All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 207 Conflict Mall

Chapter 207 Conflict Mall
"You told me to kill her!!"

"Kill her, and I'll kill that Luan Ke all by myself!"

An abandoned winery in a suburban town.

This place was once home to many factories and commercial streets due to its proximity to the bustling Middle East Railway. However, with the development of the times, it gradually declined, and the town, which originally had a population of forty to fifty thousand, now only has one or two thousand elderly people left.

At that moment, an angry roar echoed from the abandoned distillery!

boom!
A double-headed gun was slammed into the open ground, blasting a deep dent into the concrete!

Countless shattered pieces of dirt flew out, smashing against the surrounding old wooden barrels with a "crackling" sound!
A man with a buzz cut and dyed red hair, his eyes bloodshot, stared intently at the woman in front of him!
In the freezing weather of Harbin, he was wearing only a navy blue striped shirt, washed jeans, and white sneakers.

The man had a handsome face, a high nose, and broad eyes, with a hint of mixed race. He wore silver earrings, but they didn't make him look effeminate; instead, they added a touch of wildness and freedom to him.

However, at this moment, his face was contorted with rage, his eyes were bloodshot, and his muscles all over his body were tinged with an eerie pale red.

"Hee hee hee!"

Opposite him, Hongluan, with short hair and a sweet face, had her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into slits with happiness. She wore denim shorts and a white sweatshirt, and as she stretched her arms, her toned waist and abs were revealed.

"Can you kill me?"

Hongluan covered her mouth with her hand, laughing so hard she was shaking, and said, "Oh, haven't you had enough of climbing the old forest yet?"

"you wanna die!!"

The man was furious!
He was the one who originally brought people to cooperate with [Rusty Knife] on a mission to unleash the demons and monsters [Blood feud]!
However, before he could carry out his mission, he was tricked by [Hongluan] and fell under her illusion spell! He mistook the old forest in Northeast China for an apartment building in the city, searching for people one building at a time, and has been trapped in the forest ever since!

Hongluan, holding the letter given to her by the elder, led the organization's followers to Ice City!

What a shame!
He acts with a low profile and efficiency, and outsiders only regard him as a Level 3, unaware that he has actually already reached the peak of Level 3! He is just one step away from Level 4!
Within the Hidden Gods Society, he was also a top figure among the first-tier members!
But Hongluan!!

She actually dared to manipulate me, and she actually dared to use the elder's task to exploit the emotions of her own people!
Most importantly, the mission was botched!
The elder doesn't know about this yet. If he did, Hongluan would definitely be in trouble. But he himself wouldn't fare much better!
The higher-ups of the Hidden God Society only care about the results; if a mission fails, it fails. And he is the person in charge of the mission!
"You...die!!"

boom!
With a deep-seated hatred, he gritted his teeth and suddenly vanished!
boom!
The blue ceiling of the dilapidated factory building cast a hazy, golden beam of light. It illuminated only the scattered pebbles and swirling dust, obscuring the man's figure entirely!
Hongluan narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched out her fair and slender arm, and drew a chain knife from the void!

boom!
The next moment, the figure of the blood feud appeared in front of her!

His head was slightly lowered, and his whole body was crouched down, like a taut bowstring or a cheetah pouncing on its prey!

He stretched his body forward and to the left, pulled back with his right hand, and then thrust the double-headed spear out fiercely!

boom!
This double-headed spear is different from ordinary red-tasseled spears. Apart from not having a red tassel, the spear blade is three times larger!
The sharp blade tore through the cold air, emitting a shrill roar in the air!
"Erase the five senses!"

At the same time, a cruel voice filled with deep-seated hatred rang out!

Hongluan's figure trembled instantly, and she fell silent at that moment!
He is a sorcerer!

The attack erased Hongluan's five senses at the moment of attack!

puff-

The next moment, the huge gun blade pierced through the girl's taut, fair waist and then twisted violently!
"Um!?"

Blood feud narrowed his eyes. He saw that the flesh he had pierced was not splattered with blood and flesh as he had imagined!
It suddenly twisted and began to melt!
Illusion!

"Unity of the five senses!"

