Shen He's expression was calm, but it was filled with determination.
No matter what, we must protect our junior brother...
After taking a bullet, Jiang Ning discovered that these guys had become incredibly strong!
Honestly, Jiang Ning really had no way to deal with this kind of reckless swarm tactics and physically strong opponents.
"Well!"
Jiang Ning was repelled once again, and Shen He gradually became anxious.
Even the Geo shield on his body developed cracks.
Finally, after yet another heavy blow, Jiang Ning crashed to the ground, covered in dust and bruises all over his body.
The rock elemental shield couldn't hold on any longer and shattered.
"Little junior brother!"
Shen He suddenly exerted his strength, broke away from the original battlefield, and came to Jiang Ning's side. With the help of immortal techniques, his elemental power exploded, and he cleared another area of land.
However, the large beads of sweat and heavy breathing indicated that Shen He was also running out of steam.
The two had held out for more than half an hour, but the living corpses here were like waves, countless in number.
Even after it was broken, stalactites continued to emerge from the ground.
Even the entrance to the cave was gradually submerged by stalactites.
"There really is no way out..." Jiang Ning gritted his teeth.
Then he pulled out one mechanism after another, which were left to him by his master, the True Lord Liuyun.
I originally intended it for self-defense, thinking I wouldn't need it, but now it seems I'll have to use it.
However, just as I finished setting things up, the enemy's attack became even fiercer and more frantic.
"Morax! You will die by my hand!!!"
Jiang Ning: "...Did the Emperor dig up this demon god's ancestral graves before? Why is there such a strong resentment? He becomes even more insane when things related to the Emperor are brought out."
Shen He, wary of his surroundings, said, "Junior brother, say less... conserve your energy."
On one side were the two people who were gradually reaching their limit, and on the other side was an endless sea of corpses.
Even the small-scale return-to-the-end machine left to them by True Lord Liuyun could only delay things for a while.
In just over ten minutes at the end of the month, the terminal machines started breaking down one by one, and the pressure was mounting.
Jiang Ning also felt his arms getting heavier and heavier, and the elemental power inside his body was gradually running out.
Shen He also started a trade-off, trying to prevent Jiang Ning from getting hurt again, and gradually he himself started getting bruised and battered.
At this moment, she even regretted letting her junior brother absorb her Lonely Fiend Qi. If she still had it, she could have completely released the Lonely Fiend Qi and perhaps even sent her junior brother away.
"System, think of something!"
Jiang Ning had no choice but to turn to the system for help.
The sound of turning pages came from the system's refuge area, and the voices were extremely flustered:
[Wait, wait a minute, let me check the manual again! It's not in the book, and I don't have the authority to add points!]
Jiang Ning was speechless. Sure enough, the system was unreliable…
In the instant he was distracted while communicating with the system, a living corpse filled with black resentment rushed out and headed straight for Jiang Ning's back.
"Junior Brother!" Shen He exclaimed in shock.
Jiang Ning also gritted his teeth...
Can't escape.
At that moment.
"Embrace everything."
43. Zhongli, a name that brings peace of mind.
Jiang Ning's eyes still showed some lingering shock. If he had eaten his fill just now, he probably would have lost his ability to fight.
"Little junior brother!"
Shen He also came to Jiang Ning's side, hugged Jiang Ning in his arms, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
In that instant, she remembered what her father had once said.
Your fate is destined to be lonely and unlucky; those around you will all meet tragic ends...
If his junior brother really had a problem today, Shen He would probably never recover from it.
"Senior sister, I'm fine... but what's going on here?"
Jiang Ning patted his senior sister and looked curiously at the shield that protected him and Shen He.
It's made of rock, it's gold, and it has text and patterns that I can't understand.
More importantly, no matter how much the demons' resentment and the living corpses outside try to destroy it, they cannot break through this shield even a step.
Not even a ripple appeared.
"You two are truly audacious, daring to face the resentment of a demon god alone. You should know that the resentment of a demon god is far more troublesome and powerful than the remnants of a demon god."
When the magnetic voice rang out, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
"master……"
Jiang Ning collapsed to the ground.
My master is an immortal; if he comes, I guess I can relax a bit.
Shen He also looked at Zhong Li with curiosity. She had seen him before. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun once said that if he came here for tea, one should not be impolite, but one should let him be alone.
