Chapter 976: Wells’ Gift (Happy Lantern Festival/Two-in-One Super Large Chapter Please Vote for Me)

When He Ao's eyes fell on the skeleton giant, the skeleton giant that kept crawling out from the ground also raised his hand and slapped He Ao with a palm.

So fast!

Feeling the giant skeletal hand that moved in front of him almost instantly like a phantom, even though He Ao had already jumped out sideways when he saw the movement of the giant skeletal hand, he still managed to avoid the huge skeletal hand with great difficulty. palm.

The several-meter-long bone hand with a faint green glow slapped the concrete floor where He Ao had just stood and the railing behind the concrete floor, flattening it instantly and splashing away scattered dust.

But the movement of the giant skeletal hand did not stop because of this. It turned its palm sideways and quickly followed He Ao's steps to slap.

He Ao glanced at the ruby ​​in his hand. It was only now that he had the chance to take a closer look at the ruby.

The entire gem is in the shape of an octahedron, and the overall appearance presents a somewhat eerie polyhedral beauty. However, it is obvious that this ruby ​​is not suitable for holding. At the junction of the two sides, there are sharp and somewhat sharp edges. edges and corners.

But He Ao didn't have time to think about this at this moment. He carefully held the ruby ​​and jumped back suddenly, shouting at the same time, "Decree: Giant creatures slow down their agility!"

The broad skeletal palm slowed down a little at this moment, and He Ao took the opportunity to jump up and further widen the distance.

boom

The giant skeletal hand slapped a wide billboard erected on the street, squeezed the entire billboard into a ball, then lifted it up and suddenly threw it towards He Ao.

He Ao dodged sideways, and the crumpled metal ball hit the abandoned building behind him, directly penetrated the entire building and smashed into the ground behind the building.

"Ruby's decree requires a price to be paid. How many lives do you have to be able to pay for its decree? Your weapon is also broken. What do you rely on to fight me?"

The skeleton giant, which was tens of meters high, had completely climbed out of the ground at this moment. He was hunched over, and his two eyes covered with green flames were staring at He Ao coldly.

He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the ground below the skeleton giant. After crawling out such a large skeleton giant, the ground was still solid cement, not some kind of hollow.

Obviously, this skeletal giant did not crawl out from the underground, but crawled out from some kind of alien space, but the exit of this alien space was underground.

He raised his head and looked at the skeleton giant's body again.

In the vision of spiritual consciousness, the huge circuit of circulating energy is flickering with tiny fluctuations at this moment.

The energy foundation upon which this body is built seems unstable.

Vaguely, He Ao seemed to be able to feel the unstable connection between the skeletal giant and some kind of existence that spread beyond endless time and space through these unstable energies.

Is this the connection between life in the abyss and the abyss?

Life in the abyss cannot escape too far from the abyss?

So ordinary abyss life, like the Hydra that parasitizes Verus, needs a specific host to parasitize?

What is the nature of parasitism? Is it some kind of ritual to connect with the abyss?

Is the parasitized host essentially a special consumable flesh antenna?

A weak and unintelligent abyss life needs parasitism to maintain its connection with the abyss. A powerful abyss life can come directly to its body because the connection is strong enough?

But this connection still cannot support the powerful abyss life to exert its powerful power far away from the abyss.

He Ao stared at the flickering energy circuit of the skeletal giant.

That's why Wells's energy circuit in front of him showed such signs of instability. His powerful state should not be able to sustain it for long, and therefore, he did not use this form at the beginning.

"It seems that you have discovered this. This is not something you should be able to discover. Not only are you very smart, but you also seem to have many secrets, Lynn,"

The skeleton giant looked at He Ao, "But this is not important anymore. This time is enough for me to kill you."

He raised the other skeletal palm and stepped out of the ground with both feet. The bone pillars originally scattered around flew up to the sky and gathered in his hand to form a huge bone rod.

"It's time to end this, Lynn."

The skeleton giant stretched out his hand, grasped the dozens of meters long bone club in his hand, danced in a circle in the sky, and then swung it straight towards He Ao on the ground.

Boom

The tip of the huge jade bone rod flew toward He Ao with a violent sonic boom.

He Ao took a deep breath, glanced around, and suddenly leaned over and jumped to the side.

boom

With a violent sound, the thick bone stick smashed directly into the abandoned building behind him. Then the skeletal giant grabbed the tail end of the bone stick, swung it gently, and smashed the entire building like chopsticks stirring tofu. Crush.

