Chapter 310 It's too late
Hundreds and thousands of bloody fragments, shining brightly, looked like falling red butterflies.
Before these fragments fell to the ground, energy began to dissipate, strands by strands, giving the valley a layer of hazy blood light, as if it were a deep and unclear dream.
Even the gravel and dead branches on the ground were stained with a blood-red halo.
This was a sign of Fan Lu's energy collapse. Severely injured, he was no longer able to control these fragments and could only let them dissipate.
"You...I..."
Fan Lu’s face was pale, and his blood-stained body slowly emerged from the darkness.
On his chest, there was a bloody hole the size of a bowl, which was transparent from front to back. The hole on his back was only the size of a thumb, and the flesh and bones in the middle had been blown to pieces.
He turned his head with difficulty, looked up at the height of the valley opposite, looked at the direction where the bullet came from, and finally saw the sniper rifle hidden in the darkness.
"How...how could this happen?"
He didn't understand how there could be such a powerful weapon that shattered his psychic shield with one shot and left him seriously injured and dying.
Is this also a new weapon developed by Anluo Company?
Or...
Did the Masked Monster develop it himself?
In Fan Lu's memory, this kind of weapon does not .
Also, how did the masked man see his true identity?
“Gurgle…Gurgle…”
Fan Lu tremblingly took out a healing potion and downed it in one gulp. His face became a little more rosy, but the injury on his chest did not improve at all.
He was not fighting for his life, but just to hold on for a few more sentences.
With Su Xia around, he would not be able to survive today.
Everything happened so fast. He was planning to kill Su Xia the moment before, but now he was seriously injured and dying.
At this time, Su Xia ignored the seriously injured Fan Lu, but moved his eyes to see another dark and deep area, and said lightly: "Come out."
"you……"
The level 4 creature knew he could no longer hide, and Su Xia's gaze cut into his face like a knife.
He was holding a dagger, his face not looking good, he slowly emerged from the darkness and asked, "Masked Stranger, do you have two psychic talents?"
"What do you think?" Su Xia asked instead of answering.
"Your ability to control metal, and your eyes..."
As he spoke, he looked directly into Su Xia's eyes, trying to see something unusual in those deep eyes.
He thought to himself that his invisibility ability was very strong and it was impossible for ordinary creatures to see through him.
Moreover, Fan Lu also hid his true identity through illusion, but he was still seen through by Su Xia and was shot.
In fact, Su Xia was just wearing the [Life Perception Glasses] obtained from the previous mission. This creation in the starry sky has a crushing effect on the creatures on this planet.
The fourth-level creature was silent for a moment, then said, "You are extremely lucky to have awakened two talents... You are much stronger than I thought, and it is not unfair that you got defeated this time."
"I can see that you still have doubts in your mind."
"yes……"
The man looked at the seriously injured Fan Lu again, remained alert, and slowly moved over.
As he walked, he asked, "Do you have someone inside the tavern? Who betrayed you about our operation? Yi Yi?"
Su Xia shook her head: "I can't tell you, just guess."
He said, "To you, Boss Fan and I are both doomed to die. Why don't you let us be the ones who know the truth?"
"Well, I'm not interested."
“…”
The man fell silent again and moved to Fan Lu's side.
Fan Lu looked extremely miserable at this moment. He was lying on the edge of a huge rock, bleeding profusely and breathing weakly. He didn't look like a level 5 creature at all.
The bullet just now not only exploded his chest, but also shattered a part of his spine. It was already very good that he could still move now.
“Huh…huh…”
Fan Lu's body was trembling as he tried hard to breathe in air. His shattered lungs contracted like a rotten bellows, and with every contraction, a stream of bloody, sticky bubbles emerged.
Such a person can be described as a corpse.
He reluctantly raised his hand again and drank a healing potion.
The potion flowed down his esophagus from his mouth, but most of his esophagus had already been shattered and riddled with holes. One could even see the healing potion overflowing from the torn esophagus through the bloody hole in his chest.
"Boss Fan, don't move. Let me do it." The fourth-level creature sighed, took out the healing potion he had with him, and injected it all into Fan Lu, barely keeping him alive.
With the dual help of oral medication and acupuncture, Fan Lu felt a little better and regained some strength to speak.
He leaned against the boulder, stared at Su Xia and said, "You... Masked Stranger, this is not the battle I imagined..."
