Chapter 174 Mysterious Shadows in the Divine Palace, and Turbulent Changes in Qinhai City!
The wind was chilly.
Qi Sui squatted in a bush, with a roasted demon sheep on the fire in front of him.
He didn't care about the heat, and directly tore off a piece of lamb leg meat with his mouth and chewed it.
The fat juice burst in his mouth, and the rich cool air flowed into his body along his throat, and even the terrible injury on his left leg felt a little better.
A few minutes later, the whole demon sheep was eaten.
After recovering some physical strength, Qi Sui found a clean place to sit down again.
[Super Self-Healing], start!
The bright green light covered the entire left leg, where a three-foot-long spike was inserted. The muscles near the wound were dark black, pus and blood kept flowing out, showing signs of necrosis.
"Hiss——"
Qi Sui endured the severe pain and pulled out the spike directly. The surface of the spike was covered with dense small barbs, tearing off a large piece of muscle.
Fortunately, [Super Self-Healing] has the abnormal ability to repair and reorganize flesh and blood.
A few minutes later, the left leg was smooth as before and regained the ability to move.
"Huh! It was really close!"
Qi Sui looked to the north of the forest, where he was injured.
During this period, his strength increased rapidly, and he was no longer satisfied with the current activity area, so he continued to advance thousands of kilometers north tentatively, and he really found a big guy.
It was a terrifying demon spider with a body size of more than ten meters, the king of that area.
The two fought fiercely.
Qi Sui even took back the soul body, but still did not fight over, and escaped by chance at the cost of a serious injury to his left leg.
"The spider species is the top existence under the rules of this secret realm. I'm afraid it can fight against ordinary martial arts masters!" Qi Sui exhaled a breath of turbid air, and felt slightly excited in his heart.
After all, having an opponent will give you more motivation to practice.
"When your strength is improved, it should be no problem to beat it!"
Qi Sui's body returned to the Goddess Secret Realm to continue tempering his body, and the condensed "soul body" once again rushed towards the place where the secret realm channel collapsed before.
At this time, the cracks caused by the collapse of the channel on the silver-white space rule energy in this area were almost imperceptible.
"The space rules will be completely repaired in two or three days."
"This should be the last chance for the soul body to go back!"
He crossed the plane barrier of Canglan Star again with ease.
This time, his direction was Tianfu City.
...
The temperature dropped sharply, the cold wind was like a knife, and heavy snow fell from the sky.
This capital city guarding the north of Xia Kingdom ushered in its coldest time of the year.
Most universities in Tianfu City have already had their winter vacations, leaving Shenhua University and Qinglong Martial Arts University, but the days leading up to the holiday have also arrived.
"Huh, the final exams are finally over. Sister Xiyue, are you going to eat hot pot? A new beef hot pot restaurant has opened next to our school. I heard that the meat is made from some precious species raised in secret places, and the taste is great."
On the forest path on campus, two tall figures stepped side by side on the thick snow.
"No, you go with Zhaohua and the others. I have an appointment with a senior to practice in the gravity room!" Gu Xiyue held a book in her arms, shook her head and said softly.
"Xiyue, you are really hardworking. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be the first in our class this year!"
"In the practical exam class, the class monitor Zhou Shentong is not your opponent!"
The pretty girl said with admiration.
Gu Xiyue didn't say anything else, but nodded politely.
After the two separated, the girl walked towards the Gravity Building, and the brown plush cotton boots wrapped around her jade feet left a long footprint on the snow.
Seeing this, Qi Sui, who was floating on the side, suddenly felt curious.
He changed his mind about going to the Qinglong Building, followed the girl to the Gravity Building, and went to the second floor along the stairs.
After swiping the card, he walked to Room 203.
What surprised Qi Sui was that.
At this time, there was another figure in the room, and it was an acquaintance.
Gu Xiyue's figure of just over 1.7 meters was tall enough, but compared with Shen Luoyan not far away, she was still half a head shorter. It was estimated that the girl's figure was almost close to 180.
"Senior Shen, I'm bothering you again!"
Gu Xiyue took off her coat, her tone cold.
