#170 - Chapter 170 Time that cannot be changed

There's another squid over there!

Qi Jing's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of another black squid hidden in the shadows on a different rock, its eyes fixed on this spot.

It was the one who discovered Uncle Gou's hiding place!

Raising his sword, Qi Jing slashed at the squid.

But it was like hitting the hardest object in the world; no matter how Qi Jing swung, he couldn't harm it in the slightest.

"Little Qi, no need to cut, the past can't be changed."

Gou Dehao's voice was so low it was almost inaudible, like autumn rain quietly falling on damp cement, silent and unseen.

Qi Jing also realized he was in a memory and helplessly lowered his sword.

This squid was going back.

The longer it stayed out, the greater the chance of being discovered.

Qi Jing followed behind Gou Dehao, Gou Dehao followed behind it, no, him.

He passed through layers of stone slabs, dense fine sand, past deserted small lakes, and solitary trees.

Gou Dehao's heart was filled with reluctance; how he wished his son could walk a little slower, even just a little.

This was a road leading to death!

Gou Dehao's hand stretched out slightly, as if wanting to grab his son, but he ultimately retracted it.

His eyes had become moist sometime without him noticing.

He watched his son disappear again into that narrow crevice, that existence which, in his eyes, was as terrifying as an abyss.

No matter how much Gou Dehao wanted to keep him, how much he wanted to stop him, he still gradually disappeared into the crevice.

Gou Dehao stared intently at that crevice, his heart filled with endless sorrow and helplessness.

Suddenly, he plopped down on a rock, his spine, which had been straight for so long, now bent.

As a socially awkward person, Qi Jing didn't know what to do now; he just stood there blankly, afraid that any sound he made would cause the old man's buried grief to burst forth.

"Little Qi, come sit for a while."

Gou Dehao patted the rock beside him.

Qi Jing tiptoed over.

"Take a swig."

Gou Dehao opened the wine gourd and held it out to Qi Jing.

Qi Jing grabbed the wine gourd and took a big gulp.

It didn't taste good, not good at all.

"Tell me, why did my son awaken such an ability?

Even awakening an ability to enjoy every meal would be better than this; he just knows how to run outside all day, never letting anyone rest easy.

How dangerous are those alien territories; he just likes to drill into them alone, such a small crack, I really don't know how he manages to squeeze in.

If it were me, I'd pee into it and drown them all!

And explore, explore my ass!

And steal stones, does he need to steal them? Those stones are so powerful, would they dare to blow them up, would they!

And you, you damn thing, going out to pee and actually running into my son, is that something you're allowed to run into!"

Saying that, Gou Dehao punched at the messenger squid, which was drilling into the crevice.

But Gou Dehao's fist seemed to be on another layer, not affecting it in the slightest.

"Damn it, f***!"

Gou Dehao grabbed the wine gourd and took a big gulp.

"F***ing alien world, f***ing squid, f***ing ability, f***ing wine is really f***ing hard to drink!

..."

After cursing for a long time, Gou Dehao sat back down on the rock, looking at the sun on the horizon.

"Little Qi, sometimes I really envy you guys, having all sorts of fancy life-saving gadgets, even if you die, you can teleport back.

It's a pity, my son was born twenty years too early, he didn't catch up with the good times, his son got it all.

You remember, without life-saving stuff, don't go to dangerous places, if you die, it will only make your family sad.

If you die, you won't be able to see such a big sun, if you die, you won't be able to see those seventeen moons, and you won't be able to see birds swimming in the water, and fish running on the ground.

If you die, you'll have nothing, truly nothing.

He died so simply, leaving behind a son, annoying me every day.

He has the guts to leave him but not the guts to raise him!

I raised his son so well, can he see it, can he! F***!

Speaking of which, Mo Laogou is more unlucky than me, I still have a grandson, he has nothing left.

But he snatches my grandson every day, making it seem like the dog is closer to him than to me, f***!

..."

Qi Jing listened to the old man's rambling on the rock beside him, until the sun was about to set.

Suddenly, a light white squid with black spots darted out of the crevice from before, suddenly turning into a pale-faced young man, limping and running outwards.

Then, a large pile of squid poured out of the crevice, all as black as ink.

Their attack methods, in addition to spraying ink and then exploding, also allowed them to absorb liquids with their tentacles.

Gou Tianchen had almost been sucked dry by them in the crevice before he escaped.

The squid he disguised as only had their appearance, but not their abilities, otherwise he could have used explosive ink to collapse the entire cave.

But after leaving the cave, those squid no longer had the restriction on using explosive ink.

They frantically spewed ink at Gou Tianchen, and then detonated it.

Until Gou Tianchen only had half his body and one arm left.

Then, those squid slowly crawled onto his face, and began to suck ruthlessly.

Until his entire head was covered by the squid's tentacles, Gou Dehao came back to his senses.

"Xiao Chen, we helped you get revenge, got revenge."

His lips trembled, his voice low and hoarse.

His eyes were filled with tears, but they never fell.

His hands hung down weakly, as if all his strength had been drained at this moment.

He wanted to step forward and hug that fragmented body, but he didn't dare to, afraid that he would collapse at this moment.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his face full of helplessness and regret, as if wondering why he couldn't protect his child, why such a tragedy had happened.

At this moment, he was no longer the drunken old man who liked to bet with others, but just a fearful, heartbroken, and helpless father.

Suddenly, the whole world flashed with a bright light, splitting open the piles of squid in front of him, and also splitting open this world.

That feeling of weightlessness appeared again in Qi Jing's mind.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a white room.

"Good evening, student Qi Jing."

"Fangsheng, how are you feeling now?"

Gou Yigou and Tan Zuoyin appeared in his vision, Qi Jing wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't control his body.

"The Time Jellyfish on your body has just been removed, and it will take a few minutes to regain movement, I apologize on behalf of my grandfather, he put you in danger."

"He said it's okay, he also wanted to fish himself, no need to apologize."

Although Qi Jing couldn't speak, Tan Zuoyin could hear Qi Jing's thoughts.

"Thank you!"

Gou Yigou bowed to him, then walked to the adjacent hospital bed.

Looking at the old man who hadn't opened his eyes yet, he sighed, then took a chair and put it next to the hospital bed, sitting on it waiting for his grandfather to wake up.