"This is also a battle." Su Xia replied calmly, "What do you think this battle should be like? You use all your abilities, and I use mine, to have a showdown between metal and illusion?"
"you……"
"I prefer a more practical fight. To put it simply, the means justify the means."
Su Xia raised his hand, and the God-killing Gun slowly flew over from the top of the valley on the other side and landed in his hand.
The power of this gun was indeed impressive, and it destroyed Fan Lu with just one shot.
This was the decisive shot.
The whole process was exactly the same as Su Xia had calculated before.
Because the energy of the explosion was too dispersed, Fan Lu had a way to survive the explosion, so this shot was extremely critical.
"You, you are already a level five creature?" Fan Lu caught Su Xia's psychic energy fluctuations, his face turned pale, and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Um."
Su Xia nodded, wiped the scope of the sniper rifle, and continued: "So, if it is a head-on battle, you will die as well."
Fan Lu spat out a mouthful of blood, still unwilling to accept it, and said with difficulty: "Not necessarily, if it wasn't for your sneak attack..."
"We are all registered killers, so don't talk about sneak attacks. Have you never sneak attacked anyone?"
Su Xia interrupted him and said, "My current target is Moser. Killing you is just a matter of convenience. I was there during the whole battle between you and Moser. You are really not good enough."
"You...you were there the whole time..."
Fan Lu's body trembled violently, and he seemed to want to stand up, but he was too weak and gave up.
The battle of that day began to emerge in his mind, from the beginning to the end. The unfamiliar faces of the onlookers flashed by, but there was no face like Su Xia, not even one with a similar temperament.
The Su Xia in front of him was a cold, ruthless, calculating high-level killer, who seemed to have an aura filled with death.
Next to him, the Level 4 creature also sat down with a dagger hanging down, and sighed: "So, the countdown to death has already started the moment we arrived in Coral City."
From beginning to end, their actions were under the watchful eyes of the masked man.
The terror of this opponent is really chilling.
He was like a ghost, silent and omnipresent, quietly waiting for the right opportunity, and once the opportunity came, he would launch a fatal attack.
He laughed at himself: "Everyone thinks you, the masked weirdo, are prey. They think you are scared and hiding. They all come from all over the world to hunt you down... I didn't expect that they are the real prey..."
"Anything else you want to say?" Su Xia looked at the two of them indifferently.
"Yes, your true identity... who are you?"
"You will know." Su Xia did not explain for the time being, and asked back: "How did you avoid the explosion just now?"
Even Fan Lu was seriously injured in the series of explosions just now, and he managed to survive only by using all means possible.
However, this driver was only a level 4 creature, but he was intact.
This is the only point that Su Xia is confused about.
"My talent. I have two talents just like you."
The driver replied: "The first talent allows me to achieve near-invisibility in the dark, and the second talent allows me to flash hundreds of meters away in an instant."
"Flash?"
Su Xia repeated the word and became interested.
The man nodded and said, "It's a high-level talent, very rare. It's like carving out two points in space that can be connected, or like folding up the entire space in an instant. I can't understand it, so I can only use it. I can use it once a day."
"I see."
Psychic talent, the most mysterious ability in this world, has not yet been thoroughly studied.
Hal said that in the starry sky, there are also a large number of research institutions studying the power brought by this energy, trying to come up with a scientific system of growth path.
At this time, Fan Lu raised his hand with difficulty, tremblingly pointed at the sniper rifle in Su Xia's hand, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and then asked: "This gun... is it a product of Anluo Company?"
"They probably don't have that ability." Su Xia shook his head. This kind of creation of star technology is not something that this planet can understand.
"Could it be the mechanical race?"
"I am an enemy of the Mechanical Clan." Su Xia replied calmly, "With your intelligence, you should be able to guess the origin of this gun."
"It's... it's... outside this world..."
Fan Lu's eyes were bulging and bloodshot, as if he was about to die. His tattered lungs contracted rapidly, barely allowing him to finish these last few words.
He did guess it, the legendary creation of the starry sky.
“To be honest…”
Fan Lu was like a deflated ball, his trembling hands collapsed, and he had nothing to say after dying from such a weapon.
The masked monsters holding these weapons, just like the mechanical race in the past, have an overwhelming advantage over all the creatures on the entire planet.
