Recap
Ji Huaizhe reacted quickly. He tore open his robe and took a few steps back to a safe distance. “There is more than one shadow. There may be many more of them.”
He held his wand tightly and softly chanted an incantation. The ruby on the top of the wand emitted a scarlet light.
At this moment, a dog barked from behind him.
Like lightning, the husky jumped past him, pounced on the dark shadow and bit it hard.
Ji Huaizhe frowned, then rolled up his sleeves and struck the gargoyle hard with his wand.
Melee combat is great.
___
Facts have proved that Ji Huaizhe is the god of melee combat. When he gave up using magic, his combat power doubled.
With his extremely agile movements, he used magic to pin the giant gargoyle to the ground and beat it. The area in the cave is too small, and the gargoyle’s movement is restricted.
The husky grabbed the dark shadow and bit down hard.
The dark shadow let out a sharp roar in pain. Its scream was very strange. It was impossible to distinguish between male and female. It was like a bunch of people screaming at the same time.
The last time Ji Huaizhe and the dark shadow fought, Chu Shici felt that the dark shadow only seemed weird, but its fighting ability was average.
However, after a few bites from the husky, most of the dark shadow was bitten off.
Seeing that it was about to be devoured, Chu Shici quickly made a small fireball to distract the husky.
“Silly dog, you don’t even know what it is. It is very dirty and will cause diarrhea if you eat it!”
The husky quickly spit out what was in his mouth. As soon as he raised his hand, the dark shadow suddenly disappeared into the ground.
The prey slipped away in front of his eyes, and the beast man walked around several times, sniffing hard at the ground.
He tried to smell out its location for a while when he heard the sound of fighting nearby. Looking back, the sorcerer had already defeated the gargoyle with his proficient melee skills.
The battle ended so quickly that Chu Shici didn’t have time to do anything to help, and his small size couldn’t help anyone much.
However, this beastman was quite loyal. When he heard the noise, he immediately left and returned to help Zhe-ge contain the dark shadow.
The dark shadow was heading straight towards Ji Huaizhe, it seemed like it wanted to get into his body.
If Zhe-ge is left alone to deal with both the gargoyle and the shadow at the same time, the shadow will probably take the opportunity to sneak in, and there is a high probability that something terrible will happen.
Just as Chu Shici was about to express his gratitude, Husky happily ran to Ji Huaizhe and looked at him with admiration.
“You are really powerful. You killed such a big beast by yourself! From now on, you are my big brother, and you have to protect me!”
Ji Huaizhe held down the gargoyle’s head, trying to get some clues from it.
It’s a pity that this stone monster can’t speak and has a low IQ, so it doesn’t understand what Ji Huaizhe wants at all.
Thinking that this was the property of the beastmen tribe after all, Ji Huaizhe did not kill it, but left a healing charm on it and left the cave.
The husky circled around him, calling “Big brother, big brother.”
Ji Huaizhe said nothing, but raised his hand to touch the dog’s head.
It was already daybreak and the woods had returned to their usual appearance. Those strange figures did not appear again.
Chu Shici had an idea. Since the woods would return to normal during the day, they might be able to leave by taking the beast airship during the day.
Whatever he could think of, Ji Huaizhe could also think of.
After walking in the woods for a while, the two of them turned to look in the direction of the cave.
Ji Huaizhe told the beastman that he wanted to try riding the beast airship during the day.
Husky shook his head violently and looked at him with a pair of blue eyes disdainfully: “You didn’t pay attention to the lectures in school. Gargoyles are the lowest form of dark creatures. They are afraid of the light, the sunlight and everything bright. You let them fly in the sky for too long during the day and they can turn from a stone gargoyle to an ash gargoyle.”
Ji Huaizhe frowned slightly, “No, the natural environment of Saint-Cherry Continent is not suitable for the survival of low-level dark creatures. Except for a few continents, the low-level dark creatures that appear in other places in the human world are not purebreds. They are more or less mixed blood with other races, so they are not as afraid of the light as other dark creatures.”
Chu Shici, who was watching everything in Ji Huaizhe’s pocket, hissed and twisted uncomfortably.
How can low-level dark creatures mix blood with other races?
He didn’t even dare to think about it.
Upon noticing the little doll’s movements, Ji Huaizhe was slightly startled, and then his face turned a light red.
He held down the moving little doll on his chest and said, “Don’t think about it. Gargoyles and other humanoid creatures cannot reproduce. It is the sorcerers, necromancers or other dark magic believers who perform bloodline sacrifices on the gargoyles and infuse the blood of other creatures into the gargoyle’s body and let it possess the characteristic abilities of other races.”
Chu Shici let out a long oh.
He doesn’t really understand it, but it sounds awesome.
