The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 420: The Afterimage of the Ancient God (Part )

To be honest, Chen Jing was really curious about this black-haired mouse.

Because he really couldn't imagine that an ancient descendant who was no more than Sequence 2, after simply exerting his power... could actually make him, the king of deep space, unable to feel his existence!

Yes.

If the old man's keen "smell" hadn't detected the mouse, Chen Jing and the others probably wouldn't have discovered that this little guy was still hiding under the ground.

At this moment, the "him" in Chen Jing's mind suddenly spoke.

"This rat cub seems to be an ancient species."

"?"

"It's a bit similar, but I can't be sure because there are so many ancient species that look just like it..."

At the same time, the black-haired mouse had been caught by Chen Boxu.

Compared to when Wei Nan was holding his neck, Mouse felt that he was more dangerous now. This crazy old man was much scarier than that stupid girl!

"Jerry?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Your family gives me a very strange feeling..." Chen Bofu seemed to have discovered something. He was holding a mouse named Jerry in his hand. The smile on his face was extremely kind and kind, but it made people feel uncomfortable. Looking at it, I felt creepy, "Your aura seems to be more active, those few of them..."

Jerry was stunned, and his eyes suddenly froze.

After a while, he seemed to be discouraged and stopped struggling, looking at the old man with a resigned look on his face.

"Did you see it?"

"Ah."

Just as Chen Bofu nodded, Jerry sighed, raised his little paw and waved it gently. The remaining mice in his room instantly disintegrated and turned into wisps of black smoke that dispersed in the wind. go.

Seeing this, Chen Boxu stopped scaring it and put it on the ground.

"I'm too weak...so I don't dare to touch others casually..."

As soon as he landed, Jerry put his hands behind his back and started pacing back and forth in a humane manner. He had a bit of an old man's arrogant charm and muttered to himself.

"I don't know if others will harm me... so I'm all alone... I was so bored that I created several clones to live with me..."

"If we hadn't caught you, would you have been hiding like this for the rest of your life?" Yan Que, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Jerry thought for a moment and nodded.

"Actually, it's good to be alone..." Jerry spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "I don't have to worry about others harming me... and I don't have to worry about whether the people around me will die... oh, the average lifespan of a living thing. It’s really too short…”

"You must have lived for many years, right?" Chen Jing asked coldly.

"Yeah." Jerry nodded.

"Are you an ancient species?" Chen Jing asked again.

Hearing the keyword "ancient species", everyone's eyes instantly focused on Jerry.

"I don't know." Jerry shook his head, as if he knew what these three words meant. While speaking, there was a confused expression on his face, which didn't look like he was pretending. "I don't know either. What kind of……"

"Exactly how many years have you lived?" Chen Boxu couldn't help but be curious.

Hearing this question, Jerry was silent for a while, stroking his chin in thought while tapping his feet in small leather shoes on the ground.

"Thousands of years, right?" Jerry gave an uncertain answer. He seemed to realize that he had no need to hide anything and simply told the truth hidden in his heart. "I should have been there all the time." I was asleep, and that memory was very vague... When I woke up, the River Styx had swallowed up the City of Paradise, and I was in the wasteland next to the City of Paradise."

"Is there a possibility..."

Chen Jing squatted on the ground and stared at Jerry curiously.

"Did you appear with the resurrection of the ancient god?"

"I don't know..." Jerry spread his hands and said helplessly, "I don't remember anything, but I think what you said is very possible, because I have always been so suspicious."

After that, Jerry walked up to Chen Jing and sat down on his shoes.

"Are you really going to the River Styx to find the entrance to the dungeon?"

Jerry tilted his head and looked at the unfamiliar faces. Although he was a little afraid of these inexplicable weirdos at first, he suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable thinking that he would never see them again soon.

"You're really going to die, so you'd better not go."

"The little guy is quite kind-hearted..."

Chen Jing smiled and stretched out his fingers, wanting to touch Jerry's head, but the other person tilted his head and raised his miniature hands to shake his hand.

"I just don't think it's necessary... Who goes and who dies in that place... There's never been an exception..." Jerry said helplessly, "Why do you want to go and die?"

"We didn't say we were going to the underground city." Chen Jing said in a dumbfounded voice, "We came to this wasteland to find another ancient ruins."

"Other ancient ruins?" Jerry was startled and replied subconsciously, "But the only ancient ruins in this wasteland is that underground city."

Hearing Jerry's words, Chen Jing also felt a little guilty.

Because he had some doubts before coming... Could there be some connection between the old treasure house of the Western Continent and the lost underground city?

Even "he" in his mind was deeply doubtful about this.

Because "he" felt that the destruction of that city was no accident, and that the most secret and unknown place in the Western Continent was the most likely place to hide some secret treasure... wasn't it the underground city?

Other than that, it's just a wasteland.

of course.

Another possibility is that the treasure house is hidden very deep, so it has never been discovered by outsiders, and it has nothing to do with the so-called underground city.

"You know this wasteland well, right?"

"Yes!"

"I have a map here. Please help me see the location of the marked point. Is it the entrance to the dungeon you mentioned..."

Chen Jing said, raising his hand to reveal the map drawn in advance.

And at this time.

Chen Bofu suddenly stood up, as if facing a formidable enemy, and Jerry, who was sitting on Chen Jing's shoes, also shuddered, as if he had realized something, and hurriedly stood up and looked towards the cliff to the southeast.

"It seems we are out of luck..." Chen Boxu sighed.

"It's them...those monsters are coming..." Jerry said tremblingly, his body gradually becoming transparent, "This is not far from the border... You should seize the time and run out of the wasteland...or you will be killed by them. It fell..."

At this moment, Chen Jing also saw the scattered figures standing on the cliff.

As Jerry the rat said.

They are like shadows in the true sense. Their black bodies seem to absorb light, giving people an inexplicably depressing feeling.

But they are as dark as shadows, but they have a pair of eyes that are whiter and colder than the moonlight.

When Chen Jing made contact with their eyes, he felt that the other person's cold and twisted eyes were like countless poisonous steel needles, as if they could pierce a person's soul with holes.

"Their eyes are so fierce...as if they are going to eat us alive..."

Wei Nan also entered a state of preparation for war at this moment, the scarlet light in his eyes kept beating, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Yanque and Qiao Youning on the side were also ready for battle, and they were watching the humanoid shadows with great vigilance.

"I know what they are..."

Suddenly, "his" surprised voice sounded in Chen Jing's mind.

"They are the afterimages of the ancient gods... They are Xi's dependents... Xi actually resurrected them in this era?!"
