NOVEL WEB Chapter 229 Leaving! Major Update!
But at this moment,
Nearly five hours had passed since Su Qi and the others left the Rainbow Bridge!
Yet he still couldn't manage to successfully leave the instance.
"Brother Huang!"
"I don't need your calls!" The Yellow Robed Priest burned his Soul Power like mad, fully utilizing his Special Ability!
Breaking through the constraints of space,
Creating another moment for Brother Cat and the others to break free.
The surrounding Audience members were also all accommodated inside Patrick's belly, which had its own self-contained space.
And the reason they needed to flee now…
Was because those densely packed, terrifying Monsters were still relentlessly pursuing them, their horror lay in the fact that... they would keep hunting their target, to the ends of the earth! And they could even ignore restrictions!
About ten minutes after losing sight of them, they would automatically appear in the blind spots of their rear vision and pounce together once more.
"....Damn, this is ridiculous!"
The Yellow Robed Priest cursed: "To be able to escape from countless forces, and even High Sequence, only to be chased like this by a bunch of Monsters!"
They had now appeared in a new, unfamiliar world.
But as soon as ten minutes were up,
That group of Monsters would appear again.
"Meow."
Brother Cat lay on Su Qi's shoulder and called out softly.
It was already somewhat powerless, with energy nearly depleted.
"There's a problem..."
Su Qi looked at the window before him.
[Please note, the ranked battle has ended. Players can leave after they are in a safe location.]
His plan was simple.
Those Monsters... were after him, they could traverse space, but not certain dimensions.
As long as he left the instance, stepped out of the gaming pod, they would completely lose their target.
But the problem was, if he wanted to leave.
[Warning, influenced by an unknown force, the current location is not safe, unable to leave]
No matter where they teleported to, they would get such a message.
And Su Qi also knew where the problem lay.
He looked towards the Sky Dome of the barren world.
Although he couldn't see anything,
But there was a dark red [!] that was frantically flashing!
This time's [!] was more than ten times denser than during the previous Destruction countdown, not merely dark red but with a deep, dark black!
The entire Deep Space felt faintly dyed with the dark color.
"It seems the highest level of exclamation marks is not indicated by red, but there is an even higher level of black…."
Even just looking at it, Su Qi could sense the… danger contained within.
And the information above was simple.
[Ominous]
Since the moment he gained notoriety (infamy), this dark red exclamation mark had always appeared, quite peculiar....
No matter where they teleported,
This dark red exclamation mark would closely follow, as if it had locked onto him.
"Brother Huang, do you know what Ominous is?"
The Yellow Robed Priest: "?"
"I feel like being next to you, everything is Ominous."
Su Qi said calmly, "Although I know you are speaking against your will, I'm not talking about that…."
The Yellow Robed Priest was just about to declare his complete sincerity.
But Su Qi did not give him the chance.
He spoke solemnly, "The Ominous I'm referring to… is the kind that follows you, no matter what, you can't shake it off, filled with an impenetrable sense of Ominous…"
"It has no shape."
"Impossible to detect…"
Of course, that's if there are no exclamation marks.
The Yellow Robed Priest was momentarily stunned: "This kind…."
It had a strange expression as if rummaging through memories and knowledge, then after a bit of contemplation spoke softly,
"I've heard rumors… that some High Sequence, even Demigods, have been afflicted with some terrible Ominous and died in a very grim way."
"But... they're all unverified rumors."
"Uncertain of the truth, why do you ask?"
At this moment,
A slow voice resonated, "Because he, has been tainted by Ominous."
Su Qi was slightly startled and looked behind.
The Yellow Robed Priest's soul trembled, warily looking at the man in front of him dressed in a tailcoat. His aura had not been retracted, faintly exuding a terrifying presence that made it shudder, seemingly just after an astonishing battle.
It always felt that the man was somewhat familiar, the unease in its heart wouldn't lie to it, it asked with a trembling voice: "May I ask who this gentleman is...?"
The Traveling Merchant slowly removed his hat, maintaining etiquette like a gentleman, and smiled lightly, "Let the one you are sheltering introduce me."
Su Qi looked at him, "You are?"
The Traveling Merchant: "..."
"Just a joke." Su Qi, "I have a bad memory, mainly because you changed shoes, I almost didn't recognize you."
Su Qi revealed a faint smile, he now knew that there was a turn of fortune: "Let me introduce, this is the Traveling Merchant... a reputable merchant who focuses on traveling the Ten Thousand Realms, trading with different people."
"Additionally," Su Qi looked at the Soul Fire in the ring,
"And this is Brother Huang, it is a relic of the ancient times, once a Priest."
Su Qi added, "Be a bit more courteous when you talk to it, Brother Huang is no ordinary person."
The Yellow Robed Priest: "????"
Damn it!
You're pushing me into the Fire Pit, aren't you!
"This gentleman... don't listen to his rudeness..."
"I can see…." The Traveling Merchant glanced at him and spoke gently, "Your soul is somewhat special, with an extraordinary aura, in ancient times you must have had a brilliant past."
The Yellow Robed Priest's pupils contracted, feeling as if it had been seen through, wondering just what kind of existence stood before him.
And moreover,
Su Buxian actually knew such a high-level person?
"Su Buxian…"
