"Alright, Midori, since you're saying you're leaving, then hurry up and leave. Otherwise, if Liu Ziming and I regret it later and suddenly ambush you and knock down all your levels, it won't look good. It won't sound good if word gets out that you, with your high level, are bullying Liu Ziming. That's the end of what you two did today."
Chapter 493 An Encounter with the Thunder Pearl
After saying those words, Feng Chenyi left in a hurry. Liu Ziming was actually very grateful to Feng Chenyi for his help. If it weren't for him, the arrogant Mei Duli probably wouldn't have given up.
Liu Ziming knew he had made many enemies, and that long-buried memory was about to be unearthed, revealing his glorious past and making him a legend overnight. Perhaps only Liu Ziming could have done that.
At that time, he was invincible, which made him many enemies. Besides Mei Duli, Liu Ziming had several other enemies. These people had all reached a higher level than Liu Ziming through their struggles, so naturally Liu Ziming could not gain a foothold in this field and could only hide and survive in the cracks.
Of course, these are all past events that Liu Ziming is unwilling to mention. Even the Flame Elder did not know that the young man in front of him was actually the legendary figure who became a god overnight. Liu Ziming is humble in his personal life, but he will also practice in a high-profile manner. He is not convinced and does not admit defeat. Although there are many setbacks in his life, Liu Ziming chooses to face them head-on. After all, he does not want to become a laughing stock.
Then, looking at the two sleeping little ones, he knew that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. Before, he had always been a loner, believing that even if he was suppressed to the bottom of society, he still had the courage to climb up. It wasn't until he had these two adorable little ones by his side that Liu Ziming felt as if he was not fighting alone.
Even as you were asleep, you kept muttering "Liu Ziming" in your sleep, which probably means that Iris is about to evolve again. This little guy's evolution speed is 50% faster than Bai's.
Bai and Ellis are two spiders with completely different attributes. So when they transformed into human form, they were in different states. Ellis's hands were turning black, indicating that another layer of his skin was about to degenerate.
Meanwhile, Bai remained silent. Liu Ziming understood that nothing could be accomplished by being too hasty. Watching Iris and Bai sleeping so soundly, he too drifted off to sleep. "How did the former master end up hiding here? Are these two lowly soldiers your subordinates?" "Thunder Pearl, is that really you? What brings you here?"
"While that makes sense, do you think I would easily give up on you as a friend? I traveled all this way to find you, and you ask me why I came? Shouldn't you be thanking me and crying your eyes out?"
They ran to an endless boundary.
The Endless Border is a wonderful place, a peaceful paradise where Liu Ziming lived a tranquil life.
But how could these chaotic events in the spirit world easily let Liu Zimo off the hook? His status as a deified god displeased all the gods, which is why they were hunting him down.
Some people are even obsessed with hunting down Liu Ziming, after all, he is the first top figure in the industry.
Although he would be envied and resented by many people, Liu Ziming was unaware that he had been deified at the time. He was doing it out of necessity; if he hadn't been deified, he would have been completely annihilated.
Helpless, Liu Ziming had no choice but to submit to fate. Under the guidance of fate, Liu Ziming was made a god, and yet he was still made everyone's enemy. What a wrongful death!
"I followed you here by following your scent. You know I was born with a dog's nose. I'm glad you're safe and sound. If anything had happened to you, I would have felt really guilty."
"After all, I bear half the responsibility for your mistake back then. If I hadn't been so impatient and insisted you participate in that, the Wind God wouldn't have left you in such a miserable state, with nowhere to even stay but Tibet." "I've told you before, don't feel pressured being with me, and don't always blame yourself. It's quite a fate that we've met as friends. Hey, isn't that old guy next to me the legendary Flame Elder?"
“Hey, Thunder Pearl, you’re going too far. How can you call someone by their first name like that? Besides, he’s a senior. He’s just recovered his strength. If you can learn something from him, it can help you gain a lot of experience points. Although you’ve achieved more than me now.”
"But don't always talk to me with that arrogant tone."
Lei Tingzhu made a mischievous face at Liu Ziming. He was genuinely happy for Liu Ziming because of the two cute little spiders beside him. He turned to the little uke next to him and said...
