Chapter 169: Wings of Frost,
While on the way, Yu Cang suddenly had an idea and wanted to try whether he could extract entries here.
This attempt worked, but the countdown made his face change drastically.
The countdown is seven days long!
One day's countdown is a legend, seven days... a myth?
If a legendary dangerous place still has the possibility of struggling, then myth...
Yu Cang gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked forward.
There is no way to retreat. The only option now is to delay until Ren Zheng arrives.
I originally wanted to see if there were any useful entries here. If they were suitable, maybe I could print a few soul cards that would be helpful for the current situation. But now it seems... seven days is enough, and it's almost too late to wait for the entries to be extracted.
Although this is the first mythical entry extraction that Yu Cang has encountered, unfortunately, according to the current situation, he will definitely not be able to obtain this mythical entry.
He didn't have the time to stay here for seven days - if he was still here after seven days, he would probably have become part of the resentment he had felt before.
While running, the view in front of him suddenly opened up. Yu Cang stopped and found himself at the bottom of a huge passage.
Circles of wrinkles spread upwards along the flesh wall, with human faces all over it, which was very creepy.
This is a place that is almost the same as the passage where Gu Jieshuang is, but unfortunately, it is not the same place.
"Master," the Weeping Girl's voice came, "Those faces... are the source of resentment..."
Yu Cang frowned: "Is there any way to rescue them?"
"I can't. They seem to have become one with this place. I can't tell if there's any chance of saving them..."
"...Is Jie Shuang here?"
"Still further away."
"Keep leading the way."
"good."
The weeping girl pointed out the direction, and Yu Cang took a step and was about to continue running forward. Suddenly, an irresistible force descended from the sky, and Yu Cang lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Brother!" Dragon Girl Qier quickly turned her head, folded her wings, and supported Yu Cang.
"I'm fine..." Yu Cang's breathing quickened. He raised his head and saw the source of this powerful aura. "...Who is it?"
I saw a middle-aged man in a luxurious black ancient robe standing at a hole above my head, with his long hair gently fluttering behind him. His eyes were calm as he looked down at Yu Cang and the dragon girl Qier.
In response to Cang's question, he did not speak, but remained silent.
Yu Cang swallowed his saliva but didn't say anything.
Since this man doesn't want to take action... then just drag it out.
A moment later.
A hint of doubt gradually appeared in the man's calm eyes.
"How could a mere mortal be summoned here?" Yao Qi's puzzled gaze lingered on Yu Cang for a moment before moving to the dragon girl Qi'er beside him. "And you... a descendant of a giant dragon?"
The doubt in Yaoqi's eyes became even stronger.
Below, Yu Cang blinked.
Why do I feel like this person is not very smart?
So, he tentatively said, "Hello, my name is Yu Cang, may I ask..."
Yaoqi still showed no intention of responding. Before Cang could finish speaking, he called out, "Jie Ting."
Wow!
The flesh wall beside Yaoqi suddenly squirmed, and a huge outline gradually became clear in the flesh wall, as if it was floating up from the bottom of the water. Then, a strange head slowly emerged from the flesh wall.
This is a head that looks like a human, but the proportions of the facial features and the details all reveal a strong sense of weirdness. If you look closely, it makes people feel creepy.
The head spoke human words: "You are looking for me."
Yaoqi asked, "Do I have a dragon under my command?"
Jie Ting: "...There are a few."
"That's still useful." Yaoqi nodded, but then a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes, "It's a pity that he is a hybrid who didn't inherit the true blood."
Only the hybrids who inherited the true blood can be used as sacrifices to awaken the ancestors. The greatest purpose of the rest of the hybrids is to die when their bodies are at their best, so that their bodies and blood can serve as nutrients.
Yu Cang's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "What is true blood?"
However, Yaoqi didn't show any sign of responding.
After confirming that there was no real blood in Longnv Qier's body, he waved his hand in boredom and turned away.
"Wait, don't go!" Yu Cang wanted to chase him immediately, but suddenly felt his feet tighten.
He quickly looked down, only to find that the flesh under his feet had all come alive at this moment, as if it had turned into a swamp, constantly devouring his body and decomposing his flesh and blood!
Of course, this is just an illusion. He is just a consciousness now, without flesh and blood. But since this feeling exists, it is definitely not a good sign.
He immediately reached out and flipped open a soul card beside him: "Sword of Judgment!"
Click!
A long sword made of blue energy flew out from the soul card and pierced into the flesh wall, trying to cut off this part, but it had little effect. As soon as the lightsaber touched the flesh wall, it was swallowed by it, and then nothing happened.
The dragon girl Qi'er beside him also hurriedly blew out the Dragon Breath Sword and slashed towards the feet, but it was useless. The speed of the flesh wall's wriggling did not slow down at all, but instead accelerated a little. After a while, it had already swallowed up the knee area.
