Song Ye wiped a handful on his broken bellyband, then brought it to his fingertips and smelled it.
"You guessed it right, it's monster blood." Song Ye said with a solemn expression after distinguishing it.
And Shen Qian went deeper into the ruins, and after a while he turned back and held a brick that was also stained with blood in his hand.
"The blood stains extended into the garbage dump."
Shen Qian frowned and said, "Can Captain Song tell what kind of monster it is?"
"I don't have the ability."
Song Ye shook his head, and then said with some annoyance, "I have a police warrior who has been certified as a 'Hunter' by the Martial Arts Association. If he is here, he may be able to see something."
"'Hunter'?" Shen Qian asked curiously after hearing a new term.
"Similar to the pharmacist, it is a professional badge that must pass a special assessment to be certified. With the status of a hunter, you can enter and exit the restricted area relatively freely." Song Ye explained.
"Ah, my aunt is a hunter. I remember that she used to have a lot of information about restricted areas and monsters in her room!" Huo Ling'er interjected.
Shen Qian's heart moved and he asked, "Can you contact your aunt? Why don't you ask her?"
Huo Ling'er nodded, took a short video of the blood stains on the bricks, and then made a phone call.
After communicating with a pleasant female voice on the other end of the phone, Huo Ling'er hung up the phone and walked back.
"My aunt said that there are not many monsters whose blood can emit fragrance. Generally, the strength can be judged by the richness of the fragrance. Our fragrance is relatively weak, so the level of the monster will not be too high."
"What level is it if it's not too high?" Shen Qian relaxed a little, took out the concentrated soy milk and took a sip.
"Probably between level X and level W." Huo Ling'er said.
"puff!"
Shen Qian sprayed a mouthful of soy milk on Huo Ling'er's mask.
In alphabetical order, X level is also two levels higher than Z level, and W level is three levels higher.
You...your aunt doesn't think that's a good thing?
Shen Qian glanced at Song Ye, whose face turned ugly, and knew that he was not overreacting.
"Team Song, X-level monsters are at least as strong as a novice warrior and a high-level warrior, right?" Shen Qian confirmed.
"Yes, according to our internal operation manual for police warriors, X-level monsters generally require the dispatch of two to three high-level warriors. If it is a W-level monster, there must be an intermediate warrior present."
"Ah, what should we do?" Huo Ling'er panicked a little after hearing this.
"It's okay. You, Teacher Chen and Director Zhao, are both middle martial artists. Since this unknown monster has left traces of blood, it means that it is also injured. They will definitely be able to handle it." Song Ye analyzed calmly.
Shen Qian thought so, but to be on the safe side, he took out his bracelet and sent a message to Liu Changqing.
Song Ye took out his walkie-talkie to inform others. At the same time, he also took out the baton from his waist and walked cautiously into the ruins.
Seeing Liu Changqing's delay in replying, Shen Qian remembered the other party's instructions, so he stopped waiting and walked into the ruins with Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er became inexplicably nervous again and hugged Shen Qian's arm tightly.
Shen Qian glanced at her and saw that her fear was not fake, so he swallowed what he was saying.
…
Above the sky, the storm was raging, Liu Changqing stood in the air, frowning and looking ahead.
Boom!
A bolt of thunder flashed across the clouds, illuminating the walking figure.
The person who came was wearing a black robe and was about thirty years old. He had a careless smile on his face and was full of mischief.
"Nie Han, you haven't died in the Northeast yet!" Liu Changqing looked at the visitor and sneered.
"Liu Changqing, you are still single!" Nie Han said with a smile.
Liu Changqing's face instantly darkened, "Are you looking for death?"
"Your qi-raising skills are still so bad. It seems you haven't succeeded in finding the path yet."
Nie Han shook his head, "In this case, it would be less fun to blow you up."
"What are you doing in Jingcheng?" Liu Changqing asked, narrowing his eyes without answering.
"Take care of your junior brother, so that you don't get poisoned by someone before you grow up." Nie Han lowered his head and glanced at the garbage dump at his feet.
Liu Changqing also lowered his head and glanced at the ground, then raised his head knowingly, "No wonder the teacher never mentioned him, so he joined your side."
"Why, you're surprised?" Nie Han said with a smile, "Obviously you are a genius in Jingcheng, but you were poached by us. How do you feel?"
"hehe."
Liu Changqing sneered, "I'm afraid you don't know. Three years ago, he knelt under the Tower of Babel for a day and a night, but the teacher pretended not to see it."
Nie Han was startled, frowned and said, "Seriously?"
"Can I lie?" Liu Changqing was disdainful.
