Chapter Twenty-Three: Mourning Grass
"Hmm......"
When Du Changsheng opened his eyes with difficulty again, all the scenes in front of him slowly became clear.
It's still a stone house built of stone, but the inside of the house is obviously a lot more simple and comfortable, there are a lot of stone tables, stools and chairs, and even the animal skins lying under him look luxurious, and it seems to have a unique fragrance of a girl.
"Ah, you're awake!"
A crisp sound mixed with surprise came, as beautiful as a clear spring flowing by.
Only then did Du Changsheng notice that there was a girl with three-dimensional facial features at the foot of the bed, it was Lolita, and it seemed that Du Changsheng woke up because the movement was too loud to wake her up.
Du Changsheng wanted to get up, but suddenly there was a sharp pain on his body, and he grinned in pain.
He looked down and found that his body was tightly wrapped in bandages, and there seemed to be some unknown herb in it, and there was a cold feeling to relieve the pain.
"Oh, don't move, I've just been so badly injured, I need to rest well, I'll help you what you do."
Seeing that Du Changsheng wanted to get up but was grinning in pain, Lolita chuckled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Okay."
Du Changsheng gasped and didn't dare to move anymore.
It seems that the battle left a lot of sequelae for himself, and he needed to recuperate, but it was not revealed under the action of the super adrenal glands at that time.
It's just a bandage on this body......
Du Changsheng suddenly raised his head to look at Lolita and nodded at her, a look of gratitude appeared in his dark eyes.
"Thank you for helping me bandage my wounds twice, I have a heart!"
The bright gaze made Lolita a little shy, a touch of crimson spread from her neck to her cheeks, she lowered her eyes embarrassedly, and the crimson pupils unique to barbarians avoided Du Changsheng's gaze.
"No... It's okay, in fact, if it weren't for me, Daddy wouldn't have gone out to catch slaves and came back, and you wouldn't have been injured. ”
Lolita explained, saying this, she seemed to blame herself a little, her voice was a little lower, and there was a sadness in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Du Changsheng asked curiously, he vaguely felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have something unspeakable.
"Since I can't awaken the bloodline, I'll be sent to the Frostfire Tribe as a tribute on my sixteenth birthday, unless I can awaken the bloodline or have enough bloodstones."
"That's why Daddy had to go out and take slaves to compete in the gladiatorial arena to win Bloodstone, and sometimes he even risked his own life to fight duels, all because I ......"
Lolita's voice grew quieter and quieter, and tears were already rolling in the corners of her eyes.
"Wait, don't cry yet."
"Shhhh
Looking at the rather cute girl in front of him with tears in her eyes, Du Changsheng was suddenly in a hurry, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only carefully put his hand on her fragrant shoulder and patted it, but he accidentally pulled the wound again, which immediately made him gasp.
"Don't worry, with me, I'll definitely be able to figure out a way."
Du Changsheng endured the severe pain and said with a serious face.
"Really?"
Listening to Du Changsheng's calm voice, Lolita felt a little more at ease, raised her head, and a strange color crossed her crimson pupils.
"Really, I promise!"
Du Changsheng replied with a firm and unquestionable tone, as if he could carry it on his shoulders when the world collapsed.
Not for anything else, just treating him twice was enough reason for Du Changsheng to help this kind girl.
For Lolita, Du Changsheng didn't have any other thoughts, just treated her as his own sister. A small part of the reason is that he prefers the mature royal sister type, and he can't shake his heart at all for being younger than himself.
And more because he also had a lovely sister before he crossed, and he often pulled him to buy all kinds of delicious food.
The first time I saw Lolita at that time, it brought back his fond memories, and helping her was considered to be fulfilling one of my wishes.
"The Frostfire Tribe? Is he another tribe here? Du Changsheng asked after a moment of silence.
"Our barbarians are divided into large and small tribes, the frost and fire tribe is the largest tribe in this area, according to legend, their people have one of the four major bloodlines of the primitive barbarians, the frost and fire giant bloodline, the strength is strong, the chief of their tribe is even more pure, has reached the barbarian god realm, other tribes can only submit to him, and he needs to pay tribute to many girls and countless blood stones every year."
"And there is a rule in our tribe that barbarian girls who can't awaken their bloodlines before the age of sixteen must become tribute, unless they can take out a corresponding amount of bloodstones to exchange."
Zheng Lolita slowly explained that with Du Changsheng's assurance, her emotions were slowly stabilizing.
"Barbarian God Realm?"
