"What a coincidence, I also know how to deal with you." Ana also did not intend to admit defeat in the verbal dispute, "Since you have declared your family status like this, I would be sorry if I don't catch you and deal with it. Delivered to your door."
"Why be angry? You will find peace after death." Mr. Shao flicked his hands, and a large number of silk threads hung from the tree, and some figures also appeared faintly on the tree.
I don't know when, but all the trees in this small forest were covered with strings, which even looked a little disgusting.
"Ana, they not only want to complete the ritual, they also want to surround those of us who are targeting them." Lu Ning whispered.
"Isn't this obvious? Or do you have any insights?" Ana glanced around.
"Of course, isn't that our chance?"
Lu Ning chuckled. If there was no technical flaw, then he would find it tactically.
Mr. Shao's mastery of "Line" is extraordinary, but at the same time, he is also quite influenced by the "Line" mantra. An overly cautious and meticulous way of action may be safer, but it will take too long.
Ana naturally also has a strong fighting instinct. When she heard Lu Ning's words, she immediately knew what she was thinking. She kicked her legs and her whole body turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Mr. Shao.
A large number of silk threads rolled down from the tree and quickly formed a large spider-like web, which was carried towards Ana. But Ana flicked her fingers slightly, and there was a clicking sound from her elbow. She rubbed it on the wrench. A strong flame was ignited by her, and it hit the net with one blow.
The burnt smell instantly spread out. Mr. Shao frowned and took a step aside. Of course, his net could not be easily burned by ordinary flames, but Ana's fire was not an ordinary flame either. As Lan Tu's capable general, she There are also many useful things in hand.
"The fire is good, why didn't you use it just now?" Lu Ning also came over, and she was not surprised to see Ana's methods.
"Biological fire, my clothes are not fireproof." Ana said a little irritably, "Who knew there would be unexpected surprises when I went out."
"Understood, fight the enemy seriously." Lu Ning dodged to the side and avoided the entanglement of several threads. The threads directed by Mr. Shao are just like his character, careful and conservative. If he tries desperately to press all the lines up, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
Lu Ning cut a few threads with her knife. She had already confirmed that Mr. Shao really knew the weapons from the Axeman restaurant, otherwise he would not cut the threads just right every time. But in this way, her disadvantage of insufficient physical fitness can be covered up. She only needs to protect her body with a kitchen knife and leave the attack to Ana. She only needs to find opportunities to intimidate.
At this time, Ana had already grown horny scythes from her forearms, and she tore the net in front of her in just a few strokes. Lu Ning saw that red streaks had begun to appear faintly on her body, and immediately gave up her position and moved the host. The battlefield is left to Ana.
"Make a web!"
Mr. Shao gave an order, summoned a ball of silk thread with both hands, condensed it into a shuttle, and threw it towards Ana. Ana roared angrily, swung her sickle to knock open the silk shuttle, and rushed towards Mr. Shao regardless of the white threads flying in the sky. Mr. Shao snorted coldly. Under his command, a large number of silk threads condensed into needles and pricked them down. However, they made a muffled sound when they hit Ana and failed to penetrate her skin at all.
At this time, Ana opened her mouth again, her eyes turned into golden vertical pupils in the blink of an eye, and a shocking dragon roar came out of her mouth. Lu Ning had covered her ears early, but the rest of the people He was completely unprepared for this attack. This time it was not a simple shocking attack like before, but a real killing. Even Mr. Shao didn't expect Ana to really have such an attack method, and blood flowed from all her orifices for a while.
But he was calm enough. When everyone on the tree was shocked, he immediately reached out and took over the control of the silk thread. With a swipe of his finger, a large amount of silk thread wrapped around Ana's feet, but when he saw her ankles, But I couldn't help but shudder.
scales.
No matter how many strange changes the followers of Mantra have seen, they still underestimate the wonderful existence outside the world. Ana raised a pair of golden eyes, red markings had rushed onto her face, and most of her dragon characteristics had appeared.
