Human Shackles

Luo Kai thought Lao Huang was walking too slowly, so he put him on his shoulders. This guy now weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, and was a big lump of fat. His whole body was slippery and it was very difficult to resist.

After leaving Longyang City and arriving at the Nilong River, Lao Huang couldn't stop barking excitedly after seeing the water. He slid off Luo Kai's back, twisted his fat body and jumped into the water, playing happily in the river, mouthing Li kept barking at Luo Kai, as if asking him to play in the water together.

Luo Kai was exhausted at this time and had no time to care about it. He sat on the bank of the river and gasped for air. He looked at the bearded man next to him and hesitated to speak.

The bearded man, like him, lay panting on the shore, sighing: "I'm old and useless!"

Seeing that Luo Kai couldn't get into the water, Lao Huang plunged into the water. When he emerged from the water, he had a fat fish in his mouth. He threw it at Luo Kai's feet and dived into the river again. After a while, he caught more than a dozen big fish. The fat fish was fluttering in front of Luo Kai.

Luo Kai was also a little hungry, so he stood up and found some firewood on the shore, and built a bonfire to roast the fatty fish. Lao Huang immediately climbed ashore after smelling the fragrance, and circled around him as usual, whining. stop.

As soon as the "dog" was full, the two of them lay on the ground and stared blankly at the surging river in front of them.

After a long time, Luo Kai was the first to speak: "Big Beard, thank you."

The bearded man turned to glare at him and cursed: "Thank you, brat, can you please rein in your temper? There are so many stupid ways to save you, but you have to do it forcefully. Now I've been hurt by you too, Long." I can’t stay in Yangcheng anymore.”

Luo Kai scratched his head and said: "Why can't you stay? You are so powerful!"

The bearded man said angrily: "That's awesome. I'm just an old loofah now. I could have been free for a few more years, but now it's better. In the future, trouble will bite my butt and I won't be able to get rid of it."

"Then let's go. The world is so big that we can always find a place to stay."

The bearded man's mood gradually eased, he shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the great generals of the world no longer have a place to stay!"

Luo Kai didn't know what to say. A man like Big Beard must have many stories, but he was not a person who liked to pry into other people's secrets.

After a while, the bearded man looked at Lao Huang, who was lying on his back and snoring, and suddenly said: "Xiao Kai, do you know what a ferocious beast is?"

Luo Kai had read a book about ferocious beasts, nodded and said, "I know a little bit."

"But you have never seen ferocious beasts, and you don't understand how scary they are at all. You see Lao Huang now as he did before, but as he slowly advances, his wisdom will become higher and higher. Human beings have the ability to learn They all have the ability, the ability to create, do you know what that means?”

Luo Kai saw the bearded man's unusual seriousness and sat up: "What does it mean?"

The bearded man sighed and said: "There will only be one ruler in this world. Between humans and ferocious beasts, only one kind is destined to survive. This is an inextricable knot. You saved the old man today." Huang, but if Lao Huang suddenly starts killing people one day, what will you do?"

Luo Kai's heart started pounding again, and a strong premonition came to his mind again. He couldn't help but look at Old Huang who was snoring beside him, and he couldn't help but become worried: "Can the method of fighting beasts mentioned by Su Wenlin prevent this?" What kind of situation?"

The bearded man shook his head and said: "The method of fighting beasts is actually a kind of genetic technology. It creates a genetic entanglement between humans and beasts. Humans and beasts can communicate with each other, just like a pair of twins. Artificially set one There is a sense of intimacy, but as the ferocious beasts advance, their free will will become stronger and stronger, and sooner or later they will break through this layer of genetic entanglement."

Luo Kai thought for a moment and asked: "Is there no solution?"

"Yes, it will prevent the war beast from advancing, but this can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. It just delays time. The only way to cure the root cause is to kill the war beast before it advances!"

Luo Kai was silent. After a long time, he said somewhat unconfidently: "Old Huang was a domestic dog before. Even if he becomes more intelligent in the future, he should not hurt humans."

