Chapter 10: The Poppy Clan

"What are you afraid of, I have a lot of family, even if you are a bad person, I am not afraid. Urban." The little boy stared at Zilong's dark blue eyes and said innocently.

"What's your name?" Zilong asked, looking at the child's pure eyes.

"Gumo. The boy replied dryly.

"That's good, Gu Mo, you can call me Zilong, let's go. Zilong smiled and patted Gu Mo's head and said.

"Well, Uncle Long, I'll give you a ride. Gu Mo looked up at Zilong with a lovely smile, and after speaking, his hands moved, and the fine sand under the feet of the two began to flow, and it flowed all the way forward, and the two of them stood on the fine sand, like a small boat in the water, drifting with the waves.

At this time, the sun continued to spread the scorching temperature, making the entire desert a natural steamer, but Gu Mo seemed to care about these at all, and he didn't even shed a drop of sweat, but when he saw Zilong's disapproving appearance, his face showed doubt, but then it was replaced by a clean smile.

Due to Gu Mo's guidance, Zilong and the two of them got farther and farther away from the stone cover, and finally the stone cover completely disappeared from their sight, and the surrounding was a vast and boundless desert, without anything that could discern the direction, if Zilong walked in this desert by himself, then he would definitely be lost and could not find a way out of the desert.

But out of trust in Gu Mo, Zilong didn't ask anything, just stood calmly by Gu Mo's side and looked in front of them, but most of the day passed, and what he saw was still an endless yellow sand Zilong turned his head to look at Gu Mo, who always had a pure and innocent smile on Gu Mo's face, and couldn't see any expression in addition, and even made Zilong feel like he couldn't see through.

Zilong shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, although Gu Mo's strength was extraordinary, but he was a child after all, maybe it was just that his heart was pure and empty, so he would let himself feel like this. Suddenly, Zilong felt that the temperature began to drop, although it was very subtle, but it still couldn't escape Zilong's feeling.

And the further you go, the cooler it becomes, and the air is already slightly moist, which makes Zilong sure that there is an oasis not far ahead.

As Zilong expected, after they crossed a small sandbag, what appeared in their sight was a large sunken oasis, countless towering ancient trees growing on the oasis, and green lawns under the trees.

And the source of this bent spring is the hill behind the ancient tree, which is not a mountain, because it is too short, not even as tall as some trees, maybe it can only be called a 'small dirt bag', but Gu Mo pointed to the 'little dirt bag' and said proudly to Zilong: "Uncle Zilong, you see, that is my home, isn't it beautiful." ”

Zilong smiled and said to Gu Mo: "Indeed, this place is really beautiful, and I am really happy to live here." It's just that he added another one to his heart: "It would be even more beautiful if that 'little dirt bag' was removed." ”

Gu Mo listened to Zilong's words and said with a happy smile: "Then let's go, no one has come to my house for a long time, my father will be very happy to see you." ”

Saying that, Gu Mo drove the fine sand to the oasis with Zilong, and when he reached the edge of the oasis, the fine sand stopped flowing, Gu Mo tilted his head and glanced at Zilong with a smile, and then jumped onto the lawn, Zilong inadvertently saw Gu Mo's smile from the corner of his eye, which made Zilong's heart tremble, what kind of smile did it look like it had a trace of evil, like a fierce beast staring at its prey and slowly torturing it.

Zilong shook his head, perhaps thinking too much about himself, he was just a child, his feet left the fine sand, and he jumped onto the lawn like ancient ink. The green lawn is very soft and comfortable to step on, and the air here is also very fresh, so that Zilong, who has been in the desert for more than ten days, suddenly feels a hundred times more energetic, he can't help but take a deep breath, open his eyes, and feel the comfort of the cool flowing body.

Seeing Zilong's enjoyment, a trace of doubt flashed on Gu Mo's face again, but it was still fleeting: "Uncle Zilong, let's go, don't let Dad wait." ”

Zilong opened a pair of blazing eyes, dark blue eyes looked at Gu Mo with a hint of brilliance, nodded lightly, and followed Gu Mo into the woods, walking in the direction of the 'little dirt bag', this oasis is quiet at the extreme, there are no animals, and there are no 'many people' as Gu Mo said, so Zilong has a feeling of entering the cemetery. ^^ Sanzang ^^ free

"Gumo, is it just you and your father here?" Zilong asked as he walked, feeling the tranquility around him.

