Seeing Abasha asking him to be the first, Xu Cheng did not refuse. He put Aying down on his back and let her stand by herself. Then he walked towards the stove and reached out to grab the red-hot iron ball. .
If most people dared to do this, their skin and flesh would stick to the iron ball and be burned into char, but in Xu Cheng's hands, not even his hair could be charred.
Xu Cheng put the iron ball in his hand and played with it for a few times, then opened his mouth and stuffed the iron ball into his mouth in full view of everyone.
"Zizzizi!"
The red-hot iron ball had just been stuffed into the mouth, and it reacted with the saliva, making a scalp-numbing sound.
The two lost men stared at this scene with wide eyes. They swallowed subconsciously and felt a phantom pain in their mouths.
However, Xu Cheng remained calm and even chewed the iron ball in his mouth, making a clicking sound, like eating rock candy.
After chewing the iron ball into pieces, he swallowed it in one gulp, swallowed it into his abdomen with a gulp sound, opened his mouth, and blew out a mouthful of black smoke.
The two lost people subconsciously raised their hands and touched their necks, breathing rapidly, as if they had swallowed an iron ball.
Xu Cheng picked up the iron ball on the stove again, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it into pieces, and then swallowed it.
He was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, he swallowed seven or eight iron balls.
Abasha's expression was strange. She could see the feeling of devouring food from Xu Cheng's movements.
It seemed that what he was eating was not a red-hot iron ball, but some kind of delicious food.
In the blink of an eye, ten iron balls the size of goose eggs had entered Xu Cheng's stomach, but his stomach did not rise at all.
After eating ten iron balls, Xu Cheng didn't even stop and continued to eat the iron balls on the stove.
This appearance even made others begin to wonder, is this iron ball really some kind of delicious food?
Seeing that Xu Cheng was about to eat up all the iron balls on the stove, Abasha couldn't help but remind her: "Save some for others."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
Xu Cheng put down the iron ball that was brought to his mouth, clapped his hands, and said to Abasha: "I haven't eaten in more than ten years. I accidentally ate too much. Thank you for your hospitality."
This is not a joke. Since entering the Green Sea, apart from occasionally drinking a little water, he has indeed not eaten anything for more than ten years.
With his physique, any steel he eats can be digested into iron and then absorbed, so there is no need to worry about diarrhea.
Hearing Xu Cheng's words, Abasha thought he was being angry with her, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
However, Xu Cheng did pass the test, which left Abasha speechless. She turned to look at the other two lost people: "What about you, do you want to eat?"
The two lost men looked hesitant, but they did not refuse.
The lost have been trapped in the Green Sea for many, many years. Unless they are extremely lucky, they can only pass the test and make a wish to the Goddess of Pain to send them out of this ghost place.
After finally encountering the pyramid of the Goddess of Pain, how could they give up so easily.
One of the lost men stepped forward bravely and grabbed the red-hot iron ball on the stove.
The iron ball burned his fingers, but he did not swallow it in a hurry, still showing hesitation.
No one urged him. After all, this was a torture comparable to that of Ling Chi, and swallowing it in one gulp would be life-threatening.
Finally, the lost man made up his mind, closed his eyes, opened his mouth, stuffed the red-hot iron ball into his mouth, and swallowed it hard.
The moment he swallowed it, he fell to the ground in pain, supporting the ground with his hands, and gasping like a broken bellows.
Xu Cheng could tell that the lost man's physique was unusual. The red-hot iron ball might not cause fatal damage to him, but the pain would be unbearable.
As long as you can bear it, this test will be no problem.
Sure enough, half a minute later, the lost man finally endured the pain and stood up sweating profusely.
He walked to the stove, picked up another iron ball and put it into his mouth, swallowing it hard.
It seemed that he knew that the pain would be even greater if he dragged it on, so he kept using his hands, stuffing each ball in and taking it out one by one. In the blink of an eye, he swallowed all ten iron balls into his stomach, stretching his whole stomach until it bulged. You can even vaguely see the shape of the iron ball.
After swallowing ten iron balls, the lost man sat down on the ground, covering his stomach with one hand and covering his mouth tightly with the other hand.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Soon, he coughed violently, spurting hot black blood from his mouth, and a large amount of black smoke came out between his breaths.
