Xu Shen was a little surprised. He looked at the fallen head. He was dead already?
He did not use the mask and gloves, but only relied on his own strength. Unexpectedly, he killed the man directly.
Tang Rui and Yue Ling, who were about to take action, were also shocked.
Just as they were about to look away, they saw this horrifying scene.
The originally tense offensive was paused, and everyone else was stunned.
Xu Shen reacted and hurriedly held onto the wall. His face was pale and he looked extremely weak, but he soon stood firm again, gasping for breath, as if trying hard to stay calm.
Yue Ling came back to her senses, joy showed in her eyes, and she rushed towards Tang Rui in a hurry.
Tang Rui's face suddenly changed and he quickly turned around and retreated. Before leaving, he looked at Xu Shen deeply and obviously remembered the face of this young man.
Yue Ling did not pursue further. She could see that Xu Shen was not in good condition and the previous attack seemed to have exhausted Xu Shen's strength.
After driving Tang Rui and the others away, Yue Ling returned to Xu Shen. Seeing Xu Shen's face still a little pale, she asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's a small matter." Xu Shen looked relaxed and said nonchalantly.
The more Xu Shen behaved like this, the more Yue Ling felt that Xu Shen was just forcing himself. She asked curiously, "How did you do it? This is the second form. Although it was only recently broken through, you killed him instantly. This is a bit too exaggerated."
"I didn't expect him to be so weak..." Xu Shen looked indifferent, but he was actually complaining in his heart. What he said was true. He really didn't expect that this young man would not be able to escape.
After all, it was the second form, and Xu Shen did not dare to hold back without using the Xu soldiers.
Otherwise it is not disguise, but underestimation of the enemy.
He has seen the consequences of underestimating the enemy many times.
"..." Yue Ling was speechless. Weak? How could the second form be weak? However, it was obvious that the young man was careless. She had fought with him before. He was a manipulator who could control rock layers and sand and shuttle through walls. He was a very tricky manipulator, but he didn't protect his head just now.
This is underestimating the enemy.
However, he probably didn't expect Xu Shen's sword speed to be so fast. Obviously, Xu Shen seemed to have some kind of ability of strong attack.
Or maybe it's some kind of special ability, with extraordinary speed, some kind of terrifying outburst or inexplicable mental interference.
No matter what, Xu Shen's performance was enough to make Yue Ling take him seriously. Even though it seemed that Xu Shen's attack put a huge burden on himself , it was still terrifying that he could kill a second-state cultivator with all his strength.
"Thank you so much this time. You helped me a lot again." Yue Ling thanked Xu Shen sincerely.
Xu Shen's face gradually regained its rosy color, and he said, "It's just a small matter."
Yue Ling smiled, and did not expose Xu Shen's disguise. She turned her palm over, and a black tumor appeared in her palm: "This is for you."
Xu Shen didn't hesitate to take it and absorbed it into his palm, and soon felt the information of this Xu soldier.
Unfortunately, there is no tendency to merge with the Xu soldiers in his body.
The effect of this Xu Bing is defensive, and it can locally enhance the defense of certain places. The effect is single. Xu Shen has a lot of such basic defensive Xu Bing.
Obviously, these soldiers are of a more common type.
However, I can always take it back and hand it in to make up the number.
"We were hunting an ancient corpse before, and they happened to see us. They wanted to steal our soldiers." Yue Ling took the initiative to explain why Tang Rui and his men were chasing us.
Xu Shen noticed that her body kept a distance from him, as if she was afraid of a sneak attack from him.
In this dark ruin, no one can be trusted.
Xu Shen didn't care, nodded and said: "Then we'll meet again when we have time."
Yue Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally did not try to keep him.
Before, she might have considered hunting with Xu Shen, but after seeing Xu Shen's performance just now, she was worried that if they plundered rare ruins soldiers, she would not be able to compete with Xu Shen.
After all, the two have only met twice. They might be able to remain friendly outside, but here, there is no evidence, and even very close friends may fall out.
When crimes are buried, malice is magnified.
After saying goodbye to Yue Ling, Xu Shen continued his exploration on his own.
As time passed, perhaps other people in the Ruins Realm also found the passage, and Xu Shen would occasionally encounter other teams or solitary second forms.
He did not go forward to interact with them, but just quietly avoided them and continued hunting.
In the darkness, an ancient corpse was walking slowly. It was seven or eight meters tall, as white as a wax figure, with white whiskers wrapped around it. It had arms on its chest and back, and its structure looked strange.
Its head is like an earthworm, without any hair, but with a hideous, strange mouth on the top.
Xu Shen's eyes were slightly stern, it was obvious that this was most likely an ancient corpse with B-level combat power.
Usually, there are condensed shells inside the B-level ancient corpses.
Xu Shen hesitated a little, but still decided to give hunting a try.
He pulled out the sniper rifle from the anchor point and aimed from a distance.
When the sniper rifle's eye locked onto the ancient corpse, the ancient corpse suddenly turned around. Although it had no eyes, Xu Shen had a terrifying feeling, as if the ancient corpse was staring at him through the eye.
"This isn't a B-class..."
Xu Shen's pupils shrank, he quickly put away his sniper rifle, turned around and ran.
Bang bang bang!
The ground shook suddenly and rapidly, and the figure of the ancient corpse quickly chased after them.
Xu Shen quickly used black blood to cover up his breath.
Suddenly, the rapidly approaching footsteps paused slightly, and then ran quickly to another place, as if attracted by something else.
Xu Shen didn't dare to stop and continued running for a long time before slowly stopping. His face looked a little ugly. The ancient corpse just now gave him a very dangerous feeling.
