Dreams

Lei Qiu poked at the fire, his eyes occasionally glancing at the lamb that Shen Nong was roasting. After swallowing his saliva, he continued, "I also heard from the previous priest that the existence of the four major tribes was when he was a child.

It is said that for unknown reasons, the four major tribes disappeared overnight, and Beast City began to change since then, and the high priest also became different from before. I don’t know what Beast City was like before it changed, but I heard some things about the past from the previous priest, and it felt much better than now.”

Shen Nong always felt that Lei Qiu's words sounded a little strange. He thought about it for a while and finally realized what was wrong. "What does "the high priest has become different from before" mean? Has the Beast City never changed the high priest until now?"

"Yes." Lei Qiu took it for granted, not feeling anything wrong at all, "The high priest is the child of the Beast God, he will not grow old."

Won't get old...

Shen Nong typed into the system, "Could it be that the other party is really the offspring of the Beast God?"

Normally, when Shen Nong asked this kind of question, he would get a "no permission" prompt. This time, the system gave a positive answer for the first time, "No, there are no gods in this world now."

"If there are no gods now, does that mean they really existed in the past?" Shen Nong asked.

The system fell silent and issued a "no permission" prompt tone.

Shen Nong understood that this was another confidential question. He did not waste time asking questions that had no answers, and concentrated on roasting the lamb while listening to Lei Qiu's chatter, "They are all orcs, but the high priest insisted on making beast slaves. Once an orc is designated as a beast slave by the high priest, he can only eat tree bark and soil all day long, and cannot rest but has to work non-stop.

The elders in the tribe who cannot hunt live better than the beast slaves. As a high priest, you shouldn’t do such a thing.”

Shen Nong nodded in agreement. This was the first time Lei Qiu received affirmation from others. He smiled and said, "No tribe around here would dare to agree with what I said, but you are not afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Nong asked back.

Lei Qiu was startled for a moment, then came to his senses after a while, and agreed with Shen Nong's words, "Yeah, what are you afraid of!"

"Priest of the Thunder Tribe, what do you want to do?" Shen Nong initially thought that the priest of the Thunder Tribe was just daring to speak and was too familiar. Now, listening to the other party's tone, he felt that it was not the case, at least not completely.

Lei Qiu was also shocked by Shen Nong's sharpness. Although he had always been outspoken before, he knew what to say and what not to say. "I can't say it. Our clan leader doesn't know."

Then he asked Shen Nong for confirmation, "Do you really think what I said is right?"

Shen Nong thought for a moment, nodded seriously, and said, "We are all orcs, with the same blood. There is no difference between who is noble and who is lowly."

Shen Nong knew that what he said was too idealistic. In the long history of the interstellar world, slavery had never really perished, from its rise to its decline and rise again. He knew that with the development of the beast world, it would come to this point sooner or later, but at least not now.

Lei Qiu only understood half of the short sentence, but he became more determined in his thoughts.

Lei Qiu looked at Shen Nong with shining eyes and said happily: "It rains a lot in summer. There will be a heavy rain tomorrow. If you are not in a hurry to return to the tribe, I will trade all your remaining goods to me. You can stay in the Lei tribe and leave after the rain stops."

Shen Nong subconsciously looked up at the sky. The clouds covered the full moon. His supernatural powers also sensed that the air was humid and a bit stuffy. It was indeed a sign of an approaching heavy rain. He readily agreed to Lei Qiu's proposal.

This saves him from having to find a way to stay.

The next day, Shen Nong was awakened by the sound of thunder and rain.

Crash--Boom--

Shen Nong nestled listlessly in Ze's arms, looking at the curtain of water formed by rain at the entrance of the cave. He didn't expect the rain to be so heavy.

"What's that noise outside?" The cave where Shen Nong and his friends lived was located at the outermost part of the Lei Tribe, very close to the exit of the Lei Tribe. In such a heavy rain, the beastmen should have stayed in the cave, but the noise made by the beastmen outside was as if the entire tribe was out.

Just as Ze was about to get up and take a look, a familiar voice came from outside the cave. It was Xiong Lei's, "Orc of the Wood Tribe, did our priest say anything to you last night?"

Xiong Lei was shirtless with a piece of tiger skin wrapped around his waist. The rain was dripping from his body, soaking the place where he was standing.

Shen Nong realized that something was wrong. He quickly recalled what Lei Qiu said last night and had a bad feeling in his heart. "He said that the high priest should not sentence the existence of beast slaves."

Xiong Lei frowned tightly and said hatefully, "I knew he hasn't forgotten it!"

"The Thunder Tribe may have to fight with the Beast City, you guys should leave quickly." Xiong Lei turned around and left quickly. When he got out of the cave, Shen Nong vaguely heard the other party shouting, "Go to the Beast City!"

The incident happened suddenly, and Shen Nong's initial plan gradually fell apart, but he did not expect that the priest of the Thunder Tribe would go to the Beast City alone to kill the high priest of the Beast City.

