Chapter 456: "Devouring Life and Death"
Leng Xin's voice completely subsided as the harsh sound of electric current filled his ears.
Xu Xueer's heart suddenly tightened, and she said carefully in her mind
"Sister Leng Xin?"
"Prototype Immortal Dao Mechanical Soldier—Leng Xin, awaiting your orders, Commander."
The cold mechanical sound rang in her ears, making Xu Xueer feel slightly dazed.
Back then, when Sister Leng Xin first transformed from a card into a real person, she also started with this...
Cold and rigid, like a heartless machine.
Or maybe she was originally a machine, but because of Xu Xueer's talent, she underwent a kind of sublimation, gradually becoming like a human...
"Huh~ Then... Sister Leng Xin, see you later..."
Xu Xueer murmured in a barely audible voice, then she raised her head and looked at the two faces looking at her worriedly, and said through the mask
“Don’t worry, Sister Leng Xin is with me now.
Let’s go explore this city, the sooner we finish exploring, the sooner we can return…”
As she spoke, the armor on Xu Xueer's body lit up slightly, and she jumped off the deck of the battleship and flew close to the ground towards the ruins of the city.
"Is this...really okay?"
Long Xinlu said with some concern.
Lin Ruier shook her head
"Instead of worrying here, it's better to catch up. Under this huge pressure, the speed of our exploration is severely restricted.
It might take half a day to explore this ever-expanding continent.
Let’s go…”
"…Um"
Long Xinlu nodded and pulled Lin Ruier to ride on the floating golden lotus and fly away.
They shuttled through the ruins of the city, and the scenery below made their faces look a little ugly.
Corpse…
There are corpses everywhere...
It even contains some monster corpses...
Except for a small number of corpses that looked like they had been dead for some time, most of them died in the same way, that is, their heads disappeared.
Judging from the blood still flowing, they seemed to have died not long ago.
"This... Is there some kind of monster that likes to eat brains hiding in this city?"
Long Xinlu's face turned pale as she rubbed against Lin Ruier.
Lin Ruier pressed her head helplessly. She was already in her thirties, but she was still acting like a child...
Xu Xueer was flying in front, and the armor's intelligence kept marking the scene below on the visor.
She looked at the large patches of dark red marked on the ground, and suddenly rose one meter to create distance between her and the ground.
Then he said to Long Xinlu and the others behind him in disbelief.
"Their heads... are on the ground..."
"Ah? Where?"
Long Xinlu was stunned. She glanced at the ground and saw nothing but the blood-stained ground.
Xu Xueer pointed to the ground and said
"The ground is full of..."
"... "
Long Xinlu looked at the dark red ground and reacted instantly.
He suddenly covered his mouth and nose and controlled the golden lotus to fly up two meters, and then a golden shield rose from the golden lotus.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief and then started cursing.
"Who's so perverted? Is he going to kill everyone in this city?!
Killing someone is not as good as rubbing your head on the ground. This is even better. Just rub your head evenly on the ground!"
As Long Xinlu was cursing, she suddenly felt her arm being pulled.
When I turned around, I saw Lin Ruier pointing upwards.
She looked up and saw the weak Bodhi mind, which looked like a light bulb that was about to go out.
After being stunned for a moment, Long Xinlu and Lin Ruier looked at each other and said strangely
"Could it be that…"
Lin Ruier nodded solemnly.
"It's very likely that the pressure emanating from the Bodhi Heart is the murderer.
Most of those corpses were ordinary people. It seemed natural that their brains would be overloaded and explode at such a close distance to the Bodhi Heart.
But this highlights another problem: this land, this city, and these people may have appeared out of thin air.
After all, ordinary people wouldn't be able to bear it even under the tree, let alone on top of it."
Long Xinlu pulled her hair in annoyance.
"This seems to have nothing to do with our quest to find the truth behind the mysterious changes!
Instead, it adds another unknown trouble!"
Lin Ruier also sighed and said helplessly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's keep exploring and see if there's anything different in other places.
We have waited for more than 10 years, so a little time is not a big deal.”
"All right…"
Long Xinlu nodded helplessly, and then the three of them continued exploring in one direction.
But the scene I saw was exactly the same. However, when I was getting closer to the city center, black snowflakes suddenly appeared in the sky.
Long Xinlu was a little surprised.
"Finally, something strange appeared. I thought this city was completely dead..."
Lin Ruier's expression also relaxed a little.
"It seems that there is something unusual happening in the city center. Let's go there quickly."
"Ok!"
They are not afraid of any problems, they are just afraid of no problems happening.
Now every unexpected situation may be the key to their access to the outside world.
"and many more!"
At this time, Xu Xueer suddenly called them.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Long Xinlu looked at Xu Xueer, who was floating not far away, in confusion. She seemed to be looking at the palm of her hand.
Xu Xueer looked at the snowflakes falling on the palm of her hand, and their ingredients were quickly marked on the mask.
"These snowflakes...are probably some kind of ashes...
and…"
Xu Xueer raised her hand to shake off the black snowflakes and looked at her palm again.
A slight dent appeared on the metal palm.
"This snowflake seems to contain some kind of power that can quickly decompose matter. Doesn't it look familiar to you? This power..."
"Really? What you said seems a little familiar..."
Long Xinlu's echoing voice was heard. Xu Xueer turned around with some confusion and saw that the golden shield around Long Xinlu and the others had expanded greatly, forming a golden sphere of nearly 5 meters.
Above this golden sphere, a golden transparent hand stretched out and scooped towards the sky. A large number of black snowflakes were forcibly sucked in and formed a ball floating above the palm.
Wisps of black mist were forcibly separated from it, but after the appearance of these black mists, the palm that condensed seemed to be somewhat unstable and kept flickering.
"Oh my god! The structure of the magical hand that condenses spiritual energy has been destroyed!"
Long Xinlu quickly threw the black mist in her hand towards the ruins beside her.
Suddenly, black substance floated out of the ruins in the black fog like smoke, and then dissipated bit by bit.
Lin Ruier looked at this scene and immediately recalled the scene of that year.
