Chapter 133: It's Strange
If he only had information from ancient books, he would probably have decided that this peculiar species was his "friendly army". The problem, however, ...... The candle dragon seems to have been communicating with her for quite some time.
And during this time, she should be more than just a listener - know that there were eleven base station-type force field limiting devices on the shore of the lake before the road. And Xiao Heng didn't use such a huge scale when dealing with himself.
This means that perhaps the Lu in front of her has awakened a while before, and just like she did just now, she can communicate briefly.
Or maybe there is another way of talking between the species - like Ying Long at the beginning, the information is directly imprinted in the other party's mind.
And what happened in the intervening time......
It took Li Zhen another ten minutes to figure out the problem.
The power of the Gate of Truth infiltrated here a few years ago, in fact, in search of the Devil.
A year ago, the candle dragon found her and tried to wake her up. The other party, like herself, only gave her limited mobility at first. For example, it is possible to communicate.
As if trying to pull itself over with that gentle and tolerant attitude in the past, it had a "friendly exchange" with Lu with great patience. Over the course of a year, it had poured into the mind of him almost everything that had happened over the millennia, even though it was hearsay itself.
In fact, the central thesis of the candle dragon is quite simple - the cataclysm is coming, and a sacrifice must be chosen between humans and humans and species.
To Li Zhen's surprise, Lu, who was a natural outlier, actually refused the invitation of the candle dragon.
And her explanation for this is nothing more than one sentence - "I remember my father's words".
Li Zhen really wanted to know what the Yellow Emperor of Lu Dao had said to her. But this ancient being, thousands of years ago, responded to him with a ......
"No comment".
Look at the look on her face when she said this. I probably didn't realize that in addition to being used in some formal setting, this sentence has a wider effect on making people suffocate internal injuries.
Lu declined the Candle Dragon's invitation. It must be said, however, that one did deserve another place in a certain canon before it completely tore its face with one person - and it worked tirelessly for a year. Perhaps one of the things it said was true—they don't kill each other.
However, once the seal was broken, the power of the Lu became stronger and stronger. It seems that with Li Zhen's experience, the candle dragon realizes that it must maintain the strength of the Lu at a level that can be restrained by it. Thus, the xenomorphs and force field limiting devices along the lake can also be explained.
In the end, Li Zhen followed the clues to get here, and at that time, the candle dragon was still doing what he had been doing for a year.
That is to say......
"You heard my conversation with it." Li Zhen said in a deep voice.
Lu nodded silently.
"So what do you think about that?"
The crimson has faded to the ankles. Once it regains its human-like form, it seems that the pain becomes more intense. So Lu's brow furrowed even tighter. In ancient books, it is said that Lu is a very beautiful goddess, which is worthy of Li Zhen's name, especially when wearing such a shirt.
Even if he still has doubts in his heart, he feels that he does not distinguish between friend and foe. I still can't help but have a hint of admiration from the bottom of my heart.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was a night kite. However, the night kite is compared to this one. The light dimmed. "Looks like a celestial" refers to such a look.
So he frowned slightly and pinched his fingers.
Now is certainly not the time to think about such a thing. Not to mention that she may not be a "friend", on the other hand...... She is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor.
And themselves and a lot of people. He is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Now the ancient bloodline in his body is gradually awakening. In a sense, he can call himself the successor of the Yellow Emperor. It can even be said that he is the closest to the Yellow Emperor.
This means that this Lu in front of him should be regarded as his ancestor......
Although this "ancestor" is not the cold, lifeless tablet enshrined on the table, nor is it a gray-haired old woman. But he still had a peculiar sense of disobedience in his heart.
He had thought about it before—for example, someone who had traveled back in time to ancient times and got married......
Isn't Anzhi incest?
Li Zhen shook his head slightly, expelling all these thoughts from his mind.
Not thinking about these times...... Not thinking about these times......
He sighed in his heart with some distress. Why are your thoughts so confused? It's not like me at all.
At this time, Lu replied to his words-
"If you help me, I'll help you."
