Chapter 197 Shadow of Quancheng

It's like the princess fell into trouble overnight and the tiger fell into peace.

In his autistic state, Lou Feng lamented how helpless the outside world was, but Ji Jue felt that everything was wonderful.

After a round of greetings, I became familiar with everyone. By the way, through Ji Xue's introduction and recommendation, I won a lot of orders, and I finally got my first wave of customers.

With the example of Tongshan in front of us, after experiencing the success of Master Ji’s consecration, and then personally experiencing the equipment modified and maintained by Ji Jue, everyone naturally signed up enthusiastically.

These days, the chosen ones are either extremely poor or extremely rich. Those who work for the Security Bureau can get into a department and serve in the direct team of Tongshan, and none of them are poor.

It is difficult to get in and out, and under the premise of high review, high requirements and high standards, there will naturally be high benefits.

But no matter how rich we are, we are not rich guys like Tongshan who can use the entire Yacheng as a piggy bank. We should pay attention to the return when we spend money.

It’s not that the craftsmen from Sanbu can’t afford it, but Master Ji is more cost-effective!

It can be said to be of high quality and low price, and has a lot of life.

Ordinary alchemy works can be made with your own materials. If you bring your own blessings to seek production, the crafting fee will be directly discounted by 20%. Purchase the weapon fine maintenance package now, which also comes with car cleaning and a full set of maintenance services!

Compared with those craftsmen who have a Sima-like face and have to compare every penny during the whole process, Master Ji smiled the whole time and spoke like a brother and a sister, which directly maximized the emotional value.

I'm used to being the licking dog of noble goddesses, how have you ever seen Ji Jue's touching consideration and gentleness?

Brother, you are so tired of making money. There is no need to be so expensive. Why don’t you buy some cheaper consumables? Sister, you work so hard, don’t be impulsive. The money you save can also buy beautiful little skirts. In this way, I will give you another 20% off.



Even if the association has regulations on selling prices and standards, it doesn’t mean that Jijue can’t come with maintenance packages, gifts and trial kits!

"... Let's put it this way, have you seen the machine gun in my car behind me? The emblem of the Supreme Being is engraved, the structure is strengthened, and it supports all-weather operations, even in a sinister environment. It is still not compromised. Full mercury warheads, dual blessings of large groups and ruins

, now you only need to pay a bullet fee to support a free trial.

Brother Jiang Xuan, think about it, when the time comes to carry this thing to have a go at it with the gang of idiots from the Huaxie Cult, isn’t that just holding it in hand?"

"Really so proud?"

Jiang Xuan pinched his chin, his eyes were shining, and his honest face was full of expectations.

Until Tongshan, who was driving, sighed helplessly: "Let's stop the trade show, Ji Jue. You should calm down. If this continues, this guy will start selling membership cards."

"Do I need a membership card?"

Ji Jue's eyes lit up and he geared up: "You can have this. If you recharge now, you can get 10,000 for free! Recharge 200,000 for 30,000!

The first batch of customers can also receive limited edition modified phlogiston grenades as gifts..."

Amidst the laughter of others, Tongshan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, helpless.

But all joking aside, Ji Jue was not so anxious that he insisted on adding the stall to the team.

When doing business, things have to go smoothly. After making a joke, each person was given two magazines of alchemy bullets and a mercury grenade. They said they would try it out, but in fact it was just a meeting gift, and it was not expensive anyway.

thing.

The association has too many market regulations and restrictions. No matter how hard you work to make money during the apprenticeship stage, it will only be a small effort. If you really want to get rich quickly, you still have to obtain a craftsman's license.

In the white mist, as if there was no end to the journey, no one in the carriage was talking anymore. They were all taking the time to rest and recuperate, or to wait and see, looking for signs of abnormalities.

The task of the advance investigation team is to clear the predetermined area and prepare for the entry of large forces later.

This time, Tongshan and the others not only had to complete the planned area detection, but also delivered another batch of supplies to another permanent investigation team that went deep into Quan City.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so efficiency must be the priority in everything.

Long before this, the team had been working together for a long time, carried out many exploration missions, and cooperated closely.

The team leaders, Tong Shan and Ji Xue, are both from the Tianyuan first line. Ji Xue's brother Ji Liu is good at frontal combat in large groups, Xu Guan from the Ether line is for reconnaissance and assistance, and the largest Jiang Xuan is from the Huangxu group.

