Chapter 243 Giants and Water Holes
A gray gauze floated out from between Wang Ran's brows. This gauze exuded a unique divine aura, protecting Wang Ran's body in the chaotic airflow.
This is the divinity condensed by Wang Ran.
Wang Ran looked at the slightly distant world and fell into silence.
"I take back what I said just now."
He murmured.
This pair of shoes is not just for show, at least not for him.
Even standing in the empty world sea, he felt as if he was stepping on something, as long as he exerted more strength, he would be able to "jump" up.
But this is already the world sea.
If you step hard in the world, you will come to the world sea, so what about stepping hard in the world sea?
Wang Ran suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.
If he stepped hard in the World Sea, would he float far in the World Sea, or would he go from the inside of the World Sea to the outside of the World Sea, just like he went from the inside of the World Sea to the outside of the World Sea?
Wang Ran was eager to verify this idea.
[Start real-time simulation]
[You stepped hard]
Wang Ran held his breath.
[You jumped out of the World Sea]
"Did you really leave the World Sea?!"
Wang Ran was surprised.
He just simulated it with the idea of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that he would be surprised. The Monkey King's lotus silk cloud-walking shoes actually helped him jump out of the World Sea!
What is outside the sea?
During the last doomsday crisis, Wang Ran spent time in the library of the Morada believers and read countless materials. There was no information about anything outside the World Sea.
The few sentences that were said were also vague, as if even Morada didn't know what was happening outside the World Sea.
Great Sage! My Great Sage!
It has to be you!
At this time, the text continued to scroll down.
[You lost your ability to perceive]
[Under the reminder of the "Savior Simulator", you realized that you need to use divinity to replace your original sensory organs]
Outside the sea, eyes and ears are useless.
[You burned the only bit of divinity you have]
[You got a ray of light]
Wang Ran perked up.
He currently only has a bit of divinity, which means he can only take a glimpse of the scene outside the world sea.
[You are shocked by everything in front of you]
[You find that the World Sea is just a small pond on the verge of drying up. You notice that there are many similar ponds nearby. You see a "giant" drinking water not far away]
[The divine nature is completely burned out]
[You lose your perception of the outside world]
[You forget what you just saw and heard]
[The "giant" noticed you]
[You are annihilated in His eyes]
[Simulation ends]
Wang Ran fell into silence.
After a while, he said to himself with a dry mouth: "The World Sea is just a small pond, and it is a small pond on the verge of drying up."
He was originally mentally prepared. If there is another world outside the World Sea, the creatures active in that world must be much stronger than the creatures that cannot leave the World Sea.
But he didn't expect the World Sea to be so unbearable!
And it's also very dangerous.
Not only was he on the verge of drying up, but there was also a giant drinking water next to him.
He suddenly felt a huge sense of urgency.
The Earth was still in this World Sea, and he could not allow the World Sea to dry up, let alone allow the giants outside the World Sea to drink up the World Sea.
Wang Ran's eyes flashed with ferocity.
[Start real-time simulation] [
You activated "Time and Space Replacement"
] [You activated "The Man with His Own BGM"]
[You left the protection of divinity]
[You dealt with it twice]
[You are in danger of death under the impact of the chaotic currents of the World Sea]
[You activated "The Sweeper of the World"]
That giant is too dangerous.
Maybe He will not drink up the World Sea where Wang Ran is, after all, this World Sea was almost dry, but Wang Ran will not hand over his fate to others in vain.
He wanted to kill the giant.
Or at least drive him away.
[You made the giant unlucky]
[You are facing the danger of your life]
[The giant will immediately be unlucky]
[The giant was already seriously injured, and when the bad luck came, he could only wail in despair]
Already seriously injured?
Wang Ran suddenly realized something.
"Giant" and "little water hole" are both for him, so what is the "little water hole" to the "giant"?
Maybe just a tiny drop of water?
The giant lay on the ground and licked a drop of water, and his condition was obviously very bad.
[Driven by bad luck, the giant spit out his last breath to hang on, fell down powerlessly, and entered the irreversible countdown to death]
[You kick lightly]
[You drag your seriously injured body back to the world just now]
[You fall into coma]
[Simulation ends]
Wang Ran thought for two seconds.
Although he didn't know why the giant was seriously injured, he knew that the giant would need to replenish a lot of energy to recover.
That's why the giant was lying on the ground licking water.
But the giant is very big, and one or two water holes will definitely not satisfy him. If he is not stopped, the giant will most likely lick up the world sea where he is.
He must take action.
Wang Ran made up his mind.
Time and space replacement!
All kinds of indescribable strange feelings filled his heart, and in an instant, he felt that he had held a lot of power.
[The man with his own BGM] Start!
"I worked hard to grow vegetables~"
"But you secretly came to destroy it~"
"Let me find out~"
"Happy Farm is full of pests~"
A funny melody sounded deep in Wang Ran's mind.
Ah this!
The world sea can't play songs, so you play brain worms on him?
The corners of Wang Ran's mouth twitched, but he didn't have time to worry about it, because the giant was seriously injured now, but it might not be the same after licking a few more saliva.
He gritted his teeth and retracted his divinity between his eyebrows.
A terrifying energy storm came at his face, and he dealt with it twice in a daze, and then was swept in.
