Chapter 2223: Godly Skill · Playing Dead?

The wind trace bullet whistled and flew over, hitting the metal layer of the trench with a roaring sound, metal fragments splashing everywhere.

Boom!

The blue flames after the bullet shattered surged, gradually dissipating in the air.

"Who can suppress him? If this continues, we will all die."

"I can."

"Then you should take action!"

"You show me by sticking your head out?"

"I..."

The Dream Spirit girl who questioned was speechless. She absolutely didn't dare to show her head; she didn't want to have her head blown off by a shot.

"Hold on, brother, don't die, hey!"

Nita's voice came. She couldn't be sure at all whether Su Xiao would give her a shot, so she could only hide in the trench.

"I might... not be able to hold on for too long."

An intermittent and weak voice came. A man nearly three meters tall with dark purple skin was leaning in the trench, and on his chest was a bucket-sized hole, with green light clinging to the edge of the hole, which was the reason he hadn't died yet.

This was a 'Vitan tribe' member, and this metal trench was opened by his ability. Once he died, those metalized mud would recover, and the situation at that time could be imagined.

Seeing this situation, Shang Yue stepped forward, took a green gem from her feather robe, and stuck it on the Vitan tribe member's skin.

The green gem rapidly turned gray-white, and this Vitan tribe member's vital signs stabilized a lot. Seeing this, the lizardman and the Dream Spirit girl beside them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Boom!

The explosion sound appeared from a very close distance, and a sense of impact came from behind the Vitan tribe member.

Bullets attacked one after another. After the third bullet exploded, a breach appeared on the trench behind the Vitan tribe member, a semi-circular breach, and this Vitan tribe member was lying in front of the breach, exposed to Su Xiao's shooting angle.

"Don't let him die..."

Before Shang Yue finished speaking, a sense of impact hit her face, and warm liquid splashed onto her face. Because the distance was too close when the bullet exploded, her ears were buzzing.

Bang!

Kinetic energy collided, and Shang Yue's brain buzzed. Large black feathers flew up, and the feather robe on her body was almost completely shattered, but it still stubbornly connected together. This feather robe helped her block a shot, but it definitely couldn't block the second shot.

In a dizzy consciousness, Shang Yue vaguely heard someone seemingly shouting 'why betray us', the voice sounding like that Dream Spirit girl.

When Shang Yue's consciousness recovered a bit, the lower half of her body was almost buried by mud, and the ground within a kilometer around was pitted, as if it had been bombarded inch by inch by 'Ko-style shells'.

Shang Yue tried to crawl up, but failed several times. She had been affected by the explosion of wind trace bullets many times, and her sense of balance couldn't recover in a short time. Most of her body was numb.

Half a corpse lay near Shang Yue; it was the lizardman.

"Baha, clean up the battlefield. Bubu, be vigilant about the surroundings. The twins won't be too honest. Also, you, this is your reward."

"Don't, don't be like this. My tribe will find you for revenge. You, you guys, the Chanting Language tribe should all die. You deserve to be auctioned as slaves..."

The sound of sharp weapons entering flesh entered Shang Yue's ears, and her eyes dimmed a bit. She didn't want to die, but unfortunately, she could no longer fight. At least for more than ten minutes, her scarred body didn't allow her to continue fighting.

'Ah, is it like this? I really hope... I can return to Sakura Wind Forest.'

The luster in Shang Yue's eyes completely dimmed, and her heart stopped. This was the life-saving stunt her brother taught her, a life-saving stunt on the battlefield when there was no other choice: playing dead.

Boom, boom~

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground came one after another, which made Shang Yue completely desperate. The enemy was preventing anyone from playing dead.

"Go to hell!"

A desperate shout came, and after a short burst of sharp blade slashing, the battle ended.

'Damn it.'

Shang Yue felt her eyes moistening. Before this, her attitude toward death was contempt. Death was just death. As a Feather tribe member, she feared no death, which was also the reason why she didn't smile.

But when death gradually approached, Shang Yue found that she wasn't as strong as she imagined. She was afraid. She was missing the delicious desserts made by the family chef. Her tears were about to flow out uncontrollably, but she held them back. She was a Feather tribe member, one of the big tribes in the Void.

Death was more terrifying than Shang Yue imagined. Just at this moment, heavy footsteps approached, and cold air spread onto her body. Cold, cruel, without a trace of pity, death was closer.

"Amu."

