Chapter 55: The Backyard is on Fire (The previous chapter has been modified, refresh and read)
Zerg, palace.
The epidemic mission failed, and he dragged his broken body to meet the Insect King.
On the road, he bumped into Anubiah. The two passed each other. Shi Yi didn't know what he was thinking about. He stopped and looked back at the boy, with a nasty smile on his lips.
"I saw your little female, she's so pretty~"
Anubiah wanted to ignore the epidemic as usual, but when he heard his words, he looked over, grabbed his collar and threw him against the wall.
His eyes were gloomy and cold, "You! Did you do that to her?"
"Haha, just as I expected, you care about that little female quite a lot~"
Anubia has been distracted since he came back a few months ago. He tried to catch a female, but ended up losing his own soul.
Shi Yi was quite disdainful. "You are so obsessed with a female. You are really a disgrace to the Zerg. It's because that little female served you so well in bed that you can't leave her..."
His face turned red, "Shut up and answer my question, did you do anything to her?"
"I wanted to bring her back to please you, but that little female was too cunning and she slipped away." Shi Yi covered the wound on his broken right arm that was still bleeding, his face pale, and he sighed faintly, "Your little female didn't even have a hair injured. I almost died there. You should at least care about your third brother."
Anubia let go of him with an irritated look on her face, "Don't try to get close to me, you're not my biological child."
The Insect King has no biological offspring.
Something that all Zerg know well.
These princes under his knees are just his heirs chosen openly.
"Is it useful to capture so many females? Is he really infertile?" Anubia looked towards the palace with cold eyes.
Originally, the Zerg had no females, so they had to plunder females from the Orcs, but the Orcs were watching them very closely.
When female resources are so scarce, the females must be provided to the insect king alone.
But I can’t give birth, what a waste.
"Who knows~" Shi Yi smiled nonchalantly. He grabbed a passing Zerg, killed it without hesitation, took out the crystal core and ate it.
The severed limb of his right arm grew back to normal in the blink of an eye.
"If you really can't have children, then just change your life~"
Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Anubia with a smile, "As the third brother, I have good news for you. The little female is now near the Yashili Strait. She should not have gone far. If you want to look for her, you should be able to find her."
Anubiah lowered his head and said nothing, without any reaction, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Before leaving, Shi Yi bumped into his shoulder.
"She said she missed you very much~"
When the plague entered the palace, Anubiah disappeared instantly.
……
Ahiri Strait.
The vast coastline was gradually left behind.
"It's such a long distance, how long will it take to get there?" Sang Luo sat down on the ground, took out a cowhide bottle and drank a few sips of water. Her feet were sore from walking.
Duotu laughed and said, "Who told you to run so far? It will take at least two days to travel."
Sang Luo wanted to refute him, saying that she could directly jump back through space, but she didn't want him to ask her how she got this innate ability, so she curled her lips and said, "I don't believe that His Royal Highness, the prince of the empire, can't send someone to pick us up."
"The military district is very busy and can't transfer any manpower. Don't bother others with such a small matter."
"...Hmph." Don't think she can't see that he just wants to stay alone with her outside for a few more days.
"You're tired of walking. Can I carry you?"
"No, that's corny. I'm not a child."
Before she could finish, Duotu picked her up by the waist and walked away very easily.
Sang Luoxu put his arms around his neck, leaned against his chest, and couldn't help but sigh - this man is really tall, agile and strong.
When it got late, Duotu took her to a cave to rest.
The cave was cleaned up in advance. He held Sang Luo on a smooth stone, squatted down and rubbed her feet, and whispered, "You are really delicate. You have only walked a dozen miles and your feet are already covered with blisters. I don't know how you ran so far!"
"Secret." Sang Luo asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"
"Have."
Duotu usually handles paperwork and often carries these things with him. He took out a pen and paper from the space and handed them to her, "What are you going to do?"
"I encountered Zerg in the sea. Some of them are amphibious and can enter the sea. They also plundered females from the sea creatures, but this time the robbery was different from the past. They seemed to be planning to... sacrifice the females? I saw that they were using this kind of formation. Take a look." Sang Luo drew the formation and handed it to him.
Duotu took the paper and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened, "A kind of living sacrifice formation that has long been banned, using death to nurture new life. They actually want to sacrifice the lives of these females to the rules and give birth to offspring for the legendary Insect King."