There is no shortage of control, output, tanking and support. If I insist on speaking, there is still a shortage of milk. However, during the last exploration, the vortex nanny in the team was accidentally contaminated, and it was impossible to enter the high concentration of evil in a short period of time.

Change the environment.

Now that Ji Jue and Lou Feng have joined the team, their logistical pressure has been greatly relieved. After learning about Ji Jue's situation from Tong Hua, Tongshan didn't think he would become a drag. As for Lou,

Feng, apart from other things, how powerful is the combat effectiveness of the Lou family's spiritual quality shaping and how versatile is it? How could he still not know?

But at this moment, when Ji Jue was sitting in the car and looking around, he was surprised to find——

Tongshan, the eighth level of the rebirth stage, Ji Liu and Jiang Xuan have been stuck at the sixth level of the transformation stage for quite some time, Ji Xue and Xu Guan are also at the fifth level of the transformation stage...

And Ji Jue, an ember of the Inspiration Stage who had just entered the third level, was mixed in among them, standing out like a chicken among the others, so conspicuous.

"It's broken. Could it be that I am the worst in the entire team?"

Ji Jue was shocked and subconsciously looked to his side, trying to find some emotional value from Mr. Lou. But Lou Feng noticed his gaze, was stunned for a moment, and then got angry: "What are you looking at?!"

As he spoke, the collected spiritual essence was revealed for a moment, and the complex and rigorous matrix breath of the four blessings disappeared in a flash.

Fourth level, transformation!

After being beaten last time, Mr. Lou worked hard after returning and finally broke through the inspiration period not long ago, advanced and transformed, and he was different from before.

In terms of training, he crushed Ji Jue and completely overtook him!

"Humph!" Lou Feng snorted coldly, showing the contempt of a strong man.

Damn it?

Ji Jue was stunned. He felt as if Mr. Lou had just made a big move in front of his eyes: Damn it, the worst person in the team is really me!

Oh, it doesn't matter, at least I can beat the old building!

Ji Jue quickly regained his composure and patted Lou Feng's shoulder calmly, with a warm and doting smile that made the veins on Lou Feng's forehead twitch.

I can't bear it anymore, I'm going to break up with you!

But in the midst of the glare, for some unknown reason, his eyes suddenly fell into a trance.

It's like an illusion.

Ji Jue, who was also wearing protective clothing, had a vague phantom on his body, like some kind of thin and strange white clothes.

But soon, the illusion quickly disappeared.

He blinked hard, looked over, and saw Ji Jue's puzzled gaze. His eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything in the end.

And in the blind corner that he couldn't see, Ji Jue's palm was already on his lower back, and he was holding it down. The Mercy Bone Knife in the sheath vibrated and chirped silently, as if he had returned to a familiar place.

environment, can’t wait.

The white fog outside the window instantly dissipated without a trace.

Instead, there was a ruined city without any color or light under the dark sky.

Even the midday sun could hardly break through the thick layer of clouds. Only a faint ray of light shone down, barely illuminating the outline of the ruins. Instead, the dark corners between the ruins became increasingly dark and gloomy.

In the dark clouds shrouded like an iron curtain, a dazzling electric light suddenly flashed and flew through the air, but no thunder or loud noise could be heard.

In the flashing electric light, the outline of the city seemed to be changing faintly, and it was different from just now.

And when Ji Jue lay in front of the window and tried to turn around, he could only see the calf and horse following behind, connected by two traction ropes, and could no longer see the thick layers of white mist on the road.

When he was walking through the white mist, he still felt a little depressed, but now after leaving the white mist, he began to miss that layer of protection again.

"Officially entering Quan City, everyone cheers up and prepares."

Tongshan raised his head, and his original warm expression was replaced by seriousness, "Ji Liu gets in the car, Ji Xue gets ready, Jiang Xuan takes a rest first, and takes care of the craftsmen.

Xu Guan, from now on, keep overlapping observations with me, and report any situation at any time.

Under no circumstances are you allowed to leave the team, even if you go to the toilet, you must stay in the car, do you understand?"

The response was uniform.

Under his order, the atmosphere in the team suddenly became cold, and even Ji Xue did not dare to laugh anymore.

Ji Jue felt invisible waves spreading from the driver's seat. Then, the surrounding light dimmed. The outlines of the two vehicles driving on the ruined street were suddenly blurred in the waves. If there were any,

If nothing, he blended into the gloomy city.

Even the sound of the engine disappeared.

