Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 1003 - 470 Conquer or Be Conquered?_3

"That’s true." Nangong Sirui nodded in agreement.

"So I’m not too keen on acting together with her," Shen Ye said.

——The truth cannot be revealed.

Not a single flaw can be exposed.

The more genuine Nangong Sirui and Zhang Xiaoyi’s behavior is, the safer their situation becomes.

"I see, I understand now."

Nangong Sirui relaxed.

"Is it safe to let just the two of them go exploring?" Shen Ye asked.

"Don’t worry, the first half of the Dwarf Demon Palace is safe. They’re just going to see if there are any other explorers inside—Zhang Xiaoyi knows his limits, he won’t be reckless,"

Nangong Sirui said.

The two chatted casually.

But they couldn’t see that Su Su was standing right behind them.

After listening to their conversation, Su Su, expressionless, flashed backward and suddenly disappeared.

Ahead.

Inside Dusk Star.

At the corner of a path.

She suddenly appeared and hurriedly apologized to Zhang Xiaoyi:

"Sorry, got delayed going to the restroom."

"No problem, let’s go." Zhang Xiaoyi said.

The two of them explored for a while and found no other explorers, so they took out their identification cards to contact Nangong Sirui and Shen Ye outside.

"No one in the safe zone."

Zhang Xiaoyi’s voice sounded from the card.

"Then wait where you are, we’ll be there soon, and then we can explore the dangerous area together," Nangong Sirui said.

"Alright, waiting for you."

Before the words were finished, a sudden indistinct noise came from the card.

Su Su screamed.

"Go!"

The two of them stowed away the card and rushed into Dusk Star immediately.

Everything here was very familiar.

Shen Ye even ran ahead of Nangong Sirui.

Soon.

The two reached a hall.

Zhang Xiaoyi was seen hanging by an iron chain.

Su Su was covered in burning flames, preventing any enemy from approaching.

In the hall stood five or six short gray humanoid creatures.

They only reached Shen Ye’s waist and wielded sharp little knives, baring their teeth and brandishing.

In an instant.

Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui were immobilized.

Truth suppression!

"Damn, what technique did they use, I can’t move!"

Nangong Sirui said.

Shen Ye glanced at those gray dwarves but felt something was off.

A faint light appeared, forming two lines of prompts:

"You are under Truth First Rank field suppression."

"Source: Su Su."

——It’s the Parasitic Empress suppressing everyone!

Why?

Shen Ye’s thoughts raced, but he saw a gray dwarf charging at him——

The monster wasn’t affected by the truth suppression!

Is this to use the monster’s hand to kill us?

In a flash.

Shen Ye suddenly began to sing loudly:

"Come! Come! You are a pineapple!"

——Timed entry: Artist!

The killing intent on the gray dwarf’s face vanished, it threw away the knife, rolled on the ground, shook a few times, and then stayed still.

Beside it, another dwarf kicked it and shouted:

"What are you doing!"

The dwarf hurriedly shushed: "Quiet, I’m a pineapple."

Shen Ye sang again:

"Let’s all come together, everyone be a pineapple!"

The gray dwarves squatted together, meekly and motionlessly.

——No one attacked!

Then, could the suppressive power have appeared out of nowhere?

It makes no sense!

Instantly.

Su Su had no choice but to release the truth suppression.

Nangong Sirui moved his physique and immediately went to rescue Zhang Xiaoyi, while Shen Ye drew his knife and walked towards those dwarves.

"Let me."

Su Su stopped him, waved her other hand.

Boundless flames descended from the sky.

The pineapples were roasted.

"That was really dangerous earlier; luckily you saved me." Su Su looked at Shen Ye with an inexplicable expression.

Shen Ye became extremely alert.

He glanced at the "Artist" entry, seeing that half an hour was left.

——With this entry guarding, at least the next half hour is safe!

Wait——

Suddenly, lines of tiny glowing words appeared:

"The Parasitic Empress has contacted you again."

"The current ’blood’ entry ’Blood Worker’ has disappeared, no new entry has formed yet."

"——She is deciding."

Girl Su Su turned around, warmly holding Shen Ye’s hand, saying:

"Brother Shen Ye, when we get back, would you help me with a favor?"

"I usually don’t help others casually." Shen Ye frowned.

Quickly, the small glowing words appeared:

"Your new entry is about to appear, it will be ’Blood Seed’."

Shen Ye suddenly tightened his grip on the girl’s hand, gazed into her eyes, and in a gentle and soft voice said:

"But you are a comrade in our team, I will help you."

"Really?" the girl asked innocently.

"It’s just a small thing, contact me when the time comes." Shen Ye said generously.

"Great!"

The girl jumped up joyfully.

Another two lines of glowing words quietly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

"The other party has changed her mind."

"Your new entry has changed from ’Blood Seed’ to ’Blood Emperor’."

Shen Ye barely had time to wipe the cold sweat from his back as he turned to Zhang Xiaoyi and Nangong Sirui.

"How did you get caught?" he asked.

"I couldn’t move at all—thought we could conquer these dwarf demons, but it was close." Zhang Xiaoyi sighed.

"Yeah." Shen Ye agreed, also sighing.

To conquer or be conquered?

That is the question.
