Chapter 517 Is It a Human or a Ghost?
The figure that suddenly appeared was extremely fast, catching everyone off guard. Most of them didn't even have time to react, and could only vaguely see an afterimage!
But Luo Jun, who was standing at the front, could see clearly!
That's a weird bird!
A strange bird that is bigger than a human, and does not have a single feather on its body. It is bare and slippery, and it just has a bird-like outline!
Just like the rough-modeled humanoid monster before, this one is also a chaotic creature!
But unlike the slow weirdo before, this one is extremely fast. Judging from the others around him, he shouldn't be able to react in time.
Want to take action?
A ball of Gang Qi rose up in Luo Jun's hand. At this moment, an old hand grabbed his wrist, suppressed his Gang Qi, and then passed by him, making a gesture to rush towards the monster. bird!
Master!
Luo Jun is naturally aware of Mr. Yuan's strength, but he has not forgotten the death scene that Xiao Min saw. This strange bird is obviously not an ordinary monster. If the master goes up to deal with it, will there be any danger?
Thinking of this, Luo Jun turned his hand and grabbed Mr. Yuan's wrist to prevent him from rushing out. He turned his other hand and took out the wall-building wand.
He planned to use this thing to build a wall to stop the strange bird!
However, Mr. Yuan didn't seem to give him a chance. After realizing that he was being held by Luo Jun, Mr. Yuan twisted his wrist and suddenly felt a strange force. Even though Luo Jun's wrist strength was much stronger than his, he actually let go of his hand. , Mr. Yuan shook off Luo Jun and was about to step forward when he suddenly noticed that there was another cold light shining in the darkness ahead!
This cold light was faster than the strange bird. It arrived first and caught up with the strange bird. Then it suddenly changed its direction and penetrated the strange bird sideways. With a clang, it nailed the strange bird to the wall!
That turned out to be a sharp sword!
It's so sharp and domineering that it can even penetrate the walls of the maze!
The strange bird was pinned by the sword, but it didn't give up its struggle. It exerted its semi-liquid properties like plasticine, and its body began to split into two halves along the edge of the sword, and it was about to break free.
But at this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed from the black mist, hitting the hilt of the sword. A dazzling arc flashed, and the strange bird began to wrap around the sword and twitch. After a moment, the lightning dissipated and the strange bird turned into a ball. The coke collapsed, and a gold ingot rolled out.
sharp!
Luo Jun secretly admired in his heart that both the speed and accuracy of this sword and the intensity of the subsequent lightning strike were both top-notch. The two abilities worked seamlessly together, creating the effect of one plus one greater than two!
"Wow! What's going on?"
At this time, Sun Xiaowei and others came to their senses: "Why was there sudden lightning and thunder? What on earth is this..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the long sword shaking slightly, then he pulled it out from the wall and flew backwards.
At the same time, a thin figure walked out of the haze in the distance, caught the sword, and shook off the charcoal dust on it.
"Ling Jian?!" Everyone recognized the person who came, it was Ling Jian who had been acting alone!
"I didn't expect to meet you here!" Ma Qiao laughed and said, "You have run far enough. This place is more than a hundred kilometers away from the origin, right?"
Ling Jian looked at a few people but said nothing. Suddenly his expression changed, he opened his mouth and coughed, and he actually vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Are you injured?" Everyone hurriedly stepped forward. Ling Jian waved his hand: "It's okay. I just encountered two of these monsters and suffered a small loss... I killed one, and the other one ran away. Just came here."
"You are so powerful!" Sun Xiaowei handed over a bottle of healing potion and praised: "This kind of chaos monster is very difficult to deal with. How can you deal with two of them by yourself?"
"It's just that I don't take physical attacks." Ling Jian was not polite, took the potion and drank it, his expression became better: "You can easily deal with it by changing the elemental power..."
"The lightning strike just now..." Mr. Yuan looked at Ling Jian: "You kid, you are indeed a member of the Ling family, right?"
Ling Jian raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Yuan, then nodded: "Do you always know me?"
"I can't say we know each other." Mr. Yuan said with a smile: "There are many branches of the Ling family's bloodline. Ling Ao may not be able to recognize them all, let alone me, an outsider."
"I really don't know the name Ling Jian, and I have never heard of a master in the operation system in the Ling family. But I have heard of a young man who refused to become a member of the Ling family clan."
