When the eastern horizon turns white, the sunlight is blocked by lush branches, and the shadows are as thick as curtains.
Someone stood in the shadows, chewing a piece of bread in silence.
The rumble of trucks passing by came from the viaduct. Under the bridge was a sealed path, covered with withered weeds, sand, soil and rocks. There were also two miserable ruts like ravines, and several shocking craters. .
The thick blood had already solidified in the soil, mixed with some kind of sticky substance, and had become mottled and black.
There was a white Volkswagen parked there in the distance that had not been towed away.
"Were you killed?"
The man squatted down and looked at the pool of blood. He stuck his head out like a hound and smelled the smell carefully: "Well, it's the smell of those investigators. No wonder they were still killed even after the distortion. There were no traces of fighting at the scene. , it should have been killed instantly. The person who took action was very strong, at least a fourth-level sublimator."
"Well, there is also a woman's smell. The perfume she uses is good. She should smell like an elegant and cool lady? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I like beautiful women the most, Chi Liu..."
He licked his lips and murmured to himself: "Yes, but even if these two people are present, I can escape unscathed. It seems that Li Changzhi should not be allowed to come here to test. It seems that he is just trying to scare the snake."
The man swallowed the last piece of bread and came to the front of the white Volkswagen.
The car glass was broken, so he stuck his head in and smelled the smell of the car carefully.
"Well, it has the aura of a boy. He seems pretty good-looking? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I like good-looking men the most."
He let out a perverted chirp and said with a smile, "Oh, he's still a little guy who hasn't awakened yet."
Under the sunlight, the man's shadow trembled, suppressing his hoarse laughter.
"Who would have thought that Professor Gu's son is still an unawakened little guy?"
The man laughed and said: "Hahaha, I thought that boy was so powerful, he kept me on guard for so long."
With a bang, he punched the front hood of the car and gritted his teeth.
"If I had known this earlier, I might as well have done it myself!"
The man gritted his teeth: "There is no one watching here. Maybe the people from the Tribunal deliberately gave me clues to lure me out. It doesn't matter, as long as I get the key, I will be safe."
After a long silence, he laughed softly again, his laughter strange and crazy.
"It's okay, let's take our time, uncle is waiting for you at your school."
He turned and left.
At the last moment, a distorted and weird clown's face was reflected on the car glass.

Gu Jianlin silently opened the express box in the room, looking a little melancholy.
"Just use the airplane cup. It's better than being exposed."
He locked the door and fiddled with the express box containing the spiritual secret medicine.
Good guy, the cover of the express box also has the image of Taixu’s black lace maid printed on it, and it’s also a two-dimensional cute version, with her plump and white breasts ready to pop out, and she also spits out a love heart mischievously.
Coupled with this shape, it is indeed easy to think wrongly.
Thinking of the way the girl looked at him just now, he suddenly felt that he was beyond love.
After breakfast, the brother and sister started their own lives again.
Su Youzhu took a shower and put on makeup as usual, then tinkered with various clothes in her room, and then took some beautiful photos and posted them on her social media. It is said that she also received a lot of advertisements.
Gu Jianlin once estimated that she receives an average of ten advertisements every month, and each one costs 3,000 yuan.
It can only be said that she is an invisible little rich woman.
In contrast, the only way he can get odd jobs is to work as a game booster, working hard to make orders, and sometimes encountering situations where he avoids orders. After deducting my own living expenses, I still have about one or two thousand yuan that I can send to my mother.
This is also the reason why he can stay in this home with peace of mind.
He doesn't want to be a dragster and doesn't want to live and eat for free.
"Take the spiritual secret medicine first, and then take a good rest."
Even though Gu Jianlin had eaten breakfast, the hunger deep in his soul was still tormenting him.
Coupled with not sleeping all night, my mental state was worrying.
He opened the box and took out the three reagents inside.
In addition, there is also a bracelet used to detect one's own spirituality.
——Spirituality is to the sublime what food is to humans.
It is also the source of transcendence.
"Common Knowledge of Sublimators" records that everyone with sublimation qualifications has spirituality in his body after witnessing that world for the first time, so he can sense the inheritance path and complete awakening.
Whether it is to advance or to use extraordinary abilities, spirituality is required.
The upper limit of spiritual accumulation determines your advancement.
The spirituality within your body is what you rely on when fighting.
When Gu Jianlin used the fire of divine sacrifice before, he consumed spiritual energy!
