Putting the map in his arms, Kaxiu went straight to the third floor.

The light shone, and dense spider-web-like black lines crawled all over the space. The floor, walls, and even the ceiling were all covered with these ancient and exquisite rituals.

These lines are not only on the third floor, but also have entered the wall, covering the entire shelter tower. As long as Kaxiu provides spiritual blood as energy, it can be transformed into a safe house.

Standing at the staircase, Kaxiu turned his head and looked in the direction leading to the fourth floor. The shelter tower above had collapsed and was damaged, and some of its original functions were naturally unusable.

Fortunately, the three main functions of the Sanctuary Tower are in the first three floors. The resurrection altar on the first floor is the most important, the doom library on the second floor explains and guides new souls, and the defense array on the third floor provides protection and filters out disasters in the air.

As long as these three abilities are still there.

The main function of the shelter tower is now mostly complete.

Kaxiu stepped forward and walked to the center of the third floor. There was a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a person, showing a dark blue translucent texture. On top of the crystal, a metal disc half the size of a palm was suspended in the air, appearing to be stationary.

He reached out his hand and grabbed the disc in the air.

There were spiral lines on the surface of the disk, like a silver-white vortex from the outside to the inside. In the center of the vortex, a carved eye was tightly closed.

Kaxiu took a look and then followed the instructions in the Doom Library on the second floor and stuck the Soul Master's Certificate in the middle of his chest.

It just happens to coincide with the position of the wisdom rune.

Suddenly, a burning sensation flashed across my body.

Looking down, the metal disc had disappeared. Only a vortex pattern was left below the neck, in the center of the collarbone. The tightly closed eye in the middle was now open.

It was like the eyes of a living person, emitting a faint blue light.

The Soul Master's Certificate is a mark of spirit, not a physical object that can be carried with you. This also means that even if Kaxiu ends this time of reversal and returns to the real world, he can still use the Soul Master's Certificate to return to the world of disaster, which is equivalent to a ticket.

The Soul Master's Certificate corresponds to the activated shelter tower.

It is possible to forcibly drag in the spirit of Kaxiu from the real world.

It should be noted that it is best to enter the disaster world at night in the real world. Because the disaster is reversed from reality, the dark night of reality is the day of the disaster. In the daytime of the disaster world, the disaster that is everywhere in the air will be weakened to the extreme.

A spirited body can move for longer periods of time without going crazy.

In addition, the danger level of the disaster world during the day is reduced. Many powerful dark creatures in special areas will fall into a lazy and dormant state, and only some not-so-strong beasts will appear.

After Kaxiu took away the Soul Master's Certificate, he returned to the second floor.

According to the map of the world of disaster in his hand, he searched for information about the Pale Land. About half an hour later, Kaxiu finally found some information about the City of Gray from a pile of books. The City of Gray was located in the northwest of the Pale Land.

Adjacent to the Despair Bone Forest, the dark creatures born there have two characteristics. One is the skeletalization of the Despair Bone Forest, and the other is the burning characteristics of the Pale Earth. It should be noted that the Ashes City is a special area in the Pale Earth, and its burning characteristics are different. It is more like the residual heat of the Ashes after burning.

Black smoke, poisonous fire, and gradually increasing corrosive temperatures.

The combination of these two characteristics naturally formed a dominant group in Huijin City, which can be called the Huijin Clan.

The information that Kaxiu obtained included pictures and details.

Beast Class: Gray Warrior, Archer, Lancer.

Wild Beast Level: Vertebral Blade, Dark Fire Warlock.

Disaster spirits: the poisonous smoke giant, the Lord of Ashes City and his nine avatars.

First of all, there is one thing you need to understand. The world of disaster is not the real world. The body is made up of spirit. If the spirit is damaged or consumed, the strength of the spirit will decrease and become weaker.

That is, it's more like a game with lives.

Kaxiu couldn't ignore the low-level wild beasts. Once they formed a numerical advantage and used the terrain to block the concentrated fire attack, he would probably not get any benefit. This was equivalent to the weak in the real world being unable to break the defense of the strong, but in the disaster world, the defense would definitely be broken, even if it could only cause a little damage.

After thinking for a moment, Kaxiu returned to the first floor.

According to the information in the Book of Doom, he unlocked another function of the Resurrection Altar. Displaying time. The day and night here are constant, twelve hours in the day and twelve hours in the night. And now, two hours of the day have passed.

The clock-like shadow in the air above the Resurrection Altar records everything faithfully.

Kaxiu pressed his chest. The Soul Master's Certificate had another function, which was to record the body's madness value.

