Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 634: Ten Styles

Alan's consciousness seemed to float from the deepest water to the surface, and when he emerged from the water, he woke up. Opening his eyes, the cave in his line of sight appeared in the slightest. Even the veins of every leaf on the fern bush not far away could be clearly seen. After a while, the light in the cave gradually dimmed down. In the darkness, Ellen's eyes were as bright as two burning flames.

It had been almost two days since she had bumped into Catherine, and it seemed that that super flame attack had caused her quite a bit of trouble at that time. For the past 24 hours, Ellen had fantasized that Catherine would be buried in the pillar of flames that burned the heavens and boiled the sea. But very quickly, he dispelled this almost illusory fantasy. If Catherine had been so easy to kill, she wouldn't have lived to this point. Alan was sure that she was still alive and actively searching for him.

However, she would never have imagined that Alan would hide himself in a lair where the hidden monsters had stayed. There was a strong smell of the hidden monster inside, and it was enough to erase Allen's aura. Moreover, the hiding monster's nest was definitely not neat and tidy. Not far away, there were piles of their excrement, and there were even rotting corpses left behind. This made the nest stink. Alan believed that no matter how cold Catherine was, a girl would not be willing to go to such a place.

It turned out that he was right. During these two days, Alan went into a deep hibernation-like sleep. In order to recover his stamina and injuries, he woke up and his injuries had healed by seventy-seven to eighty-eight percent. Those serious wounds had already formed scar, and his physical strength had already recovered to its peak state. The Origin Energy in his body was even more overflowing. Alan discovered that they had already touched the second level of Origin Energy Confinement, which meant that his current Origin Energy was sufficient to advance to Level 20.

Unfortunately, the existence of the screen had prevented him from taking this step.

Once he woke up, even Alan couldn't stand the stench of the lurking monster's nest, which made him feel buried in a pile of feces. This was not a pleasant feeling. He packed his equipment and left the nest quietly. The owner of this nest will return at the end of two days, so he should have gone hunting. Alan found another hiding place nearby and used a few ferns to block him.

He needed a relatively quiet way of organizing his space.

The scene of the battle with Catherine that day was replayed in his mind. The discovery that the Fire Shadow Legion was able to unleash the abilities he had mastered was even more important. That meant that Allen's tactics would become more complicated, and the combinations of battles would have more choices. If the abilities of the Fire Shadow Legion were to advance even further, wouldn't it be even more powerful if each Fire Shadow could unleash a separate ability?

Alan quickly laughed off this idea. He was already quite surprised that the Fire Shadow could release its power. But at the end of the day, the Fire Shadow Legion itself did not possess intelligence. Their different artificial intelligence machines required Alan to use his consciousness to enter, command, and control them. Ellen didn't feel like he could split his mind, because he had to be schizophrenic.

Apart from the new role of the Fire Shadow Legion, there was nothing else that had the deepest impact on Allen than the saber moves that he had refined from a hundred bloody battles. At that time, Alan casually wielded his saber and felt incomparably carefree. But now that he recalled it, he could only remember one or two moves. He simply closed his eyes and continuously reviewed the two saber moves in his mind, consolidating them, and finally transforming them into his own battle technique.

These two styles were one full of rage, the other an iron wall. One attack and one defense could be used in most battles. They could be used individually according to the situation, or they could be combined into a skill that combined offense and defense. Allen had triggered the Blood Lion General's spiritual imprint from his bloodlust that day, and he had learned to fight a hundred bloody blows. He could already vaguely feel that using these hundred strikes to kill enemies on the battlefield was extremely tyrannical, but in the end, it was too tedious. If he could remove the dregs and store the essence, it would be much more powerful if he could simplify it into ten moves.

However, it was limited by Allen's own experience and his understanding of combat techniques. Although he had ideas, he was unable to put them into action. Until today, under Katherine's unprecedented pressure, he had reduced some of his moves into two. Over time, as his experience deepened, it was not impossible for him to completely refine the Blood Battle Ten Styles.

But that was after getting rid of Catherine.

Alan frowned at the thought of Catherine. This girl was like an inextricable knot. Alan didn't know what to do to stop her.

Suddenly, a breeze blew from behind.

Allen snorted coldly, his right hand stretched out with lightning and used his thumb and index finger to clasp onto an underground monster snake. This thing was planning to sneak attack Alan just now, but even though Alan didn't see it with his eyes, his Origin Energy spread all around, forming an all-round three-dimensional perceptual network. How could a mere monster snake avoid his eyes and ears?

As soon as the monster snake was caught by him, it wrapped itself around Alan's arm. Alan felt a burst of pressure as the snake's body shrank. He pulled out his dagger and cleanly lifted the meat pouch on the monster snake's head. It was one of the fatal parts of the underground monster snake. The snake-like organ was sent flying, and the monster snake immediately contracted and released all of its strength. Alan tore open its body and took out the water bag. After two days of resting, he was thirsty, and this strange snake came to him. Alan impolitely drank all the water in his water bag, but at this moment, a strange hand suddenly poked out of the fern bush in front of him!

