Chapter 177: Ms. Dianhuo, I, Li Cheng, have always felt that you are still charming.

In the passage leading to where the crazy fire is, faint light flickers and hot breath surges.

Li Cheng looked at the scene around him with interest.

As the location of a hidden BOSS in the late game, Li Cheng has parkoured in this place countless times in the PC version.

It can be said that he knows the terrain here better than the guards guarding here.

At that time, the place was crowded with many small monsters contaminated by the fire, which seemed to be the guards escorting them.

Luo Tian walked beside Li Cheng with a sad face, sighing from time to time: "Damn it, I have been walking on thin ice all my life. I didn't expect that I still couldn't reach the other side."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at his side: "Brother Xius, aren't you afraid?"

Li Cheng thought about it, nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Afraid."

"I can't tell you're scared at all!"

Luo Tian complained speechlessly, secretly thinking that he had a very good attitude.

The chief guard escorting them sneered, "Haha, cherish the time you two have to bicker with each other, because soon that mouth will be unable to speak again, haha."

"Okay, we're here." He stopped and made way for a narrow passage: "Go in."

The blue inside this passage is countless times brighter than that outside.

The scalding hot breath made the people who were close to here tremble with fear.

"Is it finally here... my final destination?"

Luo Tian swallowed his saliva, feeling unwilling.

He obviously still has so many things to do, and he obviously has not seen the people he cherishes yet...

"Mother, I am an unfilial child and cannot accompany you any longer. Please - oops!"

Before Luo Tian could finish his words, he was kicked on the butt by the guard behind him and slid down the corridor.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't worry, when you die, I will treat your mother well, hehe."

The chief guard licked his lips, then looked at Li Cheng and shook the sole of his shoe: "Haha, come on, it's your turn, lie down and let my sole kiss your butt."

The several guards who followed him also burst into laughter.

Li Cheng didn't say anything, just glanced at him indifferently.

That cold, emotionless look made the chief guard's heart tremble in just a moment.

He seemed to feel that in the eyes of the man in front of him, he was neither a high-ranking official nor a hated enemy, but a... prey.

That's right, it's the kind of prey that has been caught and can't escape from the spider web no matter how hard it struggles.

A prisoner actually regards himself as prey?
It's so ridiculous...

Although the chief guard thought so in his heart, he unconsciously put down the shoe that was originally intended to kick Li Cheng on the butt.

When he came to his senses, Li Cheng had already walked down the corridor.

"Boss, why didn't you kick that brat?"

"What do you know? The boss just doesn't want to dirty his shoes."

"Oh, I see. Hahahaha!"

The guards around him were still laughing, but the chief guard frowned inexplicably.

Was he just scared?

The Chief Guard is a Killing Night Demon from the Abyss Demon Clan. Their racial talent is the ability to capture murderous aura.

The magical fluctuations on this person's body have not even reached the fourth level, but the murderous aura is thicker than that of the seventh and eighth level generals, even dozens of times thicker.

How can it be……

How many people did this guy kill...

Which monster is this who committed such a heinous crime and whose power was sealed after being caught?
Yes, this is the only possibility.

The chief guard swallowed, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled proudly.

"No matter how powerful you were before, or how high your status was, in the end, weren't you still a prisoner?"

"In the end, didn't I still push it in front of Lord Dianhuo?"

"You fool who can't recognize the situation, you deserve to die in my hands, haha."

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Several guards were puzzled.

"It has nothing to do with you. All right, everyone, get out." The chief guard smiled, "Or you will be affected by Lord Dianhuo's flames later."

He glanced at the corridor with complacency again and smacked his lips twice.

Be it that Luo Tian or this Xu Si Dahl, it is impossible for them to come back alive from Dian Huo.

At this moment, the chief guard felt extremely comfortable.

I spent a lot of money to buy this official position, and it was really a good decision.

No matter whether you are a general with great military achievements or a big boss guarding a region, when you come here, you have to kneel down obediently.
-
On the other side, Li Cheng went down along the corridor and soon arrived at the bottom of the dark place.

A few dozen meters further ahead in the palace is where the fire is.

Luo Tian rolled down one step earlier than him. At this moment, his face was bruised and swollen, and his eyes were full of resentment.

"That damn guard, he used chicken feathers as a token of authority. If I could get out, I would kill him."

He got up from the ground, wiped his face covered with dust and sweat, and looked at Li Cheng: "Xius, listen to me, I have a plan."

"Plan?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.

He discovered from the moment he arrived here that this NPC named Luo Tian talked a lot and in a very tight tone.

He smelled a hidden mission.

"Yes, a plan to escape from here." Luo Tian's eyes were firm: "My mother is still waiting for me at home. I promised her that I must go back."

