48
I don’t know if it’s because travelers are naturally aggressive, and most of them have the ability to rely on themselves, so they don’t care about winning or losing, life or death, they just want to gain the upper hand in momentum first…
Lian Chuan was betting that Ning Gu would be able to activate his abilities in a critical moment... or more precisely, when he was on the verge of death.
Ning Gu’s momentum is enough now, but I don’t know what will happen next.
Another point he was betting on was that once Ning Gu's erratic group skills were activated, he would be able to withstand it.
Judging from Ning Gu's decisive and resolute look, he probably didn't even consider the possibility that his own people would be affected.
Although there is no other choice in the current situation.
The natives rushed forward amid Ning Gu's hoarse voice, their speed already exceeding Lian Chuan's ability to stop them now, and they did not stop at all because of Ning Gu's momentum.
After all, they have no eyes.
The imposing Ning Gu is nowhere to be seen.
However, Ning Gu's abilities did not seem to be activated.
Lian Chuan did not feel any disappointment. He habitually had no expectations, so he did not need to face any disappointment. His only thought was to live until the end. He did not think about whether he would die or not, but only about how to live.
His hand quickly reached for his waist, where he could make his last struggle under the interference of the limiter, a strong source of stimulation that could overdraft all the energy in his body, allowing him to burst out again, and perhaps take Ning Gu out of the cave and hold on until the travelers led by Lin Fan arrived.
If Ning Gu wasn't brought along, there wouldn't be the word "maybe". Even if there was a limiter, he would definitely be able to get out by himself.
But he did not consider the second possibility and did not choose the path that would ensure his survival.
He didn't know why.
There is no need to know why. Since you have chosen it, you cannot hesitate.
Making the wrong choice will not necessarily lead to death, but hesitation will cost you your life.
Since we chose two people to live together...
When the natives were about to rush to Ning Gu, Lian Chuan clenched his left hand tightly, and four blue lights flashed from his tiger fingers, and the two nearest natives fell from the air.
The second half of the blue light passed across Ning Gu's back and waist.
Four deep black wounds appeared instantly.
Ning Gu seemed to feel nothing, he didn't move, and he didn't make a sound.
But Lian Chuan knew that something had happened.
The sounds around suddenly disappeared.
The whispers of the natives disappeared, the crackling sound of lightning from above disappeared, and the sound of fragments falling from the collapsed basement also disappeared...
Even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Lian Chuan saw a ripple.
A faint circle spread out from the fingertips of Ning Gu's raised left hand, transparent, and gently spread out in all directions like water waves.
Next comes the second transparent circle.
The third one.
Everything happened in just a moment, from the appearance of the first transparent circle to the sudden appearance of the fourth faint golden circle. The natives who were swept by Lian Chuan had just landed.
The golden circle suddenly grew larger, and into the surrounding darkness, a thin golden glow silently expanded.
Under a golden scaly light, the motionless travelers suddenly fell to the ground in an orderly manner.
The natives in the air seemed to suddenly lose power and all fell to the ground.
Lian Chuan didn't wait any longer. He jumped up, grabbed Ning Gu's waist, rushed to the wall, and while jumping up, he used his elbow to hit the edge of the hole that they had broken when they came down.
The already damaged cave ceiling suddenly broke into several larger pieces. Lian Chuan hugged Ning Gu's waist and jumped to the upper level.
There was a crackling sound when the debris on the ground hit my feet.
The sound is back.
The whistling sound of the wind, the crackling sound of lightning in the wind, the noisy shouts of travelers in the distance, and the low roar coming from the constantly breaking ground...
Lian Chuan leaned against the wall next to him and let go of Ning Gu.
Ning Gu fell to the ground with a thud.
I don’t know if he was overdrawn, but Lian Chuan used his foot to kick his arm and turned him over, with his face facing him.
Found his eyes were open.
That's fine.
Lian Chuan slowly sat down on the ground, not knowing how much time they had and whether it would be enough for him to recover his strength.
Ning Gu couldn't describe how he felt. It was like he was trapped in an iron barrel and suddenly exploded, and then the barrel was knocked off.
Use all your strength and enjoy it to the fullest.
But it's very tiring.
He lay on the ground for a long time before slowly sitting up. He first glanced at Lian Chuan, but his face was expressionless and nothing could be seen.
After looking around again, he suddenly jumped up from the ground.
"What's going on!" Ning Gu looked at the flashing electric wall around him in shock.
"I can't get out." Lian Chuan said.
The floor above the basement had completely collapsed into a huge pit at some point, and the entire ground had disappeared.
The lightning cracks passed through both sides, surrounding the collapsed upper basement in the middle.
