Li Zheng felt a little unbalanced. Why was he almost killed by the Black Dragon Spear when he was recognized as the owner, but Xiao Xiao could just reach out and take it away?
Why?
Is it because of race?
He pondered in his mind: "If Black Dragon Spear recognizes Xiao because he recognizes his race, then it can be explained. It's just that he doesn't know which race he belongs to. When he first met him, his strength was too low, and Lao Pu failed to detect it.
Come out and try it next time."
Seeing how weak he was, Zi Yuan hurriedly urged: "I suggest you go back to your room and rest first. When the senior brother comes back, I will help you ask what happened just now. The Black Dragon Spear is a work made by him. The process of recognizing the owner is
He should be the clearest about everything that happened."
"Yes." Li Zheng nodded and said to Miriel: "Help me go back."
Miriel responded and took him back to the room.
Putting out the bed, Li Zheng lay on it and sighed: "I originally wanted to go to a sparring martial arts gym to practice my moves, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."
"You are already very strong now. Even the top master of the Abyss tribe may not be able to beat you, so why bother trying so hard?" Miriel sat by the bed and looked at him.
"You don't understand." Li Zheng sighed: "You have been following me for a while, and you should have heard about the crisis of the Seven Sin Realms and the Emotional Storm. This kind of disaster that has destroyed countless civilizations always makes me feel uneasy.
There is a feeling that no matter how strong you are, you can’t get through it.”
Miriel pondered: "If we can't defeat it, can't the outer city still accommodate a lot of people? It's pretty good for us to live in the outer city, right?"
"Ha." Li Zheng smiled bitterly: "Didn't the Queen tell you that when the Abyss clan entered the matrix, all the old and young were screened out?"
Li Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "If we only think about hiding in the outer city and surviving without trying our best to improve ourselves, when the final battle comes, what will happen to those family members who have not been able to enter the outer city? Are we going to watch them die?"
Miriel was stunned: "But among the people I have come into contact with, it seems that I have never seen anyone who never forgets his family. Especially the tens of thousands of people you killed today, if any of them miss their family, in this life
When they start targeting your legion, they should think it over carefully and carefully, right?"
After all, Miriel can still imagine things like settling accounts after the fall. If the Qidian Legion is not defeated at once, as long as there is one survivor left, even if there is no so-called final crisis in the end, aren't those people afraid that their families will be implicated?
"Perhaps...it's because they don't know enough about everything that will happen in the future that they are deceived." Li Zheng looked at the ceiling and said softly: "Before I knew the existence of emotional storms, I thought that I would have to be there in this life.
After spending time in the Matrix, how could we have thought that as long as the emotional storm was resolved, we would still have the possibility to return to our hometown?
No……"
He suddenly felt a little lonely: "Aqua Blue Planet is their hometown, and I... I am a wanderer from another universe. My hometown is not here."
"Moreover, most players may not even know the existence of emotional storms, and are still worried about daily exploration. With a powerful legion to back them up, at least they will have the safety guarantee for normal exploration."
If you encounter an enemy that is too powerful and you know that you cannot defeat it, you can also ask for help in the legion and drag others to rescue you.
And this kind of back-up guarantee can only be enjoyed if they follow the orders of the top leaders of the legion.
Li Zheng also knew that most of the tens of thousands of people he killed were probably innocent players and did not participate in the crusade against Qidian, but so what?
Since they chose to join those legions, they should have thought that this day would come.
Li Zheng was also prepared for this.
If one day, he encounters a strong enemy that he cannot fight against and is killed.
He also has no regrets.
The moment he woke up from the matrix, he may not have had such an awakening, but after meeting the Wuji Transformers for the first time and experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he figured it out.
Miriel comforted him: "Don't think so much, maybe we can find a way home one day in the future?"
"future……"
A trace of confusion flashed in Li Zheng's eyes. He had memories from before his body traveled through time, and had a strong yearning to return to Earth.
However, I don’t know how many years have passed since I traveled here. If I could return in the future, I don’t know what the earth would have become like.
