Chapter 183: Fighting Against the Gods

Shao Youxian's "stage" hypothesis is completely consistent with Xiao Jian's own observations.

In fact, since the encounter with the giant octopus, the fog around the courtyard has not generated any zombie monsters.

However, that kind of tranquility only lasted for a short time. Xiao Jian soon encountered a large number of spirits, and finally even ran into Oriteo who was seeking to be promoted to a god!

When Xiao Jian and his courtyard finally survived the crisis, they encountered a more difficult and even parasitic god who controlled an entire civilization.

It was so troublesome...

Now Xiao Jian misses the silly and cute zombies and the generous and upright giant octopus.

No, wait a moment.

Xiao Jian gradually recalled all the monsters he had encountered:

Ordinary zombies, high-level zombies, zombie BOSS, spirits, mythical beasts, world-destroying evil gods...

If he continues like this, will his courtyard encounter a true god one day?

Or...

... He has already encountered it! ?

When Xiao Jian just had this idea, he was shocked by himself.

"God, what have you thought of?" Shao Youxian asked.

"..." Xiao Jian was silent for a while, and talked to Shao Youxian about his worries.

This time, not only Shao Youxian was silent, but all the staff in the radar room were silent.

Before, the staff had not seen it with their own eyes and experienced it personally, and they had blind confidence in Xiao Jian, so they had no other ideas except thinking about countermeasures.

But now, even Xiao Jian showed his fear, and the "Shao Ke Li Xiao" he was about to face might even be a more powerful god than "Oliteo", the oppression of survival came over him.

Taking the gods as enemies...

This is not talking back to the leader or arguing with colleagues, this is a real war involving the struggle for the right to survive!

"...Why do I always feel that there is some force forcing us and them to keep fighting, and we must win every battle."

"If we don't win... we will die."

A staff murmured.

When he finished speaking, everyone in the radar room showed a look of approval.

"Indeed, from this perspective, it seems to be true." Shao Youxian pushed his glasses, "This is especially obvious among the spirits - if they don't devour the world fragments and become stronger, they will be eaten by other more powerful beings."

"And for us, the monsters and spirits that keep attacking are a test for us. If we can't win, we will be devoured by the spirits without leaving any residue!"

Shao Youxian became more and more excited as he spoke, as if a storm was rising in his mind:

"I suddenly thought of a question - why haven't we encountered a god-level attack here in Fortress Town?"

"According to what the Lord God said, we should have entered the stage of fighting against the gods at the same time... However, only the Lord God himself continued to move forward, while we were standing still."

"I think this may be related to the fact that we haven't solved the beast yet... the tiger."

Shao Youxian's words contain a lot of information.

First, he has assumed that all world fragments will go through the process that Xiao Jian has experienced - of course, except for encountering gods and other civilizations, Fortress Town has experienced everything that Xiao Jian has experienced.

Secondly, Shao Youxian once again assumed that there is indeed a certain force that is manipulating the fate of everyone... This hand of fate forces everyone, including the spirit camp, to continue to win, otherwise they will die.

Finally, Shao Youxian's conclusion:

After defeating the invasion of the divine beast and completely cutting off the sight of Orlitio, this series of world fragments headed by Fortress Town are all in "monster cooling down".

Only after killing the tiger will the "cooling down" countdown of Fortress Town restart.

If this is as he said, Fortress Town is stuck with a bug!

Although Xiao Jian felt that this inference was somewhat problematic, after all, this conclusion was based on too many assumptions.

But in the end he just frowned.

There is no way, it is better to have a theory than not...

"If this is really the case, then the tiger cannot be killed easily." Xiao Jian whispered.

"Indeed." The staff officer next to him nodded. "If it is as Brother Shao guessed, the best way is to control the tiger first to delay the progress of the refresh."

"After all, our fortress town did not actually pass the test... We cheated." Another staff officer followed.

"We still have to thank the gods for intervening, otherwise we would have been defeated long ago."

"Thank you, gods..."

"Praise the gods..."

"..."

As they talked, the staff officers started to flatter again.

"Okay, okay... Say something useful." Xiao Jian had a headache.

Zhang Jinyu had been sitting in the corner eavesdropping and peeking. Seeing Xiao Jian's helpless look, he immediately turned his head away, covered his mouth and laughed for a long time, then turned his head like a thief with a guilty conscience and glanced at Xiao Jian again.

However, Xiao Jian's eyes never looked here.

"Our current strength can only resist attacks at the level of divine beasts at most... Some small settlements don't even have the ability to resist divine beasts." A fat staff officer sighed.

