Let's start by analyzing the sun

This was a long, snowy night.

The fierce battle that took place in Winter Garden was merely a microcosm of what was happening within An Hua City.

Of course,

it was also the largest microcosm.

Just as Cheng Han had predicted, the headquarters of the Patrol Department, along with more than a dozen outposts, were simultaneously attacked by large numbers of snake monsters.

Judging from the organization shown by the enemy, this was undoubtedly a premeditated attack, aimed at severely retaliating against the Patrol Department.

Xing Peng, the new patrol officer of the Third Outpost, also experienced a thrilling night.

Two hours ago,

Outpost Chief Tao Hongming hurriedly returned to the outpost and announced the "martial law" order issued by Director Cheng.

Xing Peng and a group of colleagues worked together, "huffing and puffing", doing manual labor.

The work was not complicated.

They opened the special supply warehouse, and everyone donned a set of protective armor, even the spirit hounds were equipped with helmets and chainmail.

Originally, Xing Peng had witnessed his colleagues turning into monsters, understanding that something major must have happened.

It wasn't until this moment that the newcomer realized the problem was even more serious than he had imagined.

But he didn't say anything, just burying himself in hard work.

Next,

under the command of a patrol captain, a group of patrol officers lifted heavy stone roadblocks and placed them at the entrance of the outpost and along the main passages.

The several tall watchtowers within the outpost, which were usually empty, were now manned by several patrol officers.

The large crossbows installed inside were all strung with metal strings and loaded with thick bolts.

Two teams of Black Armor Army warriors actively responded to Director Cheng's will and moved into the Third Outpost.

Finally,

including Xing Peng, each patrol officer received three small, dark objects from the outpost chief, which looked like plant seeds.

A patrol captain took the lead in asking, "Outpost Chief, what are these things?"

Outpost Chief Tao grinned, his tone revealing a hint of mystery: "These are treasures bestowed by Director Cheng, called 'Sharp Spear Seeds'.

I guarantee you'll all love them after using them!"

He took out a Sharp Spear Seed and threw it out with force.

The seed flew over ten meters and heavily collided with a stone roadblock.

"Pa!"

The seed exploded in mid-air.

More than a dozen vines immediately burst out, instantly burrowing into the hard stone, no more difficult than drilling through tofu.

With such a display, the term "Sharp Spear" was truly well-deserved.

A group of patrol officers, along with a bunch of dogs, were all dumbfounded.

This was too amazing!

Another patrol officer came back to his senses and reminded, "Everyone, be careful later, don't throw the Sharp Spear Seeds at your colleagues."

The power of the seeds was so terrifying that if they were hit by them, their bodies would instantly be poked with more than a dozen bloody holes, and the probability of survival would be negligible.

The others nodded in agreement.

Even the dogs' eyes revealed a look of fear.

Outpost Chief Tao "hmph"ed dismissively: "You really underestimate Director Cheng's abilities."

This guy vigorously shook his right hand, and the second Sharp Spear Seed flew out, drawing an arc in the air and directly hitting him.

Seeing this, the group of people all exclaimed.

"Careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

Outpost Chief Tao didn't dodge, letting the seed hit his chest.

"Bang!"

The Sharp Spear Seed didn't move at all.

This time, not only the patrol officers but even the dogs were staring with wide eyes.

What was going on?

Outpost Chief Tao quickly moved his right hand, accurately grabbed the seed, and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Were you scared?"

This guy then revealed the answer: "The Sharp Spear Seeds made by Director Cheng have the ability to identify enemies and allies, and will only attack enemies."

A group of people and a group of dogs were all convinced.

This method was truly amazing!

Xing Peng carefully put the Sharp Spear Seeds into his pocket with a precious attitude.

His heart was even more filled with emotion.

It was truly unimaginable that the things casually made by the Director, who was a few years younger than him, were treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.

Compared to others, there was a world of difference!

Five minutes ago.

Xing Peng witnessed another tragedy.

"Help!"

"Save me~"

"Waa… It hurts!"

