Within the barrier, beside the river surrounding the city.
Boom!
A ball of fire exploded, and three figures flew out backwards.
Two of them flew out in the same direction, they were Chu Shisan and Lang Xing.
The other person who flew backwards alone was a young man.
But this man, at first glance, is not a human.
It has skin like tree bark and horn-like buds on its head.
"Mu Jianzi, you can't escape."
Lang Xing rolled backwards and landed steadily on the ground, holding the sword horizontally, saying: "It would be better for you to surrender and come back to the Demon Extermination House with us to be punished!"
At this time, he did not know that the monster was attacking the center of the formation.
"You want to catch me? Do you think you can do that?"
The man from the Mu Ling demon clan named Mu Jianzi had a look of disdain on his face.
However, although he said this, he was still quite taboo in his heart.
As he spoke, his left hand reached towards his right shoulder.
Grab the hard object and pull it hard.
Bang!
He threw a slingshot claw with a broken chain to the ground, and a look of luck and relief flashed in his eyes.
The one who really frightened him was the demon hunter - Chu Shisan.
This guy is really capable. He took advantage of the chaos of the explosion and used an instrument to grab his right scapula.
Although the demon race is physically stronger than humans, it also has an obvious shortcoming.
That is, if the scapula on both sides are pierced, the flow of demonic energy will be greatly restricted and all abilities will be blocked.
Fortunately, I was alert and only the right side of the pipa was locked, and it has been released now.
"Even if we don't catch you here, you'll still have to live a life of exile."
Thirteen met the other's eyes and said, "Trying to summon aliens from outer space is a big taboo for both humans and demons."
No matter what era it is, there will always be people who are dissatisfied with the world for various reasons.
Mu Jianzi is a typical representative of them.
"This world is decaying and about to start chaos. Don't you guys notice?"
When Mu Jianzi said this, the expressions of the two men changed slightly.
Ever since the battle with the aliens, the demon-hunting community has indeed sensed from various clues that the whole world is changing.
However, this change is progressing very slowly, and it is unclear whether it will be for the better or for the worse.
The final answer is not yet presented, so they don't know.
"Only with the help of the power of aliens can we reorganize and reshape this world!"
Mu Jianzi gradually showed signs of fanaticism.
"Your Mu Ling clan's Mu Jian lineage was once the most loyal follower of the Great Emperor Xinghe. Do you want to destroy the peaceful and prosperous era that it has guarded?"
Lang Xing's expression gradually became solemn.
"Hahahaha! What do you know? This is called a man of insight is a wise man!"
"I followed Xinghe Wuque in the beginning in order to bring glory to the Wooden Sword lineage. The purpose of welcoming the aliens now is the same!"
"You want to preserve the world, but I want to create it!"
"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together!"
Mu Jianzi said this as he rolled up his sleeves.
In fact, he came here tonight to meet the alien, and he was eager to get more information from the other party.
As a result, these two guys who interfered showed up before they even met. It was really abominable.
So it was to teach them a lesson, but also to get myself out of trouble and to get that alien out of trouble.
He knew he had to use some of his best tricks.
The arm that was exposed when the sleeves were rolled up was obviously different from the rest of the body.
Although it is also the surface of tree bark, the bark on the forearm is golden, and the wood grain is straight, and the pattern outlined looks like a sword.
"Sword Soul Wood! He implanted the Sword Soul Wood into his body!"
Lang Xing's pupils shrank.
It is said that in this world, there are many spirit powers scattered and wandering.
The Sword Soul Wood is a natural treasure that can attract and recruit sword souls and spirits and allow them to reside there.
A sword spirit is something that can only be born from an extremely powerful sword.
It is also said that the sword spirit is the most important soul of a sword.
Without the spirit, the sword dies.
If the sword dies but the spirit remains, then the sword is not considered dead.
If there really is a sword spirit residing in this sword soul wood, then its power cannot be underestimated.
"Do you know where Xinghe Wuque went after its owner disappeared?"
