"Where is the five-digit number located? How far is it from here?"
Li Qingyu asked.
He mainly wanted to determine if it was on the way.
If it's on the way, take the five-digit number with you to find the main body; if not, just leave it and let Number 88 take you to find the main body.
Anyway, the thing I'm best at with five-figure sums is building houses.
Going with him would be a waste.
"In the West, it's not that far."
Number 88 lowered his head slightly, looking at the little red baby sitting blankly on the rock, whose head was originally topped with Li Qingyu.
"All right."
On the other hand, Li Qingyu felt that finding the original body was more important, so he gave the order directly.
"Take me to the East, help me find my body."
"Yes, my lord."
Number 88 straightened up and held Li Qingyu in his arms with one hand.
Without asking why, he decisively turned around.
*Smack!*
Just then, number 88 paused.
Suddenly, the little red doll, who had been sitting still like a wooden statue, reached out and grabbed number 88's right wrist once again.
"Who... gave you permission to take my gourd?"
The little red doll slowly raised its head.
His already serious, square face looked even more serious.
At the same time, apart from the fourth big green doll and the seventh little purple doll who was buried in the ground, the other dolls all raised their heads and looked at the eighty-eighth doll who was preparing to leave with Li Qingyu.
only....
Number 88 is indeed different from the egg-shaped man from before.
Egg Man's wrist shattered when Little Red Boy squeezed it, but Number 88 was unharmed, letting Little Red Boy hold him, a sickly smile on his face.
"And who... gave you permission to grab my wrist?"
For a moment, the image froze.
Number 88 and Little Red Boy stared at each other, seemingly ready to fight at any moment.
However, at that moment, the basilisk that had been watching the show swam over.
"My little husbands, let them go."
As soon as those words were spoken...
The little children, who had just raised their heads, lowered them again and returned to their silent puppet state.
Even Little Red Boy withdrew his hand and stopped interfering.
Li Qingyu looked at the snake monster with slight surprise.
I was thinking, even after this thing evolved, it still has such great authority over these little gourd babies?
But upon closer inspection...
But a problem was discovered.
Li Qingyu was horrified to discover...
After his evolution, the snake monster, which had transformed from an old man's face into a delicate half-face, now showed signs of aging on each of its pretty faces.
It looks like it won't be long.
The snake monster's countless half-faces will then revert to their original old man face!
Li Qingyu sensed something was wrong.
Then he turned to look at the number four green baby and the number seven gourd.
The size of these two... seems to be shrinking?
Damn it....
Ultimately, there's still a problem here!
After sighing, Li Qingyu ordered Number Eighty-Eight to hurry up and leave.
This godforsaken place.
He didn't want to stay a minute longer.
Hearing Li Qingyu's order, Number 88 had no choice but to suppress the eagerness in his eyes, turn around, and rush towards the entrance of the mountain road.
When passing by thatched cottages.
Li Qingyu seemed to see a large, ornate mirror in the bedroom of the thatched hut.
Inside the mirror.
A blue-green egg-shaped man was pounding on the mirror with a look of fear on his face.
Li Qingyu glanced at it and then ignored it.
His most important task at present is to find his original body.
As long as the original body is found.
All problems will be solved.
Therefore, there is no need for him to waste his time here. It's not like he's playing an escape room game. He needs to slowly solve the puzzles, find his true self, and then crush everything. That's the optimal solution!
The road down the mountain.
For No. 88, it was like walking on flat ground.
Thus, amidst the trembling attacks of Number 88, Li Qingyu successfully followed Number 88 down the mountain.
But strangely...
There was a path to the top of the mountain, but once you got to the bottom, there was no path left.
There was only a grove of wild grasses, their leaves a dark green, giving it a somewhat gloomy appearance, and because it was approaching evening, the grove was even darker.
However.
Just as Number 88 was leading Li Qingyu into the dim light beneath the trees.
Feeling something, Li Qingyu suddenly shifted his attention and looked towards the peak behind him.
Number 88 seemed to sense something as well.
He paused in his steps.
Turning my head, I looked at the faintly visible peak behind me.
At this moment, all that can be seen is the summit.
A black shadowy figure with a snake's tail and a human body, accompanied by thirteen small shadowy children, stood motionless on the edge of the mountain.
Like fourteen neatly bound scarecrows, they silently watched Li Qingyu and Number Eighty-Eight.
I don't know why.
Li Qingyu felt inexplicably uneasy.
The smile on Number 88's face also faded slightly.
"Stop looking, let's go."
Li Qingyu refocused his attention.
See for yourself, watch if you want.
Once I find my original body, I'll beat you all to a pulp.
Upon hearing this, Number 88 turned around and rushed into the woods, heading quickly eastward.
"Xiao Ba, how many shadows did you see?"
As they walked, Li Qingyu asked curiously.
"Eighth Dao, what's wrong, Lord?" Number Eighty-Eight asked, somewhat puzzled.
"nothing...."
Li Qingyu sighed inwardly.
So in the end, it turns out he himself had the problem?
"By the way, isn't the goal of this competition to find the altar? Have you found any clues?" Li Qingyu changed the subject.
to be honest.
Li Qingyu was very interested in that thing called the Wish Box.
Because of the name...
It's like a wish-granting machine; you can have whatever you want.
So, it's not unreasonable for him to be promoted three levels in a row to Crimson, right?
Even if the Crimson level is too high, and the Wish Box can't be upgraded, surely you can still complete the Pale or Purple/Azure levels without any side effects?
It saves me from carrying around a fragment all day long and worrying about other fragments taking advantage of me.
Let's just finish it.
"Yes," Number 88 replied. "We discovered several tombs for a five-figure sum, and dug out some clues from them."
"Coincidentally... those clues also point to the East."
"In the East... there seems to be a country."
Number 88 licked his lips with great interest as he spoke.
"And... it is a human kingdom, a kingdom ruled and established by humans. As for those nine altars, they are the masterpieces of this human kingdom."
"Human kingdom?"
Li Qingyu pondered these words, utterly shocked.
This was the first time Li Qingyu had encountered a complete human nation in the Civilization Competition.
Unexpectedly...
It was actually hidden inside a black hole.
"wrong!"
Li Qingyu suddenly realized what was happening.
"The mission of the United System is to destroy those nine altars."
"Doesn't that mean..."
"Are we enemies with that human kingdom?"
