Chapter 118: Last chance

Views:

After making the decision, Gu Jianuo ended his surveillance.

Now that I have a clear idea, continuing to read on will only add to my troubles.

Although taking some pills will have some effects, they are not irreversible.

She has been staring at Xu Le for almost a whole day today. It feels like she is watching some kind of show. It is very interesting.

Although she also wanted to rest and recuperate, Gu Jianuo felt that it was inappropriate to spend so much time on Xu Le.

She needed Xu Le to make a decision as soon as possible.

"We can't let him go on like this. It's too dangerous for a warlock to mess around like this. Let him get some information tomorrow and invite him again."

Gu Jianuo lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After ending the feeling of being peeped at, Xu Le looked at the time and it was not yet 12 o'clock.

"it's over?"

He did not let his guard down, but sat at the table, reviewing the basics of warlock knowledge that he had recorded.

Time passed minute by minute, and until 12 o'clock, the feeling of being watched still did not appear.

"It seems that she fell asleep. She stared at me all day long like a psychopath."

After Xu Le complained, he took Ding Ke out of the room.

He slowly walked downstairs and came to a relatively open area.

It was late at night and there were few people on the streets.

Although this is the downtown area, it is the night watchman's dormitory after all, so there are not many street urchins and homeless people.

Secret Technique - Red Moon Bathing

At 12 o'clock midnight, smear moonstone powder on your body, drink the blood of black sheep, and use the formation technique to offer 3 chicken legs to the moon, then you can bathe in the moon.

Pray devoutly to the red moon for the strength you need.

Xu Le slowly stood under the lamp, took out a bottle of water, mixed some moonstone powder, and then slowly applied it on his body.

Then, he drank a bottle of fishy and pungent black sheep blood, waiting quietly for the energy in the blood to spread throughout his body.

Black sheep blood is the alchemist's refining material. The main ingredient is black sheep blood, but there are many other medicines.

The price itself is also quite expensive, about 40 yuan per bottle.

It is actually a bit of a luxury to try such a procedure.

Moreover, the blood of the black sheep itself is a medium for evil sacrifices and evil summoning.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Le would not do such a thing, it was too weird.

However, he still chose to believe in Ding Ke. After all, Ding Ke had made a great contribution to his achievements today.

"Ritual - Psychic Summoning Array."

After summoning a scarecrow for guarding, Xu Le began the next steps of the Moon-Breaking Ritual.

He drew a formation technique of a medium size on the ground.

Then, he took out three wrapped chicken legs from his backpack and placed them in the center of the formation.

Xu Le faced the moon and knelt on one knee!

"May the red moon grant me strength for my body."

Buzz!

The spirit of the red moon instantly enveloped Xu Le's body, and the warm feeling made him a little intoxicated.

He looked at the moon in the sky, and the pure white color seemed to turn bright red in Xu Le's vision.

Xu Le slowly closed his eyes, quietly bathing in the moonlight, feeling the little changes that the Red Moon Spirit brought to his body.

If someone passed by at this time, they would definitely see a faint red light emanating from Xu Le.

But unfortunately, no one on the road can see this beautiful picture now.

At this moment, Ding Ke, who had been squatting nearby, secretly glanced at the Scarecrow of Life beside Xu Le, and then looked at Xu Le who was closing his eyes.

He tiptoed to the side of the formation and picked out the three chicken legs on it.

He took a big bite as soon as he opened his mouth.

Meow! ~

After swallowing a mouthful of chicken leg, Ding Ke almost cried tears of happiness. Human food is still more delicious.

At least there was plenty of salt and seasoning in it.

Under the gaze of the Scarecrow of Fate, Ding Ke ate the chicken legs with a clamor, and after finishing, he did not forget to throw the bones into the sewer.

This lasted for about half an hour before Xu Le finally woke up.

He looked at the moon in the sky, then looked at his surroundings, and frowned slightly.

"This state... is a bit like deep meditation. I can't do it in this environment next time. But I don't seem to have a better place. How about going to the rooftop next time?"

After making a certain judgment and estimate, Xu Le looked at the technique on the ground.

The chicken leg above has disappeared, it seems that Hongyue has received the sacrifice.

"This spell is really weird. How could a supreme being like Red Moon like chicken legs?"

Xu Le shook his head, felt the strength of his arms, and decided to return to the dormitory.

I can feel that my strength is slightly increased, but the feeling is not particularly obvious. It seems to be an auxiliary training method that requires long-term accumulation.

A bottle of black sheep blood costs 40 yuan, moonstone powder applied all over the body costs nearly 30 yuan, and 3 chicken legs cost 50 cents.

In other words, such a practice would consume 70 yuan worth of resources.

How much is Xu Le’s salary

250 base + 150 welfare + mission reward + reimbursement amount.

Xu Le thought about it and realized that all the spoils from the last mission had been refined into a warlock's staff.

According to the normal distribution of spoils, he already owed the team a huge sum of money.

Adding to the 34,000 he owed to the team, Xu Le thought that if the spoils were calculated at 10,000 each, his debt would be over 100,000.

