Chapter 9 Show
The school bus swayed as it headed westward, out of Rain Alley City.
Lu Ran held the Xiaguang Knife in his arms, leaned his shoulder against the glass window, and quietly looked at the rain scene outside the car window.
"Lord Wu Ya!"
"Ah, I saw it." The students in the car chattered, making a lot of noise.
Lu Ran looked up and saw a huge sculpture appearing and disappearing in the misty rain.
God Witch Crow!
This is a beast god, with a pitch-black body and an appearance similar to that of a crow.
It stands on a huge stone pillar tens of meters high, with its head raised and singing, and its wings spread as if ready to fly.
The pair of giant wings spread out so much that they blocked out the sky and the sun, so majestic!
Wu Ya’s ranking is not high, he is just a seventh-level god, but Wu Ya’s believers are very popular.
Because the magic of the Wu Ya faction is mainly based on reconnaissance, harassment of the enemy, and illusion, no team will reject an excellent scout.
The weaknesses of the Wu Crow believers are also obvious, with insufficient output and serious imbalance in their subjects.
"We're finally here." Wu Shanshan reached out her small hand to the front seat and tugged at the red headscarf wrapped around Deng Yutang's head.
"What's wrong?" Deng Yutang turned his head and looked at the girl.
Wu Shanshan said, "When we enter the vicious dog village, you have to shout a few more times to boost our fighting spirit."
Deng Yutang laughed: "We haven't even entered the devil's cave yet, and you're scared?"
Wu Shanshan snorted and complained to herself: I am worried that someone will be scared and run away.
Lu Ran was able to advance ahead of everyone else because of his talent, but how he would perform in actual combat was another matter.
Lu Ran did face off against the devil-caged believer Kou Yingquan, but in Wu Shanshan's mind, Kou Yingquan was a human being after all, not an evil demon who took people's lives.
"Dip~dip~"
The school bus queue passed through layers of checkpoints and drove into a military camp. As the vehicles stopped, the students got off one after another.
Many students stood still, looking up at the huge statue of God.
Wherever the statue of a god is located, the area within a hundred miles is a military stronghold. On ordinary days, it is difficult for people to get a close look at the true appearance of the god.
"Number 91!"
"Number 95!"
"No. 98!" Voices rang out in the rain.
"They're calling us." Deng Yutang spotted a soldier and walked over immediately.
"I am your instructor for this training, Dou Zhiqiang." The male soldier looked solemnly at the four students who came to report, and continued:
"After entering the Vicious Dog Village, you have three hours of free movement.
Under normal circumstances, I will not interfere with any of your actions.
However, once I give an order, you must execute it unconditionally. If anyone violates it, the entire team will be repatriated immediately."
The group of four listened to the rules one by one, and after a few minutes, they were led into the building by Instructor Dou.
The group of students were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything new and interesting.
Lu Ran was very sure that the huge stone pillar in the center of the hall was the pillar on which Lord Wu Ya stood.
There are also spiral stairs built on the stone pillars, winding down to the underground.
Under the leadership of Instructor Dou, the team stepped onto the spiral staircase and headed down. As they went deeper underground, the divine power around them became increasingly strong.
"The main entrance to the devil's cave." Lu Ran held the handrail of the spiral staircase and leaned over to look down.
"So beautiful." Wu Shanshan poked her head in and murmured.
The pictures on the Internet are certainly not as good as seeing it with your own eyes!
Deep below, there was a huge door to another dimension.
It is as deep and beautiful as the vast starry sky, and also like an oval dark curtain spread flat on the ground.
Such a mysterious wonder is enough to make anyone dumbfounded.
The stone pillar under the feet of the god Wu Ya was inserted straight into the starry sky curtain.
Dou Zhiqiang ordered: "Everyone be quiet! Follow closely, those who are afraid of heights should close their eyes and hold onto the shoulders of the team members in front of you!"
Everyone was silent, not daring to say anything.
As several people stepped into the starry sky curtain step by step
"call!!"
The night wind suddenly blew, causing Lu Ran's clothes to flutter.
The scene around him suddenly changed, day turned into night, and deep underground became hundreds of meters high.
The four people stepped on the stairs and appeared in the night sky. Looking down along the stone pillar, they found that the real ground was a full hundred meters away.
Stand tall and see far.
In the dark night, Lu Ran looked down and saw a stone city!
