Chapter 90: The Seed
(Background music for this chapter: betrayal voices)
Underneath the council chamber, in the dark dungeons, it was more difficult to circulate the air, so only one torch was burned.
Li Yuan was wrapped in sackcloth, and he could feel fleas and bedbugs sucking his blood under the sackcloth, but he couldn't free his hands, so he could only squeeze the sackcloth with his body desperately, trying to squeeze the damn bugs to death.
However, in the eyes of the guards, this was just an attempt to break free from the sackcloth, and the guards had become accustomed to it, and just stepped forward to re-wrap the sackcloth that had broken away.
"Itchy! Brother Litu, can you help me scratch it? There are bugs sucking my blood. Li Yuan pleaded with the guards, but the guards who had been repeatedly warned and emphasized all turned a deaf ear and did not give the demon inside him any chance.
"You see, they don't like you at all, let alone respect you, you were the son of the patriarch in the past, and you will be the patriarch in the future, they will naturally be afraid of you and please you, but now you are just a prisoner, even lower than them, do you think they will help you? No, they want you to die!"
The ever-present voice has been ringing in Li Yuan's head, and after being tortured until now, Li Yuan has long been dizzy, he can't sleep, and every time he just falls asleep, he will be awakened by nightmares, this torture is enough to drive a strong warrior crazy, but he has persevered.

Blood flowed out of his nose again, and his tightly bound body was in a state of lack of oxygen for a long time, and the blood that could not be transported to the bottom of his body accumulated in his head, and he could only relieve his blood pressure by bleeding.
The guard named Li Tu heard the sound and looked back, but he did not step forward to help him stop the bleeding, according to the experience of the past few days, the blockade could not be stopped, let him flow for a while and he would stop the bleeding.
The darkness around him and the constant vicious words in his head almost made him collapse, feeling the blood flowing from his body little by little, Li Yuan couldn't stop crying.
Either way, he's just a kid under eight years old.
"Are you tired, is it painful, is it uncomfortable? Do you still have to persevere? Give up! It will be much more comfortable. The demagogic language was like a poisonous snake that tore at his fragile consciousness.
"I ...... I want my mother, woo, I want ...... I want my dad to ......," Li Yuan cried helplessly.
"They're not going to come to your rescue, they've given up on you! Your father, he doesn't like you, don't you feel it? He doesn't even care about you, you deliberately ran out to make him worry about you, come to you, right? But what? You're locked up here by him now. Feeling the crumbling of the heart's defense, the voice of the heart demon also brought more bewitchment: "A population can only have one king, do you remember the story that Li Yi told you? In the field, the strongest lion king in the lion pack will bite his children to death, because they are in the prime of life, and they will not let a young lion in the lion pack who can challenge its authority, especially his own flesh and blood with his excellent bones and blood!"
Hanging his head weakly, Li Yuan's consciousness was a little blurred, the saliva in his mouth mixed with blood flowed down, dripping on the ground, excessive blood loss almost made him hallucinate, his strength was already shaky, and he could only whisper: "Dad...... Mother......"
This little guy is really tenacious! The invisible body of the demon hovered around him, and his mouth made of viciousness and hatred whispered to Li Yuan's ear: "You don't know yet, do you? Your mother is pregnant again, do you guess she will give birth to a younger brother or a younger sister for you?"
Woke up in a trance, Li Yuan raised his head, his bloodshot and somewhat blurred eyes looked straight ahead, he shook his head in confusion, and said, "No...... No......"
"Why not? It's normal to have children! Don't all the people have a lot of children?"
The emotion that he couldn't say what he felt rose from the bottom of his heart, burning his already unsupportable belief, and his vague consciousness made it difficult for him to detect the loopholes in his inner demon's words, Li Yuan just whispered: "No...... No......"
"What are you afraid of? What do you think? You guessed right? They've given up on you! You're going to rot in the ground with these bugs!"
"No...... No, no!, no!!" Li Yuan shook his body frantically and struggled to get up, shouting: "I want my mother! I want my father!
Rise!
Suddenly there was a fire overhead, several torches were burning, and a figure stood above the dungeon.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Yuan, who was tied to the stake, raised his head with difficulty, he was used to the dimness, and it was difficult for him to see the face of the person who came, but he still recognized the identity of the person.
"Daddy...... Father, help me, help me......" Li Yuan cried weakly, and the burning tears also choked his throat, and the unconcealable joy made him desperately want to rush towards his father, but his body was wrapped in tough linen cloth and could not move a bit.
Jumping down from the dungeon, Li Yuan knelt down and trembled and picked up Li Yuan's little face, he was stunned. His little white face had become thin and yellow, covered with blood, and his eyes were now full of horror and helplessness, this was his son!
The tall body knelt in front of the stake, a tough warrior, but shed tears here, holding Li Yuan's little face, Li Yuan put his forehead on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, I have suffered you......"
"Father, I'm so uncomfortable, this sackcloth has tied my hands and feet, I'm bleeding, bed bugs are sucking my blood, you save me, I don't want to die......" Li Yuan cried and pleaded, blood slowly oozing out of his nose.
Holding his head tightly, Li Nuan pulled up his clothes and wiped the blood from his nose.
