Chapter 62 Three Terrifying Instance Informations
The latter thought for a moment, then opened his phone and randomly played a song:
"Let you be crazy, let you indulge, thinking you'll be moved someday, I pretend to be indifferent to the rumors~"
What kind of simp song is this? Zhang Yuanqing almost wanted to change the song, but felt it wasn't necessary, he was just perfunctorily dealing with the Cat King speaker.
He lay on the bed, listening to the song full of childhood memories. The continuous night tour had consumed a lot of energy. A song of three or four minutes was just right to recover his strength.
In the lingering sound, the song ended.
Zhang Yuanqing quickly got up, grabbed the Cat King speaker, and entered the night tour.
"Buzz~"
After the familiar sound of electricity, a voice filled with lingering fear cursed from the speaker:
"It's all Shen Gongbao's fault, that idiot, he had to trigger the hidden mission, almost causing us to be wiped out. No, the idiot is me, I had to show off in front of a woman, that's why I revealed the hidden mission."
"Fortunately, we were about to complete the main mission - defeating the Ghost Ship - before the hidden mission was triggered. And the hidden mission is not mandatory. Enduring the sixty seconds to return to reality, I successfully returned to the present."
"This time in the dungeon, everyone was wiped out, only I survived. Hehe, the official and the Spiritual Realm families lost six Saints. My mission quota for this month is considered complete, although it wasn't my intention."
"It's a pity that those top-quality items and mission rewards were all left in the dungeon. Some of them have special significance to the official. When I reach level 6 or get promoted to Overlord in the future, I can return to the dungeon if I still need those items."
"Women only affect my survival rate in the dungeon - Cat King speaker, record this audio for me, I must learn from this in the future."
……
"Buzz~"
The second audio played, and the weak voice of the Demon Lord sounded from the speaker:
"Too scary, too scary, that boss is simply invincible. Are these ancient cultivators? I always feel that there are high-level secrets hidden in the dungeon, and there may even be a series of missions. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited. I barely passed, but I couldn't solve the mysteries in the dungeon. Alas, as the level gets higher and higher, combat gradually becomes the theme. Sure enough, the essence of the world is the supremacy of force. Suddenly I understand the Fire Master very well."
……
"Buzz~"
The third audio played, and the weak voice of the Demon Lord sounded from the speaker:
"093 is simply a welfare dungeon. As long as you survive the initial terror and crisis, you can enjoy the happiness of having beauties on both sides in the harem of the Yuhua Immortal Sect leader. Ancient female cultivators are so moist, so beautiful. The teleportation jade talisman is one per month, just treat it as a once-a-month vacation."
The audio ended here.
Zhang Yuanqing began to think. The audio played by the Cat King speaker should be from the early and mid-stages of the Demon Lord Saint's experience. It's not sure which one I will specifically enter, so it chose the most likely ones.
"The first two dungeons sound like they hide huge crises, but the Demon Lord didn't leave any specific strategies in the Cat King speaker. Even the Demon Lord who was promoted to Star Official almost died in them. It feels very dangerous..."
"The third dungeon is the safest, no, what the Demon Lord calls safe might mean spending all my money and dying to me, but if I have to choose one of the three, I would definitely choose 093, because I have the Unyielding Protector Mirror and the Persistent Potion."
Zhang Yuanqing felt a little heavy in his heart. For ordinary The Way of the Extraordinary, a life-and-death crisis every three months, for him, a hell dungeon once a month.
It's so tiring to live!
"The second dungeon didn't reveal useful information, I can't find it. I can check the first and third dungeons."
He sat indoors, thought for a long time, stuffed the Cat King speaker into his waist bag and sealed it, and called Fu Qingyang.
After the other party answered, Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Boss, I want an account with high enough permissions to check some information, about the level of a five or six level Deacon."
The 'Yuanshi Tianzun' account permissions have been reduced to the level of an ordinary member.
Fu Qingyang didn't ask why, and said: "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, in less than three minutes, a 'ding-dong' sound came from Zhang Yuanqing's chat software.
[Little Brain Tiger: The gang leader asked me to lend you my account.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Thanks, big brother.]
Zhang Yuanqing casually sent a '666' red envelope.
Little Brain Tiger happily received the red envelope and replied:
[The members of the White Tiger Guard have privately talked about what you did in the Jinghai branch. To be honest, it was too impulsive.]
Zhang Yuanqing smiled wryly, thinking that even you want to lecture me.
……
[Little Brain Tiger: However, we The Way of the Extraordinary, have countless life and death situations, and we might return to the Spiritual Realm at any time. If we have to look ahead and consider order in everything, then life would be too boring, so everyone is very supportive of you.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: I won't tell the boss these words (dog head)]
[Little Brain Tiger: Haha, that's good, um, do you also call the gang leader boss now?]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Gang leader sounds too formal and official. Calling him boss can shorten the relationship and stand out among the many White Tiger Guards. If it wasn't for Guan Ya's sake, I wouldn't mind calling him 'bro', but the boss is my brother-in-law after all. Um, don't tell the boss these words either.]
After getting Little Brain Tiger's account password, Zhang Yuanqing opened the official database, switched accounts, and logged in successfully.
