Chapter 396 recorded the weaknesses of five people
Anne seemed to be strolling in a leisurely way, walking in a random direction.
However, just three seconds later, she stepped into the explosive talisman array. The explosive talisman buried underground exploded unexpectedly with a bang.
Even the people watching in front of the screen were shocked, but Anne's expression did not change at all.
At the moment when the explosion sounded, she made a move, twisted her waist, and immediately avoided the incoming explosion, avoiding herself from being injured.
But when she was dodging, she moved two steps to the left and stepped on another explosive talisman.
The explosion sounded again, and it even affected the whole body. Like firecrackers, the explosions sounded one after another, crackling, and if you couldn't dodge, you could easily be injured here.
It was here that Kue suffered a loss before.
He was not slow at all, but unfortunately he was still not as fast as the explosions that went off one after another. He was also injured a few times, so he decided to use a defense similar to the "golden bell" and wait until the explosions were over before leaving.
But Annie was the opposite of him. Annie's eyes were firm and she didn't seem to pay attention to the explosive talisman formation at all.
She continued to move forward amidst the explosions that filled the sky.
The explosive talismans on the ground are all low-level talisman papers drawn by Shen Yueran. Their lethality is not too strong, but if they are exploded many of them at the same time, they can still have an effect.
Dirt flew everywhere and kept jumping on Annie's body.
But Annie's speed is extremely fast. She can often dodge an explosion the moment it occurs, avoid being injured, and then move herself to the next place.
Continue to dodge the moment the next explosion occurs.
From the perspective of the drone, Annie seemed to be driving at double speed. While the ground was exploding, she was running. Her figure was like an agile cheetah, dodging left and right to avoid those explosive symbols.
Looking at it, the people in front of the screen even saw a bit of "angry" in those explosive symbols.
Explosive Talisman: Ahhh, I’m so angry! Why can't I blow her up?
If the explosive talisman could talk, it would probably be nothing more than that.
Then, everyone watched Annie continue to walk through the constant explosions. It took about ten minutes to break out of the explosion array.
When she took the last step out of the talisman formation, she was unscathed, except for some mud that soiled her leather jacket and pants.
Anne calmly dusted herself off, turned around and smiled brightly at the drone, and then continued to stride forward and continue to pass the level.
Three hours later, Annie found the silver cross hidden in the field, counted the treasure boxes hidden inside, and began to search for the whereabouts of the little fox.
The little fox does not take the initiative to show up. Only when you find it will it appear and ask questions. Unless, like Ku'e, some method is used to confuse the little fox's mind and force the little fox to show up voluntarily.
Everyone was waiting to see what Anne would do.
She took out a brown bottle from her waist, opened the cap, poured the white powder inside onto the ground, and used the powder to draw a circular pattern of about one square meter.
This pattern looks very mysterious, it seems to be a six-pointed star, but something else is added to it.
In short, it should be the culture of Wutong country, which others cannot understand very well.
After finishing the painting, Anne took out the dagger from her boot, cut her finger with the knife, and let her blood drip on the circular pattern, and then the pattern began to emit a dark light.
As I said before, some vampire hunter families are born to be the enemies of vampires because of their blood.
Anne's blood, in some cases, can be compared to the holy water of the Church of Light.
Outside the screen, everyone watched without blinking.
Shen Yueran thought that Annie would "physically break through" from beginning to end and would not use "magic means", but she did not expect that in the last level, she would still use it.
About three minutes later, in the venue, the pattern drawn by Annie became brighter and brighter.
Along with this, a strong wind appeared in the venue. The strong wind was a bit abnormal. The wind was so strong that it could almost fly sand and rocks. The flying dust in the sky blocked the camera, making the view blurry for everyone in front of the screen.
Five minutes later, the wind stopped, and a monster appeared in the circular pattern Annie drew—
It is not very tall, just like an ordinary adult dog.
However, it has three heads.
"Is this a three-headed **** dog?" Shen Yueran saw this scene and turned to talk to Officer Du.
"It should be." Officer Du nodded, "Since vampires and werewolves are not the imagination of artists, then the existence of three-headed **** dogs is not a problem."
"That's right." Shen Yueran nodded, "I can probably guess what the pattern Annie drew is. It should be a summoning array. In many Western literary works, there will be sacrifices of certain things, summoning demons from hell, etc. The plot, I think Anne’s move should be like this.”
Dragon Kingdom Xuanmen also has a summoning formation. I still remember that not long after Pei Anzhu started the live broadcast, he connected with Shen Yueran’s mother, Mrs. Shen. Later, he helped the Shen family subdue the little fox. In order to make the little fox appear automatically, he also used it A summoning talisman.
