Barrier of Light

The monsoon wind from the ice sea arrived at the South Cave of Sangzhou Cave. It was covered with clouds and stuck with mountain ash.

The impact of the beast tide seems to have weakened.

Because the ground shaking in Sangzhou Cave is no longer so strong...

It started to rain lightly from the sky.

The two people in the barrier looked at each other in the thousands of falling raindrops. Gu Shen would remember the red dragon's eyes at this moment for a long time to come.

There was a gentle and decisive smile hidden deep in the eyes of this Tower of Source divine envoy.

If you choose to burn——

We would like to be your ember.

The blazing fire between the eyebrows seemed to have heard these words and understood the deeper meaning, and it beat slowly.

"Okay... time is running out."

The red dragon laughed softly and said: "The source of the ice sea has changed, and the storm may be coming back."

Gu Shen's expression became serious.

"The storm is coming back?"

The Holy City's retreat, the southward stationing of Sangzhou Cave, all the origins of this mission came from the departure of the Storm God Seat from the continent.

Once the throne returns.

These storm cultists will change their faces!

"Well...this is the result of divination."

Red Dragon said calmly: "Although 'divination' cannot peek into the fire, it can peek into the future of the saints in the Holy City. But you don't have to worry, everything in Sangzhou Cave will end before the storm returns."

Gu Shen's brows furrowed as he repeated the last two words with some uncertainty.

"Finish?"

"As you can see, a large amount of volcanic ash has filled the Sangzhou Cave. In fact, the Tower of Source is also exploring what the power inside [Tan Yao] is. Unfortunately, there are too many unsolved mysteries in this world. Even if it is clear, I have lived for a hundred years, and there are many secrets that I don’t understand... A hundred years is a long time, but in human history, it is also very short." Red Dragon said: "Mr. Yan used the 'prophecy' to see the ice sea and the fate of Sangzhou Cave."

"What did Mr. Yan see?"

"Darkness, ultimate darkness... You are also a fortune teller yourself. You should know what this darkness means." Red Dragon pressed the hilt of the knife, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly: "If Mr. Yan's prediction is correct, Sangzhou Cave In the end there will be destruction.”

"..."

Gu Shen didn't respond and fell into deep thought.

When Red Dragon mentioned divination, he remembered an event from the not-too-distant past.

"There is not much time left now, you need to do something quickly."

The red dragon's voice interrupted Gu Shen's thoughts.

Gu Shen raised his head: "What's the matter?"

The first divine envoy of the Tower of Source pondered for a few seconds and asked slowly: "This matter is somewhat risky. I don't know how strong you will be after your promotion... Are you sure you can defeat the injured Suzaku?"

Gu Shen's eyes lit up.

"The beast tide is attacking Sifang City. Both the Tower of Source and Guangming City are busy returning to defense. A large amount of volcanic ash has blocked the [Deep Sea] inspection, and even the 'authority' is no longer effective... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. .”

Red Dragon smiled and said: "If possible, I actually want to take action. It's just that for this mission, I have 'authority'. As long as I get close to Suzaku, [Yunjing] will generate a response."

When Suzaku was beaten by Jia Wei, Gu Shen lay dormant the whole time - if his guess was correct, this guy should have been stabbed twice and suffered serious injuries, and his mental and physical strength were no longer at their peak!

Gu Shen likes and is best at picking things up and killing people.

"I need detailed data on Suzaku."

But he still maintained the greatest degree of caution: "If you want to ensure nothing goes wrong, you must be fully prepared."

"Didn't you already test out his trump card in Beiling, Area E0?"

Red Dragon smiled faintly and said: "The strongest trump card of the Four Divine Envoys is the quasi-S-level card... But he has just broken through, comprehended the dual realm, and has the characteristics of 'elementation'. If you want to kill him, We must use an attack method that directly breaks the 'elementalization'."

As he spoke, he took out the dagger and the scabbard from his waist.

"If you don't have a suitable weapon... I can lend you my 'Pomo'. If you use this sword to directly attack the weakness of the ability owner, you can ignore the 'elementalization', but you must wait for the final blow before drawing the sword out of its sheath. "

Generous.

Too generous.

But Gu Shen didn't want it.

"You don't have to... deal with 'elementalization', I have my own way."

Gu Shen didn't take the red dragon's short sword for two reasons. One was that the sword was too conspicuous, and once it was unsheathed, the red dragon's identity might be exposed. The other was that it was too expensive. It was just their first meeting, and he couldn't pick it up and didn't want to. .

"You don't need to use your knife to kill Suzaku. Be prepared to mourn for him. I guarantee that the Tower of Source will not even find Suzaku's body."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "By the way... I can also help with the other two divine envoys if necessary."

"Didn't you notice before that you are so murderous?"

Red Dragon said helplessly: "Killing the divine envoys is not a trivial matter. The risks are high and the benefits are small... Even if you kill all the current divine envoys in the Source Tower, they can still find new successors, and the priest system will not be affected at all. of shaking."