Shen Luoyan was stretching and stretching her body, her full chest curve was perfectly outlined, and she raised her round and straight legs directly above her head: "It's no trouble, sparring with you will also help my martial arts practice."
Although they said so, both of them knew that this kind of sparring between people of different levels would obviously be more beneficial to the weaker party.
Gu Xiyue didn't say anything more, but just kept the girl's friendship in her heart.
She was able to temper her internal strength in the "9 times" gravity room, and Shen Luoyan contributed to it.
Qi Sui, who was standing aside, had a look of as if he had seen a ghost on his face.
These two women... When did they become so close?
When he was still in school, he could clearly feel that Gu Xiyue had a deep hostility towards Shen Luoyan, and Shen Luoyan also disliked this daughter of the Gu family.
While he was thinking, the two women adjusted the gravity room to "11 times".
In the world of Qi Sui's soul body, the red light belonging to the gravity rules suddenly spread in the room.
The two figures started fighting under the cover of the gravity light.
Shen Luoyan's strength was far stronger than the other party, so she did not use her internal strength, and relied entirely on her strong body to fight with the girl.
Even so, Gu Xiyue had a hard time dealing with it.
"Junior sister, it's really uncomfortable to fight with you. It's far less enjoyable than fighting with Qi Sui!" Shen Luoyan laughed and punched the girl who was forced into a corner by her.
But Gu Xiyue did not fight her head-on. Instead, she relied on her agile body movements to escape from the fist wind again and then counterattacked.
The two fought back and forth for hundreds of rounds.
The light and shadow of the inner strength under Gu Xiyue's skin turned dim, her hair was messy, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her beautiful body curves were outlined.
"Senior Shen, I... I can't do it anymore!"
She panted rapidly.
"Okay!"
Shen Luoyan immediately turned on the switch of the gravity room.
She thought for a while and said, "Senior Gu, your strength has improved very quickly. It's only been a few days, and it feels like you are about to condense the second strand of inner strength."
"Well, I have this feeling too. I will try to condense it during the winter vacation."
Gu Xiyue pointed to the bathroom and said, "Senior Shen, can I take a shower first?"
"Go ahead. I don't sweat much, so I don't need to take a shower!" Shen Luoyan smiled slightly.
I had heard rumors in school a long time ago that this daughter of the Gu family had a terrible background.
People like her who came out of the slums naturally lacked good feelings for those young masters and daughters who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, and Gu Xiyue's performance in school was also cold and arrogant enough.
However, after this period of contact, she was surprised to find that the girl did not have the bad temper of those young ladies, and sometimes she would show a very cute side.
This discovery also made the two people slowly become friends, and it might take a little time to add the word "good".
Twenty minutes later, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Gu Xiyue changed into a simple purple shirt, her wet hair stuck to her white neck, and wisps of hot air kept coming out of the collar. Her delicate face without makeup had a kind of beauty of lotus out of clear water, and her appearance was very durable.
"I'm sorry, Senior Shen, my martial arts style has always been agile, and I didn't make you feel comfortable!"
"You don't have to be so polite to me. I'm a carefree person. I was just joking. Don't take it seriously." Shen Luoyan's tone was a little helpless.
She preferred the kind of righteous and heroic buddies, but the girl was a little too polite.
Gu Xiyue thought for a while and said, "Senior Shen, your fighting style is quite similar to Qi Sui. When he comes back from the secret realm, you two can have a good fight!"
"That guy killed the martial arts master who was crowned king in the Divine Court before. I'm not the opponent of that kind of beast. When the time comes, you and I may be able to fight him!"
Speaking of this, Shen Luoyan's pretty face showed regret: "Although I don't want to admit it, but... the possibility of seeing that guy again is almost zero."
"As long as he is still alive, there will always be hope!" Gu Xiyue's voice was very light, more like she was talking to herself.
Shen Luoyan forced a smile to dispel the somewhat sad atmosphere: "That guy is very smart, he will definitely not die there, maybe he has now occupied the mountain and become the local tyrant in the jungle."
After that, she immediately changed the subject and asked: "Xiaomei Gu, you will be dismissed from school tomorrow, have you thought about where to go during the winter vacation?"
"Of course, go home, go back to Qinhai City!"
