Chapter 183 Down Payment
As the mountains shook, large amounts of mud and debris rolled down from the top of the mountains.

The ancient trees fell to the ground with a loud noise, the ground cracked in the raging mud torrent, and a slender and sharp leg slowly stretched out from right in front of the field of vision.

Then the second, third, fourth...

Amidst the roar and the dust, a huge outline appeared in front of the convoy.

It was like a strange stick insect, but it was magnified thousands of times, so that a single leg was hundreds of meters long. Its body was covered with a carapace, and its head had tentacles dancing randomly, and its legs smashed into the ground, leaving deep grooves.

As if it was enraged, it madly attacked every living thing it saw.

"Disaster beast?"

Ji Jue leaned out of the car window, holding a telescope in his hand, and spied on the huge monster in the distance. It was a pity that Xiao Jiu was not here, otherwise they could have shared the view.

But apart from sharing vision, she is of no great use for now.

As the good girl left by Mercury, she really didn't seem to have any fighting power. She couldn't even snatch the remote control from the little calf. In order to avoid swallowing something in the cave, Ji Jue didn't dare to bring it outside. She stayed in the workshop and asked her to urge Ye Chun to study hard and write the thesis.

As the focus of the telescope was adjusted, the giant creature in the distance gradually became clearer, but in fact the telescope was almost no longer needed, as the enraged beast was already galloping towards them with its legs dancing!

The strong wind blew in my face, carrying with it a faint stench.

The wriggling tentacles that looked like mouthparts shot out and rolled up half of the truck into its mouth, chewing it into pieces.

Disaster beast.

A real disaster beast!
These days, disasters are rampant in the wild and people can only live in cities. And between the big and small cities, in the wilderness, besides frequent earthquakes and storms, the most terrifying thing is probably this kind of extraordinary monster.

Sometimes it is a vast tide of beasts with no end in sight, and sometimes it is these disasters that chase the beasts and never get satiated!
Anyone can become the chosen one by chance, but in the wilderness full of dangers, under the influence of the call of the Supreme Good or the pollution of evil, no one knows when such a thing will emerge.

When an ordinary person encounters this beast, there is probably nothing they can do except run faster and pray that it isn't too hungry today.

But... this is a military convoy!
After seeing the situation clearly, Ji Jue was not panicked at all. He was originally hesitating whether to take advantage of the chaos to grab some materials. After all, if it could grow so big, maybe it would be blessed by the God or some other precious organs.

But before he could react, he saw the metallic light bursting out from the rapidly descending airship!
With a roar, it fell from the sky!

It's not a missile, it's a war machine that is more threatening than a missile.

——Authentic military power armor!

Ji Jue's saliva was almost flowing out.

Real power armor!

You know, no matter how old, broken, or rubbish the power armor model is, in the military's arsenal, it is classified as A-level, which Ji Jue can't even touch!
As for the main models and special aircraft currently in service, they cannot be found at all!

As soon as you press Enter, the alarm pops up.

The armored team that descended at this moment was six people, a standard terrorist quick response team, two Qiongqi, two Tengu, one White Tiger, and one Chongming!
One by one, armored vehicles that were more than three meters long fell to the ground amidst flames. Then, they picked up machine guns of exaggerated caliber and began firing. Chains of fire swept and chopped, instantly leaving deep cracks on the hardened shells, and slurry gushed out.

And even under such a terrifying reaction force, he could still run wildly with ease.

While in mid-air, Chongming, who had not yet landed, had already begun fire guidance. In less than half a minute, the missiles from the Yacheng garrison base had rushed over and hit the disaster beast in the face. The air waves swept through and the storm spread.

The smelly blood gushed out like a rainstorm.

Strength, speed, reaction and firepower, all of them were raised to incredible heights under the blessing of the power armor. What Ji Jue cared more about was the White Tiger who stood in front of the convoy to protect the target from beginning to end without taking any action.

Enshrouded in the light of blood and fire, the fluctuations of spiritual essence remained unshaken, as still as a mountain.

The pure aura of a large group without a single flaw!

That is the chosen one cultivated by the military itself!
Under the massive firepower and siege, the arrogant and huge disaster beast quickly had its limbs broken one by one, and then it was cut in half, and the stench spread.

But its vitality was so tenacious that it kept struggling, and its broken mouthparts opened and closed vigorously, trying to tear apart everything in front of it.

Until finally, blue and purple lightning appeared all over the sky!

In the faint electric light in the sky, the Chosen One, who had been accumulating strength for who knows how long, rose into the sky and waved his hand downwards. Suddenly, the dazzling light gathered into a beam and shot downwards!

