Chapter 55: The Backyard is on Fire (The previous chapter has been modified, refresh and read)

Zerg, palace.

The epidemic mission failed, and he dragged his broken body to meet the Insect King.

On the road, he ran into Anubiah. As they passed each other, Shiyi stopped and looked back at the boy, his lips curled up maliciously.

"I saw your little female, she's so pretty~"

Anubiah wanted to ignore the epidemic as usual, but when he heard his words, he looked over and grabbed his collar and threw him against the wall.

His eyes were gloomy and cold. "You! Did you attack her?"

"Haha, just as I expected, you seem to care a lot about that little female~"

Anubia has been distracted since he came back a few months ago. He was asked to catch a female, but ended up losing his own soul.

Shi Yi was quite disdainful. "You are so obsessed with a female. You are really a disgrace to the Zerg. It's because that little female served you so well in bed that you can't leave her..."

His face flushed, "Shut up and answer my question, did you do anything to her?"

"I wanted to bring her back to please you, but that little female was so cunning that she slipped away." Shi Yi covered the bleeding wound on his mutilated right arm, his face pale as he sighed softly, "Your little female wasn't even hurt. I almost died there. You should at least show some concern for your third brother."

Anubiah let go of him with an annoyed look on her face. "Don't try to get close to me. I'm not your biological child."

The Insect King has no biological offspring.

Something that all Zerg know very well.

These princes under his knees are just his heirs chosen in public.

"Is it useful to capture so many females? Is he really infertile?" Anubiah looked towards the palace with cold eyes.

The Zerg originally had no females, so they had to plunder females from the Orcs, but the Orcs were watching them very closely.

When female resources are so scarce, the females must be provided to the insect king for his exclusive use.

It’s such a waste that I can’t have children.

"Who knows~" Shiyi smiled nonchalantly. He grabbed a passing Zerg, killed it without hesitation, took out the crystal core and ate it.

The severed part of his right arm healed quickly in the blink of an eye and returned to normal.

"If you really can't have children, then just change your life~"

Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled at Anubia. "As the third brother, I have good news for you. The little female is now near the Yashili Strait. She shouldn't have gone far. If you want to look for her, you should be able to find her."

Anubiah lowered his head and said nothing, without any reaction, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Before leaving, Shi Yi bumped into his shoulder.

"She said she missed you very much~"

Once the plague entered the palace, Anubiah disappeared instantly.

…

Yahili Strait.

The vast coastline was gradually left behind.

"It's such a long distance, how long will it take to get there?" Sang Luo sat down on the ground, took out a cowhide pot and drank a few sips of water. Her feet were sore from walking.

Duotu laughed and said, "Who told you to run so far? It must have taken at least two days to get there."

Sang Luo wanted to refute him, saying that she could directly space jump back, but she didn't want him to ask her how she got this innate ability. She curled her lips and said, "I don't believe that His Royal Highness, the Prince of the Empire, can't send someone to pick us up."

"The military district is very busy and can't transfer any manpower. Please don't bother others with such a small matter."

"...Hmph." Don't think she can't see that he just wants to stay alone with her for a few more days.

"You're tired of walking. Can I carry you?"

"No, that's corny. I'm not a child."

Before she could finish, Duotu picked her up by the waist and walked away very easily.

Sang Luoxu put his arms around his neck and leaned against his chest. He couldn't help but sigh - this man is really tall, agile and strong.

When it got late, Duotu took her to a cave to rest.

The cave had been cleaned up in advance. He carried Sang Luo to a smooth stone, squatted down and rubbed her feet, sighing softly, "You're really delicate. You've only walked a dozen miles and already have blisters on your feet. I don't know how you managed to run so far!"

"Secret." Sang Luo asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"

"have."

Duotu usually handles paperwork and often carries these things with him. He took out a pen and paper from his space and handed them to her. "What are you going to do?"

"I encountered Zerg in the sea. Some of them are amphibious and can enter the sea. They also plunder females from the sea creatures, but this time the plunder is different from the previous ones. They seem to be planning to... sacrifice the females this time? I saw that they used this kind of formation. Take a look." Sang Luo drew the formation and handed it to him.

Duotu took the paper and looked at it, his face darkening. "A long-banned ritual of human sacrifice, nurturing life through death. They actually want to sacrifice these females' lives to the rules, to produce offspring for the legendary Insect King."