For an ordinary person, no amount of life would be enough to kill him in this situation, but this guy's vitality was still strong enough to endure it.
Then, everyone looked at the last lost person.
The other party used his saliva, but did not choose to give up. He walked straight up, grabbed an iron ball at an extremely fast speed, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it.
The moment he swallowed it, he screamed and fell to the ground. He covered his throat and stomach with his hands and rolled on the ground.
Soon, he could no longer make a sound because his vocal cords and throat had been burned. There was something wrong with the red-hot iron ball, which had a higher temperature than ordinary metal.
The lost man struggled and rolled on the ground, coughing out black and red blood from his mouth. Soon he lay motionless on the ground, losing the breath of life, and faint black smoke came out of his mouth and nostrils.
His stomach had been burned through, and his internal organs had suffered fatal burns. His life was easily taken away by a red-hot iron ball. It can only be said that he was not good at his own physique.
Eating randomly will eventually harm him.
Xu Cheng looked at Abasha: "Are there any other tests? Bring them up quickly."
His impatient tone made Abasha grit her teeth secretly.
But Abasha also knew that Xu Cheng could even swallow a red-hot iron ball without changing his expression. Ordinary tests had no effect on him and could not break his defense at all.
However, since the Goddess of Pain dares to build this pyramid, she must have two brushes and will not let people pass so easily.
So, Abasha smiled and said, "Of course, I will definitely satisfy you."
"Wait a moment."
Xu Cheng interrupted her: "Please tell me clearly first, how many more tests are needed to pass?"
He was not afraid, but worried that the woman in front of him was cheating. If she made a test ten thousand times, he would not have time to complete it.
"Don't worry, there is only one last test left. As long as you pass it, you can see the goddess."
Abasha took out a small bottle from her arms: "This is our ultimate test - the fountain of pain. As long as you drink it, you can experience all the pain in the world. The lasting effect is three hundred breaths. As long as you can If you stick to it, you win.”
"no problem."
Xu Cheng stretched out his hand towards Abasha: "Give it to me."
He may not be good at other things, but in terms of enduring pain, he is definitely the king at the top of the canyon.
"Don't worry..."
Abasha was not in a hurry to hand over the Fountain of Pain to Xu Cheng: "It was you first, now it's someone else's turn."
She walked up to the lost man who was still alive and handed him the Fountain of Pain: "Now it's your turn. Just take a sip. If you want to give up, it's too late now."
"I will not give up!"
A look of determination flashed in the eyes of the lost man. He had just endured the pain caused by swallowing the red iron ball alive before persisting to this last level. If he gave up now, wouldn't the pain he had endured before be in vain? .
He took the small bottle from Abasha's hand, opened the cap and took a sip.
Xu Cheng and Aying both watched intently, wanting to see what kind of pain this fountain of pain could bring.
The moment the lost man drank the fountain of pain, he fell on his back, rolling on the ground, and let out extremely shrill screams from his mouth. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain.
"When humans are in extreme pain, they will trigger their self-protection mechanism and make people pass out."
Abasha caught the small bottle thrown away by the lost man, and then admired his expression of extreme pain: "But the fountain of pain is different. It will disable the body's self-protection mechanism and even amplify the pain-sensing nerves." , so people who drink it will enjoy the most extreme pain in the world while being conscious."
Before Abasha finished speaking, the lost man who was screaming on the ground had stopped moving.
His bloodshot eyes widened to the limit, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, blood flowed from his facial features, and his fingers dug out bloody traces on the floor.
Xu Cheng frowned slightly: "Did he be poisoned?"
"No, he was pained to death forcibly. His brain couldn't bear the extreme pain."
Abasha picked up the small bottle containing the fountain of pain and asked Xu Cheng with a smile: "It's your turn next. Are you mentally prepared?"
Xu Cheng already understood that this guy deliberately asked the lost person to drink the fountain of pain first, just to give himself a chance and scare him with the lost person's death.
Suddenly, he felt a slight poke on his back, it was Aying's hand.
The two have been together for more than ten years and have developed a very high level of tacit understanding. Ah Ying didn't say anything, but just moved his fingers a little. Xu Cheng knew that he and she were worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it.
