Chapter 259 Driving and the Heartbroken Girl
Night falls.
Chen Sheng, who was in the cave, slowly opened his eyes.
Several hours passed.
Until now,
Only then did he finally reach his best state after the upgrade.
Five parts of power are stored in the body again, and each part of the power is one-third stronger than the previous one.
Now Chen Sheng, if he releases all these powers.
The strength attribute alone would reach a terrifying twenty-four thousand.
And the authority of thunder, which has a share of 30%, has once again increased its ability to increase the body's power.
It can directly double Chen Sheng's basic attributes.
Plus the authority of water.
The strength attribute is thirty thousand.
At this time, if you activate the Xuanwu Transformation again,
That’s three hundred thousand.
This number has greatly exceeded Chen Sheng's expectations.
He couldn't imagine what kind of damage a force of three hundred thousand could cause.
It is also unclear whether this level of attributes is enough to crush Zun Lao and everyone on Xiang Li's side.
Chen Sheng picked up his phone and opened WeChat.
It has been a day since Suzaku last sent a message.
Think for a moment.
He decided to ask about the situation in Kyoto.
Finished sending the message.
Chen Sheng put down his phone.
His figure shrunk rapidly, and he was already in a state of withering in the blink of an eye.
No matter what the situation is in Kyoto.
Chen Sheng didn't even intend to give up on cultivation.
The more powerful it becomes,
When facing the enemy, Chen Sheng becomes more confident.
The sound of the sea of thunder echoing inside the cave.
over time.
The state of decline and prosperity changes back and forth again and again.
It made him more familiar with the surge in physical strength after upgrading.
The power that naturally escapes from the body is gradually able to be contained.
No more overwhelming situations like those in the morning.
Another hour.
Within the Holy Religion base area.
More and more quiet.
Most of the Holy Cult personnel will return to the city during this time.
Only a small number of people responsible for transmitting information live here.
But in order not to disturb Chen Sheng.
Unless there is an emergency, most members of the Holy Cult will try to keep the noise to a minimum when moving or speaking.
But today.
Chen Sheng's ears twitched slightly.
There were footsteps within his range of perception.
The footsteps were extremely cheerful.
Compared to the cautiousness of the Holy Cult personnel.
It seemed that the owner of the footsteps didn't care that Chen Sheng heard the noise he made.
Or maybe,
She didn't even realize that Chen Sheng could hear her voice from far away.
It wasn't until the footsteps came nearby that they gradually slowed down.
Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the cave.
Behind the rock wall, a head quietly poked out, looking into the cave.
The visitor is none other than a cactus.
Compared with other areas of the base, all areas are equipped with wall lamps or candlelight.
There were no lights in the cave where Chen Sheng was.
Most of those who can join the Holy Cult and are qualified to meet Chen Sheng are warriors with a certain level of strength.
The so-called night vision has no obstacles for them.
Light is a thing, dispensable.
only,
The physical attributes of cactus are not much stronger than those of ordinary people.
In the darkness, she couldn't see whether Chen Sheng was in the cave.
He didn't dare to speak rashly for fear of disturbing Chen Sheng.
"come in."
Until Chen Sheng spoke up.
A smile bloomed on the girl's face.
She lifted up both sides of her skirt and trotted towards the depths of the cave according to the direction in her memory.
Came to Chen Sheng.
Cactus's nose twitched slightly.
When she heard the familiar question, she jumped directly into Chen Sheng's arms.
"Um?"
"Why have you lost weight again?"
Today, Chen Sheng is in a withered state, and his body has shrunk by more than half.
As soon as the cactus touched it, I sensed something was wrong.
She moved closer like a puppy, smelling the scent of Chen Sheng.
There is nothing wrong with the taste.
But why does it get bigger, smaller, and thinner again?
"Are you looking for me?"
It is too troublesome to explain my own cultivation.
Chen Sheng did not answer, but instead asked about the cactus.
"Of course this is it."
"You forgot to take it last time."
Chen Sheng didn't say anything.
Cactus asked no more questions.
She raised her palm and waved it slightly in front of Chen Sheng.
On the slender white knuckles, there was still a black ring that was transformed into a little black clone.
Chen Sheng's face showed surprise.
Yes.
He absorbed the soul power of Xu Jian and others last time, and was eager to return to the base area to make a breakthrough.
I forgot that the cactus also had soul power that had not yet been absorbed.
at this time.
As the cactus arms sway.
The ring gradually liquefied and merged with the small black body on Chen Sheng's finger.
Not long after.
The heat flowed into Chen Sheng's body along his palm.
Compared to the previous two harvests.
The power of the soul this time is not that great.
【Soul: 13.7】
Only 1.5 soul power is provided to Chen Sheng.
but,
After all, the cactus worked hard to collect it for himself.
Chen Sheng naturally wouldn't say much.
