Chapter Seventy-Nine: Blood Sacrifice
"Young master, the blood contract has begun, you hurry up and sit next to Tian Huangshi and put your hand forward." Seeing that the black egg slowly emitted a hazy black light, this was a sign that the blood pact had begun.
I heard that the first animal egg was discovered hundreds of years ago, in a mountain village, there was an idler who found a huge egg in a mountain stream, and thought of taking it back to cook and eat it.
But when he returned home, he put the eggs in a pot, and after ten minutes of boiling water, he took out the eggs, and tried to break them, but no matter how they were smashed with stones, wooden hammers, or even iron tools, they could not be broken.
Helplessly, the idler gave up, abandoned him to the corner of the house, one day, the idler went out, had a quarrel with someone outside, fought, and went home with a body injury.
Coincidentally, when he went home to get something, blood dripped down his arm and onto the strange egg, and within a few quarters of an hour the man was dead on the ground, and out of the egg came a long, blood-colored snake.
Then, the news spread, and people soon knew the function of this beast egg, hundreds of years of evolution, continuous exploration, and the death of their ancestors, they learned that this kind of beast egg was a good thing.
But in order to hatch, it is necessary to sign a blood contract with someone, and your own bloodline must be integrated with the blood of the signatory, and the process is very dangerous.
During the blood pact, if a person dies, there is no involvement in the eggs, and there is nothing to do with their hatching.
But if after the blood contract is signed, the bloodlines of man and beast are connected, then it is both prosperity and loss. If the master dies, the beast must also die. If the beast dies, the person will inevitably be seriously injured, the muscles and veins will be confused, and it will be difficult to take a step forward in this life.
People are very smart and know that the blood contract process is difficult, so they invented the blood contract formation, when people are blended with the blood of the beast, they will slow down the speed of blending, reduce the ferocity of the beast's blood, and make the contractor calm.
Usually, people find good jade to make array eyes, but one of the best array eyes is Tian Huangshi, Tian Huangshi is the warmest and can reduce its bloodline ferocity the most.
Ying Jiu took the baby's fist-sized Tian Huangshi, and he was already complacent, feeling that this time the young master's blood contract was secure, and he could see how powerful this Tian Huangshi's effect was.
That Hu Xiu's Tian Huangshi, which is worth 20,000 taels of gold, not to mention, this blood contract can be said to be a certainty.
But tomorrow and accidents, I don't know who will come first, there is no such thing as a sure thing in the world...
Hu Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground, one hand twisting on his piece of Datian Yellowstone. Suddenly, a strange sensation spread throughout his body.
It seems that ants have been drilled into your flesh and blood vessels, constantly devouring your blood, and it is extremely itchy, this intermittent little stinging sensation is what Hu Xiu is most afraid of.
Just when he couldn't help but scratch, Tian Huangshi in his hand sent a peaceful energy along his arm, and Hu Xiu sat in the middle of the array.
A blood-red mist rose all around, attached to Hu Xiu's side, and the treasure light around him was everywhere, but it was peaceful and natural.
Hu Xiu suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, the stinging and itching sensation disappeared, and there seemed to be something in his body that had penetrated hard, numb and crispy, and a little comfortable.
But this phenomenon did not last long, and the stinging sensation suddenly returned, like a rebellious child, who did not like others to control him. This time, the force was even more intensified, as if he had used a blade to cut an inch of his body.
The painful Hu Xiu roared, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, it was too painful to react like this.
Ying Jiu has been watching from the sidelines, and she has not been blood-contracted with beast eggs, but in this situation, it seems that something is wrong. But I've also heard that in the process of blood contract, as long as you survive the front, the pain in the back will slowly weaken, why is this still reversed?
Ying Jiu was a little panicked, watching Hu Xiu's face become more and more pale, and there was even a slight crack in Tian Huangshi under his hand, which had never happened before.
Although the Tian Huangshi that has passed the blood contract usually becomes semi-waste, and the color will become extremely dull, I have never heard of anyone in the process of blood contract, the jade as the eye of the formation will be broken, unless the beast egg itself is too strong, and it has not yet broken out of the shell, it has a strong strength...
So a large piece of Tianhuang Stone can't resist it, what is this black beast egg?
Ying Jiu suddenly regretted a little, he shouldn't have been so impulsive, in fact, these formations and materials were spent on his own money, she came back that day, with the beast eggs, and wanted to find her master, so that the best materials.
But I can't find anything, there is a lot of trust in [Shadow Pavilion], but no one can guarantee that if it is reported, there will be no people who have different intentions and the idea of snatching.
Therefore, she had to spend her own money and go to the black market to buy materials, and she also spent a lot of money to buy that piece of Tianhuangshi, all so that her young master could successfully complete the blood contract, but she didn't expect that in the process, so many mistakes occurred.
"Ka Ka Ka ~ " The huge piece of Tianhuang Stone has more and more cracks, and it has a tendency to crack inch by inch.
Ying Jiu's face also changed greatly, Arita Huangshi resisted better, it could neutralize Hu Xiu, if not, what would be the consequences, she couldn't believe it.
Ying Jiu took out the exceptionally baby-sized Tianhuang Stone, and she was going to replace it with the larger Tianhuang Stone when it shattered.
Sure enough, the Tianhuang stone shattered, cracked into small stones one by one, and it was still bubbling black, and I don't know how tortured it was.
Shadow Jiu's ankle twisted slightly, and he was about to step over, when suddenly, above the formation, the black egg emitted a black qi and moved, and the powerful qi wave shook and spread out like ripples, hitting Shadow Jiu's body, and actually knocked him away.
