MTL - I Became An Acre Of Haunted Land-v2 Chapter 289 fighting
In the spacious and bright city lord's mansion, Jiangnan Wang was still reviewing the work at hand with his head bowed.
After the first battle in New Mora City, in addition to re-testing the true strength of the army's armored forces, it also harvested a vast fertile soil.
His original plan was to gather the residents of New Mora City to work hard to clear the wasteland, but the shattered and burned bone fragments made them doubtful.
Basically, not many people dare to cultivate that piece of land.
Therefore, the agitation against these people has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved now.
"If a piece of fertile land is wasted like this, it is completely reckless. Those ignorant guys have no idea what kind of gift the undead army gave them."
"To change to before..."
King Jiangnan said very dissatisfied, he remembered the scene after the ancient insects invaded when he was in the wasteland.
The abundant spiritual energy in the ancient worm injected vitality into the originally desolate land, and countless big trees thrived in that area.
If it weren't for the wasteland there, people from Jiangnan City would have come to use it long ago.
Even if the demon lord disagreed, the negotiators appointed by Jiangnan City had communicated with him many times about the lease of the land.
But now...
Although the strength of the undead army is completely incomparable to that of the ancient insects, they are still deified creatures, and they still have the unique divine power factor in this world left in their bodies.
The researchers have thoroughly studied the nutrient content of that land, so there is no need to worry that nothing can be grown on that land.
If it weren't for the sharp drop in the number of people in Qilin District, how could such a good opportunity come to the residents of New Mora City.
"There is a long way to go to guide the residents of New Mora City with common sense!"
Lowering his head and sighing, King Jiangnan could only find a way to transfer personnel from the production department in Qilin District, which was not much in the first place, and take that piece of land into the possession of the City Lord's Mansion.
Don't even want to give it away for free, he doesn't understand what these people are thinking.
After dealing with a few business matters again, a guard hurried into his office, and then submitted an urgent report.
"Huh? There have been more than a dozen murder cases in a row in the slums? At the same time, the rumors of fear that have been suppressed in New Mora City have spread again?"
Looking at the document in hand, Jiangnan Wang was suddenly furious. He slapped the table, threw the report document onto the desk heavily, and then asked.
"Xiao Luming? Isn't he responsible for the safety of Xinmora City? How does he deal with such problems?"
According to reports, there have been several premeditated murders recently in the west side streets of the slums.
The victims all stared at the ceiling with wide-eyed eyes, as if they had seen some kind of terrifying monster before they were alive.
The internal organs of the body were completely hollowed out, leaving only the hollow and rotting corpse naked in the photographed pictures.
Such a terrorist attack will only make the rumors that have been pressed down before spread again.
This is not an ordinary dereliction of duty. When things are not properly controlled, it is entirely possible to affect the already unstable New Mora City regime.
"Xiao Luming has already begun to investigate the matter. These incidents happened extremely strangely, and the monitoring on the street corner did not detect any favorable clues."
"It seems that the beast that killed these civilians appeared in their room out of thin air."
The soldier in front of him seemed to know something about the situation, and after seeing King Jiangnan getting angry, he hurriedly explained.
The dead victims were basically the lowest-level civilians in New Mora City. Due to the lack of people who took over New Mora City, the response to such things was extremely slow.
This time, not only a dozen people died, but after investigation by the Ability Bureau, it was even found that some poor people in the slums were completely missing.
Those poor people who are at the bottom of life, basically no one will notice their existence.
If Qilin District hadn't launched a large-scale census and census after it settled in the city, and had a preliminary understanding of the population of New Mora City, those missing people might not even be found.
More than a dozen murders and the disappearance of dozens of people, in the eyes of the people in the City Lord's Mansion, this is a completely earthquake-like answer.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Luming hurriedly sent the report after discovering that the situation had changed.
Otherwise, in ordinary times, Jiangnan Wang would not need to deal with it at all.
"Appeared out of thin air? Dozens of people are still missing?"
After the guard soldiers explained all of Xiao Luming's investigation, King Jiangnan stood up directly.
"Lead the way, I want to see which moon hidden assassins who don't have eyesight dare to launch a terrorist attack in New Mora City!"
The forces of the Moon Yin Temple still slipped through the net in Xinmora City. After Jiangnan King heard about the situation of the deceased, he immediately thought it would be them.
…
Located in a dark and dirty street on a slum street, Berek, who was hiding in the shadows, stared coldly at the patrolling soldiers who rushed over not far away.
These people were carved out of the same mold as the soldiers who fought at the beginning, wearing uniform uniforms, and carrying weapons called pistols that could cause terrifying damage.
Berek's eyes were not on those ordinary soldiers, but on the leader surrounded by this group of people.
Through the communication with those people, Berek already knew his name clearly.
