Chapter 97 Something Hidden in the Darkness

"Be careful, it's alive!"

Although Xu Le's reminder was surprising, it was not without effect.

The first to bear the brunt were Zhou Jie, Bai Jing, and Gu Jianuo who were standing closest.

Bai Jing stopped Gu Jianuo behind him, and the moment the statue moved, Zhou Jie immediately drew his knife to meet him, and the sharp blade collided with the hard iron fist.

Boom!
Like a heavy bell, there was a fierce roar between the saber and fist.

Zhou Jie, who was almost killed by the statue before, burst into anger. He tried his best not to open the statue's arm, and with his backhand, he drew a dagger and stabbed the statue's eye socket.

Maybe his strength is not as good as the statue, but his skills are really crushing.

Ding!
The dagger accurately stabbed the eyeball, and the statue's body visibly leaned back.

Zhou Jie could feel that his attack just now had an effect, but when he looked at the statue again, he found that the statue's eyeballs had recovered.

"It is a strange awakening, with the ability of elementalization, this kind of physical damage, it can repair itself in a very short period of time."

Xu Le, who also mastered the ability of elementalization, naturally knew the outrageousness of this ability.

And he also felt this weird and outrageous.

Its ability is like being specially set by someone.

An iron statue that has mastered the awakening of the iron element, its strength, defense, and speed are abnormal, and it also has certain special attack effects.

Is this the pinnacle of Guyin's weirdness?

Can a level 3 warlock single out such a weirdness?

Xu Le subconsciously glanced at Gu Jianuo, well, maybe not, there is also a gap between warlocks.

But Xu Le also noticed something when observing the statue.

The original awakening ability - Immortality, actually disappeared at this time.

The other attributes and abilities of the statue are still there, but the ability of immortality has disappeared. Does it mean that it can be killed now?

The fist of the statue hit Zhou Jie again, Zhou Jie vomited blood and flew out, and several other fighters from Team 5 also rushed forward.

But in the face of such a weirdness, the warrior's ability is simply too weak.

Their attacks were too simple, and they couldn't hurt an iron statue that mastered the iron element. After resisting a few stabs, the statue instantly grabbed a level 3 warrior.

The warrior struggled in the statue's grip, but he couldn't break free.

"Akai!"

Zhou Jie exclaimed, and Bai Jing, who had been protecting Gu Jianuo, finally withdrew her hand.

She dashed forward, the machete in her hand glowing faintly.

When the statue ravaged Akai's body, Bai Jing chopped it off with a single knife.

Ding!
The saber was almost embedded in the statue's body, and the power of this saber almost cut off half of the statue's shoulder.

"It hurts?"

"It's useless." Bai Jing said to herself.

Yes, she has already felt that this level of attack is futile.

The physical defense of the statue is too strong.

It's fine if it's just defense, as long as there is continuous damage, there will always be a day when the statue will be smashed.

But the problem now is that it can be restored.

This makes this battle an unsolvable and meaningless state.

Click!

Level 3 martial artist Akai's neck was broken by the statue, and his body was still being ravaged by the statue, but there was nothing the others could do about it.

"Spell-Ice Cage."

The cold ice cage was trapped on the statue's body, and the statue's body froze instantly, even showing some signs of being frozen.

But the statue didn't care at all, it grabbed the void with its right hand, and then punched instantly.

The ripples in the state of water droplets appeared again.

"escape!"

boom!
This punch was like an air cannonball, leaving only corpse blood in its path, and the level 2 frost disaster warlock just fell away.

But after the punch, the statue didn't move.

It turned around slowly, allowing Bai Jing to slash behind it. Although these slashes left marks on it, there was no possibility of killing it at all.

The statue just walked silently, walked back to the center of the fountain pool and squatted down.

Be like the thinker you were before.

Team 5 lost two people, Zhou Jie was injured, and everyone's face was not very good.

They circled the statue, but no one tried to touch it at this point.

If the statue wakes up again, the people here may suffer again.

"Zhou team, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you."

Bai Jing walked over to apologize, but Zhou Jie just waved his hand indifferently.

"There is one less team in your team. You and I don't need to say anything about this kind of thing."

As a captain of the Night Watch, life and death have long been a common occurrence.

Especially for joint missions, the joint mission itself is a task that is difficult for a single team to solve, and casualties are inevitable.

"Get ready for cremation."

"Yes."

A group of people looked at the statue vigilantly, but the statue didn't seem to move anymore.

And others also discovered that the two actions of the statue seemed to start after someone approached the fountain pool.

Now that everyone has left the fountain pool, there should be no problem.

"What to do now?"

Zhou Jie's voice was a little deep, and his mental energy fluctuated, but as the captain, his mind was still stable enough.

Bai Jing shook her head slightly, she had no way of judging the current situation, she could only look at Xu Le.

"Xu Le, where did you get the information just now?"

"I read it in some very miscellaneous books."

It was a poor excuse, but no one pressed it.

Seeing that other people were looking forward to it, Xu Le continued:

And I feel that the statue in front of me is of the same origin as the light spider I encountered during the day, and their source of power is light.

