Chapter 238 Meeting Gaoguan again (8000)
The grassland is empty, the sky is gloomy, under the black sky, the silver moonlight casts down from the clouds, covering the whole grassland with a layer of silver gauze.
But what was covered by the layer of silver gauze was corpses all over the ground.
Spreading all the way from the far edge, shrinking inward constantly, corpses circle after circle, layer by layer, the grasslands are all covered as far as the eye can see.
Many, especially many.
From Xu Bai's point of view, there are only a few places where he can stay, and it seems that he has experienced a terrible battle.
Every corpse bears terrifying scars.
The blood on their bodies has been drained and soaked in the withered and yellow weeds, some of the withered and yellow weeds have been dyed red.
Xu Bai frowned tightly, looking around.
This situation is unheard of.
He got here directly at the beginning of the game, and there is not even a single person, all of them are corpses. What's the secret here?
In his mind, there must be a secret, the whole ruins is a big secret, but there is no clue now.
Xu Bai raised his hand and pinched it carefully.
With the myriad miscellaneous arts that he has integrated into the first level of saints, he can't calculate good or bad at this moment, let alone clues.
The occurrence of this situation made Xu Bai's eyebrows twitch wildly. He felt that this trip must be a dangerous rebirth.
Even he can't calculate the good and bad luck, even with the third level of the saint, this relic is not simple.
"This kind of opening, then go directly to one place and forget it."
Xu Bai first used his soul to diffuse to find out the surrounding situation. After finding no useful clues, he decided to find a direction and hurry.
In addition to corpses here, there are corpses, wait!
Xu Bai had just stepped out of his foot and was about to leave, but then he took his foot back. His eyes lingered on the corpses he could see, and soon, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"How long has it been since you touched a corpse?"
In the past, after fighting or killing someone, he would carefully **** to see if there was a progress bar.
After getting stronger and stronger, no one fought him anymore, and he didn't touch the corpse later.
Now here are the ruins, all of which are reappearances of the era of resource exhaustion, so if these corpses are all people in the industry, can they find out some cheats?
"There are so many corpses, groping one by one is too slow, by the way, I still have this skill..."
The true energy in Xu Bai's body reversed, and then he performed a hand trick, and at the same time, part of the true energy was consumed.
The corpse control method, obtained from the corpse collector in the previous ruins, has been integrated into all kinds of miscellaneous techniques.
Since there are corpses all over here, it is natural to control it like a duck to water.
Soon, a horrifying scene appeared on this vast and boundless grassland.
Every corpse crawled up from the ground. Although they were all lifeless and had horrible wounds and blood on their bodies, they did come back to life in a different way.
If the body collector saw that Xu Bai used this method to simplify his method of touching the corpse, he would probably be so angry that he would run out of the coffin.
"Then...let's start." Xu Bai snapped his fingers, the old **** was waiting.
Under the moonlight, these corpses began to search themselves, as long as it was useful, they would find it.
Unfortunately, Xu Bai didn't see anything related to the progress bar, and this scene made him feel a little problematic.
These people died here with wounds all over their bodies, obviously they all fought for a while.
Xu Bai made a hypothesis, assuming that these people are fighting each other for the sake of robbing things, or for some benefit.
Then people in the industry will definitely leave things behind.
After all, a dead person cannot take things away by himself.
But now there isn't even a useful thing, let alone a progress bar.
There is only one answer.
Someone left alive, and even took things here, including the cheat that can generate the progress bar.
But here comes the problem again, there are many corpses here, and it is absolutely impossible to take them away alone, so it proves that there are also many people who are alive.
"No traces of walking were found, not even footprints left. From this point of view, it should be by flying. Then...the person who left, at least went up from the mortal realm."
According to the sweeping of the scene, Xu Bai did not find any clues, so Xu Bai came up with another guess.
In such a messy place, it is difficult to clear all the clues, so the only way to leave by flying is to leave no traces.
"But the key is, which direction did these people leave from?" Xu Bai rubbed his chin, thinking secretly.
He must be chasing after them. If those who left took the cheats away, according to the number of corpses here, even if it is halved, it will not be less.
With so many progress bars, how could they slip away from my hands?
Then the question arises, which direction should we pursue?
Xu Bai stood where he was, and after a while, he put down his hands, looked around at the figure standing up under his control, and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, these corpses started running in all directions...
I only have one person, so I must not be able to search everywhere, so let these corpses look for it.
Nowadays, the method of controlling corpses has been integrated into all kinds of miscellaneous arts, and has already reached the level of sanctification, and the range that can be controlled is extremely broad.
