Chapter 428 Matthew’s Land
Xi Qiong thinks today is her lucky day.
She got up early in the morning and left the settlement, heading to the Red Mushroom Forest to scavenge. Although she gained nothing in the first two hours,... what did she find? !
A man!
oh! The sun god is up!
Queen Matthew favors you!
Xi Qiong has only seen men a handful of times since she was a child, and even those few times, they were only a few old people...
Men...
It is the rarest species in the land of Matthew and the most precious treasure!
It is said that the lord of the settlement, Ms. Kramer, only has two men, and both are in their forties. However, even so, many women in the settlement are envious.
Ninety-nine percent of Matthews will never have the opportunity to touch a man in their entire lives. That is what they dream of most.
The reproduction of the residents of Matthew generally relies on underground rivers, and the offspring born from intercourse with men are born with the most noble status——
Lightborn!
This is completely different from the bloodline of ordinary Matthew people, because it is said that in ancient times, only the intercourse between men and women was the normal reproduction, and this was also a symbol of "light descendants".
Xi Qiong stared closely at the man who was "dumbfounded" not far away, and her eyebrows were filled with joy.
Although she didn't know why he was wearing strange black clothes and that silly hat, she had never seen such a handsome man... The most important thing was that this man was so young!
Youth means long life and its value is inestimable!
"Great... As long as I can capture this man, then I will also become a superior person in the 'Tree Root Settlement', and the children I will give birth to will be proud of me, and maybe I can even receive an audience with the queen!"< br>
The more Xi Qiong thought about it, the more excited she became, and her originally pale face turned red.
But the next second, she looked confused again.
"But... having such a handsome young man will definitely be jealous and coveted by other people in the settlement. Those stinky women in Korda may try their best to frame me and take away my treasure... Moreover, if something happens What should I do if Ms. Remer asks me to hand over this man?”
Xi Qiong looked hard.
"Whoever wants to steal my things, I will kill her! This man is mine! It must be mine!"
She immediately saw the opportunity, ejected like a cheetah, and attacked Chen Lun from behind.
Xi Qiong's figure was strong and strong. In the blink of an eye, she came behind Chen Lun. She raised her palms and put her five fingers together, slashing down with a knife.
In her eyes, the man in front of her stood there stupidly, as if he hadn't reacted at all. A smile suddenly appeared on Xi Qiong's face.
However, just when she was worried about hurting the opponent and considering whether to take back three points of her strength, the man suddenly turned his head and stretched out his hand.
The slender palm caressed her gently, like light breaking through the clouds, and immediately grabbed Xi Qiong's neck before the knife fell. Time seemed to stand still, and the opponent's speed was so fast that Xi Qiong's hair stood on end.
"Hoo..."
The force of the hand holding her neck suddenly increased, and with a slight shake, Xi Qiong felt her breathing stagnant, her vision went dark, and her whole body was numb, as if she had lost her strength.
Chen Lun held her up with an interested smile on his face.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"
Xi Qiong felt a little annoyed that she was actually counterattacked by her prey.
She secretly thought in her heart, since this man has some strength, then she should take action!
Buzz!
Several black ghosts appeared on her body, wailing and wrapping around Xi Qiong's arms, seemingly providing her with some kind of blessing.
With a snap, Xi Qiong clamped Chen Lun's wrist with both hands and stirred it downwards at 180 degrees, as if intending to break his hand before subduing him.
However, even if she tried her best, she couldn't move the man's hand at all.
Her tightly clamped hand was like an extremely strong metal pipe. Xi Qiong gritted her teeth and made her fingers crunch, but it didn't help.
"Extraordinary?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised and raised his eyelids to glance at this woman.
"[Moon Sequence Nine-Psychic Medium]? It seems a little different..."
He shook his head slightly, grabbed Xi Qiong's neck and slammed it to the ground.
boom! !
A pit was directly smashed into the ground, and fine and sticky red and black sand was splashed everywhere. Xi Qiong screamed and collapsed to the ground vomiting blood.
This was because Chen Lun restrained most of his strength, otherwise this blow could kill her directly.
"Answer the question I just asked."
Chen Lun stood aside, lowered his head and said calmly.
