The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 497 Disobedience
"Ugh-"

In an instant, the stored life value in Suzaku's body was injected into Edmund's lifeless body. Two seconds later, the Wujin altar under Edmund's body gave off a faint gray light.

Edmond slowly opened his eyes, which also shone with a dim gray light.

His body didn't move, but his mouth opened slightly.

"Emond, answer my question." Suzaku spoke quickly, with irresistible majesty.

"Yes."

Edmund answered without emotion, and the voice from his throat was cold and hoarse, like an echo from the abyss, which made people shudder.

“Can lost people and humans give birth to ghosts?”

Qilin had already grasped Gao Yang's speculation and quickly asked the first question.

"No," Emond replied.

Qilin was startled: Gao Yang's guess was wrong?
Qilin didn't waste any time and immediately changed his mind: "Where did the ghost come from?"

"Beast." Emond replied.

Ghosts actually come from animals!
Qilin was very shocked. This was completely contrary to Gao Yang's speculation.

"What does holy water come from?" Qilin's thoughts changed quickly and he changed the question.

"Amniotic fluid."

——Amniotic fluid!
It seems that animals can not only give birth to life, but also belong to "mammals" like humans, so there is such a thing as "amniotic fluid".

In this way, when Gao Yang saw the organs in the giant petri dish in the basement of Xiguo No. 7 Winery, it was most likely the uterus of a raw animal.

Why the living beast died is unclear.

"What is the relationship between living beasts and lost people?" Qilin continued to ask the question he had prepared for a long time.

"Sow seeds." Emond's answer was rather concise and abstract.

"How to sow seeds?" Qilin asked.

"Scarlet Tide..." Edmond's slightly opened mouth paused for two seconds, as if he was processing the information. In these two seconds, Qilin almost couldn't hold back from asking a new question, but luckily he held back.

Sure enough, Emond seemed to organize his words and continued to answer: "After the lost person dies, he turns into seeds, and the living beasts send the seeds back to the lost person's body through the blood mist... Seeds, lost people, reincarnation..."

It turned out to be so!
Qilin was quite shocked: everything made sense!

It is true that beasts do not have a real reproductive system, but in order to ensure the cycle of "life", the beasts will be responsible for "seeding".

Every ten years, the living beasts will use the red mist in the scarlet tide as a medium to send the "seeds" of the dead and lost people back into the bodies of all the lost women. These lost women will "give birth" to new ones at a specific time. The lost ones create the appearance of reproduction from generation to generation.

Lost women think that they are pregnant and giving birth to children normally, but in fact, the children in their bodies are all assigned to them by the beast.

As for high-level beasts other than the Lost, they should not have the ability to "reproductive".

This explains why during the seven nights of the Crimson Tide, only the Lost Ones were forced to fall asleep, while other high-level beasts would not fall asleep.

This also explains why the advanced beasts can distinguish between the lost, ordinary humans and the awakened during those seven nights.

Although ordinary humans are lethargic, their bodies will reject the "seeds" in the red mist. Perhaps these "seeds" hidden in the blood mist can only be seen by high-level beasts, and not by those who are awakened.

Therefore, the high-level beasts used this method of discrimination to hunt the awakened ones crazily during the Scarlet Tide.

In fact, Qilin did not think so deeply in a short period of time. He only found a rough outline. He did not dare to waste time and continue to ask questions.

"What other abilities or responsibilities does a living beast have?"

"Procreation," Emond answered.

"Procreation for what?"

"Wanggui..." Edmond opened his mouth and seemed to say two words, but no sound came out.

——The wandering ghost must be a ghost.

"What else is there besides wandering ghosts?" Qilin asked quickly.

Edmund stopped answering, and the gray light in his eyes returned to darkness and silence.

Emond's body lost its "vitality" and he slowly closed his eyes, dying forever.

Suzaku's face was covered with sweat and his breathing was rapid. Suzaku had never thought that interrogating a corpse for only 35 seconds would be so strenuous.

As expected, this was the first time I had seen a corpse contaminated by the energy of a living beast.The beast is terrible.

She let go of Emond's hand and said in an apologetic voice: "I tried my best."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qilin didn't have any doubt or blame.

"President!" Suzaku looked at Qilin with eager eyes: "We must support Qiying. This beast is too dangerous. They cannot be opponents."

Qilin said nothing.

"This beast must be planning to use the child in Su Xi's belly to complete some conspiracy." Suzaku continued.

Qinglong tried to add, "Perhaps, it is only through sacrifices like Su Xi that the beasts can successfully breed ghosts and other more terrifying species. We must stop them."

Qilin remained silent.

"President! We must provide immediate support, or ask the Seven Shadows to stop investigating first!"

Qilin looked stern and did not express his position.

Zhuque didn't understand very much and looked at Qinglong: "Qinglong, please say something!"

Qinglong looked a little embarrassed. Although he also believed that Qiying should immediately support Qiying, he still chose to absolutely believe and obey Qilin's arrangements.

"Seven Shadows will die!" Suzaku lost control of his emotions: "We can't lose any more people!"

"I have my own arrangements." Qilin finally spoke.

"President! I have never disobeyed any of your orders in these years, because you are right every time, but this time, I disagree."

"Suzaku, you must believe in the president..."

"How can I believe that?!" Suzaku interrupted: "This is a living beast, why don't we go to support it? Take ten thousand steps back, even if it's not to save people, we can't let go of intelligence at the level of a living beast. ?”

Qinglong stopped talking because he couldn't understand Qilin's true intention.

"President, I'm sorry, I want to inform Qiying that I can't watch my companion die." Suzaku took out his phone with a determined look.

Qilin didn't stop him and sighed slightly: "This is your freedom."

Suzaku immediately dialed Qikage's number.

……

At the same time, at the top of Xishan Mountain, there was White Crane Shrine.

Gao Yang's cell phone vibrated. He took a look and saw that it was an encrypted call from Suzaku.

"Hello?" Gao Yang picked up immediately.

"Seven Shadows! Hurry...ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."

"Beep-beep-beep-"

As soon as Suzaku said three words, the signal was interfered with and then interrupted.

Gao Yang was very confused and was about to call back.

"It's here!"

Qing Ling shouted.

Gao Yang suddenly raised his head, and a dazzling "white meteor" appeared in the sky.

It was flying quickly over the top of Jade Fan Mountain, flying towards the White Crane Shrine in Xishan.

Probably because of its appearance, the mobile phone signal was interfered with.

The falling speed of the "white meteor" was quite fast. According to Gao Yang's visual inspection, it would land in front of them in less than ten seconds.

Never before had Gao Yang felt such a strong sense of tension and oppression, and everyone else felt the same.

Gao Yang's hands trembled uncontrollably. He clenched his fists and forced himself to stay calm.

"Everyone, it's time to go."

A drop of cold sweat flowed from Gao Yang's forehead.