Ling Jian frowned, and Elder Yuan continued: "I heard that because Ling Xin went to Ningdong to study and did not listen to the clan's orders, the Ling family planned to recruit a young clan member. The initially chosen one was an elemental sect member. A young man who is said to be extremely talented and possesses various elemental talents. However, for some reason, during the assessment, this young man refused the invitation from the clan because his abilities were not yet perfect..."
"I don't know the specific process. I only know that the final result is that the clan did not forcefully recruit this young man, but settled for the next best thing and chose another junior named Ling Yu. However, the boy was impetuous and could not I was so ambitious that I was killed in the previous recruitment mission, and due to the restrictions of the mission rules, the resurrection items were not unlocked. It was a pity that the spot was given up again just a few months after joining the clan. "
At this point, Mr. Yuan glanced at Ling Jian: "You are the young man who refused the invitation from the clan, right? You said you are from the manipulation sect, but in fact, you should be from the elemental sect, right?"
Ling Jian sighed: "Mr. Yuan is indeed well-informed... But I didn't lie. I am indeed an elemental sect, but I also have the ability to control the sect... The reason why I rejected the clan is also true. As an elemental sect, I found that my My hand-to-hand combat and physical attack abilities are too weak. This is a shortcoming that is difficult to make up for only by practicing the elemental sect. However, I really don’t have the talent of the martial arts sect, so I can only settle for the second best and turn to the control sect’s abilities, combined with treasures. To improve your own combat system.”
As he spoke, Ling Jian threw the long sword in his hand into the air. Under his control, the long sword was like a swimming fish, flipping up and down in the air, moving freely.
Everyone's eyes widened after hearing what he said.
What does it mean to turn to study the ability of the control faction? Generally, it is difficult for cultivators to master the talents of one sect. You, the boy, can change your talents at any time. You have the abilities of both sects and master them so well. How can you make sense of this?
"As expected of a genius who can master multiple elements at the same time." Mr. Yuan saw this sword-controlling technique and nodded in admiration: "Compared to other factions, the Elemental Sect has the most internal classifications and is the most complex. Although in essence, they are all It uses vitality to simulate natural elements, but because different elements The nature of the elements is very different, so most practitioners of the elemental sect can only specialize in one element. Those who can practice multiple elements at the same time are geniuses who have a very thorough understanding of Yuan Qi. This cannot be achieved through hard work. What you do is an innate feeling and talent!”
"Senior, you are so complimentary." Ling Jian said modestly.
"No matter what talent you have, since you have encountered it, come and act with us." Ma Qiao said with a smile: "We have found a lot of clues, and we have enough supplies. This time we have two more gold ingots."
"Gold ingot?" Ling Jian was slightly stunned.
"You don't know yet?" Sun Xiaowei controlled Xiao Hei to walk over and pick up the gold ingots on the ground: "Kill this kind of chaotic monster, you can explode the gold ingots, and you can exchange them for treasures in the black store. Didn't you kill one before? Well? Didn’t you see it?”
"I didn't pay attention..." Ling Jian shook his head.
"You can't even notice this glittering thing?" Ma Qiao curled her lips: "After all, he is a child of a big family with a rich family, but he regards money as dirt."
"Hey, it's okay, Jin Yuanbao can't run away." Luo Jun came up, raised his hand and patted Ling Jian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since you can chase me all the way, it means that the place where you killed the monster before was not far away, right? Can't we pick it up if you take us to see it?"
Ling Jian nodded: "Okay, come with me."
The group of people followed Ling Jian and walked forward. After turning several intersections, they came to a T-intersection.
"This is right here..." Ling Jian pointed at the charred scum on the ground and said.
"I just walked here and saw that strange bird. I was confronting it. Suddenly, I was attacked and injured by a monster from behind. I immediately used fire and thunderbolts to fight back and beat the guy into pieces. This is the remains. ”
As he said that, he used his long sword to open up the pile of dregs. There was indeed no gold ingot inside.
"That's strange..." Sun Xiaowei frowned and said, "The strange bird we shot was obviously there."
"Could it be that they are not two monsters?" Mao Xintong analyzed: "This monster is very changeable, and it may also be able to clone itself. Its main body attracts your attention and uses its clone to attack you. In fact, from the beginning to the end, there is only one monster, the strange bird? "
Ling Jian nodded: "It's possible..."
