Chapter 492 Taking advantage of a loophole
Xiao Luo's consciousness floated in the sea of light, a feeling so wondrous that it defied description.
He was no longer an independent individual, but had become part of something larger.
What he sensed was no longer the individual psionic fluctuations, but the flow, rise and fall, and tides of the psionic field in the entire area.
He could "see" the strange psionic reactions outside the city walls—
The dark, murky, and putrid orbs of light, like clumps of silt at the bottom of the water, slowly wriggled and gathered.
There were two level-five eerie light clusters, more than ten level-four eerie clusters, and even more level-three and below.
However, the eerie, low-level light clusters are disappearing, seemingly being rapidly cleared away.
Xiao Luo's consciousness contracted slightly.
Those orbs of light became clearer in his perception—
The level-five eerie light orbs were no longer blurry outlines, but their specific shapes could be discerned: one was as thick as a rhinoceros, the other as cold and sinister as a snake...
"Could it be any clearer?"
He tried to compress and focus his perception further, adjusting the precision of the Night Watcher's psionic vision like adjusting a focus point.
The psionic energy within him surged violently, and a glimmer of light suddenly shone between his brows, like a lamp in the palm of a night watchman.
Then, he saw it.
That level-five snake seemed to be rapidly lurking into the city.
"Brother Chen Pei! There's a Level 5 eerie phenomenon under the west city wall!" Xiao Luo immediately reported using his psychic communication device.
Then, his consciousness suddenly contracted, breaking free from that profound perception.
He was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat were falling from his forehead like rain.
"So... this is Sequence 3—The Night Watch."
He opened his eyes.
The dim light inside the stone house became clearer than ever before in his vision. The trajectory of every speck of dust and the angle at which every ray of light was refracted were automatically captured, analyzed, and categorized by his consciousness.
Chen Xi stood not far away, her hands still in a loose clenched position, but her expression had changed from tense to surprised.
"Did it work?"
"Hmm." Xiao Luo stood up, her legs were a little weak, but she still managed to stand steadily.
He looked down at his hands, which were still trembling slightly, but no longer weak.
Chen Pei, who was still watching the battle from the city wall, was suddenly startled.
Although his myriad snakes were scattered around the city, they still had many weaknesses against the strange creatures that were particularly adept at hiding.
If you don't search for it intentionally, it's easy for someone to take advantage of your loopholes.
"Roger that. I'll handle the other one. Captain Fu, you can cover for me for now!"
This is where the team's weakness in high-end combat capabilities becomes apparent; the team only has one Sequence 5, which is somewhat insufficient.
Fortunately, she has had some strange drops in the past few days, and Fu Ruoxue is also making enhancement potions.
"Watch out!" Fu Xiaojian was also somewhat shocked, but he did not stop Chen Pei from attacking.
If the three from Tashan can't defeat this level-five monster, then they should just keep adding more people.
Chen Pei's figure disappeared directly on the city wall, below which was the moat that Tashan had already dug.
It wasn't to guard against anything strange, but rather to provide Chen Pei with a good combat environment, which has now come in handy.
Meanwhile, his myriad snakes were meticulously searching for the tracks of another level-five eerie creature.
He never doubted the accuracy of Xiao Luo's intelligence.
If Xiao Luo says it exists, then it definitely exists.
Just as Xu Si was about to reach the western city wall, Xiao Luo's vision sharing came over simultaneously.
That was practically a God's-eye view, allowing a clear and detailed view of the entire level-five bizarre creature.
This directly saved Chen Pei's search time.
It's a pity they lack a sequence similar to an array master; otherwise, the defenses of their survival base might be even more robust.
"Trying to launch a sneak attack again?"
Chen Pei's figure rose from the surface of the moat without splashing a single drop of water, directly blocking the strange figure in front of him.
His left sleeve wasn't empty; the arm, made of flowing water, had a cyberpunk feel to it.
The aquamarine halo surrounding him looked even more intense than before his arm was severed.
Sequence 5 – Water Rumble.
This rank grants him not only the power to control the flow of water, but also the ability to become part of the water system.
He didn't make any move, but the water in the moat beneath him suddenly boiled.
Dozens of water arrows shot out from the river, drawing sharp straight lines in mid-air, and hurtling towards a seemingly empty spot outside the city wall.
The air twisted violently the moment the water rocket hit.
The eerie Level 5 disguise was peeled away like a torn canvas, revealing a dark blue, scale-covered body.
It resembles a monitor lizard, but has a multi-segmented body like a centipede, with curved hooked legs growing on each side of its body, frantically paddling through the air.
It resembles a snake, a lizard, and a centipede.
However, Chen Pei's water arrows were ineffective.
The dark blue giant lizard's eerie body twisted strangely in the air, its multi-segmented body like a stretched spring, each hooked foot precisely slicing across the side of the water jet, deflecting the incoming water flow.
The water arrows grazed its scales, blasting half-meter-deep craters in the black soil at the base of the city wall.
"The reaction is not bad." Chen Pei now has experience dealing with level 5 monsters, and the consumption of energy is much better than recklessness.
Understanding the weaknesses of a level-five monster before delivering a fatal blow—that's the real experience he's gained from his current growth.
The level-five anomaly that had just escaped Chen Pei's attack tried to hide again right under Chen Pei's nose.
With Xiao Luo's spiritual sense completely locked on, Chen Pei naturally had no chance of losing sight of his target.
"What a pity, he's not very bright!"
With just a few simple water arrows, the eerie disguise was once again exposed.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the eerie creature finally became serious.
Its segmented body stretched out completely on the ground, reaching a length of over ten meters.
Each of its hooked feet is deeply embedded in the black soil, like countless steel spikes fixed to the ground, firmly anchoring its body.
Its head slowly rose, and a pair of murky vertical pupils locked onto Chen Pei's position.
However, that look was more like scrutiny.
Or it's more like a hunter assessing the weight of its prey.
"That's interesting," Chen Pei said in a low voice.
He did not rush to attack.
A dark blue light flashed in the giant lizard's eerie vertical pupils, and then it opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of murky, putrid mist.
The fog spread extremely quickly, like a blooming gray flower bud, rapidly expanding outward from its mouth and nostrils, instantly enveloping an area of tens of meters in radius.
Where the fog passed, a layer of grayish-white mold appeared on the black soil surface, like rotten wood that had been eroded by some kind of fungus.
Chen Pei frowned slightly, his body drifting backward, while his right palm pressed down lightly.
The surface of the moat suddenly exploded, and a wall of water rose from the river, standing between him and the gray mist.
The water wall was transparent and clear, shimmering under the blood-red sun.
The mist hissed as it hit the wall of water, like cold water being poured onto a red-hot iron plate.
The surface of the water wall became turbid at a visible speed, turning from clear and transparent to milky white, and from milky white to grayish brown, as if it were being rapidly polluted by something.
"Disgusting!" Chen Pei frowned even more.
A sudden downpour instantly extinguished the poisonous fog, leaving the strange creature momentarily stunned.
