clang!
The blade of the Black Knight's greatsword swept past everyone, but was blocked by a level 3 warrior.
Several level 0 or level 1 warrior guards had half of their bodies cut off in an instant.
The Black Knight himself is a ghost species, and he is wearing solid black armor, which leads to this weird and difficult to deal with situation.
Unless your strength really completely suppresses it, the battle will be very difficult.
After hearing Xu Le's call, Wang Shu and Gu Beichen subconsciously glanced at Gu Jianuo.
No matter what, as night watchmen, they always have to complete their most basic tasks.
If Gu Jianuo is unwilling to leave at this time, they, as the night watchmen in the mission, cannot leave either.
Wang Shu and Gu Beichen shook their heads slightly:
"Xu Le, you are no longer a night watchman, so it's okay for you to leave now, but we are different, and we have our responsibilities."
Seeing that Gu Beichen and Wang Shu were unwilling to leave, Xu Le felt helpless and could only persuade Gu Jianuo:
“Ms. Gu! Let’s go. If we continue to stay here, we will only become the target of the monsters and be crushed to death by them.”
Gu Jianuo also frowned, but she did not agree with Xu Le. She just stared at the Black Knight and the Sleepless Warrior.
Still seems to be hesitating.
What did she want to prove? Prove herself? Or perhaps prove the power of the Light Attraction
Xu Le couldn't see clearly, and even Gu Jianuo himself couldn't explain it clearly.
Angel on the side had already rushed towards the Black Knight, and a large number of golden branches immediately burst out of her body and wrapped around the Black Knight.
But her strength is only level 2. Even after being strengthened by the Guidance of Light, her pure physical strength is only level 2.
Coupled with the effect of the Golden Light Tree, at this moment, she could at most compete with an ordinary level 3 monster.
Facing the level 4 ghost, the polluter black knight, Ange is totally no match for him.
“Ah!~”
She used her branch to snatch a sword from a warrior nearby.
The golden branch wrapped around the sword and suddenly stabbed at the black knight's mask.
Phew!
A golden-white light burst out from Anjie's body, and her power seemed to have really hurt the Black Knight.
Seeing this victory, Gu Jianuo's frown finally relaxed:
"Of course, warriors with the power of light can definitely do it, Xu Le, we haven't lost yet."
If it were any other time, Xu Le would just go along with what she said.
But what is happening now? The black tide, the strange and endless black tide.
The disaster of the red moon.
Interpreting it literally, it can even be said that this is the disaster that Hongyue is afraid of.
What are you, a level 3 alchemist, pretending to be here
Xu Le knew that his original plan was to start when the red moon was about to end or when everyone was engaged in a life-and-death battle.
But the situation has changed, and he has to take Gu Jianuo away early!
Otherwise, Wang Shu and the others will all die!
The first thing to do is to irritate her.
Xu Le took a deep breath and suddenly said to Gu Jianuo:
"Have you gone crazy with Alchemy and Magic? Do you think we are only facing the Black Knight
The Black Knights are just the first wave of level 4 monsters. If you are not hopelessly stupid, follow me now, immediately, right now."
Gu Jianuo was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Le to talk to her like this.
And it was this scolding tone...
"Xu Le, do you know who you are talking to?"
"I'm talking to you, Gu Jianuo, your mind is really not clear, the short-term power has clouded your mind.
Do you really think you are so great just because you have mastered some ancient technology
Have you ever thought about how the 1st, 2nd and 3rd eras perished if ancient technology was really so amazing?"
Xu Le’s words made Gu Jianuo hesitate for a moment.
Yes, if ancient technology could really change everything, then the previous eras would not have disappeared.
But just this moment of hesitation, the battle situation changed again.
clang!
The Black Knight cut off half of Anjie's body with one sword. A level 4 polluter was an unmatched force in front of Anjie.
However, Anjie did not die because half of her body was cut off.