A large number of cries suddenly came from outside the outpost.

The patrol officer guarding the watchtower quickly issued a warning: "Monsters are coming! Everyone be careful!"

Xing Peng guarded the gate and saw more than a dozen civilians swarming over in groups.

Behind these people were five hideous snake monsters.

One civilian walked a little slower, and a snake monster approached, raising its sharp claws and scratching a wound on his back, causing a large amount of blood to flow out immediately.

This was clearly to drive the civilians, attempting to use them as shields.

"Ssss~ ssss~"

The bloody scent stimulated the snake monsters to hiss.

Xing Peng was both angry and chilled by what he saw.

The outpost was silent.

The patrol officers all had solemn expressions.

The ferocity and cunning of the monsters exceeded everyone's imagination.

Outpost Chief Tao decisively made a gesture and shouted, "Do it!"

His meaning was: Throw Sharp Spear Seeds.

A group of people neatly raised their right hands and threw the seeds out.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The Sharp Spear Seeds rapidly flew out, creating a slight whistling sound as they rubbed against the air.

The snake monsters quickly moved, unanimously hiding behind the civilians.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Sharp Spear Seeds hit the ground at the civilians' feet and exploded one after another.

Large vines burst out, wildly dancing like tentacles, fiercely stabbing towards the snake monsters.

"Ah~"

"Oh my god!"

This horrifying scene frightened the civilians.

They quickly discovered that the vines seemed to possess intelligence, not a single one harming them, all of them piercing through the monsters' bodies.

"Ooh!"

A shrill scream rang out.

A team of Black Armor Army warriors, standing above the watchtower, threw short spears from a high vantage point, successfully blowing up the heads of several monsters.

This was to finish them off.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to prevent the snake monsters from harming people before they died.

The civilians on the other side, witnessing the bloody scene at close range, were mostly frightened and collapsed to the ground, and many people even cried loudly.

A patrol officer shouted loudly, "Hey, come over here!"

The civilians supported each other and walked over in twos and threes.

At this time,

Xing Peng vaguely heard an extremely low sigh.

"Sigh!"

A transcendent mark hidden in this person's brain, which was the "little gift" Cheng Han gave, suddenly flickered slightly.

A warning sign inexplicably popped up in the newcomer's heart.

Xing Peng suddenly woke up and shouted without thinking, "There are Avengers hidden among these people, don't let them get close."

Outpost Chief Tao was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Don't come over! Or you'll be killed without mercy!"

Although he wasn't sure if this sentence was true, based on the idea of "better safe than sorry," this outpost chief still decisively issued the order.

The patrol officers immediately surged into a commotion.

If this was true, then the enemy's treachery was simply shocking.

A group of civilians were frightened, standing in place and not daring to move.

Several civilians anxiously defended themselves.

"I'm not an Avenger!"

"We're all ordinary people!"

Outpost Chief Tao ignored the civilians, but turned to look at Xing Peng and asked in a low voice, "How did you judge that Avengers have mixed in with the civilians?"

Xing Peng told the truth: "I just have this feeling."

Honestly, this reason was a bit far-fetched.

But Outpost Chief Tao believed these words: "Your intuition should be right."

He had personally experienced Director Cheng's "super-strong sensitivity", and naturally tended to believe in this kind of mystical thing.

A group of civilians were unable to advance or retreat.

A group of patrol officers also found it tricky.

Firstly, although each outpost had a set of magical tools that could identify Avengers, the identification took a long time.

Now that snake monsters could attack at any time, where would they have time to identify them?

Secondly, the Avengers might be hiding transcendent means of "drawing life", and rashly approaching them would be quite dangerous.

What to do?

Outpost Chief Tao hesitated for a moment and began to rudely chase people away: "Everyone, get out of here!"

As outpost chief, he needed to be responsible for the patrol officers under his command, and driving the other party away in one go was the safest and most reliable approach.

Another patrol officer pointed out a clear path for the civilians: "The outpost will be attacked by monsters soon, go to a small warehouse more than a hundred meters to the right…"

Before he finished speaking,

a shocking change occurred.

