From Prisoner to Si Chen

The guards exclaimed.

They may not have seen clearly what was attacking them in the darkness.

Even William only saw a vague outline.

Only Jilan squinted her eyes and saw clearly...

It was a creature the size of a puppy, and its body was very similar to a human baby. It was on all fours, kneeling and crawling. The skin all over its body was pale and smooth, and its head was particularly large and round, but no facial features could be seen.

A hole was opened on the top of its head, and two upright, white, eyeless "thin snakes" emerged from it.

The two snakes formed a "Y" shape and were spitting out letters.

This scene made Gillan easily think of the members of the "Chorus" he had seen at the Imperial Plaza.

Under their masks, there are two thin snakes emerging, and they can also produce orchestral music by spitting messages, giving people a strange feeling.

In Jilan's sight, the word "Beautiful" appeared at the right moment:

"Qiu Shang Familia (young). A born mysterious creature, belonging to the family of the third-year-old 'God of Love'. The power of God flows in the blood and has a strong desire for art."

"This creature has extremely strong plasticity and the ability to learn and imitate. It is an extremely ancient race."

"Huh?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

The Qiu Shang family...

Like Pan?

They are both born mysterious creatures, and they are also descendants of superior beings.

But Jilan didn't quite understand why such a family would appear in the cave at the bottom of the lake.

Paji, paji...

Just hearing a sound, the baby-like pale creature crawled very fast, climbing all the way up the steep and slippery rock wall, and finally hung upside down on the dome.

Suddenly, the two thin white snakes above its head spat out a message.

Two finger-sized liquid bubbles spurted out like bullets, shooting directly towards Ji Lan and his party.

call out--

William reacted very quickly. Although he couldn't see clearly, after hearing the sound of breaking through the air, he immediately drew out the cross sword on his back and slashed forward.

when! !

At the same time, there was a muffled sound beside him.

The other mercenary did not have William's ability and suffered disaster on the spot. His head was directly pierced by the liquid bullet, and he fell down with a sound, and a pool of blood oozed under his head.

"Damn it!" Seeing his companion fall dead, someone cursed in shock and anger. "Tygas and Marais have been killed!"

Bang!

Without saying a word, Ji Lan stepped on his feet and jumped out.

A gray cane suddenly appeared in his hand, which was the new weapon "Laughing Noise".

Puff puff puff puff! !

The larval form of the Autumn Sorrow monster was hanging upside down from the dome, spitting liquid bombs at Jilan through its snake kiss.

The sharp sound of breaking through the air continued.

Jilan raised his hand and flicked it, and the cane danced out of the afterimage. He accurately intercepted the raining liquid bombs with the tip of the cane, making a tinkling sound.

He reached for his waist with his other hand, pulled out the alchemy revolver "Echo", and pulled the trigger toward his head.

Bang bang bang! !

Three shots in a row hit the juvenile monster, leaving three holes on its smooth body surface, splattering translucent gray-white blood.

"Squeak——"

The monster let out a scream, fell from the dome, and hit the wet ground hard.

Bang!

Its vitality is quite tenacious, and it is screaming and twitching endlessly. Even the two thin snakes emerging from the top of the big head kept twisting and turning, which was quite scary.

Ji Lan took three steps, then two, and rushed over. He raised his hand and struck down with a stick.

Phew—pop! !

He struck the monster's head with a heavy blow from his staff, causing mortar to splash out.

At the same time, Gilan flicked his hand and lightly touched the monster.

Colorful light bloomed, and the monster's corpse decayed rapidly.

The color number "64" in his sight jumped and turned into "74" points, adding 10 points of energy.

"Squeak——"

"Squeak——"

As soon as Gilan stood up straight, he heard louder and weird screams coming from the deeper darkness.

"Squeak!!"

Soon, screams came from all directions, echoing throughout the cave at the bottom of the lake.

The faces of everyone in the mercenary team changed, and they looked around in surprise.

William's eyes were solemn, holding a cross sword and protecting his friend Clark behind him. He was a full head taller than Clark, and looked like an older brother protecting his younger brother.

Click, click, click!

Pa Chi Pa Chi...

A series of sticky but crisp footsteps came.

Through the faint light of the strange stalactites, everyone saw that dozens of humanoid creatures emerged from the surrounding darkness, but they were slightly taller than adult men.

They lie on all fours like wild beasts and can fly over eaves and walls, crawl at 90 degrees on smooth cave walls, or hang upside down on domes.

