Chapter 184 Dream Godhead

A flash of sword light broke through the darkness, and the sharp part pierced half an inch into the snake's body. The venomous snake opened its mouth and hissed sharply. The fangs had just left the human's bones and blood, and the next second, they were captured by someone.

The huge snake shadow was thrown out of the steps and fell into the abyss.

The fangs of the venomous snake left four holes symmetrically in the upper and lower positions of the right hand.

Shi Yu lowered his head and pressed his lips against the back of his hand. After three or four seconds, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He never carried gauze with him, so he simply tied a few circles of silk thread around his wrists. When it was tightened, it separated the dark blue blood vessels under the skin into two sections.

When I returned to the forest, there were still the same few people in front of me, all standing in a neat row.

After exchanging ideas with each other, Qiao Yan threw a five and encountered a swarm of wasps. He was mentally prepared and had lit a torch with a matchbox in advance. When he reached the designated staircase, he raised his hand and burned the wasps in the sky into charcoal; Shu Ying threw a six and encountered a bison. When it rushed up, he blocked it with one hand and almost twisted the bull's horns off; as for Ji Congyang, he had good luck throughout. He threw a one and reached the safe floor without even encountering any animals.

The results of the three dice rolls all conformed to the arrangement pattern. Qiao Yan looked down at the words on the ground and said, "I still don't know what's missing."

Shi Yu picked up the branch again: "Snake."

Qiao Yan subconsciously wanted to ask, "Did you encounter it?", but her eyes fell on his movements and she suddenly changed her words: "What's wrong with your hand?"

"What's going on..." Before Shi Yu could even finish his question, a person appeared in front of him.

After Qiao Yan put on the ice skates, he was really fast and directly pulled his hand out of his pocket.

The air was silent for two full seconds.

"Why do you use your left hand to write if you have nothing to do?!" The other party's suddenly raised voice scared Ji Congyang who was coming over, and even Shi Yu paused.

It's not that I was surprised that the other party found out, but I didn't expect that the other party would take direct action.

In Shi Yu's impression, the other party has always been calm and very sensible, paying close attention to details. He can even be said to be the one whose thinking is most in tune with his own among all the players he has met in the game. Apart from Ji Congyang and solving puzzles, he has never seen the other party have any extra emotions about anything. He has simply used that expressionless face to the extreme.

But now the ups and downs in tone seem particularly abrupt.

After Qiao Yan finished speaking, he realized that his emotions were out of control, took a deep breath, and let go of his hand: "Sorry."

As soon as he stepped back, the other two were able to see the blood on Shi Yu's right hand.

The small holes left by the teeth are blue and purple, which are obvious symptoms of poisoning.

Qiao Yan ignored Ji Congyang, whose storage compartment he knew very well, and looked directly at Luo Huaishen beside him: "Are there any items that can detoxify?"

Shuying's face looked even uglier than his.

The gods don't have a high demand for medicine. If ordinary gods have low power, it's fine. But for them who have reached the level of the chief gods, ordinary injuries can be healed by their own power. Even if there are occasional overly serious cases, staying still and waiting for the body to recover is more effective than any emergency measures. If the injury cannot be healed even by the power of the gods, then there is basically no way to save it.

Qiao Yan knew the answer from his expression: "Put aside the idea of entering the castle. Just stay here and don't move."

After he said that, he turned around and walked into the forest.

After a second or two, Shuying also disappeared.

Ji Congyang didn't dare to breathe the whole time. When only he and his idol were left at the scene, he carefully approached and stared at the deep teeth marks on the other's right hand: "Idol."

Shi Yu sat down silently and untied the silk thread around his wrist.

Ji Congyang searched his mind for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable topic, so he could only ask: "Does it hurt?"

"fine."

Ji Congyang ignored his answer: "If it hurts, why can't you care about your life?"

Shi Yu loosened the thread for a few seconds, then tightened it again: "I don't care."

Ji Congyang directly pointed out: "If Old Qiao hadn't discovered it, did you not plan to tell him at all?" The second time, "You didn't plan to ask us for help at all?" The third time, "Even when there was a primeval forest behind you with grass taller than a person, you didn't plan to look for something that could inhibit snake venom?"

He then asked back, “Are you sure you care?”

"I didn't intend to hide it, but I didn't think of using drugs. It has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, it's just for my own safety." Shi Yu looked at him: "As for going to the forest, it takes time, luck, and even success rate. Without professional medical equipment, all these can only be suppressed; but leaving the game can ensure that the snake venom is completely eliminated."

Ji Congyang was speechless for a while: "But aren't you afraid that you won't have enough time? The poison will take effect before you can leave the game?"

Shi Yu shook his head: "I sucked out most of the toxins at that time. Even if the remaining small amount merged into the blood, it would take time for the whole body to circulate and penetrate into the internal organs. As long as you don't do strenuous activities, it won't be difficult to survive for a few hours."

There are no hospitals in the forest, and being bitten by a venomous snake is not a common disease. Unless you have fallen into this trap yourself, the number of players who would specially prepare such props is almost negligible. After all, the primeval forest is an unfamiliar place. Even if the vegetation is lush, there is no guarantee that the plants you need will grow there. What's more, the opponent's body is very resistant to herbs. Even if you find them, you can't eat them or even apply them in large quantities. At most, you can suppress the toxicity but not completely eliminate it. After the time snatched from the hands of death is up, you will still die.

