The dark blue gem didn't look particularly eye-catching at first glance. It was completely different from those gems that shone with brilliant light. Instead of emitting light, it seemed to be constantly absorbing the light around it.
This is a gem that doesn't look special from the outside, but no one would underestimate it because of its appearance - this gem is currently emitting a powerful aura that almost absorbs all the energy around it.
This dark blue gem gradually appeared in the vortex of the energy wheat field, and all the energy in the energy wheat field, the blood of countless semi-weird humans, and the corpses of those humans uncontrollably flowed towards the gem along the vortex.
When the energy and the blood of the human corpse followed the vortex to the center, they gradually disappeared like a picture that was gradually erased by a transparent eraser and became transparent. As they disappeared, the dark blue gem became more and more obvious.
It was so obvious that Wu Xiangwang felt he could grab the gem with just his hand.
Wu Xiangwang thought so and reached out to do it.
But his finger passed through the dark blue gem just as it was about to touch it, as if the gem was just an illusion created by his eyes and did not really exist.
Wu Xiangwang stretched out his hand again and again to grab the gem, but failed to catch it.
However, Wu Xiangwang was sure that the gem was real, because when his fingers passed through the dark blue gem, he could slightly feel the fluctuation and stagnation of energy gathering.
This means that the gem he saw with his eyes is real, but this gem, or this "seed" that absorbs nutrients and strength from the energy field, has not yet matured.
Without maturity, it cannot be released.
Then it doesn't exist.
Wu Xiangwang looked at the dark blue gem, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should let the gem successfully "break out of the ground".
The possessed city lord turned the Exiled City into this state, gathering and manipulating countless weird humans, probably in order to absorb their spirits and life force to nourish this "gem".
Since this dark blue gem was buried, it has sucked away countless human lives.
No matter how you look at it, it is a seed of evil for mankind.
As long as this gem is destroyed, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the city lord who has taken over another person's body.
But Wu Xiangwang felt that the gem itself was not guilty, and even if those dead humans wanted revenge, they should not look for such a dead object.
Moreover, he himself had an inexplicable feeling for the gem and did not want to destroy it.
"Well, let's just say that guy has given me a gem collecting habit."
In order to prevent the city lord who had taken over another person's body from using this gem to do evil and harm others, the immortal Wangwang kept this source of disaster in his snail shell hut as a special decoration!
Wu Xiangwang nodded as he thought about this, and his mood suddenly became much better.
However, this good mood did not last long, because his four energy earth dragons rolling in the soil simultaneously saw the Lord of Exile rushing towards them from the City Lord's Mansion.
No, or rather, the Lord of Killing.
When the Lord of Killing City saw the situation in the energy wheat field from afar, his expression became ferocious.
That damned human really turned over the entire land and directly stimulated the "seeds" he planted to take shape.
If this energy gem had not absorbed enough energy to fully mature and stabilize, this energy gem that had cost him countless efforts and had troubled him for nearly a hundred years might have been taken away by this human who had come here inexplicably!
This was something that the City Lord of Slaughter could never tolerate. He was also glad that he rushed over when he realized something was wrong, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Without any extra words, the city lord who had been smiling at Wu Xiangwang and the others in the morning and said that he would never kill any human being, simply raised his hands at this moment, and the flying sand and rocks in the entire energy wheat field were raised.
The soft soil solidified into hard clods at this time, and eventually turned into four huge "earth snakes", roaring and rushing towards Wu Xiangwang!
Mixed among these four giant earth snakes are countless humans, both dead and alive.
No words needed, this human deserves to die!
As for the other humans? Haha, they're just fertilizer for the energy gems. There's nothing to worry about protecting them!
Facing the four huge earth snakes mixed with human bodies, Wu Xiangwang's expression instantly froze and became gloomy.
This damn city lord no longer hides his hypocrisy at this point.
He controlled the four energy earth dragons and four giant earth snakes to collide with each other in the air, allowing the energy earth dragons to rescue humans who could be rescued while penetrating the hard soil.
Regardless of whether the human adventurers are in a normal mood now, as long as they are still alive, their lives must be saved.
Wu Xiangwang's energy was therefore being consumed crazily. It was obvious that the power he had left was far from that of the Lord of Killing, who was already a marquis and about to be promoted to a king.
The four energy earth dragons he controlled began to become illusory after continuously penetrating the four earth snakes.
"Oh! Stupid humans!"
Seeing Wu Xiangwang's energy decreasing, the strange creature in human skin laughed and raised his arm again.
