It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"Look at that time!"

While muttering, Xie Qingyan pulled him hard and pointed above his head with excitement.

Suddenly, dots of starlight appeared at the top, which seemed to be fragments of something, slowly falling like snowflakes, emitting strange light.

Chairman Xie's usually sharp eyes became bright and full of childlike happiness at this moment.

She had never seen the real starry sky, but this was what she imagined it should be like to watch the stars with her loved one.

The best thing is that her beloved one is really by her side now, which makes her feel very happy.

Xu Shi also smiled. Everyone naturally likes beautiful things, and he also knew what his fiancée was thinking.

And more importantly.

The "rust mist" energy in these fragments is simply off the charts!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 237 Let’s die here together!

"Be careful."

Sensing that there was something strange in the fragments, Xu Shi subconsciously pulled Xie Qingyan back a step.

In fact, there was no need for him to remind her, the bitch herself was also on guard - after all, she was not really a love-minded girl, and she would not be unable to walk when she saw the beautiful scenery.

The ones that couldn't really move were the creatures living in the body of the sea god. When they saw the little starlight, the fish immediately formed a line as if by conditioned reflex and began to migrate. The seaweed and corals that couldn't move also swayed their bodies as if dancing in the wind.

The starlight did not gradually disappear, but instead slowly gathered like a magnet, forming a smooth sphere, floating in this vast space.

"What kind of ore is this?"

Xie Qingyan blinked, his fascination turning into curiosity, "But it doesn't look like it... This sphere doesn't even have a solid body."

Anyway, she could clearly see that when the fragments gathered together, they passed directly through the school of fish.

However, the "rust mist" contained in the fragments had an extremely huge energy. As an S-level "Ascender", when she calmed down and felt it, she actually felt a sense of awe because of her own insignificance.

This has nothing to do with her personality. It is simply the subconscious instinctive reaction of the weak when facing the strong. It is the basic law of the survival of the fittest.

"Certainly not."

Xu Shi also had the same feeling, which made him roughly judge, "I feel that this is more like..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the sphere changed again.

The sphere, which had been relatively stable, suddenly shrank inwards as if taking a deep breath, and then exploded silently. However, it did not turn into starlight again. Instead, it was wrapped in brilliant colorful light, creating ripples.

The shock wave came so quickly that Xu Shi didn't have time to react before he felt a warm current flowing through his body.

The feeling is not bad, on the contrary, it feels like a spa, soft and comfortable.

He could even feel that the injuries he had suffered from the impact had recovered to a certain extent. This was much more effective than Xie Qingyan's medicine, and it only took a few seconds.

Ok……

The fiancée naturally felt all of this as well. Recovery from her injuries was simply the best thing at this moment, but her first reaction was to ask about Xu Shi's condition, "How are you?"

This is not something that can be taken lightly. Just because she recovered her health doesn't mean the same applies to Xu Shi.

Xu Shi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. "I'm fine."

"It's okay."

Xie Qingyan was relieved and asked with relief, "So what did you say just now, this sphere looks more like?"

"...It's more like a manifestation of the energy of "Rust Mist", isn't it?"

Xu Shi calmed his breath and continued his analysis, "Or, don't you think this looks like some organ of the Sea God?"

"Like... a heart?"

The fiancée suddenly showed a look of realization.

This statement is quite appropriate, because these ripples are completely different from the previous spikes. At least they do not carry any hostility. Instead, they are more like an internal cycle of this small ecosystem.

Because the fish and plants here also obtain nutrients from it, they become visibly more energetic, and the scales on their bodies become smoother.

"I was just guessing at first, but after feeling that these ripples seemed to be actively nourishing us, I became more certain."

Xu Shi continued, "This may be the reason why Poseidon has been under siege for so long and still remains energetic."

After all, these ripples mainly nourish the surrounding flesh walls, that is, the sea god himself, which can be easily seen from the excited wriggling.

Those schools of fish were just a by-product. If you think about it carefully, the sea god has existed for so long, they may not be the only ones who survived being devoured. There will always be some fish that slip through the net.

Of course, Poseidon would not pay special attention to them. How much nutrients can these things take away? Over time, such a peculiar ecosystem was formed.

Xu Shi and his group, who came here by accident, were tacitly accepted as part of the ecosystem and enjoyed such benefits.

"What on earth is this thing..."

Xie Qingyan sighed, she could only say that the appearance of Poseidon refreshed many of her perceptions. The most intuitive feeling was that this thing didn't look like a living creature at all, whether in appearance, strength or internal circulation, at least it was unlike anything she had ever seen.

"Who knows? Maybe it was just a small tentacle monster in the sea, and due to various coincidences, it became the ancient god-like existence it is today."

Xu Shi looked relaxed. Since he was not doing scientific research, he was too lazy to think deeply about it.

But some things are obvious, like where Poseidon's energy comes from.

Now it seems that this creature should have the means to extract and transform the "rust mist" energy in the seawater, so that it can continuously carry out such a cycle of aggregation and explosion. Devouring marine life is actually a leisure entertainment, and most of the time it is just following the instincts of the creatures.

