Chapter 148 Ruined Temple - Swarm of Venomous Snakes
Chuchun looked at her young lady who was in a daze again, glanced at the people fighting fiercely outside, shook her head and thought, "Forget it, the young lady is not worried, why should she, a maid, worry?" Besides, she felt very uncomfortable now. Chuchun walked back slowly, sat down on the ground, and leaned against the pillar to rest.
Lan Xiyue's brows were filled with confusion and astonishment. "System, are you kidding me? Ninety billion points, nine billion merits, such astronomical figures, do you think I can accumulate them in this lifetime?"
The system's voice was cold and mechanical: "Host, the prices of the mall are beyond the control of this system."
The Ultimate Energy was indeed a hefty price for the host, but it required no merit, and the points required were far less. This was an internal discount within their system, and according to their inventory records, no system was yet capable of exchanging it for the Ultimate Energy.
As long as it becomes the first one and obtains the ultimate energy, it will be able to return to interstellar space and time to compete with the leader!
This ultimate energy was of extraordinary power, the work of the first interstellar spacetime researchers. Unfortunately, the interstellar spacetime machine systems later gained consciousness, and humanity suffered a catastrophe, being killed by those systems. The leader has since unified interstellar spacetime.
After the leader came to power, he cleared out those conscious machine systems, and from then on there was no threat to it. Even if it had developed consciousness, it would have been strangled by the leader. It was just lucky that it hid in the Purple Ghost Ring and was covered by the aura of the Purple Ghost Ring, so the main brain failed to discover it.
Even the leader has yet to obtain this ultimate power. Only systems that carry out missions can use the power of their hosts to accumulate points and hope to obtain this treasure.
If it can really obtain the ultimate energy and defeat the leader, wouldn't it be able to rule the interstellar space and time?
Lan Xiyue curled her lips. She didn't have any points now. Such an unattainable dream seemed futile.
Thinking of this, Lan Xiyue's mood suddenly became more open. She stood up and walked out of the ruined temple. The scene before her made her mouth twitch. She saw several people fighting fiercely, all of them injured.
"Stop! Everyone stop!" Lan Xiyue shouted loudly, but the few people seemed to have not heard and continued to fight fiercely.
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly, and with a thought, a pistol appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Damn, her bullets were precious. She hesitated for a moment, then pulled the trigger towards the sky. "Bang!" There was a loud bang.
Several people stopped what they were doing instantly and all looked at Lan Xiyue.
Dongfang Ming was the fastest, and he was beside her in a flash. "Xiao Yue'er, what made that noise just now?"
He noticed what was in Lan Xiyue's hand, a hint of curiosity and surprise flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to grab it. Before Lan Xiyue could react, the pistol had been taken away by Dongfang Ming.
He carefully examined the strange-looking pistol, his brow furrowed, and asked in confusion, "What is this? I've been wandering the world for many years, but I've never seen anything like this. What is this?"
Lan Xiyue's heart suddenly tightened, her eyes fixed on the black muzzle of the gun in front of her. Oh my god, why is this guy pointing the gun at me? Don't let it go off accidentally!
"Um...don't point the gun at me. This is called a pistol, a concealed weapon."
Dongfang Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this, a puzzled look on his face. "Huh? What muzzle? A pistol? How come I've never seen or heard of it before?"
Lan Xiyue glared at Dongfang Ming, her face darkening as she stretched out her hand and said, "Give it back to me first."
Seeing that she was unhappy, Dongfang Ming threw the pistol to her. Lan Xiyue took the pistol, holding it tightly in her hand, and looked at the few people with displeasure, saying that she had wasted a bullet.
"Do you want to continue?"
Dongfang Ming chuckled and waved his hands quickly, saying, "Xiao Yue'er, this is none of my business. He was the one who started the trouble. At most, I was forced to fight back."
An Yi lowered his head and silently walked to the side to treat his wounds. Although they were only superficial injuries, he looked quite miserable with wounds all over his body.
In comparison, Dongfang Ming's clothes only had a few holes torn, making him look a little messy, but he was not hurt at all. This made An Yi feel secretly frustrated and a little depressed. He didn't expect that this guy's martial arts skills were so powerful.
An Er and Punu were slightly better off than An Yi, while Yun Dian and Yun Lei were lighter injured than them. Although the fight was fierce, none of them killed anyone, so their injuries were only superficial.
Lan Xiyue glanced at Dongfang Ming and said, "Stop talking. You two should take a break and get ready to leave soon."
After saying that, she walked aside, put the pistol back into her sleeve, and sat down.
She ate the barbecued meat without caring about her image. She was really hungry, and at this moment she didn't care whether it tasted good or not, she just wanted to fill her stomach.
Dongfang Ming looked at the roasted rabbit in her hand with disgust. He would rather eat some dry food than try the roasted rabbit that looked unpalatable.
As he ate his rations, he glanced at Lan Xiyue from the corner of his eye, thinking to himself, "This little girl is becoming more and more interesting. A pistol? Even the best hidden weapon dealer in the world has never heard of such a thing."
At this moment, Hatsuharu's face turned pale and she screamed in horror: "Ah..."
The barbecue in Lan Xiyue's hand slipped out of her hand instantly, and she appeared beside Chuchun in a flash.
Suddenly, a dagger appeared in Lan Xiyue's hand. With her quick eyes and hands, she swung it violently and cut off the poisonous snake that was pouncing towards Chuchun.
Dongfang Ming frowned, jumped up, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. An Yi and other followers also looked alert and looked around.
"Hiss~hiss~hiss~" The creepy sound of snakes' tongues moving in and out came one after another. There were more and more poisonous snakes in the ruined temple, and they were so dense that people broke out in cold sweats.
An Yi shook himself and swallowed, "Miss Lan, we are surrounded by snakes."
Lan Xiyue closed her eyes and listened carefully for a while, then opened them abruptly and said to Dongfang Ming, "There's a flute sound. Someone is controlling the snakes. Go out and catch that person."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ming gently waved the fan in his hand, and the poisonous snake in front of him was instantly fanned into several pieces. However, the poisonous snakes in the ruined temple seemed endless and continued to pour out.
"No, there are so many poisonous snakes. I have to stay by your side to protect Xiao Yue'er."
Lan Xiyue glared at him and roared, "If you take care of the people outside, the snakes will naturally become chaotic. Otherwise, how long will it take to kill the venomous snakes here?"
Dongfang Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he began to think. Only a wizard's senior disciple could control so many venomous snakes, and they were obviously coming for him.
Well, if he goes out, these snakes will all attack him, and in this way, Xiao Yue'er will be safe.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ming's eyes narrowed and he said to Lan Xiyue, "Okay, Xiaoyue'er, the snakes haven't dispersed yet, so be careful."
After he finished speaking, he moved his body, waving the folding fan in his hand, and killed his way out. Soon, more poisonous snakes gathered around the ruined temple.
An Yi swallowed hard, "Damn! Where do all these poisonous snakes come from? It seems like we can never kill them all!"