Seeing that the sorcerer still insisted on going to the cave, the husky dragged him back with his tail wagging.
As dawn was about to pass, Ji Huaizhe was a little irritated, “There are no purebred gargoyles in the entire Saint-Cherry Continent.”
The husky stamped his feet, “But its hometown is not here! Didn’t I tell you before? It is a beast brought out by the leader from behind the door!”
“Is the blood pure?”
Ji Huaizhe pursed his lips and sighed silently.
Chu Shici frowned and looked at the cave in the distance. He was very concerned about the door mentioned by the Husky.
The door that he saw in the black hole in the cabinet was very similar to the door that Zhe-ge dreamed about in his dream.
Chu Shici pushed open the door in the hole, but behind the door was just a small, peaceful village. There was no way there would be a giant gargoyle inside.
It’s obviously the same door, but behind the doors are two completely different worlds.
Chu Shici thought that different teleportation arrays should be used, but he didn’t understand why the door appeared in Zhe-ge’s cabinet and dream.
He dangled inside Ji Huaizhe’s pocket, peeking his head out and held his chin in thought. What Zhe-ge had just said suddenly flashed through his mind.
Sorcerers who modify the blood purity of gargoyles through bloodline sacrifices for various purposes.
When Zhe-ge had a mental breakdown, he once cried to him, saying that the sorcerers forced him to perform blood sacrifices.
Chu Shici was a little panicked. He raised his head and asked Zhe-ge: “Ge, blood and bloodline sacrifices, are they the same thing?”
Ji Huaizhe’s footsteps suddenly stopped. He was slightly startled, and then a perplexed look flashed across his face.
“I don’t know. Bloodline sacrifices are the most mysterious types of sacrificial ceremony. Only a few people know the exact process.”
“Is it not recorded in any books?”
“I can’t find it. All advanced witchcraft and formations are passed down from generations to generations. I can’t find any relevant books on it at all.”
Chu Shici had a bad feeling in his heart.
He quickly pulled the system out with him to look through the original novel, trying to find some clues.
The male protagonist in the original novel is very powerful in the later stages. He has extremely high defense and strong offenses. Not even a dragon’s claws could harm him.
He doesn’t look like a normal human being.
Chu Shici hissed.
He wasn’t sure if there was any relationship between bloodline sacrifices and blood sacrifices.
He asked Zhe-ge how many blood sacrifices he had performed in total, and wanted to see if there was any room for salvation.
Ji Huaizhe was silent for a moment and said, “So far, five times in total.”
Chu Shici was about to think about how this was possible. Even if they wanted to do blood transfusion, how can they even think to stuff the blood from five races into Zhe-ge’s body?
Before the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped as he remembered something very important.
“Zhe-ge, do you still remember that there are ten human heads on that door, five of which have open eyes? Is this just a coincidence that you happened to have performed five blood sacrifices?”
Ji Huaizhe said nothing, holding the little doll in silence.
The solemn atmosphere on their side also affected the Husky beside them.
The beastman jumped up to them: “What’s wrong, big brother?!”
Chu Shici became irritated when he thought that Zhe-ge might be plotted against.
He stretched out his short woolen arm, and the husky immediately lowered his head.
The man’s black hair is thick and hard, and its texture is much different from that of dog hair. Chu Shici lost interest after touching it a few times.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the beastman turned around and asked, ‘What’s wrong! What’s wrong!’, like a human repeater.
Chu Shici thought he was funny and teased him casually: “The Sorcerer Academy is not good to my Zhe-ge, and everyone there bullies him. We can’t escape, and we have nowhere else to go so we are very sad right now.”
The husky wagged his tail, jumped up and hugged the sorcerer: “Why worry about this little thing? You can live in my kennel. I will give you half of my kennel!”
“We’ll hang out and pee together, but you can’t pee in the back of the house, that’s my place.”
Ji Huaizhe pulled the dog off his body and pointed the wand at his nose to warn him not to touch him again in the future.
After being tormented by the Husky, Chu Shici put the matter of the door aside for the time being.
He shook his little arm and deliberately teased the husky: “My brother can pee wherever he wants. Your territory is gone.”
The beastman believed it and started clamoring loudly around Ji Huaizhe.
In front of him was a man half a head taller than him, rolling on the ground in front of him and a little doll talking loudly in his ears, all that was to be said was a whole lot of filthy words involving shitting and peeing.
Ji Huaizhe stood there expressionlessly, feeling that his blood pressure was rising rapidly.
He kicked away the dog that was trying to hug his thigh, grabbed the doll’s head and pulled him out of his pocket.
The dog and the doll received education at the same time, and they were much more honest on the way back.
___
The Husky is not completely brainless and can think to save his life.
