Chapter 871: Not so Lucky

When he came to his senses, Joseph found himself lying in the holy coffin.

He endured the strong dizziness and tearing feeling and propped up his body.

The holy coffin is a special ability of the feathered people. It can set a specific location and resurrect from that place after death. If the holy coffin is not set, it will be resurrected from a random area in the time stop zone.

The so-called holy coffin is actually a space mark made by the feathered people with light wings.

The light wings that look like wings are actually the embodiment of the power of the feathered people. Both the holy coffin and the feathered molt are woven with light wings.

Joseph pushed away the black matter buried nearby and saw two holy coffins side by side glowing - only when the feathered people return to the holy coffin will they show their form.

In other words, they are dead too.

[Guerrilla Army] was wiped out again.

Joseph rubbed his forehead with his hand and recalled what happened before.

They drifted to a large hole with the black matter, and then their memories were disconnected.

Death will cause related memory loss, and may also cause the loss and peeling of other memories. If you die too many times, you will lose the past and gradually forget everything.

I don't know who killed me, but I think it was a powerful ruler.

None of the three escaped, and they were all killed on the spot by the feathered man.

The gap between the feathered people is also huge.

It is difficult for a feathered man to fight against a duke, and he will definitely die if he faces a monarch.

Breaking into the territory of a strong man - no matter what the reason, this is the result that the feathered man will face.

"Life and death are impermanent, and things in the world are unpredictable."

The Unconscious interrupted his thoughts.

Joseph looked to the side.

The silver monk had left the holy coffin, and another death container composed of light streams disappeared.

"Brother, a walk of a hundred steps is only halfway through. It seems that we have to start walking again." There seemed to be some compassion in the one eye of the Unawakened: "Perhaps this is also a revelation."

"Master, tell me."

"I think we might as well change direction."

The Unawakened put his hands together: "Before, we were looking for people with lofty ideals everywhere, gathering strength and expanding our voice. Now that we have been paid attention to by all parties, it is difficult to walk. We might as well stop for now and enter the divine realm to make plans there."

Joseph thought for a while: "Master, you are right. I will ask the Rat Beard Master for his opinion later."

He was not worried that the Unawakened was testing.

This feathered monk had no desire for power. He was very similar to the Yao monks in the abyss. They were all trying to understand the operation of the world and the meaning of all things through thinking and observation.

It's just that what the Unawakened observed and thought about was the phenomenon of time stopping.

Before it joined the group, it was Joseph who suggested to it: "Master, if you stay here all the time, it may be difficult to see the full picture of the time stop zone. If you want to understand a stone, it is best to use another stone for reference and comparison. The peculiarity of time stop is because there is a time phenomenon as a reference."

"If you want to confirm the principle and meaning of time stop, the answer may be in the divine realm on the other side."

The knowledge of Yao civilization that Joseph has accumulated and the experience of long-term front-line research work showed its power at this time.

His long-term and unremitting lobbying and verification through various thought experiments finally got the affirmation and recognition of the unawakened, and then persuaded it to go together.

Joseph looked at the only remaining holy coffin, the door of the coffin was still closed, and the person inside still did not come out.

He had to knock on the door of the coffin.

"Are you okay?"

A weak voice came from the holy coffin: "I'll take a break..."

Joseph could only wait.

The feathered people have immortal bodies, but death will cause some memory damage. Normally, the feathered people also hate death, and death represents the loss of self.

The aftereffects of the death of the Ratbeard were particularly severe.

He was originally a member of the [Golden Slut] tribe, obeying the curse of the duke [Slut Lord] and spent a long period of peace and tranquility.

One day, white fire rose from [Slut Lord] without any warning and burned it to ashes.

Without the leader of the feathered people, the entire tribe fell into panic and helplessness. After the building collapsed, the people living inside had nowhere to go.

Misfortunes never come alone. Soon after, a black mass torrent swept through the hole where the Golden Slut lived.

Ratbeard was buried in the black mass mud flow with most of his fellow tribesmen. If there were no concentrated excavation by a large number of curse insects, they would be constantly squeezed and buried deep in the internal movement of the black mass until they became part of the black mass.

However, Ratbeard did not die.

After waking up, he found that he had completed his feathering and had white light wings on his back.

Ratbeard thought of the legend of white fire.

——The white fire will ignite the winged man and engulf him, but after a period of time, the winged man will reappear, but at this time the winged man will be very weak and will almost forget everything about himself. Just like the past part is dead...

I can't become a winged man for no reason.

So am I dead?

In other words, the current me is no longer myself, but the former mouse lady? Or other winged men?

In this time-stop zone, are the winged men coming and going the remnant souls of the oldest monarchs?

No one can answer it.

It's just that every time I die, my self-doubt will increase, and my despair for the world will deepen.

It is said that when I reach the monarch stage, the winged man will be able to strip off his own memory for storage.

Mousebeard wants to become the monarch of the Golden Mouse Lady clan. Only in this way can he be himself and take the future into his hands.

