Chu Lingjun suddenly jumped up from the tree trunk!
He just raised his feet to rush towards Gu Xiaoman, when he blinked and found that the blood-red tentacles disappeared out of thin air again!
Chu Lingjun's right foot was frozen in place.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, there was nothing on Gu Xiaoman's ankle, as if the blood-red tentacles just now were just an illusion.
Chu Lingjun frowned, glanced at Gu Xiaoman a few more times, and then walked slowly to Wang Xiaomi's side.
At this time, Wang Xiaomi was cooking a large pot of pickled fish. The soup was as white as milk, and small red peppers were floating in the soup. Wang Xiaomi added some pickled cabbage, dried radish, and enoki mushrooms to it.
Wait, and finally add the thinly sliced fish fillets, and a delicious dish is ready.
Zhan Xinlan, Si Yao and the other girls looked at the pickled fish in front of them with shining eyes, and their mouths almost watered down. In the past two months, they have made this pickled fish no less than 20 or 30 times, but these girls still like to eat it.
Very, like an addiction.
Even Gu Xiaoman, the "head-bowing tribe", couldn't help but raise his head from time to time, his eyes attracted here.
Chu Lingjun, Duan Feng, and Zhao Hao didn't feel anything at all. After all, they had learned Wang Xiaomi's cooking skills for a year. In short, it can be said in two words: super delicious!
"Wow, the midnight snack is finally ready!"
"I'm not welcome!"
A group of people were holding Xiaowan's big bowl and rushing to eat. Chu Lingjun quietly called Wang Xiaomi aside and told him what had just happened.
"Third brother, are you sure you really saw it?" Wang Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt appeared on his honest face.
"I believe in my eyes." Chu Lingjun said with serious eyes.
Seeing that Chu Lingjun was so serious, Wang Xiaomi couldn't help but pay attention to it. He thought for a moment: "Third brother, what are you going to do?"
"Just wait a moment... I'll cooperate with you, so even if I'm really wrong, it won't hurt."
"OK."
The two returned to the team. Wang Xiaomi and Chu Ling both came to the pot with bowls and chopsticks, and inadvertently sat down next to Gu Xiaoman.
Wang Xiaomi is next to Gu Xiaoman, and Chu Lingjun is next to Wang Xiaomi.
Gu Xiaoman was eating fish in small bites. When he saw someone sitting over, he immediately moved aside like a deer, trying to make a big space.
But she was sitting next to the tree trunk, with nowhere to move. She could only shrink her shoulders and close her legs, almost burying herself in the tree.
"This woman is really as humble as dust..." Chu Lingjun couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the other party's skillful and heart-wrenching movements.
Some people use their childhood to heal their whole lives, and some people use their whole life to heal their childhood.
Wang Xiaomi also noticed Gu Xiaoman's movements. He gave Gu Xiaoman a large spoonful of fish meat. Without waiting for a response, he poured it directly into her bowl, and a few drops of delicious fish juice splashed out.
"Too... too much..." Gu Xiaoman was shocked and quickly refused.
"Not much. I marinated more than a hundred kilograms of fish tonight, which is enough for everyone. There is still some in the pot." Wang Xiaomi explained.
"Yes, it's all been pickled. If you don't eat it, it will be wasted." Chu Lingjun agreed with a smile.
"Xiao Man, you don't have to be polite to us. We can't finish all the fish and meat anyway." Guan Buyu interjected. Guan Buyu has a gentle and kind-hearted nature, and he has always taken good care of her since he learned about Gu Xiaoman.
"Xiao Man, eat more..." Others also said with a smile.
"Thank you... thank you..." Gu Xiaoman raised her head and glanced at everyone with wide eyes, then quickly lowered her head, almost burying her face in the bowl, and thanked her in a voice like a mosquito's moan.
Everyone tacitly changed the topic, talked and laughed, and did not create pressure on Gu Xiaoman.
Zhan Xinlan glanced at the thin Gu Xiaoman, feeling a sense of guilt and self-blame in her heart. It was only recently that she learned about Gu Xiaoman through Chu Lingjun and others.
She never expected that at Rongda University, on the warm campus she was familiar with, something of such a vile nature could happen!
In every case of school violence, schools and teachers have unshirkable responsibilities!
This time the typhoon experience is over, she must go and question Gu Xiaoman's teacher. If the teacher is unable to do anything, let her do it. She just has a vacant student spot now!
After chatting casually with Gu Xiaoman, Chu Lingjun glanced at Wang Xiaomi. Wang Xiaomi understood and casually asked: "How is your team's record today?"
