CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 322: COMPOSITE EERIE DOMAIN (118/167)

Sure, here is the translated text:

"No attacking others within the shop."

The old man pursed his lips and spoke with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but look in the direction of the old man. He noticed that the old man’s eyes had a hollow look at that moment.

At the same time, Gu Xi observed that many places in the ramen shop began to change, such as the stove he noticed earlier, and the windows that can look outside, all had transformed.

Gu Xi was quick to react. He pointed at the overturned bowl of ramen and said to the old man, "He spilled my ramen, he has to compensate."

The man kicked out by Gu Xi hadn’t reacted at all and shouted angrily.

"Compensate your sister!"

With that, he threw a punch at Gu Xi, which carried a flame-like aura and the smell of sulfur.

Players from Cold Leaf City.

Gu Xi instantly made a judgment, considering that Qiufeng City’s Order Mages understand eerie rules well. The old man had already issued the first warning, yet those who wouldn’t stop could only be Demon Sorcerers from Demon City.

Gu Xi dodged backward at the first moment.

Even though he knew it was the best choice to take the punch at that moment.

But Gu Xi also cared about his face; being hit inadvertently might be excusable, but being prepared and still getting hit was something Gu Xi couldn’t afford.

As Gu Xi dodged backward, the Demon Sorcerer reacted too, his face changed, and he immediately tried to withdraw and was about to explain to the old man.

At that moment, Gu Xi raised his left hand, and the Spirit Lamp skill activated.

Enchanting!

Unnoticed by the old man, Gu Xi’s skill landed on the Demon Sorcerer.

Gu Xi didn’t make the sorcerer do anything unreasonable, just made the Demon Sorcerer step forward again and punch Gu Xi.

This was what the Demon Sorcerer wanted to do anyway, so the Enchanting effect was quite successful.

Gu Xi was well prepared at this moment. He flashed to the old man’s side while guiding the Demon Sorcerer to attack the old man.

The Demon Sorcerer was influenced by Enchanting but wasn’t really stupid.

As he threw a punch and realized something was wrong, he tried to retract his hand.

But it was already too late. The seemingly weak old man blocked the Demon Sorcerer’s blow with his hand.

The old man then turned to look at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi glanced at the ramen that was spilled on the ground, internally noting how sinister the old man was.

If the Demon Sorcerer hadn’t acted, Gu Xi would have finished the ramen, and there wouldn’t be any trouble.

But now that the Demon Sorcerer had overturned the bowl, leaving Gu Xi unable to finish the last mouthful, he would draw eerie attention if he left like this.

Staying would mean the old man, representing the eerie, would kill the Demon Sorcerer. Since attacks during the day must remain unnoticed, the old man would either do nothing or dispose of both Gu Xi and the Demon Sorcerer.

This was certainly not acceptable.

Gu Xi had no intention of testing how powerful this eerie entity was.

Gu Xi pondered for quite a while but still didn’t understand the origin of the eerie entity.

Therefore, he needed to leave safely.

With this thought, Gu Xi turned around on the spot, walked to the overturned bowl of ramen, picked it up and placed it on the table, then raised his hand to grab the noodles scattered on the ground.

Without waiting for the old man or Demon Sorcerer to react, Gu Xi ate the last mouthful of ramen.

"It tastes good, I’m leaving now."

After saying that sentence, Gu Xi didn’t even wash his hands, turned his head, and walked out of the ramen shop.

Gu Xi quickly walked down the street to the corner, opened his mouth, and spit the last mouthful of ramen onto the ground.

At this moment, Gu Xi noticed that the noodles turned dark red, as if soaked in blood.

Simultaneously, Gu Xi’s Life Force was affected by the noodles, directly reducing by about half.

Wiping his hands on himself, Gu Xi took out a piece of white paper from his briefcase, which now displayed information about the eerie entity.

[Wooden Tube Ramen Shop (composite eerie domain)]

[1. House of Immortality (Level 5): A relatively common High Tier eerie entity, also the starting point of eerie domains, possessing a land title obtained via blood sacrifice of an eerie entity. While the property has an owner, it won’t be occupied by eerie entities, and the owner can control the house rules.]

[Defeat method: not found]

[2. Bloody Pot (Level 3): A blood pot used for cooking. Never look at what’s cooking inside; after seeing it, you probably won’t want to eat again.]

[Defeat method: not found]

[Survival Rules: 1. Food cooked must be completely eaten; leaving unfinished results in death. 2. Do not waste food; those who waste will have their life deducted...]

[...]

[5. Bell of Warning (Level 5): No fighting permitted within a designated area. If an attack is initiated, the property owner can prevent it, and their power will be double that of the attacker.]

[Defeat method: not found]

[...]

[Description: Composite eerie domains are formed by the gathering of multiple eerie entities, creating a complex domain which needs confronting all eerie entities to destroy.]

"Eerie domain?"

Gu Xi pondered; could this be a part of the buildings meant for occupation in the initial mission?

If that was true, maybe he could come occupy this place at night?

With this in mind, Gu Xi looked back at Wooden Tube Ramen Shop, memorized its location, and planned to return at night.

After all, it’s close to Wudou Minami’s inn, only a few blocks away.

When these eerie entities can’t move at night, this place would become Gu Xi’s arena.

Then, Gu Xi would return all that happened earlier.

After a deep snort, Gu Xi got back on his bicycle, heading to the next target.

Shortly after Gu Xi left the area, an explosion sound boomed from within the Wooden Tube Ramen Shop.

However, the explosion wasn’t powerful, not affecting the shop’s integrity, and without the blast, no one on the street would probably know something occurred in the ramen shop.

Even Gu Xi only learned that the Cold Leaf City’s Xu Song had perished after seeing the information pop up.

[Xu Song from Cold Leaf City died in battle.]

This information made Gu Xi feel his choice to leave earlier was correct.

If he hadn’t left then, his name would likely appear on the death list.

Now, Gu Xi was a lot more cautious on his journey, knowing that treasures nearby would certainly have some eerie entities guarding them. Being careless like before might trap himself while searching for treasures.
