"I see."
Akane nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's go. The checkpoint isn't too close. We'll be there by dark."
Luo Ling was worried that if Chi Nu continued to investigate, it would be bad if she figured out the truth, so he spoke quickly.
"oh."
Chi Nu collected her thoughts and nodded.
She lowered her head slightly and looked at her open palm. She could see an illusory firework burning in the palm of her hand, and through the firework she seemed to be able to see the bones in the palm of her hand.
After an indescribable complexity flashed across her face, she clasped her hands and followed Luo Ling.
The second night slowly descended, and the temperature still dropped suddenly. However, Chi Nu no longer felt cold, so she didn't need a cotton coat and just let Luo Ling continue to cover her with it.
"From the map, the level should be just ahead."
Luo Ling squinted his eyes, trying to use his physical fitness to see the checkpoint in the pitch-black darkness, but unfortunately his eyes were narrowed into slits and he could not see anything.
If Puppet Rumor's ability was still there, after throwing a spore, the three-dimensional images inside and outside the level would appear directly in his mind. Luo Ling missed these little life skills every day.
Instead, it was Chi Nu, her beautiful amber eyes sparkling in the night, she stretched out her hand and pointed,
"It is over here. I have seen it."
"oh oh."
Luo Ling responded, and couldn't help but sigh that even if Chi Nu didn't use her "Doomsday" ability, her physical fitness was much better than hers.
To be more precise, it is much stronger than her charlatan form.
"Wait, Luo Ling."
But at this moment, Chi Nu reached out to stop Luo Ling, frowning slightly.
"There seems to be no one in the level?"
"No one?" Luo Ling was stunned. "That's not right. From the information Yao Ji gave me, these checkpoints must have a team of at least 100 people, and at least one of them must be able to use the power..."
"No, Luo Ling." Chi Nu's tone became serious, "Yes... there is no one alive."
Luo Ling was silent for a while, then waved his hand.
"Walk.'
"Do you still want to go?"
Chi Nu was hesitant.
"Of course we have to go," Luo Ling exhaled and said, "At least we have to go and see why there are no living people.
"OK."
Akane nodded. She was just worried that the current level might be unsafe.
However, since Luo Ling had already spoken, she had no objection.
In fact, subconsciously, Chi Nu still felt that Luo Ling had many hidden tricks up his sleeve.
-But Luo Ling really didn’t hide anything, this form of hers is just that of a pure weakling, her combat power is even worse than that of the current Chi Nu.
As they approached the checkpoint, a bloody smell mixed with the stench of decay wafted into Luo Ling's nose. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, but he saw that the girl Chi Nu next to him was calm, as if she was quite used to it.
Chi Nu noticed Luo Ling's gaze and said,
"I was brought out from a pile of corpses by Sister Yaoji."
"... It's hard to imagine that you have this experience."
"It's all over."
Chi Nu picked up a spear from the ground, which should have been dropped by the garrison here.
Judging from her movements, Akane has considerable experience in using weapons.
Compared to...
Luo Ling knew nothing about the eighteen kinds of weapons. Before, she was only able to drive them directly with her ability, which could not be considered as she really knew how to use them.
So, Luo Ling consciously walked behind Chi Nu.
A weakling should have the awareness of a weakling and not hold back the team leader.
After carefully entering the checkpoint, Chi Nu and Luo Ling's expressions became increasingly heavy. They saw that the checkpoint was full of rotten blood, but could not find a complete corpse.
All the corpses exploded in an instant without warning.
"He's been dead for at least a month."
The naked woman squatted slightly, her nose twitching slightly.
"You also know this?" Luo Ling asked in surprise.
"You can't eat meat that has been dead for too long." Chi Nu answered simply and concisely, then suddenly felt that her words seemed a bit wrong, and added, "I used to eat ferocious beasts that died in the wilderness, not human flesh."
"... gave me a scare."
Luo Ling thought that Chi Nu's life was so hard that she had to eat human flesh.
However, Chi Nu was already very young and powerless before she met Yao Ji, so she really needed some special methods to survive.
"It really seems like there's no clue..."
Looking at the tragic situation inside the checkpoint, Luo Ling frowned.
According to the information, the levels of Dahuang are changed every month for unknown reasons.
If it is as Akame said, it will take at least a month, where are the garrisons for the changeover
"Luo Ling, the teleportation array is here, see if you can still use it."
Just then, Akane called out.
"Um."
Luo Ling walked over and stretched out his hand to probe.
With a little inspiration injected, the pattern of the teleportation array began to flicker slightly.
"It seems that it can still be used."
