The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 472: Never stop on the road of fighting against opponents of higher levels (Thanks to the leader Haoyue Huanxi)

At this moment, Gu Yueming's heart was filled with helplessness and fear.

She blamed herself for not being strong enough to resist powerful enemies (such as Gu Pan) and had to rely on others to survive; she also hated that she had tried so hard and was about to find clues to the whereabouts of her "son", but failed at the last moment.

As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. When Gu Yueming thought that she could not change anything, she could not help but feel sad. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her pretty face was full of powerlessness and the hair at the corners of her eyes trembled slightly.

——This is the secret use of the auxiliary skills of "Xi Ming Ren", which is jokingly called "the mountains and rivers are broken by the wind and the catkins are blown by the wind, and the life is up and down like duckweed in the rain!" The unique skills, "sad tears"!
The main character is pitiful and anyone who sees her can't help laughing, or no, can't help but feel pity for her.

However, Xu Shu did not have that.

He was heartless. He straightened the mermaid's position to avoid affecting his movements. He said calmly, "Don't act pitiful with me. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I'm not pretending to be pitiful, I just..."

Gu Yueming felt miserable and wondered why no one in the world could help him, but he finally gritted his teeth and decided to confess to Xu Shu.

After all, she was a smart person. She knew that giving up Xu Shu's protection would mean death. If she told the truth, she could at least try to get a chance on the other party's thoughts. She had to choose the lesser of two evils. There was no need to hesitate!

Of course, as the old saying goes, success depends on human effort. When describing the same thing, even if one is not trying to lie, different results will be obtained by how one expresses it. This is called the art of language!
At the critical moment, Gu Yueming quickly adjusted his mentality, keeping a "sad and weak" expression on his face, hesitating and speaking very slowly: "Xu Shu, actually I am..."

She took a full minute to finish each word.

Xu Shu's eyes twitched: "Aunt, isn't your method of delaying time a bit too blunt? If you don't want to say it, I'll move on to the next round."

He pretended to walk towards Gu Pan.

"Ah, don't, don't!"

Gu Yueming had a bitter face, grabbed Xu Shu, and his mind raced, thinking of various excuses.

During this tug of war, the team finally reached a ruined building and stopped.

At the front, Xie Xiaochan pointed to an icon next to her and said excitedly, "We're here!"

Below the cross icon, there seems to be a round manhole cover. It looks inconspicuous at first glance, but only upon closer inspection can you find a secret hidden inside, as if there is a large keyhole.

Obviously, this is the switch of an underground entrance gate.

However, after countless years of wind and sun, the entrance has been buried by dust.

"Come on, damn it, cheer up! I'm going to open the door!"

Xie Xiaochan shouted loudly, then rubbed her hands and carefully aimed the triggering magic sword "Cunzhi".

Boo!
The hole in the cross lock looked very small, and the handle of the knife was inserted into the hole in the middle with a slight sound of locking.

The surrounding ground reacted immediately, with a roaring sound like a light wave. The ground underfoot suddenly sank, the ground continued to shake, and the covering soil was blown away.

Seeing this, everyone jumped up quickly, and after waiting for a moment, they saw a huge metal platform several dozen meters wide appear below.

The huge platform extends downward, and sand and gravel pour into the gaps on both sides, as if forming two sand waterfalls.

The originally tightly fitted, propeller-like protective doors opened towards each other, revealing an alloy passageway that looked like the upper and lower openings of a spaceship, extending downward at a very steep slope.

Every ten or so meters in the passage, there is a propeller-like metal door that rotates open, layer after layer, layer after layer, until it is out of sight but the sound of mechanical friction can be heard below, making people even suspect that this thing may lead to the depths of the earth!
"This……"

"A space station left over from the technological era?"

"Why is the space station on the ground? Shouldn't it be in the sky?"

"Maybe it's a surface base station."

Such a huge commotion surprised everyone, and they all started whispering to each other.

In the real wasteland, it is rare to see such complete ruins of previous civilizations. Occasionally, those unearthed will be taken away on the spot by major forces such as the Astronomical Society. Without internal connections, you will never see them.

Of course, the conversation between Xu Shu and Gu Yueming was also interrupted.

Gu Yueming almost cheered softly when he saw this, but luckily he managed to hold it back.

