Chapter 264: Farewell to the Dead Bird
The question in his heart, although he couldn't get an answer for a while, Zhongli was faintly aware of it, this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, the elf clan, the golden bloodline, and the internal struggle of Atlantis had too many unknown secrets, and even involved the gods of other races.
This is an extremely bad signal, but Zhongli didn't dig too deep, because at this moment, it doesn't make much sense to delve into these things, whether it's a conspiracy to usurp the throne or internal degeneration, it doesn't matter until now, what matters is strength, as long as the strength is enough, then these so-called mysteries and secrets will be solved and the final truth will be torn out.
With this in mind, Zhongli put the doubts in his heart behind him for the time being, stabilized the steel cable connected to the dragon king whale with one hand, and wrapped the body of Mary Rose with the other, so as not to throw the two away from the pressure impact caused by the high-speed running.
"Aang!"
Look at the dragon king whale again, after the appearance of that strange god evil force, it didn't even care about the injury, the three hearts in the body that were still intact were beating extremely fast, and the powerful power burst out all over the body, squeezing the life potential in exchange for the terrifying increase in speed, in an instant, the huge body broke through a white line in the deep sea, and the fish that couldn't dodge along the way were directly smashed into a cloud of blood mist, and there was no chance of surviving.
Although he is now strong in the flesh, and he has the ability to control water obtained from eating the flesh and blood of foreign beasts, it is not a problem to resist the water pressure in the deep sea, but the outbreak of the dragon king whale, the amount of water pressure under the speed bonus is multiplied, and the burden brought by it is a little heavy.
"Hmm!"
Perhaps sensing something, Mary Rose, who was shrunk in his arms, suddenly moved, and the hands that were originally held at his waist moved to his shoulders little by little, and then, the petite body resisted the pressure and climbed in front of him, facing him head-on.
Only then did Zhong Li realize that Mary Rose was different from herself, under the squeeze and impact of the deep sea current, her facial features were constantly changing, as if various emojis were being staged in turn, how funny and funny it was, and not only did she not change her appearance, but even the gothic dark style maid costume on her body remained the same, as if the sea water could not affect her at all.
In this regard, Zhongli is not surprised, Atlantis is an underwater civilization, and the royal family with golden blood is the elven life bred by the ocean, the sea is like an extension of their body for them, or they themselves are part of the sea, and the ability to control water is much stronger than his halfway monk, and it is of course that they are not affected.
It's just that...... What did she climb up for?
Looking at the delicate face close at hand in front of him, Zhong was full of puzzlement, and instinctively wanted to ask, but before he could speak, the sea water poured in first.
"Gollum!"
At the entrance of the seawater, Zhongli was choking tightly, but the person in front of him suddenly came up and kissed his lips softly, and the pressure of the people was reduced, and he instantly relaxed a lot.
“......”
Such a move made Zhongli also stunned, looking at Mary Rose, Mary Rose also looked at him, her expression was unexpectedly calm, or it should have been calm, for her, this was just to help save Ino, not mixed with anything else, and her eyes were pure.
Her expression remained unchanged, but Zhongli felt a little uncomfortable, not that he thought about anything, but that the two of them acted like this, she kept staring, and it was difficult for her to close her eyes or turn her gaze away, and she always felt a little weird and embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Zhongli was a little glad that he didn't cut the live broadcast screen, otherwise, the ghost would know what the consequences would be.
"Aang!"
At the moment when Zhongli was distracted, the Dragon King Whale roared again, which was even more poignant than before, but the speed did not slow down, but increased by a few points, and a large amount of blood rushed out from the wound penetrated by the Xi Ling Halberd with the overload of the body, and a large stream of blood was sprinkled along the way.
However, it ignored it, pulled Zhongli and the two of them, and ran straight ahead, trying to complete its mission before the life force in its body was exhausted.
In this regard, Zhongli had no choice but to hold on to the steel cable and follow behind it.
......
"What about people?"
"It's not really gone, is it?"
"Black technology, cut the camera over!"
"Anchor, you must not have an accident, I am still waiting for the apprentice!"
"Didn't you say that someone had been sent to search and rescue, why hasn't there been any news for so long, it's really urgent!"
In the live broadcast room, the audience who had been waiting for several hours still had no news about Zhongli, and their hearts had begun to sink to the bottom under worry and anxiety.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the screen switches, the surging waves crash and shatter on the reef, and a beach shrouded in mist appears in front of everyone.
It seemed to be a small island, and because of the thick fog, everyone could not see the whole picture, and the sight was quite clear, except for a reef-strewn beach, with an endless sea at one end and a path leading to nowhere at the other, also hidden by the fog.
In this way, as far as the eye can see, the whole beach, except for the mud and sand and bare bluestones, there is no other, no animals, the only sound is the sound of the waves, in the silence and desolation, there is an indescribable strangeness.
