Capítulo 641: Chapter 623: Eyeball and Tongue
Oculus was well aware that the boss would inevitably pay attention, he just didn’t expect this attention to come so quickly, and moreover, to actively intervene.
After a round of conversation ended,
Oculus finally returned to the audience seats.
Perhaps it was due to not having had a one-on-one conversation with the boss for a long time, resulting in the surface of his eyes forming a large amount of dry crust, unbearably dry, he could only take out his portable eye drop bucket and gave himself a wash on the spot.
Just as his vision gradually cleared, strong cheers suddenly erupted around him.
Most of the nobles had already left their seats, standing up and cheering, extremely excited.
The myriad eyes of Oculus also looked towards the arena.
Only to see Luo Di, holding an iron rod, still standing there, having completed the second slaughter, gray hair fluttering.
Luo Di’s condition was somewhat different from the first match.
Currently, some substances covering his body were quickly retreating, retracting between the spines.
At the same time, he bent down to pick up a fallen metallic jaw from the ground, reinstalling it on himself.
And right in front of Luo Di,
The creature branded as the “Insect King,” who once had an extraordinary performance in the world war as the Great Demon, was now shattered all over the place, with his limbs almost scattered throughout the area.
The centipede-like spine was twitching slightly, unable to rise again.
Luo Di’s choice was still “not to kill,” and he whispered two sentences into the opponent’s ear.
Oculus softly commented:
“This guy, two matches in one day, complete victories, and the defeated are still the renowned Great Demon.
Could the growth from the Corner be this significant? No wonder the Hell Will is willing to let this guy go, specifically letting him stay in the Corner to develop… Or is the opportunity in the Corner truly more abundant than here?”
Oculus also stood up, extending his eyeball-covered hand, waving towards the arena.
This was no greeting; Luo Di, even if he didn’t want to look, his eyeballs would be forcibly attracted.
The indication given by the gaze was simple, to stop here.
Two matches in one day were entirely sufficient; he planned to give Luo Di an intensive lesson with the remaining time, even if only cramming in the end, it could at least slightly enhance the survival probability.
Luo Di, however, remained unmoved, likewise responding with a gaze – ‘I’ll fight one more match then leave.’ Google seaʀᴄh novęlfire.net
The hot blood inside him was already boiling, the atmosphere of the whole field had been stirred, he didn’t want to be interrupted suddenly.
After observing for a while, Oculus compromised, after all, the Overlord’s intervention was set for the last fifth match. As long as Luo Di’s state could still remain good, then let it continue.
Deep into the night, Chaos Nest City, Upper Spine District.
[Golden Spine. High-end Restaurant]
They should have closed, yet were forced to stay open due to the arrival of special patrons.
Even the senior chef rushed back from the nearby Pink House, got into the best state to prepare food.
Several golden-roasted spines were brought to the private room,
Luo Di gave a one-word evaluation, then continuously ate twenty whole spines, to the point his belly was bulging, only then did he slowly stop.
His body’s digestive ability was astounding, quickly converting all the eaten spines, compensating for all today’s battle consumption.
Luo Di worked straight from day to night, playing four full matches.
Although it exhausted basically every cell of his body, it did not harm the essence, just needed a good night’s rest to recover.
Oculus naturally appreciated this a lot, also wanting even more to protect Luo Di.
Unfortunately, all the methods he considered to indirectly alert about “danger” were impractical, as soon as he inclined towards disclosure, a white candle always appeared at the edge of his vision.
With no other options, Oculus could only conduct an urgent night training.
Unexpectedly, snoring came over.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Luo Di simply dozed off on the chair.
Oculus intended to wake him up and take him to his mansion to sleep.
But his vision soon deciphered Luo Di’s current state, seeming uncomfortable sleeping on a bench, yet his entire body was in a fully relaxed state, the body was in a state of high-speed recovery.
The special Old Spine at his back was pumping along with his breathing.
