"Brother, you are in a daze again." Li Yi came over with a bowl of rich Chinese toon broth. When Tang Yan wasn't paying attention, he quietly took a piece of meat from it and quickly threw it into his mouth without even having time to chew it.
He swallowed it.
"You should call me uncle." Tang Yan woke up from meditation and held Li Yi in his arms with a smile. "My mother asked me to bring this to you. Eat it while it's hot."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"Well, I ate it." Li Yi looked at the bowl filled with broth eagerly. It contained most of the lean meat, which was the best meat. Even the village chief was reluctant to eat it.
Tang Yan smiled and put the bowl in front of him: "Here, you can steal two pieces and I won't tell them."
"Really?" Xiao Li Yi's eyes lit up.
"Really, I'm not hungry."
"Hee hee, uncle, you are so kind." Li Yi was not polite. He didn't care that his hands were hot, grabbed two pieces of lean meat and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Tang Yan showed a relaxed smile. The children here are very pure, as pure as the snowflakes in the sky.
"Yeah!!" Li Yi nodded vigorously, swallowed two pieces of meat hungrily, then looked at Tang Yan with his lips pursed, and after nodding, he quickly grabbed the two pieces of meat in the bowl, his eyes smiling like crescent moons.
"Ahem!" A heavy cough sounded from behind.
Xiao Li Yi froze and almost vomited what he had eaten into the bowl. The two pieces of meat in his hand were hurriedly hidden, and he rolled his eyes and stuffed them into Tang Yan's mouth.
"Yi'er! What nonsense!!" Li Zige shouted with a sullen face.
"I didn't eat." Xiao Li Yi huddled in Tang Yan's arms and stretched out his two greasy hands: "Look, there is nothing."
"You..." Li Zige waved his hand and was about to slap him.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Yan stopped him with a smile and patted Li Yi's little butt: "Little guy, run away."
Little Li Yi stuck out his tongue at Li Zige and ran out quickly.
Li Zige apologized and said, "The child is not sensible. Brother Tang, don't be like him."
"You're a kid, it's okay." Tang Yan raised his hand and said, "Sit down."
"Brother Tang, are you getting used to living here?" Li Zige sat down with a sword and a golden horse, his every move was filled with fierceness, and he was no longer as afraid as before.
After half a month of getting along, they had become clear about Tang Yan's gentle temperament. If it weren't for the horrific scene that day still fresh in their memories, they wouldn't even want to believe that this sunny-looking young man could be a super strong man.
However, the calmer and gentler Tang Yan became, the more mysterious and awe they felt, or the 'respect' began to be far greater than the 'awe'.
Tang Yan looked around at the ice and snow outside Shicun. Although the wind was blowing and the snow was piled up, the pure color of heaven and earth, the cool temperature, and being far away from the hustle and bustle of mountain village life were a rare spiritual habitat for him who had just experienced a disaster.
.
"Brother Li, I see that everyone in the village has a birthmark on their forehead. What does it mean?" Tang Yan found that everyone in the village, from newborn babies to elderly people, had the same mark in the same position -
Rebel!
Li Zige shook his head and sighed: "This birthmark is the reason why we live in a harsh world of ice and snow. The word treason means traitor. Our ancestors once raised a flag to rebel, intending to overthrow the dynasty and establish a new kingdom. As a result... our ancestors
Defeated, defeated completely.
All the affiliated forces were slaughtered, leaving us alone to survive. The royal priests sealed our bloodline and sent us to fend for ourselves in this cold snowfield, leaving us to endure all the suffering and destroy ourselves.
This word of betrayal is the symbol of the seal. It has been with the children since they were born. It will suppress our growth, disrupt our bloodline, and prevent us from displaying our true abilities. The advanced martial arts realm is the limit, and it will be difficult to cross even half a step in our lifetime.
"
"Is your bloodline related to your eyes?"
"Yes, the bloodline symbol of our clan is white pupils." Li Zige was silent for a while and said without reservation: "Our bloodline inheritance is called the Beast Soul Contract. Accept the baptism of the spiritual spring to awaken the bloodline and find suitable cubs.
After entering into a master-servant contract, a person can only own one contract monster, and it will accompany us all until death.
But we survivors, whose bloodline is sealed and do not have the spiritual spring to cleanse our bloodline, can only independently attack the power of the seal between the ages of four and eight, when the power of the bloodline is strongest. At that time, we will give our children
They look for suitable cubs and reach a contract agreement with them, which is like an exchange of souls."
"Is the level of the monster that makes the contract randomly selected, or is it related to bloodline?"
"Related to bloodline, it is divided into three, six, and nine levels. High-level bloodlines have strong soul power, can withstand the souls of high-level monsters, and can form bonds with demon kings and even demon kings. Lower-level bloodlines have stronger soul power.
Weak, can only make level 2 or 3 monsters.
