Chapter 17: The scorching sun is scorching, waiting for the sunset
A low-level assassin/wizard with a double part-time job, it is very difficult to take the lead in front of a single-minded and high-explosive profession like Zhu Peng, especially from the night he entered the stone temple to this time, Zhu Peng's magic position has been reset, he turns on the "Berserk Technique" and then superimposes the attribute bonus of "Crazy Killing Intent", and has an instantaneous explosive power that is close to a high-level legendary assassin within a minute.
Although Morpheus shot the Flame Fire Bullet that he had been pinching in his hand as a hole card, the eruption of this single body made the Frost Ancient Worm howl again and again, and it was Zhu Peng who held the Dark Fire Fangs upside down, ran up from his back, and crossed his hands with two swords to kill with one blow!
With Zhu Peng's volley turning over and landing, yellow-green demon blood sprayed, and the corpse of the giant insect of the legendary Great Demon rank finally fell to the ground.
(Ahhhh
"After a tough battle, your skills have improved. ”
"Archery +2 (Combo), Archery +1 (Rapid Fire), One-Handed Weapon +2 (Piercing), One-Handed Weapon +2 (Slash), One-Handed Weapon +1 (Whirlwind)...... Dodge (Move) +2, Dodge (Roll) +2......"
"Gain Class Specialty: One-Handed Weapon Mastery (60+Mastery) ......"
This world's martial arts system is basically divided into: one-handed, two-handed, long-ranged, even if Zhu Peng is dual-wielding, it is also considered to be one-handed single-wielding in this world system, and two-handed martial arts refer to a series of weapons that must require both hands to complete the control.
"Whew!" Exhaling lightly, Zhu Peng opened his eyes only to find that the companions around him looked at him and Morpheus with somewhat strange eyes, these people were not stupid at all, and the performance of himself and Morpheus snatching the head just now had been faintly noticed by them.
"I'm sorry, can you give me as much as possible to kill this kind of monster in the future? I am a disciple of His Majesty Dinnar, and the killing and blood are always by my side. As soon as Zhu Peng's words came out, except for the warrior monk Arthur, who was not emotionally out, Sakura and York's faces showed a look of relief, because this explanation was really flawless. It turned out to be a believer in killing the side gods, so the special kill would indeed bring benefits to it.
"For that, I'm willing to pay a third of my gains in the team. ”
"Why! I also need some Killing Souls to hone the secret technique, I won't let you. "Morpheus has just been snatched by Zhu Peng, and he is gritting his teeth with hatred at this moment.
"Then you don't want the third, but give it to the other brothers. As for you and me, each according to his ability. As the final winner of the battle just now, Zhu Peng smiled mockingly, and then he turned and walked deeper into the canyon.
After the undead's frost ancient worm was killed, the other undead in the entire underground canyon had already fallen into a state of low attack, unless Zhu Peng and the others approached a certain range of them, otherwise these undead would no longer be so clear enough to attack the adventurer team. Although the undead hate the living, their perception is still not high after all, and in addition, they have killed a lot before, and the density of the undead in the entire underground canyon has become very low.
........................
The glorious light of holiness pierced the altar shrouded in darkness and death like a spear from heaven.
The brown-haired, linen-clothed, thin, barefoot ascetic sword saint holds a long sword of the most ordinary style, and suppresses the ancient god Anu who descended into the world in the form of a saint in the front.
The seemingly ordinary one-handed sword in his hand collided with the incomparably beautiful, gem-encrusted golden spear, but it was the golden spear that was scarred and defeated.
On top of the most ordinary sword weapons, there is the most brilliant sword light.
Because the person who wields the sword is the papal ace "Bright Sword Saint" Ducius, and it is also because the sword he holds is the "Pale Justice" who is qualified to compete for the status of the strongest weapon in the world.
Just now, it was the combination of this person and a sword, which made the ancient god Anu thousands of divine guards unstoppable, he swept as a sword qi ball of light, and the moment he swung the sword, there was a holy light piercing down on the sky, like the eye of the god king, looking down on the world.
In the face of the cosmic storm, there is still strength left at this moment, and there is only the Lord of Light, who is almost the strongest main god of the human god system, and this big guy has the strength to introduce power into the world even at this moment.
