Chapter 454: Burying the Body, Plan Slowly
Time flies and it's dawn.
At this moment, the fire and chaos in Tianyuan City last night had long since subsided, and only some blocks were being repaired by a large number of civilian craftsmen, proving how fierce the battle was at that time.
Suddenly, a speeding figure appeared on the fish-belly white sky.
When he got closer, he could see that it was an extraordinary young man riding a maroon Pegasus. It was Wang Zhifan who came back from the surrounding area on a red deer horse.
"It's just dawn, and I've used up all my teleportation quota for the day... It seems that I have to arrange for some clones to be spread out as much as possible, so as to shorten the travel time in case of emergency."
Wang Zhifan thought in his heart as he flew into Tianyuan City on a red deer horse and landed at the entrance of Wuzun Palace.
He fought very hard last night, and the process was smooth. Except for joining forces with Mo Tathagata to kill five demons in Hezhou, he later teleported to Huangzhou and other places which were relatively close to Tianyuan City and killed two demons. Earn merit points quickly.
He jumped off the horse and summoned the Demon-Sealing Table. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Wang Zhifan saw his eldest disciple He Kuang walking out of the hall with an expression on his face that something was wrong.
"He Kuang, look at you, you didn't sleep all night last night? Did something happen in the city last night?"
Wang Zhifan saw that He Kuang was not particularly energetic, and remembered the scene in the city he had just observed from the sky, so he asked.
"Teacher, the disciple did not sleep all night. The reason is that there were suspected demons who caused chaos in the early morning, causing a lot of damage in the city. The disciple was worried that they would hide somewhere and attack the Wuzun Palace..."
He Kuang immediately began to tell Wang Zhifan what happened last night, which made Wang Zhifan frown as he listened, roughly knowing what was going on.
"Well... He Kuang, you did the right thing. Those guys are very dangerous, so you should be careful... But now that I'm back, you can rest assured."
A few words arranged for He Kuang to go to the side hall to sleep and recharge his batteries, and Wang Zhifan was ready to find someone to learn more about last night's situation.
But before that, he first studied the Demon Sealing List and found someone to get some fine fodder for the Red Deer Horse.
"I now have nearly 1,700 merit points and am ranked twelfth on the Demon Sealing List. I climbed nearly twenty places in one night. The speed of my rise is almost out of control...
But fortunately, with the Demon Tathagata and the scroll kings at the front, not many people should notice me. "
After checking the Demon Sealing List, Wang Zhifan noticed that his ranking had taken off again, which was worthy of his hard work all night.
However, the merit point gap between him and the top one is still huge, because the number one Demon Tathagata now has more than 4,100 points, which is more than twice his merit points.
After looking at the enemy distribution on the Demon Sealing List map, Wang Zhifan quickly discovered several suitable targets.
But it was a pity that they were all very far away from Tianyuan City, and he couldn't get there in time when the teleportation had been exhausted.
"Forget it, I don't have to work so hard during the day, otherwise it wouldn't be good if I ran too far and had my house stolen by a demon."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan put aside his desire to fight.
He put away the Demon-Sealing List and made sure that the red deer horse, which had already begun to eat, was satisfied with the food, and flew to Qingyang Palace, which was not far from Wuzun Palace and a few streets to the west.
The reason why we went to Qingyang Palace instead of Zhenxu Palace or Huayang Palace was that proximity was not the main reason.
The most critical reason is that the current security person in charge of Tianyuan City is Qing Yangzi. The other two Taoists are still recovering from their injuries and will not come out to take care of things under normal circumstances.
Sure enough, when Wang Zhifan arrived at Qingyang Palace, he found that Qingyangzi had sensed his presence and walked out of the inner hall.
This middle-aged Taoist who gave off a mediocre impression predicted Wang Zhifan's intention and led him directly to the underground of Qingyang Palace to see with his own eyes what he had kept last night.
"These gold and iron rare objects are all left behind by the suspected demon gang. I can't see their function, but the three friends of Taoist Wuzun seem to be familiar with them..."
Qingyangzi first showed Wang Zhifan some key items collected by his disciples last night. They were mainly technological artifacts, such as rocket fragments and burned-out laser transmitters, which were left behind during the battles between players from other worlds at that time.