Then he searched and sure enough, he found three pieces of information, established in 2008, 2011, and 2017 respectively.
[Spiritual Realm No. 093, Yuhua Secret Realm, type multiplayer, difficulty level.]
[Note: Currently, official members have only matched it twice, both died in the dungeon, no dungeon strategy available.]
"In more than ten years, it has only appeared three times. Although this is only the data collected by the official, there will definitely be non-official practitioners who have entered this dungeon, but Spiritual Realm No. 093 does not appear frequently."
Zhang Yuanqing then searched for the three words 'Shen Gongbao'.
The search result was: Shen Gongbao, Jianghuai branch, level 5 Beastmaster, deceased!
[Note: Shen Gongbao died in the S-level multiplayer dungeon - the Sea of Yai Mountain. As many as six official and Spiritual Realm family practitioners died at the same time. The town's items of the Jianghuai branch and the important items of the Xie family were left in the dungeon.]
[The Sea of Yai Mountain, number 012, type multiplayer, difficulty level S, no strategy available.]
Pulling down the screen and continuing to look down, Zhang Yuanqing also found the bounty from the beginning of last year.
One was the bounty from the Jianghuai branch, and the other was from the Xie family.
As long as the items left in the "Sea of Yai Mountain" are retrieved, the Jianghuai branch offers a B-level merit and a reward of eight million cash.
The Xie family offered ten vials of Life Essence and a reward of fifty million cash.
"This reward has exceeded the value of ordinary Saint-quality items, unless it's a rule-based item, or an item with special effects. I hope the dungeon I match with is the 'Yuhua Secret Realm'. What is losing my virginity in the face of death? Sister Guan Ya won't blame me."
Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.
……
Jiangnan Province, Yongcheng.
The salty sea breeze swept across the wharf, and the waves repeatedly crashed on the wharf, stirring up white foam.
Since ancient times, it has been said that Jiangnan Province is too small, only the waves in Yongcheng are truly big.
Fishing boats and freighters were docked in the port, swaying slightly in the surging waves.
Away from the shore, a small patrol boat floated quietly on the sea, the white hull swaying with the waves.
Affected by the aftermath of the island nation's typhoon, the wind and waves at sea have been a bit high these days.
'Azure Fury', wearing a nano combat suit, with the help of his teammates, methodically equipped underwater combat weapons, grenades, spotlights, etc.
As a level 2 Water Ghost, he was confident that no enemy could defeat him underwater.
But he also had to admit that before level 3, Water Ghosts did not have the ability to compress water into powerful "water guns" and "water knives".
"This sea area is where 'Water Ghosts' haunt." The leader, whose profession was Earth Monster, stepped forward and warned: "The Water Ghost is either transformed from the resentment of a The Way of the Extraordinary after death, or a Night Wanderer secretly refining a Yin corpse that failed and was discarded into the sea. It poses a certain threat to you. Once you find the target, use a grenade immediately."
Starting around the day before yesterday, rumors of Water Ghosts haunting the port area spread among the people who made a living at the wharf and at sea.
The reason was that a small fishing boat went out to sea to fish the day before yesterday. When it returned, a crew member accidentally drowned. According to the crew members on the boat, the crew member did not drown normally, but was dragged into the water by a Water Ghost.
They personally saw a corpse that was pale and covered with barnacles climbing onto the boat.
At first, no one believed it, but from that day on, almost every day someone went out to sea and drowned, and the people on the same boat returned to the wharf, all saying with certainty that they saw a Water Ghost.
The rumors of Water Ghosts haunting became more and more exaggerated, and no one dared to go to sea these two days.
After a preliminary investigation by the Public Security Bureau, the case was transferred to the The Way of the Extraordinary team in the port area. After questioning the spirits by a Night Wanderer, it was confirmed that a 'Water Ghost' was responsible.
So the fourth team in the port area took over this case.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention! "Azure Fury made a victory gesture and said, "Captain, after the mission is over, please treat everyone to seafood."
After speaking, he jumped off the deck, disappearing into the blue waves with a plop.
Underwater was full of chaotic, meaningless noise. Azure Fury dived to the bottom of the water, turning the light column of the flashlight while sensing the changes in the water flow with the talent of the Water Ghost.
His skin was like a radar, able to capture the movement trajectory and even the size of creatures within a certain range through changes in the water flow.
During the aimless search and waiting, suddenly, Azure Fury noticed an abnormality in the water wave... coming from behind him.
He quickly manipulated the water flow, turned around to defend, and at the same time aimed the high-power spotlight at the fast-approaching object.
The dazzling beam illuminated the opponent's appearance. It was a corpse that was pale, with empty, cloudy eyes, and dense barnacles all over its face, arms, and neck.
It quickly slid its limbs, approaching Azure Fury.
Azure Fury calmly observed for a few seconds and confirmed that this Water Ghost did not have the talent to control water.
"That makes things easier..."
He took off the gun from his waist and fired at the Water Ghost.
The bullet rotated at high speed, carrying a dense bubble, and successfully hit the Water Ghost's head, causing its movement to become stagnant.
