Chapter 4121 Worst Result
After hearing Kaiya's exclamation, everyone looked puzzled.
"Did something happen?"
Kaiya looked at Mud Lord with a solemn expression and asked, "Is your race extremely rare?"
Mud Duke: "What does it matter?"
A hint of urgency flashed in Kaiya's eyes: "Of course it's relevant. Answer my question first."
Mud Lord hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "I am the only one in my tribe."
"The only race?!" Kaeya's eyes widened in surprise.
Mud Duke nodded silently: "You could say that."
"Wow!" Upon hearing this news, Kaiya couldn't help but blurt out his catchphrase again, and even started pacing back and forth in the house.
This made the others even more suspicious; what had happened to shock Kaiya so much?
Despite the crowd's curiosity, Kaiya did not answer. Instead, he paced faster, his brows furrowed, his mind completely absorbed in his thoughts.
About half a minute later, Kaiya raised his head and stared intently at everyone: "We have to get out of here."
The man with the wine glass asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
“Let’s talk as we walk.” Kaiya sighed and said as he walked toward the door, “Once the Blood Child Mark is born, the Blood Cult will follow the mark to find us.”
"However, the Bloodline Faction is not always free, so even if they want to pursue the Blood Child Mark, they usually won't set off immediately."
"Instead, it will take a series of internal procedures before someone is sent."
Kaiya turned his head: "It's similar to some supernatural organizations. They can't do everything themselves. When something happens, the normal procedure is to investigate first, then issue a mission, let the right person take on the mission, and only then will someone come to handle it."
"The same applies to the bloodline mark."
Therefore, even if members of the Bloodline Sect sense the Blood Child Mark, they won't come immediately. Instead, they might delay for a while, perhaps one or two days, or even a week before arriving.
"However, this only applies to ordinary blood imprints."
At this point, Kaiya paused and looked at Mudjue with a somewhat subtle gaze.
Although Kaeya hasn't said anything about what happened next, everyone has already guessed what's going on.
"Is my bloodline mark special?" Mud Lord asked slowly.
Kaiya pursed her lips and nodded emphatically: "Not just special, but extremely, extremely, extremely special."
The repeated emphasis made everyone understand the seriousness of the matter.
Kaiya: "Normal blood essence usually takes twelve hours to turn into a blood mark. However, Mud Duke has only been exposed to blood essence for three or four hours, and now it has already turned into a blood mark."
"This is an extremely abnormal situation."
"In my opinion, there is only one possibility: your race may be very special. The Blood God is very fond of your 'flesh and blood,' so he deliberately expended his divine power to transform the blood essence into the blood imprint ahead of time."
As soon as Kaiya finished explaining, the mark between Mud Duke's eyebrows began to glow again, emitting a faint light in a rhythmic manner, like breathing.
Kaiya squinted at the glowing mark and slowly said, "It turns out my guess was right. The Blood Child Mark had barely finished converting when it began sending signals to the Blood Faction..."
"Is this a signal?" the crowd asked in astonishment, pointing to the glowing mark between Mud Duke's eyebrows.
Kaiya nodded: "Yes. A normal bloodline mark wouldn't be in a hurry to send out signals, but would instead use a concealed aura to attract the Bloodline Faction."
"But Mud Duke's blood imprint has reached the point of being reckless, continuously and incessantly activating, which is the Blood God personally urging the Blood Faction to come."
At this point, everyone understood why Kaeya's expression had changed so drastically earlier.
The Blood God didn't care about the other blood imprints at all, and the Bloodline Sect only routinely sent people over to clean them up.
However, the Blood God personally urged the creation of Mud Lord's bloodline mark, and it was even foreseeable that the Blood God would issue a divine decree remotely from the Bloodline Sect's headquarters.
In this situation, the Blood Faction will inevitably mobilize immediately to capture Mud Lord!
Even the Bloodlust Faction might already be on their way.
No, it's not just possible, it's inevitable!
“I had a sliver of hope that I might have misjudged the situation,” Kaiya said, looking at Nijue. “But when you told me that you are the only race, I knew I was right.”
Not only do the deities favor rare races, but the blood-drinking faction does as well.
Despite the numerous bloody incidents caused by the Bloodshed Faction in various places, it seems that the Bloodshed Faction doesn't care about "quality" but only "quantity".
