The end of the world starts with failing the exam

According to Xuye, she actually didn't expect the situation to be so bad at first. After all, one or two sea monsters were nothing to her, they were just a bit troublesome to deal with. But then there were more and more sea monsters...

"There is a storm on the sea, and there is a sea monster in the sea..." Xu Ye said with a bitter smile, "Originally, I planned to go back to Inboga to find someone to support me, but the ship didn't obey the orders at all and was pushed away by the sea monster all the time. It was so fast. It’s scary, by the time I decided to abandon ship and escape, it was already too late.”

"You shouldn't have made such a mistake." Chen Bofu said with a frown, his words full of unabashed disgust, "You were much more vigilant in Yongye back then than you are now. How long have we not seen you now? , actually regressed so much..."

Listening to Chen Bofu's complaints, Xuye could only nod in shame, saying that she had indeed changed a lot since leaving Yongye, especially during the time she lived in Yinbojia. The comfortable days almost numbed her nerves. .

"If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have been captured by those sea monsters and fed to Dagon." Chen Bofu snorted coldly.

"This also shows that I am lucky."

Su Ye smiled charmingly and raised his hand to take the stone seal handed back by Chen Jing.

"Ajing, you and the old man came to Inboga this time to meet Professor Armitage?"

"Well, I came to see you by the way." Chen Jing said with a smile.

"How long do you plan to stay in Yinbojia?" Xuye asked with a smile.

Chen Jing thought for a while and said, not sure.

Because they came to Inboga just to ask Armitage for help. When they can find the "Deep Sea Singularity" and "Snail City", they can go back.

If you can't find it in a short time...

To be honest, Chen Jing is mentally prepared to live here permanently.

After all, he has nothing to do when he returns to the Western Continent. The only serious thing he can do now is to improve his own strength as soon as possible. Desperate to advance to the rank as quickly as possible is his first priority.

Maybe he sensed that Chen Jing didn't want to continue this topic.

Suye didn't ask any more questions, let alone what they were doing with Professor Armitage. He just silently sailed the boat in the direction of Inboga.

Maybe Chen Bofu killed those sea monsters too hard.

After that.

Their group was no longer harassed by the polluting species of the Old Sea.

In the sound of the waves like white noise.

Chen Bofu fell asleep on the chair with a blanket wrapped around him. After a while, he started snoring. Chen Jing also felt a little sleepy. He leaned on the sofa beside him and yawned while exchanging supplies with Qiao Youning on the light screen. thing.

……

[Qiao Youning]: The supplies are ready. If nothing else happens, they will be delivered tomorrow.

[Chen Jing]: Thank you, Sister Qiao! I appreciate it! Love you!

[Qiao Youning]: What's there to thank you for... By the way, there's still no news from Li Mobai?

[Chen Jing]: His name has not disappeared from the ranking list, which proves that this kid is not dead yet. He is probably under house arrest by Turing.

[Qiao Youning]: Well... it's possible! I see that many people on the forum have reported that the candidates in Xuankong City have lost contact. Currently, at least half of the candidates in Xuankong City have no news, and acquaintances do not reply to messages sent to them.

[Chen Jing]: In fact, Turing knows everything.

[Qiao Youning]: Well, you told me last time, so I'm worried about them... Is Turing planning to clean up the candidates in the Hanging City?

[Chen Jing]: At present, I can’t guess what Turing wants to do, but I have posted on the forum to ask the candidates in Hanging City to be more careful, because Turing has already known about the exam through their brains...

[Qiao Youning]: It seems that there will be more and more troubles in the future, alas.

[Chen Jing]: Yes, but this is just the beginning, because I always feel that Turing is holding back and causing mischief...

[Qiao Youning]: Do you suspect it has other plans?

[Chen Jing]: Well, it knows about the biology jump exam and the origins of us candidates, so... I'm afraid it will use another method to attack us.

[Qiao Youning]: For example?

[Chen Jing]: Expose everything.

[Qiao Youning]: This...

