Chapter 481: Evil Spirits, Holy Grail War (asking for monthly tickets)
"Clap clap clap!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Ow—"

"Why are you screaming so loudly? If you scream loudly, you won't have to die?"

"Be good, don't run, come here."

"Snapped!"

"Woo!"

"Chi~"

In the dim house, the sound of fists hitting flesh, screams, bones and flesh breaking, and chewing could be heard one after another.

With tears in his eyes, Xu Shu firmly controlled the situation and didn't let anyone escape. In the end, he watched helplessly as the little jade Buddha devoured the former "top-notch" panda man senior.

He originally thought about whether to spare his life and let him do odd jobs in the band, but unfortunately this senior seemed to be completely occupied by bloodthirsty desires, a monster completely dominated by erosion, and was of no use to him at all.

In addition, the little jade Buddha is an extreme advocate of men not to play, so she firmly disagrees to set this precedent. There is a high probability that even if she is aware of it, she will not be able to escape this disaster.

Helplessly, Xu Shu chose the best method, asking the corpse dog, An Lan and other Yangshen evil spirits to help send this old friend to reincarnation so that he would not have to suffer the evil of having to work after death.

As for the other masked mute man, because he was completely unable to communicate and was just an ordinary yang spirit without the special seven souls suffix, Xu Shu also showed mercy and sent him to death.

This whole sad process, although it seems like a long story, actually lasted less than ten minutes.

"Alas, I recall the days when Kamiya Ichiru was just entering the technical high school. He was good at singing and dancing, and made a fortune from all directions. After he converted to religion, his strength improved by leaps and bounds! Although I have only met these seniors a few times, we are still classmates after all, and there is also an imperceptible comradeship in the decisive battle!"

"Now when I visit my homeland again, I find that my old friends are facing each other with weapons, a life-and-death situation. It's really chilling to think about it."

Xu Shu put the two crystals into his pocket, stood up, and muttered to himself with a sense of loss, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

In fact, he was still a little uneasy.

Where is the uneasiness?
Since entering the ruins, I have met old friends several times.

It's okay about the Death Ridge, since I've already left it anyway; just take the Japanese continent named "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" as an example, I've already coincidentally run into many old acquaintances, my friends in nightclubs, my biological parents, the ancient strong men I've fought with, and so on.

Now, a senior who used to be from the same supernatural organization "Judgement High School" has reappeared.

It can be seen that these people who should have disappeared with the sinking of Japan, after appearing in the ruins, all became evil spirits without exception, with some being strong and some weak, and some being high and some being low.

It would be fine if these were just old acquaintances with whom I had a casual relationship, but looking at the current situation, who can guarantee that we won’t encounter some special people in the future?
For example, there are cute school girls, gentle seniors, mature school doctors, gangsters, centenarians, mysterious queens, and even some blue-eyed, white-haired kings whose names cannot be mentioned...

Oh, I am ashamed to say this! It is all because Kamiya Ichiru is too good at manipulating people. Many people here have very deep relationships with him.

Many of them even gave birth to children for him early on.

With such a deep relationship, it would be really confusing if this happened~ Well, of course, although he felt emotional, Xu Shu still knew very well that he had to be ruthless when taking action.

If you really meet someone like that, let your ex-lover suffer. I will bear the infamy of being the one who cheated on you and then abandoned you.

It’s all the fault of that damned Kamiya Ichiru, an idiot who doesn’t know how to restrain himself. He really misled me!

Xu Shu beat his chest and stamped his feet.

[Damn, wasn't that your own fault? Can you blame others for this? You are such a rebellious... Wait, you are a fraud, right?]

Taichujuan suddenly realized.

"..."

If you don't even give me an evaluation of what's the use of you, then what's the use of you?

Xu Shu felt a little disgusted.

He did not stop, only waiting for the Yang Spirits in the small jade Buddha to completely digest the new nutrients, and then burned the remains of the deceased on the scene to ashes, and then pressed his chest and said in silence: "Rest in peace, may there be no ghostwriters in heaven."

Then we traveled smoothly all the way back to the edge of the ruined town.

What made Xu Shu feel relieved was that the four girls were not ungrateful and did not sneak away when he was away.

Swish!
Xu Shu waved his hand, dismantled the solid fortress composed of iron walls and copper walls, and nodded to the women waiting there.

