Chapter 535: Chapter 348: Going Alone [New January, Asking for Monthly Pass!]_2
Time!
Time!
What they lacked was still time!
But——
"I can’t take it anymore!"
"Need to go out and get some air!"
Wang Zhengyi had stayed in Red Moon City for ten days and couldn’t stand the harsh environment. More importantly, he didn’t have enough Essence Stones for another round of exploration for both of them. "Let’s take a break, and while we’re outside catching some air, let’s carefully sort out the threads of the [Ninefold Thunder Blade]. In ten days or half a month, when we’re fully prepared, we’ll head back in!"
Wang Zhengyi realized the high difficulty of the ’Difficult Level’ task and understood that the [Ninth Layer Thunder Blade] was not something that could be completed in a short time, so he prepared himself for a long-term battle.
"Alright!"
"We’ll go back in after some time has passed."
"It’s just as well, giving ’Stone Demon’ and ’Red Demon’ more time to investigate."
Yan Chuan agreed.
As soon as they stepped out, Yan Chuan turned down Wang Zhengyi’s invitation to team up and went straight to the Yan Family Army’s training ground to teach martial arts for a day. Then he activated the ’Level 40 Star Stone’ to connect to the ’Twin City World.’
The world changed.
Only a day had passed before Yan Chuan returned to the gray haze of Red Moon City.
This time.
Alone.
...
"No way!"
"Arghhh!"
"It hurts so much!"
Red Demon felt a piercing itch and stabbing pain in his five internal organs and six hollow organs, like being bitten by ten thousand ants. The pain was so overwhelming that he couldn’t control himself and transformed into the ’Red Monster’ on the spot, bursting out of his clothes, standing a yard tall, full of anger, rage, and incredibly strong, with clear muscular lines, exuding a sense of power.
Bang bang bang!
Red Demon was trapped in a specially-made steel cage and couldn’t get out. He could only go into a frenzy inside.
Fire Demon reluctantly withdrew his hand and glanced at Stone Demon——
"No, no, no!"
Stone Demon was frightened, quickly waving his hand: "Let’s keep it like this for now. The person doesn’t seem to have any intention of killing us to silence us. Whatever they ask me to do, I’ll do."
Beside him.
Light Demon, a beautiful woman, frowned: "Even the ’Abnormal Fire’ of the second elder can’t burn away this ’Life and Death Talisman’——"
She didn’t expect that this lousy ’Life and Death Talisman’ could be so troublesome.
Thinking for a moment.
Light Demon looked at Red Demon and Stone Demon: "Gao Chong is best at inciting people’s emotions. He masters the ’Twelve Labor Emotion Formation,’ which can affect the body’s Twelve Main Meridians, spreading to the limbs, bones, entire meridians, acupuncture points, and even the Dantian Qi Sea, leading to a person’s downfall or rebirth. Why not invite him to have a look?"
Gao Chong!
Twelve Labor Emotion Formation!
This was one of the ’Four Evils,’ the ’Qi Evil.’ Although the ’Four Evils’ and the ’Four Demons’ both belonged to the ’Destroyer’ organization, the ’Four Evils’ were more like ordinary colleagues compared to the closer ’Four Demons,’ not even friends.
Invite Gao Chong for treatment?
"I don’t trust it!"
Stone Demon shook his head.
Red Demon, after a frantic crash and regaining his human form, also disagreed: "Compared to Gao Chong, I trust that person more!"
This was the reputation of the ’Four Evils’——
Notorious!
Committing every evil act!
A menacing presence!
Utterly ruthless!
Even they, Stone Demon and Red Demon, feared and couldn’t trust their ’own kind’!
"Recently, Red Moon City has been turned upside down by the ’Ninefold Thunder Blade.’ With that person investigating the Divine Artifact, we might as well cooperate and assist, maybe we can also get a share."
Stone Demon could petrify but wasn’t obstinate. On the contrary, he knew how to adapt.
Can’t beat them?
Then join them!
The Four Demons exchanged glances, reached a consensus, and agreed swiftly.
...
Far in the East City.
In a large artifact refining workshop made of steel, Xia Ning was studying how to improve the ’Spider Silk Bracelet.’ Limited to firing spider silk, the ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ was somewhat lacking in utility. If the shot spider silk could form a ’Spider Web,’ it would be much more effective in capturing or seizing treasures.
However, refining Exotic Treasures is difficult, creating them is hard, and improving them is also challenging.
In the R&D room.
Furnaces blazed fiercely with Earth Fire, burning hotly.
On the workbench before Xia Ning were four Exotic Treasures: the ’Spider Silk Bracelet,’ ’Spider Feather Wings,’ ’Spider Battle Suit,’ and ’Spider Belt.’
