Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 629 Wu Man Goes Berserk
Xiao Ran didn't recognize her at first, mainly because the photo was taken so carelessly, it was almost a mosaic.

But after he looked at it carefully for a while, and gradually matched it with the giant wild boar that Wu Man had transformed into in his memory, he immediately realized what was going on.

Although it's just an outline, it's basically exactly the same as the wild boar that Wu Man transformed.

Xiao Ran didn't know what was going on with Wu Man either, but she couldn't worry about that now. She had to go and see first. If it really was Wu Man, she couldn't let these people ruin her.

"go!"

After saying "Let's go," Xiao Ran slammed the tea money on the table, got up, and ran after the group of people.

Xiao Ran was fast, so he let Jin Chanzi and Qinghai Laomo follow slowly behind, while he took one step at a time, his figure turning into a blur in the jungle, only the sound of the wind could be heard, but no trace could be seen.

With his lightness skill reaching this level, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire city who can surpass Xiao Ran.

At least among the current generation of beginners, and even professionals, no one can match Xiao Ran's speed.

As Xiao Ran's figure disappeared, the old demon Qinghai frowned and said, "This kid's lightness skill, no matter how you look at it, seems to resemble that Bodhisattva's."

"Hey, a Bodhisattva? It's just the supernatural powers of Buddhism. It's just that the person who teaches him is not very shrewd, and he doesn't teach the whole thing."

Upon hearing this, the Green Skeleton Demon turned to look at the Golden Toad: "Easy for you to say, as if you could do the same?"

"I don't want to learn that kind of thing. Shrinking the earth into an inch, drawing a circle on the ground to make a prison—there are countless Taoist mysteries, who would learn this? So, do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

The old demon Qinghai rolled his eyes. He was a demon king, but this Taoist mystical power was indeed rare. So he asked in a low voice, "Is there any price to pay?"

"Kneel down and kowtow to me, call me Master, and I'll take you as my disciple, how about that?"

"not so good!"

Upon hearing this, the old demon Qinghai shook his head like a rattle-drum and said, "You are the Golden Toad, not the Golden Cicada. If word gets out that I would become your disciple, people will laugh at me to death."

"Heh, you said it yourself. If you regret it later, you're a little dog."

"I regret it, I'm a bastard."

While the two were bickering, Xiao Ran had already caught up with the others.

These people were a large, seemingly disorganized mob, but in reality, they were a rabble, ranging from five or six people in a group to two or three people in a team.

However, under the guidance of those with a purpose, they dispersed and formed a large net, rushing into the depths of the mountains and forests.

"Gentlemen, this monster is very troublesome. Do not use any magic attacks. I'll say it again, if you encounter it, just run away. Don't fight it head-on. Use physical attacks. Don't use magic attacks. The effects of cursed items are almost useless against it."

The person speaking stood at the front of the group, holding a megaphone, constantly sharing their experience and guiding the group's direction.

The other party only glanced at Xiao Ran, this random person who appeared out of nowhere, and did not pay much attention to him, but added: "Those random people who come later, don't worry, after the hunt, everyone will get a share of the beast's meat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile.

"Wu Man, you've finally met your match?!"

This kid used to do business with acquaintances wherever he went, but now he's practically becoming the "wild game" people are talking about.

However, Xiao Ran was also puzzled. With Wu Man's strength, she shouldn't have fallen to this state. What exactly happened? Could it be because of her?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran suppressed the smile on her face. Regardless of whether Wu Man's current situation was related to her, he had helped her so many times. This time, it was her turn to help him.

Xiao Ran immediately took a deep breath, and his immense spiritual power suddenly spread out.

This spiritual force, like a tidal wave, rapidly covered the surrounding area of ​​several hundred square meters, penetrating every crevice in the mountains. Immediately, the expressions of many beginners changed.

"who!!"

Some people's faces changed drastically, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end. They had never felt so terrified before. Such a huge amount of spiritual power was unheard of, and its range was simply too exaggerated.

Suddenly, riots broke out in many groups.

"Don't move, it looks like a master is coming. Let's not act rashly."

A newcomer stopped his companion. This man was named Tashan, from Inner Mongolia. He was very tall with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his profession was actually based on mental power. His D-level profession, Golden Bell Shaman, was a shaman's exclusive skill, Primordial Soul, which could greatly enhance his mental power.

Therefore, he had already broken through the 50 mark in terms of mental strength long ago.

He is considered one of the best among D-level beginners.

But now, he realized what it meant to be outmatched and to have an unbelievable level of spiritual power. Compared to his opponent, he felt that the difference between them was not something he could catch up with by just a few points of spiritual power.

"Could he be a professional?"

Tashan began to have doubts. They had mostly only heard of professionals and had rarely actually seen one.

Thinking of this, Tashan looked up and peered out, wanting to witness the professional's demeanor.

There are many people who share the same thoughts as Tashan.

This also included Zhang Jun, the newcomer who was holding a megaphone and directing the team.

