Volume 1 The Age of Chaos Chapter 40 Black Rain
A crescent moon hung high in the sky, and countless monsters on the plains of the earth howled and roared.
Every night, Breeze City will be besieged by monster groups, but here are the guards of the Martial God Temple, plus some mercenaries who are willing to fight low-level monster materials, ordinary monsters attack in a group to shake Breeze City.
Even with the obvious increase in the number and level of monsters this year, Breeze City's defense is still at ease.
"Are you really going to leave overnight? It's dangerous outside right now. Bai Qiyu asked with a frown.
Qi Wanli didn't know how to explain his intuition, so he could only say: "With the Black King here, ordinary monsters don't dare to approach at all, now Hong Xuanwu of the Martial God Hall obviously wants me to help him do things, Fan Jianxue can't be deceived for a while, it's too troublesome for us here, we have to leave quickly." ”
Bai Qiyu's mind moved slightly, and said, "It makes sense, we don't need to spend too much time here in Breeze City. ”
After reaching a consensus, the two began to pack their bags.
Qi Wanli used the energy in the backup core energy to break through the third-order Sky Walker level in a short period of time, which consumed a lot of energy, and he couldn't help him recover his strength for the time being, so he could only rely on the internal force of the Tuna operation to recover on his own.
A few minutes later, Bai Qiyu packed up the necessities, and Qi Wanli also regained his basic mobility.
"Let's go. ”
However, as soon as they left the hotel and entered the street, the sky suddenly became cloudy, obscuring the moon.
Qi Wanli, who has become a Sky Walker, is very sensitive to moonlight, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, only to see that this dark cloud came extremely fast, covering the sky in just a moment, and it was so thick that it was about to drip ink.
There was a thunderclap and heavy rain.
A big umbrella was stretched out above the heads of the two of them, and the black king, who hated rain, also climbed onto Qi Wanli's shoulder, like a scarf.
But soon, they realized that something was wrong.
"How is this rain sticky?" When Qi Wanli raised his feet and took a step, he found that the soles of his shoes were stuck by the rain on the ground, although the viscosity was very small and small, but it was obviously not ordinary clear water.
Bai Qiyu stretched out his hand out of the umbrella, then took a small handful of rainwater, looked at it, and his face changed slightly: "Black rain!"
At this time, Dark Yuan had already quickly analyzed the handful of rain in Bai Qiyu's hand through Qi Wanli's eyes and gave a conclusion.
"Unknown chemical synthetic, harmless to humans, analysis concluded that it is a mutated catalyst. ”
Mutation catalysts? It's the same black skin that they use to make money?
Suddenly, Qi Wanli's face changed greatly: "Oh no, this is a mutation catalyst, how many monsters are there outside the city now?"
Bai Qiyu's face gradually turned white, and they had an extremely bad premonition in their hearts, and they quickly ran towards the city wall.
A curfew was imposed at night in Breezy to protect the city's residents. Although there are guards of the Martial God Temple and a large number of mercenaries, there are also ordinary people with a larger base, and it is not good if some strange monsters are touched into the city and cause casualties before the Martial God Temple hunts them down.
So, the streets of Breeze City at night are quiet and empty.
But on the other side of the wall, the noise was getting louder and louder.
"Master Wanli!" Just as the two of them were about to approach the city wall, suddenly a greeting came from behind them, and Qi Wanli looked back, it was none other than Hong Xuanwu.
Hong Xuanwu was coming quickly with a group of people from the Martial God Temple.
Qi Wanli scolded secretly in his heart, but he politely saluted on his face: "Lord Hong." ”
Hong Xuanwu nodded, pointed to Ning Xiaolou beside him and introduced, "This is the deputy bishop of the Nanlin Peninsula diocese of our Martial God Temple, Ning Xiaolou. ”
Qi Wanli's heart moved slightly, the deputy bishop of the second-order martial artist realm, but he didn't show it, and also politely saluted.
Hong Xuanwu didn't be polite anymore, and asked with a straight face: "Master Wanli, do you know what is going on with this black rain?"
You don't even know what it is, so you dare to walk in the rain without an umbrella!
Qi Wanli's face twitched, and he said solemnly: "This thing is harmless to people, but it is most likely to be a mutation catalyst, and if it falls on a monster, it is very likely to cause a wide range of monster mutations." ”
Ning Xiaolou sighed and said, "No wonder, just now we were on the high tower, and we saw that the monsters under the city wall suddenly became much more ferocious. ”
At this time, Hong Xuanwu had already ordered the soldiers of the Martial God Temple behind him to go to the city wall to support, listening to the conversation between Qi Wanli and Ning Xiaolou, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Wanli, can this matter be related to the things you said this morning?"
Qi Wanli frowned, and then listened to Ning Xiaolou say on the side: "After receiving your news from Master Wanli, we sent a team tonight to the monster lair where the robot was found at that time, and let them bring enough invisibility potions to find out what was in the depths of the lair. ”
"It's too reckless!" Qi Wanli shouted in his heart, but he didn't say it, when Hong Xuanwu asked him for help, he refused, but at this time, he came to point out and criticize their way of doing things, which was really a bit of a fight.
