C40 – A Three-Way Battle

Only 40%? Mu Sichen was stunned.

 

 

If a dependent could only fill 40% of the quota, then even if the feathered-eyed dependent was added, he could only store 80%; what about the remaining 20%?

 

 

Mu Sichen’s eyes fell on Yao Wangping.

 

 

Did he have to ki-ll all three of the people in the scene by himself in order to build up his power?

 

 

However, the system’s terminology wasn’t to use the “digging” skill but rather to “eliminate.”.

 

 

 

Mu Sichen could eliminate the heavy pupils and the feathered Eyed dependents. The Heavy Pupils dependent was the one who took the initiative to relegate Ying Mao to the assembly area and asked everyone to vote for him to be put into the breeding area, so it could be said that he indirectly k-illed Ying Mao. As for the Feather-eyed dependent, the first time Mu Sichen saw him, he purified four players who knew nothing about this world.

 

 

But Yao Wangping…

 

 

 

Mu Sichen admitted that he didn’t have a good feeling towards Yao Wangping and didn’t agree with Yao Wangping’s views.

 

 

But that didn’t mean Yao Wangping was necessarily wrong.

 

 

Mu Sichen was born in a peaceful era, it was normal for him to dislike sacrifices and loathe death. Yao Wangping’s living environment was such a world, he hadn’t experienced Yao Wangping’s life, so Mu Sichen could only disagree with the other, but couldn’t deny his ideology.

 

 

He couldn’t even deny it, so how could he “eliminate” Yao Wangping with his own hands?

 

 

He clenched the crossaxe and swung it at Yao Wangping, actually blocking a dozen or so feathers that were sharper than steel knives from the Feathered Eye Dependent.

 

 

 

The feathers hit the crossaxe so hard that Mu Sichen felt his hands were numb, making it difficult to swing the crossaxe for a while.

 

 

 

He saw the light in front of Yao Wangping’s chest getting weaker and weaker, and he knew that the attacks of the feather-eyed dependent were continuously weakening the defensive ability of the Guardian Sword and that if he could block some of them, the Guardian Light would be consumed a little slower as well.

 

 

Mu Sichen decided not to worry about whether or not to deal with Yao Wangping for the time being, and took advantage of the help to finish off the Feathered Eyed dependent first.

 

 

Maybe the energy would be full after eliminating the Heavy pupils dependent.

 

 

 

After all, the Heavy Pupils dependent was much weaker than the Feathered Eyes dependent, so if he could keep 40% of his energy by ki-lling him, he might be able to keep 60% of their energy by ki-lling the Feathered Eyed dependent.

 

 

 

With a wave of its feathered wings, the feather-eyed dependent swept away Yao Wangping’s incoming mechanical tentacles, and the eyes on the feathered wings on the side facing Mu Sichen opened up to look at Mu Sichen.

 

 

“Although I haven’t seen you, this crossaxe…” The countless eyes on the feathered wings narrowed at the same time. The feathered eye dependent reached out and plucked off a few feathers, tossing them into the air, and spat out two words as if chanting under his breath, “Real.”

 

 

Several feathers formed a line in the air and turned in a circle above Mu Sichen’s head.

 

 

 

Before Mu Sichen could dodge, a huge eyeball appeared in that circle of feathers, and the eyeball popped out of the circle of feathers and spun twice towards Mu Sichen.

 

 

 

As the eyeball’s sight landed on Mu Sichen, something seemed to turn into small dust-like particles on his face, and the particles floated upwards.

 

 

 

Mu Sichen’s face first turned into He Fei’s, and then He Fei’s face continued to float away, revealing Mu Sichen’s original appearance.

 

 

 

“It really is you.” The feather-eyed dependent and Yao Wangping said it in unison.

 

 

Mu Sichen: “……”

 

 

 

It wasn’t that these two were so smart, but the crossaxe’s recognizability was too high; the person who swung this crossaxe would be suspected to be Mu Sichen no matter what he looked like.

