Chapter 508 Raven and the Afterlife
Chapter 508 Raven and the Afterlife
Lu Xiao asked Moratti calmly:
"How is this going?"
Moratti only took one look and knew what had happened to this hellish creature.
He explained to Lu Xiao in a calm tone:
"He probably accidentally encountered a wanderer in the wilderness, and then the water in his body was taken away."
"Judging from his behavior of digging the ground just now."
"He was trying to bury his body in the ground."
"Only in this way can we avoid the loss of water in the body as much as possible, thereby allowing him to live for a longer period of time."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Isn't that what I asked?"
"Why would he show fear of you?"
Moratti coughed lightly, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face and said:
"Normally speaking, when the other hell creatures see our royal demons, they need to pay some of the water in their bodies."
"If there is no water in the body, you can choose to donate some blood."
"After all, blood also contains a lot of water."
Lu Xiao turned his head and squinted at the hellish creature.
Judging from the other party's haggard appearance and the fact that even the skin on his forehead was broken, it didn't bleed.
There is a high probability that the opponent's blood has also been drained.
Lu Xiao sighed softly and said, "What will happen if I don't pay tribute?"
Moratti replied without hesitation: "Some cruel royal families may choose to kill them."
As he said that, he looked stunned and looked at Lu Xiao in a confused tone:
"Sir, do you want to help him?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiao hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't know him."
"Besides, in his current situation, even gods coming can't save him."
Moratti nodded slightly and said: "Yes."
"Those wilderness wanderers will drain their blood completely."
"In this case, he will die."
As he spoke, Moratti raised his hand and pointed at the raven hovering in the air.
"The appearance of a raven means that his life has come to an end."
"Perhaps if we wait a few more minutes, we can see how the raven takes away the soul from his body."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao sighed softly, and then sat down on the ground.
He looked at the hell creature that was still begging for mercy and shouted:
"Just go about your business."
"Mr. Demon is a pretty nice person and he shouldn't make things difficult for you."
Hearing Lu Xiao's words, the hell creature suddenly froze.
Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Moratti.
Moratti nodded towards him expressionlessly.
Then he also sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, Natural Disaster also sat down.
The three of them just watched the dying hell creature continue to dig the ground.
Time flies.
It's exactly what Moratti said.
Just less than ten minutes.
The hell creature fell to the ground.
There were two shallow scratches on the ground beside him.
Those were the marks he made little by little with his fingers.
Unfortunately, these scratches were obviously not enough to cover his body.
And the raven was still hovering in the air.
A long time passed.
It just landed on the corpse of the hell creature.
I saw it pecked the eyes of the corpse with its extremely sharp and barbed beak.
"Pfft!"
It actually took out one eye of the corpse.
Then it flapped its wings, leaving a dark feather in place, and then quickly lifted into the air.
Lu Xiao rushed forward and picked up the feather from the corpse.
Looking at the feather in his hand, Lu Xiao curled his lips and said:
"It took a long time to get one."
"When will this be collected?"
At this moment, the natural disaster also followed.
He pinched his chin and whispered:
"Normally, that's how it's collected."
"However, the raven will carry the soul of the deceased back to the gathering place of the population."
"Maybe if we follow it, we can find more ravens."
Lu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the natural disaster's words.
"This is a good idea."
Moratti, who heard the discussion between the two, did not feel anything was wrong.
If you can find the raven gathering place, you can indeed get a lot of raven feathers.
This is also the fastest and best way to collect feathers.
So the three of them followed the direction in which the raven left.
The raven flew for about half a day with an eyeball in its mouth.
Finally, he stopped above a withered bush.
The environment here is unlike anywhere else in hell.
There are withered and yellow vegetation everywhere.
Countless black crows stood on the low dead branches.
They stood on the branches and looked at Lu Xiao and the three of them.
His eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.
Lu Xiao and the others kept following the raven holding the eyeball in its mouth.
Until finally, I saw him discarding the eyeball in his mouth into a huge pit on the ground.
Then Lu Xiao turned his attention to the pit.
Inside the pits are shocking eyeballs.
At the same time, countless ravens came back here from all directions with their eyeballs in their mouths.
The ravens perched on the dead branches would take off from time to time, flying in different directions.
This scene made Lu Xiao feel extremely shocked.
Every eyeball here represents a life lost.
Seemingly sensing Lu Xiao's confusion, Tianjia explained in a deep voice:
"You humans have a theory."
"The eyes are the windows of the soul."
"In other words, the eyes represent the soul."
"When a life passes away, the eyeball becomes the last habitat of the soul."
"If the eyeball is not ferried to the afterlife by a raven before the eyeball rots, then he has completely lost the chance of death."
"Of course, some races don't have such a thing as a soul."
"Only the advanced beings in the universe have souls."
"But this does not include silicon-based life."
"Because they don't need the existence of such a thing as a soul."
After listening to Natural Disaster's explanation, Lu Xiao sighed quietly and said:
"Why haven't I seen a raven on earth?"
"I've witnessed quite a few deaths."
"Don't we humans deserve souls?"
Hearing this, Tianjia pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he shook his head slightly and said:
"impossible."
"If a biological group does not have a soul, it means that this group cannot give birth to gods."
"And you humans can even give birth to gods, so they must have souls."
"As for why you haven't seen the raven, there may be another reason."
As he said this, Tianjia seemed to have remembered something.
He turned his head sharply to look at Lu Xiao and said in a deep voice:
"Maybe it has something to do with your galaxy being blocked."
"They not only blocked the galaxy, they even blocked your passage to the afterlife!"
