Colorful Jade Waist (2)

Xia Shuxing was tied up tightly, unable to move his legs and feet, and unable to open his mouth, so he could only make whimpering sounds.

Yuan Huai didn't expect that Xia Shuxing would be hung upside down on the beam under the eaves in such an embarrassing posture. When he saw Xia Shuxing glaring at him and unable to do anything, he tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

Heaven has its own way of retribution, and no one can escape it.

This guy was like a fighting cock before, not taking them seriously. Now he has fallen into this situation. There is no sign of Jin Ze and Zhao Xin. He is probably in great danger.

"Should we save him?" Yuan Huai asked in a low voice.

Despite the disagreements, we are now teammates participating in the competition together. If we do not help the victim, the instructors will see it and we will definitely be severely criticized after the game.

"No rush." ​​Shi Jianxia slowly threw the last stone at Xia Shuxing's forehead, and then said in Yuan Huai's hesitant eyes: "Aren't you curious about what tied him up and hung him here like this?"

"He's quite powerful. The highest Zerg spawning on the map is only level three, and a level three Zerg wouldn't be able to take him down in such a short time."

"Yet he's in such a miserable state. He must have been ambushed or besieged. What are the Zerg trying to do by hanging him here? Drying him into bacon?"

Yuan Huai: ...You are quite good at describing things.

"What should we do now?" he hesitated.

"We can't act rashly. The Zerg that defeated Xia Shuxing might be nearby. If we act rashly, we could get ourselves into trouble."

Let him hang for a while.

Shi Jianxia finished speaking in a high-sounding manner, motioned Yuan Huai to get off the wall first, turned to look at Xia Shuxing who was still glaring at him, raised his hand and gave him a thumbs-up, then turned around and went down, not caring about his expression, and quickly jumped off the wall.

Yuan Huai didn't notice her little movement. He looked warily at the empty street and whispered, "Where are we going now?"

"Xia Shuxing and we took the opposite route, but he appeared in the town. This means that the stone road may lead to the town from both ends. The side we came in from is full of low-level parasites, so we can still deal with them. Xia Shuxing and the other two may have gone to the insect nest."

The biggest difference between parasitic Zerg and non-parasitic Zerg is that the larvae need to find a host to grow into adults. Zerg cannot parasitize those with mimicry abilities, but they can kill them and use them as food.

It was very strange that Xia Shuxing was hung up. It was definitely not possible that the Zerg wanted to dry him into bacon as she had lied about.

If you don't figure out what the Zerg want to do and just rush in, you will get caught in the back and you can just withdraw from the game.

"Do you think those white silks on Xia Shuxing's body are the silk spit out by spider-like insects? But most spider-like insects are non-parasitic insects." Yuan Huai held his chin in thought.

They hadn't encountered any parasites or Zerg along the way. The parasites they had seen before would only rush out to attack people after breaking into houses, as if the door was sealed and they couldn't get out unless someone broke it open.

Thinking of this, Yuan Huai looked around at the crowded houses on both sides of the street, and goose bumps appeared uncontrollably on his arms.

Were there no parasites in these rooms? They couldn't get out, so they must be spying on them through the cracks in the doors and windows.

Shi Jianxia's eyes lit up and he smiled with a row of neat white teeth.

Yuan Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that she had another bad idea in mind.

Shi Jianxia picked up the swarm of Zerg that was spinning around at her feet and said meaningfully, "If we go looking for them, we might not find any clues and might even get ourselves into trouble. But if we let the Zerg show up on their own, many problems can be easily solved."

Yuan Huai: "You mean..."

"Make the best use of everything." Shi Jianxia responded decisively.

Before Yuan Huai could react and put something to good use, he saw Shi Jianxia jump onto the wall again, and Bifang flew into the yard at her instruction.

The veins on Xia Shuxing's face that were bulging with anger had not yet subsided when he unexpectedly saw a red and blue bird. He was stunned at first, but when he turned around, he saw Xia lying on the wall, smiling like a flower.

An ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Bifang flew in front of Xia Shuxing and spewed out a flame, burning the white silk on his body and making it crackle. In just a few seconds, the silk quickly withered and turned into a black lump, sticking to Xia Shuxing's skin and emitting a disgusting stench.

Xia Shuxing is going crazy!

He struggled hard, and a humming sound came out of his mouth, but the flames burned upwards to his waist and abdomen, and did not free his mouth at all. No matter how angry he was, he could not say a word.

But soon, the white silk hanging on the beam melted due to the high temperature of the flame, and Xia Shuxing fell to the ground with a thud, feeling dizzy.

Seeing that the mission was almost completed, Bifang flapped its wings and flew towards Shi Jianxia.

The stench continued to ferment. Even Shi Jianxia, ​​who was half lying on the courtyard wall, could smell the disgusting smell. He quickly covered his nose and lowered his head, leaving only a pair of round eyes exposed to stare at the situation inside the courtyard wall.

Xia Shuxing fell to the ground, his legs freed, he immediately stood up and rushed out of the yard without thinking.

He ran a few steps, and a strand of white silk shot out from the upper right corner of the yard and firmly grabbed his left leg.

Shi Jianxia's eyelids twitched and he looked over immediately, but found that there was nothing there and the white silk seemed to appear out of thin air.

As she was shocked and surprised, another strand of white silk popped out from another corner of the courtyard wall and tied around Xia Shuxing's right leg. The head of the white silk quickly moved upwards and moved towards the center of the beam.

Xia Shuxing fell heavily to the ground and was dragged back to the beam, where he was about to be hung upside down again.

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Shi Jianxia decisively said, "Bifang! Zhuyan! Attack the thing that spits out white silk!"

She decisively jumped up from behind the courtyard wall, merged with the Thunder God to fight, used her mimicry talent [Thunderbolt] to form a long chain, wrapped it around Xia Shuxing's waist, and turned the thunder into a sharp blade to cut off the white silk wrapped around his body, and pulled him towards her.

Xia Shuxing's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly realized the situation. He kicked the ground and jumped onto the wall. "Let's go! The bugs in here are transparent. They are invisible to the naked eye and difficult to detect with mental power!"

Shi Jianxia controlled the lightning to weave a fine and dense net, which caught the things on the beams of the house. He decisively jumped off the wall, pulled the dazed Yuan Huai over, and ran in the direction they came from.

Xia Shuxing gritted his teeth and chose to follow the two.

Countless white silks shot out from the courtyard. Bifang spewed out a wall of fire, burning the white silks into curls and stinking. Due to excessive consumption, it turned into a streak of light and entered the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The rest of the guys didn't dare to delay and chased after Shi Jianxia and ran out of the town.

The silent town seemed to be unsealed. The houses on both sides of the street looked very cramped under the cover of mist. The tightly closed doors and windows were hit by the huge force, making a banging sound.

Yuan Huai was so frightened that he almost fainted. He trembled and said, "What happened? I feel like something in the room is about to run out."

The doors and windows were tightly closed, but the constant banging caused the dust that had been deposited for a long time to fall down. Some severely rotten wooden boards broke in two with a difficult creak. A hand that was so white that it was creepy suddenly grabbed out from inside, and its long black nails scratched the door panel, leaving a long scratch.

"Damn! What the hell is that?" Even Xia Shuxing, who was quite brave, was shocked.

Bang!

A door in front was smashed open, and a pale parasite in tattered clothes flew out. Its white teeth looked particularly terrifying in the dim light.

Xia Shuxing stepped heavily on the stone slab, and a Mosaic dragon totem appeared between his eyebrows. The clear sound of flowing water was still in his ears. The mist in the air quickly gathered to form a dark blue spear. The spear body was carved with clouds and mist, and a Mosaic dragon was swimming on it, with a fierce and powerful aura.

