Meeting in the Void Realm, the truth of the prophecy
Qin Ruqing returned to the camp and told her third sister what she had heard tonight.
Lu Wei had waited all night, and only when she saw them return did she feel relieved. At this moment, she calmly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and spoke softly: "Blessing from the Beast God? It doesn't sound like a good thing for the human race."
"It's a blessing for the beasts, but it's certainly not a good thing for the human race." Qin Dexin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, without hiding the mockery on her face.
As if he remembered something, he turned to look at Qin Ruqing, and said with a little disapproval:
"Why did you go to the wall so quietly? There are so many big monsters lying there. What if you are discovered? Even if you have thousands of skills, two fists can't beat four hands."
He turned to look at Tang Zifeng again, "Xiao Tang, you too, you have always been calm, why don't you know how to persuade her at this time, and go with her? Is that a joke?"
These words already have a hint of accusation, and tonight's actions are indeed a bit careless. Tang Zifeng didn't refute after listening, but just hummed and admitted his mistakes: "Zifeng was reckless, and I will definitely be more careful in the future."
He took all the blame on himself, and didn't mention Qin Ruqing at all.
Qin Dexin was about to show a satisfied look when Qirong interrupted her, "Mom, Brother Tang always listens to me in everything. It's useless for you to say that. They will still do what they want in the end."
Qin Dexin glared and laughed angrily, "'They will still do what they want in the end', that's how you treat your mother, right!"
Qirong saw that the fire was burning on him, and his head shrank.
"Okay, Third Aunt, I went to investigate the fortress today. Although it was bold, I was still a little confident... Fortunately, I did find some useful information, didn't I?" Qin Ruqing interrupted in time and saved Qirong.
In order to divert the attention of the Third Aunt, she brought up a new topic, "The Beast God's blessing can be extended to the lower demon tribes. Combined with the abnormal Jindan-stage insect-beasts we saw today, we can almost figure out what the beast tribe is doing this time."
Qin Dexin's attention was indeed diverted. Compared with training her son, the current matter was naturally the most important.
"The advantage of the insect-like demon tribe lies in their number and reproductive ability. They live in groups. Logically, the Jindan-stage insect-beasts can already be the leader of a small group. But that day, more than a dozen of them suddenly appeared in the forest at once. It is indeed unreasonable." She pondered.
"Could it be that this so-called blessing is to enhance the strength of low-level monsters? Wouldn't it be better to use this time and ability to enhance higher-level monsters?"
"Even if low-level monsters can be forcibly enhanced in strength by external forces, the degree of enhancement is limited. It is still not good enough in terms of the overall level. In the beast tide, they are just consumables. What are they trying to achieve by going to such great lengths?"
Qin Dexin asked questions one by one, and indeed pointed out the most bizarre part of the matter—what do the beasts want?
Lu Wei pondered and added a piece of information: "The low-level beasts are roughly equivalent to those of us humans who are less talented in cultivation. According to the theory of alchemy, the worse the innate conditions are, the more difficult it is to improve them later. The cost for the beasts to improve the strength and talent of these low-level beasts is at least several times that of ordinary beasts."
The more in-depth the analysis, the more you can feel the unreasonableness of the beasts' actions.
But the beasts are not fools. They must have their reasons for doing this.
"To find the reason, we must start from their most fundamental purpose." Qin Ruqing smiled and said. As early as on the way back, she had already analyzed it in her mind.
"Think about it, what is the purpose of the beasts?"
She asked, but no one answered for a while.
The subject of the beast tribe is too broad. If you ask about the purpose of the entire beast tribe, it is indeed difficult to answer.
Qin Ruqing reacted and changed the question to a more clear one: "Then let me put it another way. What do you think is the reason why the beast tribe attacked us and frequently gathered beast tides?"
This question is much easier to answer.
Qirong followed his Qin Aotian thinking and said without hesitation: "It must be to defeat the human race and seize territory!"
This answer is a bit too simple and rough. Qin Dexin was about to comment, "Son, you think too one-sidedly," when he heard a clear "Yes!"
The word "yes" was uttered by Qin Ruqing. She looked at Qirong with an encouraging smile, as if she didn't think Qirong's speculation was rash at all, and nodded as she said:
"Just as Qirong said, the essence of the problem is - they want to win the battle."
"Following this, they created this blessing because they think that improving the strength of low-level beasts is easier to win the battle and easier to help them achieve the final victory than improving the strength of high-level beasts."
The question seemed to have an answer after careful consideration.
