Chapter 8 Chapter 190 Halfway Encounter
Lingcheng covers an area of more than the size of the three imperial cities.
The scene of the outer suburbs of the prison is not a dark image of the underworld or a desolate scene in the hell that is sketched in the minds of real human beings. The soil in the suburbs outside the city of Lingcheng is completely different from that of the human world, and is composed of a reddish substance, which is tightly structured, about five times the density of the human soil.
There is no artificial transformation on both sides of the road, except for some intersections with directional signs, maintaining the natural scenery of 'nature'.
The vegetation on the side resembles a vine plant, with no leaves or fruits, and large and small round suckers on the trunk, which wriggle every few seconds. The main color of these plants is not green. Mostly brown, black and gray plants are also common.
And the way these plants survive is not to rely on the roots that penetrate the soil to absorb the nutrients in the soil, but to rely on the suction cups on the body trunk to absorb the prison breath in the air, convert it into energy and store it in the body. When night falls, when the breath of the prison is thin, these plants close their own suckers, similar to human dormancy, reducing the overflow of internal energy.
In addition, there are some strange-looking creatures in these vegetation, and Zhang Chen noticed a vertebral bipedal walking creature similar to a human, but the water content in the body is very small, and like these plants, there is a huge sucker on its face, which is supposed to be an organ used to ingest food.
At this time, Zhang Chen and Lian Yuxin were on the road towards the place where the main soul stone was handed over, and after going out from the south gate, the direction of their actions gradually shifted to the east.
"Where is Senior Sister?"
Not long after leaving Lingcheng, Zhang Chen noticed that in the sky far to the east, there was a faint reflection of colorful glow.
"Well, we're picking up a little bit of speed. For some reason, there is always a feeling of being stalked by others. Very uncomfortable. "Lian Yuxin didn't feel anything peculiar, it was just from a woman's seventh sense.
As the two of them gradually stepped into the right path in the east, they were roughly more than thirty kilometers away from Lingcheng, and the time at this moment was around 7:10, and the prison breath in the air was only less than 1/20 of the concentration during the day.
There are fewer mediums for perception, making perception particularly difficult. But Zhang Chen, who was incarnated as blood swimming under the ground, suddenly rose in his heart, and a kind of uneasiness rose in his heart, and he spread his blood energy out of scruples.
With Zhang Chen's body as the center of the circle, the blood energy that permeated a radius of 100 meters was relatively thick, so that the surface of the plants on the side gradually condensed drops of sparse blood, but it was quickly inhaled by the suckers of these plants.
Originally, there was no situation, Zhang Chen thought that he was nervous because of Lian Yuxin's words, and began to recover the blood energy that was scattered, but when the blood energy circle shrank to about five meters, it happened to be stored behind Lian Yuxin. There was a very subtle fluctuation coming from behind him.
"Senior sister, be careful!"
Zhang Chen broke through the ground, blood formed, and the blood-turned arm slammed towards the empty place behind Lian Yuxin.
Suddenly, the tip of Zhang Chen's outstretched right finger had a corrosive feeling along the fingertip, and at the same time, a black rag was punctured at the tip of Zhang Chen's finger. A black worn cloak floated in the air and blocked the path in front of Zhang Chen and the others.
Zhang Chen's brows furrowed, and he looked solemnly at his corroded right middle finger. Because the pain transmitted from the fingertips was extremely intense, the pain was even more than the pain that Gu Chen had torn apart with his hands before.
No more hesitation. Zhang Chen cut off the middle finger of his right hand, and the pain disappeared immediately. The fingers that fell to the ground after breaking away from Zhang Chen's body lost the energy supply of the main body, and were immediately completely corroded and turned into a puddle of rancid and blackened slime.
Lian Yuxin had already transformed into a human form, staring at Zhang Chen incredulously, and then turned his head to look at the figure slowly emerging under the black cloak in front of the road, giving himself a sense of danger that exceeded that of ordinary second-level prison officers.
"Just now, the other party and I were only a millimeter apart. Why can't I sense it? Wait......" Lian Yuxin once again turned his eyes to look at Zhang Chen's fingers on the ground, which had become rancid and blackened, and suddenly remembered something in his brain.
"Master of Pain - Hei Ji, ranked forty-third on the last 100 people list, good at stealth and sneak attacks." Lian Yuxin said this sentence with a solemn face, and under the black cloak opposite. The middle-aged man showed a slightly surprised expression.
"One is able to sense my existence using the power of blood, and the other knows my identity with only a slight ability I can wield. It seems that the two of you are not novices, right? How did the Lingcheng change cause such a big movement? Some dry voices came from under the black cloak.
"We are disciples of Shenhou, and we ask Mr. Heiji to make a way." Lian Yuxin did not hesitate to take out the god token hanging on his waist and abdomen.
