Chapter 231 Rescue
Machine City.

market.

The bustle and bustle of the past has disappeared.

The entire market was empty, only a few people stood at the place where Liu Ping and Norton teleported away.

It was a man in a black robe.

He stood in front of the railing, slowly exhaling smoke rings.

behind him.

The three masked men knelt on the ground and told what had happened.

The man listened quietly.

after awhile.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with you coming directly to the market to catch those two boys—things like restricted area passes are not allowed to wander outside."

Several masked people breathed a sigh of relief.

The man took a deep breath of the cigarette and continued:
"Unfortunately, that restricted area pass was wasted by you."

"Such a loss is really undeserved."

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
There were three sounds in a row.

The masked people disappeared from the spot before they had time to react.

Instead, there are three scarecrows tied to a wooden frame.

In the void, someone asked with a smile:

"Master Xiegui, are you cold?"

The man in the black robe exhaled smoke rings, and said slowly: "The master of the machine has begun to question this personnel transfer, and has personally begun to inspect the madhouse... What a trouble."

The smiling voice said: "I'll kill those two teenagers. As long as they die, this matter will naturally have no purpose, and the Mechanic Master will give up and continue to ask."

The man named Xiegui didn't answer.

The voice continued: "I've checked their origins—it's an extremely weak refuge, it was just destroyed by monsters yesterday, so..."

"Even if there are some adventures in those two teenagers, so what? In our mechanical city, which one of the survivors has no adventures?"

"Let me go, my lord, I haven't played a hunting game for a long time."

The evil ghost said with a cigarette in his mouth, "No."

The voice said: "You—why didn't you let me go?"

"I know you want to play," the evil spirit said slowly, "but your deck is more of a curse type. According to the Tarot cards, one of the two teenagers can restrain the curse."

The voice suddenly became full of gloomy killing intent, and said sharply: "Is it a card master with a spell deck? I really want to—"

The evil ghost interrupted him: "No, according to the results of divination, it should be a healing card master."

The voice suddenly paused and lazily said:

"It's about healing. Two teenage boys happened to learn the healing power of lifting curses. It's really boring to fight. It's a waste of my time."

"That's right," the evil ghost said, "To deal with this kind of young man who has just learned the healing technique, it's better to let the Boxer go."

Another dull voice suddenly sounded:

"Sir, I am here."

This time the evil spirit nodded.

"Go and kill those two teenagers, bring the bodies back and hang them on the tree outside the mechanical city, as a warning to everyone."

"Yes."

The dull voice disappeared.

The voice from before asked again with a smile: "Master Xie Gui, are you cold?"

The evil spirit lit a cigarette again, and murmured:

"I hear there's a blizzard tonight—it's so cold."

The voice said happily: "Yes, it's very cold, I prepared a good torch for your lord."

behind the evil spirit.

The three scarecrows tied to the wooden frame burst into flames with a "huh".

As they burned, they howled in pain that seemed to be nothing.

The evil spirit smoked slowly.

After a while, he said with satisfaction:
"It's warmer."

……

in the snow.

The two figures were running fast.

Liu Ping suddenly paused and said, "Stop."

"What's wrong?" Norton asked.

"look here--"

Liu Ping pushed aside the snow, only to see a frozen corpse buried inside.

"This is not a human corpse, but rather some kind of bug."

Norton hesitated.

Liu Ping turned the corpse over, and his gaze fell on Chongzi's chest.

I saw a large hollow hole punched out by something in the worm's chest, and the carapace around it was completely shattered.

"Did your companion kill it?" Norton asked.

"What a headache, I can't tell if she did it." Liu Ping sighed.

Hua Qingkong is a spirit caller.

The spirit she summoned was different each time, so the fighting methods were completely different, and it was impossible to tell whether the bug was killed by her.

Liu Ping stood up and looked around.

"I can already identify the road here-going north will lead to a ruin, going south, we will reach a collapsed underground passage, let's go south first, it is close to the border of the world of fools, I made an appointment with my companion Good to meet you there."

"Okay." Norton said.

The two figured out the direction and walked against the wind and snow all the way to the depths of the rugged snow-capped mountains.

A quarter of an hour later.

Turning around the mountain, on the snow in front of him lay a huge corpse seven or eight meters high.

The upper body of this corpse is a human, and the lower body is a worm.

A big hole was blown out of its chest, and the wind and snow poured into it, slightly covering the black blood and broken internal organs.

Even though it is dead, the power it radiates still makes people feel palpitating.

"That companion of yours seems to be very strong." Norton sighed.

"The bug hasn't been dead for long—let's hurry up." Liu Ping said.

The two ran with all their might.

suddenly.

