Pei Qiqi was sobbing softly.
Nie Tian was startled and stared at her blankly, listening attentively.
"Dad, mom..."
He vaguely heard Pei Qiqi, who was crying, calling for her parents.
It's like a little girl who sees her parents about to leave and begs helplessly, hoping that their parents can stay.
At this moment, Pei Qiqi lost her usual coldness and strength and looked extremely weak.
Her tears were like broken beads, sliding down her cheeks, sad and beautiful.
Her crying did not last long, and she soon woke up from the nightmare.
After waking up, she immediately noticed that Nie Tian was looking at her, and the helpless and delicate look on her face instantly disappeared.
The next moment, her expression became as cold as a knife, and her eyes were full of coldness.
But the tears in the corners of her eyes were still flowing out slowly, and they were still sliding down slowly.
She took out a white handkerchief, glanced to one side, and silently wiped away her tears.
But her state of mind was still not out of the nightmare. She was still thinking about the scenes in her dream, and her tears still flowed uncontrollably.
She could only keep wiping it.
For some reason, Nie Tian suddenly felt a little heartbroken when he looked at her at this moment.
"Your parents?" Nie Tian asked softly.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Pei Qiqi said coldly.
Nie Tian suddenly fell silent. After a while, he sighed and said with a bitter look on his face: "I have never met my parents."
As soon as these words came out, a strong feeling of sadness filled Nie Tian's heart.
He remembered what had happened to him.
Pei Qiqi, who turned her head away and deliberately did not look at him, twitched her nose and fluttered her long eyelashes when she heard this. She finally looked at him and asked in a much gentler tone than usual: "You too?"
"My mother passed away not long after I was born. As for my father... I still don't know who he is." Nie Tian said indifferently.
At this moment, Nie Tian's whole body revealed the same sadness and sourness as hers.
She stared at Nie Tian quietly for a long time, and then said softly: "Nine out of ten things in life are not going to be what you want them to be. But when you talk to people, they are always the same. The world is so cruel, and the path to pursue strength will never be fulfilled. There is no end. If you want to get something, you must give up something."
"What my parents gave up was family love."
After saying this, she closed her eyes again and had no intention of continuing to communicate with Nie Tian.
"Family love..." Nie Tian chewed on her words, his heart filled with bitterness, and nodded gently, "Maybe. What we value may be what they have to give up."
He thought of his father, whom he knew nothing about and had never been masked, and wondered why that man would abandon his mother and not show up for more than ten years
From the moment the life bloodline awakened in his body, he knew that his father... was an extraordinary person.
Because in the history of the Nie family, there has never been any ancestor with a magical bloodline.
The continuation of the life bloodline in him means that his father is the source of the bloodline.
A person with such a strong bloodline cannot be an ordinary person. Such a being should be able to protect his wife and heirs.
But he never showed up.
Just because he never showed up, Nie Tian had been looked at strangely and treated differently in the Nie family since he was a child.
Except for his grandfather and aunt, no one in the Nie family truly treated him as one of their own.
It was because of this that, in order to find a sense of presence, he would challenge peers like Nie Hong and Nie Yuan again and again, and by defeating them, he would prove that there was still him in the Nie family.
"One day, if I meet you, I will definitely ask you questions!" Nie Tian secretly felt cruel.
Although he had never told anyone, he knew that he had always had feelings for that person.
His efforts and pursuit of strength and realm over the years were just to have enough confidence and strength to question that person face to face when he saw him one day.
Pei Qiqi's cry made him, who was also an orphan, feel the same.
He looked straight into his heart and gradually realized that he had always been deeply resentful towards that person.
The turmoil in his heart could not calm down for a long time. It took him a long time to calm down little by little and no longer think about that person's abandonment of their mother and son, or... betrayal.
Unable to concentrate on training anymore, he took out a large piece of Golden Rock Rhinoceros meat, roasted it, tore it hard, and devoured it with gnashing teeth to vent his inner anger.
A few days later.
Nie Tian roasted the last large piece of Golden Rock Rhino meat and swallowed it. Light smoke evaporated from his body, and wisps of sticky substance overflowed from his open pores.
Every time he eats, he needs nearly a hundred kilograms of animal meat. This means that even thousands of kilograms of golden rock rhinoceros cannot withstand his heavy consumption.
When the last piece of flesh was absorbed, all the heavy injuries caused by the battle between him and Li Langfeng had been fully recovered.
