The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 89: Crazy, yet calm, brainless, yet rational (4K)

With a "bang", the earth thread hit the solidified soil under Lu Chen's feet, and his head was instantly broken and bleeding. He rushed out from the ground screaming "wow wow".

However, even though he was screaming in pain, he did not forget to fight back. The mud he brought up was not wasted, and it rushed towards Lu Chen like bullets.

Lu Chen waved his sleeves, sweeping the dirt aside like a whirlwind, and then he came in front of Tu Lu and grabbed his neck with one hand: "Tell me, who are you? Why do you call me Tang Ruchen?!"

"Because... because you are!"

Tu Lu said this with difficulty, and the kitchen knife in his hand chopped directly at Lu Chen's body horizontally from below.

But in the next second, he was thrown more than ten meters away by Lu Chen and hit heavily on a huge tree more than one meter wide.

"Don't tell me? I have plenty of ways."

Lu Chen walked towards him slowly, and suddenly, he stopped and looked at a branch beside him.

"I didn't expect there was someone hiding here. You guys are really persistent. You haven't escaped yet. Do you still want to kill me?"

He stretched out his hand to grab the branch, but the branch seemed to have self-awareness and quickly retracted backwards. However, Lu Chen's movements seemed slow but were actually fast. The branch had just retracted less than half a meter when it was grabbed by Lu Chen.

"Give me, get out!"

Lu Chen fell forward suddenly, and a figure was pulled out from the leaves above and fell heavily to the ground.

"puff!"

The tree bird spat out a mouthful of blood, and the green branches behind it had been torn off by Lu Chen.

"Branches growing from your back? Mutation?"

Lu Chen was a little curious, as he had never met such a person before.

The tree bird looked at Lu Chen with shock.

"How come you are so strong?!"

She was shocked that Lu Chen's strength was far beyond her imagination.

"Haha, there are many things you don't know." Lu Chen sneered, and appeared in front of the tree bird in just three or two steps.

"Want to die or live?"

Lu Chen did not continue.

"Of course I want to live."

The tree bird's expression instantly became pitiful. She hugged her hands to her chest and tried hard to squeeze out a gap. The green branches behind her tore her clothes into strips like little snakes, revealing large areas of white, trying to attract Lu Chen's attention.

"Oh, brother, you hurt me."

A pitiful and charming look appeared on her face: "If brother is willing, you can do whatever you want to me..."

"Peng!"

The next moment, the tree bird's head was stepped on the ground by Lu Chen.

"Don't try that. I won't buy it."

Lu Chen looked down at the tree bird at his feet with an indifferent voice.

Tree Bird: “…”

If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Why do you have to kick me?
Lu Chen didn't care about the temptation of the tree bird at all, and said expressionlessly: "I said, you answer, if you can't answer, you will die, understand?"

"Let her go!"

Suddenly, Tu Lu rushed out from the side and chopped down Lu Chen's head with a kitchen knife.

Lu Chen did not hide, but just watched quietly, and the expression on Tu Lu's face became more and more ferocious, and his speed became slower and slower. When he was one meter away from Lu Chen, he knelt on the ground with a thump, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground. He covered his head tightly with his hands and screamed miserably.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

"You are such a bunch of bastards, and you want to kill me? Who gave you the courage?"

Lu Chen looked indifferent. Such a cultivator was no pressure at all for him.

Although they are also cultivators who have perfected their Qi training, they are all trash. Their fighting abilities are all weird and wonderful. Although they can be called Qi cultivators, their level of Taoism is far worse.

If he wants to fight, he doesn't even need to use his few trump cards, he can just fight a bunch of them casually!
His body was strong, he was proficient in magic, and the circulation and control of his magic power was more precise than that of ordinary people. He also had divine consciousness in his body. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to approach him. How could a useless cultivator like Tu Lu, who had no heart for Taoism at all, want to get close to him?

Idiot's dream!

A single divine thought attack could make him kneel on the ground and unable to get up.

He controlled the object with his mind, picked up the kitchen knife and placed it on Tulu's neck.

"I ask, you answer. If you don't answer, you will die. Understand?" Lu Chen repeated.

"I...I'm going to fuck you!"

Tu Lu looked at his beloved being stepped on by Lu Chen, and his blood was boiling. He resisted Lu Chen's divine thoughts for a while. He no longer cared about his head which seemed to be pierced by hundreds of silver needles. He roared and grabbed the kitchen knife on his neck, trying to take back the weapon and attack Lu Chen again.

