Summary of the previous chapter: Through Huayue, Ma Xiaoquan learned about the grudges between the giant dragon and the centipede...
Hua Yue curled her lips: "You're welcome, you must not have married Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingshuang, otherwise you wouldn't be like that."
Ma Xiaoquan: "What happened to me?"
"Hehe, Ma Xiaoquan, don't think that I don't know. In fact, I have known your identity for a long time, but I am just not sure."
"Have you known me for a long time? Well, you are considered powerful."
"Hehe, then I have a chance. Besides, we are getting married. Your Ma family and our Hua family have become in-laws again. Oh, how wonderful this is."
"What... is it good? Let's not talk about it for now." Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and slowly moved to the front of the centipede leader.
The centipede leader was surrounded by centipede soldiers of all sizes. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan step forward, they all raised their tentacles and were ready to fight at any time.
Ma Xiaoquan stopped and said: "Big Centipede, since you agreed to my conditions, please give me the big snake's child. Of course, I will also give you benefits."
The leader of the centipede squinted his eyes, yes, he squinted his eyes in a very humane way, and after a while he barked a few times.
After a while, a small centipede that was only as thick as a human arm came out, with a huge egg on its tentacles.
"Time, time, time, time," the leader of the centipede shouted at Ma Xiaoquan, indicating that Ma Xiaoquan could take the egg away.
Ma Xiaoquan took the dome and almost lost it. Good guy, this dome is really heavy, but luckily, the eggshell is very hard and cannot be broken by ordinary external force.
"Big snake, your child is here for you." Ma Xiaoquan rolled the dome towards the giant dragon. The giant dragon vomited and quickly wrapped around the dome.
After probing for a while, the giant dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed the giant egg into its mouth.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, you, I, I, you, I'm that way."
Hua Yue smiled and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, it wants to send us both out."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I can't go out because I promised Centipede that I would also help it with things. Sister Yue, I think you should go out first."
"No, Ma Xiaoquan, I will go wherever you go."
"Huayue!" Ma Xiaoquan said suddenly and seriously, "Don't be willful. If you don't want to go out, just wait for me here! Do you understand?"
Hua Yue was stunned, but she nodded obediently and said: "Whatever you say will be done."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded helplessly, reached out and patted the big head of the centipede leader, and said: "Let's go and lead the way."
The centipede buzzed several times, probed Ma Xiaoquan's body with two tentacles, and then turned away.
As soon as the leader retreated, the hundreds of centipede soldiers also retreated. Ma Xiaoquan walked among them, and suddenly he felt like he was unparalleled in the world.
Hua Yue pursed her lips and watched Ma Xiaoquan gradually go away. She closed her eyes, clasped her fists in front of her chest, and murmured: "Ma Xiaoquan, you must come back safe and sound, and I must wait for you."
...
After Ma Xiaoquan followed the centipede leader for about tens of meters, the centipede leader stopped.
"Huh? What's the matter? Big Centipede, is it here?"
The leader of the centipede turned his head, and his two tentacles kept shaking.
"What do you want to show me?"
The leader of the centipede moved his body slightly, and there were hundreds of giant red eggs of the same size stacked behind him.
"So many?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you want me to do?"
The centipede roared several times and used its head to push Ma Xiaoquan to the pile of giant eggs. Then it raised dozens of claws and feet and stepped hard on the giant eggs.
The giant egg that was stepped on "crunched" burst instantly, and light green liquid flowed out from inside.
"What...what are you doing? Killing your own child?"
The centipede leader's tentacles trembled, as if he did not agree with Ma Xiaoquan's evaluation of it. After rubbing its claws and feet a few times, the centipede leader tapped Ma Xiaoquan's arm with its tentacles.
"Ouch" There was a blood hole on Ma Xiaoquan's arm. Although the blood was temporarily stopped by him, some blood still seeped out.
The tentacles of the centipede leader once touched Ma Xiaoquan's blood and immediately retracted, but even so, it still wanted to keep touching.
"No, no, no, this hurts." Ma Xiaoquan covered the wound on his arm and suddenly remembered what the giant dragon once said, saying that his blood had special effects...
"Could it be that...this centipede leader also likes my blood?" Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan asked, "Hey, Big Centipede, do you like my blood?"
The centipede leader's tentacles moved, as if to say yes.
"Then you mean to drink my blood, that's not okay."
The tentacles of the centipede leader swung from side to side, and then pointed towards the egg pile.
"You won't let me feed your children with my blood. I'm telling you, I will die if this doesn't work."
The leader of the centipede shook his tentacles again, and then stepped on them again, crushing dozens of giant eggs.