Of course, after he falls into the world, I'm afraid the situation will not be very good, over the years, the Lord of Light has made countless enemies, the Endless Abyss, the Ninefold Purgatory, the Orc God System, the Elemental Plane, and even the Elf God System, there is almost nothing he has not provoked, when you are the boss of the Heavenly Realm, everyone dare not provoke you can only bow your head and grit your teeth and endure, after a few years, the gods will fall into the world, and gods like the Lord of Light will almost inevitably be beaten.
It's just that, at least for now, the Lord of Light is still one of the strongest gods in the Heavenly Realm, and the Light Sword Saint Ducius, under the infusion and strengthening of his power, moves his sword vertically and horizontally, completely suppressing Anu.
The reason why he can carry the power of the gods behind him at this moment is because he has an ordinary long sword in his hand, as long as he can hold this sword, it is equivalent to obtaining the status of a saint in the world.
Pale Justice, Weight: Five pounds, medium-sized one-handed sword, unpretentious in appearance and indestructible in edge, it is the supreme sword regarded as an artifact by the Holy See of Light, although it is only an epic divine weapon from the perspective of the wizarding world, but it does not hinder its exaggerated power and great symbolism.
This simple-looking sword of the gods, from a devout believer who became famous with a noble priest, is the best proof that "justice is pale and humble, but it is by no means powerless".
The Death Power Spear, which was inlaid with various gems and peerless treasures, shattered and collapsed inch by inch under the endless power of this sharp sword, and Anu himself, the god of death of the desert, was seriously injured in an instant by the sword qi slashed by Ducius, and at the moment before he was on the verge of beheading, Anu had to release almost all of his death divine power in an instant to summon a great sandstorm that connected the heavens and the earth, and forcibly forced the combined army of the Sword Saint of Light and the Temple of Gods to retreat.
(Damn Lord of Light, I won't die, there must be a turnaround...... I'm not going to die. Holding one hand to his chest, blood like black oil flowed down the cracks of the gorgeous golden armor, and Anu gasped and fled back to the temple in the rapid weakening, but he also knew very well in his heart that when the power of the cathartic death god power was completely exhausted, he would no longer have the strength to stop the advance of the gods alliance.
And on the other side of the great sandstorm, with a round of pure white light gates appeared, the long-haired Mai, thin and barefoot, but the bright sword saint Ducius walked out of it.
And those who flocked to greet him from all directions were almost all the high-ranking nobles and battlefield commanders in Jinhe City.
"Whole army, the false god has been severely wounded by me, and under the divine power of my lord, the light will surely purify this unclean land shrouded in death and shadow. With Ducius's whispering, the coalition troops who could hear him spit out every word began to cheer and roar, and their morale soared.
At the same time, a hammer suddenly appeared on the originally flat stone wall deep underground, and the wall was gradually smashed open.
After twists and turns, the adventurer team finally smashed through layers of stone walls and blockages according to the route map given by Morpheus, and successfully found the crack in the ground leading to the Temple of Death.
Because this shows that the two sides are fighting fiercely above, even the god of death of the desert should not be able to pay attention to his lair entering several thieves in this situation.
I don't know if it's because of a coincidence, or because Morpheus's route is really well chosen, in short, he just sneaked into the Temple of Death, and what he saw was a mountain of gold, precious stones, ivory mahogany, and such a huge amount of wealth was piled up in one place, even Zhu Peng felt dizzy for a moment, let alone his companions beside him.
In a moment, after everyone reacted.
The five adventurers rushed to the pile of treasures in front of them to search and choose, and in this environment, such as gold was the most common and cheapest trophy, and all kinds of gems that were more portable and far more valuable than gold became favored treasures.
Zhu Peng himself has the skills of a high-level appraiser, he can even do the most difficult equipment identification, and there is no problem with the identification of lower-level gemstones, and he can basically judge which works of art are relatively the most valuable with a sweep, plus he has a space bag hidden in his body, he reached out and grabbed a handful of gems and disappeared between his hands, while everyone else was also trying their best to pick up and identify, no one noticed his small movements.
"Ahh Including Zhu Peng, everyone was carrying a big package, which was full of gold, stones, pearls, and enchanted equipment, as long as they could successfully return, everyone would return with a full load this time.
(Hey, do you have anything else to do?) We've gained enough this time, and it's enough to turn all of this wealth into strength, which is enough for us to hit the legend.) )
(...... Forget it, even if Anu is lucky enough, I didn't expect to enter the treasure vault as soon as I entered, and now Arthur and Sakura Fury have no intention of fighting, and if we force them to fight the old gods, we are all likely to die here. The most terrible robbers are the most terrible, and the robbers who have a good harvest have at least fifty percent of their combat power dropped.
