Chapter 319: Ye Xiu Might Also Have a Supernatural Item in His Hand

"They're here! Everyone, get ready!"

At that moment, the perception-type night watchman suddenly tensed up and immediately shouted.

In an instant, as the group took defensive positions, Wu Jiang directly gripped the laser gun Lin Meng had given him, his heart pounding violently.

Oh no, he hadn't familiarized himself with this supernatural item beforehand—he didn't know its range or power at all.

But the supernatural item is indeed extremely precious, and Miss Lin said there are only ten shots—use one, lose one.

How could such a precious attack opportunity be wasted on practice?

Never mind—after all, this is a supernatural item with limitless power, a divine weapon born to suppress anomalies.

The stronger an anomaly's talent, the more severely it will be suppressed when encountering a supernatural item.

He had to believe in the power of item AT0068!

Lin Mengye held her breath, staring intently at the exit of the underground ruins below.

At that very moment, a strand of anomalous black mist suddenly surged up from underground, and at the same time, two figures darted out, one after the other.

The black mist obscured vision, but Wu Jiang's perception was decent; he quickly realized there were two figures emerging. One emanated a fierce, sinister aura, giving off a disgustingly sticky feeling that made the soul uneasy upon appearance, and Wu Jiang immediately judged it to be an S-rank anomaly.

But there was another figure whose aura seemed very weak.

But everyone who went in to drive out the anomalies were elites—none of them that weak.

Lin Meng focused her mental power and quickly spotted the two figures; upon seeing the one in front clearly, her pupils constricted instantly.

Good heavens, it's Ye Xiu?!

"Ye Xiu!"

Lin Meng immediately shouted, seeing the snake-headed humanoid anomaly spit out a snake tongue over two meters long, shooting swiftly at Ye Xiu; frightened, she quickly summoned her flying sword and sent it after him.

Ye Xiu was in a miserable state at this moment, covered in wounds, his eyes smeared with bloody red, everything he saw a bloody red.

But just then, his sister's voice suddenly came from his ear.

Ye Xiu jerked his head up, but saw nothing; the threat of death loomed closer behind him, and he could even feel his entire back going numb, his blood nearly freezing.

This feeling of death was completely unlike the sensation he felt when he was maimed in the opera house.

Back then, though he was on the brink of death, he was full of anger and unwillingness.

But now, he only felt his soul trembling—an absolute overwhelming of power, a despair with no chance to fight back.

Then his sister's voice was like a bright lamp in the darkness, causing Ye Xiu, who had been on the verge of despair, to suddenly erupt with a strong will to survive.

His qi and blood surged suddenly, and his body shot forward again in an instant.

Just as the snake tongue was about to strike him, he somehow managed to shake it off and put distance between them.

The black mist dispersed, and the two pursuing figures finally became visible.

The moment Wu Jiang saw Ye Xiu, he immediately cursed.

"You little brat, what are you doing here!?"

In the next breath, the flying sword sliced through the sky, and in an instant it darted to Ye Xiu's feet.

Ye Xiu only felt a foothold beneath his feet, and his whole body was swiftly lifted up into the sky.

Before the flying sword could even hover, Lin Meng appeared before Ye Xiu using the Void-Stepping Step and slapped his forehead.

"You little punk, I also want to ask you—what are you doing here!?"

Ye Xiu winced from the pain, hadn't even reacted yet, when he saw his sister's face appear in his vision.

He instinctively opened his mouth, then immediately embraced Lin Meng.

"Sister, is it really you!?"

Having just survived a disaster, he was actually saved by his sister once again.

Ye Xiu, unable to control himself, hugged Lin Meng; by the time he reacted, his body had gradually stiffened, and he dared not move.

Lin Meng merely thought he was unaccustomed to the high altitude, patted his back as she would a younger brother, then gently pushed him away a bit.

"How dare you say that—it's an S-rank anomaly, how could you dare!?"

Ye Xiu listened to Lin Meng's scolding like a good child, wearing a blissful expression.

He had been saved by his sister once again; although he felt ashamed, he also felt a bit happy.

While the two were talking, the battle below had already unfolded.

After Wu Jiang got over his surprise, he immediately adjusted his stance, aimed at the snake-shaped anomaly, and pulled the trigger.

Wherever the laser gun struck, space tore apart—with a single blast it knocked the S-rank anomaly to the ground.

The strong ones heading to the underground ruins arrived on the ground one after another, surrounding the anomaly in layers.

Strangely, the anomaly just lost all signs of life—it was completely dead!

Lin Meng frowned, studying the scene, and glanced at Ye Xiu out of the corner of her eye.

Looking at his wounds, it seemed he had already engaged in a fierce battle with that anomaly.

The problem is, he actually managed to survive and run out.

With so many masters gathered, confidence in this encirclement was low—yet this kid dared to go solo against an S-rank anomaly?

Feeling his sister's gaze, Ye Xiu dared not conceal anything and quickly whispered:

"Sister, my strength has risen quickly these past few days, and with the Opening Aperture Pill you gave me, I've already reached the Mastery Realm."

"That anomaly's strength is also in the Mastery Realm, its talent equal to mine; I have the firearm you gave me, and I secretly fired two shots at it—it's actually been seriously wounded."

Lin Meng understood upon hearing that.

"You little punk, you do have some skill, but don't make a habit of this—it's too dangerous."

Ye Xiu hurriedly nodded upon hearing that, afraid of upsetting Lin Meng.

"Sister, I'll definitely not be so reckless next time; actually, I only realized the opponent was an S-rank anomaly after exchanging blows."

Lin Meng gave him a speechless look.

「Alright, let's go down together and see if there's a chance for you to devour the energy on the opponent's body. 」

Ye Xiu nodded excitedly upon hearing that; if he could extract energy from the S-rank anomaly's body, he would surely gain many points!

Lin Meng brought Ye Xiu flying down, landing in the crowd.

Ye Xiu only then realized that he had just been standing on a long sword, which was controlled by his sister, and his sister had actually been standing in midair just now!

He suppressed the shock in his heart, and then heard the people surrounding the S-rank anomaly suddenly exclaim in surprise.

「Strange, besides that lethal strike with lightning effects fired by Wu Jiang, this anomaly's body also has two bullet-hole wounds; the residual fire power is enormous, likely also caused by transcendent power! 」

「What? Another transcendent artifact?! 」

Upon hearing that, everyone was greatly startled; after reacting, they all turned their heads to look at Ye Xiu.

Before they engaged it in combat, only Ye Xiu had faced the anomaly.

Ye Xiu, being stared at by everyone, hastily waved his hands and shook his head, looking as if he knew nothing.

「When I was being chased by it, it was already injured. 」

Although the crowd had doubts, seeing Ye Xiu's honest and simple demeanor, they thought he wouldn't dare lie in front of so many experts.

Only Wu Jiang felt suspicious in his heart, always thinking this kid wasn't telling the truth.

He understood Ye Xiu's strength and peculiarity; he could contract ordinary feral beasts for his own use.

But dealing with an S-rank anomaly is like trying to stop a cart with a mantis's arms.

Yet he survived under the S-rank anomaly's pursuit, which is totally unreasonable.

If the mysterious fire-attribute wound on this anomaly's body was made by Ye Xiu, then he must definitely have an attack-type transcendent artifact in his hand!

If that's really the case, then these two siblings are terrifying...
