What's Around Me

Chapter 550 Rejection

"Brother, brother, there is something wrong with his situation!" A voice that seemed a little impatient shouted.

"Oh? Let's go and see Gangluo first." Long Luo, the head of the Four Fighting Gods, nodded. Those who broke into Penglai Island in advance have some skills. You must know that when Penglai Island disappeared, it was cut off from the outside world. It is only when the enchantment is weakened that the state of 'non-existence' will become existence. Before that, even the former ones would not be able to set foot in this place.

You can only invade after the enchantment on the island is weakened.

But now someone has come here ahead of time, and they are still acquaintances... No, according to the passage of time from the outside world, it is already 50 years later. If it is a monster, it is normal for the appearance to remain unchanged for 50 years. Among the people inside is a familiar face, a witch who entered here by mistake.

It's just that the person next to the other party is not the half-demon who was branded by them, so normal human beings can keep their appearance unchanged for 50 years?

That witch... I'm afraid she has degenerated into something like a black witch.

In any case, it is not so easy to enter the island and want to leave.

Next to Penglai Island, a huge turtle monster let out a low growl from time to time, with a spear stuck in its neck, Long Luo stared at the spear, and jumped directly onto Gang Luo's body. The spear was pulled out, and some patterns he hadn't seen were engraved on the spear, and there were some very dark power attached to it.

It is this kind of power that makes Gang Luo's wound continuously flow black blood. The small wound is expanding and deteriorating. Even the demon power can't get rid of this harmful power. Long Luo tried to use his hands After touching it, the finger that touched the wound felt a tingling pain.

"This kind of power needs to be cleared away with a purifying power." Long Luo, who felt the trouble, said, stretched out his hand and patted Gang Luo who was howling in pain: "Be patient, we happen to have someone who can get rid of it." Something of this power."

It will take a long time for the wound on Gang Luo's body to completely kill him. Of course, if he is left alone during this period, although he will not die, he will gradually become weak, so it is better to clean up the wound in advance , At the same time, it is just to beware of the first hand. The weapon of the black armor man can have such a big impact on Gangluo, and the damage to them will not be too small.

It is necessary to come up with some countermeasures in advance. After all, those two people were able to break into Penglai Island before it was opened.

"Fireflies." Zheng Yichen, who was walking with Kikyo, looked at some fireflies by the river. With urbanization, fireflies are not common in his original world, but no matter how rare, the fireflies touched during the day are also... rare?There are quite a lot of them here, Zheng Yichen stretched out his hand, and a few fireflies would take the initiative to come over, circle around them twice, and then disperse separately.

Kikyo looked at these fireflies with a heavy expression.

"Let's end things on the island after you find someone."

"it is good."

Kikyo didn't say anything more, and the two decided what to do next. Although Zheng Yichen could ask more questions, he didn't ask directly at this time, and he knew some things very well.

It's not difficult to find someone, whether it's the tracking paper crane released by Kikyo, some drone equipment used by Zheng Yichen, or even the Rubik's Cube girl who changes the tool Rubik's Cube, all have the ability to detect living things, but the people on this island There are few living people...

"Only six?" Zheng Yichen looked at the six little ghosts who were staring at him warily. Maybe it was the black armor on his body that scared them, so the snacks he took out were no longer useful. If it wasn't for a very friendly witch standing beside them, they would probably run away directly.

These children who are not purely human know Kikyo, so when they looked at Zheng Yichen, they seemed a little puzzled. In their impression, the person who followed Kikyo here was a white-haired half-demon, not such a black lacquer Urushi, no, she should be human. In 50 years, according to the lifespan of a human, she would have aged already, right?

The outside world is not like here on Penglai Island. The passage of time is different from the outside world. Even humans can live together with monsters for a long time here, so these children and half monsters quickly made a formula in their hearts. I'm afraid I'm not a serious person anymore, so I need to be careful!

So they looked at Kikyo's expression of looking at acquaintances and became wary.

"...Are you the only ones left on the island?" Kikyo asked softly as if she hadn't noticed the vigilance of these half-demon children. The six half-demon children and the older ones were carefully protecting them. Looking at the youngest half-demon child.

"Well, are you really that witch from back then?" the oldest among the half-demon children asked cautiously, she still couldn't let go of Kikyo's unchanged appearance.

"It's me, this time I'm here to end some of the things from the past." After confirming that there are only a few people left on the island, Kikyo directly stated his purpose. Judging from the environment and buildings around them, There were many people, monsters and half-monsters living on this island back then, but now there are only six left.

