Chapter Forty-Eight: The Uncrowned Queen
The fact that non-gifted people can survive in the mining area for seven days, in fact, Tang Xian has thought about it carefully, and there are some doubts that cannot be answered for the time being.
Yuan Wu, who was born in the Evolution Zone, also raised doubts after learning that Liu Lang and the others had been staying for seven days-
If non-gifted people can survive in the mining area without restrictions, then how did the rule that the mining area cannot survive for seven days become a rule that everyone believes to be true?
Tang Xian didn't answer at the time. At this moment, Yuan Wu looked at the unconscious Song Que curiously, and said:
What is the truth of this rule? My lord, has it never been practiced by anyone? ”
Song Que's situation is too special. Tang Xian also saw such a situation for the first time.
In fact, when he first met Song Que, he had a very strange feeling, which was a sense of closeness.
He thought about it, and still didn't answer Yuanwu's question, but said goodbye to Suzui first.
After pacifying Ling Yi and the rest of the group, Tang Xian left Yuanwu to prevent the messenger crows from causing trouble.
Then he rode on the dragon's back again, and then began to explain:
"I once simulated the history of a human mining area. The first people to enter the fortress should have chosen the lord at the first time, and it was at that time that the genes of the orderer began to be activated. The gifted are born.
Of course, in terms of numbers, there must be a lot of non-gifted people. There should be more of them than the ungifted.
Later, with the confirmation of the pyramid hierarchy, the manufacturing technology of the teleportation rift was left on the stele, and the only copy of the mine in the world was opened.
People came to the mining area in order to obtain survival resources. But when they first come to the mines, they may not even be able to beat the enhanced creatures.
Moreover, he panicked and found that the various ordnance weapons that could be used in the original world could not be used again.
Both the gifted and the ungifted began to die in large numbers.
In extremely harsh mining areas, we can presume with 10,000 percent that the survivability of the gifted is far stronger than that of the non-talented, and therefore, the most likely to bring back information is the gifted.
As for the non-gifted, it may be difficult for me to say this, and it is difficult to survive for three days in the mines hundreds of years ago.
At that time, mankind was almost confused about the mining area.
In short, the lack of knowledge about the mining area at that time, coupled with the guidance of stone tablets and the tragic death certificates of the gifted, formed an absolutely unchangeable perception that the mining area could not survive for seven days.
Naturally, this includes the ungifted. So the ungifted began to take charge of the things inside the fortress.
The gifted began to be responsible for the development of the mining area, and it was found that the difference in income between the two was too great. Therefore, the status of the gifted becomes higher.
The mining world is so productive that safe zones, or green zones, have been created for non-gifted people to mine.
A large number of tragic facts, all kinds of examples in textbooks, and clear instructions on stone tablets all make people believe that non-gifted people cannot stay for seven days, whether the rules do not allow it, nor does the strength allow it.
Over time, the non-gifted will no longer dare to stay in the mine for too long. After all, the mosquitoes there are the size of cockroaches. The rabbits there are probably all more powerful than the non-gifted. ”
Yuan Wu nodded, although for hundreds of years, there should always be some non-talented people who are no longer conventional, but after Tang Xian's explanation, it seems that it is like Tang Xian's cheating, and there is no way to convince everyone to change their opinions.
After explaining all this, Tang Xian told Yuanwu and Lingyi a few words, and then took Song Que and left the sinkhole by dragon.
The people in the sinkhole must be saved, and the fake lord of the Ten Thousand Beasts in the Holy Land Fortress must also be eradicated.
However, Tang Xian did not forget the true purpose of this trip.
I have only known Qing Jiuyu for half a year, although this fox always likes to find something for himself in front of other women, but Tang Xian is still very tolerant of Qing Jiuyu.
Young Muai is a truth that applies to most people.
Young men just can't say no to pretty girls.
As long as the orientation is normal and you really think the other person is beautiful, you will be extremely tolerant. No matter how you get twenty-six or seventeen years old, or even thirty years old, you can lower your heart ape.
Tang Xian is an exception.
His tolerance for Qing Jiuyu is only the tolerance of smart people for intellectual disability and ...... The tolerance of ordinary and helpless ordinary people to Havoc-level boss creatures.
When he was probably born in his mother's womb, he did not see a woman's heart. In fact, these cute girls like Winter Dye, Qiao Shanshan, are not as good-looking as Akasi and Song Que in his opinion.
Thinking so, when he was on the back of the dragon, Tang Xian glanced at Song Que.
Well, he is worthy of a man with a charm value of more than 90, maybe he can match him with Bai Man, Shengqing, Jiuyu, Qiao Shanshan and the like.
