Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"We lost contact with him a few minutes ago."

Moreover, Old Zhao's emblem positioning hasn't changed for several minutes..."

In the heavy rain, a girl wearing a dark red cloak stood still, her body trembling slightly.

Then it shot out like an arrow, speeding forward.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Maybe…maybe he’s just tired…” Hongying said through gritted teeth, her voice already trembling with tears.

"Red Tassel..."

"Shut up!!" Hongying roared.

"Red Tassel! Old Zhao's emblem location has just changed!"

And... I'm getting closer and closer to you!

Hongying subconsciously stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on the corner not far away...

A muffled rumble of thunder came from the clouds high in the sky, and the pouring rain, like a curtain of water, obscured her vision.

In the dim light, a figure walked briskly through the rain.

He was a boy.

Behind him was another person wearing a dark red cloak.

But... that person didn't seem to be moving at all.

Hongying rushed towards Lin Qiye at top speed, "Is Brother Kongcheng alright?"

Zhao Kongcheng struggled to lift his head and grinned:

"Hong... Hongying, I cough... I'm fine..."

Behind, ghosts...ghosts..."

Hongying stepped forward and took Zhao Kongcheng from Lin Qiye's back.

"Brother Kongcheng! Stop talking, I'll take you to find Xiaonan."

Hongying held Zhao Kongcheng with one hand and handed the spear to Lin Qiye with the other, forcing a smile.

"Little brother, do me a favor and keep up with me."

Lin Qiye nodded blankly and took the spear.

Hongying immediately rushed out, and Lin Qiye, after realizing what was happening, quickly followed.

"Xiao Nan, get ready. Kong Cheng is badly injured and is already hallucinating."

He said he was being chased by a ghost.

……

"Fantastic! We've finally reached the pinnacle!"

After Chen Shu ate the corpse of the Ghost-Faced King, he instantly felt his body filled with energy.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he successfully broke through to the Zhan Realm!

"System, how strong is my combat power right now?" Chen Shu asked excitedly.

"The host's current combat strength is comparable to that of a weak Pool Realm cultivator. If he encounters a stronger Pool Realm cultivator, he will be able to put up a fight thanks to his super recovery ability."

Chen Shu nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, okay. Next, we'll just have to wait for the Nanda snake demon incident at No. 2 Middle School in half a month."

We must get as many Nanda snake demon corpses as possible, and keep some to eat.

As for the other part, I wonder if it will allow me to break through to the Pool Realm.

……

Peace Office.

basement.

A boy sat on the sofa with his head down, while there were six other people in the room.

On the single sofa, Hongying, her hair still damp, sat with her legs drawn up, her eyes slightly red.

"I don't know the specifics. Kongcheng fainted before he could say anything to me."

Wu Xiangnan frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Lin Qiye, right? According to you, the Ghost-Faced King wasn't dead when you left?"

Lin Qiye raised his head and spoke calmly.

"Zhao Kongcheng cut off its head, but... it came back to life."

But then another mysterious entity appeared, telling us to go first and leave the Ghost-Faced King to it.

Hongying suddenly raised her head and looked at Si Xiaonan.

“I understand. Kongcheng wasn’t hallucinating back then. It was reminding me that Ghost Face King wasn’t dead.”

Si Xiaonan looked at Hongying, pouted,

"Sister Hongying, you scared me to death! I thought Uncle Zhao had seen the Black and White Impermanence."

Chen Muye, who was leaning against the pillar, twitched his lips but didn't say anything.

Wu Xiangnan spoke again, asking three questions at once.

"Lin Qiye, that mysterious creature is black? Did you see it last time? Do you think it poses any threat to humans?"

Lin Qiye nodded affirmatively, then shook his head.

"I did see it last time; it was completely black, and its eyes and mouth were a bit... scary."

Based on my two encounters with it, it... is indeed on humanity's side.

Hongying continued Lin Qiye's words:

"Kongcheng told me yesterday that the mysterious creature had contacted him; its true form is a dog."

Moreover, it also gave Kongcheng a small medicine bottle as a gift.

Wu Xiangnan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Hongying.

"Old Zhao, why did you only tell me such important information and not me?"

Hongying, you too, didn't you even tell me?

Hongying glared at Wu Xiangnan and said:

"Wu Xiangnan! Your teammate is so badly injured, and you not only don't care about him, but you also blame him? Don't you have any conscience?!"

Wu Xiangnan looked at Hongying, opened her mouth as if to say something, but Wen Qimo suddenly interrupted.

"Don't you find it strange? Old Zhao didn't use the Ghostly Guidance, but he used the Forbidden Ruins..."

After hearing this, Wu Xiangnan lost interest in arguing with Hongying and kept thinking about Lin Qiye's description.

"It's very destructive; the blade is crescent-shaped and black..."

Chen Muye, who had been leaning against the pillar in silence, suddenly spoke.

"Forbidden Ruins Sequence 083, [Eliminating Life and Flashing Moon], an extremely high-risk Forbidden Ruins."

Instantly, a thought that should have been the least likely to come to mind simultaneously flashed through everyone's minds.

That mysterious being gave Zhao Kongcheng a bottle of medicine that could awaken the forbidden realm...

Furthermore, this medication has no side effects!

Everyone present, except Lin Qiye, looked at Chen Muye.

Chen Muye shook his head and spoke expressionlessly.

"It's not certain, but it's certainly the most likely scenario at the moment..."

"Shonan, check if there's any information about this mysterious creature."

Wu Xiangnan nodded, "Okay, I'll check it out in a bit."

For the past two days, I've been busy searching for the Ghost-Faced King and haven't had time to look for information about Chen Shu. Now I have to check immediately.

"Next, it's time to talk about you, Lin Qiye."

……

Opposite the Peace Office.

In the alleyway.

"This big yellow dog runs pretty fast, it made me chase it for so long."

The spot where Chen Shu was lying was relatively dry because it was close to the wall, had eaves on the roof, and the ground was relatively dry.

Chen Shu looked at the Peace Agency, whose lights were still on.

Zhao Kongcheng drank the Super Soldier Serum (improved version), so he should be fine, right?

crunch--

The door to the Peace Agency was slowly pushed open, and a girl with loose hair and fair skin walked towards Chen Shu.

Chen Shu felt a little uneasy the moment he saw the person who had arrived.

To run or not to run?

Judging from Zhao Kongcheng's state when he was carried away at the end, he probably didn't have a chance to tell anyone his true identity.

However, I wonder if Lin Qiye has revealed that I am a big yellow dog.

As Hongying drew closer, Chen Shu's tail began to wag involuntarily.

Upon feeling the tail begin to wag, Chen Shu immediately shouted in his mind:

Hey dog ​​tail, what are you so happy about? Put it down!

When Hongying approached and saw Chen Shu wagging his tail, her bad mood immediately disappeared.

She walked up to Chen Shu, knelt down, reached out and touched his head, saying with concern:

"Big Yellow, why are you still outside today? Aren't you cold?"
