Chapter 55 Chapter 55 "Xiao Run, you smell so good."...
Thousands of years ago, Chi Shuangliu was deceived by the Chi clan once, and he paid the most painful price since his birth.
A thousand years later, he fell into the hands of another Chi clan.
He had never felt such strong hatred before. This hatred was even stronger than when he was deceived and eaten by the ancestors of the Chi clan. It was truly heart-wrenching, and every cell in his body felt the pain and hatred.
The root of my nose felt sore and swollen, and my eye sockets were uncontrollably hot, as if some liquid was about to flow out of my eyes.
The feeling was so strange that he didn't even realize he was crying.
His face turned pale, and he staggered to half-kneel on the ground, covering his heart with one hand, feeling his strength draining away at an extremely fast rate.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were full of malice, and his pupils turned into those of a beast.
Shen Run tried to attack him, and the restriction of not attacking humans was broken. He could kill her at any time.
A tentacle stretched out from space and silently reached the back of her head. If it moved slightly forward, the tentacle could penetrate her skull, suck out her brain marrow, and take her life.
He should have killed her. He had every reason to kill this traitorous human being.
The front end of the tentacle is covered with sharp teeth, and the transparent mucus on the teeth drags to the ground, corroding several holes in the ground. The front end of the tentacle is like a carnivorous plant, opening and closing, ready to wrap around Shen Run's head and digest it at any time.
After a few brief seconds, Chi Shuangliu closed his eyes and hissed, "Come here."
It all happened so fast that Shen Run didn't even come to his senses.
Grandma mentioned the amulet left for her in her diary. She also briefly explained the effect of the amulet, which was similar to the invisibility amulet limited to Chi Shuangliu, and could temporarily block all her breath and fluctuations, ensuring that she could temporarily escape from Chi Shuangliu's hands. But she really didn't expect that after the amulet was crushed, Chi Shuangliu looked like he was about to die - she didn't want to kill Chi Shuangliu at this moment!
No, no, something must have gone wrong.
Chi Shuangliu now looked extremely scary. He seemed to be completely unable to maintain his human form. His appearance was even scarier than before. His body was covered with tiny cracks, each of which was filled with densely packed eyes. A long and deep crack appeared on his back, and several tentacles scrambled out.
It was the so-called indescribable and unbearable to look at. It was the first time that Chen Run saw his true form with her own eyes. After just one look, she couldn't help but groan. Her eyes were dry and painful, as if a fork was inserted into her head and stirring constantly.
Chi Shuangliu called her over.
Her body was nailed to the spot by extreme fear, and she tried hard to fight against the curse that was slowly taking shape in her body.
Chi Shuangliu's serious injury bought her some time. She regained some control of her body. Like a disabled person, she moved her feet with difficulty and slowly retreated, instinctively wanting to escape from the monster with dancing tentacles.
Every eyeball of Chi Shuangliu felt an indescribable sourness, and with a "click", a few drops of transparent liquid secreted from the eyeballs fell to the ground.
From the moment she invited him to meet her at the town temple, Chi Shuangliu knew that he would see her expression of fear and disgust. He thought he was mentally prepared, but in fact, when she actually showed that expression, his reaction was greater than he imagined.
The crack in his body spread from the back to the chest, and a black hole-like crack appeared in his upper body. He looked at Chen Run sinisterly, and one tentacle wrapped around her waist, and without thinking, he stuffed her into the crack in his body.
Chen Run struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of the tentacles wrapped around his waist.
As the black hole was getting closer and closer to his body, the space behind him suddenly fluctuated, and in an instant a hole about one foot long was torn open. An arm stretched out from the crack in the space and grabbed Chen Run's arm.
Through the crack in space, a gentle and elegant face could be vaguely seen - it was Chen Wen's face.
A huge force directly pulled Chen Run into the space rift. While Chi Shuangliu was seriously injured and had no time to react, the space rift closed instantly.
The originally noisy town temple suddenly became quiet.
After a brief moment of shock, veins popped up on Chi Shuangliu's forehead: "It's him!"
After saying this, he could no longer maintain his human form. He lay on the statue and gasped in pain. Countless eyes and tentacles emerged from his body and soon filled the temple.
......
Chen Run was held tightly by an arm. She jumped in space for a while, then ran on her two legs for a while. After twists and turns, she was finally brought to a semi-abandoned village by Chen Wen.
Chen Wen walked back and forth along the country road and finally found a low bungalow. He took out the key that looked very old and opened the door. He looked at her with some concern: "Go in and rest first."