Moreover, the fact that his junior brother had also recognized the other side as his master made people even more curious.
"This time, you were reckless."
Zhongli looked at Jiang Ning and gave him a slight reproach.
“If I hadn’t happened to be nearby, you would have been in trouble.”
Shen He said, "Sir, please don't blame my junior brother. It's my responsibility. I didn't investigate properly before..."
"Senior sister, there's no need to say that. Didn't I come here directly with you? I also have a responsibility."
Watching the two senior and junior disciples blaming each other, Zhongli shook his head helplessly. Why did he feel like he was the one breaking up their relationship?
"To be precise, this matter is not your responsibility. The Seven Stars explained that it was caused by the remnants of a demon god. If that's the case, your abilities are sufficient to handle it. However, the resentment of a demon god is not a simple thing."
Zhongli said.
"The resentment of a demon god even retains a part of the demon god's soul, memories, and even powers from his previous life. Your luck this time is a bit bad. This resentment of a demon god is an omnipotent being."
Jiang Ning said, "I see... When we get back, we must make sure Qixing provides compensation."
“If you make a mistake, you should correct it and make compensation. That’s natural,” Zhongli said. “This commission is also a contract. The contents and obligations in it are much more than agreed upon. This can be considered a breach of contract, so of course you should be punished. Let’s offset it with compensation.”
"But speaking of which, Master Zhongli, why does this demon's resentment keep calling Morax's name? It was calling it at me just now, and now it's calling it at you too... Who is this demon? It can't even rest in peace after it's dead."
Jiang Ning was curious.
Zhongli said, "Perhaps it's because you were killed by Morax and therefore harbor resentment towards him, that you attribute everything related to Morax to him? It's also a coincidence that you and I are both rock elementals and the magic we use is more or less related to Morax."
"As for the identity of this demon god..."
A hint of reminiscence appeared in Zhongli's eyes: "The Necromancer God, Samigina, was a strange god during the War of the Gods."
"The Necromancer God... what about these living corpses?"
Seeing that the horde of corpses and the resentment of the demons outside couldn't even cause a ripple, Jiang Ning gradually relaxed and asked.
Zhongli said, "These are all the pursuers, or rather, the subjects, of that demon god."
Jiang Ning was taken aback: "Is it really that cruel?"
Turning one's own people into living corpses—what kind of monstrous idea is that?
Zhongli continued, "Although it is said that demons love humans, some demons' love for humans is just too heavy."
"They all love others based on their own views, but little do they know that their way of loving others may actually be a disaster for humanity."
Jiang Ning said, "I know that. In Mondstadt next door, that demon god was overthrown by Barbatos and the Mondstadt people because his methods of protecting humanity were somewhat unacceptable?"
Zhongli nodded slightly: "Yes, but this necromancer god in front of me believes that only by becoming his followers and turning into living corpses can his people live as long as him. Therefore, he has turned his people into living corpses with his power."
"Although as long as the Necromancer God is alive, his people will be immortal, these people have lost their own minds and become walking corpses."
"In that case, it would be better to just die..."
Jiang Ning muttered to himself, then looked at the zombies outside, imagining himself looking like that, and couldn't help but shudder.
Zhongli glanced at the zombies and said slowly, "Alright, this isn't the place to talk, let's find somewhere else."
"Then this demon's resentment..."
Jiang Ning said.
Zhongli said, "It's a pity. If that Great Sage Who Subdued Demons were here, perhaps he could have dealt with this demon's resentment..."
Zhongli felt that he couldn't reveal his true identity. Everyone has their own expertise, and none of the immortals could eliminate the resentment or remnants of the demon god.
Only the guardian yaksha can do it, and of course, the Rock King himself can also do it.
But if Zhongli did that, it would be like writing "I am Morax" on her face.
However, if I had known I was planning to retire, I would have changed my appearance and gone to Liu Yun's place for tea instead. Liu Yun's mouth...
Zhongli had a headache.
I always felt that it was only a matter of time before my true identity was exposed.
[Found it! Host! We've found the instruction manual and the solution!]
The system's voice was overjoyed, but Jiang Ning felt neither joy nor sorrow; in fact, he felt like cursing.
