As soon as Chi Yao finished his mocking words, the King Beast's attack was launched almost instantly.
The barriers between Chi Yao and Shi Xing were established immediately afterwards.
The attacking mental power and the barrier collided.
Resisting each other -
exploding.
Chi Yao's barrier was in front and was shattered by the attack of the King Beast. Shi Xing's was behind and the attack of the King Beast, which had partially resisted the mental power, fell on Shi Xing's barrier. When Shi Xing did not reinforce it, the barrier and the attack just happened to counteract each other and shattered again.
The King Beast is stronger than them.
More than a little.
Things became tricky.
As soon as the two barriers fell, Shi Xing attacked the King Beast. Naturally, the King Beast did not dare to hurt him. Chi Yao cooperated, and after a few back and forth, both sides stopped at the same time.
A piece of fur was bald on one of the King Beast's claws, which was caused by Shi Xing's devouring ability.
Shi Xing and Chi Yao had used up most of their mental energy, and at the same time, they had also figured out the strength of the King Beast.
In short, it was almost impossible for the two of them to kill the King Beast and escape unscathed.
Even if he sacrificed himself to devour the King Beast, Shi Xing was not sure that he would have a 100% chance of success.
His devouring ability had only reached its limit the last time he was chased.
There weren't so many star beasts for Shi Xing to practice on after returning to the empire, so he didn't know.
But it felt like... it would be difficult.
The King Beast should be the star beast with the strongest mental power that he and Chi Yao had ever seen.
"I remember."
The King Beast spoke, slowly.
"The two kings of the empire, you have their spiritual power."
"They," after a pause, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or true confusion, asked with strange eyes, "Are they still alive?"
This was too provocative. Knowing the reason why Chi Yao's parents died early, Shi Xing subconsciously looked at Chi Yao.
Chi Yao, however, had a calm expression and no intention of taking action again.
"How can a human compare with a star beast in terms of longevity." He
didn't finish his words, a typical half-said and half-left.
But strange eyes nodded, "I think so too."
He still understood.
This made people feel a little scared.
It's nothing else, the way of speaking is too much like a person, it shouldn't be.
Shi Xing and Chi Yao both felt the increased psychological pressure.
But they didn't show it on their faces.
The alien licked the claws whose hair had been cut off and said leisurely, "You are no match for me."
Shi Xing's heart skipped a beat.
Chi Yao's provocative words at the beginning were meant to provoke the king beast and test the opponent's strength. Shi Xing understood his intention. The king beast was enraged, and the subsequent resistance of the two of them was also synchronized, but the alien could understand... This made Shi Xing's sense of weirdness reach its peak since entering the blue star.
Chi Yao also frowned, but his words did not fall behind.
"When you attacked our galaxy before, you also thought it was quite simple."
The alien: "Interesting."
The brown star beast stood on the side, shocked by what he saw.
There are still people who can hurt the king beast. There is anger, but not much, more shock.
Since it was born, it has never seen a star beast that can challenge the authority of the king beast.
This is the first time.
Chi Yao asked something else, "How did you learn the language, relying on the teaching materials left by Blue Star?"
Shi Xing's heart moved.
But the heterochromatic pupil ignored it, and the golden and silver eyes looked at Shi Xing again, and said directly, "When are you going to take me away from Blue Star?"
Shi Xing: "We haven't agreed on the conditions yet." The
heterochromatic pupil: "That's right."
The heterochromatic pupil: "Then let's start talking now."
Slowly, he said the amazing words.
Shi Xing actually didn't want to talk now.
According to the plan, today they should first get familiar with Blue Star, and then understand the current situation of Blue Star, but...
the king beast is smarter than they thought, and if it learns the language, it may have a more thorough understanding of the cultural environment in the Twin Stars.
Because it learned on Blue Star, as a planet full of healers, there should be no planet that is as popular as Blue Star among other planets in the galaxy, and no planet can have good diplomatic relations with all other planets in all galaxies.
After hesitating for a moment, Chi Yao answered for Shi Xing, "Okay."
"Is that it?"
