"good."
Chi Nu lowered her head and responded, but didn't say anything else.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ling was relieved. Chi Nu was a smart child and she just needed some time to accept the reality.
She walked out quietly, leaving Akane some space to herself.
After Luo Ling left, Chi Nu picked up the vessel again and stared at her face blankly. It seemed that at this moment, she realized something that she had never cared about before.
She looked at the water tank next to her. Since the soldiers had left not long ago, there was still a lot of water left.
"Maybe, I should..."
While recalling the appearance of Yao Ji and Luo Ling in her mind, she raised her hand to gather up her messy long hair and tied it up clumsily.
Chapter 119: How Beautiful Is Yao Ji? (5k)
"It seems that being wounded by the 'ghost' is also a big blow to Akane."
Luo Ling looked back at the tent and sighed softly.
After all, Chi Nu had witnessed with her own eyes the miserable appearance of those old soldiers before. In addition, Luo Ling had just tried to use the "Savior Witch" to reverse the path she had taken, thereby triggering the power she possessed, and the transformed appearance was even more terrifying.
Although, it is not a bad thing for Chi Nu to continue on the path of "doomsday", and it will not be harmful to her. In fact... Based on the qualifications tested by Luo Ling, Chi Nu is likely to reach the level of "gravekeeper", that is, the level of being chosen by the doomsday god.
Even Luo Ling couldn't help but be attacked by her power, and she briefly showed some strange characteristics from "Doomsday", which meant that her rank was not low from the beginning.
However, Luo Ling changed his mind and realized that since Chi Nu was always kept by Yao Ji and entrusted to him with great care, it was impossible for Chi Nu to simply possess the "doomsday" qualification.
“Since it’s irreversible now, let’s let Akane gradually gain control of her own power.
Luo Ling exhaled, and thought of something, a little helpless flashed across his face. If Yao Ji came over and saw Chi Nu's situation, how would she blame herself for her negligence...
"The little girl seems to be worried?"
At this moment, an old voice sounded behind Luo Ling.
Luo Ling turned around and saw that it was the old general who had returned after putting away the shrine.
The old general held a burning straw in his mouth, and a piercing smell wafted away. Luo Ling frowned slightly and covered his mouth and nose.
"Sorry, sorry..."
The old general extinguished the straw, then put it in his arms and said apologetically,
"I thought I had nothing to do, so I couldn't help but light one. I forgot you were here for a moment."
"nothing."
Luo Ling waved his hand gently, dispersing the smoke and clouds lingering around him.
"Girl, judging from your appearance, I should call you that, but... you should all be great figures like immortals." The old general's gaze suddenly became distant and complicated, and he said slowly, "Think about it carefully, how could two ordinary little girls walk around freely in the wilderness?"
The so-called immortals are basically awakened people who have embarked on the path and control powers that ordinary people cannot reach. People like the old general and the soldiers are actually just ordinary people.
The reason why they are able to exert power far beyond that of ordinary people is that they rely on the various existences left behind by people with special abilities, such as mystical barriers, special weapons, military formations, etc.
If taken alone, he is just a strong mortal.
Relying on these powers that do not belong to them, they can slightly compete with the minions of the "ghosts and gods", but... the so-called competition is nothing more than using their lives to delay time.
The main force that can truly fight against the minions of ghosts and gods are the immortals sitting in the formation.
After the old general calmed down, he realized that Luo Ling and Chi Nu must be immortals, otherwise how could they escape the erosion of ghosts and gods
"Even if it is." Luo Ling smiled noncommittally, but after a pause, he added, "But, I'm actually not that old."
"Only a few dozen years old?" asked the old general.
The old general was a man of some knowledge. He knew that the lifespan of immortals was usually thousands of years, so a few dozen years old should be considered "not too old" for an immortal.
"They are teenagers."
Luo Ling corrected her, saying that she was not even twenty years old.
"So... young?"
The old general looked at Luo Ling in doubt, but he soon recovered.
After all, this was not the first or second time he had dealt with immortals. Previously, when he was fighting against the spread of ghosts and gods, many immortals had come to his aid and fought against the enemy together with him.
Some of the fairies especially like to say that they are only 28 years old...
It’s better not to mention these things anymore and just treat them as true.
"The power of the immortal"
At this moment, the old general seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were flashing with memories.
He had also led his troops to fight under the guidance of an immortal and witnessed with his own eyes the shock of the immortal taking action.
But even such an immortal could not resist the disaster caused by ghosts and gods.
"Little Immortal," the old general's expression became more lonely and helpless, "You said... can ghosts and gods really be defeated?"
"... What if not?" Luo Ling did not directly answer the old general's question, but asked back.
"If you can't..."
The old general raised his head and looked towards the warm sun rising gradually at dawn in the distance, and the upcoming ten-day sun in the sky.
"If the ghosts and gods are destined to wreak havoc on the world, let us old guys stop them for now."
The old general slowly raised his hand, as if trying to touch the sun in the distance.
The thin sunlight floated down, penetrating every inch of scars and wrinkles on his face. Only then did Luo Ling realize that the old general was indeed very old. His face was covered with corpse spots filled with the air of decadence, and his dry skin drooped.
