No one knows more about time travel than me!

Chapter 60 Unpredictable
"He is...my husband-in-law."

When the sentry guards heard this, their hearts thumped.

Not simply because of compassion, but more because of fear.

The captain's expression changed suddenly, and he hurried forward to ask, "Where did your husband get the evil spirit?"

The woman was shivering, even though her expression was a little numb, the tears still rolled down her eyes uncontrollably.

She covered her head, kept trembling, and paused every word: "No, I don't know, I don't know, he, he just, just..."

"Calm down."

"So, I ask, you answer."

While comforting the woman, the captain asked, "Has your husband left Lin'an City recently?"

The woman shook her head: "No, no."

"Among the people he has been in contact with recently, have any of them been to the southern border or the barren mountains?"

"No, no."

"Then did you encounter any weird phenomena on the road just now?"

The woman suddenly raised her head, her arms tremblingly pointing in a certain direction.

There is a stone pier next to the archway of Changjie, less than half a meter high, with a wide and rough surface, and there are faint traces of corrosion on it.

Ning Luo frowned, because he remembered that this was the place where he threw the pancakes.

However, after a while, the cooking cake disappeared.

The captain drew his knife ahead of time, and cautiously approached the stone pier.

It is worth mentioning that the weapons used by the guards are all similar to Miao Dao.

Miao Dao is not isolated from ethnic minorities.

Miao is the seedling of Hemiao, which means slender, and its blade can reach about 1.5 meters. It is a long knife held in both hands.

According to the history in Ning Luo's memory, the origin of the Miao Dao should be the Tang Dynasty, when Dao of the sword was at its peak.

Later, Dongyang imitated Tang Dao and developed its own samurai sword system, and then used it to harass Ming Dynasty many years later.

At that time, Daming was no match for the Japanese sword technique, so he planned to follow suit, but the length of the samurai sword was not suitable for the physique of his own soldiers.

And because most of the two-handed sword skills were lost in the Song Dynasty, in order to fight against the Japanese swords, the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty combined part of the sword skills on the basis of Tang sword skills and their own spear skills, and finally created the slender Miao knife.

In the world of dust, compared with the spirit sword, the Miao knife is more suitable for low-level monks and physical practitioners.

Because the Miao Dao is more driven by physical strength, and can also stab out like a spear, it is also favored by high-level monks in the army.

More importantly, the slender blade of Miao Dao is suitable for chopping monsters.

Facing such a difficult monster like Hui, if the realm is not enough, it is especially dangerous to get close with short weapons.

Once it is polluted by the Kuroshio during the fight, there is no time to deal with it.

As for weapons such as crossbows and spears, although they can be attacked in a safe position, it is difficult for this kind of attack focused on the "point" to cause effective damage to the "filthy" that can heal itself.

But Miao Dao is different.

The length of the seedling knife can easily cut off the limbs of "Foul", thus weakening "Foul"'s ability to move, while ensuring that he is at a safe distance.

In other words, the Miao Dao was originally a weapon suitable for killing monsters.

The captain of the sentinel gripped his long knife and walked carefully towards the stone pier.

There are traces of corrosion on the stone pier, probably because the spirit on its surface was swallowed by the Kuroshio.

The Kuroshio has a tendency to prey on all things that have aura or other nutrients, and although this stone pier is an ordinary thing, it has been soaked in the aura of heaven and earth for so many years, so it can also attract the Kuroshio.

The traces of corrosion ran down the stone pier and extended to the center of the archway.

The coverage of the purple-black block is getting bigger and bigger, until it stops at the center of the archway, it is already the size of a fist.

This size is enough to be observed by passing pedestrians, and it is also enough to erode monks who have not yet broken through without others noticing.

The captain recalled the scene at that time in his mind.

The woman's husband was probably a monk who hadn't broken through yet. He walked to the center of the archway, but he failed to notice the fist-sized mass of Kuroshio, so he was haunted by evil spirits.

He tried to struggle, but he couldn't get rid of his low level of cultivation, and none of the passers-by around him could lend a helping hand.

As a result, the Kuroshio spread, and he began to deform.

His wife panicked and went to someone for help, but before she came back, the Kuroshio had twisted the man's will.

