Chapter 234·Turning Point
'They ran away. ’
‘They were very fast and Muto couldn’t catch up with them. ’
‘They have shielded their aura and prepared various hiding methods. In a short period of time, it would be difficult to trace their whereabouts again. ’
'But only for a short time...'
In the Dragon Nest Temple on Sona Island, three golden dragons gazed at the ruined battlefield in eastern Los Angeles. A long-range curse spell was pinched on one of the dragon's claws.
It originally planned to throw it out, with the target selected on the dark gold giant or demon warrior. However, the release of the curse requires the right time. If it is not stuck at the moment of life and death when the opponent has no time to care, it is likely to cause a waste of power and make a useless effort.
That wasn't supposed to happen - so it didn't end up releasing the curse. And when the male MUTO was killed, it was difficult for the female MUTO and the coordinated troops to arrive in a short time, but this group of foreign enemies retreated without hesitation. The situation on the battlefield changed towards a range beyond its planning.
The strangers left.
They disappeared and their whereabouts continued to fade rapidly.
The communication network in America was completely paralyzed by an unknown computer virus. The positioning beacons that were remotely dropped on them also showed signs of instability - or they would be discovered soon and then erased.
The first-mover advantage can basically be judged to be lost-except for those ordinary mortals who don't matter. There were eleven in total, and it was unknown where they came from, but they probably did not originate from the same world as it. Only one of them was successfully hunted.
The dragon's eyes turned to the light curtain on the right - the battle in the deep sea had ended. The one who left the team was certainly quite powerful, no less powerful than the other two. But after all, he was unable to defeat Yamata no Orochi's Titan power in the ocean, a battlefield that did not belong to humans.
He died - the dragon watched with his own eyes as he was torn apart and devoured by the Yamata no Orochi. And it even personally discerned the taste of the other person's flesh and bone marrow through empathy. As a price, three of the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi were broken off, and the main body of the chest and abdomen also suffered heavy trauma.
‘Yamata no Orochi is a relatively weak Titan. Even in the ocean home field, it only has average power. ’
‘Among the extraterrestrial visitors, only two other people’s combat power level is close to this, or slightly exceeds it. As for the remaining individuals, their combat power specifications will not be stronger than the strengthened Xiong Muto. ’
The speculation was wrong, the reincarnators were not as powerful as the dragon expected. In the dragon's plan, the female MUTO and its auxiliary army are just bait to attract the opponent's firepower - because the female MUTO is not much stronger than the male MUTO, but it is the fastest it can do in that area. The power of the giant beast mobilized. This fueling tactic is an obvious flaw. The opponent should have a high probability of killing the female MUTO first, and then quickly evacuate from the battlefield. And this can buy time for the subsequent real killer move to reach the battlefield.
According to the action model of the powerful, there is a high probability that this group of people will be delayed for a few minutes.
But maybe it's because the opponent is self-aware of its own lack of combat power, or maybe it's because three consecutive rounds of ineffective nuclear strikes have too great a deterrent effect. The opponent withdrew from the battlefield when there was no need to escape, and the dragon's plan fell into the open space.
Some regrets.
But even if they didn't do their best, the situation was not as bad as expected - the three giant dragons lowered their eyes, and the luster and arrogance flowing on their bodies gradually faded. In its perception, there are still a total of ten light spots of the same frequency on this planet. Although their exact locations cannot be pinpointed in a short time, they should not have left America.
If they didn't leave, then there would be another day to see each other again - the dragon thought they were eleven strong enemies in total. Because each of them possesses certain qualities similar to those of the powerful Titans. When they first appeared, the dragon even thought that eleven Titans appeared in the north of America at the same time, and made no secret of their hostility towards themselves.
That was really an unexpected surprise, even if this body could exert its full combat power. Facing eleven titan beasts at the same time, as well as the remaining dead species on this planet, he lost more than he won. Therefore, it skipped all the probing methods that it should have under normal circumstances, and directly mobilized all the forces that the North American region could mobilize to attack and kill this group of extraterrestrial visitors regardless of the consequences. However... the final result of the battle situation seems to be completely different from what it expected.
