Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sound Strikes the West
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu got out of the car and looked up at the abandoned building in front of them.
It is said to be abandoned, but in fact, it should be unfinished before it is completed.
Irkutsk is barely a decent city in Siberia, but it is far inferior to the rest of the country. In addition, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, so there is naturally no need to build any high-rise buildings. This abandoned building is only three floors. And in addition to the main structure of the bottom two floors, which are already intact, the third floor is only half hastily built, and the work has been stopped.
The building is a standard reinforced concrete structure. At the foot of the building and on the third floor, there are piles of rusty steel bars and cement bales everywhere. The first and second floors have exterior walls, and it is not clear what is going on inside.
"Let's go. Play it by ear. Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and walked towards the building first, still holding the Springer in his hand.
Because it was necessary to retain the canine sense of smell to determine the source of the bloody gas, Jiang Xiao could not release mosquitoes to detect the entire building, so he could only be careful with Zhao Tianyu.
Before getting out of the car, Jiang Xiao had already confirmed with Chaoyang. Since arriving at the abandoned building, the rate at which Heartrhyme has lost blood has slowed to a level equal to the healing power of the Messland. In other words, as long as that enemy no longer moves, Xinyun will not have to worry about life.
Of course...... In the end, she must defeat the enemy who can attract her blood!
The first floor was empty, and the direction of the bloody qi was still above.
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu glanced at each other and walked up the only staircase built side by side.
"You're still here. ”
A faint voice sounded above the two of them.
Jiang Xiao raised his head and saw that at the top of the stairs, there was an acquaintance he had seen before.
The head of the East Asian branch of the academy, the wounded abyss of the warrior rank.
His face is still handsome, and his expression is still the same gentle and elegant appearance as before, wearing an iron-gray trousers and a pure white shirt.
But now, seeing his face, Jiang Xiao's heart was only nervous.
Although he had not personally fought with Shen Yuan, Jiang Xiao had seen the battle between him and Xinyun with his own eyes.
I have to say that Shen Yuan is really the strongest warrior among the awakened people Jiang Xiao has ever seen.
Whether it's speed, strength, or the ability to heal itself after injury, the abyss is the top existence. If it weren't for Xinyun's innate ability to sense the trajectory of any attack and dodge it in advance, it would have been almost impossible for Shen Yuan to lose to anyone in hand-to-hand combat.
"Be careful. This guy is a warrior, and he ......" Jiang Xiao whispered to Zhao Tianyu beside him: "Very strong!"
Zhao Tianyu didn't answer, only nodded silently in response. At the same time, the muscles of the whole body are raised to the maximum vigilance.
But Shen Yuan didn't seem to have any intention of making a move immediately, but turned around and walked towards the back of the stairs, and after walking two steps, he heard no movement behind him, and turned his head in surprise: "Hey, why don't you come up?"
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu glanced at each other, nodded secretly to each other, and walked up the stairs side by side steadily.
The second floor is basically the same as the first floor, it is empty, but in the center, there is a large red sofa. Hurt Yuan walked to the sofa, sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Don't worry. I'm the only one here, except for the burial. It's too late to determine your direction, so there's not enough time to mobilize enough people. But...... Since Miss Xinyun can't participate in the battle, I think even if it's me, it should be enough. ”
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu followed the eyes of the injured abyss and looked to the side, and saw that in the corner of the building, there was a huge black object that was beating again and again.
The black object resembled a cocoon, but it was as large as two people tall, radiating dozens of sticky silk-like substances from its exterior that stuck to the surrounding walls and columns. And the way it beats and how often it beats is like a heart.
"That's it...... What do you mean by a burial?" Jiang Xiao asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes. Hurt Yuan nodded elegantly: "It's just ...... He's busy sucking Miss Xinyun's blood right now, so he doesn't have the ability to fight you for the time being. In that case, then the only way to stop you is for me to stop you first. But...... Or is it, as I said earlier, since I'm already here, then he's ...... It doesn't matter anymore. ”
"Here...... Except for that cocoon, you're the only one?" Jiang Xiao asked in a deep voice. Since the burial is busy absorbing the blood of the heart, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. At least with the healing of the mess, the rate of blood loss in the heart has been able to maintain balance and be controlled. Right now...... It is enough to solve the wound abyss alone.
