Chapter 77 God's Illegitimate Son
After entering the city, Shen Yichuan finally understood what Qi Xiuyuan meant by dilapidated. Many of the buildings here were indeed dilapidated, and some even looked like they were about to collapse. So although this was a city, it was a city that was about to be abandoned.
After entering, Shen Yichuan saw many people, some walking on the street in twos and threes, some in groups, and they were obviously from the same family. From here, you can occasionally see some people with relaxed expressions on their faces. Maybe it's because it's safer here?
Or maybe it's because they are used to it?
Qi Xiuyuan took Shen Yichuan to where he was staying, which was a semi-abandoned inn.
This inn was really about to be abandoned. When he entered, he saw that two of the rooms had collapsed, and there were many ruins in the lobby on the first floor. Qi Xiuyuan took Shen Yichuan to the third floor, where there were two rooms that were still in good condition. The entire inn was occupied by Qi Xiuyuan. He pointed to the room next to his own and said to Shen Yichuan, "You can live here. The communication talisman can be used here, but it is only limited to this city. Outside this city, even if one is inside the city and the other is outside, the communication talisman is useless."
Shen Yichuan nodded.
He was relieved that Qi Xiuyuan did not ask him to discuss things with the other party. After all, after coming here, if he had enough time, he still wanted to practice, but it would not be good to swallow those things in front of Qi Xiuyuan.
Firstly, he was afraid of irritating the other party. After all, this kind of devouring magic was the reason for Qi Xiuyuan's bad luck in his previous life. It also involved the Qi family and the twins. This really cannot be simply summarized by the word hatred.
Besides, he has so many good things on him, and as the saying goes, one should always be on guard against others... What if the protagonist gets angry and wants to kill someone to steal the treasure?
He is still willing to speculate about others with the greatest malice. Who says this world is so fucked up?
Qi Xiuyuan didn't say anything more to Shen Yichuan, he went straight back to his room.
In the next three days, Shen Yichuan practiced in his room without even leaving the house. Because he had swallowed some treasures, his cultivation had stabilized at the peak of the early stage of the Martial Emperor.
However, he felt that if he wanted to advance to the middle stage of the Martial Emperor, he might need a little bit of luck. This kind of luck was both related to and unrelated to Devouring. It was related because Devouring was necessary for advancement, but there were other factors besides Devouring, such as the understanding of the state of mind, and other things...
In short, he felt that if he didn't have that little bit of opportunity, it would probably take him a lot of effort to break through to the middle stage.
After checking his storage bag, Shen Yichuan left the room. He didn't see Qi Xiuyuan and wasn't sure if he was in the room, so he simply walked over and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while without any response, Shen Yichuan simply went down from the third floor. After he came downstairs, he thought of the communication, so he sent a message to Qi Xiuyuan, but there was still no reply. He didn't know whether the other party didn't see it or was out of the city.
Just as Shen Yichuan was thinking this, the green shade on his body suddenly flew out. It turned out that someone was going to attack him from the side, but that person was still a little far away from him. Because that person had not launched an attack yet, Shen Yichuan had not noticed it yet. However, the green shade was very sensitive to people's murderous intent, so it flew out directly.
Soon, the man who was going to attack Shen Yichuan was tied up with rattan and dragged over by Lvyin.
Shen Yichuan glanced calmly at the person wrapped in the green shade. No emotion could be heard in his voice. He did not ask why the person attacked him. He just said calmly, "This is for you."
These words were naturally addressed to Green Shade, who was clearly delighted, the vines even conveying a sense of joy. However, this joy was a nightmare for the attacker wrapped within it, as he felt countless branches piercing his body, his blood constantly draining away, and his vitality constantly draining away...
The attacker widened his eyes in horror and began to beg for mercy.
"Please spare me, sir, please spare me. I didn't mean to do that. Our boss sent me here..."
The man only had time to say a few words before he could no longer make any sound because he was sucked dry.
Shen Yichuan didn't let Green Shade stop. He didn't care who the boss was. Qi Xiuyuan had already said that everyone in this city wanted to kill everyone else. Unless they encountered a common enemy, a mirror person who had lost his mind, then the others would attack together. But even if they attacked together, they all had their own little thoughts. In other cases, it was simply a matter of who was stronger and who lived, and who was weaker and who died.
So, whether or not he knew who the other party's boss was was completely meaningless. After killing this person, the deterrent brought by Green Shade would also be effective. At this time, Shen Yichuan could already feel many eyes vaguely watching him. He could tell whether a person was easy to provoke or not at a glance. He believed that the deterrent power of Green Shade just now was definitely enough.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. When Shen Yichuan was walking around the city, although many eyes were still on him, no one was so blind as to come and make a move on him.
