Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 277: Chasing
Xu Shen didn't expect that he could be successful in the end and was overjoyed.
With the addition of Haijue, Linglu and Heixue, they have the power to protect themselves even if they encounter the queen ant.
According to the card pattern duel, Hei Xue can restrain the Queen Ant's A-level Xu Ma, and the Hai Jue mother and daughter should have no problem restraining the Queen Ant, but it would probably be difficult to kill the Queen Ant.
In general, the power currently in his hands gives Xu Shen more ability to protect himself.
There is also capital for future negotiations.
If... I could also be promoted to king, it would completely change the situation.
However, this expectation is a bit unrealistic.
Yes, it's unrealistic.
From what Xu Shen learned about the king's promotion path from King Mu to the difficulty he learned from other aspects, they all illustrate the extremely low probability of promotion for the king, as well as the terrifying difficulty.
To achieve Nirvana and rebirth, just trying to reach it will cost you your life.
Who is willing to take on the challenge easily?
This cannot be achieved simply by hard work. Hard work can only bring you infinitely close to success, but the final finishing touch has a veto power that can wipe out all 99 points of effort.
Life is the same.
However, although it is extremely difficult, Xu Shen still holds such a fervent expectation.
What if it comes true?
After making a promise with Haijue, Haijue asked Xu Shen and his "new friend" Hei Xue to wait outside while they made some preparations.
Xu Shen knew the difficulty of moving the nest, so he took Hei Xue back to the ground.
"Mom, are you really willing to leave?"
After Xu Shen left, Ling Lu hugged her mother's arm in the blood pool and looked up at Hai Jue:
"Is it for me?"
Hai Jue's eyes fell into deep thought as Xu Shen and the others left. When he heard his daughter's words, he slowly withdrew his thoughts. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she whispered: "It has nothing to do with you, but his invitation... is hard to refuse."
Ling Lu was surprised and asked, "But didn't you say before that this place is good and outside is dangerous?"
Hai Jue showed a slightly bitter smile: "But if refuse, we may be in danger now..."
The invitation she said could not be refused... was not from him, but from her...
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Hai Jue could feel the strange, evil, alternative and creepy aura.
And this aura accompanied the young man.
It's hard to imagine why such a being would always follow such food...
…
…
Back on the factory floor, Xu Shen appeared in the corner.
The black snow also turned into a strand of black hair, penetrated into the inside of Xu Shen's shoulder armor, and wrapped around his arm.
Xu Shen could feel the breath of Heixue, part of which was connected to him, and part of which was floating in the deep ruins, appearing and disappearing.
Xu Shen waited quietly for Hai Jue and his daughter.
Not long.
Xu Shen suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood surging up from the ground. Then, Xu Shen saw a figure made of blood flying out. It was huge, about seven or eight meters long, and its lower body was bloated with plasma that was constantly surging.
The small figure sitting on his shoulder was Ling Lu.
"We need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise the person guarding here will sense my presence." Hai Jue said to Xu Shen immediately after appearing.
Xu Shen also understood the urgency of the matter, nodded, and immediately led them out of the factory.
As for the procurement transaction, Xu Shen contacted Lou Haiyin through the communicator and handed the matter over to her.
Compared with Haijue and her daughter, purchasing is a trivial matter and is itself a cover-up.
With the help of Hei Xue, Xu Shen was pulled into a deeper level of the Ruins, where the king stayed. He could easily pass through the obstacles set up in the shallow Ruins.
That’s right, in the shallow ruins of this factory building, there are many obstacles, as well as hidden traps and alarms, all of which are designed to prevent people from sneaking in and stealing.
But not at the king level.
However, the environment of the ruins here is even more desolate, and even trees, flowers and plants are extremely rare.
The ground was bare and charred, like the earth that had been burned by flames.
The air was filled with a turbid and depressing smell, and the restraining force around him seemed to have changed significantly. Xu Shen could feel that his body seemed to have become much heavier, as if a weight of thousands of pounds had been added.
He used all his strength to channel it into his feet so that he could run.
"Are you good at hiding?" Xu Shen asked Hai Jue and his daughter while running.
"good."
Hai Jue answered softly. His huge body, like a blood-red candle, revealed a terrifying posture, but his voice was extremely gentle and peaceful, with the feeling of a virtuous wife.