Du Changsheng was puzzled: "Could it be that you also have a realm division here?" ”
Lolita nodded and continued to explain: "Unlike you foreigners, we barbarians believe in the sanctification of the flesh, and our realm is also divided according to the strength and strength of the flesh, which are barbarians, barbarians, barbarian masters, great barbarian masters, barbarian spirit realms, and barbarian god realms, as for the future, I don't know." ”
Speaking of this, she paused, her beautiful eyes fell on Du Changsheng and blinked, "The Spartan you fought in the gladiatorial arena yesterday is the Great Barbarian, so you... At least at the level of a great barbarian. ”
As if remembering the terrifying side of Du Changsheng yesterday, Lolita couldn't help but look him up and down again, pursed her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "I really don't know how your small body has such a powerful ......"
"Haha, you don't know that your brother Du is stronger!"
Du Changsheng snorted, and his mouth was scooped without paying attention.
"Oh? Really, where is stronger? ”
Lolita suddenly became interested, and her facial features full of wild beauty stepped forward, and her eyebrows were full of curiosity.
"Uh... I'm kidding, by the way, what kind of realm are you in now. ”
Du Changsheng looked at the innocent and flawless Lolita in front of him, and was suddenly a little embarrassed, so he could only touch the back of his head embarrassedly and quickly changed the topic.
Just kidding, the rule that strollers can't be driven is almost broken.
"Me? I... I'm just a little barbarian now, and if I can't awaken my bloodline, I may not be promoted to a barbarian for the rest of my life......"
Lolita's mood was low again, her head bowed and her hands were folded, and her eyes were sad.
Can't awaken the bloodline?
Du Changsheng looked at her, her skin color was not as red as the barbarians, but a healthy complexion like wheat, and her facial features were three-dimensional and deep, unlike other barbarians, who also had high noses and deep eyes, but they looked three big and five thick.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Du Changsheng's eyes froze, and he blurted out and asked, "Are you mixed-blood?" ”
Hearing this, Lolita was shocked, as if she had discovered some secret, and stuck out her tongue after smiling bitterly.
"You've found ......"
"My father once picked up a woman who was also a human race, and later married and gave birth. But it didn't take long for me to die because of the water and soil, and I didn't even have an impression......"
Lolita smiled reluctantly, but her eyebrows still couldn't help but reveal a touch of loneliness, although she had already accepted this fact after so long, but it was also a hurdle that could never be overcome in her heart.
Du Changsheng nodded when he heard this, and patted her fragrant shoulder again to show comfort.
Now it all makes sense.
It seems that the barbarian bloodline in her body is relatively thin, so it is difficult to awaken the bloodline, Du Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.
However, as long as she can find something that can stimulate her bloodline or strengthen her physical strength, it should be fine.
"By the way, do you have any natural treasures here, such as things that can enhance the physical body?" Du Changsheng tapped his finger on the edge of the bed and looked out.
"Heaven and earth?" Lolita was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, she said: "We are here in the easternmost part of the Eastern Wilderness, and to the east is the vast and boundless wilderness, and even the area explored by the barbarians who have lived here for generations does not exist."
"There are all kinds of wild beasts and many medicinal herbs living in it, and many of our clansmen get supplies from it, but we don't dare to go deeper. And it seems that someone has recently found some treasure in the Savage Plain, and several tribes around are ready to move, planning to enter the depths of the Savage Plain. ”
"Why aren't there any of our Terran monks here?"
Du Changsheng suddenly thought of this question, it stands to reason that with the character of a human race monk, even if there is danger, if there is a heavenly treasure, he should squeeze his head and come to the wilderness to fight.
After all, people die for money, and birds die for food.
"You don't know that, do you?"
Lolita's big eyes rolled, revealing a smug look, and her slender and good-looking fingers gently poked Du Changsheng's white arm, and said, "There is a special herb all over our wild land, which is the Mourning Grass, which can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so didn't you find that there is basically no spiritual power here?" You foreigners can't survive here at all. ”
"We barbarians are different, and we can also strengthen the meridians and strengthen the physical body by taking the Mourning Spirit Grass."
As she spoke, Lolita turned around and picked up a bowl of black herbs from the half-human high stone table beside her, which was the mourning grass that Du Changsheng had eaten before.
Du Changsheng suddenly remembered that it was indeed in the battle, although the mourning grass in the meridians made it impossible for his spiritual power to circulate, but it would be absorbed by his meridians and strengthen his body.
Moreover, the spiritual power here is thin, and it is really impossible for Terran monks to practice when they come here.
It is no wonder that there is no human occupation here, this wild place is simply tailor-made for the barbarians who cultivate the flesh.
Immediately, Du Changsheng's gaze fell on the black decoction.
Looks like that's a good thing!
Since you can't cultivate without spiritual power here, why not use it to exercise your physical body?
After all, in the gladiatorial arena, Du Changsheng deeply realized its effect on the physical body, and even stimulated the nourishment of the physical body by the initial qi of chaos.
So Du Changsheng took the herbal soup in Lolita's hand and drank it all, and the black substance that was about to disappear in the original meridians had another layer.
"Squeak—"
At this moment, the wooden door of the stone house was suddenly pushed open.