No wonder its blood is so thick - the seawater is endless, which means that the blood packs of the sea god are endless, and it can recover so much in just one cycle. In this state, what's the point of cutting off a thousand or ten thousand tentacles? The hit is not as fast as the recovery.

I still underestimated my opponent... Xu Shi slapped his head in annoyance. It is indeed easy for people to become conceited when things go too smoothly.

But he soon let it go. What's the point of regretting now? Since it has come to this, he should make the best of it and think about what to do next.

"Let's act quickly."

Thinking of this, his attitude became more serious. "If this continues, not only us, but also the people outside will be dragged to death."

"What are you going to do?"

Xie Qingyan agreed very much and asked about his plan calmly.

"The answer is written on the riddle, isn't it?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Since the Sea God relies on this method to recover, we should cut it off at the root."

"you want……"

The bitch was not a fool and immediately understood what he meant.

He wants to destroy the heart of the sea god!

"Don't you think it's cool?"

Xu Shi smiled and nodded, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, "This may be the only way to get out. Of course, it's not that easy."

Destroying the Heart of Poseidon is easier said than done.

First of all, this thing has no entity. As mentioned before, it is a manifestation of energy that is too dense and concrete. The only chance is only those few seconds in each cycle when the fragments gather into a sphere. If you miss it, you will be empty-handed and won't even be able to find a target.

Secondly, although there are countless such cycles, there is only one chance to attack. Who knows if the attack fails and some protection mechanism will be triggered? If you can't handle it, you will have to bear the consequences.

Finally, we have to consider the aftermath. Such behavior is equivalent to hitting a bomb with a hammer. Once such a concentrated energy ball is detonated by abnormal means, it goes without saying how terrifying the energy outburst will be.

In other words, this is a way out, but it may also be a dead end.

"You might die. Are you scared?"

Realizing this, he took a deep breath, looked at Xie Qingyan and asked.

"It would be nice to die with you."

The bitch smiled back and answered straightforwardly.

She was even a little proud. "I even feel a little excited. Those little bastards around you have been pestering you for so long, but in the end, I am the one who enjoys this treatment. Get out of here!"

It was a normal smile, but it looked a bit strange when paired with these words. It even gave people the feeling that the tsundere had mutated and turned into a yandere...

But when he heard her say that, the smile on Xu Shi's face became even more intense. At first glance, the two of them standing face to face gave people the feeling of looking in the mirror.

Yes, they are not afraid of death, or rather, they all know very well that they would rather be beaten to death than be killed by a bear.

To put it more politely, a man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Anyway, Xu Shi is not afraid. If he had that kind of personality, he would have turned a deaf ear to the existence of "Heaven's Law" and chosen to hide when he knew about it, instead of exploring the wider world like he is now, trying to find out the truth hidden behind the scenes as much as possible.

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask her."

Xie Qingyan was very pleased that Xu Shi had the same idea as him, and pointed at Shen Qin beside him happily, "If you decide to do this, she will be the key to the execution, right?"

This is really true. It is said that a hammer is used to smash the bomb, but neither Xu Shi nor Xie Qingyan are qualified to be the hammer. Only Shen Qin can do something that requires the use of force.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi suddenly felt a little fortunate. It was true that you reap what you sow. If he had not implanted the command in Shen Qin at that time, but used other means, now only he and Xie Qingyan would be trapped here. That would be a real dead end with no solution.

So, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will indeed bring good rewards... Oh, I was planning to punish her severely? That's fine.

Xu Shi smiled in his heart, then looked at Miss Shen Qin meaningfully and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep, get up, what do you think of this plan?"

Hearing this, Shen Qin, who was leaning against the side with his eyes closed, opened his eyes reluctantly.

In fact, she doesn't need to rest at all. With the blessing of her self-healing ability, Shen Qin's physical fitness is not affected at all. She just looks a little miserable. Her battle suit is tattered, and you can see large areas of white without much effort. In addition to the spikes, there is also a lot of corrosive mucus falling, which she has to deal with... She can heal herself, but her clothes can't, and there are no new clothes for her to change.

But this does not mean that her mental state is good. On the contrary, she looks very haggard now.

This was also inevitable. Every time the command to "protect Xu Shi" took effect, she would be invaded by the pleasure brought by dopamine. This was repeated at least twenty or thirty times along the way... With such a high frequency of repetition in a short period of time, it was already a sign of her strong mental strength that she did not break down.

But she was inevitably a little numb, so when faced with Xu Shi's question, she just nodded woodenly, "Why bother asking me what my attitude is? What does it matter if I object?"

She was simply forced to carry out the task by him, and she was well aware of his methods.

“Not necessarily.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Shi changed the subject and shook his finger seriously, "I choose to respect you this time. If you don't want to, then we will die here together."

? !

Shen Qin wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. Is this something he could say?

However, after repeatedly confirming that this was indeed the case, she suddenly realized that it was true... As the main attacker, before she blew up the Heart of Poseidon, this had nothing to do with Xu Shi's personal safety, because this place was very safe, unlike the previous tentacle road that was full of dangers.
