Chapter 184 The End of Red Moon
“Bang!”
Number Two slapped Lu Xiaozhao to the ground and turned away, gritting his teeth in hatred. Damn human, how dare they play tricks on him!
Second? What second? That sounds so ugly!
Lu Xiaozhao covered his face and was surprised to find that the other person's beating didn't hurt at all, at least not as much as Lu Yan's beating. He flexed his teeth and got up from the ground, cursing: "Humph, you are so fierce, I shouldn't call you the second one, I should call you the sixth one!"
Lu Xiaozhao didn't want to stay in this hellhole any longer. Lu Yan was recruiting soldiers to deal with the vagrants. What if the priest threatened Lu Yan with him? Escape, you must find a way to escape!
However, this cave is full of twists and turns and is extremely complex. After studying it for several days, Lu Xiaozhao discovered that the priest's soul was dormant in the magma at the entrance of the cave. Countless wanderers surrounded him to protect him, and escaping was harder than climbing to the sky.
"You will die even if you escape. The priest has not yet taken out the trace of his spiritual consciousness hidden in you. The most important thing you should do now is to find a way to solve this problem."
Although Lu Xiaozhao is a reincarnation, he is still a human being in essence. He needs to eat and drink water. Every day, a wanderer comes in to bring him food. The voice of the wanderer who brought him food today sounded very gentle, like a little girl. Seeing that Lu Xiaozhao was always trying to escape, she finally couldn't help but remind him.
Lu Xiaozhao was startled when he heard this, and looked suspicious: "Who are you?"
The black mist remained silent upon hearing this. The air around her began to tremble slowly. Her figure suddenly became longer and thinner, and finally transformed into a pretty girl who looked strangely familiar:
"My name is Arou, and Xing Yuan asked me to save you."
Lu Xiaozhao always had a good memory for beautiful women. He stared at Ah Rou for a while, and finally seemed to remember something. He pointed at her in surprise and said, "You, you, you... aren't you the wanderer who was caught by the patrol team in the hotel before?"
He thought the other person had died a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.
"Tsk."
Xiaorou made a gesture to silence him: "I can't stay in there any longer, or I will be recognized. The red moon is almost gone. You must find a way to let the priest take out the remaining consciousness in your body, so that I can notify Xing Yuan and others to come and rescue you."
Lu Xiaozhao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He lowered his voice and said, "I want it too, but how can I get him to take it out for me?"
Ah Rou pondered for a moment: "The priest values your body very much. He hasn't taken out the consciousness yet. He is just worried that you will escape. How about this..."
After she finished speaking, she quietly approached Lu Xiaozhao's ear and whispered something, then shot another strand of black energy into his body: "Although I don't know if this method will work, it's better to try it than to do nothing."
The wanderers in the cave all showed their true forms. Arouyubi turned into a ball of black mist again and left this cell which was not really a cell, leaving Lu Xiaozhao alone behind, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
After a long time, No. 2 finally came here again. He didn't want to see the hateful human Lu Xiaozhao at all, but if the other party died, it would be inconvenient for him to report to Xing Yuan, so he came here to confirm whether he was dead or alive.
"Tsk, it looks like you're having a good time here, and you've even gained a little weight."
Number Two transformed into a human form, leaning against the cave entrance. His face was very similar to Xing Yuan, but not quite the same when you looked closely, as he looked a little too feminine. Lu Xiaozhao was eating, but when he saw this, he immediately put down his bowl and walked over, looking at Number Two with sparkling eyes, with a bit of flattery: "Number Two, you're finally here. I was wrong about what happened last time. Can I apologize to you?"
Number Two got annoyed when he heard him calling his name: "No!"
Lu Xiaozhao was stunned: "Why?"
Number Two was annoyed: "No means no, there is no reason."
Lu Xiaozhao was still very clever at the critical moment: "Do you think it's not nice for me to call you Lao Er? How about this, I'll help you choose a new name, and you can have the same surname as me, Lu."
