Chapter 645 Another Battle with the Crying Monster
"Now I think I know why this Compassion Temple is special."
"So this is the entrance you used to smuggle yourself in!"
Wu Wang grinned and said to the crying-faced strange man on the other side of the hill.
The moment the other party appeared, all the special aspects of the Compassion Temple instance were instantly resolved.
Why did this instance fail several times without any obvious intruders appearing?
Logically speaking, even if the Golden Cicada's true form didn't go there, the monks in Cibei Temple who were affected should have gone to the real world as invaders, just like the mutated creatures when Mingyang City was invaded by the instance.
Now we've found the reason—
The intruders have actually entered the real world!
There was no so-called intrusion anomaly; it's just that the dungeon passage wasn't closed after the intruders left, allowing players to still enter and complete the dungeon normally.
The intruder was none other than the crying-faced monster!
He took the place of the creature invasion of reality from the Temple of Compassion!
But hasn't he already gone to the real world with his second sister?
Why is it necessary to have a slot for an intruder?
Wu Wang then suspected that while this guy's past was behind him, he probably couldn't stay in the real world for long.
Like an illegal immigrant, once he gets to the real world, he needs a legitimate identity to stay there.
The best identity is that of an intruder after failing to complete a dungeon!
"As a descendant of [Twisted], and in a world corrupted by [Twisted], your use of your own boss's copy to invade reality should be the most reasonable explanation, right?"
"No wonder I always felt that the cicadas here were too powerful; you were probably behind it, weren't you?"
Wu Wang squinted at the damaged hilltop.
Their gazes met across a great distance.
Besides the intrusion anomaly, there is another extremely strange phenomenon in the Compassion Temple: the final boss is a bit too unsolvable.
Of course, it's not a problem with crossing over.
The problem lies with the golden cicada in his hand.
Honestly, Wu Wang felt that the weapons and items he possessed were already quite powerful, definitely among the top tier of players in the current Spirit Disaster.
It's estimated that, apart from the very core members of each organization, there are probably very few people who can honestly ignore their own attacks.
After all, he had a cheat-level item bonus in the "Heretical" state.
However, even so, the creations such as the Black Buddha derived from the power of the Golden Cicada's vows can still completely ignore his attacks.
If he hadn't happened to possess a creation containing the power of "eternity," he probably wouldn't have been able to put up a single fight against that enormous black Buddha.
How can other players possibly cope with this?
This clearly does not align with the game's balance adjustments for dungeon difficulty.
That leaves only one possibility—this copy has been tampered with.
Just like the first beginner dungeon I experienced, a certain condition for survival was quietly removed or modified.
Speaking of which, Wu Wang still feels a little regretful that he didn't learn from Zhuge Yue how she tampered with the copy.
He later asked Wan Shi Tong, but Wan Shi Tong also didn't know how Zhuge Yue had done it.
If even a know-it-all doesn't know, then it's probably not something that can be done easily.
On the other hand, it really was just as I had guessed, plus what the border guards had said—
Compassion Temple was already a place that had been raided and turned into a disaster zone, and now, for some unknown reason, it has been transformed into a dungeon passage again.
This is mostly thanks to the crying-faced weirdo.
Wu Wang suspected that this guy had already made preparations to go to the real world.
The intention is to use Cibei Temple as a bridge connecting the two sides.
The modifications to the instance world were probably already in place a long time ago, and the portal to the real world was reopened after I went to the real world with my second sister.
In this way, the Compassion Temple dungeon becomes special.
No dungeon creatures will be spawned after a failed attempt to complete the dungeon. At first glance, this might seem like a good thing, but in reality, the most dangerous invaders gain the power to enter reality.
What is the problem that the crying-face monster is most worried about?
Of course, after the dungeon was conquered, the closed passage caused it to lose its status as an intruder that had been staying in the real world, thus forcing it to return to the dungeon world.
Then he needs to leave something behind in the instance to guard the entrance.
Jin Chan is the goalkeeper!
It was created specifically to prevent players from successfully completing the game!
Who knows how much of the [Twisted] Venerable's power was infused into Jin Chan?
This is to ensure that this strange disaster cave dungeon will remain open, allowing the crying-face monster to travel back and forth between the dungeon world and the real world.
That's why it possesses such outrageous characteristics.
Now that the gatekeeper has been killed by Wu Wang, the dungeon entrance is about to close, and the crying-face monster naturally can no longer stay in the real world.
He could only return to the instance to see who had ruined his plans.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Kid, I told you I'd kill you before leaving your world, but I never expected you to walk right into my trap..."
The crying-faced monster looked at Wu Wang, who was standing in the Compassion Temple, and made a similarly sinister sound, pointing his scythe at him.
brush--
The next second, the scythe pierced the space in front of him, tearing a crack in it.
At the same time, the strange crack also appeared on Wu Wang's waist.
