[126] Butterflies
β¦β¦
It's just that his strange fire is entwined, but it doesn't show its previous power.
That fist-sized piece of Xuan Ice was clearly completely wrapped in strange fire, but there was no sign of melting!
I don't know if it's an illusion, and even, the butterfly in the Xuanbing that Chen Li was observing with his divine thoughts seemed to stretch its wings slightly at a certain moment.
But when he looked at it again, the butterfly seemed to be still in its original form, which made him wonder if it was really hallucinating.
But that's not the most important thing right now.
The most important thing is that the distance of the Xuan Ice is getting closer and closer to him, and it looks like it is about to rush to him!
In desperation, Chen Li had no choice but to give up his strongest attack method at present, and gave up the attack without hesitation, turning around and withdrawing directly.
Just kidding, there is nothing he can do with it, and other means must not be able to achieve results in a short period of time, which means that he can't help this strange piece of Xuanbing - I can't help you, can't I run?
This is his idea, the so-called thirty-six strategies, taking is the best policy, now it is the time when the upgrade is completed, Chen Li's mentality is a little inflated, although the attack is deflated, it does not mean that he is weaker than anyone else.
Chen Li's figure turned into a ray of light at this moment, a sword light that was beyond imagination.
Anyway, in this void world, it is similar to the cosmic vacuum, and there is no definite direction, so he casually found a direction and began his own journey.
Who knows why he started running away again?
Being chased and killed by a piece of Xuan Bing frozen with a butterfly in it, it feels a little funny to think about it, he is a serious sixth-order powerhouse, how can he be so unbearable?
At this time, no one could answer the doubts in his heart, and Chen Li himself had no extra thoughts to think about - because that piece of Xuan Ice was about to catch up!
Hell knows how this thing could be so fast!
After he turned into a sword light, the distance between the two not only did not widen, but became closer!
20m, 15m, 10m......
Chen Li could only watch as the Xuan Ice caught up, and in the end, it was only about a foot away.
Chen Li's stubborn temper came up, he snorted, simply turned around and stopped, facing Xuan Bing, his arm contracted and accumulated, and he could burst out with a full force at any time, "I don't believe it now, I don't need any strength, just use my fists, see if you can restrain me!" β
It was too late, and almost at the moment he stopped, the Xuan Bing had already caught up, and it only took a ten-thousandth of a second to make intimate contact with his body.
However, Chen Li, who had already prepared for this, was not alarmed, his face did not change, and he slammed out his right fist, which had been shrouded in mana and had been stored for a long time.
In the next moment, Chen Li only felt a chilling chill on his right hand, followed by a deafening muffled sound coming from in front of him.
Chen Li's figure instantly retracted, retreating for a long distance, which was the result of him being pushed by the huge reaction force.
Click, click!
After the muffled sound, a small cracking sound sounded one after another.
Chen Li's divine thoughts were released all the time, and he naturally knew what the sound was - dense cracks appeared on the surface of the Xuan Ice, and they were still expanding, and they were about to shatter soon!
Xuan Bing, who couldn't help it, was about to shatter under his fist, but Chen Li didn't show the slightest joy, on the contrary, his face became more and more solemn.
He sensed a special aura, which was slowly released in the crack of the Xuan Ice.
It was just a breath, but it gave him a strong sense of crisisβafter his cultivation became stronger and stronger, he rarely had this sense of crisis.
For this kind of feeling, which is more mysterious than the sixth sense, he has always maintained an attitude that he would rather believe in what he has than what he does not have.
The sense of crisis in his back made Chen Li's spirit tense, and he quietly watched the piece of Xuanbing that was pushed out by the reaction force, but did not fly far away and was full of cracks.
Before he could figure out the details of this mysterious ice, he chose to stand still and wait and see what happened.
Click......
It was clearly only the size of a fist, but the sound from the Xuan Ice became louder and louder, and finally, under Chen Li's gaze, it was finally completely shattered.
The shattered fragments of ice immediately volatilized, turning into a thin white mist that filled the surroundings, and in the haze, it seemed that an ice-blue butterfly was stretching its wings in it.
The state of this butterfly is very peculiar, its body is sometimes illusory, sometimes condensed, Chen Li only uses his divine thoughts to observe, and he has the illusion that his divine thoughts will be frostbitten.
No! Chen Li suddenly had a kind of realization that if he had been wrapping it with his divine thoughts, his divine thoughts would definitely be "frostbitten"!
This judgment frightened him into immediately retracting his divine thoughts, and no longer observing with his divine thoughts, but switching back to his vision, observing its changes with the naked eye.
In the dark void without light, the role of the naked eye is naturally not as good as that of the divine thought, but before there is no higher way, Chen Li can only trust his own eyes.
No matter how powerful his vision is, he can only roughly distinguish the existence of some things here - this is determined by the nature of the void, and he cannot change it at the moment.
However, because of the special nature of that butterfly, Chen Li only used his naked eyes, and he was able to clearly observe its existence anyway.
It was a beautiful butterfly carved from ice, with an ice-blue body color, dotted with transparent spots, and countless mysterious patterns on its wings that made people dizzy, as if it was not a creature but a man-made artwork.
This discovery stunned him, why didn't he notice that this butterfly was so beautiful before?
With the current appearance of this butterfly, it stands to reason that he would not ignore it so much, but the fact is that he ignored the existence of this butterfly and only focused on the ice that froze it.
Now after the Xuan Ice shattered, he noticed the existence of this butterfly, and the aura emanating from its small body made Chen Li feel a full sense of crisis.
This is not a thing to be happy about, but when he saw this butterfly for the second time, he couldn't help but show a smile - a smile that made Chen Li himself stunned!
Why should I laugh?
It didn't take long for him to come up with an answer.