After all, it is against the rules to ride on the beast airship privately. When he was approaching the beastmen tribe, he pulled Ji Huaizhe to confirm their falsified statements.
As soon as they returned to the tribe, they saw a canine beastman with long blond hair standing outside the fence waiting anxiously.
As soon as he saw the husky, the golden retriever hurried over to make sure he was not injured, hugged him and kissed his face.
The two dogs’ tails shook like propellers. The husky stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick the golden retriever, but the golden retriever pushed him aside.
With the golden retriever, the Husky immediately forgot about his new big brothers.
Ji Huaizhe stood aside, quietly looking at the two canine beastmen smelling each other, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.
Raising his hand to hold the little doll on his chest, Ji Huaizhe showed a faint smile.
There is nothing to envy, he also has friends.
The husky lied and did not tell the golden retriever that he was staying out all night and went to play with the airship all night.
The Golden Retriever had no doubts either.
After being intimate for a while, the golden retriever found that the husky was much more honest than yesterday. Even the usual peeing and pooping turned into ‘using the toilet’.
The Husky said that this was what the sorcerer taught him.
The golden retriever looked at Ji Huaizhe gratefully: “I think you can also see that my friend is a beast and his brain is not very good. He speaks and acts a little crude, and is often misunderstood. I have always wanted to find a dog trainer or etiquette teacher who can teach him proper manners.”
He dug into his pocket and took out a few gold coins: “Thank you very much for teaching my stupid friend so well. This is the tuition fee. He is such a dog. I hope Mr. Ji can come to the tribe often to teach him how to behave when you are free.”
Ji Huaizhe: ……
Chu Shici: …
Why does it sound so much like he was cursing the Husky?
Ji Huaizhe only knew how to beat people, not teach people, so he took the gold coins. It’s a pity that the Golden Retriever can’t cure his good friend’s head.
There is no point in staying in the beastmen tribe and there is no way to leave the Erya Mountains. Ji Huaizhe can only go back to the Sorcerer Academy.
At least for now, the sorcerers are still maintaining a peaceful facade. If he rashly exposes his thoughts of escaping, those lunatics might immediately tear him apart.
Ji Huaizhe turned around and was about to leave when Golden Retriever suddenly grabbed him and told him that Lilith had woken up this morning and was clamoring to see him.
Ji Huaizhe has completely lost his affection for Lilith.
His tone was extremely cold when he spoke, “Ignore her. If you don’t like her, just kill her.”
The Golden Retriever frowned, “I thought both of you are friends.”
Ji Huaizhe raised the corners of his lips and sneered.
The Golden Retriever seemed to want to say something when there was a sudden commotion deep in the tribe.
Several little beastmen who barely reached Ji Huaizhe’s knees ran out crying.
They ran to the golden retriever and cried: “Sister Witch ate people! She ate Brother Rabbit!!!”
The husky, who was still jumping up and down, immediately lost his joyful expression and rushed into the tribe with the golden retriever.
There are only two sorcerers in the tribe, and the witch in the little beastman’s mouth can only be Lilith.
Ji Huaizhe hesitated for a moment.
Since Lilith had come with him after all, if he left directly, he might be regarded as absconding in fear of crime, so he followed them in.
The beastmen tribe, which was originally peaceful and calm, was now in chaos.
A group of beastmen gathered in front of a wooden house and kept making low angry roars.
Ji Huaizhe passed through the crowd and saw a little bunny lying in the wooden house through the open wooden door.
He was wearing overalls and was about five or six years old. There was a big hole in his stomach and blood was pouring out. The snow-white rabbit ears drooped, and his pupils gradually became dilated.
A beastmen priest wearing animal skin stood next to the bunny, pouring life potion into his mouth.
The rabbit beastman’s body kept twitching, and the medicine leaked while he drank.
The golden retriever, husky and the big white dog they met yesterday have completely lost their previous warm and friendly appearance, and are pressing Lilith to the ground and biting her.
The little witch who can only attack from a distance is no match for the three canine beastmen. Unable to resist, she let out a shrill wail.
The scene was very bloody, and Chu Shici frowned slightly.
The few little beastmen who came out to report the news were crying to the adults around them.
Through their muffled voices, Chu Shici roughly knew what had just happened.
___
This wooden house is a place to rest for the little beastmen, specially prepared by the tribe for beastmen cubs aged 5 to 8 years old.
Lilith was knocked unconscious by Ji Huaizhe last night. She behaved normally when she got up this morning and was no longer angry at the golden retriever.
The Golden Retriever couldn’t find Husky, so he went to wait for him outside the tribe.
After the golden retriever left, Lilith went to the cub room alone. Telling the centaurs at the gate that she wants to see the little beastmen.
Almost every guest who comes to the beastmen tribe will make this request. The centaur guard were accustomed to this and didn’t think much of it. He opened the door and let her in while he watched from the side.
