Wang Shu is a bit dull, but he is not stupid. How could he do something like killing someone so casually
Even though he was a night watchman, Gu Beichen's family were all from the upper city area. If he wasn't careful, he would end up getting himself into trouble, which was not worth it.
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
Gu Beichen thought for a while before saying:
"What she said was true. The house is in her name."
"Then what?"
"Murder is against the law, and I'm still young."
Gu Beichen was very sincere, and Wang Shu nodded:
"So... you want me to take the blame for you."
Gu Beichen thought for a while:
"Um."
Wang Shu nodded again, and sighed that Gu Beichen was such an honest man.
Gu Beichen sighed. It was impossible for Wang Shu to take action. He couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldn't kill this man.
"Second brother, I've been away from home for a long time, why do this?"
"Hehehe, Second Sister is just joking with you too."
Gu Xijing suddenly laughed.
Her smile was a little neurotic, and Gu Beichen didn't know whether it was her disguise or she was like this all along.
But just now he had a feeling that the other party really wanted to kill him.
Gu Beichen silently picked up the clothes on the table and said to Wang Shu:
"Xiaoshu, let's go."
"Just leaving like that?"
Wang Shu frowned slightly. Rather than just leaving like this, he actually preferred the approach they had just taken in discussing Xu Le.
Just kill the person directly and worry about the rest later.
Gu Beichen's character is still a little too soft.
"She is... after all."
"knew."
Wang Shu didn't let Gu Beichen finish speaking. He directly picked up Gu Xijing's pistol and prepared to leave.
Gu Xijing should have practiced before, and his level is probably that of a level 0 warrior, which is between level 1 and ordinary people.
Under normal circumstances, people like these cannot pose any threat to them without guns.
When he reached the door, Gu Beichen emphasized again:
"She's a lunatic, she only has eyes for her brother."
"You're not his brother?"
"no."
Wang Shu nodded and understood what Gu Beichen meant. He looked at his watch and it was almost 12 o'clock.
"Where are we going at this hour?"
"I don't know. It seems like I have nowhere to go except here."
Gu Beichen looked a little lonely.
Seeing his sad look, Wang Shu wanted to punch him twice.
Not to mention things like talent and hard work, in terms of personal character, there is indeed some gap between Gu Beichen and Xu Le.
"How about we go to the dormitory? We have to find a place to sleep, right?"
"Didn't you vacate your dorm?"
Wang Shu and Gu Beichen live together, which was arranged by Bai Jing.
Although Gu Beichen is a level 2 warlock, his identity is somewhat special and his personality is rather bad. He cannot get along with others and is unwilling to live in the night watchman's dormitory.
So Bai Jing could only arrange for Wang Shu to live with him and protect him at the same time.
"I mean... go to Xu Le's place?"
When Gu Beichen heard Xu Le, he originally wanted to refuse directly, but he raised his hand and looked at his fingers that were gradually turning into elements.
Sneered:
"Hehe, it's time for us disaster warlocks to show our prowess."
…
At 2 o'clock in the morning, Xu Le withdrew from the realm of the mother tree.
His hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably, which would have been fine, but the key point was that he kept grinning from time to time, which looked a bit scary.
Meow!
Ding Ke looked at Xu Le with some concern. Did this guy go crazy because of a nightmare
After Xu Le grinned foolishly for a while, he sat on the chair and stretched out a hand.
Under Ding Ke's gaze, ancient sound energy gradually emerged, and the blue light of the electric current made the room brighter.
Xu Le's palm had turned into pure elemental electricity, and there was no damage at the point where the electricity touched the flesh.
This is the first step in elementalizing the body.
Local elementization.
"Ding Ke, my progress is pretty fast, right?"
Ding Ke was also a little shocked. Although she had never eaten elemental fruit, she still knew the difficulty of cultivating the elemental ability.
Normally, the fastest time would take several months and would require a large amount of recovery medicine and alchemical potions.
If one's talent is a little less, it is possible that one will not be able to master it in several years or even in a lifetime.
After all, the ability of elementalization is to use one's own life to explore the way.
Meow meow!
Ding Ke narrowed his eyes and nodded to Xu Le in approval.
Xu Le had just dispersed the electric energy and was lying on the bed getting ready to go to sleep when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Looking at the door, Xu Le felt a little nervous:
"Knocking at this time, could it be that something strange happened at the staircase? No, if it was something strange, then they would have probably broken in.