The pale and smooth skin is particularly eye-catching, especially the head that is larger than an ordinary person, like a ball filled with water.

It had no facial features and only had an opening on the top of its head. A dozen thin snakes came out of it, dancing like the stamens in the center of a flower.

"I... we seem to be surrounded!"

Someone swallowed and said tremblingly.

"The road back is also blocked."

"Take out your weapons! Prepare for a fight to the death!"

William picked up the cross sword and shouted in a deep voice.

He had judged the current situation and knew that he could not escape by running. Only by fighting can you have a chance to survive.

Ji Lan shouted to everyone:

"Stay closer to me and don't get distracted."

Clang!

A dozen people from the mercenary team surrounded the thin boy Clark, each took out a dagger and quickly ran towards Gillan.

However, in the process, the pale monsters around them attacked everyone without warning.

"Squeak!!"

The monster's big head trembled and throbbed, and it made strange screams through the snake's mouth.

In an instant, everyone felt their eardrums sting.

Puff puff puff puff! !

Countless liquid bombs fell like rain and flew towards everyone. Immediately, three or four guards were penetrated and fell to the ground dead like a sieve.

The others tried their best to dodge and raised their daggers to block. But except for William, almost no one managed to escape unscathed.

At such a critical moment, William made a prompt decision and knew that he could no longer stay where he was and endure attacks from all directions.

He pulled Clark and ran deeper into the cave...because there was an empty space instead.

Swish——

Suddenly, on the dome, a member of the Qiu Shang family who was obviously much larger than his companions landed directly in front of William.

What is surprising and disturbing is that the snakes on the monster's head actually twisted into a ball, forming a "cross sword" exactly like the one in William's hand!

Immediately, the monster stood upright like a human, grasped the "cross sword", and imitated the posture of William's sword just now, and struck vertically.

Clang! !

William also swung his sword to fight with it, and it made a crisp clang, and even sparks flew out!

"What kind of monster is this..."

William's pupils shrank, feeling confused and shocked by such an extraordinary existence.

"It should be the 'Autumn Shang Family'."

At this time, Clark, who was protected behind him, spoke. The sound buzzed through the thick glass of the helmet.

"I have read in an ancient book that they have a strong ability to learn and imitate... William, try not to fight. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for you."

"It's better to strive for a one-hit kill!"

"I see."

William responded briefly.

Clang! Clang, clang, clang! !

One person and one monster were fighting like a duel between knights, using swords as weapons.

The mercenary team was also imitated by monsters. They stand upright like humans, and the snakes above their heads are twisted into a ball and become daggers, almost like "reflections" of the guards.

The two sides fought together.

Even Jilan was no exception... In front of him, there was another Qiu Shang family member holding a "stick" in his right hand and a "rob" in his left hand.

The monster raised its left arm, and with a bang from the snake's mouth, liquid bombs were sprayed out.

Gillan sneered and pulled the revolver trigger.

boom! !

The strong firepower shredded the liquid bomb, and hit the opponent's chest with unabated momentum, leaving a hole the size of a bowl and splattering gray liquid!

"Squeak!" the monster screamed.

It staggered first, and then rushed forward like crazy, waving its "cane" and hitting Gilan.

"Learn from me?" Ji Lan shouted.

He swung out his staff and shook his wrist at the moment of the collision. A terrifying tremor was transmitted, hitting the opponent's "cane" and scattering it!

The "cane" composed of snakes suddenly bent and deformed, scattering in all directions!

At the same time, Jilan struck a "Taurus Sword", and the tip of the stick hit the monster's throat, making a muffled sound.

He retracted and swung his cane, and the shadow of the stick was like a fan, followed closely by the "Aries Sword", hitting the side of the monster's big head.

Bang! !

Its head was concave and mortar was gushing out. The body then tilted and fell to the ground.

After a few twitches, there was no movement.

Ji Lan bent down and flicked his hand, touching lightly with his fingers.

As the colored light flickered, the corpse of the Qiu Shang Family began to decay rapidly, turning into his mysterious energy.

The color number "74" in his sight jumped to "109", 35 points more!

Jilan turned around and looked again.

He discovered that the hired team was almost dead.

Although the guards are stronger than ordinary people, they are as fragile as lambs waiting to be slaughtered when faced with mysterious creatures like the Qiu Shang Familia.

Ji Lan glanced at William and found that he was fighting fiercely with a strong Qiu Shang Familia.

