Chapter 451: Chapter 111 Iron Wall Blood Dome (Seeking Monthly Pass)

"Not peaceful? Where’s it not peaceful?"

Xu Shu glanced at the Chief Maid’s surging bosom with a touch of surprise, thinking to himself that indeed, it wasn’t quite peaceful.

The Ghost Nun with severed fingers seemed to not be wearing that symmetrical and so-called liberating invention for women?

He hadn’t noticed before, but now that he looked, they did seem a bit too prominent.

However, Xu Shu had seen over a thousand female disciples yesterday in broad daylight, so now his threshold was quite high. Such a minor scene barely counted as enticing to him.

He remained unfazed and followed the Chief Maid’s gaze outside.

Moonlight beauty, womanly fragrance; the Wasteland vast, desolate; the hearts of men fraught with impulsivity.

Xu Shu:...

He couldn’t find any anomalies in the Wasteland embellished with moonlight and distant kin, instead, a delicate fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

He glanced back at Gu Pan and her aunt Gu Yue Ming, who were nervously leaning against him, and Xu Shu’s gaze deepened thoughtfully.

Strange, why do their scents smell so similar?

Are they using the same perfume?

Xu Shu’s sudden lowering of his head made the Chief Maid think he had caught her drift, so she continued, "It’s strange, those things have suddenly disappeared. Anyway, it’s probably not safe here anymore."

"Oh, is that so?"

In truth, Xu Shu had no idea what she was talking about.

But, as the owner of the Tai Chu Scroll, he had always excelled at ’dissection of language and phrases.’ After a bit of deliberation, he inferred from her few words that perhaps some monsters had been nearby and in considerable numbers, posing a threat to the nuns hiding in the woods outside. But now that she came to report, those monsters had vanished, hence her baffled expression.

Xu Shu made a subtle gesture to Gu Pan.

The Swordsman, with ancestral wisdom in heart, immediately understood. She moved forward, tiptoed, and whispered by Xu Shu’s ear, "Indeed, earlier in the night, one could see many monsters, and there were quite a few, mostly those underground creatures."

On the Wasteland, the so-called ’underground creatures’ referred specifically to those who would emerge from beneath the ground after nightfall to meditate under the moon, or to those that frolic on city walls in the safe zones, stacking and playing monster acrobatics.

Dead and gone without a drop, turning to ash in an instant, not even an Erosion Crystal left.

Because they were stingy demons and ghouls, Xu Shu preferred to call them "miserly spirits."

These were mainly concentrated a few kilometers outside the safe zone walls, with numbers dwindling further out.

Like here, nearing the northern boundary line, these "miserly spirits" should be virtually nonexistent.

Adding to this, Gu Pan mentioned before retracting, "But it’s odd, they were just here a moment ago."

Xu Shu shook his head, feeling an odd sensation as he adjusted his trousers.

Gu Pan had spoken too close for comfort, and though she was disguised as a man, with substantial assets and a voice soft and tender, Xu Shu nearly stood at attention.

He made a show of repressing his weapon, keeping the situation from becoming awkward, while without saying much, had already formed some preliminary doubts and theories.

If everything was as expected, these monsters were likely attracted by the aura emanating from his merged, golden Epic "Yang God Seal"!

Epic monsters naturally drew other creatures near, a situation Xu Shu had encountered before upon entering this world.

Similar occurrences involved the early stages of successfully conducting Evil God summoning rituals.

Ultimately, it boils down to a peculiarity inherent in higher beings, which inadvertently attracts lower monsters.

So, during the early stages of his breakthrough, not yet fully containing the Curse Seal, the slight aura scattered and perceived only by monsters, had drawn nearby ones to him.

And once he successfully contained the second Curse Seal, the aura vanished, losing its allure to monsters, leading them to leave swiftly.

Indeed, Xu Shu, at this moment, had completely contained his second Curse Seal, both closely interlinked within him, achieving a breakthrough from point to line.

He had now successfully advanced.

The Warrior’s path of the Second Rank, anciently known as "Human Armor" or Iron Armor!

This was also why Xu Shu, despite having been putting it off, had agreeably accepted the maid’s invitation just now.

The reason was none other than the boost in strength from his breakthrough.

"Let’s go, lead the way, to meet your master," Xu Shu said calmly, the corners of his mouth curved slightly in a confident smile.

In this Wasteland, even a Tailed Ksitigarbha of a Sixth-order rank could only cower like an ant, pitifully hiding underground.

Su Ji Herrera may be formidable outside, possibly possessing a Third or even Fourth-order strength.

But, as a Demon, within the borders of this area, she must lie low like a dragon, coil like a tiger!

At most she is First Rank, she can only be First Rank!

Me, Second Rank; you, First Rank; what do I have to fear from you?

Of course, Xu Shu knew that Su Ji’s rank wasn’t low, but he himself was in need of some quality Erosion Crystals.

So, he intended to hurry to her before she realized his promotion, to avoid her running away right after discovering it!

What? Someone says this seems impolite?

Xu Shu could only say, sorry, but politeness is reserved for the dead who can afford to maintain propriety!

"Should we wait here, then?" Gu Pan and Yue Ming inquired.

Xu Shu waved his hand magnanimously, "No need, bring your luggage, let’s go together, to avoid having to come back and search later."
