"Hey, don't say that." The girl said in a soft and polite voice, "Dao Xuanzong was the one who caused the trouble first. I was just returning the favor. Why not just go and die obediently?"
And I have to go to the trouble of killing you.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Lanzhou disappeared from the spot.
"when!"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard. Shen Lanzhou was very fast and she could always chop off the enemy's head before they could react.
But this time she met her match. The old man in front of her was not fast, but he could always block her attacks accurately and even had enough strength to fight back.
Seemingly slow but actually fast, using stillness to control movement.
As expected of an old fellow who has lived for hundreds of years, he has superb martial arts skills.
But you only have two hands, and I have countless tentacles.
The shadow underground suddenly burst out with countless twisted and wriggling shadow tentacles like seaweed, cooperating with Shen Lanzhou to attack the enemy.
“Squeak!”
The head flew off, leaving behind a headless body and a bowl-sized wound from which blood gushed out like a fountain.
Shen Lanzhou took a few steps back to avoid the spurting blood, and threw out gasoline and flames, intending to destroy the enemy's body first.
This old guy was able to survive the center of a nuclear explosion, so there was no reason why he would be beheaded so easily by himself.
A chubby little white hand emerged from the belly of the headless body and knocked away the flames.
"Sly little devil, so cautious."
With a disgusting and terrifying sound, the abdomen of [Grandfather]'s body bulged high, and with a "swish" sound, a boy wearing a red bellyband, who looked like a doll in a New Year picture, crawled out.
A sinister smile appeared on his cute round face: "You might as well take a look at your legs."
"What?"
Shen Lanzhou lowered his head and was horrified to find that his limbs and body were covered with spider-web-like scarlet lines.
when?
She had clearly cut off the leg before the red line climbed up and carefully stayed away from it.
During the battle, considering that the old guy might still be poisonous, Shen Lanzhou remained cautious to avoid being hurt by the other party.
Doubt filled her heart. Shen Lanzhou was already a B-level mythical creature. Ordinary toxins and bacteria could not harm her at all. In addition, she had been hiding in the shadow world, and the only ones who appeared outside were projections...
Yes, projection.
The tricks hidden in the shadow world are useless to this old guy who possesses the power of the Heavenly Master.
"What kind of poison is this?"
The eyes on his cheekbones had already opened, but he couldn't tell what the scarlet lines clinging to his body were.
The eyeballs hidden beneath her skin, within her body, seemed to have been choked by an irritant, tightly shut, unable to open at all. Thin, scarlet threads even crawled up her eyes.
After quietly occupying her entire body, the red line finally began to attack. A feeling of weakness and powerlessness permeated Shen Lanzhou's entire body. The shadow energy that protected her body was being consumed at a terrifying rate. Once the shadow energy was exhausted, her real body would be in trouble.
Shen Lanzhou dived into the shadow world, but the red line attached to her body did not seem to be dependent on the environment and was still devouring her at a terrifying speed.
I didn't expect that the seemingly insignificant poison could be so powerful.
What a cruel and cunning old man! As soon as we meet, he uses his ultimate killer move!
"Poison? Humph, shortsighted."
The grandfather who had turned into a New Year picture doll sneered and stood at a distance looking at her calmly, seemingly unwilling to get close.
"This is a good thing...but I won't tell you what it is, so just be a fool!"
He sneered and stared at Shen Lanzhou from a distance, as if he wanted to watch her die.
It is a poison, yes, but this poison is not that poison. It is a virus, an ancient virus that was buried deep under the glaciers in the past.
An ancient object said to be able to kill gods.
Shen Lanzhou felt his skin and muscles being dissolved, and his body, which should have been extremely strong, was unable to resist the erosion.
This is outrageous... How can such an unreasonable thing exist...
She gasped for breath and fell to her knees weakly, her vision becoming blurred.
How did you get involved with this?
The system awakened after sensing danger to the host.
"I've been tricked by a cunning old man. Can I get rid of him?"
[No, this is a memetic virus. It has locked onto you the first time it comes into contact with you and will not stop until it has eaten you clean.
Originally, the Polyhedrons enslaved the Shoggoths as slaves, but those living creatures were rebellious by nature and would awaken and rebel every now and then.
So, the Polyhedron, based on the power of a certain terrifying god, developed a memetic virus - the Devourer, which was specifically used to kill the rebellious Shoggoths.
After the Polyhorns became extinct, these viruses died along with them. I never thought you would encounter them here...
Alas, although I anticipated that separation would come, I didn't expect it to be so soon. Shen Lanzhou, I will miss the time we spent together. Goodbye.
"Are you the kind of person who, whenever you run into trouble, threatens to split up and return to Gao Village?"
Shen Lanzhou said with a wooden face: "I have a solution."
What method?
"I won't tell you, Bajie."
[Quack! Damn you little brat! I can figure it out without you telling me!]
The conversation in the mind seemed very long, but in reality only a few seconds passed.
Most of the flesh on his body had melted, revealing the white bones and scarlet internal organs underneath.
Grandfather, standing in the distance, frowned. Could this youngster be so incompetent? Could such a person be worthy of paving the way for the Heavenly Lord?
But if she died, how many more years would it take to find a new successor? And...
The crimson sky seemed to grow even darker, as if the entire sky was about to collapse onto the ground.
[Ubo] is almost out of patience.
