Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 199: Suspected A-level
Youhe River.
Located in the bustling section of the Muhuang District, this is a river that surrounds the district. Because the water of the river is dark and deep, it is named Youhe.
It is rumored that the Youhe River is very deep and leads to the underworld.
That's where people go after they die.
No one has ever reached the bottom of the Youhe River and returned. This river is mysterious and dangerous, yet so attractive, lively and vast, making people yearn for it and want see it.
Even people who are good at swimming do not dare to go into the You River easily, and there are relevant prohibitions near the You River.
During every festival, many people would gather together, fold their thoughts about their deceased relatives onto paper cranes, and release them into the Youhe River to convey their thoughts.
This situation has never become outdated, because the magical thing is that all the paper cranes released into the Youhe River will never appear again after sinking into the river.
It was like it was really sent to the underworld, to deceased relatives.
There are no ships on the You River to salvage floating objects and garbage, but it remains the same color all year round and is not polluted, which makes people more awed by the You River.
At this moment, Xu Shen and Shen Wanqing, who received the news, quickly rushed here from the study.
The You River is very long. Under the leadership of Shen Wanqing, the two came to a designated section of the river.
As soon as the two arrived, they saw Captain Wang Cheng and others standing above a building, looking around.
Xu Shen and Shen Wanqing immediately released their Xu power and merged into the Xu world. The surrounding buildings became illusory, and they saw the captain and his men standing above a clump of Xu trees.
Standing on the treetop, looking around.
"Shh!"
Just as Shen Wanqing was about to speak, Wang Cheng immediately made a gesture, then jumped down from the treetop and said, "There are traces of Daxu here, be careful, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, didn't you meet him on the way here?"
"without."
Shen Wanqing immediately shook her head, and her eyes became serious as she looked around.
"Is everything okay in the study?" Wang Cheng looked at Xu Shen beside him.
Xu Shen thought of the strange woman in the study and shook his head, "No, everything is normal in the study."
Wang Cheng nodded and said immediately: "Be smart, Haiyin said this Daxu might be A-level!"
Grade A!
Xu Shen and Shen Wanqing's faces changed slightly. If the two states cooperated, they could hunt down most of the B-level monsters, but if they encountered an A-level monster... even the two-state team might be wiped out!
A-level ruins are already close to the level of kings, and the strongest A-level ruins are fully capable of fighting against kings.
"You are a perception system, have you noticed any trace of Xu?"
Wang Cheng looked at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen looked around and saw Lou Haiyin, Han Pengfei and others hiding in the treetops. They did not go too far away to avoid being ambushed by Xu.
"No..." Xu Shen had just opened his mouth when he suddenly saw a figure entangled on one of the ruins trees. It had a slender body like a python, seven or eight arms, a huge woman's face, an oval shape, a chin like a cone, and a pale skin. At this moment, her body was twisting like a shy girl hiding behind the treetops.
But those narrow and sharp eyes were filled with greed and smile.
Xu Shen's heart sank, and he quickly turned his eyes away and said to Wang Cheng, "Captain, did you see what that Xu looked like?"
Wang Cheng felt that Xu Shen's question was strange, but he didn't think much about it. He whispered, "Lou Haiyin didn't see it clearly either. The movement of the beast was too fast, but she said it was like a snake."
Snake...that's it.
Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Xu that was entangled on the Xu tree and spying on everyone. When he looked, the Xu just made a move, twisting its body from the Xu tree and swimming towards Lin Xiao who was hiding in a neighboring tree.
Lin Xiao looked around, and Xu Shen saw that his eyes were clearly looking in the direction of the ruins. They were only seven or eight meters away from each other, but Lin Xiao seemed not to see it.
The beast seemed to be ready, with its body slightly arched, like a poisonous snake raising its head in a threatening manner.
"Lin Xiao, be careful!"
Xu Shen said hurriedly.
Lin Xiao, who was on the ruins tree, was startled by Xu Shen's shout. His face changed slightly, and he felt a sense of danger in an instant. His hair stood up and he jumped out in a hurry.
puff!
The tree he was standing on was immediately crushed by the debris.
At this moment, this beast also appeared in front of everyone after the attack.
"Quick, surround it!"
Wang Cheng saw Xu and immediately gave orders.
Everyone quickly jumped down from the tree and surrounded the monster.
Lin Xiao, who had just escaped death, fell to the ground and looked at Xu Shen. The two looked at each other and Lin Xiao showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes. At this moment, as they were in the battle, it was not convenient for the two to say much. They just nodded, one expressed his gratitude and the other accepted the gratitude.
"Wanqing, block its movements!" Wang Cheng immediately ordered.
Shen Wanqing was a manipulator. She raised her hands without saying a word. In an instant, the surrounding trees began to shake. They bent down one after another as if they were under command. The branches twisted and cleaved, and they coiled around the tree like vines.
