Chapter 211: Sacrifice to the Beast God (11)
Chapter 211: Sacrifice to the Beast God (11)
A humanoid monster? That sounds interesting, but...
"Human beast, can't you speak?"
Mo Ci asked, his eyes fixed on Li Yan.
But in my heart, I was thinking that Li Yan came here accidentally after falling off a cliff.
Does this prove that there is a teleportation array hidden somewhere here?
Or maybe it wasn't a teleportation array, the other party was just traveling through time.
Li Yan swallowed, leaned against the stone wall again, and nodded fearfully.
"Yes, neither humans nor beasts can speak, but as long as a person makes a contract with a human or beast, they can communicate in their minds just like the monsters."
To put it another way, this so-called human-beast is a monster with a similar appearance to humans, but cannot speak human language.
Mo Ci glanced sideways at Xuan Sang. Xuan Sang could speak. Could it be that he guessed wrong again?
"Very good. Now I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. If you cheat, you know the consequences."
After getting the answers to the questions he was most concerned about, Mo Ci's expression relaxed and he began to ask Li Yan other questions.
About the world where Li Yan is and the specific situation of him ending up in this place.
As he interrogated him, Li Yan wiped his sweat and answered tremblingly.
I was thinking to myself, this beast can now speak, I wonder what level of cultivation he has reached.
Could he be trespassing on someone's ancestral territory? My life is over!
Li Yan felt very heavy-hearted. He really regretted it now. If he had known earlier, he should not have joined that group of people to look for the human-beast at that time.
Now I have fallen directly into someone else's lair, and I'm not sure whether I can get out alive.
And Mo Ci also learned a lot from Li Yan.
First of all, the place where Li Yan was originally located was called "Tianqing Continent", which is a cultivation plane similar to the Central Region.
On the Tianqing Continent, there are countless immortal gates, large and small, and complex and intricate.
The Li Yan in front of him came from a medium-sized immortal sect. He was one of the best among the young disciples of the immortal sect, but he was too naive.
Just a little provocation caused him to fall off a cliff and arrive on this orc continent.
On the Tianqing Continent, "human beasts" are an extremely rare monster.
When the human-beast was first born, it was the same as other monsters, all in animal form.
When they grow up, the beasts will become human-like.
These human beasts combine the advantages of humans and monsters, have the ability to grow very fast, and are also a type of contracted beast sought after by all cultivators.
Not only are the numbers of humans and beasts small, but they are also difficult to encounter.
The only thing these monks knew was that every five years, Wanbao Pavilion would auction humans and beasts.
The number is usually less than five, and it is the only channel for purchasing humans and animals that everyone knows.
It’s not that no one has tried to find out where Wanbao Pavilion found the human-beast, but no matter who tried to inquire, they got nothing.
This also makes Wanbao Pavilion mysterious.
As for why the human and the beast cannot speak, Li Yan doesn't know either.
He only knew that humans and animals could not speak from the beginning, so he also concluded that humans and animals could not speak.
This also led to Li Yan's panic-stricken and embarrassed look when he saw Mo Ci talking just now.
Regardless of other things, there is definitely something wrong with the Wanbao Pavilion.
And this orc continent is likely to be just a creature existing in a secret territory in the hands of the other party.
Just like the small secret realm that Mo Ci took over before, different creatures live in it.
However, he used to be the master of the secret realm and could control the life and death of the creatures in the secret realm.
Now, he is a creature in a secret realm, his life and death controlled by others.
It’s true, things change over time.
No one knows when the situation will change.
Mo Ci thought secretly, wondering if he could find a way out of the secret realm here.
In Mo Ci's opinion, Li Yan's strength is not that strong.
Such a person is actually considered a leader among the middle-level disciples of the immortal sect.
From this point of view, the Tianqing Continent, which is similar to the Central Region, does not seem to be that powerful.
However, just in case, Mo Ci still does not plan to force his way to Tianqing Continent with his current abilities.
He needs to accumulate some more strength to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
As for the moment, Mo Ci looked at Li Yan with a dejected face, and did not kill him in the end.
