Chapter 196: Underground Palace 8 [Update 1]
"After the seal is completely opened, the next step is to create a god?" When Ruan Xi heard this, he felt a long string of "fuck" in his heart. He wished he could fly to Xiaoguai immediately, hide his son, and then beat the hell out of those alien dogs.
His little darling doesn't want to be someone else's god!
"Hmm. This step of creating a god will require Xiaoguai's blood..."
"Fuck! Let's go right away!" When Ruan Xi heard that he was going to be bled, he became furious in an instant. He raised his leg to leave, but He Ziqian beside him put his arm around his waist and pulled him back.
"Xiao Xi, calm down and listen to what Xiao Hei has to say." Xiao Hei's expression clearly indicated that he had more to say. At times like this, He Ziqian was much calmer than Ruan Xi. He forcibly held him in his arms and said to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, please finish what you have to say."
“I won’t release them all at once…”
"Fuck! You're going to drain all of Xiaoguai's blood! I'm going to kill those disgusting aliens!" Ruan Xi was like a bomb now, ready to ignite and explode non-stop. However, He Ziqian's strong arms held her waist helplessly, so she could only flounder around, wanting to rush out but unable to. She was in a state of madness.
This was the most crazy state Ruan Xi had ever been in in his two lifetimes, which showed how much he valued Xiaoguai.
Xiao Hei stopped talking, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Ruan Xi quietly, until he calmed down, and then he expressed the doubts in his heart in the most straightforward tone.
"Why are you so angry? Even if Xiaoguai bleeds all his blood, he won't die. The same goes for us. He will be made into a new god, worshipped by all the alien races, and become their king. This is actually... a good thing, isn't it? If Xiaoguai becomes the new king, won't it be more beneficial to you? With Xiaoguai's strength, he won't stop recognizing you just because he becomes the new king..."
Xiao Hei took it for granted, but Ruan Xi's look gradually made him unable to continue. Finally, he asked in confusion, "Why are you so angry?"
"Xiaoguai is my child. I have the responsibility and obligation to protect him! Just because he won't die if he bleeds out doesn't mean he deserves to be bled out. That doesn't make sense. As a father, we won't accept any form of harm. We will do everything we can to protect him! Now, can you please lead the way for us and take us to find him? We don't want him to be hurt, not even a drop of blood!"
Ruan Xi finally calmed down on his own. Only when he calmed down could he be truly calm. Otherwise, no one could calm the anger in his heart.
"Will it hurt?" Xiao Hei was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked this question, which made Ruan Xi and He Ziqian stunned, and a chill quietly surged in their hearts.
"Can't you feel any pain?"
"We can't feel it now, but it hurt in the beginning... If we could always feel the pain, our companions wouldn't have survived for so long." Xiao Hei's tone was still straightforward, but Ruan Xi's heart trembled when he heard it. He couldn't imagine how these black balls struggled in pain to evolve and became the monsters they are today that can't feel pain.
Yes, for the first time, Ruan Xi felt that the black ball in front of him was a monster, and it was not a derogatory term.
"Can I check your physical condition?" Ruan Xi didn't know what the black ball's body structure was like, because from the initial discovery of the alien parasite until now, he had never had the opportunity to study it carefully.
"How to check? Do I need to cut it open?" Xiao Hei said the most terrifying words in the calmest tone. Ruan Xi's heart trembled again when he heard it, and suddenly he felt a desire to hug the black ball in front of him.
"Of course not. I'm a doctor. As long as the conditions allow, I can treat any race, even trees!"
"Then how do you check? There is black energy on my body, you can't touch me..." Xiao Hei was telling the facts, but the next moment, Xiao Hei was so shocked that the whole black ball froze.
Because he felt a warm hand holding his hand, groping upwards bit by bit, as if searching for something. He subconsciously asked, "What are you looking for? Can't you feel the corrosion of the black energy? My companions can't get too close to me..."
Xiao Hei was deeply confused about this, but Ruan Xi heard a subtle desire in his calm tone.
"Find your pulse!" Ruan Xi couldn't find it at the wrist, so he continued to grope upwards. However, after searching both arms, he still couldn't find the pulse. Ruan Xi was now becoming stubborn and had to find a result.
Finally, Ruan Xi finally felt Xiao Hei's pulse on his back, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and calmly take his pulse.
"Your heartbeat is only about half that of a human, but it's strong and powerful. It's the most fundamental manifestation of your vitality. Can I take some of your blood? I think the black energy emanating from your body is a disease. The cause of this disease is hard to say. I need to analyze the composition of your blood and even your body tissues... But don't misunderstand me. I won't cut you. Taking some body tissue won't cause any substantial harm to you..."
Once he entered the professional field, Ruan Xi had endless things to say. He told Xiao Hei every bit of the information he had obtained from his examination. Looking at his slightly confused yet serious expression, he became more and more excited as he spoke.
