The farmer was dragged out of the underground palace by Xie Agui, which was still shaking.
Before that, he was frantically and futilely digging at the pile of gravel that had almost collapsed the entire tunnel. He turned a deaf ear to the shouts of Xie Agui and Kong Zhongwu.
Xie Agui helplessly stretched out his hand to pull him, but the farmer's strength was astonishing. He and Kong Zhongwu worked together to drag him out of the cave — — They faintly felt that there was something terrifying on the other side of the ruins that made them extremely uneasy. Although they couldn't find where Fourth Sister-in-law Dan was, the surroundings were still shaking, and gravel kept falling from above. It was obviously not a place to stay for long.
The two of them risked their lives to drag the struggling farmer out of the underground palace and threw him on the ground. The farmer's eyes were red as he roared and tried to run back. Xie Agui rushed up and kicked him in the chest. He then sat on him and slapped him four to five times in a row. After the farmer fainted from the slaps, he grabbed the farmer's collar and fiercely said, "Master is asking you a question!
Where is Fourth Sister-in-law? "
At this time, the farmer's crazy spirit had been exhausted. He stared at the entrance of the cave in a daze, "She … … she … …"
At this time, a blazing red cloud condensed into a blood-red river that soared into the sky from the mountain like a meteor, rushing in the direction of Lu Town.
Xie Agui and Kong Zhongwu sucked in a breath of cold air, almost stunned on the spot. They couldn't believe what they saw — — They were not unfamiliar with this blood-red light. Not long ago, the flying centipede that had sucked Xianglin Sister-in-law dry, broke out from her body and wanted to bite everyone to death, was killed by them together. Its body quickly withered, and only a blazing red light quickly flew away.
Later, they heard from Ah Chang that it was the life essence of Xianglin Sister-in-law Dan's Eight Distresses Sacrifice. After the flying centipede died, it was automatically attracted by the blazing Five Accumulations and traced back to the origin, and went to Lu Town.
But Xianglin Sister-in-law, Jiu Jin's old lady, and Hua Xiaoshuan were all dead. This blood-red rainbow … … who was it?
Kong Zhongwu and Xie Agui's faces changed dramatically. In addition to being shocked by the death of Fourth Sister-in-law Dan, this strange phenomenon was like a bolt from the blue for them — — Didn't Ah Chang resolve the threat of the Source Egg?
What was going on!?
Xie Agui's face instantly turned pale, and the veins on his hands bulged. He grabbed the farmer's collar even harder than before and shouted, "What happened?
Why did the Source Egg awaken!
Why did the Source Egg awaken!? "
He no longer cared about Fourth Sister-in-law Dan's death.
The farmer, on the other hand, stared blankly at the blood-red light flying towards Lu Town. His lips trembled and large drops of tears fell from his eyes. He seemed to see the weak little woman again. She was shy, introverted, and did not like to talk. However, at the moment when her life was hanging by a thread, she arranged everything properly.
She was always thinking for him. She knew that the flying centipede was about to break out of her body, so she pulled the large boulders in the tunnel and buried her body under a large number of rocks.
This way, not only could she perish together with the attacking liquid monster, she could also firmly suppress the mature flying centipede, making it unable to chase after the farmer. It would be trapped and forced to commit suicide, returning the life energy it absorbed to the Five Skandhas. This enormous power was bound to have a second impact on Lu Shu-jen, forcing her to devour this energy and not continue to awaken the Source Eggs in the other people's bodies.
This way, she could buy more time for the farmer to live … … Perhaps during this time, the hope of reversing everything would appear.
This little woman, even at the last moment, did not frankly express her feelings, but she had put all her feelings into a silent and great sacrifice. Even if she died, her last whispers, her last feelings and confession, the silent promise and love were forever engraved in the hearts of the two people. Even if the mulberry field became the sea, and the sea became the mulberry field again, everything would not be erased.
The farmer closed his eyes and tightly clenched his teeth. Bean-sized drops of tears continuously fell from the corners of his eyes. A silent but blazing flame burned fiercely in his heart. He had long passed the naive and hot-blooded time of his youth. The cruel reality had long destroyed him to the point that he was wooden and silent. He would not be agitated, had no courage, and could only resign himself to adversity. But at this moment, he seemed to feel a long-lost fire, a huge sadness, making him tremble, tormenting him, questioning him, and angrily rebuking him.
Let him wake up, let him open his eyes, let him straighten his back again, let him fight, let him determine who was right and who was wrong.
But … … but … …
The person who killed Fourth Sister-in-law, why was it … … was it her … …
Once again, he had to make a choice between two difficult choices. Once again, he had to choose whether or not to let her down. Who told him to be born in this world, to suffer, to make difficult choices.
