Chapter 963: Where Do You Want to Run?
"It's coming!"
Jiang Yan muttered in a low voice, but there was no nervousness on his face. Not only him, but Xiaobai beside him also had a fixed look in his eyes but maintained quite calm.
Not only that, even the pursuit team of more than 100 slimes in the distance, after seeing the phantom of the balance emerging behind the system host, did not show the slightest abnormality, and still maintained that seemingly tacit and unobtrusive offensive against the system host.
Not even the slightest chance to break through to the system hosts took advantage of the chaos.
【......】
Seeing that the manifestation of the legal doctrine of trading theocracy that he had condensed did not have even the slightest intimidation effect on the enemy, the system was not very disappointed. As it continues to dodge the attacks of the slimes around it, it unleashes the magic skills it wields.
"In the name of the god of wealth, make a deal with the Supreme Reason!
With this announcement, the golden balance phantom immediately responded, and wisps of luminous green light that exuded an incomparably rich breath of life began to emerge from the body that belonged to Randy in the system host, and then converged and fell into the tray on the left side of the scale.
Immediately afterward, a golden glow appeared on the tray on the right side of the scale, and then merged into the body of the system host, casting a strange golden aura on its entire body. With the blessing of this layer of spiritual light, every move of the system host, there are wisps of golden light chips like afterimages dragged out.
It seems that because the deal was successfully concluded, the phantom of the golden balance above the head of the system host body also directly became transparent and disappeared again.
During this period, Jiang Yan had secretly given an order to Xiaobai's slime clone legion through the slave network, asking them to try to touch the legal manifestation of the golden balance that appeared above the head of the system. Of course, it would be better if it could be devoured or destroyed.
No matter how bad it is, if you can disrupt the transaction process initiated by the system host, it will also be a good result.
But in fact, the result of the Slime Legion's probing was still not as Jiang Yan expected, the golden balance was not a physical object, nor even a condensation of energy, but a very pure manifestation of a certain legal concept, and it was impossible for normal means to interfere with it at all.
Even, even the 'costs' that the golden balance extracted from the system host in the process of trading, from the moment they were extracted, those 'costs' have also been included by the other party into the realm of legal concepts that cannot be reached by conventional means, so that Xiaobai's slime clones are also unable to destroy their transactions by snatching those 'costs' halfway.
However, the only good news is that the concept of the law that the golden balance represents seems to be related to 'trading', and it seems that it is really just the embodiment of a pure trading concept, and does not have an active malicious or substantive attack effect, so that even if the slime clones of Xiaobai make a tentative move that can be called a provocation against them, they have not been subjected to any counterattack because of this.
Jiang Yan originally thought that under the gaze of the mysterious will that even he could feel an extremely terrifying sense of threat, perhaps the manifestation of the Supreme Law, this kind of temptation would provoke the other party's punishment, but it was obvious that his worries were a little unfounded.
No...... Perhaps it is also because the actions of Xiaobai's slime clones did not have any substantial impact on this transaction witnessed by the mysterious will, so they did not provoke the other party's punishment.
Jiang Yan didn't know what the specific truth was, but he didn't have the heart to dwell on this issue anymore. His attention was drawn to the dramatic changes in Randy's body at this moment.
The price paid by the system host after reaching this deal is just as it just announced, which is the remaining full half of the lifespan of the body that originally belonged to Randy, which involves a permanent reduction of the upper lifespan of the upper life limit at the almost origin level!
The halving of life expectancy, the result is very obvious and immediately reflected in that body, originally Randy was still a young man in his twenties, even for ordinary people, this age stage is also the youngest and most vigorous period in a human life, not to mention that Randy himself still has a supernatural cultivation that is not weak, and later after being taken away by the system, he was directly strengthened by the system to the third-level extreme realm...... With the combination of these factors, even if his body was a short-lived race like the original human, he should now have a lifespan of more than a thousand years!
But now, in just a few seconds of the trading process, Randy's body, which should have been very young, has changed from a good young man to a middle-aged man with white hair on his sideburns and looks like an ordinary forty or fifty-year-old man, and even the skin on his body has begun to age a little, and there are very obvious wrinkles on his face.