However, Tang Xian was soon stunned again.
"The last time I saw this guy, the charm attribute shouldn't be so high?"
The charm value is almost a semi-fixed attribute value, and Tang Xian has never seen anyone whose charm value will change in less than a year
。
Later, it was found that Song Que's temperament had changed slightly.
He frowned:
"Are the two personalities fused?"
Tang Xian thought about it, so far, the scoring criteria for charm value mainly lie in appearance, and it has nothing to do with inner temperament.
After all, even Tang Aircraft and Winter Dye can get high marks.
Song Que's silly smile will indeed subtract some points. And that's because of his character.
Some smiles, once a person's personality changes, even the same expression, it does not have that charm.
It's like Tang Xian wants to make an innocent expression, even if Li Xiaoyu sees it, he will want to scold the drama spirit.
Tang Xian shook his head, even Song Que, who had a pure chaotic will, had a bottom line of justice.
He believes that even if the two personalities are fused, Song Que will probably still be the Song Que who can afford to be a hero.
His thoughts returned to Qing Jiuyu again, and he no longer thought about Song Que.
Tang Xian is naturally a person with a normal orientation, if he must live with others in the future, Tang Xian must choose a woman.
Then the progenitor chromosome will be found in a suitable egg cell through intimate contact.
As for who the right egg comes from, this is another ultimate puzzle in life that needs to be solved but is not urgent.
After coming to the top of the sinkhole, Tang Xian took down the portable teleportation crack, and after setting the coordinates, he opened the portable teleportation crack.
I could already smell the smell of the mountains in my nose.
Tang Xian knew that what he was about to face was the real challenge of the trip to the Holy Land.
To rescue Qing Jiuyu from the hands of the two chief judges of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court, Tang Xian was not completely sure.
Song Que naturally couldn't take care of it, if it weren't for his serious injuries, Tang Xian would have wanted to leave Song Que in the sinkhole.
"I'm not going back for a while. See the portal at the edge of the mountain? After saving Qing Jiuyu, I'm going to go to that side. ”
Tang Xian said: "A fortress without a knight of judgment, I can kill it alone, right?" ”
As he spoke, Tang Xian pushed Song Que into the teleportation crack.
……
……
Holy Land, Demon Dragon Castle.
The greedy and powerful dragon clan must have a palace of their own.
The Demon Dragon Castle is the palace of the Ember Dragon.
This ember dragon can also be called a red dragon.
Of all the dragon species, the dragon with the strongest flame element.
In terms of level, the Ember Dragon is not a holy beast species, but probably a demonic beast species.
But the strength is indeed an extremely powerful existence among the catastrophe-level boss creatures, and it can be said that all species that use fire as a means of attack can only succumb to the Ember Dragon.
The Demon Dragon Castle is very large, built of countless huge stones behind the heavy mountain prison, and the nearby ten thousand beasts and beasts are the Zutun giants, these fortresses were built by the Zudun giants.
It wasn't long ago that the Giant of Zutun had migrated to another holy place.
In the main hall of the huge castle, the weakened Qing Jiuyu was firmly bound by the crimson flame bird chain in the form of a demon fox.
At the end of the main hall, on the thrones of the two sides, the source of the epidemic and the ember dragon looked at Qing Jiuyu indifferently.
Next to the throne is still the Australopithecus who is in charge of translation.
"Lord Ember Dragon and Lord Plague have asked about the outcome of your trial through the Messenger Raven. It was the divination of Lord Bu Zhou Turtle. ”
Qing Jiuyu didn't speak, all kinds of viruses that made her weak, plus the shackles of the flames, made her have no extra strength.
During the two days of captivity, it did not retain much physical strength in the process.
Because there is so little time. She didn't expect that in just two days, the court would issue a verdict.
I thought that this process would take at least a long time, but I was the queen of the fox clan, and I was the only orange-level existence of the fox clan at present.
The Fox Clan is not subordinate to the court, although it is subject to the court.
But the court also admitted that the court must abide by the internal rules of the Ten Thousand Beast Race.
It is impossible for the fox clan to be without a future leader, and in this case, the court should have some concerns about its own trial.
The Australopithecus seemed to see this, and said in a mocking tone:
"Qing Jiuyu, although you have been given a name, from now on, you are no longer protected by the Ten Thousand Beasts Court and the laws of the Fox Clan."
Qing Jiuyu was stunned.
The playfulness in the eyes of the ember dragon became more and more obvious.
The source of the epidemic is still the same expression, indifferent, as if the people who are about to be judged are just weeds that have no survival value.
