Chapter 279 Visit

Several days passed.

The ancient holy king of the Holy Flame Realm is lying in a wheelchair.

Eight cloudy compound eyes observed the sanatorium.

This is his new cell.

If it were before, it would be impossible for him to live in such a place, and it would be impossible for him to die.

But... today is different from the past.

Although he spoke very tough words to those young people outside, only he knew...

What he said was just big words.

If he were the old man, he would fight to the end without hesitation.

But now, he was locked up here, pretending to be unwilling to give in, but actually he didn't dare to do anything.

His thoughts gradually drifted back to the battle many years ago.

Actually, it was said to be a battle... but it only took one move.

Just one move.

The absolute strength gap leaves no room for resistance.

The holy king's body couldn't help but tremble.

Fear, deep into his bones, ruthlessly enveloped his mind...

This fear even gave him the idea of ​​taking a step back. Even though he had already left the battlefield, he still had great fear because of the memories at this moment. He even felt that... his feet were a little weak...

The firm heart of a king, the perseverance to be brave and diligent, and the fearless confidence all collapsed in one move.

His spine was directly broken, and even his fists were a little weak.

The golden... giant beast that called itself a tiger, just glanced down at him and easily broke all his pride, turning him into a trembling maggot.

A king, a warrior, doesn't even have the courage to stand up, what else can he do?

Just when he was immersed in sad and desperate memories, he didn't realize that two members of the Holy Flame tribe were visiting him under his nursing home.

It was Li Qi and Shen Shuibi.

Now the two of them look exactly like the Holy Flame clan, perfectly disguised with illusions.

The Holy Flame Tribe is a humanoid race. Of course, it is not very similar in fact. It can only be said that it is barely classified as such.

They are actually some kind of insectoid, resembling some kind of large beetle with long, slender limbs.

It always makes a buzzing sound of flapping wings. Its four slender legs support the segmented body of the Holy Flame Clan. Its carapace opens and closes, and a pair of claws protrude from its mouth.

Their hands are not fingers, but only have two clamps, but they are very flexible and have thorns on them. They can easily grasp and pick up objects, and even use swords and knives.

Yes, this is the weapon of the Holy Flame Clan, but it is not a sword in the usual sense.

They are born with a sword, which is the horn that grows on their forehead when they are born. It is also one of the hardest materials in the entire Holy Flame World.

When they reach adulthood, this horn will fall off and then become their weapon, and their fighting tradition comes from this.

Li Qi is also familiar with this point now, because in the past few days, he has spent time collecting the social form, physiological characteristics, and history of the Shengyan tribe.

After understanding this, they began to infiltrate.

Shen Shuibi cast a spell, turning the two of them into the appearance of the Holy Flame Clan, and then acted here.

This was their second day trying to integrate into the Holy Flame Clan.

Based on Li Qi's investigation results in various places, including consulting books and asking old people, he learned a lot of things.

Especially the arrival of the immortals a hundred years ago.

Originally, this kind of thing was difficult, but fortunately, Li Qi didn't need to learn the language and could easily integrate into it.

Yes, the current lingua franca of the Holy Flame Clan is the language of the world, which is something similar to ancient Chinese characters.

After one or two generations of baptism, the original Shengyan language was no longer spoken here, so Li Qi's standard language even made these Shengyan people think that he was very 'foreign', causing communication to become difficult. Much smoother.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the origin of their names.

The Holy Flame Clan is called the Holy Flame Clan because of the existence of the ‘Holy Flame’.

This is the same as the earth oil in the earth oil world. It is a specialty of the holy flame world. Both the race and the world are named after it.

The Holy Flame is actually the embodiment of the spirit of the Holy Flame people. This kind of beetle has a special talent, that is, they can easily achieve 'resonance'.

This may be due to their evolutionary process. In the past many years, people from the Holy Flame Tribe would gather together at specific times and then use the wings on their backs to make the same sound. This should come from the original gregarious nature of their ancestors. It is possible that they were gathered for breeding.

Due to the lack of body language, eyes, and facial expressions, the Holy Flame Tribe relies on voice for almost all emotional expression.