But this answer was even more incredible.
Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Ruqing sighed: "If you don't believe it, just watch from now on."
The Beast God is about to launch a new round of blessings, which is a major intelligence. The Qin family has obtained this intelligence, so there is no reason to hide it. It is right to speak it out and discuss it together to solve the problem.
The Family Order virtual space, which has been silent for a long time, is finally full of people again.
The last time the fierce sixth domain search plan failed completely, it made this group of people silent for a long time. In addition, the wars were frequent and tense, and they only used the Family Order to convey important messages to each other. If it is said that it is a waste of energy to meet in the virtual world to discuss matters, then there is no such thing.
There is no need, and there is no mood.
This meeting was still convened by Qin Ruqing.
Obviously, the token in her hand only has the authority of an elder, so it stands to reason that not many people would pay attention to it, but her identity is special.
Since her first appearance in the virtual world, after returning, these high-ranking families have all made special marks on Qin Ruqing's family token to ensure that they can receive her messages as soon as possible.
This time, Qin Ruqing sent two messages.
The first one: "I have something important to discuss in the virtual world."
No one paid attention to her.
Qin Ruqing thought, hey, you guys are pretending to be dead, okay, I'll give you a big scare.
She sent another message: "It's about the resurrection of the beast god. If no one pays attention to it again, I will let it go!" When
the high-ranking families saw such debt collection messages, their brows were tightly knitted.
There was an elder with a bad temper who didn't hesitate to waste the energy of the family order and replied to her in it: "What are you doing, you evil star? You are even resurrecting the beast god, and you can't even make it up!"
Call me a demon star? You guys stop pretending!
Qin Ruqing has always been outrageous. He used the family order to chat with the elder. "How can I be a joker? If you don't believe me, forget it. Anyway, I will only say it once."
"I will wait in front of the family order until 3 p.m. If no one pays attention to this matter, I will leave!"
"How can I be a joker?" - You must be, you look like you are lying.
The elder almost couldn't help but reply so. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that Qin Ruqing had never fooled others in major matters, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
It is said that the beast god is resurrected - that girl must have mixed it with the sea, but even if it is only slightly related to the beast god, it is not a small matter.
Thus, before Qin Ruqing even waited until 3 p.m., all the people arrived in full force. Some of them seemed to have just run down from the battlefield, still wearing armor.
The elder who had a "friendly chat" with Qin Ruqing at the beginning asked first: "Sixth Elder, didn't you say before that the Beast God was resurrected? Tell us about it, so that we can all discuss countermeasures!" He was sure that Qin Ruqing was talking nonsense, and as long as Qin Ruqing said something a little untrue, he would open his mouth and ridicule.
Qin Ruqing had been joking before, but when he really arrived in the virtual world, he became serious instead, and did not keep the secret, and told the news he had heard that day.
After he finished speaking, the virtual world fell into a long silence, and those who wanted to watch the show were distracted by such a serious topic.
"The Beast God has blessed us, and a new round of selection is about to begin. The scope has also been expanded to include low-level beast tribes? Sixth Elder, are you serious?"
The elder was also shocked by the news at the beginning, but he couldn't help but sneer: "What you said before was not the resurrection of the Beast King, which is quite different from this blessing. Didn't the Sixth Elder say that you don't joke?"
Could Qin Ruqing be fooled by this? She has talked more nonsense than she has eaten salt.
With a slight smile, she said, "How can you bless them if they are not resurrected? Who knows, maybe they have really thought of a way to resurrect their Beast God? Can this mean that I am talking nonsense? Elder, you are too optimistic."
The elder was softly pushed like this, and he was speechless. Yes, how can you bless them if they are not resurrected? If it wasn't the so-called Beast God, then who could have brought this blessing?
Qin Ruqing looked around at the people in the Void Realm who were looking suspicious, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light, and she spoke more strongly: "Everyone, at this juncture, let's not argue about something as boring and time-wasting as true or false, right?"
It was obvious that she couldn't fool people with false news at the critical moment of the Beast Tide.
Song Minzheng, the head of the Song clan who was in the same group with her, immediately agreed and said seriously: "There are two key points to clarify now. First, is this blessing done by the real Beast God, or is it done in the name of the Beast God? Second, why do they bless the low-level beast tribes? With such a magic, wouldn't it be better to bless the big monsters directly?"
