Chapter 171 The Song in the Dark
Ailey's reaction was a little big, Xu Le quickly waved to her:

"Driving well, don't get excited, the driving is irregular, and the relatives are crying."

Alley frowned, and didn't rush to start the car.

"So you went out this time to test the device you mentioned, has it been made yet?"

The corner of Xu Le's mouth twitched. He really likes talking to smart people, but the kind of smart people he likes are definitely not the kind of people like Alley who likes to steal words and likes to guess, and his guesses are quite accurate.

"Eh... the device is still in the testing stage, so it's not yet certain whether it will work or not."

"Indeed, if such a device is not stable, it cannot be used. After all, this kind of thing that can obscure the heart can easily make people dependent.

Once there is equipment dependence and the equipment fails in battle, it is easy to cause huge accidents, such as sudden distortion, or sudden heart energy exceeding the standard. "

The car restarted, and Alley began to analyze seriously.

Obviously, she is thinking about the problem from the perspective of a warrior, and the situation she mentioned is indeed worth noting.

Is it possible for the anima shield to fail?
Xu Le thinks that there should be. The effect of absorbing the heart energy of Guyinduo's leaves will weaken as the leaves wither, and it will only be a matter of time before they become invalid.

The withering speed of Guyinduo's leaves may be very slow, but they will still wither irreversibly.

"Is such that."

Alley actually had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to test, but Xu Le didn't mention it, so she didn't say anything.

The task area is a plain and hilly area in Zone 3, with some vegetation and trees, but most of it is grassland.

The car stopped in front of a relatively turbulent river.

After getting out of the car, Xu Ting immediately began to prepare logs to cross the river. Xu Le wanted to fly over with Thunderbolt's low-altitude flight, but after taking a look at Ailey and Wang Jing's mercenaries, he gave up on this idea.

"Forget it, let's go swimming."

Of course Alley and Wang Shu crossed the river the fastest.

As advanced fighters, they can jump across the 10-meter river with a single sprint, while Xu Le can only swim wet.

After crossing the river, there is an endless grassland area.

The air is very fresh. There are some animals such as cattle, horses and sheep on the grassland, and there are some things that Xu Le doesn't know.

Feeling the breath of the grassland, taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Xu Le asked a stupid question:
"Why doesn't this wild animal cause a weird refresh? They shouldn't drill wood to make fire, right?"

This seems to be common sense, but most people have no reasonable explanation.

Xu Le glanced at Wang Shu, Wang Shu moved his mouth, as if he knew it, but he didn't say anything.

In the end, their group leader, the widow Wang Jing, explained:
"According to the research of some warlocks, the souls of animals are not strong enough, and their anima cannot attract the gaze of darkness, so it doesn't matter if animals are in the dark."

Dark gaze?
This statement sounds a bit like describing darkness as a creature.

Just like what the puppet said about fate before.

"There are so many animals, there will always be one or two mutants, right? What about those with particularly strong souls and hearts?"

"Isn't that the Ancient God?" Xu Ting interrupted.

"After the animal mutated, did it become an ancient god... It seems to be such a thing, hey, come here, Da Ting."

"what?"

"You take this."

Xu Le handed Xu Ting an Anima Blocker, and after briefly telling Xu Ting the effect and how to use it, he began to enjoy Xu Ting's adoring eyes.

It feels good to be admired, but one cannot be inflated.

The other Xu Le was originally going to be handed over to Wang Shu, but Wang Shu said that his heart energy did not fluctuate much, so Xu Le had to throw it to Alley for testing.

She is very interested in this thing, and Xu Le knows it very well.

As for those mercenaries, Xu Le was really worried.

A group of people walked on the grass, except that the water vapor was a little big and they often stepped on the feces of various animals, their progress was hardly hindered.

By the time it was 5 pm, the travel time had exceeded 4 hours.

During this period, they did not encounter any weird ones...

In this situation, Xu Le couldn't help but want to divide the troops. He proposed the idea of ​​dividing the troops, but neither Xu Ting nor Wang Jing agreed.

Wang Jing's reason was that she needed to consider the safety of her team members.

Xu Ting felt that it was not suitable to disperse the force of the group before the unknown area was developed in detail.

"They are all unique ideas in each region!"

