Chapter 243 The Power of Pseudo-Divine Weapons

Upon hearing Gu Cheng's words, Xu Feng's gaze swept over the Tianyue Martial Arts University team.

The warriors wore expressions of exhaustion and sorrow, clearly indicating that their exploration of the ruins had not gone smoothly.

However, the professor was not seen in the crowd.

Clearly, the rescue team from Tianyue Martial Arts University did not find the target.

He gently patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Take care of the present first. Once we find a safe place to settle down, we can get more details about the situation."

The group quickly found a relatively safe room nearby and settled Lu Fei on a simple stone bed.

Afterwards, the entire team worked together to clear out the surrounding mechanical creatures, finally getting a moment's respite.

Xu Feng sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lu Fei's hand tightly, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.

Gu Cheng then began to communicate with the other members of Tianyue Martial Arts University, trying to learn more about the situation inside the ruins from them.

The martial artists gathered around, chattering amongst themselves.

"This place is too dangerous; there are unkillable ghosts everywhere."

Compared to these mechanical beasts, they are far more terrifying.

We had no choice; we stumbled upon this place and found it could protect us from those evil things, so we hid here.

"After we entered the ruins, things went relatively smoothly at first."

But they were soon attacked by mechanical beasts.

These mechanical beasts seem to possess some kind of intelligence and are able to fight in coordination.

Moreover, they have both very strong defensive and offensive capabilities.

Moreover, the further you go in, the stronger the mechanical beasts become.

Based on this logic, the mechanical beasts on the mountaintop are estimated to be at least at the level of a God of War, or even surpass that level.

"A tall, thin martial artist said with lingering fear."

"Yes, at first we thought it was just a normal modification of a mutated organism."

I never expected these mechanical beasts to attack in such a bizarre way.

Many of their companions were caught off guard and tricked by their regenerative abilities, suffering severe injuries in the process.

Another martial artist echoed.

Yue Changkong stood aside, listening silently, and suddenly asked, "Have you discovered any special weaknesses in these mechanical beasts?"

One of the female warriors thought for a moment and said, "We have observed that the core parts of some mechanical beasts seem to be relatively fragile."

However, they are well hidden and difficult to find accurately.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng frowned slightly.

Thinking back to when he dealt with that "miniature Unit-01" with a few strikes, he also hit its core power source.

This was thanks to the fact that he had killed a lot of mechanical creatures before, which allowed him to understand their physiological structure.

at this time.

Lu Fei's hand suddenly twitched slightly.

Xu Feng immediately turned his head to look and saw that he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Xu Feng's concerned gaze, Lu Fei felt a warmth in her heart and weakly said, "Husband."

Xu Feng quickly comforted her softly, "It's alright, get some rest. We'll leave as soon as you've recovered a bit."

With that, Xu Feng flipped his hand and took out the Mind-Nourishing Pearl, putting it into Lu Fei's mouth: "You rest and nourish your mind first, leave the rest to me."

Lu Fei smiled weakly: "Okay."

Behind him, Xu Feng turned to Yue Changkong: "What are the plans after this? Haven't you found that professor yet, Captain Qian?"

He said the second half of his sentence to Qian Yitong, the mid-level War God and leader of Tianyue Martial Arts University.

At this moment, there are four teams inside the room.

Xu Feng, Gu Cheng, A She, and Xiao Bai are considered a team.

Yue Changkong led a team.

Tianyue Martial Arts University and the military's first rescue team are considered two separate teams, both led by mid-level War Gods.

The captain of Tianyue Martial Arts University is named "Qian Yitong". He had met Xu Feng before at school, so they knew each other.

Xu Feng did not know the captain of that military squad; his name was Xing Wuyi.

The fact that the military squad still has a full complement of members shows that this squad is quite strong.

"No, Professor Zhou's trail disappeared after he entered the ruins."

However, during our search, we found some clues that prove he is still alive and right here.

Shortly afterward, we mistakenly entered a heavily guarded building, which led to us being surrounded and attacked by a horde of mechanical beasts.

