Desperate Night.

Chapter 96 096 Countermeasure

Under the light, Yu Hong looked around.

There was a transparent fireplace that still had some warmth, and in the corner next to it, there were all kinds of sundries piled up.

There is a set of wooden tables and benches against the wall, and a sleeping bag under the table.

Not far from the sleeping bag were two sets of enhanced suits placed on the ground. Further to the right was a small wooden frame containing a number of pistols.

Continuing to the right, there is a mace leaning against the wall, and a half-expanded solar panel, which is connected to small electrical appliances such as communicators, light bulbs, and red value detectors.

Further to the right are buckets of water, and plastic bags filled with protein bars, talismans, large pyroxene, and small pyroxene.

Yu Hong scanned the various things one by one, and soon his eyes fell on the small pyroxene that had been strengthened before and integrated with the vortex rune.

Over the past few days, he has studied this thing repeatedly and has become proficient in drawing the rune easily and successfully in one go.

But no matter how he studied, observed, and compared, this thing seemed to be of no use when integrated into the original runes of the small pyroxene.

Seeing this thing, Yu Hong quickly took the enhanced red value detector, pressed the switch, and moved closer to check.

beep.

A red value appears on the LCD screen: -9.622.
"It's still the same. The data hasn't changed much." Yu Hong put down the small pyroxene with a little disappointment, took the recording paper, and wrote down the new test data.

After noting down the value, he put down the charcoal pencil and began to think about other strengthening goals.

After all, his original purpose was to come up with a set of enhanced skills that could deal with evil shadows.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration passed through his mind.

'Wait, I have inner energy now. If I use it to draw all these runes, what effect will it have?'

He had this idea before, and now that he had re-cultivated his internal energy, he could no longer suppress this idea. In theory, his internal energy was created according to his internal strength and could be infused into external objects.

Yu Hong took a piece of wood first, then dipped a charcoal pencil in graphite, held it, and adjusted the state quietly.

Concentrate and calm your mind for a dozen breaths.

He put down his pen lightly, and the internal energy in his body turned into an extremely thin line, flowing out from his abdomen, along his arms and fingers, into the charcoal pencil, and into the lines he drew.

Yu Hong was extremely cautious, fearing that he would use too much internal energy and cause the charcoal pencil to break.

Soon, after consuming a very small amount of internal energy, a new enhanced rune appeared in front of him.

'Hmm' He picked up the board and examined it, but found nothing unusual.

So he picked up the enhanced red value detector and pressed the switch to check.

beep.

'-138.116.'

"Huh? It's so much higher!" Yu Hong was stunned. For a normal rune array, the red value range he recorded was about 120 to 130, and the upper limit was 130, but it was rare to make a rune plate that reached the upper limit.

This can only be achieved with the coordination of ink, wooden board, and gestures.

But he just drew casually, and the lines were very rough and uneven, but he actually broke 130!

"The internal energy infusion is really useful!" Yu Hong calculated the internal energy he had just consumed, which was at most one-thirtieth. The key is that the internal energy will continue to recover and is endless. This consumption is nothing.

'Try again.'

One sample was not enough, so he began to try new wooden board arrays.

Soon, new talisman arrays came out one after another.

The inspection values ​​were almost all above 130, and one even soared to 150!

This is an unprecedented situation.

Yu Hong was immediately in high spirits. He immediately started to dip his ink again, took a new piece of wood, and drew the newly acquired vortex runes.

This time, he gathered all his internal energy and only drew the vortex runes.

Half a minute later, a palm-sized spiral rune plate was successfully completed.

After it dried a little, Yu Hong picked it up and tested it.

'-1.025.'

".It has no effect at all?"

Yu Hong frowned again. This red value was basically a number that came with the pyroxene ink.

He picked up the detector and tested it again.

beep.

'-0.992.'

"Why is there still something missing?" Yu Hong was stunned.

He picked up the detector again, not believing it, waited for a while, then put it down and tested it again.

Same position, same proximity, same instrument.

beep.

'-0.904.'

"It's really too little!" Yu Hong suddenly perked up and became interested.

He had been studying this vortex rune for so long and had thought of many ways to do it, but no matter how he tested it, it was useless.

Now that I have used my internal energy to draw the runes, it has actually had some effect and new changes have occurred.

Immediately, he stood guard at the edge of the talisman array and used the detector to check the red value every five minutes.

Half an hour later, Yu Hong looked at the row of recorded data with surprise.

'-0.889.'

'-0.861.'

'-0.793.'

"Just like before, the red value is decreasing. Compared to the beginning, it is nearly one-fifth less."

Yu Hong stroked his chin and thought carefully.

"Why would it decrease? The red value wouldn't disappear inexplicably. Where did the reduced red value radiation go? Where was it transferred to?"

He picked up the swirling rune board and examined it carefully from top to bottom.

Suddenly, he noticed a change. The lines of the rune array seemed brighter than when he had just drawn them.

"Is it a lighting problem?" Yu Hong guessed in his mind and quickly took other rune plates for comparison.

A normal rune plate has grayish-white lines and a faint fluorescent reflection.

