Chapter 256: Hidden Dangers, Nightmares, Blood Feuds, Dreams
"That's right."
After listening to Da Wuzhu's description, Qi Lin was a little relieved, "In other words, the black giant claw was ...... Eh, it wouldn't hurt if the black blood demon was targeted? Because it doesn't seem to be able to do anything at all. β
"Indeed."
Da Wu Zhu nodded, and then added: "However, according to ancient records, it will occasionally enter the dream realm to chat with the two of them when the original Da Wu Zhu and the previous Da Wu Zhu are sleeping, even if they can't say key information, they can also talk about some things."
There is just one caveat.
This black blood demon's state seems to be becoming more and more unstable.
Because according to the records of the first Great Wu Zhu, when the Black Blood Demon chatted with him, he had a very gentle temper, and often chatted with him about some interesting things about hell and other other worlds.
But when it came to the time of the former Great Wu Zhu, it was different.
In the pen of the former Great Wu Zhu, the Black Blood Demon was a short-tempered, moody neurotic who often entered his dreams to laugh and scold, and always disturbed his dreams and gave him nightmares, which deeply troubled the former Great Wu Zhu.
It's actually quite reasonable to think about.
After being suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years, no matter how elegant and wise people are, they will probably be driven crazy, right?
In short, I don't know if this black blood demon is crazy, but the former Great Wu Zhu is really about to be driven crazy by it.
Who can stand having nightmares every night?
In the end, the former Great Wu Zhu could only follow the example of the mage on the inland side, completely replacing sleep with meditation, and since then, except for the occasional prophetic dream divination, he has never slept in his life, and has relied on meditation to restore his energy all year round. β
ββ¦β¦β
When Qi Lin heard this, his expression suddenly became ugly.
So he can't sleep?
Depend on!
Don't!
Meditation is a practice method used to strengthen spiritual power.
But the problem was that Qi Lin's own cultivation talent was extremely poor.
The cultivation effect of his continuous meditation for a month or two may not be as strong as the effect of a genius like Adam and Daisy meditating for a few minutes, so for him, it is better to use that meditation time to learn a few more practical magic or combat skills.
Besides, with the addition system, there is no need for Qi Lin to waste time on things like strengthening his mental power.
Because of this, Qi Lin has hardly meditated since he crossed over.
But meditation is not difficult, this is just a very simple cultivation method, so of course he will also do, if necessary, of course he can also use meditation to replace sleep, and even from the cultivation aspect, meditation instead of sleep is a better way to cultivate.
But it's definitely a worse way to live.
Because, sleeping is more refreshing than meditating.
Although you can regain all your energy after a night of meditation, you don't feel like you've rested on a mental level.
Sleeping is different.
It is very refreshing to sleep until you wake up naturally, and that kind of psychological refreshment can be said to be a second kill meditation.
Therefore, if he is targeted by the black blood demon, it means that he will not be able to sleep from now on, then Qi Lin will definitely scold the street.
"Every time you fall asleep, do you get a nightmare by the Black Blood Demon?"
Qi Lin thought of this, and couldn't help but ask Da Wuzhu.
"Not necessarily."
Da Wu Zhu thought for a while and said: "In the records of the previous Da Wu Zhu, this was also mentioned, saying that the Black Blood Demon did not come to disturb his dreams every night, but this sense of randomness is also very torturous, because over time, you will be afraid to fall asleep, afraid that if you close your eyes tonight, you may have nightmares again." β
ββ¦β¦β
Qi Lin was speechless.
"Is there no other solution?"
Andrei, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"No, at least there is no record in the ancient books of our Blood Raven Tribe."
Great Wu Zhu shook his head lightly and said: "In the history of our Blood Raven Tribe, the only people who have seen that black blood demon are the first generation of Great Wu Zhu and the former Great Wu Zhu, and the first Great Wu Zhu did not leave any solution in the book, in fact, he did not encounter this problem, as for the former Great Wu Zhu...... He had suffered from this problem all his life, and if there was a solution, he would not have to use meditation instead of sleep for the rest of his life. β
"Oh?"