‘They are not that strong...even though the oxygen destroyer mixed in the nuclear bomb had no effect. ’
‘They are just a slightly more difficult group of foreign enemies, and the combat power they currently possess is not enough to invade Sona Island. ’
'They haven't left America...the fight should only come sooner or later. ’
'so……'
The scarlet dragon eye on the right dimmed and returned to a golden color. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the multiple eyes of the severely injured Yamata no Orochi no longer burst out with a scarlet glow - it was injured, and it could not be used in a short period of time. It should go to the Mariana Trench to hibernate and then dedicate its power when the time is right.
There are more than just a few Titans that can be manipulated. If you want to protect your lair, there are suitable options with more powerful combat capabilities.
Just keep it.
After all...time is on its side.
The three-headed golden dragon finally issued a series of instructions and made corresponding layouts and arrangements. The triple light curtain in front of it gradually faded as the power was withdrawn. And it gradually became lazy, quiet, as if sleeping, and gradually became inactive.
It seemed to be transforming into a stone statue - but at the same time as it was transforming, a certain kind of scornful and domineering temperament belonging to the truly legendary Ghidorah was gradually released from the sleeping dragon's body.
It was not just Ghidorah, it had awakened at the bottom of the Antarctic ice sheet a few years ago.
No matter how unsuitable this foreign visitor was to the body of a powerful three-headed dragon. A few years are enough for it to produce some results and gain some staged victories.
This will be realized and become an important weight in the scale of war.
And this also means that time is indeed on its side.
The Dragon's Nest Temple on Sona Island gradually became silent and silent.
And at the same moment, in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, on the undersea battlefield that had been raging due to fighting not long ago. An inconspicuous card is gradually fading in the deep sea.
On the back of the card is a huge whirlpool.
But on the front of the card is another, even larger vortex.
……………………
"The pursuers did not appear, and the feeling of being spied on did not arise... We are safe, temporarily."
In the middle-western part of America, somewhere in a sparsely populated dense forest. The reincarnations who maintained the state of "hurrying through the woods" stopped after a certain degree of physical exhaustion - there was a typical American country town not far away. However, there was no fourth round of nuclear bombs falling in the sky, and the pursuit of the dragon-born legion and the giant beast had already been thrown away to somewhere hundreds of kilometers away.
Safe...for now.
The multi-casting shield worked after all. The whereabouts of the reincarnators should be at least partially erased.
The companions all breathed a sigh of relief - after Jiang Yu made the 'safe' judgment, Li Shuaixi and Mou Gang sat down directly on the open grass in the woods. The former showed weakness due to fierce fighting and nervous tension, while the latter was really weak.
Ling Dian consciously found a tree and jumped to the top, looking around.
Several black knife assassins also appeared around Zhao Yingkong, and then they all escaped into the darkness lightly and quickly. Exploration was launched in all directions - the derivatives of strange objects are different from the reincarnation's original body, because the possibility of exposure for this reason is extremely low, almost non-existent. And similar verification has been done before.
There was no abnormal movement—Zhu Wen did not issue a warning.
Zhan Lan's mental power wavered back and forth across the sky and the earth for hundreds of kilometers. No pursuing troops were found, only a few groups of company troops were seen mobilizing randomly like headless flies 300 kilometers away. And no matter whether it was in the sky or underground, there were no giant beasts that suddenly appeared to scare people.
She tilted her head and nodded slightly towards Jiang Yu.
But Jiang Yu did not relax completely. He always felt that the giant dragon on Sona Island must have left some secret backhand on himself and others.
Mou Gang, who has been cursed twice, is the most likely individual to be subjected to secret hands.
But it's also possible that the answer is another way.
"Zhu Wen." He thought of a way to verify it. "You observe us and memorize the density of calamity energy in each of us."
"Well, okay." Zhu Wen's response was a little faster than he expected. It seemed that Zhu Wen had been paying attention to him from the beginning. Within two seconds, Zhu Wen nodded gently.
"Xia, maintain the shielding spell. Everyone, let's approach the outside of the shielding area one by one in order. Zhu Wen, pay attention to the changes in the calamity aura in each of us. Look at who has suddenly increased significantly."
