Chapter 1,192 of the text volume: The Demon Seed of the Barbarians High in the Sky.
Fang Heng and his entourage sat on the back of the falcon.
Last night's cooperation established the most basic trust between Fang Heng and Wangenite.
The two sides began to exchange information with each other.
Fang Heng used the empire's imitation stone of revelation and some information on the 'devil species' and 'evil' in exchange for equivalent intelligence information from Wangenite.
"Are you saying that the 'Demon Seed' is a virus? Tang Mingyue gained the power after being infected with the virus?"
Wangenite frowned and glanced at Tang Mingyue, who was sitting behind Fang Heng.
It took him a while to understand the word virus.
"Well, not only Tang Mingyue, but also you barbarians, homologous virions have also been found in your bodies, but the virions are somewhat different and the symptoms they show are also different."
"symptom?"
"Ahem, you can understand it as a reinforcement method."
Wangenit thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "So this is how you think of demonic abilities."
"what about you?"
Fang Heng has always been curious about how the barbarians advance to demonization, and now he finally has the opportunity to ask.
"The inheritance of the barbarians is very simple. The ancestors believed that the power of demonization comes from blood. About one twentieth of the same tribe is born with the ability to enter the first stage. It is very difficult to enter the second stage from the second stage.
There are very few of our kind, as for the third stage..."
Wangenit shook his head, "There are only a handful of them in the entire history of barbarians."
"After the defeat against the Empire, I was depressed for a while. At that time, I was already determined to die, so I applied to the leader to enter the fifth floor of the Devil's Cave."
Tang Mingyue asked: "Where is that place?"
"The first-level demonic ability can awaken itself. The second-level and third-level demonic abilities must enter the cave of evil spirits to awaken. Once you enter the cave, you will suffer great pain and torture. If the body cannot withstand the demonization,
He will bleed from his orifices and die."
"The fifth floor of the Devil's Cave is the place where you can receive the third-level demonic inheritance ability. If you can survive ten days in the Devil's Cave, you will have the ability to enter the third stage of barbarian demonization."
When Fang Heng heard this, he couldn't help but look to Qiu Yaokang, who was sitting on the back of the falcon on his right.
"Is it a virus?"
"Um."
Qiu Yaokang explained, "There should be virions in the Evil Ghost Cave. Virus infection causes an alienation reaction in the body."
"Some humans may be born with partial immunity to the virus, or may have special constitutions and survive the modification of the body by the virus. They are extremely lucky to fuse with the virus and gain the ability to enter the third stage of demonization."
With that said, Qiu Yaokang turned his attention to Wangenite again.
"You are very lucky."
"No, I didn't completely succeed. After spending a period of time in the cave that was worse than death, when I left the Devil's Cave again, I did have the ability to become a three-stage demon."
"But the backlash is too strong. Every time you use your ability, you will suffer great pain. Only the Stone of Revelation can temporarily relieve this pain."
Wangenite recalled the tearing pain that his body felt every time he used his demonic ability, with a ferocious look on his face, "I can feel that my body can no longer support it for too long, and it will soon be over."
Because of this, the Stone of Revelation can only provide relief, but it cannot completely repair my body."
Fang Heng couldn't help but look at Tang Mingyue behind him.
Tang Mingyue also absorbed the power of the demon seed.
But she looked very normal, with no signs of backlash at all.
Is it a special constitution?
Wangenite continued: "In order to find a way to resolve the broken body, I entered the Evil Ghost Cave again, and found some messages left by some of the barbarian ancestors deep in the cave."
"Andrast, the founder of the human empire, once discovered the "demon seed" with our barbarian ancestors and shared the power of the demon seed."
"The difference is that the barbarian ancestors entered the Devil's Cave and died more than ten years after inheriting the power of the demon species, but Andrast survived for a long time."
"I think Andrast is the only one who has completely controlled the power of the 'demon seed'."
Wangenit's eyes gradually became firmer, "Yes! She must have a way to deal with the backlash from the 'devil species'."
With that said, Wangenit turned to Tang Mingyue and asked, "You have also accepted the power of the demon seed, but you don't seem to have suffered any backlash at all."
Tang Mingyue's face darkened when she mentioned this.
Forget it.
It was really cool when I first got the demon seed.
But before he had enough fun, he was sealed.
There is indeed no backlash now, but even his own strength cannot be used, and he has become a drag.
Tang Mingyue said: "This is the first time I have heard about the empire's ancestors. I haven't felt the backlash you mentioned, so I can't help."
Wangenite fell silent.
He was very doubtful about Tang Mingyue's words.
Tang Mingyue is the inheritor of the royal family, does she really know nothing?
Of course, it is also possible that because it has been so long, even the royal family has completely forgotten many things.
"Ahem..."
Fang Heng coughed lightly, broke the silence, and continued: "What does this have to do with our search for the imperial tomb?"
"Hmph, the late Emperor Andrast who founded the empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the imperial mausoleum. Even now, it is still closely guarded by imperial guards. I think there must be something shady hidden inside."
"In addition to this, there are also many rumors about the imperial mausoleum. I also heard some information from the royal family about what Andrast left in the imperial mausoleum..."
Wangenite paused as he spoke, and said in a deep voice: "In short, no matter whether the rumors are true or false, as long as they are secrets related to the demon species, it is necessary to go and investigate. I believe that some information about the 'devil species' can be found there.
clue."
Fang Heng suddenly realized, "So your goal from the beginning was the Imperial Tomb? The first-order demonized barbarians we encountered in the underground world were also prepared to sneak into the Imperial Tomb?"
"Well, you are right, those are the elites of our barbarians."
At this point, Wangenite had no need to hide anything. He continued: "I have tried to explore the imperial tomb several times, but unfortunately I encountered fog in the imperial tomb every time."
"That kind of fog is very weird. It can swallow up my perception, making it difficult for me to find an exit in the fog. After several inquiries, I learned that this kind of fog is a necromancy technique."
"The barbarians have limited knowledge of magic, so I have been looking for a necromancer who can help me pass through the fog these days."
"The number of necromancers on the mainland is rare. At first, I thought that if I couldn't find them, I would just find a way to invade the imperial tomb, completely destroy the passages in the area, destroy the fog, and enter the lower level to explore."
Wangenit told the whole plan, "But now that I have found your help, those barbarians who stayed in the underground world don't have to stay anymore."
