Chapter 395 It’s rare to admire someone like this
After Kue escaped from the scarecrow formation, he noted the color of the flag and continued walking forward.
Along the way, he encountered many traps and traps, including the explosive talisman formation that caused great losses to the first two contestants.
When Melissa broke into the explosive talisman array, her wizard robe was blown up and her hair was burned; He was stuck in the explosive talisman array, injured his leg, and also lost a ghost.
Now it's Ku He's turn. Everyone wants to see how he breaks out of the explosive array.
Shen Yueran also watched carefully.
On the big screen, Ku E has stepped into the explosive talisman array. The explosive talisman buried underground is like a mine. It explodes as soon as he steps on it, and the speed is incredible.
The explosive talisman array that Kue encountered was different from the one that Heza encountered.
What Heza encountered was actually a combined talisman array. The soul-soothing talisman should be first, followed by the explosive talisman, so the explosion time should be delayed a little later, but what Kue encountered was a simple explosive talisman array.
Without any delay or any chance to dodge, it exploded directly.
Just when everyone thought that Ku E would also be injured by the explosion, they saw that Ku E didn't know what kind of technique he had performed. He stood with his legs apart, showing a horse stance, and then folded his hands up and down on his chest and performed Accept the gesture.
Soon, everyone saw on the screen that something like a transparent protective shield appeared around Ku E, like an invisible bell, directly covering Ku E's entire body inside.
Subsequently, all the damage caused by the explosion hit the bell and was reflected back by the transparent protective cover.
Next, all the explosions did not hurt Ku E at all. He just stood there, supporting the protective shield. He did not put away his technique until all the explosive talismans in this area were blown up.
The explosion stopped and the protective shield disappeared. Kue stood up straight and dusted off his robe, looking like a master.
Ku He continued to move forward, but the people in front of the screen were already discussing.
Shen Yueran lowered her voice and said to Officer Du:
“Ku’e’s protective shield is somewhat similar to the defensive formation that Xiaozhu made before. When I used the Bagua Pan on the island before, something like a transparent protective shield would form around it.”
"It's just that I used props at that time, but Ku'e relied on his own protective shield, which looks a bit like the golden bell in martial arts novels."
"However, it seems to be a little different from the real Golden Bell Shield. The real Golden Bell Shield Iron Shirt is not a technique where you stand still and get beaten passively. They can move when they are used. But the move that Ku E used just now , but didn’t move.”
Police Officer Du nodded and said:
“This is also his weakness, he is not flexible enough.”
"When I saw him dealing with the Scarecrow before, he seemed to be very fast, but the Scarecrow won't attack him, it just moves fast, so Ku'e doesn't have to worry about being hurt. He can increase his speed to the extreme to deal with the Scarecrow. "
“But when facing the explosive talisman array, because the talisman array would threaten him, and he was not fast enough to avoid the explosion, he chose to defend.”
"In other words, it seems that he can only choose between speed and defense. This means that he is not flexible enough. More importantly, he is a physical trainer. All means should be focused on close combat, and long-range attacks are insufficient. This is also one of the weaknesses.”
If Ku'e has long-range attacks, he can use long-range attacks to find the way. There is no need to risk his own life and break into the formation. If he can find the way, he will most likely avoid those explosive symbols. Array.
Shen Yueran agreed with Officer Du's words. While observing the screen, he wrote down all these weaknesses quickly.
Now, she can only use some cleverness to deal with them, but everyone knows that it is just a small competition, not worthy of everyone showing their trump cards, so this is definitely not their real strength.
They came for Pei Anzhu, and these things must be shown to Pei Anzhu.
Although Shen Yueran felt that these people were definitely no match for Pei Anzhu, no matter what, being prepared would at least allow Pei Anzhu to have a basic understanding of their situation so that nothing could go wrong.
Ku Er has a stable temperament. He stayed in the competition venue for more than four hours and finally visited the entire venue.
He found the so-called white box from a mechanism, counted the total number of colors of flags in the venue, and then began to search for the whereabouts of the little fox.
I saw Ku'e sitting cross-legged on the ground, taking out a wooden fish from his tattered cassock, and then started beating it with a mallet.