It has the same effect as the summoning array of Wutong Kingdom.
Police Officer Du nodded after listening to Shen Yueran’s words:
“This Anne is very capable. Seeing that her challenge is almost over, I don’t find any weaknesses in her. She is indeed the most difficult to deal with among these people.”
Shen Yueran's face also became serious.
Indeed, Anne is very skilled. When it comes to fighting with real swords and guns, she is the absolute number one. When it comes to these "magic means", she relies on very little external force, and all she relies on is her own blood.
But as long as she lives, she will have a constant supply of blood to use.
This is more convenient than the Xuanmen of the Dragon Kingdom.
After all, no matter how powerful the talisman paper is, it will be used up sometimes. Unless you carry yellow paper, cinnabar and a brush with you, you can draw it and replenish it when it is used up. But if it is really in actual combat, who can give her time to draw the talisman?
As for Anne's blood, I heard that it can be used directly by smearing the blood on the weapon, which is really much more convenient.
Shen Yueran wrote down all his observations about Anne.
She doesn't take anyone else seriously, but she is not sure who is better between Annie and Pei Anzhu in the Qi refining stage. The main reason is that Annie's current strength is too strong.
Everyone continued to look at the big screen.
But Anne touched the head of the monster, the three-headed **** dog, and ordered:
“Go and find it.”
The dog's nose has always been the most effective, not to mention three dog heads and three noses, which is three times more effective. It is not difficult to find a little fox with a strange smell.
About five minutes later, the three heads of the three-headed **** dog started barking in one direction.
The next second, it started running, with Annie following closely behind it.
After a while, I found the location of the little fox.
The three-headed dog barked several times toward the place where the little fox was hiding. The little fox knew that he had been found, and immediately appeared in front of Annie.
The little fox noticed Annie's performance in the venue and had a good impression of this powerful girl in his heart. So he raised his little head and said to Annie with a smile:
“Congratulations on finding me. You are the best among the four people competing so far!”
This sentence is a sincere compliment.
Annie squatted down, touched the little fox’s head with a smile, and asked with a smile:
“Thank you for the compliment. Can I answer three questions?”
The little fox nodded and said:
“Please listen carefully, the first question is, how many explosions occurred in the explosion array? If the error is within 10, you will be considered correct.”
Anne raised her eyebrows and answered without any hesitation:
“A total of 372 sounds.”
The little fox was a little stunned when he heard this. Then he raised his head and looked at the drone, asking Shen Yueran to announce the answer.
Shen Yueran said:
"The answer is correct. I buried a total of 380 talisman papers in the talisman array, but why only 372 talisman papers exploded. You have to look at it to find out. But no matter what, Annie's answer is correct."
The little fox then continued to ask:
“Second question, how many times did you turn back when you were looking for the treasure chest?”
“Seven times.” Annie said firmly.
“The answer is correct.” Shen Yueran confirmed her answer.
“The third question is, who is stronger, me or your three-headed **** dog?” the little fox asked, staring at the three-headed **** dog with eagerness in its eyes.
It wanted to have a fight with the three-headed dog and find out for Shen Yueran the opponent's strength.
"You are more powerful." Annie said directly without giving it a chance to fight, "My three-headed dog is just a search dog. It is good at finding people and things, but it is not good at fighting. It is not your opponent. "
The little fox suddenly felt a breath in his heart, unable to move up or down.
The other party said that it is more powerful, is it possible that it can still refuse to admit it and say that it is not as good as the three-headed dog?
Isn’t this a way of boosting others’ ambition and destroying one’s own prestige?
If it really clamored for a fight with the three-headed dog, if it won, it would be fine, and it would only mean that Annie's answer was fulfilled; but if it lost, it would be embarrassing in front of so many people.
At that time, not only the little fox's own face will be lost, but also Shen Yueran's face, Pei Anzhu's face, and even the face of the entire Yi Tiao Bureau and even the Dragon Kingdom.
The little fox was depressed by this opportunistic answer, and he spoke languidly:
“Congratulations, the answer is correct.”
Annie's competition ended here, with a total time of three hours and thirty-four minutes, which was shorter than the time spent by Melissa and Kue, but longer than the time spent by Heza.
However, her score is relatively high.
Those who participated in the first three competitions saw with their own eyes how powerful Annie was. She could walk through the explosive talisman formation without suffering any losses. This was obviously not something ordinary people could do.
