Chapter 20: Long time no see(1/3)
Northern Continent·White Swamp, central area.
On this perch of towering rocks, golden sunlight scattered, and Anderson was bathed in the sunlight. His tall figure was in a posture of embracing the sun.
Behind Anderson is a mushroom man with the same movements. Their expressions are filled with joy. They are obviously not forced to believe in the sun. As extraordinary fungal creatures, their adaptability to the power of the sun is even greater than that of mammals.
.
Praising the Queen of the Sun at this time, the mushroom people were ecstatic.
It can be seen from many places that it is not easy for mushroom people to survive on this continent. In order to pursue combat power, the elite individuals among them have developed into "one-punch super mushrooms". It seems that they can solve everything with one punch. In fact, this
It was a sign of being unfit for fighting. He was knocked out with one punch, died on the spot and was stewed into mushroom soup.
At this moment, the mushroom people have a backer. Although the queen has passed away, Anderson's strength is not weaker than the queen. What's more, after believing in the sun, the mushroom people can obtain the power of the sun. It won't take long, and they will also be a force that cannot be underestimated.
The power of contemplation.
Compared to the joyful and contented mushroom people, among the crowd of people praising the sun, there are two people who are not so willing. They have handsome looks and are born with eye shadow. These two people are ghosts.
There are two ghost tribesmen, one male and one female. The older male ghost tribe is a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. Next to him is his sister, who is about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The brother and sister of the ghost race also maintained their posture of embracing the sun. Even so, the brother's face was full of dissatisfaction. Even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he was still dissatisfied. His sister was not physically corrected, but she was still scared to tears? Maintain
Embrace the sun pose.
This pair of siblings? The elder brother's name is Per Paislow, and the younger sister's name is Per Mia.
The ghost boy Pesluo was filled with anger. He and his sister set out from the "Dungeon Qiuli" in the cold cemetery this time. They went through a lot of hardships along the way and took countless detours to avoid the poisonous miasma. It took more than two months of walking to get there.
Here, according to the plan? If we don't die on the road, we can reach the innermost side of the black forest in three months, which is the entrance to the big tree cave.
Pesluo and Mia are not ordinary ghosts, they are a faction close to the queen, and they are the candidates for this generation's "successor".
According to the rules of the elders in the family, if Paislo and Mia want to officially become "heirs", they need to complete a pilgrimage first, that is, starting from the cold cemetery to the queen's chamber located at the bottom of the big tree hole.
Peslow didn't know the specific reason for the pilgrimage, but the two brothers and sisters were very willing to make the pilgrimage. They started from the beginning. They were the queen's little fanboy and little fangirl. They couldn't figure it out. Why didn't the queen return to the ghost clan?
Thinking that he had already walked a third of the pilgrimage and was caught? What kind of sun are he praising here? Peslow felt extremely angry.
A boy of this age is in the rebellious stage? He is the eldest, the second son of Heaven, and the third son of Earth. There is no special reason why Paisluo is willing to praise the sun here. The main reason is that the burly priest is very scary. At first
He was very kind to the brothers and sisters, but after hearing that they were going on a pilgrimage and the implications of the pilgrimage, he immediately detained them.
Of course Peslow was not convinced. As the strongest of the new generation of the ghost clan, how could he tolerate such a thing? He immediately took up his stance and wanted to challenge Anderson to a duel.
As a result, he jumped up and punched Anderson in the chest with all his strength, causing a bone fracture in his right arm. If it weren't for the wooden clamps tied to it, it would be difficult to praise the sun.
What really made Peslow angry was not the fracture in his right arm, but what the other party said: 'My hand hurts from being hit.'
Hearing these words, Peslow's self-esteem suffered a real critical blow. With his blood boiling, he drew out his dagger, avoided the vital point, and stabbed Anderson in the lower abdomen.
This made Anderson's expression change. After ignoring the stab, he tied up Peslow amid his angry shouts, and then asked him: "Child, are you going to kill me."
Peslow, who had lost his mind, shouted yes. After hearing this, Anderson's eyes changed for a moment, just for a moment. Peslow seemed to see an executioner covered in black smoke standing behind him, and he was
Tied to a stake, waiting to be beheaded by the executioner.
When Peslow came to his senses, he had already wet a large area of his pants, which made him almost die of social embarrassment.
It seems that he noticed that there were more good things than bad in Peslow's character. Even if he was angry, he did not aim the dagger at the head or chest, but stabbed the abdomen and thighs, which were less fatal. At that time, Anderson said to Peslow kindly: "
My child, there is evil in your heart, but don't be afraid, the sun will purify the evil in your heart."
After that, Paislo and his sister were brought here to praise the sun. He didn't want to. He really had no choice. He saw with his own eyes that the terrifying clergy slapped the mouth of death.
, that is, an extraordinary giant crocodile, drawn into a top that spins rapidly on the spot.
Under the 'influence' of that terrifying cleric, Death Mouth, who was almost slapped to death, stood up with the power of his tail and praised the sun with his two stubby crocodile front paws. Paisloe on the side saw it with his own eyes.
, that mouth of death actually cried, it actually cried in grievance.
The scattered golden light particles stopped, and Anderson, who was standing at the front, lowered his arms, and the mushroom people in the back reluctantly dispersed. After a long time, only Anderson and the two ghost brothers and sisters were left around.
"Child, do you feel the sun?"
Anderson spoke, and Mia, the ghost girl opposite him, nodded repeatedly. Pesluo, who was beside him, tilted his head and seemed to snort coldly.