For a moment, he was at a loss, fearing that when he returned he would find that the earth was gone...
Or maybe the civilization on earth has changed. These are all uncertain things.
"Wait!" Li Zheng suddenly reacted: "What do you mean we? Do you also want to follow me back to Earth?"
Miriel's beautiful eyes were full of smiles: "Yes, I really want to see what a place that can raise such an outstanding person like you is like."
"Excellent...excellent?" Li Zheng was a little ashamed: "How am I considered outstanding...Compared with the great people in my hometown, I am nothing worth mentioning."
"Oh?" Miriel put her finger on her chin with a longing look on her face: "Then I want to see it even more."
Li Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Leaving aside whether you can return to Earth, don't you want to follow the Queen back to the ancestral land of your Abyss Tribe?"
"The ancestral land..." Miriel pondered for a moment: "To be honest, I don't really want to go. I heard from my mother that the environment of the Abyssal Tribe's ancestral land is actually very ordinary. There are volcanoes and magma everywhere, and even the plants are...
It's black, and it makes me feel ugly just thinking about it. I still prefer a colorful world, and it doesn't matter whether I can return to my ancestral home or not."
"Okay." Li Zheng thought about it and nodded.
According to legend, demons live in the abyss and never see the light of day. The world is always dominated by dark colors. It seems that there is really nothing to worry about.
Moreover, all members of the Abyss tribe who failed to enter the Matrix should be dead. It is impossible to see those family members if they go back, and there is no point in going back.
"That's right." Thinking about the devil, Li Zheng said: "Actually, there are legends about devils in our hometown. I used to think that those were just the fantasies of some people's dreams. Now that I think about it carefully, maybe those people don't know how to pass by.
I have come into contact with your clan through some means, but I can’t be sure of its authenticity, so I recorded it as a fantasy biography or something like that.”
"Eh?" Miriel looked up at him and said excitedly: "Really? So what do we, the abyssal demon clan, look like in your legend?"
"Uh..." Li Zheng's expression froze: "Well... it's a bit embarrassing, because the reputation of demons in our place is not very good, and they are basically the same as villains."
"Villain?" Miriel was not disappointed, but asked more excitedly: "Is he the kind of villain who is determined to destroy the world?"
Li Zheng tilted his head and thought about it carefully: "They are almost the same. They are basically ugly demons with red skin. They have horns on their heads and a pair of bat-like wings on their backs. They can spit fire from their mouths and feed on human children."
"Well, this image is a bit similar to the Great Demon." Mireel put his finger on his chin and recalled: "The Great Demon is a notoriously bad-tempered person among the Abyss tribe. He will fight with people if he disagrees with him. It's true.
They are not very popular with others. Especially among the great demon clan, there is a branch called violent violent demons. Even if no one provokes them, they are always looking for a fight."
"A violent and violent demon...is this what it looks like?" Li Zheng roared, his body twisted and transformed into an ugly demon, with muscles all over his body bulging high, full of a sense of power.
"Oh, yes, yes! That's what it looks like!" Miriel covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's so ugly. What the succubus don't like the most is the big devil. They are all violent."
As she said that, she suddenly froze, pointed at Li Zheng, and opened her mouth slightly: "You...you...oh, you are so embarrassed!"
She covered her face and ran to the eggshell bed, diving into the quilt.
"ha?"
Li Zheng was stunned. I just turned into a violent and violent demon. What was your reaction?
He looked down and found that the waistband of his trousers had been stretched open due to his transformation, and there was something uglier lying there, poking its head, as if it wanted to come out for some air.
"..." Li Zheng pulled the thing out, with a confused look on his face: "Isn't this the unique tail of your demon clan? I remember you have one too?"
Yes, what Li Zheng is holding is indeed the tail that grew out of the violent demon queen.
Different from the succubus tribe's tail that has a triangular tip, the violent violent demon's tail is uglier, bare, like a big mouse's tail, with a few sparse tufts of gray and black hair growing on it.
"Eh?" Miriel took his head out from under the quilt: "Is it the tail?"
