490: Chapter 488 Communication Radar

Blood rain fell, and the wind howled.

Wherever Chu Xuan looked, everything in the world was undergoing eerie changes.

Almost all the buildings were twisting and shaking, growing limbs and sprouting claws and fangs.

Streetlights and greenery along the street sprouted ghastly green eyes, emitting cackling laughter.

The earth writhed and rolled, splitting open one gaping maw after another, filled with sharp teeth and fangs, as scarlet tongues emerged, spraying pus.

This modern forest of steel was like a living Hell.

The vast majority of people had been corrupted into monsters, essentially losing their human appearance.

Unlike most Specters, these monsters had completely lost their sanity; they hissed and wailed, either slaughtering and devouring each other or running about chaotically.

When a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, all these monsters looked up and lunged toward it like madmen.

Chu Xuan's gaze shifted.

This blood rain covered an unknown number of kilometers, which meant an unknown number of people had turned into monsters.

Without special protection and a place to hide, it would be difficult for any Transcendent below Rank 8 to survive.

The blood rain fell onto the Fire of Nirvana, causing wisps of green smoke to rise.

The strong wind tousled Chu Xuan's hair and clothes, but his gaze gradually calmed as he held the overlord bow, continuously drawing the string and firing arrows.

【Your spirituality value + 15】

【Your spirituality value + 30】

【...】

While harvesting spirituality value, Chu Xuan observed the towering black mist drawing closer ahead.

That was St. Lianna Hospital.

It was also the place where Chu Xuan had first returned from War Dragon World and met Lin Jie.

Back then, in the Inpatient Building, almost every Specter Chu Xuan encountered possessed death rules.

Even if one's Rank was higher than the Specter, triggering a death rule would still result in the loss of corresponding health points.

This had taught the confident, newly returned Chu Xuan a harsh lesson.

Through subsequent encounters and understanding, Chu Xuan had long known that while Specters with death rules below S-Rank existed elsewhere, they were extremely rare.

This was clearly a very special Dark Place.

Previously, 【Future Tang Zheng】 had warned him that this hospital was extremely special and contained multiple S-rank Specters, advising him not to break in before ranking up.

"Boss Chu, you don't mean to make me go to that place ahead, do you?"

Gaga Chicken turned its head to look at Chu Xuan on its back, saying with uncertainty: "My intuition tells me that place is extremely dangerous. Why don't we go back to find your good brother and return to War Dragon World instead?"

"Go straight in."

Chu Xuan's gaze was deep as he stared intently at the pitch-black, thick mist continuously expanding outward ahead.

Originally, the range of the Dark Place here wasn't large; it only covered one Inpatient Building, which had been cordoned off with warning tape, preventing unauthorized personnel from entering.

After some time, the darkness had spread, enveloping the entire hospital.

And now, with the blood rain falling, the pitch-black, thick mist was spreading outward at an extremely fast speed, engulfing some of the surrounding streets.

It was unknown if the S-rank Specters within would undergo mutations.

But Chu Xuan had to go in.

Going to another world to trigger missions and thereby embark on the Path of Salvation was certainly an option, but Chu Xuan was unwilling to do so.

This was a last resort!

Based on the continuous changes in the rules over these days, Chu Xuan had discovered that the more Specters humans hunted and the more missions they completed, the stronger the world became, the more favorable rules it gained in the gamble, and consequently, the stronger they, the Transcendents, would become.

The reverse was also true.

Although the projection of the Evil God summoned by Revelation had been slain with a single sword, and the benefits had yet to be seen, this blood rain had clearly brought about a great disaster.

Even if he didn't save the people dying in this disaster, for the sake of his own interests alone, Chu Xuan had to complete Dream Return as soon as possible.

Save Lin Jie, summon the real Yang Yu, and use this to slay the Evil God's projection, helping the world obtain the authority of the chaotic rules.

This was the best strategy!

"Chu Xuan, where are you going?"

Tang Zheng's body glowed as he suddenly leaped up, grabbing hold of Gaga Chicken's claw tightly, dragging its entire body down a bit, which caused Gaga Chicken to curse incessantly.

"I am going to hunt S-rank Specters to obtain rule fragments."

Chu Xuan's heart suddenly stirred, and he asked: "You just killed Xuanwu; you should have obtained rule fragments, right? Try to see if you can share them with me?"

Immediately after, Chu Xuan asked again: "And Gaga Chicken, you also killed Huo Gui; you should have gained something too, right?"

"No! I can't share them."

Tang Zheng flipped onto the chicken's back, his expression changing rapidly, and he grabbed Chu Xuan's arm, shouting: "I can't hold on much longer; I'm sending you to War Dragon World now."

"I can't give them either. Also, don't call me Gaga Chicken; you should call me the Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc. If you like, you can call me Lord Peng."

Although he had anticipated this, Chu Xuan was still slightly disappointed. In that case, he didn't know how that White-haired Elder had managed to do it.

Ignoring Gaga Chicken's complaints, Chu Xuan looked at Tang Zheng, who was becoming increasingly strange and looked like he couldn't hold on much longer, and said calmly: "There is no need to go to War Dragon World. Next, I will reverse the ending of all this."

Tang Zheng was stunned: "I don't know what you are planning to do, but since you have decided, I will respect your choice."

He took out a palm-sized, circular device and handed it over: "This is a communication tool I obtained in War Dragon World. It can be verified by the System; as long as one of us is still alive, we can receive each other's messages. And within a certain range, we can also check each other's location."

【Communication Radar: You can use this item to send messages and track locations.】

Chu Xuan took it and looked; the circular object had a metallic outline.

Besides a button on the side, the screen on the surface was interwoven with countless green squares, with two red dots stuck together on it.

"These two red dots represent our locations relative to each other. Long-press the side button to speak and send text messages; press continuously to refresh information. It is extremely convenient to use, requiring only a small amount of spirituality value to remain on standby for many days."

As Tang Zheng finished speaking, Chu Xuan suddenly noticed the same words flashing on the screen. Looking up, he saw Tang Zheng holding an identical device in his hand, pressing the side button to speak.

"Chu Xuan, if you are unwilling to go to War Dragon World, then I will have to go back alone. I cannot stay with you for a long time, because..." Tang Zheng hesitated, stopping mid-sentence.

Chu Xuan frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong with Tang Zheng. Seeing the other's glowing face twisting from time to time, he immediately focused his mind.

Eye of Insight activated.

【Name: Tang Zheng Species: Human (Abnormal) ...】

Abnormal?

Chu Xuan's body trembled violently.

"Chu Xuan, take care of yourself; I have to go..." Tang Zheng sighed softly, his figure gradually becoming ethereal, and he vanished from the spot, carrying his speaker.
