Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?
#57 - Chapter 57 The Figure at the End
He Lu's dim eyes gradually brightened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Zheng Kang?!"
Li Chenqiu looked back and saw a thin young man with delicate features limping towards them.
The young man looked like he had just crawled out of the water, his wet hair plastered to his scalp, and the horizontal blade in his hand was covered in blood.
This person was Zheng Kang, who had been swallowed whole by the giant earlier.
"Is he also from the An Tong Division?" Li Chenqiu asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." He Lu nodded excitedly, grabbing Li Chenqiu's arm and struggling to stand up.
Li Chenqiu heard this and glanced at the two of them indifferently, a hint of imperceptible killing intent flashed in his pupils, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
If he killed these two, the An Tong Division would definitely send even more powerful people, it would be better to keep them and take advantage of the situation, and confuse the other party's investigation direction.
Soon, Li Chenqiu helped He Lu to Zheng Kang's side.
"Are you okay!" He Lu excitedly grabbed Zheng Kang's arm: "I'm sorry, I caused you to be eaten by the giant..."
"It's not your fault, Uncle He, I was just careless, but fortunately my ability is good at defense, the giant couldn't do anything to me." Zheng Kang forced a weak smile.
Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the headless corpse, and at the stomach of the corpse, there was now a bloody hole.
"Phew~" He Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."
"Uncle He, I want to ask, these..." Zheng Kang looked around blankly, and inadvertently glanced at Li Chenqiu, his eyes full of curiosity.
He Lu sorted out his thoughts and explained: "It's a long story, earlier..."
...
In the time that followed, He Lu told everything that had happened earlier.
And Zheng Kang's expression changed from blank at the beginning to doubt, then to shock, and finally to bewilderment.
"Ah?" Zheng Kang took a few steps back, looking Li Chenqiu up and down.
He had fought against the giant, and that kind of strength was not something that a First Order could match.
Looking at the entire Federation, probably only those one-in-a-billion geniuses, plus Xuan weapons with terrifying stats, could wipe out the giants.
"Don't be too surprised, I just used some tricks." Li Chenqiu said modestly.
"Uh... okay." Zheng Kang nodded blankly.
"By the way, you guys..."
Just as Li Chenqiu was about to inquire about the Disaster Water, a "glug glug" sound, like the peristalsis of intestines, rang out in front of him.
He Lu and Zheng Kang were the same.
The three looked at each other, and then turned to look in front of them.
A few seconds later, strange wriggling red letters appeared out of thin air.
[Congratulations to everyone for collecting five keys, the direction of the altar is clear, wait]
When Li Chenqiu finished reading the last word, the red letters disappeared into the air, disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, at the moment when the red letters disappeared, Li Chenqiu turned to look in the direction of the red moon, and he felt something attracting him in that direction.
He Lu turned to look at Li Chenqiu, and then looked at Zheng Kang: "Did you also feel something very attractive in that direction?"
The two nodded without turning their heads.
"Time is of the essence, let's go over there quickly..."
Before Zheng Kang could finish speaking, He Lu grabbed his arm and scolded: "Go over there to do what, to die?
What state are you and I in now? I'm a cripple, you're half a cripple, what do we have to fight against those Resurrected?
"But..." Zheng Kang pursed his lips unwillingly.
"Now that Xiao Ye's whereabouts are unknown, we can't even protect ourselves, what are we going to fight for, what are we going to do to stop those Resurrected?" He Lu's face was gloomy.
Zheng Kang didn't speak, and silently turned his back, obviously agreeing with He Lu's decision.
After convincing Zheng Kang, He Lu looked at Li Chenqiu and said seriously: "I, He Lu, will remember this kindness, if I can leave here alive, I will definitely repay it, you... the Resurrected are treacherous, be careful."
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu's eyebrows lowered uncontrollably.
This was not good news for him, the situation was still unclear, he didn't know if the Mirror Man mentioned in the rules would appear, no one knew where the exit of the Underworld was, and everything in the Underworld seemed to be shrouded in mist.
All Li Chenqiu could do was to put the uncertain factors by his side, and let himself judge the life and death of these uncertain factors according to the situation.
So he couldn't let these two people leave his sight, if they insisted on leaving, then he would be forced to kill them.
After figuring this out, Li Chenqiu shook his head, his eyes full of determination: "I won't abandon you here, now there may be only three of us humans in the Underworld, the rest are all Resurrected.
The chances of you two dying without me are too great, so come with me, I will protect your safety."
"This..." He Lu didn't expect Li Chenqiu to say that, and widened his eyes unconsciously.
Zheng Kang, who was standing aside with his back turned, also turned around in surprise after hearing this.
A trace of hesitation flashed in He Lu's eyes, but he finally shook his head: "Forget it, the two of us will only be a burden to you, you..."
"Protecting you is just a matter of convenience, it's not a burden, don't waste time, let's go together!"
In the end, under Li Chenqiu's persuasion, He Lu and Zheng Kang nodded and agreed.
The three of them walked towards the direction of the red moon together.
...
...
This is a flat open space, with no undulating hills or special trees.
But it is not accurate to say that it is a flat ground, because the middle of this land is abruptly cut off by a long abyss. The incision is flat, as if it was cut out by some sharp weapon.
On the left side of the abyss, there is a bridge similar to a city wall, connecting the east and west sides.
The bridge is 100 meters wide and over 10,000 meters long. The railings on both sides are built with stone bricks, and the ground is paved with bluestone bricks, like a wooden stick lying across the abyss.
As time slowly passed, a group of people appeared on the eastern flat ground, and these people were the Resurrected from the Underworld and the New World.
Under Li Chenqiu's pressure, Horse Face and Shen Yuanguo temporarily put aside their past grievances and joined forces.
"The altar should be on the other side of the bridge, are we going to cross the bridge?" Horse Face's face was solemn, and at the same time, he kept observing the surroundings, guarding against Li Chenqiu's appearance.
Shen Yuanguo shook his head, his tone hesitant: "There is a lot of fog on the other side of the bridge, and we can't see anything. Will we encounter any danger if we rush over? Why don't we wait for Li Chenqiu to cross the bridge before we go over?"
"Then have you ever thought that Li Chenqiu will block us at the head of the bridge after crossing the bridge?" Horse Face asked rhetorically, and seeing that Shen Yuanguo didn't speak, he continued to add: "Let's go, at least we can seize the opportunity."
After speaking, Horse Face took the lead and led the Underworld people towards the bridge. Although Shen Yuanguo had some concerns in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and followed.
Compared to the unknown danger, he was more afraid of the known Li Chenqiu.
At the same time, in the vast fog at the end, a thin figure leaned lazily on the railing, as if waiting for something.
If Li Chenqiu was here, he would definitely find this figure very familiar.