After hearing this, No. 2 finally looked at him and was slightly moved, but a little unconvinced: "Why should I take your last name?"
Lu Xiaozhao: "Then just pick a surname for yourself, any of the Hundred Family Surnames."
Number Two smacked his lips upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "My last name is Xing."
He and Xing Yuan are brothers. The elder brother's surname is Xing, so of course the younger brother must also have the surname Xing.
Lu Xiaozhao suddenly realized: "That's right, you and Xing Yuan look so much alike, you must be related, just take his last name, his name is Xing Yuan, then you can be called Xing Bo."
Number Two, who had never been to school, frowned and asked, "Why is he called Xing Yuan and I have to be called Xing Bo?"
Lu Xiaozhao explained seriously: "The combination of your two names means profound knowledge, how great! Believe me, I am a college student, this name is great."
Number Two didn't know if this name was good or not, but it sounded better than Number Two. He frowned and said nothing. Before he could decide whether to accept this name, Lu Xiaozhao suddenly came up to him and said, "You and Xing Yuan are relatives. You are a good person. You will definitely help me, right?"
Number Two glanced at him with a half-smile: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Lu Xiaozhao hesitated: "If, I mean if, the priest took out the trace of consciousness in my body, can you help me escape?"
He was originally hidden in the illusion space by No. 2, and no one found him. If he had the other party's help, it would be much easier to escape.
Number Two thought Lu Xiaozhao was really fanciful, but considering that he had given him the name, he still perfunctorily said, "Okay, when you die, I will be responsible for taking your body out."
Lu Xiaozhao was not angry when he heard this. Seeing that No. 2 was talking softly, he smiled and said, "Then it's settled!"
At first, No. 2 didn't know what Lu Yan was going to do. Until the evening, a burst of human wailing and screaming suddenly came from the cave. A low-level wanderer dragged Lu Xiaozhao out of the cave and threw him heavily in front of the magma pool, with a slightly panicked tone:
[Oh no, priest, something seems to be wrong with this reincarnated body! ]
I saw that Lu Xiaozhao's body had turned into "half human, half demon", with a human upper body and a black tail in the lower body. His face turned red, and his tail grew bigger and smaller like a balloon, as if it would burst at any time.
“Gulp—”
The originally calm red magma suddenly bubbled up, and a ball of invisible light and shadow slowly floated out from it. The hunched figure of an old man was looming. Although his face could not be seen clearly, it seemed as if a pair of sharp eyes were staring at Lu Xiaozhao.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiaozhao didn't even look at him. He just rolled on the ground with his head down, groaning in pain: "My stomach! Why does it hurt so much? It feels like it's going to explode!"
He acted very convincingly, even banging his head against the ground several times, until blood came out. He looked as if he was in so much pain that he would rather die than live: "Kill me! Kill me! My head hurts so much!"
Number Two hid in the dark, thinking that this was what Lu Xiaozhao was planning. He was disdainful in his heart, but he still flew forward and said, "Priest, is it possible that the little bit of consciousness you have left in this human body can no longer be suppressed?"
In fact, it was just that Ah Rou merged a strand of her own aura into Lu Xiaozhao's body that day. The two auras were restless and both wanted to devour each other, fighting each other in his body, which created the illusion that he was about to explode and die.
The priest seemed to sigh when he heard this. His voice was old and he could not hide his disappointment. "Humans are lowly and greedy, and their bodies are so fragile. I thought he could hold on until the reincarnation ceremony, but I didn't expect him to be unable to do so now."
As soon as the priest finished speaking, his originally thin and old body suddenly swelled up, getting higher and higher, and bigger and bigger, almost reaching the hole above. A sharp gasp came from his throat, and a strong wind blew towards Lu Xiaozhao's head.
Lu Xiaozhao only felt a suction force suddenly coming from his crown, as if the force was going to suck his brain away. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he looked panicked. However, the forces all around him restrained him and made him unable to move.
