About half an hour later, the water buffalo let out a muffled roar, turned over, and went into the forest, clearing a path in the dense forest.
Teacher You heaved a sigh of relief and shouted to the students who were watching the battle, "I can't make it every time. There's a mature ferocious beast on the other side. I don't dare to provoke that guy. You guys be careful!"
Seeing that the battle was over, the woman in white beside Luo Kai jumped onto the giant-horned deer's back and prepared to leave.
"Hey, I'm Luo Kai. What about you?"
The woman looked back at him with a slightly surprised expression. She replied, "I'm Luo Xuan."
"Hey, we have the same surname. Can I ask you for advice on music in the future?"
This time, the woman didn't reply. Instead, she glared at him, patted the giant-horned deer's neck, and galloped away.
Luo Kai was a little speechless. He really just wanted to ask for advice on music. He looked around and walked downstream along the river. He saw many ferocious beasts huddled together. If there were any that were stupid enough to attack him, he would take care of them. Every ferocious beast had a number card nailed to its chest and abdomen. He collected seven or eight cards along the way. He didn't want to kill these defenseless ferocious beasts. If they were ferocious beasts in the wild, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the ferocious beasts here had obviously lost a lot of their wildness. They were like animals in the zoo, so it was hard to kill them.
Gradually, he reached the end of the river. There was a research base surrounded by a ten-meter-high concrete wall. There were many cannons on the wall, and there were also mecha guards patrolling.
He took off his long gown and jumped into the river. The cold water was very comfortable. He took a bath and then lay down on the shore to take a nap. The fresh water at the tip of his nose was like the best hypnotic. He fell asleep quickly.
The few mecha guards on the wall looked at him and muttered to themselves, 'This kid is really smart. He knows that this is the safest place.'
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Kai suddenly felt the blood in his body rising. He opened his eyes. At this time, the sky was already dark. The darkness reflected all the changes in the surrounding environment back to his mind. He turned his head to look at the research base not far away. A thin old man appeared on the wall. The old man's skin was white, and he had an unusually long aquiline nose. His body was like an ice cave, constantly emitting a cold dark aura. His sunken eyes shone with a strange light as he looked at him.
Luo Kai stood up. The blood in his body transmitted a kind of frequency. It was a kind of intimate frequency that was similar to being born from the same root.
The old man lightly jumped off the wall and walked to the front. He covered his chest with his hand and bowed slightly, as if it was an ancient western etiquette.
Luo Kai was inwardly surprised. He stepped aside.
The old man's bright eyes looked him up and down. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. His voice was sharp. "It's been a long time since I've seen my own kind!"
Luo Kai frowned. From the restlessness of the blood in his body, this old man was very likely a Blood Breed. Moreover, he was also an inheritor of the blood essence.
"You're a teacher at the school?"
The old man chuckled. "Haha, that old fart Yun Ji wouldn't let me go back to the school. I had no choice but to stay here. Old Seven must be dead. That old man is really lucky to have lingered on for so many years. You're very young, but your blood energy is very strong. Old Seven really found a good inheritor!"
"Old Seven?
Is it Li Gui? "Luo Kai's expression changed. Old Seven shook his head.
Old Seven shook his head, but then he nodded and said, "It seems he didn't tell you a lot of things. That old man is known as the Thousand Faced Demon. He has a mirage pearl that allows him to change his appearance at will. He also has countless fake names. However, we vampires are born with telepathy. Every Saint Bloodworm is unique. My intuition isn't wrong. You have obtained Old Seven's inheritance."
Li Gui had indeed used a treasure called the mirage pearl. It seemed that this old man really knew Li Gui. Luo Kai pondered for a while and continued to ask, "It's said that the Blood Breeds have twelve drops of blood essence. In other words, there are twelve inheritors. Are you one of them?"
"That's right. I'm the inheritor of the fifth drop of Holy Blood. According to the order, I'm Old Five. The Li Gui you're talking about is Old Seven. In the early years, this old man was studying together with me at Shang Jing University. In the end, he couldn't resist his instinct and sucked the blood essence of a few students. Yun Chan found out and smashed his heart. For us Blood Breeds, once the heart is damaged, we can no longer condense blood energy. However, this old man is really something. He actually survived and escaped the pursuit of the Judicial Department!"
Luo Kai didn't expect Li Gui to have such a past. These days, he had some understanding of the blood essence in his body. This kind of Holy Blood Worm was similar to the ancient Gu from southern China and Southeast Asia. It was a very small microorganism, countless times smaller than a cell. Once it entered the body of a living being, it would multiply and form a microscopic net to filter out the dark energy.
At the same time, it would affect the host's body and mind, causing the host to involuntarily have a desire to drink blood. The energy in his body was complex and varied, and blood energy was only one of them. Coupled with his strong willpower, the Holy Blood Worm's ability to devour blood had no effect on him. However, it was hard to say for others.
In the early years, Li Gui had said that he had studied at Shang Jing University. However, the Blood Breeds had always been listed as heretics by the Body Arts Association. How could this old man openly stay at Shang Jing University?
The old man seemed to have seen through his doubts and said, "Yun Chan, that old fart, is very interested in the method of condensing blood energy. That's why he allowed me to stay here.
Alright, you still haven't told me your name. "
Luo Kai hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm Luo Kai."
The old man's name was Liu Zhi, and he was currently a teacher at Shang Jing University. He was also the person in charge of this research base. Occasionally, he would go to Shang Jing University to teach about the use of dark energy.
There were some humans who were born with an affinity with dark energy, but their numbers were very small. Furthermore, dark energy could cause people to become dark and narrow-minded, making it easy for them to walk the path of evil. Shang Jing University pursued the principle of education without discrimination. There was no good or bad energy, and the key was whether the user's willpower was strong enough. Therefore, they would often accept such students, and the education and experience they received would change their temperament.
While the two of them were chatting, there was a huge commotion in the valley. A group of students ran over in panic, and behind them was a large group of short and stout monstrous monkeys. The monstrous monkeys let out squeaking sounds, and continuously threw the short spears in their hands at the students. Although these monstrous monkeys were short and small, their strength was astonishing. After each short spear was thrown, it created a sharp whistle, and the force was very strong. A few students couldn't dodge in time and immediately fell to the ground after being hit by the short spears. They let out desperate cries for help, but the ones running in front didn't dare to look back, and were instantly drowned by the monstrous monkeys.
These monstrous monkeys were the ones Luo Kai had encountered before. Naturally, they weren't a threat to him, but to the other students, they were a disaster. Intelligent creatures were best at fighting together, and there were many of them. Once they were surrounded, they would die without a doubt.
Liu Zhi didn't go forward to help. Instead, he laughed coldly, "Hehe, human monkeys aren't that easy to provoke."
"Human monkeys?" Luo Kai's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right, these monkeys' ancestors were all prisoners on death row. Originally, we thought that throwing them into the Beast Suppression Valley would cause them to evolve, but the result was the opposite. Their intelligence became lower and lower, and they even degenerated."
