Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 14 Three Visits to Xinhuo Office
The sea water was boiling, and terrible monsters that had never been seen before appeared one after another.
The entire embankment had fallen into a cold and dead silence. Fear was like a giant python, climbing up the shivering bodies of the newlyweds and binding them tightly.
Grasped the throat and strangled the neck.
An unknown sound of fear came from his slightly opened mouth.
“Hoo~Hoo~”
At this time,
"Xu Yun", a professional physician from Xinhuo Medical Department, held a silver bell in her hand and shook it continuously, producing a clear and pleasant soothing sound that spread hundreds of meters away and reached the ears of each newcomer.
“Ding-ling~!”
“Ding-ling~!”
This is naturally the mysterious weapon, the calming bell!
The welcome ceremony is to open the eyes of the newcomers, to see the reality beneath the world, to let the newcomers understand their responsibilities as successors and the monsters they need to fight.
It's not just to scare newcomers.
Facing the impact of the evil tide for the first time may leave a psychological trauma even for the most well-trained investigators. These newcomers selected and recruited by Xinhuo from all over the country may have good potential, but at present, most of them are just pure newbies.
But it can't withstand the impact of such a strange and evil tide.
If you get scared, it will go against the welcoming ceremony.
But at this time, under the effect of the calming bell, although the newcomers were afraid, they did not break through that threshold and still retained the ability of their brains to function.
Their faces were pale, their hands and feet were weak, and many people could not stand steadily and collapsed to the ground.
In contrast, the few figures who were still standing firmly stood out.
Ye Luo and Ma Nian's postures were steady and upright, but...
That doesn’t mean they aren’t afraid!
They were almost scared to death. They just overcame their body's trembling instinct and tried to stand up straight so as not to make a fool of themselves!
Especially in the Year of the Horse, as a former evil hunter, he has a clearer understanding of these monsters.
Also...even more terrifying!
It wasn't just the physical fear that was instinctively felt. He was even more aware of the horror of these evil spirits. This dark tide of evil spirits could destroy a city! Was something going to happen? !
And there are quite a few large-scale evil spirits among them!
Ma Nian had faced that kind of monster before. It was over three meters tall, extremely powerful and possessed all kinds of terrifying abilities. At that time, they were surrounded and killed by six evil hunters, and two of them were slightly injured.
At this moment, there were dozens of such large-scale evil spirits as far as he could see!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shaking of the earth suddenly became more violent , and a huge figure emerged from under the sea, first the head, then the upper body, pushing aside the sea water little by little and walking towards the shore.
Its pupils were like the headlights of a large truck, its body was covered with muscles but it seemed to have no skin, with bloody flesh exposed, looking hideous and terrifying.
Especially the terrifying size of four or five stories high. Even a large evil creature standing next to it would be like a baby and would fly away with a light kick from this giant.
This is……
Extremely weird!
Ma Nian had never seen one, he just heard from some veteran hunters that once a particularly big evil appeared, it would cause a huge disaster and cause heavy casualties.
There are only a few evil hunters who can deal with the biggest evil. The old hunter knows of only one person - the legendary No. 1 hunter, the Split Fist Martial Saint Xing.
As for the others, even if a dozen veteran hunters worked together, they could not deal with such a terrifying evil.
This is evident!
I am afraid of the Year of the Horse, and the fear hits my heart like a tide.
Most of the newcomers had no idea about the evil, but just looking at the flesh and blood giant coming out of the sea was enough to scare them to death.
This is truly experiencing a great disaster and great terror firsthand!
I’m dying, dying, dying—!
They could no longer speak, their hands and feet were cold and weak, and they stared into the distance in a daze. The few remaining awakened ones, such , were also panic-stricken.
At this time,
Luo Jianxing and others took action!
"Use the Exploding Fire Bead!"
With a flip of their wrist, beads the size of pebbles filled with flaming flames appeared and were sandwiched between their fingers.
With the force of the wrist and the coordination of superb throwing techniques, one after another exploding fire beads were thrown out violently, flying a hundred or two hundred meters and falling into the group of strange evil spirits that were surging like a black wave.
Boom——!
Balls of orange-red fireworks exploded one after another, flames billowed, and heat waves spread out in the surroundings and hit the face.
This is a one-time weapon item.
It was improved upon the Investigation Bureau's "Fire Bead" and referenced the mystery of the green-level skill "Fireball". It can be said that such an exploding fire bead is equivalent to a full-strength attack by a first-level awakener using Fireball.
Xinhuo also has more powerful weapons, but the cost must be considered in combat. The explosive fire beads themselves are cheap and within the reimbursement limit of their mission, so using high-end weapons is not necessarily possible.
As the fire beads exploded, the doorman, the shaking corpse, and some strange aquatic weak and evil creatures died in an instant.
Even a two-star Guixie will be injured if hit head-on.
If multiple exploding fire beads can hit at the same time, it is possible to kill the two-star Guixie, but it is not worth it.
Luo Jianxing and other fighters at the front threw a total of forty or fifty explosive fire beads, specifically throwing them at the places where the evil spirits gathered.
In a short period of time, countless small evil spirits were destroyed.
