Chapter 275 The Culprit
Looking at Jason who was slowly walking towards him with a machete, Bai Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Jason, one of the four greatest killers in Western film history, is sent to the grave in every episode, but he always crawls out of the grave and swings his machete again.
Thinking back to the beginning, Bai Qi felt quite sympathetic towards this tireless young man who had killed hundreds of people. After all, among the four great killers, this guy should be the hardest-working one.
"But why does Jason appear? This isn't an infinite flow..."
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, then immediately started running.
Although I know this is most likely a dream, I’d still be a little scared if it really happened.
If this stuff is real, he will be in trouble...
But before Bai Qi could run far, he stopped on his own initiative with a bitter smile on his face.
The reason was simple: on his escape route, a strange man with a scar on his face and fingers like razors appeared.
A Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy.
Not only that, two strange-looking guys also appeared on both sides of Bai Qi. Including Jason at the beginning, all the Western killers F4 have arrived.
"Even if it's a dream, you can't play it like this. You'll die if you have a sweet dream..."
Bai Qi sat down where he was, concentrating on trying to activate the egg of evolution.
As a qualified golden finger, there should be an insurance mechanism. If Bai Qi is left with psychological trauma by F4, it will also affect his future development.
It’s just a pity that the Evolution Egg doesn’t seem to be interested in anything except the pet and ignores it at all.
"How about fighting with F4 ?"
Looking at the F4 around him, each one taller than the other, Bai Qi gave up the idea as soon as it came to his mind.
However, F4 obviously had no intention of letting Bai Qi go. They quickly approached Bai Qi, waving their equipment. When Bai Qi was about to take action, he suddenly heard a scream. The figures of F4 began to slowly dissipate, and the surrounding forest and crystal lake began to become blurred.
Is this, the dream is broken?
Bai Qi looked at the changes around him with some confusion, and then a tingling sensation suddenly spread throughout his body, and his consciousness returned to his body again.
Woof woof!
(See, I said electric shock is effective!)
Click, click.
(But Beta, you seem to have gone too far. Gamma feels that the master is almost cooked.)
Bloopers.
(The host's cells are still a little bit away from being slightly burned, and the cells are almost undamaged, so they should be fine.)
Listening to the discussions of the pets beside him, Bai Qi gradually understood. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he gently patted Beta's head.
"Thank you so much, Beta. If it weren't for you, I would have been scared to death in my dream."
Aa ...
(You’re welcome. These are what I should do…)
Beta was halfway through his words when Bai Qi suddenly punched him.
"But this kind of hypnotic ability should be able to be broken with your Demon-Breaking War Cry or Soul Whisper, right?"
"If you use this voltage next time, I don't mind having an extra meal in the evening, understand?"
Aa ...
(I understand...)
Seeing Beta admit his mistake, Bai Qi finally let go of his hand. Although the electric current, which was twice the limit for ordinary people to withstand, was meant to stimulate himself to wake up, it was more or less tinged with personal grudges.
"Speaking of which, have you found the source?"
Bai Qi looked around and found that most of the ferocious beasts around him had been dealt with. The remaining ones were blocked outside the valley by the metal wall simulated by Shuke and could not get in at all.
The levels of these hypnotized ferocious beasts were not very high. They were left behind only because Bai Qi suddenly fainted and the three pets had no intention of fighting.
"We don't know the source, but Alpha seems to be coming back."
Shuke looked into the valley and saw Alpha flying towards them with an unknown object in his hand.
Crunch.
(Boss, this thing seems to be the cause of the problem here.)
Alpha threw the unknown object in front of Bai Qi. After seeing the burn marks all over Bai Qi's body, the fire of his soul suddenly shook violently.
Crunch.
(Boss, are you injured?)
The reason why Alpha dared to go to the valley to investigate with peace of mind was because he had three pets guarding Bai Qi. As a result, in just a short while, Bai Qi was injured!
"It's okay, just a superficial wound."
Feeling the guilt coming from Alpha, Bai Qi waved his hand indifferently, and then began to look at the little thing in front of him.
Unlike the dream vine that Bai Qi had expected, the little thing in front of Bai Qi was more like a big insect, but its body was covered with colorful vines, and it looked like some kind of plant.
"What is this, Cordyceps? Grass worm?"
Bai Qi pulled at the tentacle-like vines on the other party's body, but the other party did not move at all. He looked at Alpha in confusion and asked, "Alpha, did you knock it out?"
Crunch.
(No, he was already passed out when I found it.)
Alpha shook his head to indicate that he did not do anything.
"You fainted by yourself? That sounds so weak..."
