Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

2018, July 7, 7:12 am.

Zhengguo, Tiandu.

evening.

A figure wrapped in exoskeleton armor suddenly appeared from a high altitude in the sky, and the Tongyou Dao Armor, which escaped from the invisible state, fell from the sky, and then, under the protection of wind Taoism, it decelerated instantly as if there was no reaction force. , landed gently on the roof of the building where Zhuzhao Group was located, and created a ripple of strong wind visible to the naked eye.

The tall exoskeleton armor was completely black, and there were a series of cracks on the originally smooth chest armor. After landing, the armor on the back of the outer armor opened, and a young man with long wood-colored hair who looked a little tired stood up and left.

The enemy this time is quite strong...I almost had to notify the local security bureau directly and apply for official force to carry out the attack.

The body part of Daojia is composed of artificial bionic spiritual cartilage structure, which can buffer various shocks and impacts, and can also transmit the spiritual power of the exclusive user almost 100%.

The head is also completely wrapped, with only a V-shaped narrow observation window at the eyes.

However, this Dao armor, which seemed to be conceived by shadows and hidden in the darkness, had a penetrating broken wound in the middle of the chest. Although the wound was not deep, the outer armor of the exoskeleton armor was indeed broken through. If it were not the user The body is harder than the armor, and I am afraid it will be severely damaged by this attack.

A Familia who is on the verge of becoming a leader. Even I can't completely dodge the full blow before his death.

Standing on the roof of the building, letting the engineering robot load and transport the Dao Armor to the maintenance room, Shao Qiming stared at the scar on the chest of the armor and couldn't help but fell into deep thought: With most of the weak family members being suppressed by me and the relevant departments, the remaining Those coming down are some tough guys.”

It's getting harder and harder to hide your own power and quickly solve them.

During the recent period, Shao Qiming still maintained a high-intensity hunting operation against all kinds of dangerous gods' families.

However, with the launch of the sixth nationwide anti-gang and evil operation, most of the weak and dangerous individuals were captured or killed in the early stages. As a result, Shao Qiming had to repeatedly expand the scope of his hunting, and was even killed. Like his good friends in the past, he had to leave the border and go hunting in neighboring countries.

Similarly, the dependent clans that can survive the official attacks of the Zhengguo are all very difficult and powerful without exception - just like what Shao Qiming encountered this time, an 'Iron Needle Pine' with the blood of a sacred tree, which is both Familia individuals with strength and cunning.

This sacred tree entrenched in Siberia has become a dominant force in the local forest. It has assimilated all the pine forests within a few kilometers, and its body is entrenched deep underground, like an underground hedgehog covered in thorns. .

As soon as any hostile creature approaches, it will be killed by a salvo of thousands of pine needles more powerful than armor-piercing naval guns. So far, more than twenty people have died in this forest, and the Russian official still He didn't understand the situation clearly, and was even guessing whether some kind of ferocious spiritual beast was entrenched in the surrounding area.

And when Shao Qiming relied on the convex mirror effect to gather the surrounding sunlight, searing the entire forest with high temperature, and used the power of his sacred tree to block the earth veins, forcing the iron needle pine body to come out of the ground, he discovered that the opponent Nayu In the center of the circular core where countless updates are intertwined, there are already young plants belonging to the 'sacred tree' series sprouting.

If it continues to grow like this, I am afraid that in a few years, it may transform into the most primitive bud of the sacred tree, growing a brand new form from its original body.

And this is probably how most of the native Shenmu Familiar clans advance.

The strength of the iron needle pine tree is very powerful. Without revealing his identity and needing to hide a certain amount of strength, if it were not for Shao Qiming's combination of using the Tongyou Dao Armor to shuttle through the shadows and the fuso tree releasing divine light attacks, he could transfer it extremely flexibly. And attack, I'm afraid it can't do anything to the other party.

But even so, when he finally killed the iron needle pine core, he was almost severely injured by a blow using the natal spiritual leaf of the budding sacred tree before the opponent was about to die, shattering his heart.

Fortunately, Shao Qiming himself is also a sacred tree and has great resistance to wood attacks. Therefore, his armor was only broken and a few ribs were broken. Now he has almost healed himself.

In fact, among all the known dangerous creatures in the world, Iron Needle Pine is not the most powerful group.

Nowadays, in the Africa region, there is already news of the appearance of leader-level spiritual beasts - many small countries are already under martial law across the country and have applied for assistance from the United International. Otherwise, if they do not have strong people, they will be killed by this. An attack by a divine beast of this level may lead to the destruction of the country.