On this beach, the carcass of a giant whale rests up, hundreds of meters long, occupying most of the beach, not what the dragon king whale is.
The dragon whale seemed to have been dead for some time, and the blood accumulated under the corpse had begun to clot, and the main cause of its death was a huge wound that pierced through the center of its abdomen, opening a flesh passage for the two of them to enter and exit side by side.
"This ......"
"What's the situation?"
"Are you alright?"
"It really killed the whale!"
"But where have the people gone, and what is this place?"
The screen switched, returned to the live broadcast, and everyone who had been waiting for several hours had no time to be surprised, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, and looked for Zhongli with a blank expression, but he was never seen.
"Whoa!"
It wasn't until there was a sound of water that the camera turned and everyone saw that the two emerged from the water and landed on the beach.
"it!"
"Is it really okay?"
"Big brother, you're still not human, so it's okay?"
"Why does the blonde girl look like she doesn't even get her clothes wet?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the Ikezawa Maru matter had been in the news, I would never have believed it. ”
Looking at Zhongli and Mary Rose who walked on the beach, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't stop being shocked, because the state of the two was so good, it was so good that it was a little abnormal, Zhongli almost didn't see any harm except for the broken top, and Mary Rose was even more exaggerated, not even the corners of her clothes were wet, if it wasn't for what she said with her own eyes, everyone really couldn't believe that the two had just come out of the sea.
Everyone was surprised, but Zhongli didn't explain, and came to the corpse of the dragon king whale with Mary Rose, looking at the huge wound that pierced from the abdomen, and frowned slightly.
Previously, under the influence of the evil power of the gods, the dragon king whale fell into a state of crazy riot, rushed in the sea for several hours, came to this island, and when approaching the island, a flick of the tail broke several steel cables connected to the Xi Ling halberd, as for Zhongli, the two were left alone and could not go to the island together.
Now, it was hard to catch up, but I encountered such a situation, the dragon king whale died, the tide halberd and Eno disappeared, and all clues were interrupted.
If it was an ordinary person, in the face of such a situation, he could only explore around and find answers, but Zhongli didn't need to be so troublesome, after making sure that Ino was not in the belly of this dragon king whale, he launched the spatial scan of the brain of Zhi.
"At the beginning of the scan, a serious negative energy coverage was detected, and the xenomorph divine power of the alien god was suspected, the scanning consumption was increased, and the scanning range was reduced!"
"Warning, warning, this area is shrouded in a large number of evil gods, and the space scan needs to consume a large number of divine martial arts, do you want to continue to execute it?"
"The execution fails, the host's current body cannot withstand the high-power operation of the space-time core, and in order to ensure the safety of the host's life, the scan will not be executed. ”
A series of prompts made Zhongli frown suddenly, he didn't expect that the wisdom brain, which had always been invincible, was actually restricted at this moment, and the range of spatial scanning was greatly reduced, not even covering one-third of this small island.
And this restriction on the power of the brain is the evil power of the alien god that appeared on the dragon king whale, that is to say, this small island is the lair of a certain evil god, similar to a special area like the Bermuda Triangle, and the blazing and violent xenomorph vitality in the air also proves this.
Of course, this is not to say that the power of the gods is stronger than the space-time core possessed by the Zhi Brain, but Zhongli's current body is not enough to support the full operation of the space-time core, so it will be limited.
Strength, no matter when Zhongli feels insufficient, but fortunately, today's gods are similar to him, under the shroud of divine power, the brain can still scan most of the area, only the central area with the most divine power can block the exploration of the brain and expose his position on the side.
Ino left with the Tide Spirit Halberd, it is very likely that he went to the central area, as for why he went, a god of an alien race, a ruler of the Spirit of the Tide Sea, did he still need a reason to encounter a situation?
"Your Highness!"
Mary Rose was clearly aware of something, staring at the mist-shrouded island in front of her, her eyes full of worry and nervousness.
"Let's go!"
In contrast, Zhongli behaved very calmly, ignoring the strangeness of this small island at all, and stepped directly into the fog, seeing that Mary Rose was also helpless, and hurriedly followed.
After stepping into the fog, the field of vision was much lowered, and a road could be faintly seen in the fog, with traces of artificial repair, and even a street sign was erected at the intersection, on the decaying street sign, a one-legged crow depicted with dark red lines, standing on the blackened canopy, with blood-red eyes looking down ahead.
This painting looks very crude, like the graffiti of a five or six-year-old child, but it exudes a strange feeling that is indescribable, especially the blood-red eyes, which make people faintly feel the horror of soul annihilation and death.
"It's ......"
Seeing this, Mary Rose instantly stopped her footsteps, and couldn't help but lose her voice: "Sue the dead bird!"
"Bang!"
As soon as the words fell, they were muffled by a loud bang, and Zhongli kicked the rotten street sign to pieces, his expression unchanged: "Pretend to be a ghost, let's go." ”
