Chapter 34: Pregnancy Stealing and Gluttony
Li Sheng and Xiao Chen, who escaped from the Abnormal Inn, quickly found a secluded place to chat and recuperate.
Xiao Chen also sat on the ground in despair, just lamenting that the two of them had a very bad fate.
I thought I would have a place to have a good rest, but who knew that not only did I not have a good rest, but I lost four brothers.
Now there are only two of them hiding here exhausted, which can be described as extremely miserable.
Li Sheng was not as depressed as Xiao Chen. He found an incense burner and some incense sticks and worshiped Xu Ke in accordance with the law.
As the four pillars of incense were lit, Xu Ke felt the soul-nourishing ingredients in the incense.
After enjoying it for a while, Xu Kecai leisurely said to Li Sheng and Xiao Chen who were prostrating on the ground:
"Yes, you are very calm and decisive in doing things this time, and you have accomplished a great merit. You don't know how to save me." How many lives have been saved?”
Although Xiao Chen admired Xu Ke for saving their lives before and showing such great power.
But their current predicament is real.
I am a partially disabled person, walking with a limp.
Brother Sheng is running around and working hard with himself as a burden, and there is no hope at all.
When he was a child, he followed his mother to the temple to offer incense.
They all say that you have to endure hardships and you will be rewarded by karma in the future.
As a result, he suffered for half his life without provoking anyone.
As a result, he became disabled and was treated as a fugitive, unable to return home.
Just when Xiao Chen was dejected, Xu Ke added:
"Since you have made a contribution, I will naturally praise you."
"First of all, it is you. , Chen Tianfu ”
As a cloud of Yin Qi descended, an insect sprang out from nowhere.
While he was distracted, he rushed straight into Xiao Chen's ear.
Xiao Chen was startled and rolled on the ground repeatedly, reaching out to pull out the bug.
Unexpectedly, the insect crawled very fast, got into the ear in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared.
“What kind of strange insect is this? It won’t eat my head!”
Xiao Chen was so frightened that his three souls lost his seven souls, and he quickly begged Xu Ke for help.
But the next moment, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a soreness and numbness coming from the wound on his leg.
Suddenly a large amount of granulation sprouted from the broken wound, and it grew into the shape of a thigh in an instant.
“This!”
When the two of them were horrified, the thigh had begun to take shape, and the five toes on the soles of the feet were clearly defined.
"Does it still fit after you try it?"
Xu Ke smiled and asked Xiao Chen to stand up and take a few steps to see if the newborn's legs were suitable.
【Fetal Seduction: An evil thing parasitic on the human body, which can replace the missing parts of the human body at any time and feed on flesh and blood. If there is no supply of flesh and blood, it will backfire on its owner. When the host's brain is damaged, the fetus-robbing bugs will replace the host's brain and completely occupy the host's body. 】
But in Xu Ke’s view, although this evil thing can take away a person’s body.
But if a person's brain dies, it basically means the end of his life.
Keeping the body is just a piece of shit, it is better to exchange it for the integrity of the body before death.
Moreover, the body parts replaced by the fetus will become extremely powerful, and can even attack or dodge on behalf of the host when the host cannot react.
And from now on, it doesn’t matter whether Xiao Chen’s arms or legs are chopped off.
Even if one or two of the heart, liver, spleen and lungs are lost, they can be replaced by this fetus-robbing bug.
If it is an extreme host, it can even gradually destroy its own body, allowing the fetus-robbing insects to strengthen its physical body in turn.
You can instantly transform into an invincible martial arts master.
But according to ordinary people's ethical views, if only the head is one's own, and the entire body is a mimic transformed by a monster...
I don't know if this person can still be considered a human being. alive.
At this time, Xiao Chen has completed the trial, and he feels that his legs are very flexible and strong. Just like the arms move the fingers, you can't tell that they are the legs that grew later.
It's just that Xiao Chen has been disabled for several days, and he still can't adapt to his legs being intact again.
And the conditions of the two legs are also different, so Xiao Chen may not be able to adapt in a short period of time.
It takes some time to get used to this feeling.
Xu Ke also specifically warned that this leg was transformed by an evil thing, so it must be fed with flesh and blood every month.
The flesh and blood of land animals is sufficient, followed by the flesh and blood of fish.
If it can have human flesh and blood, then this evil thing will naturally feast on it...
Xu Ke also added that if other body parts are damaged, this evil thing can also replace them.
If his head is damaged beyond repair, he will really die.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was also inexplicably moved. He knelt down and kowtowed, sincerely grateful to Xu Ke for his kindness in reinventing him.
Li Sheng on the side was also sincerely happy for his good brother, and was about to kowtow to thank Xu Ke.
Xu Ke added another sentence:
"You are the first to succeed this time, so naturally you will not forget you..."
"This is the blessing [Gluttony] given to you."< br>
[Gluttony: The appetite increases dramatically, and the ability to digest, absorb, and tolerate food is greatly improved. After being injured, the food intake will increase again, and it can absorb food to replenish physical strength, recover from injuries, increase strength, and strengthen the body. 】
【The allure of food to the host has greatly increased, and the host is even more obsessed with pursuing 'alternative' and 'weird' food. If the mind is not firm, it is easy to be eroded by hunger and fall into evil. 】
Like the feast, this gluttony also has extremely negative effects and extremely positive effects.
It’s just that this blessing has extremely high requirements on the owner’s character.
If you have weak control, you may even turn into a cannibal and lose all rationality.
So Xu Ke did not regard it as a family blessing for their Li family.
But just as a personal blessing from Li Sheng.
After all, Li Sheng has experienced so many things and his character has been tempered a lot. He is better able to resist the erosion of hunger than his two children.
After giving them the blessing, Xu Ke also gave them a direction.
“There are official patrols on the land, and the power of the imperial court is relatively strong.”
“It is difficult for you to move within the sphere of influence of the imperial court.”
“It is better to continue. Go eastward from the waterway, and you can accomplish a lot after going out to sea.”
Various forces overseas are intertwined, and the government cannot get in, so there is naturally room for them to develop and become stronger.
"Thank you, Mr. Immortal, for your guidance."
Li Sheng and Xiao Chen were also full of expectations and curious about the unknown overseas, and temporarily suppressed their uneasiness.
…………
Time flies.
I don’t know if it’s because I no longer have physical restrictions.
Xu Ke does not have a very deep feeling about the passage of time.
The only thing that impressed him was that the two children of the Li family gradually became able to run and jump from being hobbled.
In order to live up to her husband's expectations, Mrs. Li specially hired a teacher to educate her two children.
I plan to accumulate some foundation for my two children so that they can be sent to school to learn calligraphy when they reach age.
Fortunately, this dynasty is relatively relaxed about the imperial examination. Even if your father has a criminal case, you can still be qualified to enter the examination room.
As long as it is not a crime of treason, you can have a chance to gain fame.
If the two children can succeed in their studies and obtain official positions, they can also clear their father's wrongdoing and bring glory to their family.
