The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 440 It’s a Small World (asking for monthly tickets)

Is this reliable?

Gu Yueming moved his lips slightly and said the same two words.

When Xu Shu saw this situation, he immediately understood what was going on.

It seems that there is no problem, safety is guaranteed!

His face was immediately filled with smiles, and he extended his hand to Yan Huoxing: "Brother Yan, if that's the case, then why don't we show respect..."

As soon as he finished saying the word "ru", Yan Huoxing was so happy that he wanted to shake hands with Xu Shu.

However, at this moment, Xu Shu finally heard everything Gu Yueming said.

The two words she said were: "No".

“???” Xu Shu stared at his aunt in shock.

When I ask you if you are reliable or not, you either say yes or no. The difference between two words and three words is so obvious, isn't that good? Why do you have to say "no"?
And it would be fine if you just said it, but what the hell is this ridiculously long two-second delay?

Are you teasing me on purpose?
Xu Shu was secretly complaining, and in his mind he labeled his aunt as the same unreliable person as a certain robot little girl.

Really, he always had a good impression of my aunt!

At the same time, he pulled back his outstretched hand in time, indicating his refusal to cooperate.

Playing is playing and joking is joking, but this kind of thing can't be joked about casually. If it's not allowed, then it's not allowed.

Yan Huoxing was in a good mood when he saw Xu Shu coming to shake hands with him and knew that the cooperation had been reached. However, he ended up shaking hands with nothing and confused others.

After being held there for a while, Yan Huoxing looked at Xu Shu, then at himself, and asked blankly: "Uh, brother? What do you mean?"

Xu Shu then changed his words seriously: "… Let's think about it again. We need to consider this matter in the long run."

"..." God damn, "It's better to think about it again than to be respectful"!
Yan Huoxing's smile disappeared for a moment, then returned to his face: "Hahaha! Ah, yes, that's right, I have to think about it. So how do you plan to think about it?"

"Yes." Xu Shu nodded. "Please wait here for a moment, Brother Yan. We will be back soon and tell you later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, brother!" Yan Huoxing waved his hand, with a smile on his face and in his heart.

It's just that the flowers on the face are smiling, but the heart is cursing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Xu Shu was certainly not blind, but he did not feel embarrassed at all. He pulled Gu Yueming back to the hospital corridor.

After he was almost completely out of the sight of the "Hand of Immortality", Xu Shu lit up the red talisman paper given by Xie Xiaochan, sent out a signal, and summoned his teammates to gather.

This is the "Tracing Talisman", which can contact other people who also hold this talisman within a certain distance. The other party can find it through the talismans in their hands.

It has to be said that these monks are quite skilled and have researched many strange things.

This function is simply like a god. It is comparable to sending a "location message" with a mobile phone in the information age before the great disaster. It is so convenient.

Of course, it is far inferior to directly [sharing teammates' positions] in a formation, but it's a pity that the upgrade drive cannot be turned on in the ruins.

While waiting for his teammates to arrive, Xu Shu couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, why did you move your mouth to say two words before making any sound?"

Gu Yueming said seriously: "Xiao Xu, don't you know? The speed of light is more than 88 times the speed of sound! So when it rains, you often see lightning first and then hear thunder."

Xu Shu: ???
You're crazy!

We were less than 0.5 meters apart just now. What does it have to do with lightning and thunder?

Believe it or not, I will blow up two of your big mines!

He was a man who spoke his mind, and he first scolded his aunt harshly - in his heart.

It was obvious that Xu Shu was unhappy, so Gu Yueming said awkwardly, "Well, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I wanted to say it was reliable because there was a contract as evidence, but then I changed my mind and realized that it was not right."

"That's more like it." Xu Shu rolled his eyes and asked her why.

Gu Yueming pursed his lips and said after careful consideration, "In such a dangerous place, casualties are normal. Once we lose some teammates with special functions, the exploration obviously cannot continue, such as losing the 'Rogue', 'Ferryman', 'Orphan', 'Preacher', etc.

“Therefore, the term “Remnant Team Alliance” is not uncommon in large-scale ruins. This term has been around for more than a decade.

"After forming an alliance, the two parties can use the contract as proof and swear an oath of blood as a guarantee of cooperation."

