Chapter 269 The Man Under the Umbrella

The monster's figure moved quickly like a wandering soul during the attack, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a ghost, causing all the attacks to fall into the air.

Lu Yunxian's domineering explosive fist force blasted a gully more than ten meters long on the ground, and a large amount of blood was evaporated, but it did not hurt the monster at all.

"Ah!" An officer stepped back in horror. The strange man appeared and was facing him. His eyes, which were completely black without whites, looked at him through his hair, making him feel terrified. He screamed and stepped back involuntarily.

But one of the strange man's hands had already grabbed his neck like a ghost claw.

"You dare!" Lu Yunxian punched out violently, and flames roared out like a tiger.

But the strange man's figure flashed in the blood rain, and when he appeared again, he was already behind the officer, with a pair of ghost-like hands, about to grab the officer's head.

For a moment, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They all knew that this was just the first one and they would all be killed soon.

When fighting against dimensional creatures, if you can't find a way to defeat them, you will easily be wiped out, and the only way out is to escape.

Lu Yunxian was also very clear about this, so he was ready to order a retreat, letting as many of them as possible escape. He would hold back this terrifying dimensional creature by himself, and at worst he would die here.

Just as the strange man's ghostly claws were about to grab the young officer's head, suddenly a strong light shone from a distance and fell on the strange man.

When the strange man was illuminated by the light, he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his face, and then looked in the direction where the strong light came from.

"Everyone, get out of the way." A voice came, and the officer finally reacted. He suddenly rushed out and broke free from the control of the monster.

The other officers, including Lu Yunxian, subconsciously stepped back a distance.

Buzz!

With a trembling sound, a bamboo sword broke through the air and cut through the blood rain, directly piercing the body of the monster. Then the monster's body turned into black water and scattered on the ground. The bamboo sword was also inserted diagonally into the ground submerged in blood rain.

But unlike before, this time the monster did not revive and condense again, but gradually merged with the blood rain and seeped into the mud of the earth.

Lu Yunxian and others looked in the direction where the bamboo sword came from. They didn't know who saved them, but Lu Yunxian felt that the voice he heard before seemed familiar. He also seemed to have seen this strange bamboo sword somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Soon, they saw a figure walking in the blood, holding an umbrella in his hand. However, unlike the heavy special raincoats they were wearing, the man was only wearing ordinary black armor and walking in the blood. His body was splashed with a lot of blood, but he was not infected by the virus in the blood rain. They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, thinking that the person holding an umbrella in front of them must be an extremely powerful epic master.

Lu Yunxian saw that the umbrella seemed familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have one himself, but he left it in the jeep and did not bring it with him. In a place like this, an umbrella was of no use at all.

The man walked over with an umbrella, straight to the bamboo sword that was stuck diagonally on the ground, reached out and pulled the bamboo sword out, and put it back into the scabbard.

Because his face was obscured by the umbrella, his features were unclear. Lu Yunxian saluted and said, "Thank you very much for your help, friend. I wonder if you could leave your name. I am Lu Yunxian of the Third Battalion, Seventh Regiment of the Sunset Army. I will always be grateful and will repay you one day..."

Hearing Lu Yunxian's words, the man raised his head and looked at Lu Yunxian, with the edge of his umbrella slightly tilted up. Lu Yunxian finally saw the man's face clearly, and then he was stunned, his mouth wide open and he forgot to say what was next.

Not only Lu Yunxian, but all the officers in the Third Battalion opened their eyes wide, staring at the face revealed under the umbrella in disbelief, as if they were dumbfounded.

The blood rain continued to fall, but everywhere except for it, there was dead silence.

"Captain Lu, time is running out. Let's hurry up and find the dimensional creature that swallowed the stone tool first." Zhou Wen walked forward holding a bamboo sword.

He originally didn't want to show up, but Lu Yunxian and the others were obviously no match for the Wuliang. Lu Yunxian's strength was not inferior to that of the Wuliang, and his fire power could also restrain the Wuliang to a certain extent.

However, in this endless blood rain, his fire power was suppressed too much, while the ghost received a great blessing. Just the ability of water escape greatly increased the speed of the ghost, and Lu Yunxian's attacks could not touch it at all.

"Master Wen, Adjutant An has given me a death order, asking me to take good care of you and absolutely not allow you to set foot on the ancient battlefield." Lu Yunxian still addressed Zhou Wen the same way, but both his tone and attitude were completely different.

Soldiers obey orders and respect the strong. In their eyes, Zhou Wen used to be a playboy, so no matter how noble his status was, they would not treat him well.

However, Zhou Wen came to the ancient battlefield alone, killed the dimensional creatures that even they were helpless against, and saved the lives of their companions, immediately winning their respect.

"But I'm already here, right?" Zhou Wen looked at Liu Chengzhi and asked, "How far is it from where you encountered that dimensional creature?"

"It's still about ten miles away." Liu Chengzhi answered subconsciously.

"Captain Lu, if possible, let your men go back to the Blood River to provide support. You, Liu Chengzhi and I will move forward at full speed with light luggage. We must get the stone tools back in the shortest possible time." Zhou Wen said to Lu Yunxian.

For these legendary officers, being in such a place is tantamount to committing suicide.

"Master Wen, take us with you. We are not afraid of death and can explore the way for you."

"Master Wen, take us with you. We can help."

Before Lu Yunxian could say anything, the officers immediately started shouting, each of them extremely excited.

Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He really didn't understand what was wrong with these people. It seemed that struggling to die was a very glorious thing.

"Maybe that saying is true. What kind of general will lead what kind of soldiers. From people like Xu Wen and Lu Yunxian, we can imagine what kind of person their leader is." Zhou Wen suddenly felt that the man he never took seriously might be much more terrifying than he imagined.

Zhou Wen didn't know how a leader could make his soldiers willingly die. At least he couldn't do it, nor did he want to do it.

"Return to the Blood River immediately and prepare for support. This is an order." Lu Yunxian also knew that he had taken things for granted before. The legendary officers and their companion pets were of no use here, and the Yuanjin guns and cannons had almost no effect. Letting them stay would be tantamount to sending themselves to death.

He forced the officers to return the same way they came, leaving only Liu Chengzhi and Zhou Wen behind. Lu Yunxian then looked at Zhou Wen and said seriously, "Master Wen, I have something to ask you. Please answer me truthfully."
