The end of the world starts with failing the exam

When Wei Nan told Yan Que and Ryan what happened in the square, they both looked in disbelief.

First, they didn't expect to meet the ancient alchemist here.

second……

Chen Boxu's strength is obvious to all.

Even though the old man himself said that he had been deprived of his power in this secret realm, he is no different from an ordinary person now...

But it's because he is too powerful.

It is powerful enough to be deeply rooted in people's hearts and even unforgettable for a lifetime.

Now hearing that Wei Nan said that Chen Boxu was going to die, both Yan Que and Ryan said it was hard to believe it.

"Are you sure that the old man was pierced through the heart by the ancient alchemist's sword?" Yan Que asked dubiously.

"I'm sure... I can't tell! I didn't look carefully!" Wei Nan's face turned pale with anxiety, but compared to being afraid, her tone at the moment seemed particularly angry, "The old man's chest is covered with blood! It's probably... I'm going to die!"

Yan Que frowned and said nothing, the hand holding the staff and sword trembling.

"I'm going to save the master!" Ryan said suddenly.

Although he is the weakest person here, especially after being deprived of his power, he is even worse than an ordinary person. He seems to fall apart even after running a few steps.

But when he heard that Chen Bofu had been stabbed through the heart by an ancient alchemist's sword, his first reaction was to save people... Although Chen Bofu often scolded him and cursed and said some unpleasant words, Ryan remembered how good Chen Bofu was.

Everything goes well with food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city.

It's all because of the old man and Chen Jing.

Otherwise, given his status as a stowaway from the wasteland, he would have been arrested by the council members within two days of entering the city.

Living in a crazy place like the wasteland is unacceptable to ordinary people.

Ryan's thinking logic is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

Fierce and cruel, he has these characteristics.

But he never showed it after coming to town.

Of course, these are not important. The most important thing is that he remembers his gratitude.

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

This is an old saying that his parents often say.

Although this old saying sounds very contradictory, even Ryan himself feels that in a place like the wasteland where trust is equal to risk, he actually still takes the bad principles taught by his parents to heart...

But then again.

Although all kinds of scum are rampant in the wasteland, there are always some people who believe in these inexplicable old rules like Ryan.

After all, people don’t just live for the sake of living, they must have some higher spiritual pursuits.

At least this can make them feel happy... Don't you just want to live happily?

"Are you going to save the old man?" Wei Nan looked at Ryan in surprise, as if he didn't expect this little skeleton kid to be so courageous.

"Yes!" Ryan nodded, "And didn't you tell me? The young master is in that palace! I'm going to rescue him!"

"It's better for you to die..." Wei Nan sighed, remembering the scene where Chen Boxu pushed her away, and couldn't help clenching his fists, "The old man asked us to run..."

"Run?" Although there is no expression on Yan Que's face, anyone can see the contradiction and entanglement in his eyes, "We seem to have no other choice but to run now..."

Hearing this, the giant crow on the side began to nod crazily.

Ryan completely ignored their thoughts and turned around and ran in the direction where Wei Nan came from.

"Wait a minute." Wei Nan grabbed Ryan. Although he was also terribly scared, he still said bravely, "I'll go with you!"

Even though Wei Nan has always been "critical" of Chen Boxu, she actually knows very well that the old man treats her pretty well.

And he didn't forget to let her run away at the last moment...

run?

Oh shit!

Am I, Wei Nan, the kind of unloyal person? !

"The worst case scenario is death!" Wei Nan gritted his teeth and said, regretting that he was too stupid before and turned around and ran away after listening to the old man's words. It's so embarrassing now that he thinks about it!

What's more, Chen Jing is still there!

That's my only friend!

"You should leave quickly, be careful that the ancient alchemist will chase you soon."

Wei Nan said, giving Yan Que one last look, as if he didn't intend to ask Yan Que to go with him.

After all, this time, it is obvious that I am going to die...

"Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Yan Que glared at Wei Nan, then followed closely with the sword in his hand, "Don't look down on people like that!"

