Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 293 Strange Attack
Xu Shen was suddenly startled.
He hurriedly looked around vigilantly, but saw that the old man and the noblewoman were staying where they were, with no energy leaking out of their bodies. It was obvious that the attack did not come from them.
Is it a curse from some other dark place?
Xu Shen's face was solemn, and he was surrounded by his small-scale, big-win ability.
The scar on his wrist was not suppressed or shrunk by his ability, but the pain from the previous crack disappeared.
At this time, Xu Shen saw blood gushing out of his wrist. It was Hai Jue who was helping to heal him.
But after the blood covered it, Hai Jue said with a hint of surprise, "It cannot be cured. This does not seem to be an attack directly on your body, but some kind of curse, or some other special attack."
Xu Shen's face changed slightly. Even Hai Jue couldn't cure him?
He stared at the scar on his wrist, and his brows suddenly frowned.
Shouldn't injuries cause bleeding? Why are there scars?
It was like a scab had solidified, but he didn't see any blood from the time of injury to the appearance of the scar.
Xu Shen was not prepared to be careless due to the variety of abilities. With a cold light in his eyes, he asked Hei Xue to check the surroundings.
Heixue agreed and separated from Xu Shen's body, turning into a ball of black hair and flying into the deep ruins like a ball of hair.
Han Hu and the others saw this process, and their faces turned even paler, and they dared not move.
After a moment, Kuroxue returned and merged into Xu Shen's shoulder again, shaking his head and saying, "I didn't see any enemies, and there were no other two-states nearby. This should be an ultra-long-range attack, or even some kind of attack caused by a special medium."
"Can you detect any signs of attack?" Xu Shen asked.
Kuroyuki shook his head, indicating that he could not.
The minotaur also made a sound inside Xu Shen's body, but was unable to do so either.
Linglu and Haijue had no idea either. Linglu tried to use her purification ability to erase the scars for Xu Shen, but surprisingly, the scars on Xu Shen's arm could not be healed even by Linglu's ability.
Xu Shen was a little surprised. Ling Lu and Hai Jue were both unable to do anything about this small scar.
Is this really an attack from the Dimorph?
If it was the king... I had just arrived in the Nightingale District, and was it the Night Rat King who had seen through me?
The Night Rat King had spied on him in the dark before and should have known about his situation, but he sent Han Hu and the other two to encircle and suppress him. This arrangement was more of a test .
To test him, or to deliberately reveal his whereabouts...
Could it be that the medium that attacked him was these people?
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced around at the corpses, but he did not take any action. It was Kuroxue and Haijue who took action. If the damage was rebounded through these people's bodies, it should have been rebounded to Kuroxue and the others.
"Let's go, leave here first."
Xu Shen couldn't figure out the reason. Even Hai Jue and the others couldn't figure out the attack method. This place was too dangerous.
if,
If this scar attack appeared on my neck, would I be... dead now? !
Thinking of this, Xu Shen felt a little scared.
This long-lost premonition of unknown death made him feel worse.
Han Hu and the three old men didn't say anything and could only follow Xu Shen's instructions.
Before leaving, Xu Shen asked Heixue to collect the soldiers from these two-state corpses, and then gave the corpses to Haijue to dissolve and absorb.
Covered in blood, corpses were everywhere in the ruins. In the end, nothing was left but the armor they were wearing. Their skin, flesh and bones were all corroded by the blood and turned into nutrients.
After leaving the Emerald Manor, Xu Shen led the three of them to walk in the ruins, asking Han Hu to lead the way to the intelligence point he mentioned.
On the way, Xu Shen kept paying attention to the scar on his arm, but found that the scar did not continue to extend.
This made him feel a little relieved, but the existence of this unknown attack made him feel tense all the time, and no one knew when the next attack would come.
Not long.
Xu Shen and Han Hu and three others came to an intelligence station.
Xu Shen first went to the intelligence station to confirm the news about Han Hu. In less than three minutes, the intelligence station was reduced to ruins under the attack of four people. A second-state inside was surrounded and killed easily by the four people.
Before the killing, the information extracted from the other party confirmed that what Han Hu said was true.
The Night Rat King did leave the city.
This is a good opportunity to spy on the Night Rat King's camp.
Xu Shen immediately took Han Hu and others and went straight to the place the other party mentioned.
The Night Rat King's lair is in a suburb of the Nightingale District, deep in the ruins of a dozen nearby residential areas. Holes have been dug out of the soil, and the forces assembled by the Night Rat King are stationed inside.
They live in the second level of the Xu Realm, occasionally traveling to reality to practice and train in the Xu Realm.
With the help of Heixue, Xu Shen entered the deepest level of the ruins, from where he could easily see all the dynamics beneath the soil, which were as illusory as bubbles.
The cave was filled with garrison troops and destroyers.
