Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms.

Chapter 250: Just tell me whether you won or not?
Dao Chi looked at the one-eyed young man in armor in front of him and his sturdy body.

In any case, there is no sign of any "strategist" in him.

The next second, the magic circle under Zhou Yan's feet disappeared. At the same time, Dao Chi looked at the palm of his right hand, and sure enough, as the rumors said, a 魙箜 appeared.

And Dao Chi seemed to have finally accepted the result that the guy he summoned with the spell to summon a "counselor" and the legendary relic of Jia Xu looked like a military general.

He took out a cigarette and lit it again, took a deep breath, and looked at Zhou Yan silently: "So, Mr. Xu Cong, how should I address you?"

"You can indeed call me Jia Xu. Of course, if you feel it is inappropriate, you can just call me counselor." Zhou Yan said casually.

At the same time when Dao Chi obtained the Lu, information flowed in front of Zhou Yan.

[You have acquired some of the characteristics of Jia Xu]

[Sure Kill: Confine yourself and the target to a certain area and cannot escape until one of them dies (cooling time is one yin day)]

[Deep Conspiracy: When you are listed as the target of conspiracy or trap by others, you will be warned (permanent)]

[Luanwu: Make all the Lu Cong in the area know the location of other Lu Cong immediately, lasting for one Yin time day (can only be used once)]

Oh? Interesting!
Zhou Yan looked at the three traits he had acquired.

The last time this kind of extra help was given when walking in the world of disaster was before the final battle in Long's world.

Generally speaking, when extra assistance appears, it means that at least [Order] believes that it is a bit difficult for normal travelers to pass the level.

This is also quite consistent with the depth rating of "4" for this evil world.

Previously, he had been to the energy crystal rift under the Suzaku Palace, which was similar to the one in "Monster Hunter World". The depth rating was only "3 to 4", and the most powerful monster there was the mountaintop storm dragon that he had never seen before. It was said that only a strong person in the Mad Realm could defeat it.

Zhou Yan slowly walked in front of Dao Chi. While walking, he equipped himself with his "Ghost King's Arm" to restore the function of his left hand.

The Shadow Trigger and the Golden Cudgel are both left in the main world, and they can only be officially turned into items after reaching two stars.

Dao Chi didn't feel strange when he saw his left hand appear out of thin air.

Xu Cong's body is condensed from ghost energy. Although he looks like he has flesh and blood, when he is not affected or restricted by the enemy's ghost energy, it is easy for him to regenerate broken limbs.

He shook his head: "Then, Mr. Advisor, I will need your assistance for the rest of our trip in Fengdu."

As he spoke, he pointed at himself and said, "You can call me a Taoist Chi, a wandering Taoist priest in a declining Taoist temple."

Zhou Yan nodded, and then, with a slight movement of his mind, he said, "Is someone chasing you?"

"You mean these scum?" Dao Chi glanced at the guy he had knocked to the ground and sneered, "The rats of the Dong family always go out to stop other exorcists from entering Fengdu every time the Yin time is approaching."

"Dong family?" Zhou Yan smiled slightly.

"They are the two major exorcist families entrenched in Fengdu City, the Dong family and the Chu family. They are very powerful and both want to enjoy the gift of the Samsara Map alone, but the Dong family is more sinister than the Chu family."

Dao Chi scratched his chin: "What a hassle."

Zhou Yan stretched his arms and legs and said, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let me help you get rid of the other rats first."

Dao Chi's face changed: "Anyone else!?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the shabby door of the abandoned factory was kicked in, and then a sturdy man walked in with a dozen of his followers.

Each of them held a weapon in their hands and looked quite grim.

The big man walked away and said in a cold voice: "Master Daochi, the time of the dead is approaching, and you dare to come to my Fengdu. Aren't you afraid that the dead will take your life?"

As he spoke, he saw Zhou Yan standing next to Dao Chi, and his face suddenly changed: "You have actually summoned Xu Cong privately!?" The next second, Zhou Yan appeared in front of him.

The big man was startled, and a shield made of black gas instantly appeared in front of him.

Dao Chi only had time to say one sentence: "Don't kill anyone."

Zhou Yan's fist had penetrated the shield and hit the big man's chest heavily.

The sturdy man who was leading the group flew out horizontally and hit the wall as if he was stuck. He fell down after a second.

Then Zhou Yan was seen leaving a long trail of afterimages. His movements were incredibly fast, and figures were flying everywhere in the dilapidated factory.

In less than a few seconds, Dao Chi and Zhou Yan were the only ones left standing.

Dao Chi looked at Zhou Yan who was walking back comfortably, and he hummed for a moment, then sighed softly, "I have seen the fighting styles of counselors and followers, and they basically used various ghost magics, but none of them used real punches like you."

Zhou Yan grinned and shook off the blood on his fist: "Just say they didn't fall."

Dao Chi was speechless for a moment.

After a few seconds, he said helplessly: "Then let's go back to the city to rest. The 'yin time' will come tomorrow."

*
The next day.

In a fast food restaurant in Fengdu City.

Dao Chi looked at Zhou Yan, who was wearing a black sportswear and an eye mask and was eating heartily, and said in a deep voice:

"Since you have become my follower, how about helping me slay demons and monsters in Fengdu in these seven days, defeating other exorcists and their followers, and then sharing the gift of the Samsara Diagram together?"

Zhou Yan nodded indifferently while eating: "Okay, tell me what I want to do."

Dao Chi lit a cigarette: "After entering the Yin Time, the entire Fengdu will fall into a strange time and space, called Yin Time. At that time, a large number of demons and monsters will be released by Fengdu to fill the entire city."

"The Wheel of Reincarnation formation unfolds in the sky, revealing the composition of each group of personnel and their 'merit points'."

"Kill these ghosts and purify the ghost energy. Our actions will be recorded by the reincarnation map and our merit points will increase accordingly."

"At the end of the seventh day, the group with the highest merit will enjoy the gift bestowed by the Samsara Diagram."

Zhou Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked softly, "How generous is this gift?"

Dao Chi looked at him strangely, as if he was surprised why he asked this question: "For me, it is equivalent to a one-time wishing machine. Money, fame, health, almost all wishes can be fulfilled."

"For a 'Xu Cong' like you, if you win, you can abandon your identity as a 'Xu' and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Re-enter the cycle of reincarnation? It seems that for Xu Cong, this state of being neither a ghost nor a ghost is not a good thing.

Zhou Yan thought calmly, then nodded, motioning Dao Chi to continue.

Dao Chi did not hesitate and said directly: "After the last two or three battles in Fengdu, an unwritten rule has almost been formed, that is, in the first four days, all exorcists and their demons will do their best to eliminate ghosts and monsters, and will not attack each other. Then, in the last three days, they will consider eliminating their competitors."

"The merits of the eliminated group will be received by the group that eliminated them."

After that, Dao Chi said in a serious tone, "In the face of this huge and only reward given by the Samsara Diagram, the winner takes all, and the loser gets nothing. Therefore, this is almost a bloody and cruel zero-sum competition. Judging from the results of the past Fengdu battles, usually only two or three groups of people can survive."

"And the Yin time will officially arrive at midnight tonight."