Then, four more ferocious and powerful earth snakes condensed from the ground and came to life.
Four against eight, Wu Xiangwang's face turned pale in a short time.
"You dare to fight this Marquis?!"
"Being ambushed by a human once was already a great humiliation to me. How could I possibly allow a second bug to hurt me?!"
Ten years ago, if He had not underestimated His enemies and been careless, not believing that any human would dare to come directly to Him and die with Him, His body would not have been reduced to nothing.
However, the human who blew himself up only destroyed his energy source core, while his body remained intact.
That's why he has to merge with that dying human being.
Even after ten years, He was still unable to completely destroy the human's soul consciousness.
This is something He has felt angry and regretful about every day and night for the past ten years, so He will never make the same mistake again!
If you want to kill, do it cleanly and decisively, without worrying about any consequences or room for error!
Then countless sharp polished stone spikes appeared silently in the soil, and the next second they were like the sharpest arrows, shooting fiercely at Wu Xiangwang, who seemed to be struggling and unable to cope with the situation.
"Wangwang! Be careful!"
Wu Xiangwang felt the sound of countless sharp blades breaking through the air, and also heard the reminder from his friends.
But at this time, he was surrounded by sharp stone spikes on all sides, even the ground under his feet was not spared.
There was no way to escape, and he didn't even have the energy to summon a shell to defend himself.
Zhang San over there suddenly jumped up and seemed to throw a talisman at him.
"Eternal life! The cycle of heaven and earth! The Vajra Talisman of Life!"
When those stone spikes were about to penetrate Wu Xiangwang's body, a golden light burst out around Wu Xiangwang's body. He felt as if a gentle power from heaven and earth penetrated into his body, and the feeling of rapid exhaustion of power suddenly decreased a lot.
Then, there is the unavoidable feeling of severe pain.
Although his head and body were protected by a layer of golden light, his limbs were still pierced by countless stone spikes.
His hard bones seemed as fragile as wood under the stone spikes. Besides the flying flesh and blood, his right hand was directly pierced by two stone spikes at the same time and broke.
"Wangwang!!! Fuck you!"
Shang Chong's scalp exploded when he saw Wu Xiangwang's body almost completely disfigured in an instant. His voice changed due to anger, and he clasped his hands together and slashed at the arrogantly laughing city lord.
Thunder suddenly roared in the sky, and an unprecedented lightning bolt like a purple dragon fell from the sky and struck the Lord of Killing City directly.
The laughter of the Killing City Lord suddenly stopped, and he looked in the direction of Shang Chong with some shock.
The human who attacked Him with thunder was quite powerful, probably reaching level six and about to be promoted to earl.
It seems that there haven't always been useless people among humans in the past ten years. There are at least one or two people who are still useful.
He was slightly injured by the thunder, but so what? At least the human standing in the middle of the wheat field, coveting his gem, was crippled, if not dead!
That human no longer had hands capable of touching his precious gem. He only needed to control his eight giant snakes to deliver one final blow to completely kill that person. How was that possible?!
The City Lord of Cansha thought so and looked in the direction of Wu Xiangwang. He saw that the human who should have been seriously injured and riddled with wounds was actually standing there almost intact!
Clearly, all four of his limbs had been pierced by sharp stone spikes! Clearly, his arms and legs were broken! And his right hand! It was also broken! But why did he seem to be fine now except for that broken hand?!
At this time, Wu Xiangwang continued to control his four energy earth dragons and earth snakes to shuttle back and forth to save people with a pale face, while walking to the side with gritted teeth. He grabbed his right hand that fell to the ground with his trembling left hand, and then carefully blew away the dirt and blood on his wrist. When he found that he couldn't clean it off, he simply rolled his eyes and pressed the severed hand directly on his wrist that was no longer bleeding.
Even though he could still grow a new, white, tender hand after a while if he threw it away, it was still better to keep his original one! Furthermore, he was very concerned about the precautions in the [Regeneration] skill. It would be bad if he left his hand there for a while and it inexplicably regenerated, regenerated, and regenerated into a moving hand-shaped monster.
Even if it is not a monster, it would be terrifying to think about if a second "Wu Xiangwang" was born!
So Wu Xiangwang took the hand.
And in the shocked expression of the Killing City Lord as if he had been screwed, he gently shook his wrist, and his broken palm, which should have been disabled, was restored to its original state.
Killing the City Lord: "..."
That's fucked up.
Isn't this human's vitality and recovery ability a little too strong?
Is this guy really a human? He seems even more powerful and weird than some weird ones!
