Chapter 123

"One run from the poison, consumed one Sequence Six 【Mercy-less Elixir】, but also earned 3,100 merit points."

"It can be said to be a bloody profit!"

Li Yu thought about the harvest, with a smile on his face.

But soon, he frowned again.

Because he recalled the process of running from the poison slightly, he immediately sensed something wrong and felt an extremely oppressive omen of death.

"The suppression and pollution of the Curse Storm on practitioners is comprehensive. Even if Sequence Six levels like the Mercy-less One can pass smoothly, they still have to pay a not-so-small price. What about the weaker Sequence Seven?"

"Plus, when the poison circle is not moving, strange objects like 【Lactating Bird Demons】 and 【Giant Snail Men】 will actively hunt outsiders, and the difficulty has skyrocketed again."

"In any case, it's impossible to survive for seven days."

"Even for me, it's very difficult."

"This shouldn't be; although the Demon Star Command executes the insect-raising path, it shouldn't leave no way for the Command Holders at all."

"Even if the Demon Star Command is so cruel, the Reincarnation Heavenly Net should be much better, right?"

Li Yu pondered these thoughts in his mind while starting to look at the world in front of him.

Compared to inside the poison circle, there didn't seem to be much difference.

It was still high mountains, abandoned villages and towns... a world that seemed to have been dragged out of ancient times.

Of course, it was much more vivid, and it had not been transformed into a terrifying vortex world for the time being.

Just as he was preparing to repeat the old trick, soar into the air for reconnaissance, and determine the direction of advance.

In his mind, the voice of the Demon Star Command came again.

And this time!

It's very different!

"Congratulations to the Command Holder for successfully entering the core area of 【Wo Nation】. As of now, twenty Command Holders are still alive."

"Anchor point initially established... Ninth invasion in progress..."

"Start displaying the guidance map!"

"Display successful!"

"Special reminder: The second round of Curse Storm will be launched in twelve hours. Its threat level is several times that of the first round, covering a very wide range, and a large number of high-level strange objects that can move freely will appear. All Command Holders will be forced to survive in the poison circle for at least several days..."

"Please, all Command Holders, do your best to save your lives and enter the Wo Nation ruins within seven days to complete the anchor point mission."

Following these voices, a look of astonishment appeared on Li Yu's face.

It turned out that it wasn't that the Demon Star Command didn't want to give guidance!

But that completing the invasion takes time.

When he moved his thoughts, a guidance map that gave him a strong sense of déjà vu appeared in his mind, and it was almost a holographic version.

Just a rough scan, Li Yu saw special terrains marked out, and it even showed which curse monsters existed in these areas, as well as various materials.

That's right, it's materials.

"In Qingshui County, not far ahead, there are a large number of strange objects, already polluted and cursed, but at the same time there is a strange object called 【Golden Honey】. After taking it, one can resist most of the pollution in Wo Nation, but there is a related price and time limit."

"In addition to this type of material, there are also materials including ancient weapons and cultivation strange objects."

"Some can be identified, some cannot, depending on whether they were discovered and recorded by the pioneers of the previous eight rounds."

"This...?"

Li Yu looked at this information, and the sense of déjà vu became even heavier, very much like some kind of hot game in his previous life.

Of course, this is a weird and terrifying version of the other world, and dying here really means dying, with absolutely no possibility of resurrection.

Although the map he wanted came, Li Yu didn't feel it was a great thing.

The crisis he felt had not weakened at all.

Several cruel facts that made him feel very bad were extracted by him in the blink of an eye:

"The Demon Star Command and the Reincarnation Heavenly Net have already launched eight invasions on the 【Wo Nation Mystic Domain】, all of which failed."

"The terror level of the second Curse Storm will skyrocket, everyone will have nowhere to escape and will have to face it. The bug I discovered has also been patched; one must face pollution invasion, hunting, and many high-level strange objects... The mortality rate will skyrocket again."

"In the first poison circle, only six people died. The remaining twenty Command Holders are mostly ruthless and fierce people."