Sang Luo was shocked for a while before he said, "This formation is so cruel, who created it?"
"The living sacrifice formation was originally created by some king beasts who had lost their lineage. In order to leave themselves an heir, they wanted to sacrifice their own lives to obtain pure-blooded offspring. Originally, this was a matter of mutual consent, but soon someone discovered that if a female with the power of reproduction was used as a sacrifice, and her own blood was used as a sacrifice, offspring could also be born. Moreover, the higher the fertility and the more females there were, the greater the success rate."
"In those years, many females disappeared from the empire and were sold on the black market. Later, when the royal family found that things were getting out of control, they finally ordered this formation to be a taboo. Unexpectedly, it was obtained by these Zerg..."
"You were captured by the Zerg and almost sacrificed?" His voice was tight.
Sang Luo, "It's true that I was captured, but it wasn't that tragic. I escaped."
Duotu was silent for a long time, then reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, feeling quite relieved that he had survived the disaster.
He really didn't know what she had encountered during this period...
His voice became harsher, "Next time, don't run away without saying a word!"
"All right."
Sang Luo agreed verbally very quickly, but Duotu knew that she was not as honest as she said. Sighing, there was probably no man in the world who could really control her heart.
"This part of the sea is not within my jurisdiction, but I will send an envoy to inform the beast king there. You can rest assured and don't worry about other things."
"Okay." Sang Luo snuggled in his arms, feeling physically exhausted.
Duotu changed into beast form and lay on its side on the ground, allowing her to sleep on its softest belly.
Sang Luo touched his soft and smooth golden fur and sighed, "Your beast mother is really a female angel."
"Well, how do you know?"
"Caesar mentioned it to me at that time." Duotu said "hmm" lightly.
Sang Luo said in a muffled voice, "Why can't I find any trace of angel blood in you?"
Duotu was embarrassed. Fortunately, he was in beast form now. "I, I haven't awakened the bloodline of the angel race..."
A hybrid born king beast sounds quite impressive, as if it can combine the strengths of two clans of king beasts. But in fact, it is much more difficult to awaken the inheritance of two clans of king beasts at the same time than a pure-blooded king beast. When he was born, he only awakened the inheritance of the Flame Lion clan, and did not awaken the inheritance of the Angel clan.
There is also a possibility of awakening later in life, but the possibility is extremely low. He is afraid that he will never be able to awaken the bloodline inheritance of the angel clan in this lifetime, so Duotu rarely announces his other half of his bloodline to the outside world.
The beast in the picture is extremely majestic and slender. When lying flat, it is almost six or seven meters long and two or three meters wide. It is bigger than the bed. Sang Luo can even roll on his belly!
She reached out and pinched his paw, which was bigger than his face!
I pulled his fur again. It was so soft and tender! I could tell he must have taken good care of his golden fur every day.
Duotu closed his eyes and let the little female play with him. Sang Luo was too sleepy after playing for a while, so he leaned on the golden lion's hot and broad chest, feeling safe and fell asleep soon.
The thick, long tail gently wrapped around her waist.
Duotu opened his eyes and looked at her before falling asleep.
In the morning, Sang Luo took out some dried meat from the space, and after eating, the two continued on their journey.
Although they said they were on a journey, in fact, their state was more like an outing, resting and playing for a while, and when the distance was far, Duotu would teleport with her to continue on the journey. When they passed by and saw fish in the river, they went to catch fish again.
When an orc's strength reaches the king level, his power will undergo a drastic change, and he can easily shrink his size, which is also called teleportation.
But in fact, there is an essential difference between teleportation and space jumping. The former is simply shortening the time, while the latter is traveling through space.
There is also a big difference in distance. Generally, teleportation can only achieve rapid jumps within a few dozen kilometers. But space jumps, in theory, have no space restrictions. However, Sang Luo is not very proficient in using this talent skill. She is afraid of accidentally teleporting herself to a dangerous place, so she tries not to use it.
The two of them covered more than half the distance in one day.
In the evening, Sang Luo wanted to eat grilled fish, so he took out a fat fish that he caught in the river at noon from the space and started grilling it.
With a flick of her finger, the flames instantly engulfed the firewood. She once again sighed that this fire-related talent was really convenient for cooking anytime and anywhere.
