Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1214 - 133: Death Report Ridge

"I wonder if he’s dead this time?"

"That was my last big move, damn it!"

Xu Shu clasped his hands, praying that Yan Hui would die beneath his "Fu Shiluo Xuan Chuan Ci."

However, he couldn’t see it, because the entrance closed after he struck.

He was now moving through a passageway that seemed spacious but felt incredibly tight and constricted.

Could it be due to the differing sizes of the secret realms?

Xu Shu wasn’t quite sure about this; all he knew was that this tunnel was much longer than the one he entered Wangsi City (Shimizu Temple) before.

But no one could answer Xu Shu’s questions now, as Xie Xiaochan, Lu Bingwei, and the others closed their eyes tightly upon entering the passageway, the pain on their faces slightly diminishing, as if they were seriously resisting something.

Meanwhile, the infant soul gnawing at their brains ceased its action, gradually becoming ethereal and shrinking.

"It seems that after breaking the connection with the other side, the counterattack from the Blood Covenant lost its source and is weakening, disappearing?"

Xu Shu thought to himself, but his hands were not idle.

He used his hands and feet to twist and wriggle through the narrow tunnel walls, driving everyone forward.

In the process, Xu Shu remained vigilant, observing his surroundings, while glancing at the annotations of the Tai Chu scroll.

[You are passing through the boundary barrier, and it seems that nothing is happening around you.]

[Everything is quiet here, as though there’s not even the sound of blood flowing, except for your constant writhing, rubbing against the moist tunnel.]

[Hello, you slipper-wearing male pupa.]

...

"Screw the male pupa!"

Xu Shu rolled his eyes, feeling slightly relieved.

There wasn’t any ominous "Oops!" moment, indicating no hidden dangers around for now.

He focused on moving forward, pushing against the bride’s back.

After about ten minutes, suddenly the front became empty, and the whole world brightened abruptly, almost blindingly.

With a slight feeling of weightlessness, Xu Shu successfully landed on the ground.

The solid touch underfoot felt comforting, and his vision gradually restored.

He found himself at a similarly silent seashore, only it wasn’t a wild cliff but a place resembling a pier.

The port held many abandoned old ships, with decks and materials aged, creaking under their weight.

Not far away was a city that seemed to have just undergone the baptism of war.

"Death Report Ridge," finally arrived!

Also known as Silent Ridge, collapsed buildings and ruins twisted together like varicose veins, with steel bars protruding skywards—a distress signal from people trapped in the ruins before the apocalypse.

The air was filled with a pungent scent, seemingly a mix of scorched odors, decomposing animal bodies, and unknown chemical agents.

The smell was bearable enough for Xu Shu.

[After all, you’re a man who can even eat shit; mere stench is nothing.]

"Can we not bring that up?"

Xu Shu rolled his eyes again, glancing at the broken town, recognizing the buildings and landmarks, and sighed slightly.

Indeed, this was the place!

He had entered here before, not just in legends accompanied by Xie Xiaochan, but personally.

However, it was under rather special circumstances—in the "Expedition."

At that time, he was a first-level "Warrior" from D8B3 District. After a failed team expedition, he wandered alone at the wasteland edge, becoming an edge walker.

During this period, he accidentally encountered the "Tailed Ksitigarbha," straying into a hidden illusion, and was sent into the so-called Divine Kingdom by Nie Qiba.

That supposed Divine Kingdom, as it turns out, was this Death Report Ridge!

It’s worth mentioning that when Xu Shu was sent into Death Report Ridge, he stayed less than three seconds before being forcibly expelled by that world.

Now, however, he could remain without issues, likely because of the lack of Heart Fire Incense Burner protection before.

After all, being able to enter without an incense burner is possible only for dead and extinct relics, like Gu Family Ancestral Land, Hero Association Headquarters, and Penglai District’s "Four Sufferings Mysterious Sect."

Yet, this relic is evidently still alive, thus naturally repelling the living. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After briefly orienting himself, Xu Shu didn’t rush forward, instead continuing to lead the train, guiding everyone away from the pier into the town.

Nearby, he found a relatively intact auditorium and entered, setting everyone down.

He planned to camp here, waiting for everyone’s "contract backlash" to completely subside before discussing the next steps.

Thud! Thud!

Gu Yue Ming, Jiang Biyun, and the other five "novices" rolled to the ground after landing, not moving, like drunk single women outside a bar, ready to be picked up.

However, the "Fallen Apostle" Ali awoke first from her coma, visibly the strongest among the six.

After slightly breaking free from the contract curse, she first gritted her teeth to nod at Xu Shu in thanks, then noticed Yan Huoxing, wounded all over, almost losing his human form.

With a slight surprise, she quickly took out some potions with fierce colors and gave them to Yan Huoxing—at the "Veterinarian" stage three, her healing style was wildly different from other professions: either dosing herself with strong drugs or whipping people, extremely violent.
