Perhaps it was because the gold-plated silver-inlaid skull and the wet corpse with the golden skull had been obtained from the belly of the fish and were not considered relics, so unfortunately, Wei Xun was unable to find out the information for these two items.

But look at what had been in the belly of the fish?

It was the gusin’s thangka which had suppressed and sealed the demon skin.

It was this black stone jade skull that had caused IV-1 to cut a sorry figure before IV-1 came into contact with it!

Without the need to think, one could guess that both the gold-plated silver-inlaid skull and the wet corpse with a golden skull were definitely of great use. And after the difficulty level was uncapped, the power they held might be even greater.

Like the gusin’s human skin thangka. On a Difficult-level tour, Wei Xun could only cut off a small section of human skin and smoke it to utilize the secret medicine used to soak the human skin.

But if the difficulty level was uncapped, the gusin’s human skin thangka could suppress the seal of the demon’s human skin. It was estimated that the pile of demonic insects would have to flee as soon as Wei Xun took it out.

The wet corpse was too large and it was also a little dirty, making it inconvenient to use. Using this opportunity, Wei Xun tested the prowess of the gold-plated silver-inlaid skull and the black stone jade skull fragments.

Wei Xun put away the gusin’s human skin thangka and the golden box so that the crevice on the ground was completely exposed, and he repeated the trick to attract more Insects of Evil. When dozens, or even hundreds of devil insects madly rushed out, he took out the gold-plated silver-inlaid skull, and sure enough, these demonic insects crowded the cracks like a crowd of people during the Spring Festival—Instead of rushing towards Wei Xun, they were turning around and crawling back.

Some of the Insects of Evil managed to escape. The remaining black bugs became gray and stiff, curled up and completely dead, like broken pieces of incense ash.

Wei Xun was quite satisfied. Although the fragments of the black stone jade skull could kill the black worms directly, they were harmful to humans after all. And they were sealed by the golden box, making it troublesome to use.

If he merely had to expel the swarm, the gold-plated silver-inlaid skull would work wonders. If he really fell into a critical situation, he would throw the black stone jade skull fragments out to kill the insects.

Tonight, Wei Xun was going to explore the ruins. He chose the ruins that had been discovered by the snow leopard and contained a strange golden Buddha statue. There was a huge underground cave behind them, and even Xu Yang could not detect the end of the cave. It was also the place where the swarm of insects had besieged Dog IV-1.

The second phase of the branch scenic spot task Wei Xun had activated was to explore the Dragon God Waterway under the Ruins of Xiangxiong Kingdom. The legends said that this was a very complicated waterway, connecting the Xikang Temple, the Xiangxiong Palace, and even the waterway leading to a branch river of Tangra Yumco. Hence, the Dragon God Waterway should definitely be deep underground.

Wei Xun decided to go down to see it first. It was better to do it tonight.

[Wei Xun is going down to explore the ruins? And he’s doing it late at night. This, is he not afraid of danger?]

[Hey, are you a new audience member? Judging from how Brother Wei has behaved during the whole livestream, I can tell that he is not afraid of danger. Instead, danger is afraid of him!]

[But, but that Insect of Evil is too scary, will there be more of them underground?]

[Can’t anyone else go down and help him??]

[Would others going help or cause trouble? I think Xu Yang’s title is useful for exploring the ruins, but unfortunately, he is blind. In the end, it is not as convenient as Wei Xun acting by himself]

[I’m worried about where IV-1 is hiding]

[Is IV-1 really not dead? He had his throat cut by Wei Xun, isn’t he long dead]

[Wei Xun personally admitted that IV-1 was seriously injured and missing, but tour guides have lots of cards under their sleeves, and it is not so easy for them to be killed]

[Say, do you guys think that IV-1 will ambush him in the underground ruins, so as soon as Leader Wei goes down, he will sneak attack him]

[That’s very probable! Fuck, I think there’s something wrong with this bug! Say, Ji Hongcai saw the same Insect of Evil, and he could kill it with a shovel before, but Wei Xun just took out all the skulls, and they didn’t die quickly and could still move!]