The words passed through the sight of the strange pupil looking at Shi Xing, covering up Shi Xing's abnormality.
"That's it."
After staring at Chi Yao for a while, the strange pupil said.
The negotiation was conducted by Chi Yao.
It was still relatively fast.
Yi Tong agreed to all the conditions, but was stuck at the last step.
"What do you mean, to make a contract in the spiritual sea?" Yi Tong hesitated and said word by word.
"It is a kind of ability that the Blue Star people have . The contract can restrain the spiritual sea. If it is violated, the spiritual sea will be broken."
"Of course," Chi Yao added, "It is a beast core for you." Yi Tong was speechless. His face was full of doubt and disbelief. Chi Yao: "I have it in my spiritual sea. I can release my spiritual power for you to feel it, but it is impossible for you to sweep my spiritual sea. The trust between us is not to this extent yet." The contract was activated by the time star, and Yi Tong felt that another kind of energy fluctuation appeared in Chi Yao's spiritual sea, which was not his own spiritual power. Yi Tong stopped talking completely. Chi Yao: "You agreed so quickly, don't you think we have no way to constrain ourselves?" "Are there any rules for going back on your word now?" The man narrowed his eyes and his gaze became dangerous.
This confirmed Chi Yao and Shi Xing's guess that Yi Tong would not implement all the promises and treaties, so it would agree to whatever they proposed, because it had never thought of abiding by it.
Yi Tong naturally said "yes, yes, yes" to everything that was just a piece of empty paper, and agreed to it first.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Xing calmed down his unhappy mood again.
In the end, as expected, an accident happened.
This time it was Wang Beast's turn to say that he would consider it.
The very purpose of making this request was to embarrass Wang Beast. Chi Yao pretended to be unhappy, and argued with Yi Tong for a while before letting it go and reluctantly accepting the other party's proposal for consideration.
Some other requirements required Wang Beast to fulfill immediately.
For example, telling everything that really happened on Blue Star.
And the current situation of Blue Star.
And letting them walk around and check on Blue Star.
These are all trivial matters, Yitong said simply, "No problem."
But he did not come forward, he called an old star beast, followed by Shi Xing and Chi Yao, it was a group of star beasts that it brought when it invaded Blue Star, and now it can be seen that its life span is almost over.
Shi Xing: "I thought you would tell us
in person." Yitong's answer was no different from what he would say, "I think it's best for us not to have any more conflicts before leaving Blue Star, otherwise if I accidentally kill one of you, it will be bad for both of us, what do you think?"
The threat was naked.
Shi Xing gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Chi Yao: "That star beast can't use energy to transmit messages, can it also speak? "
The star beasts that can speak the language of the Blue Star people should be the star beasts born on the Blue Star, not its earliest population.
Different Eyes: "Not too much, but it's enough to talk about what happened in the past."
This star beast is the partner of the King Beast in learning languages, and accompanies the King Beast to learn vocabulary and other things, but because he is not very smart and has no interest in the galaxy language, he has only learned three or four points, speaks upside down, and his pronunciation is not very standard.
However, it is understandable, barely.
The story is not long, nor vivid, with only a few words, but it makes Shi Xing feel as if he has really witnessed the destruction of the Blue Star.
The King Beast captured people to heal their wounds, but no one was willing, and then the star beast's best plundering and slaughtering It happened on this planet.
It didn't end until the last blue star person was killed.
A race on a planet was destroyed, the energy on the planet exploded, and the special energy field outside the blue star surrounded it. The accumulation of energy opened a wormhole, causing the blue star to move to the current galaxy.
It was indeed not long, just a few sentences, but it reflected the real situation of the year, and Shi Xing didn't dare to think about it carefully.
Sending the star beast away, Chi Yao said in a deep voice: "The king beast is very intelligent."
Shi Xing nodded: "Yes."
Not only can he understand the ways of the world, he will also learn to avoid conflicts. There is no obvious difference between his thoughts and those of a person, except for the different perspectives.
Neither of them spoke, but they understood the meaning.
Such a king beast is too difficult to kill.