The rhythm of his knocking on the wooden fish is very rhythmic, and the crisp sound of the wooden fish seems to hit people's souls directly, making people confused, as if they will fall asleep in the next second.
Shen Yueran quickly put a heart-clearing charm on herself, and gave one to Officer Du, as well as the comrades from the surrounding bureau, so he could maintain his sanity.
She quickly took out a small notebook and wrote on it:
The sound of the bitter wooden fish has the effect of confusing people and making people fall asleep, but it is currently uncertain whether this is the only effect.
As for the foreign judges, they also fell into a dazed state. Fortunately, Melissa and Heza were there, and they tried to keep those people awake.
Although there is an internal competition among these five people, when facing the Dragon Kingdom, they are a group of interests, so when encountering this situation, Melissa and Heza are also willing to help Maple Leaf Kingdom and People outside elephant country.
Everyone was only dazed for a few seconds. After waking up, they looked at the big screen carefully, wondering why Ku E did this, but they saw that Ku E kept knocking the wooden fish at the same rhythm.
After knocking for one minute, there was no extra movement in the screen; after knocking for two minutes, there was still no movement; after knocking for three minutes, blood began to ooze from the corners of Kue's mouth, as if he had suffered internal injuries.
Four minutes later, more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth; five minutes later, a little fox appeared on the screen.
The little fox was swaying, and its originally clear and bright eyes seemed to have lost focus. It just walked forward in a certain direction blankly. Looking at the direction it was going, it happened to be where the misfortune was.
At this point, everyone understands the purpose of KuE—
His wooden fish sound can make people fall into drowsiness or confuse the mind. The little fox was probably confused by this sound, so he took the initiative to show up, even in front of Kue.
Shen Yueran stared at the little fox and Kue carefully, and she discovered one thing:
It is very difficult to completely confuse the little fox. The reason why Ku'e suffered internal injuries and vomited blood was actually because the little fox was trying its best to fight against the sound of his wooden fish.
The little fox is also a very powerful demon cultivator. It is not an ignorant little animal. It may have heard the sound of the wooden fish at first and was unprepared and fell into the trap, but it soon realized it.
The animal's instinct tells it that it would be dangerous if left unchecked, so it resists this sound and prevents itself from being addicted to it or losing its mind.
The more powerful it resisted, the more Kue had to expend a lot of energy to control it. Under the tug between the two sides, Kue was over-exhausted and inevitably suffered internal injuries.
The reason why the little fox walks crookedly and staggering is actually because two voices are fighting in its head.
A voice guided it towards the direction where the wooden fish sound came from.
Another voice told it that it was dangerous over there and had to turn back.
But judging from the current situation, Ku'e's wooden fish sound should have gained the upper hand. Although the little fox paused while walking, overall it was getting closer and closer to Ku'e.
Shen Yueran clenched her fists subconsciously. She was a little worried about the little fox.
If the little fox’s mind is really manipulated, will the misfortune be detrimental to the little fox? Although it was a competition, and both parties had agreed not to harm their lives,... people's hearts were unpredictable.
Another three minutes passed, and the little fox finally walked in front of Kue.
Just when Shen Yueran was worried and others were trying to watch the show, Kue stopped knocking on the wooden fish, the sound stopped, and the little fox suddenly woke up.
Immediately afterwards, a large mouthful of blood spurted out from Ku'e's mouth. He wiped it with his tattered cassock and said:
“As expected of a demon who has been around for more than five hundred years, he is so powerful.”
"It's my limit to be able to hold on until you take the initiative to come to me. If I knock any more, I'm afraid my heart will be seriously injured, so I can only stop. Fortunately, my goal has been achieved."
“I just want the fox demon to show up so that I don’t have to spend a lot of time looking for it.”
“Now, you can ask me three questions.”
Everyone in front of the screen listened and understood that Ku'e couldn't hold on any longer. If his cultivation level were higher, he might be able to control the little fox for a longer time, which would be more beneficial to his game.
From the time he started knocking the wooden fish to the time the little fox came to him, it lasted ten minutes. This was the limit of misery.
Everyone in front of the screen seemed to believe it, but Shen Yueran didn't think so.
In this kind of competition, he used such a powerful method to control a two-tailed fox demon that was more than 500 years old, but his shortcomings and limits were exposed?
Isn't this equivalent to directly showing others your trump card?
