After a 500-year dream, returning from the cultivation world, he only wanted to treat those pitiable mutated beasts. Oh! And pet their fur... As a result, he became incredibly popular with all beas...
"Human, human." He Mo's mental power unexpectedly caught a trace of shapeless mental power. It was a gentle female voice. She tried to keep her voice steady, but the trembling ending still exposed the fact that she was suffering great pain.
"Are you the consciousness of this snake?" He Mo asked uncertainly, moving more gently.
"Yes, human, thank you for expelling the dark energy for me." A gentle female voice brushed through He Mo's mind. She spoke a little haltingly, appearing to be struggling. "Human, I, I will try my best to remain still."
After a pause, the female voice continued, "Please help me, help me get rid of the Zerg in my brain."
Sure enough, if what the female voice said was true, the Red Snake King remained in a coiled position without moving, with its huge head low on its thick body, and only its tail gently slapping the ground showed the great pain the giant snake was suffering at the moment.
He Mo was very surprised. He didn't expect that he could meet such a strange creature here. It could communicate with him through mental power without any training, relying purely on talent. If he guessed correctly, the red snake king in front of him should have more than one superpower.
"Xiao Mo, what's wrong?" Zhong Qing looked at the motionless He Mo with concern, fearing that something might happen to him.
"It's okay. I just feel a little surprised." He Mo came back to his senses, smiled at Zhong Qing, comforted him, and then continued to drive away the Zerg.
Under He Mo's coercion, this ugly insect kept crawling out from the depths of the brain and approaching the periphery little by little. When the insect finally reached the edge, it suddenly stopped and did not move no matter how He Mo drove it from behind.
What's going on? He Mo approached with great interest. Zhong Qing followed him closely, staring at the Red Snake King closely, fearing that it would suddenly become ferocious.
When He Mo got closer, the connection of mental power became stronger. He Mo clearly saw that there was a bulge in the abdomen of this Zerg. This was a Zerg that was about to give birth. Once it left the brain of the Red Snake King, its child would die.
Although this type of insect race can easily transmit dark energy to alien beasts, it has a fatal flaw, which is that the newly born insects must survive in a fresh, living brain. The stronger the alien beast it parasitizes, the stronger the ability of the insects. If these insects successfully survive in the brain of the Red Snake King, with their ability to transmit dark energy, it can be concluded that basically no alien beast can escape.
"Stop it." The Red Snake King obviously knew the seriousness of the matter. The gentle female voice carried a sense of determination and heroism. He Mo knew that if he failed to expel it this time, the Red Snake King would definitely commit suicide. It would never allow this disgusting insect to parasitize in its body.
It is absolutely impossible for ordinary beasts to wake up during the parasitic process. The Red Snake King is an exception. Its mental strength is stronger than that of most people in the Federation. Even Zhou Yan who was present could not compare with it. It was only after being parasitized by the Zerg and stimulated by He Mo that it was able to wake up.
"Don't worry." He Mo would certainly not let this disgusting insect survive. The young man's eyes flashed with cruelty and curiosity. The next moment, the female insect was wrapped by He Mo's mental power and forcibly pulled out of the brain of the Red Snake King.
If someone watched closely, they would definitely be scared to death by this scene. They saw an ugly black insect struggling in the air, and purple-black eggs were scattered from the end of its abdomen. Soon, these tiny and light eggs fell on the scorched earth. The little insects crawled out weakly and soon turned into corpses that could not withstand the pressure of the external environment.
Seeing this, the dark and ugly Zerg screamed miserably. He Mo didn't let it scream for too long. After a while, the Zerg's brain tilted and it lost its life. Green mucus seeped out of its brain and stuck to the scorched earth.
The Zerg crisis was resolved, and the Red Snake King's stiff body slowly relaxed. A gentle female voice rang out again: "Human, thank you for expelling the Zerg for me."
As it spoke, the huge snake head lowered from the sky, and a look different from the usual coldness appeared in its vertical pupils with a hint of silver.
"Xiao Mo, be careful." Zhong Qing immediately stood in front of He Mo, looking vigilantly at the snake head that was almost the size of a room. Energy surged in his palms. As long as the Red Snake King showed the intention to attack, he could immediately launch a counterattack.
"It just wants to express its gratitude." He Mo patted Zhong Qing's shoulder, somewhat amused by his jumpiness, as if he was as defenseless as a baby. He Mo walked out from behind him, stretching one hand towards the sky.
The Scarlet Snake King looked at Zhong Qing for a long moment before lowering his head and gently rubbing He Mo's soft, white hand. "Human, the human next to you cares deeply about you. He's very lucky. I have a gift for you. I hope you can be together happily for a long time."
As soon as the words fell, a red bead as pure as crystal appeared from the mouth of the Scarlet Snake King. It spit the bead into He Mo's palm and said, "This is what you human lovers want most. I hope you like it. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the Exotic Beast Forest to find me."
