Chapter 143: The Truth Emerges—Blackie’s Origin (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After listening to the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi recalled his encounter in the flesh cave.
At that time, he lured Blackie into the flesh cave and took advantage of its fierce battle with the goat-headed demons to shatter the statue they were worshiping and kill the special lifeform inside.
His innate ability, Blood Source, was obtained by killing the life in the statue.
‘So… they’re treating me like that statue?’
[Good lord, why do I feel that if this continues, you’re going to go down the path of raising pets? First, it’s Suction Cup, then the goat-headed demons. What are you going to raise next?]
Hearing the narrator’s ridicule, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes. He looked at the goat-headed demons kneeling on the ground and asked, “What should I do to make them stand up and make way for me?”
[How would 1 know? Why don’t you try shouting… Dear ministers, rise?]
As he raised his middle finger in his heart, Feng Qi took two steps forward. Seemingly realizing that he wanted to leave, the goat-headed demons immediately stood up and made way.
Seeing this, Feng Qi walked out of the encirclement through the gap.
He looked back. The goat-headed demons had also stood up and followed behind him.
After he stood still, the goat-headed demons would also stop and raise their hands as they watched him before kneeling on the ground in unison.
Realizing that the goat-headed demons would not hurt him, he could not be bothered with them and immediately ran towards the city ruins.
The goat-headed demons also followed at this moment, as if they had really become his bodyguards.
After running for about half an hour, Feng Qi arrived at the city ruins again.
The environment here was even more dilapidated than the last time. There were ruins and rubble everywhere. Many buildings would have collapsed if they had not fused with plants and were supported by them.
Walking on the dilapidated street, an idea appeared in Feng Qi’s mind. Due to the fact that Suction Cup had almost lost her self-awareness, he could not use her to hunt domain creatures.
As long as she attacked, he would not even have a chance to finish them off.
However, the group of goat-headed demons behind him was different. They had sentience so he could try to communicate with them to ask them to help him capture prey and then kill them himself.
This way, his strength would definitely increase greatly in a short period of time.
Therefore, Feng Qi turned around and began to gesture to the goat-headed demons, trying to communicate with them.
However, as long as he turned around, the goat-headed demons would raise their hands and kneel on the ground, muttering prayers that he could not understand at all.
After a fruitless exchange, he decisively gave up and prepared to hunt in another way.
However, he realized that he had thought too simply.
When the domain creatures he encountered along the way saw such a large group, they would decisively turn around and run, not giving him a chance to hunt.
This group of goat-headed demons would not take the initiative to attack either. They followed closely behind him and even looked around vigilantly, acting like bodyguards.
With this group of bodyguards, the way forward was much smoother.
He did not need to hide and take detours after using his Blood Source ability like last time.
He had taken this route to the abandoned hospital many times.
As he advanced, he climbed up a tall building and looked for Blackie’s location.
As expected, Blackie was coming from the direction of the burial ground. From afar, he could see its body enveloped in black fog.
Looking at the goat-headed demons that had followed, Feng Qi automatically ignored them and scanned the situation in the city ruins.
As he scanned the area, he discovered something strange.
It seemed that as long as he killed a domain creature, it would never appear again.
For example, Nightmare near the entrance of the city ruins at the beginning, the domain creature that looked like a gorilla later on, or the blood-colored eye.
Especially the blood-colored eye. He had encountered it several times in the city ruins.
However, it never appeared again after he killed it and seized its Evil Thought ability.
[Perhaps there’s such a possibility that as long as the creature you killed personally is erased from the timeline, it’s equivalent to you removing the traces of its existence in the timeline. It’s not that the domain creature you killed is unaffected in the other timeline and can continue to exist.]
[Of course, I’m only guessing. After all, Blackie killed the blood-colored eye several times. It still exists, but it disappeared after you killed it once.]
After listening to the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi felt that it made sense.
He jumped down from the tall building and staggered a few steps before stabilizing himself.
Looking up, the goat-headed demons also jumped down from the tall building like dumplings dropping into boiling water. Dull thuds kept sounding on the ground.
Next, he headed straight for the location of the Scarlet Secret Base.
There were the goat-headed demons protecting him along the way, so there were no unexpected situations.
However, in the distant sky, there were huge lifeforms fighting again, causing the sky to be dull at times and bright at times. The dull collisions were like thunderclaps that could be heard even from afar.
From this, it could be seen that domain creatures were not united. There were also opposing factions among them.
An idea appeared in Feng Qi’s mind. Can I think of a way to divide the domain creatures and even cause a war to break out among them so that mankind can catch their breath?
However, this idea was only an idea. There was no plan that could be implemented at all.
After letting his imagination run wild, he chose to give up.
Under the blood moon, he brought the goat-headed demons through the city ruins. After walking for an unknown period of time, the abandoned hospital finally appeared in sight..