He held a spear in his hand and stabbed it with the force of thunder at the Zerg parasite that was crawling on the ground, bending over and jumping up. The tip of the spear was as cold and sharp as ice, like a Mosasaur emerging from the sea, and there was still a dragon's roar!

Yuan Huai exclaimed, "It's the Azure Sea Dragon Spear!"

Shi Jianxia raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it amazing?"

"Of course it's powerful! This is the Azure Sea Canglong Spear, ranked 13th on the Mimic Weapon List! The spear is made of Canglong bones and carries the power of the sea thunder. It's incredibly powerful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, white threads like the soul-binding chains of the Black and White Impermanence shot out from under the eaves and attacked Xia Shuxing, who had picked up the Zerg parasite with a gun.

Xia Shuxing was on guard, so of course he couldn't be tied up like before. He held the Bi Hai Cang Long Spear, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, and ordered the mist in the air to form a water curtain, firmly blocking the white silk flying from both sides. He then lifted the water curtain and tied the tail end of the white silk in it, and stabbed it into the ground with a spear.

To be honest, it's quite amazing.

But no matter how powerful you are, you can't defeat hundreds of bugs!

As the first batch of white silks were firmly nailed to the ground by Xia Shuxing, dense and sparse noises came from under the eaves, as if something was crawling quickly and rubbing off the thick dust on the beams.

This road is no longer passable.

Shi Jianxia blinked, "He's so strong, we should give him a chance to show his abilities. We, the little noobs, shouldn't get involved."

Yuan Huai felt that what she said made sense, but also felt that something was a little strange.

Before he could think carefully, Shi Jianxia shouted loudly: "The parasite's weak point is in the head. If you break it, it won't be able to get up."

Hearing this, Xia Shuxing tilted his head slightly and glanced at Shi Jianxia, ​​who had a pair of jade horns on her forehead. He was a little surprised, obviously not expecting her to remind him.

But in just a few seconds, more white silk popped out from under the eaves, not only targeting Xia Shuxing, but also Shi Jianxia and the others.

The noise in the house was getting louder and louder. The Zerg parasites broke through the tightly closed doors and windows, bared their teeth, stretched their necks, and rushed forward!

Shi Jianxia grabbed the terrified Yuan Huai and whispered, "Let's not get in the way here, the two of us. Let's retreat first!"

"Ah?" Yuan Huai responded foolishly and was dragged into the other street by her.

Xia Shuxing noticed the hurried footsteps behind him, his eyelids jumped, and he turned back from the break in the fight, just in time to see the two men turning around and running away.

He nearly fell backwards in anger.

The comparison between these two dishes is indeed unreliable!

He also wanted to retreat, but more and more white silks were ejected from the eaves. The invisible Zerg obviously regarded him as their main hunting target and did not chase Shi Jianxia and Yuan Huai who were escaping.

-

"I... huh... are we going to sell Xia Shuxing out like this?" Yuan Huai asked while panting.

Shi Jianxia raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm giving Xia Shuxing a chance to show his strength. He's so powerful, he will be fine. At most, he will be tied up and hung up again. At worst, we can rescue him later."

Yuan Huai: “…”

It was the first time he had seen someone talk about selling out teammates in such a refreshing and refined way.

But... there's really no point in him staying there, and he might even be tied up and taken back with the group.

Yuan Huai thought about how he was tied up from head to toe and hung upside down on the beam of the house. He felt as if the blood in his brain was flowing backwards.

He shook his head vigorously.

No, no, he is not a tough guy like Xia Shuxing, how can he endure this kind of "torture"?

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, but was suddenly stopped by Shi Jianxia.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Huai asked in confusion.

"Do you think something is wrong on this street?" Shi Jianxia curled his fingers slightly.

"What's wrong? Isn't it very safe? There's nothing here--" Before he could finish his words, Yuan Huai suddenly realized that something was wrong, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

The streets next to it were so noisy, but this street seemed as if nothing had happened. It still had the same "peaceful and peaceful" look as before, which was obviously not normal.