Xu Shen had no way of thinking about what she meant by "okay", but thinking about how the mother and daughter had been lurking in this factory for so long, they must be more or less good at this.
"What's that in your place?"
Xu Shen saw that Ling Lu was carrying a package on his shoulder. The package seemed to be made of some kind of leather, and some of the patches were roughly made, with bulges inside.
"A little snack made for you."
Ling Lu dug out a piece from inside, it was a deep blue in color, and turned out to be a high-grade purifier.
Xu Shen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ling Lu still remembered this.
Moreover, since I was moving now, I probably didn't bring much luggage with me, so I had empty hands. But I remembered to bring his gift.
Xu Shen was somewhat touched.
"Thanks."
Xu Shen thanked him sincerely.
Originally, Xu Shen was able to invite Hai Jue and his daughter, but he didn't care much about this matter and didn't even ask about it.
"Linglu always keeps his word." Linglu said with a laugh.
Xu Shen smiled and said, "Ling Lu is very well behaved."
The black snow wrapped around Xu Shen's shoulders floated out like a ghost, and looked at Xu Shen with a slightly annoyed expression. The look seemed to be saying, am I not being obedient?
Xu Shen was stunned. He didn't expect that she would be jealous. He was about to comfort her when he suddenly saw Maeve floating in the wind in front of him as if she was sitting in the wind. She turned around and rolled her eyes at him.
Xu Shen was disappointed and did not choose to comfort her.
As expected, in such occasions...it is better to speak less.
whoosh!
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from behind them.
Before Xu Shen could react, Hei Xue's expression suddenly changed. Her eyes stood up and looked behind Xu Shen, while her beautiful hair became fluffy, covering Xu Shen's back.
But before the attack arrived, a blood spike suddenly extended from the surging plasma in Hai Jue's lower body and blocked it.
Xu Shen also reacted at this moment and his face changed suddenly. He subconsciously turned back but controlled himself in time. The existence who could launch an attack from this level must be a king.
He is the king of the inner city!
Your true face... must never be revealed.
He immediately called out Mo Wei to check the situation from behind.
Mo Wei's lower body was in the shadow under Xu Shen's feet, but his upper body was leaning out, and he quickly shared the view with Xu Shen's mind.
A figure was chasing them rapidly from behind. He was wearing blood-brown armor and holding an ancient spear. He was fully armed and looked like a warrior from a very ancient time. He was charging towards them with ferocious momentum.
It is indeed the king...Xu Shen's expression changed slightly.
"I was still discovered..." Hai Jue sighed. He thought he could avoid a confrontation by walking quickly.
Her figure faded, and she said to Xu Shen, "We will hold him back, you go first."
Xu Shen was startled and quickly let Hei Xue pull him to stop. He turned around and a demon mask appeared on his face. Although Xu Shen knew that this mask was the symbol of the Jiang family from previous battles, he couldn't care less at this moment.
Only the soldiers in the ruins could block his view and prevent anyone from seeing his face.
"Since we've agreed to be a family, we should be together and leave together!"
Xu Shen said in a deep voice.
Four to one, oh no, three to one, he just wanted to test whether the three A-level Xu can compete with the king.
Hai Jue was slightly surprised and glanced at Xu Shen out of the corner of his eye.
As her eyes moved, the oncoming warrior suddenly attacked, and the spear was thrown towards her with a spiral sound of breaking wind.
Hai Jue's blood boiled and flowed to the ground, forming a pool of blood within a radius of dozens of meters.
As the spear fell, countless arms extended from the blood pool and grabbed the spear, touching the spear body, but these blood arms were broken by the huge force and could not be stopped, they could only weaken it.
Bang!
The spear suddenly penetrated and pierced into Hai Jue's body, creating a hole with a diameter of one meter.
But the broken hole healed in an instant, and streaks of blood flowed from the ground to the spear, trying to pick it up.
But there was a flash of golden lightning on the spear, which destroyed the blood. No blood could get close to the three feet where the spear landed.
When Heixue saw this, her hair suddenly flew out and wrapped around the spear.
But her beautiful hair was also shattered by the golden lightning from the spear.
Xu Shen was surprised. This spear didn't seem to be an ordinary weapon, but a Xu weapon. It was extremely heavy and had extremely terrifying special power. This power was even equivalent to the ability of a king.
No wonder he dared to throw it out.
whoosh!
The warrior moved as fast as the wind and rushed to Hai Jue in an instant, stepping into the pool of sticky blood without hesitation.