[It must be something IV-1 did in the ruins, this old lad always harbors no good intentions and wants to harm us tourists!]

[Do you think Wei Xun found a trace of IV-1 and is taking the initiative to attack?]

[Hey, there is such a possibility!]

[Sigh, Wei Xun should really join a big tour party. To be honest, no one in this tour group can help him. I even think that even the snow leopard is more useful than the tourists here]

[Look, there are tens of thousands of viewers in this IV-1 livestream, and all of them are present here because of Wei Xun. I can guarantee that as long as he survives this tour, he will definitely receive a stack of invitations from the big tour parties]

[But he has to survive this tour first. Damn, I’ve been praying for IV-1 would suffer from a sudden death since the livestream started. Damn it, hurry up and die, don’t think about harming Leader Wei]

[IV-1 is so disgusting!]

“The underground ruins may be affected by IV-1, and the difficulty seal has been unlocked.”

In the theater room of the Homeward Tour Party, after Wang Pengpai had left to monitor the movements of the Slaughterer Alliance, Mao Xiaole had originally been left alone. But now, there was another person on the sofa.

He was squatting on the sofa. Obviously, they were indoors, but he was still wearing sunglasses, pretending to look cool. And he was wearing a suit and beach shorts with a large flower pattern. His style would drive someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.

“Is this our new teammate?”

Besides that, he was playing with a ball of white slime, which was rubbed and stretched by his nimble fingers, and turned into a round little snow leopard in the blink of an eye. He smiled and blew at the snow leopard. One would wonder if it was an illusion, because the little snow leopard seemed to move.

“I would call this ‘Xiaoxue’!”

The man was elated and placed the little snow leopard in his hand on the table, carefully moving it so that it was facing the livestream screen.

“Tell me, would Ah Xun like this gift from me?”

“Replicator!”

Mao Xiaole unhappily pulled a long face. “You can’t call him Ah Xun, he is my Teacher Wei!”

“He’s your Teacher Wei, he’s my Ah Xun. And the captain is even his Xiaoxue.”

The man didn’t care. When he saw the figure of the snow leopard appearing on the screen of the livestream room, he immediately took pictures with high spirits and smiled maliciously while taking pictures.

“I really want the captain to see what he looked like when he turned into a snow leopard. Oh, Mao Xiaole, help me think of how I can let the captain see these photos and not get beaten to death by him?”

“If you passed away, the captain wouldn’t beat you to death a second time,” Mao Xiaole said blankly, “Furthermore, Teacher Wei may not necessarily come to our tour party, so don’t talk too much.”

“What, what did you say?” The man pretended to be shocked and pointed at the screen like a monkey. “Do you dare to say it again in front of Xiaoxue? Look at Xiaoxue, if Wei Xun goes to another tour party, he’ll cry.”

“I don’t know if he’s crying, but you will cry in any case,” Mao Xiaole said gloomily and slapped a talisman onto the man’s forehead.

Without any tell-tale sign, the man started to cry, and he couldn’t stop it, as if he had suffered some great grievance. His eyes were red, and he curled up into a ball while holding his knees, crying loudly as if someone at home had died.

Amid the howling, Mao Xiaole put on his earphones and immersed himself in watching Teacher Wei’s livestream. He saw that once Wei Xun informed Jiang Hongguang and the others and arranged various matters, he came back to appease the snow leopard. After half an hour passed, a finger stretched out from the side and poked Mao Xiaole.

Mao Xiaole looked back and saw that the man had taken off his sunglasses. His face was as white as if he had been soaked in the water, and the areas around his eyes were completely swollen. He was still crying silently, sniffling from time to time.

“Cried enough?”

Mao Xiaole disliked the talisman on his forehead that was soaked in tears and sweat, so he didn’t peel it off himself. So, he summoned a little paper man to peel the talisman off.

“Huh, it seemed that I had a great cry.”

After the talisman was removed, the man finally stopped crying. He took a towel and wiped his face vigorously. His voice was still a little choked up, but it sounded more joyous. The unstable and dangerous atmosphere that he had been trapped in faded a little.