He turned back and gave Aying a look that said he didn't have to worry, and then stretched out his hand towards Abasha: "I just finished eating, so I'd like to rinse my mouth!"
Abasha smiled and handed the small bottle to Xu Cheng, then showed an expectant expression.
Xu Cheng opened the bottle, raised his head and drank a large gulp of the fountain of pain.
As soon as he entered, he felt something different.
When he ate the red-hot iron ball before, the extremely high temperature iron ball only made him feel hot. It didn't hurt at all because it couldn't break his defense.
But this fountain of pain was different. Xu Cheng felt like he had taken a sip of molten iron with an ordinary person's body, and there was severe pain in his mouth, tongue and throat.
As the fountain of pain flowed from the throat into the abdomen, the terrifying pain also slid all the way into the stomach along the esophagus, and then quickly spread from the stomach to the whole body like an infectious disease.
Xu Cheng threw the bottle back and let out a sigh of relief: "This is enough."
Abasha caught the bottle smoothly and sneered in her heart.
Just pretend for me and see how you cry and roll around for a while.
Xu Cheng closed his eyes and silently felt the pain throughout his body.
He felt like he was being brushed hard all over his body with an iron brush, breaking all the skin and muscles. Then he poured salt water and chili water on it, and finally poured gasoline on it and set it on fire.
The nails on the hands and feet felt as if someone had driven them in with a steel needle, then pried them up and pulled them out piece by piece with pliers.
The bones also seemed to be ground into powder bit by bit with a file.
These maddening pains were amplified several times under the effect of the Fountain of Pain, constantly attacking Xu Cheng's brain nerves.
Abasha was full of expectations, waiting for Xu Cheng to be unable to bear it and make a fool of himself.
But she soon discovered that although Xu Cheng's expression changed slightly, he was still a few blocks away from being unable to bear it.
"What's going on? Didn't he swallow the fountain of pain?"
Abasha was shocked and confused, but she did feel that the fountain of pain was taking effect in Xu Cheng's body.
Who is this guy?
Why can you bear such great pain!
Does he have the ability to be immune to pain?
Time passed by, and Xu Cheng had completely adapted to the intense pain caused by the fountain of pain. All he had to do next was wait for the effect to end.
Seeing that Xu Cheng was about to pass the test, Abasha's expression became uncertain.
She looked at Xu Cheng steadily, folding her arms with both hands, and there seemed to be a light flashing in her eyes.
"Um?"
Xu Cheng's expression suddenly changed.
The pain in his body suddenly increased dozens of times, reaching the threshold he could bear.
His face was solemn, his fists were clenched, and his teeth were gritted.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ah Ying noticed something strange about Xu Cheng and didn't understand why his situation suddenly became worse.
Facing Aying's inquiry, Xu Cheng could no longer hear him. He was now sweating profusely and his muscles were tense. His condition was getting worse.
If it was just pain, it would be nothing, but now these injuries have caused injuries in his body, and this is what is fatal.
"Haha, isn't this obvious?"
Abasha said with a smile: "He can no longer bear the torture of the fountain of pain. Unfortunately, it is too late to admit defeat now."
A Ying ignored Abasha's weirdness and reached out to wipe the sweat from Xu Cheng's face.
For some reason, seeing Xu Cheng's painful look, Ah Ying actually felt the same way, and her own heart seemed to hurt.
She has lived for so many years and has never had such an emotion before.
The past ten years in the Green Sea have been a very special experience for her. She has never been so depressed, and she has never been so supportive of each other with a member of the opposite sex.
Therefore, this special experience has turned Xu Cheng into a very special person in Aying.
She didn't know what it meant, except that she didn't want to see him suffer.
Amidst Abasha's strange voice, Aying took one of Xu Cheng's hands and held it tightly.
Abasha's expression changed: "Hey, helping him suffer the pain together is cheating."
Aying ignored Abasha and guided the pain in Xu Cheng's body into her own body to bear it for him.
Severe pain passed through the two people's clasped arms, making Aying frown slightly. It turned out that Xu Cheng had been suffering from such terrible pain.
With Ah Ying's sharing, Xu Cheng's pain eased significantly, and his frown relaxed.
