Chapter 102: Phoenix Relics

At the door of 4-30, there were not only Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, but also Aspasia.

Aspasia, who did not identify or use items, could only keep wandering in various rooms.

Wen Xishu, Zheng Zai, and Wang Ying had a total of nine items. Apart from these nine items, there were also items that had not been identified, such as radios, shoes, pipes, rice cookers, and wine glasses.

There were only a dozen items left, and it didn't take Aspasia much time to finish looking at them.

She didn't have a single item, so naturally, she couldn't do anything, but this didn't affect Aspasia's calculation.

Her calculation had two parts: first, lying down and winning. With the help of Wen Xishu, Zheng Zai, and Wang Ying, she successfully mixed through this Mysterious Tower challenge.

Now the one-eyed eagle Wang Ying has entered the state, and with her relationship with Wang Ying, she thinks Wang Ying will still take care of her more.

And Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai also promised her commitment; after returning to the Bunker, she just needs to pay a certain reward.

Second, find a weapon that can absolutely kill all sides. She had long noticed that the door of 4-30 was locked.

Presumably, she had to use props like keys to open the lock. And at this time, Wen Xishu had the key in his hand.

Aspasia had several thoughts flash through her mind at this moment.

She even thought of snatching it, but the dangerous aura emitted by Zheng Zai finally made her not do so.

She thought about whether she could open her mouth to ask for the items in 4-30. "Borrowing" from Wen Xishu and the others in the posture of the weak.

But at this time, Wen Xishu actually spoke first:

"The things in this room are the most valuable treasures in this museum. Aspasia, if I were you, I suggest you don't say anything now, and don't have any thoughts."

Wen Xishu's gaze was very cold.

Completely different from the smiling, polite, and humble appearance before, he was slightly taller than Aspasia, raised his head slightly, and his gaze was slightly downward, as if looking down at Aspasia.

At this moment, all the words organized in Aspasia's mind were cleared.

Looking at that gaze, she inexplicably felt fear.

"You might as well go back to any of the previous rooms and stay well. After the twelfth level ends, we will likely need to leave this hospital. At that time, we will need to face quite a few monsters."

"But I can guarantee you that monsters are not the most terrifying. If you have thoughts you shouldn't have, you might even die without seeing a monster."

Without Wang Ying, Wen Xishu didn't need to pretend to Aspasia. If Wang Ying came back, Aspasia wouldn't dare to tell Wang Ying about Wen Xishu's reaction at this node.

She didn't dare to bet on whether Wang Ying would choose to believe her or Wen Xishu at this node.

So at this moment, she truly felt a feeling of having a knife held to her neck.

Aspasia said tremblingly:

"I... I know."

The expression on Wen Xishu's face became gentle:

"Then now you can roll to another room and stay, what do you think?"

Wen Xishu's image changed too fast, which made Aspasia feel even more afraid.

She didn't hesitate and ran to hide in other rooms.

Zheng Zai silently noted Brother Wen's behavior, thinking in his heart... if I get fierce, I look uglier than Brother Wen, plus my iron-mouthed shape, hmm, I should be scarier, right? Maybe I can scare Aspasia to tears, I win!

Wen Xishu glanced at Zheng Zai:

"Old Zheng, what are you giggling about?"

This reaction made Wen Xishu a bit surprised. He was still thinking before whether Old Zheng would be shocked by this side of him.

Old Zheng was not shocked, but was laughing:

"Oh, nothing, I just suddenly thought that we are about to clear the level, I feel happy."

Wen Xishu didn't say anything more and decisively opened the door with the key.

There were no hospital beds in the room of 4-30, and two items were placed on the display stand.

A fiery red feather, emitting a certain luster, and a fiery red gemstone.

Zheng Zai soon discovered the unusualness of the items:

"Brother, I can only see the names of these two things, but there are no notes. Can you see them?"

Wen Xishu shook his head. This time even he couldn't see the effect of these things. Because the item names could be seen, but there were no notes at all. Even looking at garbled characters was impossible.

【Phoenix Heart】.

【Phoenix Feather】.

Whether it was the gemstone or the feather, they emitted a fiery red luster, as if they were in a burning state.

"This, does this thing not need identification?" Zheng Zai said.

Wen Xishu did not answer Zheng Zai's question. The moment he touched the feather, the Phoenix feather actually disappeared.

Zheng Zai's reaction was huge:

"Wait, where did such a big feather go? How come it's gone?"

Wen Xishu smiled: "It seems that this feather is a consumable."

