(Jin Yong is gone...... ）

This girl is just a high school girl after all, and many girls of her age are still just snuggled in the arms of their parents, coquettish, looking forward to future love.

However, as fate would have it, she had to follow her father and adoptive mother and a skinny young man with a slight chatter, experiencing gunfights in the city, enemies of the shadow government that manipulated the world, traveling to the South Pole to find a base, flying to the moon to confront Hitler, and confronting vampire werewolves and other strange creatures......

The experience of less than half a year is already legendary, but how could she want such a legendary experience?

Even though she has a stubborn temper inherited from her parents and refuses to admit defeat easily, she is still frustrated and uneasy in the environment under the sea.

Roberts looked at his daughter, who was crouching on the ground in frustration, refusing to move forward, and Uberto gave him a look.

Want to take a break?

Roberts thought for a moment and nodded.

Uberto continued to ponder his instruments, while Roberts sat next to Joan, the bad relationship between father and daughter caused by their long-term estrangement, which had faded along with the experience of life and death together for half a year, but there were still few heart-to-heart conversations like this.

"Daddy...... Why aren't you afraid. ”

Beside Uberto, Joan, who was sitting with her legs crossed, couldn't help but speak.

She didn't understand, at this moment, the three of them were in this deep sea, even if they wanted to escape, there was nowhere to escape, let alone what way to live, so Roberts didn't feel afraid?

Roberts looked at his daughter beside him, although she had been killed several times, her face still had a sense of immaturity and immaturity, and after thinking about it, he put his hand on his daughter's head and said softly.

"Joan, everybody is scared, but it's useless to be scared, Dad is actually scared too, but I won't show it. ”

However, he was met with his daughter's skeptical and distrustful gaze.

In Joan's opinion, her father never showed any fear, she was just puzzled why he was not afraid, but she did not think that he might have been afraid. As for Roberts's rhetoric, she only thinks it is Roberts' clumsy trick to comfort the child.

But Roberts shook his head.

"Joan, Dad is really scared, in fact, Dad is afraid of a lot of things, that memory when I was a child, being locked up in a small dark room in the training camp after being a little older, and ...... Your mother's business, your father is actually afraid of many things. ”

When it came to Joan's mom, Betty, Roberts paused inexplicably before continuing.

Looking at his daughter in front of him, stroking his daughter's hair, feeling the feeling of the silky hair passing between his fingers, his eyes were complicated, and he whispered.

Of course, Dad will be afraid, but Dad will also realize that it is useless to be afraid, and whenever he realizes this, Dad will force himself to overcome this fear, to overcome this fear. ”

"Joan, remember, in this world, there is no one who is not afraid of anything, it is human who is afraid, and human beings are human because human beings are flawed. ”

"Joan, there is no shame in fear, because it is human nature, but at the same time, it is the human being who knows fear that can burst out with fearless courage. Human beings have a precious heart, which can be beautiful or evil, and human beings will be afraid, but at the same time they will feel the power of courage, and this power will make human beings noble and great, beyond our natural limitations. ”

Speaking of this, for some reason, his heart suddenly moved, and he muttered unconsciously.

"Perhaps, I don't know what fear is...... There are only heartless beasts. ”

But Joan's face was confused and puzzled by Roberts's words, and at this age she couldn't quite understand what her father was trying to say.

Looking at the confusion on his daughter's face, Roberts didn't explain anything, just leaned over, kissed her forehead, and then hugged her into his arms, feeling the weak and fragile daughter in his arms, closed his eyes and comforted softly.

"Joan, don't worry, as long as Dad is here, he won't let you have any trouble. ”

......

"Roberts, you may not understand that your daughter was destined to be involved from the moment she was born, and it may be time for this thousand-year-old fate to come to an end. ”

"What do you mean?!"

"Hehe, it's useless for you to glare at me and be nervous, your daughter is chosen, no, or she's already the only candidate in this world......"

“......”

"No, I can't just say that you've seen a lot of things, and you should understand that there are some things that are dangerous in themselves just by mentioning them......"

“......”

"It seems that you have also understood, she has already been chosen, and she is the crucial key. ”

"How can I save my daughter. ”

"The only way out is to give up the differences and unite as one, and although there is little hope, I will do my best to help you...... Both for myself and for the world. ”

......

The argument before Joan woke up echoed in his mind, and although Uberto never dared to say it directly for some concern, Roberts also vaguely guessed it. He'd seen a lot of things, and he'd been through some of the same things himself, if it was really as he thought......