Countless torches made the city glow red.
Outside the city, there are paths made up of torches, winding and twisting like fire dragons, stretching to the end of the night.
Looking down from the sky, Lu Ran could see several other brightly lit stone cities several kilometers away.
Mysterious, beautiful, magnificent.
There should be BGM here!
Lu Ran has already imagined the theme song of Game of Thrones~
The devil’s cave number is No. 386, the evil dog village!
"Keep moving forward and continue going down!" Dou Zhiqiang reminded the students and did not intend to let them stop to admire.
A hundred meters in height, converted into a building in human society, would have at least 30 floors.
"Puff puff~"
"Flutter, flutter, flutter!" As everyone was walking down the stairs, they happened to see a group of crows flying upwards along the stone pillars.
There are only the evil demon and evil dog tribe in the Evil Dog Village, which means that the crows are transformed from human soldiers.
I guess they should be returning to Earth and taking their shifts?
Lu Ran's face was full of envy as he looked up at the flock of crows flying freely.
Being able to fly is secondary. The key is that it looks so cool to transform into a crow!
Especially in Rain Alley City, it often rains.
Crows are a perfect match with images like gloomy skies and cold rainy nights!
After a long time, the group of four finally got down to the ground and set foot on the land of the Evil Dog Village.
"Follow closely, speed up!" The iron-faced instructor ordered loudly and led the four people straight to the west gate.
Lu Ran was full of admiration and looked around as he walked forward.
These stone houses, towers, city walls and other buildings were naturally built by human armies.
It is said that in the early 1980s, when human soldiers attacked this devil's cave, the casualties were extremely heavy!
It was a tragic history of blood and tears.
Finally, people built a shabby little stronghold in the sea of blood and mountains of corpses.
It is like a small boat drifting in the stormy waves, resisting the wave after wave of attacks from evil demons and vicious dogs.
And that small stronghold was the famous Evil Dog Village, which was also the magnificent stone city where Lu Ran was at this moment.
Decades have passed, the small village is no longer there, high walls have been built, but the name of "Vicious Dog Village" has continued.
"It's 10:03 now." Dou Zhiqiang led the team to the city gate, "In three hours, I will take you out of the Vicious Dog Village.
You can explore the city in relative safety.
If you want to go out of the city to hunt vicious dogs, you can search around the city walls or along the torch path. You are not allowed to leave the illuminated range.
Now you can move around on your own.”
As the words fell, Dou Zhiqiang felt a surge of energy.
"Plop~"
Under everyone's gaze, the instructor suddenly transformed into a crow and flew high.
Lu Ran became more and more envious.
Following the shadow of the black crow, he saw the twinkling stars in the night sky, which was extremely beautiful.
In the direction where everyone came from, there was a towering giant stone pillar that seemed to have poked a hole in the night sky a hundred meters away.
The picture is quite weird!
"Let's go out of town." Wu Shanshan suggested first.
The team's ranking points are gained by killing vicious dogs.
The instructor accompanying the team is the invigilator and will record the performance of several people.
"Let's go!" Deng Yutang was very excited and strode straight to the city gate.
"Deng Yutang, why don't you shout first?" Wu Shanshan followed.
Deng Yutang refused, saying, "There are other students around."
A person's spiritual will can certainly affect his combat effectiveness.
Everyone came from the modern city to this stone city in the night with flickering torches. Who wouldn't feel scared?
Not to mention there are vicious dogs roaming around in the village!
"You..." Wu Shanshan was anxious, but she didn't know how to say it directly, so she subconsciously glanced at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran showed no fear at all, and did not show any intention of backing down.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ran happened to look at the girl and couldn't help but feel confused. "No, nothing's wrong." Wu Shanshan shook her head repeatedly.
Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly, and she seemed to have noticed something as she was a thoughtful girl.
However, now is not the time to talk about this. She patted Lu Ran on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. Let's go far away. Time is running out."
"Oh." Lu Ran immediately quickened his pace.
Starting from the west city gate, more than twenty torch paths extended out, like fire snakes, crawling towards the endless wilderness and hills.
After observing for a moment, everyone chose a route that no one had ever walked on to avoid colliding with other teams of students.
As they walked, they could still hear bursts of dog barking in the night, which sounded very ferocious!
