Chapter 627: The Desolate Baitao Village

In the Baitao settlement, Lu Xingshi met other survivors, most of them were young people, and there didn't seem to be many old and weak people. The former Night Witch King, Bi, was the temporary ruler of the Baitao settlement.

Even though he is as thin as a bamboo pole, he is actually the strongest in the entire settlement.

Here, there are people of all kinds of bloodlines from all over the world, but most people have numbness on their faces, as if it doesn’t matter anymore.

Except for the child who had a little flesh on his face, everyone else looked just like Bi, skin and bones.

Obviously, the food was given to children who were unable to absorb energy from the external environment through blood.

Lu Xingshi also asked why it was called Baitao Settlement, and Bi just casually said: It's just a nickname, it doesn't matter what you want to call it.

After hearing what the other party said, Lu Xingshi did not continue to ask why. It was obvious that he was just trying to fool him, and there was no follow-up result from asking further.

Because of the arrival of the stranger Lu Xingshi, many people in the Baitao settlement were looking at him, mainly because Lu Xingshi didn't fit in with them.

After all, everyone is skin and bones, but you alone have incredibly strong tendons and muscles.

"You don't seem to have seen this kind of scene?" Bi saw Lu Xingshi's expression and asked.

"I have seen it. I've seen worse than this." Lu Xingshi responded casually. He just had never seen primitive people live such a hard life. In the parallel world No. 2 where he lived, no matter how poor the tribe was, at least they would not be skin and bones.

"Really? Then you are really well-informed." Bi responded, and then asked: "Where are you going?"

He was trying to find out Lu Xingshi's purpose. According to his assumption, the other party's royal court must not be a small force since it could still survive in this era.

Of course, it is also possible that they have obtained this privilege by joining the lackey forces of the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood.

But at this point, Bi can no longer care about so many things. Whether he has enough strength or acts as a lackey, he has to find a way to keep the entire settlement alive.

"There is no target yet." What Lu Xingshi said was true. He was collecting data, so he could just wander around in Parallel World No. 1 and was not necessarily limited to any one location.

By the way, find out how the great witch king, who was surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, achieved enlightenment and became a god.

"Because of the expansion of the blood soil, our settlement is now almost deadlocked." After hearing this, Bi suddenly changed the subject: "So we want to join your royal court."

"Well, that's no problem." Lu Xingshi agreed, but added: "But the problem is that you can't make it alive. The most basic thing is to cross the sea of ​​corpses and blood of the Great Witch King. Can you do it?"

The Royal Court of the Divine Tree is not in Parallel World No. 1, but in Parallel World No. 2. One must pass through the Empty Vortex to get there. Where the Empty Vortex is located is where the Great Witch King is surrounded by a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. This is tantamount to committing suicide.

As for teleporting through the spirit tree totem, it is a good idea, but it doesn't work.

The Royal Court's transmission system can only work in Parallel World No. 2 and cannot cross worlds. It is equivalent to the signal of the sacred tree totem not covering Parallel World No. 1, so it cannot get through at all.

"What do you mean?" Bi found it difficult to understand Lu Xingshi's words.

"It means exactly what it says. Do you know Kongwo?" Lu Xingshi asked. If the other party knew, then Lu Xingshi wouldn't have to explain. But if the other party didn't know, then Lu Xingshi wouldn't have to explain either.

When Bi heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Of course I know, a special vortex suddenly appeared in the sky."

"The Great Wizard King of the Sea of ​​Corpses and Blood has been obsessed with the study of the Vortex. It seems that this Vortex has great value."

Well, that’s half the answer.

"The empty vortex is connected to another wild world, which belongs to the past period. The great witch king in that world with mountains of corpses and seas of blood has not yet grown up." Lu Xingshi explained briefly.

Bi looked confused for a moment, but then he quickly understood.

"So, you are the great wizard king of the sea of ​​blood and corpses in the wild world across from Kongwo?" Bi said.

"Most of it is correct, except that I am not the Great Wizard King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood." Lu Xingshi corrected the mistakes in the other party's words, and then continued: "And now the vortex of the two worlds has been controlled by the Great Wizard King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood."

"I also came here quietly while he was attending the Royal Court Alliance meeting in my world, so if you are sure you can get through, I can lead the way for you." Lu Xingshi said indifferently.

Bi was silent. I thought it was hope, but it turned out to be despair.

What they got was even more despairing news: the empty vortex actually led to another wild world from the past.