Since someone disagreed, Xu Le didn't force it.

Time soon came to night, Xu Le and the others stopped in a hilly forest.

This forest is not the dense forest in the previous mission, but the situation where a tree can only be seen a few meters away.

The mercenaries of the widow had already started camping on the spot, and they were skilled in their techniques, and the bonfire was quickly set up.

Xu Ting ran to Xu Le eagerly:

"Brother Xu Le, the task is too easy. We didn't even meet a single beast... There is really no way to test the effect of this thing."

Xu Le glanced at the plains and hills, and nodded.

"There is really no way to test it."

Without fighting and weirdness, it is difficult for a warrior like Xu Ting to have strong heart energy fluctuations.

After pondering for a while, Xu Le didn't think of any good solution.

"I can't help it. Ms. Alley asked me to take on simple tasks before, but now it's very difficult for me to handle."

Xu Le spoke with the intention of complaining, but Alley just frowned and didn't refute.

She wanted to take Xu Le to find Zhang Nuo'an after completing the task as soon as possible.

"Only for simple tasks can I guarantee the completion time. Zhang Nuo'an is impatient. We have to go back in 4 days."

"What's the background of Director Zhang, is he a big official? You are also an executive officer, right? Why do you listen to him so much?"

When Xu Le asked this question, Alley stood up with an ugly face, and she didn't seem to want to say too much about Zhang Nuo'an's question.

"I'm going to patrol to see if there are any weird things around, and I'll help you test the anima shielding device by the way."

Looking at her expression, Xu Le knew that Ailey was probably a licking dog, or the kind that couldn't be licked.

Licking a dog will not end well.

"Are you going to test? How to test?"

Under Xu Le's astonished gaze, Alley walked into the darkness alone.

Xu Ting sat aside and whispered:

"Running alone at night to find Wei Wei is quite arrogant. This woman is very bad in the work unit. Brother Xu Le, you have to pay attention."

Xu Le curled his lips. He had done a similar thing once before, and that was when he had just succeeded in cultivating the Elemental Electric Fruit.

Now he has a lot of cultivation methods, and the method of going into the darkness alone to attract monsters is completely unnecessary.

Taking out dry food and water, Xu Le leaned against the tree and ate.

There is a high probability that he will have to rely on Muyue to get through the night when there is no harvest.

At this time, Wang Jing, the head of the mercenary regiment, took off the scarf she had been wearing all the time, knelt in front of the bonfire, clasped her hands, and muttered something.

"May the light shine upon us, may the flame give us strength, may our courage dispel fear, and may we be free from mosquitoes."

Xu Le originally thought it was just a simple prayer, but after she finished chanting.

He actually began to use moonstone powder to smear the curse seal array on the ground. There are four arrays in total.

First, a small ball of light rises. This light is brighter than the flame, and it stands on the side of the treetops, a bit like a hanging night light.

Then a burst of warm heat flowed into the whole body. Xu Le clenched his fists and felt that he had indeed become stronger. This should not be an illusion.

The third technique should be courage?Xu Le didn't have heart fluctuations, so he didn't feel it either.

The fourth technique is the ability to repel insects?Xu Le only had one word for this technique.

it is good!
After Wang Jing finished using the four techniques, Xu Le couldn't help admiring:
"Your team leader is really awesome."

"Of course." Gu Si Ni was very happy to hear Xu Le praise her leader.

"What ability is Ms. Wang Jing using?"

"Blessing spell, similar to the effect of blessing."

Hearing what Wang Jing said, Xu Le nodded slightly.

"I see."

Such an auxiliary character can improve the entire team, and becoming the team leader is indeed a matter of course.

But this is not the end of the story...

After releasing the blessing spell, Wang Jing actually took out a slightly heavy sword from his backpack and waved it slowly, apparently exercising.

Xu Le: ...

"Isn't Ms. Wang Jing a warlock? Why do you still use such a heavy weapon?"

"I am from Tianrui Lifeng, people from Tianrui Lifeng always have to learn some self-defense methods, because we have to fight against monsters, even warlocks.

Warlocks will also lose the protection of warriors sometimes, and many things still depend on themselves in the end. "

"That makes sense." Xu Le nodded.

