《Global Treasure Hunt: Only I Can Hear The Notifications》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°All of you, be careful. This is a C-rank mystic realm. If you¡¯re careless, it¡¯ll cause irreversible consequences!¡± ¡°Everyone, you must listen to my commands! You can¡¯t act on your own!¡± In front of the team, a young man who was about 30 years old and dressed professionally was lecturing with a serious expression. Xu You stood at the back of the crowd with a blank expression. Their gazes were serious and their clothes looked extremely professional. Clearly, they had swept past the team members who had been in danger for a long time. Xu You gradually returned to his senses. He seemed to have¡­ transmigrated. An hour ago, as the top special forces soldier of the Blue Planet¡¯s Divine Kingdom, he was still fighting a terrifying enemy at the border. In the last moment of the battle, Xu You was shot by an enemy who was pretending to be dead. When he opened his eyes again, he was already there. Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, Xu You glanced at the surrounding environment. It was cold and damp. Xu You could determine that this should be an underground cave. Beside them, an underground river was flowing continuously. In an instant, countless memories suddenly surged into Xu You¡¯s mind. After Xu You assimilated these memories, he gradually understood. The spacetime he passed through was the parallel spacetime of the Blue Planet. According to the original owner¡¯s memories, the map of this planet was no different from the Blue Planet in his previous life. In fact, the initial historical development was exactly the same as the Blue Planet. Primitive society, farming society, feudal society¡­ However, about 200 years ago, this world had begun to become a little different. Countless black hole tunnels suddenly began to appear on this planet. Some bold people began to organize an adventure team and walked into the black hole tunnels. Then, people gradually understood. Behind the black hole was not the residence of any aliens, nor were there aliens at all. There were all kinds of priceless jewelry and jade, as well as¡­ treasures that could subvert people¡¯s worldview and increase human strength! This news completely sparked everyone¡¯s enthusiasm. Countless exploration teams were organized and began to explore these black hole tunnels. However! Then, the people discovered that after some of the exploration teams entered the black hole tunnel, there was no news. This was not an exception. Everyone could only know from their remaining communication equipment that they had encountered something extremely terrifying. At the very least, that fear was something that the current humans could not resist! As time passed, people gradually confirmed. Although there were secret treasures behind these black hole mystic realms, there were also extremely terrifying natives, such as¡­ some terrifying primitive beasts. In the end, after decades, people gradually had a system that could determine the danger of the mystic realm. From weak to strong, the ranks were D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. The more dangerous and terrifying the mystic realm, the more precious treasures would be hidden. The rank evaluation system of treasures was no different from a mystic realm. What was worth mentioning was that SSS was not the highest level in this evaluation system! There was no upper limit to the rank of the mystic realm. There were many unknown and mysterious terrifying mystic realms. However, even so, there were still countless people who were obsessed with the mystic realm. The temptation of being able to increase one¡¯s strength and become extraordinary was really too terrifying! Almost no one could resist it. Countless exploration organizations, official and unofficial, were born in this process. All organizations only had one goal. Explore the mystic realm and obtain treasures! When he recalled this, Xu You could not help but narrow his eyes slightly. The person he transmigrated to was also called Xu You. This was an interesting coincidence. However, that was not the point. Most importantly, this person had also joined an organization to explore the mystic realm in order to become stronger, or rather, to survive. This team was the exploration team organized by the Treasure Pavilion. The mystic realm they explored was called the Thunder Meteor Realm. It was a C-rank mystic realm. At this moment, the captain-like person at the front of the crowd spoke again. ¡°I¡¯ve already done my best to explain to you. If you don¡¯t have any other objections, we¡¯ll set off now!¡± As he spoke, the captain¡¯s gaze suddenly landed on Xu You. ¡°Xu You, bring up the rear!¡± As soon as the captain said this, the gazes of everyone on the team became a little amused. In the crowd, an exquisite-looking woman with coquettish eyes looked at Xu You worriedly. When Xu You heard this, he nodded indifferently and did not say anything. This was the first time he had entered a C-rank mystic realm. Logically speaking, such a thing should be left to experienced people. However, as the leader of the exploration team, Han Yi did not do this. As for the reason, there was only one. That exquisite and charming woman, Ling Lan. That woman was originally Han Yi¡¯s girlfriend, but for some reason, she began to have a good impression of Xu You. In the end, Han Yi, who thought that her girlfriend had been snatched away by Xu You, started to target him. As for the members of the exploration team of the Treasure Pavilion, because they wanted to please Han Yi, they began to target Xu You everywhere. ¡­ After the team walked for about fifteen minutes, a cold pool emitting terrifying cold air appeared in front of everyone. ¡°This should be our destination. According to the records, the treasure should be hidden nearby.¡± As Han Yi spoke, he turned to look at Xu You with a slightly cold gaze, ¡°Xu You, go probe the way.¡± When Xu You heard this, he originally wanted to reject it, but the team looked at him with cold expressions. Most of the members of this team were Han Yi¡¯s trusted aides. Even if a few of them were not, they did not dare to refute Han Yi¡¯s words under such circumstances. Looking at everyone¡¯s posture, Xu You understood. He had no choice! After all, this was a mystic realm. It was normal for one or two people to go missing each exploration. Xu You¡¯s gaze landed on Han Yi for a while, but in the end, he did not say anything and walked towards the cold pool. Looking down, the cold pool was dozens of meters deep, and a bone-piercing cold air spread. ¡°Use this rope to go down. There¡¯s land beside the cold pool. Look at the situation there.¡± As they spoke, Han Yi and the others had already fixed the rope. Then, they stared at Xu You coldly. He did not say anything else but directly picked up the rope and jumped down. As a special forces soldier in his previous life, using this rope was only a common thing for him. However¡­ just as Xu You jumped down, he saw it from the corner of his eye. Han Yi cooperated with the others in the exploration team and directly cut the rope! Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. Then, he used his hands and feet to suddenly grab the rock in front of him. Borrowing his rich experience in his previous life, after a miserable grab, he landed on the ground and did not die. ¡°Oh! Why did the rope break?!¡± ¡°Xu You, we¡¯ve only prepared this set of ropes this time. Why don¡¯t you wait here for a while? We¡¯ll come to save you later~¡± Han Yi pretended to be surprised and spoke in an extremely fake tone. However, the current Xu You had no time to pay attention to him. His expression was serious as he stared at the pool in front of him. After he landed, Xu You discovered that in the dark cold pool in front of him, the water suddenly began to flow. Then, huge and ferocious crocodile heads slowly floated up! Roughly estimating, the crocodiles underwater were at least five to six meters long! Pairs of huge and ferocious eyes looked up at Xu You in the dark water! Even if Xu You was a special forces soldier in his previous life, it was impossible for him to fight so many terrifying crocodiles in the mystic realm! Just as the crowd above cried out in surprise and cold sweat slowly appeared on Xu You¡¯s forehead, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind. ¡°Ding! The Secret Treasure Exploration System has been loaded.¡± ¡°Host: Xu You.¡± ¡°A treasure has been detected in the host¡¯s current environment.¡± ¡°The location of the treasure is¡­ on the shore behind the pool, among the rocks.¡± ¡°Treasure: Thunder Dragon Pearl.¡± Xu You was stunned. However, it was already too late for him to verify the authenticity of the system. He knew very well that he had no other choice! Thinking of this, Xu You did not hesitate. He found the edge of a pool with relatively few crocodiles on the shore. Then, under the shocked gazes of the people above, he jumped in with a plop! Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The moment he entered the pool, a bone-chilling chill instantly assaulted Xu You. If it was an ordinary person, their mobility would probably be greatly affected in such a cold and bone-chilling environment. However, in Xu You¡¯s previous life, there was survival training in extreme environments in the special forces. This bone-chilling environment might be an extremely painful torture for ordinary people, but to him, it was actually not a hopeless situation. After entering the water, Xu You quickly adapted to the surrounding environment and began to swim. His speed was extremely fast, and the crocodiles in the pool did not react immediately. Only when the water was stirred did the crocodiles in the pool react. They turned their huge bodies and swam toward Xu You. Xu You¡¯s gaze was calm, and his expression did not fluctuate at all. His body swam nimbly in the water, and he did not panic because he was in danger. The path he chose was an extremely good direction to break through. There were quite a few crocodiles in this direction. Coupled with Xu You¡¯s already flexible movements, he quickly escaped the encirclement of the crocodiles. Finally, following the instructions in the system space, Xu You passed through the pool. Then¡­ when he surfaced again, a cave appeared in front of him. There were countless strange stalactites hanging above the cave, and there were many small streams flowing around. Xu You did not hesitate and swam out of the water. His gaze suddenly swept around the cave and quickly locked onto a direction in the cave. There¡­ was a pile of rocks. As he stood up and quickly walked over, Xu You confirmed further in the system space. ¡°This¡­ should be the pile of rocks hiding the Dragon Pearl.¡± Xu You muttered to himself, but he did not have the time to walk to the pile of rocks. ¡°Roar!¡± A ferocious and terrifying roar sounded from behind Xu You, followed by a terrifying pressure. Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and he almost subconsciously twisted his body to the side. Only then did he narrowly dodge the sneak attack of a five-meter-long crocodile. The crocodile missed and its huge eyes became even angrier. It suddenly crawled towards Xu You again. Xu You¡¯s gaze was calm as he glanced in the direction of the pool from the corner of his eye. Seeing that no crocodile seemed to be able to support it in a short period of time, his eyes narrowed slightly. He flipped his palm slightly and quickly took out a short knife from his waist. Then, he jumped up and dodged another attack from the crocodile. Xu You directly flipped over and sat on its body. Then, a ruthless knife stabbed into its eye. Blood splattered! ¡°Roar!¡± The crocodile was in pain. After roaring angrily, it began to struggle violently. However, Xu You¡¯s legs were like a pair of metal pincers, clamping down so tightly that the crocodile could not break free. He simply pulled out the small knife and stabbed again into the crocodile¡¯s other eye. At this point, both of the crocodile¡¯s eyes were blinded! The crocodile¡¯s vision was blocked and it could only feel that there seemed to be someone on it. However, the huge pain in its body made it very difficult for it to focus on dealing with Xu You. Xu¡¯s right hand moved cleanly as he continuously stabbed the crocodile¡¯s neck. During this process, the crocodile¡¯s life force gradually decreased. In the end, it lost all its strength and fell to the ground without moving. Xu You suddenly raised his head. In the pool in front of him, many crocodiles had already begun to approach. Clearly, after he killed this crocodile, the smell of blood in the field had already attracted the attention of the other crocodiles. Thinking of this, Xu You quickly got up from the crocodile and quickly ran towards the pile of rocks. Walking to the pile of rocks, Xu You turned around. The crocodiles had already begun to bite and eat the crocodile he had stabbed to death. He raised his eyebrows. After confirming that no crocodile was coming in his direction, Xu You started to check the rock pile in front of him. After rummaging for a while, a piercing numbness suddenly came from under a few rocks. Xu You¡¯s heart stirred slightly, and his actions quickened. After he moved a few rocks away, a bead with fine lightning marks and dragon totem patterns on it appeared in front of him! This was the treasure in this mystic realm, the Thunder Dragon Pearl! Xu You was a little excited but at this moment, roars and crawling sounds suddenly sounded from behind him. He frowned and turned around. After those crocodiles finished eating their own kind, they began to turn in his direction. While he was fighting with the crocodile just now, his body was inevitably stained with blood¡­ Xu You¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. It was unrealistic to study the specific use of the Dragon Pearl now or slowly plan it. He had been forced by the crocodiles to come to this location to find the Dragon Pearl. When he thought of this, Xu You no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the Dragon Pearl. A numbing feeling began to flow from Xu You¡¯s throat. Immediately after, a huge and terrifying energy began to suddenly erupt in his body. Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! The water not far away suddenly began to stir violently. Xu You raised his head, and his eyes were already filled with lightning. The muscles on his body began to expand, directly tearing his shirt! Abundant energy surged to every part of his body. Xu You could clearly sense that after swallowing the Dragon Pearl, his strength was completely different from before! In his eyes, the crocodiles who could still threaten his life and force him to a dead end were like small geckos without any threat! As for the crocodile, it did not know what change Xu You had, but it still opened its bloody mouth and pounced at him. A ruthless glint flashed through Xu¡¯s right eye as he easily dodged the crocodile¡¯s pounce. Then, he kicked his feet and Xu You¡¯s body suddenly shot out from the spot, stabbing the crocodile¡¯s neck! The moment it touched the crocodile¡¯s neck, the short knife suddenly became covered in lightning, and an extremely terrifying energy erupted. In an instant, with a terrifying lightning flash, the crocodile¡¯s head was directly cut off. Then, Xu You raised his head again and looked at the crocodiles pouncing at him. His gaze was cold as he moved. The short knife in his hand was clenched tightly and shone with a sharp light! As he raised his hand and slashed down, Xu You dealt with all the crocodiles attacking him. ¡°Phew¡­ the power of the Dragon Pearl is really powerful.¡± Xu You, who was covered in the blood of crocodiles, looked at the crocodiles lying on the ground in front of him with surprise. Clenching his fist, Xu You clearly felt a powerful force that was different from before. After suppressing the extremely violent energy in his body slightly, Xu You took a deep breath and prepared to return the way he came. However¡­ Just as Xu You was about to enter the pool, a terrifying low groan suddenly sounded from the pool in front of him. Then, the water surface slowly broke open, revealing an extremely huge python head. This python head was very huge, and it was almost no different from the front of a large truck. Its cold eyes stared fixedly in Xu You¡¯s direction. It stuck out its tongue, and an extremely terrifying dignity sounded. In the next moment, a notification sounded from the system. ¡°Warning: The Dragon Pearl Guardian has appeared. Host, please be careful.¡± Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. This Dragon Pearl actually had a special guardian? ¡®Then why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡¯ Xu You cursed the system in his mind. However, before he could digest this news, the python in front of him suddenly attacked. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Roar!¡± Bang! Bang! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Various abnormal movements and sounds continuously sounded from the pool below, causing the exploration team to look at each other. ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s going on? Is there a fight below?¡± ¡°Who knows? Can Xu You survive down there?¡± ¡°How is this possible? There are so many crocodiles. According to his strength, he¡¯s probably long dead, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but if that¡¯s the case, how do you explain the commotion below?¡± The members of the exploration team spoke at once, clearly curious about the situation below. There were no longer many members of the exploration team here. The group of people led by Han Yi had already gone to other places to explore. There were only five members of the exploration team left here. Among them, the brother of the team leader, Han Yi, Han Qianjiu, was the leader. Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Han Qianjiu looked at the pool below with even more curiosity. Then, just as Han Qianjiu was feeling puzzled, his pupils suddenly constricted. Logically speaking, if Xu You continued like this, he basically had no hope of surviving, let alone being the cause of such a huge commotion. There seemed to be only one explanation for the current situation. There was¡­ a treasure under the pool! When he thought of this, Han Qianjiu¡¯s gaze immediately became excited. However, before he could react, Han Qianjiu suddenly saw it. In the pool below, a¡­ huge tail of a python was revealed! Han Qianjiu¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. The python under the pool was at least a hundred feet tall! This huge beast was considered an overlord-level existence in a C-rank mystic realm. It was definitely an existence they could not contend with at the moment! When he thought of this, Han Qianjiu¡¯s expression immediately became a little flustered. He hurriedly took out his phone and called his brother, Han Yi. ¡°Brother! A treasure might have appeared on my side! Hurry up and come over. There¡¯s also a terrifying python!¡± After hearing about the situation, Han Yi quickly hung up. Just as the rock in Han Qianjiu¡¯s heart settled, the sound of water breaking suddenly sounded from the pool below. Han Qianjiu was stunned and hurriedly lowered his head to look. Then, he saw an extremely shocking scene. Xu You appeared. Behind him grew a pair of bright white wings that flowed with lightning. His wings continuously flapped, and thunder sounded. Xu You¡¯s body was also quickly rising. His expression was calm, and his eyes were even colder. It made the current Xu You seem like a high and mighty god! He emitted a terrifying pressure. This scene was so shocking that all the members of the exploration team were immediately stunned on the spot. Behind him, a huge and terrifying python revealed itself. The python¡¯s eyes were filled with anger, and roars filled with anger continuously sounded. Han Qianjiu saw clearly¡­ that this python was at least 180 feet long! After surfacing, the python¡¯s angry gaze instantly locked in their direction. With a cold gaze, the python instantly opened its bloody mouth and swallowed in their direction. At this moment, Xu You flew to their side and landed. He glanced at Han Qianjiu indifferently. Xu You retracted his wings and quickly ran into the distance. Seeing this scene, Han Qianjiu was first a little stunned. After reacting, he was immediately shocked. Just as he was about to escape, he discovered something in discomfort. With his speed, it was definitely impossible for him to outrun the python! Making up his mind, Han Qianjiu raised the AK in his hand, pulled the safety catch, and pulled the trigger. Countless bullets continuously shot in the direction of the python along the flames spat out by the muzzle. However¡­ the python¡¯s body was like an impenetrable wall that isolated all these bullets. Then, under Han Qianjiu¡¯s extremely despairing gaze, the python¡¯s bloody mouth arrived. ¡°Roar!¡± Amidst their despairing shouts, they were all swallowed into the python¡¯s bloody mouth. In just a few seconds, the scream stopped. In its place was an extremely thick smell of blood. At this moment, the other team members who had not left far away finally rushed back. Seeing his brother swallowed by the python with his own eyes, Han Yi immediately widened his eyes! ¡°Qianjiu!!¡± Han Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness. However, looking at the python in front of him, he could not find a way to take revenge for a moment. At this moment, among the members of the exploration team, someone could not help but exclaim when he saw this python. ¡°This¡­ this is the Dragon Guardian Monster! Before I entered the mystic realm, I saw documents about it.¡± ¡°Legend has it that the Dragon Guardian Monster protects the Dragon Pearl with terrifying strength!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the team members were in an uproar. ¡°Dragon Pearl?! I¡¯ve only heard of such a treasure in the past. I didn¡¯t expect to really see it this time.¡± ¡°What a joke. It¡¯s very difficult for us to deal with the Dragon Guardian Monster like this, right?!¡± ¡°How will we know if we don¡¯t give it a try? If we win this gamble, we will be invincible.¡± As everyone discussed, Han Yi¡¯s gaze became even more sorrowful. He looked at the scarlet blood flowing out of the corner of the python¡¯s mouth and his gaze became even gloomier. As he thought, his gaze slowly shifted to Xu You. The moment he saw Xu You, his gaze became extremely angry. ¡°Xu You!! You killed my brother!¡± He had clearly seen Xu You watching coldly from afar when the python swallowed his brother and the others. If not for Xu You deliberately wanting to kill his brother, how could he be like this?! With a cold snort, Han Yi slowly spoke in a sinister tone. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the treasure under the pool has already been taken by you, right?¡± ¡°You killed my brother and took the treasure for yourself. Xu You, oh Xu You¡­ do you know that you are half a foot into your grave?!¡± At this moment, the python seemed to have digested it and attacked the exploration team again. Han Yi¡¯s gaze turned cold as he said, ¡°Divide into two groups. Half of you, go fight the python. The other half, surround Xu You with me.¡± ¡°Since he snatched the treasure that originally belonged to our Treasure Pavilion, he should understand his outcome!¡± As Han Yi spoke, the exploration team quickly surrounded Xu You. However, Xu You looked at the members of the exploration team whose expressions were filled with greed and killing intent without any fear. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he quickly began to urge the energy in his body. In an instant, a pair of wings that surged with lightning suddenly appeared behind him. A dragon aura slowly spread out. Someone recognized the scene of Xu You¡¯s change and cried out in surprise. ¡°He¡¯s turning into a dragon!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Summoning his wings, Xu You¡¯s body immediately soared into the air. The people of the Treasure Pavilion who were originally preparing to attack him underground instantly reacted when they saw this scene. ¡°Xu You! You really took the treasure under the pool!¡± ¡°What did you do just now? Did you deliberately kill Han Qianjiu for this treasure?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. What¡¯s this treasure? Tell us the truth!¡± Everyone spoke one after another and berated Xu You. During this process, everyone gradually thought of something from the name of the Dragon Guardian Monster. Someone¡¯s pupils constricted and he said, ¡°Xu You, is the treasure you just obtained the legendary Dragon Pearl?!¡± As soon as he said this, someone else echoed. ¡°Xu You, quickly hand over the Dragon Pearl. We can discuss what to do next!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Something like the Dragon Pearl is not something you can monopolize alone.¡± As everyone spoke, their words seemed to be righteous. However, in fact, there was unconcealed greed in their eyes and expressions. Xu You was unmoved when he heard this. He only looked at the people below indifferently. ¡°Interesting words. I fell into the pool just now but none of you tried to save me. Now that I¡¯ve obtained the treasure, you¡¯re saying these things.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people from the Treasure Pavilion changed slightly. ¡°Xu You, for this treasure, you did not hesitate to let Han Qianjiu be the bait. Now, you¡¯ve directly killed him! Don¡¯t you plan to give our Treasure Pavilion an explanation?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Han Qianjiu is Captain Han Yi¡¯s brother. Don¡¯t you feel any guilt for causing his death?¡± ¡°If you know what¡¯s good for you, quickly hand over the treasure! Don¡¯t make us waste our breath!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If that¡¯s the case, you might be able to make up for your mistakes!¡± Xu You¡¯s gaze was indifferent, and his expression did not change at all because of these people¡¯s words. He glanced at the people below indifferently and smiled. ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± After Han Yi heard this, a chill gradually appeared in his eyes. Looking at the wings dancing with lightning on Xu You¡¯s back, Han Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with greed. Dragon Pearl¡­ As the captain of the Treasure Pavilion, Han Yi was naturally knowledgeable. It was also because of this that he understood even more how precious a Dragon Pearl was. Moreover, before he entered this mystic realm, he roughly knew the origins of the treasure. Legend had it that the Thunder Dragon Pearl in this mystic realm was refined by the flesh and blood of the Thunder God, Thor, after he was swallowed by the World Serpent, J?rmungandr. It was also because of this that the guardian beast here was this python. It could be said that this Thunder Dragon Pearl was priceless. Even if he had to use his own treasure to exchange for this Dragon Pearl, he was willing! Taking a deep breath, Han Yi slowly said, ¡°Xu You, you just killed my brother. There¡¯s a blood feud between us.¡± ¡°However, on account of your contribution to finding the Dragon Pearl for our Treasure Pavilion, as long as you hand over this Dragon Pearl today, I can let you go.¡± ¡°When will the cycle of vengeance end? I¡¯m also unwilling to let the hatred between us last forever.¡± ¡°If you agree, land now and hand the Dragon Pearl to me.¡± As he spoke, Han Yi even sighed as if he was feeling sorrow for his brother. Hearing this, Xu You was still unmoved. According to his limited memories, he knew very well what kind of person Han Yi was. He knew that even if he really handed over the Dragon Pearl, the vengeful Han Yi would not let him go. Of course, even if Han Yi would really let him go, he did not plan to hand over the Dragon Pearl. Hearing this, Han Yi¡¯s gaze immediately turned cold. ¡°Xu You, you said this yourself! Then don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless!¡± In an instant, Han Yi commanded the team to begin attacking Xu You in midair. This was an underground cave and there was not much space. Even if Xu You could fly, he could not go too high. The people of the exploration team were still enough to threaten Xu You. Everyone¡¯s attacks were continuous, but Xu You nimbly dodged, not giving them a chance to attack him. Although he had already obtained the Dragon Pearl, he did not know much about it. It was still a little difficult to deal with so many people. Therefore, not accepting the battle now was the best choice. However, just as the exploration team was about to speed up their attack, the python not far away immediately fell into a berserk state after smelling the Dragon Pearl aura on Xu You¡¯s body. ¡°Hiss!¡± The python suddenly pounced in Xu You¡¯s direction, but between the man and the beast, there were still people from the Treasure Pavilion. In an instant, everyone from the Treasure Pavilion screamed repeatedly at the impact of the python. The smell of blood continuously filled the air. Han Yi watched as the python rushed into the crowd and began to wreak havoc fearlessly. His gaze turned slightly cold. Then, he decisively began to command, ¡°All of you, deal with the python and stall it as much as possible.¡± ¡°I can deal with Xu You alone!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Treasure Pavilion quickly reacted. They began to use their abilities to temporarily block the python¡¯s attack and not let it disturb Han Yi. After seeing this scene, Han Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his eyes were filled with coldness as he stared in Xu You¡¯s direction. Then, his voice jumped out word by word. ¡°Xu You, you asked for this!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yi directly took out a pair of poisonous fangs and slowly revealed dense killing intent. This pair of poisonous fangs was a D-rank treasure he had discovered in the previous mystic realm. It was said to be the weapon of a relatively unknown general in the Three Kingdoms Era. When developed to a certain extent, he could even summon the heroic soul of that general to fight for the host. It was also with this pair of poisonous fangs that Xu You could stand out and become the leader of this exploration team. Raising the poisonous fangs in his hand, Han Yi quickly attacked Xu You. His actions were sharp and filled with killing intent. However, with the enhancement of the power of the Dragon Pearl, Xu You was not afraid of Han Yi at all. He instantly approached Han Yi at an extremely terrifying speed. Then, Xu You suddenly threw a punch at Han Yi¡¯s chest. A burst of energy shot out. Han Yi was shocked by Xu You¡¯s terrifying speed and strength. The corners of his eyes could not help but twitch. Just as he was about to retreat, Xu You¡¯s leg suddenly swept between his waist and abdomen. Bang! The power of the Dragon Pearl was mighty. Han Yi was sent flying with a kick. Looking up gloomily, Han Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness and greed. If it was the previous Xu You, even if Han Yi let him fight freely, it was impossible for Xu You to retreat half a step. However, now, after obtaining the Dragon Pearl, Xu You¡¯s combat strength had actually increased to this level. This was enough to show how powerful the Dragon Pearl was! Who did not want such a powerful treasure?! Then, Xu You¡¯s attacks continued. Han Yi¡¯s expression gradually turned from greed to shock. He discovered in horror that he did not seem¡­ to be Xu You¡¯s match. During this process, the faraway battlefield had already become even more tragic. The python swallowed the last member of the Treasure Pavilion. Then, it slowly raised its head and stared at the battlefield between Han Yi and Xu You. However¡­ a trace of fear slowly arose in its eyes. Xu You¡¯s current strength already made it feel threatened. It could clearly sense that the compatibility between Xu You and the Dragon Pearl was increasing as the battle progressed. Seeing that the python did not move, Xu You¡¯s actions were extremely straightforward. At this moment, Han Yi was already forced back by him. Without any hesitation, Xu You suddenly kicked out. After causing Han Yi to lose his balance, the short knife suddenly stabbed into his neck! Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Han Yi was stunned. He first struggled violently and continuously waved the poisonous fangs in his hand, as if he wanted to die together. However¡­ how could Xu You give him this chance? After stabbing, Xu You quickly dodged and retreated, looking at Han Yi indifferently. Han Yi¡¯s life force quickly dwindled during this process. He stared at Xu You with eyes filled with hatred, but his mobility continuously dissipated during this process. In the end, the light in Han Yi¡¯s eyes gradually dissipated. His life force finally completely dissipated from his body. Plop. Han Yi¡¯s body finally fell to the ground. He was dead. When the python not far away saw this scene, a trace of fear and hatred flashed through its huge eyes. After Xu You swallowed the Dragon Pearl, the powerful strength he displayed simply made it extremely afraid. Moreover, the current Xu You gave him an extremely familiar feeling. About a year ago, it had seen a young man who was extremely similar in strength and eyes in this mystic realm. If not for its good luck, it would probably have died in the hands of that young man! Hatred and fear intertwined in the python¡¯s eyes. It hated Xu You very much and snatched the Dragon Pearl it was guarding. However, at the same time, it did not dare to fight Xu You head-on. The result of the collision was already obvious after seeing the state of the exploration team. Moreover, as the guardian of the Dragon Pearl, it naturally knew how powerful the treasure was. In the end, the python stuck out its tongue. Although its eyes were filled with unwillingness, it still slowly dived into the pool. Clearly, it did not plan to continue fighting Xu You head-on but chose to give up on the Dragon Pearl. Seeing the python dive into the pool, he heaved a sigh of relief. If the python still wanted to fight him to the death, even if he could finally deal with it, he would definitely be heavily injured. Xu You did not want to endure this result. He found a water source in the cave and washed his body before changing into a set of clean clothes. After doing this, Xu You turned his attention to the system space. ¡°Treasure: Thunder Dragon Pearl.¡± ¡°Heroic Soul: Thunder God, Thor.¡± ¡°Active Skill: Thunder God¡¯s Fury (In this state, the host¡¯s combat strength will increase by ten times. Negative effect: In this state, the host will become impulsive.)