Chapter 407: Rusty City Strange Stories
It's not a good weather today.
The night was as dark as ink. There was not even a star in the sky. The only light sources were the surrounding street lamps.
Jin Sheng was still sitting against the wall in a daze. Before he could say anything else, an afterimage that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye flashed before his eyes!
With the corners of Wang Ying's mouth raised high, she jumped up and suddenly fell towards the position where Jiang Huaique was. Her speed was so fast that people could not judge what her attack method was.
“clang!”
"Bang--"
A crisp collision sound and the sound of the ground cracking were heard at the same time.
Wang Ying's attack was like a meteor hitting the ground. Cracks appeared on the concrete floor near the plastic track. The rolling dust spread out like waves, and seemed to have substance under the light.
Jin Sheng's heart tightened and he staggered to his feet, holding on to the wall. His eyes fell on the center of the smoke and dust, and his pounding heart almost jumped out.
After a few seconds, he saw the current situation clearly and stood there in a daze.
The ground in the center of the dust couldn't bear the weight and a low pit was smashed out. Jiang Huaique stood in the middle of the pit with his feet apart, his body slightly bent, and his hands holding the Shadow of Death. His lips were tightly pursed, and the muscles on his exposed arms were clearly defined. At this moment, veins bulged due to the force, and it was obvious that he was using all his strength.
What stunned Jin Sheng was Wang Ying.
The petite girl was now standing straight on the handle of the sickle.
In complete contrast to Jiang Huaique's tense appearance, after the blow, Wang Ying acted as if nothing had happened and tilted her head to look at him teasingly.
"If I only have this much power, I can't even use my weapons."
She licked her fangs, narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and added, as if to convince herself, "It seems that the Joker's power is only so-so. I originally thought he could put up a fight. But you are very interesting. You were able to unlock the Lion's Eye in the first place... You are not afraid of me!"
Lion Eyes, Wang Ying’s only control skill.
If the opponent harbors even a hint of fear, he will be completely controlled and unable to escape.
At the end, Wang Ying's voice was tinged with excitement.
"It's been a long time since I met an opponent who is not afraid of me!" She launched the first attack just to test whether the opponent was worthy of her taking out her weapon.
Jiang Huai Que didn't say anything.
He swung the sickle with his backhand, responding to Wang Ying's question with his action.
He was clear about his abilities and goals. There was a huge disparity in strength between the two of them. Before victory, he could not spare any extra thoughts.
The movement of the landing point allowed Wang Ying to bounce back and land lightly.
Perhaps it was Jiang Huaiqie who finally aroused her interest. She stopped standing lazily in boredom and straightened her back.
"Come again, take the initiative to attack!"
She looked at Jiang Huai Partridge eagerly.
"You have no way out except to defeat me head-on!"
Jiang Huai exhaled a breath and nodded silently. Wang Ying's tentative attack was over, and it was his turn next!
“Shua…”
The shadow of the tree moved slightly, the sickle slid across the ground, and the blade rubbed against the concrete floor, creating sparks.
He exerted force on his feet and his figure was as fast as lightning. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, and appeared in front of Wang Ying like a ghost the next second! In just one breath, the sharp weapon scraped past the tip of Wang Ying's nose.
The girl retreated more than ten steps in a row. Jiang Huaique, holding the Shadow of Death, followed closely behind her and also attacked her more than ten times.
Just as she was about to retreat to the edge, Wang Ying nimbly dodged Jiang Huaique's attack by turning sideways and leaped to a position not far behind Jiang Huaique.
"Not bad for an attack." She restrained her smile, her face becoming more serious.
Wang Ying touched his wrist and said to Jiang Huaique: "You are worthy of me taking out my weapon, but you are not worthy of me using my most powerful weapon."
After she finished speaking, a white light flashed across her right hand.
A red sickle appeared in her hand.
It's not a tool, it's a skill.
Pulling out the same weapon in a fight, as if to teach the other party a lesson, is an obvious provocation.
But Jiang Huai Que remained silent.
The other party's sarcasm, contemptuous attitude, and provocative actions could not affect him at all.
Win! Win this battle!
Just as Wang Ying said, he had no way out except victory.
If the time for the two people to talk is not taken into account, the two rounds of attacks took only a few seconds. Before Jin Sheng could react, he saw two fighting shadows flash across the playground.
Too fast…
There is no possibility of intervening to help!
The light and shadow flickered, and the blade was sharp.
In Jiang Huaiqie's live broadcast room, the audience was similar to Jin Sheng, but they quickly found enough information from Wang Ying's words.
[Mother Jiang is so good at fighting? He can actually take the attack of the ghost lion? ]
[I think it's more terrifying that he can defend against Lion Eyes.]
[Indeed, looking at the marks on the ground, it is clear that the Ghost Lion did not use its full strength in the first attack. Players in the front row should be able to withstand this level of attack, but the back-and-forth between Jiang Ge and her was quite scary.]