If you fail to get rid of it... the consequences will be disastrous.
"I can't go any deeper..."
Xu Shen's face was gloomy, the continuous kills and increased combat power made him a little greedy. This was the dark ruins, and he would also encounter A-level beings, and they would be on the same level as him. Once he was targeted by the opponent, he would not be able to escape.
Xu Shen returned along the way and decided to hunt near the passage.
The probability of encountering an A-level ancient corpse in this periphery is low, and if something happens, you can run back to the ruins through the passage.
Although the Ruins are also dangerous, with protective clothing, at least we can hide.
As time goes by.
From deep within the dark ruins, there were sudden waves of tremors that spread from the depths to the periphery, followed by gusts of whistling wind-like sounds that swept across the entire dark ruins.
Everyone in the dark ruins heard it, and realized that the return was about to come.
The dark ruins would experience turmoil every once in a while, and cracks would appear during each turmoil. These cracks were their path back.
Xu Shen stepped over several corpses and heard the whistling sound. He couldn't help but think of the director's instructions. He looked around, restrained his breath, and waited for the cracks to appear.
The duration of this crack varies, lasting up to an hour. If you don't leave immediately, you will remain in the dark ruins.
Unless you leave the passage and return to the cave along the original boundary.
But on this journey, no one can guarantee whether they will encounter deep ruins.
Therefore, leaving through the cracks in the dark ruins is the only way.
Although Xu Shen was able to return from the Ruins, he obviously did not want to be an outlier.
If we miss this turmoil and rift, we will have to wait for the next one for at least several months or even years, and during this time, we will stay in the dark ruins with basically no possibility of survival.
Xu Shen picked up the soldiers from the corpses and did not deal with them. These corpses were just in their initial state. When they saw him alone, they tried to attack and kill him, but he easily dealt with them.
Since he hadn’t met anyone from the Light Chasing Club, Xu Shen had no idea what their situation was.
In any case, his own mission was accomplished.
…
…
Deep in the dark ruins.
The source of the turbulence was golden, and it was actually a huge pool like magma, but inside it was golden liquid.
At this moment, the liquid was churning, and ancient corpses slowly crawled out from it.
These ancient corpses crawled out of the liquid like fish out of water. The golden liquid all over their bodies gradually disappeared into their bodies. The golden color on their skin quickly dimmed and turned into ordinary flesh and blood, and some even turned gray.
Their movements gradually became agile, as if they were walking unconsciously, and soon they disappeared into the darkness ahead.
By the pool, there was a figure sitting quietly, with his feet dangling in the golden liquid.
The figure suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the darkness behind him.
After a long time, it slowly withdrew its gaze, with a look of doubt in its eyes.
…
…
After the whistling sound of the wind gradually disappeared, Xu Shen saw two cracks appearing around him.
This crack seemed to swallow up even the darkness.
Xu Shen felt a little magical, but there were too many things that he couldn't understand at the moment, so he didn't think much about it and walked towards the crack.
Halfway through the walk, Xu Shen glanced back and saw Maeve still sitting on a rock, looking into the distance, and seemed to have no intention of following.
Xu Shen turned his eyes away, a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, Maeve was able to break into a strange place like the spiritual world on her own, so maybe she didn't need to go through the rift and could follow him back to reality.
He didn't think any more and stepped into the crack.
In an instant, Xu Shen felt like he was falling into an abyss.
When the strong feeling of weightlessness in his body disappeared, Xu Shen heard a noisy sound in his ears and a faint light appeared in front of his eyes.
Xu Shen saw that he was standing in a huge deep pit.
A square was built in the deep pit, and he was in the square, surrounded by dense figures.
This deep pit is huge, it is an extremely vast basin.
Xu Shen looked around. He could not see the church that they had seen before entering the cave. Instead, it was somewhere unfamiliar.
Besides, there were many figures around him, all of them were ruin slayers.
Some of the arms were broken and had obviously just been bandaged.
Xu Shen took a quick glance and was a little stunned. It seemed that here were... all the people who came out of the cave?
The opening of the ruins in the inner city is not only open to the Termite City, but also to the other seven cities.
The ruins caves have accumulated over a long period of time and are now numerous. They are allocated by the powerful people in the inner city. People like Xu Shen were allocated to the ruins caves that Mo Qinghao had fought for.
But there are many caves to enter, but the exit place is the same.
"All the dark ruins, are they leading to this place..." Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, feeling it was very strange. If one exited from the ruins and returned to the reality, the places where the ruins in different parts returned to the reality would also be different.
But the dark ruins are scattered throughout the inner city, and the places where they exit can magically gather together.
"What force is pulling them, or do all the paths in the cracks lead to this place?" Xu Shen looked around, and suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he saw a terrifying figure at the outer edge of the square.
The figure was huge, more than several hundred meters long, and there was no fog around it, so Xu Shen could see it clearly.
It is snow-white all over, with four wings growing on its back like an angel, but the terrifying thing is that it has two heads, each with four blood-red eyeballs, an extremely long tongue, and a huge strange mouth on its chest.
Its lower body was buried in the deep pit, and only the upper body was exposed, which was already extremely huge.
At this moment, the monster was like a sculpture. It looked extremely ferocious, but it also had a solemn feeling.
Xu Shen quickly turned his gaze away, but his heart was pounding wildly.
Is this monster Xu?
He had never seen such a huge ruin.
Moreover, this monster was facing the square, and although it was as motionless as a sculpture, Xu Shen had a feeling... it was like a prayer before a meal.
The square in front of this monster... is like a crowded dining table!