The long arm went straight to Alan's chest and Alan threw the snake corpse. The dark clawed hand suddenly retracted its grip on the snake corpse. Alan took the opportunity to roll out of the ferns and found that four hidden monsters were already standing in front of him. Their scarlet eyes also flashed with astonishment. Obviously, they did not expect to bump into humans here.

The wind suddenly moved, and two more hidden monsters descended from the top of the cave. Several pairs of eyes that emitted a strange red light stared at Alan. Alan frowned slightly. There were a lot of hidden monsters. These things were the rulers of the underground world. However, what he had seen and heard over the past few days had allowed Alan to discover that the hidden monsters weren't social creatures. Within a limited range, there would be at most two or three hidden monsters. For example, doubling the number of hidden monsters now seemed a bit abnormal. josei

Not only that, the deeper he went underground, Alan discovered that these underground creatures appeared more and more frequently, and they were constantly heading deeper into the cave, as if they were rushing to attend some sort of gathering.

If there's a gathering of underground creatures.

However, he didn't have the time to think about this right now. The few hidden monsters in front of him clearly showed a strong interest in him. These intelligent humanoid monsters began to disperse. Some of them even climbed up to the top of the cave and climbed onto the gray stalagmites. The hidden monsters almost merged with the stalagmites. If they were motionless, it would be difficult to distinguish them from the rocks.

Alan raised Xue Yin and stared coldly at the monsters. There was practically no room for buffer between the two sides, and the first hidden monster rushed forward. The lurking monster moved, and the four or five monsters behind it also moved at the same time. They stretched out a net to slaughter Allen's prey on the spot.

Unfortunately, Allen was no ordinary prey. With him as the center, he could clearly grasp the location of these monsters, as well as the time and angle of their arrival. All the information flowed through his mind like flowing water, and without any extra thought, blood sprang up in Allen's hands. The heavy saber suddenly became as light as a feather, as if it had no weight, interweaving a tight saber shadow in front of Allen.

The saber shadow was like a wall, and Yan Si was tightly sewn, making it impossible for anyone to find the slightest gap in their attacks. If it was a human expert like Catherine, they would definitely choose to retreat and redrum their fighter jets. However, even though the Lurking Monster's intelligence was high, it was still a wild beast. Facing the iron wall saber shadow, not only did he not retreat, he instead opened his mouth and shrieked, releasing high-frequency sonic booms towards Alan. The barrier formed by the Origin Energy Saber Shadow was constantly twisted and distorted, unable to break through. An ambush monster unwillingly reached out to catch it. Its sharp claws dug into the iron-walled saber shadow, creating a flurry of sparks. At the same time, its palm was cut open, causing it to scream in pain as it flew backwards.

Alan sneered. The shadow on the wall in front of him retracted, and a few streaks of red lightning exploded in his arms. It was like a blossoming flower that instantly shot out lightning. The saber enveloped all the hidden monsters. Under the flickering red lightning saber light, the hidden monsters squeaked. Ignoring the need to kill Alan, they all retreated. As soon as the red lightning dissipated, Alan pointed his saber at the monsters and looked at them calmly.

The lurking monsters that were retreating, whether on the ground or at the top of the cave, were all stunned. Following that, they all fell to the ground, and a thin wound quietly appeared behind their chests. Suddenly, the wound widened to both sides, revealing a fist-like gap. The hot blood in his body shot out like a fountain. If their bodies were dissected, they would discover that the organs inside the hidden monster's body had been blown into powder.

Alan held the blood in his hand and remained motionless. In his mind, he played back every detail of what he had just used to "blossom" and corrected it. In this way, the next time he used it, it would definitely be even more powerful. Suddenly, he sighed, "When did the general come?"

"Just now, when you brought down these monsters," Catherine walked out of the shadow of a stone pillar.

"Then I'm really surprised that the general has let go of such a good opportunity." Alan raised his head and smiled. Just now, when he used his killing move, his mind was focused on the hidden monster. If Catherine took advantage of this opportunity to attack, even if she could not kill him, he would definitely be overwhelmed. At that time, Catherine would naturally have the upper hand. With the strength of the Federation Major General, once she had the upper hand, it would be difficult for her to regain her disadvantage.

But Catherine let go of this great opportunity.

Catherine turned around and faced Ellen, "There are plenty of opportunities. There's nothing to be regretful about letting go of one or two of them."

Alan nodded and said, "If I told you that the King Snake Blood might not be as powerful as you think, would the general believe it?"

"Are you begging for mercy?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth." Alan tried to resolve the deadlock between the two of them. "It's very simple to prove what I said. As long as the general gives you and me a chance, I can provide some blood for you to study. At that time, you will discover that the King Serpent Blood is not that miraculous," he said.

Catherine's eyes changed slightly, and something else seemed to flash past her deep gaze. Alan thought hard and suddenly understood that it was fear.

Why would Catherine feel fear?
