The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1106 Unrivaled Fame
In the center of the cave, everyone was bound together by colorful, glowing ropes.

Just like those scavengers who were trapped back then.

The scavenger in charge of guarding the area held everyone's tokens and tossed them around, as if showing them off or as if provoking them.

Everyone was angry but dared not speak out.

"how so……"

Tu Yusheng couldn't understand how the previously favorable situation could suddenly lead to such a crushing defeat.
Then look at Huang Xiuwen.

His body was covered in blood, and his face was as pale as paper, making him look almost like a corpse.

But there was still a slight rise and fall in her chest.

It means he is still alive.

Fortunately, she had a special magical artifact hidden in her chest, so she was not killed by a single blow. However, she lost too much blood and did not receive any treatment, so she was on the verge of death.

And Nalan continued to shout tirelessly:
"Please allow me to treat Captain Huang, otherwise... otherwise the token will become invalid!"

At this moment, the leader of the scavengers arrived.

He was a man covered in sharp spikes.

Upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes, seemingly weighing his options.

However, the other party pretended to think for a long time before saying:

"No."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The crowd was immediately filled with indignation.

Huang Xiuwen risked her life for everyone, which is why she became a target and found herself in danger.

Shao Yan felt ashamed and regretful.

She initially had doubts about Huang Xiuwen.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiuwen fully cooperated with her plan and was seriously injured as a result. No matter how you look at it, she should take responsibility.

Unfortunately, they are now like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river, barely able to save themselves.

Are we just going to watch Huang Xiuwen die like this?

“We can’t let you come, but—” the leader changed the subject, “we have something better for her, something that can save her just as well…”

After saying that, he took out a syringe.

The liquid inside subtly revealed strange, iridescent colors under the light.

Everyone was startled and began to shout.

"What are you going to do!"

"stop!"

"Don't worry, this is a good thing," the man said slowly. "It can make your Captain Huang as powerful as us. You natives probably can't imagine how many people on the planet Banlan have wanted it but couldn't get it."

Others chimed in, "Yes, it's only because our group is so powerful that we have inventory. Don't worry, everyone gets a share, take your time."

Hearing these inexplicable words, everyone was filled with doubt, but they were powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as the colorful potion was pushed into Huang Xiuwen's body.

Strangely, Huang Xiuwen's near-death state miraculously eased, her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her breathing calmed down.

But the people were not reassured by this.

Sure enough, not long after, Huang Xiuwen suddenly started convulsing violently.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans poured down his face like rain, his face twitched violently, revealing an expression of extreme pain, and his body twisted in a very strange posture, as if something was churning inside him.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"Captain Huang!"

"What have you done to Captain Huang?!"

"What exactly did you inject her with?!"

The group of scavengers simply watched Huang Xiuwen's strange transformation with smiles, without uttering a single word.

Her body was undergoing a chilling transformation—

One by one, sharp thorns pierced through the skin, and the skeleton was broken and reassembled in a way that defied common sense, growing back into a more slender and twisted shape.

It seemed to be approaching some kind of alien creature, and also getting closer to these scavengers.

But she never died.

At the same time, the leader took out more medicine and prepared to distribute it to his subordinates.

"Are you ready?"

The scavengers grinned maliciously, the needles flashing coldly in the air. Some even licked their lips, their eyes filled with fanaticism and excitement.

The trial participants held their breath, fearing what awaited them.

But unexpectedly—

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side.

It was Huang Xiuwen who went unnoticed!
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and the glowing ropes binding her body exploded!
Her body had changed drastically. Rows of bone spurs grew on her body, her limbs became long and powerful, her muscles were bulging, and she was crawling like a spider about to pounce on its prey.

Then, she moved!

The light suddenly went out.

They were plunged into complete darkness.

All that could be heard were the sounds of heavy objects crashing, flesh tearing, bones breaking, and heart-wrenching screams.

It looked as if wild beasts were fighting.

The trial participants were filled with doubt and surprise.

But there was nothing they could do but cower and avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Finally, someone shouted:
"We can't beat them! We're running away!"

"The wind is strong! Hurry!"

A flurry of hurried footsteps sounded, growing ever more distant.

Finally, everything quieted down.

With a loud bang, the barrier fell back down.

A sense of security has returned.

The light comes on.

Huang Xiuwen, covered in blood, came into view.

His body was riddled with bloody holes left by the thorns that had been shot out. As he crawled shakily, his body slowly straightened up, his bones cracking.

Everyone was shocked.

I was speechless for a moment.

"...Finally, they're gone."

Huang Xiuwen spoke in a low voice.

Then, he suddenly lost his strength and knelt on the ground.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, but unfortunately they were all tied up and unable to help.

All I could do was watch as Huang Xiuwen, her face as pale as paper, struggled to support herself, supporting herself little by little.

Sweat and blood dripped down together, her hair was soaked and clung to her cheeks, revealing a stunningly resilient beauty.

She reached out with trembling hands and used the bone spikes in her hands to untie the nearest person.

It was Shao Yan, whom they had never gotten along with.

Shao Yan bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, I... I had some doubts about you..."

