Chapter 199: Demon Clan's Territory
Shen Zai Su said, "Just like me, after the death of the previous leader of the Dragon Clan, her body was put on the boat. The next day, a new dragon egg appeared on the shore of the lake, and I was born from that dragon egg. ”
Ling Xiao tearfully listened to this story, and was inexplicably a little sad. I feel that the origin of Dragon Island and the entire Shenlong clan is shrouded in a layer of mystery.
She added:
"If I die one day, people will put my body in a small boat and let me drift slowly down the water and return to Dragon Island...... Soon, on the shore of Dragon Island, there will be a new dragon egg. Maybe it's not me, but we're all connected by blood. When I was younger, I often had a dream, a very beautiful dream, that I was back on Dragon Island again, curled up in a dragon egg, and it was very warm......"
She turned relieved, left the dragon egg, and said, "It's not too early, I'll take you to another place, my friends are still waiting!"
Ling Xiao beckoned to the dragon egg with tears, "See you again when you have a chance, you have to grow up quickly." ”
Leaving Dragon Island and walking westward, the road here became more and more familiar to Hei Yu, until he saw a tall cave, and he was sure that this was the place where he had come with Bai Shengye.
Before he could reach the entrance of the cave, Di Man shouted, "Bata, come out! Guess who's coming?"
"I brought you a small fish snack!" said Shen Zai.
As soon as the voice fell, a small head poked out of the hole, two playful cat ears on her head, and a transparent tough beard on her face, and she grinned happily:
"Bata, Bata, I know you're the best for me, Bata!"
As he spoke, he nimbly jumped in front of Shen Zai and took the lunch box in her arms. The bow on the lunch box was opened by her three times and two times, her fingers first dipped in the delicious soup inside, and then put it in her mouth to suck, her face was full of happy smiles.
"Little glutton, these are yours, eat slowly. ”
"Batabata!"
Hei Yu touched the two ears on the cat demon's head, "This little cat demon is very cute." ”
She shook her head and dodged. "Bata, who are you?"
"You don't know me anymore?"
She looked at it carefully, and Di Man reminded:
"He is our great benefactor, he once saved the infected of the demon clan, have you forgotten?"
"Batabata, the dried fish is delicious...... she said as she pouted, her cheeks bulging.
"The patriarch will be glad to see you, let's go inside. Di Man said, leading a few people to the cave.
Bowing his head down the gentle slope, the inside opened up, and it was an open space. Once it was full of wounded infected by the dark, now there is no one.
The open space is connected to dozens of large and small caves, which are estimated to lead to different places, and people who are not familiar with this place really dare not enter easily.
Di Man lit a torch and led the way, and Black Feather walked beside him. The three girls walked behind, and on the way, Bata was eating small fish snacks with relish, muttering and whispering to Shen Zai, and Ling Xiaotear quickly became familiar with Bata Tear.
Walking along one of the paths, he soon came to the intersection of a cave in all directions, and Di Man turned into one of the caves.
I don't know how many such meeting points have passed, and the underground cavern is becoming more and more like a labyrinth, and Black Feather is already dizzy, and it is difficult to even remember the route he has taken.
"I can remember so many roads clearly, admire and admire. Black Feather couldn't help but say.
"It's safe to have a more complicated route, don't worry, it's almost there. Di Man said.
Sure enough, at the end of the road, a vertical downward wooden ladder appeared below, and Hei Yu and the others climbed down the ladder to one of the strongholds of the demon clan.
Dingdong's underground spring water meanders along the cliff and converges into a small waterfall in the middle of the square, opening up the view to a fairyland-like underground world below.
The spring formed a pond and flowed forward, surrounded by countless grotto caves, cascading to the top.
These caves are inhabited by the inhabitants of the demon clan. Seeing Di Man and Bata coming back, with Princess Shenlong with them, they leaned out enthusiastically and beckoned.
An old man with gray hair walked in front of him in the square, also with pale yellow scales on his body, he looked at the guests who came with Di Man, his eyes fell on the beast bone necklace worn by Hei Yu, stroked his beard and said to Di Man:
"You've brought new friends with you, are these two?"
Di Man hurriedly introduced:
"Oh, grandpa, these two are people you can trust. His name is Black Feather, and he once saved the demon clan infected by the dark power. This is Ling Xiao Tears, they are all good friends of the princess. ”
The old man smiled kindly, "Oh, it turned out to be the person who was invited by the Dragon Lady to treat our demon clan, and on behalf of the clan, I would like to express my gratitude." ”
His Terran language was the most fluent among the demon clans that Black Feather had ever met, but it still sounded weird.
Di Man whispered to Hei Yu, "This is the patriarch of our demon clan. ”
"Oh, Patriarch, hello. ”
The young children of the demon clan immediately gathered around when they saw the gods. They were curious about the two strangers, and from time to time they reached out and tugged at their clothes.
"Let's go sit down over there. Shen Jae said.
Several people were pushed on their backs by the children and came to a large blue lotus leaf at the bottom of the small waterfall.
Most demons don't speak the language of the human race, but they are more enthusiastic and innocent than they think, and they don't have the complex minds of humans. As a sign of friendship, they brought delicious fruits from all over the place.
Overhead, a group of agile demons swayed from the vines hanging from the cliff, as if celebrating the arrival of a new friend.
"I usually come here secretly to play, and I stay all day, and Uncle Shenmu can't find me at all. Shen Zai said as he ate the fruit in his hand.
The waterfall murmured, rippling with the sound of water, knocking on the rock walls of the cave, echoing in the echo.
Filled with the glow of underground plants, mysterious and peaceful, in the craggy caves, most of the demons leaned comfortably on the railing and looked down, or sat on the small tables and chairs woven of vines in the cave, busy with their own business.
"It turns out that the demon clan really lives underground. Black Feather said.
"Not really. Di Man said, "Our demon clan originally lived in the forest behind Dragon Island, but due to the deterioration of the environment, the original home has been reduced to a desert. In desperation, we had no choice but to migrate to the vicinity of Dragon Island and live in these deep underground. If it weren't for the fact that there was no place for our demon clan on the ground, we wouldn't have been forced to live in seclusion underground. ”。
"Brother Black Feather, how long are you going to stay this time?" asked Shen Zai.
"Oops!" Ling Xiao remembered in tears, she still had an important task ahead of her.