After saying this, the Red Snake King rubbed He Mo's hand again, and then swam away into the distance with its snake body that covered the sky and the sun.
Before He Mo could say anything, a warm little red bead appeared in his hand. It was made of a very strange material. He Mo became interested. He seemed to have discovered that there was a mysterious rule in this bead.
He Mo, who lowered his head to play with the beads, did not notice that Zhong Qing's cold face beside him had a blush on it, and his eyes were full of infatuation and love.
"This, this, this..." Adjutant Cheng, who had watched the whole process, almost dug his eyes out. What he saw must not be true. The rumored violent and ferocious forest king of beasts, the Red Snake King, actually took the initiative to rub against his general's sweetheart and acted very intimately. There must be something wrong with his eyes. No, my God, he could actually expel the dark energy from the brains of wild beasts. This world must be fantasy.
Adjutant Cheng's imagination was frantic, but his expression remained calm. "I never thought that Doctor He's skills were so advanced that he could even expel the dark energy infected by wild beasts like the Scarlet Snake King."
Zhou Yan was so shocked that he spat out the tea in his mouth. His face, which usually showed no emotion, showed shock. He didn't pay attention to the issue of He Mo's mental strength, because everyone with eyes could see the current situation. If anyone still doubted He Mo's ability in this situation, they would be truly blind. He skipped the mental strength part and asked uncertainly, "Is the blessing given to Master He by the Scarlet Snake King the rumored blessing from the God of Love?"
The blessing of the god of love is an energy crystal that is formed every time the red-bellied snake king sheds its skin. It has a special magnetic field that allows two people in love to sense in advance when one of them is about to die. In simple terms, it can allow lovers to foresee death. One crystal can only be used once.
There was once someone in the Federation who was blessed by the God of Love and thus escaped a disaster. However, the Scarlet Snake King was not someone to be trifled with, and no one in the Federation dared to go to his cave to look for crystals. Therefore, the only way to obtain such crystals was by luck or through trade.
Luck means that this kind of crystal can only be found when the Red Snake King sheds its skin. Generally, the Red Snake King will take away the crystal along with the shed skin after shed. The crystal contains a mysterious energy, which also has a certain effect on the Red Snake King. However, there may also be some accidents, and the blessing of the god of love may be left out in the forest of strange beasts.
The transaction means that humans can obtain the blessing of the god of love by exchanging with the Red Snake King, but the conditions are very harsh. The value of what the Red Snake King needs will definitely not be lower than the blessing of the god of love. As a result, there are no more than five blessings of the god of love known in the Federation.
Of these five blessings of the God of Love, three have already been activated, so only two are truly useful. The one in He Mo's hand is the third blessing of the God of Love that can be used.
He Mo observed the crystal for a while. It was naturally formed. If he explored it rashly, he would probably destroy the energy within it. The rules of this crystal were very special, somewhat similar to a creature he had encountered in the world of cultivation.
He Mo happily decided to visit the giant snake in the Forest of Exotic Beasts again when he had the chance. He put the crystal away and caught a glimpse of Zhong Qing's unusual expression from the corner of his eye. He tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion, "Zhong Qing, what's wrong with you?"
The young man's eyes were so pure, full of innocence and ignorance of the world. Zhong Qing's heart suddenly tightened.
"Xiao Mo." Zhong Qing struggled to keep his gaze from looking too possessive. He clenched his fists, his thoughts seemingly forgotten. Then, he heard his own voice, like a vow: "I, Zhong Qing, will protect you for the rest of my life."
He Mo blinked, his long eyelashes were very beautiful, he looked a little puzzled and confused: "You mean, are you in love with me?"
"Yes." Zhong Qing nodded without hesitation: "I fell in love with you. During the days when we were apart, I thought of the time we spent in Shuiyang City every night. Later, when I met you again, I knew that I had completely fallen for you." No matter what secrets you have behind you, I also have countless responsibilities to bear. If possible, after the Zerg War is over, I am willing to accompany you to every place you want to go, accompany you to see the beautiful scenery, and appreciate the countless stars in this universe, just like before on the AD star.
It turned out that it was not an illusion, Zhong Qing really fell in love with him. He Mo had mixed emotions. He lowered his eyes and cruelly rejected him: "I'm sorry, Zhong Qing..."
He had Obsidian, and they were able to share almost endless life, but the life in this universe was too fragile. He didn't want to fall in love and end up with his lover's aging and his eternal sorrow.
In the Beast Taming Sect in the world of cultivation, he practices the way of love. The people he cares about in his life will never disappear with the passage of time, but will continue to deepen his feelings in the depths of his memory. This is exactly the case with his grandfather. Even after five hundred years, he still remembers every moment with his grandfather. He will miss him immensely and feel extremely sad.
Practice the way of compassion, be loving and ruthless.
