Golden Blood

As the journey prolonged, the fox boy and the girl disguised as a wolf gradually became familiar with each other.

This process took Yuan Qian a full week in real life, but was reduced to two or three pages in the comic.

As time passed by, the readers watched the two people quickly improve their understanding and tacit understanding, and they became good partners who kept pace with each other. They were sincerely happy for them.

[Friendship between children does not require such complicated conditions as in adult society] One comment lamented.

The fake wolf ears given by the old couple seemed flawless at first glance, but they could not hide the truth from people who had been together for a long time. So Su Mei quickly "discovered" that Xiaoman was not an ordinary abandoned person, but a rare disabled person.

"If you're afraid of having your soul taken away, it's not too late to stay away from me now." Xiao Man didn't look at him, but just looked at the bonfire and said. The girl looked calm, as if she had already prepared herself mentally for her companions to find reasons to stay away from her.

In order to facilitate movement, the boy was tying up his snow-white long hair with a soft vine that Xiaoman had picked. Hearing this, he not only did not show any fear, but also did not get angry at her for hiding it like the people she had met before. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked Xiaoman cunningly:

"So Xiaoman already considers me a friend?"

The girl shook her head honestly and obediently.

"Well then," Su Mei was not discouraged at all, but nodded as if acknowledging her caution, "Indeed, you don't know me yet."

"Now that I know your secret, I'll trade my secret with yours. That's fair, isn't it?" he asked.

Xiaoman wanted to say that I have no interest in other people's secrets, and I don't have to hide my identity, I just want to avoid trouble... But the bonfire cast a layer of gold on the boy's fair profile and the strands of hair that fell on his cheeks. His clear golden eyes looked at her so earnestly and sincerely, and were as beautiful as a lake filled with the setting sun.

She looked at this new friend from a close distance, and the gradually rising coolness of the night wind seemed to be dispelled by the warm breath of the fox boy.

So Xiaoman didn't say no in the end, thinking: It doesn't matter if I follow his idea. It's not a big deal.

She nodded.

"I said that when I first met you. Actually, it's because I am the child of the Qi clan." Su Mei said softly.

As he spoke, he stood up, faced Xiaoman, and took two steps back.

"But this is not a secret. Another secret is that I——"

As the voice faded, a giant snow-white beast appeared in front of Xiaoman.

It lowered its huge and beautiful head and placed its long snout where Su Mei had just been. It did not approach Xiao Man directly, but left her a safe distance.

The huge, slender white fox lay in front of Xiaoman with its head lowered, relaxed, like a furry and warm snow mountain.

[Wow! It’s a super-sized furry one!]

[The big pink nose mud!!! I sucked it off! 】

[The little fox can actually turn into a big fox. Isn't this a steal? I like the furry form so beautiful. Please don't change back (begging)]

Its golden eyes reflected the two stunned "Xiao Man" completely. Although it was a beast, its eyes were clear and transparent, with the same friendly expression as that of the young man.

The girl sitting by the campfire subconsciously tensed up for the appearance of this existence that could not be ignored, instinctively reached for her self-defense weapon, and prepared to distance herself from it. But she immediately thought of its identity, realizing that this giant beast that had not shown any hostility was her temporary companion just a moment ago.

After leaving a startling glimpse in the comic screen, the white fox quickly disappeared, replaced by a slender boy with long hair tied up with vines and a wise look.

He sat down again and shook his head, and his real pointed fox ears twitched mischievously.

"I am the 'golden blood' born from two abandoned people. This is my secret," he said.

[Good guys, I just call them good guys! ]

[The difference between this golden blood and the general beast race is that it can be transformed into a beast. It is definitely not as valuable as the master. A passerby has revealed that the Royal Guards and the Temple have tens of thousands of selected golden bloods in service. However, this one was born from a degenerate abandoned race! He must be special, brothers! Remember this point! ]

[Indeed, this is probably the only example in the world. Although there are few people like Xiaoman, they are definitely not as rare as this example of reverse degeneration...]

As the bullet screen said, Xiaoman also realized his peculiarity. According to common sense, this is indeed a secret that can cause more trouble. Sumei's sincerity in exchanging secrets can be said to be beyond the ordinary.

"So we are both very special and we both have no family. I heard that Bronze City is a very large city. If two aliens know each other well, they can cover for each other. Wouldn't that be safer?"

Su Mei threw small branches into the bonfire and said.

"Yeah." Xiaoman was not good at talking too much, but the way she skillfully used a knife to peel the slightly numbing skin of the wild fruit and then handed the wild fruit to Sumei already showed her attitude.

Su Mei took the wild fruit that was cut into four pieces in her palm and ate it politely.

Xiaoman, who had already filled her stomach as the breadwinner of her parents, was distracted, her fingers stroking the letter from home between the layers of her clothes in her arms.

(Bronze City...)

The girl, who had only experienced villages and towns and had never set foot on any inch of land in the Seven Cities in her life, could not imagine what the Foundry City looked like. Her mother had never described to her the difference between a city and other settlements, and she knew nothing about the "city".

Xiaoman's previous preparations were just to bring enough food. She thought that if the food in the Bronze City was too expensive, she would eat what she brought with her. If the accommodation was too expensive, she would find a sheltered corner to spend the night, which was no different from sleeping outdoors. Anyway, she was still young and not that afraid of the cold and hunger.