“…] I see these two little guys are your seniors, you should learn from them and seek their advice.”
The little maid blinked his big eyes, seemingly understanding but not quite. When he looked at Thunder Pearl, Thunder Pearl was still full of hope. As his first master, he naturally received 100% of the little guy's sincerity.
"Young Master, why does your maid look so strange? Other people's maids are all pretty and delicate, but your maid is all bared teeth and has such fierce eyes, it looks like she's about to devour someone."
"Oh, what do you know? This is a shape-shifting beast that can transform into this form. When I first met him, he wasn't a little maid, nor was he wearing an ancient cheongsam. Now he's just trying to change his appearance to please me." Liu Ziming looked at Thunder Pearl with envy. This guy's fate is just too good. After Liu Ziming became a god overnight, Thunder Pearl got a green Thunder Paper.
This Thunder Paper could enhance Zhao's divine power, and overnight, both his cultivation and internal strength reached their peak, making his walking posture more powerful and resolute than before.
The two boys chattered away, and before they knew it, they woke up the old man next to them. When the old man opened his eyes, all he saw was darkness.
It turned out that he had fallen into an endless coma again. He was a person who was prone to coma, not because he was in poor health, but because some fragments of memory were troubling his current thinking. In order to retrieve these memories, the old man had no choice but to activate the mode.
"What are those two young men talking about here instead of sleeping at night?"
"Hello, senior. I apologize for bothering you. I am Lei Tingzhu, a friend of Liu Ziming. Have you heard of me? Although you may not have heard of me, do you know the legend of becoming a god overnight?"
Chapter 494 Sealed Fragments
Faced with such an exaggerated friend, Liu Ziming could only blush and bury his head so that the Flame Elder wouldn't see him. The Flame Elder completely understood that friends of Liu Ziming's age would naturally be a bit flamboyant, but he didn't expect that this guy named Thunder Pearl was not only flamboyant, but also had a hint of something unfathomable. First of all, his eyesight wasn't particularly good.
Thunder Pearl should be a celestial body, the ninth finger meaning it has eight older brothers. Although Thunder Pearl is the youngest, it does not hinder its growth. Despite some obstacles, Thunder Pearl resolutely left its territory and came to this ordinary land.
Because he met Liu Ziming here, he focused all his attention on Liu Ziming. In addition to supporting Liu Ziming, Lei Qingzhu also believed that Liu Ziming was an indispensable talent. At least in Liu Ziming, Lei Qingzhu saw his past efforts, which was very good.
Everyone has different troubles, including Lei Tingzhu. Although he has a high status and never participates in worldly disputes, Lei Tingzhu is indeed a very powerful character in this game. Fortunately, Lei Tingzhu has strong internal energy, and his skills can kill the opponent without leaving any armor.
"Liu Ziming and the little one, you two should rest too. We still have a long way to go tomorrow. Tomorrow we will arrive at the Flame Economy. You two need to be careful at all times, especially you, Liu Ziming."
Faced with the Flame Elder's careful reminder, Liu Ziming readily accepted it. Although he sometimes found the Flame Elder's words long-winded, what the Flame Elder said made perfect sense, after all, the Flame Elder had lived here for so long.
Liu Ziming felt that the path to advancement was a slow and patient process, not something that could be achieved overnight. Like after his sudden rise to godhood, he often felt lonely and empty, because ultimately, he had to master those things himself. "Hey, by the way, Thunder Pearl, what brings you here all of a sudden? Weren't you living freely in your celestial realm?"
"To be honest, Liu Ziming, I received a commission from above to escort someone. This person is currently here and wants to unite with me. He's a humanoid beast with a very long tail. Have you seen him?" "I haven't seen a humanoid beast with a long tail before. I did see a seed before, and this seed kept talking to me. I found it annoying, so I left it where it was." "Then, Liu Ziming, did that seed have tiger stripes on its back?"
"Yes, it does have a bit of a tiger-skin pattern. When I picked up the seed, it kept trying to talk to me, but I was too busy escaping the battle and couldn't do anything about it, so I had to leave it where it was."