The sound generators that vibrate the carapace and wings behind them produce chirps that are both their language and their expressions.

Almost all their emotional expressions depend on this.

And the sound... is said to have resonance.

Through resonance, they can coordinate their emotions to a level where everyone resonates with each other. Such a highly resonant spirit will lead them to form a strange collective.

This product is produced by the spiritual resonance of the Holy Flame tribesmen. It is like a dark golden flame, but it actually has no temperature, just because of the shape.

Producing a Holy Flame will cause this group of Holy Flame tribesmen to fall into a state of weakness, just like a side effect of excitement.

And the Holy Flame can greatly enhance the spiritual activity of a member of the Holy Flame tribe, allowing him to enter a mysterious state in a short period of time, as if he had merged into the spirit of everyone.

In this state, their reaction speed, learning ability, and "comprehension" will be improved.

In Li Qi's words, this thing is a collection of "spiritual energy".

It is the "god" of the spirit spirit.

The Holy Flame tribe is born with the ability to gather the spirit of everyone.

And this thing is of little use to other ways, but it is a great tonic for the Shinto.

It is a pure waste to give it to the Holy Flame tribe. They can only use it as a stimulant, but for the Shinto monks, it is a treasure to consolidate the foundation and an excellent building material for building the kingdom of God.

So Li Qi judged that the Holy Flame Realm has a high economic value, and this economic value is reflected in the Holy Flame tribe itself, not in this world.

And in the process of such inquiries, Li Qi learned about the existence of the ancient "holy king" of the Holy Flame tribe.

So, this is why they appeared in this sanatorium.

He took out a certificate to the security guard.

The material is made of the roots and stems of local specialty plants that are dried and woven. The Holy Flame Clan often uses this thing as an information carrier, similar to the function of paper.

"Yes, that's right. We are here to visit the Holy King. This is our certificate. We are historians and want to interview the witnesses of the original incident." Li Qi skillfully vibrated his wings and made a sound.

"History... Don't those who study history now study the history of immortals? Why come here to study this? Can't get funding?" The security guard looked at Li Qi's certificate suspiciously.

The certificate must be real.

Of course, it means "real" in the physical sense.

The Holy Flame Clan does not have the anti-piracy technology at the causal level. They still use the method of seals and anti-counterfeiting marks.

In front of Li Qi, who has the true know-how, this kind of anti-theft is equivalent to nothing.

Moreover, Li Qi discovered that in these worlds outside the domain, the power of the true know-how is terribly strong!

Without the suppression of the heavenly way of the world, Li Qi can easily penetrate many defense mechanisms. Not only is the range much larger, but the penetration power has also become stronger.

However... the function has not changed, it is just more detailed and has a larger scope.

Li Qi easily made two identical certificates based on the other party's anti-theft measures. There is no difference between them and the real ones except that they are fake.

"We have to study and verify each other. I came here to study the twists and turns of the history of the Holy Flame Clan and the vast comparison of the history of the immortals." Li Qi said with a smile.

This direction is more in line with the current situation of the Holy Flame Clan.

Hearing this, the security guard of the Holy Flame Clan suddenly realized, nodded, and handed over the certificate: "So that's the case, then it's time to compare them well, so that those young people who worship the ancients will wake up, please come in."

Li Qi flapped his wings and made a joyful sound.

This is the expression of "laughing", but it's just using sound.

Shen Shuibi said nothing beside him, just followed quietly.

Even if she became a member of the Holy Flame Clan, she was still a social phobia, so she just followed behind.

After taking back her certificate and exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li Qi walked into the sanatorium.

He looked around, the construction style did not look like that of Tang.

But there was also a very obvious flavor of Tianxia architecture, including the carvings of various house-guarding beasts and the patterns of flowers, plants and trees, which were all the patterns of Tianxia architecture.

The erosion was very serious.

In just one generation, these people of the Holy Flame Clan had completely transformed into the Taoist tradition of Tianxia, ​​and their customs, etiquette, values, and even the cultivation methods and aesthetics had all shifted towards the direction of Tianxia.

