Chapter 313 Escape, Killing the Messenger, Blood Shark Leader Blocks the Door
Xiao Yun jumped out of bed with a start, stood by the window, and stared at the small Western-style building in the center of the settlement, his eyes flashing wildly.
He wasn't sure at which point he was exposed, and now wasn't the time to dwell on that.
"If Gu Shen finds out I'm here, in my current state, I'll definitely die a horrible death!"
Xiao Yun's face was ashen, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.
During the time he was unconscious, Gu Shen continued to grow stronger. Given that guy's ruthless style, he was now at least a top-tier legendary figure, and might even have already stepped into the next rank.
"Even if I have a title that allows me to be resurrected once, Gu Shen's methods are unpredictable. Even if I am resurrected, I may not be able to truly escape."
"And we can't waste this precious unconditional resurrection here."
Xiao Yun took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a resolute light: "Therefore, there is only one path before me!"
Leave this place immediately! Use the speed advantage of the [Wind Boat] to kill that person before they can warn you!
Having made his decision, Xiao Yun no longer hesitated and immediately began preparations.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yun swept away all the useful items in the room, even putting the tables and chairs into his system inventory.
After the room was emptied, the rats, lizards and other small animals hiding in the corners had nowhere to escape and were all refined by Xiao Yun.
"There were five rats, three lizards, and two stink bugs in total."
Xiao Yun roughly assessed the combat strength at his disposal and sighed helplessly.
"With just these few rotten fish and shrimp, they definitely won't be able to escape."
"We have no choice but to use that thing."
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, and with a thought, a crimson-gold regular 32-sided cube appeared in his hand.
It is precisely the [Wrath of the Candle Dragon].
Xiao Yun had prepared a lot, but he used up almost all of it in the battle against the Son of Death.
What I have now is the last one.
"I originally planned to use it when I encountered a powerful enemy in the sixth sequence."
Xiao Yun sighed softly.
After using up this last [Wrath of the Candle Dragon], he will have no more trump cards to threaten high-level professionals for a short period of time.
"But in this situation, there is no room for hesitation."
Summon a rat and use the Death Ring to elevate it to the ninth rank, granting it mana to detonate the Wrath of the Candle Dragon.
"Go to that place, find that pretentious, treacherous guy, and blow him up!"
Xiao Yun pointed at the Western-style building and gave orders to the undead rat.
"Squeak!"
The undead rat nodded frantically, stretched out its front paws, carefully cradled the [Wrath of the Candle Dragon] in its arms, and then quickly ran towards the Western-style building.
Watching its figure disappear into the shadows, Xiao Yun turned around and took out the [Wind Boat].
With a thought, the [Wind Boat] began to start.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the delicate little boat seemed to grow larger and larger in the room.
Xiao Yun multitasked, monitoring the movements of the undead rats while simultaneously restricting the Wind Boat, planning to launch 0 at the last moment.
The immense mental burden caused his face to gradually turn pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
Fortunately, the gate of the mansion was already within reach in the eyes of the undead rat.
Just as the undead rat darted out of the shadows, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Where did this rat come from? It's so big!"
"This rat is trying to rush into the building! Stop it! Stop it!"
The alarm sounded instantly, and the presence of more than a dozen professionals appeared.
Xiao Yun frowned slightly and sighed softly, "That Eric guy is really vigilant. Even though he sees that I have no strength, he still set up such a tight defense."
Just then, Eric's seventh-order aura gradually awakened.
Without further hesitation, Xiao Yun commanded the undead rat: "Detonate!"
"squeak!"
Upon receiving the order, the undead rat ignored the falling knives around it, bit down on [Wrath of the Candle Dragon], gathered its magic power in its teeth, and suddenly exerted force.
*Sizzle*
The scimitar tore its body apart, and at the same moment, a crisp cracking sound rang out.
Click—click—
The world seemed to freeze, and a touch of crimson gold illuminated the darkness above the gathering place.
Eric's pupils constricted as he reached the door, his face filled with terror.
Just as he turned to run, a loud, long cry pierced the sky.
"roar!!!"
The Candle Dragon awoke with a start, and its boundless rage swept across the heavens and earth.
boom!
A burst of intense flames erupted, plunging the entire world into a loss of color.
Only a glimpse of blue appeared just before the explosion.
A small, slender boat, as thin as a shuttle, broke through the bungalows and disappeared into the sky like a streak of light.
But after flying only ten meters or so, the speed of the small boat suddenly dropped, and it was overtaken by the gust of air that swept behind it.
boom!
The shockwave crashed down, and the small boat spun and swayed in the air like a leaf in the wind.
