Chapter 20: Did You Use That Ancient Relic?!
"! I thought you were dead! ”
"Almost ......"
"Do you know how worried I am about you, boss! I can't find you after I came out of the crowd, and I'm dying! ”
"Thank you......"
Hearing Chen Jing's thanks, Kui Nan just snorted angrily, and scolded in a particularly low voice, "Thank you, mother, thank you", and her brows were so furrowed that she could kill flies.
"It's all your own people, you thank you for the fart."
To be honest, Kui Nan really thought that Chen Jing was dead before, because after she came out of the corridor full of people, there was no trace of Chen Jing in the community square.
There are no living people there.
To be exact.
There weren't even living creatures there.
Hundreds of mutilated corpses were piled up like a forest, and the surrounding green belt seemed to have been burned down by high temperatures, leaving only a patch of white ash, and even the soil had turned into dry and loose gravel...... It was as if something had taken their life away in an instant.
It is no exaggeration to say that Kui Nan was almost trembling with fear at that time, because she had never seen such a strange thing.
The corpses of those people fell outward in a radial shape, forming a "circle" about 20 meters in diameter at the cost of their lives.
in the center of the circle.
There is a huge and intricate strange totem, which is deeply imprinted on the concrete floor, and you can even feel a little residual heat when you touch it with your hand.
There was a residual smell of Chen Jing there, Kui Nan could smell it, and she wanted to grab him and bite him, but she couldn't find any trace of Chen Jing there......
I saw a lot of black dirt like asphalt on the ground.
Kui Nan could recognize it at a glance.
That's what the mud guy left behind!
The reason why she would run to the underground garage to find Chen Jing was precisely because of this...... But at that time, she didn't think Chen Jing was still alive.
The reason is simple.
He's too weak.
Weak like those wild cats roaming around the neighborhood.
If you're not careful, you can easily strangle him to death......
So when Chen Jing and the little skeleton were sent out by the "mud guy", Kui Nan was a little incredulous...... No, she simply thought she was dreaming!
Even if you haven't been killed by the mud guy, you can still get out of that corroded space intact...... Is this the deterrent power of an old madman?!
"You weren't killed by the mud guy......"
"He's actually quite communicative."
"Damn, why don't I think it's ......?"
"Tell me about you someday."
Chen Jing felt a slight headache when he said this, after all, when he was parting with Lawrence, the old man deliberately inserted three black needles in his head in order to thank him for the gift.
The three needles, which were as black as black iron, were also melted by the mud on Lawrence's body, and were about the same thickness as the silver needles used in Chinese medicine acupuncture.
But it seems to have absorbable properties.
It is also a type of "medicine".
They were tied in rows at the nerve center below Chen Jing's cranial cavity, and in the process of being absorbed by Chen Jing's body, they could temporarily stabilize Chen Jing's injuries and relieve that fatal headache......
"I didn't expect you to dare to look for me in the garage."
Chen Jing looked at Kui Nan who was supporting him, and suddenly felt a little moved, especially when he saw the side face with a blue nose and swollen face, he couldn't help but cough with laughter, and the pain in his chest was terrible.
"I can't see that you're quite bold, aren't you afraid of that mud guy?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to go, Lao Tzu is the most righteous!"
Kui Nan saw that Chen Jing was laughing and coughing when she heard her words, so she raised her hand and was about to slap him on the back to shut him up, but when she raised her hand, she hesitated, after all, this slap went down...... Chen Jing, who is like a weak chicken, can't stand it.
"You didn't get hurt against those people, did you?"
"A little." Kui Nan smiled disdainfully, and his words were full of pride, "That garbage can only hurt my fur at most, just like a mosquito bite, it doesn't take half a minute to heal itself." ”
"Then your face ......"
"Can they be like old madmen!"
Kui Nan was so angry when he talked about this, if he hadn't seen Chen Jing hurt too badly, I'm afraid he would have kicked it over a long time ago.
"Don't look at the old madman's attack is relatively light, he didn't kill me, and it will take me a few days to heal myself from this injury......"
"Do you know he's light-hearted?"
"Nonsense, if he played normally, Lao Tzu would have been beaten to death by him a long time ago......"
Kui Nan didn't want to continue this topic that made her phantom limbs hurt, she suddenly turned her face sideways to look at the little skeleton that was gently tugging at the corner of Chen Jingyi.
"Why does this little thing follow you all the time?"
"He said he was going to follow me......" Chen Jing blushed a little when he said this, and said embarrassedly, "I heard him say that the wasteland is too chaotic to mix, so I came to the city to find an errand that can support myself......
"When will there be no chaos in the wasteland?"
Kui Nan said with a sneer, as if he had a lot of hostility towards the little skeleton.
"He must be ruthless to be able to grow so big in the wasteland...... Little thing, do you think I'm right? ”
The little skeleton shuddered, not daring to speak.
Although Chen Jing left an impression on him as "powerful", this woman was clearly "dangerous".
Thinking of the picture of her previous torture and murder, the little skeleton's heart trembled.
"The ruthlessness created by the times is not necessarily the ...... nature"
Chen Jing said, patting the little skeleton's head gently.
"If you leave a group of people in a wasteland where you can't find any resources, and you look at it again in ten days and half a month, you will still only see a group of wild beasts."