The flying smoke and dust spread around with broken cement blocks, and the bone rod had been pulled out of the building and struck at He Ao again.

"Decree: Use of giant weapons prohibited"

Holding Ruby in his arms, He Ao rolled again to avoid the chasing bone stick.

Almost at the moment when he spoke the words, the huge skeletal giant slowed down in waving the bone stick. At this moment, he seemed to have briefly lost control of his bone stick, as if there was another consciousness in his body. Fight for control with him and try to get him to give up the use of the weapon.

"Ahem"

He Ao coughed and wiped the blood from his mouth.

Ruby's ability is very simple, it is to compile a decree. This decree is not to change the physical rules, but to change the consensus cognition of living beings, affecting the behavior of life by affecting the underlying cognition of life.

Therefore, this extraordinary item is only effective against living things, and the living body can also rely on its own will to resist the distorted cognition created by the ruby, but the decree of the ruby ​​will still affect the actions of the living body.

However, Wells's words are not wrong. The use of Ruby's ability requires payment of a price based on the number of lives covered and the scope of the law. The price can be paid with sacrifices, but if there are no sacrifices, then the price will be Users have to pay by themselves.

Prohibition laws are much more effective than weakening laws, but again, the price to pay is much greater.

And when He Ao stood, the green light in his body was still undulating and flickering, constantly devouring his life.

Wells didn't last long, but He Ao didn't last long. He might not even be able to survive Wells.

"With this, you can't affect me."

After a brief struggle, Wells overcame the distorted cognition in his mind and swung the bone club towards He Ao again.

But at this moment, the hand he wielded the bone club was far less agile than before, and his flexibility and speed were reduced by more than half.

Obviously, his willpower is not as strong as He Ao.

But even if it was weakened, the force wielded by the bone stick was not small. He Ao twitched his body and sideways dodged the attack of the bone stick again.

As the thick bone rod shattered a row of abandoned buildings behind him, He Ao's body also arrived near his original position.

At this moment, after Wells realized that the bone rod had been weakened, he let go of the giant skeletal hand holding the bone rod, then raised his hand and pointed it at He Ao, and fine bone spurs spread from his palm. came out, bursting out suddenly, hitting He Ao like a heavy rain.

He Ao raised his head and glanced at the rain of bone needles in the sky, and then at the brass cane that was first inserted into the ground. He suddenly accelerated his speed, and rushed to the scene amidst the sound of rapid bone needles penetrating the ground. In front of the brass cane, he pulled out the cane and rolled down behind the circular building on the side.

Under the destruction caused by the skeletal giant just now, most of the surrounding buildings were directly demolished into ruins, leaving only the building closest to the skeletal giant still standing.

He Ao looked up at the empty ruins and clean streets around him. He Ao's old-fashioned luxury car parked on the side of the street had been driven away by Eve when the battle began. Otherwise, the car would have become a piece of junk by now. Ironclad.

The skeleton giant behind him raised his hand again, preparing a bone needle, while He Ao looked at the ruby ​​and brass cane in his hand.

The brass cane was actually a weapon Linn prepared for himself. Only the outermost layer was covered with a layer of brass, and the inside was a solid alloy.

But this alloy is actually not very strong. It can only barely touch the C-level level, which is far inferior to the Eagle Claw Knife, so He Ao has never used this.

But at this moment, He Ao's eyes fell on the gem buckle on the top of the brass cane.

In the Federation, walking sticks are decorations and tools commonly used by old-school upper-class people. Since it involves the upper class, it is normal to inlay gems, gold, or even directly use gold to make walking sticks.

When Lynn originally made this brass cane, the custom craftsman also prepared gems for him, but he removed them, leaving only a hidden buckle.

However, this buckle is now convenient for He Ao. Without this buckle, He Ao would have to find a wire to tie up the ruby. Although it can be used with spiritual reinforcement, it is not so beautiful.

He Ao glanced at the ruby ​​in his hand, and then stuck the ruby ​​directly into the buckle.

The size of this ruby ​​was incompatible with the original buckle of the cane, so He Ao violently twisted the buckle before fully embedding the ruby ​​and fixing it.

He glanced at the sharp edges of the ruby, held the cane, and waved it, creating a sudden sonic boom.

Hope it's enough.

Although auxiliary extraordinary items generally do not have offensive capabilities, as long as the level is high enough, they themselves still have strong hardness.

bang bang bang

The bone spurs traveling quickly pierced the ring-shaped building and made huge holes in the hard cement.