After Qi Lin heard this, he heard a slight meaning, "Great Wu Zhu, do you mean that outside the Blood Crow Tribe, maybe someone can solve it?" Like the Blood Whale Tribe and the Blood Bear Tribe? β
"Maybe." Da Wu Zhu said, "People with psychic perception ability, there have been several in the history of the Blood Bear Tribe and the Blood Whale Tribe, so in the ancient books of their tribes, there must also be records of the Black Blood Demon, but the communication between the three tribes is not close, and it can even be said that there is a feud, so except for the necessary material transactions, there is very little communication between us." β
"It doesn't sound like the islanders are very united."
Qi Lin's expression was strange, and he hesitated: "Actually, in the face of the exclusion of the Holy See, I think the islanders of the Demon Sea should be more united......
"Easier said than done."
Great Wu Zhu sighed and said helplessly: "A hundred years ago, when our ancestors were first driven from the inland by the Holy See to the Demon Sea, they were united at first, but soon due to various resource distribution problems, there was irreconcilable friction, and then it was split, divided into a branch clan, and survived in the Demon Sea.
Eventually, a large number of people died at sea.
The other part of those who survived, such as our Blood Crow Tribe, Blood Bear Tribe, Blood Whale Tribe and other tribes, have also formed grudges with other tribes for a hundred years because of various survival resource problems, which have accumulated from generation to generation, and have formed feuds and grievances.
Our Blood Raven Tribe and Blood Whale Tribe are fine, but the feud and grievance with the Blood Bear Tribe are the most serious, and now they are only in the peace period of a temporary truce, and if there is a little turmoil, the war will be ignited again. β
ββ¦β¦β
When Da Wu Zhu said this, Andre next to him had gloomy eyes, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles rattled.
"Huh?"
Qi Lin glanced at Andre, then stood up from the stool, "Okay, that's it, that's it, about the black blood demon, I will pay attention to it later, thank you for the explanation." β
"It doesn't matter."
Da Wu Zhu waved his hand gently.
"Great Wu Zhu, the tribe is going to have a banquet in the evening, are you coming?"
Seeing this, Andre also temporarily suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked the old man: "It's been a long time since you have had a banquet with us, the clansmen miss you very much, this banquet is to celebrate that we picked a thousand blood sparks last night, this kind of great thing, naturally it should be matched with the big banquet, Da Wu Zhu, you also take this opportunity to go down the mountain for a walk, right?" β
"Okay."
Da Wu Zhu did not refuse, but smiled and nodded very dryly.
"Well, then we'll go back and prepare for the banquet first!"
Andre suddenly smiled, got up and patted Qi Lin on the shoulder, and then walked towards the door of the wooden house.
"See you in the evening, Great Witch."
After saying goodbye to the old man, Qi Lin also left the wooden house.
He and AndrΓ© walked side by side, walking along the rugged mountain paths, slowly towards the base of the mountain.
"Andrey?"
Walking and walking, Qi Lin suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Andrei glanced at him.
"May I ask you a question?"
"Ask."
"When Da Wuzhu mentioned the Blood Bear Tribe just now, Ling was very angry, can you talk about it?"
ββ¦β¦β
Faced with Qi Lin's question, Andre was silent for a few seconds before he said as he walked: "The Blood Raven Tribe and the Blood Bear Tribe are feuds, and in the past hundred years, all kinds of large and small grudges have been superimposed, and there has long been anger between our two tribes that can only be extinguished with blood.
And my father died because of it.
It was a hunting trip that took place two months ago.
My father was still alive at the time, and as a tribal lord, he led a team of warriors to the heart of the Demon Sea to round up sea beasts, preparing to help the tribe solve its food problems for the next few months.
But in the middle of the hunt, they came across a fleet of the Blood Bear Tribe.