But how to accumulate spirituality is a difficult problem.
In addition to sitting and meditating, it is a constant battle to increase the upper limit of accumulation by consuming and accumulating again.
And the simplest and crudest method is spiritual secret medicine!
This kind of thing is probably similar to the test-tube oral liquid available in pharmacies. The glass bottle contains dark cyan liquid, and it even shines like a star, revealing an inexplicable aura.
There is obviously no smell, but it seems to be filled with a rich, sweet scent like a sweet spring.
He swallowed subconsciously.
As if a thirsty desert traveler finally saw an oasis, even his soul was restless.
Dry throat and secretion of saliva.
Gu Jianlin had an indescribable urge to drink these three bottles of reagents immediately.
Even the shadow of the black unicorn reflected on the dark computer screen suddenly raised its head.
The golden vertical pupils were full of hunger and thirst.
Gu Jianlin had a hunch that this spiritual secret medicine might be the key to alleviating hunger!
He used the ancient divine language in the ancient tomb, which caused his own weakness and hunger.
So of course, we should replenish our spirituality!
However, he was still very cautious and took a look at the formula first.
"Ingredients for CMJ No. 113 reagent: the essence of ancient spirituality, the resin of the millipede tree, the petals of the bloody Manzhushahua, the fallen essence, the scales of the Qilin clan, and the 10,000-year-old bone meal of the sublime."
This ingredient looks chilling.
And each ingredient is not measured, which is probably the secret of the alchemists.
After Gu Jianlin had replenished the knowledge of the sublime, he also realized the importance of the spiritual secret medicine. Every advancement in the inheritance path requires this medicine to assist, otherwise he would have to wait for the level to be stuck.
Therefore, alchemists are the most popular among all inheritance paths.
"The alchemist in the five-person group of tomb robbers is an alchemist. No wonder he is so respected as an inheritance path with basically no combat effectiveness. It is also mentioned in "General Knowledge of Sublimators" that sublimators from ancient times to the present They all have a consensus, that is, they will never kill alchemists." Gu Jianlin touched his chin and analyzed.
At this time, his cell phone suddenly vibrated with a call.
Gu Jianlin put down the secret medicine and answered the phone: "Hey, I'm listening."
On the phone, Lu Zicheng's half-smiling voice sounded: "Oh? You answered the call so quickly? I thought you were taking the secret potion at this time and didn't have time to answer the phone."
Gu Jianlin was stunned: "It's just what I need, how did you know?"
Lu Zicheng replied calmly: "It's nothing, because no ascendant can refuse the temptation of promotion. When I got the first spiritual secret medicine, I couldn't wait to swallow it. You are quite restrained."
Gu Jianlin didn't say anything. He had always been like this.
Lu Zicheng continued: "Is your secret spiritual medicine No. CMJ113?"
Gu Jianlin said: "Yes."
"Well, it seems that those guys are not too outrageous."
Lu Zicheng sneered and said: "There is a saying. This model is currently the best secret medicine for beginners of sublimation. However, the stock is about to bottom out, and it will be out of print in the future."
Gu Jianlin asked curiously: "Why?"
"Because the alchemist who made this version of the secret medicine is no longer in the Aether Association."
Lu Zicheng did not delve too deeply into this topic, but said: "I am here to remind you that your assessment trial is suspended. Do not try to track the clown, and do not inquire about him. Next, you Just follow the steps and go to school honestly. Remember to carry alchemy weapons with you for self-defense."
Gu Jianlin was puzzled: "What's going on?"
Lu Zicheng couldn't tell him the truth.
Once the trial court finds out that he revealed the purpose behind the assessment, it will be very troublesome.
And this young man may not be obedient.
"Don't ask, it's just that there is something wrong with the assessment task. The clown is not something you can deal with. Give me two days and I will help you downgrade the difficulty of the task. You only need to participate symbolically and protect yourself."
Lu Zicheng said in an unquestionable tone: "Understood?"
Gu Jianlin was silent. Anyway, this guy was stronger than him, so he couldn't refute.
"okay, I get it."
Lu Zicheng hummed and hung up the phone with satisfaction.
In the room, Gu Jianlin felt baffled as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you can pass the assessment.
He is not a competitive person. He has just become an ascendant. The most important thing should be development.
Gu Jianlin sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting his breathing and relaxing.
Then he uncorked three bottles of spiritual secret medicine in one breath. They still had no smell, but were sweet and fragrant.
