Please be my partner.

Several thoughts flashed through my mind...

'The head of the bride in the wedding dress is in the well!'

'That's its true form!'

Shubo smiled bitterly. Perhaps the absurd idea of jumping into the well at the beginning was the only chance to survive.

But it was too late now. Shubo felt his life slipping away bit by bit and knew that he was about to die.

He did not continue to struggle, but murmured: "Indeed, damn... the world!"

Shubo slowly closed his eyes, ready to embrace his fate.

But, at this moment...

Light!

A ray of extremely pure light suddenly appeared, and the whole world seemed to be frozen. Shubo felt that the black hair stopped moving. He looked in the direction of the light source, where there was a vague shadow.

Although he felt warm all over under the illumination of the pure light, and his soul, which was about to step into the cold darkness, seemed to be redeemed, Shubo did not feel the slightest joy, because he understood deeply that in today's world, anyone who could use such power must be some kind of strange monster.

The fuzzy shadow suddenly asked, "Do you want to live?"

Hearing this question, Shubo immediately recalled the rumors he had heard before. It was said that some powerful and intelligent monsters would protect humans. This was not because the monsters were kind, but because they were consciously keeping humans in captivity. In essence, it was similar to humans raising cattle, sheep and pigs before the disaster, all for the purpose of obtaining better "food".

In those captive areas, there are many cases of humans submitting to strange monsters and helping them manage and exploit other humans.

But, to be honest, in today's disaster, human life is as cheap as an ant. If there really is a stable environment where people can live in peace, even if the final outcome is destined to be harvested like animals, there will still be countless people flocking to it.

At this moment, Shubo thought a lot.

Nasus looked at the human in front of him with some confusion. It was obvious to him that the other party had a strong will to survive. He didn't understand why the other party looked so conflicted.

Just as Nasus was growing impatient, Shubo finally ended his inner struggle and said in a hoarse voice, "If I want to live, what should I do? Sell my soul?"

Nasus said: “Become my herald and accept the power I grant.”

"That's... that's all?" Shu Bo asked in disbelief.

Nasus did not answer. He already regretted choosing this guy as his experimental subject. In comparison, the human who had just died should be more decisive.

Of course, these were just thoughts of Nasus. Even if he had no so-called moral concepts, the selfish appearance of the human being before did not quite conform to Nasus's aesthetic taste.

As for Nasus's moral concepts and aesthetics, they are naturally similar to those of Melen.

Seeing that the blurry shadow did not answer, Shubo realized that he had asked a stupid question, but although he wanted to survive, he also had his own persistence.

He looked at the blurry shadow with a burning gaze and said, "As long as you agree to one condition, I will become your messenger!"

Nasus said, “Speak.”

Shubo said, "You can't order me to do anything that would harm humans!"

Nasus thought about it. Since his primary purpose in accepting this human was to use him as experimental material, and his secondary purpose was to help capture monsters, he readily agreed, "Okay, I promise."

Shu Bo hadn't expected Blurred Shadow to be so easy to talk to. Although he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was being deceived and would be at their mercy after becoming their so-called messenger, he was unwilling to die like this. So he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to be your messenger."

The pure light suddenly became brighter, and Shu Bo vaguely heard a faint scream.

A head covered with a red veil floated out of the well. Its black hair was like a waterfall. Occasionally, the red veil was lifted to slightly reveal a pointed chin and rosy lips. Just seeing this little bit of the face could make people imagine a beautiful face.

Without any struggle, the head covered with red veil and the body in wedding dress merged silently into the light.

Shu Bo's eyes flashed with horror. He didn't expect that the bride in the wedding dress would be defeated without any resistance, and what happened next shocked him even more.

He felt a powerful force violently intruding into his mind, forcibly connecting the other mind with his own.

Chapter 371 Spike: Fight! Awesome!!

