Xuefu condensed a translucent square grid, trapping Xu Lang inside.

Watching Xu Lang struggle within the grid, Xuefu's eyes were full of appreciation. "Seems like a hybrid of vampire and human, even rarer than a pureblood vampire."

"Hmph!" Wesright turned his head away, unable to bear watching closely.

After making his comment, Xuefu wanted to take Xu Lang to the collection room.

Suddenly, Xu Lang inside the cage raised his knife and slashed it across his own neck with a *whoosh*, then promptly went limp and died.

Xuefu's eyes widened. He had never encountered something like this before.

The cage in his hand shattered, Xu Lang automatically returned to normal size, falling to the ground, the knife wound on his neck a shocking sight.

"Tsk~ Brother Xu Lang is so resolute!" Wesright also widened his eyes.

The situation wasn't completely without room for negotiation.

He really thought highly of Xu Lang. If there was a chance in the future, he might be able to find a way to rescue him.

"Damn it, a failed collectible!" Xuefu was furious.

No!

It seemed he wasn't completely dead yet!

Wesright noticed Xu Lang's finger twitch!

The next second.

Xu Lang came back to life, opening his eyes while simultaneously rising and drawing his blade!

Ghost Slash mixed with Innate True Qi, creating a wonderful chemical reaction that made the Ghost Slash resemble a terrifying ribbon of flowing light, condensed from brilliance!

Xuefu took this slash head-on.

The corner of his clothes was slightly dirtied!

A second slash followed closely.

This was a horizontal slash like flowing light!

Xuefu raised his hand to block, his palm colliding with the flowing light blade from half a meter away, creating a terrifying shockwave!

*Crack~*

The blade couldn't withstand the pressure, actually developing cracks.

Xu Lang decisively abandoned the blade, kicking towards Xuefu's chest.

However, this kick was still blocked by an invisible force.

Mad flames surged, swirling around Xuefu, but just couldn't get close.

"It's useless, brother, your tier is too low." Wesright shook his head and said.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Xu Lang also gave up.

The number of Blood Nightmare uses was limited, and he didn't want to waste them in such a meaningless place.

Xuefu's eyes grew colder and colder. Just as he was about to do something to Xu Lang, he saw the latter suddenly disappear.

"Where did he go?" Xuefu couldn't believe it.

"I don't know." Wesright was bewildered.

Xuefu looked down at a small bloodstain on his finger, his expression shifting uncertainly.

What exactly was that radiant power just now, that it could actually injure him.

...

After Xu Lang chose to return, everything before his eyes froze. Xuefu and Wesright seemed to solidify in a painting, while he himself kept floating upwards towards the sky.

Suddenly, Xu Lang opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

He had no injuries on his body, as if he had just taken a trip in a dream.

"Xu Lang, you're back!"

Cao Yaxuan and the others all gathered around.

"Mhm." Xu Lang nodded and asked, "Where are the things?"

Xu Ruyan and Tong Qi brought out the items.

The main items were two Sequence Objects and the clothes worn by the Animal Tamer.

The Animal Tamer's clothes were a Level Eight outfit that provided attributes, very rare.

Xu Lang casually put on the Animal Tamer's buttoned red jacket, looking somewhat mismatched.

But this was already within the normal range among the player group.

Everyone was like this. If you weren't, it would actually be a bit strange.

"I also got a new deck of cards. Anyone interested?" Xu Lang flipped his hand and produced a deck of playing cards.

[Madness Playing Cards X54]

[Level: 10]

[Type: Equipment] 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

[Lethality: 330]

[Durability: 200/200]

[Effect 1 (Madness): Targets hit by the playing cards have a certain probability of falling into madness]

[Effect 2 (Dazzling): The playing cards have confusing properties]

[Decomposition yields: Madness Will X1]

[Upgrade Condition: 17000 Nightmare Coins]

To Xu Lang, the Madness Playing Cards were a losing proposition among Level Ten items, not even worth fusing.

After all, odd weapons like playing cards would have poor fusion effects with blades and protective gear; the fusion result would definitely be below Excellent.

