Li Aozi's heart was stirred, and he vaguely understood something. He asked nonchalantly:

"Something more?"

"Hmm... more human-like." Caramel Snail laughed cheekily.

"Get lost, you jerk." Li Aozi raised his middle finger, with a fleeting sense of relief in his eyes.

[What do you mean by more human-like? After the battle with Xides, the divine part belonging to Leoz was all packed into a DLC. This is a kind of risk transfer method, to avoid putting all the eggs in one basket.]

[Even if one day the Tyrant Leoz is defeated, I can still abandon this human part to escape—vice versa.]

Of course, precisely because all of Leoz's divinity has been lost, the current Li Aozi is even more human-like than when he first arrived.

Li Aozi pretended to be displeased and said:

"Let's not talk about those trivial matters. Let's chat about serious topics—what happened to Glina, that woman?"

"She's dead." Caramel Snail said.

"I know." Li Aozi was speechless: "But I'm asking you, do you think light can be killed?"

"But she died." Caramel Snail said bitterly: "Why, I don't know, I know the Radiant Dragon is just a beam of light, but why did it die? Why? Why did it just die? I don't understand, I really don't understand..."

Li Aozi tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Compared to Gio Zieou, who has many shrewd ideas, Caramel Snail is still that silly Niuniu, with almost no ill intentions. His bowed head questioning himself didn't seem feigned.

In other words, he really didn't know what had happened to Glina.

"I roughly learned about your situation on the way here." Li Aozi glanced at Caramel Snail's panel, raised an eyebrow: "Damn, dude, how did you hit Lambda (11) too?"

"Ah, at first I accidentally fell into the hunting grounds of a wild Crying-Blood Darkbird, but thanks to Glina's guidance, I managed to kill it beyond my level. The experience given was ample, and with the subsequent tasks I did one after another, it turned out like this."

Caramel Snail wasn't hiding anything, even pulling out two strange feathers:

"This is a drop item—Feather of the Lost, level 240 material, but I don't have a secondary profession, so it's useless to me."

Li Aozi took one look and blurted out:

"I suggest you wait until you find Severston in the future, and have him make you a sword tassel. It can eliminate the wind resistance factor when a weapon chops."

"Okay." Caramel Snail nodded, put away the feathers, suddenly realizing something, and asked: "Speaking of which, True General, are you on good terms with Severston?"

"Considered a rare friend, I suppose."

Li Aozi said:

"Apart from Severston, there aren't many people I can call a friend."

"I see, looks like I really helped out by introducing you."

"Exactly."

Li Aozi shook the teapot, spread out a soundproof field scroll from his bosom, and formally asked:

"Where is Glina now?"

"I buried her on a mountain, but don't worry, I placed a monitoring crystal, so I can check on her anytime."

Caramel Snail said, pulling out a tablet from his bosom, looked at the information on it, and said:

"Everything in front of the grave is fine."

"Autopsy, cause of death, time, before and after events." Li Aozi said: "Glina is very useful to us, so we can't just let her die like this... Besides, I feel she doesn't seem dead."

"Indeed, it's as you said..."

Caramel Snail nodded:

"I did some dissection, but I couldn't understand the body structure of the Dragon Race, just felt like life force was half exhausted, all organs were intact, just suddenly like out of power, stopped functioning, even the body's decay resistance failed, not long after, Glina started to rot, now she's become a Giant..."

"As for the cause of death, it is really unknown, I searched for many reasons before and after, but just couldn't find a wound, nor any damage marks... Body was healthy like a little cow, no, anyway, that's the idea, you get me."

"As for the time, it was half a month ago, about 4 hours after we had just descended to Border Abyss."

"4 hours?" Li Aozi suddenly caught the key point: "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure." Caramel Snail nodded: "Because I fell with her, when Glina had the accident, the livestream channel hadn't been cut off, according to the livestream market, it was 4 hours into Border Abyss."

"Hmm..."

Li Aozi nodded.

4 hours.

This number happens to be the time he exited the dream after face-to-face interaction with Redd Gold.

Unlike Caramel Snail who deduced it backwards, Li Aozi had a habit of timing himself, trying to arrange for himself an orderly, busy and fulfilling day.

Is it a coincidence?

No, considering it's Redd Gold, it's definitely not a coincidence.

4 hours.

It means that just after Li Aozi talked with Redd, confirmed the alliance, and Redd descended to the realm, Glina immediately died suddenly.

"I think, I roughly understand." Li Aozi nodded: "I know how to solve this, you can rest assured, Glina is not really dead, or rather, not to the point of 'perishing'. At the right time, I have a way to resurrect Glina."

"I understand."

Caramel Snail was touched by Li Aozi's confident attitude, nodded, and sighed:

"It's still you, True General—so when are we going to resurrect Glina?"

"Resurrect? Are you so eager to run around the streets with a ticking time bomb?"

Li Aozi shook his head:

"Don't bother for now, it's a bit complicated. On the other hand… Dude, are you interested in doing something big?"

"Something big?" Caramel Snail scratched his head: "Did you trigger the main quest?"

"Not a main quest, but it'll surely be rewarding."

Li Aozi pulled out the phalanx of the Rock Ghost from his bosom, placed it on the table, and smiled slightly:

"Jiaozi Niu player, are you interested in slaying a god?"

[Doomspeaker] Qixi Lei prevents him from reviving, indeed a bit tricky.

If so, then change the perspective.

The main account has already been corpse-camped, so now there's no distinction between main and alternate accounts, just switch entirely to the alternate one, and level up the True General.

Li Aozi, aiming for a speedrun of "Thousand-Mile Rock Mountain Thousand-Mile Tower".

As an SS-level quest, the experience is extremely abundant, enough to push the True General's account to Cauchy Rank (14), and needless to say, the key item of the Holy Beast Rock Ghost is also in his hands.

If by then, he can also add Caramel Snail as a fighting force.

[Player] Senator Plyer, to encourage cooperation among people, stipulated that in "Starry Abyss", tasks completed by two people would also count as double experience.

This way, Caramel Snail can also become Cauchy Rank combat power.

By then: Rock Ghost, True General, Caramel Snail.

Such combat power is enough to take down Qixi Lei—but it's still not enough.

Redd certainly won't be satisfied with just this bit of revenge. To shut her mouth, the best way is to stuff it full with good news, so she's too satisfied to speak.

Therefore, Li Aozi decided not just to fast-track one SS-level quest.

He wants to take Caramel Snail, go to the Great Liang Dynasty, complete the Third Ascension Quest for the True General, and also speedrun another secret realm. The aim is to gather enough reinforcements to confront the [Epic Society] behind Qixi Lei.

To be exact, it's not confrontation.

If all these series of tasks are completed, then Chairman Qixi Lei will become a living joke.

"Throughout the ages, spanning electronic sports and real battlefield, the best tactic—swap homes!"

You guard my body, but even if the body is dead, the "Lai Anding Medical Protocol" is still there, not hindering the progression of pathway fusion.

In the past, because of the maternal aunt's presence, didn't dare to let loose...

But now, after all dead is dead, might as well let the aunt bloodbath the steppe, creating more refugees.

And Li Aozi, can use this time to completely build the True General into a powerful top Martial Artist of the Dragon Faction.

"Operation Code: F91."

Li Aozi showed a gentle smile:

"It's about time to let Border Abyss witness the true power (background) of us players."