Suzaku, Yunhu, Xuanwu...

Even the strongest red dragon is not irreplaceable.

They climbed up from thousands of people and became "god envoys", proving their potential to the Tower of Source.

And the Tower of Source will give back its "god-level" resources!

In this way, the fundamental reason why Suzaku and the others became divine envoys was actually the rich heritage accumulated by the Tower of Source over the years...

"They are dead, but the status tablets are still there. The position of the God's Envoy is still there."

Red Dragon said seriously: "So... killing one Suzaku is enough. If you kill him, for me, the next task will be much easier. When Gu Xiaoman is received, the Tower of Source will withdraw Sangzhou Cave.”

At this point, he paused.

"It is recommended that Dongzhou also seizes the time to leave... The second discussion at the World Conference is almost over. Before the Storm God Seat rushes back to South Continent, the Four Continents Council can complete the 'pressure'. You want to be the 'neutral' Take them all away, right?”

Gu Shen nodded.

"The Tower of Source will lead people away first - this will be a breakthrough."

The red dragon cast a "do you understand what I mean" look at Gu Shen.

Of course Gu Shen understands.

Once a rule is broken, it is no longer a rule.

The Tower of Source has a transcendent status in the Five Continents, so it often needs to do this kind of thing... But Dongzhou, which has received the signal, does not need to make too many preparations. It only needs to follow the Tower of Source to make a "breakthrough"!

The conversation between the two came to an end, and the red dragon gave Gu Shen the location of Suzaku and a final reminder.

"Remember, [Yunjing]'s authority is very lethal. Suzaku should be in the core area of ​​Tan Yao at this moment. A large amount of volcanic ash can block the 'authority' induction. But once he escapes from the volcanic area, don't chase him. Absolutely It cannot be captured and locked by the power of [Yunjing]... The clear divine power is not something that a mere mortal like you can take over!"

After saying this, the red dragon drifted away.

Apparently he had already planned all the scripts before setting off to the South Cave...

He is now planning to return directly to the East Cave Base Camp to reorganize the lineup of law enforcers in the Source Tower. As for the "emergency rescue" he made with Suzaku, it was just a lie from beginning to end.

He won't go at all.

…

…

After the red dragon left, the red canopy barrier spread out like running water.

Gu Shen received a delayed message in his mind.

"Gu Shen, are you okay?"

"Are you OK?!"

News came one after another from Shen Li, Mu Wanqiu, Chen Mi, Zhuang Su, and Qi Mo.

It seems that Little Iron Man took Mr. Zhuang back to Area S12 smoothly and told his acquaintances about what happened in the deep forest.

Gu Shen didn't have time to reply to all the messages. He just connected to Chen Mi's spiritual link.

"Are you still alive?"

Chen Mo's first sentence was quite direct.

“Alive and well.”

Gu Shen quickly replied: "You don't need to leave the city, and I don't need rescue."

What he is most worried about now is that the little iron man is worried about his own safety and brings the extraordinary power left behind in the city to rush to his side for help.

"..."

On the other side of the spiritual sea, Chen Mo was silent for a few seconds.

"Don't worry, no one will leave the city, and no one will have time to save you."

Chen Mei whispered: "A large number of beasts attacked the East Cave, and nineteen urban areas were in emergency at the same time. The 'poisonous miasma' you laid has been broken through. These beast spirits are completely crazy... Several high walls have been broken through. Currently, there are still The number of urban areas that hold out is shrinking."

Saving Gu Shen is actually a somewhat funny thing——

With Gu Shen's strength, if he is in danger, the only one who can save him is Bai Xiu, Chen Mei!

It’s pointless for others to come!

Hearing this, Gu Shen felt relieved again: "Where's Hu Danian? Has the armored vehicle sent by Dadu arrived?"

"This is the only good news!"

Chen Mei's voice was urgent: "Dadu's armored vehicles arrived just before the beast tide and delivered the latest strong logic materials. Chengxin will complete the city wall coverage of area S12 before the beast tide comes. Currently, the beast tide cannot break through. Area S12, I am busy killing high-level beast spirits——"

"Has the beast tide already arrived at the city?"

Gu Shen looked a little ugly, which meant that he could not use the "Poison of Styx".

Psychological toxins cause widespread damage!

Poisoning on such an occasion will lead to a whole city being buried together!

"All in all, the situation in S12 area is stable, but it's a bit 'busy'. As for what you said about Hu Da before..." Chen Mei frowned and said: "Is he the person in charge of this mission? I didn't see it!"

"..."

Gu Shen was speechless for a while.

Chen Mo suddenly asked: "By the way, Shen Li said that you met a very powerful extraordinary person and set up a special barrier. Who is that person? How did you solve it?"

At this moment, he was activating [Time Slow] and slaughtering the beasts in the city.