In contrast, it is an established fact that all players are aware of that all damage sustained in the game can be healed after completing a mission and leaving.

The former is a shortcut, which is quiet and safe, but no one has tried it. It is questionable whether it can lead to Rome. There is a high probability that even if you try, you will achieve nothing. The latter is a bumpy straight road. The difficulties and obstacles to pass through are immeasurable, but the goal is in front of you and you will not run away. As long as you do it, you will definitely achieve your desired results.

Whether it is Qiao Yan, Shu Ying, or even Ji Congyang, their thinking starts from the process, so they will choose shortcuts.

But Shi Yu started from the result, so he chose the only known path.

Can you say he doesn't care about his own life?

If he didn't care, how could he consider these things.

Does that mean he cares?

If you really cared enough, how could you so lightly tell others the fact that you only have less than a few hours left to live?

To leave this game within a few hours, even if the other party really did it, what would the process be like?

Even if Ji Congyang had no common sense, he knew that people who were bitten by snakes would never feel good. There would be pain, bleeding, tissue necrosis, fever, coma, breathing difficulties, and being unable to move while conscious to the point of being heartbroken. Who could bear that?

Wouldn’t the other party think of this?

I'm afraid I have thought about it, but never taken it into consideration.

Because the other party's decision-making and behavior are driven by reason rather than emotion; because in the other party's view, as long as the result is good, no matter how hard or painful the process is, it doesn't matter.

In fact, Ji Congyang originally wanted to ask, after such a long time since returning to the primeval forest after the fifth round of dice throwing, why the first thing he asked was the result of walking up the stairs? Why couldn't he first ask them if they had any props that could suppress the effect of snake venom?

Is it so difficult to rely on others?

But he didn't ask anything.

※

"Lord God?"

Shuying paused.

Qiao Yan didn't even look at him: "Why didn't your boss tell you that he was going on a secret tour?"

Shuying lowered her head and looked at the road without saying anything.

"Although I am a bit presumptuous in saying this, it is indeed irresponsible to just abandon a large group of you and leave like this, not to mention that you are all so loyal to him," Qiao Yan also lowered his head to look through the bushes, "Besides, why doesn't he go anywhere else he wants? He has to come to the game and blend in with a group of ordinary people to cause trouble, and he doesn't help when they make small mistakes. Is he tired of being the center among you so he comes here to seek a sense of existence? If he likes to show off so much, why doesn't he..."

A hand suddenly grabbed his throat.

"He can do whatever he wants, and it's not your turn to interfere."

Shuying threw him against the tree trunk with all her strength. Her eyes seemed to be burning with fire as she looked at him: "How do you know that he is willing to come to the game?!"

Qiao Yan looked at him quietly: "It turns out that he didn't enter the game voluntarily."

The raging fire was suddenly extinguished by the pouring water. Shuying's hand trembled and he suddenly let go of the other person.

"Since he didn't come here voluntarily, he can just tell the system administrator if he wants to leave. Why does he have to stay here? He was in the Lower Nine Heavens for so long and I didn't see you take any action. How come he came here immediately to acknowledge you as his master when he arrived in the Upper Nine Heavens?"

Qiao Yan paused for half a second and said indifferently, "Oh," "That's not right. You did take action in the Lower Nine Heavens, summoning more than a hundred people to receive the same kill order. I heard that there hasn't been such a big commotion in the God's Domain in the past ten years. So you are dissatisfied with his management and deliberately trapped him in the game so that you can kill him and start an uprising?"

"I don't!"

"That's another possibility." Qiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, "Some of you can't stand him and deliberately trapped him in the game so that you can kill him and replace him."

Shuying raised her head and glanced at him very slowly. Qiao Yan couldn't tell the difference between the emotions in her eyes, and he didn't intend to tell them apart. "Did you guess right?"

The other party didn't speak.

"Do you even know who did it?" Qiao Yan looked at him, "If you know, why don't you go..."

The voice paused.

Shuying calmly added the second half of his sentence: "Why not expose it, why not make amends, why not drag down the traitor who knocked him down from the temple?"

Qiao Yan said in a positive tone: "You can't do it."

Shuying looked at him.

Qiao Yan turned his back away from the tree trunk and raised his hand to straighten his wrinkled collar. "The system administrator of the player space once told us a very magical story. The general content is that 24 years ago, a traitor betrayed the Lord God, and was later imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and punished until his soul was torn apart."

He added: "The Divine Realm appeared twenty-three years ago."

A wind suddenly blew through the woods, blowing up the remnants on the ground.

Qiao Yan didn't get an answer, and of course he didn't need one. Even if he hadn't experienced it personally, the guilt in the other person's eyes when he first saw Shi Yu was real, which was enough for him to piece together the absurd truth. What he really cared about was: "Did the God's Domain also appear after that? Why? What exactly is it?"

A fallen leaf floated to the center of the river, causing ripples on the calm water surface.

Shuying squatted down and picked a grass from the river bank: "Godhood."

He said: "The entire divine realm is a world derived from the fragments of the Lord God's divinity."