Gu Xiyue said: "I also want to take this opportunity to visit Qi Sui's parents!"
"Huh——"
Shen Luoyan stretched out her tone, and she didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she teased: "Are you going to meet the parents?"
Since the solo dance at the party that day, the relationship between Gu Xiyue and Qi Sui has been an open secret in the school.
"Not to meet the parents!"
Gu Xiyue's pretty face blushed slightly, but she said solemnly: "Qi Sui finally entrusted his family to me, I must do my best to take good care of his parents!"
"I really envy you people who have a family and parents!"
Shen Luoyan couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she changed the subject and said: "I have nothing to do during the winter vacation this year, maybe I will go to your hometown Qinhai City to take a look."
"And in the latest batch of tasks announced by the school's task hall, it seems that there is news that the God Court is active in your place. If you are lucky enough to encounter it, you can solve it and earn some achievement points."
"Welcome to come and play with me, Sister Shen!" Gu Xiyue nodded.
There were very few people who could be invited by her actively, which meant that she also regarded the girl as a friend from the bottom of her heart.
Qi Sui, who was not far away, felt nervous when he heard this.
People from the Divine Court were active in Qinhai City?
This was not good news!
A huge human organization like the Divine Court, which was supported by countless foreign forces, had a strong purpose in every action, especially this dangerous action that went deep into the inland of Xia.
Could it be that because I had ruined their plan in the Yushan Secret Realm, they wanted to retaliate against my family?
But after thinking about it again, this was not in line with the usual style of the Divine Court.
Those were guys who would not get up early without profit. My parents were just ordinary people, and it was not worth it to take the risk of being annihilated to retaliate.
There was still too little information!
But as long as there was a possibility that his family would be affected, he would not sit idly by. He simply did not plan to go to the Qinglong Building. His soul body left the Gravity Building and flew straight towards Qinhai City.
He was very fast.
In just over ten minutes, he crossed most of the territory of Xia Country and appeared over Qinhai City.
"Shen Ting..."
Qi Sui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qinhai City is not a super city, but the permanent population exceeds 10 million. If he wants to find the lurkers of Shen Ting from so many people, even if he has spiritual power as a means of detection, the difficulty is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"Should I go and warn the teacher now?"
Qi Sui had an idea in his mind, but it was immediately rejected.
With the identity and status of a teacher, he must be able to receive the information in the first time from the news posted in the school's task hall.
That's right!
Task Hall!
Generally speaking, the tasks posted in the task hall will give very detailed task information.
The soul body fell to the ground and found a "VR virtual helmet experience store" at random. Without much effort, he controlled the body of an internet-addicted teenager who had been staying up all night for several days, and then entered his school account.
The page refreshed, and the first line was the relevant tasks.
"Shenting Infiltrators: According to the news from the national intelligence department, traces of Shenting personnel's activities have been detected in the southwestern city of Qinhai. The number and strength of these people are unknown. Three large-scale rat plagues have occurred, with 86 civilian casualties, which may be related to Shenting personnel. The danger level is A-level. It is recommended to go there under the guidance of the teacher."
Rat plague?
Qi Sui's heart suddenly tightened.
He suddenly remembered that his father had said that there was a large-scale gathering of rats under their mine, and they had stopped working for three days and invited a special rat extermination team.
However, when his father told him about this, it was half a year ago!
If there is a connection between the two, it means that this group of Shenting infiltrators may have infiltrated half a year ago. After paying so much, their plot must be terrible.
"These scumbags!"
Qi Sui cursed.
He had no good feelings towards the "Shenting" forces, and even hated them more than the "God Cult believers".
After all, many "believers of the God Cult" have been bewitched by the gods of the past, but the people of the "God Court" are real humans. Their original purpose was to suppress the development of Daxia and plunder more resources.
When human civilization may collapse at any time, the God Court is still keen on fighting among itself, which is really disgusting.
"Anyway, let's go to my father's mine first!"
Qi Sui was full of worries.
The danger surged like an undercurrent, but he was just a "soul body". Once his mental power was exhausted, he could only disintegrate. After the barrier of the secret realm was repaired, he would not even have the chance to return again.
He really wanted to return to his original body!
