Chapter 057 Chapter 57

"I know what to do!" Zhu Changan clenched his right fist and smashed it on the palm of his left hand, his eyes lit up: "As long as we take down its home, it will no longer be able to absorb the energy below."

"Good idea." Shen Liuxue took a few steps back and distanced himself from the Bone Dragon: "But where is the pen?"

Now they only knew that the center of the array was in the artificial lake. Finding a pen in such a large lake was like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that there was a "dragon tamer" in the sky watching them eagerly.

"Hit the bone dragon first, then break the formation." Mo Xuanji said as he released a wind blade towards the bone dragon's forehead. The dragon's tail swung over again, and the wind blade collided with the bones, ultimately only cutting off a small section of the bones.

After the fierce battle just now, and the bone dragon's unrestrained charge, most of its body was in pieces, with only its head and main trunk barely intact.

The damage to the bone dragon seemed irreversible, and even Qiyi did not make any move to repair it. In this case, unless he planned to save energy and repair a new one after it was completely destroyed, it would be impossible to repair it.

There is a difference between not wanting to repair and not being able to repair. Judging from this weird behavior, it can only be the second case.

The three exchanged glances and focused their fire on the bone dragon again. As for the weirdo, they could only leave it alone for now before pinching its power bank, only defending and not attacking. But even so, this guy's attack was really a headache.

The strange creature was hovering in the air, gazing at them with pride. Although it had lost a puppet this time because it underestimated the enemy, it didn't matter. As long as it could hand over the kid below, even if he wasn't the one, the messenger of God would definitely reward him.

"Hey, big brother, you've been here alone for twenty years, isn't it boring?" Zhu Changan is a melee fighter and can't hit the bone dragon, so he starts to draw weird hatred to help his companions share the firepower.

He is actually very good at talking nonsense and stirring up hatred.

He sneered strangely: "Bored? How could I be bored? For the sake of God's great cause, this little sacrifice is worth it."

"But you have given so much to God, and yet God doesn't care about you at all." As soon as these words came out, the three of them immediately noticed the temperature around them drop sharply.

"Look, they left you here alone with nothing. Did God care about you? For more than 20 years, you couldn't go anywhere except this dilapidated campus? In order to avoid the detection of the Ability Bureau system, you could only hide in the strange domain on weekdays, and you didn't even dare to release puppets. It sounds so pitiful."

Zhu Changan still had that harmless expression on his face, his eyes were sincere, full of pity and sympathy, as if he truly felt sorry for it.

To be honest, after knowing him for so long, this was the first time that Mo Xuanji saw his aggressive side. Zhu Changan was just like what the netizens on the forum described him as, with high emotional intelligence and nice words. Sometimes he looked simple and innocent, like a warm-hearted little golden retriever.

But now the golden retriever has changed, he has become darker and more shabby.

System, get off Chang'an!

System: “…” It’s wronged.

Shen Liuxue's feet also slipped.

The monster was furious. Perhaps Zhu Changan had hit on something. It launched an even more violent attack while shouting, "Nonsense! God has clearly been paying attention to me all along. I am His most loyal believer. He cannot possibly lie to me!"

It can be seen that this time the strange thing has really broken through the defense. Every attack will shatter the bones on the ground into pieces, but the accuracy is still not very good.

"If it weren't for His blessing, how could I have become so powerful so quickly!"

"But you have become strong with the power of those ghosts below. Without these ghosts, you are nothing, right?" Zhu Changan mercilessly peeled off the last bit of its fig leaf.

"Shut up!" Countless ink marks rushed towards Zhu Changan like crazy.

"Wow, your defense is so easy to break. I haven't even said anything yet." Zhu Changan jumped up and down to avoid the attacks.

"Because when he died, he was still an adolescent and fragile high school boy, right?" Shen Liuxue added.

"Oh, I see." Zhu Changan suddenly realized, so he stepped up his attack: "You just boasted that you are a genius, but now it seems that it is not the case. With such a huge energy source, it took you twenty years to barely get an S."

"Let me tell you, we met an SS some time ago. He was much more motivated than you. He had no energy source and relied entirely on himself. He rose from the lowest level D to SS in just one year. Look at him, and then look at you. How can you have the nerve to call yourself a genius?" Such cold words jumped out of Zhu Chang'an's mouth at 37 degrees, and every word was heartbreaking.

"Can you learn from other people's weirdness and not be so easily arrogant and complacent, okay?" This sentence is even more deadly.

"Other people's children" is definitely a minefield for a fragile and sensitive teenager. Although it has lived for another twenty years, due to long-term lack of contact with society, its mind is still stuck at the time of its death. It seems that there is nothing wrong with calling it a little kid.