There are five levels in total, and you will be reminded once for each level.

In the middle and late stages of the third tier, Kaxiu can consider returning to the Sanctuary Tower and using a defensive formation to filter out the disaster.

Once the concentration reaches the fourth level, his body and spirit will involuntarily lose his sanity.

Emotions become more impulsive, irritable, and aggressive.

At the fifth level, the soul master will inevitably begin to transform into a beast. In the early stage, if the willpower is strong enough and decisive enough, and if they rush back to the shelter tower, they can still be saved. But once they reach the middle of the fifth level, they are completely hopeless and will inevitably degenerate into a beast.

What needs to be noted is that the changes in the five levels of madness value are not only related to time, but also to the state of the soul-controller itself. In the case of injury or excessive consumption, the efficiency of the madness value increase will be much higher than before.

"There are still ten hours left, that should be enough..."

Kaxiu took the map of Gray City and slowly left the tower.

At the same time, in another corner of the Gray City, collapsed stone pillars and walls formed large areas of ruins. The densely packed buildings blocked the light, casting huge shadows.

In the shadows, a black robe moved silently.

The ghost man came to carry out the mission of Black Rain Villa, and the location was the Lord's Mansion of Huijin City. There was no doubt that the central area was quite dangerous, and there was a possibility of encountering the Lord of Huijin City. This was the most powerful disaster spirit in the Huijin City area, and it was very difficult to deal with. There were ten Lords of Huijin City, one of whom was the real body, and nine were clones. Each Lord of Huijin City had the strength of a disaster spirit!

Once one of the clones encounters an enemy, nearby clones will rush over. Depending on the situation, they can either choose to siege or merge into a stronger Gray City Lord.

It can be said that the Lord of Gray City will only become stronger as the fight continues. In the end, ten disaster spirits will attack you alone. Or, even more terrifyingly, ten of them will unite into one, and the Lord of Gray City will release all his combat power.

Therefore, you must be careful on this trip. The ghost will take the thing and leave without stopping. And if you encounter a difficult dark creature on the way, you will choose to take a detour to avoid it.

despair.

His steps suddenly stopped and he leaned against the back of a building.

On the empty main road in the city ahead, the dull sound of bone armor colliding could be heard. In the distance, a team of Gray Warriors walked slowly, with a somewhat lazy posture. Obviously, this was because it was daytime, and the activity of dark creatures had dropped to the lowest point.

Even so, the streets were still filled with a bloody and fierce atmosphere. These Gray Warriors were generally over two meters tall, about two to two and a half meters. They were covered in a heavy full set of armor, which was made of bones growing from their bodies. You could vaguely see the flesh and blood vessels clinging to the gaps in the armor. The outline was huge, with ferocious edges. The Gray Warriors held a cross-shaped sword in their hands, which was a grayish-white color of bones. The sharp edge was covered with traces of blood.

In addition to the Gray Warriors, there were also several archers. They also wore full sets of armor, but they were much thinner.

The most bizarre thing is the bone bow in the hands of the Gray Archer. It grows directly from the arm and forms a long bow shape. The surface of the bone bow is wrapped with skin and blood vessels, and the entire bowstring is completely formed by a bunch of tough blood vessels twisted together. There are grooves on the inside of the forearm, and arrow-shaped bones are piled up inside. Once in battle, they can be broken off and used directly.

It is worth noting that the entire arm of the Gray Archer was emitting black smoke and had lava-like cracks on the surface.

I don't know if it will have any effect on the arrows shot.

The ghost stood in the shadows and hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to rush out and kill the beasts quickly, there was another noise on the street, and it turned out to be four or five three-meter-tall figures.

The whole body is like a werewolf, with strong legs in a reverse joint posture and claws that can be firmly embedded in the ground.

The upper body was swollen and muscular. Half of the body had spider web-like cracks, and there seemed to be a flash of fire under the cracks. This was a mad beast-level vertebral swordsman. As for their swords, they were naturally hidden in the body. There was a protruding bone handle behind the neck of the vertebral swordsman, and the entire huge blade was embedded in the body, using the spine as a scabbard.

They were breathing heavily, with black smoke coming out of their nostrils, and their eyes were bloodshot, extremely red, and filled with roaring anger.

Looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

The ghost stopped his steps. Four or five wild beast-level dark creatures, especially in the disaster world, were not so easy to deal with. He decided to play it safe and be as cautious as he had been a few times before. Just wait for them to pass by.

Three seconds later, the ghost was glad for his choice.

A vague figure shrouded in black mist and gray appeared, suspended in mid-air, exuding a dangerous aura.

