Chapter 375 Survival from desperate situation (please vote for me)

...for a while.

Shui Longyin finally digested the explosive news and asked, "Did the master who taught you leave his name?"

"No." Xu Shu shook his head first, then nodded and said, "But I have my doubts about the candidate."

Shui Longyin was quite surprised: "Who?"

Xu Shu was surprised and said, "Of course it's Taichu. The world channel was going crazy just now. Didn't you know?"

"...I saw it, but I didn't pay much attention to it. What's wrong?" Shui Longyin asked pretending to be ignorant.

Wow, you see a little bit?

Not much attention?
I laughed!
Who was it that just called everyone a senior and acted cute and pitiful for a little hope?

Who is it? Who is it?

Now you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth, right?
Xu Shu was very proud in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, and continued to sing: "Taichu said that he accidentally lost a fourth-level ghost servant near the border, and asked Baiyujing's people to solve the problem;
"The mysterious master I met also told me that there is a fourth-level ghost servant outside the border, and asked me to wait for you, a senior official of Baiyujing!

"There are too many similarities, so I now strongly suspect that the so-called 'Broken Flower Doll' and 'Traffic Light' are actually the same strange servant, and the mysterious master I met is Taichu himself!"

Shui Longyin's eyes lit up when she heard these words. She couldn't help but show some admiration and deliberately asked, "Why do you think so?"

Xu Shu smiled shyly and said, "Haha, think about it, a fourth-level monster is not a cabbage in the field. It will never appear near the border. But there is one at Taichu and another at the mysterious beggar. They are at the same time and place. How can such a coincidence happen in the world?
“History tells us that when a coincidence is too coincidental, it is no longer a coincidence.

"Haha, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but I suspect that this powerful fourth-level monster was left here by him personally, just to give me an opportunity. This is what they call doing good deeds without worrying about the future!"

Xu Shu changed the perspective of the online analyses, took the initiative to expose himself, and told the story in a leisurely manner, while revealing a bit of "narcissism" at just the right time, with no flaws in his expression.

——His purpose was simple, which was to describe himself and Taichu as "kind-hearted seniors who wanted to help Shui Longyin", in order to consolidate the harmonious and friendly relationship between the two sides and maximize his own safety.

Who would have thought that after these words were spoken, Shui Longyin suddenly let out a breath, looked at Xu Shu deeply, revealing a barely perceptible trace of pity.

Although she tried her best to control her emotions, her eyes still flickered like spring water.

"I see! Haha, everything was set up by Taichu against me! This guy is just a tool, he probably doesn't even know it.

“Alas, Taichu knows so much about the red and green lights, and even knows and cracks its special hiding ability. He also specially arranged a guy like this to help me find its traces, but he is unwilling to show up in person. I wonder what he is trying to do?
"Who is he to Master?

"Why did he specifically throw the traffic light on the road I had to take today?
“He totally calculated my schedule?
"It's a plan that is so well thought out and far-reaching, like a prophet's plan. It's really frightening...

"Could he be the Taoist's suspected immortal spirit master?"

Shui Longyin muttered to himself, his chest rising and falling slightly, his heart beating wildly, and he felt a strong sense of awe and fear for the mysterious strong man on the Tianbang.

As a disciple of Baiyujing, she certainly would not easily believe a mysterious and powerful person on the Heavenly Ranking with unknown origins, but she really had not thought so much about it before, and was completely immersed in the joy of having the opportunity to find her master right in front of her.

It was not until Xu Shu's words came to her mind that she suddenly realized that she had been too reckless today.

If today's conspiracy is directed against me by the enemy, I have been fooled and am under siege!
At this moment, even someone as powerful as No. 69 on the Earth Ranking couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, regardless of whether Taichu is a friend or not, he is definitely not an enemy. Otherwise, with the "traffic light" in hand, he would not have to go through so much trouble.

Besides, regardless of whether it was a conspiracy against him or Bai Yujing, the "traffic light" was related to the whereabouts of the Taoist master, so he had no choice but to come this time.

