Chapter 694: Is It Great to Be a Top Student?
The hourglass on the ground completely shattered amid the boy's loud laughter, and the white sand in it spilled out and scattered all over the ground.
A vortex of energy turbulence suddenly rolled up in the cave, and the sword energy of the god-slaying sword floating in the air was easily blown away and disappeared by this turbulence.
Mu You was also blown back by this energy, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the sand and dust. Relying on the powerful attributes of the battle suit, he barely stopped the trend of retreating.
In the center of the altar, the boy's laughter had stopped abruptly and turned into a scream.
Mu You looked with his peripheral vision and saw that the boy was in the center of the storm. His whole body was torn into pieces by the powerful energy turbulence, and finally completely dissipated in the center of the air volume.
The storm was still spreading outward. Seeing that the situation was out of control, Mu You was about to exit the cave first, but suddenly felt something strange on his body, and reached out to touch something from the package behind him: a hollowed-out square.
This was a prop seized from a Z World Walker a long time ago, used to protect the shell of the Heart of Time fragment.
The Heart of Time fragment inside had been taken out by Mu You and used on the pocket watch, which was why the pocket watch was upgraded.
The remaining square shell, the surface of which was already shattered, could not withstand the destruction in the storm at this moment, and it completely shattered as soon as it appeared.
As the cube shattered, Mu You's body was also bound in place by a force of energy, unable to move, and could only watch the sweeping energy storm, drowning his vision...
The storm lasted for about half a minute before it stopped.
Everything in the cave stopped again, and it became audible.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of a bell, and a transparent helmet hit the mountain wall, broke out of the invisible, and fell to the ground, rolling several times, and finally stopped.
A few seconds later, the helmet that regained consciousness trembled a few times, floated from the ground, and turned its head to look hurriedly.
The entire cave was empty, and the figures and breath of Mu You and the little boy disappeared without a trace...
...
At the same time, outside the Chuangjie Mountain.
A rumbling sound came from the mountain.
Hongxiu and Lin Xue, who were confronting each other, were both stunned, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the mountains in the distance.
No changes could be seen from the surface of the mountain, but with such a big commotion, something must have happened inside.
Lin Xue was a little worried about Mu You's safety.
Hongxiu noticed that Lin Xue turned his head, and his eyes moved. Taking advantage of Lin Xue's distraction, he suddenly jumped up, bypassed Lin Xue, and rushed towards the direction of Chuangjie Mountain.
Lin Xue was stunned, and quickly came to his senses. Seeing Hongxiu running away in an instant, he hurriedly caught up.
The two chased and fled, and Hongxiu threw the chain in his hand backwards from time to time to hinder Lin Xue's speed.
As they chased and fought, the two quickly rushed to the front of Chuangjie Mountain. Hongxiu ran straight to the open stone door in the front, and Lin Xue hurriedly followed.
As a result, the two of them "penetrated" through the body of the Creation Mountain as if they were through a mold, and they did not touch any entity.
Neither of them was an administrator, so naturally they could not enter the Creation Mountain.
Just as the two were at a loss, the Creation Mountain above their heads suddenly fluctuated like water waves, and then gradually became virtual and transparent until it disappeared completely.
A few seconds later, the original place returned to the original desert scene, empty, and there was no mountain body.
Obviously, the time for the Creation Mountain to appear in the world today has come.
When the Creation Mountain falls into the state of disappearance, theoretically, the creatures in it and all the substances entering from the outside world will be forcibly kicked out.
However, at this moment, there was no sign of Mu You and the little boy around.
"Where is the person? Where did you take him?" Hong Xiu stared at Lin Xue with a cold face.
Lin Xue frowned when she heard this: "This should be the question I want to ask you!"
The two of them were hostile to each other, holding their weapons tightly, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
A sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and a white object shot out from mid-air, heading towards Hong Xiu's position.
"Hmm?" Hongxiu looked at the flying object intently. If it was a sneak attack, the noise would be too loud, and even a blind person could see it.
Seeing the object rushing towards her, she subconsciously swung the chain.
"Ding!"
With the sound of metal clashing, the flying object was slapped away by Hongxiu and rolled on the sand not far away.
The two of them could see clearly that it was a helmet that flew out.
The helmet landed on the ground and soon floated up again, like a drunk person, shaking his head, first identifying the direction, then staggering towards Lin Xue, and finally falling into her hands.
"Where is he?" Lin Xue asked hurriedly.
