Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cage
When I saw this person, my heart was shocked, and my face was full of disbelief.
"Why, good grandson, unhappy to see grandpa?" He grinned, and then stepped out of the corner, grabbed an apple from the bowl, and nibbled on it.
But I looked at him with wide eyes and a look of astonishment, and I couldn't speak for a long time.
Because this person turned out to be the eighteenth master who was bent on devouring my bloodline before.
If it weren't for Zheng Ke waking up in time and repelling the Eighteenth Master with a seriously injured body holding the Chiyan Knife, I must have been devoured by the Eighteenth Master at this moment.
And now, he actually appeared in front of me again, why did he come?
Do you still want to devour my blood?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swallow and spat at him, and while looking at him with a wary expression, I turned my head to look at the exit of the tent, where I knew that there were people standing guard, and if there was any movement in the tent, someone would definitely rush in.
But after all, the eighteenth master is the ancestor of my Zheng family, and he has an extremely pure bloodline, if he wants to kill me, with my current physical state, it is estimated that he will not be able to resist at all, and it is difficult to even make a sound.
"You, how did you get out?" I couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth.
That small brew has been completely closed, and the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out, unless they have a strong power to open a crack from the inside, but the eighteenth master doesn't seem to have that kind of power!
"Why, only you are allowed to come out, and I am not allowed to come out with this old bone to breathe?" He threw away the pit, then came to my side and began to look me up and down.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but shrink my neck, but he just shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's only a few days before you can completely devour the dragon yuan in your body, but it's okay, because even my Zheng family ancestor can't guarantee that if you devour the complete dragon yuan, will you directly turn into a pure-blood dragon clan." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, sighed lightly, and then said with a puzzled face: "Strange, why can't I feel the elemental fluctuations in your body?" ”
"Elemental fluctuations? What is that? I asked with a puzzled face, and when the eighteenth prince heard this, he said: "Every person who awakens the bloodline will awaken a kind of speech spirit, and the spirit of speech is our innate talent, which cannot be learned, so every hybrid who awakens the bloodline will definitely awaken a kind of speech spirit." And the so-called spirit of words is to use the essence and blood of the half-breed to hook the elemental power between heaven and earth, and use it for their own use. However, I can't even sense the elemental fluctuations in your body, haven't you awakened the spirit of speech? But how is this possible! ”
I was also puzzled when I heard this.
Those half-breeds who have awakened their bloodlines seem to be very popular, such as Zheng Ke and Li Shihua, who not only have powerful speech spirits, but also have powerful fighting skills.
And I've awakened my bloodline, and I've devoured the legendary Dragon Yuan, so it stands to reason that I'm supposed to be extremely powerful, but I don't feel the slightest change in myself.
Could it be that it was sealed by the five elements together?
"I was not far away when Zheng Ke cast the Five Elements Seal, and I could feel that what he sealed was only the second personality in your body, and he did not seal your bloodline." The Eighteenth Master frowned and muttered, "A half-breed without words? This is really rare, if the ancestor knows, the descendants who have high hopes for him are actually a waste that can't even be released by words, I don't know how to feel! ”
I didn't say anything when I heard it, but in the bottom of my heart, there was a trace of loss.
I thought that after awakening the bloodline, I would have the same powerful and incomparable power as them, but I didn't expect that I was still me, or the useless me.
"However, although you haven't awakened the spirit of speech, your muscles seem to be more active than all of us?" The eighteenth master approached me with a frown, and I wanted to hide when I saw this, but he grabbed my arm, and then his two hands squeezed around me.
I went, I was pinched by the eighteenth master was a chill, goosebumps all over my body, about a few minutes later, the eighteenth master finally withdrew his hand, I saw him smile, said: "Not only the muscle activity is very high, the bone strength is also very high, in ancient times, your body, is a good material for natural martial arts." ”
"Martial arts?" I was stunned, but the Eighteenth Master nodded and said: "Every half-breed will follow the elders of their own family to learn physical skills before they awaken their bloodline, of course, there are also some outliers, such as Zheng Ke, he was born with excellent fighting talent, so even if he doesn't need to learn from others, he can become a strong man." And you haven't been exposed to physical arts until you have awakened your bloodline, so it is almost impossible to become a martial arts master in a short period of time, and it seems that you can only take it slowly. ”
The words of the Eighteenth Master filled me with doubts.
What does he mean, didn't he come to devour my blood?
He seemed to see through what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "Boy, you have devoured Long Yuan, and now your bloodline is even purer than before, almost close to a pure-blood half-blood. If the blood in your body was an immortal medicine for the half-bloods in the past, but now you have become a deadly poison, and if the half-bloods with a low threshold value take your blood, I am afraid that they will be directly transformed into Deadpool. Even if it was me, I wouldn't dare to take your blood casually, if I was really transformed into Deadpool, it would be more than worth the loss! ”
"And what are you doing here?" I asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's for you!" He grinned and said, "After all, you are the descendant of my Zheng family, and I am your grandfather in terms of seniority, how can I watch the descendants of the Zheng family being bullied outside?" Moreover, what do you think is the place of the Wushu Mountain Reserve? For our hybrids, especially those with high blood purity, it is tantamount to a cage! ”
"Cage? What do you mean? I was stunned.
