Chapter 177

Inside the passage leading to Dian Huo's location, ghost light flickered and hot breath surged.

Big Boss looked at the surrounding scene with great interest.

As the location of a late-game hidden boss, Big Boss didn't know how many times he had parkoured in this place in the PC version.

It could be said that he knew the terrain here even better than the guards watching over this place.

At that time, this place was still crowded with many small fry polluted by Dian Huo, seemingly the guards escorting them.

Luo Tian walked beside Big Boss with a gloomy face, sighing from time to time: "Hateful, I've walked on thin ice all my life, didn't expect I still can't reach the other shore."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the person beside him: "Brother Shisi, aren't you afraid?"

Big Boss thought for a moment, nodded, expressionless: "Afraid."

"Can't tell you're afraid at all!"

Luo Tian retorted speechlessly, thinking to himself that his mentality was really good.

The guard captain escorting the two of them coldly laughed: "Hehe, cherish the time you two have to bicker, soon that mouth of yours won't be able to open again, hehe."

"Alright, we've arrived." Speaking, he stopped his steps, making way for a narrow corridor: "Go in."

The blue inside this passage was who knows how many times more vigorous than outside.

That scalding hot breath made the few people approaching here involuntarily tremble in mind and spirit.

"Finally arrived after all... my place of end."

Luo Tian swallowed his saliva, unwilling in his heart.

He clearly still had so many things undone, clearly still had cherished people he hadn't met...

"Mother Adult, your son is unfilial, can no longer accompany you by your side, please you——aiya!"

Luo Tian's words weren't finished when he was kicked in the buttocks by the guard behind him, sliding along that corridor.

"So much nonsense, rest assured, when you die, I'll treat your mother well, hehe."

The guard captain licked his lips, then looked at Big Boss, shaking his own shoe sole: "Hehe, come on, it's your turn, lie down properly, let Grandpa's shoe sole give your buttocks a good kiss."

The few guards following him also burst into loud laughter.

Big Boss didn't speak, just looked at him faintly with one glance.

That cold gaze without a trace of emotion, in just an instant, made the guard captain's mind and spirit tremble.

He seemed to feel that in the eyes of the man before him, he was not a high-ranking official, nor a hated enemy, but a... prey.

That's right, the kind that has already been caught, no matter how it struggles, cannot escape from the spider web.

A prisoner actually treating himself as prey? Truly too ridiculous...

Although the guard captain thought this in his heart, the shoe originally prepared to kick Big Boss's buttocks unconsciously lowered.

By the time he came to his senses, Big Boss had already walked down along the corridor.

"Boss, why didn't you kick that stinky brat?"

"You understand nothing, Boss just didn't want to dirty his own shoes."

"Oh, so that's it, hahaha!"

The guards beside him were still laughing loudly, but the guard captain inexplicably frowned.

Just now, was he scared?

The guard captain is a Killing Night Demon of the Abyss Demon Race, their racial talent is killing intent capture.

This person's magic fluctuation hasn't even reached Fourth Rank, but his killing intent is even denser than Seventh Rank Eighth Rank generals, even denser by dozens of times.

How is this possible...

This guy, just how many people has he killed...

What monster who committed a monstrous crime, was sealed strength after being caught? That's right, only this possibility.

The guard captain swallowed his saliva, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a proud smile.

"No matter how strong you were before, no matter how high your status, in the end, aren't you still a prisoner?"

"In the end, aren't you still stuffed in front of Dian Huo Adult by me?"

"Stupid goods who can't recognize the situation, falling into my hands, dying is deserved, hehe."

"Adult, what are you saying?" The few guards didn't understand but felt awe.

"Unrelated to you all, alright, all go out." The guard captain smiled: "Lest in a moment, you get caught in Dian Huo Adult's flames."

He again proudly looked at that corridor, smacked his lips twice.

Whether it's that Luo Tian, or this Xiu Si Da Er, both are impossible to return alive from Dian Huo's side.

