Chapter 346 Acting on Behalf of the God of Death

Outside Skull Mountain.

Three figures walked through the grass one after another and quickly approached the foot of the mountain.

"This guy is really rich..."

Mu You looked at the fleeing Z-world walker in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.

Just now, he and Shadow Wolf had tortured this guy in various ways, but this guy was like a treasure chest connected to Doraemon. Whenever they were about to subdue him, he would always throw out some inexplicable tricks. Toys include but are not limited to scrolls, potions, props, and occasionally summoned creatures.

Although they are basically disposable props, they are not weak in power, and many of them have control effects. Mu You and Shadow Wolf occasionally have to stop to avoid the edge.

In addition, the two of them had to watch over each other at all times to prevent the other from doing something that could easily lead to suicide, such as flying hundreds of meters into the air and being strangled by the air currents in the space. Therefore, they had to be on guard at all times, which led to a chase and a fight. Fighting, we have been here, but we haven't found a chance to subdue the opponent.

Just when the three of them arrived a few hundred meters in front of Skeleton Mountain, they saw the clouds and mist in front of them suddenly rolling, and there was a faint crashing sound from the mist. It was obvious that someone was approaching them.

Z World Walker's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found his savior, he hurriedly threw a scroll backwards, and then quickly ran forward amidst the violent magnetic storm.

"Hongxiu, it must be Hongxiu, it must be Hongxiu..."

Worldwalker Z seemed to be chanting a prayer.

Before reaching the fog layer, the figure in the fog just broke out of the fog.

The person who came was wearing a familiar red robe. Although I don’t know why half of his face was tied with a piece of coarse cloth on his head, it was obviously Hong Xiu!

The Z-level traveler was immediately overjoyed.

Sure enough, it was Hong Xiu who got the inheritance. Now at least he had a chance to fight back!

However, before he could ask for help, he saw Hong Xiu running toward him in a panic. As soon as he saw him, he immediately shouted: "Brother Nan, run!"

"Um?"

Z Realm Walker was stunned. He really didn't expect that Hongxiu's first words were to tell him to run away... Could it be that she didn't get the Death inheritance?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a deep roar coming from behind, and then the ground began to tremble, like some kind of prehistoric beast coming out of the fog.

Soon, a huge figure appeared from the fog: a skeleton giant nearly twenty meters tall, using the blue energy as 'flesh and blood', they jointly built a giant body, holding a sickle, and pointed directly at the two of them. Come quickly.

Z World Walker immediately understood what was going on: Hongxiu really failed to get the inheritance, or in other words, she only got a small part. He had already noticed the giant's missing left arm.

"...Xiaoxue?"

Mu You and Shadow Wolf also arrived nearby at this time, looking at the giant figure in the distance with some shock.

The person wrapped in the center of the giant at this time was obviously Lin Xue, but when Mu You saw Lin Xue's appearance clearly, he immediately noticed something strange.

"What's wrong with her eyes?"

"Hongxiu, quickly, kill me!"

On the other side, Z World Walker, after confirming the current situation, hurriedly looked at Hong Xiu and quickly made this request.

Not even getting the Death God inheritance, now there is no possibility for them to fight head-on. The only hope is to let him regain the ability to stop time, so that they can have a chance to escape intact.

"What?"

Hong Xiu was still a little confused about the situation, and was confused when she suddenly heard this request.

"Kill me, don't you understand this?"

Z Realm Walker really hates iron at this moment and wants to explain clearly as quickly as possible, but there is no time.

As a strong pressure swept over them, the giant in front had already raised the sickle in his hand and slashed towards their position.

"Brother Nan, run!"

Hong Xiu subconsciously pushed the Z World Walker away, and then hurriedly raised his arm. The shadow of the giant arm quickly appeared on his arm, and collided with the giant hand attacking from above.

Although the two giant arms were separated from the same body, the difference in size was huge after all. When the two collided, it was like an egg striking a stone. The giant remained motionless, while Hongxiu was blown away far away.

When Mu You and Shadow Wolf saw the fight, they immediately wanted to go over to help, but were stopped by Vivian.

"She is not stable yet. You will only influence her in the past and let her do it on her own."

