The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 699 Xuanwu Patriarch
His answer was silence.

A huge snake head protruded from the pool, ignoring Lan Yue's screams.

Slowly stretched out in front of the two, the forked letter spit out and retracted quickly, as if detecting the foreign smell in the air.

It is matched with huge scales. Yang Yang has only seen one such big snake, and it is the Ba snake.

But compared with Mr. Ba Snake, the big snake in front of him doesn't have such a gentle feeling at all, but is more majestic.

It may be because his color is black, which always makes people feel very depressing.

"Hiss... hiss..." She Xinzi trembled in the air, and the sound made one's scalp tingle.

But Yang Yang still stood firmly behind Lan Yue, holding her tightly with his hands.

Yang Yang kept telling himself in his heart that this is the place of the Xuanwu clan, and they said among themselves that they came to see the patriarch, and the Xuanwu clan is all a turtle and snake, so this must be a Xuanwu clan.

As one of the Four Great Sacred Beasts, Xuanwu doesn't like to kill, so there is no need to be afraid at all.

But even though he said that, when the snake's letter swept across Yang Yang's face, he still felt that he was about to suffocate.

"You are... Qilin?" Just when Yang Yang felt that he would roll his eyes and faint on the spot in a second, a voice rang in his ear.

Yang Yang subconsciously turned his head to look, but he didn't see anything.

"Don't be nervous, little guy, I'm using spiritual power to communicate with you now." As the voice said, the big snake slowly retracted its head, and then slowly disappeared into the middle of the pool.

After a while, the sound of water breaking came from the pool, and an old man with white hair appeared on the water.

He is dressed in white robes and holds a cane in his left hand that is about his height.

On the top of the cane is a large aqua blue gemstone.

Yang Yang looked at the water-blue gemstone, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was.

The old man noticed Yang Yang's gaze, but he didn't care. He just waded slowly from the water and walked in front of the two.

"You guys, are those two little guys from the human world that Wu Hao told me about?"

At this time, Yang Yang had completely confirmed the identity of the old man, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. I'm from the human world."

"Oh...how is it going there now?" The old man didn't show much excitement after hearing his words.

He just nodded and looked at the palace gate behind Yang Yang, as if looking through the palace gate to a more distant past, he asked in a low voice, "Are all my old friends okay?"

Yang Yang knew that the age of monsters could never be determined based on their human appearance, just like the old monsters he knew, one or two were youthful and beautiful, but they were actually tens of thousands of years old.

Speaking of which, this old man may be the only one among all the monsters he knows whose age can be seen from the human form.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang thought for a while and said: "Bai Ze and Ying Long should not have changed much, Bai Hu still likes to stay on Kunlun, Qiong Qi... Qiong Qi has changed a bit, not as escaped as before."

"Then you still don't understand him. If he doesn't escape, he won't be poor." After hearing his answer, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Yinglong is still like that, right? Everyone should catch up and learn from each other." ?”

"That's not true..." Yang Yang recalled Wu Zhongwu's performance, and decided to stand by him this time, so he said, "He has restrained himself a lot."

He only talks and doesn't fight. Of course, many times Yang Yang suspects that the purpose of his talking is to make the other party unable to help but fight first, so that he can fight justifiably, and no one will say that he broke the rules.

"It's good to be restrained. Back then we were still saying that if he was in the human world, the human race might not be at peace." The old man seemed to hear a very satisfactory answer, and his eyes closed with a smile.

He turned his head to look at Yang Yang and Lan Yue, and said, "What about the other monsters? Are they all right in the human world?"

"It's all... pretty good, right?" Yang Yang said not very sure, after all, he still knows very limited monsters.

But as far as the monsters he knew were doing well, Yang Yang didn't know how those little monsters were doing.

But at this time, he must report the good news but not the bad news.

"The human race is multiplying very quickly in the human world, and the monsters are slowly reclusive. Some monsters are mixed among the human race. On the surface, they are not much different from the human race."

"Really?" After hearing his words, the old man was silent for a while, and then continued to ask: "Is there still a conflict? Between monks and monsters..."