"It's basically impossible that it's the real Beast God." Feng Qinxue spoke, and when everyone looked at her, her clearly outlined lips curled up. "If they really have this ability, why wait until now to launch a beast tide? If they really launched it, they wouldn't attack slowly and itchyly like they are now. Wouldn't it be better to take down the human world with thunder?"
"It should be some ancient forbidden technique. Didn't the beast tribe also have a beast entering the beast marsh during the return to the ruins? Maybe it was the lingering soul of the ancient beast king that taught him some magical power?" Diwu Sheng also expressed his opinion.
Needless to say, his guess was the most reliable so far, and everyone echoed it.
After getting the recognition, Diwu Sheng was very satisfied, and continued his analysis, "As for that low-level beast tribe, it might be a cover released by the beast world. We don't know whether this news is true or false..." He suddenly remembered something as if he was awakened, paused and looked at Qin Ruqing, "I'm not saying that the Sixth Elder is lying, but that the beast tribe deliberately released false news."
"What the Fifth Patriarch said makes sense." Qin Ruqing smiled, "But I have another discovery. When I went out for patrol that day, in addition to hearing this news, I also found a group of Jindan stage insects and beasts traveling together."
"Jindan stage traveling together, or insects and beasts?" Feng Qinxue hummed in confusion, and immediately asserted, "This doesn't make sense."
Everyone present could see that this was unreasonable.
Whether it is the human race or the beast race, the Jindan stage is already the real middle level. In a territory, it is enough to be a small king, not to mention being a big king.
"This is a group of insects that can be leaders, and they are here for a spring outing together~" Song San teased. "A
leader who is born naturally cannot go on a spring outing together," Qin Ruqing smiled lightly, "but if it is acquired, when the insects are weak, they are already a group, then it is quite possible to go on a spring outing together."
Get used to it.
Qin Ruqing's meaning is already very clear - she is saying that the group of insects and beasts are beasts that have been blessed by the beast god for a round, so that they can rarely raise their strength to the Jindan stage.
The Sword Clan's Tianjian elder also confirmed: "Indeed, I have also been wondering during this period. The strength of the low-level beasts is much stronger than the beasts we encountered in the previous beast tides. At the beginning, we were unable to cope with it, and many ordinary disciples died. Now, after listening to the words of the Sixth Elder, I have an idea in my mind. Among that group of low-level beasts, there must be some who have experienced the blessing of the Beast God."
The Sword Clan is stationed in the North Territory, next to the largest piece of primitive dense forest. There were originally many monsters and beasts in that area, and the climate was bitter and cold. Once a beast tide broke out, the first to suffer would definitely be the North Territory. The Sword Clan elder's words were very convincing.
Everyone realized that this was indeed a big problem.
To be more precise, if it is not stopped in time, it will develop into a huge disaster!
——It is so big that it can destroy the human race!!
This is an arithmetic problem.
The upper layer is being held back, the middle layer is being held back, and the lower layers are fighting each other.
The beastmen are naturally better than humans in terms of physical condition, and if their strength is further improved... the beastmen don't even need to use any sophisticated tactics, they can just drag the human race to death!
Pulling out the truth behind the bones, the people in the virtual realm are almost scared to break out in a cold sweat.
"Is this the real reason why the human race will be destroyed as predicted by the Taoist Ancestor? Is this the method used by the beastmen?" An elder with white hair and beard sighed heavily in a hoarse voice.
This sigh was like a huge rock, pressing down on everyone's heart.
In the past, they were worried and afraid of the predictions of the Taoist Ancestor, but they did not feel it was real.
They clearly felt that the human race was not weak. Although the Taoism had disappeared, this generation still produced many amazing young people.
They did not say that it was easy to deal with the beast tide, but they had already made amazing achievements over the years.
Even if they were forced into a corner, they would have the courage to gather thousands of troops and enter the beast world.
But now they know that the beasts used such a soft knife to boil the frog in warm water.
Unconsciously paralyzing you, making you unable to sense the big problem, but when you really notice something is wrong, the situation has already been determined and it is too late.
After reacting, these high-ranking human beings in the virtual realm looked at Qin Ruqing and were immediately filled with gratitude.
"Thanks to the Sixth Elder for reminding us!"
"If it weren't for the Sixth Elder, we don't know how long we would have been deceived!"
"Today is like waking up from a big dream, Sixth Elder, please accept my greetings."
Even the elder who called Qin Ruqing a nickname and whispered to her, bowed to Qin Ruqing guiltily.
"I just don't know how the Sixth Elder found out such important news?" They no longer doubted the truth or falsehood, and only felt it was magical.