What's more, it was also because he didn't tell the Martial God Temple the true truth about the so-called monster's lair that would make them misjudge, strictly speaking, if it really caused serious consequences, he would be responsible.
Thinking of this, he sighed leisurely and said, "It seems that it is very likely that the exploration team encountered something bad in the monster factory deep in the lair. It is still impossible to make a conclusion, if it is just a black rain that will cause mutation, I believe that Breeze City can still deal with it, I am afraid that the monster tide mentioned in the analysis report will arrive in advance. ”
Hong Xuanwu raised his head, let the black rain fall on his masculine face, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what kind of threat it is, it can't make us humans retreat half a step!"
The voice was sonorous and powerful, and he strode like an arrow towards the wall.
Ning Xiaolou had a smile on his face, smiled at Qi Wanli and said "unaccompanied", and quickly followed.
Qi Wanli's heart sank, and he felt some respect and shame. Bai Qiyu, who understood what was going on, looked at him a few times on the side and said, "It seems that you don't want to leave?"
"Don't you want to blend in with the human world?" Qi Wanli suddenly laughed and said, "Do you want to leave a little brilliant record here?"
Bai Qiyu glanced at him and scolded: "You can say such a bad excuse, it's a shame." Let's go, kill more monsters and get some materials to sell for money!"
Qi Wanli laughed: "You can find this excuse much better than me!"
......
The battle situation on the walls of Breeze City was far easier than Qi Wanli imagined.
Although a black rain caused these monsters under the city walls to mutate to varying degrees, the soldiers of the Martial God Temple were still very easy to deal with.
They have been guarding here for many years and know the ecology of the nearby monsters well.
No matter how the monster mutates, it's roughly within a range, frogs won't mutate into poisonous snakes, wolf dogs won't mutate into elephants, as long as you master the basic weaknesses of these monsters, there is always a way to deal with it.
Even if there are some monsters with a high degree of mutation and extremely strange abilities, they will be dealt with by the extraordinary and powerful mercenaries in the Martial God Temple.
Therefore, even though the monsters under the black rain became more and more ferocious, the defense line on the city wall quickly stabilized under the command of Hong Xuanwu after the initial hectic and regained the dominance.
Beneath the walls, countless monsters stumbled on the bodies or corpses of their companions, spitting foul-smelling spittle, gaping their bloody mouths, and pounced with their instincts to seek food.
In the black rain, these monsters are constantly mutating, and from time to time they suddenly grow a pair of broken wings from their backs, or suddenly spray acid from their mouths, which can make the soldiers scramble.
However, no matter how they mutate, the soldiers can react extremely quickly and kill these monsters with spears, bows and arrows, axes, hammers, and other weapons.
After all, monsters that can reach the third order or more are a minority.
Hong Xuanwu didn't make a move, he stood at the top of the city wall with sharp eyes to direct the battle, and wherever the big sword in his hand pointed, high morale would erupt there.
Bai Qiyu also joined the battle, as a life-dependent, she did not directly participate in the fight, but took up the position of a medical soldier in the rear, and a faint green smoke flew between her fingers, stopping the bleeding and healing the wounded soldiers.
Qi Wanli also did not join the battle, the feeling of weakness caused by the continuous breakthrough had not subsided, he walked to Hong Xuanwu's side, looked up at the black rain in the sky, and said: "Lord Hong, I'm afraid things are not so simple, the rain cannot appear out of thin air, it is produced by the water cycle, there must be its source." ”
Hong Xuanwu frowned, turned his head and glanced at Ning Xiaolou, Ning Xiaolou nodded and said, "Master Wanli is right, there must be someone in the sky when it rains at this time...... Or something, something added to the water cycle, maybe in the sea, maybe in the clouds. ”
It seems that this Ning Xiaolou is Hong Xuanwu's think tank. Qi Wanli smiled and praised: "Vice Bishop Ning is erudite. ”
"Don't dare. Ning Xiaolou said modestly: "It's just that Master Wanli has taken this layer into account, so he must have some suggestions?"
"Hmm. Qi Wanli thought for a while and said: "I don't think we can be beaten passively, I don't believe that this matter will end in the next black rain, if we can't find the source of the matter, I'm afraid the next trouble will be endless." ”
This is what he said after careful consideration, since he caused trouble because of his relationship, he still hoped to be able to make up for it, although no one knew that it was his problem, but he couldn't get through this level in his own heart.
The two high-level leaders of the Martial God Hall nodded, Hong Xuanwu's face softened a little, and asked, "Master Wanli, are you willing to help me with the Martial God Temple?"
Qi Wanli laughed: "Whether it is the Martial God Temple or the mercenaries, when facing these murderous and disgusting monsters, they are all a community of destiny. Lord Hong, don't send any team this time, I hope that the Martial God Temple will spend a lot of money, pick a few mercenaries who are not afraid of death and have strong abilities, and go together to end this matter. ”
"Yes!" Hong Xuanwu turned his head to look at the increasingly crazy group of monsters under the city wall, and said: "I'll go too! Ning Xiaolou, you will command the defense! Master Wanli, I, Hong, will listen to your command!"
Qi Wanli tried his best not to ignore the wild warning intuition, and said with a smile: "I can only ask Lord Hong to condescend first." ”