According to Heixue's detection and Han Hu's introduction, there are more than 80 two-state residents here.
This is more than the sum of the two-state garrison forces in the two regions.
Xu Shen was a little surprised. The Night Rat King's years of planning and revenge really showed that he had a big hidden card.
And we don’t know if there are any other binary hoards elsewhere.
"With so many two-states, are they supported by the inner city?"
Xu Shen looked at Han Hu beside him, and did not forget that the other person's surname was Han.
Han is one of the seven major family surnames in the inner city.
Han Hu seemed to have guessed Xu Shen's thoughts, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, the big forces in the inner city have a treaty agreement that they are not allowed to privately participate in the fights and politics of the bottom city. Once discovered, there will be extremely severe punishment."
He said: "Although my last name is Han, I have nothing to do with the Han family in the inner city. My ancestors were from the Han family, but they were expelled a long time ago. Moreover, those who were expelled will never return to the family. This is the rule of the seven major families in the inner city..."
Xu Shen had heard of this rule. It seemed that the cause was that the descendants of an expelled tribe member returned to the Hui tribe, climbed to a very high position, and eventually showed their fangs and took revenge, leading to the fall of a large tribe.
Therefore, other ethnic groups began to fear this.
“Other small forces don’t dare to intervene?” Xu Shen thought of the Daytime Gang, which was backed by a third-rate force in the inner city. The Daytime Gang’s behavior in the Sleepless District was obviously “interfering in politics.”
"As a small force, there are bound to be some that cannot resist the temptation," said Han Hu.
Xu Shen nodded, thinking that there must be guys from the inner city among these two states.
Otherwise, cultivating so many dual-states just from the bottom city... is a bit of a fantasy.
After all, this is right under the nose of the queen ant, and it is almost impossible to cover it up for a long time.
"careful!"
Hai Jue suddenly gave a reminder.
Xu Shen's eyes flashed and he looked over suddenly.
Then he saw a second form suddenly stand up and look towards the direction where Xu Shen was.
The young man in two states had a cold gaze. From the perspective of the world he was in, he was just staring at the wall of the cave, but Xu Shen could feel that his gaze penetrated the rock wall and was looking directly at him.
This...isn't dimorphic?
The next moment, the two figures suddenly flashed, walked into a shadow somewhere in the cave, and then took a step out.
Came to the fourth level of the world.
"Who are you?"
The young man looked at Xu Shen coldly. He glanced around and seemed to have some impression of Han Hu beside Xu Shen. His face suddenly darkened: "Enemy?"
Han Hu was shocked and confused. Is this the king?
"Where is the Night Rat King?" Xu Shen asked.
The young man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you think I am?"
"Because I've seen him."
The young man narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Shen: "Are you someone close to the ant queen?"
"You are from the inner city?" Xu Shen asked back, "The inner city is not allowed to interfere in the politics and economy of the bottom city, don't you understand?"
The young man sneered, "As long as no one knows, who knows whether to interfere?"
As expected, there are some who are so daring... Xu Shen was not too surprised. Where there are people who uphold the rules, there will be people who break the rules.
"It seems that you are passing by and brought three traitors here. Do you want to destroy his lair while he is away?" The young man looked at Xu Shen with interest, but his eyes kept sweeping to Xu Shen's shoulders, where black silk was floating. He could feel that it was a hidden ghost.
And there seem to be several hidden powers in Xu Shen's body.
"I don't want to do it, I just want to see. After all, we may become allies." Xu Shen said with a smile.
"oh?"
The young man looked at Xu Shen with interest: "Want to betray the queen ant? Or do you want to benefit from it?"
"I just want to live a good life, so it depends on the compensation you give me." Xu Shen said.
The young man smiled and said, "Then we have to wait until he comes back to discuss this matter. I can't make the decision on this matter. After all, I am also a guest here."
Xu Shen smiled and said, "That's true, but no matter who you talk to, you always have to increase your bargaining chips, don't you think?"
"oh?"
The young man narrowed his eyes and asked, "For example, what do you have?"
"I have you."
Xu Shen smiled and said, "If I can capture you, I should be able to gain a lot of bargaining chips and topics to talk about. Besides, this is a rare opportunity."
The young man was stunned, then he laughed: "That's right."
He laughed and said, "If we wait for him to come back, we will be two against one. Not only will you alert the enemy, but you will also get into trouble."
"Yes, so we have to act now."
Xu Shen had a helpless expression.
As he spoke, the black filaments on his shoulders floated up like fluffy mist, and Kuroxue's figure gradually appeared.
"A-level Xu, did the queen ant teach you how to tame it?" The young man looked at Hei Xue with interest and was not panicked. In the battle between kings, having one more A-level Xu would be a bit troublesome, but it was not particularly tricky.
And how powerful can Xu be if he can be tamed by a king?