The distance that was originally between two high mountains, so great that it was impossible to see clearly with the naked eye, seemed to become close at hand in an instant.
"Now, you can die."
A chilling glint emanated from the cracked scythe, carrying an aura that seemed determined to cleave it in two, its power far exceeding the gale force unleashed with a casual flick of the wrist.
The trees in the courtyard were swaying and bending due to the force of the strong wind, and the chill felt from a distance was enough to make the other players' scalps tingle.
They were so overwhelmed by the pressure that they couldn't even open their mouths to utter a warning.
At that moment, it seemed like the game was over.
clang--
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the Cibei Temple.
When Wu Wang's black dragon tooth blade collided with the giant scythe, the two appeared extremely small in comparison.
His equally small body crushed the bricks and stones beneath his feet, and his legs even sank a few feet into the soil, which showed how difficult it was to defend himself.
Even so, he managed to hold his own!
"Masked Monster, still as energetic as ever," Wu Wang said through gritted teeth, forcing a sarcastic smile.
This scene not only shocked all the players, but even the crying-faced monster who swung the scythe was stunned for a moment.
Back in the capital, when he swung his scythe, his opponent couldn't even react in time. He could only barely block the fatal wound with his Xiaochuan Sword and was still knocked dozens of meters away.
Such weakness, which is completely beyond my ability to deal with, doesn't even inspire me to consider it an opponent.
I just considered them a bit of a nuisance, and planned to stomp them to death before leaving.
But now, this guy actually blocked his attack head-on.
How many days has it been?
His growth rate...
It was almost unbelievably fast!
"It is impolite not to reciprocate! You shall also take my blow!" Wu Wang watched as the sickle was pulled back from the crack.
He decisively raised the elemental gun, which he had been quietly charging, and pulled the trigger toward the crack.
boom--
In an instant, a deafening roar came from the distant mountaintop.
Dust billowed into the sky, and before the dust could settle and everyone could observe closely, they noticed a figure bursting through the dust and soaring towards the direction of Cibei Temple.
The ghostly figure wielding the giant scythe looked furious, and the black cloth that trailed around his body like a cloak fluttered wildly at this speed.
However, upon closer inspection, it can be noticed that the hem of the garment has been slightly cut off.
Seeing this, Wu Wang grinned. What he had just fired through the spatial rift opened by the other party was a bullet compressed with [air element].
This bullet may not have the special properties of the other three elements, such as the high temperature of fire, the bullet malleability of earth, or the penetrating power and splash effect of water.
However, it has a characteristic that makes it difficult to defend against—that is, it has no physical form.
This is an invisible bullet.
The surrounding air is compressed, resulting in an unparalleled impact force.
The opponent had torn open a spatial rift with a scythe in their hand, and the air element bullets passed through it and arrived at their faces almost instantly.
If this thing weren't so incredibly tough, it would have been enough to completely smash the head of an ordinary target.
Even so, he was still injured.
Even if, on the surface, it's just a scratch on the hem of the clothes.
This also means that Wu Wang, who was powerless against the crying monster back then, had no choice but to run away and rely on his elder sister Wu Qing's help.
At this moment, I have the ability to fight him.
The crying-face monster is not a creature that should have originally existed in this world; to this world, he is also an intruder.
Just like his power was suppressed when he went to the real world before, he couldn't show his full strength here either. The characteristic of being unable to be harmed by forces outside of the same origin, like that of Black Buddha, naturally couldn't appear on this guy either.
"What are you all standing there for! Are you going to stay and wait to die?" Wu Wang yelled at the players, cursing, "Leave the dungeon!"
The monk Huiming was very obedient and led Wusheng down the mountain. Wu Wang told him not to look back, but he didn't look back at all.
Passion Fruit, protecting the broken hand of the mug, quickly left the instance. Only in a safe place in the real world could it be better healed; staying behind now would only be a burden.
Ruoshui glared angrily at the crying-faced monster.
Under that overwhelming pressure, Fortress and Emberheart also raised their weapons.
He replied, panting heavily, "Boss Wei, the squad leader never taught us to abandon our comrades..."
boom--
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the figure of the crying-faced monster crashed into the temple courtyard like a meteorite.
The distance between the two mountains was so vast, yet he landed so quickly with a simple leap; such power was truly terrifying.
His gaze remained fixed on Wu Wang.
He completely ignored the hostile stares around him.
The rest are nothing but ants.
"Damn stubborn bastard!" Wu Wang kicked Jin Xin's heavy hammer, sending him flying all the way to the temple entrance, where he almost tumbled down the steps.
Using the recoil, he jumped onto the head of the crying-faced monster and instantly created several clones that slashed at its head.
One of the clones landed and grabbed Bastion by the collar, shouting, "Bastion! Emberheart! On the mission!"
