No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"I have never died."

As Da Tou emerged from the large cocoon, the silk threads attached to his back quickly lost their vitality the moment they were removed from his body, turning withered and lifeless, just like the other silk threads around him.

"I am just sleeping, waiting for you to come back."

"wait for me?"

The Sand Demon asked nervously, "Then I shouldn't be too late, right?"

"No, it's just right." Big Head shook his head with a smile.

The Sand Demon breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Actually, I should have seen you when I came last time, but for some reason, I only saw your bones last time, but not you in person. I wish I had found you last time."

"I wasn't here last time," Big Head said. "It's normal that you couldn't find me."

The Sand Demon was taken aback: "But haven't you always..."

Upon hearing this, Big Head laughed loudly: "No, I was the first one to wake up among all of us. I've been outside the whole time."

"Then how could you..." the Sand Demon asked, puzzled.

“Because when I came back…” Big Head’s smile vanished, replaced by a sinister tone, “I couldn’t find any of the bones I left behind…”

“Uh… what does this mean…” The Sand Demon realized something.

Jiang Shu already understood and explained from the side, "It seems that the person kept the bones themselves, that they were useful, but you came back and took them as a manhole cover."

The Sand Demon suddenly turned its head and glared at Jiang Shu, as if to say, "Do you need to tell me?"

Jiang Shu, having been turned away, simply shrugged and gave up, too lazy to get involved.

“That’s right,” Big Head said. “For some reason, I removed the bones from my body and left them here, intending to retrieve them someday. But when I came back, the bones were gone!”

He gritted his teeth as he said this.

"So, I sealed myself away and destroyed my face, just waiting for you to come back. I was sure that you would find something that looked like me and would take out the bones to compare. Then I would be able to retrieve my bones and be reborn."

"Why go through all that trouble?" The Sand Demon looked embarrassed and asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you just come to me directly?"

"Looking for you?" Big Head sneered. "Why would I look for you? Are we that close?"

The Sand Demon's expression changed, clearly hurt by those words, and he subconsciously questioned, "What do you mean? Aren't we childhood friends?!"

"Childhood friend..." Big Head shook his head: "A true childhood friend would never stand by and watch someone die."

"Are you concerned about that matter?" The Sand Demon thought of the expedition team's first visit to this place and immediately explained with difficulty, "We were all terrified at the time, and it wasn't that we didn't want to save you, but that we were truly powerless to do so."

"hehe."

In response to the Sand Demon's explanation, Big Head mocked:

"It was just a little erosion, the fingers turned to sand, and then they gave up, without making any further attempts, just thinking about running away. That's called being powerless."

I can let go of the others, but you, the person I trusted most, my childhood friend, if I remember correctly, you were the one who ordered everyone to retreat, right?

"Weren't you the first person to want to abandon me?"

“I…” The Sand Demon was deeply distressed, but still explained, “I am, after all, the captain. The situation was unclear at the time, and I couldn’t gamble with everyone’s lives.”

Jiang Shu couldn't help but say again, "Then you can let the others leave, and you can stay and try to save him."

"No..." The Sand Demon was taken aback at first, then felt a surge of exhaustion, and finally burst out laughing: "What's wrong with you?"

Big Head ignored the two, but his eyes flashed with even more hatred, and then he said to himself:

"So you want to live, but I'll make sure you don't. Actually, everyone could have lived, but as the first person to sense the Sands of All Things, I took away the power that you should have received, so everyone became an mutant."

But I spared your life, as a way of making amends for our past friendship, and also...

He paused, then said in a sinister tone:

"Hehe, you must have had a tough time these past few years, right?"

I want you to live with guilt for the rest of your life, to be the sole survivor, and to experience loneliness and despair alone!

"This is all your fault..." Upon hearing this, the Sand Demon's eyes widened in disbelief.

“That’s right!” Big Head clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his whole body filled with repression and ruthlessness: “This is my revenge for your inaction in watching me die.”

Jiang Shu couldn't help but blurt out again: "Are you a yandere?"

Finally, this time, Big Head couldn't hold back any longer.

"Who are you?! You've been yelling at me nonstop since the beginning, I've been putting up with you for ages!"

Chapter 175 Gods and Gods

"Why are you being so fierce? I'll just stay silent."

Jiang Shu shrank back with a wronged look on her face.

But the other party would not let Jiang Shu go. They ignored him just now because they were eager to expose their actions to the Sand Demon and make him suffer and despair. But now that they have achieved the desired effect, they will naturally be distracted to deal with Jiang Shu.

He had found Jiang Shu annoying from the very beginning.

Moreover, from his perspective, Jiang Shu and the Sand Demon's state was also very strange.

Why did the Sand Demon emerge from his shoulder?

At first, he thought it was the Sand Demon possessing him, but looking at the relationship between the two and Jiang Shu's ability to act on his own, he felt it was more like parasitism.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with him?"

He questioned Jiang Shu.

This sentence, however, triggered a keyword in Jiang Shu's underlying code.

So without thinking, Jiang Shu subconsciously said to Sha Mo, "He asked us what our relationship is. Come on, tell him what our relationship is."

But the Sand Demon seemed still immersed in the words and truths revealed by the other party, unable to extricate itself from them, completely unresponsive to the outside world, only muttering to itself, "It's him, not it..."

"Useless." Jiang Shu shook his head in disappointment and had no choice but to deal with it himself: "As you can see, I am now a two-headed dragon."

