The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 439: Encountering a Strong Man, the Alliance of the Remaining Team (asking for monthly tickets)

The wind in [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] is always noisy.

Mixed in with this were the shrill screams coming from somewhere unknown, which were hard to tell whether they were from ghosts fishing or desperate humans.

Unlike small ruins that have only one entrance and exit, large ruins have multiple entrances and exits.

Therefore, encountering other people within the ruins is not a particularly rare occurrence.

Especially for popular large-scale ruins like [One Hundred Demons Night Parade], it is said that the number of people "online at the same time" may even reach hundreds or thousands when the number is at its highest.

However, the ruins are full of dangers. In such a sensitive place, anyone who suddenly encounters another stranger will instinctively become alert.

Xu Shu is no exception.

"Black eating black" is an unspoken agreement in large-scale historical sites.

As the old saying goes, if I can’t handle the devil’s cave, how can I handle you?
Therefore, amidst the howling cold wind, the gaze between Xu Shu and the dragon elephant on the rooftop opposite did not last long.

He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

But he decided to strike first.

Then, as the strong and powerful waist swayed slightly and as the mermaid gritted her teeth and persevered, a golden spear slowly condensed and took shape behind Xu Shu, containing terrifying energy that made people's heart palpitate.

The air gradually became stalemate and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gu Yueming's heart shuddered as she had the honor of witnessing this move more than once before. It was obvious that Xu Shu had already decided to kill her.

She cooperated tacitly. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and used the "Qi Healing Technique" on Xu Shu, and at the same time silently retreated to a safe place.

At this time, the extremely strong "dragon elephant" on the opposite side was still staring at this side.

Xu Shu took a deep breath, and felt confident in his heart - not only had he completed the accumulation of power for "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", the accumulation of power for "Gazing" was also enough.

Even with the power of the Poison Gaze Explosion, it is still not possible to directly kill a "Dragon Elephant" of the same level, but it is enough to make the opponent become stiff for a short period of time and unable to put up any more resistance.

Then he could add another shot of "Sun-Chasing Golden Spear" with a high probability of instantly killing the enemy. This was the confidence that Xu Shu gained from defeating the Three Friends of Winter in a single fight.

As the two "fish-riding dragon elephants" stared at each other for half a minute, the mermaid groaned slightly, "Gu~" as if she was a little overwhelmed.

And Xu Shu also opened his lips slightly, and was about to detonate "Gaze" from a distance!
At this critical moment, the man opposite suddenly burst into laughter:
"Hahahahaha! Brother, we're on the same side, don't do anything! But what's up with that thorn on your head? Why is the head so pointy?"

The exaggerated, word-by-word laughter reverberated in the night sky.

But the monsters wandering on the streets didn't hear it at all. It can be seen that the sound had a special skill. It did not dissipate around, but was gathered into a beam and accurately transmitted to Xu Shu.

"..." Xu Shu frowned and forced himself to disperse his gaze, thinking that this guy didn't seem to want to fight.

But he is a little weird. Isn't it just a mermaid's fish body that turned into a human body? What's so funny?

He was about to ask, but Gu Yueming, who was standing next to him, heard the laughter, raised his head and looked over there for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Oh, it turned out to be him!"

"Huh? Do you know my aunt?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows. Since she was an acquaintance, he simply released the Sun-Chasing Golden Spear. Keeping it tense all the time was a heavy burden on his body.

Then Gu Yueming shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

"..."Xu Shu almost stumbled and looked at the other person with complicated eyes.

Can you please stop panting when you talk? Why are you the same as Gu Pan?
Gu Yueming didn't know Xu Shu was scolding her, and continued: "But I have heard of this person. This person is called Brother Haha. However, logically speaking, you should have heard of his name as well."

Xu Shu was confused. "Is he famous?"

"Yes, he is super famous on the Shengge network! No, you should know it, after all, you are the same kind of people..." Gu Yueming said half seriously and half doubtfully.

"Who is this person?" Xu Shu was really shocked. He "should" know this person?
This... could it be that he is a strong person on the Earth List?
Shit, did I almost shoot the demigod just now?
Damn, it was a close call, I almost lost my life!

Xu Shu was scared and relieved at first, but then he thought something was wrong.

The fourth level has exceeded the upper limit of large ruins, so it is impossible to enter! The strongest of this person is only the third level.

Who is on the list? Judging from my aunt's attitude, it's almost my fault that I don't know him... Could it be the number one on the list?

While Xu Shu was suspicious, Gu Yueming nodded and said, "That's right! He is the most famous No. 1 on the Qingyun List in the past three years, a star-level existence who fell on the entire Internet like a comet, nicknamed [Immortal Grip] Yan Huoxing!

