Chapter 1313: Chapter 164: I Am Xu Shu the Social Butterfly—Old Friends and New Acquaintances Everywhere

There are others similar, like "When the time comes, heaven and earth all unite their strength; when the time leaves, the body and mind are unfree," and "It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s this world," all reflecting the same logic!

"So, perhaps having a ’rogue’ in the Relic Expedition Team fits this logic?"

"Yes, and the rogue is skilled in the Blood Evil Technique, which in metaphysics is called Chong Sha, capable of breaking bad luck!"

"Everything matches up perfectly!"

Xu Shu, who doesn’t understand metaphysics at all, and can’t even read a character of Liu Bo predictions, Qimen Dunjia, Zi Wei Dou Shu, and other theories, but only knows the basic knowledge of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, the "fake folklorist," thought more and more it made sense, his eyes brightened, feeling as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Meanwhile, he also had a strategy in mind.

Very simply, he could find a team by himself and form an alliance with a scattered team!

The opposing party could be less strong, second-tier would be enough, and it might be even better if they were first-tier.

As long as there is a ’rogue’ to seek fortune and avoid disaster, hanging out for a few hours until it’s time to leave the relic would suffice, retreating unscathed, wouldn’t that be great!

But similar situations aren’t exclusive to him; others, like Xie Xiaochan, Gu Yue Ming, and many others, probably also face this kind of "malicious targeting".

"Hopefully, they’ll take care of themselves!"

"I wonder if I’ll encounter people through these ruins."

Xu Shu muttered to himself, looked around, and immediately began searching.

He was actually worried about whether he’d continue to be "targeted," like meeting random people even when he didn’t want to earlier, such as Yan Huoxing or the Salvation Army.

Now, when actively seeking, would he have bad luck and not meet anyone?

After all, the relic is so vast, and while there are many Transcendents "online" at the same time, barely reaching a thousand would already be impressive, right? Searching through hundreds of thousands of square kilometers is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Not encountering anyone is entirely possible.

Xu Shu even anticipated failing in advance in his mind.

However.

As the saying goes, "It’s hard to question the wings of heaven."

Maybe Xu Shu’s self-inflicted paranoia resulted in a reverse effect.

When he wasn’t holding any high hopes and was just wandering casually, within ten minutes, he encountered a group of people outside a sulfur-filled ruined city.

From afar, Xu Shu heard the sounds of fighting and yelling.

Upon closer inspection, he found a group of Transcendents being besieged by a large number of corpse pieces, retreating under the cover of the narrow terrain of the ruins.

"Oh, Corpse Spirit?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up.

The group seemed trapped in a plague of locusts, with numerous corpse pieces flying up and down densely, easy to see what was happening—definitely attracted a "Yang God·Que Yin!"

Xu Shu was a bit surprised though, dealing with "Yang God·Que Yin" shouldn’t be difficult; anyone wearing a mermaid should easily overpower them.

For the teams entering the Night Parade of Hundred Demons relic, wasn’t the combination of ’boatman’ + ’veterinarian’ + ’Warrior’ enough to handle it?

This should be the easiest local resident to deal with, so why did it seem like the group was struggling?

Quickly glancing, Xu Shu, through the dense "blood worms," could vaguely see a stout man with a fish body and human legs fighting, but he seemed unsteady on his feet, about to fail any moment.

This Warrior fellow is not quite effective... why does he look so weak? Xu Shu mused.

Waiting for half a minute, the group was about to fall soon, and Xu Shu, through observation, confirmed their strength didn’t surpass second-tier.

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate much and jumped in with clenched fists.

"Everyone, don’t panic, I’m here to help!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the sky, golden light suddenly burst forth, overlapping like a golden waterfall descending.

Boom!

Holding a whopping seven layers of "Iron Wall" shields, Xu Shu descended from the sky, accurately landing among the crowd, reversing hands to form an iron wall.

Generally, Iron Armor wields Iron Wall shields, while Xu Shu turned into a small Iron Wall Fortress, instantly shielding five pedestrians seamlessly.

Ping, ping, ping~

Amidst successive collisions, Iron Wall Fortress isolated inside from outside.

Outside, the bloody "Que Yin" doppelgangers continually crashed into the luminous stone walls, getting bloodied while continuing to split and proliferate;

Inside the fortress, Xu Shu’s mermaid gills opened and closed, spewing out a sea of "Mang Worms."

The octopus balls instantly protected their master, spontaneously battling the inner Que Yin worms, fighting and killing, not long before they dismembered and devoured all the corpse pieces.

At this point, although the outside Que Yin’s true body remains unknown, the fortress interior gained a moment of peace.

"Ah?"

"Saved..."

"Thank you, brother, for the lifesaving grace!"

The five were both surprised and thrilled, with four being women, gentle and charming in appearance and figure, all looking at Xu Shu excitedly, almost in tears as they expressed gratitude.

The only male youth who fought alone against the swarm of corpses, with sunken eyes, pale face, and scrawny build, looked at Xu Shu.

His mermaid contracted and expanded.

His mouth opened and closed.

Seeing things weren’t right, Xu Shu thought of something, prolonged use of the mermaid results in problems, leading to direct drainage of essence, blood, and flesh to death.

He hurried to pull the fellow: "Hang in there, buddy..."

But before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly shivered violently, shaking like a sieve, with both bewildered and empty eyes.