"What about the three missing team members?" Yue Changkong asked bluntly.

Qian Yitong's expression darkened: "They died at the hands of those devils outside."

"Could you describe the specifics?" Gu Cheng took out a small notebook to take notes.

Another high-ranking general from Tianyue Martial Arts University frowned and said, "The person is dead, what's the use of recording this? Can't you have a little sympathy! I hate people like you from the intelligence agency!"
"If it weren't for your information, how would we have ended up in this hellhole—"

"okay!"

Qian frowned and scolded him.

The warrior's lips twitched, and he gritted his teeth and shut his mouth.

Xu Feng glanced at Yue Changkong, who remained expressionless and completely unconcerned.

His teammates behind him did not react at all.

He glanced at the military team again.

The military squad members all frowned slightly and remained silent.

The martial arts team of Tianyue Martial Arts University.

Besides Lu Fei, only Qian Yitong and the warrior remained.

His emotions were clearly on the verge of spiraling out of control.

Xu Feng shook his head slightly, but he could understand.

However, it's no wonder that the one who died was from Tianyue Martial Arts University; their mental fortitude was far inferior to that of military martial artists.

No wonder he often heard military warriors refer to warriors from other factions as "flowers grown in a greenhouse".

Faced with the other party's rebuke, Gu Cheng said expressionlessly, "Captain Qian, is it convenient for you to say something?"

I asked this not only to gather intelligence.

This is also so that we can have as much known information as possible when we leave, and avoid greater casualties.

I hope you understand.”

He seemed not to hear the general's complaints, and instead offered a kind explanation.

Seeing this, Xu Feng didn't say anything more, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Qian Yitong.

Noticing Yue Changkong and Xu Feng's gazes, Qian Yitong sighed.

He thought for a moment and said, "We encountered three kinds of ghostly things, which are what you just called eerie things."

The first type is the figures you encountered in the fog.

We had just entered the vicinity of Guniuzhai Mountain when Zhou Hao died there.

Upon hearing the name "Zhou Hao," Xu Feng was slightly taken aback.

He vaguely remembered seeing this person at Tianyue Martial Arts University; he was a cheerful and capable young warrior.

He is also considered a genius among people.

Unexpectedly, we failed here.

Qian Yitong's expression turned solemn as he continued, "The figures in the mist moved erratically."

Ordinary attacks were ineffective against them, and many team members were hit when they were completely unprepared.

Even if a War God-level being can temporarily disperse it, it will quickly regenerate and attack again.

Zhou Hao was ambushed from behind by one of them, who then burrowed into his body, killing him instantly.

Gu Cheng quickly jotted down notes in his notebook, his brow furrowed, and asked, "What happens after they stop breathing?"

Qian Yi recalled for a moment and said, "After that, the ghost that killed Zhou Hao seemed to have completely disappeared, as if it had perished with him."

Not long after, when we finished fighting, even Zhou Hao's body was gone.

Gu Cheng nodded: "Is there anything else you want to add regarding the attack methods?"

Qian Yi shook his head: "There doesn't seem to be any obvious pattern in their attack methods."

I feel that they launch attacks entirely based on the surrounding environment and the location of the target.

However, we found that they attack more frequently in areas with dense fog.

Perhaps they feel they have a greater advantage there.

Xu Feng pondered to himself, this kind of eerie phenomenon was indeed troublesome.

It is difficult to spot in the fog, and the attack is sudden.

When physical attacks are ineffective, one can only rely on agility to dodge.

You can easily fall victim to it if you're not careful, and the longer the fight goes on, the more dangerous it becomes.

The best course of action is to leave the scene quickly.

Xu Feng nodded, then looked at Qian Yitong and asked, "What about the second and third types of eerie phenomena?"

Qian took a deep breath and continued, "The second kind of eerie creature looks like a giant spider, with its body covered by a hard shell."

Its eight long legs are incredibly sharp and can spray out a corrosive liquid.