He quickly calmed down, thinking about what the other party suddenly said last night that there would be heavy rain. The roaring thunder outside made Shen Nong have a guess in his mind, could it be that the priest of the Lei tribe awakened his supernatural powers?

Shen Nong quickly controlled the nano camera and located the beast city. He swiped the screen twice and saw a familiar figure.

Lei Qiu stood in the heavy rain, surrounded by charred orcs lying on the ground, and many broken branches and vines. A flash of lightning flashed across the dark gray sky, and soon there was a roar of thunder. Opposite him stood a thin young man in a black robe, half of his face was handsome and the other half was covered with ugly scars.

Shen Nong knew through the camera that the man was the high priest of Beast City.

Lei Qiu was the first to move. When the lightning came, he raised his hand to the air, clenched it into a fist, and swung it at the person opposite him. The crackling sound of electric current instantly exploded in his ears.

Thunder ability.

Lei Qiu really awakened his superpowers!

Mu Qing was struck by lightning and stepped back. Instead of getting angry, he laughed, "When did you awaken your supernatural power?"

"It has always been there." Lei Qiu said, and threw another lightning bolt at Mu Qing. Mu Qing seemed to be injured and could not dodge, so he was hit again.

Shen Nong looked at the person on the screen who was struck by lightning and had no power to fight back, and couldn't help but frown. For some reason, he always felt that things would not be so simple. Moreover, up to now, Shen Nong had not seen the other party use any supernatural powers.

After a high-frequency attack, Lei Qiu saw that Mu Qing was unable to fight back, but he was not like the other orcs who fell to the ground with smoke all over their bodies after being struck by lightning. He became more and more anxious.

Shen Nong saw that Lei Qiu did not use his own special abilities, he had always used natural lightning points to attack. Mu Qing seemed to have seen through this and had been slowly maneuvering.

After a while, Shen Nong discovered that Mu Qing's pace had changed.

"Cough, cough, cough." Mu Qing coughed up blood, put his hand on the ground, and said with a sinister smile: "The time is up, now it's my turn to fight back."

Shen Nong saw that all the trees on the screen began to wither quickly, so he quickly switched the screen to full screen, which made it easier to see. With the High Priest of Beast City as the center, the trees gradually withered.

The speed was so fast that soon the trees around the Lei tribe began to wither.

Shen Nong's eyebrows jumped, and he felt panic for no reason. As if to verify his reaction to danger, the next moment, Shen Nong felt the power in his soul core being forcibly extracted from his body.

Ze also noticed something was wrong at the first moment. He noticed Shen Nong's abnormality and quickly transformed, holding Shen Nong in his arms. The wings behind him spread out, shining with dazzling golden light.

The power that was drawn away was instantly filled up, and the moment it was filled up, it was immediately drawn away again.

On the screen, Mu Qing finally used his supernatural power, and several vines and branches entangled Lei Qiu. After the lightning strike broke these deadly vines and branches, they would quickly grow again.

Such a strong spiritual power made Mu Qing hesitate for a moment. He looked up in the direction of the Lei tribe and asked Lei Qiu with a serious face: "What's coming to your tribe?"

Lei Qiu snorted coldly and ignored Mu Qing. At this moment, Mu Qing's patience was completely gone. He didn't intend to play tricks on Lei Qiu anymore. He suddenly exerted his strength and used vines to form a cage, wrapping Lei Qiu inside.

Lei Qiu's lightning strike was useless in the face of the absolutely repressive force. With a muffled "puff" sound, a vine directly drilled into Lei Qiu's brain, and then brought out a bloody soul core emitting purple light.

Shen Nong looked at this scene and subconsciously closed his eyes. But the picture was directly presented in his mind, so it was useless for him to close his eyes.

The question Mu Qing asked made Shen Nong realize what the other party had discovered.

He quickly said to Ze: "Quickly fold your wings and stop replenishing my energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nong found that his ankles were entangled by vines and his spiritual core power was once again drained away.

The cave was already full of vines. He picked up a handful of them and cut off the vines around Shen Nong, and used the golden light to help Shen Nong recover his energy again. As Shen Nong's energy recovered, there were more vines in the cave. They were so dense that they seemed to pass through their bodies and fill the entire cave.

He discovered that any energy he passed through would be absorbed by these vines, which would rapidly increase the number of vines in the cave.

The air was getting thinner and thinner, and the cave had become a natural cage. The vines grew too fast, and it took only a few seconds for Shen Nong to clear the vines around him, and he couldn't even get out of the cave.

Shen Nong knew that being able to use the vines like this meant that his ability level had probably reached the highest point. Shen Nong's energy was still being absorbed continuously, and he calmly pulled off the vines that were wrapped around him.

The vines in the cave became more and more violent. At first, they just moved quickly, trying to entangle people. Later, they turned to attack, and each attack was more fierce than the last.

The space was too small and he was worried about hurting Shen Nong, so he couldn't do anything.

However, these vines did not gain any benefit and could not get close to Ze at all.