"There are also two corpses that are suspected of causing chaos. There should have been three corpses, but one of them was eaten by your subordinates, fellow Taoist Wu Zun. I heard that there were only a few broken bones left when they were spit out, so I Not collected here..."
Then Qingyangzi showed the important corpses to Wang Zhifan, including the corpse of a tall, muscular white man who was in nearly intact condition, and the corpse of a black man who was in a charred pile.
When Wang Zhifan saw it, he was surprised by what happened last night, and wondered why these players suddenly died suddenly?
After some inquiries, he quickly learned the details through Qingyangzi. Combined with He Kuang's narration not long ago, he understood the cause of the matter as a whole, and couldn't help but feel very speechless in his heart.
"Good guy... two of the three players were beaten to death by Qingyangzi's men, and only one seemed to have died at the hands of a player from another world...
It turns out that the NPCs in this dungeon are more dangerous than the enemies, and the value of my SVIP identity has been greatly improved..."
The reason why he sighed in his heart was not that Wang Zhifan was making some black joke, but that after careful consideration, he realized that it was indeed the case.
Just imagine, if he didn't have the status of an SVIP player and didn't choose to be a Dao Realm person, it would have been much more difficult, or even impossible, to get to where he is now.
After all, there are many indigenous masters in this dungeon world, and they are divided into many different factions. It is very difficult for an outsider to sneak into the core layer.
Being strong alone is not enough. There are also many identity issues that are difficult to solve. If not, you might be regarded as some evil being and besieged.
But with the initial identity of a Taoist person, everything is different.
Wang Zhifan did not have any troubles about his dungeon identity from the beginning. In fact, his identity was higher than that of most natives, and he had a natural advantage in interpersonal communication.
Because the Dao realm is one of the three upper realms, one is basically the core direct descendant of the Tao sect where he was born. It is basically unimpeded to get around in the Tao sect's sphere of influence. In addition, Wang Zhifan's own strength is sufficient, and he appears to be as good as a fish in the clouds.
"Fellow Taoist Master Wuzun, in addition to one corpse being swallowed, the charred corpse was also searched by two other subordinates in your palace. The two of them also asked Pindao for the best corpse, but Pindao The Tao rejected them and left them waiting for your decision.”
Qingyangzi finally brought up this aspect, letting Wang Zhifan know that his three player partners were secretly doing something small and looting the corpses of the three players. If Qingyangzi hadn't taken action, he might not have seen a hair.
"Fellow Taoist Qingyang is thoughtful. These corpses were indeed my friends during their lifetime. Please let me arrange their burials personally to express my condolences."
Wang Zhifan stepped forward, looked at the body of the tall and strong white man, and confirmed the quality of the equipment on him. Wang Zhifan replied.
He found that the white man's equipment was mainly rare-grade, and there were only two excellent-grade equipment, namely a coat "Wanderer's Protective Body" and a tie "Weber's Stubbornness" inside.
Both of these pieces of equipment have defensive attributes.
In terms of features, the Wanderer's Armor has a limited-range random teleportation function, and Weber's Stubborn Tie has a rechargeable death-avoidance mechanism.
They are all considered practical equipment, but unfortunately they are not suitable for Wang Zhifan, and he does not like them very much.
As a person with an epic blank belt, Wang Zhifan's view of the small-scale random teleportation of the Ranger's armor as very low value is not as flexible and controllable as the spatial movement of his blank belt.
Not to mention the rechargeable death-avoidance mechanism of Webb's Stubborn Tie, which is nothing compared to his legendary Perfection ability with similar functions.
Otherwise, why would this white man be dead? It can be seen that being immune to death once in a short period of time is not safe at all. You must die anyway.
Of course, excellence-level equipment is by no means a common commodity. Even if it is just for collection, Wang Zhifan will accept them all.
He would also take away the rare equipment from the white man. He could not force them to follow the original owner into the dark world.
But this kind of searching for corpses was normal for Wang Zhifan in the past, but now he has to show some dignity. He cannot start to take off the clothes of corpses in front of Qingyangzi, otherwise it will affect his status as a dignified martial artist. Wind review.
That's why he proposed to bury these corpses himself and let Qingyangzi leave the trouble to him.
Qingyangzi would naturally not object after hearing this. In fact, not long ago, Qingyangzi habitually checked the Demon Sealing List and found that the Martial Lord in front of him had almost reached the top ten positions on the list. Of course he could have such a master in his family. You have to take good care of it, and you can't get into conflicts over trivial matters.
