Chapter 179 Tearing the Divine Art
Inside Babao Village.
“Haha~”
A warrior yawned and said:
"Nothing will happen tonight, right?"
"Who knows? Now we don't even know what stole the statue." The warrior at the side sighed and said, "Patrol carefully. It would be good if nothing goes wrong tonight. If something does happen, we will have a hard time explaining it..."
"When will this life of day and night turning upside down end? Sigh."
They have to patrol all night long every day and don't have much time to rest during the day. Even warriors with strong physiques can't stand it.
They haven't had a good rest for a long time.
It was already late at night, and some warriors were feeling dazed.
suddenly--
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
A slightly excited roar broke the tranquility of the night.
"Catch a thief?"
"The murderer has been found?!"
"NND! Finally caught him!"
The warriors were cheered up and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
Of course, not all warriors went there.
They were not familiar with this roar and did not know who made it. They could not rule out the possibility that it was a trick devised by the 'thief' himself to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so only half of the warriors stationed in Babao Village had actually gone.
The other half quickly shrinks the patrol circle.
The villagers were awakened by the roar. Some of them stuck their heads out to take a look, then picked up their hoes and axes and walked out of their homes.
"Fellow villagers, what are you doing outside..." The warriors who stayed behind stared at the villagers in a daze.
The villagers raised their weapons and said, "The thief has been caught, right? Let's help protect the statue and see what kind of bastard dares to steal the statue from our village!"
The warriors were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They said, "Fellow villagers, we are still not sure whether it is a real thief or the enemy is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. You should go home first. It is not safe now..."
"It's okay, we won't bother you." The villagers said, "You haven't had much rest in a few days, we have seen it all.
We are all rough people, we haven't been to school, and we are not strong in martial arts, but we do know some farming skills and have some strength, so if anything happens, we can help you."
“Really, there’s no need…”
"We'll just watch from the sidelines," said a young villager. "The holy statue has always been protecting us, and we want to protect it, too!"
"That's fine! Let's defend it together!"
…
…
The warriors had been living a life of day and night reversal during this period, and had been filled with anger for a long time. Now that the situation had emerged, they used their body skills and ran very fast.
In just a moment, he rushed to the source of the sound.
Then they froze.
Under the moonlight, a golden "holy statue" was grabbing a group of constantly surging shadows and tearing them apart, as if trying to keep the shadows behind, while shouting excitedly "Catch the thief, catch the thief".
The shadow struggled to escape, even piercing through the body of the 'holy image' time and time again, without any hindrance in the entire process, but it was caught by the 'holy image' and could not break free.
The strange sound of "jili gurgling" continued, and anyone could hear the anger and frustration coming from the sound.
"You guys are here!" Ji Ruo turned around and saw that the warriors had already arrived nearby. He immediately said happily: "Come quickly, come quickly, I have caught this guy. He seems to have used some kind of ability to ignore physical damage and contact... I can't do anything to him right now, but he probably won't be able to hold on for much longer, you guys wait!"
"Jiligulu! (Damn it! Let me go, let me go!)"
The shadow struggled and roared continuously.
The warriors looked at each other.
A warrior who had been on duty at the blockade checkpoint of Babaozhai during the day felt that Ji Ruo's voice sounded familiar. Although this "holy statue" was golden, it also looked familiar.
The main thing is that the two wooden sticks on Ji Ruo's back are very conspicuous.
He asked hesitantly, "This... holy image? Are you the graduate of the First Martial Arts School who came here during the day?"
"Yes, it's me, hehe, I helped you catch the thief!"
The warriors discussed in low voices for a while, and then slowly approached.
Kali, who had transformed into a shadow, felt that the effect of the divine magic had begun to gradually fade away. He looked at the warriors who had gathered around him and felt extremely panicked.
He didn't know how that Jin Cancan guy caught him in the divine state, but the current situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer.
"Jigu! Jigu! (Damn it! Damn it!)"
Carley became furious and finally gave up the idea of escaping unscathed.
"Jili Gulu! (My God, the mission is completed! Please come back!)"
Suddenly——
A strange wave spread out, and a crack of indescribable color appeared above Kali, sucking him in by force.
"Want to run?!"
Ji Ruo roared: "Get down from me!"
The strong intention made the friction of his half-finger gloves even stronger, and Ji Ruo tried his best to pull Kali off.
But the suction of the rift was too strong. Although Ji Ruo had officially started practicing "physical martial arts" with the help of the school teachers, he still found it difficult to resist the terrifying suction.
What was strange was that although the suction of the rift was strong, it did not affect anything outside the shadows, not even a blade of grass.
However, Ji Ruo refused to let go and was forcibly dragged into the crevice by the shadow.
"Do it!"
Although the warriors were still unclear about the specific situation, they could not afford to hesitate any longer. They rushed forward one after another and tried to catch Ji Ruo who had already started to soar into the air.
"Come down!"
The warriors roared and used their Thousand Jin Throw skills one after another.
They pulled each other, and star shadows gathered above the warriors' heads, as if they had formed a small galaxy.
Kali's rising momentum was finally controlled, and he began to panic - the rift's suction on him became stronger and stronger, and he felt like he was about to be torn apart!
Finally——
“Tear——”
A strange tearing sound was heard.
The shadow of Kali's incarnation was suddenly torn apart, and even Kali's clothes in that area were torn, revealing his strong abdominal muscles.
Ji Ruo fell to the ground grabbing a small piece of shadow, while Kali was sucked into the crevice with his abdominal muscles exposed.
The cracks healed instantly.
"Damn it! He actually got away!"
Ji Ruo pinched the small shadow fiercely. Perhaps because it had lost its main carrier, the shadow was slowly dissipating.
"Was that a thief?" a warrior asked. He looked at Ji Ruo and didn't know how to address him for a moment: "This...Comrade Saint Statue..."
"My name is Ji Ruo."
Ji Ruo said: "The one just now was a thief. I pretended to be a saint and waited here for a long time. Finally, they took the bait. I didn't expect that he would still get away!" M. cascoo
"Disguised as a saint..."
The warriors opened their mouths, and they all smelled the strong smell of paint on Ji Ruo.
This guy... is really smart...
"It's a pity indeed... Did you recognize what kind of demon it was?"
"Demon? No."
Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "They seem to be people... Oh, I've already caught one. Everyone follow me."
The golden-haired young man led the warriors back to the place where Ji Ruo had encountered the "thief" before.
The thief named Qiao Xi didn't seem to be very strong. He was still paralyzed and lying on the ground shaking.
The thief was wearing a set of tight leather armor, which perfectly showed off her graceful figure.
In the moonlight, Qiao Xi was still trembling slightly, with white foam remaining at the corners of her mouth.
Blond hair and blue eyes.
