Chapter III: Identity Revealed
Qiubai packed up the bed on the ground early in the morning, and looked at Lang Yi, who was coughing constantly on the wooden bed, silently praying in his heart that he could get better as soon as possible. Since Uncle Ying died five years ago, Lang Yi has been taking care of himself, and this brother, who is only a few years older than him, has been risking to the ground to grab food from the unscrupulous demon clan in order to find a bite to eat for his younger self.
Three years ago, Lang Yi was seriously injured in a dispute on the ground, but fortunately a demon clan who happened to go to the ground to find food saved his life, that is, Qiu Bai, who was only seven years old at the time, began to follow others to pick up some food on the ground that others could not look down on, and at the same time learned demon medicine from the old demon clan to cure Lang Yi's injuries.
Qiu Bai put on the wolf tail and ears that Uncle Ying had left for him, walked out of the cave, closed the door gently, and hurried to the fourth floor where he was digging.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the sixth floor of the dungeon, I saw a boy with a fox tail waiting in the probe, and when I saw Qiubai coming, the foxtail boy hurriedly ran over and grabbed Qiubai's hand and said, "Brother Bai, you are finally here, go! I will take you to see my father and ask my father to arrange a better job for you."
"Thank you, little fox!"
Qiu Bai looked at the little fox waiting for him there, just to find a relaxed life for himself, and was very moved.
The little fox took Qiu Bai's hand and skillfully drilled around in the tunnel under the dim fluorescence: "Brother Bai, what are you polite to me, every time you are looking for food on the ground, you lure those people away, if it weren't for the past few years, we might have a lot of trouble." Hey, it's here, Daddy and Brother Bai are here. ”
Qiu Bai was dragged by the little fox into a half-dug cave next to the entrance of the fourth floor, and the furnishings inside were also very simple, only a table made of dug stones and a stone chair, the stone table was messily placed with a bunch of animal skin scrolls, and a big man sitting on the stone chair was looking at a scroll in his hand intently, listening to the cry of the little fox, he put down the scroll and got up and walked in front of Qiu Bai.
"This is my father, Hu Yue. The little fox looked at the big man who came and introduced.
Qiu Bai was stunned when he saw the little fox's father, this is also the fox clan? The fox demon is famous for his handsomeness or beauty, and the big man in front of him is definitely a fox demon from his big tail unique to the fox clan, but the big man is bare-chested and shows a candle dragon-like muscle, more like a person from the tiger clan.
The big man touched the little fox's head dotingly, and then let the little fox go out first, leaving Qiu Bai alone, looked Qiu Bai up and down, and said with a smile: "You are Brother Bai in Xiaoye's mouth! Yes, yes, you are a clever child." Xiao Ye told me every day that he was so powerful that Brother Bai was about to boast about it. ”
"Xiao Ye he has won the prize, I don't know what you want to do to leave me alone?"
Qiu Bai heard Hu Yue's words and hurriedly waved his hand and said, but he also had a question in his heart, the little fox pulled himself over just to let him help dig the dungeon and eat. But seeing that the little fox's father left him alone, it seemed that there was something to keep the little fox knowing.
Hu Yue smiled at Qiu Bai and walked back to the stone table, picked up the scroll in his hand and said, "Qiu Bai, you know that we have been digging dungeons. We have been digging down, and the first two floors are enough for everyone to live in, so why do we spend countless manpower and material resources to keep digging down?"
Hearing this, Qiu Bai scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this! Didn't you keep saying that it was to expand the activity space?" This Qiu Bai really doesn't know, when he chatted with Lang Yi earlier, he was also wondering why he had been expanding the dungeon, saying that it was for everyone to have more space to live and move, but the first two floors were almost enough for everyone to live in, and the third floor had not been moved in since it was dug up, and the conclusion was that Qiu Bai Jue was full of food, and Lang Yi said that this was an excuse made in the central demon city in order to let everyone continue to give them food.
Hu Yue waved his hand and said: "Xiaobai, do you think this place can really allow us to survive? The demon clan is based on the demon pill, and the demon pill needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth all the time, which is originally an advantage of our demon clan compared with the human race, and this advantage has become a poison in this place where the aura of heaven and earth is exhausted. ”
Qiu Bai naturally understood what Hu Yue meant in his heart.
The demon clan is born with Dan, the demon pill since the demon clan was born between this heaven and earth and then runs on its own, once the demon clan loses the demon pill, it will be killed, and the light will turn into the original form of the wheel for the genus of the beast, this forgotten land aura can not be generated, in the past ten years, the demons have almost exhausted the aura here, and every day there are demon clans who die because of the depletion of the demon pill.
