#343 - Chapter 343 The Impending Doom
"Um, should we head back first?"
Drawing a Black Death bacterium was already bad luck enough, but how did I also draw misfortune?
Could it be that something even more unlucky is about to happen?
A divine thunderbolt from the sky, an earth-shattering landslide, the advent of the Tree Realm, an overwhelming flood, or perhaps the legendary top-tier exotic beasts, the Time Whale King, the Mirage Current King, and the Profound Heavy Water Crystal King, are about to attack?
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.
These are all big shots who can easily bring down entire archipelagos with a single move. If there were any signs, an ability user like Senior Fang Jun, who can foresee danger, would have already issued a warning.
So what could it be?
It can't be that the next lottery draw will be even worse, and I'll draw something that can instantly kill me, right?
Combining it with the bacterium I just drew, Qi Jing feels that this possibility is very, very high.
Xiao Xin heard about the effect of this crow and saw Qi Jing's worried look, and asked:
"What's wrong? Are you afraid to draw?"
"I am afraid."
Qi Jing very earnestly spoke the truth in his heart:
"I'm really scared of drawing something that can wipe us all out. Who knows what misfortune this dead crow represents."
When it's time to admit defeat, admit defeat. When it's time to be afraid, be afraid.
If this were an ordinary world without martial power, or a low-martial-arts world, Qi Jing might have been bold enough to continue drawing. After all, no matter how strong a misfortune is, it's just that.
But this isn't the case now. If he really brings out something that can be called misfortune in this world of abilities, it must be something that they can't solve.
At least, it would definitely be difficult to solve for Qi Jing, because this is the misfortune he drew.
"Perhaps, it's not your misfortune. Maybe it's for all of humanity."
Si Kong Yaoyao was quite optimistic. Anyway, if there is any crisis, it is impossible for her, a small character, to change anything. It is better to let go of those worries that are beyond her ability.
She waved her hand:
"Alien invasion, asteroid impact, global pneumonia, disintegration of the earth, all are possible. Compared to that, your lottery is nothing."
What a demeaning way to relieve anxiety.
But hearing her say that, Qi Jing began to worry that it wasn't a misfortune exclusive to him:
"Wouldn't that be even worse? Since there is only one misfortune, if I don't have it here, it will definitely befall the group I belong to.
Whether it's the identity of an ability user, or the identity of a countryman, or even humanity, any of them will cause a lot of casualties in the face of misfortune."
This is the misfortune he drew. If this misfortune befalls him, that's fine, but when it's related to others, Qi Jing will feel a sense of guilt.
It's like getting into trouble outside. He's both afraid of facing it, but even more afraid of letting the people who love him face it.
"Let's continue the lottery draw. It would be better for this misfortune to befall me here."
Qi Jing struggled for a long time and came to this conclusion.
Misfortune will definitely happen. Instead of letting it find someone else, he might as well bring it out himself first.
Xiao Xin waved his hand:
"Relax, you can't draw something that can kill us, can you? We're fully equipped with defensive gear, so draw with confidence."
"Aren't you afraid?" Qi Jing asked.
Anyway, he feels panicked right now.
How could a lottery draw something like this? It's about to give him a psychological shadow.
But no matter how scared he is, he has to face it himself.
Xiao Xin raised his chin:
"You're not afraid, so what are we afraid of?"
Little Yao Shishu nodded slightly.
Si Kong Yaoyao weakly raised her hand: "Um, I'm a little scared, are we really drawing here?"
"Senior, if you're afraid, then leave. Actually, I also want to leave, but I can't."
Qi Jing took out his portal, which could allow her to directly return to Bixiao City.
Si Kong Yaoyao looked at the portal, then looked at them:
"You're not leaving?"
Qi Jing looked at Tan Zuoyin, and was about to say to let her go back too, but when he saw her firm gaze, he couldn't say it.
"Yeah, we're not leaving."
"Then, I won't leave either. Put me in your space, I still want to give you a blessing. If my blessing directly covers your misfortune, then nothing will happen."
Si Kong Yaoyao was very strange. According to her previous action guide, she would not have chosen to stay.
Why would she make such a decision?
In order to keep the misfortune here, for the sake of all mankind? Is she that great?
Or is it because it's embarrassing for her idol to see her run away?
Never mind, why think so much.
"Blessing! This time it's the strongest blessing, you must not have an accident, quickly take me in."
"Yeah, I won't die."
After putting Si Kong Yaoyao into the space, everyone tightened the Reversal Rings on their hands, as well as the Return Charms attached to their bodies.
Then, Qi Jing began to draw the lottery, carefully timing it with the Secret Agent's occasional appearances every few seconds:
"Lottery draw!"
He looked at his palm vigilantly, ready to release the Burst Flame Technique at any time. If anything dangerous appeared, he would instantly destroy it.
But what he got was a chubby carrot.
Protect the Carrot: Has a high attraction to low-intelligence, vegetarian creatures, and will also induce them not to actively destroy buildings; disappears after being bitten ten times.
This, doesn't count as a misfortune, right?
Could it be that he can only draw misfortune when drawing for Little Yao Shishu?
"Lottery draw!"
Qi Jing's palm sizzled, ready to explode at any time.
But this time, what appeared was a piece of yellow paper, or more accurately, a yellow talisman.
Corpse Suppression Talisman: Suppresses the movements of zombies based on their strength; shelf life of 300 years.
Also not it, draw again.
"Lottery draw!"
A small, arm-sized, technologically advanced purple metal capsule appeared in Qi Jing's hand.
Elf Capsule (Vigorous Honey Badger): Inside is a sleeping elf "Vigorous Honey Badger". The first person to open it will awaken it and make it recognize them as its master; the capsule can be retrieved by touching it; it will slowly heal it inside the capsule; Vigorous Honey Badger exclusive capsule, cannot capture other animals.
emmmmm
This isn't misfortune either.
But since this elf doesn't recognize him as its master as soon as it's drawn, then he won't raise it.
Qi Jing feels that having Little Pi and Kabi is already enough, and any more wouldn't be good.
Giving it to Yan Cheng might be a good idea, he just happens to be missing a pet.
Looking at the name of this elf inside, it must be a very noisy guy, and the two of them together would definitely be very interesting.
"Lottery draw!"
Qi Jing always feels more nervous when drawing for Little Yao Shishu than for Little Xin Shishu. After all, one ability represents life, and the other ability represents death.
And death is always more dangerous.
The palm of his hand preparing to draw was already steaming.
That was because the faint flames produced by the Burst Flame Technique being ready to release were mixed with the sweat from his palm.
But this time, the Secret Agent didn't sense any danger either.
Annihilation Bomb x1: After detonation, it will annihilate the space within a one-meter radius from the point of detonation.
Good stuff, but still not misfortune.
"Lottery draw!"