"Oh, I just went to the gap in the wall and happened to hear them talking about it. I happened to know a little bit of animal language, so I overheard it~" Qin Ruqing said lightly. He raised his hand and pretended to be great.
Ah? Which normal person would go to the gap in the wall to hang out? Aren't there monsters everywhere?
And "happened to meet" and "happened to know a little bit of animal language", this is the luck of a person with destiny!
But they clearly remember that in the Hundred Races Conference, there were many tests, and Qin Ruqing, who had just emerged, only ranked last in this test!
They strictly recorded it in the little notebook they used to investigate Qin Ruqing!
Qin Ruqing pretended to be indifferent, letting them talk for a while before speaking:
"Now that we have discovered this, we have to mess it up. But there is the beast world in between, and there is no rush. I will go to find out the news and confirm the truth, and then discuss the rules."
Qin Ruqing has decided to go to the wall again.
Who knows what she might hear?
If one time doesn't work, she will try twice. If it really doesn't work, where will she sleep? I just don't believe that the beasts don't talk.
After hearing Qin Ruqing's idea, everyone expressed their agreement.
Feng Qinxue also said: "During this period of time, we will also send humans who understand the beast language to explore the cracks in the wall for information." As for how to explore, it is the Feng family's concern.
During this period, the Fifth Family, for unknown reasons, may have confirmed Qin Ruqing's identity as the descendant of the Taoist ancestor (?), and began to show goodwill belatedly.
The Fifth Family said to Qin Ruqing: "It is dangerous for the Sixth Elder to explore the fortress, and the Fifth Family can't do anything else. However, there is an ancient artifact in the t storage room. Although it is incomplete, it can also be modified by Master Tang. Maybe it can come in handy."
Qin Ruqing almost couldn't help asking, are you lending or giving this ancient incomplete artifact.
But she held back in the end.
She is no longer the little girl who wanted to grab everything in her arms. It's just a incomplete artifact, so it doesn't matter whether it is lent or given. Even if
we take a step back, can't Xiao Tang do it?
She smiled and agreed.
The Fifth Family was quite efficient this time. They used a teleportation array and air transport to deliver the hidden weapon in less than a day.
It was a robe. In the daytime, you could see the color of flowing colors when facing the light, but it was completely transparent at night.
She put the robe on and saw that her lower body was completely covered, as if it was wiped out by thin air.
She was amazed and said, "It's amazing. This robe is really good. The gift from the Fifth Family this time is really impressive."
She knew it was a "gift" when she got it, because the person who sent it emphasized this to her.
Maybe the Fifth Family old man later realized that his words were unclear, so he explained it to the Fifth Family member who sent the illusion robe.
Compared with Qin Ruqing, Tang Zifeng was much calmer. He even looked at the robe in his hands with a bit of disgust (?) and finally came to a conclusion.
"So that's how it is. The main material for forging this shape-shifting robe is the extremely rare wings of an air cicada. The air cicada is a kind of space monster, and it is now extinct. The principle of its shape-shifting is not to cover you, but to lock you in a small space, thus achieving the concealing effect."
Qin Ruqing exclaimed again: "How magical! I see that this shape-shifting robe can completely cover a person, why is it still a damaged weapon?"
"It will leak breath."
Qin Ruqing said, "Then can this be repaired? Will there be a shortage of materials?"
"No." Tang Zifeng's expression was calm, "There are no air cicadas in the world anymore, so it's just right to use them. Peel off the cicada wings on this robe, refine them on the wall of the bell, and combine them with the concealment function of my bell, and it will be perfect."
As a top-level weapon refiner, Tang Zifeng is naturally proud. He was not very willing to repair other people's artifacts, because that was already someone else's creative idea.
If the idea was amazing, his acquired modification would be a kind of destruction. Because he could not have the same thinking as the original owner of the artifact. He had his own ideas.
If the idea was mediocre, Tang Zifeng would be even more reluctant to waste time on such things.
Of course, all the reasons for his annoyance were superficial, and there was a real reason that Tang Zifeng was unwilling to admit.
This illusion robe belonged
to the fifth family. Tang Zifeng hated everything about the fifth family.
He watched Qingqing still playing with the illusion robe in his hand with curiosity, and quietly pulled it out and threw it away.
In less than a day, the empty cicada wings of the illusion robe were taken off by Tang Zifeng with a special method, and then refined into his own natal clock.
That night, the four members of the Nanling Squad took advantage of the perfectly hidden bell and sneaked to the gap in the wall