At this moment, the guard captain only felt incomparably refreshed.

Spending big money back then to buy this official position, really bought right.

Whether you're a general with illustrious military exploits, or a big shot guarding one side, once you get here, you all have to obediently kneel for me. ——On the other side, along the corridor all the way down, not long after, Big Boss arrived at the bottom of the Dark Land.

A few dozen meters further ahead inside the palace, is where Dian Huo is located.

Luo Tian rolled down a step earlier than him, currently bruised and swollen, eyes full of resentment.

"Damn guard, using a chicken feather as an arrow token, if I can get out, I must kill him."

He climbed up from the ground, wiped his face full of dust and sweat, looked at Big Boss: "Xiu Si, listen to me, I have a plan."

"Plan?" Big Boss raised his eyebrows.

Ever since arriving here he discovered, this NPC called Luo Tian, had so many words, so dense.

He smelled the scent of a hidden quest.

"Right, plan to escape from here." Luo Tian's eyes determined: "My mom is still waiting for me at home, I promised her, I must go back."

Old bro, do you know, your body is simply stuck full of flags... Big Boss expressionless.

"I just observed, although this corridor is slippery, it's not completely without footholds." Luo Tian spoke while clenching his fist, sharp bone spurs extended out: "With my sharp claws, I can completely climb back up the corridor!"

"You want to go back up?" Big Boss raised an eyebrow.

"Correct."

"Then why... don't you go that way?" Big Boss raised his hand, pointing behind Luo Tian.

"That way..." Luo Tian turned his head doubtfully, his pupils shrinking.

Not far away, a spiral staircase with fire basins on both sides wound and coiled up to the top of this underground chamber.

At the end of that staircase lay the entrance to the corridor they had just come down.

Obviously, this was another entrance and exit.

"Those guards had us come down from that side just to be faster," Big Boss explained. "Normally, taking that staircase would let you enter and leave here."

"Hah, haha." Luo Tian's mouth corner twitched.

"Um, if you want to go up, why not try this staircase?"

"Uh, about the staircase..." Luo Tian looked at the bone spur on the back of his hand and nodded calmly. "Although it's still lacking compared to my Great Plan... it's... not impossible."

Big Boss: "..."

"No, Xiu Si, listen to me!" Luo Tian hastily retracted the bone spur, speaking urgently. "No matter what, this Shadowlands is full of passages, with gates and mechanisms everywhere, and at the entrance, a large number of guards are standing watch."

"With just me alone, I definitely can't escape. To survive, we must unite!"

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing."

"After we escape, I'll give you the treasure I've cherished!"

Sure enough, a hidden quest!

Big Boss's gaze instantly turned sharp, but he didn't directly agree. Instead, he poked his head over and asked softly, "Hey, the treasure you want to give me—it wouldn't be one of those... yellowed erotic magazines, would it?"

"Huh? How could that be? Could something like that be called a treasure?"

Luo Tian furrowed his brow.

"That's good." Big Boss relaxed, then walked toward the Gong Dian.

Now he was once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes. Having experienced Karenina's father, he was truly afraid of running into another Birth NPC who would give him erotic magazines.

"Hey, Brother Shisi, where are you going?" Luo Tian followed beside him. "I haven't told you my plan yet."

"Don't you just want to go back alive? No need for so much trouble." Big Boss glanced at him. "Fine, just wait here and don't move. I'll go buy a few oranges."

"Buy oranges? What does that mean?"

"Anyway, just stay here and prepare the treasure you want to give me."

Big Boss couldn't be bothered to explain. Along the stone steps in front of him, he entered Dian Huo's Gong Dian.

Luo Tian stared blankly at his back view, the doubt on his face not diminishing at all, but growing more vigorous instead.

After looking for a few moments, his eyes suddenly trembled.

No way...

Brother Shisi, he wouldn't want to kill the big shot living inside the Gong Dian, would he?