In this way, when Wang Zhifan left Qingyang Palace, he used the space ring to take away the bodies of the two unlucky players and the weapons left by the players from other worlds.
Then he personally flew outside the city to find a place to bury the body in the ground. At the same time, he made some necessary equipment reductions for the white player before burying him, so as to prevent him from being too burdened on the way to heaven.
As for the weapons left by players from other worlds, he destroyed them after considering their attribute types and buried the residues in the ground.
The main reason is that these things are basically not in perfect condition, and the quality is only rare at best. They are also technological gadgets and lack special value.
For him who owns the urban planet, there is no need to collect them. He only needs to go to the urban planet to order higher-end similar equipment, and he can get almost as much equipment as he wants.
To put it more bluntly, he now keeps a lot of laser weapons in the black tower, and there is no need for technological equipment.
"It seems that most of these players from other worlds are following the technological development path, but their average strength is not very strong, and they are weaker than our players...
Except for the metal ring that kills white players, which is a bit interesting, for me, everything else can basically be resisted with a biological force field...
But it is not ruled out that there are masters hidden among them, so you should be careful. "
After handling the trophies that Qingyangzi had obtained for himself, Wang Zhifan returned to the Wuzun Hall of Tianyuan City again.
He found the young man in sunglasses from the Xia Kingdom, the girl from the Island Country, and the strange white girl, and learned about what happened last night from them.
Then they were asked to pay more attention to players from other worlds in the future, be careful of these enemies sneak attacks again, and help defend Wuzun Palace if necessary.
On the contrary, he did not mention the allocation of equipment on the corpses of the three players at all, and defaulted to letting everyone take what they had already obtained, so as not to cause any unpleasantness and affect the newly established atmosphere of unity.
Nowadays, he values these people more and expects them to help protect the base camp when he leaves Tianyuan City to fight the Demon Lord.
He doesn't care about some things about misappropriating equipment, even if they may have gained good equipment, it doesn't matter to him.
Anyway, given his situation, good equipment will definitely not escape his grasp as long as he plays more dungeons.
There is no need to care too much about temporary gains and losses, and the main goal is to successfully pass the dungeon.
So Wang Zhifan repeated a similar daily routine in the following days.
He focused on attacking the power of the demon world. Most of the time he was not in Tianyuan City. He was either hunting a lone demon king alone in a place in the disaster area, or fighting against the attacking demon king army with masters on the joint list of some key cities.
Among them, he was successful in hunting alone. Few demon kings could match his personal strength and various high-end equipment that were so gorgeous that they were indescribable. Only some powerful demon kings who knew his vicious reputation had been prepared in advance and used various magical abilities in advance to escape his clutches.
Fighting against the demon king army was a 50-50 win-loss situation, because in a large-scale battle, the advantage of one person is difficult to determine the overall situation. Wang Zhifan could not really fight against dozens or hundreds of demon kings alone. If the overall situation was defeated, he would teleport and evacuate with his friends, just like when the losses were too great, the demon kings would use the teleportation nodes to run away collectively.
If we talk about these battles in detail, it will take more than one or two days to finish. Generally speaking, it can be understood that the forces of the disaster realm and the army of the demon world are consuming each other. Neither side can defeat the other, and can only rely on their own backstage to continuously replenish new blood, pushing this war step by step to a climax.
The backstage of the disaster realm is naturally the three days above. Almost every day, new super-innate masters from the Taoist realm, Confucian realm, and Buddhist realm will come to the disaster realm to help.
The army of the demon world maintains the ability to transmit power to the disaster realm, and continuously summons new demon lords and demon armies from the demon world base camp, vowing to take down the entire disaster realm at all costs.
Wang Zhifan performed very brilliantly in this protracted war, but he is only one person after all. Facing the total number of demon lords in the demon world, which is suspected to have reached 2,000, he can only take it slowly and do his best to make the demon world continue to suffer losses.
This undoubtedly caused his merit points to accumulate more and more. After only two days, he broke into the top ten of the Demon Sealing List. After a few more days, he directly came to the top five on the list.
He has become a very famous master on the Demon Sealing List, and together with super kings such as Demon Tathagata, he has attracted the attention of the entire disaster realm and the demon world.
