Chapter 36: The Giant and the Puddle

A wisp of gray tulle floated out of Wang Ran's eyebrows, and this wisp of tulle exuded a unique verve, protecting Wang Ran's body in the chaotic air current.

This is the divinity condensed by Wang Ran.

Wang Ran looked at the slightly distant world and fell silent.

"I take back what I just said."

He muttered.

The shoes weren't a look, at least not for him.

Even when he stood in the empty sea of the world, he felt as if he was stepping on something, and as long as he tried harder, he would definitely be able to "jump".

But here is already the sea of the world.

If you step hard in the world, you will come to the world sea, but what about stepping hard in the world sea?

Wang Ran suddenly had an impulse in his heart.

If he steps hard in the world sea, will he float far in the world sea, or will he go from the inside of the world to the outside of the world as he did from inside the world to outside the world?

Wang Ran was eager to test the idea.

【Turn on real-time simulation】

[You step hard]

Wang Ran held his breath.

[You jumped out of the world sea]

"Really left the World Sea?!"

Wang Ran was surprised.

He just came to the simulation with the idea of giving it a try, but he didn't expect it to really surprise him, the great sage's lotus silk steps actually helped him jump out of the world sea!

What's beyond the sea?

During the last apocalyptic crisis, Wang Ran soaked in the library of the believers of the Maha and read countless materials, but there was no mention of things beyond the world.

The only few words are vague, and it seems that even Morta does not know what is going on outside the world.

O Great Sage! I drop the Great Sage!

It's got to be you!

At this point, the text continues to scroll down.

[You have lost your ability to perceive]

[Reminded by the "Savior Simulator", you realize the need to replace the original sensory organs with divinity]

Outside the sea, the eyes and ears are useless.

[You have burned the only wisp of divinity]

[You have gained a ray of light]

Wang Ran lifted his spirits.

He currently only has a wisp of divinity, which means that he can only see what the world is looking at outside the world.

[You are shocked by everything in front of you]

[You find that the World Sea is just a small puddle on the verge of drying up, you notice that there are many similar puddles nearby, and you see a "giant" drinking water not far away]

[Divinity burns out]

[You have lost your perception of the outside world]

[You forgot what you just saw]

[The "giant" noticed you]

[You are annihilated in His gaze]

【End of Simulation】

Wang Ran fell silent.

After a while, he said to himself with a dry mouth: "The World Sea is just a small puddle, and it is a small puddle on the verge of drying up."

He was mentally prepared that if there was another heaven and earth beyond the World Sea, the creatures operating in that Heaven and Earth would inevitably be much stronger than the creatures that could not leave the World Sea.

But he didn't expect the World Sea to be so unbearable!

And it's dangerous.

Not only is it on the verge of drying up, but there are giants drinking nearby.

He suddenly felt a great sense of urgency.

The earth is still in this world sea, and he must not allow the world sea to dry up, let alone allow the giants outside the world sea to drink the world sea into his stomach.

Wang Ran's eyes showed a fierce light.

【Start Instant Simulation】

[You activated the "Time and Space Replacement"]

[You launched the "man with his own BGM"]

[You are free from the protection of divinity]

[You coped with it twice]

[Your life is dying under the turbulence of the World Sea]

[You activated the "Broom Star on Earth]

That giant is too dangerous.

Maybe he won't drink the world sea where Wang Ran is, after all, this world sea is about to dry up, but Wang Ran will not hand over his fate to others in vain.

He wanted to kill the giant.

At least cast Him out.

[You designate the giant to be unlucky]

[You are facing the fear of your life]

[The giant will immediately pour a blood mold]

[The giant was already seriously wounded, and when bad luck came, he could only let out a desperate wail]

Already seriously injured?

Wang Ran suddenly realized something.

"Giant" and "Little Puddle" are both for him, so what is "Little Puddle" for "Giant"?

Maybe it's just a tiny drop of water?

The giant lay on the ground in embarrassment and licked a drop of water, apparently in poor condition.

[Driven by bad luck, the giant spit out his last breath of hanging, fell weakly, and entered an irreversible countdown to death]

【You kick lightly】

[You dragged your seriously injured body back to the world just now]

[You're unconscious]

【End of Simulation】

Wang Ran thought for a little for two seconds.

Although he didn't know why the giant was seriously injured, he knew that the giant would definitely need a lot of energy to recover from his injuries.

That's why the giant lay on the ground and licked the water.

But the giant is very large, and one or two puddles will certainly not satisfy him, and if he does not stop this giant, this giant will most likely lick up the sea of the world where he is.

He had to make a move.

Wang Ran made up his mind.

Space-time replacement!

An indescribable strange feeling filled his heart, and in an instant, he felt that he had a lot of authority in his hands.

[The man with his own BGM] is launched!

"I'm working hard to grow vegetables~"

"But you secretly came to sabotage~"

"Let me discover~"

"Happy Farm is full of pests and diseases~"

A funny melody sounded in the depths of Wang Ran's mind.

Ahh

If you can't play a song in the sea of the world, you can put a brain worm on him?

The corners of Wang Ran's mouth twitched, but he didn't have time to dwell on it, because the giant was seriously injured now, but after licking a few more mouthfuls of water, it might not be necessary.

He gritted his teeth and pulled his divinity back to the center of his eyebrows.

A terrifying storm of energy swept in his face, and he coped with it twice before being swept in.

Grass! Grass! Grass!

