The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 245 Ambush from All Sides
Isn't Xuanwu dead?
Why are there still enemies? Are they reinforcements from the Cangmu Sect?

Gao Yang couldn't think too much, the enemy was approaching.

"Here he is, I'm at three o'clock." Guima said in a deep voice.

Gao Yang did not dare to look back, because he also discovered that at ten o'clock from him, on a huge pipe, stood a backlit figure, who looked like a woman.

Later, Gao Yang and Guima saw more and more figures one after another. They looked lifeless and not like living people. They were standing in various locations in the chemical plant, forming a circle around them.

"I have five here." Guima's voice was not optimistic.

"My side... there are also five." Gao Yang also confirmed.

Gao Yang has already guessed the answer: there are 10 figures in total, most likely 11 of the remaining 10 corpses.

This illustrates two points.

One, Xuanwu is not dead.

Second, the upper limit of corpses that Xuanwu can control at the same time is 10.

Gao Yang glanced at the burnt corpse at his feet with his peripheral vision. There could be no mistake. This was definitely not an illusion.

He and Guima did kill Xuanwu.

Are there two Xuanwu?
"Dark Horse." Guima spoke low and fast, "Based on your inference just now and combined with the current situation, I conclude that Xuanwu's talent is [Puppet Master]."

"Puppet Master?" Gao Yang read these four words.

"Sequence 7, the most powerful summoning talent in the legend. As long as you make a contract, you can control any living body. Now it seems that his [Puppet Master] has been upgraded to level 4 and he can also control corpses."

Gao Yang was shocked: "Could it be that Yan Feng is not the real body of Xuanwu, but just one of its puppets?"

"It seems so."

"But, how could he do it? After all these years, would there be no flaws?" Gao Yang clenched the dagger in his hand, staring at the black shadows in all directions.

Guima was not surprised: "Have you forgotten Yan Feng's identity?"

Gao Yang suddenly realized: "Yan Feng is an actor and a living person. He is just like the lost people under control in the Xuanwu branch. He is just performing the master's mission."

"We still underestimated Xuanwu."

Guima lowered his voice and said very calmly: "Dark Horse, we have no chance of winning, and we can't survive Qinglong's arrival. I'll buy you time, and you can find a way to escape."

"Would it be easier for you to teleport if you escape?"

"My mission is over, and my life priority is not as high as yours." Guima said.

Gao Yang couldn't refute for a moment: This ghost horse really has no humanity at all. He is too cruel to others and himself.

Xuanwu didn't give the two any more time to discuss countermeasures.

"call out--"

An arrow shot over, Gao Yang quickly raised his hand, swung his dagger, and cut the arrow in half.

He looked at the thin young man standing on the tower, who was holding a compound bow.

That's the dead Shuichi!

Gao Yang had no time to be sad.

Above him and Guima, countless crows gathered at some unknown time.

Gao Yang was very surprised. Xiangdie's body had been burned to charcoal by Gao Yang. Although it was later repaired by Suzaku, it could still be used. [Puppet Master] was really terrifying!
"Quack quack—"

The crowd of crows was so dark that they swooped down and surrounded the two of them.

"flame!"

Gao Yang opened his arms and transformed into two flamethrowing guns, spraying them towards Wu Qun.

For a time, countless burning black feathers flew in the air, and burned crows continued to fall to the ground, like falling miniature meteors.

There were also many fish that slipped through the net. They flapped their wings and attacked Gao Yang with their sharp beaks and claws.

But they were all cut down by Gui Ma's flexible and sharp claw knife.

Guima was concentrating on dealing with the crow, and suddenly his expression became stern. He noticed that ice was rapidly forming under his feet, spreading towards his and Gao Yang's feet.

Guima quickly turned around and hugged Gao Yang.

Gao Yang felt dazed as he appeared seven meters away.

The ground where the two people were originally standing suddenly bloomed with an ice flower the size of a rice pile.

