mysterious forerunner

Chapter 351 You Are Everywhere

Everyone in the Secret Security Bureau knew about the conflict between the Northeast situation and Zhang Qingxiang's faction.

Something happened in Huibian County, and the Northeast Affairs Bureau asked the General Administration for help, and Zhang Qingxiang was sent from above - Yuan Shengxuan actually gave in.

We really need help.

Therefore, Yuan Shengxuan was already prepared to be scolded by others.

To take a step back, the so-called conflict among everyone is actually that the overall situation in the Northwest feels that Zhang Qingxiang's "claws" are too long and his meddling is too broad.

But in fact, Zhang Cangxiong and Zheng Tonghe were both people related to the overall situation of Northeast China. It was the overall situation of Northeast China that had problems, and Zhang Qingxiang essentially helped solve the problems.

Yuan Shengxuan asked himself, if it were him, he would at least make a few sarcastic remarks and force the entire Northeast to bow their heads and submit.

But Director Zhang is such a visionary person. He didn't say a word and plunged into the super large scene.

I'm here to help, bro!

Yuan Shengxuan looked at several of his capable subordinates, especially one of them. These guys had been complaining about Director Zhang behind his back for the past few days.

Everyone's face suddenly turned red and they lowered their heads in shame.

……

The terrain of Huibian County is mountainous, and the county seat is located in a valley.

This season happens to be when the local scenery is at its most beautiful, with evergreen pines and cypresses on the mountain paired with deciduous trees that have begun to turn yellow.

Looking at the endless mountains, one can fully appreciate the magnificent beauty of "layers of colorful forests".

The small town in the valley is usually bustling with people, with thick white smoke coming out of several large chimneys. The sounds of bargaining in the mountain product market on the edge of the town can be heard one after another, and a sense of human fireworks is present between the towering mountains.

But now, everything is gone.

The sky above, at its highest point, was shrouded in a mysterious energy of three dark tones. The small town and the surrounding mountains and forests were as if viewed through a filter from the underworld, depressing and dull.

The entire town was silent and dead. Hundreds of thousands of lives were missing. Even the thriving plants in the surrounding mountains and fields seemed to have stopped growing.

The place where Zhang Qingxiang walked in was originally a mountain product market.

The nearby mountain hikers would carry the things they collected from the old forest down here and sell them to fixed merchants.

Merchants from other places will also walk around the entire market to find the most suitable goods and prices.

But now, the huge market is empty, with not a single person in sight.

Various mountain products are scattered on the ground, including herbs, mushrooms, nuts, etc.

The moment Zhang Qingxiang came in, he performed a profound secret technique [Shadow Dissolution].

This secret technique can be simply understood as: invisibility.

The actual principle is similar to [Spit Mirage], both of which integrate themselves with the surrounding environment to achieve the purpose of concealment.

But the highest level of [Spit Mirage] is only level three.

And [Shadow Dissolution] starts from the first level of the Domination Realm!
Therefore, the power of the two cannot be compared.

[Dissolve] allows the user, along with his breath and smell, to blend into the surrounding environment, making it difficult to be discovered.

As he walked along, Zhang Qingxiang suddenly realized that the free energy in the air was somewhat abnormal, and this space was somewhat unstable.

Originally, various energies and matter reached a balance in space. When one type of energy was drained, this balance was broken.

Zhang Qingxiang had some guesses in his mind and walked a few steps forward. He saw that the rolling shutter door of a shop was twisted into a knot. Everything in the shop seemed to have been hit by a strong tornado, and all kinds of objects were crushed to pieces.

Dozens of shriveled "chunks of meat" were scattered on the messy ground.

Zhang Qingxiang sighed secretly, the origin of those "pieces of meat" could be imagined.

As we continued walking along the street, we saw more and more traces of fighting and more and more broken mummies.

Perhaps it is not appropriate to call it a "battle". At least so far, it has been a one-sided massacre.

When they reached a crossroads, Zhang Qingxiang stopped.

The imbalance of the space here is particularly strong. In the center of the intersection, a huge plant grows out from under the asphalt road.

In the surrounding shops and stalls, all the mountain products, the herbs, had turned into powder.

The herbs were drained of all their useful substances by a certain "formula" and turned into a plant monster in the middle of the crossroads.

This thing looked like a giant bamboo shoot, more than three meters thick and more than four meters tall. It was covered with holes, with half of a sharp, black poisonous sting sticking out of it.

This thing is still alive. The holes open and close rhythmically as if it is breathing.

Zhang Qingxiang observed and found dozens of pools of pus that were almost drying up on the ground around him.

There is a sting in every pus.

"Such a domineering poison, such a cruel method!"