He Ao suddenly pulled away, dodged to the side, and hid behind the circular building, relying on the circular building to cover the blood of the skeletal giant behind.

"cough"

He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then he looked down at the blood in his palm and the green light spreading in the blood, and took a deep breath.

The whole world seemed to be silent at this moment.

boom

What followed this silence was the violent sonic boom produced by the huge bone rod cutting through the darkness.

The huge pure white stick hit the old circular building from the middle, like a knife cutting a cake, cutting through the center of the entire circular building.

And at the moment when the bone stick was swung, He Ao stood up, raised the cane in his hand, fixed the top of the ruby ​​​​down, jumped directly to the top of the circular building, and then jumped up directly. Rushing towards the skeletal giant behind the rotunda.

"Well done!"

The skeleton giant opened its ferocious mouth and laughed in a cold voice.

In fact, he is most afraid of He Ao hiding. After all, his power lasts for a short time, and delaying time is not good for him. That's why he took advantage of the opportunity to clear all the surrounding buildings as much as possible, destroying all possible places where He Ao could hide. .

In a head-to-head encounter, he is much stronger than He Ao.

At the moment He Ao rushed towards him, his other free hand suddenly raised and slapped He Ao.

But his palm was empty at this moment.

He Ao's body appeared on the other side as if in a flash, and then he stepped on his empty hand with both feet. He gently used force and moved his body forward, as if he wanted to attack further.

The skeleton giant immediately waved his back and defended himself.

But He Ao's body flipped backwards and landed on the top of the circular building not far away that had been split into two by a bone rod. He held a brass cane in his hand and stared at him again.

"Are you kidding me?!"

The skeleton giant lowered his head, suddenly raised the bone rod, and swung it sideways, directly smashing half of the building where He Ao was standing.

At the moment he took action, He Ao jumped up again, raised his cane, and rushed towards the skeleton giant. This time, he jumped to a higher height and was closer to the skeleton giant than before.

This time, the empty hand slapped again, and countless bone spurs shot out from the center of the palm, attacking He Ao's position.

He Ao's body flipped in the sky and flashed past the densest areas of those bone spurs. His whole body flashed through the densely packed bone spurs like the flowing wind.

Even though the bone spurs in the center were avoided, there were still bone spurs on the edges that brushed against the old man's body.

These bone spurs were equipped with sharp barbs. When they brushed against He Ao, they easily scraped his body that was already covered with scars, leaving behind traces of blood.

At the same time, He Ao also collided with these bone spurs with his cane, turned his body, changed the direction of flight, and flew towards the remaining half of the building on the side.

But the moment he landed, his body staggered and almost fell. There was more and more green light on his body, and his body was covered with blood.

Then he raised his head and looked at the huge skeletal giant. He seemed to hesitate and took half a step back, wanting to escape deeper into the city.

The skeleton giant raised the bone club again, shattering the remaining buildings, then raised the bone club and smashed it against He Ao.

At this moment, He Ao also jumped up almost at the same time.

This time He Ao jumped much higher than before. The old body covered with blood raised the cane with the gem in his hand high under the dim night sky and rushed straight towards the chest of the skeletal giant.

The skeleton giant swung his hand violently, and countless bone spurs shot out from his palm.

He Ao's body dodges these bone spurs with difficulty like the flowing wind, and along with new blood marks, he once again rushes to the palm of the giant skeletal hand.

This time, the palm was still empty, and He Ao still stood on the back of the giant skeletal hand like a flash.

dong dong dong

That was the sound of the huge heart of flesh and blood beating like thunder in the skeletal chest.

This time, the heart is very close.

At this moment, the skeleton giant also lowered his head and stared at the old man below, watching the old man still jumping forward.

This time, he didn't know whether the old man was making a fake move or a real move, whether he wanted to run or move forward.

If he wanted to run away, the bone club he had raised behind him would be enough to block the opponent's retreat and kill him.

But if he wanted to move forward and launch the final attack, he would have to reach back to his chest to block the old man, which could seriously injure and kill the old man.

When He Ao launched his first attack, he thought that the old man in front of him had run out of gas and was about to fight to the death.

But after several such tricks, he realized that pulling back and forth like this was also a way to delay time and gain opportunities.

Now the height where the old man is standing is high enough. The old man can use this to jump a long distance and hide deep in the city.

Once the old man runs away this time, he may never have the chance to kill the other party.

In a very short moment, he made a decision and suddenly raised the bone rod in his hand to block the space behind the old man. At the same time, he turned his palm over and tried to grab the old man.