Seeing the two of them looking nervous, Mu Jianzi smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know either, but after you are killed by my sword spirit, maybe I'll have a chance to ask."
As he said this, he forcibly broke his right forearm with his left hand.
clang!
A sound like a sword leaving the body was heard, and a sword-shaped wooden core was held in his left hand.
Buzz!
Light emerged from the wooden core, forming a sword-like shape.
"Go all out, this sword spirit is very strong!"
Chu Shisan sensed the aura and said in a deep voice.
In fact, Lang Xing had already reacted without him saying anything.
He crushed the largest gem on the scabbard of his sword and scattered it into the sky.
Bang!
A small bright moon appeared, floating 10 meters above his head.
The moonlight was like a spotlight, the light condensed into a column and shone all over him.
“Mmmmm… Roar!”
Lang Xing's eyes suddenly turned red, his body suddenly swelled, and his silver hair became long and hard, covering his body like armor.
The Full Moon Transformation is the secret transformation method of his wolf demon lineage.
"Ancestors of the family, please lend me some strength. I will give you an extra roast chicken and a paper figurine when I come back to offer sacrifices to the ancestors."
Except for Thirteen, he took out a talisman from his bosom with two fingers and crumpled it into a ball.
He cast a magic spell to light the talisman, and then without caring about the burn, he threw it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
[Who is this evildoer who dares to endanger my descendants ! ]
The next second, his voice changed.
There was a tangible flame burning and emitting from the eye sockets.
"Haha, it's just a trivial trick."
Faced with the two men's ultimate skills, Mu Jianzi was not panicked.
With a wave of the one-handed sword, a large crescent-shaped sword energy flew towards them.
…
Boom!
The loud explosion made Shi Li, who was far away, stop and look unconsciously.
"The scale of this battle seems a bit large."
Shi Li was shocked again when he saw the crescent sword light rising into the sky.
Is it really possible for me to intervene in a battle of this level?
【Ahhh woof! 】
Just then, the Zombie Hound rushed out from a path.
"Um?"
A series of information was reported to Shi Li through mental transmission.
The information we got from the zombie dog was that it had discovered a special smell.
The reason why the smell is special is not that there is anything strange about it.
But this smell is consistent with one of the eleven smells found in the market that night!
In other words, there is a high possibility that there is still a guy inside this barrier tonight.
A guy who has clues to the origin of the monster they have been investigating!
So for a moment, Shi Li fell into a brief dilemma.
Should I go to Thirteen or follow the Mourning Dog?
If we get rid of Thirteen, what if the clue gets lost?
Go and follow the clues. What if Chu Shisan is dead?
He quickly made a decision on what was more important.
…
On the other side, a fierce battle broke out among three parties.
In just less than 3 minutes, the three of them fought fiercely.
Except for Thirteen, whose arm was hanging down, it looked like his hand was disabled.
Mu Jianzi was covered in blood and it seemed difficult for him to even stand. He was gasping for breath.
The worst-off was Lang Xing. He was leaning against a half-collapsed old wall. He had lost his ability to move and even lost one of his eyes.
Overall, the only ones left with fighting power are Shisan and Mu Jianzi.
Although Shisan's condition was terrible, it was obviously better than Mu Jianzi's.
“…”
At this moment, Mu Jianzi's eyes were full of gloom.
He was very unwilling.
If it is a simple 1V1, he is not afraid of either side.
If the other two less capable demon hunters had come, he would definitely have been able to kill them and escape unscathed.
But tonight, I happened to meet these two guys.
"Don't think that just because wood-type demonic energy has strong recovery ability, you can take your time to recover."
Chu Shisan seemed to have seen through his opponent's thoughts at this moment: "We have another companion who is on the way now."
"As for wanting to escape, that's impossible."
"Do you think I will let you escape successfully?"
He wiped the blue blood from his forehead and forced a confident smile.
"That means we have to fight to the death, right?"
Hearing this, Mu Jianzi's face turned grim.
But immediately, he looked at Chu Shisan deeply.