Shubo staggered out of the courtyard, his expression still somewhat dreamy. He turned his head slightly stiffly to look to the side and behind him. About half a step behind him, the bride in her wedding dress was standing there prettyly.

He took a few steps forward, and the bride in her wedding dress followed closely behind him, like a well-behaved young wife.

Shubo could clearly feel that his spirit had been bound to the bride's for some reason. He could clearly perceive the latter's thoughts and could also exert a certain influence and control on her. This was an indescribable novel experience.

Shubo kept directing the bride in the wedding dress to perform various actions according to his own ideas, and the latter was very obedient and cooperative.

Just when Shubo was having a blast and even had some strange thoughts in his mind, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind...

"What are you dawdling about? Why don't you get back to work?!"

Shubo's expression froze, and he immediately bowed respectfully in the direction of the courtyard, then quickly left with the bride in her wedding dress.

Shu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the luxurious mansion. The vague shadow asked him to capture some monsters. Although he didn't know what they were going to be used for, he could only obey orders.

Shubo looked at the bride in her wedding dress, and the previous thought surfaced again. He hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched the bride's...red veil.

That’s right, Shubo wanted to lift the red veil to see what the bride looked like in her wedding dress.

However, when Shubo's hand was about to touch the red veil, the bride, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, suddenly showed resistance, and her spiritual connection with Shubo became unstable.

Seeing that the bride's resistance was rapidly intensifying, her black hair was dancing behind her, wisps of black aura were floating around, and a crazy idea was gradually rising. Shubo didn't dare to commit suicide again and quickly withdrew his hand.

In this way, the bride's mood slowly recovered.

Looking at the bride in her wedding dress who had regained her well-behaved appearance, Shubo secretly warned himself in his heart that no matter how safe the thing in front of him looked, it was still a strange monster.

Shubo turned his head and looked in a certain direction. That was the cave where he had lived since he was a child. Now he had become a messenger of an unknown existence and was endowed with the power of strange monsters. Naturally, it was impossible for him to go back.

This is the best choice for both him and the cave.

Shubo withdrew his gaze and walked away. He was about to carry out the task assigned by his master.

In the small courtyard, a ray of light bloomed from the tip of Nasus' claws, and in the light, there was a phantom of a bride in a wedding dress.

Nasus looked at the shadow with a thoughtful look.

…………

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After separating from the Holy Spirit Dog, Mellen walked aimlessly in the woods for a long time. His mood at this time was quite complicated. Although he walked in a carefree manner, he was actually very concerned.

At this moment, Mellen was like an old father watching his child embark on a solo journey. Even though he knew that with the child's ability, there would probably be no accidents, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Melen couldn't understand how the parents in the PM world could watch their children embark on the journey to become Pokémon masters at the age of ten.

The violent murderous aura swept over, crushing the twisted soul rushing towards him. Mellen exhaled, suppressed his worries in his heart, and began to consider his next move.

Melen came to this world for two main purposes: one was to find the way to the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the other was to find the Blood Demon Evil God.

The first point is not simple. If this world had not collapsed, it would be easy to deal with. I believe that some clues can be found among those major forces. But now that the world has been destroyed into this state, many records and materials must have been lost, and it is not easy to find them.

Fortunately, Melen still has a way out. If it really doesn't work, he will continue to dig for space treasures, leave this world and follow the route given by the Five Gods of Fortune.

The second point is relatively easier. As long as Melen removes the seal of the Blood Demon Sword, he should be able to find the target by following the source. However, by doing so, the Blood Demon Evil God will also be able to sense his presence, and may even learn more information about him because of the Blood Demon Sword. This would be a loss.

Therefore, Mellen did not plan to uncover the seal of the Blood Demon Sword for the time being. Now that the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark, he had the upper hand. Moreover, the Blood Demon Evil God was powerful and had obvious characteristics, so it should not be difficult to find him. There was no need to give up the advantage and form a two-way induction. Otherwise, with the Blood Demon Evil God's operations in this world, things might become more troublesome.

