"This is a relic left by the predecessor Sloth."
At this time, the voice of Blood Worship Cult Holy Son came faintly through the deep darkness and the triple doors.
"Relic?" Bai Zhou was confused, but did not look back. Most of his energy fell on Monster in front of him, and he always maintained a high degree of vigilance.
"Obviously, this is a Sea Star - a sad Sea Star."
Holy Son explained, "There is information showing that Sloth once liked to keep some weird pets - for example, he once picked up a half-dead Sea Star from the Reflection Ruins Realm and kept it as a pet at home."
"Although it comes from the Reflection Ruins Realm, this Sea Star has never shown any magic. It is no different from Sea Star of Ordinary, and it is always in a dormant state of dying."
As he said that, Holy Son slowly shook his head. "Until that Sloth died, this Sea Star still didn't show any magic, except----"
"Better able to bark."
Can you call?
Bai Zhou was a little puzzled by this description, and then heard Holy Son continue, "It is said that when the predecessor Sloth died, this Sea Star was like an old dog that had lost its owner. The data showed that it howled in the Seven Sins Hall for three days, and the sound was endless."
"When Seven Sins Hall is closed, it will linger in front of the Seven Sins Hall's door, as if Gatekeeper has never left."
"At that time, people thought that this Sea Star would die soon----"
"However, the pollution from Seven Sins Institute caused serious distortion of the sad Sea Star, gradually turning into the corrupt Monster, which is what you see now."
Looking beyond the triple door and the deep Ill Omen darkness, Holy Son's scarlet gaze fell on Sea Star's pink, ulcerated, pus-producing and tumorous tentacles. "It has become uglier and stronger!"
"With a body of two to three meters tall, countless fangs and sharp teeth, and deadly weapons all over the body, it is simply a masterpiece born for killing. Combined with it, it is almost as powerful as Lifeforger, who swept through level 6 titles----"
"Many people in the religion tried to subdue it, but failed. In addition, the pollution from Seven Sins Institute in its body had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Over time, people just left it alone and got used to its role of Seven Sins Institute Gatekeeper."
Holy Son shook his head slowly, and this action caused the black hood that was arched high above his head to tremble a few times. "In the past two years, its active time has become less and less, and its dormant time has become longer and longer. It is obvious that its real death is not far away."
"Even if other Seven Sins come here, they can't disturb its sleep-until today."
Even without turning around, Bai Zhou could clearly feel that the eyes from Holy Son behind him were falling on him with interest.
"Now, it looks like——"
Then, Bai Zhou heard Holy Son preach. "It seems to regard you as its master.
"Master----" While Bai Zhou was carefully looking at Sea Star in front of him, his thoughts were also flowing rapidly.
If you can really become the owner of this Sea Star Monster, it will be a happy thing for everyone. It is equivalent to Bai Zhou getting a pet that is more powerful than yourself.
When fighting with people in the future, Bai Zhou doesn't even need to do anything himself. He can just throw this two- to three-meter-tall Monster Sea Star out and hit someone's head.
However, Bai Zhou knew deep down in his heart that the owner Sea Star recognized was his predecessor Sloth, not himself.
He had seen a similar story in Evening City. It was about someone pretending to be a Black Robe female Elder White Moon light based on a certain misunderstanding. The two of them were so sweet together——
But when the real female Elder White Moon Hikaru died and the suicide note was exposed, the truth was revealed. The fake White Moon Hikari was immediately hanged on the stake by the gnashing teeth of the female Elder, and was burned until only the dregs were left. The bones were shattered and the ashes were thrown away.
However, this kind of story is different from other Evening City stories. Gossip involving Black Robe Lord objects will never appear in textbooks. It comes from magazines that Bai Zhou bought on the roadside and only occasionally opened them before going to bed----
Therefore, the false relationship maintained by misunderstanding will not last long. When the misunderstanding is solved, the backlash of hatred will last longer.
It's more than that.
"Buzz----"
The almost ubiquitous pollution around him brought a bone-chilling pain to Bai Zhou. The invisible influence was trying to break through Bai Zhou's skin and flesh and corrupt Bai Zhou's bones. However, it was blocked by the abundant spirituality between Bai Zhou's flesh and blood, and the two were consuming each other.
These pollutions come from the triple doors in front of us, from the Seven Sins Hall behind the triple doors, but more from the Monster Sea Star in front of us, as if it is a huge radiation source, with terrible pollution overflowing from it.
This kind of harmful pollution is deep-rooted and penetrates every inch of flesh and blood, just like Bai Zhou went to the Reflection Ruins Realm a hundred times and did not undergo SCE purification Ritual every time he came back.
It goes without saying that no one wants to carry around such a source of pollution.