After he helped Sang Luo clean the fish, he skewered them with branches and roasted them over the fire, making them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. As soon as Sang Luo sprinkled some seasoning on them, the aroma filled his nose.
Sang Luo finished the whole fish without realizing it. He licked his lips with satisfaction, glanced at Duotu who had been busy all the time but didn't even get a bite of food, touched his stomach, and said a little embarrassedly, "Shall I catch another one for you?"
Duotu looked at her with a smile, "I'm not hungry."
He suddenly leaned forward, brushing his warm lips against hers and licking her lips with the tip of his tongue.
Sang Luo widened his eyes.
His long fingers rubbed her soft lips in an ambiguous way, and his voice was light and cheerful.
"I want to eat this, can I?"
Not far away, Anubia came over and saw the two flirting. The bouquet of flowers in his hand disappeared in an instant and he turned around and disappeared.
Sang Luo turned his head and looked outside the cave. There was no one there. Could there be a star beast nearby?
She stood up and said to Duotu, "Well, I'm going to pee."
"Ah."
Duotu changed into animal form, stretched out on the ground.
As soon as she walked out of the cave, Sang Luo was pulled over by a strong force. She opened her eyes and looked at the black-haired boy in front of her with a distant expression and thick and gorgeous looks. Before she could open her mouth, he bent down and kissed her.
It's more like a bite to vent anger than a kiss.
A smell of blood quickly spread between her lips and teeth. Sang Luo pushed him away angrily and wiped her lips. She grimaced in pain and cursed, "You're crazy!"
Anubia looked at her sullenly, said nothing, and took a step forward.
Sang took a step back.
I was so annoyed. I just chased one away, and now another one is coming?
It’s endless!
"...Are you here to settle accounts with me, or do you want to kill me?" she asked coldly, with one hand behind her back.
Seeing her fear and caution, Anubia knew that Shi Yi had deceived him. He clenched and unclenched his hands at his side, and laughed in anger, "You took my talents and abilities and wanted to get rid of me like this. It's a nice thought. Do you still remember what we didn't finish that day?"
He licked his lower lip, as if savoring the taste, "Let's make up for it tonight~"
"You've had your fun, and now you want to pay for it? No way."
Anubia was stung and jumped up, "Other males can do it, why can't I!"
As he said that, he reached out his hand and tried to pull her away forcibly.
Almost at the same time, a bullet broke through the air and pierced his arm, "Ugh!" Anubia took a few steps back after being hit, covering his injured arm, and looked at the blond man who was rushing over with a gloomy face.
Duotu's expression became even uglier. He loaded the gun and pointed it directly at his head.
"Zerg?"
Anubia turned around and looked at Sang Luo with a smile, "Your new lover is quite ruthless."
"Luoluo, come here quickly!"
Duotu gestured anxiously.
Anubiah was one step faster, teleported to Sang Luo's side, and grabbed her hand with terrifying strength. In fact, he could have taken her away directly, or used her to threaten Duotu, but he did nothing. His heart was full of sadness and anger. He pinched her chin and kissed her fiercely in front of Duotu.
Dotu's face turned pale, he teleported over and punched Anubia.
He staggered back a few steps, reached out to wipe the blood from his lips, raised his lips and smiled wickedly, "She has been marked by me, I can find her no matter where she is, you'd better keep a close eye on her."
The bullet penetrated the void, Anubiah disappeared, leaving only a space wave of energy explosion.
Sang Luo cursed in her heart, is this Zerg a dog? He bit her twice, her mouth was swollen and bleeding!
"...So this is how you got your talent for space jumping?" Duotu reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. He also realized why she was able to get from the imperial capital to the Yashili Strait in a short time.
"Well, I was taken away by the Zerg before, and I had no choice but to surrender to him. I stole his innate abilities to escape death several times." Sang Luo didn't like Anubia, but she had to admit that his innate abilities were really useful. If it happened again, she probably wouldn't let him go.
When Duotu heard this, he stopped being jealous and said, "You did the right thing!"
"Who is this Zerg?" he asked again.
"Anubia."
"So it was him." Duotu had also fallen into his trap in the past. Anubia was always cautious and careful in his actions. He would usually change into multiple images to confuse his opponents, so he had never seen him in this image before.
"Next time we meet, I will kill him!"
