Chapter 148 (Crawling in the Dark) Ahhhhhhhhh…

[Your task will be very difficult. After all, no one knows how much patience Xiao Yunyan has for us. All you need to do is provoke and test her.]

[Simple. You know, we wild dogs are good at digging holes, but we are also very good at escaping.]

[......Stray dogs? You've hit the jackpot.]

--so!

For various reasons, Mingji was fleeing frantically in the desert. His wind ability was used to the fullest extent. In terms of his full-strength moving speed, there was really no one who could be faster than him.

then.

He turned his head again and shouted at the gloomy sky behind him: "Yun Yan! If you have the guts, come and chase me. You can't catch me, right? Hahaha——"

Around Mingji, a fierce wind was blowing like a ferocious beast, roaring through the sand dunes, and the dust in the sky was rolled up, forming a huge sandstorm, like a surging yellow torrent, rushing straight into the sky.

Behind him, behind the large expanse of yellow sand, was a scene of gray fog. The thick fog almost covered the sky, rolling darkly like a monster that was chasing him relentlessly. It looked particularly terrifying and depressing.

The gray fog rolled and a giant wolf head that was almost towering into the clouds emerged from the fog and swallowed up the yellow sand in one gulp at an extremely fast speed.

Several people were hiding in the rubble and observing secretly.

Cui Zhiyong held up the telescope and saw Mingji's figure being swallowed by the giant beast. He took a deep breath and said, "The situation is not good. Gou Erji has been swallowed. Should we go and save him?"

Zai Zhe wore a pair of sunglasses, with his back to the area where Ming Ji and Shao Nian were fighting, and stared at the peaceful desert scene on the other side. He thought, "No need to worry, I think they are having a lot of fun."

"You didn't even look in the direction of Yunyan and Mingji. Put your glasses back on and don't use sunglasses to look cool." After warning Zaizhe, Zhang Chun turned to Cui Zhiyong and said, "It's okay. Mingji broke out."

Chu Li, who was sitting on the stone next to him with his teacup by his side, pondered for a moment, and his mind fell on another question: "So when will we arrive at Base No. 23?"

Youdu was brought here directly by Zaizhe and Mingji. Base 23, which held countless members of the Knights and the alien army, seemed to be being chased by the Crawlers.

"Base No. 23... Did you leave anyone to guard it?" Zhang Chun took a breath, and after seeing three confused faces, he covered his forehead, "Forget it, let's deal with Yun Yan's situation first..."

boom!

A loud noise like an airburst suddenly sounded in the sky?

A black shadow rushed out of the fog and fell to the ground out of control.

Ming Ji almost fell to the ground. Before he could stabilize himself, a sharp sound suddenly rang out from behind him. He turned around and saw a familiar face full of coldness.

"Hit? Don't hit the person? His face!" Mingji shouted immediately.

The next second, a fist hit his nose hard.

Mingji shook his body twice, sniffed, and two lines of blood flowed down his nose.

Chu Xiuyan took his hand back and snorted, "Still hitting? You don't hit me? Your face, huh? Do it again? Next time I'll cut off all your hair."

Care about me very much? The long-haired Mingji said decisively: "...I surrender and report it by the way--"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden sound not far away.

"Yunyan! Yunyan, come here!"

It was Zai Zhe who realized that Ming Ji was going to "betray".

Chu Xiuyan turned around and looked at Zai Zhe who was calling out to him from more than ten meters away, pursing his lips somewhat reluctantly.

He knew that his current state was very unstable. Although he could barely avoid making mistakes by relying on reason, it would be easy to lose control if his emotions got the better of him.

The thick fog in my mind that interferes with my thinking seems to have become even heavier...

After just a moment of hesitation, Mingji next to him took the opportunity to escape.

Chu Xiuyan felt his hands itching, staring at Mingji, who was left with only a small black dot, and walked towards Zaizhe.

"What's up?"

he asked stiffly.