Damn! Damn! Damn!
The energy storm was like countless sharp knives, easily cutting off a layer of Wang Ran's flesh.
Wang Ran was incoherent in the pain.
Although he has resolved three doomsday crises, he has never experienced any decent battles in reality, and his ability to endure pain is almost zero. He simply cannot bear this pain that is comparable to Ling Chi.
His body keeps switching between white bones and bloody flesh.
The self-healing ability of [Newt Constitution] is on par with the speed at which his body is damaged, but he can feel that his physical energy is rapidly depleting.
If he continues like this, he will surely die.
Wang Ran gritted his teeth.
[Human Sweeper], start!
After doing this, he kicked lightly.
In a trance, he felt the light and shadow shaking in front of his eyes, and then he fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
"Old man! Come quickly!"
"Someone fell into our haystack!"
Chi'an County is the fiefdom of Chi'an Jun.
In the early years when Chi Anjun was still in power, officials and people in Chi An County were friendly and harmonious.
Later, Chi Anjun was sentenced to death by the emperor.
The atmosphere in Chi An County became worse and worse. Today, more than ten years later, officials in Chi An County are corrupt and bandits are rampant nearby. It has become a decadent place. Officials with a little bit of ideals are unwilling to come here.
"Old man Chai, it's time to pay the next ten years of taxes."
On this day, the tax collector came to a small courtyard.
Other places collect taxes for the current year, but Chi An County collects taxes for the next ten years, and to be precise, not the next ten years, but the taxes from the next ten years to the next ten years.
Because the first ten years were taken away by the previous county governor.
Old Man Chai walked out of the courtyard unsteadily, leaning on a cane.
"Hey"
"My two officials, can the tax payment be delayed for a while?"
"My family has admitted a patient."
"He has been in a coma for a while, and the money has been used to buy him medicine. I really can't take it out for a while."
The official's attitude was unusually arrogant .
"Don't play dumb with me!"
"Everyone knows that your Chai family was the servant of the traitor Chi Anjun. Others can pay, so why can't you?"
Old Man Chai said humbly, "My two officials."
"Shut up! Take the money!"
The official pushed Old Man Chai hard.
Old Man Chai's frail body hit the wall, like a straw hitting a brick pile, and bounced lightly, and then he let out a cry of pain.
The official said in disgust: "Go get the money quickly, or you'll go to jail!"
Old Man Chai turned around with a gloomy look in his eyes.
He walked into the house holding on to the wall, and after a while he came out with a heavy money bag.
He handed the money bag to the official silently.
The official opened the money bag and counted it carefully.
"The number is correct!"
"This much!"
"You have paid your taxes!"
The official nodded with satisfaction.
Old Man Chai turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" The official stopped him, "Where are ours?"
Old Man Chai was stunned.
The official said confidently, "We two came under the scorching sun to collect your taxes, why don't you give us a little reward?"
Reward?
Mr. Chai was furious.
But he had no choice but to take out two small strings of copper coins from his pocket.
"This is a gift to the two officials."
He said with a humiliated voice.
"Haha! That's good enough!"
The official took the money and left without much delay, because they still had to collect taxes from other families. Many families had strong men, and it was very troublesome to collect taxes.
Old Man Chai closed the door and turned back to the room.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He had just sat down when the door was knocked again.
Old Man Chai walked out to open the door with a nervous look on his face, wondering who was knocking on his door this time.
"Who is it?"
he asked through the door.
"Black Wind Mansion, collecting this year's tribute!"
Old Man Chai's face fell.
He opened the door and saw two people covered with black gauze.
He said cautiously, "Master of Black Wind Mansion, can you delay this year's tribute? The government has just collected ten years of taxes, and the tax collectors just left. My family is really out of money."
Black Wind Mansion is the largest robber gang in the vicinity.
"Damn it, we are too late!"
"Are these officials full of pig fat? They have collected ten years of taxes, aren't they afraid of people's rebellion?"
The robber's tone was full of anger.
Old Man Chai didn't dare to say a word.
"In that case, then I will give you a delay of sixty days."
The older robber said, "We will come to collect this year's tribute after sixty days. If you can't pay it by then, don't blame us in Black Wind Mansion for being ruthless!"
Old Man Chai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The older robber asked again, "Where did the tax collector go?"
Old Man Chai pointed them in the direction.
"Let's go and kill the tax collector!"
"Okay!"
The two robbers left in a murderous rage.
Old Man Chai closed the door and sighed.
These days, officials are more cruel than robbers.
Robbers only collect one year's tribute at a time, and if they can't collect it, they are given 60 days to raise money. They are actually more merciful than officials.
Old Man Chai turned around slowly.
But this time he didn't even enter the door, and the door was knocked again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Old Man Chai asked fearfully, "Who is it?"
"Open the door! We are collecting taxes!"
"Ten years of taxes!"
Old Man Chai was confused.
Why are there another group of tax collectors? Didn't he just pay taxes?
"Officials! I just paid taxes!"
He shouted through the door.
"Maybe someone went to the wrong place and ran to our territory."
"We don't care about that."
"You must pay the taxes to us!"
"Otherwise, go to jail!"
"You choose!"
Pay ten years of taxes again?
Old Man Chai felt his eyes go dark and his thin body was about to fall.
