Chapter 369: Anomaly
"Haha! I'm not that fragile yet! The young man known as Ruhr said with a smile. It's just a little dizzy, just take a break. ”
"Okay, let's all wait for the day when Ruhl will be able to use flying, that crack is too wide, and it won't be fun without flying." The man said with a wry smile.
The two of them rested for a while, and then continued on to the wasteland.
Although the Blood Forest is gone, and it cannot be condensed and restored after losing the power of the Blood Cloud, it still leaves a lot of broken wood.
These wooden branches are left in the broken wasteland, and they are a large pile at random.
The two of them took the hemp rope and collected a few large pieces of wood and dragged them behind them, intending to pull them back like this.
However, as Ruhl was picking up the wood, he noticed a small black shadow disappearing!
"Mouse?!" Ruhr was overjoyed when he saw this!
Rats are arguably the only wild animals that can be seen in the wasteland, and the only source of animal protein except for the few remaining domestic animals in the village.
They had caught a few of them before, and although there was not much meat, they could still fight tooth sacrifices.
The companion next to him heard Ruhl's cry, and hurriedly threw down the hemp rope on his shoulder and rushed over.
The two of them looked towards a large hollow tree bark, and sure enough, they saw a small black shadow slowly wriggling.
Ruhl gestured to his companion, and the two of them tried to block the little guy from both sides.
His companion nodded, licked his shriveled lips and crept around......
Ruhl also cautiously came to the trunk of the tree.
"I've recovered some mana, let's just roast it here in a while, I can still perform a first-level small barbecue technique......" Ruel was already thinking about how to deal with this little thing.
At the same time, the companion who was already in place pounced even more!
I saw that he stretched out his big hand and directly grabbed the small black shadow, and then the whole person also pressed up.
"Hey, hey! Don't push so hard, okay? Although they are all going to die, you are not going to be bloodied, right? Ruhl quipped with a laugh.
"No...... Something is wrong......" the companion said in a suddenly trembling tone. "This thing, not a rat......"
"Huh? What is that? Ruhl asked, a little confused.
"This ...... This is...... Hmmm......"
However, his companion groaned as he spoke, sounding a little pained.
"Hey, hey! Don't scare me! What's going on?! Frightened, Ruhl walked over and dragged his companion out to help him up.
"Don't ...... Don't touch it...... I'm ......" However, his companion pushed Ruhl to the ground, roaring hoarsely. "I ...... I'm going to...... I'm going to...... Woman ......"
"Khaki! What are you talking nonsense...... Yes! Ruhl was about to scold his companion, but he found something terrifying!
"Woman, woman...... Yes...... In order to...... The host, I, need ...... The woman ......" Khaki twitched, and large blue-black tendons appeared on his face, as if something was scurrying under his skin......
Not only that, but his eyes were also completely black, and wisps of black mist seemed to be emerging......
Looking at Khaki's condition, Ruhl turned around and ran without hesitation!
'Got?! Something is wrong! Khaki can also do some exorcism spells! Why not?! Ruhl panicked and tried to run back to the settlement, but he didn't have to run a few steps before he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
'What the hell?' It's so slippery...... Ruhl is not a third-rate horror movie heroine who naturally falls flat, he suddenly stepped on a slippery and greasy thing and that's why he fell.
Although the situation was not good, he still subconsciously glanced at it.
However, he couldn't make out what it was, as there was only a strange pile of black slime left on the ground beneath his feet.
Ruhl only thought it was animal feces, and didn't care too much about getting up and running away, but he gasped when he turned his head......
Now he knew what he had stepped on......
It was a strange tadpole-like creature with a bloated oval body and a small, slightly short black tail.
Beneath that bloated body were six twitching, thin, deformed arms that looked like strange creatures from nightmares......
They're slowly burrowing out of the ground, and they're staggeringly numerous!
The ground around the Ruhr is already full of these strange creatures!
But fortunately, the speed of these things is not fast, and the speed at which they move on the ground can only be called wriggling.
'This is the kind of thing that the black shadow just now?! Then these guys should be able to act fast! Now I think it's because I just came out of the ground to look like this! Ruel swallowed and hurriedly got up and ran faster, but because the ground was full of such strange creatures, he couldn't run too fast to avoid slipping.
With an eerie chirp, Ruhl trampled several of these strange creatures to death with every step he took.
After running for only a few tens of meters, hundreds of them were trampled to death.
There was a disgusting smell in the air, and it felt as if it were fishy......
Ruhl forced himself to endure the breath, and as he walked briskly, he swung his feet and threw off some strange creatures that had grabbed his trouser legs.
Now he just wants to get out of this weird place as soon as possible, and get as far away from these disgusting creatures as possible!
He physiologically found these things unacceptable!
The shape, the smell, and the dense number......
'Go back and burn them!' It's disgusting...... Belch? Ruhl walked with a look of disgust, but suddenly he felt a chill run down the back of his neck, as if something was lying on it......