Although it is not clear why those monsters specially kept some half-demon children, but there are only such a small number left, and those monsters cannot let them go.

"Four fighting gods? Huh~" The oldest half-demon girl exhaled slightly: "I have a request."

"Tell me." Zheng Yichen asked before Kikyo could speak. The half-demon girl introduced herself. Her name is Qian Cong, and she is the oldest among the remaining half-demon children. They all have four buckets on their bodies. Only the youngest half-demon child present did not have the imprint left by the god, and they could not leave the island because of the imprint on their bodies.

The reason is that the roaring cauldron related to this island has been polluted by the Four Fighting Gods, causing problems with the barriers on the entire island. Although the original effect is still there, they, the branded half-demons, cannot leave here If you can't leave here, you can only wait for death, and the final result is that the four fighting gods will be thrown into the cauldron of roaring and burned...

"So please take the blue belt away. If you can enter Penglai Island in advance, there must be a way to leave directly."

"Well, then what can you give?" Zheng Yichen glanced at the youngest little girl, folded his arms and asked, several half-monster children immediately fell silent, the environment on the island allowed them to survive normally. Stress, but that's it, no gems and nothing else of value, something handcrafted?

People may not be able to see it, special props, the core of the entire Penglai Island is the cauldron of noise, can that thing be regarded as a special item?But that thing has been polluted by the Four Fighting Gods, except for the enchantment covering the island, the biggest role it plays at other times is to use them as firewood.

They can't seem to get anything out.

"Look, you can't get anything out. If we take her away, the Four Fighting Gods will also conflict with us, so don't think too much about it."

"...Yes, is that so, I understand." Qian Cong said dryly, willing to help is due to love, not willing to help is due, this black armor man himself does not know them, and has no friendship, Why take the risk to help them?

"You rest here for a while, I'll go to another place to see." Zheng Yichen put away the helmet he was wearing with the suit armor, revealing his face covered by the helmet.

"En." Kikyo nodded. There is no one else on the island. It is enough to be optimistic about these children. As for the remaining Four Fighting Gods, they may not be Zheng Yichen's opponents. She still needs to stay here to learn more about this The secret of the island.

"Hey, this is where we live. You let your girlfriend stay here just after rejecting our request. Are you embarrassed?" The half-demon boy named Cheng yelled at Zheng Yichen.

"So? Don't eat what I left behind later."

Several half-demon children couldn't help looking at the pile of snacks left by Zheng Yichen. Although they didn't know what those things were, they looked delicious?

"..."

"Leave directly like this, be careful to be killed by the four fighting gods." Another half-demon child named Lu whispered, no matter how delicious the food left by the other party was, he directly rejected their request and still let the People are a little concerned, although there is no problem with the reason for the other party's refusal.

They didn't ask too much here, they just asked Zheng Yichen and the others to take away one person, instead of asking them to completely solve the island's problems, and they didn't even want them to have additional conflicts with the Four Fighters. Whether God will anger them or not, they don't care about that anymore.

"The cauldron of noise and the maiden on the island, can you tell me more?"

"Why..." Looking at Kikyo's calm expression, Cheng pouted slightly: "Well, it's not something that needs to be kept secret anyway."

Several half-demon children told me about the Narrative Cauldron and the deeds of the witch named Zuo Ji on the island. The time of Penglai Island is different from that of the outside world. According to the time of the outside world , People here can live for a long time, including the priestess Souhime on the island. Every 50 years, this place will be invaded by monsters who covet the cauldron of noise. Most of the invasions are solved by the priestess Souhime.

Until I met the Four Gods, and then the island became like this.

Qiancong looked at the direction where Zheng Yichen left, and then at Kikyo who was listening to those stories, she hesitated to speak, she always felt that things were not that simple, Zheng Yichen did reject their request, but since he came to this island, he must There will be some purpose, right?Like some humans yearn for immortality?Or do you covet the power of the Crying Cauldron like other monsters?

Chapter 560

No matter which purpose it is, it cannot be realized in the current state of Penglai Island, right?If you want to live forever, staying here is enough. There is an enchantment of time on the island, and if you want the power to shake the cauldron, you must confront the Four Fighting Gods.

If you don't have these two purposes, what are you doing here?travel?

She couldn't help but looked back at Kikyo again, seeing the gentle smile that this gentle priestess showed to the youngest Lan, she resisted the urge to ask additional questions, she was afraid that if she asked, it would completely break her heart some fluke...

