Chapter 219
"It's ok as long as it's not dead."
Yan Que breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the cane beside him and carefully pulled out the cane sword.
The scabbard seemed empty.
At this moment, thick black fog poured out.
In just a few seconds, the black fog condensed and took shape, turning into the giant crow that everyone knew in the past.
"Fuck! It turns out that it has been in your scabbard all the time?!" Wei Nan stuffed a handful of shelled melon seeds into his mouth, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "I thought it had left you and ran away! I haven't seen it all the time..."
"It's always there."
Yan Que smiled weakly, then raised his hand to hug the giant crow, as if he was treating it as a toy doll, and kept rubbing his face against the giant crow's head.
"Fortunately, everyone is alive..."
"Someone died." Wei Nan reminded in a low voice.
"Who?" Yan Que was startled, subconsciously glanced around, and seemed to have found the answer quickly, nodded with a complicated expression and stopped talking.
Just then,
Chen Jing suddenly felt someone coming towards him from behind.
He looked back and saw that it was Xu Ye.
"Ah Jing, we're leaving first."
Xu Ye's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot, and she became the intellectual strong woman again.
She had her hands behind her back and a smile on her face, and her high heels left light marks on the grass.
"Are you leaving now?" Chen Jing didn't expect her to be so anxious.
"The sooner the better."
Xu Ye smiled gently and turned around to look in the direction of Yong Ye.
"The councillor said that Professor Armitage knows those ancient gods from the old days very well, so we want to see him quickly..."
"Revenge is not a matter of urgency." Chen Jing sighed, "It's not that easy to get rid of Gehlo."
"I know."
Xu Ye stood on the edge of the hill, facing the evening breeze, looking at the Yong Ye City in his memory, his thin figure looked a little lonely.
"I just want to get busy again so that I won't think about those painful things anymore."
Chapter 266: The Deep Space Awakener Exposed (Part 1)
When Xuye left, the pig herder and Yugui still seemed a little absent-minded, following behind her like zombies.
In the battle to encircle and suppress the First Bishop Sati, the two sheriffs were seriously injured, especially the pig herder, who was easily emotional and reckless. His whole body was almost pierced by the moonlight and turned into a honeycomb.
If Xuye and Yugui hadn't been trying their best to protect him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now.
Yugui's injuries were not as serious as the pig herder's, but most of the scales on his body had been peeled off. The bloody body exuded a strong fishy smell, and the pair of green snake eyes were jumping with silent murderous light from beginning to end.
The three of them did not say goodbye to Chen Jing and others.
After a simple farewell and taking care of each other, Xu Ye and his companions left the hills in the biting night wind.
It was late at night.
The only sounds that lingered in everyone's ears were the wind and the crackling of the campfire.
Wei Nan and Yan Que huddled beside Bai Aji and fell asleep, while Yegetos stood at the edge of the hills with a broadsword in his hand, keeping watch with the giant crows circling in the sky.
Ryan has not woken up yet, but he seems to have recovered well.
By the campfire.
Only Chen Jing, Chen Bofu, and Lawrence were still awake.
"Big Eyeball is lucky." Chen Bofu held the cigarette that Lawrence had lit for him, "That guy was sent to the wasteland for a mission, otherwise he would have been in trouble this time..."
"He will die." Lawrence seemed to know the "Big Eyeball" mentioned by Chen Bofu very well, and said with certainty, "Moonlight is his natural enemy. I guess when he saw Ge He Luo swooping down, he would have been "sunburned" to death by the oncoming moonlight."
"Big Eyeball?" Chen Jing asked puzzledly, "Who?"
"The sheriff who is lucky." Chen Bofu smiled, "Yu Kui and Zhu Guan can only be regarded as unlucky to encounter this... But you can't say that they are unlucky, at least these two guys saved their lives, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Jing understood who "Big Eyeball" was.
It is well known.
There are three sheriffs in Yongye City.
But only Yu Kui and Zhu Guan are willing to show up often, and they are almost the only ones who go out on missions and errands in Yongye City.
"Are you talking about the sheriff named 'Bai En'?"
"Yes, that's him." Lawrence nodded, "His nickname is Big Eyeball!"
"I have heard of this person, but I have never seen him and don't have any impression of him..."
"He is the commissioner responsible for collecting intelligence for the parliament. Although his body is stronger than the pig herder, he basically won't fight with others, so he spends most of his time hiding in the dark and spying..." Chen Bofu smiled and raised his hand to gesture, "His head is a big eyeball, so he has such a nickname."
"It's a pity that he's not here." Lawrence muttered He muttered, his expression gritting his teeth, "If he were here, I would definitely see him suffer in front of Gehlo. When I first entered the city, I was discovered by that bastard, and he led the way when I was hunted by the parliament..."
"Forget it." Chen Bofu persuaded, handing a cigarette to Lawrence, "It's been many years since the incident. Besides, if they hadn't chased you, we wouldn't have met by chance."
"Yeah, it's fate." Lawrence took the cigarette and threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lived so peacefully for so many years."
"Isn't it right?"
Chen Bofu asked with a half-smile.
"Are you trying to say that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been bullied for so many years..."
Lawrence shook his head and said that was not what he meant.
"Don't act stupid."
Chen Bofu suddenly reached out and put his hand on Lawrence's shoulder, with a smile on his slightly pale and sickly face.
"Even Xu Ye and Yu Hui can see it. I don't believe you can't. After all, my disguise should be useless against high-ranking descendants like you."
As Chen Boxu spoke, he lightly patted Lawrence's shoulder twice with his hand.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jing suddenly felt a little uneasy.
But before he could ask any more questions, Lawrence spoke.
"I can tell."
When Lawrence faced the old man, he no longer had the fear of the past and smiled calmly.
"You're useless, aren't you? Your life force has been consumed too much and you can't make up for it in a short time. So your current strength should have dropped to... similar to hers, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lawrence pointed at Wei Nan who was sleeping not far away.
"Sequence 3... is about the same..." Chen Bofu nodded, but did not deny Lawrence's speculation, "Although my Sequence level is still at 7, I have too much overdrawn vitality, and I am unable to use most of my powers anymore. If you use it, you might not even be able to defeat Yan Que."
Lawrence smiled and said nothing.
Yegetos on the side looked over, seeming to notice something, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the broad sword in his hand.
"So what do you think?" Chen Bofu asked with great interest, "Don't you want to take this opportunity to take revenge and beat me up to vent your anger?"
"I think." Lawrence nodded without hesitation, unwilling to show any hypocrisy at all, "I once wished that you would die early, but then, I felt that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today. You just have to settle your hatred for a while..."
"What about now?" Chen Bofu asked with a smile.
"You have a good grandson." Lawrence did not answer Chen Boxu's question directly. He just scratched the hole on his face. What he said was not a lie. "He is very good to me, and he is also a good grandson." The awakener of the deep space sequence, the blood descendant of the Yellow King..."
"Just figure it out." Chen Bofu patted Lawrence on the shoulder and whispered softly, "Although I don't know much about the history of the old days, I can tell from the reactions of Randolph and Francis.' The Yellow King is definitely not an ordinary King of the Old Ones..."
"He is the one who stands at the top." Lawrence nodded and couldn't help but lower his tone, "Or God."
"My grandson's future achievements may not be worse than his." Chen Bofu calmly tempted him, "You should know what it means..."
"So I'm still here." Lawrence sighed. "I originally thought that being crazy for half a lifetime would be enough, and it would be nice to live a leisurely life. But now I find that I was terribly wrong. I still have a heart to pursue fame and fortune. Heart..."
yes.
In this chaotic era after the old days.
What could be more rewarding than following a rising god?
"Grandpa...are you telling the truth..." Chen Jing looked at the old man in disbelief, his eyes turning red again, "Are you really..."
"It will recover later."
Chen Bofu sat up with difficulty.
Even though he didn't have much strength anymore, he couldn't help but want to comfort his grandson like before.
"It's also my fault that grandpa is useless and can't take care of you now. During this period... grandpa can't help you much."

