The First Mist Chapter 129: Killing before Return
In addition to the original perception enhancement, the mask also incorporates a new effect that can invade through the eyes of the ruins. If the enemy's consciousness is weak, they will be deeply trapped in the illusion constructed by Xu Shen.
If the enemy is stronger, there will also be interference from trance.
There is no doubt that this is equivalent to giving Xu Shen an extra spiritual helper.
"He didn't use the invading ability of the blood-colored sphere before. Was it because he considered that I killed Mo Haiming and had the power to target psychic abilities, so he chose to keep it..." Xu Shen's eyes flashed slightly. If it were someone else, Mo Qinghao would have a great chance of winning if he used the previous blood-colored sphere to attack the soldiers.
In addition to this new ability, the original perception increase is also higher than before.
If the previous increase was nearly double, now it is 1.5 times.
Don't underestimate a mere 0.5-fold increase, the actual strength it brings is a qualitative change. Just like the difference between a sniper rifle and a specially modified sniper rifle, the power increase is less than 0.5 times, only about one-third, but the difference in effect is overwhelming!
"Sister Li's mask saved me twice..."
Xu Shen touched the mask and thought of Sister Li, who he saw in the research institute, so dashing.
The last time he encountered the inner city team, it was also with the help of the mask that he was able to delay until he had the opportunity to find the location of the B-level ruins.
Otherwise he would be killed halfway.
He didn't know how to cherish it before, but now he understands how precious this mask is. It can be said to be one of the most important trump cards he currently has.
"They all mentioned the Jiang family when they saw this mask. If everyone in the inner city knows it, could it be one of the high-ranking families? Sister Li was also from the inner city... Then did she leave the research institute and return to the Jiang family..."
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed inwardly, wondering if he would have the chance to see Sister Li again and repay her kindness.
Shaking his head, Xu Shen leaned against a boulder to rest.
In the previous fierce battle, especially in the last moments, in order to deal with the gunfire and killing of Mo Qinghao, all the power in his body was released and it was almost exhausted.
As the ancient corpse wandered away, only large stains of blood and some broken limbs were left on the ground.
Xu Shen used the evolved black blood to cover up his breath and returned along the way to look for Mo Jian and other bodies that were shot.
Not long after, Xu Shen found the place where Mo Jian was sniped.
There was an ancient corpse wandering here, gnawing on Mo Jian's body. Xu Shen could only watch from the side. Although this ancient corpse was C-level, it was difficult for him to hunt it down given his current condition.
After recovering some of his strength, Xu Shen took action to deal with the ancient corpse. He found a piece of white bone from the ancient corpse, and found three weapons from Mo Jian's body.
Xu Shen merged into his body, and his white bones showed signs of fusion with other Xu soldiers.
Xu Shen chose to integrate it into the mask.
Soon, Xu Shen felt that the perception enhancement brought by the mask had increased slightly, and the feeling of an additional four or five meters was equivalent to an increase of 0.05 times.
"This bone soldier seems to be the lowest level soldier. It has no effect, but it can be integrated into any soldier. It is just the nutrient of the soldier. Or is it a soldier that failed to condense?"
Xu Shen integrated Mo Jian's Xu Bing into his body again. One of the Xu Bing actually reacted to the black blood again. Xu Shen immediately merged them again.
The second fusion of black blood, in addition to the effects of concealing the breath and sucking blood, also added a distortion effect.
When black blood condenses, it can cause certain limbs to become deformed, enlarged or twisted.
This effect is rather useless to Xu Shen, as he cannot think of where it can be used.
However, the integration of Xubing has slightly improved the original effects, making the concealed aura more subtle.
Xu Shen dealt with Mo Jian's body, and then returned to find the location of the bodies marked by the two original corpses. He attracted ancient corpses nearby, ate and digested their bodies, and disguised it as if he had died from the ancient corpses.
Even if people find out that the person did not really die from the ancient corpse, the scene can be covered up so that people cannot infer how he was killed.
