Chapter 20: The Race Against Death (New Book Collection)
"Hey, boss, aren't you leaving?" Carl looked at Ye Qingzhou, who was staying in place, and wondered.
Ye Qingzhou spoke: "You guys go first, I still have some things to deal with." ”
"Okay, boss, be careful."
Watching everyone leave, Ye Qingzhou exhaled and found a nearby ancient tree that looked relatively tall.
He put the backpack and the Sirius Bow he had brought with him on the ground, and with a leap of his body, he crawled towards the top of the ancient tree.
After improving his agility, Ye Qingzhou's figure became more and more vigorous, and he soon climbed to a height of five or six meters.
He stood on the branch of the ancient tree and looked down, and he could see the scene around him.
"That's really the case......" A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qingzhou's mouth.
I saw a huge skeleton statue appear within a hundred meters below.
The statue is made of scattered stones and dead wood, and it is inlaid into the ground as if it were naturally formed.
This statue should be the nameless statue that you destroyed in the Easter Egg Challenge!
For a long time, Ye Qingzhou has entered a misunderstanding, he thinks that the statue must be a whole piece, three-dimensional visible.
But if this statue is not a single piece, but is made up of countless stones, then I am afraid that I will not find it in my lifetime.
It occurred to him that possibility when he saw an employee of his hire kick one of the rocks.
Along the way, he saw a lot of stones, some of them were strangely shaped, and now that he thought about it, weren't they the various organs on this skeleton statue?
Now that he was climbing on the tree, he could see the whole statue at a glance.
"This angle is really tricky, I almost got caught!"
Ye Qingzhou took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the skeleton statue.
Soon he jumped to the ground, picked up the Sirius bow and his backpack, and immediately glanced at the photograph and came to one of the stones that made up the statue.
He took out a tool hammer from his backpack and said lightly: "It starts with you!" ”
He roughly counted that the entire skeleton statue was made up of more than a hundred stones and some dead wood, and it would take some time to destroy it.
Without saying a word, he raised his tool hammer and threw it at the stone.
"Bang-"
In an instant, the stone was torn apart and shattered completely.
Ye Qingzhou did not delay and moved towards the next stone.
However, as soon as he took a step, a gust of wind suddenly hung up in the woods.
The yin wind gusted, blowing the ancient trees to the east and west, and the branches swayed wildly, like ghost hands.
"Woo-woo-"
The raging yin wind is like a roar of ghosts in the ears.
"Boom—"
At the same moment, under the extremely low dark clouds, a muffled thunder sounded.
White light emerged, and a huge arc of lightning pierced the sky like the Milky Way, splitting down.
"Bang-"
Lightning struck the trees, and in an instant a fire ignited.
As soon as the wind swept up, the fire was like pouring gasoline, and it quickly burned in all directions.
"Grass!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingzhou scolded in his heart.
Is death at work again?
It's desolate and remote, and the rest of the people who weren't on the Grim Reaper's list have left, so it's a good opportunity for the Grim Reaper to take action.
"Boom—"
Another arc of electricity slashed down, hitting a tree not far away, igniting a burst of fire, completely blocking Ye Qingzhou's escape route.
Ye Qingzhou looked at the scenes around him, his brows furrowed.
In his heart, he became more and more clear: "It seems that the power of the god of death is also limited, and he can't completely manipulate natural phenomena to act on me, he can only use natural phenomena to wipe me out!" ”
"Or is it afraid that lightning will destroy the rocks here?"
Either way, he'll be safe for the time being, at least until the fire reaches the area.
Otherwise, he would choose to leave this world without saying a word.
In this situation, he still feels that there is a chance to complete the Easter Egg Challenge!
As long as the destruction speed is fast enough!
Ye Qingzhou pulled up the attribute panel and looked at it, and found that after a period of recovery, his spirit returned to 30 points.
You can cast Shikigami once.
"I can only last about 3 minutes, you can try it."
