Chapter 1423 – Hostile Qi
”Great Xia National Fortune?”
Seeing this small golden dragon on his wrist, surprise surfaced in Lin Qiye’s eyes.
He originally thought that this shot of Huo’s was probably trying to come to stop them …… But he never thought that this shot would carry a strand of the Great Xia National Luck and directly infuse into their bodies!
Cao Yuan stared at the small golden dragon on his wrist and spoke in confusion:
”The national fortune entered the body, and the realm doesn’t seem to have significantly improved?”
”These national fortunes, they shouldn’t be used in this way.” The depths of An Qingyu’s eyes were tinted with a gray aura, “Although the spiritual realm hasn’t been elevated, haven’t you guys noticed that …… the consumption of spiritual energy to move the Forbidden Ruins has been drastically reduced?”
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow and carefully perceived the flow of spiritual energy within his body, a joyful color surfaced on his face, “That’s right, these national fortunes seem to be replacing spiritual energy to maintain the operation of the Forbidden Ruins.”
”The effect of these national fortunes should be the same as that of the Commander-in-Chiefs, the Ying Spirits are essentially souls and don’t possess spiritual power, so what they use to move the Forbidden Ruins is also the Great Summer’s national fortunes.” The corners of An Qingyu’s mouth surfaced with a smile, “These national fortunes are enough for us to use our abilities with impunity, without having to think about spiritual energy consumption……. It’s the same as what the Marquis said just now, it can last for at least two days!”
”Won’t the Marquis’ gift of this strand of national fortune to us have an impact on Grand Xia?”
”It shouldn’t be much of a problem if it’s just a few strands like this, but any more than that would probably hurt the fundamentals of the national luck.” Baili Chubby couldn’t help but speak, “This is truly a great gift. ……”
Lin Qiye’s mind conjured up that figure sitting above the flood of national fortune, a warm feeling rose in his heart as he stood up from his somersault cloud, turned to the direction of the island, and deeply saluted:
”[Night Curtain] Squad, many thanks for the gift from the Marquis!”
The rest of the people also rose and saluted.
As the somersault clouds gradually left the vicinity of the sea island, Lin Qiye turned his head and asked:
”It should have already left the range of influence of the National Fortune …… Jiang’er, is there a way to know what’s going on over at Chennan Pass?”
Zuo Qing’s cell phone had been scrapped, and Lin Qiye and the others didn’t have any other means to contact that side for the time being, and now that it was still some distance away from Chennan Pass, it would be best to feel out the current battle situation before arriving at the frontline.
”It’s possible.” Jiang Er nodded, “The Night’s Watch has its own encrypted communication channel, I can directly connect into that channel and eavesdrop on their contact.”
”Good.”
As Jiang’er’s eyes slowly closed, an electromagnetic scrambling sound came out from the Bluetooth stereo on An Qingyu’s waist ……
Lenten House.
In the noisy cafeteria, a teenager wearing a prison uniform slowly put down the chopsticks in his hands.
He stood up, holding his dinner plate, calmly crossed the aisle, put the dinner plate and dishes in his hands neatly into the recycling place, and turned toward the door.
Beyond the plastic curtains, a group of tall and burly prisoners were laughing and talking as they walked into the cafeteria, and almost collided with the teenager head-on. The vicious man at the head of the group furrowed his brows, and was about to curse something, but when he saw the teenager’s face, he swallowed back his words at the edge of his mouth.
The group of prisoners closed their mouths at the same time, and respectfully retreated to both sides, making way for a spacious passageway, in which the man who bumped into the teenager, moreover, almost buried his head to his chest, not even daring to breathe.
The teenager gently brushed away the dust at his bumped shoulder, glanced at the man, and walked towards the outside of the cafeteria without a word.
Only when he was completely far away did the crowd of inmates let out a long breath, their tense bodies relaxing.
Behind the crowd, a young inmate who had just entered the fasting facility not long ago, glanced at the figure going there in confusion, and asked in disbelief, ”Brother Long, what’s that little dwarf’s origin? Just bumping into him, do we need to be so nervous?”
”What do you know?!” The ferocious man in the lead wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead and glared at him, “You came in late, there are some things you don’t understand.
Let me tell you, in this fasting house, you can mess with any other inmates, you can mess with the guards, and you can even be unafraid of death to break out of …… prison, but there are only two people that you absolutely can’t mess with, and you have to go around when you see them.
One is the man who wears psychiatric clothes, has a puffy head, and talks to himself all day long like a madman; the other …… is that teenager.”
”A crazy man and a hairless little kid?” The young prisoner wondered, “On what grounds?”
Hearing these words, the vicious man’s face changed, and he slapped the young prisoner’s head, cursing and speaking, “On what grounds? What do you mean by what? If you don’t want to wake up with only half of your body hanging from the roof, watch your fucking mouth!
If you want to find death yourself, don’t bring us along, get lost.”
The crowd of prisoners pushed him away and hurried into the middle of the cafeteria, seemingly in fear of something.
Open-air activity area.
Wu Quan sat down on a stone in the corner, the sunlight shone on the surface of his body, flowing with a slight warmth, he gently closed his eyes, his entire body relaxing.
As Wu Quan sat down, within a fifty meter radius, all the inmates got up in unison, as if they were avoiding the plague, silently vacating an open space.
He was left alone, basking in the sun in the corner, and began his lunch break.
After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound came from his ears, and Wuquan opened his eyes, only to see that not far from him, a figure wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown was holding a small toy shovel, intently shoveling a weed on the ground.
Seeing that figure, Wu Quan hesitated for a moment, but still got up and walked to his side.
”Old Dog Wu, what are you doing?”
”I’m helping Little Grass Child move.” Wu Old Dog pointed to the shadows cast by the distant wall and said seriously, “It can’t get any sun here, if it continues like this, it won’t grow tall.”
”……”
”I heard that you waifed a dozen prisoners a few days ago and hung them on the roof?” Old Dog Wu turned his head as if he remembered something and asked.
Wu Quan was silent for a moment, “They were the ones who started it, I had no intention of resisting, but after they cursed me, they started cursing my brother ……”
”Your brother?” Wu Lao Dog thought for a moment, “That’s the one you always talk about, Shen Qingzhu?”
”Uh-huh.” In Wu Quan’s eyes, a cold aura flashed up, “No one can insult my brother …… Since they did it, they have to pay the price.
However, I have been using my ability to control the flow of their blood, even if they are cut at the waist, they won’t die, at most they will only be half disabled.”
Old man Wu stared at Wu Quan for a long time and let out a long sigh:
”The hostility …… in you is too heavy.”
”The big thing is, it’s just being locked up here until death.” Wu Quan paused for a moment, “Anyway, I don’t have a few years to live ……”
Wu Old Dog did not speak, just silently shoveled up the weed and carefully held it between his palms.
”What about you?” Wu Quan suddenly opened his mouth, “Since you haven’t committed any offense, why have you been locked up here all this time? When will you be able to get out?”
