"careful."
Realizing that there was something strange in the fragments, Xu Shi subconsciously pulled Xie Qingyan back a step.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind her. The dog woman herself was also alert - after all, she was not really a love-minded little girl, so she wouldn't be unable to walk after seeing the beautiful scenery.
The ones who can't really walk are the creatures living in Poseidon's body. Seeing this little bit of starlight falling, the swimming fish immediately formed a queue like a conditioned reflex and began to swim. The seaweed and corals that could not move also seemed to dance in the wind. Swinging the body.
The starlight did not gradually disappear, but slowly gathered together like a magnetic piece, forming a smooth ball, suspended in this huge space.
"What kind of ore is this?"
Xie Qingyan blinked, and his fascination turned into curiosity, "But it doesn't look like it...this sphere doesn't even have an entity."
Anyway, she could clearly see that when the fragments came together just now, they passed directly through the school of fish.
However, the "rust mist" energy contained in the fragments was extremely large. As an S-class "upgraded", when she calmed down and felt it, she would actually feel a sense of awe due to her own insignificance.
This has nothing to do with her character, it is simply a subconscious and instinctive reaction of a weak person when facing a strong person. It belongs to the basic law of the jungle.
"Certainly not."
Xu Shi also had the same feeling, which gave him a rough judgment, "I feel that this is more like..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the ball change again.
The ball that had stabilized suddenly shrank inward as if taking a deep breath, and then exploded silently. However, it did not turn into starlight again, but was wrapped in brilliant colored light, causing ripples.
The shock wave came so fast that I didn't even have time to react before I could already feel a warm current flowing through my body.
This feeling is not bad, on the contrary, it is like a spa, soft and comfortable.
He could even feel that the injuries he suffered from the previous impact had recovered to a certain extent. This was much more effective than Xie Qingyan's medicine, and it only took a few seconds.
Um……
Naturally, the fiancée also felt all this, and recovering from her injuries was simply the best thing at this moment, but her first reaction was to care about Xu Shi's condition, "How are you?"
This is not something to be taken lightly. Just because she regained her health doesn't mean that Xu Shi will do the same.
Xu Shi waved his hand to indicate that she was fine, "I'm fine."
"It's okay."
Xie Qingyan felt relieved and asked in relief, "So you just said, what does this ball look like?"
"...It's more like a manifestation of the energy of "Rust Mist", isn't it? "
Xu Shi calmed his breathing and continued the analysis just now, "Or, don't you think this looks like some organ of Poseidon?"
"Like...heart?"
The fiancée instantly showed a look of surprise.
This statement is quite appropriate, because these ripples are completely different from the previous spikes. At least they are not hostile, but more like an internal circulation of this small ecological circle.
Because the fish and plants here have also obtained nutrients from it, they have become more energetic visibly to the naked eye, and the scales on their bodies have become smoother.
"Originally I was just guessing, but after feeling that the ripples seemed to be actively nurturing us, I became more certain."
Xu Shi continued, "This may be the reason why Poseidon can still maintain vitality after being besieged for so long."
After all, these ripples mainly feed the surrounding flesh walls, which is Poseidon himself. It can be easily seen from the excited squirming.
Those fish schools are just incidental. If you think about it carefully, Poseidon has been around for so long. They may not be the only ones who survived after being swallowed. There will always be fish that slip through the net more or less.
Of course Poseidon will not pay special attention to them. How much nutrients can these things take away? Over time, such a unique ecosystem has been formed.
And Xu Shi and his party, who came here by accident, were tacitly allowed to be part of the ecological circle and enjoy such benefits.
"What the hell is this..."
Xie Qingyan sighed with emotion. She could only say that the appearance of Poseidon refreshed many of her perceptions. The most intuitive feeling is that this thing does not look like a creature at all. Whether it is appearance, strength or internal circulation, at least it is not like what she has seen. anything ever.
"Who knows? Maybe this was just a small tentacle monster in the sea, and it became the ancient god-like existence it is today through various coincidences."
Xu Shi looked relaxed. He was not engaged in scientific research anyway, so naturally he was too lazy to think about it in depth.
But some things are obvious, like the source of Poseidon's energy.
Now it seems that this thing should have the means to extract and transform the energy of "rust mist" in seawater, so that it can continuously carry out such a cycle of polymerization and explosion. Instead of devouring marine life, it is leisure entertainment, and it is mostly just following the instinct of living things. That’s all.