Shi Xing: "Even if we perfunctorily deal with it, it will also perfunctorily deal with us. "
It is most appropriate to describe today's negotiations between the two parties as hypocritical and evasive. Both parties are full of nonsense and only consider their own goals. No matter what conditions are actually proposed, they will not consider whether the other party can do it.
Wang Beast wants to take revenge on them later.
They are the same. For a star beast that is destined to die, it doesn't matter what they promise.
Shi Xing let out a long breath, he couldn't think of a solution and had a headache.
Chi Yao was silent for a while, but said, "Didn't you say you wanted to visit Blue Star? Are you leaving now? "
The small mothership is not big, and Wangshou will definitely have to consider it for two days.
During these two days, they can travel all over Blue Star. Shi Xing's expression finally softened and he nodded.
They had to eat something before setting off. In case they had no food, Xu Jin and Yan Changyue had prepared a lot of frozen cooked food, waiting for them to use. After dinner, Chi Yao even squeezed two crystal fruits for Shi Xing on the mothership. When the juice was brought to him, Shi Xing widened his eyes in surprise.
"Hold on, don't stare your eyes out." "
Changyue insisted on stuffing it in when we left, saying that you liked to drink it, and he prepared it for seven days in a row. If I said I didn't know how, I felt he would teach me on the spot, believe it or not?"
His tone was humorous, and Shi Xing was very happy.
"Thank you, Your Highness. "
He continued.
Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing's cunning smile, paused for a moment, and patted his head.
This was the first time he had smiled since he came to Blue Star.
"Drink, after lunch, we'll take a walk around the planet."
"Yeah."
In the afternoon, he drove the mothership around the planet.
The original residence and buildings of Blue Star have been abandoned for a long time and no one has seen them.
Fortunately, the mother tree of the birthplace has been preserved, but when Shi Xing flew by, he did not feel the spiritual power of the mother tree, which was a bit strange.
"It doesn't look like it's dead. If it was dead, it would have withered after more than a hundred years."
Shi Xing nodded, with some worry in his eyes.
"Let's come here in the end."
"Okay. "
The original city is still there, and the traces of fighting are obvious. There are many collapsed buildings in the residential area.
The sparsely populated houses are basically abandoned unless there are no star beasts coming and going.
The city has a high building density, and the large star beasts are not very willing to go inside. Except for the plants everywhere, most of them are still preserved.
After finding a map of Blue Star, they decided to go to the capital.
The capital is not as well preserved as other cities, and most of the battles took place here. Shi Xing touched the collapsed ruins and said uncertainly, "I seem to be able to feel the remaining mental power on it."
Chi Yao tried, "There is indeed residual energy."
The fight was too intense at the time.
Chi Yao could not feel the mental power of the Blue Star people, but the star beasts', it was really not less.
After touring the capital in silence, Shi Xing found some books and reading materials of Blue Star Technology in a relatively intact school and took them back to the mothership.
"Do you want to take a look around?"
Chi Yao asked Shi Xing when he suggested leaving.
Shi Xing shook his head tiredly. He
wanted to say something, but stopped.
After a moment, he said tiredly, "No, it's too uncomfortable, I don't want to see it anymore."
There were traces of fighting everywhere, and even some bloodstains could be seen indoors.
The most terrifying thing was that they had not seen a corpse until now, and they should have all been eaten by the star beasts.
Shi Xing didn't want to look anymore. These buildings left behind civilization, but also brought him suffocating sorrow.
Chi Yao understood and held out his hand. Shi
Xing shook his hand back, and the two of them intertwined their fingers, silently relying on each other for support.
The last stop was the birthplace.
Shi Xing brought flower scissors specially. The mother trees in the imperial capital inspired him. He thought that if there were still mother trees on Blue Star, bringing two might make them happy. Although Shi Xing had not learned pruning, Chi Yao said that he had learned it, including theory and royal art classes.
In short, in the end, the flower scissors were still brought on the mother ship. When
he arrived at his birthplace and met again, a hundred years had passed.
Shi Xing sighed slightly.
Some mother trees have withered and died, but new mother trees are born and growing.
