"Be careful, it's alive!"
Although Xu Le's reminder was surprising, it was not without effect.
The first to be hit were Zhou Jie, Bai Jing and Gu Jianuo, who were standing closest.
Bai Jing stopped Gu Jianuo behind her, and the moment he was about to take action, Zhou Jie immediately drew his sword and rushed forward, the sharp blade collided with the hard iron fist.
winter!
Like the sound of a heavy bell, there was a fierce roar between the sword and the fist.
Zhou Jie, who was almost killed by the statue before, was filled with rage. He used all his strength to push away the statue's arm, then pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the statue's eye socket.
Maybe his strength is not as good as the statue's, but his skills are truly overwhelming.
bite!
The dagger pierced the eyeball accurately, and the statue's body leaned back noticeably.
Zhou Jie could feel that his attack had taken effect, but when he looked at the statue again, he found that the statue's eyeballs had recovered.
"It is an awakened monster with the ability to transform into elements. It can repair itself in a very short time after sustaining this kind of physical damage."
Xu Le, who also possesses the elemental ability, naturally knows the outrageousness of this ability.
And he also felt that this was just weird and outrageous.
Its abilities seemed to be specially designed by someone.
An iron statue that has mastered the awakening of the iron element. Its strength, defense, and speed are all abnormal, and it also has certain special attack effects.
Is this the extreme of how weird ancient music can be
Can a level 3 warlock fight against such a monster alone
Xu Le subconsciously glanced at Gu Jianuo. Well, maybe not. There are also differences between warlocks.
However, Xu Le also noticed one thing when observing the statue.
The awakened ability that originally existed - immortality, disappeared at this time.
The statue's other attributes and abilities are still there, but the immortality ability is gone. Does this mean that it can be killed now
The statue's fist hit Zhou Jie again, and Zhou Jie vomited blood and flew out. Several other warriors from Team 5 also rushed forward.
But faced with such anomalies, the warriors' abilities were simply too weak.
Their attacks were too simple and could not hurt an iron statue that controlled the iron element. After withstanding several attacks, the statue instantly grabbed a level 3 warrior.
The warrior struggled in the statue's grasp, but he had no way of breaking free.
"Akai!"
Zhou Jie exclaimed, and Bai Jing, who had been protecting Gu Jianuo, finally withdrew her hand.
She rushed forward, the machete in her hand glowing slightly.
When the statue was ravaging Akai's body, Bai Jing slashed it with a knife.
bite!
The sword almost embedded itself into the body of the statue, and the force of the sword almost cut off half of the statue's shoulder.
"Is it injured?"
"It's useless." Bai Jing said to herself.
Yes, she had already felt that this level of attack was completely futile.
The physical defense of the statue is too strong.
If it was just a defense, it would be fine. But as long as the destruction continued, the day would come when the statue would be shattered.
But the question now is whether it can be recovered.
This makes the battle become an unsolvable and meaningless state.
Kacha!
The neck of the level 3 warrior Akai was broken by the withering statue, and his body was still being ravaged by the withering statue, but the others had no way to deal with it.
"Spell - Ice Cage."
The cold ice cage trapped the statue, and the statue's body instantly froze, even showing signs of being frozen.
But the statue didn't care at all. It grabbed the air with its right hand and then punched out instantly.
The ripples that looked like water droplets appeared again.
"escape!"
boom!
This punch was like an air cannonball, leaving only corpses and blood wherever it passed. The level 2 Frost Disaster Warlock died just like that.
But after delivering this punch, the statue actually stopped moving.
It slowly turned around and allowed Bai Jing to chop at it from behind. Although these blows left marks on its body, there was no possibility of killing it at all.
The statue walked silently, returned to the center of the fountain pool and squatted down.
Become the thinker you were before.
Two people from Team 5 died, Zhou Jie was injured, and everyone looked unhappy.
They surrounded the statue, but no one tried to touch it at this time.
