The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 453 Mirage
That sentence made Yang Yang feel that something exploded in his mind.He looked up, looked around blankly, and saw it.At some point, Yuan Mu and the others surrounded him, looking at him worriedly.

Above the head, the blue-green fireball was still burning tirelessly. Yang Yang opened his mouth, and suddenly found that one of his feet had stepped out of the path.

This discovery made him turn pale with fright.

"Fuck! What are you doing!" Just as he was struggling to retreat, he was caught by a hand.

It was none other than Dancing in the Rain who caught him.

Dancing in the Rain, who looked like a teenager, grabbed him and pulled him in from the edge of the cliff without any pause.Then he looked at him with an unkind expression, and shouted, "Don't move!"

When he roared like this, Yang Yang didn't dare to move at all, and his whole body was stuck there as hard as wood.It was only when Dancing in the Rain pulled him to the edge of the stone wall that he slowly let out the breath from his mouth.

Seeing his terrified appearance, Yuan Mu and the others couldn't continue to say anything.Ning Yuan saw it, handed over something from the side, and said, "Chocolate, eat some."

Before Yang Yang recovered from the shock, he numbly took the chocolate in Ning Yuan's hand and took a bite, the bitter and sweet taste filled his mouth in an instant.Seeing that he reacted slightly, Yuan Mu asked, "What did you see just now?"

When he asked this question, Yang Yang came back to his senses completely.He raised his head, looked around, and found that there was a trace of moisture on everyone's body, as if they had just returned from some dewy place.

Noticing his gaze, Ning Yuan said, "Just now, the witch stopped suddenly and told us that there is no road ahead. Everyone was discussing what to do, and suddenly it became foggy. As soon as we turned around, we saw you say no." You walked towards the edge of the cliff without a word, no matter how you called, you didn’t respond, it scared us to death.”

"That's not fog." At this time, the witch said coldly, "That's mirage."

"What is that?" Ning Yuan asked curiously, having never heard of this thing before.

"Fog is the natural transformation of water vapor between heaven and earth. Except for man-made influences on it, the naturally formed fog is basically harmless. But mirage is different. It is the resentment emitted by monsters after they die." Yuan Wood explained.

After finishing speaking, several people looked at Yang Yang worriedly.After feeling their eyes, the latter swallowed the chocolate in his mouth, and said: "I just saw that you all disappeared, and then there was fog. Before I realized what happened, the fireball above my head also disappeared. Disappeared, and the surroundings were pitch black. Then I heard a loud sound of water, and then I heard you calling me."

Yang Yang roughly told several people what he had just seen.Yu Zhongwu stroked her chin, and said, "The word mirage is from worms to dragons, it's not the resentment that ordinary monsters will emit when they die."

"Dragon?" After Yang Yang listened to his words, he still didn't react immediately.Asked: "Where is the dragon?"

"The word chen means dragon. The ancients believed that the dragon is the most noble animal in the world, and it should not be talked about every day as a taboo. So the word chen is used instead. You see, the twelve hours correspond to the twelve zodiac animals, and the word chen corresponds to the zodiac. It's the dragon." Hearing his question, Ning Yuan explained.

Because of the monster inner alchemy in his body, Ning Yuan has put a lot of effort into these ancient books and legends, and it's true that he doesn't care about it at all. Yang Yang can compare in this regard.

When he said this, Yang Yang understood, he nodded, and said with some doubts: "You mean... there is a dead dragon inside?"

As he said this, he glanced at Rain Dance's face.

When it comes to dragons, don't you have to look at the ancestor of the dragon clan?I didn't expect to say that people of mixed race would want to jump up and dance in the rain. After hearing these words, they didn't even lift their eyelids.He just sneered and said, "It's not a dragon."

"It's not a dragon? What is that?" Yang Yang blurted out without thinking about it.After asking, I found that all the people looked at him with self-seeking eyes, swallowed, and Yang Yang added in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

This is what Yang Yang wants to know the most at the moment.He didn't understand, since it wasn't a dragon, why the rain dance's face was so scary.

"Have you heard of snake transformation?" Yu Zhongwu looked at Yang Yang and asked with a smile.

He was obviously smiling, but Yang Yang always felt very scary.His intuition told him that it was best to answer Dancing in the Rain's questions honestly. His actions for so long had taught him not to go against his intuition.

So he shook his head and said, "No... I haven't heard of it."

It was too nervous, Yang Yang's voice not only stuttered, but also trembled a little.He glanced at Yuan Mu with some fear, and felt that there was something wrong with Wu Zhongwu in front of him, as if he was hiding some huge anger.

