Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 469 Conquer or be conquered?
An off-road vehicle was running wildly in the wilderness.

"how much longer?"

Shen Ye asked.

“Look back - when you can no longer see the city, you have truly entered the unknown area.” Zhang Xiaoyi said.

He was sitting in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel.

Nangong Sirui sat in the passenger seat.

In the back row are Shen Ye and the long-haired girl named Su Su.

——That is, the Parasite Queen.

Nangong Sirui didn't know her identity.

The same goes for Zhang Xiaoyi.

The two of them seemed very relaxed as they listened to the song.

After all, we haven't entered the dangerous area yet, and along the way we can see many explorers setting up tents and resting on the roadside.

The vehicle lurches.

Shen Ye looked at the scenery in the wilderness, looking a little lost.

This wilderness...

It looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.

Where exactly is this place?
A vague thought was running around in my mind, ready to burst out.

But I always feel like something is missing.

He sighed, pushed the thought aside, and began to think about his situation.

Do you want to talk to them both?
After thinking it over, I decided not to tell them the truth rashly.

——In this situation, if Nangong Sirui and Zhang Xiaoyi knew that the monster was around them, they would probably show nervousness involuntarily.

Wouldn't the Parasitic Queen have noticed this immediately?
Shen Ye glanced at the girl.

The girl Su Su curled up in the seat with her head against the window, seemingly sleeping.

She looks like a normal human girl.

But which girl would look exactly like the Parasite Queen?
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, observed the wilderness outside the window, and secretly thought about his next response strategy.

The boss is by your side——

This is where the power of truth cannot be used.

The wilderness is so dangerous.

...We have to think of a way to save our lives.

First of all.

I am used to fighting with terms.

Excluding those truth terms, the remaining terms are:
The war dance singer, the Wei Zhenren, will meet under the moon at Yaotai, the creator, and the popular idol max.

Among them, "We will meet under the moon at the Jade Terrace" is not available.

First, because it is related to the Three Arts, it is easy to reveal the truth;
Second, his own Dharma image is still evolving and cannot even descend.

“Creator” is not available either.

——Moving the creation of truth will also expose your identity.

That leaves "War Dance Songstress", "Dangerous Master" and "Popular Idol Max".

Only these three terms can be used.

Oh, by the way, there is also a "blood worker" that has just been generated.

The description is: "Work hard and stick to your post."

——Don’t worry about it.

Sword skills...

Changhen is the top swordsmanship.

Entry, knife skills.

If you calculate it this way, there aren’t many things I can use.

Shen Ye looked at the three available entries again.

——These three terms must be used well!
In addition, there is another way -

The troops divided into two groups.

As long as the Parasitic Queen is not around, you can fight however you want!
The vehicle suddenly began to slow down.

Shen Ye withdrew his thoughts and looked forward.

"what is that?"

he asks.

A group of dull-looking humans were walking slowly on the bare gravel ground.

There are tens of thousands of them.

Looking out, there is almost no end in sight.

"Zombies are crossing the border - what a problem! How come we just happened to run into them?"

Nangong Sirui frowned.

"It's really troublesome. We have to kill for a while before we can pass." Zhang Xiaoyi said.

"There are too many of them, and the smell of blood will easily attract monsters. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the safe house before dark." Nangong Sirui said.

The car slowed down further.

A large number of zombies were attracted by the sound of the car engine and moved slowly towards this side.

Nangong Sirui and Zhang Xiaoyi started to take out their weapons.

The murderous atmosphere of battle quietly spread.

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

wrong--

If you are conspicuous enough, you may even attract the attention of the parasitic queen.

Then.

The real flaw is that you act too normal.

What is a fighting method that leaves no room for weakness?
reality.

Only the truth can stand the test.

Just deal with it however you should.

This is without flaws!

"Wait."

Shen Ye said.

The two people in the front row turned around to look at him.

"Do we need to divide the work?" asked Nangong Sirui.

"I'll kill the ones on the left and right, Nangong will kill the ones in the front, and you'll cover the rear?" Zhang Xiaoyi suggested.