After being shot by the poisonous stinger, no matter whether it is a human or an animal, it will slowly turn into a pool of pus!
The bamboo shoots seemed to sense something strangely and their breathing became rapid, but they still couldn't find their target.

Zhang Qingxiang really wanted to give it a try: If this poisonous stinger pierced the bamboo shoot monster itself, would it also turn it into a pool of pus?
But he still shook his head secretly, not wanting to alert the enemy, and quietly passed by.

After passing the mountain products market, there is a pedestrian street in front.

There are shops and food stalls on both sides.

When we got here, we saw traces of explosions all over the ground.

Suddenly, Zhang Qingxiang's mind moved, and he quietly floated to the second floor of a shop nearby and hid behind a sign.

At the other end of the pedestrian street, five people walked quickly.

The one in the front had a face that was evolving into the object of their faith: its lips were turned outward and three long fangs had already protruded.

Three long fleshy whiskers grew out of his hair, twisting in the air like strange snakes.

Suddenly, he stopped, as if he had discovered something, and his whiskers kept capturing information from the surroundings.

After more than ten seconds, there was no discovery, but he did not give up. He raised his hand, his ten fingers flashed with evil light, and outlined a formula.

However, the formula did not hold.

He let out a low growl of annoyance and scratched his head, as if he was reflecting on himself.

Then he outlined a new formula again.

This time the formula worked, and bits of spiritual light flew around - Zhang Qingxiang noticed that these spiritual lights came from the electronic devices in the store.

The spiritual light condensed into shape, and then exploded - a wave similar to an electronic pulse swept across the entire street.

This formula actually achieved the effect of "radar scanning"!

However, Zhang Qingxiang's [Shadow Dissolution] level was too high, and after scanning the formula, nothing was found.

The leading heretic shook his head, and his three flesh whiskers swayed along with it, and he continued to move forward with the others.

The changes of the following evil believers were not that serious; at least they could still communicate.

"Someone clearly came in, but none of the sentry towers noticed it."

"Could it be that he broke in by mistake and was frightened to death on the spot?"

"We have to bear this unfortunate task. Even if we find it, it's just a prey. By the time we return, the battle in the air-raid shelter will be over, and we won't get anything..."

The sound gradually faded away. Zhang Qingxiang had an idea and activated [Smell the Sky], searching for traces of the team and going in the opposite direction.

At every intersection in the town, there is at least one strange bamboo shoot. This thing should be what they call a "sentry tower".

Zhang Qingxiang bypassed these things and went deeper into the city. After more than ten minutes, he saw a signboard.

There is a park in front and an air-raid shelter below.

When he arrived here, Zhang Qingxiang discovered that the balance of energy and matter in the surrounding space had already become extremely chaotic.

About twenty meters in the air above the park, a huge formula solidified. It was composed of countless tiny symbols and continuously drew various substances and energies from its surroundings, transforming into a light black mist that enveloped the entire park from top to bottom and even penetrated into the underground.

The entire park seemed to be isolated from the world; no sound or vibration from inside could be heard.

Zhang Qingxiang held [No. 074] in his hand, looking for the weak point in the light black mist, ready to rush in to save people.

But suddenly a long fleshy beard floated in the distance...

Rouxu probed into the black fog, and soon after, a dozen heavily evolved believers quickly followed Rouxu out of the air-raid shelter.

The meat whisker retracted, as if giving some kind of guidance, and those evil believers followed the whisker and flew quickly in a certain direction.

Zhang Qingxiang hesitated for a moment, gave up the park and followed quietly.

The length of this fleshy whisker was astonishing. It wound around the streets and "summoned" some evil believers who were besieging the survivors along the way.

Without exception, these heretics are severely mutated.

It was even more serious than the team leader Zhang Qingxiang had met before.

They had four or five fangs growing out of their mouths and four or five whiskers on their heads. The most seriously ill ones would curl up like the object of their faith, like a silkworm chrysalis.

He gathered thirty-four severely mutated people and brought them to the center of the town.

There was originally an antique three-story attic built here, which was a tourist attraction in the town.

But now, some powerful force has wiped away the top layer, turning it into a huge two-story platform.

Some kind of sacrificial ceremony was being arranged on the platform.

Hundreds of tentacles continuously transported fresh corpses up like conveyor belts.

Surrounding this altar, there are three layers of hemispherical evil light.

In the evil light, a special formula emerged for each of them.

This formula draws some kind of power from beneath the earth to maintain the operation of the light shield.

Those severely mutated heretics followed the flesh whiskers through the light shield - the formula on the light shield broke up every symbol and re-formed into an eye.

Zhang Qingxiang was blocked outside.