"Snake Transformation is a giant snake with wings. Strictly speaking, he does not belong to the dragon family. But it is our branch. He rarely speaks, and when he speaks, it will attract floods."

Wu Zhongwu also felt Yang Yang's nervousness, and he let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was meaningless for him to scare a mortal like this all the time.He softened his tone and explained slowly: "The mirage here should be emitted by him."

"Then...he's dead?" Yang Yang asked in a low voice, remembering Yuan Mu's explanation before.

"I don't feel the aura of death." Who knew that Yu Zhongwu shook her head, and said with some doubts: "Our dragon clan is very sensitive to the aura of the same kind. If there is something, I won't be unable to feel it."

"There is another possibility, that the breath of the earth veins dilutes the breath of death." Yuan Mu said at this time, but his eyes did not look at Yu Zhongwu, but at the witch descendants: "Earth veins are responsible for life, and Huangquan is responsible for death. Since this is the way to go to the earth veins, it will definitely dilute the dead energy. This is not surprising."

Hearing what he said, everyone reacted.That's right, they are now on their way to the earth veins. Since Yuan Mu said that the earth veins govern life, they must be opposed to death.If this is the case, it is understandable that the death energy is diluted.

"Of course, this is just my own opinion. It mainly depends on the meaning of the mountain god." Just as they figured out the last question, they saw Yuan Mu speak again. He looked at Wu Yi and asked word by word. : "Why, there is a mirage here?"

Yang Yang blinked, but before he understood the meaning of his words, he heard Yuan Mu's voice ringing in his ears again: "Is this really the way to the earth veins?"

His voice wasn't too loud, but in this dark underground, it spread far away with the sound of water.When Yang Yang heard these words, cold sweat immediately flowed down his neck.

He thought of the strange things he encountered in the tunnel before, and the centipede chasing him.I thought again of the hallucinations I had seen about the strange expressions on the faces of my companions.In addition to the weird dream I had after walking on the cliff trail, and the mirage just now.

According to Ning Yuan, if it wasn't for Yuan Mu's roar at that time, and Wu Zhongwu caught him in time.It's really hard to say where I am now!

Could it be...Yang Yang glanced at Wu Yi, and thought to himself: Could it be that Wu Yi really led the wrong way?Even if he led the wrong way, Yuan Mu shouldn't have reacted in that way.Yuan Mu's questioning seems to imply that the Malays not only led the wrong way, but also deliberately led the wrong way.

But will it be so?

"Heh." Just when Yang Yang's mind was still in a mess, thinking about whether there was any problem with the Wuyi, the Wuyi who was named sneered: "You mean, do you doubt me?"

The witch descendant, since he brought the witch tribe back into hiding, can be regarded as the overlord of one side.Coupled with the innate pride of the Wu people, as the mountain god of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he never needs it, and he doesn't bother to cover up anything.

Hearing what Yuan Mu said, he was naturally angry: "Since you doubt it, you can leave. I will never stop you."

Seeing his expression, Yuan Mu narrowed his eyes, and said after a while, "You have never doubted why Phoenix would entrust you with dreams? Or, if Phoenix entrusted you with dreams, did you really want to?" You look at the leylines."

His words made Wu Yi stunned for a moment, and then slowly said: "Why did he lie to me?"

"You can only ask him after you go back." Yuan Mu said, looking up at the surrounding rock walls, and then said: "Although the leylines must be deep in the ground, from the hallucinations we had before. Look, this is definitely not the correct entrance to the leylines. Or rather, it's not there anymore."

His words changed the face of the Malay, and he didn't speak for a long time.On the other hand, Ning Yuan, after hearing this sentence, continued: "I also find it strange that what happened along the way is too weird. Not to mention the leylines, I think the expedition is nothing more than that. But shouldn't the leylines be full of The breath of life? Why, your spiritual power will be sealed?"

"This is only one aspect. The biggest problem is the mirage." After going around, Yuan Mu came back to the question again: "Even if there is no such thing as evil and goodness in our monster race, it's just that your human race is so divided. But in the end There is still the saying of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and the reincarnation of heaven naturally has its laws. Earth veins govern life, and logically speaking, neither mirages nor hallucinations should exist. You should be the most clear about this point."

"Yes." Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Wu Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, these things should not exist in the leylines. But don't forget, what Phoenix brought me is the leylines." Something went wrong..."

"What do you suspect?" Yuan Mu's expression changed when he heard this, and he interrupted him.