When the light is present, they are very powerful, but when the light is not present, they enter another form. "

Bai Jing and Zhou Jie glanced at each other. Although Zhou Jie didn't know Xu Le's background, it seemed that Bai Jing trusted this kid very much.

"Is there any other information? If so, give it as much as you can."

Xu Le nodded, unless he released Little Sun, he would not be able to deal with the statue himself.

"The statue has two awakening abilities."

"two?"

"Yes, the first one is immortality. This state is only in the form of thinking when the statue is squatting in the pool, but as long as it acts, the state of immortality will disappear.

I don't know what the specific effect of this ability is. I guess it is difficult to be destroyed by external forces in the immortal state.

Of course, if there is that kind of absolute crushing power, it may be possible to shatter this immortality, but we don't have such power. "

immortal!

This information is very important to both captains. If the statue has immortality in its frozen state, it can only be resolved when it is active.

"Go on, what is the other ability?"

"Another ability is the low-level element-iron, which is iron itself, and has mastered elementalization, so it can repair itself all the time.

Your physical attacks are not ineffective, but are repaired by it. "

Everyone who heard this conclusion was taken aback. If this is the case, isn't it invincible?

I'm afraid none of the people present could kill the statue at once, right?

Bai Jing, who had been meditating all this time, had opened her eyes:
"According to Xu Le's information, we have a relatively safe way to kill the statue."

"What does Team White mean?"

"Explodes upon awakening."

Bai Jing's idea is also Xu Le's idea. The statue has immortality when it is unable to move.

Even a strong explosion cannot destroy it.

But if he is active and the immortality disappears, then the explosion is definitely effective.

As long as enough explosives are placed and the blasting distance is close enough, the statue's body can be completely destroyed in one go.

That way, it should be able to kill.

"Old Niu, prepare the explosives."

"Yes."

"Wait." Xu Le stopped Bai Jing again, and Bai Jing was not surprised, and asked directly:
"Xu Le has anything to add, just say it."

"Miss Gu Jianuo is an alchemist, she can create a more powerful explosive than the hybrid bomb we use.

This kind of bomb has a certain degree of adhesion and is small in size, which is very suitable for this blasting task. "

Hearing what Xu Le said, Bai Jing and Zhou Jie immediately looked at Gu Jianuo:

"Arnold, can you do it now?"

"Okay, no problem."

For things like blasting, the captains are much more experienced than Xu Le, a rookie.

After inquiring about how to use the Gujiano Alchemy Bomb III, they immediately dispatched two warriors to tie the statue with ropes and ground nails.

The rope is a very elastic fiber rope, which is certainly not expected to trap the statue.

The purpose is just to keep the statue from running around as much as possible during the period from the moment of awakening to the detonation of the bomb.

For example, a big jump rushes into the crowd, an explosion destroys the group, and the like.

When everyone was busy, Xu Le seemed to have nothing to do at this time.

He turned to look at the camp, and when he wanted to see the situation behind him, he found that Gu Beichen was missing.

"Captain, Gu Beichen is gone."

Bai Jing immediately turned her head to look at the camp. Gu Beichen, who had been guarding by the fire before, had really disappeared!

"Gu Beichen? Gu Beichen?"

Bai Jing yelled a few times, but there was no response.

Wang Shu also looked at the camp at this time, and seeing that Gu Beichen was not there, he punched the wall hard.

"This guy is really hopeless."

He, who has always been indifferent, now looks a little depressed.

boom!
At this moment, there was a loud bang in the darkness, and the sky was filled with flames, so raging that the flames almost lit up the sky.

Gu Beichen walked out of the flames slowly and appeared in front of everyone.

As he walked, he put on his Night's Watch coat.

"Stop shouting, I'm not dead."

"Where did you go, Gu Beichen? What happened to the explosion just now?" Bai Jing asked with a frown.

A person walked into the darkness like this, and in the middle of the night, no one could judge what happened.

"I went to the toilet, it should be okay to go to the toilet, right?"

"What about the explosion?"

"The explosion just now was just my venting when I was in a bad mood. The captain also knows that I lost my love."

Gu Beichen was very calm. If Wang Shu had this expression, no one would be surprised.

But Gu Beichen is like this, everyone thinks there is a problem.

Bai Jing took a look at him and found that there were some water spots on his trouser legs, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with other places.

To the restroom?Water stains on pants?Could it be peeing pants?

Although this was really Bai Jing's first thought, she still felt that something was wrong with Gu Beichen at this time.

"Leaving a location late at night without reporting is a dangerous practice in itself.

You are not a newcomer, you should understand this truth, right? "

"I know, I was in a bad mood just now, so I was a bit self-willed, and I won't do it in the future, Captain.

If the captain still doesn't believe me, he can ask Mr. Gan to come over and check if I'm contaminated. "

Gu Beichen spoke neither fast nor slow, calm and contented.

At this time, he actually seemed to be willing to behave in the world, which made people feel very weird.

Seeing Gu Beichen say this, Bai Jing actually asked Gan to come over to check his state of mental energy and pollution.

The result was good, which made Bai Jing slightly relieved.

"Forget it, take a good rest and get up before 5 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"clear."