After listening to this, Xu Shu nodded, feeling that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the procedure.

"So why don't you think it's okay?" he asked.

Gu Yueming said: "Because the restrictions in the contract are not strong enough. Think about it, why can the Heart Fire Incense Burner make people feel at ease? Because it not only protects us from being excluded from the ruins, but also ensures that all people burning incense in the same incense burner cannot harm each other.

"But the contract can't do that. The contract is essentially a trigger-type curse witchcraft. It can only punish the defaulter if one party violates the agreement and attempts to kill people or seize treasures.

“This kind of punishment certainly has a certain deterrent effect, but it can be resisted and purified. At best, it can limit the strength of the defaulting party to a certain extent and cause them to suffer serious injuries, but it is unlikely to kill them directly.

"If the strength of both parties is similar, this contract may still have a very good deterrent effect, because the risk of violating the contract is very high; but you can see that the other party was once the number one on the Qingyun Ranking, and the strength of his teammates is definitely not comparable to our group.

"In a situation like this where there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, the effect of the contract is very small.

"If they want to rob their fellow thieves, one of them can bear all the backlash of the curse, and the rest can kill and rob. How can we resist?"

After listening to Gu Yueming, Xu Shu suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you regretted it, auntie. You do have some truth in what you said."

Xu Shu tapped his fingers, pondered for a moment, and suddenly whispered, "But how can you be sure that we are not as good as them? So what if we were once number one on the Qingyun Ranking? A hero does not brag about his past achievements. We are all level three now, and I am a master on the Human Ranking, but he has not even made it to the Human Ranking."

Gu Yueming hesitated for a moment: "You may be better than Yan Huoxing in a one-on-one fight...but will his teammates be better than us?"

Xu Shu agreed, "It is possible, and it is very likely. But why don't you blush and feel ashamed when you say this, aunt?"

"I'm a doctor, why should I be embarrassed? Do you see an auxiliary profession like Ximingren on the list of people? They are the ones who should be embarrassed." Gu Yueming said righteously.

"Oh, that's okay."

Xu Shu nodded, roughly understanding what Gu Yueming was worried about, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

He still wanted to cooperate somewhat.

If nothing else, if he didn't cooperate, he would have to stay in this hospital for nearly two days and two nights, wasting time and unable to do anything. Just this point made Xu Shu speechless.

He came all the way to the ruins, not just to find a place to enjoy the cool breeze or bask in the moonlight.

It would also be a good thing if the two teams could form an alliance to learn from each other's strengths and overcome each other's weaknesses.

Gu Yueming now said that if the other party was too strong, he would be unreliable, but Xu Shu felt that that was even better.
You know, Xu Shu had only two purposes for coming to the Sea of ​​Death from the very beginning.

One is to take the opportunity to plunder the crystal spoils, as his wealth is far from enough for his own cultivation;
The second is to find a way to find and retrieve his own beacons, [Kamiya Ichiru] and [Arthur].

At present, the whereabouts of [Arthur] is still unknown, but the whereabouts of [Kamiya Ichiru] have been revealed.

The new headstick drummer, Master Wujie, said that he is in the most dangerous center of the ruins, in the inner city surrounded by powerful enemies!

Unfortunately, it was too dangerous to get involved, so Xu Shu had to give up the idea of ​​taking the risk by entering the inner city area.

He felt that he was still not strong enough, and the strength of the entire team was even less strong.

The strength of people like Yan Shan, Ning Zhaoxuan, etc. cannot be considered particularly weak, but at best they are equivalent to the level of Sui Han's "1.5" friends. On the contrary, Jiang Biyun is quite powerful, and is estimated to have the strength of "2 friends".

But whether it is 1.5 or 2, there is not much difference for Xu Shu.

Because even if all these people were put together, they could not match the level of "Xu Shu + Xu Shu" in direct combat.

The importance of everyone is actually more reflected in some special mechanisms, such as Ning Zhaoxuan's "supernatural salvation", Xiao Yingrong's "blessing of life", etc., which are necessities in this relic environment.

Even Xu Shu didn't need the latter. He had [Jingwei Filling the Sea] to rely on. Even a demigod-level monster would have to spend a lot of effort to drain him dry, let alone this little third-level mermaid? British police were not afraid of going to elementary schools.