He walked outside, followed by Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie...including Mou Gang. Nothing strange happened to them, but when Cheng Xiao approached the boundary of the shielding spell. Zhu Wen let out a soft cry.
"The calamity... has increased a lot!"
A positioning signal, no doubt. Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. And in the next moment, all the energy that could be mobilized in his body surged wildly.
Spells... What the Zhongzhou team currently lacks most is the use of serious spells. The tracking mark released by the caster through covert means, they may be able to suppress it by relying on the various rare objects, secret treasures, and even skills they possess. But it is still a little difficult to erase it.
The main part of difficulty is to find it, and the secondary part of difficulty is to destroy it.
Although the reincarnations are all a group of law-illiterates, they can still use a stupid method.
Cheng Xiao's body was filled with boiling energy. Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha appeared on both sides of him at the same time, completely wrapping his body and equipment with divine thunder and hatred fire. At the same moment, the depths of Zhan Lan's eyes also turned pure white, and the extraordinarily concentrated spiritual power reverberated in Cheng Xiao's mind.
Ghidorah is certainly a powerful spellcaster - but its spellcasting ability cannot be much greater than that of the Samsaras, otherwise the Samsaras would simply not be able to escape from it. And since the gap is not very big, the power it released in a hurry cannot be hidden to the extent that the reincarnations cannot detect the clues at all. And since flaws must exist, then what is missing is the heavy external pressure to expose the flaws.
Power, operating at full power.
And in the vortex of energy, a golden translucent eye suddenly emerged from the side of Cheng Xiao's mental body!
‘Poof——’ Zhan Lan’s mental power turned into a sword blade.
With a muffled groan from Cheng Xiao, the golden translucent eyes were finally completely erased.
Hidden dangers, cut off one of them.
After that, the reincarnators made trials one by one under Zhu Wen's inspection. Until no one will experience changes in calamity levels due to leaving the shielding zone. However, once a reincarnation person attempts to remove all concealment and concealment methods on his body, and then leaves the shielding area of the bright spell held up by Xia, the calamity aura he possesses will increase greatly, and Other team members will be implicated.
What this means is self-evident.
But it's better than dying unclearly.
"The situation is already very clear." Jiang Yu nodded with a solemn expression. "Our opponent possesses a method of intelligence detection that is beyond the scope of our knowledge. That's why we were directly exposed at the beginning... There must be some reason that we are not aware of, so the opponent is here. We started fighting directly from the beginning. Therefore, we must act together next, and we cannot escape the intelligence coverage of the spell."
"Can't we use the elimination method to eliminate variables one by one?" Zheng Zha asked: "Just like what we just did?"
"It's difficult." Jiang Yu shook his head. "We don't have people who have professional knowledge of spellcasting abilities. Even if you want to use the elimination method, fine control of variables is an extremely important step... We can't do it, and we can't do that."
So Zheng Zha became quiet.
And Jiang Yu's gaze also shifted, pointing to the small town not far away.
"But sufficient adjustments and rest are still necessary for us... We are still at an intelligence disadvantage. Next, we have to adjust our state while clarifying the specific intelligence about our main target and what exactly happened in this world. What kind of changes have occurred. I have some guesses, but I can’t verify them yet, and these can all be done during the adjustment and rest time.”
"Zhan Lan, scan that town. If there are no special circumstances, we will stay there temporarily."
He just asked this out of habit - he didn't think that a small town he and others found at random had any strange and special power hidden in it.
However……
"Okay... Huh?" Zhan Lan made a sound of interest in his throat.
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yu subconsciously tightened her muscles. But there was no sense of danger.
"Yeah." Zhan Lan nodded and said. "A little bit indeed."
"This town we are visiting is dedicated to paganism."
That’s it, America’s national characteristic. The cult village in the countryside - this thing is often seen in various games, novels, and movies about America. Because America is a country where cults are legalized, even those who worship Satan can still preach normally.
The reincarnations who knew America were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then……
"This pagan god..."
"It seems like it's Godzilla?"
Busy today, only one update_(:з」∠)_