If Randy still retained his consciousness, his mood would definitely not be calm when he saw this scene, but unfortunately, his own soul consciousness has fallen into a state of almost forbidden sleep, and it is the will of the mysterious system that asserts his body.
Through analysis, Jiang Yan is also relatively clear about the state of this Randy and the system host at the moment, and from this, he has determined that the transaction theocracy used by the system host will not be too strictly required to belong to the price charged when trading. Even if a trader obtains something by forcible grabbing, it can be used as a price to complete the transaction with the other party.
So, even if that body originally belonged to Randy, now the system host can ignore Randy's opinion and arbitrarily use the lifespan of his body as a price to launch a trade for theocracy.
Such a discovery made Jiang Yan secretly keep an eye on it.
The analysis in the heart is only a matter of a moment, and in reality, the system host has begun to have a new round of action after receiving the reward given by the trading theocracy.
It was still dodging left and right in embarrassment under the encirclement and interception of more than a hundred slimes, but after the blessing of that extra layer of golden aura, its movement speed actually skyrocketed several times in an instant.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire body of the system turned into a golden flash that no one else could see its specific shape, leaving the slime clones who could barely keep up with its movement far behind!
Seeing that the normal way of movement was difficult to keep up with the speed of the system host, the slime clones reacted very decisively and began to switch to the method of 'space jumping', directly teleporting to the position where the system host might appear next predicted by the intelligent brains through precise calculations, and even with this method, some slime clones really approached each other's side several times.
But it's a pity that the system at this moment, under the enhancement of the so-called 'speed power' obtained from the trading of the golden balance, its speed has indeed reached a terrifying realm that the brains are a little unexpected.
Those slime clones who happened to predict the movement path of the system host had already flashed to the other party's side through spatial jumping, but every time they just wanted to attack, they saw that there was no target in the position of the system host that was originally locked. Sensing it again, they found that the other party had actually thrown themselves away again in the moment just now.
No matter how the slime clones predicted and teleported, they never even touched a corner of the system host, and they could only eat dust behind the system host one step later every time.
"This speed...... How could it be so fast?!" Xiao Bai, who was outside the battlefield, couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he looked at this scene.
In fact, whether it is Xiaobai or Jiang Yan, they can understand how terrifying the speed displayed by the current system is really terrifying, because the speed of his consciousness reaction can keep up with the speed of the other party.
Jiang Yan was able to have such a reaction speed, naturally because of the effect of one of the soul talents brought by his data power, and Xiao Bai benefited from the closely connected contract with Jiang Yan, and was infected by Jiang Yan's soul power for many years, and his own soul seemed to have also undergone an alienation similar to Jiang Yan, so he naturally obtained this innate ability.
But it was precisely because of the speed of reaction that Xiao Bai was even more surprised, because it knew very well how much his talent for speeding thinking and reacting from Jiang Yan had compared to normal beings.
But now, through observation, Xiao Bai found that the extreme speed power displayed by the system body seems to be not only the enhancement of action (movement) speed, but also the speed of thinking and reaction has also been raised to a matching level!
The system host can get rid of the interceptions made by the slime clone again and again, not because the position and timing of the slime clone are wrong, but because the opponent can always detect that the slime clone is approaching them, and immediately temporarily change their movement route with a speed far exceeding the speed of the slime clone.
And even if Xiaobai's slime clones can react, their bodies can't keep up with each other's movements, so they can only be thrown away.
"After all, it is not surprising that half of the vitality of a third-level extreme realm powerhouse was completely sacrificed to the speed blessing obtained in exchange for the speed blessing that can achieve this effect. Jiang Yan commented in a flat tone.
Xiao Bai looked at the battlefield in the distance, which had completely turned into a golden comet-like flash and escaped from the siege of the slime army, and continued to flee directly towards the depths of the void without hesitation, he shook his little head slightly, and said with some regret:
"This guy is quite sane. I thought it would have chosen to attack you, a figure who clearly has an important identity in the fantasy realm, after gaining that speed advantage in foul play. I didn't expect it to be greedy at all. ”
"It's normal because it's at a blister's speed, and it doesn't last long. Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of data, and he explained to Xiaobai with a chuckle.
