The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 157 Analysis Expert
"Do you really think I'm a fool?" Yuan Mu looked at him and sneered, pointed to his hand and said, "Look at you, when you saw me just now, you turned around without saying a word and ran away, just like seeing a ghost I managed to catch up with you, and you held your hand so tightly, especially when I said I knew you were separated from Meng Xiu, you looked like that, wishing you could pounce on me and kill me, you almost wrote on your face, Stay away from me, you know?"

However, Yang Yang didn't pay attention to his words, and just asked dryly: "How do you know we separated?"

"Because the two of you are not together." Yuan Mu almost laughed angrily when he heard his question, "It's fine if you think I'm stupid, but you still think I'm blind? You were the only one I saw during the whole process, Medicine Master Pearl There is only one person with the breath from the spirit, so it's hard to know."

"Then you said let Yu Zhongwu look for it..." Yang Yang couldn't turn the corner when he heard his words.

"How long do you think the spirit connecting us is? It's about five kilometers! When Du Ruo told us to find you, I already knew that you were alone, so I asked Yu Zhongwu to find Meng Xiu." After Yuan Mu explained, he looked at him and said, "I told you to go to the northern forest, which is the safest place. I don't know how you two got around, how did you come to the south?"

"Du Ruo?" Completely ignoring Yuan Mu's question, Yang Yang asked, "Isn't Du Ruo a descendant of witches?"

"You forgot?" Hearing what he said, Yuan Mu frowned and replied, "Do you remember what she said when she invited us out in the cave?"

After being reminded by him, Yang Yang remembered that at that time Du Ruo came to invite a few people out of the cave, and he had promised that if Yuan Mu and the others needed anything in the future, they would try their best to help.

"Du Ruo is a plant fairy. Compared with monsters, she has a closer connection with the spirits, so she is more professional in terms of intelligence and finding people." Yuan Mu said, smiling at Yang Yang: "This still needs to be done." Thanks to you."

"Huh? What does it matter to me?" Yang Yang, who couldn't understand what he was saying at all, asked, "I didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything here, but don't go. When you were in Danxun Mountain, Danxun blessed you with the mountain god. With it, no matter which mountain you are on, these low-level goblins will Do your best to ensure your safety, and because of this, Du Ruo is willing to disobey the order of the Malays and help us find you."

"Oh, so that's the case." After listening to Yuan Mu's explanation, Yang Yang's wariness has been reduced by more than half. After all, there are not many people who can explain the details of the previous experiences of several people so clearly.

Besides, if they can pretend to be so similar, I won't be able to see the flaws from some small details.

"So, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Yang Yang had relaxed a bit, Yuan Mu asked, "I always feel that something is wrong with you. What's the matter? Tell me."

Seeing his worried expression, Yang Yang hesitated for a while, and told Yuan Mu exactly what happened the night before, including what happened when he met Meng Xiu and what happened on the altar last night.

"You know?" After listening to Yang Yang's words, Yuan Mu was silent for a while, and then said: "The matter of Ba Snake, I know this has always been a hurdle in your heart, and I also know that the Wu Clan has a secret technique that can bring the totem back to life , but I don't know exactly what it is."

"It wasn't until we met Chacha that I realized that someone deliberately used Chacha to lure us here, especially after I knew that the text message was not sent by Chacha, I knew that their goal was not us, but you and Ba. snake."

"Later Du Ruo appeared to clarify this point. I was a little skeptical when I saw the witches, but I was sure when he said that the witches were on the decline. If it weren't for the decline of the witches, they might not be able to think of a Ba She, who has lived in seclusion for thousands of years, would not bother to trick you and Ba She into coming here. It would be fine if they only wanted eggs, but the text message clearly stated that they want you to come too."

"Reminiscent of the behavior of the Wu Clan in ancient times, it is self-evident what they want to do. That's why I let Meng Xiu take you away, because only I and Dancing in the Rain can join forces Temporarily suppress the power of the witch descendants in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so that you can truly disappear.

Otherwise, with the supernatural power of his mountain god, let alone you and Meng Xiu have such a strong consciousness as Ba Shedan, even if a bird comes here, he will know it clearly. "

After Yuan Mu finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yang, and continued: "But this time, you really exceeded my expectations. You can see the flaws in such small details. Compared with before, you have indeed made great progress. Your human race is indeed a race that is good at learning."

"But I still can't figure it out. Why do I see those people who look like you, but Meng Xiu sees something else?" After listening to his words, Yang Yang still couldn't figure it out, so he spoke out asked.

"No, it's not another appearance, it's their true appearance. What Meng Xiu sees is their true appearance. Only what you see is false." Yuan Mu laughed as he said.

