Two minutes ago.
Human circle, north side.
A figure carrying a heavy black box was speeding through the vast desert.
Beads of sweat slid down Leng Xuan's face, flying yellow sand stuck to his eyelashes, and his eyes narrowed uncontrollably, but even so, his feet did not slow down at all.
"This old fox..." Leng Xuan muttered to himself.
During this time, Leng Xuan had been searching the "human circle" for the locations of the mass graves set up by Loki, but even though he captured almost all the church bishops and questioned them in every way, he only found the locations of two mass graves.
According to Leng Xuan's count, the city-state, which originally had a population of about 40,000, now has only a scattered 10,000 people left, which means that another 10,000 people have disappeared out of thin air.
Leng Xuan could guess that it was probably because Loki didn't trust these church bishops. After letting them complete two burial grounds, he secretly took away 10,000 people and secretly arranged a third burial ground for 10,000 people! ..
Leng Xuan searched almost every corner of the "human circle" and finally found some clues on the edge of the desert on the north side.
As Leng Xuan continued to move forward, a few black spots appeared faintly at the end of the desert.
He raised the telescope and saw the ruins of a stone city almost buried in yellow sand, standing tall in the howling wind and sand, dead silent and magnificent.
"Found it..."
…
Lost Stone City.
The pitch-black crows circled above the wreckage buried in the yellow sand, and their shrill cries seemed to tear one's eardrums apart.
Countless rotting corpses were piled up like a hill, and the stench mixed with the smell of blood filled every corner of the stone city.
At the top of the pile of corpses, the body of a little boy of four or five years old had been eaten beyond recognition by crows. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the boy's body rolled down from the top of the pile of corpses. A strange blood-stained stone platform was exposed to the air.
Mysterious black threads carved out a complex pattern on the top of the mountain of corpses. In the howling wind, the pattern gradually lit up, and an eerie and strange aura spread throughout the entire stone city.
Black threads spread from the patterns, madly snatching the flesh and blood from the surrounding corpses. The tens of thousands of corpses piled high shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the figure of a man quickly emerged from the void above the mountain of corpses!
The heat wave rolled, and the mountain of corpses turned into smoke and dust in the blink of an eye and dissipated without a trace. The figure of the man that emerged from nothingness had been mostly restored.
Loki's pale face was filled with coldness and cruelty, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he whispered in a deep voice:
"Xiao Nan... hehe..."
His upper body was repaired, and countless silk threads began to weave his legs. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, something strange happened!
A dazzling bright red flare whizzed into the sky, and dozens of kilometers away from Loki, a figure pulled the trigger.
Bang--!!
At the edge of the ruins of the stone city, a loud thunderclap sounded!
A deep and dim bullet pierced through space and instantly flashed in front of Loki from dozens of kilometers away, with surging divine power rolling out from the bullet head.
With the bullet as the center, the space within a hundred meters was torn apart, rolling up an extremely fine and sharp vortex, which instantly crushed the surrounding yellow sand and debris into powder... and at the tip of the vortex was Loki!
Loki's pupils suddenly contracted!
The speed of the bullet was too fast, and he, who had not yet completed his resurrection, had no time to mobilize his divine power and weave a "trick".
The bullet tore through space and whizzed past Loki's body, which had not yet been repaired, leaving a big hole in his body, which had been repaired to his knees. All the flesh and blood below his neck was instantly turned into blood foam and dissipated in mid-air!
Loki, with only his head left, opened his eyes wide and looked in a certain direction of the stone city swept by yellow sand.
"It's you?!" he growled.
Dozens of kilometers away, a dark red heavy sniper rifle weighing 200 kilograms was set up on top of the tallest wreckage like a turret. The divine power on its surface was receding like the tide. From the pitch-black muzzle, pungent, hot red smoke rose slowly.
Snap——!
The bolt was pulled, and a dark golden shell was thrown high from the hot barrel.
The smooth shell in the sunlight reflected a calm and stern face, which was buried behind the sniper scope, motionless like a stone sculpture.
There was a slight rustling sound, and the shell sank into the thick sand, with wisps of white smoke rising from the hot surface.
"Got you... Loki."
Leng Xuan hooked his finger on the trigger, looked at the incomplete figure locked in the sniper scope, and muttered to himself.
Loki, with only his head left, was suspended in mid-air, his eyes fixed in the direction of Leng Xuan. Strands of flesh and blood condensed from nothingness, slowly reshaping his body.
The sniper rifle made by the God of Forging, although each bullet fired was equivalent to a main god-level artifact, it did not contain any laws. Even if it could smash Loki's body into pieces, it could not kill him.
It is only a matter of time before Loki recovers.
"No wonder there has been no news from you for so long... So you've been hiding in the 'human circle'?" Loki asked coldly, "Are you also part of Si Xiaonan's plan?"
Loki's voice was not loud, but it seemed to be able to penetrate the space and fall clearly into Leng Xuan's ears.
Leng Xuan did not answer. He narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger again!
Bang--!!
Thunderous gunshots rang out, and the next moment, Loki's body, which had just recovered halfway, exploded again, along with the "trick" thread that he had secretly outlined behind him, turning into debris all over the sky, splashing on the yellow sand.
Seeing that his "trick" was discovered by Leng Xuan, Loki's face showed anger:
"Leng Xuan, do you really think that doing this can change anything?
You can't kill me with that gun... If I'm not mistaken, you only have seven bullets in your hand?
After these bullets are fired, what else can you use to stop me?"
Leng Xuan pulled the bolt, and another hot shell was ejected. He put his eyes on the sniper scope with an expressionless face, watching Loki's every move.
He could see Loki's body gradually returning to normal, and his finger on the trigger slowly exerted force, but he never fired the third bullet.
Loki was right. He only had seven bullets in his hand, so he had to control the interval between each shot reasonably to delay time as much as possible while ensuring that Loki could not completely repair his body.
Loki's flesh and blood formed half of his body again. A cruel look flashed in his eyes. He did not choose to weave another "trick", but directly urged the half of his body to pounce towards Leng Xuan in the distance like a hideous evil ghost!
