Chapter 121: Gods Are Not Merciful
Leaving from the ruins of the Holy Land, if there is no accident, you can reach the demon capital in three or four months, but something happened on the way, so that several people had to speed up and try their best to get to the demon capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Nushu, this snake girl's body doesn't seem to be abnormal, but she has become very tired in the past four or five days, and sometimes she doesn't even want to eat.
There is still more than a month before her birthday, that is to say, if Zhang Ling can't find the cause and solution for her, then Nushu may fall into a deep sleep forever at any time in this month or so.
Xuanhu's huge body was galloping, and when he recovered his body, he was the size of a house, and he rushed up to create a hurricane in this wilderness.
Zhang Ling and the others sat on Xuanhu's back, Qin Ming snuggled in his arms, she was drowsy, she just held on to her spirit and looked at the flashing sky, and gradually felt as if she was running towards death.
Qin Ming's brother and they all say that gods are compassionate, but my mother often says that gods are the most cruel existence in this world, but in fact, she knows that gods may not be compassionate. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let my mother suffer like that, and I wouldn't have been born with the cold eyes and spurning of this world.
It's really cold, and the sun is so warm.
Nushu's little hand tightly grasped Qin Ming's sleeve, and the joints turned pale because of the excessive force. She was only fifteen years old, and for the lifespan of the demon race, she was the childhood of the human race. And she is so young, she has to bear a kind of helplessness about fate, and bear the heavy burden of being oppressed by God's will.
The girl gradually fell asleep, breathing shallowly, but at least there was it.
Qin Ming pitied this child very much, when he was her age, he also had a sibling sister, but she was congenitally disabled and couldn't walk. Even if he later learned the Tao and began to cultivate, he couldn't let his sister go to the ground, and when he finally asked for his master's consent to save his sister, he realized that he hadn't gone back for ten years, and his sister had already returned to the loess.
This matter has always been Qin Ming's regret, so from the first time he saw Nushu, he remembered his sister, and he felt love and pity for the girl in front of him.
"Zhang Ling, haven't you checked out the reason why her body is like this?"
Qin Ming was a little anxious, but he was cautious when he spoke, for fear of waking up the woman in his arms. And although Nushu's breathing is light, she sleeps very deeply, and I'm afraid that even shaking now may not wake her up.
Looking at the girl with a pale face, Zhang Ling didn't want to save her, but her medical skills were shallow, and the body of Nushu was obviously a mutant fetus born after a certain branch of the snake clan had a relationship with humans. So her, strictly speaking, is not a disease at all, but a genetic variation.
As for why this happened, he couldn't say now, and he couldn't find out what was wrong with this mutated body, and he didn't know what caused the change in Nushu. She was drowsy, and the Yuan Force in her body was decreasing little by little, and it seemed that it had passed between heaven and earth. But her body characteristics are normal, which is really incredible.
Now I can only wait for Tianhua to wake up, although Zhang Ling has harassed Tianhua countless times every day, but this time Tianhua seems to be really weak, he has never been awake, and he has not given him any response.
With Xuanhu's foot strength, the speed of several people traveling was much faster.
Originally, Zhang Ling didn't plan to use these spirit beasts, but after getting along for a long time, he had already regarded them as friends, and he was unwilling to let them become his combat power and mount. If it weren't for the inconvenience of taking the female concubine this time, Zhang Ling really didn't want Xuanhu to come out.
But fortunately, although Xuanhu looks vicious, these spirit beasts have been influenced by Ye Luo since childhood, and their temperament is quite pure, and they think that they have received Zhang Ling's great favor in the inheritance pillar of the Demon Emperor Palace, so they will not refuse anything Zhang Ling says.
This time, it can be regarded as a thrill and no danger, and the two secret areas of the Demon Beast Bone Domain and the Heavenly Star Holy Land have given Zhang Ling too much incredible, but he has no time to think about it now. Soon to arrive at the demon capital, now this is the outskirts of the demon capital, there are already some simple houses and households.
Nushu's home is in one of these humble houses.
And now there are only four days left before her birthday, the tenth day of the ninth month.
Tianhua still didn't have any movement, and Zhang Ling's heart began to hang. If Tianhua didn't wake up again, he really didn't know how to treat Nushu, after all, she had been asleep for two whole days now, and she couldn't wake up.
If she can't be saved, maybe she'll have to sleep like this for a long time.
"Who are you?" a middle-aged woman, dressed simply, looked at them with wariness and suspicion in her eyes.
It seems like someone has been coming here lately, but the family doesn't seem to have been out in months.