At this time, not only did he see off his two old friends, but the "deep diver" Su Xiao also completed the salvation of the mermaid.

For some reason, she vaguely felt that when Xu Shu came over, the mermaid on his body seemed to raise her eyelids and glared at her?
But when I looked closely, I saw that the other person had his eyes closed, so I didn't know if it was an illusion.

Su Xiao did not think much about it, but was quite conscious. She took out the two small gold-plated characters from the ashes on the ground and handed them to Xu Shu obediently: "Director Xu, these are the Buddhist characters left by the mermaid after her death."

"Okay, time to work!"

Xu Shu didn't hesitate and grabbed it.

There are two twisted words "是" and "犬" on it.

"Counting this, I now have six characters. Eight feet straight to the dog. Well, if we add the three characters 'holes and people'..."

"Strange, it doesn't make sense to read, and it has a vaguely obscene flavor."

"Speaking of which, this half-step soul is related to the soul of Yamabu, and the wheel of rebirth is also related to Ksitigarbha. The ruins are full of traces left by this guy, almost as many as me~"

Xu Shu complained silently and kept these things in his heart.

He turned to look at the girls who were still a little nervous, and after a little thought, he slowly asked, "Do you have any plans to go somewhere?"

"Uh, us?"

This question made Huang Jun, Yu Qiuling and others stunned for a moment.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Haha, you have actually seen my situation. When I am alone, even if I really want to enter some dangerous secret realms, I am unable to do so.

"On the contrary, if there is any good place for you to go, it won't be difficult for me to get a share of it."

The reason why Xu Shu said this was actually very simple.

After experiencing several bad lucks before, he no longer had any hope for his luck.

It is not advisable to continue staying where you are. This place has been crushed by a giant ship before. Who knows if the giant ship will definitely not return to the original route?
Since it seems so difficult to choose, it is better to give the choice to the other party.

They have "assassins" whose strength is not very high. If there is any predetermined removal, they can mostly avoid some danger by following them.

This is called making reasonable use of the momentum of people to hedge against the "unfavorable" weather!

"Huh? Ah this..."

Finally understanding what Xu Shu meant, the girls looked flattered.

You know, they were originally waiting for the "big shot" Xu Shu to give them orders or decide their fate!
And the other party actually asked for his opinion?
This big guy seems to be too respectful to us wild low-sequence beings...

They looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes, wondering if Xu Shu had other intentions.

For a moment, I was hesitant to make a decision blindly.

But in the end, it was the "assassin" Huang Jun who had the most decisive attitude.

She didn't hesitate for too long before calmly answering, "Since you ask that, sir, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, our original plan was to wipe out the second-level corpse evil that was entrenched here, and then immediately go to 'Shibufuwan Valley' to participate in the joint suppression of radioactive creatures."

"Wait, what valley?" Xu Shu suddenly became alert.

"It's not a complete taste." Huang Jun repeated.

"???"

Xu Shu almost spit out a mouthful of water.

God damn it, I can’t finish shooting in the valley!

Who came up with this name?
Could it be Shibuya? The city center full of monsters?
But isn’t that the most dangerous and chaotic place?

According to the information provided by Wujie, it is suspected that 'Kamiya Ichiru' is there, and is surrounded by a large number of evil spirits of high levels and strength.

What are these few little shrimps doing going over there? Are they looking for death?

As for radioactive creatures, Xu Shu had seen this term before on the Shengge Network. Xie Xiaochan also mentioned it not long ago, saying that there were all kinds of strange creatures such as rat-men, ant-headed men, carrot-hole men, etc., which were the remnants of the He light radiation pollution that had appeared during the disaster.

But isn't that an island full of corrosive monsters? It is said that you must be accompanied by an "alchemist" or you cannot enter.

This doesn't seem right, does it? There's no alchemist among these people...

Xu Shu was quite confused, so he asked his questions directly.

Huang Jun was stunned for a moment and then replied, "Sir, maybe you don't know much about these low-level things. Shibufuwan Valley is not a radiation island, but a volcanic basin located in the direction of the estuary on the south side of the central part of the continent. It was renamed recently because some special cultural relics were discovered. In the earliest times, this place was called the Zoo. Maybe you have heard of it?"

