Aiden was taken aback immediately, but fortunately he didn't react slowly and didn't miss the shot. He looked at Yetong and made a questioning gesture. Yetong pointed at his collar, and made a gesture of retreating and turning in.
Aiden was puzzled and glanced at the three fighters. The shoulder armor of two of them is quite eye-catching Yanyun iron cavalry, and Aiden, the family emblem of the Zhao family, still knows it.
There is also an emblem on the armor of the third person, and Aiden can't recognize it, but he doesn't think it's important. He doesn't know it, it can only show that the family of this person is not very good, at least not strong enough to let him go. The point where Ai Ji lived.
Aiden was quite puzzled, he didn't think it was a big deal to kill two soldiers from the Zhao Clan. But Yetong made another gesture of retreating and turning in, and Aiden stopped insisting.
After all, this trip was still mainly about Yetong in name, and although his level was higher than Yetong, it was only temporary. In terms of blood, native species like Yetong are still above him, and Yetong has not been awakened for a few years, and is in a period of rapid growth in strength. It will not take long for his level to catch up with him. As for resources, Yetong, who has received the attention of the Eternal Night Council, will not lack resources at all.
The two left quietly, and the three camp soldiers didn't know that they were walking back and forth on the verge of death.
After getting a little farther away, Aiden finally couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to withdraw?"
"That's from the Zhao Clan."
Aiden was even more puzzled, "I know they are members of the Zhao Clan, and their status seems to be quite low. But shouldn't this kill them all the more?"
"Don't you think we killed a little too many Zhao Clan fighters?"
"What does it matter? The Zhao Clan is one of the four powerful clans of the empire, our great enemy, and now is a good time to weaken them. Didn't your brother, Viscount Aaron, also die at the hands of Zhao Clan, that Zhao Qianye? ?"
Upon hearing Aaron's name, subtle pain flashed in Yetong's eyes, and he acted as if nothing had happened. She didn't speak, just walked silently.
Aiden realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."
Yetong sighed softly, and said, "As a descendant of the Monroe clan, dying in battle is the most honorable way to return to the river of holy blood."
"I agree."
After running silently for a while, Yetong seemed to cheer up a bit, and said, "Didn't you notice that the number of people we met in the past two days has begun to increase? It seems that we are approaching the center of this area. The twin stars of the empire are all in Zhao Well, when we get to the bones of the giant beasts, we will definitely meet them. Don’t you think it’s better for us not to fight them first?”
Aiden suddenly understood, nodded and said: "That's true! It's best to let those nerubians and werewolves take the lead. If it doesn't work, other clans in our ethnic group can do it."
Qianye and Zhao Jundu's record is truly astonishing. Now in this strange world where the original force is suppressed, it is unknown how high their combat power will be. But I also know that he must be much better than ordinary people. Even if Aiden has a level advantage, it is not necessary, and he is unwilling to confront them head-on. It would be best if someone else could rush forward and serve as cannon fodder to consume their strength.
At this point, Aiden seemed to understand what Yetong meant. If they killed too many Zhao Clan fighters, they would be discovered by Qianye and Zhao Jundu sooner or later. At that time, it will most likely be found first at the skeleton of the giant beast.
As for Aiden's true thoughts, no one knows.
The two continued to search and move forward, hunting and killing the powerful empire, while cautiously exchanging information with other explorers of Yong Ye Fang. Occasionally encountering strong men of the lieutenant general level of the empire, they can also successfully avoid them by virtue of their vision and concealment advantages.
If a whole day passed, even if the two were geniuses on Yong Ye's side, they still felt very tired, so they stopped in tacit understanding, one kept watch and the other rested.
"Yetong?" It was Aiden's turn to rest, but he seemed to be preoccupied and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Without looking back, Yetong asked, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that the Holy Son has made another move, all aimed at you. This time he has mobilized almost all his forces, and he is bound to win."
"I know." Yetong's voice was calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.
"The news I got is that Her Majesty Lilith just said that you can freely decide your own path after you get the ancient essence, and she will not interfere. But her non-interference does not mean that other members of the Pass clan, or even others The clan will not make a move. The Holy Son's action this time is to get ahead of others and force you to submit."
"I know."
"This strange world is the best place to act."
This time, Yetong didn't make a sound, but remained silent.
Aiden sighed, and said: "I may speak more bluntly, and I hope you don't take it to heart. Frankly speaking, I don't think you can escape Edward's control this time. I have known him for hundreds of years, and I am very happy." Understand his character. Edward never does anything he is not sure of, and now that he has placed such a heavy bet, he must have full confidence. How about you, how are you going to deal with it?"
"I have my own way." Nighteye said flatly.
"You have a solution?" Aiden smiled helplessly, and continued: "We have been fighting side by side for so many days, and I know you a little bit. And after the council assigned me this task, I also read all your information If you really had a way, you wouldn't say that, but countered Edward directly."
Yetong remained silent, just looking into the depths of the fog.
Aiden sighed again, "I have already said this far, you must know what I mean. Now, on behalf of Abyss of Darkness, I am sending you a formal invitation. When you are willing or have no choice, welcome Join us. The Abyss of Darkness will provide you with shelter, even if the pressure comes from the Queen of the Night, we can bear it."