The energy storm was like countless sharp knives, easily cutting off a layer of Wang Ran's flesh.

Wang Ran was so painful that he was incoherent.

Although he has resolved three apocalyptic crises, he has not experienced any decent battles in reality, and his ability to endure pain is almost zero, and he can't bear this pain comparable to Ling Chi at all.

His body constantly switches between bones and flesh.

The [Salamander Physique]'s self-healing ability is on par with the speed at which his body is damaged, but he can feel his physical energy being consumed rapidly.

If this continues, he will surely die.

Wang Ran gritted his teeth.

[Broom Star in the World], launch!

After doing this, he kicked lightly.

In a trance, he felt the light and shadow in front of him flicker, and then he fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

"Old man! Come on! ”

"Someone fell on our haystack!"

Chi'an County is the fief of Chi'an Jun.

In the early years, when Chi Anjun was still there, the officials and people of Chi'an County went on a blind date, and they were harmonious.

Later, Chi Anjun was given death by the emperor.

The atmosphere in Chi'an County is getting worse and worse, and today, more than ten years later, the officials of Chi'an County are corrupt, and the nearby bandits are rampant, and it has become a place of erosion, and even the slightest ideal officials are reluctant to come here.

"Chai Laohan, it's time to pay the taxes for the next ten years."

On this day, the tax collector came to a small courtyard.

While other places collect taxes and fees for the current year, Chi'an County collects taxes and fees for the next ten years, and to be precise, not the next ten years, but the taxes and fees from the next ten years to the next ten years.

Because the first decade was taken by the previous county magistrate.

Chai Laohan walked out of the small courtyard with a cane on crutches.

"Alas"

"Two officials, can you slow down the tax money?"

"I've got a sick person at home."

"I've been in a coma for a few days, and the money has bought him a decoction, and I really can't get it out for a while."

The attitude of the officials is extraordinarily arrogant.

"Don't pretend to be garlic with me!"

"Who doesn't know that your Chai family was the servant of Chi Anjun's anti-thief back then, and other people's families could get the money, but you couldn't take it out?"

Chai Laohan grovelled and said, "Two officials."

"Shut up! Take the money and go! ”

The official pushed Chai Laohan hard.

Chai Laohan's thin body hit the wall, like a straw hitting a brick stack, flicked lightly, and then let out a cry of pain.

The official said in disgust: "Go get the money quickly, or you will go to the prison and squat!" ”

Chai Laohan turned around with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He leaned against the wall and walked into the house, and came out with a heavy money bag in his hand.

He silently handed the money bag to the official.

The official opened the money bag and counted it carefully.

"That's right!"

"That's so much!"

"You've paid your taxes!"

The official nodded in satisfaction.

Chai Laohan turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" The official stopped him, "What about the two of us?" ”

Chai Laohan was stunned.

The official said confidently: "The two of us are coming to collect your taxes under the big sun, don't you know to give us a little reward?" ”

Treat?

The old man Chai was very angry.

But he had no choice but to take out two small strings of copper coins from his arms.

"This is to honor the two officials."

He swallowed.

"Haha! That's pretty much it! ”

The officials took the money and left, but it was not much trouble, because they also had to collect taxes from other families, and many of them had strong men in their families, and it was very troublesome to collect taxes.

Chai Laohan closed the door, turned around and walked back to the room.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He had just sat down when there was another knock on the door.

Chai Laohan walked out and opened the door with a worried face, thinking as he walked who was tapping on his door this time.

"Who?"

He asked through the door.

"Black Wind Mansion, accept this year's offerings!"

Chai Laohan's face collapsed.

He opened the door and saw two men covered in black veil.

He said cautiously: "Your Excellency of the Black Wind Mansion, can you slow down this year's offerings, the government has just collected ten years of taxes, and the officials who collected taxes have only left, and the family really has no money." ”

The Black Wind Mansion is the largest gang of bandits in the vicinity.

"Damn, we're late!"

"Are these officials all lard in their heads, and if they collect taxes for ten years, aren't they afraid of the people's rebellion?"

The bandit's tone was full of anger.

Chai Laohan didn't dare to say a word.

"In that case, I'll give you a sixty-day reprieve."

The elder robber said: "We will come to collect this year's offerings in sixty days, and we won't be able to hand it over by then, don't blame us for being ruthless in the Black Wind Mansion!" ”

Chai Laohan nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

The elder robber asked, "Where are the tax collectors going?" ”

Chai Laohan pointed them in the direction.

"Let's go and kill the tax collectors!"

"Good!"

The two robbers left in a murderous manner.

Chai Laohan closed the door and sighed.

In these years, officials are more ruthless than robbers.

The robbers only received a year's sacrifice at a time, and if they couldn't collect it, they gave them sixty days to raise money, which was even more merciful than the officials.

Chai Laohan turned around slowly.

But this time he didn't even enter the door, and the door was knocked again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chai Laohan asked in horror, "Who?" ”

"Open the door! Tax! ”

"Ten years tax!"

Chai Laohan was stunned.

Why did a gang come to collect taxes again, didn't he just pay it?

"Official! I just paid my taxes! ”

He shouted through the door.

"It could be that someone else went to the wrong place and ran to the territory of the two of us."

"We don't care about that."

"You have to give us your taxes!"

"Or go to jail!"

"Take your pick!"

Pay another ten-year tax?

Chai Laohan only felt that his eyes were black, and his thin body was shaky.