Sang Luo was shocked for a while before he said, "This formation is so cruel. Who created it?"

"The living sacrifice formation was originally created by some extinct king beasts. In order to leave behind an heir, they would sacrifice their own lives to obtain pure-blooded offspring. Originally, this was a consensual act, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, it was soon discovered that if a female with the natural fertility power was used as a sacrifice, and her own blood was used as a sacrifice, offspring could also be born. Moreover, the higher the fertility and the more females there were, the higher the success rate."

"In those years, many females disappeared from the empire and were sold on the black market. Later, when the royal family realized that things were gradually getting out of control, they finally ordered this formation to be a taboo. Unexpectedly, it was obtained by these Zerg..."

"You were captured by the Zerg and almost sacrificed?" His voice was tight.

Sang Luo, "It's true that I was captured, but it wasn't that tragic. I escaped."

Duotu was silent for a long time, then reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, feeling quite relieved that he had survived the disaster.

He really didn't know what she had encountered during this period...

His voice became even sharper, "Next time, don't run away without saying a word!"

"Yeah, okay."

Sang Luo agreed quickly, but Duotu knew she wasn't as honest as she said. He sighed, thinking that no man in the world could truly control her heart.

"This part of the sea is not under my jurisdiction, but I will send an envoy to inform the Beast King there. You can rest assured and don't worry about other things."

"Okay." Sang Luo snuggled in his arms, and physical fatigue came over her.

Duotu changed into beast form and lay on the ground on its side, allowing her to sleep on its softest belly.

Sang Luo touched his soft and smooth golden fur and sighed, "Your beast mother is really a female angel."

"Well, how did you know?"

"Caesar mentioned it to me at the time."

Duotu hummed softly.

Sang Luo muttered again, "Why can't I find any trace of angel blood in you?"

Duotu blushed, fortunately he was in beast form now, "I, I haven't awakened the angel bloodline inheritance..."

A hybrid born king beast sounds quite impressive, as if it can combine the strengths of two clans of king beasts. But in fact, awakening the inheritance of two clans of king beasts at the same time is much more difficult than a pure-blooded king beast. When he was born, he only awakened the inheritance of the Flame Lion clan, and did not awaken the inheritance of the Angel clan.

There is also a possibility of awakening later in life, but the possibility is extremely low. I am afraid that he will never be able to awaken the bloodline inheritance of the angel clan in this lifetime, so Duotu rarely announces his other half of the bloodline to the outside world.

The beast in the picture is extremely majestic and slender. When lying flat, it is almost six or seven meters long and two or three meters wide. It is bigger than the bed. Sang Luo can even roll on his belly!

She reached out and pinched his paw, which was bigger than his face!

I plucked his fur again; it was so soft and supple! I could tell he must have carefully groomed his golden coat every day.

Duotu closed his eyes and let the little female play with him. Sang Luo was too sleepy after playing for a while, so he leaned on the warm and broad chest of the golden lion, feeling safe and fell asleep quickly.

The thick, long tail gently wrapped around her waist.

Duotu opened his eyes and glanced at her before falling asleep.

In the morning, Sang Luo took out some dried meat from the space, and after eating, the two continued on their journey.

Although they said they were on a journey, in fact, their state was more like an outing, resting and playing for a while. When the distance was far, Duotu would teleport her to continue on the journey. When they passed by, they saw fish in the river and went to catch fish.

When an orc's strength reaches the king level, his power will undergo a drastic change, and he can easily shrink his size, which is also called teleportation.

But in fact, there is an essential difference between teleportation and space jumping. The former simply shortens the time, while the latter is space travel.

Distance also made a huge difference. Generally, teleportation could only achieve rapid movement within a few dozen kilometers. Space jumps, on the other hand, theoretically had no spatial limitations. However, Sang Luo wasn't very proficient in using this innate skill. She was afraid of accidentally teleporting herself to a dangerous place, so she avoided it whenever possible.

The two of them covered more than half the distance in one day.

In the evening, Sang Luo wanted to eat grilled fish, so he took out a fat fish that he caught in the river at noon from the space and started grilling it.

With a flick of her finger, the flames instantly engulfed the firewood. She once again sighed that this fire-related talent ability was really convenient for cooking anytime and anywhere.

