Chapter 22: A Difficult Choice
The three of them quickly cleaned up the valuable things on the giant python, and the smell of blood spread far away.
Thirty kilometers away, a giant bear about five meters tall sniffled and quickly ran in the direction of Lu Dong and the others.
Twenty kilometers away, a giant eagle with a wingspan of about eight meters in the air quickly swept in the direction of Lu Dong and the others.
Deep in the jungle of the northeast, a pack of wolves the size of calves are also sniffing around. Quickly approached the direction of Lu Dong and others.
In about half an hour, Lu Dong and the others crossed the river, quickly ran into the jungle, and found a low valley with their backs against the cliff to hide.
Wu Ming and Wu Xin sat on the side, staring at Lu Dong and Xiao Nannan, and their eyes kept wandering on the two of them.
"Alright! All right! Why are you staring at us like that? If you have any questions, just ask? Lu Dong said helplessly
"Who the hell is she?" Wu Ming asked Lu Dong
"Why did her fingernails grow out all of a sudden, and why are those sharp nails missing now?" Wu Xin asked worriedly
"She is the Corpse Emperor," Lu Dong said helplessly
"Corpse...... Corpse Emperor? Wu Ming and Wu Xin asked in unison?
"I only found out at my residence, when she did something big. So I immediately told you to leave the fortress. If we're still in the fortress, we're pretty much dead by now, right? Lu Dong said
"What's the big deal?" Wu Ming and the two asked
"She used her spiritual ability to control Lin Tiannan's subordinates, and ordered them to go back and sneak attack Lin Tiannan, and Lin Tiannan was seriously injured and died frequently." Lu Dong said
"What?" Wu Ming and Wu Xin were surprised
"That's right, that's just the way it is. That's why I'm asking everyone to get out of the fortress as soon as possible. Lu Dong said with a smile
"Wait, you let me do it first," Wu Ming said, rubbing his forehead
First the corpse emperor and then let people abolish Lin Tiannan, what the hell is going on? Wu Ming thought in shock
"Think about it! It really has nothing to do with you, even if you go back. I don't blame you, but I think you'll have trouble going back. I'll take it with me. Even if the whole world can't tolerate her. After Lu Dong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Nannan.
Xiao Nannan knew that they were discussing themselves, so she hurriedly looked straight at the three of them, and saw Lu Dong coming over and hurriedly greeted them.
"Brother, don't you want to be a girl?" Xiao Nannan asked anxiously
"Brother won't be unwanted, don't worry." Lu Dong said firmly
"Well, I believe in my brother, by the way, brother, this is for you!" Xiao Nannan said and handed the black bead to Lu Dong
Lu Dong picked up the black bead and observed it carefully, he was in too much of a hurry just now to observe the black bead. I saw that the black bead was full of energy, and the energy converged into a miniature version of a giant python swimming around in the bead.
"This bead is so strange, the energy inside will converge into a python inside. What's the use? Lu Dong thought suspiciously
"Brother, what are you thinking? Are you wondering what this bead does? Xiao Nannan said to Lu Dong
"Uh-huh, do you know what this bead is for?" Lu Dong asked at Xiao Nannan
"Well, we all swallowed it directly." Xiao Nannan said to Lu Dong
"Swallow, swallow?" Lu Dong couldn't help but swallow his saliva
"Yes! We just swallowed it. You can usually absorb the energy inside, and if you're lucky, you can get new skills. Xiao Nannan said seriously
"Uh...... Brother thinks about it first. Lu Dong said hesitantly
"Well, you can think about it, but the more time passes, the harder it is to digest the energy inside. Brother, you have to think about it as soon as possible. Xiao Nannan said
"Why?" Lu Dong asked strangely
"Because the energy inside has not yet solidified, it will slowly solidify after a long time." Xiao Nannan said
"Well, there's that condition, but it's tempting to get an ability? Damn, it's really hard to choose. Do you want to give it a go? Lu Dong thought excitedly.
Forget it! You can also slowly become stronger in the future, and there is no need to take such a risk.
Just as Lu Dong was struggling with whether to swallow the black bead, Wu Ming and Wu Xin walked over.
"We have decided to go with you, and we are confident that you will not harm us. Ordinary days go by for a long time, and getting more and more comfortable will only make us weaker and weaker, and we want to be stronger, so strong that no one can threaten us. Wu Ming said solemnly to Lu Dong
"If you don't betray me, I won't let you down. We will get stronger and stronger until we are at the top of this world. Lu Dong replied solemnly
At this time, Lu Dong seemed to have something more in his heart? But if you don't notice it carefully, you still can't feel it, and if you insist on saying something more, that is, Lu Dong's mood has changed, and he is no longer doing nothing like before, and he has to get by. And there is an additional responsibility, the responsibility of leading the people to become stronger. There is an extra kind of concern, and it is no longer the same as before, and it is no longer the same as before, and it is not concerned about death. Because there was no concern before, no one would be sad when they died. It's different now, with a nominal sister and two trusted friends.
"Well, we believe you, let's go! Start our journey to strength. Wu Ming continued
The three of them and one corpse once again embarked on the journey to the Dragon God Fortress, and after about an hour or so, Xiao Nannan began to remind everyone again.
