Chapter 246: Cut in Two
The central square echoed with overlapping sounds of chanting. Everyone in the investigation team stood around the square, paying close attention to the development of the situation.
Bai Mo's clone was constantly moving around the outside of the square, using his spiritual mind to sense the situation at each location in detail.
Ten or twenty minutes passed, but still nothing happened, and the patience of the group was constantly being worn away.
Many people began to doubt the effectiveness of this measure, but since the leader had not yet spoken, no one took advantage of it to offend another big shot who proposed this idea.
However, the careless expressions on their faces also reflected their true inner thoughts to a certain extent.
Bai Mo naturally saw the changes in the expressions of these people, but at this time he was already somewhat interested in the matter and did not consider the idea of a group of salted fish at all.
"One, two, three, and three more people," he counted. In addition to Wen Jian, there were two people traveling with him who had discovered some clues.
"What kind of existence do you think it would be to be able to use mental power out of the body so accurately?" Wen Jian, who sensed something was wrong, sent a message to Bai Mo.
"I don't know, its spiritual tentacles are still testing."
"I feel the same way, but it should be ready to take action."
The four people, who have strong enough senses to detect unknown existences, are now ready to fight.
"Be careful, that thing is coming." One of the abilities, one of whose specialties is mental perception, informed the others present.
Looking at the serious-faced people, their expressions that originally seemed careless began to become serious. Although they didn't sense anything strange, their teammates had no reason to deceive themselves.
Whether they really listened to the advice or just pretended to do it, the vast majority of people seemed to be ready to take on the challenge, which could be considered as giving the notifier some face. Of course, this was largely because Wen Jian, as the leader of the operation, He also stood solemnly.
Wen Jian and the others exchanged information quickly amid mental fluctuations to determine the details of the next action.
"Here it comes!" At this time, in the mental perception of the four people, a huge creature that was invisible to the naked eye and whose mental power could not touch the boundaries suddenly stretched out several tentacles from the void and pierced straight into the center of the square!
"Go!" As an esper representing the highest level of force, even if his core ability is the Wenjian of physical attack, he will definitely not lack the means of mental attack and defense.
Every strong person who can climb to the top on his own will work hard to make up for the shortcomings in his abilities. No one hopes that he will be killed by an enemy because of his shortcomings.
Although Wen Jian is not good at research, he also understands how much advantage a monster corpse that is almost as powerful as himself can bring to his future cultivation path.
Normally, it would be impossible for him to fight to the death with a human of the same level for the other's body, but to kill such an alien who is slightly weaker than himself, he obviously has no psychological pressure at all.
Although the two sides were disproportionate in size, based on the feeling in his brain, he still believed that his chances of winning were quite high if they fought head-on.
"Is it it?" Although Bai Mo had such a conjecture before, he was not sure yet. It was not until several tentacles appeared in the center of the square, constantly looking for traces of living people, that he confirmed the identity based on the breath of the other party. "I'm afraid the only thing left is the final kick."
"Kill!" Because mental power cannot be used outside the body, Wen Jian unfolded Xuan Hua and turned into a giant sword that struck at the monster at a terrifying speed!
In his opinion, even if this monster is slightly weaker than himself, it can already be regarded as a level-one enemy. To deal with it, the best way is to strike first.
The remaining two ability users who could sense the enemy's presence knew that they were no match for it, so they just silently defended themselves.
At this time, to the naked eyes of ordinary people, Wen Jian was alone, launching an attack at an empty position in the air. The scene was very strange.
But no one dares to take it lightly. An invisible enemy is obviously more disturbing than a visible enemy.
As an action leader, Wen Jian or the civilian work level is not as good as them, but in terms of strength and perception alone, everyone under him is willing to believe in him.
After recognizing that it was the Ghost King that he had dealt with before, Bai Mo did not follow Wenjian to attack, but threw a spiritual mark towards it, intending to confirm its location.
However, he soon discovered that his spiritual mark on the tentacles melted very quickly, and it was impossible to locate the opponent's body through the mark.
So Bai Mo instead conveyed his own mental fluctuations and tried to communicate with it.
The tentacles that had just been attracted to the central square by the countless chanting sounds immediately began to grow branches rapidly, desperately searching for possible living people around them.
It's a pity that there's no need to look for it soon. A terrifyingly strong living person is already attacking it, and will fight it to the death.
"Anode Sword!" Wen Jian transformed into a giant sword that exuded a dazzling light, and struck at the tentacle that was completely unable to avoid it.
The slender giant sword, which was forty meters long and less than two meters wide, directly cut off two of the tentacles, and the remaining two tentacles also suffered a lot of damage.
"Pfft." After the sword was struck, the girl with her eyes closed suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. The blood that fell on the ground was dark red and did not look like the blood of a living person at all.
At the same time, in the beds of hospitals in nearby cities, dozens of patients who were in coma due to the spell incident suddenly had their brains explode and turned into dead people instantly.
"Swordsman who blocks my way, I will remember you." The girl, awakened by the severe pain in the depth induction, immediately took back control of her body, gritted her teeth and prepared to retreat.
The mental tentacle monster that wanders around the cities of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, constantly looking for new connection units based on instinct, is her true identity.
"Have we met in Tianhai?" It suddenly received such a mental wave.
"Is it you?" It relies on its mental power to perceive the world. After a little discrimination, it has recognized Bai Mo.
"Are you with that group of people?"
"So, maybe not." Bai Mo gave an ambiguous answer.
"If your answer is no, I think we can talk alone." It still has a little bit of trust in this human being who worked hard to create itself.
"Um."
"Lianzhou District, Jiangsu and Zhejiang City... I hope you can come here alone." After reporting an address, it disappeared into the air in an instant with a few remaining tentacles.
"Can."
"You ran away so fast." The enemy disappeared in an instant, which made Wen Jian a little unhappy, but after "looking" at the loot in front of him, his mood immediately improved.
"Minister Wen, I want to talk to you about something..." Bai Mo stepped forward and made a deal with Wen Jian, using some of his hidden secret research results in exchange for one of the tentacles.
As for the other one, Wen Jian felt that it should be kept in his own hands and did not choose to trade it.