Xi Qiong wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes showing shock and dissatisfaction. She tried to stand up, but failed after several struggles. Even so, she didn't speak.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
He guessed that maybe it was because of the language barrier that the other person didn't understand what he was talking about.
‘Forget it, just use [Thought Stealing]. You should be able to get information and intelligence about this world from her...’
Chen Lun's calm eyes met the woman's angry eyes.
[You used mind stealing on the target "Xi Qiong"! 】
【Will determination...】
[The opponent's will is 40 points, yours is 82 points, the judgment is successful! 】
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, some more information appeared in his mind.
This information left him momentarily surprised and confused.
'It turns out that this place is called the Land of Matthew. The humans living here underground call themselves descendants of the sun. They all believe in the sun god Martyr Father and long to return to the surface. However, they have been unable to do this for hundreds of thousands of years. , the reason is unknown...'
The division of the land of Matthew was like the feudal dynasty in ancient times.
Each of the four queens is on one side, with small and large settlements under them, ruled by local lords.
What surprised Chen Lun was that this area belonged to a feminist society, not because men had low status, but because the number was too rare... Rare naturally meant precious.
The reproduction of the Matthew people depends on the "underground river", but Xi Qiong could not find much information about the "underground river" in his mind. Chen Lun guessed that it might be some kind of extraordinary wonder, otherwise it would not be possible " Create human beings."
On the contrary, men actually have a very high status in the land of Matthew. They can enjoy various benefits without doing almost any labor... However, they need to please the superiors in all aspects, including reproduction.
This is also the true meaning of men's survival here.
Because female dignitaries believe that only the union of men and women can give birth to descendants favored by the Sun God... The land of Matthew was abandoned by the Sun God, but they never forgot the Sun God's grace, so they used this method to express their gratitude to God. of respect.
This is a world unknown on the surface. For thousands of years, few people have been here.
The dark red "sun" in the sky is said to have existed since the birth of the land of Matthew. It is affectionately called the "Red Mother" by the Matthew people, but it cannot be approached at will. There once was a queen who flew into the sky. Wanting to get close to "Red Mother", he lost control and died suddenly.
It is eternal and has always stood on the dark dome. The warm light it sheds gives life and vitality to the land of Matthew. It is also the only source of light for the people of Matthew, allowing them to recall the true sun.
Another thing that shocked Chen Lun was that almost all the women in Matthew's land were extraordinary! And he is a unified moon path transcendent!
They are Sequence Nine from birth, and a small number of them can be promoted to Sequence Eight when they reach adulthood... However, they all think that this is a punishment from the Sun God, because no one can live long, and the average life span of the Matthew people does not exceed Forty years old!
‘What a strange world…’
Chen Lun took a deep breath to digest the complicated information.
A long while.
He looked down at the woman, who was still staring at him, but the resentment in her eyes had long since dissipated, leaving only desire and greed.
"I know you understand what I say, Miss Xi Qiong."
Chen Lun said.
He knew the other person's name from the other person's mind, and also knew that the language of Matthew's land was actually very similar to that on the surface. Although the accent was slightly different, communication was still no problem.
"You...how do you know my name?!"
The woman looked shocked and finally spoke.
She thought for a while and then raised her head and said:
"And, you... you shouldn't have such power. This is the punishment of the Sun God. Men cannot be punished... Are you an outsider?!"
"Prisoners are not qualified to ask questions."
Chen Lun said lightly.
He waved his hand casually, and the life force of the [Jingzhe] bookmark spread out, instantly healing Xi Qiong's injuries, which made the other party even more shocked.
"Who are you..."
She opened her mouth and forgot to get up from the ground for a moment.
Chen Lun snapped his fingers, and Xi Qiong's body levitated uncontrollably and floated in front of him.
"Take me to your settlement. I want to have a good chat with Lord Kramer."
Xi Qiong was stunned by this man's endless methods.
She immediately became confused about Chen Lun's request.
What on earth is this strange man going to do?
"You can choose to agree or not, but if you refuse my request, I will kill you."
Chen Lun's calm tone made Xi Qiong's hair stand on end.
