Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Qing smiled slightly, lowered his eyes to hide the nostalgia in his eyes: "Sister Nian, how could it be, I just lay down for too long, and my brain is a little numb."

The woman called Sister Nian smiled and said, "Of course I am numb. Do you know how long you have been lying there? A whole month! Everyone thought you would never wake up. I am glad you woke up."

Zhao Qing rubbed his forehead: "It's been a month? Is everyone okay these days?"

Sister Nian gently tapped Zhao Qing's forehead: "It's all good. Who would be so desperate as you? Don't do that again. You were lucky to be rescued this time, but you may not be so lucky next time. You can't deal with those distorted objects outside by just working hard on your own. To deal with them, we still need the scientists in the base to eliminate the radiation. Otherwise, the ones we clean up every day are not as many as the new ones that are created."

Zhao Qing listened to Sister Nian's rambling with a smile on her face: "I know, Sister Nian, I won't do it again in the future."

"We are relieved that you think this way. Okay, you take a rest first. I'll buy you some nutrient solution. You haven't eaten for a month. Sister Nian will bleed a little and buy you the best quality one! Don't..."

Sister Nian stood up while speaking and reached out to tidy up the bed that had just been wrinkled. Before she finished her words, her left hand was clamped tightly by a pale, thin hand with visible veins.

Sister Nian's expression did not change. Her right hand turned into a sharp spike and stabbed quickly. Zhao Qing kicked her three meters away.

Before Sister Nian landed on the ground, Zhao Qing's figure had already rushed in front of Sister Nian and hit her in the chest. Sister Nian's entire chest was blown up. There was no trace of flesh and blood in the wound. Willow branches were entangled and squirming, and the chest with wood chips flying all over the sky was visibly recovering.

Sister Nian looked up with a heartbroken expression, and her pretty face looked even more pitiful, making one want to take out his heart just to make her smile.

"Xiao Qing, I'm your sister Nian! We have known each other for more than 20 years and grew up together. Do you still remember the wonderful time we had training at the base?"

Zhao Qing's eyes flickered, and his thoughts were pulled back to the most relaxed period of his life. At that time, the soldiers who were selected through genetic screening were most worried about not completing today's training tasks and what to eat during the rest time. The raging war outside the base had nothing to do with these little kids. All they needed to do was grow up well, which was the biggest help.

Sister Nian, who was lying on the ground, seized the opportunity, and her limbs transformed into willow branches that instantly wrapped around Zhao Qing. At the same time, one of the willow branches turned into a sharp wooden thorn and pierced Zhao Qing's heart.

A metal heart guard appeared out of thin air on Zhao Qing's chest to block the spikes. The attack failed, and the willow branches wrapped around Zhao Qing's body exerted force without hesitation.

The whole space was quiet for a moment, and then there was a loud noise, and Zhao Qing, who had just been completely wrapped up, appeared in the same place unharmed.

Sister Nian had disappeared long ago, and all the willow branches were blown into pieces less than the length of a finger joint. The walls of the entire room were full of pits and holes, and the wood chips were deeply embedded in the walls, with only a little tail left protruding outside.

A shrill scream seemed to come from the sky. The time and space in the room stopped for a moment, and then shattered like glass.

Zhao Qing opened his eyes and returned to the familiar mountain top. The willow monster's breath became even weaker. It was holding on to its last breath, determined to die with a clear mind, otherwise it would die with its eyes open.

It saw the entire confrontation between Zhao Qing and Sister Nian, and this human was not deceived at all from the beginning.

The Willow Demon didn't believe that there was anything wrong with his ability. The illusion he created was not based on low-level temptations of money, power, and sex. Instead, he selected the most unforgettable and desired obsession in the memory of the targeted object, and then created the entire illusion based on it.

People who are pulled into the illusion will lose their memories of the real world, completely merge into the illusion, and die in the most beautiful imagination.

The human in front of him had never been immersed in the illusion from the beginning. He was so hard-hearted that he attacked without hesitation the person he wanted to see most in his memory. Could it be that this person really had no heart?

"Human, why don't you show any signs of being confused? I asked myself if there were any obvious flaws in my illusion."

Willow Monster's weak voice came, and Zhao Qing explained in a good mood: "Since you made me happy, I can tell you that your ability to create illusions is indeed very strong. It's a pity that you met an opponent with stronger mental power like me. I knew it was an illusion from the beginning, but I do miss that scene, which is why I didn't break the illusion right away."

The Willow Monster laughed out loud, his voice filled with reluctance and a hint of sadness: "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! What a pity! What a pity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Willow Demon breathed his last. He was already seriously injured, and now he was suffering a strong backlash. He couldn't hold on any longer even without anyone else's help.

Xiaolu looked at Zhao Qing eagerly: "Master!"

Zhao Qing nodded. Xiaolu was overjoyed when he heard that. The entire vine quickly climbed up the willow monster and used all its strength to absorb the remaining energy of the willow monster.

The willow monster that had lost its life began to wither visibly, and Xiaolu's broken vine body regained vitality.

After all the energy was absorbed, the tall body of the Willow Demon fell straight down and broke into pieces on the ground. The roots in the soil turned into nutrients in the soil. Perhaps soon, this empty space would be covered with lush grass and trees again.

After Xiaolu absorbed the remaining energy of the Willow Monster, not only did his injuries fully recover, but he can now charge towards a higher level. Of course, it is a pipe dream to let Xiaolu's main body break through to the sixth level with only the body of a fifth-level Willow Monster, but it can allow Xiaolu's branch vine to be upgraded to the same level as the main body.

When Xiaolu was trying his best to break through, the subordinates who received the signal from the second in command finally arrived.

The leader saluted respectfully and said, "Mr. Wang, I will follow your orders."

The noise of the fight between the two sides made the second in command, who was sweating behind his back, feel emboldened. He straightened his clothes and emerged from his hiding place with a serious face.

The Second in Command waved his hand modestly and said, "Captain Wu, both of us work for His Highness, and it is fate that we can work together. In addition, you are also from my young master's mother's family, and we have such a close relationship, there is no need to be so polite."

Captain Wu relaxed his upright body and laughed, "Brother Hai said exactly what I was thinking, but military orders are as strong as mountains, and I just got transferred here. It doesn't matter how we interact privately. Once there is business, I still have to follow orders."

The second in command laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Brother Wu, that's right, we must have a drink after we finish this job!"

After the two of them had established a relationship, the second in command led the large force a little closer to the battlefield which had already stagnated. However, he had also seen how powerful Xiaolu was, so he did not dare to get too close to the battlefield.
