The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 425 Brothers and Sisters Come to Meet (asking for monthly tickets)
Times of silence, like joy, are always very short.

Everyone looked at Xu Shu and Gu Yueming with a hint of gossip and ambiguity, and they all speculated that there might be some unspeakable secret between the two.

However, Xie Xiaochan had already suggested: "Well, now that everyone is here, let's set off without further delay! Brother Ning, I'll have to trouble you along the way."

"It's my duty." Ning Zhaoxuan quickly responded with a few polite words.

With this interruption, everyone naturally turned their attention back to the main business, and no one paid any more attention to "the story that must be told between the man in the strange way and my aunt."

A group of nine people walked to the dock. At the shore, Xie Xiaochan stopped, took out a small fluorescent handkerchief and spread it in the air, saying: "Everyone, after signing this letter of surrender, we will all be good comrades who will stick together through thick and thin. We must help each other and take care of each other!"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Xu Shu, as if asking him for her credit for rescuing him, meaning that without her, he would have died here today.

Xu Shu's mouth twitched, pretending not to see it, he walked forward first and left his name on the light curtain: "Gu Pan, third-level dragon elephant".

The Letter of Allegiance is a special battle death recorder. After signing it, if anyone in the team dies, the upgraded drivers of other teammates will share this "death replay".

This item is generally used for reclaiming wasteland. Although we are not reclaiming wasteland today, the entrance to the ruins is very far away from the border, so this layer of protection is naturally necessary.

The others stepped forward without hesitation and left their real names on the light screen.

After signing the "letter of surrender", Ning Zhaoxuan took off an amulet from his neck and threw it into the water. In an instant, it turned into a nearly 20-meter-long ship.

"Everyone, get on board!" Ning Zhaoxuan was the first to step onto the boat with a cigarette in his mouth.

With a shout, his body suddenly became muscular, his head became increasingly round and pointed, and his neck, back of hands and other parts of his skin were covered with a layer of fish scales - this was the "fish-man" form.

In this state, the 'ferryman's' strength, physical fitness, etc. will be greatly improved, and he will have the ability to control water. He can control the boat alone, and by consuming two bowls of rice for every 100 kilometers, he can sail for a long time without feeling tired.

Xu Shu looked around and found that from time to time a group of people entered the dock port a little further away, and also left on this small boat taken out of the arms of the "ferryman".

"It seems that it's popular among all ferrymen to refine their boats into magic tools? Strange, I clearly killed a third-level ferryman before, how come he didn't drop any magic tools?" Xu Shu was amazed, but also a little dissatisfied.

Ning Zhaoxuan controlled the water and set sail. The ship rushed out at a speed that completely violated fluid dynamics, and the speed was increased to more than 100 knots in just a few seconds.

The entrances of the large-scale ruins [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] are scattered in the sea area 30 to 70 kilometers away from 200° to ° east-northeast of Dongyi Island, covering a very large area.

Any small island, reef, or even turtle shell or conch you encounter at sea may be a secret entrance to the ruins.

Most of the entrances discovered so far are in fixed locations, but there are very few that are mobile; and the corresponding locations in the ruins may be fixed or random, so there are four possible permutations and combinations.

The place Xie Xiaochan was going to this time was an entrance with an uncertain external location but a fixed location inside the ruins. The information she bought from others at a high price showed that the place was more than 300 kilometers away from the border line in a straight line, but at Ning Zhaoxuan's boat speed, it could be reached in less than two hours.

Of course, this speed looks intimidating, but in the eyes of Xu Shu, who is equivalent to a human-shaped high-speed rail, it is nothing special. Of course, the same cannot be said for land and water.

Looking at the endless Sea of ​​Death and the lifeless water surface that was gradually turning darker, Xu Shu became slightly alert.

As we all know, the 'Sea of ​​Death' is a very special one among the five seas, and its most famous rule is the "Deep Diving Rule".

