Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

The demigod calculated the distance and just slightly tore a gap, and found a new passage.

It would be overly optimistic to understand this development.

In Fu Qian's judgment, he is more inclined to believe that if Eco could tear a few more holes, he could find more passages.

The situation the two were currently in was obviously not a simple maze corridor or something like that, it was more like being trapped in a mass of wet flesh and blood.

If you want to drill as many holes in it as you want, you can do that.

"It's really not optimistic."

Facing Eco who was standing in deep thought, Fu Qian nodded and helped her come to a conclusion.

“…It’s even weirder than I imagined.”

Under his lead, Demigod Echo also took a deep breath and recovered his ability to speak.

It looked like she had no intention of stepping in, and it was obvious that she was not naive enough to think that she could find the secret passage by just pulling it.

"It seems like we are stuck on this long journey... We should try to walk outside."

"Don't be so optimistic."

Faced with Eco's regret for his action strategy, Fu Qian waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to blame himself.

“I think even if we go outside, it’s just a different way of doing the long journey.”

……

"So what do you think we should do next?"

The guidance from expert Fu never requires a second sentence.

The overly cold reality depicted in the film successfully silenced Eco for a while, and I even couldn't help but want to see what insights he had in the next step.

"The crying is getting louder, and my senses are being suppressed."

Faced with the challenge, Fu Qian naturally took the lead and listed the current problems.

"And the changes in your arms seem to indicate that you are being eroded by this place. It is obviously quite dangerous to continue staying here."

"That makes sense, but this raises a question: why weren't you corrupted—"

Eco's question came to an abrupt end as he looked at the other party's right hand.

On the index and middle fingers, strange dark green colors seemed to be seeping out from under the skin, forming a sharp contrast with other parts of the body.

"This is the part of the flesh that was shattered and grew back."

Fu Qian explained casually, but he was very calm about such a scene.

"Starting from the weak parts of the body and changing silently is consistent with my perception of certain dark forces."

"You seem very experienced..."

Eco seemed to have no idea what to say for a moment, and just gave a compliment without much emotion.

“Somewhat.”

Fu Qian was polite.

This is not an idle statement, the invasion from Araqir not long ago followed almost exactly the same principle.

"Very good...and then?"

Eco obviously wasn't going to dwell on this topic.

"And in this countdown situation, we can't even confirm what will happen if we continue walking."

"really."

"In contrast, there is one direction that is more certain."

Fu Qian changed the subject and pointed behind him.

"…You mean we should go back the same way?"

Immediately realizing what he meant, Eco frowned.

“It’s hard to say that the route has definitely not changed, but judging from the current situation, as long as we don’t take the initiative to open up a new route, at least it looks normal on the surface.”

Nod before paying.

"So if you choose a route that has already been taken, the chances of getting out should be greater... But it's not us, it's you."

……

"What do you mean? Where are you going?" The final turn was so shocking that Eco was obviously caught off guard.

"Of course I continued."

Fu Qian gestured towards the road ahead as if it was a matter of course.

"You talk so much, but in the end you don't adopt it, right?"

With a cold smile, Aiko seemed very curious about Fu Qian's explanation for this.

"You were the one who asked me just now, so of course I was analyzing your situation."

Fu Qian, however, didn't seem to think anything was wrong at all.

"My words will be slightly different."

"What's the difference?"

"I'm too weak."

……

Aiko said nothing, but Fu Qian pointed at his own face and talked.

"Considering the difference in strength, you may have room for detours, but for me, going all in might be a better option."

"Without a trump card, most safe strategies will lead to a slow death. I don't think I have that chance... time is running out."

After finishing his explanation casually, Fu Qian made a goodbye gesture without paying attention to Aike's reaction.

"and many more."

However, after taking only a few steps, a vague figure caught up with him.

"I'm not sure of your true motives, but it's clear that you don't know that much about the Night Watch."

The speed was even faster than Fu Qian's, and Ai Ke's voice was cold and firm.

"What makes you think I'll go out again?"

……

Is the effect so good? It looks like no matter what pops up later, I won’t have to do it myself.

Facing the demigod who was determined to reach greater heights, Fu Qian exclaimed in his heart.

Although the words just now were very provocative, for him, it was not necessary to stimulate this demigod to continue to be a tool.

As for the purpose of spending time talking nonsense,

"What worries do the Night Keepers have about the newborn heir of the Larria royal family?"

Quickly catching up with the parallel, Fu Qian asked casually.

"Why do you ask?"

At that moment, even Eco, who had just done ideological construction, seemed to hesitate in his steps.

"It is understandable that the former royal family still has some face for you, since you, a dignified demigod, have come to visit us. However, your Excellency seems to be a little resentful about not being able to see the little boy for so long."

Fu Qian, however, kept walking without looking around.

"So much so that I have to doubt your main purpose for attending this banquet."

"This ancient bloodline has a small population. What kind of risks might the new heirs contain? Why do the Night Watchmen need to keep a close eye on them?"

"I suddenly feel that... you need to go back with me after you finish this."

After the longest silence so far, Eco finally spoke slowly.

"Thank you for your kind words."

"...Do you know why the royal family of Lariya calls their bloodline the gods?"

After some polite exchanges, the demigod Aiko finally acquiesced to Fu Qian's guess and decided to share a secret that had been hidden to help deal with the current predicament.

"Isn't it the divine right of kings? If you want to rule a region, it seems better to have such a statement."

"Indeed, but there are many families like this, but only this one can be called a god."

Opening another door in front of him, Eco sighed softly.

"In addition to being extremely powerful, the high-level transcendents from this family in history also have one common characteristic, which is that they have no promotion process. It is as if a god has directly reincarnated into him at some point and chosen him to be the king." (End of this chapter)