Moreover, what made the Lord of Killing City most unhappy was that Wu Xiangwang, who was so tenacious and seemed difficult to kill, inevitably reminded him of the human being whom he had suppressed for ten years but had not been able to completely kill.
Although it is such a weak life, sometimes it is so tenacious that it makes Gui disgusted.
"……Oh."
Well, this human has angered Him. He will use his most powerful moves,
"Ugh! Ugh!"
The Lord of Killing City suddenly hugged his head and shouted.
A mixed and distorted expression appeared on his human face, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes mocking, and sometimes tough.
This face actually showed two completely different expressions and temperaments, which would be terrifying to anyone who saw it at first glance.
"Damn human, you, don't even think about getting out!"
“…”
"Stop struggling! Wouldn't it be better to just sleep and gradually die? Look at you! This city is full of... people who are beyond saving!"
“…………”
"They are desperate and crazy, showing the worst of human nature to the fullest - look! They watch with cold eyes as countless people become hopelessly like themselves! They even take the initiative to kill their own people!"
"A city like this! Humans like this who see no hope at all! Why are you still struggling?! Die! Die die die die die!!!"
"……No."
It was clearly the same voice, but that voice was particularly firm and deep.
"No. Hope is right before my eyes, isn't it?"
"I feel your anxiety from the bottom of your heart."
"And that anxiety can quickly turn into fear and kill you completely."
"Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible! You are dreaming, you are dreaming, you are dreaming, you are dreaming!!!"
"How can a weak, damned bug like you possibly feel my emotions! And there's no way a human could possibly be the one to experience my anxiety and fear!!"
"Shut up! Stop struggling!!!"
But the Lord of Slaughter still failed to completely suppress the obsession of the remaining soul that has not dissipated until now.
After Wu Xiangwang watched the Lord of Killing go crazy on the spot, he actually raised his hand and directly dispersed the four huge earth snakes.
He even seemed to want to deal with the other four earth snakes, but in the end it was as if he was fighting with himself, and he used his right hand to control his left hand.
Wu Xiangwang narrowed his eyes slightly, and he thought of the theory of "taking over another's body".
What stimulated the suppressed soul, causing him to wake up and resolutely help them?
Wu Xiangwang suddenly shouted towards Mushroom: "Master! Chant the sutra!"
Wu Er could clearly hear Wu Xiangwang's words from a distance of a hundred meters. He raised his eyes, which were too deep and calm, and a gleam of light flashed in them, and he understood what his teammate meant.
The Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow continued to ring out from his mouth, and like a trickle of water, it reached the ears of the murderous city lord. It also reached the ears of that "him".
The wise and the brave are the first in the world.
One should be free from suffering and not fall into evil paths.
When the Lord of Killing City heard the endless Buddhist chanting, the ferocious expression on his face became more obvious and his body was almost unable to move.
"He" heard the call of his compatriots and the voice of hope.
He has been suppressed until now and has been unable to reincarnate or resist. He once chose to sleep in despair, but now he can no longer sleep.
He wants to do what he failed to accomplish ten years ago.
At least this time, no matter what, he will drag the chief criminal to hell with him!
Then, the remaining four earth snakes began to become chaotic and difficult to control. They were like crazy, sometimes gathering together to devour humans, and sometimes dispersing into a pool of high earth.
Wu Xiangwang's pressure suddenly dropped, and he immediately looked at the city lord who was fighting with "himself", and for a moment he thought about whether to kill him.
But he finally dropped his eyes.
He can kill the villains, but he cannot kill the brave and lonely hero.
Wu Xiangwang gritted his teeth and used four energy dragons to help Wu Xingyun and the others stop those controlled half-weird humans from sacrificing themselves. He turned his head again to look at the dark blue gem. At this time, the gem had condensed to a certain degree, and it seemed that he could pick it up with just a hand.
Wu Xiangwang took a deep breath and reached out to touch the dark blue gem that was about the size of an egg again.
This time his fingers and palm actually touched it, but when he tried to take it off with force, his fingers passed through it again.
There is no way for him to take off this gem?
Or is there any special method required to remove this gem?
However, Wu Xiangwang's action of reaching out to take the gem seemed to greatly stimulate the Murderous City Lord who was fighting with him. He suddenly raised his head, and the third eye on his head burst into an extremely fierce and cruel light:
"Don't touch my gems!!"
"Human! No one can take my gem from me—"
When he roared these words, countless black threads burst out from around his body. When the black energy threads gathered together, they looked like a black tornado. However, this black tornado soon exploded in the sky, and then... the entire city was covered with these black, sticky energy threads that could not be shaken off.