"I'm not looking down on you..." Wei Nan pulled her and signaled her to get out of here, "There's no need to risk your life..."

"Then why did you go?" Yan Que asked.

"Chen Jing is my best friend!" Wei Nan replied matter-of-factly.

"He's my friend too."

Yan Que looked serious.

Thinking of the pigeon coop that Chen Jing helped her build, and helping her to save her from the hermitage when she went shopping... Although Yan Que had never had friends, she thought that someone like Chen Jing could be considered a friend after all!

"If you want to leave, just leave, hurry up!" Wei Nan frowned and walked in front, no longer trying to dissuade Yan Que.

If I go back now, there is a 99% chance that I will die.

All three of them understand this.

But they still chose to do it.

Ryan was trying to repay the favor.

Wei Nan did it for loyalty.

Yanque is doing it for the rare friendship.

The worst possible outcome is death.

What's so scary...

"You haven't run away yet?"

Less than half a minute after Wei Nan and the others ran towards the palace, a thin figure flashed out of the dense jungle.

"Very good……"

The figure running out of the forest was covered in blood, especially the long sword held tightly in his hand, which was covered in mottled blood.

"I'll save you time and go find you..."

"Damn it, why did this bastard come here on his own initiative?!"

Although they knew that they would most likely encounter the ancient alchemist when they returned home, Wei Nan and the others did not expect to meet him so soon...

Before anyone could react, Zhao Puxian suddenly stepped forward and stabbed Wei Nan with his sword.

"grass!"

Wei Nan subconsciously turned sideways and almost instinctively dodged a step back, narrowly avoiding the long sword that was thrust straight into her chest.

Although she has also been deprived of her power by this secret realm, her physical fitness is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, not to mention that she is best at close combat.

Compared to others, she was obviously under much less pressure when facing the ancient alchemist.

"I'm pretty good at hiding..."

Zhao Puxian didn't get angry even after he missed the attack. Instead, he laughed.

His artificial elbow was strangely bent at almost ninety degrees, and the straight sword trajectory suddenly turned sharply...

"Lian get away!!!" Wei Nan yelled.

Yanque also reacted at this moment, reaching out to grab Ryan's arm as quickly as possible, but in the end he was still a step too slow...

Only for a moment.

The sharp blade cut off Ryan's neck bone.

The skull lost the support of its cervical vertebrae and fell to the ground with a plop.

Zhao Puxian watched this scene with interest, raised his foot and stopped Ryan's head in front of him.

Just use your toes slightly.

Ryan's head screamed in pain, and several cracks visible to the naked eye spread from the Tianling Cap.

"I said that……"

"None of you can escape..."

Chapter 158: Immortal Species: Yegetos

When Chen Jing's consciousness gradually recovered, he felt that he might as well just die.

Yes, he really couldn't accept the disintegration of his body into countless scattered parts.

Especially when he's sober.

"What on earth have I become..."

At this moment, Chen Jing could see two pictures. To be precise, he could observe the world from two angles.

The left eyeball floats in the corner of the golden mire, while the right eyeball floats unsteadily in the center.

The images seen by the left and right eyes are different.

But not confusing at all.

to be frank.

Chen Jing felt like he was going crazy.

With his left eye, he could see his own bones floating in the mire, and with his right eye, he could see clean and complete organs gathered together to form a hill.

A complete human skin floats back and forth on the water...

"You are the blood descendant of the king..."

Chen Jing saw the armored monster stand up, trembling and slowly walking towards the golden mire until he stopped on the shore.

"You are really...the new king..."

Hearing its trembling voice with excitement, Chen Jing couldn't help but think of what it had said before.

Bathed in the king's blood.

Survive.

Prove that you are a descendant of the king...

So... am I successful now?

Even though I've become this incomprehensible, at least I'm still alive, right?

"I passed the test, right?"

"Yes."

"I have become what you call... the new king?"

"Yes."

Chen Jing's voice still came from the direction of the human skin, and his lips trembled slightly.

Even though this thin piece of human skin has no vocal organs.

His voice is also very clear.

"What is the new king..."