Ye Qingzhou licked his tongue, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Then try it, race against death!" ”
No longer hesitating, Ye Qingzhou directly cast the Shishen & White Tiger, and in an instant, the phantom of the White Tiger behind him flashed away.
In an instant, Ye Qingzhou felt that his body was light, as if he was not bound by the earth.
As soon as he flashed, he reached the next stone, picked up his hammer, and smashed it hard.
"Bang-"
With a muffled thunder in the sky, the stone shattered completely.
In the distance, Carl and the others were also attracted by this sound, and they stopped and looked back.
Then they saw a scene that they would never forget.
In a sea of fire, accompanied by lightning falling, a figure ran in it, holding a tool hammer in his hand, as if smashing something.
"Oh my God, why did it suddenly catch fire?"
"Is the guy inside the boss, what is he doing?"
"He's playing with his life, is he crazy?"
A group of people watched this scene in disbelief and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Carl said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, call the fire department, let's go in and save people!" ”
Only then did everyone react, and someone began to take out their mobile phones to make calls.
Carl was going to pull a few people to rescue Ye Qingzhou in the sea of fire.
However, at this moment, two figures came outside the forest.
"FBI agent, have you ever seen this teenager?"
It was Wenner and Ciric.
They secretly installed a positioning device on Ye Qingzhou's phone, so they followed them all the way here.
Carl looked at the picture in Wenner's hand, stunned, and finally pointed ahead.
"Sir, the boss is right in front and trapped in the fire."
Wenner and Ciric looked over, and sure enough, they saw a figure running wildly in the sea of fire, and the speed was amazing.
"Why did it catch fire all of a sudden?" Ciric frowned.
"I—I don't know, it seems like lightning from the sky has struck the tree......" Karl said nervously.
Hearing this, Ciric's heart trembled, and his mind instantly remembered what Ye Qingzhou had said.
Death is coming!
"Go and save people!" Wenner didn't think much of it, and hurriedly said.
The people around reacted and ran forward.
"Boom-"
However, they had barely taken a few steps before a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and slammed down in front of them with a terrifying bang.
The crowd shuddered and fell to the ground.
The lightning kept falling, completely turning the front into a forbidden land!
In an instant, the fire in front of him was already raging, almost drowning the figure.
Ciric swallowed and muttered, "Death is preventing us from saving people, and it wants Ye Qingzhou's life." ”
He looked ahead, he had given up the idea of saving people, under this monstrous fire, there was no way to rescue.
"Maybe you're really an exorcist, so you can attract the Grim Reaper's wrath to kill."
A group of people sat on the ground, and could only watch the fire burn brighter and brighter.
In the sea of fire, Ye Qingzhou didn't know anything about what was happening outside, and he was still running.
He took out the picture and looked at it, muttering, "There's one last place left." ”
Based on the location of the photograph, his figure flashed rapidly, stepping over the raging fire and coming to a swamp.
On the swamp, there is a scythe-shaped boulder, which is the weapon held by the skeleton.
Without saying a word, he jumped up, picked up the tool hammer in his hand, and hammered it towards the sickle-shaped boulder.
"It's over!"
However, in the next moment, a strong yin wind blew around, and the sickle boulder on the swamp actually flew up and slashed towards Ye Qingzhou.
"Damn—"
Ye Qingzhou scolded secretly in his heart, at this time he had no way to turn back, so he could only grit his teeth and hammer towards the boulder flying over.
"Bang-"
The boulder shattered, disintegrated into pieces, and fell to the ground.
However, Ye Qingzhou was also very uncomfortable, the tiger's mouth shattered, bursting into a large area of blood, and the tool hammer flew upside down.
Shattered stones slammed down on his body, making a sound of bones shattering.
Ye Qingzhou spurted out a mouthful of blood, which seemed to have some broken internal organs.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into the sea of fire, and was swallowed by the sea of fire in an instant!
Ye Qingzhou's face was hideous, retaining the last consciousness, and he shouted frantically in his heart: "Return!" ”
"Buzz—"
A ripple of space swept through, and Ye Qingzhou's figure completely disappeared into this world.