He could only continuously, continuously, question himself, and also question that person, "Why … … why … …"
At this time, Xie Agui had already weakly released his collar, retreated two steps, and sat on the ground.
He did not need an answer. He was not stupid. He had already read everything he wanted to know from what had just happened and the farmer's expression.
How Fourth Sister-in-law died was not important.
Whether Ah Zhang was lying or not was not important.
What was important was that the crisis of the Source Egg that troubled them had not been resolved. The gangrene that could take their lives at any time, was still active in their bodies. It could break out of the Source Egg at any time, open its fangs, and kill them bit by bit, eat them bit by bit, and sacrifice them bit by bit.
He smiled bitterly, "So, we were all happy for nothing?
So, this is actually a scam, a joke? "
The farmer weakly nodded, tears flowing again. He said in a daze, "It's fake, it's all a scam. Whether it's the Source Egg or Ah Zhang, everything is a scam … …"
Even if they were mentally prepared, but when they heard such a reply, it still made Kong and Xie tremble. They looked at each other, fear and despair shrouding their hearts — — if everything was fake, if it was a trap arranged long ago, then it meant that everything here was within the calculations of that terrifying opponent, including their life and death, including Sun Lang's movements. In other words … …
Kong Zhongwu hopelessly closed his eyes, sighing, "Even after all the schemes and schemes, we still cannot escape this calamity?"
The farmer was still immersed in great sorrow and despair, tears flowing down his face, not saying a word.
Xie Agui sat on the ground, his face pale. The expression on his face rapidly changed, as if he had also sunk into great fear.
This man, who had shown extraordinary courage and uncompromising fighting spirit from the beginning, seemed to have lost his spirit and was scared out of his wits, unable to say a word.
Instead, Kong Zhongwu suddenly shook his head, "No … … the Source Egg in our bodies has not hatched yet. Do you remember what Ah Zhang said?
Sister-in-law Xianglin's blood light will directly return to the origin, and will attack the host of the five essences, forcing her to spend time accommodating and harmonizing this power. The rainbow just now was fourth sister-in-law's life essence. Now that it has gone to Lu Zhen, it will definitely buy us precious time … … "
He paced back and forth, a light returning to his eyes, "We have not lost this battle … … the only person we can rely on is currently going to Lu Zhen to find Lu Shu-jen to have a showdown. He may have also fallen into this trap, but don't forget, the reason he became a variable in this scheme is because he possesses great power. Even at this moment, victory and defeat is not clear. He still has the hope of breaking through with force and resolving this situation … …"
Kong Zhongwu turned around, first looking at Xie Agui, "... Old Xie, what's wrong?
This isn't like you. "
Xie Agui's face was pale as he sat on the ground, still not saying a word.
Kong Zhongwu frowned slightly. Could it be that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment? He had been full of hope and thought that he was saved, but the situation suddenly changed and despair returned. Was that why he couldn't think straight for a moment?
Dumbo Kong shook his head inwardly. Compared to Xie Agui, the farmer's situation was a little worse. He was clenching his teeth and crying, and must be extremely sad. He had to think of something … …
However, the moment he walked toward the farmer, he suddenly heard a fierce gust of wind behind him. Kong Zhongwu's alarm bells went off, but he was still one step too late. In that instant, several vital acupoints on his back had been swept like a pipa, and many of his body's acupoints were sealed. Then, without a sound, he fell to the ground.
Hearing that something was wrong, the farmer felt a pain in his chest just as he opened his eyes. His heart was filled with boundless grief and he had long lost his usual vigilance. Moreover, he was lying on the ground and was instantly ambushed, and in a few breaths, his acupoints were sealed as well.
Kong Zhongwu cursed loudly, "Xie Agui, you motherf * cker! What are you doing!"
Xie Agui stared blankly at the two men, and then spat and flashed a strange smile. "What am I doing?
Of course I'm going to live! "
Kong Zhongwu's acupoints were sealed and he didn't even have the strength to raise his qi to break through them. All he could do was force himself to glare at his former comrade and say angrily, "What are you doing?
Our only hope now is to hurry to Lu Town and find your master … "
Xie Agui retorted viciously, "Bah!
Find him?
With his leg strength, he's already in Lu Town and has stepped into that woman's trap!
What's the use of running over to curry favor now other than throwing your life away?
Motherf * cker, you're running back to Lu Town with an Origin Egg. Are you trying to save the Flying Centipede some time? "
Kong Zhongwu's life was now in his opponent's hands. "Fine, fine, fine!
I'm not going!
I'm not going!
Let us go and we can talk this out! "
"Let you go?
How can that be … "Xie Agui snickered." I want to live. If I let you go, how can I live? "
Kong Zhongwu struggled with all his might and shouted, "This isn't a joke!
