Chapter 589: Six-Headed Medusa? (I) (2/2)
Long Haochen replied, “From the Knights’ Sacred Mountain.”
“Impossible.” Chen Hongyu cut him off categorically, “How could your Knights’ Sacred Mountain have a six-headed chimera in it? Don’t you know what six-headed chimeras are?”
Long Haochen looked at Chen Hongyu in astonishment, “Are you saying that Haoyue is a six-headed chimera?”
Chen Hongyu nodded without any hesitation, “For certain. Otherwise how could he have exhibited such an intense blood purity suppression towards Xingxuan? Even a more powerful magical beast never achieved that.”
The others were all encircling them, and even the spectators Sanshui Popo and Zhang Fangfang had come down. Sanshui Popo remarked, “You should know what blood purity suppression is. Magical beasts are formed up of many races. And in every race exist different strict categories. That’s the system of class between magical beasts, an aspect that is a bit similar to us humans. Simply speaking, there are dissociations like commoner and nobles among magical beasts, and in front of the noble ones, commoners of the same race would be greatly suppressed, that’s their blood purity suppression. Therefore, when a war happens in a same race, the contest of power will always be between the nobles of highest blood status. If the difference between their blood statuses is very large, due to the suppression by the powerful one, a battle will absolutely not occur. Only when the purity in their blood doesn’t differ a lot, can a battle possibly break out.”
“Let me give you a simple example.” Sanshui Popo pointed at Han Yu’s Demonic Eye Commander, “Your Demonic Eye is at the commander level. If a despotic levelled Demonic Eye was here, its strength would be bound to be greatly suppressed. There’s no way it could even move against the Despotic Demonic Eye.”
Listening to Sanshui Popo’s explanation, everyone gained a better understanding of blood purity suppression.
At this moment, Chen Hongyu had calmed down greatly, taking a deep tone, “Just before, Xingxuan was like an ordinary Demonic Eye seeing a Despotic Demonic Eye when seeing your six-headed chimera, which is why it was so unbearable for her. If exposed for too long to the six-headed chimera’s presence, that could possibly even threaten her life. Now I finally understand why the Demon God Emperor values you so highly. You have on your side a god, which can even threaten the demons’ rule.” Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, “Temple Head, just wait. I feel that something is wrong. Just now, Senior Sanshui said that a Tyrannical Demonic Eye would suppress a Demonic Eye Commander, and that’s what blood purity suppression is. But the premise is that the Tyrannical Demonic Eye is far more powerful than a Demonic Eye Commander! But Haoyue isn’t the same, he’s at most a magical beast of the ninth rank, who even evolved recently. There’s some gap with your four-headed chimera. There’s a wide gap between a magical beast of the ninth rank and the tenth rank. How could he inflict natural suppression to your four-headed chimera?”
“What did you just say? Ninth rank? This can’t be! How could a six-headed chimera be a magic beast of the ninth rank?” Chen Hongyu almost lost his voice.
Long Haochen declared helplessly, “That’s how things are. Haoyue is really a magical beast of the ninth rank. And one that has evolved not long before, my companions can confirm these facts.”
Chen Hongyu’s look became lifeless. This shock came from the fact that, even with his knowledge on magical beasts, this situation far exceeded his understanding.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his shock, Chen Hongyu declared, “Let’s do this, I will tell you what I know about chimeras, and then you will tell me what you know about this contracted magical beast of yours. If your magical beast is really only reaching the ninth rank, it surely has an extraordinary background, surely even exceeding the whole category of the chimeras.”
Sanshui Popo suddenly interrupted Chen Hongyu, “What about Ying’er? How is she? Long Haochen, where have you put her?”
Long Haochen replied, “I have transported her to a safe place, using one of our divine tools enabling us to teleport people freely. She should have gone past her mental force’s limits, and will recover after a time of rest. I can teleport her back right now.”
Sanshui Popo was in the end not relieved about Chen Ying’er’s circumstances, and immediately nodded for Long Haochen to activate his teleportation.
The Eternal Melody released golden fluctuation, and transported the still unconscious Chen Ying’er back in front of everyone. After checking her body condition for a bit, and confirming that she lost consciousness only due to the overuse of her mental force, she finally relaxed, and placed a mental force recovering pill in Chen Ying’er’s mouth.
Chen Hongyu couldn’t even manage his granddaughter, despite having studied magical beasts his whole life, and suddenly finding out a total mystery, a special magical beast he had never even heard about…his shock was just too great. At the same time Sanshui Popo treated Chen Ying’er, he already started speaking about the ancestry of chimeras.
“Chimeras are a special kind of dragons, referring to beings with mixed bodies originating from ancient times. In other words, irrelevant things put together gave birth to a new kind of creature. That may sound hard to understand, but the chimeras’ existence is the living proof of this theory.”
