Chapter 383 'The Game of the Ancestral Gods' to the Source
An elegy dressed in black robes was moving among the ruins.
The fight between the two high-level beast kings caused extremely serious damage to the originally quiet mountain forest, and to be able to survive the destructive force of this storm was a blessing among misfortunes for Elegy.
"Those guys...are they still alive?"
As he continued to move away from the center of the disaster, Elegy's heart was shrouded in great uneasiness.
No one could have predicted that the situation would develop into such a dire situation:
The "main chess" she relies on, Shui Longyin, was stolen and replaced midway. What's even more incredible is that the initiator is the source of the power of the legendary sacred mountain - the inviolable existence in the mouth of the Virgin: the ancestor god!
In her concept, the ancestral god is the source of power of the sacred mountain and the common support of all the disciples of the sacred mountain headed by the Holy Mother! It is a powerful, mysterious, and transcendent supreme existence.
However, these long-term accumulated cognitions were almost overturned because of what happened just now.
In an extremely absurd way, her belief was shaken...
All this is thanks to Qianlong Wuyong!
This prince who has been soaked in the official dye vat, a mere human license holder, dares to challenge the rule makers? Offend that incredible existence... In the eyes of Elegy, these are tantamount to hitting an egg with an egg against a stone. Not only will there be no benefit,
It will also drag others to hell.
That's the rule maker! The source of power from the sacred mountain!
Who would be stupid enough to confront such a being?
Elegy is puzzling, and in the end it can only be explained by Qianlong Wuyong's extreme personality - because of his extremely narcissistic personality, he was unable to make rational decisions about the current situation.
She could completely predict the outcome of this farce, the consequences of not using Qianlong... Of course, this is not important.
The important thing is, where should she go?
In this competition for the crown prince, she has lost her backbone. As a deputy chess player, she cannot control the direction of her own survival.
Is it really better to follow Qianlong than to hit an egg against a stone?
Or, wandering and gasping for breath in this sacred mountain that is both real and illusory...
"It's better than being killed for no reason."
A decisive sneer appeared on the corner of Elegy's lips:
"No matter what happens, the Holy Mother will intervene..."
So she finally decided: take the opportunity to escape from this place, and on the premise of protecting herself, she and the Qianlong Buyong team were completely separated!
Although this does not mean there is a better way out, follow Qianlong and do not use this "madman" action, the consequences will be disastrous.
By this time, she had reached the level ground. Looking back in the direction of the battlefield, the shocking destruction seemed to have subsided.
Elegy didn't dare to delay, so he prepared to take advantage of this wave of calm to escape as soon as possible.
However, just when she was about to spread her wings and fly away at the fastest speed, a dangerous aura suddenly invaded her senses, sending a chill down Elegy's spine!
Sha Jin, standing in the shadow behind the elegy.
The long and narrow venomous tail hook passed under Dirge's legs, raised at an angle, and touched Dirge's throat lightly and accurately.
"The game isn't over yet, where are you in a hurry to go?"
Listening to Sha Jin's almost cold tone, Elegy's pupils tightened.
Too careless!
The chaotic thoughts in her mind and the chaotic environment caused her to neglect her surroundings. She did not expect Sha Jin to be so persistent, and in this chaotic situation, she still adhered to her duty as a "secondary chess player".
"Don't be impulsive, Brother Sha Jin. I just follow the instructions not to use Qianlong and stay away from the battlefield." Elegy, who was already controlled by others, naturally did not dare to act rashly.
"Is it?"
"Of course, do you think I have any other choice?"
"You'd better think so." Sha Jin slowly retracted the tail hook.
He was facing Elegy's back and had a favorable advantage. He expected that the other party would not try extreme behavior.
However, just after the scorpion hook left the key point of the elegy, a strange guttural sound filled Sha Jin's sense of hearing!
Strong pessimism instantly enveloped Sha Jin, causing his thoughts to turn to depression and laziness, which in turn made his desire to fight gradually on the verge of collapse.
But Elegy quietly turned her cheek, and before Sha Jin could react, she was already several meters away and distanced herself from Sha Jin.
"...You really have a different intention." Sha Jin looked at Elegy attentively.
At the same time, the poisonous scorpion tail hook pierced his own skin, forcing himself to regain consciousness with the venom!
"I have no intention of being your enemy, Brother Shajin, I just want to live!"
