The end of the world starts with failing the exam

"As long as you're not dead."

Yan Que breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the cane placed beside him and carefully drew out the cane and sword.

A seemingly empty scabbard.

At this moment, bursts of thick black mist poured out.

In just a few seconds, the black mist condensed and took shape, turning into the giant crow that everyone was familiar with in the past.

"Damn it! So it was always in your scabbard?!" Wei Nan stuffed a handful of peeled melon seeds into his mouth and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "I thought it had left you and ran away. It's gone! I haven't seen it yet..."

"It's always there."

Yanque smiled weakly, then raised his arms to hug the giant crow, as if he were treating it like a toy doll, and kept rubbing his face against the giant crow's head.

"Fortunately, everyone is alive..."

"Someone died." Wei Nan reminded in a low voice.

"Who?" Yan Que was startled and glanced around subconsciously. He seemed to find the answer quickly and nodded with a complicated expression and stopped talking.

at this time.

Chen Jing suddenly felt someone coming towards him from behind.

Looking back, it was Su Ye.

"Ajing, let's go first."

Xu Ye's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot, and she looked like an intellectual strong woman again.

She put her hands behind her back with a smile on her face, and the high heels she wore left light marks on the grass.

"Are you leaving now?" Chen Jing didn't expect her to be in such a hurry.

"The sooner the better."

Xu Ye smiled softly, turned around and glanced in Yong Ye's direction.

"The congressman said that Professor Armitage knows the ancient gods from the past very well, so we want to see him as soon as possible..."

"Revenge should not be rushed." Chen Jing sighed, "It is not that simple to get rid of Gehro."

"I know."

Suye stood on the edge of the hills, facing the evening breeze, looking at the Eternal Night City in his memory. His thin figure looked a little lonely.

"I just want to get busy again so I don't have to think about those uncomfortable things."

Chapter 266: The Deep Space Awakener Exposed (Part 1)

When Su Ye left, the swineherd and the jade tiger were still a little distracted, following her like zombies.

During the battle to encircle and suppress the first bishop Sati, the two peace officers were seriously injured, especially the pigherder, a reckless man who was prone to emotions. His whole body was almost pierced by the moonlight and turned into a honeycomb.

If Youxuye and Yuhu hadn't been trying their best to protect him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now.

The Jade Snake's injuries were not as serious as the Pigherd's, but most of the scales on his body were peeled off. The bloody torso exuded a strong fishy smell, and the green snake eyes were dancing with a silent and fierce light from beginning to end.

The three of them did not say goodbye to Chen Jing and others.

After simply saying goodbye and cherishing each other, they left from the hills in the early night against the biting night wind.

Late at night.

The only sounds that lingered in everyone's ears were the sound of the wind and the crackling of the bonfire.

Wei Nan and Yan Que huddled next to Bai Aji and fell asleep soundly, while Yegetos stood on the edge of the hill with a broad sword in hand, doing vigilance work together with the giant crows hovering in the sky.

Ryan has not woken up yet, but it seems that he has recovered quite well.

Around the campfire.

Only Chen Jing, Chen Boxu and Lawrence were still awake.

"You have a good life with big eyes." Chen Bofu held the cigarette that Lawrence lit for him in his mouth, "That kid was sent to the wasteland on a mission, otherwise he will probably be in trouble this time..."

"He will die." Lawrence seemed to understand the "big eyes" mentioned by Chen Bofu very well, and said with great certainty, "Moonlight is his natural enemy. I guess he will have to be faced head-on as soon as he sees Gheluo dive down. The coming moonlight 'sun' me to death."

"Big eyes?" Chen Jing asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

"That's the lucky Sheriff." Chen Bofu smiled, "The Jade Snake and the Pigherd can only be considered unlucky to encounter this... But it can't be said that they were unlucky. At least these two bastards saved their lives. Isn’t it?"

Only after hearing this did Chen Jing realize who the "big-eyed man" was.

Well known.

There are three peace officers in Yongye City.

But only Jade Snake and Pigherd are willing to show their faces outside frequently, and they are almost the only ones who go out and do errands in Yongye City.

"Are you talking about the Sheriff named 'Bai En'?"

"Yes, that's him." Lawrence nodded, "His nickname is Big Eyeball!"

"I have heard of this person, but I have never seen him, so I have no impression..."

"He is the commissioner responsible for collecting intelligence for the parliament. Although he is stronger than the pigherd, he basically doesn't know how to fight with others, so he spends most of his time hiding in the dark and peeping..." Chen Bofu smiled and raised his hand. He gestured, "He has a big eyeball on his head, that's why he has such a nickname."

"It's a pity that he's not here." Lawrence muttered, with a gritted expression, "If he were here, I would definitely see him suffer in front of Gehro. I was discovered by that bastard when I entered the city, and was later chased by the council. He also leads the way in killing..."