Yetong smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked, "Am I worth so much now? Is this the meaning of the Abyss of Darkness, or the meaning of the Council?"
"At least it has been approved by the supreme being on the holy mountain."
Aiden's words startled Yetong slightly, and he glanced at him. On the holy mountain, the supreme existence of one of the seven peaks is the peak of the entire dark world. She was silent for a while and asked, "What do you want from me? Marriage?"
"No, you need to provide us with a drop of source blood every ten years, but it only needs to last for three hundred years."
Yetong smiled and said, "This condition is really unbelievably loose."
A drop of source blood every ten years has a great impact on the improvement of Yetong's strength, but it will not stop there. Compared to the long lifespan of a high-level blood race, three hundred years is from youth to middle age. Judging from Yetong's promotion speed after awakening, she still has a little possibility of being promoted to prince, but the hope of being crowned has been cut off.
However, becoming the crowned blood prince, and even lighting up the blood mark of the river of holy blood, is it easier said than done to become the first ancestor? For thousands of years, how many amazing and brilliant geniuses have appeared in the twelve ancient clans, and it is not uncommon for them to have blood purity similar to that of Yetong, but in the end? How many geniuses have grown up to become ordinary in the end, not many even become grand dukes.
For thousands of years, only Habs can light up the blood mark.
Therefore, for Yetong, what this transaction paid was only the hope of the future, and the hope was too slim, so the price was not too high. As for where the origin blood paid is used, it is not important.
The origin blood of the blood clan has a wide range of uses. The power of blood contained in it and the special effect of stimulating vitality can be made into a sharp weapon for life-saving in various crises, and it is suitable for all races. Moreover, a drop of original blood in ten years cannot be used to create descendants, and Yetong doesn't have to worry about his blood inheritance being manipulated.
"I'll consider it," Yetong said. As for how sincere her words were, and how much she responded out of politeness, only she knew.
Aiden nodded, and said: "The situation may be worse than you think. After His Royal Highness Habs successfully lit up the blood mark, as far as I know, the minds of many ancient figures of the blood race began to move. And in all the current Among the awakened native species, the ancestral blood on your body is the drop closest to the blood mark."
The words have come to this point, Aiden will not say more, I believe Yetong will understand. At this moment, his original force had recovered, he stood up, and continued to move forward with Yetong.
Both of them can clearly locate the direction of the skeleton of the giant beast, but after they figure out some rules of this strange world, they are not in a hurry to go to the skeleton of the giant beast. Instead, taking advantage of the favorable environment, they hunted and killed more enemies on the side of the empire. Therefore, their advance route turned left and right, and sometimes they even walked back, sweeping the surrounding area all the way, and slowly approaching the core area where the skeleton of the giant beast was located.
After walking for another half a day, Yetong suddenly quickened his pace and ran towards a big tree in the distance. Aiden knew that her field of vision was still above his own, so he must have discovered something, so he followed immediately while keeping an eye on both sides.
Yetong ran under the big tree, there didn't seem to be anything unusual here. But she reached out and caressed the trunk, frowning in silence. Aiden also came over, glanced at the trunk, tapped lightly again, and said, "There are traces of battle here. Those small damages should be caused by impact."
After all, Aiden scraped off another small piece from a dry stain, tried it on the tip of his tongue, frowned, and said, "Strigoi, and it's your Monroe's blood."
Ye Tong suddenly pulled out his sword, bloody rays of light glowed on the blade, and he cut through the purple matrix under the tree. After the matrix was removed, the bloody light on the blade seemed to be spiritual, flying around, adhering to the incision of the matrix, and eroding continuously.
The blood aura shot out by Yetong seemed to be particularly powerful, and quickly eroded away the matrix, revealing an open space under the tree. The soil is covered with dense holes, and the purple substrate should be gushing from these holes. Now the blood gas has eroded away the matrix on the surface, and it also penetrates all the way underground along the holes.
Aiden next to him had a complicated expression. He also tried to corrode the matrix with magic energy, but the effect was far inferior to Yetong's blood energy. The demonic energy of the demons, especially the demonic energy of the Abyss family, has always been known for its strong and corrosive effect. However, even with Aiden's aptitude, it is difficult to deal with the matrix. The matrix here seems to be born with strong resistance and devouring properties to all kinds of energy substances.
But Yetong's blood energy was hardly affected by the matrix, and he swept all the way until it was exhausted.
Aiden could see clearly that this was not a difference in the quantity of the original force, but a difference in the essence of the original force.
This strange matrix is a natural detection stone. In front of it, the nature of the original force is clear at a glance. Even if the Duke and Marquis are here, if the force is heterogeneous and impure and far away from the source, then no matter how powerful the force is, it will have little impact on the matrix, and it may even be swallowed in reverse.
After the matrix was removed, no bones were exposed. Not to mention flesh and blood, even bones will be corroded by the matrix in a short time. But there are always some things that the matrix can't eliminate, such as some metal or special materials that are exposed now, including Monroe's badge.
Yetong picked up the badge, his face changed slightly. This kind of badge is made of special material, and it is the identity proof of outstanding figures in a few clans. She turned over the badge, saw the name engraved on the back, finally sighed softly, and said, "This is Almu."