Luo Ling let out a breath.
The teleportation array consumes a lot of inspiration, and can only accommodate two or three people each time it is used, so the teleportation array will not be used to change defenses in the level.
However, Luo Ling was worried that his inspiration would be over-consumed and he would pass out from exhaustion, so he would leave for another month.
So after thinking about it, Luo Ling took Chi Nu's hand, pressed it on the center of the formation, and said,
"Akagi, you come and recharge."
Chapter 122: Changes in the Imperial Alliance (5k)
Following Luo Ling's guidance, Chi Nu injected her own inspiration into it.
In a short while, the patterns around the teleportation array lit up completely, and Luo Ling couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
"this..
"Luo Ling, is this all right
Akane pulled her little hand back and asked.
"Chi Nu, do you feel tired now?" Luo Ling calmed down for a moment and looked at Chi Nu beside him.
"I'm not tired at all," Chi Nu showed a puzzled look, "I don't feel anything special... Is there something wrong with this formation?"
"No.
Luo Ling shook his head.
The one with the problem should be the naked woman...
God knows why Chi Nu's inspiration is so abundant. It is almost half of Luo Ling's original body.
Luo Ling's original inspiration is quite huge. After several promotions, it is almost endless and can support her to use it at will.
Although Chi Nu is not as good as her, given the current situation, it is still okay for her to squander it.
The white light of the teleportation array almost condensed into substance, which was a sign that it was about to be activated. Luo Ling immediately took Chi Nu's hand and stood on the teleportation array.
A white light flashed, and after a familiar and habitual trance, Luo Ling came to his senses and opened his eyes. After seeing the scene in front of him, he opened his mouth slightly.
"What's going on?"
"Hmm?" Chi Nu was also stunned for a moment, turned her head and asked, "Luo Ling, did the transmission fail?"
"No, it has succeeded..."
Luo Ling walked down the teleportation array and looked at everything around him with a serious expression.
That’s right, just like the previous level, this front-line fortress was also littered with corpses.
All the garrisons exploded, leaving rotting flesh and blood all over the ground.
"Still about a month..."
The tip of Chi Nu's nose twitched slightly, and the expression on her little face was as solemn as Luo Ling's.
"Go out and take a look."
Luo Ling held Chi Nu's little hand and walked quickly towards the exit of the fortress.
In such a place where there are unknown dangers, they must stay away.
Chi Nu did not resist. Instead, she moved a little closer to Luo Ling and leaned slightly against his arm.
The layout of this fortress was almost the same as that of a checkpoint. After winding around for a while, when approaching the exit, Luo Ling finally saw a relatively intact pair of remains.
The reason why it is said to be relatively complete is that the flesh and blood of the remains are also rotten, but at least it has a complete skeleton.
The remains were kneeling on the ground, the heart in the chest was still beating slightly, but it was extremely shriveled.
Luo Ling approached cautiously. The remains seemed to sense someone approaching and began to move slowly.
Chi Nu immediately clenched the spear in her hand, and at the same time moved forward a little, protecting Luo Ling behind her.
Obviously, Chi Nu's sharpness and cleverness exceeded Luo Ling's imagination. Along the way, she could almost see that Luo Ling was different from Sister Yao Ji. In fact, she had no fighting ability, but was only good at curing diseases and saving lives.
Luo Ling, who was self-aware, naturally leaned back a little, leaving space for Chi Nu to take action.
However, the remains only turned slightly, and extremely slowly. It was not until several minutes later that it barely looked in the direction of Luo Ling and Chi Nu.
He struggled to raise his fingers, which were only bones left, poked them on the ground, and carved something crookedly.
At the same time, the only remaining heart in the chest cavity of the remains began to beat rapidly, and continued to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Until his heart completely dried up, his remains lost their last strength, completely collapsed, scattered all over the ground, and became almost the same as other corpses.
Akame did not let down her guard because of this scene, but approached cautiously with the spear in hand.
Only after making sure that there was no other danger around did he wave his hand and let Luo Ling follow.
"This is... "
Luo Ling looked curiously at the last traces of writing on the remains. The crooked words were difficult to recognize.
These words were different from what she usually used and were difficult to decipher at first.
The naked woman squatted down and studied it carefully.
"Chi Nu, did you see anything?" Luo Ling asked.
"ah?"
Akina raised her hands blankly and said
"What what?"
“This one.
Luo Ling pointed at the marks on the ground.
"These words? I don't understand them. I can't read. Sister Yaoji said she couldn't teach me." Chi Nu said innocently, "Aren't you the one reading?"
