Chapter 2355: War Poison Milk
After preliminary negotiations, Su Xiao learned the name of this "Holy Goddess." Her name was Dorothea,
and she was a hybrid of human and Xenomorph.
Hearing this introduction, Baja expressed curiosity and directly asked Dorothea how her parents managed to do it.
Dorothea was a bit angry and whispered, "Rude fellow."
Earth-Walking Species and Fission Species, of course, couldn't hybridize with humans. Parasitic Species, after seizing human bodies, could hybridize with humans, with a high probability of giving birth to normal humans and a very low probability of giving birth to hybrids, inheriting Xenomorph genes, and hybrids with higher transcendent talent than sub-orcs.
Dorothea was this kind of hybrid. Her father was human, and her mother was a Parasitic Species. The two didn't have a dog-blood plot of falling in love. It was mainly because Dorothea's father was very strong, and the female Parasitic Species who seized the human body looked good, which led to Dorothea's birth.
Light-Bathing City was an underground city, only a few dozen kilometers away from the Xenomorph main base. Because Xenomorph internal contradictions didn't stop before, and humans in Light-Bathing City basically mastered transcendent abilities, the two sides were in a stalemate.
After the Spacetime Crystals began to fall, the Xenomorph King forced several commanders to stop internal contradictions. The Xenomorph army spent three days destroying Light-Bathing City. This underground city, known as humanity's last hope, which vowed to bathe in the sun, was destroyed by the Xenomorph army.
As for the Light-Bathing Missionary Field, it was located 15 kilometers east of Light-Bathing City. Originally, this was a very inconspicuous small organization. After Light-Bathing City was destroyed, the surviving few humans hid here, preparing to just linger on here and spend the rest of their lives.
The "King Heart" that Dorothea mentioned before, she wasn't willing to disclose much, insisting on one point: she wouldn't disclose this information until she met Su Xiao, even if Su Xiao roasted the "King Heart" she entrusted with her together.
Dorothea's finding wasn't a coincidence. She had observed for a long time in the Fallen Zone in the form of a spirit body. As soon as the base of the Five Paradises landed, she took note of it.
Initially, Dorothea wanted to cooperate with the Death Paradise side. This side was disciplined.
Just as she was about to contact the contractors of the Death Paradise side, the Death Paradise side was wiped out. Dorothea was stunned for a long time.
Afterward, Dorothea wanted to cooperate with the Cult side. After all, both sides were god-stick guys. One believed in gods, and the other wanted to take continuation of humanity as the doctrine to preach. Although there was an essential difference, there was also some distant relationship.
Not long after, the Cult was wiped out by the Xenomorphs.
The Saint Light Paradise side entered Dorothea's line of sight. Dorothea had been very fond of this side before, and then there was no then. The Saint Light Paradise side wasn't wiped out, but it was even more miserable than being wiped out: 12 contractors were captured alive.
Afterward, her target was the Heaven's Revelation Paradise side. In Dorothea's view, this side was the perfect partner: many people, and gentle in handling things. But not long after, Dorothea gave up again. The combat consciousness of this side reminded her of the resistance armies commanded by her grandmother. Moreover, the Heaven's Revelation Paradise side was beaten to a pulp, so wanting to cooperate was impossible.
After listening to Dorothea's narration, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja almost laughed until they collapsed. This girl was simply poisonous. Whichever side she wanted to cooperate with, that side would cool down.
And after the Samsara Paradise side's base retreated, Dorothea perceived that Su Xiao was actually carrying a "King Heart," which made her incredulous. After the "King Heart" was cut into four pieces, the sub-orc · human leader · Shukaro seized one piece, which was currently in the Light-Bathing Missionary Field. The remaining three were all with the Xenomorph side. It was said that two pieces were rewarded to the Xenomorph commanders.
When the Xenomorphs were at war with the Samsara Paradise side, Dorothea had perceived Su Xiao's aura. She had secretly decided not to contact this human and those lunatics for the time being. Saying these people would destroy the world, Dorothea wouldn't feel surprised, but rather felt it was very normal.
But the situation of the war made Dorothea have to find Su Xiao and choose to reach a friendly negotiation with Su Xiao using the "King Heart" as a medium. As for why she didn't come with a spirit body, Dorothea stammered and didn't say anything.
Actually, this was very normal. Su Xiao's charisma attribute, which was already blood-red and black, made Dorothea dare not come directly. She was afraid that Su Xiao would trap her spirit body and then exterminate her.