At this time, He Ao's body finally jumped up completely.

The old body, without any hesitation, raised the cane in its hand and rushed straight towards the violently beating flesh and blood heart.

Super memory, boxing skills, martial arts, all the power was gathered at this moment, stretched to the maximum limit.

The skeleton giant quickly waved his hand in front of him, but it was already too late.

The ruby ​​covered with brilliance was like a stream of light, easily shattering the sternum blocking the chest, piercing the chest of the skeletal giant, piercing the huge heart that was constantly beating, and then penetrated the entire heart, starting from the skeletal giant's chest. The back rushes out.

Smashed into the ruins below.

The huge heart of flesh and blood shriveled up like a deflated rubber ball at this moment. The skeleton giant tens of meters high quickly collapsed and collapsed like building blocks that had lost its foundation. The bones were scattered on the ground like raindrops.

boom

In the pit not far away, He Ao pushed away the building stones that fell to the ground and staggered out of the ruins.

He raised his head and looked around. Within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area, there was no intact building, only empty ruins.

Feeling the silent mark in my mind.

The old man stood up staggeringly, holding a brass cane, looking forward, and walked step by step towards the collapsed pile of bones.

At the last moment, he used Yisi to change Wells' choice.

Although he could not accurately understand the foreign thoughts in Wells's mind that were like foreign languages, after several trials, he still guessed the possible meanings of some of the thoughts in Wells's mind.

boom

At the moment when he arrived in front of the bones, an arm suddenly stretched out from the pile of bones, and then slowly pushed aside the surrounding bones under He Ao's eyes, revealing a face covered with blood.

"You have a lot of secrets,"

Wells staggered out of the bones and sat down in the ruins. He looked down at his human body and flesh and blood palms, then looked at He Ao, and said with a tired smile, "Maybe you are the only one who can change this. Everything, to be honest, I really like this city and the life in this city.”

Then he raised his hand and reached out to He Ao, and a little green light gathered in the center of the skeleton, "Although I can't vote for you, I have a gift to give you. I hope you can finally realize what you promised. "

His figure became transparent and dissipated little by little.

"I will."

He Ao stepped forward, looked at the almost transparent figure, and reached out to take the green light.

The dim phantom looked up at him, opened its mouth, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, which completely dissipated.

The dark green light floating in the dark night fell into He Ao's palm, sucking out the dark green light from his body and gathering it together.

He Ao lowered his head, looked at the place where the phantom had completely dissipated, and touched the ray of light to the brass cane in his hand.

The crystal light quickly enveloped the entire cane and the ruby ​​on the cane, and then turned into profound and complicated lines, penetrating into the depths of the cane.

Eventually, these lights gradually dimmed and disappeared, and they seemed to be completely submerged in the brass cane. However, if you look carefully, you can vaguely see some fine lines like jade spreading on the cane.

The shape of the original brass cane seems to have changed slightly, looking more majestic, cold and sacred, making people naturally want to be convinced.

The gem buckle that was forcibly screwed on by He Ao mutated into several branches, entwining the entire ruby ​​together, forming a simple yet holy buckle that fixed the entire gem.

He Ao stretched out his hand and approached the ruby. The buckle on the cane automatically released, allowing him to easily remove the ruby.

After losing the ruby, the buckle on the top of the brass cane spread quickly like a vine, forming a golden sphere engraved with complex patterns on the top of the cane. The vague patterns were connected together like a crown.

Then He Ao held the top of the cane and gently lifted the cane.

At this moment, the lines all over the cane derived a white substance like jade, which continued to expand, and finally condensed into a long sword with a golden frame and jade body. The top held by He Ao completely turned into gold. hilt.

Then He Ao let go of his hand, and the long sword in his hand converged again and turned into a cane. He brought the ruby ​​close to it, and the top sphere of the cane naturally turned into a buckle, blocking the entire gem.

This cane also has its own name, authority.

Feeling the message coming from the cane, He Ao held the cane, lowered his head, and looked at the place in front of him where Wells's phantom disappeared.

There was an old key that seemed to be a roller shutter door lock.

The shadow of Wells' soul also completely dissipated at this moment.

He Ao lowered his head, picked up the keys on the ground, and looked up at the gunfire in the distance.

To the east of the command center, Covey's ambush was not over yet.

"The decree is lifted."

Accompanied by the old and hoarse voice, the old man slowly stood up, holding his cane, and walked out of the ruins.
