Chapter 68: Demon Blood
Yun Ying opened his eyes, and he found that he was actually being soaked in some kind of liquid like a specimen. He had a respirator stuffed in his mouth, a mess of things all around him, and he was lying inside a life support pod.
This very uncomfortable feeling made him go back to many years ago in a trance, and he remembered the feeling of being captured by the mad scientist Rost.
Where is this?
How did I end up here.
Yun Ying struggled violently like a drowning man, and finally pushed the hatch open.
He crawled out naked, his auditory vision returned to his body, and there was a feeling of a long absence, as if he had slept for a whole century. His body had not yet fully recovered, and now he looked horrible and terrifying, his skin dry like tree bark, and he was like a zombie that was about to dry out.
The cloud eagle moves its body.
He noticed a sense of blockage all over his body.
When a person manipulates a body, from the generation of consciousness to the formation of action, it is originally a one-time and simultaneous occurrence, and there can be no delayed relationship between consciousness and the body.
Yun Ying now felt this way, he found that he needed to spend more effort to control his actions, and his consciousness and body could not be unified, so he had an indescribable sense of blockage. He felt like an old machine, still in motion, at risk of collapsing at any moment.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
"How did I end up here?"
Yunying had a problem with his short-term memory, so he couldn't remember what was going on at all, like a toddler who had just learned to walk stumbled into this room for a few steps, and finally fell on the table without standing firmly, he waved his hand angrily, causing the bottles and cans on the table to fall to pieces.
At this time, a voice came from behind, mechanical cold and emotionless: "You are content if you don't die." ”
A black figure appeared behind him for some moment.
This person was covered from head to toe in a pitch-black smooth armor, and was wearing a fully covered breathing helmet, with a large pure black cloak on the outside, and Yun Ying handed it over: "You are ...... King of the Eternal Night!"
Eternal Night's eyes flashed red, and he once again uttered an emotionless voice: "You can still remember me, which means that you have not lost your memory, which is a blessing in misfortune for you." ”
"But how did I end up here?"
"Two months ago, during the Battle of the Holy Fortress, you were mortally wounded during the Wilderness Alliance's attack on the Divine Domain, and you were on the verge of death, but we rescued you, and this is the Dark City. ”
Dark City?
Battle for the Holy Fortress?
Wait! It's been two months? Lao Tzu has been in a coma for two months!
Yunying's memory is like an iceberg that has been shattered, and at this moment, all of them have appeared on the surface of the sea, the whole process is very broken and chaotic, and countless pictures are entangled in his mind, making him feel a headache.
The first thing Yun Ying thought of was Oasis: "Why am I in Night City, no, I should go back, everyone else must be waiting for me!"
"Go back, do you think you can go back?" said in the indifferent voice of the Eternal Night, "It is impossible for you to travel through this region in your current physical condition, not to mention that you are now famous in both the Divine Domain and the Wilderness, once you appear anywhere, it will cause all kinds of trouble, especially when the news of returning to the Oasis reaches the Divine Domain, the Oasis will inevitably face a storm-like blow." ”
Yun Ying was stunned for a moment.
He remembered what he had done in the Divine Domain.
This time, the people of the Divine Domain regarded him as the number one demon completely.
"Put on your clothes at once. Yongye said lightly: "Since you have come here, then meet the true owner of this place, and you should thank him and repay him, because if he hadn't made a move, you would have died on the battlefield long ago." ”
Cloud Eagle followed the eternal night out.
It's a huge, dark city.
The whole world is shrouded in a layer of black cloth, like a darkness that has not dispersed for thousands of years, there are no stars, no moon, no sun, only some strange yellow-green-purple halos can be seen, which is very similar to the polar aurora scene, making people not feel that they are still on the earth at all.
Cloud Eagle left the room and walked onto a long suspended bridge.
The abyss is magnificent, and the entire city is built on endless black ruins.
"Night City, the land of eternal night, more than a thousand years ago, this was the main battlefield of the Great War of Gods and Demons. ”
Yun Ying secretly smacked his tongue: "This is where the gods and demons started the decisive battle?"
"Yes, the Demon King and the God King fought in this area, their time and space power interfered with time and space, and countless gods and demons shot at the same time at that time, so they generated terrifying energy and caused permanent spatial distortion, so a world that was forever cold and dead was formed, but it is precisely because there was a war between gods and demons here, so we have enough resources to build a city to train black warriors. ”
This place is too far away from the Tianyun Divine Domain.
The environment of the Gods and Demons Battlefield is very complex and dangerous, and the Heavenly Fortune God Domain has not explored this place for thousands of years.
It didn't seem surprising that Night City had been established for so many years, and they rarely left this area, so they were not known to the Sky Cloud Divine Domain.
Yun Ying walked through a long corridor in the air to a dark castle, and he saw the person he wanted to see in the middle of the palace, more precisely, not a person, but the Demon Elder Candle Yin. Candleshade didn't look in good shape at the moment, and he had a front-to-back wound on his chest that had been left from his battle with Starlight during the Battle of the Fortress two months ago.
So much time has passed.
Hasn't healed yet?
