44: Doomsday Dungeon - Doomsday City (Part 6)

"Accept!"

[Congratulations, Player, for accepting the unique hidden quest!

Current number of players who have accepted the quest: 2]

Tang Ping's heart suddenly tightened. What was going on? Why were there two people who accepted it?

Could it be? A bad guess immediately formed in his mind.

"Niu Niu, let's hurry up!"

If he wasn't mistaken, Tang Ping was certain that the other person who had also accepted the unique hidden quest was Sheng Tianqi!

How long had the other party accepted it? Had he already almost reached the top of the tower?

"How is he so fast! He couldn't have just appeared directly in the Pearl Tower after entering the dungeon, could he?"

Tang Ping calmed his panicked mind and started heading upstairs!

"Niu Niu, from now on, we're going all out for the top floor!"

Niu Niu's head, at some point, had grown hair, and she blinked her big eyes: "Niu Niu will definitely help Big Brother!"

At this moment, the two were already on the seventy-second floor, with dozens of floors remaining until the top.

If everything went smoothly, with his speed, it wouldn't take long at all.

However, this place was filled with powerful mutated Infected.

At the stairwell, a small boy stood. From behind, the small boy looked very normal.

"Another mutated Infected."

The tip of Tang Ping's blade scraped against the ground, and suddenly, his figure vanished from its spot!

The next second, an afterimage appeared in front of the small boy!

The blade tip approached the small boy's head!

The clothes on the small boy's back suddenly stretched open, no! To be precise, they opened!

A huge vertical eye appeared on the small boy's back... "Someone else actually accepted the quest."

"But it looks like he hasn't completed it yet, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to accept it."

Sheng Tianqi put away the paper in his hand.

"Director Sheng, did you find anything?" Wang Yanyan walked over.

"Let's go, upstairs!"

Sheng Tianqi's Shelter appeared in his hand. It was an intricately carved, lifelike jade mountain, with green pines, ancient cypresses, cranes, and koi fish, exquisitely beautiful!

A ray of celestial light fell from above, and the two immediately sped towards the top floor!

Shelter - jade mountain

Shelter Trait: SSS-rank Wonderland

... "Such powerful spiritual energy!" Tang Ping only felt like his head was about to explode!

This mutated Infected's spiritual energy was terrifying enough to affect reality!

He had just been directly blasted away by a powerful impact.

"How dare you hurt my Big Brother!" Niu Niu's eyes instantly turned red, and she leaped up, extending sharp claws from both hands!

The huge vertical eye on the small boy's back tried to attack again, but suddenly, a fleshy flower bud grew from Niu Niu's back.

Then, the crimson flesh bloomed like petals, and these petals transformed into tentacles, striking down at the small boy like missiles!

Boom! The small boy was sent flying.

In a flash of lightning, a cold light pursued, and Tang Ping's figure appeared in front of the small boy.

The blade fell!

The crimson Red Lotus Flame bloomed at the tip of the blade, and with a soft 'thump', it pierced into the small boy's body!

A sharp scream and layers upon layers of mental shockwaves instantly shattered the tempered glass.

Tang Ping was also sent flying!

His Tang blade plunged into the ground, holding on tightly! But this only slowed him down a little.

"Big Brother!" The fleshy petals behind Niu Niu flew out like lightning, coiling around Tang Ping.

"Cough, cough!" A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out. Tang Ping felt a little better, but he had clearly suffered severe internal injuries. He quickly took out an S-rank Life Potion and consumed a few drops.

The injuries finally stopped worsening and began to recover rapidly.

"I'm fine, Niu Niu, let's continue upstairs." His gaze fell on the small boy. On the ground, only an eye-shaped gem remained, but this was just a lifeless object, clearly the small boy was dead.

But Tang Ping's heart was solemn; even his Red Lotus Flame hadn't burned it to ashes!

"Put it into the Shelter first." He felt that this item should be worth a lot of money; even if no one recognized its value now, he could still sell it a hundred years later... "Director Sheng, what kind of monster is this?" Wang Yanyan looked at the small boy with fear.

"You use your Talent to continuously interfere with him, and I'll handle the rest." Sheng Tianqi's expression was solemn.

The small boy's spiritual energy attacked again. The powerful spiritual energy distorted reality, and the air itself twisted.

The jade mountain Shelter floated above Sheng Tianqi's head, with rays of celestial light falling, shielding the two within.

The small boy's eyes rotated, and an even more powerful attack came again, causing the air to emit a sharp screeching sound!

This time, Sheng Tianqi and Wang Yanyan's bodies shattered like paintings.

However, the shattered figures gradually turned ethereal and disappeared.

"Director Sheng! His eye! I want his eye! That thing can make my Talent advance!"

Wang Yanyan's fervent voice echoed around them.

"Okay."

The small boy suddenly felt his body tense, and the next second, the vertical eye in his body was actually peeled away alive!

Finally, the eye exploded, and an eye-shaped gem appeared inside.

"That's it! I can feel that with it, my Talent can advance to S-rank!" Wang Yanyan and Sheng Tianqi's figures appeared from another direction.

"Talent advancement, huh." Sheng Tianqi nodded: "Then you use it first."

"Thank you, Director Sheng!" Wang Yanyan cooed, then pressed the eye gem to her forehead.

A third eye gradually grew on Wang Yanyan's forehead.

A-Rank Talent - Spirit Illusion

Evolved into S-rank Talent - Phantom Mirage!

"Are you ready? Since you are, let's go up quickly."

"Ready, Director Sheng!"

... "Almost there, the quest hasn't disappeared, which means the other person hasn't completed it yet!"

Tang Ping was slightly out of breath. Even with over a hundred points in physique, fighting his way through the entire time still made him feel extremely exhausted.

Especially since many of the mutated Infected were quite strong.

"My SSS-rank Shelter Trait is still too weak in terms of combat support."

He gave a wry smile. Although his Shelter had an SSS-rank Trait, it provided little to no help in his combat.

And those who chose weapon models, ancient artifact fragments, or even various ancient bronzes, tripods, porcelain, and antiques as their Shelters obtained shelter items that could not only serve as Shelters but also as excellent weapons!

Unfortunately, most weapon models generally wouldn't yield high-level Shelter Traits, and as for precious antiques, Tang Ping didn't have the means to acquire them.

However, Tang Ping didn't regret it. The SSS-rank Shelter Trait - Mini-games, although it seemed to offer little help now, would become terrifying later on!

Especially in terms of support.

He remembered the player who had the mini-game - Pixel Farm; in the later stages, he managed to sustain an entire large Safe Zone with just a small farm!

And there was also the player who had plants vs. zombies; in the later stages, he even used it to establish a system independent of the Talent system within his own Safe Zone!

One could form a contract with plants and grow alongside them!

The plants in plants vs. zombies could evolve, and after evolving, the contractor's four-dimensional attributes could also receive a huge boost!

So his Shelter Trait was not weak.

Tang Ping knew that Sheng Tianqi possessed an extremely powerful Shelter.

He thought its specific Trait would definitely not be lower than SS-Rank. He heard from Old Brother Niu that it was a shelter item that integrated offense and defense.

"Good thing my four-dimensional attributes are strong enough, otherwise, I really might not have been able to compete."

Tang Ping finished off the Infected in front of him with a single blade strike, his entire body soaked in sweat.

"The saviors ring, the SS-Rank Talent, must be mine!" He got up and continued rushing upstairs.
