Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

Chapter 84 Breakout? Assault!

As night fell, the entire Great Wilderness Continent fell into darkness, leaving only a bright moon hanging in the night sky.

The ancient city is in the west of the ruined city. Chu Huan and his men first broke out from the south, and then walked quickly for four or five miles before turning around and heading west.

Going south was to delay the formation of the ancient maze so that they could reach the ancient city on time.

They left the ruined city two hours ago. According to their current forward speed, they will not be able to reach the ancient city until at least noon tomorrow.

It is not easy to hide your whereabouts in the desolate desert, because one step will leave deep footprints on the ground, but fortunately there is Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng walked behind Chu Huan and others. As he continued to recite incantations, tornadoes rolled up sand and blew it to the surface of the desert. Soon the footprints were covered by the wind and sand.

After traveling for two or three miles in this way, a few people did not deliberately conceal their itinerary and allowed their footprints to appear on the desert.

It will take at least two hours for the coalition forces to discover that the footprints have disappeared and expand the search area to discover their whereabouts.

Zhuo Feng was cleaning up the traces behind him. Seeing how effortlessly he looked, Chu Huan curiously asked Xiaoman on the side: "If he is a genetic mutant, he must be at least a high-level genetic evolver."

From Lening to the ruined city, Chu Huan has seen between 100 and 80 genetic mutants. More than half of them are in the low-level gene fusion stage. Low-level mutant genes can only enhance human strength and speed, etc.

There will be some basic physiological characteristics of mutated genes. There are not many intermediate-level genes that can truly mutate. As for high-level gene evolvers, Chu Huan has not seen them yet.

But these days, he has also heard about the ability of genetic evolvers, which is said to be unpredictable and able to control the wind and rain.

"He is not a genetic mutant." Xiaoman looked back at Zhuo Feng and explained to Chu Huan: "He uses divine magic."

"Magic?" Chu Huan was greatly surprised. He had seen the skills of the white-bearded bishop of the temple, but this Zhuo Feng was actually a clergyman?

He is so young, black robe? Purple robe? Thinking like this, Chu Huan asked in a low voice: "What is the so-called magic?"

"God is the Tao, and Tao follows nature." Xiaoman explained: "Have you heard of ancient myths and stories? Those gods used magical magic, but we are humans, not gods. Calling it magical is an exaggeration of the temple.

Yes, if you want me to explain it, you can understand it as Taoism."

"Tao is Tao, technique is technique, Taoism and technique should be discussed separately."

"Some people in this temple have been studying it all their lives and still can't understand it. I can't explain it to you for a while."

"Just remember that Taoism is divided into three levels: Tao, Fa, and Shu. Tao is the highest. The Pope is now in the second stage."

"It's like a temple. It specializes in fire and thunder among the five elements."

Xiaoman talked about the secrets of the temple, and Xue Yue, who was a little curious about it, also gathered around. Seeing that Chu Huan and Xue Yue were listening attentively, Xiaoman, who didn't want to say more, thought for a while and continued to explain:

"It is said that this continent was in chaos before. The sky and the earth were together and not separated. The entire continent was pitch black, without the sun, moon and stars. Day and night, cold and heat did not alternate. There was no wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the sky, and there were no vegetation, mountains, rivers, humans, birds or insects on the ground.

beast."

"At this time, a spiritual energy was entwined and circulated in the chaos, so water was born from Taiyi, fire was born from Taichu, wood was born from Taishi, gold was born from Taisu, and earth was born from Taiji.

.”

"The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth come from this."

"Then the spiritual energy is revived, and immortals appear. Some of them have transformed spiritual energy, and some have cultivated animals and plants into spirits. There are too many things that can be said in this."

"The temple calls this period the ancient period, which is also the period of myths and legends."

"In addition to the ancient period, there are also the medieval period, the lower ancient period, and then God created human beings." Xiaoman said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about how the first human being appeared?"

"Pei Guo said that fish evolved. How could fish evolve into a boy and a girl by such a coincidence?"

