Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"I wonder just how potent this lucky potion is?"

"Or rather, to what extent can it be done?"

Li Xiao shook his head, dismissing the absurd scenarios he had imagined.

At the same time, he tossed the tiny bottle, no bigger than a thumb, to Zheng Zha.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha quickly and carefully caught it.

However, before they could even get comfortable with each other, a hand reached out.

Zheng Zha glanced at Chu Xuan's matter-of-fact expression and handed it over again with great helplessness.

Seeing this, Saito chuckled and asked from the side:

"Ahem, by the way, Zhan Lan, how are these materials?"

"I don't know what these magicians were thinking. Their vault is full of strange and unusual things."

"Why don't you give me an instruction manual?"

"There are also a few people who don't know what they were thinking, putting safes in the vault, and most importantly, these safes don't contain anything good."

Zhan Lan tapped her smooth forehead and casually said, "Actually, it's quite normal."

"It's like in the real world, people deposit things that belong to them but don't actually belong to them into these anonymous vaults."

"So it's inevitable that there's some mess, but unsurprisingly, these things are all quite valuable, like this potion and the hourglass."

Saito Hajime wondered:

"Um, what do you mean by 'belonging to oneself but not belonging to oneself'?"

Zhan Lan smiled and pointed to a small hill on one side.

"Take these things for example. They may not seem to belong to us, but they do now."

Saito and his companions were stunned: "Isn't this just double-crossing?"

Zhan Lan shrugged: "Do you think those people would put their legally earned, hard-earned money in some invisible and intangible vault?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just set up a secret stash in the basement?"

"Of course, except for those magicians who died unexpectedly."

"I think these materials are for those shady magicians."

"Another point is that, compared to the contents of a vault, sometimes trading a key is much simpler."

"This also means that Gringotts Wizarding Bank is not exactly a clean entity."

Zhan Lan's words also opened up a new world for some naive people in the Zhongzhou team.

Li Xiao added:
"And don't forget, the fact that Dumbledore could put the Philosopher's Stone here is enough to show how precious these ores, metals, bark, and so on are."

The fact that Xiao Honglu's smile hadn't stopped since the beginning was the best proof of that.

This person nodded directly and followed Zhan Lan's words, saying:

"That's right. Although there are still many traits we don't understand, the materials we've already obtained are comparable to what we got in the previous team battles."

"This is largely thanks to the fact that the other three teams probably didn't have any enhancements for refining or creating magical cultivation items."

"Several times they saw these materials but didn't even go in, and just let us have them."

Li Xiao nodded and said:

"If we're judging by the quantity we take, we're definitely number one, but all three teams are aiming for the finished magical items."

"If you calculate it that way, their gains shouldn't be small either."

The people who entered the vault all nodded.

Putting everything else aside, in the last five minutes, the people on the other teams could barely contain their laughter.

Chu Xuan added:

"These materials still need to be categorized and screened to verify their properties and uses."

"So everyone, let's move on to the second item."

After saying that, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan worked together to plan out all the spoils of this trip.

The entire Zhongzhou team sat down together.

Zheng Zha then stopped smiling and nodded at Chu Xuan.

"Let's begin, Chu Xuan."

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said calmly:

"This is the combat data that Moss and I collected from the beginning to the end, which includes almost all the combat capabilities of the three teams that are publicly known."

As Chu Xuan spoke, beams of light illuminated the surroundings.

One by one, segmented three-dimensional images appeared in front of everyone on the Zhongzhou team.

At the very front were the captains of the three teams.

Arctic team captain, Gunnir.

Neos, captain of the Nan Yan Zhou team.

Honda, captain of the Japanese team.

"Gonniel, the enhanced version should be the Frost-Frost Fruit from the double A-rank side storyline, with a strength comparable to Zheng Zha's current bloodline."

However, due to the genetic lock, he can only utilize about 70% of his abilities.

"But he can coordinate with the ice-attribute mage in the team. It should be similar to Zhu Wen's possession amplification. The two of them can freeze the fire dragon in the vault within thirty seconds."