Suddenly, Ze turned around abruptly, and the vines, seeing that they could not get any good results from Ze, began to attack Shen Nong.

Ze flew and pounced on Shen Nong, "puff" - the sound of the vines piercing into the flesh was infinitely amplified in Shen Nong's ears.

Shen Nong's spiritual core energy had been completely drained, and his head had been aching like a knife. He felt Ze pressing on him, and when he opened his eyes hazily, he saw Ze being pierced by several vines.

Warm blood dripped onto Shen Nong's cheek. He wanted to check Ze's injuries, but he couldn't move at all. It seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

select……

Shen Nong had a splitting headache and could no longer stay awake. In a trance, he saw Ze being pulled up and hung by vines, and he himself was also covered by the vines, and soon he was completely plunged into darkness.

——

It was pitch black in front of Shen Nong's eyes. He took subconscious steps and walked without direction. He didn't know how long he had walked before he saw a small white dot in front of him. He ran towards the white dot quickly. The white dot grew bigger and bigger, forming a bright light.

The dazzling light made Shen Nong raise his arms to cover his eyes. After he adjusted himself, he saw Ze Haohao appear in front of him.

Shen Nong hurried forward and said happily: "Did you choose..."

"select!"

Shen Nong's next words were interrupted by another familiar voice, the other party's tone was intimate, and when Ze heard this call again, his indifferent eyes instantly softened, and he immediately turned his head, "Priest."

Shen Nong looked up and saw a handsome figure throwing himself into Ze's arms. He wrapped his arms around Ze's neck and said loudly, "I missed you so much! Come on, I made something delicious for you, go and try it."

"Okay." Ze held the other person's hand and walked forward. He slightly turned sideways to protect the people around him.

At the moment of passing each other, Shen Nong saw the handsome man with long hair who had the same face as him.

Only then did he notice that this was not the one he spent every night with.

He exudes a murderous aura, and there is a scar on his brow.

Just as Shen Nong was wondering whether he had connected to a parallel universe, the scene before him changed again.

Fire, wherever you look there is a sea of ​​fire.

"Save the sacred tree!"

"Where are the patriarch and the priest?"

"Ah - fire! There's fire on me! Help me!"

Screams, screams, and wails came from all directions.

Shen Nong seemed to be able to feel the heat of the fire. An orc fell at his feet. He wanted to help him up, but his hands went through his body. Shen Nong looked at his hands and was stunned for a moment.

Is it a dream?

"priest!"

It is the sound of selection.

Shen Nong looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ze running in a direction in great pain. He followed Ze's gaze and saw the person who looked exactly like him turn into a speck of firefly and disappear.

"Ze" knelt where the "priest" disappeared, he covered his head in pain, the flames around him gradually became distorted. Shen Nong watched from afar, thinking that it was not good, the energy fluctuations were abnormal enough to distort space, it was going to self-destruct.

After all, Shen Nong was a step too slow. Just as his fingertips were about to touch "Ze", they were pushed away by a powerful force.

A brighter white light than before came over, Shen Nong raised his hand quickly, but found that his arm could not move, as if something was restraining it. He was unable to dodge, and the white light had already shone over him, so he closed his eyes.

In an instant, Shen Nong fell into darkness again.

【Host! Host! 】

The system's deadly series of urgings awakened Shen Nong from his chaotic consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes and found that the surroundings were pitch black and his hands and feet were still tied to wooden stakes.

Just as Shen Nong was about to ask the system where he was, he heard the creaking sound of a door being pushed open.

A moving candlelight slowly approached Shen Nong and finally stopped not far from Shen Nong.

Shen Nong looked up and saw the other person's face in the candlelight.

He is the high priest of Beast City.

Shen Nong still had a headache, so he took a look and lowered his head again, too lazy to raise it again.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Qing held the candlestick in his left hand and walked forward a few steps. He was about to lift Shen Nong's face with his hand, but before Mu Qing touched his chin, Shen Nong suddenly raised his head and stared at the scar on his face.

The candlelight reflected the inquiry and surprise in Shen Nong's eyes. Mu Qing's air pressure suddenly dropped. He subconsciously took a step back and used the vines to move the candlestick in his hand farther away, so that the half of his scarred face was hidden in the darkness.

"What are you looking at?" Mu Qing's tone was cold and contained a strong murderous intent.

[Warning, killing gods, the world will collapse. ]

"Shut up!" Mu Qing suddenly shouted.

Shen Nong looked at Mu Qing strangely. Did he say anything?

Shen Nong knew that it was impolite to stare at someone's face, but he didn't mean to irritate them. It was because he felt a familiar energy fluctuation on the scarred right face of the High Priest of the Beast City.

It is the energy fluctuations that the interstellar uses to brand slaves.

Shen Nong planned to feel it carefully. What if it was an illusion caused by the pain in his brain?

At this moment, the system "dinged" and said excitedly, "Host! I seem to have sensed a signal from another system! It's on that person!"
