This thing was pitch black all over, with a head as big as a bucket, and four limbs crawling quickly on the ground. It let out a piercing scream at the orc swordsman, and suddenly used force on its limbs to pounce forward.
The orc swordsman crossed his swords and slashed the monster with a cross, and a bright red damage value suddenly floated up.
-6570! (Orc Swordsman)
Zhang Ze noticed that this monster didn't have much health, and the orc swordsman's blow just now knocked out half of its health.
You must know that the orc swordsman is only the BOSS of the tenth level of the demon realm. In the high-level demon realm, his strength may not be as good as the mobs.
In the end, he was able to knock out half of the monster's HP, which shows how low the monster's strength is.
At this time, the monster's speed suddenly increased, and the orc swordsman was unexpectedly caught on the back by its claws, causing single-digit damage.
"This thing doesn't have high attack power, nor high defense power. It looks like garbage."
Zhang Ze had just finished thinking, and the next moment he knew that he had made a mistake in judgment.
Because he discovered that the orc swordsman suddenly became older, and his body that was originally straight and straight now became crooked and rickety.
The three black braids on his head also turned gray at this moment.
The orc swordsman aged dozens of years in an instant!
"What's going on?" Zhang Ze's eyes suddenly widened. It was obvious that the orc swordsman only became old after being attacked by that monster.
Liu Yueying's face was solemn and he said, "It seems that the monster's attack effect can make the target age."
Zhang Ze nodded. He was ready. Once the orc swordsman was in danger, he would take it back to avoid his death in battle.
However, the orc swordsman's performance greatly exceeded Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying's expectations.
Even though he has aged several decades, his fighting skills seem to have become more sophisticated.
Facing the monster's attack, the elderly version of the orc swordsman did not fall behind at all. He relied on his rich combat experience to deal with the monster and finally killed it with his sword.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ze remembered an ancient allusion: Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?
The monster was killed by the orc swordsman, and its body gradually changed. Only a human figure appeared on the spot. Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying were surprised to find that it turned out to be Li Bo!
"It turns out that after this monster called Mystery captures people, it turns them into monsters and then releases them..." Zhang Ze pursed his lips and said, "Could this be its purpose of capturing humans?"
The mystery saw that his monster, the Orc Swordsman, was solved, and it decided to come on the scene in person. Seeing this, Zhang Ze immediately took the Orc Swordsman back into the summoning space, and he also decided to deal with the monster himself.
But at this moment, the bell rang, and the mystery disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Zhang Ze looked around and saw no sign of the mystery. He confirmed that the monster had really disappeared and was not hiding to attack him.
Turning around, he came to Li Bo and found that Li Bo had stopped breathing. His eyes were wide open with fear in his eyes.
"We made a mistake. We should send a follower to protect Li Bo." Zhang Ze shook his head. The matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it.
Crouching down, Zhang Ze planned to search Li Bo's body to see if he could find some useful clues.
As a result, when he just met Li Bo, a prompt popped up in his field of vision.
[Do you want to consume one opportunity to extract time value? 】
【Yes or no? 】
Zhang Ze was surprised. He didn't expect that humans could actually extract the value of time.
What surprised him even more was that Li Bo's body actually had a time value of 150 points, which meant that this man had lived for 150 years!
"Is Li Bo already one hundred and fifty years old?!"
Zhang Ze looked at Li Bo's body again and thought to himself: "But from the outside, he is just an ordinary man in his thirties, not like a centenarian at all. What's going on?"
After thinking about it, he realized that Time Town had been reincarnating for twelve hours. No one knew how many times it had reincarnated.
As Li Bo lives here, he naturally undergoes reincarnations in Time Town, so his lifespan continues to increase, but his appearance does not change at all.
"It makes sense when you look at it." Zhang Ze pinched his chin and nodded slightly.
At this time, Ju Shen, Liu Yueying and others also arrived one after another. Everyone was surprised to see the corpse on the ground.
Zhang Ze told what he had discovered again, and everyone was even more surprised.
"So, the monster that spit out the black mist just now is actually Li Bo?" The irritable Dragon King asked in disbelief as he looked at the corpse on the ground.
He moved the knife and nodded affectionately: "Yes, now we know what the monster's purpose is in capturing humans."
