I should marry the traitor

Chapter 212 Gongjing Town

It is very rare for the bloodline of a corpse demon to exceed 90%, but once it exceeds 90%, it is a powerful killing weapon. This special bloodline is too terrifying on the battlefield.

This is also the reason why the Qu family migrated to Liangzhou. It was simply because their abilities were too terrifying, so they were targeted openly or covertly.

But what Li Changge wanted was not only the blood of the corpse demon, but also the blood of the more powerful corpse demon king.

This is a top-notch bloodline that can be compared to the Nine Nether Python and Phoenix. Not only does it have stronger dominance on the battlefield, its own combat power is also very strong. In simple terms, it is not so easy to die.

However, Li Changge did not intend to let Qu Yiyi improve step by step. It was impossible for such a precious item as the Ancestral Dragon Jade Seal to be used by Qu Yiyi alone forever.

Even for dogs, rewards and punishments must be as clear as possible in order to train them well. Qu Yiyi has not made any contribution, so it is already a special matter to let her use the jade seal for such a long time.

Of course, there are far more ways to evolve bloodline than just the jade seal, but they basically all have side effects, the most typical of which is the evil fire of Dongyou Island.

Or there is a stone called Han Gong Stone, which can slightly improve the bloodline of hybrids and can also make the bloodline evolve in the direction of having ice power.

Of course, it is not without side effects. Once the Han Gong Stone is used, one will completely lose the ability to fertilize and suffer from uterine coldness, even mixed-bloods are no exception.

Even so, many hybrids still flock to the Hangong Stone. After all, compared with the terrible side effects of evil fire, the minor problem of uterine cold seems so mild.

As for the loss of fertility, even if it is not lost, it is difficult for mixed-bloods to have children.

Of course, Li Changge’s target today is not the Han Gong Stone. After all, this thing does not fit in with his plan for Qu Yiyi.

Li Changge took Qu Yiyi away from Luoyang. They walked very fast and headed south. After about a day's journey, they arrived at the border of Yizhou.

This is a small town without tall city walls, just a regional concentration of houses.

In fact, it seems that there is everything here, but there are fewer pedestrians, so it looks a bit deserted.

"Gongjing Town." Qu Yiyi looked at the name on the road sign with a hint of confusion on her face.

Li Changge explained, "About a few decades ago, this was a small town rich in salt mines. The refined salt produced was of very high quality and was once the origin of royal tribute salt."

"But later on, the salt mines were exhausted, and we lost our livelihood, so this place gradually became deserted."

"Plus a few other reasons, there are even fewer people here."

"What's the reason?" Seeing that Li Changge was about to keep the answer in suspense, Qu Yiyi asked.

However, Li Changge did not say anything, but just pointed to the ground. According to the time in the game, it should be about this time every day.

Then, the ground began to shake violently, and Qu Yiyi was caught off guard and swayed.

"The earth dragon turned over?"

"almost."

The reason why Gongjing Town is sparsely populated is very simple - earthquakes.

In Daqian, this is called the earth dragon turning over. Gongjing Town is almost the place with the highest frequency of earth dragon turning over in the entire Daqian. It is no exaggeration to say that there are three small earthquakes a day and one big earthquake every three days.

"The reason why this place is sparsely populated is that the frequency of the earth dragon turning over is too high. Although it is harmless most of the time, there will still be houses collapsing from time to time."

“So most people who are able to move away have already done so.” “Those who are still in Gongjing Town are mostly elderly people with limited mobility or people who have businesses that prevent them from leaving.”

Gongjing Town was built on the mountainside. Li Changge led Qu Yiyi all the way up while explaining things to her.

"Is it because the underground has been hollowed out by mining salt mines?"

"You can say yes, you can say no."

"What do you mean?"

Li Changge smiled, stopped, turned around and looked at the green area at the foot of the mountain.

"Collecting salt mines does hollow out the ground underneath Gongjing Town, which can cause the ground to shake easily."

"But this is not the fundamental reason for the earth dragon's turning over. It just amplifies the impact of the earth dragon's turning over."

"The real reason why Dilong turned over is that the imperial court secretly collected a treasure called rock gas under the pretext of collecting tribute salt several decades ago."

Rock gas? Qu Yiyi pondered for a while after hearing this word, and suddenly realized it.

"I seem to have heard of this kind of treasure."

"I heard that it is similar to Han Gong Stone. If used in large quantities, it can make the blood of hybrids evolve towards the earth attribute."

"But if you want to evolve into the bloodline of the Corpse Demon King, a treasure like Rock Gas is not enough, right? I heard that it will also have the side effect of making the skin look like loess."

Rock gas was a famous treasure decades ago, and Qu Yiyi had also heard of it when she was a child.

But as a girl, Qu Yiyi subconsciously had some resistance to such treasures that affected her appearance. Besides, the rock gas was not that magical. At least Qu Yiyi felt that it was impossible to rely on this thing to evolve into the bloodline of the Corpse Demon King.

Li Changge smiled and did not continue explaining to Qu Yiyi.

This is a big task for players, with very generous rewards, and you need to go to Gongjing Town to trigger the prerequisite.

The so-called rock energy is not only useful for hybrids, but also has certain effects on martial arts training schools.

However, as the Emperor Fuyi who owns several top-level furnaces, Li Changge is not very interested in this thing.

Decades ago, rock gas was exploited on a large scale by the imperial court. Later, it was found that the rate of return was too low, and the side effects were too great, so the exploitation of rock gas was stopped.

While chatting, Li Changge and Qu Yiyi came to the edge of Gongjing Town, where there were several dilapidated houses gathered together, which looked like an abandoned farm.

The houses look weathered and look as if no one has lived there for a long time. They also look dilapidated. What is surprising is that although Gongjing Town is often hit by earthquakes, these shaky-looking houses have not been collapsed yet.

But it is normal for this place to be abandoned. After all, there is a cemetery next to the village. There are many high and bulging grass-covered graves, with some with tombstones and some without. Some of the graves were even collapsed by the earthquake, revealing a vaguely visible coffin.

What’s even more abstract is that there are quite a few paper figures used for memorial services inserted in this cemetery. When the earth dragon turns over, the scene of these paper figures shaking wildly is enough to make people’s scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Near the gate of the manor, there is a tattered plaque with blurred words on it. One can only vaguely make out - Beigeshantu.