There is no need to blend in anymore. The evil believers just need to set up an altar, and their purpose is nothing more than to welcome the arrival of their "Holy Lord" or "Holy Son".

Same old routine.

Instead, Zhang Qingxiang paid more attention to the several-kilometer-long flesh whisker.

The owner of this thing is obviously the leader of this group of evil believers.

After the flesh whisker led the thirty-four severely mutated evil believers in, it retreated all the way back to a window below the altar. After the thirty-four people went in, they joined the other evil believers inside and surrounded the altar.

The sacrifice on the top of the altar has begun. The evil mysterious power continuously transforms into void bubbles in the void around the altar. These bubbles expand to a size of ten meters and then shatter silently, releasing the mysterious energy inside.

It seems that this method is being used to transfer the power from the secret world, continuously increasing the concentration of mysterious energy near the altar.

The area around the altar became increasingly darker, filled with the power of the heretics' "Holy Lord".

Gradually, halos lit up on the altar.

These halos have actually always existed, but they were very dim at the beginning.

Zhang Qingxiang suddenly felt something was wrong. He counted the number of halos and looked at the evil believers under the altar:
There are sixty halos and fifty-eight evil believers under the altar.

This means there are two evil believers hiding in the altar. One is the leader with a very long beard, and the other is another.

"These halos...are they blessings prepared for these guys?!"

"This is unreasonable."

"The evil spirits instructed the believers to make such a big scene just to bless them?"

"According to the nature of evil spirits, they will not consider the believers in this way. It must be more beneficial to themselves."

The reason why Zhang Qingxiang guessed that it was a blessing for the believers was because there were sixty halos and only fifty-eight believers, so the two on the altar must be added to be enough.

If these believers are all sacrifices, the leaders at the altar will never count themselves among them.

Unless they have all been deceived by evil spirits.

Zhang Qingxiang frowned, and the believers were already walking towards the altar in great excitement.

And two heretics have appeared in the halo.

One of them had a head full of whiskers, more than a hundred in number! One of them was particularly long and flexible.

His mouth was filled with long, scraggly fangs that sealed his lips like nails.

The body is hunched and the skin shows signs of crustification.

Zhang Qingxiang shook his head. If he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't think about it anymore. He just had to stick to one principle: no matter what the evil spirit wanted to do, he must not let it succeed!
After entering this super-large scene, Zhang Qingxiang has been observing stealthily. On the one hand, he is afraid of super-large scenes and wants to feel out the truth first.

Secondly, I also hope that there will be a dominant monster among them.

In this way, his third battle of domination would have a solution.

But as soon as the leader of the evil believers appeared, Zhang Qingxiang was sure that it was definitely not at the dominant level.

What would happen if the evil spirit's ritual was completed was completely unknown, and Zhang Qingxiang would not take such a risk for the third Domination War.

[No. 074] quickly changed and became a weapon in the form of a sharp hammer.

Buzz - boom!

This secret object hit the evil light shield.

The formulas in the first layer of the evil light shield changed rapidly, releasing two formula "chains" that quickly connected to the formulas in the two layers inside.

The three formulas are connected into one, and the three layers of evil light shields are also combined into one layer.

At the same time, the amount of power and material extracted from the ground increased greatly.

Evil Light Shield Confrontation [No. 074]!
The evil light shield shattered with a bang, and the formula collapsed directly!
All the heretics inside turned around and looked over, their faces filled with confusion.

Including the chief and deputy chief who had already entered the halo, they all clearly felt that the formula of the evil light shield collapsed first.

Or rather...the formula of the Evil Light Shield suddenly no longer holds true!
They don't understand: Why is this happening? Because the formula has been working for a long time and is definitely valid.

Zhang Qingxiang strode in and the evil believers swarmed over him.

Various formulas quickly emerged in the air.

The first six explosion formulas were established.

These formulas draw energy and matter from their surroundings. They are essentially the same, just expressed in different ways.

Two condensed into fiery red light balls, three turned into glowing meteors, and one turned into a cannonball.

These formulas were all ones they had used many times in previous battles and could be guaranteed to be absolutely true.

But as soon as these explosives appeared, they disappeared with a puff.

The formulas behind them also collapse and are completely invalid!

The heretic was confused: What's going on? !
Of course, Zhang Qingxiang would not explain to them what "Master" meant.

[Dominate] can master most of the basic "rules" of the space in which it is located.

The heretic's [formula] draws strength and matter from the surroundings and was originally able to work, but Zhang Qingxiang secretly fiddles with the [rules], so the basis for the formula changes and the formula naturally collapses.

When I was slower to act later, I became even more confused, because after I wrote a formula, I always felt that something was wrong.