Now everyone knows that if they face Kue in the future, everyone will be on guard against his move.
But what if he showed the limit of these ten minutes on purpose?
Shen Yueran wrote down in his notebook that the control time currently seems to be 10 minutes, but it has not been confirmed.
The little fox stood in front of Kue and shook his head, as if to get rid of the wooden fish sound that had entered his mind before, and then he spoke:
“Congratulations on finding me, now please answer my three questions.”
“First question, how long did you stay in the competition venue? Seconds are not counted, and an error of three minutes is allowed. As long as it is within the range, you will be considered correct.”
Ku'E frowned, thought for a long time, and came up with an answer:
“Four hours and thirty minutes.”
He will not give up just because he is not sure of the time like Heza did before, and just say the same thing casually. If he gets the answer right, let's take a gamble.
After hearing this, the little fox snorted twice and shouted at the drone:
“How long did it take him?”
Shen Yueran looked at the time and said:
“Four hours, twenty-eight minutes and forty-four seconds.”
The error was within three minutes, and the little fox announced that Ku'e's answer was correct.
The little fox said congratulations, and then said:
“Excuse me, how many steps did I take in total when I walked towards you? If the error is within 10 steps, you are correct.”
˜Bitterness:…? ? ?
Who can answer this?
At that time, he was concentrating on knocking on the wooden fish and trying to lure the little fox over. If there was any distraction, the little fox would break free from his control and run away without a trace. When the time came, he would answer these three questions. There is no chance.
However, based on the principle that even if the answer is wrong, he cannot refuse to answer it, he said:
“A thousand steps.”
“Wrong answer.” The little fox shook his back. There was a pedometer on it, which showed a total of 802 steps.
Ku'E smiled helplessly and nodded:
“Then I guessed wrong.”
“The third question, how long can you control me with the wooden fish?” asked the little fox.
"About ten minutes." Ku'e answered quickly this time because he estimated the time it took him to knock the wooden fish.
But unexpectedly, the little fox denied his answer:
"Wrong, it took more than ten minutes. I could feel that when I walked in front of you, the control in my mind was still increasing, but it stopped abruptly in an instant. You should still have the power to completely control me, but I has appeared, you don’t need to continue to control it.”
The little fox revealed that Ku E had used the wooden fish to control people's hearts for more than ten minutes, which made Ku E's face change slightly. But he soon regained his composure and said with a wry smile:
“Okay, if you don’t want to, just let it go. This question will be considered my fault.”
He felt as if the little fox was deliberately making things difficult for him and making trouble unreasonably. It was as if the little fox was deliberately trying to let him get less points, so he also said that the right questions were wrong.
For a while, it was not clear what was true and what was false.
But Shen Yueran believed in the little fox. After all, the little fox was the fox in charge, and its feelings were the most direct. Therefore, she felt that the sound of the miserable wooden fish could definitely be controlled for more than ten minutes.
The little fox has been a demon for more than 500 years, and it can be controlled for more than ten minutes. What would happen if this wooden fish sound was used on ordinary people?
Shen Yueran wrote these down and announced that the bitter competition was over.
Ku E was also far away from the entrance, and a car was sent to pick him up. After he came out, the judges announced his score, which was the highest score among the three people currently participating in the competition: 84 points.
Police Officer Du told his scoring points:
"Find the white box, complete task one, and get 30 points; answer the color of all the flags in the venue correctly, and complete task two, and get 30 points; answer the little fox's first question correctly, and get 14 points; within ten minutes, Pass the Explosive Talisman level without any injuries and get 10 points.”
After Kue came out, Melissa smiled and said congratulations to him, but Heza's expression was not good-looking.
This scene was seen by Shen Yueran and Officer Du.
Sure enough, although these five people have the same interests, they are definitely not monolithic internally. If they really want to plot evil against Pei Anzhu, then this is not something they cannot take advantage of.
After Ku He finished the competition, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not too late to have lunch.
So, the judges and the contestants who had already participated in the competition all went to eat. As for Annie and Abe Jinsuke, the two people who had not competed yet, people from the Irregular Bureau specially delivered meals to the waiting room.
Only in this way can we avoid the trouble of revealing the problem to both of them to the greatest extent.
