Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 355 The Deepest Part of the Ocean!

In Beixiong City...

ooh ooh...

Under the relentless pursuit of numerous players, the animals that had been caught in the rain outside in Beixiong City were slaughtered and scattered throughout the city, until finally, they were all wiped out.

But that's not enough...

Many animals ran into various houses after getting rained on, and some rain-soaked pets were even brought into the homes of their owners...

It will be harder to find once the rain dries up.

In addition, many people who own pets develop feelings for them and choose to keep it a secret.

Even though the whole city is warning that pets are in danger after being caught in the rain, some people won't give up until they've seen the light of day.

In this situation, the players are caught in a dilemma regarding their hunting.

But this did not escape Zhou Xiangbo's notice.

After everything outside had been cleared, he finally had a thought!
Bang!
All the animals in the city that were getting rained on, including those in their homes, were reduced to dust at his will.

Suddenly, cries of agony echoed from every corner of the city—the screams of owners who had lost their pets.

But Zhou Xiangbo didn't care about them; a short pain was better than a long one.

My day!

He Sheng was startled when he noticed this change.

He never expected that Zhou Xiangbo's strength would be so terrifying.

Where there is a will, there is an annihilation.

But why would he still ask the players to hunt those animals?
There is only one answer.

That guy is training his troops, putting the players to the test...

Looking up at the protective shield in the sky, and then at the black water raging like a storm outside.

Old Zhou's strength is incredible; he can withstand so much damage.

Huh?
Yes, with strong solar water and other restorative properties, it seems normal that they can withstand it.

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhou Xiangbo's voice came again.

Players are tasked with organizing citizens to clean up the black stagnant water throughout the city.

All the players sprang into action again...

Some use high-tech methods to remove the black water, while others use their own energy to evaporate it...

The easiest way out should be for the mage, who can simply use fire spells to vaporize everything in their path...

They didn't even leave the sewers untouched; their main goal was to clean everything thoroughly.

During this process, He Sheng also encountered a team organized by Bai Yifei 01 and the principal's children's guardians, and together they worked to clean up the entire city...

It took half a day to finish cleaning everything.

Everyone then received further instructions and went home to await further orders.

Only Zhou Xiangbo stood quietly on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, maintaining the operation of the protective barrier.

After glancing at it a few times, He Sheng returned home.

Before he even entered the house, he could already sense that Sweet Orange, Big Water Bro, Vegetable Zero, Starry Sky O Ocean, and Wood Horizon were waiting for him at his home.

Besides them, they also brought all their relatives and friends.

The room was filled with hundreds of people, creating a lively atmosphere.

Clearly, everyone sensed the danger and brought them here, feeling that this was the safest place.

After all, He Sheng was the city lord's apprentice.

Fortunately, He Sheng's house is not small, so it's not too crowded for more than a hundred people.

There was definitely no place to sit, so many people sat on the ground, their eyes filled with panic and confusion...

"Boss, what's going on? Why is it raining black rain?"

"Why did the city lord order us to kill those animals that had been drenched in the black rain?"

"They even target mosquitoes, that's outrageous."

"My sister's pet dogs were all killed, and she cried so hard..."

……

As soon as He Sheng entered, he was surrounded by Tian Daju, Xingchen O Dahai, and others, who asked him all sorts of questions.

"How would I know?" He Sheng shrugged and spread his hands.

At the same time, he looked around at everyone in the house, and they all stood up, bowing and scraping to him...

"How could you not know? You're the city lord's disciple." Sweet Orange said, somewhat speechless.

"I've been dealing with the monsters the whole time, but the city lord hasn't come down yet, so how would I know?"

"Alright, you can ask the city lord."

He Sheng said speechlessly, "He's currently resisting the black rain. Instead of asking him, why don't you check online and see if there's any news?"

Cai Cai Ling said, "We just checked, and it's raining black rain all over the world right now."

Many cities are doing what we're doing, but many more lack the expertise to stop the black rain and are now praying for it to stop.

Big Water Brother said, "The first thing all platforms say is to warn people not to go out, not to get caught in the black rain, to close doors and windows, and not to let animals that have been caught in the rain into the house."

Mu Shuiping added, "The order from above is for all players to hunt down any animals in the city that are getting rained on..."

"Nothing else?"

"Apart from these, nothing for now."

Sweet Orange then said, "I think there's definitely something wrong with this black rain."

"nonsense!"

Everyone present spoke in unison.