After hesitating for a moment, Morpheus finally made a wiser choice, although Zhu Peng was also curious about what killing moves she had prepared for Anu, but in the case of such a rich harvest, even he himself no longer had much fighting intent in his heart, and the possibility of forcibly trying to slaughter the god was too high.
It's just that there are many things in this world that you don't want to do, so you can't do them.
Just when the five members of the adventurer's team walked out carrying the treasure, Zhu Peng's keen sensing ability from the Dangang realm suddenly came into play again, because this advent body did not even hold Dan, so the whim ability was ineffective, but this time, the originally calm heart lake suddenly rolled up like boiling molten lava, and a large part of Dan Master's strong survival ability came from extremely keen telepathy, so Zhu Peng almost instinctively discarded the jewelry in his hand, and he slammed to the side.
It was precisely because of this unhesitation and this slamming pounce that saved Zhu Peng's life, when his body was still in mid-air, because the visual angle was just right, Zhu Peng saw a gray and distorted space enveloping Morpheus and others, with the effect of the spell, the time in that area seemed to stand still in an instant, and then a tall figure with golden armor but embarrassed and weak covered his chest walked in, his eyes looked at Zhu Peng deeply, and then began to wave his left hand that could still move to cast spells.
Divine Power Transformation Mode: "Legendary Spell, Time Stands Still." "Pick" the legendary spell to death wither. ”
Zhu Peng flicked up, and without hesitation, he threw the fanged short sword in his left sleeve forward, and the assassination sword that lingered in the dark fire pierced straight into the chest of the golden armorer, but his second spell had already been played simultaneously, and he maintained a fixed posture for five seconds, right in front of Zhu Peng:
Morpheus, Arthur, Sakura, and Yorkeff, these four people grew old in an instant, then quickly turned into rotten bones, and finally even disintegrated into scattered ashes, as if in an instant, their area had passed a thousand years.
(, as a god, you TM play sneak attack!?)
Roaring wildly in his heart, Morpheus probably never dreamed that he hadn't even been able to stand in front of the gods for half a minute, and he had already been taken away by someone hiding in the shadows.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would not happen, unless it is to challenge the gods of shadow and assassination, otherwise in the face of a group of mortals, the attitude of the gods is often to sit on the throne, support the side of the cheek with one hand, and look down on the ridiculous ants below being crushed to death one by one.
And as long as she gets a chance to make a shot, Morpheus can come up with a killer weapon to kill the other party directly, and after her repeated deductions, its success rate is very high, but she has missed a little bit, and the god of death in the desert, Anu, is no longer the noble and proud god of thousands of years ago.
Wandering in the astral grave for thousands of years and struggling to survive, he has already worn away his arrogance as a god, if it is in his heyday, Anu may still have the mind to show off, after all, prestige is also an important part of the god's faith, but at this moment, Anu has just been cut down by the Sword Saint of Light, and under his extreme weakness, he is now just trying to survive, as for the majesty of the god of death...... That kind of thing only needs to be talked about on the premise of being able to live.
Zhu Peng rushed towards the ancient god Anu according to his last dark fire fang, and the more he distanced himself from this group of guys with infinite heritage, the more time he delayed, the more he had no chance of winning.
However, in the face of the tragic and irreversible sword momentum of the mortal in front of him, Anu, who was seriously injured and almost dead, slapped out a palm, and the moment the palm touched the blade, Anu's body turned into yellow sand and rolled up to Zhu Peng's body, accompanied by a huge force that he could not resist at this moment, Zhu Peng's body was thrown upside down, and he fell heavily on the stone wall behind him, and then fell to the ground.
Supporting his body, he shook off the yellow sand around him and struggled to stand up, but in addition to the corpse ashes all over the ground in front of Zhu Peng's eyes, where was the existence of the Golden Armor Ancient God?
(It's too unlikely to escape, but it won't come out and kill me...... With some speculation in his mind, Zhu Peng gradually moved his gaze to the back of his left hand, where a round of quaint and mysterious golden triangle badges emerged.
Zhu Peng, who suddenly understood what was coming, exhaled lightly, and then he quickly put the treasures dropped by Morpheus and them into the space bag, only taking these, and then Zhu Peng didn't even look at the other golden mountains and seas in the temple, and quickly escaped from the temple of death.
