There was a violent explosion in the sky, and dazzling white light pierced the sky, followed by a burst of eye-burning red, dispelling the surrounding darkness——
It was a red humanoid creature, wrapped in flames, with a large pile of broken rocks behind it, and an almost transparent little girl in front of it.
His expression was dull, his eyes were lifeless, and his body made of water swayed slightly under the impact of the heavy rain, looming as if it might be washed away by the heavy rain at any time.
The flying raindrops kept falling, but they all evaporated the moment they touched the flames. The flames became more and more fierce, causing a vacuum zone to form around He Shang. There was no chill brought by the heavy rain at all, only the heart-stopping heat.
.
He Shang wiped his forehead and glanced behind him from the corner of his eye. He saw that several figures had already disappeared in the heavy rain. Then he felt slightly relieved and began to look at the transparent girl in front of him.
This guy can be regarded as a person with the ability to control water. As a person who controls fire, logically speaking, he should not fight her in the heavy rain. However, the opponent's fighting thinking seems to be very sharp, and he calmly opened the cave.
Destroyed and moved the battlefield into this heavy rain.
If he hadn't discovered it in time, everyone in Huangquan might not have been buried under the cave, but the cave's collapse would have definitely caused a lot of trouble, especially when there were two injured people on their side.
After learning that the heavy rain itself was not too harmful, He Shang immediately ordered separate operations.
Since Acheng said that this girl came to hunt him, then the first target would only be himself, and he would not care too much about other people before that.
The water-shaped corpses that the girl saw before were just accidental encounters by the girl on the road. They were infections caused by the overflow of power and were not caused by her own initiative.
——This is a terrible force.
He Shang looked at the transparent girl in front of him. Although there was no sparkle in her eyes, it did not mean that the other party was a fool. The reason why the other party did not attack was not only because of his own slowness, but also because he was waiting for an opportunity.
The air became more and more humid, and the two faced each other for a long time.
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind He Shang.
"The target's codename is 'Shui Ran'. It has the ability to control all states of water. It can fully mobilize its own temperature to arbitrarily transform between the three states of solid, liquid and gas. It is almost immortal. Once it is infiltrated by the water on the target, it will be destroyed.
Infected and turned into a water-shaped corpse——"
"I have to say, Lord Yama, this guy's ability really restrains you."
He Shang didn't look back, he knew very well that it was Acheng's voice, and except for Acheng who specifically stayed to help him fight, everyone else had already left.
Ah Cheng was sitting under a small awning made of mud, holding a laptop in his arms. He had already exited the state of absolute calm, pushed up his glasses, and a gleam of worry flashed in his eyes.
This girl's ability is really terrifying. Her immortal body and ability to infect are like a human-shaped source of virus infection. She can infect wherever she goes. If left untreated, most of the people in the safe zone will be turned into water.
corpse.
However, this guy is extremely difficult to deal with. Not only is the immortal body difficult to deal with, but it is basically impossible to get close to her if you want to fight her. And as a being that can change at will between solid, liquid and gas, it is difficult to trap her by conventional means.
It can't be killed or trapped. It's so invulnerable that even an S-class transcendent would scream "troublesome" after seeing it.
And such a guy is used as a hunter to hunt Lord Yama...
Compared to him, He Shang, the client, looked calm.
What Acheng said is right. This girl's ability is indeed very restrained - he is good at using the high temperature of flames to attack the enemy, and his immortality has always been the basis for his attacks without scruples. However, the opponent is not only not afraid of the high temperature,
The terrifying infection ability may even threaten one's own immortality.
If the opponent's desire to attack wasn't relatively dull, I might not have the time to observe the opponent at this moment.
"No wonder you say you are a hunter born just for me..."
He Shang smiled bitterly in his heart, not knowing whether this was an honor or not, but the heavy rain kept falling, and even the communication was interrupted, so he could not ask about the status of other Yamas.
"Have you thought of a solution?" he asked.
"I'm sorry." Cheng's tone was a little low, "At present, besides trapping the target, I can't think of any better way."
"fine."