These mercenaries will do some exercise after eating, including Wang Shu, which belongs to the daily life of warriors.

Of course, there are also lazy ones. After practicing for a while, one of them took out a harmonica and started playing.

The sound of the piano is a bit dry, and a layman of music like Xu Le can hear that the tune is often out of tune.

But in the wild, it's nice to have someone playing the piano, and no one will ask too much.

The firelight and the lighting released by Wang Jing lit up the area, and some courageous wild animals also came over at this time. They were very close, and the light and the warmth of the firelight made them very curious.

Animals in the wild during the Dark Ages were not particularly afraid of humans.

Although a safe distance was kept, they were already very close at this time.

Xu Le was still thinking about whether to kill two of them to get some game.

But suddenly, I don't know if it was because of the sound of the zither, there was a melodious singing sounded at the far end of the hill, as if responding to the mercenary's zither sound.

Xu Le and Wang Shu were startled, and immediately became alert:
"alert."

"what sound?"

"Singing, women's singing, and some flute sounds?"

"What is she singing?"

"Can't understand."

Xu Le also frowned slightly. Although his English was not very good, he could still tell that the singing was not in an English-like language.

On the contrary, it resembles the accent of the area in Southeast Asia in the previous life.

"How to say?" Wang Shu looked at Xu Le.

"This distance is too close. If the singing is always on, there is no way to rest. Go and have a look."

"Heiye's actions? Is it too dangerous?" Wang Jing asked.

"It is a necessary action to eliminate the danger in the safe area."

This time the operation was directed by Xu Le, Xu Ting and Wang Shu were the only ones following his lead, and Wang Jing's mercenaries did not show any opposition.

Several people turned on the lights and started walking in the direction of the singing.

When everyone stepped on a hill, the melodious singing suddenly stopped.

After Wang Shu and Xu Le glanced at each other, he quickly jumped up the hill and looked down.

"There is a pond."

Xu Le also followed at this time and looked in the direction Wang Shu pointed.

There is indeed a pond in the distance, and the moonlight reflects on the water, as if something has been here before.

Xu Le scanned around the pond with Gu Yinduo's vision, but found nothing special, and did not sense Gu Yinduo's aura.

"Is it human?"

If it wasn't for the huge difference in voice, he would even wonder if Alley sang the song just now.

Xu Le drew out an Guyinduo card and directly carried out the divination.

"Will there be a weird appearance in the pond?
The technique - all - ancient sounds and many secret words. "

【Red Card-Flower】

A small flower that is opening breaks the soil.

Positive: life, strong, full of hope.

Opposite: rebirth

"Flowers..."

Xu Le took out his black staff and walked forward first. Wang Jing behind him shouted:

"Isn't Mr. Xu Le a Warlock? Even if the Red Moon Warlock can predict the crisis, it's too dangerous to go ahead like this."

Wang Jing's reminder was considered a good intention, but among the current team members, the one with the strongest survivability is Xu Le himself, even though he is a warlock.

"Ms. Wang Jing is right, Brother Shu, go first."

Wang Shu didn't say anything, he took the lead and walked to the pond, and then said to the two mercenaries behind him:

"Re-do the bonfire."

"Hey, Wang Shu, you..."

The two were obviously unwilling to obey Wang Shu's order, but the widow Wang Jing immediately stopped them.

"Shut up and obey orders."

"Uh, yes."

Ge Si Ni did not tell Wang Jing that Wang Shu and Xu Le were night watchmen, but Wang Jing was not a fool, and she already felt that Wang Shu's field experience was extraordinary from her contact.

Wang Shu is only a "person of his own" in name, and Xu Le and Wang Shu obviously wear a pair of pants, so it's better not to go against their agreement at this time.

The mercenaries moved quickly, and there was plenty of firewood here. It didn't take long for them to light a new bonfire by the river.

The campfire illuminated the pond, but the reflection of the fire prevented everyone from seeing what was under the water.

"call!"

There was a relatively heavy sound of blowing water, as if some creature had just exhaled in the water.

The water vapor sprayed 3-4 meters high, Xu Le thought, even if it was a hippo or an elephant, it would not be so outrageous to blow a breath, and there are whales under the water?

"Brother Shu, go and have a look."

"it is good."

