Chapter 257 - The Slapping Competition!
Chapter 257: Chapter 257: The Slapping Competition!
This kind of relaxing feeling was very fascinating, as if one had worked hard for a whole day, then received a relaxing massage.
It made Ren Qi so comfortable that he almost moaned out loud. Then, he discovered that the black fog in front of him actually began to change.
The surrounding black fog became lighter and lighter, and rays of light slowly rose in the surroundings. They slowly replaced the black color in the black fog, and the surroundings began to become bright.
This change was very slow and smooth.
It was so smooth that Ren Qi did not even realize that he was the only one left in the surroundings.
!!Ren Qi felt his entire body become warm. It was as if his entire body was soaked in warm spring water. He could not help but close his eyes.
After a long while, a warm feeling rose up, causing Ren Qi to slowly open his eyes.
Her surroundings had actually become warm. At this moment, Ren Qi was completely naked in the hot spring.
Ren Qi did not sense anything wrong at all. Instead, he felt extremely comfortable.
Following that, Ren Qi saw the source of the warm sensation.
It was the Dark Elf Queen!
Looking at the Dark Elf Queen who was the same as him, Ren Qi’s eyes immediately widened.
Then, Ren Qi saw more figures.
Elemental Elf Queen, Feng Ya, Yuna, Risa, Tina…
More and more figures came out, turning the entire hot spring into a hodgepodge.
Seductive laughter filled Ren Qi’s ears, and the constant warmth made Ren Qi raise his head and close his eyes again.
All kinds of feelings pulled at him, as if they wanted to pull him into the abyss of desire, making him sink into it forever!
No!
It shouldn’t be like this!
Ren Qi suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
The warm hot spring disappeared, and all the figures also disappeared. Ren Qi found that he was still in the black fog.
However, compared to the middle position he had been walking in before, Ren Qi found that he had unknowingly arrived at the edge of the team.
Long Yi was right in front of him.
Looking at Ren Qi’s clear eyes, Long Yi nodded slightly. “Not bad. To be able to wake up on your own, your willpower is not bad.”
Ren Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard Long Yi’s words. Then, he asked softly, “What happened just now? Was it an illusion? I almost felt like I wouldn’t be able to wake up.”
Long Yi nodded and said, “It can be considered an illusion. It can stimulate the desire deep within your heart and pull you into a lost state.”
“Once you are immersed in it for more than twenty minutes, you will directly fall into a lost state, and no news of you will return to the surrounding black fog.”
Ren Qi’s expression suddenly stiffened when he heard Long Yi’s words.
Soon after, his gaze landed on Zhao Yuheng’s group around him.
At this moment, Zhao Yuheng’s group also had their eyes tightly shut as they moved out of the black fog.
A few of them were already about to reach the edge of the group.
After which, Ren Qi’s gaze landed on the surrounding soldiers.
It was the same for the soldiers. They had fallen into a lost state. Their minds began to unconsciously spread to their surroundings.
Of course, there were also some soldiers who had woken up from this state.
For example, the frost witch spirits of Fang Qian, the mechanical soldiers of Xuan Ming, and the beautiful female warriors of Luo Ming had basically not sunk into such a state of intoxication.
On the side of the succubus army, the upper echelons like Elise and the others were also completely awake. They followed by Ren Qi’s side, and they looked at Ren Qi with some worry in their eyes.
When they saw Ren Qi wake up, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The Dark Elf Queen and Elemental Elf Queen were also very awake and did not fall into the illusion.
Zhao Yuheng’s half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenixes did not fall into the illusion either. They were dancing around the confused Zhao Yuheng with nervous expressions.
The half-step Saint-tier five elemental thunder qilin was not affected at all. The other half-step Saint-tier soldiers were the same.
Even Blackie was not affected at all. It was flying rapidly in the sky, looking very relaxed.
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that people with combat strength of at least half-step Saint-tier and above would not be affected by the illusion effect.
Following that, Ren Qi noticed that Yang Mei and her rangers and knights were not affected. Their expressions were very clear.
Seeing this, Ren Qi directly asked Long Yi, “Senior Long Yi, what’s going on? How did they not sink into that illusion? Is there any explanation for this?”
Hearing this, Long Yi softly said, “This is considered a different type of spiritual attack. Therefore, as long as one’s spiritual power is relatively strong, they will be able to block it.”
