Chapter 74: The East and the West
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu got out of the car and looked up at the abandoned building in front of them.
To be more precise, it should be that it has been unfinished before it was completed.
Irkutsk is barely considered a decent city in Siberia, but compared with China, it is naturally far inferior to that in China. In addition, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no need to build any high-rise buildings. This abandoned building only has three floors. In addition, except for the main structure of the two floors at the bottom, the third floor was only half built, and the construction has been stopped.
The building is a standard reinforced concrete structure. At the foot of the building and on the third floor, rusted steel bars and cement bags are piled everywhere. The first and second floors have exterior walls, so it is hard to see what is going on inside.
"Let's go. Do what you see." Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and walked into the building first, still holding the Spinger in his hand.
Because the dog's sense of smell must be retained to determine the source of the bloody smell, Jiang Xiao was unable to release mosquitoes to detect the entire building, so he could only be careful with Zhao Tianyu.
Before getting off the car, Jiang Xiao had already confirmed with Lunrong. Since arriving at this abandoned building, Xinyun's blood loss rate has been reduced to the same level as Lunrong's healing ability. In other words, as long as the enemy no longer moves, Xinyun will not have any worries about life.
Of course... in the end, we must defeat the enemy who can attract the blood in her body!
A layer was empty, and the direction of the bloody smell was still above.
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu looked at each other and walked up the only built staircase side by side.
"You guys have found them."
A faint voice sounded above the two of them.
Jiang Xiao raised his head and saw that above the stairs, he was standing there was an acquaintance he had met before.
The East Asian branch of the college, the wounded abyss of the warrior rank.
His face was still handsome, and his expression was still the gentle and elegant look before. He was wearing iron-gray trousers and a pure white shirt. If he walked on the big screen, he would definitely become the object of fantasy in the minds of thousands of girls.
But now, seeing his face, Jiang Xiao was only nervous.
Although he had never fought with Shuyuan himself, Jiang Xiao had seen the battle between him and Xinyun with his own eyes.
I have to say that the Sui Yuan is the strongest warrior among the awakened people Jiang Xiao has ever seen.
Whether it is speed, strength, or self-healing ability after injury, Wuyuan is the top presence. If it weren't for Xinyun's innate ability, who could sense any attack trajectory and dodge in advance, Wuyuan would almost never lose to anyone in close combat.
"Be careful. This guy is a soldier, and..." Jiang Xiao whispered to Zhao Tianyu beside him: "Very strong!"
Zhao Tianyu did not answer, but just nodded silently in response. At the same time, the muscles in her body were raised to the maximum alert.
But Shuyuan seemed to have no intention of taking action immediately, but turned around and walked behind the stairs. After walking for two steps, he heard no movement behind him. He turned his head and said in surprise: "Hey, why don't you come up?"
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu looked at each other, nodded secretly, and walked up the stairs steadily side by side.
The second floor is basically the same as the first floor, and it is empty, but in the center, there is a big red sofa. Shuyuan walked to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at them with a smile: "Don't worry. I am the only one here except the evil burial. It's too late to make sure your direction is so there is not enough time to mobilize enough people. However... Since Miss Xinyun cannot participate in the battle, I think even if I am alone, it should be enough."
Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu looked aside with the eyes of Shuyuan and saw that in the corner of the building, there was a huge black object that was jumping one after another.
The black object looked like a cocoon, but it was as huge as two people. Dozens of sticky silk-like substances were emitted from the surface, sticking to the surrounding walls and pillars. Their beating looks and frequency were like a heart.
"That's... what you mentioned is the evil burial?" Jiang Xiao asked Xuan Yuan with a gloomy face.
"Yes." Shuyuan nodded gracefully: "It's just... he is busy sucking Miss Xinyun's blood now, so he is not able to fight with you for the time being. Since that's the case, I can only let me block you first. But... it's still as I said just now, since I'm here, then he... is no longer important."
"Here... you are the only one except that insect cocoon?" Jiang Xiao asked in a deep voice. Since Niezang was busy absorbing Xinyun's blood, it was not enough to worry about it for the time being. At least with the healing of the chaos, Xinyun's blood loss rate can maintain balance and be controlled. Now... it is enough to solve the problem of the wounded abyss alone.
