Chapter 55 Belllit 47
When Chu Cheng's whole body entered the sea water, he inexplicably felt as if all the meridians in his body were opened up, and a warm current spread along the spine to the coccyx and the back of the neck, warm and hot, as if he had returned to the amniotic fluid.
Chu Cheng shook his tail gently, very flexibly, and did not feel the resistance was too strong to swim. On the contrary, he even felt that he could swim freely in the ocean. This was not only his imagination, but also reality.
Chu Cheng's silver hair was dark blue against the deep light at the bottom of the sea, as if covered with glowing moonlight. And every scale on his lake blue fish tail seemed to be a flowing lake.
Soon, a large group of fish and jellyfish surrounded Chu Cheng. The fluorescent jellyfish surrounded Chu Cheng without showing any aggression, just silently flashing, like a suspended beacon, or a guiding star, bringing more life to the vast ocean.
Chu Cheng stretched out his hand and gently touched the school of fish around him. The fish were not frightened by the touch and did not flee in all directions. Instead, they rubbed Chu Cheng's fingertips affectionately, without any fear.
Seeing this, Chu Cheng's suspicion and thoughts grew more and more. He knew that he had touched the edge of the mist.
Soon, Chu Cheng waved to the fish that were surrounding him, and with a lean, he nimbly avoided the schools of fish and swam to the deep sea.
This vast ocean is not as vivid and lively as Chu Cheng saw it at the beginning. After losing a large number of residents, this vast ocean returned to what was recorded in ancient books, quiet, silent, and even a little lonely and scary.
[This is the result of Bellit's high-level massacre]
[Do you like the ocean? I thought you would like the sky more]
Chu Cheng seemed to throw out a question casually, but it briefly brought the conversation to a deadlock. The system did not reply immediately. Just like that, Chu Cheng's mind calmed down.
Chu Cheng was not in a hurry. It was not him who should be anxious now. There were other people who should be anxious. Chu Cheng was interested in seeing how the system would answer this question.
After a long time, the electronic sound of the system rang slowly. It was not as cold and rational as before, but instead had an inexplicable loneliness and sadness. The bland electronic sound effects made people feel empty and numb for no reason.
[Maybe it was possible before, but not now.]
Chu Cheng exhaled, and a string of bubbles came out of his mouth. At this time, there was no need to say that the system was full of loopholes. Chu Cheng's own body had already revealed the biggest doubts.
If using water to turn into a fish tail can still be explained by supernatural powers, then how can Chu Cheng, who has no gills at all, come and go freely underwater? He has not exchanged any props for breathing under the sea.
Chu Cheng swung his tail and quickly increased his swimming speed in just three seconds. The long tail powerfully waved the sea water, causing waves of white waves.
If someone looks far away at this moment, they can see a blue figure swimming quickly in the dark seabed, like a meteor across the sky.
Chu Cheng swam quickly to the central area of Tanzania. As expected, the marine life in the central area is several times more than that in the edge area. The atmosphere here can be considered harmonious, not as tense and solemn as the edge of the ocean.
Similarly, these schools of fish showed great intimacy to Chu Cheng, entwining around Chu Cheng. There were also many creatures that were obviously artistic creations, which Chu Cheng could not name. They looked quite strange and terrifying, but they appeared gentle and cute in front of Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng did not say anything, but gently touched this big guy, expressing his same friendliness. After bidding farewell to the residents of this area, Chu Cheng continued to go deeper. Suddenly, there were many rapidly swimming figures in front of him, which suddenly made the dark seabed brighter.
It turned out to be a large group of mermaids!
Although Chu Cheng had expected it, he never thought that after such a brutal massacre, there would still be such an astonishing number of mermaids on the seabed. They were not swimming randomly, but seemed to be rushing towards Chu Cheng in groups with a purpose.
Chu Cheng did not put up any resistance, but floated in place, quietly watching the group of mermaids rushing towards him with tears in their eyes, and forming a huge circle around Chu Cheng.
Soon, a mermaid who looked close to middle age, still charming, but already considered older among the mermaids swam out and approached Chu Cheng. She stretched out a finger, pressed it against her forehead, and then opened her mouth.
Then, the empty seabed suddenly echoed with a series of ethereal sounds. Although I couldn't understand what language it was, I could feel the singer's happiness from the thin tone. After
the song ended, the group of mermaids slowly dispersed. Some mermaids who looked quite young stayed where they were reluctant to leave, but were dragged away by the older mermaids next to them.
[Wow...what a magical sight...]