This level of debt made Xu Le a little conflicted.

"Alas, I don't know when I will be able to pay off this debt..."

After finishing his training, Xu Le returned to the dormitory to rest, looking forward to meeting Gu Jianuo tomorrow.

He had a feeling that Gu Jianuo would come to see him tomorrow.

The next day, Xu Le came to the library of the headquarters again. Several newcomers had been handed over to Wang Shu. As the team leader, Wang Shu had the responsibility to teach the newcomers the rules and regulations.

So Xu Le was also happy to have some peace and quiet today.

Sitting in the library of the headquarters, Xu Le once again began to practice the secrets of martial arts.

He maintained an ethereal state and his thinking was extremely sharp, so after reading many books on the secrets of martial artists.

In terms of theoretical knowledge, Xu Le has surpassed many ordinary warriors.

For example, why there is no upper limit to human physical fitness before it reaches level 4.

According to the records in the books, it was because in the first and second eras, when the ancient Yinduomu tree just appeared, some unknown changes occurred in human beings themselves.

Since that time, the upper limit of human physical fitness has been constantly increasing.

But Xu Le only looks at the theory.

He never read anything about martial arts, tactics, weapon skills, or the like.

He studied warriors mainly to improve his own quality level, which would feed back into his fruit ability or allow the two to be superimposed to exert more effective combat and protective capabilities.

The techniques and skills that ordinary warriors study are really not suitable for him.

According to Xu Le's true thoughts, those moves that he had practiced hard for many years were not as effective as direct elemental attacks or gun shooting.

After strolling around the library for a while, Xu Le took a copy of "Restricted Warrior" and returned to his seat.

Before I could watch for long, Gu Jianuo's voice appeared again.

"Xu Le? Are you here to read again today? You are really studious. It would be hard not to achieve good results with such diligence."

Is it finally here

hehe.

Xu Le turned around, his expression slightly surprised and tangled, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"I don't know why I always run into you here."

"Because I often come here to read. After all, I am a bachelor and need to consult a lot of research materials, so it is normal for you to meet me here."

“That seems to be the case.”

Xu Le nodded and subconsciously put the book in his arms closer, as if he was afraid that Gu Jianuo would see it.

The sharp-eyed Gu Jianuo immediately noticed this action.

"Still hiding? What is there to hide? Are you reading warrior books again?"

"Uh, I'm just taking a look."

Xu Le touched his nose, looking very embarrassed.

When Gu Jianuo saw Xu Le's expression, he knew that he was still obsessed with the warrior system.

"What's wrong with you? As long as a warlock practices hard, he can become a powerful transcendent sooner or later.

The potential of a sorcerer far exceeds that of a warrior, you should be aware of this, right?"

Gu Jianuo really didn't understand Xu Le's behavior.

But Xu Le had already prepared his speech.

“You also said that you will become a powerful transcendent sooner or later, but there is a huge difference between sooner and later.

When facing a mission, if I have a strong physical fitness and the effect of elementalization, I can exert more obvious combat effectiveness.

This is a way to improve quickly, and I don’t want to go through the same thing again.”

Having said that, Gu Jianuo also nodded.

She knew that Xu Le was talking about the last mission. The feeling of powerlessness that a warlock felt after consuming light energy during a mission could indeed easily make people depressed.

But this is also normal!

In the last mission, Xu Le's performance was already amazing.

It is even stronger than those level 2 warlocks.

"That mission was caused by the difference in levels, not your fault. You performed very well at that time."

“I didn’t say that my performance was bad, I just thought that if I could have performed better, then the captain wouldn’t have to die, right

For example, if I had the ability to move at that time, I could rely on the effect of elementalization to fight with Bai Kui.

besides… "

"Stop talking, Xu Le, there's no need to talk."

Gu Jianuo interrupted Xu Le's seemingly incoherent words and frowned deeply.

Only at this moment did she realize how deeply the last mission and Bai Jing's death had affected Xu Le.

"Xu Le, I know you are eager to become stronger, but there is no shortcut.

Whether you are a warrior or a sorcerer, there are no shortcuts."

Xu Le knew that the next moment would be the moment of real fighting.

After taking a deep breath, he suddenly raised his head and said:

"I recruited a new person, and she improved from the upper-middle level of Level 1 to the upper-middle level of Level 2 in just over a month.

In just over a month, this amount of improvement can no longer be described as a breakthrough.

The medicine she took has the effect of quickly improving a warrior's strength and breaking through limitations, right?"

If Gu Jianuo had heard Xu Le say this before, he might have still hesitated.

But after Xu Le's preparations, Gu Jianuo felt that Xu Le really wanted to take the secret medicine.

However, this kind of thing must be stopped because Xu Le is a sorcerer.

Precious Warlock.

"Xu Le, do you know what the most precious thing a warlock has?"

"The most precious thing? Is it the secret technique?"

"No, the most precious thing for a warlock is life. Life is the warlock's greatest power.