"You know I've been harassed by some small monsters or enemies these past few days. They know I've reached this level, so they want to annihilate me in one fell swoop, or even devour all my levels. Only these lowlifes with such underhanded methods could do something so cruel."
Then he became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes even turned red. He couldn't understand why people couldn't accept someone like him becoming a god overnight, but could completely accept someone who had to endure hardship and toil to advance step by step.
Is someone like him really destined to become everyone's enemy? After Liu Ziming was deified, he did not obtain the legendary treasure, and the things that everyone was scrambling for were not in Liu Ziming's hands, so Liu Ziming felt that he was really wronged.
After Liu Ziming was deified, a memory was permanently hidden. If he were to unlock this memory, he would gain unexpected power. Naturally, Liu Ziming would not obtain this memory easily.
Liu Ziming was in excruciating pain. He was dizzy and wanted to sleep, but he didn't know what would happen to the Thunder Pearl after that. In his hazy state, Liu Ziming saw a monster. This monster had no head, and its eyes, nose, and mouth were all on its belly.
Liu Ziming knew that a book had once recorded this kind of monster, but he had forgotten its name, so he would just call it the Belly Beast for now.
This book is a very old book, a forbidden book that is prohibited in this kind of game. People who get their hands on this book usually don't have a good ending. This is something that Liu Ziming understands.
Liu Ziming only glanced at the book briefly before quietly returning it to the library. The librarian, thinking Liu Ziming was mentally ill, kicked him out as if he were illiterate.
Liu Ziming was extremely sad at the time. He felt that the monster in the book was somewhat familiar. This kind of monster was a rare species in the book. It was not like the common monsters that were numerous and everywhere.
In fact, Liu Ziming also made an unexpected discovery in the library. When he opened the book, a ring floated in the air. When Liu Ziming stretched out his hand, the ring landed on his index finger. It was just the right size, and it was glowing. This made Liu Ziming very happy.
This ring wasn't a powerful, bloodthirsty sword, nor was it an ancient ring that had been lost for a long time, as the woman from Shanghai looked like. Liu Ziming didn't know its name; she only knew that it was beautiful, so she wore it on her index finger with great affection and never took it off again.
Liu Ziming would observe the ring from time to time. Sometimes the ring would turn into a maroon color, and other times the gemstone on it would turn purple. In short, its appearance would change in many ways, which made Liu Ziming like it even more.
What Liu Ziming didn't understand was that only he could see the ring. Even the Flame Elder, who had been with him for so long, hadn't noticed the ring on Liu Ziming's index finger. The two little spiders also didn't know about Liu Ziming and sometimes suspected that the ring was related to the fact that Little Zhuzhu's human form was suitable for this ring.
He quickly dismissed the idea; after all, it was a ring. For a little spider to transform into human form, it would require considerable skill and cultivation.
It seems that Liu Ziming's efforts were not in vain; he gained two adorable children in return. Liu Ziming always treated Little Spider as a child, but Little Spider was growing up every day, and their thoughts were maturing along with it.
When he was able to open his eyes, he found two little creatures squatting beside him, watching over him. It was a truly blissful feeling. Liu Ziming had never felt so happy and joyful before. After all, having two loyal little spiders guarding him was such a delightful thing.
When I turned around, I found that both the Flame Elder and the Thunder Pearl were asleep, leaning against a big tree, looking like two people who hadn't slept in a long time, their faces full of exhaustion.
Liu Ziming knew that Lei Tingzhu had a heavy task. First, he had to escort the humanoid monster, but whether the monster actually existed was another matter entirely. He felt that Lei Tingzhu was someone who acted on a whim without ever thinking things through.
Chapter 495 Seeing Through the Plot
The humanoid monster looked just like the one Liu Ziming remembered—a headless creature with facial features growing on its belly.
As for why Feng Chenyiru wanted to escort the humanoid monster, that's another matter. Liu Ziming always thought Feng Chenyiru liked to joke around. How come they haven't seen the humanoid monster after all this time? "Feng Chenyiru, are you kidding me? You said you ignored me, the humanoid monster, but you blame others for your own actions?"