After looking around and seeing the destination, Gu Yueming could not hide her joy. Then she grabbed Xu Shu's arm and said in an almost pleading tone, "Xu Shu, when we leave here, I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything without hiding anything. But now, please give me a little more time, okay?"

"Ah..." Xu Shu was stunned.

What the hell is there that can't be said?
Isn't it just asking why you discovered the danger so quickly and whether you gained any special "extra experience"...

Could it be that it’s different from what I thought?
Is there something fishy going on here?
There was no hint in the Taichu Volume... I scanned her with the hyperdimensional mode before, but didn't find anything abnormal...

Xu Shu leaned back slightly, rolled his eyes, but did not answer. Instead, he looked around at the scenery and suddenly frowned.

This expression and attitude made Gu Yueming suddenly despair, thinking that Xu Shu must not trust him.

After struggling internally for a while, Gu Yueming seemed to have made a decision.

She grabbed Xu Shu's big hand and pressed it against her chest without waiting for him to refuse, letting his fingertips fit tightly against her fair and smooth skin. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll let you take this away! This way, if I go back on my word, it will be easy for you to take my life!"

As he said this, Gu Yueming recited a few spells at a very fast speed.

The skin on her chest began to move immediately, as if sinking into a narrow and tight round hole, tightly gripping Xu Shu's finger.

Ziliu!

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, feeling as if his heart was stabbed.

In an instant, a drop of extremely pure blood the size of a soybean swam out from Gu Yueming's heart!
It crawled up along Xu Shu's fingers like an earthworm at a very fast speed, and implanted itself in his palm. It turned into a flower bud-like pattern that had not yet unfolded, glowing with fluorescence and disappearing in a flash!
At a quick glance, the flower bud seemed to emit a faint fragrance, like a embryo that could grow at any time, full of a mysterious and holy atmosphere.

"Huh? This is..."

Xu Shu's pupils shrank when he saw this.

It might be difficult for others to recognize this thing, but as the former "Lord of Abundance" who was only one step away from being promoted to the "Empress", he certainly knew what it was.

This is the "Nirvana Embryo"!
Every "doctor" will have such a seed planted in his body when he first achieves extraordinary success.

After that, he practices step by step, goes through three stages of promotion from "physician", "witch" to "life-maker", and continuously injects everything closely related to his own life into the Xuantai. Then, the Xuantai seed will germinate step by step, and finally take shape, becoming the trump card of the "life-maker".

Even if it seems that the soul is destroyed and the body is dead and turned to ashes, as long as the mysterious fetus is well hidden and blooms, the "Xi Ming Ren" can be reborn in the void and the body can be recast.

This is their second life!
Therefore, even though Gu Yueming's Xuantai has not yet been fully formed and can only be regarded as a embryo seed, it can be said to be the thing she has truly devoted her life to.

Moreover, if the Xuantai was taken out at this germination stage, not to mention whether it could be "reborn" later, even during this period, if Xu Shu tampered with the Xuantai, Gu Yueming's realm would regress or even die on the spot.

It can be said that by doing this, Gu Yueming completely handed over his power over life and death to Xu Shu, without any reservations.

"Forehead……"

Looking at the face of his aunt begging desperately, Xu Shu's expression was a little dull, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Oh, in that case, I won't embarrass you. I hope you won't break your promise, aunt."

"Of course! Don't worry!" Gu Yueming felt as if he had been pardoned. He held Xu Shu's hand and thanked him repeatedly. At the same time, he carefully pulled his fingers out from his heart, inch by inch, with obvious pain on his face.

This is a real pain in the flesh. When I deposited the Xuantai with Xu Shu just now, I was in a hurry to achieve results without considering the consequences. Now it hurts so much to pull it out~ Gu Yueming grimaced in pain.

"..."

"Strange, I just want to know why she has become so sharp and what kind of extra memories she has. We are all in the same boat, so please ask in advance so that I can help resolve the conflict between her and Gu Pan.

"But why is she so inexplicably resistant and excited, and even goes this far? What is she doing?
"What on earth is there that cannot be said... I will definitely ask for clarification when the time comes!"

Feeling the strange touch of rings wrapped around his fingers, Xu Shu's heart moved. He looked away with a slightly strange feeling, feeling a little puzzled.

However, his attention is not on this matter now either.

When the door just opened, everyone was surprised at the technological-style passage here, and Xu Shu was also surprised.

But what surprised him was that this place was actually quite familiar!