Zhu Changan, who has already grown up, gave Qieyi a wise look.

"Where did you hear these words of speech?" Mo Xuanji finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Changan scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "My grandfather said so."

"I'm talking nonsense. I'm obviously a genius! It's not me who's wrong, it's the world!"

"What a classic middle school quote." The three of them tapped their toes silently.

The monster had gone mad, and used all kinds of skills to attack the three people crazily. The bone dragon, who was a teammate, was unable to dodge and was hit by a ball of ink, and his body lost balance instantly.

"What a great opportunity!"

Mo Xuanji used the wind to lift Shen Liuxue up. Shen Liuxue held the sword in one hand and performed sword techniques with his left hand. A layer of cold air covered the sword.

"Break!" With a light cry, the tip of the sword accurately pierced the crystal on the bone dragon's forehead.

The hardness of the crystals was unexpectedly strong, and Shen Liuxue's sword only made a small crack in it.

It's broken, it didn't work. Shen Liuxue fell down helplessly, but fortunately, in the next second, Mo Xuanji's Fengling connected with her attack. A cyan light chased and pierced into the gap. The strange sensed something and was startled, but it was too late for it to stop it.

The force used to compress the appearance dissipated, and the violent wind element exploded instantly, forming a tornado in the air, breaking the bone dragon's skull into pieces.

"No--!"

Without the blessing of the crystal, the bone dragon turned back into a pile of ordinary white bones, falling down from the sky. Zhu Changan was hit by the bones before he could dodge, and a bump appeared on his forehead.

"Help... Saying harsh words will bring retribution, wuwuwu." Zhu Changan covered his mouth and ran away from the scene with tears in his eyes.

The tornado grew bigger and bigger, and the rain of paper money that was originally a hindrance became the best help. Shen Liuxue used his supernatural power to freeze the strange leg. Although it was only for one second, it was enough for the tornado to hit it.

Qiyi was covered in the face by the rush of paper money and struggled futilely.

It can't open its eyes, it can't open its eyes at all. Although it can't cause much harm to it, it can make it temporarily lose its vision and ability to move.

According to the plan, Zhu Changan took advantage of the chaos and ran towards the artificial lake.

"Wow, this has to be about the same size as the one in school, right?" Zhu Changan muttered to himself.

The paper money in the strange realm corresponded to the water in the outside world. What appeared in front of Zhu Changan was a big pit filled with white paper. He took a deep breath and jumped in.

There was a loud bang, and a pile of white paper flew up.

Not sure if it was because it had been compressed, but Mo Xuanji always felt that the color of the tornado was a little darker.

Because of that little bit of ingenuity, he had been working on it for a month. Although he still hadn't figured out a skill that could save energy, he unexpectedly gained a skill that was both mobile and had high damage. This was the one he had now, but it consumed a lot of energy. The explosion of the bone dragon just now consumed nearly a quarter of his mana.

Fortunately, the effect is gratifying.

Mo Xuanji and Shen Liuxue stood side by side. Qiyi was blinded by the white paper and didn't notice that one person was missing.

It swung the brush angrily, and a ball of ink half a person's height fell heavily.

The two of them quickly dodged in different directions. This time, the strange student was smart. After the ink ball exploded on the ground, it split into several small groups and followed them. It seemed that it was equipped with automatic tracking. Although the speed was not fast, it was impossible to get rid of it.

After running for a while, Mo Xuanji quickly turned around and kicked out a wind blade. The green wind flow and the black ink ball collided and canceled each other out. He fell back to the ground and keenly discovered that the sound of stepping on the bones here was different, as if it was a little empty. Several bones in the distance seemed to be pulled and moved silently.

Don't let this be a trap. Mo Xuanji thought, and subconsciously took a step forward.

Shen Liuxue was a little frightened at this time. The drop of ink penetrated her ice shield and knocked her far away.

"Leave snow!"

"Ahem... I'm fine." Shen Liuxue held his ribs and managed to stand up, holding on to his sword. Judging from the pain, one of his ribs must have been broken.

Inside the artificial lake, Zhu Changan had no idea what was happening outside. He was almost going crazy using his special powers.

He only knew that the eye of the array was at the bottom of the lake, but it was impossible to find it in such a big lake. If it was water, it would be fine, at least the water is transparent, and you can see what is within a few meters at a glance. But now the lake is full of opaque paper, and the difficulty of finding things has increased dozens of times.

Just when he was getting extremely anxious, a gray hand suddenly appeared and tugged at his sleeve.

Zhu Changan was startled and turned around quickly. When he saw the man's appearance clearly, he almost screamed out.

