Chapter 21: Human Courage
After a short narration, it was a change of perspective, and Su Xiu once again got rid of God's perspective and appeared in a very ancient room.
At this moment, there were two other people in the room besides him, an old man with white hair and beard, who looked drooping and old, the old man was sitting in the first seat, and the other was a man kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.
The man's back made Su Li feel a little familiar, and he couldn't help but lean in, and found that the man kneeling on the ground turned out to be the one he knewβJian Xiu!
The one who was the first to make a move in the last deduction gave Su Li a clear understanding of how the sword cultivator existed.
Thinking of the descriptor of "the recognized No. 1 Sword Cultivator Mu Bo in the Xia Kingdom" in the system narration just now, Su Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he felt very reasonable.
After all, he had seen Mu Bo's strength, and in this era, he really deserved the title of No. 1 Sword Cultivator.
And in the last deduction, Mu Bo was the first to stand up and save people as a cultivator, which made Su Li recognize.
Just as Su Li was watching, the old man sitting in the first place spoke, "Have you really decided?" This trip is a life of nine deaths. β
"Master, the apprentice has already thought clearly."
Mu Bo still lowered his head, his voice was not too loud but with a resoluteness that could not be ignored, "Mankind has reached the end of its rope, and only by getting rid of the Shadow Queen can there be a glimmer of hope." β
It is true that humans are still not very clear about the connection between the Shadow Queen and the Shadow Queen, but they know at least one thing - unlike humans, the Shadow Queen can unconditionally make all the Shadow Queens submit, which means that there must be some kind of connection between the Shadow Queen and the Shadow Person. And after this period of investigation, humans have also confirmed that the Shadow Queen is the first Shadow Queen, and all Shadow Figures are born from her.
So even if it's still not clear what kind of impact the killing of the Shadow Queen will have on the Shadow Queen, killing the Shadow Queen has still become one of the goals of humanity at this stage - this is really risky, and even killing the Shadow Queen itself may lead to the crazy revenge of the Shadow Queen. But humanity is already standing on the edge of the cliff and has no way back, and if we don't take advantage of the desperate fight now, what awaits humanity is internal disintegration, and then complete extinction.
Human beings are actually not a particularly good race, and they have a lot of shortcomings, but in the face of this kind of extinction, they never lack the courage to fight to the death.
There is also a lack of people who are willing to gamble everything for the sake of this glimmer of hope.
"Alas~" Hearing this, the old man sighed, as if sad and relieved, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's it, since you have made up your mind, go ahead!" β
"But ......" Speaking of this, the old man's eyes, which had been squinting, suddenly opened a little, and at this moment he did not look like a drooping old man at all, but as sharp as a sword, "If you fail......
"The apprentice will destroy himself before being swallowed by the shadows, and will never allow himself to become a threat to humanity."
Mu Bo replied without hesitation.
"Then let's go!" The old man returned to his previous appearance, paused and said, "If you don't come back, Xiao Yi will enter the realm of trials." β
The realm of trials, a secret realm that will only be used by Taixuan Sect when selecting young sect masters.
"I understand."
Mu Bo replied, and respectfully kowtowed to Lao Ji in the first place, then stood up and turned away.
He was still dressed in white as Su Li had when he first saw him, with a long sword hanging from his waist, but there was an extra ornament on his wrist.
It was the secret treasure of the Taixuan Sect, and it had a miraculous effect in protecting the soul.
And watching Mu Bo walk out, Su Li couldn't help pursing his lips, he was not an idiot, after listening to the conversation between the master and apprentice, he still didn't understand what Mu Bo was going to do.
The other party is planning to carry out a decapitation tactic to assassinate the Queen of Shadows!
If it was placed before the establishment of Shadow City, even if Mu Bo's strength could not succeed, the danger should not be great, but now, if he wanted to assassinate the Queen of Shadow in the Shadow City, whether he could succeed or not was not mentioned first, the probability of Mu Bo himself coming back alive was very low.
He obviously knew this, but decided to go anyway.
"This guy...... How to give me the feeling of a child of the plane. In order to regulate his suppressed mood, Su Li muttered in a low voice while keeping up with Mu Bo.
And Mu Bo, who was completely unaware that there were people watching him next to him, then joined up with several other people, who were obviously not low in strength, including cultivators from the Xia Kingdom and magicians who were obviously foreigners.
Su Li just watched the six of them converge, and then saw the six of them get together to discuss the plan of action. According to the steps they discussed, firstly, the enchantment master of the six people is responsible for hiding the aura for everyone, ensuring that everyone can safely sneak into the shadow layer, and secondly, the others will ensure that Mu Bo can reach the Shadow Queen, as for Mu Bo himself, there is only one task, that is, to kill the Shadow Queen.
Of course, there must be a lot of details, how to hide everyone's breath, how to ensure that the operation will not be discovered at an early stage, how to ensure that Mu Bo can reach the queen of filmmakers...... However, Su Li noticed one point, that is, until this action plan was finalized, these people did not discuss the evacuation plan.
They devised a plan ABCDEFG for this operation, but they did not make a way out for themselves.
In other words, they didn't intend to leave a way back for themselves.
Make it or die there.
This is their determination!
And after the plan was formulated, the six of them didn't bother to do anything, and got into the car that had been specially arranged so that they would not be spotted by the Shadow Man in a short period of time (Edgeworth's flight was easy to be discovered by the Shadow Man). Looking at the car that was about to carry out a nine-death assassination, but there were still six people talking and laughing, Su Li suddenly thought of a sentence.
"Human courage is a hymn to ......"
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the car had already started, and Su Li was about to follow, when the system's prompt sounded again.
[In order to give hope to the future of mankind, Mu Bo and five other extraordinary people formed a decapitation team, and their purpose was only one, that is, to kill the Shadow Queen, and give everything for them, including their lives. γ
[If this is not in reality, but in a novel or biography, the six-member killing team will definitely succeed, but reality is reality after all.] γ
"it!"
For the first time since getting the system, Su Li burst into a foul mouth, he really didn't expect that his emotions had just been mobilized by the six-person team, and he was actually spoiled by the system.
And it's this kind of unfolding that he can't accept at all!