The reference for her transformation was the beasts. The so-called dragon characteristics slowly emerged from the combination of these specialties, and they were quite easy to use. Even Ana herself didn't have this concept. She only had the knowledge that she would become stronger, and Mr. Shao in front of her was just a test for herself to become stronger.
The feet covered with scales stepped on the ground, and the dark red molten fire began to spread along the cracks in the ground. A large number of silk threads began to turn black and curl under the heat of the flames, and Mr. Shao's expression became more solemn.
At this moment, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Mr. Shao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was a person.
"Don't be distracted during the battle." Lu Ning's voice came from the tree. She had already grabbed the second believer's throat. This man had not fully woken up after being stunned. Fortunately, there were some threads on his body connected to the tree. Before he could fall, Lu Ning stabbed him in the chest with a knife, and then kicked him off the tree.
The person who could be brought out by Mr. Shao to ambush was at least a believer who had been cultivating for a period of time. Lu Ning didn't believe that he didn't feel distressed.
Of course, Mr. Shao has no time to care about other people's lives and deaths at this moment. His line control skills are exquisite enough, and he can maintain basically the same status as the half-dragon Ana, but he can't defeat Ana for a while. At the same time, Lu Ning was wandering around in the surrounding trees to kill his people. But because of the kitchen knife, it was impossible for Mr. Shao to use silk thread to restrict Lu Ning's movements.
Another ball of thread was pulled apart by Ana and burned, and the distance between the two had been reduced to less than two meters. Mr. Shao didn't want to compete with a dragon man at all. He opened his fingers and the silk thread behind his back suddenly unfolded, twisted in the air, and aimed at Ana.
"You haven't given up this useless attack yet!" Ana swooped forward, the sickles in both hands were wrapped in fire, tearing apart all the defense threads. Mr. Shao sneered, and with a swipe of his finger, a grid appeared in front of him. Different from the lines used before, these lines were not incinerated in the fire, but only twisted slightly. Ana's With one pounce, it completely hit the grid.
"Wire cutting." Mr. Shao spat out a few cold words, and the thin line suddenly tightened, but it made some dents on Ana's skin.
The offense and defense suddenly froze.
Neither of them expected that the other could withstand their attacks, and neither of them dared to withdraw their strength for a while.
"Then you are the one who loses." Ana grinned, "You are still a little too cautious."
"No, I have succeeded." Mr. Shao clasped his hands together, and the thin line increased its strength again, but Ana also made the scales grow sharper edges, and finally paid the price of getting some blood marks. Finally, she succeeded in breaking the thin thread. At this moment, Mr. Shao's body bounced back again and quickly moved to the treetop. Ana grabbed the air with her paw. When she looked up, she found that Mr. Shao's face had become much paler.
"you……"
"There's something wrong with him, Ana, when will he arrive?"
Since Ana has already mentioned high-intensity patrols before, the patrol team sent by Lan Tu nearby will probably come quickly when they hear the movement here. Moreover, there is Dorothy's command in the center, so the support speed will definitely not be slow. Lu Ning had already killed several people along the tree, but Mr. Shao didn't seem to be really shocked by the deaths of these people.
When would a person who is so meticulous and conservative in his work say the words "already successful"?
Only when things are really done.
Lu Ning jumped down from the tree and slashed at the thread pulling Mr. Shao with his knife. However, Mr. Shao forced a smile and continued to speed up the pulling of the thread, even throwing himself out of the woods.
"He noticed it!"
"I won't let him run away!" Ana shouted, jumped up again, raised a flame with both hands, and swept it towards Mr. Shao, but the dense silk threads in the air withstood the power of the flames instead of Mr. Shao. Mr. Shao pulled in the air, Quickly dodge out of the woods. At this moment, a large number of light bombs were fired into the woods. The bright light illuminated the somewhat dark woods. All the threads and the people hidden in the trees were invisible. Lu Ning was also in the bright light. For a moment, he saw a person standing in the center of the woods.
No, it was a body - he was dead, but he had done his job.
