648 Golden Crow Swallows the Sun (3)
“You cannot be blasphemed.”
“Therefore… I still need some life to make the activity of this flesh match the status of the great god chosen by the heavens.”
The god’s finger emitted a buzzing sound, as though It was a little frustrated. Some of the wounds on Its body cracked under the shaking.
However, It didn’t care at all. After circling the sky a few times, it suddenly disappeared amidst the distortion and blurriness in the surroundings.
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and various thoughts raced in his mind. He realized that his current state was a life-and-death crisis but it was also a huge opportunity.
He could sense that the Golden Crow totemic tattoo on his back was constantly heating up, revealing intense desire. However, it was firmly suppressed by Xu Qing, not allowing its aura to spread out at all.
It wasn’t time yet.
Seeing the conversation between the old man from the Painting Race and the god’s finger, Xu Qing’s first feeling was that the state of this god’s finger was a little off…
“Its mind appears to be clouded?”
Xu Qing quickly analyzed. After that, he placed himself in the shoes of the old man from the Painting Race and used the other party’s perspective to tackle this issue.
“Head, why are you here too? Did you not hide well and was found by the Lord Guardian?” After the god’s finger left, the old man from the Painting Race heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the head that only had its face exposed and walked over to pat it.
“Why should I answer you? If you have the ability, kill me. We’re all from the same cell. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” The old man didn’t look angry. He smiled and raised his hand, slapping it ruthlessly.
The head shattered loudly.
The old man from the Painting Race squatted there with his smile unchanged. He turned his head and looked at Xu Qing, his eyes revealing deep meaning.
“Lord Guardian, you didn’t finish just now. How did I make a contribution?”
“Let me think. Lord Guardian, don’t tell me you’re trying to tell me that you let yourself be captured by the god and that you aren’t alone. There are many experts from Fenghai County in the Morning Glow Province, such as the Palace Master, Marquis Yao, and Deputy Governor. Their goal is to capture the god’s finger?”
“You let yourself be captured to be the coordinates, so those big shots have already sensed this place. You said that I made a contribution because I stalled the god’s finger and bought you precious time to find this place?”
“But, Lord Guardian, I’m not a three-year-old child. Do you think I’ll believe these words?” The old man licked his lips. As his eyes revealed hostility, he took out the flesh and other matters that had splashed out after the head was shattered.
Very soon, the head revived. Just as it was about to curse, the old man smiled and spoke.
“Head, we’re all on the same side. I killed you to save you. Stop fooling around. Also, thank you for helping me get the Lord Guardian. You’re right. Our D132 are about to reunite.”
The head sneered and its eyes revealed mockery. It didn’t accept or deny it but rolled around to find the stone lion.
The old man didn’t bother with the head. He came to Xu Qing’s side and squatted down, licking his lips.
Xu Qing didn’t care about the old man. He expressionlessly swept his gaze across the surroundings and sensed that there was a restriction power here that prevented him from escaping.
This restriction was set up by the god’s finger and was very difficult to break.
After checking, Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the painting old man and he calmly spoke.
“You don’t have to probe like this. If you want to survive, hurry up and tell me the entire situation.”
The old man raised his brows.
The head in the distance laughed mockingly as it searched for the stone lion.
“Old man, you’re usually so shrewd. Why are you so stupid now? We’re all f*cking reunited here. Either you finish drawing the body for the finger and we’ll be killed together, or we quickly think of a way to survive. Why are you still probing here? What a waste of time. Aren’t you tired?”
The words of the head caused the painting old man to sigh inwardly. In reality, this was indeed what he was worried about. His body was marked and he couldn’t escape. There were also restrictions in the surroundings. He really wanted his probing words to be true…
However, he knew that this was impossible. Even if Xu Qing admitted it, he would feel that he had been deceived. Hence, he sighed amidst his complicated and conflicted mentality.
“What can you do? Everyone is going to die…”
“Step back!” Xu Qing suddenly spoke.
The painting old man looked at Xu Qing and was about to speak, but Xu Qing ignored him. Xu Qing had already verified his thoughts through the conversation between the other party and the god’s finger earlier.
A drowning person would grab even a straw to save themselves. However, this straw had to be realistic and couldn’t be too perfunctory.
The timing was about right now. Xu Qing’s memories of D132 had recovered to a great extent after the collapse of the Prison Department. He was very sure that he had never used the power of the Golden Crow in D132.
He mainly used the god’s authorities.
Hence, this old man didn’t know that he had the Golden Crow.
Moreover, they were in a hurry when they broke out of prison, so it was impossible for them to gather information about him. With the strangeness of the head, although it might know, there was a high chance that this painting old man didn’t know.
However, this wasn’t important.
If he didn’t know, the effect would naturally be the best. However, even if he knew, Xu Qing had other ways to deal with it.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing no longer suppressed the Golden Crow. In an instant, fiery power erupted completely and the Golden Crow flew to the flesh of the sun’s corpse.
