The deep sea ten thousand meters below is pitch black, and the water pressure here is extremely terrifying, with the pressure for every square centimeter reaching one ton.

But under such heavy pressure in the deep sea, there is a waterless area with a diameter of one kilometer.

There, a red vortex hundreds of meters high was slowly rotating, emitting strong spatial fluctuations, and the invisible and pervasive boundary power around it formed a powerful force field.

Under the power that runs through the two worlds, the sea roared violently, forming a vortex covering dozens of kilometers, reaching the sky and the earth, and rolling up endless sea water.

boom!

The sea water on one side of the vortex exploded, and a black giant python with a body length of more than 200 meters, covered with black scales and emitting the aura of a mid-level ninth level, rushed out.

Lines of black power surrounded this ferocious giant python. The rocks beneath it shattered as it swam, and it slowly came to the world's passage.

In front of the rotating red vortex was a huge black scale of an unknown creature that was over ten meters long and several meters thick.

The scale was just stuck on the rock, but the invisible aura of terror it emitted made the dark python feel awed and submissive, and it instinctively lowered its ferocious head.

At this moment, a powerful mental will burst out from the dark python and hit the scale.

"Roar! My king, the Xukun you asked your subordinates to pay attention to is dead."

Boom! The black scales vibrated instantly, and with the scales as the medium, a terrifying force penetrated the world channel and descended.

As the power that was superior to all living things spread, the sky distorted, as if a mirage projected the image of another place.

The ground there was cracked, with hot magma burning in the cracks. In the rolling sea of ​​magma and fire like in hell, a hideous head as huge as a mountain appeared.

On the head of the black giant beast that looked like a dragon but was not, three pairs of long spiral horns pointed diagonally toward the sky, with purple-red flames burning on them, emitting terrifying power that twisted the void.

The ferocious beast lowered its head slightly, its gaze piercing through the void and falling on the dark python. Its majestic and domineering thoughts shook the void, and it let out a deep roar.

"Dead! Xu Kun is quite powerful, and there is also the blue dragon. Are they going to provoke the humans on the opposite land?"

The dark python growled respectfully, "King, these are not humans from the land, but several other extraordinary beasts."

"I asked a follower of a Xukun that escaped. It seems that Xukun has a grudge against the group of extraordinary beasts and once hunted down a member of the other side."

"After learning of Xu Kun's death, I sent a retainer who was specially raised and good at speed in the water to get information."

"According to what my followers have discovered, this is a new force of extraordinary giant beasts that have been expanding their territory in the east recently."

"The extraordinary creatures of this emerging force are extremely ferocious. They kill any beast they see. Every time they occupy a new territory, they will celebrate with a bloody massacre."

"Based on their current speed, I am worried that it won't be long before this group of ferocious supernatural creatures invade the territory surrounding the passage and affect your arrangements."

Unlike those 'wild' beasts, the language and information expression of this dark python are very precise, just like a 'cultured' intellectual.

And it does not have the brutality and recklessness of those giant beasts, but rather calmness, or the coldness unique to snakes.

After the report, the dark python bowed its head respectfully, waiting for the order from the terrifying beast.

In the red-hot magma, the will of a giant beast emitting a mythical and terrifying aura penetrated the void and descended, turning into a deep roar that resounded through the seabed.

"This group of extraordinary creatures were able to kill Xu Kun, who had quasi-mythical potential, and the blue dragon. They are quite powerful and qualified to be my followers."

"Roar! Tal, bring my 'power' to subdue them. If these extraordinary creatures are unwilling to submit, kill them all."

After the order was given, the will that penetrated the world left, and the mirage projection in the sky slowly disappeared.

However, the dark python did not leave, but waited quietly in front of the passage.

After about half an hour, the rotating red vortex shook violently, and the aura of a quasi-mythical beast wafted over from the opposite side.

…

The weather in June has become hot, and the streets are full of beautiful women wearing cool clothes, some of which are of amazing quality.

However, Chen Chu is not Li Daoyi. Usually, when he meets a very beautiful girl, he will just glance at her and pass by her. He will not add her as a friend or send her a red envelope.

Old town.

Walking on the tree-lined sidewalk, Luo Fei's eyes showed emotion, and she whispered: "I loved this street the most when I was a child, because there were many delicious and fun things."

"At that time, my aunt was still in high school, and she would bring me here every time she had a holiday."

Chen Chu was a little curious: "Why did you go to Simon later? Because your father worked there?"

"Um."

Luo Fei nodded, and then her eyes lit up, her gaze fell on an old shop on the corner not far away, a little surprised: "That shop is still there."

"Chen Chu, let's go over and take a look." The girl said and trotted over happily.

More than ten minutes later, the two came out holding a bunch of snacks. The girl smiled and said vaguely while eating, "How is it? There are a lot of delicious food in there."