The appearance of the bungalow is that of a rural mud-brick house from the 1970s and 1980s. There is almost no furniture inside, just a table, a chair and a bed. You can see that they were made by hand by village craftsmen. The separated kitchen only has a stove made of mud tiles. The house is covered with a thick layer of dust. The conditions are really shabby. Few young people of this generation have lived in such a house.
Chen Wen fumbled around in the room for a while before finally finding the light cord. He pulled it open with a snap, and the tungsten filament bulb lit up slowly, the faint light flickering.
Chen Run didn't want to be picky. She held her knees and took a breath. After catching her breath, she asked Chen Wen, "Where is this?"
Chen Wen did not answer directly, but just smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, it's safe for now."
Chen Run didn't bother to ask other questions for the time being. He unzipped his pants a little and looked down at the curse mark under his collarbone. The black eye was still not fully formed and was still closed, but the color was much darker than before. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before it was fully formed.
Chen Wen's gaze fell on the curse mark, and his expression changed slightly: "He planted it for you?"
Chen Run was researching ways to get rid of the curse and just hummed casually.
Chen Wen's expression was a little strange. After a while, he whispered, "The unformed curse should have a certain distance limit. Hmm... He shouldn't be able to sense you now."
It didn't seem like he was talking to Shen Run, but more like he was talking to himself.
Chen Run wanted to ask him something. She raised her head and was about to speak when she heard a slight "crackling" sound and the tungsten filament light bulb went out.
It was already dusk. In Japanese, the period from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. has another name, called Omatoki, which means that the boundary between day and night is blurred at this moment, and it is the time when demons are dancing wildly.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the old iron-barred window, pulling the shadows of the two people into a distorted state.
Chen Run had been standing by the door, and he came up behind her without her knowing when. He was almost pressed against her, and he leaned over to sniff her neck, his voice intoxicating.
"Xiao Run, you smell so good."
He couldn't help but lick his lips with the tip of his tongue, vaguely visible his sharp teeth and the bright red inner wall of his mouth.
The next second, Chen Run disappeared - supernatural power, invisibility.
Shen Wen was slightly stunned and hesitated for a moment.
He was about to attack, but Shen Run didn't give him a chance to react.
A sharp blade formed by electro-optical polymerization pierced directly through his chest!
Blood quickly seeped out from his chest. Without any pause, Chen Run once again activated his unique skill - supernatural plundering.
......
This time when he came to Chicheng, Chi Shuangliu did not bring Lu Kuo, but brought Cao Xun instead - compared to the overly shrewd Lu Kuo, a fanatic like Cao Xun was obviously more loyal and reliable.
When Cao Xun arrived at the temple, he saw Chi Shuangliu, who was no longer in human form. He looked very bad. The temple was full of tentacles, surrounding a pale and stunning face.
It was obvious that he was seriously injured. Cao Xun's heart skipped a beat. Without asking what had happened, he hurriedly said, "Master, could you please shrink a little first? I'll drive you away from here to a safe place!"
The face finally showed some reaction. He lifted his eyelids and took a look. The constantly wriggling tentacles slowly gathered and shrank, and were finally compressed into a humanoid monster more than two meters tall - the face in the middle was still Chi Shuangliu's.
Fortunately, the private car he drove this time was spacious enough. Cao Xun hurriedly helped him into the car and then humbly asked, "What happened to you? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Chi Shuangliu's face still looked extremely bad, and he closed his eyes and said nothing.
The tentacles kept rolling and squirming. He tried to repair his body, but failed. Instead, it consumed his remaining strength. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to remain in this monstrous state for a long time.
Logically speaking, this form was his most comfortable state, but at this moment, he actually felt anxious and indescribably irritated about it.
There is a very important reason why Cao Xun has always been unable to defeat Lu Kuo for so many years - he can't control his mouth.
He couldn't help but glance at Chi Shuangliu through the rearview mirror. As if remembering something, he suddenly looked incredulous: "Could it be that Chen Run injured you like this?"
If he remembered correctly, Chi Shuangliu had rushed to the Witch Temple specifically to see Chen Run.
Chi Shuangliu finally reacted and instinctively denied: "...Not entirely."
He paused and said coldly, "It's Chi clan."
Cao Xun had researched the legends of the Chi clan in detail and was considered one of the people in the world who knew the most about Chi Shuangliu's past. He thought for a moment and quickly realized who the Chi clan he was talking about was. He was shocked and said, "Is it the ancestor of the Chi clan?"
His face was filled with disbelief: "Thousands of years have passed, and he's still alive?"
Chi Shuangliu closed his eyes and thought for a while, then finally uttered two words: "parasitism."
Cao Xun didn't understand what he meant, and Chi Shuangliu didn't have the patience to explain. His long eyelashes drooped, his eyes were gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Cao Xun was extremely curious about these thousand-year-old monsters; otherwise, he wouldn't have become such a fanatical follower of Chi Shuangliu. He was quiet for a moment, then couldn't help but start chattering again: "Master, you've dealt with the Chi family before. Do you know what kind of people they are?"