This swamp-like blood pond was enough to easily trap the two forms and corrode and digest them, but the strange thing was that where the warrior stepped, golden thunder flashed, automatically forcing away and destroying the blood in the blood pond.
Xu Shen was slightly stunned, and then he realized that the golden thunder was not a characteristic of the spear itself.
But is it the ability of this king?
As Xu Shen looked at him carefully, the eyes under the king's helmet also turned and saw Xu Shen. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his heart.
The core sequence of the Jiang family?
Why are you here?
These three Xu beasts... Is the Jiang family trying to use Xu beasts to save the situation?
His eyes darkened. He was originally just hunting down the Ruin Beast, but it ended up being related to the Jiang Family. Things became a little complicated.
But...it's impossible to let it run away.
That little fellow from the Jiang family... is just a biped, just beat him to death.
It would be easy if we killed them all.
The soldier's thoughts came into his mind instantly, and his eyes turned cold. As long as the bodies were destroyed and all evidence was removed cleanly, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
He stepped into the blood pond and rushed quickly towards the ruins in front of him.
Hai Jue's eyes were calm, the blood beneath his body had melted, and blood spears or big hands kept shooting out from the blood pool, rushing towards the opponent.
But the warrior's body was flashing with golden lightning, which shattered all the blood.
Ling Lu, who was sitting on Hai Jue's shoulder, did not stand by and watch anymore. Instead, he suddenly raised his hand and waved out a white circle of air, covering the warrior.
The warrior did not dodge. Golden lightning appeared all over his body, shattering the air circle, but at the same time, the golden lightning suddenly disappeared.
The warrior narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the little guy on Haijue's shoulder.
If his ability can restrain this big blood girl, then this little guy's ability seems to be able to affect his ability?
This is a bit unbelievable.
On the other side, Kuroxue also joined the battle, and the condensed black hair spears suddenly pierced through, like a black cannon shot from a distant direction. The spiral spears condensed from dozens of meters of spears were enough to penetrate the mountain.
The warrior snorted coldly, raised his hand suddenly, used all his strength to pull the spear back, and then swung the spear out fiercely.
The black hair collided with the spear, and the warrior's body flew backwards, but the black hair was also shattered, and Kuroxue's face became even paler.
Xu Shen stood at a distance and watched intently. He could hardly intervene in such a battle. Even though he had two extremely strong defensive abilities, namely, "using a small to win a big" and "roundness", he did not dare to approach rashly.
That golden lightning is so weird.
Control of thunder and lightning?
But the lightning that Xu Shen knew could not cause such powerful damage.
Crash!
At this moment, the blood pool under Hai Jue suddenly expanded from tens of meters to hundreds of meters and thousands of meters in a blink of an eye!
The entire area was covered with blood, forming a small lake!
Xu Shen's feet were also covered in blood, but Xu Shen felt that the blood was only flowing through his feet and did not cause any erosion or impact on him, just like waves washing over him.
Xu Shen could feel the blood flowing, like some slender hand caressing his ankle.
As the range of the blood expanded, waves rose in the blood lake, and then gathered together, turning into a seven or eight meter long blood wave that hit the soldier.
Facing the huge blood wave raised by the Sea Duke, the warrior holding a spear looked tiny and was submerged in the blink of an eye.
The surging waves raised the blood lake on the ground, trying to submerge it.
But suddenly, golden lightning flashed, and the warrior rushed out from inside. The blood around his feet was forced out, making it impossible to get close, and his eyes became more fierce.
Xu Shen observed carefully and suddenly noticed a detail.
The warrior's armor and spear were all rusty.
But it wasn't rust, it was dried blood.
And the traces of blood were decreasing and seemed to be falling off.
Squeak!
As the golden lightning reappeared, Xu Shen looked at it more carefully this time. With the increased vision and perception of the evil ghost mask, the jumping speed of the golden lightning seemed to be slowed down by half speed.
Xu Shen could see the arc of lightning, which was growing from the "rust" on his armor and spear.
When Xu Shen observed this, the soldier suddenly raised his hand and bit his finger.
Blood splattered out and he smeared it on the spear. Then golden lightning flashed and he once again held the gun and stepped on the blood lake to kill Hai Jue.
Hai Jue frowned slightly, and the blood lake suddenly surged, and a huge figure condensed again, the same as her.
