Chapter 15: Inquiry and the Change of the Demon Seed [Reading]
"As long as your back is to me."
"I'll give you some medicine and a bandage, will you?"
His words made Rebecca relax and she nodded quickly in response.
"The guild has taught basic bandaging techniques..."
After leaving the dangerous environment, Rebecca's voice sounded soft.
Chen Xuan first briefly observed the wound.
Her new injuries were mainly to her right shoulder and left subscapular back.
They were bite wounds and circular wounds left by stabbing with short spears.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep and did not penetrate the muscles and touch the internal organs and bones.
There was no ongoing bleeding, which is good news.
Looking at the wound that had been cleaned until the edges turned white, Chen Xuan secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.
The cute wife is actually a cruel person.
After all, a race from another world that can fight monsters cannot be measured by the standards of Blue Star humans.
After confirming that the wounds were dry, he disinfected them with hydrogen peroxide, then took out medical dressings to fill the circular wounds.
As for the injury caused by the Night Shadow Wolf's bite, it was easy to deal with.
After biting through the leather armor, its teeth no longer have much lethality.
Because he was observing the wound, Chen Xuan ignored the texture of the cat-eared girl's skin.
He is more concerned about the condition of those old injuries, which may indicate that the intelligent races of the Naloa continent are in a high-risk environment and need to maintain high-intensity fighting to survive.
Of course, Rebecca may be just an exception.
After applying the medicine, Chen Xuan handed the bandage in his hand to Rebecca.
Under the range of motion of the wrapping bandage, you can see the lively little rabbit from the side.
Thoughts are inevitable, but based on the principle of appreciation, the desires in the heart can be controlled.
Chen Xuan lowered his head, preparing to take advantage of this moment to ask her for information.
"Rebecca, I have a few questions to ask you."
Chen Xuan, who was sitting behind her, took out his mobile phone.
Opening the memo, several urgent issues that need to be understood have already been written on it.
Rebecca would not refuse and could not refuse Chen Xuan's request.
"Master, please tell me."
She replied in a low voice while wrapping a bandage on herself.
"Ahem..."
After clearing his throat, Chen Xuan asked his first question.
"Have you ever seen or heard of a human being with my style of appearance before?"
This question may seem nonsensical, but it is actually quite crucial.
Because Rebecca's facial features are not Asian.
There may not be an Oriental face like Chen Xuan in the other world continent.
Rebecca, who was sitting upright, stopped what she was doing.
She tilted her head in confusion and pondered for a moment before answering.
"I'm sorry, Master."
"Rebecca has not seen other humans with the appearance style like you."
(PS: The little baby of Quantum Reading reads the previous line again and says "appearance style" after me)
"But you don't have to I'm worried that there are tens of thousands of ethnic groups formed by the Naloa Intelligent Tribe Alliance." "
Among them are humanoid ethnic groups such as cat-eared tribes, iron furnace dwarves, and canyon gnomes, as well as many non-humanoid ethnic groups." "
For example , Troglodytes, quilboars, tauren, etc..."
Rebecca's words made Chen Xuan thoughtful.
It seems that the continent of Naroa is 100% a different world with a western magical background.
Eastern fantasy, Western fantasy.
Both have their own characteristics on the mysterious side.
In addition, Rebecca's words also revealed a very important news.
That is, the continent of Naroa has a wide variety of intelligent races, and has even formed an organization similar to an alliance.
In the context of mixed ethnic groups, since the Naroa natives even have different appearances, they can even accept non-human or so-called "monster" ethnic groups.
In addition, there are those monsters with terrifying and ferocious appearances.
The nerves of Aboriginal people like Rebecca have been extremely tempered for a long time.
Not to mention seeing an unfamiliar oriental face, even if the three-headed and six-armed Nezha or the stick-carrying Sun Wukong appeared on the continent of Naroa, I'm afraid it wouldn't cause too much heated discussion.
"I understand."
"Then the second question."
"What is a monster?"
Chen Xuan then asked the second key question.
This issue is not a secret in the continent of Naroa.
The disaster caused by the monster crypt has a history of hundreds of years.
Even a three-year-old baby can tell several heroic epic stories.
At this time Rebecca had finished bandaging.
She put on her loose clothes again, took out her messy silver hair, and then spoke slowly.
"All monsters come from burrows."
"But no one knows how burrows appeared."
"They will be randomly born in inaccessible areas." "
Cavens have complex terrain. It is said that those high-level burrows even There are multiple layers."
"Monsters all pour out from the teleportation passage in the deepest part of the crypt." "
The passage is restrictive and cannot be passed except by monsters."
"In addition, about the core of the crypt..."
Rebecca said all that This is a situation that everyone knows.
At this time, she remembered the demon seed hidden under the leather armor.
It is the culprit of everything and the hope to save his brother and mother.
Just as he was about to try to uncover the devil's seed, the tingling feeling in his soul that represented the punishment of the contract appeared.
"Uh!"
She covered her forehead and let out a cry of pain.
The pain that directly affects the soul cannot be endured by willpower.
And her reaction also attracted Chen Xuan's attention.
"What's wrong?"
Under the restrictions of the contract, she could not lie to Chen Xuan, otherwise she would suffer greater pain.
So I can only answer honestly.
"The demon species..."
"The core of the crypt is the demon species!"
She almost said it through gritted teeth.
"What is a demon seed?"
"Elaborate."
Chen Xuan asked subconsciously.
This was nothing less than a new contractual imperative for Rebecca.
So she stood up reluctantly and returned to the bathroom. After rummaging around, she returned to the bed with a small linen bag in her hand.
"This...is the demon seed."
Rebecca's tone was slightly numb. It was obvious that the blow of handing over the demon seed was even greater than the contract change!
At Chen Xuan's request, she opened the tightly tied sack.
A black bead as big as a goose egg was revealed, with a hazy light on its surface.
When Chen Xuan saw the bead, Chen Xuan had no reaction, but Rebecca was the first to exclaim.
"Eh!"
"The rhythm of the demon seed has completely stopped..."
The demon seed is the real core of the burrow, and it is said to be the source of energy that maintains the monster passage.
It contains a huge amount of essence magic power, also known as the initial magic bead.
Has a wider range of uses.
Under normal circumstances, it is like a breathing light bead heart, which can absorb free magic power and will be affected by the rhythm of the caves within a radius of hundreds of miles.
If the rhythm of the demon species stops, it means that there is no monster burrow nearby.
But...
in the entire vast area of Naroa Continent, is there really any place that has not been contaminated by the monster crypt?