"Now that things have come to this, there is no point in worrying too much. The most urgent thing is to find the puppet first! Let this kid play his role."

Thinking of this, Shui Longyin suppressed all the worries in his heart, looked at Xu Shu seriously, his eyes gradually calmed down, and even carried a kind of imperceptible pity.

Xu Shu was also observing Shui Longyin's expressions. He saw that Shui Longyin's expression was calm, like an unfathomable deep pool, but the strong murderous aura at the beginning had disappeared, replaced by a relatively peaceful and friendly attitude.

"Very good, it seems that we have turned enemies into friends now. My secret guidance through words has been very effective. I am in a safe position now..." Xu Shu came to a very 'correct' judgment.

The two had different ideas. After a moment of silence, Shui Longyin spoke first:

"Although you are a smooth talker, you are actually quite smart. No wonder that master chose you."

Xu Shu felt relieved and said politely, "Thank you for the compliment, sister. Then..."

Before he could finish his words, Shui Longyin interrupted him and said, "Enough of the small talk. The most urgent thing is to help me find the Canhua doll. Where is the location that the mysterious master told you?
"Okay..." Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he said according to his original guess, "It's hard to say the location, but the expert told me that I can only encounter it if I follow a certain route, and I can't show my face during the journey, so as not to scare it away."

Shui Longyin said without hesitation: "You lead the way in front, and I will follow you behind."

She used actual actions to prove that Xu Shu's guess was correct. Without her, Shui Longyin would not be able to find the Canhua doll just based on the location. This made Xu Shu feel more confident.

next second.

"Turn on the upgrade drive, add some friends, and form a team so that you can see my location." Shui Longyin said as he reached out and touched the bracelet, opening a small light curtain and wanting to add Xu Shu in person.

"!" Xu Shu's face froze immediately, but he still responded without changing his expression.

He straightened his hips to open the driver, and immediately chose not to display his nickname so that others could not see any messages.

Fortunately, he was worrying too much. Shui Longyin respected other people's privacy and did not come over to "peek at the screen".

【Tip: Shuilongyin sent you a friend request. 】

【You have passed. 】

[Shuilongyin invites you to join the team, do you accept? ]

Xu Shu clicked to join.

This is Shuilongyin.

[The friends you invited have joined the team. Current team size: 2/6]

[*Shui Long Yin, fourth-level Yama]

[*Looking back, third-order dragon elephant]

"Forehead……"

Shui Longyin looked at the team list and was suddenly stunned for two seconds.

She looked at Xu Shu, and then at the 'Gu Pan' in the team.

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched, his heartbeat quickened, but he looked at her calmly without saying a word.

If she insists on seeing my nickname, then I can only confess and give her a fair shake. At worst, my vest will fall off, but my life is more important... Xu Shu has already made the final plan in his heart.

However, Shui Longyin suddenly laughed: "It turns out to be you, interesting. Lead the way."

After she finished speaking, her figure gradually faded and disappeared into the air, completely undetectable to the naked eye.

Only in Xu Shu's 'spiritual perception' could he vaguely see a faint, blurry shadow in the air in front of him, which was very dim and almost imperceptible.

This is the signature skill of "Impermanence", the second stage of the "Corpse Chaser" path. Ghostly Step, the user enters a wandering spirit state and cannot be hit by conventional damage.

"..."

Fortunately, I just recognized my own name "Gu Pan"!
I didn't expect that the strong men on the Earth Ranking would also pay attention to the changes on the Azure Ranking...

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, his back soaked with sweat. He looked around as if nothing had happened, confirmed his current location and said, "Follow me."

After saying that, he jumped directly from the edge of the cliff, crashed into the ground with a bang, and landed steadily.

After standing up, he dusted off his clothes, identified a direction, and quickly moved through the dense forest.