¡± When Xu You saw this, he could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that the heroic soul in a Thunder Dragon Pearl he casually found would actually be the Thunder God, Thor! Suppressing the joy in his heart, he took a deep breath and followed the way he came to find the exit of this underground cave mystic realm. As soon as he crawled out of the cave, a few figures appeared in front of Xu You. He quickly recognized these people. Not far away, the white-bearded old man standing with his hands behind his back was the Great Elder of the Treasure Pavilion. He was the person in charge of their area. Usually, the exploration team had to pass through the Great Elder to submit and receive missions. Apart from that, there were also a few higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion. Everyone¡¯s gazes landed on Xu You. After a long time, when they saw that no one walked out, everyone¡¯s expressions immediately became strange. ¡°Xu You, where are the others?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Didn¡¯t you go down with an entire exploration team? Why are you the only one coming up now?¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Han Yi? Isn¡¯t he the captain of your team? Why isn¡¯t he here?¡± Not far away, the Great Elder did not ask at once like the others. After seeing that no one else came up, the Great Elder¡¯s gaze firmly locked onto Xu You. Then¡­ his gaze gradually became sharp. Something was wrong. If it was said that in the previous exploration team, only Han Yi¡¯s aura could attract the Great Elder¡¯s attention, then, the aura of the current Xu You had completely surpassed Han Yi at that time. In fact, the Great Elder was certain that the current Xu You¡¯s strength had definitely surpassed Han Yi! The Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said, ¡°Xu You, what happened to your strength? What happened in the cave?¡± Hearing this, Xu You did not plan to hide the situation below. After organizing his words, Xu You directly told him what had happened below in a relatively objective manner. He included the part where he was forced by Han Yi and plotted against. In order to risk his life, he jumped into the pool and found the Dragon Pearl. In the end, he completed his revenge and escaped alone. As Xu You explained, the expressions of the surrounding crowd were in disbelief. Clearly, they did not dare to believe Xu You¡¯s experience. However, after Xu You revealed his aura, they had no choice but to believe him. When they recalled the power and rarity of the Dragon Pearl, greed immediately appeared in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion. ¡°Xu You, you¡¯ve done quite well this time. You¡¯ve made a very good contribution to our Treasure Pavilion. Now, hand over your Dragon Pearl.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Although there are some flaws in this mission, since you found the Dragon Pearl for us, the result is not bad.¡± With just a few words, they said that this Dragon Pearl that had already been swallowed by Xu You was the private property of the Treasure Pavilion. This made Xu You frown slightly. One had to know that if one wanted to take out a treasure that had already been swallowed into their body, it would cause huge damage to the host. In fact, if he was not careful, he would even die because of this! Thinking of this, Xu You immediately frowned. ¡°Why should I hand over the Dragon Pearl? This is something I obtained myself. Why should I hand it to you?¡± As soon as he said this, the gazes of the surrounding crowd immediately turned cold. ¡°Xu You, are you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?¡± Xu You ignored him when he heard this. For the sake of a treasure, these people did not even care about his life. Clearly, they did not treat him as a human. Perhaps, in their eyes, Xu You was only a treasure-seeking tool that could be casually sacrificed! In that case, why should Xu You be polite?! Seeing this, the eyes of the higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion were immediately filled with coldness. Then, they exchanged glances and made a decision at the same time. ¡°Xu You, since you¡¯re disobedient, don¡¯t blame us for killing you and snatching your treasure!¡± As they spoke, these people directly rushed toward Xu You and took out their weapons. However, Xu You had already swallowed the Dragon Pearl. How could these people be his match? In a few exchanges, they were all killed by Xu You. When the Great Elder saw this scene, his calm expression changed. Frowning slightly, a trace of anger flashed through his eyes. ¡°Xu You! You¡¯re really courting death!¡± The Great Elder¡¯s attitude did not seem to think that the actions of the people from the Treasure Pavilion had gone overboard. On the contrary, in his eyes, their actions were natural. Xu You¡¯s resistance to them was the most outrageous! As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder instantly attacked Xu You. His superpower was an A-rank treasure, the Scarlet Flame Fruit. This was a treasure he had found in the mystic realm a long time ago. It was with this treasure that he reached his current status. He also believed that with this treasure, he could easily deal with Xu You. However¡­ after the real battle, the Great Elder understood that he seemed to have been dreaming. After a few exchanges, he was actually unable to deal with Xu You. The Great Elder¡¯s gaze became even angrier. As the managing elder of the Treasure Pavilion in this area, he was originally sent by the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion to organize various teams to explore and search for treasures before handing them over. Logically speaking, every member of the exploration team should listen to his orders and commands. However¡­ not only did Xu You kill people from their Treasure Pavilion today, he even refused to hand over the treasure he had obtained under such circumstances. This made the Great Elder feel that his dignity had been severely provoked. Thinking of this, the Great Elder became even angrier. ¡°Xu You, are you really unwilling to hand over the treasure?¡± There was no answer. ¡°You killed so many people from our Treasure Pavilion today. Our Treasure Pavilion will definitely not let you off!¡± Hearing this, Xu You immediately sneered. ¡°They¡¯re courting death!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Elder was immediately even angrier. ¡°The Treasure Pavilion will definitely kill traitors no matter where they go!¡± ¡°The news here has long been sent to the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion through our communication device.¡± ¡°In other words, even if you can escape from me today, you definitely won¡¯t be able to escape the pursuit of the Treasure Pavilion!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder attacked again. Just as the two of them were fighting, a huge fog suddenly descended and covered them. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This fog looked extremely hazy and had a different kind of beauty. However, regardless of whether it was the Great Elder or Xu You, they felt a powerful threat from this fog! Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously looked into the fog. He could probably determine from the aura coming from the fog that this was not natural. It was the phenomenon summoned by a very high-rank mutant. When he thought of this, Xu You subconsciously frowned. Among the people he knew, there was definitely no one of this level and ability. This also meant that it was actually very difficult for the current Xu You to determine if this person was a friend or foe. When he thought of this, Xu You¡¯s expression became a little serious. At this moment, the Great Elder naturally had the same judgment. He glanced at Xu You and then at the approaching fog, his eyes filled with surprise. ¡°Xu You, this is your reinforcements?!¡± Xu You was slightly stunned as he had originally thought that this fog was reinforcements from the Treasure Pavilion. At this moment, when he heard the question, he knew that even the Great Elder did not know the identity of the person! When he thought of this, Xu You did not answer. Instead, he sneered. Seeing him like this, the Great Elder was a little uncertain. The two of them immediately stopped and pulled away. Then, their gazes were extremely serious as they looked at the fog that was continuously approaching. Then¡­ just as their gazes became heavier. Tap! Tap! Tap! The sound of high heels stepping on the ground slowly sounded from the fog. Xu You was stunned by his thought. After reacting, the corners of his mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile. Did he hear wrongly? However¡­ just as this thought arose. In the fog in front of him, a figure slowly became clearer. The figure looked extremely tall, and the ratio of her figure was abnormally good. Xu You¡¯s gaze subconsciously moved down and he clearly saw that under that person¡¯s feet¡­ she was indeed wearing a pair of high heels! Xu You was stunned. The figure that walked out of the fog finally revealed her entire body. However¡­ Xu You and the Great Elder could not see her face clearly. A fog enveloped her. Looking down, the cheongsam that accentuated her figure immediately outlined her already sexy figure perfectly. Xu You roughly estimated that even without her high heels, this woman was at least 1.7 meters tall. However, after revealing her true appearance, she had no intention of speaking at all, nor did she give Xu You and the Great Elder a chance to speak. She slowly raised her finger and slowly condensed the fog that enveloped her. Pistols, swords, mace, and all kinds of weapons seemed to have been born under her will. There were also countless lions, tigers, and hyenas that were slowly pinched by her during this process. Then, after she gently waved her finger, these weapons and ferocious animals condensed from the fog instantly attacked him and the Great Elder! The attack condensed from this fog looked a little overwhelming. This also made it difficult for the Great Elder and Xu You to resist. As she raised her hand and killed another wolf made of fog, the Great Elder subconsciously looked in the woman¡¯s direction. Seeing that the woman still had an indifferent expression, he was also a little shocked. After this battle, although he was still unable to confirm this person¡¯s background, the Great Elder had already roughly understood her strength from her aura. This was an S-rank mutant! ¡°Who are you? Why do you want to kill me? I¡¯m an elder of the Treasure Pavilion. There shouldn¡¯t be any hatred between us!¡± As soon as he said this, the woman did not answer. Instead, she raised her hand slightly and increased her attack again. It was already a little difficult for the Great Elder to maintain his original situation. At this moment, this woman increased her attack again, and the Great Elder immediately looked a little helpless. Countless illusory and strange attacks made the Great Elder¡¯s expression become even uglier. This feeling was as if people were continuously attacking from all directions. No matter how strong the Great Elder was, it was inevitable that he could not handle all the attacks. After falling a few times, the Great Elder suffered a few heavy blows. Immediately, the situation became even more difficult. On the other hand, although Xu You could not sense how strong this woman was, he roughly knew that this woman was very strong! Compared to the Great Elder, she was definitely stronger! However¡­ a trace of doubt flashed through Xu You¡¯s eyes. This woman was clearly very strong, and she was ruthless when attacking the Great Elder. However, when her attack landed on Xu You, it did not seem to be powerful. The effect was extremely ordinary. However, under these attacks, the illusions produced occasionally made him go into a daze. Apart from that, there was no other effect. After the Great Elder saw that the attacks around him had become even more intense, his expression became even more serious. He knew very well that something was wrong with the current situation. In less than a few minutes, he would probably be in trouble! Thinking of this, the Great Elder suddenly gritted his teeth and ignored the treasure on Xu You¡¯s body. He immediately chose to escape. However¡­ just as he was about to move¡­ The woman suddenly flashed and suddenly pulled down the Great Elder who urged all his strength to escape! The Great Elder was originally already in the air, but he was forcefully pulled back by her. This scene also surprised Xu You, who was not far away. Then, just as the Great Elder revealed a shocked expression and was about to turn around to counterattack, under the woman¡¯s control, the fog slowly condensed into an almost material spear. Then, with an extremely sharp aura, it suddenly stabbed the Great Elder¡¯s chest. Puff! This extremely sharp spear instantly pierced through the Great Elder¡¯s chest. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he could not say a complete sentence for a long time. In the end¡­ the life in his eyes slowly dissipated. His head tilted and he fell to the ground. After doing this, the woman turned to look at Xu You. Then, she slowly walked towards him. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As she continuously walked over, the fog that originally enveloped her face slowly dissipated. This sexy and tall woman finally slowly revealed her true appearance. The moment he saw her face, Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression was a little shocked. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Xu You did not expect that the person whose strength surpassed the Great Elder of the Treasure Pavilion would be her. Ling Lan! He had just seen this person walk out of the fog. When he saw her figure and the charming and sexy aura on her body, he had some thoughts. However, in the end, he did not associate the person in front of him with that Ling Lan. After all, the strength displayed by the two of them was really worlds apart. After seeing her face clearly, Xu You became certain. The person in front of him was Han Yi¡¯s passionate girlfriend back then and the person who had framed him. Back in the cave, she had almost been seen by Han Yi during the process of intercepting the information about the Treasure Pavilion. Xu You happened to pass by at that time and became her scapegoat. Then, she deliberately fabricated everything about her relationship with Xu You and said in front of Han Yi that she had a private meeting with him before escaping. It was also because of this that Xu You was hated by Han Yi, causing the subsequent series of events. When he thought of this, Xu You¡¯s expression became a little ugly. ¡°Who are you? How did you walk out of the cave?¡± Xu You had previously felt that it was strange. When he was in the cave, the other members of the exploration team were all there, but Ling Lan was nowhere to be seen. When Ling Lan heard this, she covered her red lips and chuckled. After a long time, after finally stopping laughing, Ling Lan spoke again, ¡°Xu You, you don¡¯t have to worry about how I walked out of the cave.¡± ¡°As for who I am¡­ I¡¯m naturally Ling Lan.¡± As she spoke, Ling Lan¡¯s gaze sized up Xu You, and some interest slowly appeared in her eyes. ¡°Let me tell you something. I¡¯ve taken a fancy to you. That¡¯s why I let you have it easy previously and spent the night with you.¡± ¡°However, I thought that you would die in the cave this time. I didn¡¯t expect¡­ you to actually give me such a huge surprise.¡± ¡°You can escape from Han Yi and even obtain the treasure inside¡­ It¡¯s naturally worth my approval.¡± Hearing this, the expression on Xu You¡¯s face changed slightly. From what Ling Lan said, he roughly knew some information. From the beginning to the end, he had been treated by her as a scapegoat. When he thought of this, Xu You¡¯s eyes focused slightly and he said, ¡°Then you spent so much effort and hid your strength. You didn¡¯t even hesitate to spend the night with me.¡± ¡°What¡­ is this for?¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan chuckled and simply snapped her fingers. ¡°You¡¯re very smart. You got to the point immediately.¡± As she spoke, she rubbed the space between her eyebrows as if thinking about how to answer this question. After a while, she spoke again. ¡°Thousand Chance Building¡­ have you heard of it?¡± Hearing this, Xu You immediately raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew the organization of the Thousand Chance Building. Just like the Treasure Pavilion, the Thousand Chance Building was also an organization that explored mystic realms and treasures. The strength of this organization was similar to the Treasure Pavilion. In the early stages, it had many conflicts with the Treasure Pavilion. After so many years, not only did the hatred between the two sides not resolve, it even deepened because of various conflicts. Today, there was no doubt that the two organizations were sworn enemies. When Ling Lan suddenly mentioned this, Xu You made some connections. Looking at Xu You¡¯s expression, Ling Lan chuckled. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m from the Thousand Chance Building.¡± Seeing Ling Lan admit it so bluntly, Xu You was a little surprised. ¡°So, what¡¯s your goal in coming here this time?¡± When Ling Lan heard this, she chuckled. ¡°As a spy planted in the Treasure Pavilion by the Thousand Chance Building, I¡¯m naturally here to steal the secrets of the Treasure Pavilion.¡± ¡°I came to the cave this time because of the secret treasure inside.¡± As she spoke, her gaze swept past the corpse of the Great Elder not far away. ¡°I helped you deal with the Great Elder this time. I¡¯m helping you and also helping myself.¡± As she spoke, she sized up Xu You with surprise. ¡°Originally, I came this time because I had obtained information that there was a Dragon Pearl in the mystic realm here.¡± ¡°This thing even tempted me. Therefore, I simply followed you into this cave.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect¡­ you to be one step ahead and obtain the Dragon Pearl.¡± When Xu You heard this, the expression on his face became slightly serious. He subconsciously took a step back. Ling Lan naturally noticed his change. She chuckled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have to snatch the Dragon Pearl in your body, right?¡± Xu You did not relax at all and still looked at Ling Lan in fear. The method that Ling Lan had just displayed made him have no choice but to be wary. Seeing this, she shook her head helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that I¡¯m no longer interested in your Dragon Pearl, but I¡¯m very interested in you.¡± As she spoke, Ling Lan continued, ¡°I have the mystic realm map of an A-rank mystic realm, the Fallen City. I obtained this by chance.¡± ¡°To explore this mystic realm, I don¡¯t want to rely on the Thousand Chance Building or benefit the Treasure Pavilion. The cost of involving these two organizations is too much.¡± ¡°Therefore, I want to be independent and find someone to explore this mystic realm with me.¡± As she spoke, Ling Lan¡¯s gaze slowly locked onto Xu You. ¡°You are the person I want to find and cooperate with.¡± Hearing this, the expression on Xu You¡¯s face changed slightly, but Ling Lan did not care about his reaction and continued to speak. ¡°In the next period of time, try your best to organize your own treasure-seeking team.¡± ¡°At that time, I¡¯ll support you in entering the Fallen City.¡± ¡°As for the treasures we obtain at that time, the two of us will rely on our own ability. How about it?¡± Hearing this, Xu You did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood on the spot and fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Ling Lan did not rush him. Instead, she stood on the spot confidently and looked at Xu You¡¯s changing expression. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Xu You¡¯s gaze froze. He had to admit that after his relationship with the Treasure Pavilion fell out, there was not much he could do. According to the Great Elder, it would not be long before the Treasure Pavilion sent people to pursue him! The suggestion proposed by Ling Lan seemed to be the best path he could take! Thinking of this, Xu You nodded. ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan immediately smiled. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ I admire your decisive personality the most.¡± Ling Lan smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand to Xu You, ¡°Then, we¡¯ve reached a cooperation from today onwards?¡± Xu You nodded and stretched out his hand. The two of them shook hands and quickly separated. ¡­ In an old street in Jianglin City. The expression on Ling Lan¡¯s face was a little puzzled. She looked at Xu You and asked, ¡°Why did you bring me here? Is there anything worth us coming here?¡± Hearing this, Xu You shook his head. Before Ling Lan could ask again, he said, ¡°It¡¯s not something worth us coming over¡­ but someone.¡± Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and did not ask further. Instead, she continued to follow Xu You. Soon, the two of them arrived outside a watch shop. However, it seemed that because of the baptism of countless years, the watch shop looked very dilapidated and old. Behind the wooden old counter stood an old man with a white beard and white hair. He was wearing a washed-out green shirt. In front of him stood a young man with a conflicted expression. The young man was about 20 years old. At this moment, the expression on his face was very anxious and worried. ¡°Old Tame Head, I¡¯m really a good thing. This is a treasure passed down by my elders.¡± ¡°After so many years, it¡¯s considered an old antique. If not for the fact that I¡¯m really short of money now, I wouldn¡¯t have thought of selling it.¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head waved his hand impatiently. ¡°What old antique? Kid, look carefully. This is a watch shop. I don¡¯t accept your things.¡± ¡°If you really want to sell it, go to places like the Treasure Pavilion to take a look.¡± ¡°Are you joking?¡± Hearing this, the young man was a little anxious. ¡°Old Tame Head, you can¡¯t do this. I¡¯ve heard of you.¡± ¡°They all say that you like to collect antiques. The price is usually fair.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Before the young man could finish, he was interrupted impatiently by the old man. ¡°Stop talking nonsense with me. I¡¯ve already said that this is a watch shop, not an antique shop. I won¡¯t take your so-called antique.¡± ¡°Get lost, get lost. Hurry up and get lost. Don¡¯t come here and disturb my peace.¡± Hearing this, the young man looked a little anxious. ¡°Hey, Old Tame Head, don¡¯t chase me away. Look at my treasure first!¡± As he spoke, the young man took out something from his pocket in a panic. It was a gem similar to glass. Old Tame Head glanced at the gem and quickly looked away in disdain. After seeing Xu You and Ling Lan enter the shop, he immediately called out. ¡°Take a look around first.¡± After saying that, he retracted his gaze and looked at the gem again. ¡°This thing of yours doesn¡¯t look valuable.¡± Hearing this, the young man sighed. ¡°Although this thing¡­ was passed down by my ancestors, it¡¯s actually useless to hold it.¡± ¡°There are no superpowers in it. If I take it out to sell now, I can only sell it as a relatively valuable treasure.¡± As he spoke, he continued, ¡°However, although this treasure doesn¡¯t have any superpowers, it must be very valuable to be passed down by my ancestors for generations.¡± When the old man heard this, he sneered and asked, ¡°Tell me, how much do you plan to sell this gem to me for?¡± When the young man heard this, he first swallowed nervously, then slowly drew a finger. ¡°100,000.¡± When the old man heard this, he did not say anything and directly patted the young man¡¯s shoulder. Then, he slowly pointed at his dilapidated threshold and asked, ¡°Did you see that?¡± The young man was a little puzzled. ¡°See what?¡± ¡°That¡¯s the exit. You can get lost now.¡± When the young man heard this, he was immediately stunned on the spot. After reacting, he hurriedly said, ¡°Old Tame Head, my treasure is really worth this price. I¡¯m not asking for a sky-high price.¡± Hearing this, the old man still did not answer and only sneered. Seeing this, the young man¡¯s expression became a little conflicted. Just as he was about to lower the price and make another bid, Ling Lan¡¯s delicate laughter suddenly sounded. ¡°Little brother, come here.¡± The young man was first stunned when he heard this. After turning around and seeing the sexy and charming Ling Lan, he swallowed his saliva. After reacting, he said in confusion, ¡°You¡­ what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ling Lan pointed at the gem in his hand and said, ¡°You plan to sell this gem, right?¡± Hearing this, the young man smiled bitterly and nodded. ¡°Unfortunately¡­ the boss is unwilling to buy it.¡± Ling Lan smiled faintly, ¡°I¡¯ll pay 100,000.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re willing to sell, I can transfer the money now.¡± Hearing this, the young man was immediately overjoyed. He had originally shouted the price of 100,000. At this moment, when he heard that Ling Lan was willing to buy it for 100,000, he was naturally willing to sell it. After the two of them completed the transaction and the money and goods were settled, the young man quickly walked out of the watch shop happily. When the old man saw this, he immediately sneered and looked at Ling Lan coldly. ¡°Who are you?! What right do you have to intercept my things?!¡± Old Tame Head was actually already tempted by the treasure. How could he not see that this thing was an expensive treasure? The reason why he acted like that was only to bargain. Unexpectedly, this bargain was cut short by Ling Lan. Hearing this, Ling Lan chuckled and patted Xu You. ¡°Xu You, you¡¯re really right. This old man was bargaining just now.¡± Hearing this, Xu You chuckled. How could he not know what Old Tame Head was thinking? In the past, by chance, he learned about the background of this watch shop¡¯s owner. He roughly understood this person¡¯s personality and ability. ¡°Old Tame Head, your real name is Jiang Wenjie. I officially invite you to become a member of our mystic realm exploration team.¡± Xu You had long known that the boss of the watch shop here was like an encyclopedia of mystic realm exploration. He knew almost all the strange mystic realms and the various creatures and phenomena in them like the back of his hand. If their exploration team could have Old Tame Head join them, the dangers in the various mystic realms would definitely not be a problem for them. If Xu You had to make an analogy, Old Tame Head was the support of a team. While the others attacked, he followed behind and continuously provided information and various help. To an exploration team, this was definitely an indispensable person. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Old Tame Head heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. ¡°What treasure do you have in the mystic realm? Hurry up and take it out for me to see.¡± The expression on Old Tame Head¡¯s face immediately became a little excited. As he spoke, he looked at Xu You with interest. Hearing this, Xu You chuckled and shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t find something in the mystic realm and want you to take a look.¡± ¡°The reason why I invited you to join us is that I want you to enter a mystic realm with our exploration team.¡± Hearing this, the excitement on the old man¡¯s face immediately froze. ¡°Kid¡­ what did you say?¡± ¡°I said that we want you to enter a mystic realm with us to explore. At that time, we¡¯ll definitely distribute you enough treasures.¡± Old Tame Head shook his head and said, ¡°The other sentence.¡± Xu You was stunned and slowly said, ¡°I want to invite you to join our exploration team¡­¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! That¡¯s it.¡± As he spoke, the old man coughed lightly, his expression extremely serious. ¡°I reject!¡± Xu You was stunned. He did not expect Old Tame Head to say this. Ling Lan was also slightly stunned, then she laughed. After laughing, she said, ¡°Old Tame Head, why are you unwilling to enter the mystic realm?¡± When the old man heard this, he sneered. ¡°If you find any treasure in the mystic realm and want me to take a look, I can agree. This is not a big deal.¡± ¡°However, if you want me to explore the mystic realm¡­ let me tell you, there¡¯s no way!¡± As he spoke, Old Tame Head sneered and was about to chase the two of them out of the watch shop. Ling Lan¡¯s expression turned slightly cold, ¡°You¡¯re unwilling to join no matter what?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°What if I say that I want to kill you if you¡¯re unwilling? Will you still reject?¡± Old Tame Head¡¯s expression froze, but he quickly nodded. ¡°I¡¯m still unwilling! If you want me to enter the mystic realm to explore, you might as well let me die!¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She did not expect Old Tame Head¡¯s attitude to be so firm. Xu You thought for a moment and told him about the Dragon Pearl he had obtained in the mystic realm. After saying that, he even slightly revealed the aura of the Dragon Pearl. Seeing this, Old Tame Head was immediately shocked. ¡°Dragon Pearl?! The Thunder Dragon Pearl? How did you find it?¡± Xu You chuckled, ¡°If you follow us into the mystic realm, I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head looked a little conflicted. However, soon, he shook his head. ¡°Forget it. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m not curious.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to those dangerous places again in my life.¡± Xu You and Ling Lan looked at each other. The expression on her face was also a little strange. Then, she turned to look at Old Tame Head. ¡°It was Xu You who said that you¡¯re very capable and that you¡¯re an encyclopedia in the mystic realm. If that¡¯s the case, I can understand your arrogance.¡± ¡°But if I know that you clearly don¡¯t have the ability, but you still have to put on such airs¡­¡± Old Tame Head immediately sneered, ¡°Are you suspecting me?¡± Ling Lan did not answer. Instead, she took out a piece of jewelry. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Old Tame Head glanced at it and sneered, ¡°The Red Spirit Pearl. It can only be produced in the Yin Land¡¯s mystic realm and has the effect of cooling down the body.¡± Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and took out another rock. ¡°The material of the Prismatic Rock is hard and sharp. It can be produced at the peak of most mystic realms¡­¡± Ling Lan took out a few common products from the mystic realm in a row and was answered word for word by Old Tame Head. Apart from that, Old Tame Head even mentioned a few things that even Ling Lan and Xu You did not know. After retracting the last thing, the expression on Ling Lan¡¯s face was a little surprised. She could not help but look at Xu You. Seeing that Ling Lan did not take out anything to test him, the old man sneered. ¡°Aren¡¯t you looking down on me a little too much by using these things to test me?¡± As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Ling Lan. Just as Ling Lan frowned slightly and looked a little displeased, Old Tame Head spoke again. ¡°From the aura of your superpower, the treasure you have is a product of the Mirage Mystic Realm. It should be related to the Dream God, Morpheus. Am I right?¡± Ling Lan¡¯s pupils constricted as she stared at Old Tame Head. Ever since she saw Old Tame Head, she had never used her superpower. However, how could she not be surprised that Old Tame Head could so easily see through the secrets of the heavens? Facing Ling Lan¡¯s sharp gaze, the old man was not afraid at all and looked at her indifferently. After a long time, Ling Lan slowly calmed down. ¡°Your ability¡­ is indeed more powerful than I imagined.¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head laughed and said, ¡°Not only do I know that the treasure on you was found in the Mirage Mystic Realm.¡± ¡°I even know that the thing you¡¯re carrying¡­ should be the Charming Heart Crystal, right? That¡¯s produced from the Fallen City.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that¡­ this Charming Heart Crystal is a corner of the crown of the Fallen Queen.¡± ¡°Am I right?¡± Ling Lan swallowed her saliva. The natural charm on her body was greatly diluted by this shock. Taking a deep breath, Ling Lan seemed to have finally been convinced by Old Tame Head. Nodding, she said, ¡°I recently took this Charming Heart Crystal from others. I¡¯m not afraid to tell you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve actually never been to the Fallen City myself.¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head did not seem surprised. ¡°No wonder there¡¯s no aura of the Fallen City on you other than that Charming Heart Crystal.¡± When Xu You heard this, he chuckled and said, ¡°Old Tame Head, you should understand now that we¡¯re different from those crooked exploration teams, right?¡± ¡°Following us won¡¯t put you in danger. At the same time, it will give you many benefits.¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head looked a little conflicted. Seeing him like this, Xu You knew that the matter was about to be settled, so he simply added fuel to the fire. ¡°Right, there¡¯s something I forgot to tell you.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve recently provoked the people of the Treasure Pavilion. They¡¯re already hunting us down.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t follow us, when we¡¯re caught by the Treasure Pavilion, we¡¯ll drag you in.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll expose you as a member of our team when we¡¯re interrogated.¡± When the old man heard this, he was immediately speechless. He glared at Xu You and said fiercely, ¡°Rascal! Then do I still have a choice to reject?!¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Xu You heard this, he chuckled, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Ling Lan chuckled charmingly and even patted Xu You¡¯s shoulder, ¡°You¡¯re so naughty.¡± Old Tame Head sighed and said, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s pack our things in the next few days and prepare the items to enter the Fallen City.¡± Hearing this, Xu You and Ling Lan naturally had no objections. For the next three days, the three of them had been preparing to enter the Fallen City. There was naturally no need to mention food and water. Apart from that, there were also some necessities to explore the mystic realm. Three days later, in the dilapidated watch shop. The three of them had already packed their things. At this moment, they were holding their last meeting before setting off. After discussing all the specific matters, Old Tame Head asked the last question. ¡°Then what¡¯s the name of our team? We can¡¯t start entering the mystic realm and not even have a name, right?¡± Hearing this, Xu You thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer. ¡°How about calling it the Dragon Soul Team?¡± When Ling Lan heard this, she nodded. ¡°Agreed.¡± In fact, it did not matter what the name was. She only wanted the team to have a form of identification. Hearing this, she naturally agreed. Soon, the three of them brought the things to an off-road vehicle outside the shop. Sitting in the car, Old Tame Head looked back at his dilapidated old shop for the last time. ¡°Sigh¡­ I wonder when I¡¯ll be back next time.