Chapter 566 Dark Clouds Loom Over the City, Threatening to Destroy It
Chapter 566 Dark Clouds Loom Over the City, Threatening to Destroy It
In the end, Xu Si still didn't get to drink.
He wasn't craving it; he just hadn't drunk it before the apocalypse because he was a minor.
I can't say I've never drunk it, but I've never gotten drunk on it. I've almost forgotten what it tastes like now.
As for other things he wanted to eat, Xu Si didn't have any.
Perhaps my mom's cooking should be considered one.
But no one can recreate that taste anymore.
……
"Xu Si, something strange is happening!" Yi Yi suddenly warned Xu Si while he was chatting with Fu Xiaojian.
Whatever could trigger these reminders must be something truly bizarre.
"What do you mean?"
"Three-headed, level eight, bizarre! Very strong! Very fast!" Yi Yi said.
"You mean they came together?" Xu Si caught the unspoken part in Yi Yi's words.
You must understand that we are currently in the final chapter of the divine selection that Wanliuchun mentioned, so shouldn't these high-ranking and strange encounters be a battle of mutual slaughter and devouring?
Why did they come together?
"Yi-yi, can you confirm their intentions?"
"They didn't hide their presence. It's like they deliberately let us discover them." Yi Yi's voice was filled with confusion.
"And they came from the same place, and their destination is very clear—it should be here," Yi Yi confirmed.
"The same place? You mean the eerie place where the tide recedes?"
Xu Si had some guesses.
Before he could even go looking for these guys, they came knocking on his door first.
"Yes!" Yi Yi replied.
Earth has now expanded many times over, and although Yi Yi has already controlled most of Earth's territory, this has reached the limit of her size.
She still has a long way to go before she can fully control Earth.
However, there is still a third of Earth that is outside her control, and those are the places where the monsters gather and recede.
"Uh, Xu Si, there seems to be someone we know inside..." Yi Yi didn't know whether she should say it or not, but if she didn't say it now, she would find out eventually.
"You mean Fan Wanwan?" Xu Si thought and thought, and the only one who could be strangely connected to Gao Wei was probably that woman.
To be honest, Fan Wanwan treated Yi Yi differently, after all, she had given the little girl quite a few benefits back then.
So, on the other hand, if Fan Wanwan takes the lead in stepping forward, the situation seems to be quite good.
"They want to negotiate?" This was the only possibility Xu Si could think of.
"What are we talking about? What's there to talk about?" Fu Xiaojian also guessed what Xu Si was talking about from his few words.
But his words weren't meant to sever ties; rather, they expressed doubt.
The three high-ranking figures arrived at the City of Fire in a bizarre manner, and he knew immediately what that meant.
This may be the first formal negotiation between the supernatural and humanity.
This is something that has never happened before or after the apocalypse.
Especially since the bizarre has gained an absolute advantage, this is even more impossible.
So, when did the change begin?
Is it Xu Si advancing to Sequence Nine, or Yi Yi settling down in the City of Fire?
Has offense and defense truly become alienated?
"They must really be here to negotiate."
Fu Xiaojian remained silent for a few moments, a deep frown forming between his brows: "Three level-eight monsters coming together, are you sure you're not here to overturn the table?"
"You don't need to give prior notice to flip the table." Xu Si stood up and looked at the northern sky. His senses had already caught sight of the three figures.
"If it's a table-flipping incident, it won't just be these three high-ranking monsters coming, but the entire army of monsters!" Xu Si said confidently.
Of the three strange creatures, Xu Si was familiar with two of them. One was the [Lou Mi King] he had seen in the salt market, which swept across the entire sky. The other was naturally Fan Wanwan, who had broken away from the caravan. As for the last one, it was a crimson dragon that was in no way weaker than the [Lou Mi King].
Its size and power far surpassed that of the evil dragon that Xu Si had dealt with last time.
It is definitely one of the top-tier existences among level eight weird and supernatural phenomena.
"They arrived pretty quickly!"
Xu Si stood on the wooden terrace of the World Tree, gazing at the dark cloud sweeping in from the northern horizon.
Fu Xiaojian's face was grim; he still vividly remembered the scene when he escaped from the salt market.
The head of the [Lou Mi King], which covered the entire sky, even became his nightmare.
I never expected to see him like this again.
"Should I tell them to evacuate now?"
Fu Xiaojian knew that Xu Si was already at Sequence Nine.
However, if a real battle were to break out, the clash between a Sequence 9 and three Level 8 Mysterious beings, even if it were just a minor aftershock, would be a catastrophe for them.
"Need not!"
Immediately, Nirvana in Xu Si's arms transformed into a swimming fish, drifting leisurely from his embrace towards the newly erected city beneath the World Tree.
Oddity 006 is more than just a decoration.
Meanwhile, the city's residents also noticed the rapidly approaching dark clouds in the sky. The clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun, with flashes of red lightning visible within them.
It was a sweeping, devastating force, like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.
This is definitely not an ordinary celestial phenomenon.
Without even needing to be mobilized, familiar figures appeared one after another on the city wall, and not a single person retreated.
They drew their swords and knives, clearly ready to defend their homeland.
Xu Si originally planned to talk to these high-ranking and mysterious figures after he returned.
If the negotiations don't go well, he wouldn't mind killing a bunch of them.
In this way, when he goes to a more distant small world to heal his wounds, he won't have to come back halfway to clean up his mess again.
Unexpectedly, before he even set off, these guys were already impatient.
Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it.
These were no ordinary dark clouds, but rather clouds condensed purely from eerie energy, surging in from the northern horizon like an iron-gray curtain lifted by a giant hand, seemingly poised to devour the entire city with overwhelming force.
The wind arrives before the clouds.
A fierce wind, carrying the scent of decay and ruin, swept in from the north, passing over the verdant canopy of the World Tree and stirring up clouds of dust and fallen leaves.
Like a sickle reaping wheat, like a rushing torrent.
Xu Si waved his hand, and a curtain of starlight completely blocked the demonic wind from advancing even half a step before the city.
They had weathered a storm like this before, and now, he was no longer that precarious ant struggling to survive.
Xu Si looked into the depths of the dark clouds, where Fan Wanwan gradually appeared, standing on the crimson dragon mountain.
Meanwhile, the enormous head of the [Lou Mi King] appeared in mid-air, with flowing, viscous shadows hanging from its massive, mountain-like antlers.
His gaze, however, was fixed on the World Tree, or rather, on Xu Si on the World Tree.
His eyes showed neither fear nor humility in the face of a higher level of life; rather, they seemed to carry a hint of eagerness.
Xu Si understood; this guy also had his eye on being chosen by God.
Fan Wanwan's gaze towards Xu Si was somewhat complicated. She hadn't expected Xu Si to come to this point, let alone that he would come to this point so quickly.
The red dragon, however, merely scrutinized the situation, showing neither goodwill nor hostility.