"Soft-hearted." Kui Nan snorted coldly, don't look around, "If you want me to say, this kind of smuggler who runs into the city from the wasteland should be ......"
"You've been to the wasteland?" Chen Jing asked coldly.
Kui Nan was stunned for a moment, and hummed vaguely, as if he was reluctant to say more.
"Have you suffered at the hands of the natives of the wasteland?" Chen Jing asked again.
Kui Nan didn't even plan to hmm this time, and glared at him fiercely.
"No wonder you have such a big opinion of it......"
"It was a accident!"
Kui Nan couldn't help but explain, gritting his teeth and looking at the little skeleton again.
"Everything went well when I went to the wasteland with the bounty team to find treasure, who would have guessed that I would be ambushed by those tribes on the way back to the city?"
As soon as the words fell, Kui Nan couldn't help but boast again.
"But it's okay, I'm not dead when they're all dead, and all the good things are in my hands...... Boss is amazing! ”
"Well, awesome."
"But then again, how did you get this place?"
At this moment, Kui Nan had already helped Chen Jing to the community square, which was also where the previous battlefield was located.
Although the corpses of those people were silently taken away by the mud guys, the strange totem on the ground was still there.
"The relics."
Chen Jing explained, glancing at the totem on the ground that was the same as the surface of the Holy Grail, and then at the flowers and trees that were "burned" into fly ash not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.
Looks like Lawrence didn't lie to me.
The power of this relic seems to be unexpectedly great......
Thinking of the bizarre scene when he used the Holy Grail, Chen Jing raised his head again and recalled it carefully for a while, he couldn't tell if it was an illusion or if something really came out of the Holy Grail.
Because he asked the little skeleton.
All that emerged from the Grail was a blinding yellow light, not the huge ancient figure he had seen.
So is that an illusion?
Chen Jing couldn't figure it out.
But that picture is clearly and very real!
Whether it was the huge figure that emerged from the Holy Grail, or the ragged yellow robe that it draped over its body and almost covered the night sky......
That's all.
It's all terrifyingly real.
"Relic?"
"This."
Chen Jing took out the Yellow King Holy Grail from her pocket and handed it to Kui Nan, she took it in her hand and looked at it twice, then raised her head and looked at Chen Jing with a strange gaze.
"The power of this relic is so great......
"I didn't expect that either."
"So you just handed it to me?"
"If this thing is not activated, it won't hurt ......."
Before Chen Jing could finish speaking, Kui Nan interrupted him with a frown.
"I mean...... Aren't you afraid that I'll rob it? ”
Chen Jing only laughed when he heard this, and Kui Nan was almost angry with his laughter.
"Any relic is a priceless good thing, don't take it out in front of outsiders in the future, beware of being killed and overpriced!"
Kui Nan angrily stuffed the Holy Grail back into Chen Jing's pocket, and then punched him hard in the chest.
"It's a shame to accept someone like you who has no experience in the rivers and lakes as a little brother!"
"I know, but you're not an outsider...... Chen Jing blinked, and there was a hint of doubt in his clear eyes, "Aren't we friends?" ”
The moment these words were spoken, Chen Jing clearly saw a trace of joy in Kui Nan's eyes, but soon this emotion disappeared and was replaced by an unforgettable anger......
"I don't need friends."
Kui Nan seemed to have changed in an instant, and that cold look made Chen Jing feel extremely unfamiliar, as if he had re-acquainted her at this moment.
"You're not my friend either."
"Then let's be a little brother......"
"I didn't mean that...... Damn it! Kui Nan suddenly stopped and yelled nervously, "I don't need friends!" I know! Shut the fuck! ”
Kui Nan's eyes turned scarlet in an instant, and the grinding sound made people shudder from gritting their teeth.
"I don't need friends! Y'all fucking shut up! ”
Chen Jing knew that Kui Nan was not angry with him.
She had been yelling at the air around her.
It was as if something in the air that was invisible to the naked eye was speaking to her and annoying her.
"Don't be angry, boss......"
"I'm not angry...... I'm sorry...... I just ......"
Kui Nan's voice suddenly stopped, and the pause was extremely abrupt, as if someone had suddenly choked his throat, and even his breathing became trembling.
Chen Jing followed her frightened gaze, and then saw a familiar figure.
At the gate of the community, an expressionless old man stood there, carrying a large snakeskin bag behind his back......
"Boss, go back first, I have to go to him on an errand."
"He won't embarrass you, will he?"
Kui Nan looked at Chen Jing with a worried face, as if he was so frightened by the old man that his spirit returned to normal, after all, ...... I am afraid that the psychological shadow left by the old man on her will be difficult to erase in this life.
"No, it won't."
Chen Jing smiled and comforted.
"I've sent all the receipts for the property fee, and there's nothing else to do, so how can he embarrass me?"
"Okay...... Then I'll go back first...... Be careful yourself......"
Kui Nan nodded suspiciously, then slowly took two steps back, turned around and ran in the direction of the residential building.
Meanwhile.
The old man also walked slowly with a snakeskin bag on his back.
Chen Jing could see that he was in a bad mood, obviously he was angry, but he held back his anger.
"You kid......"
Chen Bofu's teeth were about to be crushed, and his eyes were full of scarlet bloodshots, obviously on the verge of rage.
"Did you use that ancient ?!artifact?"