¡± The two ignored his sorrow. Xu You stepped on the accelerator and the off-road vehicle flew out from the spot. Before he could retract his emotions, the shop had already disappeared in front of him. He glanced at Xu You speechlessly and lowered his head to read some ancient books. ¡­ A day later, the three of them entered a desert. Looking at the endless desert, Xu You stopped the car and asked Ling Lan, ¡°What do we do next?¡± When Ling Lan heard this, she first glanced at the endless desert and then at the sign by the side of the road. Then, she said, ¡°Drive ten kilometers southwest. There¡¯s an inn there.¡± ¡°That inn is also the last place with people before entering the Fallen City.¡± Hearing this, Xu You raised his eyebrows and started the car. Old Tame Head raised his head. After glancing at the desert, he quickly lost interest and continued to read the ancient book. The vehicle stopped outside the inn. To Xu You¡¯s surprise, there were already many off-road vehicles parked outside the inn. When Ling Lan saw this scene, she was not too surprised. The three of them got out of the car and quickly walked into the inn. As soon as the three of them entered, a waiter greeted them with a smile. Xu You booked two rooms. He and Old Tame Head took one, and Ling Lan took her own. The reason why he shared a room with the old man was not to save money. It was just that Old Tame Head looked weak. If he encountered danger, the situation would really be difficult to deal with. After packing up, the three of them went out to the hall of the inn for dinner. As soon as he sat down, countless discussions sounded around him. ¡°Hey, hey, tell me, how dangerous is this Fallen City?¡± ¡°Heh, you¡¯re already here. Are you still afraid of danger? Let me tell you, I didn¡¯t consider any danger this time. I have a rotten life. In any case, I¡¯ll take this risk.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but where is the Fallen City? I feel that it¡¯s not very easy to find it.¡± ¡°Heh, let¡¯s follow when the time comes. Someone will find it sooner or later.¡± Hearing the discussion around them, Xu You and the other two did not speak and only ordered. Ling Lan¡¯s sexy and charming appearance naturally attracted the attention of many people in the venue. The table behind them wanted to attract her attention and spoke loudly. ¡°I heard that many ruthless people on the Arcana Ranking have attacked in this exploration of the Fallen City!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Isn¡¯t Wang Qian a ferocious person ranked at the top of the Arcana Ranking? I heard that he¡¯s here this time.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also Zhang Ling. His strength is only about the same as Wang Qian¡¯s.¡± The discussion of the people at this table did not make Ling Lan react much. Instead, it made the others in the venue react. Immediately, many people echoed their words. ¡°That¡¯s right. These ruthless people on the Arcana Ranking are usually elusive. This time, so many of them came out at once for the Fallen City.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. If I were them, I would definitely be tempted. You have to know that there are treasures above A-rank everywhere. Who can resist such temptation?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Once we have such a treasure, we can have that heaven-defying superpower. If I can find one at that time, I might be able to charge into the Arcana Ranking!¡± The discussion continued, and their voices were filled with excitement and anticipation. Clearly, they were filled with hope for the Fallen City. Hearing the discussion of the surrounding crowd, the corners of Ling Lan¡¯s mouth curled into a mocking smile as she quietly ate her food. Xu You and Old Tame Head¡¯s reactions were similar to Ling Lan¡¯s. It had to be said that what these people said was really a little laughable. If it was really as they said, and the Fallen City was filled with top-notch treasures to pick up, did they have to prepare so much to explore this Fallen City? Moreover, even if there were treasures everywhere in the Fallen City, wouldn¡¯t there be ferocious beasts guarding treasures in the Fallen City? This was a problem that could be understood without thinking. After the three of them finished eating, they did not continue to stay in the hall. Instead, they directly returned to their rooms. After Xu You took a shower, he lay on the bed and prepared to rest. In his half-asleep state, he suddenly heard a cold system notification. Ding dong! ¡°Hint: The Fallen City has appeared. The location is¡­¡± ¡°Unfortunately, the system can¡¯t accurately give the location of the Fallen City because it¡¯s continuously moving.¡± ¡°The general direction is: About 30 kilometers east of this inn.¡± Hearing the notification from his system space, Xu You¡¯s sleepiness immediately dissipated. He sat up in bed energetically, his eyes filled with surprise. He was originally thinking about how to find the Fallen City tomorrow. Unexpectedly, when he was about to doze off, the system gave him a hint. This was a pleasant surprise. Thinking of this, Xu You¡¯s expression became even more excited and expectant. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He directly got up from the bed. After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu You quickly walked to Old Tame Head¡¯s side. He patted Old Tame Head¡¯s shoulder and shouted softly, ¡°Old Tame Head, Old Tame Head, wake up, quickly wake up¡­¡± Not long after Old Tame Head fell asleep, Xu You¡¯s pat directly woke him up. He looked at Xu You in confusion and came back to his senses. His expression quickly became serious. ¡°What¡¯s going on?! Is there any danger?¡± Xu You shook his head and lowered his voice to Old Tame Head¡¯s side. ¡°The location of the Fallen City should have appeared.¡± When the old man heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu You in confusion. ¡°How do you know?¡± Since Xu You dared to tell Old Tame Head this news, he was naturally already prepared. Hearing Old Tame Head¡¯s question, the expression on Xu You¡¯s face did not change at all. He naturally replied, ¡°The Thunder God¡¯s Pearl I obtained previously seems to have the function of searching for treasures. I clearly felt the Thunder God¡¯s Pearl in my body begin to throb.¡± Xu You had long thought of this explanation. He would definitely not expose the fact that he had the system to anyone. Because of the existence of the system, it was inevitable that Xu You would show some abnormalities. In this aspect, Xu You also needed to be prepared in advance. After hearing this, the expression on Old Tame Head¡¯s face changed, ¡°I¡¯ve indeed seen treasures that can explore other treasures in some ancient books.¡± ¡°It seems that your Thunder God¡¯s Pearl is even more magical than I thought.¡± Hearing this, Xu You nodded and did not answer. Instead, he directly said, ¡°We can¡¯t continue sleeping now. Hurry up and inform Ling Lan next door.¡± Old Tame Head nodded and grabbed his backpack like Xu You before walking out the door. When he arrived at the door of Ling Lan¡¯s room, just as Xu You was about to knock, the door automatically opened. Ling Lan¡¯s charming and exquisite face and her graceful figure appeared in front of the two of them. At this moment, Ling Lan was carrying a bag on her back. Clearly, she had long prepared something. Xu You was subconsciously stunned. Seeing his stunned expression, Ling Lan rolled her eyes at him charmingly and said, ¡°The two of you were talking so loudly. Did you really think I couldn¡¯t hear you?¡± Hearing this, Xu You frowned. One had to know that although this inn was remote, the facilities were quite good. In terms of soundproofing, at least when Xu You was in the room, he could not hear the voice next door. The discussion between him and Old Tame Head had already been soft enough, but it was still heard clearly by Ling Lan. This was enough to show how terrifying Ling Lan¡¯s S-rank strength was for the increase in all aspects of her body. ¡°Let¡¯s go. If we¡¯re any later, we won¡¯t even have a mouthful of soup to drink.¡± As Ling Lan spoke, she grabbed her bag and walked out of the inn. Xu You and Old Tame Head quickly followed. ¡°When the ruins of the Fallen City appear this time, many people must have come for it. It¡¯s definitely not only us who can discover the traces of the Fallen City.¡± ¡°Therefore, we have to go over quickly.¡± The three of them got into the car and quickly headed in the direction Xu You pointed. About 20 minutes later, the car stopped. Their path was already blocked by the huge and terrifying sand tornado in front of them. The terrifying sandstorm was continuously moving in a seemingly slow but extremely fast manner. Along the way, all the plants and rocks would be swept in. It was as if a huge black hole was continuously devouring the matter approaching it. Ling Lan¡¯s expression was slightly serious. She took a deep breath and said, ¡°This is similar to what that person told me last time.¡± ¡°According to him, this huge sand tornado is the entrance to the Fallen City.¡± ¡°As long as I can enter the eye of the sand tornado, I can enter the Fallen City.¡± Hearing this, the expression on Xu You¡¯s face was slightly serious. As expected, the more opportunities there were, the more danger there was! ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯re already here.¡± After patting Old Tame Head¡¯s shoulder and gesturing for him to rest assured, Xu You grabbed his backpack and got out of the car. Old Tame Head looked at the huge sand tornado in front of him with a serious and conflicted expression. However, after thinking for a long time, he still sighed in resignation and walked out of the off-road vehicle. After the few of them got out of the car, they discovered that they were not the only ones who had arrived. Not far away, a young man with a blank expression was looking at the sand tornado in front of him in a daze. ¡°This¡­ if this is the entrance to the Fallen City, how can I enter?¡± ¡°I just couldn¡¯t sleep and came out to take a breather. How did I encounter such a thing?¡± The young man looked confused and frightened. After reacting, he hurriedly took out his phone and called his friends far away in the inn. After this call, the originally quiet inn in the middle of the night immediately erupted. Curses and cheers sounded incessantly. For a moment, the inn seemed to be extremely lively. However, all of this had nothing to do with Xu You and the other two in front of the sand tornado. Xu You¡¯s gaze quietly looked at the sand tornado and the nearby area. Apart from the confused young man, there were a few teams on the field. In the southwest, on a slope, a five-person team was sizing up the sand tornado in front of them with a serious expression. From time to time, they would talk softly. Their gazes would also look in the direction of Xu You and the others from time to time, and fear and curiosity flashed through their eyes. In the east, an indifferent young man stood with his hands behind his back. The terrifying sand tornado seemed to be nothing in front of him. He only silently looked at the sand tornado in front of him. Everything else seemed to have nothing to do with him. Further away, there was also a young man who was about the same age as Xu You. He was looking at the sand tornado in front of him with a smile. Xu You was slightly stunned. Was there something wrong with this person? Facing such a sand tornado, he actually smiled here without thinking about how to deal with it. At this moment, the smiling young man seemed to have noticed Xu You¡¯s gaze. He turned around and met Xu You¡¯s gaze. He immediately revealed a brilliant smile. Then, his mouth moved slightly. Due to the loud wind and dust, Xu You could not hear what he was saying. He could only rely on the shape of his mouth to determine that he was saying, ¡°Hello~¡± Xu You raised his eyebrows and nodded at that person before quickly retracting his gaze. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This person did not seem to be very smart. It was best not to be involved with him. When Xu You thought of this, he simply retracted his gaze. When the young man not far away saw Xu You retract his gaze, he was first slightly stunned, then the expression on his face was a little angry and amused. Looking at Xu You¡¯s side profile, the young man could not help but shake his head. Then, he did not care about the others and directly strode toward the sand tornado. This scene instantly attracted the gazes of everyone present. The young man who had just hung up with a confused expression immediately widened his eyes when he saw this scene. No¡­ what was he doing? Was he going to tempt fate? The expression of the five-person team immediately turned cold as they stared at the young man who was rushing toward the sand tornado. At this moment, the indifferent and proud white-clothed man cast his gaze at that person. ¡°This kid¡­ is going to charge directly? He¡¯s really not afraid of death.¡± Old Tame Head stood beside the two of them with a slightly emotional expression. Hearing this, Xu You frowned slightly. Looking at the young man who was continuously flickering and quickly approaching the center of the sand tornado, his expression flashed with curiosity. ¡°This person¡­ is not simple.¡± Ling Lan stared at the young man in the venue and suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Xu You and Old Tame Head were slightly stunned. Ling Lan was an S-rank mutant. Her strength was naturally compatible with her rank. As an S-rank mutant, Ling Lan actually gave this evaluation to the young man in front of her. This was enough to show that this young man¡¯s strength was enough to attract their attention. While everyone present reacted differently, the young man had already approached the eye of the sand tornado. Everyone could clearly see a powerful force continuously attacking the young man. The clothes on his body stuck to his body tightly, and he even felt like they were about to be torn apart. However, the young man¡¯s body did not move. The moment he rushed to the center of the sand tornado, he actually had the mood to turn around and wave at everyone with a smile. In the next moment, the young man¡¯s body flashed. Then, he disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. Seeing this scene, the indifferent white-clothed man raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he began to move. However, compared to the young man¡¯s rampage earlier, his method was much more agile and elegant. His body floated out and jumped into the air. There was clearly no foothold in midair, but it was as if he was stepping on solid ground. He jumped up again and continuously approached the sand tornado like an elegant and otherworldly elf. Soon, he disappeared from the center of the sand tornado like the young man. Seeing this scene, the five-man team not far away was a little tempted. Ling Lan glanced at them and retracted her gaze. Then, she turned to look at Xu You and Old Tame Head. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We should go in.¡± When the old man heard this, he panicked slightly. However, soon, Ling Lan summoned her fog energy and quickly enveloped Old Tame Head. Then, she turned to look at Xu You. ¡°I need to watch Old Tame Head. You can take care of yourself, right?¡± Xu You nodded indifferently. Although he was a little shocked by the momentum of the sand tornado at first, after he reacted, he discovered that it was indeed not difficult for him to enter. Soon, the three of them quickly headed in the direction of the sand tornado. Sand and rocks flew up along the way, but they could not affect Xu You and the others at all. However, in the blink of an eye, they had already appeared in the center of the sand tornado. Ling Lan glanced at Xu You, then directly entered with Old Tame Head. Xu You took a deep breath and quickly followed. The scene in front of him suddenly began to spin. He was clearly in a boundless desert just now, but now, the scene in front of him had already turned into various buildings filled with the charm of an ancient civilization. In the tall and mysterious building, the charm of time slowly flowed. The mottled limestone street even made Xu You feel like he had returned to the old city. Shaking his head, Xu You quickly threw away the messy thoughts in his mind. Then, he immediately frowned and hurriedly looked around. However¡­ there was no one. Something was wrong! Where were Ling Lan and Old Tame Head?! He had clearly entered after them, but after he was teleported into the Fallen City, he could not see a figure beside him! Xu You¡¯s expression was slightly serious. This situation was a little unexpected. However, he quickly forced himself to calm down and began to analyze the current situation. From the looks of it, those who entered the Fallen City would be sent to a certain place. It was like a person who had been swept into a tornado and could not be sure where he would land. Thinking of this, Xu You frowned slightly. If that was the case, then Old Tame Head¡­ The worry in Xu You¡¯s heart only appeared for a short moment. This was because he quickly reacted. When Ling Lan entered the sand tornado, she was holding Old Jie tightly in her hand, as if she was holding a little chick. In that case, the Ling Lan and Old Tame Head should be sent to the same place. Thinking of this, Xu You heaved a sigh of relief. Shaking his head, Xu You first observed the surrounding environment before quickly walking in a direction. He was not in a hurry to find Ling Lan and Old Tame Head. With Ling Lan¡¯s protection, Old Tame Head¡¯s safety could be guaranteed. As for him, he could also take advantage of this period of time to find the secret treasures in the Fallen City. When using his system to search for treasure, Xu You still hoped that there was no one else around him. The Fallen City was very large. This was the conclusion Xu You had reached after rushing for nearly 15 minutes and not seeing anyone else. After entering the Fallen City, he chose a direction that he thought would have more people and wanted to find crowds and treasures. However, after fifteen minutes, Xu You still found nothing. Frowning slightly, he took a deep breath. Most mystic realms were of a certain size, be it large or small. It was like a mini Blue Planet. After reaching the end, people would discover that they had returned to the starting point. As for the Fallen City¡­ it seemed to be a little ridiculously large. Xu You took a deep breath and continued on his way. About ten minutes later, Xu You suddenly stopped. Xu You¡¯s gaze was slightly serious as he looked at the magnificent temple not far away. At the same time, a notification sounded from the system space. ¡°Congratulations, host. You have discovered a treasure.¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The moment the notification sounded in the system, Xu You¡¯s expression became slightly serious. This was because he could clearly smell the smell of blood coming from the temple! At this moment, although the temple was quiet, the pungent smell of fresh blood reminded Xu You that a huge battle had just happened here. Clearly, someone had died here, and even¡­ many people had died. Taking a deep breath, Xu You shifted his attention to the system space. ¡°Congratulations, host. You have discovered a treasure.¡± ¡°The treasure here is the Bottle of Life. The rank of the treasure is S.¡± ¡°Host, please take note: There¡¯s a treasure guardian here. It¡¯s the Earth God Guardian. Please be careful.¡± ¡°Treasure description: In the later years of the Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, her life was about to end. Gaia was unwilling to die like this. Thus, she began to continuously find a way to extend her life. In the end, Gaia, who came to the desert, encountered the Fallen Queen¡­¡± Xu You frowned slightly. He was a little surprised that a ruin that appeared in the desert was actually related to the legendary Goddess of the Earth, Gaia. This was something he did not expect. After focusing his attention, Xu You quickly walked towards the temple. The reminder of the treasure and the continuous smell of blood in the temple told Xu You that the guards here were very dangerous. However, Xu You could not give up a divine treasure that was right in front of him because of danger, right? Inside the temple. A rich smell of blood was continuously spreading. In the middle of the temple, a glass bottle emitting life force stood silently. Around the glass bottle, which was the interior of the temple, countless corpses fell. Some corpses were still slowly dripping with blood. Clearly, they had just died. Some corpses had long turned into eerie white bones. Clearly, they had been dead for an unknown period of time. After entering the temple and looking at the scene in front of him, Xu You¡¯s mood was slightly heavy. To be honest, even with the support of the system, he still felt a little uncertain after seeing this scene. With this in mind, Xu You¡¯s gaze began to sweep through the interior of the temple. The system notified him that there were guards guarding the Bottle of Life in the temple. Now, those so-called guards had yet to appear. As he thought, Xu You looked at the central domain of the temple that was only a step away from him. A guess appeared in his mind. Then, he slowly took a step forward. In an instant, it was as if an ancient war song had sounded from the empty temple. The clanging of weapons sounded incessantly. A mysterious and powerful aura began to gradually spread in the venue. With the sound of armor colliding, three undead soldiers in tattered armor and holding spears with varying degrees of damage appeared in front of Xu You. He was slightly stunned. His gaze first landed on the three undead soldiers before looking at the eight passageways in the temple. He had clearly seen these three soldiers walk out of the passageway in the temple. However, there were eight passageways in the temple, but only three undead soldiers walked out. The other five were empty. Xu You¡¯s gaze quickly swept across the field. In the mess in the temple, he saw the same tattered armor and weapons as the three undead soldiers. Xu You instantly understood that the other five undead soldiers who should have existed had already been destroyed by explorers over the long years. Thinking of this, Xu You¡¯s expression gradually became serious. Then, he directly summoned his lightning wings and attacked one of the undead soldiers. He threw a punch! When the three undead soldiers appeared, they had already locked onto Xu You. In that case, he might as well take the initiative to attack. Bang! After punching out, a muffled metal collision sounded. The undead soldier trembled for a moment before stabilizing its body again and ruthlessly stabbing at Xu You. Xu You narrowed his eyes and quickly dodged this strike. Then, he continued to attack the undead soldiers. However, the effect was not ideal. Frowning, Xu You glanced at the other two undead soldiers. Their eyes flashed as they waved the spears in their hands toward Xu You. This scene made Xu You feel a little pressured. He finally understood why these soldiers could resist the invasion of countless explorers over the years. This defense was simply terrifying. Even with the Thunder Pearl, he actually could not easily beat them. ¡°Try again. If it doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll retreat first. We¡¯ll talk about it after finding Ling Lan and the others.¡± Xu You was not a person who would be blinded by benefits. On the contrary, he was very rational. With this thought, Xu You¡¯s figure flew up again. He clenched his fists tightly as a violent lightning bolt spread. His feet shot out and he punched the head of the previous undead soldier. However, this time, the situation was a little beyond Xu You¡¯s expectations. Bang! After this punch landed on the head of the undead soldier, it only made it take a few steps back. However, the lightning that should have only increased the power of this punch spread to the body of the undead soldier. Then, the lightning continuously invaded its body, causing it to tremble. In fact, it directly lost its mobility. Xu You was first stunned, then his eyes flashed. Before he could think too much, he attached lightning to his fist and continuously threw punches at the ¡°old injuries¡± that the undead soldier had previously suffered. The last punch landed on the chest of the undead soldier. In an instant, the undead soldier stopped trembling. Then, it was as if a fragile toy that had been assembled had suddenly suffered an exaggerated blow. The body of the undead soldier shattered! Xu You took a deep breath and first took a few steps back, not giving the other two undead soldiers a chance to sneak attack him. After taking a few deep breaths, his gaze gradually became excited. He seemed to have found a way to deal with these undead soldiers! In the next moment, Xu You, who was panting enough, shot out from the spot again. With his experience dealing with the previous undead soldier, Xu You seemed much more confident this time. After a few flashes, he was entangled with another undead soldier. The lightning attached itself again and Xu You threw a punch. The process of dealing with these two undead soldiers was similar to before. It was almost the same. Soon, the two undead soldiers who had resisted countless invaders for a long time fell under Xu You¡¯s fist. Or rather, under the dazzling lightning on his fist. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Looking at the undead soldiers who had already turned into shattered armor on the ground, Xu You¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise and shock. To be honest, Xu You did not expect the lightning of the Thunder Pearl to have such a huge effect on these undead soldiers. Otherwise, if Xu You was slightly rash and fell into their encirclement, his outcome was definitely not much better than the other corpses in the temple. Thinking of this, Xu You¡¯s eyes were also a little relieved. Fortunately, the first treasure he had obtained was the Thunder Pearl of Thor. After calming down, Xu You walked towards the Bottle of Life in the center of the temple. His movements were not fast, and there was a sense of caution. Even if Xu You had already dealt with those undead soldiers, he still did not completely lower his guard. This was a mystic realm after all. No one could imagine how many variables there would be here. Fortunately, Xu You was not worried in the end. Soon, he approached the Bottle of Life in the center of the temple. Xu You slowly stretched out his hand and slowly held the Bottle of Life in his hand. When Xu You held the Bottle of Life, there was no strange feeling. There was only a faint life force slowly spreading. Then, Xu You did not hesitate and directly applied his blood, completing the fusion with the Bottle of Life. ¡°Bottle of Life: Before the Earth Goddess Gaia died, she returned everything to the world. Her Bottle of Life was also left in an unknown realm, waiting for the fated person to discover it¡­¡± ¡°Bottle of Life, Skill 1: Can continuously recover the host¡¯s condition in battle; Skill 2: Divine Pull: When the host is on the verge of death, he can use the Bottle of Life to save himself (Cooldown: 7 days).¡± Looking at the notification in the system space, Xu You slowly clenched the Bottle of Life in his hand. With this thing, it was almost equivalent to having a portable healer. Taking a deep breath, the corners of Xu You¡¯s mouth slowly curled up. With a thought, Xu You wanted to put the Bottle of Life into his body. The glass bottle turned into a ray of light and quickly fused into Xu You¡¯s body. The corners of his mouth curled up. After checking that there were no other treasures in the temple, Xu You quickly left and searched for the crowd again. An hour later, Xu You stopped in front of a city wall. During this process, Xu You had already encountered several groups of people. Some people were excited, not knowing what treasure they had encountered. Some people¡¯s faces were ashen, clearly having suffered a serious blow. What was worth mentioning was that the five-man team beside the sand tornado had also been encountered by Xu You. However, their team seemed to have been separated. Xu You only saw three of them. Xu You did not care about their mood. Instead, he directly asked about the situation without any politeness. Those who could enter this place were all people who took risks. Above benefits, there was no need to care about those complicated etiquettes. In the end, he told Xu You that this was the most effective way to ask for information. From those people, he learned that the huge city in front of Xu You had no end in sight. It was the main city of the Fallen City! Without any hesitation, Xu You directly entered the main city. After about half an hour, Xu You encountered Ling Lan and Old Tame Head who were fighting in an alley. Their opponent was a three-man team. The strength of those three people was clearly inferior to Ling Lan. However, Ling Lan had to divert her attention to take care of Old Tame Head and fight the three of them. Her attention was pulled, and her combat strength naturally decreased. Therefore, the three of them were on par with Ling Lan. Xu You¡¯s arrival directly broke the balance between the two sides. The three of them quickly fell into a disadvantage. After glaring at Xu You angrily, they simply left. After the three of them left, Ling Lan, whose breathing was a little chaotic, took the time to frown at Xu You. ¡°Your aura seems to have become much stronger.¡± Hearing this, Xu You nodded and did not make things too clear. ¡°Yes, I encountered some opportunities.¡± Ling Lan nodded and did not ask in detail. Before entering the Fallen City, they had made an agreement not to inquire too much about the other party¡¯s situation. Whoever found the treasure would have it. If the three of them were together, they would be assigned after leaving the mystic realm. This was not absolutely fair, but it was the relatively fair method that this temporary team could find. Old Tame Head was still in shock. He could not help but grab Xu You¡¯s hand and ramble on about the danger he and Ling Lan had encountered recently. Only then did Xu You know that the two of them were different from him. As soon as they entered the Fallen City, they were teleported to the location of the main city. In the main city, they encountered many dangers and even almost died a few times. If not for the fact that Ling Lan was powerful, it was really hard to say if Xu You could see them. ¡°During this period of time, I¡¯ve more or less understood the current situation of the Fallen City.¡± ¡°There are many experts on the Arcana Ranking here. They¡¯re all in the main city.¡± ¡°There are even people whose strength¡­ surpasses mine!¡± At this point, the expression on her face was a little serious. Her strength was not the strongest in the main city of the Fallen City, causing her to feel a sense of pressure. ¡°It¡¯s only those two. It¡¯s actually nothing.¡± Old Tame Head looked at Xu You¡¯s narrowed eyes and added at the right time. Hearing this, Xu You heaved a sigh of relief. If the main city was filled with ferocious people stronger than Ling Lan, he really needed to consider if he should leave the competition for the main city in advance. However¡­ if there were only two people stronger than Ling Lan¡­ Even with the current him, the Dragon Soul Team faced intense competition in the entire Fallen City! ¡°Right.¡± The old man suddenly thought of something, ¡°The two people we encountered outside are the two experts on the Arcana Ranking we heard when we were at the inn.¡± ¡°One is called Zhang Ling, that crazy kid. He seems to be ranked 87th on the current Arcana Ranking. As for his ability, it¡¯s quite mysterious. However, what you can know is that he¡¯s also an S-rank mutant.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also someone called Wang Qian. It¡¯s that kid who¡¯s quite impressive. He¡¯s ranked 53rd on the Arcana Ranking. His ability is a little clearer. He should possess the top-notch Immortal Bird among the S-rank treasures.¡± Hearing this, Xu You could not help but raise his eyebrows. The two people he had encountered at the sand tornado were actually S-rank mutants? This surprised him. Ling Lan also nodded at this moment, ¡°That Wang Qian is one of the people who can be confirmed to be stronger than me.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I haven¡¯t encountered the other person called Zhang Ling for the time being. I can¡¯t see through his strength, but he should be similar to me.¡± Xu You nodded and raised his eyebrows as he asked, ¡°What about the other person who¡¯s stronger than you?¡± Ling Lan¡¯s expression became serious. She took a deep breath and slowly said, ¡°Her name is Gong Yan. She¡¯s ranked 20th on the Arcana Ranking. She¡¯s¡­ an SS-rank mutant.¡± Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. He had never expected that a Fallen City would actually attract an SS-rank mutant?! ¡°This¡­ Logically speaking, an SS-rank mutant should go to a higher-level mystic realm, right?¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s said that there¡¯s a treasure that she especially values in the Fallen City.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why she came here this time.¡± Hearing this, Xu You nodded and slowly calmed down. Since she was already here, it was useless to be nervous. Presumably, the others would also feel a sense of fear toward the only SS-rank mutant in this mystic realm. At that time, he might be able to use these emotions. It was actually useless to be nervous now. At this point, Ling Lan seemed to have suddenly recalled something and suddenly spoke. ¡°Right, when I first explored the main city, I seemed to have seen someone from the Treasure Pavilion.¡± As soon as she said this, Xu You immediately frowned. The Treasure Pavilion was now pursuing him. This was something that the Dragon Soul Team knew. However, he did not expect the Treasure Pavilion to chase him all the way to the Fallen City! ¡°Who is it? What strength?¡± Xu You asked with a frown. Hearing this, Ling Lan frowned and fell into her memories. After a while, she said, ¡°He should be an A-rank mutant, but from the looks of it, he doesn¡¯t seem to be the only one. It¡¯s just that the others didn¡¯t come in with him.¡± As soon as he said this, Xu You¡¯s expression became even more serious. The efficiency of the Treasure Pavilion in this aspect was really beyond his expectations. Seeing Xu You frown, Ling Lan pondered her chin and looked up at him. ¡°Actually¡­ it¡¯s not impossible for you to escape the pursuit of the Treasure Pavilion. Although they¡¯re said to be vengeful, there are some rules that even they have to abide by.¡± Xu You was stunned before looking up and asking, ¡°What rules?