Feng Chenyiru spoke haltingly, and Liu Ziming saw that he was about to say something but then swallowed it back down. She really didn't know how long Feng Chenyiru was going to keep it from her. "You'll find out about this later. Telling you now will only put a psychological burden on you."
Liu Ziming couldn't understand whether he and others were somehow intricately connected. Why wouldn't Feng Chenyiru tell him?
Bai and Ellis saw through Feng Chenyiru's thoughts at a glance, but they chose to keep them hidden. After all, they couldn't reveal too much about their current skills, or they would attract criticism from others.
Ellis knew Feng Chenyiru's intentions from the start. On the surface, he said that Siye was just passing by, but Feng Chenyiru's real purpose was to follow Liu Ziming. However, Liu Ziming was too naive to understand the situation.
Because Feng Chenyiru discovered a river, and the location of this river is exactly where Liu Ziming is going, the two will naturally meet. In addition, after Liu Ziming discovers Feng Chenyiru, he will naturally be suspicious of him. Feng Chenyiru is just using the humanoid monster as a cover to deceive Liu Ziming.
This river is quite unusual. In other places, rivers flow in one direction, but this one is different. It has swallowed up a lot of the surrounding seawater and river water, so this river foreshadows the endless underground.
Ellis suspected that Feng Chenyi Ru's following of them was in search of the inexhaustible underground river. "Ellis, why won't you let me tell Liu Ziming the truth?"
"Our boss is already troubled enough; I don't want to add any more ripples to his ordinary life." "Please, Ellis, can't you speak normally?"
"To be honest, I don't want Liu Ziming to have too much trouble. Look how adorable he is, carefree like this. If he knew that the underground river was related to him, wouldn't he be living with self-blame every day?" "That's true, but it's still very unfair to Liu Ziming to deliberately keep this a secret!"
Ellis shook his head. His instinct told him that Liu Ziming couldn't know about this. He had to protect Liu Ziming's safety and consider everything for him. He couldn't easily tell the truth, and he shouldn't hurt Liu Ziming's self-esteem. He understood that it hadn't been easy for Liu Ziming to get to where he was today, and he didn't want to ruin the beautiful moments.
Iris didn't want to say it and there was nothing he could do about it. Bai had always thought that Liu Ziming would be an ordinary person, but all the signs told him that Liu Ziming was no longer ordinary. If he thought of Liu Ziming as an ordinary master, he would be making a big mistake.
Just as Bai was about to walk toward Liu Ziming, he was stopped by Feng Chenyiru. Feng Chenyiru had overheard their conversation. Feng Chenyiru was quite cunning. From the first time he saw the two little spiders, he began to suspect them, even believing that the little spiders had already crossed the barrier of their species, since they now thought about problems in the same way as humans.
"You two know so much! Since you know so much, why don't you tell Liu Ziming the truth? Are you afraid that Liu Ziming won't be able to accept the truth?"
"Feng Chenyiru, you really have a lot on your mind. You were actually eavesdropping on our conversation here. You said you came for the humanoid monster, but I don't think so. You're supposed to be escorting the humanoid monster, but it's not even by your side. How can you be sure you can really complete such an important mission?"
Feng Chenyi smiled, and what happened next made Liu Ziming and Iris both widen their eyes. Feng Chenyi turned his shirt inside out, and sure enough, the humanoid monster's image was on his stomach.
"The humanoid monster has a strong ability to attach itself. I'll have it attach to my body. This way, I can protect her well on the one hand, and ensure the mission is completed on the other. What do you guys think of my idea?"
"This is a complete pervert! How could you put a humanoid monster like that? Even though it's a monster, it should still have the right to choose! How could you put it on your stomach?" ...Seeking flowers.
Feng Chen Yiru laughed heartily, looking at the two little spiders' astonished expressions. This was exactly what he had in mind. He believed that everyone else, besides the little spiders, would be surprised that the humanoid monster was attached to his belly. What did it matter? This was a time for diverse opinions, and it was normal for some to have different thoughts.
"Hahaha, you two are really short-sighted and ignorant. Do you know how many sides humans have? Let me tell you, humans have countless forms, you just haven't seen them yet. If you knew the true thoughts and purposes of humans, you wouldn't dare to be friends with them so easily."
