Chapter 7: The Fireflies of the Stars
Turn back time a little.
The merfolk wielded a black trident to stab the King of China, devouring his soul and flesh.
Gu Qingshan saw the opportunity and slashed the head of the flying mermaid with a sword.
Immediately afterward, he asked the boss about the origin of the monster.
The Boss explained, "This is a spirit in the Void Turbulence, it belongs to the strange side, and it is completely defenseless - it can inhabit the body of any being, and by eating the soul and flesh of the other person, its shell will be transformed into weapons and armor!" β
"Are there rules for its abilities? Or is it that as long as it wants to, it must be able to inhabit other people's bodies? Gu Qingshan asked.
Old Dao: "I don't know! β
Everyone's hearts sank.
In this way, this monster is far more terrifying than the Void Deity that he encountered in the Forest of Corpse Pillars before.
Right nowβ
Gu Qingshan seemed to sense something.
He untied the black cloth covering his face, opened his eyes, and glanced at the monster.
The monster suddenly disappeared from its place.
At the same time, Gu Qingshan's eyes surged with the wind formed by countless soul powers.
It looked as if he was urging something.
"Why is that monster gone?"
Ye Fei was puzzled.
Lola looked at Gu Qingshan's eyes and said nervously, "Maybe Qingshan has done something." β
Zhang Yinghao controlled the trembling sensation on his body and tried to regain his composure.
Ye Feili and Lola have experienced limited battles, so unlike him, he can sense how dangerous it was just now based on his intuition.
Zhang Yinghao sighed deeply and said slowly: "This is impossible, that monster gives me the feeling that it is completely impossible to resist, Gu Qingshan should not have the strength to deal with it." β
Lola shook her head and said, "You're wrong, sometimes, fighting has nothing to do with strength. β
"Fighting has nothing to do with strength? How can I not understand this sentence? Ye Feili was even more puzzled.
- He has just entered the nine-billion-layer world, so many things are not very clear.
The boss waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop saying anything.
His face was extremely heavy, revealing a rare seriousness.
"Lola, take out all your strongest sealing treasures and seal this black trident." The Boss said.
Lola looked at the black trident.
I saw that after this halberd lost its owner, it was letting out a faint wail.
"Okay." Lola said.
She took out one set of sealed treasures after another, and didn't care about too many operations at all, and threw them directly into the black trident.
Bang la la la -
Soon, the black trident was completely submerged by various sealing treasures.
A mountain of treasures.
The trident was crushed underneath and never made any more sound.
The boss breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fly away, give me a drink." β
Ye Feili handed over a can of soul power drink.
The boss drank it all in one go.
He threw away the can, flipped out the Book of Destiny with one hand, and pressed Gu Qingshan's back with the other.
"What is this for?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
The boss said lightly: "Maybe you feel worse, so I don't know what happened." β
He glanced at Zhang Yinghao and nodded slightly.
Yes, the situation just now, in fact, the two of them felt it the same way as Gu Qingshan.
The boss explained: "Just now, death almost came to us completely, and at the last moment, Gu Qingshan untied the black cloth in front of him and forcibly launched his technique. β
Everyone looked at Gu Qingshan, only to see that he was still standing motionless, his eyes quietly staring at the void.
An invisible wind swirled around him.
The boss continued: "I can feel that Gu Qingshan's technique has not been completely perfected, so he is still standing here - this has become one of his biggest weaknesses - in fact, if this technique is completely completed, he will disappear with the monster." β
"So we're going to protect him now?" Lola asked.
"Luckily, there are no other monsters here, so there is no need to protect him this time."
As the boss spoke, the book of fate in his hand automatically opened, revealing a picture.
Gu Qingshan's and the monster's figures leaped onto the page.
When everyone watched, Gu Qingshan had just shot the black trident.
"That's not right, the black trident is obviously here with us, why was it sent flying by him again?" Zhang Yinghao couldn't help but ask.
Lola glanced into the pile of treasures and said with certainty, "That black trident is indeed still here." β
The Boss took a breath and muttered, "Maybe he used his magic to intercept a fate point, and let the monster and his soul manifest body go to some illusory dream that resembles a parallel world...... That's so thoughtful......"
The crowd continued to look towards the Book of Destiny.
I saw that on the screen, the monster released black mist and killed everyone.
There is no resistance at all!
In the garden, only Gu Qingshan was still standing there.
At this point, all the scenes disappeared completely.
Lola urged, "Quick, let's see what's going on behind the scenes." β
"No," the boss shook his head, "it's a dream like a parallel world, and with my current strength, I can only see so much." β
"Gu Qingshan, isn't it dangerous." Lola said anxiously.
"Don't worry, it's his technique, and if he dies, it will collapse and he and the monster will come back to us again." Old Boulevard.
Several people glanced at each other.
Ye Feili took out the Soul Hook of Lethe.
Zhang Yinghao began to draw cards.
Lola rummaged through her small satchel.