They are still struggling to survive, but the Great Witch King has begun a new conquest in the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"So, the world you live in is about to fall, right?" Bi naturally understood that since it was the barbaric world of the past, it meant that it was exactly the same as the present where they were.

"No, the Snail in our world, that is, the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood who did not grow up, became the Witch King of the Divine Tree. He relied on his powerful background to single-handedly defeat the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood in the alliance."

"We are now in a stalemate. If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen to the Great Witch King of the Sea of ​​Corpses and Blood." Lu Xingshi has no confidence in Wo Ke, but he has confidence in himself. "Can we win?" Bi's expression gradually changed.

"That's not the case. There's a 50% chance of winning." Lu Xingshi really had no way to guarantee 100%. At most, he could win 50%, and the remaining 50% was naturally not a chance of winning.

"Then how deep is your past? I also have some understanding of the past of the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood." Bi still felt it was a bit absurd.

"Maybe he is not yet twenty years old." Lu Xingshi said seriously.

This made Bi's expression become stunned, and Lu Xingshi naturally felt that what the hell, are you kidding me?
How could the predecessor of the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood, who is not even twenty years old, have the strength to fight against the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood?

It was good enough that he was not killed by a single finger, but he was actually able to fight off the opponent. What a weird development.

“So in your world, there is no Bronze Royal Court and Bronze Tree Tribe, only the Sacred Tree Royal Court, right?” Bi felt that there was something wrong with this.

"Yes, but it was killed by the snail." Lu Xingshi spoke nonsense seriously.

For a moment, Bi felt that his brain was not enough. At his age, he might not even have a few blood lines.

"Forget it. As the Great Wizard King of the past, it is natural for him to have this potential." Bi soon stopped dwelling on this matter. To him, as such a powerful being, no matter how outrageous it is, it is normal.

"Can you give us some time to think about it? When you return, be sure to pass by our settlement once. We will give you an answer. What do you think?" Bi said sincerely.

The complexity of the matter was far beyond his imagination, and in the end he did not immediately decide whether to stay or leave.

"Well, I may not return the same way I came." Lu Xingshi said bluntly: "And even if you follow me, the chances of you getting out alive are not high."

Lu Xingshi was telling the truth. When he passed through the vortex, he would have to face the Great Witch King in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and a fight would be unavoidable.

If they really wanted to leave with Lu Xingshi, given the scale of their battle, the aftermath would be enough to kill all the people in the settlement.

"Maybe we won't go back by then, it's just a thought." Bi said.

"It would be better if you reply to me tomorrow. I can wait for you here all night. After all, who knows what will happen in the future?" Lu Xingshi declined tactfully.

You are so shameless, you don't owe them anything, why should Lu Xingshi do anything just because of what you say?
To put it bluntly, it's like taking advantage of someone.

It was you who wanted to escape, not Lu Xingshi who begged them to leave.

So you can go if you want.

Helping others is a favor, not helping others is your duty. If you are easy to talk to, the other party will think that you should accommodate them in everything.

"One night...Okay, I'll try my best." Bi saw Lu Xingshi's dissatisfaction and finally confirmed it. He also realized that what he had done just now was indeed inappropriate.

"It's getting late. You can stay here for one night. I will give you an answer tomorrow morning." Bi said and left.

This is his tent, which is considered the best place to live in the entire Baitao settlement. Of course, it is only the best here. In Lu Xingshi's opinion, it is still dilapidated.

It’s just that the conditions are limited, so it’s good to have it.

Naturally, Lu Xingshi stayed there with a clear conscience. Since the other party asked for his help, he couldn't just act bossy and at least show some sincerity.

And the sincerity is pitifully small.

To put it bluntly, even if Bi's strength has dropped drastically and he has become as thin as this, it doesn't mean that he will die if he doesn't sleep for a night.

In fact, as long as you have the blood phase, not eating, drinking or sleeping is not a big problem.

"The great Night Wizard King is so miserable." Lu Xingshi actually had some guesses about why the other party survived. It was most likely that the Great Wizard King let him go amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. As for why, Lu Xingshi had no idea.

The memory he obtained did not include this part.

"Even if they escape, they can probably only linger on." Lu Xingshi could see that their bodies had already been infected by the chaos in the blood soil. They could survive, but in extreme pain.

From now on, you will be neither human nor ghost for the rest of your life, and suffer from torture.

If they want to recover, Lu Xingshi has to take action. Of course, the grown-up Divine Tree Witch King Snail might also be able to solve the problem, but he may not necessarily help.

Wo is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. His personality is normal.

Even if they won't add insult to injury, they will simply ignore the other party's request and let them fend for themselves.