Just like Iron Needle Pine, ordinary conventional troops are no longer useful against monsters of this level. Unless they use heavy firepower to clear the ground for a long time and use strong men to force them to be exposed on the surface, otherwise, the opponent only needs to escape. Thousands of meters deep underground, even nuclear bombing cannot kill the opponent.

As for the Commander-in-Chief Familia who are stronger than Iron Needle Songmu... If they encounter a Familia monster of that level, even Shao Qiming may not be able to defeat it. At most, he can only protect himself - this may also depend on luck.

Of course, if he really encounters a very, very powerful family of gods, then the young man will not say anything, he will directly notify the local security bureau and apply for the assistance of the Holy See.

And if it were stronger... he would directly notify his friends and apply for a dimension reduction overlord-level attack on the family members.

At that time, the other party will definitely regret why he didn't just be quiet and be killed by him.

If you are in doubt, report it directly.

When you become the Dark Knight, you only become the Dark Knight if you can solve the problem. If you can't solve the problem - then Bateman will call Speedman to save the situation. It's not uncommon.

There is no shame in asking for help... What's more, he is already within the system, and calling for official strikes is part of the normal method.

And just when Shao Qiming was thinking about how to repair the damage to the Tongyou Dao Armor in a short time.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked up into the sky.

Huh?

Staring at the twinkling light above Tiandu that ordinary people couldn't see, Shao Qiming couldn't help but murmur to himself: This... Ah Zhou is here?

Aren't you busy with meetings here and there today?

His tone was a little worried and hesitant, but soon, this worry was thrown away.

There is nothing to worry about.

Although he did not announce to the official that he secretly hunted the Shenmu Familia and learned the God's Spiritual Collection Technique, in essence, this was not a big problem.

Indeed, I don't want others to know that I have chosen the way of the sacred tree to practice, but what if I know?

So, he smiled and shook his head, turned around and returned to his office.

And when Su Zhou landed on the top floor of the office building of Zhuzhao Tiandu Headquarters and walked past the identity detection facilities to the chairman's office, he heard a familiar voice.

Inside Jeongguk, the list of suspicious individuals among the national comprehensive athletics players is on the table.

Okay, then I'll take it.

Su Zhou raised his head and saw Shao Qiming sitting behind his desk, browsing related matters within the group. He smiled and said, What, is the group very busy?

Fortunately, there are official Zhengguo people involved. Although it is subject to supervision, in general, the specific matters are not that troublesome, and various departments will give the green light.

With the relationship between the two of them, there is no need for greetings, thanks, or even greetings.

Of course, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Su Zhou was very grateful to Shao Qiming.

Since the revival of spiritual energy, Su Zhou has been traveling back and forth between different worlds and earths. Although he deliberately spends time with his parents and friends, fulfills his duties as a professor and brings up a group of students, most of his energy is indeed spent on Focus on improving your own strength and fighting against various dangerous enemies and disasters.

Shao Qiming's existence solved many worries for him, such as helping Su Zhou's parents relocate to a safer area, helping him prepare various materials that could not be prepared openly in the early stage, and later directly setting up a company group to provide him with Planning resources including politics.

Just like this time's 'Comprehensive Sports for All' plan, Su Zhou essentially just proposed a program and ideas, but it was Shao Qiming who actually implemented and improved them - it was Su Zhou who gained fame, but secretly It is the other person who is busy.

It is true that both parties have something to gain, but this kind of thing cannot be calculated in terms of interests.

In a few days, the official preliminaries for the National Comprehensive Athletic Competition will begin. The participants this time are the winners from each state. It would be best if you can participate.

Okay, I will go there and take this opportunity to arrest those dangerous elements.

They casually decided on the plan for the next few days, and the two sides chatted about some family matters. For example, Shao Shuangyue was working as a virtual VUP recently and had not left home for several days. The Shao parents decided to go to Qingdao together some time ago. Qiu Xing took a trip to see with his own eyes the giant statue of Su Zhou that had just been carved by the Qingqiu people.

Of course, there are also some decisions made by the group.

Due to the large-scale construction and future planning in recent years, there is less and less available land on the earth. If Zhuzhao Group wants to continue to develop the related spiritual plant and animal cultivation industry, it must apply for land use in other areas. Certificate. This qualification certificate requires a guarantee statement from some senior officials of Zhengguo.

In this regard, Su Zhou naturally signed several sets of words on the spot - in today's earth, I am afraid that no one's signature is more authoritative than Su Zhou's.

Things mostly worked out.

Normally, Su Zhou would have left after talking to this point, and today seemed to be no exception.

correct.

However, just when Su Zhou turned around and walked to the door of the office, Shao Qiming also retracted his gaze and looked at the computer screen.

The young man turned his head and said seriously to his friend: Qiming, there is something I must say.

……What's up?

Hearing this, although Shao Qiming showed no change on the surface, not even a slight startle, the lack of change itself was a flaw.

In this regard, Su Zhou said seriously: I don't know much about the way of the sacred tree, so I can't help you very much in this regard.

The wisdom tree in my family grows up by accumulating resources, and then slowly takes root and grows - and Qiming, you are not a real sacred tree now, so naturally you cannot learn this method, not to mention I don't think you will accept and A boring life like a tree standing still.

So, I'm afraid I can only give you one piece of advice - the most important thing in the cultivation of Shenmu is 'stable', not 'radical'. Hunting other Shenmu family members to feed themselves can certainly accelerate their growth, but this kind of mentality , but it is inconsistent with the 'existence' and 'derived' characteristics of the sacred tree itself, and it is likely to go astray or even go astray.

If you are injured this time, take good care of yourself and don't continue to take action recently... In fact, your accumulation is completely enough. You just need to calm down and settle down, and understand the nature of the 'eternal existence' of the sacred tree. Breaking through to the command level should be Things will fall into place.”

Ah Zhou...

Hearing this, it was naturally impossible for Shao Qiming to pretend to be as if nothing had happened. His expression was a bit complicated. Although he felt flustered that the 'secret' had been discovered, he felt more relieved.

Choosing the way of the sacred tree was certainly his own decision to catch up with Su Zhou, but after being discovered by the other party and discovering that he had embarked on a different path of great existence, Shao Qiming still felt that he was not walking with Su Zhou. Feeling of unease.

After all, he also knew that the relationship between great beings was not harmonious. Although some great beings had cooperated for a period of time, in general, they were all opposed to each other.

Right...

However, before Shao Qiming could continue to speak, Su Zhou had already seriously stretched out a hand and condensed a little blue-purple light spot on his fingertips similar to the floating inheritance brand in the 'Preaching Tower'.

Then, he sent it to Shao Qiming, interrupting the other person's words, causing him to subconsciously reach out his hand and catch the light spot.

Immediately afterwards, the young man said calmly: The God's Soul Convergence Method is indeed a very good quick method. But like all quick methods, it has hidden dangers.

The gathered god factors are essentially the life essence of the dependents. Qiming, if you absorb too much, it will affect the purity of your own essence - of course, purity is of no use, but at least it can reduce your mental pressure and allow you to focus on Make your own path, rather than being influenced by the residual spirit of others.”

Speaking of this, Su Zhou showed a confident smile: And by practicing my 'Method of Eternal Innovation', you can slowly drive away these impurities, and even drive away other strange thoughts.

Although it is not a powerful fighting method, if it is about tempering the essence and solidifying the foundation, I feel that there is no comparable inheritance in the world.

After finishing speaking, the young man put his hands behind his back and looked at his friend with a smile.

——The way of sacred trees?

That is also correct.

That being the case, what's not to admit?

Although he didn't say a word, Su Zhou's meaning was so obvious that Shao Qiming clearly understood what he meant without any words at all.

... Your method of eternal innovation, I remember you didn't brag to me last time, saying that it has been recorded in the mission tower, and it belongs to the first-level inheritance of the Great Heavenly Lord?

He closed his hands and absorbed the blue-purple light spots into his body. Shao Qiming closed his eyes slightly, feeling the inherited message of 'The Method of Eternal Innovation'.

Then, he opened his eyes and said with the same free and easy smile: Then I took advantage of it? At least this is the Tianzun cultivation method that can only be obtained with one million citizen points or more, right?

A million? At least tens of millions, or in other words, priceless!

Su Zhou laughed. Although he didn't know how Zhengguo officials would deal with the related Tianzun inheritance in the future, he knew very well that if he wanted to practice Tianzun-level inheritance, the prerequisite was to pass on the basic Immortal God inheritance like Bai Yingxue did. Reaching the state of transformation—otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to understand the relevant practices, let alone practice them.

Without a thorough understanding of true dragons, how could one possibly learn the way to conquer the sky and be a dragon, and how could one learn the Dharmakaya of the Candle Dragon? Without a deep understanding of the way of the divine bird, I am afraid that even the essence of the phoenix cannot be broken.

Studying abruptly will only lead to self-destruction.

Even if this kind of practice truly becomes a Datong society in the future, it will not be shared casually, because the information contained in these inheritances will cause harm to people if they are not known to a certain extent.

After laughing, Su Zhou's expression became serious.

He looked at Shao Qiming, who was meditating, and said seriously.

Actually, I did think about whether I should find Yala, or whether I should condense the 'immortal blood' myself and give it to you and the rest of the family to use.

But the erosion of immortal blood is too powerful. After accepting it, it is basically marked with the mark of 'chaos'... This is not a good thing. Although Yara seems to be a great being with good intentions, his The essence is chaos. If you become his core family, God knows whether you will be attacked by other great existence families - and in the future, if Yara and I part ways, I can give up this aspect of power, but what about you?

Even in the soul space, Yala started to lose her temper again, saying something like, 'Su Zhou, you brat, you are obviously my covenant holder, but you still say bad things about me to other people? ! ’ ‘What happened to Chaos? At least my popularity is better than Dusk! ’ Such a weird thing.

But Su Zhou still insisted on finishing these words.

This is actually a problem that has always troubled Su Zhou... To this day, although they have experienced many adventures together, he has always had a certain degree of suspicion about Yala.

In fact, this is the result of Yala's own deliberate creation - because only those who have endless doubts can be regarded as his dependents and companions.

But even if Yala did not guide him, Su Zhou would still doubt him until the young man knew the full extent of Yala's plan.

Faced with Yala still hiding in the dark curtain and Shenlong's plan that has never been seen, Su Zhou is still trying to guess the other party's purpose until now.

So now, seeing that Shao Qiming took the initiative to choose the path of the 'sacred tree', Su Zhou was still a little worried, but more of it was relieved.

Because of this, at least Shao Qiming chose this path by himself and was not coerced by him and Yala.

As for not being in the same camp...

Friends do not mean that we can only walk the same path together. Only those who share the same path can be friends.

In addition, there is another kind - just because you have chosen a different path, but you can still have a good relationship, this is also a true friend.

I understand. I will temporarily stop my plan to hunt other Shenmu Familia and try to feel the true essence of the way of the Shenmu.

By now, Shao Qiming also knew very well that Su Zhou probably knew all his actions from the beginning, but he only had some complicated reasons, so he kept silent.

And when he suddenly said it today... I'm afraid Su Zhou himself figured something out, right?

He smiled and sighed, and then said calmly: Don't worry, I can listen to Jin's opinion, and I also understand that my previous actions were indeed a bit rash and hasty... Don't worry, Ah Zhou, I understand everything.

Haha, this is very innovative.

Hearing Shao Qiming's assurance, Su Zhou laughed.

Even so, neither Su Zhou nor Shao Qiming had any indication of such obvious illegal things as 'killing family members in private' or 'hunting evil spirits across borders'.

After all, in essence, they are not good guys who follow the rules.

At this point, Su Zhou should really leave.

However, this time it was Shao Qiming who persuaded him to stay.

By the way, Ah Zhou, there is something that I didn't plan to tell you before, so as not to disturb you.

Standing up from behind the desk, the young man with long wooden hair looked at Su Zhou with a serious look on his face: But since you happen to be here now, let me say something.

Shuangyue's situation has been a bit weird recently. She obviously did very well in the Holy Examination, and her family members have completely let go of live streaming and gaming, letting her do whatever she wants...but she has always been a little depressed.

I've asked a few times, but every time I just responded with a um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Hearing this, Su Zhou raised his eyebrows, nodded and replied: It just so happens that I have exactly what I mean.

After all, it probably does have something to do with me.

Then I'll leave this matter to you.

Nodding slightly, Shao Qiming sat back in his seat again and said with a smile: Then I will continue to deal with matters related to the competition. If there is any situation, please contact me directly.

No problem, I'll leave everything to you. Over there at Shuangyue, I'll go take a look.

Responding seriously, Su Zhou turned around, walked out of the door of the chairman's office, and then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.

Sitting in his seat in the office, Shao Qiming relied on the camera above the Zhuzhao Group building to see a blue-purple light rising rapidly. After reaching the upper reaches of the atmosphere, it turned and flew towards the south of Zhengguo.

Lowering his head, the young man closed his eyes and felt the inheritance of the method called [Eternal Innovation] in his mind.

...Admit mistakes, make corrections and make progress.

Reciting the core key of this technique in a low voice, he laughed silently.

Opening his eyes, Shao Qiming looked at the photo of the Shao and Su families in front of his desk ten years ago. He stared into the photo frame and saw the young man whose appearance and temperament were still very immature, but he could still see the shadow of him now. I am filled with emotion.

The guy who pursued excellence wholeheartedly and was extremely stubborn...the guy who was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, and insisted on finding faults for others to prove that he was right.

Have you become such a person now?

He whispered to himself, then smiled and shook his head slightly: You are so considerate...

If that's the case, I'm afraid I also need to 'reform'.

Blue-purple light flew past the atmosphere.

2018, July 7, 7:46 am.

Zhengguo, Hongzhou, Hongcheng, Shao family mansion.

evening.

The sound of typing came from the quiet room on the second floor of the mansion.

[Qing Yinghua]: How is it? Have you filled out the application form? Registration has started now! If we have time in August, we can participate in the most basic preliminaries to warm up, increase some visibility, and cooperate with future competitions!

[Shao Shuangyue]: Yes, it has been filled out. But Yinghua, do we really want to broadcast the qualifiers? If we lose by accident, it will be a big shame.

[Qing Yinghua]: ???

[Qing Yinghua]: You, can you even say this? Shuangyue, you are ranked first in the country in terms of grades and practical classes, and I am at least the first-class among my peers. Let's work hard. , there is no problem in entering the 'People's List', how come you can even say that you lost in the basic qualifiers?

[Shao Shuangyue]: The main thing is that I'm still a little worried...

[Qing Yinghua]: What's there to worry about? Your two brothers are both hosts of related events. You usually have a small talk, right? I know you usually hide your strength. Why are you not confident? what!

[Shao Shuangyue]: ...

The continuous typing sound suddenly stopped at this point.

Staring at the chat history on the screen, the black-haired girl with her hair tied up was slightly dazed.

People list.

To be precise, it is the third list of [Heaven, Earth, and People].

Initiated by the Zhuzhao Group and the Rainbow Snake Group, and supported by official organizations such as United International, the Europa Concord Bureau, the Zhengguo National Security Bureau, the Ross National Security Bureau and the Americas NW Foundation, it is a ranking of relevant practitioners worldwide. List.

The Heavenly Ranking now refers to the ranking list of the Commander-in-Chief or even above the Commander-in-Chief, which belongs to the categories of Human Immortal and Earth Immortal. Theoretically, this should be a list that only exists above Earth Immortals and Earth Immortals, but because there is only one Earth Immortal in the world now, Su Zhou, the standard has been lowered and the leading human immortals have also been added to it.

The Earth Ranking refers to the extraordinary level - it will be upgraded to the leader level in the future, but now it refers to the ranking of cultivators of this level. People like Shao Qiming, Guan Wanjing, Li Hanshan, Jin Qiong and Li Yeyu are all on this list.

There is no need to say too much about the Human Ranking, which is about the potential stocks of the awakening level among the younger generation. Unlike the World and Earth Ranking, which collects information about strong people from all over the world, every country and every region has a corresponding Human Ranking.

Su Zhou is number one on the Heavenly Ranking, no one doubts it. Shao Qiming is in the middle and lower ranks of the local rankings, but he can be regarded as a well-known powerhouse among the younger generation.

As for Shao Shuangyue's strength, judging from his daily results, there is indeed some distance between him and his ability to enter the global rankings. Even on the national rankings, I'm afraid he won't be able to get a first-class ranking.

But for friends who are familiar with the girl's true strength and have personally competed with Shao Shuangyue against Qing Yinghua, she knows very well how strong this girl who usually looks unattractive and even a bit lazy is.

Not to mention being at the top of the national list, she is also a solid top performer among the young generation in the world.

After all, her two brothers are now the number one person on earth and the chairman of a nationally renowned emerging group!

But Qing Yinghua herself didn't know that her casual words suddenly hurt Shao Shuangyue's heart.

What on earth am I not confident about?

Staring at her computer screen, she whispered to herself.

The compliment, which could be regarded as a vague boast from a friend, suddenly caused huge ripples in Shao Shuangyue's still calm heart.

——Can I win?

——Can I really win?

——If I participate but don't get good results... wouldn't it be a disgrace to my brothers?

[Qing Yinghua]: What's wrong, Shuangyue, why did you suddenly stop replying?

Are you unhappy? I'm sorry. I just thought you were really strong. I didn't specifically say that you had a little trouble...

Shao Shuangyue did not see her friend's speech.

The girl's heart was already in turmoil at this moment.

This kind of panic, this kind of fear, is incomprehensible to everyone else, and the impact is greater than others imagine.

Even, it was far bigger than Shao Shuangyue imagined.

So, when Shao Shuangyue discovered it herself, she was at a loss and had left the Shao family mansion for a long time and was walking on the path along the Ganjiang River.

Why am I... not confident?

Under the dim street lights, Shao Shuangyue sat on a seat beside the coastal path. She stared at the rushing river in front of her and couldn't help but whisper to herself: Or, what am I unwilling to give in to?

Thinking of this, the girl smiled bitterly.

Not willing to give in?

That would be too much.

——Every morning, get up from your bed at home. Nothing happened, nothing changed.

I will not suddenly put on a new set of clothes, get a new identity, and spend a day full of novelty. It will just be a boring repetition of yesterday.

Although we live in a wonderful world, we can only watch our brothers do whatever they want and be protected in the safest nest, so that even taking a step forward is a little scary.

Taking out her mobile phone with a Necron-related mobile phone case, which was not girly at all, Shao Shuangyue subconsciously checked the news.

[Returning from Jupiter—Zheng Guo’s New World Exploration Department Minister Su Zhou once again made contact with alien civilization! The mysterious civilization of Cernostia, the country on the Milky Way, is revealed! 】

[Young entrepreneur - Chairman of Zhuzhao Group and one of the representatives of Zhengguo's young generation, Mr. Shao Qiming will be interviewed by the 'Global Martial Arts Comprehensive Competition Committee', revealing his journey behind setting off a wave of global competition plans! 】

[New era - United International once again empowers countries around the world to cooperate closely. In this new wave of the era, mankind should move forward hand in hand! 】

Just by swiping through the information, Shao Shuangyue could see several news related to his relatives among the ten news items.

Especially in all kinds of news about the New Era series, although the names of Su Zhou and Shao Qiming may not appear every time, nine times out of ten, they are related to them behind the scenes.

[Yes, I call for world peace. Human strength should be united together instead of consuming each other and fighting among ourselves. Countries should work together to move towards the future and the stars. 】

[Who will ensure fairness in cooperation? I'll make sure. 】

【How to guarantee? It's too simple. Whoever is unfair is also unfair to me. 】

[No, no, no, this is not a threat. Mr. Reporter, I have legal support - United International has given me global law enforcement powers. Accompanied by relevant teams from the four permanent members of the Security Council, I can investigate any relevant matters that I think are problematic. person. As long as they do have a problem, then I can put the person in jail. 】

Brother Zhou has always been so confident...

Shao Shuangyue watched Su Zhou talk eloquently and confidently during the interview. She stared at the scene, then closed her eyes and frowned.

She whispered to herself: This is probably his favorite life.

[——I felt a little frustrated. 】

There seemed to be such a voice resounding deep in my heart.

Something seemed to be calling in her heart, which made the girl's mouth go dry. She wanted to say something loudly, but she couldn't think of the reason why she wanted to shout.

And at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Shao Shuangyue's mind.

That light once appeared in his computer and belonged to that string of mysterious words.

[Want to go to higher places, set foot further, and become stronger? 】

【Want to know the meaning of life? 】

Danger.

Whether it was serious thinking or instinctive perception, Shao Shuangyue could sense a life-threatening danger from these words.

However, the feeling that danger brought her was one of anticipation.

If you click 'Yes', there is no doubt that you will have a completely different fate than you do now, right?

If Brother Zhou hadn't helped dispel that mysterious text... that might have been the path she was about to take.

Do I really long for a dangerous and novel life, instead of being brainwashed by the influence of that light?

Ask yourself this deeply.

The answer Shao Shuangyue got was an unexpected 'yes'.

certainly.

Of course she wanted to go.

It’s precisely because I don’t know what the outcome will be…that’s why I’m going.

Precisely because others don’t know what the future will be like...that’s why we have to set off!

No matter how many times you think about it over and over, no matter how many times you are confused and hesitant - even though at the beginning, you are afraid and confused because you don't understand.

But now, the girl who has gradually grown to this point is vaguely aware of her sincerity.

So, the girl gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Next time...ask Brother Zhou what's going on with that light. Whether you tell me or not, I have to ask!

If I can't even do this, I will look down on myself!

At this moment.

Su Zhou was standing in the clouds, staring at the girl beside the river who was confused about the future.

He was also silent.

Now, within Hongcheng, all those who intended to commit crimes or had even started to act were all suppressed in place by an extremely tyrannical force at this moment, unable to move in fear.

Su Zhou's thoughts swept through, whether they were potential patients with extraordinary diseases, the family members of gods hidden in the crowd, or simple criminals, they were all killed under the magical powers of the 'Demon Devouring Lord' and 'Wuxiang Heart'. See through completely.

However, this terrifying thought only lasted for a few seconds, and after remembering all the restless people, it disappeared.

Because at this time, the young man had landed in front of Shao Shuangyue.

I can tell you, tell you about that text, about the 'Pioneer Space'.

Under the surprised and wide-eyed gaze of the girl, Su Zhou, who was almost as if he had fallen from the sky, strode over and sat next to Shao Shuangyue.

Zi, Brother Zhou?! Could it be that you were always there just now...

That's not important. Shuangyue, what's important is, do you really want to know?

Su Zhou didn't care at all about his little sister's extremely shocked tone, pointing at him and questioning in a trembling voice. He just looked at the rushing river in front of him and reiterated calmly: Do you want to know from the bottom of your heart?

Even if that road is dangerous and rugged, you are likely to face death and various crises... That kind of life is completely opposite to the current comfortable and peaceful life, there are no games, no playful days... You really want to know ?

After saying this, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but forget the shock and confusion in her heart.

Su Zhou's words did not scare her, but made her determined.

So Shao Shuangyue opened her mouth, took a deep breath, bit her lip, and said seriously: I think so.

I would like to know.

Shao Shuangyue's voice trembled as she clenched her fists.

But then, her tone turned firm: I want to go to unknown places, brother, I want to go to places that don't exist on the map, to places that no one has ever been to.

And... I don't want to be used as a foil. I don't want to be able to read your news on my mobile phone... I don't want my friends to always say, 'Shao Shuangyue is your sister' - I'm vain, eager for others' approval, and want to When I’m praised, it’s not because of other people, but because of myself.”

That's why I want to play games. That's why I always play ladder games and competitive games... because I know that what I long for doesn't exist in reality and only exists in fantasy.

But now, this brand new world has arrived... I can no longer immerse myself in virtual fantasy! I want to truly step into this new world, not just a game!

Stating her deepest desire, Shao Shuangyue even seemed to want to cry when she said this.

But until the end, she did not shed any tears.

Because this is not a complaint or a complaint.

But the determination a girl, a human, makes when deciding her own path.

Listening to Shao Shuangyue's determined answer, Su Zhou was silent for a moment.

The high-spirited young man in the past seemed to have become an elder when facing the girl in front of him.

The unique entanglement in the hearts of elders has always been boiling. The idea that a girl can choose something better, more familiar, less difficult, smoother, simpler, and able to easily achieve 'happiness' always makes Su Zhou unable to help but want to interfere in the other person's life.

But now... after hearing the other party's determination, Su Zhou could no longer do anything to prevent the other party from contacting the 'Pioneer' for the second time.

So he just stretched out his hand and pinched Shao Shuangyue's face.

Then, amid the other party's angry words, he laughed.

good.

Su Zhou said this, and then began to tell.

Those related to pioneer space, other worlds, and even things about pioneers.

Except for the great existence, Su Zhou told Shao Shuangyue everything about the Pioneer Space.

This is different from a game. After entering the pioneer space, you become a character in the game and no longer a player - you may still be able to make various choices like the player, but if you are injured Injury, death is death.”

I will no longer restrict your choices, but Shuangyue, are you sure that you can become such a role?

At this moment, it is already night.

The moonlight mixed with the dim lights on the river bank, making the water along the river reflect light.

“…I want to give it a try and know for sure that I won’t regret it.”

To this, Shao Shuangyue answered seriously.

good.

Hearing these words, Su Zhou said no more: Since this is your decision.

After speaking, he stood up, then raised his hand, and the strong wind surged.

Peiran's incomparable spiritual power, at the moment it surged out, even distorted the light, causing the moonlight and lights to scatter... Then it turned into a mighty stream of light, aiming at the string hanging on the girl's chest. Infused with white scale pendant.

In just a moment, the pendant, which was originally flashing with faint spiritual light, completely turned into a blue-purple scale-shaped gemstone.

【Original Candlelight's Blessing】

The power of the immortal gods ripples in it, exuding a magnificent brilliance like a nebula.

Is this the power to protect me?

Realizing this, Shao Shuangyue stretched out her fingers in surprise, feeling the majestic spiritual light surging in the pendant on her chest - it was a terrifying spiritual power that far exceeded her strength countless times, and the light was as deep as the sea. The surge, just a slight sensation, made the girl feel dizzy.

Originally, Shao Shuangyue's heart was full of emotion.

The feeling of being protected is so reassuring, joyful, and full of peace...

Until Su Zhou coldly told the truth.

Guard? No.

Shuangyue, this is for you to self-destruct.

……Eh?

For a moment, Shao Shuangyue was stunned.

She stupidly raised her head and looked at the young man with an extremely serious face - his kind and friendly face, like that of a good brother, suddenly became unfamiliar.

Su Zhou's face was half covered by shadows, and his blue-purple dragon pupils flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.

He looked at the girl and said solemnly: If my sister, Su Zhou, was really in danger, how could she die so ordinary?

This 'Reverse Five-pole Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder' is a strike that I have devoted all my strength to. It combines the power of fire, wind, water, thunder and even sacred trees, and can directly create a power close to that of an antimatter explosion.

When this scale necklace self-destructs, it can even burst out with the power of 'Thundering Void'. It can directly break all magical powers, and even kill the caster along the path of the curse. Even if the lich eats so much Even a single blow will cause heavy damage, and even the phylactery may not be able to revive it!

In this case, no matter how strong the enemy is, there is no way they can resurrect you after you self-destruct and humiliate you again and again!

Eh?!!

The girl's astonishment became louder, but at this time, Su Zhou had already stood up.

He patted the girl on the shoulder, and then said softly: I will always support all your choices... So, if you really want to, then as long as you say something, I will go to your room and lift the ban on Pioneer Space for you. the power of.

As for now, you should go home and think carefully about what else you need to prepare if you want to enter the pioneer space - whether it is weapons, elixirs, or other messy preparations, you must prepare them all now. So that you don’t regret it later when you go in and see it.”

If you're missing anything, just tell me and your brother.

After speaking, Su Zhou really walked away directly.

Then, just like that, he continued to be in the cloud, watching Shao Shuangyue return to the Shao family mansion from the coast with a confused look on his face, and then returned to his room, staring at his computer room in a daze.

[...Ah Zhou, why did you lie to Shuangyue? 】

In Su Zhou's personal terminal, Shao Qiming, who had been listening in, was speechless: [Although it is true that you can self-destruct, it is obviously a medium that allows you to exert your power across the air, right? 】

You don't understand, Qiming, the 'Pioneer Path' chosen by this little girl Shuang Yue is very troublesome. If she doesn't say it more seriously, she will definitely do the 'Try stimulating the power of this pendant and see the effect!' The thing is - people who tend to be pioneers, if you don’t set some rules for them, they really dare to do anything!”

In this regard, Su Zhou explained angrily: The number of times I can take action in the air is limited. Even if I rely on the scales of my body as a medium and the power of will to conduct through the air, it is very difficult and there is no guarantee that I can take action. Several times, so it’s best not to let Frost Moon go to waste once.”

【……Right. 】

After all, Shao Qiming is his brother and someone who knows Shao Shuangyue's character very well. After thinking for a while, he sighed: [Unfortunately, my strength is not strong enough, otherwise, I would have done the same thing. 】

Haha. Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but smile, but soon he sighed again: Hey.

Human beings have their own right, and everyone has their own way of living.

——It’s like some people can’t understand why someone would actively choose to work and live in a difficult place.

——It’s also like some people can’t understand why some people can endure a repetitive life day after day.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, everyone is a real weirdo, or even a 'monster'.

But there's nothing wrong with being a monster.

Thinking of this, the young man turned his attention to the wisdom tree hanging upside down in the clouds and sky in his personal space. Su Zhou shook his head slightly: I have been really busy recently, but for the sacred tree, I am afraid it is only a moment - this wisdom tree I don’t know when I will wake up.”

Speaking of which, if Shuangyue also enters the Pioneer Space, then as far as I know, plus Jiu Ming, the Ant-Man Lich, there are three familiar points that can be used to detect the details inside the space.

At this time, Su Zhou couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully: Speaking of Jiu Ming, almost three months have passed. He should be back soon, right?

After he comes back, I will ask about the specific situation and make preparations for Shuang Yue to enter the pioneer space.

time flies.

Seven days later.

2018, July 14.

Zhengguo, the secret realm of Kunlun.

A palace hidden in the five mountains in the center of Kunlun Secret Realm is a secret room used for the retreat of powerful people related to Zhengguo.

Following a distortion of time and space, a blue-haired boy with two horns on his head and a handsome face appeared in the secret room out of thin air.

Aha! Earth, I'm back!

Full of energy and strength, the blue-haired dragon boy who has reached the first level of leadership is now walking out of the secret room in high spirits.

He picked up his personal terminal placed outside the secret room, and then confidently informed Zheng Guo that he had returned from the pioneer space.

Next, he closed his eyes and felt the power in his body.

After completing another mission, the explorer returned from space. After being strengthened several times, he felt that he was really powerful at this moment.

According to my current progress rate, it is simply a matter of time before I can catch up with the Holy Seat!

Because of his great improvement in strength, Jiu Ming was full of confidence: Even catching up with Su Zhou may not be difficult at all!

And just when the dragon boy was having such delusional thoughts.

Along with a series of 'didi' notification sounds, a series of important news immediately appeared in his personal terminal.

Oh? Did something happen on earth again?

At a glance, Jiu Ming didn't think anything big would happen on the earth during the few months he left - before he left, the situation in the world was still very stable, and could even be called an ancient well.

Even if there is any change, it will definitely not be big.

But, that's it.

The dragon boy couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Huh? This is...

At the first moment, he saw new and strange words such as 'global competition', 'Galaxy Kingdom', 'new era' and even 'space development plan'. Jiu Ming blinked and thought he had seen it wrong at first. .

However, after he really carefully read the news in his personal terminal, the dragon boy was instantly stunned.

Ah?! This...

He murmured in astonishment, his tone full of disbelief.

Jiu Ming stared at his personal terminal, full of confusion and disbelief: This, this... I have only been away for a few months, right?!

How come the whole world has become like this?!