"Oh~~" Xu Shu suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

However, in everyone's hopeful eyes, he said lightly, "I've never heard of it."

"..." Everyone's expression froze, but they couldn't say to his face that he was ignorant, so they could only complain silently in their hearts.

This officer not only has a good attitude, but also has a lot of knowledge!

Huang Jun was relatively calm and explained in a very organized manner: "The volcano here is quite special. It is hidden under the basin. From time to time, it will eject some monsters that are somewhat similar to those on Radiation Island through some special uplifted cave passages. The number of monsters is endless."

"...So there's no way to finish shooting at the valley!" Xu Shu widened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes, that's right! But this should, should be a coincidence."

Huang Jun probably also realized some of the hidden meanings of this name, and continued with a little embarrassment, "In short, this place is in a special location. It is considered the second circle outside the center, and it is quite far away from the most dangerous inner circle. Monsters are constantly coming, so as a result, it has become a fixed place for us... um, low-level teams to farm resources. It is considered a relatively safe resource-intensive area in the ruins."

"Oh~ I see." Xu Shu suddenly realized.

He had also heard of the "central layer", which actually referred to the place where the final battle of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade took place, where Kamiya Ichiryu was.

It has been almost two months since the appearance of the relic [One Hundred Demons Night Parade]. Naturally, some of the initial development information has long been abandoned. There are many newer and more complete strategies, and a large number of special terms have also been updated.

At this time, the witch Chen Shiyun next to him suddenly interrupted and said, "In fact, it cannot be said that there is no danger at all. Although the strength of the monsters that were sprayed out varies, most of them are only level one, and there are occasionally level two, but because of the large number, the danger is actually not small.

“Plus, there have been many cases where third-level monsters have been ejected, so we can’t be careless.

"But fortunately, there are a lot of exploration teams gathering nearby all year round. If we can really find a cave where a third-level monster explodes, it would be considered a jackpot. However, this place is in great need of strongmen and veterinarians. Tieyi in our team died a long time ago, so we had already given up. But since you are willing to come..."

At this point, the four of them simultaneously turned their eyes to Xu Shu, who immediately understood.

"I see, there are corpse spirits in this place, right?" he said lightly.

"Yep!"

The four of them nodded their heads like rattles.

The “robber” Yu Qiuling said in a low voice, a little embarrassed, “So if you are here, it might be a little hard, and you need to keep, keep…”

She seemed a little shy to speak up and always looked weak, making it hard to understand why such a person became a "robber".

But before she could finish her hesitation, Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, it's settled. You lead the way!"

Originally he just wanted to avoid the "natural disaster", but it turned out that there was such a fixed monster spawning place in the ruins. Xu Shu really regretted that he didn't know about it before.

You should have told me there was a fixed place to spawn corpse spirits! Why am I still looking for them everywhere!

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, the four girls gritted their teeth, put aside their worries, and set off decisively.

The few of them found the right direction, with the "assassin" Huang Jun exploring in the front to open up a safe channel.

During this process, everyone was somewhat surprised to find that this "Lord Xu Shu of the Judgment Department" seemed to be very approachable.

As a superior, he never made any comments on the path Huang Jun chose, but just followed quietly.

This made everyone less wary of him and more favorable towards him.

When they were halfway through the journey, Xu Shu suddenly had an idea and asked casually, "Hey, Xiao Chen, what did you just say? What did you mean that Tieyi from your team had died a long time ago? Didn't I almost save him?"

Xu Shu was a little puzzled. He had just seen the other party being drained dry by the mermaid due to exhaustion.

Hearing this, the not-so-small "witch" Chen Shiyun said casually: "Oh, our iron armor was burned by the fire-wooo!"

Yu Qiuling, who was standing next to her, accurately covered her mouth with a slap, dragged her aside with brute force, and stuffed the word "fire" back into her mouth.

Then, facing Xu Shu's surprised and puzzled eyes, she continued: "Well, Commander Xu, she remembered it wrongly. You are not mistaken. Our team's iron armor is not strong enough and was harmed by the mermaid."

As she spoke, the weak female "robber" in pink blinked her eyes delicately and showed a pitiful look to Xu Shu.

"Forehead……"

This girl doesn't look like a good person. They say pink-haired girls are all black when cut open. The ancients were right~
Xu Shu clicked his tongue. Although he could see that the other party was indeed hiding something, he had no interest in prying into the other party's privacy.