Acheng hesitated before speaking: "There is another way, and that is to wait until the heavy rain is over - the information obtained from [Sketch] tells me that these monsters can only exist in heavy rain, and will disappear when the heavy rain is over!"
He Shang looked at the dark and oppressive sky. The heavy raindrops were like hailstones. It was obviously impossible to end in a short time, so he said half-jokingly: "This is good news, but it may be a bit difficult to implement."
——He is immortal, not infinite physical strength.
The transparent girl opposite kept tilting her head and looking at him with no intention of taking action.
The only weakness of this guy is that his desire to move is relatively slow. To put it bluntly, his skill swing is relatively long.
Acheng was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try to use [Sketch] again!"
"No need, that would be too much of a burden for you. Besides, you've just looked carefully enough. I'm afraid there's only so much information on this guy." He Shang chuckled.
"But……"
He Shang interrupted him with a free and easy expression: "No, this guy's ability is indeed more restrained than mine, but it's not that easy for me to do anything about, and it's not that time yet."
Acheng sighed slightly, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master Yan Luo, did you think of any way to let You Ji and the others take the program to Wuji City?"
"That's right."
"The origin of the Lord of Wuji City is mysterious. He may indeed know how to remove Shuiran's infection ability, but we have no friendship with him. We can even say we are hostile to each other..."
"The Wuji Library claims to hide all the secrets in the world. There may be a way to deal with water stains hidden in it, but that is just a rumor. The Wuji Library is not that magical..."
Ah Cheng thought He Shang had these two ideas in mind, and immediately thought about the feasibility of the method.
Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else in Wuji City that could help them remove the infection from the program.
He Shang didn't answer.
He didn't know if his idea was right, or if You Ji could successfully persuade the tombkeeper.
But rather than waiting, he still prefers to try as much as possible.
"Click."
At this moment, the surrounding rain seemed to have decreased a little, and the temperature continued to drop.
Acheng's eyes narrowed, and he saw the gradually freezing raindrops around him, as well as the girl who slowly raised her head not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yama! Here he comes!"
He Shang's expression was as usual, but the fire on his body was even more intense, like a ball of flowing hot magma. Not to mention raindrops, even the ground under his feet was gradually melting.
"Um."
Heavy rain and flames confront each other.
A war is about to break out.
…
While He Shang and Shui Ran were fighting, You Ji and others were running wildly in the rain carrying two earthen boxes.
Each of them wore tight and thick protective clothing, with no inch of skin exposed, to avoid being contaminated by rain.
Although Acheng came to the conclusion that the heavy rain itself was not too serious, he still believed that he should try to avoid getting wet in the rain. Everyone did not take this into consideration in the afternoon, so they must not be careless at this time.
"You Ji, what did Lord Yama say to you? Why did you want us to go to Wuji City?"
As a tactical team directly under the Seventh Yama, You Ji and others were not weak. They ran very fast in the rain, and even after running for half an hour, they were still not blushing or out of breath.
Faced with Chang Bei's question, Li Youji had no intention of hiding it: "Go to Wuji City to find someone. He may have a way to save the program and the others!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm sorry, the specific information is confidential. Lord Yama has asked me not to say it." Li Youji apologized.
"Understood."
Chang Bei knew how to measure, nodded slightly, thought for a while and then asked, "Should we still enter Wuji City from the underground?"
"Well, Wuji City is heavily guarded. There are cameras everywhere, and the only way to get in is through the underground. But after what happened this afternoon, they may deepen their defenses, so be careful."
Li Youji nodded solemnly. She knew that brother... knew that Bai Mo was still in Wuji City. If she wanted to find him, she could only enter Wuji City again.
"I didn't expect that we would see each other again just after we parted..."
She didn't know how to describe her mood for a moment.
"When the time comes, Chang Bei and I will just go in. The speed must be fast. Others will be responsible for taking over. I will try my best to bring that person out!"
"clear!"
Everyone nodded in unison and quickly moved forward for a certain distance in the rain. Chang Bei suddenly said worriedly: "That transparent girl is probably very troublesome. I don't know if Lord Yama can handle it alone..."
