Chapter 309 What do you think people live for? (smoking.jpg)
It has to be said that Jacques had a good plan, hoping to create a chance for himself to escape by using the corpse giants to cause destruction in Jeju City.
Yes, even though his performance and words just now were very arrogant, he still had to admit that the man opposite was indeed a freak who could seriously injure Ruth.
Even though the Corpse Giant took a hit from the Thunder Spear without suffering much damage and seemed very powerful, didn't he know that others didn't know?
Instability is the biggest problem with the experimental body made up of corpses under his feet.
"However, with the experimental data collected this time, I think I should be able to make more powerful and stable experimental products in the future."
As the person in charge of the experiment, Jacques felt that after returning to the Demon Army, he should at least be given a higher status and treatment, if not a personal audience with the army leader.
"Special Researcher?"
Of course, compared to all these, the most important thing right now is how he should escape from the clutches of the man behind him.
Fortunately, he already has a solution.
"laugh"
"I won't play with you anymore"
This thought flashed through Jacques' mind, and he turned his head to take a last look at the man.
But then he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He was speechless for a moment, and then he couldn't help but shout out: ".Venue Card?!"
In the pitch-black night, the extremely conspicuous pale shadow of a palace suddenly caught his eye.
And with the appearance of the venue card, the aura emitted by the already terrifyingly strong black and white figure surged again.
With the help of [Xuye Palace]'s characteristic [No.4], Xiao Wu's strength reaches a new high.
This is also the preparation that a card maker should make if he really wants to advance to a higher level.
By stacking characteristics and bonds with a large number of cards, the strength of a card can be continuously increased, and eventually the possibility of leapfrogging can be achieved.
Instead of relying solely on Altria's holy sword to be liberated like Russell did.
It would be better to say that his method could not be copied by others. After all, the emerald-level color card is unique on Blue Star.
"Can anyone tell me how Cliff survived this freak?!"
Jacques was extremely upset.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to abandon the corpse giant and flee the scene. It was definitely impossible to cause damage in the current situation. He was afraid that he would be trapped here if he delayed any further.
Now we can only hope that the corpse giant can hold the opponent back for a while.
However, just as he summoned his card and was about to leave the giant's shoulder, the card he summoned suddenly stopped in place and did not move.
A strange feeling came over Jacques' heart, making him dazed for a moment.
Then, an extremely empty feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
“I do this.”
"What's the point?"
“Status and strength.”
"Everyone is going to die anyway, so what can pursuing these things bring me?"
In his chaotic thoughts, Jacques felt that everything he had done since he was born was meaningless.
"Who am I", "Where do I come from", and "Where am I going" are the three ultimate philosophical questions that constantly echo in his mind.
Looking at the emerald green spirit spear flying towards him, Jacques did not feel any fear, but relief instead.
“Perhaps death is my best destination”
“Don’t do anything, don’t think about anything.”
"so good"
As the spirit spear pierced through his chest, his body suddenly fell from the shoulder of the corpse giant and was immediately trampled into meat paste.
In the distance, Russell looked at Jacques' inexplicable death and was unable to understand what was happening for a moment. After all, this was his first time using the venue card [Xuye Palace].
But soon he realized what was happening.
There is no doubt that the other party was influenced by Xiao Wu.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart: "Hiss, is the characteristic of [Nothingness] so terrifying?"
"Doesn't that mean I can kill any normal Emerald-level player instantly in the future?"
The reason why it was said to be normal emerald level was that Russell was worried that there might be cards or monsters that also possessed Altria's [Lonely Pilgrimage] characteristic that allowed them to be immune to negative emotions, so he didn't say it completely.
But even so, [Nothingness] is definitely a powerful skill for clearing the field, and it will not cause much damage to the surrounding environment.
However, unlike what Russell had expected, the giant would stop after killing Jacques' corpse. At this moment, the giant was still running forward regardless of anything.
At this speed, we’ll be out of the no-man’s land in a few seconds.