"Huh? What are you going to do?" Ma Xiaoquan was a little anxious. If he had known better, he might as well have brought Hua Yue with him, so that he could translate.
The leader of the centipede ignored Ma Xiaoquan. It kept raising and lowering its claws. In just a few breaths, it trampled hundreds of giant eggs in front of it to pieces. Then, the leader of the centipede suddenly squeaked, and then fell on Ma Xiaoquan's body.
In front of me, a giant egg was laid.
This giant egg is larger than the ones that were trampled to pieces before, and the color of the giant egg's eyes is very different. Others are red. This giant egg is purple. Ma Xiaoquan used the help of his hand.
In the light of the fire, I carefully observed the giant egg.
Theoretically, the number of eggs a centipede lays each time is very large, but this time, the leader centipede only laid one egg.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, squatted down, gently picked up the only giant egg, and patted it a few times.
"Time after time" the centipede leader turned his head and touched Ma Xiaoquan's injured arm with his tentacles.
Ma Xiaoquan guessed: "Do you want me to use my blood to feed your child?"
The tentacles of the centipede leader moved.
"Okay, now, just this time, if you go too far, I will burn your place to the ground." Ma Xiaoquan spread his palms, and the flames in his palms suddenly jumped up.
The leader of the centipede was so frightened that he quickly stepped back several meters, but its body was so big that it was not obvious.
"Yes." Ma Xiaoquan pulled off the cloth bandaging the wound and exposed his injured arm. With a little force, blood oozed from the wound.
At this moment, the source who had been silent suddenly came over and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, if you do this, it is very likely that you will be connected with this centipede?"
"Contact? Divine horse contact? Could it be that it has become a spirit, transformed into a girl, and wants to marry me?"
"No, the connection I am talking about is that it will become friends with you in the future."
"How do you know?"
"Well, I can understand everything the Centipede leader says."
"Damn it, you didn't tell me earlier, then tell me, what did it say?"
"Generally speaking, I want you to help it become the most powerful centipede, but it needs your blood. Just one drop will be enough, because you are very powerful."
"What do you mean? Don't understand?"
"Well, to put it simply, the stronger you are, the stronger this centipede will be. Ma Xiaoquan, take a closer look, are all the centipedes in front of us female?"
Ma Xiaoquan squatted down and looked at the bottom of the centipede leader and centipede soldiers: "Yes, they don't have reproductive limbs."
"Well, male centipedes don't live long, so these centipedes are all female, but the ones it destroyed just now should be the last remaining eggs."
"Well, what about the future? What to do in the future?"
"Well, I don't know that either."
"Oh, okay, Yuan, you didn't lie to me. What if the centipede in this egg doesn't become friends with me, but wants to kill me?"
"That's not true, I can feel it."
"Okay" Ma Xiaoquan nodded and squeezed a few drops of blood onto the giant egg.
When the giant egg came into contact with Ma Xiaoquan's blood, its original purple color immediately changed. The purple slowly faded and turned into pale white.
When the centipede leader saw Ma Xiaoquan dripping blood, he screamed. At this moment, the hundreds of centipede soldiers behind him all fell down, as if they were worshiping the king.
"This...what is this? Yuan, what are they doing?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I don't mean any harm. Ma Xiaoquan, your mission is completed, we can go back."
"Ah? Is it that simple?"
"Well, it should be, okay, say hello to the centipedes, let's go."
"Well" Ma Xiaoquan breathed out, stepped forward and patted the big head of the centipede leader, and said, "Hey, big centipede, I'm leaving. Hey... hello... eh? What are you doing?
Ah, sleeping? Why are you ignoring me?"
Ma Xiaoquan sniffed and turned to look at the other centipedes. These centipedes were also motionless and dead silent. They didn't seem to be sleeping. He put his ear to the centipede leader and listened, and found that there was no sound in its body.
.
"It's not like he's dead..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
"Well, yes, it is dead," Yuan Chuan said in his mind.
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan couldn't believe it. "Well, even if it dies, it's impossible for hundreds or even thousands of them to die. Besides, centipedes can hibernate."
"Hibernation is true, centipedes do hibernate, but Ma Xiaoquan, do you think it's cold in this mine?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. To be honest, it was not cold inside the mine. On the contrary, it was very comfortable. The ventilation was very good in all aspects. If it were not dark, Ma Xiaoquan even felt that the mine was very suitable for people to live in.
"Put your hand on the centipede and I'll feel it," Yuan said.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and gently put his hand on the big head of the centipede leader. After a while, Yuan Yuan said: "Ma Xiaoquan, it is dead."