 

 

The face that was replaced disappeared, but the first thought that popped into Mu Sichen’s mind was that he had wasted 300 energy points for nothing.

 

 

Had he known that Ying Mao’s face couldn’t be used, he wouldn’t have changed his face.

 

 

While he was in a trance, a mechanical tentacle ruthlessly flew over. Mu Sichen hastily raised the crossaxe to block “Boom.”  He was sent flying by the tentacle, turning twice in the air before landing, and the mechanical tentacle was also smashed by the crossaxe, with only half of it left.

 

 

Mu Sichen rolled a dozen times after landing and only stopped when he rolled into the cornfield.

 

 

His whole body was in pain, and he lay on the ground and coughed heavily twice, coughing up a mouthful of blo-od.

 

 

If it weren’t for the fact that the crossaxe was invulnerable to attacks below the god level, this blow could have directly smashed Mu Sichen into two.

 

 

As for the feather-eyed dependent’s wings, which were actually able to block the terrifying attack power of this mechanical tentacle, both of them were strong enough to crush the heavy pupils dependent.

 

 

Mu Sichen coughed and climbed up; his hands were so numb that it was difficult to hold the crossaxe.

 

 

Yao Wangping was too ruthless.

 

 

 

While he was hesitating whether to attack Yao Wangping or not, Yao Wangping disregarded his favour of getting rid of the heavy pupils dependent and blocking the Feather eyed dependent for him and didn’t hesitate to deal a fatal blow to him.

 

 

But Mu Sichen understood what Yao Wangping was doing.

 

 

In Yao Wangping’s eyes, Mu Sichen was perhaps a more terrifying enemy than the heavy pupils dependent.

 

 

The dependent was only preventing Yao Wangping from getting close to the pillar. Even if he couldn’t ki-ll him, Yao Wangping would still have a chance to take advantage of the loopholes in his defence and break into the pillar to destroy it.

 

 

But Mu Sichen could directly seize the “pillar.”  After touching it, he could also drive out all the people in the “pillar.”  Once Mu Sichen got the “pillar,”  Yao Wangping would never get close to the “pillar” again.

 

 

Mu Sichen was still coughing when suddenly countless rays of light appeared in front of his closed left eye.

 

 

His left eye saw some invisible attacks!

 

 

Mu Sichen rolled on the ground to avoid the range of these rays.

 

 

After rolling away from the spot, Mu Sichen then looked back; the corn stalks around the place where he was lying had already withered.

 

 

This was actually an attack by the feather eye dependent!

 

 

The image he had imagined of him and Yao Wangping dealing with the feather-eyed dependent first and then peacefully fighting over the “pillar” didn’t appear. As soon as Mu Sichen appeared, the two of them changed their priority target to him.

 

 

Perhaps it was because Mu Sichen had taken advantage of the chaotic battle between the two last time to reap the benefits. There was too much hatred between them.

 

 

Mu Sichen relied on his left eye to be able to see invisible attacks and rolled on the ground to dodge several attacks from the feather-eyed dependent. Just as he felt that he really couldn’t hold on this time, Yao Wangping suddenly propped up half of his mechanical tentacles towards the ground and jumped with his own force, using the power of his tentacles to leap into the air, levelling off with the feather-eyed dependent.

 

 

The feather-eyed dependent that was focused on attacking Mu Sichen couldn’t dodge in time and was bitten by Yao Wangping on the left wing.

 

 

Yao Wangping smiled cruelly and controlled the mechanical tentacles to contract rapidly.

 

 

The force of gravity and the contraction force of the mechanical tentacles allowed Yao Wangping to pull off the feathered wing on the left side of the Feathered Eyes Dependent at once. The Feathered Eyes Dependent let out a cry of pain, and the feathered wing lost on one side of the feathered wing couldn’t fly in the air any more, so he landed heavily on the ground.

 

 

This wasn’t a two-versus-one battle, but a three-way melee. No matter who it was, as long as they were a little relaxed, they would be attacked.