Bai Qi looked at the Cordyceps in front of him with some surprise. He really couldn't connect it with the horrible beast that caused the strange phenomena around it.
Huh?
Just when Bai Qi was puzzled, Beta suddenly came to the Cordyceps, sniffed it, and suddenly bit it.
Huff!
Just when Beta was about to bite the Cordyceps, the Cordyceps, which was supposed to be in a coma, suddenly let out a sharp cry, and the colorful vines on its body immediately turned into tentacles. It quickly avoided Beta's big mouth and tried to run out.
But before it could run far, Alpha's Sword of Death was pointed at Cordyceps' head, and the terrifying aura of the king-level creature rushed towards Cordyceps without reservation.
Huff!
Seeing this, Chongcao gave up resisting without hesitation and fell directly to the ground. At the same time , a strange voice sounded in the minds of the four pets at the same time.
"Hero, spare my life!"
Listening to the voice in his head, Bai Qi suddenly felt confused and asked Beta, "Beta, were you the one speaking just now?"
Woof woof!
(I will never speak in such a cowardly tone.)
Crunch.
(Boss, not me.)
Click, click.
(Not Gamma either.)
Bloopers.
(Delta also remained silent.)
The four pets shook their heads in denial, and Bai Qi immediately looked at the strange Cordyceps in front of him.
"Little thing, were you the one talking just now?"
Huchu huchu!
(Yes, that’s me.)
Chongcao turned around cautiously and nodded. He wanted to say something more when Alpha's Sword of Death came close to him.
Huff.
(Hero, can you please move the crystal hero's sword away from me?)
"I am here? What era did you travel from?"
Bai Qi was a little speechless. He picked up the Cordyceps and said, "Are the strange phenomena here, including the dream I just had, caused by you?"
"If I say it's irrelevant, will the hero believe me?"
Chongcao glanced at Bai Qi cautiously, but before Bai Qi could reply, he felt a murderous intent coming from behind him.
"I confess that these were all caused by me accidentally affecting the creatures around me while I was sleeping, but I definitely did not do anything harmful to the world. I only pulled the hero into the dream just now because I wanted to scare him away. I have no ill intentions!"
The concise, clear and quick reply stunned Bai Qi, who was prepared for , and Beta's face was full of contempt.
Awww!
(A real man cannot be defeated by force, this guy is such a coward!)
"You weren't much better before."
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "Then why did you suddenly cancel the dream just now? Did you feel guilty?"
Hearing Bai Qi mention the dream, Chongcao instinctively shuddered and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, Yingxiong, your nightmare is so horrible that I was scared."
Wow, is the deterrent effect of F4 so strong?
Looking at the Cordyceps in front of him, who seemed to be obviously frightened, Bai Qi reluctantly accepted this explanation. He then looked at the Cordyceps's strange shape and said, "By the way, what kind are you? Why have I never heard of you?"
He had heard of other bloodlines being integrated into the insect system, but this was the first time he had seen the insect system and the plant system combined.
Are there really any Zerg creatures who value their own food these days?
Chongcao was stunned when he heard this, then a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he said: "This is a long story... ahem, there is also a simple version, heroes please follow me."
Feeling the tip of the sword behind his head, Chongcao immediately changed his tone, pointed in the direction of the valley, and motioned Bai Qi and others to follow him in.
"Okay, let me see how you can control so many ferocious beasts."
Bai Qi threw the Cordyceps to Alpha, and then walked deep into the valley under the command of Cordyceps.
Just as he had seen from outside, the greenery in the valley was quite lush, and the plants grew better the further in he went. When he walked to the back, some weeds were as tall as Bai Qi.
"Why does this place feel similar to Nicholas' Emerald Valley?"
Feeling the rich vitality around him, Bai Qi became more and more confused.
Could it be that there is also a green dragon living here?
That's not right. If the green dragon was here, this coward wouldn't have the chance to mess around.
Soon, Bai Qi, under the guidance of Cordyceps sinensis, came to an extremely huge dead tree. Although there were no leaves on it and the crown of the tree was basically withered, Bai Qi could still imagine how magnificent it was when it was alive.
Crunch.
(Boss, I just found him here.)
Alpha was the first to explain, and Chongcao nodded and said, "Yes, I hid here to scare the hero away, but the hero's dream was really..."
Chongcao paused and continued, "I was frightened and accidentally exposed myself, and was discovered by this great hero. I wanted to pretend to be dead and get away with it, but in the end..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me what you are, or I'll dissect you myself."
Bai Qi waved his hand, interrupting Chongcao's words. Chongcao stopped talking nonsense and said, "Actually, I don't know what I am."
