Bulwark of Light

Chapter 861 The Thorn of Light

[Tan Yao] Under the ground, waves of flames rolled.

A thin figure sat cross-legged in the flame wave, covered and engulfed by countless flame dust.

The pitch-black robe symbolizing the identity of the adjudicator began to burn in the flames, which meant that the "Blazing Fire" domain could no longer compete with Tanyao Mountain Ash, and gradually began to shrink.

Gu Shen stood up and picked up the sparks floating in the sky.

The "skin of iron scales" covers the surface of the body with a thin layer.

He let out a long breath, at this moment, the countless waves of flames tumbling under Tan Yao's ground had subdued their original blood color, which meant that more than [-]% of the "blood fire" floating outside had been swallowed up by Gu Shen.

The remaining ones will inevitably dissipate in the process of devouring.

The dead are gone.

"Too much mental power has been used this time... a little overdrawn..."

Gu Shen stretched out his fingers and rubbed the center of his brows.

He switched his breathing method to the breath of spring, trying to recover quickly.

But it works very poorly.

At this moment, Gu Shen's recovery speed of mental power is much slower than before.

On the one hand, the reason is that he is currently at the bottom of Tanyao, and the mountain ash density is too high, which has played a "restraint" effect on himself.

And Gu Shen felt a little uneasy.

Is it because the Sangzhou Grottoes are about to be destroyed?

It is extremely risky for him to stay here to devour the "Blood Fire".

But after he calmed down his breathing, he realized that the real anxiety in his heart did not come from this.

"Baixiu Shenli and the others should have evacuated safely..."

Gu Shen murmured in his heart.

According to the plan I arranged before my departure, Mu Wanqiu, who arrived in the S12 area, will complete the docking with Fisher. After the Beizhou Energy Boat lands safely, the local residents of the South Cave can leave, and the law enforcement officers who sincerely meet can also leave.

If the large army can safely evacuate, the stone in his heart can be considered to be able to fall to the ground.

Thinking of this, Gu Shen took out the pendant again.

"..."

But the strange thing is that although the pendant is still vibrating at this moment, there is no longer any reminder.

There are no "don't go" or "get out of here" prompts.

This is the first time Gu Shen has encountered such a situation!

【Guardian of Goddess of Destiny】will often provide users with a correct and reliable "instruction plan". For example, the previous owner Hong Zhong, the pendant guided Hong Zhong out of the maze and back to Gubao in order to save Hong Zhong's life.

Because only by fleeing back to Gubao Fortress, can Hong Zhong meet himself and save his life.

"So, the fluctuation disappeared...does the pendant think I'm 'incurable'? The pendant thinks I'm in a dead end?"

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He was in no hurry to leave.

After thinking calmly, Gu Shen felt... since the pendant no longer gives instructions, there is no point in leaving in a hurry at this moment.

When the earth collapsed and the mountains shook, Gu Shen decided to stay a little longer. There was also an ancient inscription on the "Longevity Technique" engraved on the mountain wall. He had no time to read it before, but now... at least he should read this legend before leaving. What is the mystery of the "Longevity Art Formation" in the book.

Gu Shen came to the high-hanging heart, looking at the obscure lines lingering into a tree.

After shooting three arrows, the owl died.

That heart was also exhausted.

The "blood fire" that made up the heart was devoured by Gu Shen, and the surrounding ancient characters also dimmed.

"The ancient text around this heart seems to have condensed into a small formation."

Gu Shen observed carefully and at the same time stretched out his hand to caress these ancient texts.

The flames were scorching hot, and the rock walls cracked.

Due to the effect of [tide], the bottom of the island has begun to crack, a large amount of seawater has seeped into it, and the heat wave at the bottom of Tanyao is rolling... But the area near the ancient text of the longevity technique is still stable. It seems to be an independent space, self-contained, even if Island collapse is also unaffected.

"As expected of the 'Longevity Technique', the surrounding space is extremely solid. Even if the Sangzhou Cave is broken and Tan Yao collapses, this small space should still be stable..."

"It's a pity...I can't take everything here with me."

Gu Shen just looked at it for a moment, then shook his head regretfully.

This rock wall is too large, and because of the ancient text, it is self-contained. Even if Gu Shen used the [Pure Land] domain to induce a large amount of wind and snow to sweep across, it only slightly shook the array glow.

It is impossible to take it away.

He also knows that it is not something that can be done in a short time if he wants to comprehend these ancient texts.

"It seems that I have nothing to do with it... It doesn't make sense to stay any longer."

Gu Shen was a little reconciled, but he had no other choice.

He finally stayed at the bottom of the mountain for a short while, and when his mental strength recovered a little, he held the pendant in his hand and looked up at the crack of Tanyao above, where countless mountain ash swept across, revealing a pitch-black zenith.

It's time to leave.

……

……

"You didn't finish your mission?"

