Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 716

Chapter 718 - Continuously

Hearing Gu Qing Shan speak, the black-skinned man went silent.

He seemed puzzled on how to answer Gu Qing Shan.

An entire minute later, he finally answered: “My wife and child are already dead”

“Dead?” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “don’t joke around, your wife is even stronger than you are, if you’re still alive, how could she be dead?”

The black-skinned man went silent again.

He was struggling to come up with something to say.

While Gu Qing Shan appeared to be smiling, his focused gaze was extremely cold.

It’s quite clear, that’s a fake

But his aura, presence, even the stinger attack was exactly the same as the real scorpion.

Without waiting for the black-skinned man to give his answer, Gu Qing Shan activated his formation plate.

He disappeared together with Little Dusk again.

Faraway in the desert.

The light of the formations lit up again.

Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk appeared.

Gu Qing Shan pulled the formation plate out of his sleeves and took out the spirit stones that were in there before.

As soon as he took them out, the spirit stones turned into dust and scattered to the wind.

The spirit stones Gu Qing Shan used on this formation plate were perfect-grade spirit stones, normally usable for quite a few times.

But to escape from the scorpion, he had been overclocking the formation plate with the priority for speed, so their energy was drained incredibly fast.

Gu Qing Shan quickly put in new spirit stones for the formation plate.

“It has the scorpion’s outer appearance as well as his form of attack, quite the perfect replication” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“Then did the black scorpion die or not?” Little Dusk asked.

“I have a feeling that the entire scorpion family still isn’t dead” he said.

“How did you arrive at that conclusion?” Little Dusk asked.

“If the Demon Scorpion Empress was already dead, the creature would have immediately said: My wife and child are dead, you can just bring me alone”

“This is the simplest and most direct reaction, to be more convincing, it could’ve even shown me her corpse”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “But he didn’t answer right away, instead he stood there thinking about what to say”

Little Dusk commented: “He did think for a bit too long”

Gu Qing Shan chuckled and continued: “And so we understood another thing——- that the creature doesn’t know how to communicate with other people, it doesn’t know that staying silent for a long time will cause suspicion”

“So what do we do now?” Little Dusk asked.

“Now that we have so much intel, we need to go one last time to clear up everything” he said.

“What are you going to do? Are we going to use this series of formations?” Little Dusk asked.

“Not quite, the situation has changed, before making things clear, we can’t just kill off the scorpion” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The black-skinned man stood still under the sun of the desert.

He was very angry right now.

What was that man just now?

How did he use spatial powers so freely to escape from me?

It’s unfortunate, because of the figure of light’s appearance, the majority of my power is being suppressed under the desert.

Otherwise, I would’ve been able to easily catch that man and interrogate him about how to leave this world.

While he was standing dejectedly, the man appeared again.

——Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk once again appeared in front of him.

“My wife and child are really dead, lead the way, let’s leave this world together” the black-skinned man immediately said.

That was the answer he took so long to come up with.

“You’re not the black scorpion” Gu Qing Shan curtly said.

“Ah? Why do you say that?” the black-skinned man asked.

“Because I found the real him just now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The black-skinned man shook his head: “That’s impossible, I’m standing right here, where did you see my imposter?”

“Come” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

A flash of light came from the formation plate in his hand.

A second later, another black-skinned man appeared standing next to him.

This black-skinned man looked exactly the same as the scorpion guardian of the labyrinth, not even a single bit different.

They both stared at each other.

“That’s a fake!”

“You’re the fake!”

They both roared in anger and rushed in, clashing against one another.

With a huge boom, invisible shockwaves spread in the air.

They both retreated.

“How is that possible…”

The labyrinth guardian muttered in disbelief.

The presence, power, means of attack, and habits were exactly the same as his—– in fact, that one felt like he was actually more experienced when it came to fighting.

“This is the real one, you’re just an imposter” Gu Qing Shan declared.

The black-skinned man was at a loss of words.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “We’re going to bring the real one and leave this world with him”

Leave… this world…

They’re going to leave

The black-skinned man suddenly blanked out.

Not good, it’s too late to change to another body to stop them from leaving.

But the other side isn’t weak, and there’s another black scorpion with similar strength to myself, I’m not going to be able to stop them.

At this time, Gu Qing Shan looked at the black-skinned man and shook his head: “An imposter like you should just stay right here, we’re leaving”

Seeing him about to leave for real, the black-skinned man couldn’t hesitate any more and shouted: “Wait a minute, he’s the fake one! I have the scorpion’s soul right here!”

Gu Qing Shan stopped.

Soul?

——-he has the soul?

Following that vein of thought, the scorpion’s body must be under his control.

The creature probably used some sort of method to enter the scorpion’s body and took it over.

Quite similar to possession in the cultivation world.

But possession is normally a very dangerous thing to do, if you’re careless, you might lose everything instead.

There are quite a few wardens in the Abyss of Sin, and a single cultivator wouldn’t be able to possess more than one person.

Yet all the wardens are nowhere to be seen.

That confirms one thing——– the creature has the ability to control many people at once.

But even now, the other wardens still haven’t appeared.

Which confirms something else—–

Although the creature can take over the body of many living beings at once, it can only use one of those bodies at a time.

