Chapter 334: Monster Nest Island

A cold wind blew past, and the frost-covered leaves trembled slightly.

The amount of blood the clown had lost was alarming, so Jiang Huai Que had to find a clean place to put him down and stuff him with a few fresh pills that he had prepared in advance.

"The medicine is too new and may not be very effective, but you don't have a choice now." He quickly explained the situation.

Before the clown could say anything else, the other party stuffed medicine into his mouth.

After a moment, listening to the other party's slightly calmer breathing, Jiang Huaiqu stood up and looked at the blasting area in the distance which was gradually returning to calm. Suddenly, a message popped up on the guild panel.

【Xu Zhiyan: Come back soon, don’t dawdle. 】

No teasing, no joy.

Xu Zhiyan rarely sends such short messages.

Jiang Huaique moved his lips and asked in a serious tone.

"Is Cen Jinyue really dead?"

He was the one who shot the arrow. The Thunder Longbow was equipped with more than a dozen arrows with amazing explosive power. No one knew its power better than him.

Theoretically, he should know better than anyone that the cooperation with the Joker was very successful this time. The unprepared caster would leave a flaw. These explosive arrows burst from Cen Jinyue's flesh, emitting terrifying power, enough to kill this guy a hundred times.

Xu Zhiyan would not send such a message for no reason.

The clown laughed a little when he heard it.

"Don't worry." He replied softly, lying on his back on the cold ground.

Mimics are not unkillable.

Everything in the world has its own rules. As long as life is alive, there will be a day when it will end. Unless you break the rules, all living things will eventually turn into a handful of dust.

Even though these creatures with mimicry skills are strong and much more powerful than humans, they can still die if they are injured. The only difference is the 'number' of deaths.

When more than half of the body becomes transparent, the mimic can no longer maintain its human identity, and can no longer use props and skills. That is when they are most vulnerable, and it is also the best time to kill them in one go.

He had seen the power of the Thundering Longbow with his own eyes.

"Unless Cen Jinyue can revive with the help of some other medium, there is no way she can get up again."

After saying that, the clown moved his stiff fingers and propped himself up to sit up.

The clown was not a boaster. After hearing the other party's confident answer, Jiang Huaique's slightly tense mood relaxed a lot.

He thought to himself that when he saw Xu Zhiyan later, he would definitely laugh at him for being timid.

The seriously injured patient has recovered a little, and the two plan to find a non-bumpy means of transportation so that they can get back to the church monster's nest as soon as possible.

It’s a pity that Jiang Huaique picked out several props for transportation, and the clown seemed unable to bear them all. In the end, he could only take out the wooden cart that Xiaocuigu had nailed on the spot with a look of disgust.

"Is a cart okay?"

"Have you noticed that the moon has gotten bigger?"

The clown answered the question irrelevantly, and his tone was not as relaxed as before.

Jiang Huaique was stunned and raised his head to look above his head.

There is not a single cloud or star in the sky tonight.

There was only a huge, dazzling moon in the sky, so clear that it was frightening.

It seems...it has indeed grown bigger.

Before the two could react, a black line appeared on the bright full moon.

At first, there was only a thin black mark, but in just a blink of an eye, the black mark spread, and in an instant, the entire moon was covered with spider-web-like black lines.

In the live broadcast room, the audience felt like they were on a roller coaster ride.

[Aa ...

[Yes, they did win! Damn, I was more excited watching them than they were fighting! ]

[I really want to know if Jiang Huai's hands were shaking when he was shooting the arrow. To be honest, I felt incredible when Xiao Baiwan gave him the most important shot.]

[Indeed, if it were me, I would definitely arrange for the Joker to deliver the final blow.]

[Damn, so the Moon Goddess is really dead?! ]

[Of course! Even if you have 20 lives, it won't be enough for this series of explosions.]

[No... I went to Cen Jinyue's live broadcast room and took a look. His live broadcast room was still on.]

The thin line on the moon is getting thicker and thicker.

Something bad is happening.

Before Jiang Huaique could react, he saw smoke and dust in the distance suddenly fall to the ground. There was no figure in the empty area. Then, the trees around the island began to collapse.

