Chapter Seventy-Nine: Basic Skills
"Puff...... Puff ......
The sound of the fluctuating heartbeat intensified with the call that seemed to be nothing.
γβ¦β¦ Little Lady ......"
Paternal...... Sound?
"Don't ...... Don't go ......."
'Don't go'?' let me not go??
γβ¦β¦ Stop......"
Jiang Yao stood in the chaotic darkness, only to hear a faint voice drifting intermittently from the darkness in front of him.
Father?Father...... Is that you!
Jiang Yao's heart tightened, and he was about to run in the direction where the voice came from, but he suddenly felt that something was firmly pulling under his feet, and when he looked down, he found that it was a small hand soaked in blood, and a young face gradually emerged from the darkness under his feet, slowly raising his head and looking at himself.
It was a blood-spattered face that belonged to a thirteen-year-old Jiang Yao.
You!...... you!?
In an instant, fragments of miscellaneous memories poured into Jiang Yao's mind like a flood, gunshots, blood, and screams...... Huge sorrow and deep fear suddenly enveloped Jiang Yao's heart, at that moment, Jiang Yao felt that everything in his body was being eroded by the boundless darkness, and the little hand that grabbed his ankle also began to climb up along Jiang Yao's legs.
Put...... Let me go!!
Jiang Yao roared, trying to break free from the restraints under his feet, and at this moment, he suddenly heard another voice break through the darkness and come from the top of the shadows.
"Ginger ......"
"Jiang Yao...... Jiang Yao...... Wake up!"
The consciousness of "......" gradually became clear from the haze, and those chaotic memory fragments also disappeared, Jiang Yao opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of beautiful gold and silver eyes.
"Road...... Xingyue?" Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, the previous nightmare still seemed to make his mind a little dazed.
The ...... just now Is it a dream, why am I ......? Do you suddenly dream of "that thing"?
"Obediently, it shouldn't be that you were beaten stupid, right?" Lu Xingyue looked at Jiang Yao with a blank look on her face, and said with some amusement. "Remember what happened to us?"
"The previous ...... Ahh
"Uh-huh............! Where are we?" Jiang Yao held his head and turned his head to look around. I saw that the two of them seemed to be in a dark and cramped dungeon at this time, with the smell of rust and decay floating in the air, and the iron door in front of them showed the situation of the two of them who were currently prisoners.
"I also woke up shortly after I woke up and found that we were here. Lu Xingyue said, turned her head, looked at the narrow pane on the iron door and said. "There seems to be no other exit here except this door. β
"Who the hell attacked us...... Could it be that our identities have been discovered?" Jiang Yao struggled to stand up, staggered towards the iron door, and looked out through the upper panes, but saw that there was no one outside the door, and there were identical iron doors on both sides of the corridor outside, which seemed to be prison cells.
"If we had been identified, we wouldn't be alive now. Lu Xingyue spread her hands and said. "As for who knocked us out...... It's a pity I didn't see it clearly. β
ββ¦β¦ Anyway, we'll have to find a way to get out and talk about it. Jiang Yao pushed the iron door hard, and sure enough, as expected, he leaned his head close to the pane, and carefully observed for a moment, and found that the cells in the opposite row were all locked from the outside by a "iron general", and according to this speculation, the door that closed them was probably also locked from the outside.
"If there was only one lock outside the door...... Maybe it can be forced to break. β
Jiang Yao pondered, and the energy veins in his body began to flow unconsciously to his hands along with his thoughts, and a faint dark purple light gradually rose from his palm. And Lu Xingyue, who was next to her, saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yao, who was about to step forward, and asked with a surprised face:
"Hey, hey, you're not going to want to slam the door, are you?"
"But the door is locked, and there are no tools to break it here, is there any other way to get out of here?" Jiang Yao asked rhetorically.
"Are you crazy, aren't you? What if you make such a big noise and invite the guards?" Lu Xingyue shook her head, glanced at Jiang Yao with an idiot-like look, and then stepped forward sideways and walked to the iron gate.
"It's not impossible to open this door quietly. Lu Xingyue said, and her right hand began to gradually glow with a pale yellow light. "Let me show you what Uncle Ben is capable of!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xingyue stretched out his hand towards the pane, only to see a thin hook with a halo slowly forming from his palm, and with the silky yellow light cord behind it, it began to pull out of his palm continuously, and under Lu Xingyue's manipulation, it seemed to be alive and flexibly through the pane, crawling towards the iron lock outside the door.
"Hmm...... It turned out to be this structure...... "Lu Xingyue manipulated the light cable through the door to pry the keyhole, but it seemed that there was no obstacle as if he had seen it with his own eyes. "In that case...... Well...... Alright, that's it!"
With a soft "click", the iron lock outside the door fell in response, Jiang Yao tried to push the iron door, and sure enough, he found that the door was already in a state that could be opened at this time.
