Xu Shen was suddenly startled.

He hurriedly looked around and saw that the old man and the lady-like woman were staying where they were, with no trace of energy escaping from their bodies. It was obvious that the attack did not come from them.

Is it a curse from other darkness?

Xu Shen's face was solemn, and he was surrounded by his small and powerful abilities.

The scar on the wrist has not been reduced by the ability, but the pain from the previous split has disappeared.

At this time, Xu Shen saw blood emerging from his wrist, and it was Haijue who was helping to heal it.

But after the blood covered it, Hai Jue's voice was slightly surprised: "It cannot be cured. This does not seem to be a direct attack on your body, but some kind of curse or other special attack."

Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and Hai Jue couldn't treat it?

He stared at the scars on his wrists and suddenly frowned.

Shouldn't an injury result in bleeding? Why are there scars?

It was like a scab had solidified, but he didn't see any blood from the time he was injured until the scar appeared.

The variety of abilities made Xu Shen dare not be careless. His eyes showed a cold light and asked Hei Xue to check his surroundings.

Heixue agreed and separated from Xu Shen's body, turning into a ball of black hair and flying into the deep ruins like a hair ball.

This process fell into the eyes of Han Hu and others, making their faces become paler and they did not dare to move.

After a while, Heixue returned, blended into Xu Shen's shoulders, shook his head and said: "I didn't see any enemies, and there were no other two states nearby. This should be a super long-range attack, or even some kind of attack through a special medium.

"

"Can you detect the traces of the attack?" Xu Shen asked.

Kuroyuki shook his head, saying he couldn't.

The tauren also made a sound in Xu Shen's body, but he couldn't either.

Ling Lu and Hai Jue had no clue. Ling Lu tried to take action and used his purification ability to erase Xu Shen's scars. But surprisingly, the scar on Xu Shen's arm could not be healed by Ling Lu's ability.

Xu Shen was a little shocked. Ling Lu and Haijue were unable to do anything about this small scar.

Is this really a two-state attack?

If he were a king... I had just arrived in the Nightingale District. Was it the Night Rat King who had insight into him?

The Rat King had spied on him in the night before, and he should have understood his situation, but he sent Han Hu and others to encircle and suppress him. This arrangement was more of a test.

Test him, or deliberately let him reveal his whereabouts...

Could it be that the medium that attacked him was in these people?

Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced around at the corpses around him, but he did not move a hand. The ones who took action were Hei Xue and Haijue. If the damage was reflected through the bodies of these people as a medium, it should be reflected back to Hei Xue.

they.

"Let's go, get out of here first."

Xu Shen Shen couldn't figure out the reason. Even Haijue and the others couldn't figure out the attack method. This place was too dangerous.

if,

If this scar attack appeared on his neck, would he be... dead now?!

Thinking of this, Xu Shen felt a little scared.

This long-lost premonition of unknown death made him feel worse.

Han Hu did not speak to the three old men and could only obey Xu Shen's instructions.

Before leaving, Xu Shen asked Hei Xue to collect the Xu soldiers from these two-state corpses, and the corpses were handed over to Haijue for dissolution and absorption.

Covered in blood, corpses littered the ruins in the ruins. In the end, nothing was left, only the armor they wore, and all the skin, flesh, and bones were corroded by the blood and turned into nutrients.

After leaving Jade Manor, Xu Shen led the three of them to walk in the ruins, asking Han Hu to show the way to the intelligence point he mentioned.

On the way, Xu Shen kept paying attention to the scars on his arms, but saw that the scars did not continue to extend.

This made him feel a little relieved, but the existence of this unknown attack made him feel tense all the time. No one knew when the next attack would come.

Not long after.

Xu Shen, Han Hu and the other three came to an intelligence station.

Xu Shen first went to the intelligence station to confirm the news about Han Hu. In less than three minutes, the intelligence station was turned into ruins under the attack of four people. A two-state inside was surrounded and suppressed by four people and was easily killed.

Before killing him, the information extracted from the opponent's mouth confirmed that Han Hu's words were true.

