Mysterious city
Chapter 149: Chasing the Devil on a Rainy Night
As a qualified Constantine, the first priority is to carry the Monster Compass with you, even when going on a date.
However, this kind of thing that seems strange to ordinary people must be placed in the most hidden place on the body. For example, Jiang Zhe just kept the monster compass in the inner pocket of his clothes.
Otherwise, if someone else sees it, they might regard this thing as a magic weapon used by Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts, and regard Jiang Zhe as a liar who travels around the world.
Jiang Zhe held the monster compass in his hand with one hand and injected spiritual power into it at the same time.
In an instant, the surroundings of the monster compass were shrouded in a layer of light blue light. The usually very weak light turned out to be very bright in the darkness at this moment.
The two pointers on the compass quickly rotated twice as if they were wound up, and then quickly stopped and pointed in one direction.
The pointer representing the monster's level of demonization keeps wandering between the "tiger" level and the "ghost" level. This is because the monster is too far away to accurately grade it, which is a normal phenomenon.
However, this also shows to a certain extent that the information Chen Hao gave Jiang Zhe was wrong. After all, even if the level evaluation of a "tiger"-level monster is unstable, it will only cause the pointer of the monster compass to wander between "wolf" and "tiger". Walk without crossing the Tiger level.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Zhe frowned and his heart couldn't help but beat slightly.
If it were a tiger-level monster, it would naturally not pose much of a threat to Jiang Zhe now.
But if the opponent is at the "ghost" level, even a monster that has just stepped onto the threshold of the ghost level is enough to give Jiang Zhe a headache.
Because every time a monster jumps to a level, its strength will increase by leaps and bounds. Even monsters at the peak of the "Tiger" level cannot be compared with monsters at the early stage of the "Ghost" level.
The strength of the two is not at the same level at all, and they cannot be compared at all.
This situation becomes more common the higher you go up, and the strength gap between the two levels will continue to widen.
Although after the last battle with "Xiao Shui" in Licun, Jiang Zhe's strength has improved a lot compared to before.
But you must know that he does not carry a big killer weapon like "blessing" or "forgiveness" with him now.
So if the other party is indeed a "ghost" level monster, things will become tricky.
But the more powerful the enemy he faced, the less he could retreat, which made Jiang Zhe's desire to quickly deal with the opponent become even more urgent.
After all, "ghost"-level monsters already have quite strong destructive power. If they cannot be solved as soon as possible, they will cause great threats and troubles to the lives and safety of ordinary people.
Thinking of his agreement with Lu Yunru, Jiang Zhe stepped on the accelerator harder and deeper.
The engine of the Old Crown runs faster. Compared with those cars with more powerful horsepower, it is difficult to drive in water of this depth with the horsepower of the Old Crown, and it will become increasingly difficult as the water accumulation increases.
The engine of the old Crown is not so much a "roar" as it is a "whining sound" which is more appropriate.
Seeing that the car's engine was about to be destroyed by the water, Jiang Zhe had no choice but to find a relatively high place and park the Old Crown.
After all, at the speed of Old Crown at the moment, it might break at any time, and it might not be as fast as Jiang Zhe running on foot.
After parking the car, Jiang Zhe jumped out of the car. The water was almost up to his calves.
If the place where Jiang Zhe parked his car had not been on a relatively high ground and there was much less water than other places, the torrential rainwater might have poured into the car the moment Jiang Zhe opened the door.
The streets were dark at the moment, with almost no store still on. Except for the occasional faint but very warm lights from the rooms in the residential area, it seemed that the whole world had retreated back to the legendary flooded place. The original apocalypse.
The rain poured on Jiang Zhe's head like someone pouring it from a big bucket, causing water to pour into his eyes once he opened them.
Not only was his vision severely damaged, but it also made him feel very uncomfortable.
In desperation, Jiang Zhe had no choice but to use his spiritual power to increase his body temperature and evaporate the rainwater.
So much so that the heavy rain in the sky completely evaporated and turned into wisps of white mist almost as soon as it touched Jiang Zhe's body.
But doing this can only barely make the vision a little clearer.
After all, the rain was too heavy, and Jiang Zhe couldn't control the rain in front of him.
What made him even more worried was that he continued to use spiritual power to increase his body temperature, although not much spiritual power was consumed every second.
But once it lasts for a long time, his spiritual power will disappear quickly, so if he cannot find the target in a short time, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more difficult for Jiang Zhe to handle.