Gu Xiaoman held the bowl with his chopsticks in a contemplative manner, thought about it carefully, and then replied in a low voice seriously: "3 fanged fish, 5 sea spiders, 4 sand crabs, 4 giant-eyed water rats, 16 in total, I
…I didn’t do anything to help.”
Gu Xiaoman lowered her head in guilt at the end, her face full of self-blame. She felt that the reason why the team's record was so poor was because she didn't help, and it was right for her teammates to blame her.
16 heads... 404 now kills an average of five to sixty heads a day... Chu Lingjun complained slightly in his heart.
"Everyone has their own area of expertise. This is not your problem. One day you will find your area of expertise," Wang Xiaomi said with a smile, "Then you are not injured, right?"
"No."
"Not in the past few days? Have you ever felt a headache, nausea or inexplicable dizziness?"
"No."
"Whoa whoa!"
When washing the dishes after the meal, Wang Xiaomi approached Gu Xiaoman again and said with a smile: "Xiaoman, I heard that your sea spirit skill [Purification and Clearing] is very interesting. It can not only purify the evil spirits of the undead, but it can also be used to clean up garbage.
The room is being cleaned, can I take a look?"
"Okay." Gu Xiaoman responded without hesitation, like a robot that obeyed every word.
"Then you wash these dishes and let me see." Wang Xiaomi looked curious.
"good."
Gu Xiaoman whispered back, she used her spiritual power, and a lotus flower with white soft light bloomed from behind her. When Chu Lingjun and others around saw this white lotus flower, they suddenly felt pure and gentle in their hearts, without being arrogant or arrogant.
impatient.
Gu Xiaoman put her right hand on the oil-stained dishes and chopsticks, and her spiritual power surged. Suddenly, a white ripple centered on her right hand, spreading in all directions. Wherever the white ripples touched, it immediately became clean and bright, and all oil stains instantly
be purified.
This is quite a magical scene. All the dishes, bowls, chopsticks, pots and dishes are brand new, as clean as bright, just like kitchen utensils that have just left the factory.
"There seems to be some oil stains. Xiaoman, can you use it again?" Chu Lingjun said.
"Okay." Gu Xiaoman nodded and cast the spell again, and the air rippled again.
"There's still a little bit here, Xiaoman, come again."
"good……"
A total of three circles of white ripples swept across. Not only were the bowls, basins and other kitchen utensils clean, but the red tree trunks under the kitchen utensils were also stripped bare...
"How is it?" Wang Xiaomi asked Chu Lingjun in the corner.
"No problem." Chu Lingjun looked at a strange-shaped spirit plate in his hand, his face full of confusion.
The spiritual weapon he is holding in his hand at this time is called [Pure Moon Pan], which is one of the spiritual weapons always prepared by sea masters when they go out. Its function is to detect fluctuations of undead, mental power fluctuations, Yin Qi fluctuations, etc.
Once the net moon disk is detected, it will react and turn black.
However, the Pure Moon Disk did not respond during the whole process just now. In order to prevent accidents, Chu Lingjun also asked Gu Xiaoman to use the [Purification Clearance] skill three times.
On the surface, it seems to be removing stains on the dishes, chopsticks and kitchen utensils, but in fact it is to purify and remove the "stains" that may exist on Gu Xiaoman's body!
The result surprised Chu Lingjun, there was nothing!
"Strange, is it really an illusion?"
"It shouldn't be. The undead aura emanating from that blood-red vine is so evil..."
…
Time passed slowly. Team 404 performed steadily and successfully reached the eighth place. There was also a faint tendency to break the seventh place. This excited the team and Zhan Xinlan, and also shocked other student teams. 404 was so unexpected.
Give lasting power and be brave and diligent.
Everyone in the team also understands that the main reason why they can achieve this result is relying on Chu Lingjun.
Without Chu Lingjun's astonishingly powerful spiritual weapons and firearms, as well as the inner armor and shoes refined by Chu Lingjun, which improved defense and agility, it would have been impossible for everyone to achieve this result.
However, although the ranking has been rising steadily, everyone's joy is gradually decreasing, because the number of sea beasts appearing in the Blood Forest is increasing.
In the past two months, the fighting in Sansha City has become more and more intense. In the Blood Forest, more and more sea beasts have been swept up by the typhoon. The Banyan University students have gradually reached their limit and are unable to support themselves.
Another half month passed.
At noon that day, a rapid siren sounded throughout the Blood Forest. Upon hearing this sound, even the students who were on their rotation quickly rushed out of the underground shelters and threw themselves into the defense line. This was the siren for all preparations.
Zhao Hao, Duan Feng, and Wang Xiaomi woke up from their sleep. When they heard the rapid siren, their expressions suddenly changed, and they rushed out of the lounge without even putting on their clothes.