The sound has become more and more pleasant, like the jingle of wind chimes. Li Zhen let himself withdraw two more steps, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then raised his head again: "Then ask you the last question." Since you are in such a position, why will it be sealed? And after sealing you, why did you use this thing to bind you? In my opinion, this is not what a father should do to his daughter. ”
Lu's eyes widened, and for the first time, a faint smile appeared. However, it was a wry smile. She said softly: "Father even sealed himself, why won't he seal me?" ”
"This should be a world that belongs to people. And I, even myself, seemed to him to be the one who could destroy this world. So he caused me to swallow his flesh and imprisoned me. And what happened after that—why I was here, I don't know. ”
Swallow flesh. Li Zhen stared at her, and the other party no longer had any intention of twisting, as if the thin layer of clothing provided her with enough security.
This means that the flesh and blood of the Yellow Emperor can seal the species? Maybe compared to being suppressed by a corpse like Chi You, this method can indeed be regarded as mild.
Li Zhen thought about what she said carefully. During this time, Lu remained silent, his feet sunk into the bronze pedestal, and he did not move.
I really can't find anything to be suspicious.
If there is any doubt, it is why the candle dragon did not strike at this person just now, knowing that she might become an enemy.
If they are actually in a group, they can get by.
If it is said that it does not dare to delay much because it is here, or if it is true that the species will not kill each other, it will be okay.
In the face of a stranger, it is not a reliable thing to judge whether it is "good" or "bad" based on just ten minutes of conversation and rumors from ancient books. So Li Zhen exhaled and smiled: "Okay." I believe you. If there are other questions, we'll talk about them later. ”
"But have you ever thought about what to do after you get out of trouble? Know what you look like and what the legend is...... It's a little different. Li Zhen spread out his hand, "Do you know the rumors about you?" ”
In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was that this one didn't seem to have any value to be "saved". She's a species, but she's afraid of pain!
He prefers to, if possible, some way continue to seal her up, buried deep underground. She is not human, even if she is buried for thousands of years, she will not die, and if she loses consciousness again, it will really be a "rest".
Because there are too many aliens in this world. Human beings will still fight with each other to the point where they want to get rid of each other as soon as possible, let alone species. In this group, he only trusted himself, and even for Ying Long, he maintained a minimum of vigilance.
And now he knows Lucifer's other identity - Candle Dragon. He had completely shaken off the shock and joy he had felt when he saw the dragon for the first time.
Lu didn't seem to be as ignorant and ignorant as she seemed. She seemed to have figured out what the other party wanted to express as soon as Li Zhen's voice fell. So she raised her right hand and gently squeezed her fingers.
Li Zhen immediately heard a series of subtle crisp sounds.
It was as if countless cracks spread out in the surrounding stone walls and the soil layer beneath the ground, making bursting sounds one after another. And the popping sound converged in one place in a very short time, merging into a single hum.
As a result, a faint smoke rose from the ground and the stone wall, and at the same time, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone wall, and finally turned into fine and dry dust.
Lu stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark river at the bottom of the pit.
Li Zhen looked in the direction she was pointing—
only to find that the dark river has disappeared.
What was left was a dry riverbed, more than a dozen meters deep. The ground at the bottom of the riverbed cracked, as if it had been exposed to the scorching sun for dozens of days, and not even a trace of moisture could be seen.
One of the most commonly used words when referring to Lu is "Chichi Chiri". But judging by the abilities she's showing right now...... This description seems to be a little petty.
Li Zhen sighed. He wanted something that wasn't the outcome. He knew that the strength of this person might be quite strong, but now he didn't need a "thug" of unknown origin. He has important things to do, and he doesn't plan to go with anyone else. But let her out, and then tell her to go to Yuzhou or South Luzon?
No one in their right mind would just run over to it.
His gaze fell on Lu's feet. It was a pair of beautiful and smooth feet. Her skin became elastic as she took on a human form, and the depression she had once stood on seemed to be no longer able to restrain her. The only thing that kept her from getting out was the thick chains that ran through her slender ankles.
But there was no blood coming out of the terrible wide wound.
Li Zhen stared at her beautiful feet for a while, raised his head, and asked softly, "Why don't you walk down by yourself?" It's much easier than asking for help. ”
He shook his head and smiled again: "Actually, as a woman who has given birth, or as a species, this kind of fear of pain is really unusual." (To be continued......)