If the statue wakes up again, the people here will be in trouble again.
"Captain Zhou, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
Bai Jing walked over and apologized, but Zhou Jie just waved his hand indifferently.
"Your team is also missing one person, right? There's no need for us to say anything more about this matter."
As a captain of the Night's Watch, separation and death have long become commonplace.
This is especially true for joint missions, which are difficult for a single team to accomplish, and casualties are inevitable.
"Prepare for cremation."
"yes."
A group of people looked at the statue vigilantly, but the statue seemed to have no intention of moving again.
Others also discovered that the statue's two actions seemed to have started after someone approached the fountain pool.
Now that everyone has left the fountain pool, there should be no problem.
"What now?"
Zhou Jie's voice was a little low, and his mental energy fluctuated, but as the captain, his mind was still stable enough.
Bai Jing shook her head slightly. She had no way of judging the current situation and could only look at Xu Le.
"Xu Le, where did you get the information just now?"
"I've read about it in some very miscellaneous books."
It wasn’t a good excuse, but no one questioned it.
Seeing that everyone else was looking forward to it, Xu Le continued:
Moreover, I feel that the statues before me have the same origin as the light spiders I encountered during the day, and the source of their power is light.
When the light appears, they are very powerful, but when the light is gone, they enter another form. "
Bai Jing and Zhou Jie looked at each other. Although Zhou Jie was not quite sure about Xu Le's background, it seemed that Bai Jing trusted this guy very much.
"Any other information? If so, please share as much as you can."
Xu Le nodded. Unless he released the little sun, he would not be able to deal with the statue.
"The statue has two awakening abilities in total."
"two?"
"Yes, the first one is immortality. This state is achieved when the statue is squatting in the pond and thinking about its form, but as soon as it moves, the immortal state will disappear.
I don't know what the specific effect of this ability is. I guess that in its immortal state, it is difficult to be destroyed by external forces.
Of course, if we have that kind of absolutely overwhelming power, we might be able to shatter this kind of immortality, but we don’t have that kind of power.”
immortal!
This information is important to both captains. If the statue has immortality in its solidified state, it can only be dealt with when it is active.
"Go on, what is the other ability?"
"Another ability is the lower element - iron. It itself is iron, and it has mastered elementalization, so it can repair itself at any time.
Your physical attacks are not ineffective, but they are repaired by it."
Everyone who heard this conclusion was surprised. If that was the case, wouldn’t that mean they were invincible
I'm afraid no one present here can kill the statue in one go
Bai Jing, who had been deep in thought, now opened her eyes:
"According to Xu Le's information, we have a relatively safe way to kill the statue."
"What does the White Team mean?"
"Explodes in wake."
Bai Jing's idea was also Xu Le's idea, that the statue had immortal characteristics when it was unable to move.
Even a powerful explosion cannot destroy it.
But if he moves and his immortality disappears, the explosion will definitely be effective.
As long as enough explosives are placed and the blasting distance is close enough, the body of the statue can be completely destroyed in one go.
That way, he should be able to be killed.
"Old Cow, prepare the explosives."
"yes."
"Wait." Xu Le stopped Bai Jing again. Bai Jing was not surprised and asked directly:
"Xu Le, if you have anything else to add, just say it."
“Ms. Gu Jianuo is an alchemist, and she can create a more powerful explosive than the hybrid bomb we use.
This type of bomb has a certain degree of adhesion and is very small, making it very suitable for this blasting mission."
Hearing Xu Le say this, Bai Jing and Zhou Jie immediately looked at Gu Jianuo:
"Arnold, can you do it now?"
"Sure, no problem."
When it comes to things like blasting, the captains are much more experienced than Xu Le, a rookie.
After asking Gu Jianuo how to use the Alchemical Bomb Type III, they immediately dispatched two warriors to tie up the statue with ropes and ground nails.
The rope is made of very elastic fiber, but it is certainly not expected that this rope will be able to trap the statue.