The two looked at each other and had to stop again.

On the other side, when Z Realm Walker got up from the ground, he suddenly felt a strong pressure covering his body, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Turning his head mechanically, he saw that the giant's eyes had indeed been completely locked on him, and he was walking towards him step by step.

"Oops……"

Alarm bells rang loudly in Z Realm Walker's heart. He was not afraid of death now. He was not afraid of ordinary things no matter how strong they were.

However, the Death God inheritance is not in the category of 'ordinary', because this thing can directly harvest souls...

Once the soul dies, he will have no chance to be resurrected, let alone regain the ability to stop time.

Z World Walker hurriedly took out all the offensive props he could find on his body and threw them backwards. Then he turned around and fled quickly without looking at anything else.

A series of bombing sounds continued from behind, but these props hit the skeleton giant, just like tickling it, causing no shock or stopping it even for a second.

The z-world walker listened to the footsteps behind him getting farther and farther away, and immediately knew that the other party had not yet fully mastered the use of the inheritance of the God of Death, and the speed was much slower than expected. This was an opportunity!

However, just when he was fantasizing that he could use the speed difference to escape, a dull bell suddenly rang.

This bell sounded like it came from the horizon, and it seemed to explode directly in his ears. With one sound, he was dizzy and bleeding, and his feet were like being stuck in a quagmire, swaying and extremely difficult to move.

What was even more terrifying was that at this time, arms and human figures continued to emerge from the ground around him, like evil spirits from hell, rushing towards him fiercely, rushing towards his body and limbs, biting and holding him tightly.

"Get out of my way!"

The z-world walker used all his limbs and struggled desperately, but it was useless. Every time he kicked one away, more ghost servants would rush over.

The z-world walker was entangled in the same place until he could not move.

Behind him, the footsteps of the giant were slowly approaching. The Z World Walker looked back in shock. The giant skeleton was indeed coming towards him, but what he was holding in his hand was not a sickle, but the shadow of an ancient bell.

Others did not know what the bell sounded, but Mu You saw some clues through the omniscient crystal.

[Evil-suppressing Death Bell: One of the props used by the legendary death god when hunting targets. When used on a target, it will have different suppressing effects according to the target's "evil value", and the effect will be stronger for the more evil people. It can be rung at most once a day. ]

A death bell, judging from the description, should be a prop of the same level as the death god's sickle, but this prop cannot be used to attack, but can only be used to suppress, and the scope of use is also limited, special attack against evil, that is, it is specifically used to deal with those who have done many evils.

For example, the Z World Walker in front of him, obviously did countless evils in normal times.

At this moment, the ghost servants around him, each of them is the embodiment of the people he had killed, which directly suppressed him to the point where he could not resist at all.

At this time, the Z World Walker could only watch in despair as the Death Giant walked up to him step by step, raised his sickle, and passed over his head.

A dark blue soul was immediately taken out of his body, and was pulled by the tip of the knife and sent into the mouth of the Death.

The Death Giant stretched the soul like eating rice cakes, swallowing and chewing it bit by bit.

Until the soul of the Z World Walker formed a very thin "noodle" and could no longer be pulled out, the Death raised the sickle again, cut through the root of the soul, and completely cut off the soul.

The moment the soul was broken, the ghost servants around the Z World Walker immediately disappeared without a trace, and the empty shell of the Z World Walker was blown away by the airflow raised by the giant's movement, flying away like a kite with a broken string. In the air, all kinds of objects fell down like rain, until the Z World Walker completely fell to the ground and stopped.

And because the body of the Z World Walker had lost its soul, the body began to decay and wither at a speed visible to the naked eye as soon as it landed.

But at this moment, Hong Xiu, who had just been smashed away, suddenly teleported and appeared next to the body of the Z World Walker. She used the giant hand on her right arm in a panic to wrap the body of the Z World Walker in energy, which stopped the body from decaying, leaving at least a complete body.

Mu You didn't have time to take care of her, but looked at the other side, where Lin Xue was, with some strangeness.

Just after the Death Shadow swallowed the soul of the Z World Walker, he began to chew, but he couldn't swallow it after chewing for a long time.

