Chapter 1803 Free News
In the misty mountains, a river of blood slowly flows out, dyeing the nearby land crimson.
"Human Emperor..." The soldiers stationed outside the Blood River saluted spontaneously when they saw Zhou Wen.
"Call me Zhou Wen." Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown as he looked at the soldiers. There were many abscesses on their exposed skin.
Some people even had half of their faces covered with blood blisters, looking extremely disgusting and hideous.
"What's going on?" Zhou Wen asked the officer beside him.
The officer smiled bitterly and said, "Master Wen, this river of blood may seem harmless, but if you stay here for too long, your body will develop these abscesses. The longer you stay, the worse they get. There's no cure yet, and they can't be bandaged. The more you bandage them, the worse they get."
"Why don't you withdraw?" Zhou Wen asked.
"We dare not move without orders, and we cannot move. There are things behind us that we must protect." The officer said firmly.
Zhou Wen was somewhat moved. Who doesn't fear death? But these soldiers knew they were facing death, yet they still stood firm and refused to retreat. It was hard to imagine how they could withstand the pressure and stay.
"Take off your shirt." Zhou Wen said to the officer.
"That's not appropriate," the officer quickly refused.
"He doesn't want to, so are you willing?" Zhou Wen looked at the soldier beside him and asked.
The soldier looked strange and seemed to be struggling, but finally shook his head.
Zhou Wen stopped talking, walked directly to the soldier, and grabbed his clothes.
The soldier wanted to retreat, but was held back by Zhou Wen. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped struggling and let Zhou Wen lift up his shirt.
It was shocking to see that most of his chest and back were covered with blood blisters, many of which had burst, with pus and blood slowly oozing out.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Zhou Wen asked the soldier.
"Afraid." The soldier answered after a long time.
"Then why don't you leave?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Where else can I go? If I hold on for one more day, my family can live one more day of good life. Even if it's just one more hour or one minute, I don't want the same thing to happen to my family." The soldier said, holding back tears.
From his words, one can hear the helpless despair.
As more and more dimensional realms are broken, the living space of human beings is becoming more and more compressed.
Ordinary people can still live a peaceful life at home because there are people who pay the price of blood, tears, and even their lives for it.
"Live well, there will be a day when we will be reunited." Zhou Wen reached out and patted the soldier on the shoulder.
The abscesses on the soldiers' bodies healed immediately at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only this soldier, but all the soldiers guarding the Blood River had their abscesses receding rapidly.
These abscesses are not injuries, nor are they poisons, nor are they ordinary bacterial infections, but rather contaminated blood vessels.
Therefore, ordinary power cannot heal it at all. Even the disaster-level healing holy light cannot heal such injuries.
The entire An family is helpless in this matter, and only Zhou Wen, who possesses the power of the Demon God Bloodline Atlas, can cleanse their polluted bloodline.
To put it in modern terms, there is something wrong with their genes, which is completely untreatable and can be inherited.
After a while, the abscesses on everyone's body disappeared, and the soldiers and officers were back to normal.
"Young Master Wen..." The officers and soldiers were extremely excited.
Zhou Wen stopped the officer from speaking and glanced at the soldiers: "No matter how difficult it is, you must survive. Your relatives are waiting for you to return."
After saying that, Zhou Wen turned and headed towards the blood river, rushing into the blood mist with the other two.
The officers and soldiers saluted in the direction Zhou Wen left, and were still reluctant to let go until the figure completely disappeared in the blood mist.
"This is the way it is in this era. Only the fittest survive. This is the law of nature and no one can change it." Jing Daoxian said lightly.
"Nature doesn't stipulate that anyone must die." Zhou Wen retorted.
"Hehe, have you ever thought that even if you can change their fate and let them survive, then his life is equivalent to depriving other lives of their lives. A person who should have died survived, then for every extra day he lives, he will need to consume some lives that originally did not need to die. Are you really merciful?" Jing Daoxian sneered.
"You mean to say that humans are the original sin of this world?" Zhou Wen said calmly, "Perhaps you are right, but to me, whether humans are good or bad is irrelevant. I just want the people I care about to survive. I don't understand compassion, nor am I a saint, nor do I have a far-sighted vision. I just want the people in front of me to live well."
"Hehe, you're getting more and more into my good graces, so I'll give you another piece of news for free." Jing Daoxian paused before continuing, "Wang Mingyuan once entered Chess Mountain, and he wasn't alone at the time."
"Who else?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown, because he probably guessed who Jing Daoxian wanted to talk about.
"Ouyang Ting." Jing Daoxian stared at Zhou Wen and said slowly.
"Oh." Zhou Wen was not surprised because he had already thought of this possibility.
"Aren't you curious about when they entered Chess Mountain and what they did inside?" Jing Daoxian said temptingly.
"I'm afraid you don't know either." Zhou Wen said calmly.
"This kind of provocation may work on young people, but an old man like me doesn't have that much temper." Jing Daoxian said this, but then he continued, "But I can tell you that I was in there too, and besides the three of us, there was another person, someone you'll definitely be interested in."
"Who?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised. This time he really couldn't guess who it was.
"Your father is Zhou Lingfeng." Jing Daoxian's words made Zhou Wen stunned.
He remembered Zhou Lingfeng telling him that he had never entered the Chess Mountain, but he retreated after getting close to it because of the mutation of the prisoners.
Now Jing Daoxian suddenly told him that Zhou Lingfeng had also been to Qizi Mountain, and he went there with Jing Daoxian, Wang Mingyuan and Ouyang Ting. For a moment, Zhou Wen was a little skeptical, not knowing whether he should believe Jing Daoxian.
"I know you don't believe it, so you probably won't believe what I'm going to say next either." Jing Daoxian smiled strangely, making Zhou Wen feel a little uneasy.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhou Wen said coldly.
"Have you ever seen your mother?" Jing Daoxian did not answer directly, but asked in return.
"I..." Zhou Wen opened his mouth and suddenly realized that everything about his mother was said by Zhou Lingfeng. It seemed that he had never seen his mother and did not even have any memory of what his mother looked like.
It’s just that Zhou Lingfeng told him what happened to his mother, but Zhou Wen himself didn’t remember it.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen stopped and stared at Jing Daoxian and asked.
"When Zhou Lingfeng came out of Qizi Mountain, he was holding a baby in his arms." Jing Daoxian's words were like an earthquake, shocking Zhou Wen beyond words.