In order to encounter the 'Broken Flower Doll', Xu Shu's decision was simple - just follow the pioneering route of the third expedition today and walk again. He has been to this place twice today and has a very accurate grasp of the map. He can clearly remember where the monster's nest is and where the bones of the pioneers who died unfortunately are.

Just follow the map and try it again, and when you arrive at the romantic nest of the "mating snakes" at ten o'clock, the withered flower doll will start following you.

During this period, if Shui Longyin has the ability, he can catch it.

If she couldn't find the Withered Flower Doll, Xu Shu wouldn't worry, because as long as she followed the original route, at noon, the Withered Flower Doll would appear 34 kilometers to 1 kilometer away from the border, blocking her from going home.

By then, it will be like "corpses everywhere in the field, and you are happy to pick up the withered flower doll, and escape safely"!
Xu Shu thought happily.

In order to avoid accidents, he opened the team interface and was about to send a message to ask Shui Longyin to stay away from him as much as possible, but he found that the red dot belonging to Shui Longyin's location on the "Team Map" had floated more than ten kilometers away and moved with him.

At the same time, her message is also included in the team list: "If you find it, give it a signal here. Don't worry, it can't see me when I don't show up."

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows.

Great, you got it all right! No need to explain this.

He no longer had any psychological burden and rushed towards the route he remembered, avoiding monsters and traps along the way, and came to a location only two kilometers away from the border. In a chicken coop not far away, there was an alien sandgrouse, hatching chicks alone.

This was the first monster he encountered on his original "pioneering route".

Xu Shu did not take action immediately, but waited for a full six minutes before rushing forward at the right time to kill the entire nest of incubating sandgrouse.

Almost at the same time, a message came from the team channel: "??? What are you doing? What did you kill?"

"Forehead……"

My general whereabouts could be observed from more than ten kilometers away? Was the Earth List expert too powerful? Or did he do something to me, like insert an eye to mark me or something?

Xu Shu touched his chin and replied without thinking: "Killing a small wild monster is a necessary process in order to summon the traffic light. Don't ask me why, because I don't know either. Or you can ask Taichu."

"Yeah." Shui Longyin said nothing more in the team channel and answered coldly.

At the same time, Xu Shu found a private message under his "Taichu" account.

I clicked on it and saw that it was also posted by Shuilongyin.

She really came to ask, but asked in an extremely tactful way, saying: "Senior! I have now arrived at the location you mentioned. The traffic light is not there, but I met Xu Shu, the person you arranged. Now I am following him, and everything is done according to your arrangement. Senior, is this correct for me?"

"Tsk~"

This should be a test to see if Taichu is really the "mysterious beggar" and to see if I am lying, right?
After a brief thought, he resisted the urge to give Shui Longyin an order like "put on a maid outfit and do a pole dance in front of him", and finally sent a simple message: "Yes."

"Thank you for your guidance! After my master left, you have been the best and most patient person to me. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and will definitely repay you one day~" - Shui Longyin.

After saying that, she also sent a "heart" emoticon, which was quite cute.

"Fuck! You licker!" Xu Shu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Even though I know that this woman is definitely acting weak, the difference in attitude is too big!

He cursed this damn two-faced man in his heart, and made up his mind that even if the other party asked to see his "nickname" next time, he would never agree to it.

After killing the sandgrouse, Xu Shu continued to move forward along the planned route. Soon he killed a group of monsters such as mud salamanders, human-faced scorpions, etc.

Then, at the appointed time, outside a bush surrounded by red, not far away, there were two silver-ringed mating snakes mating crazily.

"I don't know who gave these monsters their names, they are so descriptive."

Xu Shu was amazed, rushed over, grabbed the male and female snakes and separated them.

The two first-level snake monsters naturally roared and fought back desperately.

Unfortunately, facing Xu Shu, who was two levels higher than them and quite good at fighting against opponents of higher levels, the two snakes had no power to resist.

"It's not nice to do this when being watched... Sigh, but in order to ensure that I can lure out the broken flower doll, I still have to behave exactly the same as I did during the journey. I can't lose the big picture for the sake of the small!"