He said no more and followed silently.

Soon, a huge raised hill appeared in front of us. It was not particularly high and at first glance looked like a small plateau with a steep slope connecting it to the ground.

When you reach the top of the hill, you can see a huge basin in front of you, which is at least dozens of miles in radius.

A circle of bare hills rise up around this place, and their shadows rise and fall under the dark clouds, like the corpse of a giant dragon that has fallen here.

There are a lot of building ruins in the basin, with steel jungles and primitive jungles competing for beauty. In between, you can see huge diffuse cave passages everywhere, which seem to have been formed by meteorite impacts.

Xu Shu stood on the edge of the volcanic basin, looking at the cave entrances that appeared one after another below.

Those dark holes were like festering abscesses, emitting dark green air waves every few minutes, carrying monsters of various shapes and forms, which were thrown out from the holes into various towns, valleys, and forests like running away.

Then, teams of extraordinary people swarmed in, wielding swords or cannons, chasing after the monsters that were knocked unconscious and slaughtering them.

Even from a long distance away, you could hear shouts and explosions coming from the ruins in the basin.

Of course, there are also teams that are chased and killed by dense groups of monsters, but they are not many.

But it is worth mentioning that after observation, Xu Shu found that all the teams fighting in the basin had a huge thing in common.

That is, every team has a tall and strong man riding a mermaid at the front to protect everyone from wind and rain.

In a short period of time, dozens of teams of extraordinary people appeared, and they were all like this!

At first glance, there was wailing everywhere and gunfire everywhere.

This is just the range that Xu Shu can see with his naked eyes.

It is conceivable that in the deeper valleys farther away and more vast within this basin, there are countless brothers of the "Hercules" path, fighting for their dreams and sacrificing themselves here.

They have hideous faces, and they sacrificed their own face, body, and spirit in order to create comfortable output conditions for their teammates among a large number of corpses. They can be said to be first-class heroes, majestic and respectable.

"An exploration of this scale... this can't even be called an exploration. This basin is basically equivalent to a fixed battlefield."

"Hiss, I understand. This is the legendary Holy Grail War! As expected of Shibufutani, it's truly spectacular!"

"There are so many caves, so many monsters, so many people and so many fish. It's impossible to get rid of them all. It's impossible to get rid of them all!"

Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh, and reached out to touch the mermaid's pretty face, but the latter gave him a displeased look in response.

But at the same time, Xu Shu had a small question.

Is it possible that you have seen this huge basin full of caves formed by meteorite craters?

Where could it be? (Note 1)

Xu Shu tilted his head to try to recall for a while, but couldn't remember.

However, after a brief moment of reflection, he thought that this vague sense of familiarity came from the time when he was still an ordinary person, and he did not dwell on it any further.

In the past, I traveled around and mastered so many mountains and peaks, and explored so many ravines and valleys that it is not worth mentioning at all.

"I think there won't be any more accidents this time! So many low-sequence beings are playing in the basin, treating it as a battlefield between humans and evil spirits. If there were any hidden 'disasters' here, it wouldn't be a gathering place for such a large number of people."

Xu Shu, who had a very meticulous logical thinking, took a deep breath, rubbed his hands and said to everyone: "If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to step forward, spotted a cave about ten kilometers away that was wriggling and suspected of being about to erupt, and casually opened up the terrifyingly large "iron wall fortress" again, covering everyone inside, and strode in.

It felt as if he didn't take the fighting atmosphere here seriously at all.

Huang Jun and the others looked at each other, and immediately followed Xu Shu's steps, not daring to leave the iron wall's defense range at all.

Compared with Xu Shu, they naturally couldn't be so calm.

He was only at the second level of cultivation, and these monsters were not weak either. If he was not careful, there was a great risk of capsizing in the ditch.

Therefore, Huang Jun activated his "bloodthirsty" ability to the maximum, always on the alert for any monsters that might pounce on him.

However, in this chaotic "evil spirit battlefield", her "bloodthirsty" ability was greatly restricted.

After all, there are potential dangers everywhere. It's like when she scans the map with her radar, it's all red dots. She can't even see them all, and her brain is almost overloaded.

But it won’t work if you don’t sweep it.

