Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"Bang!" A gleaming elbow, like a warhorse that could crush everything in its path, crashed into the feathered serpent's claws with unstoppable force.

Shining Ancestor wasn't even as big as Feathered Serpent's head, but its size and strength were undeniable.

The powerful impact slammed the opponent into the gray mist behind it. As Chen Xi had expected, once the wings stopped flapping, the surrounding gray mist would gather again.

Shining Ancestor was summoned by Chen Xi in advance, and it has now reached its strongest Shining form. Just looking at it with the naked eye is somewhat painful.

Although this flash elbow strike looked ordinary, Chen Xi could say with certainty that no one below level III would survive!

"Buzz!"

The high-frequency vibration of wings sounded again, and judging from its source, it was the feathered snake that had just been knocked away by the Flash Ancestor.

"What?!"

Yang Wei and the others exclaimed in surprise.

They didn't understand the specific power of Shining Ancestor, but they did know about Tier III and its strongest form.

How can this feathered snake be so strong?

This is Gray Mist Ridge, a safe zone where danger levels range from Tier I to Tier II. The strength of the Feathered Serpent was overwhelming for them.

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, a sound of energy gathering came from the gray fog, like the sound of a large machine operating in the factory.

The sound was especially loud when everyone was holding their breath.

Moreover, the sound kept moving, as the high-frequency vibrations of the wings seemed to come from near and far, clearly indicating that it didn't want Chen Xi to find its location.

Holy crap!

"This guy seems to be preparing a powerful move!"

Yang Wei exclaimed in surprise.

"Be confident, remove the 'seems' part!"

The author is a meticulous person, especially when it comes to the quantity of words.

"Please remove the 'fuck' part!"

Yan Mingliang added that he only has verbal memories of living with Yang Wei, but no actual experience of living together, so deep down he is still a model student.

"OK!"

"Thank you both for your guidance."

"This guy's holding back a killer move!"

"Boss, is there anything else you want to change in my lines?"

Chen Xi did not answer, but the next second, with a "whoosh", a large area of ​​gray fog disappeared, forming a huge semicircle with a diameter of 100 meters on the spot.

Everything around me suddenly became so clear and visible.

Half of the feathered snake's body was exposed to the air, and its mouth was almost completely open.

The loud noise just now came from its abdomen, and a flying sword-like object was slowly condensing at its throat.

The sudden improvement in visibility made the three of them feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is......"

At first, everyone thought it was the feathered serpent's doing, but when they saw that the other party also looked confused, they noticed the scythe in Chen Xi's hand.

It turned out that Chen Xi had used [Harvest] to harvest all the gray fog in the vicinity.

I haven't used it before, probably because it wasn't necessary and the amount of fog was too large.

"Look, the gray fog is shrinking back!"

Yang Wei pointed around and said sternly.

"It seems that new gray fog has been replenished. Chen Xi's [Harvest] can even kill the Misfortune, so there's no way it couldn't remove a bit of the gray fog."

"It seems that the amount of fog here is fixed, and it will be replenished whenever it is insufficient."

Yan Mingliang quickly came to a conclusion.

However, the feathered snake didn't care about any of that. The flying sword in its mouth grew longer and longer, and when it stopped at 3 meters, it went "poof".

It was spat out of his mouth like phlegm, and the flying sword exploded with a "bang" the moment it came out.

But this wasn't Chen Xi's method; it was the feathered serpent's attack method.

After the flying sword exploded, it shattered into countless small pieces, which covered Chen Xi and the others like a rain of pear blossom needles.

It seems that it realized the teams were of varying strengths and decided to clear them out first.

pity.

No matter what kind of attack it is, as long as Lin Batian's [domineering aura] isn't protecting him, Chen Xi can use [Harvest] to reap the rewards.

Chen Xi swung his scythe, and the rain of sword-like needles vanished instantly, as if they had never existed.

This ability to erase attacks directly, much like an eraser, truly surprised the feathered snake.

It gradually calmed down, but that didn't mean it gave up or surrendered; rather, it chose to fight again!

A faint blue light gradually appeared on its body.

"The light of restraint?"

"Are you...a human?"

Chen Xi frowned and asked.

The Feathered Serpent's aura of composure was only a pale blue, just like his, and in terms of progress, it wasn't much stronger.

Now that he has the initiative, he is naturally fearless. Although he is using two Tier III extraordinary characteristics at the same time, his infinite lifespan and double mental power give him a lot of confidence.

"Get out of here immediately!"

"This is not a place for you!"

The feathered serpent spoke, its accent very strange, like an animal speaking human language.

Perhaps out of fear of Chen Xi's strength, it never unleashed any strange power, only releasing a reserved light to indicate that it was not to be trifled with.

But is Chen Xi someone to be trifled with?

He stood there motionless: "What if I don't leave?"

Chen Xi's gaze was incredibly firm, showing no trace of the determination she displayed that afternoon when she joined the Party.

Throughout this journey, even now, despite the brief encounter with the feathered serpent, those three sentences have not faded from memory.

here~

I'm here~

My fellow countrymen, I'm here~

They kept calling his name, and the voice was getting clearer and clearer, indicating that they were getting closer to their target.

"I am a human being."

After the feathered serpent finished speaking, the pale blue aura of arrogance on its body slowly faded. Chen Xi's domineering nature forced it to make a certain degree of concession and compromise.

"Or rather, I was once a human being, a person just like you."

"I know what you want to ask, so let me give you a brief self-introduction."

"One day, I suddenly discovered that a new word had appeared in my mind: 'outlier.' It even had a number: 12."

"I don't know what this is, but I know its purpose or power. However, there's a prerequisite for using this power: you must relinquish your identity as a 'human being'!"

"I rejected the temptation without even thinking about it."

"I am a paleontologist who has been studying a creature called the olm."

"This is the creature that is considered the closest to a dragon. I am fascinated by it and have been studying it for 20 years."

"The lifespan of the olm is very long, similar to that of modern humans; some can live to be over 100 years old."

"One day, based on information gleaned from various ruins, I successfully deduced the location of an underground river. Deep within this river, I discovered an olm that had lived for over a thousand years!"

(I'm taking the day off tomorrow, so there won't be any updates.)

(Reason: Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was suddenly notified that I could not bring my laptop to work. I understand that readers will only focus on the plot and not complain. I am saying this to apologize. My previous promise that I would not miss a single day of updates until the book is finished has to be broken. The pressure of updating will be very high. I will do my best.)