This situation is a bit strange. Before, the Death God swallowed the soul, whether it was the snow monster or the white-clothed man, and they were digested quickly. Is the soul of this Z World Walker so hard to chew?

Just when Mu You was puzzled, the Death Shadow's neck squirmed and finally swallowed the soul, but there was still something left in his mouth, which was the culprit that made it unable to swallow.

After trying to chew for a few seconds, it seemed that it felt too hard on the teeth, and the Death Shadow finally gave up and spit out a small thing like spitting out a peach pit.

Mu You's eyes lit up. He didn't know what it was, but something that could make the Death God's teeth ache must not be an ordinary thing. He immediately swung out his chain claws and hooked it before the thing fell to the ground.

The thing was cold in his hand.

Mu You picked it up and found that it was a thumb-sized hollow cube, but all the beams on the surface were covered with cracks, and it looked shaky. Inside the cube, there was an even smaller crystal fragment inlaid.

Mu You had never seen this thing before, and instinctively wanted to use the All-Knowing Crystal to check it.

As a result, the All-Knowing Crystal did not feedback any results!

Mu You had to put it away first and looked up to the front.

On Lin Xue's side, after the Death God's phantom devoured the soul of the Z World Walker, it continued to walk towards Hong Xiu's direction. Its harvesting action was not over yet.

Hong Xiu saw the Death God giant approaching quickly, but she did not react. She still knelt on the ground and protected her husband's body with her arms.

It was not until the giant stopped in front of her that Hong Xiu looked up.

Staring at Lin Xue hidden in the giant's body, Hong Xiu's eyes were filled with a hint of resentment, but more of numbness.

After she was disfigured and her husband died in front of her, she was already disheartened.

So much so that when she faced the fist raised by the Death Giant, she did not struggle at all, but closed her eyes, as if she was ready to face death.

Death is ruthless and will not show any sympathy. The giant fist continues to hit hard.

However, just as the giant fist was about to hit, Mu You suddenly felt a strange wave. The fist froze in the air and did not move. Not only that, everything around him, the grass and trees on the ground, the dust in the air, and the energy of the death god that was originally rippling like waves, all froze at this moment.

"This is..."

Mu You was shocked. Could this effect be time stopping?

Mu You didn't know who started the time stop this time. The question was, after time stopped, he was still conscious?

Not only conscious, he even felt that his body could move freely!

Just when he wanted to try to take a step forward, Vivian's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Don't move! Hold your breath and try to slow down your heartbeat."

Mu You was stunned and quickly stopped his feet and did as she said.

At the same time, he suddenly saw Hong Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground in the distance, seemed to move, but it was not her body that was moving, but her stomach that was moving.

At some point, something suddenly tore a hole in her bulging belly from the inside, and then two small hands came out, stretching the hole, and a small head covered with mucus poked out of the hole.

The face of the seven-month-old baby has not even been fully formed, but soon after it appeared, the baby's face changed rapidly, and finally condensed into an old face and opened its eyes.

After the baby's head appeared, the originally still Hongxiu suddenly moved, but it was not a normal stand-up, but like an unconscious zombie, it stood up from the ground section by section until it stood up, then bent down and dragged the body of the Z world walker on the ground, turned around, walked away with the steps of a zombie.

Not far in front of her, an oval-shaped transmission port had appeared at some point.

At this time, Vivian did not say to take action, and Mu You did not dare to move, and could only watch the two people step into the transmission port until they disappeared.

And just a few seconds after they disappeared, Mu You saw two floating shadows suddenly appear out of thin air at the place where Hongxiu had just stopped.

Some familiar upper body humanoid, lower body smoke shape, holding a knife and fork and a giant axe.

After one of them appeared, it rushed straight to the portal that had not disappeared.

The other one turned around and looked around, scanning the people present one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, it followed the footsteps of the previous one, sank into the portal, and disappeared.

As the two strange creatures left, the portal in the distance automatically shrank and disappeared, and the time around quietly resumed its flow.

"Boom!"

The fist of the giant in the distance smashed down, and naturally nothing was hit.

Mu You didn't have time to ask Vivian in detail, because after the time stop ended, the phantom of the god of death on Lin Xue's body quickly faded and disappeared.

