Line after line of icy crystal small characters appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"Hint:"

"You have earned the recognition and appreciation of the spirits."

"Current recognition level: Four stars (extreme for multiple people)."

"This book has resonated with the spirits, and they unanimously agree to pass on their most precious thing to you."

"You have gained 1 point of virtue."

"Furthermore, their leader will soon communicate with you personally."

The next second, a soft female voice whispered in Wu Xiaode's ear:

"The red-brick house in the village, there is a small box hidden behind the painting in the living room. Do not tell anyone, and only open it when you are in dire straits."

"This is our gift to you."

"Remember: If you open it prematurely, it will lose its power and may even be dangerous."

"Lastly, I want to say—"

"Thank you very much for helping us take revenge."

"We have no regrets."

Wu Xiaode nodded, then shook his head.

A mountain breeze blew by.

The leaves rustled.

The spirits' figures gradually faded and disappeared from all around.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment and said, "Shall we go to the village?"

"You go ahead. The village is to the southwest. I'll stay here to deal with the gauntlet and meet you in the village later," the girl said.

"Alright."

Wu Xiaode turned and walked for a while in the southwest direction, returning to the village.

There were fields being cultivated here.

Chickens and ducks roamed in flocks, and pigs were kept in pigpens, with a cowshed nearby.

The red-brick house was in the center of the village, very conspicuous.

Wu Xiaode walked over, pushed open the door, and saw a few dishes and several bottles of wine on the table inside.

Clearly,

When the monsters appeared, people were having dinner, completely unprepared.

If it weren't for the traitor...

At least some of them could have escaped.

Wu Xiaode shook his head, not wanting to think about it further, and walked straight to the painting hanging on the wall, taking it down.

Sure enough, there was a small compartment behind the painting, containing a palm-sized wooden box.

Wu Xiaode took the box and was about to open it to see what was inside when he suddenly remembered the woman's words—

"If you open it prematurely, it won't work."

He thought for a moment and decided not to open the box.

No matter what was inside.

No matter what the woman meant by "it won't work."

Wu Xiaode decided to be cautious.

He put the box away, turned, and walked out of the room, preparing to return to the captain.

However, just as he stepped out of the room, he saw four strangers.

They were wearing combat suits and almost simultaneously noticed Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took a step back, on guard, and asked,

"Who are you?"

Before he could finish speaking, the leader of the group suddenly said, "Flame Kill!"

Flames ignited in his hand.

Almost simultaneously, Wu Xiaode hid in the mist—

But it was no use!

A level 0 Silent Mist can create an "illusion," but the other party's spell had already been released, targeting the entire building.

—A large-scale attack spell!

This was a seasoned professional who, upon suddenly encountering an enemy, instinctively used his most powerful move!

Intense light radiated from his hand, expanding into a wall of flames several meters wide, sweeping toward Wu Xiaode!

Wu Xiaode had no chance to dodge.

—All of this happened in an instant.

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and prepared to block the wave of flames.

At that moment,

A voice came from a distance,

"Blade of Breath."

A sudden change occurred—

The air around Wu Xiaode began to flow rapidly, creating sharp and powerful whistles.

Whoosh!

The wall of flames collided with Wu Xiaode, producing a muffled sound.

—It was blocked by an invisible wind!

A fierce hurricane suddenly appeared, swirling around Wu Xiaode at an unimaginable speed, sweeping away the wall of flames.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

That was Xiao Baihong's voice.

He didn't expect that from such a distance, Xiao Baihong could still help him.

"The spellcaster—let's kill the spellcaster first, and have someone hold off Wu Xiaode!" the leader shouted.

A man in camouflage raised a machine gun and fired at the door.

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

The machine gun spewed fire, blocking the door.

The leader turned and led the other two toward Xiao Baihong on the opposite rooftop.

Xiao Baihong hesitated for a moment.

These three clearly had extensive combat experience. If they got close, he would be at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, he saw a small patch of mist form an arrow pointing to his right, then disappear.