[So the Joker is really dead... He really gave his power to Jiang Huai. ]
[Compared to whether Chou Ge lives or dies, I want to know more about why Gui Shi can use props? Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her use weapons before.]
[It's a skill, Ghost Lion's skill weapon transformation! ]
[The normal opponent is too weak. She doesn't need weapons at all. I think Jiang's mother deserves her death since she can use weapons.]
[Oh oh yeah, I remember now. She seemed to have used it before when she and Boss Gan went to fight the BOSS. However, her attacks were too powerful and she kept accidentally hurting Boss Gan, so Boss Gan forced her to disable it...]
Although Jiang Huaique took on the ghost lion's attack, no one thought he could win.
However, after just a few minutes, the topic in the live broadcast room shifted from the two of them to other places.
【886 friends, I won’t watch it anymore. 】
[I too... Ugh... This first-person perspective is so dizzying. How can there be a battle in this world with such a high attack frequency!]
[It’s different for me. I turned on the deceleration, 0.1 times the speed, so where am I now? ]
[+1 to the above, I also turned on the deceleration, but the problem now is that 0.1 times is not good enough... Jiang Huai's movements are speeding up! No, I have to change the perspective. ]
The battle continues.
The sound of weapons colliding and the ground cracking was endless, especially clear in the lonely darkness.
More than ten minutes later, when Wang Ying raised her arm again, swinging her weapon but only barely leaving a shallow blood mark on Jiang Huaique's arm, her expression changed.
"You are evolving... No, for humans, this should mean becoming stronger? Do humans really have such a strong learning ability?!"
Although learning in battle should be the norm, Wang Ying had never seen anyone who could figure out her attack route with the sickle in just a dozen minutes, and even her own movements went from being able to dodge at the beginning to barely counterattack in the later stages of dodging...
At this time, Jiang Huai Que's body was covered with wounds of varying depths.
Wang Ying's action of stopping gave him a moment to catch his breath.
He leaped back, his chest heaving violently, his clothes had long been torn to shreds in the battle. He raised his arm to wipe away the blood that splattered on the side of his face, and looked at Wang Ying, who had not had a single scratch so far.
"Want to change weapons?"
This was the first sentence Jiang Huaiqie said to Wang Ying since they met.
The girl was stunned for a moment and giggled a few times.
"Interesting! Very interesting! You are really interesting!" As the words fell, the sickle in Wang Ying's hand disappeared, and a long knife replaced the original long-handled sickle.
"Jiang Huai Que, please don't die."
"My knife will be faster than before!"
Wang Ying leaped forward with a long knife in hand, and using his speed and inertia to land heavily, launching a new attack with terrifying power.
Jiang Huai'er's pupils shrank slightly, and he managed to avoid Wang Ying's fall in the instant.
"Bang!!"
After a loud bang, more than half of the playground collapsed.
Although Jiang Huaique managed to dodge the frontal attack, he was thrown out by the huge impact force and smashed heavily into the wall.
After changing her weapon, Wang Ying's attack speed was more than one level faster than before, and her initially restrained attack power gradually increased. Most players would probably not be able to withstand even one hit from her.
When Jin Sheng rushed to the smashed wall, Jiang Huaique stood up from the rubble, staggering.
He didn't even glance at his teammates. He tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, then said in a hoarse voice, "Take your useless snacks and go to the factory area."
"Woof!"
Xiaoyi followed with a cry.
Jin Sheng was slightly stunned. By the time he realized that this sentence was directed at Xiao Yi and that the useless person was referring to him, Jiang Huai Que had already disappeared. The little golden retriever had already flown up and was pulling his collar from behind, trying to drag him away.
"I...I can't leave."
Jinsheng refused to leave.
Xiaoyi refused to give in.
"Woof!"
"I am your master, okay? What do you mean by send me to a safe zone and then come back to help..." Although he said this, Jin Sheng knew that he could not help at all here.
The battle was too intense and no one except the two sides could intervene.
Looking at Jiang Huaique, who was once again at a disadvantage and was completely suppressed, and almost getting more injured every time he was attacked, Jin Sheng hated himself for relying too much on his teammates.
"Think about it... think of a solution."
"I can't participate. Going will only cause trouble. If Brother Xu were here...what would Brother Xu do if he faced this situation?"
He no longer focused on the battlefield where there was no room for intervention. He hit his head with his only remaining hand and kept trying to think about what Xu Zhiyan would do if he were here.
Suddenly, Jin Sheng seemed to think of something and looked up to the other side of the school.
"Hospital, I remember there is a hospital there!"
Props have been banned, but medicines in the dungeon do not count as props.
Hemostatic drugs, adrenaline, stimulants...anything is fine, as long as it is a drug that is useful for the current situation!
He had to do something.
He must do something!
Time passes silently and fleetingly.
Only the battle continued as if it would never end.
Jiang Huai Que was knocked down again and again, with wounds piling up on his body and his slender body soaked in blood. The blood loss and serious injuries made his movements slow down.