Qin Ming stepped forward, after all, among the few people, he seemed to be more kind.
"This aunt, we are here to find someone, may I ask if there is a daughter in this family named Nushu?"
Hearing Qin Ming's question, the middle-aged woman became even more vigilant, and there was even inexplicable fear and disdain in her eyes, but she tried her best to hide her expression, rolled her eyes a little impatiently, and said in a strange voice: "Of course, that bewitching snake girl! Who doesn't know her!"
After that, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly leaned closer to Qin Ming and whispered: "This little brother, I advise you, don't look for that girl, her mother is a good person, but there is such a freak daughter, which affects her." And everyone who comes into contact with that maid will die inexplicably, and she has killed several of us here!"
Then she sneaked a look at Zhang Ling and the three of them behind Qin Ming, as well as the big black tiger that seemed to be the size of the house, and her body couldn't help shrinking, feeling that this might be a big man from the demon capital, and she must not offend.
The smile on Qin Ming's face was retracted a little, and his kind aura was also retracted, and even the whole person emitted a fierce anger.
The middle-aged woman thought that the big man was displeased with the woman after listening to her words, so she said even harder: "This adult doesn't know, there are many people who have come to find that demon girl recently, there are big names in the heavenly demons, and there are some little white faces of the human race, but then a few people died inexplicably, and the corpses were thrown on the mass grave not far away." So that nu shu is an ominous person, and even the demon clan rejects her!"
Qin Ming's intolerable anger froze because of her words, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling was also a little surprised, besides them, there was anyone else looking for a female concubine?
"What do those people who came to find this maid look like?" Yang Hao stepped forward and pressed Qin Ming's shoulder.
He knew that Qin Ming had always been very fond of Nushu, and that child was indeed pitiful, this middle-aged woman's words were not good, and he was afraid that Qin Ming would not be able to suppress his anger.
The middle-aged woman was obviously unaware of her dangerous situation, and she spoke with a radiant and triumphant look.
"You guys are asking the right person, I introduced the first few people to them, I have known this girl's mother for more than ten years, and I know her best......
"Tell the point!" Yang Hao frowned and interrupted her words, Rao is own out-of-the-box temperament, and at this time, seeing this woman's chatter, he also had a little headache.
Yang Hao and Huang Changyu had already honed their own blood qi after some pursuit and escape, and they also needed the deterrence of this strong blood qi when they crossed the demon area, so the two of them did not particularly restrain themselves.
Although this middle-aged woman is also a monk, she only has the cultivation in the middle stage of the meditation realm, and it seems that she has just broken through, at this time, seeing Yang Hao like this, she only feels cold in her heart, and even more cold in her body.
Then he put away his chatter, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes! Yes! There were five groups of people, the first of which were two seriously injured men, and asked me if there was anyone here with the head of a snake god, and I brought them here." The second group is four men with some entourage, but I know one of them, the sixth son of the Huang family in the demon capital. The third group is a woman, very beautiful and beautiful, dressed in black, with a very cold personality, but she is very generous. ”
The middle-aged woman paused here when she said this, with a look of fear on her face, but when she saw Yang Hao's face, she still forced herself to say: "This fourth batch is eleven young people, they are Terrans, I don't know them, but of the seven corpses found in the mass grave later, four of them are among this group of people." The last group consisted of seven men and women of various ages, all of whom seemed to have different levels of cultivation, but later I saw the bodies of an old man and a young girl also appear in mass graves. ”
Seven corpses?
Zhang Ling touched his chin, his eyes slightly gloomy.
"You just said that six people died, whose body was the last person?" Yang Hao keenly discovered one of the loopholes and asked the woman.
The middle-aged woman showed a frightened look on her face, and shrunk her arms before she had to reply: "The other person, although I know that it is one of the five groups of people, but I really don't know who it is, I only know that the person died the same as the four human corpses, but he was beheaded, and I can't recognize who he is at all, only that it is a man." ”
"Is it the same as the four corpses?"
His eyes were sharp, and the middle-aged woman he was looking at was obviously frightened, and kept trying to retreat, but she retreated to the corner and couldn't move again. The shadow above her head chilled her heart, and she vowed in her heart that she would never do so much again.
"Yes, it's a little different. The middle-aged woman stammered a little.
Yang Hao had a cold face and didn't speak, but there was a solemn look in his eyes, and the powerful momentum suppressed this woman.