Cold, creamy skin......
Subtle creeping touch......
"Ahhhhhh
However, the moment he turned his head to glance, he realized that his back was already full of that strange and disgusting creature at some point!
"Ahhhh Ruhl frantically dragged the objects down and threw them to the ground, but more was crawling up his trouser legs.
"Get out! , ahhh~~" Ruhl cried and shouted, desperately trying to separate these things from himself completely.
Unfortunately, as Ruhl thought, the creature's speed gradually increases as it leaves the dirt.
The six arms of these monstrous creatures gradually become stronger and stronger, not only crawling faster and faster, but also using their thick tails to jump......
"Khaki! Save me! Help me~~ah~ah~ah~ah......"
Khaki staggered between these black creatures, and wherever they passed, these creatures would subconsciously stay away and make way for him.
At this time, Khaki's eyes and skin have become pitch black, it is not ordinary black, but the kind that is closer to the night, completely annihilating the light......
"Female ...... Woman ......"
A large black creature next to it suddenly jumped away in a hurry, as another figure was slowly getting up with a low roar......
Two figures roamed crookedly through the wilderness, groans and growls that seemed to appeal to some ancient will......
Zhang Banyu walked on this neat street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, and still felt a little uncomfortable.
Although I was born here and grew up here, it has only been a dozen years, no, it should be said that the changes in the past few years have been too great.
The transformation of the Five Elements Gate and the spread of immortal arts made him, an ordinary small trader, really unable to adapt to it, although it was also a good thing that his shop area expanded after the urban transformation.
And what kind of big array has caused a bumper harvest every year in the past few years, and the price of grain has fallen all the way, and finally the city lord's mansion has to come out to buy surplus grain to stop the farmers' losses.
"Those grain merchants are really too bad, there is no lower limit to bullying honest farmers......" Zhang Banyu sighed, watching several children happily playing with schoolbags on their backs, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
However, suddenly, one of the children was inexplicably hit by a ball of water!
"Ahh It took another long time to come out! But it's fun! It's so cool! The kid laughed. Zhao Tian and spells are so fun! ”
"Zhao Tianhe spell ...... What is that? A young man passing by looked at this scene, frowned and muttered to himself in some confusion.
"You're a newcomer, aren't you?" Zhang Banyu asked with a smile.
"Well, yes, Peng Cheng is here." The young man nodded and said with a smile.
"Peng Cheng? I remember that it seems to be quite far away, why did you come all the way to Huangtian City? Zhang Banyu asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, it's for work, and I haven't been back for a long time, and my hometown is here." The young man smiled and changed the subject. "I remember that I hadn't seen any Zhao Tianhe spells before, but I had the basic immortal education of the Five Elements Sect, right? Although I haven't left that period yet, it should have become popular in various cities in recent years. ”
"It's been popularized for a long time, but a while ago, the teachers of the Five Elements Gate in several schools in the south and north of the city were all kicked out by the Hundred Beast Gate." Zhang Banyu said with some emotion. "A while ago, the big families in the city, including me, a teacher who reluctantly stuffed his children into the school, had to salute obediently, but now no one can see them."
"It's a bit unauthentic for the Hundred Beasts Gate to do this, but the Five Elements Gate is helping to build roads and urban reform in various places to support education, and now it's just tearing up the agreement unilaterally......" The young man asked with a frown. Won't the people feel bad about this? ”
"The Hundred Beasts Gate is the boss here, they are many and strong, what if we people don't think it's good? What if you think it's good? In the end, they weren't the ones who made the decision! Zhang Banyu smiled and shook his head. Young man, justice and morality or something, in the end, isn't it what the grandfather and the monks say? ”
"No...... I mean, don't you think there's a problem with that Zhao Tianhe spell? The young man thought for a moment and asked. For example, children...... Hmmm......"
The young man suddenly remembered the behavior of the children just now......
"I don't know the specifics, but you can see that the children think the new course is very fun and easy to learn, but the delay after this spell is cast is very high, and it will take a while to release it." Speaking of this, Zhang Banyu also felt a little funny. "Why do you think this spell is still like an old man in his seventies and eighties, this is a slow response? Hahaha~~"
"Delay? Well...... It's really weird, I've never heard of a delay in immortal arts, but when it comes to spells, ......" The young man muttered to himself with a gloomy face, and walked into the distance.
Zhang Banyu looked at the back of this young man, and for some reason always felt a little familiar.
'Hmm...... It's a bit like the Uncle Wang who sells fish next door, is it his distant relative? But he said that his hometown was here...... Zhang Banyu thought about it, felt a little inexplicable, shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"I don't know if Li'er is okay...... It's not easy to look at him......" The young man looked at the roof not far away and shook his head with some emotion.
