The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 704 You admit the wrong person
Hearing this sentence, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that there is something in it.

If a patriarch doesn't sleep well at night and pulls you out of bed, he must have something to say.

Although Yang Yang is not as good at guessing people's hearts as Ning Yuan is, nor is he as insightful as Yuan Mu's side, but he still knows these things, so he immediately hit the snake with the stick and asked, "You...why do you say that?"

"The Temple of the Sea God has gradually declined since the disappearance of the Sea God. Our family originally wanted to go back to the North Sea coast, but with the opening of the demon world passage, we left Shenzhou and came here along with many demon clans." As the old man said, he turned to look at Yang Yang.

"During the change in Beihai, our clan lost a lot of black turtles and fire snakes. They are still children. If they develop at a normal speed, they should have grown into the backbone of the clan one by one. "

Yang Yang knew about this.

Strictly speaking, he even came here for this matter. If it weren't for this matter, Chacha and Zhou Liang might not need to stay in the north now to find a way to combine.

But now that the old man mentioned this matter, Yang Yang immediately said: "Speaking of this, I want to know, after you settled down on the overseas desert island, didn't you go looking for those mysterious turtles and fire snakes?"

"Of course I went."

"Of course there are gains, but our monster clan has always had a hard time offspring, especially for our clan. Although we have found some of them, there are still some that we haven't found. For us, a The black turtle is a very big loss."

"I understand." Yang Yang nodded, expressing his understanding.

For parents who have lost a child, how can having a few more make up for it happening?

Every child is very precious.

He looked at the old man with lowered eyes, as if he was immersed in the loss of the year, and said: "I remember, you once left the elders in the human world, and continued to search for those missing Xuanwu, right?"

"Yes, but after so many years, the channel between the human world and the demon world has been broken. I don't know if she is still alive, and I don't know if she has found those missing black turtles and fire snakes." Speaking of this, The old man's expression became even more sad.

Seeing this, Yang Yang immediately said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. She found the remaining black turtle and fire snake. Although there is only one pair, it is still a hope, isn't it?"

"What!?" Hearing Yang Yang's words, the old man's eyes widened in vain. He stood up from the stone bench, looked at Yang Yang and said, "You said she found the mysterious turtle living in the human world. With Fire Serpent? How are they? Are they all right?"

This action of his startled Yang Yang, not only Yang Yang, but even Tong Fei, who had been guarding the two on the bank, was startled by the movement, and put his hand on the handle of the knife by his side and turned his head to look. To the Huxin Pavilion, it seems that if something goes wrong, it will rush out.

The old man obviously thought that his reaction was a little too much. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to appease the nervous Tong Fei, then looked at Yang Yang and asked, "Is what your lord said true?"

"Really." Yang Yang nodded, looked at the old man and said, "That fire snake was raised by the descendants of the mountain gods and witches of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the black turtle... I don't know, he didn't tell me, but look Looking at it like that, it seems that I haven't suffered much."

"That's good, that's good." Hearing this news, the old man smiled gratifiedly: "I, the Xuanwu Clan, finally have hope."

Hearing these words, Yang Yang suddenly had a bad premonition.

But before he had time to think about it, he remembered the current situation of Chacha and Zhou Liang. He felt that the old man was so optimistic that he might have thought too much, so he told the old man about the situation of Zhou Liang and Chacha, and said: "Because Xuanwu There are no more members of the family in the human world, and the previous settlement was also destroyed by the turmoil, so the two of them have not found a way to combine, and I don’t know if you have any way here?"

"Generally speaking, tortoises and snakes will self-fit after they grow to a certain extent, but there are also cases like what you said. The black tortoise and the fire snake are not together all the year round, and they cannot be fully formed after they become complete. Fusion... But the specific situation, we still have to wait until they return to the clan and the elders have seen it before we can know how to solve it."

As the old man said, he turned his head to look at the moon, and sighed: "It's too early to talk about this now, we can only find a way to open the passage between the two worlds first."

Yang Yang followed his gaze, and saw that under the light of the moon, a layer of silver film covered the palace complex like an upside-down bowl.

