Chapter 205 [Disposable Copy]
“Huh——” Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, and everyone stared at him without speaking. After a long while, he slowly spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The General Director said that no information about "Snake's Leak" was found in the intelligence database. Various news channels also received no news. Perhaps, I need to handle it alone this time "
In other words, Yun Shifu has actually given up on the three of them to a certain extent. When there is no information about evil things, based on the information from the Rumor Department, the chance of survival is zero.
"There is still a chance. The great achievements I have accumulated in recent years are not a small amount. And the Rumor Division is spread all over the world and recruits many ghosts and ghosts. Maybe someone knows about "Snake's Leak"."
For now, we can only wait!
When someone accepts the task issued by the General Director, there will be a chance to solve the problem. As the Hongyun Envoy of the Hearing and Hearing Department, he has seen many cases of people successfully escaping after encountering evil things and only having a clue.
Eight people sat quietly on chairs, waiting for the last hope. Oh, no. Not counting He Sheng, his "Snake's Leak" is infinite without any trouble.
At noon, a voice broke the silence in the room.
“Gurgugu~~~”
"What are you looking at? I'm a boxer, and I became an official based on my ability, not nepotism. Isn't it weird that I feel hungry after not eating for a whole meal?" Bantou Sun was not ashamed at all, but asked the other seven people.
Do you say he is afraid?
Afraid, but not too much. My adoptive father is here.
The verbal adoptive father, although the contact time is not long, but everything is very reliable. No matter how bad things get, people can always get things back on track.
So, he didn't have much to worry about. If the adoptive father can't bear it, then God is really going to kill him. The worst he can do is go down below, meet his parents in advance, and live a happy and ordinary life as a family of three.
"Order food." Zhao Cheng said, and the two Dark Cloud Envoys immediately turned around and left. After a while, he came back with a sumptuous meal. They don't trust the inn's cook and waiter. Anything imported must be watched at all times. In fact, they even bought the rice and vegetables in person.
Among the group of people, only He Sheng and Sun Bantou, the sworn son of Yiyiyi, were popular. The rest, even the child Sun Hu, had his mouth hanging open for a while.
Although children do not understand conversations between adults, they are extremely sensitive to external emotions and can sense when the atmosphere is bad.
"Brush——"
Zhao Cheng, who was putting rice into his mouth, suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks. The wedge on his left hand glowed with light, reflecting characters that others could not understand.
"Huh——"
When the handwriting disappeared one by one, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, the others knew that the mission the other party had set up had a result. Moreover, it must be good news, otherwise he would not be relieved, but would be furious and smash the dining table with a slap.
"A good news or a bad news, which one should I hear first?"
Among the seven people, in addition to solving the problem of "Snake Leak", there is also an adopted son who is blindly confident in his adoptive father. Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Look, you can actually make a joke, there is a way.
“The good news is that someone took the task I posted, and the general manager reimbursed the cost. The bad news is that the other party only knows a little bit, and is just a thread in a mess.”
"This is not bad news, it is rare good news."
It is a mess, and if there are threads, it is only a matter of time before it is smoothed out.
"In the Thief Catching Division, there is a Yunshi who has lived in Jiangcheng since he was a child. He once heard a legend told by his grandfather. A legend about an hourglass. Unfortunately, he was only five years old at the time. He vaguely remembers that it was about blue. The legend of the colored hourglass, I don’t remember the specific content.”
As soon as the words fell, someone asked.
“Is there any more?”
Zhao Cheng was silent for a long while, holding back eight characters.
"The oldest legend in Jiangcheng?"
"."
Everyone was silent, it was really a good life.
“Don’t worry, we’re just looking for someone.”
“Jiangcheng is located on the edge of Shangyang County and has not been much troubled by floods at all. The entire county has a population of 150,000, how can we deal with it? .”
The remaining half of the words in Bantou Sun’s mouth were not uttered. He suddenly remembered that the person standing in front of him was a real official of the fifth grade, and he came from a very powerful yamen door. .
“Let’s go to the county government office.”
After saying that, he got up first and ate without even caring about the food.
Well, life is much more important than belly.
With less than a stick of incense, a group of people successfully arrived at the county government office.
Zhao Chengliang revealed his identity and directly took over everything in Jiangcheng under the frightened expression of the county magistrate. Then, he issued an order to all the government officials to use any conceivable means to find the person who knew the oldest legend in Jiangcheng, the blue hourglass.
As long as the news is true, you can choose any official below the seventh rank!
If you don't want to be an official, pick up a pen and draw fields randomly on the boundaries of Jiangcheng. No matter how big the circle is, we will give you no discount at all. Moreover, there is no need to worry about someone interested in you. From now on, he, a fifth-rank official, will protect you.