Ava was attached to Mu You and entered the Creation Mountain with him. At this moment, the Creation Mountain disappeared, but only Ava was kicked out, and Mu You disappeared.
Hongxiu, who was standing by, also pricked up her ears.
"The two of them were caught in a time and space storm, and both were swept away by the storm and disappeared..." Ava's voice sounded in Lin Xue's mind.
Lin Xue was a little confused. She had never heard of time-space storms. "What happened?"
Ava described what she saw and heard in the Creation Mountain.
"...According to the situation at that time, the person activated a time transfer item...In other words, the two of them may have left our current time and space and went to other time points in the Creation Mountain."
"Other time points..."
Lin Xue was even more confused after hearing this: "What time point was it exactly?"
"It's not clear yet. The data is unknown and cannot be analyzed. It may be in the past or in the future. It depends on the time when the item was born. Relatively speaking, it is more likely to be in the past."
"They... went back to the past?" Lin Xue was surprised.
"Humph!"
At this time, Hongxiu on the opposite side suddenly snorted coldly, suddenly threw out the chain, and attacked Lin Xue.
Lin Xue's reaction was not slow, and she subconsciously raised her sickle to resist. When she spoke, she did not relax her vigilance against Hongxiu.
The two of them fought a move, and neither of them took advantage.
Lin Xue frowned and looked at Hongxiu: "What do you know?"
Although Ava's explanation just now was facing Lin Xue alone, Hongxiu had the ability to read minds. Lin Xue knew that Hongxiu must have heard what she said just now. Now this reaction obviously knows something.
"Haha, why should I tell you?" Hongxiu sneered.
"It seems that I can only take you down!" Lin Xue's face also turned cold, summoned the god skin, and took a fighting stance.
"You can try and see who takes who down." Hongxiu sneered, with a confident expression.
Lin Xue did not say much, and shrunk the energy of the divine skin to the height of an ordinary human body, just covering her body surface. Facing an opponent of the same size, the divine skin would be too big and would affect agility.
As the descendants of the god of death, they all competed with speed.
Lin Xue stepped on the ground, turned into a phantom, and rushed forward with a knife.
Hong Xiu, as if she had expected it, also summoned a layer of divine skin, and burst out with a speed that was not inferior to Lin Xue, lightly avoiding her attack, and walking leisurely between actions.
Lin Xue did not stop and continued to chase. She knew that the other party had the ability to read minds, and what she wanted was to give the other party no time to react.
Unfortunately, Hong Xiu's mind reading seemed to take no time at all. All of Lin Xue's ideas took shape in her mind as if they were one body and one soul.
The shadow of the sickle of the god of death in Lin Xue's hand flowed, constantly cutting through the air and slashing towards Hong Xiu. The scene seemed to be suppressing and forcing Hong Xiu back step by step, but in fact, not a single time could really hit.
In other words, the other party can predict all her actions in advance...
Lin Xue's eyes flashed with helplessness. If it was delayed mind reading, it would be better, but this kind of instant synchronous mind reading is too difficult.
To defeat this ability, she must have a strength and speed far superior to the other party.
However, after a few encounters, Lin Xue realized that the two were of the same star level, and their attributes and strengths were similar.
It is obvious that the other party has not relaxed during this period, and has grown well under the training of the old man. Lin Xue may be able to be slightly better with the resources accumulated in the previous battle in the City of Order, but it is not yet to open up the gap in grades.
In this case, the existence of mind reading is almost unsolvable.
While Lin Xue was thinking, Hong Xiu in front of her suddenly sneered, and her figure retreated violently, pulling away from Lin Xue, and her back hit a rock behind her.
The imagined scene of Hong Xiu hitting the rock and being bounced back did not appear. Hong Xiu disappeared directly into the rock like a ball of air.
"?"
Lin Xue was stunned, looking at Hong Xiu who suddenly sank into the stone, and hurriedly turned around to look around, but she couldn't find any trace of Hong Xiu, as if she had evaporated out of thin air.
"Be careful!"
Ava's warning suddenly sounded.
Lin Xue had also felt the movement under her feet, and subconsciously wanted to jump up, but she was still a step too late.
A pair of hands stretched out from the sand under her feet and grabbed her ankle.
Then a force came, and Lin Xue was pulled into the sand, and her shoulders and below were buried in the sand, unable to move for a while.
In front of Lin Xue, Hong Xiu slowly "floated" out of the sand until she stood on the sand, looking at her with a teasing look.