From time to time, the street behind the two of them could hear the sound of Xia Shuxing fighting with the Zerg parasites. Xia was seen throwing the thunder core in his hand towards the closed door in the front right.

With a loud bang, the thunder core blew the rotten wooden door into pieces. Amidst the raging electric arcs, a parasite shivering in a corner of the house was reflected.

At the same time, a strong sense of crisis locked onto Shi Jianxia.

She turned her head suddenly and saw a staggering figure appear in the mist.

The person who came was wearing a colorful gauze skirt, her long black hair fell to her waist, her skin was as white as if it had been painted with lime, her eyebrows and eyelashes had all fallen out, her pale face looked like she had no face at all, her original appearance was completely unrecognizable, her eyes were rolled up, and only the horrible whites of her eyes could be seen.

Yuan Huai was frightened and hid behind Shi Jianxia.

Level 2 or level 3?

Can’t beat him!

Shi Jianxia lowered his voice and said, "When I shout 'run' later, you turn around and run immediately. Don't look back!"

Yuan Huai nodded repeatedly.

Ho-ho! Ho-ho!

An eerie sound like bones grinding on stone came from the front.

Yuan Huai clenched his fists, his mind tense to the extreme.

Shi Jianxia clenched the four thunder cores in his hands and threw them forward without saying a word.

The thunder core flew out more than ten meters away, and was about to hit the parasite. Suddenly, a white thread shot out like a sharp steel blade, and a cold white light shot down from the tip, cutting the four thunder cores into two halves on the same plane!

Boom!

The thunder core exploded, and the electric arc crackled, spreading around in an instant along the wet mist in the air.

Shi Jianxia shouted, "Run!"

Yuan Huai turned around and ran away without looking back, his legs almost swinging out a shadowless step.

Shi Jianxia was not much behind and rushed out dozens of meters away.

Behind the two of them, electric arcs were like viruses in the data world, spreading rapidly across the streets through the humid air and ground. Naturally, they ignored the extremely sharp white silk threads and indiscriminately attacked the Zerg parasites wearing colorful gauze skirts.

The electric arc touched its bare ankles, twisting and climbing upwards along the water stains on its skin.

-

We're around the corner!

Xia He and Yuan Huai turned decisively, and from a distance of more than ten meters, they met the eyes of Xia Shuxing, who was being chased and fleeing in a panic.

Xia Shuxing's hair was soaked, sticking to his face and shoulders. His left hand was tightly entangled in white silk, and he looked quite disheveled.

What a coincidence.

Xia Shuxing twitched his lips and gritted his teeth, "Why are you back again?"

Shi Jianxia said confidently: "I really can't bear to leave you here alone."

Yuan Huai: “…”

Who believes this nonsense?

Xia Shuxing certainly didn't believe it. His underdeveloped brain finally came up with some ideas, and he gloated, "Have you run into a more troublesome guy?"

"You are laughing so happily? Can you handle it?" Shi Jianxia raised his eyebrows.

Xia Shuxing's smile froze.

"If you can't deal with it, don't show off." Shi Jianxia said coolly.

Xia Shuxing was almost mad with anger. He didn't understand how a foodie could be so confident?

He sneered, "Can you handle it?"

"I have a way to leave here." Shi Jianxia vowed.

Yuan Huai looked suspicious.

If she had a way to leave, why would she need to run around the streets?

"What method?" Xia Shuxing asked.

Shi Jianxia walked towards Xia Shu with his hands behind his back, leading his little tail Yuan Huai.

Xia Shuxing frowned. He could already hear the sounds of the insects moving behind him. He said impatiently, "If you have a plan, tell me now! If we get caught, this game will be over!"

Shi Jianxia walked up to him and stretched out his fist. Yuan Huai looked at him curiously.

He spread his palm upwards, revealing a thunder core filled with powerful energy.

Xia Shuxing and Yuan Huai were both stunned.

