There are thousands of living things in the world.
Each organism has a different growth rate.
Some organisms can grow into giants within a year, and some organisms can still be larvae within a year.
But no matter how fast these organisms grow, they will eventually reach the end point called "death".
As one of the thousands of creatures in the world, the gatekeeper naturally cannot stay away.
They will die too.
But they can live longer than any other living thing.
And a long period of time can also allow them to refine abilities to a level that humans can never reach.
Spudimen's ability to reject everything called "isolation" is most suitable for the status of "gatekeeper".
If you use your abilities in battle, you can at least be in an absolutely invincible position.
So when facing a group of ants, Spudimen never thought that he would lose or die...
how can that be possible--
How is this possible?
But this is not an illusion, it is reality.
The body was split in half vertically, but the strong vitality prevented Spudimen from dying immediately.
His eyes, which were still functioning biologically, were staring at Moyu in disbelief.
He couldn't accept it.
I still can't figure out how this human being did it.
Everyone present looked at Spudimen's body that was dripping with a lot of blood, and they didn't understand how Moyu did it.
In less than a minute, what happened to Moyu?
So that the power of the slash can be increased by one dimension?
Moyu looked calmly at Spudimen, where the vitality was about to disappear.
The only remaining counterpoint cornerstone was originally prepared to solve the "disaster".
But after successfully controlling the leader, I thought I could save this precious cornerstone.
But I didn't expect that the gatekeeper would have such terrifying abilities.
It can not only transfer them through the air, but also control the wind circle filled with dense wind blades, as well as the kind of absolute defense involving the power of rules.
So Moyu naturally wants to use the cornerstone to deal with the goalkeeper.
Therefore, under the ability of the cornerstone to "fight certain phenomena", Moyu gained the ability to "cut off space".
It is said that it is cutting off space, but it is actually a conceptual ability that is above the rules, and is subtly related to his lost ability of "soul echo".
That knife just now,
It can be said that it cuts off space, or it can be said that it cuts off space including shadow.
And this "passive ability" has a restrictive price.
Moyu can cause substantial damage to the target by cutting off the shadow, but his own shadow will also become the target of the attack.
But what’s interesting is…
Moyu has no shadow.
So this cost is basically negligible.
Moyu's silent silence, the gatekeeper's disbelief.
The venue was silent for a while.
finally,
The life inside the gatekeeper's body was gone, and his body that was split into two finally fell to the ground without strength.
If given a chance to do it again, this gatekeeper who has guarded this place for many years would definitely not make the decision to "deal with this group of humans."
It's a pity that there is no if.
Moyu confirmed the death of the gatekeeper, and then asked Chido to organize everyone to start rescuing the wounded.
"how did you do it?"
Jin came to the body of the gatekeeper and turned his head to look at Moyu.
This battle ended too quickly.
But everyone knows how the battle will turn out.
There was no possibility of breaking through the gatekeeper's defense...
Hearing Jin's unabashed inquiry, Moyu stared down at the gatekeeper's body, thinking about a certain question, and answered the question casually.
"I temporarily 'edited' my reading ability."
"..."
Jin was slightly startled when he heard this.
Editing ability...
This is the most interesting part of his "Ready Player One" ability.
But temporary editing capabilities are easier said than done.
But if this person was Moyu, Jin had no doubt at all.
After all, he had personally experienced Moyu's ability to edit telekinesis on the spot during that battle.
"sharp."
After a few seconds of silence, Jin praised him seriously and did not ask what price Moyu had to bear.
Moyu smiled and continued to look at the body of the gatekeeper.
He is thinking——
Should we use the "gene chimerism" ability on the gatekeeper?
It may not meet the conditions for use, or it may successfully absorb the gatekeeper's genetic ability.
Moyu hesitated.
Even if he absolutely absorbs the gatekeeper's genes, he cannot do it in front of everyone.
"There's no rush, let's wait until Chiduo and the others finish their work."
Moyu calmed down his thoughts for a moment.
This battle was very sudden, and the casualties were quite serious. I am afraid it will take at least a day before we can start again.