Zai Zhe snapped his fingers, and a red-bottomed coffin covered in gold and diamonds appeared on the sand beside him. Also appearing at the same time was a two-meter-wide giant bell, which was also colorful and exceptionally dazzling.

"Look, what does the new gift look like? Isn't it cool?" Zai Zhe said proudly.

He was going to use the "persuasion through love" plan.

However, unexpectedly, the young man who should have been happy to accept it had a gloomy expression. He stared at him and said word by word: "Coffin, clock, are you sure this is a gift?"

“…”

Zai Zhe's smile froze as he sensed an ominous sense of danger.

Wait, after being contaminated by the divine nature, has Yunyan's aesthetic sense also become distorted? No...it seems to have become normal!

Without changing his expression, he took the coffin and the clock away, and replaced them with a table and two chairs, as well as the tea set he had asked for from Chu Li.

"It's like this, I have some questions I want to discuss with you, please sit down, Yunyan."

Zai Zhe sat on one side of the table with his hands clasped together, looking extremely serious.

Chu Xiuyan looked up at the scorching sun, then looked at the empty desert around him, and finally looked at Zai Zhe, saying bluntly: "Talking to me here? I almost doubt if your brain has been eaten by bugs."

Zai Zhe’s smile froze again.

But Chu Xiuyan still sat opposite.

A pile of rocks in the distance.

Cui Zhiyong still held up the telescope and struggled to read lips. "Hiss, what are they talking about... Stupid humans? Isn't this name exactly the same as before? Where is the divine pollution?"

Ming Ji, who rushed over, panted heavily, "The difference is that before, when I said I would break your legs, it was just a joke or a threat. Now, when I say I want to beat you, I might break all your limbs."

Cui Zhiyong looked at his intact leg and shuddered.

Zhang Chun continued to sense the situation on Zai Zhe's side through the sand, frowning deeper and deeper, and said with mixed emotions: "Is this what Zai Zhe said? Love influences?"

Chu Xiuyan also wanted to throw the table in the face of the person opposite him.

"The world is a complex and diverse whole, and every living thing has its own reason for existence. Ordinary creatures, exotic animals and plants, humans, and even gods, the relationship between all races of life is extremely complex, so it needs to be viewed dialectically from multiple angles."

Zai Zhe paused, glanced under the table, coughed and continued, "How should we view the relationship between life forms in different classes dialectically? I also want to know. It is probably that only by jointly promoting sustainable development and ecological protection can we establish a... Hey, did I find the wrong information?"

Zai Zhe lowered his head completely to flip through the book.

Chu Xiuyan felt his emotions surging, and said coldly: "Zai Zhe, do you want to discuss with me the relationship between God and humans?"

Zai Zhe looked up blankly: "Ah? I have??"

Chu Xiuyan felt as if his head was blocked by something. The words he said were unfamiliar to himself. His tone was full of contempt. "Thinking about the existence of gods with human thinking is simply a daydream. Zai Zhe, we are all ants under the gods. This is not some emotional and arrogant words, but the fact and truth. Only the gods can hold the key to escape the world's disasters..."

"Okay, stop it. I don't understand what you are saying." Zai Zhe supported his chin, sighed, and looked at the young man quietly, saying, "I don't care about gods, evolution, or disasters. Yun Yan, I just want to say that no matter what you become, you are our companion, and I will never give up on you. So don't worry, even if you call me an ant or a bug here, I will at most quarrel with you, and I will not turn against you and leave."

Chu Xiuyan looked towards Zai Zhe, and the shadow in his mind seemed to grow even deeper.

Zai Zhe noticed that the young man had calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to continue flipping through the book to practice "persuasion with love", the man on the other side suddenly said:

"Zai Zhe, you are an idiot."

Zai Zhe: "Why are you cursing for no reason?..."

Chu Xiuyan said to himself: "What kind of talk therapy is this? If it were the old me, I would definitely give you a slap? A bad review? A negative score."

Zai Zhe looked up at the sky: "Don't say that, I think it is still? Useful?..."

"The effect of soft warmth is very poor. It can't dispel the thick fog in my mind at all."