Walking closer, Shi Xing finally knew why he couldn't feel his mental power. These mother trees didn't seem very active? They
were incomparable to the one in the imperial capital.
This is...
"What happened?" Shi Xing wondered.
Chi Yao observed for a while, and said uncertainly, "Like, sleeping?"
There is growth and spiritual power, but it doesn't move much.
But, can the mother tree sleep?
Shi Xing approached one and shook it, but there was no response. The activity level was much lower than when he met him on Blue Star.
They are exactly like the trees in the imperial capital, plants, not the intermediate state between the two.
"You release your spiritual power and try it." Chi Yao suggested.
Facts have proved that the mother tree does sleep.
Or it is a kind of protection mechanism (Chi Yao guessed).
Shi Xing released his spiritual power. As the first mother tree woke up, his spiritual power spread and he felt a familiar breath. A spectacular scene appeared in front of the two of them. Like water waves spreading out, the originally silent forest gradually woke up from the first mother tree they touched.
The spiritual power started from the first tree. In Shi Xing's sight, the active spiritual power of the mother trees was gradually released until it filled this world.
Shi Xing felt a sense of belonging.
Chi Yao felt like he was in an orchard. The superposition of the spiritual power of hundreds of mother trees would make people feel comfortable without any worries.
It was the gentleness of spiritual power that was unique to the people of Blue Star.
The first tree woke up and found Shi Xing. It rubbed its branches against him as if it had found a treasure.
On this day, Chi Yao heard the rustling sound of hundreds of branches shaking.
The mother tree seemed to be saying hello.
Shi Xing touched the trunk, with a myriad of emotions, which eventually turned into four words, "Long time no see."
The mother tree wanted to pick up Shi Xing, and after a tentative attempt, it circled him and picked him up, put him down, circled him again, and tentatively pulled him inside.
Shi Xing: "Do you want to take me in?"
The branches swayed, as if asking for Shi Xing's opinion.
Shi Xing nodded, "Sure."
As soon as he finished speaking with spiritual power, his eyes blurred, and he was led inside by the mother tree, conveying excitedly.
Soon, Shi Xing disappeared from Chi Yao's sight. Shi Xing was taken into the dense tree canopy by the mother tree.
As if treating a child, the mother tree passed Shi Xing from one tree to the next, and passed it around in a large circle. Chi Yao was not idle either. He was guided by the mother tree all the way inside. The closer he got to the center, the higher his mental power felt.
He should be taken to the heart of his birthplace.
Along the way, Chi Yao saw blue fruits hanging on the tree, and felt a little strange.
His thoughts turned, if there were blue fruits on the tree, why there were no blue stars on the planet for so many years?
It didn't make sense, but it didn't seem like the star beasts had eaten him. After
all, there were not many star beasts around.
Realizing something, Chi Yao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the blue fruit again.
Star beasts... eat blue fruit?
The moment this thought came to his mind, Chi Yao's first reaction was to frown.
Shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts, Chi Yao followed the instructions of the branch and walked inside.
The mother tree was also very friendly to him. The branch would gently brush against his body, but would not hurt him, only leaving a gentle breath to make people relax.
When he walked to the center of the birthplace, Chi Yao saw an open space.
After a while, Shi Xing, who had been passed around, was finally put down. Shi Xing had a smile on his face, and his head, face and body were all covered with leaves that had fallen from the mother tree. The branch that put him down was still a little reluctant, and only let go after Shi Xing pushed him.
Chi Yao's eyes were gentle, and he reached out to help Shi Xing pick the leaves off him.
Shi Xing smiled and said, "They haven't seen anyone for a long time, they are so happy."
Especially since they had seen each other more than a hundred years ago.
Shi Xing said helplessly, "They are too enthusiastic."
Every tree came to rub him, and the next tree would urge the next one to come. It was really... Shi Xing didn't know how to describe it.
"Well, you haven't seen your children for a long time."
Looking at Shi Xing's smiling face, Chi Yao said softly, and helped him pick the leaves seriously.
