Outside Skull Mountain.
Three figures walked through the grass one after another and quickly approached the foot of the mountain.
"This guy is really rich..."
Mu You looked at the fleeing Z-world walker in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.
Just now, he and Shadow Wolf had tortured this guy in various ways, but this guy was like a treasure chest connected to Doraemon. Whenever they were about to subdue him, he would always throw out some inexplicable tricks. Toys include but are not limited to scrolls, potions, props, and occasionally a few summoned creatures.
Although they are basically disposable props, they are not weak in power, and many of them have control effects. Mu You and Shadow Wolf occasionally have to stop to avoid the edge.
In addition, the two of them had to watch over each other at all times to prevent the other from doing something that could easily lead to suicide, such as flying directly up to a height of 100 meters and being strangled by the air flow in the space. Therefore, they had to be on guard at all times, which led to chasing and fighting. Fighting, until we got here, we still didn't find a chance to subdue the opponent.
Just when the three of them arrived a few hundred meters in front of Skull Mountain, they saw the clouds and mist in front of them suddenly rolling, and there was a faint crashing sound coming from the mist. It was obvious that someone was approaching them.
Z World Walker's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found his savior, he hurriedly threw a scroll backwards, and then quickly ran forward amidst the violent magnetic storm.
"Hongxiu, it must be Hongxiu, it must be Hongxiu..."
Worldwalker Z seemed to be chanting a prayer.
Before reaching the fog layer, the figure in the fog just broke out of the fog.
The person who came was wearing a familiar red robe. Although I don’t know why half of his face was tied with a piece of coarse cloth on his head, it was obviously Hong Xiu!
The Z-level traveler was immediately overjoyed.
Sure enough, it was Hong Xiu who got the inheritance. Now at least he had a chance to fight back!
However, before he could ask for help, he saw Hongxiu running toward him in a panic. As soon as he saw him, he immediately shouted: "Brother Nan, run!"
"Um?"
Z Realm Walker was stunned. He really didn't expect that Hongxiu's first words were to tell him to run away... Could it be that she didn't get the Death inheritance?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a deep roar coming from behind, and then the ground began to tremble, like some kind of prehistoric beast coming out of the fog.
Soon, a huge figure appeared from the fog: a skeleton giant nearly twenty meters tall, using the blue energy as 'flesh and blood', they jointly built a giant's body, holding a sickle, and pointed directly at the two of them. Come quickly.
Z World Walker immediately understood what was going on: Hongxiu really failed to get the inheritance, or in other words, she only got a small part. He had already noticed the giant's missing left arm.
"...Xiaoxue?"
Mu You and Shadow Wolf also arrived nearby at this time, looking at the giant figure in the distance with some shock.
The person wrapped in the center of the giant at this time was obviously Lin Xue, but when Mu You saw Lin Xue's appearance clearly, he immediately noticed something strange.
"What's wrong with her eyes?"
"Hongxiu, quickly, kill me!"
On the other side, after confirming the current situation, Z World Walker hurriedly looked at Hongxiu and quickly made this request.
Not even getting the Death God inheritance, now there is no possibility for them to fight head-on. The only hope is to let him regain the ability to stop time, so that they can have a chance to escape intact.
"What?"
Hongxiu was still a little confused about the situation, and was confused when she suddenly heard this request.
"Kill me, don't you understand this?"
Z Realm Walker really hates iron for not becoming steel at this time, and wants to explain clearly as quickly as possible, but there is no time.
As a strong pressure swept over them, the giant in front had already raised the sickle in his hand and slashed towards their position.
"Brother Nan, run!"
Hong Xiu subconsciously pushed the Z World Walker away, and then hurriedly raised his arm. The shadow of the giant arm quickly appeared on his arm, and collided with the giant hand attacking from above.
Although the two giant arms were separated from the same body, the difference in size was huge after all. When the two collided, it was like an egg striking a stone. The giant remained motionless, while Hongxiu was blown away far away.
When Mu You and Shadow Wolf saw the fight, they immediately wanted to go over to help, but were stopped by Vivian.
"She is not stable yet. You will only influence her in the past and let her do it on her own."
The two looked at each other and had to stop again.
