The plus signs appearing behind the secret martial arts and skills in the field of vision have become more solid, no longer as looming as before.
This should indicate that the essence of disaster has been collected enough.
Card Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to get closer to the creek. Immediately, another progress bar appeared below the full progress bar, and the second progress bar was largely blank.
The red part grows little by little, and the progress is slow.
As the wails became weaker and weaker, the progress bar grew as fast as a turtle crawling. Until he could no longer move at all, Ka Xiu returned to the crowd and stared at the altar across the stream.
If there was even the slightest sign that the beetle army was approaching this way, he would definitely run away immediately and take the first step.
But fortunately, the beetles seem to be more interested in the altar where the vampires perform blood rituals, and they keep surrounding and climbing on it.
Layers upon layers piled up together, making a sizzling sound.
"Let's go."
Without the essence of disaster to absorb, Kaxiu suddenly became less interested. He glanced at Domeng next to him and said softly.
"good."
Domeng nodded immediately. His injury was relatively serious. Although it was not fatal for the time being, it was still best to receive treatment as soon as possible.
Immediately, the two took steps and disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
"Oh, you two..."
Will wanted to speak out to persuade him to stay, but he felt that the relationship between the two parties was not that close. So he opened his mouth and held back what he said. The female police officer Cathy next to him came closer.
There was some curiosity on her fair and pretty face.
"Who are these two people?"
"I don't know him either, but he should be an enemy of the vampire clan..."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Will silently glanced in the direction of the altar. At least the blood donation ceremony was stopped.
Their first goal of the mercury hunters was successful!
As for the second goal of rescuing hostages...
Judging from the crowds over there, it seems that the situation is very dangerous, and not even the scum is left. The mercury hunters have been fighting against the vampires all year round, and they are determined and will not have any extra psychological burden. But these brave police officers may
I can't accept it. After all, the hostage died despite such a big sacrifice...
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ouch..."
Ruoyouruowu's voice came from below the dense forest. The battle there was still going on, and the two sides were still fighting each other.
Will immediately shouted: "The time period for the blood ritual has passed, and the vampires cannot succeed again! Our companions are still fighting against the vampires, come back with me. Let's go!"
Immediately, the team with less than twenty people left returned in the original direction, and a dozen shadows quickly shuttled through the forest.
It was late at night, and the night light above the Alfama Mountains was pitch black. In the endless darkness of the night, a huge dark cloud moved across the sky, blocking the stars, and no starlight came through.
************************
July 2nd.
Jinghu City, urban area, in a small blue manor.
The morning sun shone slantly through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving seven or eight long golden patches on the tawny floor. This is the living room, which is very empty. There is a black and white checkered leisure sofa in the corner, and green plants in flower pots.
Slightly fresher.
In the middle of the living room, a dining table is placed here.
At this moment, two strong men were dining across from each other. One was blond and the other was black-haired.
The black-haired man cut a piece of fried egg with a table knife, then raised the fork and put it into his mouth. He picked up the glass with hot milk in one hand and grabbed the newspaper placed in the left corner of the dining table with the other hand.
The newspaper that has just been printed and sent has a faint scent of ink, and the black fonts are so fresh that they seem to fall off with just one swipe.
Jinghu City Morning News.
A big title comes into view on the first page.
"There are extremely vicious gangsters hiding in the Alfama Mountains! The two police stations in Mingshan City and Jinghu City joined forces, but still suffered heavy losses!"
What followed was a long text report, but no photos or anything else appeared. It was just a few words from some insiders about last night, without in-depth details.
Kashu glanced at it lightly and put the newspaper next to him. He lowered his head and continued eating to comfort his stomach after not eating for ten days. I have to say that the garlic bread was delicious.
On the other side, Domon swallowed a piece of bread. Then he grabbed the newspaper and spread it out, eating breakfast and killing time.
Five minutes later, the sound of someone coming down the stairs on the right side of the living room was heard.
A well-dressed old man walked down the road. He had gray hair and a thin figure. But his eyes were very sharp, and he had an aura and energy when he walked.
High-waisted pants, flannel, and a single-breasted notched lapel jacket. The pattern on the surface of the jacket is pinstripes. It looks energetic yet heavy, giving people a sense of comfort.
"How was your rest last night? Guys."