Obviously, the connection between the two is not close, and Jacques should only be able to slightly control the other party's actions.
Just as Russell was thinking about how to deal with the next situation, as Xiao Wu got closer and closer to the corpse giant, something strange happened.
Under everyone's gaze, the giant suddenly stopped where he was, as if he had pressed the power off button, but his posture remained as if he was running.
"Can [Nothingness] even affect Diamond level?"
Russell was stunned and subconsciously attributed this strange scene to [Nothingness].
But soon, he realized that he was misjudged. The Corpse Giant was indeed affected by the [Void] and stopped in place, but it was not because it could affect the diamond level.
But because
boom--
A dull falling sound was heard.
bang bang bang-
The corpse giant seemed to be dismembered, and the corpses that made up his body fell from the sky to the ground one after another like raindrops.
In just a few breaths, the huge giant disappeared without a trace, leaving only a field of calm corpses.
"After all, it's just an experiment put together by ordinary people and low-level card makers."
Seeing this, Russell gradually came to his senses. Rather than saying that the corpse giant is a single individual, it is better to say that it is a collection of many subsets of corpses.
And those humans who have not even reached the Emerald level are naturally unable to resist the impact of [Nothingness].
At this time, Cui Dazhu, who had been standing next to Russell, couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "This is really..."
For a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings.
You have to know that he watched the whole process, from the beginning when Russell used a field he had never seen before to the end when the corpse giant collapsed.
But to be honest, he still didn't quite understand what exactly happened. After all, as a friendly soldier, he obviously wouldn't be affected by [Nothingness].
But the unknown is more frightening. Even as a teammate, Cui Dazhu couldn't help but feel a little scared: "Brother, your field card is really awesome."
"This is the first time I've seen a card like this."
In his haste, he didn't even realize that he was speaking in dialect.
Hearing this, Russell just waved his hand slightly: "Lucky, lucky."
Cui Dazhu couldn't help but look at the young man when he heard this. You know, the strength of a field card is closely related to the strength of the biological card that generated it.
The strength of Xiao Wu and Ni Lu is unquestionable.
At least he didn't think he could make such a card.
While the two were talking, Huo Jing, the vice president of the Jeju Card Masters Association, came to them breathlessly: "Master Luo Luo, Master Cui."
"This this."
She pointed at the corpses on the ground and didn't know what to say for a moment. The woman had naturally seen the strange scene just now.
Originally, after Xiao Wu performed the second stage of returning to the blade and shot out a spear of thunder, she felt that victory was inevitable.
Huo Jing had never expected that one of the two Emerald-level card makers who came to support this time actually possessed such a powerful card.
The aura was undoubtedly from a diamond-level card, which cleared up the haze in her heart.
But after the explosion faded, looking at the giant corpse that was only slightly injured, Huo Jing knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the Guiyi Sect's creature ran towards Jeju City without any hesitation.
Even though she had issued an evacuation order before she came, most of the citizens were ordinary people and low-level card makers. Could they be as fast as diamond-level people?
Without giving it too much thought, Huo Jing was already prepared for a battle between two diamond-level warriors in the city.
But everything that happened afterwards was completely out of the track she had imagined in her mind.
She first saw a venue card she had never seen before, and then she found that the corpse giant had collapsed into corpses all over the ground.
The process happened so fast that Huo Jing didn't even have time to react.
That's why she had this reaction when she rushed to Russell and the others.
"President Huo, as you can see." Russell answered the woman's question, "This is indeed the base of Guiyi Sect."
"And they came up with this kind of stuff secretly."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses covering the ground in the distance.
Hearing this, Huo Jing's expression instantly turned ugly. She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This time, it's all thanks to Lord Luo."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
Although she didn't finish her words, the three people present could understand what she meant.
In response, Russell said noncommittally: "It's just my duty."
"I'll leave the finishing work to you two. I'll go to the south to provide support first."
After he finished speaking, he smiled slightly and then disappeared.
Feeling the terrifying aura rushing towards the south of Jeju City, Huo Jing couldn't help but be stunned: "Is Lord Luo always like this?"