[How...have you never seen it before? 】
Hearing the system's dry sigh, Chu Cheng also pretended to reply to him, and the system immediately shut up. As Chu Cheng swam faster, it took nearly two hours. Chu Cheng looked at the remaining Tanzania and found out that there were about two hundred thousand remaining residents.
【It's less than I thought. There are really no people left in Tanzania】
【Originally, Tanzania was destroyed, and now it is just struggling to survive】
After experiencing what happened just now, the system didn't seem to want to pretend anymore, and it was almost frank with Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows silently, turned around and swam towards the bottom of the sea, opened a portal at the bottom of the sea, and ran directly to the auction house.
Before Chu Cheng entered the door, the man outside, Golden Hat, rushed over with an anxious look on his face. After not seeing him for a few days, Golden Hat, who used to have neatly combed hair and elegant clothes, now had messy hair hanging on his forehead, the top button of his shirt was undone, and there were bloody scratches on his neck from fingernails, like a traveler who had been in the desert for days and nights without a sip of water.
The moment he saw Chu Cheng, Golden Hat's wrinkled brows finally relaxed, and his eyes revealed a light that could not be concealed.
"Boss! You're finally back!"
Chu Cheng looked at Golden Hat's face, which had inexplicably become paler, and suddenly remembered that he was going to give Golden Hat a blood transfusion last time, but in the end he forgot about it because of something else. After so many days, the poison should have taken effect. The Golden Hat must be scratching his head because he couldn't find Chu Cheng's whereabouts.
Seeing the Golden Hat grasping at a straw, Chu Cheng didn't show any concern or sympathy, but just a playful, even gentle smile, which made the Golden Hat feel uneasy.
If it were a few days ago, he could have given Chu Cheng a kiss on the hand in a graceful manner, and then pushed and pulled a few times, showing off his affectionate words and erudition.
But after a few days of suffering from the toxins invading his body, he no longer had such thoughts. As a vampire, he had not felt pain for a long time. He even almost forgot what the beating of his heart felt like. However, this strange toxin was like a vine that tightly imprisoned his heart. Every beat was like being pierced by the needles on the vine and flowing into the blood vessels. He felt like glass shards invading his body when he breathed. It
was incredible for a vampire to feel pain. Except for the holy water blessed by angels or the toxins of werewolves, there was almost nothing that could hurt a vampire, and the strong self-healing ability of a vampire was enough to help him survive all difficulties.
This is why he dared to fall for Chu Cheng's trap when he was brazenly trying to set him up. Because there is almost no physiological activity in the body of a vampire, most of the toxins in the world cannot really participate in the circulation when they enter the body of a vampire. It can be understood as a tube going straight up and down without any effect.
But the mysterious toxin in Chu Cheng's body not only took effect, but also made the Golden Hat unable to find any way to remove it. Even the wizards he once knew could not do it. The only antidote is Chu Cheng's blood, but the Golden Hat knows that this is tantamount to constantly deepening the toxins in the body, which is no different from chronic suicide. Once Chu Cheng stops supplying, he will not be far from death. The vampire who has never felt the threat of death in a hundred years is panicking.
He originally wanted to fight with Chu Cheng like this, until he achieved his goal, he might show mercy and let Chu Cheng go, or turn Chu Cheng into a vampire. In short, everything seemed to be under his control.
But now he doesn't think so. He needs to analyze the antidote for Chu Cheng's toxins. But now it's an emergency, he has to suck a lot of blood, and Chu Cheng's body can't support such a large blood loss, so he has to change his strategy now. If he was pretending before, pretending to be a dog that hurts when Chu Cheng bites people, then now he has to let Chu Cheng see how painful his bite is.
Now he just wants to take off Chu Cheng's shirt and suck all his blood. This old fox can't even hide his ferocious eyes, which makes Chu Cheng laugh. And he did it.
Chu Cheng patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders, looked at the Golden Hat who had lost his elegance with mockery, and said the first sentence since entering the room.
"Why, you can't hide anymore? I wanted to see how long you can pretend to be a dog."
Chu Cheng said this to make it clear that he didn't want the Golden Hat to suck his blood. For the Golden Hat now, what's the difference between this and asking for his life. Sure enough, after these words came out, the Golden Hat couldn't sit still. The friendly smile on his face disappeared completely, and his face was cold as if he wanted to skin Chu Cheng alive.
"Lance, what do you mean by this? Why, we have not achieved our goal yet, and you want to break up the partnership? You are not the kind of person who would do such a deal without planning."