 

 

Yao Wangping’s mouth was full of bloo-d dir, and he and the feather eye dependent fell at the same time.

 

 

At this time, Mu Sichen, who was lying on the ground in severe pain all over his body, didn’t know where the strength came from. He leapt up, coming to the side of the half-sectioned mechanical tentacle that had been chopped off by the crossaxe.

 

That half of the mechanical tentacle was still writhing on the ground and obviously still had some strength left.

 

 

Mu Sichen gently swung the crossaxe, and the other half of the mechanical tentacle obediently wrapped around him, following Mu Sichen’s command.

 

 

The skill “digging” could dig up more than just believers and emotions.

 

 

Since the half of the mechanical tentacle had already been separated from its body, Mu Sichen only used 500 energy points to obtain this weapon.

 

 

Half of the mechanical tentacle was five metres long, and with a thought, Mu Sichen controlled the head of the tentacle to press on the ground.

 

 

He copied Yao Wangping’s attack move and turned himself into a javelin, allowing the mechanical tentacle to throw him into the distance.

 

 

In mid-air, the Feather-eyed dependent flapped its only remaining right feathered wing and shifted its orientation in the air, facing Yao Wangping, who was also falling.

 

 

As the feathered wings spread out, countless lines of sight hit Yao Wangping squarely.

 

 

This time, the white light generated by the Guardian Sword finally dissipated, and countless blo-od-red lines of sight enveloped Yao Wangping, and the skin on his body began to gradually disintegrate, just like the four players at the beginning, who were about to be purified by the Feathered Eye dependent.

 

 

However, Yao Wangping wasn’t an inexperienced novice player, he took advantage of the fact that the Feather-eyed dependent had to aim at him in a position of spreading his wings and that he couldn’t move, so he swung his left hand fiercely.

 

 

The left hand transformed into a mechanical tentacle as it moved, hitting the feather-eyed dependent squarely in the chest from the rear, piercing through his chest.

 

 

Mu Sichen, who had transformed into a javelin, also arrived at his destination in a flash of lightning.

 

 

His target was a wing that had been ripped off by Yao Wangping.

 

 

Mu Sichen spun in the air and knocked the wing with his crossaxe before landing.

 

 

The “Digging” skill was successfully activated, still only consuming 500 energy points, and this half of the wing was also his.

 

 

After landing, Mu Sichen felt a sharp pain in his leg, but he didn’t know whether his foot was twisted or broken.

 

 

But at this time, he couldn’t care about checking his injuries. Mu Sichen used his crossaxe to prop up his body and quickly ran towards the place where Yao Wangping and the feather-eyed dependent fell.

 

 

Yao Wangping’s defence had been broken, and he had been hit hard by the devastating sight; he was already dying.

 

 

Although the feather-eyed dependent had been pierced through his chest by a mechanical tentacle, his feathers could still attack!

 

 

His eyes widened greatly, ignoring the bloo-d pouring from his chest like a fountain. He vowed to purify Yao Wangping, the heretic.

 

 

The feather-eyed favourite didn’t protect himself, still unfurling his feathered wings to attack.

 

 

But just before the purification sight shot onto Yao Wangping again, his single-sided feather wing that had been ripped off earlier actually stopped between him and Yao Wangping, blocking the attack on Yao Wangping.

 

 

At the same time, half of the mechanical tentacle belonging to Mu Sichen was also firmly wrapped around Yao Wangping, preventing Yao Wangping from having a chance to attack Mu Sichen.

 

 

Mu Sichen’s hand rose up, fell on the crossaxe without any hesitation, and struck the feather-eyed dependent heavily on the body. “Rage One Pickaxe”!

 

 

The feather-eyed dependent, the dependent that gave Mu Sichen an overwhelming shock when he first appeared on the scene, mercilessly killed four players and blocked Ying Mao’s escape path. The dependent that was full of sins, the accomplice of the Big Eye, finally died under the crossaxe.

