Chapter 92 I'd Rather Die
"characteristic?"
Jiang Xi learned something new.
What are characteristics?
Before Hollen could speak, Lu Liufeng offered his explanation.
"It is said that every ancestral beast possesses the ability to manipulate the elements of heaven and earth. It is this ability that allows the descendants of the ancestral beasts to revert to their ancestral form and regain control of this power."
"However, dragons have difficulty reproducing and it is difficult for them to have offspring to carry on the lineage. Therefore, every dragon is equivalent to an ancestral beast, possessing the characteristics of heaven and earth from birth."
"This characteristic cannot be passed down; after death, it will return to the world."
"But there is another theory that some orcs have mastered the method of preserving traits. They can leave these traits behind and then select the best orcs from their offspring to inherit them. This process can be repeated generation after generation, ensuring that the traits are preserved in the race forever and that there is an orc who reverts to their ancestral traits in each generation."
Jiang Xi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Her gaze swept over the three beastmen in the room, and she asked curiously.
"Does your tribe possess this method?"
Her beast husbands are all top-tier beastmen.
If they can't find a solution, then the other beastmen are even less likely to be able to.
Lu Liufeng shook his head, "The Eagle Strait will pray for the arrival of the bloodline through prayer."
Yi Yuexi stroked her chin, lost in thought.
"Now that you mention it, I think I have indeed heard that every generation of the hyena clan has a beastman who has reverted to his ancestral form."
"Hyena tribe?" Lu Liufeng asked, somewhat puzzled.
Like the pig tribe, hyenas have their own large tribes and rarely venture out to live in other city-states or tribes.
Yi Yuexi said with a smile.
"I heard it from the pig-tribe orcs. I heard that the hyena orcs especially like to steal female pig-tribe women, and the two tribes are fighting each other fiercely."
Now, only Hollen's Golden Lion Clan remains without an answer.
Jiang Xi looked at him and saw that his lion-like eyes were slightly lowered and his handsome face seemed somewhat troubled, so she said.
"If it's inconvenient to say, you don't need to tell us."
Her words were well-intentioned, but if Hollen didn't say something, it would only confirm her answer.
Hollen raised his blue lion eyes and shook his head.
"The Golden Lion Clan is not of the Ancestral Beast bloodline, so naturally they don't have it."
But whether this matter exists or not, it is a secret of the Golden Lion Clan, and he cannot reveal it.
"Therefore, even if there is life in the Cursed Land, it is probably just the lingering evil spirits of dragons or other beastmen..."
At this point, Lu Liufeng pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
"But if it's a dragon, even an evil spirit, it's not something the seven tribes of the Cursed Land can contend with."
The seven tribes, due to the influence of the curse, are unable to break through to the fourth major stage.
Even the most powerful orcs were suppressed to the third tier.
As Lu Liufeng felt the wind flowing in the air and thought about the light screen rising on the wall, he suddenly had a guess.
"This time, the light barrier has risen, isolating the Cursed Land once again. Could it also prevent the power of the curse from affecting the area inside the walls, allowing the orcs inside to break through to the fourth major stage?"
Hollen sensed the supernatural power within his body.
"It won't be long before I can try to break through, and then we'll see how it goes."
Yi Yuexi had just entered the late stage of the third major stage and needed some more time, so she didn't speak.
Jiang Xi saw that despite exchanging so much information, they still hadn't reached a conclusion.
For a moment, I felt a little disappointed, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
However, it wasn't entirely without gains.
At least, it let her know that the Cursed Lands were the domain of the fallen dragons, and also the ancient dragon tombs.
Everything can be traced back to the dragon race, which disappeared a thousand years ago.
While the group was discussing things inside the house...
In the remote and unreachable forest of giant trees, animal skin tents are scattered along the riverbank amidst the lush greenery.
The campfire crackled and popped.
The beautiful, fair-skinned sea creature with fish-fin ears carried the prepared food to the largest animal-hide tent.
But as soon as he reached the tent, he paused and turned back.
An argument could be heard coming from inside the tent.
"Haixia, stop being so willful!"
"You must go to the cursed land, find Jiang Xi, and renew your marriage contract!"
A moment later, a clear, weak voice rang out, tinged with stubbornness.
“Ancestor, Haixia would rather die in the sea than marry Jiang Xi again.”
"Besides, now that she has lost her outward spiritual power, she is already useless. Even if I really marry her, the backlash will never be reversed, and I will still die."
The man's voice was cold and unquestionable.
"Whether you go or not, I will take you to find her and renew your bond."
“Now that you have awakened a trace of dragon bloodline, you will become the sacred dragon-fish bloodline of the Boundless Sea. I cannot stand by and watch you die because of the backlash of the marriage contract.”
It has been a long time since any sea creature has awakened the bloodline of the dragon race.
Haisia is a royal family of the sea, and she possesses remarkable talent.
Now, he has awakened a trace of dragon blood, making him clearly the future heir to the Boundless Sea.
Unfortunately, no one expected that Haisia would suffer a severe backlash after the annulment of her marriage contract.
The backlash wasn't too bad at first; it just made him weak.
But for some reason, not long ago, the backlash suddenly became more severe.
Haisia began to turn white, lose her scales, and her supernatural abilities began to slowly dissipate, never to be restored.
The sea creatures tried everything, but they could not save Haixia.
It was clear that if things continued like this, Haixia would die from the backlash.
The Sea King and Sea Queen had no choice but to seek help from the ancestor of the Boundless Sea, begging him to send Haixia to the cursed land to find his queen and renew their bond.
The argument inside the animal-hide tent ended quickly.
A tall man dressed in black lifted the tent flap and stepped out, his eyes sweeping over the surroundings with a cold and authoritative gaze.
"Keep an eye on the prince! If something like this happens again, you will be held accountable!"
The servants immediately lowered their heads.
"yes."
"yes."
The argument stemmed from Haixia asking her servant to help her escape.
He was caught and brought back shortly after he left.
After the man left, a long sigh came from inside the tent.
"This is what makes me wish I were dead... I'd rather just die."
The servant opened the tent flap, went inside, and knelt on the ground.
"Prince, please don't say such things anymore."
"Now that you have awakened your dragon bloodline, the clan ancestor will definitely find a way to keep you alive. Perhaps, perhaps when you reach the cursed land, you won't need to remarry her."
Inside the tent, there stood a tall water vat.
A sea-blue phosphorescence occasionally flickers around the water tank.
A self-deprecating laugh came from inside.
"They... are only after this trace of dragon blood within me..."
"I would rather have never awakened the dragon blood."
"At least this way, I won't be unable to decide my own death."