Now that disaster is upon us, we have to work together sincerely, unite as one, and work together. Only then can we have a chance to live … "
"Unite as one?" Xie Agui threw his head back and laughed, revealing a mocking expression. "Motherf * cker, unite as one?
Who's the next to die?
Who's the next to awaken from the Origin Egg?
If we unite as one, we have to live and die together!
In the current situation, we can't live and die together!
Someone has to die first!
Someone has to die later!
Those who die later might be able to hold on until that man resolves this matter and live!
Tell me, who's going to die first?
Ah?
Who's going to die first? "
Kong Zhongwu said helplessly, "This isn't up to us to decide!
Now that disaster is upon us, we can only leave it to fate. Life and death are fated, we can't blame others! "
"Bah!
My life, my life and death, can only be controlled by me!
Motherf * cker fate! "Xie Agui said sinisterly." Fate?
Fate is that ruthless people can rise above others, those who don't care about their relatives can have great wealth, those who are ruthless can earn even more. This is the law of this world, this is motherf * cker fate! "
His gaze became deep and serene. "When I was thin and weak and nothing, one day, I met a vicious wolf at the foot of a mountain. It followed me from a distance and wanted to eat my flesh. At that time, I was scared to death, but I knew that if I ran or fell to the ground, as long as I showed a trace of fear, I would die. Therefore, I held a knife and tried my best to gather my courage. I bared my teeth and opened my mouth, making a desperate stance. Only then was I able to hold on until the end … I will always remember that wolf's eyes. They were so terrifying, so sharp, so cruel, but as long as you are more ruthless than it, it will be afraid of you. As long as you are ruthless, you can live!"
He looked fiercely at the farmer and Kong Zhongwu. "Therefore, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Kong Zhongwu shouted, "Old Xie!
Don't be stupid!
What if the Source Egg in your body was the first to hatch?
Not only did you die, but you also gave us two. Even if I go to hell, I won't let you go! "
Xie Agui laughed loudly and said sinisterly, "If you ask me, fourth sister-in-law is too soft-hearted, too kind, too cowardly!
When she sensed that the Source Egg was about to awaken, she should have decisively sensed its location, then cut open her own flesh and forcefully dug it out!
Even if her spine was injured, it was better than dying!
Do you think I don't have such decisiveness? "
Kong Zhongwu seemed to want to say something, but immediately thought of something and his expression changed. "You …"
"That's right!" Xie Agui laughed hysterically. "Do you remember what Ah Zhang said?
He said that the Source Eggs can't be taken out one by one. Otherwise, the moment they are taken out, the Source Eggs will die. The flying centipedes in the remaining Hosts will sense it and everyone else will die … Motherf * cker!
Motherf * cker, why do you think I restrained you? "
He laughed and laughed, his gaze ruthless as he looked at the two. "You said I shouldn't have restrained you?
If the Source Egg in my body awakens and I want to forcefully take it out, this action will directly lead to your deaths — — Will you stop me?
Ah, will you motherf * cker stop me?
If you don't stop me, you will die. If you stop me, I will die. Speak, motherf * cker, what will you do?
Who will you let die? "
Kong Zhongwu was speechless. Xie Agui laughed hysterically again. "Therefore, in this situation, I want to live. What's wrong with being ruthless and taking the initiative?
I want to live!
I don't want to die! "
He looked down at the two immobilized people and laughed sinisterly. "Out of the three of you, I have over sixty percent chance of winning. If I'm not the first to awaken the Source Egg, then I'll have won!
The Source Egg will hatch in one of your bodies. I'll watch everything happen. I'll watch as a centipede comes out and bites the other to death, absorbing the other person's life essence. When he absorbs two portions, I'll go up and kill that centipede!
The impact of these two portions of energy rushing towards the five essences will definitely be much greater than before!
This way, I will be able to buy more time!
Who knows, I might even be able to create a good opportunity for my lord to act! "
He chuckled coldly, "In the worst case scenario, I can still forcefully break open my spine and take out the Genesis Egg when it's my turn. Even if I lose my martial arts, even if I hurt my body, I have saved enough money over the years. As long as my master has a little conscience, a little guilt, he will help me settle down, send me to the city to settle down, buy some loyal servants, buy some property … I won't have to worry for the rest of my life!"
Kong Zhongwu finally fell into despair when he heard this. He laughed bitterly. "I thought you were muddle-headed, I didn't expect you to have already thought everything through … to be able to think of so many things in such a short time …"
Xie Agui looked at Kong Zhongwu and the farmer, his tone becoming gentler. "The line between life and death has nothing to do with good or evil, only with survival. I want to live, so I used this method. Don't blame me.
After this, I will definitely worship the two of you and burn incense all year round. Do you have any last words? "