The dog looked down at everyone, chuckled, and said, "You little snacks look delicious..."
The entangled ruins suddenly broke into pieces, as if cut off by something invisible.
"Han Pengfei!"
Wang Cheng shouted immediately.
Han Pengfei immediately understood his thoughts and released his own abilities, manipulation, and flame control.
In an instant, the broken plants burned rapidly and turned into flames. Under his control, the flames wrapped around the ruins like a sea of fire.
Even if you are dozens of meters away, you can feel the scorching heat wave.
whoosh!
On the other side, Lou Haiyin, who was also from the perception department of the team, jumped to Xu Shen's side, and both of them stood beside Wang Cheng without moving.
Xu Shen glanced at Lou Haiyin, and Lou Haiyin also looked at Xu Shen and asked, "How did you find out?"
“Yes.”
Xu Shen asked: "Didn't you see it?"
Lou Haiyin shook his head: "My friend didn't tell me."
"Friend?"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows. Is he a friend like "brother" or "sister"?
Lou Haiyin saw Xu Shen's confusion and whispered, "My ability is called 'Wind Whisper', a name I gave myself. I can see the 'elves' born naturally between heaven and earth and communicate with them. They will tell me many interesting things, so I am very happy and never feel lonely..."
As she said this, she grinned.
It doesn't seem like now is the time to laugh... Xu Shen's eyes flickered, but he was used to the reactions in the two states, most of which were different from the normal state. As for the elf that Lou Haiyin mentioned... Xu Shen could only say that she might be too sick.
roar!
A roar was heard from the side. Lin Xiao's body swelled up and thick hair grew on it. His nose bridge protruded and sharp teeth were exposed from his mouth. He became like a huge porcupine.
This is his ability, the transformation type within the strong attack type.
The ability released at this moment brought him a powerful increase in attack speed, including a great improvement in his own defense. He suddenly kicked his legs and rushed towards the monster.
Xu in the sea of fire waved his arms and suddenly pushed the entire sea of fire away. Although he was in a fight, his pale face like a cone was smiling, and he pounced on Lin Xiao who was rushing towards him with a laugh.
Puff!
An invisible force suddenly appeared and cut the armor of Lin Xiao's personal guards, but just when Xu's claws were about to touch Lin Xiao, a golden figure suddenly flew out from the side.
The figure was hit by Xu's sharp claws and flew backwards, but he quickly got up after landing and continued to rush towards Xu.
Xu Shen saw clearly that it was a golden puppet.
As if made of gold.
On the other side, the person manipulating the puppet was another manipulator in the team, Chen Lei.
"Xu Shen, your ability seems to be weakness insight, right?" At this time, Wang Cheng said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen nodded, his eyes still in the state of Xu's eyes, and said: "But this Xu has only one weakness... on its waist and abdomen. "
Wang Cheng nodded: "That's enough, you stay here and don't run around. I will notify you if I need you to join me."
After saying that, he moved closer to Chen Lei.
"Attention, Xu's weakness is in his waist and abdomen." Wang Cheng conveyed the information to others.
Except for Shen Wanqing who was closest to him, everyone else was slightly stunned, and then immediately concentrated their attacks on the waist and abdomen of the beast.
"Isn't your ability to see the ruins?"
After Wang Cheng ran away, Lou Haiyin looked at Xu Shen strangely: "Seeing weaknesses and seeing the ruins seem to be two abilities? But as far as I know, no one can have two abilities, unless it is one ability with two characteristics?"
Xu Shen was speechless when he saw that she looked like nothing had happened and she didn't feel the tension of being on the battlefield at all. If the place in front of them was an A-level ruins, they would probably be in danger.
As for what Lou Haiyin said, Xu Shen could also understand it. From the relevant information he knew, everyone indeed had only one ability, but some abilities could present different abilities.
For example, Xue Haining’s Golden Concert Hall.
This is just one ability, but this ability contains the entire concert hall. The music played by the violinist can cut objects, and the sound played by the drummer can shake the soul and cause a mental explosion.
Another example is that ability is temperature.
Then it can both raise the temperature and lower it, it can both create flames and condense into ice.
"You don't seem nervous at all." Xu Shen did not answer Lou Haiyin's words. Although they were on the same team, it was enough for them to know the general attributes and abilities of each other. There was no need to reveal too many details.
Including the abilities demonstrated by other people, they will not be explained clearly.
"I told you, I have a lot of friends with me, I won't be scared, nor will I be nervous or lonely. " Lou Haiyin said with a smile, her pretty face looked very relaxed: "Besides, there's no point in being nervous, you'll die anyway."
Xu Shen glanced at her and said, "Your friend can only tell you whether the ruins exist, but won't reveal any other information?"
"If they see this Xu's weakness, or if it's injured somewhere, they'll tell me." Lou Haiyin looked a little regretful, and said, "It's a pity that I can't see Xu's weakness directly like you do. This is amazing."