The lightning that nearly reached the sky and the earth became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Amid the dissipating roars, the stench of burning spread along with the fallen beast.

In mid-air, the Chosen One looked down at his own achievements, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and he smiled contemptuously.

It's just a disaster beast, nothing more than that.

However, from his bird's-eye view, he seemed to see a familiar face. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked again, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

I can't bear it any longer...

twitch!

And right in the convoy, Ji Jue put down the telescope in his hand.

No wonder this scene looks so familiar.

An old acquaintance.

"Hey, isn't this Team Leader Yu?"

He murmured softly, "Long time no see."

Yu Hanguang, the team leader in charge of Lihua District in the Second Division of Yacheng Security Bureau, the protective umbrella behind Jiang Jin and his gang, and the Entropy Chosen One who almost killed him instantly with a furious blow!

He turned around and looked at the self-propelled artillery at the rear of the convoy.

A rare opportunity...

Do you want to go off the fire? .
Unfortunately, the self-propelled artillery said he was not feeling well today and the fire did not go off.

The main reason was that there were too many people present, and no one knew how many people were watching. The effect of the deus ex machina was not difficult to investigate, and once it was done, even if Yu Hanguang died on the spot, it would be difficult to clean up the evidence.

Ji Jue was in the car, and after pondering for a long time, he just hoped that this time Yu Hanguang would not only be responsible for the security of the convoy, but would also be involved in the sealing of the cave...

This way he would have the chance to commit suicide by being shot dozens of times in the back.

Unfortunately, there is still little hope.

Have to wait.

I used up a wave of evil bullets in the Ruins of Time, and now they are not enough. I have to catch two more large groups and bring them back to breed...

To deal with the most destructive Entropy Chosen One, you should prepare a plan and set traps to kill them with one strike. It is best to prepare poison, curse or other things.

At this stage, there is no opportunity to take action...

At least, after the transformation level.

Ji Jue pondered and returned to the car, not worrying that he would dare to do anything.

After all, the teacher was in the car in front, and if Ji Jue lost even a hair he would have to start the material processing process today.

However, what he didn't expect was that while he was waiting for a long time to pack up, someone knocked on his car door.

When he looked up, he saw the face he had just seen in the sky.

Yu Hanguang!
He actually came to my door!
It's the other way around!

I haven't bothered you yet...

Ji Jue pressed the steering wheel, and the machine gun in the cargo box loaded itself, and aimed successfully under the observation of the camera.

But what was even more coincidental was that outside the car window, Yu Hanguang's expression was as stiff as his, and even weirder...

It's like trying really hard to smile, but unfortunately not very successfully.

There is a kind of beauty like losing one's parents.

Realizing that he was being targeted, the corner of his eye twitched slightly, but he didn't take any action. It seemed as if he was trying even harder to laugh... and his laugh became even uglier!
Until the car window rolled down.

Ji Jue looked at his almost convulsive expression, suspicious and alert, and asked tentatively: "Team Leader Yu, hello...long time no see?" "Yes, yes." Yu Hanguang nodded stiffly, his voice dry.

Silence, another long silence.

Ji Jue frowned, "This is... busy?"

"Yeah yeah."

Yu Hanguang nodded frantically, his expression twitching even more violently, and he grunted as if something had broken down.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah yeah……"

In the extremely awkward situation, he finally stopped repeating, but his expression twitched as if he had received an electric shock, and he stuttered:

"Last time... we met... I was not very polite... that... small gift, please forgive me, Mr. Ji... I will... not bother you anymore... I will definitely come to your house to apologize when I have the chance, definitely!"

Having said that, as if afraid that Ji Jue would refuse, he left a box and hurried away with his head down.

Ji Jue didn't even react yet.

When I looked out, the taillights were gone.

He didn't even get a chance to shoot him twice in the back.

This is too fast!

The box that remained there was still stained with the blood of the previous disaster beast.

After opening it, it was a piece of bone that looked like metal and shone silver. It had merely been pre-processed by a craftsman and retained its original flavor.

As soon as it was opened, a dreamlike spiritual mist rose up and began to dissipate.

What made Ji Jue feel even more strange was the aura emerging from the bones of the disaster beast...

——Blessing of the Ruins, [Quality of Gold and Iron]!
It even contains the materials of the original blessing of the disaster beast? !

Ji Jue was confused.

What the hell? A weasel is here to pay New Year's greetings?!
But it’s not the New Year yet?

Three minutes later, the little cow horse was honking the horn frantically outside the RV.

The curses became more and more foul.