Hesitate briefly.
Chen Sheng stretched out his palm and gently stroked the cactus' head.
"Thanks."
Just a simple thank you.
The girl was immediately elated.
She narrowed her eyes and took the initiative to rub Chen Sheng's palm.
If a pet cat is petted by its owner.
However,
Chen Sheng said the next sentence.
But the cactus's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"Now the Society of Gods and Men has been destroyed."
"It's time for you to return to your normal life."
The implication couldn't be more obvious.
Chen Sheng didn't want to keep the cactus with him.
Whether it is now or in the future.
The enemies he encounters will only become stronger and stronger.
If Cactus continues to stay by his side, he will only encounter various dangers.
These dangers only slightly affect cacti.
The outcome was probably that Chen Sheng was too late to save him.
therefore,
Even though he didn’t have a bad impression of the girl in front of him.
But Chen Sheng,
I don't intend to accept the other party at this stage.
Uh-huh!
The words fell.
Then he saw the cactus raising his head and looking at Chen Sheng.
in the dark.
Chen Sheng looked at the girl in front of him, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.
"You don't want me anymore?"
Cactus's voice was trembling, with a hint of crying.
It would be said that Chen Sheng had no disturbance in his heart.
That's a lie.
But he didn't relent.
"I'll help you treat genetic diseases."
"You help me collect the Celestial Being cells."
"You and I have written off everything and owe nothing to each other."
"You don't have to stay with me anymore."
Chen Sheng did not express his unwillingness to put the cactus in danger.
Because such a statement will only make the other party more determined.
It is better to regard the behavior between the two parties as a transaction.
"But didn't you save my life yesterday?"
"Then I still owe you one more debt, right?"
Cactus said weakly.
"I won't disturb you."
"I just want to be by your side, okay?"
She hugged Chen Sheng gently.
Rub your cheek against your chest.
In words.
Full of prayers.
"You and I have not known each other for a long time."
"Everything I do is for myself, and I don't need you to repay me."
"Go ahead."
Said.
Just like yesterday.
Chen Sheng gently picked up the cactus and placed it in front of him.
The girl tried to struggle.
Unfortunately,
Her power was so weak in front of Chen Sheng.
There was no pause.
The cactus was carried directly in front of him.
"Go ahead."
Chen Sheng said again.
The words just fell.
in the dark,
Suddenly the girl's sobbing sounds were heard.
"I have no one else."
"You're all I have."
Growing up, Cactus didn't understand what family meant.
Parents hate themselves.
When I was in school, my teachers and classmates also hated me.
When she was in the orphanage, no one was willing to play with her except Diamond, a little follower who needed her protection.
Good to leave the orphanage,
Cactus works odd jobs and occasionally wanders on the streets, often competing for food with other homeless people and even stray cats and dogs.
She only protected others.
He has protected younger beggars, or people and stray animals who are weaker than himself.
But I have never experienced the feeling of being protected.
family,
For the cactus.
It is even more out of reach.
Diamonds are good for her though.
But Diamond has his own family.
The other person had a good life before the genetic disease occurred.
Cactus doesn't want to disturb Diamond's life too much.
Only Chen Sheng,
After its appearance,
For the first time, Cactus experienced what it felt like to be protected by others.
What it feels like to have a sense of security, to have someone you can rely on.
but now,
A few words from Chen Sheng.
It broke her heart again.
The cactus has already disguised himself and seems not to care about anything.
Back to childhood again.
Back to the days when I huddled in the corner and cried, watching my parents quarreling and beating each other every day because they complained about each other, and complaining about their own existence.
She is superfluous to her parents.
But she really doesn't want to be the redundant one anymore.
"."
Faced with the girl's crying prayer.
Even Chen Sheng.
I couldn't help but tremble inside.
But I just realized this.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes and suppressed the surging emotions again.
Open your eyes again.
"Go ahead."
This is the third time Chen Sheng has said this.
"."
finally.
This time.
The cactus prayed no more.
She lowered her head and stood there for a while.
"I see."
a long time.
Only then did a faint voice sound.
Put your hands into your arms.
In the darkness where you can't even see your hands.
Cactus took two steps forward and gently placed the Xuanwu Token in front of Chen Sheng.
She opened her mouth.
He seemed to want to say something.
finally,
Or choose to turn around and leave.
After deciding to leave.
The cactus didn't stay any longer.
soon,
His figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
"well--"
Chen Sheng looked at the Xuanwu token on the ground.
He rubbed his brows and sighed.
He didn't mention the Xuanwu Token at all, he just wanted Cactus to keep the token so that he could protect the other party in times of danger.
This is better.
This woman gave it to herself.
After all, Chen Sheng is not a stupid person.
He didn't want the cactus to be around him, but he just didn't want the other person to be in danger.