Li Shihua is a member of the Wushu Mountain Reserve, and through the chat in the past few days, I also understand what Li Shihua means by inviting me to join the Wushu Mountain Reserve.
However, I don't know much about the Wushu Mountain Reserve, and Zheng Ke hasn't appeared in the past few days, so I haven't made a decision yet.
"Every half-breed who joins the Wushu Mountain Reserve will be more or less restricted in freedom, and there will be a special person around him who is responsible for monitoring the status of the half-blood, if any of the half-bloods is about to break through the critical value of their own bloodline, then the Wushu Mountain Reserve will control these half-bloods, and then wait for the evaluation of the special person. If the assessment result is that the bloodline is uncontrollable, then it is very likely to be ...... Dispose of it! ”
"Dispose of it?" After hearing the words of the Eighteenth Master, I was shocked.
"Dispose of it...... What do you mean? I swallowed and foamed at the mouth and asked. When the eighteenth master heard this, he grinned and said, "Of course it is...... Click! ”
With that, he placed his palm in front of his neck and made a motion to wipe his neck.
"And because your bloodline is too pure, it must have become an uncontrollable factor in the eyes of some people."
"Then will they imprison me?" I turned my head to look at the exit of the tent, and I knew that outside the exit, there were people standing guard 24 hours a day, could it be that they were just there to protect me?
With so many people in this barren mountain and forest, what could threaten my safety?
Could it be that they are protecting me and spying on me?
"Not for the time being." The Eighteenth Master shook his head and said, "However, they may rate your bloodline, and after grading, they will make a series of decisions, whether to keep you serving in the Wushu Mountain Reserve, or control you, or even secretly dispose of you, all of which need to be decided by the people above." ”
I didn't say anything when I heard this, but the Eighteenth Master continued: "However, the purity of your bloodline is unprecedented, and I think they should reuse you. But I don't know exactly how to use it. In short, without conflicting with the aspirations of our Zheng family's ancestors, you can serve in the Wushu Mountain Reserve. But if there is a conflict with the ambition of our Zheng family ancestors, you must break away from Wushu Mountain. ”
"What is the grand wish of my Zheng family ancestor?" I asked with a puzzled face, and when the eighteenth master heard this, he said: "Kill the gods, and then let everyone in this world be like dragons!" ”
"Killing gods, everyone is like a dragon?" I couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, killing gods I can understand, it is to kill all the pure-blood dragons who are a threat to this world, but how can everyone be like a dragon?
Do you want to learn from those Europeans?
Refining the blood of the gods and refining the elixir of immortality for ordinary people to take?
At this time, I saw that the eighteenth prince suddenly turned his head and glanced at the exit of the camp tent, and then said in a hurried voice: "Zheng Yi, I will protect you secretly during this time, if the reserves of Wushu Mountain want to be unfavorable to you, I will take action." After you're healed, I'll teach you how to do it, and don't tell anyone I've been here! ”
After that, the eighteenth master's figure flashed, and the whole person seemed to turn into a wind, and disappeared from the spot in an instant, only the cloth curtain at the exit of the camp tent was trembling.
And almost at the moment when the eighteenth prince just left, he saw Li Shihua walk in first.
Behind her, there were also several burly men in white coats and masks, at this moment, they walked in without saying a word with various instruments in hand, and when they saw the confusion on my face, Li Shihua said: "Zheng Yi, you don't have to be nervous, every half-breed who is about to join the reserve of Wushu Mountain must go through the bloodline level evaluation, and it is very safe." ”
"But I'm ...... I haven't decided to join the Wushu Mountain Reserve yet. I looked at the men in the white coats with a wary look on my face and said, "Can I not rate?" ”
Li Shihua didn't say anything when he heard this, but the burly man at the head said in a deep voice: "You can refuse to join the Wushu Mountain Reserve, but you can't refuse the bloodline evaluation, I, the Wushu Mountain Reserve, have the right to evaluate any half-breed in this world, if it is resistance, then we also have the right to use force!" ”
I'll go, these burly men seem to be going to do something to me if they don't agree with each other, this Wushu Mountain Reserve is completely a special violent organization!
"Draw blood!" As the burly man's voice fell, several people in white coats immediately stepped forward, and I instinctively wanted to resist when I saw this, but Li Shihua shook his head at me secretly.
I have experienced so much with Li Shihua, and she risked her life to save me many times, so I guess it will not hurt me, so after seeing her shake her head, I gave up resisting.
After the blood was drawn, these people left without saying a word, and only after they left did Li Shihua say: "The Wushu Mountain Reserve is responsible for monitoring every half-breed in this world, not only to take blood samples for evaluation, but also to inject a signal emission source into its body if it is a particularly high-level existence, if something happens, the headquarters can locate these mixed-race races with a particularly high bloodline level at any time." ”
Do you want to inject a signal source?
I frowned secretly, it seems that what the eighteenth master said is right.
This Wushu Mountain Reserve is completely a cage that binds the half-bloods!
And at this moment, I finally understood why those people looked at me differently.
Because the half-breed does not seem to be accepted by this world.
In their eyes, we are monsters, beasts that can cause infinite killing!
