"We can't keep this up!"
Chatam growled lowly.
In the room,
several professionals silently watched him pace back and forth.
"General, Skinny Wolf got an entire wall made of gold bricks,"
a one-eyed man with a long face said.
Chatam suddenly stopped in his tracks and said harshly,
"So what? In this age, gold is useless!"
Actually, gold was still very useful.
But he couldn't say that.
The kid had to die.
Otherwise, if his wings were allowed to flourish, how would he survive?
Chatam said solemnly,
"—I know everyone is curious about what other great things that Holy Healing Skill holder has left, listen, you were all once masters, you should know that the Holy Side has no decent Attack Skill, just stronger healing and support."
"Let's kill him!"
"Everything he has, including Qiong, will be ours!"
When he said this, everyone was tempted.
Money made the heart flutter, but—
The man with the long face thoughtfully said,
"That kid is with Qiong, one healing and one ranged attacking, plus Skinny Wolf's close combat, it's a perfect combat trio."
"Then let's break them apart!" Chatam said.
"That's difficult," the long-faced man sighed.
Another professional suddenly said, "Skinny Wolf has gone back to his room."
Chatam's eyes sparked, he imdiately said, "You guys get along with Skinny Wolf on normal days, go congratulate him, get him to treat you to drinks."
"What about Qiong and that kid?" the long-faced man asked.
"I control the entire underground bunker, I'll observe tonight, just wait for an opportunity to deal with them!" Chatam said.
The n exchanged looks.
"All the money we get is split equally, and the won are for all of us—move out!" Chatam said indifferently.
"Yes, boss!" they responded in unison.
...
In Qiong's room.
"Always rember, never go to the last page of my book," Wu Xiaode said.
"Yes," Qiong earnestly promised.
"Alright," Wu Xiaode relaxed and waved her over, "now tell about the situation here."
"The bunker is very hidden, and there's sandstorms outside, you generally don't need to worry about what's outside."
"Then how did you get injured?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Qiong pointed downward and softly said, "The real problem is deep inside the bunker—there is a rift there, harboring many ghost creatures."
"I see," sighed Wu Xiaode.
Outside, there were sandstorms.
Inside, a horde of ghosts.
These people were truly living through harrowing tis.
—There was nowhere to run, they could only find ways to confront the ghost army.
He accidentally nudged the ga controller.
Qiong imdiately spun halfway around on the spot, taking the bow from her back into her hands.
Wu Xiaode quickly explained,
"Sorry, it was an accident."
"No worries... Actually, this End of the World Bow can only cause normal damage now, the only impressive thing is the enhancent from the skin,"
Qiong said and then put the bow away, looking back at him with eager eyes.
"Arian, do you need to control ?"
She lightly twisted her waist, striking a pose that could transition into various movents any ti.
"No need," Wu Xiaode put away the ga controller, and spoke seriously, "The significance of this skill is that, as long as you have a save point, I can revive you."
"How do we find a save point?" Qiong asked.
"You may need to leave this starting house, go out and explore, head towards the direction with enemies until you get a prompt," Wu Xiaode explained.
With a wave of his hand, a screen of light and shadow imdiately flashed in mid-air.
The screen was showing Qiong standing in the room.
—The most crucial thing now was to go out and explore, to find a save point.
That way, as long as he still had Gold Coins—
Qiong would have an immortal life!
Qiong, who had once been a matriarch of an entire clan, instantly realized the significance of this matter.
"I'll check out the underground rift; maybe I can find a save point there,"
she said as she prepared to head out.
"I'll go with you," Wu Xiaode stood up and said.
"Worried about ?"
"You can't be revived yet, of course I need to look after you,"
"Hehe."
The two left the room and hurtled through the narrow corridor.
Naturally, so people saw them en route,
but who dared to interfere with Qiong's matters?
—Her injuries had completely healed.
Wu Xiaode, thinking more deeply, asked softly,
"Could soone sabotage us again?"
"They shouldn't, I'm the primary combat force, without , they would have a hard ti fighting," Qiong said.
"What if they kill and take you captive?"
"I would fight to the death for you."
Alright, no need to say more than that.
They passed through the winding tunnels and several public gathering spaces, finally arriving deep underground.
This was at the end of the bunker.
A huge chanical tal door blocked their path.
"Thanks to this door, we were able to catch our breath and ultimately survived in the bunker,"
Qiong remarked emotionally.
"Is the Hell Rift just beyond this door?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Exactly."
Qiong typed a sequence into the chanical tal door.
Boom, boom, boom—
The heavy door slowly opened.
Behind the door,
a rift nearly three ters wide appeared before them.
Cold winds blew from the rift.