Li Zheng shook his tail and said, "Yes, otherwise what did you think it was?"
"Ha...haha..." Miriel laughed awkwardly: "I thought it was a tail too."
Li Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, canceled the transformation, retracted his tail, and disappeared: "In our hometown, demons will lure others to fall, and those who fall have a chance of gaining the ability to transform into demons.
I originally absorbed this ability from the essence and blood of a violent demon. Now that I think about it, the legend may be true, but the demon gave the essence and blood to those fallen ones, so that they have the same transformation ability."
"Hmm... This seems to be the unique ability of the original great demon. However, there are too many races born after the original great demon hybridized with demons of other races. Some of them also have similar abilities. The violent violent demon you met may be
One of them," Miriel speculated.
Li Zheng thought about it carefully and felt that it was not necessarily true: "You should have seen Fengshan's fighting state before. Most of his abilities are abyss-type transformations, but each transformation is a partial change. For example, he can
Turn your arms into pig demon hooves or something.”
"Regional transformation?" Miriel shook his head: "Then I have never heard of any race that has such an ability. It should not be an orthodox abyss-based ability. It may be caused by the special rules in the matrix."
"It's possible." Li Zheng thought this statement was more reliable. "There's also a possibility that the terminal stimulated the blood of those Abyssal people, resulting in varying degrees of atavism. It's just that the atavism was not thorough enough, or because the bloodline was relatively thin.
, was unable to achieve the overall transformation, so it evolved into the partial transformation form like Fengshan?"
"I don't know much about this." Miriel said: "But your statement seems more reasonable and more likely to be realized. Forget it, don't talk about these topics that I don't understand. You can tell me about it again.
, what other characteristics do the demons in your hometown legend have?"
She seemed to be particularly curious about this aspect. She jumped down from the eggshell bed and ran to sit next to Li Zheng. Seeing that he was a little tired, she reached out and touched his head.
Li Zheng didn't stop him this time, because Miriel's massage was just right, and his slightly tired spirit did ease a little.
Simply, he asked Mireel to sit on the bedside and put his head on Mireel's lap, which made it easier to hold him down.
"Except for what I just said, the biggest characteristic of the legendary devil is to confuse people's hearts." Li Zheng closed his eyes comfortably and said slowly while enjoying Miriel's massage: "And the devil's most common method of bewitching people's hearts is,
It’s the use of so-called wish fulfillment.”
"Fulfill other people's wishes?" Miriel said: "This is impossible. I have never heard of any abyssal demon clan having such an ability. They must all be lies!"
"It's just a lie." Li Zhengzheng said with a smile: "In fact, there are only a few kinds of biggest desires in people's hearts, either to have strong power, to have more wealth, or to be greedy for beauty and power. For the devil,
Say, isn’t it easy to fulfill these wishes?”
"That's true." Miriel nodded and asked: "Now it's all about the legends about the great devil, aren't there any rumors about our succubus clan in your hometown?"
Li Zheng opened his eyes, and Mireel lowered his head to look at him across the peak. He shifted his gaze awkwardly and avoided answering: "Maybe there is, but I haven't heard of it."
His expression and actions were obviously lying. How could Miriel not see it?
She was very smart and did not ask. Instead, she sighed quietly: "If we really have the ability to fulfill other people's wishes as you said, I will make a wish to let you return to your hometown smoothly."
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, how can such a thing be achieved by making a wish..." Li Zheng laughed and shook his head. Suddenly his expression changed. He thought of something. He penetrated the capsule residence with his mind and took it out.
A few inconspicuous stone fragments.
Wishing stone fragments!
What Li Zheng took out of the treasure chest after entering the outer city a few days ago.
At first there was only one, but in the next two days I got lucky and opened two super-god-level treasure chests, which were Bodhi tree seeds and marrow-cleansing pills.
Later, on the way to Block 7 with Zhan Zhouzhou, he opened several low-level treasure chests, all of which contained wishing stone fragments.
However, the number of fragments varies depending on the level of the treasure chest.
At this time, he had accumulated seven wishing stone fragments, but there was still no change.