"Pesro, there is evil in your heart."
"There is no evil in my heart!"
"If I say there is, there must be."
Anderson's tone was still kind, and he picked up a wooden stick.
Seeing this scene, Peslow remembered his previous experience of being hung up and spanked because of something, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Where is the evidence? You said there is evil in my heart, where is the evidence?"
"This is the proof."
Anderson raised the hand holding the wooden stick. Seeing this, Peslow took half a step back. This 'evidence' was too strong, and he didn't dare to refute it. He said loudly and sternly:
"You are asking me to surrender. My soul will not surrender. And there are many people who are more evil than me. They commit crimes, kill people, and rob other people's food."
"Oh? Are there such people?" Anderson's interest was aroused, and he asked: "Where are they?"
"They are all in "Dungeon Qiuli", you go find them."
Peslow was ecstatic in his heart. He felt that he was too smart. Since he couldn't defeat him, he just diverted him away. This was called outsmarting him.
In Peslow's view, Anderson is indeed powerful, but there are more than 300,000 ghosts living in "Dungeon Qiuli", so how can he be afraid of just one person?
If the senior leaders of the ghost clan in "Dungeon Qiuli" knew what Peslow was thinking, they would definitely beat him to death.
"More people with evil hearts, um, leading the way."
"well?"
Peslow was stunned on the spot. He had gone through a lot of hard work and marched for more than two months to get here. This guy named Anderson actually asked him to go back?
Peslow calmed down and explained: "The journey back to the Cold Cemetery is long. It will take at least two months to arrive. My sister and I have to go on a pilgrimage..."
"Two months?" Anderson shook his head and said, "One day should be enough for this journey."
"How can it be possible in one day? There are poisonous miasma along the way, and there are all kinds of..."
Before the ghost boy Peslow finished speaking, Anderson had already stood up, holding an execution ax that came from nowhere in his hand. He was seen bending down, the clergy clothes on his body were tightened by muscles, and in his hand
The execution ax is hanging down, this is to accumulate strength and strike forward with the axe.
Rumble.
As soon as the momentum rose, the ground began to vibrate slightly. The surrounding gravel and dead grass floated on their own, and Anderson struck out with an axe.
Boom!!
After the ear-piercing roar, Paislo and Mia supported each other, and after overcoming the confusion of being stunned, the brother and sister looked towards the source of the sound.
A black mark with a height of a hundred meters and a width of more than ten meters appeared in front. Inside, the color of the world became dark. This was a different space split open with brute force.
Witnessing this scene, Paislo and Mia's mouths were slightly open in shock, and they were both stunned.
"Compared to Bai Ye, Baha and the others, my method of opening the different space is much rougher, but I can still open it. I didn't expect that the coordinates they left would be used so quickly. Let's set off."
Anderson weighed the execution ax in his hand. He hadn't used it for a long time, so his technique was very unfamiliar, and the cuts he made in different spaces were uneven.
Paisluo and Mia stood motionless, their little faces turned pale with fear. As the strongest among the new generation of ghosts, they looked weak, pitiful, and helpless at this moment.
…
Southern Continent·Hot Jungle.
The heat and humidity create a unique scene in the thermal jungle. When traveling here, you must not only be careful of poisonous insects and leeches, but also avoid those water vapor masses that slowly float up in the sky.
Some of these water vapor masses are as big as basketballs, and some are as big as marbles. The danger with them is that you have no idea how many microscopic parasites are inside them.
These parasites, which are as small as the cell level, only need to touch the surface of an organism to invade cells and cause cell hydration.
Sometimes when walking in the hot jungle, I find that my arm is hydrated to the point of being translucent. If I am decisive enough, I can cut off this arm immediately. Maybe I can still live. Once "cell hydration" occurs in the head, trunk, etc.
, will undoubtedly die.
Of course, this also depends on the person. Su Xiao looked at Si Yas who was walking in front to open the way. The other person had already cut off 19 arms, 8 legs, and 6 heads.
Siniyasi's method of dealing with "cell hydration" is simple and crude. Wherever there is a problem, cut it off and let a new one grow.
Su Xiao had been deep into the hot jungle for a few hours, and the journey was relatively smooth, with no enemy attacks. Apart from guarding against water and air masses that could be blown by the wind, there were no major problems in other aspects.
Su Xiao had expected that the journey went so smoothly. More than a thousand participants entered this world. Except for those violators who had other agendas, there were still many remaining participants.
There are not many exploration paths to choose from at the beginning, either going north or going south. Compared with the cold cemetery that you enter first when going north, the hot jungle you enter when going south is a low-threshold area. The cold cemetery is a test of the soul's strength.
This also resulted in many participants entering the thermal jungle to explore in the past. Wherever the contractors went, not only was there no grass growing, but all kinds of wild monsters that could be rewarded for killing would be completely wiped out.
Contractors are the most patient group of people. As long as there is a reward for killing, even if the wild monsters get together, they will find ways to gradually distract them and eat away at them bit by bit. The reward for killing = resources = improvement of their own strength. No one will refuse.
Tempting.
Su Xiao estimated that the first half of the thermal jungle should be almost completely cleared, and the second half of the journey would most likely not be difficult.
Walking on the path eroded by Sias' breath ahead, Su Xiao took out a small soul crystal, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, like eating jelly beans.
A slight explosion came from behind. Hearing the sound, Su Xiao paused. On the way here, he had arranged tiger bees. From the sound of the explosion, it was probably caused by tiger bees.