If this process were interrupted now, it would be detrimental for tomorrow’s competition.
He refrained from intervening, deeply fearing that something would happen to Luo Di during his sleep, or the Overlord might target him early, so Oculus contacted the manager of this restaurant, privately booked the entire private room.
Oculus himself was not a bit sleepy, the life in the Human World recently had cultivated a sort of “night owl ability.”
Feeling bored at the moment, he intended to closely observe this young man.
Although he had already seen through the essence of the spine, he had not closely examined the “inside” of Luo Di, the part belonging to the Corner System.
As his attention focused, as the invisible light beams between his eyes fell on the pituitary gland surface.
His consciousness actually arrived at the Moon’s surface.
The Corner System on the human side is already granting individuals a specialized [Consciousness Space] so early. With such a space as a foundation, the establishment of a kingdom is indeed much easier, no wonder he could already see the relevant outlines.
Wonder what kind of kingdom this kid could build, somewhat looking forward to it.
Is there some kind of smell… below?”
Oculus rolled down along the Moon Pit, infiltrating the Dungeon, reaching the deepest cultivation room.
At the moment of pushing open the door,
He instinctively entered battle mode, as the thing presented in front seemed to be about to chop him down.
Upon clearly seeing the threatening thing turned out to be just a small tree, Oculus also disarmed, curiously walked in.
He stepped onto the soil, approached the small tree, finding the plaque on it.
[NO.100 – Walking Hell’s Road]
“This taste almost catches up with mine… This kid can fuse different world systems to this extent, no wonder Hook likes him so much, no wonder he could win four matches in one go.
Tomorrow, he might indeed survive.”
Oculus was not merely here to visit, he also wanted to perform some little actions, intending to give Luo Di more means to survive tomorrow’s slaughter.
A human-sized eyeball separated from his face, landing in his palm.
He planned to secretly stuff it into this small tree, it wouldn’t be rooted for the long term, intended only for this competition.
Once over, he would immediately retrieve it.
After all, this was something not belonging to Luo Di, short-term use was fine, long-term grafting might hinder development.
Just as Oculus squatted down, intending to secretly insert the eyeball into the base of the tree trunk,
Ssssssh~ his hand was licked.
This licking was unlike normal, as if feeling countless soft hairs brushing past his hand back, saliva lingering, just like being marked.
This peculiarity forced Oculus to withdraw his hand, ablative light incinerating the saliva on it.
Even though the saliva was entirely vaporized away, he still felt uncomfortable, always felt as though a tongue was about to continue licking again.
This also made him recall the slaughter Luo Di had conducted today, indeed encountered several dangers, Luo Di would always click the tongue in his mouth.
And regardless of how severe the facial trauma, the tongue always maintained integrity.
As Oculus delved deeper into contemplating the “tongue,” as the recollection of that licking sensation… Snap!
A sound of tongue-clicking unexpectedly came from behind.
Thoughts interrupted,
Sharply turned around,
Countless eyes gazing at the slit of the cultivation room’s door, even though the door was closed, it opened a tiny crack.
There seemed to be a tongue-headed being, standing behind, secretly peeking inside.
Where the gaze reaches, is where one is.
Oculus transmitted himself to the point of focus, arriving outside the door, but nothing remained here, only a little saliva lingering on the door handle.
Smelling the fishy scent of the saliva,
Oculus roughly got an idea of the situation, no longer doing little tricks. Recalled the eyeball prepared for implantation, retreating from the plan.
“Seems like, in the Corner, there exists a [being] specialized in sensory organs, had given special training and guidance to Luo Di.
So with this, my eyeball appears somewhat redundant.
Fine~ If I cheat, it would also easily attract Overlord’s attention, let it be.”
In Vortex Town, Gust had suddenly stopped begging for a tongue at the Screaming Inn, stealthily hid in a corner, quietly licking something.
Like a lollipop, yet nearly like a crystal clear eyeball.