The purpose is just to prevent the statue from running around as much as possible between the time it wakes up and the time the bomb explodes.
For example, a big jump into a crowd, an explosion and the whole group is wiped out.
When everyone was busy, Xu Le seemed to have nothing to do.
He turned around and looked at the camp, wanting to see what was happening behind him, but found that Gu Beichen was missing.
"Captain, Gu Beichen is missing."
Bai Jing immediately turned her head to look towards the camp, and Gu Beichen, who had been guarding the fire, was really gone!
"Gu Beichen? Gu Beichen?"
Bai Jing called out a few times, but there was no response.
Wang Shu also looked towards the camp at this time. After seeing that Gu Beichen was not there, he punched the wall hard.
"This guy is really hopeless."
He was usually rather indifferent, but now he looked somewhat depressed.
boom!
At this moment, there was a loud bang in the darkness, and flames filled the sky, raging so hard that the flames almost illuminated the sky.
Gu Beichen slowly walked out of the flames and appeared in front of everyone.
As he walked, he put on his night watchman's coat.
"Stop shouting, I'm not dead."
"Gu Beichen, where have you been? What happened to the explosion just now?" Bai Jing asked with a frown.
A person walked into the darkness like this, late at night, and no one could tell what happened.
"I'm going to the bathroom. It should be okay to go to the bathroom, right?"
"What about the explosion?"
"The explosion just now was just my way of venting my anger. The captain knows that I lost my loved one."
Gu Beichen was very calm. If Wang Shu had this expression, no one would be surprised.
But when Gu Beichen acted like this, everyone felt that there was something wrong.
Bai Jing looked at him and found some water stains on his trouser legs, but there seemed to be no problems elsewhere.
Going to the toilet? Water stains on pants? Did you pee in your pants
Although this was really Bai Jing's first thought, she still felt that something was wrong with Gu Beichen at this moment.
“Leaving a location without reporting in the middle of the night is a very dangerous practice in itself.
You are not a newcomer anymore, you should understand this principle, right? "
"I know I was in a bad mood just now, so I acted a little willfully. I won't do that again next time, Captain.
If the captain still doesn't believe me, you can ask Mr. Gan to come and check if I'm contaminated."
Gu Beichen spoke at a moderate pace, calmly and contentedly.
At this moment, he actually seemed to be willing to deal with the world, which made people feel very strange.
When Bai Jing heard Gu Beichen say this, she actually asked Gan to come over and check his mental energy status and contamination situation.
The result was good, which made Bai Jing feel a little relieved.
"Forget it, get some rest and get up before 5am tomorrow morning."
"clear."
Bai Jing looked at Gu Beichen again and then left.
Wang Shu frowned and looked at Gu Beichen, trying to see something from his eyes.
"Beichen, are you okay?"
But Gu Beichen just said calmly:
"I'm fine, little tree. I'll get better and better in the future. I'll reach the highest peak of this world, go to places that others can't reach, and see the wonders of this world."
Gu Beichen’s words made Wang Shu’s heart tighten suddenly. Is this guy crazy
He used to only say “I want to be the most handsome guy in the lighthouse”, why did he suddenly change his personality
"Beichen, let's have a good chat after the mission is over."
"Okay, I had the same idea."
Gu Beichen nodded to Wang Shu, then jumped over him and walked in front of Xu Le.
"Shunliu's death is all because of you."
Xu Le did not reply, because Gu Beichen in front of him gave him a strange feeling. First of all, he had said this sentence several times before. Was there any need to repeat it
Then in terms of mental energy, Gu Beichen's mental energy was almost zero.
Under Gu Yin's multi-perspective observation, mental emotions are the most difficult things to hide.
In such a short time, his heart energy was almost gone, the anger was gone, and what remained was probably just a little bit of sadness.
What on earth happened to him
What happened to the explosion just now
"You really think so?"