Xu Shen asked: "Then can't your friends help you fight?"
Lou Haiyin shook his head and said, "They are all elves born from heaven and earth. What they hate most is fighting. Besides, they are so cute. How can I bear to let them participate in the battle?"
No wonder you can stand here and watch the show with peace of mind... Xu Shen was speechless, and then he found that he seemed to be the same.
It seems that the perception system does have a great advantage in the team.
Xu Shen immediately put aside all distractions and watched them fight calmly.
Next to him, Shen Wanqing was still controlling the Xu tree. Branches shot out from the Xu tree like fired thorns, heading towards Xu.
On the other side, Wang Cheng placed his hand on Chen Lei's shoulder and released his ability.
strengthen.
The golden puppet controlled by Chen Lei suddenly increased its strength and speed. The sharp dagger shot out from his hand actually pierced the scales of the creature, and a little black blood splashed out from it.
On the other side, Lin Xiao, transformed into a porcupine, pounced on the beast. His entire body was scratched by invisible sharp blades. Even his armor was unable to withstand the damage and was left with cracks.
There was blood flowing inside, but the wound healed quickly as it appeared.
He growled like a wild beast and beat the beast's body non-stop, like an angry animal that had lost its mind.
In the fight between several people, the fox did not gain the advantage for a while. The key was that it needed to protect its waist and abdomen at all times. Several people attacked its weaknesses, forcing it to be on guard.
At this time, Xu Shen saw the black vortex at the waist and abdomen of the fish suddenly disappear, and then reappear at the tail end.
"The weak point of the waist and abdomen has shifted to under the tail." Xu Shen immediately reminded loudly.
Xu's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked at Xu Shen.
Those narrow, dagger-like eyes, with a cold light, stared at Xu Shen intently.
Then he suddenly rushed towards Xu Shen.
When the others heard Xu Shen's reminder, they immediately rushed towards his tail. Lin Xiao, who had transformed into a porcupine, let go of his hand and pounced towards Xu's tail with a low roar.
Xu quickly returned to defense and suddenly let out a sharp growl.
Everyone felt as if a sharp needle pierced their brain, causing an intense stinging pain.
In the dark little room, "Mom" and many other figures who were sitting around the dining table chatting with Xu Shen seemed to have heard something and looked out the window.
"It's a bit noisy outside..."
Mom said in a low voice, somewhat displeased.
Xu Shen covered his forehead, and the stinging sensation quickly disappeared. When he looked up again, he saw Shen Wanqing and Lou Haiyin and others beside him, all with painful expressions. The situations of the other people were not optimistic either. Only the porcupine incarnation of Lin Xiao was still growling and attacking, and did not seem to be affected too much.
Xu shook off Lin Xiao, with murderous intent in his eyes, and rushed towards Xu Shen.
Xu Shen also looked towards it, his eyes calm, ready to draw his sword at any time.
But the next moment, the figure of this Xu paused slightly, as if it saw something, and its smiling eyes suddenly opened a little wider. It stared at Xu Shen, then laughed strangely twice, and suddenly bit Lin Xiao who was entangled with his body, trying to roll him away.
At this point, everyone had come back to their senses.
"Wanqing!"
Wang Cheng rushed back at some point and put his hand on Shen Wanqing's shoulder.
Shen Wanqing's pupils suddenly turned dark green, and in an instant, the entire forest shook like an earthquake.
The surrounding trees twisted rapidly and wrapped around the monster.
But just as it approached the ruins, it was cut off by an invisible force.
"Get Lin Xiao back."
Wang Cheng said hurriedly.
The surrounding trees quickly wrapped around Lin Xiao's body, transforming into endless vines that were constantly broken and reborn until they wrapped around Lin Xiao's legs and feet.
Hatred showed in the eyes of the beast. It let go of Lin Xiao, turned around and rushed away quickly, fleeing from there.
"Xu ran away." Lou Haiyin said.
Wang Cheng looked at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen nodded.
Wang Cheng finally felt relieved. Compared to Lou Haiyin, his performance in this battle made him trust Xu Shen's perception ability a little more.
"I'm glad everyone is okay." Wang Cheng looked at everyone and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was seriously injured. As for not being able to kill the Xu, he didn't care.
Killing them is part of your duty; if you don't kill them, just driving them away also means you have completed your job.
The ruins cannot be completely destroyed.
This is the consensus among senior ruin slayers.
The history of the ruins is more than 2,000 years old, and they still exist today. The ruins seem to be endless. If you expect to eliminate them completely, you will probably die of exhaustion first, and ten lives will not be enough to run around.
Therefore, it is enough to maintain the current situation.
On the ground, Lin Xiao, who had recovered from his porcupine appearance, was grinning. He took off his armor and his body was covered with countless scars, like intricate tree whips branding his body.
The previous wounds have now scabbed over.
"Thanks, brother." Lin Xiao grinned at Xu Shen.
