Chapter 271 The Trial Begins
Chen Xiaotong scratched her head and waved to the students behind her: "Come on, hurry up and follow us, the enemy is about to attack."
Abyssal creatures can see much more than humans.
Although due to Chen Xiao'er's influence, the external image of the surrounding environment is extremely inclined to a tall tower, Chen Xiaotong can still "see" the normal operation of the ritual formation.
The hourglass-shaped space was rotating at high speed, and they were equivalent to standing on the thinnest part of the hourglass, stuck on the platform in the middle with the sand.
The lower part of the "hourglass" is continuously absorbing the energy of the abyss, while the upper and lower parts rotate synchronously, but the energy flow inside is empty, similar to a human sucking air with a straw.
Chen Xiaotong glanced at the upper part of the hourglass in confusion. The radiation energy on the surface wouldn't require such a strong suction force.
Is it necessary to maintain a perfectly consistent rotational speed to maintain the normal operation of the ritual of power, or is there some other reason? What exactly is Despair trying to attract with this ritual?
She looked up and gradually noticed the stars twinkling in the sky, and finally she understood.
"Ah, ah! I get it!"
Chen Xiaotong screamed and scurried around on the ground, her little tail swishing. She still couldn't find a way to ascend, but an answer seemed to be on the horizon.
rustling.
A light suddenly lit up in the sky, as if a god had ignited a planet in the universe.
Is the meteor shower about to start? So soon?!
Chen Xiaotong was so frightened that her eyes widened and she exclaimed "Huh~" After she saw clearly, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: it was not a meteor, but just a beam of strong light and a corresponding shadow. Anyone standing in front of a searchlight could cast such a shadow.
"Don't relax, it's a mirror image in the abyss!" Zheng Lu held her shoulders and reminded her loudly.
Chen Xiaotong quickly lowered her head, and she transformed her power into waves and spread them out. Sure enough, she found a familiar figure in the shallow layer of the abyss.
Xu She, dressed in gorgeous attire, was fixed at the bottom of the ceremony. Pure golden chains still bound his limbs, but the pure black mist surging around him seemed to be out of control.
A cold, mechanical electronic sound came from the mist.
[The princess who voluntarily sacrificed herself is bearing the wrath of the divine bird, and she will surely succeed.]
Goodness! Chen Xiaotong narrowed her eyes: Despair wants to start a new business and compete with Glory. No wonder they designed the multi-power ritual to unfold in a mirrored manner.
He has now snatched away the "princess" designated by the church, and will later bring his sister, played by the queen, to witness the event. Finally, he himself will take the stage to play the god of love, using the gravity of the star core to attract meteor showers to provide energy for the leap. What a clever idea!
As she stared into the abyss, the students beside her were quickly assembling their weapons. They equipped themselves and squatted at the edge of the ceremony area, eager to give it a try.
Chen Xiaotong raised his tail and slapped the ground, warning, "Don't even think about going down there and causing more trouble. You're still too far from the level of despair."
At first glance, there seemed to be only a weak snake at the bottom of the ceremony, but Chen Xiaotong knew with her tail that he must be carrying a trump card.
Since Despair wanted to play the role of the God of Love himself, it was impossible for him to descend into the body of Xu Snake. So the thing in his body now was most likely the Devouring Snake.
Chen Xiaotong was a little hesitant. Neither the students behind her nor the humans on the human soul front could cause effective damage to the Devouring Snake.
Moreover, this is the "stage that has already begun", so the only "person" who can go down and interrupt this performance is her who is "supposed to play the princess".
She didn't mind helping Guanghui when necessary, but there were at least two factors working against her.
The first layer is the narration just now. Despair used his own power to mix the script of the church witnessed by his sister, and the human who plays the princess will easily pass the trial.
The second level is the compatibility issue. She and the Devouring Snake are essentially branches of the same entity.
If she didn't have a sister, she would immediately "compare the size" of the energy level after the alien snake appeared, and then be absorbed back into her body by the larger alien snake.
Even with her sister's interference, the "snake" still has the instinct to gather towards the strongest.
If I jump down here to show off, I might be swallowed by the devouring snake.
Ugh, I don’t want to form a more complete snake with it and be manipulated by despair to deal with my sister!
While she was hesitating, the black mist had transformed into black birds, flying around Xu She.
If I don't intervene, despair will finish this scene and seal the ending of "The Princess Passes the Trial"!
Chen Xiaotong gritted his teeth and pointed his tail forward: "Leave this to me, you go first."
Without saying a word, the students followed Lin Lang and her father and rushed out.
Chen Xiaotong crouched on the floor, took a deep breath, and then, groping in the air, she pulled out a gorgeous princess dress. This dress was the costume the church had prepared for her.
Tsk~ You still have to wear it in the end.
She muttered to herself as she put the skirt over her head. When her head popped out from the collar, she suddenly saw the sky lit up with brilliant flashes of light.
Oh no, is it too late?
Chen Xiaotong ran forward in a wrinkled princess dress, trying to find the basement leading to the mirror ceremony despite the impact of the zero reset.
As she ran, she suddenly realized something was wrong: the arrival of the meteor shower would bring a large amount of pure energy, and the feeling would be so comfortable that she rolled on the ground.
But now these approaching energies were not absorbed immediately by the skin, and were filled with a dangerous aura.
Chen Xiaotong raised her head again.