"Ah? I don't understand." Looking at the familiar smile on his face, Yang Yang knew that he was going to start analyzing next.

"Do you still remember the reason for this incident?" Yuan Mu then started to sort out the clues for him and said, "Why did Chacha come back to Shiwan Dashan?"

"Looking for Suan Yu's eyes?" Yang Yang replied with some uncertainty.

"Yes, it's Suan Yu's eyes, then do you still remember what happened when you first came into contact with Suan Yu's eyes?" Yuan Mu nodded, affirmed his answer, and continued to guide.

"Damn it to me." Yang Yang replied without hesitation.

"Yes, then do you still remember that among so many of us, you are the only one who has seen hell, and our final analysis is..." Yuan Mu lowered his voice as he spoke.

"Because I'm a mortal?" Yang Yang took Yuan Mu's words consciously, and then said in surprise: "Because I'm a mortal, so what I see is what they want me to see, and Meng Xiu is not affected. The first is because he is a monster, and the second is because they use the eyes of acid and eyes?"

"It doesn't have to be Suan Yu's eyes." Yuan Mu shook his head after hearing his last sentence, "You have to know that it is very difficult to get some specific parts of the monster, and Suan Yu's eyes are not the big ones in the vegetable market. Cabbage, how can it be so easy to get."

"Then what do you mean...?" Yuan Mu's words gave Yang Yang a very bad thought.

"Things may be what you think." Seeing his solemn expression, Yuan Mu smiled and said: "The sour monks who have been exiled here have reached some kind of agreement with the descendants of the mountain god witch here, as a condition for taking them in."

Hearing this explanation, Yang Yang also confirmed what he thought in his heart. Since the opponent came prepared and had a clear goal, it is reasonable for him to be recruited.but……

"Meng Xiu and you both said that I have the blessing of the mountain god on my body, but why can't I feel it at all?" After this incident, he especially wanted to know what the so-called blessing of the mountain god is and how to use it, so as not to be in trouble next time. In such a situation, I was trapped by my ignorance again.

Because, for some reason, he always had a premonition that he would go to the mountains frequently in the future.

"The so-called mountain god's blessing, in a simple understanding, is that the mountain god's recognition of an individual is equivalent to stamping a seal on you. Of course, this stamp is invisible to ordinary people, including me. But those born from the earth veins Spirits and living beings can perceive it, so because the mountain gods in the world are connected with each other, all living beings will subconsciously protect people with this kind of imprint when they walk among the mountains."

After Yuan Mu explained, he looked at Yang Yang and asked, "I said so, do you understand?"

"I almost understand." Yang Yang nodded, "That's why when I followed the fake Yuan Mu yesterday, so many tree roots suddenly appeared on the ground to stop me, in order to keep me away from them."

After finishing speaking, he remembered one more thing: "By the way, why did Ba snake suddenly glow red that night?"

"Do you still remember the night when we discovered acid and eyes? That night, it was Yu Man who discovered for the first time that Ba snake's eggs would be glowing and hot. I think it should be his consciousness that sensed that you were in danger, so he deliberately Let me warn you in this way."

It turned out that Yang Yang felt the kindness of Ba Snake again.

He couldn't help but think of that night in Xiangxi, the figure who rushed over at the last moment, those warm amber eyes, and the last sentence, go away.

These not only became his lingering dreams, but also became the basis for him to believe that monsters are just like people, both good and bad.

If the existence of Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu made him come into contact with monsters, the existence of Ba Snake made him understand monsters in a real sense.

In this world, there are always groups that are different from humans, but since they can accept orangutans, apes, elephants and whales, why can't they accept monsters?

It's not because the non-me races have different hearts, but because they feel threatened. The human race, which claims to be at the top of the food chain, never allows the world to have existence beyond their cognition.Whether this is extreme arrogance or extreme inferiority, Yang Yang has never thought about it before.

"For Ba Snake, protecting the weak is something he will do at any time." Yuan Mu looked at his uncertain expression, and said, "If it's not you lying there one day, it's Batian or For other human races, as long as someone is about to be injured, Ba Snake will go up and block that attack." His tone was too flat, as flat as colorless and tasteless boiled water.

"It may not mean anything to him, but I was the one lying there at the time, so this is of great significance to me." Yang Yang couldn't help but responded that this was his first time after so long. Discuss this topic with people for the first time.

"Of course I understand what it means to you, but I just want to tell you that since it is so important to you, you have to do something that is equally important to him, so as not to disappoint his trust in you. "

Yuan Mu looked at Yang Yang's right wrist, which was no longer bleeding, and said word by word: "He believes that your existence will make this world a better place, instead of making you try to restore what you have lost with self-destructive thoughts. .”