With a sudden, overwhelming hatred, he closed his eyes!
Of his five senses, four have disappeared, except for his hearing, which has been extremely enhanced!
The sounds of the wind blowing, the dust settling on the ground, and the footsteps of factory rats... were all clearly audible!
Including the sound of human breathing!

Click!

With a sudden burst of blood feud, he opened his eyes, grabbed the spearhead with his left hand, and snapped it open!
The double-headed gun then transformed into two short guns, and he swung the one in his left hand out with a fierce swing!
Whoosh!
boom! ! !
A nearby abandoned wooden barrel was instantly ripped to shreds by a pistol! Countless moldy pieces of wood flew everywhere!
when!
Right behind the wooden barrel, a chain knife swung out and smashed the short gun, revealing the figure of Hongluan.

"We've been discovered."

Hongluan said with a smile, "A Taoist priest who has become wary is no fun."

"Die to me!!"

boom!
With a furious roar, Blood Hatred raised his short spear and charged at Hongluan!
when!
next moment!
A rusty dagger got stuck on the tip of his gun!
The rugged man with a centipede-shaped scar on his left cheek gave him a cold look, then glanced at Hongluan and said, "I'll say it again."

"Stop it, all of you!"

"If you two want to die, finish this mission first!"

"Otherwise, I'll kill him!"

The sound of the rusty knife was ruthless, and rust was faintly visible all over his body.

"Hehehe, I already said last time that I wasn't going to play anymore."

Hongluan stretched out her feet, kicked aside the moldy wooden plank beneath her feet, and spread her hands towards the rusty knife. She had already swallowed the shock of that deep-seated hatred.

Right now, all he feels is anger; he doesn't like it.

"Humph!"

Blood feud glared fiercely at Hongluan, then glanced at the rusty knife, and said, "Fine!"

"I'm giving you this face! I'll chop that bitch into pieces and feed her to the dogs sooner or later!"

"Hehehe, really? I can't wait!"

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

With a deep-seated hatred, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand. The other half of the short gun he had thrown out flew back automatically and rejoined.

The rust on the rusty knife slowly disappeared.

He is a Nightmare Master, and even though his level is lower than Blood feud and Red Phoenix, the advantages of his profession determine his strength.

In particular, the Nightmare Master's skill "Materialization" is a natural counter to the Taoist, causing the Taoist's sense deprivation to become ineffective against him.

I have a deep-seated hatred for him and do not want to have a conflict with him.

Hongluan, on the other hand, walked over indifferently.

The ruthless words that Xiuhua Dao had just uttered were actually meant for Xue Hai Shen Gou to hear, firstly because Hong Luan had already indicated that they didn't need to take action.

Secondly, Hongluan wouldn't take his threats seriously.

He had been furious with Hongluan, his anger no less intense than a blood feud, but he hadn't uttered any harsh words to her. This was because Xiuhua Dao was a relatively prudent and calm person.

He doesn't make empty promises.

If I say I'll kill you, I mean I can kill you.

If you can't kill her, don't talk about it—Rusty Blade knows he can't kill Red Phoenix. A sorcerer's illusionary abilities are a natural counter to a Nightmare Master's extreme melee specialization.

In close combat, being tricked by an illusion once could lead to a fatal crisis.

"All right."

Seeing that both sides had calmed down, Xiuhua Dao slowly exhaled and said, "The elder still doesn't know that the previous mission was botched."

“You are aware of the elders’ habits.”

"Heh, I don't care. The failure of this mission is due to you who came to reinforce us."

"The only way to salvage the situation now is to kill that Luan Ke!"

"Hongluan has been involved in a battle with Luan Ke, and the Divine Concealment Society has already added him to their red list."

The rusty knife glanced at the red phoenix.

He suspected that Hongluan had made preparations in advance, and that it would be best to kill one of the Luan Ke when she made her move, so that she could directly gain merit.

If they can't kill him, it means that the Luan Ke is very powerful. Recording the battle and releasing it will definitely increase the price for killing this Luan Ke.

The Red List is a kill list specifically for those below the third tier of the official ranks. The entire list contains only fifty individuals, all of whom are geniuses.

