Chapter 110: Let Go (5 more - s)

Fuck!!Ye Shangming’s face turned white with fright.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh ——

The people around him decisively bypassed and jumped down like dumplings.

"The surface of the lake is frozen! The Giant Demon Crocodile below can no longer control this waterway!"

"Jump down! This is our only way out!"

"Run, run, run!!"

Ye Shangming’s heart sank.

As the Wolf Demon rushed forward.

Amidst the maid’s screams.

He grabbed the rope next to him and leaped off the deck!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

The sound of wind howled in his ears, causing Ye Shangming to squint, unable to see the surroundings clearly.

He gripped the rope tightly, slowing down his descent.

Bump!

Suddenly, he landed firmly on his feet.

"I survived!"

A thrill of ecstasy flashed through Ye Shangming’s mind.

Bang!!

The next instant, something suddenly chased down beside him, crashing onto the ice!

The frozen river surface instantly shattered, blasting a huge crater.

As the ground beneath him gave way, Ye Shangming heavily fell into the icy river.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle——

Ye Shangming struggled desperately but couldn’t swim up.

He randomly grabbed at something, suddenly holding onto someone’s arm.

Upon closer inspection.

It shockingly turned out to be half of his maid’s body.

Dead, dead?

Ye Shangming’s consciousness gradually blurred, the sun above getting farther and farther.

The screen went black.

He, died.

"Shit!!!"

Back in reality, Ye Shangming took off his gaming helmet and held it high above his head.

But his hands were shaking, yet he didn’t dare to smash it.

It’s a borrowed gaming helmet! Expensive indeed!

If he smashed it, he truly couldn’t afford a second one!

"Parchment!"

"Parchment!!"

He roared as he took out the locked parchment from the drawer, spread it open, and laid it on the desk.

"Show me the text! What the hell is going on here?"

"Why did I die in the game? My newly acquired character!"

Ye Shangming was truly unwilling to accept this.

His start was too perfect.

Decent aptitude, identity of a son from a major family, resources maxed out, full protection all the way.

What was he lacking? He just needed some time to grow!

Given that time, he was confident he could trample all other players in the server under his feet!

This perfect start was even more empowering than any Lucky Gift Package mentioned in the forums!

But... faced with a demon attack right at the start, directly giving it all away for nothing!

Was that a dungeon a human could clear?

Was that something a newbie should face?

Ridiculous!

As if sensing Ye Shangming’s anger, the parchment slowly revealed text.

You fucking kidding me?!

Are you scolding me, right? Definitely scolding me, right??

"Don’t think I have no way to deal with you, I’ll piss on you!"

"If I don’t ruin you, there are plenty of ways to disgust you!"

As he spoke, Ye Shangming began to undo his pants.

It seemed the threat had some effect, as the parchment continued to reveal text.

Is it just a great chance...

The first time, the prophecy on the Parchment was certain to grant me an excellent role identity.

Just because I died once? Just because I failed once?

Is it the game mechanics? The more you die, the worse your identity, or is the Parchment messing with me?

Ye Shangming’s face was clouded with uncertainty.

However, he was helpless and could only browse the game forums for strategies while suppressing his frustration.

Dong dong dong!

Soon, a knocking sound was heard from outside.

Ye Shangming opened the door in curiosity, only to see five or six bare-chested burly men standing at the doorway, looking at him askance.

"Ye Shangming?"

Before Ye Shangming could react, they had already entered.

"Who are you guys! Get out!"

"Get out?" The leader of the burly men chuckled, took out a crumpled paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and it appeared to be a contract.

"Pay us first! Once you’ve paid, we’ll naturally leave."

Ye Shangming was stunned.

"What payment? How did this loan contract end up in your hands? Besides, I only borrowed thirteen thousand, and I’m not due to start repaying until next month!"

"Yes, you did indeed borrow only thirteen thousand, but who told you that you would actually receive thirteen thousand?"

"What do you mean?"

The burly man chuckled again.

"It’s simple, either pay us ten thousand now, you keep three thousand, and the rest goes according to the contract."

"Or, look, I have another contract here, sign this, and you will truly receive ten thousand."

Ye Shangming glanced at the new contract and felt a sudden sinking feeling.

He had a vague feeling that he had touched something he should not have.

He must... earn money quickly!

In the game.

A port troubled by demons.

After throwing out the Ice Sculpture Demon’s ice crystal, Fang Yu immediately retreated and disappeared into the crowd.

Snap.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm and dragged him out of Exit 3, back to the port walkway.

The crowded crowd was gone.

Only scattered individuals fleeing and guards continuously heading this way were left.

Looking at the person who led him out, it was Lin Xiaosheng.

He asked in a low voice.

"What was the technique just now..."

Fang Yu frowned, slightly shaking his head.

Not telling?

No matter.

Everyone has their secrets.

Lin Xiaosheng didn’t press further but instead asked, "Why didn’t you continue to use your techniques? Even..."

He was referring to the demon’s true form.

Fang Yu immediately understood.

But he had already prepared his excuse.

"That move, after I use it, I temporarily lose my combat ability and need time to recover."

Fang Yu didn’t elaborate, but Lin Xiaosheng understood.

Their demons, each has different innate abilities.

Some can curse people to death, others store power routinely, unleashing incredible strength at critical moments.

Clearly, Fang Yu was the latter.

Such techniques, usable only once in a certain period and following that, resulting in weakness.

In that case, indeed there was no need to expose his true self; a weakened demon revealing his true form is still weak, and it would simply be a waste of life.

Lin Xiaosheng was not very supportive of Yue Guang using Shuang Xuyao as a Vanguard.

Now after witnessing Fang Yu’s outburst of Ice Element power similar to Shuang Xuyao’s Ice Frost power, he pretty much trusted Fang Yu fully.

Ice Element power, it’s a lineage.

Ice demons employing Ice Demons as subordinates, quite reasonable.

"So, you come with me to meet Yue Guang. Leave this place to them."

Fang Yu hesitated slightly; these Thousand Blood Demons, they were all Experience Points.

So arrogant now, wait until Foolish Underworld’s guard strength reacts, they won’t be able to escape.

Later, Fang Yu was thinking of sneakily finishing them off.

But Lin Xiaosheng kept pulling him along, Fang Yu thought for a moment and then spoke.
