Chapter 312: Chapter 66: Burning the Evil Buddha, The Advancing Tai Chu! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3

[You encountered a few low-level monsters, they started chasing you, but you went all out, charging like a mad bull, and listened to the sounds of crashing through the woods. Why not chant and rush forward?]

[After covering 16 kilometers, you finally encountered higher-order monsters.]

Swish!

In front of Xu Shu, a scene suddenly appeared.

It was a clearing in the forest, next to a small hillside, where a group of humans was gathered, obviously part of a pioneering team, in a dire situation, with severed limbs and flesh scattered everywhere, surrounded by broken weapons and cannons.

A woman dressed in the robe of a nun from the Starry Church, with a powerful aura, presumably a "Fallen Nun," possibly even a third-order "Enchanting Demon," was impaled by slimy tentacles, lifted mid-air, and being violated.

Wrapped around her, pink and light green healing lights lingered, but they were insufficient to save herself. From her mouth came almost unconscious, bellows-like sounds, her eyes rolling back, as the essence of her life was continually stripped away.

Next to her was a sturdy middle-aged man, who had lost the lower half of his body, his aura lingering on death. Countless unknown insects were gnawing at him. He convulsed while desperately reaching out to his teammates, screaming in agony and madness, "Beasts... despicable bastards... don’t... treat her like this... Ahhh~"

Xu Shu immediately stopped in his tracks.

The scene before him, filled with horrifying and disastrous battle damage, clearly indicated— this Transcendent pioneering team had failed.

They had encountered a formidable enemy and were annihilated here.

"Second or even third-order human Transcendents, once they leave the border, also end up like this..." Xu Shu’s gaze sharpened.

[The third-order Enchanting Demon nun being manipulated by the monster looked fiercely at you: "Save... save me... First Rank? You come, what are you... doing here... don’t just stand... run..."]

[Realizing your lack of ability, the hope that ignited in her eyes turned into despair, but she still told you to run, what a kindly foolish heart—joking, run? You’ve come all this way, can you even escape?]

[Crack!]

[Giant teeth tore open one of the nun’s white thighs, the tear so large that even her intestines spilled out into the mouth of the monster with an octopus head, yet she couldn’t die immediately and continued to wail.]

[The third-order pioneering team was shattered here, and you, even weaker in front of them, had nonetheless attracted attention.]

[In the darkness, eyes connected with blood vessels floated around like dandelion eggs, with slime dripping to the ground and creating corrosive holes, able to drive those with trypophobia insane.]

[It silently watched you.]

[You silently watched it.]

[Your eyes burst open, becoming its eyes.]

[This was an enemy you were completely incapable of resisting, you couldn’t even glimpse its full extent, but no worries, the Tai Chu Scroll translated it for you, this turned out to be a fourth-order creature, its name: Plastic Surgery Monster.]

["What a shitty name, and it’s fourth-order, damn." You didn’t die immediately, you pulled out a bottle of pure water, handed it to the woman enduring humiliation and torture, and said blurrily, "This is all I can do for you, drink this, and you shall end your suffering, although this can only happen in a non-existent future."]

[Through tear-blurred eyes, she looked at you, not understanding what you were saying, but still gasped in pain and managed a ’thank you,’ then drank it in one gulp, dying swiftly—such is the charm of epic self-cutting of meridians.]

[Losing its toy, the powerful Plastic Surgery Monster suddenly took a formal interest in you, for it, any human has holes for it to enter and exit, regardless of gender, at most you’re missing a couple.]

[Now it was your turn to be violated by it. Very well, doing good deeds, hehehe, its several thick tentacles, ready to penetrate deep into your...]

[Eh? It didn’t succeed, because you also drank a bottle of self-cutting of meridians, truly a disappointing end.]

[At the same time, you threw the last bottle at it, staring with bloodied eye sockets and asked with a grin, "Would you like a cup too?"]

[You died, the journey ends with this expedition, calculating...]

[Evaluation: The world is so vast, you wanted to see it, saw it, and then passed away. This was your furthest time from the border line, and your closest to becoming a Star Rage Power, your decisiveness saved you while you allowed some to momentarily escape the bitter sea, and the price was your death.]

[You obtained an item: Boundless Love (Excellent)!]

[Boundless Love (Excellent): After using this powder, everyone around will know you are truly a person of great love, they will adore you immensely, until the effects wear off.]

[Today’s opening count: 0/3]

...

"Sss~ This is what lies beyond the border lines! This is the wilderness! A third-order pioneering team, with such strong members, being toyed and slaughtered like chicks! And it’s only a few kilometers away."

Inside the hotel, Xu Shu opened his eyes and took several deep breaths forcefully.

This death had actually been very painful, as he had died from drinking "Self-cutting Meridians (Epic)," but the discomfort was more like brain hypoxia, stemming from a sense of mental disorientation.

After all, a whole day had already passed during the journey, yet upon opening his eyes, he found himself having to start everything all over again.

The Little Yin God, which he had already devoured, was now extremely obediently starting to dress in her ruffled short skirt and clothes, coquettishly saying, "Okay, husband, I’ll wait for you."

This kind of action, the feeling that the life-and-death experiences had turned into an illusionary bubble,

coupled with the shock of witnessing a leader among his kind being tortured,

was a tremendous psychological pressure for most people.

Some might even start to doubt themselves and never recover.

Fortunately, Xu Shu had already developed a resistance.

While others might fall into despair, Xu Shu, on the other hand, formed an even stronger determination.

If he didn’t want to end up like those Third Rank Pioneers, he needed to grasp greater power.

"Unfortunately, though I escorted them through the journey, in reality, they still have to face calamity, and that’s something I can’t change. This is called the helplessness of life. After all, I’m only First Rank, haha... uh... hmm?"

Xu Shu shook his head with a bitter smile, still feeling somewhat frustrated when suddenly his expression froze.

Change?

Calculating the time, that team would still be tortured around five-thirty, so they probably haven’t entered this place yet.

"Could it be?"

A thought suddenly struck Xu Shu, lighting up his eyes.

He put the matter aside for the moment and quickly attended to his own important matters.

First step, go to the first floor and blast all the deep-sea shrimp dressed in human skin.

Second step, kill Octopus Brother with three punches to obtain a large chunk of level 15 blue crystal.

Third step, burn the Paper Mache Buddha, then go upstairs and integrate student Xiao Ai into the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin family.

This whole process took less than an hour.

Xu Shu did not speak a word throughout, but he did not miss out on any information he wanted.

This was the confidence given to him by the Tai Chu Scroll.

Then, of course, he was still very kind-hearted, cremated the victims, took his "earned wages," and headed north.

Around eleven in the morning, Xu Shu calculated that the time was almost right and finally opened the upgrade network.

*Upgrade network

*Gu Pan (Tai Chu)

*Contribution: 155

[Curse Seal: Warrior (Legendary) // Level: 17/20]

—

Xu Shu changed his nickname, organized his language slightly, and then quickly typed and clicked to send on the world channel.

The next moment, a conspicuous post appeared on the world channel.

[Unlucky! Today at the eastern border of area D8B3, I lost a just-promoted Fourth-order Plastic Surgery Monster, got no time to look for it, oh well, your gain.] —Tai Chu!