Including Luan Ke who made the list this time, there are only three first-tier walkers on this list.

Killing him would at least prevent Hongluan from being killed by the elders, though it wouldn't completely erase her previous madness.

Correct.

She will also gain a wave of shock and anger from Elder Long. It's hard not to suspect that all of this was premeditated by Hongluan, after all, the nature of a sorcerer is cunning.

The rusty-haired man turned his head to look at the deep-seated hatred and said, "Kill him, and at least you can atone for your crime."

"Ah."

He didn't refute the deep-seated hatred; he now had to make amends before the elders paid attention to the mission.

Being tricked by Hongluan was not Hongluan's fault in the eyes of the cult elders, but rather his incompetence.

"very good."

Rusty Knife nodded and said, "Red Phoenix's snake kiss has remembered that Phoenix Guest's aura. Once you find him, don't hesitate, get there immediately, and the three of you together will kill him instantly!"

"When the time comes, you mustn't hold back!"

The rusty-sword said coldly, "You two have already been exposed by fighting last time! That kid must have someone protecting him. When the time comes, kill him and then run for your lives!"

Brush and pull!

Suddenly, the chain knife in Hongluan's hand floated up, its tip swaying towards the direction of Ice City.

"He's out."

Hongluan licked her lips and said, "Suddenly appearing within the Snake Kiss Blade's perception range doesn't seem like it's returning from an outing. It should be that [Dahan] has traveled through the heavens once."

Upon hearing this, Xiuhua raised an eyebrow and asked, "What level was he exactly last time?"

"Level 2."

"Ha, let's go!"

The rusty-haired man turned and walked towards the gate, saying, "Let's finish this quickly."

Level 2, even if he's a genius with a 30% or higher experience gain in one world, that's probably the maximum he can achieve. At most, he's just an ant in the early stages of level 3.

……

The Maybach stopped in the basement of the shopping mall.

Ji Ran and Ning Yan came down.

Because he had driven the car, it wasn't taken back as Bai family property and remained at headquarters.

Ji Ran held her phone, asking questions as she walked.

"You accessed the [Arsenal] section through the forum, right?"

"Yes."

Ning Yan changed out of her black uniform from the Special Operations Department and put on a large, light yellow down jacket, revealing the collar of her turtleneck sweater.

"it is good."

Ji Ran nodded and opened the forum on her phone.

"correct."

He glanced at Ning Yan and said, "As for clothes, can you help me look at a few stores?"

“I don’t know much about these things either. You’re a local, so can you help me choose a shop?”

"Ah, me?"

Ning Yan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "No problem!"

"Sir, what are your requirements?"

"Don't call me boss anymore... Well, if you have any requirements, it should be sturdy, with good fabric elasticity, and durable."

Good... such a simple request.

"no problem."

After receiving Ning Yan's reply, Ji Ran followed her to the mall, focusing his attention on the forum.

【Special Action Department Forum】

#Island nation's army has landed on the island and suffered heavy losses!#
#Shocking! The Bai family of Bingcheng violated regulations! Their entire clan was wiped out! The mountain was plundered!#
#The Old Immortal of the Huang Family Died from Sunburn Yesterday! His Soul Disintegrated!#
#Bounty! Bounty! High price offered to hire a Luan Ke (a type of spirit medium) or a Corpse Master, requiring at least level 3 and all skills unlocked!#
……

Ji Ran looked at the interface in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.

Among the most popular posts, there was no mention of his local temple. Ji Ran was somewhat surprised by this, as he was well aware of the terrifying power of his forging ability.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he understood.

There's a profit involved here. Most travelers can see the potential profit! Some seemingly worthless, ordinary equipment might increase in value several times, or even dozens of times, in the future!
In this kind of situation, you should definitely inform your friends first and make a profit by riding the wave, rather than spreading the word everywhere!
After all, their own local temple had only just been set up.

Thinking of this, Ji Ran knew that he could no longer hesitate. The function of the Earth God Temple was not a secret, and it would be made public today.

He directly searched on the forum for: "[Special skills in official low-level equipment]".

The moment the keyword was displayed, hundreds of posts popped up.

The official armory stores a large number of equipment and items, but few people buy them; most people rent them.