On the other side, when Z Realm Walker got up from the ground, he suddenly felt a strong pressure covering his body, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Turning around mechanically, he saw that the giant's eyes had indeed been completely locked on him, and he was walking towards him step by step.
"Oops……"
Alarm bells rang loudly in Z Realm Walker's heart. He was not afraid of death now. He was not afraid of ordinary things no matter how strong they were.
However, the death inheritance is not in the 'ordinary' category, because this thing can directly harvest souls...
Once the soul dies, he will have no chance to be resurrected, let alone regain the ability to stop time.
Z World Walker hurriedly took out all the offensive props he could find on his body and threw them backwards. Then he turned around and fled quickly without looking at anything else.
A series of bombing sounds continued behind him, but these props hit the skeleton giant, just like tickling it, causing no shock or stopping it even for a second.
Z Realm Walker listened to the footsteps behind him getting further and further away, and suddenly knew that the other party had not fully mastered the use of the death inheritance, and the speed was much slower than expected. This was an opportunity!
However, just when he was dreaming of taking advantage of the speed difference to escape, a dull bell suddenly rang.
The sound of the bell seemed to come from the sky, and it also seemed to be exploding directly in his ears. With one sound, he was shaken to the point of dizziness, bleeding from all his orifices, and his feet felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire. He was swaying and it was extremely difficult to move.
What was even more terrifying was that at this time, arms and figures emerged from the ground around him. They were like evil ghosts emerging from hell, and they rushed toward him fiercely, attacking his body and limbs. , bite tightly, hug tightly.
"Get out of my way!"
Z Realm Walker used all four limbs and struggled desperately, but it was to no avail. Every time he kicked one away, more ghost servants immediately pounced on him.
Z Realm Walker was entangled in the same place until he could not move.
Behind him, the footsteps of the giant were slowly approaching. The Z-world traveler looked back in horror, and saw that the giant skeleton was indeed coming towards him, but what he was holding in his hand was not a sickle, but an ancient bell. Shadow.
Others didn't know what the bell was, but Mu You saw some clues through the omniscient crystal.
[Evil-Suppressing Death Knell: One of the props used by the legendary God of Death when hunting targets. When used on a target, it will have different suppressive effects based on the target's 'evil value'. The more evil the person does, the stronger the effect will be. It can be rung no more than once per day. 】
A death knell, according to the description, should be a prop of the same level as the death scythe. However, this prop cannot be used to attack, it can only be used to suppress, and the scope of use is also limited. It is a special attack against evil, which is specially used to deal with those who do evil things. .
For example, the Z world traveler in front of me obviously does countless evil things.
The ghost servants who appeared around him at this moment were each the embodiment of the people he had killed, which directly suppressed him to the point where he was completely unable to resist.
At this time, World Walker Z could only watch in despair as the Death Giant walked up to him step by step, raised his scythe, and passed over his head.
A blue soul was immediately taken out of his body, pulled by the tip of the knife, and sent into the mouth of the God of Death.
Like eating rice cakes, the Death Giant elongates the soul and swallows it bit by bit.
It was only when the Z World Walker's soul formed an extremely thin 'noodle' that no more could be pulled out, that the God of Death raised his sickle again, swiped across the root of the soul, and completely cut off the soul.
At the moment when the soul was broken, the ghost servants around Z Realm Walker immediately disappeared without a trace, and the empty shell body of Z Realm Walker was blown away by the air current caused by the movement of the giant, flying towards the distance like a kite with a broken string. When he was in mid-air, various items fell down like rain, and they didn't stop until Z Realm Walker completely fell to the ground.
And because the body of the Z World Walker has lost its soul, as soon as it hits the ground, the body begins to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But at this moment, Hong Xiu, who had just been smashed away, suddenly teleported and appeared next to the body of Z World Walker. He hurriedly used the giant hand on his right arm to wrap Z World Walker's body in energy. Only then did the corpse stop decaying, leaving at least one intact corpse.
Mu You didn't have time to care about her, but looked at Lin Xue's position on the other side with some strangeness.
Just after the Death Shadow swallowed the soul of World Walker Z, he started chewing it, but after chewing it for a long time, he still couldn't swallow it.
This situation is a bit strange. Before, the god of death devoured souls, whether it was a snow monster or a man in white, and they were all digested quickly. Is the soul of this Z world traveler so difficult to chew?
