Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1304 - 162: Xu Shu’s Gains

In the gloomy and damp twilight, with a ripping sound, Xu Shu tore open the space tunnel, diving through at the last moment before the small doorway closed.

He found himself standing on a half-mountain hollow, looking to his left, then to his right, seeing the iron ruins in the distance stretching like a centipede, spotting the tilted and collapsed city buildings and towers not far away, and noticing the ancient temple on the mist-covered mountain behind him with its circle-shaped wooden door.

"I’ve really returned to Japan, back to the mainland of the ’Night Parade of Hundred Demons’!"

Xu Shu quickly deduced.

This wasn’t just based on the characteristics of the ruins’ architecture but also judged by the weather.

In the Night Parade of Hundred Demons Ruins, only two types of weather existed: either a night with no full moon or a dreary, rainy day, embodying perpetual darkness!

However, although he determined he was back in the ruins, Xu Shu felt no comfort at heart, even a bit perplexed.

The reason was simple: he discovered he was completely alone, all his team members were missing.

"There are no traces of human activity around here, looks like they didn’t leave ahead without waiting for me, but rather didn’t land here at all."

"They told me being transmitted back would result in random locations, but didn’t say everyone would be at separate random spots... This is such a trap, how am I supposed to regroup?"

Xu Shu quickly realized what happened, feeling utterly speechless.

Though he was alone, Xu Shu wasn’t entirely solitary.

Because along with him came two monsters.

One was the ever-fiery mermaid maintaining close contact with him.

And the other, surprisingly, was the massive specimen of the ’biological mother’.

Its body was still entangled tightly with various talismans, nearly falling down the mountain, but fortunately, it was blocked by a large tree on the slope that required two people to wrap their arms around it.

This ’physiological mom’ of Arthur inexplicably transmitted over here as well!

"This isn’t right, is it? We were transmitted out due to forcefully squeezing into Death Report Ridge using a trigger object, and although it seemed like a secret realm, it’s a separate and complete ruin. Now that the trigger is exhausted, we’re expelled, logically explainable.

"But this biological mother, it’s originally a Third-tier Corpse King living in Death Report Ridge, not dependent on a trigger object to exist, so how did it get out and reverse into Japan?"

"Truly baffling~"

Xu Shu’s lips twitched slightly as he exchanged glances silently with the biological Corpse King.

He couldn’t fathom what logic sustained the entering and exiting of these secret realms and ruins.

A sinister rain floated in with gusts of eerie wind.

The mermaid, having not spoken for a while, blinked its dead fish eyes and breathed heavily, asking, "Hey, now would you keep your word and let me leave peacefully? I suppose I’ve completed my mission?"

It spoke, twisting its body with slight unease.

"Sss~"

"Don’t make noise, I’m thinking..." Xu Shu clicked his tongue and adjusted the mermaid’s position by holding its neck.

He then looked around; his intuition hinted that he hadn’t been to this part before and had no idea what obscure spot it was.

Preliminary judgment suggested it would be nearly impossible to reconnect with his teammates under the current circumstances.

Though the continent housing the Night Parade of Hundred Demons Ruins was merely a small island, its area was equivalent to more than the sum of two safe zones’ wasteland areas on Earth.

Locating randomly scattered individuals in such a vast region is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, something achievable only by chance.

"Looks like I’ll have to wait for the incense burner to exhaust, then be transmitted out of the ruins to regroup with them."

"With a dozen hours remaining on the countdown of the dimensional mode, fortunately, this area doesn’t seem particularly dangerous; if relatively safe, I’ll spend my time here."

After careful consideration, Xu Shu made his plan, ready to investigate the surroundings soon, and if viable, he would dig a hole and hide like an ostrich.

Given the danger of the ruins, even with considerable strength, running around aimlessly like a headless chicken and accidentally stumbling into a monster’s lair would be disastrous.

——When chased by Yan Hui and Zhang Runren with the Golden Eye Wolf Saber earlier, although seemingly without danger, firstly, contingency was always a concern, and secondly, he actually encountered several formidable deceitful monsters, though too many team members persuaded those monsters to flee.

A scene of nearly twenty third-tier individuals rushing frightened any monster from appearing openly.

But the current situation is vastly different.

As for the previous Erosion Crystal and other spoils stored with Xie Xiaochan, it wasn’t an issue for Xu Shu, trusting the bride wouldn’t shortchange him.

Moreover, he devoured numerous Yin Gods and Yang Gods with suffixes along the way, plus the final crystals in the ’dueling arena’ were all with him, making this a thoroughly profit-filled excursion; in essence, he had privately acquired a substantial amount of treasure.

Reflecting on this, Xu Shu, while remaining vigilant, determined his resolution and patted the mermaid’s head, saying:
