172 Queen of Flames
When Li Yu and Qiu Tong were staring at Lu Xu, the situation on the other side was also a little crisis.
After Xu Tao and Lu Xu split up, he chose to stay on the second floor of the mall.
Here's a brief explanation of the structure of this large mall for the sake of the rest of the reading β first, the mall has a total of six floors. The first floor is mainly for cosmetics counters, the second floor sells fashion accessories and animation goods, the third floor is for ladies and women, the fourth floor is for men's clothing, the fifth floor is for high-end shoes and bags, and the sixth floor is for precious gold and silver jewelry.
Xu Tao's target naturally could not be fashion accessories, he set his sights on the shops around the anime. If he remembers correctly, there will be all kinds of knives in the anime peripheral stores with a slightly complete range of goods, and since Lu Xu can also see the sword spirit, it is naturally best to choose a sword-type weapon for him.
Dozens of minutes later, Xu Tao chose a simple and beautiful style of Han sword, although it is a sword with a decorative value greater than its practical value, and the blade has not yet been opened, but the quality and texture are extremely good, and the start is heavy, which shows that the craftsmen did not cut corners at all when casting.
"That's it," Xu Tao muttered to himself, intending to leave from the second floor.
To be honest, since entering this shopping mall, an inexplicable sense of depression has been coiled in Xu Tao's heart, and it seems that behind him, there has always been a pair of eyes silently watching him. It was a calm gaze without murderous aura, just watching his every move.
But when he walked out of the shop around the anime, the depressing feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared. Then, he saw a beautiful figure leaning lazily on a bench in the hallway, smiling at him in the dim light of the mall.
"Is that the feeling of being watched gone?" said the woman, her seductive red lips gently exhaled the syllables of the words, and said softly, "Come to think of it, your companion went to the fourth floor, and he should have disturbed the guy who was spying on you." After that, his eyes were full of the meaning that the prank had succeeded.
"Still, you can rest assured that guy won't kill until he has to. β
The woman was now covering her whole body with a black cloak, revealing only a snow-white jade arm supporting her body, and her chestnut curls were wrapped around her fingers.
"Who is that guy you are talking about? Who are you?" Xu Tao faced the woman who suddenly appeared, and had no intention of fighting, first, he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, and second, he didn't know Lu Xu's situation.
"That guy? His name is He Xuetao, and he's a boring man. When the woman said the young man's name, there was a look of disgust in her eyes, and her fingers with vermilion nails were touched on her chest, and she said, "Me." My name is Shen Yiyi, just an ordinary weak woman. β
"This mall is your stronghold?" Xu Tao looked at the woman named Shen Yiyi, and did not relax his vigilance because the other party was a survivor with himself, after all, the survivors in this world have long been free of moral and legal constraints, and God knows if the person who was smiling one second would swing a knife and slash at him in the next second.
In fact, if it weren't for the extreme strength of willpower, just the ubiquitous loneliness, fear, and suspicion in the last days would drive people crazy.
"That's not what we call it...... We call this place the 'cage'. Shen Yiyi smiled faintly and said, "Not only this shopping mall, but the entire city in front of you is a cage!"
Xu Tao was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that the woman in front of him must know something he didn't know!
"What do you know about this catastrophe?" Xu Tao put away his vigilant posture and asked Shen Yiyi with an extremely sincere expression.
"Do you want to exchange information?" Shen Yiyi originally leaned on the chair, but now sat up, the smile on the corner of her lips was not clear, and said: "We only share intelligence and resources with our companions, so are you willing to be our companions?"
"Is intelligence and resource sharing?" Xu Tao slowly pulled out the sword behind him. From the moment Shen Yiyi changed her sitting posture, a killing intent spread from her direction.
Fourth floor.
He Xuetao patted the dust that accidentally fell on his clothes, calmly looked at Lu Xu, who was three meters away from him, and said, "So, don't you want to restore this world to its original state?"
Lu Xu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Can all this be restored to the way it was before!?" His eyes instantly burned with a feverish light.
"Yes. The elegant young man said lightly, "Although the hope is very slim, it is not impossible. β
"What way?!"
"Tell you yes, but we only share information and resources with our companions. Will you be our companion?"7 asked
"Good!"
"Fight, then, as long as your strength is recognized by us, you can become our companion. β
Shen Yiyi stood up from the bench, and the black cloak naturally slipped off her shoulders, revealing her snow-white skin and bewitching figure inside.
