Chapter 44: Quickly Transmigrate! Strategies for the Viking Son of Fortune (Twenty-Five)
"Zi'ang!"
Zeus shouted and ran towards him.
Almost at the same time, Feng Ziang also got rid of the illusion. Seeing Zeus running towards him, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"I'm so glad you're okay!"
The two hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth of each other's real existence.
Erica, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and her face turned extremely ugly.
"Damn it, you actually broke my illusion technique!" She roared and walked out of the shadows. "If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Erica raised her staff high, muttering something, and black lightning burst out from the top of the staff, heading straight for Feng Ziang and Zeus.
"careful!"
Zeus protected Feng Zion behind him and swung his short axe to shatter the black lightning one by one.
Feng Ziang was no longer the weak man who was powerless. He drew a dagger from his waist, dodged the attacks nimbly, and looked for a chance to counterattack.
The two cooperated well, like natural comrades-in-arms, and every attack and defense was just right.
Erica gradually felt overwhelmed, his attacks became weaker and weaker, while Feng Ziang and Zeus' attacks became more and more fierce.
"Damn humans!"
Erica was so angry that she decided to make a final attack. She raised her staff high, and her whole body was covered by black light. A powerful force was gathering...
"Zeus, be careful!"
Feng Ziang cried out in surprise; he felt a fatal threat approaching.
Zeus also felt an unprecedented crisis. He didn't have time to think too much. He rushed to Feng Ziang and held him tightly in his arms... The black light was like a roaring beast, carrying the power to destroy the world, sweeping towards Zeus and Feng Ziang.
At the critical moment, Zeus held Feng Ziang tightly under him and built a last line of defense for him with his own flesh and blood.
"Bang——"
After a loud noise, the world seemed to stop for a moment. Feng Ziang's ears were buzzing and his vision was blurry. He struggled to crawl out from under Zeus, but saw a shocking scene: Zeus fell in a pool of blood, his face pale and dying.
"Zeus!"
Feng Ziang's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch him, but was afraid of disturbing his last peace.
"Don't be afraid... I'm fine..."
Zeus endured the severe pain and forced a weak smile, trying to comfort him, but he couldn't help coughing up blood.
"Stop talking!"
Feng Ziang's tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly opened the backpack he was carrying and searched for possible medicines and tools.
Stop bleeding, bandage, fix... Feng Ziang's movements were done in one go. He did not dare to delay for even a second, because he knew that every minute and every second determined Zeus' life or death.
"Zi'ang..."
Zeus weakly held Feng Ziang's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude and love, "Thank you..."
"Don't be silly, you'll be fine."
Feng Ziang suppressed the grief in his heart and tried to force out a smile, "We still have to find the artifact together and return to your world..."
However, before he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the empty underground maze: "It's so touching... It's a pity that some people are destined not to be happy..."
Feng Ziang raised his head suddenly, and saw Erica, the priestess of the goddess of jealousy, coming back. She was standing not far away with a sinister smile on her face. Her eyes scanned back and forth between Feng Ziang and Zeus, and finally stopped on Feng Ziang's hand, which was tightly holding Zeus's hand, and her eyes became even more resentful.
Feng Ziang stood up vigilantly, protecting Zeus behind him, and stared at Erica coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Erica smiled contemptuously: "What? I just came to remind you that some people and some things are not something you should touch. Do you think you can really win his heart?
You are just a toy from another world, and you must return to where you belong."
Her words were like a poisonous snake, trying to sow doubt and fear in Feng Ziang's heart. Zeus struggled to get up, but Feng Ziang gently held him down: "You take a good rest, leave this to me."
"Zeus, don't you understand? This man is a spy sent from another world to destroy our world. Only if you kill him can you become king."
"Your noble god from outer space is not here to save you now."
Feng Ziang knew that Erica's purpose was to alienate the relationship between him and Zeus, and he would not let her succeed.
He took a deep breath and looked at Erica firmly. "My stay or departure has nothing to do with you. The friendship between Zeus and I is not something you can mess with."
Seeing that she couldn't succeed, Erica rolled her eyes and cast her gaze at Ryan, who had been silent not far away. She tempted him to release the negative emotions in his heart and feel the love he had never had by being trampled on by others.
"Be angry! Be resentful! Be jealous! Kill them and you will be a loving person"
Ryan has been worried since he entered the underground maze. He witnessed with his own eyes that Zeus sacrificed his life to protect Feng Ziang, which made the fire of jealousy in his heart burn even more vigorously.
Erica walked up to Ryan and said in a voice full of temptation: "Did you see that? He doesn't care about your life or death. He only has himself in his heart. Are you going to watch them together? It's painful to see others happy."
Ryan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with struggle and pain.
"No, I can't bear to see other people happy. Why would I feel pain when others are happy?"
"Because happiness is built on the suffering of others"
"Do you want his approval? Do you want everything you deserve?"
Erica continued to seduce him, "I can help you. I can make you the most powerful warrior and make everyone look at you with new eyes, including him."
Ryan's heartbeat quickened. He seemed to see a path to glory and power, a path that did not require Feng Ziang or Zeus.
He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became firm: "What should I do?"
Erica smiled with satisfaction and whispered a few words into Ryan's ear like a soul-stirring succubus.
Ryan turned his gaze towards Feng Ziang and Zeus, his expression was complicated and hard to read. He turned away without saying a word, leaving only a cold sentence echoing in the air: "I don't need your help, I will conquer this world alone."
Ryan's figure disappeared deep into the maze. The last words he left behind cast a shadow over the hearts of Feng Ziang and Zeus.
They didn't know where Ryan was going or what he wanted to do, but they could feel that Ryan had changed, and he made them feel strange and uneasy.
"Ryan..."
Feng Ziang wanted to call him, but Zeus held his hand. Zeus shook his head, signaling him not to chase after him. His eyes were deep and solemn, as if he had sensed some ominous sign.