Soon, three hundred breaths of time finally passed.
Xu Cheng, who was sweating profusely, opened his eyes and found that his hand was tightly held by Aying, and she was also shaking, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
Xu Cheng knew that Aying was sharing the pain for him, but he didn't say anything. A word of thanks between the two of them seemed redundant.
He turned to look at Abasha: "Have we passed the test?"
"Well done."
Abasha clapped her hands gently, then shook her head and said in a very pity tone: "What a pity, she helped you bear the pain halfway. This is cheating, so your test is judged to have failed."
Xu Cheng's eyes sharpened, and when he was about to speak, Ah Ying suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Abasha: "Goddess of Pain, how long are you going to play with me?"
Abasha covered her mouth with her hands and smiled: "Oh, I was discovered."
Xu Cheng looked at Abasha in surprise: "She is the goddess of pain?"
Ah Ying nodded: "I didn't realize it at first, until I came into contact with the pain in your body, and found that it contains the power of pain, and it only appeared just now."
She stared at Abasha with dissatisfied eyes: "If you want to talk about cheating, isn't it a kind of cheating if you use the power of pain to secretly increase his pain?"
"I see, I wonder why it suddenly hurts so much, you idiot!"
Xu Cheng also stared at Abasha. No wonder the pain he felt increased dozens of times during the process. It turned out that this woman was secretly making it harder for him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. After all, your little boyfriend has made all my methods ineffective. I just want to regain a little face."
Abasha clasped her hands together, apologized to Aying and Xu Cheng, and blinked: "We'll be considered a tie this round, how about that?"
Xu Cheng was very unhappy, but they had something to ask for now, and both he and Aying were in a weak state. They could not offend the goddess of pain rashly, so they had to swallow it first.
Ah Ying asked: "Why did you pretend not to know me at first?"
"Because I have never tasted pain at the level of a goddess. Of course I hope you can also participate in the test."
Abasha smiled slightly: "Besides, it seems that we are not familiar with each other at all. Why do I have to know you?"
Aying knew that Abasha was right. They were not familiar with each other at all. They had only heard about each other and had never even met once.
Abasha was not aggressive, but asked instead: "So, why does the goddess of death, who stands at the apex of all gods, appear here and become so embarrassed? Are you like me, defeated by other gods?"
Ah Ying did not explain immediately, but asked: "Do you know the situation outside the Green Sea?"
"have no idea."
Abasha spread her hands and said helplessly: "I don't want my enemies to know that I'm hiding here. Of course I won't take the initiative to learn about the situation outside. What? Is there something big happening outside?"
"you guessed right."
Ah Ying recounted the situation outside.
After hearing this, Abasha, who was smiling playfully, also became serious: "Is there such a thing? You won't lie to me, right?"
“The fact that I’m here now is the best proof of that.”
"Even if what you say is true, why should I help you?"
Abasha shook her head and said, "I'm living a good life in Green Sea. As long as I don't go out, those great masters outside won't come in. Wouldn't I be asking for trouble by helping you?"
"Are you really doing well?"
"Of course, I don't know how happy I am here."
Ah Ying stared into her eyes: "Then why do you torture these lost people in the name of a test?"
Gods are also afraid of loneliness, especially since they have a long life, and they hope to find something to kill their time.
The loneliness in the heart of the Goddess of Pain can be seen in the fact that she takes pleasure in torturing these lost people.
Abasha's face became a little ugly after being hit at a painful point.
Ah Ying strikes while the iron is hot: "As long as you are willing to help me, I can promise you that your enemies will no longer cause trouble for you. You can leave the Green Sea and move around freely outside."
Abasha sneered: "What guarantee do you have?"
Ah Ying said calmly: "Since you know me, you should know my credibility."
Of course Abasha knew that the goddess of shadow and death was one of the most powerful gods. Her reputation and credibility were the best among the gods, and she would never go back on what she had promised.
"Okay, I will believe you just once."
After weighing the pros and cons, Abasha finally agreed, turned and walked back, and a door suddenly opened in the wall behind her.
"You come with me."
Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Abasha.
"Why are you following me? Wait outside."