Not far away, ordinary children are using that strange water-making technique to fight water fights, although in this world, first-level spells have to be delayed for more than ten seconds, and they can only be released immediately until they are very proficient, but this also means that the magic net is indeed taking effect, otherwise theoretically speaking, this spell cannot be cast before mastering it.
But it was obvious that the penetration of the magic net was very weak, so weak that it was not yet possible to judge that Zhao Tianhe needed to be rewarded.
And this is what Zhao Tianhe needs the most, benefiting the people is secondary, and taking rewards to enhance self-preservation is the most important thing!
"Is it more popular? Spell ......" The young man looked at this scene and sighed. "Maybe the owner won't care, but someone does...... Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and they also need a transition time, but you appeared too quickly and too suddenly! ”
"So I'm sorry, Zhao Tianhe ......" The young man walked and disappeared into the hurried sea of people.
Forty minutes later......
"Well, I've got too many laid-off employees, so it's embarrassing, isn't it?" Zhao Tianhe looked at the young man in front of him with a blue nose and swollen face and asked.
"Yes, yes, and the unilateral tearing up of the treaty is also very difficult for our Five Elements Sect......" The young man nodded, trembling and trying to stand up, but his expression was very difficult.
As soon as this guy came up, he claimed to be a commissioner sent by the Five Elements Sect, Wang Yan, the head of the Tianhuo Gate, and wanted to talk to the master of the Hundred Beast Sect and Zhao Tianhe about the various agreements signed between the Five Elements Sect and them before.
Zhao Tianhe was practicing spells outside the mountain gate at that time, so he heard him introduce himself.
So he let him enter the outer maze enchantment that he had just perfected again and turn around a few times.
After all, he was a big man, so Zhao Tianhe was also afraid of being embarrassed and broken, so he also added some material to it, and the result was that this Wang Yan brother was tortured into this appearance.
Although the monks in this world all have self-healing techniques, Wang Yan's whole body bones have been broken dozens of times, plus he has to fight against various dangerous puppets and spell traps in the array, the divine power in his body has already been consumed, and naturally he can't use self-healing techniques.
"Alright, stand straight." Zhao Tianhe released a healing spell for Wang Yan and said with a calm expression. "This problem is actually very easy to solve, and the people we send to teach spells now are just some new mages from the Hundred Beast Sect who are now learning and selling. I can give you this encyclopedia of spells, and then you monks, it is also a very simple thing to switch to spells, and it is estimated that in two days, those original immortal teachers will be able to teach spells again. ”
"You...... Don't care if your exercises are learned? Wang Yan asked with some confusion.
"If I care, why do I teach the Hundred Beast Gate? How? You guys didn't investigate anything and hit the door? I was parachuted down, rootless and bottomless, at least I have nothing to do with the Hundred Beast Gate! Zhao Tianhe asked with a smile. Besides, don't you really care about your exercises being learned? ”
"That's because our gate master has big ambitions! Let the civilians of this world also have the opportunity to come into contact with immortal arts, and let this world no longer be controlled by a few people! At least...... At least you can't be controlled by those bastards who think they just want to soar! Wang Yan frowned and roared. Those guys can't wait to take the lives of people all over the world to continue into their own blood and bones for ascension and eternal life! ”
"Oh......" Zhao Tianhe was stunned when he heard this, he always felt that the Wang Yan brother in front of him felt a little familiar......
"Mr. Zhao Tianhe, although I don't know why you want to do something similar to ours, and your strength is also something I have never seen before, I just feel that you don't look like an ascender...... "Wang Yan said with some doubts.
"Why? Theoretically, the only one who can crush you is the Ascendant, right? Zhao Tianhe asked with some curiosity.
"I've looked into what you've done, so I can be sure that there's absolutely nothing good for you to spread those spells! Those children don't have any mana changes in their bodies, they don't have any special supernatural powers to absorb or anything like that. Wang Yan shook his head. What's more, those spells ...... It's weird! It's not immortal art, it's more like a kind of ancient thaumaturgy that I've been exposed to before, especially the fact that the time is not working and the spell casting delay is ......"
"The previous maze, what are the terrifying attack methods, strange puppets, those are all in this world, at least it is an absolutely impossible attack method in the Ten Thousand Immortals League and the vicinity! That is by no means the realm of immortal arts! Wang Yan said very firmly. I've seen the Ascendants, and I've seen the Ascendants compete with each other, how can I say that...... It is very rough and powerful, unable to resist, not as delicate and delicate as this formation, and has a special charm and concept in it. And more importantly, you don't have any supernatural powers in your body! I don't think I'm wrong about that! ”
Zhao Tianhe nodded when he heard this, he naturally knew from Kusta that there were also opportunities for spells to sprout in this world, and there were also primordial spells, so it was not uncommon for someone to see the difference now.
However, in fact, Zhao Tianhe still has benefits, but he didn't squeeze it from those civilians, but maybe it's the same to some extent, after all, who knows what kind of routine the magic net is?
