Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 644 Provocation
Nine times out of ten, the things in the City God Temple are minor evil spirits that have taken over the City God's position. Nine times out of ten, they want to wait for the Lost City to be completed before making a comeback.

Xiao Ran guessed that as soon as she entered the gate of the City God Temple, she might be attacked by strange tales, which was why the other party refused to come out.

Unfortunately, since it happened to be skilled in curse spells and hid inside, Xiao Ran had plenty of ways to deal with it.

I reckon it won't be long before this thing can't take it anymore.

I'll take action when the time comes; I'm not afraid this thing will be unruly.

Finding an empty alley, Xiao Ran threw the coffin on the ground, and with a light kick of her toe, the coffin lid slid open by itself.

The Manchester United team inside was now a corpse, submerged in a pool full of corpses.

We don't know how strong this guy is yet, but it's certainly a very frustrating way for a master of external martial arts to be drowned alive in a coffin.

It's not that he's weak; rather, Xiao Ran's coffin, though seemingly simple, actually combines the techniques of a corpse pool, a corpse coffin array, and the Yama's Knocking Gate.

If you are trapped in a coffin, unless you can break free as soon as possible, the more fluid from the corpses inside you accumulate, the stronger the coffin will become.

Ultimately, this is a skill for professionals, not something beginners can master.

Xiao Ran took out the [Suppressing Calamity Decree] and activated the privileged spiritual book on Manchester United's corpse.

Manchester United's memory book quickly fell into Xiao Ran's hands. He was not a member of the Changchun Society, and there were no precautions in the memory book.

Xiao Ran only glanced at it briefly, but she learned a lot about what was going on in their team.

Real Madrid's man may not be very capable, but he certainly has a lot of ambition.

Xiao Ran learned about Real Madrid's ideas from Manchester United's memories, and it has to be said that Real Madrid's ideas were actually not wrong.

Instead of risking their lives outside, they should occupy the City of All Beings, accumulate strength, and once the Lost City is established, they can gather a large number of ordinary people and quickly build their own power here. Then, with the resources of the City of All Beings, they can become local overlords. At that time, whether they can leave the City of All Beings will not be so important.

Real Madrid simply misjudged the situation.

There are already methods for rapid advancement outside, and every day a large number of ordinary people are rapidly advancing to beginner level. Before long, Xiao Ran estimates that a large number of professionals will emerge.

When the time comes, they will be huddled here with no advantage, and will instead become easy prey for other professionals.

Xiao Ran was really curious about what Real Madrid's expression would be like if that day came and they stood on the city wall, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a large number of ordinary people, only to find that the people who arrived were ruthless and domineering professionals.

As the saying goes, in this competitive world, those who are complacent and pleasure-seeking, no matter what plans they have, will inevitably be eliminated in the end.

"Yes, it would be a shame not to take these resources."

Xiao Ran saw several warehouses in Manchester United's memories; these warehouses were resource stores that Real Madrid had stockpiled.

It contains potions, herbs, food, and various high-quality weapons, armor, and even cursed items.

Real Madrid and their team are stockpiling these things in preparation for expanding their strength and taking full control of the City of All Beings in the future.

These things were either stolen by Real Madrid from other teams or looted by them themselves. In any case, the cost has already been borne by Real Madrid. If Xiao Ran takes them, he will not be affected by the City of All Beings at all.

"what!"

At this moment, Xiao Ran saw something interesting in Manchester United's memories and snorted coldly: "As expected, it's a bunch of idiots."

When Manchester United and AC Milan blocked his way, Xiao Ran suspected that someone had tipped off Real Madrid.

The fact that he wanted to take Huang Le away wasn't exactly a secret, but Real Madrid wouldn't have paid any attention to it unless someone deliberately leaked the information to Real Madrid, which would have led to Real Madrid sending people to intercept him today.

Why herself? Because Dodge and the others had a very deep impression of Xiao Ran.

When they complained, they inevitably focused on describing Xiao Ran's situation.

Real Madrid's decision to stop him wasn't solely due to Huang Le; it was merely a test.

At this moment, Xiao Ran indeed saw Dodge's figure in Manchester United's memory.

Interestingly, this guy is actually a lackey of Real Madrid. He recruited rookies like Huang Le to further control them, so that if they discovered any extraordinary opportunities, they could immediately notify Real Madrid to intercept them.

Poor Huang Le, if it weren't for Xiao Ran's appearance, this guy would probably have been sold off piece by piece and would have had to count the money for the seller.

As for Real Madrid as a team...

"Hmm~ Killing them isn't difficult, but perhaps we can make use of them."

Xiao Ran looked at the Manchester United corpse and suddenly had an idea. She reached out to pat her chest, but remembering what Qinghao had said last time, she patiently waited and silently recited Qinghao's name.

Before long, the blue raccoon hiding in Xiao Ran's arms was awakened. Xiao Ran pointed at Manchester United, who was soaking in the corpse water: "Get to work!!"