Yu Cang frowned slightly. He looked at the faces around him and the outlines around them, as if thinking about something.
Qi'er was already a little panicked: "Brother, what should I do... Qi'er felt like something was trying to suck the contents of Qi'er's body away. Qi'er had to use all her strength to resist this suction..."
"Suction..." At the critical moment, Yu Cang calmed down instead.
Stay calm, there must be a way out. Let's sort out the existing clues first.
The middle-aged man called Qi'er "the descendant of the giant dragon" and called himself "mortal blood". It seems that the "descendant" should refer to mixed blood, and the corresponding "mortal blood" to the descendant is naturally human beings.
Before entering this space, the doctor told him that the degree of mixed blood in Gu Jieshuang's body was decreasing, as if it had been sucked away by something.
There were many faces on the wall. If the middle-aged man extracted blood by embedding his consciousness into the flesh wall... then the thing that Qi'er sensed being sucked out of his body should also be blood.
Calling a mixed-blood a bastard, does that mean that the middle-aged man is actually... a spirit beast?
It should be... The guy called Jie Ting is so ugly, he looks like he walked out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is impossible for him to be anything but a spiritual beast.
Thinking of this, the flesh wall had already sucked in Yu Cang's entire leg, and Qi'er next to her had even been sucked into her chest. Her face was now flushed red from holding it in, and her pair of dragon wings kept flapping. It was obvious that she was trying very hard to resist the suction.
"Qi'er," Yu Cang said, "Try to let go of your resistance and let that suction force suck away everything inside you."
"Eh?" Qi'er was stunned. She turned to look at Yu Cang and blinked her big eyes.
Seeing that Yu Cang was not joking, Qi'er nodded vigorously, his eyes becoming serious: "Okay, Qi'er will do it right away!"
Immediately, the girl gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and simply ignored these disgusting flesh walls, completely letting go of her resistance to the suction!
Qi'er believes in his brother!
Originally, the flesh wall had been sucking Qi'er's blood all the time. Now that Qi'er had let go of his resistance, the flesh wall immediately sucked in a large amount of blood.
Jie Ting's head on the wall felt that Qi'er had given up resistance, and he showed a strange smile, obviously very happy.
In this kind of wrestling confrontation, once you lose once, it will be difficult to fight again!
The outcome is decided!
However, before Jie could be happy for long, his expression suddenly changed.
Wait, what is that!
What is this thing that is being sucked in?
This is not dragon blood!
Moreover, this familiar feeling of chaos and disorder, this fear branded deep in my blood...
Absolutely right! Even though more than three thousand years had passed, it couldn't possibly remember it wrongly. This was the natural enemy of all life—Huang!
Oh my god, what did I suck?
Bah bah bah!!
Qi'er, who was ready to die, suddenly felt that the annoying suction force disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by... a completely opposite force, as if it really wanted to spit him out?
Even the blood that had been sucked away was hurriedly sent back at this moment, wanting to be stuffed back into Qi'er's body.
The girl was stunned.
What does it mean…come and refuse to stay?
But Qi'er reacted quickly and she understood.
You are worthy of being my brother!
Although I don’t know what happened, it is obvious that after listening to his brother’s words, these disgusting things were defeated by Qi’er in an instant!
The girl is not stupid. The more these flesh walls want to do something, the more she will not follow their wishes.
Immediately, Qier pinched his nose with his hands, held his breath, and then dived into the flesh wall!
Hey hey hey, here I come!
Those bloodlines want to come back? No way!
The girl was able to resist the suction just now, so now she can naturally resist the opposite force.
Just take it if I give it to you. Why be so polite?
No? You can't refuse.
There are plenty of these chess pieces here! Take them!
Oh, look, why is it like this... Then I might as well give you more.
Feeling that the girl not only refused but also tried to force it into her flesh, Jie Ting's expression on the wall became more and more distorted.
Don't come over here!
As we all know, when in a hurry, people cannot hold back and release at the same time.
Therefore, when Jie Ting was busy sending Qi'er away, he was unable to maintain his attraction to Cang at the same time.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and Yu Cang suddenly felt a strong push on his back. Then, his whole body was spit out from the flesh wall, and then he sat down on the ground.
Yu Cang quickly looked down.
Well... the feet are still there.
As expected, I am a conscious being here. A conscious being can only disappear, not be incomplete… Although I don’t know why a conscious being is still wearing clothes, it doesn’t matter.
Turning his head, Yu Cang scratched his head as he looked at Qi'er swimming freestyle in the flesh wall.
Well... although it's a bit weird, it seems that this is the only way now.
…
The other side.
puff.
Gu Jieshuang fell from the flesh wall again, landed on the ground on her back, and felt sore all over.