Then he was completely reduced to "dirty", and suddenly started hunting!

The crowd screamed and fled in all directions, which also attracted the attention of Ning Luo and Zhao Si.

When Ning Luo and Zhao Si came to the scene, someone had already been murdered.But fortunately, the two were proficient in swordsmanship, quickly dealt with the monster, and then waited until the assembly of the sentinel team.

Everything backtracks.

However, the captain squatted halfway in the center of the archway, his brows still frowning.

Because he still doesn't know where the source of the Kuroshio is.

It can't be that a drop of Kuroshio appeared on the stone pier out of thin air, right?

The captain looked up at the restaurant beside him, thinking that the source of the disaster could be on top of the tall building?
However, Ning Luo suddenly realized something.

"The cooking cake disappeared..."

"But the corrosion marks on the stone piers are not so large."

Ning Luo's eyes moved from the stone pier to the archway, he knew that the black tide gradually became larger along with the path, but the cooking cake had already disappeared before then.

So... maybe it's the Kuroshio tide left by the people who picked up the cakes?
Ning Luo followed the traces of corrosion and looked at the three-foot narrow alley.

However, at this moment, he saw two scarlet light spots!
"!!!"

"Captain be careful!"

Ning Luo let out a roar, and the captain almost instinctively raised his long knife immediately!

In an instant, a black shadow came from the dark narrow alley!

The pitch-black sharp claws were raised high, covering the early morning sky, and suddenly fell towards the captain who hadn't got up yet!
clang!
The long knife was raised horizontally, the sharp claws rubbed against the blade, and sparks flew everywhere!

The captain took advantage of the momentum and sat down, kicking his legs violently!
The monster was kicked several steps away, and he also used the recoil to stand up and regain his posture.

Everything happened in an instant, and even most of the guards just shook their bodies, and the captain and the monster were already separated.

Only now did the guards notice the filth beside the narrow alley.

It landed on all fours, and could only vaguely recognize the appearance of a person.

However, the criss-crossed and dense fangs in the cleft jaw, as well as the broken bone claws growing from the skin all over the body, undoubtedly proved that it was already inhuman!

A group of sentry guards finally reacted and immediately drew out their long knives.

"Captain, you didn't...captain! You!"

It was only then that everyone saw that there were still three hideous bloodstains on the captain's chest, which were faintly filled with a purple-black substance!

Even though he parried the claw attack horizontally, after the friction, Yu Wei still hurt his body.

"Captain protection! Formation!"

The guards reacted very quickly, and immediately surrounded the monster with their knives.

But the captain drew back and flew back, immediately took out the torch, and the swaying fire light burned across his wound.

"Well!!!"

The captain gritted his teeth, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his expression was particularly ferocious.

It wasn't until the purple-black substance was mixed with blood foam and turned into ashes, and the scabs fell off, that the captain finally put away the fire fold.

Erosion stopped.

"Huh, ha, ha, ha..."

The captain leaned on the ground with his long knife, gasping for breath as if he had almost drowned.

Fortunately, a false alarm.

But the crisis is far from over.

After the captain recovered his breath, he saw that the sentry guards were carefully restraining the monster, so he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! This filth might have preyed on ferocious wolves, it's a wolf filth!"

Wolf filth is not a scientific name, but a simple classification made by ordinary people based on the appearance of filth.

When seeing this filthy appearance, the guards could already guess its experience.

Most likely, it was carried by someone and scattered on the barren hills, and then preyed on fierce wolves, and then possessed the characteristics of wolves.

When a refugee passes by, it parasitizes on the refugee, thus combining man and wolf into one.

But what was synthesized was neither the so-called Yaozu, nor Fu Rui or Beast Ear Girl, but such a strange and nondescript thing.

The sharp claws all over the body seem to be a poor armor, and the two rows of staggered and chaotic fangs obviously cannot be chewed, and can only be used for savage biting.

Its existence is like the scribbles of ignorant children.

Although it can barely be called a creature, the design theme of each part has nothing to do with biology.

Weird, bizarre, creepy...

The degree of nausea was even worse than the one that Ning Luo had beheaded before.

When the guards heard this name, they immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy!

