Chapter 429: Chapter 103: Xu Shu’s Three Expeditions (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3"Fuck, who else is there!?" The next second, he suddenly heard a soft sigh. "——B!" Accompanied by the lingering sound of the woman’s sigh, and as his vision flipped, Xu Shu realized he was dead, a flash of red and black light fleeting before him. That cunning little thing, the enemy had taken advantage of the moment he was weakened from the big battle to launch a sneak attack on him. His second expedition ended there. The assessment Xu Shu received was: "The one who stirred storms and reigned supreme, yet you’ve fallen time and again in places that seem safe, wake up, is that really where you should return home to? Do you understand the value of the phrase ’returning home’?" [Obtained item: Self-Imprisonment (Excellent)] [Function of the item: Once it hits the enemy, it can make the enemy actively enter your trap. This trap is very broadly defined; it can be a real trap, a verbal trap, or even a fabricated NTR trap.] [Remaining uses today: 1/3] ... Thus ended his second expedition. Upon waking, Xu Shu didn’t even have a moment to mourn his own death and immediately rushed to the place where the Duke Crab eggs were buried, swiftly killing five little Demon subtypes and seizing their Erosion Crystals. Then, without waiting for the Demon "Lord of Famine" and Duke Crab Lakan to react, the all-knowing Xu Shu left with flair. He even had time to happily do sit-ups and consume two crystals during his return, as if dancing on the face of the Lord of Famine, who was utterly powerless against him. It was during this expedition that Xu Shu didn’t linger in the bunker, but instead swiftly headed west with Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming, setting up camp once more at their destination (15,19). Subsequently, Xu Shu remained silent the entire way, contemplating how many crystals he was short of reaching level 19 and what that strange "beep" he heard during the second expedition could possibly mean. He delved deep in thought. So deep that Gu Yue Ming even thought he had contracted a minor mental disorder. However, upon reaching the east, the third expedition began immediately! Forgetting what was ahead and what was behind, Xu Shu was a man who believed in revenge for an eye, especially during his expeditions, where he was invincible and ruthless. This time, he charged at the group of humanoid spirits without hesitation. Facing seven alone, he decapitated each monster, paying only the price of superficial skin wounds. That’s the value of an 18th level Peak Warrior, the confidence brought to Xu Shu by the "Prophet’s Foreknowledge, Seizing the Initiative" mode of the Tai Chu Scroll expedition. This time, he was well prepared, so after the fight, Xu Shu, operating Jingwei cautiously, and wary of all possible sneak attacks, sensed the enemy had decided not to strike. Therefore, Xu Shu hid in a corner to recover from his wounds before cleaning up the First Rank Erosion Crystals on the ground that were considered excellent dog food. Venturing deeper into the residential area, over several stubbornly leaning buildings that refused to fall, he found himself at a small hill of ruins where Xu Shu saw a well-built thatched hut. Outside the hut, he saw a man hanging dead, his throat pierced with fingers. The fingernails were painted in various colors—black, yellow, gray-brown, red, and green—all different and plentiful. Unlike some desiccated corpses, the flesh on these fingers was plump and lively and much longer than an average person’s, each measuring over a dozen centimeters. They were connected to the man’s neck by veins and tendons, almost like planted vegetation, absorbing the man’s flesh and blood to continue their growth. And inside the hut, there was a woman kneeling on the ground, softly crying, sighing with constant "ah, ah, ah." In this remote wilderness, a woman kneeling on the ground crying was certainly not normal. Most people would’ve run away. But Xu Shu, just after an intense battle with seven spirits, was at his most bloodthirsty and bold. So, seeing that the woman’s silhouette was rather graceful, he boldly approached, turning her around for a closer look, curious to see if she was some kind of sprite or if she was the one who had ambushed him. On closer inspection, he found she wasn’t some grotesquely monstrous creature, but a real person, a woman whose ten fingers had all been cut off. The wounds were ferocious, sending shivers down one’s spine. Xu Shu asked her why she was sobbing her guts out and what was the deal with the dead man outside. So, the young woman told Xu Shu, "Did you know? If you chop off fingers and attach them to another spider, they’ll grow like insect pupae, isn’t that fascinating? If I can’t complete the task, I’ll be turned into a spider too, boo hoo hoo..." (Note 1) With that, and considering the situation outside, Xu Shu surmised that the man outside was the "spider" the woman spoke of and inferred from her words that she was part of an organization. Was this yet another cult? Xu Shu asked about her mission, and the woman said, "That lord said she wanted to invite you, Lord Transcendent, for an audience, as she is an old acquaintance of yours." "Old acquaintance? Who?" "She is the master of Storm Manor, the Empress who wields disaster and blessing, her name is..." The woman’s voice grew softer and softer, but her eyes widened more and more, and she coughed and coughed, struggling to make a sound, as if something was scratching through a wall, murmuring, making it impossible to hear clearly. Xu Shu, battle-hardened as he was, feared she might die before finishing, so he quickly embraced her, leaning in to listen carefully. However, suddenly, the woman blew apart into pieces. Every inch of her flesh was splattered onto Xu Shu, rapidly corroding into his body, filling his ears with a sound. Because this was a surprise attack, Xu Shu only heard the last sound, which the Tai Chu Scroll translated as— "BBBBB!!!" Xu Shu was utterly perplexed. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was it another insult? But he quickly realized something was wrong, and that the familiar pronunciation, the familiar curse syllables. After a slight daze, Xu Shu laughed out loud, "Hahaha, I got it, Su Ji Herrera? You’re that TVB woman!" The next second, the explosive beeping sound grew louder and louder, causing Xu Shu to burst uncontrollably. [Evaluation: Impressive, spot-on! You were one of a kind! Your crime-solving skills are top-notch; you would have wasted your talent not being a great detective, but why are you so overjoyed? What on earth are you laughing at?] [You’ve acquired an item: Laughter Leads to Sorrow (Excellent)] [Laughter Leads to Sorrow (Excellent): No one can be happy in front of you, no one! If anyone dares to do so, Laughter Leads to Sorrow will show them what true sorrow means.] [Special spell item, no incantation required, can unleash a powerful attack on anyone who laughs in your presence. The louder the enemy laughs, the more powerful the spell.] [Today’s usage count: 0/3] —— The third expedition came to an end. Afterward, without hesitation, Xu Shu went straight to kill seven demons. Then, turning into a man swift as the wind, without looking back, he took the Erosion Crystals, turned on Kua Fu Chasing the Sun, and fled. His speed was astonishing.

Following that, naturally, just as he thought he was safe, he heard that strange sigh while having dinner. But this time, Xu Shu was not afraid. Su Ji Herrera, right? Evil God, right? That’s hilarious; I’m not even scared of your master, Tailed Ksitigarbha! This is inside the border line, even if you’re a Sixth Rank god, you have to curl up around me! Moreover, it’s said that a vanquished general is not brave. We fought in the Wasteland, and I clearly remember Sister Su begging for mercy under my feet, unable to live or die. The Mysterious Book is still with me. If nothing unexpected happens, this being must have come smelling the Mysterious Book! Xu Shu sneered coldly, hearing the sigh outside getting closer, suddenly he raised his hand and tossed Gu Pan a little kite. "Teacher, don’t forget to put this on!" Gu Pan looked at the familiarly shaped object, suddenly startled. This seems like... Xu Shu chuckled with a ’hehe’: "No need for ’seems like,’ this time it’s your turn to go!"