This was the outsourced station of the supernatural organization located in Raccoon City during the "Dead Man Returns to the Ruins" at that time. It was a special place where a large number of radioactive contaminated items were detained: the Abnormal Biology Research Institute! (Note 1: Chapter 2 of Volume 74)
Although Xu Shu had only met the entire research institute once at that time and had not yet had the chance to officially join the company, he was blown away.

But after all, this incident is a milestone in Arthur's life.

Therefore, after seeing the whole picture, Xu Shu reacted immediately.

"I was wondering why that manhole cover looked so familiar. This thing is the base of the 'spiritual pressure scale' at the entrance!"

"But this place should be destroyed. It seems that this may not be the research institute I used to have. After all, the shelter was not so deep underground... Maybe it was rebuilt when I was not here? Or is it something else?"

"Tsk, according to the current situation, those so-called sealed objects are actually the same as cursed tools, and they are still quite valuable! It's a pity that either I ate them or they were taken away by the death agent here. I don't know if they will appear here again?"

While Xu Shu was muttering in his heart, Gu Yueming had already pulled his fingers out from the edge of his heart, panting, and said with a flushed face, "Okay, okay."

"Ah."

Xu Shu nodded without saying anything more on the matter, and immediately waited with everyone else for the entrance to be completely opened.

It’s a long story, but it all happened in just one minute.

Everyone was busy paying attention to the high-tech metal door that was gradually opening, so basically no one noticed the small movements of the two people on the edge.

The only exception is Gu Pan.

Gu Pan noticed this scene, and his pupils suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! What is she doing? She actually let Xu Shu touch her?

"Could she dare to use my aunt's body to seduce Xu Shu?

"What's her purpose?"

"Why did she do that?"

Because he couldn't hear the content of the other party's secret message, Gu Pan could only imagine everything based on what he saw with his own eyes. He wanted to rush up and give the woman a sword so that she would stop defiling his aunt's body. At the same time, he had many complaints against Xu Shu.

"Damn you Xu Shu, can't you restrain yourself a little? She's your teacher's aunt, how could you do this? There's a generation gap between you two!

"No, you can't do this, you can't f*cking do this!!!"

Gu Pan was roaring in his heart.

What relieved her a little was that Xu Shu looked normal and moved his hand away from the latter, and the two did not seem to have any further intimate interaction.

She then breathed a sigh of relief, and struggled to move forward amid the shaking of the ground, choosing to stare at Gu Yueming.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but no one spoke out.

At this time, the ground shaking had ended.

Behind the huge metal door, an extremely deep passage that seemed to lead directly to the abyss was quietly revealed.

Xie Xiaochan took a deep breath and said, "Be careful. According to the intelligence, although not every passage is the same, there may be some mutated cursed monsters in there that will attack us."

"Cursed monster?" Some people were confused, as this was information only known to a small circle.

Xie Xiaochan nodded: "Well, it could be a mechanical box, a bearing, a chain, a toothbrush, a towel. In short, you have to be careful when you see anything. Of course, maybe it's gone now, maybe it was snatched away by people who came here before. For first- and second-level extraordinary people, some of the things here are quite valuable."

Is there really still some 'sealed object' left? Strange...

On the side, Xu Shu, who had heard the introduction, popped up and asked thoughtfully, "Is there no limit on the number of people who can enter this secret realm?"

According to the previous two experiences of entering "Kiyomizu Temple" and "Side Hall of the Mother Goddess Church", it seems that the number of people entering the secret realm is also different?
Xie Xiaochan seemed to have expected him to ask this question, so she smiled and said, "This secret realm is different. Because there are audience seats, everyone can enter during the period when the passage is open."

"Audience seats?" Xu Shu became more and more confused.

"The dueling arena has an arena, stands, and backstage. After we enter, we go through a special channel to the backstage, and then after diversion, the assistants go directly to the arena, and the challengers stand backstage. Three to six people can enter, and the rest of the people can watch the show in the audience seats where fighting is prohibited." Xie Xiaochan knew a lot, and this time she finally said a little more.

However, before she could finish her words, Lu Bingwei next to her suddenly coughed and said, "Stop talking nonsense and let's go. The entrance will be closed soon." Then she stepped on the talisman and floated up, and whooshed in.

The rest of the people also felt that it made sense, because the entrance door seemed to be moving and seemed to be closing, so they filed in one by one.