The Australopithecus continued:
"According to the Ten Thousand Beasts, we suspect that the one who killed the Thunder Owl Assassins in the Court was the Canglong of the Southern Seas, which was the remnant of the Eden forces, and the existence that could kill Lord Zero alone, perhaps some kind of Orange-Order Eden creature."
"And you, Qing Jiuyu, your clan said that you have been very close to humans recently, and the elders of the fox clan do not understand this, but you are the only queen of the fox clan, the only nine-tailed, they dare not criticize anything.
At the same time, after Lord Shi Ling was robbed, you knew the clues but didn't report them. Lord Zhou Turtle has already said that you know all the clues, you have seen humans and Eden creatures in a place that is extremely far away, you can deny it, but in this world, no one will question Lord Zhou Turtle's words. ”
Qing Jiuyu shook her head slightly, she still didn't admit that Tang Xian was from the Eden clan, she still said that Tang Xian was gluttonous.
It's just that Qing Jiuyu, who is too weak, coupled with the betrayal of her clansmen, makes her have no desire to explain all this.
The ancient ape didn't care about Qing Jiuyu's reaction either, and continued:
"Of course, we must admit that the process of formulating the trial is complicated, some fox elders defend you to the death, and many fox creatures are also loyal to you, because you are the only queen of the fox clan."
"Based on this status, there is no way for the court to sentence you before you retire."
Qing Jiuyu raised the huge fox head slightly, and there was a trace of hope and doubt in his eyes.
It was her last glimmer of hope.
But that glimmer of hope was soon dashed. Australopithecus says:
"But since yesterday, you have been exiled by the fox clan and the court, and you are no longer the queen of the fox clan. And the fox clan has a new leader. ”
His tired eyes suddenly widened, and Qing Jiuyu looked at the ancient ape in disbelief.
Her massive body even tried to break free from the chains of the flames at this moment.
It's just that now she is too weak, and in exchange for the pain of being burned.
She kept shaking her head, not believing Australopithecus.
Because only she knows how difficult it is to give birth to a nine-tail, she wanted to retire early on, but the fox clan simply has no one enough to succeed her.
Australopithecus asked:
"You seem to have doubts about that?"
Immediately, the ancient ape dressed as a butler turned his head and respectfully asked Ember Dragon in dragon language.
Qing Jiuyu didn't understand, but he always felt that something terrible would happen.
After a while, the ancient ape turned around and said:
"This was originally a secret of the court, but Lord Ember Dragon was merciful and wanted you to understand your death, so he decided to tell you."
"Our Ten Thousand Beasts Court has the offerings of all races, and these offerings are the best young breeds of all races, and the fox clan does not need to worship the court, but the corpses of the leaders of the previous generation of fox clans are kept by the court."
Fear is like an ant, crawling densely in all directions in Qing Jiuyu's consciousness.
Although she didn't know why there was her father's corpse in the Ten Thousand Beasts Court, it must not be used for anything good.
"About nine percent of the most outstanding young species of the Ten Thousand Beasts have become evolutionary through the efforts of our Australopithecus. Among them is the fox clan. ”
"You know, there are many arrogant creatures like you, who rely on themselves to be the ruler of a clan and never want to be subordinate to the court."
"To that end, we plan to prepare better and more obedient heirs for these races."
"Just a few months ago, when you led the Six-Tailed Snake to fight against the Wa Snake, a six-tailed fox was captured by us without your fox clan knowing.
To wash away its memory and build new ones is something we are good at.
But it's hard to complete evolution.
Even if we can speed up the evolutionary process through unnatural means, this process is extremely painful for the six-tailed.
It almost died several times, but when we feared that the materials would go to waste, it survived and evolved into a nine-tailed demon fox. It's like God is helping us. ”
Qing Jiuyu couldn't imagine that it would be such a result, this kind of thing was too appalling for her.
"The evolution project is very slow, and we currently have 60% of the world's animal species, but less than 70% of the evolutionary ones are successful. And these successes are not replicable, so of course we have a reason to raise the puppet that has successfully evolved as soon as possible and become the new king. ”
"It just so happens that you Qing Jiuyu is on the opposite side of the court, which is simply good for us. I believe that the new nine-tailed demon fox leader will be willing to lead the fox clan and bow down to the court. ”
At this point, Qing Jiuyu finally understood the ambition of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court.
The leader of a clan is usually the highest evolutionary form of the beast species.
It's like the leader of the Hell Flame Wolf and the Hell Three-Headed Wolf is the Great Tengu.
However, this supreme evolutionary form is extremely rare, so most beasts have a lineage, and once a younger supreme evolutionary form appears, they will default to it as the next generation leader.
It's just that many times, it is not easy for a leader to see a qualified heir until he dies.
