Chapter 220: Chapter 199: Back to that Moment!

Wu Xiaode looked ahead.

Several hundred meters in front, atop a pile of bones, sat a monster.

It was a One-eyed Giant.

Its body was enormously large, and even though it was sitting on a mound of bones that resembled a hill, it was as tall as a three-story building.

"Pah, human flesh is truly distasteful."

The giant grabbed a skeleton, chewing while complaining.

Its eyes were filled with tyranny and cruelty, blood splattered from its mouth, and its skin was covered with a layer of dull gray, making it look like hard rock.

Indeed...

I have returned to this moment.

He looked around and saw indeed two people standing beside him.

One was a man wearing a bamboo hat, clad in a full set of night clothes, gripping tightly to a cold, long sword, looking around vigilantly.

The other was an old man, leaning on a deep black scepter, occasionally emitting a pulse that made one’s heart tremble.

——Not just these two.

There was another person.

Himself.

His trembling self, standing beside him, silently wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

Further away.

A gravely injured little girl was leaning against a wall corner, her face covered with blood, seeming as if she wouldn’t live much longer.

"You three are the last ones to enter here."

The little girl spoke.

——Even the words were exactly the same.

Yes, it was this moment.

I had returned to this moment!

"May I ask, why do I find myself here?" The masked man asked cautiously.

The little girl was about to answer but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn’t speak for a moment.

The old man turned and looked towards Corpse Mountain and the One-eyed Giant several hundred meters away, frowning, "The One-eyed Giant is a mythical creature... so this is the place."

Wu Xiaode gently stepped aside and glanced into the Void.

He saw the Book of the Dead floating in mid-air, rapidly revealing lines of ice crystal text:

"You have reached the destiny node of the current parallel universe."

"The appearance of two ’yous’ at a single moment can easily cause a paradox of the Law, and you should be eradicated by the law of the sin prison."

"According to the Demon Skill used this time, you are exempt from this eradication."

"Please be aware that you must not interfere with the decisions at this moment in time."

"Otherwise, you will still be eradicated."

I can only look on as a bystander then...

That makes sense.

If I change what happens here, everything that follows would change.

So I mustn’t interfere.

Just then the old man holding the scepter spoke:

"I know a legend about ’Death Demon Cave’—"

"When a being faces certain death, there’s a chance to enter this place..."

The masked swordsman and the other Wu Xiaode listened earnestly.

Momentarily.

The masked man turned to Nina and asked, "What’s your situation, miss?"

"I encountered an assassination in the wild," Nina replied.

They spoke a few more words.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaode saw an invisible light suddenly emerge on the himself of a few days ago.

——His Special Ability had awakened!

At this moment, according to the Book of the Dead:

"In this strange land filled with spirits and Heroic Spirits, your soul resonates naturally with this place, activating deep potential, awakening the Special Ability: Book of the Dead."

Wu Xiaode was puzzled and with a gesture, summoned down the Book of the Dead, asking:

"Is it just me who has awakened abilities, what about the others who entered here? Has nobody else awakened any abilities?"

The Book of the Dead revealed a line of ice crystal text:

"Many, but they have all been eaten by the giant."

Wu Xiaode sighed.

At that moment, another change occurred in the scene.

The masked man and the old man flew up, heading towards a hole in the corner of the wall to escape.

"They are so strong. maybe they have a chance to escape!" the little girl murmured.

Suddenly, she threw an object to Wu Xiaode of a few days ago.

Battle Armor!

The Book of the Dead revealed a few lines of ice crystal text:

"The first node has passed."

"Everything at the current node remains unchanged."

"Attention."

"One node remains."

Wu Xiaode silently waited.

The little girl leaned against the wall, gasping for a few breaths, and shouted, "It can protect you from being killed with one blow, run quickly. With someone covering, maybe you can survive!"

"Why give this to me?" Wu Xiaode of a few days ago asked.

"If one can escape, then run quickly!" the little girl said.

Suddenly.

The One-eyed Giant reached across space—

The masked man was eaten by it, his sword spit out, hitting the wall, and fell to the ground.

"Really distasteful!"

As he spoke, the old man was also directly smacked away by it and killed with a Deep Red Beam.

Everything was unfolding as usual!

The little girl hurriedly spoke:

"Run—this giant seems to be full now, its desire to attack has diminished a lot, and you’re just an ordinary person, it doesn’t fancy your flesh—"

"Take this chance, you have an opportunity to escape from here!"

"Let’s go together!" Wu Xiaode from a few days ago said through gritted teeth.

"Don’t mind me, my injuries are too severe, my bones are broken, I can’t live much longer," the little girl said.

She looked at him intensely, giving her last piece of advice:

"I’m already dying, you run— if you survive, avenge me later!"

Wu Xiaode had no choice but to run towards the hole.

The One-eyed Giant came down from Corpse Mountain, humming:

"Rats aren’t worth much to eat—I have too much rat meat."

"However, a sprout carrying a special power fluctuation, can completely serve as the main course for this meal."

It took heavy steps towards the little girl.

Such a delicious existence made the corner of the giant’s mouth drool extensively.

The One-eyed Giant slowly extended his huge, bloody, and bone-laden hand towards the little girl.

Just then.