【What the hell? ! Why did the candidate ranking list suddenly drop so many people? ! 】
[Who among you knows what happened over there in Yongye? ! I heard the teacher say that the breath of the ancient gods came from over there! ! 】

In fact, after Yongye City was devoured by Gehro, Chen Jing knew what would happen next, so he was not surprised at all when he saw these posts related to Yongye or himself in the forum.
Even when I first noticed a change in my ranking on the list.
He felt it was normal.

[Candidates’ Comprehensive Points Ranking]
【1】Hiltus.
【2】: Candidate No. 0, Chen Jing.
【3】: Candidate No. 1111, Li Mobai.
…
【5】: Candidate No. 730, Tsukano Koshiro.
…
【9】: Candidate No. 2333333, Qiao Youning.
——
The rankings on the list are not just based on individual strength.
Chen Jing and Li Mobai have talked about this more than once, and there are also the materials of the latter few as evidence. It is almost certain that... in the other world, there should be an "achievement point" system.
Just like Raphael, who rushed to the top of the list and surpassed all the candidates.
He may not be as strong as Chen Jingqiang.
But he must have gained more "achievement points" from everything he did than Chen Jing. After all, he actually participated in summoning an ancient god, and this ancient god actually came...
Chen Jing looked at the name on the list with an expressionless face, his seemingly calm eyes dancing with golden light.
Hate exists.
Anger is more.