Her limbs were connected by the branches of the golden tree, and she endured the severe pain and continued to fight with the black knight.
But the Black Knight didn't tolerate her at this time. He grabbed Angel's head with his armored hand and tore off the golden branch on his body.
Then, the Black Knight's greatsword stabbed into Anjie's body again and again.
Puff! Puff!
Gu Jianuo knew that if he didn't take action now, they might not even be able to deal with the Black Knight.
She didn't care about her injuries.
If anyone present could kill the Black Knight head-on, it would undoubtedly be her.
Cough cough! Gu Jianuo coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and forcibly used the technique.
"Math - Corrosion Refining."
After a burst of psychic energy fluctuations, a red circle appeared under the feet of Anjie and the Black Knight.
The power in the red circle spread to the Black Knight and Anjie.
The black knight's armor was gradually covered with red marks, which were actually rust on the armor.
This powerful armor finally couldn't hold up under the corrosion of Gu Jianuo's magic.
But Anjie's situation was even more dire, the red color corroded not only her armor, but her body as well, completely corrupting her tissues.
Anjie looked at Gu Jianuo in despair, and that feeling was like a child looking at his mother.
Gu Jianuo felt this emotion, but she didn't look at it, just turned her head away helplessly.
After Gu Jianuo's technique, Wang Shu and Gu Beichen also found an opportunity.
"Brother Tree!"
“Here it comes!”
Wang Shu leaped and slashed at the black knight's helmet. The huge force shattered its already corroded armor.
The Black Knight's body is like a ball of black mist.
After losing his armor, he suddenly grabbed Wang Shu, but Wang Shu dodged him.
Gu Beichen has also prepared the technique.
"Fire Explosion!"
boom!
With this blow, the black knight, who was not protected by armor, was immediately engulfed by the blazing flames and explosion, and was finally killed.
On the other side, the Night Watch Team 2 also assisted Ruan Di in killing the zombie dragon and the sleepless warrior.
After the death of more than a dozen guards and a night watchman, this wave of high-level monster attacks was blocked.
Under the red moon, the monsters are still charging forward.
However, the situation at this time seems to have changed.
Some monsters that were comparable to or even more powerful than zombie dragons flew into the sky and began to move towards the central area of the lighthouse.
They flew directly past the defenses of the city walls, as if the tall tower in the center of the lighthouse was their ultimate target.
Or maybe the tower is the final destination for the monsters' death.
The short and brutal battle finally ended. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but under the impact of low-level monsters, the soldiers did not dare to slow down their firepower.
When Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le, she found that Xu Le was also looking at her.
"Xu Le, you knew this a long time ago?"
Xu Le's expression was calm, and in a detached state, he began to think about what he should do next.
The provocation has worked. The next step is to make Gu Jianuo lose her original consciousness and let her make new judgments and changes.
This change will change your destiny.
"Gu Jianuo, have you ever thought about why the monsters attacked the lighthouse during the black tide
The Golden Tree Man possesses the power of light, which comes from the lighthouse. During the black tide, the lighthouse is like a beacon of all weirdness.
Therefore, those who use the Light Guidance will surely die."
Xu Le's words once again made Gu Jianuo fall silent.
She looked at the towering tower, her eyes still unwilling:
“All of this is for the rise of the downtown area.”
"Rise? Gu Jianuo, don't beautify yourself too much. Do you still remember the way that little girl looked at you before she died
If you really cared about the feeling of the downtown area, you wouldn't add your own things.
You... are selfish.”
I don’t know if it was because Xu Le touched a sore spot or because of my own obsession.
Gu Jianuo raised his head suddenly and roared at Ruan Di;
"Ruan Di!"
"I am here."
"Shut him up."
"yes."
Ruan Di rushed directly towards Xu Le. It was obvious that after he transformed into the golden tree, his ideology was connected with Gu Jianuo.
