Chapter 177
Back in the cave, Su An took the healing and restoring potion and meditated.
There were one or twenty giant beasts sitting outside the cave. Su An didn't have to worry about anyone rushing into the cave. He could practice with peace of mind.
A whole day passed, and Su An recovered as before, full of force and energetic, and all kinds of wounds on his body disappeared.
Opening her eyes, Su An saw Zheng Nanzhi still meditating with his eyes closed. The force flow was normal and smooth, as if he had fully recovered.
Su An stood up, walked two steps in the cave to stretch his body, and made some noise. However, Zheng Nanzhi didn't seem to hear it, and still sat upright, motionless.
Su An leaned in front of the other person's face and observed it for a while. Zheng Nanzhi still didn't react at all, but the slight trembling of his eyelashes did not escape Su An's eyes.
He simply stared at the beautiful face with red lips and stared at it motionlessly. As expected, Zheng Nanzhi's cheeks gradually turned red, as if they were about to burn.
But she was still trying to stay calm and pretended not to feel anything. It looked like she was practicing steadily, but in fact, there were slight fluctuations in the operation of the Force.
Of course Su An knew what was going on with Zheng Nanzhi, he was shy.
Thinking of the words and actions the other party had said and done before when he thought he was going to die, Su An's smile couldn't help but widen.
As Su An expected, Zheng Nanzhi's heart was in turmoil at this moment.
"What should I do, what should I do, how should I face him now? Should I pretend that nothing happened, or should I pretend that nothing happened? Oh my god, if he mentions those words to me, how should I deal with it?
"What if he refuses? Will he become more indifferent and alienated from me because of this? It was already fine before, and everyone has become his own person. Why should I tell him that? How will it end now?!
"What should I do if he laughs at me? Should I run away? Yes, I should run away, far away... Wow, I'm too embarrassed to see anyone, so I'd better run away, that's it. !”
As she thought about it, Zheng Nanzhi couldn't help but feel so confused that her breathing became rapid. If she could dig a hole in the ground, she would have dug it in. Now she wanted to take out a rope and hang herself directly.
Don't look at the fact that she was always teasing Su An and teasing her in various ways, but it was just a joke. It was an interaction made when she knew Su An would not pay attention to it, and no one took it seriously.
But those words when he was seriously injured were different.
That was cutting open the heart and lungs and speaking the truth, revealing true feelings and confessing without reservation. Zheng Nanzhi has never done such a thing in his life, nor has he experienced such a scene. How can he still have the face to stand in front of Su An?
When he thought of the last sentence "hug me", Zheng Nanzhi wanted to bury his head in the soil.
Finally, Zheng Nanzhi took a deep breath and decided to fight with the courage to fight the demon to the death!
She opened her eyes and ignored Su An who was squatting in front of her and looking at her playfully. She stood up straight and spoke quickly: "Now that you are safe, you can explore the ruins by yourself. Well, I have something else to do." , take the first step.”
As he spoke, Zheng Nanzhi kept looking straight ahead, pretending not to be moved by any teasing or taunting, and walked toward the cave with quick little steps.
In the short distance of more than ten meters, she managed to break out of the momentum of a hundred meters of acceleration. When she came to the cave, she was already walking very fast. Apart from the description of haste, she couldn't see any flaws.
But before she even got out of the cave, she stumbled on a rock under her feet, staggering and almost falling on the spot. In an instant, her face turned red to the roots of her ears, and she was so embarrassed that she forgot to breathe, and she stepped out with her long legs. To run away.
But he couldn't make it.
Su An pulled her from behind.
Zheng Nanzhi's delicate body froze, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly struggled to get rid of Su An's hand. He shook it twice, but found that he couldn't open it no matter what, and his voice was so chaotic that he couldn't help but raise his voice:
"You, you, please let me go, I do have something to do, I really have to leave, please let me go..."
She was as anxious as a rabbit with its tail burned off. She almost jumped up and down. She felt like there were several deer bumping around in her heart, and there were tears in her eyes.
The next moment, Zheng Nanzhi felt an irresistible and huge force coming from him.
When she came to her senses, she had fallen into Su An's solid chest and raised her head to meet Su An's sunny and handsome face. Before she could even exclaim, she had already lowered her head and kissed him fiercely.
For a moment, Zheng Nanzhi opened his clear eyes wide, and his whole body seemed to be swept by electricity. He was suddenly excited, and his mind went blank. He forgot everything and could not remember anything. He felt like he was soaking in a hot spring under the sun, and his limbs were limp. I couldn't help but lie down.
......
In a certain cave in the main peak of the ruins, the Holy Envoy received a report from his subordinates and frowned slightly:
"So Xiao Xinghuai also missed? He has a level 10 cultivation level, and there are many monks around him. How could he not catch a mere level 5 demon? Even if he couldn't catch it, how could he die?"
A long time passed, but Xiao Xinghuai did not return. His men took the initiative to go out to investigate, but found nothing. Both groups, including Su An, disappeared without a trace.
This is where things got weird.
If Su An disappears, it is possible that he is alive. If Xiao Xinghuai disappears, the only possibility is death. If not, the other party has many ways to contact them.
The old man in black robe shook his head and said nothing. Even though he was famous for his wisdom, he couldn't figure out anything at the moment.
According to common sense, the most likely scenario is that Su An is rescued by a human transcendent, but a transcendent who can kill Xiao Xinghuai's team and prevent Xiao Xinghuai from even escaping must have a strong number. Quite a few.
