Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 553 Launch!

"Brother Xu, can we still leave alive?"

On the roof, Wenwen saw the rising water of Yellow Spring, which was extremely cold. She heard that people who died of drowning suffered the most, as their skin would be soaked and rotten, like soft lard, which would break at the slightest touch.

"To be honest, I don't know either, but if I have to die, I will definitely die with you."

Xu Yan was not good at comforting girls, so he could only give a guarantee that he was sure of, and then he took out a pistol from the space and handed it to Wenwen.

"This...I don't know how to do it."

Looking at the pistol handed to her, Wenwen instinctively wanted to refuse.

"It's very simple, just three points and one line."

Wenwen nodded. She couldn't remember where she had seen this sentence, but it was definitely in her mind and she knew what it meant.

So he took the pistol and repeated the three points and one line in his mind.

"Crash..."

The Yellow Spring under my feet was getting higher and higher, and the water surface had begun to spread to my feet.

The occasional sounds of fighting coming from the distance made Wenwen and Xu Yan very nervous. Xu Yan stuck his head out from time to time and looked around anxiously.

They followed Xiao Ran's instructions and hid on the rooftop closest to the exit.

Not far below is the archway of the Evil Ghost Market, but the problem is that the archway has been submerged by the dim water and is only about one meter high, not to mention the entrance and exit from here, which is completely invisible.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Xiao!"

Xu Yan was secretly worried about Xiao Ran.

They hid far away, so they were not affected by the parade, but they still saw the bloody scene from afar and heard the strange nursery rhyme.

Not to mention Wenwen, even Xu Yan couldn't help but feel his legs go weak, it was too weird.

It has far exceeded the maze cities that he had encountered before.

If it weren't for Xiao Ran, Xu Yan felt that if he were alone, he would probably have to die here.

"They are both D-level, why is there such a big difference?"

"No, after I return this time, I will apply to go to the Lost City. I must improve my strength no matter what."

When Xu Yan was lost in thought, he heard Wenwen's heavy breathing. He glanced in Wenwen's direction and saw Wenwen pointing a gun at him.

"Don't move!!" Wenwen held the butt of the gun with both hands, her lips still trembling as she silently recited the four words "three points and one line".

Xu Yan was stunned and was about to say something.

"Bang!!!" A gunshot was heard, and at the same time a ball of cold liquid splashed on Xu Yan's body, making Xu Yan shudder all over. He looked back and saw that a black thing had quietly appeared behind him. The bullet had made a hole in it, and light purple liquid splashed out from the wound.

"what!!"

Xu Yan was also startled. He pulled out his long stick and hit the black shadow. After knocking it out with one blow, the black shadow immediately went into the underworld and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yan looked back at Wenwen, and seeing her let out a long sigh of relief, he gave Wenwen a thumbs up.

"well done!"

If an ordinary person were to shoot for the first time, his accuracy and power would be insufficient, and even if he knew the three-point straight line, he would not be able to be so accurate.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran had asked Wenwen to drink a bottle of all-purpose potion before, which enhanced three attributes by 10 points. For an ordinary person like Wenwen who has not yet become a beginner, the improvement is huge.

Just 10 points of mental strength is enough for her to compete with well-trained snipers.

Wenwen also breathed a sigh of relief. After getting Xu Yan's approval, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she also felt more confident.

But before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, bubbles the size of fists suddenly began to emerge from the surrounding water surface.

"Be careful!!"

Xu Yan's face changed, and he stood in front of Wenwen. He put his hands on the long stick, and as the spell patterns were activated, orange-yellow flames flashed on the stick.

"Snapped!!"

A rotten hand emerged from under the water, followed by a dark shadow rushing out from under the water.

"roll!!"

The long stick in Xu Yan's hand rolled up a flame, forming a sky full of flying fire, which smashed towards the black shadow.

As the saying goes, among all weapons, the long stick is the ancestor.

Xu Yan's stick technique was even more extraordinary. Combined with the D-level cursed item [Flame Sun Long Stick] in his hand, it was extremely powerful. Countless stick shadows, wrapped in flames, hit the black shadow with a "crackling" sound.

"No matter what you are, this is enough to make you drink a pot."

Seeing that all his stick techniques had hit the opponent, Xu Yan felt secretly delighted.

His stick technique is inherited from the Shaolin stick sect and is designed to hit acupoints. The Yanyang long stick in his hand has a special privilege. Each attack will accumulate a layer of fire damage. The higher the number of layers of fire damage, the stronger the damage.

Finally, when the number of layers reaches the highest level, a fire explosion occurs.

As a set of stick techniques fell like raindrops, the black shadow did not move at all, just waiting for Xu Yan to reach the highest level.

Xu Yan's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Fire Explosion!!" "Boom!"

The privilege was activated, sparks flashed on the Dark Shadow Mountain, and then a huge fireball exploded.

"He should be dead!"