Yang Yang knew that this was the protective cover that had protected the Xuanwu tribe until now.

However, the protective cover of Wutong Palace was rotated at the cost of Phoenix's cultivation, what about here?The one here is turned from above?

Yang Yang remembered what the old man said to him before, Yuan Mu once said that they are good friends.

In other words, he was about the same age as himself, and the old man said that he had saved him once, and he was still a little black turtle at that time, which proved that the old man was much younger than himself.

And compared to Yuan Mu's youthful appearance, the old man's appearance really makes people think that he should be much older than Yuan Mu.

So the answer to all this is self-evident.

"How long can you last?" Yang Yang suddenly asked for some reason.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and it was not something he, an outsider, should have asked, but looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face, he remembered the white scales on the big black snake that he saw next to the pool during the day, He still asked.

"Probably... there are still ten or so years." Although he was surprised by Yang Yang's question, the old man still answered the question.

After seeing Yang Yang's sad and pitiful eyes, the old man smiled and replied: "You must know that our Xuanwu clan has always lived a long life. I have lived for so long, and many old friends have already passed away. Now I don’t have any nostalgia for continuing to live, I just hope that I can last for a while longer and buy more time for the children in the clan.”

"Don't worry, Bai Ze and the others will definitely find a way." It won't come to that point.Before Yang Yang could say the remaining half sentence, he was interrupted by the old man reaching out his hand.

He looked at Yang Yang and said: "Of course I know Lord Bai Ze and the others will find a solution, but you must know that the way of heaven is unpredictable. Although they tried their best, the outcome of the matter is not up to me, so in the end , all we can rely on is ourselves.”

When he said that, Yang Yang had no room to refute, so he could only change the subject and ask, "What about the children in the clan? I haven't even seen them..."

It’s okay if Yang Yang doesn’t talk about it. When this topic is mentioned, the old man’s face is so sad that he looks like he could cry at any time. He looked at Yang Yang and said: “You are from the Bird Clan, so you must know that in Wutong Palace, It's been a long time since a baby came out of an eggshell."

He knew that one result of the tyranny of the spirit energy would make it more difficult for monsters to conceive offspring. Even if they were born after all the hardships, they might not be able to survive.

But he didn't know that it was so difficult for a group like the Bird Clan and the Xuanwu Clan that could dominate one side and build a city by cede territory.

No, the situation is even more serious. It is one thing to have a difficult offspring, but at least there is still hope. According to the old man, there are no children at all?
Looking at Yang Yang's expression, the old man nodded with great difficulty, and said, "The latest batch of children is Tong Fei and the others. Under them, our clan has not had a child for a long, long time."

Yang Yang looked at the old man's face and couldn't do anything but sigh.

He didn't ask if there was any other way, because he knew that if there was any other way, it must have been tried, so he could only look up at the moon in the sky and ask, "Then what is the significance of this enchantment? "

Now that there is no other way, Tong Fei and the others don't look like weak monsters who can't survive without their shields.

This is the territory of the Xuanwu clan, and there are no other weak monsters living in it. What is the point of doing this?
Needlessly consuming the old man's life, but can't protect anyone.

"My lord, it's just like what you once told me." The old man looked at Yang Yang and laughed, "It's like every living being will feel sincerely when seeing the sun, for hope."

Without this layer of protection, the Xuanwu tribe would lose hope and fighting spirit. In time, they would die and disappear without the need for tyrannical spiritual power.

Yang Yang looked at such an old man, and suddenly said: "Patriarch, there is something I want to tell you."

"My lord has something to do, just tell me." After hearing his words, the old man smiled brightly and said respectfully.

Faced with this attitude, Yang Yang felt that his words seemed completely speechless, but remembering what the old man said before and the burden on him, Yang Yang still confessed: "I am not the adult who once saved you, you may recognize the wrong person gone."

For Yang Yang, it really took a lot of courage to say this sentence.

But who knew that after hearing his words, the old man showed a clear smile and said: "No, I didn't admit my mistake, it was you."