But at the same time, Bai Zhou had doubts in his mind. "Blood Worship Cult Seven Sins Institute, why is there such a level of pollution----"
This strange pollution is somewhat similar to the pollution Reflection Ruins Realm brought to the Extraordinaries, but it is obviously not the same thing. Especially in terms of aggressiveness and corrosiveness, it is extremely dangerous!
"Master----Master----"
The harsh noise of fingernails scraping against the blackboard kept echoing in his ears. Bai Zhou clearly noticed that the rolling eyes on the pink tentacles were looking at him at the same time. To be precise, they landed on Gospel Book in Bai Zhou's palm.
In those cloudy eyeballs that were covered with bloodshot eyes and varied in size, there was a vague emotion that seemed like confusion and memory, as if an old dog was wagging its nose crazily and smelling its owner's scent.
But----
Suddenly, the wildly rotating eyes suddenly froze, then shrank dangerously, and all eyes were locked rigidly on Bai Zhou: "No, you are not the master----"
At first, there were intermittent whispers, and then a scream sounded, "You--are not the master!"
"Kill! Kill you!"
The scream brought up the hunting wind pressure, lifting the sleeves of Bai Zhou's windbreaker.
The lumps of rotten flesh rustled down and landed at the feet of Bai Zhou, squirming and possessing some strange activity.
"It seems that if you want to step into the Seven Sins Hall, you have to pass it first----"
Holy Son from behind sighed with emotion, "If you want to become the new Sloth, you must defeat the pet Gatekeeper left by the predecessor Sloth.
17
Don't you think this is sacred?"
"Like those epic poems that are always told."
"----" Fang Xiaoxia, who was standing aside, quietly moved away from Holy Son, whose mind was obviously not normal, and was almost touching Teacher Ya, whom she couldn't see.
Stop talking now, if you keep it sacred, Blood Shadow will jump out and sing hymns later.
"Ugh!"
Red-White Scalpel in the sleeves disappeared, Bai Zhou put away Gospel Book, his hands turned into black and white swords again, and the atmosphere suddenly reached Tense Atmosphere.
A pair of eyes clearly followed the Gospel Book in Bai Zhou's hand and slowly rotated. When the Gospel Book was put away, the eyeballs of the Sea Star in front of him suddenly returned to their normal positions. The picture was quite strange.
The scene of the close confrontation with Sea Star made Bai Zhou inexplicably think of Gladiator on Troy Arena, and the animated Sea Star that Bai Zhou thought was the trapped Ancient God on the day Evening City was broken----
Then, Bai Zhou stepped forward.
He has a reason to set foot on the Seven Sins Hall, and there is no reason for him to be blocked by a Sea Star.
Speaking of which, Adventurer, in the past Troy Civilization, was also called Gladiator.
In that era that has long been buried by the years, what Adventurer is best at is catching and fighting with Monster!
"Whoops!"
Black and white blades come to kill each other.
In front of the door, the mass of carrion finally revealed its true fangs.
Hundreds of sharp mouths with thousands of staggered fangs clicked, and five tentacles suddenly bounced up from the door of Golden Splendor at the same time, like five sharp machine blades protruding from the door.
The moment it approached Bai Zhou, the tumors at the ends of the tentacles exploded one after another, and the black and white eyeballs were densely packed and shot out towards Bai Zhou's face like spat out peas.
The eyeballs sprayed out by the exploded tumors even dragged slender bloody flesh, as if countless parasites were about to take root in Bai Zhou's flesh and blood!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The blades danced, Bai Zhou's two airtight knives cut off these flesh strands one after another, and the eyeballs exploded in the air with a crisp sound accompanied by pus splashing. The scene illuminated by the Bai Zhou knife light looked very disgusting.
"It's just art----"
Holy Son in the rear was intoxicated by this scene.
"Every time I watch him fight, I feel like it's a pleasure. His body from top to bottom is like a war machine, born for killing. His hands turn into two swords, like arms, fingers, and swords. Human beings can never achieve this level!"
"Only the masterpieces of the world, the miraculous craftsmanship of the Reflection Ruins Realm, and the most special creatures in the world like King of Lustful Evils, can do this."
Holy Son raised his chin slightly under his hood. "But he is not a masterpiece in the world, nor is he the miraculous workmanship of the Reflection Ruins Realm----"
He is mine! A masterpiece!"
Hearing this, [Fluoxetine] beside Holy Son bowed and flattered. "Sloth is mighty, Holy Son is wise!"
"It can be seen that in this era, destiny is on me, Blood Worship Cult, and Blood Moon will eventually return to the earth!"
Fang Xiaoxia and Crow standing aside: "----"
No, I feel like the Blood Shadow in my body is ready to move. Sister, please calm down!
These two crazy duo don't need you, a third party, to get involved!