In reality, it's not that the blood-drinking faction doesn't want "quality," but rather that high-quality sacrifices are too hard to find. Under these circumstances, they can only win by "quantity."
But now, the Mud Duke, an excellent "quality" sacrifice, has appeared, and it is also stained with the Blood Child Mark. The Blood Cult cannot let him go.
By this time, they had come out of the basement and returned to the locked-up courtyard of the building.
Feeling the heavy atmosphere around him, Mud Duke remained silent for a moment before saying, "I'll leave alone."
"No way!" Na was the first to object.
Both the wine glass and the milk dragon shook their heads directly.
Mud Duke: "Someone has to complete the mission. My sacrifice is better than everyone else's sacrifice."
After a pause, Mud Duke said in a suggestive tone, "Besides, I might not necessarily sacrifice myself."
Mud Lord's eyes flickered for a moment, and everyone understood his thoughts. If the Blood Faction wanted to sacrifice Mud Lord, he could easily be recalled by the Celestial Authority by triggering the "alert mechanism".
In that case, Mud Lord wouldn't die; at most, he would just leave Wanmengyun Harbor and return to Dream Crystal Plains at the cost of a weakened soul.
The situation with Mud Jue was broadcast live on Wine Glass.
Once Muddler "returns," Laplace will definitely send in new people.
So, all things considered, Mudjue's idea of "sacrificing" himself isn't actually that bad...
Even Na was caught in a dilemma at this moment.
She had previously worried that Mud Lord would actually sacrifice himself, but now that she has confirmed that Mud Lord simply used the alert mechanism to leave, there is not much to worry about.
However, Na still really liked Mud Duke's "vehicle." Now that he's gone, where will she find such a good vehicle...?
Even Na was persuaded, and after weighing the options, the others also felt that it made some sense.
But just then, Kaiya suddenly spoke up: "No, I absolutely will not let you sacrifice yourself!"
Mud Duke: "Why?"
Kaiya shook his head: "There's no why. I don't want to see you die, and I will definitely find a way to save you."
Mud Lord was taken aback. Looking at Kaiya's suddenly resolute expression, he vaguely recalled that even though everyone had not agreed to send a message to Kaiya, Kaiya insisted on using the purification ritual on them and even painstakingly told them about the dangers of the bloodline mark.
When asked why, the answer is simply this:
—I don't want to see you die.
Kaiya repeated the same words. There was still no reason; he simply didn't want him to die.
Moreover, Kaiya is truly putting it into practice.
Because back in the basement, he could have simply told Mudjue the truth and let him choose. At that point, Mudjue would most likely have chosen to leave alone.
In this way, Kaiya won't have to bear any responsibility.
However, Kaiya did not do that. He led everyone out of the basement, setting an example by showing that he was unwilling to abandon anyone.
Even though Mud Lord is now being targeted by the Blood Faction, he is willing to share the burden.
Even though everyone had witnessed this sincerity before, seeing it again still moved them with Kaiya's genuineness.
Nijue suppressed a slight ripple in his heart and tried to tell Kaiya that leaving alone was the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.
But before Mud Lord could speak, Kaiya turned to Na and said, "You just judged that the people of the Divine Faction were most likely in Vampire Town or Dream Beast Town, right?"
Na hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Kaeya: "If you absolutely had to choose one, do you think the people of the Divine Faction are most likely to appear in Vampire Town or Dream Beast Town?"
Hearing Kaiya's question, Na wasn't stupid; she probably already guessed what he was thinking.
The Blood Faction and the God-worshipping Faction are related.
Since the Blood Faction sent people to capture Ni Jue, let's lead them to the territory of the God-Worshipping Faction and let the two sides fight each other.
Moreover, the people of the Divine Faction also have a great fondness for rare races, and if they saw Mud Lord, they would probably want to capture him as well.
Being captured by the people of the Divine Faction is also their target, so this is a win-win situation.
However, all of this is based on the premise that Vampire Town and Dream Beast Town actually have strongholds of the God-worshipping Faction.
"What if I'm wrong and there are no Divine Faction outposts in Vampire Town and Dream Beast Town?" Na silently looked at Kaiya.
Kaiya waved his hand and said, "If we're wrong, we're wrong. Both Vampire Town and Dream Beast Town have the God Slayer Division and the Enforcement Team. They can cover for us. Besides, as I just said, the power level in these two towns is much higher."