"Forget it." Chen Bofu persuaded and handed a cigarette to Lawrence, "It's been so many years. Besides, if they hadn't chased you down, we wouldn't have known each other by chance."

"Well, it's fate." Lawrence took the cigarette and threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to live peacefully for so many years."

"Isn't it right?"

Chen Bofu asked with a half-smile.

"Are you trying to say that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been bullied for so many years..."

Lawrence shook his head and said that was not what he meant.

"Don't act stupid."

Chen Bofu suddenly reached out and put his hand on Lawrence's shoulder, with a smile on his slightly pale and sickly face.

"Even Xu Ye and Yu Hui can see it. I don't believe you can't. After all, my disguise should be useless against high-level descendants like you."

As Chen Boxu spoke, he lightly patted Lawrence's shoulder twice with his hand.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jing suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But before he could ask any more questions, Lawrence spoke.

"I can tell."

When Lawrence faced the old man, he no longer had the fear of the past and smiled calmly.

"You're useless, aren't you? Your life force has been consumed too much and you can't make up for it in a short time. So your current strength should have dropped to... similar to hers, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lawrence pointed at Wei Nan who was sleeping not far away.

"Sequence 3... is about the same..." Chen Bofu nodded, but did not deny Lawrence's speculation, "Although my Sequence level is still at 7, I have too much overdrawn vitality, and I am unable to use most of my powers anymore. If you use it, you might not even be able to defeat Yan Que."

Lawrence smiled and said nothing.

Yegetos on the side looked over, seeming to notice something, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the broad sword in his hand.

"So what do you think?" Chen Bofu asked with great interest, "Don't you want to take this opportunity to take revenge and beat me up to vent your anger?"

"I think." Lawrence nodded without hesitation, unwilling to show any hypocrisy at all, "I once wished that you would die early, but then, I felt that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today. You just have to settle your hatred for a while..."

"What about now?" Chen Bofu asked with a smile.

"You have a good grandson." Lawrence did not answer Chen Boxu's question directly. He just scratched the hole on his face. What he said was not a lie. "He is very good to me, and he is still a good grandson." The awakener of the deep space sequence, the blood descendant of the Yellow King..."

"Just figure it out." Chen Bofu patted Lawrence on the shoulder and whispered softly, "Although I don't know much about the history of the old days, I can tell from the reactions of Randolph and Francis.' The Yellow King is definitely not an ordinary King of the Old Ones..."

"He is the one who stands at the top." Lawrence nodded and couldn't help but lower his tone, "Or God."

"My grandson's future achievements may not be worse than his." Chen Bofu calmly tempted him, "You should know what it means..."

"So I'm still here." Lawrence sighed. "I originally thought that being crazy for half a lifetime would be enough, and it would be nice to live a leisurely life. But now I find that I was terribly wrong. I still have a heart to pursue fame and fortune. Heart..."

Yes.

In this chaotic era after the old days.

What could be more rewarding than following a rising god?

"Grandpa...are you telling the truth..." Chen Jing looked at the old man in disbelief, his eyes turning red again, "Are you really..."

"It will recover later."

Chen Bofu sat up with difficulty.

Even though he didn't have much strength anymore, he couldn't help but want to comfort his grandson like before.

"It's also my fault that Grandpa is useless and can't take care of you now. During this period... Grandpa can't help you much."

【What the hell? ! Why did the candidate ranking list suddenly drop so many people? ! 】

[Who among you knows what happened over there in Yongye? ! I heard the teacher say that the breath of the ancient gods came from over there! ! 】

[All my friends who live in Yongye Market have lost contact! ! Something big must have happened over there! ! ! 】

[Go check out the points list! ! The first one on the list is no longer Chen Jing! ! 】

In fact, after Yongye City was devoured by Gehro, Chen Jing knew what would happen next, so he was not surprised at all when he saw these posts related to Yongye or himself in the forum.

Even when I first noticed a change in my ranking on the list.

He felt it was normal.

[Candidates’ Comprehensive Points Ranking]

【1】: Candidate No. 6666, Raphael Hiltus.

【2】: Candidate No. 0, Chen Jing.

【3】: Candidate No. 1111, Li Mobai.

……

【5】: Candidate No. 730, Tsukano Koshiro.

……

【9】: Candidate No. 2333333, Qiao Youning.

-

The rankings on the list are not just based on individual strength.

Chen Jing and Li Mobai have talked about this more than once, and there are also the materials of the latter few as evidence. It is almost certain that... in the other world, there should be an "achievement point" system.

Just like Raphael, who rushed to the top of the list and surpassed all the candidates.

He may not be as strong as Chen Jingqiang.

But he must have gained more "achievement points" from everything he did than Chen Jing. After all, he actually participated in summoning an ancient god, and this ancient god actually came...

Chen Jing looked at the name on the list with an expressionless face, and golden light danced in his seemingly calm eyes.

Hate exists.

Anger is more.
