Volume 2 Xuancai Mountains 114: The Misunderstanding of the Elders
In the past, Fang Nuo had never seen so many relatives at one time.
He suspected that among the Yellow Immortals who were ambushed in the trees and alerted to him, a "stranger", there were relatives he knew before, but even though he had only been away for a few days, he could no longer distinguish those demon beasts.
The first level is full of young monsters, and the older generation of Yellow Immortals will only silently stay in any corner, on the commanding heights, observing and tracking his movements.
Fang Nuo had no intention of being an enemy of his former kindred, so he didn't call those guys out.
Relying on a strenuous exercise of "jumping and dodging", Fang Nuo, who had been frozen all the way, finally regained his vitality.
He smiled and waved goodbye to the clansmen who had come to "welcome" him home, and then stepped past the bodies of the clansmen who had fallen in the snow and headed deeper into the Huangxian Mountains.
He knew the old guys were still staring at him.
The Yellow Immortals used the sound of the wind as a cover for the sound of their way through the snow, and they would chase after the uninvited guests who invaded their territory wherever they went.
Passing by the hunting grounds, Fang Nuo stopped.
His gaze was drawn to the little hairballs hiding behind some large tree and for some reason not following the instructions of their elders.
The little yellow, brown, and orange beasts, huddled behind cover, trembled incessantly, and stretched their necks desperately, poking their little heads out from behind the trees, their eyes glowing as they looked at them.
The beasts' eyes met.
"Babble!" A younger Yellow Immortal was the first to be unable to withstand the pressure of disobeying the orders of his elders and screamed.
Her companions rushed to cover her mouth.
"Don't panic, don't panic." Fang Nuo, who faced his past fellow race for the first time in human form, waved his hand a little helplessly.
He thought that he had adapted to the way the limbs of this body moved through the previous period of travel, but he didn't know that he had not yet gotten used to the range of movement of the new body, and the posture that was originally used to express friendship suddenly became like a threat.
Moreover, when he became a human being, what came out of his mouth was also human language.
Can the miracle of transformation change the habits of a creature?
It is no wonder that in the past, the elders only let them study the recitation of the sealing ceremony mantra by heart, and did not make strict requirements for other sentences.
Is it because there is no need for this at all? As long as you succeed in courting and learn the miracle of transformation, you can subconsciously speak the language of the transformed race?
Fang Nuo stared at his raised arm with some blankness, and the absurd inference that had just formed in his mind was quickly denied by himself.
How easy is learning a new language?
Fang Nuo, who thought so, completely left behind the fact that "it is not easy to succeed in asking for the seal", because he had actually succeeded several times.
The frequency of his begging for sealing is also higher than that of other yellow immortals, and his ability to overcome the sequelae is also relatively strong.
The repercussions suffered after the defeat were nothing more than a sharp pain in the throat as if it had been burned by flames, and afterwards it became extremely hoarse and almost silent.
Either that, or if you experience unbearable pain in other parts of your body, you will be able to look at them with a normal mind after experiencing them a few more times.
These "costs" are not worth mentioning compared to the benefits obtained after success, just as he can not hesitate to use "malicious values" in exchange for what he needs.
One is the ability that he can use, and the other is the "sacrifice" that he can bear, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged, if he hesitates in this kind of thing that can be regarded as "the advantages outweigh the disadvantages", then he will definitely suffer a big loss on the road to promotion to the immortal beast in the future.
He didn't want that to happen.
"It should ...... It will only change the mind of one living being. "The form of the body affects the way you think, Fang Nuo judged in his mind.
The language he speaks is what he has learned in the past.
The more knowledge he has, the better it will be for a monster who chooses to transform into other creatures, at least, he won't have to start from scratch in a language he wasn't good at.
Moreover, most of the demon beasts who decided to "change their identities" lived for too long in their original appearance and were disgusted with the unchanged life, so they made up their minds to "take a gamble" and use spiritual power to transform into a new existence.
That kind of demon beast often has far-reaching insight in itself.
In other words, those who have the ability to perform the miracle of "transformation", except for Huang Xian, who can rely on "begging for seals" to cheat, most of the other monsters are intellectuals with mature personalities, and there will be no embarrassing situations such as "illiteracy".
The little yellow fairies in the family aspire to become humans, so they will work hard in their nests to study the relevant knowledge, just so that one day when the opportunity comes, they can grasp it.
When you think about it, this is really something that makes the beast's heart surging and exciting.
"Hmmm......"
Fang Nuo, who had been standing there and thinking for a long time, came back to his senses and saw the confused expressions on the faces of the little yellow fairies hanging behind the trees, they couldn't understand his previous words of comfort for the time being, and they couldn't feel the "kindness" he occasionally revealed.
That's because you didn't seize this "opportunity", the humanoid monster clapped its hands, feeling sorry for the "mistake" of the little beasts in their hearts, even if the beasts involved may not have realized it at all.
If the little yellow fairies heard Fang Nuo's inner thoughts, maybe they would ask in confusion, "Huh? Did you miss any opportunities? ”
There may be a little beast who will mercilessly point out: "This is not any "kindness", it is just a corner of your words. ”
But Fang Nuo never cared about what other creatures thought, and he spun around in front of his former peers, showing off his current appearance, and then left the place with his head held high.