The second step is to figure out where you are and where the Purple Smoke has gone.
Without the Purple Smoke, it would be difficult for them to cross the undeveloped waters, let alone return to the six continents.
Thinking of going together with Mo You, there were also Mo Laowu and the others.
When they were forcibly transferred by the gatekeeper, the Purple Smoke did not come with them.
From this point of view, the transfer ability is mostly aimed at living entities.
And the problem now is——
How to find the Ziyan number.
This problem alone makes Mo Laowu and others feel troubled.
Only Moyu didn't panic at all.
Before coming to the Dark Continent, he had already prepared a backup plan. As long as he had crossed the Dark Sea, he would not have to worry about not being able to return.
So he was more concerned about the number of "gatekeepers" than the return journey.
"We don't rule out the possibility that there is a second gatekeeper here. In short... wait for the injured to take care of their injuries and leave the place of trouble as soon as possible."
Moyu moved his eyes away from the body of the gatekeeper and turned to look at the surrounding environment.
This is a barren flat land with no greenery at all, and the view is so broad that you can't even see the end of it at a glance.
Since there are no obvious reference objects and no buildings such as city walls can be seen, it is difficult to judge whether this is the continent where we visited the gatekeeper before.
If you have to say there are similarities...
When the gatekeeper opened the door before, he could vaguely see that the environment inside the door was similar to here, with desolate and barren land.
That night.
The team decided to rest in place for a day.
The wind trap set by the gatekeeper reduced Byande's team to only nine people, and Moyu also sacrificed two members with special talents.
They are Nong Wu, who is responsible for logistics and transportation, and Kong Lu, who has rich knowledge of fantasy beasts.
In addition, more than half of the wounded were injured.
Except for a few people in Moyu, everyone else suffered injuries of varying severity.
Take Peng Si, the members with weaker protective abilities, all of them were seriously injured.
Thanks to the team's extremely strong medical capabilities, they were able to save them from the gate of hell.
There was no time left to mourn for the dead. After dealing with the injuries of the wounded, Chido held a meeting under Moyu's instruction to discuss the subsequent decision.
Moyo did not attend the meeting, but went to the place where the gatekeeper's body was laid.
After much thought, he decided to use the "gene chimerism" ability on the gatekeeper.
The next day, at noon.
The temperature was quite low last night, but it was extremely high during the day.
Unsure of how large the wasteland was, the team set off immediately.
After all, supplies cannot be replenished in real time in this environment. If it weren't for Axi's storage space capabilities, even if they could solve the threat of the gatekeeper, they would still die here due to food and water problems.
Not to mention the seriously injured members of the team. Without medical supplies and equipment, they would never survive with that level of injury.
Most of the team members were wounded, which limited their marching speed.
However, the food and water sources in the mind space are still sufficient, so there is no need to worry within a week.
Several days passed.
The team has not yet left the wasteland, and food and drinking water are getting less and less day by day.
But compared to the food issue, Moyo is more worried about the possible consequences of the death of gatekeeper Spudimen.
He didn't know the specific details of the gatekeeper, so he had this concern.
But once people worry about something, something will happen.
This evening.
The marching team suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression like black clouds pressing down on the city.
Several powerful auras came from behind.
Everyone in the team looked at concentration, and Moyu, who was leading the way, ducked to the back of the team and raised his eyes to look in the direction where the breath was coming from.
Under his gaze, a tall and thin figure flew quickly across the wasteland, breaking into everyone's field of vision in just a moment.
The person was about three meters tall, with flaming down all over his body. He had narrow eyes and a long black nose. A pair of arms hung like bamboo poles in front of his knees, and terrifying telepathy surged across his body.
Obviously another powerful Warcraft clan.
Promixi is the name of this Warcraft clan.
We are all members of the gatekeeper clan, and we are here to pursue him this time, naturally because of the death of Spudimen.
"You were the one who killed Spudimen?"
Breaking into everyone's field of vision at lightning speed, Promixi immediately locked onto Moyu, who had the strongest aura.
No basis is needed at all.
Some things can be determined with just one glance.
