Chapter 722: What is more terrifying than seeing a ghost in a horror movie is seeing a normal person
At least for Mo Cheng, even if he encounters a difficult copy alone, as long as he can gain experience through killing and upgrade and strengthen himself, then other things are not something he needs to consider.
Now that he had two teammates with him, Mo Cheng himself didn't dare to run around looking for enemies and kill them indiscriminately.
The group continued to move forward, but they saw even stranger things along the way.
Because Mo Cheng and others actually saw a living person on the road.
Without any power or weapons, it seems that he is not strong enough to defeat a living skeleton soldier.
In the heart of the Vahlan Empire, which has become a battlefield.
This situation is even more terrifying than turning on the lights in the middle of the night and seeing a giant southern cockroach flying towards your face.
Mo Cheng subconsciously protected Margaret and Dorothy behind him, and at the same time, he hid his left hand behind his back and used sign language to signal them to take a few steps back. In this almost sub-space place, encountering seemingly normal people or things is most likely the most abnormal.
Who knows if that was Tzeentch's trick.
"Young man, don't be so nervous. I'm just an old woman who can't move her legs anymore."
In this place that has almost become a subspace, an elderly woman with gray hair and a kind face, leaning on a cane, spoke.
However, these words from the other party could not make Mo Cheng feel at ease at all, or rather, these words were just like his frequent bragging about being an [Asasi] person, which was a pure joke.
"Someone once told me that there are three types of people you should never look down upon when you go out on an adventure: the elderly, children, and women. If I'm not nervous seeing you in a place like this, then someone would have chopped off my head and used it as a urinal."
Faced with Mo Cheng's caution and even hostility, the old lady didn't say much, but just touched the ground lightly with her cane.
The moment the tip of the crutch touched the ground, it felt like something was being expelled, but when I felt carefully, I found nothing.
"I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, and I don't like to run around." The old lady turned around, not caring at all that Mo Cheng was facing her back, "Walk with the old man for a while. Don't worry, at least during this time, I don't have any bad intentions."
That is to say, at other times or in other places, there is malicious intent.
Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes, and in his mind he began to think about what price he would have to pay to kill this guy who looked somewhat familiar.
Rather than waiting for you to show your ill intentions later, I will personally kill you after you say these words.
In this way, there will be no conflicts between the two sides in the future. Isn't it wonderful to have the best of both worlds?
This tempting thought kept echoing in Mo Cheng's mind, and Mo Cheng's fists kept clenching and opening, as if he was thinking about whether or not to throw the first punch at this guy who suddenly appeared and looked like he was not an ordinary person.
With the other party facing away from him, and the distance being the best attack distance for Mo Cheng to burst out, looking at the old lady's back, Mo Cheng seemed to see from above the red dot of [Heart Steel] that was already prepared.
With one strike, the opponent will at least be severely injured.
Perhaps she sensed Mo Cheng's murderous intent, or perhaps she was confident enough in herself, the old lady continued walking ahead without looking back, "Well, there are many things I want to say, where should I start."
"It's just a story anyway, so you can start anywhere. For example, the distant and secret origin of the story, or the tragic epic that shocked the world, or the tragic ending that no one knows about. Of course, maybe you can choose a starting point that is closer to us..."
Mo Cheng slowly exerted force on his feet, and walked parallel to the old man. After a pause, he continued, "I believe there are many such entry points. Why don't we choose the most relevant one at the moment. For example , what went wrong with the birth of [King Dom]?"
The old man's walking stick paused. Before that, the walking stick had been touching the ground at a completely consistent frequency. Each touch was so strong that it couldn't even crush the grass under his feet, but it formed a secret barrier in secret, blocking .
The frequency shift just now created a hole in the barrier, and an unknown gaze looked in through the hole.
But when that gaze looked over, a leaf that Mo Cheng had picked at some point flew out from his hand. Even without any wind, it seemed to sway in the wind, and as if by coincidence, it covered the hole in the barrier.
Use the [Seventy-Two Transformations] to change the inner properties of the leaves to completely block that gaze.
Ever since Mo Cheng acquired the skill of "Seventy-two Transformations", he has been working hard to study this skill that was born from the same culture as his own. The skill of "Seventy-two Transformations" is different from other skills. This skill has only one level. How to use it depends entirely on one's own research and spirituality.
And the leaf that blocked his view just now was the use that Mo Cheng figured out after long research.
A leaf blocks the view of Mount Tai.
For the time being, he has not reached the level of a single leaf confusing the heavens, but Mo Cheng can still use a leaf to block the invisible and intangible gazes that are exploring.
Seeing Mo Cheng's move, the old man smiled and nodded, "You are still so wise, although you still don't like to use it normally."
The other party's words made Mo Cheng frown, "You... know me?"
Mo Cheng searched his memory quickly in his brain, but he couldn't find the figure of the old man in front of him anywhere.
"That's the next topic. Let's solve this first." The old man smiled and didn't answer Mo Cheng. "The beginning of the story of [King Dom] is actually a very tacky beginning. I bet you can hear dozens of similar stories in any tavern where the bard stays."
"A long, long time ago, this land was filled with wars, natural disasters, and epidemics. Countries fought endlessly and invaded each other. Today you took my territory, and tomorrow I took his territory. People were devoured by wars, destroyed by natural disasters, and strangled by epidemics."
"The tyranny of the king, the taxation of the nobles, the cruel experiments of the magicians, the plundering of the bandits, and even the army wielding the butcher knife to [borrow ] military merits."
"All the beautiful, pure, and hopeful things were trampled and destroyed, and what existed on earth was left with nothingness and destruction."
"The only difference between the land and the abyss at that time was the Styx."
Although it was just a story, Mo Cheng could also hear what a chaotic and tragic era it was. "So, King Dom was born like this?"
“You talk about an outcome, but the process is just as important to a story.”
"After everyone had been struggling in the abyss for an unknown amount of time, a key figure appeared on that land."