But at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly loosened his control over the kitchen knife. Tu Lu used too much force and the blade of the kitchen knife instantly cut his throat.

"Pfft!"

A good head was wiped out in an instant, and the boiling hot blood rushed out more than half a foot high.

Probably because he died in a rather hasty manner.

"What a sharp weapon."

Lu Chen calmly waved his sleeve to wipe away the blood, admiring the sharpness of the weapon, but he was not shocked at all by Tu Lu's death.

There are eight people, so it doesn’t matter if one or two die.

Then, Lu Chen looked down at the tree bird again: "Okay, now it's your turn again."

The beautiful and seductive face of the tree bird changed shape under Lu Chen's shoes. Its expression was full of fear, and the branches behind it shrank into a circle. It trembled, fearing that if Lu Chen stepped hard, it would end up as a headless corpse.

"Wo... Wo can't be locked... if you lock it for too long, you'll die!"

Listening to the sound of the tree bird's deformation, he lifted his foot and asked the tree bird to speak properly.

The tree bird was trembling with fear. She remembered the record of Ruchen in the book. How could such a person become a Buddha?

"No need to say it explicitly, I'll ask you questions and you answer them." Lu Chen said.

The tree bird nodded. This was fine. What could the natives ask without having to say it explicitly?
You can get away with it by just fooling around a bit.

"Are you the chosen ones?" Lu Chen asked.

This kind of question is best ignored.

Shu Niao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! We are the chosen ones! Our mission is to kill you. It is a mission given to us by the Heavenly Court."

"Haha." Lu Chen smiled, but his smile was a little cold: "Wrong answer."

The kitchen knife on the ground flew up, and with a "puff", one of the tree bird's arms fell to the ground.

"what!"

The tree bird cried out in pain while holding its broken arm.

"If you cry, I'll cut off one of your limbs. Anyway, you still have two legs and an arm, and you still have three chances." Lu Chen controlled the kitchen knife on one of the tree bird's thighs.

The bright red blood dripped onto the snow-white skin.

The tree bird felt the hairs on its body stand up, and quickly closed its mouth. It used its special power to replace the green branches on its arms to reduce the pain.

"You...how do you prove that what I said is false?" Shu Niao wanted to argue a little more.

Lu Chen asked: "Do you think the Chosen Ones are from Heaven?"

The tree bird looked confused and asked, "Isn't it?"

She just had a quick wit. The three words "the Chosen One" are so representative.

In the world of Journey to the West, doesn't the meaning of "the one chosen by God" represent heaven?
This is also the reason why she nodded immediately. No matter what Lu Chen said, she just had to nod.

As usual, these natives will come up with a good show in their imaginations!

But... her idea was good, but Lu Chen was not a native!
"Are you afraid of death, or are you not afraid of death?"

Lu Chen said sarcastically, "Is there one life, or countless lives? I'm more curious, what exactly are you thinking about coming to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to kill me? You know the plot well, so you can do whatever you want? You just jumped into it when you were given a trap, are you really not afraid of death?"

Every time he spoke, Shu Niao's expression changed. In the end, Shu Niao's expression was extremely horrified: "You...you are...you are the same as us!?"

She suddenly remembered what Lu Chen had just said.

"The Chosen One... You are the Chosen One. What does the Chosen One mean?"

She stopped pretending. The meaning of Lu Chen's words was very clear. This Tang Ruchen might really know their identities.

How could the word "plot" appear in a world like Journey to the West?!

The meaning of the chosen one may be similar to the identity of people like them.

"I'm the one asking you, not you asking me."

As Lu Chen spoke, he pressed the kitchen knife slightly on the tree bird's thigh again, and the sharp knife soon left a tiny wound.

"Wait a moment!"

The tree bird shouted quickly, "Are you really going to let me go? What if you break your promise and want to kill me after I tell you so?"

"Don't you want to take a gamble?" Lu Chen asked back.

The tree bird was silent again. Yes, if you don’t speak, you will die, but if you speak, you may live.

Finally, she sighed helplessly: "I will cooperate, just ask."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Lu Chen asked.

