Novel Bin Chapter 649 Golden Crow Swallows The Sun (4)
The sun's remains spasmed like it was alive.
Rumbling sounds appeared in the surroundings. When the blurry and distorted intent became even more obvious, an earth-shattering heatwave erupted from Xu Qing's body. As it rumbled and spread in all directions, the expression of the old man from the Painting Race changed drastically and he quickly retreated, looking at Xu Qing in surprise.
Xu Qing's expression didn't change at all but a large number of golden patterns appeared on his face.
These patterns spread from the totemic tattoo on his back to his entire body.
The astonishing power from the sun's remains continued to gather toward Xu Qing as the Golden Crow crazily absorbed it.
The void shook and the ground showed signs of churning. The fog above also transformed into a vortex with a shocking aura.
Xu Qing's heart raced. Through the excitement and desire transmitted by the Golden Crow, he understood that this was an enormous opportunity for him.
However, he needed time. This was a huge feast for the Golden Crow, and it would take a lot of time to consume the gigantic flesh of the sun.
This scene also caused the painting old man and the head that had finally gotten the stone lion out to gasp. However, the latter's exclamation felt a little fake.
"Absorbing the flesh of the sun…" As the painting old man mumbled, his eyes revealed a strange glint.
"Back then, at D132, I felt that the fluctuations on the Lord Guardian's body were extraordinary. I didn't expect it to be related to the sun!!"
"I understand now. Sir, you heard that the god's finger is searching for the sun's remains here, so you deliberately came here to let the god's finger take the initiative to bring you over, right?"
"But how did you know that I would trick the god's finger into capturing people? I get it, it is very easy to explain. After so many years, the sun's corpse must have lost its vitality, and the way to replenish its vitality is naturally life!"
"That's right, that's it!"
"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
"Sir, I admire your ability to scheme against the god. I understand now. That's why you said that I made a contribution earlier. Yes, I truly did!"
"Sir, since you can deduce this, you must have a way to escape. There's no mistake!"
The more the painting old man spoke, the more excited he became.
The head blinked and confusion appeared in its eyes.
Ever since Xu Qing ascended Mount Morning Glow, he and the stone lion were enveloped by the shadow. When they appeared later, they saw Xu Qing poisoning the canyon. After that, the god's finger arrived. Hence, they didn't know what happened during this period of time.
At that moment, when it heard the old man's words, the head shook. It suddenly felt that what the old man said made sense. Otherwise, why would Xu Qing not go to the battlefield during war but come to this Morning Glow Province?
However, it vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Xu Qing's expression was calm without the slightest fluctuation of emotions. As he absorbed the power of the sun's remains with all his might, his gaze swept past the old man and his head.
He automatically ignored the head. However, Xu Qing was a little puzzled by the painting old man. The other party's cooperation was too perfect, to the point that it seemed like a self-guided performance from start to finish.
Even if a drowning person was anxious to survive, they would not do this.
While Xu Qing was pondering, the old man knelt down excitedly.
"Lord Guardian, please save me on account of me reminding you conscientiously in D132 and on account of my contribution this time."
"That evil finger asked me to draw a body for it, but I didn't dare to. After I finish drawing, it will definitely eat me. I can feel its hunger, so I used the excuse that the corpse lacks vitality and can't become paint. I've been delaying for a long time."
Xu Qing coldly looked at the old man but couldn't see any clues from his expression. There was nothing wrong with all his expressions and words.
However, Xu Qing didn't believe that this matter would be so simple.
This was especially so when he swept his gaze across the flesh of the sun. The large number of nonhumans were no longer wailing but had completely melted and absorbed by the sun's corpse.
These were all scammed to death by the painting old man in order to survive.
However, since the other party was so cooperative, Xu Qing had no reason to expose him. He needed time. On one hand, he wanted to absorb the sun's remains. On the other hand, he wanted to wait for the finger to return again.
Regardless of whether there was a problem with the old man or not, he couldn't let the other party take the initiative here. The opportunity to seize the initiative was the moment the finger returned.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing calmly spoke.
"I need time."