"The rumbling cauldron? It turned out to be a stove." The location of the rumbling cauldron was easy to find. Following the temperature change, Zheng Yichen found it here. There were thick vines entangled on the huge cauldron. Going forward, Zheng Yichen He reached out and knocked on the entrance of the Crying Cauldron. It felt quite solid, but it shouldn't be difficult to forcibly destroy it.

So should we dismantle this thing?

Of course not, Zheng Yichen wants to have a better understanding of this thing than to dismantle it directly, and solve some additional problems by the way. All the four fighting gods on the island have been killed. I can study casually, anyway, the last survivor on the island was easily found, and the Four Fighting Gods didn't mean to intervene additionally.

Zheng Yichen thanked them for their self-confidence in advance. The most taboo thing in fighting is to restrain your hands and feet. Now there is no way to restrain your hands and feet, so what is he waiting for?

Leaving the place where the rumbling cauldron was, he found an open place and took out fireworks made of explosives. After setting them on the ground and lighting them up, he found a hidden place, set up the protective barrier, and set up the gun directly!

He is not one of those fighters who like to fight openly and squarely. There are many enemies, and he can take away one of them first.

"What happened over there??" The explosion of dynamite and fireworks in the distant sky attracted the attention of the half-demon children. Kikyo looked at it together, and was silent for a moment. Okay, Zheng Yichen is still quite self-sufficient in doing things. In my opinion, she just learned about some past stories on Wanwan Island, although the half-demon children don't know all about some things.

But after analyzing this information, she can also analyze the situation of the Four Fighting Gods. They must have specific needs for burning those half-demon children. The connection, but the details, the half-demon children are not clear.

"No way? That person won't be provoking the Four Fighting Gods, right?" Cheng opened his eyes wide, and looked at Kikyo in disbelief. Did they really come here with the Four Fighting Gods as their target?Why didn't you want to?Of course, the dominance of the Four Fighting Gods on Penglai Island is too shallow, and they have no intention of resisting the Four Fighting Gods, let alone outsiders have the extravagant hope that they can kill the Four Fighting Gods.

But now is there really someone who dares to provoke the Four Fighting Gods like that?

Among them, the timid half-demon girls couldn't hold back their expressions. This was because of fear, fearing that the Four Gods would be completely enraged because of this, and then transferred their anger to them afterwards.

"Sister Kikyo, is that really the case?" Lan, the youngest, looked up at Kikyo with the same fear in her tone.

"That's right." Since Zheng Yichen made the first move, she directly admitted the matter.

"...It would be nice to just take Lan away, I have to challenge the Four Fighting Gods." The half-demon boy Lu stuffed a bag of snacks into his mouth. He had never eaten such a delicious food before, and now he hastened to eat some. Now, let's see what happens next, since someone has challenged the Four Fighters, if the Four Fighters really want to vent their anger, they will be more energetic when they are full and desperate.

"Don't worry, we are not the main target." Stretching out his hand and gently touching Lan's head, Kikyo withdrew his gaze, and there was no other monsters approaching around. Zheng Yichen was very close to the Nailing Cauldron. The Four Gods of Fighting are undoubtedly more important. If there is any abnormality, you have to go there to take a look first.

I'll think about it later.

The soothing tone calmed down the half-demon children. She looked at another place. The monster hadn't come over, but she vaguely sensed another spiritual force. The reason for the distance was not obvious. But very familiar, like looking in a mirror, what is it?

These half-demon children needed to be looked after, so she suppressed the idea of ​​going over there to have a look.

"That's right, it's this kind of power. Next, you just need to get the Jade Box!" Seeing that the deteriorating power attached to Gang Luo's neck was purified, Long Luo showed a satisfied smile. It was the preparations they made back then to regain their true power, and thanks to that time, a witch with powerful spiritual power came to Penglai Island.

Otherwise, they will only have more and more headaches in the future. In order to fight against them, the witches on the island took away their power and sealed it up. The Jade Box and the witches that store the source of their power Zuo Ji threw them into the cauldron of noise together, and it would be difficult for that thing to come out after entering.

Moreover, their power will be burned by the fire of the red lotus. If they force it in, they will not be able to open the jade box due to their state. Without the source of their power, their final fate will be to disappear. Affected by their power, as long as those half-demons are burned, they can recover some power to maintain their own existence.

However, the number of half-demons on the island is limited, and if they can't solve their own problems after burning them all, they will disappear completely.

The clone made from the witch's blood that Gangluo absorbed back then is used here. They don't need to enter the cauldron of noise, they just need to put the clone of the witch with powerful spiritual power in, find the Jade Box and put it Open it, and their source of power will return. This replica is purely a one-time consumable.

