The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 461 Collateral Damage
On the other side of the gap is a lake, which is different from the previous lake in that there are many aquatic plants growing here.You know, things like aquatic plants can only live in clean water.And it's not just clean water, they need a lot of sunlight.

But here is the underground far away from the ground, clean water is still possible, but sunlight is obviously impossible.

Yang Yang didn't know how he fainted.But when he woke up, what he saw was a cave, and he was lying on a raised clearing in the middle of the cave.

Although it is underground, the entire cave is not dark.As soon as he looked up, he could see many fist-sized circular objects on the top of the cave.Those things were like small light bulbs, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire cave.

If he had time, Yang Yang really wanted to see what those things that replaced the sun were.But now, he obviously no longer has that mood.

He looked down at the swaying aquatic plants under the water, and was a little dazed. The focus now was obviously not on them, but on other things in the water.

For example, a giant snake tail.

Regarding snakes, Yang Yang has always been insensitive, and Ba snake may be the only exception.But even so, it doesn't mean he can accept other snakes.

Especially when the snake wrapped his tail around him and brought him here while he was swimming.Yang Yang felt that he didn't get violent on the spot, and using the spirit-gathering technique to fight the snake to the death was already considered an act of benevolence.

Of course, it all happened too fast.When he came back to his senses, he was already tightly entangled by the snake and couldn't move, so he couldn't care less about making a move.

Although it is better now, those green eyes are always there, and Yang Yang feels that all his actions are being watched by the other party.And I am the legendary toad who was targeted by the snake.

He swallowed, watched the snake stick its head out of the water, and then rose higher and higher, he couldn't help but took a few steps back.

However, the snake didn't seem to care about his movements, it just slowly poked its body out of the water, flapped its wings, and flew towards the thickest stalactite in the cave.

Then it wrapped around it, still looking at Yang Yang with green eyes, it looked beautiful and cold, it was also a snake, but Yang Yang couldn't see any warmth related to Ba snake on it.

The only thing they have in common is probably their flexible bodies.

Wait a minute……

At this time, Yang Yang suddenly realized what he saw!wing?A snake with wings!

The question is, how did the snake grow wings?This is impossible.Thinking of this, Yang Yang raised his head and looked at the snake not far away, making sure that it had a pair of wings behind it.

But this is obviously beyond the understanding of normal people about snakes.In an instant, Yang Yang knew that the one who dragged him into the water was definitely not some normal snake hiding deep in the cave.

He remembered the scale he picked up not long ago, and the scale still smelled uncomfortable to Dancing in the Rain.Although Dancing in the Rain seemed to be at odds with all the monsters, he had never said so directly who he hated.Especially when it's not a specific person, but a race.

A snake with wings...

Yang Yang could only think of the transformed snake he had seen in "Shan Hai Jing".

If it's a youkai, they should be able to communicate, right?

I don't know whether I should be lucky or sad, but my luck is so good that I met a monster.If you can communicate, you can reason, maybe you are a friend of an acquaintance or something.

Yang Yang, who was used to the setting of "the monsters in the world belong to one family", quickly adjusted his expression, and said in a low voice, "Are you a snake?"

However, unexpectedly, the transformed snake didn't answer him at all, and just slightly lifted its body from the stalactite.The eyes are still staring at him for a moment, as if thinking about where to eat, which will be more delicious.

Yang Yang obviously also saw its thoughts from its eyes.Encountering a yokai who doesn't want to communicate at all can be more dangerous than a natural beast.After all, the IQ of beasts is generally not high, and they can be driven away.

Yang Yang thought, if he could use the Spirit Gathering Technique, he might still have a chance of winning.But if the object is a monster...

Obviously, there is no need to think about the ending, and the odds of winning are basically impossible.

If it were Yang Yang before, he might have been so frightened that he completely lost his response.But after experiencing so many things, he also began to calm down under such circumstances.