This was a gray ghost, just like the ones they had seen before, with an erratic figure, but this one was lighter in color, as if it would disappear in the next second.

The ghosts have lost their ability to think, and even as a formation they are trapped and unable to leave those places. So where did this one come from? No, this is not the most important question. The point is that its appearance is exactly the same as the weird one above.

Unlike it, the ghost had a peaceful face and was filled with sorrow. It was wearing a washed-out school uniform with a few patches on it, which made it look extremely simple before it was born. Perhaps it was related to the way it died, as it was soaking wet and dripping with water.

It bowed deeply to Zhu Changan, its lips kept opening and closing, but it could not make any sound. Zhu Changan tried to decipher for a long time before he found that it said the three words "I'm sorry".

Suddenly, a guess exploded in his mind like a bolt from the blue.

"How is it possible... If you are the student back then, then who is that person above? Who is the water ghost being controlled as a puppet outside?" Zhu Changan opened his mouth wide and looked at the ghost in front of him in disbelief. The amount of information was too much, and his brain was about to crash.

The ghost couldn't answer, it could only slowly make a few mouth shapes: follow, me, come.

Zhu Changan looked at him and suddenly felt a little choked up. He followed the ghost through the paper waves, and finally, the ghost brought him to a small altar.

A emerald green brush was inserted on the altar, emitting ominous black air.

As he got closer, Zhu Changan could clearly see that there were many runes engraved on the pen, and there was even a logo unique to the Superpower Bureau at the end.

There is no doubt that this was once a magical weapon, and it even came from the Bureau of Superpowers.

Zhu Changan took a deep breath, wrapped his hands with his supernatural powers, and then reached out for the brush.

The strange creature sensed something and its entire face twisted. It left the two of them behind and floated towards the artificial lake.

Mo Xuanji and Shen Liuxue looked at each other and no longer held back their strength.

Mo Xuanji raised his hand, and a thin stream of green light rushed towards the strange. The strange was in a hurry to leave and was not on guard. Mo Xuanji watched the thin needle penetrate into the strange body and then explode.

Half of the body of the strange creature was blown off. But the phantom of the brush was still in its hand. It increased the speed of absorbing power, and reshaped its body again with the energy of those souls, recovering to its peak state.

Oops, gotta stop it!

Shen Liuxue had already drawn his sword and chased after him. Seeing this, Mo Xuanji raised his hand and condensed a thin needle again. Perhaps it was compressed to the extreme, and the cyan wind element was faintly mixed with some aqua blue.

This color is a little bit wrong, isn't it? A trace of doubt flashed through his mind. Without time to think about it, he immediately aimed at the strange release skill, but the next second, the needle dissipated uncontrollably.

It seemed as if someone had pushed him hard from behind. Mo Xuanji lowered his head subconsciously and found a black bone spur on his chest.

"Xuan Ji!" Shen Liuxue's anxious and frightened voice came into his ears.

Mo Xuanji only felt a chill in his chest, and after several seconds, a heart-wrenching pain came from his left chest. He staggered uncontrollably and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was careless, the bone dragon was not completely dead. A dark bone spur grew out from a piece of bone dragon fragment, and took advantage of Mo Xuanji's lack of defense to pierce his entire chest from the back.

The strange creature showed a smug smile when seeing this, and quickly ran towards the artificial lake.

Shen Liuxue wanted to rush over to check on Mo Xuanji, but she also knew that she could not let Qiyi leave the battlefield now. If she let it succeed, not only would their efforts be wasted, but Zhu Changan would also suffer.

"Liuxue... hold it." Blood kept gushing out of his mouth.

This is really heart-wrenching. Mo Xuanji smiled bitterly. He felt unspeakable pain every time he took a breath, but it was the pain that allowed him to stay awake.

He stretched out his hand and grasped the bone spur sticking out of his chest, his palm dyed red with blood. In a trance, Mo Xuanji's consciousness seemed to have entered a mysterious state. His mind moved slightly, and his blood instantly ignited a fiery red flame.

The white bones on the ground kept shaking.

“This aura…”

The flames ignited everything around them. Amid the screams, a black shadow emerged from the bone spurs. Its face was twisted in pain and its features could not be seen clearly. Mo Xuanji's intuition told him that this was the puppet.

A second before the black shadow dissipated, Mo Xuanji saw it form a spell.

The bone spurs disappeared along with the shadow, and without support, Mo Xuanji immediately fell to his knees. He looked at the blood on his hands, as if he was getting to know his body for the first time.

Feathers can ignite fire, but can blood also do so?

In the residual light, he saw some blue light coming from his chest.

"What?"