Before Sha Jin pounces again, Elegy has established a sound barrier, aiming to slow down Sha Jin's offensive while quickly stating his position:
"Hey! You have also seen that my main chess piece, Shui Longyin, has no hope of competing for the crown prince. There is no reason for me to stay here and be driven by your main chess piece."
"Besides, Qianlong's move is too bold. He has already offended the most untouchable character in the game. I think that continuing to follow him will not bring good results. As a colleague, I advise you to understand the situation clearly.
Make plans early!”
After hearing this, Sha Jin stopped where he was and was silent for a long time.
In the end, he still showed his weapon towards Elegy: "I'm sorry, letting you go will only increase the risk of this 'game'."
"Do you still believe that Qianlong Wuyong can seize the storage position and escape from here alive?"
Elegy showed an expression of hatred for steel:
"This man doesn't even pay attention to the person who made the rules of the game, and you're still following the rules for him? That's crazy... Okay, then I'll pour some cold water on you to make you sober up!"
As the words fell, the tension between the two immediately became tense.
"Wait a minute~"
At this moment, Ayiguli's charming and sultry voice rang out between the two, giving the imminent conflict some room for change.
Then, Ayiguli appeared next to Sha Jin.
"How could you?" Sha Jin was slightly startled.
Ayiguli smiled and opened her palm. After a while, two tiny creatures that were extremely difficult to detect bounced up from the collars of Elegy and Shajin's sleeves and fell neatly into Ayiguli's palm.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
The situation could not be clearer.
"The battle just now was too scary. I was worried that everyone would get separated, so I made preparations in advance." As she said that, Ayiguli winked at Sha Jin beside her, "You don't mind, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sha Jin's originally stiff face suddenly became even stiffer, and he couldn't help but swallow.
This reaction made Ayiguli giggle again.
On the other side, Elegy, who was still somewhat confident at first, finally gave up the thought of winning in danger.
But she still did not give up arguing: "Ayiguli, even now, are you still unwilling to accept reality?"
Ayiguli looked at Elegy and said with a smile: "Reality? This is a sacred mountain! There is only illusion, where is the reality?"
"If this continues, Qianlong will kill us all if we don't use it!"
Elegy interrupted:
"Even if he is the person you have invested your expectations in, I have to say that this person is very dangerous now! He is going against the entire rules and dancing on the edge of a knife. You know what I mean!"
Ayiguli chuckled lightly and was about to retaliate when a sound breaking through the air from above successfully attracted her attention:
The familiar figure suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the center of the three people's sights. It was Jiang Qian.
"Dancing on the edge of a knife, your metaphor is very good, but it has the wrong object."
Jiang Qian slowly turned his face and looked at the confused Elegy:
"I'm not going against the rules. The one who breaks the rules first is the so-called rule-maker in your mouth."
"Jiang Qian!" Ayiguli was pleasantly surprised and looked at Jiang Qian with eyes filled with admiration.
Sha Jin was equally surprised.
The battle of the Beast King has indeed ceased. At this moment, Jiang Qianqian appears here freely, which shows that the battle of the Beast King not only does not involve him, but is even under his control.
However, the elegy that had been plausibly just now was broken into a cold sweat by Jiang Qian, who fell from the sky like a god of death!
If Ayiguli and Shajin still have a chance to be separated from each other after joining forces, then now that the main chess player is present and the morale of the army is stable, she has nothing to do.
There was still a large amount of turbid blood stuck to Jiang Qian's body. Of course, most of the blood did not belong to Jiang Qian, which made him look even more surly and terrifying, making people afraid to look directly at him.
And what Jiang Qian said, as well as his strange temperament at the moment, also made Elegy unpredictable, or maybe he didn't dare to think deeper!
Elegy endured the noise in her head and tried her best to save her out-of-control expression, but she couldn't resist the feeling of despair that was swallowing her up bit by bit...
Jiang Qian walked towards Elegy unhurriedly.
This calm before the storm, and the slow suffering that followed, deepened the panic of the elegy.
She finally gave up her struggle and fell to the ground, choosing to accept her own outcome in a situation where she could not win.
But the next second, she realized she was wrong.
Jiang Qian stopped in front of her and stretched out his right hand towards her: "Stand up and speak."
This was completely unexpected from Elegy.
Looking at Jiang Qian's outstretched hand, she wondered several times if it was her imagination? Or if it was another way of leading to death.