In other words, the Demon Scorpion Empress is still alive, but she’s currently being left as a spare body for the creature.

Which means there’s only one thing I should do right now.

After confirming his thoughts, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but laugh.

It was a real laugh, so he was laughing very refreshingly.

He told the girl next to him: “Little Dusk, you have to socialize and get to know people better, don’t be like him, staying sealed so long that everything he tries to do is seen through instantly”

Little Dusk sighed: “I think the only problem he ran into was meeting you”

The black-skinned man standing next to Gu Qing Shan asked: “Gongzi, what should we do now?”

Gu Qing Shan answered her: “Simple”

He threw the formation plate on the ground.

A flash of light appeared on the formation plate.

The warp formation was about to be activated again!

Grabbing onto the black-skinned man and Little Dusk with his hands, Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared.

Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!

The labyrinth guardian black-skinned man suddenly appeared where Gu Qing Shan originally stood.

The formation activated!

In the blink of an eye, he was transported away.

While Gu Qing Shan and the other two appeared where the black-skinned man originally stood.

“Let’s go, we’re entering the labyrinth” Gu Qing Shan said.

“What about the black scorpion?” Little Dusk couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Since it’s now so far away, the creature wouldn’t be able to return here right away, but we’re going to enter the labyrinth right now—— so it will immediately give up the black scorpion’s body and use the body of another warden within the labyrinth to protect the Divine Armament”

“That way, the creature wouldn’t know where I am in the labyrinth to track me down, and the black scorpion will also be free”

“In that case, the black scorpion will definitely come back here to save his wife and child, and when he enters the labyrinth, he might be able to help me distract the creature’s attention”

“This is the time when we should act”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the black-skinned man.

“Shannu, you can turn back now”

“Yes, gongzi”

The black-skinned man transformed into a blue-dressed girl.

The girl gave a jet black tree branch back to Gu Qing Shan.

——-this was the stinger that the black scorpion gave Gu Qing Shan before.

And Shannu used it to perform [Mystery of All Beings Equal]

Looking at the stinger, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

Originally, he wanted to also turn into the black scorpion, taking him on two-on-one while Little Dusk attacked from the rear and quickly killed him.

But now that he knew the creature was only using the black scorpion’s body, and that he could still be saved, that wasn’t an option anymore.

Uncle black scorpion was such a nice guy as well, so he felt a bit guilty about randomly killing him just to get Soul Points.

“Keep it on you, it might become useful later on” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Yes” Shannu put the stinger away on herself.

Little Dusk looked at the blue-dressed girl’s beautiful but aloof appearance and praised: “Wow, so beautiful, who are you, big sister?”

“Nice to meet you, I am gongzi’s sword, my name is Shannu” Shannu greeted her politely.

Little Dusk quickly greeted her back: “Nice to meet you too, I’m your gongzi’s partner, my name is Dusk, you can call me Little Dusk”

“Yes, Little Dusk” Shannu smiled and lightly called her name.

She was always with Gu Qing Shan and saw everything that she needed to see, so she had a good impression of Little Dusk.

Gu Qing Shan told them: “Alright, enough chatter for now, we need to go in”

Shannu turned back into the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and went into the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan brought Little Dusk towards a certain dune of sand.

As they approached, the drifting sand quickly parted ways to make way.

A flight of stone stairs heading downwards appeared in front of them.

On the other side.

The light of the formation faded.

The black-skinned man appeared inside the formation.

“No, this is a spatial warp”

His expression became grim as he gazed far away.

I have to return now!

The man turned his body and was about to take off.

A flash of light came.

He suddenly disappeared and reappeared several dozen meters away.

The man looked around.

I got warped again.

He tried turning again.

Another flash of light.

This time, without even taking a step, he was transported to the inside of another formation.

—–continuous linked warp formations!

While inside this formation, even the slightest movement would trigger the formation.

He would be transported in a continuous loop around 36 warp formations unable to leave.

A high-ranking formation expert might be able to resolve them one by one.

But if you use violence instead—–

The black-skinned man punched the ground.

Krak krak!

The formation gave off a light cracking sound and seemingly would break the very next second.

The black-skinned man slightly relaxed.

If that’s the case, I just have to break it!

Right immediately, another flash of light came.

He got warped to another formation.

——–this was a completely intact formation.

The black-skinned man angrily struck it with all his might.

The entire formation broke apart.

But as soon as he struck it, the formation was also triggered.

A flash of light.

The warp was complete.

He got transported to another intact formation!

The black-skinned man took a deep breath.

I would have to destroy the majority of these warp formations to be able to leave!

But there’s no time!

That man must’ve already entered the labyrinth!

“I have no choice, I need to leave this body and return directly” the black-skinned man muttered.

A second later, his entire body trembled as he fell into a blank state.

A few moments later, the black-skinned man’s eyes regained their clarity.

“Why am I here?”

He looked around and began to recall what happened.

“…So that’s what happened, it was using my body”

“Oh no, honey, junior, wait for me, I’ll save you!”

The black-skinned man dashed forward.

A flash of light.

He got transported to another formation.

He immediately understood what happened.

The black-skinned man commented emotionally: “Good, good, good, this really is the only way for it to hurriedly return without paying attention to me”

As he spoke, he had already extended his long tail stinger and attacked the formation.