¡± Ling Lan looked up and said in a calm tone, ¡°Enter the top 30 of the Arcana Ranking.¡± Xu You frowned, but Ling Lan continued, ¡°There¡¯s an unspoken rule regarding the Arcana Ranking that you don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°As long as you can enter the top 30 of the Arcana Ranking, it¡¯s equivalent to being recruited by the organization behind the ranking.¡± ¡°This way, no matter who you have a grudge with previously, the faction behind the Arcana Ranking will help you resolve it.¡± ¡°The Treasure Pavilion is not enough to make an exception to the unspoken rule of the Arcana Ranking, even if they have an SSS-rank expert.¡± Hearing this, Xu You fell into deep thought. If that was the case, he had to work hard to successfully enter the top 30 of the Arcana Ranking. At the very least, this was much easier than fighting an entire Treasure Pavilion. It did not calm his thoughts for long. As the two of them were talking, Old Tame Head took out a purple crystal the size of his fist with a treasured expression and sighed, ¡°Fortunately for us, Xu You, you came in time. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we wouldn¡¯t have been able to protect this Condensed Divine Crystal.¡± The purple crystal emitted a dazzling light in the old man¡¯s hand. For some reason, Xu You clearly felt that this Condensed Divine Crystal was irresistibly attractive to him. Seeing the change in Xu You¡¯s expression, Old Tame Head chuckled. ¡°This is a magical treasure that can refine the treasures in a mutant¡¯s body and even level them up. It¡¯s said that there was once an S-rank mutant who evolved from using enough Condensed Divine Crystals.¡± ¡°He forcefully raised the S-rank treasure in his body to the top of the SS-rank!¡± Xu You was shocked. It was actually a treasure of this level. No wonder the three of them knew that Ling Lan was an S-rank mutant but still chose to fight head-on. As a mutant, it was indeed impossible to resist this temptation. Ling Lan glanced at Xu You and said, ¡°Let¡¯s split the Condensed Divine Crystal into two. I¡¯ll split it with you.¡± Xu You raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when Ling Lan spoke again. ¡°Old Tame Head said it himself that he doesn¡¯t need these things. When the time comes, I¡¯ll let him choose other things as compensation.¡± ¡°If not for you, I might not have been able to protect this Condensed Divine Crystal. You should have had half.¡± Xu You was not a pretentious person. Seeing that Ling Lan had a serious expression, he nodded and agreed. However, the three of them naturally did not divide the items on the spot. Instead, they placed them in the small storage bag at Ling Lan¡¯s waist. The crystal flashed and fell into the small bag at Ling Lan¡¯s waist. However, after this fast crystal entered, it did not cause any changes to the storage bag. When Xu You saw this scene, he was slightly surprised. However, he had previously known that Ling Lan had prepared a small storage bag specially to store treasures for this operation, so he was not too shocked. However, after seeing this magical scene, he was inevitably surprised. ¡°Since we¡¯re all here, let¡¯s continue to explore the main city.¡± ¡°Where¡­ is our goal?¡± Ling Lan stood up and looked in the direction of the center of the main city, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. From the moment Xu You received Ling Lan¡¯s invitation, he knew that she was an extremely ambitious person. Raising his eyebrows, Xu You quickly nodded and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± The three of them quickly disappeared from this alley. ¡­ As the three of them went deeper, they began to encounter many treasures and various precious materials that could only be produced in the mystic realm. At the same time, they encountered many people. There were even some people who looked very familiar to Xu You and the other two. For example, a few people were people that Xu You¡¯s three-man team had encountered in the inn. However, these people were all in a sorry state at this moment. Some of them even had broken limbs. Their strength was already the top few among the people in the inn. From this, it could be seen that the others in that inn were either cannon fodder or could not even enter the sand tornado! The Dragon Soul Team did not have much of a reaction to this. Xu You was a special forces soldier in his previous life and was already used to seeing deaths. To be able to reach this point, Ling Lan was also a ruthless person. As for Old Tame Head, his experiences also made him not feel much about these situations. Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In short, the three of them were very calm about this. They only cared about themselves and searched for treasures and various precious materials in the main city. What was worth mentioning was that Old Tame Head¡¯s eyes lit up almost the entire time. After entering the Fallen City, he had seen too many things that he could only see in ancient books. There were even some treasures that he had never heard of! Of course, these things were still rare. The terrifying experience of Old Tame Head shocked Xu You and Ling Lan. There were a few times when the terrifying treasure guardian in the main city area almost caused an accident to happen to the Dragon Soul Team. In the end, they relied on Old Tame Head¡¯s reminder and analysis to avert the danger. Ling Lan did not say anything about this. However, the emotions that surged in her eyes clearly told Xu You that she was very satisfied with the mystic realm guide he had found. ¡°It¡¯s about time. We should hurry towards the center.¡± Ling Lan stopped and spoke. Hearing this, Xu You nodded. During this process, they could already clearly sense a mysterious force slowly emerging from the center of the main city. It was as if some precious treasure was about to appear! This was not only the feeling of the two of them but also the feeling of all the mutants in the main city. While Xu You and the other two were exploring the main city, they could clearly see that many mutants were rushing toward the center of the main city. The expressions on their faces were also a little excited. Old Tame Head shook his head at this moment and glanced southwest with a serious gaze. ¡°I just observed that the terrain nearby is a little strange. It goes from low to high in the southwest, as if it¡¯s surrounding something.¡± ¡°It feels like an altar or something.¡± ¡°Such a place usually has precious treasures. This is one of the rules of the mystic realm.¡± As he spoke, Old Tame Head squatted down and directly grabbed a little soil to taste with the tip of his tongue. Then, the expression on his face became slightly serious. ¡°Hmm¡­ If I¡¯m not wrong, a precious treasure has appeared over there. It¡¯s very likely an S-rank treasure or a mystic realm spirit treasure of the same level.¡± For example, a treasure like the Condensed Divine Crystal that could only be produced in a mystic realm was collectively called a mystic realm spirit treasure. Hearing this, Xu You and Ling Lan looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. Then, the two of them made a decision at the same time. They had to take a look at this place! Then, the three of them quickly changed direction. It was not east of the center of the main city, but southwest. The three of them rushed with all their might and arrived at a stone staircase about five minutes later. Looking up, there were about a hundred stone steps here, and the distance between each floor was extremely high, about half a meter per floor. A distant and grand aura that seemed to have attacked from ancient times immediately assaulted him. ¡°That thing should be up there.¡± Old Tame Head looked a little excited. He could clearly sense a mysterious and powerful force coming from above the stone steps. ¡°The stone steps here are very similar to the sacrificial steps built by kings in ancient kingdoms to receive the power of the Heavenly God!¡± ¡°Up there should be the altar of the Fallen City!¡± Hearing this, Xu You and Ling Lan¡¯s expressions changed slightly, but their faces were not surprised, but a little serious. ¡°There seems to be someone up there.¡± Xu You spoke. Ling Lan quickly nodded. ¡°Yes, I can hear the sounds of battle. Someone should have arrived before us.¡± The two of them were not surprised. After all, there were definitely many people who entered the Fallen City this time. Looking at each other, the three of them quickly strode towards the altar. The sounds of battle became clearer. The moment they walked up to the altar, the vision in front of them suddenly became clear. The scene of two black shadows fighting a person immediately appeared in front of the three of them. Xu You frowned and swept his gaze above the altar. Apart from these two shadows, there were dozens of corpses on the altar. Moreover¡­ they all looked like they had just died! In the center of the altar was a huge cauldron. At this moment, the two shadows and one person were continuously fighting around the cauldron. That person¡¯s outfit looked familiar to Xu You. However, Xu You could not see his face clearly and could not confirm his identity. As he thought, his gaze swept toward the two shadows. These two phantoms were both wearing ancient priest robes. Their overall style was extremely similar to the Fallen City. ¡°The treasure here is in that cauldron.¡± Old Tame Head pointed at the cauldron and his slightly excited voice interrupted Xu You¡¯s thoughts. It also made the person fighting the two phantoms notice Xu You and the other two and immediately turn around. When he saw Xu You and the other two, he was immediately a little excited and hurriedly waved over. ¡°Heh, quickly come help. We¡¯ll split the treasure equally later!¡± Xu You was stunned, not because of this person¡¯s words, but because of his familiar face. Wasn¡¯t this¡­ the Zhang Ling who he thought was not very smart but was actually an S-rank mutant?! Old Tame Head and Ling Lan clearly recognized him and their expressions immediately changed. Zhang Ling seemed to have been a little too excited and directly headed in the direction of the three of them. As a result, the two phantoms also noticed the three of them. They seemed to have emotions. After noticing the three of them, they immediately treated them as Zhang Ling¡¯s companions and launched a ferocious attack on them. Ling Lan frowned and sent the old man far away with a soft palm strike. She immediately faced one of the phantoms. At the same time, she glared at Zhang Ling. ¡°You¡¯re really skilled at diverting the trouble!¡± Ling Lan¡¯s tone was a little cold. However, Zhang Ling did not seem to understand. He smiled and thanked, ¡°Thank you, beautiful sister, and this brother.¡± Xu You glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he directly faced the battle phantom. In fact, the strength of the phantom was not too strong. Zhang Ling could easily restrain it alone. Now that Ling Lan and Xu You had joined, it was naturally not difficult to resolve it. During this process, Xu You could clearly sense that the Bottle of Life in his body was continuously providing him with strength during his battle. It was as if the energy and stamina in his body had become inexhaustible. It even made Xu You have the illusion that he could become stronger and stronger as he fought. Fifteen minutes later, the two phantoms had already died under the siege of the three of them. After the two phantoms were scattered at the same time, Zhang Ling suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s finally settled.¡± As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu You with a dense smile. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned. ¡°Sigh, something doesn¡¯t seem right. Why do you have a smell that I¡¯m very familiar with?¡± Xu You frowned with a guarded expression. Zhang Ling was a little helpless, ¡°Really, I didn¡¯t mean to get close to you.¡± He frowned as if thinking carefully and recalling for a moment. Then, he slowly said with uncertainty, ¡°Have you been to the Thunder Realm? You even encountered the guardian python there?¡± Xu You was stunned. This time, Zhang Ling¡¯s words really exceeded his expectations. He looked at Ling Lan and saw a trace of surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. Seeing their performance, Zhang Ling immediately slapped her thigh. ¡°I knew it. We¡¯re fated!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been to the Thunder Meteor Realm before. I¡¯ve also beaten up that guardian python.¡± ¡°However, at that time, I could not find the treasure there no matter what. It also stopped me from finding it, almost angering me to death.¡± As she spoke, Zhang Ling¡¯s gaze swept past Xu You with a smile. ¡°However, from the looks of it.¡± ¡°The treasure I didn¡¯t find has fallen into your hands now.¡± Hearing this, Xu You nodded indifferently, his expression unchanged. Zhang Ling chuckled and did not say anything else. Instead, he walked towards the altar. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Since we¡¯ve already dealt with the guardians here, it¡¯s naturally time to divide the treasures.¡± Xu You and the other two looked at each other with strange expressions. Logically speaking, Zhang Ling¡¯s attitude towards the three of them should not be so friendly. Even if he was afraid of the strength of the three of them, he should not give up on fighting for the treasure so easily. However, Zhang Ling did not challenge them. It was as if it was extremely normal for him to find the treasure first and share it with Xu You and the other two. Zhang Ling stopped in his tracks and the expressions of the three of them changed slightly. He turned around with a strange expression. ¡°What are you waiting for? Let¡¯s go!¡± Xu You was the first to react and walked towards Zhang Ling. The other two quickly followed. The four of them quickly arrived beside the cauldron. Apart from Old Tame Head, the three of them jumped deeply and flew into the cauldron. Inside the cauldron. A few Condensed Divine Crystals lay there quietly. Every piece was at least twice the size of the ones the three of them had found! The largest piece was even three times the size of the one he had found previously. Xu You counted. There were four Condensed Divine Crystals in the cauldron. Apart from that, there was also a nearly transparent scepter in the cauldron. The moment he saw this scepter, a notification sounded in the system space. ¡°Congratulations, host. You have discovered an A-rank treasure: Knowledge Scepter.¡± ¡°The effect of this treasure: It can greatly increase the host¡¯s brainpower, including but not limited to memory, analysis, knowledge reserve, and so on¡­¡± Xu You looked at the ability of this A-rank treasure for a while and discovered that its increase in combat strength was extremely small. However, the increase in his ability to control knowledge was simply exaggerated. The moment he read this, Xu You clearly realized. He and Ling Lan had found an extremely suitable treasure for Old Tame Head! Thinking of this, he raised his head to look at Zhang Ling and said indifferently, ¡°Now, let¡¯s discuss how to distribute it.¡± Zhang Ling was first slightly stunned, then he chuckled, ¡°Although you helped me, in fact, if you didn¡¯t come, I could have dealt with the guardians here.¡± ¡°Moreover, before you came, their combat strength had already been greatly weakened by me.¡± ¡°Therefore, I think I should take more. What do you think?¡± Xu You pondered for a moment and did not speak immediately. Beside him, Ling Lan stared at Zhang Ling for a while before saying, ¡°Is that so? What if I don¡¯t think so?¡± Zhang Ling was a little helpless when he heard this, but he scratched the space between his eyebrows and smiled, ¡°If you don¡¯t agree¡­¡± Xu You acutely felt that when Zhang Ling said this, Ling Lan¡¯s eyes immediately narrowed, and a powerful aura suddenly arose from his body. The tense atmosphere filled the huge cauldron. ¡°Then let¡¯s discuss it again.¡± Zhang Ling suddenly spoke with a brilliant smile. His answer stunned Ling Lan and she was speechless for a long time. Xu You was stunned. Clearly, he did not expect Zhang Ling to answer like this. Zhang Ling sighed helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m not stupid. If the two of you fight me together, I really don¡¯t have any chance of winning.¡± ¡°Consider it my loss this time. We can discuss it again. What do you think?¡± When Xu You heard this, his mood did not relax because of Zhang Ling¡¯s answer. Zhang Ling¡¯s words meant that his decisiveness and choice of things far exceeded the ordinary. This was a terrifying person. As he thought, just as Xu You was about to pull Ling Lan to the side, he recalled Zhang Ling¡¯s strange reaction after he muttered in his mind that he was a fool in front of the sand tornado. With a thought, Xu You made a guess. Then. A thought flashed through his mind: This kid is really a fool. While thinking about this, Xu You suddenly looked up at Zhang Ling. Then, he saw a helpless smile flash through Zhang Ling¡¯s eyes. ¡°You can tell?¡± Zhang Ling looked at Xu You and asked helplessly. Hearing this, Xu You¡¯s pupils immediately constricted. Their conversation surprised Ling Lan. Clearly, she did not understand the riddle-like conversation between the two of them. Xu You did not hide anything and said directly, ¡°One of his treasure abilities should be mind reading.¡± As soon as he said this, Ling Lan¡¯s pupils immediately constricted. She suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling immediately raised her hand in surrender. ¡°Hey, hey, don¡¯t even think about that. I don¡¯t have the intention to take the initiative to pry into your thoughts.¡± ¡°Moreover, this thing consumes a lot of my mental strength. I usually don¡¯t dare to use it casually.¡± When Xu You and Ling Lan heard this, they clearly did not plan to believe his nonsense. Thinking of this, Xu You directly said frankly, ¡°There are four Condensed Divine Crystals. You take the second and third largest. The other three things will belong to the three of us. How about it?¡± Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Ling looked at the Knowledge Scepter. ¡°I don¡¯t think I can give up on this so easily, right?¡± Xu You forced himself not to think about anything, especially the existence of the system. However, at the same time, a notification sounded from the system space, ¡°This system can¡¯t be spied on, nor can it be known by means like reading the host¡¯s mind.¡± Hearing this, Xu You¡¯s expression immediately relaxed and he turned to look at Zhang Ling. ¡°This treasure is useless to you.¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Xu You and Zhang Ling immediately looked at each other. Neither of them spoke, and a serious atmosphere slowly brewed. In the end, Zhang Ling was the first to laugh and say, ¡°Alright, I can give up on this treasure. However, I want to exchange the second largest Condensed Divine Crystal for the largest.¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan immediately frowned and was about to say something. However, Xu You took a step forward and stretched out his hand to stop her. After giving Ling Lan a look, Xu You said indifferently, ¡°Sure.¡± Ling Lan looked a little dissatisfied and even had the urge to curse, but out of trust in Xu You, she finally gave up on continuing to speak and fell silent. Zhang Ling immediately smiled. ¡°Then, we¡¯ve reached an agreement.¡± ¡­ After walking out of the cauldron, Xu You directly handed the Knowledge Scepter to the old man. After seeing this knowledge scepter, Old Tame Head recognized it without Xu You¡¯s introduction. He immediately became a little excited. He was not too interested in wealth and combat strength and only liked to study various mystic realms and treasures. To him, the Knowledge Scepter, which could increase his brainpower, was simply a divine artifact! After excitedly accepting it and completing the recognition process, Old Tame Head was immediately overjoyed. It was only at this moment that he was in the mood to introduce the use of this Knowledge Scepter to the unhappy Ling Lan. After hearing Old Tame Head¡¯s explanation, Ling Lan¡¯s expression eased. If it was a treasure of this level, it did not seem unacceptable to exchange for it with a Condensed Divine Crystal. At the side, Zhang Ling happily put away the Condensed Divine Crystal. This thing was not something that could be found in ordinary mystic realms. Under normal circumstances, only after reaching an S-rank mystic realm could there be a Condensed Divine Crystal. Moreover, even in an S-rank mystic realm, the production of such a thing was extremely rare. This time, he had actually found two Condensed Divine Crystals in an A-rank mystic realm. How could he not be happy? Looking up, just as Zhang Ling was about to say something, an extremely huge aura suddenly exploded in the east! Bang! A towering energy pillar suddenly rose from the center of the main city in the east. An extremely majestic aura immediately filled the entire main city! This scene immediately shocked the four people present. Looking at each other, the expressions on their faces became a little excited and shocked. They all realized. The ultimate treasure in the Fallen City¡­ appeared at this moment! Xu You and the other two were just about to move when Zhang Ling reached out and stopped them. ¡°The forces in the Fallen City are chaotic and very mixed. Now that the treasure has appeared, it will definitely attract everyone.¡± ¡°In such a chaotic flow, even with our strength, it¡¯s very difficult to say if we can definitely obtain any advantage.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we cooperate temporarily? What do you think?¡± Hearing this, Xu You raised his eyebrows slightly. He exchanged glances with Ling Lan and immediately made a decision. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡­ In the center of the main city of the Fallen City. In the royal palace. A huge energy pillar rushed up from the palace. The majestic energy aura was extremely dazzling. When Xu You and the other three arrived outside the palace, they also saw the others who were also attracted by the energy pillar. However, there were much fewer people who could reach this place than Xu You had imagined. In Xu You¡¯s plan, there should be more than a hundred people who could walk here. However, in fact, only 40 people arrived. Although there were still some people rushing over, the total number should not exceed 50. Everyone in the venue occupied an area in front of the pillar of light outside the palace according to their sphere of influence. However, there were very few figures standing alone. Basically, they were all like Xu You and the other three. They each formed a team that guaranteed enough combat strength. Only the two of them were different. One was Wang Qian, whom the Dragon Soul Team knew. He was still extremely calm and indifferent in front of the sand tornado. He was extremely close to the pillar of light. He stood alone with his hands behind his back, his fluttering white clothes fluttering in the wind. Apart from that, there was also a woman in tight clothes. This woman was tall and had extremely heroic facial features. Xu You could see her side profile with a cold and serious expression. She did not seem interested in anything other than the pillar of light in front of her. ¡°She¡¯s that SS-rank mutant, Gong Yan.¡± From the side, Old Tame Head¡¯s voice sounded. Xu You nodded. In fact, when he saw her standing there alone and closest to the pillar of light, he already knew that person¡¯s identity. The closer he was to the pillar of light, the greater the pressure he could feel. The fact that she could stand closer than Wang Qian was enough to prove her identity. Apart from paying attention to the pillar of light, Zhang Ling and Ling Lan also looked at Wang Qian and Gong Yan with interest. It was not only them. While waiting for the pillar of light, the others in the venue were also observing the two of them. Everyone maintained the same tacit understanding. They all thought that the two of them would be the greatest threat to their treasure snatching! As time passed, the pillar of light was also weakening at a visible speed. During this process, the gazes of everyone in the venue became even hotter. Then, when the light pillar was so weak that people could see the scene in the palace, Gong Yan, who was at the front of the crowd, flashed in! This scene made everyone subconsciously cry out in surprise. Even though the power of the pillar of light had decreased greatly, they could still sense the powerful power. That power was enough to pose a threat to an S-rank mutant! However, Gong Yan actually ignored it and simply entered. Wang Qian frowned slightly. Clearly, even he did not expect Gong Yan¡¯s actions to be so straightforward. Looking at the pillar of light in front of him, he shook his head and still did not enter. Instead, he waited for about a minute. After the power of the pillar of light weakened a little more, he simply stepped in. Zhang Ling glanced at Wang Qian¡¯s back and said, ¡°How is it? It¡¯s about time, right?¡± He was asking Xu You and Ling Lan. Hearing this, the two of them were just about to nod when Old Tame Head frowned and spoke. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with this palace.¡± Hearing this, the three of them stopped in their tracks at the same time. Xu You asked in confusion, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Old Tame Head stared at the pillar of light in front of him and the palace inside. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°It¡¯s impossible for ordinary treasures to have such power when they appear. This terrifying energy is at least the power of a top-notch SS-rank treasure.¡± ¡°A treasure of this level shouldn¡¯t only appear in an A-rank mystic realm.¡± ¡°Moreover¡­ this aura is a little strange with the structure of this palace.¡± The expressions of the three of them changed slightly. After reacting, Xu You asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this palace?¡± Old Tame Head shook his head. ¡°I can¡¯t be sure for the time being, but I¡¯m almost certain that there¡¯s something wrong with this palace. Too many things go against common sense.¡± The three of them looked at each other. Ling Lan was the first to speak, ¡°It can¡¯t end here. We¡¯ve already come this far. There¡¯s no possibility of turning back.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go in. We¡¯ll consider how to resolve the problem after we really encounter it.¡± Xu You thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°Agreed,¡± Zhang Ling said. Hearing this, even if Old Tame Head was still a little uneasy, he could only agree with Ling Lan¡¯s thoughts. Looking at the palace in front of him, Old Tame Head had a serious expression. Then, the four of them quickly walked into the palace. After the four of them walked in, the others quickly followed. After walking into the palace, the originally illusory scene instantly became clear and real. The palace was filled with treasures. After walking in, notifications continuously sounded in Xu You¡¯s system space. ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an A-rank treasure: the Long Swamp Sword.¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an A-rank treasure: Eternal Spear.¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an A-rank treasure:¡­¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host¡­¡± Xu You glanced at it. There were at least 20 treasures at the entrance of the palace, and they were all A-rank treasures. Without exception. Apart from that, there were also many good treasures. When the people who entered later saw this scene, they were naturally overjoyed and began to snatch it. However, Xu You and the others were not too interested in this. After Gong Yan and Wang Qian entered the palace, they had already walked into it and ignored the things at the periphery. Clearly, there was something better in the palace! Thinking of this, the four of them exchanged glances and quickly walked in. They walked into the inner hall of the palace. The four of them also saw Gong Yan and Wang Qian. At this moment, the two of them were standing under the throne and looking at a longsword shining with golden light. Xu You frowned. In the inner hall of the palace, other than the longsword on the throne, there were also five balls of light. Through the ball of light, one could vaguely see that there were all kinds of treasures. The system notification sounded again. ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an S-rank treasure: Bright Spear.¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an S-rank treasure: Sacrificial Divine Sword.¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an S-rank treasure:¡­¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an S-rank treasure:¡­¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an S-rank treasure:¡­¡± The notifications of five S-rank treasures came from the system space. In Xu You¡¯s opinion, this was simply terrifying. One had to know that it was usually not easy to have two S-rank secret treasures appear at the same time in an A-rank mystic realm. However, if it included the Bottle of Life he had found previously, there were already six S-rank treasures in the A-rank mystic realm of the Fallen City! Moreover¡­ this did not seem to be its limit. Thinking of this, Xu You raised his head and his gaze slowly locked onto the golden sword on the throne. ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an SS-rank treasure: Sword of Judgment.¡± ¡°Sword of Judgment: Legend has it that this is the treasure of the Fallen Queen. With this sword in hand, it can allow the Fallen Queen to judge everything in the world, including gods.¡± Xu You¡¯s pupils narrowed slightly. He had never expected that an SS-rank treasure would really appear in an A-rank mystic realm!! Everyone present seemed to understand. What was the concept of the longsword on the throne? At this moment, footsteps sounded from behind Xu You and the others. Then, the large group that was behind them finally rushed to the inner hall of the palace. After seeing the sword on the throne, exclamations and commotion immediately sounded from the crowd. Even if they could not recognize what this was, they could recognize it from the aura coming from the sword. This was a very powerful treasure! That force fascinated them. They even felt that as long as they could hold that sword in their hands, they could sweep through all enemies in the world! This feeling was definitely not something an S-rank treasure could bring them. Under this huge temptation, someone was the first to lose his mind, his voice filled with greed. ¡°If you don¡¯t attack, I¡¯ll take this sword!¡± As he spoke, this A-rank mutant crazily rushed towards the Sword of Judgment on the throne. Seeing his actions, the others followed suit, roaring. ¡°That sword is mine! Don¡¯t even think about it!!¡± ¡°Hmph! First come, first served. This sword is mine!¡± Everyone shouted as they rushed towards the longsword. No one even cared about the five S-rank treasures in the venue. Many people had lost their minds after seeing the SS-rank treasure in front of them. However¡­ there were still people who maintained their rationality. Some people originally wanted to move with the main group. However, when they saw that the six people led by Gong Yan did not move after entering the inner hall of the palace, their expressions changed slightly, and they rationally gave up on the intention to pounce on the Sword of Judgment. Xu You¡¯s expression was a little serious. He looked at the Sword of Judgment floating on the throne and his eyes changed. Then, just as Xu You narrowed his eyes and prepared to communicate with the others, beside him, Old Tame Head suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with extreme fear. He cried out in surprise! ¡°Living array!¡± As soon as Old Tame Head said this, other than everyone who rushed towards the Sword of Judgment, everyone, including Wang Qian and Gong Yan, turned to look at him. Xu You frowned slightly and asked, ¡°Old Tame Head, what¡¯s going on?¡± At this moment, Old Tame Head¡¯s expression was extremely frightened. His lips were continuously trembling, and his hands were also continuously trembling slightly. Hearing Xu You¡¯s question, he silently swallowed before slowly speaking in an extremely terrified tone. ¡°When I was young, I once read a tattered book.¡± ¡°In that book, it once recorded an extremely terrifying mystic realm. That mystic realm will disguise itself.¡± ¡°For example, an A-rank mystic realm in disguise might very well be an S-rank mystic realm. The treasures and guardians inside are naturally very different from ordinary A-rank mystic realms.¡± Chapter 20 - The Terrifying Truth Chapter 20 The Terrifying Truth At this point, the expressions of everyone present were still puzzled. However, Old Tame Head¡¯s subsequent words caused everyone¡¯s expressions to change drastically. Even Gong Yan and Wang Qian¡¯s expressions changed slightly. ¡°However, the most terrifying thing is not this. The reason why such a mystic realm is called a living array is that it is meant to revive a terrifying existence.¡± ¡°Once that terrifying existence is revived, the mystic realm where the living array is located will become at least an SSS-rank mystic realm, with no exception!¡± ¡°Because¡­ that existence who is revived will at least be SSS-rank!¡± He took a deep breath and finally calmed down. However, the fear in his eyes was even stronger than before! ¡°I¡¯ve seen this palace in that ancient book before.¡± ¡°This is not a palace at all! It¡¯s the most typical living array!¡± ¡°The altar we saw in the main city previously is the altar where the owner of the mystic realm will trigger the divine power of the world to revive himself!!!¡± As soon as Old Tame Head finished speaking, those people rushed to the throne. Then, the sword suddenly seemed to have a mind of its own and soared into the air. It began to harvest the heads that rushed in front of it! Blood splattered and heads flew. In an instant, these people who rushed to the throne were beheaded by the flying sword. After taking these heads, the light on the Sword of Judgment became even more dazzling, and a blood light flowed along the blade. As for the Sword of Judgment, it did not take any further action. It was like a person who had eaten his fill and swayed back to the throne. Then, it slowly arrived on the left of the throne and slowly floated. The sword leaned forward slightly. Xu You frowned slightly when he saw this scene. The feeling this sword gave him now was as if someone was sitting on the throne and holding it! Gong Yan stood at the front of the crowd and silently looked at the sword and throne in front of her. She had entered the Fallen City this time for this Sword of Judgment. However¡­ Gong Yan glanced at the frightened Old Tame Head and her expression changed slightly. It seemed that there were some unexpected changes. The actual situation in the mystic realm was different from the information she had received. This sword was not a top-notch S-rank treasure, but a true SS-rank treasure! As for the mystic realm¡­ it did not seem to be as simple as it looked. Thinking of this, Gong Yan suddenly heard cries of surprise from the crowd behind her. Then, the crowd quickly became restless. Frowning, Gong Yan subconsciously looked up. Then, even someone like her who was used to danger could not help but narrow her eyes. A thin phantom slowly appeared on the throne. The hand was holding the Sword of Judgment. Gong Yan was instantly certain that the phantom was neither an afterimage nor a remnant soul. If one had to describe it accurately, it was more like a¡­ person who was waking up¡­ and trying to return to a familiar place! Gong Yan could sense a powerful and condensed aura rising continuously from its body! ¡°Damn!! What¡¯s this? Why did it suddenly appear?!