The old man looked very kind, and with a smile on his face, he walked to the dining table and sat down. He began to enjoy his own breakfast.
"It's okay, Mr. Mian." Card Xiu responded.
"It's not good, my whole body hurts so much. I just managed to sleep for about five hours, ugh..." Domeng said with a tired face.
"You were able to fall asleep last night because my healing skills have not deteriorated." Mian smiled lightly and shook his head.
"Originally, since you haven't come back for more than ten days, I thought you had wandered off somewhere. Unexpectedly, you were involved in a series of disturbances in the Alfama Mountains. I treated your boy's injuries last night without asking any questions.
Now tell me the situation in detail." Mian glanced at the newspaper title and asked immediately.
"Uncle, please wait, let me eat breakfast first." Domeng drank milk, chewed some bread, and raised his head and said.
"Are you so hungry? You are seriously injured. It is not good to eat too much. Don't eat the remaining piece of bread." Mian reminded.
Duomeng's expression couldn't help but feel a little bitter after hearing this.
"Uncle Master, do you know how I spent these ten days?"
Bug set meal, moss salad, dew rain...
Domon, who had never tried before, has tried it. Although he has reached the second blood acceleration limit, after all, he is not like Ka Xiu who has three nodes to form a cycle. So you still have to drink, you still have to eat, at most
A little stronger than ordinary people.
After being misled into the cave by the fog, and then spending ten days in the maze of ruins, Domon had a great difficulty in obtaining food.
Immediately, Domon began to describe his series of experiences entering the Alfama Mountains. The starting point was the fight with Kasu, and the end point was when the two of them rushed out of the ruins together last night.
There were many dangers and more twists and turns. Domeng's experience was not much more stable than Kaxiu's, and he was even more miserable because he could not go without eating or drinking. Kaxiu felt deep sympathy after hearing this.
"Is there such a magical relic?! The vampires in the Alfama Mountains are probably not simple. You said you saw the blood pool full of coffins, and then there was a vampire with the strength to crush the two of you who joined forces and kept chasing you..."
Mian paused: "I'm afraid there are at least a bunch of these vampires sleeping in the other coffins. These humanoid creatures called vampires are so powerful, but I had never heard of it when I was still at the Mad Lion Flow Mountain Sect.
Pass…"
Hearing this, Ka Xiu, who was cutting garlic bread next to him, paused and narrowed his eyes. He recalled that when he traced back to the Wind Elephant Sect, he had not heard of any dark creatures. Even in the exchange competition
The secret martial arts circle gathered, and many core disciples of the younger generation discussed and communicated with each other, but none of them said a word about dark creatures, which was a bit strange.
And looking at the vampires last night, they seemed to be surprised that Kasudomeng was a pure human being, but he could explode with powerful physical power. It felt like there was a layer of fuzzy frosted glass between the two.
Separated, obviously in the same world, but parallel to each other, each living his own life.
Logically speaking, two powerful forces with different stances and different races should have many conflicts and overlaps. Card Xiu felt that it is impossible that there are no secret warriors who have come into contact with dark creatures, and there must be dark creatures that have encountered secret warriors. However, it seems that both sides
Didn't you investigate it curiously? Did your brain subconsciously ignore it?
The hair on his back stood up as he thought about it.
Ka Xiu seemed to see a pair of invisible hands reaching down from the clouds high above, playing with the coincidences and fate of the world.
"call……"
He took a deep breath and didn't want to delve into this horrifying question for the time being. Card Xiu came back to his senses.
Next to him, Domeng was chatting with his uncle Mian about the temporary consensus reached by Kasudomon and others in the ruins passage.
"Cooperation?" Mian turned to look in Kaxiu's direction.
Domeng also cooperated and turned his head.
Ka Xiu stroked his forehead and calmed down, and immediately said as he did that day: "Mr. Mian, have you heard of the power of the secret soul..."
"What is the power of secret soul?" Mian looked curious.
"Guess how old I am now?" Ka Xiu repeated what he said in the cave that day under Domeng's speechless gaze.
One minute later.
"I am twenty-four years old..."
"What? Don't coax me, tell me how old I am."
"True twenty-four...a great boxer at this age..."
Two minutes later.
