The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 692 Huge River
"Hey, I heard that you have customers here?" On the counter of the restaurant, a person leaned on it and said to the waiter inside.

"Yes, I came here yesterday." Xiao Er raised his head from above the counter to look at this person, then lowered his head to go about his own business.

This person is none other than the owner of the shop selling beast crystals across the street.

The so-called beast crystal is the core of monsters, just like the inner alchemy of monsters, it is a very important existence.

Beast crystals always contain a lot of spiritual power, and they have always been the material used by monsters to cultivate and make magic weapons.

But because this kind of thing hurts the peace, if there are other choices, few monsters will choose this method.

But no matter what, this kind of beast crystal merchant has always existed.

But with the tyranny of the aura, some monsters slowly degenerated into monsters, and such businessmen began to become unpopular.

After all, there is still an essential difference between monsters and monsters, just like if human beings sell mutton and pork, they will not be despised by others, but if one day, some people slowly degenerate into monkeys, and some people buy monkeys If you are meat, you will definitely encounter sideways glances from people around you.

Although this profession has always existed, it still makes Xiao Er a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, this store has existed since he was a child, but for so many years, from the time when Xuanwu City was in its heyday to the current state of decline, he has never seen any customers in the opposite store.

However, the shop owner has guarded Xuanwu City for hundreds of years, and even after many native monsters left, he still stayed.

"Don't be like this, tell me, what kind of person are you?" Seeing that Xiaoer didn't seem very interested, the owner of the beast crystal shop continued: "We haven't had outsiders come here for many years. Ah! What are they doing here? Aren't you curious?"

Seemingly disturbed, the waiter finally raised his head from the ledger, looked at him and said, "Uncle Mu, I don't know about these things! The boss doesn't let us ask about the guests, and they have already left. "

"Leaving?" Unexpectedly hearing such a sentence, the owner of the Beast Crystal Store opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked, "Where did you go?!"

I didn't expect him to have such a big reaction. The waiter was taken aback by him, and then said: "How do I know? The customers left after paying the bill. I'm not the owner of the city. Can I still care where they go? Really. ..."

What's the matter? Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the owner of the Beast Crystal Shop, because obviously the latter didn't want to listen to his complaints, and turned his head immediately after learning that the group that checked in yesterday had already left. left the restaurant.

"Crazy!" After he left, the waiter spat viciously at the empty doorway.

But these, the owner of the Beast Crystal Shop could not hear it anymore, after he left the restaurant, he immediately went to the gate of the city.

A long time ago, Xuanwu City had four gates, but with its decline, now only one gate is left for entry and exit.

And the monster guarding the gate has also changed from a strong young man at the beginning to an old monster who looks like a pushover now.

"The group of people who entered the city yesterday, did they go out today?" When they came to the gate of the city, the beast crystal merchant did not put on his usual smile, but asked with a serious face.

The old monster who guards the gate has lived for many years, and has been alive since the human world.

He has seen a lot of things, so he is much more stable than the waiter in the shop, and he is also very familiar with Xuanwu City, so he naturally knows this beast crystal merchant who is always smiling no matter who he is.

Although the guard felt strange about his dignified expression today, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, after thinking about it, he replied, "Are you talking about a man and a woman with a child?"

Hearing his words, the beast crystal merchant cursed silently in his heart, thinking, besides them, was there anyone else who came to Xuanwu City yesterday?

But he still had to put on a friendly face, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it is them. Think about it, have they left the city? Which direction are they going?"

Saying so, the beast crystal merchant slightly supported the guard with his hand, and a spirit stone was stuffed into the old guard's hand without anyone noticing it.

When the guard touched the spirit stone, his speaking speed obviously increased, and he immediately said: "I have some impressions of this, they have just walked for less than an hour, and I heard what they said, they should be heading north. "

"North?" After hearing what the guard said, the Beast Crystal Merchant repeated his words, and then thought about it.

"Yes, to the north." The guard replied, tightening the spirit stone into his pocket, and said as he put it back: "You said, I'm also quite puzzled, what are they going to that place for? ? Let me tell you, the north is not peaceful now, and the Xuanwu tribe is making trouble for some reason, and they may encounter something on the way when they pass by!"

"However, these young monsters don't know what to think. I didn't listen to my persuasion. They insisted on leaving without telling me. They even asked me the general direction of the Xuanwu clan's settlement. The question is how do I know... "

"Then how did you answer?" During the period of time when he kept complaining, the beast crystal merchant finally came back to his senses, and he looked at the old man and asked.

"How can I answer, just repeat what I heard from the passing merchants." The guard said so, glanced at the beast crystal merchant and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Mu today? Why is it so? Are you concerned about these passers-by?"

"No..." Beast Crystal Merchant was asked this way, waved his hands and said, "I just think they are quite young, you know, in the entire demon world, there are fewer and fewer young monsters, and all of them are left behind." It’s those of us who are old and immortal, what can we do in the future.”

"Hey." The guard smiled when he heard him say this: "What can we do? We can't worry about what to do. Anyway, I don't have much time to live. As for what to do in the future... who knows What about it? Master Mu, don't worry too much, I think those two young people are very handsome, they should be auspicious stars."

"I hope so." The animal crystal merchant surnamed Mu sighed after hearing his last words, and responded in a low voice.

At this time, Yang Yang and his party had already left the boundary of Xuanwu City and headed towards the forest further north. According to the news they inquired from the old guard, and Yang Yang was chatting with Chacha Zhouliang and the others before. According to the information I learned from the website, there must be a source of water near the settlement of the Xuanwu clan.

Because Xuanwu is a turtle and snake, and it will only fit when it grows halfway, and no matter what species it is, it cannot be separated from water. The old guard also said that according to those businessmen, the settlement of Xuanwu is in a On the huge island in the middle of the lake.

"Beyond that is the mountain." Sitting on Qingyi's back, Lanyue looked forward and said, "There shouldn't be any big lakes in this forest. Let's keep going and fly over that mountain to have a look."

After Qingyi heard her words, she flapped her wings, and then quickly flew over the forest towards the mountain peak.

As you go north, the climate becomes colder, and the aura at high altitudes is more violent than at low altitudes.

Although it was not as dangerous as when he left Wutong Palace, Yang Yang would silently cast spells on Qingyi's back when he was resting well, to separate Qingyi from the violent aura nearby, so that the flight could be more stable.

"I think we should be able to see it after turning over that mountain." Lan Yue looked ahead and whispered, "Since they said that it is a huge island in the middle of the lake, we can still see it no matter how far away it is. of."

However, after they flew over the mountain range, they were still greeted by an endless forest. Faced with such a gap, Lan Yue felt a little lost, but Qingyi and Yang Yang knew that it was not far from Xuanwu City.

If the settlement of the Xuanwu tribe was so close to the town, they would be found soon, and they would not be so mysterious.So the two did not give up, but continued on their way.

In the following days, they returned to the previous style of eating and sleeping in the open, but as time passed, the emotions of the few people became more and more anxious. Even several times, Qingyi wondered if they were going in the wrong direction.

On this day, they continued to move forward according to the previous plan, but the momentum of the whole team seemed very low, especially Qingyi, she hadn't spoken for a long time, even if Lanyue tried her best to make her happy, it didn't matter much Effect.

After walking like this for a long time, in the afternoon, Lanyue suddenly screamed, pointed to a place in the distance ahead and said, "Guangguang...there is water over there! There is water!"