¡± ¡°Oh my god, could this really be a secret resurrection array like that old man said?!¡± ¡°Impossible, right? If this is true, is this person really an SSS-rank mutant? No, is he human?!¡± Everyone cried out in fear, but Xu You, who was standing in the crowd, slowly frowned. He felt a familiar aura from the phantom on the throne. Did it seem to be¡­ a little similar to the Bottle of Life? Xu You was not too sure, but he had this feeling. Then, a notification sounded in the system space. ¡°Warning: The Fallen City is awakening. Rank evaluation: A¡­ S-rank¡­ SS-rank¡­ SSS-rank!¡± ¡°Fallen City: SSS-rank mystic realm (awakening).¡± ¡°Warning: The owner of the Fallen City, the Fallen Queen, is currently awakening. Her strength will become stronger as she continuously awakens. I hope the host can escape from this place as soon as possible.¡± After sending these notifications, the system fell silent. Xu You frowned and walked to the old leader¡¯s side. ¡°Old Tame Head, since you know that this is a living array, you should know how to get out of here, right?¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head recovered from his fear and nodded repeatedly, ¡°When I was sent in, I was still curious why this place did not have an exit like ordinary mystic realms.¡± ¡°But I understand now¡­¡± ¡°Ordinary living arrays have array cores. As long as we shatter the array core, we can break through the living array and leave it. The array core in this living array¡­ is that throne!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in the venue who were originally listening to Old Tame Head immediately became serious. The best way out, or even the only way, was to shatter that throne?! Wasn¡¯t this¡­ equivalent to a dead end? Everyone¡¯s expressions were a little serious. However, Gong Yan turned around at this moment and stared at Old Tame Head. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Old Tame Head was stunned at first, then he nodded repeatedly. ¡°I can confirm it!¡± As soon as he said this, Gong Yan¡¯s expression did not change. Then, she took a deep breath and glanced at the phantom on the throne that was continuously strengthening. Gong Yan slowly spoke. ¡°You should have guessed it, right? The person on this throne is the former Fallen Queen.¡± ¡°In the legends, the Fallen Queen is an existence that can slay gods!¡± ¡°If she¡¯s really revived by the living array, everyone here will die!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately fell into commotion and fear. No one expected that even the SS-rank Gong Yan would be so pessimistic. However, at this moment, Gong Yan did not have the time to think about others¡¯ reactions. She only knew that she had either entered the Fallen City this time due to bad luck or that someone was deliberately tricking her! ¡°Therefore, we have to take the initiative to attack now!¡± ¡°Break the throne before she regains consciousness!¡± As soon as she said this, everyone¡¯s expressions became hesitant. However, since they could reach this place, they were naturally not stupid. They knew that this was the only way out. Then, someone quickly nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s attack together and shatter that damned throne!¡± Someone spoke, and someone echoed. ¡°Attack together and shatter the throne!¡± ¡°Attack together!!¡± Chapter 21 - Approach Chapter 21 Approach Xu You stood in the crowd and looked at the throne in front of him. Then, just as everyone was about to attack, the phantom on the throne suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction. Then, a small crystal suddenly flew out of Ling Lan¡¯s storage bag. It was not only her. Crystals began to fly out of the pockets of others. Xu You¡¯s pupils constricted. These were all Charming Heart Crystals. At the same time, they were also pieces of the Fallen Queen¡¯s crown!! After these Charming Heart Crystals flew to the phantom, they quickly formed a crown and directly landed on top of the phantom¡¯s head. Everyone clearly saw that after the crown was put on, the figure of the phantom immediately condensed! Her aura also rose in an instant! It made everyone feel an extremely powerful pressure and killing intent. Even Gong Yan had a serious expression, let alone others. ¡°Hurry up and attack! Otherwise, it¡¯ll be too late!¡± Someone roared. Then, everyone in the venue attacked the throne in front of them. Those who were still alive were at least A-rank existences so the attacks were naturally extremely powerful. Xu You also mixed in the crowd and rushed towards the throne. However¡­ just as he entered the range of the throne, that sword suddenly trembled. Then, everyone present saw it extremely clearly. The phantom on the throne instantly solidified. If it was said that she was still an indistinct phantom just now, then, the current her was like a true queen who had finally arrived in front of everyone after traveling for countless years! The crown on her head flickered with a sharp and dazzling light. Her gaze was a little indifferent as she looked at the people under the throne as if she was looking at some ants. Even Gong Yan, who was an SS-rank mutant, did not seem to be taken seriously. In the next moment, she moved. The Sword of Judgment in her hand was gently waved, but what followed was a sharp sword qi that was enough to destroy everything. Xu You raised his eyebrows. He could clearly sense the destructiveness of this sword qi. However¡­.. what surprised Xu You was that this strike was not as terrifying and powerful as he had imagined. At the same time, a notification sounded from the system space, ¡°Fallen Queen (Recovering): Current strength is SS-rank. Host, please deal with it carefully.¡± Xu You understood now. The current Fallen Queen was still an SS-rank existence, so this strike was not as powerful as he had imagined. However, as time passed, her strength would become stronger and stronger. Xu You¡¯s thoughts stretched here, and the slowly approaching sword qi swept past his eyes. This sword qi looked very slow, but its aura was extremely powerful with terrifying killing intent. In order to attack the throne, Xu You had already rushed to the front of the crowd. He had no room to dodge so he summoned the Bottle of Life and simply struck it. Whoosh! The strike of the Fallen Queen looked casual. Xu You¡¯s block was unexpectedly blocked. When Gong Yan, who was about to attack, saw this scene, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. Wang Qian raised his eyebrows and his gaze landed on the Bottle of Life in Xu¡¯s right hand. Exclamations sounded from the crowd. No one expected that Xu You, who did not look very eye-catching, could actually block the attack of the Fallen Queen! Seeing Xu You retract the Bottle of Life, the crowd did not have the time to be surprised and hurriedly began to attack the throne again. Everyone could clearly sense that as time passed, the aura of the Fallen Queen was continuously rising! That powerful aura even made Gong Yan feel like it was a threat. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Ling Lan asked. Hearing this, Xu You shook his head. He did not feel any discomfort after blocking the attack of the Fallen Queen. However¡­ Xu You slowly raised his head. The Fallen Queen on the throne had a veil on her face, preventing others from seeing her true appearance. However, those eyes were silently looking in Xu You¡¯s direction. To be precise, it was the Bottle of Life in Xu¡¯s right hand! ¡°Wang Qian! Zhang Ling! Foxy! Come and deal with the Fallen Queen with me!¡± ¡°The others, attack the throne with all your might!¡± Gong Yan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded with a convincing aura. Hearing the term Foxy, Ling Lan frowned in displeasure and glared at Gong Yan. However, she did not say anything and directly followed. At this moment, the Fallen Queen had already stood up from the throne. Xu You clearly felt that she was preparing to walk in his direction. However, she was quickly stopped by Gong Yan and the other three. Xu You heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the Fallen Queen seemed to be staring at him, or rather, at the Bottle of Life in his hand. Without any hesitation, Xu You rushed towards the throne and threw a punch. Bang! The throne clearly shook. At the same time, a notification sounded in the system space. ¡°This attack has successfully decreased the durability of the array core by 0.2%. The current durability of the array core is 91%.¡± Xu You was stunned. He did not expect that the system would actually show him a health bar when attacking this throne. Thinking of this, Xu You¡¯s expression was slightly excited, and then his actions quickened. When the others saw him like this, they subconsciously quickened their actions. Then, a strange scene appeared. A group of people was continuously slashing around the throne, and the other four were surrounding an ancient figure waving a sword. As time passed, when the durability of the throne was reduced to 50%, Zhang Ling was already complaining. ¡°Are you done?! This queen is too powerful. I can¡¯t hold on anymore!¡± Zhang Ling was shouting at the people surrounding the throne. His voice was also filled with anxiety. Although the other three did not speak, the expressions on their faces were also not good. As time passed, the strength of the Fallen Queen had already become stronger. Gong Yan could even clearly sense that the aura of the Fallen Queen had already reached the critical point of SS-rank. She could break through to SSS-rank at any time!!! ¡°Half! Hold on a little longer!¡± Xu You shouted and accelerated his actions again. Hearing this, Zhang Ling cursed. The expressions of the others were also a little ugly. However, they had no choice but to continue speeding up their actions. When the durability of the throne reached 23%, one of the four people surrounding the Fallen Queen finally could not hold on anymore. However, to their surprise, the person who could not hold on was not Zhang Ling who had been complaining earlier, but Ling Lan. Chapter 22 - Targeted Chapter 22 Targeted The violent strike of the Fallen Queen suddenly slashed at Ling Lan without any warning. Even if Ling Lan forcefully defended herself, she could not successfully resist. She was not good at defense to begin with. Her superpower attribute made her weaker at frontal attacks and defense. ¡°Pfft!¡± Ling Lan spat out a mouthful of blood and left the battlefield in a sorry state. It could not be helped. If she did not leave now, she would probably die here. Gong Yan frowned, but she did not say anything. Instead, she frowned and said, ¡°Continue fighting!¡± The three of them changed formations. Then, the moment the durability of the throne became 10%. The aura of the Fallen Queen suddenly erupted! The powerful aura suddenly forced Gong Yan and the other two back at the same time, and they immediately became extremely miserable. Gong Yan¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and Zhang Ling and Wang Qian¡¯s expressions were also ugly. The Fallen Queen¡­ had advanced! The moment she officially reached SSS-rank, notifications sounded from Xu You¡¯s system space. The entire Fallen City seemed to have instantly woken up. It was as if a war song had sounded from ancient times in the capital. A loud sound continuously sounded from all directions. It was mixed with cries and battle roars as if countless ancient warriors were letting out their loyal voices to their queen. The entire Fallen City began to change at an extremely exaggerated speed. The old city wall was no longer there, and a new aura spread. The mottled stone steps seemed to have been reborn. The armor and weapons that were scattered in the capital began to slowly rise from the ground. Then, they began to assemble themselves and floated in midair, as if someone was wearing them. Phantoms began to appear from the underground of the capital. Then, the armor and weapons floated toward them. In the inner hall of the palace. Although Xu You and the others could not see the change in the royal city, they could sense it. This huge capital was beginning to recover at an extremely terrifying speed! Yes, this Fallen City. It had awakened! Xu You gritted his teeth and accelerated his fist which had almost reached its limit. At the same time, he was also paying close attention to the battlefield of the Fallen Queen not far away. Terrifying flames rose from Gong Yan¡¯s body. Every time she attacked, she would raise a high temperature that burned everything. This made her look like a queen who controlled flames, noble and holy. Wang Qian¡¯s actions were extremely elegant, but his superpower was the opposite of Gong Yan¡¯s ice attribute superpower. He continuously used his ice crystals to freeze the joints of the Fallen Queen. Ice crystals flickered, also extremely gorgeous. As for Zhang Ling, his method looked a little simple, but every punch gave Xu You the feeling of a landslide. The combined attack of an SS-rank mutant and two S-rank mutants looked extremely powerful. However, all of this seemed to be insufficient in front of the Fallen Queen. In the next second, the Fallen Queen, who had officially become an SSS-rank terrifying existence, suddenly waved the longsword in her hand! In an instant, a terrifying aura crushed over like a tide. Even though Xu You was not in the core attack range, he still felt an extremely powerful suffocating feeling. Not to mention the three mutants who faced the attack of the Fallen Queen. The three of them acted as if they were facing a great enemy and assumed their strongest defensive posture to block this attack. However¡­ Under the strike of the Fallen Queen, they were actually sent flying in an almost destructive manner. Bang! Bang! Zhang Ling and Wang Qian only stopped after colliding with the stone pillar in the inner hall. Gong Yan was slightly better, but her face was also a little pale. Her expression was serious. As an SS-rank mutant, it had been a long time since she had encountered such a desperate situation! The SSS-rank Fallen Queen could be said to be terrifying in all aspects. Taking a deep breath, Gong Yan¡¯s expression softened. Then, she stood up and was about to continue facing the enemy when she saw a scene that stunned her. After the Fallen Queen sent them retreating with a strike, she actually did not choose to pursue. Instead, she turned around¡­ and walked towards the throne? This scene caused exclamations and panic to sound in the venue. Gong Yan and the other two could not stop the Fallen Queen even if they joined forces. This was enough to show how powerful she was. Under such circumstances, how could they not panic when they saw the Fallen Queen rushing toward them? Xu You¡¯s pupils constricted. The others felt that the Fallen Queen was coming for the throne. However, he knew very well that the Fallen Queen¡­ was actually coming for him! Gritting his teeth, Xu You flashed towards the door of the inner hall. As expected, the next moment, the Fallen Queen changed direction. Then, she instantly flashed in front of Xu You! This scene shocked everyone present. Gong Yan looked at Xu You with a faint gaze. Wang Qian and Zhang Ling were a little surprised, but they did not say anything. The others in the venue were first stunned, then the way they looked at Xu You became a little strange. Ling Lan was supported by Old Tame Head. When she saw this scene, her expression became a little heavy. She could not understand what this scene meant. However, no matter how puzzled she was, she should know one thing. Xu You had been targeted by the Fallen Queen! ¡°Continue to bombard the throne!¡± Gong Yan suddenly spoke. The stunned crowd quickly reacted and attacked the already dilapidated throne. As for the Fallen Queen, she seemed to be uninterested in the fact that her throne was about to be shattered. She only stared at the bottle in Xu You¡¯s hand. Xu You did not dare to move. He had already seen the extremely terrifying speed of the Fallen Queen. He knew very well that as long as he dared to run, the Fallen Queen could catch up to him in an instant. Therefore, it was useless to run. ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu You tried to communicate. He was no longer in the mood to care about the continuous notifications in the system space. When he looked at the Fallen Queen, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart. That was an instinctive reaction of a person after their life was threatened. The Fallen Queen did not react and only continued to look at the Bottle of Life in Xu You¡¯s hand. Looking at it up close, Xu You felt that although the Fallen Queen had been revived after countless years, her skin seemed to be quite good. White, smooth, and exquisite. Moreover, her phoenix eyes which were not covered by the veil also gave people a soul-stirring beauty. Xu You was stunned and could not help but curse himself. At a time like this, he was still in the mood to think about this?! Then, just as Xu You was about to drive his stiff legs to take two steps¡­ Chapter 23 - The Passage Appears Chapter 23 The Passage Appears He suddenly saw the Fallen Queen raise her head and turn her gaze from the Bottle of Life to his face. Then, for the first time, Xu You saw it. A trace of emotion appeared in the beautiful phoenix eyes of the Fallen Queen. This emotion was extremely faint, but Xu You could clearly see it. It was doubt. Before Xu You could think about what this doubt meant, under the siege of everyone, the throne shattered! Bang! The moment the throne shattered, a dazzling vortex appeared in the air of the inner hall. When Old Tame Head saw this scene, he shouted in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s the exit passageway!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately rushed into the passageway. It was not easy for them to see the hope of su val, so they naturally had to cherish it. This was because they had already seen countless armored and weapon-wielding¡­ undead soldiers outside the palace! In a moment, most of the people in the inner hall had left. Their relieved voices could be vaguely heard from the passageway. The Fallen Queen did not react to the scene behind her. She did not seem to care if others would escape from her domain. She only looked at Xu You without any emotion in her eyes. Xu You felt his hair stand on end. At this moment, only the four of them who had fought the Fallen Queen and Old Tame Head were left in the inner hall. There was also Xu You, who was watched by the Fallen Queen and did not dare to move at all. Wang Qian glanced at Xu You, and his expression did not change much. Then, he jumped up and stretched out an S-rank treasure in the inner hall into his arms. Ever since the appearance of the Fallen Queen, too many accidents and changes had happened in the inner hall. Everyone¡¯s attention was elsewhere. No one paid attention to the five S-rank treasures in midair. After investigating the S-rank treasure in his hand, Wang Qian originally wanted to take another. However, he glanced at the back of the Fallen Queen and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes. Then, Wang Qian tightened the S-rank treasure in his hand. Then, he simply gave up on continuing to fight for the treasure and jumped into the passageway. This scene reminded the others. Ling Lan and Zhang Ling each took an S-rank treasure. Old Tame Head was a little nervous, and he did not dare to reach out. Gong Yan glanced at the two balls of light in midair. Narrowing her eyes slightly, she reached out and plucked a ball, holding it tightly in her hand. ¡°Brothers, I¡¯ll take my leave first. Brother Xu, good luck.¡± After this, Zhang Ling simply jumped into the passageway. When Old Tame Head and Old Tame Head saw this scene, their expressions were a little heavy. Walking to the side of the passageway with Old Tame Head, Ling Lan was a little hesitant. ¡°Xu You has been held back by the Fallen Queen. I¡¯m still injured, so it¡¯s very difficult to save him from her.¡± Ling Lan¡¯s voice was a little helpless. When Old Tame Head heard this, his expression was a little conflicted. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Looking at the extremely powerful back of the Fallen Queen and the undead soldiers who continuously rushed over from outside the palace, there was only despair in their hearts. The two of them could not find any way to resolve the current situation. Taking a deep breath, Ling Lan made a decision. Next, she would unleash a full-strength strike at the Fallen Queen. This was also the only chance she could create for Xu You. At this moment, Xu You was smiling at the Fallen Queen while looking for a way to survive. The exit passageway was not far from him. If he could make the Fallen Queen remain motionless for a few seconds, he had the possibility of escaping. The paralysis attribute of the Thunder Pearl¡­ was the only way he could think of. Thinking of this, Xu You looked at Ling Lan not far away. The moment their eyes met, Xu You instantly understood what Ling Lan meant. He took a deep breath and was about to say something. Not far away, Gong Yan suddenly moved without any warning! In an instant, she appeared behind the Fallen Queen. With a strike, the hot flames instantly attacked the right hand of the Fallen Queen. Gong Yan stared at the Sword of Judgment with desire flashing through her eyes. This woman had yet to give up on her goal! Sword of Judgment! Xu You was shocked by her actions. After reacting, he hurriedly dodged. The Fallen Queen¡¯s thoughts were also interrupted by Gong Yan¡¯s sudden actions. However, her hand was still tightly gripping the Sword of Judgment. Gong Yan¡¯s full-strength strike did not cause any damage to her! This made Gong Yan¡¯s pupils involuntarily constrict. She knew that her operation had failed! Xu You flashed and suddenly rushed into the passageway. His speed was too fast, causing him to almost be unable to see anything along the way. He felt that there seemed to be a ball of light in front of him. After subconsciously taking it into his hand, Xu You flew to the passageway and pushed Old Tame Head and Ling Lan in. A notification sounded in the system space, but Xu You pretended not to hear it. He suddenly turned around and saw that the Fallen Queen had already flashed to Gong Yan who wanted to retreat. Gong Yan¡¯s actions just now were indeed only to snatch the Sword of Judgment. However, it was true that she had given Xu You room to escape. Thinking of this, Xu You suddenly used the Bottle of Life, and extremely powerful lightning flowed out. Slash! Powerful lightning illuminated the entire inner hall and surged in the direction of the Fallen Queen in an almost crazy manner. The strength of this strike surprised Gong Yan. This was also the first time Xu You had fused the power of the Thunder Pearl and the Bottle of Life. This lightning locked onto the Fallen Queen, immediately stopping her footsteps. Gong Yan was shocked. She looked at Xu You gratefully and quickly rushed into the passageway. At this moment, Xu You had already stepped into the passageway. Looking back, he saw Gong Yan quickly approaching the passageway. The Fallen Queen behind her waved the longsword in her hand with a cold expression again. The sword light of judgment swung out and struck Gong Yan¡¯s back. While causing Gong Yan to be heavily injured, it also reduced the distance between her and the passageway. Finally, she stepped into the passageway. Xu You¡¯s last glance back in the passageway was when he saw the Fallen Queen staring in his direction in a slightly persistent manner. He could not understand the emotions in his eyes. Gong Yan, who was the last to enter the passageway, looked a little relieved. However, for some reason, an inexplicable aura seemed to have followed her into the passageway. Moreover, that aura¡­ did not seem to be coming for her. Chapter 24 - Escape Chapter 24 Escape The world spun. This was Xu You¡¯s deepest feeling at this moment. Bang! His body landed on the ground, and the surrounding sand quickly surged in his direction. Xu You hurriedly stood up to avoid the tragedy of being buried by the sand. Looking over, this seemed to be still in the desert. However, it was no longer the location of the sand tornado, nor was it near the inn. Xu You frowned. Just as he was about to do something, he saw the sand pit not far away moving. He hurriedly walked over and saw an old arm waving wildly outside the sand pit. Xu You dug open the sand pit. It was indeed Old Tame Head! After spitting out a few mouthfuls of sand, he saw that it was Xu You and hurriedly said, ¡°This kind of teleportation passageway usually doesn¡¯t teleport people too far. Ling Lan should be nearby.¡± As expected, the two of them quickly found Ling Lan on a slope. However, at this moment, she had already fallen unconscious. The strike of the Fallen Queen still made her suffer a considerable injury. Just as the two of them were about to carry Ling Lan away, flowing energy sounded in midair again. Bang! A figure landed in the sandpit in a sorry state. Xu You was stunned. He turned around and saw Gong Yan lying in the sand in a sorry state. There was a shocking wound on her back that was continuously bleeding. Xu You originally did not want to care about her. However, after Gong Yan landed, her head tilted and she fell unconscious like Ling Lan. Xu You rubbed the space between his eyebrows and looked at Old Tame Head. He still walked over helplessly. Half an hour later, under the command of Old Tame Head, Xu You carried a woman on his shoulder and returned to the inn he had stayed in. The inn was already much quieter than when they came. When the shopkeeper saw them return, he was clearly a little shocked and hurriedly greeted them politely. Xu You booked four rooms. After treating the two unconscious people, he left the room. In the lobby of the inn, Xu You and Old Tame Head sat opposite each other. Old Tame Head sighed and spoke, ¡°This desert will probably become a high-risk area in a while.¡± Hearing this, Xu You raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Why do you say you say that?¡± Old Tame Head organized his words for a while before saying, ¡°Usually, after this living array is completed, the rank of the mystic realm will increase greatly.¡± ¡°In a place like the Fallen City, after the SSS-rank Fallen Queen was revived, coupled with those undead soldiers, this mystic realm is already enough to be judged as an SSS-rank mystic realm.¡± ¡°Moreover, during this period of time, as the Fallen City recovers, many unbelievable changes will happen in this desert.¡± ¡°In the end, the entrance to the mystic realm of the Fallen City will stabilize somewhere in the desert. However, during this process, it¡¯s best for us not to come to this desert again.¡± Xu You nodded when he heard this. It was only at this moment that he was in the mood to check the S-rank treasure he had found. Xu You was actually not too sure if his luck was good or bad this time. ¡®Alright.¡¯ The second time he entered the mystic realm, he actually entered the living array that only existed in legends. It directly made an A-rank mystic realm jump to an SSS-rank mystic realm. However, it was hard to say. This SSS-rank mystic realm was not as dangerous as ordinary SSS-rank mystic realms. In fact, to Xu You, the danger was even inferior to ordinary S-rank mystic realms. After all, although the Fallen Queen seemed to be very interested in him, she had never attacked him. Shaking his head, Xu You stopped thinking about this and directly opened the system space. Countless notifications sounded, many of them were danger warnings from the system when Xu You was still in the mystic realm. He glanced at it roughly and ignored it. Instead, he looked at the last few lines. ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining an S-rank treasure: Long Rainbow Sword.¡± ¡°Treasure Skill: Heroic Spirit, Sword God Heimdall. Effect: When hosting the Long Rainbow Sword battle, there¡¯s a certain chance of summoning the Sword God Heimdall to fight for you.¡± ¡°Long Rainbow Sword: Legend has it that the Sword God Heimdall has been searching for the strongest sword in the world his entire life. The Long Rainbow Sword is the strongest sword he found when he was young.¡± Xu You raised his eyebrows with a helpless expression. This treasure did not seem to be suitable for him. However¡­ although it was not suitable for him, it did not mean that this thing was really useless. If he released the news that he wanted to sell an S-rank treasure, Xu You believed that many people would completely fall into madness and bid at a price that he did not dare to imagine now! As long as he could successfully sell it, he would not have to worry about money for the rest of his life. An S-rank treasure was so valuable. This was because as long as one had it, it meant that no matter who it was, they could nurture an expert who could enter the Arcana Ranking in a short period of time! Being able to enter the Arcana Ranking meant that he could officially step into the realm of extraordinariness from an ordinary person. There was a saying among the people. The distance between A-rank and S-rank was like a chasm, cutting off the distance between ordinary people and true superhumans. Only by truly stepping into the realm of S-rank could they understand the power of this realm. The respect and social status that an S-rank mutant could obtain were also impossible for ordinary A-rank mutants to compare to. No matter where an S-rank mutant went, they would obtain respect and reverence. In most factions, S-rank mutants were also absolute guests. When he thought of this, Xu You sighed. He seemed to have already become an S-rank mutant. If not for the fact that the Treasure Pavilion was still chasing after him, he would probably have retired on the spot after selling this Long Rainbow Sword. Thinking of this, Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly. Treasure Pavilion. After the Great Elder died last time, if the Treasure Pavilion wanted to pursue him again, they would definitely send an S-rank expert. After all, the Great Elder was an A-rank expert. If he sent another A-rank expert, the Treasure Pavilion also knew that it was no different from sending themselves to death. When he thought of this, Xu You felt a heavy pressure in his heart. The two of them sat for a while. Just as they were about to finish eating, the door that belonged to Gong Yan and Ling Lan was pushed open. When the two of them saw each other, Ling Lan immediately sneered, while Gong Yan¡¯s face was cold. Ignoring Ling Lan, Gong Yan walked to Xu You in her tight clothes. At this moment, although her face was a little pale because of her injuries, she still looked heroic. ¡°You saved me?¡± Gong Yan asked. Xu You nodded and shook his head. Chapter 25 - Long Way to Go Chapter 25 Long Way to Go ¡°I guess so, but you also saved me. We¡¯re even.¡± Gong Yan frowned and did not say anything. Instead, she sat down. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the SS-rank super mutant, Gong Yan? Why are you still sitting with us? Isn¡¯t this lowering your status?¡± Ling Lan walked over, her voice a little strange. Gong Yan pretended not to hear him and only called out to the waiter in the shop, ¡°Give me the best wine.¡± Xu You raised his eyebrows. He wanted to say that she was injured and should not drink. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still did not say anything. It was not suitable. Next, Gong Yan drank by herself, while Ling Lan looked at her unhappily. After drinking the last mouthful of wine, Gong Yan put down the wine jar. However, it seemed to have pulled her wound and she could not help but frown slightly. This scene was acutely captured by Ling Lan. She mocked, ¡°Tsk tsk, what are you pretending for? Aren¡¯t you still injured?¡± Gong Yan glanced at her and said, ¡°Foxy, don¡¯t make your presence known in front of me. I don¡¯t want to pay attention to you, but don¡¯t push your luck. Don¡¯t forget, I¡¯m SS-rank.¡± Ling Lan glared at her, but she really did not continue to speak. Then, Gong Yan seemed to have thought for a moment before taking out a ball of light from her storage space and placing it on the table. ¡°This is my gift to you for saving me. Let¡¯s not owe each other anything in the future.¡± Gong Yan said to Xu You. When Xu You heard this, he wanted to say something, but when he met her sharp gaze, he did not say anything in the end and only nodded. Gong Yan nodded and walked out of the inn. Xu You was stunned and subconsciously said, ¡°You¡¯re leaving just like that? What about your injuries?¡± Gong Yan stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around. She did not even answer but only waved her hand with her back facing Xu You. Then, she walked out of the inn and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. Ling Lan gritted her teeth. ¡°This person still likes to pretend as usual!¡± Xu You was stunned, ¡°You know her?¡± Ling Lan nodded with an indignant expression, ¡°It¡¯s more than knowing her. She was also from the Thousand Chance Building previously and was at odds with me back then.¡± ¡°However, after her strength reached SS-rank, she chose to be independent and left the Thousand Chance Building.¡± Hearing this, Xu You was a little surprised and could not help but look in the direction where Gong Yan had left. Unfortunately, he could only see sand and dust filling the sky. At noon the next day, the three of them returned to Jianglin City. However, the three of them did not go to the dilapidated watch shop anymore. Instead, they went straight to a villa under Ling Lan. That night, the three of them began to summarize the harvest of this operation. There were a total of three S-rank treasures. If the Bottle of Life in Xu You¡¯s body was included, there were a total of four! There were three A-rank treasures and the Knowledge Scepter that Old Tame Head had used. Apart from that, there were also all kinds of jewelry and precious materials, as well as three Condensed Divine Crystals! Ling Lan and the two of them calculated if they really wanted to sell these things. Just the price of three Condensed Divine Crystals was enough to achieve economic freedom! As for the other jewelry and materials, although they were not as precious as the Condensed Divine Crystal, they were also valuable. Roughly estimating, other than the Condensed Divine Crystal, the value of various jewelry materials had already exceeded 100 million! Of course, it was impossible for them to sell the Condensed Divine Crystal. They could not have enough of such a thing for themselves, so how could they have the mood to sell it? There were also some things in those materials that could be used by them. For example, the Thunder Crystal could be used by Xu You to increase the strength of the Thunder Pearl. Ling Lan frowned and asked in confusion, ¡°Old Tame Head, are you really not planning to use another one of these treasures?