We encountered them some distance to the east of the ruins.

At that moment, several spiders suddenly climbed down from the tree and attacked.

If Lu Fei hadn't warned us in time, the sprayed liquid would likely have corroded more than just our equipment and protective suits.

"A corrosive liquid?" Gu Cheng stopped writing, looked up and asked, "How corrosive is this liquid?"

Can it even damage the protective gear of S-rank or higher martial artists?

Qian nodded and said, "That's right. Even S-level protective equipment will show signs of corrosion in a short time if sprayed with this liquid."

If exposed to the protective equipment for an extended period of time, it will corrode and break through.

Needless to say, anything below S-rank would be pierced on the spot.

One of our team members was pierced through the body and died when we later encountered that strange spider.

Moreover, these spiders move with incredible agility, making it difficult to strike their vital points.

Furthermore, these things don't seem to be physical objects; rather, they resemble life forms composed of black sand.

Xu Feng frowned: "Black Sand?"

"Yes, it's black sand. Even if you cut it in half with a knife, it can quickly reassemble itself as if it hadn't been damaged at all."

Therefore, once we discover this, we can only try to avoid them.

If you absolutely cannot avoid them, concentrate your firepower on their legs to incapacitate them, and then look for an opportunity to escape.

"What about the third kind of eerie phenomenon?" Xu Feng then asked.

Qian Yitong's expression grew even more solemn as he said, "The third type of eerie phenomenon is the most terrifying one we've encountered."

They resemble humans, but are much larger, with fair skin, and can stand over three meters tall.

“Human charm.” Gu Cheng immediately looked at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng then looked at Qian Yitong: "Their bodies seem to be immune to most physical attacks."

Moreover, it can burrow into its prey, kill it from the inside, and then turn and leave.

And you only move in one direction, right?

"Yes!" Qian Yi looked at Xu Feng in shock. "You guys have been through this?"

“Yes,” Xu Feng nodded, “That guy killed a high-level lord-level Shadow Wolf right in front of us.”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive.

Everyone's hearts sank.

All three kinds of eerie phenomena seemed impossible to solve, leaving only the option of fleeing for one's life.

The most despairing thing is having no means of resistance.

But at that moment, Xu Feng clearly noticed the low spirits of the group and immediately said, "However, we have now found a way to break the first kind of eerie charm."

Upon hearing this, apart from Yue Changkong and the others, the two surviving members of Tianyue Martial Arts University and the military martial arts squad all looked up at him.

Xu Feng glanced at Yue Changkong: "That's a pseudo-divine weapon created using the will of a powerhouse surpassing the God of War level. It can effectively kill those strange creatures, and Captain Yue and I both have ways to deal with it."

Yue Changkong nodded without any attempt to hide his agreement: "That's right."

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Therefore, we are not entirely without hope."

Furthermore, it remains to be seen whether the pseudo-divine weapon will be effective against the second type of black sand spider and the third type of human charm.

Perhaps they can all be killed by the pseudo-divine weapon.

That way, the monsters that can be killed won't be so scary.

Everyone nodded, their eyes clearly rekindling with hope.

As Hsu Feng said.

The unknown is scary.

But when the enemy becomes known and can be killed, these warriors are not so afraid.

He looked at everyone and said, "The situation is now very clear; we face three choices."

First, we'll lead everyone directly away from the ruins, quickly escape this area, and leave this place.

Second, everyone continues to explore the ruins, searching for Professor Zhou's whereabouts. Once they find him, they will leave.

Third, they split up, with one group continuing to search for Professor Zhou's whereabouts.

My brother Yue and I went outside the ruins to test the power of the pseudo-divine weapon and see if it could truly deal with the black sand spider and the demon.

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "If anyone has any additional suggestions, please share them and we can vote on them together."

After exchanging glances, no one spoke.

Yue Changkong volunteered, "Then let's vote. Raise your hand if you agree with the first option."