“For example, the frost witch spirits have a higher spiritual power defense. As for those mechanical creatures, their spiritual power is rather dull, just like blockheads. Hence, they are not affected.”
“There are also creatures above the ninth tier that will not be affected by this kind of power.”
Upon hearing Long Yi’s words, Ren Qi nodded lightly.
Following which, he looked at Long Yi and frowned, “Senior Long Yi, what about the remaining people and troops that have fallen into the illusion? Didn’t you say that you would help us just now?”
Long Yi nodded and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just the lost zone. We haven’t entered the forbidden area yet. This kind of situation is still very easy to resolve.”
As he said this, Long Yi waved his tail and knocked out a xuanwu divine turtle that had fallen into the illusion.
The xuanwu divine turtle’s body directly flew up. Then, it formed an arc in the air and heavily crashed into the ground behind it.
The xuanwu divine turtle’s body suddenly trembled before it quickly opened its eyes.
It had woken up!
Ren Qi was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the method that Long Yi had mentioned was actually this.
Physics will help you wake up!
Meanwhile, the dark divine dragons around the nearby teams also swung their tails and sent the soldiers who had fallen into the illusion flying one after another, helping them wake up physically.
“Pa! Pa! Pa!”
Crisp sounds rang out, causing Ren Qi’s face to tremble involuntarily.
Just by listening to the sounds, one could feel the pain.
Seeing that Xuan Ming and the others were about to reach the edge, Ren Qi quickly arrived in front of them.
Following that, Ren Qi raised his hand and gave Xuan Ming a slap!
“Slap!”
A crisp sound rang out and Xuan Ming’s head tilted to the side. His expression instantly became clear.
Feeling the burning pain on his face, Xuan Ming was stunned.
Then, he saw Ren Qi moving to Tian Jizi’s side.
At this moment, an unknown image had appeared in Tian Jizi’s mind. His entire face was about to turn crooked from smiling.
Then, Xuan Ming saw Ren Qi raise his hand and slap Tian Jizi’s face ruthlessly.
Tian Jizi’s head directly tilted to the side. The smile on his face instantly disappeared as he opened his eyes in shock.
Seeing the extent of Tian Jizi’s head being tilted, how could Xuan Ming not know that the pain on his face was caused by Ren Qi.
“Why did you hit me?” Xuan Ming looked at Ren Qi and said angrily.
Tian Jizi also reacted. He listened to Xuan Ming’s words and felt the burning pain on his face. He glared at Ren Qi and said, “Why the f*ck did you hit me?”
Did he not know how much damage a slap could do to people?
Looking at the angry faces of the two people, Ren Qi pointed forward and said, “Do you want them to help you wake up?”
Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi followed the direction Ren Qi was pointing at and saw a dark divine dragon whipping a fallen soldier away with its tail.
The soldier that was sent flying landed heavily on the ground with a muffled sound. Then, it stood up with a confused and painful expression.
Looking at the distance that the soldier was sent flying and feeling the strength of the dark divine dragon’s tail, Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi could not help but swallow their saliva.
“I’m sorry! Thank you for helping me wake up,” Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi looked at Ren Qi and said in unison.
Compared to the way these soldiers woke up, Ren Qi’s slap was a gentle breeze.
Tian Jizi rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll help you too!”
As he said this, Tian Jizi came before Guo Feiyang.
Although the way Ren Qi helped him wake up was much lighter than the dark divine dragon’s, he couldn’t help but feel a little angry.
Then, he could vent his anger on someone else.
In any case, it was fun to help others!
With this thought in mind, Tian Jizi raised his palm and exhaled with his mouth. Then, he directly slapped Guo Feiyang’s face.
The crisp sound of a slap instantly rang out. Just like Tian Jizi, Guo Feiyang’s face directly tilted to the side.
Soon after, Guo Feiyang directly woke up. Looking at Tian Jizi in front of him, he felt the pain on his face and was a little dumbfounded.
Tian Jizi did not waste time talking to Guo Feiyang. He directly went to Luo Ming’s side.
This kind of opportunity was rare. Guo Feiyang might join in later, so he would have to act quickly.
Xuan Ming also took action.
Some of them were already near the tail of the dark divine dragons. He was rushing over to save them!
