Chapter 267 Volunteering

"Whirr~"

Along with the tattered coat being flung out, there was also a magnificent robe with a black base, flame patterns embroidered on the hem and sleeves, and wave patterns embroidered on the chest. The two coats flew through the air, converging towards each other.

Beside Zhang Yuanshi, the Yin corpse Blood Rose came to an abrupt stop, then soared into the air, caught the Yin-Yang robe and draped it over her body. The moment she landed, she had already thrown off the tattered coat, completing the dressing. Then, wearing two clothing-type props, she charged in the opposite direction like a healthy female leopard, rushing towards the surging thick fog.

During this process, two faint crimson glows emerged from in front of Zhang Yuanshi, dancing gracefully, chasing after the curvaceous Blood Rose, and after coiling around her feet, they adhered to her feet, transforming into a pair of brand-new dancing shoes.

'Can Yuanshi Tianzun sacrifice his Yin corpse to hold back the monster? Will that work?' Guan Zhongkui Bao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, even feeling a bit moved. He knew that the Yin corpse was the Night Wanderer's right-hand assistant, of great significance. Losing the Yin corpse was equivalent to losing an arm.

In this dungeon, fraught with dangers, at this critical moment when everyone was only thinking about escaping, Yuanshi Tianzun "sacrificed his own Yin corpse, trying to solve the crisis for everyone. He truly has the leadership qualities."

As a rogue cultivator, Guan Zhongkui Bao felt a sense of recognition and admiration for this legendary figure from the official organization.

After Blood Rose rushed into the thick fog, Zhang Yuanshi immediately communicated with the imprint in his sea of consciousness, dividing half of his consciousness to enter the Yin corpse and control this body. As soon as I rushed into the thick fog, I felt a sense of disorientation and a kind of indescribable fear, instinctively stopping my steps, daring not to run around. The surrounding thick fog surged, as if terrifying monsters were hidden within. Blood Rose looked around blankly, a dull expression revealing a vivid "alertness." Suddenly, Zhang Yuanshi involuntarily lowered her waist and split her legs, performing a split. Immediately, the red dancing shoes manipulated her to stand up on one leg, leaping back several meters like a startled deer.

'I was attacked!!!' Zhang Yuanshi looked back, in the dispersing thick fog, a short figure was vaguely revealed.

This figure was about two meters tall, its body withered, shaped like dried grass, messy hair draped over its forehead like straw, cheeks sunken, and scarlet eyeballs protruding. It was a dried corpse.

But what was different from the dried corpse was that in those protruding scarlet eyeballs, there was no violence, no bloodlust, but a chaotic dullness, with a glimmer of turbidity. The dried corpse saw that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, and stared at me "blankly" before leaving without hesitation.

As a Bewitchment Imp, it could see that the one in front of it was not of its kind and had no value for sucking blood. Jiang Aizhe saw this and rubbed a ball of fire, actively smashing it towards the back of the monster's head. "Boom!"

The fire burst open, and the straw-like hair on the back of the monster's head immediately caught fire, burning like a torch. But the monster paid no attention and continued to move forward. The thick fog dispersed, and it was about to swallow it up.

'The trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain didn't work.' Zhang Yuanshi felt slightly anxious in his heart, but after a quick thought, he came up with a solution and said loudly, "You trash, garbage, you deserve to be killed by the Mountain God, you deserve to become a walking corpse!"

Since it was a monster with high intelligence, then the provocation method would definitely work. Grab the other party's pain points and humiliate them severely. Any strong person with a temper would never sit idly by. The fog in front solidified, without any ripples.

'No reaction.' Zhang Yuanshi thought for a moment, raised his voice, and cursed,

"Trash, garbage, as a peak combat power profession, losing to everyone, you have completely lost the face of the Bewitchment Imp..."

The rapidly wriggling thick fog suddenly trembled. The next second, a white shadow rushed over at high speed, so fast that it emitted a shrill sonic boom, like a fighter jet. "Duang~"

A yellow light suddenly lit up behind him, emitting a sound like a heavy object hitting tempered glass. The red dancing shoes didn't even react. Zhang Yuanshi was struck hard, and his body flew out. The red dancing shoes' dodge was not a rule-based ability and had its limits. Exceeding a certain limit, it would not be able to react.

As I flew out, the white shadow followed closely, attacking in close combat with punches, kicks, and elbows... The tattered coat only lasted for two or three seconds before the thick yellow light "boom" shattered, and the tattered coat completely disintegrated into scraps of cloth. 'Damn, so strong!' Zhang Yuanshi almost shouted, "Sorry for disturbing you, please forgive me!"

The moment the defensive prop was broken, I happened to land. Just as I was about to display the Bewitchment Imp's proud sluggishness and speed to escape, two twisted and strange runes suddenly appeared in the scarlet eyeballs of the monster beside me.