Still no... She had no strength.
tread.
A figure stopped above her head and Gu Jieshuang looked over.
...It's over, Yaoqi is back.
"It seems you still have some spirit." Yaoqi said calmly, "Miscellaneous, there is no need to struggle. Possessing our bloodline, returning to our ancestors and king is your due."
“Hehe…” Gu Jieshuang smiled weakly, “Bloodline? My ancestor is Gu Qianshan, not some spiritual beast that appeared out of nowhere.”
"You are trying to deny even your own bloodline. How ignorant." Yao Qi's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand, and Gu Jieshuang flew up automatically. He held his head in his hand.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Just now, a mortal who called himself Yu Cang used some means to get here. Unfortunately, he should have disappeared in the sea of blood by now."
Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang's eyes suddenly widened.
"Boss..." Gu Jieshuang gritted her teeth. Not knowing where she got the strength from, she raised her fist and punched the middle-aged man's arm again and again, "Let me go..."
Unfortunately, it didn't work at all.
Yao Qi's expression shifted slightly. "Oh? Looks like he really is here to save you... Haha, a being stained with mortal blood is truly foolish. Has he even lost the ability to judge basic combat power... Well, what a waste of words."
He walked forward and pressed Gu Jieshuang's head into the flesh wall, "Return to your ancestors, bastard."
The flesh walls automatically covered themselves and kept surging, and in an instant they were about to completely swallow Gu Jieshuang.
suddenly.
Boo~
With a crisp sound, the flesh wall in front of him suddenly bulged, directly ejecting Gu Jieshuang, who had most of his body inside. With a "swish", he flew past Yaoqi and fell headfirst to the ground.
Yaoqi was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Immediately, he seemed to sense something and his expression suddenly changed.
I am Zhuo, Huang!
Gu Jieshuang rolled on the ground several times before she finally stopped, and her vision was a little dizzy.
What is this for.
…
On the other side, Qi'er was having a great time playing.
Seeing that there was no way to spit the girl out directly, Jie Ting directly manipulated the flesh wall to transform into several giant hands, trying to grab Qi'er directly.
But the girl relied on her monstrous physical fitness in the Dragon Girl state and started to perform fancy swimming in the flesh wall, performing all kinds of difficult moves with her hands. Jie was very upset when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do.
It simply said, "Asshole, what do you want me to do to get out? Get out now!"
On the other hand, Yu Cang had some free time.
"Crying Girl, have you confirmed Gu Jieshuang's location?"
The weeping girl said, "Well... the mistress's emotions are getting closer..."
Yu Cang was stunned: "Come closer?"
Before he could react, he saw Yaoqi's figure reappear at the cave entrance. Behind him, Gu Jieshuang's body was bound in the air by an invisible force, moving with Yaoqi's figure.
When Yaoqi saw the dragon girl Qier, his already ugly face became even gloomier in an instant.
No, how could you be Huang’s mixed-race?
Could something as outrageous as Huang be a hybrid?
Are you kidding me?
He could no longer remain calm.
Desolation is no small matter. Even though Qi'er may not have much blood in his body, if left unchecked, it will definitely pollute this place!
Damn it, you have dragon wings, dragon horns, dragon claws and dragon tail, why aren’t you a dragonborn?
Aren’t you just cheating?
But at this time, he couldn't afford to think too much.
Raising his hand, enormous power surged out from Yaoqi's body, instantly capturing Yu Cang, Qier, and the blood of Qier that fell outside, and then - soared into the sky!
Yu Cang only felt his eyes blurred, and the surrounding scenery dropped rapidly. They seemed to be rising and rising along this endless passage until a certain moment -
Wow!
A splash of blood appeared, and several people stopped in the air.
Yu Cang shook his head, trying to suppress the dizziness caused by the rapid movement, and looked around.
here it is……
Everywhere you look, there is blood.
Overhead, a huge celestial body stained with blood almost occupied the entire sky within the field of vision. Underfoot, blood surged and gathered into an ocean, which occasionally set off huge waves!
Countless strange roars came from the sea of blood under their feet and rushed into their ears. Each one was enough to make people feel uneasy.
“Hehehe…” In the sky, Yaoqi’s expression was no longer calm. He took a deep breath and revealed an evil smile on his face. “Shocked? Mortal Blood—Welcome to my Bloodline Empire!”
Yu Cang frowned slightly, but since Yaoqi was finally willing to talk to him, he naturally would not give up this good opportunity to buy time.
"Bloodline Empire? Is this some kind of alien dimension..."
"Oh, you're ignorant." Yaoqi opened his arms, his expression full of satisfaction. "This isn't some low-level place like some other dimension—my territory flows in the blood of all living beings!"
Yu Cang's heart was slightly shocked.
...I didn't understand it, but it sounded very high-end.