The lines on the vortex rune plate were whiter, and the degree of fluorescent reflection was obviously stronger than the others. And there seemed to be many silver sand-like particles flashing within its lines.

In addition, Yu Hong also noticed that at the very center of the spiral rune, a triangle-like pattern seemed to have a colorful luster similar to a coating.

He thought about it, then took the enhanced detector and moved closer to check.

After a beep, the detected value was zero!
"Could it be that this rune..." Yu Hong's heart trembled, and a guess suddenly flashed through his mind.

He picked up the rune board, brought it close to the detector, and then squeezed it hard.

Click!

The rune plate broke into several pieces.

At the same time, the detector sounded an alarm and the red value soared rapidly.

'-234.772.'

'-391.640.'

'-518.121.'

'-722.913.'

The red value instantly exceeded seven hundred, then lasted for two seconds, then quickly fell back, and then after a few seconds, it was completely cleared to zero.

Yu Hong looked at the soaring red value and stood there in a daze for a moment.

He suddenly came to his senses and realized that his guess was correct. This vortex rune was most likely.

Post Office Stone House.

A broken wall and a yard with blood and body parts scattered all over the ground.

The gray-white stone house with its doors and windows completely smashed was empty, with no one in sight inside.

Click.

A hidden stone slab quietly rose from the floor of the stone house's living room.

The slabs are the same color as the ground, gray, and the gaps around the edges are so realistic that they are difficult to see.

The stone slab was lifted up, and a tall and strong man wearing a high-end gray lizard suit came out.

After the man came out, he stepped aside, and two more men in suits came out from behind.

The three of them covered the stone slab and looked around, seeing that the post office, which had been intact, had now turned into a mess and was in ruins.

"Team two and team three outside are probably finished." The first person to come out said with a deep voice, Li Runshan, from the helmet.

"That monster was too fast. We were lucky to be able to save ourselves." The second man said coldly. "This is their fate."

"You lead the way next." The third man looked at Li Runshan and ordered in a deep voice.

"Okay, follow closely. We may encounter that monster in the wild at any time." Li Runshan nodded.

"Half of that guy's body was blown off, and he won't recover quickly. We must take advantage of this time to get back enough talisman arrays as soon as possible, otherwise the subsequent strange shadows or even evil shadows will be more deadly." The third person said quickly.

"What a shame. If it weren't for that monster, there wouldn't be any problems with the layout of our pyroxene chamber." The second person said unhappily.

"Let's go." Li Runshan took the lead to walk out of the stone house, determined the direction, and rushed towards the safe house where Yu Hong was.

The other two followed closely behind.

The three of them walked very quickly, almost as fast as they could, speeding up while trying to ensure the bass was as loud as possible.

In just ten minutes, they arrived outside the wall of the cave safe house.

On the grass outside the courtyard wall, clothes and shoes of many people were scattered densely.

There were many large scratches on the grass, and even the black soil underneath was turned up.

Li Runshan stepped forward and picked up the clothes on the ground with his feet.

"It's Li Jingyuan's group that was kicked out earlier."

"Everyone is gone?" The second person couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"The number of clothes matches, and most of them are here. They should all be gone." The third person responded, looking up and exchanging silent glances with the second person.

The two of them quietly raised their risk level assessment of the trader who made the talisman array.

The three of them said nothing more, walked to the edge of the courtyard wall and looked inside.

Upon seeing this, the three of them were stunned.

Inside the courtyard wall, on the lush grass, Qiu Yanxi and her daughter were diligently repairing the various pits and scars on the ground.

The two women were still wearing the same clothes, and they didn't even have any injuries on their bodies. There was also a vague sense of security in their expressions.

"There are no multi-eyed birds attacking here?" The third person couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Do you think it's possible?" the second person retorted.

The two looked at each other again, and stopped talking, allowing Li Runshan to go forward and negotiate. Judging from the traces on the ground and the surroundings, this place had indeed been attacked, but the strange thing was that the mother and daughter were not injured at all. There must be something wrong with this.
When their eyes met, they quickly reached a consensus.

There must be a way to drive away the multi-eyed birds!
After all, there are only three of them, and their weapons and equipment are far inferior to theirs. How can they resist the multi-eyed birds with such strength? If you think about it carefully, there must be some special secret.
And if they can get this secret, most of the team's safety problems will be solved!

After all, the most troublesome thing now is the multi-eyed bird, which is at danger level four.

"Yu Hong! Are you there?"

Qiu Yanxi and her daughter also noticed the three people coming over, and they stood up and quickly hid in their own wooden house.

They did not intend to negotiate rashly with these people. Now their relationship with Yu Hong was relatively stable. As long as there were no unnecessary complications, everything would be smooth sailing until the reception team arrived.

These people were not here to look for them, so Qiu Yanxi wisely gave up her seat to avoid disturbing them.

Li Runshan didn't care about the two women. Among the group of people that Li Jingyuan had driven out before, there were some who had similar identities and backgrounds to the two women. It was not like he would just give up on them.

In this kind of environment, no one can control their own behavior.

Seeing no response, he called out twice more.

Finally, the cave door opened.