Xiaobai tilted his little head, and then suddenly said: "That's right, after all, no matter what, even if Randy's physical fitness has been greatly improved because his cultivation has been strengthened to the third-level extreme realm, but he is not the type that specializes in physical cultivation, half of the body's vitality can be temporarily exchanged for this kind of extreme speed power after being sacrificed, even if it is normal, but if this kind of foul speed power is permanent, then the half of his life force that was sacrificed is too 'valuable'." ”
One person and one pet watched the fast and distant back of the system, but they all had the leisure to slowly evaluate its ability, and even saw that the other party had been out of the effective blocking range of the silver data field of the data lock network, and they still did not look anxious at all.
The reason why their mentality is so stable and they are not afraid of the prey running away is naturally because they have the corresponding dependence.
So, the two of them began to chat casually in this void, and did not act.
It wasn't until more than a minute later that Xiaobai suddenly stopped chatting and said, "Hmm, Master, it should be about the same, right? ”
Jiang Yan closed his eyes slightly, and after perceiving it, he nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Indeed, I also feel that the other party's speed has slowed down, and it seems that the effective time of its extreme speed power has ended." ”
Subsequently, Jiang Yan directly shared a copy of the coordinate information of the void area with Xiaobai, and said, "This distance is still no problem for you, right?"
"Of course. Xiao Bai looked at the extra coordinates in his mind, and then mimicrated a small hand and gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up.
Subsequently, Xiao Bai directly returned to his original form, allowing Jiang Yan to enter the dimensional space in his body, and then as if jumping into the water, his body directly drilled into a circle of extremely slight spatial ripples, and disappeared into this void.
And the more than 100 slime clones in the distance that were originally summoned by Xiaobai to besiege the enemy have gathered together at some point, converging into a miniature gray crystal slime, and then leaving with the help of space jump at the same moment.
......
At the same time.
In another void area where Jiang Yan and the others didn't know how far away they were from before, a golden meteor that was rapidly streaking by, and the light on its body began to gradually dim. After barely holding on for more than ten seconds, the meteor's brilliance finally completely dispersed, revealing the body of the system within.
Because of the free chaotic energy everywhere in the Chaotic Void environment, as well as the wave-like energy tides that exist all the time, the autonomous movement behavior of any unit in this environment will be hindered to a greater or lesser extent.
Here, there is no way to easily maintain a uniform speed along inertia like the gravity-free environment of the cosmic vacuum.
Moreover, in the environment of the Chaotic Void, the faster you move, the more violently you will collide with the free chaotic energy along the way, and in order to resist the impact and wear brought by the turbulence of those chaotic energy, you need to continue to consume your own strength.
Before, the system host was able to maintain such a terrifying speed, because the 'speed power' traded from the golden balance also had the effect of protecting the master when moving at high speed, but now that this power is exhausted, not to mention that the system host can no longer reach such a fast speed, even if it can still do it, but if it dares to rampage through the chaotic void without sufficient protection, it is no different from suicide.
Looking at the strange void in front of them, the system hosts were trying to stop and use some special means to determine their current location in order to locate and search for a new place to stay.
But before it could start moving, the face of the system host suddenly changed.
Because it suddenly felt an inexplicable strangeness, and that strange feeling actually came from the body.
What's going on?
At first, the system host thought that there was something wrong with his snatched body, but after careful investigation, he found that there seemed to be no problem with this body at all.
So, the system began to carefully analyze the specific situation of the strange feeling, and finally took a little time, and finally determined that this strange feeling actually came from the soul of Randy who was sealed by it in the body!
The system that confirmed this was a little confused.
But sensing that something was wrong, it only thought about it for a few or three seconds before deciding not to keep Randy's soul, which was obviously problematic now.
But before it could take action, the familiar spatial fluctuations from the surrounding area immediately attracted the attention of the system.
"Yo~~, where do you want to run?"
The little white gray crystal slime clones that jumped out of the ripples of spatial fluctuations surrounded the system body again, and one of the slimes had a playful and humanized smile on its face.
