Chapter 4 Little Dragon and Little Snake
Since the last time she said goodbye to her uncle Chen Xuanbei, Chen Ruoxuan has continued her research on the Heavenly Steps. It's just that she spends more time taking care of her younger brother Chen Nan.
After the last goodbye, Chen Xuanbei disappeared for three years. Ruoxuan looked out of the door every day, hoping that the uncle would appear there. She also has good new discoveries and new research results that she wants to show and consult Xuanbei.
The inauguration ceremony of the Five Emperors of Trust, which was originally to be held within a year, was also postponed three years later.
Three years later, the Gran headquarters
The huge square is lit up with lights, and it looks festive. Powerful people from all over the world who were invited were all present.
The originally deserted Grand Headquarters has become very lively.
A little boy happily weaves through the crowd, the little boy has grown up in Granburne since he was a child, but he has never seen so many people. Moreover, this time it was not only humans but also many other races.
"Wow, look at the sky, black bear, what a big yellow lizard with wings!
"Stupid! That's a dragon! The golden dragon of the West!" the black bear slammed the boy on the head.
"Wow! That's the Golden Dragon! it's much more beautiful than I imagined, but it's so small!" the boy said as he held his head in pain, still excited.
"Indeed, it's so small. How can it be so small?" the black bear also looked at the Golden Holy Dragon and asked curiously.
The Golden Holy Dragon has a strong body, a thick and long neck, sharp teeth, and a long tail. A pair of huge wings on his back, capable of encircling his body. The golden scales are particularly dazzling, revealing a noble and domineering spirit.
It's just that the size of this golden holy dragon really doesn't match the legend, and according to legend, the golden holy dragon is huge and can be hundreds of meters long. However, the golden holy dragon in front of them was only more than two meters long, and it looked very petite and cute. That's why the boy first recognized the golden dragon as a golden lizard with long wings.
"Chen Nan, Black Bear, tell you not to run around! How many times have I told you! Today is the ceremony of the new emperor's appointment, and the world's top capable people are here. Be courteous!" A girl of about twenty years old called out to the boy and the black bear.
The boy is Chen Nan, who is already six years old, and the girl is naturally his second sister Chen Ruoxuan.
Today's Chen Ruoxuan has retreated from her childishness and is slim. She was slender and not tall, like a slender, handsome, foliage-like little birch tree in the woods.
"Okay, got it. Sister, where are we waiting?" Chen Nan behaved very well-behaved in front of his sister.
"We have our own seats, you come with me. Black bear, go find your stepfather, he will take you to the place where you sit. Chen Ruoxuan grabbed Chen Nan with one hand and began to stride forward, turning back to the black bear while walking.
Since the sacrifice of all the five emperors in the "cataclysm", it has been three years since the election of the new generation of five emperors has been confirmed. Because the sacrifice of the previous Five Emperors was too unexpected, the Gran people needed time to find and select the trusted Five Emperors from scratch, so they were delayed for three years.
Chen Ruoxuan also took Chen Nan to the VIP seat dedicated to the Chen family.
There is a huge stage in the middle of the whole square, and the nearest places on the stage have dedicated VIP rooms. After the VIP room, there are ten rows of individual seats, reserved for those of the major clans and nations who have accepted the invitation. After that, it's time for the audience to sit some distance from the stage.
In the VIP seat of the Chen family, Chen Xuandong sat in the middle as the patriarch. Next to him sat two young people, Chen Qingshan and Chen Qingshui. Chen Ruoxuan, who walked into the VIP room with Chen Nan, took Chen Nan to sit down on other chairs in the private room at will.
"Big brother, didn't the eldest sister come?" Chen Nanle ran to Chen Qingshan's side, hugged his thigh and said.
"No, the eldest sister is receiving those ancient clansmen outside as the representative of the Chen family of the Gran clan. Chen Qingshan hugged Chen Nan very fondly, "Yo, our little Nan'er has grown so heavy, and she is about to become a man." ”
"That's it, Nan'er will soon be able to become a man who stands up to the sky!" Chen Nan patted his chest in Chen Qingshan's arms and said proudly.
"Really, you're still a man, you don't want to exercise every day, little lazy cat. Chen Ruoxuan on the side quipped.
"No!" Chen Nan blushed and turned his head to look outside.
