Chapter 2914 Hollow Man
With a gun in hand.
Zheng Qing suddenly felt very confident.
Especially now that the gun in his hand was so big and the barrel was so thick! Just thinking about the specifications of the talisman bullets spit out by this python would make people tremble with excitement.
"——Are you ready?"
Old Ruoyu noticed that Taiyi's eyes turned to the direction of Yuanshi, and laughed softly: "Don't underestimate Professor Monteria... There is no such example of being able to jump two major levels in one year and become a legend from a registered wizard. Going back thousands of years, there is no such example."
The giant standing in the sea of clouds laughed loudly.
This time, Zheng Qing did not answer Old Ruoyu through his heart.
"——But I'm not even a registered wizard!" Taiyi's confident voice echoed in the vast sea of clouds, and the surging sound waves blew away large patches of clouds, revealing the undulating dark world below.
As he spoke, he had already raised the talisman gun in his hand, his feet were not in place, and he aimed at Yuanshi who was running around at the end of the world, holding his breath and concentrating, ready to pull the trigger.
The next second.
The muzzle of his gun sank slightly.
The figure of the old man Ruoyu stood on the barrel of his gun without knowing when. The cane in his hand paused slightly, and he looked at the boy with a rather tangled look: "-Are you sure you are aiming at Monteria?"
Is there any need to ask this?
A strange feeling flashed through Zheng Qing's heart. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt guilty-the last time in the Black Prison, he was clearly aiming at the demon, but in the end it was the Black Prison Castle that was injured.
Now the old man Ruoyu asked this question, it must not be aimless.
After all, he is a senior legend. Not to mention the divination skills, the instinct of a whim alone is many times better than that of a side door legend. Maybe the old wizard just saw some bad pictures on the timeline. He wanted to sort out the timeline himself, but as soon as the thought came, countless possible pictures of the future suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which made people dazzled.
Obviously, he didn't have time to carefully distinguish now.
"Of course... well, it should be."
The young legend grunted and answered without confidence.
In this short sentence, there is a tone of certainty and uncertainty, just like the cat in the box. Just like the talisman bullet in his gun at this moment, before it is fired, no one knows whether it will hit the enemy or his own people.
The old man Ruoyu looked at the young legend in silence.
He paused, pointed his cane upward, and the tip of the cane pointed to the space between the blue moon and the red moon: "I will suppress Monteria for the time being, you shoot there first..."
Although it sounds like a waste of magic power, Zheng Qing did not have much courage to argue. He turned the muzzle of the gun very obediently, aimed at the space between the red moon and the blue moon, and pulled the trigger.
The surging magic power swept up, making him feel a slight numbness all over his body. The almost pure white spell light bloomed at the muzzle, flashed, and disappeared at the junction of the red and blue halo.
Boom!
Squeak! !
Along with a blooming red and blue halo, a sudden and sharp roar resounded throughout the world. In the blink of an eye, the halo receded, and a hideous and terrifying huge figure appeared between the two moons.
It was a huge black ‘snail’.
Its body was covered with tentacles of varying lengths, like octopus legs, and the tentacles were covered with large and small eyeballs - at this moment, those eyeballs were all staring at Taiyi's position, and their eyes were full of indifference, madness and cruelty.
With just one glance, Zheng Qing recognized the identity of this guy.
That black snail!
Last time in the Black Prison, it was because this black snail swallowed the remains of the Sea Monster King at the last moment, allowing Him to successfully advance to the Ancient One, destroying Zheng Qing's opportunity to ‘make amends’.
I thought I would never meet him again in this life.
But unexpectedly, only a short year later, the black snail appeared in his sight again, and used his body to catch a legendary talisman bullet from him. Although the two sides were far apart, everyone present was a legend, so the scars caused by the talisman bullet were clearly visible. The stump-like back shell of the black snail was pierced with a hole, and the covering like rough bark was trying to wriggle, trying to fill the gap in the shell. Groups of light green mucus flowed out of the hole, and then were stuffed back by its "tentacles", burning pieces of smoke that looked poisonous and corrosive.
Ugh!
In Taiyi's body.
The young wizard floating in the center of the altar couldn't help but cross his middle and index fingers on his left hand to show bad luck, but he obviously forgot that he was Taiyi's driver at the moment. The giant who had just fired an unintentional shot crossed his fingers in front of everyone, looking provocative.
"——Well, that's not what I meant."
The young legend realized it later and quickly withdrew the action. He felt that he had some conflict with this black snail, and quickly threw a thought to the old man Ruoyu: "Is this the black snail that stole our sun? The one that cheated Professor Yao? Is it the one in the black prison last year? Didn't you say..."
He closed his mouth thoughtfully.
Obviously, the old man Ruoyu didn't just point to a place casually.
"It's a few minutes earlier than I expected."
The old wizard seemed not surprised by the result. He nodded slightly, walked two steps forward along the barrel, and carefully looked at the bullet hole: "Well, the power is also smaller than I thought... Is it just a talisman bullet mixed with some forbidden spells? This level of talisman bullets is okay against great wizards, but it is a bit powerless against legends. You have to get familiar with this combat method as soon as possible. When injecting talisman bullets, try to purify the forbidden spell power injected into them... I am looking forward to the day when the real forbidden spell talisman bullets appear."
As he spoke, he had already stepped into the void in the direction indicated by the barrel and went straight to the black snail. Almost at the same time, the other "Ruoyu" who was chasing Monteria also pulled himself up. After three or two steps, the two figures merged into one. After another three or two steps, the old man Ruoyu had become the size of a grain of rice in Zheng Qing's eyes.
However, among the three legends present, no one dared to underestimate the grain-like figure.
On the contrary, the black snail, facing this senior legend, had its tentacles tensed, especially the two thickest and longest tentacles on its forehead, with blue-black eyeballs protruding one by one. The big mouth at the top of the tentacles opened, revealing spiral fangs, and emitting silent roars.
Old Ruoyu seemed not to want to disturb the emotional exchange between the two legends of the side door in the sea of clouds.
He raised the cane in his hand and scratched it upward.
The void suddenly split into a bottomless abyss, and the rolling starlight rolled back and fell to the bottom of the abyss, and the majestic black snail was also rolled down.
Old Ruoyu followed closely and disappeared in the abyss.
The void converged, and there was a clear and pure space between the red moon and the blue moon.
Zheng Qing couldn't help but think of Eliot's poem-this is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a sob.
P.S. Hollow Man is the name of Eliot's poem.