This... this really possible? —"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Inside the Gong Dian, Dian Huo sat before the portrait of the Furious Father God, clutching her fist, continuously denying herself.

"Father God isn't that kind of person. He absolutely wouldn't attack my soul. My lifespan reduction couldn't possibly be his doing!"

These past few days, Dian Huo's mindset was about to explode.

From the first time her lifespan was deducted, there wasn't a single day when her lifespan was intact.

At least a few hundred years deducted, at most thousands or tens of thousands of years.

If it were just deducting that amount, it would be fine. Although it was a headache, it wouldn't hurt her tendons and bones.

But...

TMD one day, they actually deducted a hundred million years of her life at once!

That TM was a hundred million years! How many hundred million years could fire life have?

If they TM deducted a few more times, her fire would return to the Abyss.

Most importantly, she completely couldn't find out who had attacked her.

The servants around her had been replaced batch after batch. Even if the attacker was among them, they would have long since passed away by now.

Not to mention, these people called servants but actually prisoners had their Spiritual Power sealed and imprisoned, unable to use any Term Art at all.

Even if they could use Term Art, they couldn't possibly hurt her.

The lives capable of harming her, counting the entire Abyss together, numbered fewer than two hands.

After thinking it over, the only possible suspect left was the Furious Father God.

And this answer was also an answer Dian Huo couldn't face.

She had countless times wanted to confront the Furious Father God, but every time, she lost her courage at the last moment.

Correct, Dian Huo was afraid to know the answer.

Because once she knew the answer, she could no longer lie to herself.

"If not for liking, who would lie to themselves, wuu wuu wuu."

Dian Huo cried, and even the flame above her neck swayed unceasingly.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.

Immediately after, a loud voice rang out.

"Lady Dian Huo, hello."

"Who!"

Dian Huo's flame trembled. With a wave of her hand, the portrait of the Furious Father God was hidden by her.

And her gaze followed the sound, seeing a big boy with a warm smile on his face. "A new servant? Hah, you're lucky today, my lifespan hasn't decreased." Dian Huo hummed softly, coquettishly turning her body, her palm supporting her own "Flame Ball Head," and yawned.

That sunshine big boy, besides Big Boss, who else could it be? Honestly, Big Boss is full of freshness right now.

In the PC version, when he came to kill Dian Huo, Dian Huo had already completely become a BOSS state, become without human form, completely like an elemental body monster.

And the current Dian Huo...

Although separated by a layer of light gauze from her, cannot see clearly the skin.

But only by that shadow under the flickering firelight, it is graceful and juicy, fat and thin even, peaks and valleys, rising and falling up and down.

Truly charm still remains.

Big Boss cannot help but feel some restless thoughts.

"Hey hey hey, what are you feeling restless thoughts for!" Lilith shouted from the side: "The other side of the curtain, is the enemy, is the enemy ah! Dragon Enterer, you must not be too defying heaven!"

Big Boss however ignored her, approached the curtain on his own.

"Retire, I am a bit weary."

Dian Huo back facing Big Boss, waved her hand.

She after all strength nearly demigod, Big Boss's every move, all within her perception.

"Transcendent Fire Lady, I heard, you recently have some worries."

Big Boss stopped at a position less than one meter from the curtain, said softly.

"Oh?"

Dian Huo let out a soft hum, but did not turn around.

These days, those who approached like Big Boss, delusionally wanting to curry favor with her, servants, although few, but also not none.

Dian Huo very clear, these servants are to hug her thigh, so they come to amuse her.

She also does not reject subordinates' this behavior.

Pity is, these stupid goods fundamentally not clear, what she is worrying about.

So, waiting for them, only being scorched by her own flames.

Dian Huo yawned, interest lacking: "My mood indeed not too good, so then, what do you plan to do, give me a dance, sing a song, or plan to learn to bark like a dog?"

"Neither." Big Boss gentle and sunshine smiling: "I, want to give Transcendent Fire Lady an antidote."

"Antidote?"

"Right, an antidote about your lifespan." Big Boss smiling.