Sky Melancholy looked at Li Bo's body and sighed: "I didn't expect that he has lived for one hundred and fifty years, which is equivalent to a living fossil."
"It's amazing. The maximum lifespan of a human being is only over 130 years old. Li Bo has already broken the human record..." Xiaoniaoyiren said with envy on his face.
Throughout the ages, from common people to emperors, no one wants to live forever.
"There's nothing to envy. I haven't been able to go anywhere for the past one hundred and fifty years. I've been stuck in a small town with no other people of the same kind. The loneliness is something you and I can't imagine." Yiye Zhiqiu shook his head and said.
The giant god sighed: "It's a pity that the last resident of Time Town has died. I'm afraid no one can solve the secret of this town."
Little Princess Qian asked curiously: "Twelve hours later, Time Town will be reset. Will Li Bo be resurrected?"
"No!" Zhang Ze said firmly: "If they can be resurrected, then other residents of Time Town can also be resurrected. But, they are not."
Suddenly, Zhang Ze thought of a question. Since this mystery has absorbed so many humans, does it mean that the time value of this guy must be very considerable?
If we get rid of this guy, how much time value can we get?
"Since this man is dead, don't waste it and extract his time value." The irritable Dragon King suggested.
No one objected. After all, it would not be good to let Li Bo's body lie on the street. It would be better to let him disappear.
So, the furious Dragon King withdrew Li Bo's time value, and then everyone went directly to the antique store to see the curator's situation.
As soon as Zhang Ze entered the antique shop, the curator came up to him with a sad face and complained: "Master, you can't blame me. I clearly prepared everything last night. Who knew that when the bell rang, they would all come back?" In place, all my previous work was in vain and I had to start all over again.”
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "I know, I won't blame you, just keep working."
His mind was still thinking about the previous problem, how to deal with the mystery.
The curator's work efficiency was still very high, and he had already searched for it, so he quickly placed the ten oldest antiques in front of everyone.
"Master, I've found it." The curator introduced to Zhang Ze: "Each of these ten antiques is more than three hundred years old! The highest is eight hundred years!"
Little Princess Money immediately came up to her and asked, "Which one is the tallest?"
The curator pointed to an exquisite crystal cup and said, "This one is the oldest and can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Very good! I want this!" Little Princess Money happily put the crystal cup into her system backpack, and then said to the others: "Everyone should also take one."
Except for Zhang Ze, everyone else stepped forward, picked an item and put it in their system backpack, waiting to see if the antique was still there when the town was reset next time.
Liu Yueying saw that Zhang Ze had been thinking silently and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about the monster called Enigma before." Zhang Ze expressed his thoughts: "I think Enigma must have a lot of time value, because it swallowed up all the people in the town. One Li Bo has 150 time points, and with so many people in the town, the total will definitely exceed 10,000!"
"But that monster's body is transparent and we can't touch it. How can we defeat it?" Liu Yueying asked with a slight frown.
Zhang Ze sighed slightly: "Yes, this is also what I am thinking about."
"It's useless to just think about it. We can only find flaws in the mystery during the battle." Liu Yueying comforted Zhang Ze: "You have done a good job, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Now, although the leader of the team is still the giant god, the actual leader is actually Zhang Ze.
In order to lead the team to pass the customs smoothly, Zhang Ze racked his brains and tried his best to find a safe and fast way for everyone to pass the customs.
However, manpower will sometimes be exhausted. After all, Zhang Ze is not a god, so it is impossible to cover everything.
Zhang Ze knew that Liu Yueying cared about him, so he smiled and gently stroked Liu Yueying's hair: "Thank you for your concern."
Now, there is nothing else to do during the day. Everyone already knows that the monster in the town has only one mystery, and it only moves at certain times, so it is usually safe.
So everyone separated in twos and threes and visited Time Town to pass the time.
Liu Yueying held Zhang Ze's arm and walked on the street.
One night, Zhiqiu took the snow girl and ran away to an unknown place. The little money princess also went to the bank and jewelry store with the irritable Dragon King.
Several girls, including Zhang Feng and Moonlight Rabbit, went to a clothing store to experience it. Only the two old bachelors, Ju Shen and Dong Dao Bu Qing, found a game of chess and played several rounds in the hotel room.
