Hidden Corner

Chapter 57 057 Virtual and Real One

As the black soil continues to be dug out, a small pit gradually forms around Shanlihong.

The pit is getting deeper and wider, gradually becoming a cylinder shape.

Li Chengyi was so focused on digging that he almost forgot about the slot machine in the distance.

But the strange thing is that no matter how hard he digs, the red roots in the mountains are as long as they are infinite, drilling underground.

The brown flower roots, like snarling ginseng roots, spread out toward the ground.

After digging more than half a meter deep, Li Chengyi still couldn't see the end of the roots. He felt something was wrong.

　　‘You can’t grind any more. If you suddenly exit the flash, all your previous efforts will be wasted. ’

 He glanced at the isolated red and white mountain flowers in the center.

With a decisive heart, I cut off the roots from the bottom of the small white flowers and prepared to take only half of them out.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　．

 At the moment when the sword blade cuts through the roots.

 The red roots, flowers and leaves in the mountains are all rapidly withering and turning black.

 In less than five seconds, it quickly dried up and shrunk into a puddle of black residue.

 After another three seconds, under Li Chengyi's stunned gaze, the black residue slowly faded, changed color, and decreased until it completely disappeared.

In less than ten seconds, the entire mysterious little flower completely disappeared from his sight.

"Me...?" Li Chengyi was half-kneeling on the ground, with one hand making a cautious gesture to protect the little flower.

 But unfortunately, this gesture is no longer needed.

 He made a mistake

 By mistake, he lost an enhanced flower that might have allowed him to transcend different systems.

Li Chengyi felt an indescribable loss in his heart.

But he actually knew in his heart that even if he didn't disappear, after the foggy street passed, there was a high chance that the flower would never be with him again.

 Most of the dead spots appear and disappear over time. Only a few dead spots last forever.

“Perhaps there are also strange flowers in other blind spots. There is nothing I can do if it fails this time. I didn’t know that transplantation couldn’t be done at the beginning, and I didn’t expect that this would happen.”

Li Chengyi stood up slowly, his face expressionless.

　　‘That’s not right! ’ Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

 ‘The blind spots all have prototypes! I haven’t failed yet, there is still hope! ’

His thoughts became clear in an instant, and there was a prototype in the blind spot. Since there is a small white flower here, it is very likely that there is also a small white flower in the place where it originally existed. He can definitely find this little white flower in reality, and maybe he can save the step of transplanting it. Get the hope of absorbing the language of flowers directly!

　　‘Must find a realistic prototype! ’

 An idea took shape in Li Chengyi's mind instantly.

　　‘To find a realistic prototype, that little fat man is the key! ’ The link between his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

‘So, the key point now is to exit the memory flash and keep up with the little fat man! In case the guy gets lost after a long time! ’

Li Chengyi quickly understood the core point in his mind and immediately stepped back.

Generally in a blind spot of memory flash, the best way to exit the memory flash is to stay away and wait.

 When he tried to exit before, he used the method of staying away, that is, retreating.

As long as you exit the area where the memory flash is activated, you can wake up quickly.

 But just when he lifted his steps and moved back.

“Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, apples, vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes and grapes.”

 A strange singing sound floated over from the slot machine in the distance.

 The voice seemed to be magnetic, causing Li Chengyi's feet to slowly slow down as he prepared to retreat.

He heard the song unknowingly and found it quite pleasing to his ears. He wanted to listen to it even more.

 Slowly, he began to move forward step by step, approaching the slot machine.

Phew!

  “!?”

Suddenly, Li Chengyi was startled, and his consciousness woke up from the song. He looked down and was shocked to find that he had walked more than two meters forward from where he was digging the little white flowers!

Not only did he not move back, he also moved forward more than two meters! ?

　　‘What the hell! ? ’ He made a quick decision, turned around in the opposite direction, and ran away.

one meter.

 Two meters.

 Three meters.

“Dududu~~~Fruit Adventure! It only costs one coin to shake it, come and experience it! If you shake two identical symbols, you can get ten times the reward!”

“Swing three identical symbols to get thirty times the reward! No matter what you want most? It’s all possible here! Come on, come on!”

 A strange, indistinguishable male-female voice floated vaguely from the direction of the slot machine.

The voice was like a clown holding his voice while singing, or some kind of distorted and sharp computer-synthesized sound, except it didn't sound like normal syllables.

 The moment he heard this voice, Li Chengyi's retreating steps paused again.

His eyes suddenly became blank, his expression blank, and he walked towards the slot machine again.

 One step.

 One step.

 He walked slowly but firmly, heading straight towards the slot machine.

 Suddenly, a trace of struggle flashed in Li Chengyi's eyes.

It was this trace of struggle that made him realize his current situation. He was actually heading towards the slot machine! ? !

The body seems to be out of control and keeps moving forward.

 Although very slow, the pace is extremely determined.

　　‘Something’s wrong! My body.' Li Chengyi felt very nervous, feeling as if he was trapped in his own body and unable to control any limbs.

