Chapter 94 Star Chasing Journey (15)
Under the starry sky, Chen Shanyuan, Kuang Bowen, and Lu Junan, who had a serious waist injury, stood on the rooftop, their weapons dripping with fresh blood.
On a small path in the distance, Yu Jinling and Song Ru were being dragged like limp ragdolls on the ground by a group of weird objects wearing dark blue uniforms, being taken to an unknown destination.
Looking through the broken hole in the roof beneath them, their house was filled with weird objects wearing the same uniforms, roaring and looking up at them.
Those upturned Faces had no eyes, noses, or mouths, only smooth, pale green skin, with dense Faces pressed together, looking at them, seemingly symbolizing some kind of ordered will.
Besides their extremely bizarre Faces, their limbs were disproportionately elongated, resembling spider legs, twisted and terrifying. The uniforms on their bodies were torn and tattered, stretched by their swollen, deformed bodies. The skin revealed through the seams of their clothes was not normal human skin color, but a sickly greenish-gray, covered with irregular spots and lumps.
Even more terrifying, abnormal fleshy tumors seemed to grow on their backs, and these tumors were constantly wriggling, with something inside struggling to break free at any moment.
Just now, Chen Shanyuan accidentally cut open a tumor, and saw a small weird object of this kind slide out with a 'plop' sound along with mucus, landing on the ground and growing rapidly with the wind, quickly changing from the size of a fist to half a person's height, then to a full person's height.
Who knows what it took, its growth rate was astonishing.
As a result, these weird objects were growing in number the more they fought, making it difficult to know how to proceed.
“Follow them!” Chen Shanyuan thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
The two of them might not be able to snatch the two women from so many weird objects, but they only had a few teammates, and the intelligent ones were worth saving.
He wondered where Liu Weiwei and She Chan had gone; surely they hadn't been captured as well?
Thinking this, it became even more necessary to follow.
So Chen Shanyuan and Kuang Bowen jumped from rooftop to rooftop, following from a distance.
They didn't pay attention to Lu Junan.
Lu Junan glanced down, where the pile of weird objects were drooling and howling, their slender weird hands stretching longer and longer, about to touch the rooftop.
There was no other way, he didn't dare to stay here, so he quickly covered his wound and chased after them.
Wen Weilan was indeed not in the house; she had jumped out of the skylight to fetch reinforcements.
At this moment, everyone in the village was indoors, their doors tightly shut, but one could vaguely see eyes through the windows, eagerly watching outside.
Seeing Wen Weilan running around outside, these eyes were filled with astonishment.
“Elder, do you know how to get to the Village Chief’s house?”
She approached a window where eyes could be seen and asked in a low voice.
“Go straight, turn right, cross a small bridge, then go up the dirt slope. Hurry up, I don't want to be caught.”
Then the curtain behind the window was pulled shut with a swish.
Just as Wen Weilan was about to head towards the Village Chief's house as instructed, a small squad of uniformed weird objects suddenly appeared before her.
“Hmph, just in time. Let's test my current strength.”
Wen Weilan let out a cold laugh and drew her long sword.
She had always been talented in cultivation, and even becoming a Yugui was quite smooth, with her absorption progress reaching a pleasing halfway mark, and her physical fitness rapidly improving.
It was just that the “folk scientist” she was currently following had not yet bestowed her with abilities, so she could only rely on pure physical strength to fight for now.
The Flowing Water Sword Art in her hands now was on an entirely different level.
Wen Weilan stood in the night, her figure like a floating fallen leaf, light and elusive.
The long sword, illuminated by the myriad stars, was like a river of stars descending from the heavens, swirling from the sword tip towards the weird objects before her.
The weird objects let out incoherent screeches, their distorted bodies crawling eerily to dodge Wen Weilan's sword tip, their long, spider-like limbs scratching the ground with unsettling sounds.
Her sword moves were like water, each strike just right, without any superfluous action, and carefully and precisely avoiding the tumors on the weird objects' bodies, lest they multiply the more she fought.
Sword light flashed, and another weird object fell into a pool of blood.
But her peripheral vision caught sight of more and more weird objects gathering towards her, and she couldn't help but frown deeply.
The level of the weird object on her should be similar to these; relying on her strength alone was far from enough to clear these weird objects in front of her.