This is the standard used to judge the degree of pollution danger below the water surface. Every ten meters is a node, representing the limit that a transcendent can withstand at a certain stage.

Xu Shu once went into the water to experience it himself, and his body exploded and died at about 40 meters. The feeling of being surrounded and watched by countless monsters is still fresh in his memory.

After observing for a few minutes and making sure that he was not attacked by any possible monsters from the bottom of the water, Xu Shu relaxed a little and leaned against the window to take a rest like everyone else.

It was only then that he had time to chat with Gu Yueming.

"Aunt, long time no see! Congratulations on your promotion!" Xu Shu moved to sit next to Gu Yueming and spoke into her secret passage.

More than a month ago, Gu Yueming was still a "Witch" in the second stage, but when they met again, he had become a "Fate-teller" in the third stage. Xu Shu was very discerning, so there was no need for him to ask why the other party had not replied to him for so long.

It was obvious that he was busy making a breakthrough and was in seclusion before.

Of course, my aunt has been at the second level for some time. Most likely, she has accumulated enough experience and was promoted naturally, which is considered a normal level.

Gu Yueming was dozing in the cabin with her chin propped up. When she looked up, she saw Xu Shu sitting next to her. She looked around nervously, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she smiled and replied, "Yeah, long time no see, Xiaoshu. And congratulations on being on the list. Your aunt was shocked when she saw it."

"Hey, it's all thanks to my friends, it's just an empty reputation." Xu Shu shook his head and asked, "How is Gu Pan doing recently? I'm not her friend, and we haven't been in touch for a long time."

Gu Yueming's beautiful eyes turned and she looked at him jokingly: "You miss your teacher, right? Hehe, she's fine. She's been in seclusion recently to break through to the second level. When she comes out, I'll ask you to form a team and let her join you."

"So that's it!" After Gu Yueming said this, Xu Shu suddenly realized and didn't say what he originally wanted to ask her to contact Gu Pan.

Come to think of it, when we first parted, the difference in cultivation between my teacher and I was only less than ten levels.

Now, a month has passed, and the gap has rapidly widened to more than 20 levels. It is really sad to think about it.

'Alas, as expected, the road of genius is destined to be lonely! Maybe I will meet many people on the same road in my life, but how many of them can keep up with me? In the end, I am the only one who climbs to the top! This is called seeing all the mountains from a high place! This is called being at the top is lonely! '

Xu Shu sighed slightly in his heart, and for a moment he felt as if he had seen through the world.

He didn't talk any more, but focused on observing the Sea of ​​Death, even though the surface of the sea was almost the same.

After more than an hour's sailing, everyone arrived at their destination safely.

This is a place that looks like a mine, but in the Sea of ​​Death, this mine is destined to be abandoned because no one can dive below 50 meters at any level, and the drilling site is no exception.

Visible to the naked eye, some broken bones can be seen in the mine, and messy claw marks are left in the deep pit.

Based on these traces, we can imagine that an extremely terrible attack may have occurred here in the past. Those monsters that appeared inexplicably slaughtered and ate the workers here and then left.

However, under the general trend of disaster, no one cared about the lives of these people and they were directly buried in history.

It was not until the development of the Death Sea ruins that more and more extraordinary people began to search for the entrance to the ruins and sweep up bargains nearby. These dusty past events were discovered, but no one was interested.

There was not even a moment to mourn for the refugees. Xie Xiaochan blew a whistle, and bubbles gurgled from the flooded area under the watchtower, and a pitch-black fish head emerged.

"Finally you're here! I thought you wanted to refuse the deal!" The man climbed ashore on his own.

This is a second-level "deep diver". Only they can disguise themselves as monsters through mermanification, hide in shallow water, and not be attacked by monsters.

Xu Shu suspected that the calm journey had something to do with this.

"Enough of small talk. Where's the entrance?" Xie Xiaochan took out a small bag and threw it to the "deep diver".

The latter opened it, took a look, and put it away with satisfaction: "Follow me!"

