Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 37 Tang Zheng, I Never Considered You a Friend
The ninth rabbit said that the fifth rabbit would never come back once he left...
Tang Zheng turned around with a "swoosh", and he and Fang Junji attacked a rabbit in front of Jiang Wuyan almost at the same time!
The five rabbits never came back.
That rabbit was the fifth rabbit that appeared.
What is a dream? This kind of thing is not completely controllable, so some real things in the subconscious mind sometimes appear unconsciously in dreams.
As soon as the rabbit was killed, a faint shadow emerged from the rabbit's body.
Then, all the rabbits turned into a wisp of smoke and merged into the body of the monster.
Then a huge demonic fire rose up and wrapped the monster.
Tang Zheng was about to rush over to test the huge ball of demonic fire, but was stopped by Xu Qingyan.
"The true body of Dream Mirage is about to completely enter this dream." Xu Qingyan said.
"What do you mean?" The other three people were puzzled.
"It takes three steps for a dream mirage to enter its own dream. The first step is control, the second step is spirit, and the third step is entity. The more energy it absorbs in the first two steps, the stronger its combat power in the dream. However... we destroyed its carrier when it was halfway in. It can only consume more energy to break into this dream." Xu Qingyan said.
"Do you want to stop it from coming in completely?" Tang Zheng still didn't quite understand what Xu Qingyan was saying, so he just asked about the result.
"No, we can't stop it." Xu Qingyan still held Tang Zheng, preventing him from touching the evil fire.
"Then what can we do?" Jiang Wuyan looked at the ball of demonic fire that was growing bigger and bigger, as if it was about to spread across the prairie.
"Wait." Xu Qingyan spread out his hands.
The feeling of waiting is never pleasant.
Moreover, Tang Zheng has not forgotten that Du Qixi's beauty bathing umbrella has a time limit for protecting the wounded.
But since Xu Qingyan said to wait, there is no need to be impatient.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Take advantage of this time to heal your wounds and rest."
The injuries they sustained when fighting those rabbits just now seemed to have shaken their star veins.
However, Xu Qingyan actually said that the dream mirage had not yet completely come in!
Is that mirage so big that it is so difficult to squeeze into a dream?
The grassland in front of the assassin's castle had not yet returned to daylight, but Tang Zheng and his companions did not dare to waste time and immediately began to heal their wounds and rest.
Tang Zheng, who was recovering from his injuries, glanced at Fang Junji.
He sat quietly on the ground, with his right knee bent and his right hand casually placed on his knee, looking up at the gray starry sky.
Just when Tang Zheng wanted to ask him why he didn't heal his wounds, Xu Qingyan sat down next to Tang Zheng: "Don't you really have anything to ask me?"
Tang Zheng looked at Xu Qingyan in surprise.
What?
Xu Qingyan actually took the initiative to say such words!
"If you don't want to talk about it, I don't mind..." Tang Zheng really had no interest in a man's gossip.
However, just as he said this, Xu Qingyan stretched out a hand and interrupted him.
interrupt?
Tang Zheng said "Huh?", very surprised.
After being with Xu Qingyan for such a long time, it is really rare for him to interrupt me.
"I want to say something today." Xu Qingyan uttered these six words.
"Uh... now? Here?" Tang Zheng laughed, "I would have thought I was dreaming..."
"It doesn't matter. After you finish listening, just think you are dreaming." Xu Qingyan stared at the huge demonic fire without blinking, "We still have about half a quarter of an hour to talk."
"Okay, go ahead and talk." Tang Zheng felt that Xu Qingyan was very strange today, but he still let him talk first before asking.
Tang Zheng watched Xu Qingyan move a little, and first raised his own constellation.
Two-headed Tibetan Mastiff, three stars.
Tang Zheng took a look and really couldn't see any problem.
However, immediately, the two-headed Tibetan mastiff constellation behind Xu Qingyan slowly split into four parts, and then gradually gathered together again...
Tang Zheng's eyes widened, and when he saw the taking shape, his first reaction was to look at Fang Junji and Jiang Wuyan behind him.
Fang Junji seemed to know something and did not turn around to look at them.
Jiang Wuyan was just like Tang Zheng, his eyes were even wider than his...
Behind Xu Qingyan, the stars that had shattered and re-condensed turned out to be four demonic fires!
"Tang Zheng, you don't have to pretend to be so surprised. Even Instructor Zou can doubt me, not to mention that with your observation skills, you should have seen clues in some things a long time ago." Xu Qingyan looked at Tang Zheng expressionlessly, "But what I want to say now is that I am a pure human being. I am not a demon, and I never have been!"
"Uh... cough cough cough." Tang Zheng touched the back of his head, "I feel that if I didn't react when you made such an astonishing move, it would be too disrespectful..."
Don was joking.
However, there was still no smile on Xu Qingyan's face.
He stretched out his hand and cut his hand with his long sword...
