Chapter 156 - Leaving Little Spirit Mountain and Going to the Coast
Chapter 156: Leaving Little Spirit Mountain and Going to the Coast
After watching Old Wu leave, Poison Blade closed the door.
Lin Xuan entered his consciousness space and placed the Shadow Ring, Shadow Dragon Scale, and Shadow Pearl into the synthesis table.
Ten minutes later, a new black cloak was produced.
—-
Name: Shadow Cloak
Level: Level Three Seventh Realm
Grade: Legendary Dark Gold
Effect 1: Agility+9%.
Effect 2: Evasion rate+30%, presence -60%.
Effect 3: When traveling inside the shadows, your presence will decrease by 100%, and your critical hit chance will increase by 70%. Your health recovery speed and magic power recovery speed will increase by 60%.

The Shadow Cloak was similar to the Shadow Ring.
However, the effects of all aspects had increased greatly.
Especially for the critical hit chance enhancement.
It was extremely ferocious.
The initial critical chance was based on Agility, and the critical hit chance of Poison Blade was only more than 20%.
However, after adding the effects of the skills, equipment, and rune group, the critical hit chance went up drastically. If Poison Blade was in a suitable situation and attacked a suitable target, he could completely achieve a 100% critical hit chance!
“I’ve also accumulated a lot of essence at the moment. I’ll first increase my cultivation by one level before leveling up the skills commonly used by Poison Blade…”
Lin Xuan invested 3 million essence to increase his level from level three Seventh Realm to level four Seventh Realm.
The nine free attribute points he had obtained after leveling up were all invested into his Constitution, which also increased it to 469 points.
He also advanced Sealing blood, Lightning Wind, and Flash to level three Seventh Realm in one go.
He also increased the grade of his skill to the legendary dark gold level.
The Omnipotent Bone Armor and Demonized Body were also upgraded to level three Seventh Realm.
“That should do it. Now, it’s time for me to continue earning money.”
In the next few days, Lin Xuan continued to set up his stall in the market area to earn money.
As he set up the stall, he also multitasked and worked hard to memorize various information about Mu Qiang.
This included the information of Mu Qiang’s personality and mannerisms to details about Mu Qiang’s family and friends.
The information provided by the Construction Division even recorded that Mu Qiang had dated a few people and was dumped by a few more.
“Damn, is there a need to be so careful?”
Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Soon, a week passed.
Lin Xuan discovered that Black and Lu Luo seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Moreover, they had disappeared even earlier than him.
It was not difficult to guess that it might also be because of this hidden mission.
Soon, Old Wu and Li Weiguo found him again.
This time, they also brought a young man.
Old Wu casually said, “This is the person in charge of the east wall of Colony Three. He’s proficient in Japanese. We specially brought him over to test how much your Japanese has improved recently.”
Li Weiguo also nodded. “Don’t feel burdened. It’s fine even if you stumble. I’ll give you a few more days.”
Poison Blade smiled. “I think it’s not bad.”
The person in charge of the east wall nodded and casually asked a few questions in Japanese.
Poison Blade answered smoothly.
He even learned how to scold people respectfully.
The person in charge of the east wall was stunned.
Old Wu said nervously, “What’s wrong? Is it not good?”
The person in charge of the east wall shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Old Wu, this person’s learning ability is too strong. Did he really only study for a week? Why is he even more fluent than me after studying for two years?”
Li Weiguo was also very shocked.
The two of them stared suspiciously at Poison Blade.
Could this guy be from High Heaven Plains?
However, this thought was immediately dispelled by them.
Impossible. It was absolutely impossible.
It was impossible for High Heaven Plains to send such a powerful martial artist as a spy.
The most important thing for spies was to maintain a low-profile.
Moreover, even if Poison Blade was a spy from the High Heaven Plains, it was impossible for him to have made such a huge contribution in the city defense battle.
A spy could not wait to see Little Spirit Mountain destroyed.
Lin Xuan chuckled in his heart.
He had not even used a week.
In just four days, he had already mastered Japanese. On the fifth day, he could use all kinds of complicated honorifics fluently.
This was reasonable… After all, six people were learning at the same time!
“So, there’s no problem?” The two old men stared at the person in charge of the east wall.
The man nodded. “No problem. He can definitely play his role well.”
Li Weiguo took out the makeup set. “Sit down. I’ll help you put on makeup.”
He picked up the cosmetics with his rough and wide fingers, looking somewhat comical like a cannon hitting a mosquito.
However, Lin Xuan could not tell that he was unfamiliar with this at all. Instead, he was very familiar with it.
Li Weiguo noticed Poison Blade’s expression and the corners of his mouth twitched. “I didn’t want to be so good at this either! Who asked me to inexplicably master this skill?”
Old Wu was secretly happy.
An hour later, Poison Blade’s face completely changed. At first glance, he looked a little handsome, but there was also a hint of greed and evilness.
“It’s done!”
“Your contact, Murata, has already sent a secret letter. They have prepared a ship for you. You need to escape from Little Spirit Mountain overnight and take that ship to High Heaven Plains.”
“After you go to the High Heaven Plains, the other party might not let you directly enter Reed Country to train. Think of a way to get in.”
“After sneaking in, use this method to find Chief Wan’s mechanical puppet. At that time, there will be further instructions.”
Li Weiguo handed him a secret letter.