Bai Jing glanced at Gu Beichen again, then left.

Wang Shu frowned and looked at Gu Beichen, trying to see something from his gaze.

"Beichen, are you okay?"

But Gu Beichen just said lightly:
"I'm fine, Xiaoshu, and I'll get better and better in the future. I'll go to the highest peak in the world, go to places that others can't go, and see the splendor of this world."

Gu Beichen's words made Wang Shu's heart tighten. Is this guy crazy?
He used to only say "I want to be the most beautiful cub in the lighthouse", why did he suddenly change his gender?

"Beichen, let's have a good chat after the mission is over."

"Well, I have the same idea."

Gu Beichen nodded to Wang Shu, then jumped over him and walked in front of Xu Le.

"Shun Liu died because of you."

Xu Le didn't reply, because Gu Beichen gave him a strange feeling. First of all, he said this sentence several times before. Is it necessary to repeat it like this?
Then in terms of anima, Gu Beichen's anima was almost cleared.

Under Gu Yin's multi-horizon observation, anima emotions are the most difficult thing to hide.

In such a short period of time, his heart energy was almost cleared, his anger was gone, and there was probably only a little sadness left.

What the hell happened to him?
What happened to the explosion just now?

"Do you really think so?"

Gu Beichen suddenly stretched out his middle finger towards Xu Le. The fingertips had turned into elemental frost and touched Xu Le.

"Fuck you star."

Xu Le looked at Gu Beichen, and nodded slowly. This nodding was repeated many times, and finally became a sentence.

"You are really stupid."

Looking at the two people who were at war, Wang Shu was a little helpless.

But right now Gu Beichen doesn't seem to have the intention of going on a rampage anymore, which is something to be thankful for.

"Okay, let's all rest."

Just as Wang Shu was about to rest, his body suddenly stopped.

Gu Beichen's actions just now, and his conversation with Xu Le...

He recalled the ten days when the three of them practiced together. During an in-depth chat, Gu Beichen made such an action once.

And there was a conversation between him and Xu Le at that time.

"Fuck you, idiot going to the city."

"You're from Uptown, too."

"I'm different from them."

"What's the difference?"

"I don't play tricks."

"It's not that you don't want to play, you are stupid, you can't play well."

"roll."

This conversation is an extension of the criticism of the class in the upper city. After all, people like them who earn hundreds of dollars a month like to discuss politics.

But the actions just now seemed a little special.

Wang Shu looked at Gu Beichen and Xu Le, who were already sleeping separately.

They are far away, and they look like they have never communicated with each other, let alone talked.

"Mr. Wang Shu, where do I sleep?" Gu Jianuo asked cautiously.

Wang Shu glanced at her, pondered for a while before speaking:
"Sleep next to me so I can protect you."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang Shu."

"You're welcome, everything should be done."

Watching Gu Jianuo fall asleep beside him, Wang Shu didn't sleep, he wiped his gun and knife silently, preparing for tomorrow's mission.

By the way... look at the person in front of you.

……

Xu Le was immersed in his own thoughts.

Gu Beichen was reminding him, very clearly.

Gu Jianuo has a problem.

There are too many things happening today, and the suddenness and compactness of everything is too strong.

In a critical moment, even if he is in the ethereal state, it is impossible to cover everything.

So there must be something he missed during the day, someone he missed.

First of all, there are Gujianuo's apples. Harmless apples will give people a mark.

What is the role of the mark Xu Le is not clear.

But he knew very well that such a move was definitely not meaningless.

Then there is the battle of the bright spiders.

The doubt at the beginning of that battle was Li Shunliu's mistake.

After this doubt happened, he and Wang Shu basically focused on Li Shunliu.

Thus ignoring some things.

guide.

The process of fighting is guided.

Gu Jianuo first discovered the bright spider with her sense of smell, and later she told herself that she could make a bomb that could kill a level 3 polluter.

She is channeling all the time.

Unknowingly, I moved towards the guided fighting style.

During this process, Gu Jianuo was the only one who was not injured.

The death of Li Shunliu, the assassin, meant that no one would test Gu Jianuo again.

If so!

Apart from other things, is there a possibility... Gu Jianuo knew that Li Shunliu was going to kill her, and Gu Jianuo gave her all those opportunities?

By the time the teams converged, all the aftermath of the battle had subsided.

The Thinker Statue no longer moves either, and its taint trait is Lightforge, the same as the Bright Spider.

And there is no sign of continuing to act now.

That being the case, why did the statue move when everyone checked it at 9 o'clock?
Because it was checked by Gujianuo.

Others couldn't move the immortal statue with a knife or an axe, but after Gu Jianuo touched the statue, the statue moved.

This is a huge doubt.

Xu Le couldn't even think of a reasonable explanation, and other people definitely felt this doubt.

If Gu Jianuo really had a problem, then what would be the reason why she did not hesitate to expose doubts and make the statue move?
There is only one answer.

Here's what she needs, what she needs to do.

She can't accept that too many members of the party die and give up the mission, so she needs to solve this statue.

"Uptown machinations?

So here comes the question, how did this idiot Gu Beichen find out? "