The burst tendons have long been reconnected and become stronger, and the cracked bones have become tight and tight, even stronger and more indestructible than before.
When he circulates the power of the spiritual sea, various spiritual powers of different attributes flow smoothly through his veins without any stagnation.
He immediately understood that not only had his physical wounds been completely healed, but his body had also become stronger.
But the cyan blood energy entrenched in his heart has not yet been replenished by more flesh and blood essence energy. It has not even made up for the loss of his limbs before, let alone reached the level where the bloodline has advanced again.
He knew that only the flesh and blood of spiritual beasts could bring abundant flesh and blood essence.
There are many powerful spiritual beasts in the Huankong Mountains. If he wants to advance his bloodline and awaken new bloodline talents, he can only achieve this by killing those spiritual beasts.
In his spiritual sea, the condensed star liquid of the star vortex also needs to be realized in the Fantasy Mountains, not in the City of Destruction.
He made a decision quickly.
After helping Pei Qiqi and finally baking a piece of animal meat, he suddenly asked: "How is your situation?"
"Spiritual power has been restored, but it may take some time for flesh and blood to be damaged." Pei Qiqi said lightly.
Since the last time Nie Tian saw her crying in a nightmare, after Nie Tian opened his heart and explained his own experience, the distance between the two seemed to have become much closer.
In recent days, whenever Nie Tian roasted animal meat for her and she was tearing it apart gracefully, she would talk to Nie Tian.
She helped Nie Tian explain in detail the various peculiarities of the Sky Split, the complex areas of the Fantasy Sky Mountains, and the overt and covert struggles of the three major forces.
"I'm leaving." Nie Tian said softly.
"Leaving?" Pei Qiqi was obviously surprised, "Where are you going?"
"I want to hunt spiritual beasts." Nie Tian replied, and added: "In addition, I need to practice in the Fantasy Mountains. This place is more suitable for me. I hope to stay here for a while and then return to Destruction City."
"This is unwise." Pei Qiqi frowned.
"I know." Nie Tiandao.
Pei Qiqi looked at him deeply, pondered for a long time, handed him a detailed map, and pointed out a location to him, "I have explored here, and there are many low-level spiritual beasts living here. Those spiritual beasts There should be no one above level four, you may be able to kill them."
She then pointed to the location of the Blood Skull's stronghold, "You are the guest of the Blood Skeleton. As long as you pay enough spirit stones, you can use it to return to the City of Destruction."
"No, I will not return to Destruction City from Blood Skull." Nie Tian shook his head.
Pei Qiqi didn't know why and said: "When I fully recover, I will find an area suitable for placing the teleportation array in the Fantasy Mountains. You can go back with me. I won't accept your spiritual stones."
"No need." Nie Tian shook his head again. "After I capture enough spirit beasts, I will cross the Fantasy Mountains alone, pass through the wilderness where the hunters roam, and return to the city through that road."
Pei Qiqi's face changed slightly, "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"That road is full of blood and fighting. With your current level, it doesn't seem to be enough. If you insist on doing this, you may never come back to Destroyed City."
"If I can't come back, I will die outside."
Pei Qiqi was shocked.
She looked at Nie Tian carefully, and after a while, she nodded gently, "I wish you success."
Then, she took out the token from the storage ring and helped Nie Tian open the barrier to pass.
"Take care of yourself too." After saying these words, Nie Tian jumped up and rushed out of the barrier.
"This man is as crazy as Li Langfeng at heart, maybe even more so." After he left, Pei Qiqi said to herself secretly.
Give up the most convenient and safe teleportation array, and choose the bloodiest path of return!
When Nie Tian rushed out, the coldness and stubbornness on his face left a deep shadow in her heart.
"He is also a poor person." She sighed.
She felt that Nie Tian, like Li Langfeng, had reasons to be strong.
For that reason, the path Nie Tian chose was not fundamentally different from Li Langfeng.
Li Langfeng absorbed the filthy spiritual energy and used it to suit his poisonous skills. He did not hesitate to let other impurities poison his body, excessively destroying himself, and paying the price of early death in exchange for strength.
As for Nie Tian, his behavior in devouring the flesh of the spirit beasts in the Huankong Mountains was exactly the same as Li Langfeng's.
She seemed to have a premonition that on the day when Nie Tian was at his most powerful, he would appear briefly like a comet, and then suddenly die without making a sound again.
For some reason, thinking that that day would eventually come, she still felt a little sad and regretful.