Bang!

The thunder core suddenly exploded, and Xia Shuxing and Yuan Huai, who were at the center of the explosion, had their health bars reduced to zero on the spot, and turned into data fragments and disappeared.

All the instructors outside the stadium were stunned, except Nanyuan who raised his eyebrows.

Shi Jianxia was immune to lightning damage, and the explosion had no effect on her at all. The blue-purple arcs of electricity moved quietly through the wet mist.

She took out the basic equipment that every contestant must have from her backpack - a dagger, and stabbed it into her heart without hesitation, and turned herself into data fragments and disappeared.

Since this military training results acceptance competition was the first simulation competition that the military academies participated in in the Xuan Tower, the system adjusted the pain sensitivity to 0%, so no matter what kind of injury the contestants suffered, they would not feel any pain, and Shi Jianxia stabbed without any burden.

The instructors outside the field were even more stunned. Nanyuan laughed out loud, "The little girl is quite decisive."

Shi Jianxia's move brought himself and his two teammates back to the starting point, saving them from the predicament of being tied up like silkworm pupae by the Zerg parasites.

It's not a particularly ingenious method; everyone can think of it, but most people may not be so decisive.

The chief instructor held his forehead, unsure how to comment.

Fortunately, this is a simulation competition in the Xuan Tower. If it were real, these three little bastards would definitely kill themselves.

Knowing that the town was full of dangers, he dared to lure the snake out of its hole without any guarantee. He was so bold.

Shi Jianxia completely treated this as a game, rather than a real competition, which was the most taboo thing in the Xuanta simulation training ground.

The simulated training ground allows military cadets to have countless opportunities to try again, which is a good thing. However, if they are used to making mistakes and being able to start over in the simulated map, it will make some people's thinking dull, and once they encounter the same situation in reality, it will have very bad consequences.

Of course, the instructors don’t have such high expectations for the freshmen, but the thinking tendencies shown by Shi Jianxia are worrying.

-

In the arena, Shi Jianxia sat cross-legged on the back of the unicorn, allowing Xia Shuxing to glare at him and curse at him.

Yuan Huai looked at Shi Jianxia, ​​who didn't take Xia Shuxing seriously at all, and then looked at Xia Shuxing, who was scolding him with all his heart and face flushed with anger. He whispered, "In that situation, there was no other way except to commit suicide and return. We can't let the Zerg in town tie us up and take us back, right?"

"Besides, Xia Shuxing, you couldn't escape when you were tied up. If Jianxia and I were caught again, we would definitely not be able to escape."

The words Xia Shuxing hadn't spoken were stuck in his throat, his face flushed almost the color of liver, his mind full of Yuan Huai's words, 'Xia Shuxing, you couldn't escape when you were tied up', instantly bringing him back to the scene not long ago where he was hung miserably upside down under the beam, allowing Shi Jianxia to throw stones at his face, and he felt even more aggrieved.

Shi Jianxia was holding Xiaoxiao, occasionally stroking its soft fur, and asked absentmindedly, "Where are Jin Ze and Zhao Xin?"

Yuan Huai clapped his hands. "That's right! Xia Shuxing! Didn't Jin Ze and Zhao Xin go with you? Why are you the only one tied up?"

Xia Shuxing: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know either."

"After separating from you, we walked along the cobblestone path. Not long after, we came across a field of flowers, and then we were attacked by Baisi."

"It happened so suddenly that I was knocked unconscious before I could even use my mimicry talent. When I woke up—"

Xia Shuxing woke up and didn't say anything for a long time. His face was even redder than before.

I don’t know if I was angry or annoyed, or maybe both.

"When I woke up, I was hanging upside down on the beam." Shi Jianxia slowly took over the second half of his words, the main point being that when you quarrel, you must expose others' shortcomings, and when you hit someone, you must slap them in the face.

"You!" Xia Shuxing said angrily.

