Chapter 41 - The Night Is Dark and the Wind Is Strong

Chapter 41 The Night Is Dark and the Wind Is Strong

Wen Xiong smiled and said, “Everyone, the exploration is complete. It’s time to return.”

All the martial artists nodded.

The experienced mystic realm kings had all been suppressed. The door of light of the mystic realm could already be moved. Their goal had been achieved.

Everyone left the Blazing Fire Plains mystic realm in a single file and saw Manager Number Two and Black bickering here.

Number Two said, “Why do you always embarrass me? I’ll fire you!” Black: “Oh… gulp gulp gulp…” Number Two said, “You’re fired!”

Black: “Oh… gulp gulp gulp…”

Number Two was speechless.

Black: “Burp… What? Got nothing else to say? As an employer, how dare you lose your temper at your bodyguard! I’ll punish you!”

“Since you lost your temper today, you will double the general coins you give me every week starting tomorrow.”

Number Two: “…Don’t be like that. If I do this, I won’t even have enough for myself.”

Black said, “Then I won’t be your bodyguard. Number Three even talked to me secretly a few days ago, hoping that I’ll be his bodyguard.”

Number Two said righteously, “The friendship between us is as firm as a rock. The alliance between us is unbreakable. How can it be affected by mere material things?”

Black: “Are you going to start making sense or what?”

Number Two said, “Fine, I’ll do as you say.”

Black nodded. “Dun dun dun… this is how it should be. How can the employer tell the bodyguard what to do?”

Everyone :”…”

Manager Number Two coughed lightly and recovered his usual refined and steady image.

“You’re all out? You guys were faster than I thought.”

“Wen Xiong, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be the one who led the fighters to kill all the experienced mystic realm kings, right? I’ll reward you when we return.”

Wen Xiong smiled helplessly. “Sir , it wasn’t me. It was Shield Ghost. He was the one who defeated all the experienced mystic realm kings.”

Manager Number Two’s eyes widened. “Are you joking?” Wen Xiong was helpless. “I wish that I was.” Looking at the calm Shield Ghost, Manager Number Two suddenly laughed in satisfaction. “Good, good, good! Shield Ghost, well done!”

“Black, close the door of light. Let’s return to the base!”

Manager Number Two waved his hand in high spirits.

Black walked to the side of the door of light and casually raised it. The door of light was held in his hand as if it was nothing.

Lin Xuan was deep in thought when he saw this.

Could anyone take away the door of light? Or was it only a Seventh Realm martial artist like Black who could?

A day later, shocking news swept through the entire Germinal base.

The news stated that Wen Xiong, Shield Ghost, Lu Luo, and a few other Fourth Realm martial artists followed Manager Number Two to explore the new mystic realm, the Blazing Fire Plains.

In this exploration, all nine experienced mystic realm kings in the Blazing Fire Plains had been killed by Shield Ghost alone! This had created a historical record in the Germinal Organization!

Shield Ghost had defeated nine experienced mystic realm kings alone!

The refugees and wasteland reclaimers all wanted to find Shield Ghost and cozy up to him.

However, even after searching the entire East Lake City, they could not find Shield Ghost.

The night was dark and the wind was strong.

Lin Xuan casually found an extremely ordinary ruined house in East Lake City.

“I’ll use the Avatar Technique to release an avatar and see how dangerous the surroundings of East Lake City are.”

When he had obtained the Avatar Technique previously, this skill was only rare blue. Back then, it could only create an avatar with 20% of the main body’s attributes for 30 minutes.

However, he had already maxed out his Avatar Technique and increased its grade to peerless golden. Now, he could create an avatar with 100% attributes of the main body for a duration of 3 hours.

“I’ll give him a set of mage equipment and also use this opportunity to try out the equipment and runes I obtained previously.”

Lin Xuan was filled with anticipation.

The peerless golden equipment blueprint he had obtained from Lu Luo was a magic book suitable for mages.

Name: Blazing Fire Codex

Level: Level Nine Fourth Realm

Grade: Peerless Golden

Equipment Requirement: Spirit 70

Effect 1: Spirit+5.

Effect 2: Magic power recovery speed+15%, fire magic consumption -10%, fire magic damage+60%.

Although this equipment was not a part of a set, its effect as a single part was still very powerful. Lin Xuan liked it very much.

Soon, a figure wrapped in a black cloak walked quickly towards the north of East Lake City.

One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers…

Lin Xuan’s avatar almost did not encounter any obstructions. All the demon beasts he encountered along the way were relatively weak, only at the First Realm or Second Realm.

He could directly blast them into ashes with small fireballs.

Four kilometers, five kilometers, six kilometers…

The level of the demon beasts the avatar encountered here gradually increased, and Third Realm and Fourth Realm demon beasts began to appear.

Lin Xuan’s spells also changed from small fireballs to normal fireballs and Fire Ring Technique.

However, thanks to the skills “Demon King of Fury” and the runes “Let the Flames Purify Everything” and “Scarlet Wave Rush”, his fire damage was extremely terrifying. Even some demon beasts with higher fire resistance could not withstand it and died after being attacked twice.

Lin Xuan threw spells all along the way. His magic power recovery speed was very fast, and the magic power consumption from using magic was also relatively small. He could use one skill every few seconds, and it was awesome.

The places he passed were all charred.

Finally, he arrived at a small ruined city.

This small city did not have any mystic realm doors, so naturally, no organization would be stationed here.

Without an organization, there would not be any refugees gathered.

This was basically a paradise for wandering demon beasts.

Lin Xuan casually walked on the street, looking at the abandoned shops on both sides and sighing.

“This should be the White Water City next to East Lake City. It’s only an Earth Realm city and is very small.”

The mannequin in the window was wearing a black wedding dress.

The small cowhide moss advertisement on the telephone pole had not fallen off even after all these years.

Lin Xuan could not help but wonder what kind of glue was used to secure this advertisement. Why was it so firm?

He also saw that the bookshop was selling supplementary books related to the college entrance examination. There were all kinds of such examination books.

Even now, he could still see the prosperous civilization of that era decades ago.

Roar!

A shocking beast roar suddenly sounded.

Lin Xuan looked up and saw a ferocious tiger more than six meters long appear at the end of the street.

It was a level six Fifth Realm demon beast, the Hanging-Eyed Tiger.

He did not know which mystic realm it came from.

The ferocious tiger suddenly pounced over, and a fishy wind enveloped Lin Xuan’s face.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand, and a huge fire ring suddenly appeared, repelling the Hanging Eye Tiger far away.

The fur on the latter’s body was immediately ignited.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand again, and a one-meter-wide fireball quickly condensed. Suddenly, it pierced through the Hanging Eye Tiger, which was still in midair with nowhere to go, and a huge hole appeared in its abdomen.

Pieces of flesh flew and blood rained.

The fireball did not lose its momentum as it directly blasted apart a rusted bus in the back. It also hit the bookshop that contained all the college entrance examination guidance books and shattered all the glass. After burning a large number of books, the fireball disappeared.

Lin Xuan casually picked up an ordinary white equipment dropped by the Hanging Eye Tiger and threw it into the consciousness space smelting table.

Seeing this shocking destructive force, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Even a fireball can cause such damage. If I obtain a stronger fire spell, won’t I be able to casually blast a building into the sky?”

Lin Xuan was planning to release a few more fireballs to satisfy his desire to destroy.

At this moment, his skill, “Perception”, was activated and he suddenly discovered that someone was approaching within a hundred meters of him.

“Someone’s here. I’ll put the equipment into my consciousness space and remove my avatar.” Lin Xuan immediately removed his avatar.

His avatar instantly disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated into thin air.