The entire evil tide became much thinner.
"Brothers, let's get started."
Luo Jianxing drew out the sword from his waist, a green-level sword with a shiny blade emitting a cold glow. He took the lead and rushed forward against the surging evil wave.
hiss--!
At this time, the tide of evil spirits had shrunk a lot, but all the large evil spirits were still there.
The special weapons that had been deployed in such a large force just now could still only eliminate those ordinary evil spirits. Seeing Supervisor Luo rushing forward with a knife and charging into the group of evil spirits that still numbered in the hundreds, the former hunter Ma Nian took a breath of cold air.
Ye Luo widened his eyes.
“So fast!”
Luo Jianxing is indeed very fast. His awakened ability is speed enhancement, and he has even practiced his swordsmanship to the master level!
Possessing the second-order microscopic level of body control! Even if he explodes at super-fast speed, there won't be the slightest mistake.
His figure passed by a two-star evil spirit like a gust of wind with a red glow in it.
This is Blade Slash.
The blade slashed down, accurately landing on the vital part of the evil creature, killing it instantly with one blow.
KO! Kill monsters +1!
Luo Jianxing came and went like the wind, and his mood was as cheerful as the wind. He ran straight towards the most terrifying three-star evil spirit.
His speed increased again, leaving a black streak.
Skill: Shadow Step!
He first cut off the most dangerous forked tongue of the flesh giant, then cut off one of the giant's shin bones, and finally, the blade slashed out a red light several meters long , and he chopped it down heavily with both hands holding the knife!
boom--!!
The red light tore open the giant's skull.
Luo Jianxing fell from mid-air and knelt on one knee.
His comrades around him had almost cleared out the remaining evil spirits. Amid the smoke and flames of war, he let the flesh and blood giant fall heavily behind him, his hair blew by the wind, and he did not need to look back.
For this, Luo Jianxing gave himself 82 points.
Compared to big guys like the chief instructor, I am definitely far behind, but I finally have a chance to show off, which is not easy!
And in front of the cute new people.
Luo Jianxing breathed slightly, calming down the discomfort caused by the massive loss of life energy, and soon returned to the dam.
Facing pairs of shocked, admiring and adoring eyes.
Ah~ It’s been a long time since I enjoyed such a gaze.
Luo Jianxing had tears in his eyes.
Since he entered Xinhuo, from the student period to the official soldier stage, he has never been the most dazzling person.
Among the five people of the same period as him, Luo Rui, Ming Deng, Lao Gou, Xu Tian... four of them have combat power higher than him.
Fan Anyuan, Bai Yansi and others who joined the club later than him also caught up with or surpassed him.
There are also new monsters like Wang Wu, Lin Daozhi, Tsukizaki Maika, Xi Bei'er, and Ma Wen. Although they have only started training for more than a week, they are almost catching up with him.
The speed of progress is simply terrifying!
Perhaps, among this group of newcomers there are also evil monsters like Wang Wu and others.
The more Luo Jianxing thought about it, the more bitter he felt. He had it so hard.
But at this moment, he still had a faint smile on his face and sheathed his sword.
In the eyes of newcomers, especially those in the "circle" like Ma Nian, it is full of the demeanor of a strong person.
Boss Luo must be a top expert!
He also wants to become such a strong man!
…
In the new era, the truth hidden deep beneath reality is gradually emerging into the eyes of the public.
There was a slight unrest in the Donghuang Kingdom, but it was quickly suppressed.
The public's attention is more focused on the awakeners of the new era and the training of the Investigation Bureau. If there is any change, it is that the awakeners have come to the fore and many companies are competing to recruit awakeners.
At this time, it is very honorable to have an awakened employee.
Relatives whose children passed the selection of the Investigation Bureau are almost comparable to those who were admitted to Huangdu University and Shuimu University.
Bring honor to the family.
However, this is only Donghuang, only Donghuang. Abroad, as the great terror under the reality is revealed, it has set off one storm after another.
Demonstrations, storming the Super War Department building, live broadcast of committing suicide by being eaten alive by evil spirits, etc.
One thing after another made the entire Langhua Kingdom in a state of panic.
Minister Anderson only felt that his handsome chestnut short hair was almost bald!
In particular,
"Look at that ancient country in the East. They eliminated the evil in a timely manner. But what about us? What is our Super Warfare Department doing? This bunch of damn rubbish is wasting our taxpayers' money."
"Why is there no disaster in the magical East? Is this God's punishment?"
"Great Lord, your devout believer is willing to offer this body of flesh and blood to pray for your forgiveness."
During the Red Moon Ceremony, the country that suffered the most damage, the Wave, was almost in chaos.
Even worse is the emergence of many sects preaching doomsday. Most of them are naturally fake, without any supernatural power to support them. But in such an environment, their Super Warfare Department is unable to determine which one is true and which one is false.
Arrest them all? They don't have that much manpower.
What’s more, this is human nature.
The entire Langhua Kingdom is almost more chaotic than before the Red Moon Disaster.
Under such circumstances, Anderson, representing the Super War Department, came to the Xinhuo Office in Whiterun for the third time.
