The fleet, which had grown from seven ships to twelve when it returned, was sailing smoothly on the sea.

Not far in front of the Han Crane was the Lieshan of the First Detachment Fleet. Two wrist-thick cables extended from the Lieshan and tied to the Han Wing, dragging the Han Crane that had lost its power slowly.

On the flybridge platform of the Han Cockroach, Li Qing and Long Linghan sat opposite each other. Long Linghan's expression was flat, but Li Qing's face was full of undisguised shock.

"I'm going to die."

Facing Li Qing's incredulous eyes, Long Linghan repeated what he had just said. The tone is still so understated, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and it seems that he is only talking about the weather, not his own life and death.

This tone makes it difficult for Li Qing to have a real feeling, and she always feels like she is joking.

He restrained his shock, hesitated for a moment, and said half-incredulously, "Are you serious? No kidding? ”

"Hmm." Long Linghan snorted softly, looked away, and looked at the sea in the distance.

It is almost dusk, and the sunset is close to the sea level, and it will not be long before it will sink below the surface of the sea. Long Linghan looked at the bloody remnant sun, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he sighed lightly: "When the sun disappears, I am almost at my limit. ”

Only then did Li Qing determine that Long Linghan was not joking with him, but was telling her life and death very seriously. So he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

On the flybridge platform, there was silence for a moment.

After a long time, Li Qingcai said slowly: "The one that Shadow Blade Barr gave you is really that serious? ”

"You see it." Long Linghan looked at Remnant Yang and said in a low voice, "You should have seen the wound on my back at that time. With my constitution, if it wasn't for irreparable serious injuries, how could black blood be shed? The blow of Barr's projection was poisonous. The moment it hit me, the toxin was all over me. Then it quickly eroded into my soul, entangled with my soul. ”

She looked at Li Qing again, smiled, and said self-deprecatingly, "Barr is right, I'm already dead. I was really hard mouthed before. And the reason why I pretended to be safe was that I didn't want to shake the morale of the army, and I didn't want to show weakness in front of the enemy, so that Barr would be proud. ”

"That poison is very powerful?" Li Qing was still a little incredulous and asked, "Completely impossible to clear?" ”

Long Linghan sighed: "Very powerful. As I said, the toxin has eroded into my soul, to the point where there is no cure, no cure. Even the sorcerer's spells can't be expelled. My family's ancestral dragon can't cure this level of poison.

"Actually, even if the ancestral dragon has a way, I don't have the ability to summon it to come. I was too badly injured, and the green dragon bloodline was contaminated with toxins, and I couldn't even launch the blood sacrifice. ”

Li Qing didn't know what to say.

He didn't have much friendship with Long Linghan.

The relationship between the two is simply that of hiring and being employed, and they are not even friends.

Since they met, Long Linghan has always shown him a strong side. This made her leave the impression on Li Qing that she was just a dignified, deep, decisive and iron-blooded general, sometimes even a little cold, not a flower girl who needed love.

Even at this point, Long Linghan still did not show the slightest weakness.

Therefore, even if Long Linghan and Xiaolongmei were exactly the same, Li Qing would only be shocked at most after understanding her situation. The affection is far from being rich enough to feel sorry for her.

However, Li Qing still admires Long Linghan's open-mindedness that he knows that he is going to die, but still talks and laughs freely, and is light and light.

There is an old Chinese saying: Those who have thunder in their chests and their faces are like a peaceful lake can worship the general. Long Linghan is a real general, but unfortunately he is unlucky, and he will die at such a young age. No matter how good the potential is, there is no chance to play it.

Speechless and silent for a while, Li Qing said slowly: "You came to me, you shouldn't just want to tell me about your situation, right?" ”

"Not bad." Long Linghan looked at Li Qing and said with a light smile: "I'm about to die, but I can't die." The reasons for this are complex, including considerations for the morale of the military and my own petty selfishness.

"My father died early and I had no brothers and sisters, so my mother was the only one to rely on. Although my uncles were very kind to me, it was just me. Without me, even with the Empire's pension, my mother's situation would have become very difficult.

"I can't let my mother lose her support, so I can't die."

Li Qing frowned and said, "But I can't save you......"

"I know it." Long Linghan waved his hand and interrupted Li Qing's words: "I can see that your strength is pure destructive power, which exists specifically for killing. I knew you couldn't save me, and I never expected you to save me. The reason why I am asking you to say this is because I want someone to live in my place. ”

Li Qing didn't have to think much about it, he understood what she meant, shook his head and said, "You want Long Hanhan to be your stand-in?" Impossible. Although she looks exactly like you, she is just an ordinary girl, not to mention her strength, even if her temperament is completely different from yours. Let her impersonate you, and your officers and soldiers will easily see the flaws, not to mention your loved ones. ”

"I have a way." Long Linghan said lightly: "I can sacrifice my soul to the ancestral dragon, and at the cost of my soul, ask the ancestral dragon to transfer my green dragon bloodline to Long Hanhan." My memories can also be transferred to her.

"With my bloodline, with the experience and knowledge in my memory, with a little practice, Long Hanhan can impersonate me very well. At least, my officers and men will not see the flaws.

