"It turned out to be the power of the sword spirit. Qiu Tong looked at the young man and said, "It's a pity that although this sword spirit is powerful, it is not enough to trigger it all with a mortal body. ”

"Sword Spirit?" Li Yu remembered his sword.

The young man's expression was full of exhaustion, as if he had exhausted his strength in the blow just now, but he just looked at the fierce beast struggling in mid-air and said lightly: "I use myself as bait and the blood in my heart as the guide to attract the limit of the power of this sword spirit, and with your current cultivation, you will not be able to break free no matter what." ”

The beast did not understand human speech, but still pounced on the cage and bit desperately, allowing the cyan flames to burn its skin and flesh.

After using the move just now, the cyan flame on the young man's sword had been extinguished, and the young man had to sigh, although Qi Qi was now trapped in the cage, he could not kill him with the strength he had left. He immediately turned around and walked in the direction of Lu Xu's escape, muttering to himself, "I still can't draw out the full power of the sword spirit, it's better to use less of this trick in the future." "Yunyun.

said that Lu Xu had been chased by a cat, a bird, and a lump of mud to the point of exhaustion. If it weren't for the fact that these three monsters all wanted to monopolize their prey and had a lot of restraints on each other, Lu Xu would have already turned into a pile of minced meat.

But after chasing so far, Lu Xu is really exhausted. His down jacket had been shattered into strips of cloth, white duck feathers mixed with black mud stuck to his body, and half of his left leg had disappeared, revealing a snow-white calf, and blood was still flowing from the three huge scratches on the calf.

Then there is the scene at the beginning of this article, where the male protagonist soaks half-dead in a puddle of sewage at the mouth of the alley, silently waiting for the pursuers behind him to come and dismember his body.

However, Lu Xu closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but the expected fatal blow did not come to him, and he thought: Is it because I am lying motionless here that those monsters think I am dead, and they don't eat dead things?

Of course not!

I only heard a joking voice on the side say, "Yo, pretending to be dead is quite similar." Dare to love you, you've been an extras in movies before, and you've played corpses, what's wrong?"

Lu Xu opened his eyes, first saw a pair of British-style leather boots, and then realized that a person was standing in front of him, looking at him condescendingly. Lu Xu hurriedly stood up, noticing that the black cat, the big bird, and the mud monster were all standing far away at the moment, looking at the person beside him with a wary expression. This person is the man wearing a long windbreaker and blue jeans and carrying a plastic bag that he saw at the mouth of the alley before.

Even though Lu Xu had a lot of resentment to express at this time, he already felt very difficult just standing now. The man watched Lu Xu tremble and stand up from the muddy water, and at the same time, he took out a piece of chocolate from the plastic bag and chewed it carefully, completely ignoring that there were three monsters staring at him a little farther away.

"Do you want to eat?" The man saw that Lu Xu had been staring at him, so he handed over the half-eaten chocolate in his hand, and smiled "hehe" at the end, and the chocolate stains on his white teeth were very obvious.

Lu Xu pushed away the other party's chocolate, stared at the man's angular face, and paid attention to the monsters in the distance with his peripheral vision, adjusted the breathing rate slightly, and made his voice sound as little frightened as possible, and then asked, "What happened? Where are all the people in this city? What are these monsters? Please! Tell me!"

The man was not in a hurry to answer Lu Xu's question, but looked at Lu Xu silently with a light smile, his eyes full of thoughtfulness. After a while, he said, "You inhaled the black miasma of the mud maid, and you were injured by the poisonous claws of the Nine Lives Cat, and the toxins have already flowed all over your body, and you can still stand up and talk to me alive...... It's a miracle of life. ”

Lu Xu felt several black lines suddenly appear on his head.

"Wait, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. The man instantly changed to a "suddenly remembered" expression and said, "My name is Angel...... I used to be a freelancer, and I am now. ”

After introducing himself, the man who claimed to be named Angel suddenly showed a harmless smile to the three monsters in the distance, and shouted enthusiastically: "Cute little animals, do you want to come over for some chocolate?"

With his shout, the mud maid was like being struck by lightning, and quickly squirmed and disappeared into the boundless night, and the speed was even faster than when he chased Lu Xu before. The cheetah-sized nine-life cat seemed to have been stepped on by its tail, and its fur exploded, and it also ran away very quickly. The owl, which was originally perched on the roof of a building, was relatively calm, turned around and flew into the distance.