No wonder its blood is so thick - the constant flow of sea water means that Poseidon's blood packs are far from endless. Just one cycle can restore so much. In this state, even if it cuts off a thousand or ten thousand tentacles, it will still be full of blood. What is the use? The call was not as fast as the others.
I still underestimated my opponent a little bit... Xu Shi patted his head with a little annoyance. It is easy to become conceited if things go too smoothly.
But he soon let go. Is there any point in regretting this? Take it as it comes, and think about what to do next is the most important thing.
"Let's act quickly."
Thinking of this, his attitude became more serious, "If we keep dragging it on like this, not only us, but also the people outside will be dragged to death."
"What are you going to do?"
Xie Qingyan agreed very much and asked him calmly about his plan.
"The answer is written on the riddle, isn't it?"
Xu Shi smiled, "Since Poseidon relies on this method to recover, let's cut it off from the root."
"you want……"
The dog woman was not a fool and instantly understood what he meant.
He wants to destroy the heart of Poseidon!
"Don't you think it's cool?"
Xu Shi smiled and nodded, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, "This may be the only way to get out. Of course, it's not that easy."
Destroying the Heart of Poseidon is easy to say but extremely difficult to do.
First of all, this thing has no entity. As mentioned before, it is a manifestation of too strong and concrete energy. The only chance is only the few seconds when the fragments aggregate into a ball in each cycle. If you miss it, you will miss it. No target can be found.
Secondly, although there are countless such cycles, there is only one chance to take action. Who knows if a missed hit will trigger some protective mechanism, and then you will be able to walk around without being able to eat.
Finally, we have to consider the aftermath. Such behavior is equivalent to hitting a bomb with a hammer. Once an energy ball of such concentration is detonated by abnormal means, it is self-evident how terrifying the energy dump will be.
In other words, it’s a way out, but it’s also likely to be a dead end.
"You might die, are you afraid?"
Realizing this, he took a deep breath, looked at Xie Qingyan and asked.
"It sounds good if I can die with you."
The dog woman smiled back and answered simply.
She was even a little proud, "I even feel a little excited. Those little guys around you have been pestering you for so long. Isn't it me who finally enjoys this treatment? Get out of here!"
It was a normal smile, but it seemed a bit strange when used with such words. It even gave people the feeling of being arrogant and mutated, becoming a yandere...
But when he heard her say this, the smile on Xu Shi's face became stronger. At first glance, the two of them were standing face to face, giving people the feeling of looking into a mirror.
Yes, none of them are afraid of death, or in other words, they all understand that they would rather be beaten to death than killed by a bear.
To put it more elegantly, people can be destroyed, but not defeated.
Anyway, Xu Shi is not afraid. If only he had such a character and turned a deaf ear to the existence of "Heavenly Law" when he knew it, and chose to shrink back, instead of exploring the wider world like now and trying his best to find out what is hidden behind the scenes. the truth.
"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask her."
Xie Qingyan was very pleased that Xu Shi had the same idea as him, and happily pointed at Shen Qin beside him, "If you decide to do this, she will be the key to the execution, right?"
This is true, it is said that it is like using a hammer to smash bombs, but neither Xu Shi nor Xie Qingyan is actually qualified to be the hammer. Only Shen Qin can do such things that require the use of force.
Thinking of this, Xu Shi suddenly felt a little lucky. The tree you sow will bear fruit. If he had not implanted instructions into Shen Qin at that time, but had used other means, I am afraid that only he and Xie Qingyan would be trapped here now. That is truly a dead end.
So, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will indeed be rewarded... Oh, was I planning to punish her severely? That's okay.
Xu Shi smiled in his heart, then looked at Miss Shen Qin meaningfully and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep. Get up. What do you think of this plan?"
After hearing this, Shen Qin, who was leaning aside with his eyes closed, reluctantly opened his eyes.
In fact, she didn't need to rest at all. With the blessing of her self-healing ability, Shen Qin's physical fitness was not affected at all. She just looked a little miserable. Her battle clothes were in tatters, and she could see a large amount of white snow without too much effort. ——In addition to the spikes, a lot of corrosive mucus fell out just now, and she had to resist these... She can heal herself, but her clothes can't, and there are no new clothes for her to change here.
But this does not mean that she is in good spirits. On the contrary, she looks very haggard now.
