long and arduous. You have been searching for answers and tried to rein in your horse before it was too late, but you failed to do so and unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy, resulting in a tragedy that was unbearable to watch.]

[Although you struggled desperately, the gap in strength was too great, and you died in the end. The stronger your will to survive was, the more tragic your death was. Those who hear about it are sad, and those who see it will cry! ]

[You fought with a fourth-level body until the sun set, and with your iron-hard will, you stabbed the flower puppet into a withered flower. The skill that caused the most damage to her was "Kuafu Chasing the Sun". Without a doubt, you are a true gun cultivator, and you died with honor.]

[You get the item: Red Lantern Key (Flawless)! ]

[Red Light Key (Flawless): A special light bulb that can only be turned on with a special key. After turning it on, a countdown of green light-yellow light-red light will begin. After the countdown ends, a special area will appear: 'No Entry'! ]

[During the duration of the "Forbidden Zone", all enemies in the area cannot move in any sense until the time is up. Those holding the "Red Light Key" are not affected.]

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

"Hoohoo!"

As the simulation ended, everything around me faded away, and the pain of being sucked in also disappeared without a trace.

Xu Shu rubbed his brows, looked towards the dark forest in the south, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I wanted to go to the wilderness to hunt some low-level monsters, not much, at least to earn some basic income, but then I encountered this incident.

As a result, more than ten kilometers away, I was being watched by a terrifying creature of the "Broken Flower Doll" level. I definitely couldn't go out today.

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel angry when he thought that he worked for nothing all day and had no income. Although he got three high-quality props, he earned 0 yuan a day.

So how did this fourth-level demigod monster get to the border?
What's wrong with her?
It is very confusing.

"If I hadn't used the Taichu Scroll to peek into the future, even if I had been more cautious today and only explored the land within 20 kilometers, I would still be dead."

"Sure enough, although the third-level strength seems okay, once you leave the border, you will still be unable to move forward. You are still too weak!"

"Alas, it's still strength! I need more powerful strength!"

Xu Shu sighed deeply.

But now that it’s over, there’s nothing to worry about.

Anyway, the Taichu Volume is refreshed every day, so Xu Shu is not as anxious as before.

Take it slow, sooner or later you will surpass them!
but……

We can’t just let the matter of the withered flower doll go today.

Xu Shu walked to a big tree nearby, slightly raised his hips, turned on the upgraded network, switched his account nickname, and after some consideration, edited a post and clicked send.

Soon, a new post appeared on the Shengge network.

[People from Baiyujing came in to discuss. Your living cultivation method doesn't seem to work. I tried to refine a fourth-level broken flower puppet at the border, but after spending a lot of resources, it betrayed me and escaped. What happened?] - Taichu.