"Materials are limited, and both sides and practitioners of the same camp need to try their best to snatch them to increase their chances of survival."

In an instant, Li Yu moved.

Others can be put aside for the time being, but "snatching materials" directly jumped to the first place.

He has a map, which means other Demon Star Commands and Reincarnators will also have one.

Therefore, competition, snatching, and slaughter will inevitably occur.

Li Yu was almost seamless, directly taking out another 【Mercy-less Elixir】.

According to his experience of playing games in his previous life, at this moment, caution can be put aside; snatch enough materials first.

The Art of Eating operated, and the Art of Deceiving Gods was enabled.

In the void, filthy hemp ropes appeared one after another, rolled Li Yu up, and headed towards an ancient-looking county town ahead.

Although the way of traveling was quite strange, the speed was unquestionable, perhaps not as good as a Sequence Six Sword Cultivator, but it crushed Sequence Seven.

Not long after, Li Yu had already forcibly broken into Qingshui County according to the map.

With eyes without any mercy, he scanned around.

Everything he saw was various Wo Nation characteristic strange objects and pollution:

"Found snail man... found black hole pollution... found vortex pollution... found chair man... found parasitic demon..."

"Command Holder has been infected by snail virus, vortex curse, black hole pollution..."

"Found 【Golden Honey】!"

Li Yu, who was hanging over Qingshui County, enduring pollution and curses, suddenly had his eyes light up.

He saw under the eaves of an ancient temple, where a giant beehive the size of a millstone was hanging.

Bees the size of thumbs with "human faces" were flying in and out.

"Found Human-Faced Strange Bees, this creature only exists in the Wo Nation Mystic Domain."

"Possesses the special ability to collect curse source quality and brew it into honey, and has a strong preference for those infected by black holes."

"The speed is extremely fast, and it contains highly toxic poison."

"If stung once, one will immediately fall into paralysis, grow black holes all over the body, and the internal flesh and blood will gradually turn into honey..."

When Li Yu saw this information, he also smelled a strong fragrance that was hard to resist.

The next moment, he didn't continue to think about how these human-faced bees collected and produced honey; thinking too much would only affect his appetite.

So, he made a move directly.

Across a not-so-short distance, a strong meme virus shrouded the beehive.

Not long after, amidst the roar of a large number of flapping wings, all the human-faced bees poured out of the nest.

Those indifferent and evil faces had already become lifeless.

They lined up and slammed into the hard wall in unison.

Amidst the pop-pop-pop sound, each one hit their brains and died instantly.

Only then did Li Yu raise his hand and roll the beehive over.

Open the nest, take the honey.

He originally thought that such a big beehive would at least produce a big jar of golden honey.

But after squeezing it, there was only a small jar the size of a palm.

Dipped a little with his finger, put it into his mouth, and the Art of Eating operated.

In an instant, a strange, sweet, and warm current flowed through his whole body; even if he didn't transfer the pollution through prayer, the curses in his body also receded.

But at the same time, Li Yu's heart, soul, and body all emitted a kind of longing.

Letting him have a little more, drink a little more.

"Hmm?"

"Strong addictiveness?"

"If one drinks a lot, what will happen?"

Li Yu didn't get an answer to this question.

Obviously, the pioneers of the previous eight rounds only discovered that this golden honey could resist pollution and the price of addictiveness.

But they didn't wait for the final result and had already failed the conquest and died suddenly in Wo Nation.

Li Yu frowned, forcibly suppressing the urge to use 【Truth Bubble】 to analyze it. He now has two more chances to turn into a truth soul body.

He guessed that this conquest might use them all up, so he must cherish the opportunity and cannot waste it at all.

Next!

After Li Yu put away the golden honey, he began a carpet search of the entire Qingshui County.

Remaining time: eighty breaths.

His style can be said to be extremely simple and rude.

Relying on the fact that the true god Hanged King can cover most of the curse pollution, plus the terrifying combat power of Sequence Six, he forcibly broke into any area of Qingshui County.

