Chapter 79 Acid Rain
The image of the statue was very strange. It was a slightly long wooden statue, with tentacles carved all over it from head to tail. In the middle of the tentacles on the head of the statue, there was a single yellow eye, and on the tentacles at the tail of the statue were several smaller eyes.
Just by taking a glance from a distance, one can seem to sense the eerie, crazy aura emanating from the statue.
This feeling... is exactly the same as the feeling that the statue of the Bethida sect gave Gu Nian.
A ragged girl was holding the statue high in her hand and praying.
Gu Nian and Yue Jian walked over.
When the girl saw the strangers coming, she took back the statue and looked at the two of them warily.
Gu Nian smiled and extended his hand to her, saying, "Hello."
The girl saw that her behavior was not aggressive, and her expression softened. "What is it?"
"Excuse me, which god are you praying to?" Gu Nian asked.
The girl's face showed fear. She said, "I believe in the God of Natural Disasters. He is the embodiment of the universe's malice. He is incomprehensible, indescribable, and cannot be looked at directly. Anyone who does not believe in him will be punished by him. The reason why we are experiencing all this pain is because everyone has forgotten the God of Natural Disasters."
When she said this, the girl's body trembled slightly, and her fingers were dug into her palms tightly, and blood flowed from her palms. It seemed that she was really afraid of this so-called god of natural disasters.
Using fear to develop and manipulate believers. Gu Nian's face turned cold. How similar is this to the Bethida sect!
Gu Nian asked: "If I want to listen to the doctrine of the God of Natural Disaster, where can I go?"
The girl looked at them uncertainly. Those who believed in the God of Natural Disasters were all poor people at the bottom of society, but Gu Nian and Yue Jian... didn't look like poor people at all.
Gu Nian handed the girl a handful of spirit crystals: "If you are willing to be my guide, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
The girl looked at the handful of glittering spirit crystals in her hand. She knew what they were. They were the crystallization of spirit power in the bodies of evolved beasts, and they were also the currency used by evolvers. They could buy the homeless girl a place to stay and warm food.
The girl could not resist such temptation. She said quickly, "There will be a religious gathering in the night watchman's hut in the east of the city in three days. You can come at that time."
Gu Nian handed the spirit crystal to her.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened and a strong wind blew, so strong that an echo could be heard throughout the dilapidated street.
Gu Nian looked up and saw that the originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, and roars and screams of beasts could be heard in the distance.
?
This sound... is it a beast attack?
Yuejian said, "From the sound, it seems to be on the outskirts of the city. Let's go over and take a look."
"Okay." Gu Nian said.
Along the way, there were people fleeing from outside the city to seek refuge in the city. The two of them went against the flow of people and hurried to the outskirts of the city.
On the outskirts of the city, forty or fifty monsters are besieging Ancheng!
These monsters are exactly the same as the ones Gu Nian encountered when he entered the city!
So many monsters appeared in just one day! Behind these monsters, there was a huge dragon that was at least ten meters long. The dragon was just hovering on the ground, looking at them with a pair of yellow pupils as big as lanterns, which made people feel very oppressive.
The official army of Ancheng has come out to resist, and these evolvers are trying their best to stop the monsters. The monsters are coming fiercely, and the evolvers have the advantage of terrain. The two sides are in a stalemate for a while, but in a short period of time, the monsters cannot break through the evolutionists' spinning thread.
The dragon that was watching from a distance was a cause for concern. It was obvious that this dragon was powerful enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Gu Nian also saw Xu Can among the people defending nearby. Xu Can also saw Gu Nian.
Gu Nian walked over and asked Xu Can: "What's going on with that dragon? Why does it look like the leader of these monsters?"
Xu Can explained: "I mentioned this to you yesterday, didn't I? Ancheng has been attacked by monsters recently. Every time an attack comes, this evil dragon will appear, but it only watches from a distance and never joins the battle."
As soon as Xu Can finished speaking, the dragon that had been lying down suddenly stood up and let out a series of fierce roars. The dragon's roar exploded in everyone's ears, and some weaker evolvers left traces of blood on their eardrums.
Gu Nian looked at Xu Can with a subtle expression. Did this girl activate the crow mouth buff recently? How come something happens as expected?
Xu Can also found it hard to believe. What was going on?
But now is not the time to joke.
The dragon roared several times, then suddenly rose up and circled in the air. Gu Nian subconsciously looked up, and wait, along with the shrill dragon roar, dark clouds in the sky suddenly gathered.
One drop, two drops, the rain began to fall.
No one takes the rain seriously until it touches the skin.
The moment the skin touched the rain, I felt a burning pain!
There is something wrong with this rain!
The moment Gu Nian came into contact with the rain, her alarm bells immediately went off. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and now her skin was burning. What if the rain accidentally entered her fragile eyes?
At this time, Yue Jian took off his coat, covered Gu Nian with it, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!"
When they were in Haicheng, the Aurora team stripped a lot of sea monsters' furs, and when Yuejian was in the Cuiwei Mountain Shelter, he made a few coats for himself at night when he had nothing to do. It was originally a game to kill time, but now it has become a life-saving straw.
