Nie Ci Lei floated in the air, saying this, but with a wave of his hand, before Chen Huijie could react, he took away the frightened Nie Fu through the air. Then, Chen Huijie felt Nie Ci Lei's gaze fall on him again:
"Tell me, young man, what do you intend to do with the remains of my kind?"
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
Chen Huijie turned the fragment of the Flame Demon in his hand, as if recalling something, and looked at the terrifying Nieci Lei floating in the air and said casually:
"You've seen what I did just now. To be honest, I somewhat despise the power within. How about we make a pact? I'll put the remaining soul within the Fire Demon fragment to rest, and you, old man, will take the blame for the fragment's shattering. How about that?"
"...Young man, you should know that the only destination for Sarkaz after death is the souls of the Sarkaz."
"Hey, don't worry about that. Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not."
267 You want to kidnap the prince, right?
Neczrei felt very strange. Although he did not think that his name was so famous that anyone would recognize him, Neczrei felt that the pressure he carried was still quite great, especially now that he was not restraining his aura like he did in Kazdel.
On the contrary, after Nieczrei realized that something might be wrong with Neve, he spread his pressure as much as possible, just like the siren of the Guards. He was not afraid that the criminals would hear it, but that they would not hear it. Although the siren might scare the criminals away, there was no doubt that it also prevented the continuation of the invasion and protected the safety of the victim.
Nie Ci Lei took the initiative to release the pressure based on the same idea. Moreover, when he saw Chen Huijie attacking Ni Fu, Nie Ci Lei was already ready to take action. However, when he saw that the formation did not seem to be attacking Ni Fu, Nie Ci Lei stopped and waited to see what would happen.
Of course, there was another reason. It was the first time that Niecilei had seen this kind of five-element magic array. He didn't immediately understand what this source stone technique was all about. He was worried that if he acted rashly, it would harm Neve.
After Chen Huijie rescued Neve, Nieci Lei also appeared immediately and took Neve to his side without any explanation. During this process, Nieci Lei was very nervous. He was naturally not afraid of this stranger, but his methods were too weird, and it was hard to say whether he would have any unexpected tricks up his sleeve.
But the man was very honest and didn't make any unnecessary movements, which made Niezile feel relieved and he began to plan to have a good communication with him.
However, this person not only ignored his pressure, but also proposed a bet with him as if to show off.
What is he showing off? Is he showing off his new learning to the older generation?
Oh, I am really old. I could actually read this kind of illusion in a stranger.
Netzile had lived for a long time, so he had witnessed what the Sarkaz had experienced on this land. It was hard for him to believe that someone would show kindness to the Sarkaz for no apparent reason.
However, this bet doesn't matter. If he succeeds, it will be a good thing. If not, he can just take the fragment away. Niezilei knows very well what will happen if the fragment of the Fire Demon falls into the hands of others. The corpses of his fellow tribesmen should not be desecrated like that.
So, Niezilei nodded quietly and agreed to the bet.
Chen Huijie smiled slightly, casually held the Flame Demon fragment in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes.
Souls, souls...
In the previous world line, when Chen Huijie settled in Kazdel, he often heard this word. At the beginning, Chen Huijie thought it was some special phenomenon of worship of the dead in the Sarkaz culture, and a cultural symbol that evolved from it.
However, after Chen Huijie came into contact with the Soul Furnace, he realized that the so-called Sarkaz souls were a kind of collective consciousness that actually existed, and it was also the final destination of the Sarkaz souls after death.
Chen Huijie had heard countless stories of Sarkaz heroes in Kazdel. Those stories were very exciting, but almost all of them had a special feature. The heroes in these stories would feel the call of the Sarkaz souls at a certain critical point in their lives, and then embark on a more exciting journey.
Even when those heroes are about to die, they will feel the call from the Sarkaz souls and go to their "destined" destination.
What shocked Chen Huijie even more was that many of these stories were adapted from real events. In the previous world line, both Aunt Lamaren and Grandpa Neczre were extremely sure of this fact.
Moreover, these two also gave Chen Huijie a more detailed description. When they felt the call of the Sarkaz souls, that was the moment when they were enveloped by the will of the Sarkaz people. No matter who was enveloped, at that moment, they would feel the emotional catharsis and roar of thousands of creatures.
As for the person who is about to merge into the souls, he will be assimilated in an instant like a candle in a storm or a small boat in the sea.
