Regarding this new skill of his, Ren Xiaosu had thought of many possibilities. For example, it could be a very powerful short-term boost like City Crusher, or it could be a tool-type trap like the Brambles. At the very least, it could be something like the Potato Shooter.
But he really did not expect that it would be such a strange skill.
Ren Xiaosu imagined it for a moment. In a battle where hundreds or even thousands of people were fighting to the death, he would be the only one standing calmly in the middle of the battlefield and picking his ears.
If he were an enemy, he would definitely not be happy with him. Ren Xiaosu felt that if his enemy still picked his ears nonchalantly when facing his threat, he would definitely be very angry as well …
Bro, what are you doing? We're in the middle of a fight, so why are you picking your ears? Can't you show some respect?!
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu felt that it was better to use this skill cautiously in a team battle. After all, it would attract too much aggro.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were at the back of the team. He wanted to test out this skill while the others were not paying attention.
"Punch me." Ren Xiaosu said as he picked his ears, "Use a little more force."
Yang Xiaojin did not say much and just threw a punch at Ren Xiaosu. But just like how Luo Lan slapped Ren Xiaosu just now, that fair fist was blocked by an invisible force 30 centimeters away from Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'This girl is really ruthless. I told her to hit him, and she just hit his face …'
But the fist did not stop when it was 30 centimeters away from him. Instead, it bounced back, catching Yang Xiaojin off guard. She hurriedly tried to reduce the force.
Ren Xiaosu was amused. 'This thing actually has a counterforce?
It looks like this ear-picking skill is really an effective defensive method. '
"Pick up a rock and try hitting me." Ren Xiaosu said smugly, "Use a little more force."
"Yeah." Yang Xiaojin nodded.
As she spoke, Yang Xiaojin picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out. Ren Xiaosu watched the stone getting closer and closer to him. When the stone was about 30 centimeters away, he wanted to say something, but he saw that the stone had broken through the 30-centimeter barrier …
Boom!
The stone smashed into Ren Xiaosu's chest, causing Ren Xiaosu to lean backwards.
When the people in front heard the commotion, they hurriedly looked back and wondered if the Pyro Company's people had launched a sneak attack. However, Ren Xiaosu quickly stood up and said, "It's fine, I'm fine!"
Everyone looked at the stones that were still rolling on the ground, then looked at Yang Xiaojin. It turned out that the couple was quarreling, so they didn't pay attention to it anymore.
Ren Xiaosu frowned as he looked at Rock. So, Rock could hit him after he let go. In other words, his Ear Picking skill couldn't deal with gunfire.
"Hit me with a rock," Ren Xiaosu said.
Yang Xiaojin threw the rock at Ren Xiaosu. This time, the Ear Picking skill activated again and blocked Yang Xiaojin's hand 30 centimeters away.
It looked like this skill was still useful against handheld weapons.
Yang Xiaojin asked softly, "A new power? Who did you copy it from? "
"I didn't copy it. I got it after being punished for the past few days … I guess it's a form of compensation." Ren Xiaosu explained, "From the looks of it, this skill is only useful in close combat. It can't defend against gunfire."
But who was fighting in close combat these days? Only supernatural beings, right?
For example, the Pyro Company's people, Xu Xianchu, and the others.
Therefore, this skill could only be used against specific people in specific environments. It was far less effective than the armor.
Of course, there might be other uses for it that Ren Xiaosu had not discovered yet.
Cheng Yu, who was walking at the front of the group, turned around at this moment. When he saw Yang Xiaojin still holding a rock in her hand, he lamented to his assistant, "The way young people get along these days is really unpredictable …."
When the group finally crossed Mt. Shenchi and arrived at the outermost perimeter of the Sacred Mountains, everyone stopped in their tracks.
That was because they were surprised to discover all the plants in the Sacred Mountains were extremely tall. Ren Xiaosu looked at a plant that was taller than a person and whispered, "That's a coriander …. How did it grow so tall?"
It was not that Ren Xiaosu had never seen wild coriander growing before, but it only grew to his waist at best.
He broke off a coriander leaf and discovered a milky white liquid was oozing out of it.
"You can't eat it anymore." Ren Xiaosu said to Yang Xiaojin, "In the wild, nine out of ten plants with this kind of milky white liquid will kill you if you eat them. The plants here have all evolved, but the direction of their evolution is not what humans want to see."
Plants also had their own defensive abilities. For example, many plants would even evolve strange smells and toxins in order to avoid being eaten by insects.
Right at this moment, something seemed to be crawling through the thick underbrush. Ren Xiaosu controlled "Old Xu" to rush into it, with Cheng Yu and the others following closely behind.
But after pushing aside the grass and walking for about a hundred meters, they still lost track of it in the end.
"Look, there's a shrine here," someone said in surprise.
Everyone turned around and was surprised to see a stone shrine about half the height of a person at the feet of that person. The statue was sitting quietly in the shrine with its eyes closed and its hands forming a hand seal.
"Does anyone recognize this shrine? What kind of god is it? "Cheng Yu asked. He had never known much about religion.
"I've never seen it before." Everyone shook their heads.
Luo Lan chuckled as he squatted in front of the shrine and observed it. "This thing looks quite strange. Look, it has six fingers."
As he spoke, everyone looked over. It was no wonder everyone found it a little awkward earlier. It turned out that the hands of the shrine looked a little deformed. There was even a slender finger growing out of the statue's pinky finger.
Someone reached out to touch the back of the shrine to see what was inside.
Usually, such shrines would have items that had been consecrated behind them. These items were mainly jewelry, scriptures, jade artifacts, and gold and silver livers and lungs that symbolized the internal organs of the shrine.
Therefore, if these items were on the back of the shrine, they would be considered valuable antiques if they were taken out.
At this moment, someone retreated in panic and tripped over a grass root. "Did you guys see that? I think it opened its eyes to look at me just now!"
Luo Lan turned to look at the eyes of the shrine, but they were still closed. "You must be in a trance. You didn't open your eyes at all."
But at this moment, the person who had fallen to the ground suddenly grabbed his throat. Two streams of bloody tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
This living person had died in the blink of an eye!
Cheng Yu was bewildered. His assistant wanted to go over to check but was held back by him. It was Ren Xiaosu who controlled "Old Xu" to go over and check his pulse. Only then did he confirm that the person was indeed dead.
The chattering crowd suddenly quietened down. Everyone looked at the god in the shrine and saw that it was smiling strangely.