This is why when Xu Shu heard that the other party was strong and willing to form an alliance, his first thought was not to consider the risks, but to be tempted.

Because his starting point and thinking mode are different from Gu Yueming's.

For Gu Yueming, she pursues stability and security, and is very wary of strangers.

But in Xu Shu's opinion, a strong alliance is the best choice and is more likely to get what he wants!

Because of different strengths and status, the perspectives and choices when dealing with people are also different. There is no right or wrong, only who is more suitable for you.

For example, Xu Shu even thought that it would be great if the remaining people on the other side were all top players on the human list.

With the suppression of the blood contract, no one can turn the tables in his hands unless they are in the top 50 of the human list.

The alliance under this circumstance is what Gu Yueming calls "both sides are equally matched", which actually provides sufficient protection.

"Well, let's see what the bride and the others think first..."

"If it really doesn't work, why don't I do it alone? Anyway, it looks safer here. Although I'm on patrol, I'm just trying to feel at ease."

Xu Shu thought with ease in his heart.

After a while, other people gathered quickly from various lookout points in the east, south, west and north of the hospital.

"What happened?"

"Is there an enemy?"

After the seven people gathered, everyone asked questions vigilantly.

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "Not an enemy, but an ally. Here's what happened: a guy came to us on his own initiative. His name is Yan Huoxing. He also lost some teammates and wants to form an alliance with our remaining team..."

He summarized what had happened and told it to the other five people.

When the idea of ​​forming an alliance was brought up, everyone showed anticipation at first, but then they became hesitant and wavering.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh.

It was clear at a glance that everyone was worried, as Gu Yueming had said before, that they would be robbed by the other party if they head-on "backlash of the blood covenant."

Everyone was a little wary, except Xie Xiaochan, who was the "world traveler" of Nuxu Palace and had extraordinary courage and boldness. When she heard the identity of the person to form an alliance with, she said with great interest: "Are you saying it's Yan Huoxing, the shame of Qingyun?" "Yes, it's him." Xu Shu nodded.

Xie Xiaochan said: "They lost the ferryman, and we are short of hooligans, so this is a perfect complement. And how many people do they have?"

Xu Shu said: "He said there are four left."

Xie Xiaochan clapped her hands and said, "Four? I think we can form an alliance. Yan Huoxing is quite strong! Oh, don't look at him like that. You look down on him just because he was kicked off the list.

“This man is a core disciple of the Assassin’s League, and he once came to Nuxu Palace with his master to exchange ideas and learn from each other.

"Although I have never fought with him, I have watched his battles. His strength is absolutely worthy of his reputation. He deserves to be number one in Qingyun."

"Uh..." Yan Shan and the others fell silent for a moment, looking at Xie Xiaochan with some resentment.

Big sister, do you think we look like this because we look down on him?
You are a student of a famous teacher, you are noble!

But we are afraid that he will turn against us!

Everyone was speechless, but Xu Shu suddenly interrupted her curiously and asked, "Assassin's League? Why is he, a dragon elephant, in the Assassin's League?"

Although Xu Shu didn't know much about this organization, he had naturally heard of it. It was an alliance of all the famous killers and bounty organizations in the world.

For example, the Hunter Association, a famous "outsourced police" under the Judgment Department, is a member of the Assassin's League.

Although the entire organization is relatively loose, it is also one of the super powers in the world because they have a fifth-level human being as their backer, ranked sixth on the Heavenly List, "Sword Star"!
Xie Xiaochan said: "What you said, no one has stipulated that the Assassin's League can only have gangsters, right? Can't you be a killer yourself?"

"That's true." Xu Shu nodded thoughtfully.

Xie Xiaochan continued, "If these four people join us, we can definitely continue our exploration! I think this is feasible."

Seeing Xie Xiaochan's attitude, Xu Shu felt more cheerful for some reason and asked with a smile, "Do you think so too?"

"Of course, Brother Haha has a good reputation. Although he has been nailed to the pillar of shame, he is still a decent person. He has also eradicated evil cults many times and reached the top. Hahaha." Xie Xiaochan smiled, suddenly looked around and said, "What do you think?"