This time, Tang Zheng's smile really froze on his face.
The blood flowing out of Xu Qingyan's body was actually a light blue.
Tang Zheng had seen Xu Qingyan injured before, but his blood was clearly red, so how come it turned blue now?
He must be dreaming!
"I was born in a small village in the Liuyun family." Xu Qingyan talked a lot today. He stared at the huge demonic fire and said, "The village was far away from the war. The neighbors were kind and peaceful. Until one day, a three-star warrior who passed by the village massacred the entire village because of an argument with a child in the village. Not a single person was left..."
The night sky was silent, and Xu Qingyan's voice was very clear.
Tang Zheng, Jiang Wuyan and the others also fell silent along with the night sky.
"A three-star warrior, in a small village like that, is a powerful and unattainable . The entire village, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, did not even take off a piece of his clothes. When he killed me with a sword... I was about the same size as a small bell." Xu Qingyan's voice was calm, as if he was talking about Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Ermaizi.
However, Tang Zheng was looking at the four bright demonic fires behind him, not knowing what expression would be more appropriate.
Xu Qingyan continued: "Southern Xinjiang is different from Northern Xinjiang because it is far away from the battlefield. Therefore, there is a half-demon in the village. Of course, the half-demon has no fighting power and cannot save the people in the village. Moreover, he is too old. He is almost two hundred years old and can hardly walk. When the battle was over, he slowly moved out of the house and happened to see me who was still half alive..."
Tang Zheng and Jiang Wuyan both pricked up their ears.
Obviously, the following is the main point that Xu Qingyan wants to say.
Xu Qingyan did not take a breath and continued speaking...
"In fact, he is the son of a very powerful human warrior and a beautiful half-demon girl. If he was a pure demon, he would have a chance to reach the level of demon king! However, he is only a half-demon and he has no way to practice in his life. However, when he saw me dying, he used his half-demon characteristics to save me - he gave all his blood to me without leaving a single drop!"
"Even if a half-demon can't practice, its body's ability to recover is much stronger than that of a human. What would be a near-fatal wound to a human can be quickly healed by the blood of a half-demon. I lay there for three days and three nights, and finally recovered my ability to move..."
"Before I left the village, I was at a loss. During those days, I ate the rotten food in the village and drank water contaminated by blood. When I found that my body had completely adapted and I didn't feel any discomfort, I panicked again. I was afraid that I had turned into a demon."
"It was not until I lit up my constellation and successfully introduced the first star that I felt relieved. I am still a human being, a normal person who is no different from other people."
"I started to wander around, both inside and outside the border. I basically went to all the places I could go to, and I also tried to go to the places I couldn't go to. I went to many places because I wanted to find a territory that hadn't been divided into different territories. I hoped to build a paradise there where humans, monsters, and half-monsters could coexist..."
"But no. All the territories within the borders have been clearly divided by the fiefdom order, and the same is true for those outside the borders. I have lived outside the borders for four years, and there are clear boundaries between different tribes. There is no empty space to be found."
After hearing this, Tang Zheng understood a little.
When Xu Qingyan met him for the first time, his request for cooperation was that he wanted to establish a family.
To be honest, he had doubted whether Xu Qingyan was a demon, but now it seemed that he was indeed a human being, and a relatively pure human from the hinterland of Xinjiang.
He also had times when he felt overwhelmed, confused and panicked.
He is not some strategy bacteria, he is a living person.
And all the vast and complicated things he knew were not dropped from the sky by some miracle, but were acquired step by step and recorded day by day.
"So, do you trust me so much?" Tang Zheng touched his nose. "Even if I established a noble family, I wouldn't necessarily help you realize the coexistence of humans, demons, and half-demons, right? After all, demons are ferocious and difficult to tame..."
"Oh, by that time, I will kill you. Of course, not necessarily you, but also Lan Shaoze. When you can't help me complete my plan, I have the ability and confidence to kill you..." There was a gleam of longing in Xu Qingyan's eyes that Tang Zheng had never seen in him before.
But what's the rhythm?
Suddenly he said, "Ah, Tang Zheng, I want to talk to you," and then the final conclusion was, "I am confident that I can kill you."
Did Xu Qingyan's brain collapse, or did his entire body collapse?
"Aren't you friends?" Jiang Wuyan was a little confused, and it felt like his worldview was a little shaky.
"Friends?" Xu Qingyan sneered, "No, we have never been friends. We agreed from the beginning in Wuqing Mountain that this is a deal."
Tang Zheng said "Oh" in confusion.
At this time, Fang Junji, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "In fact, there ! I have read all the enfeoffment orders of the eighty-one families. After putting them together, there is a blank area."
However, Xu Qingyan did not ask him which part was blank, and stood up directly: "Almost done... Let's get out of this dream first, and then continue!"
As Xu Qingyan's voice fell, the ball of demonic fire in front of them also happened to burst into light, revealing the true appearance of the dream mirage demon inside...