Like the most delicious food in the world!
Gu Jianlin could no longer suppress his hunger and thirst, and the black unicorn reflected on the computer screen almost roared.
He is so hungry!
Each bottle of spiritual elixir is only 50ml.
For zero-level sublimators, the amount of three spiritual secret medicines is just right.
Gudu.
Gu Jianlin swallowed all three bottles of secret medicine, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
According to the steps in "Common Knowledge for Sublimators", it is best to take the spiritual secret medicine in a quiet place, then close your eyes and meditate, perceive the extraordinary world, visualize the image of the inheritance path, and guide the spiritual flow throughout the body.
The world fell silent.
A lot of spirituality poured into his body!
Gu Jianlin's mind went dark, and he allowed his perception to sublimate, imagining his own extraordinary image.
However, the next moment, he was stunned.
His spiritual world was pitch black, like a desolate and silent universe, without any sound.
His own extraordinary image appeared in the darkness. It was a thin and slender young man, with a pale flame burning on his forehead, wearing loose white sacrificial clothes, and countless black spells spreading like living creatures.
That's himself.
In addition, there is a huge creature in the depths of darkness.
It was a pitch-black unicorn, with a pair of horns on its head, an ancient and majestic face covered with bony protrusions, a pair of burning golden vertical pupils, and its black scales opening and closing, emitting a billowing gloomy ghostly aura.
Although it is another creature, it is also himself!
No matter in human form or unicorn form, they are both sick and extremely weak.
Gu Jianlin could only feel that there was a weak spirituality left in the two of them.
Like a star in the dark night, extremely faint.
At the same time, countless threads of spirituality, flowing like a clear stream, spread from the darkness.
It is colorless and odorless, as clear and cold as water, nourishing the endless barren darkness.
Gu Jianlin concentrated his mind and guided the spiritual energy to flow into his body and infiltrate his whole body.
Unexpectedly, just for a moment, the black unicorn raised its golden vertical pupils, roared, and took a sharp breath.
boom!
All the spirituality flowing like a stream was swallowed up by it.
Gu Jianlin: "..."
He didn't know what was going on. Logically speaking, spirituality should be guided to himself.
But now, they are all swallowed up by the black unicorn.
But he felt that the hunger suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief after a long drought!
After the black unicorn devoured those spiritual beings, it was obvious that its condition had recovered a lot. Although it still looked sickly, there was a trace of energy in those ancient and majestic golden vertical pupils.
Spirit flowed through His body like water, soaking His body.
The next moment, it breathed out again, and the sweet and fragrant spirituality spewed out like mist.
All sprinkled on his own extraordinary image.
Gu Jianlin's own image as a priest was also spiritually nourished, just like blood washing through his blood vessels, flowing up and down his body, making him feel fuller and more comfortable than ever before.
At this moment, he realized something.
Whether it is the black unicorn form or his own human form, the spirituality gained is half!
One hundred and fifty ml of the secret medicine was absorbed evenly!
"Why it came out like this?"
Gu Jianlin didn't quite understand why.
After a long time, both of his extraordinary images were infiltrated, absorbing all the spirituality.
The black unicorn fell asleep in his mind again.
The young priest was still awake, with a pair of dark eyes looking down indifferently.
The darkness shattered.
Gu Jianlin opened his eyes suddenly, and his body was soaked with sweat before he knew it.
But I don’t feel weak or tired, but in high spirits!
"Why does the black unicorn swallow half of the spiritual secret medicine? If it is like this every time, doesn't it mean that my advancement speed is almost twice as slow as others?"
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a second, then raised his right hand, and the fire of the divine sacrifice suddenly appeared!
Spirituality surges out and burns rapidly!
It was at this moment that he froze.
The dark computer screen reflected his strange and indifferent image in a white sacrificial robe with spells all over his body.
The five fingers of his right hand were burning with pale will-o'-the-wisps.
At the same time, there was an ancient and ferocious unicorn shadow behind him, and it also raised its right paw covered with black scales.
Five clusters of pale will-o'-the-wisps burned brightly on the pitch-black and sharp claws of the lin.
The two silhouettes merged together silently!
Gu Jianlin looked at his right hand again. The five clusters of will-o'-the-wisps burning in his right hand had doubled in size from before!
I see!
He is the black unicorn, and he is also the priest.
He uses abilities, both at the same time.
Although it will consume more resources, the ability seems to be twice as strong as ordinary people!
This is a dual core driver!