But one of the little girls was alone outside, and Chen Sheng was still a little worried if she didn't take any protective measures.
Think of this.
Chen Sheng raised his palm.
The next second.
Dense purple thunder kept jumping out of the body and rushing toward Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei can not only swallow thunder, but also store thunder and use it to kill enemies.
Xiao Hei once showed such ability in the Sealed Land.
It took more than a minute to instill.
Until Xiao Hei sent the signal "I'm full, I'm full".
Chen Sheng just stopped.
Subsequently,
He held out his arms.
Knuckles.
The black ring gradually separated and turned into huge water droplets and fell to the ground.
This drop of water is half the size of Xiao Hei's body.
Its memory is filled with the purple thunder that is now more powerful after transformation.
Plus Xiao Hei's own strength.
Even when facing enemies at the level of the Four Saints, he can save the life of the cactus.
"Go ahead."
"Stay with her, protect her, but don't let her see you."
"Stop anyone who tries to threaten her."
"Kill them all."
Chen Sheng looked at the water drops on the ground and ordered.
The words fell.
Whoosh!
Xiao Hei's clone instantly shot towards the entrance of the cave and bounced between the rock walls, chasing straight towards the cactus.
Seeing this,
Chen Sheng finally felt relieved.
He looked at the phone.
There was no reply to the message previously sent to Suzaku.
Chen Sheng was not in a hurry.
He closed his eyes again and entered the state of soul consciousness.
As the power of the soul is growing day by day.
Relying on the KuRong Bible, he gradually adapted to the pain of the sea of thunder washing over his body.
it's time to,
I started trying to transform the body parts related to agility attributes.
——
Based off the ground.
Cactus walks slowly in the dense forest.
After leaving the Holy Cult base, she walked slowly, but also for a long, long time.
now,
It is even approaching the outskirts of Bianchuan City.
She no longer held up her white skirt.
Let the skirt touch the ground and be stained with dust.
Before,
Because Chen Sheng thinks it looks good.
I bought four sets of skirts of the same style as Cactus.
When wearing it, I take great care of it, for fear of getting the skirt dirty.
but now,
The white dress has lost its value.
Cactus naturally didn't bother to pay attention.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Anyway, it's not the first time I've been abandoned.
While walking,
Cactus comforted himself in his heart.
She recalled being abandoned by her parents.
I was younger and weaker at that time.
But I am not alive until now.
At best, it's just back to square one.
The girl forced a smile on her face.
But tears still couldn't stop dripping from his eyes.
finally,
She couldn't hold back any longer.
He squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
"Why are you crying if you are stupid?"
At this time.
Suddenly a voice sounded in Cactus's mind.
Uh-huh!
The girl raised her head and looked around with tears in her eyes.
But there was no sign of any living creatures around.
"I'm the stupid one."
There was a tingling sensation in my fingers.
Cactus looked down, with a stunned expression on his face.
At some point, a black ring appeared again on her knuckle.
But didn’t he return it before?
"You are called, Xiaohei, right?"
"How did you-"
Cactus was still wailing before, but now she was a little embarrassed to speak.
Halfway through.
He was directly interrupted by Xiao Hei.
"fool."
"He told me to protect you."
Xiao Hei followed the cactus.
This female Homo sapiens cried all the way.
Xiao Hei felt a little numb.
Although Chen Sheng warned Xiao Hei not to be discovered by the cactus.
But as long as the result remains unchanged, the process probably doesn't matter, right?
should.
He in Xiao Hei's words.
Cactus naturally knew who he was referring to.
Cooperate with the appearance of Xiao Hei.
Chen Sheng's true thoughts couldn't be more obvious.
Ever since.
The girl's eyes gradually lit up.
"He is afraid that you are in danger."
"I don't really want to drive you away, let's go."
"But you can't go back."
"Anyway, I won't let you go back."
"When the time is right, we will meet again."
"Trust me, I will never lie to you."
Although Xiao Hei spoke, he was a little confused.
The sentence fragmentation is even more blind.
But Cactus can still understand the meaning of the other party's words.
"Is the master in danger now?"
There was a hint of worry on her face.
"Danger?"
"He is not in danger, only his enemies are."
Always by Chen Sheng's side.
What level of monster is my current master?
Xiao Hei understands very well.
He simply did not think that other Homo sapiens could cause harm to his current master.
"That's good."
Hearing this,
Cactus was immediately relieved.
Until now,
The haze in my heart was completely gone.
"I knew he had me in his heart."
The cactus head shook slightly.
I just feel like my heart has been completely filled with joy.
Although,
In order to avoid causing trouble to Chen Sheng, she could not stay with him for the time being.
But as long as you know that the other person has yourself in their heart.
For her, it was enough.
Think of this.
The girl lifted up her skirt.
He took steps again and trotted towards Bianchuan City.
pace,
Extremely cheerful.