Among them, Yan Shan was the most active. He dragged the huge body of the "biochemical mother", jumped up, and fell down without a trace.

In a quick glance, the biochemical mother, who was tied up and unable to move, made a very anthropomorphic eye-rolling gesture, as if to protest against this behavior.

"...quite intelligent, but probably only as intelligent as a house cat?"

Xu Shu muttered silently, without thinking too much, and chose to cover the rear again.

Behind the rear hall was Gu Yueming. She held onto Xu Shu's collar tightly, using him as a support, and looked around with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, as if this was some place worth remembering.

This is not the real last one.

Because the one who really brought up the rear was... Gu Pan.

She stared at Gu Yueming with a very vigilant and scrutinizing look, fearing that she would do something out of line again.

Especially when I saw her snuggling up to Xu Shu like a little bird as usual.

In fact, I didn’t think there was anything wrong along the way. After all, she is a "nanny" and it is normal for her to find a strong man to act as a shield.

But after seeing the "Monet Gate" incident just now, Gu Pan really disliked her more and more. He always felt that whatever she did now was coquettish.

You must keep a close eye on it!

……

The passage was quite deep, and even at the level three speed of everyone, it took almost half an hour to reach the bottom.

Although Xu Shu didn't see any familiar "sealed objects" along the way, he felt it was a pity.

But he always felt like there was a thorn in his back, as if there was something scary around him, staring at him.

"There's a lot of murderous aura here, so be careful!"

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, looked left and right, and walked through the long tunnel.

As time goes by, the unchanging paper-shaped folding tunnel around always brings an extremely depressing feeling, making people feel dislocated in space and time.

In fact, there should be a real "spatial dislocation". Otherwise, if you really go hundreds of kilometers deep underground, you will definitely experience abnormal physical sensations.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last too long, and Xu Shu had the "Countdown to Leaving the Ruins" in the Taichu Volume as a reference, so he did not get lost.

After a thirty-minute long run, the front finally reached the finish line.

A space vortex with a diameter of about four meters was quietly suspended there.

"We're here. Remember not to move after you pass through the secret realm entrance. Wait for the signal after you land."

Xie Xiaochan saw Lu Bingwei, who was at the front, went in without saying a word, and could only quickly remind the rest of the people.

Everyone had long been annoyed with being stuck in this dark passage, and after casually responding to what was said, they dived into the vortex one by one like diving.

Kudos!

This time, the space channel is obviously much narrower.

Xu Shu felt that he had just been oppressed, and the resistance around him disappeared instantly.

The feeling of weightlessness is very obvious. You can feel yourself falling, and the strong white light in front of your eyes makes it impossible to open your eyes.

This discomfort only lasted for a few seconds before Xu Shu landed safely.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that I was surrounded by a very strange environment - it seemed that this was the interior of an extremely large mechanical hive.

The dark golden substance flows slowly among the hexagonal grids. Countless prismatic compartments fold over each other and extend upward, forming a "residential building" that is so grand that it is somewhat exaggerated.

The front of each compartment is covered with a translucent amber film, which acts like a floor-to-ceiling window and does not obstruct the view.

A liquid golden light was pulsating under the film glass, jumping back and forth, seeming to weave an unrecognizable symbol, looking quite mysterious.

Stalactite-like columns hang from high in the dome, and inside the columns are balls of light as big as trucks. The light falls on the transparent films at the exits of each compartment, refracting various rainbow colors and dyeing the entire space into a blurry color spectrum, which is magnificent.

"Hiss, is this the stand for the duel arena?"

"This is obviously the backstage, and the stands are below."

"Oh... This may be the most fantastic secret place I have ever seen. It feels very social..."

"Don't just sigh. With such a high level of socialization, it's obvious that this place is very dangerous!"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, some were amazed, and some were wary.

They were in a compartment that was about two-thirds the height of the entire hive.

Looking down from above, you can have a clear view of the circular "duel arena" below.

Looking down, the shape is quite similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, except that the scale has been exaggerated.

In the middle is a peculiarly shaped circular hall, surrounded by layers of stands, three layers inside and three layers outside, with white low walls separating each layer.

It can be seen that there seem to be countless "figures" sitting in the audience, shadowy and countless, serving as spectators of the duel.

However, this huge crowd of spectators did not make any cheering, roaring, etc. as they should have, making it seem both lively and deserted, which was extremely weird.

