Kelvin only noticed the anomaly when Wu Youren was fully engaged in the operation, and Chen Quanxu deserves much credit for this.
In any case, Wu Youren admits that he is not as good as Scops Owl at causing hallucinations.
However, after the other party noticed something was wrong, they didn't resist immediately, which was tantamount to handing over their chance of survival.
Before arriving, Wu Youren was not confident that he could kill his opponent.
Putting aside the fearsome reputation of Ability User, just based on previous interactions with Kelvin, one knows that this man is not to be trifled with.
He was satisfied if he could force this person to flee in panic and never dare to return to Tianjing.
As a second-best option, if we can make this guy disappear for a while and stop thinking about Little Ha, then we've achieved our objective.
Therefore, he not only acted discreetly and ruthlessly, but also concealed methods that could reveal his identity, with the aim of keeping his opponent guessing.
But he never dreamed that this person, having already lost the initiative, would not choose to go all out!
So, one wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps.
He's already going all out, showing no mercy, making it very difficult for the enemy to escape from underground.
Chen Quanxu discussed the battle plan with him, and upon hearing this, he replied without hesitation, "Let's try to suffocate them underground!"
"Okay," the boy nodded, "Then let's confirm, the loot in the cave—it doesn't matter?"
Kelvin has been staying in the Bellflower Mountain recently, attracted by the abundance of resources there.
Whether it's fair trade, forced buying and selling, or even hunting monsters yourself, you can make money.
There's something hidden in this dugout.
Wu Youren wasn't sure how much stuff there was, but there were at least four or five weapons, and as for the other treasures—it was hard to say.
He was definitely a little heartbroken, but with a formidable enemy at hand, sacrificing this small gain wouldn't matter. However, he had to consider his teammates' feelings.
"How much can he carry with him?" Scops Owl scoffed dismissively. "Hurry up, it's hard for me to conceal the tremors underground!"
Kelvin's strength lies mostly in his ability to Ability User, but his close-combat prowess is approaching that of Great Knight.
He was trapped underground, his connection with the puppet was severed, and he was unable to manifest or teleport.
However, those attacks originating from themselves were also incredibly powerful, shaking the ground violently.
A kilometer away is the supply point, and seven or eight hundred meters away from the dugouts, there are temporary tents set up by martial artists.
At such a distance, even if the sound comes from underground, it is easily detected.
Wu Youren confirmed his companion's intention, and the hand gesture he was making changed.
Kelvin, who was angrily smashing the top, has changed his strategy.
He had determined that the petrification above was too severe, and that an attack would be futile, so he began to try to dig into the side of the dugout.
The side walls were not only covered with soil, but also with rocks of various sizes, making them difficult to excavate.
However, compared to the top, it's much easier now.
He didn't notice that a patch of soil had begun to churn slightly, as if something was falling.
By the time he realized this, a scorching heat had already entered the dugout, surging and turbulent!
"Damn it—this hallucination!" Kelvin roared, realizing he hadn't even noticed such an obvious disturbance!
Without a doubt, that Ability User has never given up influencing him.
Perhaps it's not a mental type, but just a support type? However, at this moment, none of that matters anymore.
He roared at the top of his lungs, "I surrender! I surrender! I'm willing to be a slave, a slave!"
Because a new Ability User has appeared outside, specializing in fire elemental abilities!
His roar, though somewhat barely concealed, carried far into the night.
Fortunately, the general consensus among Liang warriors is that it's best not to venture out into the wilderness at night.
Although some people noticed the unusual activity, their first instinct was to observe and try to figure out what had happened.
The Scops Owl urged, "Faster, faster!"
"I've already tried my best," the boy muttered to himself, his hands almost flying as he made hand seals.
The combination of earth and fire magic not only requires massive output but also needs to be properly integrated to avoid conflict!
For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, one cannot ask for more.
Finally, after seven or eight minutes, his body shuddered slightly: Here it comes—experience points have been credited!
Inside the dugout, scalding lava was now churning.
Kelvin all his Battle Qi to resist, but it was basically useless; various supplies even began to burn or melt.
He screamed in agony, too desperate to even beg for mercy.
In the moments before he lost consciousness, amidst his screams, a deep sense of bewilderment filled his mind: What the hell have I done to deserve this?
Three Ability User actually joined forces to sleep with the Crown Princess of Liang. This is the kind of treatment one gets, right?
"I'm leaving," Wu Youren turned around and ran off, no longer caring about the aftermath.
This wave of experience points was so overwhelming that it made him question his own theoretical framework.
Kelvin's experience points were equivalent to a Great Knight's at the start, and they kept pouring in.
