The Nightfish's lair is in the core of the deep mountain range, and is a complex of ancient buildings.

It is said that the origin of the night rays can be traced back to the prosperous period of Wudao, when the woods of this land were not so dense and dense, the mountains and ravines were not yet covered by trees, and the climate was cold for more than eight months a year.

At that time, the nightfish dug a series of holes between the hills and ravines that were tens of meters short and hundreds of meters long, crisscrossing the ground, and the most primitive nightfish nests were built in this way.

Later, the night fish learned to build nests and houses from humans, building wooden houses on top of underground nests, and after generations of modifications and construction, today's nests are ancient buildings similar to the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Maybe they will learn the architectural style of modern people, and transport steel and cement into the depths of the mountains and forests to build high-rise buildings, but I don't know how long it will be, after all, this place is too far away from the world, and it is not possible to copy it immediately.

In addition to building nests, they have also been improving and developing in terms of communication with the outside world, as early as hundreds of years ago, a considerable part of the members of the Yelu clan have been integrated into human society (by the way, many youkai also hide their identities and mingle in human society), from an objective point of view, they have no ill will towards humans, they just want to keep up with the times and live well.

However, due to congenital reasons, they are unable to live peacefully with humans - they need to feed on human blood to survive, and ordinary humans are extremely terrified when they learn of their existence. Moreover, some human monks have some sects that make poison, and they are more interested in their fangs and venom, and even at a certain time, the night world has risen to hunt vampires and sell them for money, and during that period, the night rays almost went to war with the human race, and in the end, it was the inn and the night watchman at that time who intervened to calm down the turmoil.

Later, in order to minimize the conflict between humans and the nightfish, the inn mediated and set up an institution such as a blood collection station, and a considerable amount of hidden blood was transported into the nightfish's lair every month.

The black cat had only been here once a long time ago, and he couldn't remember the exact location of the nest, so he took Xu Guan back and forth around the core of the mountain range, running through the dense forests and ravines for three hours before finally finding the nest.

Black Cat and Xu Guan stood under a big tree, across a pool of green water, looking at the buildings hidden under the ancient forest from a distance, it was simply a small city.

There is a miasma floating on the water pool, and the surrounding ground and trees are stained with a layer of slippery poisonous liquid, and if you look closely, you can also see swarms of poisonous insects and poisonous ants lying on the trees.

The black cat observed for a long time, but could not find the once leafy Great Divine Tree, so he had to go into the city to investigate.

The two of them bypassed the water and quietly approached the ancient building. I don't know how many ancient buildings there are, densely packed, staggered and standing in the forest, the most conspicuous is the ancient building in the middle, compared to other ancient buildings are much taller and grander, there are sixteen or seventeen floors at a rough look.

The black cat took Xu Guan into a hidden alley, sneaked into this ancient city, and went straight to the tall ancient building in the middle.

The ancient building in the middle is the core of the whole city, called the Eternal Night Tower, where the patriarch and the elders of the clan live, where important meetings are held, and where the records of major events in the clan are recorded, and good things will be collected here. If a treasure like a sacred tree can't be found outside, maybe something related to it can be found in this ancient building.

The black cat and Xu Guan shuttled through the alley for a while, feeling that something was not right, it was surprisingly quiet here, so they randomly found a few ancient buildings nearby to check, only to find that they were all empty. The uninhabited old building is in disrepair, the tables and chairs are decaying, and the ground and walls are covered with green moss.

"No wonder it's so quiet. Xu Guan looked at the empty building and frowned, "Where did they go?"

"There may be some people in the center of the city. Let's take a look. The black cat said, jumping on the eaves, and Xu Guan leaned in to follow.

When I got to a location close to the center of the city, I noticed some movement.

Several small buildings surrounding the Eternal Night Tower, several figures walked up and down the outer corridors, like lookout patrols. In addition, several main streets in the center of the city were also cleaned, and occasionally three people lined up in a line to walk around.

"It's well defended. Xu Guan hid on the side of the top of a small building, with a black cat lying next to him.

"This is their own chassis, and there are very few outsiders coming, how can there be such strict guards? The black cat wondered if his impression of the nightfish lair was not like this.

"Could it be that there are outsiders here?" Xu Guan guessed, and added: "In addition to us, there are other people here." ”

"The Lich Protector Wu Yan. The black cat looked serious.