Seeing such a fantastic and grand scene, Xu Shu couldn't help but frown, wondering if he had been here before.

For some reason, those low white walls also gave him a familiar feeling.

Although the scene doesn't match exactly, if you zoom in on those white walls...

"Hiss, could it be that the audiences around here are all spirits, and this place is actually the kingdom of the gods of death nicknamed 'Seireitei'?"

"It's just that this big beehive outside doesn't match up..."

"Could it be that someone moved it here?"

Xu Shu was suddenly stunned and came up with this guess.

This is not impossible. As one of the highest-level gathering places for extraordinary people in [The Ruins of the Dead], Xu Shu has been to the 'Seireitei'. He even harmed many lovely or mature Shinigami agents there, visiting them in their boudoirs many times, going in and out.

This situation continued until Jing Xiaohua suddenly betrayed the Death Organization, and Xu Shu (Arthur) had always had a very harmonious relationship with the sisters here.

Otherwise, how could the two of them escape the pursuit and encirclement of so many masters of the same level?

In the final analysis, it all depends on the sisters’ help!
If you want to get involved in the business, you need connections and background. What’s the use of being able to fight?

Rely on your parents at home and make friends when you go out, that's the truth...

Xu Shu was thinking wildly, but after observing for a while, he did not see any so-called referee seat on the "duel field". He could not help but ask Xie Xiaochan in confusion: "Didn't you say before that you would know the rules after entering? There is no referee here, how can we fight?"

Xie Xiaochan pointed upwards and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's coming soon, wait... it's coming!"

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the squirming light balls on the dome seemed to be triggered, and it fell off the stalactite column with a puff, rolling around.

It followed some invisible tracks and slowly floated in front of everyone, floating to the honeycomb compartment where everyone was.

"?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and was about to ask Xie Xiaochan if this person was the referee?
The next moment, a ball of light attached to the floor-to-ceiling film window of their compartment, and layers of milky white light liquid began to entangle with the film, merging and swallowing it, eroding into the interior of the compartment step by step.

As the milky white light liquid merged, the hexagonal barrier of the compartment began to no longer remain still. Countless crystal particles peeled off from it, wandering along the geometric edges, like stardust pulled by magnetic force, floating in the air into the light ball.

At the same time, a buzzing whisper, with a slight crackling sound of electricity, came out from the ball of light!

"Ah this!"

"what?"

Such a weird scene made everyone subconsciously take a step back.

Xie Xiaochan's eyes lit up and she said, "Don't be nervous, this voice is harmless, I understand! This is the host of the duel field, and the referee of the game. It will follow the rules of the secret realm to welcome the assistants into the arena.

"Old Yan, push that monster to the front, and we can just move back. Don't panic."

"Oh ok!"

After she said that, everyone seemed to be reassured, but they still avoided it in unison, not wanting to be hit by those crystals and films.

Yan Shan had a bitter face and tried his best to push the "biochemical matrix" forward.

However, after a few seconds of buffer, everyone was not so nervous anymore.

Although this voice sounds like the whisper of an evil god, the first impression is frightening and terrifying.

But after listening carefully for a few sentences, I found that its tone is relatively gentle and mellow, somewhat like the pleasant sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, and quite enjoyable.

Moreover, after listening to it, there were no common symptoms such as mental damage, hallucinations, body changes, etc. that occur after hearing strange whispers.

It can be seen that, as Xie Xiaochan said, the voice was indeed "harmless".

The only thing worth thinking about is what Xie Xiaochan said, who or what is it that maintains the challenge rules in the secret realm?
Could it be that there is something programmed like the "super optical brain in the extraordinary realm" that maintains and presides over all this?
Considering that the entrance passage was structured like a passage in a space station in the technological age, everyone began to think in that direction in a daze.

After all, although this is bizarre, it is still acceptable.

Among the crowd, only Xu Shu looked constipated and had a very tense expression.

There was no way. Although no one could understand what the voice was saying, he could understand it.

Because... he has the Taichu Volume!

[You heard a mysterious and strange mumbling, a language you couldn't understand at all, but it doesn't matter, although your resurrection times have been cleared, the Taichu Volume (super-dimensional mode) still escorts you and translates for you.]

[He said: "Welcome to the world's number one martial arts tournament! We are setting up an entrance channel for challengers to participate in the qualifying round. The rest of the contestants please wait here for the results of the qualifying round challenge!"]

