Chapter 199 I Can’t Go to Yutian Kingdom
Not far from the gatekeeper beast is a ruined area with everything, but the most common ones are human skeletons.
The two running figures could no longer distinguish the original colors of their clothes.
"Sister, wait for me."
"Get up, run, the monster is coming."
The two people were Jiang Shu and Jiang Xing. They had been here for more than a month, and it was a miracle that they were still alive.
But living like this is more painful than death.
When they first arrived, they thought they had reached the pinnacle of their lives, but they didn't expect to be sent to this place by the gatekeeper beast.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a four-legged beast, a monster even more ferocious than the gatekeeper beast.
The monster could speak. It said that it was a divine beast guarding the State of Zhao, and the State of Zhao promised to sacrifice mortals to it every hundred years.
Jiang Shu and Jiang Xing then realized that the so-called saint was not here to enjoy life, but to offer sacrifices.
"Sister, I'm so scared."
"Shut up."
Jiang Shu pulled her to hide inside a rotten animal carcass.
This is how they have been avoiding it for more than a month.
"Two little mortals, I know where you are hiding. I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to play anymore. Come out and let me eat you."
Jiang Shu covered her mouth with one hand and Jiang Xing's mouth with the other.
"Your ancestors promised me that I will protect your State of Zhao, and you, the State of Zhao, must offer sacrifices to me. Come out obediently and offer sacrifices for your State of Zhao."
Jiang Shu's tears were streaming down her face, her whole body was trembling, and her breath was full of disgusting smell, but she didn't dare to move because going out would mean death.
"roar!"
Under the roar of the national guardian beast, the ground was shaking, the bodies began to fly around, and the bones were dancing in the sky.
The bodies covering Jiang Shu and Jiang Xing were also blown over. They quickly stood up and wanted to run again but were blocked by the national guardian beast.
"Mortals of Zhao, if you don't keep your word, aren't you afraid that I will be angry and bring down divine punishment on you?"
Jiang Shu kept shaking her head: "I don't care what agreement you have with Zhao State. It has nothing to do with us. We were brought here by Master Su. You can't hurt us."
"What Young Master Su? I've never heard of that." The Guardian Beast roared again, "You have been sent here to be eaten by me. Stop struggling and come into my mouth obediently."
The bloody mouth opened wide, and the rotten smell from the mouth made it impossible for the two men to open their eyes.
Jiang Xing cried out, "Don't eat me, don't eat me, big sister, save me."
Jiang Shu was also very scared. She suddenly let go of Jiang Xing's hand and pushed her directly into the mouth of the national beast.
"Ah! No! Big sister, no, big sister, save me!"
Jiang Shu covered her ears with her hands: "I'm sorry, Third Sister, I'm sorry."
The national guardian beast closed its mouth, and Jiang Xing's voice could no longer be heard.
But the Guardian Beast was still unsatisfied. It stared at Jiang Shu and said, "There were always four of us before, but this time there are only two. For the sake of the God of War, I will forgive you mortals who don't keep your word."
The beast's mouth opened again.
Jiang Shu's whole body froze, but she didn't want to die. Suddenly she remembered that there was a hairpin in her arms, so she took it out and pointed it at the national beast.
The national guardian beast that was about to attack suddenly stopped, took two steps back, and stared at her with its eyes.
"Where did you get this black jade hairpin?"
Jiang Shu opened her eyes and looked at the national beast, stammering in fear: "This hairpin. This hairpin."
"Tell me quickly, what is your relationship with the God of War?"
Jiang Shu's pupils shrank. How could she know who the God of War was? She only knew that the hairpin belonged to Jiang Yao.
No, the National Guarding Beast means that this hairpin belongs to the God of War, and judging from the appearance of the National Guarding Beast, it is afraid of the God of War.
Jiang Shu rolled her eyes and said confidently, "This hairpin was given to me by the God of War."
"The God of War gave it to you?"
The Guardian Beast looked at her suspiciously for a while, then suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with the God of War?"
"I. I."
"Hurry up and tell me."
"I."
"If you don't tell me, I'll eat you."
"I am the wife of the God of War."
Anan tribe.
Lan Ke was walking back and forth in front of the door. Seeing Honglin coming out, he hurriedly asked, "How is she?"
Honglin shook her head: "Miss Jiang Yao said it was okay, but she refused to let me call a doctor."
Lan Ke stood outside the door and asked, "Miss Jiang Yao, can I come in?"
"Come in." Jiang Yao's weak voice came from inside.
Jiang Yao and Lan Ke have been in the Anan tribe for half a month.
Her health was getting worse and worse.
When Lan Ke saw her again, he almost didn't recognize her. There was less flesh on her face than when she first came.
Especially those eyes, which were big to begin with, now looked even more prominent and looked extremely haggard.
"Miss Jiang Yao, you should ask a doctor to take a look."
Jiang Yao smiled faintly: "I am the doctor, I don't need anyone else to see me."
"But you look very bad now."
"I know."
She sighed and placed her hand on her slightly swollen belly: "I'm trying to find a way to keep him."
"Protect?" Lan Ke was confused. "Did you have a miscarriage last time in Jincheng?"
Jiang Yao shook her head. She felt uncomfortable when she first came and thought she had a miscarriage. After taking medicine for a few days, she found out that it was not the case.
She then remembered what Zhao Ce had said, that people from Zhao could not have children with people from Yutian.
"This child is too strong, and I am too weak. I am afraid I can't keep him."
A tear slid down helplessly. This was what Jiang Yao least wanted to experience. She had been looking forward to the arrival of this child. How could he be gone like this?
Honglin took her hand, tears streaming down her face, "Jiang Yao, why don't you just give up this child?"
Jiang Yao shook his head firmly: "I must protect him."
“But you’re already like this.”
"I have an idea."
Lan Ke suddenly said something.
Jiang Yao looked at him with expectation in his eyes: "Master Lan Ke, please speak frankly."
"The child belongs to Master Su, so he needs spiritual power to grow up. Zhao State does not have spiritual power, but Yutian State does."
"Are we going to let Jiang Yao go to Yutian Kingdom?" Honglin thought it was impossible: "How can we mortals go to Yutian Kingdom?"
"Yes." Jiang Yao looked at the box on the table. Yue Jian was lying inside. Yue Jian hadn't spoken to her for a long time. She was afraid that her spiritual power was exhausted and she fell asleep. Without spiritual power, even Yue Jian couldn't go to Yutian: "I can't go to Yutian Kingdom."
When she mentioned Yutian Kingdom, she thought of Su Qianji and felt melancholy.
Lan Ke was silent for a long time. He sent the maid out of the room, sat down at the table, and then slowly spoke: "The other day I met the late Emperor of Zhao, and then I remembered something my grandfather told me when I was a child."
"The previous emperor of Zhao State went to Yutian Kingdom, but he didn't use the same route that the envoys came."
Jiang Yao's pupils shrank. She knew that Zhao Qi had been to Yutian Kingdom, but if he didn't go through the gatekeeper beast, then there must be another way.
"It was a bloody road paid for with countless lives."
