Chapter 18: Stalemate, in the Mist
"Gollum!"
When the huge body swelled to a height of 100 meters, it finally stopped......
And with a soul-shaking roar, all the eyeballs on its body stared at the Lord of Time in unison.
“……”
Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Lord Shi narrowed his eyes and waited for him, but from his solemn expression, it could be seen that he was obviously not relaxed.
In the face of the "meat animal" that came from the misty world, even if he was an S-rank, he couldn't say victory or defeat lightly, and judging from his previous experience, if he was not careful, he might even fall.
It's just that what the Lord doesn't understand is that the evil god should pay a great price for forcibly descending from the fog, and this price is directly touching the spiritual source, and once it appears, it will be difficult to recover.
As for the other party, he is just a human powerhouse, although he is one of the few S-ranks, but it is not worth it at all.
After all, humanity has been in a state of suppression since the fog descended on the world twenty years ago.
Even the appearance of the Anomalous only slowed down the rate of erosion.
Today's thirty-six survival areas are barely maintained by the hard support of these S-class people.
But as time went on, their status also declined, as evidenced by the increasingly frequent pollution incidents.
Lord Shi knew very well that not only himself, but also several other S-class people also had their own problems......
And if humanity doesn't find a way to break through the fog or give birth to a new S-class before their problems completely erupt, I'm afraid that humanity will face an existential crisis again!
Judging from the current situation, this day should not be too far away, so these evil gods don't need to be in a hurry at all, they just need to wait quietly.
But now that the "meat animal" has come to the Lord of the Time against common sense, he has to suspect that the other party's target is probably not only himself!
"Could it be...... Is there anything in this third district that threatens Him? ”
Lord Shi couldn't help but think of a possibility.
And just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly found that the countless eyes on the "meat animal" began to move away from him one by one, sweeping around him, as if looking for something......
This also made Lord Shi more convinced of his guess, and thought of Zhou Qi for the first time.
"Could it be...... Zhou Qi, this kid has researched something amazing?! ”
Wrong......
He quickly dismissed the speculation.
After all, Zhou Qi is dead now, and the "meat animal" is still looking for it, obviously not Zhou Qi.
So...... What was He looking for?
At this time, doubts also appeared in the countless eyes of the "meat animal".
"Gollum?"
He clearly sensed that his newly planted mark was here, but he could not feel it clearly......
It was as if the mark had been obscured by something, and it was impossible to pinpoint the exact trace.
It made him wonder if it was the work of the One, but he really couldn't understand why the One would do such a thing.
Thinking of the scene when he was suddenly driven away, he couldn't help but wonder even more.
Who the hell ......
What do you want to do?
In this way, an S-class guardian at the pinnacle of mankind ......
and one of the masters of the misty world, the evil god "Meat Animal......
With their own doubts, at the same time, the spiritual power fluctuations that shocked the world erupted, and they fell into a stalemate......
……
……
Misty World.
In an apartment called "Changle".
Mo Bai sat in the same position as last time, gulping down the disgusting-looking polluted seeds into his mouth.
"Whoa, whoa...... It's so fragrant! ”
He sighed as he ate.
Beside Mo Bai, his mother looked at him with a smile on her face, reminding from time to time:
[Eat slowly, eat slowly, silly boy, and no one will rob you. 】
But Mobai replied vaguely:
"That's the way it is, but didn't I think that I have to improve my strength as soon as possible?"
Actually, don't look at him eating so happily now, when he just woke up this time, he sternly refused and didn't eat a bite.
The reason is very simple, he wants to stay with his mother for a while, after all, he was in a hurry last time, and before he could say anything, he returned to the real world.
Therefore, in Mo Bai's speculation, once he has eaten the contaminated seeds, he will have to go back to the real world to digest them, and he will not be able to enter the misty world until he has finished digesting them......
And he and his mother have been separated for a year, and they don't want to be so short and hurried every time they meet.
So, no matter how his mother persuaded him, Mo Bai just didn't eat it, even if the middle-aged woman held a kitchen knife on his neck, he would rather die, because he knew that as long as his mother didn't say anything to remind him, then he was probably not in danger.
It wasn't until his mother told him that as long as his ability was promoted to C-level, he would be able to enter and exit the misty world freely, that he finally compromised, because he could feel that after digesting the seeds of the last time, he was not far from C-level.
"Whew-"
Exhaling in satisfaction, Mo Bai lay down in his chair.
There were five large vegetable bowls piled up in front of him, all empty.
Compared with the last time, Mo Bai's appetite can be said to have changed drastically, and he finally couldn't eat these five pots......
This also shows that his mental power has indeed increased greatly, and I believe that after digesting it this time, he will be able to be successfully promoted to C-level.
[Very good, good son, you have overfulfilled the task this time......]
Seeing Mo Bai eat so much in one go, his mother smiled with relief.
[However, you are not yet ready to leave, and you still have one more thing to do. 】
"Huh? What else? ”
Mo Bai was stunned when he heard this, looked down at his hand, and found that he didn't seem to have disappeared, and couldn't help but wonder:
"So this time, didn't you leave when you were full?"
[Of course not, last time I just let your spirit body adapt to the rules of the misty world first, and when you enter again, what you have to do in the misty world will officially begin. 】
Mother explained softly.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Mo Bai was speechless for a moment and muttered quietly.
"I'm sorry I lasted so long......"
[Hehe, because I haven't seen you so cute for a long time, I want to see it for a while.] 】
“……”
Mo Bai rolled his eyes, his face was slightly red and a little embarrassed, and he quickly changed the topic and asked:
"So what do I need to do?"
[It's very simple, you just need to use your ability to get the couple in this room back to normal.] 】
"Bang dang!"
As soon as Mother finished speaking, there was a strange noise in the kitchen, as if something had fallen to the floor.
And in the next second, the figure of the middle-aged woman holding a kitchen knife appeared at the door of the kitchen......