More than twenty meters away.

Three civilians showed fanatic expressions and shouted in unison: "In the name of our ancestors!"

Their faces suddenly aged rapidly, and their faces, which were originally in their thirties, were instantly covered with wrinkles, appearing to be elderly people over seventy years old.

At the same time,

three black gases emerged from their bodies, like sharp arrows, rapidly shooting towards a group of patrol officers.

This was precisely the Avengers' means of mutual destruction.

"Dodge!"

Outpost Chief Tao called out urgently.

A group of patrol officers squatted down at the fastest speed.

Fortunately, the Avengers were far away, and this group of patrol officers had enough reaction time.

Fortunately, due to the martial law order, several rows of stone roadblocks were placed at the entrance, which was equivalent to a bunker, otherwise, the patrol officers would have nowhere to hide.

However,

an accident still occurred.

One patrol officer's position was not good, and he accidentally exposed his arm when he squatted down.

Two groups of black gas hit the roadblocks and dissipated.

The remaining group of black gas happened to hit this exposed small arm.

In this instant,

the skin of the arm began to age rapidly.

At a critical moment,

Xing Peng happened to be squatting next to him and drew his long sword without thinking.

"Clang!"

The light of the sword flashed.

It struck the arm.

"Crack!"

A section of the arm was cut off with one blow.

Blood spurted out like a fountain, but the patrol officer's life was saved.

Outpost Chief Tao quickly shouted, "Stop the bleeding for him!"

Several patrol officers quickly gathered around, using their strength to close the blood vessels, stop the gushing blood, and send the injured to the interior of the outpost.

Outpost Chief Tao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xing Peng again, praising, "Little Xing, well done!"

Xing Peng's expression was calm: "It is my duty to rescue my colleagues."

Next to him.

The severed arm continued to suffer the erosion of transcendent power, quickly turning into a section of dry bone, with no trace of flesh on the surface.

A group of people watched this scene, each with a look of fear.

At this time,

an incomparably vast source energy fluctuation suddenly swept across the entire city.

Anyone who had condensed a source sense mark could clearly sense that this was a transcendent power of a higher level than a warrior.

A voice full of pressure instantly spread in all directions: "Red is evil, and can be killed!"

Outpost Chief Tao was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "The Xuan Pavilion has taken action!"

Another patrol officer shouted: "That woman has turned red."

It could be seen that among the crowd of civilians, a woman of about forty years old was as red as blood all over her body, even her clothes had turned red.

According to the saying "Red is evil", this woman was obviously the so-called "evil".

Or rather – an Avenger.

"Ooh!"

A scream tore through the silence.

A short spear flew down from the watchtower.

"Bang!"

The woman's head was blown off.

*

Winter Garden.

Cheng Han looked up at the night sky, carefully feeling the vast fluctuations, with a strange look on his face.

Because he immediately noticed that some of the spells were very similar to a method he had used in the past.

To be more detailed.

When he led the team to clean up the Spirit Leaf Handle, he deduced a unique marking method that could make the Void Insects appear as a striking red color.

And the spells performed by the Xuanshi with the help of the Xuan Formation also marked the Avengers as red.

Was this a coincidence?

Obviously not!

Cheng Han sensed it slightly, his expression becoming even stranger: "The principles of these two methods have a similarity of no less than 98%."

It was almost exactly the same.

He turned to look at the source of the fluctuations, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly: "The lofty Xuan Pavilion is actually embarrassed to plagiarize a method invented by a warrior."

Cheng Han shook his head again and "hmph"ed softly: "Although I don't mind, you should at least pay a little patent fee!"

Speaking of which.

He wasn't surprised that the Xuan Pavilion suddenly took action.

The Dream of the Alien God had been happening for so long, and the Avengers had been causing turmoil throughout the Small Spirit Realm, so it was normal for the Xuan Pavilion to research countermeasures.

It was just that the Xuan Pavilion's speed was slower than he had expected.