In her impression, although men were always arrogant, they were also extremely weak. They would even flatter and please powerful women, but the man in front of her shattered her inherent perception.
"I...I promise, I will take you there!"
Xi Qiong already knew that she was no match for this man, and she felt a little in awe of him, which made her feel incredible.
Although Chen Lun obtained the location of the "Tree Root Settlement" from Xi Qiong's mind, he decided to be cautious. Without knowing the exact power of Matthew's Land, it was best to keep a low profile and temporarily cover up his strength.
The woman named Xi Qiong in front of her is a very good tool.
The other party is a local and a member of the inconspicuous scavengers in the nearby "Tree Root Settlement". This red mushroom forest often has various substances thrown out from the turbulent flow of the spiritual world, and this group picks up these substances. Survive.
Xi Qiong was put back on the ground by Chen Lun, letting her lead the way.
The two walked slowly in the red mushroom forest, heading deeper.
At first, Xi Qiong was a little nervous, but as time went by, she found that this man was not as vicious as she thought, so she mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice:
"You...what is your name? Am I qualified to know?"
"You can call me Jack."
Chen Lun looked forward and said calmly.
"Jack..."
Xi Qiong muttered.
She suddenly saw something, and hurriedly ran forward a few steps. She picked two spherical black mushrooms from under a huge mushroom not far away, and said to Chen Lun with a joyful expression:
"Jack, look what I found? This is the 'Sweet Ball Mushroom', which is very popular in the tree root settlement! And the price is very expensive, I can't afford it... It's delicious, sweet, Give you one!”
Xi Qiong was like a girl sharing candy, passing a mushroom to Chen Lun.
Looking at her expectant eyes, Chen Lun gently took it.
"Thank you."
But he did not put it into his mouth immediately. Instead, he tested the mushroom through the panel and confirmed that it was harmless before taking a bite.
Pfft...
What surprised Chen Lun was that this mushroom turned out to be like a peach, juicy and very sweet in his mouth, and had a taste similar to apples and oranges.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Xi Qiong asked quickly.
Chen Lun nodded, and she immediately exclaimed with joy.
"Jack, where are you from?"
I wonder if this episode made Xi Qiong feel that the relationship between the two has become closer. She asked carefully while tasting the sweet mushroom.
Chen Lun thought for a while and answered tentatively:
"Surface."
"The surface...huh?!"
Xi Qiong didn't react for a moment. She stopped suddenly, still holding half a mushroom in her mouth, and stared blankly at Chen Lun.
"You...didn't you lie to me? How can people on the surface come here? This is impossible..."
Chen Lun did not answer this question, but urged:
"Keep leading the way."
"Okay...Okay."
Xi Qiong came to her senses and continued walking, but her face was full of doubts and curiosity, as well as a hint of hope.
"Is there a sun on the surface of the earth? Is it bright, bright and warm? What is it like there?"
She asked Chen Lun in a low voice with a trembling tone.
Chen Lun heard a strong desire in her voice, just like a dying traveler in the desert, desperately thirsting for water.
He knew that that was the Matthew people's belief in real sunlight and what they dreamed of.
"Yes, it is very bright and warm. There are four seasons on the earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter. There are all kinds of beautiful plants, countless animals, and different countries and civilizations."
Chen Lun said softly.
A smile broke out on Xi Qiong's face, and her eyes were bright.
She did not ask how Chen Lun came to the land of Matthew. During the rest of the journey, Xi Qiong stopped asking questions and fell into abnormal silence.
Soon, Chen Lun followed her to a village surrounded by stones and vines.
This place doesn't look big, and there are two female warriors guarding the gate.
They wore armor woven from strange carapace and carried a homemade stone spear in their hands. Their hair was disheveled and their skin looked sickly pale.
Seeing Xi Qiong's return and the withered sack on her shoulder, they originally wanted to laugh...but when they saw the men following behind her, their eyes immediately widened, and one of them even licked his tongue.
"Wow! Xi Qiong! Look what you brought back? A man!"
"My sun! It's incredible to be so young and so handsome!"
The faces of the two guards were flushed, and their eyes showed greed.
"I really want to get him on the bed so that I can give birth to a Lightborn!" (End of Chapter)