"Don't talk about fish. Before the emergence of human civilization, there was the era of prehistoric dinosaurs that lasted hundreds of millions of years. There were no humans at that time. Dinosaurs have survived on this continent for hundreds of millions of years, and they have not evolved into humans for such a long time."

"There are endless debates about the origin of human beings, so I won't talk about it anymore." Xiaoman said as he recalled the past and looked at Chu Huan:

"You were struck by lightning once."

Xiaoman continued to make a long story short: "That thunder is Taoism. People in the temple use Qi training, movement of Qi, and communion with the God of Thunder to summon thunder and lightning."

"This qi is the innate vitality of human beings. You should not understand it as our current breathing qi, because it involves the foundation of the temple's magic and the refining of qi."

"The temple specializes in the use of spells."

"But the Divine Palace is different. They practice elixirs and refine medicines."

After Xiaoman finished speaking, seeing Chu Huan and Xue Yue dumbfounded, he shook his head helplessly: "I just said don't talk about it. If you talk about this, you can really talk about it for three days and three nights."

"What are you talking about?" Zhuo Feng caught up at this time: "I know, ask me."

Chu Huan glanced at Zhuo Feng and immediately said, "Nothing, I'm just discussing why there are so many stars in the sky."

Xue Yue continued to stride forward.

Xiao Man smiled at Zhuo Feng and said nothing.

"Tch, if you don't tell me, I don't want to hear it." Seeing how many people didn't want to hear what he had to say, Zhuo Feng didn't take it to heart. He found a step for himself and then continued talking:

"The night is beautiful...the wind is cool."

"I haven't smelled your hair for a long time..."

He was in a good mood and looked up at the stars. Regardless of whether Chu Huan and others listened or not, Zhuo Feng still spoke to himself:

"To tell you the truth, this Dahuang Continent is as good as Dahuang Continent. Why is it so vast and sparsely populated? I just like this deserted feeling."

“In our Jingguo area, every time you go out, there are huge crowds of people, traffic jams, crowds, and noise... Sometimes you have to queue up to go to the toilet.”

"At this moment, I really want to write a poem about this scene!"

"The sand in the wilderness is like snow... My heart is like the bright moon..." Zhuo Feng pretended to think: "Which one of you will write the second couplet?"

"Knocking your head down for half an hour, can three drops of ink be poured out of your stomach?" Chu Huan glanced at Zhuo Feng: "Stop talking nonsense, maybe the pursuers are behind you."

"I'm just afraid they won't come..." Zhuo Feng chuckled: "The uglification is from the front. If you can't beat me, you'll run away. Don't blame me."

"I advise you to run now." Xiaoman said sarcastically from the side: "Otherwise, I will have to save you later."

"I like to hear this." As he thought of something, he stretched out his hand and took off the human skin mask made according to Qi Chuanlin's appearance: "Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise General Qi would not be able to live in peace after his death."

Qi Chuanlin had been cremated and his ashes were scattered in the desert by Chu Huan. Because the military personnel had been trying to find Qi Chuanlin, Zhuo Feng made a leather mask to attract their attention, hoping to catch a big fish.

Originally, Zhuo Feng was thinking of using Qi Chuanlin's head to go to the coalition military camp and conduct an assassination or something. After some discussion, they felt that even if they succeeded, the risk would be too high, so it would be better to lure the snake out of its hole.

"I want to know how many layers of human skin masks you wear?" Chu Huan looked at Zhuo Feng and asked, "Is your current face your true face?"

Zhuo Feng just laughed and did not answer Chu Huan's question.

Seeing him like this, Chu Huan and others had the answer in their minds.

"You should use this, otherwise you will be blacklisted by Pei State." Zhuo Feng said and threw the human skin mask in his hand to Chu Huan. Chu Huan took the human skin mask, thought about it, and said, OK

, and then with the help of Zhuo Feng, he put the human skin mask on his face.