Although there is no opponent.

But it kills slowly, in every sense of the word.

The communication with Gu Shen does not require the consumption of the [Time Slow] field.

"It doesn't matter who that person is. Gu Shen and I have already killed 'him'...probably the secret agent of Guangming City."

A calm voice sounded in the link.

Gu Shen turned around.

He saw a small sleeve in white clothes, and a girl in black clothes not far away, standing ignorantly next to the white sleeve.

Gu Xiaoman ended her first "actual combat experience" in her life... It was forced to end due to the sudden outbreak of the beast tide. She was found by Baixiu and was forcibly taken away from the battle. She hid on a tree trunk for a long time before ushering in the battle. The end of the beast tide.

In fact, the reason why this deep forest is quiet is not because the beast tide has stopped, but because the beast spirits have arrived in the city.

Gu Shen and Bai Xiu looked at each other.

Both of them tacitly ignored the "Red Dragon" matter.

"Little Sleeve is here too."

Chen Mo said calmly: "In that case, I'm relieved."

"I'll be back soon..." Bai Xiu said, "As for Gu Shen, he still has things to do."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back in area S12."

After the basic situation was explained, Chen was not completely relieved and the spiritual link was hung up.

At the end of this conversation, Xiaoxiu helped him get an assist. Gu Shen knew... Baixiu had probably talked to Red Dragon before.

"Are you done talking?"

Xiaoxiu glanced at the direction the red dragon was leaving and spoke first: "Congratulations on breaking through."

"We're done talking."

Gu Shen sounded a bit sarcastic, and he said helplessly: "There is nothing worthy of congratulations."

"Do you need my help with what's next?"

Bai Xiu transmitted the message again, but his voice was not enthusiastic: "Killing Suzaku is not a trivial matter. If you are worried about an accident... I can wait outside [Tan Yao]."

This sentence is more sarcastic than the previous sentence.

Gu Shen grinned and said frankly: "If it were before breaking through, I would have called you and you would come and kill me while I watched. But now... if you are willing, you can come with me and I will be responsible for the killing. You are responsible for watching."

"Since you said you can kill it, there's no need for me to go with you. It's just a dead bird, nothing to see."

Bai Xiu lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to kill someone higher up in the future, let's do it together."

This sentence means something...

Those who are stronger than the four divine envoys are naturally not banned.

But the one on the throne of God.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Gu Shen was stunned for a second, then smiled and said, "Okay."

"Brother Gu Shen..."

Gu Xiaoman, who was dressed in black, knew etiquette very well. She waited quietly for the conversation between the two to end before speaking in a low voice.

"I killed thirteen animal spirits..."

The little guy had injuries on his face, and there were bruises all over the black shirt.

"When we got to the back, we didn't use the sealed artifact."

Baixiu's eyes softened. He looked at Gu Xiaoman and added for her: "Xiaoman insisted on taking off the 'Source Armor', so she suffered these injuries... But she won them all and fought beautifully."

When the girl heard the praise, she raised her cheeks and smiled, showing her white teeth.

At this moment, she still had that unfamiliar face.

"Hiss!"

But the next second, Bai Xiu raised his hand, and Gu Xiaoman's veil was lifted off——

In the overall situation of the two continents, he is a firm fighter.

However, after the conversation with the red dragon, he also saw a glimpse of the future...

Bai Xiu knew that he was not strong enough.

At present, he is not able to make a decision like starting a war in his personal capacity on behalf of the people of Dongzhou and the lives of millions of people.

So he gave the final decision-making power to Gu Shen.

And now, he has guessed what Gu Shen and Red Dragon are going to do...

In the clearing of the deep forest, crackling thunder rang out, and the towering body of the Thunder Walker gathered together. He held a thin red veil in his thick hands and presented it to Gu Shen.

"Now that you have finished talking to the red dragon, I will help her take off the [Ghost Veil]."

Gu Shen finally understood why Bai Xiu was not happy when talking to him.

After the conversation with the red dragon, the ghost veil was indeed no longer needed.

When this wave of beasts calms down, the results of the World Conference will come out——

When the time comes, Xiaoman will be taken away by the Tower of Source.

"..."

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated.

He took the red veil and slowly came to Xiao Man. Looking at the girl's smile, he also smiled: "As expected of Xiao Man, you must be tired after fighting for a day, right? You go back to the city first, it won't be long." , I’ll be back.”

"Xiao Man is not tired."

The girl shook her head quickly and said seriously: "But you have to come back soon... I will wait for you at the mansion."

"……good."

Gu Shen stood up and took a deep breath. He looked at his sleeves and wanted to say something.

But before he could say a word, he was interrupted the next second.

"Needless to say, I already know the outcome of your discussion with Red Dragon..."

Baixiu's expression did not change, and he silently transmitted the message: "About the matters about the 'Tower of Source', you should wait until you come back from your work and talk to her in person."