"The corpses of one of the old men and the young girl died in a different state from the previous ones. The old man was mutilated and tightly wrapped in his clothes, while the woman was visibly humiliated, with bruises on her body and not wearing a single ounce of clothing when she was thrown in the mass grave. But the two of them had no internal injuries and could not be detected at all. ”
The middle-aged woman said timidly, not daring to look up. After a long time, she felt that a shadow on her head had faded, but the depression in her heart was heavier, and she didn't dare to look at a few more people, so she hurriedly ran away.
"I can't see it, you have a way of bullying people!" Huang Changyu looked at Yang Hao strangely, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.
Yang Hao just glanced at him, but looked at Zhang Ling.
They all felt a trace of something unusual in their hearts, to say that this female concubine was indeed physically different, and there was not much to live, and it was understandable that Su Tianyi and them were inspired to find their future. It's just that after that, groups of people came to look for her, and some people died inexplicably, so it seems that this matter is a little weird.
Or, Nushu still has some things to hide from them, and besides, they have been here for so long, and the noise is not small, why hasn't Nushu's mother come out yet?
Suddenly, Zhang Ling's heart jumped, and regardless of the suspicion of the three of them, he turned into a ray of light and rushed straight into Nushu's home.
Huang Changyu and the three of them were stunned, Zhang Ling has never been such an impatient character, he broke in directly like this, it was a little unruly! Although the goods didn't seem to care much about the rules all along. Then the three of them also jumped in their hearts, and faintly had some kind of conjecture.
In the humble room, the floor, the furniture were covered with a layer of dust, and the corners were covered with layers of cobwebs, and it was obvious that it had been uninhabited for at least three months.
Zhang Ling didn't stop, ignoring the three people who followed behind him, and went straight to a room that seemed to be a bedroom. The door of the room was also stained with a layer of dust, Zhang Ling pushed it open without hesitation, and then walked in quickly.
The room was cleaner, with a tray and two teacups on a simple wooden table. The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, but it was covered with a layer of dust.
There was no scene in the room that a few people had guessed, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you ask about a strange smell?" Qin Ming frowned and sniffed twice.
Zhang Ling and the others also sniffed carefully, but they didn't smell anything.
However, several people knew that Qin Ming had surpassed them early in both smell and hearing after the Yuan Force mutation, and even when Zhang Ling did not deliberately use Yuan Force, even he was inferior to Qin Ming. The sense of smell is different from the sense of hearing, and even if the effect of Yuan Force is used, it is not much stronger.
Therefore, Qin Ming said that it was normal for him to smell a strange smell, and Zhang Ling and the others did not smell it.
It was only gradually, Qin Ming's face changed, and when he looked at Zhang Ling and the others, there was a trace of panic in his eyes that he didn't even notice.
"What's going on? What do you smell?"
Zhang Ling patted Qin Ming's shoulder, and the warm yuan power passed into Qin Ming's body through his palm, and Qin Ming calmed down.
He didn't speak, just sniffed at something, and then walked out of the door and went in one direction. The courtyard is very simple, except for two bedrooms and a small living room, there is only a small stove room.
And Qin Ming was heading towards the stove room at this time.
The expression on his face became more and more solemn, and his face was slightly pale. The door of the stove room was very thin, but Qin Ming didn't dare to push it open, and he began to panic in his heart, afraid to see that kind of scene, afraid that the female concubine would not be able to withstand this blow in the future!
And after walking here, even Zhang Ling and the others also smelled an extremely unpleasant smell, but the smell was very light, and it was mixed with the smell of some soggy wood and the smell of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables, mixed together, very pungent.
But several people quickly recognized a flavor from the mixed taste, and then their faces became solemn.
That's the stench of rotting corpses!
Huang Changyu took out his sword, and then opened the door of the stove room with the hilt of the sword, and suddenly the unpleasant smell of the mixture came to his nose.
The stove room was very messy, completely different from the tidy bedroom, and it seemed that there had been some fighting, but the traces were not obvious, and it was clear that the resisting side was quickly defeated.
Qin Ming didn't pay attention to anything else, he walked straight to the front of a large vat, and then tremblingly reached out and picked up the lid on the vat, he just glanced at it, and quickly put the lid back on, his whole face became extremely pale, stiffened for a moment, and then quickly ran out of the door, and actually vomited with a 'wow'.
Zhang Ling and the three of them glanced at each other, and Yang Hao stepped forward to open the lid.
Suddenly, an extremely strong stench that seemed to smoke people enveloped several people, but what made the three of them cold and creepy was that the vat was full of wriggling white maggots. Some of the dismembered corpses were piled up in a jar, and in the top of the decaying skull, there was an eye that looked straight ahead, and in the wriggling white, it seemed to be turning, full of endless resentment.
