Chapter 1503 Human Strain (VII)

The demigod calculated the distance and found a new passage by just slightly tearing the gap.

It would be overly optimistic to understand it in this way.

In Fu Qian's judgment, he was more inclined to believe that if Echo tore a few more holes, he could find more passages.

The current situation of the two was obviously not a simple maze corridor, but more like being trapped in a pile of wet flesh and blood.

If you want to drill a hole in it, you can get as many as you want.

"It's really not optimistic."

Facing Echo who was standing and thinking, Fu Qian nodded and helped her draw a conclusion.

"...It's weirder than I thought."

And under his guidance, Echo the demigod also took a deep breath and recovered his language ability.

It seemed that she had no intention of stepping in, and it was obvious that she was not naive enough to think that she could find a secret passage by just pulling it casually.

"It seems that we are trapped in this long way... We should try to go outside."

"Don't be so optimistic."

Facing Echo's regret for the action strategy, Fu Qian waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to blame himself.

"I think even if we go outside, it's just a different way of going on the long road."

...

"So what do you think we should do next?"

The guidance from expert Fu never needs a second sentence.

The overly cold reality in the description successfully made Eco silent for a while, and even couldn't help but want to see what he had to say next.

"The sound of crying is getting louder, and the perception is being suppressed."

Faced with the test, Fu Qian naturally took the lead and listed the current problems.

"And the changes in your arm seem to be understood as being eroded by this place. It is obviously quite dangerous to continue staying here."

"That makes sense, but this raises a question, why are you not eroded--"

Eco's questioning stopped abruptly, looking at the other party's right hand.

On the index and middle fingers, the strange dark green seemed to be seeping out from under the skin, forming a sharp contrast with other places.

"This is the part that was broken into pieces and grew again."

Fu Qian explained casually, but he was very calm about such a scene.

"Starting from the weak part of the body, changing silently is still in line with my perception of some dark forces."

"You seem very experienced..."

Eco seemed to have no idea what to say for a moment, and praised without much emotion.

"Slightly."

Fu Qian was polite.

This is not a random remark. The invasion from Araqir not long ago almost completely followed the same principle.

"Very good... then?"

Eco obviously didn't intend to dwell on this topic.

"Then in this countdown situation, we can't even confirm what will happen if we continue to walk."

"Indeed."

"In comparison, there is a direction that is more certain."

Fu Qian changed the subject and pointed behind him.

"...Are you saying that we should return the same way?"

Instantly realizing what he meant, Eco frowned.

"It's hard to say that the way we came must not have changed, but from the current situation, as long as we don't take the initiative to open up a new route, at least it looks normal on the surface."

Fu Qian nodded.

"So if you choose a route that has already been taken, the chance of getting out should be greater... But it's not us, it's you."

...

"What do you mean? Where are you going?"

The final turn was too shocking, and Eco was obviously surprised.

"Of course I continued."

Fu Qian gestured to the road ahead as if it was a matter of course.

"You talked very well, but in the end you didn't adopt it, right?"

With a cold smile, Eco seemed very curious about Fu Qian's explanation.

"Just now you asked me, so of course I analyzed your situation."

Fu Qian didn't seem to think anything was wrong.

"It will be slightly different for my words."

"What's the difference?"

"I'm too weak."

...

Eco didn't say anything, but Fu Qian pointed at his face and talked freely.

"Considering the difference in strength, you may have room for detours, but for me, a one-shot move may be a better choice."

"Without a trump card, most of the safe strategies are slow death. I don't think I have such an opportunity... time is running out."

After explaining casually, Fu Qian didn't pay attention to Ai Ke's reaction and directly made a goodbye gesture.

"Wait."

However, after only a few steps, a vague figure had already caught up.

"I'm not sure about your real motive, but it's obvious that you don't know that much about the Night Keepers."

Ai Ke's voice was cold and firm, even faster than Fu Qian's.

"What makes you think that I will go out again?"

...

Is the effect so good? It looks like no matter what pops up later, I shouldn't need to do it myself.

Facing the demigod who was determined to climb to the top again, Fu Qian exclaimed in his heart.

Although the words just now were very stimulating, for him, it was not necessary to stimulate the demigod to continue to be a tool man.

As for the purpose of wasting time talking nonsense——

"What exactly are the Night Keepers worried about for the newborn heir of the Lariya royal family?"

Quickly catching up with him, Fu Qian asked casually.

"Why do you ask that?"

At that moment, even Eco, who had just done some ideological preparation, seemed to hesitate.

"The fact that the dignified Night Guardian demigod has come here can be understood as the former royal family still has some face, but your resentment for not seeing the child for a long time seems to be a bit big."

Fu Qian, however, hurried on his way without looking sideways.

"So much so that I have to doubt the main purpose of your attendance at this banquet."

"What kind of risks might the new heir of this ancient bloodline with a small population contain? So that the Night Guardian needs to monitor it a little?"

"I suddenly feel that... you need to go back with me after the matter is completed."

After the longest silence so far, Eco finally spoke slowly.

"Thank you for your good words."

"... Do you know why the Larria royal family calls their bloodline the gods?"

After some politeness, the demigod Eco finally acquiesced to Fu Qian's guess and decided to share a secret that had been concealed to help deal with the current predicament.

"Isn't it divinely granted? If you want to rule a region, it seems better to have such a statement."

"Indeed, but there are many such families, but only this one can be called a god."

Opening another door in front of him, Eco sighed.

"In addition to being powerful, the high-level extraordinary people belonging to this family in history have another common feature, that is, there is no promotion process, as if at a certain moment the gods were directly reincarnated into him and chose him to be the king." (End of this chapter)