"There aren't many ghost creatures at the entrance; so have been cleared away,"
Qiong stated.
She had already taken out her bow, ready for combat.
Wu Xiaode glanced at her character attributes.
"Prison Fla Ranger."
"Initial Level."
"Power 1.5;"
"Agility 1.5;"
"Obtain special skin ability after leveling up."
Not strong enough.
A few ghost monsters rushing over could possibly injure her.
"The bow and arrows are long-range, follow behind ," Wu Xiaode said.
He passed by Qiong, who was leading the way, and walked in front of her on the path.
Qiong huffed, sped up her steps, and overtook Wu Xiaode, taking over the task of scouting once again.
"You're not familiar with this place, let do it."
She said without turning her head.
Wu Xiaode raised his eyebrows.
"This isn't child's play; if you die, that's it. Listen to ," he said with an unquestionable tone.
Qiong held her head high and kept walking forward as if she hadn't heard him.
Tch.
Won are troubleso.
But it didn't matter—
Wu Xiaode took out a ga controller and gently pressed a few buttons.
Qiong imdiately stopped in her tracks, stepped back a few paces, and let Wu Xiaode take the lead.
She seed surprised at first, and just as she was about to struggle, she thought of sothing and her face turned sowhat red.
"Hehehe."
Qiong let out a shy chuckle, stuck out her tongue, and obediently followed behind Wu Xiaode.
The two traveled for a while.
The wind ahead beca colder and colder, even carrying intermittent whimpering sounds.
The terrain suddenly sloped downward.
Yet, they still hadn't seen any ghost crowds.
Qiong explained:
"In order to clear this area, hundreds of professionals died, but they only managed to secure a two hundred ter safety range."
Wu Xiaode crouched down and examined the thin layer of fine sand on the ground.
—This was the sand from the sandstorm.
"Did you guys put this sand here?" he asked.
"Yes, the ghost crowd can sll the scent of the sandstorm, so they don't co this way," Qiong said.
Wu Xiaode couldn't help sighing.
Even in such desperate circumstances, humans could still think of a way to keep their race going.
—That's humanity!
"How do you solve the food issue?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"It's sowhat scarce, but we can handle it for now. There is a big supermarket two kiloters away; we know humans can't cross the sandstorm and haven't figured out a way yet."
Qiong smiled softly, "—yet you ca through the sandstorm."
Wu Xiaode was about to speak when he suddenly felt so movent from afar behind them.
Boom boom boom—
The echoing sounds of a rumble ca from a distance.
—It was the door that sealed the Hell Rift!
Qiong's face changed, "It's bad."
Before she could finish speaking, a small rocket flew past them and headed deep into the rift.
While Qiong was still dazed, Wu Xiaode had already reacted.
"Don't move."
Before the words were out,
He had already scooped up Qiong, turned into a lingering shadow, and dashed swiftly towards the depths of the rift.
—That rocket was a monster lure!
Timing it with the rocket's explosion, the ghost monsters were going to launch an attack imdiately!
Recalling the thickness of the steel gate—
Retreating now, it would take quite a while to completely open it.
There was only one way left.
Help Qiong find a save point.
Hurry!
Wu Xiaode ran at full speed, and soon he heard an explosion coming from deep within the rift.
That was the rocket!
He disregarded the impact wave from the explosion and plunged diagonally into the rift, advancing at full speed.
Move forward!
Finally—
Among the dense crowd of ghost monsters, a bare stone platform appeared.
A line of ice crystal characters erged beside the platform:
"Save Point."
Wu Xiaode's eyes hardened, and he was instantly overjoyed.
"It's there!" he pointed it out to Qiong.
"There are too many monsters; we can't get through," Qiong said, her face pale.
"It's okay—"
Wu Xiaode's aura suddenly surged.
He went into battle mode!
"Kunlun Mountain Immortal Peach Orchard Gatekeeper Child" skin imdiately activated!
When facing ghost monsters, all attributes doubled!
Wu Xiaode didn't even look at the several Netherworld ghost soldiers charging at him, his form flashed, and he broke through their encirclent towards the stone platform.
In the dense crowd of ghost monsters, strangely, no monster could hold him back.
"Make way!"
A huge special ghost monster erged from the crowd.
A strong sense of oppression suddenly erged in Wu Xiaode's heart.
—This guy is strong!
As he continued to run, he shouted:
"Scram."
The special ability of his exclusive skin activated!
"All evils disperse."
"Choose a ghost monster and 'banish' it back into the depths of Hell (once per hour)."
In an instant.
The large special ghost monster disappeared.
Wu Xiaode jumped onto the bare platform, putting down Qiong.
"Starting save... three seconds required—"
"Done!"
Qiong called out in succession.
