Leng Yue had no objection. After all, Jiang Yuan had treated her quite well, and standing in front of him was a way of repaying his kindness.
If Jiang Yuan knew this, he would definitely complain. Is that what he calls hiding behind a woman? It's obviously protecting Leng Yue, okay? Haven't you ever watched a TV series about entering a dangerous area? The most dangerous spots are definitely at the front and the back. He hid behind entirely for Leng Yue's sake!
With such noble character, you actually think of repaying a debt of gratitude?
The two people and the puppet had reached the bottom of the crater, and just then, they discovered that the place where they were standing had changed.
"Look, the ground is moving!" Leng Yue pointed her gun at the writhing ground.
Indeed, the ground at the deepest point was writhing like a gelatinous substance, and a pungent smell of blood would occasionally waft up from it; the scene was extremely bizarre.
"The Divine Blood Stone is right below here!" Jiang Yuan was able to pinpoint the location of the Divine Blood Stone, which was indeed beneath the writhing ground.
"Is there a Divine Bloodstone here?" Leng Yue asked in surprise.
"You won't get any! But I'll give you some Holy Spirit Stones!" Jiang Yuan said with a faint smile. He was constantly testing Leng Yue's bottom line, trying to see if she truly wanted to repay his kindness or had ulterior motives.
Leng Yue's expression remained unchanged; she simply turned her head and asked, "What do we do now?"
"Smash it open!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Tianhuntong walked closer to the gelatinous ground. An energy cannon shot out from Tianhuntong's arm, its target being the writhing ground.
Although the Heavenly Soul Child didn't have much divine power to support it, this kind of attack could still shatter rocks, let alone the muddy ground in front of it.
The energy poured down, but instead of the ground exploding as expected, it was silently absorbed. In return, the ground began to writhe even more wildly.
"This?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled. "The Heavenly Eye!"
“Strange creature, slime monster, rank: none.”
Note: It has been corrupted by the will of the Divine Bloodstone.
“This is a living thing! Not an inanimate object!” Leng Yue also noticed something amiss.
roar!
The writhing ground began to roll over in large areas, and in the blink of an eye, a mud ball half the height of a person stood up, with sticky soil flowing up and down, demonstrating the arrogance of non-Newtonian fluids.
Suddenly, a pair of crimson eyes opened from the soil.
Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue felt a chill run down their spines from the gaze, as if they were being stared at by an ancient, malevolent god, and were about to perish in his wrath.
With a flick of his Heavenly Eye, Jiang Yuan immediately broke free from that strange feeling.
"So weak yet so arrogant, he really doesn't know what death means!" Jiang Yuan was very unhappy that he had been intimidated. The other party was clearly a slime monster without any rank, but it was this guy who made him afraid.
"go!"
The spear, like a dragon, aimed straight for the slime monster's eye, and the Heavenly Soul Child also made another move, hoping to achieve victory.
Just as Jiang Yuan had predicted, the slime monster had no ability to resist, and the spear pierced directly into its body.
But because of this, Jiang Yuan discovered that the spear was slipping out of his control and was firmly trapped inside the slime monster's body.
The Heavenly Child's attack had no effect on the slime monster, as if this weak energy attack was insignificant to it.
"You want to devour me!"
A powerful pulling force came from the spear, and the slime monster actually tried to devour Jiang Yuan.
"Ten times—Stealth Assassination!"
The spear that was embedded in the slime monster's body had almost drained all of Jiang Yuan's divine energy; this attack was either successful or it would be his death.
Jiang Yuan was gambling that he could kill the slime monster with one strike. Once he gathered all the materials for the first level of the Divine Wood Codex, he could awaken the body's activity and recover from his injuries with ease.
The slime's entire body was in a state of tremor, and countless drops of black mud were separated out. Jiang Yuan's face gradually revealed a victorious smile.
"Die!" Jiang Yuan wanted to plunge his spear completely into the slime monster's body, letting it unleash its final, magnificent attack.
But then a sudden change occurred: a huge phantom appeared behind the slime.
"God!" Jiang Yuan's pupils shrank. He had never seen a god before, but he subconsciously uttered this word.
"All things perish, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"
The phantom of the god roared to the sky, and the echoes reverberated throughout the entire crater, shaking the very soul.
Leng Yue's legs went weak, and she dared not look up at the illusory divine figure.
"The divine will within the Divine Blood Stone!"
Jiang Yuan's movements came to an abrupt halt. The appearance of the divine phantom suppressed even divine power in every way, rendering him unable to move.
The Divine Blood Stone is formed from the blood of the gods, so it is normal for it to contain a trace of divine will. However, Jiang Yuan did not expect that this divine will would actually manifest.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, what is there to be unwilling about what is gone!" Jiang Yuan's hand holding the spear trembled, his taut veins snapped at that moment, and blood flowed down the spear, drop by drop, into the slime monster.
He looked up at the phantom of the god: "If you don't want to become a victim of my gun, then disperse!"
The spear was pulled out inch by inch, and when the entire spear was revealed, Jiang Yuan pointed it at the phantom of the god.
The divine phantom stretched across endless ages, its gaze finally settling on Jiang Yuan. "An ant, daring to threaten a god?"
"Gods?" Jiang Yuan brandished the tip of his spear, saying disdainfully, "If they're dead, they're no longer gods!"
"They are the dead! Since they are the dead, then..."
Jiang Yuan leaped up, brandishing his spear and thrusting it at the illusory divine figure, shouting, "Under my control!"
"How dare you, you ant!" The phantom of the god stared directly at Jiang Yuan, its immense power self-evident.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan seemed to be purified by the gaze of the gods, but the moment he picked up his weapon, it proved that the other party was no longer an unreachable god, but an opponent, and even more so, a mark of the dead who was repeating the cycle of reincarnation.
"Hidden Assassination!"
His vital energy surged like a dragon into his spear; lacking divine power, he relied on the strength of his flesh and blood—this was Jiang Yuan's desperate approach.
Compared to others' reverence for deities, Jiang Yuan felt more aversion. It was precisely because of the intervention of these deities that the world had become so devastated and filled with suffering; therefore, the deities who brought disaster were not gods.
The spear pierced the head of the phantom god. The god's final expression was quite remarkable. When his will dissipated, he never expected that an ant would dare to attack a god, and that the attack would directly crush the god's head!
As Jiang Yuan, gun in hand, passed through the phantom of the deity, the slime monster on the ground suddenly went berserk, and the slime engulfed Jiang Yuan entirely.
"Gods!" Jiang Yuan's last response as he was pulled into the mud by the slime monster.
Piercing the phantom of the god was not because he looked down on the god, but rather the best counterattack against the god's crushing attitude towards all living beings.
Thump thump thump. After regaining her senses, Leng Yue fired several shots at the slime monster, but the last fragments of the divine phantom had merged with the slime monster after dissipating, making it difficult for these bullets to harm such a non-physical monster.
"Jiang Yuan, grab the rope!"
Leng Yue dropped her gun and threw a rope at Jiang Yuan. She couldn't watch him get swallowed by the slime monster, so she wanted to pull him up.
But it was too late. Under the control of the disintegrating divine phantom, the slime monster became ferocious and vowed to devour Jiang Yuan.
"A tattered mark of the deceased has been found. Should it be recorded?"