Next, everyone drank tea and chatted at He Sheng's home, while keeping an eye on the news on various platforms.

He Sheng didn't return to the Legend World either; given the current situation, he dared not go back to fight the old monster.

After all, family is still here.

Even with Zhou Xiangbo around, I still couldn't rest easy.

As a result, not long after, Zhou Xiangbo relayed a message to him:

"You go back to the Legendary World to cultivate first, I'll take care of things here."

"Oh, well..."

With Zhou Xiangbo's guarantee, He Sheng no longer hesitated.

After informing his family and Sweetie, he entered the legendary world once again...

Upon entering, I noticed that the safe zone was much less crowded; the once densely packed players were now reduced to just a few scattered ones.

And the topic of conversation among these people was all about the black rain...

He Sheng had only glanced at them a few times when Qiao'er and the others came over to chat privately:

"Honey! You're finally in! What's going on outside?"

Xiaomei: "Boss, what's happening outside? I heard a lot of people in the safe zone saying that it's raining terrifying black rain outside, and the world is changing..."

Yu Jie: "Second brother, are you alright? How's everything at home? If you're not feeling well, come to Xuanyuan City."

Undying Qianqian: "Second brother, how are things over there? Come to Undying City."

Qinghong: "Second brother, come to Marfa City!"

……

He Sheng was too lazy to answer, so he called them all to a private room in the inn. Of course, he still had to leave the hidden map to his apprentice.

When everyone met, there was a collective sigh as they discussed the Black Rain incident, exchanging information about each other.

There wasn't much information from He Sheng's side, except that Zhou Xiangbo was still defending the city.

Qiao'er and her apprentices didn't have much information to provide either.

However, the information provided by Yu Jie, Qing Hong, Qian Qian, and Qing Feng surprised He Sheng, especially the information provided by Qing Hong, which startled him greatly.

"My father challenged Chizuru Taro, the chairman of Chizuru's association, to a duel in the Pacific Ocean, and it seems like he punched a hole in the sky, and black rain started falling..."

"What?! They've punched a hole in the sky?!"

How could the sky have been breached?

"Is your father alright?"

He Sheng and the others were greatly alarmed.

He Sheng, in particular, was both shocked and moved at that moment.

The fact that Qinghong's father would actually challenge the guild leader of Qianhe to a duel for his sake shows that the other party still cares about him.

Qinghong smiled wryly and said, "He's fine."

That's what he said, but he added it might be something like a barrier, he wasn't sure exactly, but that's not the point.

"Huh? This isn't the main point?" Everyone's eyes widened.

"Yes, the sky was affected by the energy ripples from their battle. After a loud bang, a hole appeared, and then black rain started falling. Some strange people with black wings appeared. They claimed to be messengers of the gods and had scales on their bodies. My father said they might be from another race..." Qinghong recounted the events of Henchenshi and Chizuru Taro in detail.

This left He Sheng and the others speechless...

"You mean your father and his companion broke through some kind of barrier, attracting an unknown alien race?"

"Those alien races still had the ability to kill Chizuru Taro?!" After a while, He Sheng asked in shock.

Qiao'er and the others also opened their mouths wide, as if they could drink a bowl of delicate white rice porridge in one gulp.

As for Yu Jie, Qian Qian, and Qing Feng, they didn't react as strongly, which clearly meant that Qing Hong must have already spoken to them.

This news is truly astonishing.

He Sheng never expected the black rain to come from this place, and that an alien race would even appear...

Qinghong nodded: "Yes, but one thing is very strange. The techniques used by those alien races are actually from the Legendary World."

The Heaven-Slaying Slash, Meteor Shower, and Lightning Cinema, among others.

But their wings were black, while the wings that their father and the others synthesized were red.

"No way? They're players too?" He Sheng and the others widened their eyes again.

Qinghong nodded and said, "Yes, very likely. Unfortunately, since the black rain started falling from the sky, that area has been no longer detectable by satellites."

Therefore, no one knows where those people went after that.

We're now on high alert; all the big shots have returned to reality from the world of Legend.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this...

He Sheng lit one, and after a while he asked:

"Where exactly in the Pacific Ocean is that place?"

"It is located in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean."

"What? That deepest trench in the world?"

"Ah."

He frowned; it was in the world's deepest trench...

Mariana Trench!

It is said that the deepest part is more than 10,000 meters!
According to official data, humans have never descended to the deepest point.

That is a forbidden zone for human life.