"Moo?"

"This is a question of whether you can eat dinner or not."

"Moo!"

Amu realized the seriousness of the matter, so it glanced at Shang Yue and walked away.

Hearing this short conversation, Shang Yue was a bit puzzled, but just at this moment, footsteps approached again, and along with it was a faint blood aura.

A hand grabbed Shang Yue's long hair and lifted her up a bit. Shang Yue was playing dead at this time, and her vision was a bit blurry, but she vaguely saw the man crouching in front of her take a gray stone from his bosom and stick this gray stone to her cheek. At most 3 seconds, she felt a faint heat through the touch on her cheek.

Shang Yue felt the hand grabbing her long hair loosen. Soon, she smelled the unique scent of tobacco.

But not long after, Shang Yue felt that man grab a strand of her hair and cut it off. Shang Yue knew that this was the enemy leaving some souvenirs before killing her.

"Boss, they are all dead. The twins are still quite rule-abiding and didn't come nearby."

"Hmm."

After Shang Yue heard this short conversation, the footsteps began to move away. As for why she kept hearing footsteps, the reason was that her face was pressed against the ground, so of course she heard it clearly.

Sensing that the enemy had already left, Shang Yue's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. She succeeded! Playing dead succeeded! She really succeeded! Her brother's life experience was indeed richer.

At this moment, Shang Yue's non-smiling personality was healed, because living was simply too beautiful.

It seemed like something was stuck in Shang Yue's throat, and she was actually a bit choked. She found that living was so beautiful, and playing dead was simply a godly skill.

She survived. Shang Yue swore that the enemy she encountered this time was the most ferocious and decisive enemy she had ever encountered.

In fact, Shang Yue's playing dead couldn't deceive Su Xiao at all. Shang Yue could survive because of the protection of her tribe, the protection of the Feather tribe + Demon tribe. Without these two, just by her identity as a Feather tribe member, she would definitely have died today.

The Demon tribe and the Feather tribe were playing a big game of chess, and Su Xiao was a 'chess watcher' on the side. In order to prevent him from smashing a certain piece on the chessboard, one of the chess players, 'Old Demon Goat', had previously conveyed a message through secret channels.

It was fine for the two chess players to consume each other's pieces, but if Su Xiao, as a chess watcher, overturned the chessboard, then the three parties would actually not feel good. After all, the two chess players had already promised benefits to the chess watcher. If it wasn't a battle in a public occasion, Su Xiao wouldn't smash the chessboard; there was no benefit in that.

For this reason, Su Xiao sent Nita away first to avoid the other party seeing him let go of a 'small piece'.

The two old guys of the Demon tribe and the Feather tribe were ruthless enough. The war between the two tribes wouldn't have few deaths. Even if the final goal was achieved, the two tribes wouldn't immediately shake hands and make peace. At least they would be hostile for another period of time before returning to good terms due to some 'opportunity'.

Even, this chess game was only known to a few people. This wasn't because the two old guys were selfish; everything they did was also for their respective tribes.

In a place like the Void, stable development for too long would make people jealous. Good things like 'if people don't offend me, I don't offend people' had basically ceased to exist since the end of the Law-Exterminator era.

In the dense forest, Su Xiao put a strand of long hair into a test tube. This thing could be exchanged for supplies from a certain 'Old Demon Goat'. As for the other party not giving it? That was fundamentally impossible.

Su Xiao was not worried at all about the retaliation from that female Feather tribe member because that was almost impossible, unless the two old guys made a decision error. Even if that really happened, she would have died in some war zone before that female Feather tribe member found Su Xiao.

There were three reasons why Su Xiao could become one of the chess watchers.

1. He was a Law-Exterminator.

2. He had traded Black Maple Tree branches with the Demon tribe, and that branch was something that 'Old Demon Goat' used to prolong his life. In the future, that old guy would still need Black Maple Tree branches.

3. In a certain sense, he represented Samsara Paradise in this chess game.

If it weren't for this, those two old guys who had lived for over a thousand years would never have taken the initiative to show themselves.

Arcane Eternal Star, the Demon tribe, and the Feather tribe had undercurrents surging between the three parties. The Devil tribe, who liked to 'do business', often came to stir up trouble. The Star tribe had an attitude of 'they are the boss, heaven is the second', arrogant, but also low-key. They could be seen everywhere, but they wouldn't provoke any party. ===== CHAPTER 2224 =====
