1350 Emergency (1/2)

”There isn't!”

The System's reply was blunt and straightforward.

It had answered in an apathetic voice like a slick scoundrel.

”He, he, trash!” Xu Que sneered coldly. He also adopted an aloof attitude and just exited the System's interface!

Xu Que had expected this outcome, because if the System had really been able to help him hide from this crisis, he would have used it long ago when he faced danger.

After all, Version 10.0 was too weak, and it couldn't keep up with his current needs in many different situations.

SIGH! ”After I figure out what I'm doing, I must make use of most of my time to gain more Acting Tough Points. If I can raise the system's version in the 40-plus days I have left, then I will raise my odds of success,” Xu Que said to himself.

The current situation was similar to the movie ”Final Destination”. Xu Que had learned about the danger in advance, yet it was still difficult for him to change the final outcome and escape from the Grim Reaper.

The sole difference was that in the movie, the protagonist got to know in advance the danger he would face in detail, but Xu Que didn't get such a privilege. The only thing he knew was that he was supposed to die in 40-plus days.

TSK! TSK! TSK! ”I must take advantage of this time to promote the System and raise my power. Moreover, since I have the two souls, I don't believe that there is anyone able to kill me.” Xu Que squinted his eyes, while a starry ray flashed past his black pupils.

”What? Something is amiss.” All of a sudden, Xu Que felt dazed, and he had an idea. He summoned the System interface once again, and, getting lost in his thoughts, his gaze fell upon the Firestorm Wheels.

Currently, it seemed as if the only people able to kill him were probably those two souls.

After all, he wasn't the descendant of the two souls, as he had led them to believe, and everything with them had been just a misunderstanding from the beginning. It was a marvelous misunderstanding!

”I think I must guard against them,” Xu Que muttered to himself.

.....

Buttface quickly managed to find some clues about the hidden entrance of the valley.

”I remember it. The entrance was there through an ancient tree,” Buttface pointed at a vacant region near them and spoke excitedly. ”But that ancient tree has already been dug out and taken away by me, while the whole area within the mountain has been exposed. Now, it has surely been destroyed. Ha, ha, ha!”

”F*ck!”

Xu Que promptly rolled up his sleeves, and he was about to charge at Buttface to beat him up.

But Duan Jiude quickly stopped Xu Que. ”Lad, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! It's too good for him to get just a beating. Tonight, we must make a stew of dog meat.”

”That's also acceptable, give me a knife.” Xu Que extended his hand.

As a rumbling sound echoed, Duan Jiude handed over a kitchen knife to Xu Que. Then he wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, while a delighted smile appeared on his face.

”F*ck! F*ck! What do you want to do? Don't come over here, I have practiced...”

When Buttface saw Xu Que coming at him with the knife, he was frightened, and he shouted loudly, before turning around and escaping. He ran toward the forest nearby.

Xu Que didn't bother chasing Buttface, and he threw the knife at Duan Jiude, before saying, ”We don't have a lot of time, so we must look around this area.”

As a matter of fact, Xu Que wasn't any longer as motivated to find the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines as before.

Originally, he had planned to depend upon the two souls to rule the Heaven Continent and do whatever pleased him here.

But the prediction made him come back to his senses and warned him of something. Leaving those two souls next to him wasn't any different than living next to a time bomb. If they discovered that Xu Que wasn't really their descendant, they might kill him.

This was an extremely dangerous matter, and just the thought of it was terrifying.
