Chapter 59 A Highway You Can't Escape?
The moment he finished speaking, Zhao Hai's palm sank slightly.
A dark wooden sword appeared quietly, its surface smooth and warm to the touch like old jade.
The sword's blade is warm and smooth, yet the wood grain gleams with a cold metallic sheen. A very thin, willow-twig-shaped silver line is embedded along the spine of the blade, as if it is still sprouting.
As the willow wood sword appeared in his hand, Zhao Hai also sensed the information contained within it.
[Willow Wood Sword (Already bound to a master)]
[Ability 1: Willow Leaf - Flash Sheath]
The sword instantly split into thirty-six thin, cicada-wing-like wooden blades, which could be deflected at will within a radius of forty meters, depending on the user's finger movements.
[Ability 2: Willow Branch - Entanglement]
The sword can transform into a thick branch forty meters long for attacks.
[Side effect 1: After each use, the user must do something that incurs resentment from others and makes them hate them!]
Side effect two: The user must kill the person who harbors resentment towards them within 24 hours! Otherwise, the willow wood sword will absorb the wielder's blood, causing the wielder to develop resentment towards the willow wood sword!
Once the resentment level of the willow sword reaches a certain value, the wielder can no longer use the willow sword.
Good heavens! This willow wood sword made from resentful willow branches is sure to attract hatred from its wielder!
I wonder who named this sword, oh dear! If you ask me, this sword should be called the Sword of Resentment!
Knowing about the side effects of the willow wood sword, Zhao Hai muttered to himself.
However, he didn't care at all about the side effects of the willow wood sword.
In the "Strange Artifacts" category of the system shop, the system specifically states that all strange artifacts redeemed from the system shop or made by the system will have no side effects on the host!
Therefore, while others might worry about the side effects of using this willow wood sword, it had no side effects for Zhao Hai.
Moreover, the strange artifacts produced by the system automatically recognized him as their master.
This strange artifact is like a magical weapon in a cultivation novel; it even requires blood to bind it to its owner!
Moreover, this strange artifact is somewhat different from the blood-binding ceremony in cultivation novels.
In cultivation novels, blood recognition only requires a single drop of blood, while magical artifacts require much more blood.
Zhao Hai still remembered Xu Wenchu telling him that he had given up half a bowl of blood to bind his trumpet-shaped artifact to its owner, leaving him completely weak.
Looking at the willow wood sword in his hand, Zhao Hai was extremely satisfied. After all, this was a magical weapon that had no side effects on him, and its attack power was not weak!
After examining his willow wood sword once more, Zhao Hai shrunk it and put it into his sleeve.
Once a magical artifact recognizes its master, most of them can change size at will according to the master's control.
However, there are some exceptions to the trickery, like Xu Wenzhu's large and small loudspeakers!
Great! Imagine if someone used a hidden sword in their sleeve – that would be incredibly cool!
Looking at the willow wood sword he had hidden in his sleeve, Zhao Hai began to imagine.
Afterwards, Zhao Hai took two loaves of bread, locked the car, and went to find Wang Hu.
"Tiger Bro! Here! Bread!"
"Hai Zi, you've been taking way too long to get the bread! You weren't using getting the bread as an excuse to secretly masturbate in the car, were you?" Wang Hu joked in a lighthearted manner.
"Wang Hu! I'll fuck your ass! Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, there are so many women in the caravan! If I really wanted to, I could just pick one at random, why would I need to solve this myself!" Zhao Hai said irritably, his excitement at getting the willow wood sword instantly dissipating.
"Hehe! I was just joking with you..."
Early the next morning, Xu Wenchu set off with his convoy.
Zhou Jian'an and his convoy followed behind the Xinghuo convoy.
The convoy, which had nearly doubled in size, did not bring any sense of security to the group; the journey was quiet.
Along the way, Xu Wenchu did not lead the team to stop, and continued to move forward.
Until three hours later...
"Squeak!"
The tires rubbed against the ground, making a sharp, short sound that hurt people's ears.
Xu Wenchu's SUV stopped at the front. Xu Wenchu got out of the car and looked at the familiar abandoned apartment in front of him, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
The ordinary survivors in the convoy behind also looked terrified when they saw this scene.
"What the extraordinary person said about the convoy's sequence was actually true! We're actually back in this apartment building!"
"How is this possible! We've been walking straight ahead the whole time, without even turning a corner, how could we be back here?"
"Is...is it possible that this is actually another apartment, just one that looks similar?"
"There can't be such a coincidence, can there?"
"If it's not a coincidence, could it be something eerie?"
Someone sneered, "We've walked at least forty kilometers. What kind of strange entity could cover such a large area? If such a thing truly existed, we would be dead already!"
After being rebuked by these words, the person was momentarily speechless.
Zhao Hai got out of the car, frowned as he looked at the familiar surroundings, and his heart sank as well.
Only one thought occupied my mind: When?!
When exactly was he affected? Although he wasn't in the Guide Sequence, he still possessed some basic sensory abilities! Along the way, he hadn't noticed anything amiss!
Zhao Hai walked over to Xu Wenzhu and asked in a low voice, "Did you sense any strange aura?"
Xu Wenchu shook his head: "No, that's exactly what's strange. We haven't sensed a single eerie aura along the way!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai and the other extraordinary beings' expressions darkened.
Zhao Hai had painstakingly accumulated 36 sign-in points, which he then used to craft a willow wood sword.
By yesterday, there was only one check-in point left! Even if he checked in at five check-in points this morning, it still wouldn't be enough!
Otherwise, he could check if the apartment in front of him was eerie.
That's right, Zhao Hai now suspects that this apartment is the source of the mystery!
After all, they had been going straight the whole way, yet they ended up here! Therefore, there must be something wrong with this apartment!
Zhou Jian'an walked slowly over from behind and said, "Gentlemen, do you believe me now?"
Wang Hu frowned and said, "Is it possible that this is a similar apartment building?"
"You're also a sequence transcendent? Do you even believe that yourself?" Zhou Jian'an sneered.
"But I haven't sensed anything strange along the way! If this apartment in front of us is strange, how could we, as two Sequence 2 guides, not sense its strange aura when it's so close to us!" Xu Wenchu's face was also grim.