If strange objects or those polluted county residents didn't block the way, he wouldn't care.

Once there was any obstruction, he started slaughtering directly.

Only to snatch those strange objects that were marked and had information displayed.

As a result, in this county town, scenes of mass hanging and suicide suddenly began to be staged.

In the process, Li Yu had new gains one after another, and prompts kept appearing in his mind.

"Found a 【Blood Tree】, which can produce blood plasma fruit. After taking it, one can resist most pollution curses in Wo Nation, but at the same time, one will be parasitized by the blood tree. If one cannot resist, one will be sucked dry."

"Found ten 【Cursed Iron Nails】. Stabbing the iron nails into the body can drive away and resist most curses, but one will also be polluted, one's temperament will gradually twist, and one will be gradually assimilated by Wo Nation and will not want to leave again."

"Hmm?"

The reason Li Yu let out a surprise.

Was the source of these two strange objects, which were a special tree man and a monster with a head full of iron nails.

The former was in rags, covered in pustules and sores, surrounded by clouds of flies, and a small scarlet tree with seven or eight fruits grew on his neck.

The latter was a monk with his upper body bare, covered in scars, with resentment on his face.

The moment they were hanged by Li Yu, a look of liberation actually appeared on their faces.

"A degenerate!"

"An ascetic!"

Obviously, they were all practitioners who failed to leave this Wo Nation Mystic Domain in the previous eight rounds.

They didn't die suddenly, but used strange objects to resist pollution.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hold on for seven days and finally got completely lost here.

Li Yu frowned, but still reached out and collected the fallen blood plasma fruit and cursed iron nails.

Just as he planned to continue looting.

Suddenly, Li Yu seemed to have sensed something.

He soared into the air!

Scanning the surroundings of Qingshui County, he really saw figures appearing in several different directions, casting spells and rushing towards this area.

Indeed, as Li Yu had expected before, those who could pass the first poison circle were not weaklings.

Each one displayed a powerful demeanor.

For example, a strong figure was rushing over with big strides, extremely fast, blood light surging, everything along the way was shattered, and on the dim and dead earth, a scarlet scar was born and killed.

Or accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, a fierce electric light tore through the void and galloped over.

Normally, Li Yu should be cautious about these Demon Star Command Holders and Reincarnators.

For example, forming an alliance, sniping the opposing camp.

But at this time, Li Yu felt the remaining time of the 【Mercy-less Elixir】 which was less than twenty breaths.

Without even a breath, he attacked everyone on both sides.

"This place is already mine." "If you don't retreat, I will send you to see my Lord."

The practitioners of both sides who were rushing towards Qingshui County had the doubt of which true god this guy's true god was in their minds.

The next moment, the answer was ruthlessly revealed.

Only to see filthy hemp ropes stained with blood floating out from the void around Qingshui County, dense and numerous, filling the sky, incredibly spectacular and making people feel infinite fear in their hearts.

While the hanging ropes blocked everyone's path forward, the terrifying meme virus also began to surge out.

Strong thoughts of suicide surged uncontrollably in the minds of both sides.

Fortunately, they were at least Sequence Seven; once they sensed it, they resisted the pollution while retreating one after another.

"Damn it!"

"It's a practitioner of the Hanged King path, at least a Mercy-less One."

"He wants to occupy the entire Qingshui County?"

=9+Book_Bar

Outside the county, in several directions, five figures appeared respectively.

Three were Reincarnators, including a Thunder God path Sequence Seven Lightning-Method Daoist, an Red God path Sequence Seven Battle Soldier, and a Great Sage path Sequence Seven Dartman.

The other two were Demon Star Command Holders, including a Blood Rider and a Life-Taking Walker.

The latter two Command Holders, after being blocked by the dense hanging strange ropes, tried to get a share and shouted:

"Senior!"

"There are three Reincarnators over there, kill them, and you can complete the side mission 【Kill the Enemy】..."