It turned out to be a clone of the Lord of Gray City! Disaster Spirit Level!

The ghost asked himself, if it was a one-on-one fight, he could win by using all his means. But the problem was that the Lord of Gray City had many clones. Once a fight broke out here, they would all come to siege.

Anyone who gets entangled by it is likely to be close to death.

Due to the appearance of the black fog figure, the ghost immediately reduced his breath and presence to the minimum, waiting quietly for the dark creature on the street to pass by, and then looking for an opportunity to sneak away.

In Gray City, never fight against the Disaster Spirit level.

These are the principles that the ghosts set for themselves.

Just as his mind was churning with thoughts, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the main road in the city, as if a steamroller was coming all the way. The huge vibration was almost visible to the naked eye, because the gravel on the ground had been shaken to a height of several centimeters.

"Such a loud running noise can only be caused by a poisonous smoke giant..."

The ghost was thankful again, otherwise he would have encountered two disaster spirits in an instant. He turned his head and looked towards the street intersection.

A large group of Gray Warriors and Gray Archers rushed over like a can of sardines. They were no longer as ferocious and brutal as usual, but instead showed the fear of wild beasts.

call!

!

A strong wind came down from the street, its huge body blocked the sunlight, and its shadow covered the ground. The Gray Warriors covered by the shadow had their eyes wide open and ran like crazy.

However, it was still too late.

Peng!

A ten-meter-tall giant of poisonous smoke smashed down and swung in a huge arc in the air. It was obviously used as a weapon by someone.

Snap, snap, snap…

The two-meter-tall Gray Warrior was smashed flat like a hammer hitting a can, and the meat and juice inside burst out.

The ghost looked closely and suddenly found that it was a two-meter-tall figure that grabbed one of the legs of the poisonous smoke giant and swung it down like a hammer. The movement was calm and it seemed that even lifting a ten-meter-tall giant was easy for him and his strength was immense.

After the loud noise, Kasu raised his weapon again.

Dragging all the way, he ran towards the direction of the black smoke figure.

He got the map of Gray City in the Sanctuary Tower. The place with the most and densest dark creatures was undoubtedly the City Lord's Mansion. Kaxiu planned to quickly accumulate the first spiritual blood to activate the tower's defense array, so he couldn't be timid. So after understanding the situation, he chose to jump in directly.

The information from the Doom Library showed that there was no Ultimate Dark Form in the Gray City area, which also gave Kaxiu a firm belief. As long as he was still at the fighter level, he was not afraid of any opponent.

Peng!

The weapon made from the giant's corpse was swung out again.

More than a dozen dark creatures were smashed to death on the spot.

"How dare you kill the Gray Tribe members in front of me..."

"You!" "Bang!

!”

The city lord, who appeared to be a black smoke figure, rushed over while roaring, and the black smoke on his body quickly expanded to four or five meters.

Just as he was about to take action, he was instantly knocked away by the huge force.

The Lord of Gray City was like a baseball. He was swept by the corpse of the poisonous smoke giant and flew backwards like a cannonball.

A trail of black smoke appeared in the air.

The body directly crashed into the surface of a tall building, creating a huge hole, and the remaining momentum continued as it flew wildly towards other blocks.

Bang! After a few seconds, a muffled sound was heard from afar.

“Ouch!”

An angry roar, along with a terrifying aura, rose into the sky hundreds of meters away. It was obvious that the Lord of Huijin City had fallen into a state of rage.

On the main road, Kaxiu, who had knocked the Lord of Gray City flying with one blow, turned a blind eye to this. He just continued to swing his weapon, smashing the remaining dark creatures on the street to death one by one as if they were moles.

There was blood all over the place, and it made a lot of noises. It was extremely relaxing.

In the shadows, the ghost swallowed quietly.

This hunter who entered the disaster tunnel with him was quite extraordinary! Just from what he showed, he was definitely not an ordinary civilian expert who had just joined the Dark Hunter Organization. He was at least a shadow hunter of the Dark Hunter Organization! Even...

It is not impossible to be the strongest Holy Light Hunter among hunters!

The ghost was shocked, and still shook his head as he looked at the huge column of black smoke rising into the sky in the distance.

Even for a master at the level of Holy Light Hunter, it is not wise to provoke the Lord of Gray City in the disaster world Gray City.

Ten disaster spirit-level beings swarmed over, and the only thing they could do was to flee in fear. What if the Lord of Gray City got too angry and merged all his clones into one? The process of hunting him down would be even more brutal!

There is almost no chance of survival.

This brave hunter is probably in trouble...
