Chapter 34: The Blood Demon Part I
The early morning at Crescent Manor is serene and quiet. www.biquge.info If you hadn't seen the mess in the woods, no one would have thought that there was a fierce battle here last night. Although the battle was long over, Lucia's heartbeat continued to rise, and she bowed her head red-faced.
Realizing that she seemed to be too close to the other party, Xuanyu took a few steps back and turned her back to Lucia: "My words are just literal, don't think too much about it." ”
Seeing through the mind by others, Lucia became angry: "Then you should tell me, what do you mean?"
Xuanyu was not in a hurry, he was not in a hurry, he actually found a big stone and sat down, and then smiled at Lucia and said something that was not very accommodating: "You are hungry." ”
Indeed, since going to the Royal Theater, Lucia has not eaten, and coupled with the toss last night, she should have been hungry to the back of her chest a long time ago, but from the moment she woke up at Crescent Manor, instead of feeling hungry, she was full of strength. It wasn't until just now, after Xuanyu nodded between her eyebrows, that she had the feeling of waking up from a big dream, and now her stomach was really hungry, and she was extremely hungry.
Seeing Lucia holding her stomach in deep thought, Xuanyu continued, "Recently, do you feel that your body has changed?"
"That's right, not only has the spiritual power decreased, the agility and speed of the body have also regressed, but the brain has also become stupid, and I can't remember many things. The most important thing is to be hungry all the time!" When Xuanyu asked this, Lucia told all the "pains" like a patient finding a doctor.
The changes in the body have been carried out to this point, and they can still be calm, Xuanyu doesn't know if Lucia has a big heart or is dull. He couldn't help but laugh, "There are other changes, you didn't say it." ”
"What else?"
"Like dreams. ”
Lucia suddenly realized: "Sure enough, I have been having a strange dream recently, and the dream is ......" She looked at Xuanyu, "Wait, the person in the dream is you!"
"I finally found out, you're too slow. ”
"Why are you in my dreams?" said Lucia, covering her face with her hands and muttering in a low voice, "Do I ...... you?"
"It's just a physical change," Xuanyu hurriedly said in order not to misunderstand her again, "In addition to the recurring dreams, you are also ...... Bloodthirsty. ”
Xuanyu's last sentence really startled Lucia, on the one hand, she was actually associated with the word "bloodthirsty"; on the other hand, thinking about it carefully, he was right! I don't know when the originally annoying smell of blood became so wonderful, Yin Hong's blood was even more delicious than the soup made by the best chef! Subconsciously I couldn't accept all this, so I kept choosing to turn a blind eye, and now it was finally time to face it!
Lucia didn't speak, her expression serious. Xuanyu knew that this moment was coming, he stood up, came to Lucia, and said softly, "It seems that it is time to uncover the mystery." ”
Lucia's body trembled, her instincts telling her that something was wrong! Why is it not good? I don't know. Lucia only knew that it was related to herself, and what Xuanyu was going to say must not be good news, but she just desperately wanted to know!
She raised her head, her gaze wandered over Xuanyu, and finally rested on his eyes: "Please speak!"
"When you first arrived in Agrim, you fought vampires, and you almost served him dinner that night. Xuanyu said as she paused to observe Lucia's expression.
"That's right, when I was already in despair, a strange bird came, and it was very powerful, and the vampire was losing and not fighting back......" Lucia struggled to remember what happened that night, "After the vampire was subdued by the strange bird, it came to suck my blood!"
"The 'strange bird' in your mouth is called a bloodthirsty beast," Xuanyu took her words and continued, "The bloodthirsty beast and the vampire don't share the sky, and if you see it, you will definitely kill him, so the bloodthirsty beast didn't help you that night. As for sucking your blood...... It's normal, it's a bloodthirsty beast, as the name suggests. ”
"Bloodthirsty Beast?" Lucia repeated the name in her mind over and over again, quickly looking up records about it in her memory, but turning it over and over dozens of times, there was no clue at all, and Lucia had to admit that this bloodthirsty beast was an existence outside the scope of her knowledge.
"The world as you know it is too narrow," Xuanyu read her thoughts again, "but it will be different in the future." ”
"What does this bloodthirsty beast have to do with you?" asked Lucia.
"Finally got to the point," Xuanyu smiled slightly, "You, have you ever heard of 'none'?"
As soon as the word "none" came out, the surroundings immediately fell silent, as if at that moment, all living beings were holding their breath at the same time. Sensing the changes around her, Lucia couldn't help but slow down her breathing, and she shook her head blankly.
Xuanyu continued, "Humans also call it a blood demon, you know this. ”
As soon as the word "blood demon" came out, Lucia's brain was like a disjointed train, rampant, and the shock extended to the entire cerebral cortex, followed by chaos. Her lips trembled, she raised her head slightly, and met Xuanyu's slightly smiling gaze: "You, you are ......"
"We like to call ourselves 'nothing', but since humans prefer to call us blood demons, that's okay. Xuanyuyun said lightly, and Lucia's heart was overturned.