Ji Jue raised his head curiously and looked at Tongshan. The others seemed to have been used to it and were not surprised, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Lou Feng didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after he realized that the disguise effect was not caused by some kind of mirror-type blessing, his expression couldn't help but change slightly.

At this moment, they were all enveloped by Tongshan's telepathic power. Not only the vehicles in front and behind, but also all movements within a kilometer in front and behind were covered by invisible waves.

If it were just simple refraction, it would be more troublesome, but for Tianyuan, who was good at interfering with all intangible things, he could achieve similar effects as long as he practiced diligently.

But while camouflaging like a chameleon at any time during the journey, it also had to perform negative wave cancellation to directly cancel all the engine noise, and even the dust raised was fixed to the ground. This amount of operation was too much.

Even though telekinesis, which is said to be the most versatile and omnipotent of all abilities, can be micro-managed to such an outrageous degree while underestimating it, it is really too sensational.

The same Tianyuan, the same Matrix Wanyu, the woman Ji Jue met in the time ruins was directly knocked down by a ghost fetus, but even if she is of the same rank, I am afraid that Ji Jue will not even have the chance to make a move in front of Tongshan

I can't find it. No, just the thought of comparing these two people together is probably looking down on Tongshan.

"Awesome." Ji Jue gestured with his thumb without hesitation.

Tongshan just nodded: "If you have any needs or opinions, you can tell me at any time, but within Quan City, for the sake of the mission and everyone's safety, I hope you can obey the orders and rules. Otherwise, for the sake of the mission, I

I can only send you out."

"Don't worry, even if you are joking, it won't be disrespectful to the occasion." Ji Jue nodded without thinking, "You are the boss, you can speak. If you need anything, just give me direct instructions."

Beside him, Lou Feng also nodded.

Seeing that the two of them were on the right track, Tong Shan nodded slightly. It was worth his while to show off his skills just now - it couldn't be called showing off or intimidating. There can only be one voice in a team, and it would lead to chaos. As the captain, he must be responsible for everyone.

Lou Feng was relieved, mainly because of Ji Jue... There were too many outrageous operations in Tong Hua's description.

To be honest, he was a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold it back.

After emphasizing many precautions and seeing the two of them familiar with the road, Tongshan suddenly understood: "You two should have experience in exploring the world before, right?"

Lou Feng: "..."

Ji Jue: "..."

Silence, sudden.

In the embarrassment, Ji Jue glanced at Young Master Lou next to him without leaving any trace. Lou Feng's expression twitched. After glaring at this guy, he finally managed to squeeze out a voice from between his teeth: "

some."

"...all?"

Tongshan didn't understand why the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"Well, cough, cough, yes." Ji Jue turned his head away, tried hard to control his expression, and forced down the curve of the corners of his mouth, with a solemn look on his face: "The two of us, um, cooperate, we have a tacit understanding, uh, right?

"

Is it you!!!

Lou Feng's teeth were almost broken.

"Shh-"

Xu Guan, who was sitting quietly with his eyes lowered, suddenly raised his head and signaled everyone to be silent. He didn't know what he saw. The two cars instantly turned off and pulled over. Under the cover and concealment of layers of telekinesis, they merged into the decadent streets.

.

After Tongshan waved his hand, everyone seemed to be petrified and sat in the car, motionless.

Everything outside the window is in decay, broken bricks and tiles, without any change.

Ji Jue and Lou Feng exchanged glances, but were still confused. Until Tongshan suddenly raised his hand and clenched it with his right hand.

Everyone in the carriage felt tense mentally and physically.

Then, Ji Jue heard a sparse sound, like the gentle sound of rain falling on the ground, dense and soft, coming slowly from a distance.

What he saw were shadows surging like tides in the darkness.

I can't see my body, and I can't feel any fluctuations in my spiritual quality.

The shadow that seemed to be like a living thing slowly passed through the ruins, and the shadow like mercury fell on the ground, covering everything in its path, and the sound of cracking was endless.

In the telescope, Ji Jue saw a squirming insect that seemed to crawl out of the sewer. Before he could react, it was swallowed up by the shadow.

After a small cracking sound, it turned into flying ash.

Lou Feng didn't know what he saw. He was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

After noticing the curious look on Ji Jue's face next to him, his expression suddenly changed, as if I don't feel well and you don't want to feel better either, so he reached out and held his shoulder.

On the index finger, a diamond-like blessing relic flashed with phantom light, blessing it silently.

Then, it was Ji Jue's turn to break out in cold sweat.

On top of the writhing and changing shadows, vague outlines appeared vaguely, which seemed to be legs.

