Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1318 - 165: Evil Spirits Rampant, Holy Grail War
"But fortunately, this place is often crowded with exploration teams. When there are enough people, if we happen to guard a cave where a Third-tier Demon emerges, it’d be like hitting the jackpot. However, what our team really needed were Warriors and veterinarians, our Iron Armor had unfortunately died long ago. We had actually given up, but since you, Commander, are willing to come..."
Saying this, the four of them simultaneously turned their gazes towards Xu Shu.
Xu Shu immediately understood.
"Got it, there are Corpse Spirits in this place, right?" he said calmly.
"Yes, yes!"
The four nodded their heads like puppets.
"Robber" Yu Qiuling whispered, somewhat embarrassed, "So here, actually, you might, perhaps, have to toil a bit, you’ll have to keep, keep..."
She seemed a bit shy to say more, always appearing gentle and weak, making it hard to figure out how such a person could become a "robber."
But before she could finish, Xu Shu waved his hand broadly and said, "No need to say more, it’s settled, you lead the way ahead!"
Initially, he only wanted to avoid the "natural disaster," but in the end, he stumbled upon such a fixed spawn point for monsters in the ruins, Xu Shu really regretted not knowing earlier.
If only I knew there was a fixed spawn place for Corpse Spirits! Why did I bother looking everywhere else!
Seeing his enthusiasm, the four women gritted their teeth, laid down the burden in their hearts, and set off decisively.
They determined their direction, with "assassin" Huang Jun exploring ahead, carving out a safe path.
During this, to their slight surprise, they found that "Lord Xu Shu of the Judgement Department" seemed to be genuinely approachable.
As a superior, he turned out never to have any objections to Huang Jun’s choice of path and just quietly followed behind.
This made everyone less guarded and more favorable toward him.
Halfway through the journey, Xu Shu suddenly got the urge to ask, "Hey, Xiao Chen, what were you saying earlier? What do you mean by your Iron Armor had died long ago, was it not that I almost managed to save him?"
Xu Shu was somewhat puzzled, clearly having seen the person being drained alive by a mermaid due to lack of stamina.
At his words, the "witch" Chen Shiyun, who was not small at all, casually replied, "Oh, our Iron Armor was burned—mmph!"
Beside her, Yu Qiuling covered her mouth precisely and forcibly dragged her aside, stuffing that fire word back in.
Then, facing Xu Shu’s astonished and puzzled gaze, she continued, "Well, Commander Xu, she remembered wrong, you didn’t see wrong, indeed our Iron Armor was not skilled enough and was harmed by the mermaid."
As she said this, the pink-themed delicate "robber" blinked her eyes sweetly, showing Xu Shu a pitiful expression.
"Uh..."
This sister doesn’t look like a good person, they say pink-haired girls are black on the inside, the ancients did not lie to me~
Xu Shu clicked his tongue, although he noticed the other was indeed hiding something, he was entirely uninterested in prying into their privacy.
He said no more, quietly following along.
Before long, they saw a huge raised hill ahead, not particularly high, it looked like a small plateau at first glance, with a steep slope connecting it to the ground.
Once on top of the hill, they could see clearly that ahead was a vast basin, at least dozens of miles in circumference.
The surrounding ring of bare hills enclosed this place, under overcast clouds, they rose and fell like the corpse of a giant dragon fallen here.
Within the basin, there were numerous ruins of buildings, with jungles of steel beams and primordial forests vying for attention, during which one could see everywhere there were large dispersed cave passages, as if formed by meteorite impacts.
Xu Shu stood on the edge of the volcanic basin, gazing at the undulating cave entrances below.
Those dark openings looked like festering sores, erupting a jet of dark green gas every few minutes, accompanied by variously formed monsters, expelling them into towns, valleys, and forests.
In response, teams of Transcendents swarmed in, wielding swords or cannons, slaughtering the bewildered monsters that were thrown out.
Even from afar, one could hear the shouts and explosions within the ruins of the basin.
Of course, there were also some teams chased by the dense swarms of monsters, left in disarray, though they were not many.
But it was noteworthy that Xu Shu observed through his inspections, that all the teams fighting within the basin shared a massive commonality.
That was, every team had a burly man, riding a mermaid at the front, shielding everyone from the wind and rain.
In a short time, he saw dozens of small Transcendent teams, each taking the same form!
At the first glance, it looked truly like wails filled the fields, cannon fire everywhere.
Yet this was only within the range Xu Shu could see with the naked eye.
One can imagine, deeper within this basin, further in the expansive valleys, how many "Warriors’" brothers were fighting for dreams, sacrificing themselves here.
Their faces contorted, to create a safe condition for their teammates amidst the monstrous swarms, they sacrificed their looks, bodies, spirits, undoubtedly first-rate heroes, grand in spirit, commanding respect.
"Exploration of this scale... this can’t be called exploration anymore, this basin is practically a fixed battlefield."
"Hiss, I understand, this is the legendary Holy Grail War! No wonder they call this the Endless Valley, truly spectacular!"
"So many caves, so many monsters, so many people, so many fish, endless, it never ends!"