"..."

Xu Shu clenched his fists, trying to make his expression less tense.

This is the best martial arts tournament in the world!

What a fucking qualifying round!
Damn, I told you Xie Xiaochan’s information was unreliable.

What kind of bullshit helper is this?

That's not the case at all!

Of course, these people are quite capable. They actually guessed the general meaning of these languages...

Xu Shu thought to himself for a while.

However, this was not what really made him nervous.

It was because he discovered that this ball of light was definitely not a "supercomputer" or something like that!

This matter has to go back to the time when we encountered the ruins of "Hani-Tailed Jizo" in the wasteland.

At that time, Xu Shu had activated the "conquest mode" many times to find out who was trying to murder him.

During this period, the loyal believer of "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", the gatekeeper Qiba, once exiled Xu Shu to the so-called "Kingdom of God" through sacrifice.

This kingdom of God was later confirmed by Xu Shu to be the "Death Ridge" through various environmental features.

At that time, after Xu Shu entered, he stayed in the "Kingdom of God" for less than a minute before he was driven out by a roar from the sky, shouting "Get the hell out of here!" (Note 2: Volume 2, Chapter 84)
Of course, Xu Shu believed that what the other party said was definitely not the original words. It must be a problem with the language module of Taichujuan that caused the translation to be wrong.

But after coming into contact with higher-level legends later, Xu Shu also made a judgment that the person who was able to kick him out of the "ruins" at that time must be a being of extremely high status.

At least it has to be at the level of "Zhu Wu" and "Ao Qian", or even higher level god-level!

Anyway, it is impossible to have this ability within the fifth level.

This may seem far-fetched, but it is not at all.

why?
Because Xu Shu discovered that although the voice of the so-called referee and host mentioned by Xie Xiaochan could not be understood directly, its unique tone, pitch and timbre were too special.

It is certain that this "host" is the same person as the one who kicked him out of the ruins by yelling "Get out"!

I can't hold this anymore!

This thing is not a "referee" at all!
This is the true master of this secret world! He is the god of this relic world! A being starting from the sixth level!

"I'm really convinced... Are you sure there is a subordinate relationship between this Death Ridge Secret Realm and the One Hundred Demons Night Parade Ruins???"

At this moment, Xu Shu looked at Xie Xiaochan, who was eager to try and had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and felt that he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat that he couldn't spit out.

Too pit!
It’s really a scam!
Yan Huoxing is right!

'Black Heart Rose' is really a dungeon killer!
If you team up with her, you can only go out at noon, because something will happen sooner or later!

If I had felt the presence of horrifying things like the fifth-order residual soul and the Mother Goddess's eye in the cathedral before, I could have used the cathedral's special features to make up for it.

There actually is a god-level being here, and it seems that he is an active god-level being that is still moving freely. This really makes Xu Shu feel that he can no longer deceive himself.

What he can be sure of now is that this [Death Ridge] does not belong to the [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] ruins at all!!!
Everyone mistakenly believes that the entry limit to Death Ridge is also level three. That's because according to the information so far, one can only run over by opening the space gate from Hokkaido in the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", which leads to the wrong perception: Death Ridge is a secret realm attached to the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" ruins, but its area is larger than that of an ordinary secret realm.

But in fact, some gossipers guessed correctly that Sigaoling is definitely a complete and independent relic!

It just happened to have a bug-like connection with the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", and there was a special entrance passage that could be entered from Hokkaido without the need for an incense burner to open it. This is why everyone misunderstood!
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, there are the remains of forbidden gods, there are sealed ancient monsters that were once fifth-level monsters, and even real "gods" that are still active and suspected to be intact...

This Death Ridge is actually a "super large relic"!
The kind with no upper limit on entry!
In reality, there must be an entrance to the ruins of Death Ridge, but no one has discovered it yet...

No, maybe someone has discovered it, but the person who discovered this problem might be a fourth-level or even fifth-level being. They have never entered the [Night Parade of One Hundred Demons] which has an "entry limit of three levels".

This is simply a huge misunderstanding!

"Alpaca, you guys really screwed me this time!
"Fortunately, this god-level being doesn't seem to be as bloodthirsty and murderous as the Mother Goddess' Eyeball, the Yamata no Orochi, and Indra. He seems... more, more... more playful?
"Or is it that He is just having fun in His almost endless life by watching us fight here, just like fighting crickets???"