"No, I'll discuss with them and see if they can make way for us." Shen Ye said.

Negotiate with zombies?
Nangong Sirui and Zhang Xiaoyi looked at each other.

——Is he serious?
——You ask me, who should I ask?

Shen Ye has already made a decision.

Playing tricks is of no use at all.

There must be a hidden meaning behind the Parasite Queen's visit.

Then take it.

Shen Ye rolled down the window, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

"Can you please make way? We have limited time and we have a concert to attend!"

The entry "Popular Idol Max" is launched!
The zombies stopped one after another, but did not move away. They stood where they were, as if they were a little hesitant.

Shen Ye whistled.

"War Dance Song Girl" is activated!
A line of small, dim words suddenly appeared in the void:
"Popular idol Max is temporarily upgraded by 1 level and becomes a top-tier superstar."

Shen Ye pouted and waved at the group of zombies:
"YO, my friend over here, please make way!"

"thank you for your support!"

"I love you!"

next moment.

The zombies shouted excitedly.

They stared at Shen Ye and waved their hands, as if Shen Ye was a relative from their previous life.

road.

Get out of the way.

"Is this reasonable?"

Zhang Xiaoyi let out a strange cry.

"Hurry up." Nangong Sirui urged.

The off-road vehicle roared and quickly rushed out from the path made by the zombies.

Shen Ye jumped onto the roof of the car, clenched his fists, put them to his mouth, used them as a microphone, and waved to greet everyone around him.

“Thank you, my friends over there!”

"I specially brought you a song called 'Farewell' today."

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless—"

“Let’s sing together!”

A line of small, dim words also popped out:

"You are the 'Whiplash', the owner of the 'Change BGM', the chief singer, and the top singer."

"The linkage has occurred."

"The temporary term 'artist' is born."

“All enemies are immersed in your performance, cheering for you and going crazy for you!”

"——You tell the other person what they are, and that's what they think they are (time limit: three hours)."

Shen Ye's eyes flashed, and he stopped singing and just kept dancing on the roof of the car.

Just dance.

Then tens of thousands of zombies jumped up together.

The electronic music in the void makes people shake their heads involuntarily.

The music is booming!

The off-road vehicle was speeding up, and soon it drove out of the area occupied by the zombies.

The road ahead suddenly became clear.

The off-road vehicle galloped across the barren wilderness.

Only after they were completely away from the zombies did Shen Ye stop playing the music, turn over and fall back into the back seat of the SUV.

"Brother Ye, is it the power of the word?"

Zhang Xiaoyi asked.

"Yes." Shen Ye said.

"When will I be able to have a truly powerful entry?" Zhang Xiaoyi envied.

The off-road vehicle rushed over a small slope and suddenly took off into the air.

Bang!

The car fell down, and the girl Su Su's body tilted and fell into Shen Ye's arms.

Shen Ye quickly supported her.

Su Su opened her eyes and said in a daze: "Oh, sorry, I just fell asleep."

"We almost got into a battle just now... You'd better not sleep, so that you can deal with various emergencies." Zhang Xiaoyi said without turning his head.

"Yes! I will be careful later!" Su Su said quickly.

She sat up straight and began to check her weapons and armor.

Zhang Xiaoyi withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror.

——The girl listened to advice.

Okay!

Before Shen Ye's eyes, lines of dim words appeared:

"The Parasite Queen contacted you personally."

"She changed your entry."

"The current 'blood' category entry 'Blood Worker' has been upgraded to 'Blood Supervisor'."

"Description: Supervise the work of others, point out their mistakes, and order them to correct them, and you will gain strength."

"——From a worker to a manager."

The corners of Shen Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

She touched it just now and the entry changed.

——Is this the result of helping others casually?
But this was also within my expectations.

After all, he couldn't hide it anymore. Showing his fighting style relying on "affinity" earlier could effectively conceal his true strength.

As long as you are not a blood race, everything will be fine.

"Coming."

Zhang Xiaoyi said.

