Xu Shen's face changed slightly. It seemed that these two had been waiting here for a long time. The attacks from outside were blocked by the Xu Realm. Although the destructive power of those attacks was amazing, they could not shake the matter inside the Xu Realm at all.
Perhaps, the real purpose of those attacks was to force them into the Xu Realm.
And in the ruins, an ambush had already been set up.
The two people in front of Xu Shen looked like a middle-aged man and a young man respectively. They were of the same height, with a strong physique and a fierce aura. While they were talking, their eyes were fixed on Xu Shen and they slowly approached him.
Unlike Xu Shen, they did not still carry weapons on their backs, but drew them out in advance, all of them were long swords.
Just from their weapons, it could be seen that they were not the people trained by the Secret Bureau to kill the ruins.
"Attack the Xumi Bureau. Do you know that we are an orthodox force? You are committing a crime!"
Xu Shen retreated while raising the flag.
"Oh, I'm looking for you." The young man sneered.
"Who cares whether you are orthodox or not if you die? As long as you are alive, you are orthodox!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly. His deep eye sockets made his triangular lines as cold as a poisonous snake. He suddenly rushed towards Xu Shen with a knife in his hand.
"Who are you?!" Xu Shen shouted in shock and anger.
"Go ask in hell!"
The middle-aged man suddenly drew his sword. His movements were extremely fast, and he was as nimble as a snake in the narrow cave. The sword light slashed down violently with whistling sounds.
You're dead... The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with murderous intent. At such a close distance, the guy in front of him had no time to draw his sword. It seemed that this new captain that the Ruins Secret Bureau was going to cultivate was indeed very young...
With a clang sound!
The sudden strong metallic sound made the middle-aged man's thoughts instantly shaken. His eyes narrowed as he felt the terrifying power coming from his arm, and a strong shock surged in his heart.
How is this power possible?!
Initial limit, no, it is above the limit...
puff!
The vibrating long sword was bounced back and tilted, and the next moment, the second sword light came slashing at a rapid speed, so fast that there was almost no gap!
Life and death are just a matter of moments!
The middle-aged man's head was cut off instantly, and the recoil of his long sword did not give him the chance to strike a second time, nor did he have time to defend himself.
His head fell off and his eyes widened, obviously unable to believe that he would die here.
"you!"
The young man who was just one step behind was stunned, looking at the shocking scene in front of him, a little confused.
It was too sudden. They were both at their limit, but they were killed instantly?!
Originally, they were two against one, so it should have been a safe situation...
"I'll ask you again, who are you?"
Xu Shen stared at the young man with cold eyes. At this moment, he was in a critical state. The speed at which the middle-aged man ran over made him realize that he was an opponent of extreme level. Therefore, he did not hold back at all and opened fire at full force in an instant!
This also led to him killing it with just two swords.
The whole process happens in just one second.
If nothing unexpected happens, he has already won most of the two-on-one battle.
"Have you activated the critical state like those captains?" The young man also realized Xu Shen's problem at this moment. He was shocked and angry in his heart, but he just looked gloomy. He restrained his inner fear and did not lose his momentum.
"Answer my question, and I can put away my sword first." Xu Shen said. He stepped closer, put the sword back behind him, and stepped over the middle-aged man's body.
The young man was slightly startled. Seeing Xu Shen's sincerity, he took a deep breath and said, "Whether you tell him or not, your director should know that we are from the Light Chasing Society!"
"……?"
Xu Shen was stunned.
There was a strange look on his face.
Chasing light...
"Then do you know me?" Xu Shen asked.
The young man sneered, but slowly stepped back: "Of course I know you, aren't you the lucky guy rescued by the Ruins Secret Bureau some time ago? You are a natural Ruins Power user, and your growth rate is indeed very fast. In a short period of time, you not only reached your limit, but also concealed the news that you have activated the critical state, hehe..."
Xu Shen looked at him silently and was now basically certain that the other party was lying.
The other party also has extreme power and is definitely a first-class consul in the Light Chasing Society.
His other superficial identity in the society is the second-class consul "Xu Yan". This information cannot be hidden from the top leaders of the society, unless it is from other powerful organizations.
