Chapter Seventy-Three: A Guest Comes from Far Away
He snapped a sharp piece of wood from the branch he had broken earlier, then took a slight step back and stabbed the object deep into his left wrist. A tingling sensation came, and blood flowed profusely. Li Zhen quickly pulled out the wood chip and handed his wrist to Beichuan: "Quick." ”
Kitagawa Harumi did not hesitate to paste it.
It feels weird. The girl's lips were warm, and the wound was healing rapidly, ticklish. He could feel Kitagawa sucking and the blood flowing through his body — reminding him of a movie he had seen before, "Interview with the Vampire." Vampires when making offspring...... Do the same.
It's just that I don't know what kind of people I can make.
He didn't cut the blood vessels with wooden strips, so the wound healed quickly. Kitagawa seems to cherish his own blood...... She also licked the blood off her wrist with her tongue after the wound had healed before she looked up.
Their eyes met, and both of them turned their gazes in unison. Whether intentionally or not...... The movements just now seem to be a little ambiguous.
So they sat down under the tree and waited for Kitagawa Harumi to react.
The sea in the distance was calm, and a few wisps of white clouds drifted in the sky. If you don't see the shells and reefs rolling up from the sea on the beach, you would think that this sea area is a beautiful place on earth.
Time passed slowly, and the sun rose into the sky.
Kitagawa Qingming frowned slightly and took a breath. Li Zhen heard a slight sound and turned his head and asked, "Have you reacted?" ”
Kitagawa closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and said hesitantly, "I'm not sure...... I suddenly felt a little flustered. ”
Then she held out her hand. Pick up a leaf from the ground. The leaves were knocked down by last night's waves, and now they are a little soft. There are water droplets left on it, rolling slightly. And Kitagawa Harumi tapped on the blade with his other hand.
The drops of water did not touch her fingers, but ...... Turned into ice crystals.
Li Zhen shouted happily: "It's done!" ”
Kitagawa Harumi didn't speak, but frowned again—as if exerting force.
So in the blink of an eye, a thin layer of hoarfrost crept up on the surface of the leaf. The soft leaves became hard, and the whole leaf froze.
Li Zhen laughed.
Kitagawa didn't speak, however—she picked up another leaf and tried it.
But this time...... The leaves are unresponsive.
She sighed, crumpled the leaf in her palm, and shook her head: "No." ”
Li Zhen hesitated and asked, "It's obviously effective—otherwise...... Drink some more? ”
Kitagawa smiled: "It's not a question of strength or weakness, it's a recession." Don't drink your blood dry. Look at it this way. The island...... The more capable people are, the more restrictive they are. It's strange how you ......."
Li Zhen shook his head. Spread his hands: "I don't know what to say - I want to figure it out more than you do." ”
Then he stood up and picked up the previous branch from the ground: "Come on, I'll continue digging the tunnel, just be prepared." Looks like we're going to have to stay here for two or three more days - I'm just afraid those guys will rush up tonight. Since your abilities are declining, then that thing ......"
He looked at the egg: "Maybe next time it won't save your life." ”
Kitagawa stood up: "I'll help you." ”
However, the island seemed destined to surprise them.
First, Kitagawa Qingming's footsteps paused slightly. Then, in the distance, the sound of breaking waves suddenly sounded on the sea. Li Zhen turned around vigilantly and looked over-
The dragon reappeared.
Their long bodies churn below the surface of the water. A blue-black back looms between the waves. More than a dozen giant dragons were entangled in one place. It's scary to look at.
"They're going crazy again?!" Li Zhen subconsciously snorted.
"No, you look at their direction." Kitagawa Harumi covered his heart with his hand and pointed into the distance. "Their target is not us. Maybe it'...... Something is coming. ”
And so it was. Those giants were looking out—looking at where Li Zhen and Beichuan came from. The island's area of influence is roughly more than 5,000 meters, and the dragons gather in this water and roll and roar, as if they feel some kind of threat. The largest one I had seen even leapt out of the sea, stretched its neck, and roared like thunder into the distance, as if it were a demonstration.
Kitagawa Qingming took a step back slightly and helped up a big tree beside him: "Li Zhen, I'm very flustered......"
Li Zhen realized that something was out of the ordinary. Kitagawa Qingming is not the kind of girl who screams in fear when she sees cockroaches, and she won't behave like this because of the abnormality of those dragons - her eyebrows are tightly locked, her face is pale, and her forehead even oozes a slight sweat.