In the middle of the rush, Zhao Hao looked back: "Where is the third child?"
Duan Feng was stunned: "Yes, where is the third brother?"
"It's time to get up early." Wang Xiaomi replied. During this period, Chu Lingjun always got up early and only slept for a few hours.
The three people quickly rushed out of the underground shelter. As soon as they arrived at the edge of the 404 defense node, they suddenly saw a familiar figure there, it was Chu Lingjun.
At this time, Chu Lingjun was setting up something around the defense line, with magic array patterns carved out one after another.
"Lao San, what are you doing?" Zhao Hao rushed over quickly.
"Just strengthen the magic circle." Chu Lingjun said casually.
Zhao Hao was speechless, are you reinforcing the magic circle casually? This has been reinforced for almost a month!
Yes, in the past half month, everyone in Team 404 has seen Chu Lingjun deploying various magic circles around the defense line whenever he had time, even sacrificing time to sleep and rest.
Zhao Hao was speechless and disapproving. The school had deployed two powerful mountain-protecting formations in the Blood Forest. If the school's mountain-protecting formations could be broken, wouldn't Chu Lingjun's formation be even easier?
Moreover, they are stationed on the fourth line of defense. If the sea beast army can attack here, it means that the first three lines of defense have been broken, and Chu Lingjun's formation will also be useless!
"Stop talking, let's gather quickly!" Wang Xiaomi urged from the side: "The highest alarm sounds, the head teacher and others should be waiting for us!"
"Let's go!" Chu Lingjun also quickly changed the topic.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes but had nothing to do, Lao San was such a greedy and fearful person.
Chu Lingjun glanced back as he walked and made sure that several of his magic circles were inscribed. He immediately nodded with satisfaction. Ever since what happened to Gu Xiaoman half a month ago, Chu Lingjun has focused entirely on this.
On the defensive line.
Although no problems were found on Gu Xiaoman, Chu Lingjun always felt like there was a big stone weighing on his heart, heavy and uneasy.
This is the intuition from a holy saint!
During this period, strange things happened in the Blood Forest, Tian Duo, Rong Xing went missing, Yan Gan and 12 students disappeared, and weird tentacles appeared on Gu Xiaoman's ankles.
And finally appeared in the Blood Forest, more and more sea beast soldiers!
In the end this is not intuition, but real data from schools recorded every day.
In the first month of the typhoon season, a few Hai Clan soldiers from Sansha City occasionally appeared.
Starting from the second month, the number of Hai Clan soldiers increased dramatically!
Now in the third month, the number of Hai Clan soldiers coming from Sansha City has doubled again!
The combination of the extra sea soldiers and the sea beasts brought by the typhoon brought huge offensive pressure to Rongda.
Chu Lingjun felt sensitively that these few things seemed to be somehow connected, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
Chu Lingjun reported his guess to Zhan Xinlan and grade director Chen Botao, but they had no clue.
Under the whip of this huge uneasiness, Chu Lingjun could only arm himself crazily within this half month in order to save his life.
"Woooooooo!!!"
"Woooooooo!!!"
The rapid siren sounded throughout the Blood Forest. The students quickly and nervously arrived at their garrison posts. Chu Lingjun and others also quickly arrived at the 404 defense node.
When Chu Lingjun arrived at the defense line, he heard heavy rumbling sounds coming from the front line, as well as the roaring roars of sea beasts.
The first and second lines of defense were obviously at war. Fierce explosions and spiritual shock waves continued to spread. The entire Blood Forest buzzed and trembled, filled with the urgent atmosphere of an approaching war and an imminent storm!
The front line of defense must have encountered a strong enemy, otherwise the school would not have sounded the highest siren.
Everyone was stationed nervously in front of the defense line. Si Yao also took advantage of this gap to use the [Blessing of Water] skill on Chu Lingjun and the other five, increasing each person's attack power by 5 points.
The sea water under the tree trunks was rolling, spraying foam, and the height of the sea surface rose rapidly, rising by nearly two or three meters. This showed that the outside of the Blood Forest was being violently invaded by typhoons and tsunamis.
Soon, when Siyao finished casting the spell on the five people, at the end of everyone's eyes, huge monsters like hills appeared.
They were nearly ten meters tall, three stories high, and their bodies were majestic and strong. The strong tree roots and branches along the way were directly broken and crushed by them. When their feet landed on the sea bed, they trembled.
They carry a dominating momentum and dominate everything!
Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes and forgot to breathe for a moment.
And as these behemoths opened a broad avenue in the intricate forest and slowly walked in front of everyone, Chu Lingjun and others were even more shocked, with shock on their faces!
Because all I saw were these behemoths, one after another, giant fish covered in thick armor, but with legs growing under their bellies!