The only way out that seemed possible was a narrow passage between two cracks, leading to the depths of Tongue Bay.
Whether they wanted to go out, or Lin Fan and his men wanted to come in, they could only go through that crack, and they needed to go around the Tongue Bay, and it was unknown how far they had to go.
If the starting point of the two lightning cracks is outside the boundary...
Ning Gu suddenly felt a little cold.
"Get out of there," Lian Chuan stood up, "while everyone down there falls, leave the basement first."
Ning Gu then came to his senses and suddenly remembered the traveler below, Uncle Crazy, and the nail that had not been found.
"Are they all dead?" Ning Gu's voice trembled.
"No," Lian Chuan glanced at him, "seems like he has lost consciousness."
"Can you wake up?" Ning Gu asked.
"It should be possible, so hurry up," Lian Chuan walked a few steps along the edge of the large pit on the upper level of the basement. There were flashing and jumping electric lights above the pit, and from time to time a few would penetrate into the pit. "Watch those lights."
"Yeah," Ning Gu followed him, "my back hurts, I don't know what's wrong."
"I cut myself a few times," Lian Chuan said.
"Why did you cut me a few times?" Ning Gu asked in shock.
"You hold your hands up and don't move," Lian Chuan said, "If I don't chop you awake, the natives will step on me."
Ning Gu suddenly remembered the previous scene.
The travelers seemed to be asleep.
The crazy uncle suddenly opened his eyes.
Throw themselves upon their natives.
And what followed these scenes again was that kind of hopeless anger.
"Have you noticed that you..." Lian Chuan turned around and suddenly grabbed his left hand before he finished speaking.
Ning Gu suddenly discovered that there was a translucent golden ring at the fingertips of his left hand, which seemed to be condensed in the air. When Lian Chuan grabbed it, it was dispersed in the air.
"What is this?" Ning Gu looked at him.
"One of your abilities," Lian Chuan also stared at him, "you'd better be able to control it."
"Why does it look familiar?" Ning Gu looked down at his fingertips again.
The fingertips have returned to their normal state, but there is still some black ash in the nails, which really damages the image of the store...
"Qi Hang." Lian Chuan gave him a name.
Ning Gu raised his head suddenly.
The face in the Lost Valley, made up of countless tiny golden particles in the air, swayed before his eyes.
"How could that be?" He couldn't understand.
"The main city has always suspected that you have a connection with Qi Hang. You can use his self-destruct device," Lian Chuan said, "but there is no connection with Qi Hang in your biological information."
"But this thing," Ning Gu raised his finger and shook it, "is it still related?"
"You'll have to ask the captain about this," Lian Chuan said, "For the captain and his three men to fight the main city twice with all their might to rescue the person, there must be a secret that only they know."
"Captain..." Ning Gu frowned. His previous experience made him start to waver. "Is he still alive?"
The iron chain that penetrated the shoulder blades completely eliminated the abilities of the captain and Li Xiang.
The same materials they used to control the indigenous people were also used with such success on themselves.
"The basement is really well built," the old ghost stood behind them. The pressure and influence brought by the iron chain on him were slowly recovering. Although his damaged vocal cords still made his voice hoarse and broken, the pauses and gasps had obviously decreased. "If the basement had not been solid enough for the lightning to penetrate, they wouldn't have been left with only this way to fall into their own trap..."
The captain looked forward and saw a passage more than ten meters wide between the lightning that burst out from the huge cracks on both sides. In front of him was a basement, and behind him was a dark boundary where no one could survive.
Ghost towns are falling.
Ning Gu, the only one who could still bring hope, was somewhere in this passage, walking towards them step by step in an irreversible manner.
Towards the end.
"Did you see the light just now?" The old ghost's voice suddenly became emotional, "Golden light, a little bit, I only saw a little bit... The only ability among travelers that can see with the naked eye... It's so beautiful..."
"Old ghost, keep him, he will be useful to you," said the captain, "even if everyone stays, as long as there is a battle, he will be needed."
The old ghost slowly walked up from behind, came in front of them, turned around and said: "Don't fight, just survive."
"As long as the main city exists, there is no survival without fighting," said the team leader.
“Once the collapse begins in full swing,” Li Xiang said, “it will be a fierce battle whether you leave or stay.”
"Right here!" The old ghost raised his voice hoarsely and waved his hand. "Who are the natives? How did they survive? Don't you know?"
"Leave Ning Gu here," Li Xiang said, "his abilities will be useful to you."
"I have my doubts about this," said the old ghost. "From the day you hid the fragment of Qi Hang in his body, you had already planned to train him to be like you, abandoning his homeland and sacrificing his companions for a meaningless goal..."