Because sorcerers are so powerful, they are not restricted by their bodies like warriors are. Although warriors' skills will improve as they age, they are no longer at their peak.

This is the biggest difference between them and warlocks.

Generally speaking, the longer a warlock lives, the more Red Moon Spirits he accumulates, and the stronger he will become. "

After Gu Jianuo said this, he stared at Xu Le closely.

She didn't say anything explicitly, but it seemed like she had said everything.

Xu Le did not join their camp, at least not yet.

So what she said to this point can be said to be the best she can do. If Xu Le still refuses to change his mind, then there is nothing she can do.

And Xu Le himself also understood what Gu Jianuo meant.

The most precious thing for a warlock is his life, so the effect of that pill is to consume or overdraw his life in exchange for strength

Isn't this the same principle as Bai Jing's final exchange of her life sublimation for power

"I see."

"Xu Le, you are still young, you still have many opportunities, life is very long, and you have many choices.

Your potential is even greater than Gu Beichen's, much greater.

Don't trample on your own life at will. Nothing is more precious than a warlock's own life.

If you want to know everything, come to me and I will tell you everything."

Gu Jianuo made another invitation, and this time it was without reservation.

Xu Le knew that things never happen three times.

Gu Jianuo has begun to lose his patience.

"I'll give you an answer... tomorrow at the latest."

"good."

Xu Le remained silent, and Gu Jianuo did not continue to persuade him. This contact between the two seemed like they were going to part ways on bad terms.

However, after Gu Jianuo left, Xu Le's mouth corners slightly raised.

"I see!"

He could have agreed immediately, but he knew that wouldn't be enough.

Agreeing immediately would not make Gu Jianuo trust him completely.

He still needs to make more and more reasonable preparations.

After returning to the branch, Xu Le set himself up in an interrogation room and waited quietly.

Waiting for Gu Jianuo to appear and then perform a final performance.

But that feeling of being watched never appeared.

But Xu Le was very patient. He just took out the cards one by one, flipped through them silently, memorized them, and tried to unlock more cards.

It wasn't until 2 p.m. that the feeling of being watched reappeared.

Xu Le knew it was coming.

When the feeling of being watched appeared, Xu Le had already started divination.

Divination is a trap. When one completely falls into the trap, that should be the time when Gu Jianuo truly believes in himself.

This is also the time when I can truly turn the tide of the battle.

He had already thought about the content of the divination while waiting.

"Is Bai Jing's state when he was fighting Bai Kui the state of a Level 5 warrior?"

Red Card-Heart

Positive: Negation, mistakes, bloody lessons

Reverse: Source.

Xu Le's ancient sound multi-vision and soul tree perception have been fully opened.

The result of the divination was not obviously interfered with, so the result this time is true.

Is it because of the backlash he suffered last time that Gu Jianuo no longer dares to interfere with the divination results

However, he still felt a strange spiritual energy fluctuation, but he didn't know where the source was.

That fluctuation seemed to come from him.

After the three abilities of vision, hearing, and damage, what other effects are there

Xu Le did not pause and began his fifth divination.

"Is Bai Jing's death related to the life-overdraft potion that Gu Jianuo mentioned?"

This sudden question made Gu Jianuo stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously wanted to interfere with the divination results.

puff!

But after forcing the heart card into his mouth, Gu Jianuo suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The blood almost dyed the reagent bottle in front of her red.

The strong backlash made her face pale, dizzy and almost unable to stand.

But fortunately, it finally changed the result of Xu Le's divination.

Red Card-Heart

A beating heart, with blood, but it's still alive.

Positive: Negation, mistakes, bloody lessons

Reverse: Source.

"heart?"

Xu Le sneered in his heart. In fact, it didn’t matter what the result of the divination was this time.

He would find out everything himself no matter what.

Moreover, he felt the fluctuation of the soul, which meant that Gu Jianuo's technique was still deepening on him.

The fifth effect has already occurred.

"continue."

Under Gu Jianuo's expectant gaze, Xu Le was about to begin the sixth divination regarding Bai Jing.

Before the divination, Xu Le's mood was somewhat moved.

He had a feeling that something important would happen during this divination.

Is it dangerous

Xu Le did not use psychic divination, but just flipped over a card on a whim.

Black Card-Marionette

A puppet controlled by strings, this puppet shows a mechanical smile.

Positive: Control, mastery, and manipulated destiny.

The flip side: everything that is false.

"The sixth time is a very important number! Regarding her skill ability... Will it have a great impact on me

So this sixth divination will make me a puppet?"

Letting the Soul Tree absorb all his emotions, Xu Le maintained a stable state of mind.

The Scarecrow of Fate stays at home, and the Hope effect of the Black Card is always on standby, with elemental super defensive capabilities.

If all these methods are unable to resist Gu Jianuo's techniques, then he is destined to lose this game.

Perhaps the next moment is the most dangerous, but it is also an opportunity to completely gain Gu Jianuo's trust.

The reason is simple. Who would be wary of a puppet they control

Let’s get started!