¡± The gains from entering the Fallen City this time were far beyond Ling Lan¡¯s expectations. Therefore, she was also very generous now. She wanted to assign an S-rank treasure to Old Tame Head to increase his combat strength. After all, she had already decided to use an S-rank treasure to increase her combat strength. However, when Old Tame Head heard this, he shook his head. ¡°These things don¡¯t feel suitable for me.¡± Hearing this, Xu You agreed. These were basically treasures that increased the ability to fight head-on. They were all bold and open. It was really not very compatible with the old man. Ling Lan was a little helpless, but she could not say anything. In the end, among the three S-rank treasures, Ling Lan chose a treasure called Corrosion Rain. As the name suggested, this treasure could allow its host to summon a corrosive rain array. It seemed to be extremely compatible with the original illusion array ability of Ling Lan. This was also the reason why she chose it. The other two S-rank treasures were originally distributed to Xu You and Old Tame Head. However, since the two of them did not plan to use it, they could only choose to sell it like the other A-rank treasures. ¡°Let me see if there¡¯s any place to hold an auction recently.¡± ¡°When the time comes, let¡¯s find a chance to sell these things.¡± Hearing this, Xu You and Old Tame Head naturally did not object. Apart from the Thunder Crystal, Xu You also took out the largest Condensed Divine Crystal. As for Ling Lan, she obtained the other two Condensed Divine Crystals. An S-rank treasure and two Condensed Divine Crystals. It had to be said that the gains of Ling Lan this time were simply a little exaggerated. However, at the same time, Ling Lan also took the initiative to say that she would no longer take a share of the amount earned from the auction of materials and treasures. Xu You and Old Tame Head would split the money among themselves. Xu You expressed that it did not matter. He did not have much need for material things. As for Old Tame Head, he was quite happy. ¡­ At night, Xu You was in his room, slowly fusing with the Thunder Crystal and the Condensed Divine Crystal. He could clearly sense that during the process of fusing the Thunder Crystal and the Condensed Divine Crystal. The Thunder Pearl and Bottle of Life in his body had grown to varying degrees. The power of the Thunder Pearl had clearly become much stronger, and it even vaguely felt like it was about to break through. The previous Thunder Pearl was an A-rank. Once it could break through, it would undoubtedly be an S-rank treasure. At that time, with two S-rank treasures in his hand and an extremely compatible attribute, Xu You¡¯s combat strength would definitely take another step forward! However, the increase in the Bottle of Life was not as obvious as the Thunder Pearl. He could clearly sense that the growth in the Bottle of Life during this period of time was not even a tenth of the advancement requirement. There was still a long way to go. The next day, Ling Lan left early. She had probably gone to contact the auction house and potential buyers. As for Old Tame Head, he was studying something. Xu You did not want to disturb him and went out alone. Chapter 26 - Treasure Pavilion Chapter 26 Treasure Pavilion Xu You had gone out this time to see if there was anything he wanted in the black market in Jianglin City. Although the Bottle of Life could greatly maintain his physical condition as an infinite energy source, the increase in combat strength was not that obvious. As for the Thunder Pearl, it could increase his combat strength but in an amplification manner. In other words, the current Xu You lacked a suitable weapon. This way, he could maximize the combat strength of the Thunder Pearl. The treasures he had found in the Fallen City were not suitable. To Xu You, although the things in the Fallen City were very high-level, they were basically not compatible with the Thunder Pearl. Therefore, he wanted to come to the black market to see the situation and see if he could find a treasure that was compatible with the Thunder Pearl and was of a decent level. In any case, with the harvest from the Fallen City, it was very simple for him to buy some things. About half an hour later, Xu You arrived at the black market in Jianglin City. After walking around the black market, Xu You shook his head in disappointment. ¡°As expected¡­ it¡¯s really not a simple thing to find something suitable in such a place.¡± Most of the treasures in the black market were C-rank treasures. Occasionally, a B-rank treasure would appear and cause everyone to fight for it. It was really not easy for Xu You to find a treasure that satisfied him under such circumstances. Thinking of this, Xu You could not help but frown slightly. After obtaining the Thunder Pearl and the Bottle of Life, he no longer thought much of ordinary B-rank treasures. Therefore, after walking around the black market, Xu You directly turned around and planned to return to the villa. However¡­ just as Xu You stepped out of the black market, he suddenly frowned. He quietly moved his feet and inadvertently looked to his side. The air seemed to have been twisted, and the surrounding sounds seemed to have become weak in an instant. This feeling made Xu You feel like he had fallen into a dream. Tap! Tap! Tap! The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground suddenly sounded from beside Xu You. This voice was extremely clear and became the only sound in this silent space. The alarm in Xu You¡¯s heart rang wildly, but his expression did not change much. He turned around calmly and looked at the¡­ frivolous young man walking over from his side. The man smiled at Xu You, ¡°Hello, my name is Wang Chen.¡± As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved at Xu You. It seemed that Wang Chen seemed to be very kind to him. However, Xu You did not relax at all. Instead, he became even more vigilant. As he retreated, Xu You¡¯s gaze gradually became serious. If Wang Chen really did not have any thoughts about him, he would definitely not deliberately create such a sealed space to meet him alone. Xu You turned around. He could clearly see that he was on the street now. However, he felt that he was in a different time and space from the others on the street. Apart from Xu You and Wang Chen, it was as if everyone else could not see the two of them. There were even people passing through their bodies. Their conversation made Xu You unable to hear it clearly as if it was coming from the distant sky. Most importantly, Xu You clearly saw it. Wang Chen was clearly smiling, but the way he looked at him was filled with coldness. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu You asked coldly. When Wang Chen heard this, he immediately raised his hands and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, little brother.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, we¡¯re still former colleagues. Don¡¯t look like you¡¯ve just seen a ghost, okay?¡± Hearing this, Xu You was first slightly stunned, then his pupils suddenly constricted and he asked in a serious voice, ¡°You¡¯re from the Treasure Pavilion?¡± It was no wonder that Xu You had a huge reaction. He could sense that this guy was at least S-rank. In fact, his aura was even stronger than Ling Lan¡¯s. If Ling Lan was here, they might be able to deal with this guy if they joined forces. However, if he was alone, there was a high chance that he could not deal with this person. Therefore, if this person decided to fight him to the death, it would really be a little difficult for Xu You to resolve today¡¯s situation. If this person was from the Treasure Pavilion¡­ ¡°Bingo!¡± Wang Chen snapped his fingers with a happy expression. ¡°You¡¯re right! I¡¯m the law enforcer of the Treasure Pavilion.¡± Xu You clenched his fists slightly, and the expression on his face became heavier. The worst situation happened. ¡°What do you want?¡± As Xu You retreated without a trace, he placed his right hand behind his back and began to urge the power of the Thunder Pearl. Wang Chen casually glanced at Xu You¡¯s right arm and said indifferently, ¡°My suggestion is that you better not move.¡± ¡°This is my illusion. I can see all your actions clearly.¡± Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and his footsteps immediately froze. He also stopped urging the Thunder Pearl. His original thought was to urge the full-strength strike of the Thunder Pearl to see if he could break through the illusion. However, from the looks of it¡­ it should be impossible to do this. After a slight pause, Wang Chen continued, ¡°As for what I want to do¡­ you should know very well.¡± Wang Chen¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold, ¡°You killed the Great Elder of Jianglin City and snatched the Thunder Dragon Pearl that belongs to my Treasure Pavilion.¡± ¡°Xu You¡­ you have a death wish!¡± Xu You clenched his fists and looked at Wang Chen seriously, ¡°You should know that I also found many good things in the Fallen City this time.¡± ¡°As a place that is about to become an SSS-rank mystic realm, I believe you know the value of the things inside better than me.¡¯ ¡°I don¡¯t mind using these things to buy my life.¡± When Wang Chen heard this, he simply said, ¡°If I kill you, I can still take those things.¡± Xu You shook his head. ¡°No, because I don¡¯t have these things with me.¡± ¡°I need you to go back with me to get it. In that case, not only can you report to the Treasure Pavilion, but you can also obtain good benefits. You won¡¯t have to fight me.¡± ¡°I think this is a good deal for you.¡± Wang Chen glanced at Xu You, ¡°Fight me? You think too highly of yourself.¡± ¡°Also, do you think I can¡¯t tell that you¡¯re actually stalling for time?¡± Chapter 27 - Arrival Chapter 27 Arrival When Xu You heard this, he immediately frowned. Indeed, he had this thought. When Ling Lan went out in the morning, she said that she wanted to eat lunch together. Now that a period of time had passed since noon, if he still did not appear, Ling Lan and Old Tame Head would definitely come to find him. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. Do you think I won¡¯t have a backup plan if I come to find you like this?¡± Wang Chen¡¯s face was filled with faint mockery. ¡°Do you think an S-rank mutant from the Treasure Pavilion can stall an S-rank mutant from the Thousand Chance Building?¡± Xu You immediately frowned when he heard this. He roughly understood that the operation of the Treasure Pavilion had been premeditated. In other words, their Dragon Soul Team had long been targeted by the Treasure Pavilion. From the beginning, they had planned to send out two S-rank mutants. One was used to deal with him, and the other was used to delay the Ling Lan. ¡°You think too highly of me. In order to deal with me alone, you actually mobilized two S-rank mutants.¡± There was an undisguised mockery in Xu You¡¯s tone. Wang Chen shook his head and said extremely seriously, ¡°There¡¯s an old saying: Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.¡± As he spoke, Wang Chen¡¯s gaze swept past Xu You. ¡°From the looks of it, our caution is not wrong at all.¡± ¡°The aura on your body now¡­ I¡¯m afraid you already have an S-rank treasure, right?¡± ¡°Unfortunately, you¡¯re not from the combat department. Otherwise, I might really have to work harder to take you down.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Xu You saw Wang Chen¡¯s body suddenly tremble. An illusory feeling slowly emitted from Wang Chen¡¯s body. This scene made Xu You¡¯s pupils unconsciously constrict. Then, Xu You suddenly jumped back and barely dodged Wang Chen¡¯s extremely sharp punch. This punch brushed past the tip of Xu You¡¯s nose. He could even clearly feel the strong wind on his fist. ¡°Your reaction is not bad.¡± Wang Chen looked a little surprised. After saying that, Wang Chen moved again before Xu You could answer. With his guard up, Xu You was not as miserable as before. After a few attacks and battles, Wang Chen seemed to have lost his patience. In the next second, he originally sped up extremely quickly. Swoosh! A phantom suddenly moved and instantly arrived in front of Xu You. Xu You did not have the time to dodge this punch and could only raise his arms to forcefully block. However, he was not a person who liked to be at a disadvantage. While blocking this punch, he also circulated the power of the Thunder Pearl and kicked Wang Chen¡¯s abdomen. Bang! The powerful impact spread to Xu You¡¯s arm, causing him to feel as if his arm was about to be shattered by this punch. At the same time, there was also a psychedelic feeling that quickly spread from Xu You¡¯s arm to his brain. In his shock, Xu You used this impact to quickly retreat. At the same time, he glanced at Wang Chen from the corner of his eye. He frowned with a displeased expression, and lightning continuously spread on his body. Xu You heaved a sigh of relief. If he had not kicked out just now, he, who had fallen into a slightly hallucinatory state, would definitely have been beaten into a sorry state by Wang Chen¡¯s pursuit. Wang Chen raised his head and locked his gaze on Xu You, ¡°The Thunder Pearl¡­ is really a good thing.¡± His initial plan was to use the hallucination effect in his ability to make Xu You fall into a short period of confusion. Then, he could take advantage of this period of time to continue attacking. At that time, Xu You would not even have the chance to resist and would be directly dealt with by him! However¡­ Wang Chen frowned slightly and looked at Xu You curiously. His combat experience seemed to be much higher than he had imagined. This combat awareness could still find the best opportunity to counterattack in the face of danger. He should be an existence that could at least be ranked in the top three among so many people he had fought! One had to know that he was a law enforcer of the Treasure Pavilion. His specialty and what he had to do every day was to fight. The fact that Xu You could obtain his evaluation was enough to explain something. After rubbing his arm and confirming that it was not directly broken by this strike, Xu You raised his head. ¡°Is there a need?¡± Wang Chen glanced at him and smiled faintly, ¡°From the moment you betrayed the Treasure Pavilion, you should have known that this would happen.¡± ¡°My Treasure Pavilion can¡¯t tolerate traitors!¡± Hearing this, Xu You said, ¡°The Treasure Pavilion is too ruthless.¡± ¡°Moreover, I¡¯ve clearly swallowed this Thunder Pearl, but you actually want to take it out of my body¡­¡± Wang Chen suddenly raised his hand with a slightly impatient expression. ¡°I don¡¯t really want to hear what you¡¯re saying.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to analyze the right and wrong between you. I only know that you judged the Treasure Pavilion and even killed the Great Elder of Jianglin City.¡± ¡°Therefore, you have to die.¡± When Xu You heard this, his expression did not change. In fact, he had never thought of using these words to convince Wang Chen. He only wanted to use this method to stall for time. The time he had fought for¡­ would become one of the most important factors in escaping danger. Of course, the price was very high. However, this was already the only way Xu You could think of in such a dangerous situation. Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly with a serious expression. Then, just as he was about to be ready, he suddenly saw Wang Chen frown not far away from him. Then, Wang Chen directly shifted his gaze and ignored Xu You in front of him to look at his side. Xu You frowned in confusion and followed Wang Chen¡¯s gaze. At first, Xu You could not see anything but a gray mist. However, as time passed, he saw a figure slowly walk out of this fog. It was a slightly slender figure. Xu You could determine from the rough outline of that person that it should be a woman. Xu You turned to look at Wang Chen and clearly saw that he was already frowning tightly. Clearly, the person gave him a lot of pressure. As time passed, the originally blurry outline gradually became clearer in Xu You¡¯s eyes. Xu You confirmed that the person was indeed a woman. Moreover¡­ it was a woman with a good figure. Chapter 28 - Whats Your Name? Chapter 28 What¡¯s Your Name? This thought was quickly thrown out of Xu You¡¯s mind. The current situation was extremely urgent. He could fall into a life and death danger at any time. The figure of this person was no longer something he should pay attention to. Thinking of this, Xu You suddenly urged the Thunder Pearl in his body again. He felt the temperature in his body continuously rising. In fact, the retreat path Xu You had found for himself was to detonate the Thunder Pearl in his body and break out of his current environment. This was already the only way he could think of in such a desperate situation. However, Xu You did not activate the Thunder Pearl in his body without holding back. The identity of the person was still unclear, although he could roughly determine from his figure that it was not Ling Lan. However, from Wang Chen¡¯s expression of facing a great enemy, he still could not confirm if the person¡¯s identity was friend or foe. Then, Xu You and Wang Chen¡¯s gazes stared at that person¡¯s figure at the same time. She gradually appeared in front of the two of them from the fog. It was an unfamiliar face. This thought appeared in Xu You and Wang Chen¡¯s minds at the same time. They had never seen this person before. However, what surprised Xu You was that the person¡¯s face was a little exquisite and beautiful. Be it Ling Lan or Gong Yan, who he had encountered previously, in terms of looks, they were definitely inferior to her. If Ling Lan¡¯s appearance could be 90 points, she was definitely an existence with more than 95 points. However¡­ what attracted Xu You¡¯s attention the most was not her exquisite and good-looking face. It was her gaze. She looked at Xu You and Wang Chen, and the meaning in her eyes was completely unpredictable. Indifferent and emotionless. Xu You felt that he should be able to use these words to describe this woman¡¯s gaze. After Wang Chen saw her, he ignored Xu You and said to the woman not far away, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a high-level law enforcer of the Treasure Pavilion. I wonder if you can do me a favor and pretend not to see this.¡± Wang Chen¡¯s tone was a little polite. Clearly, this woman¡¯s strength made him a little afraid. However, after the woman heard this, she glanced at him coldly and opened her red lips. ¡°Get lost.¡± Wang Chen was immediately stunned. After the expression on his face changed for a while, it quickly became a little gloomy. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too much for you to do this?¡± ¡°This is the matter of the Treasure Pavilion. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve crossed the line by interfering? My Treasure Pavilion¡¯s business¡­ you shouldn¡¯t interfere.¡± Wang Chen was polite to this woman at first because he felt that this person was very powerful. If he could make a deal and avoid a dispute with uncertain results, Wang Chen felt that it was more worth it. However, the attitude this woman displayed now showed that she was completely not planning to give him any face. Since there was no room for discussion, a fight could not be avoided. Thinking of this, Wang Chen¡¯s footsteps moved slightly. The woman not far away suddenly turned to look at him. Then, she said in confusion, ¡°You plan to fight me?¡± When Wang Chen heard this, he immediately sneered. ¡°Friend, you chose this yourself.¡± ¡°At this point, it¡¯s useless for you to say anything else!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chen¡¯s figure directly shot out from the spot, bringing about afterimages. However, after Wang Chen moved, Xu You saw it extremely clearly. A¡­ mocking smile seemed to appear on the woman¡¯s lips? Xu You immediately frowned. He was not too sure if he had seen it wrongly. This was because, in an instant, the woman¡¯s expression had already recovered its indifference. It was as if the mocking smile just now was only Xu You¡¯s imagination. While he was thinking about this, Wang Chen had already shot in front of the woman. Xu You stared at the two of them. He wanted to see the result of the battle between the two of them. At the same time, he did not stop urging the Thunder Pearl. In his opinion, although that woman did not seem to have any hostility towards him, Xu You did not like the feeling of his fate being controlled by others. Then, in Xu You¡¯s vision, Wang Chen walked to the woman. Then, he simply threw a punch. However, in the face of Wang Chen¡¯s illusory punch, his posture seemed extremely ruthless. The woman only raised her head indifferently. Then, she spread out her left palm and clenched Wang Chen¡¯s right fist. Sand and rocks flew, but Wang Chen¡¯s expression had already changed drastically. He wanted to pull his hand out of the woman¡¯s hand, but he discovered that he could not do this no matter what. Looking up in surprise, Wang Chen saw an indifferent but slightly disdainful face. Wang Chen¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. Only at this moment did he sense it extremely clearly. The difference in strength between him and this woman was probably even more exaggerated than he had imagined! In the next second, Wang Chen did not even see the woman¡¯s actions clearly. A sharp pain came from his abdomen, and the scenery in front of him began to quickly retreat. Bang! Wang Chen¡¯s body landed heavily on the ground, looking miserable. This scene also made Xu You¡¯s expression change slightly, and his mood became even heavier. The strength of the woman in front of him definitely surpassed Ling Lan and Wang Chen greatly! Xu You even felt that this woman¡¯s strength should be comparable to Gong Yan! However, just as Xu You¡¯s thoughts reached here, he saw the woman not far away slowly turn her gaze to him. In his indifferent eyes, an interest that even Xu You could see clearly appeared. Xu You¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. Interested in me? Who is this person? Why would a suspected SS-rank mutant whose strength was already so terrifying be interested in him? ¡°Phew¡­¡± Xu You heaved a sigh of relief. He had just left the tiger¡¯s den and entered the wolf¡¯s den again. However, before he could speak, he discovered that the originally illusory scenery around him suddenly began to fade. The three of them appeared in an empty alley. Xu You focused his gaze and saw that Wang Chen had long fallen unconscious. He immediately understood. If not for this, Wang Chen¡¯s illusion would not have been impossible to maintain. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± As soon as the question sounded, Xu You¡¯s hair immediately stood on end. He almost subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the suspected SS-rank mutant in front of him. Taking a deep breath, Xu You knew very well that he could not escape immediately. Chapter 29 - Chen Gui Chapter 29 Chen Gui Therefore, Xu You simply asked, ¡°What about you? What¡¯s your name?¡± The woman frowned. ¡°I¡¯m very unhappy that you speak like that.¡± Xu You was immediately shocked and hurriedly replied, ¡°Cough, cough. Xu You, my name is Xu You.¡± The woman nodded. ¡°Chen Gui.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Xu You was stunned. It took him a moment to realize that the woman was talking about her name. ¡°You¡­ are looking for me?¡± The woman nodded again. ¡°Why?¡± This time, Chen Gui did not answer quickly. Instead, she frowned as if she had fallen into thought. After a long time, she replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but there¡¯s a familiar aura on you. I like it very much.¡± Xu You frowned. He could tell that Chen Gui did not seem to have any hostility toward him. However, Chen Gui¡¯s strength was too powerful, causing Xu You to almost instinctively feel uneasy. ¡°If you¡¯re looking for something on me, I can give it to you directly as repayment for saving my life.¡± ¡°After giving it to you, we won¡¯t owe each other anything.¡± Hearing this, Chen Gui shook her head under Xu You¡¯s disappointed gaze. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be¡­ something on you. I¡¯m not too sure.¡± At this moment, Chen Gui had a puzzled expression. Coupled with her exquisite face, she actually looked a little cute. This discovery stunned Xu You himself. ¡°Is that so? Where do you live? Jianglin City?¡± Xu You wanted to inquire about Chen Gui¡¯s background first. After asking these things, he could analyze and deal with the current situation. However, Chen Gui¡¯s answer surprised him again. ¡°I don¡¯t have a home.¡± Xu You was stunned for a moment before asking, ¡°What about your friend? I can send you to your friend¡¯s place.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any friends either.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know anyone in this world.¡± Chen Gui¡¯s expression was extremely calm as she slowly said these words. Xu You was stunned. He really did not expect Chen Gui¡¯s background to be so pitiful. She had no home or friends. ¡°Then where are you staying now?¡± Chen Gui shook her head again. This time, before she could speak, Xu You answered first. ¡°You don¡¯t have a place to stay, right?¡± Chen Gui stared at him for a moment until the smile on Xu You¡¯s face froze. Then, she nodded. Xu You thought for a moment and said, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll find you a place to stay first.¡± ¡°After you figure out these problems, you can decide where to go, okay?¡± When Chen Gui heard this, she did not continue to shake her head or nod. Instead, she stared at Xu You. ¡°No, I¡¯ll just follow you.¡± When Xu You heard this, he was first slightly stunned and his mood immediately became a little conflicted. To Xu You, it was naturally a good thing to have a great expert like Chen Gui by his side. However, she was too uncontrollable. Thinking of this, Xu You asked, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, will you help me resolve any danger I encounter?¡± Chen Gui lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying extremely seriously, ¡°It depends on my mood.¡± Xu You opened his mouth but could not say a word. In the end, Xu You gave up on continuing to communicate with Chen Gui and directly brought her to a hotel near Ling Lan¡¯s villa. Of course, it was impossible for Xu You to bring Chen Gui to Ling Lan¡¯s villa. It was very troublesome to explain. Moreover, with the personalities of Ling Lan and Chen Gui, Xu You did not believe that they would not fight after getting together. Therefore, arranging for Chen Gui to stay in the hotel was the best choice. Xu You and Chen Gui explained for a long time, saying that they were not far from her. After talking for a long time, Chen Gui accepted this arrangement. As for Wang Chen, who had been knocked unconscious by Chen Gui¡­ Xu You had never been a soft-hearted person. After realizing that Wang Chen could not resist him, he simply ended the guy¡¯s life. As for the rare treasure, Xu You did not take it. The Treasure Pavilion valued these things so much that there might be something inside that could track them. For an S-rank treasure, it was not worth taking such a risk. After Xu You returned to the villa, Ling Lan and Old Tame Head were naturally a little worried. After the three of them experienced the Fallen City together, their relationship had already increased greatly. If it was a little difficult for the three of them to say that they were teammates before, it was no longer a problem now. The three of them agreed to eat lunch. Xu You had missed the appointment and had yet to be contacted, so it naturally made them a little worried. After Xu You explained the situation clearly, he only skipped the part about Chen Gui. He only said that he was lucky to have encountered a mysterious senior and escaped danger. When Old Tame Head heard this, he naturally felt relieved. Although Ling Lan was a little skeptical, since Xu You had already said so, she could not continue. ¡°Right, the Lin Auction House in Jianglin City is preparing to hold an auction in three days. Most of the things we sold will appear in that auction.¡± ¡°When the things are sold, the auction house will take 5%. This is the best price I can negotiate. Xu You nodded when he heard this. He knew that what Ling Lan said was true. Under normal circumstances, when receiving goods in an auction, they would directly buy from the seller and auction the items themselves. In that case, no matter how high the price of the item was, it had nothing to do with the seller. Under normal circumstances, the auction house would definitely not give this condition. Unless it was someone like them, the goods were especially precious, and the seller was very powerful. Only under such circumstances would the auction house be willing to give in to such an extent. ¡°The auction house estimated that after selling these goods, they should be able to sell for about 3 billion.¡± ¡°At that time, Old Tame Head will take two billion. Xu You, you take 700 million, and I¡¯ll take 300 million. Do you have any objections?¡± When Xu You heard this, he looked at Ling Lan in surprise but did not say anything. Old Tame Head was also stunned. Then, he said in disbelief, ¡°I¡¯ll take two billion? Isn¡¯t this a little too¡­¡± Ling Lan waved her hand and interrupted what Old Tame Head wanted to say. ¡°Two billion is not much. There are many things that I took but you did not. These are what you deserve.¡± ¡°Moreover, if not for the fact that I need some money to pull some strings, I plan to give you this 300 million.¡± When Old Tame Head heard this, he naturally praised Ling Lan again. She waved her hand and suddenly turned to look at Xu You. Chapter 30 - Three Choices for the Mystic Realm Chapter 30 Three Choices for the Mystic Realm ¡°Xu You.¡± Hearing this, Xu You raised his head and looked at Ling Lan, waiting for him to continue. Ling Lan seemed to have organized her words before speaking again. ¡°I¡¯ve asked around about the mystic realm in Jianglin City in the past few days.¡± ¡°Now, let¡¯s discuss the mystic realm that¡¯s suitable for us to explore and see how the situation is.¡± As she spoke, Ling Lan glanced at Old Tame Head again and he immediately nodded. After seeing this scene, Xu You also said, ¡°Then tell me. If I continue to stay in Jianglin City, ¡°I reckon the people from the Treasure Pavilion will come looking for us again soon.¡± ¡°Next time¡­ there might be SS-rank people looking for us!¡± Xu You¡¯s words immediately made their expressions sink, and the venue fell silent. After a while, Old Tame Head finally could not help but ask, ¡°Little Xu, what¡¯s going on between you and the Treasure Pavilion?¡± ¡°Logically speaking, the Treasure Pavilion shouldn¡¯t fight you to the death at all costs, right?¡± Hearing this, Xu You recalled. He had always told Old Tame Head that he had a grudge against the Treasure Pavilion. As for what grudge he had and how he had formed it, he had never told Old Tame Head. ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­¡± Ten minutes later, Xu You stopped his story. At this moment, Old Tame Head also had a relatively clear understanding of why Xu You had such a deep hatred for the Treasure Pavilion. ¡°This is not your fault. The Treasure Pavilion is a little too domineering.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already swallowed the Thunder Pearl, but they actually want to forcefully take it out.¡± ¡°That so-called Great Elder deserves to die.¡± Xu You smiled, his expression noncommittal. At this moment, Ling Lan shook her head and said, ¡°Are the two of you done chatting? Do you still want to hear about the mystic realm?¡± The two of them could hear that Ling Lan was a little angry. They immediately shut up and focused on listening to her. ¡°The first mystic realm is the Fallen God Realm, an S-rank mystic realm. The treasures inside are mostly A-rank and S-rank treasures, and there are also SS-rank treasures. However, their numbers are very few. After so many years of exploration, there are probably not many left.¡± ¡°However¡­ even if we go, we might not be able to snatch such a treasure.¡± As she spoke, Ling Lan glanced at Xu You and said, ¡°Moreover, our current priority is to find a suitable weapon for Xu You.¡± ¡°In the Fallen God Realm, most of them are rare treasures that increase combat strength like the Thunder Pearl.¡± ¡°Therefore, I don¡¯t recommend this mystic realm, but it can be used as a backup.¡± When Xu You heard this, he nodded and did not say anything. Then, Ling Lan¡¯s words continued. ¡°The second mystic realm is the Sea God¡¯s Wander. This is also an S-rank mystic realm, and this is an emerging mystic realm. The degree of exploration is not high.¡¯ || ¡°To be able to obtain the evaluation of an S-rank mystic realm under such circumstances, it¡¯s enough to show that the treasures inside are very abundant and powerful.¡± ¡°However, I don¡¯t know much about this mystic realm. Or rather, everyone doesn¡¯t know much about it. Therefore, it¡¯s filled with unknown danger.¡± After a pause, Ling Lan saw that the expressions on their faces seemed to have fallen into deep thought. Therefore, she waited for a moment before continuing. ¡°The third mystic realm, the Purgatory of Fire. It¡¯s an S-rank mystic realm. The treasures and guardian beasts inside are basically all S-rank.¡± ¡°Most of the treasures are of the fire attribute. However, because the degree of exploration is relatively high, we can obtain more information.¡± ¡°There are also a few S-rank treasures that have yet to be taken down. I feel that if we go over, we should be able to obtain one or two S-rank treasures.¡± After saying that, she looked at the two people in front of her and said indifferently, ¡°Now, express your opinions. Which mystic realm are you more inclined to? What¡¯s the reason?¡± Xu You fell into thought and did not speak immediately. After thinking for a moment, Old Tame Head simply said, ¡°I think it might be better to use the Purgatory of Fire.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen the relevant information and information of this mystic realm before. The proportion of weapons produced by rare treasures is relatively high.¡¯ ¡°Moreover, the exploration of this mystic realm is relatively perfect. It¡¯s basically impossible for any accidents to happen.