The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 521
This is the first time Yang Yang sees Hong Yuan showing such an expression. In his heart, Hong Yuan has always been very feminine.To put it in a more literary way, her frown and smile are full of charm. When you see her, you will know why so many human beings have been hooked up by monsters throughout the ages, and you will also understand why there are always men who like to be with your beloved. The woman said you are a naughty little goblin.

But now, it was the first time he faced Hong Yuan like this, her slightly narrowed eyes no longer had the rippling smile of the past, but gathered a frightening storm, Yang Yang swallowed nervously Drooling, raised his head, and saw Ning Yuan looking at Hong Yuan and saying, "Peacock?! Peacock demon?"

What should the peacock turn into a monster look like?Regarding this point, Yang Yang once had a discussion with Ning Yuan. He remembered that he had thought about it at that time, and reported the name of a popular little fresh meat in the entertainment industry, and then said: "If it is a peacock demon, it should be like him. Gotta show off."

After hearing his words at that time, Ning Yuan laughed wildly. He said: "Indeed, after all, as far as peacocks are concerned, the male ones are the best-looking ones, and the female ones are really not good-looking at all."

"It's not peacocks either. Almost all birds are like this. The same goes for mandarin ducks. The male mandarin ducks are colorful and their feathers look very beautiful. Compared with them, the female mandarin ducks are like wild ducks. My first choice." The first time I saw it, I couldn’t believe it was a mandarin duck.” Yang Yang recalled his experience in the park when he was a child, and couldn’t help complaining: “It feels like we were all deceived by the mandarin ducks in those paintings when we were young.”

"Haha..." Hearing his complaints, Ning Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Later, they spread out on this topic, and then felt that a bird as beautiful as a phoenix must be a male. After all, it has always been said in legends that the feathers of a phoenix are very beautiful. All good-looking birds should be male.

But now, a peacock popped out of Hong Yuan's mouth, and Yang Yang naturally remembered what he said to Ning Yuan that day, and he also naturally remembered the face of that popular little fresh meat, as long as he thought of a monster with such a face , Yang Yang couldn't help shivering, it was simply too terrifying.

"It's not a peacock demon, it's a peacock." Yuan Mu corrected the two of them and said, "It's a peacock."

"It's the peacock...?" Yang Yang said that he didn't understand at all. He knew every word he said, but when he connected it, he didn't know what he wanted to express at all.Not only Yang Yang, even Ning Yuan was a little confused this time.

According to Hong Yuan and Yuan Mu, this monster is not a peacock monster, but its name is Peacock?

Ning Yuan thought about this, and said his thoughts again, but he didn't expect to guess right when he hit the right track.

"Actually, to be more precise, not only is his name called Peacock, but he is also a peacock." After listening to Ning Yuan's words, Yuan Mu corrected him: "The phoenix laid two eggs, one was a peacock, and the other was a peacock. It is the golden-winged roc, which feeds on dragons. And the peacock that Hong Yuan mentioned is the egg of the phoenix."

"..." After listening to his words, Yang Yang felt that his worldview collapsed in an instant. Shouldn't the little phoenix hatch out of the phoenix's egg?Why is it a peacock?What about reproductive isolation?What about genetic inheritance?This can't even be explained by genetic mutations, right?

As if hearing the sound of his worldview shattering again, Yang Yang turned his head in a daze, looked at Ning Yuan, trying to see the same struggle as himself in his eyes, but he didn't expect that for this completely contrary to normal human beings. Ning Yuan's acceptance of the Three Views was actually very high. He almost didn't even struggle, so he accepted this fact.

What hatched from the phoenix egg turned out to be a peacock.

Yang Yang recited this sentence silently in his heart, then turned his head to look at Yuan Mu and asked, "Are you sure that Phoenix's egg is not wrong? Could it be replaced by someone secretly?" Don't blame him for being too imaginative. Compared to the fact that a peacock would hatch out of a phoenix egg, he felt that it was acceptable to be mistaken for an egg.

After all, Yang Yang felt that his world view could still be saved.

"A monster that can get close to Phoenix and replace his eggs when he is hatching..." Yuan Mu smiled and said after hearing his words: "As far as I know, they don't exist yet."

Although Yang Yang still has countless reasonable explanations about this matter in his heart, since Yuan Mu has said so, he feels that it is meaningless for him to struggle any longer, so he holds in his heart that he has broken into pieces. After seeing the scumbag worldview, he asked, "So, he is the second egg of the phoenix, he eats people, and then what?"