This was the beginning of a bad situation...
Chen Huijie used the knowledge from his first life to simply understand the complexity of the Sarkaz people. That is to say, he regarded every Sarkaz person as an Internet user. The unique talents of this tribe allowed them to vent their emotions in an exclusive chat room.
However, the status and treatment of the Sarkaz in this land is self-evident. Therefore, over the past tens of thousands of years, this chat room has accumulated too many posts from the Sarkaz venting their emotions, and these posts have been gathered into the 'Souls'.
As time goes by, the number of souls grows larger and larger, resulting in extreme emotions almost everywhere you enter this chat room. Even if there are still friendly posts, under the overall influence, this chat room still presents extremely unfriendly signals to the outside world.
It was in this situation that the newly born netizens, no, the newly born Sarkaz people, due to their special racial talents, were immersed in the 'chat room' formed by the extreme emotions of thousands of ancestors even before they were born. The subconscious of the newly born Sarkaz people was constantly affected by this endless rage and pain.
This is why the Sarkaz always behave so crazily and chaotically.
but....
When Chen Huijie realized the truth about the 'Sarkaz Souls', he had already unknowingly found a solution that seemed to work...
Chen Huijie, who had just started studying abroad, had a very wild path. Lamaren and Neczrei might not have expected that not long after they told Chen Huijie about the past of the Sarkaz, this young man had accidentally entered the realm that only existed in the depths of a certain race's perception at the Soul Furnace.
I have to say that Chen Huijie was really surprised when he first entered. He didn't expect that there would be such a strong awareness lineup like Lu.
But it is impossible to retreat. I have just learned the defensive methods from fighting against the dead souls in the Soul Furnace. Now you are offering them to me on your own initiative, so I will not be polite and will accept them as a whetstone.
That battle of consciousness was over... Actually, it couldn't be considered over. The main reason was that Chen Huijie accidentally entered from the Soul Furnace, which was too unstable. Chen Huijie felt that he could still hold on, but the Soul Furnace pulled him back.
However, this also allowed Chen Huijie to inadvertently find a method, which might make Chen Huijie no longer so passive in the Soul Furnace.
For example, Chen Huijie's consciousness was in the furnace, just like being in pitch darkness. Those dead souls were hiding in the darkness, attacking him here and there. Chen Huijie had no way to fight back and could only defend passively.
But things are different now, old Sarkaz masters, I have learned a new method!
I can find out who posted the message in the Sarkaz Soul Chat Room, and then follow the Internet cable to fight with the Sarkaz ancestor who is still not at peace even after his death. How can I not find you in this small soul furnace?
Then, Chen Huijie had a great time fighting in the Soul Furnace. During that time, even Nie Ci Lei was impressed by the rare quietness in the furnace, so much so that he almost thought that the dead souls inside had returned to the world.
However, Chen Huijie had complicated feelings about this, because as the dead souls in the furnace became less chaotic, the probability of him entering the Sarkaz souls again dropped sharply.
Damn it! This is such a great whetstone, I’ve only used it a few times and it’s useless already!
Moreover, it was then that Chen Huijie realized that the spiritual means he had figured out had also encountered some subtle problems. If he wanted to use those spiritual means, he would have to become a state similar to a dead soul. If he became that state, he would basically be linked to "death".
Of course, if one could achieve a state like 'soul leaving the body', it would also meet the requirements for actual combat, but... for Chen Huijie, who was following the True Dragon bloodline at the time, this was somewhat beyond the scope.
However, the True Dragon Chen Huijie also acquired the sword-wielding technique, so he did not return empty-handed.
As for the current situation, Chen Huijie was finding it too easy to deal with the Flame Demon fragment in his hand. Aren't you furious, dissatisfied, and resentful? Come on, come at me, let me see how strong you are.
Chen Huijie closed his eyes, and Nieci Lei immediately felt the manic consciousness of the Fire Demon erupting from him. That kind of pain, that kind of torture, that kind of suffering of the Sakaz people that he had seen too many times, Nieci Lei experienced it again in the roar of the Fire Demon.
The Scavenger King shook his head silently and prepared to take away the Fire Demon fragment. Even though the Fire Demon's consciousness in the fragment was incomplete, it still could not escape the fate of returning to the souls and becoming a part of the torture of the Sarkaz people. This young man... If he can survive the impact of the Fire Demon's consciousness, then he will give him a ride.