"This……"

Jiang Biyun, Yan Shan, Ning Zhaoxuan and others hesitated for a moment.

Xie Xiaochan patted her chest and said, "Why worry? I'll protect you all... Um, don't be so sad. How about we vote? I agree. What about you?"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I agree too."

As he raised his hand, he also pulled Gu Yueming's pink and white little hand up as well.

Although Gu Yueming had concerns, Xu Shu believed that he could still guarantee his aunt's safety.

When Shui Longyin was being hunted by Wu Liuzhi and was just a burden, he was able to save himself. What about Gu Yueming, who has super auxiliary abilities and can provide him with healing?
"..." Gu Yueming lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something, but his hand was held by Xu Shu, so he could only follow Wen Wan and said: "I, I agree too."

At this point three votes had been cast in favor, and the remaining four exchanged glances.

A moment later, Jiang Biyun, Xiao Yingrong and Ning Zhaoxuan also chose to form an alliance.

Six votes passed.

Only Yan Shan didn't speak. He hesitated and didn't raise his hand.

Xie Xiaochan asked curiously, "Old Yan, what are you doing? Before you entered the ruins, didn't you frankly say that you wanted to cling to Xu Shu's thighs? Why are you so shy now that more powerful teammates are clinging to you?"

Yan Shan was stunned by the question and thought to himself, how the hell can they be the same?

He scratched his head, looked at Xie Xiaochan, then at Xu Shu, and hesitantly said, "Big sister, I'm not being modest, but to be honest, we are both dragon elephants, and the existence of Brother Xu and this Yan Huoxing makes me feel almost ashamed. What can I do?"

When these words were spoken, the others felt the same way, and they also felt a huge sense of disappointment.

Originally, there was one more top player in the team, and everyone said he was just trying to curry favor with someone powerful.

But if there were several more masters of this level, they would feel like a complete burden.

Xie Xiaochan laughed and said, "Hey, you're overthinking this. Why are you belittling yourself? Besides, even if you feel you're not strong enough, can't you still do odd jobs? They're fighting to the death, and you're cheering and reaping the benefits. Just lie down, safe and happy, isn't that wonderful?"

"..."

After saying this, everyone looked at Xie Xiaochan with strange eyes.

And Xu Shu is right here. Even if you really think so, can you say it out loud?
Xie Xiaochan came over nonchalantly, patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and said, "Right, little pervert... ahem, right, little brother? We are all brothers."

A soft shoulder leaned against him, and a slightly intoxicating fragrance filled his nostrils, which seemed extremely fragrant, but Xu Shu silently rolled his eyes.

He couldn't even think of any romantic thoughts about the bride's behavior, which was obviously more intimate than her interactions with other people.

As expected, she is the seven-color Taoist nun who refuses to be shy. She looks very shy but gives people an extreme sexual contraction. It feels like she is the real "recoil fighter"...

Xu Shu muttered to himself and nodded, "That's right. And don't worry too much, we are in this together, we have Liezhenzi as a guarantor, we are truly family, we need to help each other and trust each other."

He secretly mentioned the existence of the "Heart Fire Incense Burner", which finally dispelled his teammates' concerns.

Since the two strongest players in the team were very confident, everyone no longer hesitated.

"Let's go and see who he brought with him." Xie Xiaochan pushed Xu Shu and asked him to lead the way.

When we arrived at the rooftop, Yan Huoxing had been waiting there for a long time.

"Brother Yan, sorry to have kept you waiting!" Xu Shu greeted him.

Yan Huoxing saw six or seven people following him, and he already knew the result. He was delighted and laughed loudly, “Hahaha! It’s getting cooler here! Everyone looks very energetic! I’m Yan Huoxing, nice to meet you all!”

His attitude was cheerful and generous, and everyone relaxed a lot. They all gave their names, introducing themselves to each other.

When everyone introduced themselves, Yan Huoxing also behaved very friendly.

But when someone appeared, his expression suddenly changed.

"Brother Yan, long time no see! When I saw you being knocked off the list, I was worried that you were in danger. Now I see you running around alive and well, which makes me feel relieved. I am here to greet you." Xie Xiaochan said.

"Fuck, Black-hearted Rose Xie Xiaochan? Why is it you?"