Although Li Youji was also very worried, he could face himself clearly and said with a smile: "Even if we stay, we can't provide any help to Lord Yama. It's better to focus on the current task and help the program and them."
Everyone is actually very aware of this truth, but they are still quite worried. Chang Bei doesn't like to talk very much, but he is very loyal to He Shang, and everyone can understand him.
Chang Bei remained silent, and would reinforce the dungeon on Bei Shang every once in a while to prevent rainwater from seeping in, while Li Youji continued to activate [Resonance] to maintain the status of the two of them.
[Resonance] It was extremely draining on both mental and physical strength. Gradually, Li Youji felt a little exhausted.
Chang Bei had been paying attention to her face, and when he saw this, he quickly said: "How about it, do you need me to carry you?"
"No need, you will need your ability to enter Wuji City later. You have to conserve your strength." Li Youji shook his head.
The other two people looked at each other, and neither of them was ambiguous. They leaned over and said, "Then let me carry you."
Li Youji was not a pretentious person. He nodded and thanked him, and was about to make a move when his expression suddenly changed and he stared into the distance with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone was keenly aware that something was wrong with her and immediately became vigilant. However, they saw nothing at first glance.
There is nothing in front of us, just a rock washed away by heavy rain.
"There was a woman sitting on that rock just now!" Li Youji said seriously, with a very firm tone.
Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this, and they did not ask questions like "really unsure" - extraordinary people have sharp senses, and their sixth sense is far superior to that of ordinary people, so they are not prone to hallucinations.
Therefore, he believed in Li Youji's judgment.
"I'll go take a look."
A man pulled out a sharp sword from his sleeve and volunteered to check it out.
"Be careful."
The things that appeared in this heavy rain were definitely not kind, and normal people would never sit on a stone in the rain. Naturally, everyone was extremely vigilant and ready to take action at any time.
The man nodded slightly, with the sword in his hand, he felt full of confidence and soon arrived at the location of the rock.
Apart from its huge size, there was nothing special about this rock. Its surface was washed away by heavy rain and was extremely smooth. He knocked on it with his sword and found that it was just an ordinary rock with no one hiding around it.
Except for this rock, the surrounding area is empty and there is no place to hide. If a woman really appeared here before, it is impossible for everyone to not see it.
completely
"Forget it if you can't find it, leave here as soon as possible." At this moment, Li Youji said.
She didn't think that the woman just now was her illusion. Since she couldn't find her, there was no need to create extraneous details here. Their goal was not here.
Everyone understood what she meant and quickly continued to move forward. When they looked back, they saw that the area around the rock was still empty and there was no sign of anyone.
However, not long after they ran away, someone else exclaimed: "There is a woman under that tree!"
Everyone looked around hurriedly, but still saw nothing. It was just a tree as thick as an arm, and it was impossible to hide anyone nearby.
"Don't worry, keep walking!"
Li Youji shouted loudly, and an ominous premonition suddenly occurred in his heart.
And her premonition did come true.
During the next journey, everyone claimed to have seen a woman one after another, and they were all long-haired women wearing white dresses. They should be the same person.
However, the strange thing is that everyone only saw the woman once, and after losing sight, they could no longer see each other.
This was undoubtedly a strange event. Combined with the fact that the heavy rain now meant a forbidden area, everyone quickly came to the conclusion that they might have encountered a creature in the forbidden area!
Fortunately, the woman didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them, nor did she stop them from moving forward, so everyone never stopped.
The primary goal right now is to reach Wuji City as soon as possible, and avoid everything else as much as possible.
There were no surprises along the way, and the woman seemed to have left.
However, just when everyone in Huangquan breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp shout suddenly sounded in their ears.
"I saw a woman!"
Everyone stopped and looked at each other, feeling like their hairs were standing on end——
This is actually the voice of the program!
But the program is clearly trapped in the dungeon. There is no gap. How can it be possible to see the outside world?
If this is not a programmed hallucination, then there is only one possibility...
Li Youji's heart sank.
That woman is in the dungeon where the program is!
