Suddenly, a change occurred that made Xu Qinglang's heart tremble.

He was very afraid that Old Zhou would die in his hands.

呸呸呸,

Regardless of whether it happened in his hands or not,

Old Zhou must not die.

Everyone knew that the fountain pen was the key to guarding the last sliver of life in Zhou Ze's body and soul after the lightning tribulation.

The fact that the pen was slowly moving outwards earlier actually foreshadowed that this "guardianship" was slowly becoming unsustainable.

But unsustainable is unsustainable,

Now it's been completely ejected,

What the hell?

Zhou Ze's body was peeling away bit by bit. The charred skin and the flesh inside were separating slowly, as if they had been cut into countless pieces.

This wasn’t a jigsaw puzzle. This separation was almost irreversible.

You can’t just use a 502 glue to piece Boss Zhou back together.

Xu Qinglang was shocked.

Hei Xiaoniu was terrified!

Her flag had just been raised, and she was slapped in the face at light speed.

Most importantly,

Her life was bound to Zhou Ze's life.

She wasn’t worried about revenge from others, because once Zhou Ze died, whether they retaliated or not would be meaningless. She’d be dead in half a month at most.

Immediately,

Hei Xiaoniu bit the tip of her tongue,

Spitting out a mouthful of essence blood,

At the same time, her hands rapidly formed hand seals,

At the center of her brow,

A crescent-shaped mark faintly appeared,

Her whole body seemed to be rising with wisps of white smoke,

This was using her own essence blood to stimulate the growth of plants.

She didn't want to die.

She wanted to live.

She accepted her fate.

She chose to be a slave,

Just so she wouldn’t have to die!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!!!!"

The branches and vines in Zhou Ze's body were rapidly expanding.

One after another, plant after plant, all stood up from within.

"Smash open the wall, hurry!"

Hei Xiaoniu shouted shrilly.

Xu Qinglang didn't dare hesitate at all, directly raising his copper coin sword and smashing it over.

"Bang!"

A dent was smashed into the pit wall.

Under Hei Xiaoniu's control, those dense vines drilled into it in one go.

Afterward,

Hei Xiaoniu began to desperately pull backward with both hands,

Like an old farmer drawing water from a deep well.

Right now,

Regardless of whether Xu Qinglang believed in Hei Xiaoniu's ability,

He could only watch her perform,

Even if he carried the boss up to find Lawyer An and the others, it would be too late.

At this point, he could only choose to take a gamble. Was he supposed to bring the boss over and ask everyone to come and see Boss Zhou one last time?

Soon,

Xu Qinglang saw that the dense vines began to be permeated with a green color, which gradually spread, all the way to Boss Zhou's body.

This was like the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project,

But very green, very healthy.

Xu Qinglang immediately looked down at Zhou Ze, and finally, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the speed of Zhou Ze's body peeling away had begun to slow down significantly.

It was working.

It was working!

It seemed that

It was really possible to pull Zhou Ze back from the brink of death!

Zhou Ze's body began to show a light green color. Originally, Xu Qinglang had placed the stone on Zhou Ze's chest, but there was no reaction. Now, through the "plant" medium, it was indeed able to be infused.

The principle was really similar to an IV drip.

Xu Qinglang stood beside, unable to help in any way, he could only watch, and the direction he was watching was the black shadow inside the rock wall.

Lawyer An had specifically reminded him about that black shadow before.

After all,

At this time,

Any unstable factor could lead to disaster, but because the situation was urgent, it was difficult to have a chance to do advance reconnaissance.

The shadow was small, probably not a person. It looked about the size of a cat, but it didn't seem like a cat. It was curled up there, which reminded Xu Qinglang of a mosquito in amber.

He remembered watching the "Jurassic" series of movies, where one of them talked about scientists obtaining the conditions for cloning and reviving dinosaurs from mosquitoes that had bitten dinosaurs and were coincidentally preserved in amber.

How many years this rock wall had existed was no longer verifiable, but it was definitely not a modern product. The thing inside should have been sealed inside for many, many years.

If it was already dead,

Then everything would be fine, there would be no worries at all.

But just looking at the strangeness of this green stone,

Wanting to naively hypnotize himself to believe that thing had long since died,

It was really too difficult.

One end of the vine pierced into the green stone, constantly probing inward. Hei Xiaoniu's face, which had been pale before, now seemed to have regained some rosiness.

She breathed a sigh of relief,

One hand continued to make guiding gestures,

The other hand was able to be freed up to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"How is it?"

Xu Qinglang asked.

"The problem shouldn't be too big. The corpse poison in this stone should have been successfully infused into Boss's body, replenishing Boss's vitality, and forming a new cycle in Boss's body.

At the beginning, it was purely relying on me to guide it. With my ability, it was impossible to last too long. Now, these vines are relying on the power in Boss's body to obtain vitality, so I'm not tired."

