The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 648 Word Power vs. Shadow Dragon
He didn't know much about spatial ability users.

However, judging from Han Xiangman's disappearance just now...

If I were to encounter someone with spatial abilities, I don't know if my verbal abilities would be enough to defeat them.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly struck him.

"Let's try to find this woman using our supernatural abilities."

Thinking of this, he looked around at the space, his supernatural power flowing through his body, and countless threads of reflection flashed in his eyes.

"Nowhere to hide!"

His eyes darted around like countless threads, searching for a target.

However, when the silk threads swept across, they all ultimately missed their mark.

Gu Jianye frowned: "No, if we can't lock onto the target, we can't use the causal threads on the other party."

"This person escaped too quickly."

Gu Jianye shook his head slightly and ultimately gave up the pursuit.

He turned to the people he had captured and said, "Use these people as hostages and launch a surprise attack on Fanshan Town!"

"Yes!"

The crowd readily agreed and immediately began escorting the people along the riverbed into the mouth of the Dark Abyss.

As soon as he entered the mouth of the Dark Abyss, Gu Jianye frowned.

"Dark energy permeates this place, making it impossible for light to penetrate."

"Vision is completely useless here."

He immediately smiled and said, "But this is no problem for me."

He leaped into the air, pulled out a ribbon, and tied it directly over his eyes.

He then muttered, "I can sense a radius of a hundred feet around me."

Immediately, all the scenes within a hundred feet around him appeared in his mind.

This vision was not brought to him by his visual system, but was directly projected into his mind.

The power of words is truly immense.

He flew rapidly through the void, following the riverbed below, continuously moving forward.

However, he hadn't flown for long when he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

Above the void, an enormous black dragon roamed the dark sky.

"That is……"

Gu Jianye was feeling puzzled when he saw the black dragon suddenly twist its body and pounce on him!
Gu Jianye's expression changed, and he shouted sharply, "Freeze!"

In an instant, a series of buzzing sounds reverberated through the void.

Invisible causal threads pulled and sealed that dark void.

The black dragon's body actually stopped in mid-air.

However, its huge eyes were still trembling violently, rolling up and down, clearly indicating that it still had the strength to struggle!

Compared to Deng Ze, this black dragon also has a main attribute of 100 points.

Moreover, it refined the core of this place, and its strength has already surpassed this level.

Facing Gu Jianye, whose main attribute was also 100 points, it naturally had the strength to resist.

As it struggled violently, the entire void trembled slightly.

Gu Jianye gritted his teeth, and in his mental perception, countless causal lines were constantly trembling, trying to return to their original positions.

He tried his best to pull these causal threads to maintain the effect of the [Word of Power].

The so-called "word power" is indeed just as Liang Yuan guessed.

This is a causal superpower.

This ability is achieved by manipulating causal lines to create the power of words.

However, manipulating the causal chain naturally requires the mental power of the person wielding the [Word Spirit] ability.

If one's mental strength is too low, one will be unable to manipulate the causal threads and will suffer a backlash from karma.

At this moment, Gu Jianye realized that something was wrong. The black dragon in front of him clearly had a mental strength that was no less than his own.

At this moment, when he activated the [Word of Power], there were faint signs of being backfired.

While he was horrified, he pulled out a canned object without hesitation.

He then slammed the black dragon down with great force.

Boom!

The canned object slammed into the black dragon's face, and then the can exploded instantly.

A terrifying chill spread rapidly.

In the void, water vapor froze, and large amounts of ice shards appeared.

This jar is filled with ice-sealing runes; once thrown, they can instantly freeze creatures within an area of ​​at least one hundred square meters.

This item comes from the City of Mist and is known as the Icebound Bullet; its power is quite astonishing.

He used this very thing to freeze Pu Shanlie unexpectedly, delivering a blow to Pu Shanlie's back while still managing to escape unscathed.

Unfortunately, he failed to kill Pu Shanlie, which is why he has now been sent to Fanshan Island as an outpost.

Gu Jianye was thinking about how to kill the black dragon next.

However, the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

The black dragon's body suddenly became blurry.

The surrounding icy air couldn't even freeze it!
Not only that, Gu Jianye felt the effects of the words suddenly dissipate.

The causal chain that I had manipulated snapped abruptly!
"puff--!"

As the causal thread broke, Gu Jianye immediately suffered a causal backlash and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His expression was one of shock and anger. He looked up and realized that the black dragon had vanished into thin air.

Immediately, a sense of crisis struck, and Gu Jianye suddenly realized what was happening.

"This is a dark-attribute mutated beast! It can hide in the shadows!"

Realizing this, Gu Jianye was immediately alarmed and hurriedly retreated, shouting, "Shadows, vanish! Shadows, vanish!"

He roared repeatedly, and the dark energy around him was actually repelled, creating an energy vacuum around him.

Meanwhile, a massive shadow descended, but it was unable to penetrate the area.

Gu Jianye sensed the past and indeed saw a huge black shadow moving around in the shadows.

It's as if a three-dimensional being is looking down at a two-dimensional plane.

He could clearly see the black dragon swimming rapidly around him, trying to rush over several times, but the shadow couldn't reach him and it couldn't devour him.

Gu Jianye's face was grim. Using his Word of Power within this area would consume a large amount of his supernatural energy. He absolutely couldn't afford to get entangled with this beast here; if they continued like this, he would be the one to suffer.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianye flashed away and fled back the way he came at lightning speed.

"Help, help!"

He hadn't flown far when he heard his men below calling for help.