Xiao Luming, director of the Ability Bureau.
The title is weird, and the name is equally weird.
Of course, these still did not attract Berek's attention. The reason why he paid attention to Xiao Luming was because a special spiritual power in Xiao Luming's body attracted him.
A chilling aura was hidden in his body, although he carefully covered up that aura, but to the deceased, that mysterious power was revealed naked as if there was no cover.
Berek felt a hint of threat from that aura, although it was insignificant, he still felt it.
"Is this the pagan who was mentioned by the Moon Goddess in the city of Mora?"
"Since it can pose some threats to me!"
Observing the guards who arrived, Berek thought silently.
If these people ask Berek to comment, he is still willing to give an excellent evaluation.
The shadow believers dispatched together, originally intending to directly kill nearly a hundred poor people in this street, and transform them into undead to replenish cannon fodder for his army.
But the massacre of the Shadow Cultists was only halfway through when patrolling soldiers rushed over.
In order not to startle the enemy, Berek only threw the untransformed undead aside, and led the Shadow Cultists back into the shadows.
The efficiency of this group of people really amazed him.
You must know that all the previous shots were Shadow Cultists, and they had a huge advantage if they could escape into the shadows.
And the location he chose was the most chaotic slum.
Under such circumstances, those soldiers could find out that something was wrong here, and rushed over quickly, which had to make him feel a little surprised.
"Moon Hidden Assassin will not empty the victim's body, they will not do these things like taking off their pants and farting."
"Furthermore, these people seem to have been tortured by extreme fear before death. The Moon Hidden Assassins simply don't have the time to do such silly tricks."
"In other words, the suspicion of Yueyin assassin can be ruled out!"
Xiao Luming frowned and looked at the corpse in front of him. Not only were the internal organs in the chest cavity hollowed out, but there were also various scars on the body. The deceased died of some kind of cruel torture. left a place.
Even though Xiao Luming had seen many **** scenes before, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his throat.
The scene right now is too cruel, more than a dozen victims all died in the same way, staring blankly at the sky with wide-eyed terrified eyes, even standing next to them, one can feel a strong breath of despair pave the way. Come.
"But, if it wasn't for the Moon Hidden Assassin, who would have launched such a terrorist attack in New Mora City?"
Several investigators beside him looked at the hell-like scene and said tremblingly.
It was discovered that the reason for the problem here was the **** smell emanating from the slums. At first, the patrolling soldiers rushed over following the **** smell and thought it was the most common assassination.
After all, in New Mora City, the influence of the Moon Goddess is still secretly surviving, and they will cause some movement from time to time to attract the guards of New Mora City.
But what they found made them turn pale with shock. The bloodstains that flowed throughout the room, the hollowed out corpse, and the look of despair all showed that this was a major case.
As a full formation of guards arrived, more and more bodies were found, and they even found a dying victim, who unfortunately soon followed in his footsteps.
"I have no idea!"
Xiao Luming shook his head.
There was an uncomfortable smell in the victim's room, a dark, decaying smell that kept gathering in the room.
It wasn't until they arrived that the decadent and gloomy atmosphere gradually dissipated as the number of people increased.
The murderer was obviously not an ordinary person. After all, they did a very good job of monitoring and visiting New Mora City.
The first surveillance cameras were installed on all the main roads, and they were also installed at the gate of New Mora City.
Foreign businessmen entering New Mora City for trade are basically under the observation of the city hall, and it is difficult to do anything wrong.
Excluding the suspicion of outsiders as murderers, in the end, only people with various abilities like them can do this to this extent.
However, besides the Temple of the Moon and the Temple of the Sun, who else would be enemies with them?
"pagan?"
Just as Xiao Luming was thinking hard, looking for how to break through the current predicament, a black robed man with a height of nearly two meters walked over from a corner.
He didn't mind a few guards yelling at him to stop, so he came to the position ten meters away from Xiao Luming, and then stopped moving.
"Heretic? Who are you?"
Hearing the sudden sound, Xiao Luming immediately raised his head and looked over.
But soon, he yelled as if he was facing an enemy.
There was a terrifying aura in the body of the stranger who appeared suddenly.
Corrupt and gloomy, even though he wasn't close to Xiao Luming and his party, the aura he exuded made Xiao Luming's brows twitch.
This is a guy with terrifying strength. Although it is impossible to detect his specific strength, just that aura alone has crushed him for several stages.
A Qingfeng sword was pulled out of the scabbard directly, Xiao Luming stared at the stranger in front of him, not daring to act rashly at all.
"Me? Didn't we just fight a battle not long ago? Your army burned my subordinates to the ground, leaving no bone residue behind, so you forgot it so quickly?"
Berek said lightly, as if he didn't take that failure to heart.