After a few people met during the day, Chu Huan told the information he knew so far. There were new mutants from the coalition forces. One was to track down the whereabouts of Qi Chuanlin, and the other was to eliminate the rebels in the city, which meant destroying Lin Tianji.

A few people.

According to Zhuo Feng's idea, he simply killed them in the ruined city. There were four genetic mutants on the opponent's side, and there were four people here. One-on-one, there was no chance of winning.

Chu Huan had different plans. When he learned that Lin Xiaoxiang and Xiao Dao had arrived at Dahuang Continent, he had a plan in mind.

A ruined city is not the first choice.

First of all, there are many poor people here. If we really want to start a war in the ruined city, then I am afraid that the houses will collapse and countless people will die. Chu Huan does not want to hurt innocent people.

The most important thing is that Chu Huan does not want to expose himself in front of everyone. If he is recognized when he fights with the coalition forces here, I am afraid that he will never be able to return to Lening in this life.

So he chose the ancient city of Wangyue as the battlefield.

In order to attract the top leaders of the coalition forces, he asked Zhuo Feng to pretend to be Qi Chuanlin.

At the same time, in order to attract the attention of the temple, he made a special trip to the temple and lent the artifact Lingxi to Xiaoman. Now the artifact is owned by Chu Huan and is just an ordinary dagger in the hands of others.

Xiaoman deliberately showed his artifact in front of Zipao in order to attract the Pope's attention.

In the ruined city, if the few of them want to deal with the Pope, the chance of winning is very slim, but in the desolate desert, it would be fine if the Pope comes with someone. If they come alone, the four of them have no chance of winning.

Zhuo Feng and Chu Huan both carry grenades, and Xiao Man is an invincible being below the level of the red-robed priest, so he can at least give it a try.

As for Xue Yue, even if the Pope is a being of steel and iron, he can still kill him with one blow.

Putting on the human skin mask, Chu Huan stepped forward and chased Xue Yue, with Zhuo Feng following behind and Xiaoman walking at the end.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Xiaoman felt a little worried at the moment.

No one knows the Pope better than her, not to mention that there is a genetic evolution man and three genetic mutants among the pursuers. Chu Huan said that as long as they reach Wangyue Ancient City, they are sure to win, but can they really reach Wangyue Ancient City?

This battle, as Chu Huan said, has the meaning of a gamble. At least they dare to fight and dare to say no to those who are superior.

Having vaguely guessed Zhuo Feng's identity, she felt that it would be better if Zhuo Feng could call helpers.

It’s just that the people from the shrine seem to have to wait two days to come.

At this moment, Xiaoman felt a little guilty. She was the one who brought the three of them together and dragged them into this struggle. If something happens to someone... thinking about this, Xiaoman noticed a strange wind.

When the wind blew, he immediately stopped and shouted to the front: "Danger!"

Xiaoman sounded a warning, and Xue Yue, who was walking in front, stopped first, holding the knife in front of him with his left hand, bowing slightly, ready to take action at any time.

Chu Huan and Zhuo Feng also stopped and looked around.

Looking at Xue Yue's back in front of him, Chu Huan remembered a conversation between the two two days ago. He asked Xue Yue: "Why is your knife so fast?"

Xue Yue said something and told Chu Huan to shut up immediately.

"I have to practice the action of drawing the sword for six hours every day."

"I persisted for ten years."

"Nothing but familiarity with your hands."

Although Xue Yue's sword is still in the scabbard, Chu Huan believes that there is no difference between the sword and Xue Yue's hand.

At this time, a figure wrapped in a whirlwind slowly appeared, blocking the way of everyone heading west.

The man was wearing a golden robe, with only his face and hands exposed.

The man was about fifty years old, with high cheekbones, a rosy complexion, and clear and lively eyes.

It's the Pope.

Seeing the Pope, Zhuo Feng subconsciously took a step back. Seeing that Chu Huan and the others stayed where they were, Zhuo Feng touched the human skin mask on his face with some embarrassment and took a step forward to stand at his previous position.

Xiaoman stepped forward to greet him.

