Chapter 138 Memories of Resentment
Chapter 138 "Memories of Resentment"
"Tap~tap~"
The crisp sound of boots touching the dock floor echoed in the night, and the sound reached my ears. No visitors have come here for a long time. Only countless unlucky ones were targeted by the Wandering City, and then stayed here forever along with their souls. Neither can Even if you ascend to the Kingdom of God, you will not fall into the River Styx, and there is no such thing as reincarnation.
Walking down the pier, the road was wet and muddy. Qiao Yang glanced at it from the corner of his eye. It was probably the product of a mixture of blood and soil. When he stepped on it, the dense touch gave people a rather weird feeling through his boots.
After leaving the pier, everyone saw the poles standing close up, which were Pike's collection.
The decaying smell of various soaked corpses is extremely strong. Those that have long been weathered to the point where their original appearance cannot be seen are better. Some corpses with medium or high decay are the real explosions.
The tiny scraping sound of the chrysalis was infinitely amplified in this quiet environment. Even without looking directly, Qiao Yang could imagine one after another of fat and white fly larvae entangled with each other.
The strange thing is that since there are fly maggots, there should be adults, that is, flies, but Qiao Yang did not hear any vibration of wings, which was obviously extremely unusual.
"They come from Him. These guys are between the material plane and the soul plane. They absorb the remaining soul energy to grow, and finally feed it back to Him. After so many years, even I don't know how strong He is."
Pike was talking to himself. It seemed that he had already guessed that Qiao Yang would have doubts about these maggots.
After finishing speaking, it stopped, turned around, its azure eyes flickered for a moment, and dissuaded:
"It's not too late for you to give up now, my promise remains unchanged."
Qiao Yang could hear the sincerity in his voice, but again, he wanted more than that.
"We're all here, why are you hesitating? I'm no different from those captains. Their greed is on the surface, and you can see my greed?"
As if he didn't expect Qiao Yang to answer like this, Pike was silent for a long time.
"Okay, as you wish~"
It took a deep look at Qiao Yang, then said nothing and walked silently at the front.
Some people will never stop because of a little persuasion. Such people will either be hit on the head and bleed, or they will cross this obstacle in an unreasonable way. This is not what it should care about.
Under the leadership of Pike, Qiao Yang and his party came to the depths of Wandering City, that is, the inner city.
Different from the outside, everything here has a distorted appearance, as if another dimension has been bonded to reality, but cannot be torn apart, and finally it becomes what it is before you.
The space is stretched like viscous fibers, forming a structure like a spider web, covered with countless densely packed insect eggs. If you look closely, the things about to hatch inside should be the fly maggots seen in the outer city.
Going deeper inside, Qiao Yang saw countless slender passages, in which fat maggots were transported.
They looked harmless, and he certainly didn't feel threatened.
These maggots probably don't have the ability to sense, because even if their footsteps are so obvious, they still don't see any reaction.
But this idea was overturned in the next second, and he was slapped in the face.
Several giant maggots, as thick as the waist of an adult man, squirmed out. The four sharp mouthparts, two long and two short, only scraped the ground lightly, leaving traces as thin as silk threads. There must be no one there. I doubt whether these gleaming mouthparts can pierce my own throat.
Two synapse-shaped prosthetic eyes provide them with light sensing, and of course, heat sensing, depending on what their creators have in mind.
The link-shaped body provides the driving force for their advancement. There are four limbs under the head to assist in advancement. There is also a hook made of chitin at the front. The top of the head is covered with a layer of soft armor of the same material, providing it with Certain defensive capabilities.
The most important thing is that the color of this thing is different from traditional fly maggots. It is an indescribable color and is in a translucent state. Qiao Yang can even see the trembling of their internal organs as they squirm forward, which is quite explosive.
To be honest, the impact of this kind of thing appearing in front of you alive is quite big.
At the very least, Qiao Yang had some doubts about what the so-called He was thinking, and how he could create such a disgusting thing, which made everyone feel physically sick when he saw it.