The Alien Bureau sent a car to pick her out. When they returned to the scene, Annie asked with a smile:
“Miss Shen, do you know how much I scored?”
Police Officer Du looked at each other and announced her score:
"130 points, find the silver cross, complete task one, get 30 points; figure out the number of treasure chests, complete task two, get 30 points; find the little fox and answer three questions correctly, get 40 points; in the scarecrow level, the explosive charm Passing the array level and other trap levels without taking any damage will score 30 points, for a total of 130 points.”
“Judges, do you have any objections to this?”
The judges shook their heads and said they had no objections. Anne's score was well-deserved.
Shen Yueran looked at the notebook in his hand and basically didn't write anything about Annie's weaknesses. Instead, he wrote down a lot of her strengths, such as fast speed, high kung fu, good memory, careful mind, etc.
She also has a three-headed **** dog that can be summoned at any time, but its combat power is currently unknown. Shen Yueran feels that this three-headed **** dog is definitely not what Anne said, it is just a search dog.
After all, according to records, the three-headed dog of **** guards the gate of hell, can grow or shrink at will, and can devour human souls.
Anne walked to the chair next to Kue and sat down. She smiled and said to the others:
“Everyone, I accept it.”
"It's too early for you to be happy, and Abe Jinsuke hasn't come forward yet. He is an onmyoji from Sakura Country, and he has raised a few shikigami. Maybe his ghost control skills are even more powerful than mine." Kakuza Open your mouth.
“Then we’ll see.” Anne smiled.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting dark, and Abe Jinsuke was the only one left without the competition. Everyone agreed that there was no need to postpone it until tomorrow, and the competition should be completed today.
Soon, Rensuke Abe was brought out, and his competition was about to begin.
While the staff was putting on the live broadcast equipment for him, Shen Yueran also talked to him at the same time:
“According to the competition procedure, you also have three tasks this time.”
"First, there is a book in the venue called "Animal Illustration". Please take it out."
“Second, please find out how many blue-covered books there are in the venue.” “Third, find the guardian boss, the demon fox, and answer its three questions.”
“If you have no questions about the mission, then please follow me to the entrance. Your competition timer will start soon.”
Hisuke Abe did not speak, just nodded, followed Shen Yueran to the entrance, and stepped into the venue. The timer was also officially turned on at this time.
He is a relatively aloof person. He talks the least among the five people from the beginning. He usually sits with several other people and doesn't talk much, so he doesn't interact with Shen Yueran like others, or do it in advance. Say harsh words and the like.
After entering the venue, Abe Jinsuke released the three shikigami he contracted:
A ghost king with about three hundred years of cultivation, a completely black cat, and a humanoid monster with a strong aura. Her prototype cannot be seen, but she can only be seen as a banshee holding a red umbrella.
“Go.” Abe Jinsuke waved to the three shikigami.
The three shikigami each responded, and then began to divide the work and cooperate—
The banshee went to look for the "Animal Illustrated Book" book, the ghost king looked for how many books there were with blue covers, and the black cat looked for the whereabouts of the little fox.
In the entire venue, the most commonly used talismans are talismans, and talismans are generally more useful against ghosts than demons, so banshees are used to explore the entire venue.
The ghost king is just helping from the side, and one ghost and one demon work together.
As for the black cat, it is psychic and can sense all non-human scents in the world. Use it to find the little fox, just like Annie used the three-headed dog to find the little fox in the previous level.
Hisuke Abe followed the same path as Kakuza, except that Kakuza used ghosts and he used shikigami.
He also stood there and did not move, because his shikigami would bring everything back to him, and his shikigami had a complete range of types, including ghosts, demons, and animals, unlike Kakuza who only had ghosts in his hands, which were restricted.
I have to say that Abe Jinsuke’s shikigami is very powerful.
The scarecrow formation was breached by the banshee. The explosive talisman formation was torn apart by the banshee as soon as it trapped the Ghost King. The red umbrella in her hand was a very powerful defensive weapon, which directly blocked the explosions without affecting them. To the King of Ghosts.
In fact, when it reaches the level of the Ghost King, these low-level talismans drawn by Shen Yueran can no longer cause substantial damage to it. At most, it can cause minor injuries without causing any fundamental damage.
But despite this, the Banshee still used the red umbrella to block the Ghost King firmly, not even caring that a hole was blown out of her skirt. In other words, the Banshee's priority was to protect the Ghost King over herself.
When Shen Yueran saw this scene, there was a deep thought in her eyes, and she wrote down this doubt in her notebook.
