Chapter 292: Life or Death
"Because of this legend, many people think that the combination of humans and monsters can gain stronger power. Tell me, if a person who is extremely eager to become stronger knows this, what will he do?"
Long Qing's evil eyes gave Yun Wu a chill.
"Could it be that someone thought of a way..."
Yun Wu didn't finish her sentence, she felt that the person who did that must be a lunatic.
"It is said that a long time ago, there was a hidden family that used all the power of the whole family to capture a ninth-level monster. And, they selected the most powerful clansman to combine with the ninth-level monster."
After Yun Wu heard this, she was speechless.
Capturing and imprisoning the ninth-level monsters, that hermit family really has a strong foundation and strength!
"Soon, the first child with the blood of a monster was born in the family. However, something unexpected happened to them. The combination of man and beast actually has many hidden dangers and defects in the child born, and, moreover, The important point is that, for some unknown reason, once humans and beasts combine, they will be cursed."
Plant a curse?
This made Yun Wu astonished.
It was the first time I heard this saying when I came to another world.
Long Qingxie changed his posture, and continued: "All the children born in that family after that have part of the ability of that ninth-level monster, but they have to drink the blood of the high-level monster for a long time to survive, otherwise, they will die." aging and dying in a short time."
After hearing this, Yun Wu asked in confusion, "Just drink the beast's blood? What kind of curse can it be broken so easily?"
"Of course not. At first, that family thought so too. But what happened later made them understand that they were all wrong." Having said that, Long Qingxie paused.
"That curse has just begun. After the women of that family give birth to their children, they will gradually develop the desire to eat the flesh and blood of their own children. Even if the child is sent thousands of miles away, the mother will try to find it, and Eat and eat. And even the inherited bloodline agrees with a similar situation, and in the end, there are very few surviving descendants of that family."
Eat it?
Yun Wu was so shocked by the curse that she was speechless.
But, who planted this curse? This is too vicious and weird, right?
"In addition to the children's mother who wants to devour them, there are also some humans who know their abilities and hunt them as monsters. After all, they do have the blood of a ninth-level monster."
Looking at the dancing flames of the oil lamp, Yun Wu asked Long Qingxie.
"Shangguan, are you a descendant of this family?"
Long Qingxie's expression was somewhat gloomy.
"That's right, Shangguan, they should be the descendants of that family. They inherited the eyes of that monster, and thus obtained some powers that do not belong to humans."
When Yun Wu heard the words, new doubts appeared in her heart. She asked Long Qingxie: "But, how did you know his identity?"
"Little thing, my husband knows a lot more than you, otherwise, how will my husband protect you?"
Long Qingxie stretched out his hand and tapped Yun Wu's forehead, the movement was intimate and natural, very much like the movements a pair of lovers are used to.
Yun Wu pushed Long Qingxie's hand away, stepped back, and left the position within Long Qingxie's reach.
"Since they have inherited such a strange power, why should they be so timid? Just now he knew that your power was damaged, but he ran away like a frightened rabbit. Isn't that too unreasonable?"
To this, Long Qingxie just smiled, and replied: "What they have inherited is not the fighting power of monsters against the sky, but just those eyes. They are a family that has been on the run for a long time, and they have been watching their own eyes since they were young." His peers are devoured by their parents, and their eyes are caught and gouged out by strangers, and of course they will be extremely afraid of people who see his identity."
Yun Wu sighed, unable to tell whether she felt sympathy for Shangguan or what.
What is the purpose of living such a life?
Yun Wu noticed that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and turned to say: "Let's not talk about this, do you think they can find the Five Poison Stone in time?"
Long Qingxie was naturally unhappy that Yun Wu might mention another man all the time. He glanced at the drooping curtain, and the corner of his mouth curled up cruelly.
"Even if they find the Five Poison Stones, they are still unable to hunt and kill the monsters attracted by the Five Poison Stones. At that time, Nangong Yi will still die."
"The required magical beast is higher level than the snow demon wolf or the man-eating snake?"
Long Qingxie rested one hand on the back of his head leisurely, dragging out the tone lazily.
"The man-eating snakes that are close to it can be attracted to rush over on the periphery, let alone in a place that is close to the depths of the monster forest. There are many fourth-order snakes, and it is not uncommon for fifth-order snakes, and there must be more than one. "
Yun Wu couldn't help but fell silent. She thought it was impossible, so she took out her Five Poison Stone to save Nangong Yi once.
Unexpectedly, things turned out to be so difficult.
Even with the five poisonous stones, there is still no way to deal with the monsters that are attracted by that time.
There was a messy sound of horseshoes outside the tent, and Yun Wu stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, and saw Ling An jumping off the animal horse and running towards the tent they were in.