Holding his face, Li Greed shook his head painfully and said: "Not yet, child, you are sick, Dad has to find a way to cure your illness, if you persist a little longer, Dad will definitely save you." ”
"Dad! I'm itching, those bugs are sucking my blood again! I'm uncomfortable, Dad!" Li Yuan cried.
With a slap of the palm, the blood mist penetrated through the cracks in the linen, but no living creature was found, Li Yuan knew that the demon clan had not left yet, and these feelings were all it used to torture Li Yuan.
After a few slaps, Li Yu comforted and said, "Okay, Dad beat them all to death, it's not uncomfortable, ah!"
Li Yuan's words seemed to really work, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he hung his head with difficulty and said: "I'm sleepy, Dad, I want to sleep, you let me sleep for a while......"
The tip of his nose was sore, Li Yuan hugged Li Yuan's thin body, and said in a trembling voice: "Sleep! Yuan'er, sleep!"
"How do you feel?" a cold voice sounded in my ears.
Li greedily straightened up, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at him from under Li Yuan's messy hair, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a strange smile. 、
"Heart Demon!" his teeth clenched, Li Greed clenched his fists, he wanted to punch that smile, but it was his son's face, Li Greed gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"
"Can't stand it just like this?" Li Yuan's bloody face made his little face look terrifying and gloomy, and he said with a cruel smile: "Not only him, but all of you Terrans will soon be in fear and wailing like him, cheer!
"I've just borrowed a little bit of your strength, why should I kill them all!"
"Hmm! We have a deep memory of the failures of the year! Do you know the Snake Clan, the king of the Scales Clan? We have learned a lot of lessons from the failures of the past, for example, if we don't miss any opportunity, just like the Snake Clan, we bite a little bit of the skin, so we must be ready to be swallowed by us! Hmm, hahahaha!"
Li Greed gritted his teeth and said: "It was the Scale Clan who drove you underground, you should go to the Dragon Clan to settle accounts!
"I don't know wow!" Li Yuan shook his head, laughing very arrogantly, he stared at Li Yuan and said, "Maybe, it's because you are unlucky, right? Hahahaha!" Laughing, Li Yuan's smile gradually faded, and he slowly lowered his head, and the whole person seemed to be asleep, and there was no movement.
Li Yan clenched his fists tightly, but he could only watch as the demons in his heart retreated. After a while, Li Yuan's body trembled, and he suddenly woke up and shouted, "Don't kill me!
Li Yuan looked at the crying Li Yuan, but hesitated and didn't stretch out his hand for the first time.
When he opened his eyes and looked at Li Yuan in front of him, Li Yuan seemed to be relieved, and cried: "Dad, I'm afraid of ......"
was shocked by this father's scream, Li Yuan was distressed and guilty, reached out to hug Li Yuan, and comforted: "Don't cry, Dad is here, Dad is here!"
Finally comforted Li Yuan, Li Yuan asked the guards who came with him to bring delicate roasted lamb meat and feed Li Yuan to eat. Looking at Li Yuan's greedy devouring appearance, the anxiety and anger in Li Yuan's heart could not be concealed, he had never wanted to kill like this at this moment. I don't know when he started, he seemed to be caught in a huge whirlpool, as if the omnipresent enemy wanted to drag him and the entire Li people into the whirlpool of death.
I will not admit defeat, I will not let my children and my people endure this kind of suffering, all evil thoughts will come at me!
After gently feeding Li Yuan and eating, Li Yuan wiped the corners of Li Yuan's mouth with his sleeve.
"Father, let me go! I don't want to stay here, I'm going to die. Li Yuan looked at Li and pleaded bitterly.
His heart was full of pain, but Li Greed still shook his head and said, "Yuan'er, my father will cure your illness soon and take you out." ”
"When?"
"Soon!"
"How fast?"
"Soon ......"
Standing up, Li Yuan walked out slowly, and behind him, Li Yuan suddenly asked again: "Father, is my mother going to give birth to a younger brother for me?" Li Yuan lowered his head, and his hair covered his bloodshot eyes.
Li Yuan stopped, turned around suddenly, and asked in a cold voice, "Who told him!"
Swish!
The guards fell to their knees, and Li Tu said nervously, "Patriarch, we have never said a word here. ”
The murderous aura was restrained, Li Yuan knew that the guards would not lie, he slowly walked back to Li Yuan, held his little face and said: "Yuan'er, you are a man of my Li clan, and the son of my Li Yuan, you have to hold on, you have to believe in your father, your father will definitely save you." With that, he turned around and walked out, while Li Yuan behind him leaned on the stake, looking at his back blankly.
"He doesn't even know how to save you, and you think it's perfunctory, right? You're not sick, your illness is that you're growing up, you're his son, and he doesn't want you to grow up, so he's going to give birth to a smaller one and grow up slowly, right?"
Li Yuan's consciousness was awake in a blur, and he fell asleep in a wake.
An invisible cracking sound sounded, and the heart demon trembled with excitement, and it drilled into the gap in Li Yuan's heart, and said as it drilled: "Sleep! You are tired, just sleep, tomorrow, you will think about a lot of things, and you will not be in pain anymore." ”
A seed was put into Li Yuan's heart by the heart demon, it looked at Li Yuan who was tired and asleep and smiled: "Hate, grow! The more you hate, the stronger I will be, you are the banner of our clan's counterattack, the benevolent demon lord will give you the right to herd the human race, you will thank me, son of luck!"