"This monster is really cunning and difficult to deal with!" Luo Jun touched his chin: "In any case, it can be regarded as a profit. Brother Ling Jian is injured, so there is no rush to continue exploring for the time being. Let's rest. For a while."
"It doesn't matter." Ling Jian waved his hand: "After drinking the potion, my injury is almost healed, so there is no need to accommodate..."
Before he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled...
Luo Jun chuckled and took out a piece of food: "Even if the injury doesn't matter, you can't explore hungry. There are many dangers in this maze, so you can't fight an unprepared battle."
Ling Jian sighed, took the food handed over by Luo Jun, nodded: "Thank you, then sit in the corner and eat."
Everyone continued to rest where they were. Luo Jun stared at Ling Jian who was eating something not far away, and whispered in his mouth: "This is a human..."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Ying, who was chatting with others not far away.
"This is not..."
Luo Jun's eyes narrowed.
When he patted Ling Jian on the shoulder just now, he actually used the secret dice in his mind to make a judgment: "The real Ling Jian was photographed."
The result is an event that's only a little difficult and easy to pull off. This shows that Ling Jian is real, and the difficulty at that point should be due to his slippery shot.
When Li Ying appeared, Luo Jun also patted him and made the same judgment at that time, but the result was an "inevitable event"!
When he saw this result, Luo Jun was just doubtful and not sure yet. After all, it seemed at the time that Li Ying was right in front of him, and he could reach out and take a picture. If this inevitable event meant that he would definitely be able to take a picture, he would have wronged a good person.
But now, with Ling Jian as the control group, Luo Jun finally determined that the inevitable event at that time meant inevitable failure!
When Li Ying reappeared, his personality and behavior were somewhat different from when he first entered the maze. Although this can be explained by the fact that he was frightened by monsters, I just read the diary. During Zhuge Qian's round, there was a girl named A Liang who had almost the same experience as what Li Ying said. This made Luo Jun couldn't help but wonder. Got suspicious.
Of course, these clues alone are not enough to explain anything. What really made Luo Jun wary of Li Ying was the process of his narration.
He and Zheng Yu encountered a monster. When long-range attacks failed, Zheng Yu rushed forward and was devoured. Li Ying took advantage of the chaos and ran away...
This story is not very reasonable, because when he first introduced himself, Luo Jun clearly remembered that Zheng Yu was an elemental sect, while Li Ying was a martial arts sect.
When encountering a monster, shouldn't the martial arts faction take the lead and the elemental faction deal with it behind?
Even if Li Ying was too frightened and didn't dare to go forward, the two of them should have run away together. It doesn't make sense for Zheng Yu, a crispy mage, to go up and confront him, right?
Therefore, this story made Luo Jun suspect that it was fabricated.
But now that it was finally confirmed, Luo Jun stared at the unknown Li Ying with murderous intent in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Yuan sat next to Luo Jun: "Why did you secretly call me over?"
"Master, I still suspect that there is something wrong with Li Ying."
When Li Ying came back a few days ago, Mr. Yuan also noticed that Luo Jun was always staring at him and secretly asked him why. Of course, Luo Jun could not tell the verification results of the dice and could only use Li Ying's various unnatural things as arguments. . After hearing this, Mr. Yuan also felt that it made sense and secretly tested him with a noble phantom. The results proved that Li Ying's identity was correct.
Of course, there is no problem with his identity, and it cannot be ruled out that he has been brainwashed or mentally controlled, so Mr. Yuan has also been wary of Li Ying these days. But the problem is, when Li Ying talks about the past, his memory and logic are very clear. And as we get along with each other in the past few days, his unnatural state at the beginning has disappeared, and his communication with other people has become more and more normal. Even his philistine smoothness has recovered, and no flaws can be seen at all.
"I understand your concerns... But in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Li Ying. His unnatural behavior that day was just because he was frightened." Mr. Yuan shook his head and said, "As for the unreasonableness of that story, people are in a hurry. He could do anything ridiculous. To say the least, even if Li Ying really lied, the real situation is that he left Zheng Yu and ran away alone. It is only human to try to cover up this disgraceful behavior. It’s normal…”
Luo Jun frowned, what Mr. Yuan said was reasonable, and this was precisely the most troublesome thing.
Now, except for the Tianji Dice, all other signs indicate that there is nothing wrong with Li Ying.
But Luo Jun knows that the judgment of the dice cannot be wrong!
The key is, how to make Mr. Yuan believe it!