Has your body reached its limit?
Suddenly, his keen five senses came into play and he detected a subtle sound. Jiang Huaique moved his ears, turned around and raised his arms.
There was a sound of "clang!" and the hilt of the knife blocked another round of attack.
The wound at the base of his thumb was cracked open repeatedly and blood gushed out. He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Ying who had fallen far away again. He raised his hand and wiped away the blood that was blocking his vision with the back of his hand.
Jiang Huai Que said, "Come again."
It doesn’t matter!
So what if your body has reached its limit?
As long as he is still standing, as long as he has breath left, the battle is still undecided!
at the same time.
Deep underground in the central square.
At the door of the secret room under the Brilliant Golden Mountain, Xinan had already walked down the stairs and entered the room. Perhaps he realized that Xu Zhiyan was about to leave, so he stopped there, quiet and silent.
When Xu Zhiyan walked to the door, Gan Mi, who was looking over at the side, couldn't help but speak.
"Are you sure you don't need my help? It's been so long now. If you rely on yourself alone, there might not even be any bodies left when you find them."
He raised his hand, and the pure white and crystal bubble moved closer to Xu Zhiyan.
"Special skill. You can return to the ground in three minutes. If you are lucky, you can even collect Jiang Huaique's body." Gan Mi explained with a hint of laziness in his tone.
He seemed to have accepted his fate and wanted to persuade Xu Zhiyan to accept his fate as well.
The young man, who had not spoken since the beginning, finally stopped after hearing this.
Xu Zhiyan turned around and faced Gan Mi who was standing behind him.
"Thank you, but I don't need it."
Gan Mi listened to the other party's distant words, subconsciously pursed her lips, and couldn't help but persuade: "I know this will be painful for you-"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Xu Zhiyan interrupted him.
"Gan Mi, what on earth are you imagining?"
The light from the vault fell from the entrance of the secret passage and landed on Xu Zhiyan, coating his entire body with a layer of golden light, and even his words became sonorous and powerful.
"Do you know why Jiang Huai Que was chosen by Yan Chengfan?"
The Jianghuai Partridge has a perfect body that is rarely seen in humans.
This is the reason for my sister's death, the beginning of hatred, an insurmountable gap on the road to awakening characteristics, a tragedy... and also a gift from God.
"He has a strong ability to learn and adapt. The stronger the opponent, the faster he will grow."
Xu Zhiyan met Gan Mi's eyes and spoke each word slowly.
"Wang Ying won't kill him easily. Guess what a person who pursues extreme combat will do when she finds out that her target has the potential to grow and surpass her?"
Gan Mi was stunned for a moment, but then he started laughing again.
"Xu Zhiyan, stop deceiving yourself."
"Even if Wang Ying pursues a hearty battle, it doesn't mean she will give up the mission... She has never given up any mission."
But after listening to it, Xu Zhiyan not only did not agree, but instead curled the corners of his mouth with sarcasm in his tone.
"You don't know your companions at all."
"But this is consistent with the mimic's arrogance."
He thought of the analysis he had obtained in the safe house, and he had a better understanding of Wang Ying.
"She respects her opponents and pursues the ultimate fight"
"Why do you think a person would seek out extremely strong opponents and try to do their best when fighting you?"
When he knew that his opponent was a mimetic, he asked Asa to retrieve all the mimetic records and all the information that could be collected, and compared them one by one, and made a rigorous and detailed analysis. To some extent, Xu Zhiyan might know Wang Ying better than other mimetic people.
Gan Mi was stunned.
Following Xu Zhiyan's words, he recalled Wang Ying's every move.
Yes, she was always looking for battles, whether it was players, monsters, or her own kind. And because humans were usually vulnerable, Wang Ying particularly liked to fight against powerful people of her own kind, and she would fight to the death every time, no matter in a dungeon, in the shell, or in the real world, she would fight anytime and anywhere.
No one likes to team up with Wang Ying. She has always been isolated from everyone and doesn't even have any human companions or followers.
Lonely, crazy, and hungry for battle.
"She's asking for death, Gan Mi."
"Can't you see?"
Xu Zhiyan's eyes were firm, and there was no fear or hesitation when he looked at Gan Mi.
"So Jiang Huai will definitely win."
"I trust him, just as he trusts me."
As long as Jiang Huaique grows fast enough, as long as he shows strong enough talent, the Ghost Lion will no longer be invincible.
While Xu Zhiyan and Gan Mi were talking, Jiang Huaique once again crawled out from the ruins on the playground that had been hit hard by the battle.
Even though his body was riddled with holes and his physical strength had reached its limit time and time again, even though his internal organs could not bear such a load and every breath brought him pain, even though the intense and vivid pain spread throughout his limbs and bones, making him almost collapse from the inside, he still stood firm.
"Come again!"
Jiang Huaique shook off the blood on the blade and spoke to Wang Ying again.