Joseph told it: "If you want to become stronger, you can't do it without resources. As far as I know, only a large number of curse tribes and curse insects can accumulate and transform into a new monarch."

"The opportunity is not in the time-stop zone. This is not a place for newcomers to stand out. The opportunity is outside. There are many curse insect tribes growing freely in the divine realm. They are a disaster that needs to be eliminated by the gods, but they are important helpers for us."

"Do you want to give it a try?"

After thinking about it, the rat whiskers decided to give it a try.

Because it has similar ideas, but lacks a clear plan and has no actual travel experience in the outside world.

Joseph came from the feathered ascension, but he knows the divine realm very well.

...

After the rat whiskers left the holy coffin, the three wandering feathered warriors discussed and decided to find a safe passage to enter the divine realm first. These stable passages formed by the curling of Leviathan are basically under the control of the monarchs.

Free travel between the two realms is the privilege of the monarch.

In the end, they mustered up the courage to visit the rumored [Feather Record of the Gods] Amel.

Amel is a peculiar monarch. He has been studying the divine domain for a long time, knows the titles of all gods in the world, and controls extremely stable channels.

[Guerrilla Army] trudged along the way, tracking the breath of the spell everywhere, and finally came to the border of Amel's territory.

They were received by the monarch.

Amel prohibited them from entering, but also gave them an opportunity.

"There is a large Leviathan near a channel outside. Bring it to me and I will open the channel for you."

The three feathered warriors had to start searching for traces of Leviathan.

It is difficult to find a Leviathan because they are always moving and are very wary of feathered people. However, Amel also made arrangements. It arranged many spell insects as bait to attract Leviathan to take the bait.

Leviathan, a creature that can swim between the time-stop zone and the divine domain, has certain spatial attributes.

They usually devour worlds in the divine domain, usually the prey is the world where life gathers, and then they return to the time-stop zone to spit out their offspring by splitting. During this period, they are also vulnerable. Not only are they difficult to move, but their abilities are also fragile, so they usually hide.

The larvae will slowly take shape under the protection of the previous generation of Leviathan, and then the adult will take it to the divine realm, find a world for it to coil around, and then start the next generation of independent life.

Leviathan appeared and did not leave, it is very likely that it is hatching larvae.

Curse worms are a delicious food for Leviathan, but it is difficult to obtain them due to the existence of powerful feathered people.

Joseph and the other two watched patiently, and finally found something unusual one day.

A large number of curse worms disappeared in the distance!

They rushed all the way.

Then they saw an amazing scene: a Leviathan with an amazing size and power radiating from its body was eating a small Leviathan.

One third of the small Leviathan had been eaten. It protected a white hydra-like life, desperately unfolding its whole body to build a [twisted vortex], trying to suck the predator into it.

But the strength of the predator exceeded its ability, and it bit and chewed without any scruples.

This scene of cannibalism made Joseph stunned.

"It's not Leviathan... It's Behemoth." Mousebeard said in a deep voice.

Behemoth and Leviathan have the same ancestors in the time-stop zone.

But as life continued to evolve, Leviathan mastered the power of shuttling through the void, thus evolving itself into a flexible and fast form, able to obtain vast and abundant prey in the divine realm.

Behemoth took another path, and this branch of them became particularly cunning and fierce, constantly expanding their own power. They hunt almost all life in the time-stop zone, and it is not new for Behemoth to attack the Winged Monarch.

They usually swim in the black matter, open their mouths wide to swallow a large amount of black matter, digest the curse insects and curse tribes buried deep in it, and then excrete the black matter out of the body, like a whale.

Sometimes they will hit the black matter, disguised as signs of black matter surges and eruptions to scare the curse insects, so that they can concentrate these foods and feast on them.

In the eyes of Behemoth, Leviathan is also food.

Ratbeard was annoyed: "Leviathan was eaten, we are afraid we won't get paid if we explain this."

Joseph was ruthless: "At least we have to give it a try! I'll lead this Behemoth away, you try to rescue the young one, the young Leviathan is also Leviathan!"

After that, Joseph opened the wings on his back and rushed into the battlefield as a ball of strong light.

...

Joseph woke up from the holy coffin and felt a splitting headache.

He remembered that he seemed to have encountered Leviathan, as if he had led the monster away alone.

Joseph suddenly found that Ratbeard and the Unaware also stood up in the two holy coffins next to him.

"Why did you die too?"

Ratbeard had a numb face: "Thanks to you, we angered the Behemoth and we were all killed."

Joseph smiled awkwardly: "It seems that our luck is not very good."

The Unaware said: "Look, everyone."

A vortex slowly emerged in front of him, and Leviathan's body covered with flowing diamond-shaped armor plates appeared in it.

The Leviathan vortex slowly expanded.

A voice came from inside.

"Thank you... I'll give it to you..."

There was a sleeping white larva next to the vortex, floating slowly in the vortex.

The vortex became thinner and thinner.

Leviathan was dying.

Joseph knew he couldn’t wait any longer, so he said, “I’ll go explore the way first.”

He grabbed the Leviathan cub and jumped into the vortex channel.