 

 

[Congratulations to the player for destroying one Pillar-class Favoured One. The Pillar-class Self Sticker energy is stored at 90%; please continue to defeat the Pillar-class Favoured Ones. When the energy reaches 100%, you will be able to obtain a Pillar-class Self Sticker.]

 

 

The head of the crossaxe smashed on the ground. Mu Sichen supported the crossaxe handle with his hand and barely stood up, looking expressionlessly at Yao Wangping, who was bound by the mechanical tentacles.

 

 

The feather-eyed dependent only had 50% energy, and to get enough energy, he had to ki-ll Yao Wangping.

 

 

Mu Sichen gasped for air, and no part of his body didn’t hurt.

 

 

Most of the injuries to his body were caused by Yao Wangping.

 

 

He had helped Yao Wangping, but Yao Wangping had attacked him without mercy, and every strike was meant to ki-ll him.

 

 

He shouldn’t show mercy to Yao Wangping.

 

 

But ……

 

 

Mu Sichen coughed twice and pulled off his backpack with force, lifting out the octopus doll inside.

 

 

The little octopus instinctively hugged Mu Sichen’s arm, its big eyes staring blankly at him.

 

 

Mu Sichen limped over to Yao Wangping, pulled the octopus doll off his arm, and placed it on Yao Wangping.

 

 

Yao Wangping struggled a few times, but was helpless and unable to break free from the mechanical tentacle.

 

 

If he hadn’t attacked Mu Sichen without hesitation in the first place, there was no way Mu Sichen would have been able to get this half of the mechanical tentacle to help him out and thus get the chance to win.

 

 

The octopus doll blinked its eyes, not understanding what Mu Sichen was trying to do.

 

 

Then Mu Sichen’s hand with the ego sticker waved in front of Yao Wangping’s heart and the Guardian Sword appeared in Mu Sichen’s hand, but Yao Wangping’s chest didn’t bleed.

 

 

Ying Mao’s “Wonderful Hands” could steal the enemy’s items without the enemy knowing about it.

 

 

Mu Sichen stole the Guardian Sword and paralysed Yao Wangping’s body due to the “unknown” feature.

 

 

Yao Wangping’s body didn’t know that the Guardian Sword had been detached from his body, so he didn’t bleed for the time being.

 

 

He still had a chance of survival.

 

 

“He is your believer, born to die for you, giving up all emotions; whether he dies or lives is up to you.” Mu Sichen said to the little octopus.

 

 

He couldn’t make a move to destroy Yao Wangping, and he couldn’t give up on the pillar that was close by.

 

 

The object Mu Sichen wanted to attack was not Yao Wangping, but the Guardian Sword that was hated by the crossaxe.

 

 

The sharp side of the crossaxe struck heavily on the Guardian Sword, “A Crossaxe of Wrath”!

 

 

The short sword cracked into two pieces in response.

 

 

[Congratulations to the player for destroying one Pillar-class prop; the Pillar-class self-sticker energy is at 200%; the player has obtained one super-powerful self-sticker].

 

 

[Congratulations to the Indestructible Crossaxe for defeating its arch-enemy and advancing to level 20, becoming the strongest weapon of the Pillar Grade.]

 

 

Mu Sichen: “……”

 

 

The Heavy Pupils and Feather Eye dependents, combined, were no match for a Guardian Sword.

 

 

Mu Sichen weakly came to the vicinity of the “Pillar.”  He wanted to walk into the “Pillar,”  but who knew that as soon as he lifted his leg, he felt a resistance that prevented him from moving forward.

 

 

The “pillar” was a defensive energy, and those who didn’t meet the conditions couldn’t enter the pillar at all.

 

 

Mu Sichen glanced at Yao Wangping, and when he thought about how Yao Wangping had such a strong power but went through the trouble of entering the farming area through normal means, he understood what the conditions for entering the pillar were.

 

 

Only low-level employees of the breeding area could enter the pillar.

 

 

It just so happened that he was.

