Chapter 163 Madam, are you a transcendent?
"What kind of strange power is this?!"
The moment Ryan was grabbed, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body and his hair stood on end.
His first reaction was: What else could be in this dark passage except that tentacle monster? !
Instinctively, he wanted to break free from the thing holding his shoulders...
But he couldn't break free from that huge force.
At this moment, Ryan's combat stress reaction was also extremely fast. He knew that he could not fight head-on against such a crushing force, and he had to use skills. Then he reflexively supported himself with one hand, trying to turn around and get out of control.
But at this moment, the being behind him reacted faster. The moment Ryan tried to break free, he suddenly stretched out a slender hand and covered Ryan's mouth!
“Woo…woo…woo…”
Coincidentally, the hand that Ryan used to support himself was better at holding onto something, but it didn't feel like a wall, nor did it feel like the tentacles of a tentacle monster. His five fingers unconsciously sank into it, and it was soft and resilient, like... foaming dough?
Then, the existence behind him suddenly spoke, and it was a human voice.
"Shh! Don't talk!"
When Ryan heard the voice, he realized that the person who was holding him was actually a person?
And she's a woman?!
Listening more carefully, damn... why does this voice sound so familiar?
Although her tone was no longer coquettish but brisk and hurried, Ryan could still recognize it at once. Isn't this the vice president of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, Canossa J. Klofeller, who goes by the pseudonym "Mrs. Vanessa"?
…
Canossa seemed to be afraid that Ryan didn't know how terrifying the tentacle monster was, so she covered his mouth and didn't dare to let go. She also stuck her head out to observe the various corridors from time to time.
The two of them kept this "chest to back" posture, tightly pressed into the corner. Their skins were in contact with each other, their body temperatures were mutual, and they could even clearly feel each other's heartbeats.
However, at this critical moment, no one seemed to care that the posture was somewhat ambiguous.
What is going on?
Ryan's mind was still in a daze. He had just been chased by the tentacle monster and was in a panic. Now he actually ran into an acquaintance?
Didn't she disappear?
It’s actually in the tiankeng?
Besides... isn't this lady a weak rich woman? What was that "strange power" just now? Is she a supernatural being?
In an instant, countless questions flashed through Ryan's mind.
After about six or seven breaths, Ryan felt the hand covering his mouth loosen its strength.
"call……"
It seemed that the monster had gone far away after making such noises, and Canossa finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she looked down at Ryan's dirty hand on her chest and said unhappily, "Hey, hey, hey... Doctor Ryan, I'm trying to save you out of kindness, so you should take your hand off, right?"
"ah……"
Ryan seemed to have touched a hot potato and pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.
I was just trying to push away the "monster" behind me, but I didn't expect it to be a person. Then I was pressed so hard that I forgot...
After all, there was a reason for the incident, so there was no embarrassment between the two. And although the lady of Canossa made a joke, she obviously didn't really mind.
At this time, Ryan asked curiously: "Mrs. Canossa, why are you here? I heard Sam say that Susan and the others were dead before, and I thought you..."
"It's a long story now..."
Canossa was about to explain something when he suddenly caught the information in Ryan's painting and asked in surprise: "Sam is still alive?"
Ryan said, "Yes! When you were attacked in Red Rock Canyon before, wasn't he responsible for covering your retreat and separating from you? Then he fled back to the City of Glory with serious injuries for help, and your Chamber of Commerce also put an SSS bounty on you. Then, Uncle Sam came to the forest again after recovering from his injuries, and I happened to run into him before..."
Hearing this, Canossa was thoughtful but not too surprised.
Compared to Sam's matter, he looked at Ryan more puzzled and asked again: "Doctor Ryan, why are you here?"
Although she was trapped for two months and didn't know what happened outside, the depths of the "Forest of Ashes" were full of dangers and it was also the heartland of the barbarians. For example, their Chamber of Commerce's elite team had failed when they came in before. If a low-level extraordinary person came in, it could be said that he would die!
How did this young doctor make it here alive and get this deep?
And the next moment, she asked again: "Huh...you have advanced to the second level extraordinary?"
…
Now that the crisis has been temporarily resolved, Canossa has noticed something wrong with Ryan.
In a hurry just now, she pulled Ryan back, but the resistance was really strong. Even the pure strength-enhancing golden potion could never reach this level of "strange power".