The leader of that Blood Bear fleet is the lord of the Blood Bear Tribe.
The two sides had a verbal altercation over the ownership of a rare and precious sea beast.
My father thinks that what we caught first is ours.
The Blood Bear Lord, on the other hand, thought that they had found this precious sea beast first and poisoned it to weaken it, otherwise my father would not have been able to capture it so easily.
Who is right and who is wrong?
It doesn't really matter.
Although this sea beast is indeed rare and precious, in the final analysis, the real trigger of this conflict is the generational blood feud between our two families.
My grandmother was killed by the mother of the Blood Bear Lord.
And the father of the Blood Bear Lord was killed by my grandfather.
It's a blood feud.
When my father and the Blood Bear Lord quarreled at sea, the center of the conversation quickly changed from the ownership of that rare sea beast to this generational blood feud.
Then, the verbal conflict turned into a tomahawk and tomahawk confrontation.
The two sides went to war.
Although according to the regulations, our two tribes should be in a truce at that time, my father and they still fought with the fleet of the Blood Bear Lord.
The battle, in which there were wounded but not dead, ended with my father's defeat with serious wounds.
He lost.
Because he is not strong enough, if he is not as good as a man, he is not as good as a man, and I am his son, but there is nothing to justify this.
My father was a great Blood Raven Lord, but he wasn't strong enough, at least not as strong as the Blood Bear Lord.
But the problem is that this serious injury failed, and all the dark injuries and dark diseases accumulated in my father's body over the years broke out at once, and finally caused him to die shortly after returning to the tribe......"
Speaking of this, Andre lowered his head, his eyes were very gloomy.
"You ......"
"You don't need to comfort me."
Qi Lin walked beside him, and just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the young lord waving his hand.
"There is no point in comforting."
Andre took a deep breath, then looked ahead, his eyes gradually became resolute, "My father is not strong enough, that's why he lost, that's why he was seriously injured, that's why he died, but I won't, I will be as my father hopes, become the strongest in the Demon Sea, and lead the people to a better life!" β
"Oh?"
When Qi Lin heard this, he immediately became curious.
What kind of combat power is Andrei?
Even the fourth-order demon spirit that possessed the fifth-order skeleton on Death Kiri Island, he could crush it with one enemy and three strongly, and he was extremely fierce.
In Tang Haoyuan's words, Andre is already at the level of "half-step fifth-order" combat power.
However, due to the fact that the spatial barrier of this Hanhai Realm is too fragile, once a creature steps into the fifth order, it will cause spatial turbulence and cause death, so the life level ceiling of the creature in the Hanhai Realm is the fourth order, and forcibly breaking through the fifth order is about equivalent to suicide.
In this case, Qi Lin was really curious, looking at the Demon Sea and even the whole world, who else could be more fierce than Andre?
So he couldn't help but ask:
"Andrey, who else in the world today is stronger than you?"
"Huh? That's a good question. β
When Andre heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "A while ago, we met a merchant who came from the inland, although the vast majority of inland people discriminate against us islanders, but these businessmen are different, they only have money in their eyes, and there is no difference between inland people and islanders at all.
Therefore, he made me feel very comfortable speaking without any prejudice, just like Qi Lin's companion named Tang Haoyuan.
Because of this, I talked a lot with him, and even had a sparl.
In the end, of course, I won.
In his opinion, in terms of magical ability, I am already comparable to the Holy Magister in the inland, and in terms of physical strength, I am far superior to the paladins in the Holy See, plus the blessings of the many sacrificial emblems on my body, even if I go inland, in a heads-up situation, it is estimated that the Pope is the only one who can beat me.
If that merchant is not wrong, then there is only one Pope in the interior who is stronger than me.
As for those who are stronger than me in the Demon Sea, I'm not sure if there is, because I haven't fought the Blood Bear Lord or the Blood Whale Lord yet, but I am confident that I can defeat either of them in a head-to-head situation! β
Speaking of this, Andrei's eyes were full of war.