 

 

Mu Sichen raised his left hand, where Ying Mao’s soul was lodged.

 

 

He reached into the “pillar,”  and this time, the “pillar” really didn’t block but opened wide, allowing Mu Sichen to walk in.

 

 

Standing in the middle of the Sky Pupil’s totem, Mu Sichen held a crossaxe in his left hand, as if he were swinging it together with Ying Mao, and struck the centre of the totem.

 

 

An ego totem that was several times larger than it was at the sanatorium appeared from Mu Sichen’s hand, covering the entire processing plant.

 

 

Mu Sichen bathed in the totem, and the injuries on his body didn’t seem to hurt as much.

 

 

He had destroyed another pillar, and he didn’t know what would happen next.

 

 

With the loss of two pillars, the Big Eye would no longer be able to maintain Tongzhi Town’s domain, so Qin Zu’s main body could break through the protection of the domain and severely injure the Big Eye.

 

 

Mu Sichen looked towards the octopus doll, only to see that the octopus doll had lost half of its tentacle and that half of the tentacle was blocking the wound on Yao Wangping’s chest.

 

 

Yao Wangping took in a breath of fresh air.

 

 

Mu Sichen smiled, weakly walked towards the octopus doll, squatted down and touched its head, and said softly, ”Have I already completed my agreement with you? You won’t follow me back to the real world this time, right?”

 

 

He Fei would slowly become normal, and he wouldn’t have to live in a hotel every day and sleep with his evil god Plushie in his arms; everything would return to normal.

 

 

It was just that Mu Sichen was a little reluctant to let go.

 

 

But only a little; after all, he and the octopus doll weren’t very familiar with each other.

 

 

Mu Sichen thought about the future with some relief; he would distribute the food within the processing plant to the townspeople and then let the townspeople become self-reliant, stop relying on the power of the big eye, and learn to be self-sufficient.

 

 

 

This way, his hope…

 

 

 

Huh? Wait!

 

 

 

Mu Sichen’s expression froze.

 

 

 

As he celebrated, his mind was so relaxed that he had forgotten one thing.

 

 

The system prompts!

 

 

He had clearly seized the pillar, so why didn’t the system prompt him that he had completed the mission? There was no prompt for the safe house to appear.

 

 

Mu Sichen quickly called up the system in front of him, and sure enough, the “Exit Game” button in the lower right corner was still gone.

 

 

 

What happened? Where did it go wrong? Mu Sichen looked at the system panel and pondered.

 

 

“Don’t look; I’ll tell you why.” A familiar voice came from behind.

 

 

Mu Sichen wanted to turn around and ask a ask a question, but a strong sense of crisis suddenly surfaced in his heart.

 

 

“Don’t turn around, don’t turn around, don’t turn around!” This voice kept echoing in his mind.

 

 

As if it were the last cry of his life, his soul was hissing, telling him never to turn back.

 

 

“Why don’t you turn back?” A hand gently rested on Mu Sichen’s shoulder. “I’ve gone through a lot of effort to enter the breeding area. I was worried that you weren’t a match for the two dependents and rushed over; I didn’t expect you to do even better than I thought.”

 

 

Mu Sichen lost control of his body; he couldn’t avoid this person, and he could only close his eyes tightly.

 

 

After closing his eyes, an image automatically appeared in his left eye.

 

 

There was no one behind him, only a bright, bright moon.

 

 

The bright moon emitted a faint light; this light was the most beautiful light in the night. The light gradually seeped into his totem, and the symbols of the sky, earth, and ocean on the totem slowly turned into a round moon.

 

 

 

Shen Jiyue, the moon, the light in the darkness of the night, the Lord of the Night.

 

 

Mu Sichen suddenly remembered that during the first meeting, when Shen Jiyue mentioned Xiangping Town, this person didn’t once use “General Qin” to address Qin Zu.

 

 

 

His description of Qin Zu was “the guardian of mankind,”  “the hand that covers the sky,”  “absolute reason,”  his tone of voice was light, and his attitude wasn’t as respectful as Yao Wangping; rather, it was like describing a person equal to him.