Just as the driver said just now, death was inevitable the moment they arrived in Coral City.
But at this time, Su Xia suddenly said: "I am a kind person, not a bloodthirsty person. After you come to Coral City, if you investigate carefully, you will not bring disaster upon yourself."
“…”
The driver looked at Su Xia with a complicated expression, opened his mouth, but quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
It's a huge joke that the masked man said he has a kind heart.
Su Xia continued, "Your investigation methods are not good. It makes me very uncomfortable."
"Those two girls?" The driver thought of the key to the problem. "Their spirits were shocked and they became demented. It was indeed our fault, but... even Boss Fan can't solve their mental problems. Even if you kill us, they can't return to normal."
"With the means of this planet, it is indeed not possible."
"It seems you have an idea."
"Um."
As he was speaking, Su Xia glanced into the bloody valley and saw two breaths of life disappearing one after another from his perception.
The two men died after all. Before they died, they did not see Fan Lu avenge them. Instead, they saw the scene of Fan Lu being shot to pieces. They probably died in pain and despair.
At this point, of the entire Fanlu team, only he and the driver were still alive.
The driver had given up resistance and just asked, "Can you tell me what the solution is? All the creatures that were hit by Boss Fan's mental shock before have never recovered."
"A medicine." Su Xia said bluntly.
"High-level potion?"
"Yes, a fourth-level potion that has never been recorded." Su Xia nodded slightly, "The materials are precious, and it is difficult to refine. It may be comparable to a fifth-level potion."
"Then don't you need to invite a master of medicine?"
"Why bother?"
Su Xia suddenly smiled, with a meaningful tone.
Hearing this, the driver was stunned and didn't react for the time being.
But Fan Lu next to him was shocked as if struck by lightning. He raised his head with his last bit of strength and stared at Su Xia.
"You...it's you...it's you..."
"It's me."
"How is it possible... Undead, Undead..."
Fan Lu's voice became weaker and weaker, blood bubbles came out of his mouth, and the contraction of his rotten lungs gradually became smaller and smaller, until finally he could only make some weak breathing sounds.
When he was about to die, he finally knew Su Xia's identity.
In a complex mood of shock and disbelief, the world in front of his eyes gradually darkened, and Su Xia's figure began to blur, gradually overlapping with another figure.
That pharmacist, that little bug that he could easily crush to death, that undead who was protected by Yu Tuo so that he could watch the battle at the edge of the ruins, was actually the masked stranger he had been looking for.
But how could the undead be a masked monster?
How long have the undead been in this world?
The masked man is already a level five creature, how did he do it?
He was hiding in Coral City, what was he planning to do with his identity as a pharmacist?
All kinds of questions flashed through Fan Lu's mind, but he had no time to think.
This level 5 creature, who had been strong all his life and a senior member of the tavern, died on this cold night. The howling cold wind took away his last breath.
After Fan Lu died, the driver beside him looked sad.
Through Fan Lu's last words before his death, he also guessed Su Xia's identity, and lowered his head and said to himself: "It seems that only the dead have the right to know the truth."
"Um."
Su Xia's face was indifferent. He took out a gun and put it against the man's head.
A moment later, a sharp gunshot rang out in the quiet valley, blood splattered, and a body fell. The gunshot echoed for a long time in the night, and it slowly disappeared after a long time.
And Su Xia's figure had disappeared, as if she had never appeared.
The cold wind still blew in the valley, carrying the smell of blood, and broken grass leaves were flying in the wind.
Time passed like the wind, and several hours went by in a flash.
Gradually, as dawn approached, a bright light appeared on the horizon.
“Tick-tock…tick-tock…”
Raindrops fell from the sky, fine and dense, moistening the dry earth.
The blood left behind in the middle of the night has dried up and turned dark brown. Under the washing of rain, it has gradually merged with the silt in the valley and turned into nutrients for the growth of flowers and plants in the next year.
“Crack!”
A broken branch was suddenly stepped on, and the surrounding weeds were also stepped into the mud.
Someone came and walked forward on the muddy ground.
Several people in black robes walked into the valley, holding black umbrellas, taking in the entire valley.
On their fluttering robes were printed the logo that belonged exclusively to the Zero Point Tavern.
Seeing the horrific pits and shocking bloody corpses in the valley, several people's pupils shrank slightly and their faces became extremely solemn.
"I'm a step too late."