In addition to these two main tasks, you can do side tasks such as collecting resources and treasures unique to the current world, collecting martial arts heritage, etc. according to the situation.

After clarifying the goal, Mellen also figured out the next direction of action. He no longer walked slowly and aimlessly, but quickened his pace.

After several hours, Melen finally found traces of a road. He randomly chose one side and walked along the road. He encountered several "small monsters" on the way, but gained little.

Soon a huge city appeared before his eyes. Melen muttered "good luck" and walked towards the city gate.

During this journey, Melen also studied the monsters briefly, and they can be roughly divided into three categories...

One is physical monsters, similar to some flesh and blood zombies, or monsters transformed from rocks and plants. They have physical bodies, act according to instinct, and can be eliminated by physical means.

The second type is strange monsters. This type of monster is similar to souls and has some Shinto characteristics. It is between reality and illusion. Simple physical attacks have a certain effect, but it is difficult to cause a decisive impact. They generally have a certain low-level intelligence, at least much stronger than physical monsters, and stronger in strength, and often possess some extraordinary powers.

The third type is rule monsters. Some of these monsters seem to be caused by changes in the natural environment itself. For example, magnetic fields interfere with perception and can cause people to lose their way after entering them. If people stay there for a long time, their spirits will be gradually eroded, leading to hallucinations. Even if these hallucinations last for a long time, they will turn from virtual to real, which is equivalent to the first two types of monsters being born out of thin air.

There might be other kinds of monsters, but these were the only three Mellen had encountered so far.

When he arrived at the city gate, Melen was about to enter when he suddenly stopped and looked at the city gate in front of him carefully again.

The city has a classical style, with a circle of walls around it. The walls are ten meters high and look very majestic when viewed from below. The city gate is also very wide, enough for four or five carriages to run side by side.

Normally, the corridor of the city gate looked no different except that it was a little dark. However, when Melen calmed down and circulated the power of his true spirit, he immediately noticed something unusual.

In the dark and gloomy corridor, the internal space is much larger than what appears from the outside. There are white spider silks crisscrossing inside to form dense spider webs. Spiders as small as palms and as big as millstones are crawling around on the spider webs. At a glance, there are hundreds of them.

It is obvious that this corridor has long become the nest of a group of monsters, and even the corridor itself may be a regular monster.

Although he was somewhat interested in the monster in front of him, after thinking about it, Melen gave up the idea of rushing in directly. After walking around for a distance, he jumped onto the city wall and then floated into the city lightly.

By overlooking from the city wall, Melen basically determined the general situation of the city. The original purpose of this city should be military. Not only are the city walls thick, there are also many buildings similar to military camps and parade grounds in the city. The overall layout is also very regular.

With a rough sense, Melen detected the aura of many monsters, especially in the center of the city, where a strong murderous intent almost enveloped half of the city.

After Mellen landed, he gently pointed forward, and a space portal opened, and Spike walked out with a calm breath.

Mellen said, "Since you want to test your skills, then go ahead. Try not to destroy those ornate buildings. There may be something I need inside."

Spike nodded and locked onto the powerful murderous intent in the center of the city. The next moment, an even greater murderous intent rose into the sky, directly suppressing all the monsters and demons in the entire city.

The murderous intent in the center of the city paused for a moment, and then released a violent rage like a beast that was provoked in its own territory.

"Roar!~"

A low roar was heard, and a huge figure five meters tall suddenly leaped up.

The figure was wearing a general's armor and holding a giant crescent-shaped sword. He was emitting a tremendous and frantic murderous aura all the time, and his aura was extremely crazy.

Although Spike also exuded boundless murderous intent, the murderous intent he released was dark golden in color and extremely pure. Spike was in the vortex of murderous intent, but his eyes were calm and clear, and only occasionally did they cause a slight ripple.

