Chapter 171 Singing in the Dark

Ai Li's reaction was a bit loud, and Xu Le quickly waved her hand:

"Drive well and don't get excited. If you drive improperly, your loved ones will burst into tears."

Alley frowned and didn't start the car in a hurry.

"So you went out this time to test the equipment you mentioned. Has it been made?"

The corners of Xu Le's mouth twitched. He really liked talking to smart people, but the kind of smart people he liked were definitely not people like Alley who liked to talk and guess, and his guesses were quite accurate.

"Um... the device is still in the testing stage, so we can't yet confirm whether it has any effect."

"Indeed, such a device cannot be used if it is not stable. After all, it is easy for people to become dependent on something like this that can block mental energy.

Once there is equipment dependence and the equipment fails in battle, it is easy to cause huge accidents, such as sudden distortion, or sudden excessive anima, etc."

The car started again, and Alley began to analyze seriously.

It was obvious that she was thinking about the issue from the perspective of a warrior, and the situation she mentioned was indeed worth noting.

Is it possible that the anima masker will fail?

Xu Le thinks there should be. The effect of Guyinduo's leaves on absorbing mental energy will weaken as the leaves wither. It will only be a matter of time before they become ineffective.

The leaves of Guyinduo may wither very slowly, but they will still wither irreversibly.

"Is such that."

Ai Li actually had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to test it, but Xu Le didn't mention it, so she didn't say anything.

The mission area is a plain and hilly area in Area 3. There are some vegetation and trees, but most of it is grassland.

The car stopped in front of a relatively fast river.

After getting out of the car, Xu Ting immediately started preparing wood to cross the river. Xu Le wanted to fly over with a thunderous low-altitude flight, but after taking a look at Alley and Wang Jing's mercenaries, he gave up the idea.

"Forget it, let's swim."

Of course, the fastest people crossing the river were Ai Li and Wang Shu.

As high-level warriors, they could jump across the 10-meter-wide river with a sprint, while Xu Le could only swim wetly.

Crossing the river, you will find an endless grassland area.

The air was very fresh, and there were some animals such as cattle, horses, and sheep on the grassland, as well as some things that Xu Le didn't recognize.

After feeling the breath of the grassland and taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Xu Le asked a somewhat stupid question:

"Why doesn't this kind of wild animal cause weird refreshes? They shouldn't be able to dig into wood to make fire, right?"

This seems to be common sense, but most people have no reasonable explanation.

Xu Le glanced at Wang Shu. Wang Shu moved his mouth, as if he knew, but didn't say anything.

Finally, their leader, the widow Wang Jing, explained:

"According to the research of some warlocks, even if the souls of animals are not strong enough, their anima cannot arouse the gaze of darkness, so it doesn't matter if animals are in the dark."

Dark gaze?

This statement sounds a bit like describing darkness as a creature.

Just like what the puppet said before about destiny.

"With so many animals, there will always be one or two that are mutated, right? What about those with particularly strong souls and hearts?"

"Isn't that the ancient god?" Xu Ting interjected.

"After animals mutate, do they become ancient gods... That seems to be the case. Hey Da Ting, come here."

"what?"

"Take this."

Xu Le handed a psychic shield to Xu Ting, and after briefly telling Xu Ting its effect and how to use it, he began to enjoy Xu Ting's admiring gaze.

It feels good to be admired by others, but people cannot be inflated.

The other Xu Le was originally intended to be given to Wang Shu, but Wang Shu said that his anima power did not fluctuate much, so Xu Le could only be given to Ai Li for testing.

She is very interested in this thing, and Xu Le also knows it very well.

As for those mercenaries Xu Le is really worried.

A group of people hiked on the grass. Except for the strong moisture and the fact that they often stepped on the feces of various animals, their progress was hardly hindered.

By the time we reached 5 pm, the journey time had exceeded 4 hours.

During this period, they actually didn't encounter any monsters...

Under this situation, Xu Le couldn't help but want to divide his troops. He proposed the idea of ​​dividing his troops, but neither Xu Ting nor Wang Jing agreed.

Wang Jing's reason is that she needs to consider the safety of her team members.

Xu Ting felt that the unknown area was not suitable for spreading the group's force until it was fully developed.

“They are all unique ideas for each region!”

Since some people disagreed, Xu Le didn't force it.

Time soon came to night, and Xu Le and the others stopped in a hilly forest.

This forest is not the dense forest in the previous mission, but the kind where you can only see a tree from a few meters away.

The widow and several mercenaries had already begun to set up camp on the spot. Their skills were also skillful, and the bonfire was quickly set up.

Xu Ting eagerly ran to Xu Le:

"Brother Xu Le, the mission was too easy. We didn't even encounter a beast... There's really no way to test the effect of this thing."

Xu Le glanced at the plains and hills and nodded.

"There's really no way to test it."

Without fighting and weirdness, it would be difficult for a warrior like Xu Ting to have strong mental energy fluctuations.

After pondering for a while, Xu Le couldn't think of any good solution.

"There's nothing I can do. Ms. Alley asked me to take on simple tasks before. Now it's very difficult for me to handle this situation."

Xu Le's speech was full of complaints, but Ai Li just frowned and did not refute.

She wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and then take Xu Le to find Zhang Nuoan.

"Only for simple tasks can I guarantee the completion time. Zhang Nuoan has no patience anymore. We must go back in 4 days."

"What is Director Zhang's background? Is he a very big official? You are also an executive officer, right? Why do you listen to him so much?"

When Xu Le asked this question, Ai Li had already stood up with an ugly face. She seemed not to want to say too much about Zhang Nuoan's question.

"I'm going to patrol to see if there are any weird things around. I'll also help you test the telekinesis shielding device."

Looking at her expression, Xu Le knew that Ai Li was most likely a licker, or the kind who couldn't lick her.

Licking a dog will not end well.

"Are you going to test? How to test?"

Under Xu Le's stunned gaze, Alley actually walked directly into the darkness alone.

Xu Ting sat aside and whispered:

"It's so arrogant to go looking for weirdos alone at night. This woman is particularly bad in the workplace. Brother Xu Le, you have to be careful."

Xu Le curled his lips, he had done something similar once before, and that was when he had just successfully cultivated the Elemental Electric Fruit.

Now he has many ways to practice, and the practice of going into the darkness alone to attract monsters is completely unnecessary.

Taking out the dry food and water, Xu Le leaned against the tree and ate.

On a fruitless night, he would most likely have to rely on Mu Yue practice to get through it.

At this time, Wang Jing, the leader of the mercenary group, took off the scarf he always wore, knelt in front of the bonfire, clasped his hands, and muttered something.

"May the light shine upon us, may the fire give us strength, may our courage dispel fear, may we be safe from mosquitoes."

Xu Le originally thought it was just a simple prayer, but after she finished reciting it.

He actually started to use moonstone powder to smear the curse seal formations on the ground. There were four formations in total.

First, a small light group rose up. This light was brighter than the flame. It stood on the treetops nearby, a bit like a hanging night light.

Then a burst of warm heat flowed into his body. Xu Le clenched his fists and felt that he had indeed become stronger. This was probably not an illusion.

The third technique should be courage? Xu Le doesn't have the heart energy to fluctuate, so he doesn't feel it.

The fourth technique is the ability to repel insects? Xu Le only has one word to comment on this technique.

good!

After Wang Jing finished using the four techniques, Xu Le couldn't help but admire:

"Your leader is so awesome."