Under his leadership, everyone quickly entered a control room in the well, about 15 meters deep underwater.

In the not-so-large space, a small golden door was suspended in the air, causing the air to fluctuate slightly. Above it was a line of special characters that read "Yin Tu·Chou Gen Yue Yang: Da Han"

Xu Shu's pupils shrank slightly. This was clearly an entrance to the ruins that had been lit with an incense burner and opened!

After a little thought, Xu Shu suddenly understood what was going on.

This "deep diver" in front of him, after finding the entrance to the ruins, began to look for people who needed it to sell it. After confirming the transaction, he used the cheapest Heart Fire Incense Burner to lock the place up to prevent it from being robbed by other people who came to explore and affect his trading reputation.

It may sound confusing, but it is easy to understand if you put it in another way, that is, "ticket scalpers"!
"Damn, city people are so cunning." Xu Shu was really surprised. He had never thought there was such a way to make money before.

The scalper "Deep Diver" took Xie Xiaochan's money and immediately moved his own incense burner away. He smiled and said, "The money and goods are settled. I wish you all good luck in martial arts and I hope the array will protect you all!"

After saying that, he dived into the sea, like a nimble fish, and disappeared into the sea in a short while.

Xie Xiaochan took over this position, took out a three-layer furnace from the storage bag, which was definitely worth a lot of money just by looking at its appearance, and began to arrange the scene and prepare the entrance. ——The entry threshold of the ruins has an upper limit, but no lower limit. For example, the highest level of the ruins of [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] is only level three, but you can also enter at level one or two, but you can't enter at more than level three.

Xu Shu looked back and suddenly asked curiously, "Aunt, you said this guy is doing this kind of human flesh occupation, but his own strength is also average. Isn't he afraid that other explorers will kill him and rob him? Or that we will rob him and take his place without paying?"

"?" Gu Yueming was stunned for a moment, and looked Xu Shu up and down with a puzzled expression. After a while, he said, "You... don't know?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows: "Hey, from what you said, is there something strange?"

Gu Yueming bit his lip and said after a while: "It is an unwritten rule in the Sea of ​​Death that if humans kill each other, it is easy to cause changes in the sea water under their feet, and attract some monsters that usually hide in the dark.

"So, unless something really valuable is involved, almost no one would take the risk and do this kind of high-risk, low-return thing."

"Ah? Damn, there is such a thing?" Xu Shu was once again amazed.

Gu Yueming was quite speechless and said, "Before you asked me, I really didn't expect that you didn't even know this."

"I'm grateful. This is the first time I've heard of this. There's no discussion of this on the Internet!" Xu Shu smacked his lips, thinking that the 'Sea of ​​Death' guy was quite kind. He went to such great lengths to prevent humans from fighting among themselves. This was really a very ethical act.

But why does it feel a bit scary when you think about it?

Before he could think about it, a cluster of flames suddenly rose up in front of him like the dawn in the dark night. Xie Xiaochan clapped her hands and said, "It's time to start!"

After saying that, she took the initiative to hold Xu Shu's hand, directed everyone to form a circle, and began to dance the "sacrificial dance" together.

"Burn incense to offer sacrifice to the Eastern Emperor, light the furnace to offer sacrifice to the Supreme!"

"The blue cloud clothes and the white rainbow dress, the three souls are forever solid and unharmed——"

"Line up, help me!"

brush!
In an instant, the flames in the incense burner surged, and soil was generated in the fire. Layers of soil accumulated into blocks and turned into a special bunker.

The blocks overlapped and merged to construct a new, illusory yet real light door, which silently replaced the previous door.

On the plaque above, the eight mysterious characters "Yin Tu·Chou Gen Yue Yang: Da Han" are arranged on it, hanging quietly, as if looking down at the world from the sky.

"Come in!"

Xie Xiaochan took the lead, followed closely by Xu Shu. A group of nine people entered one after another and were engulfed and enveloped by the golden light.

