Several straight beams of light suddenly lit up in the dark construction site.
The bright flashlights coming from all directions were turned on at the same time, and dozens of dazzling white light beams swept across, all aimed at the flame, tearing apart the surrounding rain curtain, and the scenery over there was as bright as day!
Shi Jin, who was in the center of the light, shook his arms, breaking away the flames wrapped around his arms.
He frowned, the power of the bursting flames was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Fortunately, he dodged and defended in time, so no more serious damage was caused.
Even so, both arms were burnt and stinging at this moment.
Shi Jin suppressed the pain and fixed his eyes firmly on the young man in sunglasses.
The exploding fireball that the young man in sunglasses gathered with all his strength successfully gave him a chance to escape. The moment the fireball exploded, the young man in sunglasses had already retreated and was about to escape.
Shi Jin immediately wanted to catch up, but suddenly he heard a muffled sound.
"boom!"
The voice is low but full of explosive power.
Shi Jin subconsciously retreated slightly, stopped his pursuit, looked up and saw the man in the secret realm who had fled to the gap suddenly fell down and let out a cry of pain.
At the same time, in a gray car a few hundred meters away, a man in a uniform with a small lapel slowly raised a sniper rifle through the car window.
A puff of white smoke rose from the exposed muzzle of the gun.
"Successful hit, but probably not dead yet."
The voice of a colleague came from the walkie-talkie on Shi Jin's body.
He nodded, sneered, stepped forward and kicked the man in sunglasses over. The man seemed to want to resist, and several flames shot up on his body, but unfortunately they were extinguished after shaking for a while.
"Still want to commit murder?"
Shi Jin kicked the man unconscious again, and then used the walkie-talkie to call someone over.
It wasn't until this moment that I really relaxed. I felt the pain in my arms and couldn't help but take a breath.
But overall I'm quite satisfied.
When he came here this morning, he had already keenly spotted this practitioner hidden in the crowd.
It was also discovered that the physical characteristics of this man were very similar to a fire spirit practitioner who was on the wanted list of practitioners in this city.
Unfortunately, there were too many onlookers at that time, so it was not suitable to alert the enemy. Considering that this place was fatally attractive to fire spirit practitioners, he simply set up an ambush at night.
Sure enough, I successfully waited for the other party.
The only thing that slightly surprised him was that this casual cultivator was much stronger than he expected.
Another surprise is...
Shi Jin looked at the motionless figure lying on the ground at the gap.
"I didn't see clearly just now. Was it hit by a fireball?"
Shi Jin frowned, feeling that he was in trouble.
Ordinary people are unable to resist attacks from practitioners. If this person dies, even they will have to face punishment from above.
Just when Shi Jin was confused and ready to help, he suddenly heard a cough.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Then, right in front of Shi Jin, the figure hit by the fireball stood up staggeringly.
Cheng Lin was still a little confused and felt a tightness in his chest. He finally stood up and looked down, and his face immediately turned pale.
I saw that the clothes on my chest had been burned into a black hole, and I looked very embarrassed and disgraced.
I subconsciously touched it with my hands, but found no blood or wounds.
After peeling away the black dust, my skin was only a little red and hot.
"fine?"
Cheng Lin was startled, a little confused and a little surprised.
At this time, he already understood that he had run into a battle between practitioners, and he was unlucky enough to be hit by a fireball.
The only surprise is that the power of this fireball does not match its cool appearance.
"This practitioner is too good..."
Cheng Lin muttered in his mind, and then he saw Shi Jin.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly felt strange.
Facing the people from the mysterious department of the government, Cheng Lin was a little nervous, but Shi Jin suppressed his shock.
The fireball that exploded was so powerful that even if he defended himself in time, he was still seriously injured, and blood was still oozing from both arms.
But this boy who looks like he's still a student...has nothing wrong with him?
"You...come here and let me take a look."
Shi Jin felt that the scene in front of him was a bit unreal and shouted.
When Cheng Lin walked in, he took a closer look, frowned and asked, "How do you feel?"