Because no matter how weak the target of erosion is, Lang Fei still has the power comparable to a monk in the first realm.

Moreover, it is as fierce and fearless as a beast, ferocious and violent, and has a strong self-healing ability, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
So they blow the whistle immediately!

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep—"

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep—"

Three short and one long, the standard distress signal, the monks in the city will naturally come to help when they hear the horn.

But now the sentinels must hold back the wolf to prevent the black tide from spreading.

When the wolf heard the whistle, it seemed to be stimulated by something. Its sharp claws were a little longer, and its posture suddenly became much more violent!

Ning Luo's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't know the meaning of the whistle, he could roughly guess it.

He gripped the long knife tightly and stood ready.

However, Lang Fei's sight gradually turned away, and then he fixed on him!
"Ok?"

Ning Luo was stunned, his expression slightly confused.

No, there are so many people around you, what are you doing just looking at me?
Before Ning Luo could figure out the reason, the wolf's four legs suddenly exerted force, and rushed towards him!

Ning Luo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately set up the long knife!

Keng!
When the sharp claws touched the long knife, there was a sound like gold and iron clashing.

And Ning Luo took advantage of this friction to take half a step back with his left foot, then turned around instantly, and at the same time retreated, he swung his saber!

Sen Han's knife light swept across the sky, drawing a clear circular arc, and then shattered the fangs growing on the wolf's forelimb, and yanked off one of its arms!

The purple-black stained blood splashed on the stone turning road, and its trajectory was like a waning moon.

The guards took a few steps back in shock, even the experienced captain was a little bit tongue-tied.

This smooth and coherent counterattack and artistic knife handling skills made even him feel ashamed.

In the game, this is probably the so-called "rebound".

But for Ning Luo, this is nothing more than a hundred years of hard work.

Lang Hui broke his arm, but Ning Luo's offensive did not stop.

He has never touched Miao Dao, but he knows that Miao Dao's saber technique is a combination of two-handed saber skill and long spear skill.

So Ning Luo's footsteps were slightly wrong, and he suddenly raised the knife and slashed diagonally, then turned and slashed vertically!
Lifting the knife obliquely is to force the wolf back and create opportunities for turning around.

There are also a few turning skills in spearmanship, because such long weapons have a longer torque, so this inertial acceleration technique can be used with less effort.

Compared with the spear technique that is good at piercing, the knife technique itself is more suitable for chopping, so there will be many turning movements in the Miao knife technique.

Although Ning Luo has never learned the Miao Dao, but with experience, it is easy to learn by analogy.

The saber technique was consistent, and the wolf was not able to get close, and there were two more hideous bloodstains on his body!
All the guards were dumbfounded!
They knew for the first time today that Ning Luo actually had such miraculous sword skills?
Is it appropriate for you not to become a master of martial arts and make a name for yourself, but to be a guard in our little Lin'an city?

Fortunately, although the captain was surprised, the process of exorcism has already been imprinted in the bone marrow.

He immediately took out the fire pack and threw it away!
When the flame touches the Kuroshio, it seems to have encountered gasoline, and it rises instantly!
Lang Hui took two steps back in horror, but Ning Luo took this opportunity to stab with his knife!
The long knife pierced through the body, nailing this deformed monster to the pillar of the archway!
Although Ning Luo hadn't been in contact with Foul for a long time, he already knew how to deal with it.

Since it is not afraid of death and can heal itself, then crucify it to restrict its movements, and then incinerate it with flames, so that it can be exterminated.

Ning Luo clapped his hands, took out the torch, and was about to make the final finishing touches.

however!
With a click, the wolf's head was torn apart instantly!

That ferocious skull shot out like a cannonball!

In a hurry, Ning Luo had no time to react, and his head hit his chest hard!
Countless purple-black roots stretched out, like an old tree with intertwined roots, gradually enveloping Ning Luo's body!

A heart-piercing pain suddenly hit, Ning Luo only felt that there was a taboo force trying to connect his nerves, overwrite his consciousness, and swallow all his remaining five senses in an instant!

However, before he was about to die, the feeling of cardiac arrest came suddenly.

Time stops and the world turns gray.

The story of Lin'an City is fixed on the side of the archway on the long street.