Han Hu and the other three were somewhat frightened. The two kings were chatting and laughing with fake smiles, but they were already at the point of fighting.
Once the battle starts, these three will be the first to suffer.
Xu Shen showed an expression of noncommittal towards the young man's words. After seeing Xu Shen's eyes, the tacit understanding between them allowed Kuroxue on his shoulder to quickly condense an attack, and her black hair transformed into a spear that suddenly shot out.
The young man dodged sideways as gracefully as a swimming fish.
But the moment the spear was avoided, it suddenly split, and countless thin threads extended from the side, suddenly stabbing towards the young man.
puff!
The young man was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the face by the black hair, and blood was immediately flowing.
But while half of his face was covered in blood, the other half still had a light smile on his face, and his lips maintained the curve of a smile.
"That's quite impressive." He chuckled.
The wound on the face then healed slowly.
When Kuroyuki saw that he was being looked down upon, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and more hair extended out.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The long hair was like spear-like edges, like thousands of arrows shot at once. The young man's body jumped quickly, dodging between the long hair and avoiding them easily. This time, he was prepared and agile, and he was able to predict some unexpected attacks, so he was not injured again.
"Let me try."
The Tauren applied to go into battle.
Xu Shen thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The next moment, the Minotaur's body was revealed in the blood spores released by Hai Jue. It grew rapidly in just a short moment and rushed out from Xu Shen's body. With the enhancement of his ability to achieve great results with small efforts, his attack speed was extremely fast.
Bang!
The huge fist smashed out violently.
The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure spun rapidly like a top, quickly avoiding the punch.
"roar!!"
The minotaur roared suddenly. The resentment and anger that had been locked up for thousands of years were forcibly suppressed and extinguished by Xu Shen. Now he applied to go into battle just to vent his anger!
The violent mental shock exploded instantly.
The young man's expression froze, he was caught off guard, he had never expected that Xu in front of him would self-destruct upon meeting him.
This guy is crazy!
Being at the core of the soul shock, he was struck extremely hard.
In the moment of stagnation, Kuroyuki's long hair instantly pierced through his body, and the black hair instantly split into 100,000 sharp black needles, bursting out from his head, arms and other parts of his body.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a sea urchin.
Then the long hair exerted force and the young man's body was completely torn apart.
Xu Shen frowned slightly. Was it resolved so quickly?
Although the king in front of him can regenerate, most of him is a reconstruction system, but his combat power is a bit weak.
No matter how powerful the reconstruction system is, it is just an immortal turtle shell, and there are many ways to restrict it.
Even the Minotaur's unparalleled ability to regenerate the soul was imprisoned thousands of years ago, let alone the rebirth of the physical body.
Buzz!
At this moment, Xu Shen suddenly felt something sharp piercing his forehead.
This feeling only lasted for a moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye, like an illusion.
But the next moment, Xu Shen's vision changed.
He seemed to be in a dream, with countless images before his eyes like rapidly turning pages of a book, turning rapidly: yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday...
Memories are flashing forward rapidly.
One year ago, two years ago...
In the blink of an eye, he returned to the time when he had not yet become the Ruins Slayer and had just met "Mom" and Maeve.
At home at that time.
It is the second month of the lockdown.
He has eaten a lot of delicious food cooked by "Mom".
I also watched my mother's body become softer and fuller.
The dusty memories appeared clearly before my eyes, as if they were recorded in a picture album, so real.
His memory was still flipping forward, and he saw one night, a figure suddenly sneaked into his room.
He walked out from the wall and appeared in his room.
With a slender figure, she held a spear and prepared to throw it at herself who seemed to be sleeping peacefully on the bed.
At that time, he had just “opened his eyes” and saw his “mother”, and it was only the third day.
At that time, he was completely shocked by the world before his eyes and was in fear every day. How could he sleep peacefully?
The thrown spear stopped in front of the bed, and the figure of "Mom" crawled quickly from another room. The figure seemed to turn her head and take a look, and the next moment she threw out the spear.
But the spear stopped in mid-air, blocked by Maeve's fingertips.
The fingertips were two inches in front of Xu Shen’s forehead.
Therefore, Xu Shen could clearly see how white, tender and slender that fingertip was.
You can also see the fingertips and the tip of the spear, as if there is a wall of air between them.
There was no direct contact.
Then came the angry and sharp voice of "Mom", rushing over and pouncing on the slender figure, but missing.
After throwing the spear, the figure disappeared like smoke, and the spear disappeared along with it.
"Mom" looked and searched around the room angrily, but found nothing.
But after that, "Mom" would often come to see me at night.
And they watched him even more closely.
From then on, he was not allowed to go out.
He was told countless times that it was extremely dangerous outside.
The source of all this was the attack by that mysterious woman.
Xu Shen had already forgotten this scene during the three long months. Compared with those three months of "warm" life, this little bit of dregs was not worth mentioning.