If you can't find it after searching like this, or if you can't find it after running out of the range, then Xu Bai can only count himself as unlucky.
The speed of the corpses is not slow, after all, they retain the strength of their lives.
And Xu Bai stood where he was, waiting patiently.
The grassland is empty, and those corpses are being frantically searched for.
On a black moonlit night, Xu Bai waited for about half an hour. Finally, he passed through the corpses and sensed that something was wrong in one direction.
"I found you." Xu Bai smiled, and under the circulation of his true energy, he rose into the air and chased in one direction.
Bloody under.
Dozens of people are facing each other under the moonlight.
These people are divided into two groups, and the strength of each side is roughly the same.
Everyone is carrying a burden on their backs, and some of the burdens show a corner, which is the outline of a book.
One team was led by a middle-aged man with a goatee, and the other team was led by a white-haired old man.
The goatee looked at the opposite side coldly, and said in a gloomy tone: "I knew that you wanted to take away the remaining tokens, and what you said about everyone getting along in harmony is a lie."
"After all, some of you over there don't have tokens, so they really want ours."
The white-haired old man did not have the kindness that an old man should have, but instead had a gloomy air: "Aren't you the same? If we didn't have the same purpose, how could we kill all those people and rob them?" Where's their token?"
"Since you have discovered it, I can only grab it. Let's not talk nonsense. If I throw the token on the ground, I can give you a life."
Goat Hu heard the words and sneered: "You want to give us a way to survive, and I want to give you a way to survive. Since everyone is tearing their skins apart today, let's not stop dying."
Although both sides were talking harsh words, neither of them did anything. They confronted each other, and they were all weighing the pros and cons of doing something.
Time gradually passed, and these people could not hold back their temper, and just stood there, guarding each other.
At this moment, a sound came from not far away, which attracted the attention of the two parties. When the leaders all turned their heads, they saw the source of the sound and fell into shock.
A large pile of corpses, using various strange postures, is rushing towards them.
Some corpses were on all fours, running like animals, while others jumped a long distance. Looking from them, it seemed like a wave was coming.
"What's going on, aren't they all dead, why are they alive again?"
Both parties present, everyone was shocked.
These people were all killed by them, and they left after snatching the tokens, but why these people came back to life, and they were extraordinarily terrifying.
"I won't argue with you for the time being, let's deal with these strange things together first, and then we'll talk after the deal is over!" Goatee said loudly.
"Okay!" The white-haired old man's face was solemn, and he also agreed with the goatee's approach.
Immediately afterwards, the men and horses of both sides jumped into the air at the same time, and their escape movements were exceptionally consistent.
This group of people are all from the mortal realm, and they all escaped by flying.
The goat cursed: "Bah, I knew you wanted to run away."
"Each to each other." The white-haired old man also mocked.
Although the two parties agreed to cooperate and fight just now, their first thought was to escape. As long as one party stays, then they can become the backup.
They are not afraid of these corpses, because these corpses were killed by them when they were alive, but if things go wrong, there must be demons.
The corpse suddenly came back to life, there must be an extremely terrifying reason, so no one wants to stay.
Neither side stopped to fight, and both were running with all their might.
There is a good saying, when you are chased by a beast, what you have to do is not to run faster than the beast, but to run faster than your companions, so that you can survive.
At this time, both sides are holding such a mentality and want to run faster than the other, but they are all equal, and there is no difference between who is faster and who is slower.
Gradually, the group of corpses seemed to slow down suddenly. Immediately afterwards, the corpse running at the front lost control and fell directly to the ground, while the corpses behind fell down one after another, unable to move anymore.
Both sides breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't stop.
They were chasing well just now, but suddenly they stopped moving. This situation is even weirder, so they want to leave quickly.
But at this moment, a sharp-eyed person noticed the difference, pointed behind him and shouted.
"Someone! It's approaching quickly!"
When this voice came out, several eyes immediately looked over. The group of people flying in the air soon saw the situation behind them.
There is a small black spot, which is gradually enlarged under the moonlight.
The speed of zooming in is extremely fast, and they can already see the outline in just a blink of an eye.
It was a man, wearing a Taoist robe, with his hands behind his back.
The strong wind messed up the man's long hair, and at the same time, the robe was blown up.
The man's gaze was cold but mocking, like a hunter looking at his fleeing prey.
No matter how the prey escapes, it cannot escape the hunter's palm. In the eyes of the hunter, it is just playing with the prey.
Because of the movement of looking behind, the people present paused for a while, and after such a pause, the man directly passed them and stopped in front.