"Then why did you attack us?" Xu Shen did not expose him, but continued to ask: "Do you want to assassinate the director?"
"Since you already know everything, why are you asking more questions?" The young man sneered.
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows. Seeing that the other party had no intention of telling the truth, he was too lazy to ask any more questions. Anyway, this was something the director would consider, provided that the director was safe now.
Thinking of this, Xu Shen didn't wait any longer and rushed towards the young man quickly.
The young man was well prepared. The moment Xu Shen rushed towards him, he turned around and ran away.
At this moment, Xu Shen's heart was in a critical state of charging. The energy in his body was flowing very fast, his strength increased dramatically, and the speed of the two was rapidly closing in.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the young man roared and suddenly turned around to attack back.
With such a sudden turning knife, he could only bet that Xu Shen would not have time to draw his sword.
puff!
The next moment, the sword light was as bright as snow, and the moment he turned around, it had already pierced into his chest.
It was like he turned around and faced his chest.
"impossible……"
The young man's throat seemed to be choked and blood oozed out of his mouth. He swung his long sword with his remaining strength with a ferocious look on his face, but his strength was no longer enough. Xu Shen quickly drew his sword and slashed again, cutting off his arm, and the long sword also fell.
Then there was another sword strike and the head flew out.
Xu Shen shook off the blood stains and put the sword back into the slot behind him.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Xu Shen suddenly felt that he was different now. Killing the captain-level extreme master with just a few swords was effortless.
"But, he just said that the other captains are also in critical state? Does that mean Captain Mu and Chu Bai usually hide their strength?"
Xu Shen's eyes flashed. He was definitely not the only smart person. Everyone else also had their own secrets and trump cards.
No wonder they still had doubts when they knew their own archival materials. After all, in their opinion, even if they reached their limits, they were still the weakest among them, not to mention their lack of experience.
"The director has Uncle Wang with him, so he should be fine..." Xu Shen was not in a hurry to look for Liu Jichuan, but bent down and searched the corpse.
At least it’s the limit, maybe there are some soldiers.
After some searching, Xu Shen actually found a piece.
It was a piece of white bone, like jade, emerging from the young man's chest.
Xu Shen looked at it and thought that the improvement of the combat power of the Ruins Soldier was not very obvious. Maybe it was a defensive function like the black skin? Or something else. In short, when the young man died, he didn't use it.
He didn't hesitate and absorbed the soldiers into his body.
As the soldiers infiltrated, Xu Shen suddenly felt the flesh-and-blood glove soldier hidden under his wrist, and he felt a wave of "hunger". That's right, he could actually feel the thoughts from the soldier.
It feels like the stomach is hungry, with a gurgling and slight burning sensation.
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he released the flesh and blood gloves. The gloves made of flesh and blood were trembling slightly, and the bubble-like blood film on the surface was breathing, and waves of burning sensation came.
As his palm was covered, Xu Shen also felt the blood in his body flowing out rapidly.
He transferred the bone into the flesh glove as well.
A strange scene happened. The breathing of the flesh and blood glove suddenly became rapid and swallowed the bones.
After swallowing the bone, the blood film on the flesh glove began to surge slightly, as if boiling inside. The feeling of hunger turned into joy, as if every cell in the palm of the hand was trembling with excitement.
After a while, the feeling gradually subsided, and the flesh and blood gloves looked more sticky and thick, with the blood film on it like semi-hardened plasma.
Xu Shen could clearly feel that the strength in his palms seemed to have increased a lot.
The increase brought by the Flesh and Blood Gloves has become even greater.
But at the same time, the blood-sucking characteristics become stronger.
As for that bone, it could no longer be sensed.
"The soldiers of Xu will absorb the soldiers of Xu... It's like Xu will eat Xu."
Xu Shen looked at the strange flesh and blood gloves and thought of all the knowledge related to Xubing. Xubing with similar characteristics would merge with each other, perhaps into new Xubing with completely new characteristics, or perhaps one of them would be the main one and the other would be the auxiliary one to complete a certain evolution.