I didn’t have time to think about it just now, but now that I think about it, I’m naturally shocked.
In an instant, she guessed something and asked in surprise, "Have you mastered the [Mighty Demon God] Body Refining Secret Technique?"
"The secret method of the [Mighty Demon God]? I..."
Ryan frowned, thinking that it was the [Hercules Secret] that Uncle Sam gave him.
However, now is obviously not the time to explain all this, and the tunnel where the monster is active is not suitable for staying.
"Come, follow me!"
Canossa didn't wait for Ryan to answer. She grabbed his wrist, found a passage and went in.
Only then did Ryan realize that Mrs. Canossa seemed to be very familiar with this fellow.
Moreover, she seemed to have carved marks on the corners of some corridors long ago. After a few steps, she had left the previous dirt corridor and came to a small house paved with bluestone.
Obviously, this is her "safe house".
…
After the two talked for ten minutes.
Ryan's expression became increasingly strange.
He looked at the beautiful lady in front of him, who was dressed in an exquisite cheongsam even in the dark underground palace, and said in disbelief: "So... you broke into the deep pit two months ago and have been staying there until now."
This seemingly delicate lady actually stayed alone in this dark underground sinkhole for two months. Not only did she not die, but she also figured out every path in the sinkhole?
"Um."
Kanossa hadn't spoken to anyone for two months. Seeing an acquaintance, he explained a few more words: "This temple is very important to me. I have received accurate information that this is most likely the temple of the 21st of the 'Seventy-two Generals of Monk', the [Mighty Demon God] Morogos. If there is a 'Divine Power Crystal' left by that god here, it will be the most suitable for my advancement. Therefore, even if the risk is great, I will never give up!"
When Ryan heard this, his eyes twitched slightly. There was no need for possibility. He was sure that this was the ruins of the temple of the god.
After thinking about it, he asked with a strange look: "So... Madam, are you a transcendent?"
Canossa probably guessed where , and said with a smile: "Did I say I wasn't?"
“…”
Hearing this, Ryan slapped his face in annoyance.
Come to think of it, it seemed so. I had never asked her, so I had a preconceived notion that she must be an ordinary person because of her delicate appearance.
Then, thinking of the strange power she had just used to control herself, Ryan immediately understood something and asked, "So, Madam, you have also practiced that strange power body-building secret method?"
Canossa didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything anymore. With a hint of teasing in his eyes, he said, "Yes. The secret book you learned was given to you by me, Sam."
Ryan said in his heart: It is true.
Then, the two of them spoke almost at the same time, asking in unison: "How did you master that secret technique?"
They both spoke at the same time, looked at each other in surprise, and then started laughing.
If you understand this secret method, then you will naturally know that it is extremely difficult to get started. It can be said that it is impossible for ordinary extraordinary people to practice it to perfection!
Ryan was able to take a shortcut because of the secret method of "Threading the Needle", and he also relied on the cheat of the intelligent brain to condense the "Gang Line". Others would not be able to use this method even if they had it.
Therefore, he was curious about how this Lady Canossa was made?
Now it seems that she has not only mastered it, but her level is probably either "perfection" or "the pinnacle of attainment".
Kano chuckled, covered his mouth and laughed, and answered first: "Didn't I tell you before? If you control your fighting spirit and don't let it leak out, you can practice the secret method."
After a pause, she realized that what she said was a little difficult to understand, so she explained, "However, there is no shortcut to this kind of 'Qi control' technique. You can only keep trying. Control the Dou Qi to the extreme, and eventually you will be able to slowly reduce the amount of leakage..."
“…”
Ryan rolled his eyes.
Controlling the Dou Qi from leaking out is like controlling the body from heating up, which is almost impossible!
But after hearing this, Ryan suddenly understood why he always felt that this lady was an ordinary person. It was not that she had no fighting spirit, but that she had completely locked her fighting spirit in her body without any overflow.
This is an ultimate breath control technique.
After explaining his method, Canossa blinked and asked curiously, "What about you? I haven't seen you for a few months, but I didn't expect you to advance to the second level. Moreover, I see that you seem to have mastered that secret method to a small degree?"
That's what surprised her.
If Ryan specialized in the [Hercules Secret], he could indeed master the technique in a short period of time.
However, because of the huge consumption of fighting spirit, the extraordinary realm will stagnate.
