Since Earthly Branch can project Yang Kang's experience into Su Wen's consciousness, it can naturally see more details.
The forbidden object can also sense the strength of both sides on the battlefield, and it was discovered that the rot bird can become a weirder and more powerful existence through combination. For example, after the rot bird crushed by Yang Kang was reorganized into a new appearance with three heads and six wings,
His strength reached the peak of Sequence Three.
Earthly Branches keenly discovered that the power of the rotten bird can actually break through this level, but there seems to be a mysterious force around it that limits the power of the rotten bird to this level.
After the local branch compared the power displayed by Yang Kang, it was not difficult to infer that Yang Kang deliberately showed the lethality of Sequence Three.
In this way, the rot bird will not become more terrifying, and Yang Kang can fight for a longer time.
"This old fox..."
Su Wen nodded repeatedly and approved Earthly Branches' analysis.
"How long can Yang Kang last?"
Su Wen asked about the earthly branches.
"It's hard to say..."
Earthly Branch was in a dilemma: "The number of rotting birds keeps increasing, but Yang Kang's consumption has not been replenished. The power of the ice cone will soon be exhausted. By then, he can only rely on his own strength to support... One hour is the limit.
Already."
"One hour... is enough."
Su Wen calculated the time. An hour later, it was already getting dark and the fog should dissipate.
By then, there is a certain probability that the rotten bird will evacuate, and Yang Kang will be saved.
But Yang Kang, who has exhausted all his strength...should he try to provoke him?
Su Wen felt his adventurous blood boiling.
A rookie wants to take advantage of the five big guys in the sequence. How many glasses of wine does he have the courage to do?
What's even more troublesome is that Yang Kang can't be killed.
Once killed, it is very likely that a lively Yang Kang will appear immediately to seek bad luck for him.
Thinking of this, Su Wen felt a little discouraged.
"That's all... You can't afford to mess with this guy. When you find Su Muzhe, ask him what happened... Why is this guy like splitting himself, growing a new one in a flash..."
"Suwen!"
However, Yang Kang did not stop calling him, and shouted sharply: "Are you really going to die without saving me?"
"……certainly!"
Su Wen secretly replied in his heart.
"I spared your life! I also reminded you to be careful of the turtle, otherwise you would have been a bastard in the sea!"
Yang Kang counted all the good things he did to Su Wen.
It just sounded to Su Wen's ears, but it didn't make him happy. He thought to himself: "Thank you to your whole family!"
Yang Kang still refused to give up. A ball of ice flowers suddenly exploded from the end of the ice pick, freezing four or five rotten birds in front of him. He shouted loudly: "Su Wen! Help me once! I will never trouble you again!"
"If you are completely eliminated by the Rotten Bird, you won't be able to trouble me in the future..."
Su Wen had a silent conversation with Yang Kang in his heart.
When he heard Yang Kang's shrill cry for help, Su Wen not only felt no pity, but felt a bit happy.
If it weren't for Yang Kang, how could he have come to a ghost place like Ghost Island? Yang Kang brought him here with no good intentions at all. Su Wen believed that if he had not escaped from Yang Kang, he would have died by now.
Already.
"Does this mean that evil people will be punished by evil people?"
Su Wen sighed and prepared to block his ears so as not to listen to Yang Kang's voice.
"I'll return the cold cone to you! I'll give you a few more forbidden things!"
Seeing that Su Wen, who was born in a Confucian school, did not respect benevolence and righteousness, Yang Kang had no choice but to change his strategy and lure him for profit.
Ice picks are taboo objects with numbers. In Yang Kang's opinion, this treasure is much more precious than Su Wen. Su Wen would probably regard it as more important than his own life.
Not to mention, he has been wandering around for many years, but he has actually collected a lot of forbidden objects. However, the forbidden objects have different properties. Some are very precious, but some can basically be used as ornaments and have only useless abilities. However, they are contaminated with "taboos".
With the word "thing", someone must be willing to pay a big price to collect it.
"Haha...Am I the one who lacks forbidden items?"
Su Wen was not tempted. Now he still has Xiaomo, Earthly Branches, and a carving knife on him. Especially the carving knife and the Earthly Branches are of extremely high quality, but he cannot exert his due power, so he still covets other taboo objects.
It's not Su Wen's style.
"I know a secret, a secret about how to gain eternal life!"
In a short period of time, Yang Kang froze nearly thirty rotten birds and achieved considerable success.
But……
During this time, more than fifty rotting birds came over to fill the gap. After discovering this phenomenon, Yang Kang wanted to die, so he had to grit his teeth and tell the most valuable information in his hand.
.
"eternal life?!"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, then a sneer appeared on his face.
In Su Wen's view, eternal life is a false proposition in any world.
The universe will end one day, let alone humans?
It seemed that Yang Kang wanted to trick him into showing up, and he was really going to the extent of speaking arrogantly.
"Please, try to be more careful when you lie to people..."
"Do you want to know why I keep being resurrected? This is a way of eternal life!"
Yang Kang shouted loudly: "It's just that I made a mistake when I tried, and there were flaws, which turned it into what it is now. But I have found the fallacy and will definitely not make the same mistakes again... So, this secret, you want to
don't want?!"