After dealing with most of their bodies, Xu Shen counted all the soldiers he had obtained, and found that the number reached a staggering 34!
Mo Qinghao alone provided 5 items, and the other four second-formers provided 11 items in total!
The remaining 18 items were the weapons found on other subordinates and those they hunted along the way.
Xu Shen sighed a little. Even if he hunted an A-level Xu, he would not get such a reward. Moreover, the difficulty of hunting an A-level Xu was no different from committing suicide for him.
The five missions of the Light Chasing Society can be completed by killing Mo Qinghao alone.
However, Xu Shen obviously could not hand over these soldiers. If the Mohist School investigated, and their soldiers happened to have records of their information, it would inevitably become a loophole.
Xu Shen could only hunt from the ancient corpse again.
Except for the blood-colored sphere absorbed by Xu Shen, the other Xu soldiers hunted by Mo Qinghao and his team before were mixed together and could not be distinguished.
"Five from the Light Chasing Society. As for the ones from the bureau, even though the director didn't ask for it, I'll need at least three. After all, the director treats me well..." Xu Shen's eyes flashed, which meant that he needed to hunt down at least eight more Xu Bing.
If you hunt what you need, you have to continue hunting.
However, since it is a rare opportunity to come to Xudong, the more the better. 8 items are just the minimum.
Xu Shen immediately arranged all the remaining soldiers, called for the anchor point, and placed the soldiers into the anchor point in the fog.
After dealing with the stolen goods, Xu Shen used black blood to cover up his breath and walked in the dark ruins.
There are only rocks all around, no plants at all.
…
…
At the place where Mo Qinghao and others were buried, the rubble was stained with blood.
"The smell of blood is over there."
A group of people slowly groped their way here following the smell of blood and approached cautiously. Soon, when the smell of blood became stronger, they also saw the tragic scene on the ground.
The blood all over the ground was obviously not the area that could be caused by one or two people.
"This..." The group of people were shocked when they saw this scene. They thought they could take advantage of the situation or launch a sneak attack, but it turned out that everyone had been killed at the source.
"Look, that armor..." someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Everyone looked and saw a purple suit of armor stuck in a crevice.
They were deeply impressed by this noble purple color. Isn’t this Mohism?
Could it be that the people who were attacked were from the Mohist school? !
The group of people looked at each other. The leader hesitated for a moment, but decided to approach carefully and see what happened next.
When they came to the bloodstone, they also saw a lot of broken limbs scattered in the rubble. Some were already very broken, with gnawed fingers, hair, broken organs, etc.
Obviously, this place has experienced the baptism of hell.
They couldn't imagine what kind of monster such a powerful Mohist school encountered.
"Look, there's a sniper rifle over there!"
"We also have a rapid-fire Ruin-Breaking Gun here!"
Soon, someone noticed that in addition to armor and other combat uniforms, there were also some remaining weapons.
Seeing the sniper rifles and rapid-fire ruins-breaking rifles everywhere, their eyes lit up. Obviously, the monsters that killed them only ate their bodies, but did not understand that guns were the most valuable.
"If there are guns, that means there are also... soldiers!"
The leader's eyes lit up and he whispered, "Quick, collect all the guns."
Everyone's eyes were eager, but a short young man in the team whispered, "Brother Nie, I remember that Master Mo Qi had a sniper rifle. Did something happen to him?"
"Who cares? This is a sniper rifle!" someone said impatiently.
The middle-aged leader's face changed slightly, and he hurried to the sniper rifle to check. Soon, he noticed that there was a long knife stuck in the rocks among the broken meat residue on the ground.
He had a deep impression of the long sword. It was this sword that Master Mo Qi had used to chop down their people.
Although other members of the Mo family also have swords, the handle of Master Mo Qi is different and can be identified at a glance.
The weapons were gone, and the meat scraps on the ground... Nie You was horrified and trembling. Was the arrogant and cruel Master Mo Qi dead? Could the meat scraps on the ground be his body? !
"No, you can't touch it!"
Nie You hurriedly stopped the people who were trying to pick up the guns.