At noon, everyone was hungry, so they went to the supermarket in the town to do some shopping. It didn’t cost any money anyway, so they could get whatever they wanted.
Just like that, the sun finally set and the clock struck eleven.
"Everyone, be prepared. As soon as the mystery appears, we will all go out and besiege it!" the giant god said to everyone.
"But this monster is transparent, what should we do?" Zhang Feng said worriedly.
The orc swordsman put forward an idea without emotion: "Previously, the orc swordsman used physical attacks, but failed to encounter the mystery. Does this mean that physical attacks are ineffective against him?"
"Why don't you try a magic attack? Maybe it will have an effect."
Ichigo raised his hand and said: "This matter can be left to me and Yuki Ono. The two of us work together to use magic attacks, which are very powerful. As long as we can hit the mystery, it will be frozen in place by magic."
The Melancholy of the Sky, Moonlight Rabbit and Zhang Feng also shouted: "We can also help. Although our magic attacks are not as powerful as Brother Zhiqiu and Snow Girl, they are still magic attacks and can always come in handy."
"Okay, then you should be more careful." The giant god nodded: "Once your attack is effective, the monster's hatred value will definitely be pulled by you, but don't worry, I will protect you!"
After everything was arranged, everyone quietly waited for the twelfth bell to ring.
Dang Dang Dang...
The bell is ringing!
Everyone looked out the window and saw a black mist gradually condensing into shape on the dim street. It was the mystery!
I saw it wandering slowly on the street, not knowing what it was looking for.
"Now that everyone in the town has been captured by it, what is it still looking for?" Liu Yueying asked Zhang Ze in a low voice.
"Probably they are looking for us." Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "After all, we are the only humans left in this town now."
"Since the mystery only captures humans, we are also within its capture range."
While the two were talking, the little money princess behind them suddenly called out: "Oh! The antiques in my system backpack are missing!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at their system backpacks, only to find that their things were also missing.
Sky sighed melancholy and said: "It seems that the little princess's method has no effect. As soon as the time comes, everything will be reset except for us."
"Ah, so depressing!" Little Princess Money stamped her feet angrily. She thought her method would work, but it failed.
"Now it seems that the only way is to defeat the mystery." Shandao Bubu shook his head slightly: "If we can't defeat the mystery, we won't be able to get enough time value, and we may be trapped here in the future... just like Li Bo Same."
Everyone fell into silence. Yes, if they could not collect 10,000 time points, their keys would not be able to pass through the stone door, and naturally they would not be able to enter the next level of the demonic realm.
"Since there is only one way left for us now, everyone should be prepared to fight this mystery to the end!" The giant god clenched the shield in his hand.
Zhang Ze said: "Let's stick to the old rules. Let my followers come up first. Everyone will assist in the attack and let the followers draw the monster's hatred. This way, everyone will be safer."
"That's it, let's go!"
The furious Dragon King pushed open the window, held the [Xi Xin Iron Soldier], and jumped out of the window.
Others followed him one after another, slowly approaching the mystery.
Mystery also noticed them, turned around and rushed towards them quickly.
Zhang Ze thought, and the clown, Zhu Bajie, six-eared macaque, steel armor and other entourages appeared one after another.
"Joker, use your special moves to see if you can solve this mystery!"
If the clown's special move can produce results, then a lot of time and energy can be saved, and more importantly, danger can be avoided.
"Okay master!" The clown immediately complied. He reached into his arms and flicked his wrist. Countless cards flew in the sky, and in the end only one remained.
The clown grabbed him and said with a smile: "Lucky is a mystery. Let us all congratulate him on his death with warm applause!"
Black clouds gathered above the head of the mystery, and then a giant furry hand stretched out from inside and suddenly struck the mystery.
Then there was a loud bang, and a huge five-finger palm print was printed on the ground of the street!
However, such terrifying power had no impact on the mystery, because the devil's claws passed directly through its body and hit the ground hard.
"It's really useless..." Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes. Although he expected this result, he still felt very depressed.
"Hehehe!"
The mystery on the other side let out a strange laugh, and then spit out a monster from the black mist, which was exactly the same as the monster that attacked the orc swordsman before.