The golden meteor shower was getting closer and closer, and every star emitted a strong flash of light when it fell. One after another, golden edges cut through the empty darkness in the "hourglass", revealing the true shape inside.
That's not a meteor, it's an apostle!
Why? Chen Xiaotong opened her eyes wide: They had directly broken through the blockade of despair. The place where Xu Snake was was clearly the "stage", so why were the apostles allowed to enter?!
Apostles appeared one after another in the light. They spread their wings of light in the sky and rushed down into the abyss.
One after another, spears of light fell from the sky and pierced into Xu She's body with decisive throws.
Chi chi.
The gray liquid and the pure black haze were entangled together, forming a snake-like spiral that kept swirling.
The Devouring Snake held on to the broken container and refused to show its head.
The instincts of the ancient abyss creatures were extremely clear, and the group of apostles forming an array in front of them was extremely difficult to deal with.
What's more, He also smelled the breath of another "original body".
Even though the personality similarity of the Devouring Snake was not high, he instinctively sensed the danger lurking behind him.
Rustle, rustle.
The Devouring Snake quickly coiled inside the dying Xu Snake's body, waiting for Despair to defeat Glory so it could come to its aid.
Despair was indeed controlling him, but this control was also voluntary. The Devouring Snake knew that Despair was preparing for a quick battle with Chen Xiao'e.
The ability to reset to zero would continuously erode her enemies. Chen Xiao'e had grown too powerful. Aside from the star core itself, no abyssal creature could possibly win a direct battle against it despite the prolonged erosion.
If Despair cannot devour Chen Xiao'er before the meteor shower arrives, it will immediately evacuate and can only deal with Chen Xiao'er indirectly outside the influence range of Zero.
He definitely doesn't want to drag on into a protracted war!
The will of the Devouring Snake made the gray mist more turbulent, and the gushing energy continued to repair Xu Snake's wounds, allowing him to continue to survive.
Even if one light spear after another pierced his body, they could not tear it apart completely.
Lin Yi retracted his wings of light, waved his golden blade, and fell rapidly from the sky.
Snap.
That sharp edge completely ripped open Xu She's belly. At the same time, a transparent staircase spiraling upwards appeared beneath Lin Lang's feet.
......
A sweet scent permeated the lounge.
Chen Xiao'er lay happily in Ling's arms, and the two of them curled up on the box like two kittens from the same litter.
That's great! I can go with Zero after the show~
Although there was still some vague guilt in my heart, at this moment my imagination about the future became uncontrollably romantic.
The scene she imagined was no longer herself walking through the crowd with a weapon in her hand, with an expressionless face, nor was it riding a motorcycle with Lan and wandering around the world.
Instead, he imagined that after the revenge was completed, everyone escaped successfully without getting into any trouble along the way.
They can take high-speed rail to every corner of the world.
Mountains covered with red leaves, beaches full of shells, and even ski resorts covered with snow.
Xiaotong usually has to attend classes at school. During the winter and summer vacations, she, Ling, Xiaotong and Sister Lan can carry baskets and have a picnic on the green fields.
Chixing has many mountains, and there are definitely magnificent views that will be unforgettable.
She closed her eyes, as if she had seen the light of day awakening the dawn, the golden sun rising from the sea of clouds, and birds chirping in the misty mountains.
Beep, beep, beep.
The phone screen automatically lights up and a text message pops up.
[Xiao Nuan: The show is about to start, hurry upstairs, the performance area has been moved to the rooftop~]
Rooftop? Chen Xiao'er was a little dazed. She remembered that the top floor of the bell tower should be...
Click, click, click.
The narrow picture in my memory shattered and turned into a huge pavilion with a wide space.
Yes, the school's tower covers a large area, so there is a huge platform for stargazing on it. There are telescopes, ancient bronze bells, and -
The scene of Zheng Xiuli and her carrying fireworks flashed by.
——And there were many boxes of fireworks that Zheng Xiuli and I carried.
Zeroing affects reality, and reality in turn affects zeroing.
Despair's shielding of the weapons reserves suddenly failed, and all the strange objects and incendiaries that the students had moved in advance were confirmed by her memory at this moment and reappeared in the corresponding areas.
Chen Xiao'er's thoughts flashed through her mind, and she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Xiao Ai: Xiao Nuan, why are you the one to inform me? Didn't the school send a text message?
After she sent it, she felt something was wrong and wanted to explain that she did not suspect Xiao Nuan of lying.
However, Xiao Nuan responded very quickly today and sent a second text message immediately.
[Xiao Nuan: Because someone tried to harass you over the phone before, I found out and simply blocked all your calls and text messages temporarily. I didn't expect that school notifications were also blocked. Sorry QWQ]
Chen Xiao'er smiled helplessly.
Xiao Nuan also meant well. She was really annoyed by the bad guy who sent the fraudulent text messages and shouted that he wanted her to die.
Xiao Ai: Thank you~ But you don't have to monitor my phone anymore. (Bunny wiggles)
Even Xiao Nuan cares a little about her privacy.
[Xiao Nuan: I understand! Because that guy wanted to give you the virus, so I helped you protect yourself. (Maomao nods)]
[Xiao Nuan: Go perform! See you later~]
[Xiao Ai: OK~ (Cat thanks)]
Chen Xiao'er put down her phone and held Ling's hand.
"Let's go, let's finish our last show."
Zero's smile seeped into her eyes along with the shadow in them, and she nodded gently: "Okay."