Zhang Yuanshi's mind "boomed," and his consciousness seemed to be torn into pieces, losing the ability to think.

But I didn't become a lamb to be slaughtered. Instead, I did an elegant spin, spin, and sidestep. Under the operation of the red dancing shoes, I cleverly avoided the monster's storm-like attacks.

"Bang!"

Seizing the opportunity, the red dancing shoes kicked the monster in the chest, using the recoil to rush into the depths of the thick fog with the useless owner's useless Yin corpse, fleeing in panic. At this time, Zhang Yuanshi's will recovered. Without thinking, he pinched out a fireball and threw it to the right. Almost at the same time, the sonic boom like a fighter jet roared again from behind.

The fireball exploded nearby, dyeing the surrounding thick fog with a layer of gorgeous orange.

Zhang Yuanshi's figure was immediately swallowed by the crimson fire, causing me to disappear from the spot and appear in the firelight dozens of meters to the right. Fire Travel!

Tap tap tap... After landing, Jiang Aizhe stepped on the red dancing shoes and ran wildly.

I took back the initiative from the red dancing shoes because the running speed of the red dancing shoes was lower than the flesh body of Blood Rose, this Bewitchment Imp. Zhang Yuanshi had just rushed out less than a hundred meters when the thick fog in front of him trembled, revealing a two-meter-tall figure, withered in shape, with sunken cheeks and protruding eyeballs. It could teleport in the thick fog. Zhang Yuanshi's pupils shrank. Gritting his teeth, he didn't decelerate, but instead accelerated towards the monster. "Whirr~"

In the calm sound of water, Zhang Yuanshi collided with the monster, turning himself into a mass of white foam. Blood Rose's passive skill.

The splashing foam then condensed behind the monster, restoring its humanoid form.

Zhang Yuanshi continued to flee, and at the same time, I used the Yin-Yang robe's fire control skills to throw out balls of fire in all directions. "Boom boom boom..."

The fireballs exploded continuously, and the roar made people think they were in a battlefield.

I used these exploding firelights to continuously cast Fire Travel, achieving an effect comparable to teleportation, while constantly scolding: "Trash, garbage, the shame of the Bewitchment Imp!"

Outside the thick fog, the Spirit Attendants of the Mountain God camp gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

We watched in surprise as the thick fog receded, spreading towards another direction. Its speed was even faster and fiercer than when chasing us. Unexpectedly, Yuanshi Tianzun's Yin corpse had such a strong attraction to the monster. "We're... saved..."

Guan Zhongkui Bao's knees went weak, and he fell to the ground, panting heavily. His physical strength wasn't consumed too much, but the emotional overexertion left him exhausted. After catching his breath, he looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him and grinned, "He's really something... I owe him a life, thanks. I must find a chance to escape, or I'll suffer a big loss!!!" Jiang Aizhe looked at the increasingly distant thick fog, silently praying. "Bao, your prop is ruined."

Guan Zhongkui Bao's face was full of heartache. "Expected..." I stubbornly corrected, "...My name is Guan Zhongkui Bao, not Bao Yu." You should be mentally prepared for taking such a shameful ID!!! Zhang Yuanshi nodded solemnly, "Got it, Bao Yu."

Jiang Jingwei jumped up and patted Zhang Yuanshi on the shoulder.

"Get lost, you fake Fire Master. All those Fire Masters behind you are fake." Jiang Dezhe nodded expressionlessly, "Remember to carry me when you escape next time. Now get lost to the side." I turned to look at the people who were coming over, and seeing their fearful expressions, I said in a deep voice, "Sorry, it was my command error just now that harmed two colleagues."

"Bullshit!" Guan Zhongkui Bao was the first to refute. "If we had fought that monster, more than two people would have died." Zhao Chenghuang asked with a not-so-good expression, "How strong is that monster? Did you collect any new information?"

The four Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect who entered the killing dungeon this time finally had a victim. This made Zhao Chenghuang feel a little relieved. Everyone immediately looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, waiting for my answer with solemn expressions. Zhang Yuanshi's tone was low and deep,

"That monster possesses extremely high intelligence. It is not a Yin creature fighting by instinct. Besides the fog, it also retains its Bewitchment ability. Its speed and strength are also at the Saint level." "I controlled the Yin corpse and tried my best, but I could only barely escape. There was basically no possibility of fighting." The faces of the Spirit Attendants listening sank. Recalling the scene of being chased by the thick fog just now, they felt fearful again. At the same time, they were even more grateful for Yuanshi Tianzun's act of sacrificing the Yin corpse to lure the monster away. The Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect looked at each other, and could only endure the grief and anger in their hearts. Zhang Yuanshi said,

"This place is not suitable for staying for long. You still have many things to discuss..."