For equipment, if the base stats are poor, even the best special effects are useless.

The girls looked at each other, none of them really wanting it.

Seeing this, Xu Lang put away the Madness Playing Cards and looked at Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan. "Have you thought of a way to become a Killer or Animal Tamer?"

Tong Qi immediately looked distressed. "Master-level Hidden Weapon skill scrolls are too rare. We shouted in the chat room, but no one has one."

"What about the zoo?" Xu Lang asked.

The Animal Tamer seemed a bit like a summoning-type Sequence; he was quite interested.

"No leads." Xu Ruyan shook her head.

Cao Yaxuan suddenly said, "If it's about starting a zoo, I do have a bit of a clue."

Everyone looked at her.

In a ghostly place like the Mad King building, you can't even see the fur of a small animal, let alone talk about opening a zoo.

"Ahem!" Cao Yaxuan coughed twice, putting on airs. "Looking at it directly, the Mad King building indeed has no animals, but don't forget, some pet dorms come with pets. If we could capture those pets..."

As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Xu Lang immediately asked, "How many pet dorms are there in the Mad King building?"

"I'll go ask Huihui!" Wang Yazhi replied.

Wu Huihui often went out and was also a Floor Leader, so she was very clear about these things.

Not long after, Wang Yazhi said, "Four. They have a rabbit, snakes, a parrot, and a leopard respectively!"

"Too few." Xu Lang pondered for a moment, then said, "Spread the word: For players who choose a pet dorm in the next dorm upgrade round, I'll give an extra one hundred thousand Copper Coins."

The girls all nodded repeatedly.

Pet dorms weren't a rare type of dorm. With this one hundred thousand Copper Coin bonus, quite a few people should choose it next round.

"Xu Lang, does this thing have any significance?" Cao Yaxuan took out a small certificate.

It was exactly what the gray-feathered raven spat out.

[Dusk City Resident Certificate]

[Type: Prop]

[Level: Unknown]

[Effect: Use to enter Dusk City; use again to return to the original location. Cooldown time twenty-four hours]

[Introduction: Dusk City is a harmonious and friendly city. The residents here are kind and enthusiastic, with simple and honest underworld customs]

"Put it in the storage room..." Xu Lang started to say, then grabbed the Dusk City Resident Certificate. "Forget it, better put it in my backpack, in case you use it recklessly."

This thing seemed to be able to directly teleport someone to Dusk City, very dangerous.

Cao Yaxuan was immediately a bit angry. "Do I seem like such a reckless person?"

"This isn't about being reckless or not. As long as there's a possibility, it must be eliminated." Xu Lang shook his head and replied.

"Alright then." Cao Yaxuan shrugged.

Xu Lang said to Xu Ruyan, "Take out the golden nectar for everyone to use."

"Okay!" Xu Ruyan nodded.

Next, everyone started applying the golden nectar.

Although they were already old acquaintances, at times like this they would still hide in their rooms. After all, being all oily and shiny looked too indecent, making people very embarrassed.

Xu Lang was also applying it, and he had Xu Ruyan apply it for him. He lay on the bed completely naked.

"Finished applying?" Xu Lang asked.

"Mhm!" Xu Ruyan responded.

Xu Lang turned over. Both side A and side B needed to be coated.

Xu Ruyan soon blushed, burying her head.

...

After properly opening up his back with the essential oil, Xu Lang sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for the game countdown to reach zero.

Xu Lang sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the small group chat with Li Shuwen, Zhang Dahai, and others.

After some inquiries, Li Shuwen and the others also had no leads on Hidden Weapon Mastery skill scrolls.

Actually, even a low-tier Hidden Weapon Mastery would be fine; Xu Lang could enhance it.

But unfortunately, there wasn't any.

The only good news was that Zhang Dahai had a Pet Treasure Chest. Opening it could yield a Level Five pet, with the pet type being random.

Originally, Zhang Dahai wanted to give it to Ye Fan, so the latter wouldn't be so lonely.

Now, Xu Lang bought it over.

Time flew by, and the countdown soon reached zero.

Finally, at a certain moment, the Dormitory Broadcast sounded.