Among them, the ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ was crafted by Xia Ning based on her mutated abilities.
The ’Spider Feather Wings’ were transformed from the ’glider wings’ of organizations like ’Flying Eagle Hall’ and ’Chang Kong Association.’
The ’Spider Battle Suit’ was inspired and modified from the ’Black Night Battle Suit’ of her old rival ’Black-clothed Man.’
The ’Spider Belt’ was an accessory to the ’Spider Suit,’ hidden beneath the ’Spider Battle Suit,’ capable of storing reserve Spider Silk Liquid, Spider Puppets, Black Spider Shocking Devices, and other gadgets to enhance the ’Black Spider’ members’ adaptability and survival capabilities in complex situations.
However——
"The ’Belt’ would be best if it could develop a ’Mustard Space.’ That way, the ’Spider Feather Wings’ could also be stored together. Also, where to place the ’Spider War Car,’ which I’m about to successfully research and that runs fast, before and after use is a problem. Not being able to carry it with you is the biggest disadvantage. If the ’Belt’ can store items, all challenges would be easily solved."
Xia Ning is an extremely talented Artifact Refiner, but she is unfamiliar with crafting Exotic Treasures of the ’Mustard Space’ type. Firstly, she lacks the technology, and secondly, all kinds of materials needed for crafting space-type Exotic Treasures are strictly controlled in Red Moon City and even the White Bird Sacred Land, monopolized by historical families, making it hard for her to acquire them.
It’s difficult, difficult, difficult!
Xia Ning independently established and controls the vast ’Black Spider’ organization, but she also has her own troubles.
Just then.
"Leader!"
"Someone has improved the ’Spider Silk Bracelet.’ Not only can it shoot spider silk, but the silk can also form a spider web, and the shot web can switch to compressed ball or rope form. The enhancements are so impressive, so stunning!"
Number One strode in and presented a drastically modified ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ from the layers below.
"Oh?"
Xia Ning was taken aback.
Accepting the ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ from Number One, she immediately noticed the differences from the one she crafted. When she activated it, the ’Spider Silk’ indeed weaved into a web, then compressed into a ball, restrained into a rope.
Xia Ning had pondered for days, considering only adding a ’Spider Web’ function to the ’Spider Silk Bracelet.’ Yet this ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ in her hand had developed additional functions, its power worlds apart.
"Where did it come from?" Xia Ning asked Number One.
Number One immediately recounted the entire encounter between Tan Zhen and Yan Chuan, then handed over the partial remnants of the "Thousand Spider Poisonous Hand" and "Soft Red Spider Rope Skill" secret manuals to Xia Ning.
"They’re both quite powerful." Xia Ning glanced at them, putting them aside. At first glimpse, these martial arts surpassed her "Silver Silk Flying Spider," enhancing her combat capability, but Xia Ning had little interest in martial arts. She was more intrigued by how that person managed to improve and craft a stronger ’Spider Silk Bracelet.’
"This person is a great talent!"
"If we could recruit him, gain his help, and develop more ’Black Spider Sets’ together——"
Xia Ning’s eyes sparkled brightly.
...
The Four Demons.
Black Spider.
Yan Chuan controlled his pawns and scattered bait, without urgency.
His first visit here was with Wang Zhengyi through the ’Earth Gate,’ with the main task being the [Ninth Layer Thunder Blade].
This time, sneaking in through the Star Stone, his goal extended beyond just the [Ninth Layer Thunder Blade], no longer merely about completing a task——
"Red Moon City!"
"Another brand-new world!"
"I now have a ’Level 40 Star Stone.’ With the ’Gravity Domain’ activated, the surrounding twenty yards are all covered, and even ten or a hundred Innate Grandmasters would have to bow down. There is also the ’Star Gate,’ allowing free entry and exit from the [Twin City World]."
"Here——"
"I have no restraints!"
Yan Chuan had the intent to act recklessly, without any constraints, intending to pick up the ’White Horn Trumpet’ and lecture martial arts through one street and district after another in Red Moon City, using "Mutual Teaching and Learning" to harvest countless feedbacks.
But this was too arrogant.
"Innate Grandmasters are nothing to fear."
"But there are Abnormal people here, and Divine Artifacts. My ’Level 40 Star Stone’ may not be as foolproof."
Even if the ’Star Stone’ was forcibly enhanced to level 41, it might not provide sufficient peace of mind.
There’s always someone better!
If someone could ignore the ’Star Stone,’ wouldn’t Yan Chuan’s true body be at risk here?
Therefore——
"Steadiness comes first!"
"Grow quietly, don’t want high profile!"
Based on steadiness.
Based on "Mutual Teaching and Learning."
Yan Chuan quickly formulated a comprehensive plan, divided into three aspects——
...