Brother, you know that you are full of flags... Li Cheng had a blank expression on his face.

"I just observed that although this tunnel is slippery, it is not completely without a foothold." As Luo Tian said this, he clenched his fists and the sharp bone spurs stretched out: "With my sharp claws, I can definitely climb back to the top of the tunnel!"

"Do you want to go back up there?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

"Then why... don't you go that way?" Li Cheng raised his hand and pointed behind Luo Tian.

"Over there..." Luo Tian turned his head in confusion, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

Not far away, there was a spiral staircase with braziers on both sides, winding around to the top of the dungeon.

The end of the stairs was facing the entrance to the corridor where the two had just come down.

Obviously, this is another entrance and exit.

"The guards asked us to come down from there just to speed up the process." Li Cheng explained: "Normally, we can get in and out of here by taking that staircase."

"Hehe." Luo Tian's mouth twitched.

"Well, if you want to go up, why don't you try this staircase?"

"Um, as for the stairs..." Luo Tian looked at the bone spur on the back of his hand and nodded calmly: "Although it is still a little short of my great plan, but... it is not impossible."

Li Cheng: “…”

"No, Xius, listen to me!" Luo Tian awkwardly retracted the bone spur and said anxiously: "No matter what, this Shadow Land is well-developed, with passes and traps everywhere, and there are a large number of guards guarding the entrance."

"I can't escape by myself. If we want to survive, we must unite!"

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing."

"Once we escape, I will give you my treasured treasure!"

It’s here as expected, a hidden mission!

Li Cheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he leaned over and asked softly, "Hey, the treasure you want to give me is not that kind of... yellowed pornographic magazine, right?"

"Ah? How come, can something like that be called a treasure?"

Luo Tian frowned.

"That's good." Li Cheng felt relieved and continued walking towards the palace.

He is now afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. After the experience of Karenina's father, he is really afraid of encountering a NPC who gives him erotic magazines again.

"Hey, Brother Xius, where are you going?" Luo Tian followed him: "I haven't told you my plan yet."

"Don't you just want to go back alive? There's no need to go through so much trouble." Li Cheng glanced at him and said, "Okay, just wait here and don't move. I'll go buy some oranges."

"Buy oranges? What do you mean?"

"Anyway, you just need to stay here and prepare the treasures you are going to give me."

Li Cheng was too lazy to explain. He walked along the stone steps in front of him and entered the palace of Dianhuo.

Luo Tian stared at his back blankly, the confusion on his face did not diminish at all, but became even more intense.

After looking at it for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly flickered.

No way……

Brother Xiusi, are you trying to kill the important person living in the palace?

Is this... is this really possible? -
"No way, absolutely impossible."

Inside the palace, Dianhuo was sitting in front of the portrait of the furious father god, clenching his fists and constantly denying himself.

"Father God is not that kind of person. He will never harm my soul. It is impossible that he is the one who caused my life span to decline!"

In the past few days, I have been so upset that I feel like I am going to explode.

Since the first time her life span was deducted, there has not been a single day when her life span remained intact.

At least a few hundred years may be deducted, and at most tens of thousands of years may be deducted.

If it were just this amount, it would be fine. It would be a headache but it wouldn't cause any serious consequences.

but……

Damn, one day, 100 million years of his life were taken away at once!

That’s 100 million years!
How many hundred million years can fire last?

If he does that a few more times, his fire will return to the abyss.

The most important thing is that she couldn't find out who attacked her.

The servants around him have been replaced one after another, and even if the person who did the action was among them, he has already died by now.

Not to mention, these guys, who were called servants but were actually prisoners, had their magic powers imprisoned and sealed, and could not use any magic at all.

Even if they could use magic, they wouldn't be able to hurt themselves.

The number of lives that can harm him in the entire abyss is less than two hands.

After much thought, the only possible suspect is the Furious Father God.

And this answer is also the answer that Dianhuo cannot face.

She wanted to confront the angry father god countless times, but every time, she lost her courage at the last moment.

That’s right, Dianhuo is afraid to know the answer.

Because once she knew the answer, she would no longer be able to deceive herself.

"If you don't like it, who would lie to yourself, woo woo woo."

Dianhuo was crying, and even the flame above his neck was flickering.

Just then, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the room.

Then, a loud voice rang out.

"Hello, Ms. Dianhuo."

"who!"

The flame of Dianhuo trembled, and with a wave of her hand, she hid the portrait of the angry father god.

Her eyes followed the voice and saw a big boy with a warm smile on his face. "Are you the new servant? Haha, you are lucky today. My life span has not been reduced." Dianhuo snorted, turned sideways seductively, held his "fireball head" with his palm, and yawned.