Poison Blade opened it and saw the time and place written on it.
“Understood.” Poison Blade nodded slightly.
…
Late at night.
The moon was bright and the stars were few.
Most of the martial artists in Colony Three were sleeping soundly, and only a few dozen people were patrolling the four walls.
A capable figure walked in the shadows like a fish in the water.
Recently, he could even jog past the patrol members without alerting them.
“Visibility -100%. Too impressive.”
Lin Xuan sighed.
Poison Blade passed through the door of light of the mystic realm and ran in the vast wilderness under the moonlight.
An hour later, Poison Blade turned around and arrived at an abandoned village.
This place had been flattened by the demon beasts a hundred years ago and turned into ruins.
Few people usually came.
A few reckless demon beasts rushed up and were casually killed by Poison Blade.
Then, he walked into a house.
A moment later, an engine roared in the house.
Boom!
An off-road vehicle shattered the house and rushed out, instantly blending into the night.
This off-road vehicle almost had no shell and was only made of steel.
It was rough and dusty, but it had a different kind of wilderness beauty.
This was the off-road vehicle Mu Qiang had hidden here long ago.
Because the wilderness was vast, even Seventh Realm martial artists could not rely on their two legs to advance. Therefore, they had to use transportation.
The most commonly used vehicle in the Construction Division was an off-road vehicle.
The off-road vehicle modified by the experts of the Construction Division was even more popular.
However, this kind of off-road vehicle was considered a controlled product in the Construction Division. Only members of the Construction Division could buy it. Moreover, even if they bought it, they had to record its use and itinerary.
Of course, Mu Qiang could not directly buy an off-road vehicle.
He had bought a large number of parts and used many discreet methods to bring the various parts here and had spent a lot of time assembling them.
This guy was also a genius. He had actually taught himself how to process parts. If he got any better, a [Mechanical Processing] skill might even appear on his skill panel.
He was only able to secretly build an off-road vehicle by relying on these methods.
Of course, he had not actually done all this in secret.
Although most of the methods were already very secretive, the members of the Construction Division still caught onto some clues and found this off-road vehicle.
Moreover, through this off-road vehicle, they were able to discover Mu Qiang’s identity as a spy of the High Heaven Plains.
“I have to leave the original Xia Country and pass through some of the Siberia region to reach the sea. The journey is going to be quite long.”
Poison Blade looked at the location again and rushed over.
At the same time.
A majestic figure rode on the back of the white bear and headed south unhurriedly.
Bears were not good at long-distance running, not to mention that this was a huge mutated polar bear.
When the man and bear went south, they stopped constantly. They even killed demon beasts and roasted them for food.
In addition, the Arctic Army base was indeed very far from the Construction Division.
Therefore, he walked slowly. After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the border of the original Xia Country.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Nelko finished a bottle of vodka and threw the bottle far away.
Under the effect of the alcohol, his capillaries opened and dispersed the coldness on the surface of his body.
The big bear under him roared in dissatisfaction.
Nelko laughed loudly. “Sorry, I’m done.”
“Let’s go quickly. When we reach the city of the Construction Division, we’ll buy a bar there.”
Only then did Big Bear snort in satisfaction.
At this moment, Nelko’s ears suddenly twitched, and his expression instantly turned solemn.
“Someone’s here!”
The big bear also became vigilant and observed nervously in all directions.
“Over there, let’s go!”
Nelko pointed in one direction.
The big bear immediately stomped the ground and jumped six to seven meters, quickly approaching in the direction of the engine.
“Is that a person?”
Poison Blade on the off-road vehicle also sensed someone approaching.
The dark gold grade [High-Level Perception] was not obtained for nothing.
Through the rearview mirror, he could gradually see the other party’s face and the curiosity in his eyes.
“A martial artist from the north… Could the other party be from the Arctic Army?”
Poison Blade frowned slightly.
Normally, he would not mind getting to know this person.
However, he needed to keep a low profile and carry out the mission now. He could not cause unnecessary trouble.
“Brother, I’m an Arctic Army martial artist. I’m heading to the Construction Division with the sole purpose of competing with Shield Ghost. What about you? Why are you wandering in the wilderness at night?”
Behind him, the martial artist’s not-so-fluent Chinese sounded.
Poison Blade was stunned and then did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Damn, Shield Ghost’s reputation was already so great? It had actually spread to the Arctic Army!
Poison Blade did not even turn around and stepped on the accelerator.
This off-road vehicle was not very sturdy or stable. Its only advantage was its speed!
After all, this was a car for escaping.
When Mu Qiang assembled it himself, he had already considered the possibility of being chased by the Construction Division and had worked hard to increase its speed.
Boom!
The engine was like a dozen ferocious men roaring in unison.
The distance between the SUV and Nelko instantly widened.
Even if Nelko was a genius martial artist, he could not catch up to the speed of the off-road vehicle.
That vehicle had four wheels and consumed oil.
He only had two legs and consumed food.
How could the two be the same?
Nelko did not chase after him.
He knew he could not catch up to the vehicle.
The white bear under him was also panting.
“What a fast car. It’s probably been modified.”
“He’s driving away from the Construction Division to the northeast of Asia… He probably wants to head to the sea, right? Is that guy a traitor of the Construction Division?”
Nelko frowned slightly and patted the white bear under him. “Let’s go. We have to quickly go to the Construction Division’s city and tell them this news.”