"This fire dragon's strength should be between double C and B level."

Zhan Lan pointed to one of the images and said:

"And the wide-range ultimate move released in Diagon Alley shows that the opponent is very strong in the application of ice."

"I think everyone was quite surprised by the result at the time."

Zheng Zha raised his hand: "I'd like to add something. Chu Xuan, could you please bring up the footage of Gunnir using the Ice Shield at the end?"

As the light and shadow flicker.

"Yes, that's it. Look at the bead in his hand."

"It should also be a kind of item that can amplify oneself."

"The ice shield he used back then was comparable to high-level defensive items, probably because of this bead."

"I think it's most likely a one-time use item."

"It can greatly enhance the effect of the released skill."

"This is just the defensive effect. If it's about combat ability, I think this boost should be no weaker than a self-created skill."

"I think, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Gunnir should be the strongest of the three teams."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chu Xuan pointed to the second one.

"The captain of the Japanese team, Honda, has a simple enhancement method. His bloodline is unknown, but it should be related to his physical attributes."

"The abilities that have been demonstrated so far all come from the biological symbiote, which is what we call venom."

"In a way, the symbiote works just like Zhu Wen wearing bio-armor."

"And this too."

Chu Xuan took out a vacuum-sealed glass jar from his person.

Within it was a clump of writhing black particles, which would sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, and sometimes transform into other shapes.

Xiao Honglu exclaimed in surprise, "This is a fragment of a symbiote?"

Chu Xuan nodded: "This is a fragment that was splashed off when we were attacked by a magic spell during the battle at the bank entrance."

This shows that he hasn't had the symbiote for very long and hasn't yet fully mastered or adapted to it.

That's why this situation occurs.

"This is one of the reasons why I would say that he should also have other bloodlines, and this bloodline is not weak, and the ability of this bloodline should be inclined towards physical enhancement and close combat." "I speculate that this Venom was probably enhanced and exchanged for in his last horror movie, and it hasn't been long."

Zhu Wen then said:
"Venom? Is that from a horror movie? Can you tell me about it? I don't think I've ever seen it."

Chu Xuan stood up and waved his hand, speaking as the holographic projection changed:
"In the horror movie Venom, the symbiote is a special organic life form from outer space."

Although this life form is powerful and has outstanding effects, it needs to combine with a host to survive.

This can then grant the host life form a powerful boost.

With Chu Xuan's explanation.

In the projection, a black, viscous oil-like substance continuously infested the fish, horses, eagles, and people.

Every living being that was enveloped in the black substance underwent a tremendous change, both in appearance and in the speed and power it displayed.

"In the movie, a reporter who is in poor health and even ill for many years can easily exert ten times the speed and strength of an ordinary person after symbiosis without any training."

"In addition, this symbiote can quickly recover from fatal injuries, thus enhancing its regenerative abilities, making it extremely difficult to kill."

"And most importantly, this thing can become stronger as the host becomes stronger."

Zhu Wen, who was standing next to her, nodded thoughtfully.

Because this thing seems to be exactly the opposite of what it appears to be.

The main areas of enhancement are mental strength, intelligence, and reaction speed.

The other side amplifies strength, speed, and cell activity.

Zhan Lan analyzed:
"Based on the information we have so far, when the three teams first contacted the East American teams, it was probably the Japanese team that was the main one."

"However, this time something unexpected happened. That man didn't play by the rules and went on a killing spree."

"I said that this person who unlocked the fourth-order gene lock is still alive."

"The captain of the Japanese team must be relying on this symbiote."

"Because I remember there was a time in Venom when the protagonist was pierced through the heart by the villain, and Venom was able to revive him, which is enough to show how precious this enhancement is."

Oh, no.

It could also be due to his bloodline, or perhaps both.

Zhan Lan nodded and muttered to herself.

"What about this?"

"If I remember correctly, he didn't make a move, did he?"

Zheng Zha pointed to the person in the middle, who was none other than Neos, the captain of the Nan Yan Zhou team, who was the least talkative and most mysterious of the three teams.

