Chapter 174: The Smell of Flames
"Death?" Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then relieved: "There are people who die unexpectedly every day in this place, and the unclaimed corpses of the Holy Capital are also thrown here, what's so strange about the breath of death." ”
"Nope. It's the breath of decay. ”
"Thoughts of the breath of decay."
"Will the mind still decay?" Hearing this, Su Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. But then he discovers a detail that he has overlooked.
"Except for the remnants of death, only the high-level primordial spirit has the power to control the mind......"
Thinking of this, Su Xiao suddenly felt a silent oppression, squeezing his heart and making it difficult for him to breathe......
"Don't make a show here." Linlu pushed him angrily, and the spear in his hand slammed down.
"There is no one around here, and there is no strong man's breath left, who are you acting like this?"
"Ahem. Psychological effects. Su Xiao smiled awkwardly, but subconsciously covered his chest.
There was indeed no supernatural power in the vicinity, but Su Xiao always felt that her heartbeat was a little abnormal, as if there were some factors affecting her that she couldn't detect.
But even Linlu didn't notice anything abnormal, so he thought more about it himself.
Thinking so, Su Xiao sighed and looked into the distance.
But what he didn't notice was that Jiujiu on the side also quietly covered his chest, as if a meteor flashed in his eyes, and a trace of hesitant light quietly appeared, and quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared,
Looking at Su Xiao, who was slightly nervous, Linlu asked with some curiosity, "Su Xiao, where did you get the courage to face the third-order primordial spirit master." ”
Su Xiao frowned and asked rhetorically, "When am I going to face a third-order primordial spirit?" I'm just a student. ”
"The Lin Fan we are tracking is the third order, or the peak of the third order. He may have a lot to do with Qiyue's danger, if you run into him later, what are you going to do? ”
Su Xiao looked around weakly and said in a low voice; "Isn't there still Lord Suhui? With her we are sure to ......"
"She didn't come."
“??” Su Xiao was dumbfounded and looked around helplessly, hoping that it was just a joke.
But Linlu's next words gave him a fatal blow: "I have no connection with Su Hui, and I warned her not to meddle in my affairs last time." ”
"Moreover, if you encounter that Lin Fan, I can't make a move, Jiujiu's clothes are inconvenient to do, you can only look at yourself."
Ignoring the question of Jiujiu's clothes, Su Xiao asked with a surprised face, "Why can't you make a move?" Do you dare to be afraid that he won't succeed? ”
"First, the agitation method is useless to me." Lin Lu looked extremely calm, and calmly continued to explain: "Second, I can't make a rash move, last time I was outside the academy's archives, my gun qi and he hedged once, so he remembered my breath.
It wouldn't be a good thing if you recognized me here. ”
"Breath?" Su Xiao looked at Linlu with a desperate expression, "What are you looking at again, how come I have never heard that the two of them can remember the breath after fighting once." ”
"Only those who have reached the formal Yuan Spirit or a small number of alien students can feel the existence of the breath."
"Of course, if you can continue to take classes next semester, you should learn this knowledge in the basic introduction to the Yuan Ling Compulsory Course 3."
Hearing the familiar name of the textbook, Su Xiao resisted the urge to complain.
After all, it's been a year since I've been here, and I should get used to the customs here, so I can't behave too abnormally.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking wildly, Linlu patted him on the shoulder with a serious face and said in a low voice, "Do you smell the flames?" ”
Su Xiao was a little unimpressed by Linlu's reminder, after all, in this kind of chaotic place, whether it was the embers of battle igniting an entire block or the residual flames sputtered by Yuan Ling and burning people into ashes, there was nothing surprising.
But in the next second, he noticed that this smell was special.
"What a rich resurrection power...... Thinking of this, Su Xiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a low voice: "This is, the taste of the power of the immortal bird, it is the embers of Qiyue." ”
"You can smell that?" Linlu looked at Su Xiao with suspicion, his face full of doubts. "Is there any special bond between you?"
"Ahem." Su Xiao coughed lightly twice, as a way to hide the embarrassment of pretending to be a failure.
"Then what kind of smell of flame do you say, I still think it has the breath of Qiyue."
"This deserted town is notoriously chaotic, and there should be plenty of good deeds even at night." Linlu looked coldly at the empty surroundings and clenched the spear in his hand.
"Ever since we stepped into this deserted town, we haven't met a single person. Not to mention living people, not even fresh corpses. ”
"Probably, it was eaten by a strange beast or a wild dog."
"Where's the beast?" There was a faint golden light in Linlu's eyes, although he knew that the hostility was not aimed at him, but at the moment he faced it, Su Xiao still felt a little stinging in his eyes, and his body became sluggish.
And Jiujiu, who had been silent for a long time, said faintly: "Although this is a dead end shrouded in the light of the Holy Capital, it is still in the Holy Capital after all, so weapons of mass destruction and some special items are prohibited from circulating and storing in the town. ”
"For example, the necessities that are driven by conventional vehicles, fuel."
"The smell here was weird, but it was within the scope of the temple."
"But now, not only is there no breath of the living here, even the fresh corpses are gone, but there is a strange smell of crude oil in the distance."
"Crude oil?" Su Xiao sniffed hard, but found nothing.
"Someone controlled the direction of the wind, so the smell couldn't come out. But my spirit butterfly can feel a different breath. ”
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Su Xiao looked around with some vigilance, looking like a cup bow and a snake shadow: "You mean, someone is hoarding a large amount of crude oil here and preparing to ambush us?" ”
"We don't have that big a hand." Jiujiu smiled lazily, but a trace of purple flashed in his eyes.
"Someone seems to be using the smell of these oils to mask the existence of something similar."
"This place doesn't seem to be as simple as we thought." Although he said it very carefully, Jiu Jiu didn't feel the slightest nervousness, and looked at Su Xiao with a smile, as if he was waiting for his next decision.
"It's all here, and if I leave like this, curiosity won't forgive me." After making an extremely lame excuse for himself, Su Xiao resolutely summoned the Fire Spirit Domain, and by the way, he strengthened his courage.
However, before he could take a step, he was interrupted by Linlu's neat stick.
"It's the Divine Strike. Spells specifically for the Yuan Spirit, generally used to interrupt the opponent's ultimate move or a spell for continuous guidance, are really wasted on you. ”
"Why are you beating me?" Su Xiao touched her head in pain, and looked at Linlu with a face full of grievances.
"No matter what the other party wants to hide, at least it is certain that there is a large amount of crude oil and its derivatives on the other side, and you actually dare to summon the Fire Spirit Domain?"
Su Xiao scratched her head in embarrassment and said slightly apologetically; "I forgot about the crude oil on the other side."
Jiujiu on the side approached Su Xiao and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a secret." ”