"Why?" Nie Han frowned and murmured, "Why didn't Marquis Jingcheng accept him?"
"It means he is useless." Liu Changqing shrugged.
"Hahaha, you call a peerless genius who has achieved martial arts breakthrough at the age of sixteen a waste?" Nie Han said with a smile, "You are not ashamed of your words."
"But that's the fact. Only you, Meiyuan, can collect garbage."
Liu Changqing smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about everyone in Meiyuan... they are all rubbish."
Nie Han's face turned cold, "Jiang Huan blocked the gate of Beidu the day before yesterday. Today, I will save face for the teacher."
boom!
Hundreds of meters of clouds gathered into a sharp sword and chopped off Liu Changqing's head.
…
The abandoned garbage dump was wider than Shen Qian had imagined. They had already walked hundreds of meters, but they still didn't see anyone.
"Strange, where has everyone gone?"
Shen Qian frowned and walked to the top of a pile of rubble to look into the center of the garbage dump, but Zhao Hanhai and Chen Feng were nowhere to be seen.
"Shen Qian, there is movement over there!"
Huo Linger, who was following Shen Qian, pointed to the right front.
Shen Qian also heard the sound of fighting. He led Huo Ling'er forward and rounded a corner where abandoned cars were piled up. An open space appeared in front of him.
In the middle of the open space, there are three figures fighting together. Two of them are wearing tattered clothes, their skin is a strange purple color, and they have bulging blood vessels. Their faces are hideous and terrifying. They are scavengers.
The other person was Zhou Xiaoguang.
Standing at the edge of the clearing were Zheng Shaoyang and two other students from the training class, but they did not participate in the battle.
"Shen Qian, have you come in?" The other two people saw that Shen Qian didn't give him a good look, and Zheng Shaoyang took the initiative to say hello.
Shen Qian nodded slightly and observed the battle situation again. Judging from the interaction between speed and strength, the two scavengers were probably in the first to second level of novice warriors.
Zhou Xiaoguang already had wounds on his body, which showed that it was not easy to deal with it.
"Why don't you help?" Shen Qian asked strangely.
"Zhou Xiaoguang refused to let him go." Zheng Shaoyang said with a bitter smile, "He wanted to take the opportunity to break through the warriors."
Shen Qian glanced at Zhou Xiaoguang in surprise, not expecting that the other party was still so determined.
When the strength and speed reach the limit of one's physical ability, one can search for the sense of Qi and break through the warrior in one fell swoop.
This process is also called "Naling Linghua Yuan" in textbooks, that is, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into oneself and turning it into vitality.
Among the several ways recognized as the most effective, there is the actual combat of life and death.
But very few, at least for student parties, will take this path, and generally there is no such opportunity.
"I'm thinking about my classmates, and it wouldn't be good for us to leave like this, so I'm just waiting here in case there's anything I can do to help." Zheng Shaoyang explained.
As soon as Zheng Shaoyang finished speaking, a classmate next to him suddenly exclaimed. When several people looked up, they saw one of the scavengers hugging Zhou Xiaoguang's leg.
Zhou Xiaoguang punched wildly, and the scavenger was beaten until he vomited blood, but he didn't let go at all.
At this time, another scavenger had already taken out a short knife with a cold light and roared towards Zhou Xiaoguang.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Qian noticed something and stopped Zheng Shaoyang and others who were about to rush forward.
"What are you doing? Zhou Xiaoguang is in danger!" One person shouted angrily and pushed Shen Qian away. He just took a few steps but was stunned.
A small cyclonic storm suddenly appeared above Zhou Xiaoguang's head. As the storm gathered, little colorful lights appeared out of thin air in the surrounding air, all of which were absorbed by the cyclone.
"Aura?" Several people were stunned.
Shen Qian carefully observed Zhou Xiaoguang's breakthrough process, trying not to miss any detail.
If nothing else, his breakthrough day is not far away. These are all experiences...
I don’t know if the system recorded it or not.
At the last second when the scavenger blade approached, Zhou Xiaoguang suddenly shouted loudly, and the cyclone above his head sank into his body. He trembled slightly, his legs swelled, and he was freed from the restraints almost instantly.
boom! boom!
With two crisp punches, the two scavengers were knocked away.
Seeing the two scavengers languishing on the ground vomiting blood, Zheng Shaoyang and others all applauded.
Zhou Xiaoguang's clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes were stern, as if all the recent depression had been swept away.
He stared at Shen Qian with an unfriendly expression, "You didn't let them take action just now. Do you want to see my joke, or... do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"You're not very smart." Shen Qian chuckled, not bothering to explain.