But she still had to fight her way out.
She needed to find Liu Sheng.
Under the surge of emotion, the Guai Qi within her body stirred restlessly, becoming somewhat uncontrollable.
Wen Weilan quickly composed herself and swung her sword upwards.
Suddenly, in the distance, it was as if a star had fallen, erupting in sacred golden light.
As the golden light shone, the painful roars of the weird objects echoed through the sky.
What was that?
Wen Weilan was slightly Divided Soul, and a spider-like claw of a weird object in front of her menacingly reached for her chest, about to pierce her heart and directly take her life.
Just at this critical moment, a black tentacle suddenly shot out from the side, instantly coiling around the weird object's claw.
Immediately after, a golden lightning bolt, like divine punishment, struck the weird object, instantly burning it to ashes.
Wen Weilan suddenly looked up, only to see Liu Sheng's figure standing atop a pile of weird object corpses, with tentacles dancing wildly behind her and lightning flashing, like a Valkyrie in the night.
The dancing tentacles surrounding her seemed different from before; although still black, they were a transparent, profound black, as if dotted with golden starlight twinkling within, and in a fleeting glance, it seemed as if the entire Universe was visible.
With each swing, starlight flowed within the Little Tentacle, and sacred lightning was released, seemingly some kind of divine power capable of purifying all evil.
“Thanks, Liu Sheng.” Wen Weilan took a deep breath, steadying her mind.
“As long as you’re alright.” Liu Sheng’s voice was calm and strong.
As their gazes met, a strange sense of calm settled in, and they felt that they were finally not fighting alone.
“Sister, Sister, don’t zone out! They’re coming again!”
At this moment, a clear yet noisy voice sounded from below, shattering this harmonious scene.
Wen Weilan looked down and saw a lovely little girl with skin like jade, but her head was covered with green leaves, and half a broken tree trunk was stuck on her head.
Her attire was a bit strange; she wondered why she hadn't noticed it at first.
Wen Weilan was a bit puzzled.
“I’ll explain later. Doll Tree is right, now is not the time to be distracted.”
Liu Sheng delivered an electric shock with her hand, repelling a circle of surging weird objects.
“What exactly are these things?” Wen Weilan swung her long sword, creating sword shadows that sliced through the weird objects' disgusting exteriors.
“weird objects that have taken on the appearance of Federal Police.”
Liu Sheng said, then lightly waved her hand. Several black tentacles, carrying golden lightning, darted through the weird object swarm like agile snakes, each touch turning a weird object into ashes.
“Why did they appear here?”
“Cosmic Village lost, and every day it re-enacts the scene of being investigated by the Federation.”
“I didn’t expect Cosmic Village to actually lose…” Wen Weilan sighed with emotion.
“Hey, hey, isn't that reasonable? How could a village of disorganized rabble wearing pots as helmets defeat well-equipped and well-trained Federal police?”
The upgraded Little Tentacle's power was indeed not to be underestimated; with a flick of its hand, it cleared a path, defeating the oncoming weird objects one by one.
Wen Weilan utilized these openings, swinging her long sword, accurately and flawlessly dealing with the weird objects that had escaped, their cooperation was perfect.
As time passed, the once numerous weird objects began to thin out, and Liu Sheng and Wen Weilan's offensive was like an unstoppable tide.
Doll Tree, meanwhile, was squatting beside the still twitching weird object corpses, curiously tilting her head to look.
Having Liu Sheng Jie, who could perform small rain-making spells, emerge from the basement, Doll Tree was very curious about everything outside.
Finally, when the last weird object fell, and there was no longer any movement around, the two stopped, panting heavily.
Taking advantage of this momentary lull, Wen Weilan hesitated for a moment, then poked Liu Sheng with her hand.
“My Lord of Folk Science, what ability are you going to bestow upon me?”
Before Liu Sheng could answer, Doll Tree, standing nearby, pointed at Wen Weilan and loudly exclaimed with no regard for her Face: “Wow, big sister, your ears are so red!”
“Wh-… What are you talking about?!”
“They are! They are!”
Under the myriad stars, weird object corpses lay everywhere.
Liu Sheng watched the person and the tree bickering, and she smiled, pressing her lips together.
