Chapter 221: Growth



very nice!

From the time he was born till now, he has never felt that life has been so good.

The 'beloved' woman lay in his arms, and her tired body got a good rest after a day of hard work.

Even if he woke up, he was unwilling to move.

"John."

Until a faint, dull sound came from my arms.

"What's wrong?" John looked down: "Are you worried about something?"

The woman's name is Xiaojiu. She has no surname. She grew up on a flower boat and followed her tribe in wandering in this doomsday.

"I am pregnant."

Xiao Jiu murmured, "This is my third pregnancy, and the first time I got pregnant without permission. Will you keep this child?"

The flower boat has its own rules, and pregnancy and childbirth can only be achieved with the man's consent.

After all, women are very vulnerable during pregnancy and need male protection and adequate food.

Having children will lead to a series of problems.

Every woman is an asset to Huachuan, so naturally they do not allow such a long window of time.

Unless the price is agreed upon.

Getting pregnant secretly was undoubtedly very bold, and it also proved that Xiaojiu very much hoped that the two of them could have their own child.

John's face changed.

"certainly!"

After a brief consideration, he nodded heavily: "This is our child, of course I will keep him, and I will ask Envoy Karl to let you stay."

"We raise our own children!"

Xiaojiu lay in his arms, his eyes red, and his hands tightly hugged his not-so-strong body.

"John!"

At this moment, a hurried shout came from outside the house: "Come out quickly, there's something wrong in the breeding room!"

"Um?"

John sat up suddenly, said something comforting to Xiaojiu, put on his clothes and hurried out the door.

…………

Cultivation room.

After several broadswords, the originally narrow and simple breeding room has become a spacious room covering nearly 200 square meters.

even,

In the hearts of the people of Xucheng, this place is far more important than other places.

"call……"

John rushed into the cultivation room like a gust of wind, and his eyes narrowed immediately.

The dozens of fat, soil-eating silkworms originally in the breeding room suddenly mutated at some point.

That 'fat silkworm that eats soil' the size of a wash basin had things resembling eyes on its surface.

As his eyes blinked, white threads shot out, filling the entire breeding room densely.

The silk threads crisscrossed and formed several large cocoons inside.

The big cocoon was squirming, and several human faces could be seen protruding from the surface, their faces filled with fear and despair.

"Joey, Julius..."

John trembled:

"What happened?"

"Last night, the fat soil-eating silkworms in the breeding room mutated and devoured the people who were collecting meat glue."

Carl stood in the middle of the breeding room, observing a mutated soil-eating silkworm, and said:

"You're lucky you're not here, otherwise you would have ended up like them."

John turned pale.

His first reaction was not to feel lucky, but to think what would happen to Xiaojiu and the child if something happened to him? The tragic death of his colleague made him tremble.

fear!

He was scared! He had faced death threats many times when he went out of town to explore alone before, but he had never been as scared as he was now.

If you have a wish in your heart, you don’t want to die.

"Divine Envoy Karl." John came back to his senses with a complicated expression: "How could a fat silkworm that eats dirt become like this?"

"I am mistaken. The aura here can not only distort the body, but also affect the blood." Carl shook his head slightly: "The life cycle of the soil-eating fat silkworm is very short, but the bloodline continues and is still affected by this world."

"Don't worry..."

"I still have a few soil-eating silkworms, but this is not a solution. We need to breed resistant varieties."

"Analogous test? Genetic optimization?" John's eyes moved slightly. He had received knowledge on this aspect.

"Um."

Carl nodded:

"When you breed soil-eating silkworms in the future, don't keep them in the same room and observe the effects of different environments on them."

"I heard you found a girl on a flower boat?"

"Yes." John nodded and told her about Xiaojiu's pregnancy. He said a little embarrassedly, "Messenger Karl, I want to keep Xiaojiu here."

"As long as you pay enough, you can make the women on the flower boat give birth to children, but it is not easy to keep them." Carl thought for a moment and said:

"Try to breed soil-eating silkworms. If one of them develops resistance, I will help you buy it."

"Thank you, angel of God!" John's eyes lit up: "I will definitely breed qualified soil-eating fat silkworms!"

* * * Several giant birds with a wingspan of dozens of meters fell from the sky and turned into human forms when they landed on the ground of Xucheng.

Each giant bird carries a dozen people on its back.

The total number of people is nearly a hundred.

"God of Hardy!"

Carl stepped forward and said:

"You're here at last."

"Emissary Karl?" Hardy was tall and thin, with an eagle-like nose. Even when he smiled, he gave people a cold feeling.

"I heard Bowen mention you, a wanderer with great power, a mysterious traveler who explores ruins."

He looked at Carl and exclaimed:

"In all the years I've known Bowen, I've never seen him praise anyone like this."

"You're joking." Carl smiled and waved his hand: "You've worked hard all the way here, go to the inner city and rest first."

"Let's melt the divine fire first." Hadi said, "We have lost our virtual city, and we will settle here in the future. I hope Envoy Karl will take good care of us."

"Before his death, Envoy Bowen said that you would come here to take over his duties and protect the residents of the virtual city. I am just taking care of it on his behalf." Carl said as he walked, "Of course."

"I also need a place to rest. I will come here often in the future. However, the affairs of Xucheng still need to be managed by you, the Envoy of God Hardy."

The divine gift in his virtual city is also related to the god of thunder, but it is not about how to control the power of thunder.