Huang Jun knew that if he and Xu Shu fought together, they would have to sweep, sweep hard, sweep thoroughly, and sweep madly.

"Sisters, although Director Xu is very strong, you all have to protect your own lives!" Huang Jun reminded silently.

"Got it." The other three certainly would not neglect it and immediately divided the work and worked together.

Chen Shiyun did a good job in her job as the path of life, almost sticking to Xu Shu, and shining the halo of "vitality" on him, blessing him and making him bigger, stronger and more powerful.

The "Deep Diver" doesn't have a very good effect here, so it condenses a layer of gas around it, causing wind and waves to surge. No one knows what its specific function is, but it's probably mainly to demonstrate its presence.

However, Yu Qiuling, the "robber", was very cunning. Every time she passed the entrance of a cave where someone was already at the "slaughter resurrection point", she would suddenly reach out and grab something from the air.

Then, a monster was dragged into Xu Shu's fortress through the air in a flash - this was the signature skill of the "robber", 'robbery'!
She directly stole the monster that was about to be killed in the melee among passers-by. This is a standard way of stealing heads!

These stolen evil spirits have all kinds of strange appearances, including a child with lotus leaves on his head, a beauty covered in bone fragments, a girl with braids and a mouth on the back of her head, and so on. Some are ghosts, and some are corpses.

The common point is that most of them were fighting and were beaten to death, and when they were dragged in, they were almost exhausted to death.

Xu Shu didn't even need to do anything, the "little fishman" Su Xiao next to him could pick up the harpoon and stab these dying monsters to death with one stab.

She was actually a little embarrassed at first. After all, what was the difference between this behavior and picking peaches?
But as the tempting erosion crystals exploded, Su Xiao no longer had such concerns. Since no one saw it, she might as well just pretend it didn't happen!

In fact, there were several times when the theft was discovered by other teams. At first, the other party was angry and wanted to question them, but after seeing the exaggeratedly large "iron wall and copper wall" that wrapped them up, they shut their mouths and pretended not to see it.

Under this unprecedented treatment, Su Xiao's attitude naturally changed, and she began to focus on finishing off the enemy.

This movement was so smooth and fluid, and it was smoother than stabbing a badger in a watermelon field. Every thrust was accurate, and the jingling crystals exploded all over the ground.

In just over ten minutes, before reaching the target cave he had chosen, he had already harvested more than a dozen crystals.

At this point, the four girls looked at Xu Shu's back without any worries or vigilance. They only had one thought in their minds.

If I had known earlier that there was such a reliable "Iron Armor" in the world, I could have turned the battlefield of evil spirits into a wheat harvesting scene. How miserable my life would have been before!

——Perhaps because they had been traveling together for such a long time and because Xu Shu was so approachable, everyone subconsciously forgot an important point.

The one in front of me is not a second-level "Iron Armor", but a "Dragon Elephant"!
Who cares?

At least for now, we are all comrades in the same boat!
……

Xu Shu naturally noticed the "stealing" behavior of the girls.

He frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the teams passing by along the way, they didn't seem to be particularly angry, so he thought about it and said nothing more.

"It seems that the resources here are so abundant that they don't mind being robbed occasionally? They are quite warm and hospitable. If someone dares to be so dishonest and steal my spoils, I will not let him get away with it today no matter what." Xu Shu smacked his lips and sighed.

As he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xu Shu began to carefully look at the dark passage in front of him.

You may not feel it from a distance, but once you get closer, these meteorite craters and caves are still very oppressive.

It was at least twenty meters in diameter, and the surrounding soil looked like human bones. The rock wall at the entrance of the cave revealed strange patterns in the shadows.

Those wrinkles that looked like they were naturally formed by a meteorite impact turned out to be countless twisted inscriptions upon closer inspection, like primitive totem worship from ancient times, like countless moving lips.

At this time, after a period of wriggling and expanding, the outer lips of the cave entrance, like the body part of a giant beast, turned outward and were covered with crystalline red blood vessels.

Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom~~
There was a sizzling sound like boiling water inside. Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and took a step back slightly. Suddenly, thick green liquid rushed out of the cave in front of him.

It's like an oil well gushing out, rich and fiery!
Following a teeth-grinding scream, a croaking monster rushed out visibly.

——A lonely one!
"Oh?" Xu Shu frowned slightly, realizing that things didn't seem simple.