If he wasn't still thinking about saving his little darling, this pulse diagnosis would have lasted at least half an hour. However, the reality was that it was over in five minutes.
"You are definitely sick, and it can definitely be cured, but I have to go save my son first. Can you wait until we've done the big thing and then we can focus on the treatment?" There was no other way. As soon as he thought that his little darling might be bleeding from aliens, he became too anxious to treat Xiao Hei. The nagging just now had exhausted his patience.
"Okay, I'll help you save Xiaoguai, and you... help us treat our illnesses, not just me." Xiao Hei is very conscious of being a leader. If there is any treatment, it is a group activity and he will never go it alone.
"Of course, it's a deal!"
He is most interested in difficult and complicated diseases!
After getting Ruan Xi's promise, Xiao Hei, who had always been calm and only angry, actually showed obvious joy, and this joy was also openly reflected in his actual actions.
"I'll take you to find Xiaoguai!"
"good."
At this time, Xiao Hei is just an innocent child who is not very good-looking. If you make him happy, he will make you happy too, and the amount of return will definitely be more than enough.
"Let's go!" Ruan Xi turned around and glanced at He Ziqian beside him. Both of them had the same expression on their faces, nervousness mixed with a bit of excitement. They were both looking forward to the road ahead and doubting it, but these emotions would not affect their pace forward.
Xiao Hei had already rushed out quickly and was about to rush out of the hall in the blink of an eye. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian hurriedly followed, leaving the hall one after the other.
Until they left, none of the black balls who went out to explore the way returned. Seeing that Xiao Hei, the responsible leader, left so neatly and efficiently, it seemed that he asked the black balls to stay where they were or continue to explore the way. Once they arrived at the destination, they would definitely be able to meet up.
There was no straight road from the six outer sacrificial halls to the altar in the center. The twists and turns were even more complicated than the maze they had encountered before. Ruan Xi didn't run for long before he felt dizzy and his steps became unsteady. He stumbled and almost fell down.
He Ziqian, who had been protecting Ruan Xi, reflexively reached out to help her, but unexpectedly, a black shadow rushed over faster than He Ziqian. If that black shadow was not Xiao Hei who was running in front, who else could it be?
It was not known whether it was due to inertia from running too fast or due to Xiao Hei's own will, but Xiao Hei held Ruan Xi's legs for only three seconds before the black energy on his body began to spread to Ruan Xi. This scene frightened He Ziqian, who was fully alert and ready to rescue at any time.
Ruan Xi, on the other hand, remained calm. He even curiously teased the faint black energy wrapped around him, "Did you purposely wrap this black energy around me? Can you... protect me?"
Ruan Xi tentatively expressed his guess, and when he saw Xiao Hei's eyes flash for a moment, he knew that he was right and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
They are obviously good children. If they are raised well, they will surely have a bright future. What on earth did these damn aliens do to make these children become like this? Ruan Xi felt very uncomfortable seeing this.
At this time, the appearance had been completely ignored. Ruan Xi only saw Xiao Hei's overly simple heart, which was almost comparable to his Xiao Guai.
However, this was probably also fate. If the alien race had been kind enough, they wouldn't have created a new species like the black ball. Even if the alien race were peace-loving and Chinese, they wouldn't have had to be so kind and wouldn't have crossed planes to invade the Silver Empire. That war would have been impossible.
"Well, you have to cure us, and I have to protect you. Xiaoguai is our kind, and you are the one who will cure us. It's all good. I want to see you happy." Xiao Hei expressed his wish simply and directly. He said it without any fluctuation, but Ruan Xi and He Ziqian felt emotional when they heard it, and they felt very uncomfortable.
Even so, how dare the aliens not treat them as living beings? Perhaps there's a vast ocean in their brains, constantly swaying violently, otherwise, how could they do such a stupid thing?
"Okay, I'm fine, it's just... the degree of twisting of this route is very unfriendly to me. I feel dizzy just looking at it, let alone running in it." Ruan Xi stated his problem in a straightforward manner, then looked at He Ziqian with a smile.
"Otherwise, you should come. I'm afraid I will slow down the operation." After all, saving lives is like putting out a fire. If they delay for one more second, Xiaoguai will be in danger for one more second.
"Wow... wow... dad... father... please come and save me..."
At this moment, Xiaoguai's voice, like a devil's sound, came from the front, making the entire passage buzz. Moreover, this time even Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were not spared. They were instantly shocked by the sound that was like a sonic attack, and their heads became dizzy and they could hardly stand.
Xiao Hei's condition was the best, but he couldn't withstand Xiao Guai's attack, which shocked Ruan Xi and He Ziqian.
Their little darling has made great progress. This might not be an upgrade, but a direct leap to a higher level, right?