Lin Xue looked at them, as if she wanted to come over, but just after taking two steps, she didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground, no longer moving.

Mu You and Shadow Wolf hurried over, helped her up, and checked her.

Fortunately, she looked like she just fainted from exhaustion, and there were no wounds on her body.

However, in the all-knowing crystal, Mu You saw that Lin Xue's attributes at this time, except for agility, which was still in double digits, all other attributes had dropped to the lowest point, and after her name, there was a label of "weak state".

"What happened just now? Why did the time stop suddenly start, and why do I seem to be immune to the time stop?"

After confirming that Lin Xue was fine, Mu You had time to ask about the situation just now.

"You are immune to the time stop because of what you just got." Vivian said.

"What are you talking about?"

Mu You hurriedly took out the hollow cube just now, but when he took it out, he found that there seemed to be more cracks on the surface of the cube.

"This shell is called 'time sensor', which is a prop specially used for immunity to time stop." Vivian said.

"So as long as I hold this, if there is someone who stops time in the future, I will follow and enter the time stop no matter where I am?" Mu You asked.

"Of course it's not that powerful. It's just a passive sensor. It will only be triggered if there is someone who opens the time stop or walks in the time stop near you. This is the same as me." Vivian said.

"Oh..."

Mu You understood immediately. Just like the Z World Walker, only when this guy paused time near them, Vivian could follow him into the Stop World.

Otherwise, the Z World Walker had stopped time countless times in the Star Spirit World before, wouldn't Vivian be forced to enter the Stop World every time?

It was the same just now. Only when the baby and the two strange creatures were present could he see the scene of the Stop Time. As soon as those people left, the Stop Time ended immediately.

"This sensor is already damaged. The damaged time sensor will continue to collapse with the number of times it is opened until it is completely broken. You can't use this one many times."

Vivian glanced at the thing in his hand and continued: "What is really useful to you is the thing in the sensor."

"This fragment?"

"Yes, take it out and try to merge it into your pocket watch." Vivian said.

Mu You did it immediately, holding the cube, used a floating technique, and carefully moved the fragment out of the gap bit by bit.

Then he took the pocket watch and moved the fragment closer.

When the fragment touched the surface of the pocket watch, it suddenly glowed and automatically merged into it.

Mu You hurriedly used the omniscient crystal to look at the pocket watch. At this time, the feedback information became:

[Time Pocket Watch: Press the pocket watch to go back ten seconds to the past, with a cooling time of ten seconds. 】

Mu You was surprised. Such a small piece of fragment actually doubled the function of the pocket watch!

If backtracking for five seconds becomes backtracking for ten seconds, much more operations can be completed.

Not to mention anything else, just for refining potions, the combination of the pocket watch and the Fool card can already extend a trace back to up to an hour, so that he can train some advanced potions with more complicated processes. !

"What exactly is this thing?" Mu You looked at Vivian hurriedly.

"Fragments of the Heart of Time." Vivian said.

"Where can I get the Heart of Time?" Mu You asked.

Something that could upgrade a pocket watch made him jealous.

Vivian gave him a strange look: "You don't have to think about this, unless you also want to be like the old man just now, being hunted endlessly by the time guardians."

"Old man? Time Guardian?"

Mu You was stunned.

The old man obviously refers to the strange baby that emerged from Hongxiu's belly just now, and the time guardians should be the two floating creatures just now.

It turns out that they are in a hunting relationship, so no wonder they appear one after another.

"Time guardians are regular creatures that guard the order of time. Anyone who stops time at will without permission will be hunted by them. But the old man made a bigger mistake. He directly stole the fragments of the Heart of Time, and even There may be more than one, so he will be hunted for eternity. As long as he dares to show up in any area of ​​the real world, he will immediately attract the time guardians," Vivian said.

"Wait a minute, you said that people who stop time at will will be hunted down. Then why are Z world walkers not hunted down?" Mu You asked.

If it is a crime to pause time at will, then Z Realm Walker is definitely an outlaw. Entering the Zhi Realm is like going home, and pausing is called unscrupulous. As a result, no one came to control this guy.

"I don't know about this. Maybe there is something special about him."

Vivian shook her head: "This is probably why the old man chose him for training..."