Mr. Shao was originally prepared to give up on these people. Since completing the second task secretly would not work, he might as well make the whole thing bigger and fish in troubled waters. Lu Ning didn't regret it very much. After all, the ambush and interception were not just a show. She and Ana couldn't go in and stop the person who let the snakes, insects, rats and ants go.
"See you later." Mr. Shao said proudly, jumped up a few times with the help of silk thread, and disappeared out of the woods.
A group of heavily armed personnel rushed into the woods. They were holding black equipment that Lu Ning could not tell what purpose it had. They wore full-coverage helmets on their faces and rushed into the woods like a group of mechanized infantry. Ana stamped her feet irritably and planned to continue pursuing, but was stopped by Lu Ning.
"If he wants to leave, then let him go."
"I can already smell the fishy smell from the underground water veins! Lu Ning, these guys will definitely think that we are a bunch of incompetents!"
"If he really dares to think this way, he will be close to death." Lu Ning patted her shoulder, "There are several steps in the ritual. If they use this method now, there will be no room left for them in the future. The consequences this time will not be particularly serious.”
"Isn't the smell of the water serious?" Ana pinched her nose and lowered her sense of smell, "And didn't you say that drinking it would make you sick?"
"Yes, but it doesn't matter if you take precautions in advance. Get back in the car and let these people catch all the guys in the tree. We will contact Lan Tu directly to take a look." Lu Ning said.
"Isn't that the one who keeps the things in there?"
"After he released the poisonous insects, they were useless, and no matter what he released, it would be the same." Lu Ning said, "The key is that he had completed the necessary steps of his ritual and then died. To find such a person, They have probably been planning it for several days, and Mantra believers are not people who are so willing to die."
Ana would still listen to Lu Ning after all. When the two returned to the car, Ana immediately called Lan Tu through her personal channel. There was a sizzling sound from the black box, which soon turned into flames. There was a sense of silence in the sound of burning. Ana paused for about ten seconds before speaking: "Blue team?"
"Ana? It sounds like you opened one level."
Ana quickly took out a water bottle from the side and drank a few sips for herself. Her voice became much clearer, and then she continued: "Blue team, we met a very cunning guy, although he is not a particularly clever guy..."
"I know." Lan Tu smiled gently, "I also met an old woman here."
"Po Yu?" Lu Ning asked hurriedly.
"Is Lu Ning here too? I didn't ask her name. After all, this old woman's lethality leaves no room for greeting her." Lan Tu smiled, "You don't have to worry, there's nothing I can do to stop her. Her only gain was that she saved this old woman’s life.”
"That also killed the instigator..." Ana was still very upset.
"The death of one person cannot change the situation. Lu Ning, what is the subsequent ritual process? How many steps are there? I can make targeted preparations." Lan Tu said.
"Okay, after all, I may not have much time to take care of this aspect in the future." Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "The rituals for the sea, opening the door and sewage have been completed. The next five steps are scavenging and digging holes. , fog, mourning, lights out.”
"There are five more steps ... then we still have a lot of room to work around."
"However, the subsequent steps may not be so easy to discover, because there is no need to define the scope, and their stronghold must be found to destroy their ritual." Lu Ning said, "Of course, there are still special requirements for the execution of the ritual. If If you can find out the flow of certain special materials, you might be able to catch them."
Scavenging can be said to be the most disgusting part of the ritual. Five people are required to eat rotten raw meat of cows, sheep, pigs, fish, and ducks. The eating times must be at 7 a.m., 10 a.m., and 12 noon. , three o'clock in the afternoon and five o'clock in the evening, eating in front of an uninformed person. If you eat the rot of five animals, at five o'clock in the day, you will be amazed and make the sea rise. After the sea breeze blows over the rotten hills, the world will listen to the sound of tides.
"In other words, if we don't stop them from eating the smelly meat, then we will hear the sound of the ocean here?"
"Theoretically, everyone in the base should have a dream about the sea. In the dream, everyone will turn into a ghost ship in the sea." Lu Ning said, "Except for the most powerful people, I think Most people are not immune.”