"AAA-
The strange scream means that the battle between Monster Sea Star and Bai Zhou has reached a fierce stage.
Bai Zhou's double knives had just cut off two tentacles when the third tentacle wrapped around his ankle at a strange speed. Then he pulled hard and exerted force. The unstoppable force made Bai Zhou's body suddenly lose balance.
His back hit the stone slab beside him, and immediately in front of him were several tentacles of Sea Star Monster pressing down at the same time, like five heavy stone pillars, nailing Bai Zhou's limbs and torso to the ground.
The sharp teeth bit down hard on Bai Zhou's shoulder, three-thirds of the way into the flesh, and blood spurted out along the holes in Bai Zhou's white coat.
"Buzz! Buzz buzz!"
Bai Zhou gritted his teeth and exerted force. The black and white double blades on his arms reversely cut the tentacles wrapped around his limbs. He twisted his waist in place, turned 360 degrees, and then 360 degrees, 360 degrees----
<Thousand-Blade Vortex Slash>!
Bai Zhou spun in place like a top, even violating physics without any help. The whirling blade cut through the tentacled carrion layer by layer, Monster Sea Star screamed in pain.
"AAA-
The tentacles shrank back like spasms, and streams of black blood spattered, covering Bai Zhou's face. The pungent stench almost made Bai Zhou suffocate.
However, before Bai Zhou had time to breathe, new Flesh Buds appeared from the severed tentacle sections.
"Pffffffff----"
Flesh Buds grows, interweaves, and twists into shape at a visible speed. In just a blink of an eye, a brand new tentacle grows from the fracture, and it is thicker than before, and the pointed beak and eyeballs on it are increasingly densely packed.
Regeneration! Or proliferation!
My heart felt horrified and there was a chill in my heart, but Bai Zhou didn't believe that this Sea Star could be the immortal Monster.
Demon can be killed, let alone a polluted pet?
There must be some way----
The fighting continued, Bai Zhou moved quickly and left behind images, but his eyes remained calm and observed.
Gradually, he discovered something unusual about Sea Star.
Behind this Sea Star, there is a naked organ that looks like a brain, which is suspected to be the nerve center of all the tentacles.
Monster Sea Star has never been stingy with the tentacles it can regenerate, but it has always protected its back extremely well. It always sticks its back firmly to the door and does not expose it to others. Only when it occasionally finds an opportunity to attack Bai Zhou, does it reveal a little bit of its back.
Weaknesses.
-This should be the weakness of Sea Star!
Bai Zhou tried to attack there, but several tentacles immediately fell down.
After a brief confrontation, Bai Zhou failed in all three attempts.
The first time, he moved back from the left, but before he could reach the side, three tentacles had already swept over and knocked him away.
The second time, he used the high-speed rotation of <Thousand-Blade Vortex Slash> to try to pass over Sea Star and cut the connection between Monster and the door. However, Monster had quick eyes and quick hands. He raised two tentacles and clamped Bai Zhou's waist and abdomen like chopsticks, almost breaking his spine!
The third time, Bai Zhou showed a flaw, attracting Sea Star to break away from the door and attack itself fiercely. Then Bai Zhou squatted, slid, rolled, and got through the gap between the tentacles, just about to cut him down. As soon as the organ hit, Sea Star's body suddenly shrank, and its entire back pressed against the door leaf again. At the same time, a New Student tentacle emerged from its armpit, and slapped Bai Zhou back to where it was.
No----
This can't go on like this.
Bai Zhou, who was suffering from more and more injuries, realized this problem.
The opponent's weaknesses are also traps. If you blindly focus on the opponent's weaknesses and attack but still fail to capture them, you will only fall into the trap of survival again and again!
The most important thing is actually----
The opponent is too strong. The speed at which the tentacles are thrust out and the powerful force contained in them are completely incomparable even to the current Bai Zhou!
Coupled with the difficult characteristics of regeneration and proliferation, and the more and more tentacles are chopped off----
Even if an Extraordinary of the Lifeforger level comes, it will still take some effort to deal with this Monster Sea Star.
This Monster, which has been coveted and then given up by many Blood Worship Cult, is indeed quite tricky. Even Bai Zhou, who is currently banned by destiny, still needs to use all his cards before he can give it a try.
"Buzz----"
Red-White Horse Saber sensed, as if inviting a fight.
At the same time, Bai Zhou felt an inexplicable burning sensation in his chest, as if a big Sun Rise was about to start.
Secret skills taught by heaven, [Heaven's Will Returns to Ashes]!
Want to use it?
Bai Zhou only thought about it for a tenth of a moment and put the idea aside temporarily.
If you were to fight Sea Star Monster in front of you alone in a place where no one knew, Bai Zhou would be happy to use this set of heaven-given secret skills. Try your strength and weakness with this Sea Star Monster, whose strength is close to that of Lifeforger.