In the RV, Ji Jue sat opposite Professor Ye. He handed over the box, explained the whole story, then shrank his head and sat up straight obediently.

From beginning to end, Professor Ye just kept his head down, writing and drawing on his notebook, not even bothering to raise his head.

After listening to Ji Jue, he raised his head and glanced at the box: "Is it for you?"

"I guess not."

Ji Jue shook his head decisively.

Even if he thought with his heels, it was impossible for the previously arrogant and domineering Lihua District Team Leader of the Security Bureau to grit his teeth and bow his head to apologize to him now.

But after thinking about it, the only possibility is the teacher's face.

Either Sister Wen is about to master her magical powers and will be able to defeat eight hundred opponents. Those old demons and clowns are vulnerable and are kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. Yu Hanguang is afraid that he cannot kowtow enough, so he wants to burn incense and pray for face from Sister Wen.

But no matter which face it is, it is not yours.

He'd better not think that it's a bargain that will fall from the sky and that it's okay to take it.

Professor Ye only glanced at it and then looked away, showing little interest: "It's just ordinary stuff, take it."

The quality of gold and iron is also a common blessing in the Ruins series. It is like a large set of three-piece suits, a configuration that is almost everywhere. It depends on the individual whether he can operate it well and make it work.

Its effect is to increase the hardness and strength of the carrier by injecting spiritual essence, literally turning the human body into gold and iron, making it difficult to be damaged by swords.

With this, the Chosen One of the Ruins will be even tougher and their tankiness will be greatly improved.

For craftsmen, it is also a good blessing material. It is common and has many design options, so you don’t have to worry about it. It is usually used to make armor or protective props. It is also widely sold and there is no shortage of buyers.

Even if you have more than ten layers of shields all over your body, you won’t be afraid of adding one or two more layers.

"If you want it, take it. If you don't want the trouble, throw it away."

Professor Ye said calmly: "If you don't intend to take it for free, you can hit him lightly in the future and leave him a breath, which is also considered giving him face."

Ji Jue pondered for a moment and couldn't help shaking his head:

“I always feel like I’m losing out.”

Although Team Leader Yu was really handsome when he called him a little bastard and waved a thunderbolt that failed to kill him, it is a bit naive to just give him a blessing and pretend nothing happened.

When I reach a higher level in the future, I will kill you. Won't all the blessings on your body belong to me?
Isn’t it better than this thing?
"Then let him take out more."

Ye Xian turned a page in his hand and continued writing, saying nonchalantly: "As a team leader of a district, you should show some sincerity when you apologize. Are you trying to fool people with just a few melons and dates?"

"correct."

Ji Jue's eyes lit up instantly.

As the saying goes, it is easier to make enemies than to resolve them. More friends mean more paths!
Today's friend fee, I'll accept it for now -

As for, Lihua District is so big, the commercial area is so prosperous, and the business is so booming... After so many years, Team Leader Yu must have made a lot of money, right?

Ji Jue thought for a moment and took out the evil bullet that was already loaded.

It doesn’t matter if the down payment is lower. There will be a big gap when I build my own workshop in the future, so I have to make some compromises.

Thinking of this, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.

It seemed that for a moment, the days of his youth when he was high-spirited and ready to kill an entire family seemed to be one step further away from him. He had learned in the mature and despicable adult world the kindness of taking money to spare lives, the patience of a long-term situation, and the magnanimity of killing an entire family later.

This is probably the price of growing up, right?
"By the way, teacher, can I borrow Ball for a while?"

Ji Jue picked up the box and couldn't wait any longer.

Ye Xian waved her hand, and the ghost ball fell into his arms. She was still concentrating on writing and drawing on the paper, and didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Don't bother me again before we get to the station, it's annoying."

"okay!"

Ji Jue nodded and bowed, picked up Ball and the box, and ran away.

Next, no one made a sound during the quiet driving. After the silent chef served the food, the food gradually became cold. Soon, new hot dishes were served and replaced, round after round.

Next to her hand, the strong tea was at room temperature.

Until she finally finished writing what she was doing, closed the notebook, and looked up.

Outside the window, in the deep night, at the end of the winding mountain road, twinkling stars gradually emerged.

Even further away, there are hallucinatory neon lights and lights.

Just in front of the forward observation station in the cave, in the darkness that should have been empty, there were dazzling and noisy lights flashing, and the city was bustling with traffic.

The curtain of glory covered the dust and dead bones, leaving no ruins or cracks visible.

Decades later, the remaining mirage of the former Spring City reappeared.

Just like the lingering sound of a wail.

From the darkness, eternity echoes.