The miniature energy boat galloped over the ice sea. At this moment, the altitude dropped very low, and it was close to the sea surface all the way. The air waves burning from the energy core set off a large number of white waves on the tail.

Bai Xiu moved his head to look at the woman beside him.

Mu Wanqiu, who was wearing a red armor, looked calm and sat in the co-pilot's seat without fastening his seat belt.

"After leaving the Sangzhou Grotto, connect with [Deep Sea]...the remaining task is to drive back to Dongzhou Dadu."

Mu Wanqiu said indifferently: "This kind of task can be completed on another dog. What's the point of me staying on the main boat? Don't forget that it was my suggestion to turn back and save people."

"Since you're traveling together...why don't you drive?"

Bai Xiu was silent for two seconds, then spoke again.

"It's very simple, I want to see you make a fool of yourself."

Mu Wanqiu put one hand on the outside of the energy boat, she looked at the miniature boat that almost fell to the level of the sea, and she looked a little disappointed, because Bai Xiu's performance let her down.

This guy is indeed a genius.

The operation of the miniature energy boat is indeed not complicated, but beginners who come into contact with it for the first time have to face at least a dozen unknown buttons... Generally speaking, even those drivers with high talents will experience "unstable driving" at the beginner stage Case.

But Baixiu didn't.

After setting off hundreds of meters of low-altitude waves, the miniature boat began to climb, and its speed increased in a straight line.

"Sorry for disappointing you."

Bai Xiu said calmly: "Although this is my first time driving an energy boat, I will definitely not crash."

This statement sounds very conceited.

But with the rise of the miniature boat... this arrogant statement is extremely appropriate.

"Is it because the mental power is strong enough? It is also fast enough to read information, and the absorption speed is also fast..."

Before leaving, Fisher passed the spirit of the operation manual of the miniature boat to Baixiu.

This is the only explanation Mu Wanqiu can think of at the moment - this guy is indeed a genius, in every sense of the word.

But it was also too fast.

At this moment, the speed of the miniature boat has already surpassed the sound barrier, and it is still increasing.

"Wait, there seems to be something wrong?"

Mu Wanqiu frowned.

She noticed that the pupils of the white sleeves had turned into a pure azure blue color, and there was a subtle and imperceptible crackling sound in the sleeves!
This means that he has used the power of [Thunder World Walker].

After discovering this, Mu Wanqiu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, let go of her mental power, and immediately her expression became weird.

She sensed a special "existence" under the bottom cabin of the miniature boat.

A humanoid creature composed of thunder and lightning raised its hands, in the posture of carrying a tripod, and moved forward at high speed together with the miniature boat.

"...Is that what you mean by 'absolutely no crash'?"

After she was stunned, she spoke in a complicated tone, with a bit of resentment.

"What, is there a problem?"

Bai Xiu asked seriously.

Mu Wanqiu didn't know how to answer for a while... Of course, there is no problem. Sending [Thunder World Walker] to lift the miniature boat to fly, even if it is an idiot to drive the boat, it will not fall.

However, what is the difference between this and cheating?
"It's about to enter the 'mountain ash dense area'."

Bai Xiu whispered: "I will drive directly into the core area of ​​[Tan Yao]... Can you sense Gu Shen's specific location?"

Mu Wanqiu, who has always been sensitive, subconsciously tightened up when she heard this question.

At this moment in Sangzhou Grotto, the Sky Eyes have been completely destroyed.

Psychopathy is even more ineffective.

The only thing that might work...is the [Authority] link.

Bai Xiu asked himself, did he notice something?
"Not too sure."

Mu Wanqiu hesitated for a moment.

"Not too sure, so you should still be a little sure?"

Mu Wanqiu was dumbfounded, and immediately frowned, "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

"If you didn't have the slightest idea, why would you jump on this tiny boat?" Bai Xiu said lightly, "I think you should have some cards, use them as you need them, and don't take my existence too seriously. If it's inconvenient I'm here, and I can hand over the driving rights to you at that time, and then I will be responsible for the reception at the zenith of Sangzhou Grotto."

"..."

Mu Wanqiu opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

Looking at the white clothes and white sleeves, she felt that this guy was a bit "scary" for the first time, even though the white sleeves were "focusing on driving" at the moment, she still had the illusion that she was seen through.

Out of this illusion.

At this moment, an extremely real thought came to her heart.

She hoped that she would never be an enemy of a guy like Bai Xiu.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say these words to get your information, nor to test you... It's just because I don't have any way to link Gu Shen and get in touch with him. A strong sense of foreboding surged up. For some reason, I always feel that the evolution of the Sangzhou Grotto incident is heading in a bad direction, and the core hub that all these are connected to is none other than Gu Shen."

Bai Xiu opened his mouth slowly and said, "So I came back to see if the fastest 'rescue' can dispel the ominous feeling in my heart."

"what do you mean?"

Mu Wanqiu was startled.

"Perhaps Gu Shen encountered an unsolvable trouble."