This is inevitable. Every time the command to "protect Xu Shi" takes effect, she will be invaded by the pleasure brought by dopamine. She will repeat it at least twenty or thirty times along the way... so frequently in a short period of time. Repeatedly, she has a very strong psychological quality before she is broken.
But she was inevitably a little numb, so when faced with Xu Shi's questions, she just nodded numbly, "Why ask me what my attitude is? What does it matter if I object?"
It was nothing more than being forced to carry out it by him. She already knew the other party's methods clearly.
"Not necessarily."
But unexpectedly, Xu Shi changed the subject and shook his finger seriously, "I choose to respect you this time. If you don't want to, then we will die here together."
? !
Shen Qin wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. Is this what he could say?
However, after repeatedly confirming that this was indeed the case, she suddenly realized that it was really... As the main attacker to blast the Heart of Poseidon, before doing this, it had nothing to do with Xu Shi's personal safety, because it was very safe here, unlike The previous tentacle road was still full of dangers.
Xu Shi's attempt to force her was of no use. All he knew was to adjust his sensitivity and then do whatever he wanted. This was not to say that it had no effect, but in the current situation, it was not appropriate to say anything.
In other words, if she stubbornly refuses this time, Xu Shi really can't do anything to her.
As for the consequences, it is indeed as Xu Shi said, everyone will be consumed here together, and they will be consumed to death in the lowest method - the three of them are all high-level "upgraded ones", but "upgraded ones" "If you are not a god, you have to eat, right?" You have to drink water, right? After all, we cannot escape from these most basic needs.
But it's a pity that none of them have supplies with them, and Poseidon doesn't have these things in his body - are you going to eat sea fish or drink mucus? Or take a bite towards the meat wall? If these things really enter the mouth, they may mutate into monsters even if they don't die.
After sorting out these facts, she suddenly sat up and noticed an overlooked fact.
This seems... to be a rare opportunity that can kill Xu Shi?
In other words, it's a one-for-one exchange. Xie Qingyan doesn't consider it at all... But if Xu Shi dies, she won't be able to get out alive. Everyone's situation is equally bad, and she can't kill Xu Shi first and then defeat the Poseidon herself. The self-healing ability of the heart can repair wounds. What is not eaten in the stomach cannot be transformed into food. Starving to death together is the final development.
But this is not a problem for Shen Qin. She has been living for a long time and no longer takes her own life seriously - the fact is that her attitude has always been gloomy. It would be best if she could fight Xu Shi. If not, then it is better to end it on your own and avoid being tortured by this demon.
It's a pity that she can't do any of it. Sometimes there are forced instructions to prevent her from committing suicide. This even makes her feel that her self-healing ability is a burden, and even the right to die in battle has been deprived of her.
And now...
Thinking of this, she suddenly sneered, "You shouldn't be so confident, Xu Shi."
If the other party didn't tell her, she might have done it in a daze, but now that she knew the ending, she gave the answer without thinking at all.
Let's die together!
"So you don't agree?"
Xu Shi nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated her answer.
"certainly."
Shen Qin gritted his teeth and said, looking forward to seeing the other party's reaction.
"Well, okay then."
Xu Shi's expression was as usual, calm and a little playful, "I'm just curious, why do you want to die with me? Do you hate me?"
"What do you think?!"
Miss Shen Qin didn't want to answer his knowing questions at all, she opened her eyes and said fiercely.
"What's the reason?"
Xu Shi asked again.
"Do you even need to ask?"
Shen Qin narrowed his eyes. Didn't this guy just want him to say it again to disgust himself?
Anyway, she had already made up her mind to die together, so she didn't mind satisfying the other person's bad taste. She smiled softly and said, "Of course because..."
She should have blurted out the reason, but she got stuck as soon as she started.
Is it because...what?
She just felt that her mind went blank, and she couldn't remember why she hated Xu Shi so much.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shi not only raised the corners of his mouth.
It seemed that the journey in Poseidon's body was far more rewarding than I imagined.
Well, I also said that I made 10,000 per day today, but it failed again. I can only say that I have been in poor condition recently, both on and off the field... I was a bit procrastinating, but I also encountered some things in my life, which made me cry.
No, I will force myself to do it tomorrow, and I will keep my word on the 10,000-word update.
After this part is written, there may also be a short summary to talk about the next things.
By the way, Good Brother's book is on the shelves today. You can support it by ordering it for the first time. I pushed it before, but later the title was changed to "This Fox Fairy Is Not Human". It is relaxing and entertaining for the wicked. It is worth a read. The link is below.