I guess there's an idiot outside the door... Who is it?"
"I."
The voice of Shu Ge
"Don't try to fool me. You are not Brother Shu. Go away now. I won't report you in the middle of the night."
Xu Le didn't want to get out of bed. Wang Shu came to see him at this time, most likely for no good reason.
"You owe the captain and Mr. Gan 35,000."
"You're talking nonsense, it's 34,000, don't even think about extorting a thousand dollars from me"
Xu Le opened the door helplessly, only to find that besides Wang Shu, there was also that guy Gu Beichen standing at the door.
"Are you two sick? Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Something has happened here, and we would like to ask you to stay with us for a while."
Xu Le was shocked. Isn't this just asking too much
"My room is only 30 square meters, and there are three men here. Are you kidding me?"
"More than 30 square meters is enough for living." Wang Shu nodded.
"Your environment is really bad." Gu Beichen was still the same.
Xu Le had no choice but to sleep on the bed with Ding Ke in his arms, curled up in the corner against the wall.
Gu Beichen and Wang Shu were sleeping on the floor, well, it was a man on top of another man.
In this kind of weather, Xu Le usually doesn't cover himself with a blanket when he sleeps.
But today, he somehow covered himself with a quilt, mainly to cover his buttocks to prevent any accidents at night.
After lying down, Gu Beichen suddenly asked:
"Xu Le, let me ask you something."
"What on earth do you want to do if you don't sleep? Ask me."
"What would you do if someone wanted to kill you?"
Xu Le was stunned. Why did Gu Beichen suddenly ask this question
"We must be trying to find a way to kill him and eliminate the trouble forever."
Xu Le's answer did not surprise Gu Beichen. After a moment of silence, he asked again:
“What if this person is someone you know, or even a relative?”
Xu Le was even more surprised now, but his answer remained the same.
"I don't have such a high level of ideological awareness, my idea is to take revenge.
He is going to kill you, not to mention your relatives, even your father won’t do that.”
"Even my own father can't do that?"
"Yes, even my own father can't do that."
Gu Beichen stopped talking, and Xu Le thought he was asleep, so he also prepared to go to sleep.
Who knew that after a while, Gu Beichen said again:
"But I... can't do it!"
Xu Le originally wanted to curse, but he suddenly realized something was wrong and entered a state of emptiness to sort out his thoughts.
After finishing his thoughts, Xu Le's breathing suddenly stagnated, and then he stood up and exclaimed:
"You want to kill your father?"
"My father wants to kill me."
"Stop, go to sleep."
Xu Le covered himself with the quilt and decided not to continue the topic.
He was just a weakling and didn't want to get involved in such family affairs or things like the return of Young Master Long.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Wang Shu, as a warrior, had already gotten up to exercise, while Gu Beichen and Xu Le, who were in transition from training, lay in bed and took a nap.
Wang Shu is very organized and good at taking care of others. While making breakfast for himself, he also did not forget to prepare breakfast for Xu Le and Gu Beichen.
However, when he saw Ding Ke, he hesitated.
Wang Shu himself is still very concerned about black cats.
So I didn’t prepare cat food for Ding Ke.
When Xu Le and Gu Beichen got up, it was already past noon.
Elemental cultivation is very harmful to the body and very mentally draining. Both of them were in a transitional state of cultivation yesterday, so they slept for so long.
"Xu Le, let's practice together."
"Um?"
"I say, let's practice together and transform into elements."
"You guys are not going to stay here tonight?"
Xu Le looked disgusted, but Wang Shu came over and explained:
“No, it was too late yesterday, and we will apply for separate dormitories today, so you don’t have to worry about that.
However, regarding practicing together, you still need to discuss it among yourselves."
Xu Le originally wanted to refuse, but he thought about it and felt that if Gu Beichen's strength could make great progress, it would be a good thing for the entire team.
"Practicing together? That's not impossible."
"Then come on. Rain or shine, I'll wait for you outside the city."
Looking at Gu Beichen's smug expression, Xu Le guessed that this boy might have made some progress in his elementalization.
The talent is indeed very high, and fortunately I am not bad either.
"Then let's walk?"
"Walking."