"It's corpse No. 7!" Guima shouted: "Talent [Frost]."

[Frost], serial number 25, element system, can control ice elements to fight.

"Shhhh-"

Two arrows were shot at Gao Yang and Guima respectively.The two of them swung their weapons at the same time and cut off the arrow.

After this delay, a group of crows surrounded him again.

"We have to deal with the archers first..."

Before Guima finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the air flow around him had changed and seemed to be compressing sharply.Gao Yang's face darkened, and he also noticed it.

Guima quickly reached out and grabbed Gao Yang's arm, and escaped again by teleporting.

There was a small and short sound of wind where the two people were originally located, and the crows that were originally planning to attack them were cut into several pieces in an instant.

"San Kong's body! It's [Blast]!" Gao Yang shouted.

At this moment, his heart fell to the bottom.

Can't win, absolutely can't win.

There wasn't even a possibility of escape.

Because there is still corpse No. 4. His talent is [Phantom]. He is still hiding in the dark and has not taken action yet.

Guima grabbed Gao Yang's arm and teleported towards the main entrance of the chemical plant again.

After three teleportations, while not forgetting to dodge a few hidden arrows, Gui Ma and Gao Yang arrived at the door.

The two of them stopped because there was a figure blocking the door.

Under the moonlight, his face was swollen and pale, his eyes shone with a strange green light, and a web-like mark appeared on his temple.

There was an obvious break in his neck, but it was sewn up with surgical sutures.

Although the skin and flesh were connected, the neck bones were still broken, so his head was hanging in an extremely weird posture.

This person is Xi Ran.

Xiran opened his hands towards the two of them and made a "gurgling" sound from his mouth.

A strange feeling of powerlessness penetrated their bodies like a gust of wind.

The talents in Gao Yang and Guima's bodies were "dull" for a moment, and they were forgotten.

It feels like you suddenly can't find your phone. You know it must be somewhere at home, but for a while you just can't find it.

Gao Yang knew that Xi Ran activated [Mute].

"Get out of the way!" Gao Yang pushed the ghost horse hard and got out of the way from the other side.

Two arrows missed.

Almost at the same time, ice crystals appeared on the ground.It does not distinguish between friend and foe, and quickly freezes the legs of Xi Ran, Gao Yang and Guima.

Gao Yang felt a chill coming over his calves, and then he could no longer lift his feet.

"Crack clap."

The ice spread quickly and had already reached Gao Yang's thighs.

But Gao Yang still couldn't find the talent in his body.

Gao Yang gritted his teeth, grabbed the dagger in his hand, and threw it at Xi Ran's body.

"Pfft."

The dagger accurately penetrated Xi Ran's mouth, blocking his throat.

Suddenly, the talent came back.

Gao Yang raised his hands and spit out two tongues of fire towards his and Guima's feet, quickly melting away the frozen blockade at the expense of burning each other.

Gao Yang did it, and within two seconds, he and Guima escaped from the restraints.

"brush--"

Guima teleported over and roughly pushed Gao Yang out.

Gao Yang rolled over and regained his balance. When he looked up at Guima, he found that Guima was standing in a weird posture, motionless.

"Ghost horse!"

Guima didn't reply, his face was ashen.

Gao Yang was stunned. There was something wrong with the shadows under Gui Ma's feet. They broke away from the two-dimensional plane and turned into a living three-dimensional object.

They crawled quietly and eerily along Gui Ma's legs towards Gui Ma's body.

Soon, these black shadows turned into countless shadow tentacles, restraining the ghost horse. One of the shadow tentacles strangled the ghost horse's neck and was tightening it inch by inch with slow and irresistible force.

"Ah-"

Huge pain erupted in Guima's chest. Gao Yang felt that Guima's figure was blurred for a second, but it became clear again soon.

He tried to escape through [Teleport], but failed.

Gao Yang fell into despair.

This is the talent [Phantom].

Corpse No. 4 takes action.