The Court of Ten Thousand Beasts took advantage of this and prepared to use the various evil experiments of the ancient apes to cultivate the supreme evolutionary species, so as to deepen the rule over the ten thousand beasts through the evolved species brainwashed by the puppets.
This group of monsters sitting on the throne is not satisfied with being a court of all beasts, what they want to do-
It is the court of all beasts.
"Finally, the honorable former queen of the fox clan. I've heard that the fox clan has an unclean existence, a little girl with nine tails, but there is no way to succeed her, what a pity. Originally, after you retired, even though it was hated by the fox clan, it was the only qualified successor, but now it is not. ”
"Do you know how excited your people were when Lord Xuanniao of the court told the Fox Clan Elder that the court had found a pure-bred, non-blood-contaminated nine-tailed at the foot of the Holy Mountain? It's like they've forgotten about you. You have no backers or supports, and our puppet will soon become the king of the fox clan. ”
Despair was like the mountains outside the castle, weighing heavily on Qing Jiuyu's heart.
All along, she felt sorry for Qing Jiuyun and Xiao Ni.
One day in the future, she hopes that Xiao Ni can take the throne of the fox clan and become the next queen of the fox clan after herself.
But all this was shattered.
The Court of Ten Thousand Beasts has more disgust with humans than itself, and even more so than the elders of the fox clan.
In the future, Xiao Ni will basically become the strongest nine-tails, and she will inevitably not be recognized by the clan.
Qing Jiuyu let out a terrible and unwilling fox howl, and the long howl was filled with deep pathos.
Australopithecus says:
"But there is still a way to save all this, as long as you tell everything you know now, as long as you tell the two adults what kind of creature was the creature that killed Lord Zero, and where it was hiding. You can no longer be the queen of the fox clan, but you can at least live. You can even go back to the tribe again."
This is a real torture from the soul.
Qing Jiuyu did not give a decisive answer, she was indeed greatly tempted at this moment.
She began to seriously think about whether to tell all Tang Xian's secrets.
Tang Xian and his own life and death, which is more important.
The answer should have been obvious.
But at the end of her thoughts, Qing Jiuyu saw Xiao Ni's smiling face.
The six-year-old had never smiled so happily.
Because she was born with the appearance of a human being, Xiao Ni's childhood endured the cold eyes of the clansmen, but it was only after she came into contact with humans that someone really cared about her.
If there were no more humans...... How sad should it be?
She suddenly remembered Tang Xian's sentence - there are two kinds of people in this world, some people rely on the luck of childhood to heal their lives, and some people use their lives to heal the misfortunes of their childhood.
This stubborn woman still doesn't believe in humans and is still hostile to them.
But she believed in Tang Xian.
Tang Xian will definitely be able to give Tang Xiaojiu a childhood that is enough to heal a lifetime.
Qing Jiuyu's tired eyes instantly lit up, and she shook her head and said:
The ancient ape was a little puzzled, what a stupid fox this is?
Not wanting to waste any more time, it inquired about the Ember Dragon and the source of the plague, and said:
"The trial will be executed, and Lord Ember Dragon will use flames to cleanse you of your desecration of the court."
The four flame chains that bound Qing Jiuyu instantly became violent.
The fox clan of flame creatures is naturally resistant to fire, but resistance does not mean immunity.
There were many ways to kill her, but Ember Dragon chose the least efficient one.
It's just to torture the fox.
The terrifying flames enveloped Qing Jiuyu, and she let out a howl of pain, tearing her heart out.
Australopithecus, Ember Dragon, and the source of the epidemic quietly admired the scene of a top-level species of the flame system being burned to death by flames.
But the flames, which had been becoming more and more violent, suddenly froze.
In that moment, a cold wind blew through the hall where the temperature rose sharply.
The source of the plague and the ember dragon suddenly stood up from their thrones, their eyes full of vigilance.
The dragon chant shook the sky, and this hall comparable to the Deep Sea Dragon Palace trembled slightly.
The high-temperature flames cooled instantly, and countless ice crystals began to grow like sprouting seeds, crawling all over every pillar of the main hall.
The hall, which was scorching in the last second, felt the cold through the bones in the next second.
The flames surrounding Qing Jiuyu were also extinguished in an instant.
When Qing Jiuyu, who was covered in burns, saw that familiar face, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, and the huge beast body fell to the ground, and said in a weak tone:
The wind and snow dispersed, and a man and a dragon stood proudly in the center of the main hall.
Tang Xian stood beside Qing Jiuyu, his expression was gentle, and he said softly:
"Rest well. Everything you lost today, I will get it back for you. ”