He looked down and saw that the black dragon had caught up with him, turning everything in its path into a world of shadows.

His own men were rapidly swallowed up into the shadow world.

Enraged, Gu Jianye flashed and descended at lightning speed.

Wherever he went, the shadows were immediately dispelled, like a pebble falling into a flat lake.

Ripples spread out, the shadows dissipated, and the figures inside were freed.

Gu Jianye shouted, "Let's go!"

Having said that, he took the broken book and fled the floating island at top speed.

These subordinates were the loyal core group he had cultivated during his time as Yang Baoshan, and he absolutely could not lose them.

This is also the team he will work under Chang Yuntao in the future, and its importance is self-evident.

That's why he was willing to waste some time and a lot of his supernatural energy to rescue them.

As he arrived, the people hurriedly followed him, fleeing in terror towards the outside of the Dark Abyss.

Before long, the group of people had rushed out of the floating island at the mouth of the Dark Abyss.

Upon seeing the bright world outside again, the group of people were so excited they almost burst into tears.

Human beings' innate fear of darkness amplified their terror to the extreme when they were inside the Maw of Darkness.

Gu Qingshan and his men came forward and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what happened? What happened inside?"

Gu Jianye said with a gloomy face, "There is a dark attribute mutated beast inside, with a main attribute of 100 points. We cannot attack it by force."

He glanced at the people he had brought with him, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

Because only half of the people escaped this time.

Despite his timely rescue, the black dragon still swallowed nearly half of the people.

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what kind of black dragon is so powerful that even you are no match for it?"

Gu Jianye shook his head slightly: "This island is full of dark energy, which light cannot penetrate. That beast has the advantage of the terrain, so even I would have a hard time killing it."

Gu Qingshan quickly asked, "Then what do we do now?"

Gu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "If we surround this island, it will be dark and gloomy, making it impossible to grow anything, and there certainly won't be enough food."

"They'll come out looking for food sooner or later. If one comes out, we'll kill one; if two come out, we'll kill two."

“But that won’t work either. The King of Fog City’s orders to us are to conquer this floating island,” Gu Qingshan couldn’t help but say.

Gu Jianye glanced at him and said, "What do you know? Without a combat force at the level of gene recombination, who can conquer this island?"

"That guy surnamed Liang must have anticipated this situation, which is why he left this floating island so confidently and returned to Yangshan to enjoy his retirement."

"This island isn't very useful. Unless you're a dark-attribute ability user, there's no point in taking it."

"Chang Yuntao wants this island simply to declare war on us."

“With Fanshan Island there, he can still use it as a bridgehead, station troops there, and start his attack on Yangshan from Fanshan Island.”

Gu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words.

As long as we can deal with the Lord of the Fog City, everything will be fine.

Gu Jianye glanced at his son and felt a surge of anger.

His good-for-nothing son is a typical example of someone who only bullies his own family.

He dares to yell and throw tantrums at himself, but he doesn't dare to utter a single word in front of Chang Yuntao.

They were so afraid of Chang Yuntao that they only dared to call him Lord of the Fog City in secret, or, like the people of the Fog City, call him Your Majesty.

Gu Jianye sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless with his son.

……

In the darkness, Han Xiangman got lost at the mouth of the Dark Abyss.

She felt her way along the ground and walked forward.

After Gu Jianye and the others led their people into the mouth of the Dark Abyss, she escaped from the space and rushed back into the mouth of the Dark Abyss.

She understood that no matter how she tried to escape outside, she would likely not be able to escape the other party's bizarre methods.

The only option right now is to return to the mouth of the Dark Abyss to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

"We must contact Yangshan as soon as possible and ask Mr. Liang for help."

"This person's abilities are too bizarre."

Han Xiangman was anxious, and thinking of her companions who had been captured, she felt grief and indignation.

"Captain Han!"

Just as she was losing her bearings in the darkness, she suddenly heard a girl's voice.

Han Xiangman was startled, then quickly realized: "Jiuyue?"

Yin Jiuyue quickly came to her side and said, "Captain Han, you escaped too?"

Han Xiangman was overjoyed and quickly asked, "How many of us came back?"

Yin Jiuyue sighed, "There weren't many, just me, Chen Guangming, Captain Wu, and the others. Everyone else was captured by the enemy."

Han Xiangman was shocked and furious, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "Where is Wu Ying?"

"He sent me out to scout out the situation while I was in Fanshan Town. I never expected to run into you."

Han Xiangman said, "Given the current situation, I'm afraid we can't get out. Have they managed to break through?"

Yin Jiuyue said, "When they attacked, they used our people as shields and went upstream from the riverbed at the estuary, which alerted the Guardian Shadow Dragon."

"Gu Jianye is no match for Yinglong and escaped with his men. Captain Wu sent me out to see if I could find a chance to escape and report back to Yangshan."

Hearing this, Han Xiangman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looks like they can't get in, that's good, that's good."

Yin Jiuyue, with Han Xiangman, quickly returned to Fanshan Town and met Wu Ying and the others.

Not only Wu Ying, but Luo Hongmian and the others also took the opportunity to escape when Heilong and Gu Jianye were fighting. They were found by Chen Guangming and brought back to Fanshan Town.

Han Xiangman asked, "Captain Wu, how many men did we lose this time?"

Wu Ying sighed, "Nearly half of our manpower has been lost to the enemy."

Han Xiangman's face was gloomy, secretly hating herself for her weak strength. She had actually done such a poor job on the task Liang Yuan had given her.
