It turned out that every person who fell into the sea would be transformed into a "Zeus" by the yellow shadows in the water, and these yellow shadows came from the highest God, Zeus, whom they had never met before.
The bald man's words echoed in Maxin's mind for a long time. He never thought that death would be a better option than this.
Where did all the people who had been transformed into low-level Zeus go? What happened to them in the end?
Maxin did not miss anything while he was staring at the sea. Even Ji Shanqing could not utter a single word for a few minutes.
The sea breeze blew his long hair, and countless strands of black hair cut the shock and confusion on his face into pieces. It was like a jigsaw puzzle that had been broken into pieces, and each piece magnified his emotions dozens of times. Looking at Ji Shanqing, the bald man could not help but let out a chuckle, even though he had to lean against the rock with trembling hands and feet.
Ji Shanqing shuddered when he heard the chuckle. He quickly lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and asked hoarsely, "R-really?"
What a silly question.
"It's fake," Hegel grinned. Ji Shanqing raised his head abruptly, and his eyes lit up. He threw his head back and burst into laughter. His shoulders and stomach were shaking. "That's great! Didn't you see it with your own eyes? That woman was surrounded by the yellow shadows after she fell into the sea. After we destroyed the yellow shadows, a Zeus came out of them. What other proof do you want? This is not space physics. Is it that complicated? "
"Shut up!"
The words burst out of Maxin's mouth, startling him. He knew that Ji Shanqing didn't need his help at all. In fact, he didn't know anything about Ji Shanqing's character. Perhaps, he would get annoyed if he spoke up for Ji Shanqing. However, he still said it, and he didn't stop once he started.
"How many abilities do you have? Two or three? Take a good look at the situation. If you want to survive this competition, you can only rely on our mercy. Is this the attitude you should have? "Maxin sneered and whistled." Umm... Queen, come here! I'll let you wear this person! "
The meat worm raised her upper body from afar. Even though they were separated by almost a thousand meters, she could still hear him clearly.
'I don't want it, 'it hissed shrilly.' He's too ugly. I am a queen, I should wear girls. "
Hegel's face turned purple, and the corners of his eyes drooped. Perhaps he was angry because he couldn't find a way out of this embarrassing situation. His face alternated between hatred and a sneer. However, when Ji Shanqing took a step forward, he glanced at Ji Shanqing and swallowed all the words he wanted to say.
"Thank you."
A soft voice rang out beside him. It sounded like the soft caw of a young bird in the forest in the early morning. It did not sound like the voice of the same person, and Maxin almost thought that he was hallucinating. He turned around and saw Ji Shanqing lowering his head in embarrassment. His long, dark hair slid down his face and covered his red, jade-like eyes.
In Lin Sanjiu's eyes, Ji Shanqing had always been like this.
Hearing Ji Shanqing's words of gratitude, Maxin felt a little relieved. To be honest, it was precisely because he was emotional from time to time that he was most unwilling to be swayed by his emotions. He had to be more careful in the future.
He did not expect Ji Shanqing to become good friends with him just because of his words, so he nodded and took a step back. Initially, he wanted to remind the other party that half of the half-hour time limit had passed, but the right time to say that never came.
"Do you have anything else to tell me?"
In just a few breaths, Ji Shanqing had regained his composure. He stared at Hegel calmly, but it was as if he did not see Hegel at all. His gaze fell on the horizon.
"What else do you want me to say?" Baldhead tried to control his emotions. Gritting his teeth, he said in a low voice while resisting the [Awe of the Phoenix], "I lost the last match, so I didn't get to meet the highest god, Zeus. There's nothing else I can tell you."
"You lost, but you didn't die?"
Ji Shanqing seemed to be asking for the sake of asking.
"If you didn't get killed by your opponent, you won't get punished for losing the match."
"Why are you so insistent on meeting Zeus?"
Hegel fell silent for a moment. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I bought a piece of information in the Twelve Worlds Centrum. According to the information, the highest god, Zeus, can grant a person a wish."
Ji Shanqing was shocked. His eyes regained focus. He narrowed his eyes and studied Hegel's face for a few seconds. Just when he thought that Hegel was going to ask for more details — after all, granting a wish sounded like a fairy tale — Ji Shanqing thought for a moment and changed the subject. "Where do the people who become Zeus go?"
Baldhead clearly misunderstood Ji Shanqing's intention.
"You're not planning to use that wish to find your sister again, are you? Let me tell you, that's a big waste. " He looked up and saw the frown on Ji Shanqing's face. "I don't know where they went, but one or two of them would come back from time to time to inspect the arena. Oh, I remember when the winning team went to meet the highest god, they were escorted there by three Zeus."
In other words, Lin Sanjiu could still come back!
Ji Shanqing stood rooted to the ground. He seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought. He did not say anything for a long time. At times like this he looked somehow childlike, like a child who for a moment cannot remember how to get home.
Perhaps this was a good time to remind him.
He knew he had to leave as soon as possible. Even if he left now, he would not be able to jump over a hundred rocks as he had planned. However, he was reluctant to do so. Perhaps it was because his emotions had won once, but this time, his rationality prevailed.
Just when Maxin was about to speak, Ji Shanqing spoke, "Does that mean I still have a chance to meet her? Let me ask you, what did my sister take from you?"
Baldhead was stunned. He had never thought of this question before.
"You didn't take my things — Oh," he shot a quick glance at Maxin as if he just remembered that Lin Sanjiu had taken something from him and wanted to give it to this young man. "Why do you ask?"
"The next time I meet my sister, I need to make sure that she will not use your Special Item to catch me off guard," Ji Shanqing said simply. He turned the display board on his shoulder so that it faced Hegel. Then, with a distance of a hundred meters between them, he asked, "Take a good look. What is not on this display board?"
Even if he had to continuously resist [All Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix], Hegel's eyes seemed to be sucked into the display board. He slowly turned his neck, but he stared at the display board for a long time without saying a word. Every single item on the display board belonged to him. He had spent a lot of effort to collect these items, but now, he felt even more indignant.
"You have looked at it long enough."
Just as Maxin thought of this, he did not expect Ji Shanqing to turn the display board around and place it on his back. At the same time, he picked up the birdcage and clamped it on the display board. The birdcage, which was knee-high, immediately shrank to the size of a fridge.
"Hey," Hegel couldn't help exclaiming. His eyes widened. Everyone could tell that he had remembered what Lin Sanjiu had taken away. Not only that, he had also realized something else.
Something more important.
Ji Shanqing tilted his head slightly as he stared at Hegel. His long hair slid down his shoulders like a goddess's robe. He narrowed his eyes but did not ask any questions. "Wait a minute," he said. Then, he turned to Maxin and said, "It's time for you to go."
"Huh?" Maxin was stunned.
"There are only thirteen minutes left. The remaining eighty-nine pieces of the reef will disappear."
Ji Shanqing's expression was natural and his lips were bright red. He did not seem to remember that he could not jump that fast. Before Maxin could object, he pulled a small object from the display board. While Hegel gasped in shock, the object swelled in the air and covered Maxin's face. Then, Maxin's head was covered by the small object.
In the furry shadow, Maxin heard Ji Shanqing's gentle voice. He quickly understood why Hegel sucked in a breath of cold air. Hegel probably couldn't bear to see such a waste.