The communication between the two was very simple. After Wang Shu nodded, he came to the pond and squatted down.

He stretched his arm into the pond, and then a golden light shone from Wang Shu's eyes.

The golden bright branch protruding from the arm quickly extended to the ground of the pond, and the light of the golden tree gradually illuminated the bottom of the water.

"Wow, what kind of ability is this!" Xu Ting asked in amazement.

"It's Brother Tree's fruit ability, the tree of intermediate biological energy, so don't make any fuss." Xu Le explained blindly.

"Oh! I'm so envious." Xu Ting was indeed full of envy.

In fact, Wang Shu's golden light tree, even Ge Si Ni and the others saw Wang Shu use it for the first time.

But this is not the first time they have seen it. When Wang Shu met Wang Shu in Tianrui Lifeng at first, Wang Shu couldn't control this ability at all, and the branches on his body often popped out, so they were not surprised.

Although the water in the pond was a bit muddy, everyone could still see things in the water clearly with the help of the light from the Bright Tree.

A man, a woman, and a cow.

"Damn it, it's really weird. I shot you down with one shot."

One of the mercenaries had already taken out Tianrui Lifeng's tube gun at this time.

Even Xu Ting had drawn his gun to be on guard at this time, and Xu Le felt a trace of heart energy flowing towards him. Could it be that Xu Ting had activated the heart energy shield?

Or is it that Aerie in the distance produces an animatronics fluctuation?
He didn't know how much heart energy they had fluctuated, but the heart energy that flowed to him was only a little bit of it, and the small amount was almost negligible.

Judging from this ratio, the heart can pull wool plan has a long way to go!

Xu Le waved to the others.

"Let it all go."

"It's weird, don't you kill it?"

Xu Le shook his head slightly, killing Weird is indeed the choice most people would make.

Because many people rely on experience to judge weirdness.

Many people have no way to distinguish the weird types of abilities, whether it is the ancient Yinduo, the red moon, the evil god, or the ancient god, they have no way to distinguish clearly.

The only way is to kill all the weirdnesses you see, which is also the safest way.

[Cowherd, level 1 weird, ancient god, a dead spirit walking by the pond, accompanied by his cow. 】

[Lingmoo, level 4 weirdness, ancient god, a cow strolling by the pond, accidentally drowned his cowherd. 】

[Rain girl, level 2 weirdness, ancient god, rain-calling deity, shikigami loved by creatures. 】

Apart from the fact that Ling Moo drowned his own cowherd, which was a bit funny, and the level of this cow was a bit high, there was basically nothing wrong with these three ancient gods.

Niulang is just an ordinary young man in underpants, holding a flute in his hand.

Yunu's body is covered with clothes made of lotus leaves, and she also holds a lotus leaf as an umbrella in her hand.

And Ling Moo is an ordinary cow, at most a bigger cow.

They showed no killing intent, nor obvious hostility.

"They are the three ancient gods, don't get too excited, let me negotiate first."

After Xu Le calmed down the mercenary's emotions, he walked slowly to the pond:

"If you can understand me, come up and talk to us if you don't want to fight."

Lingmoo's temper is obviously not very good. It seems to be very disgusted with Xu Le and others, especially the golden light tree extended from Wangshu.

But the Cowherd comforted Ling Moo at this time:

"Don't get excited, cow, they're human, I'll go talk to them."

The Cowherd rode on the ox, and led the Yunu girl, and walked out of the water slowly.

When the cow really appeared in front of everyone, they felt the weird pressure of Level 4.

This cow...is so big!
It is as high as a 2-story building, and the length is close to 10 meters, which is outrageous.

Xu Le walked forward without any fear.

But before he got close, Alley, who had been wandering in the dark before, suddenly appeared and stopped Xu Le.

"This kind of behavior is too dangerous, after all, it is wild."

"I have a certain ability to protect myself, and don't you still have you?"

Allie frowned, but still put down her hand, but she followed behind Xu Le.

Ling Moo looked at Alley with even more vigilant eyes. It felt that this woman was very dangerous.

"Hi, my name is Xu Le."

When Xu Le walked up to the cow, the cowherd jumped down very friendly and scratched his head.

"Hi, I'm Niu Lang, my name...it's been too long, I forgot."