"I didn't attack you before because I knew that man had a way to counter me, and he was not easy to deal with. You don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you?"
Faced with Hong Xiu's sarcasm, Lin Xue did not respond, and was still silently analyzing the situation just now.
So far, in addition to the power of the God of Death, Hongxiu has shown two additional powers, one is mind reading, and the other is the ability to penetrate and exit stones.
At first, Lin Xue thought that the other ability of the other party was the ability to penetrate walls, which could pass through obstacles, but now it seems that it is more than that, and can also pass through obstacles with the human body it touches, which is more like the ability of material assimilation...
"Forget it, it's over."
Seeing that Lin Xue did not beg for mercy or speak, Hongxiu was a little bored. She walked in front of Lin Xue and reached out to touch her head.
"Don't blame me, I'm tired of the divine skin with only one arm. The power of the God of Death has been separated for so long, and now it's time to merge into one..."
Before Hongxiu finished speaking, she suddenly realized the danger and hurriedly retreated.
Following Hongxiu's actions, silver needles and sutures drilled out from the ground and pierced her from all angles.
Fortunately, these silk threads have a distance limit. When Hongxiu retreated a certain distance, these needles and threads stopped quickly and returned to Lin Xue, piercing in the sand.
As the surrounding land loosened, Lin Xue jumped out of the ground unharmed a moment later.
As soon as he appeared, Lin Xue did not stop and rushed towards Hong Xiu again with a knife.
"Are you still going to resist..."
Hong Xiu's face was a little strange: "It's useless. I know your thoughts and abilities very well. No matter how many times you come, the result is the same..."
Hong Xiu's voice stopped abruptly.
Lin Xue appeared like a ghost beside Hong Xiu, swinging the sickle in her hand. In Hong Xiu's surprised eyes, the knife cut her body firmly.
Hong Xiu's left arm was cut open, blood spurted out, and a ball of blue soul floated out.
She was thrown out by the force and fell to the ground not far away. She turned around and looked at Lin Xue in a daze: "How could it be..."
With her mind reading, she can always understand all the enemy's attack ideas, and sometimes she can even understand the opponent's attack routines earlier than the enemy, which is the only way to be invincible in a one-on-one situation.
However, she didn't understand Lin Xue's idea just now.
"Using the opponent's initial position as the coordinate, the data after vector transformation of the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the new position is derived by surface integral, and the result is restored to the nearest random number that meets the current attack range, and then corresponds to the 206 bones and 639 muscles of the human body, and an immediate attack is carried out..."
"What the hell?"
Hong Xiu was confused. What is vector transformation? Surface derivative? And it needs to be restored to numbers? She knew every word of this passage, but she couldn't understand it at all when they were put together.
While Hongxiu was in a daze, Lin Xue in the distance had already swung her knife to attack again.
At the same time, a thought came to Hongxiu's mind.
"According to the opponent's new coordinates, the random numbers obtained are 105-79, and the corresponding parts are hit respectively..."
Hongxiu jumped up hurriedly, and her brain was working at high speed.
In a short interval, she had already understood the opponent's plan, which was to complicate the thinking process to disrupt her mind reading. And what she had to do was also very simple, that is, to accurately grasp the key information, follow the opponent's thinking, and find the final result in advance.
Let's ignore the strange thing in front. Anyway, 105 and 79, these two numbers are obviously the opponent's next attack target, which seems to correspond to the numbers of bones and muscles respectively, and this kind of key information must be in the opponent's mind.
Hongxiu hurriedly urged her spirit with all her strength, and soon found the corresponding knowledge in Lin Xue's mind.
It was a human anatomy diagram, with every muscle and bone clearly marked with numbers.
Next, Hongxiu only needed to find the position corresponding to the number.
However, Hongxiu soon wanted to cry.
She could still see the other person's thoughts clearly. As long as she was given time, all the information could be seen clearly.
But it was too late!
While she was still anxiously looking for numbers, Lin Xue's attack had already arrived.
A cold light flashed, and Hongxiu subconsciously dodged, but felt a pain in the calf of her right leg. As her soul was scattered, the whole person was blown away again by the force.
"The 105th bone of the human body is the right tibia. This kind of medical common sense, there must be someone who doesn't know it?"
Listening to the cold voice from a distance, Hongxiu suddenly felt nakedly insulted, and had an urge to curse: Damn, you are a great academic master, is it appropriate to show off your knowledge in this way? (End of this chapter)
