Both of Crow's hands and feet were shackled.
These shackles were filled with strange runes that gave off a dark glow.
"Hey, when can you take these things off?" Crow sent his voice.
When Gu Qing Shan looked at him, he displayed an expression of pain and strain.
"Don't give me that, if you want to deceive them, you can't be careless at all, just endure it for now" Gu Qing Shan remained unmoved.
He grabbed Crow by the neck and declared in front of the other apocalyptic monsters: "I've completed the capture"
A short moment later.
A voice resounded from the void of space: [Quest complete, you may obtain the reward on the spot, or choose to escort the target to the Wraith realm in exchange for more quest rewards]
Wraith realm?
Gu Qing Shan replied without hesitation: "I choose escort"
The voice continued: [Please wait where you are, the flying shuttle will arrive shortly]
At this point, the other apocalyptic monsters seemed to have received other quests, so they scattered in groups of twos and threes towards different directions.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and silently waited.
A few moments later.
The void of space parted to two sides. A greyish-brown gigantic creature appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
— — -it was a dragon.
Gu Qing Shan immediately became serious.
The dragon race is not to be trifled with!
Previously, there was the Azure Dragon who defected to the Wraith realm, and now there was a greyish-brown dragon who belonged to the Apocalypse faction.
「 So you are the Apocalypse Hitman, Broken Bone Shadow? 」 the greyish-brown dragon evaluated him and asked.
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer right away.
He turned his gaze to the void of space. A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[As you are a dragon, and your status is higher than the Hex Casting Dragon, you can learn the Secret Hex it is currently using: Grey Shadow Dragon Hex]
[A Dragon Hex has enveloped your body, as soon as you speak, this Dragon Hex will immediately take effect]
[Grey Shadow Dragon Hex – Steal: When you converse with an enemy, the Hex will turn into the Grey Shadow Dragon's mind stealing technique, infiltrating the enemy's mind and simultaneously obtaining their thoughts]
Gu Qing Shan glanced through everything, then kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
— — If I had known that you were a shady character, why would you have tried to seduce me?
Seeing that he was ignoring it, the grey-brown dragon continued, "Do you need to rest?"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
"Are you going to escort this human to the Wraith realm?"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The Grayish-Brown Dragon did not give up and flattered, "So many people failed to take this guy down just now. You're the only one who completed the mission. You're indeed powerful."
Gu Qing Shan shrugged with a disdainful look on her face.
The air became quiet.
The Grayish-Brown Dragon glared at him.
— He was simply invulnerable!
Forget it, I just wanted to test this guy on a whim.
Since he was being so cautious, there was no need to continue probing him. Otherwise, if they angered him and the Apocalypse came to mediate, wouldn't they have to fight?
The Grayish-Brown Dragon stopped thinking and nodded. "Get on my back. Let's get ready to go."
Gu Qing Shan carried Crow and lightly leapt onto the dragon's back.
"Let's go!" the Grayish-Brown Dragon loudly roared.
Like an intense gust of wind, it shot through the clouds almost instantly, disappearing without a trace.
A few moments later, the entire world began to resound with the sound of explosions.
Black clouds rose to the sky, a tsunami of several hundred meters in height swept across the entire world. The entire ground began to crack and sink.
— — -the remaining apocalyptic monsters had begun to destroy the current world.
…
The Grayish-Brown Dragon was quickly flying through the darkness of the void.
「 Hold on tight to your captive, don't let him escape, the road ahead is still very dangerous 」
The dragon cautiously told her.
Gu Qing Shan kept her mouth shut and nodded.
— — if it wasn't a dragon, Gu Qing Shan would actually be interested in trying to pry some information out of it.
"Crow" he sent his voice, "Why are you here alone? Where are Buttercup and Fei Yue? "
Crow replied through telepathy: "They're both on the Immortal ship, currently hiding from Reneedol's pursuit inside the dark tunnel, also trying to incite the worlds that were born inside the tunnel"
Standing on the dragon's back, Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to scan the surroundings.
Despite the passage of countless years, the wide walls of the ancient tunnel were still filled with various murals, displaying the glory of the Age of Myriad Deities.
— — -indeed, this was still the underground tunnel of the Pantheon.
"Why aren't you with them?" Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.
Crow explained: "It's a long story, I actually didn't intend to separate from everyone at first, but — –"
His expression suddenly changed.
Gu Qing Shan also looked into the tunnel ahead.
— — -something seems to have happened.
Very quickly, a thick stench of blood washed over them.
The Grayish-Brown Dragon had clearly slowed down its flight speed, muttering in irritation: 「 Damn it … 」
Crow sensed it for a bit, then lightly kicked the Grayish-Brown Dragon's back and said: "Seems like there's a situation ahead, I'm guessing it might be the situation you're worried about"
After saying so, he blanked out for a bit before regaining his senses: "Huh? What did I say just now? "
In the tunnel ahead, an endless amount of blood was quickly seeping out from the walls, forming a wall of blood that blocked the Grayish-Brown Dragon's path.