As soon as this news came out, the whole Jiangcheng was detonated instantly.
Good guy, can you just pick a seventh-grade official? Land can be painted casually?
The power of hundreds of thousands of people moving is extremely terrifying. Elderly people in the family are dug out one by one. Some people even want to dig out their own grandfather from the ground and question him.
In short, it’s all crazy.
Zhao Cheng was not afraid that Jiangcheng people were deceiving people for rewards. Just kidding, how can I give a reward as soon as I get the news? There is no need to verify that if a group of them survives, the promise will be fulfilled.
Can’t survive?
Go to sleep and have whatever you want in your dreams.
In the afternoon, a group of people came.
"Sir, this is my grandfather. He has heard the ancient legend of the blue hourglass since he was a child."
The eight people looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the old man who was so angry that he might belch at any time. Brother, do you think your great grandfather will tire him to death after saying one sentence?
“.”
The young man is silent, there is nothing he can do. The reward is tempting.
At this moment, he regretted extremely that he had disliked his great-grandfather and said nothing. In the past, the old man once wanted to tell him the legend of the blue hourglass, but unfortunately he found the old man annoyed and didn't listen at all, so he just picked up his legs and left.
Now, I wish I could go back to the beginning and slap myself twice.
A seventh-grade official, that’s a seventh-grade official, even though it’s not a real one!
At this time, He Sheng stepped forward and activated the skill "Extreme Dose II". A large needle filled with green liquid appeared in his hand and plunged into the old man's neck.
When all the mixed medicine was injected into the old man’s body, everyone immediately reacted.
"What are you doing?"
The young man asked with his eyes wide open.
It's not that he is unfilial, but that someone has a lot of tendons, and besides, he is at the yamen gate with a high-ranking official standing by. Who dares to act wildly?
"Don't worry, your great-grandfather will get better soon."
After the words fell, the old man straightened up suddenly and energetically.
"Master?"
"Hey, grandson. When I wanted to tell you, you weren't willing to listen. If I hadn't had the means, wouldn't you have missed a huge opportunity?"
The old man looked distressed, then turned around and followed a few people and said.
"Actually, I don't know much about the blue hourglass, old man. But you must ensure that my grandson can be an official."
"Old man, don't worry. . As long as it is true, you can choose whatever you want, if you are below the rank of seventh grade." Zhao Cheng said with confidence. The Yunshi Mansion did not prohibit the practice of giving some marginal official positions to relatives and friends in exchange for their great achievements.
Of course, it is not without cost, the required effort is doubled ten times. The current Emperor Dayun is afraid of creating a big family full of officials. Even if the official position is not important, the maximum limit is only the seventh grade.
“This legend was told by my great-grandfather. It is said that in ancient times, human beings were not the masters of the earth. The ones who really dominated the land were a race called snake people. I don’t know what they looked like, but they spoke From word of mouth, people are only known to be called snake people.
They are a group of naturally powerful races. All snake people have all kinds of magical powers, such as rejuvenation, resurrection from the dead, control of wind and rain, etc.
Moreover, they worship totem gods, or gods. Every year, grand sacrifices are held for the gods, and the sacrifices are other races.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the snake-man clan that ruled the earth suddenly collapsed. The gods cast down terrible curses, and the races called sacrifices began to massacre them. At this point, the snake people were completely extinct.
And the things they left behind became evil one by one due to the curse of the gods. The blue hourglass is one of those things. It was originally intended to reward those warriors who vassalized the snake-men clan and turn them into blessings for the snake-men.
I heard that the stronger the person, the shorter the transformation time. Anyway, my great-grandfather said that countless races that vassal snake people will do anything to transform into snake people. In this way, these races fought extremely bravely and made great contributions to the snake people.
It can be said that because of the blue hourglass, at least half of the entire earth was conquered by vassal races. It is precisely because of the magical ability of the blue hourglass that the snake people have become stronger and stronger, to the point where no other race can compete. "
After the old man finished speaking, the eight people fell into silence.
"Am I going to turn into a snake? "
On Bantou Sun's face, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or excited. I didn't hear what the old man said. The snake people are extremely powerful and are born with powerful power.
"If you become Snake, believe me, you kid will definitely become a guest in the secret yamen of the Commander-in-Chief. "Zhao Cheng patted Sun Bantou on the shoulder and said with a meaningful expression.
To this, someone who was not in any danger at all nodded and agreed.
Wang Peng, the envoy who defeated Si Hongyun, once said that Chuan was researched by a secret yamen under the commander. The snake people who ruled the earth before the human race must be very interested in the mysterious Yamen and would not mind spending some money to study it.