Right?

Xiao Baihong looked to the right.

The man with the machine gun was still firing wildly at the red-brick house, but in his blind spot, the windows on the right side of the house opened silently.

A mist drifted out and quickly dissipated.

Interesting.

Since you want me to go right, I'll go right.

Xiao Baihong opened his black umbrella and smiled at the approaching enemies,

"Three against one? I won't play along."

A strong wind blew his umbrella, lifting him and carrying him toward the right side of the red-brick house.

The leader shouted, "Don't let him get away, close in quickly!"

The three ran on the ground, tightly following Xiao Baihong's flight path, chasing after him.

The leader, while running, hid his hand behind his back, accumulating a flame.

This was his other powerful move, which required some time to prepare.

"Just wait, in three seconds, I'll bring you down."

The man thought to himself.

This was his last thought.

In the next instant,

He was still running forward, and the flame in his hand was still accumulating power, but a faint golden line sliced across his neck.

"Enemy!"

The other two exclaimed.

The golden line flashed again, slicing the second person from head to toe, splitting him in half.

The third person shouted and leaped up.

He was determined to kill Xiao Baihong, who was floating in the air, regardless of what was on the ground.

Xiao Baihong laughed and said,

"From such a distance, you want to bully a ranged professional like me?"

As he spoke, he gently turned his black umbrella.

The man, flying in mid-air, let out several sharp whistles.

He screamed and fell to the ground, lying still.

The machine gunner, seeing the situation, moved the machine gun and fired at Xiao Baihong.

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

Flames spewed.

Xiao Baihong had already saved Wu Xiaode once, used a move to fly in mid-air, and then used a wind spell to kill one person. Now, he could only勉强地在面前放出一道风盾。

但他已经没有余力做其他事了。

密集的子弹如雨点般倾泻在风盾上，虽然无法穿透，但巨大的冲击力让萧白红身形一歪，朝地面坠去。

电光火石之间。

一道金线从虚空中迸射而出，瞬间掠过数十米的距离，直接穿透了那名机枪手的身体。

战斗结束。

萧白红见状松了一口气，忽然脸色一变，大喊道：“我的术法失控了，接住我——”

武小德刚出一刀，一听这话连忙朝他的落点飞奔过去。

但萧白红歪歪斜斜地飞来绕去，落地时速度进一步加快，真的不好接啊！

武小德连忙把魔雾散了，一边挥手一边高声喊道：“这边！朝我这边来！”

“不行！控制不了方向了！”

萧白红大喊着，一头栽了下来。

眼看就要撞在地上，最后时刻武小德拼命冲上前，甚至来了个飞铲滑行，这才及时赶到——

啪！

在离地二十厘米的地方，萧白红被武小德稳稳地接住，抱在怀里。

两人保持不动。

紧接着，他们同时松了口气。

“你刚才那些招式不是挺帅的吗？为什么最后一头掉下来了？”武小德质问。

“魂力不够啊，昨晚杀人用多了，没休息够，只剩5点魂力。”萧白红解释道。

“你这也敢冒头出来战斗？你这是找死啊！”武小德骂道。

“喂，搞清楚，刚才我不出手，你就死翘翘了，小兄弟。”萧白红不爽道。

“不要让我最后救你啊，你知不知道我刚才接你的时候吓的出了一身冷汗，要短命好几年！”武小德抗议道。

其他屋顶上陆续出现了几个人。

鹰，隼，枪手，以及——

团长。

众人静静地看着武小德以公主抱的姿势抱着萧白红，看着他们两个斗嘴。

“这是什么情况？”隼来得最晚，有些摸不着头脑地问道。

“不要问，问就是相爱相杀。”枪手扶着墨镜道。

“这就是爱情中的双向奔赴啊，想不到我亲眼看到了这一幕。”鹰欣然道。

隼还是不明白，转头望向团长。

“两个蠢货。”团长小声说道。