Under normal circumstances, if the nobles saw the blood mark on Nijue's body, they would definitely eliminate Nijue to avoid future troubles.
However, if the Blood Faction were to pursue them at this time, Yi Gui would definitely prioritize eliminating the Blood Faction members rather than a Blood Slave who couldn't cause any significant trouble.
So, although Kaiya's seemingly rash decision to "share the consequences" may seem impulsive, he had actually considered multiple possible consequences.
Every aspect has been considered.
Kaiya has already considered so many things, and Nijue also thinks it makes some sense.
He had originally planned to leave alone, but now he was inclined to take a chance with Kaiya.
Mud Duke looked at the others.
Whether it was Na, the wine glass, or the milk dragon, they all made the same decision after exchanging glances.
spell!
At worst, all four of them can trigger the "alert mechanism" together.
We'll go out together and advance together!
However, before triggering the alert mechanism, Kaeya's safety must be protected first. They have backup plans, but Kaeya doesn't.
Thinking of this, Mud Duke slowly said, "You must not rush to the front later, and it is best to hide your figure."
Kaiya frowned: "Why?"
Mud Duke said softly, "Our group actually belongs to a rare race. As a rare race, we always have some special characteristics."
"What's special about it?" Kaya asked, puzzled.
Mud Duke nodded: "You can think of it as us having a chance to teleport before we die."
Teleportation before death? Kaeya's expression was one of utter astonishment; his mouth hung open in disbelief.
Does this life-saving ability really exist?!
But aren't you ordinary people?
Nijue noticed Kaiya's confusion and was about to explain when Na spoke first: "This is an ability bestowed upon us by the will of the world."
World will?
Another word that shocked Kaiya.
As a nobleman, he naturally knew about the will of the world. He had even heard his teacher say that some lucky individuals were favored by the will of the world from the moment they were born, and were endowed with powerful talents.
But Kaiya always thought it was just a "rumor".
Unexpectedly, the group of people he met today all possessed abilities granted by the will of the world.
"It's not a talent, just a one-time ability." Na: "Perhaps the world's will feels that our race is too small and wants to avoid complete extinction?"
Na used "world will" as a pretext, and Kaiya did not question it.
Because no one dares to joke about the "will of the world".
However, what Kaiya didn't know was that although Na was telling the truth, the "world will" she mentioned was not the will of the Yi World, but the will of the Dream Crystal Plain.
Upon learning that the group possessed the ability to "teleport before death," Kaeya finally understood Muddair's good intentions.
“I understand, I will try my best to hide myself then!” Kaeya smiled brightly. “Besides, you have a backup plan of random teleportation, but I also have some trump cards.”
“I was originally planning to give it to Mud Lord, but since your trump card is stronger than mine, I'll use it myself.” Kaiya murmured, “However, as long as things go according to plan, I shouldn't have to use my trump card…”
"Let's not talk about this anymore. We have to leave now, or it will be too late."
As Kaiya finished speaking, he looked at Na.
Na also understood what Kaiya meant, letting her decide whether to go to Vampire Town or Dream Beast Town.
Na actually found it difficult to make a decision.
The map she drew using criminal psychology could only define a general area at best, but further clarification would require more information.
But right now, what they lack most is intelligence.
Moreover, criminal psychology may not be useful in this context.
"No clue?" At that moment, Ni Jue's voice suddenly entered Na's mind.
Because the tail of the Na is inserted into the body of the Mud Duke, they can use a kind of "telepathic communication" ability.
"I don't know which one to choose," Na expressed her dilemma.
Mud Duke was silent for a moment, then said, "Just choose one based on your intuition."
"Given our current luck, choosing based on intuition would probably be the worst option."
After a pause, Mud Duke changed the subject: "However, the worst option may not be the worst option for us."
In Mud Lord's view, the worst outcome would be that he would be targeted not only by the Bloodlust Faction but also by the Divine Worship Faction.
Being hunted down by two major heretical sects simultaneously would definitely be the worst outcome among all possibilities.
For others, this is a doomed option.
But for them, this worst-case scenario is actually the outcome they want to achieve.
Na heard this and thought it made sense.
Then choose based on your intuition.
"Let's choose... Vampire Town."