The sea monster's skin was extremely thick, and its defense was already maxed out. In addition, the surface of the sea monster's skin was smooth, so it was difficult for rain to stay. Gu Nian also knew that now was not the time to talk, so he immediately lifted up one side of his coat and rushed into the city with Yue Jian.
Gu Nian originally wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain, but Yue Jian said solemnly, "Go straight back to the camp. This matter is not that simple. I have a bad feeling."
Gu Nian's heart skipped a beat. When a fortune teller says he has a bad premonition, it's best to believe it.
The two stopped talking and hurried on. They were moving very fast, and the situation was critical at the moment, so they moved even faster, trying to walk under the eaves where there was shelter.
After sneaking at high speed, in less than ten minutes, the two finally rushed back to the camp.
Tu Jing came forward and asked, "How is it?"
Yue Jian put down his coat, and Gu Nian saw that his right wrist and entire palm were covered with burn marks.
Gu Nian was stunned at first, and when she reacted, she didn't know what she felt. Yue Jian gave most of his coat to her, and she held back a sound, which was why she got hurt.
But now is not the time to be entangled. When Tu Jing saw this, he immediately went to get the first aid kit. Gu Nian quickly used clean gauze to absorb the rain water from Yue Jian's wound, and then began to rinse it with a lot of soapy water.
Beads of sweat rolled down Yuejian's forehead, and the blood on his tightly bitten lips was gone. The wound corroded by the acid rain was piercing with pain.
Finally, after dealing with the acid rain, Gu Nian applied medicine to his wound and wrapped him up with gauze. The medicine with painkillers began to take effect, and Yue Jian finally felt better.
The two changed their dirty clothes again.
Gu Nian only had time to ask Tu Jing: "Has everyone returned?"
Members of the Aurora Team are all around the city today to learn about the situation, and all members are acting in dispersed positions.
Tu Jing said: "Everyone was in the city today and rushed back as soon as it started to rain. But three people came back too late and their skin surface was burned by the rain, which reduced their combat effectiveness."
Today, the golden falcons were resting in the open space outside the camp. When the acid rain came, they cleverly folded their wings and hid in the building, thus avoiding the disaster. Now that she knew that the members of the Aurora team had returned, Gu Nian was relieved. She asked again, "How is Chi Qin doing?"
Chi Qin and the others were on their way. Gu Nian was worried that if acid rain came, Chi Qin would lead the team out of the city. How could they find shelter in time? They were all killed before they could reunite.
Tu Jing said, "As soon as the acid rain started, I contacted Chi Qin. They are still 500 kilometers away from Ancheng. They didn't encounter the acid rain, so they are now stationed there and will come back when we get news."
Looking at the Moon Mirror, Tu Jing added: "I also contacted the Jing family. They are farther away from Ancheng, so don't worry."
Gu Nian praised him generously, saying, "Well done!" It really saves trouble to have a subordinate who can share the burden.
Tu Jing was also quite happy. Her acquaintance with Gu Nian was far from pleasant, and what she had done before was not glorious. Compared with Chi Qin, who came from a good family, Tu Jing was always full of a sense of crisis. She had already made up her mind to hold on to Gu Nian's golden thigh, so she did her best.
The house they live in now is a four-story building.
Gu Nian went to the fourth floor and looked out of the window.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and some rain was coming in through the cracks in the window. At first, no one paid any attention to the rain that was coming in.
However, just ten minutes later, when the rain came in again, the window frame suddenly appeared white, making a crackling sound, and a large piece of it was corroded away.
The acidity is simply appalling!
Everyone in the room was ready. Tu Jing wore three layers of protective gloves, stepped forward and carefully sucked up a drop of rainwater with a test tube and dropped it on the test paper.
The test paper shows that the pH value of rainwater has reached 2.5! This is already in the range of concentrated sulfuric acid!
When seeing this pH value, everyone fell silent.
What is falling outside is no longer acid rain, but concentrated sulfuric acid.
Gu Nian was even more frightened. Just now when she and Yue Jian were in the suburbs, the rain only stung slightly when it hit the surface of the skin. She didn't expect that the acidity would become stronger and stronger as time went by! If she and Yue Jian hadn't rushed all the way, they would probably have to be baptized by concentrated sulfuric acid outside!
It is not difficult to imagine the miserable situation of those who have not entered the shelter.
Gu Nian ordered, "Use sea monster skin to seal all the window gaps. No one should live on the fourth floor anymore. Everyone should move down to the third floor. Arrange some more people to make protective gear with sea monster skin."
Tu Jing immediately arranged for people to take action.
It was raining sulfuric acid outside, but the roof gave people a sense of security. This house could definitely last until tomorrow.
What Gu Nian was more worried about was the suburbs.
When she and Yue Jian were hiding in the city, the official evolvers who were fighting the monsters were also running around. Xu Can seemed stunned and didn't know how to deal with it. If the official evolvers were messed up, what would the monsters do?
When the acid rain falls, do the monsters just leave, or do they continue to attack the city?
If they continue to attack the city, then when the official evolvers flee in all directions, these monsters will cause serious damage to Ancheng.
We can only know all this after the acid rain stops.