“Forget it!”
Bantou Sun is not a fool, so he naturally heard the meaningful meaning in Zhao Cheng’s words. You are a guest, I don’t know who you are sitting on.
【Ding! 】
"???"
He Sheng looked confused, what are you going to do with the copy system.
[One-time copy is being generated 1%5%10%]
[Generation completed! 】
[Copy: "Disaster"]
[Tags: one-time use, collapse after leaving, no specific main line, players can explore at will. 】
[Background of the event: The snake-man clan, which has ruled the earth for hundreds of thousands of years, finally faces annihilation. Not only do they have to deal with the counterattack of their once loyal vassals, they also have to face the pursuit of countless hostile races and the curse of ████.
In this event, the player will play the role of a snake man and witness with his own eyes the destruction of a once extremely glorious civilization in an instant. 】
[Number of copies: 1. 】
[Event BUFF: None. 】
‘One-off copy? ’
What the old man said is all true.
At least, there once was a race called snake people that ruled the earth. They even ruled for hundreds of thousands of years. Also, what the hell are the four black squares? Why don't you write it down, system, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?
Forget it, it’s none of his business. Get in there and do it.
"Grandpa!"
A cry of surprise diverted his attention.
It turned out to be the old man who ascended to heaven after telling the ancient legend.
There is no way, "Extreme Dose II" Urinary properties return to urinary properties. The problem is that the old man's vitality is running out. When the oil is exhausted and the lamp dries up, the 30% vitality that can be restored instantly does not last long.
The vitality of the surname He is like a lake, so the old man is equivalent to a glass of water. The former is 30%. What is that concept? The latter, let alone 30% of a glass of water, is useless even if it is doubled ten times.
"Happy mourning." The rest of the relatives and friends who accompanied him patted the young man's shoulders and said. Well, there are only a few old men in Jiangcheng who live longer than a hundred years. Not to mention, before he died, he got a seventh-rank official position for his grandson, which made him even happier.
"Don't worry, I will give you a list of official positions below the seventh rank afterwards. In the meantime, you only need to pick one." Zhao Cheng kept his word, and after catching the thread, only Let me straighten out the mess.
"Sir, please choose one for me. I will bury my great-grandfather first."
Everyone in Jiangcheng County Government gave a thumbs up secretly, thinking smartly. Just by looking at the clothes on the young man's body, you can tell that he is an ordinary person among ordinary people. Even if he is living a good life, how much do he know about official functions?
The Hongyun Envoy of Yunshi Mansion is different. When there is no hatred between the two parties, who would deliberately deceive others? They will only find a very good one who will be rewarded from the seventh-grade official position. It is better than choosing by yourself.
On the other side, He Sheng closed his eyes and entered the space of the hanging flower door.
In the space, open the door.
The dizziness and weightlessness disappeared. After he opened his eyes, he found that he had become a creature with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human.
“Where is my β?”
“Gan!”
"Why did it become [V]?"
One string turned into two. Why does it feel like the copy is becoming more and more abnormal?
“Kill~~~”
The sound of fighting brought him back to his senses instantly.
Now is not the time to study [β] to [V], but to try to get the benefits from the copy.
Then, his eyes looked around.
“.”
Okay, there will be a fight as soon as you come in.
He is in a team full of snake people. With his relatively good height, he can clearly see all kinds of strange creatures coming from all directions, and he is carrying out crazy and fierce attacks on the snake people. war.
The enemies don’t care about life or death at all, it’s all about exchanging lives for lives anyway. The snake people are also very powerful. The weapons on their four arms are swung with great force, which can be called a battlefield meat grinder.
But no matter how many arms we have, we can't support many people. When a tiger meets a pack of wolves, both sides fight for their lives. The tiger will definitely die in the end, and the wolves will at best become crippled.
Wait a minute, four arms?
He looked down, good guy.
I also have four arms, each holding a weapon.
"No, there are more and more enemies, and we can't kill them out." Next to him, a pale snake man said with a mask similar to the Nuo mask in his previous life.
"Master Priest, what should we do?" Someone next to him asked, with a look of despair on his face.
"I need you to help me resist for a while. As long as I can hold on for a while, it will be enough to turn defeat into victory." The old priest said and took out a blue hourglass from nowhere.
“?!”
Isn’t this thing exactly the "Snake's Leak" that each of the eight of them in the inn has.
"Master Priest, there is no way to convert without rituals and sacrifices." The man who was previously full of despair said even more desperately. I thought you, old man, had any good ideas.
If the old priest's status hadn't always been very high, so high that it was deeply ingrained in their hearts, they would have said "Are you old and confused?".