Xu Shu watched with lingering fear.

At this time, the illusory golden characters in front of him also rearranged themselves:
[Quack! After an intense brainstorming session, you, a weak person like Level 3, actually discovered such a shocking secret! You are truly worthy of being a master with amazing wisdom! ]

[Your guess is absolutely correct. After some testing, the one talking to you is indeed the will of the Lord of this world! It is an existence that far exceeds the limits of human beings!]

[Existences like this are generally called by many names in the long history, such as: World Lord/Heavenly Way/Lord God/High-Dimensional Overlooker/etc. 】

[But is He the master of the entire Death Ridge? ]

[This cannot be confirmed. The Taichu Volume is very rigorous. Without direct contact and insufficient information, it is absolutely impossible to make rash inferences.]

[But this seems like a question worth further investigation.]

[Here is a suggestion, why don’t you try to have a more intimate contact with it? 】

[The Taichu Volume will escort you and detect more and more effective information. ]

【Don't worry! It's time to show your true courage and strength! Give it a try! 】

"roll."

"It's useless to say it after the fact!"

Xu Shu was extremely upset.

If the Taichu Volume could have interpreted and provided this information earlier, he would never have run around in this place.

You should definitely choose to stay in one place until you are teleported out!
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

Now that things have come to this, we can only hope that this "true god" is indeed as the many busybodies have found out, that He does not like killing, but only likes to fight crickets here...

Well, this possibility should be very high. Logically speaking, He wouldn't pay special attention to us, the second- and third-level ants...

Xu Shu briefly reviewed his memories of being a "Dragon God" and a "Human Immortal", trying to figure out the thoughts of these truly powerful people at the top of the era, and relaxed a little.

Having said that, since the "Kingdom of God" where Neqiba offered sacrifice was this place, I wonder what the relationship is between this "Cricket Fighting God" and "Ksitigarbha"?
What a pity! If I had just hidden here, it would have been better. Otherwise, I could have talked to Him about the friendship that led me to release Him from the Star Tower and not “call the police”, and asked Him to let me out…

Thinking of this, Xu Shu sighed deeply.

As time passed, what everyone thought was the "selection of assistants", in fact the "qualifying player channel", was finally completed.

A rather large light-quality cabin, like a cable car cabin, was parked in front of the compartment.

At the same time, the relatively clear mumbling voice, which did not carry any personal emotion, began to vibrate again with a sizzling and buzzing sound.

Xie Xiaochan yelled at the side: "Alright, alright, don't move. The referee will take the helpers in. Next, we just stay here and wait for the next light group to come pick us up. We can then divide into the spectator and challenger groups."

Sure enough, as she said this, they could see bean sprout-like light tentacles extending from the small spaceship in front, gently exploring and stretching in the air, groping the biological mother body, as if preparing to pull it into the car.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But in fact.

Xu Shu glanced at the Taichu volume, and the translation was:

【“Please take your seats, contestants. We are currently selecting the qualifiers based on the highest affinity with the environment. If you do not have affinity, you will lose your eligibility to participate, but you can still start the duel and watch the game.

“Please note that the qualifiers are limited to one person. The finals, number of participants, and challenge duration will be determined by the qualifiers. The better the results, the higher the final rewards will be.

"Those who lose the qualifying round will not be able to participate in the final."】

"..."

Are there any rewards?

Xu Shu glanced at the Taichu Volume, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

He felt that this unknown god was quite good at playing, as if he had really developed an "intelligent system" to work here.

But why do these rules feel like they were ripped out of some tower climbing game? I have a strong sense of déjà vu.

The downside is that this "artificial intelligence" seems a little unintelligent... If it were a smart god, it would probably choose to translate it into a language that everyone can understand...

In addition, this environmental affinity refers to whether there are members from the ruins in the team?
No wonder Xie Xiaochan said that without bringing "helpers", she could only watch the show.

It's so funny. In fact, they have completely lost the qualification to challenge, but this god will still force everyone to watch the whole game, which is commonly known as "the plot cannot be skipped"...

Xu Shu complained silently in his heart.

The rest of the people were completely unaware of this and were still watching with interest.

Yan Huoxing looked it up and down, and suddenly said, "To be honest, do you think this thing looks a bit like something?"

"what?"

"The plane from the Star Tower! Don't you think it looks similar?" Yan Huoxing gestured.

"Ah this..."