"There's a lot of people here, it's just that they're all sleeping, and you'll see them in a moment. The smile on the corner of Gu Mo's mouth became brighter and brighter, and his innocent appearance made people can't help but get closer.

"Oh, do you sleep during the day, and how long have you been living here, haven't you thought about going out?" Zilong asked nonchalantly.

"I don't remember either, I've been here since I was born, and every day I plant a tree here with my own hands, uncle, you see, all the trees here are planted by me, they are all connected to my life, if one day I die, these trees will not exist. Gu Mo looked up at the towering ancient trees around him and said with some gloom.

Every day, there are hundreds of thousands of ancient trees here, could it be that this child, who looks only eleven or twelve years old, has lived for thousands of years? This shocked Zilong a lot, and before Zilong could speak, Gu Mo continued: "Originally, this oasis was hundreds of times larger, but they all disappeared, and it was a pity to bury them in the wind and sand. ”

Maybe Gu Mo will be the descendant of the Ancient Gutu clan, then it is not surprising that he is thousands of years old, looking at the big gourd Zilong on Gu Mo's back, he asked curiously: "What is that gourd you are carrying?"

"Is it?" Gu Mo patted the gourd behind him with a mysterious smile and said, "You'll find out later." ”

After a while, the two walked through the ancient forest and came to the side of the bent clear spring, Gu Mo's eyes looked at the 'little dirt bag' with a little sadness, and suddenly said, "You are different from others, why did you come here?"

"Hmm, what, who am I different from?" Gu Mo's inexplicable words made Zilong not react for a while, and he couldn't help but ask.

"People who have been here before. Gu Mo said simply.

"Oh, have anyone been here before, and what is the difference between them and me?" Zilong said with a faint smile.

"A lot of people have been here, do you see the branches on the hill in front of you? Gu Mo smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth and continued: "When everyone sees the oasis, they will throw me down and run to the oasis, and then they will come here and drink the spring water here, and you didn't why?"

Zilong looked at Gu Mo suspiciously, and then looked at the hundreds of branches inserted on the 'little dirt bag', not knowing why he couldn't say anything, but he still said bluntly: "I am a guest, you are the host, I will not touch anything here without your permission, and the same is true of this spring." ”

"Am I the master here?" Gu Mo said with a wry smile, "Do you know the name of this bent spring? It is called 'Emperor Killing Spring' and this is the forbidden place known as the 'Emperor Killing Valley' in the forbidden land. ”

Zilong frowned, he couldn't have imagined that this would be a forbidden place that all emperor-level masters were afraid of, but why was Gu Mo here?

As if seeing the doubts in Zilong's heart, Gu Mo met his gaze and said in a flat tone: "This used to be my home, but my family members are all dead, and they will rest under this hill, which is the work of you so-called emperor-level masters, so everyone who comes here will die, and the branch planted on that hill will have one more branch today." ”

Zilong was shocked, and each of the hundreds of branches actually represented the life of an emperor-level master, could it be that they all died in the hands of Gu Mo? Looking at Gu Mo's flat face, Zilong couldn't believe it.

Suddenly, Gu Mo's eyes became sharp, his hands spread out to the sides, and he stretched out to Zilong, and saw that the gourd behind him kept flying out of the fine sand, turning into two big hands and grabbing Zilong, and instantly trapped Zilong firmly in the middle of the fine sand, a hideous smile appeared on Gu Mo's face, it looked so terrible, no one would have thought that he would be the innocent and pure little boy just now.

And at this moment, Zilong's heart was frightened, when he saw the big hand turned into fine sand attacking, he wanted to support the spiritual power shield, but he didn't know why his spiritual power disappeared, and even the Yuan Spirit in his body was also returned to the spirit core, and he couldn't mobilize a trace of it, but only the Earth Yuan Spirit in the yellow spirit core could be called, but the Earth Yuan Spirit was too weak in the past. And at the same time as he was frightened, the fine sand had wrapped him tightly in it, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was difficult to escape.

Gu Mo sneered at Zilong who was constantly struggling and said: "It's useless, in this oasis, anyone will lose their strength, any energy will be sealed, there is nothing else here except the earth essence, in fact, I am really a little reluctant to kill you, if you drink the water in the 'Emperor Killing Spring', why do you want me to do it, I really want to let you go, but my oath will not allow you to leave alive, do you have anything to say before you die?"