"Who said that there is no way to transform without sacrificing sacrifices or performing rituals? In short, go and resist. Buy time for me, as long as you can hold on for a short while."
As he finished speaking, the old man's hands glowed with bright blue light.
Got it!
Go for it.
Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to survive.
The body is immortal but the soul is not invincible.
Look at the enemies of the snake men around them. Each of their hands is blooming with brilliance. Some snake men fell straight down without any trauma on their bodies. It was obviously an attack on the soul.
One or two can hold it, but the problem is that there are thousands of them in one direction within the line of sight. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant alive.
“Roar——”
With an angry shout, he decisively activated "Half Man, Half Demon" and "Gigantamax". In an instant, the snake man's height skyrocketed from almost three meters to fifteen meters.
Around him, the snake man next to him looked confused.
No, how did you change?
The old priest, who was concentrating on "Snake's Gutter", almost threw the hourglass out when his hand shook.
“Boom——”
The snake's tail on its lower body swung, crushing the strange creatures that were attacking at lightning speed.
"Dragon Poison"!
A large amount of green venom surged, like a lake erupting and a flood bursting its banks.
The bloody battlefield suddenly turned green.
“There are more in the sky.”
The green venom evaporated and turned into green poisonous mist, turning into a huge poisonous cloud and rising into the sky. When some creatures touch them, they immediately turn green and fall from the air with a crackle like dumplings.
The creatures on the ground were even more miserable. Some of the weaker cannon fodder were simply corroded by the venom, leaving not even a bit of bone residue behind.
Of course, there are also powerful creatures that are not afraid of poison. Some are even immune to the poison, and they are still killing snake people.
It’s not that the Snake people are weak. A race that can rule a continent for hundreds of thousands of years. Just thinking about it with your toes, you know in your heart that it is definitely not weak.
The problem is that there are too many, too many, too many enemies, and it is impossible to kill them all. It is impossible to kill them all. The snake people were completely piled to death. Just like the BOSS in online games, the value will be higher when the players gather together.
BOSS?
Just a little chicken.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
He Sheng, who is more than ten meters tall, naturally attracts the enemy's attack. However, his powerful body was able to resist everything.
Hide?
Hidden away, do you think he is trying to show off?
There is no way to hide. Under the overwhelming AOE, there is no way to hide. Unless you use "Possessed by a Evil Ghost" to escape into the real world.
The snake's tail swam, reaching the direction with the largest number of enemies in an instant. It was also the line of defense where the snake people were about to collapse.
He opened his mouth again, and a large cloud of mist poured out of it.
Dark clouds quickly spread across the skyline, covering the blue sky almost in a flash.
"Rumble~~~"
Thunder flashed and heavy rain fell.
"Magic Power"!
Thirty seconds of invincibility is enabled.
"Ultimate Thunder!"
"Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~~~~"
A blue thunder and lightning like a stone pillar struck down from the dark clouds. It is worth mentioning that the diameter of this thing is simply outrageous, a full kilometer.
"Boom——"
The Thunder Lord smashed down, and countless creatures that were approaching were shattered.
Of course, some snake people were also wiped out.
"Ultimate Thunder" is like this, there is no distinction between the enemy and ourselves, we will perish together. Anyway, in the dungeon, except for the old priest, he didn't care about anyone's life.
"It's done!!"
As soon as the words fell, the "Snake's Leak" in the old priest's hand suddenly shattered.
Yes, it broke.
Then, endless blue sand spread in all directions. Falling on some creatures, they suddenly undergo startling changes.
In three or five breaths, the enemy's bodies were torn apart, and a freshly baked snake man emerged from the two halves of the body! !
“???”
No, the effect is too overbearing.
He Sheng was secretly dumbfounded. No wonder the old man dared to say that he could turn defeat into victory as long as he held on for a while. Well, if you turn all your enemies into your own clansmen, how can you not win?
“No, no, no, how did I become a snake?”
"No, no, I can save you."
A group of creatures transformed into snake-men yelled like crazy one by one.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Unfortunately, they were engulfed by the attack.
Some creatures completed their transformation and committed suicide without saying a word. Their attitude was so resolute that people were stunned. All in all, the enemies only conveyed one belief: anyone who is a snake must die!
Unfortunately, determination can't stop the blue sand from flying away, let alone prevent them from transforming into snake people one by one. Previously, the snake-men clan was on the verge of collapse, but now as more and more enemies transform, their pressure suddenly eases.
The enemies started fighting with the transformed snake people. Obviously, some creatures don't want to die, so they can only turn against their former companions and fight each other.
“Buzz——”
“???”
He Sheng felt something in his heart and turned to look at the skyline.
grass! !
What did he see?
A snake eye appeared in the dark clouds, filling the entire sky.
