Chapter 17: The World of Legends

Turning over the parchment page of the special abilities, there was only less than half a page left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Xia originally thought that after recording the cultivation experience and useful information such as the existence of special abilities one after another, most of the remaining half-page parchment would not have anything of value. However, even this remaining bit of content contained a shocking piece of news that he almost overlooked: it recorded an incident that Shang Wu had overheard from the aborigines of the Taoist Temple the day before the night hunt.

The rumor from the far west mentions a place name.

Stagnant swamp!

Anyone who is a veteran of the time-traveler knows that there is no such map in the "Legends" of the Earth world. On the contrary, in the "World of Legends", a branch game of the legendary series, there is a special version represented by Predator. If memory serves, the mighty Iron Blood Demon City was built in a terrible backwater swamp. The swamp is full of ghosts and ghosts, and there are dangers everywhere, killing every step. The leader of the Iron Blood Demon King is a top boss with the strength of the three holy gods of Tianzun, Holy War, and Law God!

I have to say, this is a very shocking thing.

For a long time, Shen Xia, Fang Jin, and even the familiar travelers around him thought that this world corresponded to the Marfa Continent in "Legend". But I didn't expect that when the aborigines chatted, they would mention the names of places that only exist in "World of Legends".

What does this mean?

Was it an accident?

Is it a coincidence?

Or is it really the backwater swamp that the traversers care about?

If it's the latter, since the maps in "World of Legends" really exist, what about "Legend 3", which has a great relationship with the legendary series?

Shen Xia suddenly realized that he seemed to underestimate the mystery of this world.

“…… Combined with another piece of news, I suspect that although this world is called Marfa Continent, it is likely to contain the content of various games in the "Legend" series, and it is a much larger world! ”

At the end of the parchment, Shang Wu's own judgment is recorded.

From the scribbled and slightly distorted handwriting, it can be seen that when he wrote these things, Shang Wu's own mood was also very agitated.

………

It's late at night.

Under the dim candlelight, Shen Xia closed the parchment, rubbed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

The news recorded by Shang Wu at the end gave him a great shock. Only then did I realize that many of the things I originally took for granted may be just subjective wishful thinking, or one-sided conclusions drawn due to a serious lack of information.

Fang Jin had already come back at this time, and after taking the parchment from Shen Xia and flipping through it, he was no less surprised than him. "Where did you get this?" ”

"Shang Wu wrote it."

Shen Xia told Shang Wu about the key, and when he learned about Shen Xia's harvest from Shang Wu's locker, he couldn't help but feel envious and stunned. The former was envious of Shen Xia's luck, and the three copies of the deer blood essence were not something that the traversers in the Dao Courtyard could get casually; The one in the back suddenly understood why Shen Xia, who couldn't move the thunder to practice before, didn't go out this afternoon.

However, these emotions immediately turned into emotion: "The thing is good, but Shang Wu is a bit of a pity......"

His words made Shen Xia also silent.

After a while, Shen Xia picked up his spirits and discussed the information left behind by Shang Wu with Fang Jin.

Until the candle in the house burns to the end, shakes it a few times and then extinguishes it.

………

In the next two days, Shen Xia's life calmed down again.

Perseverance in exercising every day, and in his spare time, trying to gather more information to confirm the parchment scroll left by Shang Wu.

During this period, the "disappearance" of Shang Wu and Zhuang Yuan did not cause too much turmoil among the traversers of the Taoist Academy. Since the appearance of Night Hunt, the two are not the first to disappear overnight, nor will they be the last, and many well-informed people are accustomed to it. In Shen Xia's brotherhood, the president Zhang Qi came to offer condolences, but it was only verbal and had no practical significance.

It happened that in the afternoon of the same day, a new group of traversers came to the Taoist courtyard, the number of which was thirty or forty, with a familiar curiosity and ignorance on their faces. This group of newcomers who only crossed a few days ago due to typhoons and floods made the already crowded Taoist temple more and more lively, and indirectly diverted the focus.

However, Shen Xia, who had already seen it more than once, was unmoved and continued to follow his original rhythm.

The nutrition brought by sufficient meat, supplemented by the twelve forms of body forging, made his physical fitness significantly improved compared to before. With this alone, it is still impossible to change jobs within 100 days. Fortunately, there are phantom mushrooms in Shen Xia's locker, and he has a lot of confidence, and his mentality is much calmer than before. inadvertently combined with the Taoist priest's knowledge of inheritance and cultivation, but it is more effective than anxious penance.

On the evening of the third day after returning from the night hunt.

Shen Xia, who went to the dining hall and came back, was about to continue roasting some preserved venison and food, but was stopped by a person.

It was a pale-faced man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Through the hem of the robe, you can see the outline of the thick bandage wrapped around the legs, and you can faintly smell the smell of wound medicine. Shen Xia didn't know him, but instinctively felt that the other party was a little familiar. However, he quickly realized the identity of the other party.

"Fish Xingqing?"

Shen Xia asked tentatively.

The man squeezed out a little smile on his face and nodded: "That's the pseudonym of the night hunt." Let me introduce myself, my real name is Qing Xingyu. ”

The other party took the initiative to come to the door, which made Shen Xia somewhat surprised. However, he didn't show any discoloration about this, but shook hands with the other party amicably, and invited Qing Xingyu to enter the door.

"That night a few days ago was so dangerous that I almost thought I wouldn't be back." Recalling the moment when he encountered the poisonous spider, Qing Xingyu seemed to have palpitations on his face, and sighed: "It's a pity that Shang Wu and Zhuang Yuan ......"

Shen Xia was not familiar with Zhuang Yuan, so he could only echo a few words, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

The other party deliberately found him regardless of his injury and did not hesitate to reveal his identity, could it be that he did it to say this?

After a short thought, Shen Xia thought of a possibility.

Perhaps, the other party is here to inquire about the income of night hunting.

After all, the other party was not on the scene when it was originally assigned, so it was reasonable to have any ideas.

"The distribution of the loot of the night hunt?" Hearing Shen Xia mention this, Qing Xingyu smiled faintly and said half-truthfully: "I have already got the things from Lin Daotong, and I have heard about them after passing by." It's fair to take a copy of the Star Spirit Grass alone, and I have no objection. ”

Didn't it come for the distribution of the night hunt?

Shen Xia thought of a not-so-good possibility in his heart, could it be that the other party found out that he had taken Shang Wu's relics and wanted to intervene?

But it shouldn't!

How did he see through his disguise of bag dropping?

When Shen Xia was a little suspicious in his heart, Yu Xingqing really changed the topic, but what he mentioned was not Shang Wu's relic, but the phantom spirit mushroom!

"That phantom mushroom that day should have fallen into your hands, right?"

"Which Phantom Mushroom?" Shen Xia was taken aback, but there was a look on his face that I didn't understand what you were talking about, and he was going to pretend to be confused to the end.

"There's no one else here, so you and I will open the skylight and say something."

Qing Xingyu tore off his disguise and asked, "After coming out of the supervision of the Taoist Academy, I immediately asked someone to go over and check." The Phantom Mushroom is gone, but there are still remnants of rhizomes in the ground where they were. This proves that the Phantom Mushroom was not removed by itself, but was forcibly picked by someone in a hurry...... There is only one day before and after, if it weren't for you, would it be so coincidental that there would be someone else? ”