The location was at a high altitude, and his keen senses allowed him to hear the faint sound of waves, and the sea water around the island had also changed.

The moon gradually grew larger and brighter.

However, the lines on it became thicker and thicker, as if they were being stretched to their limits.

It was quiet all around.

Jiang Huai Que watched the moon shatter into pieces.

A familiar voice came from all directions.

"I underestimated you."

"You are indeed worthy of my use of the Moon of Eternal Life."

There was no change in Cen Jinyue's voice, but the implicit anger in it made people shudder.

After the moon shattered, the entire island lost its light source and fell into a brief darkness.

When the moon, which had been eroded by black lines, lit up again, a tall and slender figure appeared at the place where the explosion stopped.

Bright crystals fell from the sky.

Reborn with the help of the moon, all the clothes on Cen Jinyue's body disappeared, but he did not look embarrassed at this time. Instead, he stood openly, allowing the crystals falling from the sky to fall into his body and penetrate into his skin.

When the opponent came a little closer, Jiang Huaique could see clearly that the outside of the opponent's body was covered with a layer of irregular crystal-like armor.

Is that a fragment of the moon?

He couldn't help but think.

However, before Jiang Huaique could figure out whether these crystals were skills or something else, the next second, countless fragments attacked him with terrifying pressure.

So fast! I can't resist it at all!

He wanted to run, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.

Jiang Huaique closed his eyes and forced himself to summon the Shadow of Death to fight against it, but without the advantage of long distance, the huge power difference made his whole body as tense as a bowstring.

It’s too late…

“Clang! Clang—”

"laugh……"

Jiang Huaique felt a black screen before his eyes, and heard the sound of hard objects colliding and fragments piercing into the body.

The strange thing was that he felt no pain.

Jiang Huaique looked up in a daze, and all he saw before his eyes was a broad, blood-stained back.

...It's the Joker.

The seriously injured man climbed up again and stood in front of Jiang Huaique.

A palm-sized black bag was thrown into Jiang Huaiqie's arms.

"Let's go." As he said this, the clown activated the few defensive props he had left, his voice full of reluctance and extremely contradictory relief.

"You have a perfect body that is rarely seen in humans. This is why you are targeted by the Utopia. But it's too late. The time left for you to grow is too short."

He usually doesn't talk much.

Now explain everything in detail.

"If Xu Zhiyan can take you away, then I will give you my power, and you will avenge me."

No one knows Cen Jinyue's abilities better than the Joker.

After he caught a glimpse of the other person coming back to life, he knew there was no chance of him surviving today.

Jiang Huai Que is very good. This young newcomer has unlimited potential, a strong will, and is opposed to the Utopia. In time, he will surely be able to inflict heavy damage to the Mimic.

The clown suddenly realized that he had no reason not to die.

He just relied on the fact that he had much more time and experience than Jiang Huaique, and had the assistance of the summoner and Dou Hongshan, so he did not take any detours since entering the game.

But the power he displayed now was his limit.

He couldn't move up one more spot.

He couldn’t even kill Cen Jinyue, let alone kill the third-ranked Ghost Lion and get real revenge.

"Why……"

Jiang Huai Que found his voice again.

Even if the other party's power can be transferred, he should have a more suitable person.

The clown didn't expect the other party to ask this question. After coughing up a mouthful of blood, he answered in a hoarse voice.

"Because there is hatred in your eyes."

Because even if other people get this power, they have no chance of winning. Only Jiang Huaique has this possibility.

The remaining protective shield began to shatter.

As a player with large-range output, Cen Jinyue's movement speed is not fast, but the two of them have moved closer during their conversation, and the sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.

"Walk."

The clown didn't look back, but just said a word lightly.

The wounds from the previous battle had burst open, and coupled with the new wounds caused by the crystal just now, his blood had accumulated at his feet, emitting a desperate bloody smell.

However, he did not wait for the sound of Jiang Huaique's footsteps leaving.

He heard the man behind him roar in an angry tone: "Damn it, your father hates the Riddler the most in my life. Didn't your teacher teach you to avenge your own grudges?!"

The clown was stunned. He glanced at Jiang Huai Que walking out from his side, his hand holding the sickle still trembling a little.

Jiang Huaique turned around angrily with a fierce look in his eyes.