Instead, it transformed into a divine bird with the power to control thunder.

It is precisely because they belong to the same "Thunder" lineage that Bowen and Hardy became friends, even close friends.

"call……"

As the divine fire brought by Hardy merged into the divine fire of Xucheng, the divine fire suddenly became stronger and its size grew larger.

"Our divine fire can last for more than ten years. With the divine fire here, it should be able to last for more than thirty years."

Hadi looked at the divine fire and sighed helplessly: "It's still too short!"

"One day at a time." Carl said, "I hope to see the gift from God Hadi, so that I can pay you."

“No need.” Hadi waved his hand. “Our God-given item is quite special. Few people from other Void City can comprehend anything from it.”

"If possible..."

“That’s the best!”

He reached out and pulled out a piece of bone that was completely different from that of a human from his back and placed it in front of Carl.

This God-given item involves blood, thunder, and flight, and may not be of much use to others.

But it can be of great help to Carl.

"By the way!" he asked, "Did you encounter any fallen angels when you came here?"

Hardy's face darkened.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, "When passing through an area, I did sense an extremely terrifying and dangerous aura. Fortunately, that thing did not attack us."

"It looks like it must be a fallen angel of the despair level."

Half a month later.

Carl opened his eyes in the quiet room and casually stretched his muscles, and a crackling sound came from his body.

"Comprehension of the things bestowed by God can not only increase the accumulation of knowledge, but also increase spiritual power to a certain extent."

"If I had dozens of divine gifts for me to comprehend, I might be able to break through a level in a short period of time..."

“Hmm!”

"It is said that if one comprehends too many God-given things, especially those of the opposite nature, one will go crazy. I don't know if it is true or not."

…………

The other side.

Hadi was invited by Mahi to come to the flower boat to discuss matters.

Christina took out the wine that Huachuan had collected, poured a glass for each of them, and presented them with two wood nuts.

Wood fruit is a specialty of Huachuan.

It is slightly sweet, filling, and has a certain amount of moisture. It is usually treated as a precious item and traded with other virtual cities.

After all, fruit is extremely rare in this environment.

"please!"

Mashi picked up the wine glass, took a sip and savored it slowly: "This is the brewing method I learned from a virtual city. The wine tastes spicy at first, but becomes mellower as time goes by."

"The key is that after drinking it, you can forget a lot of troubles."

"Oh?" Hadi nodded. "I have seen descriptions of wine in the ruins before the Great Destruction. It said that even gods like it."

"but……"

"Let's talk business!"

"Yes." Mashi's smile faded, and she rubbed her temple and said, "Hua Chuan arrived a few months earlier than you, but she has seen Envoy Karl no more than five times."

"So he is not interested in managing Xucheng, I believe it."

"Really?" Hadi frowned. "But he is the only one who has the seeds of the Earth-eating Silkworms in Xucheng. If he leaves..., there will be problems with food in the future."

"That fallen angel probably didn't leave. Going out to look for food is courting death."

"John in the breeding room has mastered the method of breeding soil-eating fat silkworms. He is exploring their ability to resist alienation." Mashi said, "If the soil-eating fat silkworms can avoid alienation, then Xucheng will no longer have to worry about food in the future."

Hardy's breathing quickened and he subconsciously clenched his hands.

"And the reservoir." Mashi continued:

“We all know that the method of making a reservoir is now in the hands of the people in Mu Jiuxu City, but Karl also has a similar method. Currently, Xucheng is building the seventh reservoir.”

"Then..."

"Even the people you brought with you and the flower boat will no longer have to worry about drinking water. Maybe they can use the water to bathe in the future."

Hardy's throat rolls.

Take a bath with water?

Hundreds of years ago, when the Great Destruction had just begun and there were not many evil things, people used water to bathe.

Now,

This is undoubtedly a luxury! "Emissary Karl can't leave!"

Hardy squinted:

"Let him stay no matter what."

"Yes." Mashi nodded. "From what I know, Envoy Karl is very interested in divine essence and divine gifts. We can impress him in this regard."

"in addition……"

"Even if Envoy Karl doesn't leave, the Divine Fire of Xucheng won't last long. We must have new Divine Fire to replenish it."

"Mashi Divine Envoy." Hadi thought thoughtfully: "The divine fire of the flower boat should be enough to burn for decades, right?"

Other virtual cities may lack the divine fire, but the flower boat definitely does not. After all, as far as he knows, the flower boat has swallowed the divine fire of several virtual cities.

"The divine fire of the flower boat cannot be melted into other virtual cities."

Mashi shook her head without hesitation: "Maybe..."

"We should spread the news here and attract more Xucheng Divine Envoys who can't hold on any longer."

"As long as we have enough food and water, and more and more divine fire, this place may become the second Mu Jiuxu City!"

"Oh!" Hadi smiled. "Saint Envoy Mashi is not going to Mujiuxu City?"

Mahi lowered her brows.

She also learned about Mujiuxu City from other people, and she had witnessed the changes in the city where Karl was with her own eyes.

Instead of going to Mu Jiuxu City, it is better to build this place into Mu Jiuxu City.

and,

As the first to arrive, her status will be higher. If she goes to Mu Jiuxu City, she can only be a vassal.

"Report!"

"Three divine messengers have come to seek refuge. Divine Messenger Carl is in seclusion, so McKim sent someone to notify the two of you."

Mahi and Hadi looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