"Well, besides, she seems to be able to only roughly observe my behavior, and can't see it very specifically, like putting a camera directly on me."

Xu Shu puffed out his cheeks, muttered a few words, reached out and pinched the softer jaw of the female silver ring snake, pulled out the snake's teeth again, washed its mouth with clean water, and replaced her husband.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss hiss! Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss ahhhh~~~" The male silver ring snake's eyes were red and it couldn't help but howl miserably, facing the most painful and desperate scene in its body helplessly.

drop drop~
"Damn it, what do you want to do? Is this a necessary step? No wonder you are called the Grass Python Hero, you are really a grass." - Shui Longyin.

Alas, it seems that she was discovered after all. Her vision is so far away...

But I don’t want to do that either. Who told me to do that?
If you want to blame someone, blame it on fate!
Xu Shu's face flushed, and he confidently enjoyed the snake girl's service. At the same time, he changed the subject and said, "Sister, according to what the master told me, the traffic light should have appeared nearby. Have you found it?"

This instantly attracted all of Shui Longyin's attention.

She no longer paid attention to Xu Shu's abnormal behavior.

Xu Shu saw that the red dot belonging to Shui Longyin on the map came behind him at an incredible speed, almost in the blink of an eye, and the red dot completely overlapped everything.

Xu Shu was immediately shocked.

She actually flashed? Is this her way of marking me?

In his "spiritual vision", he saw the illusory and blurry figure representing Shui Longyin appear behind him, as if trying to avoid looking directly at the image that polluted her eyes.

However, after a few minutes, the Water Dragon Song did not appear.

Xu Shu looked at the team map and found that she had gone back to the border.

"Nothing was found. You continue to act according to what Taichu said." Shui Longyin said in the team.

"Oh."

It can’t even be discovered, how powerful must the Withered Flower Doll’s concealment skills be?
Xu Shu let the little snake hum non-stop and quickly resolved the battle, beheading it and obtaining a green eight-stripe crystal.

"By the way, if this is the case, I can probably harvest all the erosion crystals I hunted during the expedition?"

Xu Shu suddenly came up with a bold idea.

He no longer hesitated, and immediately quickened his pace, looking for the monsters' habitats along the route.

He crushed the human-faced scorpion to death, raped and killed the black widow spider, killed two ghosts of the "light chaser" Sunlight, broke the wheel of the wheel-head monster, and slammed the dark crawler to the ground so that it couldn't get up...

During this period, although he knew that the Canhua puppet would definitely follow him again, Xu Shu no longer contacted Shui Longyin and rushed forward and slashed wildly. Wherever he went, alien species bowed their heads, ghosts shed tears, and demons and blood-weeping snakes wailed.

Time passed minute by minute, and after several hours, Xu Shu obtained 32 erosion crystals and arrived at a place more than kilometers away from the border.

Ahead was a dark low hill with sparse trees. Not far away, next to a spring stream, there was a large, smooth, mossy rock that was particularly eye-catching.

This stone was once used by Xu Shu as a bridal chamber, where he had a thrilling battle with the Canhua doll, which ended with Xu Shu using all his skills to teach the doll everything he knew.

This was not his third expedition route, but his first!

Because he discovered that Shui Longyin was unable to find the Canhua puppet that had not voluntarily sacrificed itself, Xu Shu guessed that he might need to wait for the puppet to come out and kill him before he could be found.

Therefore, in order to avoid any further trouble and accidents, Xu Shu immediately chose to change his strategy and route, switching from today's "Third Journey" to the "First Journey".

This is the timeline before he encountered the Canhua Doll, and it is also the timeline in which he hunted the most monsters!
"There are only two and a half minutes left. Behind the stone ahead, that exquisite and beautiful doll will inevitably appear in front of me~ It's time to get Shui Longyin ready."

Xu Shu silently calculated the time, walked slowly forward, and opened the team channel.