Lilith hugged the bunny and started teasing him. The two of them had a great time.
The people from the kitchen came to deliver the food, and the centaur turned around to receive the food.
He only left for a minute, and the witch, who had been smiling just now, suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed the little rabbit beastmen in the stomach.
She went crazy, tearing the rabbit beastmen’s body to pieces. Then, under the horrified gazes of the other little beastmen, she bit into the rabbit beastmen’s wounds and devoured his flesh and blood.
A little tiger cub wanted to stop her and scratched her arms hard.
But Lilith seemed to feel no pain, and even though her arms were dripping with blood, she still didn’t stop eating.
Perhaps because she was annoyed, Lilith raised her head and looked at the little tiger beside her.
Her scarlet and bloodshot eyes scared even the bravest little tigers to tears.
The little tigers pulled on the tigress’ clothes and cried to his mother while wiping his tears.
Ji Huaizhe glanced to the side with his peripheral vision. The tail of the little tiger exploded in an instant, and he got into the arms of the tigress and howled.
“That’s the kind of eyes she had! Mom! The witch has the same eyes as him!!!”
Hearing the cry of the little tiger, all the surrounding beastmen turned to look at Ji Huaizhe.
The tigress protected her cub and bared her fangs at him.
Surrounded by beastmen, Ji Huaizhe’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice was as cold as ever, “I am the Son of God chosen by the Goddess of Death. These eyes are the symbol of the Son of God. I am the only one in this world.”
The beastmen tribe and the sorcerer academy are very close, and the Tigress has obviously heard this legend.
She touched the child’s head and asked him if he saw it right.
The Little Tiger was very sure, “Absolutely! Big tiger and big cow can testify for me!”
The few little beastmen next to him also nodded.
The beastmen looked at each other in confusion, and finally their eyes fell on Ji Huaizhe’s eyes.
Chu Shici was confused. The boys had no reason to lie. They really saw it.
But the legend clearly states that each goddess will only choose one Child of God, so what happened to Lilith?
Ji Huaizhe walked quickly into the wooden house without hesitation and grabbed the husky to prevent him from chewing Lilith any more.
They spent a day playing together last night, and the Husky had a very good impression of him. Seeing that he wanted to ask something, he helped pull the golden retriever and big white dog away as well.
Ji Huaizhe squatted on the ground and looked at the little witch in front of him.
There were no good pieces of flesh left on Lilith’s body. Chu Shici looked specifically at her eyes. They were not red pupils with black sclera.
The witch opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, struggling to grab onto Ji Huaizhe’s robe, “Help…help me.”
Chu Shici took a cursory look at Lilith’s injuries and found that the dogs were quite tamed in their attacks, and the little witch should not die for a while.
Ji Huaizhe spread his fingers and said, “As long as you tell me everything you know, I will save you.”
Lilith seemed to be delirious and started talking nonsense.
“Help me, help me… there are so many mirrors, there are monsters everywhere…”
“I don’t want to be the Child of God! I don’t want to be the Child of God anymore! It hurts, it really hurts!! Please let me go!”
“It’s so scary here. I want to go home! Don’t kill my mother… Please, don’t kill my parents…”
Lilith’s voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
There was obviously no fatal injury, but her pupils gradually became dilated. Even if Ji Huaizhe asked the beastmen priest for life potion and fed it to her, it would have no effect.
On her deathbed, Lilith looked at Ji Huaizhe’s long black hair falling in front of her eyes and mistakenly thought he was her mother.
She used her last bit of strength to raise her hand to grab onto Ji Huaizhe’s hair, and placed it against her cheek dependently, murmuring in a low voice as if she was dreaming: “The roses in the garden are blooming, they are so big and beautiful, and they can be sold for a lot of copper coins. Mom, tomorrow, let’s go sell flowers together.”
Before she finished speaking, the witch stopped breathing.
No one spoke, the cabin was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
Lilith was already dead, but she was still clutching Ji Huaizhe’s hair.
He was silent for a moment, then cut off the long hair with a dagger.
The Husky looked at Lilith’s body blankly: “What’s going on? Why did she die? It wasn’t me!”
The Golden Retriever echoed from the side: “The wounds we bit are not fatal. Her death has nothing to do with us.”
There were too many questions in Lilith’s last words. Ji Huaizhe did not hesitate. He took out the tools from his luggage on the spot and quickly drew a soul-summoning formation on the wooden floor.
He knelt down in front of the formation and chanted softly.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t summon Lilith’s evil spirit nor could he summon her soul.
There are only two explanations for this situation.
Lilith’s evil spirit signed a contract with another person and became someone else’s exclusive evil spirit servant.
Or her evil spirit has been eaten by someone else.