Although Qi Xiuyuan did not find a way to leave, Shen Yichuan felt that there must be a way to leave. In terms of finding the key, Qi Xiuyuan was behind him, and the other party had not yet found a way to leave. Therefore, Shen Yichuan felt that as an experienced person, he had a higher possibility of leaving, so of course he had to look for it.
After walking for a while, he found that the city gave him a rather strange feeling, as if it was not so real.
He didn't have this feeling when he was in the room, but after he came out and was walking around the city, he had this feeling in his heart.
Could this dilapidated city also be a mirror image? Shen Yichuan muttered in his heart.
There might be a way to leave a real city, but where would he find a way to leave a dilapidated city?
Suddenly, Shen Yichuan thought of those mirror people.
If this city isn't real, and therefore so dilapidated, filled with dangers, and devoid of any treasure, then do they first have to penetrate this mirrored city and reach the real one... only then can they possibly find the treasure? And only then can they find a way out?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Now Shen Yichuan still believed in his intuition. After all, along the way, every time he made a choice and looked for those keys, he relied on his intuition!
At this time, Qi Xiuyuan came over.
Shen Yichuan obviously saw the other party and hurried over.
"Have you found anything?" Qi Xiuyuan asked. He was just asking casually. After all, he had been here for such a long time and hadn't found anything, and neither had the others.
Unexpectedly, after asking this question, Shen Yichuan actually nodded.
Qi Xiuyuan was stunned when he saw the other party nod.
What does this nod mean? What did he discover so quickly? Impossible...
Then he heard Shen Yichuan lower his voice and say, "Do you think this city is a bit abnormal in its dilapidated state? And this city doesn't give me a normal feeling either. I have a suspicion now. I think this city might be a city in the mirror, not the real city. That's why you only encounter dangers here but no opportunities. If you want to get the treasure, I'm afraid you have to find the real city. And this city here reminds me of those mirror people... I think maybe the clue lies in those mirror people."
Qi Xiuyuan was stunned.
But he quickly followed Shen Yichuan's thoughts, and then he found that this was actually quite possible... It was just that they had been stuck in the game before, so they didn't realize that this city might not be really like this. It should be said that they had never thought about it in this way.
Shen Yichuan had been practicing for three days after arriving here, and now he was just out for a stroll when he discovered such a significant clue. Suddenly, Qi Xiuyuan felt his emotions become even more complicated... Could this person really be God's illegitimate child?
Shen Yichuan didn't know what Qi Xiuyuan was thinking. He just said, "Let's go outside the city and have a look. It would be best if we could find a crazy mirror person. I want to see the crazy mirror person first, and then see the normal mirror person."
Qi Xiuyuan nodded, and when the two of them were heading out of the city, he asked, "Why do you want to find the crazy mirror person?"
"It's just a hunch. Anyway, I feel that if there's really something wrong with this city, the clue lies in the mirror people. Didn't you say before that mirror people will devour each other? And they devour everything... I want to go and see."
So Qi Xiuyuan didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them entered a forest outside the city, where they encountered several more people fighting against their own reflections. Qi Xiuyuan had no intention of intervening, and Shen Yichuan glanced away, wanting to look away. If his figure suddenly paused, why did he feel that the one farthest away looked a bit like Fatty Zhou?
Shen Yichuan couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Fatty Zhou was quite fat, but his outline was easy to recognize. This person was quite thin, but he suddenly felt that if Fatty Zhou lost weight, he would look quite similar to this person.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Yichuan stared at that place for a while longer, and Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but ask.
Shen Yichuan pointed at the person who was fighting with his mirror image in the farthest distance, "Do you think that person looks a lot like Fatty Zhou?"
Qi Xiuyuan looked at it a few more times and nodded lightly.
"It does look a bit like them. They might be from the same family. Why, do you want to help?"
Chen Yichuan smiled slightly. "The fact that we were able to obtain so many treasures in this secret realm this time is at least due to Fatty Zhou's contribution, right? Although I wanted to take a look at the crazy mirror image first, now that there is a ready-made non-crazy mirror image here...it's okay to take a look first."
Qi Xiuyuan thought of the treasures in Shen Yichuan's storage bag, and finally nodded silently. It was indeed Zhou Pang's credit that he got so many good things, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he gave a hand.
However, Qi Xiuyuan had no intention of doing it himself. He just watched Shen Yichuan release the green shade...
