Beasts become gods

Chapter 1 A baby with horns

Whenever we open biographies and want to review the course of history, we always see in the writings of the victorious side those words describing how heroic the victorious soldiers were, but we cannot see how many bones of crazy aliens were buried.

——"Epilogue to Chapter 36 of Chapter 4 of the Chronicle of the Garo Empire—Records of the Qin Dynasty's Northern Expedition"

In the late spring of the 227th year of the Jia Luo Empire, it was already early April in the coastal area of ​​the southern region of the empire. Two full moons hung in the sky, one green and one yellow, reflecting the sea water and creating countless refracted light waves. There was a village growing faintly on the seaside.

There are several tall coconut trees, and there are soldiers in groups near the village. Groups of three are patrolling and guarding the village. Some of them are wearing green armor, and some are wearing sea blue armor, guarding the village.

They stood guard, but their eyes were always on the seaside.

And just when the soldiers were repeatedly performing their patrol duties and had formed a conditioned reflex to step forward, a battered-looking scout hurried towards the village, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Because the arm was swinging too fast and the pace was too fast, half of the armband on the arm was cracked. As the arm kept swinging, the originally strong brim of the hat became soft. It looked like it was running from an extremely far away place.

Sweated a lot.

When the scout ran up to the patrol, he held his thighs with both hands and gasped continuously from the scout's mouth, his lungs inhaling and exhaling like bellows with holes. The patrol hurriedly and gently

He patted the scout's back, smoothed his back from time to time, and tried to make the scout stand upright. Another patrolman handed a water bag and fed it to the scout's mouth for him to drink.

When the scout's breathing was no longer rapid, phrases that were not fluent came out of the scout's mouth.

"On the beach... I found a... baby... go... and report it to General Qiao..."

The patrols were stunned when they heard this. Except for the Xunbao Camp and Zhufeng Camp that were stationed here in the Southern Territory, there were no other people around. As early as ten years ago, Emperor Jia Luo had just ascended the throne.

Chen Tiaoling was dispatched here. It can be said that this place has remained the same for ten years. Except for the marine beasts that constantly invade the coastline, it is rare to see strangers.

"I'm going to report to General Qiao, Qiao Liang, to take good care of this colleague."

The patrolman named Qiao Liang nodded in response, and the patrolman ran into the village.

Not long after, an old man with a strong figure but a bit of a hunchback, wearing casual clothes and a cane, walked out of the village. He looked at the scout intently and bowed in front of the scout.

Upon seeing this, the scout soldiers quickly knelt down on one knee and performed military salutes.

"I remember your name is Qiao Min, right? Where did you find the baby? Take me there!"

"General Qi, I am Qiao Min. I know where it is. I will take you there!"

"Qiao Wei, summon the Thunder Swallowing Leopard and give him a ride."

"As you command!"

Qiao Wei and General Qiao summoned the Thunder Swallowing Leopard from the spiritual knots in their hands. It had yellow hair all over its body and a purple neck mane. There was a four-section folded thunder pattern between the eyebrows on its forehead. All four claws were shrouded in electrical clouds, and its tail was in the air.

It stood up and down, the end of its tail exploded with hair, its waist and abdomen were extremely thin, and its limbs were extremely strong.

Just like that, under the direction of scout Qiao Min, we came to the beach and found a child sleeping on a finely crafted square cloth with a spindle-shaped gem the size of an adult's fist on the square cloth.

General Qiao jumped off the leopard's back and walked forward, crouching down and looking at the baby on the square cloth.

I reached out and touched the child's forehead. It was a little hot. He must have been exposed to the sea breeze for a long time and was infected by the wind chill. When he rubbed his forehead with his calloused hands, he found that the right side of the baby's forehead was on the eyebrow bone.

There is actually a bulge at the top.

General Qiao opened his eyes and took a serious look at the baby's forehead. There was indeed a bulge, which looked like a horn.

"Who abandoned this baby here? If the scouts hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid the marine spirit beasts along the coast would have eaten him as a snack."

General Qiao was thinking in his mind, and kept touching the baby's forehead with the pads of his fingers.

After thinking about it, General Qiao picked up the baby and said to Qiao Min: "Well done, you have fulfilled your duties as a scout. Tomorrow go to Manager Yang's Spirit Beast Park and contract a Wind Chasing Dragon Horse. From now on

There's no need to run away by yourself. Qiao Wei, put the square cloth and the gem on the ground away, send Qiao Min back to the scout post, and then send the square cloth and the gem to Yang Shuqi."

"As ordered!" Qiao Wei's reply was always serious and firm.

"Thank you, General! Thank you, Manager!" Qiao Min was very smart. She gave a military salute with one hand and looked at General Qiao with firm eyes without flickering.

Upon seeing this, General Qiao summoned the Thunder Swallowing Leopard, hugged the baby on the chest with one hand, and hugged the Thunder Swallowing Leopard's neck with the other hand, and leaned back to the village.

The Thunder-Swallowing Leopard was extremely fast and rushed back to the village in less than a moment. General Qiao took the Thunder-Swallowing Leopard back into his body and walked quickly to the clinic. Under the cover of night, the yard felt very moist. General Qiao forced his voice into a line.

He shouted from the consulting room: "Doctor Cui, open the door quickly. We found a baby on the beach. He probably has a fever."

The door opened quickly. The person who opened the door was a disheveled middle-aged man with delicate eyebrows and a strong nose. His collarbone and neck were exposed, and his fair skin was clearly visible. He looked at the baby held in Mr. Qiao's hands, and his eyes returned

A look of confusion appeared on General Qiao's face.

On the other hand, the voice produced is also soft and slender, not like a man's voice.

"Mr. Qiao, why are you here so late because of a baby like this? Isn't this abandoned by one of the soldiers in your two military camps?"

"We don't know yet. I'll check it out one by one tomorrow morning. The top priority is to ask Divine Doctor Cui to diagnose and treat him. He must have been frozen by the sea breeze."

Doctor Cui took the baby carried by General Qiao and entered the room, closed the door. He checked the child's physical signs, and after a while he said to General Qiao: "Let the soldiers prepare toad grass, cicada saliva, clear mushrooms and toad grass."

It is a grass with nine fruits, the cicada is a flat transparent crystal, and the qinggu is a fat flat-headed mushroom with an orange core that slowly turns yellow at the end of the mushroom."

After a pause, Doctor Cui continued: "You have to be fast, otherwise this baby may burn out his head and become dementia."

General Qiao became anxious upon hearing this. He rushed out of the door and shouted loudly: "Xunbao Camp, Zhufeng Camp, listen to the order!"

In the blink of an eye, I saw a group of soldiers coming from all directions one after another, all standing straight with expressionless faces, waiting for the general's order.

"Go find these three medicinal materials: toad grass, cicada saliva, and green mushroom. You have to be fast!"