Bai Xiu was silent for a few seconds, and said: "With his strength, he hasn't returned to the S12 area at this time, and he hasn't even received any news. Isn't that enough to explain?"

……

……

"boom!"

[Tan Yao]'s mountain pass exploded a large cloud of mountain ash.

The ashes that have been accumulated here for hundreds of years have been almost hollowed out with the eruption again and again.

At this moment, [-]% of the dust in the [Tan Yao] mountain is floating on the zenith of Sangzhou Grottoes, and with the movement of the [Tide], they are sailing to the south of the ice sea.

Above the ridge, the heat wave rolled.

Space here is distorted by the heat.

The black clouds and mountain ash on the zenith were smashed by countless great winged sparrows...

A figure in heavy armor stopped near the top of the mountain.

He looked up.

In this dead world, there is no trace of life. [Tide] cut off the last ray of life of the isolated island of Sangzhou Grotto. A large amount of sea water is pushing it to drive into the ice sea. Even the creatures on the island can clearly feel the crustal movement at this moment. arrive.

So countless beast spirits flocked to it.

The mountain ushered in unprecedented violent tremors. This was the last "carnival" of these extraordinary creatures before they died. They had broken through most of the city, and the extraordinary who should be evacuated on the Sangzhou Grotto had also completed their evacuation. .

In the midst of the heat wave, a tall man in armor stretched out his fingertips, and lightly touched a spot of light falling in front of him.

This small ray of light spread out instantly after being touched, and turned into a round ball of flame light, like a sun.

Su Ye's face appeared in the ball of light.

The blessed son's eyes are golden at the moment, and his hair is also golden. He looks directly at the armored figure in the heat wave, and his voice is a little hoarse: "Mr. Jia Wei, no matter where you are... it's time to leave now." Yes, this is an order from the temple."

With just this word, the sphere of flame light gradually dissipated, gathered into small light spots again, and then disappeared in the blazing waves of the mountain ridge.

"..."

Jia Wei silently looked at the world of the rift in front of him. The recovery of [Tan Yao] had come to the final step. The rift, which might have been the size of a few people hugging each other, had spread to a radius of nearly [-] meters wide.

He stood on the edge of the rift, as if standing in front of a sinkhole.

Following the intuition in his heart, after he left the West Cave, he climbed all the way and finally came here.

Jia Wei, who believes in the guidance of the light, feels that the intuition that suddenly emerged in his heart led him here, maybe there is something... But at present, it may be that he is thinking too much.

Only one thing can happen here.

That is [Tan Yao] erupting, lava pouring out.

Su Ye was right, it was indeed time to withdraw.

[Tan Yao] Once it erupts, such a short distance...even if I wear S-level protective gear, I may not be able to resist this level of disaster.

"Crack."

Just when Jia Wei turned around, the volcano behind him spewed out a fiery breath again.

His pupils contracted suddenly.

The reaction speed of this top fourth-order is extremely fast. During this time of the flame wave, he sensed an extremely familiar breath almost immediately...

So Jia Wei stretched out his palm.

The light-breaking guns condense instantly.

He grabbed the Light Breaking Spear, turned back and forth, and stepped on the ground with his toes to create a deep pit. With the sound of roaring flame waves, countless lights condensed into a three-meter-long spear in his palm. It pierced through layers of flame waves, and also pierced countless mountain ash.

Just such a shot pierced the chest of the black robe.

"...?!"

Gu Shen's expression was astonished, with blood gushing from the corner of his lips.

The speed of the shot was so fast that he had no time to react.

Because this shot was originally a coincidence.

As the strongest among the fourth ranks, Jia Wei, under the arrangement of the right time, place and people, seized the gap for a moment and stabbed this spear, which was completely drawn by instinct.

He is very sensitive to Gu Shen's breath, and has always had a headache about the "prime suspect" who has no chance to solve the Blessed Son's murder in private.

But at this moment, Gu Shen's aura appeared.

Jia Wei made a decision in an instant.

There are countless mountain ash here, and the spirit and authority have lost their effect. There is no better environment for "raiding and killing" than at this moment.

So he shot decisively and stabbed this shot——

Time seemed to freeze.

"Well……"

Gu Shen reacted from the attack, but it was already too late, the killing intent of the Light Breaking Spear poured into his body, he grabbed the big gun with both hands, trying to break it off, but he couldn't shake it a bit.

"Gu Shen, we meet again."

The eyes under the Mingguang armor were hot and cold.

There was no emotion in Jia Wei's voice: "It must be Guangming's will to arrange for you and me to meet again here... Although I have no evidence, I firmly believe from beginning to end that you killed Meng Xiao."

After a brief pause.

Jia Wei turned the barrel of the gun, and said coldly: "The truth back then, probably...is the same as it is now."

The big gun was pulled out from Gu Shen's chest.

Blood rushes.

Gu Shen fell towards the bottom of Tanyao Mountain.

This scene, no one saw, no one heard, no one noticed.