Yan Huoxing glanced at the latter and his smile gradually disappeared.

When everyone was puzzled, Yan Huoxing looked at Xu Shu awkwardly: "Brother Xu, actually, I don't think it's so suitable for you to team up, otherwise I should...ah hahaha, I'm leaving first, I won't disturb you, you guys can do whatever you want."

As he said this, he actually took two steps back, bowed and tried to slip away.

Xu Shu was surprised and hurriedly pulled him back, saying unhappily, "Stop it, Brother Yan! What do you mean? You came to me to cooperate with me before, and I agreed. Why are you leaving? Do you look down on me, a man of the guild?"

"No, no, it's mainly because I didn't expect this woman to be with you... um."

Yan Huoxing first waved his hands and answered in a low voice, then he was stunned and looked at Xu Shu, "Someone from the evil sect? Uh... Are you Gu Pan?"

"It's me." Xu Shu showed off his huge muscles, although it seemed unconvincing.

"No wonder, I said that such a strong and young dragon elephant should be rare. It turns out that you are the Grass Python hero, which makes sense! What a coincidence, everyone was wondering whether you could achieve my past achievements, but I didn't expect that you have left me far behind and been promoted to the human list..." Yan Huoxing suddenly realized and murmured to himself.

Xu Shu waved his hand: "Brother Yan, don't be too modest. I am far worse than you! Why do you think it's inappropriate to say it first?"

"This……"

Yan Huoxing rolled his eyes a few times, secretly glanced at Xie Xiaochan, and whispered to Xu Shu in a rather obscure and low voice: "Brother, strong men cherish each other. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you team up with this Black Heart Rose, you have to be careful of your life! To be honest, I have three uncles in my family who once admired this woman. Guess what happened to them later?"

"how?".

Yan Huoxing said: "Two of them died at a young age, and were made into puppets after their death! Another one, because he joined her to conquer the ruins more than half a month ago, now he is bedridden!"

"Ah? There is such a thing..." Xu Shu was quite surprised at first, and suddenly seemed to recall something, "Are the two uncles you are talking about the Yan Qianhe from 'This High-End Game'?"

Yan Huoxing was immediately surprised: "Hey, brother, you actually know them?"

"Yeah, I've heard of it." Xu Shu nodded, thinking that this was not just something he heard. He was also there when the Yan brothers who were made into puppets were liberated.

But then again, Xie Xiaochan doesn’t seem to be very familiar with Yan Qianhe... Does she know that these two brothers admire her?

Xu Shu muttered a few words in his heart.

Yan Huoxing had already said secretly: "If you know, why don't you run away? Brother, beauty is like a knife that scrapes bones. We strong men only give our bodies and not our hearts. This woman is really doomed. I heard that those who have teamed up with her are either dead or disabled, especially strong men. Basically, there is no one who survives! Otherwise, how do you think she got the nickname Black Heart Rose? You better be careful. I can only remind you here. I'm leaving!"

"No, you can't leave! You haven't formed an alliance with us yet!" Xu Shu held him back.

At this time, Xie Xiaochan came over suspiciously and asked, "What are you two whispering about here?"

"It's okay, Brother Yan said he has notified his teammates to come over." Xu Shu said.

Xie Xiaochan nodded: "Okay, let's wait a while."

"I..." Yan Huoxing was speechless and regretted coming here to join in the fun.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Shu: "Well, brother! It's fate that we two twin brothers can meet today. Let's see who is more unlucky!"

After saying this, Yan Huoxing seemed to have made up his mind and took out a special copper whistle and blew it.

The sound of the whistle is almost inaudible to the naked eye.

But after a while, several figures appeared quickly from a distant corner as if they had made an appointment.

They were as fast as ghosts, crossing the long street and climbing onto the roof of the hospital.

Xu Shu looked carefully and found that there was a man and two women coming together.

The man had a cold face, and murderous aura almost overflowed into the air, making it icy to the touch. Needless to say, this was the "butcher".

Xu Shu didn't recognize the butcher, so he turned to look at the one of the two women, the one with a figure as slender as a ripe persimmon.

Not only mature, but also familiar.

After a moment of identification, Xu Shu was quite surprised: "Fuck, why is it you?"
