Chapter 171: Escape, Bloodline
After the frost wings drilled into Gu Jieshuang's body, the dragon girl chess pieces that she was holding in her claws shook their wings and stopped beside Yu Cang.
"Master, how are you?" The dragon girl said with concern.
"I'm fine, well done." Yu Cang's expression was a little painful, but he forcibly held back.
Even if there is no physical restraint here, the soul card of the Forbidden Engine can only be forcibly opened for a moment. And the huge mental pressure almost washed away his consciousness, if it took a little longer, I am afraid that he would die directly without the help of Youqi.
As for the results of this moment...... It can only be said that it is useful, but not much.
And it is also because of the negligence of Youqi that he can successfully injure him, after all, judging from the current situation, Youqi has probably surpassed the high-ranking inheritance, and even if the taboo engine can be turned on at full strength, it is not Youqi's opponent.
Yu Cang was trying to think about how to delay time next, and suddenly, a gust of wind rolled up from the side, Yu Cang looked back, and saw that by Gu Jieshuang's side, a circular passage that was constantly rotating appeared!
Yu Cang looked at it, on the other side of the passage, it seemed to be the outside world?
Gu Xie Shuang said: "Boss, hurry up!" β
"Good!"
Yu Cang didn't hear what the frost wings said to Gu Jieshuang, but since there was a passage, there was nothing to say, just slip away!
Behind him, Youqi was already furious, his face was sinking like water, and his long hair was flying behind him, looking like he was fried.
"Want to go? With my consent?! β
Demon Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the thunder and lightning behind him danced wildly, and he wanted to directly take out the most powerful attack to keep the few people in Cang.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a cold female voice from the other end of the passage:
"Found it, here."
Immediately followed by an old male voice suppressed his anger: "Got it, let me come." β
Rise!
There were countless noises in my ears, thunder and waves, but this wisp was very faint, as if it was the sound of an ordinary flame on a candle, but it was very clear and incomparably loud into Youqi's ears.
Then he saw that everything in front of him had changed, and the blood that had filled the entire field of vision had faded in an instant, replaced by a monotonous black and white.
The whole world turned black, to be exact, with the only white β just on the other side of the passage. Youqi seemed to see that a vague figure spanned countless spaces and cast his gaze on his body.
One person holds a candle, and the whole world is dark!
Youqi's face changed drastically, when the world fell into darkness, he only felt that all his abilities had also fallen into silence, no matter how he activated it, it was useless!
And when the pale candlelight shone on his body, an imperceptible burning sensation permeated his entire body, this burning sensation was very faint, it didn't seem to be strong, but Youqi quickly realized that if he left it alone, his entire body would dissolve under this candlelight without resistance!
No, no!
Youqi suddenly woke up, only to find that pale flames had already ignited on the placket of his clothes!
"Demon King Seal!" Demon Qi hurriedly shouted, and suddenly, the jade seal on the sea shook slightly, and a touch of power was injected into his body in the air, and with the help of this power, soon, these flames were extinguished.
And Demon Qi didn't dare to face the candlelight anymore, he didn't care too much, and immediately urged the Demon King Seal with all his strength, and forcibly closed the door of the passage torn open by true blood.
"Aha...... Aha...... "Although it's just a consciousness, Youqi has already begun to break out in a cold sweat," this power ...... Mythology...... It's okay, it's okay, I have the Demon King Seal, although it hasn't been completely refined, but it's safe to survive......"
The relieved demon Qi's gaze slowly swept over, and on that cloud, the figures of Yu Cang and the three of them had disappeared, and in that situation just now, he could no longer be distracted to leave these people.
And even though he had reacted quickly and closed the passage before the candle flame could fully release its light, the force had still caused considerable damage.
In front of me, countless pale flames were rapidly burning outward, whether it was clouds, waves, or even air, they were already hung with quietly burning flames.
The flames burned naturally, forming an ever-expanding ball that looked like a pale sun from afar.