Ling An shouted to Yun Wu from a distance: "Xiao Wu, call Long Si quickly, and follow me!"
Yun Wu stood in front of the tent, showing no intention of moving. She waited for Ling An to approach before asking indifferently.
"What do you want us to do?"
"It's time to find the Five Poison Stones. Shangguan said he would bring you with him." Ling An was sweating, and he didn't know whether it was hot or anxious.
There was a sound of felt rubbing behind Yun Wu, and Long Qingxie came out of the tent, looking at Ling An with a half-smile.
"Did he say we're going?"
Ling An never liked Long Qingxie from the beginning to the end, he pointed at Long Qingxie and said angrily: "You guys should do something after taking the money!"
If there were other people in the camp, they would have obediently obeyed Ling An's orders and followed them to take risks.
It's a pity that Long Qingxie is doomed not to follow him.
"As far as I know, everyone here is given a mission to go out to find the Five Poison Stones. However, the Shangguan asked you to come and call us brothers, not just to find the Five Poison Stones, right?"
Long Qingxie's eyes looking at Ling An seemed to be equipped with layers of blades, which could cut off all the illusions Ling An had made up and peel off the original appearance of the matter.
Ling An felt uncomfortable being watched by Long Qingxie, and he said with a little confidence: "Shangguan did say that after finding the five poisonous stones, he still needs to capture monsters to obtain the ingredients for refining medicine. With the two of you at that time, we will It's safer."
Long Qingxie snorted from his nose, and his posture revealed a little arrogance that did not belong to the image of the Orion.
"You guys want to deceive us like this for a mission we didn't take over? You really deserve to be the people who were trained by Nangong Yijiao, and they all have no credibility at all."
"If you want to scold me, scold me, why bring my young master?" Ling An opened his eyes suddenly, and raised his voice to refute, as if Long Qingxie's words scolded his family tree.
What Long Qingxie disliked the most was these people's god-worshiping attitude towards Nangong Yi. He lifted the curtain of the tent and turned back, not even bothering to pay attention to Ling An who was still jumping.
Seeing that Long Qingxie refused in person, Ling An had no choice but to lower the platform to Yun Wu instead.
"Xiao Wu, will you go with us?"
Yun Wu glanced at the silent tent, Long Qingxie basically has no ability to protect himself now, if she goes, what will Long Qingxie do?
Although she owed Nangong Yi, she gradually understood in her heart that it was not as important as this man's safety.
Ling An wanted to persuade Yun Wu a few more words, but Long Qingxie put on a coat and came out again.
Both Ling An and Yun Wu didn't realize it, why did Long Qingxie suddenly want to go with them to save Nangong Yi?
Long Qingxie said to Ling An impatiently: "What are you waiting for, don't hurry up and leave."
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there now!"
Ling An naturally wouldn't care about why Long Qingxie changed his attitude, but now he was afraid that if he asked a few more questions, this arrogant Long Si would simply go back on his word!
"Little thing, why are you in a daze, why don't you leave?"
"you……"
Yun Wu originally wanted to ask about his behavior, but in the end she remained silent.
...
However, on the way to meet Shangguan, Yun Wu approached Long Qingxie on a beast horse, and whispered a few words of concern to him.
"You are in such a physical condition, why do you still come out?"
"Although you are a little boy who refuses to talk about it, you are not stupid as a husband. I can ignore the kindness between you and Nangong Yi for the time being. I can't let you deal with them alone! If something happens to you, who will Come to compensate me for being the most vicious, black and ruthless lady?"
Long Qingxie was sitting steadily on the beast horse. If Yunwu hadn't seen the sweat dripping down his black hair from the side, she would almost have mistakenly thought that Long Qingxie was very healthy now.
Although Long Qingxie had his usual indecent smile on his face when he said this, the content was even more like telling a joke to Yun Wu.
But Yun Wu, who knew Long Qingxie's physical condition, was still inexplicable, so she couldn't bear it.
Yun Wu endured it, and said to Long Qingxie: "Why don't you go back first, I will be fine, even if something happens, I can always protect myself."
Long Qingxie turned his head to look at Yun Wu, as if he had discovered a new continent, his black eyes were full of shining stars.
"Little thing, do you say that because you are reluctant to suffer for your husband?"
Yun Wu's ears warmed up, and only then did he realize what his thoughts meant.
She immediately held the rein and looked at the road ahead without looking sideways, and said stiffly: "I just think that it's too troublesome for me to help you collect the body out of love after you die."
"Don't worry, I don't want you to work hard for my husband. Even if I am going to die, I will find a grave and jump into it first."
Long Qingxie talked about life and death very easily, as if in his eyes, life or death was just a joke.