"The goddess has met the pope." Xiaoman bowed and saluted.

After the pope appeared, his eyes only glanced at the others and then fell on the goddess. Now that he saw the goddess saluting him, his expression did not change much and said: "Goddess, do you know your sin?"

"What's Xiaoman's crime? Please ask the Pope to make it clear."

"You stole the artifact privately and colluded with outsiders to destroy our temple. You have a deplorable intention!"

"Has the divine law ever stipulated that goddesses cannot use divine weapons?" Hearing the Pope's words, Xiaoman actually laughed: "The temple has become like this, and the Pope cannot escape the blame, right?"

"Hand over the artifact and I will spare your life." The Pope said angrily.

"Thank you, Lord Pope, for your kindness." Xiaoman said, taking out Lingxi from his waist: "Please also ask the Pope to let us pass."

After saying that, Xiaoman walked towards the Pope holding the dagger in both hands.

Xue Yue took a few steps to the left of the Pope, and several people formed a horns attack on the Pope.

Glancing at the knife in Xue Yue's hand, the Pope snorted coldly and ignored it. He looked at the dagger in Xiaoman's hand. When Xiaoman was only one foot away from him, Lingxi suddenly hit Xiaoman's palms.

It flew up and shot straight at the Pope's chest!

Chu Huan and Lingxi were now connected. He controlled Lingxi to sneak attack on the Pope, without thinking of hitting him with one blow. After all, Lingxi was an artifact of the temple before, and the Pope should have been on guard against Lingxi.

"Bold!" The Pope roared angrily. The next moment he raised his hand and grabbed the amazingly fast Lingxi directly in his hand. He looked up and down at the golden pattern on the Lingxi knife, and the God-Emperor frowned.

.

He could connect with Lingxi's mind before, but now that Lingxi is in his hand, not only can he not feel the existence of the spiritual energy in Lingxi, but Lingxi has been resisting, trying to break free from his hand, and the huge impact makes him

Had to let go.

The next moment, Lingxi was hovering in the night sky, waiting for an opportunity to move.

"It seems that only by killing Xiao Man, who controls the spirit, can we regain the artifact." The Pope, who thought that Xiao Man had tampered with the artifact, thought this way. When he looked at Xiao Man again, his eyes were filled with tears.

Full of murderous intent.

At this moment, Xiaoman, who had been ready to go, kept chanting spells in her mouth, and a thick sand wall two feet high appeared in front of her, blocking the Pope's sight. The next moment, the sand wall collapsed suddenly,

Hit the Pope!

The Pope stood unmoved, but there was a trace of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. A light yellow light curtain appeared around him. As he raised his hand, made a fist, and punched the sand wall, a magnified number appeared.

A double illusory fist appeared, carrying a strong air current through the sand wall and headed straight for Xiaoman.

Xiaoman hurriedly backed away from the Pope's fist, and the sand wall shattered the moment his fist passed through it, turning into a pile of sand.

Zhuo Feng took the opportunity to step forward at this time and punched the Pope when he came in front of him!

The fist stopped a foot in front of the Pope and was blocked by a wall of air.

Like a punch hitting a thick mirror, Zhuo Feng's charged attack was unable to move forward at all.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive..." (Note 1)

"Give me divine power and destroy all demonic obstacles!"

As the Pope murmured, the originally breezy desert immediately turned into a strong wind. The strong wind stirred up the sand and kept swirling around, making the sand blind and seeming to sweep people away.

Breathe the wind!

"Five Thunder Heavenly Lords...are all in my heart...will be here as soon as I hear the call...the wind, thunder and earth are shaking...divine enlightenment!"

Call for thunder!

The originally moonlit night sky with few stars suddenly flashed across the sky with lightning and bursts of thunder!

Shall I wipe it?

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Feng withdrew his fist and retreated.

The Pope was much more powerful than he thought. As soon as he wanted to retreat, he saw a figure rushing towards the Pope.

Xue Yue.