Swish!
Inside the room, only Qian Yitong and the high-ranking warriors of Tianyue Martial Arts University raised their hands.

The two were immediately dumbfounded, and then Qian Yitong's face showed embarrassment.

The general was bewildered: "Aren't you all afraid of dying? Are you all crazy! You can't even save your own lives, and you still want to find someone?!"

A soldier from another military squad sneered, "We are soldiers! Defending our country and obeying orders come first!"
You think we're as cowardly as you bunch of flowers? We won't leave until we're sure Professor Zhou is dead!

"That's right!"

Many military personnel present nodded in agreement.

Xu Feng had originally wanted to raise his hand, but seeing this scene, he had no choice but to give up.

That day, the general of Yuewu University immediately took a deep breath, his face darkening: "A bunch of lunatics!"

He then shut his mouth.

Qian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "With Captain Yue here, there is still hope of breaking out."

Since that's the case, let's continue searching for Professor Zhou's whereabouts.

Since we've already come this far, running away now would result in even greater losses.

The general could only nod slightly.

"The second option is for everyone to stay and find people. Raise your hand if you agree."

This time, the military squad was the first to raise their hands.

However, no one else raised their hand; instead, they all looked at Yue Changkong.

"In that case, let's just choose the third option."

The mid-level War God of the military warrior squad, Xing Wuyi, spoke directly.

Yue Changkong glanced at everyone: "Raise your hand if you agree with the third option."

"Shh!"

Almost everyone raised their hands.

Only the warrior from Tianyue Martial Arts University did not raise his hand; he seemed to have lost his spirit.

Even Qian Yi could only shake his head helplessly after seeing this.

“Okay, let’s go with the third option. You find people, and we’ll test its power.”

Yue Changkong stood up and said.

However, just as he stood up, Xu Feng said, "Ashe, Xiaobai, you two stay here to protect Xiaofei."

"Ow!"

"Squeak!!"

The two beasts' sudden cries brought everyone to their senses.

Almost everyone present came from Base Nine, and even if they didn't know Xu Feng, they had heard of his name.

I've heard to some extent about their ability to communicate with other races.

But now that they actually saw him interacting with his pets, they were all very surprised.

At Xu Feng's command, Ah She sat upright under Lu Fei's bed, watching everyone present warily.

Little White, on the other hand, remained lying in the corner of the room as before.

But anyone could see those darting little eyes scanning the crowd.

Xu Feng turned to look at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng nodded knowingly: "I will organize the intelligence I just collected and make a detailed report for everyone's reference."

Let's analyze the activity patterns of these eerie creatures and mechanical beasts and find their weaknesses.

Then, make full use of your advantages to deal with these eerie creatures and mechanical beasts. Don't worry.

Xu Feng looked at the captain of the military squad and asked, "Captain Xing, do you have any other suggestions?"

After a moment of silence, Xing Wuyi said, "I think we can rest here for a while."

Let the team members recover their strength and injuries; there's no rush.

Once I'm feeling better, we'll send people to look for clues about Professor Zhou.

Xu Feng nodded and said, "Then let's decide it this way. Gu Cheng, you'll be in charge of compiling intelligence and producing reports."

Captain Xing, you and your men stay here and recover first.

"Captain Yue, would you mind coming out with me for a bit?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But the warrior in the military squad frowned and said, "Uh, Mr. Xu, it seems you're not qualified to give orders, are you?"

Fortunately, he immediately spoke up: "Mr. Xu has the highest military rank among us."

He was recently promoted to major general, so he is fully qualified to give orders.

At this point, Xing Wuyi immediately said coldly, "The entire Cold Wind Squad is here!"

Swish!
The entire squad immediately stood up.

Fortunately, he immediately whispered, "Salute! Greetings, Commander!"

The team members then quickly and respectfully saluted, saying, "Greetings, Commander!"

Several team members behind Yue Changkong quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Commander!"

Xu Feng then waved his hand: "There's no need for that. Let's go, Captain Yue."

Ah Kun, keep up.