Why is Hong Yuan so angry?The murderous intent in those eyes could not be concealed.

"Has he ever offended Hong Yuan?" Thinking of Hong Yuan's eyes, Yang Yang thought for a while and chose the most likely answer.

"No, the peacock once saved my life." It was Hong Yuan who answered him with a normal voice. Although her expression still carried a little murderous intent, compared to the previous expression that wanted to kill someone, it was already gone. Much better.

ah?saved your life?Saved your life and now you want to kill him? !Yang Yang couldn't react, judging by Hong Yuan's usual appearance, she wasn't crazy!How did that happen?Isn't this repaying kindness with hatred?
However, before he had time to ask, Hong Yuan continued to say: "If he is really a peacock, of course I will not do anything to him, not only will I not do anything, I will treat him as a guest, but The problem is, he can't be a peacock."

As soon as she said that, Yang Yang understood instantly.

It turned out that it wasn't Peacock that made Hong Yuan burst out with killing intent, it was just a name, just a person who used the name of Peacock to bluff.

With a character like Hong Yuan who can distinguish between love and hate, she must be grateful for the fact that Peacock once saved her. If this is the case, it is even more intolerable for someone to use his name and pretend to be cheated by him, because this is very important to Hong Yuan. For the kite, and for the peacock who had saved her, it was a kind of blasphemy.

He could attack Hong Yuan, but he couldn't hurt Peacock's reputation.

For those she cares about, Hong Yuan has always been so defensive.Yang Yang is very clear about this point from his daily interactions with each other.Seeing Hong Yuan's furious look, he couldn't help but want to light a candle for the person pretending to be a peacock.

Who told you to impersonate who is not good, you have to pretend to be someone Hong Yuan cares about?
It's just asking for death!
"But, how do you know that the peacock is fake?" What if it is real?Isn't that a joke?Yang Yang originally wanted to say the next two sentences, but after meeting Hong Yuan's eyes, he swallowed the latter words very wittyly, the so-called tiger's butt can't be touched, he is not that stupid, he insisted on talking to Hong Yuan was arguing over who was right and who was wrong. Anyway, she was not the one who was unlucky, and besides, she was not her opponent. It would be better to be as quiet as a chicken. Don't make any sense of presence in this matter.

"That's because all the bird tribes have followed their king to the demon world." Yuan Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw Yang Yang's cowardice, and he explained while laughing: "Except for the few bird tribes who are still here , the other bird races have already left. After all, unlike other races, for them, the phoenix is ​​their king and their belief."

"My king is everything I'm waiting for." At this time, Hong Yuan spoke, and she took over Yuan Mu's words and continued: "You must have heard of the word "hundred birds facing the phoenix, right? For us, It’s what has to be done.”

"Just like fish are born to swim and birds are born to fly, for us, our king is everything to us, we respect him, follow him, and for him, we can sacrifice everything we have. "Hong Yuan said, showing a somewhat sad expression: "At the beginning when my family migrated, I was delayed for a few days because of some things, and when it was finally time to leave, I had no chance anymore."

Yang Yang knew that what Hong Yuan was talking about was that the passage between the two worlds was shaken, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire passage, making it impossible for the world and the demon world to communicate.He just wanted to say something to comfort Hong Yuan when he heard her continue: "Master Peacock, as the son of my king, will naturally be by my king's side forever. I remember when they moved to the demon world, it was I delivered it myself."

She said, raised her head, looked at Yang Yang and said word by word: "I watched my king and Lord Peacock enter the passage with my own eyes!"

Therefore, the peacock must be in the demon world at this time.

Well, since the real peacock is now in the demon world, the so-called "peacock" that appeared in the black sun and claimed to have the fire spirit and the immortal tree must be a fake.

Straightening out this train of thought, Yang Yang instantly understood Hong Yuan's mood.

"No..." At this moment, Ning Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He raised his head and looked at several people and said, "According to what Hong Yuan said, there is only one peacock in this world. There are peacock feathers, right?"

"But, do you still remember? Lu Ax once said that when he went to participate in the Fenghuang feather auction, did he see anything?" He continued, "Lu Fu said that what he saw at that time were the feathers of a peacock."

"Since there is only one peacock in this world, and since that peacock should be in the demon world at this time, then..." Ning Yuan said, raised his head and looked at everyone, and asked: "The peacock feathers that Lu Ax saw Where did it come from?"