In other words,

Next was relying on Zhou Ze and this vine,

Slowly absorbing the corpse poison,

Hei Xiaoniu only needed to be responsible for maintaining it by the side.

Xu Qinglang breathed a long sigh of relief, bit his lip, and his heart finally slowly landed.

But,

Soon,

That heart that had just landed,

Was picked up again with a "smack"!

Because Xu Qinglang was shocked to discover that the black shadow that had been deep in the green pit wall had quietly moved outwards a lot when he was just observing Zhou Ze.

Xu Qinglang took out his copper coin sword with his left hand,

Hesitated for a moment,

And still took out the talisman paper,

And began to set up an array around here,

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, even if it could only have a buffer effect at the worst of times, it was worth it.

Xu Qinglang set up a total of three arrays,

On the last array, he even used his copper coin sword as the array eye.

Because of the conflict of personal power, he couldn't use the power of the Sea God when using Taoist magic. Therefore, after putting all the other cards on the table, he stood alone behind the pit wall, using himself as the fourth line of defense.

Hei Xiaoniu looked at Xu Qinglang's back and said nothing. She had no mind to observe other things. Anyway, the tall one was holding it up. However, she was a little curious that such a long time had passed, and a terrifying amount of corpse poison had been infused into the boss's body, but the boss's body hadn't shown any obvious changes.

She only knew that he was still absorbing,

Constantly absorbing,

But there was no recovery from injuries,

Nor was there any regeneration of severed limbs,

Even,

The charred skin hadn't been improved in the slightest,

Where did so much corpse poison go?

At this time, Hei Xiaoniu really wanted to take Zhou Ze over and dissect him for research, just like she had previously studied those hard-won fertilizers and seeds. She had to study all their details thoroughly so that she could be purposeful after planting them.

But,

This was obviously a luxury.

Xu Qinglang didn't dare to look at Zhou Ze's condition, but continued to stare at the black shadow inside the pit wall. He could clearly see that the black shadow was moving outwards little by little.

The speed was very slow,

But it was always moving!

Now, although he still didn't know what this thing was,

At least he could be sure of one thing,

This thing was alive!

Xu Qinglang began to adjust his breathing.

To be honest,

He was really a little nervous.

"This time, lend me strength, the more the better."

Xu Qinglang said in a deep voice.

Every time before going into battle, he had to haggle with that Sea God across thousands of miles.

There was no reaction from the Sea God's side.

The last time he faced the heavenly lightning,

The Sea God had very unrighteously directly withdrawn all his power,

But this time,

Xu Qinglang would never allow it!

He remembered the night he sealed the Sea God's power,

Zhou Ze didn't speak to stop him, but instead helped him protect the law outside the shop door.

"This time, if you shirk again, I'll cast a curse on myself. Even if I curse myself to death, no, I can't curse myself to death. After casting the curse, I'll go do things that are harmful to nature and reason, and use human lives to pile it up!

I'll forcibly pile up a heavenly tribulation for you!"

This was a threat.

There was still no reaction from the Sea God's side,

He didn't know if it was disdain or if he was thinking.

Finally,

That black shadow had infinitely approached the rock wall,

Xu Qinglang squatted down slightly,

Preparing himself.

"Crack…………"

The rock wall began to crack,

Afterward,

A wisp of purple mist rose from within.

Immediately afterward,

A furry little meat paw protruded from within,

There were many similar pictures online,

Such as the pink little meat paws of one's own pet,

Which could often make people feel like they were melting, exclaiming how cute.

The little meat paw in front of him didn't make Xu Qinglang feel the slightest bit of cuteness,

Because accompanying this little meat paw,

Was an almost substantive terrifying killing intent!

After the cute meat paw came out,

It squeezed slightly,

In an instant,

The first two of the three arrays that Xu Qinglang had set up directly collapsed!

The third array trembled for a moment,

Then the copper coin sword shattered and flew away!

"Bang!"

The cracks became bigger,

The thing inside also came out,

The speed was beyond imagination.

Xu Qinglang only had time to reach out his hands,

He only felt a terrible force coming from his chest!

"Boom!"

Xu Qinglang flew backward,

At the same time,

Layers of snake scales quickly covered his body,

A green snake-faced human figure appeared behind him,

Letting out an angry roar,

Throughout the cave,

Demonic energy began to rage wildly!

The Sea God,

This time, he no longer held back,

Truly doing his best under the premise that Xu Qinglang's physical condition could support it!

"Bang!"

Xu Qinglang crashed into the water,

His whole body rolled continuously,

When he got up again,

That black shadow reappeared,

And once again slammed into him!

The Sea God's phantom this time appeared in front of Xu Qinglang,

However,

When the black shadow rushed over,

The Sea God's phantom only resisted for a moment,

Then it was pierced by the black shadow,

The Sea God's snake face twisted over,

His eyes filled with deep shock:

"It's…………you…………"