Lao Huang kept hearing his name and woke up. He looked at the two people in front of him with his small eyes open, as if asking: "Why are you calling me?"

The bearded man stretched out his hand to stroke Lao Huang's plump belly, and said softly: "We may be a little unfounded. It is much more difficult for ferocious beasts to advance than for human practitioners. This guy is likely to stay in the infancy stage in his life. Even if he is lucky enough to advance, It’s not a big deal when I reach the growth stage.”

Old Huang knew that the bearded human in front of him was a good person to save him, so he let him stroke his belly and kept making satisfied grunts.

…

Just when Luo Kai was about to fall asleep, Big Beard suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, Xiao Kai, let's meet again by fate."

"Are you leaving?" Luo Kai also stood up hurriedly.

"Well, I'm going to find another place to avoid trouble."

The bearded man looked at Luo Kai's miserable appearance, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw it over with a look of pain on his face: "Here you go."

"What is this?" Luo Kai took it doubtfully.

"There is a tiger bone magic elixir inside, which is made from the bone marrow of ferocious beasts. It can restore some of your injuries. Little guy, please don't use that secret method of overdrawing your life in the future. Judging from your appearance, I guess I only have about ten years left to live, alas!”

Of course Luo Kai knew his situation, but he couldn't help it every time. He felt a little moved in his heart and said sincerely, "Thank you, Big Beard."

The bearded man continued to explain: "Learn more from me in the future. Enjoying life is the true meaning of life. Don't be too stupid. Also, find a girl quickly. Don't imitate me. No one will want you when you are old." Only then did I start to regret it!”

…

The bearded man walked a few steps and then suddenly turned back: "Xiao Kai, the theory of numerology is the most illusory. Don't pay too much attention to it. Moreover, if there are fifty great avenues and fourty-nine heavens, you must escape one of them. Everything will always happen in the dark. There is a glimmer of hope!”

Luo Kai was stunned. Yes, many things are true whether you believe them or not. If you are always worried about the theory of numerology, then things that are not originally may become true. This is the power of "spirit". Modern sociology also has a famous Murphy's Law. If you are worried about a certain situation happening, then it is more likely to happen.

The knot in my heart these days was somewhat relieved by Big Beard's words, and I felt relaxed. He shouted loudly to Big Beard's back: "Big Beard, you haven't told me your name yet."

The big beard waved his hand shakyly: "Just call me the big beard!"

"Then where are you going?"

A distant voice came: "The Kingdom of Colorful Clouds."

Luo Kai looked at the direction the bearded man was leaving in despair, until Lao Huang started to lick his trouser legs again.

"Old Huang, I can't take you to meet people like this. You should go back to the sea. Remember not to be caught again!"

Lao Huang didn't understand what he was saying, so he held his trousers and dragged him toward the river. Apparently he wanted Luo Kai to play with him in the water. When they were in a small fishing village, one person and one dog would often go into the sea together to compete in catching fish.

Luo Kai squatted down and rubbed its big head, pushed it away gently, and said, "Old Huang, you can't hurt anyone in the future. If someone hurts you, just run away."

His answer was two barks of a dog. Seeing that Luo Kai was unwilling to get into the water, Lao Huang could only curl up under his feet and continue sleeping.

Luo Kai sat on the ground and opened the small porcelain bottle that Big Beard gave him. There was a small black pill inside, exuding a strong blood energy. He hesitated slightly and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

The pill exploded immediately after it came into contact with the stomach acid, and the scalding heat rushed towards the limbs and bones. Some atrophied organs and tissues immediately became strong and powerful after being exposed to the heat. A feeling of comfort permeated the whole body, and the superficial blood scabs fell off quickly, and new skin began to grow again. grow.

Luo Kai was secretly stunned. This pill was too powerful. It was hundreds and thousands of times more powerful than the low-level gene potion he took last time!