That naturally won't work.

After three or four formulas, they finally figured out the problem and began to adapt to the new [rules]. They thought they could finally write a valid formula - but the rules changed again!

There was no time for them to adjust again.

Zhang Qingxiang had already rushed in, and the [No. 074] in his hand changed rapidly. The sound of metal combination of crackling rang out quickly, and eighteen metal tentacles appeared in Zhang Qingxiang's hand, with circular saws at the end rotating at high speed.

scoff-

A buzz saw cuts off a Cultist's whiskers.

The evil believer screamed miserably, and a sticky purple-black liquid gushed out from the broken part.

The bodies of these heretics are actually very tough, and they are enough to fight against fourth-level professionals with just their physical strength.

Another metal tentacle flew over, and the circular saw at the end quickly cut through his neck.

scoff-

The heretic's head fell to the ground, but his body still pounced towards Zhang Qingxiang.

His hands quickly wrote a formula on his body!
This formula emits a blinding red light, transforming itself into a walking bomb!

Zhang Qingxiang took a look, but was unable to change the material [rules] of the evil believer's body immediately - he encountered resistance from the evil spirit's power.

Zhang Qingxiang snorted coldly and said, "This is a zombie!"

[Chao Feng] Professional skills: Calling a deer a horse.

There are huge physical differences between zombies and cultists, but cultists who have lost their heads but are still alive and well are very similar to zombies.

The skill [Calling a Stag a Horse] is established.

The zombie's body cannot achieve the self-destruction formula.

The blinding red light on the evil believer quickly went out

Swish, swish, swish…

Metal tentacles flew up and down, and the circular saw kept cutting. [No. 074] The high rank crushed these evil believers, and half of the fifty-eight people under the altar were turned into pieces!

There was deep hatred in the leaders' eyes. They were unable to speak and only made beast-like whimpering sounds deep in their throats.

The believers below are all strong ones, the weakest is at level five, and the four strongest are at level eight!

But they were no different in the hands of the enemy.

The leader knew very well that the same result would occur if he went down.

He turned his head vigorously and outlined a special [Formula] with his hands.

This formula has nothing to do with the real world, but it absorbs the floating mysterious energy and connects to the secret world!

The moment the formula is written, the altar ceremony is completed.

There are sixty places for blessing, but only two are effective.

The leader felt extremely pained.

When I become the Holy Lord's [Emissary on Earth], I will tear this guy into pieces!
Suddenly, the leader felt unstable under his feet. He looked down and saw that Zhang Qingxiang's metal tentacles had spread for hundreds of meters and entangled the two floors below. They suddenly retracted, and the altar collapsed with a loud crash.

It's useless, the leader laughed sneerfully, the altar already existed in the form of an energy body.

But soon afterwards, those metal tentacles emerged from the broken altar under their feet, and automatically reassembled into a mysterious object that looked like a radar and a loudspeaker.

hum!hum!hum!
The violent shock spread, and the energy body altar collapsed instantly...

The boss's formula is almost complete, really just one last bit left.

He even saw sixty special black bubbles condensed in the air, containing some semi-liquid, semi-gaseous substances.

However, with the collapse of the energy altar, the rapidly growing bubbles lost their rivet points and shrank rapidly again.

"No——" The leader roared unwillingly in his heart and stretched out his hands towards the bubbles. The longest flesh whisker on his head spread out for thousands of meters. It had clearly touched the black bubbles, but it was like passing through a shadow and did not touch anything substantial!
Suddenly the leader felt something strange, as if most of his whiskers had lost their perception!
But you can clearly see that the whisker is still there, in the air above the head, and has not been cut off.

But when he looked carefully, he discovered that the rapidly shrinking black bubbles were now fixed!

"Why does it seem like... everything has become flat?"

Zhang Qingxiang carefully studied the special substances in those black balloons and suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Senmoshaha again!"

"These substances can transform evil believers."

"Let their bodies bear more mysterious energy, and they can probably be promoted to the [Command Realm]."

"Perhaps there is still a small chance to advance to the [Domination Realm]."

"But the most important thing is that a mysterious organ will grow in their bodies. This organ will emit undetectable infection at all times. The infected life form will greatly increase its desire and its self-control will drop rapidly."

"Also... although this infection is mild and difficult to detect during a doctor's examination, it has a wide range. The area that can be contaminated by one organ may exceed ten square kilometers!"

……

In the [Secret Realm], Senmoshaha stood quietly.

If He had a face, it would be as gloomy as water at this moment.

If He had four limbs, He would be furious at this moment.

His anger towards Zhang Qingxiang had reached its peak: Why are you everywhere? !