He nodded, looking deeply shocked, and then quickly said, "Well... Respected Emperor, since this is an empire, I imagine you must be short of manpower. Why not let me join? To be honest, I have some status outside and can definitely help you accomplish the great cause of the empire!"
Yaoqi listened quietly to what Yu Cang said, then grinned and revealed a very sunny smile.
"It's a good idea, but unfortunately..." Yaoqi kept smiling, "Mortal blood doesn't fall under the definition of 'living beings'..."
Yao Qi looked at Yu Cang's eyes, expecting to see a look of loss or despair, but Yu Cang just rubbed his hands:
"Then what's the way to become a half-blood? To be honest, I've wanted to be a half-blood for quite a while! Seriously, believe me!"
Yaoqi's smile faded slightly.
...How shameless he is.
never mind.
He is a bit boring.
So he raised his hand, and Gu Jieshuang flew to his side bound. Yaoqi hooked his finger, and an ice flower suddenly formed between Gu Jieshuang's eyebrows. Then, a drop of blood crushed the ice flower and flew out.
Yu Cang's expression changed: "Wait, what are you going to do?"
"You are here to save her, right?" Yao Qi smiled slightly and waved his hand casually. Gu Jieshuang flew straight out and hit Yu Cang.
Yu Cang caught it, and the two of them flew out together and fell on a blood-red cloud.
Qi'er quickly flapped his wings and flew over, standing in front of the two of them.
Yu Cang hugged Gu Jieshuang tightly. After landing, he hurriedly stood up: "Jieshuang, how are you?"
"I..." Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment, and her originally weak face suddenly became much more energetic. "Huh? I have strength again?"
Yu Cang raised his brows: "What do you mean?"
"After I met that Yaoqi, he just waved his hand, and my body immediately lost all its strength. The spell cards I could use were no longer usable. At the time, he said something like: 'The bastards are born to be driven by the king...'"
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"
“No more…”
"Haha." Yao Qi sneered, "You've lost your true blood, and you're still feeling complacent?"
Mixed-bloods are naturally gifted in various areas, and those with true blood are the best of the best, their talent practically overwhelming. However, this has its pros and cons. As the king of the Bloodline Empire, Yaoqi's dominance over the true blood is also absolute.
But in Yaoqi's eyes, there is a huge difference in status between having real blood and not having real blood.
Well, although there isn't much difference between nutrients and sacrifices.
Yao Qi said coldly: "I am in a good mood today. In this case, I will make an exception and let your ancestor personally put an end to you."
After saying that, Yaoqi snapped his fingers, and the drop of true blood flew into the sky and rushed into the planet that occupied the entire sky.
Then—
A desolate bird cry resounded through the sky, and then a beam of ice-blue light shot out from a corner of the celestial body and slowly circled down.
Yaoqi smiled. He flew up gently, stretched out a hand, and said loudly, "I'm glad that we can meet again before my bloodline fades. Embrace the frost and envelop the wings of the cold sky!"
The ice-blue light turned into ice chips and shattered in the sky. A giant ice-blue bird slowly appeared. Each of its wings was like the purest ice edge. Above its head, two streams of water light extended out, gradually froze, and turned into countless light ice chips at the end.
This giant bird is extremely large in size, with a pair of vast wings, yet it exudes a sense of lightness.
In response to Yaoqi's call, Frost Wings slowly opened its crystal eyes.
Its gaze fell on Yaoqi, and after a moment of silence, it uttered human words:
"……Who are you?"
There was a hint of distant doubt in Frost Wing's eyes, and his voice was very pleasant, it was actually a female voice.
Yaoqi: ...
Yu Cang: "Puff."
Sorry, but he really couldn't hold it back.
Originally, when he saw such a huge bird falling from the sky, he was actually very desperate.
Judging from its power, the Frost Wings are definitely much stronger than the Glow-Feathered Bird in Yujiang!
It’s hard to defeat Yaoqi alone, and now with the addition of a Frost Wing, how can we defeat him?
But now it seems... you two aren't familiar with each other. Then why did you shout "see you again" just now, as if you were meeting again after a long time?
Yaoqi took a deep breath, calmed his expression, and spoke again, "Yongshuang, I am the current Demon King. I have specially summoned you from the ancient vastness."
Frostwing frowned, as if trying to recall something. After a moment, it said, "What is a demon king?"
Yaoqi: “…”
He suddenly felt very tired.
He was still silent when Frostwing spoke up, "Before I died in battle, I had never heard of the Demon King's name... If you want to play house like that, find someone else."
It turned its head and glanced at Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang, and the sea of blood in the distance, and its brows furrowed even deeper.
"Are you using humans as sacrifices?" Frostwing's gaze fell back on Yaoqi, now much colder. "I see. Disgusting ignorance."