A cloud of black tide enveloped Ning Luo's head, while a group of guards stretched out their hands, as if exclaiming something.

The flickering flames froze, and the flung flames also stopped in mid-air.

The sky was falling.

[Ascending order failed]

【rank remains unchanged】

【Win: 0丨Loss: 1】

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

On the streets of Yongcheng, Ning Luo's pupils were bloodshot.

He supported the lamp post of the street lamp beside him with one hand, and covered his chest with the other hand, panting rapidly, not only his stomach was overwhelmed, but his spirit was also exhausted.

Su Yao on the side raised her head, her surprised expression didn't seem to be faked.

"You... so fast?"

Well, it's not a blunt stick reading, it means that she really didn't expect it to be so fast.

Ning Luo didn't answer, but examined himself nervously.

Seeing that he was not missing an arm or a leg, and the environment around him was Yongcheng Street, Ning Luo reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yao's expression returned to normal, and she said coldly, "don't worry, I won't kill you."

Ning Luo noticed that Su Yao's wording changed.

It used to be "no plan", but now it has become "won't".

Although this can't explain Su Yao's real thoughts, it vaguely reveals her attitude.

After dying once, Ning Luo also calmed down.

Sudden cardiac arrest every time before time travel and return can not be regarded as a death experience, but this time it is a real death.

Even though the system rescued him at the last moment, Ning Luo had truly experienced the desperate situation of being hugged by the black tide and being gnawed on his nerves once.

The increase in the tolerance of death fear is probably such a concept.

Ning Luo calmed down and looked at Su Yao squarely again: "I lost, so what price do I have to pay?"

"No." Su Yao's tone was indifferent, as if she really didn't need anything.

Ning Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, but this result made him a little uncomfortable.

Because Su Yao is looking for him on purpose, it is absolutely impossible to ask for nothing.

"Then what are you doing?"

"To verify your strength."

"Uh...me, my strength?"

"Well, not very good."

Ning Luo: "..."

The corner of Ning Luo's mouth twitched, and he retorted: "I could have won that filthy one, but it played around! It flew its own head out, how could I expect that?"

Su Yao said calmly: "There is a black tide condensed core in Fei's body, and the part where the core is located can be separated. So what you met is probably a dirty with a core in its head. "

Hearing this, Ning Luo was shocked!

That's right, the reason why the filthy wolf's face is covered with interlaced and dense fangs is not for chewing objects, but for protecting its own weaknesses with bones!

That's not a mouthpart, that's a helmet!

"Tsk!"

Ning Luo gritted his teeth, looking a little unwilling.

This was the first time he failed, and the defeat was so complete that he died on the spot in less than an hour.

Ning Luo was sure that he could beat Hui, if he had known in advance that Hui could fly his head, there would be no chance of him getting hit easily.

Moreover, he didn't have time to display all his talents, he didn't even start to practice, and he didn't have time to burn the Taoist words...

"Come again..."

However, before the words fell, Su Yao refused: "don't try, don't talk about your strength, first look at your trembling legs, your physical strength is exhausted."

Ning Luo's expression froze.

The consumption of the Sequence Controversy far exceeded his expectations, and now his body was already unsustainable.

It's already like this, if he still wants to fight bravely, it will look too childish.

Ning Luo originally wanted to resign to his fate.

However, a strange noise suddenly made him see hope.

goo...

Ning Luo was sure that the voice did not come from his stomach, so there was only one possibility left.

Su Yao turned her head in embarrassment, not knowing where she was looking.

Her expression seemed to have become a lot richer, at least far less cold than before.

Ning Luo knew that this was the best time for a showdown.

"So what are you looking for me for?"

"I said it from the beginning."

"Ah?" Ning Luo was startled, "When?"

Su Yao raised her hand and pointed to Yuan Kong.

Ning Luo looked in the direction of Su Yao's finger, her expression gradually froze.

It was a pitch-black tower reaching to the sky. The body of the tower was twisted together by hundreds of millions of circuits, and the spire soared into the sky!
People in the world generally call it the Black Tower, which is where the body of the "Matrix" system resides.

Ning Luo turned her head blankly, and what responded to him was Su Yao's serious and sincere reply.

"Take me back."