Chu Xuan was brought to justice for his performance during the Gringotts Wizarding Bank operation:

"That's right, this person didn't make a move at all."

"They probably deliberately didn't want to reveal their enhanced abilities."

Zhan Lan shrugged and said:

"I can understand that. After all, our four teams are only in a cooperative relationship right now, and it's not just him. There are also players in other teams who haven't shown any enhanced attributes from beginning to end."

"For example, this one, and in our team..."

Chu Xuan pointed his finger into the air.

The last image left was of a man and a woman.

The man is Neos, the captain of the Nan Yan Zhou team that Zheng Zha just pointed out.

A captain who makes Hoffer, who possesses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, obey his every command.

But the woman was beyond everyone's expectations.

She was a girl from the Dongying team, the least noticeable and weakest of all the reincarnators.

Hashimoto!

"What's wrong with her? Why is she singled out?"

"Chu Xuan, you're not trying to say she's also a powerful expert, are you?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right? The Japanese team is the weakest of the five teams. They already have their captain. Although we don't know Honda's lineage, he's probably worth A-level."

"And there's also a Death Knight member among them. There shouldn't be any other strong individuals among them, right?"

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, Chen Zilong and Saito Hajime both nodded.

After all, this way of thinking is quite reasonable.

The five teams, ranked from weakest to strongest, are: Dongying Team, Nanyanzhou Team, Beibingzhou Team, Dongmeizhou Team, and Zhongzhou Team.

Based on their own abilities and the strength of the player from the East American team.

As the deductions continue, and considering the strength revealed by some members of other teams, the number of strong players on the Japanese team is not large.

Moreover, even if it were true, Zheng Zha didn't believe it was this little girl named Hashimoto.

Chu Xuan did not explain.

Instead, it began to magnify the scene in front of the vault door.

Two contrasts with the scene inside the vault,
Li Xiao, who had discovered something, was the first to stand up.

"This is... a four-dimensional space bag!!!"

Finally, Chu Xuan's image was zoomed in and centered on the girl's breasts.

A semi-oval, pure white object, which they initially thought was a pattern on clothing, appeared before the eyes of everyone on the Zhongzhou team.

Even if it wasn't obvious at first, now, with Li Xiao's words...

Zheng Zha also realized what was happening.

The man said blankly:
"Uh, what's a four-dimensional space bag?"

"An item from the Main God Space?"

Li Xiao sat down again, a wry smile on his face, and said:
"Yes, it's a spatial item in the Main God Space, a B-level side quest item."

"Actually, it's the Doraemon one, Zheng Zha. You should know it. This gadget has a larger storage space than our space bag and Gungnir's space bracelet!"

"And it can also store living things."

Zheng Zha remembered what Li Xiao had said and nodded in agreement.

"Um, so what?"

Zhan Lan nodded:

"What else could it be? A high-level space device is not suitable for the Japanese team's situation."

"It's like asking if you would buy a car if you thought a bunch of toddlers could just walk."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of a small team of breeders, but the Japanese team doesn't seem like it."

"Now I'm starting to believe Chu Xuan's deduction; the Japanese team has probably inherited a fortune."

After Zhan Lan finished speaking, Li Xiao focused his gaze on the woman in the image.

"Alright, we've covered the three teams that Chu Xuan needs to pay attention to. Now it's time to talk about the fourth team!"

Chu Xuan nodded. He had only discovered this four-dimensional space bag; apart from that, there was nothing else about Hashimoto that was noteworthy.

Of course, one could also say that the disguise was good enough.

"Finally, it's Zhao Zhuikong, captain of the East America team!"

After he finished speaking, the screen went blank, leaving only one person.

A smiling, long-haired young man.

Most of the Zhongzhou team members looked at Li Xiao's side rather than at the image in front of them.

The little girl who never showed any extra expression from beginning to end.

Even Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and looked at this person, seemingly waiting for something.

A while passed like this. (End of Chapter)