But fortunately, after the passage was closed, the world regained its bloody color, and these flames were weak in succession, and with the Demon King Seal in hand, Demon Qi could already deal with these things.
"Damn, how could there be a myth meddling!" Demon Qi scolded secretly, but he could only stretch out his hand bitterly, and with the help of the power of the Demon King Seal, he carefully cleaned up these remaining flames.
β¦β¦
Open eyes!
On the hospital bed, Yu Cang suddenly opened his eyes!
"Ahem...... Cough! β
He hurriedly got up, but seemed to get up a little violently, choking on saliva. After coughing violently a few times, Yu Cang looked at his palm and frowned slightly.
Where is this choking on saliva, I am choking on blood!
"You're awake." Next to him, the doctor said, "You have used too much mental pressure, and it is not appropriate to do any activities now, if you don't want to bleed, you should lie down." β
Yu Cang was silent for a moment and obediently lay back on the bed.
At this time, a figure came from the side, it was Ren Zheng.
"Xiaocang, how are you feeling now?" Ren Zheng was nervous.
"I'm fine...... It feels okay. Yu Cang shook his head, and with such a move, two more lines of nosebleeds flowed out.
Ren Zheng: "Come on, don't move yet." β
Yu Cang smiled, he turned his head slightly, and on the hospital bed next to him, Gu Xie Shuang was lying there, "...... What about defrosting and chess? How is she? β
ββ¦β¦ The defrosting is fine. Gu Zhihan sat on the edge of the bed, hearing this, his eyes were still on Gu Jieshuang on the bed, and he explained, "The loss of blood has been stopped, and now Jieshuang is just a simple fever, just sleep." β
"Brother, I'm fine!" Qi'er stretched out her little hand from the hospital bed on the other side, "I asked for you, Sister Weeping and Brother Yelai are also back safely!" β
"That's good." Yu Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Zheng shook his head with a smile, then sat on the edge of the bed, his face a little more serious: "You kid, I didn't expect that you would have an accident if you stayed in school...... Tell me, what's going on this time? β
ββ¦β¦ Do you think I want to. Yu Cang sighed, "Actually, this time...... I'm confused, too. β
Frost was inexplicably summoned to the past, and he followed in a daze, forced to fight with a guy who was suspected of being a super-heir.
It's good luck to come back alive.
Yu Cang's eyes turned to the entry recorder, and the week-long countdown on it had stopped, which meant that he was far away from that place, and he couldn't extract it.
Turning off the recorder, Yu Cang took a deep breath, raised his head, and said solemnly: "But old man, thank you this time, if it weren't for you, I might have explained there." β
"What are you doing with me?" Ren Zheng frowned, "I want to know now if this kind of thing can happen a second time." β
He is also a little scared now, if he didn't happen to be okay today, he rushed to come immediately after receiving Yu Cang's call, what would happen to this matter.
"This ......," Yu Cang pondered for a moment, "I'm not sure...... Listening to the meaning of the person named Youqi, he summoned the frost because there was true blood in the body of the frost. β
Ren Zheng looked at Gu Zhihan, who had been silent: "True blood? β
Gu Zhihan finally raised his head and looked away from Gu Jieshuang's body: "True blood refers to the most essential part of the spirit beast bloodline, I heard that a drop of true blood contains all the genes in a spirit beast race, relying on true blood, a powerful spirit beast can even reproduce an entire race by itself." β
Yu Cang: ......
Why does it sound so unseemly.