 

 

 

Yao Wangping’s ability came from Qin Zu’s totem, and none of the abilities Qin Zu had shown so far used mirrors to record light.

 

The power related to light was the moon.

 

“You, you are… ” Mu Sichen spoke in a trembling voice, “How is it possible for you to enter the middle of the realm of other god-level monsters?”

 

 

“Because of the light, because of the mirror.” Shen Jiyue spoke softly behind Mu Sichen, “Mu Sichen, do you still remember? The first time I saw you, it wasn’t in a sanatorium.”

 

 

If not in a sanatorium, then where was it? Mu Sichen’s memory instantly returned to when he had just entered the game.

 

 

At that time, he was standing in front of the door of the single flat, and at the moment when “day” and “night” met, he rushed out of the room and took a look at the Big Eye without fear of death.

 

 

At that time, a mirror hung on the wall in front of the flat door, reflecting his appearance.

 

 

Inside the single flat, the mad diary owner strangely disappeared; even the followers who delivered the food didn’t know when this person left the room.

 

 

 

Everything Mu Sichen had ever wondered about was answered at this moment.

 

 

“For my followers, mirrors can transmit the light of the moon, they put it into several rooms at random, and I chose a suitable host.” Shen Jiyue whispered in Mu Sichen’s ear, “But just after I got the host body, I regretted it because I saw a body that was more suitable for ‘Divine Descent’.”

 

 

“Do you want to occupy my body now as well?” Mu Sichen spoke with difficulty.

 

 

Shen Jiyue said softly, “I changed my mind; you’re really smart. Your special ability and destructive power over pillars make you stronger than anyone else. That’s why I have a little more patience with you and why I was willing to give you a little bit of information so that you could help me occupy the pillars of Tongzhi Town.”

 

 

It turned out that when he was in the sanatorium, Shen Jiyue wasn’t withholding information in order to sacrifice himself; he was trying to mislead Mu Sichen and find an excuse to distract Mu Sichen’s attention so that he could distract all the heretics and take over the “pillars” on his own.

 

 

But Mu Sichen, with the idea of not wanting Shen Jiyue to sacrifice himself, still found the truth and also took the initiative to take the risk.

 

 

This made Shen Ji Yue interested in Mu Sichen.

 

 

Like a god’s interest in a mole cricket.

 

 

“Become my dependent,” Shen Jiyue said in a voice full of temptation. “I’ll give you power, and you’ll destroy other realms for me.”

 

 

 

This was the reason why Shen Jiyue had not crushed the mole cricket that was Mu Sichen by this point.

 

 

Mu Sichen slightly opened his mouth; a “no” was about to be said.

 

 

Just at this moment, the town of Tongzhi shook violently.

 

 

Even though he was within the pillar, Mu Sichen still felt a strong tremor.

 

 

His left eye was in severe pain; a horrible and angry hissing sound rang in his ears, and it was as if something terrifying had awakened in the sky.

 

 

It was the big eye!

 

 

It lost two pillars in a row, so the big eye, regardless of the fact that it was still in the “dark night,”  forcibly awakened.

 

 

Shen Jiyue let go of Mu Sichen’s shoulders and said softly, “I still need to deal with this big guy first, which just gives you time to consider.”

 

 

After speaking, Mu Sichen “watched” a bright moon rise into the sky, pass through his totem, and stand in the air.

 

 

The endless moonlight shone on a huge eye, trapping the eye firmly within the moonlight.

 

 

Shen Jiyue concentrated on dealing with the Sky Pupil, and only then did Mu Sichen feel his body loosen up as he regained control of his body.

 

 

Run! Mu Sichen propped up his crossaxe, wanting to escape from this place.

 

 

But after taking a step, Mu Sichen’s footsteps stopped.

 

 

Where could he escape to?

 

 

The quest wasn’t completed, he couldn’t exit the game, and under this endless moonlight, where could he go?
