Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 1499: Human Strain (Part )

As expected, the outfit and style suddenly seemed reasonable.

The word "guest" contains a lot of information.

Fu Qian's eyes immediately fell on the evening dress that was no longer so solemn.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you came here in your best attire."

It is also easy to understand the confusion behind the demigod Eco's pretending to be calm.

The party was full of friends, toasting each other, eating hotpot and singing songs, but suddenly they were thrown into a place like this, a place that was similar to a real grave. It is understandable that they were a little aggressive.

There is a small problem though.

"May I ask what the theme of the party is?"

"Your focus is truly unique. Also, considering what you described as your experience, isn't your current reaction too calm?"

He obviously noticed Fu Qian's gaze, but the next question still seemed to surprise the demigod Aiko.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, she did not rush to answer, but looked at Fu Qian carefully again.

"You should know that your story is not that credible. If it was fabricated to mislead people, it seems a bit unprofessional to reveal it so quickly."

"It is also possible that I deliberately acted abnormally to reduce the suspicion of misleading."

Faced with the threat that was almost beyond words, Fu Qian's tone remained calm.

What Eco said still sounds reasonable. When faced with a sudden crisis and even incomprehensible changes happening to one's body, one should feel a little uneasy anyway - just like her.

It feels like this is also one of the sources of current negative emotions.

Unfortunately, even if this perverse act is indeed intended to find a tool, I have never thought of playing the role of a simple victim and winning by doing nothing.

The reason is simple: you can’t win by doing nothing.

Fu Qian did not think that the demigod Eco in front of him had the ability to solve the current dilemma.

It feels like she even needs someone to help overclock her so that she can play a certain role in the future.

"If you say that, it seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out... But have you thought about the risk of me not believing it?"

And the effect seems to be good - while agreeing with Fu Qian's statement, Eco did not readily accept the possibility that he was really sincere.

Instead, on the trunk of the tree where the other party was hiding, grooves began to wriggle like skin texture, and even the liquid that originally soaked it turned dark red.

The next moment, amidst the splashing of droplets like rotten blood, the wriggling tree grain was finally torn into dense holes, and round flying insects crawled out from them.

……

Well, very energetic.

Seeing the gloomy old tree instantly transformed into a bloody insect nest, Fu Qian admired it in his heart while remembering his legs that had become almost wooden when he was at the Unseen Hill.

The ability of the demigod Echo is undoubtedly very special, and it seems that he can forcibly change life forms to a certain extent.

The thumb-sized, ferocious-looking insects flew in front of him in an instant. Fu Qian had no doubt about their bloodthirstiness.

This method is much more spirited than hiding behind a tree just now when one had to speak.

The motivation was successful. Even if he turned around and left now, the excited demigod Eco would make some moves next, which would be worth looking forward to - Fu Qian really left.

Without even a moment of lingering, Fu Qian leaped back the way he came like lightning, and at the same time reached behind him as if he had eyes.

As his five fingers flew, the attacking flying insects were accurately smashed into pieces.

Of course, this is not without cost.

Although they were far from being demigods, the bodies of these flying insects were incredibly hard, and their surfaces were covered with blood-thirsty spikes.

Under the recoil, before even reaching the position at the beginning of the mission, the five fingers of his left hand were only white bones. Lacking the qualitative change of divinity, the recovery ability is still a little poor.

While sighing, Fu Qian stretched out his right hand, and the two fastest flying insects turned into blood at the same time.

"Please wait!"

However, just as he stepped almost precisely on the birth point, a call came unexpectedly.

At the same time, it felt like the flying insects that were chasing after him suddenly lost their activity and fell to the ground from the air like rubble.

……

"Have you changed your mind, sir?"

His body stopped suddenly, and Fu Qian, who was really willing to follow suit, neither pretended to be puzzled nor showed displeasure at the sudden attack.

Glancing at Echo who was still standing there, he asked in a casual tone while observing the speed at which the flesh was clinging to his fingers.

"...Your reaction is very interesting. It suddenly makes me feel that it is not a bad thing to believe it."

His expression was a little complicated, but Eco still didn't want to lose the prestige of a demigod, so he quickly spoke in an emotionless tone.

"But this interesting reaction may be intentional on my part."

However, Fu Qian just casually added a layer of nesting dolls.

"When I said it was interesting, I took this into consideration, of course."

With a snort, as if to express his sincerity, Eco actually came out from behind the tree for the first time while speaking.

And at that moment, the reason why she had been hiding behind the tree seemed to become clear.

The position that was blocked just now, most of the left shoulder and even the entire hand, showed wavy tree patterns under the torn dress, and this part of the body seemed to have become like a dead branch.

"I regret to tell you that the direction you have chosen now is the right one."

Naturally, he noticed Fu Qian's gaze, and the next moment, Aiko's figure floated across the space as if weightless.

As she stood to one side, she did not hide the abnormality in her body at all and explained directly.

"This place may not be reality, but we still have to go in the opposite direction. This is the price of trying."

His fingers fell on his arm, and they really made a sound of knocking on the tree trunk. Eco showed a self-deprecating smile.

……

“I thought that if I kept walking outside, it would be nothing more than a fog at the edge of a dream.”

The action of just walking away was certainly not a pretense.

As mentioned before, after cheering up, for Fu Qian, whether he believed it or not, the next reaction of the demigod Aiko was acceptable.

However, at this moment, the other party showed such a sincere attitude of communication, and Fu Qian naturally got into the state in a second and expressed his own guess.

"I had the same thought, but unfortunately it wasn't fog... it was poisonous fog."

Eco sighed softly at this.

"You don't have to go too far to find it. My body started to decay after just a touch of it, so I had to temporarily transform into other materials..."

"It seems that the only way to leave here is to find it there."

Looking ahead, Eco was obviously solemn about the dilapidated magnificent building.

"Also, I can answer your previous question. The theme of this banquet is simple. There is a new member in the royal family of Larria."

"Although I had not seen this newborn of noble blood until one of my hands turned into wood... Of course, I seem to have heard it now."
