Excessive ferocity due to caution

That enormous head belonged to one of the members of the Skull Church, the one Zhao Yi fought against Meng Nu during his first entry into the Infernal Realm.

At that time, Meng killed several people present, but let one go, seemingly to let him inform the church. If he committed another crime, he would be severely punished.

But to the outside world, the time interval was not long.

However, only a few months later.

But it seems that several decades or even centuries have passed since the beginning of time...

Earlier, someone told Zhao Yi that the reason why the Chaotic Realm was called the Chaotic Realm was because its laws were different from those of other small worlds.

Judging from the current situation, the time flow in the Chaotic Realm is much slower than that in other small worlds. There is no fixed rule for exactly how much slower it is; it seems to be constantly changing every moment.

Simply put, if you spend a day in the Chaotic Realm, you will spend more than a day in other smaller worlds.

"If it's that head, then it means the Church did indeed get involved..."

Zhao Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

"What church?"

Ji Chen was curious.

"The Church of the Skull".

"Hmm...I think I've heard of it before."

After pondering for a moment with his head down, he suddenly looked up:

"My sister seems to have told me before that the underworld is looking for people from the Skull Church!"

"That's right, it's the Church of the Skull!"

Zhao Yi turned his head and said:

"Who's your sister?"

Chao Fei, standing to the side, slowly spoke:

When Ji Chen mentioned his younger sister, he felt both proud and inferior.

He lowered his head, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a giant head beneath the sea of ​​blood.

The creature, whose face had been rotting at some point, was staring intently at them with eyes as black as holes!

Ji Chen was startled.

"Holy crap, look!"

"He...he...he raised his head!"

The two looked down.

"Don't be scared by it."

"It's not awake, it's pretending!"

Chao Feng lit a cigarette, raised his hand with a flourish, and suddenly a white light emerged from the distant sea of ​​blood, streaking across half the sky before returning to his hand.

"Hey hey hey!"

"The laptop has arrived!"

"All done, shall we head out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the void in this place suddenly trembled!

hum!

The three stood unsteadily in the void, and the method had already begun to crumble!

While struggling to stabilize his own innate laws, Ji Chen shouted in a panic:

"Senior Chao, didn't you say it was still sleeping?"

Chao Fei was also swaying, but his mouth remained steady:

"Don't worry, Xiao Ji!"

"It's definitely not awake!"

"At most, it'll just be a matter of flipping its head over!"

Ji Chen lowered his head and stared wide-eyed:

"But--"

Why did it open its mouth?

Chao Xin:

"You're probably talking in your sleep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chaotic voice reverberated throughout the heavens and earth:

"Who dares disturb my peace?"

Ji Chen felt a surge of immense divine power churning within the sea of ​​blood, and cried out in a fierce voice:

"Senior Chao, is...is it talking in its sleep?"

Chao Fei's face turned deathly pale.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that the thing beneath the sea of ​​blood would actually wake up!

"escape!"

He shouted, and the three of them flew away into the distance without looking back!

"Chao... Zhao Yi, you're going to get me killed!"

Ji Chen wailed.

Zhao Yi:

"Did you want to scold Chao Fei, but you didn't dare, so you scolded me instead?"

Ji Chen glared:

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!"

"I just want to curse at you!"

"What's your relationship with Senior Chao?"

The two were arguing when the chaotic voice rang out again:

"It's you again..."

"You dare take things from me? You're asking for it!"

Sa!

The countless tentacles extending from the giant human head beneath the sea of ​​blood suddenly straightened up, piercing out of the blood and hurtling towards the three!

"Don't try to take it head-on!"

Lend me your power!

Chao Fei shouted urgently, and the divine mark was unleashed. Vast divine power tinged the sky with a light blue hue, attempting to block these tentacles!

thump—

The tips of the tentacles made contact with the pale blue barrier and almost instantly pierced it, creating cracks!

"Senior Chao, are you even capable?!"

Ji Chen tried his best to transfer his power to Chao Fei, and seeing that the barrier was about to shatter, he felt despair.

He could already feel the terror of those tentacles!

If it weren't for Chao Fei's divine mark, they would have been torn to shreds by these tentacles in an instant!

"It can't be stopped!"

"I'm asking you to transfer your power to me so that you two can die together, and won't be lonely on the road to the underworld!"

Chao Fei stopped pretending.

Ji Chen was dumbfounded.

"Senior Chao, that's no joke!"

Chao Fei said helplessly:

"I told you not to follow me. I have the mark of a god, so it can't kill me for now, but if it wants to attack you, I can't protect you either!"

Ji Chen was in a panic, but he inadvertently noticed that Zhao Yi beside him had a calm expression and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Zhao Yi, even at a time like this, you're still pretending to be deep and mysterious!"

"Is there any way? Think of something quickly!"

"This barrier is about to crack. Once it cracks, we're both finished!"

Zhao Yi snapped out of his daze and quickly lent a hand to Chao Feng, greatly slowing the spread of the light blue barrier cracks.

This scene put Ji Chen at ease.

"Keep up the good work, Zhao Yi!"

"If we can hold off these tentacles, we might be able to leave!"

Zhao Yi ignored him and instead used the "Confucius's Unspoken Words" technique to speak to the heads beneath the sea of ​​blood:

"Has that person woken up?"

Upon hearing this, the human head sensed something was amiss. It glanced at Zhao Yi intently a few times and then spoke to him privately via telepathy:

"Who is it?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Yi's lips.

"nail……"

The moment those two words were uttered, the murderous intent emanating from the severed head immediately diminished considerably.

But it remained vigilant.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"The church sent me from the underworld to retrieve something from outside."

"What is it?"

"I can't say."

What do you do for a living?

"I can't say for sure. This operation is extremely confidential, and I can't reveal any related information. Didn't you notice that the shackles on my body have been removed? ... But I can tell you one thing that can prove my identity."

"speak!"

"I have a colleague named... Jiao."

"Shao? Hmm... It seems there is indeed such a person in the church."

In terms of sheer strength, when Zhao Yi first saw the rotting human head in the Infernal Realm, it was not even as good as the Scorched.

The two are roughly equal in strength, both being peak rulers, and should know each other's names within the church.

"But that doesn't prove anything."

The rotting head did not trust Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi withdrew his hand from Chao Feng's shoulder and calmly lit a cigarette.

"Are you crazy, Zhao Yi?!"

"You should have at least put up a little more resistance!!"

Ji Chen screamed in fright.

Zhao Yi ignored him and continued using his "Silent Mind" technique to speak to the rotting heads beneath the sea of ​​blood:

"This proves nothing."

"If you insist that I prove my identity to you, I can tell you something that only insiders know..."

The rotting head remained silent for a long time.

"explain."

Zhao exhaled a puff of white smoke and slowly uttered two words:

"The gods."

P.S.: Second update.

Goodnight, my darlings!