Zilong looked at Gu Mo, who was manipulating the fine sand, and said with a wry smile: "Is it still useful for me to say anything, but you may not be able to kill me." ”

Gu Mo's evil smile was even brighter, and he said: "Now in this situation, your confidence, when you see my family, I will see what kind of confidence you have," said his hands, and the thin sand wrapped around Zilong's body began to tighten continuously, but suddenly, a trace of shock appeared on Gu Mo's face, as if he had seen something terrible, and muttered: "Impossible, impossible, how can you ......?"

At this moment, the corners of Zilong's mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly straightened his body, and the fine sand on his body began to fall off continuously, no matter how Gu Mo used the Earth Essence Control Technique, he couldn't control the current situation. Gu Mo only felt that the energy of the fine sand attached to Zilong was constantly absorbed by Zilong, and the fine sand would of course continue to fall off without the support of his energy, but this made Gu Mo a little puzzled, he didn't understand why this situation occurred even though he trapped Zilong......

Gu Mo reluctantly withdrew the fine sand wrapped around Zilong, pointed at Zilong and said sharply, "You are a dark master?"

Zilong patted the dust on his body and nodded, "Yes, I am a dark master. ”

"No wonder, no wonder ......"

"Roar ......", suddenly, a dragon roar sounded through the sky, and the ground began to tremble violently, Zilong saw that the surrounding scenery continued to turn into sand sculptures, and even the bend of the 'Emperor Killing Spring' completely turned into a puddle of fine sand, and then all the fine sand flew up, constantly pouring into the gourd behind Gu Mo, but Gu Mo was stunned, not knowing what happened.

When the entire oasis disappeared into the gourd behind Gu Mo, a yellow light rushed out from the ground and a divine dragon appeared, but the divine dragon seemed to be very happy and kept hovering over Zilong's head, as if he had seen an old friend, and Zilong's shadow technique actually operated uncontrollably for the second time, so that Zilong had to restrain his mind and sit on the ground, carefully channeling the earth spirit in his body.

The earth essence elements in the air flew towards Zilong, constantly being transformed into primordial spirits by the Shadow Technique, and flowing to the yellow spirit core......

In the end, the divine dragon looked up to the sky and roared, and then rushed into Zilong's body, turning into a small dragon outside the yellow spirit core in Zilong's body, like the other five little dragons, constantly coiling around the yellow spirit core, and Zilong also regained control of the Shadow Technique, carefully inspected the body, but there was no change, but the yellow spirit core was condensed a lot, and the earth yuan spirit was also a lot more refined.

Gu Mo stared blankly at everything in front of him, everything around him had disappeared, he and Zilong were completely in the endless desert, and his mouth kept muttering: "Shenlong is now in the world, and the land has returned to the Lord." The dragon is now in the world and returns to the Lord......"

After a while, Zilong got up and looked down at Gu Mo, who was still there, and didn't know what to do, although Gu Mo just wanted to kill him, but between Gu Mo's words, Zilong heard that Gu Mo couldn't be blamed for all this, of course, he wouldn't kill Gu Mo with his backhand.

Seeing Zilong Gu Mo who got up, he suddenly woke up and knelt on the ground with a 'plop' and said respectfully to Zilong: "The twelfth generation of the Gutu clan has seen the clan master. ”

Gu Mo's sudden action made Zilong stunned for a moment and said a little overwhelmed: "What does the clan master mean?"

Gu Mo raised his head to meet Zilong's gaze and said, "When the patriarch was alive, he said that my Gutu clan has passed down a sentence from the first generation: 'Shenlong is now in the world, and the Gutu returns to the Lord. 'If one day the dragon appears in someone's body, then this person will always be the patriarch of our Poppy clan, so from now on you will be the patriarch of my Poppy clan, although ...... I'm the only one left of the Poppy clan. In the end, a trace of sadness appeared on Gu Mo's face.

Zilong sighed helplessly: "It's another kind of prophecy, why does the divine dragon always appear when I come? Could this really be the energy that exists in the Seven Clans that Sha Fan said, but the little dragon in his body is clearly absorbing his own energy." Zilong still couldn't figure it out, but looking at Gu Mo, who was a little sad, made him put aside these thoughts in his mind and stepped forward to help Gu Mo up.