After his body was cleaned up, Shi Xing exclaimed, "Here?"
"What's wrong?" "
This is the place where the mother tree of the empire was transplanted." Before he finished speaking, Chi Yao suddenly said, "Xingxing, look up."
Shi Xing looked up and was speechless when he saw the shocking scene.
The trunks and branches were pieced together to form a silhouette, which was the figure of the priest.
"Priest?" Shi Xing murmured unconsciously.
He got the swing of a branch.
Chi Yao understood, "They should be saying that you didn't recognize it wrongly."
Then, the branches pieced together to form the shape of a star beast, and then became a circle.
Shi Xing didn't understand, but Chi Yao looked at it for a while and understood a little, "Maybe they want to show you what happened to Blue Star after you left?" He
said it uncertainly.
But he got the swing of the mother tree.
They sat down in this open space.
Chi Yao's guess was correct. The mother tree used branches and leaves to piece together pictures, telling Shi Xing everything that happened on Blue Star. The figure that appeared most often was the priest.
The priest should have told them that Shi Xing would come back.
Each picture was much more detailed than the star beast's description, which made people resonate.
Even if they were talking about the same thing, the immersive experience could not be replaced by words.
They saw the meeting on Blue Star, the invasion of the king beast, the desperate resistance of Blue Star, and finally, the destruction of Blue Star.
The priest finally came to his birthplace and died in the company of the mother tree.
Not long after the extinction of mankind on Blue Star, the star beast would eat blue fruit to survive on Blue Star.
After a while, the mother tree fell into a deep sleep with this picking.
Shi Xing looked at the branches, which still had blue fruits on them, and anger filled his chest.
Chi Yao felt that the mother tree knew something. Even if it couldn't speak, it could communicate.
Chi Yao: "So, did the priest leave any message?"
Shi Xing asked the same question as him, "How good is the beast core of the king beast?"
These two questions are one question for the mother tree.
A blue fruit fell, and the mother tree pushed it in front of Shi Xing.
Realizing something, Shi Xing's hand trembled as he caught the fruit.
Chi Yao frowned, "No, this is not a normal blue fruit."
Chi Yao often went to the mother tree, and he often saw what blue fruits looked like.
He finally knew why he felt strange when he entered his birthplace. These blue fruits were not right. They were not normal fruits.
"This is..."
"Empty fruit." Shi Xing said slowly.
The two looked at the mother tree.
The mother tree shook its branches in response.
Chi Yao understood, "They probably don't want the blue fruits to be eaten. They can't control the process of "fruiting", but they can choose not to breed life in them."
After saying that, he got the mother tree's response again.
The guess was correct.
Chi Yao: "So, it is good for the king beast to eat blue fruits? Why?" Shi
Xing looked at the empty fruit in his hand and said slowly, "The fruit that hung a hundred years ago can still breed life... Those that are about to mature should have healing mental power."
When they were young, they couldn't control the healing mental power. Only
when they grow up will they slowly use different mental powers.
Chi Yao was speechless.
The mother trees shook their branches in silence, and their original excitement disappeared.
Shi Xing was right.
Shi Xing tightened his fingers, unable to control the anger in his heart.
Chi Yao: "So, what is the message left by the priest?"
"Did he leave a message?"
The mother tree shook.
Once again, it pushed the blue fruit towards the two of them.
Chi Yao didn't understand.
Neither did Shi Xing.
The mother tree repeated this action several times, thinking that they didn't understand, and even made a silhouette with branches and leaves.
It was a silhouette of the priest holding the child named Lily in one hand and holding the blue fruit in the other.
Something crossed Shi Xing's mind.
In the tree nest, the mother tree also handed the blue fruit to him in this way...
Countless pictures were pieced together, Shi Xing's eyes were confused for a moment, and suddenly, he spoke.
"I know."
Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing.
Shi Xing looked at Lan Guo again, his eyes refocused, shining, and he murmured.
"So that's how it is."
- "Don't force it. When you return to Blue Star, all the answers will naturally appear before your eyes."
The words the priest said rang in his ears again.
So, that's what he meant.