"Within three breaths, if you don't roll far away, I will grant you liberation."

Incredibly domineering words were spat out from Li Yu's mouth.

The hanging meme was released even more surgingly.

At this time, the three Sequence Seven Reincarnators didn't say a word and turned to flee towards the next area on the map.

Seeing this, the two also guessed that this Sequence Six Demon Star Command Holder was afraid that he wouldn't be willing to share even a little bit of benefit.

Compared with those "strange objects" that can resist pollution and curses, the merit points given by the kill mission are indeed not worth mentioning.

Not to mention that three Sequence Seven, if they struggle hard, are really not easy to kill.

One must know that at this juncture!

It is a race against time.

Now both the righteous and evil sides already know the terror of this place; the previous eight rounds of conquest all failed.

As the ninth round, are we sure to succeed?

If we also fail, wouldn't we all die suddenly.

The most direct "threat" right now is that second poison circle, which clearly stated in the guidance that the difficulty has doubled.

Twelve hours, it seems like a lot.

But the map is too large, those strange objects that can save lives are extremely scattered, plus the obstruction of various strange objects and unknown areas.

With such a short time, it seems extremely short.

Thinking of this, the two snorted coldly and joined hands to go to the next area.

Not long after the five left, Li Yu in Qingshui County finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the timing of these five people was excellent, allowing him to calmly open up and intimidate several people to leave.

If they came later, to expel them, he would have to take another Mercy-less Elixir.

"It's also fortunate that among these five, there is not one Sequence Six."

"Otherwise, it would be a big trouble."

When the thought fell, the effect of the Mercy-less Elixir in Li Yu's body was also exhausted.

While falling back to Sequence Seven, he didn't take any more.

Mercy-less and Sword Pellet elixirs are his life-saving items.

Now there are four left of each, save where possible.

He had already explored the inside of this Qingshui County, and there were no strange objects that could threaten him.

The only troublesome thing is pollution and curses.

Fortunately, it couldn't make him die suddenly, it just made him uncomfortable.

Not long after, this area had been searched clean by him, and there was another harvest:

"Found an 【Old Human Skin】, which can resist many curse pollutions after being put on, but at the same time, one will be wrapped tighter and tighter. If one cannot resist, one will be assimilated."

The background of this prompt.

Was Li Yu personally killing an old man, and after peeling off the skin, a bloody female corpse fell out.

Although she had died for an unknown amount of time, there was still a trace of medicinal fragrance on her body.

Most likely, she was a Sequence Eight 【Pharmacist】 of the Lady Lingying path under the Dimu Sect.

It is estimated that she had just started the conquest of this place, and before she figured out the foundation, she was unfortunately selected as a Reincarnator.

Seeing this, Li Yu's brows frowned tighter and tighter.

"In the past two conquest missions, there has never been such a situation."

"These 'seniors' really died in the Mystic Domain, and after death, both the Demon Star Command and the Reincarnator qualifications will be recycled."

"In this way!"

"I am afraid that this 【Calamity Star Command】 will not be the first generation, will I be the last generation?"

"The current situation is a dead end, and the Demon Star Command Holder himself seems to be a dead end."

After these thoughts arose, Li Yu didn't continue to think.

Things later, talk about them later.

Now what he needs to do is to save his life in this terrifying and dangerous Wo Nation Mystic Domain.

After looting Qingshui County!

He didn't stop at all and went straight to the next area marked on the map where a large amount of materials existed.

If this were a normal country, even if the territory were larger.

For Li Yu, who is Sequence Seven, he could appear at the destination very quickly.

Unfortunately, Wo Nation is not.

Except for the places clearly marked on the map, the rest of the unnamed areas mean that they are all undeveloped lands.

For example, a city that is completely shrouded and surrounded by "vortices," like some kind of exotic ruin.

It lay in front of Li Yu, occupying a very large area.

The Demon Star Command prompted him that if he went in to explore, he could complete the 【Land Reclamation】 mission.