There is nothing interesting about Abe Jinsuke’s breakthrough.
That is, the three shikigami each use their own unique moves to complete all tasks together, and cooperate with each other to protect each other and strive to reduce injuries and losses.
By the time Abe Jinsuke found the little fox, only an hour and a half had passed.
The black cat meowed twice, jumped onto Rensuke Abe's shoulders and squatted down. The Banshee and the Ghost King stood beside Rensuke Abe on the left and right, waiting for the little fox to ask questions.
The little fox glanced at the three shikigami and said:
“Congratulations, you are the fastest player to find me, and you basically passed the level without any injuries. As long as you can answer my three questions correctly, you will be the well-deserved first place in this level.”
At present, the first place should be Anne.
She took more than three hours. Although Heza's time was shorter than hers, Heza's score was too low and her legs were injured. Overall, Anne was the best.
But now Abe Jinsuke takes less time. Compared with Anne, he is only short of these three questions.
He has already obtained the rest of the points.
“Excuse me.” Rensuke Abe spoke.
This seemed to be the first time Shen Yueran heard him speak. His voice was a little low, as if it was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time, and it sounded a little awkward.
The little fox’s eyes wandered for a while, then he asked:
“The first question is, in the process of just breaking through the level, which way did the black cat go farther, or did the banshee go the farther way?”
The Banshee and the Ghost King need to go around and find the whereabouts of the "Animal Illustrated Book". They also have to search for the blue-covered book, almost all over the place.
But the black cat is no less generous. It also needs to search the entire venue to find the little fox.
Originally, according to the attributes of a black cat, it is very sensitive to the scent of non-human spiritual creatures, so it should not take such a long time to search, but the little fox learned the lesson this time.
In the previous level, it was found by the three-headed **** dog. This time it restrained its aura, so it was not so easy for the black cat to find it, and it took a certain amount of effort.
Hisuke Abe seemed to recall the previous situation, and then said:
“The banshee walks a longer way.”
"The answer is correct." The little fox confirmed his answer, and then continued, "Second question, how many books with red covers are there in the entire competition venue?"
After hearing this question from the little fox, a look of astonishment flashed across Abe Jinsuke's normally emotionless face:
“Aren’t you asking about the blue cover?”
“That was the second task given to you by the examiner, but here is the second small question, which is different.” said the little fox.
At this time, Abe Jinsuke fell silent.
Who would have thought that the question could be asked like this? There was already a question about the number of colors, but I didn’t expect that the little fox would ask another one.
There is the issue of Shen Yueran's blue cover. Whether it is Abe Jinsuke or his shikigami, they basically only pay attention to the blue cover and subconsciously ignore the red.
In this case, Abe Jinsuke can only guess a number at random:
“15 copies.”
The contestants outside the screen probably thought that he would give the wrong answer. Melissa even smiled and congratulated Anne:
“It seems that you are going to be the first place this time. Abe’s score will definitely not be as good as yours.”
"No." Annie shook her head, "He is the first place. His score is the same as mine, but his time is shorter than mine, so he is the first place."
"How come the scores are the same? His second question is obviously a random guess, and he must not be able to guess it correctly." Heza said.
"He didn't guess randomly. The reason he guessed 15 was because there were 15 books with blue covers. He was betting on his luck that there would be as many books with red covers as blue covers." Anne explained, "In fact, , he won the bet, there were indeed 15 books of each color in the venue.”
Don't underestimate Annie's memory. She can count the number of explosions while dodging the explosive array, which shows her extraordinary mind and memory.
Now she is just watching other people's games, and with the drone providing a bird's-eye view of the entire field, she can naturally see everything clearly.
Sure enough, as soon as Anne finished speaking, the little fox affirmed:
“Congratulations, you answered correctly!”
“The third question is, I’m going to have a fight with one of your shikigami. The time limit is five minutes. After it’s over, please count how many moves we used in total.”
The little fox learned to be smart this time.
When it faced Annie in the last game, it directly asked "Who is more powerful, it or the three-headed dog?" Originally, it wanted Annie to answer "I don't know" so that it could take the opportunity to have a fight and find out the three-headed dog's true identity. Annie took advantage of it and answered it directly, which was even more powerful.
As soon as he said this, it was not easy for him to pester him to try again.
So now it changed its routine and asked for a fight with one of the shikigami, asking questions based on the fight. In this way, it could help Shen Yueran find out the reality of the shikigami.
Although it is impossible to fight them all, at least one of the shikigami can still be figured out clearly.