"Disciple of the Divine Wait...... This token is real. Well, it's a bit of a problem. In this way, since I am a disciple of Shenhou, I don't dare to have any other ideas, how about you hand over the main soul stone to me, and I will hand it in for you and then give you all the things I get? ”
"Senior sister, this guy is really underbeaten. This person will not shy away because of his identity as a master, and since the other party has already done this, there is no need for us to give him a good face. ”
Zhang Chen's heart was extremely angry at this time, if he hadn't discovered the other party in time before, even Yu Xin would have died in the hands of this person at this time. It was the first time that Zhang Chen had met a prison envoy with such superb concealment methods, but he was ranked forty-three on the list of 100 people, neither high nor low, and Zhang Chen thought that he had the strength to compete with the other party.
"What an arrogant third-level prison master, your senior sister is so afraid of me, you kid is very powerful. Kill both of you outside the Spirit City, and no one will know. Looking at your appearance, is it possible that the gods are also in prison? You can try to see if the token can be transmitted to your master. ”
The middle-aged man under the black cloak paused.
"If it doesn't work, if you two know each other today, you will hand over the main soul stone to me, for this disrespectful little junior brother just now, in order for you to have a longer memory in the future and know how to respect your elders, you will cut off your arms and present it to me along with the main soul stone, right?"
"Senior sister, when you step back and fight against Tianhua in Changsha City, you can assist Huang Ce and Fei Bai to assist me." Zhang Chen didn't listen to the other party's words into his ears at all, and turned to Lian Yuxin to speak.
"Senior brother, you have to be careful, this person's ability ......"
When Lian Yuxin looked at Zhang Chen's resolute eyes, the words that were originally out of his mouth were swallowed back by himself, and for some reason, such a look made Lian Yuxin's eyes slightly red. In the past, every time Huang Ce decided to go to deal with things alone, he would have similar eyes.
Lian Yuxin nodded, and her figure instantly became ethereal.
At this time, on the road to the destination, only Zhang Chen and Hei Ji were left.
"It seems that if I, a senior, don't dispel the arrogance of some of your arrogant juniors, I'm afraid it's a little too much. A noble child like you, who has been cultivated in a closed environment since childhood, is really just a frog at the bottom of a well. ”
Perhaps because Lian Yuxin reported the name of God, this middle-aged man regarded Zhang Chen and Lian Yuxin as the 'rich second generation' who had been pampered since childhood.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man Hei Ji's body absorbed into the cloak and disappeared alive in front of Zhang Chen.
"Curiosity's concealment!" The moment the black cloak disappeared, Zhang Chen's perception completely lost the other party. It's not a means of space, Zhang Chen is very sure of this.
"Bloodfield!" Nearly five meters in size 'domains' splayed out.
"Senior brother, don't have too much contact with this person, Hei Ji can infinitely magnify a person's pain."
"Okay."
Zhang Chen stood straight in place, not nervous at all.
Suddenly, Zhang Chen's eyes were awe-inspiring, his footsteps under him turned ninety degrees, and with the help of his waist, his left hand suddenly stretched forward and stretched out the edge of the field five meters away, this time the grasp of the palm was several times stronger than the first time, grabbing a black shadow out of the illusion.
"How is that possible!" The man under the black cloak felt a huge force grasp his neck, and his best concealment method was unexpectedly detected by a young imp who had just become a prison director.
Not only that, the eyes of the middle-aged man under the cloak stared at Zhang Chen's scarlet eyes, and he actually had a sense of danger threatening his life.
A slit was cracked in his wrist, and a scarlet butcher knife was held in Zhang Chen's hand, and the whole process was completed in one go, within a second of grabbing the other party.
It's just that only the black cloak that is split in two is left in Zhang Chen's hand, and the prison director inside is gone.
On the ground ten meters away from Zhang Chen, a middle-aged man with a festering face and a thin body that was almost dry stood in the middle of the road, looking at him with incredible eyes.
"How is it possible to be a third-level prison department!?" After the scene just now, a trace of timidity rose in Heiji's heart, but more was endless anger.
After Hei Ji finished speaking, the ten fingers of his hands were spread, and the dense black silk threads locked on Zhang Chen, who was ten meters away.
The black silk threads all disintegrated into blood when they entered Zhang Chen's blood domain, and only a very few of them arrived in front of Zhang Chen, and these black silk threads intended to pierce under Zhang Chen's skin and inject pain into his body.
Suddenly, an equal number of tongues stretched out from the mouth that appeared on the surface of Zhang Chen's body, wrapped around these black silk threads and swallowed them into his mouth to digest and absorb, leaving nothing behind.
"'Domain'! It turned out to be the ability of the 'domain'! Hei Ji was shocked, and his evaluation of Zhang Chen had completely changed.
"First Solution!"
The two words spit out from Hei Ji's mouth, and suddenly a black silk thread similar to that just now surged out from the position of the main soul stone, like a mummy entwined, wrapped around Hei Ji's body, and even pierced under Hei Ji's skin.
In the end, only Heiji's eyes and mouth were exposed, and a black bandage that made people faintly ache was wrapped around his body, and his momentum changed greatly. (To be continued......)