Next second, that curtain separated between the two instantly burned into ashes.

A flame-constituted long whip, slash sound rushed out, accurately struck Big Boss's lower abdomen, piercing through.

That flame whip's speed, far exceeded Big Boss's reaction speed, he even did not realize to dodge, was hit.

Lilith at the side watching, face instantly fell: "Ah!!! Hateful, I said it, demigod is not so easy to deal with!"

And Big Boss's face however still wore that sunshine smile.

He before entering palace, already activated 【Causal Reversal】, at this time system already gave prompt.

【You received Dian Huo's attack, your life force reduced by 67%.】

【Causal Reversal already triggered, your life force increased by 67%.】

As long as not one-hit kill, Big Boss will not die.

Of course, Dian Huo has can one-hit kill Big Boss's strength.

But, she will not do so.

Because she craves, lifespan reduction's truth.

"Kid, always been you making a move on me?" Dian Huo turned around, lay sideways on bed, flame head burning more and more vigorously.

"Transcendent Fire Lady, this is not the posture for asking questions oh." Big Boss smiling.

"Kid, you know, as long as I want, in an instant, I can burn you to ashes, no matter what life you are, all have no reincarnation possibility." Dian Huo's voice ice-cold incomparable.

"Is that so? But if so, you will forever not know the truth of the matter." Big Boss still smiling: "I guarantee, you will therefore regret endlessly."

"Hehe, kill you, I same can soul search."

Dian Huo mockingly smiled, flames then along Big Boss's body, began continuously burning.

That scorching everything deep blue flame, just like this on Big Boss's body spread.

【You received Dian Huo's attack, because Causal Reversal, your life force increased by 98%.】

【You received Dian Huo's attack, because Causal Reversal, your life force increased by 59%.】

【You received Dian Huo's attack, you feel very painful, because Causal Reversal, you feel very happy.】

【...】

Big Boss just like this being burned, face expression also more and more happy.

As long as Dian Huo not want directly kill self, then his health bar, will only get thicker the more beaten.

This also too comfortable.

Other side, Dian Huo also watching more and more strange.

This guy being scorched by soul fire burning, still like nothing happened person.

Her flames, not even demigods would suffer terribly calamity fire? Could this guy be a likes pain shaky M? Just like this burning burning, Big Boss actually fine, but his clothes however could not withstand, at once all became ashes.

Also because he now, also because Causal Reversal's reason, pain all transferred became happy, and man's most happy thing is what?

Simply put, is——

Got hard.

And Dian Huo's flame head, also in this instant, blazed raging big fire.

Fuck, what breed of demon race is this guy?

How grow human form, yet same as donkey demon? This diameter...

That's way too foul, isn't it? Wait, is now the time to be thinking about this kind of thing?

Dian Huo was only distracted for a few seconds before she regained her original composure, and the flames on her head also became slightly smaller.

Along with that, the flames on Li Cheng's body also shrank.

Dian Huo isn't an idiot; she knows very well that since this donkey demon dares to stand in front of her, he absolutely does not fear a posthumous Soul Search.

Therefore, if she really killed him, the clues she had obtained with great difficulty would also be cut off right there.

She had originally intended to force him to submit using pain.

She did not expect this guy to not be in pain at all, but instead to start enjoying it.

Dian Huo had no way out; she could only decide to listen to what he wanted first, then make a judgment.

"Kid, I've already shown goodwill, don't waste the opportunity. Tell me, who exactly made a move on my lifespan?"

"Hehe, Transcendent Fire Lady, you're so smart, could it be that you really can't think of the answer?"

Li Cheng patted the sparks off his body; at this moment he was completely naked, revealing muscles like an Ancient Greek Sculpture.

He had originally felt a bit like he suffered a loss.

But upon discovering that outside Dian Huo's still-charming Beauty, there was also nothing at all, he instantly felt much more balanced.

Not to mention, this blue skin like an Avatar, paired with that exaggerated lewd figure, can no longer be described as merely still-charming.

