Chapter 136

~9 min read 1,625 words

You know, speaking of Heaven and Hell in the infinite world, one has to mention the Lord of Holy Light.

That one is the second most powerful big shot in the Primordial Heavenly Court in name, a proper double-flower red stick. Even if his brain is broken, he is still one of the most terrifying existences in the infinite multiverse.

The angel army under his seat is equally powerful, which can be called true legends are not as good as dogs, and demigods are all over the ground.

Not to mention Gabriel, one of the four great seraphs, who is at least a powerhouse of the initial Saint or even high Saint. Even if he only projects a wisp of thought avatar, it is enough to sweep all the current reincarnation teams.

And the villain who can be compared with such a powerhouse is at least at the level of a Hell Demon King.

But... is this really possible?

It's not that Wu Xian is belittling himself, but with his and the Zhongzhou Team's current strength, this is simply not a dungeon of their level.

Unless the Main God is broken, or has been controlled by the Primordial Heavenly Court, deliberately letting the reincarnators go to die, otherwise such a bad situation should not appear.

"Forget it, thinking any further is no different from Di Hua. The top priority is to find a place with people to collect information, preferably finding Fan Haixin's whereabouts."

Wu Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression solemn.

"Make the worst plan. If this world really involves Heaven and Hell, then as an existence suspected to be Gabriel's human body, Fan Haixin's strength should also receive a huge boost.

By then, as long as we protect him tightly in front of us, I think it's not that there is no chance to complete the mission."

"Correct judgment."

Chu Xuan raised his hand and pressed on his glasses, faintly saying:

"Just now, the drone swarm has found a village and town with human smoke. Perhaps we can find out some news there."

"Very good!"

Wu Xian nodded, then looked at Zhan Lan beside him and said: "No time to lose, let's speed up a bit, strive to arrive at the town before dark, so as not to meet any strange things again."

A dozen minutes later, on a mountain road that was not wide.

Similar to the situation in the Black Forest, the mountain road was still shrouded in fog, and the dirt road under their feet was covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, faintly visible with wheel tracks and hoof prints of coming and going.

"Is that it?"

According to Chu Xuan's guidance, the Zhongzhou Team walked along the dirt road for three or five kilometers and finally saw a village and town of considerable scale. From the appearance, its age was very long, perfectly matching the medieval European town in their impression.

Seeing this scene, not only the newcomers but even most of the veterans of the Zhongzhou Team were a bit trance-like.

After all, the horror movies they had experienced before all happened in modern and future world backgrounds. This was the first time they had seen such a retro picture, quite a sense of traveling to ancient times.

"Zheng Zha, Xiaoyi, you said before that you felt the air here was very comfortable?"

After walking into the town, Wu Xian suddenly asked Zheng Zha beside him.

"Yeah, I didn't feel much at first, but now the longer I stay, the more obvious this feeling becomes. I even feel that the vampire energy in my body seems to have improved a little bit."

Zheng Zha scratched his head, trying his best to describe his feelings.

And Li Xiaoyi was much the same, saying that compared to the previous horror movie worlds he had experienced, the air here was a treat to breathe, as if it were the legendary heaven and earth spiritual energy, which made people feel refreshed.

"I know."

Wu Xian nodded secretly, golden light rising in his eyes.

It was not that he had opened the Golden Pupil, but that he used the power of the "Eye of Joy" root, running his magic power into his eyes, and immediately saw wisps of black matter floating in the air, which were absorbed into the body by everyone along with the flow of breathing.

Among them, Zheng Zha and Li Xiaoyi's situation was the most obvious. These black substances seemed to have found an organization, drilling into their bodies one after another, which was very active.

Wu Xian guessed that this was because of the bloodline strengthening of the two.

After all, one was a vampire and one was a demon, even if they were the copycat plus version produced by the Main God, they still possessed some affinity for darkness.

And these black substances were the "spiritual energy" that nourished dark creatures. As long as dark creatures absorbed these substances for a long time, their power would be subtly improved, thereby causing the dark creatures in this world to become more and more powerful.

Obviously, this was not friendly to ordinary people. If not stopped, sooner or later, there would be monsters and ghosts rampant in this world, squeezing humans out of the top of the food chain.

Of course, this was something for the Church and the Holy Order to worry about, and it had little to do with the Zhongzhou Team, unless when they completed the main mission, they could also solve this problem along the way.

However, these were all later words, and I won't mention them for now.

Soon, the eighteen people walked into the town. Before this, everyone had changed into costumes that fit this era (obtained from the Main God), so it didn't cause too much of a stir, but the Asian faces made the townspeople feel slightly curious, but they just looked twice and stopped paying attention.

By the way, because Zhu Peng refused to change the Daoist robe on his body, he was knocked unconscious by a hand knife from a Zhongzhou Team captain who refused to reveal his name, and then his body was controlled by a puppet talisman, following the team step by step.

The strange scene made the few newcomers both surprised and afraid, and they never dared to raise any objections again.

At least on the surface, that was the case.

Not long after, the dozen people found a hotel with good business in the town.

In the lively hall, candles were bright, voices were loud, and travelers and residents of the town gathered together, drinking and having fun, listening to adventurers bragging while joining in the fun and drinking.

The boss standing behind the bar looked at this scene happily, seemingly calculating how much harvest he could have tonight.

At this time, Wu Xian and his party walked in. Because there were many people, it immediately attracted the boss's attention. Seeing the Asian faces that were clearly from out of town, his eyes became even brighter.

The fat sheep is here!

"Respected guests, what do you need? The small shop will definitely try its best to satisfy you."

Wu Xian smiled slightly, took out a crystal-clear blue gemstone from the storage prop, and slapped it on the bar with a clatter:

"We are going to stay here tonight, we want the best rooms, and prepare a few tables of sumptuous wine and food... Finally, I also want to ask you for some news. If the news is true and can satisfy me, I have extra rewards."

The shining gemstone made the middle-aged boss dizzy, and upon hearing Wu Xian's last sentence, his whole person was immediately not sleepy, his tone became more respectful, and he hurriedly asked the clerk to entertain the members of the Zhongzhou Team.

"What do you want to know, guest? It's not that I'm bragging, but in the surrounding towns, there is nothing that I, Bowen, cannot find out."

"Is that so?"

Wu Xian raised his eyebrows: "Then let me ask you, have you heard the name Fan Haixin."

"Fan Haixin!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this name, the boss's expression changed suddenly, and the look he gave Wu Xian and the others also carried a touch of realization.

"So that's it, guests are here for his bounty... It's a pity, Fan Haixin is an elusive murderer who is wanted nationwide. The last time he appeared was two months ago, and I don't know his specific whereabouts now."

"I see, then forget it."

"Wait!"

The boss grabbed Wu Xian's hand that was about to be withdrawn, turned to look around, as if confirming that no one was paying attention here, and then whispered: "I don't have the news, but I know someone who might have it. He is a professional in the information business."

"Oh! Then where is this person?"

Wu Xian asked with interest.

Hearing this, the boss looked at the gemstone on the bar, and then smiled and made a rubbing gesture to Wu Xian.

The meaning was very obvious—you have to add money!

"Heh!"

Wu Xian also followed with a smile, and then looked at Zhan Lan beside him.

The latter understood in seconds, her telepathy ability activated, easily invading the boss's brain, searching for the keywords "Fan Haixin" and "information peddler," and soon obtained the desired information, incidentally deleting the memory of the last minute, which took less than five seconds in total.

At the same time, the boss's eyes were dazed for a moment. After recovering, he flattered Wu Xian and smiled: "Respected guests, what do you need? The small shop will definitely try its best to satisfy you..."