Yang Kang roared loudly and froze seven or eight rotting birds in front of him into ice sculptures.
There was already a thick layer of rotting birds under his feet. Many of them had begun to recover from their frozen state and even stretched out their necks to peck at him. Yang Kang stepped on them to the ground and twisted their feet hard.
, crushing the bird's head to pieces.
"Damn it!"
Although Yang Kang had achieved fruitful results, he was not satisfied, and instead felt a little angry.
He subconsciously exerted the lethality of Sequence 4 or above, and the momentum of the rotting birds around him also changed. As the mist swept in from all directions, the rotting birds hid in it for a few seconds, and the rotting birds appeared again on Yang Kang.
When he walked forward, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the originally empty eye sockets, and the aura emanating from his body was close to that of a human race sequence four transcendent.
"really!"
When Su Wen saw this scene, he took a deep breath.
Earthly Branches' guess was indeed correct.
The stronger the enemy, the rot bird's power will be adjusted to the corresponding level.
Naturally, the rotten bird does not have this ability and can adjust its lethality on its own. But behind the rotten bird, it is Ghost Island who controls all of this. The guy who claims to be the ultimate will of the abyss has such an ability.
The rotting bird is nothing more than a puppet of the ultimate will.
"Since Yang Kang is dealing with Ghost Island, we can't even take action..."
Su Wen took a deep breath and decided not to wade into the muddy water.
Moreover, with his limited abilities, even if he wanted to do something, he would not be able to make any splash. Instead, he would attract the hostility of the Ghost Island, which would do no good at all.
"Suwen!"
Seeing that Su Wen still had no reaction, Yang Kang said angrily: "If you don't save someone, are you still a Confucian? What happened in front of you and you didn't help me? Do you still want to be promoted to the Confucian rank in the future?!"
A Confucian gentleman has always had the courage to "go there even if there are thousands of people". He is also more benevolent and willing to help others. If a Confucian scholar cannot fulfill the core spirit of Confucianism, it will be very difficult for him to complete the promotion ceremony.
In particular, Yang Kang spoke loudly, clearly intending to deepen Su Wen's negative influence in this regard, so that Su Wen would eventually have to lend a helping hand.
This can also be considered as bullying.
"This silly thing... I can tell at a glance that you haven't read the book, haven't you heard of 'a gentleman will not save you'?"
The sage made it clear that you should help others when you should help them, but if conditions do not allow it and you may risk your own life while saving others, you must not do such a thing.
This is the teaching of a saint. If you follow the old man's wishes, how can a flaw in your Taoist heart affect your promotion?
Not to mention, Yang Kang was not qualified to be saved at all.
Furthermore...Su Wen's foundation is Confucianism, but when he enters the realm of historians, the Confucian context is not everything. It is just one of the cornerstones of the historian's approach. Even if there are some flaws, they can be made up for through other ways.
.
"damn thing!"
At this time, Yang Kang finally realized that no matter how many benefits he offered, Su Wen would not help, so he cursed: "I'll take care of you after I take care of these corpse doves!"
"Corpse Dove..."
At this time, Su Wen finally knew that the creature he called a rotting bird was originally called a corpse dove.
"Oops!"
Su Wen was suddenly frightened. When he learned Corpse Dove's name, he felt a chill in his heart.
It was as if a malicious force in the mist was staring at him and locking his position.
Su Wen immediately understood that when he silently recited the word "corpse dove" in his heart, he was sensed by the corpse dove. This is a common taboo pollution chain, but Su Wen was not aware of it for a moment and was affected by the breath of the corpse dove.
perceived.
"damn thing!"
Su Wen was furious.
Yang Kang cheated him!
He finally understood at this time that after Yang Kang discovered that he was nearby, he wanted Corpse Dove to notice his presence.
But Su Wen is a transcendent person after all, and he has certain precautions against taboo pollution.
So from the beginning, he kept using words to make Su Wen relax his vigilance and distract him.
Then he called out Corpse Dove's name.
When Su Wen subconsciously understood this name, he was aware of the forbidden power of the corpse dove.
"Hahaha……"
Yang Kang laughed happily and wildly: "Su Wen! I let you watch from the sidelines! You are going to die too!"
Su Wen took a long breath. He originally just wanted to eat a melon on the side, but in the end the melon fell on his head.
"I should have left here just now..."
Before Su Wen could regret it, he heard the sound of a corpse dove flapping its wings, getting closer and closer.
Earthly Branch adjusted his vision, and Su Wen tightened his grip on the carving knife.
"call!"
The moment he felt the strong wind hitting his face, Su Wen slashed forward with the carving knife!
"Gah..."
The tip of the carving knife struck the corpse dove on the head. The corpse dove let out a shrill cry and fell to the ground as if it was struck by lightning.
"Peng!"
What surprised Su Wen even more was that the corpse dove that had fallen on the ground did not get up and continue to cause trouble for him. Instead, a ball of yellow-blue flame ignited from its head and spread to the whole body. The corpse dove screamed.
, stumbled and fled to the side, but before he could get far, he was burned to ashes by the flames.
"Ah this..."
Su Wen looked at the carving knife in his hand with a look of disbelief on his face.