Chu Cheng crossed his arms and looked at the Golden Hat who couldn't help but smile. His eyes revealed murderous intent, and his fingernails scratched his palms with white marks. Hearing this, Chu Cheng smiled slightly, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly curved. Compared to the madness in Bellit, he was more like Lance who had a barbecue with Carl and the others in Artaco.
"No plan? Just for you, I already got what I wanted."
The face of the Golden Hat darkened. He knew that this meant that the talks had broken down. In this case, there was no need for him to continue to waste time with Chu Cheng. He wanted to make Chu Cheng a blood bag!
But how could Chu Cheng give in?
Although most physical attacks were indeed difficult to really hurt the Golden Hat, it was a pity that Chu Cheng's ability had been successfully upgraded not long ago and had escaped the scope of physics. Under the disdainful gaze of the Golden Hat, thick ice with a faint blue glow climbed up his ankles. After a few seconds, the Golden Hat's face turned ugly, and finally even a little terrified.
After admiring the change of expression, Chu Cheng tilted his head and leisurely introduced his superpowers.
"I'm so sorry, my superpowers have been superimposed recently, and I haven't had time to tell you. Thank you for your magic power on behalf of my ice, Mr. Troy."
Chu Cheng's ice can now attach to the surface of the skin and then absorb a lot of magic power. The stronger the fluctuations of magic power and superpowers, the more it absorbs. In order to slow down the speed of toxin erosion, the Golden Hat used a lot of magic power to control it, which in turn increased the speed of the ice absorbing magic power. In just half a minute, most of the magic power in the Golden Hat's body was swept away.
"Have you met that stupid dog Black Eagle!? Damn it... Haha... But you don't think that this little bit of poison will kill me, do you? You still underestimate me."
Chu Cheng did not doubt the truth of this sentence. How could the Golden Hat have lived for so long without any means of saving his life. But unfortunately, he is doomed to fail this time.
"If you can avoid the devil's contract..."
"What!?"
The Golden Hat could no longer keep the expression on his face, and his face was as pale as a coffin that had been lying for several days. Yes, this is why Chu Cheng really wanted Scott. He was not at ease to hand over his enemy to anyone, although he knew that Black Eagle would definitely find a way to kill the Golden Hat.
Black Eagle and his team's method will definitely solve the Golden Hat's problem, but with Bane, Chu Cheng is more anxious to worry whether the Golden Hat will use methods such as memory transfer and soul transplantation to achieve immortality. But when he readjusted the timeline for Scott, everything was different.
Scott is undoubtedly the best among the demons, and the ability of the parchment scroll is not something that all demons can do. And Scott can not only sign anything on the parchment scroll, but also really do it.
Using the Golden Hat's bloodsucking as an opportunity for transfer, and Chu Cheng as a connection for Scott's transfer, Scott and the Golden Hat signed the parchment scroll. The bargaining chip is the Golden Hat's soul and memory, and the signature is the aorta that the Golden Hat sucks. Thanks to the setting of vampires in the comics. The ancestors of vampires used sucking blood from the aorta as a signature behavior. Transformation, first possession, and marking all required sucking blood from the aorta, which gave Chu Cheng an opportunity to take advantage of. Now, the Golden Hat, whose soul and memory were taken away, could not escape no matter what.
Thinking of this, the Golden Hat knelt on the ground in despair. He didn't know how things turned out to be like this. Obviously, everything was under his control from the beginning, but now, he was actually being played around by a short-lived species. Short-lived species... Neropo... Apostle... In a flash, the Golden Hat suddenly connected some terrible things together.
He suddenly remembered the bottle of dragon blood, the place where Chu Cheng appeared, and every word Chu Cheng said. At this moment, his heart finally died. This vampire who had been between gods and ghosts and had been in and out three times with his whole body still intact finally sat down on the floor dejectedly.
"Ha... you win... boss..."
Faced with the end of failure, Golden Hat did not show hysteria. He even looked quite calm and indifferent. He was more like the stereotypical vampire who had lived for thousands of years without desires than any of his previous disguises.
He stood up by supporting the floor, put his hands in his hair, smoothed it behind his forehead, and carefully smoothed out his wrinkled clothes. He seemed to have turned back into the calm and elegant Golden Hat. Golden Hat tied his tie, straightened his back, and bowed slightly to Chu Cheng with a decent smile.
"It's an honor to meet you. I'm Acapone Troy."
"Lance"
Chu Cheng nodded slightly, and the two introduced themselves harmoniously as if they were meeting for the first time, but they knew each other well that this was the first time they were so calm and would be the last time.
[The matter of the golden hat can be handed over to Black Eagle. The next stop is Ferroge]
[I know, next time, I want to know your name, can you give me a chance?]
[Yes]