He thought of something. So he asked in a deep voice: "In addition to panic, what else do you feel?" Do you feel ...... Afraid? ”
The word "scared" seems to make Kitagawa quite embarrassed. However, she still nodded: "It's a little scared, but I don't know what the road is for—it's a strange feeling." ”
So Li Zhen's face was solemn, he threw away the branch in his hand, and squinted his eyes to look into the distance. Yet the sea and the sky were still calm – nothing.
He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Do you remember what I told you—well, I told that one, when I was in Shennongjia, when Adam and Chiyou appeared, everyone could hardly breathe. Later I called that kind of influence 'coercion' – the coercion of the species. That kind of strength can contag people's emotions, make people feel panicked and frightened, and even temporarily lose their ability to move. You've experienced the impact of this egg, right? Emotions are almost out of control—"
Kitagawa Harumi's eyes widened: "You mean ......"
"Maybe there's a species approaching." Li Zhen's face was solemn, "Quite a powerful species—it affects you at such a distance. ”
Kitagawa gasped.
They were already overwhelmed by these alienated dragons......
What if there was another species...... So what to do?
"Yes...... Lucifer? She asked in a low voice.
At the moment, this is the only one they can think of. Lucifer, who had just woken up, was able to be projected a few days ago. This means that that guy must already have extremely powerful power - you must know that when Lu Dao Chiyou was just able to act, he couldn't even use his own spiritual energy.
So...... Is it here for this egg?
Li Zhen smiled reluctantly: "That thing should also be affected by this island...... It doesn't come by. ”
Then he muttered to himself - I hope it doesn't come by. If you also landed on the island as recklessly as yourself...... With that huge body alone, it's not something that two people can handle.
The wind is blowing.
The leaves rustle around him. There is a hint of sea smell in the wind, which is very light and light.
Li Zhen thought about it, picked up the branch again, and chopped off the smaller branches on it, leaving only a bare trunk. Kitagawa looked at him uneasily, and was about to ask him, "Are you going to use this to fight that species?" when he found that he had walked next to the egg.
"If it's Lucifer." Li Zhen said softly, "At least we still have a hostage." Species are not beasts...... They are also quite intelligent. Even if it's dead, I'm going to figure out what they are before I die. ”
Kitagawa Qingming nodded solemnly and stood against the trunk of the tree.
She knew that the thing was getting closer.
Because she began to feel a little weak in her hands and feet...... It's like when I was very young, I saw a big dog barking at me.
At that time, children may not know how the dog will bite and what the consequences will be. However, the long evolutionary process of human beings has left a lot of information deeply in the genes - even if they are ignorant of what is in front of them, they will have an instinctive fear.
It is the memory of countless generations of victims that remain in the depths of consciousness, or rather...... Instinct.
Instinctively in awe of something that doesn't seem to be controllable by consciousness alone.
Even today, humans are already the most powerful creatures on this planet, but when faced with the species, a figure like Kitagawa Harumi who stands at the peak of the world's realm of abilities is powerless to compete.
That's what it is......
Coercion.
The dragons in the sea were even more irritable, and even one or two plunged into the deep water after tumbling violently, and disappeared again.
Only the largest one, which even had two small bumps on its forehead, led a dozen or so other giant dragons to raise their heads high in the water like pythons, and let out one roar after another in the distance.
The terrible creature that chased Li Zhen and fled in embarrassment last night now looked a little pitiful and ridiculous in his eyes.
Because he remembered that he had seen a kitten blow up and let out a low growl at a large dog. However, the dog watched it for a while, pounced on it, and almost killed it.
And now these dragons look like the cats.
Five minutes later, a cloud appeared on the horizon.
That's the white clouds, too, but it's different. Because it's moving—slowly, but inexorably, toward the island. It came from high in the sky, expanded rapidly in a dozen seconds, and finally turned into a thick cloud that took up half of the sky. The cloud layer is very low, perhaps only a kilometer or two above the sea, like a cumulonimbus cloud.
However, the cumulonimbus clouds do not roll like it, like a thick water vapor that has been imprisoned in one place by some force.
Harumi Kitagawa beside him took a deep breath and let out a moaning gasp. Li Zhen held her cold palm with one hand, tightened it, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. ”
His voice also seemed to have magical powers, and Kitagawa Harumi's face became a little better. When he was in the tomb of Shennongjia, he used a break to free his comrades from Adam's coercion. Although there is no immediate effect at the moment, it still reassures Beichuan's heart. (To be continued.) )