"Chu Shisan, I heard that you are well-known for your benevolence and chivalry among demon hunters."
"There was even one time when he killed his own apprentice in order to fulfill his so-called chivalrous duty."
He remembered a rumor he had heard before.
"What does it have to do with you? Are you asking me to let you go now?"
Upon hearing about the past that he didn't want to be mentioned, Thirteen's face was as gloomy as water.
"That's not the case. I just want to see which side you will choose between exorcising demons and saving people."
Mu Jianzi's smile looked sinister.
"I don't want this sword soul wood anymore."
"I'll give it to you."
As he said this, he threw the lightsaber in his hand.
clang!
The lightsaber automatically floated up and shot straight towards Lang Xing.
“Damn it!”
At this moment, Chu Shisan understood the other party's intention.
"Go... chase him, leave... me alone!"
Lang Xing spoke with difficulty, he didn't want to just watch the criminal leave.
"I have already given the Sword Soul Wood an order. It will continue to attack Wolf Walk until it is out of my mind range."
"It's up to you whether you want to protect him or pursue me."
Sure enough, after leaving these words, Mu Jianzi turned around and was about to leave.
As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a black stick that was infinitely magnified in his eyes.
Bang!
Before he could figure out what was going on, a stream of divine energy poured into his head.
Mu Jianzi, whose body was already at the end of his strength, could not withstand the push of this evil spirit. He fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
Plop!
That’s right, Shi Li’s final choice was to eliminate Thirteen first.
He quietly sneaked up behind the opponent and completed the sneak attack.
At this moment, Mu Jianzi's mind was lost, causing the sword spirit Mu to suddenly lose control.
Its light dimmed and it fell to the ground.
[How dare you, a despicable person, do such a despicable thing to me! Humph! ]
The sword spirit imprisoned in the Sword Soul Wood also took this opportunity to break free and fly into the sky.
"Forehead……"
It all happened so fast that no one except Thirteen could react until then.
"Well done, boy!"
It was Lang Xing, who was unable to move, who was the first to praise.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood: "Puff!"
Except for Thirteen, who hurried over to check on his condition, the situation was not optimistic.
After thinking about it, he took action.
First, he used an instrument to lock the unconscious Mu Jianzi's scapula, and then carried him on Lang Xing's back.
"You stay here and guard this guy. I'll carry him to Lao Qi for treatment."
"Remember, the guys from the Wood Spirit Tribe have many tricks up their sleeves, so try to avoid physical contact with them."
Even though he had locked the opponent's scapula, Chu Shisan still gave some warnings with some concern.
"Okay, go ahead."
Shi Li waved the iron rod to indicate that he understood.
Except for Shisan who left with Langxing, for a while only Shi Li and the Sangshou Dog were left on the field.
"You continue to look for the owner of that smell, and if you find it, follow it from a distance."
"I'll come find you when I'm done."
However, Shi Li did not forget another thing.
As a follower card, the Mourning Hound has a special telepathy with him and can communicate and sense his location at any time.
【Ahhh woof! 】
However, the hound had clearly received the order and was wagging its tail in circles around him, with no intention of leaving.
"Um?"
Shi Li understood what it meant through telepathy.
The owner of that breath is nearby!
【Roar...】xN
But before he could find the exact location, monsters appeared in the darkness.
With the help of the faint light from the blue light barrier above his head, he looked around.
Some walk on four legs, some crawl, some stand, and there are strange creatures that look like humans, animals, and so on.
"so much??"
He found himself surrounded.
There are actually more than a dozen of these monsters.
Without the help of Doraemon's magic and traps, this number is beyond my ability to deal with.
It felt like they were coming for Mu Jianzi, to save him.
"Then there's nothing we can do..."
Shi Li knew that only twenty days of training was not enough to achieve a qualitative improvement in his skills.
However, he still has a chance to use an equipment card.
If you are fighting a group attack, you do have a card in your hand that is more suitable for equipment.
[Fox Head Guardian]: Gain the power of vines
Buzz!
The card was equipped, and his body shape began to change.