Who knew, the "dream-entrusting" method also didn't work. In the dream, Su Xiao's sanity was completely clear, and his judgment wasn't affected at all. Before Dorothea could introduce herself, Su Xiao forcibly tore apart the dream generated by mental resonance, causing Dorothea, whose mental power was weak, to be trapped in the King Heart.
"Amu, stop roasting."
"Moo~"
Amu was a bit reluctant. The "King Heart" smelled better the more it was roasted. It was preparing to sprinkle cumin.
"My goal is very simple: kill all Xenomorphs. Hmm, my home was destroyed by Xenomorphs."
Su Xiao said casually. He didn't believe this origin himself, and he didn't intend to let Dorothea believe it either. It was just a pretext for negotiation.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you were so ruthless when killing Xenomorphs. Xenomorphs only bring misfortune."
Hearing this sentence, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja beside him were directly stunned.
"Tell me about your goal?"
"Let humanity continue to multiply, although I am not a complete human and cannot multiply."
Dorothea's tone was very disappointed.
"Where is the Light-Bathing Missionary Field?"
"This..." 【23
Dorothea hesitated; she always felt Su Xiao was dangerous.
"Forget it then, see you if fate allows."
Su Xiao grabbed the 'Heart of the King', blue light flickering in his eyes. This woman might still be useful, so he prepared to let her go. As for the Light-Bathing Missionary Field, such a good hiding spot and resting place must be found.
"Wait a moment, let me consider for a while, just a while."
After thinking for over ten seconds, Dorothea inside the 'Heart of the King' sighed faintly.
"Head south. If your travel speed is fast enough, you will reach the vicinity of the Light-Bathing Missionary Field within three days."
After saying this, Dorothea inside the 'Heart of the King' fell into a mental slumber. She would never again attempt mental resonance with Su Xiao; after all, being stared at by a massive blood beast is a terrifying experience.
Following the direction provided by Dorothea, Su Xiao traveled through the night. His injuries had recovered by over eighty percent, so traveling was not affected.
Along the way, he still saw no human forces, but he did see a large Orc tribe. This tribe had been more than half destroyed by Xenotypes. Not all Orcs lacked backbone and defected to the Xenotypes; those who did were from three specific Orc branches.
The three branches: the Lie, the Ji, and the Man. They represent more than two-thirds of the Orc population and have more say among the Orcs.
The remaining orthodox Orcs uphold the belief that Orcs will never be slaves. Even if they become fodder for ground-dwelling species or face extinction, they will not submit. This has caused the number of orthodox Orcs to plummet, leaving only a few tens of thousands now.
These orthodox Orcs are exceptionally brave in war and swear to protect the Orcs' place of origin, Insaigang. They are prepared to perish here as a race and go to meet those fallen human comrades.
The tenacity and iron will of the orthodox Orcs stung the dignity of the other three Orc branches. Therefore, using their numerical advantage, they announced that the orthodox Orcs were expelled from the tribe and could only call themselves Beast-men.
The orthodox Orcs' response to this was simple: contempt.
Without stopping, Su Xiao's team advanced at full speed. On the evening of the second day after the start of the War Mission Phase 2, they arrived at the central region of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent.
As the twilight sun cast its rays, Su Xiao stood on a giant rock. After pressing a protrusion on top of the rock, a patch of ground nearby began to vibrate.
The mechanism operated, and from the sound, one could tell that the gears of this mechanism had not been maintained for a long time.
A metal plate disguised as the ground rose, revealing a stone staircase leading underground.
Su Xiao led the way, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang in the middle, and Amu and Baja at the rear, as they began to descend the stone stairs.
They didn't go far before the stairs ended. After a turn was an arched passage. Every few meters, there was a candlestick on the wall, with candle wax piled up on the ground beneath them.
Moving along the arched passage, after walking a dozen meters, Su Xiao saw a man in tattered, tightly wrapped clothing leaning against the left side of the passage, emitting a smell of decay.
"Another one tricked by that woman to come here to die. Go back, this world is dying."
The decaying man's voice was hoarse, his laughter filled with sarcasm.
Su Xiao looked at the decaying man. Besides his very dirty face, one of his feet was exposed, hardened like wood.
The decaying man had been wounded by a Xenotype commander and was withering away. He would eventually become a human-shaped piece of rotten wood. He had once gone to assassinate the Xenotype King, but he didn't even get to see the King's face before meeting this fate.
