The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 437 Divine Beast
Two days have passed since Hong Yuan came back from the Vampire Club.Within two days, Yue Bing and Hong Yuan dispatched all the people in their forces to investigate the vampires.

However, the investigation of the vampires has not yet come to fruition, but they ushered in an unexpected person, who also brought a new turning point for this matter.

It was very quiet in the dim sum shop at two o'clock in the afternoon.These days, due to the actions of Hong Yuan and Yue Bing, the monsters have heard the news and stopped walking around.

Suddenly, the pastry shop suddenly fell silent, and Michelle took the opportunity to organize things in the house.

Just when she was considering whether to update the menu, the wind chime hanging at the door rang.So, she put down her work and walked out, wanting to know which guest was coming at this time.

But she never thought that she saw a strange face.The person who came had snow-white hair and looked like a very young man.

A white-haired man walked in.Before he could open his mouth and ask the man what he needed, the man opened his mouth and said, "Has Qiongqi come over?"

His words made Michelle a little overwhelmed.It took a long time to realize that the Qiongqi the man was talking about was the monster that Hong Yuan and the others were talking about before.So she shook her head and said, "No, I didn't see him. If you have something to ask him, why don't you wait?"

Hearing her words, the white-haired man frowned, and said after a while, "He made an appointment with me here, why hasn't he come yet?"

"If he made an appointment here with you, it must be delayed due to something on the road. Can you wait a little bit?" After saying this, the image of the boy named Qiongqi appeared in Michelle's mind.She said, "I'm Michelle, the owner of this pastry shop."

The reason why Michelle said this was to reassure the white-haired man.Unexpectedly, when the white-haired man heard her name, his eyes widened, as if he was recalling something.After a while, he said, "Michelle? You are Michelle. I heard Yang Yang talk about you."

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang's name could be heard from a stranger's mouth.Michelle was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who are you?"

"I'm Baihu." The white-haired man didn't seem to intend to hide his identity, and said, "Yang Yang mentioned that you opened a dim sum shop in Shanghai. He said that the dim sum you make is very delicious, so you are poor." When Qi made an appointment with me, I made an appointment here."

After saying this, he showed a simple and honest smile, and continued: "I heard from Yang Yang that your mango pudding is very delicious, but I don't know what it is."

His words made Michelle laugh.Indeed, as a divine beast guarding the Kunlun Mountains all year round, the white tiger must have never eaten mangoes.Therefore, it is normal for him not to know what mango pudding is.

Thinking so, Michelle pointed to the table beside her and said, "Then sit down first, and I'll prepare a mango pudding for you right away."

Hearing this, Bai Hu showed an embarrassed smile.At this moment, there was another gust of wind chimes from the door, and the two turned their heads, only to see a boy in white walking in.

"Qongqi!" Before Michelle could react, Baihu called out the boy's name.

Unexpectedly, however, Qiongqi didn't act like he didn't like to talk to anyone like the last time he came here.Instead, he showed a bright smile, stepped forward and hugged Baihu and said, "I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me."

Bai Hu was obviously taken aback by his overly enthusiastic attitude, and said a little confused, "What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't do anything. It just didn't occur to me that you actually believed me and ran all the way from West Lake to here. I'm just a little moved by your IQ." He said, took a step back and let go of Baihu, and waited with a smile on his face. watching his reaction.

What he meant was obviously mocking Baihu for being too naive.It's a pity that, as a divine beast guarding Kunlun Mountain all the year round, Baihu couldn't hear his irony at all.

He smiled and said, "Of course, we are all the demon clan. I don't believe you would do anything to harm the demon clan because of those vampires."

In this kind of matter, for such a dull person, Qiongqi is like punching cotton with a fist, without any feedback at all.

So he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you this, do you know what I called you here today for?"

After he said this, Bai Hu remembered.So he put away his smile, looked at him seriously and said, "Is it about vampires?"