Facing Promixi's questioning, Moyu confirmed that the other party was also from the gatekeeper clan.
He did not respond to the question, and in the silence, he materialized the black knife.
Seven.
This is a powerful breath that can be felt.
But the red-haired monster in front of me seemed to be the fastest, so I rushed to the front.
From this point, it can be seen that the gatekeeper clan obviously has no awareness of coordinated operations.
This is good news.
Seeing that Moyu was silent, Promixi didn't care either.
Because just when he asked, he was already ready to attack.
Swish——
In the midst of the surging thought power, a sharp white bone as thick as a baby's arm appeared in an instant, and stabbed Moyu on the forehead in an instant.
There is no warning for such an attack, and it is impossible to guard against it.
By the time everyone reacted, the sharp white bone had already hit Moyu.
Promixi's face was expressionless, with a look of indifference in his eyes.
However--
The indifference in his eyes was quickly replaced by surprise.
The sharp white bone that hit Moyu's forehead was shattered into pieces in the next moment.
"you……!!!"
Promixi's expression changed, and his slightly widened eyes stared at Moyu.
The power of isolation...
This is the innate ability of their gatekeeper clan.
Why can this human being use it?
Just as Promixi was shocked, Moyu's face was calm, he ducked in front of Promixi, and then swung his knife to kill him.
The sharp sword light flashed.
Before Promich could react, he felt the sharp pain that he had not seen for a long time.
"How can it be!?"
A look of surprise appeared on Promish's face.
then,
The shocked expression was cut in half.
Promixi followed in the footsteps of Spudimen and was cut in half by Moyu.
The other six gatekeepers who were coming here saw Moyu cutting Promixi in half with a knife from a distance, and they were all shocked and showed expressions of disbelief.
but,
Without even a moment mourning the death of Prometheus, the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was Hercules, a member of the gatekeeper clan who was famous for his strength.
Moyu looked sideways at Hercules, who was as strong as a dinosaur, and slashed out with his sword again.
The slash that perfectly targeted the "power of isolation" cut Hercules in half as he rushed to the battlefield in an instant.
There’s no time to mourn for Heracles, the next person to appear is...
The third gatekeeper.
One minute later.
There were seven more corpses on the desolate land.
Everyone in the venue looked at the seven corpses in a daze.
Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would still be unable to imagine that these seven gatekeepers, who exuded an extraordinary aura, were killed by Moyu as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
But Moyu didn't want to wait for them to recover naturally, and called them to leave quickly.
If the situation allowed, he would not want to kill the gatekeeper at all.
Even if "perception" gave him a generous reward after the battle, he would not use it to hunt down the gatekeeper.
Because in his opinion, no matter what the purpose of the gatekeeper is to block the passage between the Dark Continent and the Six Continents, it is a good thing for the entire human race.
Therefore, without the existence of the gatekeeper, Lake Mobius, where the six continents are located, may become the next habitat for the creatures of the Dark Continent in a short period of time.
on the other hand.
Moyo hopes these corpses will serve as a warning to the gatekeepers.
Leaving the gatekeeper's body behind, the team continues to move forward.
Several days passed after that.
The sun was high in the wasteland, and the temperature was so high that the corpses of the gatekeepers scattered on the ground showed no signs of decay.
rustle--
There was a sound of slight footsteps in the distance.
A short figure slowly came to the body of the gatekeeper.
This figure is a very old human being with a stooped body and a face like withered tree bark.
If Moyu were present, he would definitely be able to find similarities between this human's facial features and those of Jie Nuo, the Hakka family.
This human being——
But it was Jaeger, the enemy fighter who teamed up with Nitro Linnie to challenge the Dark Continent in his early years.
He lowered his head and looked carefully at the scattered corpse of the gatekeeper with his cloudy eyes. A strange expression that seemed to be half-smiling, half-smiling, half-crying slowly appeared on his withered and bark-like face.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Jaeger murmured to himself.
the other side.
After spending about a week, Moyu and others finally walked out of the wasteland.
After that, Moyu quickly became certain of one thing.