In a hurry, even Zhu Peng didn't notice that among the ashes and ashes of Morpheus's corpse, a small snake with silver red eyes crawled out, and it watched Zhu Peng's back as he escaped from the temple, and the crimson snake pupils revealed the wisdom and emotions of a human being. This is the real killer move that Morpheus prepared for Anu, but unfortunately she didn't even get a chance to use it.
Two days later, all of Anu's death divine power was exhausted, the super sandstorm that connected the heavens and the earth dissipated, and the alliance of the gods drove into the temple of death without hindrance, reaping huge wealth, however, Anun, the god of death in the desert, was nowhere to be found, although the three outer layers of the Bright Sword Saint Ducius almost demolished half of the temple, he did not succeed in finding the whereabouts of the seriously injured god.
........................
Along the tunnel of the underground canyon, Zhu Peng had already run on a camel, and he didn't look back.
As a spy shadow wizard, Zhu Peng didn't know that he had been parasitized by the ancient god Anu, and the other party could launch a seizure to replace his soul anytime and anywhere, but he and the ancient god Anu fought a few rounds on the battlefield with their bodies, and there was still a lot of life, if they fell into the hands of the Bright Sect or surrendered, it was equivalent to putting his neck under the guillotine and waiting for the other party to kill.
Zhu Peng didn't think that the Holy See of Light would take many gentle methods to take out the ancient god Anu on the premise of ensuring his own life.
Riding a camel and running back, the supplies of the original five people are now used by one person, which makes Zhu Peng feel a little apologetic, no matter what, after all, he is the only one who survived, no matter how the other four guys are entangled in love and hate, grievances and grievances, now they have become one, and they are inseparable from each other.
Bonfires, the desert at night.
Surrounded by the remaining big camels, Zhu Peng rode ten by himself, changed horses, and ran to Jinhe City at his fastest speed, but every day when it was time to rest, Zhu Peng also came down directly, cooked food and chewed a lot, and let himself not go out of the business trip pool in terms of sleep and food.
(The desert is Anu's home field, he will definitely launch a soul attack before I leave the desert, otherwise as soon as I leave here, I will turn my head and run to the sea, and I will never set foot in the desert again in this life, his strength will decay day by day, the desert death in the desert and the desert death in the sea are not a strength level at all, before I arrive in Jinhe City, whether he is ready or not, Anu has no choice.) While stuffing food into his mouth, he pondered, even in this case, Zhu Peng's own hand concoction in the food was still very mellow, and even attracted the camel next to him to stretch their necks and call, Zhu Peng put the rest of the thick porridge into the mouth of a nearby camel, and then patted its big head.
On the fifth day, when Zhu Peng was less than a hundred miles away from Jinhe City, he suddenly tilted his head without warning, fell off the back of the camel he was riding, and fell into the rolling yellow sand, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep.
After getting along for a few days, the ten camels seemed to recognize Zhu Peng as their master, and they called twice around the man who was lying unconscious in the yellow sand, and then sat down around him, shielding Zhu Peng from the wind and sand and even the blazing sun on all sides.
When Zhu Peng came to his senses again, he found that he was already in a vast desert, with the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and the gold-like yellow gravel piled up layer by layer, finally forming a magnificent scene like a sea of yellow sand.
"If you don't have a creative mind, I knew you would make a desert to fix me. You die, this kind of mental illusion similar to sharpening the mind, I can't lose, if you die early, we will save time. Zhu Peng shook his head with a smile, and then he chose a direction and strode forward.
The boundless sea of sand, high temperatures, scorching sun, death and desperation, what a terrifying and terrifying mental world, but for Zhu Peng, it is really not how terrifying and terrifying, because horror comes from the unknown, and Zhu Peng knows very well that the current Anu has no way to kill himself.
Taoism is called relinquishing, the wizard world is called advent, and the world of gods calls this secret method of soul transfer advent or reincarnation, the former is the god descending on the saint he has cultivated for many years and walking in the world, this kind of saint cannot be cultivated at all, and it is also possible to meet and seek for the gods.
The latter is often the abyss demon god who predicts his death, spreads a large number of blood descendants in the human world, and then uses various designs and secret methods to obtain his own new life in the most powerful heir.
Zhu Peng is not a saint of Anu, nor is he a blood descendant of the Desert Death, Anu has no other choice at all, forcibly reincarnated in Zhu Peng's body, and the success rate is ...... Even if he succeeds by luck, the existence of the two souls that are finally combined after fierce fighting may not be Zhu Peng or Anu.