Originally, he planned to leave here, but the aura in Xiao Luming's body that was completely different from theirs attracted him.
"Fire!"
After hearing Berek's answer, Xiao Luming ordered his subordinates to fire first without even thinking about it.
The identity has been identified, and there is no need to be too polite.
"Hey... how dare those mortals open fire on me?"
Light laughter sounded again, Berek didn't even look at those mortals, but looked at the long sword in Xiao Luming's hand with great interest.
These heretics are indeed different from them. Although they also use weapons, the difference is extremely obvious.
"I order you to fire...fire...huh?"
Xiao Luming gave the order again, but the people around him seemed to be deaf, and no one obeyed his order.
He hurriedly turned his head, and the soldiers who had been guarding him all ran away from their previous positions at some point, and were squatting on the ground trembling with their heads in their arms.
"You...fleeing?"
Xiao Luming caught his throat and looked at the guards hiding far away, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Mortals cannot resist the fear in their hearts."
"Okay, the person in the way has left, let me feel the difference between you heretics?"
Berek clapped his hands and approached Xiao Luming again.
As he got closer to Xiao Luming, the originally inaudible sense of threat became apparent.
Not surprisingly, that dagger was his weapon, but such a weak pagan, why did it bring him a strange sense of threat?
Is that the weapon?
"Kang..."
A flash of sword light flashed, and Xiao Luming stabbed straight towards Berek.
He didn't know why the guards left directly, but right now he didn't care so much. The tall stranger in front of him had a clear purpose, and he came to trouble them.
"Om..."
The Qingfeng sword stabbed straight into Berek's body, but the sound that Xiao Luming expected did not appear. The touch from the palm told him that the tip of the sword had touched some kind of hard object, preventing him from moving forward. half a step.
"Are you at this level?"
The icy sword edge pierced the outer robe, but the bones in the body withstood the attack.
Feeling the strange power flowing into his body along with the sword edge, Berek just shook his head lightly.
A very different kind of aura, but that's about it.
This power just entered Berek's body, and the breath of the dead in his body completely tore this power into pieces.
Can't even break through his defense!
Xiao Luming was horrified, why is this guy's body so hard? His weapon is a magic weapon specially made for them by the Jiangnan City Hall.
Even the body of an ancient insect can be torn apart, but why doesn't it even respond to the stab at the big man in front of him?
"Buzz!"
After stabbing again with a sword, Xiao Luming changed his position and stabbed towards Berek's thigh, but the sound made him feel desperate.
The powerful reverse thrust made his jaw go numb, and Xiao Luming found that he couldn't inflict any wounds on the enemy in front of him.
"Break the formation, attack!"
With a loud shout, Xiao Luming finally couldn't bear it any longer and mobilized the little aura in his body.
The spiritual energy came from the palm of the hand, and then wandered in the edge of the sword.
And with this loud shout, Berek, who was originally a bit bored, finally became solemn.
A strong sense of threat pricked his skin, this time he didn't push it too hard, stretched out his arm, and directly blocked the sword.
"Bang!"
A dull roar exploded at the position of Berek's arm, and a very special momentum rushed towards the long sword directly.
There was a slight crack in the bone in the arm, and then the crack gradually enlarged.
And after this blow, Xiao Luming retreated violently following the impact, directly pulling the distance between them tens of meters away.
Panting heavily, he took out a signal transmitter from his body and was about to launch it directly.
But Berek was even faster. After seeing the strange device, he didn't know where the heretic in front of him was going to call someone.
A bone spear rose from the intact left hand, and then flew over in an instant.
Before Xiao Luming could react, the several-meter-long bone spear directly passed through his chest, and a strong impact swept over. The flying spear sank into the ground with Xiao Luming's body, directly nailing him to the ground Can't move.
"It's really surprising power. After using that power, you can actually cause damage to my body."
Feeling the shattered bones in his right arm, Berek seemed to have discovered a new world, and became very interested in the pagans in front of him.
He waved his hand to get rid of the discomfort on his right arm, and then strode to Xiao Luming's side.
At this moment, Xiao Luming had already fallen into a coma, and bone spears as thick as fists pierced through his entire body, only the slightly heaving chest proved that he was still alive.
Berek bent down and lifted Xiao Luming up, the breath of the dead in his body began to surge, and then poured into his body.
"An interesting soul, if you transform you into an undead, you may be able to bring me a different surprise!"
Berek stared closely at Xiao Luming's face. Infused with the breath of the dead, decay and festering were growing on Xiao Luming's skin.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded behind Berek, and along with the voice, an irresistible force also came at the right time.
Berek's body made a teeth-stinging sound, and then his body was directly sent flying.
A figure quickly picked up the fallen Xiao Luming, and asked indifferently.