Therefore, she was very surprised that in just a few months, Ryan not only reached the second level of the extraordinary realm, but also mastered the secret method of [Mighty Demon God]!
Since the secret method was given by someone else, Ryan felt that there was nothing to hide, and said, "The extraordinary sequence I advanced to has an exclusive skill that can control the fighting spirit to flow in the muscles without disintegrating... So, I practiced it."
"There is such a secret method?"
Canossa was also surprised when he heard this.
If it existed in this world, the Black Gold Merchants would buy it at any price. But since they had never heard of it, this secret method made people very curious.
Ryan didn't want to explain further: "No one else can learn that secret method... It is exclusive to my extraordinary profession and requires a very high talent."
This point was confirmed by both Bazel and the Great Shaman Mafa. The difficulty of practicing [Threading the Needle] is extremely high.
"oh……"
Canossa looked into Ryan's eyes and didn't ask any more questions. After all, this involved privacy.
Moreover, she also felt that since Ryan said that others could not learn it, then they really could not learn it.
Now it seems that I made the right choice to give him the secret method. If these few people can really achieve "minor success", even if they can't "control qi" like me, it is not impossible to practice to the fullest.
At this moment, this extremely beautiful lady, whose boundless charm could not be concealed even without pretending to be coquettish, was thought of something, and a strange look appeared on her pretty face.
…
Canossa did not continue to dwell on this topic, but there were more pressing matters at hand.
She asked, "What on earth happened up there? I heard a loud noise just now..."
"This is a long story..."
Ryan slowly narrated: "This has to start from the time you were attacked. At that time, the 'Glorious City' issued a call for a war against all the people and launched an expedition against the 'Forest of Ashes', and then..."
When did they start hunting the wild animals, when did they advance into the jungle, and how did the five major families attack the Zhongting tribe...
Then the [Black Tide] erupted, and the forest outside was actually a giant flower...
Canossa was stunned when he heard this.
If she hadn't known Ryan, she would have thought she was listening to a bard telling exaggerated stories.
So many things have happened outside in the past two months?
No wonder she heard the noise before and a lot of things fell into the pit. So this is what happened.
After a long time, Canossa came back to his senses from the shock, "So, the road to this temple has been blocked by that giant flower?"
Ryan nodded: "The red-robed wizards in the City of Glory speculated that the only way out might be to see if there is a way out from under the temple."
Canossa: "Are you saying there are more people alive?"
Ryan: "It's not clear how many there are, but it's definitely a lot."
In this forest covered by the giant flower, there are not only people from the Glorious City, but also people from the Coleman Tribe. No matter what, there are still some people who survived.
“I see…”
When Canossa heard this, his brows slightly frowned.
Hearing that someone else was looking for the temple gave her a sense of urgency.
As for how to get out, Kanossa didn't have much worries. After all, there was no immediate danger to his life, and the matter of the "Divine Power Crystal" was more urgent.
Thinking of this, she said to Ryan, "I have determined the approximate location of the temple, but there is one last sealed bronze door leading to the temple that cannot be opened! Maybe I need a key, or something else... I am trying to find clues to open the door in these ruins..."
When Ryan heard this, he understood.
It wasn't a coincidence that we met before.
Instead, Lady Canossa was looking for clues to open the door in the ruins. She heard the noise in the corridor, came over, saw Ryan running around in the corridor, and pulled him.
At this time, Canossa said again: "I found that the range of the tentacle monster's activities also has a certain pattern. It is particularly easy to be discovered in certain tunnels, but in some tunnels, it is absolutely safe... So, you stay here and don't run around."
"ha?"
Ryan roughly knew which passages she was describing, and thought to himself: There are clearly danger warnings written on the rock walls.
Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to recognize the "Monkl ancient language".
Obviously, Canossa felt that this place was temporarily safe, and he had no intention of taking Ryan, a burden, to the dangerous underground palace to look for clues, so he said: "That 'tentacle monster' is very sensitive to human breath... You wait here for me, don't run around, I will go look for clues to open the door first..."
After Ryan looked at Canossa and said that, he looked eager to go look for clues alone.
After thinking about it, he said, "Wait a minute."
Canossa looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think you can take me to see the bronze door first."
Ryan's tone was a little complicated, and he said: "Perhaps, I can help..."