"Old Ghost," Li Xiang interrupted him, "He knows nothing. In the twenty-two years he has lived, he has been just an ordinary traveler. He has not even gone crazy like his other companions. Even his curiosity has been suppressed."
"I don't dare to take any more risks!" the old ghost roared, "I don't dare to trust you anymore! Not even a little bit!"
Li Xiang sighed softly.
"I won't kill him," the old ghost said, "I just want to take away the fragments before his abilities stabilize... You said he was just an ordinary traveler, right? Then I will give you a truly ordinary traveler."
"Then we will really," the leader looked at him, "really never have any contact with each other again."
"We have been strangers for a long time, haven't we?" The old ghost turned around and looked at the interweaving lightning in front of him. "Come, let's see what choice this ordinary traveler will make when faced with all the truth."
"Someone is here." Lian Chuan stopped.
Ning Gu also stopped and looked forward, only to see flashing electric light that almost covered the top of the passage.
"Where? In front?" he asked.
"Yeah." Lian Chuan responded.
"Is it the captain and Li Xiang?" Ning Gu asked anxiously.
"There is another one," Lian Chuan said, "who looks like an old ghost."
"Did they catch the old ghost?" Ning Gu raised his voice immediately.
"I'm afraid it's the other way around," Lian Chuan slowly squatted down, lowered his head and adjusted his state, "Ning Gu."
"Yeah." Ning Gu looked at him.
"If Lao Gui can subdue the leader and Li Xiang at the same time and control them," Lian Chuan said, "I definitely can't handle it in my current state."
"I'm here." Ning Gu said.
"Do you always win when you gamble?" Lian Chuan asked.
"Didn't I let you win just now?" Ning Gu was a little proud, but quickly added, "If it doesn't work, you can hit me four more times."
Lian Chuan smiled.
Ning Gu was stunned. After two seconds, he squatted down suddenly, supported himself with his hands, and tilted his head to look at Lian Chuan's face: "Did I hear you laugh?"
"Is it strange?" Lian Chuan said.
"I always thought you didn't have the ability to smile?" Ning Gu stared at his face. "Smile again? I didn't see it just now."
"The natives have fast attack speed, accurate judgment of sound, and the ability to merge," Lian Chuan did not respond to his words. Not only did his face not smile, but it also returned to being expressionless. "The old ghost has these characteristics, but his ability as a traveler is unknown."
"Yeah." Ning Gu nodded, "You still have so much to say."
"I didn't partner with fools before," Lianchuan said, "There's no need to explain so much."
Ning Gu stared at him for a while: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"From here to where they are, it's 400 meters," Lian Chuan said, "If the old ghost wants to attack, there may only be a distance of 200 meters for you to recall how your ability was activated before."
"I understand." Ning Gu lowered his voice.
Lian Chuan's words suddenly pulled him into a somewhat uneasy reality.
He needs to prepare for the tough battle that may come without fully understanding what his abilities are and how to motivate them.
"You have to be fearless," Lian Chuan stood up and began to walk slowly forward, "Ignore the cost and live."
As soon as the two figures appeared in the lightning, the old ghost raised his hand.
"Turn around—" the leader roared, "Ning Gu—turn around—"
As he roared, the black iron fragments on the ground were picked up by the old ghost, thrown high into the sky, wrapped in electric light, and rushed towards Ning Gu and Lian Chuan at an extremely high speed.
Lian Chuan jumped up and waved his hands violently, and a blue light weaved a net in the air.
The black iron fragments were blocked outside the blue light, splashing out a black mist-like fragment.
Ning Gu raised his left hand.
Two hundred meters. He never knew that two hundred meters was such a short distance.
So short that my mind went blank.
I can't even describe a picture.
Not a single thought came to mind.
But he had no other choice. He had already seen the regiment commander and Li Xiang with chains piercing their bodies, and heard the regiment commander's hoarse roar.
The old ghost raised his hand again.
A second wave of black iron debris wrapped in electric light rushed towards them.
Almost blocking out the sun.
Lian Chuan jumped up again, but the blue light was obviously unable to completely block this round of attack.
Ning Gu watched the debris screaming through the gaps in the blue light.
"Go to hell." He gritted his teeth.
The debris flew right in front of his eyes, brushing past his face, causing a heart-pounding pain.
Lian Chuan's figure flashed in front of him.
The crumbs disappeared.
When Lian Chuan's body, pierced by black iron fragments, crashed heavily into Ning Gu, it was like turning on a switch for pain.
Lianchuan
Even the dog!
Let’s go, traveler Ning Gu.
I don't look back.
I can bet.
Win every bet.
You have to be reckless, ignore the cost... and live.
Betelgeuse, wake up.