Xu Yan retreated with the impact of the explosion. Looking at the figure that had been engulfed in the flames and had already started to smell burnt, he felt relieved.

"boom!!"

At this time, the sharp sound of gunfire rang out in the distance.

"It's Brother Xiao!"

Xu Yan's eyes lit up. The piercing gunshot was from the positioning gun he had given to Xiao Ran.

The special gunshot was very harsh, and it was obvious that the time had come when Xiao Ran needed it.

Immediately, Xu Yan took out the specially made individual missile from the space and carried it on his shoulder.

Turn on the safety and activate the trajectory tracking.

When Xu Yan saw the green light on the ballistic locator, he was about to pull the trigger.

However, he didn't expect that the fire behind him suddenly exploded at this moment, and a palm that had been burnt by flames stretched out from the sea of fire and punched Xu Yan.

The shadow moved too fast for Wenwen to react at all. By the time Xu Yan realized something was wrong, it was too late to dodge. He instinctively wanted to block the missile launcher in front of his chest, but then he remembered that Xiao Ran was waiting for the missile, so he had to turn around and block the missile launcher with his back.

"boom!!"

A muffled sound similar to hitting a sandbag was heard, and Xu Yan felt a huge force penetrate into his chest from his back, and his whole body flew up.

"Bang!"

Xu Yan's back hit the guardrail on the roof heavily, and a fishy and sweet taste rose in his throat. The black shadow dissipated from the fire on his body, looking like a human but not a human. It was clearly a human outline, but from top to bottom, there was no trace of a human.

“Three points. One line.”

Wenwen raised her pistol tremblingly, but the bullet penetrated the black shadow and hit the wood next to her. The black shadow turned around and suddenly raised his arm to sweep towards Wenwen.

"Be careful!!"

In a flash, Xu Yan spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and swept the Yan Yang stick in his hand across the black shadow's lower body. Sparks splashed a pale light on the water surface and hit the black shadow's calf directly.

But the result was just that the black shadow's body tilted forward slightly, and its sharp claws still swept towards Wenwen.

Wenwen felt a piercing chill on her left shoulder, and her body flew backwards, falling heavily into the water. She felt a tearing pain in her left shoulder. When she glanced sideways, she saw that her left shoulder was covered in blood.

Dark red flesh was rolling at the tear, and black blood with ice on the edge of the wound was seeping into the accumulated water.

As a little girl from the south, she had always been the apple of her parents' eyes. She had never suffered such an injury before. The severe pain made Wenwen's body tremble, and she was also struck by a feeling of suffocation.

It was at this moment that Wenwen suddenly saw the individual missile launcher soaked in water three meters away. The metal shell was shining coldly in the moonlight. Her eyes lit up and she gritted her teeth and climbed up again.

"Fuck you!!"

Xu Yan roared and chopped at the black shadow with the Yan Yang Stick, but this time the black shadow was faster. His slender arms quickly wrapped around the stick as if they had no bones, and then twisted.

This D-level cursed item, a masterpiece by Master Donglongfang, was twisted into a dough twist in an instant.

The black shadow's liquid arm suddenly stretched out, and its fist covered with asphalt-like substance hit Xu Yan's abdomen, sending him flying five meters away. His back hit the brick wall, leaving spider-web-like cracks.

Before Xu Yan could get up, the black shadow's arms had already wrapped around him, and were about to lift Xu Yan up from the ground like a chicken.

In the dim light, one could see that under the shadow's face with indistinguishable features, there was a human-shaped skeleton wrapped in what looked like a large slime.

It is impossible to see any emotion on such a face without any facial features.

"Did he die here?"

The arm wrapped around his throat gradually tightened, and a strong feeling of suffocation came over him, making Xu Yan think of a lot of things.

I recalled the days when I joined the special forces for special training, and those old friends. Then one day I was suddenly transferred and inexplicably became a delivery man.

I still remember the look of surprise on my face when I was holding the coat from the delivery company, while my younger brother next to me had a magnanimous expression on his face.

At that time, he was so depressed that he wanted to go crazy, but the general sitting in front of him stared at him without blinking: "This is a mission!"

"So...is my mission...completed?"

Just as Xu Yan's consciousness was gradually fading, he heard Wenwen's cry in a trance.

"Hey! This way!"

Xu Yan turned his head and tried to open his eyes wide, and his blurred vision slowly began to refocus.

When Wenwen picked up the individual missile launcher and pointed the muzzle towards this side, Xu Yan felt like laughing for some reason. He didn't know what to laugh at, but there was an unconscious emotion spreading in his heart.

The black shadow turned around and looked at the thing on Wenwen's shoulder. It didn't know what it was, but it instinctively stretched out its other arm to grab Wenwen.

"No matter what! Let's die together!"

Looking at the arm that was grabbing towards her, Wenwen's mind went blank. She gritted her teeth, aimed forward and pulled the trigger...
