Chapter 296: The Long Night Shadows of Misty Gusu
Chapter 296: The Long Night Shadows of Misty Gusu
The night was as dark as ink, covering the entire city of Gusu.
The fog was like the breath of a demon, slowly wandering through the streets.
At the top of the South Gate, two figures stood quietly, like watchmen in the night.
The snake demon girl is wearing a charming red dress, which perfectly outlines her graceful figure.
The long black hair cascading down like a waterfall adds a bit of charm.
She giggled, her voice lazily and expectantly: "My prey are finally here~"
Beside her stood a man who looked like an iron tower. He was wearing rough black armor.
The metal mask on his face concealed his features, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the fog.
He made a low sound, as if vibrating deep in his throat: "No, this energy fluctuation... is not the 'Phoenix' team."
Upon hearing this, the charm in the snake demon woman's eyes instantly dissipated a little, replaced by a hint of doubt: "Not a 'Phoenix'? How is it possible?"
"We've already spread so many baits, and we chose this time specifically. Could it be..."
The man's voice, as hard as steel, interrupted her: "The Phoenix team's movements are regular, and their energy fluctuations are abnormal. I can easily distinguish their aura."
"These are obviously ordinary God Slayers."
The snake demon girl's red lips pouted slightly, like a rose about to wither.
He exuded a sense of disappointment. "Tsk, all my excitement was for nothing. I thought I could have some fun with the elites of the Phoenix. Looks like I was overthinking it."
She shook her head somewhat unwillingly, her tone full of regret and frustration.
The man's eyes scanned the depths of the fog like a hawk. He whispered, "Wait and see."
There was a hint of calmness and determination in his voice, as if he had seen through everything.
"Since these little guys dare to come here, maybe they have something worth digging out."
“Perhaps, there will be unexpected gains.”
A hint of curiosity flashed across the snake demon girl's charming eyes. Her slender fingers gently stroked her rosy lips.
"Then... let's take a look at them again. I hope they can bring me some entertainment."
After saying this, she revealed her charming smile again, like a poisonous snake waiting for its prey to take the bait.
The night was as dark as ink, and the city of Gusu looked even more eerie under the cover of fog.
At the top of the South Gate, the iron tower-like man and the snake demon woman waited quietly.
The man's gaze was as sharp as an eagle, while the snake woman exuded an evil and seductive charm.
The towering man said in a deep voice, "Wait and see. Since these little guys dare to come here, they might have something worth digging out."
"Perhaps, there will be unexpected gains."
The snake demon woman flicked her red lips and smiled seductively: "Then... let's take a look. I hope they can bring me some fun."
At the same time, Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and An Yuqing walked silently on the streets of Gusu City.
An Yuqing took off his Tang Monk mask, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Finally, I'm back to normal human society. I really miss it."
Wu Hen patted An Yuqing on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Old An, your sigh is too literary. I almost thought you changed your career to become a poet."
An Yuqing smiled, but suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed, and he whispered, "There's something going on ahead, everyone be careful."
Wu Hen also revealed a devilish smile: "I'm here, just in time for me to stretch my muscles."
"System, has the mission been updated?"
The system's voice rang out in Wu Hen's mind: "Mission Update: Find and defeat the snake demon woman in the evil god camp. Reward: Mysterious Resource Pack x1."
Wu Hen's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Okay, let's do it!"
Lin Qiye and An Yuqing smiled at each other, and they quickly dispersed.
Disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only a series of light footsteps echoing in the night.
The three of them carefully walked through the foggy streets. The surrounding buildings appeared blurred in the mist, swaying like ghosts.
Suddenly, a group of dull-looking residents emerged from the darkness.
Their eyes were empty and they let out incoherent growls, like zombies.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Are these guys infected with the zombie virus?"
Wu Hen looked at the dense crowd in front of him and couldn't help but complain,
"System, is this also in your script? This style is wrong!"
The system lazily responded, "Friendly reminder, this is caused by mental pollution. Please don't panic, host, and maintain your charming demeanor."
Wu Hen's mouth twitched. This system is really enough.
He shrugged, put on the Monkey King mask, and chuckled, "Come on, let me show you what the iron fist of the Monkey King is!"
He moved like a ghost among the crowd.
Using fists and feet, each attack was accompanied by a strong wind, pushing back the polluted residents.
While playing, he also did not forget to tease: "Hey, hey, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll play with you guys. Don't take it too seriously, or I'm afraid you'll cry."