And Gu Zhihan continued: "Our half-bloods have the bloodline of spirit beasts, so occasionally there may be atavistic inheritance of true blood, but this probability is too low, there are five or six martial spirit villages in our mountainous area, but it may be hundreds of years before a true blood inheritor appears." Generally speaking, people who inherit true blood will have incredible cultivation talents, but their lifespan will also be reduced to varying degrees, so in fact, the results are not different. β
Ren Zheng was still frowning, and he said, "...... So, have there been cases where this consciousness has been suddenly summoned away? β
Gu Zhihan shook his head: "No...... Or maybe I haven't heard of it. But seriously, after Xiao Cang called me over, in my perception, defrosting was an onset of hypothermia, not some consciousness being summoned...... Now that I think about it, there may have been many cases like this before, but they were all treated as blood conflicts. β
Ren Zheng continued: "Then now that you know this situation, have you figured out what the principle of this summoning is, or is there any way to prevent it?" β
As a Zhenguo, he only noticed a hint of abnormality after seeing Gu Jieshuang, which was the result of Cang telling him the situation in advance.
If he were allowed to look at it, he would never see anything.
Gu Zhihan shook his head: "No, I still don't understand." β
Her condition is similar to Ren Zheng, and she only saw a little clue after being reminded by Yu Cang.
But it also stopped there, she used her own bloodline as a guide to check Gu Jieshuang's physical condition, and could only vaguely perceive something that was suspected to be the "summoning channel" that Yu Cang said, as for the rest, whether it was opening this channel or forcibly closing it, she couldn't do it.
It's not that the strength level can't be reached, but there is no idea to solve the problem, in Gu Jieshuang's body, you can't mess around.
If it weren't for the fact that this passage was suddenly opened by an inexplicable force, he and Ren Zheng would have to be anxious for a while.
Ren Zheng and Gu Zhihan looked at each other, and finally looked at Yu Cang together.
Ren Zheng said: "Xiao Cang, how did you find this passage?" And isn't this summoning just for half-bloods, how can you follow along? β
"This......" Yu Cang didn't hide it, and immediately told the two of them how he entered the bloodline empire.
Ren Zheng was dumbfounded: "Playing like this? β¦β¦ In other words, if you want to enter that place called the Bloodline Empire under normal circumstances, you must be a hybrid who is proficient in the Consciousness Body deck, or have a real name connection to such a person, right? β
"It should be." Yu Cang nodded, "But in fact, even if these conditions are met, you can only go along the existing passage, but you can't open up a new passage." Just like now, I can't sense the summoning channel on the body of the defroster, so I can't enter it again. β
Ren Zheng rubbed his fingers, his expression a little unhappy.
How can there be such a place, you can only pull people in, and I am not allowed to break the door?
He has nowhere to go today, so he is waiting to find a way to enter that hellish place, rush in and beat up all the guys inside.
After all, there are really not many places like this on weekdays where you can fight without going out of the ancient metropolitan area.
For a moment, there was silence on the field.
All three of them were thinking about how to find out where this bloodline empire was.
Ren Zheng: "...... I'll ask the people from the Reception Bureau to follow me when I get back. β
If you ask about the study of the consciousness of this race, it must be the most authoritative of the Admission Bureau, although he is a card maker in the town country, but after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and this kind of thing still has to be done by professionals.
Yu Cang nodded, and was about to say something, suddenly.
A soul card opened from the side, and Yelai flew out of it lightly and landed in Yu Cang's hand.
He looked at Yu Cang, and after seeing that there was no big problem, he seemed to be relieved.
Yelai bowed slightly: "Lord of this body, greetings to you." β
"Come on night, you're back." Yu Cang said with a smile.
Yelai raised his head and looked a little serious: "Lord of this body, I may have some information that I can provide to you." β
"Oh?" Yu Cang's eyes lit up, "Let's talk about it." β
"That Demon Qi's so-called bloodline empire, I seem to have seen a similar existence in the past."
Ren Zheng was stunned, and immediately understood that what he said at night was probably what happened in other worlds.