"you……"
Zhou Xiaoguang, who had successfully gathered his energy and was bursting with confidence, was about to have an attack when a rapid sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded from behind him.
Shen Qian's eyes narrowed, and in the next moment he appeared next to Zhou Xiaoguang, who looked dazed, and knocked him away before he could react.
Zhou Xiaoguang, who landed in a panic, looked up and saw that Shen Qian was already entangled with another white shadow.
laugh!
With the sound of splitting, Shen Qian retreated quickly and distanced himself from the white figure.
The white shadow fell on a broken wooden barrel, revealing its true appearance.
It is about the same size as a tiger and leopard, but looks like a cat. It has blue pupils and silver-white hair, and its appearance is extremely beautiful.
But the red claws on its limbs were a full forty centimeters long, flashing with a cold light that sent chills down one's spine.
All this happened in a flash of lightning. At this time, everyone came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Xiaoguang's pupils contracted violently, and after replaying the scene in his mind, he already knew what had happened. For a moment, his eyes looked at Shen Qian with a particularly complicated look.
At the same time, there was an incredible sense of trance.
It didn't matter that he couldn't detect the sneak attack of this monster, but he didn't even see Shen Qian's movements clearly.
How can this be?
After seeing the ranking of Kyushu Martial Arts Hall, he had realized that Shen Qian had hidden some strength, but...
It's too different from what he imagined, right?
This was after he broke through and the warrior's strength skyrocketed!
Zhou Xiaoguang said he could not accept it.
call out!
There was a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and a figure swept over the ruins from a distance, and then landed heavily in the middle of the open space.
He stood in front of Shen Qian and stared at the big cat with a solemn expression.
Wow!
Another burst of messy footsteps sounded, and Zhao Hanhai and other students from the training class rushed over. Farther away, Song Ye and others were escorting some scavengers.
"Finally I found you, no one was hurt, right?" Zhao Hanhai glanced at Shen Qian and others, then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chen Feng had arrived in time, and nodded to the other party to thank him.
Chen Feng was confused in his heart. He knew that he didn't arrive in time, but there didn't seem to be any serious casualties.
"Squad leader Chen, what kind of monster is this?" Shen Qian asked.
"The bloodline originates from the silver-gradient layer of the cat family. The scientific name after the mutation is 'Silver-Ranged Beast'. It is a W-class monster. Its individual strength is comparable to that of a peak warrior." Chen Feng briefly introduced it.
Class W!
A warrior at the pinnacle!
No wonder.
Shen Qian glanced at the long slit in his protective suit. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have been disemboweled by now.
"Senior, can you handle it?"
"No problem. This silver dye beast is still in the growth stage, and one of its legs is injured, so its strength is not at its peak." Chen Feng nodded.
Shen Qian looked carefully, and sure enough, there was a ferocious penetrating wound on one of the hind claws of the silver dye beast, and dark red blood was still flowing at this moment.
After Shen Qian retreated, Chen Feng's vitality surged around him, and a strong wind instantly set off in the open space.
All the students were amazed.
"Ninth-level martial artist, so strong!"
The Yin Ran Beast also felt threatened. It lowered its body, the hair on its body exploded, and kept baring its teeth at Chen Feng.
boom!
With a sonic boom out of thin air, Chen Feng left a trail of afterimages in mid-air and punched the Silver-Dyeing Beast.
A whine sounded, and Yinranmon, who was unable to dodge, was punched away and fell into a pile of bricks.
Chen Feng rushed over quickly, and just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Stay away from my cat."
boom!
The dull sound of gunfire rang out, and Chen Feng, who was maintaining his forward posture, turned over violently, but still did not avoid it. A ball of blood mist exploded from his left leg.
Chen Feng groaned, hugged his legs and fell to the ground. His face instantly turned pale, and big beads of sweat were flowing down his forehead.
The sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment.
Shen Qian suddenly turned his head and saw a young man wrapped in tight black clothes standing on a broken wall dozens of meters away.
He was holding a gorgeous silver-white pistol with red light in his hand. He was slowly retracting the muzzle of the gun and looking down at everyone condescendingly.
This young man has red lips, white teeth, and sharp eyebrows. He looks very elegant and very familiar.
When Shen Qian was thinking about where he had met the other party, Zhou Xiaoguang had already shouted out.
"Wang...Wang Shuo?"
This shout reminded everyone of the other party's identity.
The boy in front of him is a legend who represented Jingcheng in the National Youth Martial Arts Competition last year.
His photos have appeared in newspapers, TV and news in Jingcheng more than once.
He is the pride of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, the child of other people’s families in the eyes of countless parents in Jingcheng...
Wang Shuo.