¡± ¡°To the current us, it¡¯s still relatively suitable.¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan did not comment. Instead, she turned to look at Xu You with a faint questioning gaze. Xu You glanced at Ling Lan and gave his answer. ¡°I prefer the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and simply asked, ¡°Why?¡± Xu You thought for a moment before answering, ¡°The Fallen God Realm and the Purgatory of Fire have been explored too much in the past few years.¡± ¡°Basically, all the truly valuable and useful treasures have been taken away.¡¯ ¡°The remaining ones that meet my level requirements are basically those high-level treasures, but their actual value is not high. Moreover, the difficulty and price of obtaining them are very high.¡± ¡°Even if we find such a treasure, it¡¯s probably not worth it.¡± Hearing this, Ling Lan nodded in agreement. ¡°I think Xu You is quite right.¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at Old Tame Head, ¡°What do you think?¡± Old Tame Head opened his mouth with a helpless expression. ¡°I think¡­ the two of you are quite right.¡± Old Tame Head finally understood that the two people in front of him were risk-taking lunatics who valued benefits. His thought process of prioritizing safety was completely opposite to theirs. When he thought of this, Old Tame Head could not help but shake his head. ¡°Since the two of you have an idea, why are you still asking me? Are you teasing me?¡± Old Tame Head¡¯s voice was filled with resentment, causing Xu You to be unable to help but laugh. Ling Lan could not help but smile before saying, ¡°Then it¡¯s confirmed now.¡± ¡°The next mystic realm exploration will be the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± ¡°After the auction ends, let¡¯s buy some necessary things and set off.¡± After a slight pause, Ling Lan said, ¡°In the next two days, let¡¯s inquire about the Sea God¡¯s Wander together.¡± ¡°Especially you, Old Tame Head.¡± When the old man heard this, he sighed helplessly. Although he looked like a lonely old man, he was actually quite popular in Jianglin City. Chapter 31 - Zhang Ling Chapter 31 Zhang Ling His connections, his already very powerful information ability, and his understanding of various mystic realms. The mission to inquire about the situation of the Sea God¡¯s Wander was indeed the most suitable for him. That night, Xu You arrived at the hotel beside him and told Chen Gui the news that he was about to go to the mystic realm. After Chen Gui heard this news, her exquisite peach blossom eyes immediately became puzzled. ¡°Mystic realm? How long do you need to go?¡± When Xu You heard this, he said, ¡°About a few days.¡± When Chen Gui heard this, she nodded and did not have any other reaction. Xu You was stunned and said in confusion, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going with me?¡± Chen Gui shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go. I¡¯m in a bad mood and want to stay at home.¡± Xu You did not quite understand why Chen Gui was in a bad mood, but he still heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that she did not plan to go. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome to explain. Thinking of this, Xu You looked at Chen Gui with a slightly puzzled expression. ¡°However, I¡¯m very curious about something. Since you said that something about me attracted you.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t you just take that thing away and not stay by my side like this?¡± Xu You had been curious about this question for a long time. If he did not ask, it would always be a Sword of Damocles hanging above his head. This was because he still could not believe that an SS-rank mutant would stay by his side for such a simple reason. When Chen Gui heard this, she glanced at him indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m not sure what it is.¡± ¡°Moreover, I feel that after taking out that thing, it will lose its attraction to me.¡± After saying this, Chen Gui turned around and walked to the large bed beside her before lying down. ¡°You can leave now.¡¯ When Xu You heard this, he shrugged and walked out of the hotel room. As a perfect woman, even Chen Gui¡¯s figure was impeccable. As she lay down in the hotel room, it was naturally an extremely attractive scene. However¡­ even if Xu You had a few more guts, he did not dare to have any thoughts about Chen Gui at this moment. Just as Xu You walked out of the hotel room and prepared to return, he suddenly saw a familiar person. Zhang Ling. It was the guy who had entered the Fallen City with them and said that they were teammates. In the end, he ran the fastest and could read minds. After seeing him, Xu You subconsciously frowned. Just as he was about to walk around him, Zhang Ling suddenly looked in his direction. Then, his gaze locked onto Xu You. Then, Zhang Ling¡¯s excited voice sounded. ¡°Brother! Long time no see!¡± Zhang Ling was originally holding a hot beauty, but after seeing Xu You, he directly abandoned the beauty in his arms and walked towards him. As soon as the two of them met, he was especially enthusiastic and wanted to hug Xu You. However, after Xu You saw this scene, he frowned slightly and dodged Zhang Ling¡¯s embrace. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu You asked with a frown. Hearing this, Zhang Ling first put away his hand that was hanging in midair extremely naturally and greeted him with a smile. ¡°Of course¡­ it¡¯s nothing. However, we¡¯re all teammates. It¡¯s not strange to greet each other when we meet, right?¡± When Xu You heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said coldly, ¡°Former teammates.¡± ¡°Moreover, you like to betray your teammates. Therefore, I feel that there¡¯s no benefit in being treated as your teammate.¡± Zhang Ling laughed and said, ¡°How was I betraying my teammates that time? Isn¡¯t that a wise man submitting to circumstances?¡± ¡°Moreover¡­ we¡¯re not just former teammates, right?¡± When Xu You heard this, he immediately frowned. He had a feeling that Zhang Ling¡¯s words meant something. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Zhang Ling chuckled and grabbed Xu You¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Ling Lan probably didn¡¯t have the time to tell you. From now on, I¡¯ll be invited to become a member of your Dragon Soul Team.¡± ¡°If you go to the sea, I¡¯ll also explore this mystic realm as one of you.¡± ¡°Therefore, it¡¯s not a problem for me to say that I¡¯m one of you now, right?¡± Xu You glanced at Zhang Ling and did not say anything. Instead, he called Ling Lan. ¡°Hey.¡± Ling Lan¡¯s voice sounded a little puzzled. Xu You quickly repeated what had happened here and asked directly, ¡°Is this your decision?¡± Ling Lan pondered for a moment on the phone. Just as Xu You¡¯s frown deepened, she spoke again. ¡°No, that kid fooled you.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t directly invite him to join our team. Since you¡¯re the leader of the team now, it¡¯s naturally up to you to decide who to invite to join the team.¡± When Xu You heard this, the expression on his face eased. He actually did not like that Ling Lan decided everything alone. Therefore, when he heard from Zhang Ling that Ling Lan had already invited him to join the Dragon Soul Team, Xu You was a little angry. However, after hearing Ling Lan¡¯s explanation, Xu You immediately returned to his senses. At this point, she paused slightly. ¡°However, I did encounter him today and have expressed to him that our Dragon Soul Team is short of people.¡± ¡°Of course, whether he can join our team or not depends on you.¡± Xu You nodded and hung up. Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Ling. At this moment, Zhang Ling shrugged with a helpless and apologetic smile. ¡°Heh heh, don¡¯t I want to use this method to directly make you accept me so that there won¡¯t be so much trouble? What do you think?¡± Xu You glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything on this topic. Instead, he asked directly, ¡°You want to go to the sea?¡± When Zhang Ling heard this, he immediately waved his hand. ¡°What? I was convinced by you after seeing Brother Xu¡¯s valiant and heroic bearing in the Fallen City last time.¡± ¡°I should join a team like the Dragon Soul Team¡­¡± ¡°Hey, hey, Brother Xu, don¡¯t leave.¡± Zhang Ling finally stopped Xu You and said helplessly, ¡°Brother Xu, what are you doing?¡± Xu You glanced at him and simply said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to tell the truth, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for me to continue listening.¡± Zhang Ling could not help but rub the space between his eyebrows with a helpless expression. ¡°Brother Xu¡­ I really can¡¯t hide it from you.¡± Chapter 32 - Sea Gods Wander Chapter 32 Sea God¡¯s Wander Zhang Ling chuckled and met Xu You¡¯s gaze. ¡°Actually, I heard this time that there seems to be the weapon of the Sea God, Poseidon, in the Sea God¡¯s Wander!¡± As soon as Zhang Ling said this, Xu You¡¯s pupils immediately constricted, ¡°How is this possible?!¡± The Sea God¡¯s Wander was only an S-rank mystic realm. If there was really the weapon of the Sea God, Poseidon, in this mystic realm, its evaluation would definitely not only be S-rank! One had to know that the Sea God¡¯s Trident was the most famous weapon in all Greek mythology. If a treasure of this level did not appear in an SSS-rank mystic realm, Xu You would feel that it was not worthy of its identity! ¡°Shh!¡± Seeing his excitement, Zhang Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Xu You. Then, he waved at the beautiful woman he had hugged earlier, ¡°You can leave now.¡± The beautiful woman was stunned as if she could not react. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? I said you can leave now!¡± Zhang Ling¡¯s voice was a little impatient. When the beautiful woman heard this, she glanced at him and got into the elevator without a word. Then, Zhang Ling directly brought Xu You to another room in the hotel with a polite expression. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Brother Xu. It¡¯s not convenient to talk outside. Let¡¯s go in and talk.¡± Zhang Ling¡¯s face was filled with eagerness, causing Xu You to even have a slight fear. He remembered that he seemed to have been like this the first time he tricked his girlfriend into getting a room. Shaking his head, Xu You threw away the messy thoughts in his mind. After the two of them entered the room, Zhang Ling spoke with a serious expression. ¡°Brother Xu, I know you might not believe me. After all, an S-rank mystic realm is not related to the weapon of the Sea God Poseidon.¡± ¡°However¡­ I can say very responsibly that the source of this news is definitely true and reliable.¡± ¡°As for the Sea God¡¯s Wander, the reason why it only has an S-rank evaluation is related to its recent appearance.¡± ¡°If everyone continues to explore, the evaluation of this mystic realm might rise to SS-rank!¡± Xu You shook his head. ¡°Even so, things don¡¯t make sense.¡± ¡°An SS-rank mystic realm is also not compatible with the Sea God Poseidon¡¯s weapon.¡± Zhang Ling nodded. ¡°Brother Xu, this is what I want to tell you.¡± Zhang Ling¡¯s face was filled with mystery, and her tone seemed to be about to reveal a shocking secret. When Xu You heard this, he subconsciously sat up straight. However, at this point, Zhang Ling suddenly paused. Then, he looked at Xu You with anticipation and said, ¡°Brother Xu, will you agree to let me join the Dragon Soul Team after I tell you this?¡± When Xu You heard this, he wanted to curse. After taking a deep breath, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said, ¡°Tell me first. I¡¯ll consider letting you join after that.¡± When Zhang Ling heard this, she shook her head like a rattle. ¡°That won¡¯t do, Brother Xu. This is the only bargaining chip I have to join the Dragon Soul Team.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, I won¡¯t tell you!¡± Xu You rolled his eyes and stood up to walk out the door. To be honest, with Old Tame Head around, he did not believe that he could not obtain any information. It did not matter if Zhang Ling did not say anything. Xu You¡¯s straightforward actions also stunned Zhang Ling. After reacting, he hurriedly caught up. ¡°Hey, hey, Brother Xu, don¡¯t leave.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk. I¡¯ll talk, alright?¡± Zhang Ling had a helpless expression and quickly continued. ¡°The Sea God¡¯s Trident in the Sea God¡¯s Wander should be in a dilapidated state.¡± ¡°However¡­ even so, not many people who have gone in to explore have really seen it.¡± ¡°The news I received was all told to me by a close friend of mine who had entered the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± ¡°He swore that he would only tell me this news. Therefore, this is exclusive information.¡± Zhang Ling¡¯s face was filled with pride. ¡­ ¡°Little Xu, I¡¯ve investigated the news clearly. There are many secret treasures in the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± ¡°The most mysterious and powerful treasure inside now should be the legendary Sea God Poseidon¡¯s weapon, the trident!¡± ¡°Unfortunately, the trident seems to be incomplete.¡± After Xu You brought Zhang Ling back to the villa, he bumped into Old Tame Head and said this to them excitedly. However, Old Tame Head did not see the excited reaction he had imagined. Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Old Tame Head looked at Xu You and asked, ¡°Xu You, why is your reaction so calm?¡± Xu You smiled and shook his head, then looked at the shocked Zhang Ling beside him. For some reason, Xu You had the intention to mock Zhang Ling now. It was mainly because when Zhang Ling said that this was exclusive news, the expression on his face was too annoying. ¡°Tsk tsk, exclusive news? My good friend here made a vicious oath.¡± After saying that, Xu You directly walked in the direction of Old Tame Head, leaving the petrified Zhang Ling on the spot. ¡­ ¡°Hahahahahaha, so that¡¯s what happened. I was wondering why this kid suddenly looked like he had been struck by lightning.¡± Old Tame Head was laughing wildly, but Zhang Ling¡¯s face was filled with depression. Xu You glanced at the two of them with different expressions and could not help but shake his head slightly. As Zhang Ling continuously sent messages of abuse to his best friend, he looked at Old Tame Head gloomily and said, ¡°Even if this is not exclusive, not many people know about this. How did you find out?¡± Old Tame Head glanced at him and chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s a long story.¡± He was about to start recalling his outstanding years, which was basically bragging when Xu You interjected. ¡°He¡¯s been in Jianglin City for decades and has made more friends than anyone you¡¯ve seen. He even knows more mystic realms than you can name.¡± ¡°Of course, you don¡¯t have to be surprised that he knows this.¡± The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ling Lan walking in in a skirt. After walking to the three of them, she sat beside Xu You. From afar, it looked like a mountain range. The mature peaks bloomed with a stunning charm on Ling Lan. The three of them coughed lightly and looked straight ahead. Ling Lan did not care about their reactions and directly placed three tickets in front of them. ¡°The location of the Sea God¡¯s Wander is at the seaside Wang City.¡± ¡°Flying over is the most convenient choice. The ticket I booked is for the day after the auction ends. Do you have anything else to say?¡± Chapter 33 - Departure Chapter 33 Departure Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment and raised his hand. ¡°About that¡­ do you have a boyfriend?¡± Ling Lan raised her chin at Xu You, ¡°Can¡¯t you see?¡± Xu You rolled his eyes and could not be bothered to pay attention to the two of them. He picked up his plane ticket and returned to his room. The next afternoon after Zhang Ling officially joined the Dragon Soul Team, the auction ended. The price of those things was also slightly higher than the Dragon Soul Team and the auction house had expected. 3.3 billion. This was the total price of those things after they were auctioned. However, although the total price was high, the proportion distributed by everyone did not change. They still distributed the money according to the ratio they had discussed previously. At the hotel beside Ling Lan¡¯s villa. Chen Gui sat on her bed with a serious expression. Her gaze was like a falcon staring at its prey. The location she had locked onto was opposite her bed¡­ On a television screen. At this moment, on the television screen, a cartoon gray cat was chasing an orange mouse. The little mouse seemed to be very wise, brushing the cat that should have been a hunter around. Chen Gui¡¯s body also swayed with the movements of the cat and mouse in the animation. After a few minutes, the episode ended. Rubbing the space between her eyebrows, Chen Gui¡¯s expression softened and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile. ¡°This cat is really stupid.¡± After sighing, Chen Gui looked at a building not far away from the window. She remembered Xu You had told her that that was where he lived. ¡°Now¡­ my mood is a little better.¡± ¡°We¡¯re about a hundred kilometers away from the location of the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll have to rent a car for the remaining distance.¡± At the Wang City Airport. After the four of them got off the plane, Ling Lan quickly gave the exact distance and location. ¡°That¡¯s a seaside area. There¡¯s already a restriction order. Only mutants with strength above B-rank can approach that area.¡± Regarding Ling Lan¡¯s words, the others did not have any special reaction. Apart from Old Tame Head who was an A-rank mutant, the other three could basically be considered S-rank mutants. It was impossible for people of such strength to be limited by these rules. After Ling Lan finished speaking, Zhang Ling could not help but rub the space between her eyebrows. ¡°Those people are really something. What¡¯s the use of making such a restriction? They¡¯ll still go if they have to. It¡¯s impossible to convince someone who¡¯s prepared to die.¡± In fact, there had never been a lack of people in this world who risked their lives for huge benefits. Before this, Xu You had heard many times that there were C-rank or B-rank mutants who forcefully barged into an S-rank mystic realm in order to reach the heavens in a single step and end up giving up their lives. One had to know that Ling Lan was an S-rank mutant previously, but the first time she looked for Xu You to enter the mystic realm, she only entered an A-rank Fallen City. In fact, most mutants would choose to explore a mystic realm one level lower than them or of the same level. For example, since the three of them were S-rank, the mystic realm they chose could only be S-rank at best. As for those who went to explore the tougher mystic realms, the final result was basically the same. They were either confirmed dead or missing. Hmm¡­ this was a better way to put it. To put it bluntly, there was no corpse left. Thinking of this, Xu You could not help but shake his head slightly. After this, the four of them did not continue to chat. Instead, they directly drove in the direction of the Sea God¡¯s Wander as they had discussed. ¡°No¡­ why do you want me to drive?¡± Zhang Ling¡¯s face was filled with complaints as he shook his head. Ling Lan looked up at him and said, ¡°Old Tame Head wants to read the documents and information to see if there are any problems that we can¡¯t resolve.¡± ¡°I want to contact an acquaintance to confirm the situation in the Sea God¡¯s Wander. I also want to confirm the exact location of the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± As she spoke, Ling Lan glanced at Xu You. After a pause, she said, ¡°Xu You needs to rest.¡± Zhang Ling wanted to say something but hesitated. He could not help but sigh, but he did not say anything. He knew that his performance in the Fallen City had indeed disappointed the Dragon Soul Team. Therefore, he still needed to use his actions to win their trust. ¡°Runner Zhang, pass me the key beside you.¡¯ Old Tame Head¡¯s voice suddenly sounded, causing Zhang Ling to roll his eyes. ¡°Old Tame Head, that¡¯s enough!¡± Runner Zhang was a nickname that Old Tame Head suddenly thought of when he was eating. The three of them felt that it was quite appropriate, so they kept it. About an hour later, the Dragon Soul Team had already driven from the bustling city to the seaside. The blue sky and seawater intertwined. From time to time, seagulls would pass by outside the window. After Xu You opened the window, the slightly salty sea breeze blew into the car through the window. It brought about a slightly fresh seawater smell, causing Xu You to unconsciously narrow his eyes. ¡°Wow¡­ I haven¡¯t been to the seaside in a long time. It¡¯s still very satisfying to occasionally enjoy the sea breeze!¡± Zhang Ling turned his gaze to the window and received a knock on the head from Ling Lan. ¡°Focus on driving!¡± Zhang Ling was in pain and immediately turned around to drive seriously. Xu You looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed slightly. In fact, he had only recalled it now. This seemed to be the first time he had come to look at the sea in his two lives. Then, just as Xu You was immersed in the scenery outside the window, he suddenly noticed something. Frowning, Xu You turned around and stared at the sea not far away. There, something seemed to be surging. As the vehicle continuously pushed forward, the scenery on the sea became clearer. Then, Xu You saw it. In the distant sky, there was a huge cloud. The cloud was continuously tilting the water, looking like a huge waterfall. This scene naturally attracted the attention of the others in the car. Ling Lan frowned and glanced at her phone, then at the huge waterfall falling from the clouds. The expression on her face changed slightly. ¡°That should be the entrance to the Sea God¡¯s Wander!¡± Hearing Ling Lan¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s expression changed slightly. After reacting, Old Tame Head was the first to say, ¡°Then how do we go over?¡± Chapter 34 - Entrance Chapter 34 Entrance Hearing this question, Ling Lan first glanced at Old Tame Head, then raised her chin at the coast not far away. ¡°Do you see those yachts?¡± Old Tame Head was first slightly stunned, then nodded. ¡°I saw it. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you very rich now? Can¡¯t you just buy one and go?¡± Old Tame Head¡¯s pupils constricted, and the expression on his face was visibly pained. ¡°This¡­ can I not buy it? I¡¯ve only come to the sea this once. It must cost a lot of money to buy a yacht, right?¡± ¡°If I really buy this, it¡¯ll be so extravagant and wasteful.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard of the price of a yacht. That¡¯s¡­¡± Before Old Tame Head could finish speaking, Ling Lan raised her hand at him and pointed helplessly at the yacht by the coast. ¡°Those yachts can all be rented. Now that the Sea God¡¯s Wander has appeared, there are specially people doing this business.¡± ¡°If you rent it once, it¡¯s only 100,000 dollars.¡± When Old Tame Head heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed. Although it still sounded very expensive, when compared to the cost of buying a yacht, it was already very cheap. Moreover, under normal circumstances, renting a yacht was far from so much money. However, considering that this yacht was going to take them to an S-rank mystic realm, 100,000 dollars was indeed not very expensive. Soon, the four of them arrived at the shore. As Ling Lan had said, many yachts on the coast had rental signs. As for the price, it was the same as what Ling Lan had said. 100,000 dollars per trip. After Old Tame Head paid, the group quickly boarded the yacht. The person guarding the ship was a young man. After everyone boarded the ship and paid, his attitude immediately became enthusiastic. After instructing the staff to drive the ship, the dark-skinned young man quickly walked to the four of them. ¡°Are you planning to travel to the Sea God¡¯s Wander?¡± Zhang Ling glanced at him and said angrily, ¡°Why else would we come to your yacht that costs 100,000 dollars per trip?¡± The young man did not mind Zhang Ling¡¯s tone and chuckled, ¡°Customer, don¡¯t be so angry.¡± ¡°In the past few days, I¡¯ve received many guests who have gone back and forth to the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± ¡°Of course¡­ Overall, there are much fewer people returning than going.¡± Zhang Ling glanced at him and did not speak. Old Tame Head walked to the dark-skinned young man¡¯s side with a bottle of water. After handing the water over, he asked, ¡°Little brother, how should I address you?¡± When the dark-skinned young man heard this, he chuckled and took a sip of water. Only then did he wipe the corner of his mouth and say, ¡°Just call me Wang Meng.¡± The old man nodded and asked, ¡°You just said that you¡¯ve also received guests who have returned from the Sea God¡¯s Wander, right?¡± Wang Meng nodded. ¡°Where did those people basically appear? The entrance?¡± When Wang Meng heard this question, he almost subconsciously frowned. Then, he shook his head and said, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s a living person or a dead person, those who come out basically float up from the bottom of the sea.¡± ¡°According to them, after they walked out of the exit of the Sea God¡¯s Wander, what they saw was endless darkness and deep seawater.¡± ¡°Ordinary people would not have thought that they would appear at the bottom of the sea. Therefore, I estimate that many corpses that floated up might have died in the sea.¡± Wang Meng paused for a moment and chuckled, ¡°However, I reckon that there should be much more people dead than I saw.¡± ¡°After all, if people die at the bottom of the sea, who knows which sea they will float to in the end?¡± Old Tame Head frowned and hurriedly asked, ¡°What about those living people?¡± Wang Meng thought for a moment before continuing, ¡°The living told me that when they sneaked up from the bottom of the sea, they seemed to be attracted by an inexplicable force.¡± ¡°They could not resist that feeling. Coupled with their eagerness to survive at that time, they could not be bothered to resist. Therefore, the location they floated up would basically not be too far away from the entrance of the Sea God¡¯s Wander.¡± Hearing this, Old Tame Head turned to look at the other three people of the Dragon Soul Team. The expressions of Xu You and the other two were slightly serious. The information they had previously inquired about was basically the situation inside the Sea God¡¯s Wander. They had really not asked carefully about the exit. They were almost harmed by their own assumptions. In the past, as long as one walked out of the exit of most mystic realms, it basically represented safety. However, the exit of the Sea God¡¯s Wander was actually such a terrifying one. It was actually at the bottom of the sea. Xu You thought of something and subconsciously asked, ¡°Right, how far is the bottom of the sea from the surface?¡± Wang Meng glanced at him and chuckled, ¡°This is the coast so it¡¯s only a few thousand meters.¡± When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and their expressions changed slightly. A few thousand meters¡­ this was not easy. Wang Meng observed everyone¡¯s expressions for a moment and seemed to have thought of something. He said, ¡°Hmm¡­ but if you think the situation here is too dangerous, I can send you back.¡± ¡°I can give you a 30% discount after sending you back this time. I¡¯ll charge you a total of 170,000 dollars. How about it?¡± When Zhang Ling heard this, he could not help but ask again. ¡°Your business is really profitable. You can earn 170,000 dollars after running the yacht for an hour.¡± Wang Meng chuckled, ¡°Brother, your words are a little wrong.¡± ¡°In my situation, I¡¯m also risking my life to earn a living, right? Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°If anything happens to this mystic realm, as the driver, I have to die with you.¡± After a slight pause, Wang Meng looked at the people in the venue and continued to probe, ¡°How is it? Do you want to consider sending you back?¡± Of course, no one replied to Wang Meng¡¯s words. The exit was at the bottom of the sea, so this matter was indeed a little dangerous. However, to the Dragon Soul Team, it was actually not too ridiculous. Ling Lan was still relatively good at creating domains. The domain created by an S-rank mutant could also resist the pressure of the sea. Of course, the only problem was¡­ At that time, could Ling Lan leave the mystic realm in a good condition? If she could not maintain the domain, it would be quite dangerous for them to walk out of the exit. Hmm¡­ to be precise, it was Old Tame Head¡¯s situation that would become quite dangerous. Xu You himself had enough methods to protect himself, but it would be a little difficult to protect others. As for Zhang Ling¡­ looking at his relaxed expression, he probably did not mind this so-called dangerous exit. Chapter 35 - Picturesque Chapter 35 Picturesque After the yacht approached the waterfall, everyone could clearly see it. Where the waterfall landed on the sea, there was a trident-like entrance that was shining with a dazzling light. Everyone took a deep breath and packed their things before preparing to leave. At this moment, Wang Meng made his last attempt at convincing them. ¡°Are you really not considering going back?¡± No one replied. Or rather, their response was to jump into the water one by one. Zhang Ling was the first to jump into the water. Immediately after, Old Tame Head was directly sent into the entrance of the Sea God¡¯s Wander by Xu You and Ling Lan. The two of them fell into the water without causing any splash. Instead, the trident-like entrance flickered twice. Clearly, the two of them had officially entered the Sea God¡¯s Wander. Xu You tilted his head to look at Ling Lan and saw that she had also turned to look at him. The two of them looked at each other. Ling Lan nodded at him and jumped into the entrance. Xu You was the last to enter. Looking at the entrance of the trident in front of him, Xu You¡¯s heart subconsciously burned. He did not know why, but every time he entered the mystic realm, his mood would subconsciously become restless. Beside him, Wang Meng thought that he was suddenly afraid at the last minute and hurriedly said, ¡°Brother, if you¡¯re afraid, I can send you back alone.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a discount. How about 50,000 dollars? Moreover, it¡¯s not that I want to say this, but it¡¯s really quite dangerous down here. Countless people have died now.¡± ¡°If you continue like this, I reckon it¡¯s no different from courting death. Your friends are probably blinded by benefits.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t send them off with them. I¡¯ll send you back. How about it?¡± Xu You glanced at Wang Meng indifferently and suddenly smiled. ¡°This trip to the Sea God¡¯s Wander was actually my decision.¡± With that said, Xu You directly jumped into the Sea God¡¯s Wander, leaving behind a stunned Wang Meng. Seeing Xu You¡¯s figure flash with light and disappear from the entrance, Wang Meng could not help but shake his head. ¡°Damn, no wonder they say that the purer they look, the more¡­ This person who looks the calmest is actually the craziest.¡± Wang Meng could not help but shake his head. Thinking of this, he simply sat on the deck and rested for about ten minutes before calming down. Then, just as he was about to let the staff on the ship return, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that something seemed to be flying towards him from the sky not far away. It seemed to be¡­ a huge bird? Wang Meng was not sure and subconsciously shifted his gaze to look in that direction. Then, his pupils suddenly constricted. What did he see? A figure that was clearly human was approaching him at a terrifying speed. For a moment, Wang Meng felt that he (she) might be coming for him. ¡®No, I only received a little more money. Moreover, this is also the market price. There¡¯s no need to take revenge like this, right?¡¯ When this thought reached here, Wang Meng finally saw it clearly. The figure flying towards him in midair was a woman. It was even a rather exquisite and beautiful woman. Wang Meng even felt that the woman in midair was even more beautiful than the extremely charming woman on the ship. At this moment, Wang Meng was suddenly not so afraid. Then, he saw this figure pass his yacht at an exaggerated speed and plunge into the passageway of the sea. From the beginning to the end, she did not even look at Wang Meng. Looking at the Sea God¡¯s Wander that had already calmed down, Wang Meng opened his mouth and hesitated. Rubbing his glabella, Wang Meng had a headache. He did not know how to describe his current mood. Shaking his head, Wang Meng muttered to himself, ¡°The world of these people is really different from mine.¡± As he spoke, Wang Meng quickly adjusted his mentality. He looked up with a brilliant smile and shouted at the bow, ¡°Return!¡± This time, Xu You did not experience the same situation as the previous Fallen City. After entering the Sea God¡¯s Wander, there was no dizziness. After landing, he immediately saw the other three people who had entered the sea first. After seeing Xu You, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Xu You first called out to the three of them. After confirming that they were fine, he raised his head to look at the scene in front of him. The place where the four of them were should be the periphery of a huge palace. The building in front of him looked grand and gave people a shocking feeling. The huge stone pillar towered into the clouds as if it was holding up the entire Water Palace. Just as Xu You was a little shocked by the magnificent building in front of him, Zhang Ling suddenly turned around and stared behind him. Xu You frowned slightly and turned to look behind him in confusion. Then, he saw a scene that shocked him. He should be at the entrance of the Sea God¡¯s Wander Water Palace. Behind him was the deep seabed. Countless fish slid in the surging seawater and spun circles of water. There were many strange-looking fish that Xu You could not name and had never even seen before that continuously swam past him. In front of him was a vast sea and countless fish, but he was stepping on a majestic palace. This extremely strong contrast stunned Xu You for a moment. ¡°Alright, alright. Stop looking.¡± Zhang Ling¡¯s voice sounded, and Xu You recovered from the shock. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The four of them quickly walked into the Water Palace. About half an hour later, the group entered a side hall. Although it was a secondary hall, the scale of the building was still quite good. Xu You had to admit that once the rank of the mystic realm increased, the area was indeed not small. For example, the Fallen City from before, and the current Sea God¡¯s Wander Water Palace. Of course, compared to the Fallen City, the Sea God¡¯s Wander Water Palace was still slightly smaller. Xu You roughly estimated that the total area of the Sea God¡¯s Wander Water Palace was probably only about half the main city of the Fallen City. However¡­ for example, the buildings of the Water Palace were denser in the Fallen City. As soon as the group stepped into the secondary hall, the sound of armor quickly sounded. Chapter 36 - Deputy Hall Chapter 36 Deputy Hall Although this was the deputy hall, with a rough glance, the space was at least the size of a square. In the middle was a small stage that was about dozens of square meters. There were two balls of light on it that were shining with a tempting light. Apart from them, there was another group of people in the secondary hall. This was a seven-person team, but the overall strength of the team was much inferior to the Dragon Soul Team. The leader was a bald man. He looked very rough, but a shrewd glint flashed through his eyes from time to time. After seeing the four people of the Dragon Soul Team, they did not have much of a reaction. Instead, they quietly moved their feet to the side. They did not plan to come up and talk, and neither did the four people of the Dragon Soul Team. Their attention was completely focused on the hall not far away. Xu You¡¯s eyes were slightly serious as he looked at the hall not far away. His black eyeballs reflected the mighty armor. Not far away, there were dozens of soldiers wearing neat and solemn armor staring at them without a word. The neat armor gave people an imposing feeling. He gently waved the spear in his hand, raising circles of murderous aura. However, Xu You¡¯s gaze moved up slightly as he stared at the faces of these soldiers. His eyes became even more surprised, and even his expression changed slightly. What was hidden in the armor was not flesh, bones, or ghosts. Instead¡­ water. Yes, all the soldiers under the neat armor were flowing water. The flowing water formed their limbs and torso, as well as their face that could not be seen clearly. Just as Xu You was thinking about how to activate these things, a notification suddenly sounded in his system space. ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an A-rank treasure: Sea Armor.¡± ¡°Sea Armor: Legend has it that in order to forge an invincible army of his own, the Sea God found many ways to forge powerful standard armor in the world. In the end, he created a satisfactory armor for his subordinates.¡± ¡°Sea Armor Skill: Sea God¡¯s Protection. The host can take the initiative to activate the skill of the Sea Armor (Cooldown: 30 minutes) and create a shield that can resist fatal attacks for himself. The highest damage can be endured is the full-strength strike of an S-rank expert.¡¯ Xu You directly skipped the notification of this treasure and looked at the next one. ¡°Congratulations to the host for discovering an S-rank treasure: Sea God¡¯s Spear.¡± ¡°Sea God¡¯s Spear: Legend has it that in order to build an invincible army of his own, the Sea God found many ways to forge powerful standard battle spears in the world. In the end, he created a satisfactory battle spear for his subordinates called the Sea God¡¯s Spear.¡± ¡°Sea God¡¯s Spear Skill: Sea God¡¯s Might. The host can take the initiative to activate the skill of the Sea God¡¯s Spear (Cooldown: 2 hours) and enter a berserk state. Combat strength increases by 50%.¡± ¡°Warning: Guardian discovered, Sea God¡¯s Soldiers.¡± Xu You raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the two rare treasures on it were also matching? One was the Sea God¡¯s Armor, and the other was the Sea God¡¯s Spear. Moreover, it seemed that this matching treasure added up to a considerable increase in a person¡¯s strength. Not to mention anything else, after obtaining these two treasures, he should be able to arm a rather powerful S-rank mutant. When he thought of this, Xu You was slightly tempted. He thought of a candidate, a candidate who was extremely suitable for this Sea God Set. At that time, if he could really obtain these two treasures, his Dragon Soul Team could have another powerful fighter. However¡­ Xu You¡¯s gaze swept across the venue. It was obvious that the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers were extremely threatening, as well as the seven-man team not far away. It seemed to be quite difficult to obtain this set of treasures. The seven-man team was fine, but their overall strength was much inferior to the Dragon Soul team. However, it was different for the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers present. Xu You roughly estimated that there were about 50 Sea God¡¯s Soldiers in the field. Among them, five were clearly different from the other soldiers in terms of equipment and size. Clearly, they were the leaders of these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers. Or rather¡­ elite monsters. ¡°The guardian here seems to be quite strong.¡± ¡°Old Tame Head, observe carefully. Is the treasure there worth us rushing for?¡± Ling Lan glanced at the two circles of light not far away and turned to ask Old Tame Head. Old Tame Head nodded and looked at the stage. After a long time, Old Tame Head frowned slightly and said, ¡°I think we still have to try.¡± ¡°The ball of light on the right has a sharp and full aura, and it¡¯s similar to the aura on Zhang Ling¡¯s body.¡± its ¡°I estimate that this should be an S-rank weapon-type treasure. As for the other one, level might be slightly worse, but it¡¯s not much worse.¡± ¡°The aura of the ball of light is restrained and thick. It¡¯s very likely that it¡¯s a defensive treasure complemented by that S-rank weapon. || Xu You raised his eyebrows and looked at Old Tame Head in surprise. One had to know that he had relied on the system to know the background of the two treasures on the stage. Old Tame Head did not have a system. With just his eyes, he could actually roughly guess the origin and value of the two treasures on the stage. This judgment¡­ was even more exaggerated than what he had heard and understood previously. When Ling Lan and Zhang Ling heard this, the expressions on their faces were slightly excited. The main weapon was an S-rank treasure. They knew very well how valuable it was. It could only be said that the set of treasures on the stage was definitely worth them fighting for with all their might! As Ling Lan thought, she glanced in the direction not far away. There was a seven-person team. ¡°You want the treasure too?¡± Ling Lan¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was enough for those people to hear. When the bald man with the appearance of a captain heard this, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers who did not stir because of Ling Lan¡¯s words. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. Frowning, the bald man glanced at Ling Lan angrily and said, ¡°Whether we can obtain the treasure depends on our own ability.¡± After saying that, he directly discussed it with his team members, as if preparing for the attack later. Seeing this, Ling Lan shrugged. ¡°It seems that they don¡¯t plan to cooperate with us anymore, but it¡¯s fine. This is what I want.¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at the three of them from the Dragon Soul Team and said, ¡°Now, let¡¯s discuss what to do next.¡± Chapter 37 - Elite Monster Chapter 37 Elite Monster When Xu You heard this, he took a step forward and said, ¡°I just observed that the weakest defense of the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers in the entire inner hall is the entrance in the southwest.¡± ¡°If we break out from there, there¡¯s only one elite monster and about ten ordinary soldiers who can stop us.¡± When Ling Lan heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Elite monster?¡± After reacting for a moment, a smile appeared on her face, ¡°This title suits the tall Sea God¡¯s Soldiers very well.¡± Nodding, Xu You continued, ¡°Therefore, breaking out from that direction is our best way to attack.¡± ¡°However¡­ the synergy between these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers seems to be very strong. The Sea God¡¯s Soldiers we face will definitely not be all of them.¡± ¡°Therefore, we have to be prepared at all times to fight those Sea God¡¯s Soldiers.¡± Ling Lan nodded. ¡°Those elite monsters are all S-rank. The other useless soldiers are almost all A-rank existences.¡± ¡°I can at most trap three S-ranks or ten A-ranks at the same time with my illusion.¡± As the two of them spoke, Zhang Ling suddenly shrugged and said, ¡°Just now, I discovered something.¡± Ling Lan and Xu You stared at him and did not speak. Instead, they waited for his next words. ¡°In this hall, these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers seem to have the authority to control the air. Their ability can easily stop the invaders flying in the hall.¡± ¡°Oh, I mean, treasure hunters.¡± When the three of them heard this, they subconsciously looked into the hall. Those Sea God¡¯s Soldiers continuously waved the spears in their hands and threw sharp spear flowers in the air. Those spears had clearly left their hands, but under the guidance of the water, they were controlled like arms. Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and said, ¡°You wanted to fly over just now?¡± Zhang Ling nodded and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so anymore, because I might become a hornet¡¯s nest on the way over.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Xu You said. The three of them quickly followed him and walked towards the entrance in the southwest. During this process, the three of them even passed by the previous seven-man team. However, this seven-person team did not seem to have any intention of talking to them. It was only after he walked up that Xu You discovered something. It seemed that someone in this seven-person team was already injured, and there was more than one. After landing, Zhang Ling clicked her tongue. ¡°No wonder you¡¯re unwilling to cooperate with us. You¡¯re afraid that we¡¯ll take advantage of you.¡± Ling Lan glanced at him and said, ¡°Cut the crap. Watch them more later.¡± Zhang Ling nodded and did not say anything. Xu You naturally knew what Ling Lan meant. These people had clearly tried the treasure here just now, but they returned in failure. However, even so, they still did not give up on the treasure here. Therefore, if the Dragon Soul Team wanted to attack the treasure here, they had to pay attention to this seven-person team. This place was a mystic realm where the strong preyed on the weak after all! ¡°Use your illusion later to restrain those small soldiers to the greatest extent. Leave the elite monster to me and Zhang Ling to deal with.¡± After hearing Xu You¡¯s words, Ling Lan nodded. Seeing her nod, Xu You looked at Zhang Ling. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what treasures you have, this is a mystic realm after all. I don¡¯t want to see you holding back later.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Ling immediately raised his hands with an aggrieved expression. ¡°Oh my god, I don¡¯t have that intention.¡± Xu You did not comment. After that, the three of them quickly rushed toward the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers. Although the southwest was indeed the direction with the least Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, that was only relative. The moment the three of them stepped into the hall, the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers in front of them seemed to have instantly woken up after hearing the summons. Their movements were extremely fast. The Sea God¡¯s Soldiers quickly raised their spears. Their eyes were clearly made of water, but they gave people a murderous feeling. In the next second, they rushed toward the three of them. After seeing this scene, Ling Lan quickly urged her treasure. The thick gray fog enveloped the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers in front of her. This gray fog simply gave people an overwhelming feeling. As for Xu You and Zhang Ling, their vision was not affected by the gray fog at all. Clearly, as the owner of the gray fog, Ling Lan¡¯s control and development of the gray fog were quite high. As for the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers on this path, almost all the A-ranks were enveloped by the gray fog. Only an elite monster was left, blocking Xu You and Zhang Ling¡¯s path. The two of them looked at each other. Zhang Ling was the first to speak, ¡°Break it first?¡± Xu You shook his head, ¡°Someone has to restrain it first. Our goal is not to defeat these guardians, but to snatch the treasure.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Ling raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, the elite monster in front of him had already pounced in his direction. After blocking in a mess, Zhang Ling threw a punch, causing a muffled sound of heavy armor. He frowned and threw a punch at the face of the elite monster in front of him. What stunned Zhang Ling was that his punch seemed to have landed on cotton and directly sank in without any impact. The elite monster in front of him did not seem to be injured. ¡°Damn! This elite monster is a little shameless!¡± Xu You glanced at Zhang Ling who was fighting with the elite monster and directly said, ¡°Hold him back! I¡¯ll go get the treasure!¡± When Zhang Ling heard this, he immediately felt a little miserable. It was one thing for the Sea God soldier to be stronger than him, but he could not cause much damage to it. This feeling was simply too shameful. However, since Xu You had said so, he could only do as he said. Therefore, Zhang Ling helplessly fought this elite monster. Xu You moved quickly. In a posture that continuously shot out, he quickly approached the stage in the middle of the hall. However, just as Xu You was about to approach the stage, he suddenly stopped. In the beginning, there were no Sea God¡¯s Soldiers within a ten-meter radius of the stage. It could be said that this was a vacuum. However, at this moment, two figures appeared in this vacuum. Yes, perhaps they were not human. Looking at the two additional elite monsters in front of him that were clearly far superior to the nearby Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, Xu You rubbed the space between his eyebrows with a headache. Chapter 38 - Opportunity Chapter 38 Opportunity Perhaps the only thing worth rejoicing about was that those small fry soldiers seemed to be unable to enter the core area closest to the treasure. At this moment, they could only stare at the situation inside from outside the core area. Xu You focused his gaze and looked at the two elite monsters in front of him. However, before he could analyze and think, the two elite monsters moved. A sharp spear stabbed toward Xu You. The speed of the two soldiers was very exaggerated. Almost in an instant, they approached Xu You. Then, a spear was aimed at his chest. Xu You¡¯s eyes flashed and he quickly retreated. At the same time, he grabbed the spear and kicked the chest of the soldier in front of him. Bang! After the heavy armor collided, Xu You¡¯s actions did not achieve the effect he had imagined. The spear in the Sea God Soldier¡¯s hand was clenched tightly. Xu You¡¯s actions did not succeed in kicking him down. He simply pulled away. Xu You¡¯s expression became a little heavy. He did not expect the reinforcements of these two elite monsters to arrive so quickly. If not for the other two elite monsters defending their direction, Xu You felt that he only had one choice when facing four S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers. Escape. At this moment, even if he did not have to run away like this, However, it was also not easy to deal with. He needed to think of a way to temporarily restrain the footsteps of the elite monsters. When he thought of this, Xu You could not help but narrow his eyes slightly and look at the stage not far away. The two treasures were emitting their own dazzling light. Xu You took a deep breath and began to urge the power of the Thunder Pearl in his body. However, he was not in a hurry to release it. Instead, while dodging the attacks of the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, he urged the power of the Thunder Pearl. What Xu You wanted to do was to let the power of the Thunder Pearl be released after accumulating to its peak. He used this strike to delay the footsteps of the two S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers before obtaining the treasure. This was the best solution Xu You could think of. However, while doing these things, he needed to dodge the sharp attacks of the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers. This matter still made Xu You feel a little miserable. There were even a few times when Xu You was almost poked by the Sea God Soldier. If not for the fact that the Bottle of Life could provide Xu You with endless energy and stamina, he would probably have been stabbed by the Sea God Soldier under such high pressure. After a few dangerous moments, Xu You finally accumulated the power of his Thunder Pearl to its peak. Then¡­ just as the two S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers attacked together again. Xu You suddenly raised his head. The power of the Thunder Pearl that had accumulated to the limit in his body instantly surged out from his actions. Boom! The dazzling silver-white lightning was like a ferocious beast as it suddenly rushed towards the Sea God Soldier from Xu You¡¯s body. At this moment, Xu You slipped and his body stiffened. Xu You¡¯s pupils constricted slightly as he cursed in his mind. He had never tried to throw out such a powerful attack from the Thunder Pearl at once. It was also because of this that the moment that force was thrown out of his body, he felt a moment of weakness, and his movements froze. Originally, he had imagined that after throwing out this Thunder Pearl, he would directly dodge the stabs of the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers. However, from the looks of it¡­ it would probably be a little difficult. Xu You frowned. After subconsciously looking up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The lightning that rushed toward the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers like a ferocious beast erupted with an extremely terrifying silver-white lightning the moment it touched him. The hall was as bright as day at this moment. The deep seabed seemed to be illuminated by this light. After the dazzling lightning touched the Sea God Soldier, it did not weaken. On the contrary, after it came into contact with the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, it quickly began to flow through their bodies at an extremely exaggerated speed! Xu You clearly saw that these lightning bolts were borrowing the bodies of these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers¡­ which was the water that formed their bodies, to continuously spread and flow! At this moment, these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers were like gods that had descended from the sky. The lightning on their bodies was dazzling, if one ignored their trembling bodies because of the numbness of the lightning. Xu You looked at the spear that was only ten centimeters away from him and heaved a sigh of relief. Standing up, he looked at the Sea God Soldier who was already immobilized by his lightning. Xu You could not help but raise his eyebrows. The power of the Thunder Pearl¡­ seemed to have a different restraining effect on these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers? The others in the venue were also a little frightened by this scene. Old Tame Head was originally smoking, but when he saw this scene, the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, and his face filled with shock. Ling Lan was a little stunned. She looked at Xu You¡¯s firm back and the light in her beautiful eyes flickered. Zhang Ling, who had been poked by the spear of the Sea God¡¯s Soldier, cried out at this moment, ¡°Brother Xu, save me!¡± Xu You glanced at him. Although he was shouting happily, he was actually quite skilled, so he had no intention of paying attention to him. When the seven-man team in the hall saw this scene, they suddenly widened their eyes in shock. An injured person opened his mouth and looked at this scene in disbelief. Rubbing his eyes and confirming that Xu You was still approaching the stage, he could not help but turn to look at the most knowledgeable captain in his team. ¡°Captain¡­ what was that just now? Could he¡­ be the Thunder God?¡± The bald captain glanced at his shocked team members and could not help but shake his head slightly. ¡°This person¡¯s strength¡­ is a little terrifying.¡± In fact, when they first broke through to the treasure, the seven-man team set off together. However, in the end, they only faced an S-rank elite monster and were all defeated. Not only that, there were even a few people who were quite injured. From that moment on, they roughly understood. They probably would not have anything to do with the treasure in this mystic realm anymore. However, even if they knew what reality was like, with two such precious and powerful treasures in front of them, how could they bear to leave? Therefore, they stayed here and waited for an opportunity. Chapter 39 - Danger Chapter 39 Danger Now, after seeing Xu You brazenly attack and electrocute two S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers with a single strike, how could they not be shocked? ¡°What strength do you think that person has? How can he deal with two S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers so easily?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Just now, the seven of us were all beaten up by an S-rank.¡± ¡°Can you not mention this? Aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± ¡°In any case, this person¡¯s strength is unquestionable. No wonder those two people clearly look very powerful, but they still rely on him as their backbone.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. With such strength, I feel that we really can¡¯t fight them for these treasures, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If the Sea God¡¯s Wander is filled with such ferocious people, I think we should just leave and save some stamina. At that time, we still have to dive up from the bottom of the sea.¡± ¡­ Xu You glanced at the two S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers in front of him. After confirming that they could not move at all, he rushed onto the stage. It was not easy to deal with these two soldiers. He did not want any accidents to happen. Otherwise, in his current state, he could not use the full-strength strike of the Thunder Pearl. After approaching the stage, Xu You directly raised his hand and put away the two treasures. The moment he obtained the treasure, all the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers in the hall instantly fell into a berserk state. All the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers rushed towards Xu You. Even the Sea God soldier who was originally fighting Zhang Ling had abandoned him at this moment and suddenly rushed towards Xu You. Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling actually felt a little lost. However, he quickly did not have the time to grieve. This was because he had also seen the scene of all the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers pouncing in Xu You¡¯s direction. Zhang Ling¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she could not help but swallow. ¡°Brother Xu¡­ this is too fierce.¡± ¡°We have to think of a way to let him leave such a place.¡± Ling Lan had already appeared beside Zhang Ling. After muttering softly, Zhang Ling nodded in agreement. ¡°Brother Xu is really in danger this time. Sister Ling Lan, why don¡¯t you directly cover it with the gray fog?¡± When Ling Lan heard this, she frowned, but she did not respond immediately. These Sea God¡¯s Soldiers were all very powerful and she was only an S-rank mutant. If she chose to cover them all, the effect would definitely be much worse. It was even very likely that the gray fog could not envelop everyone. However¡­ if there was indeed no other solution later, this was indeed their last resort. The two of them looked very worried. At this moment, Old Tame Head, who was at the side, had already taken out a turtle shell and started to throw it. He was even muttering something. While they were doing this, the seven-man team not far away had serious expressions. ¡°Brother, you really can¡¯t leave this time, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. So many Sea God¡¯s Soldiers surrounded him, and he can¡¯t choose to leave through the air.¡± ¡°Moreover, we can¡¯t dig underground. We¡¯ve all tried just now. Isn¡¯t it impossible to dig at all?¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, in other words, this brother is completely unable to escape this danger now.¡± ¡°Yes, his best choice now is to throw out the treasure and use his life to exchange for two treasures.¡± The attitudes of the people outside the arena were a little pessimistic. There were even people who felt that Xu You would definitely die this time. There were about 30 to 40 Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, and three of them were S-rank! With such a force, it would probably not be a problem to gang up on an SS-rank mutant. Although Xu You looked powerful, he was not at the SS-rank yet. Therefore¡­ it was basically hopeless. Just as everyone¡¯s thoughts were a little pessimistic, Xu You, who was surrounded, had a very calm expression. He was not as pessimistic and negative as he should be after being surrounded. Instead, he looked a little excited. This was because just now, he discovered that the Bottle of Life in his body had suddenly injected abundant stamina and power into his body. The power of the Thunder Pearl, which had almost been exhausted by his strike just now, became filled after this. Then, just as everyone at the side thought that Xu You was going to be stabbed to death by the spear of the Sea God¡¯s Soldier and even Ling Lan was about to attack, with Xu You¡¯s location as the center, an extremely dazzling lightning bolt suddenly erupted. It was different from the vast lightning that had materialized like a ferocious beast just now. This time, the lightning was more like a dense electric net that pounced at the surrounding Sea God¡¯s Soldiers. The moment it touched these Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, this electric net instantly erupted. Lightning flashed. The moment it touched the bodies of the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers, the lightning immediately became stronger due to their water bodies. Then, it quickly spread in all directions. Every time the lightning touched a Sea God¡¯s Soldier, his body would be paralyzed by the effect of the lightning. In the end, a rather strange scene formed. All the Sea God¡¯s Soldiers froze on the spot. Their bodies were implicated by the lightning. Even the three S-rank Sea God¡¯s Soldiers were no exception. It was as if a huge fishing net had caught a large number of fish. This scene shocked everyone inside and outside the venue. Xu You took this opportunity to shoot out from the spot and quickly arrive at the edge of the hall. Ling Lan looked at him, unable to hide the shock on her face. Zhang Ling even pounced over and looked at Xu You with an expression of looking at a rare animal. Old Tame Head put away the turtle shell and clicked his tongue, ¡°My calculations are quite accurate. After a sense of danger, there will be no fatal threats left.¡± Xu You glanced at the three of them who had different reactions and directly handed the treasure in his hand to Ling Lan, ¡°These lightning nets can only trap them for a minute at most. Hurry up and retreat.¡± Hearing this, the three of them agreed. The seven-person team over there was originally looking at Xu You as if he was a god descending to the mortal world. After hearing this, he immediately reacted and hurriedly retreated out of the hall. However, they hesitated for a moment and did not return the way they came. Instead, they followed Xu You. Chapter 40 - Dragon Soul Team? What a Handsome Name Chapter 40 Dragon Soul Team? What a Handsome Name After the four of them walked out of the hall, they originally wanted to check the treasure they had obtained. However, just as he walked out of the hall and was about to count his gains, Ling Lan stopped. She turned around and looked warily at the seven-person team that had appeared behind her. The other three people in the Dragon Soul Team were the same. Xu You looked at the bald leader with calm eyes. In Xu You¡¯s opinion, this baldy should be the only person in this seven-person team who could pose a threat to them. Therefore, looking after this baldy, the remaining six people in the seven-man team were basically not a threat. After the seven-person team walked over, the first to speak was not the bald captain, but a handsome young man beside him. This person looked at Xu You excitedly, his eyes filled with admiration. ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re really strong! Can I get to know you?¡± When Xu You heard this, he frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Ling Lan. The two of them looked at each other and understood what each other meant. This kid chased over with his team just to say this? ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu You asked directly. His tone was not too polite, but the young man did not mind. Instead, he introduced himself happily. ¡°My name is Bai Xin. I¡¯m 22 years old this year and am an A-rank mutant. My treasures can strengthen my upper limbs and allow me to fly for a few kilometers at a time, and it¡¯s the kind that carries people.¡± Xu You frowned and glanced at Bai Xin, who was smiling innocently. He was not too sure if the person in front of him was lying to him or was really a little stupid. However, in the next second, he confirmed that the person in front of him was really stupid. The bald captain¡¯s pupils constricted, and he suddenly knocked the top of Bai Xin¡¯s head with his hammer, ¡°I told you not to be so friendly and not expose your secrets easily!¡± Bai Xin hugged his head in grievance and retorted, ¡°But with the strength of this big brother¡¯s team, it doesn¡¯t matter if he knows what my treasure ability is.¡± ¡°If he wants to defeat us, we can¡¯t resist, Big Brother.¡± The bald captain choked and sighed helplessly. ¡°Is this person your new fan?¡± Zhang Ling walked to Xu You¡¯s side and sighed. Hearing this, Xu You could not help but shake his head slightly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? If you¡¯re only here to tell us this, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for me to continue staying.¡± Hearing this, Bai Xin was just about to speak when the bald captain stopped him and said, ¡°The reason why we chased after you is mainly to ask if our two teams can join forces in this mystic realm. We¡¯ll be your subsidiary team.¡± After a pause, the bald captain continued. ¡°You¡¯re very strong. I have to admit that this is also the reason why we came.¡± ¡°At the same time, I feel that you should also need some assistants to resolve minor problems for you.¡± ¡°At that time, the ratio of discoveries and gains in the mystic realm can also be lower than ordinary subsidiary teams.¡± Xu You frowned slightly when he heard this. He naturally knew what a subsidiary team was. Generally speaking, once some exploration teams entered the mystic realm and discovered that the danger in the mystic realm far exceeded their imagination, they would choose a powerful team and become their subsidiary team to help resolve some small problems for their safety and certain benefits. Generally speaking, the ratio of gains obtained by the subsidiary team would be 10% of the gains in that exploration. The ratio was very low. This was undeniable. However, since they had already chosen to become a subsidiary team, it meant that they were not confident in clearing this mystic realm. Therefore, 10% was actually acceptable. After Zhang Ling heard these words, she turned around and walked to Old Tame Head¡¯s side before starting to chat about the mystic realm this time. He and Old Tame Head knew very well that their opinions were actually not very important in such a critical decision. The main decision still depended on Xu You and Ling Lan¡¯s will. Xu You rubbed the space between his eyebrows and turned to look at Ling Lan. The two of them looked at each other for a moment and understood the meaning in each other¡¯s eyes. Therefore, Xu You turned to look at the seven-man team and slowly spoke under their expectant gazes. ¡°I reject.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Bai Xin shouted excitedly. Then, he slowly reacted and turned to look at Xu You in a daze. ¡°Ah? Big¡­ Big Brother, did you reject us just now?¡± Bai Xin was in disbelief. Under normal circumstances, if a team chose to become their subsidiary team, stronger teams would usually not reject it. Due to the low status of the subsidiary team, many dirty and tiring work could be handed to them. In fact, a team without a conscience could even let their subsidiary team die for them. Therefore, most teams would not choose a subsidiary team that came knocking on their door. It was also because of this that Bai Xin was so surprised after hearing Xu You¡¯s rejection. Xu You nodded when he heard this. ¡°Yes, I rejected you.¡± ¡°Your strength is not bad, I admit that. However, in the Sea God¡¯s Wander, you¡¯re not good enough.¡± ¡°In my opinion, our current team composition is perfect. There¡¯s no need for a subsidiary team.¡± Hearing this, Bai Xin became a little anxious. ¡°However, don¡¯t you think we can occasionally help you at critical moments?¡± Xu You glanced at him and shook his head. ¡°Do you think you can help me with the situation in the inner hall just now?¡± Bai Xin choked. As Xu You spoke, he turned to leave. However, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and turned around. ¡°I suggest that you hurry up and leave the Sea God¡¯s Wander after letting these people recover a little.¡± ¡°If you continue to explore the Sea God¡¯s Wander, I feel that other than your captain, you shouldn¡¯t be able to walk out.¡± With that, Xu You turned around and left. The three of them quickly followed. Bai Xin stood on the spot and watched Xu You gradually leave. He could not help but shout, ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re really handsome and strong! What¡¯s your name?!¡± Of course, Xu You heard his shout, but he had no intention of answering. Zhang Ling glanced at him and chuckled before turning to shout at Bai Xin. ¡°His name is Xu You, and my name is Zhang Ling. We¡¯re the Dragon Soul Team! Remember this!¡± Bai Xin nodded subconsciously. ¡°Xu You¡­ Brother Xu. Dragon Soul Team? What a handsome name. As expected of Brother Xu¡¯s team.¡± ¡°Zhang¡­ right, what¡¯s his name again?¡±