Chi Shuangliu's expression fluctuated for a moment, and he actually answered his question: "He was born into a large matriarchal clan in the north, the Chi clan..."
He answered as he recalled, his voice seemingly carried across millennia. "Legend has it that the Chi clan is the offspring of ancient gods and humans, hence their exceptional stature and valor. His mother, the current leader of the Chi clan, was an exceptional woman. She championed fairness, kindness, and righteousness, and advocated for mutual benefit and win-win cooperation among all tribes. Her rule was gentle yet powerful, and she quickly united all the northern tribes. Everyone believed she would lead them to defeat the barbarians in the south and ultimately unify the Nine Provinces, which... is what you now call China."
"There's just one thing: she has no children. She has a husband and many concubines, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant."
"In that era, the average human lifespan was very short. Thirty or forty was considered a long lifespan. When she was almost twenty-seven or twenty-eight, she gave birth to Chishi. Chishi was beautiful, intelligent, brave and skilled in battle, surpassing his father. However, he had a fatal flaw - he was a man, and men had no inheritance rights. The only thing a man could do was take care of the women and children in the family."
"Fortunately, his mother was open-minded enough, and Chi Shi was also very capable. They finally persuaded the elders of the tribe to gradually delegate power to him. He gradually grew stronger, but when his mother was forty-three years old, something unexpected happened. She became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to a girl, who was just as smart and powerful as him."
Cao Xun hissed softly.
"Opposition voices arose within the tribe, and his mother began to waver. Chi Shi acted respectfully and humbly. To avoid embarrassing his mother, he offered to make his sister the heir and willingly assist her."
"His mother believed him and lowered her guard against him. He helped take care of all the affairs of the tribe outside and took care of his mother and sister inside. Everyone in the tribe trusted him very much."
"But just as his mother was about to turn fifty, he allied with the wildlings of the south, launched a war, and personally chopped off the heads of his elderly mother and his sister, who was about to reach adulthood."
"He helped the Southern King invade the northern territories and humbly expressed his willingness to submit and help the Southern King continue his conquests. At first, the Southern King was very wary of him, but as he gradually displayed his talents, the Southern King relied on and trusted him immensely, even killing his own brother for him."
"Three years later, Chi Shi poisoned the Southern King and finally achieved his goal of becoming the master of this continent. He continued to wage wars, slaughtering one tribe after another to ensure the absolute concentration of power."
Chi Shuangliu sneered, his expression ironic: "He is naturally very good at deceiving people. As long as he wants, he can easily gain anyone's trust and can also disguise himself as anyone."
Cao Xun was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Chi Shuangliu: "Then you and him..."
"Chi Shi has divine blood, but he is not a true god after all. Even though he has inherited a certain amount of divine power and sorcery, he can only live a hundred or two hundred years longer than an ordinary person. As he grows older, he inevitably begins to fear aging and death."
"Especially after gaining supreme power, he could no longer bear the passing of his life. He wanted to become a true god, so he searched through stone tablets and scrolls and finally found me."
"I said before, he's very good at deception and disguise. He always knows exactly what others want, so he traded his freedom for my blessing."
"The blessing was very costly for me, and I fell into a deep sleep. More than ten years later, when I woke up, I didn't find freedom, but betrayal and slaughter by the Chi clan."
Chi Shuangliu looked contemptuous. "He thought he could become a true god by consuming me, but the power of a high-dimensional god is not something a mere three-dimensional creature can withstand. He planted a hidden danger when he shared me with me. He tried every trick in the book, but it was all in vain. Years later, he died in despair and pain. In order to prolong his life, he constantly performed human sacrifices and used living people to make medicine. He had already sown the seeds of hatred. After his death, the flames of war once again enveloped the entire land."
After hearing this thrilling story, Cao Xun felt his mouth dry. "...What a terrifying mission." He paused before asking, "What's his name?"
"As a man, he didn't have a name. Later, his mother gave him a name so that he could inherit the position of leader smoothly..." He paused: "Chi Nu."
Cao Xun frowned. "Such a troublesome old monster suddenly coming back to life will probably cause you a lot of trouble, right?"
Chi Shuangliu fell silent, with most of his face cast in irrelevant shadows and a gloomy expression.
Compared to the resurrection of his mortal enemy, what he cared more about was the alliance between Chen Run and Chi Nu.
He had been betrayed by a Chi clan member before, and a thousand years later, he was betrayed by another Chi clan member again.
The person who claimed to love him ruthlessly crushed his heart.