Ayiguli and Shajin looked at each other and saw confusion on each other's faces.
At present, no one can understand Jiang Qian's thoughts.
"I know the fate of betrayers... Let's do it, why are you still acting like this?" Elegy glanced up at Jiang Qian, lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile. His tone was as if he was bragging for himself.
"Do it?"
Jiang Qian smiled and retracted his outstretched hand, looking down at Elegy calmly: "Do you want to die?"
This kind of reaction makes Elegy even more uncomfortable.
"No offense, your death is of little value to me."
At this time, every word Jiang Qian said sounded like a humiliation to Elegy's ears. This was based on Elegy's misunderstanding of Jiang Qian's thinking mode.
"Otherwise, what else do you want?!" Elegy finally lost control of her emotions.
All the changes she has experienced, camp alliances, covenants torn up, being forced to become enemies of the rule makers... all of this is thanks to the other party!
Obviously, as a deputy chess player, I have no choice, but now I am in a desperate situation, and even "seeking death" has to be criticized?
She was also a proud Holy Mountain Saint, one from a thousand. At the moment when she selected her crown prince, she also imagined the grand occasion and grace when she would be lucky enough to succeed as the next generation of Holy Mother!
If God fails to fulfill one's wishes, will Qianlong Wuyong trample even her pride and self-esteem?
The corners of Elegy's eyes were filled with blood, as if he could unite all his thoughts at any moment and fight to the death.
Jiang Qian also noticed this.
But he remained calm and calmly responded to the elegy's confusion:
"It's not what I want, it's what you want. Let's put aside the discussion between you and me for the moment. After leaving us, how can you ensure that you will not become a victim of the game?"
A victim of the game...
All the emotions of the elegy were frozen in this moment, muted.
She suddenly understood the implication of Jiang Qian's words and sobered up: Shui Longyin who was inexplicably dropped, You Mulan who died mysteriously, including Jiang Qian who was almost stabbed out from the game, before they were treated unfairly, they also
They are all participating in the competition following the rhythm of the game, and there is no behavior that crosses the line.
Even so, they will still become targets of sacrifice, or even be eliminated inexplicably without warning... So what confidence does she have to protect herself?
wishful thinking.
When she came to this conclusion, Elegy breathed a sigh of relief and her whole body went limp. She realized how ridiculous her argument just now was.
"There is one fact that I hope you can understand: whether you accept it or not, this game has deviated from its original direction. The fact that the rule maker can take the initiative to break the rules he set is the best example."
"Since the rules can no longer protect us, whether it is me, you, or others, they may become victims at any time. Can we reach a consensus on this?"
Elegy listened blankly to Jiang Qian's statement. Only when he heard the last question, he nodded subconsciously.
Jiang Qian's calmness and patience made her shake her initial judgment at the moment: she overestimated her own judgment and underestimated Jiang Qian.
"Since we are on the same boat, let's stand up and talk." Jiang Qian stretched out his hand towards Elegy again.
Elegy raised his head in surprise, looked at Jiang Qianyun's breezy face, stared deeply into those unruffled eyes, and whispered: "What is the condition...?"
No one will simply forgive a betrayer.
Elegy is more willing to believe in practical reasons than those high-sounding words.
"Based on the contract props, play with me through this unruly game."
Jiang Qian’s answer was straightforward:
"Go and find out the source of the accident and find out who our opponent is. This decision is very dangerous and may cost you your life at any time. But I think this is probably the way to have the best chance of landing safely."
Ayiguli and Shajin looked at each other, then looked at Jiang Qian.
Their eyes have also become different, a little less confused and a little more determined.
After a brief silence, Elegy chuckled: "Everyone on the left and right is risking their lives. It's better to be a sober ghost than a confused ghost."
After speaking, she mustered up the courage to hold Jiang Qian's hand, and stood up easily under the strength of the other party.
"You are right, to win this game, we must be very clear-headed."
Jiang Qian used the words of elegy to focus on the current main contradiction:
"The most important question we need to figure out at the moment is the purpose of the ancestor god: why does he interfere in the competition for the crown prince, and what does he want to get from us?"
"Also, what is the root cause of the misalignment between us and the ancestors?"
Jiang Qian said, looking at the three people in turn:
"I need you to give me all the information and answers you can think of from your own perspectives."