If it weren't for the Kuroshio Current, this method would be quite outrageous.
But at this time Xu Le was not afraid at all, instead he said as if to remind him:
"Are you angry because of shame? If you want me to shut up, why don't you use a puppet?"
Gu Jianuo gritted her teeth and used the divination puppet technique directly. She wanted to teach Xu Le, her disobedient subordinate, a lesson.
"Kneel down."
Xu Le raised his head slightly and looked at her expressionlessly.
The situation that Gu Jianuo imagined, where Xu Le would kneel before her and surrender, did not occur.
Of course, Xu Le didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
"Then what?"
Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le in disbelief. How could it be possible? How could the soul control of the divination doll be ineffective
"You hid the doll? I tell you that's futile. Unless you destroy the doll, it can take effect anywhere."
Xu Le nodded silently again.
"I see. So, what next?"
For some reason, when Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le at this moment, he suddenly had the illusion that the other person was very tall.
It's not just the height, but the indifference and the feeling that makes her unable to control it.
"You destroyed the puppet? How is that possible? You'll die if you do that."
“Every warlock has powerful abilities. I have always believed in this. In my opinion, Miss Gu Jianuo is also powerful.
Therefore, I will face you with all my preparation, all my strength, all my knowledge, and complete thinking.
Hack your abilities, hack your thoughts, and... hack your puppetry."
When hearing that Xu Le could crack the puppet spell, even the determined Gu Jianuo couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
The technique of controlling puppets has actually... been bothering her for 14 years.
From the moment she handed her doll to Xiong Zemo 14 years ago, she completely lost her freedom, faith, and everything.
If that kind of thing could be easily detached from, she would have done it long ago.
Why wait until now, until the relationship with Xiong Zemo can no longer be maintained
She looked at Xu Le with a hint of hope.
"How did you crack it?"
Seeing Gu Jianuo’s lost mind, Xu Le knew that this might be his fleeting opportunity in the thread of fate.
He took out a card from his pocket and threw it to Gu Jianuo.
"Everyone has his own destiny. When a warlock takes control of his own destiny, some things can change."
Gu Jianuo subconsciously took the Gu Yinduo Destiny Card.
"What do you mean? Is this your struggle before death?"
Although her heart was deeply shaken, her will was not so easily yielded.
Ruan Di on the side took another step closer, and the branches of the golden tree had extended to the side of Xu Le.
Gu Beichen and Wang Shu had already clenched their weapons, and it seemed that an internal conflict was about to break out at this moment.
But Xu Le was not moved at all. He remained indifferent and lofty.
It's like being a spectator from a different perspective.
"Gu Jianuo, I am a Red Moon Warlock. This is the divination I made for you with all my heart and soul. Don't you want to take a look?"
Gu Jianuo was silent for a while, and finally turned over the card in his hand!
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.
"Marionette? Are you being sarcastic? Or is this a hint?"
Gu Jianuo certainly knew something about the Red Moon Warlock, otherwise she wouldn't be able to change the divination results.
Even using techniques such as countering divination dolls.
Gu Jianuo only felt disgust towards the Marionette card.
"It's neither sarcasm nor a hint, Gu Jianuo. This card is a revelation I made for you. It's destiny's arrangement. Take a good look at it."
Gu Jianuo frowned slightly. Xu Le’s words were a little puzzling. Look at a card
She is not a Red Moon Warlock, what is she looking at? How is she looking at it
At this moment, Xu Le suddenly pointed at her, and her warlock's intuition made her subconsciously want to dodge this ordinary finger.
But her body seemed to be trapped by the card in front of her, unable to move at all.
The sense of déjà vu of fate actually penetrated Xu Le's world of consciousness and dragged Gu Jianuo into it.
…
The earth became empty and all the people disappeared.
Besides Hongyue, there are only her and Xu Le left in this world.
"What did you do to me? Where is this place?" Gu Jianuo frowned.