Xu Bai looked at the group of fleeing people, smiled and said, "Are you tired from running? Sit down and rest."
After he finished speaking, golden and off-white sky changes intertwined and enveloped the surroundings.
The aura of madness and rationality is constantly passing, and it is permeating rapidly.
Now, he is already the ninth rank of extraordinary, and the terrifying changes in the sky make one's hairs stand on end.
Even these masters of the Mortal Transformation Realm were unable to resist. When the change of the sky spread, the masters of the Mortal Transformation Realm all covered their heads, let out screams, and fell from the sky to the ground.
Only the old man with the goatee and the white hair could barely resist, but their faces became extremely pale. Obviously, it was particularly difficult to resist.
"Well, two extraordinary, but not very strong?" The smile on Xu Bai's face disappeared, and his tone became cold: "I let you take a rest, you don't want to?"
After speaking, he waved his hand.
The next moment, a bright light suddenly appeared from his hand.
Wan Banan has integrated all his attack methods, and he has done whatever he wants at this moment.
This ray of light is a knife, or it could be something else.
As the light suddenly appeared, whether it was the external destructive power or the attack of the soul, the goatee and the white-haired old man vomited blood.
The dark clouds in the sky were dispersed, and the moonlight was not as bright as the light in Xu Bai's hand.
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, I will wait until you arrive!"
The goatee reacted very quickly, kneeling in mid-air, crying.
The speed of the white-haired old man was also not slow, and he performed the same movements as the goatee, and at the same time raised the token in his hand.
"We are willing to contribute all the tokens to the adults, so that the adults can enter the Mofa Pavilion."
Mofa Pavilion?
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that now there was a new clue.
But... this is a good thing!
When I first came here, there were no clues, but now the clues are coming?
Xu Bai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly crushed him with his soul, and everyone present was controlled by him.
The next moment, the faces of the people present, including Goat Lake and the white-haired old man, became dull.
"Come on, tell me, tell me everything you know about this token."
Xu Bai put his hands behind his back, and the old **** was waiting.
If you give him a pot of tea now, he can drink a couple of sips and listen to a story.
The goatee and the white-haired old man have been controlled by him. Under his control, he told the whole story of the matter.
When Xu Bai heard the whole story, his brows frowned.
It is still a period of time when resources are exhausted, but he does not know to what extent the resources are exhausted.
After all, no one can figure out what time period it is every time you enter the ruins.
There is an organization called Mofage, which is established in many places.
The so-called Mofa Pavilion is to attract some masters to rob resources in order to continue their own way of life.
They firmly believe that this shortage of resources is due to too many people in the industry.
So they take this as the center and continue to slaughter people in the industry.
As long as these people in the industry die to a certain number, the shortage of resources will stop.
And in this kind of continuous battle, even they will suffer casualties, so every once in a while, tokens will be randomly distributed, as long as the person who gets the token will definitely have a stepping stone.
And this stepping stone will allow them to accept the test, and if they pass the test, they will be able to join the Mofa Pavilion.
In the Mofa Pavilion, they robbed resources, so they can alleviate the current situation of resource depletion. The only disadvantage is that they have to go out to experience various battles, but it is much better than such a person.
The people killed by these two forces also came to **** the tokens.
After they killed those people, they snatched the token away.
But there are too few tokens to snatch, not enough for them all to enter, so they all want to kill each other.
"So that's how it is." Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "Where is the branch of Mofa Pavilion here?"
The goatee pointed in one direction, which meant that it was probably in this direction.
Xu Bai nodded: "Hand over all the signs."
The people present all handed over their tokens when they heard Xu Bai's words. Xu Bai took a rough look and found that there were nearly two hundred yuan.
The total number of people from these two parties is nearly 300.
"One piece is enough to enter, right?" Xu Bai said.
Goatee nodded stiffly.
Xu Bai put away one of them, and ordered: "Except for those tokens, what else was stolen, take them all out."
After Xu Bai finished speaking, everyone present opened the packages behind them.
Xu Bai searched and found that there were only seven books, most of which were valuables such as weapons.
These things were all found from those corpses, but the progress bar is too little.
"Why are there only these few cheat books?" Xu Bai said.
Goatee replied: "Cheats are the easiest to be damaged in fierce battles, and now everyone is only fighting for resources to survive, so how can they take some cheats into consideration and put them on their bodies."
Xu Bai understood.
Mosquito legs are also meat. Although these progress bars don't seem to be slow, they can increase somewhat.
He didn't want anything else, but just packed these seven books in a package.
After finishing all this, he rushed directly in the direction of the goatee pointing at the beginning.
