Chapter 72: Rift
Feng Zhi and Hua Zhi carefully observed Xiao Si's exposed skin, and it took them a long time to let go of their worries.

Le Zhi casually took out a big apple from the bag, rubbed it vigorously with his second brother's clothes, and started eating.

While chewing, she asked, "Look how scared you two are. Is it that serious? Are you so nervous?"

Feng Zhi sighed and decided to give Xiao Si some general knowledge.

"The Rift Curse is a common method used by the priests of Winged Beast City. It is usually used to punish disobedient slaves. Doesn't the bird orc you saw look weak and rotten like a rotten bone?"

Le Zhi puffed up his cheeks and nodded slightly.

Feng Zhi: "Within a month, this orc will rot into rotten meat. This is different from the venom we use. It is a long and torturous way to die. The venom is easy to digest. As long as it is not excessive, the symptoms can be suppressed for a short period of time, just like you, Xiao Si, used your ability to isolate the venom in your body."

"The curse is different. It is an extremely vicious act. The cursed person cannot survive and must endure the pain of the body for a month until it turns into rotten meat. It will torture the person until death. Moreover, the priest of Winged Beast City has never lifted the curse on anyone. Do you understand the seriousness of the matter now?"

Now it was Le Zhi's turn to be dumbfounded. He couldn't swallow the fruit in his mouth and got goose bumps all over his body.

As soon as she spoke, some fruit crumbs fell out of her mouth, and she quickly put it back.

"How cruel! You won't leave any chance of survival?"

The second brother Huazhi shook his head, took a sip of water, and said, "Little Four is still young and inexperienced. This is not all. Don't think that the environment of the Eclipse Beast City where we have been living is a bit messy, but fortunately, we brothers have been secretly managing it. It may not look as good as those big cities on the surface, but the people are still simple and honest inside. At least everyone can still drink a little wine and go to the yellow mud stall to have a bowl of fruit soup without any care. You can't just look at the rich appearance of this Winged Beast City. In fact, the rulers of the upper city are all the same despicable villains. They are used to using such inferior means to maintain their reputation and status. It's disgusting."

Le Zhi stretched his neck and swallowed the food with his throat held back.

"What kind of orc is the high priest of Winged Beast City? My third brother is also a priest, so why can't he curse?"

Feng Zhi said unhappily, "Little Four, I was the one who taught your third brother. Cursing is harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, so of course I won't let him learn it. As for the priest here, he is a male beast from the 鸩鸟 tribe. He is even worse than your second brother in the use of poison. He is a low-level city destroyer, but he likes to delve into forbidden secret arts. That's how the Rift Curse came about."

Huazhi thought that his elder brother was praising him, and his six compound eyes were smiling.

Le Zhi looked at his unruly second brother with a feeling of disgust.

"He's not as good as my second brother. Otherwise, my second brother will pluck his hair and put him in the pot, and we can just be the local tyrants here."

The second brother patted the fourth brother's head and said happily, "Thank you for your praise, but not everyone can be a priest. There are many rules and regulations for being a priest. The lives of the orcs in the whole city will be related to the interests of the high priest. With your third brother's experience, let's not consider such troublesome things."

A mosquito flew over the table and Huazhi opened his mouth to eat it.

All three of them ate some of the fruit and waited until the bleeding stopped at midnight before returning home.

The third brother's complexion was not very good, even gloomy. Xue Zhi showed little expression, probably because he had found out something important.

Xue Zhi said: "That bastard Yan Qiu discovered our whereabouts, and he specifically asked to see Xiao Si..."

The second brother's expression changed instantly, veins popped out on his forehead, and his dark eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The eldest brother was as steady as a rock and tapped the table twice with his knuckles.

"Be patient, he is just a priest. He can't cause any trouble in front of our family. If he dared to do anything, he wouldn't have waited until now. Let's see what he is up to first."

The second brother was so anxious that he jumped up and down, trying to persuade Fengzhi: "Brother! Xiaosi is still a cub. If she goes to the upper city, won't she be skinned alive? How can you let her go to see the damn priest?" Xuezhi also spoke, and his idea coincided with the second brother's.

"Brother, Xiao Si really can't go to the upper city, it's too dangerous..."

Feng Zhi naturally understood what his two younger brothers meant, but he only touched Xiao Si who was sleeping on the table.

His eyes were gentle and pure, and he said calmly: "Let's go together. We won't let Xiao Si face it alone. No matter what kind of monsters and demons they are, as long as there are any abnormalities, we will kill them cleanly and save me from going to your house to cause trouble. Don't you two still trust my strength?"

The second and third brothers breathed a sigh of relief. If the eldest brother was willing to take action, even with his demigod body, several winged beast cities would not be enough to kill him.

Outside the window, birds were singing and flowers were blooming. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrant scent of the woods. Huazhi made a big grimace.

"Xiao Si is up!"

This scare almost caused Lezhi to have a heart attack.

The girl raised her pink fist and hit her second brother's handsome face. Although it didn't have much killing power, it was still powerful.

She screamed, "What are you doing! Second brother, if you are going crazy early in the morning, don't take me with you!"

The second brother's wheat-colored skin was not even left with a trace. He smiled and said, "Big brother is taking us out to play today. If you don't get up, you will miss it~"

Le Zhi didn't care that he was now disheveled and ran around the room in his loose lining, constantly looking for the messy clothes on the floor.

Along the way, the three brothers gave him many instructions, and every sentence mentioned the name of the Winged Beast City Priest. Le Zhi's ears were almost callused from listening to them...

Why didn’t I know before that the male animal in my home is so noisy, even more exciting than the old man selling fruit on the roadside!

The scene before my eyes seemed to be in another dimension. The steep ladder reached straight to the clouds, and every step was accompanied by a dangerous creaking sound.

Le Zhi couldn't help but look down. Through the gap in the ladder, she could even see the mist on the top of the mountain. Her legs felt a little weak.

If I take a wrong step, I'll be smashed into a pulp!

Feng Zhi said from behind, "Xiao Si, pay attention to the road ahead. Don't look down. You won't fall. Don't be afraid."

The girl steadied her gaze and looked towards the Cloud Island high above.

The magnificent building stands among them. The towering white bird's nest is particularly eye-catching, and it is impossible to tell what material it is made of.

The higher they went, the thinner the air became and the colder the temperature became. Every breath the girl exhaled turned into liquefied white smoke.

Lezhi had never experienced such an environment before and just thought it was fun.

In fact, they also encountered several flightless birds and beasts on the way. They passed through the ladder and saw Le Zhi's naive look, and they looked even more arrogant and domineering.

The Winged Orcs really don't tolerate any sand in their eyes, and they will respond to any trivial matter.

To put it bluntly, it's owed!
Watching this makes my teeth itch, and I already want to eat yakitori...