(At this moment, I am him, he is me, in this long sea of sand, if my will collapses first, he can naturally occupy the magpie's nest and control my body with his own will, but in the same way, he will not and cannot kill me at all, my death is equivalent to his death, consume it, this kind of opportunity to cultivate the pure yang immortal heart is not rare.) Trekking through this long sea of sand, there seems to be no day or night, the sun in the sky is always hovering for a long time, there are not even vultures in the blue sky, and the whole world is a desperate silence.
The camera zooms in, his clothes are gradually ragged, and Zhu Peng, who is gradually weakening, is walking and moving forward in it, not blindly moving forward with his head down, Zhu Peng is also judging the direction, he interprets according to the overall direction of the wind blowing the sand dunes, insensitive, and empty consciousness, these states of consciousness that lack subjective personal color are favorable opportunities for Anu to take advantage of the void, and must keep thinking, maintain a firm self, and maintain a strong will, which is the self-proof of the moment.
Although he knew that this desert was illusory, Zhu Peng still regarded it as a real world to move forward and explore.
I don't know how many roads I have walked, how long time has passed, Zhu Peng's physical energy is passing, his body is shriveled, his leather robe is broken, and even the sound of friction between bones is gradually becoming clear and audible, and he doesn't even need to look in the mirror, Zhu Peng also knows that at this moment, he may have become like a dried corpse.
(Half a month or ten months, half a year or many years...... How long have I been in this world...... It can't be many years, and the remnants of Anu must not be enough to sustain it for too long. A corpse-like figure walked in the desert, and he didn't look at the branches that could support his body, and he didn't look at the phantom of an oasis in the distance.
In this world of mental imagery, picking up a branch means the weakness of one's own will, indulging in the shade of the sand sea oasis, it is a compromise with the god of death in the desert, no matter how miserable his state is, Anu cannot kill himself, this Zhu Peng can be sure, the soul confrontation, not with a knife against the other party's throat, wiped over and over, in fact, it is more like a long-distance marathon with two people and no end, until one side collapses and falls.
Zhu Peng did not give himself any room and opportunity to relax, so that Anu had to suffer with him, and the final victor would kill everything, and the soul defeated would have nothing.
If Anu wins, it may also be combined with part of Zhu Peng's soul to become a new soul, Zhu Peng wins, all of Anu's soul will be turned into his nourishment, and the knowledge will be filled into the soul library, because at least in this body, Zhu Peng occupies the home advantage.
(After all, I am also a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and there is a huge gap between the soul and the body...... Otherwise, that guy wouldn't have infiltrated so easily, and it would have seen my problem and would have chosen to make a last stand, right?)
During this period, because of the extreme pain of the slow disintegration of the body, Zhu Peng's mind also had thoughts such as "misjudgment", "never-ending illusion", "I am dead", etc., but in the blink of an eye, he was forcibly suppressed by himself with the pure yang heart method, and he didn't mind much about it.
Self-doubting, self-denial, self-slackness, even the gods.
Because Zhu Peng knows very well that even the transcendent throne will have a situation of "self-consumption", although the transcendent throne in the wizarding world is high, it is much closer than the distance between mortals and gods in the world of gods, and it is almost impossible for living mortals to face the gods directly, because gods need the mystery and oppression generated by distance in their lives, and even a transcendent throne needs to hire some demigods and even legends to fight for themselves, especially some super-large-scale experiments.
The transcendent throne will doubt itself, which will lead to self-consumption, Zhu Peng will also, then Anu will also, in the face of these self-depleting moods, it is not necessary to entangle and fight with them, since he is a spear and a fast horse, direct suppression, not to say that the emotion of "self-doubt" has no value and meaning, on the contrary, it is even an important support for reflection and progress.
However, in a state of battle, it is meaningless, instant judgment, instant decision-making, and then firm self, analogy with the human body, a country in a state of war, too much freedom of speech is the weakening of its own combat power, choose a correct target in the general direction, and then allocate all resources to rush over to crush, this is the operation mechanism of the pure yang immortal heart, even if it is defeated, at least more than ninety-five percent of its own resources will be exhausted.
In the real world, in the desert, Zhu Peng lay on his back in the camel enclosure, spending about two days or so, the divine mark on the back of his left hand was gradually fading into nothingness, and the game system generated by essentia energy mimicry was frantically popping up information one by one:
