Time in a collapsing world

"Then we're almost done here. Captain Alicia is also watching the fighting scene... Oh! Don't grab it...!"

The picture on that side was switched to Alicia's face, and on the other side, Eden also took over the communication and smiled at this side.

"Then we'll come over right away, Eden. Do you want to make a bet on whether they can deal with that big butterfly before we go there?" The two communication screens were held by a team member with two hands. Alicia Talk to Eden on the other screen from your own screen.

"There's no need to get over it, Li...Xi and the others' battle is coming to an end, isn't it?"

Eden watched the battle scene through the screen. Teofel was already on the back of the Honkaimon, no matter how hard it shook it off, while Li took advantage of this opportunity to swing his scythe several times in one second, killing him. The two large wings of Honkaimon were cut into pieces, leaving only the caterpillar-like main body, which fell to the ground with a "bang", squirming helplessly.

"Huh~ so fast?" Alicia felt pity.

"Haha... Ellie, let's focus on our work. If he is the first to finish and return to the hotel, I can ask the chef to prepare extra snacks for him."

"Although the snacks are also very good, I still want a bigger reward. For example... the first place will have the right to command for one day for the last one to arrive?" Alicia had another bad idea.

"'Xi' won't agree, right?"

Eden shook his head helplessly.

"Just kill it first and then play it~?"

"..."

In the end, Alicia's evil purpose failed to succeed, and Eden rejected it and hung up the communication. Alicia muttered, "Obviously Eden would have been very supportive of me before," and then hung up.

In the center of the battlefield, Li looked at the Honkai Beast that had fallen to the ground and lost its wings. She watched it slowly squirm, and after seeing that it had not turned into a cocoon for a long time, she silently lowered her guard.

You can't turn into a cocoon without wings... Fortunately, it's not as difficult as you thought.

"Big brother……"

"Ok?"

"Sister Theofel's saliva is drooling a lot..."

"..."

Only then did Li realize that at the edge of her perspective, Teofel's saliva was flowing all over the floor like a waterfall. It couldn't be wiped off no matter how hard it was wiped. It was extremely exaggerated.

"Cough cough!"

Li coughed, and Teofel was startled. He quickly closed his eyes and mouth, and pinched his nose to prevent himself from being tempted again. Only then did he stop drooling.

"Brother, does this look delicious...?" Xi asked puzzledly, thinking that Theophel would be very interested in food such as insects.

"maybe."

Li answered vaguely. He didn't understand Teofel's thoughts either. Maybe Honkaimon's recipe was so strange?

In any case, the emperor-level Honkaimon has been captured alive, and the extra bonus has been obtained, which can improve Xi’s life. How lucky~

GuluGulu————

Just when Li turned around and left, wanting the team members to restrain Honkaimon, a strange sound came from behind, coming from within Honkaimon.

The body that was originally squirming like a caterpillar suddenly stopped moving and became stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was like a stone, with powder falling from it, and large cracks appeared.

"?"

Before Li could react, Honkaiju's body suddenly exploded, and purple "plasma" was sprinkled all over him. The next moment, a longer shadow appeared from the "blood mist" and burrowed toward the ground directly below.

"Cough cough cough..."

Li stuck out his tongue, and he accidentally ate a little of the liquid that just burst out, and suddenly felt nauseous.

"It tastes so bitter..."

Xi also felt it, and her tone was a little aggrieved.

"Sorry, sorry... I didn't expect that guy to have such a last resort..."

After waving away the "blood mist", the team members also ran up. They first took a look at the tunnel where the Honkaiju dug a hole to escape, and then asked about the conditions of Li and Theophel.

"I am fine."

Li shook her head and looked at Theophel, and found that although she was also stained with "blood stains", she was not very angry. Instead, she had a satisfied smile, and the purple liquid dripping from the corner of her mouth... She wouldn't Did you take advantage of the chaos and eat it secretly?

Judging from the previous shadows, Honkaimon should have degenerated on its own in order to escape, turning from a butterfly into a caterpillar, burrowing into the ground and escaping.

But even so, there was no wreckage that should have been left behind, only purple liquid on the ground.

Li narrowed her eyes and looked at Theophel. He tilted his head and looked innocent, but the remaining evidence of guilt in the corner of his mouth gave her away.

So Li pointed at the corner of his mouth. Teofel stayed there for a while and then silently turned his head, wiping it quickly before anyone else noticed.

"That thing on the corner of Sister Theofel's mouth is...?"

It's a pity that Xiko, who shares Li's vision, is difficult to hide.

"Honkaimon's blood stains, right? It was stained from the explosion just now."

"But it seems to be flowing from the mouth..."

"Did you accidentally eat it? Didn't we also eat a lot?"

"But……"

"Don't worry about that kind of thing, we should focus on the escaped Honkaimon now!"

"Yeah, that's the case..."

Feeling that the suspicion in Xi's heart was slowly suppressed, Li felt relieved and went to the pothole with the team members to observe the situation inside.

"So deep..."

At least Li couldn't see the whole thing at a glance.

"What a pity. I thought I could catch an emperor-level Honkai Beast this time..." Someone lamented. If they participated in such an operation and succeeded, their bonuses would not be small.

"Well... Actually, I just shot a transmitter on it. Although it can't display the depth, the position can still be confirmed..." a team member said, and handed an instrument to Li, which showed a red Click a white dot, the white dot is in the center, and the red dot is slowly moving away from the white dot.

"Well done, go back and ask Eden...sister to give you extra food!" Li gave this clever team member a thumbs up.

"Uh...yes."

It felt a little weird to be praised like this by a girl younger than me.

"Continue tracking. It just so happens that the direction this guy is heading is an area we have not explored."

Just because it exploded all over him this time, Li didn't want to let it go easily.

"""yes!"""

Everyone continued to follow the instrument. Li took a few steps and looked back at Teofel, who was in a daze for unknown reasons. "Let's go, otherwise I won't wait for you."

"……it is good."

Theofel opened his mouth, then suddenly covered it and turned his head away, preventing Li from seeing his face.

"..."

Thinking that there were leftover food scraps, Li waved her hand, ignored her, and continued walking forward.

When Li's back was no longer visible, Teofel let go of his hand and pulled out a few white threads spit out from the depths of his mouth. After confirming that there were no residues, he quickly followed.