Aying gave Xu Cheng a comforting look, then followed Abasha into the gate, and the two doors closed automatically.
Xu Cheng had no choice but to wait patiently outside, and his long-term worries relaxed a little.
If the Goddess of Pain can cure Aying's injuries, then his mission will be completed.
However, is it really that simple?
When Xu Cheng was doing difficult tasks in the past, he had to use up almost ten restart opportunities before he could barely pass the level.
And he has only died three times now. According to past experience, he has only completed 30% of this task. There should be trouble later.
When this idea came to Xu Cheng's mind, the manager's beep sounded immediately.
【mission failed】
Fuck, what did I say!
There is indeed something wrong with this old cunt, the Goddess of Pain.
Xu Cheng jumped up from the ground and wanted to rush in to find out.
But the time of the world has been suspended, and Xu Cheng cannot destroy the closed door in front of him.
He could only turn on the replay and re-watch the entire process from entering the pyramid.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything wrong with the Goddess of Pain.
She had hid in the Green Sea hundreds of years ago and had nothing to do with the divine army. She and Aying had only heard of each other but did not know each other, and they did not have any deep hatred.
I simply can’t figure out why she would attack Ah Ying.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, she had an accident while treating Ah Ying, which led to Ah Ying's death.
But this possibility is too low.
After finally going through many painful tests, he finally met the goddess of pain, but was tricked by this guy. Xu Cheng suppressed his anger and directly chose to restart.
Time began to flow back, and Ah Ying and the Goddess of Pain who entered the secret room came out again. Xu Cheng took Ah Ying out of the pyramid and came to the foot of the pyramid. The two of them retreated together, returning to the time when they had just discovered the pyramid.
Time resumed its flow. Xu Cheng looked down and saw Aying sitting on the ground. She looked into the distance with surprised eyes: "What is that?"
Xu Cheng also looked up and saw the pyramid that appeared at the end of the grassland after the storm stopped.
"That's the domain of the Goddess of Pain."
"What?"
Ah Ying raised her head and looked at Xu Cheng in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Because I have the ability to predict things."
Because he could not reveal the existence of the manager, Xu Cheng could only attribute all the things he had experienced before the reopening to his precognition ability and tell Ah Ying the whole process.
This is very outrageous, because the two have been together for more than ten years, and Xu Cheng has never shown any precognitive ability before. Now he suddenly says that he can predict, and only a fool will believe him.
After Xu Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Aying nervously.
Instead, he now hopes that signs after turning back time can be discovered, which is perfect evidence to support his theory.
After listening to Xu Cheng's words, Ah Ying frowned and thought: "The Goddess of Pain should have no reason to attack me. Why?"
Seeing her deep in thought, Xu Cheng was a little moved. Ah Ying actually didn't doubt him at all, nor did she ask him how he got his precognitive ability. This was 100% trust.
Ah Ying suddenly said: "Retell the process after arriving at the pyramid."
When Xu Cheng repeated it again, Ah Ying finally found the reason: "I understand that the goddess of pain must have been extremely seriously injured like me. She used tests to torture those who were lost, not to amuse them, but He wanted to use their pain to heal himself, and when he suddenly attacked me, he probably also wanted to take away my power to heal his injuries."
"Can power heal injuries?"
Xu Cheng originally wanted to take Ah Ying and hide far away after restarting, because the two of them with residual health could not beat the opponent with full health.
Now when Aying said that the Goddess of Pain must have been injured, and that the power could heal the injury, his eyes suddenly lit up.
You can rob us, so why can't we rob you?
Ah Ying and Xu Cheng have a good understanding of each other. Seeing his expression, you immediately understand his plan.
She shook her head and said: "We don't have any power to deal with the Goddess of Pain now."
Although Xu Cheng's injuries have stabilized and he can barely use the dark secret technique, trying to kill the Goddess of Pain with this little power is undoubtedly a fool's errand.
Xu Cheng gave another idea: "I still have seven years to live. If I give you six of them, can I kill the Goddess of Pain with one hit?"
Ah Ying looked up at him, as if he wanted to say something, but finally nodded: "You can give it a try!"
"Then let's go!"
Xu Cheng picked up Ah Ying from the ground and rushed towards the pyramid.