"You...... It's amazing!" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingyue beside him in surprise and praised sincerely. "Actually, I wanted to ask before, what kind of ability can you actually visualize an entity out of thin air?"
"Ahh Lu Xingyue listened, and turned her head to look at Jiang Yao with an inexplicable expression. "Since you are also the one who has received the demonic power 'Spirit Infusion', how can you not even know the basic 'Shikijin Armament' skills?"
"Shikigami Armament...... Skills?" Jiang Yao's face was embarrassed, and he seemed a little embarrassed. "I ...... I really don't know ......."
"I'll ...... The so-called "demonic power concretization" is to recreate and gather the demonic power instilled into the body, and transform it into the physical weapon you want, which is a basic skill for those who are "injected", you don't even know this, how did you fight in the previous battles?" Lu Xingyue held her forehead and couldn't help but start complaining.
Fighting? It seems that they are either beaten or out of control......
Jiang Yao sighed silently in his heart, for him who had only refreshed his worldview not long ago, whether it was instilling demonic power or fighting demons, almost every step was forced to get involved, and even some basic cultivation knowledge was only slightly known thanks to Jiuya's explanation. As for how to really use this 'fierce beast power' to fight, to be honest, he had already done everything he could to control it without going berserk before, and he hadn't thought about it at all.
"Alas, forget it, don't mention these things now, if you have a chance in the future, I will give you a good science popularization, and now you have to leave here quickly. Lu Xingyue said, and was opening the door and planning to go out, but she had just leaned out half of her body and flashed back to the door in a hurry, making a "silence" gesture to Jiang Yao.
"Click...... Click......
Leisurely footsteps echoed in the dim and narrow corridor, from far and near, slowly coming from outside the corridor. I saw two scattered figures flashing faintly from the end of the corridor, and slowly paced towards the cell where Jiang Yao and the two were located.
"I heard, two new ones have come in?" a man's voice suddenly sounded, as if it was from one of the two.
"Yes, two women dressed like shemales, those guys outside are really hungry, and even this kind of goods have been caught. β
"There's no way, I caught too many before, and now the women in the city don't dare to go out, it's good to be able to catch two. β
This is......!?
Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue glanced at each other, looked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, they found that there seemed to be two guards in armor and masks.
"But it's strange to say, what is Lord Si You suddenly going to arrest a woman? isn't he...... Aren't you interested in women?" said one of the guards, hesitantly. "And with his ability and appearance, he casually hooked his fingers and threw a bunch of women into his arms, why do you have to be so sneaky?"
"I'll tell you, maybe this is not Lord Si You's intention at all, he must have been bewitched by the new cloak......ed and gloomy guy! It's hard to put into words...... None of the women who were sent up before came back, so I really don't know what kind of fame they are doing. β
"Hey, maybe Lord Si You is also thinking about something, right? This year's Hades is different from the previous ones, he is an innovator, and it is estimated that he has long been interested in our Jiuquan Walled City, and Lord Si You has to guard against it. β
"Lord Si You's supernatural powers are vast, and the previous army of ghost soldiers was defeated in the face of him, are you still afraid of this year's little Hades? I think the atmosphere in the city has become so weird recently, it is definitely the guy in the cloak who did it!"
"Hey, who knows, let's not complain so much about these little people, let's do our duty well, if anyone hears it, it will be miserable......"
...... "guy in a cloak"? Could it be the one mentioned earlier? It turns out that the disappearance of women in the city was the ...... of Si You!
Jiang Yao looked at the two guards who were getting closer and closer, and while thinking about countermeasures in his heart, he also turned his head to look at Lu Xingyue beside him, and saw that the other party was making a look at him, and at the same time pointed to the two people outside, and made a gesture of "wiping his neck". Jiang Yao comprehended, then nodded, and followed Lu Xingyue backwards......
"Huh, look! What's wrong with the lock on the cell in front of you?"
A guard seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly trotted to the door of the cell where Jiang Yao and the two were located.
"Oh no! the lock has been picked open......! Hmm!!"
As soon as the guard roared and broke into the cell, he suddenly fell silent, and the other guard who arrived behind suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly tried to pull out the weapon on his waist, but before he could touch it, he was suddenly wrapped around his body by a pale yellow light cord, and was instantly pulled into the prison door.
"Bang bang! bangββ! bang......
After a fat beating, the ghost crying wolf behind the cell door died down. A few minutes later, the two figures crept out of their cells while sorting out their newly changed armor and masks.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be quite ruthless~ I really can't see it. Lu Xingyue glanced at the two unlucky people with blue noses and swollen faces behind the cell door, reached out and closed the cell door, and locked it by the way.
"Hehe, each other, and thanks to your 'ecstasy', they can't wake up for the time being. β
Jiang Yao helped the mask on his face, and just as he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he turned his head sharply, looked at the deep dungeon corridor, and a sense of crisis instantly surged into his heart.
"How do you ......?"
"Shhhh
"It's not just these two guards coming...... There's still someone here!"