"Some people are not afraid of death, but those who are truly not afraid of death are crazy. So most people are afraid of death, but not being afraid of death depends on the time. Sometimes death will make us have less treasures that can save our lives and improve ourselves. So when we have treasures, we will be less afraid of death." The tree bird said slowly.

She cooperated very well, but there were some things she couldn't express clearly.

"A treasure that can save your life and improve yourself?"

Lu Chen thought about it and felt that the possibility of "Lord God Points" was very high.

"So, if you have enough treasures, you can still be resurrected?" Lu Chen asked again.

Shu Niao nodded: "The premise is that automatic resurrection is set, and if there are still enough treasures, my points will not be enough, so I am very cautious. Please, don't kill me! As long as I know, I can tell you. You already know our identities roughly, and you should understand that our limitations are also very large, so there are some things I can't say, you need to guess it yourself."

Lu Chen nodded and asked, "You still have two bosses?"

Shu Niao said, "Yes, they are all third-level cultivators, um, what you call Purple Mansion Dragon and Tiger cultivators. Their code names are Lu Wu and Qin Yuan."

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, a very familiar name: "Code name? Divine beast?"

"Our organization is named after Kunlun, and each member is named after a mythical beast or creature in Kunlun Mountain."

Shu Niao explained, "For example, I am called Shu Niao because my superpowers are related to trees. The one you just killed is called Tu Lu, and he can escape underground."

Lu Chen didn't bother to know the name of their organization. He probably thought it was just a group of people united together, and it had nothing to do with their origins. "Why do you want to kill me? You are so bold. Don't you know that this is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain? You are afraid of death, but you dare to come here?"

Shu Niao sighed and said, "It was Qin Yuan's idea. Someone can shield our identities for us. No one can figure out our identities, nor can they know where we are. So as long as our actions are secretive and logical, we can do it. After all, they are in charge, and some of us are afraid, so we dare not not come."

Lu Chen was a little surprised and doubtful: "Aren't you going to be tricked this time?"

It would have been better if Lu Chen hadn't said anything. As soon as he said that, Shu Niao showed an indignant look on his face: "There is not much trust between our group. You set a trap for me, and I set a trip for you. As long as it is beneficial to ourselves, it's fine. But we didn't expect that they would plot against us even though we belong to Kunlun. Haha, I guess they know that this is the world of Journey to the West and are afraid that they will be caught as soon as they show up? So someone noticed something was wrong and ran away directly. I guess Lu Wu and Qin Yuan arranged for us to come here just to test it. If we complete the task, that's the best. If we are killed, it proves that you are on guard."

Lu Chen's eyebrows jumped: "Have you ever thought of this possibility? Have you ever thought that we might kill you?"

The tree bird smiled bitterly: "What can we do even if we thought of it? They are the bosses and the planners of the mission. If we want to continue to stay in Kunlun in the future, we must listen to them. Besides, there are mission penalties. We must go all out and risk failure... In fact, it is because you haven't come down the mountain for more than a month that we can't find a chance to take action. We finally waited until you left the Immortal Mansion, so we must give it a try."

Lu Chen shook his head: "So, you are both crazy and calm, both brainless and rational."

To put it bluntly, this is a very contradictory group.

As a player, there is also the threat of death, but most of the time, I complete the task with a player's mentality.

Their mentality is detached, and they believe that the mission world is actually their playground.

They will be rewarded for completing missions and will most likely be resurrected after death. However, if their origins are accidentally revealed in the mission world, they will most likely be punished with death.

Just like when Zhenkun died.

Until now, the tree bird dared not reveal its identity.

Sometimes I don’t even dare to express it indirectly, most of the time it is said through Lu Chen’s mouth.

The tree bird just used its expression to indicate whether Lu Chen was right or wrong.

It is different from the All Heavens Copy. There is no resurrection mechanism in the All Heavens Copy, but there is no punishment and elimination mechanism either.

There is no problem in promoting the existence of the dungeon in the dungeon world. Although the chosen ones are not given any preferential treatment, they do not have to worry about the risk of death for saying the wrong thing, and can better integrate into the group in the mission world.

This is the essential difference.

There is no upgrade or reward for the Chosen One after completing the mission. At most, he can bring back something that belongs to him to the real world.

Therefore, most of the chosen ones are rational in the mission world because there is no punishment.

But people like Shu Niao have to fight for the mission and stay calm to complete it, but they also have a resurrection mechanism, so this group seems very contradictory.