[Chen Jing]: Expose our origins, expose our purpose, and even deliberately guide public opinion to shape us into enemies who want to destroy the outside world in exchange for the continuation of the outside world.

[Qiao Youning]:! ! !

[Chen Jing]: I don’t know if it will do this, but if the identity is reversed from another angle, I might do it.

[Qiao Youning]: I... I'm fine here... Even if I'm exposed, the people in the temple won't do anything to me. I have the Buddha Mother protecting me. You should be the one at greatest risk, right? ! The old man's temper...

[Chen Jing]: I'm not afraid that the old man will kill me to avenge his grandson.

[Qiao Youning]: I know...I know you are afraid that the old man will be sad...

[Chen Jing]: Yeah.

……

noon the next day.

The fishing boat has sailed into the sea area called "Nagtut".

Standing on the deck, Chen Jing and the others could see the small island of Inboga not far away.

of course.

They could also catch a glimpse of the extremely well-dressed old man standing looking out at the port.

"Armitage...this old bastard who cheated his own death..."

Chen Bofu spat on his hands, stepped on the fender railing, and was ready to jump up and rush to the port.

"You help me keep an eye on him for a while and don't let him run away. I have to break his glasses and stuff them into his dog's belly today... Wait a minute, I'll go find a handy guy in the cabin, so I can beat him hard!" "

"...You don't have to go."

"Why?" Chen Bofu paused.

Chen Jing looked at the embarrassed figure running away on the shore, as if the running figure only hated his parents for giving him two fewer legs, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him as rolling and crawling.

"I'm an empiricist. I'll run away when I see you."

Chapter 588: Warm Welcome Gift (Part 1)

When Chen Bofu rushed ashore, grabbed Armitage and started beating him violently, Chen Jinggang got off the boat with Su Ye.

In fact, the island of Inboga is not very large, but its topography is quite rich. In addition to the cliffs and beaches along the coast, there is also a towering mountain shrouded in thick smoke deep in the island... That should be It was a volcano, but it was different from the volcano in Chen Jing's impression. The thick fog that filled the mountain pass was filled with light blue dust.

From Chen Jing's perspective, the thick smoke shrouded the top of the mountain and seemed to have accumulated into a thick layer of clouds. The blue light inside the crater was like a searchlight, shining straight on the clouds.

"Why does your volcano look so weird..." Chen Jing couldn't help but asked curiously, "Why is there blue light coming out of the crater?"

"That's Professor Armitage's laboratory." Xu Ye said with a smile, "There are many places on this island dedicated to Professor Armitage's experiments. The experimental site inside the volcano is the largest, with many large Ritual rituals are all conducted there.”

Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but become more interested in Armitage, because in his opinion, this kind of "scientific researcher" who specializes in ancient history and ancient rituals is definitely a rare talent in the world.

Because the "ritual track" thing is so ingenious, the deeper Chen Jing understands this thing, the more extraordinary he is able to notice... Because in the final analysis, the "ritual track" is a tool that can make a difference. special means.

An ancient descendant of Sequence Three.

Maybe you can kill Sequence Five enemies through some kind of ritual.

This is not uncommon.

But the problem is that "rituals" also have great limitations. For example, those ancient rituals inherited from deep space either cost too much, or the efforts are not proportional to the rewards. Therefore, except for a few of them, there are special Apart from the ritual of utility, everything else was difficult for Chen Jing to see.

But Chen Jing was really curious about the rituals Armitage studied, because on the way here he heard from Xu Ye that Armitage was not the kind of old descendant who was good at fighting, and he was also Rarely uses its own powers.

If he really wanted to kill someone, Armitage would only use rituals.

That's right.

Using those ancient rituals that he himself "improved".

Reduce the cost without reducing the effectiveness.

Even the old man had to admit that Armitage had his way.

Under the leadership of Xu Ye.

Chen Jing slowly walked into the depths of Yinbojia along the port path.

In fact, this can't be considered a town, it's just a small fishing village at most.