It's not that Nie Ci Lei had any ill will towards Chen Huijie, but he had already conceded that even if Chen Huijie survived by chance, his mind would become stupid and dead due to the impact of the Flame Demon's consciousness. For a stupid foreigner, death was a blessing in Nie Ci Lei's eyes.
only....
Wait, something's wrong.
Niezlei suddenly raised his head. He noticed that the fragmented consciousness in the fragment of the fire demon seemed to be calming down, as if all the anger in his heart was being vented.
Niezilei quickly shook his head slightly, trying to feel it more clearly, and then he realized... Why did it feel like the incomplete consciousness of the Flame Demon was being beaten and howling? Maybe I was feeling it wrong.
After all, Nyetzile was a scavenger, not a dead soul. Therefore, the old man was a little worried about his own perception. He felt that the incomplete consciousness of the fire demon was constantly repeating the cycle of "anger, beat, anger, beat". The cycle only ended when all the hostility in his soul dissipated and it became a state of "anger, just anger".
At this moment, Chen Huijie opened his eyes, smiled and let go of the fragment of the Fire Demon in his hand. Then, the fragment shattered, and Niezlei felt the familiar fluctuations of the souls. The ancestors of the Sarkaz came to welcome this dead soul, and the negative torrent that had accumulated for a long time also emerged.
But that broken Flame Demon soul...
"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, anger, anger, hatred, hatred, okay, I'm done with my anger and hatred, you guys go about your business, I'm leaving first."
Nieci Lei was silent and wanted to raise his hand to knock on his head to make sure whether he was senile and could actually imagine such a vivid and perfunctory scene. At this time, Nieci Lei was rarely annoyed why he was not a dead soul, otherwise he would have felt more details.
"I won."
At this time, Chen Huijie smiled and spread his hands and said:
"Although I don't know what that guy will become after being immersed in the souls for too long, at least now, he is resting in peace, not tormented by resentment and pain. What do you think, Master Niezilei?"
"....Shocks me, kid, you shock me."
Niecile organized his words and then whispered:
"Son, can you tell me how you did it?"
"Actually, I can't explain the underlying principle. Old Master Nieczrei, you should also understand that the soul is a very subtle thing."
Chen Huijie was telling the truth. When he left, the dead souls in the furnace were still discussing how Chen Huijie had done it, and were arguing and fighting over it. Chen Huijie also felt helpless. After all, this kind of thing happened naturally, just like people going to eat when they are hungry. How can he explain it?
"...Although Kazdel has just experienced a turmoil, there are still comfortable places for friends to live there."
To be honest, Neczrei wanted to kidnap the person directly. If he didn't keep this great treasure that might solve the problem of the Sarkaz souls well in Kazdel, Neczrei felt that he would not be able to sleep in the future.
But Niezilei was really not sure. He also felt that the young man in front of him was not someone who would stay quiet.
Damn it, why isn't he a Sarkaz!
Niecilei looked at Chen Huijie seriously. If he could find some racial characteristics of the Sarkaz people on this doll, he would directly shake the corresponding Lord of the Sarkaz Royal Court and ask him to persuade his own bloodline. But unfortunately, let alone the Sarkaz, Niecilei looked at it for a long time and couldn't even tell what race Chen Huijie was.
"No, but I will go in the future. Don't worry, Mr. Niecile."
Chen Huijie naturally understood Nie Cilei's expression. He smiled and said softly:
"Because being anxious is really useless. I don't even understand the principle myself. But compared to this mindless thing, let's study something simpler."
Chen Huijie stretched out his hand towards Nie Ci Lei and said softly:
"Here, shake hands."
"Child, you will hurt my body..."
"I know, so come on, shake hands."
268 You want to show off my prince, right?
Nezilei is extremely powerful. As a scavenger, he can suck the flesh and blood of his enemies. He absorbs the resentment in them and strengthens his own strength. After years of war and fighting, Nezilei's body has become so powerful that even the most powerful blood demon dare not touch it easily.
Therefore, looking at the hand extended by Chen Huijie, Nieci Lei felt a little tricky. The power of the scavenger on him was not a talent, but equipment. Nieci Lei had to strip off the equipment before shaking hands with him. If this precious gem was hurt by the passive power of the scavenger, Nieci Lei felt that he would be hung on the pillar of shame of the Sarkaz sinners.
but....