“To be honest, I really envy those people with [A Wild Beast’s Psyche]. Turning into a beast like taking a nap, as if nothing had occurred.”

“You came back from Shennongjia?” Mao Xiaole pinched his fingers and frowned. “No, your tour should end in three days, right?”

“Heh, isn’t it because we heard that a new brother is going to join our tour party, and it’s also the Teacher Three Waters you’ve been talking about for five years. Of course I had to end the tour early and come back,” the man said with a cheeky grin.

The man took a bag of potato chips, tore it open, and poured the chips into his mouth, but not a single fragment of the chips fell outside.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Mao Xiaole was too lazy to pay attention to him. In a professional manner, he reminded, “If your emotions are not right and you haven’t released them thoroughly, just go on vacation for a few days. You have so much money, don’t act like a miser.”

“You can never have too much money. I don’t think I have much money.”

The man shrugged indifferently and stretched out his hand to Mao Xiaole. “Do you still have more crying talismans, give me a few more. If I happen to be crying while watching, when the captain comes back, he won’t discover that I was laughing at him being a snow leopard. Heh, I’m really a genius!”

“One ten thousand yuan note. You’re not allowed to buy this on credit,” Mao Xiaole said.

But to his surprise, the man didn’t haggle over the price. It was rare that this occurred. He did not cry, or act shamelessly, but directly bought the large stack of talismans. Mao Xiale said suspiciously, “Wang Yushu, something is wrong with you.”

“Hey, Sister Cheng asked me for five individual rocket launchers on credit before she went to the Caribbean, and owes me tens of thousands of points. You know what I mean.” Wang Yushu shook his head and continued, “You ask her for the points.”

Who would have thought that Mao Xiaole’s expression would grow strange, and he asked incredulously, “How dare you sell this junk to the tour party? You even sold it to Sister Cheng? Wang Yushu, you are really not afraid of being beaten to death by her, hurry up and run!”

“What trash, how can you say that about my money-making baby! Sister Cheng bought five, so it’s almost impossible for not even one of them to be able to exert their fullest potential. Even if this is the case, she has bad luck. Can you blame me?”

Wang Yushu was not happy and he emphasized, “Didn’t you see that III-9 loved to use my rocket launcher!

“I can dare to say that III-9 used my rocket artillery to blast out a 30th parallel north tour!

“Hehe.”

Mao Xiaole laughed, too lazy to talk to him. “What the hell is going on, why did the tour over at Shennongjia end early?”

“I accidentally killed the tour guide,” Wang Yushu said as if it was nothing, “That bastard wanted to harm me. That definitely isn’t alright, right? Of course, I’ll act against him first. I dug out his heart.”

He was a little emotionally unstable as he spoke, and his eyes were red. Without Mao Xiaole reminding him, he slapped himself with a talisman, and tears flowed out again. This scene was extraordinarily strange. He, a man of strong stature, was sobbing so miserably. He cried while wiping his tears, “I’m too miserable. That tour guide died so miserably, sob, sob, sob. But anyway, he killed many more people than I did.”

Every time they returned from a tour of this level, they were slightly mentally polluted, similar to a tour guide dropping SAN value. In particular, the situation of the members of the Homeward Tour Party was more serious. At this time, they had to thoroughly and straightforwardly vent their emotions. In fact, there were various ways of venting.

Some people liked to cry happily, such as Wang Yushu. Some people liked to kill Slaughterer tour guides, such as Mao Xiaole. There was also someone else who liked to rob money. The middle and low-ranking tourists adored them and called them big bosses, but the tour parties who were similarly at the top-level called them a tour party of madmen.

“Enough. I think your mental instability may be discovered by tour guide alliances. Don’t go out until you recover and watch Teacher Wei’s livestream with me.”

Mao Xiaole persuaded sincerely, as if to “Amway” his friend using the idol he adored. “Look, since I watched Teacher Wei’s livestream, I don’t even want to kill Slaughterer tour guides.”

“Yeah, Xun’er is really good-looking. When will he turn into a leopard?”