A vicissitudes of life came out of the butterfly's body, and quickly touched with his retreating divine thoughts, "Don't come harmless, guests, can I use my family's props easily?" β
It was clearly a question without a beginning or an end, but Chen Li seemed to understand something, and said in a sudden and affirmative tone: "You are the shopkeeper of the small pawnshop I saw in Bird City?!" β
"Hehehe, the guest's association ability is good, I haven't even taken the initiative to reveal my identity, you have already guessed it."
The butterfly flapped its wings slightly, came to Chen Li's left front and stood still, and continued to transmit the voice to him with a divine thought:
"I didn't expect that after we left Bird City, we would meet again in this way in the Void Realm, it's really fateful."
"Hehe, yes, it's fate." Chen Li didn't know what to say, so he could only reply like this.
Although they were "acquaintances" who met again, Chen Li didn't feel much relaxed.
Because the sense of crisis that is like a man's back is even stronger when the other party takes the initiative to contact him.
Up to now, he was already controlling his body's reaction with his strong willpower, and he was really afraid that he would suddenly attack the other party without paying attention.
After all, this is just a one-sided feeling on his part, the other party hasn't really done anything to him, he was just chasing him before, and he hasn't really caused any damage to him, and now he still maintains the harmony on the surface.
No matter how unstable this harmony is, it means that the two sides have no intention of tearing their faces and fighting immediately.
No matter how cordial the other party is, the actual actions taken by the other party before and his perception of the sense of crisis will never deceive.
It's unclear what the butterfly intended, so let's take a steady stride.
Chen Li didn't want to start fighting right away, after all, he wasn't a fanatical fighter, and only when he figured out the other party's purpose could he have a chance to wait for the opportunity.
It didn't seem to see that Chen Li's body was stiff, and his tone was a little wrong, and the butterfly said in a tone that seemed to be nostalgic and emotional:
"I didn't expect that the guest who only had mortal-level consciousness before would be able to grow to his current height in just such a short period of time, even if he had some premonitions, I didn't expect this to be the result."
"I have to say, the guest is really a miracle worker, and the speed at which you become stronger is really faster than I imagined."
As he spoke, the butterfly moved slightly, and he turned into a young man in his early twenties dressed as a small man in a gray robe.
"The old story is also over, and I will speak more bluntly, I don't know if the shopkeeper stopped me on the way, is there something wrong with looking for me?" Chen Li asked in Wei Guoguan's dialect.
The gray-robed guy with strange eyes smiled faintly at Chen Li, and the strange eyes with only the whites of his eyes stared at Chen Li like this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, slightly curled, and said:
"With the previous cooperation experience, I took the liberty to come to the guest this time, and naturally I wanted to cooperate with the guest again."
"Well, let me see, what kind of service do you need now...... guest" At the same time, he closed his eyes, and only opened his eyes after a while, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "It seems that the difficulties encountered by the guests this time are more troublesome, and even I can only see some doorways." β
"Oh? Why did the treasurer say this? Chen Li's face showed a puzzled look at the right time, "Is there any trouble on me?" How did I not know it myself? β
"Hehe," the gray-robed little guy smiled and said, "The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, and you don't know the guests yourself, isn't that a normal situation?" β
"That's what I'll tell you."
His face gradually became serious, "I believe that after this period of exploration, you should also know what your current situation is." β
"Presumably you are also aware that you are a special existence that has been paid attention to by many people, and even because of your specialness, many powerful beings who can't speak out have also cast their attention!"
When he said this, the gray-robed little guy paused, not knowing what he remembered, he smiled and said:
"It's just that with the cover of our little pawnshop, you can have a short respite, but this time is not long, you have to shift all the time, and you can't stay in one place for a long time."
"But it seems that not long ago, it seems that you should have taken off the thousand machines and thousands of noodles, the changed qi has been completely restored, and those who want to find the guests are afraid that they will soon arrive again."
βοΌοΌοΌβ Chen Li's mind was full of question marks, and he had a confused expression on his face, this was not pretending, but he was really a little confused.
There is so much danger in him...... How did he not know it himself? But he knew what this gray-robed guy was saying, but the actual situation was that if it wasn't for the other party's reminder now, maybe he wouldn't have known these things from beginning to end.
Is there really so much attention on yourself?
At the same time, Chen Li's vigilance was also mentioned to the highest level, this amount of information was too much, so he couldn't accept it a little - why did so many people pay attention to him, so he has become a piece of Tang monk meat now?
Should this be blamed on the big guy, or should he take the blame on himself?
Chen Li didn't know what to do at all.
For the mysterious person in front of him, his guard did not decrease much.
The other party knows the existence of these news, and he has to tell himself kindly...... He really didn't know what the gray-robed little guy was trying to do now.
Anyway, he wouldn't believe that this gray-robed guy was really kind to others, and he didn't want to reap what he had done.
"So what exactly do you want to say about cooperation?"
Chen Li asked in a deep voice, "I don't want to say anything more about my current state, it shouldn't be a coincidence that I was able to meet you here, right?" β
"No, no, no, you have to know that our little pawnshop will not look for repeat customers, and it is completely real fate to meet you here!"
The gray-robed little guy who changed from the butterfly shouted: "Just because this cooperation is actually just my temporary idea, if the guest is unwilling, we can also act as if nothing happened." β
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you, I've encountered too many things recently, so my brain can't handle it, so I'm vigilant when I encounter anything again, I didn't mean to do this, I'm really sorry."
"I'm sorry, but if you're willing, we can start a new collaboration now, and after the cooperation is over, I'll continue to take out problem-solving props like last time and give them to guests as a reward for the task."
The gray-robed little guy waved his hand and said.
"That'...... What do I need to do with this collaboration? Chen Li asked.
