"Ning Qi, Captain Zu from the exploration team came here to find a helper for him. Thank you for taking the initiative to help him."
"Also, the Beast Crystal in your hand was given to you by Captain Zu as a reward."
"This Beast Crystal can be exchanged for two months of good food. It's worth it!"
Ning Qi silently put away the Beast Crystal, feeling extremely depressed in his heart.
He was distracted just now and did not hear Captain Zu and the others' conversation at all. Why did he join the exploration team in the blink of an eye?
"Ning Qi, we have never eaten meat since we entered the corpse collecting team. Since you have the Beast Crystal in your hand, why don't you get some Strange Beast meat to eat tonight?"
Ning Qi looked at Fatty, who was standing beside him, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the Beast Crystal. But as soon as the Beast Crystal was put into his embrace, it was swallowed by the inexplicable system!
[*Ding, The system absorbed 10 energy values and automatically converted them into 1 Recovery Value.]
[ System energy values: 0. Please increase hosts as soon as possible! ]
Only now did Chen Qiang understand that the energy values in this recycling system relied on the Beast Crystals provided by the Beast!
"Fatty, go away!"
Elder Bo berated. He chased the other children out of the mud house, leaving only Ning Qi alone.
Elder Bo couldn't be thinking about the Beast Crystal he just got, could he?
Elder Bo arranged for Ning Qi to sit at the table and took out a sealed bottle from the corner of the bed. He blew on the dust on the bottle and unscrewed the cap.
A strong fragrance of wine floated out of the bottle.
"This is a good thing that I have kept for more than ten years!"
The wrinkles on Elder Bo's face relaxed. He carefully poured half a bowl of wine for Ning Qi and himself. Then he picked up the kettle on the table and filled their bowls with water.
"There's not much wine like this. I can't even bear to drink it!"
After he finished speaking, he took out a small paper bag from the small box behind him. When he opened it, two bones that had obviously been chewed were revealed.
An old man and a young man sat opposite each other. Their eyes were fixed on the bone that was left with a bit of flesh in front of them.
"Kid, you've never tasted Strange Beast meat in your entire life, have you? Come, have a taste!"
As soon as his voice faded, the two of them grabbed at the bone in front of them almost at the same time.
A few minutes later, Elder Bo swallowed the bones that had been chewed up. He picked up the wine bowl in front of him and looked at Ning Qi with a lonely expression. In the end, he sighed.
"I don't remember how many times I sent the children away. However, I have no choice, because the current situation of Human Race's survival is too difficult! Come, let's drink together!"
With a gulp, half a bowl of wine was gone.
"How is it, kid? This wine is not bad, right?"
Ning Qi smiled. "If there is no water, the taste of the wine will be even better."
"You are not afraid in the face of danger and you can even smile at times of crisis. Your character is indeed like your father!"
Father?
Ning Qi did not find his father's impression in the original host's memories. When Elder Bo mentioned it now, he actually smiled with tears, which made Ning Qi quite curious.
"Grandpa Bo, you know my father? Where is he? Can you tell me?"
Elder Bo put down the wine bowl. He was silent for a while before he spoke.
"No wonder you don't have any impression of your father. That was fifteen years ago. Ning Qi, have you heard of General Tian?"
"General Tian? General Tian? Of course I have. Everyone in Dark Forest Colony should know about General Tian's legend.
The former deputy general of Dongyue General's Mansion, General Tian lured the Genetic People away by himself in order to protect the residents of Dongyue when the Genetic People come in.
After that, the Dongyue General's Mansion called the team led by General Tian the General of Tians Team.
Ning Qi understood General Tian's reputation well.
Although he had just arrived, after absorbing the memories of the original owner, Ning Qi had a very deep impression of General Tian.
"You're right! What you don't know is that you are General Tian's only son!"
After saying this, Elder Bo looked at Ning Qi. He realized that the shocking news did not cause much of a reaction on Ning Qi's face.
"Good boy, you are calm. You are indeed the son of the general!"
What Elder Bo did not know was this Ning Qi was no longer the original Ning Qi.
He nodded secretly and continued, "I originally wanted to wait for you to awaken the bloodline and inherit the banner of General Tian. I never thought that you would actually be the worst Mortal Blood bloodline!
It was a pity that, until now, the General Tian's Team leader of the Dongyue General's Mansion was still vacant.
Your father is someone who has made great contributions to our Human Race!
"However, although you haven't awakened to Bloodline Warrior, you are as courageous as General Tian. This is enough to comfort General Tian's heroic spirit!"
Elder Bo's words made Ning Qi appear calm on the surface, but it still caused a trace of shock in his heart.
He did not expect his father to have such a glorious experience!
If it was before he transmigrated, the original host would probably really live an ordinary life.
But now, with the help of miraculous recycling systems, he already possessed Poison Flame bloodlines. With time, as long as he diligently cultivated, he might also become a bloodline general in the future!
At the very least, in the Dongyue General's Mansion, that position of General Tian's Team's leader, he had to get it back!
He could be considered as giving an explanation to the original owner!
"Grandpa Bo, don't worry. When I return from the exploration team, I will cultivate well. I will not make my father feel awkward."
Elder Bi smiled sadly. "You came back? It's easier said than done!
Ning Qi, did you know?
There were also exploration teams that sent people into the mountains, but almost none of them came out alive.
It could be said that with your physical condition, it was very likely that you would die after entering the Dark Forest!
If it was not because they could not deploy people, the exploration team would not have rashly recruited people from other functional teams.
Now that the Human Race's living environment had deteriorated, the necessary sacrifices were unavoidable.
Therefore, Ning Qi, don't have any resentment. As General Tian's descendant, I hope you can hold your head high and not embarrass your father. "
"Will I really die?"
Elder Bo nodded solemnly.
Ning Qi turned the bowl of wine in his hand. He tilted his head and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Grandpa Bo, the Blood Bat of Toxic Flame didn't poison me today. Maybe I was lucky enough to come back alive!"
"Good boy! Just because of what you said, I'll keep the rest of the wine and wait for you to come back, then we'll have a good drink!"
"No problem. However, Grandpa Bo, next time we drink, I don't want to drink wine mixed with water."
"The way you talk really resembles General Tian!"
The next morning, when Ning Qi came to the field, a group of exploration teams with more than ten people were ready to go.
"Ning Qi, take this bag and follow us after entering the mountain."
Captain Zu quietly threw a large leather bag over. He waved his hand and led everyone away.
In the corpse collecting team's residence, Fatty and the six children looked at Ning Qi who was following behind the group from afar. Their expressions were bleak.
"Fatty, I think we've gone too far this time. After all, this is a matter of life and death. Ning Qi has sacrificed his life for one of us."
"So what? There are only seven of us, not Ning Qi. The others have to go up. Why don't you go?"
"I hope Ning Qi can turn misfortune into fortune this time! As long as he can come back safely, I will do all the work for him for a week. "
The children's words were full of reluctance and regret, but they did not notice that Elder Bo had unknowingly stood behind them.
"You want to slack off, don't you?
All of you get out of here and work!
" If you don't clean those corpse bags and gloves, don't even think about eating dinner tonight! "
Hearing that, the children paused and ran out.
Elder Bo looked at them as they walked away. The wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
"General Tian, I'm useless. I don't have the ability to protect him anymore. I hope you can help Ning Qi return safely."