"He was knocked off the list a while ago and immediately removed from the list. Everyone thought he was killed, but when he showed up later, we found out that he had made a breakthrough."

"Ah? What the hell?" Xu Shu's expression was a little distorted.

This name sounds familiar, but I just can't remember it right away.

"Strange, Xu Shu, don't you even know this? When you became, uh..." Gu Yueming was even more surprised. After a pause, he said, "When Qingyun was ninth, many people compared you to him."

"There is such a thing?" Xu Shu was stunned. He really had no idea about this. He was busy entering Penglai at that time, so how could he have time to read this?

Gu Yueming said, "Yes, you should know that in the past ten years, you two are the only two extraordinary people in the Path of the Warriors who have made it into the top ten of Qingyun. At that time, many people called you twin stars, and some even thought that you two were made for each other."

“What the hell???” Xu Shu almost felt that there was something wrong with his language knowledge system.

Are you crazy? How can a person who can say such things be alive?

"Of course I know you, your aunt. Your interests and hobbies are very normal. There is no suspicion in this regard at all." Gu Yueming said seriously.

"Then I really want to thank you, aunt, for your understanding!" Xu Shu said speechlessly.

After Gu Yueming's explanation, Xu Shu finally remembered who this person was.

It turns out that the visitor is none other than the well-known Internet celebrity, the first one to leave the list by being kicked off rather than actively promoted since the establishment of the Qingyun list. He was once the number one on the list, but now is the shame of Qingyun, the immortal grip of the fire!

It is said that he used to be a very cheerful and generous person. He would often laugh before he appeared, and people nicknamed him "Happy Fire" Brother Haha.

Unfortunately, ever since his Waterloo, he has become less fond of smiling and often has a stern and gloomy face.

Now it seems that this is obviously a rumor, and Brother Haha is still the same laughing Brother Haha.

Unfortunately, the Internet is like this, it doesn’t care what the facts are. Now Yan Huoxing’s nickname has changed.

He is now called "Frostmourne" Wuwu brother, and he is also labeled as a little girl who likes to cry, so the two hit it off and gradually evolved and simplified it to "Wuying brother".

Such experiences can make anyone who hears about them sad and sees them cry, and it makes people sigh that life is full of ups and downs.

Of course, this is what Gu Yueming said, and this is what people on the internet think of this Brother Haha or Brother Wuying.

Xu Shu disagreed.

In his opinion, this Yan Huoxing would never fall into poverty. The talent, character, ability, and resources of a person who could reach the top of the Qingyun Ranking must be something that ordinary people could never hope to achieve in their lifetime.

You have to know that even someone as strong as Xu Shusan who had two legendary paths only ranked ninth in the Qingyun Ranking ranking competition.

Although the rapid improvement in strength and "insufficient ranking points" played a big role in this.

But there is no doubt that this 'Grasp of Immortality' is absolutely genuine and a rare existence!

And turning into this kind of "comedian" image that is laughed at by the whole network will not only not have any impact on it, but it is a considerable protective color.

Xu Shu saw this very clearly.

After all, he had been fooled by similar characters before, such as the ninth on the Heavenly Ranking who seemed like a funny character but was actually insidious and cunning.

"By the way, the person who kicked Yan Huoxing off the list, I think it was that poor widow, right?"

"This guy, whose nickname is obviously more perverted than mine, has taken over such a nice nickname as Tangxi Sword Immortal, surpassing my Iron Armored Bull, and stepped on the Iron Armored No. 1 on the Qingyun Ranking to reach the top. She really got all the good things by herself. Why the hell did she get that? It's so abominable! She is the public enemy of our wrestler world!"

Xu Shu felt furious when he thought of the young widow who had appeared almost in the same frame with him on the list of "successful candidates" but whose fame had completely crushed hers.

Sooner or later, he would step on her hard and use her as a stepping stone for his own promotion!
Of course, there are many heroes in the world, so we should take our time and not rush into anything...

Xu Shu silently complained in his heart.

At this time, Yan Huoxing on the other side clearly felt that the murderous aura rising from the opposite side had dissipated.

He relaxed a little, took a running start, and leaped across dozens of meters like a big bird, landing steadily and lightly on the rooftop on Xu Shu's side.

"Hmm? Such a nimble body... Even if this fat guy is an ordinary person, he must weigh 400 to 500 kilograms. How come he is so agile?"

Xu Shu's heart trembled, and he took another look at this super fat dragon that was about three times his size.

Moreover, this guy looks fat and round, and his size is not much different from the second extraordinary monster "Land Shark" that Xu Shu encountered, but in fact he has no fat at all, and it's all terrifying muscles with distinct blocks like fine iron.

