In addition, there was a special reason why he didn't dare to act rashly. Hence, he sat down cross-legged and spread out his Poison Restriction while recovering from his injuries.
He then spoke softly, gradually sharing what he knew about the history of the outside world. Occasionally, when his injuries flared up, he would pause to adjust before continuing to speak. Throughout this process, he maintained an extreme level of tension and vigilance.
Just like that, time flowed by.
A day later, Xu Qing finished speaking.
The blue eyes in the coffin revealed a hint of reminiscence. After a long time, a murmur echoed.
"The human race is actually in such dire straits…"
Xu Qing fell silent.
A long time later, a soft sigh rang out from the coffin. That pair of blue eyes looked at Xu Qing again.
"Kid, your injuries are very serious."
Xu Qing nodded. The purple crystal healed his body very quickly but the recovery of his soul's injuries was indeed very slow. Moreover, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance against this unknown existence, so he couldn't completely focus on the recovery.
"Seeing that you let me have good food and told me about the history of our human race, come here and let me help you."
The ancient voice rang out from the coffin.
Xu Qing shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. That is just what I should do."
The coffin fell silent as the pair of eyes looked at Xu Qing. Tens of breaths later, a white fog drifted out of the abyss, containing dense heavenly mandate fluctuations.
"You don't have to be so vigilant against me. These came from that servant of the Crimson Goddess. I'll give them to you."
After Xu Qing sensed it, he spoke calmly with no change in his tone.
"Senior, please forgive the junior for being blunt. I just wanted to say that I don't taste good."
As he spoke, the Poison Restriction that spread throughout Xu Qing's body spread out again. After controlling it to a certain range, he looked at that pair of eyes.
"Senior, I might have misunderstood you, but I just want to tell you that we are both hostile to the Red Moon. Although my soul is injured, I can still control the restrictions here."
Xu Qing respectfully spoke. With a wave of his hand, the red net in the surroundings was revealed, flickering in the magma.
"So, let me leave."
"I'm not restricting you. You are outside the coffin, so you can leave at any time." The voice was calm.
"Senior." Xu Qing's expression was serious as he spoke word by word.
"I'm not outside the coffin. I'm in the coffin. If I take a step, I'll enter your mouth. I know that you've tricked my perception."
"But I really don't taste good."
At the same time, outside the Heavenly Fire Sea, the holy land that was a huge city of the two races' alliance appeared as if it were a bird's nest, barely holding on after the heavenly fire crossing the sky phenomenon.
Its oval shape occupied a vast area of 50 kilometers.
And now, there was a huge heart floating above the holy land. On it, the Red Moon Shrine emitted a demonic red light.
There were dozens of purple-red meteors around it that emitted a dense pressure.
Below them were all the higher-ups of the two races. Regardless of whether it was the state preceptors or the kings, they all appeared and knelt respectfully.
They weren't the only ones kneeling. All the people from the two races in the city were kneeling as well.
After a long time, a deep voice rang out from the temple.
"The day of your tributes is 49 days later. This time, other than the heavenly fire crystals, you need to offer 500,000 live food."
As the voice echoed, the heart slowly moved and left this place.
They were going to fly all the way to the center of the eastern region of the Moon Worship Region and wait for the various races in the eastern region to send tributes on the designated day. The amount required of each race was different.
The ancestors and state preceptors of the two races knelt down and sent them off respectfully. It was only when the Red Moon Shrine disappeared into the horizon that the kings of the two races dared to stand up and look at each other.
"The required number of live foods has increased by more than 50%…"
"If we can't complete it, our clansmen will be forced to make up the numbers."
The two of them fell silent. After a long time, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Mask Race's king.
"That human shelter should have gathered a lot of live food under our feigned ignorance over the past few years…"
"After raising it for so long, it can be harvested."