But not now.
It's not that it can't be used, but it's best not to use it.
Because Blood Worship Cult's Holy Son was watching him not far behind.
[Heaven's Will Returns to Ashes] Such a surprise----if possible, he would like to leave it to this Holy Son.
Unless there is no other way.
But at the moment, at least Bai Zhou has another method worth trying----
Bai Zhou The white knife in his right hand transformed into a normal arm, and then reached into his arms.
He took out [Gospel of Sloth] and turned the pages between his fingers.
At this moment, the battlefield suddenly became quiet, and the endless low whistle of Monster Sea Star suddenly stopped. A pair of eyes just stared at Gospel Book in the palm of Bai Zhou, almost unable to take their eyes away.
"Sure enough!" Bai Zhou's eyes narrowed.
The next moment, Gospel Book suddenly closed, and Bai Zhou threw Gospel Book in his hand to the side.
"Clatter----"
Gospel Book was flying in the air, the pages were clattering, and the dim picture was reflected in the depths of Monster's countless eyes.
"AAAA-
Monster went crazy again, but this time the sound didn't sound like a roar, but more like a whimper.
It's like an old dog running to grab a bone, or like a dog that has been abandoned for many years and finally hears the footsteps of its owner after many years.
"Shua----"
Monster Sea Star suddenly ejected from the door, and threw his whole body towards Gospel Book in mid-air, with his arms and legs spread out, as if he was biting.
At this moment, the back of Monster Sea Star was finally exposed.
That pulsating, exposed organ appeared in front of Bai Zhou without any obstruction for the first time.
"It's now!" Bai Zhou was sure in his heart. At the same time, the crow behind him also gave a similar low-pitched reminder.
"Ugh!"
The swift figure jumped up from the ground, closed the black and white double blades, flashed the cross of the blade, aimed at Monster Sea Star's exposed organ, and struck down with all its strength.
Cut!
At the same time, in order to ensure a sure kill with one strike, there was a red and white edge that flashed vaguely in the light of the black and white sword.
"Pfft!"
The organs exploded under the three swords, and pus and black blood splattered everywhere.
Everything was as Bai Zhou expected, the organs could not regenerate, Sea Star Monster's body quickly shriveled up, and large clumps of Black Mist carrying pollution broke away from Monster's body amidst inexplicable screams and gradually dispersed in the air.
What appeared in front of Bai Zhou was Sea Star, who had been shriveled and dying. His five arms and legs tightly embraced Gospel Book, left behind by his predecessor Sloth, quietly.
"Gulu, Gulu----"
The mouths on the tentacles screamed, and the eyeballs no longer moved ferociously. It slowly moved away from the door inch by inch, leaving only a wet trail, like a tear trail, where it passed.
It held Gospel Book in its arms and came to the roadside to calm down.
Then he died silently under the silent gaze of Bai Zhou.
Seems liberating.
As if satisfied.
Next.
Sea Star The festering flesh and blood was cracked and scattered on the ground.
"" sound--
Something fell off the decomposed corpse of Sea Star.
"Is this----?" Bai Zhou looked at it intently.
A translucent pink Red Crystal ball rolled on the ground.
But when Bai Zhou carefully held it in his hand, he was surprised to find that Crystal Ball was actually warm, and even beat slightly in his hand.
Like an egg.
Eggs with little lives hidden inside.
A hatchable egg.
Can----Sea Star also lay eggs?
Bai Zhou How do you remember that in <Black Cat Naughty Eight Thousand Questions>, Sea Star reproduces asexually and does not lay eggs----
"Huh?"
At this time, the crow's whisper reached my ears, and the windbreaker rustled, and at the same time, the figure suddenly appeared next to Bai Zhou.
"It seems that this is the heir left behind by that Sea Star. It is a recognition and entrustment to you."
Crow said, "He went to follow his predecessor Sloth, and entrusted the child to you, Sloth's successor, as a gift for you to become Sloth."
"For such an egg, Destined One have a hundred ways to make it recognize itself as its owner and make it a spiritually connected pet."
"But----"
As he spoke, Crow's eyes were burning, and he carefully looked at the pink translucent Crystal Ball in Bai Zhou's hand. "If you just looked at the Monster that was contaminated by Seven Sins Institute just now, you wouldn't be able to see anything----but now, seeing the original form of Sea Star----"
Crow hesitated to speak, looking uncertainly at the pink Crystal Ball on Bai Zhou's hand. "I think all Blood Worship Cult people may have made a mistake."
"If I guess correctly, it probably should have come from an ancient temple deep in Atlantic Ocean, and its origin can even be traced back to the stars in the sky!"
The crow's eyes were burning:
, this Sea Star probably has a great origin!"
