Chapter 872: Not so lucky

When he came to his senses, Joseph found himself lying in the holy coffin.

He endured the strong feeling of dizziness and tearing and propped up his body.

The Holy Coffin is a special ability of the Feathered Man, which can set a specific location and resurrect from that location after death. If the Holy Coffin is not set, it will be resurrected from a random area in the Time Stop Zone.

The so-called holy coffin is actually a space mark made by the winged man with light wings.

The wings of light that look like wings are actually the embodiment of the power of the winged man. Both the holy coffin and the feathered molt are woven from the wings of light.

Joseph pushed aside the black matter buried nearby and saw two holy coffins standing side by side glowing - only when the winged man returned to the holy coffins would they reveal their forms.

That is to say, they are dead too.

[The guerrilla army] was completely wiped out again.

Joseph rubbed his forehead with his hand, thinking back to what had happened before.

They drifted with the black substance to a large void, and then their memories were cut off.

Death will cause related memory loss, and may also cause the loss and stripping of other memories. If you die too many times, you will lose the past and gradually forget everything.

I don't know who killed me, but I think it was a powerful ruler.

None of the three escaped, and they were all killed on the spot by the winged man.

There is also a huge gap between the feathered people.

It is difficult for a Taoist priest to fight against dukes and marquises, and he will surely die if he faces a monarch.

Breaking into the territory of the strong - no matter what the reason, this is the result that Yu Shi has to face.

"Life and death are unpredictable."

The Unaware interrupted his thoughts.

Joseph looked to the side.

The silver monk has left the holy coffin, and another death container formed by the light stream has disappeared.

"Brother, a journey of a hundred steps begins with the halfway point. Looks like we have to start all over again." There seemed to be some kind of compassion in the one eye of the Unawakened One: "Perhaps this is also a revelation."

"Master, tell me about it."

"I think we might as well change direction."

The Unawakened put his hands together and said, "Before this, we have been looking for people with lofty ideals everywhere, gathering strength and expanding our voice. Now that we have been noticed by all parties, our progress has become difficult. We might as well stop for now and enter the divine realm, and make plans there."

Joseph thought for a moment and said, "Master, you are right. I will ask Ratbeard for his opinion later."

He was not worried that those who had not yet realized it were testing him.

This winged monk has no desire for power. He is very similar to the Yao monks in the abyss. They are all trying to understand the workings of the world and comprehend the meaning of all things through thinking and observation.

What the unawakened observe and contemplate is the phenomenon of time stopping.

Before it joined the group, it was Joseph who suggested to it: "Master, if you stay here all the time, it will be difficult to see the whole picture of the time stop zone. If you want to understand a stone, it is best to use another stone for reference and comparison. The peculiarity of time stop is because there is a time phenomenon as a reference."

"If you want to confirm the principle and meaning of time stopping, the answer may be in the other side of the divine realm."

The knowledge of Yao civilization that Joseph had accumulated and his long-term experience in frontline research showed its power at this time.

His long-term and persistent lobbying, as well as verification through various thought experiments, finally gained the affirmation and recognition of the unawakened, and finally convinced them to join him.

Joseph looked at the only remaining holy coffin. The door of the coffin was still closed and the person inside had not come out yet.

He had to knock on the coffin door.

"Are you okay?"

A weak voice came from the holy coffin: "I'll take a rest..."

Joseph could only wait.

The feathered people have immortal bodies, but death will cause some memory damage. Normally, the feathered people also hate death, because death represents the loss of self.

The aftereffects of death of rat whiskers are particularly serious.

It was originally a member of the [Golden Rat Lady] clan, obeying the curse orders of the duke [Rat Lady Lord] and spent a long period of peace and tranquility.

One day, white fire suddenly rose from the body of the Rat Woman without warning and burned it to ashes.

After losing their leader, the entire tribe fell into panic and helplessness. After the building collapsed, the people living inside had nowhere to go.

To make matters worse, a flood of black matter soon swept through the cave where the golden mouse lived.

The Ratbeards were buried in the black mud flow along with most of their kind. If there were no concentrated excavation by a large number of curse insects, they would have been constantly squeezed and buried deep in the internal movement of the black mass until they became part of the black mass.

However, Shuxushi did not die.

When it woke up, it found that it had completed its metamorphosis and had white wings of light growing on its back.

Shuxushi thought of the legend of White Fire.

——The white fire will ignite the winged man and then engulf him, but after a period of time, the winged man will reappear, but at this time the winged man will be very weak and will almost forget everything about himself. It is as if the past part is dead...

It is impossible for me to become a winged person for no reason.

So, am I already dead?

In other words, the current self is no longer myself, but the former Rat Lady? Or the other winged people? In this time-stop zone, are the winged people coming and going the remnant souls of the oldest monarchs? No one can answer it.

But with every death, self-doubt grows and despair towards the world deepens.

It is said that at the monarch stage, the winged people will be able to strip away their own memories for storage.

Shuxu Shi wants to become the monarch of the Golden Mouse Lady clan. Only in this way can he be himself and take control of his future.

Joseph told it: "If you want to become stronger, you can't do it without resources. As far as I know, only a large number of curse tribes and curse insects can accumulate and transform into a new monarch."