In his horror, various methods quickly flashed through his mind, and in an instant, an inspiration appeared in his mind.

‘Flower language: solid! ’

Hum!

 In an instant, Li Chengyi's whole body seemed to be lit up with a golden light.

 His skin, eyes, hair, nails, and even clothes all lit up with a golden light at the same time.

　　The strong flower language belonging to gladiolus strengthened his flesh and spirit at the same time. Flower Language·Strongness: After use, the physical and mental strength can be greatly improved. Each use lasts for fifteen minutes, and an interval of one hour is required between each use.

At this moment, Li Chengyi clearly felt that the control of his body quickly returned to his consciousness.

 He made a prompt decision, turned around and ran away.

Puff puff.

After several sprints in a row, he finally sprinted away from the slot machine and disappeared into the gray mist.

 ‘After exiting, you must find the little fat man as soon as possible! ’ Li Chengyi’s only thought now is to find Xiaopang and the prototype of Fog Street.

That may be his only key to getting the Red Flower Language in the Mountains again!

 Puff puff puff puff!

Amid the sound of fast footsteps, the fog in front of Li Chengyi gradually dispersed.

 Suddenly, a colorful slot machine appeared again more than ten meters in front of him.

Li Chengyi felt cold all over, and suddenly stopped where he was, breathing heavily and staring at the only color slot machine.

The signboard of Wu Ji Grocery Store is still clearly visible behind the slot machine.

 But at this time, Li Chengyi's heart was filled with an inexplicable depression.

“Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it.” The slot machine sang again.

 Inexplicable power enveloped Li Chengyi, causing his eyes to constantly switch between confusion and struggle.

His body slowly moved towards the slot machine again.

 One step.

 One step.

 One step.

 “Jianlan!” Li Chengyi suddenly roared.

His face was distorted, and his whole body was suddenly enveloped in a golden shimmer.

Countless golden gladioli petals flew around, forming a set of ferocious copper-gold armor on his body.

Wear the flower scale clothes to activate the strong language of flowers.

 In an instant, his whole body's mental strength increased greatly, and his body control was restored.

 “Why the **** did I let you sing!”

Li Chengyi was so angry that he rushed forward and kicked the slot machine.

　　Bang! !

The slot machine fell over at the sound, and the panel was cut into a crack by a row of sword blades on the soles of the armor, making it immediately unusable.

A trace of blue arc flashed in the cracks, and the hoarse singing was still ringing intermittently.

 Bang bang bang bang bang! !

Li Chengyi rushed forward and chopped at random.

He held a broad-bladed sword in each arm, and he was slashing wildly at the slot machine.

 Plastic fragments and machine parts were chopped and scattered everywhere.

The singing stopped completely, and within a few seconds, the slot machine turned into a mess of broken pieces.

Li Chengyi's eyes turned red, he stopped chopping while panting heavily, straightened up, and looked around.

　　That outburst just now successfully interrupted the temptation to kill the slot machine.

 But now, he felt inexplicably that the surrounding shops, the two rows of shops along the street shrouded in gray mist, seemed different from before.

 ‘Is it because the slot machine was damaged? ’

  He didn’t know, but he believed that the slot machine would never break down so easily.

He didn’t believe that among the people who had come in before, no one had thought of trying to leave by destroying the slot machine.

 But now, at least until he came in, the slot machines were intact.

 That means, this thing will probably fix itself.

 ‘Now, there should be other changes.’ Li Chengyi watched the surroundings warily.

  Waiting for new changes.

His eyes scanned the shops on both sides back and forth, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear of missing any small changes.

　　Whoosh!

 Suddenly, a scream approached quickly from behind.

The scream was so fast that from far to near, the distance of more than 100 meters seemed to be reached in an instant.

Li Chengyi only had time to switch into the wisteria flower scale clothes when he felt something hit his chest hard.

　　Bang! !

His whole body was shaken violently, and his face in the helmet showed a hint of confusion?

　　　! ? No pain? ’

Li Chengyi's expression froze, he felt like he must have been seriously injured just now.

but

 The armor doesn't feel anything at all.

 Others actually saw what hit them.

That was a mysterious weirdo wearing a tattered black robe, a hood and a black mask.

The weirdo mask is completely black, with a white cross pattern in the center. There are no eyes, nose, or mouth. It is a completely one-piece mask.

Hold in his hand a black dagger twisted like a wave, he struck Li Chengyi hard in the chest.

This blow was hard.

 But Li Chengyi didn't feel anything.

 Wisteria flower scales are superimposed with solid floral language, and the effect seems to be explosive.

He glanced at the black masked monster in front of him, and suddenly waved his hand, and a golden long sword belonging to Gladiolus naturally formed in his hand.

　　唰.

The weirdo was cut into two pieces and severed at the waist, but no blood flowed out.

His whole body collapsed, like an empty shell, just a set of moving cloaks and clothes.