Simple houses, humid air.

There are also iron plates hung on the door frames of every household, and the ancient totems symbolizing Dagon are engraved on them.

All this is very similar to what Chen Jing saw in Bruna.

Not only that.

Chen Jing found that the natives on the island, like the natives of Bruna, seemed to have some social fears. From the moment they stepped into the fishing village, they never heard the slightest sound from the natives, except for the occasional sound by the window. A figure flashed across the room, or half an eye was exposed between the curtains.

Xuye was not surprised by this. It seemed that she had long been accustomed to their shy and introverted character, so she was still educating Chen Jing on the way. Although the natives of Inbojia did not have much hostility towards outsiders, they were still somewhat wary of them. of.

After all, the focus of their lives is in this sea area, and their lifelong belief is only in Dagon, an ancient god. They just want to "accumulate more virtue" for themselves during their lifetime, so that they can go to the deep sea to serve Dagon after their death.

Therefore, they knew very little about the interior, and they only thought that Chen Jing and others were fools who believed in heresy.

"Actually, these natives in Inboga are not that bad. Of course, it may be because Professor Armitage has given them several lessons. Anyway, these natives are not very hostile to us, and they will take the initiative to send us some seafood from time to time. …”

Suye led Chen Jing through the sleepy fishing village and along the path along the Inboga coast.

soon.

Chen Jing saw a towering lighthouse appearing in front of him...

This lighthouse gave Chen Jing a strange feeling.

There is no sense of bringing light in the darkness to guide passing ships.

On the contrary, there is something indescribably weird.

Years of erosion from wind, waves and humid weather have caused the paint on the surface of the tower to crack and become mottled, and at first glance there are traces of the wanton growth of mold.

These molds seem to be spreading according to a certain pattern.

They climbed up along the dark and black tower. The traces left on the path were very regular, like some ancient and secret totems, extending in a spiral shape to the top of the lighthouse...

From the moment Chen Jing saw this lighthouse.

The tower light kept flickering.

Perhaps because the sun was shining during the day, the brightness of the tower lights was not very high. It was so dim that it gave people a lifeless feeling. Occasionally, some crackling sounds could be heard from above, like something exploding by fire.

"This lighthouse was abandoned a long time ago, but Professor Armitage said it was useful, so it has been undergoing maintenance..." Su Ye found that Chen Jing had been staring at the lighthouse, so he softly introduced a few words, " Professor Armitage said the lighthouse had been a medium for a ritual used by the Dagon Esoteric Cult."

"No wonder this lighthouse looks so eerie..."

Chen Jing smiled and looked away, then looked at the self-built brick house next to the lighthouse.

That should be the destination of their trip.

Armitage's home.

I have to say that when Chen Jing saw the simple or even shabby self-built brick house with his own eyes, he was indeed a little surprised, because he did not expect Armitage and Su Ye to live in such a shabby place...

The simple gray and white brick house has no character.

The only thing that stands out is probably the white fish bones used to form a fence in the yard.

now.

Chen Bofu was holding Professor Armitage down in the courtyard and punching him hard, while the familiar figures on the side looked trembling, and it seemed that no one dared to go up and start a fight.

"Jingjing!"

The first person to greet Chen Jing was the bloated "red meat mountain".

"Uncle Pigherd!"

"Oh, I've finally waited for you..."

The extroverted swineherd was the first to run over, grunting so hard that he was out of breath. The muddy ground he stepped on was like an earthquake, shaking violently.

When he stopped, the fat all over his body was still shaking.

"Uncle Pigherd, it seems that you have been doing well during this period..." Chen Jing looked at the fine hair on the Pigherd's face and couldn't help but sigh, "It's smooth and smooth... You usually eat less fish oil, right?"

"Don't mention this, I'm almost going to vomit after eating this seafood thing!" the pigherder said in a dumbfounded voice, "You kid, go and start a fight! Otherwise, if they keep fighting, your hair will be pulled out!"
