People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 877: The Lupers and Their Big Wolfhounds

Qi tilted his head, somewhat unable to understand Qi Yan's complaints.

"That little guy is indeed a little stupid, and his way of thinking is a little weird, but it's just a fire, it doesn't have much effect on me."

Qi acted very tolerant and really didn't care about his hair being set on fire.

Qi Yan couldn't help but blush: "It's already so hot, and you haven't been affected yet... What about the next time?"

Seeing Qi Yan's question, Qi continued to tell the story:

“Then the little guy hurriedly took off his clothes to put out the fire, but his clothes were also burned.

Then he got even colder, huddled up in my hair, and suddenly realized something."

"what?"

"There was snow all around, and he could have scooped up some snow to put out the fire."

"..."

Qi Yan couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He was a little confused. How did the Qi family continue from generation to generation when they had such an ancestor? Oh yes, the only true descendant of the Qi family was Qi Lin.

That's fine.

Qi Yan shook his head, suppressed the hellish joke in his heart, and continued to wait for Qi's story.

Without letting him wait too long, Qi quickly came back to his senses from his reminiscence and told the rest of the story:

“Although my body temperature was higher than the ice and snow, the little guy was still freezing after losing his clothes.

Seeing that he was about to pluck my hair to make clothes, I had no choice but to pick him up and take him to the foot of the snowy mountain to find his tribe. "

"You're quite enthusiastic."

"I have no interest in having ice sculptures in my home where I sleep."

Qi argued with a bit of arrogance and quickly skipped the topic: "The Qi clan's tribe is not difficult to find. The little guy just got lost in the mountains because he was too playful. After I sent him back to the tribe, I received a warm hospitality from the Qi clan members."

"Aren't they afraid of you?"

"...They thought I was a wild wolf-dog from the mountains."

"puff--"

"...They also threw bones at me... ugh!"

Qi used up all his sighs for the whole year on today.

Seeing Qi Yan lying in his hair and laughing so hard that his shoulders were twitching, Qi shook his head and continued to talk:

"I spoke and rejected their kindness, which attracted more people to gather around and watch me, a talking wolf-dog spirit.

In order to make me say more and satisfy their curiosity, they found more bones, and the trained wolfhounds in the tribe were attracted to me and looked at me resentfully, but they didn’t dare to come forward.

"Now they should realize something is wrong." Qi Yan interrupted.

Qi was still shaking his head: "They became even more excited, thinking that I was the legendary wolf-dog king, and started to hold a party around me."

"You didn't explain it?"

"I don't think I need to explain anything to a group of humans." Qi paused here and added, "And I think if I explain it myself, they will only be more excited, and then sing and dance more happily."

Qi Yan: "...I thought my arrival would be a special case for the Qi family in this land, but I didn't expect Qi Lin to be that special case."

"But it's interesting, isn't it?" Qi said with a smile.

"Indeed!" Qi Yan nodded to show his understanding, "Just like when humans see a group of ants dancing around them and offering a pile of insect corpses, anyone would stay and observe carefully.

So that's how you got to know the Qi family?"

"Yes, I stayed and became an idle... wolf-dog in the tribe."

Qi’s tone was somewhat helpless, but more of it was doting: “These creatures, who seemed so small and fragile to me, showed me their passion and tenacity.

The tribesmen, because I could speak, established tribal rules to treat me as a member of the tribe, wrote me into the family tree, and gave me my current name using their surnames.

After that, I watched the house they built for me take shape day by day, watched them come back from hunting in groups, cut the meat of the prey and give it to me, and watched their children play and play around me, growing up day by day. "

At this point, Qi's tone revealed an unconcealable smile and ease:

"I thought they were offering me a sacrifice, so I asked them if they had any wishes. They were really excited, but after a meeting of the whole tribe, they unanimously decided that they wanted me to perform Three People and a Cow at the gathering."

"Don't tell me you really performed." Qi Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This is their wish." Qi said calmly, "I have successfully fulfilled their wish. Amidst the cheers, the adults in the tribe picked up their children and excitedly said to them...

They said, look at how good your Uncle Qi's appetite is, you should learn from him, eat well, and grow up well... Ha, a group of fragile humans actually call themselves my peers. "

"Then?"

"After that, my dissatisfaction was resolved."

Qi half-jokingly said: "As I have lived in the tribe for more years, I have successfully become an ancestor."

Qi Yan: "..."

"I watched the little ones who used to climb on me grow up, and then they held new ones and asked me to take care of them. Then the new ones also grew up, and time seemed to be caught in a cycle. I thought I would lose interest soon."

Qi sighed, “But I have been observing them for 473 years, and I still find this kind of life very interesting.

Gradually, I started to think that this would continue and that would be fine, but then things took a turn that I didn’t expect.”

"The mirror appeared?"

"To be precise, he has awakened. He was sleeping deep in the mountains."

Qi Yan guessed, "So, his bad temper after waking up led to the battle I saw when I was lying in the sarcophagus?"

This time, Qi did not rush to answer. His originally sentimental mood turned into depression, even with guilt.

After a long while, He whispered, "The Mirror will not notice the existence of a group of humans. His authority makes Him immerse Himself in imitation most of the time. Do you remember a detail in my story?

The mountains where the Qi family lived originally had a relatively cold ecology. They were completely covered with ice and snow only after I appeared. That was because Jing unconsciously imitated me when he was asleep, releasing the coldness that changed the topography of the mountains.

When he woke up, the imitation became even more profound, and the mountains were completely shrouded in ice and snow, with no life left."

"So in order to protect the Qi family, a conflict arose among you?" Qi Yan vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

Qi's silence seemed to confirm his guess.

Seeing this, Qi Yan stretched out his arm and patted Qi's tail:

"There's no need to dwell on the past. Jing has a grudge against our Qi family, so he's doomed."

"But the real reason is that I was the one who caused the destruction of the Qi family." Qi closed his golden eyes and said painfully, "After discussion, the tribe had decided to move away from the ancestral land and find a new environment suitable for survival.

It was I who presumptuously regarded the Qi family as vassal, and found Jing to ask Him to stop imitating, but because of my arrogance and hostility, I was also imitated by him, which eventually led to the battle.

When I risked my life to make Jing fall asleep again despite my serious injuries, I returned to the tribe and found that... because of my impulsiveness, the tribesmen were buried under the ice and snow before they could evacuate in time due to the aftermath of our fight. "