Seeing this, An Yuqing also shook his head, put on the Tang Monk mask, and waved the Zen stick in his hand. A golden light flashed, forcing the surrounding residents to retreat.
He was still muttering to himself, "Amitabha, good, good, all donors, please turn back to the right path as soon as possible."
Lin Qiye did not rush to take action. He observed the situation around him.
It was discovered that these contaminated residents did not seem to be aggressive and were just wandering around mechanically.
He frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
At this moment, Wu Hen suddenly stopped what he was doing and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
He looked at the familiar street in front of him and muttered to himself, "This seems to be near the Soochow University that Aunt Zhang brought me to before..."
He remembered that when he was a child, Aunt Zhang always urged him to get admitted to a university in Suzhou, saying that the scenery there was beautiful and the people were friendly.
But now, things have changed and Aunt Zhang is no longer alive.
And he came back here in this way.
"Damn, what a bummer."
Wu Hen curled his lips, his eyes turned red, and the playful smile in his eyes also subsided a lot.
He cursed softly, a hint of melancholy in his tone, "The good atmosphere of pretending to be cool has been ruined by this crappy memory."
"What's wrong?" An Yuqing seemed to notice that Wu Hen was in a bad mood. She walked to his side and asked with concern.
Wu Hen shook his head, pretending to be fine, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some sad things. After all, everyone will feel depressed for a few days."
"Speaking of which, I don't know what that fat guy Baili is doing right now. His tongue is probably making this group of people laugh right now."
An Yuqing smiled upon hearing this and said, "That guy is indeed a lively guy. With him around, the atmosphere always becomes lively."
Wu Hen's mood improved slightly after hearing this.
He flashed his signature devilish smile again. "That's right. Come on, Lao An, let's go check out that tall building. I sense a different aura over there."
"Yeah." An Yuqing nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the tall building in the southeast direction.
Lin Qiye looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, his brows slightly furrowed, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to follow, he suddenly felt a strong breath coming from the direction of the South Gate.
It swept over like a huge wave, instantly covering the entire Gusu City.
Lin Qiye's expression changed, his eyes filled with solemnity. He muttered to himself, "This aura... could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt the ground beneath his feet shake slightly.
Lin Qiye looked up in the direction of the South Gate and saw a black figure.
Appearing like a ghost on the top of the towering building, the figure was like an abyss, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
"It seems... the game has begun." Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and An Yuqing rushed all the way to the high-rise building in the southeast direction.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, a dense crowd suddenly appeared on the street ahead, blocking their way.
These residents had dull faces and empty eyes, exactly the same mentally polluted guys we had encountered before.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Are you kidding me? The road is wide open, so we should just go our separate ways, don't we?"
Wu Hen couldn't help but complain, "System, please give me a hint, how do I operate this wave?"
The system replied immediately: "A high-energy warning has been detected ahead. It is recommended that the host activate the 'Unparalleled Mowing' mode. Reward: A limited edition Iron Man armor set."
Wu Hen was immediately excited when he heard this: "Oh, that's great! This wave must be arranged!"
However, before Wu Hen could start the "unparalleled mowing" mode, a large number of contaminated residents poured out of the surrounding buildings and surrounded them.
"Hiss... This is a bit tricky!" An Yuqing frowned. "It seems the other party came prepared and is deliberately holding us back."
Wu Hen also realized the seriousness of the situation and put away his playful smile: "Old An, it seems we have to get serious."
"If this wave goes wrong, the Iron Man armor will be ruined!"
An Yuqing nodded: "Find a way to break out first, I'll cover you!"
The two stood back to back, looking around vigilantly.
More and more residents were affected by the pollution, pouring in like a tide, and the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.
At this moment, Wu Hen's system issued another prompt: "A high-energy reaction has been detected in the direction of the South Gate. It is recommended that the host go to provide support as soon as possible."
"The South Gate?"
Wu Hen was stunned, then looked at An Yuqing,
"Lao An, something seems to have happened at the South Gate. We have to go there quickly!"
An Yuqing's expression changed: "Qi Ye is still over there! We must rush over immediately!"
The two looked at each other, Wu Hen took a deep breath, put on the Monkey King mask,
With a devilish smile, he said, "Old An, are you ready? Let's rush out!"
An Yuqing nodded, put on the Tang Monk mask, and the Zen staff in his hand flashed with golden light: "Amitabha, this poor monk will save you evil demons and heretics!"