Of course, it's only a little bit. After all, he has some demons under him and the appearance of the demon crew members is not much better than this thing. The main character will do a wave of will judgments as soon as they meet, and if they don't pass, they will be given a "disgusting" The negative state is, well, disgusting in every sense of the word.
At the same time, the prompts from the Monster Manual also arrived at the right time.
"Special reminder: You have discovered a strange monster and it has been automatically included in the monster illustrated book."
——————
Monster type: [Soul Maggot Guard]
Average combat power: ★★
Special abilities: virtual and real body (inherent ability), soul explosion;
Related introduction: A special creature hatched from the eggs laid by the mother soul maggot. It is extremely resistant to physical damage and spell damage and feeds on the power of souls.
——————
It can only be said that the monster illustrated book is always amazing. It can even give rough information about monsters that are very rare at first sight and even unique to Wandering City.
At this time, Pike stopped, turned around and said to Qiao Yang:
"I sent you here. He is very scary. For some special reasons, I can't continue to fight side by side with you. If you unfortunately die, I will collect your bodies and find a good place to bury them. This is also the case. My promise to you, then, I wish you good luck~"
After saying that, it patted its body, and its body gradually disappeared, and finally it couldn't even feel its breath.
"Now that the plot guidance is over, is it time to officially download the dungeon? This sense of instant vision is really strong."
He shook his head. It was a pity that Pike couldn't participate. He wanted to continue the strategy by fighting side by side.
But it doesn't matter. As long as you clear the dungeon, you have to take it away even if it's tied up. If it catches my eye, do you still want to leave? It’s impossible, stop dreaming.
The thoughts in his mind flashed away, and Qiao Yang pulled out his weapon. The expression on his face gradually became crazier, and a captivating scarlet color appeared in his eyes.
"Young ones, make this place my property!"
"Your will!"
Marquez and the others who followed him were also full of fighting spirit and felt proud in their hearts.
This was a rare experience of fighting side by side with Qiao Yang, and they were the only ones.
What is this special treatment called? It's called an honor!
After returning to the ship, we must blow hard for three days and three nights.
Especially Triller, a slut, he even thought about how to bring up this topic.
No matter what his colleagues say at that time, he will have to say - how do you know that the captain and I killed the floating city together? Isn’t this the follow-up topic coming?
Thinking of that scene, Triller speeded up his steps a little more, looking like he was going to kill everyone.
But the ones who were faster than him were Qiao Yang and Marquez.
Qiao Yang was like an afterimage. He arrived in front of the soul maggot guard in the blink of an eye. The shadow in his hand was as fast as lightning. The light and shadow instantly penetrated the soft armor on the monster's head. With the advantage of strength, he even I didn't feel any hindrance.
After a successful blow, he turned over and retreated. The next second, a silent explosion exploded, setting off a gust of wind and leaving a twisted hole in place, with images seeming to flash inside.
Relevant battle information flashed before his eyes.
"Strength judgment advantage!"
"Successfully hit the target x 2, causing 125 points of damage to the target!"
"Target dead!"
The effect of this blow even exceeded his own expectations. With just two casual blows, the Soul Maggot Guard was dead.
Is there any damage reduction? I didn’t feel it~
After being strengthened in all aspects before participating in the all-round challenge mission, this was his first time to fight with all his strength. As for whether hunting the turtle fish leader was considered a battle, Qiao Yang didn't think it was. After all, it was just an illusion. He didn't think it was. How can we say we can do our best if we don't put in much effort?
This time it was different, because he knew that the soul maggot guard had both physical and magical resistance, and he wanted to try it out to what extent, but all he could say was, ah? That's it?
On the other side, Marquis was much more violent. His familiar broad-bladed scimitar was like the Louis XIV Happy Knife. He chopped off the soul maggot guard's head with one blow, and then easily dodged the soul blast.
Judging from the results, the combat power of this thing should be a bit high. At least one of the two stars is caused by the soul blast. Although I have not tried the specific power, looking at the twisted space, it is estimated that it will not be as low as Where to go.
