The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 206 One of the Runes
Before Gao Yang could say anything, Jiu Han spoke first.

"I lost three brothers over it."

Jiuhan's cold voice was full of anger and resentment. Jiuhan threw the rune to Gao Yang. Gao Yang caught it and looked at it carefully.

This rune is not much different from other runes. It is made of black metal, about the size of a makeup mirror, and 1cm thick.

The runes are full of delicate circuits, and an ancient totem is engraved on the front: a cluster of flowers, each petal is exactly the same.

Gao Yang's heart dropped hard, and the bad premonition in his heart had been confirmed.

"Manshe." Gao Yang asked, "Can't you grow your arms?"

Manshe shook her head weakly: "My talent has not recovered yet."

Gao Yang looked at everyone again: "Have your talents returned?"

All shook their heads.

Gao Yang tried to activate [Fire], but the energy in his body was still sleeping.

"Does it take leaving the Talisman Cave for the talent to recover?" Gray Xiong asked Gao Yang.

"It's possible." Gao Yang took a deep breath and changed the topic: "But I don't think that's the reason."

"What do you mean?" Hui Xiong asked.

Gao Yang raised the rune circuit in his hand: "This rune circuit is not an auxiliary system."

Jiuhan was startled and said nothing.

Everyone was also caught in a moment of confusion.

Gao Yang was basically certain that this rune was not of the auxiliary type.

He had previously entered the Temple of Talent, and when he was on the rune altar under the Pillar of Creation, he saw twelve rune totems, among which was the "Flower" totem.

"Don't you find it strange?"

Gao Yang said: "Li Zhuanghu makes all targets become his puppets by biting people, and then controls them. Do you think this ability is an auxiliary talent?"

"It's the summoning system!" Xiangdie's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Gao Yang looked at Xiangdie, "You yourself are gifted in the summoning system. You should know very well that Li Zhuanghu's ability is not comparable to that of the auxiliary system."

"That's not right, our talents have indeed been blocked." Gray Xiong has not yet figured this out: "Do the summoning runes have this ability?"

"No." Gao Yang confirmed.

"Then isn't this a contradiction?" Hui Xiong said.

"Who said a talisman hole..."

Gao Yanggang was about to tell his guess, but Jiuhan finished for him, "There can only be one rune."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that had just eased was frozen to the freezing point.

There is also a rune circuit in 11, an auxiliary rune that seals everyone's talents.

For the Kirin Guild, this is great news: with these two runes, the Kirin Guild will have five runes in hand, and its leading position in the world of awakeners will be further consolidated. Yanzhimen will also be one step closer.

But for the current groups 4 and 5, this is a nightmare.

In their current situation, can they really deal with a beast alienated by the rune circuit?
Gao Yang also began to doubt himself: Did I add too much luck?This level of "luck" is really unbearable.

This reminded him of what his grandma once told him: a person's name cannot be too good, because a person's "fate" may not be able to withstand it.

"Captain, what should we do?" Ronnie's voice was a little tired.

Gao Yang came back from his brief distraction and said nothing.

Jiuhan looked at everyone and assessed their current combat strength.

Manshe had a broken arm and was in a very bad condition. Before his talent was restored, he had basically no fighting power. To put it bluntly, he was still a liability.

The can itself has no fighting power. It will faint immediately and may cause a concussion.

Although the remaining people got a short rest, it was only enough for simple actions. It was almost impossible to fight another tough battle.

Existing equipment and supplies have also been depleted.

After thinking again and again, Gao Yang made a decision: "Let's try to leave the rune cave first. If it doesn't work, we can only find a second rune."

"Hui Xiong, please help Man She."

Gray Xiong nodded, picked up Manshe's remaining arm and put it on his shoulder.

Gao Yang could still hold on for a while because he had received special adrenaline.

He walked to Can Can and hugged her sideways: "Let's go to the flag-raising platform."