"Captain, it's been so long, why haven't we heard anything from Manchester United?" In the teahouse, the group looked at Real Madrid. It was getting dark, but they still hadn't seen Manchester United or Milan. Real Madrid was starting to get a little impatient.

Logically, things that are about to be accomplished shouldn't take this long.

"Let's wait a little longer. If they don't come back soon, we'll go and check on them."

Barcelona player stood up, poured Real Madrid a cup of tea, and then tentatively asked, "Captain, the Spirit God Cult is going to refine pills again tonight. Should we go and join in the fun?"

"Why bother joining in this fun? Those defective products from the Spirit God Cult are useless to us anyway, and they refuse to give us the real Spirit God Pills."

Real Madrid felt a surge of anger when this matter was brought up.

The Yin God Pills that the spirit taught them were all defective and could only be effective on beginners below level D.

They're all at level D now, and Real Madrid itself has even reached level 3D.

However, he made no progress in his professional skills.

There was absolutely no clue as to how to make any progress.

He has already negotiated with the Spirit Cult several times, hoping to obtain some complete versions of the Spirit Pill.

As a result, those bastards always made excuses for themselves.

They spout nonsense like saying the success rate of the Yin Shen Dan is extremely low, and they don't even have enough for themselves.

"Manchester United are back!"

At that moment, Arsenal, who was standing next to the tea stall, suddenly pointed to the intersection ahead.

Real Madrid looked up and saw Manchester United running towards them with furtive expressions.

"Why is he the only one here? Where's Milan?"

Upon seeing this, Real Madrid immediately became alert, quickly walked out of the tea stall, and led their men to meet them.

"What happened? Why are you the only one who came back? What happened?"

Manchester United quickly made a shushing gesture, indicating that Real Madrid should follow him into the alley to talk.

The three Real Madrid players were even more puzzled upon seeing this, but they still patiently followed Manchester United into the alley.

After confirming that no one was around, Manchester United whispered to Real Madrid, "Captain, we've been fooled!!"

"What??"

Real Madrid was taken aback, unsure of what Manchester United meant. They looked up and gestured for the Arsenal and Barcelona players to stand guard at the alley entrance. Then, they took out a pack of cigarettes from their storage space, offered one to Manchester United, and said, "No rush, take your time."

Seeing the cigarette offered by Real Madrid, Manchester United casually took it, but didn't put it in his mouth. He said anxiously, "Captain, that kid went into the City God Temple and then disappeared. Milan and I kept watch for a while and were about to leave, but then we unexpectedly saw people from the Spirit Cult. We couldn't dodge in time and had to hide on the roof. We happened to overhear them saying..."

Manchester United swallowed hard, looking troubled and unsure whether to continue.

"Speak up! What did you hear? Stop beating around the bush."

"Yin Shen Dan, the people of the Ling Shen Sect can refine a lot of complete Yin Shen Dan each time. They deliberately don't give them to us, but only give us defective ones. After we eat the defective ones, it will be more difficult for us to improve our skills. We can only continue to eat higher-level Ling Shen Dan. If we disobey in the future, they can immediately support another team."

Manchester United's words immediately made Real Madrid's expression turn very ugly.

Yin Shen Dan and Zhong Sheng Cheng – the former is Real Madrid's sore spot, while the latter is what really hits Real Madrid's sore spot.

"Captain, the people of the Spirit Cult don't treat us like human beings at all, they're even worse than dogs. Once they've built up enough followers here, this place will become their territory. Whether we live or die will depend on their whims."

As Manchester United was speaking, they suddenly noticed Real Madrid staring at them with bloodshot eyes. The murderous look in their eyes startled even Manchester United, and they involuntarily took two steps back.

“Captain, there’s one more thing. Our Spirit God Cult said that when they’re refining pills, the recipes are all in the hands of the High Priest, and no one else knows the specific recipes. So Milan secretly followed them, hoping to find the High Priest and find an opportunity to steal the recipes.”

"Nonsense!!"

Upon hearing this, Real Madrid immediately panicked: "Don't you know about the High Priest's methods? If we are discovered, it will implicate all of us."

"Captain, I think this is the right thing to do. We can't just sit here and wait to die. Besides, this is a rare opportunity. Those newcomers seem to be looking to cause trouble for the Spirit God Cult. We can join in and fan the flames. Once they start fighting, we can reap the benefits."

Seeing Real Madrid begin to hesitate, Manchester United's eyes darted around, and then they said in a strange tone, "Captain, you don't want to remain a D-level beginner forever, do you? Besides, if you don't take a gamble now, what if all your hard work is just going to be for nothing once the Spirit Cult has completely taken control of the City of All Beings?"

Upon hearing this, Real Madrid's anger nearly burst out, and the more they thought about it, the more they realized that Manchester United's words made perfect sense.

Real Madrid, their own interests at stake, could no longer contain themselves and cursed viciously, "Spiritualist Church, I'll fuck your grandma, let's go, let's take them down!"