- You have to prepare in advance!
The boss shook his head and said with emotion: "It's useless, that monster is too strong, and among the three of you, only Lola has a little real insight into the battle, but unfortunately Lola doesn't know the battle between the gods." β
"Then please tell us what the battle of the gods is like." Ye Feili said extremely seriously.
The Boss bent down and pressed his hand to the ground.
"The battle of mortals is indeed based on strength."
As he spoke, his expression was thoughtful, as if he was feeling something.
"But in the midst of the infinite void turbulence, if you encounter a god-like monster, it is impossible to immediately detect what it is capable of."
"The moment you meet, you can break out into a fight - because it wants to eat you, and you want to live."
"Therefore, in the battle at the level of the gods, there is only one standard to measure the strength and weakness and the victory or defeat."
Speaking of this, the boss's expression moved, as if he had noticed something, and his face showed a little hesitation.
After waiting for a while, the boss never spoke, and Zhang Yinghao couldn't help asking:
"How do you measure a battle?"
The boss glanced at him and said, "Don't measure it by strength or weakness, use who can survive." β
After speaking, he closed his eyes and whispered, "Now I have to fight hard." β
"Fortunately, this is part of the abyss, and although it has been separated by the seven gods, it still belongs to the abyss."
ββ¦β¦ Gu Qingshan did a good job, there are no monsters here to disturb me, so I can do it......"
The boss chattered, and suddenly shouted:
"The will comes!"
Rumble!
The whole garden was thrown into a violent tremor.
After about ten seconds, the void suddenly burst open.
The meadows, fountains, lush trees, and even the entire garden disappeared in an instant, and they disappeared in an instant.
The crowd had to stand in the void.
"What's going on?" Lola asked, surprised.
"It's nothing, I made the Abyss feel this part of its body, so the Abyss summoned it back."
The Boss reached into the void and took out a bit of a bright blue star and held it in his hand.
"The abyss is being eroded by the end of the parallel world, and for it now, it is really an urgent need to be able to recover some of its body."
"So, the abyss gave me this reward......"
The crowd looked at his hand.
The blue star seems to have infinite mysteries, and people can't help but be fascinated by it at the first sight, and can hardly take their eyes off it.
Looking closely, I saw that the blue star was a glowing insect, with a pair of transparent wings as thin as cicada wings, and a fat body, which looked a little cute.
The worm emitted bursts of blue light that was stronger than ever.
"It's beautiful, what the hell is this?" Lola exclaimed.
"The Star Firefly, a causal side life - it doesn't have any strength and can't fight."
"So what it does is just look good?" Ye Feili asked.
The Boss couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't underestimate this firefly, it can forcibly designate any other life through its own death to fall into death together."
"For it to activate this ability, there must be a cause, and that is my death."
The boss flipped his hand and put away the little starlight.
"You're already conscious of dying in battle?" Zhang Yinghao said in a low voice.
"Of course, with our current strength, we can't defeat that monster," the boss said freely, "rather than everyone die, I should die alone." β
Everyone looked at him blankly, and a wave of emotion surged in their hearts.
"Woo woo woo, boss, don't die."
Lola couldn't help but cry.
Zhang Yinghao and Ye Feili were also a little speechless.
Ye Feili's eyes were a little red.
Zhang Yinghao clenched his fists fiercely.
The boss was a little embarrassed to see everyone's reaction like this.
Admittedly, it's been a bit hard lately β there are a lot of things that I can't do when I'm seriously injured and I'm exhausted.
But this time, the monster was led away by Gu Qingshan, and it took him more than ten seconds to summon the Abyss Will to descend, thus obtaining the Star Firefly.
- With this thing, I have a little bit of confidence.
So let's say something.
The boss couldn't help but cough lightly, and explained to the three of them: "That-my death is not what you think--if I die, you take my body with you, and after a while I will come back to life because of the power of the abyss." β
"What!"
Lola, Zhang Yinghao, and Ye Feili exclaimed together.
They quickly thought of something.
Yes.
There is only one that can be resurrected from slumber after death.
Abyssal monsters.
Could it be that the Boss is an abyssal monster?
As soon as this thought popped up, the three of them were a little surprised.
They started to panic.
"I, I, I can't tell if he's bragging this time," Lola stammered, "Boss, boss, what are you?" β
"Wait a minute, Lola, didn't you rescue him with Gu Qingshan? You don't even know who he really is? Zhang Yinghao said a little crazy.
"That's true, but I, I, I, I, I always thought he was a miserable manβ" said Lola pitifully.
Ye Feili waved his hand indifferently and said, "No matter what, in short, he stood up for us, so don't care about his identity." β
"Stupid, we just want to know the truth!"
Lola and Zhang Yinghao said in unison.
The boss looked at the reactions of the three of them, sighed, and said, "I thought that in addition to Gu Qingshan, you all noticed it, but now it seems that I am thinking too much." β
"Actuallyβto be honestβ"
"I am the king of the abyss."