…
Walking out of the city wall, under the watchful eyes of a group of guards, the three of them came to the wilderness outside the city.
The three of them stopped at a big pit. This was the place where Xu Le tested the little sun last time.
Gu Beichen looked at the pedestrians in the distance and frowned slightly:
"This place is so close to the city that there are occasionally pedestrians."
"It's safe because there are pedestrians. At least there won't be any weird threats."
"Well, shall we get started?"
As Gu Beichen spoke, he half-pretended to stretch out his hand, and the cold air gathered, and his index finger had turned into an ice cube.
This method of local elementalization is indeed amazing.
"Well, not bad, but unfortunately, mine is bigger than yours!"
Xu Le also stretched out his hand, electric current flashed, and his entire palm turned into blue light.
Gu Beichen was surprised at first, then he became angry:
"No way, how can you be faster than me?"
"That can't be helped. I'm a genius after all."
Although Gu Beichen was shocked, he was still very curious about how Xu Le practiced.
Maybe he has many shortcomings, but his pursuit of becoming stronger has never changed.
"How did you do that?"
"Why, no?"
Gu Beichen's chest rose and fell a few times, and he suddenly lowered his head:
"Can you teach me?"
Xu Le blinked and looked at this guy with an insolent self-esteem, feeling a little surprised.
Perhaps for him, bowing his head is already a big compromise.
"sure."
Gu Beichen paused. If Xu Le declined, he would feel better.
But Xu Le agreed directly like that, doesn't that make him seem very generous
If you keep fussing about every little thing, won't you appear to be petty
I lost, I lost so much!
He clenched his fists:
"I will definitely surpass you in the next few days."
"Okay." Xu Le blinked again.
Wang Shu looked at the two people who were showing off to each other and shook his head helplessly.
In the next few days, Xu Le's scolding could be heard from time to time on this wasteland.
"The basis of elementalization is the control of elemental arc light."
"Elemental instability will cause great harm to the body. You must avoid it and don't take risks."
"Gu Beichen, are you stupid? If you fail to control your elementalized limbs, you will be dead.
Do you understand the step-by-step approach? If you don’t understand, ask and learn.”
"Control the energy in small amounts first, let it gather, and then convert it. The stability will be much higher."
At the beginning, Gu Beichen tried to refute a few words, but later on, he simply kept silent.
The main reason was that he felt that a lot of what Xu Le said made sense, and he didn't have much strength to refute it.
I couldn't argue with him and I was embarrassed, so I just kept silent.
He also didn't understand why Xu Le's control over elements was so strong.
Many of the techniques and key points that Xu Le talked about cannot be explained in such detail if you have not truly practiced and experienced them.
But Xu Le's daily routine here is just sleeping, which makes Gu Beichen feel the disparity in the world.
Gu Beichen remained silent, pretending to be deep.
He planned to learn all of Xu Le's skills.
Then slap him in the face!
"I will work hard quietly and then surprise everyone. Well, this is a mature training plan."
It's not shameful to humble yourself in order to learn skills.
At this time, Xu Le was leaning against a rock, his body twitching from time to time, as if he was a zombie.
With the protection of Gu Beichen and Wang Shu here, he felt particularly at ease.
Immersed in the realm of the mother tree, Xu Le's body shattered again and again.
The error of elementalization is vividly reflected here.
Flesh, bones, and skin, if any of them is not stable during the elemental transformation, it will cause severe damage to oneself.
"No wonder some people need several years to practice elementalization. The cost of failure is too high."
Xu Le kept his mind focused and once again transformed his body into the form of electric current.
This time, he stabilized for about 0.3 seconds.
Bang!
The body shattered and then gathered together again, and Xu Le was slightly surprised.
“Progress!”
This kind of whole-body synchronization training of his is the most effective. If successful, then the synchronization of his elementalization will be unparalleled.
But the disadvantage is that if you use this method of cultivation outside, you will be gone if you fail once.
Fortunately, just as Chi Xiao said, there are no limits to cultivation.
"continue!"
Once you get into the rhythm of practice, time passes quickly.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the afternoon of the tenth day, Wang Shu pointed his gun at Gu Beichen and said hesitantly:
"Are you really going to shoot?"
"If you don't even dare to try to cultivate, then you probably won't be able to adjust your mentality when facing something weird. Come on."