"Return to the real world! Notify those outside to seal off this area! No one is allowed to approach within ten miles!"
"That's a fucking order! Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Xin, who had been kicked away and was about to get up and run back, also showed resentment in his eyes.
Even when he was just an ordinary person, the rigorous training he underwent in the military never made this man, who was hailed as a king among soldiers, shed a single tear.
But now his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, unwilling to agree.
He and the fortress were naturally unaware of the feud between Wu Wang and the crying-faced monster, but the order sounded like the other side wanted them to retreat and stay behind to help cover the retreat and sacrifice themselves.
Even disregarding Wu Wang's identity within the Bureau of Strange Events, he was still a partner who had gone through life and death together.
How could Jinxin accept this?
A hint of shock flashed in Ruoshui's eyes.
An order? The widow's identity is indeed not simple!
Before they could respond, Wu Wang and the crying-faced weirdo had already clashed.
The several slashes in mid-air caused the crying-faced monster to spin his scythe, the sharp blade energy forming an impenetrable barrier above his head.
Unexpectedly, just as Wu Wang's weapon was about to touch the barrier, he vanished into thin air.
He suddenly appeared behind the crying-faced monster, and stabbed the toothed blade in his hand fiercely towards the back of the monster's head.
This guy has no idea that the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique of the Seven Stars Step has been mutated into instant teleportation!
Wu Wang exploited the information gap!
"Hmph! Just like a mudfish!"
The crying-faced monster snorted coldly and turned around with incredible speed to block Wu Wang's fanged blade with his bare hands, raising his leg to kick him hard in the abdomen.
The knife was about to stab him, yet he managed to strike first despite being the last to react!?
Just how high is this bastard's score?!
Wu Wang cursed inwardly.
He never considered the other party to be a mere numbers monster, someone capable of altering the instance and traversing between the real and instance worlds. He absolutely did not believe there was no mechanism involved.
Moreover, that giant scythe was under the gaze of the [Sight of Truth].
What's emerging is the level of a [Special] weapon!
This is a weapon level that no player has ever obtained according to the current known information about the game!
Who knows how many skills this scythe has!
This guy, who seems to be a weirdo, has such terrifying suppressive power in terms of numbers. Even Wu Wang's fun-loving nature makes him want to curse.
Who the hell designed this shit monster?!
Fortunately, the crying-faced weirdo blocked the knife with one hand and kicked him in the stomach at the same moment.
A golden light, carrying the destructive power of the [Old Days], also shone behind him. The six sharp wings, which could also be used as blades, crossed and stabbed towards his back, giving Wu Wang a chance to react and block.
Wu Xiaoyou wasn't going to just sit idly by and watch her younger brother get beaten up!
"Are you in such a hurry to come up and die?"
The crying-faced weirdo said calmly without turning his head.
Then the giant scythe, which had been raised above his head, fell to the ground in an instant, and an eerie black color spread from the base of the scythe, instantly dyeing everything around it with this color.
This also includes Wu Xiaoyou's six wings, as well as the surface of Wu Wang's body.
"【Necromancer - Resentment】"
This was the second time Wu Wang had seen the opponent use a skill.
The last time I saw that was that extremely perverted, legendary mental shackle skill in my memories of Yinyuan Village.
The moment the words left her lips, Wu Xiaoyou saw her six wings crawling with resentful spirits, as if the souls that had perished under that giant scythe were emerging one after another.
The six wings that were originally shining brightly with gold instantly dimmed, and the power of the [Ancient] surging within his body became increasingly difficult to circulate.
The crown on Wu Xiaoyou's head and the golden patterns on her body began to appear faintly, as if they might disappear at any moment.
She couldn't muster any strength!
The effects of this skill are robbing her physical strength and even mental strength at an incomprehensible rate!
The once sharp wing blades now resembled weak, feeble slaps, and before they could even touch the crying monster's body, she crashed heavily to the ground.
boom--
Wu Wang, who was trying to block the kick, was also kicked away by the force of the kick, crashing into the side hall behind him, whose roof had been cut off earlier.
He was buried in the ruins of the side hall.
"Let's go!" With tears in his eyes, Fortress rushed over and grabbed Emberheart, making her leave the dungeon with him.
He knew that even if they all rushed at him now, it would probably only result in the monster swinging its blade one more time.
The most urgent task is to follow the order just given by the widow and quickly return to the real world so that our comrades outside can seal off this place and make preparations.
What if this guy can go back?
That would be a heavy blow to the real world!
He was equally unwilling to give up the fight, and he wanted to help even in the smallest way.
But the reality is cruel—this is a battle that people at their level can't get involved in.
The crying-faced monster, carrying a giant scythe, walked step by step toward Wu Xiaoyou on the ground.
The grasslands along his path began to wither, the earth cracked little by little, and all he brought was deathly silence.
Both their appearance and abilities seem to represent two words—