The semi-weird humans in the entire city, who had been gradually calming down, went completely crazy after being contaminated by the black energy threads. They began to kill each other or kill crazily, but their faces were full of excitement and joy.
“Die, die, die!”
"Death is for eternal life!"
"Hahahaha, what's the point of living? Kill! Kill! Kill everything!"
Then, countless negative energies from their bodies were gathered together and all rushed towards the dark blue gem that could not be taken off.
In just a few seconds, Wu Xiangwang saw that the dark blue gem turned from dark blue to pitch black, and at the same time began to emit an extremely evil aura.
Wu Xiangwang's heart was pounding as he reached out to pull the black gem off. However, just as his fingers were about to touch the black gem, he heard the extremely sinister voice of the murderous city lord:
"The Fallen Eye! Return!!"
Then, this black gem rushed directly towards the Lord of Killing City with an extremely evil aura and light!
Wu Xiangwang chased after the Fallen Eye that had turned pitch black at the fastest speed without thinking. He absolutely could not let this eye merge with the third eye on the forehead of the murderous city lord!
Then everyone will die!
Wu Xiangwang's hand tightly grasped the "Eye of Fallen" at the critical moment, and the moment he held the "Eye of Fallen", Wu Xiangwang felt that his whole body was eroded by evil and extremely negative energy.
In an instant, countless dark and horrible thoughts flashed through his mind, as if the whole world had become bad and filthy because of the Fallen Eye in his hand.
He was disgusted and angry and wanted to throw away the extremely negative thing in his hand.
But he gritted his teeth and trembled his hands, not allowing himself to throw away the Fallen Eye.
In just three seconds, he was stimulated and turned into a strange state.
His sudden change in appearance made the City Lord of Cansha stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter again.
"Hahahaha! Stupid human! Who do you think you are? How dare you snatch my Eye of Fallen with your bare hands?! Just listen to its name and you will know what level of existence it is!
The Eye of Corruption! This is the Devil's Eye! It's a treasure I've expended countless efforts to obtain!
The energy it possesses now exceeds that of a ninth-tier gemstone! It's a tenth-tier treasure!
"Anyone infected by the Eye of Corruption is doomed to fall! They will become evil, cruel, and murderous! I won't need to deal with you; you will die from your own recklessness!!"
"You've become completely weird now. It won't be long before you lose your mind and become a lunatic with a weird appearance! Idiot!!"
"I will quietly watch you, this city, and all the humans in it perish together!"
The Lord of Killing City laughed loudly, as if he had already seen his victory.
Wu Xiangwang tightly grasped the Eye of Fallen in his hand, and his whole body fell into a trance as he was hit by powerful negative energy.
He seemed to see a chaotic scene of a figure frantically killing people amidst countless strange things. He also seemed to see bloody wanted posters exploding across the sky, twisted humans and strange faces, as well as cages in the sky, chains in the deep sea, and...
A blood-stained, twisted throne of scepters.
He couldn't help but moan, countless dark images flashed before his eyes, and the emotions of pain, repressed anger and unwillingness collided in his chest.
What's this?
Why did such a scene appear before his eyes?
Whose vision is this?
Or in other words... whose eyes are those... that he is holding tightly in his hands?
Don't forget each other and stand still.
The body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Even in this extremely negative and painful emotion, he couldn't help but think about that possibility.
He held the gem tightly in his hand and refused to let go no matter what.
Then, he heard the familiar sigh that was filled with inexplicable emotion.
"Don't hold on to something so ugly and evil. You can destroy it, can't you?"
A pair of pale hands with black nails stretched out from behind, embraced his body, and held his palm that was holding the gem.
Don't forget each other, but because of the last sentence, I suddenly felt angry and sad.
He still tightly grasped the Fallen Eye and whispered:
"No."
"It shines brightly and clearly in my eyes."
"It is a very beautiful blue gem."
Abyss's figure kept changing in the black fog. On the other side that Wu Xiangwang could not see, one side of his body had no substance, only black void energy that was dancing in a mess.
And in that half of the black shadow, there was no scarlet pupil where the eye socket of the head should be, only a huge hole.
But in the end, the chaotic black shadows finally coalesced into the magnificent form Wu Xiangwang had first seen. His crimson eyes drooped as he gazed at the human in his arms, and he finally smiled helplessly.
"...Since that's what you wished for, then it must be...a beautiful blue gem."