Chu Xiuyan said this bluntly, then slowly stood up, looking down at Zai Zhe, his eyes under his black hair were particularly cold, "What annoys me even more is your pretentious attitude. I'm too lazy to play along with you anymore."

Zai Zhe frowned, feeling that something was about to happen.

The next second, his expression changed slightly, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

A large cloud of gray fog rolled in and overturned the table. Countless misty soldiers surrounded by black air appeared on the sand and attacked quickly in all directions.

Before Zai Zhe, who had just flashed to the distance, could regain his composure, gray fog had already surged in front of him. Chu Xiuyan, who teleported directly through the gray fog, kicked him away without any hesitation.

Zai Zhe fell to the ground far away, without getting up, looking at the sky covered by gray fog, and spitting out blood expressionlessly.

"Okay, we still have to fight?..." He breathed silently.

…

"You're all playing dumb."

Chu Xiuyan, who was standing still, cast his eyes towards the pile of rocks, his voice was emotionless, "Reason, emotion, force, every conclusion you draw cannot change my current situation. Zhang Chun, you understand this, don't hide behind that rock, come out."

A pile of rocks.

Cui Zhiyong covered his ears and looked at Zhang Chun in shock, "Fuck, he actually called you by your name!"

Chu Li frowned: "I checked under the conference table last night, it's not there."

Zhang Chun had a headache and said, "There's nothing on the ground? There is? ... So it's in the sky?"

Cui Zhiyong: "Don't worry about where he is eavesdropping, what should we do now? Yunyan is going berserk!"

"Then let's just start fighting? Well, stay away. You can't join this battle for now."

Zhang Chun sighed helplessly, walked out of the pile of rocks, and met the black-haired young man not far away.

"Morning, uncle."

Chu Xiuyan stood alone in the depths of the violently surging gray fog and smiled at Zhang Chun without any emotion.

"Good morning." Zhang Chun replied calmly.

The next second, a terrifying brute force as if being hit directly by a ferocious beast suddenly struck.

Zhang Chun took two steps back, feeling a little stuffy in his chest again.

He coughed twice, and instantly, a riot broke out from deep in the sand. A giant sand dragon emerged from deep underground and attacked Chu Xiuyan.

There was a huge black hole in the sky, and wisps of lines fell like a rain curtain.

Zai Zhe, spitting blood, stepped back into the black fog. He did not draw his sword, but his lips kept trembling, and he launched a series of small-scale regular attacks towards the young man.

Three-way siege and melee.

However, Chu Xiuyan, who was fighting against three people at the same time, was not at all at a disadvantage. He looked up and saw a large piece of gray fog forcibly squeezed into the black hole above his head. He raised his hand and groups of gray fog soldiers attacked Zai Zhe.

But in just a few breaths, the black hole in the sky was squeezed to collapse by the gray fog, and Zai Zhe who stepped into the fog was thrown out directly.

"Practice against gods?" Chu Xiuyan had obviously heard the conversation between the group of people in the pile of rocks, and said sarcastically, "This is not a practice, it's obviously playing house."

Finally, only Zhang Chun was left, muttering to himself, "Seems even more venomous." He stared at the young man's scarlet eyes from afar, put aside other thoughts, and asked calmly: "Yun Yan, why don't you use all your strength?"

"I also want to ask, why don't you use all your strength?" Chu Xiuyan walked towards Zhang Chun step by step, his eyes growing colder under his hair. "Just to the extent of what happened just now, were you fighting with a child?"

"At this level, you can't fight against God at all."

Chu Xiuyan stood directly in front of Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun showed no sign of retreating, and his tone remained calm and natural, "You are not an enemy, why should we use the power of killing the enemy to deal with you?"

"Oh, that's very nice to say."

Chu Xiuyan nodded casually, pinched his chin and looked at Zhang Chun for a few times, then suddenly jumped up, threw him to the ground, grabbed his throat without hesitation, and said coldly: "What if I kill you?"