Narrowing his eyes, Big Head sneered, "Just because it has two heads doesn't mean it's a two-headed dragon. Besides, that kind of creature is just a legend and a fiction; it doesn't exist in reality."

"Oh, you mean that kind of two-headed dragon?" Jiang Shu thought for a moment and nodded: "That works too."

"What do you mean 'also fine'?! Which one are you referring to?!"

Jiang Shu just smiled and didn't respond.

After a verbal exchange, Da Tou's face darkened, and he became wary.

He realized that not only had he failed to uncover Jiang Shu's true nature, but he had also been led by the nose the whole time. Moreover, when talking to Jiang Shu, he was always driven by a strange impulse, unable to resist wanting to complain, and even forgot his original purpose.

Damn it... how can he be so good at dodging the question? Does he know what I'm trying to do?

Big Head hesitated for a moment after looking at the Sand Demon.

His original intention was to remove the Sand Demon from Jiang Shu's body and torture him properly, while Jiang Shu, being an insignificant fellow, was neither important to him, whether he was driven away or killed.

However, he was unsure whether the Sand Demon, in its current state, could survive independently after leaving Jiang Shu, so he hesitated to act rashly.

“You wouldn’t…” Jiang Shu frowned, realizing something.

"how?"

Jiang Shu pointed to his other shoulder: "Want to join too?"

I'm in your party!

Big Head was furious: "Do you even understand the situation? Haven't you noticed that I have a grudge against him? I wish he were dead!"

And what gives you the right to talk to me like that, just because he's right next to you?

Even in his prime, he wouldn't be a match for me. Besides, do you want to see what state he's in now?

"A useless person and a brain-dead person, do they really think they can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods?"

"You seem to have a perfectly normal IQ," Jiang Shu said in surprise. "So you're actually brain-dead?"

"..." Big Head took a deep breath: "I'm talking about you."

"I thought you were saying I was a god." Jiang Shu suddenly realized and laughed, "I was just about to say you have good taste."

"I've really had enough!"

Big Head was so angry that he could no longer contain himself.

At this moment, he didn't care whether the Sand Demon could hold on or not; he just had to teach this guy who kept challenging his bottom line a lesson.

As he thought this, a black crystal appeared on his forehead. At the same time, strange black patterns appeared all over his body, and he became like a demon god, his feet off the ground, floating in the air.

Jiang Shu was startled: "Where did this zebra come from?"

Big Head, already furious, became even more enraged upon hearing this: "You're asking for death!"

The next moment, all the silk threads in the hollow came back to life, drawing new threads from the withered yellow and wrapping them around Jiang Shu.

This was exactly the same move that the Sand Demon used against Jiang Shu, but the difference was that Jiang Shu could sense that the power of the curse was much greater this time.

You can see the difference with the naked eye, without even feeling it.

The black sand swirling around the silk threads resembled stars and the Milky Way, exuding an unsettling aura.

At the same time, the earth trembled, and the whole world seemed to be affected, with even the air pressing down on Jiang Shu like a tidal wave.

His feet, which were still on the ground, and even his skin, which was only in contact with the dust in the air, began to turn into sand uncontrollably.

Faced with the suffocating pressure coming from all directions, Jiang Shu remained motionless, watching in astonishment as her body underwent changes.

"Scared out of your wits?" Big Head sneered. "Even more vulnerable than I imagined."

After saying that, he slowly raised his right hand and then pressed it down sharply. In an instant, both silk threads and sand rushed towards Jiang Shu.

A loud bang was heard.

Boom!

Suddenly, a piece of the desert directly above was missing, leaving a deep pit hundreds of meters deep.

This doesn't mean the sand disappeared; rather, under Da Tou's control, the entire area of ​​sand was compressed and compacted into a sand block as tall as a person, sandwiching Jiang Shu in the middle, making its density extremely astonishing.

Seeing this, Big Head's gaze grew even colder: "In your next life, talk less nonsense, lest you turn into a pancake again."

Then he sighed again.

"It's a pity I can't enjoy your despair for long. It was only a moment, and it's not enough to quell the hatred in my heart."

But just then...

Click...click...

First came a soft cracking sound, then a sharp crack, and when the sound turned into a loud bang, the sand was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

"What?!" Big Head exclaimed in astonishment.

Then he saw Jiang Shu emerge from the ground.

To be precise, he simply stood there, without changing his posture from beginning to end, and the sand, with its incredibly dense and hard sand, disintegrated on its own.

Even though his clothes were crushed to shreds, his spine remained straight, and his entire body gleamed with a metallic black luster.

"Trying to flatten me into a pancake? Haha, that's ridiculous."

Jiang Shu laughed and said:

"Don't you know that Brother Bing will never bend down?"

Upon seeing the black sheen, Big Head understood everything.

After calming down from the shock, he nodded: "So this is your real reliance. No wonder this crushing force that can destroy anything in the world couldn't crush you."

"I didn't expect this..." He stared at the Sand Demon, who was still looking lost, with a strange look in his eyes: "You even gave him this?"

"Since you already know."

Jiang Shu stopped pretending at this point and stretched out his hand:

"Then give me the one on your head too."

"So that's what you were planning."

Big Head finally understood the purpose of Jiang Shu and Sand Demon's visit:

"You're definitely not brain-dead."

"Yeah, just teasing you." Seeing that Da Tou was starting to take her seriously, Jiang Shu didn't waste any words and took the initiative to make a move.