What's even more terrifying is... Luo Ling saw that the armor on his body had been embedded in his flesh and blood, greedily devouring and controlling everything about him.
The reason why the old general can still run and jump is because of this special armor.
When his life comes to an end, it will be frozen in the last moment in an instant.
At the same time, the general slowly turned his head, and the warm sunlight of dawn also fell on Luo Ling, illuminating her face in the semi-darkness, elegant and calm.
The old general couldn't help but widen his eyes. His old eyes stared at Luo Ling intently, and his mouth was so wide open that an egg could almost fit in.
"Little Immortal, what are you doing..."
Luo Ling looked at the old general's shocked expression in confusion. She carefully sensed her own condition and found nothing wrong. The previous blue-black scales had been suppressed by her and should not appear again.
But soon, Luo Ling reacted.
Her current appearance can be said to be exactly the same as that of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens.
Oh no, I was so busy sighing that I didn’t expect this.
Luo Ling doesn't want to be recognized. If she is recognized, it will be very troublesome...
The old soldiers' frequent kowtows gave her a headache, but this old general's piety and fanaticism seemed to be no less than those old soldiers. Now she wanted to find a hole to bury herself in...
"Are you the descendant of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens..." The old general swallowed his saliva, "?"
"ah?"
Luo Ling was slightly stunned.
After hearing the first half of the general's words, Luo Ling was about to admit it, but then the second half came...
She was also confused.
The old general said nothing and just left Luo Ling and ran away. After a long while, he respectfully took out the shrine and kept comparing Luo Ling with the statue. He immediately took a deep breath.
"You, you are not... her daughter?"
"ah?"
Luo Ling continued to be confused.
She looked at the statue of herself and knew why the old general thought so.
The old soldiers who were preaching at first seemed to have some misunderstandings about him. The light was dim and Luo Ling was embarrassed, so he did not check the condition of the statue carefully.
Now, the new statue has made her look at least a few dozen years older, and she looks like a kind mother in her thirties...
Luo Ling couldn't help but cover her face tightly.
"Little fairy?"
The old general asked cautiously.
"Yes, that's right, I am the daughter of Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens." Luo Ling let go of his hand and said seriously.
The excited old general was about to kneel down, but was helped up by the quick-witted Luo Ling.
"I'm not the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, there's no need to kneel to me, if you want to kneel, kneel to my mother!
Anyway, her mother is actually an ascended being, and is called God in "legend", which is pretty much the same.
"Yes, yes..."
The old general straightened up tremblingly, but his expression was still full of the surging emotions.
Luo Ling was really worried that if the old general continued to get excited, his heart would not be able to bear it, so he had to take forceful action to calm him down.
A bit of the power of "transformation" was spread, which slightly restored the old general's almost dying body and eased his mood.
The old general felt as if he had been enlightened. His whole body felt clear and he became more energetic. His excited mood was calmed down.
"Miracle..." the old general murmured.
"They are just some small tricks. They are definitely not comparable to those of my mother." Luo Ling said quickly.
Although she inexplicably became her own mother and also her own daughter.
"Thank you, young lady."
The old general saluted Luo Ling.
The way Luo Ling was addressed changed several times in a short while.
"You are too polite, General. It is just a small favor." Luo Ling smiled and said, "By the way, we will be leaving soon. We still have some things to deal with."
"Is that so?" A hint of disappointment flashed across the old general's face, and he continued,
“I don’t know what the young lady needs, but you can take anything you need from this garrison.
"I'm welcome."
Luo Ling nodded slightly. She couldn't use anything, but Chi Nu could.
"This statue of your mother..."
The old general hesitated and looked towards the shrine.
"Just stay here." Luo Ling said.
"Thank you, my lady..."
The old general saluted again, then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the statue before he carried it away respectfully.
Luo Ling, who had finally dealt with the old general, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and thought to herself that she should find a veil to cover her face. If she encountered such a thing again next time, she would probably have to dig out a few more three-bedroom apartments with her feet.
"I don't know how the red girl has recovered."
Luo Ling's face darkened slightly. She carefully sensed the inside of the tent and found that Chi Nu's condition was very stable and she had not used her "Doomsday" ability again.
Suppressing the use of power all the time is also a problem. Luo Ling knows very well that simply avoiding it will not solve the problem. When suppressing it to the point of getting out of control, it will lead to tragedy. Chi Nu must be allowed to freely control this power.
Therefore, they could not stay in this abandoned city, nor could they go to other settlements, and could only wander in the wilderness.
You know, "Doomsday", that is, the power of ghosts and gods, is the most deadly existence for mortals.
"After replenishing the necessary supplies, take the red girl and leave."
Luo Ling made up her mind. Not only that, she also had to look for Yao Ji. Unfortunately, when Yao Ji left, she did not leave any means of contacting her, otherwise it would have been much more convenient.
and.
Luo Ling vaguely felt that this sudden disaster from ghosts and gods might not be that simple.
She did not forget that this was an extremely special time point.
Thinking of this, Luo Ling calmed down and planned to go back to the tent to find Chi Nu.
"Red Woman..."