"Hey, there's a little snake sitting on a sedan chair, and the sedan chair is guarded by four human snakes. Such a powerful snake can actually let the snake guard carry a sedan chair for it. ”
Chen Nan, who was looking outside, suddenly saw this scene, the human snake guard was the most complete evolved human body in the snake clan. The upper body has completely evolved into a human form, but the lower body still retains the appearance of a snake. They are already the top capable people in the snake clan, and there are many snakes in the world that can evolve into human-like human bodies, and there are no more than ten people.
"Who's that, sister, to have the snake guard serve it. Chen Nan looked curiously at the second sister who knew everything in his heart.
"That is the ancestor snake - the Yaqi Snake, also known as the ancestor of ten thousand snakes, or the ancestor of snakes. Chen Ruoxuan replied after glancing out.
"Yaki Orochi? Doesn't the Yaki Orochi in the cartoon have eight heads? And it's huge. They are all higher than the mountains. ”
"You say it's a cartoon. Come, Chen Nan, my sister will popularize the stories of these ancient mythical beasts or demon beasts to you today. Chen Ruoxuan beckoned and motioned for Chen Nan to come to her side.
Chen Nan, who could listen to his sister's story again, quickly ran to Chen Ruoxuan's side, took out a small bench, and sat down obediently and waited for Chen Ruoxuan to tell the story.
"These divine beasts, fairy beasts, or demon beasts, all have one thing in common, that is, they appeared on the earth earlier than humans. He has even been the master of the earth. In the course of tens of thousands of years of evolution, they have multiplied into two types, one is the species form that we can usually see everywhere on the earth, and the other is the so-called demon beast or fairy beast. ”
"Then those animals that came here today are all fairy beasts or demon beasts?" Chen Nan asked curiously, he did see a lot of animals of all shapes and shapes coming here today.
"Yes, but they are not ordinary demon beasts or immortal beasts, they are all the strongest among demon beasts and immortal beasts or the most primitive ancestral beasts. ”
"But they're all small!"
"Who told you that a powerful demon beast or an immortal beast must be very big?" Chen Ruoxuan asked as she looked at Chen Nan with a bewildered expression.
"That's how it's played in cartoons, and that's what it's written in books. Chen Nan replied aggrievedly.
"As demon beasts and immortal beasts, they have exchanged their extremely low reproduction speed for a terrifying lifespan, so a lot of demon beasts or immortal beasts, their primitive ancestral beasts are still alive. Chen Ruoxuan bent down and whispered to Chen Nan.
"Most of the people who come today are primordial ancestral beasts, and as the first progenitors of this species to become energy bodies, most of them retain their original appearance before they became energy bodies. And because they are genetically stereotyped, they can't become half-human or humanoid, and no other mutations will occur. ”
"The mythical beasts and the like recorded in many places you see are mostly mutants or test subjects, and they want to obtain stronger energy, thinking that the larger the size, the greater the power. ”
"Oh, I see, then the animals I saw just now are all primordial ancestral beasts, so are they all strong?" Chen Nan pretended to understand, in fact, he was only six years old, and he didn't understand a lot of what his sister said just now.
"Yes, there is no major difference in appearance between the primordial ancestral beasts and the most primitive beasts, but there are still some differences in details. For example, the Golden Holy Dragon Ancestral Beast was much smaller than the current Golden Holy Dragon, but the scales on its body were brighter than theirs. ”
"Another example, the Yaki Snake you just saw, although it doesn't have eight heads, but the scales on his body are completely different in color from other snakes, and he has two purple scales running from his head to his tail. ”
"Oh, I guess I know, they're just not big anyway. Chen Nan found that he didn't understand much, so he simply didn't want to listen, took a small bench, ran to the empty window, and looked out blankly.
"Haha...."Chen Xuandong let out a slight laugh: "You say so much to him now, and he can't understand it." When he goes to school, he will teach slowly."
"Oh. Hearing the second uncle say this, Chen Ruoxuan also reflected, what she just said was a little more complicated for the six-year-old Chen Nan. But she didn't even preach about the real complexities she hadn't preached. When she was six years old, she had already read a hundred books, and she would have known this knowledge a long time ago.
"Alright, everyone sit down, the ceremony is about to begin. This was the first time I had the chance to see a real Glenn. Chen Xuandong said calmly.