"It's good. Well, uncle, instead of caring about me, you'd better go to the hospital quickly."
Cheng Lin looked at Shi Jin's exposed arms.
The two arms were burned black and red, with blood oozing out, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
At this moment, other lapels had also rushed over. Some tied up the unconscious man in sunglasses and took him away, while others came over carrying a medical kit.
"Team leader, you are injured!"
"Hurry up and bandage it."
"Hey, who is this child?"
Someone noticed Cheng Lin.
Several pairs of serious and scrutinizing eyes were pointed at him, like the muzzles of dark guns.
Cheng Lin immediately raised his hands, pretending to be timid and said: "I was just passing by and saw someone sneaking around here, so I came to take a look."
As he spoke, he pointed to the small flower umbrella he had fallen into the water on the side.
Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous."
Then he pointed to his subordinate and said: "He was attacked by the aftermath. You should take him to the hospital to check his injuries. You should be more careful."
That last sentence is very emphatic.
"yes!"
The man nodded and then looked at Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin wisely did not resist and followed the other party into another car and drove to the city hospital.
Cheng Lin was not stupid. He had already heard what the other party meant. Treating himself was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was obviously a checkup.
The team leader who took the lead seemed to have some doubts about himself.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Lin concentrated on recalling the scene that happened before.
Soon, he remembered that the moment he was hit, a notification sound seemed to come to his mind.
I remember it was...
[Fire resistance +3 takes effect!]
"Fire resistance... isn't this the reward I got for completing the mission?"
Cheng Lin felt that he had slowly figured out the logic.
Although I don't know why, it is obvious that the man in sunglasses was ambushed by the government and got into a fight with the practitioners of Jiushi. During the battle, the other party released a fireball, exploded, and part of it hit him.
"Fireball is obviously a fire elemental damage, and I received a fire resistance bonus before, so this attribute helped me reduce the damage, so I wasn't injured?"
Cheng Lin thought to himself and murmured: "Interesting."
"What are you mumbling about?"
The driver suddenly looked at him. Cheng Lin hurriedly pretended to be stupid and shook his head: "Nothing, I'm just curious. Are you on a mission?"
"These are not things you should know, don't ask random questions!"
Well, this person's tone was a bit harsh, and he obviously didn't want to chat with him.
Cheng Lin stopped asking and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
I thought that the fire resistance attribute of only 3 points was useless, but unexpectedly it saved my life.
After seeing Shi Jin's injured appearance, Cheng Lin could only feel happy.
"That man is obviously a cultivator, and he is very strong, but even he was injured like that. My body, an ordinary person, was attacked on a vital place like my chest. If I hadn't added fire resistance, today
Whether you can survive or not is a question!"
After Cheng Lin felt lucky, he became afraid.
In the past, he did not have a clear understanding of the changes that spiritual energy recovery would bring to the world.
In other words, most ordinary people have not yet realized that society has undergone tremendous changes.
Maybe they have all heard that there are some places where rogue cultivators kill people, steal goods, and commit illegal crimes, but after all, they are in the minority and have never happened to them.
If the injury does not happen to you, you will not be aware of the pain.
Under the control of the government, the entire society seemed to be as it was yesterday, and the social order was still stable. But at this time, Cheng Lin suddenly didn't feel that way anymore.
Before today, he had never thought that there were hidden practitioners right next to him.
And he kills ordinary people without any scruples.
My life was almost wiped out!
The originally peaceful country suddenly became dangerous.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg in the world of practitioners.
What is the real world of practitioners like?
It has only been half a year since the spiritual energy was revived, but any casual cultivator has such power to control the flames, which is already a powerful life that transcends ordinary people.
If time is extended, what will the evolution of these people at the forefront of the new era look like?
Where will the revival of spiritual energy take human society?
Will the lives of ordinary people be guaranteed in the future?
These things that were originally very certain suddenly became blurred.
That big fireball was like a hammer, smashing the illusion of peace and tranquility in life.