Therefore, a lot of equipment information is publicly available, making it convenient for most people to understand.

Ji Ran quickly found a post: [Arsenal Accessory Rental, Cost-Effectiveness Summary] Posted by: Sheep is Here.

[Sheep is here: I recently reviewed the accessories and items in my armory, and some of them are indeed very useful, plus they're relatively inexpensive.]

[Sheep is here: Below, I've ranked the common and rare items into tiers. As for spiritual tools and above, the deposit is too high, and there are few rentals; we'll discuss that in the next post.]

……

Ji Ran immediately began browsing.

These ornaments are unique primarily because of their special abilities. Common items are generally priced around three to four thousand, while rare treasures typically fluctuate between ten and twenty thousand.

Accessories are priced higher than regular equipment because most travelers don't change their equipment frequently; a good weapon can even last a lifetime.

Ji Ran looked at the skills and found that although these accessories had unique features, few of them possessed great power.

He hesitated for a moment, then went straight to the armory!
Your information has been entered.

[You have achieved A-level merit, granting you 8% discount on armory purchases.]

Looking at this prompt, Ji Ran's lips curled up. Not bad.

The effects of meritorious service have begun to become apparent.

This time, Ji Ran didn't intend to use these ornaments to improve himself. He simply planned to ride the wave of the forging industry and make a fortune!
The price of rare treasures is too high; even with 85,000 spiritual essence, I can't buy many.

and so--

Click, click, click!
Ji Ran quickly selected items from the common accessories, but he had already noticed that four of the top twenty items had already been bought!
Even while I was selecting the items, other people were still making purchases!

[Confirm payment of Lingyun 85090 (discounted)]

"Yes."

You have purchased 31 Common-grade equipment items.

After the discount, the average cost of a single ordinary item is less than 2800 spirit essence.

Ji Ran put away her phone with satisfaction. The more spiritual energy she had, the better. Not to mention that she also planned to upgrade her equipment soon in preparation for her trip to the island nation after the New Year.

Even a simple visit to that boat tower wouldn't be complete without exploring its spiritual essence.

Ji Ran had expected the value of this equipment to be at least double. That would be... nearly 170,000 spirit essences!

He knew that these ornaments would be worth more than they were in the future, but he needed to acquire a sum of spiritual energy before the end of the year.

Once these ornaments have multiplied in value several times over, Ji Ran believes that by then, with his increased strength, he won't care about this anymore.

If it doubles, it will be close to 200,000 spiritual essences, which should be enough... for me to forge myself, right?
"lead!"

At this moment, he had followed Ning Yan to a clothing store.

"This family often makes clothes from animal fur, which are much more durable than traditional clothing."

Ning Yan was a little excited. She had searched through all the familiar brands and finally thought of this one!
After all, the clothes required by the boss can't be bad.

After joining the Special Operations Department, I realized that there weren't many things to hide in this department. The leaders all drove Maybachs, so their clothes naturally couldn't be anything less than impeccable.

It also needs to be sturdy and durable, which isn't easy to find.

"Oh?"

Ji Ran looked up at the sign—[Zilli].

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Da da.

The two entered the shop.

Under the retro yellow light, Ji Ran looked at the silk shirts and various leathers displayed in the shop.

It didn't seem cheap, but Ji Ran still had 10,000 yuan from her mother and a month's salary from the Special Operations Department, so she didn't care how expensive it was.

Ji Ran was looking at clothes on her own when Ning Yan went to greet the shop assistant who was about to come over.

As Ning Yan was talking to the shop assistant, the assistant's expression softened instantly after she took out a black card, and she immediately turned and walked towards the clothes rack at the back.

"They said there's an outfit here that's suitable for people over 190cm!"

Ning Yan said excitedly, "This is quite rare; usually, it has to be made to order."

"how much is it?"

"forty thousand."

"hiss--"

It’s not cheap.

Ji Ran touched her phone, but that should be enough.

"Forty thousand US dollars, the shop here will exchange it according to the exchange rate."

Ji Ran's lips twitched.

Dollar?

"Miss, this dress really suits you."

"You look stunning in that, even more elegant than the stars on the red carpet."