"It's alright, it's all for the collective good." Huang Xiuwen waved her hand.

Shao Yan gritted her teeth: "But it was because of my suggestion that you got hurt..."

"Stop talking," Huang Xiuwen interrupted softly, "Go help the others..."

One by one, people were unraveled, their hearts were touched, and respect gathered in their chests.

Huang Xiuwen finally went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Nalan rushed forward and immediately cast a healing spell on her.

Having just returned from the brink of death and fought ten opponents single-handedly, Huang Xiuwen's injuries were extremely severe, not to mention that she was still independently supporting this restrictive formation.

and.

Even at this point, Huang Xiuwen still said with deep apology:
"I'm sorry... I couldn't get everyone's tokens back..."

Everyone expressed their opinions:
"It doesn't matter!"

"Captain Huang's safety is more important!"

"Yeah, it's already quite an achievement to be able to drive these people away!"

"Where there is life, there is hope!"

As Huang Xiuwen listened to these words, she slowly forced out a pale smile:

"Thanks……"

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely retrieve the token within these two hours, before the passage opens..."

Everyone was moved to tears, touched that Huang Xiuwen, despite her frail condition, still found the courage to inspire others.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out from outside:

"Whose token is this? Come and claim it!"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Huang Xiuwen's body stiffened.

The others looked at each other, their expressions a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, but then their emotions transformed into pure ecstasy.

About fifty people were slowly walking over.

His body shone with a dazzling light, almost blinding people.

Leading the group was a cool-looking woman in a blue robe, with a large string of tokens in her hand, strung on a golden tentacle that seemed to be alive, jingling and swaying in the air.

Tu Yusheng and Batel naturally recognized each other.

A look of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes.

Nalan recognized the aura immediately and rushed over without hesitation.

"Sheng Sheng!" The woman smiled gently and patted Nalan on the back.

It was Liu Sheng.

Others recognized familiar faces in the group, rushed forward excitedly, and embraced each other, weeping.

Huang Xiuwen stared blankly at all of this.

"How...how did you get in? There were clearly any restrictions..."

Her voice was dry.

Liu Sheng hadn't spoken yet.

Someone nearby excitedly explained:
"Miss Liu is quite remarkable! She is extremely proficient in restrictions. This kind of formation is like... um, like what again?"

Another person added, "It's like strolling leisurely in your own backyard!"

"Yes, I don't know how she did it, but Miss Liu spotted the life gate of this restriction at a glance and led us directly there, and we were in no time!"

"If we hadn't sensed the aura of the restriction, we would have almost thought you were so bold as to leave the gate wide open!"

"However, it is precisely because of Miss Liu's abilities that she was able to join forces with Miss Wang to infiltrate the enemy camp and even venture deep into the prison to rescue us!"

"exactly!"

"Luckily, we have Miss Liu and Miss Wang!"

"Moreover, Miss Liu can accurately sense where the new gathering place is from this chaotic space! That's amazing!"

"Just now, as we were rushing this way, Miss Liu sensed another presence in the space and immediately identified the ambush!"

"Cut-off and efficient, one against ten—"

"Ahem." Liu Sheng coughed lightly. "Everyone contributed as well."

"Miss Liu is too kind, she even left us the chance to finish her off."

Let us avenge our defeat!

"What's even more coincidental is that those people were carrying your tokens!"

The newly returned group chattered excitedly, describing the events in vivid detail.

The atmosphere became incredibly lively, even dispelling much of the somber mood that had permeated the cave.

As the trial participants claimed their tokens, they secretly observed the legendary woman, Liu Sheng.

I also vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar.

As for the trial participants from the Tang Kingdom, although their memories were somewhat fragmented due to quantum collapse syndrome, they remembered clearly—

Liu Sheng was the top scholar in last year's imperial examination.

He was known as "Liu Sanyuan".

Later, it was said that he disappeared during the ascent from Chang'an, and that he died in a conspiracy within the temple, which caused quite a stir.

It is truly unexpected that he has now quietly participated in the trials and returned in this way.

But it's not a good time to ask too many questions.

The joy of the reunion overwhelmed everything.

Meanwhile, everyone admired the shimmering divine light emanating from the returning individual and inquired about its origin.

"After escaping from prison, Miss Liu led us to search various caves, saying that she wanted to replenish our lost weapons and supplies from the token."

"As you know, Miss Liu is extremely proficient in the Dao of Combat, and she can recognize how to activate a restriction at a glance."

"So we had a smooth journey, were incredibly efficient, and carried so many spoils that we were overwhelmed."

"That's why I arrived a step too late..."

"Otherwise, you might not have suffered this calamity."

For a moment, those who stayed behind were filled with envy.

At this moment, Liu Sheng waved his hand.

Hundreds of orbs of light flew out, each containing various treasures.

Magical treasures, spiritual artifacts, array plates, talismans, elixirs, and so on, are just a few examples.

"You can take these too."

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng was so generous, and everyone cheered and shared the food with each other.

At this moment, Faceless, who had been taken hostage, also appeared before everyone.

At first, everyone was furious when they saw him.