Seeing this, Jilan took a deep breath and decided not to let go of this wave of mysterious points that were coming to his door.

Uh-huh!

His blond hair instantly turned red, his eyes became dark, and the blood vessels in the corners of his eyes were exposed.

At the same time, the "Wand of Laughter" in his hand made a crisp sound and then deformed.

In an instant, it turned into a slender flower basket cross sword. But its appearance is somewhat similar to the Swift Sword.

Bang! !

There was a crack at Gillan's feet.

He rushed out completely.

In this process, the "anchor" essence plays a role and directly performs "humanity release".

At this moment, Jilan's expression was ferocious and he was full of firepower.

He used his strongest strength just to launch the most efficient killing form!

"Kill! Kill them all!!"

Ji Lan laughed crazily, and with a stroke of his staff and sword, twelve residual images fell in the air, and the secret bloodletting sword was used with all its strength.

His figure was extremely swift, and in just a blink of an eye, he passed through the group of pale monsters. The sharp sword light crossed the path and settled in front of him. The entire path formed a six-pointed star pattern.

Bah! Bah! Bah! !

The sword light flashed, and it killed seven or eight Qiu Shang family members in an instant, piercing their hearts, heads, throats and other fatal parts, and dismembering them with mysterious rhythms!

There was a crackling sound, the pale limbs fell to the ground like falling blocks, and the thick gray liquid splashed everywhere.

Now that Jilan has unleashed all his strength, his actual combat ability has surpassed that of an average level 3 mystic.

Coupled with the sharpness of the "Sword of Laughter" and the mastered terrifying secret sword technique "Gerald's Bloodletting Sword", in such a scene, it was a one-sided massacre!

Ugh - bear! !

Gillan moved his thumb and pressed the switch on the handle of the staff. The green gunpowder filled inside the core of the handle was ignited, lighting up the patterns on the sword, showing an emerald-like dark green color.

The high-temperature flames swayed, causing the straight sword body to fluctuate around it, and even the air was distorted.

call! ! !

Jilan swung his sword.

A burning green flame sword light passed by, cutting through the bodies of several Qiu Shang Familia members easily like a hot knife cutting through butter.

These mysterious creatures were cut off at the waist, fell to the ground, and were burned to death in just a few seconds.

The rest of the Qiu Shang family members were not afraid when they saw this, but began to imitate Ji Lan.

The snakes above their heads were seen twisting and turning into the shape of flower basket cross swords, but they could not imitate the high-temperature flames, only the appearance was similar.

Moreover, their physiques were imitated to the limit, and they could only barely reach the master level. Facing the ghostly Jilan, they were no different from living targets.

Bah! Bah! Bah! !

Jilan flashed left and right, swinging the Sword of Laughter one after another.

This killing lasted less than two minutes, and all the Qiu Shang family members present fell under his sword.

It can be said that the Sword of Laughter and Secret Swordsmanship are a powerful addition to Jilan, greatly improving his strength and killing efficiency.

"Shh..."

Ji Lan stood there and let out a long breath.

He flicked the cross sword, and the flames went out, leaving wisps of smoke.

At the same time, Gillan lifted his own secret skill status and the trusteeship of the "Mad King".

He calmed down a little, then silently began to putrefy the corpses on the ground.

Colorful lights flashed one after another, and mysterious energy continued to pour into his body, turning into points.

"109" increased rapidly.

"139", "174", "199", "236"...

After all the corpses of the Qiu Shang family members were corrupted by Jilan, the number in his sight reached the "919" point!

'so much! ’

Ji Lan looked happy and said something secretly in his heart.

‘What I gained from watching the movie this time was really good! It’s “beautiful” enough to deduce the secret technique of fusion! ’

He raised his eyes and saw that William had also successfully killed his opponent, the tallest Qiu Shang Familia.

William pulled the cross sword out of the monster's chest, turned around beautifully, and knocked the opponent down——

laugh!

The big round and pale head rolled down with the snakes.

William was breathing heavily, obviously spending a lot of energy.

Ji Lan chuckled and strode over.

But in the next second.

Boom! !

A terrible collapse suddenly occurred where William and Clark were!

"?!" Both of them were shocked.

There was a loud noise, and the two of them fell down together with the monster's headless body.

Jilan rushed forward, but when he lowered his head, he only saw a large hole several meters in diameter. It was pitch black and bottomless below.