The humanoid monster actually spoke on Feng Chenyiru's stomach. Its voice was high-pitched and thin, like a strange sound coming from a loudspeaker.
...Bai and Iris, the two little guys, were so frightened that they kept backing away until they bumped into something and stopped. It turned out to be Liu Ziming.
"What are you two little devils doing running around instead of sleeping? Feng Chenyi is here too, why haven't you left yet? Weren't you supposed to be protecting the humanoid monster?"
The humanoid monster suddenly opened its mouth, as if swallowing mountains and rivers, sucking all the surrounding objects into its mouth, while Feng Chenyiru's belly grew bigger and bigger, looking like it was about to explode.
"You fools shouldn't discuss why I asked Feng Chenyiru to escort me. It's precisely because he has such courage that others might not even have a third of his boldness. You people only worry about ranks and never think about what the real meaning is."
"What great skills did I have back then? It was just that you attached yourself to Feng Chenyiru's belly. Now you're using Feng Chenyiru's body to transport your face, you humanoid monster. You'd better wake up soon."
“I, the humanoid monster, have existed since ancient times. You people are a full 1 years younger than me. Do you know that my lifespan is roughly the same as that of this land and sky? How dare you speak to me like that? Do you even understand what it means to be a senior?”
Liu Ziming discovered that when the humanoid monster spoke, Feng Chenyiru was unable to speak, and when Feng Chenyiru spoke, the humanoid monster did not appear at the same time. This suggests that the two of them share a single speech system.
Chapter 496 New Mission Arrives
After saying those words to the humanoid monster, Feng Chenyi turned and left. In fact, Liu Ziming could also see that the two were about to leave. After all, the humanoid monster did not want to expose himself too much, and he could not stay in one place for too long, so he would naturally run away in a hurry.
Liu Ziming had seen a list; those who arrested the humanoid monster should receive a reward from the system. When he saw the willful monster, he had an urge to capture him, but unfortunately, given Feng Chenyiru's high level of martial arts and powerful skills, even if Liu Ziming wanted to take him down, today probably wouldn't be a good time.
I don't understand. Seizing the time to level up is all he needs to do right now. Dealing with human habits is something he can practice slowly later. That humanoid monster is very cunning. Isn't his purpose in attaching himself to Feng Chenyiru's body just because Feng Chenyiru's skills are too high? After all, Feng Chenyiru is also one of the top people on the "273" skill list.
Naturally, Liu Ziming wouldn't dare to touch it easily, but that didn't mean others could let Feng Chenyiru off the hook. Their arrogant personalities would surely offend many people, and it was believed that even without Liu Ziming's intervention, someone would have already eliminated the humanoid monster for him.
After a moment's thought, Liu Ziming realized that he and the humanoid monster really had no grudges. The monster had simply said something that Liu Ziming didn't like to hear. The humanoid monster was indeed mocking Liu Ziming's low level, and its belly was trembling as it mocked him. This made Liu Ziming feel disgusted by the humanoid monster's appearance, and he no longer wanted to argue with it.
When Liu Ziming turned around, he was watching the two little spiders practicing. These two guys had been working even harder than before since they met the humanoid monster. In the past, when Liu Ziming urged them to practice, he would even pretend to be angry. Now, these two guys have really become much more sensible.
They understood very well that in order to protect Liu Ziming, in addition to their existing skills, they also needed to continuously upgrade and expand them. Right now, they were simply too weak. Having just taken human form, they were naturally coveted by others, since destroying their skills would allow others to gain double the expansion.
What will it be like when it goes up?
“Ellis, you two remember this: if the humanoid monster comes out to cause trouble again, we really have to use our combined skills to tie ourselves together and deal with him. We have to beat this little monster to a pulp. The humanoid monster is a very powerful guy on the monster list, but unfortunately he has broken the rules. So, if you capture the humanoid monster beforehand, the monster will get a generous bounty.”
"Liu Ziming, really! Why didn't you tell us about the bounty beforehand? Now that the humanoid monster has gone so far, you're only now trying to tell us, right?" "I can't tell you about the bounty right now because I'm afraid you two will get excited and fight the humanoid monster again. After all, the three of us are no match for him right now."