"As for the mother and the family members...... The battlefield sharpens and changes people the most. Let Long Hanhan stay on the battlefield for a year or two, and then go home, even if there is anything wrong, the closest relatives will only think that it is the impact of the battlefield. ”

Li Qing said in a deep voice: "Soul sacrifice, the price is very high, right?" ”

Long Linghan said: "It's nothing, it's just that the soul merges into the ancestral dragon, completely loses itself, and becomes a part of the ancestral dragon." Oh, although my soul has been poisoned, it is still no problem to use it for sacrifice. The toxins will naturally be stripped away during the sacrifice, and the ancestral dragon will accept this sacrifice. ”

"Total loss of self? What's the difference between that and being gone? Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "Your sacrifice is too great." ”

"Even if I don't sacrifice, my soul will be completely destroyed by the toxin, and it will be the same as if my soul was scattered." Long Linghan smiled and said, "Since you can't escape this catastrophe, why don't you choose a better way for you?" ”

"I feel your determination." Li Qing sighed again, "But Long Hanhan may not accept it." Even if she accepts, she is not from this world, and sooner or later she will have to go back with us. She also has her own parents and relatives, and it is impossible for her to be your stand-in and serve your mother for the rest of her life. ”

"Go back?" Hearing Li Qing say this, Long Linghan's expression was always indifferent, and finally changed slightly: "Do you still have a way to go back?" ”

"Of course." Li Qingdao: "We already have a way to go back, but we don't plan to leave for the time being." ”

Long Linghan's eyes were lost for a while, and he muttered: "But the Taiji Dao people didn't go back back then......"

"In our world, there is no aura of heaven and earth." Li Qingdao: "The Peerless Snake went to our world, and it could only be reduced to an ordinary person. Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng cultivated to reach the peak, and in our world, he is still just a mortal with high martial arts. It wasn't until we fell here from our world realm that we were able to forge the golden pill and shatter the void. If he goes back, his cultivation will not be able to make an inch, but will slowly weaken until he completely becomes an ordinary person. In that case, why did he go back? ”

Long Linghan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and stared at Li Qing: "However, you are not an ordinary person, why do you want to go back?" I can feel that in our world, you can be like a fish in water. And your two female companions, the descendant of the Peerless Serpent and the Druid, will also be able to quickly become stronger in our worldly realm. Why, then, do you go back? ”

"We are different from Zhang Sanfeng!" Li Qing said helplessly: "Actually, I don't care, I'm alone, I can stay anywhere." But my female companions, except for the youngest one, all have families and relatives. It's impossible for them to abandon their families and stay here. I can't abandon them, I can't stay here for long. ”

Long Linghan's eyes were gloomy and silent. The waist, which has always been as straight as a gun, has gradually become a little overwhelmed, and there is a faint sense of despair and gray death on his body.

Seeing that Long Linghan, who knew that he was going to die, but could still talk and laugh freely, suddenly became so depressed, Rao is Li Qing was hard-hearted, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of unbearability in his heart.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask someone if she can help you." Maybe she'......"

"I can't cure that poison either. It wasn't an ordinary poison, I could see that it was a kind of poison that was refined by special means using the blood of a lord-level great demon as the main material, and was specifically aimed at the soul. Polluting the flesh is just incidental. ”

Before Li Qing finished speaking, Su Su's voice sounded under the flybridge platform, "Knight, don't forget, what I am best at is also destruction and killing. I'm not a professional in treating diseases and saving people.

"I need to use materials of the grade of blood marrow to cure even a cancer, and I want to cure General Long's poison, unless you can find me a drop of dragon blood. It has to be a living Oriental True Dragon, fresh blood released now. ”

As he spoke, Su Su walked up the stairs and came to the flybridge platform.

Seeing Su Su, a different color flashed in Long Linghan's eyes.

She wasn't surprised by the tone in which Susu spoke. It's because Su Su heard the conversation between her and Li Qing clearly, obviously she had been staying under the flybridge platform, and the two sides were so close that she didn't even notice Su Su's existence!

Not to mention anything else, just talking about this ability to collect breath is enough for Long Linghan to be secretly frightened.

Su Su didn't care about the different color in Long Linghan's eyes.

She narrowed her eyes, looked Long Linghan up and down for a while, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, there is no real dragon in the east anymore, right?" Because during the daytime battle, the green dragon you summoned was not a real dragon. Or rather, it's not a real dragon with a physical body.

"It's supposed to be a heroic spirit. Although the strength is good, it is obviously not a god, but it has the energy level of a weak god, and the energy is still very pure, and it is not entangled by faith, but after all, it has no body, and there is no way to bloodlet to help you. ”

Hearing Su Su's words, Long Linghan was even more shocked in his heart.

She didn't expect that Su Su, a well-behaved girl who seemed to be powerless, would actually see through the true face of the green dragon with just one dragon claw.

That dragon claw is indeed as Su Su said, it is not the dragon claw of a real dragon.

It is a powerful Heroic Spirit—the family ancestor of Long Linghan, to be exact.

The dragon clan where Long Linghan is located, its ancient ancestor, is a green dragon. After death, the soul is immortal, turning into an ancestral dragon heroic spirit to protect the dragon clan. Long Linghan's green dragon bloodline originated from that green dragon.

At this time, Su Su put his hands behind his back again, looked at Long Linghan with a smile, and said in a tone full of ****: "Although I can't cure your poison, I can refine the poison on your body." Whether it is the poison in the blood or the poison in the soul, it can be refined cleanly. But at the cost...... You will be refined into a dragon crystal ......"