After flying several hundred meters, the momentum finally subsided.
Splat—
The small boat landed on the sea, creating waves.
Inside the boat, Xiao Yun suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
However, it wasn't shaken; the Windship has excellent shock absorption and protection, and the aftershocks of the impact were not enough to harm the passengers inside.
"Cough cough cough, damn it, operating this thing is too much trouble."
A wave of intense fatigue and emptiness washed over him; he felt weaker than ever before, as if he might faint at any moment.
Xiao Yun shook his head abruptly, took out a bottle of [Spiritual Spring] from his backpack, and sipped it slowly.
The warm, clear spring water flowed into my limbs and bones, and I slowly recovered.
Once he regained consciousness, Xiao Yun didn't dare to delay. He anchored the ship at Blackstone Harbor and ordered the Wind Ship to proceed on its own.
When operating at normal power, the Wind Boat can gather the magic power of the world and operate on its own. Only when operating at super power will it require the manipulator's magic power.
This explains why the Wind Boat suddenly stopped and why Xiao Yun overexerted himself.
However, even when operating on its own, the speed of the Wind Boat surpasses that of ordinary ships and even modern speedboats, reaching a terrifying 120 kilometers per hour.
On the sea, a line of waves surged, and the shuttle-shaped wind boat, like a missile, sped towards Blackstone Port.
Inside the boat, Xiao Yun took medicine to recover while simultaneously controlling the [Eternal Sleep Space] to absorb the marine creatures that had been accidentally killed by the Wind Boat.
The door to the eternal resting place opened, and small carts went in and out, carrying corpses like diligent farmers.
Xiao Yun finally saw through the structure of the [Eternal Sleep Chamber].
In the dark room, rows of rusty, oversized freezers stood there, radiating a chilling aura.
"Oh, it's a morgue."
Xiao Yun was speechless, his feelings complicated.
Even though I didn't care before, seeing what this thing really looked like still made me feel a little uncomfortable.
However, as the number of undead in the [Eternal Sleep Chamber] increased, Xiao Yun's unease gradually disappeared.
In particular, under the effect of the Gift of Death, his physical and intelligence attributes rose rapidly, and Xiao Yun's mood also became pleasant.
Soon, a black dock came into view.
Blackstone Port was a small, very rudimentary settlement, resembling a medieval Western port town.
On the simple lighthouse in Black Rock Harbor, the night watchman was dozing off when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of the wind-blown ship.
The night watchman stood up and looked at the sea with a puzzled expression.
Seeing the rapidly approaching wave and the green shuttle like a cannonball, his eyes widened instantly, and he let out a sharp, explosive sound.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The alarm sounded, and the once silent Blackstone Harbor sprang into action like a startled wild beast.
More eyes turned to the rapidly approaching Windship, revealing wariness.
Meanwhile, at the harbor, on an inconspicuous little boat that had just docked, Eric's messenger glanced at it briefly before focusing on his mission.
"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; it has nothing to do with me."
The short, blood shark bandit chuckled, looking at Blackrock Harbor with flames dancing in his eyes.
"This mission is important, and the boss gave me a lot of money. Besides delivering the message, I can also have some fun."
"Hmph, those bitches on Red Street have always looked down on me. This time, I'm going to take on three of them! Let's have a good fight!"
Just as he was getting excited, the roaring sound in his ears became even more deafening.
He turned his head in confusion, then suddenly realized: "That thing—why the hell is it rushing towards me?!"
He belatedly realized what was happening and his face showed a look of horror as he took steps to run away.
But it was too late.
Whoosh!
The wind-borne boat rushed over like a dump truck, crashing straight into the small boat he was in, smashing the simple, dilapidated wooden vessel to pieces.
Amidst the splashing water and splinters, a group of undead creatures reached out, grabbed his sleeve, and dragged him into the abyss of death.
In a matter of seconds, it was all over.
The onlookers stood there, mouths agape, stunned.
Deep within Blackstone Harbor, a pair of aged eyes looked over, scrutinizing the uninvited guest.
On the other side of the island, in an elegant alchemy workshop.
A graceful figure emerged from the workshop, gazing towards the docks, a hint of joy in her eyes: "The winds of illusion and reality, and the power of death—has the little man arrived?"
Inside the Wind Boat, Xiao Yun ignored the attention of the others.
Looking at the newly appeared undead in the [Between of Eternal Slumber], now only a head, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"it's over."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yun steered the Wind Boat, preparing to flee.
But before they could fly more than a few meters, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
Eric's icy voice rang out: "Scholar Gu, where are you in such a hurry?"