It is said that in the era of our ancestors, someone once successfully concluded a soul contract with the demon saint cub. It was he who led our clan to prosperity. It was he who initiated the rebellion in the kingdom. It was his fall that made our clan forever bear the burden of sin as one of the traitors.
name."
Signing a contract with the Demon Saint? Tang Yan secretly marveled. The vast Central Plains of the Qingtian Continent is indeed full of wonders. All kinds of bloodlines are mysterious and unpredictable. There is actually a bloodline that can conclude a master-servant contract with the demonic beast!
This is simply a natural beast cavalry team!
Tang Yan asked: "Do you hate him?"
"Hate? How is it possible! He is the hero in my heart and the greatest king of our clan. If I had the same talent, I would give it a try." Li Zige's eyes burned with passion and longing, but soon
He became sad, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Those are all dreams, which can never be realized. Our clan has been suppressed, and the power of the seal has not been loosened after thousands of years. We are destined to hide in the ice and snow and live an ignoble existence. It has been three thousand years, and at first our clan has
There were thousands of people, but now there are only a hundred or so."
"Beast soul contract...the power of the seal..." Tang Yan did not answer, just muttered silently.
Li Zige hesitated for a long time, then made up his mind and said: "Brother Tang, I have an unkind request, I don't know..."
"Huh? Tell me." Tang Yan smiled and nodded.
"There are more than a dozen children in the village who have reached the age of making a contract, and two children are eight years old. If we don't look for the cubs, we may not have another chance in this life. But... the snowy mountains have been too dangerous recently, and there are often
We don’t dare to risk entering the Demon King’s activities. Just... um... could you please..."
Li Zige had never begged anyone before, and today he tried to persuade him for the future of the village, but he swallowed his words again.
"I understand, how many children are there in total?"
Li Zige was pleasantly surprised. He stood up and almost knelt down: "Thirteen."
"I will be back before dark." Tang Yan left a message and left the village.
That night, Tang Yan returned to Shicun and was shocked.
A cub of the Demon King Thunder Eagle, and thirteen cubs of two-headed snow wolves. The huge surprise shocked the nerves of the whole village. Some women hugged each other and cried, the old people bowed to express their thanks in person, and even the strong men such as Li Zige
Their eyes were all dim.
They are all three-level high-level two-headed snow wolf cubs, at the same level as Li Zige's mount. When these children grow up in the future, they will form a powerful snow wolf team to hunt better and protect the village better.
As long as the demon king doesn't attack, they should be able to survive.
Tang Yan took Li Zige aside: "I can try to erase the seal on Xiao Li Yi's forehead, but I'm not 100% sure of success. If you are willing to take the risk, I can make an attempt. If it succeeds, Demon King Thunder Eagle
The cub will be Xiao Li Yi’s contracted monster in the future.”
"The seal of our clan was set by the kingdom's priests. It is said that it is sealed in the blood. This is why our clan has been accompanied by the same birthmark since birth." Li Zige was a little moved, but declined politely.
.In his opinion, this is completely unrealistic.
"The kingdom's priest is the strongest person in the arbitration kingdom?"
"It is said that he is a saint."
"How long has the seal been set?"
"Almost..." Li Zige calculated carefully and said, "Three thousand years, just a lot more."
"Three thousand years, at least thirty generations of inheritance, the seal is no longer as powerful as it was back then. I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee too much. Eighty percent is just a little more."
"Seriously?" Li Zige's eyes widened, he was stunned for a long time, and he asked hesitantly: "Brother Tang, your realm..."
"No need to ask any more questions. If you are willing to take the risk, I can try it. This is my gift to you. Thank you for taking care of me during this period." Tang Yan decided to leave. He could not protect them forever and let Shicun give birth to a child of his own.
The Guardian War King is undoubtedly the best gift.
I originally wanted to find a cub at the Demon Lord level, but the bloodline of the villagers in Shicun has been neglected for too long. Li Yi's mental power is not too strong and cannot withstand the terrifying soul power of the Demon Lord. Not only will he not be able to control it, but he may
Will become the demon lord's servant.
Li Zige hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Please, Brother Tang, if we can succeed, I, Shi Cun, will always..."
"This is what I should do, try my best." Tang Yan interrupted Li Zige, summoned little Li Yi who was wandering around the cub in the distance, and walked into the stone house.
"Zi Ge, why did he bring back the cub of the First Demon King?"
"Didn't you tell him about our situation?"
"Why don't we kill this cub of the demon king tonight to replenish the health of the children?"
Several old people in the village came over and looked at the unconscious demon king cub in the distance with complicated expressions. Devouring the demon king cub? It was something that was unimaginable in the past. If the demon king cub didn't eat them, it would be a disaster.
Got it!
Li Zige looked at the closed stone chamber with bright eyes: "He wants to lift the seal for Yi'er's pure body. The demon king cub is the contracted beast he prepared for Yi'er!"
"What??" The expressions of the clan elders changed drastically, and the young and middle-aged people nearby all looked over in astonishment.