Norton took out the card book, put his hand on it, and said in a low voice, "The Hidden Path!"

all of a sudden.

The wind and snow were covering both sides, and a path appeared under the two of them.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping asked.

"If you open the secret path, no one will be able to find us. If you want to save people, it will be safer." Norton said.

"That's right." Liu Ping agreed.

They ran forward along the path.

Soon.

Intensive fighting sounded from the front.

"God..."

Norton stopped slowly.

Looking around, the front is densely packed with bugs.

These bugs tightly surrounded a cave and were constantly charging into it.

The tide is slowly tilting.

There are more and more bugs that can enter the cave.

"Someone is trapped inside." Liu Ping said.

"I'll control the trail, let's go around it," Norton said.

"It's too late, you go save people, I'll attract their attention!" Liu Ping said.

He stepped out of the path and threw a card casually.

Bang!
Libertas landed on the snow, glanced around, and said quickly, "Hua Qingkong is in the cave?"

"It should be her, otherwise who can just stay on the border? And have the ability to kill so many bugs?" Liu Ping said.

"The situation is not good, we must save her immediately!"

Libertas took out a grenade from his waist and threw it far away.

"Hey—come and kill me!" he yelled.

boom!
The grenade exploded in the sea of ​​insects.

In the sea of ​​insects, several insects flew out and rushed towards Libertas.

More bugs remained unmoved and continued to attack the cave.

Libertas turned and ran, shouting at Liu Ping:
"No, if there are too many of them, I will die, and if there are too few, I won't be able to save Hua Qingkong!"

Liu Ping shook his head, pulled out the book card, and put his hand on it.

"Lilith."

"clear."

Kashu shook slightly, sending out some invisible fluctuations.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"You spent 10 points of soul power to activate the 'Death Doll'."

10 points of soul power!
so much?
It seems that the bug is very strong.

Liu Ping thought to himself.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The earth began to shake.

A huge figure came quickly from the way Liu Ping and Norton came.

——That gigantic worm with a height of seven or eight meters!

It came to Liu Ping, lowered its head slowly, and let out a low hum of inquiry.

"superior."

Liu Ping said briefly.

The giant worms rushed straight into the sea of ​​insects, and began to fight desperately.

This caused a commotion among the insects.

They chirped in confusion, as if trying to communicate with the giant bug.

But the giant worm was already dead, and it was just a dead doll at this time, not listening to their calls at all.

It is constantly fighting in the swarm.

Liu Ping looked at it for a while, raised his hand, and released the blossoming holy lights on the injured bugs.

"Your soul power +1, +2, +1..."

——The soul power is back.

Not only that, even if those bugs were injured, they were still very ferocious.

But after treatment, they started to look listless.

The giant bugs kept harvesting their lives.

"Lilith, make those dead bugs into dolls." Liu Ping said.

"With your current strength, you can still transform the two ends." Lilith said.

It's the same as in Devil City.

My upper limit is to transform three powerful dead creatures, but the soul power consumed is different, it has to be calculated according to the strength of the monster.

The bugs who besieged the cave had to turn their heads and slowly approached the giant bug.

Liu Ping searched among the many bugs, and said in a low voice, "That end."

Lilith looked in the direction he pointed.

next moment.

A bug with six pairs of wings and a blue light emitting from its body flew up.

It flew around the back of the giant bug, continuously releasing sharp wind blades in all directions, killing those companions who tried to attack the giant bug.

Liu Ping stepped back a few more steps, and picked out a new bug while unleashing life-saving and healing techniques.

The worm exudes a frosty air, and every time it releases a spell, it can make the worm group fall into a short-term stagnation state.

soon.

The civil war of the swarm has reached a fever pitch.

——In front of the dense swarm of insects, even if the three-headed insects form a perfect battle formation, they will gradually lose their strength.

suddenly.

A voice rang in Liu Ping's ear.

"It's so dangerous. The fight inside was fierce. Fortunately, all the bugs blocking the entrance of the hole were drawn out by you—you see, she has also reached the point of exhaustion."

It was Norton's voice.

Immediately afterwards, a tired female voice sounded:

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I can still play, but I haven't slept for two days, I'm just a little sleepy."

Liu Ping turned around suddenly, only to see Norton's hand on the card book, showing a figure from the side.

behind Norton.

A well-behaved girl wearing black-rimmed glasses stood there pretty.

flower clear sky!
boom--

There was a roar not far away.

Libertas yelled wildly: "Hahaha, there are so many, hahaha, I'm almost overwhelmed, Liu Ping help!"

Hua Qingkong glanced at Libertas, then at Norton, and finally, her eyes fell on Liu Ping.

"You are finally here."

she smiled.

"Yes, we finally got you." Liu Ping smiled.