"Brother Nie?"
"Master Mo Qi is dead, the Mo family will definitely track him down. If we take guns, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we go out. Quick, drop your guns!" As Nie You spoke, he saw someone had already picked up the rapid-fire ruin-breaking rifle on the ground, and hurriedly gave an order.
The man was stunned, holding it in his hand, with a look of struggle on his face: "Brother Nie, they are all dead, it would be a waste if we don't take this thing!"
"We can hide it in our clothes and take it out secretly."
"Right, they can't search them all, can they?"
"This gun can be disassembled. We can take it apart into parts and reassemble it later."
Several people were obviously reluctant to leave. They thought it would be stupid to not want the free things given to them after having come here for a rare trip.
"Shut up!" Nie You said angrily, "This is a hot potato. If we are found to be related to them, the Mo family will not listen to our explanation!"
"Brother Nie, you are too careful."
"Shut up!"
Nie You said angrily: "Leave them all behind and leave quickly. Although has only been two or three hours at most. The ancient corpse that killed them may still be nearby. Be careful!"
Seeing that he was angry, everyone was reluctant but had no choice but to give up.
However, there were a large number of them, about 20 to 30. When Nie You didn't notice, a few people at the outermost edge exchanged glances, used their bodies to block each other, and secretly picked up the things on the ground and hid them...
…
…
After they left, several hours later, several more people groped over following the smell of blood.
Seeing the tragic scene and the fallen guns, their eyes lit up and they took the sniper rifle from inside.
All things come to life when a whale falls. Every once in a while, someone comes here. Some take something away, while others realize something and leave in a hurry.
Another place.
Xu Shen was also hunting in the dark ruins.
As the Xu force gradually grew and recovered from the internal organs, Xu Shen's speed was also increasing.
"4 items..." Xu Shen had hunted seven or eight ancient corpses and harvested 4 ancient weapons.
Unfortunately , Xu Bing did not react to the mask and gloves inside his body.
As Xu Shen was groping forward, suddenly, a sound of footsteps was heard in the darkness, approaching at a very fast speed.
Xu Shen's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately called for the anchor point and put the sniper rifle into it.
Then a mask appeared on his face and he stared at the direction of the footsteps.
Soon, three or five figures appeared in front of me, running hurriedly.
"Um?"
Xu Shen saw the figure leading the group and felt that it was quite familiar. It was Yue Ling from the Sleepless Zone whom he met when he was burying the corpse before.
Xu Shen's figure was half hidden behind a huge rock, and Yue Ling did not see him. She was accompanied by four Zhanxu men, all of whom had minor injuries all over their bodies and were fleeing behind Yue Ling.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
A young man behind Yue Ling was shot in the shoulder, and the impact caused him to lose balance and fall to the ground.
The two people next to him hurriedly supported him, but the other person continued to run forward.
Yue Ling stopped, and the person who was still running also stopped, with an anxious look on his face. He wanted to urge her but didn't dare to.
"quick!"
Yue Ling said hurriedly.
Her silver-white soft armor looked delicate and beautiful, but it was also stained with blood.
Xu Shen remembered that there was no blood splattered on the ancient corpse.
During this hurried delay, another burst of gunfire came. Yue Ling hurriedly pulled up a few people behind her and hid behind another big rock.
She looked around and immediately saw Xu Shen, who was also standing behind a big rock not far away.
Yue Ling: “…”
Xu Shen: “…”
The two looked at each other, Xu Shen was speechless.
“What a coincidence.”
Xu Shen coughed lightly, said hello, and then turned to leave.
"help me!"
Yue Ling reacted and said hurriedly: "It's the guys from the Free Zone Police Station. They have two rapid-fire ruin-breaking guns!"
Xu Shen stopped helplessly and said, "I can't block this kind of gun either."
"I know."
Yue Ling said quickly: "I can protect you. When they get close, you can help me hold them back. I will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards!"
"Lord Yue, who is he?" The ruins killer who was eager to escape couldn't help but look at Xu Shen. He looked very young, perhaps a few years younger than Yue Ling. Would such a ruins killer be useful?