After helping Sang Luo clean the fish, he skewered them with branches and grilled them over the fire, until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. As soon as Sang Luo sprinkled some seasoning on them, the aroma filled his nose.

Sang Luo finished the whole fish without realizing it. He licked his lips with satisfaction, glanced at Duotu who had been busy running around but hadn't even gotten a bite to eat, touched his stomach, and said a little embarrassedly, "Shall I catch you another one?"

Duotu looked at her with a smile, "I'm not hungry."

He suddenly leaned forward, brushing his warm lips against hers and licking her lips with the tip of his tongue.

Sang Luo widened his eyes.

His long fingers rubbed her soft lips ambiguously, and his voice was light and cheerful.

"I want to eat this, is that okay?"

Not far away, Anubiah came over and saw the two flirting. The bouquet of flowers in his hand instantly disappeared and he turned around and disappeared.

Sang Luo turned his head and looked outside the cave. There was no one there. Could there be a star beast nearby?

She stood up and said to Duotu, "Well, I'm going to pee."

"Um."

Duotu changed into animal form, stretched out on the ground, and lay down.

As soon as she walked out of the cave, Sang Luo was pulled over by a strong force. She opened her eyes and looked at the black-haired boy in front of her with a distant expression and a thick and gorgeous appearance. Before she could speak, he lowered his head and kissed her.

It’s more like a bite to vent anger than a kiss.

The smell of blood quickly filled her lips and teeth. Sang Luo pushed him away angrily and wiped her lips. The pain made her grimace and she cursed, "You're crazy!"

Anubia looked at her sullenly, said nothing, and took a step forward.

Sang took a step back.

I was so annoyed. I just chased one away, and now another one is here?

It never ends!

"...Are you here to settle accounts with me, or do you want to kill me?" she asked coldly, one hand behind her back.

Seeing her fear and caution, Anubiah knew that Shi Yi had deceived him. He clenched and unclenched his hands at his side, and laughed in anger. "You took my talents and abilities and you think you can get rid of me like this? That's a nice thought. Do you still remember what we didn't finish that day?"

He licked his lower lip, as if savoring the taste, "Let's make up for it tonight~"

"You've had your fun, and now you want to pay for it? No way."

Anubia was stung and jumped up and down, "Other males can do it, why can't I!"

As he said that, he reached out and tried to pull her away forcibly.

Almost at the same time, a bullet broke through the air and pierced his arm. "Ugh!" Anubia took a few steps back after being hit, covering his injured arm, and looked at the blond man who was rushing over with a gloomy face.

Duotu's expression became even uglier. He loaded the gun and pointed it directly at his head.

"Zerg?"

Anubia turned his head and looked at Sang Luo with a smile, "Your new lover is quite ruthless."

"Luoluo, come here quickly!"

Duotu gestured anxiously.

Anubiah was a step faster, teleporting to Sang Luo's side and grabbing her hand with a frightening force. In fact, he could have just taken her away, or even used her to threaten Duotu, but he did nothing. His heart was filled with sadness and anger. He pinched her chin and kissed her fiercely in front of Duotu.

Duotu's face turned pale, he teleported over and punched Anubia.

He stumbled back a few steps, reached out to wipe the blood from his lips, and smiled wickedly, "I've marked her. I can find her no matter where she is. You'd better keep a close eye on her."

The bullet penetrated the void, and Anubiah disappeared, leaving behind only a space wave of energy explosion.

Sang Luo cursed in her heart, "Is this Zerg a dog? He bit her twice, her mouth was swollen and bleeding!"

"...So this is how you got your talent for space jumping?" Duotu reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and then he realized why she was able to get from the imperial capital to the Yashili Strait in such a short time.

"Well, I was taken away by the Zerg before, and I had no choice but to give myself to him. I stole his innate abilities and was able to escape death several times." Sang Luo didn't like Anubia, but she had to admit that his innate abilities were really useful. If she had the chance to do it again, she probably wouldn't let him go.

When Duotu heard this, he stopped being jealous and said, "You did the right thing!"

"Who is this Zerg?" he asked again.

"Anubia."

"So it was him." Duotu had also fallen victim to his trap in the past. Anubia had always been cautious in his actions and would usually change into multiple images to confuse his opponents, so he had never seen him in this image before.

"Next time we meet, I will kill him!"
