Eternal Night

Chapter 117 Swaggering through the market
“What a tenacious life force!”

Wu Xianxiao exclaimed.

No one else dared to say a word, not even the man in red.

The man in red had never been so restrained before.

His name is Hao Cheng, and he is an old veteran who has been awakened for more than three years.

On the current Gaia, maintenance personnel who can survive for more than three years are truly veterans among veterans. These are maintenance personnel who have experienced at least a dozen weekends, and judging from the blockade on Gaia, they have also entered at least dozens of different dream worlds.

So even though Wu Xianxiao also has a title, he still has a psychological advantage over Wu Xianxiao, because Wu Xianxiao doesn't even know that in the dream world starting from 0.6 of the baseline reality, building-type shelters are the strongest. So even though they both have titles, Wu Xianxiao is definitely far inferior to him.

But only then did he understand why Chu Minghao led their team to set up a level five shelter, but let Wu Xianxiao set up a level five shelter alone.

The strengths of each other are totally not on the same level!

This is a strong man, even if he is not as great as Chu Minghao, at least he is a Wolf Slayer, right? ?

Wu Xianxiao did not kill the puppeteer. His vitality was very strong. Half of his body was broken and his tongue was pulled out of his long throat, but he was still not dead. He was just struggling and groaning weakly, and his upper and lower body were still active.

But at this point, Wu Xianxiao could really kill this commander-level monster easily.

But he didn't do that.

He folded the puppeteer's long arms and neck together, tied a bow, and formed a meat ball together with half of the body.

This performance of art made everyone around tremble in fear.

Hao Cheng's teammates were secretly asking him whether this person, who came from the same time and place as him, was the most terrifying demon in that era and region.

"…I just don't want trouble."

After Wu Xianxiao tied up the puppeteer, he rubbed his long legs into ropes, tied them into knots, and after trying, he found that he could easily carry him on his back.

Only then did he look at Hao Cheng and said, "Because of my title, even if I am very strong, those monsters seem to be unable to sense it. They want to attack me as soon as they see me. If it were normal times, it would be fine, but now I am in a hurry, so it is best if no monsters provoke me. This thing is very useful. It can let those monsters know at a glance that I am not easy to mess with!"

(No, this is no longer a monster that we feel is not to be trifled with, we feel even more terrified when we see it, right!?)

Hao Cheng couldn't understand Wu Xianxiao's train of thought, so he said coquettishly: "Why are you making it so bloody? If you are in a hurry, you don't have to rush at this moment, right? And although you are strong, you are still in danger in this demon city. If there is anything urgent, go to the safe area of ​​the library first. There are extraordinary people who work as mercenaries wandering there all year round. I will lend you a thousand yuan, and you can hire at least three saint-level extraordinary people to complete the task with you."

Seeing Wu Xianxiao in a daze, Hao Cheng smiled and said, "This is the currency issued by the captain. Didn't I just throw five dollars to you? That's already a huge asset. You can spend it in the safe zone, such as accommodation, food, various alcoholic beverages, or buying and selling fantasy items. You can do it there."

Wu Xianxiao nodded and said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness. If I survive, I will come to the library to meet you. But not now. I have to go save my...companion."

Hao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then asked seriously: "Maintenance personnel?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head and said, "No, it was me... a partner I met in the dream world. She believed in me wholeheartedly and followed me to Gaia, but after coming to this world, she was dragged into the Demon City. I have now received information confirming that she is in the graveyard, so I must go and save her."

Hao Cheng also has a title, so he naturally knows that a level five shelter can bring the natives of the dream world to Gaia. However, such natives of the dream world do not have the authority of the main brain, so they cannot establish a shelter, nor can they obtain the various conveniences and strengths of the main brain.

Because of Gaia's importance, bringing intelligent life to Gaia is something that needs to be considered very carefully. That is their real nest. If you are not absolutely sure, it is almost impossible to bring the natives of the Dream World there.

Therefore, Hao Cheng immediately understood Wu Xianxiao's determination.

But he also felt pain in his balls, well, it was pain in the physical sense.

"The graveyard..."

Hao Cheng said seriously: "There must be some big secret in the graveyard! I know how much our partners mean to us, so I won't stop you from rescuing them, but you must remember not to go too deep!"

Wu Xianxiao nodded and looked at Hao Cheng, who continued, "Didn't I mention it just now? My captain and two teammates were all dragged into the demon world, a demon world of 0.5 of the baseline reality... Let me show you." Hao Cheng carefully opened the personal information digitization panel and displayed the branding item.

"Brand: Demonic world attraction rate 39% (from Castlevania)."