But Xiaoman did not back down. Even though she had no companions and no friendly passers-by to guide her, she still wanted to go to the Bronze City.

This was not only to fulfill her promise to deliver a letter to the lady boss who had treated her to a good meal, but also because she had decided to take her mother to different parts of the world to see different scenery, so the city was just a part of the journey. The walls and buildings built by the beastmen were always dangerous, but they were also the thorny roads and mountains that had opened their arms to her.

As the girl's thoughts sank into darkness, the outlines of things reappeared on the screen.

It seemed like an ordinary little house, and some people would notice the carefully painted emptiness of the room, the old shelves in the kitchen area were empty, and a few packed luggage were piled next to the bed.

On the empty little bed were two beastmen, one big and one small, curled up, wrapped in blankets and barely sleeping on the bed. Their shoes and pants, which were already properly worn, were exposed in the places that the blankets could not cover. It was obvious that they were ready to leave at any time.

The cartoon depicts the expressions of the two children in great detail with just a few strokes; their sleeping faces reveal remnants of sadness and fatigue, but at least there is no fear.

The elder brother had a half-foot-long sharp horn on his head, and he looked almost like an adult, but his calves were still thin and childish outside his pants that were not long enough. The younger brother was even younger, with a goat-like horn between his curly light-colored hair that was not even as long as a knuckle, and looked like a blunt little hill.

They were fast asleep. Outside the next window, dark shadows passed by in the dark night. The silhouettes of several tall and short, fairly strong men stood in front of the door of this house.

One of them knocked softly on the wooden door. The sound was so quiet that it did not attract the attention of any neighbor who was sleeping soundly due to exhaustion. However, the brother in the house was startled and suddenly stood up. He picked up a wooden stick and walked towards the door cautiously, which made the reader realize that this was probably not a story that happened in a place with very good public security.

"Who is it?" he asked in a low voice.

"It's me. Filler." The person who knocked on the door answered.

"Uncle Philer?" The elder brother's expression relaxed when he heard the familiar voice. He turned around and motioned his younger brother who had already woken up to sit down on the bed and not move.

He did not open the door directly, but asked: "It's not even daybreak yet, why are you here so early?"

Feller replied in a low voice: "I have contacted an acquaintance. Now hurry out of the city. You can sneak in among the paid minecarts without charging you any money... Alas, the Kane couple are unlucky. They were not chosen by the best boss, and the pension left for you is not enough. I have known them for so many years, and I have to consider you two. I can save some money here and there, so that you brothers can have one more day of food in the future."

The adult man's voice was suppressed and sad, with just the right amount of hoarseness, as if he were an elder who really cared about them wholeheartedly, making the children who had just lost their parents feel sad.

The brother finally let down his guard and pulled the bolt, but what greeted him was a handful of merciless dark powder. His eyes widened but his tongue and throat were completely paralyzed, so he couldn't utter a single sound.

Philer stopped pretending to be friendly, and the grown men behind him knocked his brother unconscious and held him up to prevent him from falling, while Philer went into the house to grab his brother.

What made them feel relieved was that the younger child seemed to be frightened and had not reacted yet, or it was too dark at night and he could not see anything clearly. In short, the young child just sat on the bed in a daze, not crying or making a fuss. After Philer approached him, picked him up and covered his mouth with a handful of medicine powder, he fell asleep directly without causing them any unnecessary trouble.

Two of them carried their younger brother and their older brother, who was covered in a sack like cargo. The rest took away the tattered luggage, closed the door and left in a hurry.

Only a crooked "F" hastily carved with fingernails remained on the old bed board, frozen in the center of the picture, as the last trace left by the child for his home.

The group of people who were carefully carrying tonight's harvest quickly disappeared from the street, and everything soon returned to silence.

[Mom, I saw a kidnapping case...]

【So don’t open the door to people you know!!!】

[These few pages made me so nervous... The clues left by the child must be useful! ]

[Bronze City isn’t a good place either. I’m so worried that the kids have been kidnapped.]

[Xiaoman! There are bad guys here who want to catch children! Watch your fox carefully! ]

[This is so funny, you got it wrong, do they need protection when they are the top level of the Golden Blood Beast Clan? And Meimei looks very smart! So he should be the one protecting Xiaoman! ]

[Now that I think about it, I really want to see the little fox that looks like a vase break the stone pillar with one punch like the Golden Blood that beat the soy sauce before (whisper)

[Xiao Man: My friend is a delicate flower, too weak to control herself... May I ask who this great hero who can break a stone with his hands is? (Pupils tremble)

[Hahahaha, you guys are making me look forward to it!!!]

With the barrage of jokes, the depressing atmosphere finally dissipated completely.

The street scene gradually moves away from the corner where the thrilling story just happened, and finally becomes as small as a speck of sand. The city landscape immersed in the night is completely incorporated into the picture, forming a spectacular large cross-page spread.

The entire city is surrounded by rugged mining mountains, and some buildings are shaped like anvils, while others look like furnaces or wheels.

The residential areas where miners and craftsmen lived were dark, the neighborhoods where officials and nobles lived were bright, and some factories that operated all night were even brighter.

The outline formed by the lights finally burned out the name of the city on the page at the end of this chapter.

Jino City - The Cast City. Also known as the Bronze City.

At the same time, it is also the next destination that the protagonist of the comic "The Incomplete" will arrive at.