There is no doubt that the characteristics of the bone are unexpectedly consistent with the flesh and blood gloves, so it is integrated into them and becomes nutrients.
Xu Shen returned and came to the middle-aged man.
When feeling around its body, I also found a weapon, a grayish-white tubular object, the size of a finger.
It is hollow in the middle, like bone material.
Xu Shen also absorbed it, but this time the stone tube was not fused with the flesh and blood gloves, nor did it interact with other soldiers in the body. Instead, it quietly floated in the body.
"The sound...attracts..."
Vague information was transmitted from this Xu soldier. Xu Shen had a rough idea of ​​its ability. When using Xu force to pass through the center of the tube, a sound would be made.
And this sound will attract people!
Although it is not a combat-type soldier, it has special effects.
"However, such Xu soldiers are useless to most people. After all, who would go looking for Xu for no reason..." Xu Shen's eyes flashed. But to the Light Chasing Society, this should be considered a very valuable thing. After all, they raise Xu soldiers themselves for sale, which means they need to take the initiative to hunt them.
Xu Shen continued to search the middle-aged man's body, but didn't find anything else valuable. He didn't delay any longer and could see the blurry reality through the ruins. There were still artillery bombardments outside, destroying all their vehicles. The smoke bombs obscured the scene, and even if he returned to reality, it was difficult to see other people.
Xu Shen recalled the locations of Mu Xue and Chu Bai, then walked along the passage carrying the ruins-breaking device and the cash box.
The passage was getting darker and darker. Xu Shen turned on the flashlight he carried with him and stuck it in the bandage on his arm so it would not affect his fighting.
Not long after walking forward, light footsteps were heard from the front.
Xu Shen stopped immediately and shone the flashlight in that direction, then he saw two beams of light coming towards him.
But the other party was extremely bold and approached quickly.
"Um?"
The two people on the other end were stunned when they saw Xu Shen.
Xu Shen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Mu Xue and Chu Bai. He went up to them and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Shouldn't we be the ones asking you this?" Mu Xue said. She looked Xu Shen up and down and saw that he didn't have any scars. She quickly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this guy was lucky and didn't encounter an ambush.
"Let's go find the director." Chu Bai said.
After the three of them met, they groped their way towards the passage next to them.
Not long after, they found the injured Meiya in another passage.
Although Miya was injured, the cash box was still there and there was a body left on the ground. It was obvious that the person who ambushed her paid the price with his life.
After the four of them met, they continued to look for the director.
Not long after, they saw Lao Wang and the director, and next to them was the young man named Xiaoye.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Liu Jichuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that everyone is fine. The attack outside has stopped. Let's go out first, lest these guys go crazy and attract Xu here."
Only a heartless person would think of such a thing...several people secretly complained in their hearts.
They all followed Lao Wang and the director back to reality.
The thick fog outside dissipated, and they appeared in the open space next to them, looking at the scrapped vehicles. At this moment, the bombing outside had stopped, and it was estimated that the enemy had retreated.
After all, if there is no way to deal with them in the Ruins Realm, launching these attacks would be a meaningless waste.
"It seems that these guys don't want you to complete this deal." Uncle Wang snorted.
Liu Jichuan nodded slightly, and glanced at the crowd. Seeing that the cash boxes in their hands were all there, a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay that the money is all there. These guys don't dare to really spend a lot of money. Now we are almost outside the wall, and we can't use the car. Let's walk."
"Director, do you know who these people are?" Chu Bai asked.
"Except for the few who have obtained the pass to go to Xudong, there should be no one else." Liu Jichuan said: "It doesn't matter who it is."
At this point, he glanced at Xu Shen, and seeing that the cash box was still in his hand, he asked, "You were also attacked? Are you okay?"
Mu Xue and Chu Bai were stunned and looked at Xu Shen.
Soon, they saw some bloodstains on Xu Shen's trouser legs.
I hadn’t noticed it before in the dim environment of the cave, but I didn’t expect the director to be so observant.
"I'm okay."
Seeing everyone's attention shifted to him, Xu Shen remained calm.