There is no doubt that the other party went to resolve the invasion of the secret realm.
Hearing her words, Cui Dazhu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother, he is just like that. President Huo, don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, Huo Jing gave a bitter smile.
How could she, how dare she, take it to heart?
Not to mention that the other party has solved the hidden danger of Guiyi Sect, her strength alone does not allow her to do so.
After a while, she calmed down and turned to look at the big man beside her: "I will need Mr. Cui's help next."
Cui Dazhu grinned: "Don't worry, sister, I will make sure this matter is handled beautifully for you."
In just such a short time partnering with Russell, he has already found his position.
Perhaps his fighting ability is indeed far behind that of a young man, but he is still somewhat confident in matters such as post-processing and report writing.
Besides, it doesn’t matter where you have a fever.
A few days later, in the early morning, Russell and Choi Dae-joo were standing at the headquarters of the Jeju Card Artists Association and saying goodbye to Huo Jing.
"President Huo, take care."
"You two are the ones. See you later."
After a simple farewell, Russell and the other man left Jeju City.
The reason why only Vice President Huo Jing was there to see them off was because the president was seriously injured while dealing with the demons that invaded the secret realm.
Before Russell arrived.
Fortunately, after Xiao Wu joined the battlefield, the situation was reversed instantly.
The secret realm demons who relied solely on their numerical advantage to suppress the association's card makers were clearly encountering their natural enemy when faced with the [Nothingness] attribute.
However, even without this feature, they would not be able to get any good deal from Xiao Wu. After all, with layers of support, it is not a problem for Xiao Wu to deal with ordinary diamond-level monsters alone.
Demons without diamond level can be said to collapse at the first touch.
Thinking of this, Russell's eyes flashed: "This time the points should be able to come in a big wave again"
Just because he solved the diamond-level corpse giant and helped Jeju successfully suppress the secret realm, the points reward this time cannot be less.
Of course, if Cui Dazhu’s report was added, Russell wouldn’t dare to think about it.
Not to mention the points gained compared to the last time when Ruth was seriously injured and Cliff was captured, I think the points won’t be much less.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say to the big man: "Brother Cui, this time it depends on you."
"?"
Cui Dazhu was stunned, not knowing what Russell was referring to.
However, before he could ask, Russell continued, "Brother Cui, my senior brother had something to ask me before, so he won't go back to Quancheng with you this time."
"Just say this if President Qi asks you."
"If there's any problem, I'll talk to her in person when I get back."
This was a lie. He was actually planning to go back to Nandu to find Hu Tao.
But considering the possibility of exposing his whereabouts, Russell decided to say that he was going to find Zhang Jingxing.
Cui Dazhu was confused when he heard this and couldn't help scratching his head: "Ah, this..."
But thinking of the identity of the person in front of him, he nodded honestly: "Then be careful, brother."
Since Russell had told him to report truthfully, there was no need for him to say anything more.
Then Russell nodded and disappeared without a trace.
Although Cui Dazhu felt it was a bit strange, his reason told him that it would be better for him to stay out of such matters.
“How should I write this report?”
Noon, Nandu.
Russell looked at the big Walnut house in front of him, took out the key and opened the door with ease.
That’s right, the young man already had the key to the front door of his senior sister’s house, so it was easy for him to get in even without the key.
Of course, Walnut also has his own.
As soon as he opened the door, Russell saw a yellow-turbaned warrior wearing a pink bib approaching respectfully: "Master, you are back."
"Senior sister is at home?"
Russell didn't expect that Walnut would be at home at this time.
Soon he came to the living room and saw the expressionless ice beauty.
"Senior sister." Seeing Hu Tao, Russell finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then directly told what happened before, "The court sent someone to assassinate me."
Before he could finish his words, Walnut stood up suddenly.
"I'm going to kill them."
Seeing this, Russell quickly hugged her slender waist:
"Calm down, Senior Sister. Just listen to what I have to say first."