Just by looking at its appearance, one could tell that its defense must be extremely terrifying, at most only slightly weaker than one's own.

Xu Shu was wondering about this guy's level of strength.

The other party spoke first.

"Hahaha, it's a bit reckless for me to come here suddenly, please forgive me, brothers and beauties! My name is Yan Huoxing, our team encountered some strange things and suffered heavy losses. We are now running for our lives. I happened to sense traces of monster strongholds disappearing nearby, and I was wondering if there are other expedition teams that can come here for help." Yan Huo said with a red face.

He was all smiles and was the first to introduce himself. His frank and sincere attitude did not make people feel offensive.

Seeing this, Gu Yueming looked around and did not find the so-called "remaining teammates" that Yan Huoxing mentioned, so he did not say anything. Instead, he moved his body and protected Xu Shu in front of him.

Xu Shu thought about it and also bowed: "So it's you, Big Brother Immortal Grip! I've heard of your great name for a long time. I'm Xu Shu."

"Hahaha, shit! You're making my face blush with praise. Brother Xu, don't mention this next time."

Yan Huoxing cursed, then pointed at the mermaid under Xu Shu's crotch and asked, "Brother, from what you said, it seems that the team is also incomplete?"

"Yes, that's true. Two people were killed." Xu Shu replied after a little thought.

"You guys are still okay. Five of my people died, and our ferryman brother also sacrificed his life." Yan Huoxing said helplessly as he patted the mermaid he was riding.

Xu Shu subconsciously took another look and immediately understood.

Because the "Man" will run wild after being pulled out, and cannot be killed by ordinary means, only the "Ferryman" can save it.

So, having lost his ferryman teammate and unable to deal with the rampaging Yan Huoxing, he could only carry the fish on his body and take it away.

This may have been going on for quite some time, because the mermaid looks almost dried up and dying, with her lips white and peeling.

Obviously, no matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it has just interacted with the "Warrior" profession

Friends, you must be careful about your boundaries. Friendship cannot last too long, otherwise even the most fertile land will be ruined.

Seeing that Xu Shu was indeed somewhat surprised, Yan Huoxing said, "Alas, I originally wanted to come over and ask your ferryman to help me untie it, but now it seems that your ferryman is also dead. It's really a headache!"

He sighed deeply, his tone full of regret, and then he added: "Brother, you don't have to laugh at me. Your fish looks pretty. You are enjoying it now. You will be more anxious than me if you can't pull it out later."

Xu Shu shook his head: "I won't rush."

Yan Huoxing didn't believe it. He thought Xu Shu was saying that he wouldn't be soft, so he wasn't worried. But comparisons are everywhere, and you can't lose the battle even if you lose the person. He immediately said, "Ha, brother, you're better at bragging than me!"

"No, the one who died on our side was the butcher." Xu Shu said indifferently.

"Ah? The butcher is dead??"

Yan Huoxing's expression froze for a moment, and he was obviously shocked by the news.

After all, generally speaking, the "butcher" will only die when the whole team is wiped out, which means he will die after everyone else.

Even the wet nurse and the strong man were alive here, but the butcher died first, which was really unexpected.

The next second, Yan Huoxing suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I understand, brother. You guys decided to hide here because you don't have the butcher to lead the way?"

"Can you please not say such harsh words? What do you mean by cowardly?" Xu Shu sighed and added, "Yes."

Yan Huoxing's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother, why don't we all form an alliance? This way we won't waste the tickets to the ruins. What do you think?"

"The remnants of the team form an alliance?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, wondering what new term this is.

Yan Huoxing didn't know that he was doubting this, and thought Xu Shu was hesitating, so he persuaded him: "Look, brother, your butcher died and there is no one to explore the way, and our ferryman died and there is no one to pray for the soul, so it's a perfect complement! You help me, I help you, and we help each other, isn't it wonderful?!"

"This……"

Xu Shu couldn't help but frown.

Although he didn't know much about this thing and had never heard of it, from the literal meaning, it sounded like a way to form a team in the ruins?
You know, many of the extraordinary people who form a team to enter the ruins are not very familiar with each other, but they can help each other and trust their teammates. The fundamental reason is that they have the blessing of the "Heart Fire Incense Burner".

Members of the same team cannot backstab each other.

This "teammate damage immunity" function is a real blessing, and it is much more reliable than the "pledge of allegiance" which has more symbolic meaning!
Could it be that the “Alliance of the Remnants” also has similar means?
But I can’t open the upgrade driver in the ruins, what should I do?

Xu Shu looked at Gu Yueming for help, and said in a sweet voice:

"Aunt, can you translate? Is there any harm in the remaining teams forming an alliance?"

“Is this reliable?”