Hu Xiu, who was sitting in the center of the array, was even more shocked and bleeding, his breath was only between Sumeru, his face was like gold paper, and it seemed that his life was not long in coming.
"Young master!" Ying Jiu almost wanted to die of grief and indignation, all blamed her, if it weren't for her, Hu Xiu would not have signed the contract now, if it was later, when the master came back, these things would definitely not happen.
Ying Jiu already had a thought in her heart, if the young master failed to die in the blood contract this time, she would no longer want to live.
The wave of air generated by the black gas was so great that it spread all over Ping'an City, and even the ordinary people found something different, because the bottles, cans, tables and chairs in their homes had strange vibrations, and if the ground did not shake, otherwise it would have been considered an earthquake.
Yu'er's mother was the first to arrive, she "watched" Ying Jiu enter Hu Wang's mansion, knowing that she wouldn't do anything to Hu Xiu, so she let her go, and didn't pay attention to this courtyard, but just now, the energy generated by that qi wave was the center, and even she felt her heart tugging.
Even when he rushed to the courtyard, he saw the blood formation, Hu Xiu's face was bloodless, and he sat on the array, but there were no array stones on the array, only broken stone chips.
"Senior Shi, hurry up and save the young master." Ying Jiu saw Shi Yu coming, as if he saw hope.
"What the hell is going on?" Shi Yu's face turned dark, "When I save Xiu'er, I'll ask you." ”
Ying Jiu knew that he had made a mistake, so he didn't refute anything, and let him say that now as long as the young master can live, even if he kills her, he is willing.
I saw Shi Yu take out a small blood-red stone from the placket of his clothes and throw it into the sky, a strange phenomenon occurred, it floated in the air magically, and flew towards Hu Xiu.
"Bloodstone?" Ying Jiu's heart is determined, the preciousness of the bloodstone is a hundred, or even a thousand times that of Tianhuangshi, it is better to say that it is jade, it is better to say that it is a medicine stone, this bloodstone is claimed to be as long as you still have a breath of existence, it can help you hang, the existence of life.
There have also been people who say that there are only 100 bloodstones in the world, and some people believe it, which shows the preciousness of bloodstones.
The bloodstone was very small, and it moved towards Hu Xiu quickly, and the moment it fell on the back of Hu Xiu's hand, a stream of blood qi flowed through the stone body to Hu Xiu's body.
Hu Xiu's traumatized body, as if he had found the head of the source, desperately absorbed the blood in the bloodstone, and for a while, his originally bloodless face flushed.
A quarter of an hour later, "Click~" only heard a few cracking sounds, and a precious bloodstone actually shattered, just like the previous Tianhuang stone, black gas was bubbling from the broken stone.
Hu Xiu also had a chain reaction, and a mouthful of pus and blood gushed out of his mouth.
"What?" Ying Jiu couldn't believe his eyes, the bloodstone was broken, even such a precious bloodstone was broken, so what kind of jade could be used for this array of eyes, Ying Jiu's heart was like ashes.
Yu'er's mother's face also changed, she didn't expect the bloodstone to be broken, but she immediately calmed down, because there were people from Hu Wangfu, and they were all "big people".
Han King Hu Guizi, Luo Ziqing, and Liu Dingfang and other generals. Steward Cheng in the family, as well as Uncle Tie Niu, and Uncle Baal noticed the movement and came.
Low in the air, there were two people standing at this time, a half-old woman dressed in luxurious clothes, and an old man with new glory and withered bones.
"You old guy, why did you come out, didn't you say that you didn't break through the ninth order and didn't go out?" The old woman was naturally Hu Xiu's grandmother Hu Suyun, and she naturally noticed such a big movement.
"Hmph, that wave of qi just now, I thought it was He Bao who appeared in the world, but I didn't expect it to be your great-grandson's blood sacrifice that went wrong. However, the quality of this beast egg is really high. "The old man's face is like the bark of a withered tree, and when he speaks, he pulls his skin and shakes it, and he doesn't know whether it hurts or not.
"Old man Gao, pay attention to what you say, don't think about the idea of beating my great-grandson beast egg!" Hu Suyun said solemnly.
"How dare you." The old man's eyebrows were drawn together like dead dogs, and he spoke, and then he stopped talking.
"It's good that you don't have that mind." Hu Suyun glanced at him vigilantly, and took out a red and blackened stone, which was very similar to the bloodstone taken out by Shi Yu.
"Blood Essence Stone? It's the one back then, this thing was chiseled out of that bloodstone mine, the whole big beard, it is estimated that this is the only piece, you are willing to give it to your descendants? ”
The old man's half-dead face showed brilliance, and his eyes were fixed on the stone.
"It's not your turn, it's my thing, I can use it however I want."
Hu Suyun sneered, threw the stone in his hand into the sky, and also flew towards the formation where Hu Xiu was, but it did not fly to Hu Xiu's hand, but was suspended in mid-air.
"Shock!"
With an edict, the heavens and the earth seemed to freeze, and the great coercion was suppressed, but the object of the pressure was the black egg, but the power that leaked out could kill some low-level martial artists instantly.
And at this moment, Hu Xiu also entered a state, originally because he closed his eyes, it was pitch black, and he vaguely saw a white light.
Gradually, it slowly manifested, and a giant white deer with four horns appeared. It seemed to have extremely high wisdom, raised its head, and walked in front of Hu Xiu.
When it got closer, I saw what it looked like, white as snow, with four white horns standing independently.
Hu Xiu's face was frightened, and his hand trembled and raised: "Are you Fuzhu?" ”