The lunch break took a total of half an hour. Everyone wanted to finish the work quickly and end it early in the evening, so they finished lunch as soon as possible and returned to the venue.
Shen Yueran didn't eat. She spent the past half hour repairing and rectifying the competition venue.
The next contestant is Annie, a vampire hunter from the Wutong Kingdom.
Just as there are monsters and ghosts in many literary works of the Dragon Kingdom, many literary works of the Wutong Kingdom also describe species such as vampires and werewolves. However, people used to think that these were just the imagination of artists.
But in fact, every country has members of official organizations, hiding from the general public and carrying forward the burden.
The struggle between vampire hunters and vampires has been going on for thousands of years in the history of the Wutong Kingdom. In the Wutong Kingdom a thousand years ago, the world was basically divided between humans and vampires.
Humans occupy the day and vampires occupy the night, trying to achieve peace.
However, people have ignored the allure of fresh blood to vampires. The vampire family often goes to other people's homes to **** human blood when the night is dark and windy, and their vision is unclear, causing a large number of human deaths.
Even, because the vampires have long lifespans, are fast, have high defense, and are relatively durable, and even ordinary weapons cannot hurt them at all, vampires have a tendency to be superior to humans.
Human beings felt that they could not continue like this, so vampire hunters came into being.
At the beginning, there was no such thing as "vampire hunter".
It is only the Wutong Kingdom officials that are responsible for fighting vampires. During the long-term struggle experience, the Wutong Kingdom officials have figured out some ways to deal with vampires and also found some things that can restrain vampires.
For example, sunlight, silverware, crosses, garlic, etc. It was later discovered that weapons blessed by the holy water of the Church of Light can cause damage to dark creatures such as vampires.
Over time, the officials used the means of the Church of Light to create an organization dedicated to fighting vampires.
With the development of the years, this organization has experienced several evolutions and differentiations, and finally evolved into a national organization and a private organization. The private organization was based on the family, and later evolved into the hunter family.
And Annie, who comes to the Dragon Kingdom this time, comes from a family of vampire hunters.
Her ancestors were very powerful. At their most glorious time, they could even defeat the vampire duke. It is said that this family has been born with the power of light since a certain generation. He does not need the blessing of the church, his blood is the best for vampires. nemesis.
That is, starting from this generation, everyone in his descendants has this natural power, which has been passed down to Anne's generation.
Anne is also the most promising young person of this generation in her family.
After Annie came out, she greeted Shen Yueran with a smile and asked:
“Excuse me, what is my mission?”
Shen Yueran responded politely to the polite girl and said:
“You also have three tasks.”
“First, there is a small silver cross somewhere in the venue. Please bring it out.”
“Second, there are treasure boxes of different sizes placed throughout the venue. Please find out the exact number of treasure boxes.”
“Third, please answer three questions from the guard boss fox demon.”
After hearing this, Annie nodded, and then Shen Yueran sent her to the venue and started her competition.
Anne’s dress can be regarded as the most obvious among these people. The tight leather jacket and leather pants outline her beautiful figure, and others can also see at a glance that there is nothing hidden in her clothes.
Unlike Melissa’s previous wizard robes and Kue’s tattered cassocks, such loose clothes can usually cover up a lot of things, but Anne is just the opposite. She seems to show everything about herself openly.
Although she didn’t hide anything in her clothes, she carried a lot of things with her.
There is a belt hanging around Anne's waist, which is specially customized according to her figure and usage habits. This belt is used to hold various weapons and tools. The things are placed within easy reach of her for easy access.
She wears high boots on her feet, and it can be seen that there are two daggers placed at the top of the boots, which can be easily pulled out by raising her legs.
Annie entered the scene, and like Kue, now walked around the door, looking for the location of the little fox. She didn't find any clues, and she wasn't disappointed, but strode toward the inside.
Next, Annie contributed a visual feast to everyone—
Her kung fu is definitely the best among the five, much better than Ku E.
The misfortune should have taken advantage of the cultivation techniques. Although it can increase the speed to the extreme in a short period of time, Annie does not have any bonus from the techniques. She is just an outsider's kung fu and moves that she has trained hard.
This is what Officer Du said to Shen Yueran.