"Daddy is here, he won't let you have any problems. ”

Roberts silently made an oath in his heart.

And at this moment, a hoarse and strange voice sounded.

"Although I can understand that there is a lot to say between your father and daughter, I will interrupt you, I may have found a way out......"

Looking at the faintly visible light not far away, the three of them did not rush forward.

After about half an hour of advancing according to Uberto's equipment, there were more and more things in the originally uninhabited wilderness, such as broken stone monuments, desolate buildings, human-like corpses, strange armor, etc., but according to the corpse, it was a humanoid creature with a long tail and a four-legged snake.

When they saw the strange corpse, except for Joan, the expressions of both of them were different, especially Uberto's face was extremely serious and cold, and they seemed to realize something.

As he moved on, a little light gradually appeared in the dark place in the distance.

"What do you think is ahead? ”

"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing...... It's a marvelous shield thousands of miles under the sea, and the contents of this shield may be older than the history of human civilization, and I can't estimate what will appear here. ”

Uberto was silent for a moment, then spoke again in a hoarse, strange voice.

"But the corpse ...... If that's what we've suspected, maybe we've found an incredible place, Roberts, why are we here? Do you think it's fate or chance?"

Roberts' expression remained the same, but his gaze was full of determination.

Regarding the conversation between the two in the clouds, Joan was a little confused, so she couldn't help asking.

"Dad, Uberto, what are you talking about?"

Roberts didn't speak, but Uberto looked at her, staring at her with his erect snake pupils, opening and closing his jaw, which grew fangs.

"Joan, do you know the legend of the snake man?"

But before Joan could speak, he shook his head.

"No, maybe I shouldn't have asked, after all, the legend of the snake people is a very secret record, and you shouldn't know it. ”

"In some of the oldest legends of the Inner World, there is a group of creatures that live in the sea, and legend has it that they have a body like a snake, but they have limbs like a human, and in the bottom of the sea they have established a highly developed civilization, which existed at the same time as the Atlanteans, and humans call it the snake civilization. But according to legend, these snake people civilization has disappeared. ”

"I didn't expect that, but now I look at it...... The bottom of the sea, the protective cover, the snake-like humanoid remains, maybe they haven't disappeared. ”

As he spoke, Uberto couldn't help but take a deep breath, but the elongated trachea made his inhalation sound weird, like a leaky pipe.

"Roberts, I think we'd better be ready to fight, are you sure we should move on?" Rob ......"

But there was no response from the side, and Uberto couldn't help but turn his head to look at Roberts beside him, only to see Roberts raise his head, as if he was looking somewhere in the distance, and did not answer Uberto.

"Roberts?"

"I want to ...... We don't need to think about moving on anymore. ”

Looking into the distance, Roberts muttered.

Uberto followed Roberts' gaze, and his pupils reflected the huge army that struck like a black cloud......

"Boom !!"

In the center of the army, the general holding the flag was wearing golden armor, revealing only a pair of erect snake pupils, and it rode on the whale, the huge whale like a hill floated in the air on the clouds, and the body was covered with heavy gold armor covering half of its body, soaring in the air and spitting clouds; Plucking the strings and playing music for the army, the tall giants of the sea tread with heavy steps and their armor made them mighty like the gods of the sky, the winged creatures flying through the air with bows and arrows and brass guns ready to shoot their enemies, and the sturdy fishmen marched neatly on the ground, their whiskers swaying in the wind, but their calm and solemn aura came to their faces......

The ancient snake civilization really didn't disappear, and at this moment, they appeared in front of the three of them.

......

Somewhere on the coast.

The vast ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, and the blue of the sea connects the sea and the sky, and the moody sea is awe-inspiring to mankind, after all, who can be in the middle of the sea and not be in awe of the sea? But today, in the presence of the oldest of human beings, this unpredictable sea seems unusually calm, the sea is calm and waveless, calm and even somewhat submissive.

The oldest human being looked at the sea in front of him, bare his muscles and body, and felt the feeling of his body being blown by the sea breeze, as if he was recalling something.

After a long time, he walked towards the sea.

The sea gradually submerged his ankles, his waist, and his hair until it completely submerged him.

Underwater, the oldest human stepped on the fine sand under his feet, his long hair swaying like seaweed in the sea, staring at the darkness in front of him, silent, and walking towards the deepest part of the seabed step by step.

In the water, there were countless deep voices whispering obediently.

"King. ”

The oldest of humans, the king of the sea and the lord of the snake people who were banished by the snake people.