Just when Mu You was confused, the neck of the death shadow squirmed and finally swallowed the soul, but there was something left in its mouth, which was the culprit that made it impossible to swallow.
After trying to chew it for a few more seconds, it seemed that it felt like it was too harsh on the teeth. Death Shadow finally gave up and spat out the small thing forward like a peach kernel.
Mu You's eyes lit up. He didn't know what it was, but something that could make the God of Death bite his teeth was definitely not an ordinary thing. He immediately threw out his chain claw and hooked the thing over before it hit the ground.
When I get the stuff, it's cold.
Mu You picked it up and took a look and found that it was a hollow cube the size of a thumb. However, all the beams on the surface were covered with cracks and looked crumbling. Inside the cube, there was an even smaller crystal fragment embedded in it. .
Mu You had never seen this thing before, and instinctively wanted to use the omniscient crystal to check it out.
As a result, the omniscient crystal didn’t even return any results!
Mu You had no choice but to put it away first, then raised his head and looked forward.
On Lin Xue's side, after swallowing the soul of Z World Walker, the Death Shadow continued to walk in the direction of Hongxiu. Its harvesting operation was not over yet.
When Hongxiu saw the death giant approaching quickly, she didn't react at all. She still knelt on the ground and protected her husband's body with her arms.
It wasn't until the giant stopped in front of her that Hongxiu looked up.
Staring at Lin Xue hidden in the giant's body, Hongxiu's eyes held a hint of resentment, but more of them were numb.
After she was disfigured and her husband died in front of her, she was devastated.
So when she faced the death giant's raised fist, she didn't make any further struggle. Instead, she closed her eyes, seemingly ready to face death.
The god of death is ruthless and will not show mercy casually. The giant fist he raised continued to hit hard.
However, just when the giant fist was about to hit, Mu You suddenly felt a strange wave. His fist froze in mid-air, motionless. Not only that, everything around him, the grass and trees on the ground, the dust in the air, The energy that was originally rippling like waves on the Death God's body was all frozen at this moment.
"This is……"
Mu You was surprised. Could this effect mean that time stood still?
Mu You didn't know who started the time stop this time. The question was, after time stopped, he was still conscious?
Not only his consciousness, he even felt that his body could move freely!
Just when he was about to try to take a step forward, Vivian's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Don't move! Hold your breath and slow down your heartbeat as much as possible."
Mu You was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stopped his steps and did as she said.
At the same time, he suddenly saw Hong Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground in the distance, seemed to be moving, but it was not her who was moving, but her belly.
At a certain moment, something suddenly tore a hole from the inside of her bulging belly. Then two small hands came out and stretched the hole wide. A small head covered with mucus poked out of the hole.
The face of the seven-month-old baby is not even fully formed yet, but soon after it appears, the baby's face changes rapidly, and finally it condenses into an old face and opens its eyes.
After the doll head appeared, the originally motionless red sleeves suddenly started to move, but instead of standing up normally, they stood up from the ground like an unconscious zombie until they stood up, then bent down and dragged them up. He picked up the Z world walker's body on the ground, turned around, and walked away in the distance with zombie steps.
Not far in front of her, an oval-shaped teleportation port appeared at some point.
At this time, Vivian didn't say anything about taking action, and Mu You didn't dare to move. He could only watch the two of them step into the teleportation port until they disappeared.
And less than a few seconds after they disappeared, Mu You saw two floating shadows suddenly appearing out of thin air where Hong Xiu had just stayed.
There are some familiar figures with an upper body and a smoke-shaped lower body, holding a knife, fork and a giant axe.
After one of them appeared, it rushed straight towards the portal that had not yet disappeared.
The other one first turned around and looked around, scanning several people present one after another. After confirming that there was no problem, it followed the footsteps of the previous one and disappeared into the portal.
As the two strange creatures also left, the teleportation gate in the distance automatically shrank and disappeared, and time around them quietly resumed its flow.
"boom!"
The giant's fist struck in the distance, but naturally it hit nothing.
Mu You didn't have time to ask Vivian anything, because after Lin Xue's time stop ended, the shadow of death on her body quickly faded until it disappeared.