After being scolded by Xu Le for ten days, Gu Beichen had already become numb.
At this moment, his face was more calm and less arrogant than before, and he looked much more mature.
Of course, Wang Shu noticed this change and nodded.
"Then I shot."
Bang!
Flames were spurting out of the muzzle of the gun, and as a bullet was fired instantly, Gu Beichen's chest gradually turned into ice.
Bang!
A large piece of ice shattered, and Gu Beichen's body retreated a few steps.
But more ancient sound energy surged out from his body, and these energies formed new ice and frost, quickly repairing the piece that was broken by the bullet.
Soon, the fully restored Frost Chest returned to its physical state.
Gu Beichen touched his chest and slowly clenched his fists.
"Xiaoshu, I succeeded."
"congratulations."
Wang Shu sincerely congratulated Gu Beichen for being able to complete the elementalization in ten days. This talent and hard work was absolutely admirable.
"Humph, that guy Xu Le has been bullying me for ten days. Today I'll let him know what a genius is. Where is Xu Le? Come out!"
The corner of Wang Shu's mouth twitched. He originally thought that Gu Beichen had changed during this period of time.
I didn't expect that he was still the same, but his pretentious side was dormant.
Now that I have made progress in my practice, I have started again.
"I don't know. He hasn't slept since the day before yesterday. He has been busy preparing bullets these past two days. I just don't know where he has gone."
"A warlock actually needs a pistol to carry around. How pathetic."
Wang Shu frowned slightly, looked at the time, and then pointed to the sky.
"Beichen, it's getting dark."
"He won't go out into the wild by himself, will he?"
While the two were discussing Xu Le, Xu Le was sitting at the edge of a forest deeper outside the city.
Next to him stood a somewhat eerie scarecrow, while Xu Le himself was dozing with his eyes closed.
None of these are the key points. The key point is that he didn't turn on the light.
The current area is an open environment with a light intensity of 3, darkness, and level 1 weirdness will appear randomly after 15 seconds.
Xu Le had no intention of turning on the light, and time passed quickly.

When Xu Le was wondering what strange thing would happen in such an empty environment without a corpse, a wild deer walking in the darkness suddenly let out a cry.
The scarecrow next to Xu Le did not move, but a pair of blood-red horns suddenly emerged from the darkness.
Septic Deer, Level 1 Monster, Deformed Species, Ancient Sounds
When the pair of sharp antlers were about to hit Xu Le, Xu Le's body flashed with blue light.
Electric energy surges!
The blood deer just passed through his body.
And when it passed through Xu Le's body, the electric current turned into a scorched lake.
However, as a deformed species, the blood deer's body is very strong. Although its skin has been charred and broken, the exposed muscles inside have not suffered enough damage.
Xu Le was not very surprised by this result.
He took out his revolver and raised his hand slightly.
Looking at the blood deer rushing towards him again, Xu Le pulled the trigger.
boom!
A ball of blue energy spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, which was the purest power of ancient Yinduo.
The center of energy is the energy of fear.
The huge vibration caused the gun in Xu Le's hand to shake.
The bullet cut through the air and hit the blood deer's head.
This bullet not only has the impact of ammunition, but also the explosion of ancient sound and mental energy.
Normal shooting will only leave a bullet hole.
But at this moment, the solid deer head exploded like a watermelon, and the red and white objects shattered all over the ground.
Without any neighing or struggling, the blood deer just fell to the ground.
The current area is an open environment with a light intensity of 3, darkness, and a level 1 weirdness will randomly appear after 9 minutes and 59 seconds.
Xu Le did not try again at this time. He turned on the oil lamp that he had prepared long ago.
Then he started to wipe the blood off his shoes. After a while, Gu Beichen and Wang Shu came over.
"Xu Le? We just heard gunshots. What happened?"
"Nothing, the matter has been resolved."
Gu Beichen looked at the headless deer corpse on the ground, lit a fire and burned the corpse.
"Are you in danger?"
"It's not that dangerous. It's just normal shooting practice."
When facing his teammates, Xu Le rarely lies and he always tells the truth.
What we did just now was just normal shooting practice.
"The holiday will end tomorrow, go back and report."
"Well, I think we can start preparing for the next mission after we get back."
Looking at the calm Xu Le, Gu Beichen's originally provocative words eventually turned into another sentence:
"Me too."