Hao Cheng said to Wu Xianxiao: "Some high-level beings will rely on pollution sources to spread their information to multiple dream worlds, and the Demon Realm Hole in Demon City is such a lower-level but higher-level dream world. I was attracted to the Demon Realm, a dream world of 0.5 of the baseline reality. God knows how terrifying it is inside."

"My captain and two teammates explored the graveyard area, and their attraction rate suddenly soared to 100%. Then they disappeared. Although their shelter still exists, I dare not imagine what their current state is like."

Wu Xianxiao remained silent. He did not open his brand column to Hao Cheng for fear of irritating him.

The attraction of the baseline reality zero point five dream world... hehe.

Wu Xianxiao still felt Hao Cheng's sincerity. Such a charming man... no, such a warm-hearted and iron-blooded man really touched him. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much for your reminder. I will pay more attention. Then we will say goodbye now. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the arena."

Hao Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say that they should go to the sewer in the reception room together, but when he saw the huge fleshy thing that Wu Xianxiao was carrying, the words got stuck in his throat.

It's not that he values ​​his life, but as the last person in his team, he must first ensure his own life, and then find a way to become stronger, and at the same time find a way to rescue the captain in the demon world. He and Wu Xianxiao have only met once now, so there is really no need to risk his life to travel with him.

Instead, Charlotte and Mary followed Wu Xianxiao resolutely. After waving to the seven people, they entered the door of the next room.

"What a hero..."

Hao Cheng murmured in a coquettish tone, "No wonder the great god Chu Minghao didn't build a level 5 shelter for him. He is generous and resolute, and is willing to take risks for his companions... This is what men like us do!"

His six teammates were behind him, each trying to hold back their laughter...

Wu Xianxiao and his group continued to move forward.

Not to mention, after having the puppeteer's sign, all the monsters encountered along the way fled away screaming and howling. Even if they would not really die, or they had already died, the pressure from the superior monsters still forced them to flee.

Along the way, Wu Xianxiao was also carefully recalling the previous battle.

After Dan Jin condensed into a pill after a hundred days, his combat power increased explosively compared to when he fought against the giant wild boar monster, at least more than doubled!
His basic strength exceeded his original estimate. His physical fitness had been improving imperceptibly these days. He felt it only when he burst out with all his strength this time. The conventional strength of his body had reached nine to ten tons, and the explosive power of Dan Jin was even higher than that of Hua Jin, which allowed him to burst out nearly one hundred and fifty tons of Qi Jin.

This is a very exaggerated statistic!

Taking the 21st century technology in his memory as an example, a large load-carrying machine can lift objects weighing about 20 to 70 tons, while a general 40-inch sea container can carry 30 tons of cargo.

This means that he can explosively lift about five of these fully loaded containers with just his arm strength!!

Combined with the fact that the title of Common Man allows multiple judgments within a five-step distance that ignore defense, this means that these seemingly powerful extraordinary monsters may not be able to withstand a single punch from him.

(And this doesn’t even include my martial arts and human immortal martial arts fighting skills. For monsters like the Puppet Master, I can beat three without getting hurt. If there are five, they die and I get slightly hurt. If there are ten, they die and I get seriously injured and dying…)
The combination of the Chinese martial arts' energy control and power burst, the human immortal martial arts' blood and energy condensation, and the strengthening of the basic physical qualities has already produced a chemical change. It is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Coupled with the ignoring of multiple defense judgments of the title of common man, this has produced an explosive qualitative change. This time, the all-out outbreak of battle also allowed Wu Xianxiao to confirm this.

This is his fighting style and path. No matter how fancy you are, your lethality will be greatly reduced beyond five steps, and your defense will be almost non-existent at five steps. He is almost the best at countering this kind of fancy type!
(Unless... I encounter a battle with someone who has both skills and strength, and explosive damage, like me. That means we fight each other in close combat, and whoever loses all his blood first will die. Thinking about it carefully, only this type of person poses a huge threat to me!)
Any extraordinary person, any system, any power, when reaching the high end, will develop its own path and characteristics. This is the so-called master. Wu Xianxiao had already formed such a concept at this time, and then compared it with Chu Minghao's strength.

Obviously, Chu Minghao has completely condensed his own style. With ordinary sword skills and sword light, he has created the effect of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin like a sword immortal. There is no doubt that Chu Minghao's personal path has gone far further than him.

The three of them walked unimpeded to the deepest part of the corridor area, which was only a few rooms and passages away from the reception room. Then, a sound of rapidly flapping wings came from behind them.

Soon, a huge monster with a human head, a bird's body and a horse's body chased after them from another room.

The monster had a wingspan of at least ten meters, and a body about four meters long. As soon as it flew up, it began to roar: "Human, you are unlucky. Today... Fuck you!"

"What the hell is that on your backs!?"