There were only ten soul maggot guards in the first wave. Although they looked a little disgusting, they did not pose much of a threat.
With everyone covering each other and cooperating, they were quickly killed, and large and small spatial distortions were left in this space.
Just when Qiao Yang was about to give the order to move forward, the fragmented space distortion suddenly changed.
They merged together at an extremely fast speed, and then a video was projected.
"The sailors on the Terror just watched me being eaten alive by a monster, and no one threw a rope to me!"
"My rope was cut by you, I remember your appearance~"
The video is from a first-person perspective, and it records the last scene when Parker was abandoned during his lifetime. From his perspective, you can see the way the captain abandoned him in a panic, even after an unknown amount of time, Joe Yang could also feel its anger and despair at that time.
It is worth mentioning that the captain looked exactly like the one he played in the original fantasy, which confirmed his guess. At the same time, he became more and more curious about the next story, because this was a part that Oriath didn't know about either.
It's a pity that this video ends here, and it feels like reading a novel and encountering the anger of a broken dog.
The next moment, the image shattered, and the space that comprised it instantly opened up, followed by twenty soul maggot guards, slowly but surely pupating towards them.
It really made me cry to death. Just when I was angry, sandbags were delivered to my door.
There was nothing to say, Qiao Yang didn't even need to speak, everyone went to kill him, chopping melons and vegetables in the process, and Qiao Yang didn't even need to do it himself.
Taking advantage of this time, he opened a round of various random buff entries. Although the enemy was very weak, he could not relax his vigilance. He tried his best to fight the lion against the rabbit. He did not want to capsize in the gutter because of this trivial matter.
Soon, twenty more space fragments merged together, and a new image took over the previous one, but it did not completely continue.
"You all refuse to save me, a hundred ways to die, a thousand faces!"
"There are no innocent people. Everyone just watched as I sank."
"I used to call them monsters, but they made me change my mind!"
"The captain asked me to kill the fish. It makes sense for the fish to ask me to kill the captain~"
The story told in this video is extremely confusing. There are parts of Pike's life, parts after his death, and parts of his resurrection and the crazy massacre of everyone in Ruby Port.
Starting from the crew of the Terror, Pike is like a ghost wandering in the middle of the night. As long as he gets the chance, he will kill without mercy.
Related people were dying every day, and those who dared to escape were caught the next day and hung from street lamps. They died in extremely miserable conditions.
After it lasted for a long time, everyone knew that it was Pike who was back for revenge.
From their initial fear and unwillingness to their subsequent resentment and despair, everything remains vividly in the image.
The overwhelming resentment even came out of the image and turned into reality, which made everyone present frown.
Qiao Yang captured a key piece of information, that is, Pike's resurrection seemed to be related to the leader of the turtle fish that he originally planned to kill.
“The last sip I took was priceless!”
Just when Qiao Yang thought that this video was about to end, Pike's deep and hoarse voice emerged, and with a glance, he was covered in the juice of countless green sacs in the video.
A flash of light passed through my mind.
Yes, that turtle fish is not only the leader, but also a rare turtle fish that has survived naturally for an unknown period of time. Its green sac cannot be weaker than the one I drank, it can only be stronger!
For unknown reasons, the power within combined with Pike's resentment, allowing him to complete his "resurrection from the dead". If you think about it this way, everything seems a lot more reasonable.
Through the last disappearing image, Qiao Yang saw Pike's familiar blue eyes, but there was no clarity in them, only endless resentment and murderous intent.
This was completely different from what Qiao Yang saw later. If the appearance and decoration were not exactly the same, there would be no problem saying that they were not the same person.
There must be changes in this, but the specifics will depend on what new clues the next images can bring him.
Tell him directly that if the key to this can be discovered, perhaps this "copy" can be removed without much effort.
In addition, Qiao Yang has another question, who is the recorder of these images?
Something was delayed today, so I will make up for the few words in tomorrow's chapter. I would like to thank all my book friends for their monthly votes and rewards, especially a few old friends who have been subscribing to this book until now. Thank you very much.