Sensing this immense spiritual power startled Zhang Jun, who was shocked: "A professional, definitely a professional! How could there be a professional here?!"

Surprised and confused, he turned around and looked around before finally fixing his gaze on Xiao Ran. It was easy to spot, as the plants around Xiao Ran were beginning to distort in different ways due to the cleansing effect of this immense spiritual power.

The plants and trees changed their postures as Xiao Ran's thoughts shifted, as if they were dancing around him magically. "Quick, go and inform the boss that something has changed."

Zhang Jun urged someone to deliver the message, while he himself jogged up to Xiao Ran. "Senior, senior, my name is Zhang Junbao, and I'm the person in charge designated by the organizers of this bounty. You can just call me Xiao Bao."

Xiao Ran opened her eyes and glanced at Zhang Jun in front of her. With just one glance, she seemed to see right through Zhang Jun, inside and out.

"Who is the organizer of the bounty?"

"This... is a joint event organized by several businesses."

Xiao Ran's brows furrowed instantly: "Tell me your name!"

"Oh!"

The terrifying mental force pressed down like a landslide, turning Zhang Jun's face deathly pale. Her blood seemed to freeze, and her head felt like it was about to explode. With a scream, she knelt on the ground, clutching her head and rolling around on the floor.

"It's...it's...Fusheng Money Shop."

Zhang Jun dared not remain silent, fearing that if he persisted any longer, his head would be crushed by the other party's mental power.

These words immediately sparked a discussion among the people present.

"Fusheng Money Shop? That name sounds familiar."

"How could it not sound familiar? Isn't this the money exchange of the Changchun Association?"

When the topic of Changchun Club came up, everyone's faces immediately showed disgust, as the hospital incident had already caused quite a stir.

The fact that the Changchun Municipal Health Commission did not dare to come forward to clarify further confirmed the hospital's situation.

While it's hard to say that other factions don't engage in this kind of blatant and outrageous behavior of using new players as resources, no one would dare to do it so openly and shamelessly.

So now the reputation of the Changchun Association is truly ruined, to the point that people despise anything associated with it.

This is why Zhang Jun didn't dare to say her name directly.

"Damn, this whole thing is messed up, I don't want to play anymore."

Some people were ready to leave on the spot. Although the money was tempting, being associated with Changchun was like chocolate smeared with feces—disgusting.

"Oh, I won't make things difficult for you."

Xiao Ran spoke softly, which made Zhang Jun feel relieved. But the next second, Xiao Ran appeared beside him in a flash, her fingers moving like lightning, and gently tapped Zhang Jun's temple.

Zhang Jun's eyes instantly filled with blood, and after swaying a few times, she fell straight to the ground, no longer breathing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not some monster, but a friend of mine. It's all a deliberate scheme by the Changchun Association to manipulate you all into becoming their cannon fodder. So please, give me the honor of watching from here; those who wish to interfere..."

Xiao Ran raised her head, her gaze gradually turning cold: "Kill him!"

The moment the words "must kill" were uttered, everyone felt the temperature plummet, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

If you're even slightly timid, your legs will tremble when you hear those two words.

However, some of the bolder ones spoke up, saying, "Boss, we won't interfere, but we can help you out. I've seen that guy before; he's as big as a small mountain, incredibly strong, and immune to all kinds of damage. The key thing is that he seems to have gone mad; you probably can't subdue him by yourself!"

"Yes, we can scout ahead for you, big boss. We don't mean anything by it. We're already here, so we might as well watch the show and give you a boost."

Most of the people present were more or less seasoned beginners, but the vast majority had only heard of professionals and had never actually seen one.

Since they had such a rare opportunity, they wanted to stay and watch the excitement, hoping to gain some inspiration from Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran understood what everyone meant and did not try to drive them away. He said, "Then thank you all very much."

As she spoke, Xiao Ran rushed straight into the forest.

Seeing this, everyone immediately followed, but Xu Ran was left far behind by Xiao Ran's speed after only a few steps.

This left many beginners, whose strength lies in agility, feeling disheartened; they were far from being good enough.

"This speed and agility must be over 50, right? Such strong mental power and such high agility? Holy crap, where did such high attributes come from? Could it be from a cursed artifact?"

"Who cares what it is? Even if it's a cursed artifact, its speed is still unmatched by us."

The group murmured amongst themselves as they followed Xiao Ran in her direction.

This forest wasn't very large, but Xiao Ran's immense spiritual power swept across every inch of the surrounding land.

When Xiao Ran's spiritual energy swept into a mountain stream, it seemed to be repelled by some force.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar came from the depths of the mountain stream.

The roar was accompanied by the harsh scraping sound of metal, and half a birch grove collapsed in response. Xiao Ran also noticed the shadow hiding in the ravine. When he saw the figure clearly, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Wu Man, it's me!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of sand and stones flew up, and a crimson shadow crashed straight into Xiao Ran...