But before he left, his spirit moved slightly, and all the people present fell to the ground, losing their breath.
If these people didn't die before becoming Nian Shen, they wouldn't become Nian Shen, so Xu Bai wasn't worried about other things.
Flying in mid-air, heading in that direction, hurrying all the way.
Xu Bai discovered that the ruins this time were really big. He flew for an hour, but he still hadn't arrived at the intended place.
But he is not without gains.
The level of these seven books is not high. At this moment, he has finished all of them. Unfortunately, they are all mental methods, and these seven books have not even increased by 0.1.
Xu Bai felt a toothache, especially when he thought about various problems in the mind, he felt speechless.
"I hope this time I can gain something."
After flying for nearly another stick of incense, a huge building finally appeared in front of it.
This is a city, a city that looks a bit dilapidated, and there are two people guarding the gate of the city.
There is no plaque, and I don't even know the name of the city.
Xu Bai fell from midair, changed his appearance and body shape casually, and walked towards the city.
Getting closer, he could feel the smell of blood coming from the whole city.
In such an environment like the end of the world, killing is inevitable.
Those who were able to enter this city alive and successfully join the Mofa Pavilion experienced more killings.
Xu Bai walked slowly, and came to the city gate. Two guards guarding the gate, each holding different weapons, stood in the middle.
"Token."
Simple two words, the tone is extremely indifferent, as if Xu Bai can't hand over the token, they will do it.
Xu Bai took out the token from his waist and waved it in front of the two guards.
The two guards looked at each other, and one of the guards said to Xu Bai, "Are you alone?"
Xu Bai smiled and said, "I'm the only one."
"Okay." The guard said, "Just follow me."
As he spoke, the guard turned around and led the way.
Xu Bai didn't know what it meant, but he followed behind and entered the city.
After entering, he realized that the city was completely different from what he had imagined.
Inside is a wide street. Although the street is not cleaned and there is a lot of dust, there are still stalls on both sides of the street.
Different from the world, the stalls here are all supplies from the trade.
The stall owners are all in the industry.
There are no ordinary people here. In this environment, ordinary people are probably already dead.
Along the way, the guards didn't speak, and Xu Bai also stayed at ease, and also didn't speak.
After walking like this for a while, a more impressive building appeared in front of it. The guard came to the door and pointed directly inside.
"Go inside and report to see where you will be assigned."
Xu Bai smiled and said, "Excuse me, what places are there?"
The guard did not answer, but stretched out his hand: "If you want me to answer the question, you need to give me resources."
"Elixir, weapon, or other things, as long as it can improve my strength, it's fine."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
He seems to understand that in this world, resources seem to be a kind of trading item. The so-called resources are things that can keep people alive and improve their strength.
is not limited to pills or weapons.
But Xu Bai did not.
He thought that he seemed to have made a mistake just now, he should have some weapons at hand, and he would live better here.
Seeing that Xu Bai didn't answer, the guard laughed, knowing that Xu Bai didn't have any resources, so he turned and left.
Xu Bai didn't stop him. He looked at the building behind him, thought for a while, and walked in.
Inside the building, there is a vast yard. In the yard, there are people walking around from time to time.
As soon as he stepped in, Xu Bai smelled a strong smell of blood. Everyone here has that smell. Obviously, everyone has experienced some fighting or killing not long ago.
No one paid attention to him, he thought carefully for a moment, and was about to ask someone casually.
Unexpectedly, there was a voice behind him.
"newcomer?"
Xu Bai's voice was very familiar.
He turned his head and looked at the man in the white coat behind him with a complex expression on his face.
high pass.
He didn't expect to be able to see him again. It was really unexpected. He still remembered that when he was in the ruins last time, Gao Guan found the old man before he turned into Nian Shen. Death, in order to do justice for the sky.
But in the end it didn't work out. It was Xu Bai who used the magic trick to lure Liu Qingfeng over and killed that person.
Seeing him suddenly now, Xu Bai also knew what time it was, it was definitely before Gaoguan went to that mountain.
That is to say, the current resources have not been exhausted to a certain extent, and everyone will not try to survive as before.
From this, it can be inferred that the Mofa Pavilion may have failed in the end. Judging from Gao Guan's meaning, it seems that there must be a reason for the members of the Mofa Pavilion to go to that mountain in the end.
Gao Guan was still dressed in white clothes and a high hat. When he saw Xu Bai, he ignored him. He thought Xu Bai was in a daze. But it's hard to survive."
Xu Bai finally came to his senses, rubbed his face vigorously, and said with a smile, "Are you a senior here?"