Demons have a life and regeneration ability that is far superior to that of humans, but if they are damaged irreparably, they need to face a thousand times more difficult to heal.
Master Xiyun Starlight's blow was too hard.
It is almost impossible for the candle shade to heal on its own.
It's hard for him to make waves.
When Yun Ying looked over, most of this extremely powerful demon elder's body was soaked in some kind of gaseous energy, and the dark green mist constantly surrounded its body, which seemed to be alleviating the side effects caused by the attack.
I'm afraid this guy's current strength can't play half of what it normally is, so this attack on the Holy Fortress can really be described as harming others and himself, and stealing chickens will not make it a loss.
Candle Yin faced Yun Ying and said, "Do humans know why they saved you?"
Yun Ying frowned and thought for a while, is this question difficult to think about? It can't be because he is handsome so he can save him, so there is only one possibility, and it can only be this possibility: "Because I inherited the power of the Demon King." ”
"You are the inheritor of the Demon King, I have fought side by side with the Demon King, so I will never be wrong about the power of the Demon King, you have his power, you are the next Demon King. Candle Yin said in a slow and weak tone: "As you can see, even if you make a personal move this time, you will eventually lose to Xiyun Starlight, if you say that in this era of this world, who else has any hope of defeating Xiyun Starlight, those old things who are unwilling to come out in the Demon Abyss, and all the high-ranking gods on the sacred mountain...... It's just you!"
"What did you save me for, to get me to deal with Starlight?"
Why didn't Cloud Eagle want to deal with Starlight?
Of course, maybe Candle Yin has a deeper conspiracy, the demons are insidious and cunning, and Yun Ying has to guard against it.
"Deal with Starlight? No! Even if there is such a purpose, it will be a matter for the future, I just want you to survive and let you completely merge with the power of the Demon King. "It's just that with your current state, even through the means of Night City, you will only last for a year or two at most."
Yun Ying believes that the candlestick is not exaggerated.
When he was still in the Oasis, his body was on the verge of collapse.
This war is even more determined to die, how can it be safe and sound now?
Although Yun Ying didn't believe in the demons very much, Candle Yin shouldn't have lied to him, but what could he do with the last two years of his life? How should he face the things in front of him? whether he didn't care about anything and traveled around the world, or did he spend the rest of his life looking for revenge on Yun Xingguang.
"Now there are two ways to save you, one is a quick solution, and the other is a little more effort. ”
Yun Ying's eyes lit up: "What is the first one?"
When the candlestick has not yet spoken.
Eternal Night took the initiative to come out and open the armor.
This guy has obviously been transformed, most of the area is densely packed with machinery, his organs have been completely replaced by all kinds of strange equipment, it turns out that Eternal Night is the same as the crow made of three-eyed beads, and it turns out that he is also a modified person.
"Eternal Night was the same as you are many years ago, dying, seriously injured and dying, but using this method, he finally survived to this day, but if you want to gain something, you must first lose something, and you will lose most of your abilities as a living being. ”
This person is not a ghost or a ghost, Yun Ying can't accept it no matter what.
"What about the second one?"
When Candle Yin heard this question, he stretched his body forward, poked out of the entangled mist, and said to him word by word: "You need to completely inherit the power of the Fusion Demon King!"
Yun Ying was slightly stunned.
Fusion of the power of the Demon King?
"I can feel that most of the power of the Demon King has been fused in your body, and the reason why you can't fuse the rest is all in the bottleneck of your own body, so you need to find one thing - you need the demon blood left over from before the fall of the Demon King, the demon blood of the Demon King can greatly improve your body, and it can allow you to completely master the full power of the Demon King. ”
"Where can I find this kind of thing?"
"Actually, it's not difficult to find, the place we are in is the battlefield of gods and demons, the demon king fell here, and the blood of the demon king naturally fell into the hands of nearby forces, probably in the southwest corner of the battlefield area, there is an abandoned ancient god domain, the blood of the demon king is in this place, go find it......"
With a goal.
Then the next step is much more convenient.
Yun Ying didn't dare to trust Candle Yin easily: "Why do you want to help me?"
Candle Yin let out a burst of demonic laughter, like a frog in the box calling, "You are the heir of the demon king, you are the future king of my clan, as one of the elders of the demon clan, is there any problem with assisting the future demon king?" You have merged with the inheritance gem of the demon king, the inheritance has been unstoppable or interrupted, you don't have to be wary of me, if the demon clan wants to rise, it must be led by a powerful king, and it is impossible for me to destroy the future of the demon clan with my own hands." ”
Yun Ying was thoughtful.
"If my body is in its heyday, I may be able to get the demon blood directly for you, but it's a pity that after being severely damaged by the Xiyun Starlight, my strength has been lost six or seven times out of ten, and no matter how much Night City has just been defeated and severely injured, I can't fight this force head-to-head, so we have to think long-term about taking the demon blood. ”
Yunying always felt that this guy was by no means simple.
But does he have any other choice but to believe in candlesticks now?
After Yun Ying got his purpose, he immediately turned around and left here.
Candle Yin stared at the direction in which Yun Ying left, and a trace of gloom flashed from his scarlet gaze: "Cherish the clouds and starlight...... You wait for me!"