But after hearing that he had helped a lot after being taken hostage, he reluctantly put down his weapon, but stared coldly as he was taken into a room and locked up.

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, Huang Xiuwen stood far away in a corner.

She stared for a long time, narrowed her eyes, and then turned and left.

He was just a hero in the public eye.

He quietly left the stage at that moment, but no one paid any attention.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng's voice came from behind.

"Huang Xiuwen, is that right?"

Huang Xiuwen stopped in her tracks.

Turning around calmly, she saw that it was Liu Sheng who had caught up with her.

“Miss Huang, since you haven’t fully recovered yet, how about you let me manage the array’s central hub for the time being?”

"I have some experience in dealing with Daolue, which may allow me to further strengthen this formation."

Huang Xiuwen frowned: "This is an ancient formation passed down from Peach Blossom Island in Xuanzhou. The Huang family has refined it for generations, and it has reached a state of perfection. How could it possibly be improved?"

Liu Sheng said calmly, "You'll know once you try."

"Furthermore, Miss Huang, given your condition, you should rest quietly. Why don't you choose a room to rest properly?"

Huang Xiuwen's face suddenly turned cold:
"You came here just to reap the rewards, didn't you?"

"What makes you say that, Captain Huang?"

"Heh, you know it yourself."

Liu Sheng's smile faded: "Did I want to reap the rewards, or did Captain Huang forcefully create this opportunity?"

Huang Xiuwen retorted, "What do you mean!"

"Captain Huang, why are you so angry?" Liu Sheng's eyes turned slightly cold. "I'm just reminding you—while the power of the New Humans is strong, it's not necessarily easy to control, especially when you first acquire it. I sincerely advise you to rest well and calm down."

"Hmph, don't worry about it."

Huang Xiuwen left after saying this, and hurriedly turned and left.

Liu Sheng watched her retreating figure and slowly shook her head.

At this moment, Wang Dongdong came closer, looking in the direction Huang Xiuwen had gone, and asked through gritted teeth:
Why didn't you expose her on the spot?

Liu Sheng responded softly, "She won't admit it, and we don't have any solid evidence."

“Faceless is just an outsider to the group. He only knows that everyone entered here through the field searcher, and that there is an order to seize the token, as well as a general plan for his arrival.”

"But how they found out about our trial, how they made contact, and what their connection was with Huang Xiuwen or even Xuanzhou, we have no idea."

"Moreover, the people of Xuanzhou are on her side. If she turns around and bites back, she might take the entire Xuanzhou camp with her."

Wang Dongdong's expression changed slightly: "That won't do! Although the Xuanzhou people don't make up a large proportion now, their strength is the most intact. Losing this group is equivalent to losing half of our fighting power."

"That's right, so we can't just split up now."

"But how can you be sure these Xuanzhou people aren't with her?" Wang Dongdong asked again.

"The more people know about this kind of thing, the worse it is. Of course, it's easier to win people's hearts by using the banner of justice. How many people will be like her, harboring selfish motives and disregarding the collective? That's hard to say. What if things don't go smoothly and you end up being bitten by your own people?"

"Moreover, now that we know Huang Xiuwen has a problem, she is not sure how much we know."

Liu Sheng's gaze darkened slightly.

"Right now, she's in the open while we're in the shadows. We might as well wait for her to slip up on her own."

"I understand, Sheng Sheng, you're always right."

Wang Dongdong muttered, her voice still carrying a hint of annoyance.

Liu Sheng turned her head and saw her pouting.

A hint of helplessness crept into his eyes.

She knew the girl was still angry.

On the way, Liu Sheng's skin finally gave way, revealing her true face, which almost scared Wang Dongdong to death.

They naturally and openly acknowledged each other.

She didn't intend to keep it a secret for long.

"I really almost died back then..."

"However, some things are very complicated, so it's hard to say..."

"I know, you always have your reasons."

Wang Dongdong's eyes were slightly red.

At this moment, Shao Yan walked over, glanced at Wang Dongdong's expression, and understood everything.

She was, of course, shocked.

I understand Wang Dongdong's resentment, but I'm mostly happy that Liu Sheng is back.

Without asking any further questions, she simply said softly:
"By the way, Liu Sheng, everyone is waiting for you to make a decision. What's next?"

These words served as a way to defuse the situation, and were also about the important matter at hand.

Liu Sheng gave her a grateful look.

"We haven't received all of everyone's tokens yet, so we still need to go back once."

“Go back…” Shao Yan pondered.

“Now we have a total of seventy people, and everyone is fully armed. When we return to the cave we know so well, coupled with Sheng Sheng’s strength and mastery of array formations, we should still have a certain advantage,” Wang Dongdong said seriously.

“That makes sense.” Shao Yan’s eyes lit up.

"Moreover, I have an idea—I'm afraid we must completely eliminate this group, otherwise the consequences will be dire... You'll see soon enough."

Liu Sheng's gaze darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Let everyone rest for a bit first, and we'll set off in half an hour."

　I've been quite busy since the New Year, and I might be busy until April or May. Anyway, I will try my best to keep updating. Thank you all for your continued support!