"Let's divide the work while we still have time." Nangong Sirui said.

"How to divide it?" Su Su asked.

"What are your two newcomers good at?" asked Nangong Sirui.

The two looked at each other.

"Brother Shen Ye, you joined before me, so you speak first." Su Su said with a smile.

"I am good at swordsmanship, have high affinity, and can improve the skill level of my teammates." Shen Ye stated.

"I understand. What about you?" Nangong Sirui looked at Su Su.

"Elemental magical attack." Su Su said concisely.

"Are you good at exploration?" Nangong Sirui asked.

"Good at it." Su Su said.

"Is Shen Ye good at exploration?" Nangong Sirui asked again.

"Not very good." Shen Ye said.

Nangong Sirui's eyes flashed, and he had an idea in mind.

Shen Ye——

He seemed wary of this girl.

Since he is wary, he must have his reasons.

But I still don’t know why.

"Zhang Xiaoyi and Su Su will go explore the way, and Shen Ye and I will prepare to meet them."

Nangong Sirui gave the order.

Su Su pouted, looking unhappy.

But the team leader is Nangong Sirui, and as a newcomer, he has no room to disobey orders.

The SUV slowly came to a stop.

Four people got out of the car.

Zhang Xiaoyi pressed a button on the car body.

The off-road vehicle gradually closed in and looked like a huge rock.

In front.

A huge building tilted to the ground, half of it buried in the ground and half of it sticking up high.

——This building looks like it fell from the sky.

Shen Ye stared at the building in a daze, countless memories surging in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the origin of the building.

Evening Star!

This is the Evening Star!
It hangs above the Star of the End, and you can only stay there for a while if you pay.

As for the wilderness that looked familiar to me at the beginning, wasn’t it the scene of the Star of the End that I saw when I looked down from the Evening Star?
This is the Evening Star and the Star of the End!
No wonder it's so dangerous!
Some areas of the Star of the End are places where no one has ever walked out alive!

——But how could the evening star fall?

Shen Ye thought silently.

"Go check it out."

Nangong Sirui ordered again.

Zhang Xiaoyi didn't say anything and ran quickly down the slope.

Su Su followed closely behind.

Once the two left, only Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui were left.

Nangong Sirui jumped onto a rock and observed the surroundings. After a while, he spoke:

"There's no one around right now."

"I have something to ask you."

"Ask." Shen Ye said.

"You don't think highly of this girl? I was originally planning to let you go with her."

Nangong Sirui asked.

Shen Ye smiled and said, “That’s not the case, but the entry is too strong and will add to my charm—I’m afraid this girl will fall in love with me.”

"Are you afraid that you're too popular?"

"Yes," Shen Ye said with some annoyance, "Although the entry is useful, it makes my affinity reach its peak, which is a bad influence on the opposite sex."

"I see," Nangong Sirui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It doesn't matter. It's even good for the battle."

"Let a girl stand in front of me when it's dangerous? No, I can't do that." Shen Ye said.

"That's true." Nangong Sirui nodded in agreement.

"So I'm not very willing to act with her." Shen Ye said.

——Can’t tell the truth.

Not even the slightest flaw can be revealed.

The more realistic Nangong Sirui and Zhang Xiaoyi's performance is, the safer their situation will be.

"That's it, I understand."

Nangong Sirui felt relieved.

"Won't it be dangerous if only the two of them go exploring?" Shen Ye asked.

"Don't worry, the front half of the Dwarf Demon Palace is safe. They are just going to see if there are other explorers inside. Zhang Xiaoyi won't go in recklessly. He knows what's going on."

Nangong Sirui said.

The two chatted casually.

But they couldn't see that Su Su was standing behind them.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Su Su flashed back with an expressionless face and suddenly disappeared.

In front.

Inside the Evening Star.

A turn in the road.

She suddenly appeared and hurriedly apologized to Zhang Xiaoyi:

"Sorry, I was delayed by going to the bathroom."

"It's okay, let's go." Zhang Xiaoyi said.