"What is this?" Miriel glanced at it and asked curiously.
Li Zheng did not tell her, but asked instead: "Do you think there is something in this world that can really fulfill all wishes?"
"Probably...no." Miriel thought for a while and added: "If there is, there will definitely be a big price to pay."
Cost?
Li Zheng looked at the fragments of the wishing stone in his hand and was in a daze.
He remembered that when he first obtained the fragments, Lao Pu had given a similar warning message, telling him not to think of using the wishing stone to calm emotional storms, as it would kill him.
It shows that the wishing stone can calm emotional storms, but he only needs to pay for it with his own life.
So……
If your wish is to return to Earth, what price will it cost?
For some reason, he had a strong intuition that the wishing stone could really fulfill his wish, but the price needed to be paid was also extremely harsh.
Li Zheng asked Lao Pu in his mind: "How many wishing stone fragments are needed to synthesize a complete wishing stone?"
【Unclear.】
Three words appeared in front of his eyes. Lao Pu seemed to be worried about something and did not dare to give an accurate answer.
Li Zheng frowned. If there was anything that could directly affect the Eye of Preles, with his current strength, perhaps only the treasure box system could do it.
In other words, the treasure chest system limits the Eye of Prells and prevents it from telling you the answers related to the wishing stone.
Li Zheng is not sure whether this situation is because the treasure box system also has "consciousness" or some kind of "program"-like setting, but...
There must be a secret behind the treasure box system, this golden finger that you carry when you travel through the terminal, that even the terminal is not aware of!
Maybe the time travel event itself is a conspiracy?
As Li Zheng thought, he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. Even the black hair on his back trembled slightly and twisted uneasily.
"What's wrong with you?" Miriel noticed something unusual, turned around to look around, and frowned: "Why do I feel like something is peeking in here?"
"Illusion! Don't think too much!" Li Zheng suppressed his thoughts and made himself forget everything just now, not daring to think deeply.
He always feels that if he digs deeper, something unpredictable may happen, and it is definitely no less threatening than the so-called emotional storm!
This was the first time he began to question the existence of the treasure chest system for some ulterior purpose.
When he suppressed his thoughts, the panic disappeared instantly, and the black hair formed by the collection of resentment behind him also became quiet, as if everything that just happened was really an illusion.
"Huh?" Miriel's expression moved slightly: "Has the feeling of peeping disappeared?"
"I told you it was an illusion." Li Zheng said with a solemn expression, "I must be too tired today, so I should go to bed early."
"Yes, I understand." Miriel nodded, said no more, and quietly massaged Li Zheng.
Li Zheng really wanted to ask Lao Pu what happened just now, but the Eye of Prells would definitely not tell the truth, so asking would be in vain.
The puzzle behind the system is different from the matrix. I can't get any help from the Eye of Prells. I can only try to solve it myself.
It’s just that this day may come very early or very late.
Li Zheng didn't know if anything unpredictable would happen during this period. Now he was a little afraid to even open the treasure chest that he had been looking forward to in the past.
After pondering for a long time, he took the wishing stone fragments back to the capsule residence and thought in his mind: "No matter what conspiracy there is, don't give up the benefits brought to your door. If I am being used, the contents of these treasure boxes will be regarded as rewards."
The treasure chest must continue to be opened. This is the basis for him to quickly improve his strength. It would be silly to not want a treasure chest from now on just because of what happened just now.
Working for a capitalist and getting paid every month, doesn’t rejecting the treasure chest mean rejecting the salary?
"By the way, there's something I don't know whether I should say." Miriel's massage action suddenly paused, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
She wanted Li Zheng to help solve the succubi's frequent mood swings as an adult. If she had to choose a target to help her, she felt that Li Zheng was a good candidate.
"Since you don't know whether you should say it or not, then don't say it." Li Zheng said lightly: "Generally, if you start a sentence with this pattern, it's definitely not good!"
"..." Miriel was stunned for a while, and the force of the massage increased a lot, as if he wanted to crush Li Zheng's head.