Xue Yue jumped up in the wind and sand, and slashed at the Pope.

This knife actually tore a hole in the Pope's protective shield!

The tip of the knife passed through the air shield and moved downward inch by inch, getting closer and closer to the Pope's face. Looking at the black knife in front of him, the Pope stopped being contemptuous. As he raised his right hand, a fireball appeared in the palm of his hand.

.

The fist-sized flames glowed blue and looked extremely weird. As the Pope raised his hand and waved, the fireball flew straight towards Xue Yue!

The air shield disappeared, the Pope dodged, and when he reappeared, he was already ten feet away!

Xue Yue's sword remained unchanged and struck the fireball with one strike.

The fireball was split in half with a knife, but it still flew towards Xue Yue!

"This is the fire of hell, be careful!" Xiaoman shouted to Xue Yue!

"How to put it out!" Xue Yue was chased by the fireball. Although the fireball was very lethal, it was not flexible enough. Although he would not be caught up for a while, being entangled by the fireball was really annoying.

"I'll do it!" Xiaoman stepped forward and began to chant spells and cast spells. At this moment, Chu Huan used force on his feet and rushed towards the Pope!

As soon as he reached a foot in front of the Pope, a thunder struck him!

"Ha, you, a warlord, still want to hurt me? You are overestimating your own capabilities!" Looking at Chu Huan who came to him, the Pope did not move. He knew that Qi Chuanlin was just an ordinary soldier.

Almost at the moment when the thunder was about to fall on Chu Huan, golden light flashed on Chu Huan's body. The next moment Chu Huan came to the Pope, and the thunder also fell on Chu Huan.

Just listen to the Pope's angry shout resounding through the sky!

"The rat is looking for death!"

………

Note 1: Many people should have heard this sentence, but don’t know much about the story behind it: The founding emperor of Nanliang once asked Taoist Zhou why he entered the court as an official. Zhou Xingsi said that there was a voice in his head telling him to come. Zhou Xingsi was good at teaching, Liang The Emperor loves Buddha. Some eminent monks came to meet with Emperor Liang. They talked about Buddhism and what wisdom is, and Emperor Liang said that I have a Taoist here named Zhou Xingsi. Please write down your thoughts after reading Wang Shusheng’s inscription.

Zhou Xingsi stayed up all night that night, and the next day he presented the "Ciyun Wang Xizhi's Book of Thousand Characters" that has been passed down through the ages. He extracted a thousand words from Wang Xizhi's inscription, compiled it into a text, and told the eminent monks about the history of Chinese civilization in the most concise and neat words. It was so profound and profound that the eminent monk remained silent after reading it, clasped his hands and bowed, saying goodbye to Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang was keen on Buddhism, so of course he didn't want to, so he sent people to try his best to persuade him to stay, blocking the ferry, banning ships and navigation, etc. Unexpectedly, the eminent monk walked to the riverside, picked up the reeds by the riverside, tied them into a bunch, threw them into the river, and jumped up , stepping on reeds, crossed the river and headed north.

After Zhou Xingsi wrote "Ci Yun Wang Xi's Book of Thousand Characters" in one night, his hair on the temples turned completely white. Emperor Wu of Liang ordered his royal family members to compulsorily study "Ci Yun Wang Xi's Book of Thousand Characters" to ensure that the Taoist tradition of Zhaohua Xia continued unbroken.

As soon as the eminent monk read the opening chapter of "Ciyun Wang Xi's Book of Thousand Characters", he sighed to himself: "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, and the universe is primitive."

Xuan is black. It says at the beginning that the sky is black and the earth is yellow. This is like jumping out of the atmosphere to look at the heaven and earth. It is so much better than the blue sky and white clouds.

"Ci Yun Wang Xi's Book of Thousand Characters" is now known as "Thousand Character Classic", which is a compulsory enlightenment text for Han people for more than 1,400 years.

——This chapter still has more than 5,000 words, so I won’t write them separately. I found that your ID names are much better than mine. They are all talents——