Accompanied by the sound of slaps, Guo Feiyang’s expression became even more confused. He was not quite sure what had happened.
Ren Qi, who was at the side, gave Guo Feiyang and those who had been slapped awake a simple explanation.
At this moment, Tian Jizi had already arrived in front of Zhao Yuheng.
Looking at Zhao Yuheng in front of him, a hint of excitement appeared on Tian Jizi’s face.
Although Zhao Yuheng was his boss, wouldn’t this be even more exciting?
Moreover, he was trying to save his boss to prevent her from falling under the tail of the dark divine dragon.
It was likely that even if his boss woke up, she would not blame him.
The expression on Tian Jizi’s face became even more interesting when he thought of this. He directly raised his hand.
However, before Tian Jizi’s hand landed, Zhao Yuheng, who was in front of him, immediately opened her eyes.
A hint of clarity appeared in her eyes, and the sense of loss quickly disappeared.
Just like Ren Qi, Zhao Yuheng also managed to break free.
Looking at Tian Jizi’s raised palm, Zhao Yuheng’s eyes immediately narrowed.
“What do you want to do?”
Hearing Zhao Yuheng’s words, Tian Jizi wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did she wake up at this time?
There was nothing he could do. Tian Jizi could only say with an awkward expression, “Boss, you fell into a trance just now. I was trying to wake you up. Otherwise, you would have been sent flying by the dark divine dragon’s tail.”
As he said this, Tian Jizi even pointed at the dark divine dragon that was sending soldiers flying, as if to prove that what he said was true.
Zhao Yuheng turned around to take a look and understood what was going on. She nodded at Tian Jizi.
At this moment, Li Tianlan, who was not far away, also broke free. Her expression gradually regained its clarity.
After understanding the current situation, Li Tianlan’s gaze directly landed on Li Linan, who was not far away from her.
At this moment, Li Linan was squinting her eyes. There was a silly smile on her face as she hopped and hopped towards the depths of the black fog in front of her.
In front of her, the tail of the dark divine dragon was waving, continuously whipping away the fallen soldiers.
Li Tianlan did not hesitate and directly came to Li Linan’s side. She grabbed Li Linan’s arm and shook it quickly.
Very soon, Li Linan was shaken until she opened his eyes. Her expression was a little panicked as she said, “What’s wrong? Is there an earthquake?”
Looking at Li Linan’s expression, Tian Jizi was stunned.
Just now, he said that he wanted to shake Zhao Yuheng and then wake her up. It was just a casual remark.
He did not expect that shaking would really have an effect.
Then, didn’t he receive this slap in vain?
Thinking of this, Tian Jizi’s gaze fell on Ren Qi. His eyes were filled with hidden bitterness.
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows when he saw this. “What are you looking at? I don’t know that shaking is fine. Don’t bite Lu Dongbin like a dog[1].”
“Who is Lu Dongbin?” Tian Jizi was a little puzzled when he heard this.
Ren Qi was stunned for a moment. He had forgotten that the other party did not know about Lu Dongbin.
“Uh, it’s just a person. Forget it, it’s nothing. Fang Qian over there hasn’t woken up yet. Hurry up and wake him up.”
Hearing Ren Qi’s words, Tian Jizi’s attention was instantly diverted, and he quickly walked toward Fang Qian.
He couldn’t let Lord Fang fall be sent flying by the dark divine dragon.
PA!
Another crisp slap sounded!
In the end, all the lords were awakened.
The surrounding soldiers who had fallen into the illusion were also smacked flying and quickly awakened.
However, there were a lot of soldiers that had fallen into the abyss. The dark divine dragon’s lashing didn’t help them either.
Thinking of this, Ren Qi summoned Fang Qian and looked at him. “Lord Fang, have your frost witch spirit cast some ice magic on these soldiers that have fallen into the abyss.”
Fang Gan covered his burning face and looked at Ren Qi in confusion. “Cast ice magic on our own people? What does that mean?”
Ren Qi said, “I’m not asking you to attack them. Just cast some ice magic that has a stronger cooling power to help them cool down.”
Notes:
[1] “Dog bites Lu Dongbin, does not know good people” is an idiom well known by Chinese women and children. The idiom ‘Gou yao lu dong bin’ (Dog bites Lu Dongbin) is suggestive of someone who does not recognise a good person
