The reason why Chu Yunsheng felt that time was running out and that the giant head might forcibly appear was because he had a strange feeling just now. It was as if there was a shadow hiding somewhere, peeping at him and invading his body. This feeling was as if there was a foreign body in his body that did not belong to him, and it might replace him at any time.
This was something that he had never encountered before. It contained a fatal danger, which made Chu Yunsheng very nervous and urgent. He needed strong enough force to eliminate it.
Breaking through from Yuan Tian stage one to Yuan Tian stage two was not complicated. It could even be said to be monotonous and boring. In the early stage, he only needed to repeatedly absorb and release Yuan Qi to refine his body. After a certain number of times, the body cells and various units would be pushed to the peak of Na Yuan Body. This process was probably the simplest and safest step in the cultivation system of the ancient book.
In the later stage, he needed to transform the mature Na Yuan body into the embryonic form of Rong Yuan body. If it was not handled properly, it would indeed be life-threatening. But if he was still in the fog city at that time, when he was trying to break through to the next stage, he still seemed to be very young and inexperienced. But now, with his rich experience, deeper understanding, and proficient control of Yuan Qi, any one of these was enough for him to complete the final breakthrough quickly and safely.
Therefore, compared with the seemingly difficult and dangerous "last step" in the later stage, now, the early process had become a more important problem.
A total of more than eighty times of full release, the number of floating monsters that needed to be killed would be at least a hundred, plus the materials needed to make offensive talismans and other combat supplies, the total number would be very huge.
Floating monsters were not red-shelled insects. Because they floated in the air, they had more freedom, and the weapons and tactics that could be used to deal with them were also limited. Only frost arrows and fire arrows could threaten them, and they had to be within the shooting range. Otherwise, they could only look at the sky and sigh.
It was a pity that he didn't have the ancient bow anymore. Otherwise, with the power of the ancient bow, no matter how far and high the floating monsters flew, the sharp arrows could still catch up with them and kill them with one shot.
Although it was a pity, he still had to create the conditions. The giant head could replace him at any time, so he didn't have time to wait. After changing to a bow with a fire talisman, he didn't stay on the empty street for a long time. Turning around, he went into a five-story high residential building. It was the tallest building on the edge of the city, and the only place that could increase the range of the bow and arrow.
The outside world was dark. Without the assistance of a flashlight or night vision goggles, he would hit the wall even if he walked. Therefore, Chu Yunsheng couldn't be sure how many floating monsters were in the air above the residential building in the dark. The night vision goggles he wore also needed the target to emit invisible light spectrum to work. Floating monsters were different from red-shelled insects. Ice elemental energy basically didn't have much heat energy, so the rays that could be captured by the night vision goggles were very few. Only when the night vision goggles that were specially designed to capture dark energy were invented in the future would they have nowhere to hide.
The doors of the residential buildings were all open, and there were signs of violence at the door locks. Obviously, a large-scale looting and violence occurred when the military area organized the retreat. In the living room of one of the rooms, a rotten and smelly corpse hung from the ceiling, and there were two more on the ground. In total, there were two adults and one child. It was probably a family of three who didn't have time to retreat. The living room was very messy, and Chu Yunsheng didn't know whether it was done by the thugs or the floating monsters.
Chu Yunsheng had killed many living people and seen many dead people, so his psychological quality was extremely strong. If it were those students in the hotel, they would be scared to death if they saw this scene, or at least they would vomit non-stop.
After taking a look, he turned around and was about to continue to go upstairs. But suddenly, he heard a slight sound coming from the room behind him, as if something was knocked down. Then with a swoosh, a shadow rushed from one door of the living room to another door. Chu Yunsheng was shocked, and immediately took back his foot that had already stepped on the stairs. The strong bow in his hand was replaced by a flaming sword, and he carefully moved his feet, trying not to make any sound, and walked in from the door step by step.
He went to the roof to hunt the floating monsters. He must not leave any hidden danger behind him. In case something jumped out from downstairs and made a sudden attack when he was fighting with the floating monsters, it would be very dangerous.
The house was not big, with a standard two bedrooms and one living room. The two bedrooms faced south, the kitchen and the bathroom faced north, and the living room was in the middle. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a dining table that was turned over on the ground. One corner of the dining table was pressed on the rotten leg of a corpse. The TV behind it had rolled down in front of the sofa. It was stained with blood, and there were traces of shaking. The refrigerator was open, and there was nothing inside. It was leaning against the wall, and the solid wood floor below was scattered with all kinds of things.
As soon as he entered the door, Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath and suddenly moved. With a lightning-fast speed, he only left an afterimage in the living room. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the door of the kitchen. The flaming sword in his hand lit up the small kitchen.
But Chu Yunsheng was stunned all of a sudden. It was not a kitten or a puppy, nor a threatening insect. Even if he scratched his head, he could not imagine that it was a naked girl, curled up in the corner of the cupboard, looking at him in horror.
"Who are you?" Chu Yunsheng took off the night vision goggles and asked a meaningless question. It was just to ease the atmosphere. This person was nothing more than a citizen who did not have time to retreat.
But when he took off the night vision goggles, his vision returned to normal, and he was suddenly shocked!
Under the dancing flame on the tip of the sword, the girl's snow-white body was like a snow-white cream wrapped in fresh milk. It was crystal clear, exuding a layer of faint green light, full of mystery, holiness, and beauty. She did not look like an ordinary person at all.
Her hair was very long and beautiful. It was vertical to her waist, and it was sky blue. As she curled up her body, the ends of her hair touched the smooth pink tile floor and gently moved up and down with the shaking of her body.
She tried to protect the place where her body was hiding, trembling slightly. Looking at Chu Yunsheng, her eyes were as beautiful as rubies, but her eyes were full of panic, fear, and fear.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was a touch of light floral fragrance on her body, which surprisingly could not be eroded by the pungent smell of rotten bodies in the living room.