After exploring for a while, the two did not find any other explorers, so they took out their ID cards and contacted Nangong Sirui and Shen Ye outside.

"No one is in the safe zone."

Zhang Xiaoyi's voice came from the card.

“Then you guys wait where you are, we’ll be there soon, and then we’ll explore the dangerous area together.” Nangong Sirui said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Before he finished speaking, a vague sound suddenly came from the card.

Su Su screamed.

"go!"

The two of them took the cards and immediately rushed into the Evening Star.

Everything here is familiar.

Shen Ye even ran ahead of Nangong Sirui.

Soon.

The two came to a hall.

I saw Zhang Xiaoyi being hung up by an iron chain.

Su Su's whole body was covered in burning flames, making no enemy dare to approach.

There were five or six short grey humanoid creatures standing in the hall.

They were only as tall as Shen Ye's waist, holding sharp knives in their hands, gesticulating with their teeth bared.

Moment.

Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui were unable to move.

Truth suppressed!

"Damn it, what kind of magic did they use? I can't move!"

Nangong Sirui said.

Shen Ye took a look at the gray dwarves and felt something was wrong.

The glimmer of light turned into two lines of prompts:

"You are suppressed by the force field of the first order of truth."

"Source: Su Su."

——It’s the Parasitic Queen who is suppressing everyone!
why?
Shen Ye's mind raced, but he saw a gray dwarf rushing towards him -

The monsters are not suppressed by the truth!

Are they going to kill us with the help of monsters?
Between the lightning and flint.

Shen Ye suddenly sang loudly:
"Come! Come! You're a pineapple!"

——Limited time entry: Artist!
The murderous intent on the gray dwarf's face disappeared. He dropped the knife, rolled to the ground, shook a few times, and stopped moving.

A dwarf nearby kicked him and shouted:

"What are you doing!"

The dwarf hissed hastily, "Stop making noise, I'm a pineapple."

Shen Ye sang again:

"Everyone come together, let's all be pineapples!"

The gray dwarves all squatted together, obediently and motionlessly.

——No one attacked!

So, does the power of repression come out of thin air?

It makes no sense at all!
For an instant.

Su Su had no choice but to release the suppression of truth.

Nangong Sirui moved and immediately went to rescue Zhang Xiaoyi, while Shen Ye drew his knife and walked towards the dwarves.

"I come."

Su Su held him and waved with her other hand.

Endless flames fell from the sky.

The pineapples are roasted.

"It was really dangerous just now, luckily you saved me." Su Su looked at Shen Ye with an inexplicable look.

Shen Ye became extremely alert.

He glanced at the entry for "Artist" and saw that there was still half an hour left.

——With this entry guarding us, we will be safe for at least the next half hour!

etc--

Suddenly, lines of dim words appeared:

"The Parasite Queen has touched you again."

"The current 'blood' entry 'Blood Supervisor' has disappeared, and a new entry has not yet been generated."

“—She is making a decision.”

The girl Su Su turned around, took Shen Ye's hand affectionately, and said:

"Brother Shen Ye, after we go back, would you be willing to do me a favor?"

"I usually don't help others casually." Shen Ye frowned.

Small words quickly appeared in the dim light:
"Your new entry will appear soon. It is 'blood species'."

Shen Ye suddenly grabbed the girl's hand, stared into her eyes, and said in a gentle and soft voice:
"But you are a comrade in our team, I will help you."

"Really?" the girl asked innocently.

"It's just a small matter, contact me when the time comes." Shen Ye said generously.

"Great!"

The girl jumped up with joy.

Two more lines of dim words quietly appeared before Shen Ye's eyes:
"The other party changed his mind."

"Your new entry changes from 'blood race' to 'blood emperor'."

Shen Ye didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat on his back, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Xiaoyi and Nangong Sirui.

"How did you get caught?" he asked.

"I couldn't move at all just now - I thought I could conquer these dwarf demons, but it turned out to be a bit lacking." Zhang Xiaoyi sighed.

"Yeah." Shen Ye felt the same way and sighed as well.

Conquer or be conquered?
This is a problem.
