Before Chu Ze could swallow the water, he couldn't help but spit it out.

"Ahem!you, what did you just say?" Chu Ze was a little skeptical that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Gu Qingning with a questioning face.

Gu Qingning's face became more and more ruddy, and it looked particularly interesting in the white moonlight, so he whispered: "You, did you not hear clearly, or you still can't believe it?"

Chu Ze was stunned, he really couldn't believe it, just thought that he hadn't heard it clearly, and just pretended to be casual and wanted to pour another glass of water, although he choked, it was always a little embarrassing to sit like this.

But Gu Qingning didn't intend to skip it like this, "If you don't hear clearly, I'll say it again, I said, I want you to marry me!"

This time, Gu Qingning bit out word by word, even if Chu Ze was a dying old man with poor hearing, he should be able to hear what Gu Qingning was saying.

Chu Ze also knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, people said it so clearly, it was not a way for him to pretend like this again, he had two or three glasses of water before he sobered up a little, "Miss Qingning, are you serious?"

Gu Qingning nodded without hesitation, with a serious expression, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"I think you are!" Chu Ze said righteously.

Gu Qingning knew that it was a little bad to talk to him about this matter so rashly, after all, they had only known each other for half a month, and now they were talking to him about marriage, which was indeed a bit abrupt, and Chu Ze was not the person in her mind, but now that she was the last hope of the ancient god clan, her marriage could not be decided by herself.

But after all, Gu Qingning grew up in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and her face is also very thin, since Chu Ze is now refusing euphemistically, then she doesn't want to be cheeky and reluctant, "Since that's the case, then you just treat me as a joke, I'll go first!"

Then Gu Qingning disappeared into the moonlight, Chu Ze sighed helplessly, it was really a big joke, but since she chose such a secret time to talk about it, no one else must know, forget it, just treat it as if nothing happened tonight, thinking about it, she slowly fell asleep, then Gu Qingning never thought that such a word would actually cure Chu Ze's insomnia.

The moonlight gradually sank, as transparent and clean as jade, and the dead wood of the desert seemed to be sprinkled with silver dust, everything was so peaceful and beautiful.

"Grandpa Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't succeed!" Under the tree, there were two people sitting side by side, it was Gu Qingning and Gu Yu.

Gu Yu stroked Gu Qingning's hair, with a kind smile on his face, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's already very brave for you to take this step, even if you don't succeed, it's just expected." ”

Gu Qingning raised her head, there were tear stains in the corners of her eyes, she wiped away the tears, and plunged into Gu Yu's arms, "Grandpa Yu!"

Gu Yu gently patted Gu Qingning's shoulder, and suddenly a fresh breeze came, "Qingning, I know that you have tried your best, even if you don't succeed, it's nothing, and it won't be without a chance in the future." ”

Gu Qingning raised her head, the hair on her forehead was a little messy, and swayed with the breeze, "Then Grandpa Yu, why does it have to be Chu Ze?"

At this point, Gu Yu seemed to have remembered what happened many years ago, "Chu Ze is not a simple person, and his future achievements will inevitably surpass his predecessors, so we must befriend him, and when necessary, it is not impossible to even let him be the helmsman of my ancient god clan!"

"Grandpa Yu?" Gu Qingning was a little surprised, not to mention why Grandpa Jade had such a high opinion of Chu Ze, after all, they didn't know each other, they just met, and besides, the Ancient God Clan has always only passed on people in the clan, and there has never been a precedent for people with foreign surnames to control the Ancient God Clan.

Gu Yu saw Gu Qingning's thoughtful expression, and said: "I know what you are thinking, you believe that Grandpa Yu, Na Chu Ze must not be a koi in the pool, one day he will incarnate a dragon, as for the clan rules, now that my ancient god clan is already in turmoil, then Gu Ying colludes with the demon clan, if you don't make some changes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a glimmer of life in such a situation." ”

Gu Qingning also nodded, she was also clear about the current situation, and Gu Yu had been the second elder of the Gu God Clan for so many years, so his vision was naturally not short-sighted, since he did this, he must have his reasons, so Gu Qingning didn't ask any more, just lay in Gu Yu's arms and quietly enjoyed the desert breeze and the bright moonlight.

......

When the first rays of the morning sun fell on this desert, Chu Ze and the others got up and left, and their destination this time was the rear area of the Hunter Alliance, and its center was a city called Moon City.