Lu Xu witnessed the departure of the three "cute little animals", and instantly entered a petrified state, and did not come back to his senses for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he saw the man crouch down, stretched out a slender hand, stroked the wound on his calf, and muttered, "Is it just a flesh wound?" After saying that, he saw that the hand he was caressing at the wound slowly revealed a golden light, and Lu Xu immediately felt a warmth slowly penetrating into his body from the wound on his calf, whether it was the pain of the wound or the discomfort of inhaling the miasma before, it was replaced by an unprecedented sense of comfort. When the light in Angel's hand gradually extinguished, the three scratches on Lu Xu's calf that were originally dripping with blood had completely healed, and there was not even a scar left.

"Well, you can understand it now. Angel stood up and smiled slightly. Let's read the book

Lu Xu was obviously shocked again by Angel's ability just now, and he didn't react for a while, so he said, "Uh...... Understand what?"

Angel said: "Now this world is no longer the world you understood before. In today's world, diplomas, official positions, technology, etc., are all invalid, and the only thing you need to do is survive. I say that, do you understand?"

Lu Xu nodded, shook his head again, and his expression was confused, "What is the 'current world'? What is the 'previous world'? What were those monsters just now? What happened to this city? Where have all the people here gone?"

Angel didn't continue to explain, he looked into the depths of the alley, then turned his head to continue to look at Lu Xu, the smile on his face never faded, "Okay, it seems that your companion is coming, just leave your question to him to explain." With that, he reached out mischievously and rubbed Lu Xu's hair, and continued, "If you can survive, I think we will meet again." ”

Realizing that the young man in front of him was about to leave, Lu Xu panicked, and hurriedly grabbed the other party's sleeve, looking into the shadows around him, lest there was something strange lurking nearby. The smile on Angel's face did not receive, and with a wave of her hand, she got rid of Lu Xu's pull, and said jokingly: "I admit that I am very handsome, but it doesn't mean that I can accept a man's pursuit." ”

Lu Xu wanted to say something, but Angel just waved her hand and turned around, but she didn't see how he moved, but disappeared into the boundless night in the blink of an eye.

"It's not the world I'm used to be familiar with. Lu Xu looked at the direction in which Angel disappeared and muttered to himself.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps approached from the other end of the alley. Lu Xu was really frightened by the cats, birds, silt and other things before, and when he heard that there was movement, his first reaction was to pull his legs and escape. But I heard a tired voice say, "Don't run, it's me." ”

Lu Xu then remembered the young man who had helped him stop Qiqi before, so he put down his steps and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from in the depths of the alley, and sure enough, he saw the young man walking slowly.

"You're still alive. After the young man saw Lu Xu, he said lightly, his expression was full of exhaustion at this time, but he still straightened his back like a soldier.

Lu Xu finished for a while.

In fact, if it weren't for Angel's sudden appearance at the last minute. It is very likely that Lu Xu is now "separated from flesh and blood, and the liver and intestines are broken".

"Let's go, we're not in a safe position yet. The young man walked straight past Lu Xu, just glanced at him superficially, but he didn't worry about whether Lu Xu would follow.

It was only then that Lu Xu looked at the young man who had saved him through the cold moonlight. The boy was no more than eighteen years old, and his face was handsome, but his complexion revealed a sickly paleness. The young man's height is only about 1.72 meters, which is more than half a head shorter than Lu Xu, and even if he is wearing a thick down jacket and turtleneck, he still gives people a terrifyingly thin feeling, as if he is weak at the beginning of a serious illness. It's hard to imagine that such a slender person actually has the power to subdue the fierce beast.

"What's your name?" Lu Xu asked.

"Xu Tao", the young man replied without looking back, and left the alley on his own.

"My name is Lu Xu", Lu Xu quickly followed the young man named Xu Tao and said, "Can you tell me now? ”

The boy coughed suddenly, and with this violent cough, his face flushed with a strange red, and dark red blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. Lu Xu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and found that this thin body seemed to be drained of strength.

Xu Tao grabbed Lu Xu's collar with all his strength and said, "Take me to find a place to hide until dawn...... The city at night is a city of monsters!"

Seeing Xu Tao's hoarse appearance, Lu Xu immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly picked up the weak young man, and walked towards the nearest house.

"No, you can't go in there!" Xu Tao coughed violently again, and stretched out a hand to hold his heart tightly, as if it was being pierced by a steel needle.

"What's there?" Li Yu thought.