The Grayish-Brown Dragon roared: 「 You jinx!
」 Its body shook as it left through another path above the tunnel.
Behind it, the blood quickly condensed into a Grayish-Brown Dragon.
「 Come, your life should be given to the new King of Apocalypse! 」
The Grayish-Brown Dragon formed from blood uttered a resounding roar, then chased after it.
Seeing that, Crow loudly mocked it: "Ahahaha, an Apocalypse fighting an Apocalypse, what a joke"
The Grayish-Brown Dragon didn't say a word and simply kept moving forward.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Blood Dragon behind them and continued to ask: "Crow, you still haven't told me why you separated from Buttercup and the others"
Crow sent his voice: "It's like this, we were originally together, but I always — — -"
Roar!!!
A ferocious roar resounded from the front, cutting off Crow's words.
「 Oh no! 」
The Grayish-Brown Dragon hurriedly changed direction and continued forward.
Crow carefully listened to the roar, then chuckled: "Poor fellow, you don't need to hide anymore, they probably just want a dragon"
As soon as he said that, his expression became blank, then turned to ask Gu Qing Shan: "Huh? Did I say something just now? "
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, a ferocious roar resounded from the depths of the tunnel: 「 Grayish-Brown Dragon, you don't need to hide anymore, we just want a dragon! 」
The Grayish-Brown Dragon: "…"
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
The Grayish-Brown Dragon angrily roared: 「 I've heard that you were a jinx, but I didn't think your jinx would be this bad, no wonder the people who escorted you all died!
」 Its body trembled, shaking off Gu Qing Shan and Crow, then shouted: "I give up on the mission, I'd rather accept my punishment, please allow me to return to my normal form and leave!"
A screen of light appeared from the void of space and enveloped the Grayish-Brown Dragon's body.
In the blink of an eye, it was gone.
Gu Qing Shan froze in mid-air.
Crow stood on one side and laughed: "Foolish dragon, this is your fate, what does it have to do with me? I merely know a few techniques to seek fortune and avoid calamity"
After laughing, he turned to Gu Qing Shan: "— — right, where were we?"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then took a deep breath: "No need to say anything else, I understand your situation"
Crow's expression became blank again, then said: "Alright, we'll probably have to escape now, because this place has already been surrounded …"
Gu Qing Shan's heart began to beat intensely.
— — even during his battle against Reneedol, he wasn't this nervous.
Gu Qing Shan's mind quickly turned and shouted: "Crow! No matter how they surround us, we'll definitely be able to escape, right? "
Crow looked over with a pair of confused eyes, then changed his tone and replied blankly: "Indeed, they only want to capture a dragon, we'll definitely be able to escape and reach the Wraith realm safely"
After saying this, his body shook violently and he woke up.
"Huh? Did I just use my ability again? "he asked.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and replied: "Indeed, but it doesn't really matter. I want to know why a dragon that belongs to an Apocalypse would still flee in front of other monsters?"
Crow replied with a serious expression: "The reason is very simple, that blood has the ability to devour and destroy, originating from a giant eyeball within the Eternal Abyss"
"That eyeball had gained sentience, wanting to replace all Apocalypses and become the King of Apocalypses"
"And right now, it's heading straight for the Wraith realm"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Why is it heading to the Wraith realm?"
"No one knows, perhaps there's something in the Wraith realm that's attracting it?" Crow replied.
Boss's voice suddenly sounded:
"Gu Qing Shan, we need to hurry, we need to reach the Wraith realm before the giant eyeball"
"Hm? Why? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss replied with a serious tone: "I suspect that Reneedol is summoning that giant eyeball in the Wraith realm — — she wants to become the summoning master of that eyeball"
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Indeed, Reneedol can summon an Apocalypse.
If she had formed a summoning covenant with that giant eyeball, who would be able to stop her?
"We can't deal with that eyeball — — - no one should be able to deal with it" Gu Qing Shan said.
Boss spoke in a low voice: "We don't need to deal with it, but we definitely need to disrupt the meeting between that eyeball and Reneedol"
"Why?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Because Reneedol doesn't know that her Apocalypse summoning technique originated from the Age of Immemorial, the ability of the Apocalypse Seeker that I decomposed"
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then nodded.
The Apocalypse Seeker had always been searching for that frozen corpse.
According to her, that corpse was referred to as the destroyer of all things and living beings, the secret Apocalypse that cannot be heard.
"So what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss replied: "If we allow Reneedol to form a covenant with that giant eyeball, the other Apocalypses will immediately sense the existence of the giant eyeball"
"The Reality Gate will open again, countless Apocalypses will come to greet that giant eyeball, while also searching for the destroyer of all things and living beings"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "In other words, your current corpse"
"Indeed, at that time, every world inside the gate will be destroyed" Boss confirmed.