Putting this issue aside, Nieci Lei really wanted to shake Chen Huijie's hand to respond to this young man's attitude. At the beginning, Nieci Lei didn't understand why he had such an idea. Now, he figured it out. This young man was facing him with an ordinary attitude.
Ordinary, these two words are indeed very common, but for the Sarkaz, these two are rare words. Discrimination, hostility, disgust... No matter where the Sarkaz are or what kind of work they do, these things will never leave their side.
Neczrei wasn't one of those old-fashioned people who were complacent and ignorant of the world. He was well aware that even in distant foreign countries, there were Sarkaz who, through their talent and hard work, had achieved considerable success. They had become leaders in academia, or had made their mark in the business world, becoming influential figures.
However, even though the status of these Sakaz people had undergone tremendous changes, Neczre knew that it was still difficult for them to completely get rid of the shadow of racial prejudice.
Those harsh sounds of attack were like sharp blades, cutting the hearts of every Sarkaz person. Those words were full of contempt and discrimination against the Sarkaz people, which made people feel cold.
There are also those who went out to explore the world with great hope, but returned with scars and fatigue. They recounted the rejection and injustice they suffered in a foreign land, and the inexplicable obstacles that bound them like invisible shackles, making it difficult for them to move forward.
Niezilei has become accustomed to this. He doesn't even want to comfort his tribesmen because comfort is useless. They must either resist or adapt.
And now....
"Good evening, old man. Come here, I'll show you something fun. Give me your hand."
Looking at Chen Huijie's hands, a thought involuntarily emerged in Niecilei's mind. This thought was like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing across his heart - Chen Huijie's hands were so casual and ordinary, without the slightest bit of artificiality or strangeness.
It seemed as if in the eyes of this young man, there was no such thing as racial distinction. These seemingly weak hands were like an invisible bridge, spanning the gap between races and cultures, allowing Niezilei to deeply feel the pure and sincere emotional exchange.
This is not something that can be faked. Niezilei is very sure of it. He has lived for so many years and has met all kinds of people. He doesn't think he can't see this.
But precisely because of this, Niecile felt that he could not hurt this young man. Although this land made people despair, there should still be some seeds of hope. The existence of a young man like this might bring about a new situation in the future that would shock everyone.
"...Actually, as an outsider like you, you might not know that in our Sarkaz culture, shaking hands doesn't represent friendship."
Therefore, after a brief silence, Niecile said these words with gritted teeth. For an old man, he was already trying very hard to avoid the risk of shaking hands.
"Young man, please do me a favor. I'm old and not as strong as you young people, so why don't you help me carry this child, Neve, back home."
After saying this, Niecile felt that this change of topic was really wonderful. It seemed that he was not senile and could still keep up with the thinking of young people.
"Mr. Niecile, I don't know how you see me, but I don't look like a fool in any way."
Chen Huijie sighed helplessly, looked at Nie Ci Lei and said:
"I won't joke about my life without being sure. Come on, Mr. Niecile, if you don't shake hands, you will suffer."
Looking at Chen Huijie's smiling face, Nie Cilei hesitated again and again, but finally reached out his hand. At that moment, when Chen Huijie and old man Nie Cilei's hands, which were full of traces of time, tightly grasped each other, it was as if two completely different forces collided in the air, stirring up ripples that were invisible to the naked eye.
The resentment that had been pent up for many years in Nie Ci Lei's body, as deep as the abyss, suddenly broke free from its restraints like a ferocious beast that was awakened, and rushed straight towards Chen Huijie.
Niecilei had long been accustomed to this power. When he was on the battlefield, he used this skill to kill countless assassins who wanted to take his life.
But this time, Nieci Lei suddenly felt a little disgusted with this power. How could you be so strong? It was so strong that even Nieci Lei himself felt frightened. His soul seemed to be tightly grasped by invisible chains at this moment. Time seemed to freeze and his heartbeat slowed down by a few beats.
Niezlei stared nervously at Chen Huijie's young face. If this seemingly calm boy showed a trace of pain because he could not bear the impact of the resentful force, he would carry him on his back without hesitation and rush to Kazdel City as fast as possible to gather all the best doctors and warlocks there and save this young man's life at all costs.
However, just when Niecilei was extremely anxious, he was surprised to find that an indescribable aura was slowly emanating from Chen Huijie's body.
