If an array disc could only cover such a small area when activated, it would be of little use.
Of course, this might be related to his current cultivation level being restricted and his lack of proficiency in refining array discs.
Perhaps when his cultivation level increased and he became more proficient, the range of such array discs would be even larger.
Just as he was thinking this, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly sounded. Lu Ye frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
That scream sounded again. At first, Lu Ye thought that someone had been killed, but he quickly realized that things might not be as he thought. He stood up and walked out of the cave, following the source of the sound. The sound came from the direction of the cave entrance, where the pregnant human women lived.
When Lu Ye walked over, the pregnant women living in the caves were all looking around, worry written all over their faces. Sensing Lu Ye's footsteps, these women quickly shrank back and hid in the corners.
Lu Ye walked straight to the entrance of a cave on his left and glanced around. He saw a woman sitting on the ground with a pale face. Her face and forehead were covered in sweat and her hair was disheveled. She had one hand clasped on the stone wall to the side, her hand dripping with blood. Her other hand was stroking her belly.
Blood was flowing between her legs.
This woman … was about to give birth.
Although Lu Ye had guessed this, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, he quickly reacted. He turned around and shouted, "Which one of you knows how to deliver a baby?" It was definitely not the first time a pregnant woman gave birth here. Someone must have given birth before, so someone must have experience.
No one dared to speak.
To these kidnapped women, they had never left their caves since they came here, nor had they spoken to anyone. Naturally, they didn't dare to answer Lu Ye's question.
Lu Ye frowned. He could only ask again, "Who has experience? Come out and help." Still, no one responded.
Lu Ye had no choice. He couldn't just randomly grab someone to help. They might not be able to help and might even cause more trouble. Gritting his teeth, he stepped into the cave. Seeing him walk in, the woman who was exerting her strength raised her head and looked at him sadly, the pain in her eyes mixed with a trace of pleading.
Lu Ye stepped forward, thought for a moment, and then placed a hand on her shoulder. "I don't know how to do it, but I'm afraid you'll have to work hard on your own. I'll do my best to protect you." As he spoke, he poured a bit of spiritual power into the woman's body.
This woman wasn't a mortal, but a cultivator. However, her cultivation wasn't high, only at the Fourth-Order Spirit Stream Realm.
Even so, the pain of childbirth was not something she could bear. In such an environment, with no one to help her, it was very likely that her life would be in danger.
Under the urging of the spirit power, the woman's tightly knitted brows relaxed a little. She suddenly took a deep breath, exerted force, and let out a suppressed scream.
At this moment, Lu Ye had an incredulous look on his face, because he discovered something that he couldn't understand. He was silently using his spiritual power to perceive the situation inside the woman's body.
As time passed, the woman's labor situation wasn't very good. Although she used her strength several times, she still couldn't give birth to the fetus in her belly. On the contrary, she became weaker, and gradually, even her vitality became weaker. How could she have the strength to give birth again? Human babies consumed a lot of the mother's foundation to give birth to a Blood Race baby. Generally speaking, any woman who gave birth to a Blood Race baby wouldn't live long. Many times, human women would die during the process of giving birth. Every time this happened, Blood Race members would cut open their bellies to take the fetus.
Take this moment for example. Lu Ye could clearly feel that the fetus in the woman's belly was madly devouring everything in its mother's body. This was also the reason why she couldn't give birth smoothly even though she was a Fourth-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator.
If it were a normal fetus, it would have already been born.
Feeling the woman's vitality on the verge of collapse, Lu Ye knew that if he didn't do anything, this woman would definitely die here.
No longer hesitating, Lu Ye urged the Rainbow Phoenix Dual Flight Spirit Tattoo on the woman. In an instant, the Spirit Tattoo was constructed, and the woman, who had fallen into despair and tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes. She felt an astonishing surge of vitality pouring into her body through some unknown method, like a dry land being watered by rain. Not only did it give her a lot of strength out of thin air, but even the foundation of her body, which had been devoured by the fetus during her pregnancy, was quickly replenished.
She naturally knew where all this came from. Turning her head to look at Lu Ye, who was holding her arm, she cast a grateful look at him and exerted her strength again. After a short while, the woman's final scream rang out, and the fetus in her belly was successfully born. Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked forward, his eyelids drooping slightly.
There was no baby crying, because a Blood Race fetus wasn't born in the form of a baby.
At this moment, the woman gave birth to an oval egg with a dark red surface and visible veins.
At first glance, it looked like a flesh egg, and the veins on its surface were slightly pulsating, as if it was breathing.
In the Blood Race's name, this was a Blood Fetus.