Then, Azure Fury took off three grenades, pulled the pins, and manipulated the water flow to send them in front of the 'Water Ghost'.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three clusters of fire lit up at the bottom of the water, and the undercurrent suddenly surged, raging in all directions, stirring up turbid mud, turning the nearby sea water into a muddy soup.
The surrounding corals, shellfish, and fish died in the shock wave, either floating to the surface or being washed away by the undercurrent.
Azure Fury stirred up an undercurrent in front of him to counteract the shock wave generated by the explosion.
A dozen minutes later, the stirred-up mud dissipated, and Azure Fury saw the headless, tattered Water Ghost floating quietly at the bottom of the water.
"Solved, no difficulty at all..."
As a precaution, he manipulated the water flow, pushing his body closer to observe at close range, confirming that it was just a piece of rotten flesh.
Just as Azure Fury was manipulating the water flow, preparing to drag the corpse up to turn in the mission, suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, as if he had encountered a biting cold current.
But this was a subtropical sea area, and it was the hottest summer of the year, how could there be a cold current
The next second, Azure Fury's body suddenly stiffened. With his relatively rich experience, he immediately realized that he had been possessed.
A wraith?
He was startled, and then a tyrannical consciousness broke into his sea of consciousness, and all thoughts disappeared.
A dozen seconds later, Azure Fury, whose eyes were rolled back, moved his eyeballs, his pupils regained their agility, and the faint light of the spotlight in the dark seabed reflected the contours of his face, and the corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile.
"The Way of the Extraordinary... The Way of the Extraordinary... Order and Evil... Interesting, compared to the Great Song Dynasty, where spiritual energy is gradually drying up, I like the new era, it will become the soil for me to advance to demigod..."
"The sequelae of Soul Devouring are too great, I can't hunt official practitioners again in the near future. I have obtained the information I wanted. Next is to hunt Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect, or Illusionists. According to this guy's memory, with the official style, they will definitely make deployments against me. I will not touch the Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect first, and focus on finding wild Night Wanderers and Illusionists..."
Azure Fury moved his limbs and swam towards the bottom of the sea.
He lost his ability to control water.
……
Five days later, in the prison cell, Zhang Yuanqing sat cross-legged on the bed, with the Vajra Pestle in front of him. Wisps of faint golden light overflowed from the bronze pestle and floated into Zhang Yuanqing's nostrils.
Every time a wisp of golden light was absorbed, his body would glow slightly, and blood and internal organs would be faintly visible under his skin.
Until scarlet blood spurted out of his nostrils, Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly stopped absorbing the power of the sun and lay exhausted on the bed, enduring the pain of 'burning fire'.
"Phew..."
When the pain initially subsided, Zhang Yuanqing was covered in sweat, the sweat was viscous, and emitted a foul smell.
"Directly absorbing the power of the sun to wash the body, the improvement is obvious. In five days, my physical fitness has been strengthened by at least one-third. The most important thing is that in terms of physical attributes, it has improved my resistance to mental control, curses, and other skills. Following this direction, the Day Wanderer should be going the melee route?"
Zhang Yuanqing stood under the showerhead and washed his body.
Probably because of using the Vajra Pestle many times, his body has a very high adaptability to the power of the sun. Directly using the old stick's Vajra Pestle to wash the body and practice the Pure Yang Washing Body Record, the improvement is very fast.
Compared with the ancient practitioners who inhaled the essence of the sun, it is the difference between an ox cart and a rocket.
In addition, in these five days, he desperately squeezed the divine power in the Vajra Pestle and refined eighty Demon Breaking Charms in total. He was so exhausted that he just went to sleep, woke up to eat, and continued to practice and draw charms after eating.
Zhang Yuanqing must make enough Demon Breaking Charms before entering the next dungeon to fill the gap in the Vajra Pestle.
After taking a shower, it was 9:30 in the evening. He changed into clean clothes, tied the waist bag containing the Cat King speaker and the blue pills around his waist, and went to sleep with his clothes on.
The time to enter the dungeon is within two days, either today or tomorrow.
He had to bring his tools first to avoid being in a hurry when the time came.
Zhang Yuanqing opened his phone, clicked on Xiaoyuan's avatar, and sent a message:
"I will enter the dungeon in the next two days, I need Aunt Xiaoyuan's blessing."
A few seconds later, Xiaoyuan sent a 'blessing' emoticon.
Zhang Yuanqing 'haha' laughed twice. After the Wei Yuanzhou incident, Xiaoyuan's attitude towards him has greatly improved. She is no longer cold and arrogant, and she will patiently deal with some of his childish requests.
"Investment still pays off." Zhang Yuanqing returned a 'smile' emoticon and entered dreamland.
In a daze, not knowing how long it had passed, the familiar Spirit Realm prompt sounded in his ears:
[Ding, the Spirit Realm map is opening, enter the Spirit Realm in 60 seconds. The Spirit Realm you are entering this time is 'The Sea of Yai Mountain', number: 012]
[Difficulty Level: S]
[Type: Multiplayer (Death Type)]
[Main Mission: Survive for 36 hours.]
[Note: Non-Spirit Realm items cannot be brought in.]