Moon City, built next to the oasis, because the shape of the oasis resembles a round of crescent, so the city is called Moon City, Moon City is the richest city in the Hunter Alliance, but because the hunters go out to explore and fight all year round, so the hunters' camp is not stationed here, but in the remote desert area.

Chu Ze and the others didn't want to startle the snake, so they didn't meet the city lord with great fanfare, but just dressed up like a civilian, and just found an inn and stayed.

At this time, the four of them were doing a systematic analysis of the information that had been collected.

"According to the news given by Brother Lu, during this time, a total of thirty-four people were sucked souls and died, of which twenty were capable people, generally around fourth-order ability, and there was also one fifth-order ability!

When Chu Ze said this, even he himself was shocked.

"Child, those people don't even let go of children?" Jing Xuan said viciously, at this moment she was like a mother, showing infinite maternal brilliance.

"Why do you want to suck the soul of a child?" Qian'er asked cautiously, after all, the soul of a child is generally weak, if these people want to absorb the soul power, why would they choose the child to attack?

Gu Qingning on the side thought of something, "As far as I know, a child's soul is extremely pure, and I once saw in a book, for some special situations, although a child's soul is not as strong as an adult, its purity is indeed beneficial to some diseases." ”

"Could it be that they want to use the child's soul to heal the disease?" Chu Ze was also skeptical, after all, Gu Qingning was born in the Ancient God Clan, and he still trusted Gu Qingning very much in terms of knowledge in the medical Dao.

"It's really a group of crazy brutes, who actually use children to treat diseases!" Jing Xuan couldn't help but burst into foul language, after all, the worst person she had ever seen in her life was just the black inorganic and dream pupil who killed her grandfather, and that was a battle of power, in terms of morality, Jing Xuan had nothing to condemn, but now this group of people is really bad.

"And what about the twenty capable people? they are basically adults, why do you want to suck their souls?" Qian'er questioned again, after all, the souls of the capable ones are only slightly stronger, but they are not pure.

Chu Ze thought for a moment before he spoke: "I think, this should be their other purpose!"

"Another purpose?" the three women were all surprised.

Seeing the disbelieving look of the three women, Chu Ze continued to explain, "Commander Yun Fan also told me before that most of this matter was done by the Spirit Clan, even if it was not done by them themselves, it must have nothing to do with them! ”

Jing Xuan nodded, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, "But how many people have died just now, it is impossible for the Spirit Clan soldiers to rely on these souls to support them." ”

"Of course not!" Qian'er immediately denied her, and then explained: "If it is not bad, presumably they started a massacre in some place we don't know about long before the start of the war, collecting the souls of those who are powerful. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Qingning suddenly thought of something, and then his face was full of horror, "Could it be that the slaughter of the demon clan before was also for the spirit clan?" As soon as the words came out, everyone also thought of something terrible, after all, if the spirit clan had the support of the demon clan behind them, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to win this war if they wanted to win a big victory.

"It's not that scary!" Chu Ze said comfortingly, "After all, Mr. Sima has been keeping an eye on the movements of the Demon Clan now, if the Demon Clan is supporting the Spirit Clan behind his back, how can he not know? ”

All the women nodded, it is true, this matter may really be too much to think about, no matter what, the spirit race is a new race derived from the human race, even if there is a conflict with the human race, it will definitely not be contaminated with the demon race, after all, even if they are no longer humans, but the depths of their souls are still extremely repulsive to the demons.

Seeing that the women were relieved, Chu Ze continued: "So, from this point of view, this whole thing, the Spirit Clan should have been premeditated, and their purpose is to cure a certain disease and increase the number of soul bodies!"

All the women nodded, it seems that this spirit clan is not a good stubble, and they must be cautious.

"Then have you thought of any good countermeasures?" Jing Xuan asked with a smile when he saw that he had analyzed it so thoroughly.

Chu Ze shook his head, and for a while he didn't have any good ideas.

The third girl is also you look at me, I look at you, her face is full of sadness, and she finally looks at Chu Ze together.

Chu Ze also sensed that something was wrong, so he raised his head and looked at the third girl's gaze as if he was going to eat people, with a hint of chill rising, "You guys, what do you think I do?" There was a bit of apprehension in his words, after all, the three in front of him were all aunt-level tasks, and none of them could be provoked.

The three girls couldn't help laughing, and Jing Xuan was the first to speak, "We want you to be the bait to catch that fish!"