"Is it really going to collude with the Nightfish?" Xu Guan also became solemn.

"Let's go to the Eternal Night Tower and investigate. Can you avoid those eyes?" the black cat pointed with its paw at the patrols upstairs and on the ground.

"No problem. Xu Guan said confidently.

With that, the two of them showed their bodies and quietly approached the Eternal Night Tower.

The black cat has an innate advantage in stealth, as it is small enough to hide easily, it is light on its feet and barely makes a sound, and it has an extremely sensitive sense of hearing and smell, allowing it to detect anything around it. He navigated between the windows and the roofs, easily avoiding those eyes.

Xu Guan's body style is a cut worse than the black cat, but the innate advantage of the night dragon is not weak, the super sense of balance and excellent control of the body allow him to walk safely on vertical walls, sloping rooftops and other rugged positions. In addition, those patrolling night rays did not check carefully, and they did not think that there would be intruders sneaking in this deep forest ancient building that had not seen outsiders for a long time. It was Xu Guan and the black cat who came to the Eternal Night Tower smoothly.

The two of them jumped through the window into the second floor of the Eternal Night Building, and faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from upstairs, so they tiptoed up the stairs.

It is true to say that the black cat avoided the eyes of all the patrol officers, but Xu Guan did not, he just avoided the eyes of the vast majority of people, and there was one person whose eyes he couldn't dodge.

Devouring Yuan, the second son of the patriarch of the Nightfish Clan, has a handsome face, fair skin, and a tall figure, and can be called a standard beautiful man. But he was in a bad mood right now, anxious, irritable, and all sorts of restlessness.

Yuyuan stood in front of the third-story window of a small building to the left of the Eternal Night Tower, looking out of the window at the city. A few days ago, the female protector of the Lich Clan came here, claiming to declare war on the inn, hoping to get the support of the Nightfish Clan and jointly subvert Kyushu. He also promised that after the deed was completed, the Nightmares would be able to obtain all the areas north of the Imperial Capital, and that they would be able to keep humans in captivity like humans in captivity, and even allow Nightrays to hunt live people at will in areas other than their own chassis.

This condition is hard to refuse for the bloodthirsty nightrays by nature.

The patriarch Yu Wei received Wu Yan and his party as VIPs, and then urgently summoned several high-ranking members of the clan, including the elders, to hold a meeting in the Eternal Night Tower.

As the patriarch, it is the responsibility of the devouring deer to work hard for the survival or better survival of the nightfish, at this time the lich clan gave him a chance to bring the nightmar to unprecedented prosperity, so he suggested accepting cooperation, and many old guys who are not old agree to his suggestion to fight for the prosperity of the nightfish, and in the future, the history books of the nightmaro clan will also make a credit for themselves and pass on to future generations.

There are also a few soft eggs who have been instigated by humans and inns and do not recommend provoking a war, but their right to speak is too light, and they didn't even finish the whole sentence at the meeting, so they were glared at by the devourer and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into their stomachs.

The few remaining people are in the same camp as the devouring abyss, they are not willing to break the existing peace, there is nothing wrong with this kind of life, the nightfish want to stay in their own lair, they stay, the inn cooperates with them to arrange their livelihood, and if they don't want to stay here, they go out and integrate into human society, as long as they don't violate the rules of the inn, they can still live a very nourishing life.

Such a harmonious and comfortable situation is unprecedented, and Yu Yuan likes his current life very much. In addition, from an objective point of view, the inn is a behemoth, its strength is incalculable, and once a war breaks out, the cultivators who support the inn and the cultivation sects among the human race will become the enemies of the nightfish. Taking a step back, even if the strength of the Lich Clan is strong enough to compete with the Inn, the other forces of all parties cannot take care of it, and can only be controlled by the Nightfish, and the strength of the Nightfish Clan is far from enough to beat the table and call so many cultivators. It is still unknown whether the Nightfish will survive the actual fight, so it is too risky to rashly provoke a war.

For several days in a row, the high-level leaders of the Nightfish with different views quarreled at the meeting, and in private, the patriarch devoured the Nightfish who opposed him and coerced and lured them, and after a few days, there were only three or five Nightnights who still insisted on the peaceful viewpoint. Today was the last meeting, and the remaining three or five people were also stripped from the meeting and assigned some inconsequential patrol duties.