When the shadow squirmed, the twisted legs limped forward.

Sometimes, in the moment of staggering, a complete outline will gradually emerge, like a half-rotted corpse of a giant beast, with a jagged skeleton, and vague organs dragging under the broken abdomen, rotten and swollen...

The huge body like a building passed through the ruins with ease, without any obstruction, just like a phantom. Only the sticky shadow spread from the feet, hungrily devouring any life that touched it.

On the vague body, there are parasite-like tentacles protruding out, squirming in the air, sniffing carefully, looking for the breath of all living things.

The head, half of which was exposed and skeletal, screamed silently.

At this moment, as if he noticed something, he suddenly turned back and looked directly at the advance team shrouded in illusion.

His eyes were ferocious.

Immediately, he seemed to be stunned again.

Shadows swept past like a tide, but nothing was touched.

Just like a hand that reaches into a snack jar, it gropes repeatedly and carefully picks at every corner, but in the end, it is found that it is all in vain.

Here, there is nothing.

After a long time, the shadow finally shrank again, moving away from the hungry beast into the distance.

Disappeared.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Xu nodded and everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

The two cars hovering in mid-air slowly landed on the ground.

Didn't stir up any dust.

"Hurry up and hurry up. As long as that guy sweeps by, there shouldn't be any trouble on the road for a while." Tongshan started the vehicle, sped up, and sped out among the ruins.

"What is that?" Ji Jue finally couldn't help but poke his head and asked the front row: "Disaster beast? Abnormal body? What kind of evil thing breeds locally?"

"I don't know. After all, I haven't touched it before."

Ji Xue replied: "Although that guy is a bit bigger, he is still easy to fool. As long as I can't find you in the place covered by the shadow, I can't do anything to you. It's not too troublesome. Just stay away and walk away. It'll be fine."

Son."

"Are there many such things in Quancheng?"

"After so many explorations, there are probably eight or nine different types, big and small, right?"

Ji Xue herself is not sure: "Sometimes they appear inexplicably and then disappear inexplicably, and there is no time to classify or observe them.

The team on the Ship City side encountered something even more troublesome. It was as big as an entire city block, and its shape was invisible. It was just a thick fog. People who entered it were dissolved unconsciously, and they died without knowing how.

It is said that there may be ghosts that escaped from under the whirlpool, which cost a lot of people, and the director was dispatched before they were driven away. In contrast, there is not that much trouble in the area we explored, thank God."

"Stop planting the flag."

Her brother reached out from outside the sunroof and knocked her on the head: "There are still many tricky things. Master Ji, please be careful. Don't get out of the car unless necessary.

There is an extremely dense area ahead, so be careful."

During the silent gallop, for a moment, Ji Jue's eyes seemed to light up. The afternoon sun was bright, illuminating the storefronts and signboards on both sides of the street.

Busy with traffic, crowded with people, noisy and prosperous.

The years are quiet and peaceful.

Under the strong sunlight, the smiles on the faces of the pedestrians were so bright. They turned around and looked at the group of people outside, looked at Ji Jue, and waved to call.

But then, everything quickly disappeared without a trace.

Like a bubble that doesn't exist.

There was only a gloomy darkness crawling silently between the ruins, and no living creatures could be seen.

The old wind blew from afar and lifted the broken curtain on the doorway.

In the darkness behind the curtain, a vague face looked up with an exaggerated smile, looking at them, waving, arms dancing lightly as if they had no bones.

Warm call.

Auditory hallucinations emerge from every ear.

"Quancheng snacks, exquisite simple meals, trucks with added water...Quancheng snacks...simple meals...meals...meals...I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry...Come in and sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down

Come and sit down..."

The vehicle sped along without stopping, and even accelerated the accelerator.

But every time I turned a corner, I passed by the same dilapidated doorway.

The vague voice was still chasing after her, as if it was close behind him, getting closer and closer. Every time Ji Jue looked at the rear mirror, he could see that face.

Smile warmly.

But in his eyes, there was only darkness and nothingness, looking at him.

At the end, the speeding vehicle suddenly braked.

The deep and dilapidated doorway has appeared directly in front, and the face behind the door curtain is getting closer and closer, with an exaggerated smile pressed against the car window: "I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, come in and sit down, as long as

Just eat something and you’ll be fine, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat…just eat something and you’ll be fine, okay, okay, okay, okay…”

At that moment, his empty eyes looked at Ji Jue, and his smile became more and more twisted:

"How about eating together?"
