Chapter 218 [Already Equipped [Phew...]]
[Equipped with [Thunderous Skull]]
Please select equipment mode: Immersive or Stripped.
Immersive?
He Yuan clicked on the entry, which described the "Immersive Mode" as being able to hear the babbling of Hu Lei, while also experiencing some physical changes.
For example, it might grow wolf ears and a wolf tail, or its fangs might become sharp.
He tried it, and it felt like a whole new world had opened up for him.
Hu Lei was imprisoned for a short time, and his death at the hands of He Yuan was quite swift.
Over the years, his consciousness has been imprisoned within his skull, forced to confront an empty space, but when he speaks with He Yuan, his tone is surprisingly not as mad as one might expect.
If a normal person is imprisoned for one or two hundred years without anyone speaking to them, they will at least become somewhat mentally unstable, if not insane.
Hu Lei was terrifyingly normal; he even remained calm and "negotiated" with He Yuan.
"Negotiation?" He Yuan found his words somewhat amusing. "What leverage do you have to negotiate with me?"
Hu Lei is now a consciousness similar to Sui Yang, but without Sui Yang's freedom. He can't do anything, so where does he get the confidence to negotiate with He Yuan?
The Crane Kite of a hundred years ago could kill him; the even stronger Crane Kite of a hundred years later will only finish him off even faster.
Hu Lei ignored his disdain and asked in return, "The demonic yin body of the Fox-People Cloud Cavalry has never been resolved, but I have a way."
Similar to, yet different from, the fox people possess both demonic and yin bodies, and some do not, aging and dying rapidly. In the Cloud Cavalry, the former constitute the vast majority, and some fox generals in several generations have even unleashed extremely powerful forces, nearly breaking through their specially made armor and freeing themselves from their restraints.
"Our destiny is to be born with demonic bodies," He Yuan replied coldly, a hint of concern creeping into her heart.
If it weren't for the sudden chaos, Sister Bai Heng would most likely have...
Hu Lei said calmly, "But without the Demon Yin Body, the lifespan of the Fox-People Cloud Cavalry would be extended considerably."
The Immortal Boat Alliance has a large population, with no shortage of Cloud Cavalry soldiers and Fox People. Generally speaking, there is no need to negotiate with Hu Lei on this matter or make a so-called "equivalent exchange".
"Greed is a grave sin, even if it doesn't lead to death."
Short-lived species fantasize about immortality, as do long-lived species extend their lifespan.
Hu Lei added, "This is also somewhat useful for the Xianzhou people."
"From a certain perspective, we all hope that our soldiers can have a good old age, rather than suffer from the fear of being haunted by demonic possession."
Crane Kite scoffed, "Since when did the Bu Li people, who abandoned the elderly, weak, women, and children, start to proclaim that they are good to their own people?"
The Immortal Boat Alliance will arrange leisurely and stable jobs for retired Cloud Cavalry soldiers and provide them with benefits. The Bu Li people will only turn the useless "warriors" into rations and then become the "useless warriors" they have just eaten.
Hu Lei didn't take it to heart: "We have different views. You don't need to impose the morality of the Immortal Ship on Bu Liren."
"Anyway, our interests are aligned."
He deliberately said, "I remember your ex-husband, he was from the Yunqi Army, right?"
“I remember very clearly that the generals of the Immortal Ship never lived past a hundred years in office. Jing Yuan has already lived for a hundred years. How much longer do you think he has?”
He Yuan calmly opened Jing Yuan's panel, "With me here, he can live for a long time."
It's not that it can prolong life, but when encountering some tricky situations, Jingyuan needs to take a roundabout approach and expend a lot of energy, while Heyuan only needs to cut through the mess quickly and solve the problem at its source.
Moreover, no one dared to cause him trouble. Firstly, He Yuan was almost entirely protected by Lan Ming, and no one dared to gamble with the Star God's wrath; secondly, anyone who did such a thing would feel somewhat guilty.
Of course, the crane and the kite can only affect part of Jingyuan's lifespan.
Judging from the current situation, Jing Yuan is very resilient (in a good way). Even if He Yuan doesn't take action, he can live peacefully for a long time.
Sensing He Yuan's certainty, Hu Lei lowered his posture slightly. "Leaving aside that general, can you really protect all the Cloud Riders and all the Fox People?"

Author's note: Here's a solution to the problem of Feixiao in the future. He won't have the heaven-defying immortality, but the fox people won't be trapped by that armor anymore.