Chen Chu smiled and nodded: "It's really good."

The store we just visited is a store that specializes in selling traditional snacks.

Of course, this "old" refers to more than ten or twenty years ago, not dozens or hundreds of years ago. After all, if the time is too long, the boss won't be able to find a place to purchase things.

This kind of store usually sells feelings, so business should be good on normal days.

"Chen Chu, I'll take you to a good place."

After walking around the old city, Luo Fei suddenly changed her steps and took Chen Chu around to the small hill behind.

This is the side of the junction between the old city and the new city. When you stand on the top of the mountain and look down, you can see the prosperity on the left and the oldness on the right.

The girl smiled and said proudly, "How is it? Don't you feel a strong sense of impact between the old and new eras? It's like standing between a period of history."

Chen Chu exclaimed: "Indeed, I didn't expect that just by changing the angle, the scenery I saw would be completely different. It was quite shocking."

Luo Fei said with emotion: "I came back last year and accidentally discovered this great location. Every time I stand here, I feel so insignificant."

"For a blue planet that has existed for who knows how many billions of years, our existence is like a fleeting blip. We may disappear completely one day."

Luo Fei suddenly asked: "Chen Chu, do you think that humans will disappear one day?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Chen Chu looked at her strangely, then thought for a moment and said, "If you had asked me this question fifty years ago, I would have said that there might be such a day."

"With the technology of humankind at that time, it would only take one meteorite impact that could destroy the Earth's surface to wipe out the entire human civilization."

"But now it's different. We have mastered the way to bring great power to ourselves."

"As long as we keep getting stronger, strong enough to destroy the world (planet) and cross the starry sky, even if the world is destroyed, humans will still exist."

"And my current training goal is to one day become powerful enough to exist forever and transcend time."

When talking about eternal existence, Chen Chu's tone was very calm, as if he could really do it, full of confidence. At this moment, against the backdrop of prosperity and oldness behind him, Luo Fei felt a strong sense of shock.

Luo Fei's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Chen Chu, let me draw a picture for you."

Uh...no, weren't we just talking about life? Why do we suddenly want to draw?

"Okay." Although a little confused, Chen Chu still nodded in cooperation.

Then Luo Fei took out an easel from another Sumeru bracelet, and placed the drawing paper and brushes in place one by one. She also put a small stool under her butt and began to find the angle.

"Chen Chu, stand a little to the left."

"Yes, turn your back to me and look forward..."

Then she spent several hours on the painting. There was a pile of discarded drawing paper at Luo Fei's feet, but she still couldn't depict the fleeting feeling of shock that she had at that moment.

Watching the setting sun, Chen Chu, who had been standing with his hands behind his back for several hours, couldn't help but say, "...Luo Fei, I think we should draw again next time we have the chance?"

"Wait a moment, it will be done soon." Luo Fei's hands moved slowly.

In her writing, half is an old ruin mottled by time, and the other half is a modern prosperous human city, while Chen Chu stands in between with his hands behind his back, giving people a strange feeling that he is standing between the present and the past.

When the last bit of detail was finished, Luo Fei let out a long breath and smiled: "Chen Chu, it's done."

"It's finally done." Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Even for him, he felt a little embarrassed standing there posing for several hours.

But when he saw the painting, Chen Chu was a little surprised. He thought it was a real scene like the last time, but he didn't expect it to be an abstract painting.

After putting away the easel, paper and pen, Luo Fei winked at him and did not give him the painting, as if she was going to keep it for herself.

Well, then I won't send you off. At this time, Chen Chu looked at the darkening sky and suddenly said, "Luo Fei, do you want to eat grilled fish?"

"Grilled fish?"

"Yes, grilled fish, and this grilled fish is a little special." Chen Chu smiled, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Hu, asking him to bring his equipment and wait for him under the bridge at the edge of the city.

The old town is not far from the river. It is only a few miles away after going down the mountain, which is about ten minutes' walk. Of course, this time is at a walking pace.

When the two of them arrived at the edge of the city while chatting, Chen Hu was already waiting for them on the roadside on his motorcycle with a barbecue grill hanging on the back.

Looking at the delicate girl walking over with Chen Chu, Chen Hu was surprised: "Sister Luo Fei, you are here too."

Although Luo Fei has been back for more than two months, she spends most of her time either reading at school or at home, and has not been to Chen Chu's house.

After all, Chen Chu is not here.

"Long time no see, Xiaohu." Luo Fei greeted him with a smile, but she was a little surprised to see the young man who was twice as powerful as he was more than three months ago.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Ah Hu, remember to use your twenty years of professional barbecue skills today to treat your sister Luo Fei well."

"Okay, look at my brother." Chen Hu said as he excitedly ran under the bridge carrying the barbecue grill and fishing equipment.