This is completely a blooming Blue Demon Beauty! It's just that there's no head on that neck, only a big Fireball, which makes it a bit hard to swallow.

Li Cheng fell into a Contradiction.

Dian Huo would naturally never think that inside Li Cheng's head, he was actually thinking these Desecrating words.

On the contrary, she was now incomparably panicked, her voice even trembling slightly: "What do you mean? Why do you say I can think of the answer?"

"You can naturally think of the answer, because the Term Art that seizes lifespan can only be activated by possessing that person's Soul Fragment." Li Cheng hugged his shoulders, smiling calmly: "And in these times measured in Billions, the one with the Ability, the Qualification, to obtain your Soul Fragment, there is one and only one, isn't there?"

"No, impossible, absolutely impossible that it's him!" Dian Huo raised her hand, flames rising in her palm once more: "Anger, absolutely would not treat me like this! You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

She violently threw that flame at Li Cheng, but so many tongues of fire, not a single one was a killing move.

Li Cheng's Health Bar grew thicker and thicker.

The springhead also grew harder and harder.

"Transcendent Fire Lady, I never told you that the one who harmed you was Father God Anger." Li Cheng spoke while slowly walking into her: "But you, you spoke his name yourself."

"So, you're very clear about it, aren't you?"

"What exactly is the answer!"

"No, it's not, it's not like this!"

With every step Li Cheng took forward, Dian Huo took a step back; in front of this "truth", she had almost reached the edge of a mental break.

"If you really trust that Anger so deeply, why not just kill me directly?"

A few steps later, Dian Huo's calves bumped into the Stone Bed, and Li Cheng also stood In Front of her: "Why not kill this bastard who confuses people with lies?"

"Why, continue listening to me speak these lies?"

"No, that's right, I want to kill you, I cannot let you sow discord between me and Father God Anger, yes, I want to kill you..."

Dian Huo muttered incessantly, her hand raised, but she couldn't bring herself to swing it down for a long time.

And Li Cheng's mouth also opened Timely: "Or is it that you actually knew the answer long ago, it's just that you don't want to face it. Because you love Father God Anger."

"Stop talking." The flames on Dian Huo's head grew fewer and fewer.

"You love him deeply, to the extreme."

"Don't, don't say it anymore."

"You love him even more than you love yourself."

"Don't say it anymore..."

"Even knowing clearly he is a South Tong, you still love him so."

"I said, don't say it anymore! Damn bastard!"

Dian Huo was finally forced to the breaking point; she violently lifted her head, a Slap striking toward Li Cheng's face.

But that fatal blow stopped hard in mid-air just before it was about to hit.

The Gale blew against Li Cheng's Cheek, yet he stood motionless; only on his hand, the Anger Mark bestowed by the Deception Mother Goddess, flashed with light.

"You, you, how do you have his power on you? Are you his person?" Dian Huo's voice was Shaky: "Did he send you to kill me?"

"He sent me to kill you? What, I don't believe it!"

"You're wrong, Transcendent Fire Lady."

Li Cheng closed his eyes, took a Deep Breath, and when he opened them again, his face was full of deep affection.

"I'm not his person, I..."

"Am Father God Anger."

"The current Father God Anger is a bastard who stole my Demigod position and snatched my Soul."

"He not only took away my everything, but also wants to kill you too."

"You, what did you say?" Dian Huo suddenly couldn't stand steady, falling onto the bed.

The impact of this sentence was simply too great, great enough to make her incomparably Surprised.

"That's right, think about it, I Anger am a Demigod of the Abyss, how could a figure like me possibly be a South Tong?" Li Cheng said faintly: "I'm not a South Tong, I've never done South Tong things."

"Then you..." Dian Huo's heart pounded wildly.

"My XP System has always been..." Li Cheng took a Deep Breath, then slowly exhaled, enunciating each word: "Armed Flame ah! Transcendent Fire Lady!"