"Yes. The dean really knows you very well. I had proposed to him that I go with him to Lake Baikal, and that it be left to the burial of the sin. But he rejected my offer and said...... The ability to bury the wrong...... It may not be able to hide it from you. In case he is found out, he needs me to wipe his ass for him. ”
"What?!" Jiang Xiao's heart suddenly shook: "Your dean...... Went to Lake Baikal?!"
"Of course. Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "Now that we have reached this point, of course we have already been able to determine that your goal is Lake Baikal." Although when you first went to Los Angeles to meet the civilian oceanographer to borrow a boat, we wondered if the seeds were hidden under some sea. But then, since you landed in Vladivostok, and considering that your ship is equipped with a deep-sea submersible that is more than 2,000 meters deep, if we still can't guess your destination, we might as well just wipe your neck. ”
"Damn it!"
Jiang Xiao secretly cursed in his heart.
The academy's intelligence network is too tight and huge.
Since the beginning of the country, they have been trying their best to hide their tracks, blur the direction of the future travel, and use all the tricks they can use. But the people of the academy have always been like maggots on tarsal bones, chasing closely behind.
What's more, through the clues they occasionally exposed, the academy can even take a step ahead to judge the direction of their travel, mobilize good people in advance, and set up an ambush in front to wait!
What is terrifying is not only the huge energy of the academy, but also the reasoning and judgment ability of that dean!
"Nothing to marvel at. Hurt Yuan seemed to guess the thoughts in Jiang Xiao's heart: "Since you also know that our dean is a priest, you should be able to imagine that the wisdom of a priest is omnipotent." ”
"Okay...... It seems that all we can do now is to kill you quickly and rush to Lake Baikal. Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes burning: "It's just that I still don't understand a little, why do you spend so much time chatting with us?
"Ahahahaha!" Hurt Yuan raised his head and laughed: "What the dean said is indeed right, Jiang Xiao's talent may not even be under Xinyun, a priest who has inherited tens of thousands of years of memory fragments and wisdom!
"That's right!" Hurt Yuan suddenly straightened up, but the expression on his face was not embarrassed to be seen through, but smug: "But my purpose is ...... But not to gain any advantage for himself, but simply to ...... I just want to see what it will be like when the burial comes out of the cocoon! After all, this is the first time he has used this ability!"
"What!" Jiang Xiao turned his head sharply and looked at the black giant cocoon called the burial, and found that its beating speed was already a little faster than before.
And...... The speed is slowly increasing!
"You may have just guessed that the power of the burial is to extract the blood from the original owner's body through the original blood as a medium! But what you won't know is...... This is not actually an attack method for the burial, but just a necessary way for him to grow up!"
"And when he sucks enough blood from his target......"
Before Hurt Yuan's words were finished, Jiang Xiao had already kicked the ground with both feet, pounced towards Hurt Yuan, and shouted loudly at Zhao Tianyu behind him: "Cut that black callon!"
Jiang Xiao knew that his attack power was probably not enough to destroy that cocoon in a short period of time, but Zhao Tianyu, who had a high frequency enhancement, would definitely be able to split it in half as long as he slashed it!
And the current burial naturally has no ability to fight back. Otherwise, there is no need to deliberately delay the time and wait for its transformation.
So what Jiang Xiao has to do now is to drag the injured abyss! Even if it's just a second, as long as Zhao Tianyu can rush in front of the giant cocoon, it will be enough!
The tacit understanding between Zhao Tianyu and Jiang Xiao naturally did not need to be said, and before Jiang Xiao could speak, she had already rushed towards the giant cocoon in the corner of the second floor.
"You ...... You look down on contemptible people too much, right?"
At the same time as Jiang Xiao and the two moved, Shen Yuan also snorted coldly, and suddenly disappeared from the sofa.
Jiang Xiao was originally less than ten meters away from the injured abyss, and Zhao Tianyu was only more than thirty meters away from the corner where the giant cocoon was located. At her speed, it only takes a second to arrive.
But...... But she didn't want to give her a mere second!
