The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 690 Xuanwu City

Contrary to Yang Yang's imagination, Qingyi who woke up the next morning did not show any strong reaction to the existence of the black beast.

She basically ignored the existence of the black beast the whole time.

On the other hand, the evil beast started to curry favor with Qingyi as if it had suddenly changed its temper.

Faced with the situation of the two of them, Yang Yang felt a little headache, but he didn't know from which aspect to persuade them, so he could only choose to remain silent in the end.

In such an awkward atmosphere, the three of them had breakfast and were ready to go on the road.

Still according to the previous arrangement, Qingyi became the prototype, and took Yang Yang and the black beast that had become the prototype on the way.

When he was about to set off, the black beast suddenly said: "I know that you don't believe me because of the fact that I ran away, but I swear that I really don't have any purpose, I just don't trust you."

After saying this, the chatty beast never said a word again until they rushed to another place to start camping at night. She took the initiative to find firewood and left the camp. .

"Do you think I'm going too far?" Yang Yang and Qingyi didn't talk for a long time after the beast left.

Yang Yang could tell that Qingyi was not in a good mood. At this moment, he really had no intention of making trouble, so he quietly went about his own business.

"No, I also think it's not a good choice for her to follow us." Yang Yang thought for a while and replied.

Even if he didn't understand at first, Yang Yang understood at this moment.

The reason why Qingyi sneered at the black beast was because she didn't want to go on the road with the black beast.

Many things have not been confirmed during their visit. If there are only two people, it will be fine, but if there is an evil beast added, things will become much more complicated.

It's not that they dislike her, but that the black beast really has no way to protect herself in many cases, and they still need to use their minds to protect her when the time comes.This is very detrimental to what to do next.

"It's not that I dislike her." Qingyi heard the meaning behind Yang Yang's words, and said in a low voice: "We are not able to take care of her now, this is one aspect, and no one can clearly explain what we will encounter along the way. I don't think the man in black we saw that day would not be so easygoing, if they hunted us down..."

At that time, how can they protect the black beast?
"If she is with us, she will be in many dangers, so I let her go at the beginning."

Seeing that Yang Yang didn't speak, Qingyi continued: "Compared to going to the northern border with us to find Xuanwu and His Highness's old department, she is more suitable to be a carefree beast in Yeyu City. Tell a little lie to deceive people, if everything goes well, I may go to see her when we go back and pass through Yeyu City."

As soon as Qingyi finished speaking, she heard the sound of something falling from behind her.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Lan Yue in human form standing behind her holding a pile of wood, her eyes were red and tears were shining.

Before the two of them could react, they saw Lan Yue throwing away the firewood in her hands, and plunged into Qingyi's arms: "Wow! I knew it! I knew you didn't hate me! Wow!"

Faced with this sudden hug, Qingyi seemed a little at a loss.

And Yang Yang looked at such a picture, not only why he felt a little embarrassed, as if he was a superfluous existence now.

He sighed helplessly, then walked forward to pick up the firewood thrown by Lanyue on the ground, preparing to light a fire.

"Lan Yue...don't be like this." Qingyi watched Yang Yang's movements, and finally came back to her senses and said, "Let go of me first, and talk about what you have to do."

"I knew you didn't hate me anymore. Since I left the clan, no one has treated me so well. You are the best people to me. I will follow you obediently."

Hearing her words, Lanyue let go of the hand holding her, stepped back and wiped the tears on her face, and said with a bright smile: "Don't worry! Although I'm not such a powerful big monster, But I will be obedient, I won't cause trouble for you, and I don't need your protection when I am in danger, I have my own method."

After she said that, and heard the conversation between the two clearly, Qingyi knew that it was useless to say anything else.

He could only sigh, and then said in a low voice: "That's fine, you just follow us, but let me tell you the matter first, stay with us, you have to protect yourself, don't make claims on things, wait When we go back to Yeyu City, we will take you back with us."

"it is good!"

"You two take a look at the fire, I'll go find something to eat." Seeing that the two seemed to be less excited at last, Yang Yang said.