Gu Beichen suddenly stretched out his middle finger towards Xu Le. The tip of his finger had turned into elemental frost and touched Xu Le.
"Fuck you Star."
Xu Le looked at Gu Beichen and nodded slowly. He repeated this nodding action many times and finally turned it into a sentence.
"You are indeed stupid."
Looking at the two people who were on the verge of a fight, Wang Shu felt helpless.
However, Gu Beichen doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to go berserk now, which is something to be thankful for.
"Okay, let's all take a break."
Wang Shu was just about to take a rest when he suddenly stopped.
Gu Beichen's actions just now, and his conversation with Xu Le...
He recalled the ten days when the three of them practiced together, and during an in-depth conversation, Gu Beichen made such a move once.
And there was a conversation between him and Xu Le at that time.
"Fuck you, you idiot uptown bastard."
"You're from Uptown, too."
"I'm different from them."
"What's the difference?"
"I don't play tricks."
"It's not that you don't want to play, it's that you're stupid and can't play well."
"roll."
This conversation is an extension of the class criticism of the upper city. After all, people like them who earn a few hundred yuan a month like to discuss politics.
But the action just now seemed a little special.
Wang Shu looked at Gu Beichen and Xu Le, both of whom had gone to bed separately.
They were very far away from each other, as if they had never seen each other again, let alone talked to each other.
"Mr. Wang Shu, where do I sleep?" Gu Jianuo asked cautiously.
Wang Shu glanced at her and hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Sleep next to me so I can protect you."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Wang Shu."
"You're welcome. It's all my duty."
Watching Gu Jianuo falling asleep beside him, Wang Shu did not sleep. He silently wiped his gun and knife, preparing for tomorrow's mission.
By the way... look at the person in front of you.
…
Xu Le was immersed in his own thoughts.
Gu Beichen was reminding him, reminding him very clearly.
There is a problem with Gu Jianuo.
So many things happened today, and everything happened so suddenly and so densely.
In a critical moment, even if he was in the ethereal state, he couldn't take care of everything.
So he must have missed something or someone during the day.
First of all, there is the Gujianuo apple, a harmless apple that will leave a mark on people.
Xu Le had no idea what the mark was for.
But he knew very well that this move was definitely not meaningless.
Then comes the battle of the Light Spider.
The first suspicious point in that battle was Li Shunliu's mistake.
After this suspicious incident, he and Wang Shu's attention was basically focused on Li Shunliu.
Thus overlooking some things.
guide.
The battle process is guided.
From the time when Gu Jianuo first discovered the Light Spider using her sense of smell, to when she later told herself that she could make a bomb powerful enough to kill a Level 3 Polluter.
She’s always guiding.
Unconsciously, I was heading towards the guided way of fighting.
During this process, Gu Jianuo was the only person who was not injured.
The death of the assassin Li Shunliu means that no one will test Gu Jianuo again.
If that's true!
Putting aside other things, is there a possibility... Gu Jianuo already knew that Li Shunliu wanted to kill her, and those opportunities were given to her by Gu Jianuo himself
By the time the team reunited, all the aftermath of the battle had subsided.
The Thinker Statue no longer moves, and its pollution characteristic is Lightforged, the same as the Light Spider.
And there is no sign of further action now.
If that is the case, then why did the statue move when everyone checked at 9 o'clock
Because it was checked by Gu Jianuo.
No matter how hard others tried, they couldn't move the immortal statue. But after Gu Jianuo touched the statue, it moved.
This is a huge doubt.
Xu Le couldn't even think of a reasonable explanation, but other people must have felt this doubt.
If there really was something wrong with Gu Jianuo, then why would she be willing to expose the doubts and make the statue take action
There is only one answer.
Here are the things she needs and the things she needs to do.
She couldn't accept the team giving up the mission because too many members died, so she needed to get rid of this statue.
"A conspiracy in the upper city
So the question is, how did this idiot Gu Beichen find out? "