"It's not from Tang, but there are some humanistic atmospheres. What kind of things are they?" Li Qi frowned and asked Shen Shuibi.

This conversation was completed through the secret transmission of sound, so there was no need to worry about outsiders hearing it.

"Shinto, the arrangement of these house-guarding beasts is the method of Shinto, but not entirely. Some of the atmosphere of the mixture of humanism and witchcraft is really a bit strange. This combination is a bit strange." Shen Shuibi observed the surroundings and analyzed the source of these aesthetics.

As the saying goes, a glimpse of the leopard in the tube can reveal a glimpse of what path this suddenly descended 'immortal' is on, and we can get a glimpse of it from these aspects.

"The interweaving of the way of gods, the way of humans, and the way of witches, uh... this combination is a bit like Baiyue." Li Qi pondered and said.

The land of Baiyue, where witches and humans compete, but at the same time there are a large number of mountain and water gods.

"Baiyue? Indeed, is it a certain ruler of Baiyue who tried to take root in a resource world here? After all, the Holy Flame seems to have great economic value." Shen Shuibi said thoughtfully.

"Not necessarily, let's take a look for now, but the Holy Flame is indeed a good thing, and this world can be fought for." Li Qi said.

As the book says, not everything outside the domain is actually useful. Most of the worlds are very mediocre. Even if it is a specialty, it is just a novelty. There are only a few that are really useful to the world.

It is really a great fortune to be able to encounter a specialty of the level of the Holy Flame at once. Li Qi thinks that this must be brought by his good fortune.

Moreover, after coming to the Holy Flame Realm, the golden good fortune on his body dissipated.

It can be seen that this is the guidance given to him by Zhong Minglou.

Therefore, Li Qi thinks that this world is very valuable and must be fought for.

Therefore, he learned a lot about the history of this world and finally found the existence of the 'Holy King'.

He felt that this was a good place to start.

Even if this world has been occupied by another organization from all over the world, things like horse racing and staking are based on their own abilities.

This is not a place within the world where everyone can discuss things harmoniously and under the rules.

This is outside the territory, and it is a wild world group.

No one cares.

While the two were talking, they soon arrived at the innermost bedroom of the nursing home.

Bang, bang, bang.

Li Qi gently knocked on the door three times.

Then, soon there was the sound of walking inside.

Then, the door opened, and inside was a female member of the Holy Flame tribe.

It is easy to distinguish this point. Although there is no physical difference between men and women in the Holy Flame tribe, and the faces and mouthparts of these beetles have no gender characteristics, women do not have wings.

"Excuse me? Who are you two?" She said in...well, a fluent world language.

Zhang Lila was a little confused, someone would actually come to visit the Holy King?

"Hello, we are historians." Li Qi repeated his old trick and took out his ID.

However, this time he changed his rhetoric: "We want to learn about ancient knowledge and feel that we want to organize the ancient history belonging to the Holy Flame Clan for research and publicity, so we want to interview the Holy King."

He changed his words because Li Qi knew very well that for this ancient holy king, only such words could be accepted by the other party.

If you continue to say that you are here to promote the great immortal culture, you will probably be kicked out.

Li Qi is very familiar with this pattern of speaking human words to others and lying to ghosts.

"Interview?" Zhang Lila took the certificate and looked at it.

It does have formal anti-counterfeiting marks and seals.

However, she was still a little wary, so she said: "I'm sorry... The Holy King is currently resting and does not accept private interviews. Please submit your application to a formal organization. After we receive the invitation, we will notify you of the interview."

However, before she finished speaking, suddenly, a voice came from inside.

The holy king took the initiative and said:

"Lila, let them come in. I want to see what young people who are interested in the history of the Holy Flame tribe look like."

Zhang Lila made a buzzing sound, which was the ‘frown’ of the Holy Flame Clan.

However, since the Holy King had spoken, it was hard for her to say anything.

"Then please come in with me. The Holy King is not in good health, so be careful." After she finished speaking, she made way for Li Qi and Shen Shuibi to enter.

Li Qi and others went in and saw the old Shengyan tribesman sitting in a wheelchair.

This is the ancient holy king.

The Lord of the Sixth Rank World.