In the evening, after eating the grilled fish, the group resumed the previous pattern in Shanxinlin. Yang Yang kept watch at night, Qing Yi and the beast slept. During the day, Qing Yi turned into a green luan and drove on the road, while Yang Yang slept on her back.

The three of them drove the road for four days, and finally came to a small town.

This town is called Xuanwu City, and it is the nearest town to the settlement of Xuanwu.

Xuanwu has a long lifespan and doesn't like to leave his hometown, but with the development of the race, there are always some things that need to be purchased from outside, so this town was quietly established.

When it was the most prosperous, countless goods came from the south every day, and those monsters who liked to do business would collect some things that the Xuanwu people needed from other places and sell them here.

At the same time, we will also choose things unique to the northern border to sell in other places.

"Are you sure it's this place?" Listening to Qingyi's words, Lan Yue questioned the dusty town in front of her.

She has been to many places, not to mention Yeyu City, the number one town in the north, she has also been to many small towns and settlements, but no matter which one looks better than the one in front of her.

Not to mention its dusty appearance and the city wall that looks like it will collapse at any time, just say that the people at its gate look either old, weak or sick, which is very different from the town Qingyi mentioned that has countless merchants and motorcades difference.

"But that happened 100 years ago." Qingyi looked at the town in front of her, with the "Xuanwu City" sign on the gate covered by dust, and said in a low voice: "As the spiritual power becomes more and more violent, walking The monsters on the road gradually lost their traces, most of them huddled in their own cities or settlements, and never appeared. Even if you appeared, it was a very small trade. , from the caravan that fell from east to west, never to be seen again."

Although the prototype of Lanyue looks very young, it is not just a hundred years old. Hearing Qingyi say this seemed to bring back her memories, and she lowered her head and said: "Yes, I remember that when I was young, I saw treasures from Dongfang Zeguo at home, but after so many years, even if I left home, I never saw shark beads and those things in other places again."

"Another point is that with the tyranny of spiritual power, the Xuanwu people are less and less appearing. This place was originally created by the Xuanwu clan. Now that they are unwilling to show up, they will naturally decline." Qingyi listened After her words, continue to speak.

"Hey..." Lanyue sighed when she heard this, then turned her head and glanced at the city gate and said, "Forget it, it's really useless to say so much, we might as well enter the city quickly, first Find a place to sleep and think about what's next."

What Lanyue said is right, they can't restore the prosperity of Xuanwu City when they discuss it here, they might as well advance to the city and make plans, and they can't sleep in the wilderness tonight.

After entering the city, the group quickly found a restaurant to stay overnight.

Although it is not as good as the restaurant in Yeyu City, it is not bad in Xuanwu City.

It was obvious that there had been no guests here for a long time. After they moved in, the owner of the restaurant made a special appearance once to ask them what they needed, and several people declined immediately upon seeing this.

In this way, the three of them stayed in Xuanwu City.

The next thing is to start looking for the old peacocks. Qingyi only knew that they were active in the northern region.

But along the way, they didn't meet anyone, or heard any news or clues.

Qingyi originally thought that if these people were active in the northern border, they would deal with the Xuanwu clan to some extent. Even if she couldn't find those people, as long as she met a person from the Xuanwu clan, all of this would have a chance.

But after coming to Xuanwu City, she realized that she was wrong, and she was wrong too much.

In the entire Xuanwu City, half of the houses have been abandoned. It is unknown where those residents went, but it is obvious that no Xuanwu people have appeared in this place for a long time.

But things have reached this point, and she has no way out, so she can only continue to search further north tomorrow. Since the Xuanwu people do not appear in Xuanwu City, she can only go to the settlement of the Xuanwu clan.

Hope to find some clues there.

If you can't find any clues, at least tell them about Shan Xinlin, no matter what the origin of that blue luan bird is, no matter what he is plotting, always make Xuanwu and other groups get ready.

Thinking so, Qingyi closed her eyes in the darkness.