Yelai continued: "A long time ago, I went to a world where natural disasters were frequent, the living environment was very harsh, and there was only a group of captive creatures struggling to survive on the earth. Their rulers, on the other hand, gave up their bodies and entered the bloodline network of these beings to escape the natural disaster. β
Yu Cang didn't understand a little: "Bloodline network? β
"Yes." Yelai nodded slightly, "That group of creatures is very special, there is a certain connection between their bloodlines, and this characteristic is used by their rulers to build a network that can accommodate the existence of consciousness through some means. There, consciousness can be perceived and multiplied as in the real world, and there are many conveniences besides avoiding natural disasters, but time is too long ago for me to remember more details. β
"Is that so...... It sounds like some kind of symbiosis. β
"It's not so much symbiosis as parasitism." Yelai shook his head and said, "This bloodline network does not exist forever like another dimension, and its existence needs 'fuel'. Most of the creatures in that world have a short lifespan because they need to burn their lives as firewood for the survival of the bloodline network. β
The night has just finished saying this.
Click!
The temperature in the room had plummeted, and a layer of frost had formed in the glass of water on the bedside table.
Gu Zhihan's expression couldn't see the change, but his tone had already cooled: "What do you meanβjust like we are mixed-blood?" β
As if he didn't perceive Gu Zhihan's momentum, Yelai nodded calmly: "At this moment." β
"Alright." With a wave of Ren Zheng's hand, the temperature in the house returned to normal, "Don't spread here if you have gas." β
Gu Zhihan took a deep breath and calmed down: "...... It's me who lost my temper. Night, thank you so much for telling me this. β
"No thanks." "I just happened to think of these...... In fact, there are many reasons that can lead to bloodline conflicts, and this bloodline empire is just one of the possibilities. β
"It doesn't matter." Gu Zhihan turned his gaze to Gu Jieshuang, who was still asleep, "At least I already know who to cut...... Night, is there any way to destroy, or rather, reject this bloodline empire? β
"The source needs to be found." Yelai said calmly, "The bloodline network of that world was built with the help of an ancient contract recognized by the world. I don't know why this so-called bloodline empire exists, so I can't jump to conclusions. β
"Is that so?" Gu Zhihan thought for a moment and looked up at Yu Cang, "Xiao Cang, there are all things in the bloodline empire, can you tell me about it?" β
Yu Cang nodded: "Well, I just wanted to say it." As soon as I entered, I first met a man named Youqi, who claimed to be a modern-day demon king......"
After finishing the night, he lay down at Yu Cang's hand and accepted Yu Cang's touch.
Ren Zheng and Gu Zhihan listened carefully, and neither of them interrupted.
Soon, Yu Cang finished talking about his experience in the Bloodline Empire, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.
Ren Zheng frowned, his expression was shocked: "Emperor Wu Tianzi Yin? Really? β
"I don't know...... Frost Wings and Demon Qi have their own words, and I can't tell who is true and who is fake. β
ββ¦β¦ That demon Qi claims to be a contemporary demon king, and his birth time should not be long, and the frost wings are real ancient spirit beasts, and he has really seen the existence of Wu Tianzi, so maybe ...... Frostwings' words are more credible. β
"But if that's the case, why does the Martial Emperor Heavenly Son Seal have the power to control true blood?"
"I don't know about this, but the history books have not recorded the power of this mythical soul card, and no one knows the true effect of the Martial Emperor Tianzi Seal, maybe its effect is to control the true blood."
ββ¦β¦ It's not impossible. β
A few people were discussing the room, and suddenly there was a sound of muttering on the bed, and everyone looked at it, Gu Xie Shuang had already woken up with a frown.
Gu Zhihan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes softened: "Jieshuang, are you awake...... How do you feel now? β
"I ...... Headache......" Gu Xie squinted and reached out to the side to touch it, but he didn't touch Yu Cang's hand.
When I opened my eyes, I was startled.
"Mom? Why are you here...... And the principal? Gu Xie Shuang was stunned.
"Xiao Cang called us." Gu Zhihan explained, "He woke up before you, and now his body is fine." β
"Ah...... ...... like this," Gu Xie Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. immediately looked at the hospital bed next to her, and saw Yu Cang looking at her with a smile.
Gu Xie Shuang couldn't help but smile, and there was a warm flow in his heart.