He wasn't interested in listening to the "wow-" movement coming from behind, and he didn't care about the envious expressions of the little yellow fairies when they saw the "living humans" for the first time in their lives.
……
"Observation target has been lost, attempting to track it."
“…………”
"The tracking failed, and the effect of spiritual power perception is lower than ideal, Great Elder, do you want to continue to try?"
"Can you tell where this unidentified human is headed?" In the depths of the nest, on a platform made of intertwined plant roots, an old figure with his back leaning on his back asked questions in an orderly manner.
"Do you know where he's going?"
Under the platform of "this ......", demon beasts with fluffy hair stood up.
In the end, he really couldn't bear the fierce eyes of the elders on the stage who vaguely threw themselves at him, as well as the oppressive atmosphere of this underground space in the lair, swallowed his saliva, and said:
"After patrolling the scene, Huang Xian preliminarily inferred that the intruder was likely to ...... It's for our secret realm. ”
"Interesting." In the shadow of the tree roots on the side of the platform, another voice came from an old man, but unlike the old back before, his voice sounded thicker and more energetic.
"Isn't that interesting?" He repeated his point, "There have always been humans who have had undivided expectations of the 'treasures' under our care, and they have tried to break through the many traps and guards of Huangxian Ridge and obtain the legendary legacy left by the Beastmaster. ”
"Then I guess another stupid person with such delusions." Elder Huang Xian, who is more spiritual, said, "Human beings are always greedy, and they like to reach out to things that do not belong to them. ”
"At this point...... the sharp blades fell as he spoke, slashing at the roots of the part of the platform that made up the platform, causing them to separate from the mother in an instant, "just cut off their hands." ”
"It's a laid-back, nice one." Lao Huangxian, who asked the question at the beginning, slowly gave an evaluation.
"In that case, it's up to you to take care of this matter." He seems to be the most authoritative elder in the Huang Xian family, and all Huang Xian needs to follow his words, "At this stage, we don't have time to be distracted to deal with a human being, there are more important things for us to accomplish. ”
"That's what you want."
Elder Huang Xian, who was more energetic, stood up and gave a farewell salute to the elder, then turned around and quickly left.
Looking at the figure not far away that kept going up along the root system of the trees, jumping more and more insignificant, the fluffy young Huang Xian hesitated and said:
"Great Elder...... Could it be that the human caught some news from outside, so he broke into our territory? ”
The implication of his words was to link the trespasser with the "big incident" that had happened in Huangxian Ridge in the past few days.
"With your eyesight, can you see the 'fate' that binds him?"
The old Huang Xian, whose hair on his chin had dragged to the ground, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said:
"If you want to identify 'fate', you need me to stand in front of him myself."
"How's that going to work?" The young Huang Xian who made the suggestion immediately exploded, "We haven't confirmed whether that human has malicious intentions and let you go rashly...... This is too risky, and the other elders will not agree to it. ”
Hearing this, Elder Huang Xian, who was already old enough to a certain level, looked much haggard again:
"Originally, I was the one who made the mistake, and if he really had a relationship with that child, as you suspected, then I had to go and find out as part of the cause and effect."
"There's a better chance he's going to our secret realm!" The young Huang Xian changed his previous respect, almost asserting.
"Little Liu, he ...... Not good at getting along with other creatures. After a long silence, the young demon beast hesitated to speak, but it turned the topic to something else, "Even if his linguistics course is far ahead of his peers, he will not casually show this skill in front of unfamiliar species." ”
"That human being, this 'possibility' that has something to do with him, I'm just talking, Great Elder, you don't need to worry about such a bad speculation."
"You know, it's never been his potential that we're worried about."
Elder Huang Xian put his front paws on the back of his juniors, his coat color was far less healthy and well-defined than that of the younger generation, but was pasted together in clusters, his coat color was dull and lacked shine.
"Don't worry, Great Elder." Young Huang Xian took a deep breath, gave up dwelling on new topics, and decided to end the conversation between the two of them as soon as possible, "Even if you ...... just now That is the last elder, and he is more than enough to drive a human out of our secret realm, and the strength of his beast is more than enough, besides, there are patrolling Yellow Immortals and guards who will help him. ”
"Moreover, even if that human uses a little trickery to bypass their encirclement and suppression, and wants to open the entrance to the secret realm, it will need the breath of a powerful beast clan as a 'stepping stone'...... Powerful in the eyes of human beings is very different from what we perceive. ”
He lowered his waist slightly, getting rid of the touch of "elders caring for juniors" from the Great Elder.
Then, he walked briskly away from the platform of plant roots to the passage from the depths of the nest to the upper floors and to the surface.
"No human being can take away what belongs to ...... He who took away the legacy left by the Beastmaster. He told the great elder of the family firmly, "However, his arrival may bring us news about Xiao Liu's whereabouts...... It's not for nothing. ”
"That's all I have to say, Great Elder, please allow me to leave first."
The young Huang Immortal imitated the etiquette of the last elder who had just left, stood up upright and bowed to the old man who was respected by all the demon beasts in the family.
Then, he hurried down the vine passage upwards and left the darkest part of the lair.