Lin Xue looked towards them, as if he wanted to come over, but just after taking two steps, one of them lost his footing, fell to the ground, and stopped moving.
Mu You and Shadow Wolf hurriedly ran to her, lifted her up, and checked her.
Fortunately, it looked like she just fainted from exhaustion and had no wounds on her body.
However, in the omniscient crystal, Mu You saw that Lin Xue's attributes at this time, except for agility, which was still in double digits, had all dropped to the lowest point, and after her name, there was also a "weak state" 'Tag of.
"What happened just now? Why did it suddenly turn on and then stop, and why did it stop when I seemed to be immune?"
After confirming that nothing happened to Lin Xue, Mu You had time to ask about the situation just now.
"Your immunity stopped temporarily because of what you just got." Vivian said.
"You mean this?"
Mu You hurriedly took out the hollow block he had just taken out, but when he took it out, he discovered that there seemed to be more cracks on the surface of the block.
"This shell is called a 'time sensor', and it is a prop specially used to immunize time and stop." Vivian said.
"So as long as I hold this, if anyone stops time in the future, I will follow him and enter Time Stop no matter where he is?" Mu You asked.
"Of course it's not that powerful. It's just a passive sensor. It only triggers when people are turning on or walking around you. This is the same as me," Vivian said.
"oh……"
Mu You understood immediately. Just like the Z Realm Walker, only when this guy pauses time near them can Vivian follow him into the Realm of Realm.
Otherwise, Z Realm Walker has stopped countless times in the Star Spirit Realm before. Wouldn't Vivian be forced to stop every time when entering?
It was the same just now, he could only see the scene of Shi Zhan when the baby and the two strange creatures were present. As soon as those people left, Shi Zhan ended immediately.
"This sensor is already damaged. The damaged time sensor will continue to collapse with the number of times it is turned on, until it is completely broken. You can't use this a few times."
Vivian glanced at the thing in his hand and continued: "What's really useful to you is what's inside the sensor."
"This fragment?"
"Yes, you take it out and try integrating it into your pocket watch." Vivian said.
Mu You immediately followed the instructions, held the cube, used a floating technique, and carefully moved the fragments out of the gaps little by little.
Then he took the pocket watch and brought the fragment close to it.
When the fragments came into contact with the surface of the pocket watch, there was a burst of light and it automatically merged into it.
Mu You hurriedly used the omniscient crystal to look at the pocket watch. At this time, the feedback information became:
[Time Pocket Watch: Press the pocket watch to go back ten seconds to the past, with a cooling time of ten seconds. 】
Mu You was surprised. Such a small piece of fragment actually doubled the function of the pocket watch!
If backtracking for five seconds becomes backtracking for ten seconds, much more operations can be completed.
Not to mention anything else, just for refining potions, the combination of the pocket watch and the Fool card can already extend a trace back to up to an hour, so that he can train some advanced potions with more complicated processes. !
"What exactly is this thing?" Mu You looked at Vivian hurriedly.
"Fragments of the Heart of Time." Vivian said.
"Where can I get the Heart of Time?" Mu You asked.
Something that could upgrade a pocket watch made him jealous.
Vivian gave him a strange look: "You don't have to think about this, unless you also want to be like the old man just now, being hunted endlessly by the time guardians."
"Old man? Time Guardian?"
Mu You was stunned.
The old man obviously refers to the strange baby that emerged from Hongxiu's belly just now, and the time guardians should be the two floating creatures just now.
It turns out that they are in a hunting relationship, so no wonder they appear one after another.
"Time guardians are regular creatures that guard the order of time. Anyone who stops time at will without permission will be hunted by them. But the old man made a bigger mistake. He directly stole the fragments of the Heart of Time, and even There may be more than one piece, so he will be hunted for eternity. As long as he dares to appear in any area of the real world, he will immediately attract the time guardians." Vivian said.
"Wait a minute, you said that people who stop time at will will be hunted down. Then why are Z world walkers not hunted down?" Mu You asked.
If it is a crime to pause time at will, then Z Realm Walker is definitely an outlaw. Entering the Zhi Realm is like going home, and pausing is called unscrupulous. As a result, no one came to control this guy.
"I don't know about this. Maybe there is something special about him."
Vivian shook her head: "This is probably why the old man chose him for training..."