But the monk who went out to investigate the situation just said that there were no traces of large-scale activities of extraordinary people nearby.
They have a lot of manpower deployed in the area around the main peak in the center of the ruins. If a large group of human extraordinary people appeared, they would not be able to detect it.
Since it was not a large group of soldiers who rescued Su An, and there was no extraordinary warrior-level being in the ruins, it makes no sense that Su An could escape and Xiao Xinghuai would die quietly.
——The old man in black robe was able to accompany the Holy Envoy, and he used secret techniques to suppress his cultivation to the tenth level.
Once he breaks out with warrior-level force fluctuations, not only will he be instantly wiped out, but even those around him will be fatally struck, so he is now a warrior-level unit.
"He can master the ultimate sword style of Qinglian Sword Technique, so he must have the blood of elves."
The Holy Envoy held his chin with one hand and thought to himself, "Since you have the blood of elves, you can control the many beasts in the ruins. Xiao Xinghuai and others died in the hands of the beasts, and their bodies were devoured afterwards. Then everything will be over. That makes sense.
"It's just that there is another problem."
After hearing what she said, the face of the old man in black robe became very solemn and cold:
"Xiao Xinghuai's bloodline level is not low. If he wants to drive beasts to attack Xiao Xinghuai, his bloodline level must be higher than Xiao Xinghuai's, and it must be much higher.
"Such a bloodline is extremely rare in the entire Northern Territory!"
After saying that, both of them fell into silence.
After a long while, the Holy Envoy suddenly smiled: "Elder, do you think it is possible for elves and evil spirits to have children?"
"Absolutely impossible!" The attitude of the old man in black robe was simple and rude, "Although we and the evil spirits have similar physical characteristics, we are from different planets after all, and there is reproductive isolation!"
The holy envoy curled his lips indifferently: "Yes, yes, elves and evil spirits are incompatible with each other. How can they give birth to an heir? If the blood of both parties can be combined, doesn't it mean that if we trace the origin, we are actually the same ancestor?
"A family has been fighting life and death for thousands of years. They have killed each other countless times. Doesn't it seem absurd and sad? Even beasts without intelligence would not kill so many of their kind, let alone establish a glorious civilization. An elf who prides himself on being kind, benevolent, and principled?"
The old man in gray robe did not answer the question and chose to remain silent.
The Holy Envoy turned to face the monks who were busy repairing the Cave Array. They had been delayed here for a long time and their progress was always slow.
The secret realm within the main peak contains the most important core treasure, which is what they must obtain during this trip. Only then can the overall strength of the Northern Monster Clan be essentially enhanced.
If they want to enter the secret realm inside the main peak, they must repair the magic circle and open the passage. Otherwise, with their warrior-level strength, it will be impossible to break in.
To repair and activate the magic circle, in addition to professionals and professional objects, there is another indispensable thing, which is the existence of a key.
The reason why the Holy Messenger appears here is to play the role of key. To be more precise, it is her blood, her bloodline that holds the key.
After watching for a long time, the Holy Envoy suddenly turned his head and looked at the old man in black robe again: "If the Holy King was still alive, wouldn't we have entered the secret realm of the main peak long ago?"
The old man in black robe said calmly:
"The Holy Envoy doesn't need to think about anything else. Just wait and see. As long as the magic circle is repaired to a certain extent and the Holy Envoy sacrifices his blood, he can naturally complete the next steps."
The Holy Envoy wrinkled his nose and was dissatisfied with the old man's business-like tone, but he didn't say much.
If the holy king was still there, and given the opponent's bloodline level, if his essence and blood were injected into the magic circle at this moment, it is likely that the magic circle would be activated immediately without waiting for further repairs.
Many broken magic circles in this ruins are like this. As long as high-level blood is injected into them, they can be restored to their original state immediately. The higher the level of the magic circle, the more so.
In the final analysis, high-level bloodline means a purer force, which is a purer power closer to the origin of the world. This power itself can replace many things.
The level of elf bloodline is not completely fixed. Although under the rules of genetic inheritance, there is a high probability that the genes of children born to high-level monks will be better. However, high-level monks give birth to mediocre offspring, and mediocre monks give birth to amazing geniuses. Still common.
The reason is simple. In addition to genetic inheritance, there is also genetic variation.
In short, it is normal for the descendants of high-level monks to evolve a better spiritual bloodline than their parents, and it is also reasonable for the descendants of high-level monks to evolve a bloodline that is unable to practice at all.
From the perspective of the history of biological development, it is not easy to tell which of the two things, genetic variation or genetic inheritance, has a greater impact on the survival and continuation of living things.
For this reason, the position of Holy King of the Elf clan has never been succeeded by the death of father and son, but whoever has the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength will be the Holy King of Elf.
There is no doubt that the bloodline in the Holy King was the most powerful bloodline at that time.
But that's about it.
Just because the bloodline of the Holy King is good does not mean that the bloodline of the Holy King's children is also good.
Of course, the reason why the girl with twin ponytails in front of her became a holy envoy was not because of how prominent or powerful her parents were, but because of the extraordinary power of her own bloodline.
Looking at the elves in the north today, the bloodline of the twin-tailed girl is already among the best. Their future achievements are limitless, and it is not impossible for them to ascend the throne as the new Holy King.
However, there is still a clear gap between the power of her bloodline and that of Saint King Li Changan, who passed away eighteen years ago.