"This is the world of destiny, where the thread of fate exists."
Xu Le stood calmly in front of Gu Jianuo and spoke calmly.
"A world determined by fate? If fate is determined, what's the point of knowing it?"
Xu Le had his back to the red moon, the light of the full moon shone on him, giving him an extra layer of red holiness.
In this world of destiny, Xu Le's body slowly floated up.
When Gu Jianuo looked up at Xu Le, a kingly feeling appeared on Xu Le.
Gu Jianuo subconsciously thought of a title.
Is Xu Le someone who can control his own destiny
Xu Le slowly opened his eyes, he rubbed his fingers slightly, and a thin silver thread gradually appeared in his hands.
"The predetermined fate forms threads of destiny. When you can grasp the threads of your own destiny, you have the possibility to change your destiny.
This is a real thread of destiny, do you want to try it?"
Gu Jianuo looked at the silver thread and stretched out his hand, his body trembling slightly.
The warlock's intuition told her not to touch Xu Le's thread.
But the failure of the potion, the confusion about the future, and the desire for destiny in her heart made her completely suppress her rationality as a warlock.
In the end, Gu Jianuo reached out his hand towards the thread of destiny.
Buzz!
A strong consciousness rushed into Gu Jianuo's mind.
This consciousness destroyed all her original mental energy. At this moment, even Xu Le in front of her disappeared.
She stood alone under the red moon.
Faced with the endless black tide of monsters, all that was left was despair, helplessness, and fear.
She wanted to move her body, but found that her body was entangled by silk threads and she could not move at all.
Then, she began to be pulled by these silk strings like a puppet. She was hung in the air, her body controlled, and she became a puppet.
Each of these silk threads carries a special symbol.
Although she had never seen these symbols before, she seemed to understand their meaning.
Freedom, power, dignity, knowledge.
These threads that controlled her destiny pulled her continuously, and in the process deprived her of the power to resist.
Leaving her to become a puppet who succumbs to fate.
As the strange black tide got closer and closer, Gu Jianuo, unwilling to accept his fate, went completely crazy.
"I don't believe it!"
Her body surged, her bones began to mutate, metal wrapped around her arms, and her claws gradually extended.
After transforming into the demon form, she bit the threads of fate that bound her.
The solid fate was almost unshakable. Gu Jianuo tore out his teeth and broke his claws.
But she still did not give up resisting. She didn't believe that this would be her fate. She didn't believe that she would die here.
"I don't believe it!~"
A red, rotten liquid gushed out of the demon's mouth.
These liquids gradually corroded the silk threads. Gu Jianuo pulled with all her strength, and finally the silk threads were torn apart one by one.
She knelt on one knee on the ground like a trapped animal, looking at the strange tide approaching, and let out a signature roar:
“Kakakaka!~”
…
"Did you see that?"
Xu Le's voice rang in Gu Jianuo's ears, freeing her from the déjà vu of fate.
At this time, they still exist in the first level of the world of destiny, which is the world where destiny is predetermined as Xu Le said.
After making sure that he was free from the feeling that his fate was being controlled, Gu Jianuo quickly looked at the silk thread in his hand.
She found that the silk thread had broken!
Xu Le smiled slightly.
“It seems that you have chosen a path that goes against fate, and you have the power to resist it.
This road is not easy to walk, have you thought about it?"
Gu Jianuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Le, without giving a clear answer to Xu Le's question.
"snort!"
The world of destiny was shattered, and Gu Jianuo and Xu Le returned to reality again.
The two of them negotiated for a long time in the world of destiny.
But in reality, only a few seconds have passed.
In the eyes of Gu Beichen and Wang Shu, it was as if Gu Jianuo was holding the black card - the puppet was silent for a few seconds.
Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Jianuo first looked at Ruan Di’s golden tree people.
After hesitating for a few seconds.
Finally, she looked at Xu Le in front of her and said:
"Let's go."