This topic is too heavy, the future of the demon clan here is that there is no future, whether it is those who fight on the ground in order to survive or hide in the dungeon to survive, in this place will eventually die because of the depletion of the demon pill, which makes Nuo Qiu unable to answer.
Hu Yue looked at Qiu Bai's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped: "You also understand that we have no future here, and what awaits us must be death!"
"But what does this have to do with this digging dungeon?"
Although Qiubai knew this, he really didn't understand what it had to do with the lower city.
"We have to escape, escape from this cage, we must also escape for the sake of those children!" Hu Yue suddenly smashed his fist on the stone table, blood splashed instantly, Hu Yue didn't care and continued: "This forgotten land is not affected by the turbulence of time and space, there must be something to it, as long as we find this thing, we will definitely be able to escape from this cage with the help of it!." ”
"This!"
Qiu Bai's heart was shocked, in the past ten years, everyone has been thinking about escaping from a place all the time, and after trying countless methods, after paying a lot of lives, the result is not to mention escaping, and even spreading the news that there are still people alive here can't be done, so disheartened that the demon clan can only accept this ending, and most of the demon clans who are about to dry up the demon clan have chosen to enter the endless space-time turbulence outside at the last moment of their lives, to fight for that line of life that is almost impossible, and suddenly heard what Hu Yue said Qiu Bai's heart burned a glimmer of hope。
It's just that it's more difficult to stay here, but as long as you don't cultivate spiritual power, it's just a matter of making progress every time you practice, as long as you are usually careful, you can still live. But Lang Yi can't do it, he is a demon clan and must have the aura of heaven and earth to live, no matter how hard he tries to heal his injuries here, he can only watch Lang Yi die because of the depletion of the demon pill, this is what Nuo Bai has never dared to face, and he has never mentioned it, maybe as long as he doesn't mention Lang Yi, he won't die.
Qiu Bai suddenly saw hope, and his whole body seemed to be full of energy and strength, so as long as he worked hard in this dungeon, he could save Lang Yi out, and said busily: "Uncle Hu Yue is reversible, I will definitely work harder, I will definitely find that thing!"
Hu Yue looked at Qiu Bai's excited expression and smiled slightly: "I didn't come to you to work, and we don't need a child to help us dig." ”
Qiu Bai was stunned: "Then Uncle Huyue, what are you looking for me for? No matter what you do, you just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best!"
"Xiaobai, we have found something that can suppress the turbulence of time and space. ”
After Hu Yue finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Bai quietly, as if he wanted to see through him.
Qiu Bai's heart was furious when he was looked at by the fox, and cautiously probed: "Is it possible for us to go out?"
Hu Yue didn't answer his words and still looked at him quietly, Qiu Bai didn't know why he was, he didn't dare to go to Yu Hu Yue's eyes and stood with his head lowered.
After a long time, Hu Yue said: "We found that thing, it is on the fourth floor of this place, do you know why we are looking for you? Because that thing will turn into ashes at the touch of the demon race, maybe only the human race can approach it!"
Qiu Bai raised his head violently, looked at Hu Yue in horror, and kept moving his feet in the direction of the cave entrance, ready to run away. How could he have known that I was a Terran!
The human race and the demon race have been incompatible since 10,000 years ago, and the two races are constantly fighting, and the hatred accumulated with tens of millions of flesh and blood is impossible to dissolve. Qiu Bai can only survive in this forgotten place by pretending to be a demon clan, and now he is being revealed by Hu Yue, how not to make Qiu Bai afraid.
What should I do now! What should I do? Qiu Bai's heart was as cold as falling into an ice cave with Hu Yue's words, and the hairs on his back stood up. For a while, my heart was full of the idea of escaping quickly, but what should I do if I escaped from Langyi? Beads of sweat continued to drip down his face.
At this time, Fox Yue walked to Qiu Bai's side and put his left hand on Qiu Bai's shoulder, trembling slightly. Let Hu Yue know how frightened Qiu Bai is now, hey~ This is just a ten-year-old child! Hu Yue patted Qiu Bai on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, child, I have no malicious intent." ”
How could Qiu Bai not be afraid when his identity as a human was discovered again, he looked at Hu Yue's face in a daze and didn't know what to say.
"You must be very curious how I know that the reverse is a human race! The camouflage worn by the reverse is indeed clever, and even the smell can be changed, which can be regarded as a spiritual object, but the better the spiritual thing, the better the spiritual object itself, it must absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to maintain its own commonality, I saw you three years ago, and the spiritual weapon on your body can no longer perfectly cover all of you, plus my fox demon clan is born with a phantom pupil that can see through the illusion of everything in the world, then I knew that the reverse is a human race. ”
Hu Yue turned around and sat down on the stone chair in the aisle, put the scroll in his hand on the stone table, spread it out and beckoned Qiubai to come over.