A voice arose from the nearby hole:

"If I were you, I wouldn’t eat her so easily, especially since she’s full of fear."

"According to your own sayings, a corpse that dies in fear will rot and sour, and the taste is terrible, even if it’s a living person, isn’t it?"

The voice fell.

Finally, lines of ice crystal small characters emerged on the Book of the Dead:

"The second fate node has appeared!"

"The current timeline’s course of fate is complete, it will no longer influence any future events that happen to you."

"Once you leave this moment, you can show yourself!"

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath.

It had been a long enough wait.

He looked towards the sobbing little girl.

He hadn’t looked closely last time, but now he noticed a sharp dagger hidden in her hand.

—This dagger would definitely not be effective against the giant.

Was it meant for her to free herself, to avoid being devoured by the giant?

This wouldn’t do; he had to keep an eye on her.

Wu Xiaode immediately walked towards her.

"Nina," he crouched down next to her and said softly.

The little girl trembled, her cute eyes widening as if she had even forgotten the pain.

"Who is it? Who’s there?" she whispered hurriedly.

She tried to control her expression to avoid giving herself away, lest the One-eyed Giant on Corpse Mountain notice.

"You should be able to recognize it," Wu Xiaode said, crouching beside her.

The little girl furrowed her brows slightly, glancing towards Wu Xiaode not far away.

—It was his voice.

But what was going on? Were there two of him?

She saw that other Wu Xiaode opening a chest crushed under corpses, taking out some bottles and jars, and beginning to apply various condiments to his body.

"Come on, taste this!"

The young man opened his arms and roared at the One-eyed Giant.

Nina’s little brain couldn’t comprehend.

—This guy must be crazy!

"Just watch quietly; there will be a result soon." Wu Xiaode’s voice from within the mist was low.

"...But why are there two of you?" Nina asked.

"I came back from the future to rescue you," Wu Xiaode said.

"How did you manage that?"

"Battle Armor."

"But, the power of Elf... can only be used for revenge,"

"I chose Demon Skill."

"But father said I should choose Elf."

"Elf can only avenge you; Demon Skill let me come back."

"...I never thought of that," Nina sighed.

She relaxed a little, and her fingers, which had been whitened from gripping the dagger, also loosened.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out in mid-air.

The young man fiercely slapped the One-eyed Giant across the face.

The One-eyed Giant said in a deep voice:

"It seems I was mistaken just now, you dare to struggle even in the face of death, and there is an indefinable power fluctuation on you—"

"You must be top-grade food!"

The giant opened its mouth and stuffed Wu Xiaode inside.

Those sharp fangs came down hard, fiercely landing on Wu Xiaode.

Crack!

The fangs clamped shut.

There was no splattering of blood, no blur of flesh, no screams of despair.

The One-eyed Giant was momentarily stunned.

"You’ve already teleported away? What’s happening now? What do we do?"

Nina asked in a whisper.

Wu Xiaode remained silent, standing up from the ground.

The Book of the Dead floating in front of him rapidly displayed two lines of ice frost small characters:

"You have already left!"

"Now you can show yourself!"

The Demon Mist dispersed.

Wu Xiaode, clad in a black robe, stepped out and walked towards the One-eyed Giant, one step at a time.

"Huh? How did you just run out of my mouth?"

The One-eyed Giant asked, full of confusion.

Wu Xiaode didn’t say a word, only flashed to the side.

A deep red beam shot out from the giant’s eye, instantly hitting the spot where he had just been standing.

Missed!

The killer intent in the giant’s single eye intensified.

It extended its colossal palms, grasping at the air—

Wu Xiaode suddenly turned into a mist, instantly passing through the invisible grasping power, appearing on the other side.

—Still not caught!

The One-eyed Giant was somewhat surprised, squinting its eye and asking, "Who exactly are you?"

Wu Xiaode loosened his neck, casually gesturing.

The sword that had fallen in the corner flew over, landing in his hand.

He pulled it back from behind.

The Chi Xiao Sword appeared.

Both swords hummed together, as if communicating with each other, and as if echoing the killing intent emanating from Wu Xiaode.

"Don’t worry about who I am, I came here with only one purpose," Wu Xiaode said.

"What?" the One-eyed Giant asked.

"To kill you," Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

There was a deadly silence in the Death Demon Cave.

Nina did her best to cover her mouth.

The One-eyed Giant stared intently at Wu Xiaode, the murderous intent flowing from its body as if it were tangible.

Suddenly—

"Bang!"

A loud noise.

In the dark Void, clusters of starlight began to flicker one after another, lighting up the entire Death Demon Cave like a night sky filled with a galaxy of stars.

The Book of the Dead crazily refreshed lines of ice crystal small characters:

"You’ve returned."

"All the spirits and Heroic Spirits hovering in this cave are looking up to you and cheering for you."

"You’ve earned the spirits’ admiration, Level: nine stars."

"You’ve earned the Heroic Spirits’ admiration, Level: ten stars."

"Numerous Heroic Spirits flock around the little girl’s Guardian Spirit, deciding together to stand with you against the One-eyed Giant."

"This book has resonated with all Heroic Spirits."

"They are about to appear!"

Next to Wu Xiaode, a series of blurry figures gradually became clear.