In order to ensure the quality, this replica body took decades to make. A lot of time has accumulated spiritual power, so that her spiritual power will not be inferior to that of the original master. It is a pity to consume it as a one-time consumable. , but being able to restore strength and ensure that one's own existence does not disappear is the main thing.

It was easy to purify the deteriorating curse that he found troublesome. This kind of power is enough to withstand the fire of the red lotus in the roaring cauldron to complete the task. As for the intruders who broke into Penglai Island before?Don't worry now, wait until the source of strength is found before they are completely eliminated, even in the future.

Then they can really enjoy the 'welfare' of the roaring cauldron. Now burning the half-demon is to restore the power to maintain existence. When the source of power returns, if it continues to burn, it must strengthen its own power. How to find More demigods?Is it difficult?In addition to taking the initiative to look for it, spread the news of Penglai Island, a paradise that belongs to the half-demon.

Those half-demons didn't take the initiative to send them to your door?

As long as no one can get out alive, the other half demon will not know the truth here.

"Hahaha, I finally don't have to endure this kind of pain that seems to disappear at any time!" Beast Luo couldn't help laughing wildly when he heard Long Luo's words, and a red-haired stern man sitting in another place couldn't help it either. Zhu Zhu chuckled, from now on, the hard days are coming to an end, and Zuo Ji didn't expect that the way of her own death would be cracked like this.

Even now, the clothes worn by this replica witch are all left by Suo Ji.

When they were happy, the sound of the explosion at the place where the Navigating Cauldron was located made them highly concerned. The Navigating Cauldron was not indestructible, and if it was destroyed, it would be difficult for them to find the Jade Box.

"Let's go and have a look!" Long Luo's smile dissipated, and he approached the place where the exploding fireworks were with a face.

Except for Gang Luo who is too big to move around the island normally, the other three gods of the Four Fighters are all in human form, and they soon came to the place where the fireworks exploded. Luo couldn't help but look at his weapon. This weapon was snatched from a monster called Qi Tian back then. It can shoot out monster-power cannonballs, which is quite easy to use.

And the fireworks tube on the ground is similar to the Qitian Cannon in his hand.

"Is it the two people who broke into the island before? To attract our attention on purpose?" Ji Luo looked at the fireworks tubes left on the ground, glanced in a certain direction inadvertently, and the replica of the witch followed. , but did not show up right away, the main reason is to be careful and make no big mistakes, and to be on guard.

"Hmph, we don't need those half-demon children anymore. What's the point of such a trick?" Beast Luo patted his weapon, kicked the fireworks tube away on the ground, and exploded on the spot!

The high-intensity explosion completely submerged Beast Luo, and the roar was suppressed. However, as a monster who can make Miko Souji seal power with life, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and this kind of explosion did not directly kill him. Destiny, after the explosion disappeared, the bruised Beast Luo roared, opened his eyes wide and looked around, trying to pull out the person who harassed him and eat him alive!

"Is it actually a trap?" Ji Luo didn't expect the enemy to use this method. If the intensity of the explosion was higher, Beast Luo might be in danger, but the enemy seems to have underestimated their strength, and Beast Luo was only slightly injured. , this trap is meaningless if you don't die.

"Although it is in human form, its physical strength ranks in the middle among the monsters it encounters... Okay." Zheng Yichen, who was in the hidden magic barrier, looked at the state of the beast, and quickly adjusted his bullets. It would be good to kill the opponent. , if he couldn't kill him, he took it as a test of the target's strength and added an extra shot.

In the past, it was not so easy to operate, but now with the isolation of the magic barrier, he can create an atmosphere that is a trap, giving himself a better chance of assassination.

Ji Luo, who was thinking, sprayed a stream of blood from his forehead, and lay down with a face full of astonishment. The blood splashed from the ground behind him was fan-shaped and blooming, a pattern of seeing off the dead.

Well, this is the supplementary gun.

Chapter 560 Take it Alive

With one strike, Zheng Yichen's position was exposed even with the concealment of the magic barrier, a figure quickly approached him, a sword tore through the barrier barrier he had set up, and a strong sword wind swept towards him Coming over, Zheng Yichen swung the sniper rifle in his hand and shot back, and the sound of crunching metal twisted sounded.

Seeing that the gun had been deformed under the pressure of the sword wind, he simply gave it up, and his figure quickly blended into the environment. Although it seemed a bit stupid to be invisible in person, as long as his own ability is sufficient, the effect is still good. , at least the enemy can't use their eyes to finely capture his traces, which can produce a certain interference effect.
