401: Crisis is approaching
Can this thing deal with these bizarre tentacles?
Andre seemed to understand something. It appeared that the Yaochi Wonderland still harbored unknown secrets.
With the immediate crisis resolved, Andre calmed his mind and pursued Si Xiaonan in the direction she retreated.
...
After Leng Xuan took An Qingyu away, he quickly hid among the mountains.
As an excellent sniper, camouflage was a mandatory skill for them.
At this moment, An Qingyu and Leng Xuan were hidden in a mountain hollow, temporarily catching their breath.
A trace of pain appeared on Leng Xuan's face, an anomaly that, of course, did not escape An Qingyu's eyes.
Logically speaking, taking himself to flee shouldn't consume too much Mental Energy. Leng Xuan was now also a master of the Klein Realm. In any case, this situation shouldn't occur.
An Qingyu thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, are you injured?"
As Lin Qi Ye's current teammate, it was not an overstatement for An Qingyu to call Leng Xuan "Senior."
After speaking, An Qingyu inadvertently glanced at the other's arm.
Leng Xuan's arm was also covered in bandages.
Leng Xuan's expression changed slightly. As a sniper, his perception of the outside world was very sensitive.
Just now, although An Qingyu had only inadvertently glanced at his arm, Leng Xuan had a strange feeling, as if An Qingyu had noticed the abnormality of his arm much earlier.
However, he didn't think much of it. It was impossible for others to know about being infected by an unknown power.
"I sustained some injuries while walking in the mist earlier," Leng Xuan explained simply.
An Qingyu nodded, not pressing the topic further.
"By the way, Senior, how did you end up on Mount Kunlun?" An Qingyu asked.
"We received orders from Loki. He told Si Xiaonan and me to lurk in Great Xia as hidden agents to gather intelligence."
After speaking, a hint of confusion appeared on Leng Xuan's face. "But what's strange is that after He gave this order, He never contacted Si Xiaonan or me again.
According to previous habits, He would inquire about once a week. If Si Xiaonan couldn't still sense the power of the Law of Mischief, we would even suspect that He had died."
"Even Deities have learned to disappear?" An Qingyu said. "Could it be related to Michael's descent to Earth earlier?"
Michael's descent to Earth caused too much commotion. As the core force of the Night Watcher, the Reserve Squad also knew about this matter.
"I'm not sure, maybe it's related. But it's also a good thing that we've lost contact. At least Si Xiaonan and my actions won't be too restricted.
That's also why we are here. After entering Great Xia, Si Xiaonan and I have been following you," Leng Xuan said.
"I see." An Qingyu nodded.
Just then, a figure suddenly walked into the mountain hollow from outside.
"Si Xiaonan!" Leng Xuan stood up, a worried expression on his face.
Leng Xuan had sensed the power of Cthulhu becoming active earlier, but when he took action himself, he did not trigger the power of Cthulhu.
Then there was only one truth: Si Xiaonan must have triggered Cthulhu during her fight with Andre.
"Are you alright? What happened just now?" Leng Xuan quickly walked to Si Xiaonan's side and supported her body.
Hearing Leng Xuan's question, Si Xiaonan instantly understood that An Qingyu was still present, and she absolutely could not mention anything about her physical mutation.
"Andre received Gaia's blessing. His current strength is far superior to mine. I could only create some tricks to delay him.
However, with his abilities, my methods won't be able to trap him. Perhaps Andre is already on his way to pursue us," Si Xiaonan's breathing was a little rapid, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Andre, imbued with Divine Power, truly could no longer be viewed with ordinary eyes. Just like Lin Qi Ye before, who erupted with astonishing combat power after being imbued with a Deity's power, Andre's current situation was the same.
If Leng Xuan and I had no abnormalities, it wouldn't be impossible to defeat Andre.
But now...
Leng Xuan and Si Xiaonan could simultaneously sense that strange power, which was eroding their Mental Energy and interfering with their consciousness.
If they were to engage in battle, neither of them would have enough energy to suppress this power. It was truly hard to say what would happen then.
An Qingyu looked at Si Xiaonan. He noticed that both of their arms were covered in bandages.
In his left eye, a silver light flickered for a moment. Soon, that silver light was covered by a complex emotion.
Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan were preoccupied with the Andre situation and did not notice An Qingyu's abnormality.
"It seems we need to think of a..."
Si Xiaonan's words were cut short when the mountain hollow suddenly shook violently.
Rocks tumbled down from the slopes on both sides, one after another. What was even more terrifying was that an unfathomably deep gully appeared directly in the mountain hollow.
The gully grew wider and wider, directly separating An Qingyu from the two.
"When did Loki's agent become a coward who only knows how to run?"
Andre's voice came from within the gully. Immediately after, a hundred-meter-tall rock giant crawled out from the depths of the gully.
Andre stood on the giant's shoulder, looking down at Si Xiaonan.
Now, the only one who could pose a threat to him was the God of Mischief's agent.
The strange power on her seemed to be harmful to herself as well.
Andre had speculated on his way to pursue them: if that power could be skillfully used by Si Xiaonan, why would she still need to run away?
Now, seeing the painful expression on Si Xiaonan's face, he was even more certain of his guess.
"Andre, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the Great Xia Gods and the Night Watcher by acting so high-profile?" Si Xiaonan asked.
"Heh heh, what am I afraid of? The Great Xia Gods will soon be too busy to care. Let me tell you, the holy war is about to begin." The arrogance in Andre's eyes was undisguised.
"You're actually going to war with Great Xia?" Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan were stunned. They hadn't expected the Deities of Olympus to be so aggressive.
"What you should be more worried about now is yourselves!"
The rock giant suddenly leaped, charging directly towards Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan.
Leng Xuan raised his hand and fired a shot. A bullet, like a fiery snake, spewed out from the sniper rifle.
Bang!
The rock giant's head was directly shattered into pieces, but losing its head did not stop the rock giant's movement.
"His vital point is not in his head, but in the energy crystal inside his chest!" An Qingyu's voice suddenly came from the other side of the gully.
Andre's eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems I'll have to deal with you first!"
