Volume 1 Dragon and Tiger Mountain Seeking the Way Chapter 43 Duel
"I don't know, but I've read an ancient book that records that in ancient times, people from the heavenly realm came to our world, and the origin of the Qi Eaters began almost at that time, and has been passed down for thousands of years, maybe there is no relationship between the two. The man did not answer Li Yuan's question directly, but he told an even more shocking secret.
"The Qi Eater has been inherited for thousands of years?" Li Yuan gasped, but his heart was churning.
The man nodded and said, "In the history of China, the Qi Eaters have always existed, but for some reason they can't come to the fore, but as long as every time there is a disaster that exterminates the human race, the Qi Eaters will take action, just like me that time..."
"How did the predecessors sacrifice?" Looking at the unfathomable mysterious powerhouse in front of him, Li Yuan really couldn't imagine any monster that could kill him.
"You should remember that it was in the year you were in a coma, disasters were frequent, that was because the interface channel was opened, and another interface and our world were about to be connected, because that interface was a higher plane than our world, some people in the organization were worried that humanity would suffer a catastrophe, so they convened a high-level discussion to discuss countermeasures, but there was a big difference in that discussion, and it was divided into two schools, conservatives and initiatives, conservatives insisted on following the will of heaven and intended to let the two worlds merge, while the activists felt that human beings were not ready and planned to artificially prevent the interface from mergingγ β
"And among the people who took the initiative, there were a few extremists, who planned to set up a sacrificial array according to ancient records, trigger the catastrophe, and forcibly destroy the interface channel, but the consequence of doing so would be that the living beings would be miserable, and thousands of ordinary people would die for this, and the virus and some natural disasters would be part of the catastrophe. β
"And I, as a conservative, took the initiative to stop them, and fought with a few of them, although I won, I was seriously injured, and finally in order to prevent the meteorite caused by the catastrophe, my body was destroyed, and only this second infant escaped..."
When Li Yuan heard this, he finally knew how the catastrophe happened, but it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong between the conservatives and the proactives, after all, their starting point was for the continuation of mankind.
"Well, that's how it looks. Li Yuan sighed with emotion, and then missed his relatives even more, experienced a catastrophe, and didn't know what happened to them in the end.
But since the catastrophe is unavoidable, even if you go back to the past, what can you change, maybe you can only watch them die.
"Do you still want to go back?" the man seemed to see Li Yuan's thoughts, and asked with a smile.
"Well, I'd like to go back and see if it's possible. Li Yuan said with great certainty.
"Whatever you want, let's not talk about this for now, I'm running out of time, do you have any other questions you want to ask?" the man seemed to sense something, and began to urge.
"Is my root bone really bad?" Li Yuanyi said with a smile.
The man laughed: "It's really not good, but I finally have a spiritual root and can practice, and with the help of Yuanying, maybe my achievements in the future will not be much lower than mine." β
"Is there a way to change the spiritual root?" Li Yuan asked casually.
The man thought for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly his face changed dramatically, as if he was in pain.
The next moment, I saw a faint white shadow floating out of Yuan Ying's head, which quickly dissipated, and then Yuan Ying returned to his previous dazed appearance.
"I didn't finish my sentence. Li Yuan sneered and muttered helplessly.
Putting Yuan Ying into the dantian, Li Yuan began to rummage in the cell again, and the matter was clear, but his biggest difficulty at present had not been solved, if he did not prepare well, he might have to stay in this lake bottom prison for the rest of his life.
Soon, Li Yuan found a small half bottle of body quenching spirit liquid next to the already dried body, and this unexpected harvest made him excited for a long time.
Li Yuan clearly remembered that in addition to being used to quench the body, this body quenching spiritual liquid could also be used for healing and restoring vitality, and this thing would definitely come in handy at a critical moment.
After hiding the body quenching liquid close to his body, Li Yuan began to exercise again, although he couldn't practice the third stage in a short time, it was also good to hold his feet and improve his proficiency at zero time.
...
Two days later, a team of prison guards suddenly came outside the cell, and after inspecting the cell, they were surprised to find that there was suddenly a dry corpse in the cell, and asked Li Yuan a few words at random, and Li Yuan screened it on the grounds that he didn't know how to become a dry corpse, obviously they didn't care about the life and death of the prisoners in the prison, after all, such things often happen, they couldn't manage it at all, and they didn't bother to take care of it.
"You're going to participate in this gladiatorial tournament, right?" asked one of the tall and thin prison guards, pointing at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan nodded.
"Then come with us. The tall and thin prison guard handcuffed Li Yuan and shackled him out.
Following a few prison guards through the long passage, from time to time he would hear terrifying screams coming from the cells passing by, Li Yuan knew that the people imprisoned inside must be big demons who were not much weaker than Ji Ling, and he didn't know if he could leave alive if he participated in the gladiatorial fight.
Li Yuan secretly counted to himself, there were no less than ten cells in this floor, according to the ratio of two people in one floor, there were twenty big demons on this floor, and the cell he was in was the third one counted, if it was said that the deeper the prisoner, the more dangerous it was, there were at least two to four powerful big demons in it.
"Is the innermost cell the most powerful guy in the entire prison?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask the tall and thin prison guard who walked in front of him.
The tall and thin prison guard glanced at him when he heard this, and then looked into the depths of the dark passage, and said with palpitations: "Hmph, you are quite gossipy, I am not afraid to tell you, the innermost room is not an ordinary demon, it is close to the existence of the demon king, if he is allowed to run out, our rock city is afraid that it will be miserable." β
"Rock City?" Li Yuan secretly wrote down the name, judging by him, the Hudi Prison where he was imprisoned must be located in this so-called Rock City.
"Don't scare him, no matter how good that guy is, as long as he is in this prison at the bottom of the lake, he won't be able to make any big waves. Another prison guard with a Chinese face behind Li Yuan said proudly, and after speaking, he didn't forget to pat a dark red leather whip on his waist.
Li Yuan noticed that the leather whip on this person's waist was different from the ordinary leather whip, and there was a faint dark red light on it, maybe it was the spirit tool that Ji Ling mentioned?
"Then will that guy participate in this gladiatorial competition?" Li Yuan said with a knock on the side.
"He?haha, that guy probably doesn't even have the strength to walk now, so he can only wait inside to die. The national-faced prison guard laughed.
"No, although he hasn't been allowed to eat for almost a year, he is close to the existence of the demon king after all, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it shouldn't be a problem to live for a hundred years. The tall and thin prison guard obviously disagreed with the other party's words.
Several people talked and talked, and soon came to the end of the passage, and then walked up the elevator.
This elevator is a lot worse than Li Yuan imagined, it is not like the previous cell, but it is full of science and technology, after walking in, there is a blue light curtain sweeping over them, it should be some kind of identity inspection equipment, Li Yuan believes that if the big demon who has not obtained permission enters it, it will definitely trigger a certain defense mechanism and kill the people inside.
The elevator didn't stop until the third floor, and the prison guards took Li Yuan out of the elevator and took him outside a small iron cage before throwing him in.
Li Yuan found that this floor was very large, much larger than the lowest floor where he was imprisoned before, and believed that this lake bottom prison was not built parallel downwards, but in the shape of a funnel, the higher the space, the smaller the bottom layer.
was thrown into the iron cage, and Li Yuan found that the place he was in was actually a huge circular gladiatorial arena, which was very similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome in previous movies.
At this time, in addition to him, there were seven or eight iron cages in the gladiatorial arena, and there were also people locked inside, and occasionally the sound of the guys inside scolding his mother could be heard.