Perhaps some people would feel sympathetic or have some kind of desire because of this, but Chu Yunsheng did not. He knew that the danger in the dark was always accompanied by carelessness and numbness. A human with blue hair and red pupils should never appear in Nanjing, even in Europe. The girl's body did not have a trace of chemical smell, and the natural blue color was not a normal human color.
"Who are you!?" Chu Yunsheng's voice was serious, and it was filled with killing intent. It was the same sentence, but this time it was meaningful.
The girl was obviously frightened by Chu Yunsheng's sternness and trembled violently. The fear in her eyes turned into extreme despair. Just when Chu Yunsheng was puzzled, she actually closed her eyes, then crawled on the cold tile floor, as if she was performing an ancient ritual, and kept praying in a language that Chu Yunsheng did not understand.
Then Chu Yunsheng was surprised to find that when the girl opened her eyes again, there was no longer fear or panic. Instead, there was a kind of incomparable piety, a kind of firm faith, and perhaps a trace of repentance for the panic just now. She calmly and extremely devoutly knelt in front of Chu Yunsheng, as if she was waiting for something.
Chu Yunsheng did not know what happened to her just now. In order to prevent the possibility that she might be an intruder like the giant head, he already had the killing intent in his heart. He raised the sword, wanting to kill the potential danger in the bud.
In a breath's time, the sword suddenly slashed down!
How sharp was the flaming sword? At such a close distance, let alone a fifteen-year-old girl, even the armored red-shelled insect would not be able to resist it!
However, the sharp and burning blade only stopped less than a finger's thickness in front of the young girl's mutton-like neck. The scalding heat wave made the young girl's sky-blue hair slightly curl up, the flames blowing on her delicate and natural face until it was white with a hint of red, but she didn't move at all.
The girl's calm and devout expression made Chu Yunsheng change his mind. The invaders would not be so obedient. Which one of them was not an extremely arrogant guy? Bighead was already in such a mess, and he didn't even have a body, but he was still as arrogant as before!?
That kind of innate sense of superiority towards the lower beings was not able to pretend to be afraid of Chu Yunsheng, a human being. It was just like how human beings could sympathize with an ant, and even fight for an ant, but they would never be afraid of an ant, afraid of an ant.
He decided not to kill her, but to keep her alive and figure out her origin. The giant head had already shed all pretense of cordiality with him, and he would not be able to get any useful information from it. This girl of unknown origin might be useful to him.
"These are clothes, put them on first, and then leave." Chu Yunsheng took out a few underwear and down jackets from the storage talisman and threw them in front of the girl. She probably didn't understand what he was talking about, so he gestured and said.
But he did not notice that when he "conjured" a pile of clothes from the storage talisman, the girl's devout eyes suddenly became more reverent and excited.
She kept skillfully performing the strange but very strict and solemn ritual that seemed to have been practiced for a long time. She crawled on the ground and kept repeating the same two syllables, "Gay, Gay …"
"Your name is Gai Yi?" Chu Yunsheng frowned his brows and asked.
Who would have thought that as soon as the girl heard Chu Yunsheng say the word Gay, she crawled even more, and her expression also became extremely excited. After a while, she finally straightened her body, but she was still kneeling on the ground. Her hands were crossed, placed between her sharp chin and her soft lips, and her eyes were closed. Tears were flowing down her cheeks, and she was praying silently.
Chu Yunsheng was worried that he would disturb the floating monsters outside, so he forcibly pulled her up from the tile floor, stuffed the clothes in her hands, and then took off his clothes and put them on again. While gesturing to her, he said in a deep voice, "I know you don't understand, but you have to understand. Put them on like me, now, now, now!"
There were indeed floating monsters coming from outside. From the time he left the train station to the time he returned to Nanjing City, it took him less than a day. The intra-species competition between the floating monsters was not completely over, but the advanced floating monsters that had won and successfully evolved in some areas had already begun to swim around. Although their first target at the moment was still their own kind, if they found human beings, of course, they would not miss the opportunity to "eat".
Compared with ordinary floating monsters, these floating monsters were more difficult to deal with. Chu Yunsheng was only at Yuan Tian stage one, so he did not dare to be careless.
The girl's ritual was interrupted, but at least she "understood" what Chu Yunsheng meant. She obediently put on her clothes and covered her alluring body. Then, she looked at Chu Yunsheng respectfully. Her eyes were filled with sincerity, as if she was a servant serving a god.
"Come with me to the train station first!"
Chu Yunsheng knew that she could not understand, but it was better than not talking. The best way to learn a language was not to copy textbooks and do translation questions. The more she listened, the more she learned, the more she would understand.
When hunting floating monsters, Chu Yunsheng was used to acting alone. If he took a burden with him, his attack, pursuit, and retreat would be affected. So it was better to leave her with Feng Yingxi for the time being.
Who would have thought that when the two of them just left the gate of the residential building, they would encounter a huge floating monster passing by at a low altitude. Originally, it did not pay attention to the movement below, and with Chu Yunsheng's ability, it was completely impossible for it to find him. However, the blue-haired girl "bravely" rushed out and "protected" Chu Yunsheng in front of him. She pointed her finger at the huge floating monster, probably to warn Chu Yunsheng. Her voice was very pleasant to hear, and even a little cute, "Wuyidi, Wuyidi!"
Chu Yunsheng didn't need her to remind him. Just when he was about to fight, he was surprised to find that the blue-haired girl took out a thin piece of paper from somewhere and put it between her lips. Then she gently bit it ….
"Don't tell me she wants to defeat a floating monster with a piece of paper?" Chu Yunsheng looked at her extremely serious action, and an absurd thought flashed through his mind.
