Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Chapter 184: Chess Player

The heavy rain continued to fall from the sky.

Occasionally, a streak of lightning would strike, illuminating the surrounding dark mountains and fields, as if it were a crouching, ferocious beast.

Several figures wearing military raincoats jumped off the train, splashing up some mud. Carrying black boxes on their backs, they quickly ran towards the depths of the mountains and forests.

After this period of recovery, Lu Xuan's physical strength has almost fully recovered.

Xuanweizi can accelerate Lu Xuan's recovery, and when combined with Jialuo's skin, the effect is even better!

Now that the vehicles can no longer proceed, we have to walk. Moreover, the further we go, the more rugged the roads become. On the contrary, the individual speed of these soldiers will make things easier.

A group of ten people, in the dark of the torrential rain, formed a long line and ran swiftly through the mountains and fields.

Lu Xuan and Lin Qiye were running at the very front, while Instructor Hong was at the very back.

Lin Qiye possesses the Mortal God Realm, allowing him to clearly avoid all obstacles even at night, while Lu Xuan has an extraordinary perception, as if he can see the entire map, making little difference between night and day.

Instructor Hong was in charge of bringing up the rear and was also the only expert from the Sichuan region in the team!

At this moment, everyone felt extremely depressed. Even Fatty, who was usually so cheerful and carefree, was not as serious as he usually was.

No one spoke, no one complained of being tired; everyone just kept their heads down and kept moving forward.

Everyone understands that every minute here may be a matter of life and death for another person.

Reaching the village even a second faster could save another life, and moving quickly in the dark requires extra concentration to conserve every bit of energy.

Everyone moved quickly through the mountains in silence, passing through two groves of trees and speeding forward along the path between the valleys.

The once gentle, babbling brook has been transformed into a murky river by the mudslide, with the ruins of some buildings floating on its surface.

Rumble, rumble!

A clap of thunder boomed in the sky, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and then the soil and rocks not far away, softened by the rain, rolled down rapidly.

Because the boulder was on a hillside and the rain was making a lot of noise, the few recruits who were behind didn't notice it.

"To the right! A landslide is occurring at the seven o'clock direction!"

Lu Xuan shouted.

Molly, who was following behind, raised her hand, ready to use her ability, but was stopped by Lin Qiye.

"Don't use it. The mountain structure is too fragile right now. If you use the 'Myriad Manifestations Frequent Movement' technique, it will only accelerate their collapse and may even cause a larger landslide!"

Lin Qiye quickly called out softly.

Before anyone could make a move, they saw Lu Xuan draw his sword directly towards the boulder.

Little White!

cut!

boom--

A slash wave flashing with pale green light shot through the air and split into several pieces right before the boulder even rolled down!

Then, vines grew rapidly on the hillside.

Like poured concrete, it quickly and forcefully stabilized the landslide-prone mountains and the boulders that had been cut open.

"So...so awesome!!"

"Unbelievable... Brother Xuan is amazing!"

"Rapidly growing trees... Is this also one of Brother Xuan's abilities?"

"Such a precise strike! I didn't expect Brother Xuan's vision to be so clear even in the darkness!"

……

The new recruits behind him gasped in surprise, and even Instructor Hong, who was at the very back, was astonished.

If that boulder had rolled down, even he would have had a lot of trouble dealing with it.

If the torrential rain were to hit too hard, it could lead to more landslides.

However, it was resolved so easily in front of Lu Xuan, especially Lu Xuan's ability to grow vines so quickly, which is exactly what he does against mudslides, a natural counter!

"Come on!"

Lu Xuan didn't have time to look at his results; he simply called out softly to the back and took the lead in clearing the way.

His perception was even more dominant than Lin Qiye's, so being in charge of clearing the way was the most suitable thing for everyone.

As time goes by, everyone in the bull market is getting closer and closer to the location of Village 1.

The breathing of the soldiers gradually became heavy. The cold rain mixed with the muddy stains, soaking through their military overcoats and even filling their boots with mud.

They felt unprecedented discomfort and physical and mental exhaustion. Cold, hunger, pain, and all sorts of negative emotions welled up in their hearts, but no one complained of being tired.

After a year of rigorous training, everyone has developed a stronger will.

Moreover, when everyone sees Lu Xuan at the very front, they can't help but feel a surge of pride.

The man in front of them was leading everyone in a charge through the darkness. Although it was extremely dangerous, everyone possessed an unprecedented fighting spirit.

The instructor, Hong, who was lagging behind, started talking on the walkie-talkie on his waist. He spoke as he ran quickly.

After a long while, his expression became extremely solemn.

"What's wrong, Instructor Hong?!"

Lin Qiye, who was in charge of providing support from both the front and rear, noticed the change in Instructor Hong and couldn't help but ask him about it.

"The commander has gone missing!"

"Missing? Commander Yuan Gang?"

Fatty, Shen Qingzhu, and the others were stunned.

"He went missing half an hour ago. The last two instructors who saw him were at the temporary command post. They originally thought that the commander had gone to a village to help with the rescue, but there was no sign of the commander in any of the villages outside."

Instructor Hong said in a deep voice.

Normally, this kind of information shouldn't be shared with these new recruits, but the situation is very special now.

Especially since his own team had two precious members of the Night's Watch, he was worried that something unexpected might happen, so he wanted to disclose the relevant information to prepare everyone.

"Perhaps the commander has already arrived at Village 1, and they want to ask us if we have seen it?" Lin Qiye explained.

“Yes, but we haven’t arrived at Village 1 yet, so we don’t know the specific situation. If the commander is moving at his pace, we should be able to arrive in two hours.” Instructor Hong said with some concern.

"As expected... they've disappeared!"

Lu Xuan, who was at the front, had amazing hearing and clearly heard their conversation. It seemed that everything had happened just as he knew from the beginning.

The leader's disappearance must be the work of the ancient god's church.

Now that I'm already in this situation, there's no reason to let it continue like this.

"The commander should not have arrived at Village 1. He was attacked, and it is highly likely that he was trapped by some kind of ability!"

Lu Xuan suddenly spoke.