"Over there!" Deng Yutang picked up the Tianchen gun, "Is that it?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ruyi held the sword in one hand and let the other hand hang naturally. A trace of divine power appeared on his fingertips as he gently drew something.
Divine magic also has different qualities, just like the levels of divine power, and is divided into categories such as fog, stream, river, river, and sea.
Jiang Ruyi's magic, the Electric Confinement Talisman, is of the lowest grade, the mist grade. The rune cannot last for a long time and cannot be used to enchant weapons.
So, she could only paint as she went along.
Compared to Squad Leader Jiang, Squad Leader Wu's casting speed is much faster.
Wu Shanshan had taken off the hunting bow she was wearing across her body early on. She pinched the string with two fingers, and the moment she drew the bow, a water mist arrow was formed.
"Whoosh~"
Blue water arrows flew out and headed straight for the vicious dog exposed on the barren hill.
"Woof!" The vicious dog barked and quickly dodged.
Unexpectedly, it did not rush forward immediately, but kept yelling.
Jiang Ruyi's face was solemn: "It has teammates?"
The four of them looked around cautiously, and Lu Ran suddenly said, "That little dirt mound in the front left!"
Sure enough, another vicious dog showed up.
The evil dogs of the demon clan are completely black and look similar to the greyhound breed.
They can reach a shoulder height of more than 1.2 meters, with a thin body, thin head, thin legs and thin tail.
In short, everything is detailed!
"Here it comes!" Deng Yutang clenched the Tianchen Spear with both hands.
The location where everyone is located is equivalent to the vicinity of the human base camp.
These two vicious dogs were able to pass through the defensive walls and appear here. Naturally, they were released here on purpose by the soldiers as a training ground for the trainees.
Therefore, the two vicious dogs must be weak and should be noobs in the fog section just like the students.
It was this weakest evil demon that brought huge psychological shock to everyone!
The terrifying speed of the vicious dogs, their ferocious eyes, and the violent aura that came towards them.
No matter how many times you watch the video online, it is not as good as facing the evil spirit in person once!
"Ha!" Deng Yutang roared, no longer hiding anything.
Divine Law: Red Scarf Order!
In an instant, the four-member team became very motivated, and the desire to fight overcame the fear in their hearts and rushed straight to their minds.
"Don't move, both of you!" Jiang Ruyi swung her slender fingers forward, and a stream of electricity rushed forward.
The little lightning snake flew past the sides of Lu and Deng one after another. As it flew forward, an illusory jade plate appeared and disappeared, carrying lightning runes and piercing the evil dog.
"Wang!"
The vicious dog No. 1 that attacks from the front right is not only fast but also agile and quick.
It only turned back once to dodge the electric confinement talisman and the water mist arrow, and rushed straight towards Deng Yutang.
"The cries of weak creatures can also attract the greed of hunters."
Suddenly, a voice message entered Lu Ran's mind.
"Ha!" Deng Yutang roared again, injected his divine power into the Tianchen Spear, and stabbed it fiercely into the bloody mouth of the vicious dog.
However, this attack did not pierce the dog's mouth. Instead, the vicious dog used its sharp teeth to bite the tip of the gun tightly.
"Get up!" Deng Yutang took a step back, then suddenly raised the Tianchen Red Tassel Spear, intending to throw the vicious dog into the air.
This plan is quite clever.
The vicious dogs have no ability to fly, and once they are thrown high into the sky, they are like lambs to be slaughtered.
The dream was beautiful, but the vicious dog’s bite force was so amazing that he was not thrown away at all!
"Hold on!" Wu Shanshan shouted, having already drawn the bow and arrow, aiming at the vicious dog that was biting the tip of the gun.
"Swoosh~" the water mist arrow shot out again.
"Buzz!" The fighting instinct of the vicious dog clan is particularly amazing, and they obviously sensed the danger coming.
I saw it stepping towards the gun barrel with its front legs, then letting go, kicking its legs, turning its head and falling to the ground.
Lu Ran just became a decoration.
The vicious dog used the Tianchen gun as a pole and directly jumped over Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was stunned!
Damn, this thin dog!
Are you here to show off your skills?
The key point is that he showed off to me and went straight to the back row!
Nowadays, even dogs know to cut the back row?
"Oh no." Deng Yutang's face turned pale. The second vicious dog had already pounced on him. He was too busy to chase it.