On the side of Group 4, Jiuhan, Heique and Xiangdie could only leave their companions' bodies aside for the time being and help each other towards the flag-raising platform.

Soon, everyone came to the flag-raising platform.Gao Yang recalled the experience in Gujia Village and Niu Xuan's weird behavior on the flag-raising platform. He basically concluded that this was the connection between Fu Cave and the real world, which was equivalent to the dry well in Gujia Village.

He held the rune in his hand and shook it on the flag-raising platform to test it.

Unfortunately, no channel mouths were triggered.

The flag stand was very small. Gao Yang tried almost every position and found nothing.

Gao Yang retracted the rune circuit and sighed: "It seems that this rune cave is composed of the power of two runes and Cang Dao."

"That is to say, we must find both keys before we can open the door." Xiangdie tried to understand.

"I'm afraid it is."

Just as Jiu Han was about to say something, he suddenly frowned. He half-squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the teaching building: "There is someone there."

Everyone immediately looked up.

That's right, at the edge of the roof of the teaching building, there was a figure standing behind the iron guardrail, whose face could not be seen clearly.

"It seems to be looking at me, us." Ronnie was not very sure.

Jiu Han looked at Gao Yang silently, and Gray Male, Xiang Die, and Black Bird also looked over.

Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, and Gao Yang felt a heavy responsibility for a moment.

The next decision is related to the life and death of the team members, no, all of them.

Who is the figure on the roof?

Survivors who were not bitten by the Talisman Corpse?Or a beast alienated by runes?Or some other unknown existence?
There is no answer.

But since you can't get out, you have to face what you have to face sooner or later. Sitting and waiting will not solve the problem.Without real treatment and rest, everyone's fatigue will only become more serious.

Gao Yang had no choice. He could no longer "coin" and could only "gamble".

"What else do we have on hand?" Gao Yang asked Xiangdie.

Xiangdie also carried a supply bag in his hand: "2 bottles of C medicine, 2 bottles of special epinephrine, 2 pieces of sleeping gas, a small amount of water and dry food."

"Give adrenaline to Gray Xiong and me." Jiuhan said, "Qiying has already used it and can't use it again."

"Yeah." Gao Yang agreed. If the situation went bad, Jiu Han and Hui Xiong could still fight in a short time if they took a dose of adrenaline.

Of course, the so-called battles are limited to battles between ordinary people, but fortunately, under the influence of "collective silence", all living beings are equal.

Xiangdie handed two pieces of epinephrine to Jiuhan and Huixiong.

Gao Yang looked at Ronny again: "Ronnie, you stay and take care of Man She and Can Can."

"clear."

Ronnie had exhausted his energy in the previous fight, sprained his ankle, and walked with a limp. If there was to be a fight later, he would only be held back.

Ronnie handed the dagger in his hand to Xiangdie: "You are young and careless."

Xiangdie took the dagger and said, "You guys too."

"Let's go." Gao Yang said.

"Let's go! Go meet it!" Hui Xiong encouraged him: "It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that you can't avoid!"

Gao Yang, Jiu Han, Hui Xiong, Hei Que, and Xiang Die walked into the tree-lined avenue and soon arrived at the teaching building lobby.

The five people entered the hall, and there were some dead talisman corpses lying on the ground, which was the scene of a previous battle.

The five people came to the corridor and began to go upstairs.

When we reached the fourth floor, everyone's pace slowed down significantly.

Although no one said anything, it was obvious that no one wanted to face what happened next.

Finally, Hui Xiong smiled bitterly and broke the silence: "Captain, what do you think is our chance of winning next?"

This is a meaningless question.

Because Gao Yang had no idea what was waiting for him on the rooftop.

But he believed that morale could not be lost, so he answered confidently without even looking at Hui Xiong: "Ten percent."

"Haha!" Hui Xiong laughed dryly, "I think so too!"

"It's time to go up." The five people have reached the top of the building.

"Squeak."

Gao Yang gently pushed open the iron door of the rooftop.