After all, monsters are already two completely different species from humans after being demonized, and their perception and physical strength may be higher than Constantine's.
In battles of the same level, Constantine's personal abilities are usually inferior to monsters, just like humans cannot defeat wild beasts of similar size with bare hands.
Constantine's few advantages are that he can use various props and has a clear mind to designate strategies and tactics.
And this advantage will also disappear when facing higher-level monsters.
After all, once a monster's strength reaches a certain level, not only will its mind not be reduced, but it may become more insidious and cunning, and it will use no fewer props than Constantine.
Therefore, fighting in such bad weather is actually an advantage for the monsters.
Because it may not be affected by this bad weather, or it may not be affected as much as Constantine, who is still a human body.
In addition, in order to maintain his perception ability, Jiang Zhe needs to constantly use spiritual power to increase his body temperature and evaporate rainwater. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it is for Jiang Zhe.
So Jiang Zhe immediately started running wildly, even if it required consuming spiritual energy to increase the strength of his leg muscles.
Quick victory is the way to go!
With the blessing of spiritual power, Jiang Zhe's running speed was much faster than that of Old Crown, who had just fallen into the puddle.
Only Constantine can run fast in such deep water. If it were an ordinary person in this situation, he could still take steps without swimming, which would be considered a very strong physical condition.
While running wildly, Jiang Zhe took out the monster compass and injected spiritual power into it to stabilize the compass' positioning function.
This undoubtedly increased the loss of his spiritual energy, and also made Jiang Zhe's prediction of the battle situation become even more pessimistic.
It stands to reason that Constantine needs joint operations to perform tasks in such severe weather conditions.
It is a pity that Constant's current manpower is seriously insufficient, coupled with the wrong estimate of the target's strength, how can it be possible to dispatch two men at the same time to deal with a mere tiger-level monster, otherwise Jiang Zhe would not be sent to perform the task alone.
However, with the very weak visible line of sight, Jiang Zhe still got the only good news - the compass needle became more and more stable as the distance he ran increased.
This shows that Jiang Zhe is looking in the right general direction.
Fortunately, there is no one on the street now. Otherwise, if he saw Jiang Zhe "walking thousands of miles" in such deep water at such an inhuman speed, he would probably think that he had met an Atlantean.
After running for another difficult distance, Jiang Zhe found that the pointer indicating the monster level on the monster compass no longer swayed, and had completely stabilized, settling on the edge of the "ghost" level, but not yet beyond the ghost level.
I don't know whether this is good or bad for Jiang Zhe. The good thing is that the opponent has not broken through the ghost level yet. The bad thing is that this guy's strength may be very close to Jiang Zhe.
But now his strength and condition are declining with the passage of time, and the opponent's strength level is already very close to the "ghost" level. It can be said that he is just one step away from completing the breakthrough.
And like Constantine, the monster's strength will also be improved in battle.
If his ability to control his own demonic power increases during the battle with Jiang Zhe and he completes a breakthrough, Jiang Zhe will be in danger!
Another thing that makes Jiang Zhe feel very headache is that at such a close distance, the indicator effect of the monster compass is already very weak.
After all, it can only indicate the direction. At this point, Jiang Zhe can only rely on his own perception ability to find the monster.
But now that the sky is dark and the earth is dark, it is like the end of the world. How easy is it to detect the specific location of the monster with the ability to sense?
Until the monster compass sent out a strong vibration, Jiang Zhe understood that the time had come.
He carefully put the monster compass back into his inner pocket, and then closed his eyes.
In this case, it is almost impossible to catch the monster with your eyes.
Therefore, keeping his eyesight not only does not help, but will actually affect his other senses.
Jiang Zhe closed his eyes tightly and used all his abilities at the same time, focusing entirely on his hearing and thoughts.
He eliminated all distracting thoughts, leaving only one thought in his mind, which was to sense every trace of evil in the air like a hound!
After a few seconds passed, even Jiang Zhe's breathing almost stopped completely.
All the noises in the world amplified with the sound of rain and flowed into Jiang Zhe's ears.
The originally loud sound of rain became deafening in Jiang Zhe's ears, almost breaking his eardrums.
Jiang Zhe had no choice but to devote some of his energy to completely eliminate the noisy rain.
The world fell silent for a brief second in his ears.
The next second, countless sounds and information poured into Jiang Zhe's ears like a steady stream of data flowing into the network along with the network cable!