First of all, this monster didn't treat him badly the first time it caught him, which is a very good signal.No matter what the purpose is, it's fine if the monster is not hungry for the time being, or it's fine if it's fun and wants to stay for a while.

Even if the monster is tired and wants to take action after waking up, it's not a problem, at least he is still alive.As long as there is life, there is hope.

He believes that no matter how careful the snake is, Yuan Mu and the others will find out after a while if they don't realize it for a while.Based on his understanding of several people, once he realizes that he is missing, he will definitely try his best to rescue them.

The current situation is that I was entangled by a snake and lost consciousness for a period of time.Therefore, he didn't know how long he had been taken away and where he had gone.

But no matter what the situation is, what he has to do now is to delay the time.He believed that Yuan Mu and the others would definitely find this place.

So Yang Yang swallowed, and said again: "I know you are a snake, I have seen you in books. But why don't you go to the demon world?"

Knowing that the other party doesn't want to pay attention to me, but insisting on chatting, this is very annoying behavior.If possible, Yang Yang would not want to do such a thing.But compared to these, one's own life is obviously more important.

Even knowing that this might annoy the snake, Yang Yang could only bite the bullet.However, he was still very careful and found a more interesting topic to talk about.

After all, the purpose of his chat is to delay time, and he can't just kill himself if he is unhappy.

Seemingly very interested in his words, the snake blinked and slowly slid down from the stalactite.Then fell into the water and turned into a man in white clothes.

The man has green eyes, and there is a red birthmark on the corner of his right eye, as if painted with red eye shadow, which makes him look very coquettish.

When the monsters take shape, they always conform to the aesthetics of human beings strangely.Even if Yang Yang is in danger, he has to admit that the man in front of him looks very beautiful.

The man stood on the water, looked at the human being lying on the stone for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then walked slowly.He wanted to see what was different about this human being captured from under the noses of Ying Long and Bai Ze.

Yang Yang looked at that monster wading through the water stupidly, like a fairy under the moonlight.He stood there in a daze, dumbfounded.

Actually speaking, immortals and monsters are the same kind of people, and these are just the wishful thinking of human beings.There may be an essential difference between killing and doing good for human beings.But in the hearts of monsters and ascetics, it is nothing more than the difference between Tao and Tao.

As long as you follow your heart, you are right.

This is what Yuan Mu once said to himself, and Yang Yang never realized this more clearly than at this time.

No matter how you look at it, this snake is not a fairy in the minds of human beings.But Yang Yang understands that there is no difference between him and Yuan Mu, they are both monsters.

They feel that humans are like ants, and they don't think there is anything wrong with hurting humans.But just like Yuan Mu likes to stay in the crowd and send friendship and help to some human beings, this snake who lives underground doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he does.

In other words, apart from humans like them, monsters do not simply use good and evil to distinguish their own kind.

When I saw Qiongqi, he was just a boy in a white T-shirt.Even if it becomes a prototype, it is still a cat with wings.

Yang Yang has never felt so threatened by a monster before.If it was before, Yang Yang might have accepted the idea that "people who are not of my race must have different hearts".

But now, even under such circumstances, he can still think for them and understand them.After all, monsters don't hurt humans on purpose.It may be simply because of the differences in thinking between different races.

Just like human beings, a few ants will not be trampled to death due to careless walking.Just like apologizing to the ants and chickens after killing a few chickens when they were hungry, the monsters just did what they wanted to do.

And humans are nothing more than what is called “collateral damage.”Humans have always overestimated themselves.There has never been any race that is targeting human beings, everything is just their own imagination.

Finally, when the man in white finally stepped onto the shore, he spoke.

The man squatted down slowly, looked at Yang Yang with those special eyes, and asked, "Are you Yang Yang?"

"I... I am." I don't know why, under the gaze of those eyes, Yang Yang felt that he couldn't tell any lies.

"That's good. If that's the case, come with me." Seemingly satisfied with his answer, the man stood up and said with a smile.