A long fox tail stretched out, and the top of his head felt a little itchy. He reached out and touched it and found that his original ears were gone, replaced by a pair of fox ears.
All of a sudden, all the information about how to activate the power of vines flooded into his mind.
“It’s a bit simple.”
Shi Li pointed at a monster that looked like a wild boar but had horns on its head.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A large number of vines grew out from the ground and tied up the wild boar monster.
【Roar, roar, roar! 】
The vines were thin but very tough. The wild boar monster roared but was unable to break free.
Another finger pointed to the ground.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A long vine emerged from under his feet, climbed up the iron rod in his hand, and tied the end tightly.
He threw the iron stick version of the meteor hammer directly out.
Bang!
The four-legged bird monster that was hit was torn apart directly.
These low-level monsters have no ability to resist the fairy energy at all.
【Roar, roar, roar!】xN
The other monsters wanted to pounce, but with just a look from Shi Li, they were entangled by a large number of vines and fell to the ground.
With the help of the vine technique, he defeated all the monsters present with just a little effort.
"Is this the charm of magic? I love it."
"But the mental burden is a bit heavy."
He pressed his temple and felt severe pain.
Even my footsteps became a little light without me noticing.
There was no choice but to sit down and rest where he was.
Just as Shi Li sat down, he heard voices coming from the dark.
“I didn’t expect there is such a young demon slayer.”
"And he killed so many monsters by himself. I admire you."
A young man in fancy clothes clapped his hands and walked out of the dilapidated and run-down house.
The person who came was the Right Heart Faction intern, No. 285.
"?"
Shi Li didn't expect that there were other people inside the barrier, and judging from his intuition, he always felt that the other party was an enemy rather than a friend.
【Ahhh woof! 】
The beast-hunting dog next to them suddenly roared.
"Um?"
After receiving the information it conveyed, Shi Li realized that this was the owner of that breath.
At this time, he saw the other party walking towards Mu Jianzi, who was lying on the ground with his scapula locked.
"This guy is dangerous, you'd better stay away from him."
Not knowing the other party's intention, he opened his mouth to remind him.
"It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous."
Unexpectedly, No. 285 smiled and leaned over to touch it with an expression of love, saying: "The body of a spirit monster is an excellent fertile soil for monster species."
In fact, he is the person that Mu Jianzi had an appointment with.
From the moment the barrier appeared, he knew that the news of his appointment with Mu Jianzi had leaked.
However, he had the means to escape the barrier safely, so he was not in a hurry.
I hide in the dark and wait and see if there is any chance to make some money secretly.
Unexpectedly, he really waited for something. If he could get the body of Mu Jianzi, a member of the wood spirit demon clan, it would undoubtedly be the biggest gain.
Since he dares to show up now, it means he is confident.
A mere exhausted young demon hunter would not be his opponent.
"you……"
At this time, Shi Li had already determined that the person who came had bad intentions, and stood up again with the iron rod in hand.
[Stand there obediently, don't move]
A strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
There was a mysterious vortex spinning slightly in No. 285's eyes.
Then Shi Li found himself...really unable to move.
(What kind of trick is this, witchcraft?)
He was a little confused.
Just at this time, Chu Shisan had already settled the wolves and arrived.
"Who are you?! Don't hurt me...!"
Shi Li heard Chu Shisan's loud shout behind him.
Buzz!
As a result, just as Chu Shisan's voice sounded, a blue beam of light suddenly fell from the sky.
The blue light began to spread on the ground, turning into a card table pattern.
"Did PVE trigger?"
Shi Li's originally stiff body regained its freedom.
Looking back, I saw that Shisan was still fixed in the air, probably jumping.
The cards began to appear one by one, and this time the game seemed to be quite even, with both sides having 6+1.
But unlike previous PVEs, he found that the No. 285 on the opposite side was not frozen like the PVE monsters.
Instead, he was still looking at the empty tablet.
Then, the two of them looked into each other's eyes.
"Eh? Card player?" x2
The two said in unison.