Chen Quanxu this person's level was equivalent to that of Ability User Apprentice.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that they're already Ability User individual, or at worst, a rather weak one.
Even so, wouldn't that be roughly equivalent to a Great Knight?
Considering that the Jin has no enmity with the Far West, the experience points should theoretically be reduced considerably – that's exactly how it is with the Barbarian Tribe.
However, he has now reached the level of a Great Knight, and experience points are still pouring in.
This was somewhat beyond the boy's expectations. Without saying a word, he should just slip away.
The scene was a complete mess; if Liang wanted to investigate, then let them.
The investigation came later than Wu Youren had imagined.
From the direction of the supply station, many people were drawn by the roars and the huge ripples.
But the roar was too terrifying and too tragic; those who dared to investigate were stopped by their companions.
After all, the strange events in the Suspended Bell Mountain Weird Domain had only just passed, so any reversals at this moment wouldn't be particularly unexpected.
By the time they confirmed that the battle was fought by Ability User, it was long after dawn.
The Hall of Extraordinary Masters is very powerful in the Bellflower Mountain, and most martial artists are unwilling to deal with them.
They received the news around noon.
By this time, Wu Youren had already returned to the Rust Zone.
He drove more than ten kilometers overnight, found the hidden motorcycle, and Gale.
Because he was so full, he was unable to stop the circulation of his internal energy and remained passively conscious.
His original plan was to go into the cave to rest until the next night after he succeeded, and then return – he had even dug the cave.
But in this situation, there's no way to rest, and no cleanup of the scene has been done. What if this attracts the attention of the Hall of Extraordinary Masters?
It would be better to run back to the Rust Zone, at least that would be much farther away from the scene of the incident.
We drove on until dawn, and finally, in the distance, we could see the Rust Zone.
There are few vehicles driving at night, but not none at all, especially when they form a convoy, the risk is greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the motorcycle provided by Chen Quanxu did not require taking main roads; it could be driven across the wilderness without affecting speed, and the noise level was also controllable.
Aside from being fuel-inefficient, it's not bad at all.
Wu Youren even passed by several groups of tents; as long as he kept his distance, it was fine.
Before daybreak, he returned to the Rust Belt, but instead of going back to his original camp, he settled in another one.
It was at this point that the surging experience points gradually became intermittent and returned to normal.
Wu Youren held on until the afternoon before his health improved slightly.
He first hid the motorcycle, then went to another campsite, took out the hidden watch, and turned it on.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of messages came in, accumulating to seventy or eighty in five days.
For Wu Youren, anything that didn't involve major changes in the situation was a minor matter.
He ignored all inquiries, notifications, and greetings; that's how capricious people are when they have no friends.
Even when the head guard asked him if he had gained anything after staying in the City Guard Bureau camp for so long, he didn't bother to answer.
However, Jin Garden's intelligence network should not be underestimated; they clearly knew what he was doing at the City Guard Bureau.
The content related to Parasitic Weird was simply too sensitive, which is why the Duke of Wei's illegitimate son vaguely asked about the "harvest."
I wonder what state Lei Lixing has been parasitized in now.
About five minutes after booting up, Commander Jeff sent me a message: "Is this the rightful owner?"
The boy frowned. He hadn't really wanted to reply, but the other person was watching him turn on his phone, so he replied with a question.
The commander responded quickly, "Prove it's him, otherwise I will send troops to arrest him."
So unreasonable— Wu Youren had no idea that during the five days he had his phone off, someone from the New Army had actually come to see him.
But he didn't want to give the other party a reason to come, so he could only ask in return, "Do you have a get-out-of-jail-free card?"
The person on the other end was clearly taken aback, and after a long pause, finally replied, "Let me think of the next question."
The boy thought for a moment, then turned off the watch again; after all, nothing major was going to happen.
He remained at the camp until nightfall.
The comfort level here is much lower, and the defenses aren't strong enough, but he thinks it's good to change camps from time to time.
Kelvin's dugout was comfortable and well-defended, but once it was blocked, escape was difficult.
Wu Youren had noticed this when he made his move, and couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.
Fortunately, he never had high demands for the comfort of the campsite; as long as he could survive, having a place to sleep was good enough.
Judging from Kelvin's fate, the saying "born in hardship, die in comfort" is indeed true.
Therefore, I need to pay close attention to this point in the future. During the stage of struggling to survive, one does not deserve the right to enjoy pleasure.
He hadn't even absorbed half of that wave of experience points by the next morning.
Chen Quanxu, however, prompted him, "Look at Little Ha, something seems off."