In full view of everyone, a thread of scarlet blood slowly emerged from Lu Xiaozhao's body, like a piece of crystal clear glass. It was the priest's consciousness. As this thread of consciousness was withdrawn, Lu Xiaozhao's originally black tail instantly turned into a pair of legs, and he was completely restored to being a human being.
"Bang--!"
Lu Xiaozhao fell heavily to the ground. This time he was in so much pain that he couldn't get up. He felt as if half of his soul had been forcibly taken away. His whole body was in pain, and his brain was like it had rusted and couldn't turn around.
After the priest took back his own spiritual consciousness, his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said calmly:
"Keep an eye on this reincarnated body and don't let him escape."
"yes."
Number Two took the job on his own initiative. He rolled up his body and carried the almost unconscious Lu Xiaozhao into the cave. The priest's body sank back into the deep magma to sleep.
Lu Xiaozhao was still conscious. He endured the pain and grabbed No. 2's body. The black mist felt cool to the touch, which finally made his burning skin feel a little better. He spoke with difficulty:
"Xing...Xing Bo...Can you help me think of a way to rescue me?"
Number Two looked at him and said the same thing: "Okay, then just die soon. I'll take you out when you die."
Lu Xiaozhao was so weak that he was half dead. Hearing this, he instantly came back to life. He glared at Xing Bo and said, "How can you be like this? You don't have any sympathy at all?!"
Number Two said as a matter of course: "I am not a human, I am a wanderer."
There would be no benefit for him if he saved Lu Xiaozhao. Instead, he would be hunted down by the priest. Why would he be so foolish as to save people? It was good enough for him to help act in front of the priest just now.
Lu Xiaozhao was so angry that his liver ached when he heard this, but then he changed his mind and thought that at least he had taken out his consciousness, so it wasn't in vain. He might as well stay here and wait for Lu Yan to rescue him. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know I can't count on you. When my brother comes, he will raze this place to the ground sooner or later."
Number Two transformed into a human form, leaning against the cave entrance like a boneless person. Hearing this, he smiled but didn't smile, and said with disdain: "No matter how powerful your brother is, he is still a human being. How can he defeat so many wanderers?"
Lu Xiaozhao gritted his teeth and said, "My brother is a lightning element, fifth level! Fifth level!"
Number Two laughed so hard that his shoulders shook: "What a coincidence, my brother is also a lightning type, level six."
Isn't he just a brother? Who doesn't have a brother? Ha~
They were arguing in the cave, but they didn't know that Xiaorou had already gone back with the news. The priest had taken out the consciousness in Lu Xiaozhao's body and could rescue him at any time.
During this time, Lu Yan has been transforming superpowers non-stop. The original five-element team has gradually expanded into a seven-element team, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and ice. Except for the thunder element, which still only has him and Xing Yuan, other superpower teams already have quite a few members. They practice superpowers on time every day, hunt wanderers, and will be able to fight when the war comes.
When Xing Yuan received Xiao Rou's message, he jumped down the defense wall immediately to find Lu Yan, regardless of the fact that Lu Yan was still in team training.
Lu Yan saw Xing Yuan from a distance, subconsciously stopped what he was doing, and took Xing Yuan to a secluded corner: "Why do you have time to come and see me today?"
Xing Yuan told him the news and added, "Lu Xiaozhao is no longer in danger. We can rescue him at any time."
Lu Yan was slightly surprised to hear that. He was surprised to find that things were going so smoothly. He finally smiled after being tense for several days, unable to hide his surprise: "Really?!"
Xing Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his dissatisfaction visible to the naked eye: "Why, you don't believe me?"
Lu Yan rubbed Xing Yuan's head vigorously, with a faint smile on his face: "Don't make trouble, I just want to confirm it."
Xing Yuan curled his lips, but suddenly dropped a bombshell: "There is another piece of news. The monitoring institute has finally released the results."
Lu Yan was puzzled: "What is the result?"
Xing Yuan said nothing, but pointed to the dark sky without saying a word, his expression suddenly serious and solemn: "The red moon will disappear in three days."
A bolt from the blue!!!