So Li Yu chose to detour without hesitation.

After a full three hours, he appeared in another county town marked on the map with a large amount of materials.

Although he had already heard that inside, practitioners from both righteous and evil sides were frantically looting materials while slaughtering each other.

This time, it was still lucky, and he didn't run into a Sequence Six.

So!

He didn't be polite and took another 【Mercy-less Elixir】, forcibly breaking into it.

When the hanging ropes fell from the void one after another, both sides also heard the same cold and merciless voice:

"Leave this place."

"Otherwise, you can get liberation."

In the process, he also slightly respected his identity as an evil cultivator.

Indiscriminately, he tried to hang everyone.

Forcing the righteous and evil sides to tacitly unite to resist the meme virus while being expelled and retreating.

The huge area all belonged to Li Yu.

After looting, another three hours, a new material-rich area.

Li Yu broke in, repeated the old trick, and opened up directly.

Good luck seemed to be favoring Li Yu!

He did this shameless behavior three times in a row.

Each time, there was no other Sequence Six, so each time he succeeded.

Of course, there were many repeated victims.

They were robbed several times in a row, and their resentment was deep.

So while Li Yu plundered a large amount of materials, he also gained a not-so-small negative reputation:

"Shh, everyone move faster. If that shameless 【Mercy-less One】 chases over, not only will we not be able to search for anything, but we might also be hanged."

"Reincarnators over there, let's split this place in half, search quickly, and don't interfere with each other, how about it?"

"If that Mercy-less One comes, neither of us can play dirty, let's tacitly unite and retreat, okay?"

"Okay!"

Such conversations appeared in some areas one after another.

The righteous and evil conflicts and slaughter that were originally about to break out actually shook hands and made peace because of him.

When those twelve hours were about to end.

Both the righteous and evil sides already knew that there was a weird-tempered Mercy-less One on the Demon Star Command Holder side.

Domineering and shameless!

However, Li Yu's good luck ended on the fourth time.

At this moment, in front of a city called 【Black Vortex City】.

Demon Star Command Holders and Reincarnators, both sides happened to form a confrontation.

Each was a six-person team, and both had two Sequence Six existences.

On the Command Holder side, they were an extremely handsome young monk sitting on a pitch-black lotus platform, and an ugly man who was extremely foul-smelling and looked like a "giant view" resurrected.

On the Reincarnator side, they were a middle-aged man wearing weird official clothes with surging incense in his body, and a tall woman dressed in sacrificial goddess clothes, cold and holy.

As soon as both sides formed a confrontation!

The young monk on the lotus platform smiled and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the two of you should be the Sequence Six 【City God】 of the Yin Son of Heaven path, and the Sequence Six 【Spirit Bird Priest】 of the Lady Lingying path respectively."

"Hmm, this one looks like the 【Black Lotus Abbot】 of the Black Maitreya path, and the other fellow Daoist, looking at this appearance, is it the 【Sick Corpse】 of the Sequence Six of the Merciful Father path?"

"In this way, both sides are evenly matched, why don't we search together, and don't interfere with each other, how about it?"

As soon as they came up, both sides exposed each other's background.

The young monk who was topped by a sentence smiled even more brilliantly after hearing this.

He turned his head directly and looked at another direction, the third party in the field, a figure walking slowly.

"Who said it's a tie?"

"We have another fellow Daoist of Sequence Six here."

He went to look.

Others in the teams of both sides also followed to look.

I don't know what they saw, but people in both camps couldn't help but exclaim, followed by low curses.

"Damn it, it's this bastard."

"So unlucky? Ran into him again."

"Don't be afraid of him this time, we also have Sequence Six."

Amidst the clamor, Li Yu, who was suddenly the center of attention, operated the Art of Deceiving Gods with extreme caution, trying his best to play the Sequence Six Mercy-less One.

In his heart, he couldn't help but curse, and didn't wait to sigh that his good luck had come to an end.

Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance in the Reincarnator camp, or to be precise, two.