Zheng Zai looked at Wen Xishu:

"What do you mean? Do you know the function of the feather?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"I don't know, but I think it's a good thing, and it will play a good role at a critical moment."

As he spoke, Wen Xishu's hand had already begun to touch the gemstone.

This time, Zheng Zai saw the change clearly. The gemstone began to fuse with Wen Xishu's gloves. In the blink of an eye, something like a fiery red lustrous ring appeared on the index finger of Wen Xishu's glove.

Wen Xishu looked at his finger, and notes soon appeared. Complete notes.

【Item Name: Phoenix Glove·Solution.】

【Item Description: Only when fused with Phoenix Glove·Soldier will it become a complete Phoenix Glove, but even as a Solution·Glove, it has extremely powerful abilities. This is a token of friendship, given only to destined people worthy of gratitude and remembrance.】

【Item Attributes: Function 1—Disintegrate. This glove can make all items created by the Phoenix constellation lose their strange power and become ordinary items. This process is irreversible. Once disintegration is activated, all items created by the Phoenix constellation, except for the "Born Person," will permanently lose their strange effects. This ability has no cooldown time and no consumption.

Function 2—Activate Armor-Breaking Mode, you can forcibly make an enemy's prop temporarily lose its effect for fifteen minutes, even if this item was not created by the Phoenix constellation. Cooldown time, fifteen minutes.】

Function 3—Original Fairness Mode, within five minutes after activating this mode, the opponent's item slot is directly disabled. Cooldown time, twenty-four hours.】

"How is it, Brother Wen, how is this thing?" Zheng Zai really wanted to know the effect of this ultimate prop.

Wen Xishu said:

"Now, all the monsters we encounter when leaving the hospital, as long as they hold weapons, basically pose no threat to us. Of course, if the monster itself is very powerful, that's another matter."

"The ability after the gemstone and glove fuse is not bad, and it is qualified to be a bottom-of-the-box item. It's just that the destructive power is a bit poor, and it is more inclined to defense. But clearing the level is no problem."

"Let's go, let's go try it."

Wen Xishu was still satisfied with the attributes of this glove, which had both PvP and PvE attributes. Facing enemies with powerful props, it can almost completely make the opponent's powerful props misfire.

With this thing, Wen Xishu can calmly say "I bet there are no bullets in your gun" when facing enemies pointing guns at him in the future.

The most interesting ability is the third one, Original Fairness Mode, which can disable the opponent's item slot, directly making the opponent unable to pull the gun. Wen Xishu always feels...

This ability is used by Ding Dong to target Bunker people.

He is not sure whether there are other units besides Bunker people, such as Collapsers, Three Towers people, or the Twelve Constellations, who also have item slots.

But presumably, this ability can take effect on Bunker people.

This can be considered a very powerful hole card. It's just that Wen Xishu still doesn't understand what the effect of the Phoenix feather is.

The Phoenix feather is like completely disappearing, as if it melted into his body.

Wen Xishu didn't struggle with it either, and soon started the tenth level with Zheng Zai.

……

……

Tenth level.

Wen Xishu wore the Phoenix Glove·Solution, held the controller in his hand, and manipulated Zheng Zai, who held a chainsaw in one hand and a wrench in the other.

The scene of this level is in a prison.

The huge wall made it impossible for the creatures in the prison to leave, or they just didn't want to leave.

One-third of the monsters are rare species with special abilities, and the others are high-tier fourth-level normal species that Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai could not possibly come into contact with in the Slaughter Tower at this stage.

High-tier normal species are already equivalent to demons, ghosts, and other existences that transcend nature for ordinary humans.

They possess physical fitness, speed, and strength far exceeding humans. These attributes are not only far exceeding humans but also far exceeding various exaggerated animals known to people.

It can be said that in front of a high-tier normal species, humans without Slaughter Tower attribute panels and without slaughter sequences have absolutely no chance of winning.

Zheng Zai and Wen Xishu are in the playground surrounded by huge high walls, where prisoners usually rest.

And in the depths of the prison, there are several rooms with the word "No" written on them. The most terrifying prisoners live in the rooms. They are all elite level, and there is even a leader level.

This lineup made Zheng Zai break into a cold sweat.

"This is not the last level yet... how come so many high-tier normal species have appeared? The number of rare species is also too amazing, right?"

Zheng Zai was facing a great enemy. The difficulty span between the ninth level and the tenth level was too huge. He was not sure if he could kill the monsters clean before the elite level and leader level noticed them.

Now he can only hope that Brother Wen's glove can have a miraculous effect.

The battle began soon.