Shi Jianxia looked down at him from the unicorn's back, "Me? What? I saved you, why don't you even say thank you?"

Yuan Huai: “…”

He finally realized that when it comes to making people angry, ten Xia Shuxings are no match for one Shi Jianxia.

Unfortunately, Xia Shuxing seemed to have not realized it yet.

"Alright, you're so petty about such a small matter. You're so narrow-minded." Shi Jianxia Yan finished his concise evaluation and continued in front of Xia Shuxing's wide eyes, "To put it simply, you don't know where Jin Ze and Zhao Xin are now."

Xia Shuxing: "..."

Yuan Huai said hurriedly: "They may also be hanging somewhere in the town. Has your mimicry found any trace of them?"

Shi Jianxia shook his head, "I didn't see them, I only saw this burden."

Yuan Huai: “…”

You are really worthy of being called such a person. You are still trying to be sarcastic at this time.

Xia Shuxing clenched his fists and sneered.

No one paid any attention to him.

Shi Jianxia jumped down from the unicorn's back and said, "When I was rescuing this guy just now, I caught a transparent insect with a lightning net. It was about the length of a finger and had a soft body, a bit like a silkworm."

Yuan Huai instantly got goosebumps and suppressed his nausea, saying, "Why are they transparent? I've never heard of any parasitic insect species that are transparent."

Shi Jianxia and Xia Shuxing had never heard of them.

Such a special Zerg should be easy to remember and will also be used as an example in teaching.

Shi Jianxia had finished the basic course offered by the Association, which introduced many Zerg species, but not this one.

"How is your mimicry recovering? How many times can it be used?" Shi Jianxia raised his chin to Yuan Huai.

Yuan Huai's face suddenly fell. "It can only be used three to five times at the moment. You want me to find the weakness of those transparent Zerg? It's unlikely. Besides, we can't see those bugs at all, so how can we find their weakness?"

Shi Jianxia turned her gaze to Xia Shuxing. When Xia Shuxing looked at her, she smiled with curved eyebrows, looking simple and innocent.

When these five words popped up in Yuan Huai's mind, he immediately cursed in his heart.

Shi Jianxia played Xia Shuxing around in circles. How could the two extremely pure words "simple" and "innocent" be applied to her?

"What do you want to do?" Xia Shuxing asked warily.

Shi Jianxia said calmly, "It's been almost two hours since the start of the competition. The check-in point will refresh in about an hour. Where do you think the first check-in point will refresh?"

Xia Shuxing's thoughts were instantly distracted by her, and he hesitated and said, "In the town?"

Shi Jianxia touched her hand and said, "Since the competition has a check-in session, do you think it's really as simple as just using fifty points to check in?"

Yuan Huaifu was deeply moved. "You mean, the instructors will set up the check-in points in relatively dangerous places? For example, the house where Xia Shuxing was hung upside down?"

Xia Shuxing: "..."

He can't get over the fact that he was hung upside down, right?

Shi Jianxia gave a thumbs up.

"But now that we've revitalized the town, it's impossible for us to sneak in and punch in." Yuan Huai said worriedly.

Shi Jianxia: "No rush, the check-in point will refresh in more than an hour, and it won't disappear. We don't have enough points to check in now, so we have to save some first."

Having said that, she looked at Xia Shuxing with a smile and said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "Xiao Shu, Yuan Huai and I are both weaklings in the battle, so it's up to you to accumulate points."

Before Xia Shuxing had time to retreat, he was surrounded by the gangsters.

Holding Xiaoxiao in his arms, Shi Jianxia was like a bandit who had just come down from the mountains. He waved his hand and said, "The great task of accumulating points and finding the weakness of the transparent Zerg is now entrusted to you."

"Hey guys! Lift up, let's go fishing for bugs in the flower fields! Oh no... to earn points!"

Just as Xia Shuxing was about to struggle, dozens of small hills suddenly appeared, covering half of the sky.

Xia Shuxing: "..."

Yuan Huai: “…”
