Chapter Seventy-Six: Detonation
Wan Qi grabbed Joseph's collar and roared loudly, while Zhao Chensi watched all this happen with a vacant gaze like a bystander.
Anger is produced by adrenaline, which is a biological response to stress, and is a warning of an approaching threat...... Wan Qi is afraid, warning the other party, trying to put on an offensive posture to intimidate the other party.
It seems that there is no way to calm down in a short period of time.
Emotionally and emotionally, Zhao Chensi has not yet come out of the mental trauma of witnessing the death of an acquaintance, but the wonderful thing is that even if he receives this kind of blow, this kind of mental stimulation, reason can forcibly keep his brain calm, even almost cold thinking.
So he saw through the true emotions hidden behind Wanqi's anger at a glance.
Then Zhao Chensi's eyes rolled, and he glanced blankly at Yang Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
The psychological defense line has been crushed by excessive fear, and she doesn't even have the ability to think normally, her emotions are easily affected by the outside world, and she basically can't regulate herself, and then she is already thankful that she doesn't add to the chaos......
The more emotionally difficult it is to accept, the more Zhao Chensi feels that he thinks calmly, rationally, and without any emotion or subjective bias.
This charred corpse was a living girl ten minutes ago, and this girl was talking and laughing with herself more than ten hours ago, and the girl she had just met a day or two ago turned into charcoal on the spot under a blazing light that fell from the sky.
Until now, he couldn't emotionally accept Shi Yu's death, and until now he still felt that Shi Yu's death was so unreal.
But the reality is that Shi Yu is dead. The little girl who wears round glasses, greets people with a smile, looks and has a physique like a junior high school student, can't come back. She had turned into a blackened, shrunken corpse, curled up in front of her like a baby.
The impermanence of reality made Zhao Chensi feel an indescribable chill and pressure, and he wanted to shout loudly to express the pressure and fear accumulated in his heart, but he couldn't do this kind of thing at all.
The huge sense of separation seemed to divide him into two completely different souls coexisting in one body, and no matter how many emotions were accumulated in his heart, he could not express them, so he could only think and analyze the problem involuntarily and coldly.
Thinking to escape from reality......
Shi Yu's body began to deteriorate dramatically after coughing out the smoke violently...... However, coughing has been a symptom of Shiyu and Manki, both of whom vomited out the undead worms in their bodies under Joseph's beating, and the latter also recovered after expelling the undead worms, which should theoretically not be the case with Shiyu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chensi looked at it, and in his heart, his hand was not slow at all and quietly reached the offering table, took down the Xuanjun Yonglu Sutra, and while flipping through it, he reviewed the experience since he came to Changsheng Village in his mind, and pulled out the doubts worthy of attention.
Originally originated from the mountain top stream, the method of immortality, a secret realm that only the immortal can enter, slashing the immortal sword......
That's all the information revealed in the Xuanjun Eternal Travel Sutra, but it can be seen between the lines that the Xuanjun Daoist left the method of immortality after careful consideration, at least he arranged a retreat in advance for these alien villagers who had obtained immortality, and at the same time left a sword that could cut off immortality, so that they could live the rest of their lives when they were disheartened, and they didn't have to bear the pain of eternal life and eternal calamity......
The water of the source of the mountain stream, Zhao Chensi searched his memory, and immediately remembered the supernatural rumor called the 'ghost river' in Changsheng Village.
The water of life that the villagers of Changsheng Village relied on for survival in the past, including the groundwater taken from the hand-pressed wells and the streams that pass through the north and east of Changsheng Village, may be related to the method of immortality mentioned by the Xuanjun Daoists.
Later, it may be that the flesh and blood essence of the Xuanjun Dao people no longer has the effect of immortality, and the water source of the source of the mountain stream began to dry up, and the entire village only spread the names of most of the residents in the village of immortality, as well as legends about immortality. The truth and the speculation of posterity are mixed with each other, and eventually it becomes a supernatural rumor that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
In fact, before he really saw the transcendent power, Zhao Chensi would definitely not think about this aspect, but after seeing the existence of the power beyond common sense, he quickly adapted to adding this new variable to his thinking, and also included the possibility of the transcendent realm in his thinking.
It may also ...... The long-lasting streams have never dried up, but they have migrated to the inner part of the secret realm with the villagers who have gained immortality, and then staged a realistic version of the Peach Blossom Fountain to those who strayed into this place, making them eat the undead insects and turn them into their own kind under the pretext of inviting them to dinner......
An inexplicable thought popped up in Zhao Chensi's mind, but soon he felt as if something was wrong.
This strange sense of disobedience made him immediately start to work backwards from his previous memory, from the relevant general impressions to the specific details, little by little, to analyze, think, and re-check whether there was anything missing.
Crossing the peach forest to a paradise-like secret place...... Meet the unfriendly old man...... They were led around the village by the seemingly enthusiastic village chief, and finally feasted on them for dinner......
Wait a minute!
Shi Yu's initial cough symptoms were not after eating! She was already coughing before she even had a meal!
She's not the same as Wanqi's cough! It's not because of the meal!
This information exploded in Zhao Chensi's mind like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he felt that his brain was already running rapidly.
What does this mean? This means that in addition to the undead insects that can mix into the food, there may be other deadly things in the village......
What did you do when you were hurt by that old man? Or when bandaging and applying medicine in the village? The fog that Shi Yu coughed up was a bit similar to the fog in the peach forest...... Air? Could it be that there is also a problem with the air in Changsheng Village!
Zhao Chensi carefully recalled everything Shi Yu and everything they had come into contact with since they came to the secret realm, but the more he recalled, the more desperate and cold he felt.
His lungs and throat had begun to itch, and a terrifying guess had risen in his heart as he coughed uncontrollably.
They...... There may be no way to escape alive......
Here, Wan Qi was still scolding Joseph.
The ruined temple echoed the young man's angry roar for a long time, he wantonly vented the fear and vigilance of the threat in his heart, and even in Zhao Chensi's opinion, he was already a little hysterical after losing control of his emotions, and the look on Joseph's face gradually changed from the previous guilt to solemnity.
The atmosphere became more and more tense unconsciously, as if something was brewing, as if there was a haze growing in their hearts.
Zhao Chensi vaguely felt that the string in everyone's spirit had been stretched to the limit, and the air was full of the smell of gunpowder, as long as there was a little bit of spark, it would completely detonate this tense atmosphere.
"I can't take it anymore!" Finally, Yang Xin's scream of collapse pushed the atmosphere in the broken temple to the top!
Even though the long legs were still trembling, she still ran to the offering table in a few steps and picked up the sheathed long sword on the table, and unsheathed the long sword with a bang: "You killed her!" You killed her!! You're still trying to kill me!! The sword body exuded a forest of blood, reflecting a strange red glow, reflecting Yang Xin's eyes were also scarlet and hideous, and he clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed towards Wan Qi, who was facing away from her.
