100: Chapter 100 Ren Xiaoxiao

Although she knew the uses of the berserk aura, its... origin was unclear, and for it to appear in the Trader Space...

This point alone was enough to prove that the person behind this was certainly not simple.

"berserk aura? Are you sure you're not joking? How could something like that appear in the Trader Space?" Mu Cheng asked again, feeling a bit excited.

berserk aura, just as its name suggested, would cause monsters to enter a berserk state from time to time, allowing them to rapidly increase their strength in a short period.

Peppa: "It is berserk aura, so you all should leave this place as soon as possible. However... kid, there's an opportunity right in front of you. If you can devour and refine this source of frenzy, you'll definitely be able to break through to the seventh rank."

Breaking through to the seventh rank was extremely important to Mu Cheng; after all, without strength, he would have no foothold in this big city.

"Do you know where the source of frenzy is?" Mu Cheng hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind.

"You guys... head towards the Central Area! I'll go by myself."

"We..."

Before Gu Na could finish, Peppa spoke up. "Going there is just seeking death for you. Why don't you head to the Central Area first? Besides, isn't Grandpa Peppa here too? So there's no need to worry."

"Alright then! We'll split up." Tao Mumu agreed without a second thought.

"Be careful, and remember, if you encounter any danger, log out immediately!"

After Mu Cheng emphasized this, he quickly disappeared into the City Ruins...

"Let's set off too!" Gu Na didn't think too much and followed closely behind the Husky.

Not far away.

"Speaking of which... how should I look for this source of frenzy?" Mu Cheng suddenly stopped and asked.

To forget such an important matter... Peppa almost couldn't resist the urge to hit someone.

"Just sense it yourself and you'll know."

"Let's go, to the right." Mu Cheng actually did sense the scent of the berserk aura. After confirming the direction, he sprinted all the way.

About ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the origin of the berserk aura—a massive crack.

A crack right in the middle of the City Ruins...

"Good grief, there won't be danger down there, will there?" Mu Cheng hesitated as he looked at it.

This crack was very eerie and emitted a terrifying aura; naturally, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Peppa: "There's definitely danger. Otherwise, did you think the seventh rank was that easy to break through? There's bound to be a price to pay."

"But rest assured, there are no ninth-rank powerhouses here, though there should be eighth-rank powerhouses comparable to ninth-rank strength."

It couldn't be certain exactly how strong they were, but it was very obvious that this place was definitely dangerous.

"I'm guessing that with something as big as the berserk aura, the higher-ups should have sent people, right?" Mu Cheng asked cautiously.

Peppa didn't have the patience and simply pushed him down. "Stop dawdling. If you know, then get down there!"

It followed him down. Below the crack, there was actually a whole different world, and the space was very, very large.

It looked like a laboratory, dilapidated and worn... one could tell it had been there for quite a few years.

"This place... feels a bit like a laboratory." Mu Cheng looked at his surroundings.

He always felt something was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Peppa: "Can't you have some confidence? This IS a laboratory. Although it's been abandoned for a long time, it's not much of a problem as a hidden base."

"I'm quite curious, though—was it an internal cause or an accident that caused such a large opening to appear?"

"Regardless, something like the source of frenzy can't be researched in less than several decades, and it's not that easy to take away. So, we still have a chance." Mu Cheng focused his mind and continued deeper with great caution.

Peppa: "Whatever you say. Anyway, you're the boss."

About an hour later.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? What happened to the danger we talked about?" Mu Cheng stared at the scene before him, dumbfounded and incredulous.

The laboratory was empty, with nothing left but a source of frenzy about the size of a basketball.

"Good grief, how decisive... then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and devour it!" Peppa said after some careful thought.

It was obvious that the other party had already abandoned this location, so leaving the source of frenzy behind was reasonable.

If they couldn't take it, they could only leave it... of course, they wouldn't just leave it like that; they would surely send someone back.

There are always brave men for a high reward, so the people sent back would naturally be incredibly strong.

The priority now was for Mu Cheng to strike first.

"Fine! I'll listen to you." Mu Cheng had also guessed the general situation and no longer hesitated, immediately beginning to refine and devour it.

After an unknown amount of time, someone indeed arrived—a Man in Black, flying through the air.

"Dammit, stop right there!"

Without a word, the Man in Black immediately launched a palm strike at Mu Cheng.

This palm strike looked ordinary, but everywhere it passed, it left behind clear traces of shattered void.

"Since you're here, make your move! Your Grandpa Peppa can't hold on!" Peppa shouted urgently upon seeing the bad situation.

Sure enough, a young girl intervened. Her long, beautiful hair was tied up, and wearing a brown windbreaker, she looked heroic and formidable.

With a very simple punch that didn't shatter the void, she was still able to easily block the Man in Black's attack.

"This woman is so strong. She must be one of those so-called 'higher-up' people!" Mu Cheng finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

He put all his effort into devouring and refining the source of frenzy.

"You are one of the Guardians, Ren Xiaoxiao. I really didn't expect that old woman to send you here. Then let's have a good fight today."

The Man in Black recognized her at a glance as Ren Xiaoxiao, one of the nine fierce generals under Lu Yunzi.

"My thoughts exactly. I've been wanting to stretch my limbs for a long time." Ren Xiaoxiao didn't waste words; a black gold blade appeared in her right hand.

In just an instant, the black gold blade slashed towards the Man in Black in mid-air...

The Man in Black didn't dare to be careless. Although he dodged it easily, he still released Blood-colored Battle Qi.

This Blood-colored Battle Qi was none other than the berserk aura... the mere aura on his body was already enough to make one feel terrified.

"berserk aura? Unfortunately, that's all it is." Ren Xiaoxiao slashed at the Man in Black again.

Only this time, she didn't hold back, no matter how the Man in Black tried to dodge or use short-distance teleportation.

The black gold blade in her hand continued to slash at the Man in Black, and her speed became faster and faster.

In less than ten seconds, the Man in Black was completely suppressed, forced to keep dodging without any power to fight back.

"That works too? This move is pretty good; I'll try it out later." Mu Cheng was dumbfounded as he watched.

She clearly hadn't used the eighth-rank's void-shattering ability; with just seventh-rank strength, she had completely suppressed the opponent.

Peppa: "It is indeed good, but it can only gain a small advantage. Defeating an eighth-rank peak is not that simple."

Sure enough, just as it finished speaking, the Man in Black was slashed on his right arm, and dark, murky blood kept flowing.