Anyway, he has taken poison, so it would be easy for me to kill him if I wanted to.
Mo Ci ignored Li Yan and began to look around the environment.
Xuan Sang listened to him for so long that he was dizzy and almost dozing off. When he saw Mo Ci stand up, he hurriedly followed him.
The cave was very wide, and the place where they were was only a small area. Mo Ci took out another handful of moonstones and handed them to Xuan Sang.
"Take this and place one every thirty steps, understand?"
Xuan Sang held the moonstones in his hands, nodded repeatedly, counted his steps carefully, and put down a moonstone carefully.
Continue counting steps again, over and over again.
Mo Ci watched him walk farther and farther away. The light of the moonstone also illuminated the size of the cave, allowing Mo Ci to see how big the cave was.
Li Yan, who was cowering on the side, originally planned to take this opportunity to escape, but when he saw the moonstone that Mo Ci took out, he paused and asked timidly.
"Um, is that a spirit stone?"
The rich spiritual energy emanating from the moonstone allowed Li Yan to feel it even from a distance.
Out of curiosity, Li Yan had to give up escaping and satisfy his curiosity.
Let’s think about it in a worse way. What if he runs away this time and just escapes from the wolf’s den and falls into the tiger’s den?
What if he can't escape at all?
After all, the person in front of him didn't look like a good person.
With this thought in mind, Li Yan comforted himself, at least he had saved his life temporarily, right?
Mo Ci turned his head to look at Li Yan and nodded slightly.
"It's a spirit stone. It has another name, moonstone."
"Moonstone..."
Li Yan murmured again, his eyes falling on the moonstone that was emitting a soft light. He really felt that the name was quite appropriate.
He looked at Mo Ci and wanted to say something, but because he was timid, he kept his mouth shut.
On Xuan Sang's side, the moonstones in his hand were almost used up, and he had not yet reached the end.
As they walked further and further away, Mo Ci's voice came from the other end.
"Xuan Sang, come back."
Xuan Sang put down the last moonstone and ran over immediately. Worried that he was too slow, he simply turned into a snow leopard and quickly returned to Mo Ci.
Li Yan, who was watching this scene, opened his mouth wide again, as if he had thought of something, and muttered softly.
"It seems that my master also has such a human-beast, but he keeps it on his snowy mountain, so no one else can see it."
Mo Ci keenly caught something. He first raised his hand to pat Xuan Sang on the head, then looked at Li Yan.
"What did you just say? Say it again."
"what?!"
Li Yan realized that his mumbling was heard, and immediately spoke again in a louder voice.
"I say, my master also had a human beast, but it was much smaller than yours. He kept it on his barren snowy mountain. I only saw it once."
Much smaller means that the human-beast at that time was still just a snow leopard cub and could not transform into human form.
These words... Mo Ci went to see Xuan Sang, who had become a child, and wanted to ask something, but for some reason, he didn't really ask, and just said it.
"What are you going to do next?"
Li Yan was stunned again. Was he asking him?
Li Yan looked at Mo Ci uncertainly, and seeing a hint of impatience on Mo Ci's face, he was sure that she was asking him, and replied immediately.
"I do want to go back to Tianqing Continent, but I haven't found a way to do that, right?"
"Well," Mo Ci nodded, and then said, "Show me the rune of the contracted human-beast."
Li Yan was puzzled. He didn't know what Mo Ci was going to do. Now he could only judge the situation and draw it honestly and show it to Mo Ci.
Looking at this rune, Mo Ci unraveled it and began to draw another rune.
The two runes looked extremely similar. At this moment, Mo Ci grabbed Li Yan and stabbed him in the heart with the tip of the knife.
The blood from the apex of the heart just dripped onto the rune.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Ci cut his finger, and the moment the blood dripped onto the rune, the entire rune emitted a golden-brown light.
Then Mo Ci felt a connection with Li Yan.
Li Yan also looked over in surprise, but unlike Mo Ci, what he felt was more of a shackle.
"This is... ..."
"From today on, I will be your bond master. If you disobey, you will die."