A Blood Fetus needed to be sent to a special place to be nurtured. Only then would the Blood Fetus break out of the egg and become a true Blood Race member. The place where the Blood Fetus was nurtured was called the Blood River. In the entire Blood Refinement Realm, the Blood River ran through the north, south, east, and west, branching off in different places. It could be said that the Blood River was the foundation of the Blood Race. Without the Blood River, there would be no Blood Race.
This information was obtained from the memories of the dead Blood Race member.
Lu Ye looked at the Blood Fetus, recalling the information he had obtained. Unexpectedly, the woman beside him suddenly stood up, drew the Mountain Knife from his waist, and viciously chopped at the Blood Fetus between his legs.
With just one slash, the Blood Fetus was cut open.
However, because the Mountain Knife itself wasn't sharp, it couldn't cut open the Blood Fetus.
The woman's action undoubtedly surprised Lu Ye, because in the minds of the Blood Race, the Blood Race was sacred and inviolable. No matter what the Blood Race did to them, they could only silently bear it. Even if the Blood Race wanted their lives, they wouldn't resist.
This wasn't because they were weak or cowardly, but because of their deep-rooted beliefs.
The vampires weren't the only ones who viewed the humans of this world as livestock. Even the humans themselves viewed themselves as livestock.
Under such circumstances, it was inconceivable for a human woman to have the guts to draw her blade and chop at the Blood Fetus.
That was why he didn't do anything despite being able to stop her.
He could only watch as the woman wailed and waved her Pan Shan Saber, chopping the blood fetus that she had painstakingly given birth to into pieces.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
It wasn't until the Blood Fetus was no longer recognizable that the Blood Fetus began to bawl her eyes out.
Lu Ye silently sheathed the Mountain Knife, got up, and walked out of the cave.
Although he had never delivered a baby before, he at least knew that a lot of hot water was needed.
He decided to boil some water.
He didn't need to do it himself. He called over the two human youths who had once served Sun Miaozhu and instructed them to bring some hot water over. Lu Ye personally sent the water to the woman's cave and asked her to clean it up herself before leaving.
Although the woman had consumed a lot of her foundation during pregnancy, she had already replenished it with the nourishment of the Rainbow Phoenix Double Flight Spirit Tattoo. She only needed a short rest to completely recover.
He busied himself.
Two hours later, Lu Ye, who was studying how to better refine the Kindred Branch Spirit Tattoo formation plate, heard a series of footsteps. Soon, the woman came to his cave and stood still.
Lu Ye put down the formation plate in his hand and looked up to see the woman standing there. She must have washed her body, as the original filth had long been washed away. However, she didn't change her clothes, so they were still dirty.
Her hair was simply combed, but it was still a little messy.
She stood at the cave entrance nervously and met Lu Ye's gaze. She only avoided it for a moment before looking up at Lu Ye. She pursed her lips and walked in. Without a word, she knelt in front of Lu Ye and kowtowed a few times.
She probably wanted to express her gratitude.
After all, if it wasn't for Lu Ye just now, she would most likely be dead. Lu Ye activated his spiritual power and raised his hand.
The woman's upper body involuntarily straightened.
"What's your name?" Lu Ye asked.
The woman replied, "Lan Qiyue."
Her voice was a little hoarse. Although because of Lu Ye, her body's deficit was replenished, but after all, she had been shouting so loudly. "Why did you kill the blood fetus?" Lu Ye asked again. "After all, you gave birth to him.
Lan Qiyue, who had calmed down, suddenly became agitated again. "The Blood Clan is not good. If he grows up, I don't know how many people he will harm, so I killed him." Lu Ye noticed one thing. She didn't call the Blood Clan the Holy Clan, but directly called them the Blood Clan. Moreover, she didn't have the slightest respect for the Blood Clan, only endless hatred and hatred.
This was completely not seen in the villagers of Cangnan Village.
It seemed that even under the great influence of the Blood Refining World, there were still people who were born with the heart to resist.
"Do you think I shouldn't have killed him?" Lan Qiyue looked at Lu Ye.
"No." Lu Ye shook his head. "Even if you didn't kill him, I wouldn't have let him live." Although the child was innocent, the Blood Clan was still the Blood Clan. Just as Lan Qiyue said, if he grew up, who knew how many people he would harm. Lu Ye didn't intend to let the blood fetus live.
Hearing such an answer, Lan Qiyue was obviously surprised. She stared at Lu Ye in a daze. She didn't know who Lu Ye was, but when she saw Lu Ye return with Zhang Julai yesterday, she thought Lu Ye was the other party's blood slave.
But today, her life was saved by Lu Ye, so she didn't want to deceive Lu Ye, so she answered whatever Lu Ye asked.
Looking at it now, the man in front of her didn't seem to be a blood slave, because if he was a blood slave, he wouldn't have the intention to harm the Blood Clan.