Spike's heart was boiling with fighting spirit. Ever since he integrated the killing intent into his fighting spirit, in order to prevent the killing intent from running rampant and devouring him, he rarely took action. Most of the time, he relied on sleeping to resist the killing intent's erosion of his mental will.

This monotonous and simple activity trajectory is a torture for a war-loving dog.

Fortunately, the inheritance of the Black Dragon Peak of the Shenglong Sect opened the door to a new world for Spike. Through [Observing Delusion], he improved his spiritual realm and made himself as immune as possible to the influence of murderous intent. He practiced [Black Dragon Soaring Dance] and [Slaying Sky Sword], and gradually controlled the disordered and chaotic murderous intent and purified it.

After gaining a lot of knowledge in martial arts, Spike also made certain improvements to the Black Dragon Peak inheritance based on his own specific situation. These improvements would not necessarily make the Black Dragon Peak martial arts inheritance stronger, but they were definitely the most suitable for Spike.

After a period of painstaking practice, Spike has made great progress in controlling his killing intent. Although he is still unable to separate the killing intent from the fighting intent and restore the fighting intent to purity, it is basically no longer affected and he can act normally.

Looking at the rapidly approaching giant general, Spike's mouth gradually curled up, his fangs were exposed, and his body swelled.

The only thing it wants to say at this moment is...

fighting! Cool! !

"Boom!~Boom!~Boom!~"

Mellen walked with a brisk pace, listening to the increasingly fierce fighting sounds coming from behind him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

As a contractor, Melen naturally felt the same way Spike felt during this period of time. Now that his dog had broken free from the 'cage' and was able to set himself free, Melen was naturally happy for it.

The more luxurious buildings in the city are concentrated in the city center. After arriving here, Mellen randomly found a mansion and entered. He glanced at a room and could sense that there was a monster there. However, the monster was trembling at this time because of the two terrifying auras mixed together, and had no time to pay attention to Mellen.

Mellen looked around and confirmed that the room was a guest room. He also ignored the monster and walked into the mansion and soon arrived at the master's study.

The study is still in good condition. Although most of the books are scattered on the floor, it does not affect reading. In addition to paper books, there are also many bamboo slips.

Mellen picked up a book from the ground and read it in his hand. After a moment, he stroked his forehead and looked speechless.

He couldn't understand the words in the book.

Who would have thought that the writing systems of the various worlds in this mountain and sea world community are not universal.

The world that Merlen was reincarnated into at the beginning, under the influence of virtual strength, actually had decades of memory, so there was naturally no obstacle in communication and writing.

Things are different now. When Melen looks at the text of this collapsed world, it is like a modern person looking at oracle bone inscriptions. He can only feel that it seems to be true but does not understand its meaning.

Melen said self-deprecatingly: "I never thought that one day I would become illiterate."

Without dwelling on these things any longer, Melen collected all the books and bamboo slips he could find and classified them into different categories. Then he did a simple search and after making sure that there were no other books in the mansion, he set off for the next house.

For Melen now, learning a language is a very simple thing if someone teaches him. He can read other people's memories directly through his mind, and even if there is enough material, he can decipher the meaning of those words by himself.

But compared to the former, the latter is more troublesome.

So Melen planned to collect all the information he could first, and then learn the language and writing after finding the remaining intelligent life in this world.

Walking through each mansion, some were severely damaged with nothing left, while others still had many books left. Melen accepted them all with a smile.

Occasionally, they would encounter monsters building nests, but Melen would easily send them off.

Soon, Mellen came to a warehouse that looked like an intelligence storage room. There were many cabinets placed here, and each drawer of the cabinet was engraved with a number. Mellen opened a drawer at random and saw bundled files inside.

Although most of the warehouse was damaged, Mellen still found a lot of information inside.

Mellen moved quickly and explored all the buildings in the city center in just a short while. In the end, only the building where the giant general was stationed was left.