Who else could that sunny boy be other than Li Cheng?
To be honest, Li Cheng is feeling quite fresh right now.

In the PC version, when he came to kill Dianhuo, Dianhuo had completely turned into a BOSS state, a monster without human form, completely like an elemental body.

And now the fire is raging...

Although there was a veil between us, our skin couldn't be seen clearly.

But just looking at the shadow swaying in the firelight, it is graceful and juicy, evenly fat and thin, with peaks and troughs, up and down.

It can be said that the charm still remains.

Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking?" Lilith shouted at the side: "Beyond the curtain, there are enemies, enemies! Dragon Enterer, don't be too rebellious!"

Li Cheng ignored her and walked closer to the curtain.

"Back off, I'm a little tired."

Dianhuo turned his back to Li Cheng and waved his hand.

After all, her strength was close to that of a demigod, and she could perceive every move of Li Cheng.

"Ms. Dianhuo, I heard that you have been troubled recently."

Li Cheng stopped less than one meter away from the curtain and spoke softly.

"Oh?"

Dianhuo uttered a light sigh but did not turn around.

These days, although there were few servants like Li Cheng who approached him and tried to please him, they did exist.

Dianhuo knew very well that these servants came to amuse him in order to curry favor with him.

She did not reject such behavior of her subordinates.

Unfortunately, these idiots have no idea what they are worried about.

Therefore, all that awaits them is to be burned by their own flames.

Dianhuo yawned and said in a lack of interest: "I'm really not in a good mood, so what are you going to do? Are you going to dance for me, sing a song, or learn to bark like a dog?"

"Neither." Li Cheng smiled gently and sunny: "I want to give Ms. Dian Huo an antidote."

"Antidote?"

"Yes, an antidote to your longevity." Li Cheng smiled.

The next second, the curtain between the two of them was instantly burned to ashes.

A long whip made of flames rushed out with a swish and accurately hit Li Cheng's lower abdomen, piercing through it.

The speed of the flaming whip far exceeded Li Cheng's reaction speed. He didn't even realize he needed to dodge before he was hit.

Lilith watched from the side, her face suddenly falling:
"Ah!!! Damn it! I told you, demigods aren't that easy to deal with!"

But Li Cheng still had that sunny smile on his face.

Before he entered the palace, he activated [Reversal of Cause and Effect], and the system had already given a prompt.

[You were attacked by the fire, and your vitality was reduced by 67%. ]

[The reversal of cause and effect has been triggered, and your vitality has increased by 67 percent. ]

As long as he is not killed instantly by one blow, Li Cheng will not die.

Of course, Dianhuo has the power to kill Li Cheng in one blow.

But she won't do that.

Because she longed for the truth about the decline of lifespan.

"Boy, have you been the one hitting me all along?" Dianhuo turned around and lay on his side on the bed, his head burning more and more fiercely.

"Ms. Dianhuo, this is not the way to ask a question." Li Cheng smiled.

"Boy, you know, as long as I want, I can burn you to ashes in an instant. No matter what kind of life you are, there is no possibility of reincarnation." Dianhuo's voice was extremely cold.

"Really? But if that happens, you will never know the truth." Li Cheng still smiled: "I guarantee that you will regret it."

"Haha, even if I kill you, I can still search your soul."

Dianhuo smiled playfully, and the flames began to burn continuously along Li Cheng's body.

The azure blue flame that burned everything spread over Li Cheng's body.

[You were attacked by the fire of despair. Because of the reversal of cause and effect, your vitality increased by 98%.]

[You were attacked by the fire of despair. Because of the reversal of cause and effect, your vitality increased by 59%.]

[You are attacked by the fire of inversion and you feel very painful. Because the cause and effect are reversed, you feel very happy.]

【…】

Li Cheng was burning like this, and the expression on his face became happier and happier.

As long as Dianhuo doesn't want to kill himself directly, his health bar will become thicker and thicker.

This is so comfortable too.

On the other side, Dianhuo was looking at things more and more strangely.

This guy was burned by the burning soul fire, but he looked like nothing happened.

Isn’t her flame a fire of disaster that would cause even demigods great pain?
Is this guy a masochist who likes pain?
As the fire continued, Li Cheng was fine, but his clothes could not withstand it and turned into ashes in an instant.

And because of him now, and because of the reversal of cause and effect, all the pain has turned into happiness, and what is the happiest thing for a man?

To put it simply, it is——

Stronger.

At this moment, the flaming head of Dian Huo also burst into flames.

Shit, what kind of demon is this?

How come he looks like a donkey demon even though he has human form?
This diameter...

Isn't that too unfair?
Wait, is now the time to be thinking about this kind of thing?

Dianhuo was distracted for only a few seconds before he regained his composure, and the flame on his head also dimmed a little.

