"Let's get started!"
Thinking of this, he became more serious. "If this drags on, not only will we be dragged down, but the people outside will also be dragged down to their deaths."
What are you planning to do?
Xie Qingyan readily agreed and calmly inquired about his plan.
"The answer is written in the riddle, isn't it?"
Xu Shi smiled and said, "Since the Sea God recovers in this way, let's cut it off at the root."
"You want to..."
The woman wasn't stupid; she instantly understood what he meant.
He's going to destroy the heart of the sea god!
"Don't you think it's cool?"
Xu Shi smiled and nodded, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. "This might be the only way out, but of course, it won't be that easy."
Destroying the Heart of the Sea God sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult to do.
First of all, this thing has no physical form. As mentioned before, it is a manifestation of energy that is too dense. The only chance is during each cycle when the fragments aggregate into a sphere for a few seconds. If you miss it, you will miss the opportunity and not even be able to find a target.
Secondly, although such cycles may occur countless times, there is only one chance to strike. Who knows if a missed strike will trigger some kind of protection mechanism, and then you'll be in deep trouble.
Finally, we must also consider the aftermath. Such an action is tantamount to hitting a bomb with a hammer. If such a concentrated energy ball is detonated by abnormal means, the resulting energy outburst would be terrifying.
In other words, this is a way out, but it could also be a dead end.
"You might die, are you scared?"
Realizing this, he took a deep breath and looked at Xie Qingyan, asking.
"It would actually sound nice to die with you."
The dog-woman responded with a smile, her answer quite straightforward.
She was even a little smug, "I'm even a little excited. All those little vixens around you have been bothering you for so long, but in the end, isn't it me who gets to enjoy this treatment? Get lost!"
What was originally a normal laugh became a bit strange when paired with those words, even giving off a distorted, tsundere vibe, turning into a yandere...
But upon hearing her say that, Xu Shi's smile grew even stronger. At first glance, the two of them standing face to face gave one the feeling of looking in a mirror.
Yes, they are not afraid of death, or rather, they all understand that it is better to be beaten to death than to be killed by a bear.
To put it more elegantly, a man can be destroyed but not defeated.
Anyway, Xu Shi wasn't afraid. If he had that kind of personality, he would have turned a deaf ear to the existence of "Heavenly Principles" long ago and chosen to hide in the shadows, instead of exploring the wider world and trying to find out the truth hidden behind the scenes like he is now.
"Instead of asking me, you should ask her."
Xie Qingyan was pleased that Xu Shi shared the same idea as her, and happily pointed to Shen Qin beside her, "If you decide to do this, she is the key to its execution, right?"
That's true. They say they're using a hammer to smash a bomb, but neither Xu Shi nor Xie Qingyan are actually qualified to be the hammer. Only Shen Qin can do something that requires force.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi suddenly felt a little fortunate. It really is true that you reap what you sow. If he hadn't implanted the command into Shen Qin and had used other methods instead, he and Xie Qingyan would probably be trapped here now, which would be a truly unsolvable dead end.
So, doing good deeds really does bring good fortune... Oh, I was planning to punish her severely back then? Never mind then.
Xu Shi smiled inwardly, then looked at Miss Shen Qin meaningfully and said, "Stop pretending to be asleep, get up, what do you think of this plan?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qin, who had been leaning against the side with her eyes closed, reluctantly opened them.
She didn't actually need to rest at all. With the help of her self-healing ability, her physical condition was not affected at all. She just looked a bit miserable. Her battle suit was tattered and torn, and large patches of white could be seen without much effort. In addition to the spikes, a lot of corrosive slime had fallen off, which she also had to bear. She could heal herself, but her clothes couldn't, and there were no new clothes for her to change into.
But this does not mean that she is in good spirits; on the contrary, she looks very haggard.
This was unavoidable. Every time the "protect Xu Shi" command took effect, she would be overwhelmed by the pleasure brought by dopamine. She repeated this at least twenty or thirty times along the same path. With such a high frequency of repetition in a short period of time, it's already a testament to her strong mental fortitude that she didn't break down.
But she was also somewhat numb, so when faced with Xu Shi's question, she simply nodded blankly, "Why ask me what my attitude is? What does it matter if I object?"
She was simply forced to comply by him; she was already well aware of his methods.
"Not necessarily."
Unexpectedly, Xu Shi changed the subject and shook his finger seriously, "This time I choose to respect you. If you are not willing, then we will die here together."
? !
Shen Qin wondered if there was something wrong with his ears; how could he possibly say such a thing?
However, after repeatedly confirming that it was indeed the case, she suddenly realized that it really was true... Before she did the detonation of the Heart of the Sea God as the main attacker, it had nothing to do with Xu Shi's personal safety, because this place was very safe, unlike the previous Tentacle Road which was full of dangers.
Xu Shi's attempt to force her was futile. The only tricks he knew were adjusting her sensitivity and so on. It wasn't that this approach was ineffective, but frankly, it wasn't appropriate in the current situation.