Police Officer Du can be considered an old criminal policeman. When he was young, he received training in the police academy and practiced these fighting moves. Perhaps he is not as knowledgeable as Shen Yueran about metaphysics, but he knows a lot about martial arts:
“This Miss Anne is very powerful. Her kung fu is as good as the top special forces in the Dragon Kingdom.”
"You see, Melissa has witchcraft, Heza has the ability to control ghosts, and Kue has also practiced some mental skills. Whether it's defense like a golden bell or the sound of wooden fish that can confuse people's hearts, these are all relatively magical. category."
“Including our Dragon Kingdom’s Xuanmen and Alchemy Arrays, they also use the power of nature, which looks mysterious and mysterious.”
“Only Anne, her kung fu is really hard. She probably fought the vampires with this hard kung fu and the blood on her body.”
“If we put aside everything else, if we have to fight with real swords and guns, no one here can be Annie’s opponent.”
Shen Yueran nodded and was amazed by Annie's skills.
Since Anne did not take chances like Heza, but moved forward step by step like Kue, their action routes were basically the same.
First encountered the scarecrow formation. In this formation, Ku E spent more than forty minutes fighting with twenty-eight scarecrows in order to figure out the color of the flag in the scarecrow's head.
Annie also encountered the same problem. She found the treasure chest from the scarecrow's broken body.
So, she still had to fight twenty-eight scarecrows, but it only took her a total of twenty minutes—
Her approach is to stop with stillness.
The scarecrow spun rapidly and did not attack anyone. Anne stood there, silently counting the seconds, calculating the scarecrow's rotation speed, and then used her most familiar and comfortable posture to kick one of them hard.
But the scarecrow is relatively strong, and it will definitely not fall apart after being kicked once, so she has to kick it a second and third time.
She just stood there, and every time the scarecrow turned to her right, thirty degrees diagonally in front of her, she would kick her legs hard and decisively, and she would hit the scarecrow exactly every time.
In other words, the scarecrow can spin around three times at most and be kicked by her three times before falling apart, revealing the treasure chest inside.
Annie is like a robot.
For twenty minutes, she made no extra moves. After figuring out the rotation time of the scarecrows, she just found the right moment to kick her legs, and kicked the twenty-eight scarecrows away in the least labor-intensive way.
Then he counted the treasure chests inside, there were 19 in total.
There are no fancy moves in the whole process, unlike other people who are both witchcraft and ghosts, nor like Kue who increases his speed to the extreme and chases a scarecrow.
Annie is waiting for work. She doesn't chase, she just waits. As long as the timing is right, the scarecrow will pass her every time, and it will naturally come to her door.
This scene, everyone in front of the screen was amazed.
You know, just by breaking into a scarecrow formation, Annie showed her strong qualities.
Her control of time is even accurate to milliseconds, because she can hit the scarecrow she chose exactly every time, and the scarecrow needs to circle around her. If the time is not controlled properly, it is impossible to do this. Accurate.
Moreover, she controlled her own strength to the extreme. Every time, she kicked the scarecrow with her right leg. She kicked the same action so many times within twenty minutes, but she didn't show any signs of fatigue. It was as if she just did something. Same fuck.
After breaking through the scarecrow formation, Annie continued to move forward.
Like Kue, she also encountered other traps and traps, but she was always able to escape as quickly as possible.
It can be seen from this that Annie is very smart. She can almost see through Shen Yueran's intention of setting up those traps at a glance, and then directly find the most critical location and destroy the entire level.
She is like a warrior, moving forward indomitably, as if nothing can stop her in front of her.
Shen Yueran looked at Annie's big chestnut wavy hair, swaying slightly behind her as she walked, and shining brightly in the sunlight.
"She is really powerful." Shen Yueran expressed heartfelt admiration, "She is the only one so far who has competed with human strength and achieved this step with human strength. She took very little time on each level. I It is reasonable to speculate that she should be the one with the highest score among the five.”
Even if she doesn’t use witchcraft or ghost control, she can still compare with those other people.
Shen Yueran rarely admired anyone, but among the young girls, besides Pei Anzhu, Annie was the second person she admired because she was so awesome.
Soon, Annie arrived near the explosive talisman formation. No matter which way she took, she would definitely step into the formation.
Shen Yueran subconsciously focused her attention, looking forward to Annie's next performance.