The flames on Li Cheng's body also shrank.

Dianhuo is not a fool. She knows very well that since this donkey demon dares to stand in front of her, he is definitely not afraid of the soul search after death.

Therefore, if he was really killed, the clues that were obtained with great difficulty would be lost.

She had originally thought of using pain to force this guy to submit.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't feel any pain at all, but instead enjoyed it.

Dianhuo had no choice but to listen to what he wanted and then make a judgment.

"Boy, I have already shown my kindness, don't waste the opportunity. Tell me, who is it that is trying to take my life?"

"Haha, Ms. Dianhuo, you are so smart, can't you think of the answer?"

Li Cheng patted the sparks on his body. He was now naked, revealing muscles like those of an ancient Greek sculpture.

He originally felt that he was at a disadvantage.

But when he discovered that there was nothing on top of Dianhuo's beautiful body, which still had its charm, he suddenly felt much more balanced.

It's no wonder, this blue Avatar-like skin, coupled with that exaggerated and vulgar body shape, is so charming that it can't be described as lingering.

This is totally the Blue Rose in full bloom!
But there is no head on the neck, just a big fireball, which is a bit hard to eat.

Li Cheng was caught in a dilemma.

Of course, Dianhuo would never have thought that Li Cheng was actually thinking such blasphemous words in his head.

On the contrary, she was extremely panicked, and her voice was trembling:
"What do you mean? Why do you say I can think of the answer?"

"Of course you can think of the answer, because the spell to take away life can only be activated if you have the soul fragment of that person." Li Cheng hugged his shoulders and smiled calmly: "And in this time of billions, there is only one person who is capable and qualified to obtain your soul fragment, right?"

"No, it's impossible, it definitely can't be him!" Dianhuo raised his hand, and flames appeared in his palm again: "Baoru, you will never do this to me! You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

She suddenly threw the flames at Li Cheng, but with so many flames, none of them was a sure-kill move.

Li Cheng's health bar is getting thicker and thicker.

The spring head became harder and harder.

"Ms. Dianhuo, I never told you that the one who hurt you was the Wrathful Father God." Li Cheng said as he slowly walked towards her: "But you said his name yourself."

"So, you don't know clearly?"

"What on earth is the answer!"

"No, no, that's not it!"

With every step forward Li Cheng took, Dianhuo took a step back. She was almost on the verge of breaking down in the face of this "truth".

"If you really believe in that fury, why don't you just kill me?"

After a few steps, Dianhuo's calves touched the stone bed, and Li Cheng stood in front of her:
"Why don't you kill me, a bastard who spreads lies and misleads people?"

"Why do you continue to listen to my lies?"

"No, that's right. I'm going to kill you. I can't let you sow discord between me and the Angry Father God. Yes, I'm going to kill you..."

Dianhuo muttered to himself and raised his hands, but he was unable to swing them.

Li Cheng's mouth opened at the right time: "Or, you actually already knew the answer, but you just didn't want to face it. Because you love the Wrathful Father."

"Stop talking." The fire on Dianhuo's head was getting smaller and smaller.

"You love him deeply, to the extreme."

"Stop, stop talking."

"You love him more than you love yourself."

"Stop talking..."

"Even though you knew he was from Nantong, you still loved him so much."

"I said, stop talking! Damn bastard!"

Dianhuo was finally forced to break down. She suddenly raised her head and slapped Li Cheng in the face.

But the fatal blow stopped abruptly before it hit.

The strong wind blew on Li Cheng's cheeks, but he remained motionless. Only the emblem of wrath bestowed by the Mother Goddess of Deception on his hand was shining brightly.

"You, you, how come you have his power? Are you his man?" Dianhuo's voice was trembling: "Did he send you to kill me?"

"He sent me to kill you? What? I don't believe it!"

"You are wrong, Ms. Fire."

Li Cheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his face was full of affection.

"I am not his, I..."

"It is the Wrathful Father."

"The current angry father god is a bastard who stole my position as a demigod and robbed my soul."

"Not only did he take everything from me, he also wanted to kill you as well."

"You, what did you say?" Dianhuo suddenly lost his balance and fell on the bed.

The impact of this sentence was so great that it even surprised her.

"That's right. Think about it. I, Rage, am the demigod of the abyss. How could a person like me be a Nantong?" Li Cheng said dimly, "I am not Nantong. I have never been a Nantong."

"Then you..." Dianhuo's heart was pounding.

"My XP system has always been..." Li Cheng took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, enunciating each word: "Armed Flame! Ms. Fire!"

It was a question, Li Cheng used questioning!
PS: Today I have almost reached 6500 words. My fingers are getting better now. I will continue to increase the number of words tomorrow and return to words per day soon. Thank you~