Hisuke Abe did not expect the third question to be like this, but he was not good at words and did not say much. He just nodded and said:
“Okay, then let the black cat have a fight with you.”
In Abe Jinsuke's opinion, the black cat and the little fox are about the same size, and both are furry animals. The fight will be more interesting, and even if the winner is determined in the end, the comparison will not be too tragic.
As for the Ghost King and the Banshee, he didn’t want to send them on.
Because Abe Rensuke heard what Kakuza said about the little fox after the competition last night. He knew that the little fox practiced merit and its merit demon pill could restrain all ghosts, including Kakuza's two hundred-year-old ghosts. , were all killed by the little fox with one move, how long can his ghost king last?
Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to use the ghost king to deal with a demon who cultivates merit.
As for the Red Umbrella Banshee, she is also a demon, and she is a demon who has been trained to the point where she can transform. It stands to reason that her demon power is naturally higher than that of the little fox. After all, the little fox cannot even transform.
If you let the banshee fight the little fox, the victory will be weak.
After much deliberation, in the end, the black cat is the most suitable.
So in the next five minutes, everyone saw a black cat and a red fox fighting in the field.
Although the little fox was able to grow in size, it did not change. Instead, it remained about the same size as the black cat. The two fur **** started fighting back and forth.
Without any mana, the two furry dumplings were really close to each other.
The little fox first kicked the black cat in the face with a fox kick, then turned around and was hit in the head with a meow punch.
Anyway, the two furballs were not in a life-or-death relationship, so they fought back and forth, but they avoided hurting each other. However, the little fox subconsciously increased his speed, trying to use acceleration to interfere with Abe Rensuke's sight, so that he could not see clearly what he was doing. How many moves were used.
But this method seems to be of no use.
The five minutes ended quickly. The little fox and the black cat separated. The black cat jumped on Abe Rensuke's shoulder and meowed at the little fox. The little fox rolled his eyes at it:
“Tell me, how many moves did the two of us use in total?”
“478.” Rensuke Abe said, “You two fought back and forth, with the same number of moves.”
"Okay, you are awesome, you got the answer right." After the little fox finished speaking, he said again, "You are the best performer. Congratulations on becoming my champion."
I don’t know why, but when the little fox said the word champion, he felt quite proud.
But in fact, this is just a temporary competition venue that Shen Yueran put together out of desperation to delay time.
Shen Yueran watched the game inside end, so he sent someone to pick up Jinsuke Abe and announced to everyone:
“The first competition is over. I believe you all know the rankings based on scores and clearance time, so I won’t announce them all again.”
“After tonight, let’s have a good meal and have a day off tomorrow. We will set off to the second competition venue early the day after tomorrow. The gatekeeper boss at the second competition venue is very unique because she is half human and half ghost.”
“I wonder if you are interested in comparing.”
As soon as Hezha heard this, he immediately spoke:
"Of course it's a competition! In this first competition, I was careless, and I was played by you, but you won't be so lucky next time."
“So what if you’re half human and half ghost? That must be my home court, and you will all be defeated by me.”
As soon as Hezha said it, he accepted it for everyone.
Others felt that something was not right. After all, their goal in coming to the Dragon Kingdom this time was to deal with the Qingzhu Immortal Lord. How could they be stymied by this kind of childish competition created by Shen Yueran?
However, when Shen Yueran proposed that she compete with them on behalf of Pei Anzhu, they did not object and allowed Shen Yueran to create such a competition venue.
Then a competition, rankings and scores were used to differentiate the community of interests of the five of them.
Others are okay. Melissa is soft-tempered, Abe is cold-tempered, and they are not willing to fight for it. Kuhe is a monk and is not so utilitarian. Anne is very strong and does not need to prove anything.
Only Heza fell into Shen Yueran's delaying plan.
Originally, these five people were connected by Heza, and he had always vaguely thought that he was the leader of these five people, and the most powerful one, but he did not expect that now there are three people with higher scores than him.
How should Heza, who has always had a strong desire to win and lose, endure this?
So, when Shen Yueran said that the second game would be held the day after tomorrow, He Zha was eager to find the place and immediately agreed without consulting other people.
Having agreed to the second game, it will naturally be a competition. In other words, everyone's plan to compete with Qingzhu Immortal Lord will be postponed again.
This incident made Shen Yueran very happy. She was even a little grateful to Heza now. This kind of person couldn't stand the excitement and fell into the trap easily.
Shen Yueran looked at Officer Du and saw Officer Du quietly giving her a thumbs up, saying:
Well done!
