"Do you understand now?"

Li Tianxiu stopped listening to his sophistry and looked at the pale-faced Guo: "They thought they had found the way to immortality, but in fact they have been affected by parasites and are making nests for others without knowing it.

They are no longer considered human beings now."

"I……"

Shopkeeper Guo hesitated, not knowing how to describe his feelings.

Then Li Tianxiu stared at Ji Qinghai for a while and thought: "But judging from their current reactions, the insect consciousness is not in control now.

Perhaps when the queen insect’s intentions completely take over, they will truly emerge…”

"But who cares."

Li Tianxiu looked at the two again and said with a smile: "Now the winner has been decided, one of you will have to die."

"Hahahaha...I won! I won!"

Xie Qiuze looked at Ji Qinghai excitedly, thanking him for lying at such a critical moment.

The latter shook his head tremblingly, hoping that Li Tianxiu would show mercy.

"Yes, you won."

Li Tianxiu smiled at Xie Qiuze and pierced his eye socket with a sword. Under the latter's unbelievable gaze, he said coldly: "But you are just two bugs. I can kill whoever I want."

Chapter 341: God's Abandoned

"Eat."

Throwing Xie Qiuze's natal insect at Ji Qinghai's feet, Li Tianxiu pulled a chair and sat down, quietly observing his expression.

But now, Ji Qinghai did not feel the slightest bit grateful for having survived the disaster.

Because in front of the capricious Li Tianxiu, he will never be absolutely safe.

This guy doesn't treat them as his own kind!

"Do not want?"

Li Tianxiu picked up the queen insect and shook it in front of his eyes, but the latter just shook his head numbly.

Then he knew that his goal had been achieved.

It is not difficult for him to tell whether a person is lying.

And what Xie Qiuze said was indeed the truth. Immortality was all he had in his eyes now, so he disregarded friendship and wanted to turn Manager Guo into his puppet.

But this was not the reason why Li Tianxiu killed him.

After all, Ji Qinghai has given up his human existence and has become accustomed to taking over other people's bodies, so the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.

The only difference between the two was that Ji Qinghai had already seen them once displaying the style of being at the top of the food chain, and the seeds of fear had already been planted in his heart.

After experiencing another wave of ups and downs, their psychological defenses will collapse, making them more easily controlled by him.

Just like now.

"What a scary Miss Shizuki..."

Arnold, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Li Tianxiu was really from the Oman Continent, there would be no place for him as the king.

"Item name: Bone of the Great Dao."

"Quality: Epic."

"Effect: The corpse that contains the will of the evil spirit can be used to comprehend the great way of immortality, but it may also cause backlash."

"Note: If we have different ideals, we cannot work together."

“Is this also considered the avenue?”

After the show, Ji Qinghai finally settled down in peace, and Shopkeeper Guo also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​cultivating immortals.

Q looked at the horse bones that were brought back with a look of disappointment on his face.

"What is sweet to him is poison to me. Keep it for now. It will be useful in the mission anyway."

Li Tianxiu took out a poisonous insect, which was the legendary treasure of Mu Chi that could capture people's hearts. However, he was unable to use it because he died too quickly.

The use of this thing also has the limitations of the mother insect, and it is like a waste to them. Perhaps only Zhao Miaomiao would take a second look at it.

After putting away their things, the reincarnations took a rest one after another.

The next morning, Shopkeeper Guo sold the goods to the innkeeper at a low price and decided to return to Nanzhan City with light luggage.

"Master Jiang, thank you for what you did last night. But... can we really go back now?"

Walking at the front of the team, Manager Guo was full of gratitude for Li Tianxiu's attitude.

It’s not that Li Tianxiu’s inference last night was so shocking, but mainly because Ji Qinghai’s head had been chopped off and was now hanging around his waist, making it convenient for him to be questioned at any time.

They can still survive like this. These cultivators who use insects to achieve enlightenment are really too evil.

"It's easy to enter Nanzhan City. You just have to agree to become their guest official and then offer the horse bones.

In this world, the strong are respected. Mu Chi died because he offended the wrong person. "Ji Qinghai replied as if he had an appointment.

After becoming like this, although he was not dead yet, he had lost the strength to fight back and had completely given up.

The reason why he did not dare to commit cannibalism last night was to avoid Li Tianxiu having an excuse to kill him.

"Could this be a trick?" Q looked at him suspiciously.

"How dare I? I see that you dare to move even King Nanzhan. My life is in your hands." Ji Qinghai said with a wry smile.