Next, the group followed the map and approached the city center, finding the seven seals that sealed the blood pool. They were a dilapidated bank mansion, a vast abandoned park, a large shopping mall, and an abandoned subway station. Unfortunately, none of these seven places could be entered. The dungeon prompted that they needed to obtain quest items to enter the array.

During the exploration, Jiang Aizhe focused on seven things at once, manipulating Blood Rose to escape danger again and again, until you entered a sewer. Using Blood Rose's water control ability, you successfully escaped the monster's hunt in the "underground world" filled with sewage. The crisscrossing sewers, filled with sewage, were Blood Rose's home field.

Even if the monster could use the thick fog to spread to the sewers, Blood Rose could also dive into the water and perform water escape. However, as soon as you left the sewer, the thick fog would attack from all directions. From this, Zhang Yuanshi drew another conclusion - the monster possessed the Bewitchment Imp's marking ability. "Marking" was the Bewitchment Imp's passive ability, and also one of the most troublesome and terrifying abilities of this profession. Any prey that was marked would be sensed by the Bewitchment Imp, and would be tracked no matter where they escaped. A top hunting skill.

When Zhang Yuanshi shared the information with his companions, Yuan Ting was shocked and said,

"In that case, this monster is a real Fog Master, possessing all the skills from its life, at most its level has dropped and its skills are not complete..." The safety factor has dropped significantly.

"Moreover, it also has the characteristic of never letting go of its target." Zhang Yuanshi said.

Of course, I wasn't sure if the monster was fixated on Blood Rose because I was being rude, or if it really had this characteristic. "That's not right," Guo Hezuo keenly noticed the flaw in my words, "How did the Mountain God camp escape?"

Abandoned factory.

The Spirit Attendants of the Mountain God camp, with wide "cloaks" like sunshades covering their heads, had been standing here for seven hours. Kou Beiyue shouted:

"No, I'm going out, I can't stand it anymore."

The fat guy quickly comforted the boss, "Please bear with it, bear with it, bear with it, bear with it..." Kou Beiyue cursed,

"Even if I can still hold on, my bladder can't hold on anymore."

The cost of the prop was that I couldn't move. I had been holding my pee for a long time and couldn't hold on anymore. My legs were almost numb. The members of the Mountain God camp were very disappointed at this moment.

Because the plan to divert the disaster to the east had failed. At first, when they saw the number of people on the scoreboard decreasing and found that two members of the Mountain God camp had died, they were quite excited. They were just waiting for the Mountain God camp and the monster to fight to the death, and then go out to clean up the mess.

But they hadn't been happy for too long when the number of people on the scoreboard stopped moving. This meant that after two people died, the Mountain God camp had successfully gotten rid of the monster.

According to our experience, this monster has the ability to mark. Once it targets its prey, it will stick to them like leeches, unless it is killed or kills back. Otherwise, it is difficult to get rid of. It can be seen that the Mountain God camp also has props similar to the Night Wanderer's cloak, which can shield their aura. Wei Ni Duzun said coldly, "If you want to pee, just pee. No one is stopping you. I will be responsible for transferring your swill out." As soon as I finished speaking, a Wugu Master said in a low voice, "...I can't hold it in anymore either. Count me in." "Can the small size be transferred?"

Several evil professions also responded, saying they wanted to solve their physiological problems. Wei Ni Duzun:

Jiang Ai (Your Fate is Up to You) said, one of the few female Attendants in the team:

"It's not a solution to go on like this. We can stand for seven hours, but we can't necessarily stand for ten hours, and we don't know how the Mountain God camp is shielding their aura. If we continue like this, we will definitely be at a disadvantage." Bai Wu Jinji seriously listened to your opinion and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Shuigui pondered for a moment and said his thoughts, "Find the Mountain God camp to form an alliance and deal with the Boss first. I think they also want to see the task progress." Tian Xia Jie Bai sneered, "The idea isn't wrong, but who's going?" Bai Wu Jinji thought for a moment and said,

"I remember the Wood Imp can manipulate animals to convey messages. Can it be done?" The Si Lou Yu on the other side shook his head:

"The function of this cloak is the same as the Night Wanderer's invisibility. When the Night Wanderer is invisible, they can't release skills or attack, otherwise they will reveal their original form. But this prop directly shields skills. As long as the Wood Imp is still hiding outside, he can't control animals." Shuigui thought for a moment and said,

"We need to send someone to contact the people of the Mountain God camp." Everyone was silent for a moment.

Not to mention that after going out, they might be targeted by the monster. What if those guys from the official organization refuse to form an alliance?

The evil professions thought to themselves, which hero is so righteous.

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was the new boss of the fat guy Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi.