"Black Rain Villa? Is there such a strange place? It sounds weirder than the ruins you two have experienced before..."
"Yes, but the power of the secret spirit is related to it."
five minutes later.
"Hold!"
Mian stood up from his seat with great excitement and slapped the table, smashing a hole in it. The elbow of Domon, who was drinking milk next to him, was shaken by the table, and the white milk in the glass was
It splashed all over my face.
"Uncle, don't be excited. Don't be excited. Let's sit down and talk in detail. Sit down and talk carefully." Duomeng said while wiping his face.
"I'm not a young man, how can I not be excited?!"
Mian was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling uneasily.
His old face had just now become a little more eager, a little excited, a little shocked, a little joyful, and a little longing.
Next to him, Domeng thought of something and patted his head.
His uncle, Mian, was nicknamed the Demon Lion back then. When he was young, he loved to fight bravely and fiercely. He practiced martial arts and became obsessed with demons, often killing people in battles. At a certain time, he went to the secret martial arts circle in the western part of the Federation and constantly challenged masters from all walks of life.
A true martial arts idiot.
It was once known as a double star together with the evil lion Maruo, the master of Domon.
Later, as time passed, his realm declined, and he slowly moved behind the scenes. Even five years ago, he didn't even care about the internal affairs of the school, and just found a tourist city to live in seclusion.
The reason is mostly due to the decline of Qi and blood, and there is no hope of entering a higher level of martial arts realm, so one is disheartened.
"Huh..." Mian calmed down and sat down again.
"Kaxiu, you continue talking, I won't disturb you."
Ten minutes later, Ka Xiu had said everything he needed to say, while Mian had a very complicated expression on his face. He held the newspaper in his hand and pretended to be calm, but the corners of the newspaper had long been torn by his fingers. Comparison of his reactions
Domeng is more exaggerated, but this is normal. Only old boxers who have experienced the decline of Qi and blood for a long time can truly understand what the power of Qi means!
"You should think about it carefully first, and we will talk in detail at noon." Card Xiu planned to go back to the room to continue healing.
"Okay." Mian nodded with a dazed look.
Two minutes later, in a guest room in the corner of the second floor.
Card Xiu looked at the shield mark on the back of his hand. It was flashing just now. But just like in the ruins, the mark seemed to be blocked by something. The vague sense of threat was blocked outside and could not have any actual effect.
Card Xiu. He originally thought this effect was a relic, but now Card Xiu is a little confused. Black shadow in the fog? Wisdom rune?
Or, is it a ruin? It not only blocks the signals in the ruins, but also blocks and cuts off signals within a certain range?
There's no way to figure this out.
Card Xiu temporarily recovered his mind and glanced at the upper right corner.
Since the rune of wisdom progress bar is full, use it quickly. Card Xiu has never been a person who grinds away.
Let’s get started.
"Stone Armor Skill: Heavy Armor (Two Levels+)"
The plus sign behind the two layers is very solid and attractive.
Ka Xiu concentrated directly on the plus sign.
For a moment, the entire Shi Kai Gong entry continued to blur.
Densely dense light red patterns form runes.
"The upper limit is being raised...
There is still room for improvement in Stone Armor Skills...
The essence of disaster is enough...
Ascension begins..."
Ka Xiu trembled violently, and he suddenly felt that his chest was extremely hot. It was as if something was being secreted continuously, flowing from his chest to his brain.
After taking off his upper body clothes, the Ouroboros logo on the rock-white chest suddenly began to rotate. Something like a drop of water fell between the two gaps of "∞", gradually filling the gaps and then gradually disappearing. Ka Xiu guessed that this was the so-called
Spiritual blood.
That hot invisible spiritual blood is penetrating through the body, through the bones and internal organs, and across the muscle membrane. Finally, it passes through the neck and face, and reaches the place it needs to go!
brain!
Buzz!
The moment the spiritual blood came into contact with his brain, Kaxiu's whole body was shaken, as if a bomb exploded directly next to his ears. Blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Dense beads of sweat quickly formed on his forehead.
But in an instant, it evaporated into a ball of white vapor, rising along the entire outline of the face and covering the entire head.
Card Xiu's body was trembling slightly and his mind was running at an unprecedented speed. He felt that he had never felt so good.
marvelous.
I gradually understood everything!
