Of course, the last thing we cannot forget is Wu Xian, the captain of Zhongzhou team and the T0-level existence of combat power.
In the past year in the Jyu-Onigami world, besides delving deep into the shallow with Zhan Lan at all hours of the night and day, Wu Xian spent most of his time basking in the sun. Sometimes, he even flew directly to near Venus to let his superhuman bloodline grow rapidly.
By now, several physical attributes in his six-dimensional abilities have reached an incredible level, far surpassing those of most professionals who specialize in close combat.
In this way, with the sharing of powers continuously obtained from Wu Xian of the Dragon Clan, he also made great progress in spirit power and element control. His defense ability against magic and other supernatural energies is further improved.
And as for Tianming person Wu Xian, the recent progress has been quite impressive as well.
I remember the last time I met him, he had already mapped out the map of Huangfeng Pass and had snatched the divine abilities of 【Copper Head】 and 【Outside-the-Body Technique】 from Ling Ji.
To be honest, with such top-level configuration, even Dracula, the final boss of Van Helsing, a blood prince who possesses double A-level bloodlines and can fully utilize them, Wu Xian is confident that he can single-handedly blow him into oblivion, even with minimal damage.
Unless the Main God is utterly fickle and after Wu Xian kills Dracula, he drops in a four-and-a-half middle divine being who completely masters the Light of the Soul, or even a four-level high divine position...
Haha! That's impossible!
No matter how abstract it is, it should follow basic laws.
If we really do this, how can the Main God's space cultivate excellent tools, and how can it fight with the grandchildren of the Honghuang Heaven Court? Wouldn't it be wonderful to just surrender directly to the other side?
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Wu Xian secretly thought that he had this one in the bag, and he became more confident about his upcoming horror movie trip.
Soon, the countdown ended, and the familiar white light and the accompanying dizziness came. Wu Xian's consciousness also fell into chaos.
But unlike before, Wu Xian could distinctly feel that now, as long as he wanted to, he could easily wake up during the teleportation process, rather than being knocked out and sent to another world by the Main God. This was one of the signs of his substantial increase in power.
However, Wu Xian is not prepared to do this, at least not now, and at least not until he awakens the Light of the Soul. He will only consider trying after that.
Soon, the feeling that couldn't be described disappeared, and Wu Xian instantly woke up from the confusion. Then he looked around and found that the Main God had teleported them into a mysterious forest.
Although it wasn't as dark as night, the surroundings were shrouded in thick mist, with very low visibility.
What can be seen are all distorted ancient trees, each one snarling and wriggling, hard to make out the full appearance. From a distance through the mist, they look like a still picture of a chaotic dance of demons.
Next, there was a commotion from beside him, as the other eleven members of the Zhongzhou team also woke up in turn, faster than before.
In addition, there were some unfamiliar figures still lying on the ground, obviously new arrivals sent by the Main God this time.
"Six new people?"
After confirming the number of new people this time, Wu Xian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Six new people, plus the twelve official members of the Zhongzhou team, making a total of eighteen for the difficulty level.
The number is not quite at the limit, but it's close. This means that the Main God believes that this world is very dangerous for the Zhongzhou team.
But it's still the same, that is to say, how could the mere "Van Helsing" make the Zhongzhou team feel pressure now, even after being strengthened by the Main God?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lift his hand and look at the task content displayed on the Main God's wristwatch—
【Main Quest: Find the origin of the bloodsucking race in this world and destroy it... Task completed, all team members receive two B-level side quests and reward points of 7000 points】
Wu Xian: (ー`ー)
Not right, very not right.
There is no mention of directly eliminating Dracula, but instead creating a supposed "origin of the bloodsucking race" and rewarding all team members with two B-level side quests...
According to the experience from the previous Jyu-Onigami world, as well as Wu Xian's understanding of the Main God, there is a high chance that this again falls into a big trap.
"Is it really possible that the flag has been fulfilled, and there really is a half-divine being of the fourth rank in this world? But I didn't say that out loud in my heart. Do we really need to make such a big deal out of it?"
Wu Xian made a complaint, and suddenly, a loud curse echoed in his ears.
"Fuck! Who the hell are you, bringing me to this goddamn place?"
From among the newbies, a bald, muscular giant with a thick gold chain around his neck climbed to his feet. Staring at the surroundings for a moment, he then glared at the group with an exaggeratedly fierce growl.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the Zhongzhou team were not wearing armor but rather casual clothing that blended in with ordinary people. Apart from their overall attractiveness, they had little difference from ordinary people.
Among them, Mou Gang and Qi Tengyi are both tall and burly, but because they are simple and honest in character, they do not exude much of a threatening presence. Perhaps that is why the bald giant felt so fierce yet inwardly weak.
"Speak up! Are you all mute?"
Seeing the Zhongzhou team staring at him in a strange way, the bald giant felt his heart tighten, but his face showed even more savagery. He flexed his fists as big as pots and gestured:
"Don't play dumb with me. Just straighten things out clearly, or I'll knock you all into little pancake shapes with one punch!"
Here we go!
One punch, two pancakes, the legendary both-heaven-and-earth thunder fist!
This has become Zheng Za's catchphrase later on, and in the original plot, this line came from a new arrival in a deity and ghost combat, which should be the bald giant in front of them.
Wu Xian faintly looked at him, and then immediately used his spiritual consciousness to compel him to kneel and crawl on the ground, covering his mouth so that he couldn't scream loudly. He paid no more attention to it and focused on the other five new people.
"It's interesting. Out of the six, five are pretending to sleep. Is the Main God going to send people again?"
Thinking so, Wu Xian said to the few of them, "Alright, stop pretending to sleep now. Especially you in the robe, the others pretending to faint is one thing, but you using a turtle breath technique to feign death is a bit too much."
"Zhong zhong zhong————"
Just as Wu Xian finished speaking, over a dozen long needles shrouded in black mist streaked towards his vital points at lightning speed. Even the ghostly wailing and screeching sounds reached his ears, indicating that these were no ordinary weapons.
But Wu Xian did not dodge or avoid them; instead, his spiritual consciousness transformed into a barrier, easily blocking the black needles. He then redirected them and sent them back towards the young man in the robe at an even faster speed.
At the same time, the robe-clad youth suddenly opened his eyes and moved like a fish, avoiding the fate of being pierced through by the black needles. He transformed into a cloud of black mist and rushed towards somewhere in the forest, seemingly trying to escape.
However, the youth did not know that the barrier from the Main God not only protected the newly arrived reincarnators from harm but also prevented them from leaving too far before the plot officially begins.
Therefore, when the black mist flew out ten meters and collided with the invisible barrier, it immediately dispersed, reverting back to the appearance of the robe-clad youth. His face also turned ashen.
Besides failing to escape, the youth also noticed that his whole body was covered in a multitude of blue talismans that appeared at some point.
At this moment, these talismans were releasing a powerful binding force that hindered the flow of Qi and Yuan within his body, as if he were shackled, making it hard for him to move at all.
Suddenly, a huge force struck, as if an invisible hand pulled the youth back to his original position. He stiffened his face and looked at the rest of the Zhongzhou team, before focusing his gaze on Wu Xian, struggling to smile:
"Great skills of Daoist friend! You can silently capture Dao here without making any noise. The Daoism of symbols is so high that it is unknown where the master comes from. Also, it's called Zhu that dies in peace."
"Zhu?"
Wu Xian raised his eyebrows and carefully inspected the youth, then said, "Before asking someone's identity, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? Don't think you can deceive us with this little trick. It won't work."
The youth fell silent, about to speak, when Chu Xuan's voice without any emotional fluctuation rang out at that moment.