There are three realms in this world: the human realm, the demon realm, and the heavenly realm. There are passages connecting the Three Realms, but throughout the ages, there have been only a handful of people who have been able to open the gates of the Three Realms. The Blood Demon is the only race that transcends the Three Realms and is free to come and go within the Three Realms. The blood demon has the ability to destroy the world, but he doesn't bother to do it, and even the immortals of the heavenly realm have to give them three points. They rarely show up, and they have a lot of laughter. There are very few records of blood demons in the world, and even the "Demon List" does not have a word about blood demons, and Lucia also heard it from the elders of the clan, and there are only so many.
"You...... Really...... Blood Demon?" Lucia's voice trembled, she remembered what the elder had said to her, if she met a blood demon, she must not be an enemy of him, but just now, Lucia actually threw a stone at Xuanyu, oh my God, if he is really a blood demon, then it is easier for him to kill Lucia than to crush an ant!
"It's true, it's true, congratulations, you have met the real blood demon. Xuanyu half-joking, but Lucia didn't even have the mood to cry.
"We are an ancient race, too old to imagine. Xuanyu continued, "In addition to endless magic, we also have eternal life. Speaking of this, Xuanyu paused, "But at the price, we must suck the blood of living beings in order to preserve our abilities and reproduce offspring. ”
"Same as a vampire?"
Xuanyu shook her head: "They do have some relationship with us, but that's all for later." Now all you need to know is that we are different from vampires, very different. ”
"You can come out during the day, but they can't. It seemed that Xuanyu didn't seem to want to kill herself, and Lucia's mood calmed down a little.
"More than that, listen up. Xuanyu's expression suddenly became serious, and her voice was a little higher, although the speed of her speech was extremely slow, but every word she said was like a magic spell, making Lucia's heart beat a tom.
"Blood demons are all twins. The so-called twin is the main body and the parabody. We have two ** bodies since our mother's body, like human twins, but the appearance is not at all different. Although they are born as two individuals, they are different in primary and secondary nature, and although the secondary body has its own consciousness, it is controlled by the will of the subject. It is the secondary body that is responsible for sucking blood, and the subject never touches those dirty things. Blood is converted into energy in the parabody and then transmitted to the subject, ensuring the safety and health of the subject is the only meaning of survival of the parabody. ”
Lucia pointed tentatively at Xuanyu, her eyes peeking at his face. Xuanyu quickly understood, and he continued, "That's right, I'm the main body. ”
"What is the subordinate?"
"Bloodthirsty, I call it...... Zero. ”
The word "zero" touched a nerve in Lucia, and in her dream, Xuanyu called her that. Gradually, Lucia was able to guess the truth, but she didn't want to believe it was true.
"That night, my Bloodthirsty Zero searched for blood for me, and never returned. Over the course of a few days, my mana had lost dramatically, and I had to eat human food for energy. But it doesn't matter, if the bloodthirsty beast dies, I can't replenish my blood, so I'm bound to become a mediocre human, and I'm still a foodie, hehereads;. Xuanyu smiled and leaned in front of Lucia, "But I'm glad I found you." ”
"What do you mean?" Lucia stared into his eyes.
"You know, if you were someone else, you'd be dead, but you're an exception. Xuanyu's tone fluctuated for the first time, but he quickly adjusted, "Still don't understand? That night, my bloodthirsty beast assimilated with you when it sucked your blood!"
Xuanyu's last words hit Lucia's head like thunder. She knew that what she was supposed to come would come eventually, but she wasn't ready for it. She couldn't decipher any of the information from Xuanyu's inexplicable smile, so where did she go from here?
"So...... I'm ...... now," and finally, Lucia said in a trembling voice, "I'm not human anymore, am I?"
Xuanyu paused for a long time and didn't speak, and finally as if he had made up his mind, he opened his arms: "Congratulations, you have obtained eternal life, and infinite spiritual power!"
"Hahahaha......" Lucia laughed, "So, I can become a Supreme Magician now?"
"As long as you want. ”
"Can I stay young forever and no longer suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death?"
"That's true. ”
Lucia burst out laughing, scratching her hair as she laughed, "Hahaha, I knew this was the case, why did I have to memorize those spells so hard in the first place?" she began to grumble hysterically, and as she spoke, she circled around Xuanyu, stomping her feet incessantly, making more and more small movements. She shook her head frantically, took several deep breaths, and smiled at Xuanyu, "Now it's so powerful, no one looks down on me!"
She suddenly rushed over and grabbed Xuanyu's collar: "Do you know how lucky I am? I saw so many demon beasts and soul destroyers at once, haha, those people want to destroy me, no way! I want them to see my power! Vampires! Possessed demons! Come on! Ahahahaha." The faster she spoke, the more excited she became.
Lucia's every move was seen in Xuanyu's eyes, and the smile gradually receded from his face, replaced by an anxious one. Lucia let go of Xuanyu's collar and shouted loudly in the woods, running around excitedly in the language of her hometown. Xuanyu wasn't interested in what she said to her, he just stood there coldly, dropping a sentence, "We can't tell anyone, including Mo'an." Then he turned around and left without looking back.