Lu Ran immediately chased after him with a knife in hand, shouting:
"Mea~~~"
Divine Law: Voice of Compassion!
But the vicious dog that fell to the ground rapidly ignored Lu Ran. It dug its four legs into the ground and pounced on the two women.
Wu Shanshan and Jiang Ruyi stepped back and separated to the left and right.
Wu Shanshan retreated while shouting, "Hey, Lu Ran! Stop making trouble!"
To be honest, if the voice of compassion hadn't worked, Wu Shanshan would have already cursed.
How could such a ferocious and violent dog have any mercy?
If you bleat at it, it will only affect your teammates around you. How can it make the vicious dog stay for a moment?
“Not weak enough, not desperate enough.” The voice transmission was imprinted in Lu Ran’s mind again.
"Ah?" Lu Ran chased after him relentlessly. The vicious dog was also good at picking people and chose the most beautiful girl in the team.
However, when the vicious dog saw the electric flash at Jiang Ruyi's fingertips, it immediately and consciously dodged left and right, shaking its head and turning its body.
Move~
Move~~~
"Think about your state of mind when you were facing the Yan Paper Man on the altar."
"Think about the state of mind you have when you look around and don't see any gods showing up."
Lu Ran's brain was buzzing as the deep and majestic voice took him back to the first day of the sixth lunar month.
"Die!" At the front of the team, Deng Yutang was furious and stabbed the number two vicious dog frantically.
The team's formation was in chaos and his teammates were in danger. As a forward, he had to take full responsibility.
The team's tactics should be that Deng Yutang keeps the enemy out, while Lu Ran helps out from the side, providing a stable environment for Jiang and Wu to output damage.
But now, everything is messed up!
"Whoosh~ whoosh~"
Evil dog No. 1 was chasing Lady Jiang. Wu Shanshan, who was temporarily safe, quickly drew her bow and drew her arrow.
She managed to make the lowest quality divine technique, the Water Mist Arrow, feel like "rapid shooting".
The vicious dog was extremely agile, chasing and dodging at the same time, teaching several humans a good lesson.
Jiang Ruyi's face was stiff and he stepped back repeatedly, not daring to throw out the electric talisman in his hand easily.
Once you fail, it will take at least 3 to 5 seconds to draw another talisman.
But the electric talisman in his hand would not last long. If he didn't throw it away, it would dissipate.
Left, right, right.
Jiang Ruyi was indeed quite charming. In such a critical moment, she remained calm and tried to find the evasive pattern of the vicious dog.
"Mea~"
At this moment, a faint sound of sheep bleating was heard quietly.
In this chaotic battlefield, the teammates didn't hear anything at all, only two dogs with sensitive hearing noticed the wailing of the weak creatures!
Not only did the vicious dogs hear it, but they also turned their heads out of control and looked at the weak creatures.
The two pairs of dogs' eyes were full of greed, and saliva was flowing from their mouths.
How can a dog that is constantly shaking its head, twisting its body, and sprinting keep its balance when it turns its head sharply?
Jiang Ruyi's eyes narrowed and he threw out the electric confinement talisman immediately.
"Snapped!"
Lightning flashed everywhere and the jade talisman hit the dog's body.
Jiang Ruyi stopped and was about to rush forward with the sword when a figure had already crossed paths with the vicious dog.
"Bah!"
The Xiaguang Sword was infused with Lu Ran's divine power and attacked rapidly with a sound of breaking through the air.
The vicious dog was as tough as tofu and its head was cut off in an instant, cleanly and neatly!
At the same time, the battle on Deng Yutang's side also ended, but he was very puzzled: the battle situation was obviously intense, why did the vicious dog suddenly look away?
Deng Yutang looked behind him in confusion, only to see Wu Shanshan with her mouth open and Jiang Ruyi with a look of surprise, both looking in the same direction.
His heart suddenly tightened!
What's wrong, Brother Lu? Hope nothing happens to you?
Deng Yutang followed the two girls' line of sight and looked over quickly.
But he saw Lu Ran standing quietly from behind.
Under the flickering firelight, he held a glowing knife in his hand, with drops of blood constantly dripping from the edge of the blade.
Yeah, very handsome.
Thanks to the fourth Roman Lindenwan Emperor and Qingbaobao's baby for the tips and monthly tickets. Thank you so much!
I wish you a long life!
