Chapter 240: Grandfather's Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl Reacts to the Anomaly

Let's leave quickly, the smell of blood will attract anomalies.

Lin Meng said while already pulling Ye Xiu back.

Seeing that small, fair hand tightly gripping his own, feeling the softness and warmth transmitted from the palm, Ye Xiu's heart felt as if it were about to melt.

What should I do? I'm liking and relying on my sister more and more, but she's always appearing and disappearing unpredictably; I can't find her no matter how I try.

After thinking, Ye Xiu gathered his courage and asked:

"Sister, can I leave a way to contact you?" That way, when I miss you, I can get in touch quickly.

Lin Meng kept walking, hearing this she pursed her lips and said:

"Sister temporarily has no contact method; to be frank, I'm an illegal resident. I see that around here, if you want to obtain communication equipment, you all need to provide a Dragon State ID."

Going to the black market could get one, but I currently have no need for it.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu silently thought, 'As expected, sister has no legal identity.' Fortunately he had already thought of it: go to the black market, find someone to operate under the table, and in a few days sister's legal status should come through.

"You don't need to deliberately look for me; as long as I can find you, that's fine. We're quite fated; I'll always appear near you."

After Lin Meng finished speaking, Ye Xiu's expression clearly changed.

Sister said we have fate; thinking about it now, it really is so.

The most fated occasion was probably when I was on the brink of death, right?

If sister hadn't appeared, he would surely die.

The two ran one after the other through the night.

Lin Meng, considering Ye Xiu's speed, deliberately did not use her lightness technique.

Suddenly, Lin Meng and Ye Xiu both abruptly stopped their steps, simultaneously turning vigilant toward the side.

It's an anomaly; this feeling is too obvious—that palpitation, impossible to ignore, is exactly the signal of an anomaly nearby.

"Sister, that anomaly should be at least C-rank or above; its strength probably isn't strong, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed it all at once."

Lin Meng, hearing this, understood; she knows too little about anomalies, but Ye Xiu's perception is keen, and he has already made a preliminary judgment of its strength.

Anomalies also vary in aptitude: "C-rank should be easy to handle; do you want to practice on it?"

After Lin Meng finished speaking, Ye Xiu couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, thinking to himself that sister is indeed formidable; even a D-rank anomaly would be tough to deal with.

Because when humans face anomalies, they instinctively feel fear, causing all attributes to drop.

Especially nocturnal anomalies, whose attributes are enhanced, making them even harder to deal with.

He thought for a moment and said:

"That anomaly seems to be heading in the direction we just left; we can avoid it, so let's just go first."

"My black panther has just been contracted; it can't yet participate in battle, and my own qi and blood haven't increased much, so dealing with a C-rank anomaly would be somewhat strained."

Fighting is naturally possible, and Ye Xiu is confident he can kill it, but it would leave him in a sorry state; he doesn't want to lose face in front of his sister.

Just now he already let his sister see his bloody side; he originally didn't want that.

Lin Meng heard his words, nodded, and didn't press further; after all, she really knows little about this world's power system and anomaly strength.

The first anomaly she killed was probably just an ordinary D-rank, and its attack power wasn't strong either.

C-rank and D-rank likely have an essential difference.

However, Lin Meng soon had another idea.

She lifted her head to look at Ye Xiu, eyes full of anticipation.

"Ye Xiu, do you want a supernatural artifact?"

Ye Xiu thought he had misheard; did sister mean to give him a supernatural artifact?

"I don't want it; sister, you've given me too much already—medicinal pills, beast eggs, even Zhizhi's body is thanks to the pills you fed it. Supernatural artifacts are so precious; you should keep them for yourself, I'm not really interested."

Lin Meng stared at Ye Xiu, knowing he was saying the opposite of what he felt, but also knowing that supernatural artifacts are indeed extremely rare, so his outright refusal is quite normal.

The next second, Lin Meng flipped one hand and pulled a firearm out of her space.

The small, exquisite weapon looked like a top-quality product; its whole body was pitch black, except at the trigger, where a red crystal like a gemstone was inlaid.

Lin Meng didn't immediately hand the firearm to Ye Xiu; instead she held it in her hand and played with it for a moment.

According to Ye Heng's explanation, this weapon has two forms.

She studied it a bit, and indeed it was so.

Only see the small pistol in her hand suddenly transform into a short blade.

The dagger is half an arm long; its handle is plain and unremarkable, but the blade is completely wrapped in rolling flames, and upon close look one can see what seems to be molten magma flowing within the fire, quite extraordinary.

At the moment the weapon appeared, Ye Xiu stared wide-eyed in shock.

And when the pistol changed into short-blade form, his breath caught, and his heart was already overturned by tumultuous waves.

Truly a supernatural artifact, and it can even change form,

Judging by the blade, this supernatural artifact is formidable; at least, after just glancing at it, he clearly sensed a threat of death.

"Sister, this weapon is delicate and exquisite; it suits you very well."

Upon hearing this, Lin Meng immediately shoved the weapon into Ye Xiu's embrace and said:

"Go, turn back, and find that anomaly to test its power for me."

Ye Xiu nodded; to test the weapon's lethality for his sister, he naturally gladly obliged.

Soon, the two returned to the gas station, and indeed saw the anomaly prowling nearby.

The smell of blood had lured it over, but seeing no living creature, it was now bewildered.

Lin Meng, aided by moonlight, made out the anomaly's appearance: a humanoid with a green face and fangs, limbs slender, its body riddled with holes of various sizes, extremely disgusting.

Just then, the anomaly turned its head; Lin Meng saw its face clearly and immediately grimaced.

Only see the anomaly's face bearing six eyes, its ferocious big mouth containing four rows of saw-toothed sharp teeth.

Good grief, compared to the anomaly she previously killed, this one truly looks like an anomaly; it's genuinely terrifying, and anyone with poor mental fortitude would already have screamed.

"Sister, do you want to snipe it from a distance, or should I kill it with a fire blade?"

Lin Meng thought for a moment and said:

"Just shoot it directly; that anomaly seems very agile, close combat is too dangerous."

Ye Xiu nodded, immediately raised his firearm and aimed at the anomaly.

At that very moment, the six-eyed anomaly finally sensed their presence, opened its huge mouth and lunged at them.

Ye Xiu pulled the trigger, and in an instant fired a fireball that instantly hit the anomaly's brow.

The anomaly was blown apart at the head, collapsed without a struggle, and was completely killed.

Ye Xiu's hand gripping the firearm tightened slightly, his breathing ragged.

The destructive power of this supernatural item is surprisingly strong!

The two exchanged a glance, then cautiously stepped out from the shadows.

"Sister, this firearm's power is enormous; a single shot can kill a C-rank talent anomaly."

Lin Meng: "How strong is it?"

Ye Xiu estimated for a moment then said: "It should have elite-level strength."

After saying that, Ye Xiu looked grave; fortunately, when he arrived he hadn't faced this kind of anomaly head-on, as an elite-level anomaly is far beyond what he can currently handle.

For a moment, Ye Xiu's admiration for Lin Meng deepened.

"Sister, you're amazing; a casual move from you is a supernatural item capable of instantly killing an elite-level anomaly."

Lin Meng nodded, was about to speak, when suddenly she felt a heat in her chest.

Her heart jolted, she reached out and grasped her grandfather's Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl.

"Everything his grandfather gave him is definitely not junk; is this a reaction to the anomaly?"