Everything was as quiet as before, becoming inconspicuous;
In front of Xu Shu, his vision was covered by strong light, as if he was falling from a high altitude.

After a few breaths, he was on solid ground and appeared inside the ruins, in a place that looked like a closed restaurant.

The chandelier above was shaky and it was night outside, so the light in the restaurant was very dim. The bar not far away was covered in blood, so it didn't look like a safe place.

"This is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, a place I have entered many times before!"

"I don't know where this place is. Have I been here before?"

Xu Shu took a deep breath and looked around.

For some reason, he felt that the surroundings seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't be sure whether he had really been to this place before.

After all, he had visited so many places, and in two lifetimes, spanning more than 40 years, it was impossible for him to remember every detail.

While he was observing, Xie Xiaochan shook her ponytails, pulled out a huge brush that was more than one meter long and put it on her shoulder, and said domineeringly:

"Everyone, be careful! This place is called Shibuya. Although it belongs to the outer circle, there are still many evil spirits wreaking havoc. Don't be careless! Follow me and gather at the pier here. Prepare to use the trigger to reach the destination."

This is actually Shibuya? Xu Shu was slightly surprised. He was actually quite familiar with this place. Before Kamiya Ichiru became a sorcerer, he had made a name for himself in Shibuya.

"Yes!" Everyone did not delay. They took a step back at once and stood behind Xu Shu and Yan Shan, letting the two "dragon elephants" take the front.

It is worth mentioning that there were seven people standing behind Xu Shu, and Yan Shan was alone.

Such an obvious contrast made his face flush red.

Xu Shu almost laughed out loud when he saw this, and said hastily, "Don't mess around. I'll lead the charge, and Brother Yan Shan will cover the rear!"

"Okay, I have no objection." Yan Shan nodded.

Everyone changed their formation immediately. Xu Shu took the lead and together with Yan Shan, they protected the other teammates in the middle. At first glance, it looked like the "Eagle Catches Chicken" formation that children play.

"We should be in the southeast now. We need to go to a place called Hokkaido to use the trigger. Of course, we need to confirm the situation outside first." Xie Xiaochan spread out the topographic map of the ruins that she had prepared long ago and marked a location on it.

"Then let's set off. The sea is even more dangerous during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, so we'd better take the land route." said the ferryman Ning Zhaoxuan.

Everyone acted without hesitation. Xu Shu took the lead, and the rest, including Gu Yueming, Jiang Biyun, Xiao Yingrong and others, each alerted a direction and quickly rushed out the door.

After all, there are nine third-level masters. Although one still has to be extremely careful in this relic, there is no need to be timid in doing anything.

However, before he had taken two steps, the Butcher Ainz suddenly said in a deep voice, "Wait, something is approaching, be careful... overhead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of blood suddenly fell from the ceiling.

Whoosh! Whizzing!

Dozens of tall and thin figures fell from the ceiling, twisted and squirmed on the ground, slowly stood up, and surrounded the crowd.

They were wearing suits, with their heads above the neck missing, looking like a group of headless ghosts.

Seeing the enemy rushing towards them, fighting was inevitable, so everyone did not retreat and immediately got into position.

"Haha, let me see if the famous Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has any level left."

Xu Shu curled the corners of his mouth, clicked on the Taichu Scroll to activate the [Super Dimension Mode], and moved his neck.

Before he could make a move, several "headless ghosts" in front of him suddenly started to twitch their hands and feet, began to dance, and made strange noises.

"Move~Dance~"

"Move~Dance~"

“Welcome to the natural bartender~”

"For the great~Kamiya...First-class...Mr.!"

"Give it a salute!"

“Hehehe~Hehehe!”

The vague sounds of singing and dancing came into my ears, and a headless man in a suit, dancing like a robot, rushed up with his fangs and claws bared.

Xu Shu's expression suddenly froze, and he was extremely shocked.

"What the hell, why is it here?!"