Xu Tao only glanced at it, and only felt that his congenital heart attack was about to attack.
The clothes under the tightly wrapped cloak are quite eco-friendly! all the clothes below the neck are colorful holy lights and mosaics, which really resemble the female demons described in Western fantasy.
"This sister, how hot are you!Wear this outfit in the winter!" Xu Tao said as the flame of the sword spirit rose from the sword of the meson.
"Men who like to play tricks are really not cute at all. Shen Yiyijiao smiled, and there was an extra black whip in her hand at some point, just like a queen's style.
Xu Tao didn't plan to play tricks all the time, but flew into the window on the side. Thinking about it, Shen Yiyi's weapon is a long whip, and it is inevitable that she will not take advantage of her at a long distance, and only by using the complex terrain in the mall to close the distance with her can she win with one blow.
Shen Yiyi could guess Xu Tao's inner thoughts when she witnessed her movements, but she didn't panic at all, she still smiled, and said: "The end has come for so long, and you have been able to live until today, don't you still understand? β
"Go", Shen Yiyi snorted softly, and shook the long black whip away with a flick of his wrist. The black whip was not unique when it was still in her hand, but when it was shaken off, it showed a length of more than ten meters, and it was completely unconstrained by gravity and could be suspended in mid-air.
"Just kindly remind me before I make a move," Shen Yiyi still smiled lazily, "This whip is made of mirage's tentacles, something between a spirit and a substance, the length can be freely changed according to my mind, and it can defy gravity. β
"Mirage?" Qiu Tong's eyes lit up, looking at Shen Yiyi's whip.
The mirage was originally an ancient monster that was supposed to be imprisoned in Chonghua Palace, but later escaped from heaven and haunted the world. Changeable, deceitful and abnormal, able to know the past and the future.
Qiu Tong is somewhat interested in this whip, but the interest is not very great.
After Shen Yiyi's words were not allowed, a figure jumped out of the shadow beside her, it was Xu Tao who had hidden in the shadows of the shop window before, and I don't know when she had come to a place that was very close to her!
His figure was shrouded in the arc of light formed by the power of the sword spirit, and his speed was as fast as a swallow gliding close to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he had already come to Shen Yiyi's face, and the sword of the meson slashed towards Shen Yiyi's belly from the bottom up.
Shen Yiyi's reaction was also fast, and she only had time to take half a step back at the last moment, which was able to avoid the edge of the long sword, but let the sword qi pierce into her body, and the aura of the earth was disturbed for a while.
"I can't see that you're not old, but you're more anxious than an old man. was succeeded by Xu Tao's surprise attack, but Shen Yiyi didn't have the slightest sense of annoyance, but just smiled slightly as before, and there was a lot of flirtation in her words.
The most taboo thing between masters is restlessness, this time Xu Tao didn't say a word, although he seemed to have no distractions, but Shen Yiyi's verbal teasing, coupled with his visual shock, really made this young man in the prime of his youth unable to condense his mind for a while. On the other hand, Shen Yiyi, although she seems to have used her spirit in words and is restrained everywhere, her mind has never collapsed in the slightest.
Knowing this, Xu Tao will be in a hurry to divide the winner at this time.
Shen Yiyi avoided Xu Tao's blow just now, and before the young man pursued again, he saw that with a twist of her wrist, the ten-meter-long whip that was originally quietly suspended in the air suddenly slashed down, and the speed only left a black phantom in the eyes of everyone.
Hearing the sound of hunting in the air behind him, Xu Tao already knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly stabbed a sword on the ground, and flashed to the side with the power of this sword's backshock, and then rolled and hid behind the huge pillar of the mall.
But Xu Tao's breath was not relieved, but she heard Shen Yiyi's soft voice reach her ears, and she said, "It's too naΓ―ve." Immediately, a burst of coldness came from the back of Xu Tao leaning on the pillar, and the coolness instantly turned into a burst of burning pain, and at the same time, there was a huge force along with the pain, knocking Xu Tao away.
"This kid is stupid. Shen Yiyi said: "It is said that this whip is something between nothingness and substance, how can it be blocked by just one pillar?
Li Yu looked at Qiu Tong's look of hatred for iron and steel, and was curious, so he asked, "Then if it were you, what would you do?"
Qiu Tong sneered and said: "If it were me, I would directly slap this woman to death, and then snatch her whip over, it's good, why bother with so many messy things, are you right? Anyway, even if it's not right, you can only say right!"