"It's still too scattered. It would be great if everyone could be gathered in Fortress Town, so that the power can be concentrated a little more."

"Yes, there is strength in numbers."

"But the problem now is land and resources. If we abandon other settlements, we will directly run out of food..."

"Indeed, with such a barren land here in Fortress Town, the best we can do is not starve to death... If another monster attacks the city, even if no one is killed at the time, the crops will be destroyed."

"..."

Everyone began to think of a way out with a frown.

But listening to their discussion, Xiao Jian suddenly thought of an idea.

He pulled Shao Youxian over and lowered his voice and asked: "You think, if we move the windmill here and let it work here...can we attract the fragments of the world closest to the fortress town?"

"Ah?" Shao You was stunned for a moment, then thought of the information Xiao Jian had mentioned before, "You mean, the windmills driven by the hard workers of the [Dragon Skull Clan]?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jian nodded.

"Huh? This... is not impossible!" Shao Youxian's eyes became brighter as he thought about it, "Lord God! Take me there quickly! I want to see with my own eyes how those huge windmills work!"

"This..." Xiao Jian was stunned, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible - he can drag people over through the belief channel! It's not like he hasn't done it before...

But the problem is, the "distance" that was "moved" before was very short.

Xiao Jian still remembers the situation at that time - because Zhang Jinyu and the little girl suddenly appeared in N5001, and the situation was critical at that time, Xiao Jian used his faith to pull them into his small courtyard.

Although this can barely be regarded as a cross-"world" level transmission, the problem is that Xiao Jian's courtyard was embedded in the sea of ​​N5001 at the time!

And now, Xiao Jian's courtyard has drifted to an unknown place, and has even been separated from Fortress Town by a boundary wall...

If there is another living transmission, it will not only be "cross-world", but even "cross-border wall".

In this way, Xiao Jian doesn't know whether it is safe.

"Sister Zhang...sister...comrade...forget it, who is that? Come over here."

Xiao Jian waved to Zhang Jinyu.

He still didn't know what to call her better.

"My king, just call me by my name..." Zhang Jinyu approached Xiao Jianjian, "After all, I am your knight!"

"..."

That's called a horse!

Of course, Xiao Jian didn't say this complaint, he just smiled stiffly.

It’s all Zhang Weidong’s fault! He keeps talking about his granddaughter, and he and Xiao Jian get along like brothers...

Now Xiao Jian feels embarrassed when he sees Zhang Jinyu.

"How did you feel last time?"

Xiao Jian told what happened before and then asked.

"I don't feel anything... No, it feels great!" Zhang Jinyu blinked.

When she was halfway through speaking, the eyes of the surrounding staff members gathered around her.

But the problem is...

What the hell is it that feels so good? ?

Xiao Jian looked at Zhang Jinyu incomprehensibly: "I mean... that time I dragged you into my house! Did you feel any discomfort at that time?"

At that time, Oriteo was fighting against the fog wall, and Xiao Jian's courtyard was also affected, so he hid in the old house embedded in the fog wall to prevent the courtyard outside from completely collapsing.

When Zhang Jinyu and the others were dragged over through the faith link, the two of them naturally appeared in Xiao Jian's old house.

However, as soon as these words came out, the surrounding staff immediately showed gossipy looks, pretending to have a serious discussion, but their attention was focused on Xiao Jian and the others.

"It feels great, like I've entered heaven." Zhang Jinyu said seriously.

For her, a devout believer, wouldn't entering Nanmu Space be like entering heaven?

"Tsk, I suspect you are driving." Xiao Jian looked Zhang Jinyu up and down.

Today she was wearing work clothes, and she still had the same high ponytail.

But on the ankles exposed between her trouser legs and shoes, she was wearing a pair of black stockings.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Jinyu said seriously, "Aren't you asking about the transmission effect of the Faith Link? This is how I feel... except for being very excited, there are no other negative effects."

"..." Xiao Jian looked at her suspiciously, and Zhang Jinyu also blinked, his face full of innocence.

On the contrary, the faces of the staff officers at the back showed disappointment.

what the hell!

That's it?

"Ahem, what are you doing! You're serious!" Shao You pushed up his glasses first, being very straight and revealing whether it was an ambiguous or awkward atmosphere.

All the staff members were told no by him, and they could still laugh awkwardly and said: "Hahaha... turns out it is serious, I thought it was serious!"

"So, can you take me to see it? I also want to go to heaven." Shao You pushed up his glasses first and said seriously.

"..."