"That's right, defrosting." Gu Zhihan opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Cang said just now that there is a frost-hugging wing that has entered the center of your eyebrows?" Is she still there? β
If this frost wing is still there, then many questions can be asked directly, and there is no need to be so troublesome.
But after Gu Jieshuang closed her eyes and felt it for a while, she still shook her head helplessly: "I can't sense her existence...... But the true blood is still in me. β
"That's right." Gu Zhihan was surprised.
It seems that this frost wing has sacrificed itself to open a passage......
But the night on the side said, "She's still there." β
"Huh?" Yu Cang hurriedly said, "What do you mean?" β
"When I left, I deliberately noticed that the Frost Wings did leave the Bloodline Empire with us." Yelai explained, "It's just that she's just a consciousness now, and she's trapped in her bloodline, so she can't communicate with people in reality for the time being."
"This is actually a disadvantage of the bloodline network - although the bloodline network is very convenient, after all, you need to give up your body to enter, so in fact, it is equivalent to becoming a prison, and it is difficult for the creatures who enter it to leave again, so when the desolate infiltrates that world, they can't even escape, and they will soon all die."
Gu Zhihan hurriedly asked, "Then is there any way to summon her?" β
When these words were asked, Gu Zhihan, who had never cared much about other things, was a little nervous.
After all...... This is the man of his ancestors...... Spirit animals. Talking to your ancestors, who is not nervous?
For this question, Yelai did not answer, but looked at Yu Cang: "Lord of this body, this requires your strength. β
Yu Cang blinked, and he pointed at himself with his finger: "Me? β
"Yes." A smile appeared on Yelai's face, "Do you remember your past works?" β
"You mean...... Dead in the cold? β
"Yes. That soul card is a clever use of the power of the bloodline, but because it is an equipment card, it can't be used as a medium for the arrival of Frost Wings for the time being - if you can make the right soul card, I think you will be able to see Frost Wings again soon. β
Hearing the words of the night, Gu Zhihan was a little confused: "Soul card? What soul card? β
"Uh." Gu Xie Shuang looked away a little weakly, "That, that ......"
Gu Zhihan's gaze switched back and forth between Cang and Gu Jieshuang's bodies, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.
"What kind of soul card is it?"
"Uh...... This is it. Gu Jieshuang took out the cold sky and handed it to Gu Zhihan, "That and that...... The boss made it for me. β
Gu Zhihan took it and looked at it.
Then my eyes couldn't help but widen.
Handed? And it's a hand-me-down that can only be used by those of the relevant bloodline?
This......
Looking at the effect of the cold sky, Gu Zhihan felt it for a moment and quietly swallowed his saliva.
It's broken, and I'm tempted.
You know, she herself doesn't have a decent heirloom equipment card - she fights on weekdays, uses real swords, and then uses various soul cards to strengthen them.
It's not because she doesn't want to use it, but because she can't find what she wants!
And at this moment, in the hands of his daughter...... No, no, no, this is my daughter's thing, how can there be a reason for a mother to ask for something for her daughter!
Moreover, this is given by someone's little boyfriend, which belongs to the love between young people, and I definitely can't ask for it.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhihan hurriedly hid the heartbeat in his eyes.
Ahem...... I guess it wasn't discovered, it's a shame.
However, she said that why did her daughter with such a high heart be so desperate...... When she was young, if someone made a special heirloom exclusive soul card for her, she would also be dead.
Wait a minute...... As we all know, soul card makers need resonance to make soul cards, and resonance is actually the process of exploring rhyme, which is very obscure, so card makers generally use various means to facilitate this process.
As for the resonance of the bloodline, she had never seen anyone like it before, and it was very difficult to think about it, and she needed to have all kinds of intimate contact with the bloodline to do it.
You are in the cang...... What means did you use to get the resonance of the defrosting bloodline?!
Gu Zhihan's eyes became fierce when he looked at Yu Cang.