"Now that you mention it, I feel the same way."

"Yes, a little bit. It's just that this one seems a little petty."

"Well, coming to that, no one knows how the Star Tower was built. Do you think it is possible that it was built using materials from these ruins?" someone suddenly brought up.

"It's possible~"

"Hiss... If we take this thing away, wouldn't it be equivalent to being a hero to mankind? You've heard about the explosion of the star tower in area D8B3 before, right? Maybe this thing is more valuable than anything in the ruins!" Yan Huoxing's eyes lit up.

Xie Xiaochan said coldly: "I advise you not to do that. According to reliable information, someone did try to attack the referee here and tried to take away the ball of light, but guess what happened?"

"what?"

"At the beginning it was just a failure with no negative impact, but when they all thought they were safe and were about to leave, the man who took action suddenly had his head eaten by a woman who came out of the void!" Xie Xiaochan said seriously.

"Hiss, why does it sound like a ghost story? It's not very real, right?"

"Believe it or not, this thing can't be pulled away, and it won't affect your teammates. If you want to die, go ahead and try."

"Forget it, my life is more important. You know, I have always been an honest person."

"This thing moves very slowly. Stop talking and let's help push the helpers in."

...Listening to everyone's heated discussion, Xu Shu turned his eyes away expressionlessly and glanced at the Taichu Volume's prop column.

The icon placed first was the "Twenty-four of Zhu Xian" which he did not dare to take out.

“Heh, you are all wrong. The Star Tower has nothing to do with this thing, and after the Star Tower collapses, it cannot be rebuilt…” Xu Shu nodded silently.

The qualification selection for the "Cricket Fighting God" did not make everyone wait too long.

In just a moment, the same mumbling sound came out from the ball of light again.

Xu Shu read the translation from the Taichu volume:
[“The contestants have been selected, the channel has been built, and the new round of the world's number one martial arts challenge has officially begun!”]

[“Warmly welcome our challenger!”]

In an instant, a large number of fireworks burst out from the dome with crackling sounds;
In the duel arena below, layers of human figures began to set off fireworks, whistle, and scream as if playing a video, as if they had been on standby before and were now starting up.

It was really lively with loud drums and gongs and firecrackers.

"Wow, they're also the atmosphere group." Xu Shu couldn't help laughing.

Because this "God"'s performance was so down-to-earth that even he began to relax about this trip.

It seems that the bride is still a little bit reliable. Although the level of the "secret place" she chose is scary, it is obviously very safe and has many activities.

It seems that as long as I don't do anything out of the ordinary, I will be able to get out of this trip safely...

As he thought this, Xu Shu saw layers of lights and shadows lighting up.

next second.

Enshrouded in a burst of brilliant light, tentacle-like bean sprout-like light balls surged up.

They crossed the biological mother body and, following the direction explored by one of the tentacles, wrapped Xu Shu tightly with precision.

"Eh?" Xu Shu's eyes fixed, and before he could react, he found an extremely terrifying pressure coming from the ball of light. He dared not resist or move at all. He could only let it pull him into the "light cable car"!
At the same time, the light door clicked shut, and the chain turned, carrying Xu Shu to the duel arena below!

Xu Shu:?
Gu Pan:?
Gu Yueming:?

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Xie Xiaochan's eyes widened: "This, this is not right... The referee should pull the assistants, why did he pull Xu Shu over?"

For a moment, everyone looked at Xu Shu in the carriage, and then at the "biochemical mother" lying on the ground with an innocent face, not understanding what was going on.

At this time, Xu Shu had been taken by the cable car and thrown into the duel arena below.

There were enthusiastic cheers all around, and people were waving colorful flags and shouting. The figures fulfilled their duties as audience members to the limit and tried their best to create a good atmosphere.

Click, click, click!

An equally huge cage cable car fell down. It came from a beehive compartment in some corner and hit the ground with a clang. Amid the billowing smoke and dust, a young woman with long straight black hair, a long sword on her waist, and a curvaceous waist and hips, fell to the ground, rolled out, and stood proudly.

At the same time, the grand sound in the sky rang again, buzzing continuously.

Xu Shu vaguely saw Xie Xiaochan waving at him and shouting something.

But he didn't have time to think about it, because through the translation, he heard the following:

[First round of qualifying, challengers are in place! First round champions are in place! ]

[The life and death agreement has been signed, the challenge begins! 】