Swish!
Ah Kun instantly flew onto Xu Feng's shoulder and let out a triumphant cry.

Yue Changkong looked at Xu Feng with slight surprise, nodded, and quickly followed.

"Major General!?"

"Even an ordinary war god wouldn't be qualified to be promoted to the rank of major general, right? Usually, the highest rank one can reach is senior colonel, isn't it?"

Even Qian Yitong looked at Xing Wuyi with curiosity.

Hearing the discussion, Xing Wuyi, who seemed to know something about it, explained: "Mr. Xu is no ordinary man. He has already made meritorious contributions and become a senior colonel."

Have you heard of that killer, Zheng Zidan? He was captured by him not long ago.

Recently, two high-ranking war gods among the traitors of the Revival Church fell to this chief engineer.

His battle at Outpost No. 7 made him famous throughout the world.

Most of the martial arts community knows that Base Nine has produced a mentalist comparable to a high-level war god.

It's estimated that Mr. Xu was promoted to major general because of this incident.

The people inside the room were stunned, looking in the direction Xu Feng had left, their eyes filled with awe.

The military officer who had previously questioned Xu Feng's orders opened his mouth, then lowered his head, feeling annoyed.

"Fuck."

"That's incredible!"

"I think I've heard someone mention me, but I never imagined it would be this person in front of me."

Qian Yitong also realized and said, "That is indeed the case. I didn't connect this matter with Miss Lu's husband."

Fortunately, he smiled and said, "With Mr. Xu and Captain Yue joining forces, I am quite optimistic about our future."

One is a legendary genius of Great Xia, the other a legendary meritorious figure from our Base Nine.

"If that's the case, then it really is!"

"The base really values ​​us, sending two such top experts."

"They probably didn't come for us, did they?"

A female military officer turned to look at Lu Fei on the bed and said enviously, "If I could meet a man like Mr. Xu in this life, I would die for him."

The general who had questioned Xu Feng turned around and forgot his earlier recklessness, laughing as he said, "Hey, Su Ying, that's just the kind of man I am."

"Zhao Xiu, can't you be a little more considerate of the occasion?" Su Ying scolded, her face flushed and her brows furrowed.

Zhao Xiu chuckled: "I'm just taking a break, I need to relax a bit. Just kidding, hehe."

Almost everyone in the room fell silent for a moment.

This kid is really carefree.

After leaving the room, Xu Feng and Yue Changkong headed straight back the way they came from outside the ruins.

Along the way, the wreckage of mechanical beasts was everywhere.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of metal and blood.

The entire ancient city was deathly silent, without the slightest movement.

The journey was smooth.

Until half an hour later.

The two emerged from the mountain crevice and arrived outside the ruins.

The surroundings were still shrouded in mist.

The weather, which should have been cold, seemed to have become warm here.

The two had walked a short distance into the mist when a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the forest.

"Chirp chirp!" Ah Kun immediately gave a warning.

Xu Feng and Yue Changkong both stopped and turned to look.

at this time.

A huge black spider suddenly darted out from the nearby woods.

Its eight long legs moved quickly, making a rustling sound.

Before it even got close, it sprayed out a stream of the same black "liquid" from its abdomen.

Xu Feng's eyes sharpened, and he was about to act when he saw Yue Changkong suddenly draw a sharp short sword from his sleeve.

The short sword has a simple and antique design, and looks quite old.

With a casual wave of his hand, a streak of azure light suddenly burst forth, tearing the "liquid" apart and slashing directly at the black sand spider!

Xu Feng's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the spider's body.

The moment the sword light touched the black sand spider, it melted like butter, instantly shattering its body.

The spider transformed into a cloud of "black sand" and immediately scattered on the ground.

The two observed cautiously for a while and found that the black sand had indeed not reformed!
died?

"It works!" Xu Feng shouted excitedly, "The pseudo-divine weapon really works against the Black Sand Spider!"

Yue Changkong also showed a look of surprise: "We're lucky."