Some scholars have said that exploring the deepest parts of the ocean is far more difficult than exploring the moon.

As for whether today's top players, such as Lao Zhou, have ever gone down there, He Sheng doesn't know.

If they also fail to reach the deepest point, then could those alien races emerge from the depths of the Mariana Trench?
He raised the question.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Immortal Qianqian was the first to shake her head:

"How is that possible? We humans can't survive there, so how could others?"

Even alien races couldn't withstand such immense water pressure, could they?

Qinghong nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's a forbidden zone for life."

Qiao'er then said, "Not necessarily. Don't deep-sea fish also live at the bottom?"

Yu Jie shook her head: "But they're not fish..."

……

The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, but no one could come to a conclusion.

Then the food and drinks arrived, and everyone ate and chatted...

"Second brother, where are you going later?" Qingfeng asked.

"I'm going to dig up the treasure map and kill the old monster, what about you guys?"

“Let’s go too, together. The family won’t let us go out now.”

"Okay, but wait a moment after you finish eating, I have something to take care of."

"how long?"

"About an hour."

He Sheng secretly stepped on Qiao'er's foot, and Qiao'er immediately understood.

Her face flushed, looking radiant and beautiful.

Fortunately, everyone had been drinking, so their flushed faces were normal.

After the meal, He Sheng teleported away.

……

“You seem troubled…” Qiao’er gently hugged him and asked.

"Yes, the world is changing too fast."

He Sheng lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and his eyes were filled with deep worry.

"It's okay, I'll always be with you." Qiao'er leaned gently against him.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll protect you."

He Sheng laughed heartily.

But as the events of the day flashed through his mind, he felt that perhaps there wouldn't be such peaceful days ahead.

Previously, although many people disliked him, Lao Zhou stood up for him.

Now that a powerful alien race has appeared, can Lao Zhou still protect him?

That's hard to say.

Who knows, if a major battle breaks out, Lao Zhou will have to go to support the fight. Who will protect this home then?

Even if Lao Zhou's personal guards continue to protect him, what about in the future?

The alien race sounds too powerful...

Chizuru Taro was able to fight Qinghong's father, Henchenshi, to a standstill, yet they were both killed.

Will Lao Zhou be able to protect him in the future?

This made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

I'm still too weak...

With this thought in mind, why did He Sheng rise from his seat?

He didn't go to find Yu Jie and the others first, but instead went to clear the Tower of Babel once.

When he killed the Hellfire Chicken in the Tower of Babel again, he looked at the broken divine weapon that had dropped on the ground with frustration!
This is the fifth Fallen Divine Weapon!

He had been on the international line for over a week. A few days ago, he was doing well killing Nightmare Dark Temple chickens, and various Dark Temple divine weapons kept dropping.

He was still hoping to quickly synthesize the Dark Temple Divine Weapon again.

The Demon King Slash can be further synthesized.

But then things went awry, and it kept dropping rare and powerful weapons.

However, even if he has enough, he probably won't synthesize them for the time being.

At level 40, you can equip level 1 divine artifacts and ghost artifacts; at level 50, you can equip level 2 divine artifacts and ghost artifacts.

If the Ghost King Slash is synthesized again, it will definitely be at level two.

He probably won't get it.

After clearing the Tower of Babel, he and Yu Jie and the others began searching for treasures all over the world.

However, he also recruited six apprentices, including Qiao'er.

During the treasure hunt, whenever a monster spawns in the map where Qiao'er and the others are, they teleport there to fight it.

He's the one who makes the most of it, so of course he gets to do it.

After you're done hitting him, have Yu Jie and the others take him back.

He and the other four girls, including Yu Jie, were digging for treasure maps together, which increased their chances of finding something, since they were all digging on the same map.

When the treasure monster is unearthed, the four women will clear the area around it.

Shoo the people away so that He Sheng can fight the old monster in peace.

As a result, when they first encountered the treasure of the Hell Zuma Lord in the seventh level of Hell Zuma, they were given a huge fright.

He Sheng and his babies finished the battle in less than five seconds.

"Second brother, how much damage are you dealing right now? Is it over already?"

"Was it three seconds?"

"Isn't this too fast?"

"Haha! My strength has improved a little bit, don't worry about it..." He Sheng could only laugh it off.

The four women certainly wouldn't dwell on this issue, but the shock they felt was indescribable...

After accompanying Yu Jie and the others on their treasure hunt for a while, He Sheng finally suggested heading to the Pet Canyon.

"Good night"