"I can't cooperate with you well, it's you who has the problem, understand?"

After cursing, he took a deep breath, stared at Cen Jinyue who was covered in broken crystals in the distance with burning eyes, exerted force on his feet, and rushed out.

Sensing that the opponent was about to leave the range of the defensive props, the clown panicked.

He wanted to ask Jiang Huaique to leave.

But at the moment when Jiang Huaique escaped from the defense range, a cold mechanical sound appeared in everyone's ears.

"Attack weapon SS0001 Shiva arrives on the battlefield."

"Defense equipment has been delivered."

An accelerating missile suddenly rushed towards Jiang Huai'er's head, dumping snowflake-shaped props accurately on him.

Another round of spike attacks carrying heavy pressure came.

Jiang Huai Que did not slow down, but instead went faster and faster! He rushed forward as if he could not see Cen Jinyue's new round of attack and was ready to die.

Before the spike was about to hit him, several missiles as thick as fingers slammed into the white crystal.

“Swoosh—bang!”

"Anti-missile system activated, 100% hit rate"

Shiva's voice was particularly pleasant in the dense smoke and dust. Jiang Huaizhe's figure broke through the smoke and continued to move forward.

The two were not far apart.

Shiva, as a war machine, cooperated with Jiang Huaique seamlessly. Soon he approached Cen Jinyue at an extremely fast speed.

The opponent's skills seemed to be ineffective, and all gravity attacks that fell on his body were blocked by various defensive props. Sometimes one skill could even explode two or three, but with Shiva's supplies, dozens of defensive props on Jiang Huaique's body were broken in a row, as if they were endless.

Cen Jinyue lost her original composure and looked shocked.

He took on Jiang Huaique's fierce attack head-on.

The Joker watched all this in shock.

It was not until Jiang Huaique succeeded in his attack and quickly retreated, picked him up and ran away, that he vaguely realized that money is also a skill.

Jiang Huaique was not as relaxed as he looked, his palms were sweaty from nervousness.

If someone had told him ten minutes ago that he could cut off Cen Jinyue's outer defense with one knife and deal a heavy blow to the opponent, he would definitely have cursed the other person for being delusional.

But he received a message from his teammates.

【Xu Zhiyan: Attack in a straight line, retreat after one strike.】

He believed in his teammates with all his heart, and they never let him down.

…

In the open space outside the church.

Xu Zhiyan leaned on the ammunition box, looking at the image transmitted back by Shiva on the silver screen in front of him, his expression slightly solemn.

Glancing at Jiang Huaique's successful retreat, he breathed a sigh of relief, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

They are all still alive and everything is under control.

【Xu Zhiyan: Son, run faster, Daddy is worried about you.】

【Jiang Huai Que: Are you sick? 】

The conversation in the guild chat box changed in an instant.

Dou Hongshan was standing by and witnessed everything.

When she saw Shiva, her evaluation of Xu Zhiyan changed.

"Why didn't you use a weapon to kill Cen Jinyue?"

She asked cautiously.

Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and pointed to the sky above his head.

"Do you think we can kill him?"

The full moon is high in the sky.

The moon that had shattered and disappeared is now hanging in its original place.

The Moon of Eternal Life.

He had mentioned this word when Asa was integrating information about the ruins world. In certain specific environments, it would lead to extremely special and powerful passive skills.

As long as the moon is there, there will be endless resurrection.

Dou Hongshan seemed to understand something, but also felt a little confused.

"...Since he can't be killed, why let Jiang Huai Que attack?" Wouldn't it be better to just use Shiva to cover his escape?

This question earned her a look of idiocy.

Xu Zhiyan spoke calmly.

“Only by showing strength can I sit at the negotiating table.”

The battle was too costly.

There is no doubt about Cen Jinyue's strength. In just a few breaths, she has invested props worth tens of millions of points.

This was after he had tried to pick the cheapest one when choosing Shiva's attack module. If he wanted to achieve better results, he would have to spend at least 30 or 50 million to make it impossible to kill someone.

“I need a win-win situation.”

"It can solve the problem of Cen Jinyue and save money."

As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan laughed.

Both sides of this win-win situation will belong to him.