Wu Hen and An Yuqing both burst out with powerful auras at the same time, like two bombs, instantly blowing away the contaminated residents around them.
They transformed into two streams of light, broke through the crowd, and rushed towards the South Gate.
"coming……"
At the top of the South Gate, the snake demon girl licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and An Yuqing sped along the streets of Gusu City, heading towards the rooftops of tall buildings in the southeast direction.
Wu Hen's eyes sparkled with excitement. He laughed and said to An Yuqing, "This wave is worth it. The system actually gave me a 'unparalleled mowing' mode. Haha, watch me!"
After saying that, he threw a punch, and there seemed to be substantial vibrations in the air.
The contaminated residents around were blown away by this force.
An Yuqing saw this and quickly followed.
He held a Zen staff in his hand and chanted, "Amitabha, good, good, you evil demons, let me liberate you today!"
The Zen staff in his hand flashed with golden light, and every swing carried a strong momentum, forcing the surrounding residents to retreat.
Wu Hen and An Yuqing worked in perfect harmony and moved forward steadily.
However, at this moment, a black shadow flashed from the top of the tall building.
Wu Hen keenly captured this moment and immediately realized: the enemy's main force was just ahead!
"Old An, be careful! There is a master ahead, it might be a snake demon girl!" Wu Hen reminded loudly.
An Yuqing frowned upon hearing this. He nodded, his eyes filled with determination: "Understood! No matter what, we have to rush over!"
The two of them burst out with powerful aura again. Under Wu Hen's Monkey King mask, his eyes were bright and sharp.
He laughed and said, "System, fire at full power!"
The system immediately responded: "Mission Update: Defeat the Snake Lady. Reward: 1 Mysterious Resource Pack. Time limit: 30 minutes. Activate 'Unparalleled Mowing' mode. Additional reward: A limited edition Iron Man armor set."
Wu Hen laughed heartily, and suddenly a powerful airflow burst out from around his body. He was like a tiger with wings, his speed increased instantly, and he rushed forward like a flash of lightning.
An Yuqing was not willing to be left behind, and followed closely behind with his Zen staff shining with golden light.
The two finally arrived at the entrance of the tall building. Wu Hen took the lead and shouted, "Clear the way!"
His fist was like a giant axe that split the mountain, knocking away the polluted residents blocking his way and clearing the way.
Lin Qiye also arrived at this moment. He summoned a big knife and used the magic light to fly to the top of the tall building in an instant. His movements were swift and decisive.
Wu Hen and An Yuqing followed closely behind, and the three of them finally met on the rooftop.
An Yuqing looked at Lin Qiye's figure and envied him: "Qiye, your magic radiance is so cool, when can I be so handsome?"
Wu Hen patted An Yuqing on the shoulder and said teasingly, "Old An, you're not bad either. When you wave your Zen staff, it shines with golden light. You're just like the reincarnation of Tang Monk."
At this moment, the atmosphere on the rooftop suddenly became tense.
The snake demon woman and the iron tower-like man appeared before them.
The snake demon woman smiled seductively and said, "Welcome to my hunting ground. You uninvited guests, prepare to become my prey today."
Wu Hen smiled evilly, his eyes gleaming with a playful light: "Hey, snake demon girl, you make me feel embarrassed. I came here to slay demons and monsters, and I will not show mercy."
Lin Qiye tightly grasped the God-Slaying Sword in his hand, his eyes filled with the flames of battle: "Wu Hen, are you ready? We can't fail today!"
Wu Hen nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Of course, brother, today we will join forces and turn this place upside down!"
The towering man uttered a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense. None of you three will leave here alive today."
Wu Hen laughed loudly, clenched his fists, and said with great momentum: "Then let's see who will have the last laugh!"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Hen and Lin Qiye rushed towards the snake demon woman and the iron tower man at the same time, followed closely by An Yuqing. A fierce battle was about to break out.
The three of them quickly launched an offensive, pushing the atmosphere on the rooftop to a climax.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the snake demon woman's eyes, and she sneered:
"You guys really don't know how to live or die. Let me see what tricks you can come up with!"
At this moment, a powerful aura came again from the direction of the South Gate, sweeping across the entire Gusu City like a huge wave.
Wu Hen's eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "It seems that the real battle has just begun."
Doghead carefully analyzed the situation before him, and suddenly turned to Baili Pang'er under the Zhu Bajie mask and said, "Baili, how do you feel wearing this mask?"
Baili Pang'er muttered something in dissatisfaction, but did not continue to refute.