Liu Jichuan smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
Meiya and Xiaoye looked at Xu Shen silently without saying anything, but the indifference in their eyes had obviously diminished a bit, and it was obvious that they both recognized Xu Shen to some extent.
Although the previous attack was not particularly dangerous, Xu Shen, a newcomer who had just reached his limit, was able to handle it, which was considered a good performance.
What's more, the sight of blood showed that Xu Shen was at an advantage.
On the hillside in the distance.
The telescope showed the people below, and finally swayed on Xu Shen's body. The charming woman put away the telescope and said, "Those guys failed. Humph, they made such a grand show, but they were reluctant to send out the second form. Don't they want to give us an advantage for nothing?"
"Chief, what should we do now? Should we continue?" Big Lily asked immediately.
The charming woman sneered and said, "Of course not. This Director Liu brought him with him, which means that he can also get a share if the deal is successful. He is one of our future leaders. It doesn't matter if he gets it or we get it. As long as we can get more soldiers in the Ruins Cave, we can let those guys be jealous!"
Big Lily nodded slightly, secretly sighing in her heart that this guy was growing too fast.
…
…
Xu Shen and others followed Liu Jichuan and Uncle Wang and continued forward.
Along the overgrown railway tracks, there is a high-walled passage ahead.
The tunnel-like passage was blocked by huge rocks.
Liu Jichuan ordered Poxu to enter the ruins.
In the ruins, one can see that there is a crack on the blocked stone, like a dog hole, through which a person can crawl.
Xu Shen noticed that even when viewed from the ruins, the entire high wall was solid!
Not only does it block the view, but it is also impossible to pass through!
In addition, the blocking stones were almost all solid, and seemed to be made of the same material as the high walls.
"When the high wall passage was filled, someone left this fake stone on purpose to facilitate passage out of the city." Liu Jichuan said with a smile, "Now it has become a convenience for us."
He let Xiao Ye and Chu Bai lead the way, he and Uncle Wang were in the middle, third or fourth position, and Xu Shen and Mu Xue Meiya were the rear guard.
Everyone crawled out through the gap.
This gap is a stone, but unlike the special stones in the high wall, it is illusory and can be passed through.
"I heard that the person who left this stone was very powerful and influential in our Dicheng more than two hundred years ago. Unfortunately, he offended the wrong people later on, and his descendants were all dissolute and useless. They have already died now, and don't even know about the precious passage left by their ancestors." Uncle Wang said.
Liu Jichuan smiled and said, "Even if I knew, without the cover of the second form, I would die if I went out, unless I exchange my life for luck."
After crawling through the high wall for a full minute, everyone finally passed through the wall and came outside.
Xu Shenmo counted the distance and found that the thickness of the wall was at least 30 meters.
This is the thickness...
It’s almost like a hill!
It’s hard to imagine how much engineering work this involves.
After crawling out of the cave, Xu Shen's expression suddenly changed.
The environment outside the wall was a vast plain, but at this moment, on this plain, there were seven or eight twisted and extremely burly figures standing.
Like humans, but more like Xu.
The only thing in common is that these figures look like mummies and look hideous as if they had been burned by fire.
They stood quietly, like scarecrows on a farm.
But with the slight noise caused by the arrival of the crowd, the two closest to them slowly turned their heads and looked over.
"Back to reality."
Liu Jichuan said quickly in a low voice.
Everyone quickly gathered their strength and descended into reality.
Outside the real wall, there was thick fog, and people could only see more than ten meters away.
Soon, a ferocious figure appeared in front of everyone.
It was one of the figures that just turned its head.
Its body was three meters tall, with its arms hanging to the ground. A strange mouth was cracked in its abdomen, and the inside was empty and dark.
It stood quietly, as if watching everyone.
"killed."
Yanagizumi said.
Uncle Wang rushed out first and slashed down with his machete.
And the moment Uncle Wang approached, this thing suddenly twisted its body, and its movements went from static to dynamic with great agility.
But Uncle Wang was faster. He chopped the opponent's arm with his machete, cutting it off directly, and smashed his body to the ground.
Everyone witnessed the terrifying power of this second form.
