Chapter 180 Duel of Generals on the Battlefield
Chapter 180 Duel of Generals on the Battlefield
The convoy spent the night in the shadow of the air-raid shelter.
The next morning, the rain seemed to have lessened a bit, but the sky remained overcast, and the heavy humidity caused the perceived temperature to drop sharply.
Because he couldn't see the stars, Xu Si's cultivation stopped after entering the Rain World, but Su Su continued as usual.
Xu Si took out the two upgraded rare items, [Immortal Mist] and [Heroic Wrist], and handed them to Su Su and Ta Shan respectively.
"Give it a try," he said succinctly.
"Give it to me? Why?" Su Su looked puzzled, while Ta Shan, standing to the side, hesitated, unsure whether to accept it or not.
"There might be danger today, so I'm lending it to you temporarily. If you want it back, remember to return the strange item to me!" Xu Si said.
Su Su hesitated for a moment before taking the light gray silk ribbon. It felt slightly cool to the touch, and after infusing it with her extraordinary energy, she felt a surge of warmth.
In an instant, her aura seemed to be shrouded in an invisible mist, becoming blurred and indistinct, which also diminished the sense of presence she gave as she stood there.
The [Immortal Mist Threads] seemed to come alive in her hands; the threads made of mist could not only be hung directly on the walls of air-raid shelters, but also on the water vapor floating in the air.
Su Su can even stand directly in mid-air using this ability.
So this is how the properties of "fabric" are used?
"Good stuff." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Su's eyes.
She had even thought of several uses for this strange object.
Xu Si, however, thought of a certain guy who could only 'hehehe'.
"Thanks, everything that drops from the Strange is yours!" said Tashan from the side.
Tashan was actually a little embarrassed. He gave Xu Si a strange item yesterday, and today he accepted a rare item from Xu Si. Wasn't this obviously taking advantage of him?
However, seeing Xu Si's serious expression, he still took the pair of dark brown wristbands and put them on his arms.
The wristband automatically adjusted its size the moment it touched his skin, fitting him perfectly.
With a thought, his "Six Arms" ability was activated, and six new outlines of rock arms instantly condensed in the air on either side of his rocky arms. However, the ends of those outlines resembled octopus tentacles rather than primate hands.
No wonder I could only count to six!
"Hehe, this is really exciting!" Tashan tried to move all six arms at the same time. At first, he was a little flustered, but gradually he got the hang of it.
He tried to recreate the scene of petrifying the [Lou Mi] yesterday. If he had these six arms back then, he probably could have strangled that Lou Mi even more.
Even more remarkably, with the activation of the "Mimicry" and "Canopy" traits, the color of his rocky body subtly changed, becoming somewhat similar to the damp cement ground around him, and his aura became even more restrained.
"Thanks, Knife!" Tashan grinned, clasping his six arms together in a comical yet sincere manner.
Jiao Jiao, who was standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled. She then quickly straightened her face and coughed twice, pretending to be serious.
"Hey, Shan-ge, your new look... is quite unique." She blinked her big eyes, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
Tashan wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and awkwardly moved his six arms around, like an octopus that had just learned to control its new limbs. He accidentally slapped a cement pillar next to him with a dull thud, and dust fell down.
"This thing looks just like the real thing!" He sheepishly withdrew his extra arms, leaving only his original two. The dark brown wristbands became even less noticeable, almost blending into his skin.
"Chen Pei, is there anything you need?" After all, they were all his employees, and he couldn't show favoritism.
Looking at Chen Pei, who was silent beside him, Xu Si felt a little embarrassed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to prepare anything for Chen Pei; it was just that Chen Pei was too capable, and he didn't know what to prepare for him.
In the past two days, Xu Si noticed that Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu's emotions were somewhat flat, neither cold nor warm, as if they were machines whose emotions had been erased.
They only experience emotional fluctuations at specific times.
This may be a side effect of spending too much time in a rainy world.
Seeing Chen Pei shake his head, Xu Si had no choice but to give up!
He didn't have any suitable items among the remaining strange drops.
"Are we going to the government building again today?" Su Su asked directly, seemingly thinking of something, as she sat in the passenger seat.
"Well, Chen Pei said there are at least a dozen Level 3 monsters in another place, and even more Level 1 and 2 monsters. Let's pick on the weaker one!" Xu Si said.
He just wanted to earn some purification points, not to go and die.
His goal this time was simply to get rid of those weirdos from yesterday; he didn't ask for anything more.
Tashan was sitting in the back seat getting used to his extra arms when he suddenly started playing with a Coke bottle, tossing "colorful balls" with them. He seemed quite skilled at it.
The traces of yesterday's battle are still clearly visible.
One corner of the roof of the ZF building has completely collapsed, and the square in front of the building is in ruins.
Most of the damage was caused by Lou Mi and Ta Shan.
"They haven't arrived yet." Chen Pei's figure emerged from a puddle on the rooftop.
"It seems a bit later than yesterday." Tashan rubbed his hands together, full of enthusiasm.
"Hmm!" Chen Pei affirmed, indicating that the time did indeed seem to be a bit later than last night.
"They're here." Just as the group finished speaking, Chen Pei felt the vibrations emanating from the water vapor.
"How many?" Xu Si asked in a low voice, his scarlet star-like eyes gazing southeast.
Before the words were finished, a series of muffled, rhythmic footsteps, like the beating of drums, came from afar.
The ground began to tremble, and the raindrops were disrupted by an invisible force.
This time, the appearance of the building cluster was more "formal" than yesterday.
Leading the way was a giant "lou mi" with three heads and a shoulder height of over eighty meters, advancing in a triangular formation.
Their horns were even thicker and more ferocious, with shadows as thick as ink that flowed slowly with each step.
Behind these three colossal beasts followed more than twenty smaller Loumi, of varying levels, but even the weakest of them exuded a strange aura of level 2.
The entire herd of moose moved with a strict sense of order, no longer exhibiting the relatively relaxed feeding behavior of yesterday.
Clearly, the death of their leader and the surprise attack on Tashan yesterday afternoon have put this tribe on high alert.
The cluster of buildings came to a slow stop about 300 meters from the government building.
The three giant deer leading the way raised their long necks, their three pairs of empty, huge eyes, glowing with an earthy yellow light, piercing through the rain and locking onto the three "small dots" on the rooftop.
"What do you mean? Are you challenging us to a duel on the battlefield?"
Xu Si expressed his confusion.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Are these strange occurrences really so orderly?
This made them somewhat unaccustomed to it.
"I don't know, but didn't they take down one yesterday? Why are there still three leaders today?" Tashan was equally puzzled.