ββ¦β¦β
Qi Lin thought for a moment.
Holy Magister? Paladin?
When Tang Haoyuan explained the information before, he said that the Holy Demon Master and Paladin of the Hanhai Realm were probably equivalent to the transcendents of the fourth rank.
And Andre, a half-demon, is equivalent to a fourth-order peak transcendent with dual cultivation of demons and martial arts, and he also has a lot of strange sacrificial patterns with various effects tattooed on his body.
"So you didn't think about going back inland?"
Qi Lin looked at Andre and said curiously: "According to what you say, in terms of strength, the Holy See doesn't seem to be much stronger than you islanders, right?" Even if you can't completely defeat the Holy See, at least fight against the court and occupy a place in the interior, it shouldn't be difficult? β
"Difficult! Hard! β
When Andre heard this, he immediately sighed helplessly, "When it comes to heads-up, we islanders have never been afraid of anyone, but the problem is that the Holy See will not go head-to-head with me one-on-one, every time they go out, a large number of people in Wuyang engage in team battles."
Hundreds of mages piled together to release magic, it was dark, tens of thousands of papal knights piled up to charge, the earth was shaking, the scene was simply terrifying.
In contrast, we islanders have too few elite fighters to fight.
Besides, we islanders are not united, they are not of one mind, there are so many tribes, large and small, and all the forces are scattered.
When I was a child, Dawu Zhu told me about this, saying that if one day, our Demon Sea has a real leader who can integrate the forces of all the tribes, then we islanders may have some possibility of counterattacking the inland and returning to the homeland of our ancestors...... Ha! β
Speaking of this, Andre stretched out his right hand, put it on Qi Lin's shoulder, then raised his left hand, pointed to his nose, and said with a smile: "Hey, Qi Lin, do you think I don't look like the kind of leader in the mouth of Da Wu Zhu?!" β
"Uh."
Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Of course, I look very similar." β
"Haha!"
Andre didn't care about his casual perfunctory, just smiled and withdrew his hand, put his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky, and his red eyes were glowing with a little brilliance, "Actually, my dream since I was a child is to lead the tribesmen of the tribe as the Lord of the Blood Crow, to fight back to the interior, overthrow the Holy See, and then find a place where birds and flowers are fragrant, mountains and rivers are beautiful to settle down, so that the tribesmen can live the most comfortable life!" After all, the inland is also our hometown! β
"Speaking of which, how did you become a lord?" Qi Lin said curiously, "Also, you said before that you were the youngest lord of the Demon Sea, but now that you think about it, I don't even seem to know how old you are. β
"It's a joust and a vote."
Andre looked at him and said, "After the death of the previous lord, the next lord of the tribe will be elected through a contest and voting, and the top three in the tournament will be voted by the Great Witch Zhu and the tribesmen, and the one with the most votes will become the new tribal lord."
I defeated my brother and uncle, as well as Kom and them, and became the first place in the tournament, and the vote afterwards was also the most voted, so it was logical that I became a lord and officially took over my father's blood crow battle axe, as for the age...... I'm 19 years old. β
"It's only 19?!"
Qi Lin was taken aback.
To be honest, he knew that Andrei was young, but he also thought that this "young" meant between 25-30 years old.
He really didn't think that Andrei was not yet 20 years old!
The 19-year-old fourth-order peak is still a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
This cultivation talent is not much different from Adam.
"Huh?"
At this time, Andre turned his head and looked in the direction of the Blood Raven Walled City.
I saw smoke curling in the walled city, and it was faintly visible that there were many figures coming and going on the streets, transporting all kinds of huge sea beasts.
"It looks like the clansmen are starting to prepare for tonight's feast!"
Seeing this, Andre immediately smiled, "Qi Lin, let's go, let's go back quickly!" β
With that, the young lord quickened his pace down the mountain.
Qi Lin walked side by side with him.
The figures of the two soon disappeared into the mountain path.