Zhang Chun still didn't resist, didn't even struggle, his calm eyes stared at Chu Xiuyan through his bangs and said, "A long time ago, you used force to pull me back and made a promise. But unfortunately, I don't have the power to restrain you... so I can only find other ways. But don't worry, Yunyan, I said I would pull you back."

"Bullshit promises."

Chu Xiuyan exerted his strength little by little, and could clearly sense that the other party's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. There was no doubt that the feeling of impending death would make the other party fight back.

But, but…

Even when the other person's lips turned pale and his pupils began to dilate, there was still no sign of struggle.

Madman, madman!

Chu Xiuyan had to loosen his fingers a little and said through gritted teeth: "Zhang Chun, you are forcing me."

It took Zhang Chun a while to react, and he said hoarsely: "Divinity has not completely devoured you. Reason and memory prove this. Owett also agrees with my guess. We can maintain our humanity when we are halfway into the realm of God. You can do it too... I will find a way to teach you this, Yunyan."

"Is this your method?" Chu Xiuyan sneered.

Zhang Chun said: "This is my way."

The expression on Chu Xiuyan's face gradually disappeared. He stared at the other party coldly and said, "But if you fail, you will die."

Zhang Chun's tone remained unchanged. "Don't worry, I won't die if I don't do anything I'm not sure of. And Yun Yan, you are a person walking on the earth, not a god in the sky."

Chu Xiuyan pursed his lips, feeling his head getting heavier. The thick fog that occupied his mind seemed to be constantly forcing him to cut off the "enemy" that was disturbing his thoughts, but reason kept him calm.

After a while of stalemate, he seemed to have thought of something, and his voice gradually became softer. He said, "That's the problem, uncle. I don't see the beliefs that can force you to keep fighting... I don't see them."

He paused, and his tone suddenly became cold.

"So I chose the officiant's method."

Zhang Chun's mind flashed with the image of the silver-haired high priest, Ruo You? Ruo Wu's smiling face, and his pupils shrank instantly, "Wait, he is lying——"

His words came too late. A humanoid figure formed by the gray mist appeared behind Chu Xiuyan and quickly reached out his hand behind the young man.

Puff...

Some blood was splashed on Zhang Chun's face and his mind went blank in an instant.

"What a coincidence, uncle, I am also immortal." Chu Xiuyan finally felt a little relieved, loosened his hand on Zhang Chun's neck, and said softly: "Really? It's embarrassing to tell others that a god would self-harm. Please help me hide it... Then, come back after I get a new heart..."

At this moment, the buzzing sound in my mind suddenly became clear and loud, and seemed particularly rampant.

[Ahahaha! The barrier has become thinner! I’m alone? Power——Host, I got in!! Long time no see, see you... Shit! ]

[Ah, this, this, this! What happened?! Why are you pinching Zhang Chun's neck? ? ]

[Hiss…Host, calm down, don’t panic! Don’t shake your hands! Don’t kill anyone! Can I give you a broken heart? Squeeze it again! Don’t panic!]

[Anyway, let’s go back to the real world and format it first…]

[Host, go! ]

Before Chu Xiuyan could react, a voice suddenly rang in his mind. The next second, his vision suddenly darkened. He could vaguely see scarlet and light blue light merge and intersect, condensing into a ball-like ball, which turned into a long afterimage, passing through layers of barriers and coming to a space that exuded an extremely familiar atmosphere.

Then it fell, falling quickly.

When my vision returned to normal, everything I saw was familiar yet unfamiliar.

It's a bedroom in the real world.

He picked up the phone and saw a pair of scarlet eyes through the screen.

The system screamed: [Fuck! Why do you have a pair of red eyes?! ]

Chu Xiuyan was stunned for a while, then murmured, "I was too brave. I actually fought with Zai Zhe and Chu Li, and even strangled uncle by the neck and committed suicide right under uncle's nose? Damn..."

After a few seconds, he seemed to realize what he had done, and rolled on the bed with his head in his hands.

“Ahhhh help me, I’m going to die, what the hell is going on, ahhhh—”