The old man did not finish the remaining words, but Yang Yang already knew what he was going to say, so he immediately answered: "That's not true. Since the channel was disconnected, both parties realized that they can only live in peace, so they signed an agreement. Treaty, the two parties play their own way, non-interference with each other."

"That's good."

It seemed that he let go of a big stone in his heart. After hearing Yang Yang's words, the old man let out a breath slowly.

"I was still thinking that for so many years, the demon world and the human world have not been connected. Although the lifespan of the demon race is long, there will always be a day when my old friends are still there. Naturally, they can protect the demon world. The human race, but what about after that? If they are gone and the human race reproduces from generation to generation, what will happen to the remaining monsters?"

This point is not only what the old man is worried about, it is probably also what Yuan Mu and the others thought of.

When these big monsters are still there, they can naturally frighten those Taoist sects, but what if they die one day?

Even the world has its end, so how should the monster races who have run out of time deal with themselves in the human world?

Maybe this is the ultimate goal of Yuan Mu and the others making a non-aggression pact with the human race.

After all, no one thought that they could find the Sky-Breaking Axe, nor did they think that the Sky-Breaking Ax would be able to merge into one one day.

In the time before this, whether it is the human world or the demon world, they have already tacitly agreed that the two parties may never have the opportunity to communicate again.

Until the spiritual power of the demon world began to become violent, Yang Yang sometimes wondered whether the increasingly violent spiritual energy of the demon world was another test compared to the depleting spiritual power of the human world.

For these monsters, which one would they like more?

Naturally, Yang Yang would not ask these questions, he could only guess silently in his heart, but no matter from which point of view, the final outcome of the two is the same, that is, the demise of the Yaozu.

It is difficult for monsters to have offspring, so they pay special attention to offspring, which is destined to be their fatal shortcoming.

Yang Yang once heard from Yuan Mu that the reason why the Yao people chose to migrate with their families was because of the decline of the spiritual power of Shenzhou, which made it completely unsuitable for the survival of monsters.

The biggest problem is - the spiritual power here is simply unable to support the cultivation of subsequent monsters, which is equivalent to that the food produced on a piece of land is not enough for a village to feed the next generation.

Then there is probably no other way than migration.

"Okay, I've finished asking the questions I wanted to ask, so come with me."

The old man seemed to be thinking about his own affairs, and finally he broke the silence and said to the two, "There are still people waiting to see you."

As he said that, with a light wave of his hand, two transparent balls like foam emerged from the pool, quickly wrapped the two of them in, and then spontaneously began to float on the water.

The old man walked in front slowly, using his cane to lightly place it on the water, and walked forward step by step, as if walking on flat ground.

The speed of the old man was obviously not fast, but he came to the opposite side of the pool all at once.

Because the pool was too huge before, Yang Yangzhi could vaguely see the scene at the other end of the pool.

It was only at this time that Yang Yang could see clearly. It turned out that the big black thing he saw in his eyes before was a basalt carved out of a huge black stone.

On the back of the huge turtle, a huge black snake hovered, quietly watching everyone who came in from the hall.

"This is our former patriarch, he is a great patriarch." Noticing Yang Yang's gaze, the old man introduced a sentence, and then said: "Let's go, let's go out from here."

After finishing speaking, he led the two of them slowly around the huge statue, and walked out through the side door.

Behind the main hall is a long corridor, with murals carved on both sides of the corridor, Yang Yang glanced at it roughly, and it seemed to be a very long story, in which the mountains and rivers suddenly collapsed, countless human races and Xuanwu were washed away, Then a gigantic Xuanwu appeared, which saved many people...

"We are here." Just when Yang Yang wanted to continue watching, the old man suddenly stopped, pointed to the door in front of him and whispered: "I hope that everything you say later is the truth, because this relationship to many things.”

Of course I'm going to tell the truth!

This was Yang Yang's first reaction, but the next thing he thought of was, what would it be related to?

Among these things, will the lives of myself and Qingyi be safe?

However, before he had time to ask this question, he felt a beam of light shoot in from the front, and Yang Yang looked up and saw the door in front of the corridor opened.

Against the light, the old man walked slowly towards the door step by step. The sound of the cane falling to the ground seemed to hit Yang Yang's heart.

"Yang Yang!" A familiar voice came.