A monster whose outline was almost identical to a human female, but had only one face and no facial features on its face, dragged a huge axe, jumped, and instantly approached Zheng Zai.

Zheng Zai shouted:

"My mom! Use Blood Qi quickly, Brother Wen, how come a rare species is charging first!"

This monster, which is very similar to a human female, has an extremely exaggerated and hot figure. The lower body is long legs wrapped in silk stockings, and the upper body is wearing a prison guard uniform of an unknown country. The first reaction made Wen Xishu think of the kind of call girl who was stuffed into prison to be enjoyed by some prison overlords.

It's just that although this monster has a hot figure, the huge axe it carries cannot arouse men's desire.

That huge axe weighs at least a hundred pounds, but the female monster carrying the huge axe is like a flea, jumping ten meters at a time.

Its long hair danced, and it made a scream in its mouth. This sound reminded Wen Xishu of the witch in Left 4 Dead.

The difference is that the witch has no weapons in her hands, just sharp claws like a harpy that can tear enemies apart, while this female monster has a clumsy huge axe in her hand.

If it were just like this, Zheng Zai, who was strengthened by the controller, although difficult to resist the attack of the rare species, could still deal with it for a while.

But such a jump of ten meters, in the blink of an eye, came to Zheng Zai's side, there were more than thirty female monsters.

Zheng Zai looked at these female monsters jumping ten meters, as if he saw dozens of missiles shooting at him.

At this moment, he even had a feeling of wanting to surrender directly.

He asked Wen Xishu to use Blood Qi quickly, that powerful move that can easily kill primary normal species without leaving a corpse.

But Wen Xishu just stood in place, not intending to manipulate the controller at all.

The speed of the female monster was too rapid. Zheng Zai only felt that in an instant, those black long hairs emitting a fishy smell had come to his front.

He thought it was over, and he and Brother Wen were going to explain it here.

But at this moment, something that left Zheng Zai dumbfounded happened.

Wen Xishu did not touch the controller, but instead snapped his fingers.

Snap.

The sound of the snap was crisp and pleasant, and at the knuckle of Wen Xishu's right index finger, a dazzling red light burned like a crimson star.

In this instant, Zheng Zai discovered that all the incomparably powerful female-bodied monsters around... all froze simultaneously.

The luster of rotting flesh on the monsters' bodies gradually faded; not just the luster, but even the color began to fade, taking on the appearance of soil.

Subsequently, not only these female-bodied monsters that had been charging, but even the other rare species, and even the elite species and leader-level existences in the forbidden lands in the distance...

All of them, as if their lives had been snatched away by some mysterious power, turned into the color of soil.

The battle ended.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Xishu's kill count had directly become a five-digit number, far exceeding the stipulated one hundred.

Zheng Zai touched his forehead and said in a somewhat dazed manner:

"Holy... shit."

He was actually quite a polite person, but looking at this scene now, he could only say this much.

"Even in the Slaughter Tower, when the legendary Albert kills monsters, it isn't this exaggerated. This thing is truly too terrifying." Zheng Zai had lingering fears.

When it came down to it, he did not know the ability of the Phoenix Glove.

Wen Xishu's snap gave off the vibe of Thanos, but Wen Xishu knew very well that this effect could only be achieved within the scenario designed by Ding Dong.

There was no other reason... these monsters and the scenario alike, no matter how lifelike they were, were essentially all props, molded out of soil by Ding Dong.

And Ding Dong was created by the Phoenix Constellation. The Phoenix Constellation died, and Ding Dong was born; it could be said that Ding Dong was actually a doll that inherited the memories of the Phoenix Constellation.

Therefore, what Ding Dong created was, of course, considered to be created by the Phoenix Constellation.

With this glove, these twelve levels no longer held any difficulty for Wen Xishu.

Both the eleventh and twelfth levels contained quite a few bosses and quite a few rare species.

With Zheng Zai's current abilities, he was fine facing normal species, but he was completely no match for rare species.

But all of this was no longer a problem; Wen Xishu could first use a snap to resolve all the powerful existences, leaving only the weak ones behind.

In this way, Zheng Zai could easily pass the following two levels.

This was how Wen Xishu planned it, and this was how he did it.

After clearing the tenth level at an unimaginable speed, Wang Ying was still fighting a bloody battle in the ninth level.

Wen Xishu did not pay attention to Wang Ying; he decided to follow the process first and clear all twelve levels before doing anything else.

At this time, Wang Ying was still thinking that Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai should still be fighting a bloody battle in the tenth level, right?