As Chen Hu ran down, Luo Fei couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "Your twenty years of professional barbecue is too exaggerated, Xiaohu is obviously only fourteen years old."

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate him because he is so young. He has been fishing and grilling at the same time, and his grilling skills have been perfected."

"Although I only smelled it yesterday, I feel that the taste is no worse than those of professional barbecue chefs."

The girl looked suspicious: "Does that mean you haven't eaten it either?"

"Ahem! Something unexpected happened yesterday, so I didn't get to eat it, but we can try it together today."

"I feel like I've been dragged here by you to be a test subject."

"It's an illusion, it must be an illusion."

While chatting and laughing, the two of them came to the river.

He still used the same skilled method of making fire and setting up the rack. After the charcoal fire was lit, Chen Hu took out a small piece of exotic beast meat and hung it on the anchor hook. With a little force, he threw it more than 20 meters away.

Attracted by the exotic beast meat, there was soon movement in the river.

"Here it comes." Chen Hu pulled excitedly with force, and the surface of the river exploded instantly. A big fish about one and a half meters long rushed out of the water, struggling continuously, pulling the fishing rod into a half-moon shape.

But with the powerful strength of Chen Hu's arms, he still dragged the big bass to the shore, splashing water everywhere.

Bang! With a fist as big as a casserole, the perch's head collapsed instantly, and the blood that flowed out dyed the riverside red. It looked extremely brutal and violent, and Luo Fei didn't know what to say.

Are you sure this is a fourteen-year-old junior high school student?

Under Luo Fei's gaze, Chen Hu skillfully removed the scales and gutted the fish, cleaned it, cut it into pieces, brushed it with oil, smeared it with barbecue seasoning, and then tied it to the barbecue grill.

"Xiaohu, let me roast it." At this time Luo Fei also became interested.

"No need, Sister Luo Fei, I promised me that I would show you my skills." Chen Hu refused.

Because his brother’s breakthrough performance failed yesterday, he cannot fail again today, otherwise all the research he has done on this invincible and super delicious barbecue method for so long would be in vain.

Just half an hour later...

"Brother, Sister Luo Fei, does it taste good?" Chen Hu looked at the two of them with some anticipation.

"...It's okay, not bad." Luo Fei paused.

"Hmm, the taste... is okay."

As he spoke, Chen Chu slowly put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Ah Hu, has anyone else eaten this barbecue?"

Chen Hu chuckled and said, "Yes, Yiyi has tried it and she also said it's delicious, so I wanted to bake it for you to try."

Chen Chu nodded: "...I see, Ah Hu, you and she are good friends, let her eat more next time."

"Yeah, okay brother." Chen Hu nodded happily.

Then Chen Hu looked at them strangely: "Brother, Sister Luo Fei, why don't you eat?"

Chen Chu said calmly: "No, just eat. We have already had dinner. I called you out mainly to let Luo Fei taste your grilled fish."

Luo Fei also smiled and nodded: "Yes, we have already had dinner."

"Then I won't be polite." Chen Hu didn't think much about it. He picked up the whole grilled fish and started eating it with big mouthfuls. He ate it with relish, which made Chen Chu and Luo Fei look at each other involuntarily.

In fact, Chen Hu’s grilled fish doesn’t taste bad, but it can’t be said to be delicious either, because this guy prepared too many seasonings. It smells delicious when grilling, but it always tastes a bit strange.

This is also the reason why Chen Chu capsized today.

As for why Chen Hu thinks this tastes delicious, it may have something to do with personal preference. Just like durian, some people think it stinks like shit and can’t stand it, but some people like to eat it and it’s very expensive.

However, before Chen Hu finished eating, Luo Fei received a call from Luo Wu Yue.

On the side of the road, Chen Chu waved to her and said, "Remember to call me on the day you leave. I'll come and see you off."

"Okay." The girl waved to them and walked briskly in another direction. As for safety...she was a master of the fourth level.

The kind that can knock down a wall with one punch.

After watching the girl disappear on the street, Chen Chu turned back and looked down: "Ah Hu, let's go back too."

"Okay, bro."

Soon, with the sound of motorcycles, the two brothers, one riding a motorcycle and the other running, disappeared into the night.

After spending a day relaxing with Luo Fei, it’s time to get back to business.

night!

Chen Chu sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the more than 4,000 attributes on the attribute page, and his mind moved: "Burn 1,000 attribute points to enter the state of enlightenment."

boom!

As the one thousand attribute points disappeared, the mysterious power enveloped Chen Chu again. His entire consciousness roared, and his thinking became extremely clear and sensitive.

At the same time, in Chen Chu's sea of ​​consciousness, the shadow of the three-faced, six-armed fighting rune rapidly enlarged and began today's practice.