Gao Guan said with a smile: "Of course, if you don't change your name or surname, Gao Guan is also, and he is still a very rare corpse collector."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
He really wanted to say, not only do I know that you are the corpse collector, but you also gave me your inheritance in the end, and asked me to help you find the descendant.
Of course, he couldn't say these words, he could only pretend to know him, and repeatedly bowed his hands, wanting Gao Guan to introduce him, what to do next.
Before these people became Nian Shen, they could communicate and socialize, and maybe they could find useful clues from them, so Xu Bai didn't start killing immediately when he came.
What's more, who knows if there is any sanctification in the ruins?
No one told him that there is this thing, but no one told him that there is no such thing, so let's take it as it is, and be careful.
Gao Guan raised his foot, walked in front, and waved to Xu Bai: "Looking at your poor and desolate appearance, you probably don't have any treasures. Come with me. I won't ask for your resources, or you will let these people give you money." If you lead the way, everyone will ask you for something, if you don't have it, it's hard to move here.
Xu Bai nodded and followed behind.
The two came one after the other, and soon came to one of the rooms.
Gao Guan pointed to the room and said: "In it, record your name and information, and then wait a while, and you will be able to know which part you are in."
"The part you get is the part. Don't ask someone to take it away for you. If you have resources, then pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, the good parts are always given to those who have resources."
"Oh?" Xu Baichao said with interest: "What is the good part? What is the bad part?"
He knows, the so-called part here must be related.
Gao Guan pointed to himself, and said: "It's not good to be classified into the combat category like me. You have to fight and kill every day, and maybe one day it will be gone."
After saying this, he pointed to the room again.
"Those who specialize in recording and doing other things in the city are considered good categories. You don't need to go out to fight and kill, and you can still receive resources."
Xu Bai understands, co-authorship is a good category as long as it doesn't leave the city.
He nodded, without further ado, just pushed the door open and entered.
Gao Guan didn't stop there either, and walked straight away with his white top hat on.
After pushing the door and entering, Xu Bai smelled a strong smell of blood. A middle-aged man in ordinary clothes with two beards was writing on it with a pen.
The strong smell of blood emanated from the two bearded middle-aged men.
As if he heard the sound of the door being pushed, the middle-aged man raised his head, and his beard moved slightly: "Newcomer? Name."
Simple questioning, if I really want to ask one more sentence, I will suffer a lot.
Xu Bai looked to the side, there was a corpse, and the middle-aged man's hand was still slightly bloodstained.
The middle-aged man didn't even lift his eyelids: "He was seriously injured, and he couldn't be revived after getting it back. It just happened to give me key medicinal materials."
While speaking, he came to the corpse.
On the belly of the corpse, several grass-like herbs had grown.
"It's a pity, one corpse can only grow so much." The middle-aged man said regretfully.
These medicinal materials are also resources, but now, all kinds of resources are exhausted, and the medicinal materials cannot be grown at all. Now, this middle-aged man unexpectedly found a unique way to use corpses to grow them.
Xu Bai said: "My name is Fang Mu."
Since the other party only asked his name, he just said it casually. As for why he called Fang Mu, is there any reason for the casual saying?
The middle-aged man nodded, and after recording in a book, he got up and went into the back room.
Xu Bai felt that it was too simple to join here, but after thinking about it later, it was actually not that complicated.
It's all for resources. With a token, there must be a lot of fighting and killing. I came here just to ask for resources. Who is willing to lie or do something else.
After waiting for about half a stick of incense, the middle-aged man took out a booklet and spread it out in front of Xu Bai.
The settings are marked with various categories, namely the combat category, the back office category, and others. However, except for the combat category, the others are clearly marked with prices, and how many resources are needed to obtain them.
Xu Bai remembered what Gao Guan said just now, and looking at the blatant price tag of this middle-aged man, it should be allowed.
The resources for fighting and killing are also resources, and blackmail is also a resource here. It is estimated that all the obtained will be handed over and then distributed uniformly.
Xu Bai has no resources, and he will not give them if he has, because he really wants to go to the combat category.
He didn't come here because he was in this city. He just followed this category to see if there were any other clues, not to mention that Gao Guan was also there.
Xu Bai had a good impression of Gaoguan, after all, he was able to calmly face that terrifying old man back then. This kind of person was not afraid of death, so he was easy to get in touch with.
So since he had the opportunity, he just went to get in touch.
"Battle type." Xu Bai said.
The middle-aged man curled his lips: "Poor ghost."
As he spoke, he turned around, took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer, and handed it to Xu Bai.
"Drink it."