"The opportunity is not in the Time Stop Zone. This is not a place for newcomers to make a name for themselves. The opportunity is outside. There are many curse insect colonies growing freely in the Divine Realm. They are a disaster that needs to be eradicated by the gods, but they are an important help to us."

"Would you like to give it a try?"

After thinking about it, Shuxushi decided to give it a try.

Because it has similar ideas, but lacks a clear plan and has no actual travel experience to the outside world.

Joseph was born through celestial being and he knows a lot about the divine realm.

…

After the Rat Whisker left the Holy Coffin, the three Wandering Feathered Warriors discussed and decided to find a safe passage to enter the Divine Realm. These stable passages curled up by Leviathan were basically under the control of the monarchs.

Free travel between the two worlds is the monarch's privilege.

Finally, they mustered up the courage to visit the legendary [Feather Record of the Gods] Amel.

Amer is a peculiar monarch. He has been studying the divine realm for a long time and knows the titles of all gods in the world. The channels he controls are also extremely stable.

The [Guerrilla Army] trudged along the way, tracking the aura of the curse everywhere, and finally arrived at the border of Amel's territory.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

They were received by the monarch.

Amer banned them from entering the country, but also gave them a chance.

"There is a large Leviathan lurking near a passage outside. Bring it to me and I will open the passage for you."

The Three Feathers had to start searching for traces of Leviathan.

It was difficult to find a Leviathan because they were always on the move and were very wary of the Feathered Man. However, Amel had also made arrangements, and he arranged many cursed insects as bait to attract the Leviathan to take the bait.

Leviathan is a creature that can wander between the time-stop zone and the divine realm and possesses certain spatial properties.

They usually devour worlds in the God's Domain, usually prey is the world where life gathers, and then they return to the Time Stop Zone to spit out their offspring by splitting. During this period, they are also vulnerable. Not only is it difficult to move, but their abilities are also weak, so they usually hide.

The larva will slowly take shape under the protection of the previous generation of Leviathan, and then the adult will bring it to the divine realm, find a world for it to linger in, and then start the next generation of independent life.

Leviathan appeared instead of leaving, most likely it was hatching its young.

Cursed insects are a delicious food for Leviathan, but due to the existence of powerful winged people, they are difficult to obtain.

Joseph and the other two watched patiently, and finally discovered something unusual one day.

In the distance, the aura of a large number of cursed insects disappeared! They rushed all the way there at a rapid speed.

Then they saw an astonishing scene: a Leviathan of astonishing size, emitting power, was gnawing on a smaller Leviathan.

One third of the small Leviathan had been eaten. It was protecting a white hydra-like life, desperately spreading its entire body to construct a [Twisted Vortex], trying to suck the predator in.

But the predator's strength was beyond its capabilities, and it bit and chewed without any scruples.

Joseph was stunned by the scene of cannibalism.

"It's not Leviathan...it's Behemoth." Mousebeard said in a deep voice.

Behemoth and Leviathan have the same Time Stop Zone ancestor.

But as life continued to evolve, Leviathan mastered the power to travel through the void, thereby evolving itself into a flexible and fast form, able to obtain vast and abundant prey in the divine realm.

Behemoths, however, took a different path. They became extremely cunning and ferocious, and continued to expand their power. They hunted almost all life in the area, and it was not uncommon for Behemoths to attack the Winged Monarch.

They usually swim in the black matter, open their mouths wide to swallow large amounts of black matter, digest the curse insects and curse clans buried deeply in it, and then excrete the black matter out of the body, just like a whale.

Sometimes they would crash into the black mass, disguising themselves as signs of black mass surges and explosions to scare the curse bugs, allowing them to concentrate the food and devour it in one gulp.

In Behemoth's eyes, Leviathan is also food.

Mousebeard was annoyed: "Leviathan was eaten. We are afraid we won't get any reward if we explain this."

Joseph was determined: "At least we have to try! I'll lead this Behemoth away, and you guys try to rescue the young one. A young Leviathan is still a Leviathan!"

After saying that, Joseph opened the wings on his back and rushed into the battlefield as a ball of strong light.

…

Joseph woke up from the holy coffin with a splitting headache.

He remembered that he seemed to have encountered Leviathan, and that he seemed to have gone alone to lure the monster away.

Joseph suddenly discovered that in the two holy coffins next to him, the Rat-Bearded Man and the Unconscious Man also stood up.

"How come you guys died too?"

Mousebeard had a numb expression on his face: "Thanks to you, we angered the Behemoth and we were all killed."

Joseph smiled awkwardly: "Looks like my luck isn't very good."

Those who have not realized it say, "Look, everyone."

A vortex slowly emerged in front, and Leviathan's body covered with flowing diamond-shaped armor scales appeared inside.

The Leviathan vortex slowly expanded.

A voice came from inside.

"Thank you... I'll give it to you..."

There was a sleeping white larva next to the vortex, floating slowly in the vortex.

The vortex became thinner and thinner.

Leviathan is dying.

Joseph knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he said, "I'll go explore the way first."

He grabbed the Leviathan cub and jumped into the vortex passage.