Gu Mo bowed again and said, "Thank you to the clan master for letting my clan return to the lord." ”

Zilong was stunned and said, "When did I say that I would be your clan master." ”

"You have already helped me up just now, and I just admitted the identity of the clan master, and now I am not allowed to rely on it. Gu Mo said with a sly smile in his eyes.

Sighing, Zilong secretly said in his heart that he was already the leader of the beast control clan again, and now he has become the master of the Poppy Clan, Zilong smiled bitterly, shook his head, looked at Gu Mo and said, "Tell me what happened to the Poppy Clan, how can you be the only one left?"

The sadness in Gu Mo's eyes reappeared, and he took a deep breath of hot air and slowly said the original tail to Zilong......

Since ancient times, the Poppy people have lived in this vast desert and lived a quiet and peaceful life, but just five thousand years ago, dozens of emperor-level masters flocked here together, and they demanded that the patriarch at that time hand it over in a tough tone, otherwise they would be slaughtered.

However, the importance of the clan code to the Poppy tribe is not allowed to be handed over to others, the Popu patriarch resolutely refused their request, and in this way, those emperor-level masters and all the warriors in the clan launched an unprecedentedly tragic battle, as a result, none of the dozens of emperor-level masters survived, and the Popu tribesmen also suffered heavy losses, almost losing all their combat effectiveness.

However, all this did not end because of this, just when the Gutu people thought that no one would come to harass them again, a terrifying person appeared in front of them, that person had reached the sub-saint level, and for the Gutu tribe who had lost their combat effectiveness, he undoubtedly became synonymous with terror.

However, what was surprising was that the person did not directly carry out the slaughter, but put forward the condition, as long as all the people of the Poptu tribe joined a force called Tianjimen, they would give up the acquisition, as an ancient race, with their own arrogance, it was impossible to submit to other forces, so the patriarch rejected this proposal again, and the nightmare of the Popu tribe began.

In that battle, the yellow sand was covered with blood, and no one of the Gu Tu people could escape the brutal slaughter of that sub-saint-level master, and at that time, because Gu Mo was still hiding in a corner, he escaped.

In the end, after killing everyone and grabbing them, the sub-saint-level master left the Gutu tribe, leaving only corpses all over the ground. The young Gu Mo was frightened by such a picture, he ran around, kept crying, and found his relatives in the pile of corpses, but in the end, he showed the dying patriarch.

The patriarch of the Pop Tu used his last strength to tell Gu Mo to let him live strongly, only in this way can the Pop Clan take revenge, and tell him a word: 'The dragon is now in the world, and the Poppy Land returns to the Lord.' The patriarch said that this is what every Poptu patriarch must know, and this sentence has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, if one day Gu Mo sees a person who can lead out the dragon, then the Poppy clan is under his command, and that person will help the Poppy clan avenge and retrieve the clan code.

Gu Mo still remembers the last words of the patriarch, "Gu Mo, you have to continue to grow, the future of the Poppy clan depends on you, from today on, this land will be a paradise for the Poppy clan except for the dark master, and the graveyard of the enemy......" After speaking, these patriarchs suddenly dissolved themselves, and their corpses turned into countless grains of sand, and except for those who can communicate with the earth essence element, all the energy will be sealed on this grain of sand, which is the meaning of the last sentence said by the patriarch.

Gu Mo sadly buried the corpses of all the clansmen, facing the tombs of the clansmen, Gu Mo vowed that those who wanted to disturb the rest of the clansmen must die.

Since then, it may have been the huge energy riot generated by the Great War, which made the emperor-level masters in the Xiangyun Forbidden Land feel it and come to investigate, but because of this paradise of the Gu Tu tribe, they died in the fine sand of ancient ink, adding some more branches to the tomb of the clan.

After listening to Gu Mo's narration, Zilong felt a trace of sadness in his heart, but at the same time, he was angry at the shamelessness of Tianjimen, which further strengthened Zilong's hostile psychology with Tianjimen, looking at Gu Mo who was still immersed in sad memories, Zilong said in a deep voice: "You come with me, one day I will help you take revenge, and I will also help you get it back." ”

Raising his head and looking at the serious Zilong Gumo, he showed a smile of relief and said: "Even if you don't let me follow you, I will rely on you not to leave, because you are the patriarch of our Gutu clan, from today onwards, I will obey any orders you give unconditionally." ”
