596 Escalating Situation (1)
The person who claimed to be a descendant of the Calamity Immortal Race was none other than Ning Yan.
Xu Qing remembered that the captain had said that ever since Ning Yan passed the reserve candidate assessment, he had gone missing. The captain searched for a long time but couldn’t find him.
Originally, the plan for this operation was to bring Ning Yan along and use him as a shield at critical moments.
Now that he looked at it, this kid had actually secretly come to the True Immortal Ten Guts
‘Could it be that the awakened bloodline he mentioned belongs to the Calamity Immortal Race? Or is this identity fake?’ Xu Qing’s thoughts churned but his expression was calm. He calmly glanced at Ning Yan.
As for Chen Erniu, the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
Qing Qiu still pretended not to know him.
Ning Yan’s heart was racing slightly. He didn’t know those two people from the Black Heaven Race.
However, he instinctively felt a chill run down his spine, especially that Black Heaven Race member who had a meaningful smile on his face. It made him feel flustered.
‘Why is this Black Heaven cultivator smiling at me like that?’
Ning Yan was nervous. His gaze quickly swept past Qing Qiu. Although the other party wasn’t wearing a mask and her clothes had changed, her aura didn’t change at all. He naturally could tell her identity at a glance.
After all, they were both from the Yinghuang Province and were competitors at the start. Hence, he had paid a lot of attention to Qing Qiu.
However, at this moment, he didn’t want to know why Qing Qiu was there. Instead, he grumbled inwardly. This was because he had not changed his appearance.
However, he wasn’t being careless. Due to some special reasons, he couldn’t fundamentally change his appearance and aura. Hence, he had to conceal them with a magic artifact. However, after he was captured earlier, all of his magic artifacts were taken away.
He only wanted to leave as soon as possible. He could faintly feel a deep sense of uneasiness rising in his heart.
This was indeed the case. Ning Yan didn’t manage to walk far before the captain suddenly spoke.
“Calamity Immortal Race? Interesting, I want this person.”
Ning Yan’s scalp felt like it was about to explode. His breathing became hurried and his mind shook violently.
‘Did he see through my identity? That is impossible!’ Ning Yan was anxious and terrified. A large number of rumors about the Black Heaven Race appeared in his mind.
However, he wasn’t allowed to decide on this matter. When those Holy Wave Race cultivators heard this, they didn’t hesitate at all and hurriedly agreed. They immediately escorted Ning Yan to Chen Erniu and handed over the rope that bound Ning Yan respectfully with both hands.
Chen Erniu nodded slightly and took the rope. After pulling it, Ning Yan had no choice but to take a few steps forward while trembling.
Looking at Chen Erniu, whose smile was a little scary, Ning Yan quickly revealed a fawning expression.
“Greetings, my lord.”
“I wonder how the intestines of the Calamity Immortal Race taste.” The captain bared his teeth at Ning Yan and licked his lips.
Waves surged in Ning Yan’s mind and his expression rapidly changed. Just as he was about to retreat, he was pulled by the rope and couldn’t step back. His entire person trembled intensely as he spoke in a trembling voice.
“Sir, don’t joke with me My flesh and blood are stinky, they are not delicious at all.”
Qing Qiu sighed inwardly. Originally, she didn’t have any feelings of like or dislike for this Ning Yan. They were just passersby. However, now that she was in a foreign land and saw her fellow countrymen in such a miserable state and facing the danger of being eaten, waves of emotions rose in her heart and sorrow couldn’t help but surface on her face.
Noticing Qing Qiu’s expression, Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the captain and calmly spoke.
“What do you want this Calamity Immortal Race for? Are you interested in their intestines?”
“Lord Divine Son, it’s naturally not about this.” The captain bowed to Xu Qing and spoke respectfully.
When Ning Yan heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, the captain quickly continued.
“Some time ago, I was studying the Bloodline Refinement Pill. I have used the bloodline of most of the races, but I haven’t tried the Calamity Immortal Race yet, so I plan to bring him back and refine him.”
As he spoke, the captain even looked at Ning Yan with a ferocious smile. His eyes revealed anticipation, as though he was looking at the quality of the medicinal pill. He even licked his lips.
Ning Yan’s mind was buzzing. Previously, when he heard the other party speak, he had just relaxed. Now that he heard this, he immediately shook even more. His body and mind were occupied by endless fear and tears couldn’t help but flow down.
“Sir, I I know many places where my race is located. Many of their bloodlines are denser and more exuberant than mine. Can I use them in exchange?”
The captain stroked his chin with a spurious smile. He didn’t speak and continued to size up Ning Yan’s entire body.
Ning Yan became even more afraid and despair appeared in his eyes.
Xu Qing didn’t bother with the captain and Ning Yan. He looked at the sky and then at the depths of the jungle.
He discovered that more than 90% of the fruits here were unripe. Moreover, there was an obvious difference in size between them. It didn’t look like they could all mature in a day.
Hence, he slowly spoke to Muye, who was standing respectfully beside him.
“Can all the fruits mature by tomorrow?”
Muye hesitated. After some thought, he spoke in a low voice.
“Master, the time should be tomorrow. However, according to the records in the ancient books, the time for the Dao fruits to mature is only an approximate and not precise. However, even if they don’t mature by tomorrow, they will definitely mature in seven days at most.”
Xu Qing frowned slightly. He didn’t want to stay in the Holy Wave Race’s territory for too long, afraid that there would be uncontrollable changes. However, he was a little unwilling to leave just like that.
‘I can hold on for seven days!’ Xu Qing muttered inwardly. He then turned and walked in the direction of the Zenith Nation.