Now he just wanted to return to Nanzhan Mansion as soon as possible and let them let him go for the sake of King Nanzhan.

"Master, please be kind."

"I haven't eaten for three days..."

"Are you short of people to work? I just need to eat."

As they got closer to Nanzhan City, more and more refugees appeared on the road.

Their ragged clothes revealed their bony chests.

Half of them had varying degrees of physical deformities.

Or the head swells inexplicably; or the lips crack in the middle, like a rabbit; or one of the arms is atrophied, making it difficult to maintain balance when walking, and so on.

"Go away, go away!"

The caravan's guards immediately came out to rebuke them, and forced them out with their swords.

But looking at these pale-faced refugees, Arnold couldn't help but feel compassion.

Just as he reached into the package, Shopkeeper Guo suddenly waved his hand at him and said in a low voice, "Don't give it to them! Something bad will happen!"

"why?"

Arnold looked at him in confusion.

"What is worrying is not the lack of money but the inequality. If you give to one person, others will come to you for it. Once you can't give it, there will definitely be a conflict." Shopkeeper Guo advised.

Even if this group of rabble really went crazy, it would not have any impact on them, but that might not be the case for the people who got the things.

Of course, he didn't really care whether these people died or not, but Arnold himself would probably be disgusted for a long time.

"Why are there so many people here? Abandoned?"

Li Tianxiu raised his head and looked into the distance. He could barely see the city gate of Nanzhan City.

But he counted carefully, and based on what he could see so far, there were 658 refugees sitting on the roadside begging or digging grass roots in the woods to eat, bringing the total number to 456.

There are more directions that we haven’t seen.

The world's economy is not very prosperous, so there should not be human trafficking gangs that break off limbs. So where do so many deformed babies come from?

“These people…are the descendants of this species, so they are prone to disabilities.

Their birth is a tragedy, so pitiful.

King Nanzhan couldn't bear to see this, so he exiled them outside the city." Shopkeeper Guo explained.

"what?"

Arnold was stunned.

What do you mean you couldn't bear to see these things so you were exiled out of the city?

"Growing people?"

Q's brows also furrowed deeply.

"Well...they are the people taken for breeding..." Shopkeeper Guo frowned.

"what?"

Q's expression became even more confused.

He had heard of breeding pigs and breeding horses, but this was the first time he heard of breeding humans. What on earth was the mayor of Nanzhan City doing?

“Originally, the human reproduction rate was not very fast.

However, cultivating immortality through refining spirit seeds would affect the functions of the human body, especially after the stage of forming the elixir, it would be almost impossible to give birth to offspring.

So in order to cultivate better, the rulers will find some people with stronger abilities to speed up the process. "Ji Qinghai explained.

The immortality they pursue is the eternity of consciousness.

But the current situation of cultivating immortals shows that their power is not enough to maintain the eternity of the body, and it will eventually have to be replaced.

So at this time, the right body becomes very important.

"But why is it deformed? Did you use any medicine?" Q frowned.

"Originally... before you started practicing Taoism, how many offspring could each family have?" Li Tianxiu pondered.

"Um……"

Ji Qinghai thought for a long time and said uncertainly: "There is only one for three or four families."

"In other words, there is something wrong with the original genes? That's easy to explain." Li Tianxiu said.

"Explain what?"

Unexpectedly, the person who asked the question was Ji Qinghai.

"The reason for the enthusiasm for cultivating immortals, and the origins of these people."

Li Tianxiu raised his head and looked towards the city in the distance, frowning and saying, "The desire for power is an instinct, and the pursuit of immortality is understandable.

And if there is a problem with reproduction, the importance of longevity becomes irreplaceable.

But this method cannot really solve the problem after all. The gradually deteriorating reproductive ability will still cause the population to drop sharply.

Many bloodline inheritances were therefore cut off, and the family-based gathering model of the village was gradually disappearing.

When the rulers change their original intentions and do not hesitate to breed normal humans as animals, it will lead to one result - the blood relationship of their offspring will become closer and closer! "

"what!"

Q reacted suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

Arnold didn't understand.

"It's incest!"

Q looked at Arnold and explained, "According to our thousands of years of scientific research, inbreeding can easily lead to genetic diseases.

There is a high probability that harmful genes will be passed on to offspring, and the specific manifestations are deformities, dementia, and various congenital diseases.”

"Genes again?"

Manager Guo also didn't understand this advanced vocabulary.

“Just like a city is made of stone, and stone can be ground into stone powder, even the smallest particle can be broken down into smaller structures, but your naked eyes cannot distinguish them.

Genes are the microscopic version of blood.