As far as he knew, Yue Ling was the youngest person in charge of District 6.
"Too dangerous." Xu Shen shook his head.
Yue Ling ignored the captain of the Wumian District Zhanxu beside her and said through gritted teeth: "Or you can show up for a while and cooperate with me to scare them and prevent them from continuing to pursue us."
"How to shock?" Xu Shen asked.
"Show the power of your second form and let them realize that we also have two second forms here. Then they won't be so desperate!" Yue Ling said.
"Is he in his second form?"
The man who was eager to escape was stunned and looked at Xu Shen in surprise.
The other three also looked at Xu Shen in shock. Judging from Xu Shen’s combat uniform, he was obviously also a member of the Xu Secret Bureau, but they had never heard of such a young second form!
"A piece of Xu Bing!"
Seeing Xu Shen still hesitating, Yue Ling gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you a Xu Bing as a reward!"
Xu Shen hesitated and said, "Okay, but what if I can't scare them away?"
"They will definitely give up. After all, they don't want to force me." Yue Ling gritted her teeth.
Xu Shen couldn't help but look at her. What can you do if I force you into a corner?
Although he thought about it, Xu Shen didn't say it out loud. Besides, this was not a difficult thing for him, and he could get a Xu soldier for free.
Although he was confident that he could deal with their pursuers, including Yue Ling in front of him, there was no need. First of all, he had no grudge against Yue Ling. As for killing the pursuers, it would expose many of his cards. Now that Mo Jia was dead, if he showed too much amazing power, it would inevitably attract a lot of attention.
"Don't come over here again!"
Seeing Xu Shen's agreement, Yue Ling hid behind a rock and shot with her rapid-fire Ruins Breaking Gun while gritting her teeth and saying, "We got that thing. Do you really want to fight us to the death, Tang Rui?"
"Everything in this world is ownerless. We are all temporary owners. You'd better hand it over!" A middle-aged voice came from behind with a cold tone.
"Then let's try it!" Yue Ling said angrily.
She handed the gun in her hand to another person beside her, instead of giving it to the captain who was in a hurry to run. Apparently, she had noticed the previous details and was worried that the other party would run away with the gun.
"Cover me." Yue Ling ordered, then glanced at Xu Shen and rushed out from behind the rock.
Seeing this, Xu Shen had no choice but to follow.
Bang!
As soon as Yue Ling appeared, bullets came pouring in.
Yue Ling's figure was agile, like a clever moon fox, dodging the rain of bullets and angrily said, "Fight head-on if you can!"
"Oh, one against two, are you sure?"
Two people walked out of the shadows, one middle-aged and the other in his early thirties.
"It's two against two now." Xu Shen walked out.
"Um?"
When they saw Xu Shen hiding behind another rock, they were both surprised. They obviously didn't expect that there was someone else hiding there.
If Xu Shen launched a sneak attack, most of them would probably be hit.
"Second form?" Tang Rui stared at Xu Shen and saw the combat uniform he wore. "Are you from the Black Light Branch?"
Xu Shen nodded, "Two against two, you have no chance of winning, so you should just leave."
"You're leaving right now?"
The young man in his early thirties next to him sneered and said, "Except for that old man Wang, I have never heard of any other second forms in the Black Light Branch. You are not Chu Bai. I heard that the other captains are not as young as you. You dare to pretend to be the second form in the first form? You are courting death!"
"You deal with him, I'll hold her back first." Tang Rui next to him ordered, staring at Xu Shen, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and said: "Be careful, don't be careless, maybe it's true."
"I will." As the young man spoke, he rushed out and approached rapidly.
"Be careful!" Yue Ling said hurriedly.
puff!
Xu Shen could only draw his sword. Even though it was a broken sword, it was still sharp. He just needed to take half a step forward to ensure that the broken sword could just hurt the opponent.
The young man's neck was brushed by the sword, and he was a little stunned, with the world spinning in front of his eyes.