"There's something following us, and there seem to be quite a few of them." Xiao Nannan said with a frown
"I feel it too, as if there are two strands, one in the sky and one behind us." Lu Dong said solemnly
"Heaven and behind? Could it be the chasing soldiers sent by the Lin family? Wu Ming then asked
"So what do we do? Can you beat it? Wu Xin said nervously
"Probably not, because both breaths have the smell of mutant beasts. Let's disperse and hide first," Lu Dong finished speaking, and directly ordered everyone to separate and hide
After about half an hour, a pack of wolves the size of calves appeared in front of everyone, and the wolves moved slowly, sniffing as they went. ran straight to Lu Dong and the others.
Lu Dong's face changed and said, "Damn, they seem to be looking for us?" Didn't the smell of blood on our bodies be cleaned up long before we crossed the river? ”
"That's right! It stands to reason that it is impossible to catch up, and there must be something going on that that we don't know about. Wu Ming continued
"Maybe it's not chasing us? Are they just passing by? Wu Xin said a little uncertainly
"I think they're coming for us, brother." Xiao Nannan said to Lu Dong
"Hmm...... Do you know why they follow us? Lu Dong asked strangely
"Uh-huh, they should be chasing the black bead. Because if they swallow that bead, they may break through the current level and evolve into a more powerful existence. The little girl replied
"I'll rub it, won't it? The beads don't seem to smell like they come out, huh? Lu Dong said with a little disbelieving
"They have a way of finding the smell of beads anyway!" Xiao Nannan said
"What beads are you talking about?" Wu Ming and Wu Xin looked at Lu Dong curiously
"No, it's this black bead, you can get energy if you swallow it directly, and you have a chance to get ability." Lu Dong took out the black bead in his backpack and handed it to Wu Ming
"Where did this thing come from? It can't be the dragon ball in the python's body, right? Wu Ming took the bead and looked at it, and said in surprise when he saw a python-like pattern on it
"It's not Dragon Ball, is it? At most, it's a snake bead. Lu Dong said with a roll of his eyes
Just as Lu Dong took out the bead, the huge eagle in the sky swooped down directly, and the wolves in the jungle also stirred, accelerating towards Lu Dong and the others.
"They're coming, brother." Xiao Nannan said and directly emitted her huge spiritual power
"Damn, how do you fight so much?" Wu Ming jumped up and directly put his guns in his hands. Wu Xin quickly waved his hands, and the surrounding vines and plants quickly spun around everyone. became a giant plant egg.
Lu Dong also slowly pulled out the Tang knife, his eyes staring tightly at the position of the sky, and a small black dot slowly became larger. A giant eagle appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Whew......" The wolves that quickly pounced on Lu Dong and the others were oppressed by Xiao Nannan's mental coercion, and they were all caught off guard. Bang bang ...... fell to the ground.
Can only whine...... The giant eagle in the sky also quickly stopped its swooping posture, stopped in the air and flapped its wings, hesitating.
There are no king-level mutant beasts in the wolf pack, only one wolf king is considered a top-level mutant beast, and the eagle in the sky is a king-level evolutionary, and it is about to evolve into a king-level beast.
Everyone quickly analyzed their opponents, the wolf pack did not have king-level mutant beasts, but they were numerous. And they don't have to deal with this black bead. But the giant eagle is more troublesome! It's certainly not going to leave on its own.
"Be careful, use your spiritual power to control the wolf king, and let the wolf king lead the wolves away. We're focused on the big guy in the sky. Lu Dong quickly commanded
"Whew......" The wolf king howled, and the wolves quickly withdrew, and then disappeared from everyone's sight. And the giant eagle in the sky hovered above everyone's heads.
"Looks like this flat-haired beast isn't going to let us go!" Lu Dong said with a wry smile
"Are we in a hurry here?" Wu Ming continued
"What else do you want? Kill it? Or drive away? Lu Dong said helplessly
"Uh...... If only I had an anti-materiel sniper rifle! Just knock it down. Wu Ming said
"Forget it, it didn't rush down directly, which means that it is very jealous of us. It won't dare to attack us for a while, all we have to do is find a suitable place to get rid of it," Lu Dong said to everyone
"But it can sense the presence of black beads, and it will always follow us." Xiao Nannan said
"Is there any way to hide the scent of the beads?" Lu Dong asked Xiao Nannan
"Unless you swallow it, brother, it won't be able to feel it in your stomach!" A hint of purity flashed in Xiao Nannan's eyes
"Even if we give the beads to the big guy up there, it won't let us go. I have no choice but to fight. You help me guard it, and I'll swallow the beads. After Lu Dong finished speaking, he swallowed the black beads directly into his mouth. The rest of the crowd quickly stood guard.
The black beads entered Lu Dong's mouth and went directly down his throat to his stomach, but Lu Dong did not react.
"Hmm...... Doesn't seem to have any reaction? Lu Dong looked at Xiao Nannan suspiciously
"It may be that after a long time, the energy has begun to solidify." Xiao Nannan replied
"Alright! So it won't be chasing us anymore, right? After Lu Dong finished speaking, he looked up at the giant eagle.
I saw that the giant eagle circled twice, and then flew away.