"Yes, it's about them. Do you know why they didn't go through formal channels for approval and enter Shenzhou?" Without beating around the bush, Qiongqi directly explained the reason for coming here, and then said: "You have guarded Kunlun for thousands of years. Years. Tell me honestly, over the years, how many times have you encountered vampires and did not come here through regular channels?"

Asked by him, Bai Hu was stunned for a while, and then said: "You said that, but I remembered it. Over the years, there are only a handful of such cases."

Under normal circumstances, Western vampires will come in through formal channels.Only a few extremely vicious people could not get the qualifications for approval in the west, so they would venture to enter from Kunlun.

But since he killed a group of vampires many years ago, few people have gone that way.He also heard from other incoming, non-human races from the West.On their side, rumors about a fierce god on Kunlun Mountain spread very widely.

Over time, among some non-human races in the West, his reputation is like that of a murderer.Regarding this point, he didn't care about it, instead he became quiet.

You know, these reputations make those vampires dare not take risks.In their hearts, if they don't want to die here, in most cases, they will be willing to go through formal procedures for approval.Even if it costs some money, it's better than sneaking in, being discovered by yourself, and losing your life in the end.

After all, no matter how important those costs are, they will not be more important than your own life.

So when Qiongqi said this, Baihu thought about it and felt that the matter was a bit strange.

He handed over to Qiongqi the list of vampires he had killed while guarding Kunlun for so many years.While explaining the identities of those vampires and the reasons for their smuggling, he said, "I haven't encountered such a large-scale vampire smuggling in for hundreds of years. Before that pair of siblings, I killed a total of twelve vampires." , and the cultivation of those vampires is not low."

His words made Qiongqi silent, and even Michelle herself was taken aback.Unlike them, Michelle has an accurate understanding of the distribution of power in the West.

What do the twelve vampires with high cultivation base represent?Represents a vampire clan, almost half of its combat power, after all, this is not the distant Middle Ages.

The vampire clan, like the monsters of the East, is slowly decreasing in number and power.Those vampires who can be called combat power have lived for at least hundreds of years.Twelve vampires with combat effectiveness are extremely important to a clan in the current environment.

It's like their demon clan has gone far away from the demon world.The blood races left the human world hundreds of years ago and went to their blood race world.

In the case of not many blood clans left in the human world, it is difficult for a clan to use so much combat power to enter Kunlun Mountain.

Or it can be said that if a clan can take out twelve vampires with good cultivation bases and go to Kunlun Mountain.They are fully capable of obtaining the application form and applying to come to the Eastern Continent through formal channels, so they don't need to make such a risky move.

So on this point, this behavior is obviously contradictory, but no matter how contradictory it is, this thing happened.

There is no need for Baihu to lie to them, so Michelle is more inclined to another possibility.

It's just that these twelve vampires are from different clans, so things make sense.

First of all, vampires from different clans are scattered in each clan. After one or two clans disappear, the vampires will not cause too much disturbance.Coupled with the check relationship between the clans, if they work for a common goal, this is a more secure way.

If formal channels are not feasible and they need to enter the Eastern Continent in an adventurous way, it has already shown that their purpose is not pure, and such a method is indeed more difficult to trace.

But what the specific goal is, no one knows.Until the identities of those vampires are figured out, it will be kept a secret.

"Do you know the identities of those vampires? What clan do they come from?" Qiongqi obviously thought of it, for the same reason as Michelle.So he asked, "Your list doesn't include the identities of the twelve vampires you just mentioned. Why? Can't you find out where they came from?"

Baihu nodded and said: "Yes, I can't find out their origins. This is the strangest thing. I have information on the thirteen vampire clans. But these twelve vampires seem to be They just popped up out of nowhere, and have nothing to do with the Thirteen Clans. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find out which clan they belonged to."

After listening to his words, Qiongqi thought for a while and said: "Then don't do useless things, since they used twelve lives to send that pair of siblings to Shenzhou, there must be their reasons Keeping an eye on these two siblings, we will be able to know what their purpose is."

After Qiongqi said these words, he said to Baihu: "I invited you here today because I want to tell you this."