The Night Rat King has indeed left the city.

This is a good opportunity to peek into the Night Rat King's camp.

Xu Shen immediately took Han Hu and others directly to the place mentioned by the other party.

The Night Rat King's lair is in a suburb of Nightingale District. In the deep ruins of a dozen nearby residential areas, the soil has been dug into caves, and the forces gathered by the Night Rat King are stationed inside.

They live in the second level of the Ruins Realm, occasionally traveling through reality to practice and train in the Ruins Realm.

With the help of Hei Xue, Xu Shen entered the deepest ruins. From here, he could easily see all the dynamics under the soil, as illusory as bubbles.

The caves are all filled with garrison troops and ruin-killers.

After Hei Xue's detection and Han Hu's introduction, it turned out that there were more than 80 two-state residents here.

This is already more than the total number of garrison troops in the two regions.

Xu Shen was a little surprised. After years of planning and revenge, the Night Rat King indeed had quite a few trump cards.

And I don’t know if there are two-state hoarding elsewhere.

"Are these two states getting support from the inner city?"

Xu Shen looked at Han Hu next to him, not forgetting that his surname was Han.

Han is one of the seven major families in the inner city.

Han Hu seemed to have guessed Xu Shen's thoughts, and quickly shook his head and said: "No, the big forces in the inner city have a treaty agreement, and they are not allowed to participate in the battles and politics of the inner city privately. Once discovered, there will be extremely serious punishment."

He said: "Although my surname is Han, I have nothing to do with the Han family in the inner city. It's just that my ancestors were from the Han family, but they were expelled long ago, and the expelled people will never return to their clan. This is the rule of the seven major families in the inner city...

…”

Xu Shen had heard of this rule. It seemed that the reason was that a descendant of an expelled clan member returned to the clan and later climbed to a very high position. Finally, he showed his fangs and took revenge, leading to the fall of a great clan.

Therefore, other races began to be afraid of this.

"Don't other small forces dare to intervene?" Xu Shen thought that behind the Baizhou Gang were the third-rate forces in the inner city, and the Baizhou Gang's behavior in the Sleepless Zone was obviously "interfering in politics."

"Small forces are short-sighted, and they must be unable to resist temptation." Han Hu said.

Xu Shen nodded. Among the two states in front of him, there must be guys from the inner city.

Otherwise, it would be a bit of a fantasy to cultivate so many two-states from the bottom city alone.

After all, this is under the nose of the queen ant, and it is almost impossible to cover it up for a long time.

"careful!"

Haijue suddenly sent a message.

Xu Shen's eyes narrowed and he looked suddenly.

Then I saw a two-state person suddenly stand up and look in the direction of Xu Shen.

The two-state young man's eyes were cold. Judging from the ruins where he was, he was just staring at the wall of the cave, but Xu Shen could feel that his eyes penetrated the rock wall and looked directly at him.

This...isn't it dimorphic?

The next moment, these two figures suddenly swayed, walked to a shadow somewhere in the cave, and then stepped out.

Arriving at the fourth level of the ruins.

"Who are you?"

The young man looked at Xu Shen coldly, glanced around, and seemed to have some impression of Han Hu next to Xu Shen, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Enemy?"

Han Hu was shocked and confused. Is this the king?

"Where is the Night Rat King?" Xu Shen asked.

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why don't you think I am the one?"

"Because I've seen him."

The young man squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Shen: "Are you the person next to the ant queen?"

"Are you from the inner city?" Xu Shen also asked, "The inner city is not allowed to interfere with the politics and economy of the lower city. Don't you understand?"

The young man sneered: "As long as no one knows, who knows whether to interfere or not?"

Sure enough, there are some who are bold... Xu Shen was not too surprised. There are people who support the rules, and there are people who break them.

"It seems that you were passing by and brought three traitors over here. Did you want to take advantage of his absence?" The young man looked at Xu Shen with interest, but his eyes glanced at Xu Shen's shoulders from time to time.

The black threads were floating, and he could feel that it was a hidden bird.
