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

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.

It was useless for Xu Shi to force her. The tricks he knew were nothing more than adjusting the sensitivity and doing this and that. It was not to say that this was ineffective, but in the current situation, it would not be appropriate to say anything.

In other words, if she refused this time with her neck stiff, Xu Shi would really be unable to do anything to her.

As for the consequences, it was indeed as Xu Shi said. Everyone would be exhausted to death here, and they would be exhausted to death in the most basic way. The three of them were all high-level "Upgraders", but "Upgraders" were not gods. They had to eat and drink water, right? They could not escape these basic needs.

But unfortunately, none of them had any supplies, and Poseidon didn't have any of these things in his body - were you going to eat the fish or drink the mucus? Or take a bite of the flesh? If you really took these things in, you would probably mutate into a monster if you didn't die.

After sorting out these facts, she sat up suddenly and realized a fact that had been overlooked.

This seems... a rare opportunity to kill Xu Shi?

Or maybe it's one for one. Xie Qingyan didn't consider it at all... But if Xu Shi died, she wouldn't be able to get out alive. Everyone's situation was equally bad. She couldn't kill Xu Shi first and then break the Heart of the Sea God herself. Her self-healing ability could repair the wound, but she couldn't create food if she had nothing in her stomach. The final outcome would be starving to death together.

But this is not a problem for Shen Qin. She has been lingering on until now and has long stopped taking her own life seriously - the fact is that her attitude has always been gloomy. If she can fight to death, that would be the best. If not, it would be better for her to end her life on her own and be less tortured by this demon.

It's a pity that she couldn't do any of these. There were forced orders at that time that prevented her from committing suicide. This even made her feel that her self-healing ability was a burden, and even the right to die in battle without any consequences was taken away from her.

And now...

Thinking of this, she suddenly sneered, "You shouldn't be so confident, Xu Shi."

If the other party hadn't told her, she might have done it without thinking, but now that she knew the ending, she gave the answer without even thinking.

Let's die together!

"So you don't agree?"

Xu Shi nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated her answer.

"of course."

Shen Qin said through gritted teeth, looking forward to seeing the other party's reaction.

"Well, all right then."

Xu Shi's expression remained the same as always, calm but with a hint of teasing. "I'm just curious, why do you want to die with me? Do you hate me?"

"What do you think?!"

Miss Shen Qin didn't want to answer his knowing question at all, she widened her eyes and said viciously.

"What's the reason?"

Xu Shi asked again.

"Is this even a question?"

Shen Qin narrowed his eyes. Doesn’t this guy just want her to say it again to disgust her?

Since they had already decided to die together, she didn't mind satisfying the other party's bad taste. She smiled and said, "Of course it's because..."

She should have blurted out the reason, but she got stuck just as she started.

Because...what?

She just felt her mind go blank and she had no idea why she hated Xu Shi so much.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It seems that this journey inside the body of Poseidon has brought far more benefits than I imagined.

Well, I said I would make 10,000 today, but I failed again. I can only say that I haven’t been in good shape recently, both on and off the court... I have always been a bit of a procrastinator, and then I encountered some things in life. I cried.

No, I'll push myself tomorrow and update the 10,000-word version as promised.

After writing this part, there may also be a small summary to talk about what will happen next.

By the way, my good brother’s book is on the shelves today. You can support it by placing the first order. I recommended it before, but later changed the title to "This Fox Fairy is Too Inhuman". It is a light-hearted and enjoyable story about a wicked man. It is worth reading. The link is below.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 238 I am your brother, Sister Shen Qin

Say something.

In this situation, it is not the right time to have a heart-to-heart talk.

But Xu Shi also noticed that this was indeed the best time to deal with Miss Shen Qin. As he had said before, there was no need to let Xie Qingyan or someone else do whatever he wanted to her after he went out.

According to his previous estimation, the opponent's progress bar is now 70%, and this journey has filled it up by at least 20% - there has never been such a good opportunity in the past, with waves of attacks on him, which do not give him any chance to breathe, and the effect is much better than breaking it down and attacking from a distance.

It can even be said that it is 99% possible. From this test, it can be seen that Miss Shen Qin has now forgotten why she hates him, and that resentment is just a habitual attitude.

This is almost the same as being washed like a blank slate. With just a gentle push from herself, she will completely cut off the past and gain a new life.

Oh... God knows how many strange things some people have in their minds at this moment, but they are definitely not suitable for children. The black light covers the body, and then up and down, left and right, BABA...

The only difference is how to push this last step, actively or passively?

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be much difference. They are both evil, so what does it matter whether it's the palm or the back of the hand?

But Mr. Xu is a person who pays great attention to details. He has aborted so many girls before, so he has to either be simpler and more rough, or more and more demanding in the future.

He has spent so much effort on Miss Shen Qin, so he certainly cannot relax on this last step. If she chooses to completely abandon the past, there will be no bumps after her rebirth, and the exquisiteness of this work will be even higher.

Of course, if she really refuses to obey, he will not just sit there and wait for death. He has many ways to deal with her. Miss Shen Qin thinks he has a hundred ways, but he can come up with a thousand ways right away.

No matter what, she couldn't really escape from Xu Shi's grasp. Do you think this black-hearted guy is so easy to talk to? He was just kidding you.

Just like when he forced her and Shen He, unless one of them died, he would really let the other go.

But now Miss Shen Qin didn't have the mind to pay attention to this at all. She hadn't even figured out the previous question. Her originally calm face was now full of panic.

"I am because... That's right!"

After racking her brains for a long time, she finally caught a glimmer of hope, "It's because you killed someone who is very important to me! Yes, that's it!"

"Oh."

Xu Shi nodded, and one sentence broke the spirit she had finally gathered, "Who did I kill?"

"..."

Shen Qin was speechless.