"Yes. The dean knows you very well. I originally proposed to him that I would go to Lake Baikal with him and give it to Niezang here. But he rejected my proposal and said... Niezang's ability... may not be able to hide it. If it is discovered, I still need to wipe his butt."
"What?!" Jiang Xiao was shocked suddenly: "Your dean... went to Lake Baikal?!"
"That's certainly." Shuyuan shrugged: "Since you have reached this point, we have certainly been able to determine that your target is Lake Baikal. Although when you first went to Los Angeles to meet the civilian oceanographer to borrow a boat, we also doubted whether the seeds would be hidden under a certain sea area. But later, since you landed in Vladivostok, and considering that your ship is equipped with a deep-sea submersible with a diving depth of more than two thousand meters, if we still can't guess your destination, it's better to just wipe your neck."
"Damn it!"
Jiang Xiao cursed in his heart.
The college’s intelligence network is too strict and huge.
Since they set out in China, they have been trying their best to hide their own paths, blur the direction of their future journey, and use all the tricks they can use. But the people from the academy have always been chasing behind them like maggots.
More importantly, through the clues they occasionally exposed, the academy can even take a step forward to determine the direction of their travel, mobilize good personnel in advance, set up an ambush in front and wait!
What is terrible is not only the huge energy of the college, but also the dean's ability to reason and judge!
"There is nothing to be amazed." Shan Yuan seemed to guess what Jiang Xiao thought: "Since you also know that our dean is a priest, you should be able to think that the wisdom of the priest is omnipotent."
"Okay...it seems that all we can do now is to kill you quickly and then go to Lake Baikal." Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and his eyes were burning: "But I still don't understand why you spend so much time chatting with us? Since you have confidence and can easily kill Zhao Tianyu, what is your purpose of delaying time?"
"Ah hahaha!" Xuan Yuan raised his head and laughed: "What the dean said is indeed true. Jiang Xiao's talent may not even be under Xinyun, a priest who has passed down tens of thousands of years of memory fragments and wisdom! He actually saw so keenly that I was delaying time!"
"That's right!" Shuyuan suddenly stood up, but his face was not embarrassed to be seen through, but proud: "But my purpose... is not to gain some advantage for myself, but just to simply... want to see what kind of scene will happen when the evil burial breaks out of the cocoon! After all, even he has used this ability for the first time!"
"What!" Jiang Xiao turned his head suddenly and looked at the black giant cocoon called Niezang, and found that it was jumping a little faster than before.
And... the speed is still increasing slowly!
"You may have just guessed that the ability of Niezang is to extract the blood from the original owner's body through the original blood as a medium! If you haven't even calculated this, you will not be able to chase here. But what you definitely don't know is that... This is actually not a Niezang's attack method, but it is just a necessary way for him to grow up!"
"And when he sucked enough blood from the target..."
Before Shuyuan could finish his words, Jiang Xiao had already kicked the ground with his feet and rushed towards Shuyuan. He shouted loudly towards Zhao Tianyu behind him: "Cut that black cocoon!"
Jiang Xiao knew that his attack power might not be enough to destroy the cocoon in a short period of time, but Zhao Tianyu, who has high Zhoubo strengthening, would be able to divide it into two halves with just one slash!
And now the evil burial naturally has no ability to fight back. Otherwise, there would be no need for Shuyuan to delay time specifically to wait for its transformation.
So what Jiang Xiao has to do now is to hold back the Sui Yuan! Even if it only takes one second, as long as Zhao Tianyu can rush to the giant cocoon, it will be enough!
There is no need to say much about the tacit understanding between Zhao Tianyu and Jiang Xiao. Before Jiang Xiao could speak, she had already rushed towards the huge cocoon that the evil burial was transformed into the corner of the second floor.
"You... look down on me too much, right?"
Just as Jiang Xiao and the others moved, Shuyuan also snorted coldly and suddenly disappeared from the sofa.
Jiang Xiao was originally less than ten meters away from the Shaoyuan, while Zhao Tianyu was only more than thirty meters away from the corner where the giant cocoon was. At her speed, she could reach it in just one second.
