After Ye Mingke killed the python at the beach that night, he lost consciousness, and his last perception stayed at the moment when he struggled and fell to the body of the blood python.

He had no memory of what happened after that, and it was like his own desire to survive, and it was like a demon sealed in his body.

After breaking out of the cocoon, almost all the skin on his body has regrown. He was a few inches taller than his peers, and his hair, which was originally just a normal length, grew to his waist.

He has far more strength, speed, and even five senses than before, and he has been completely reborn.

But his own will has not been fully restored, and he is still suppressed by more terrifying and intense desires than before.

Like a wild beast, he threw himself into the dense forest, wandered in this forest, became the overlord of this forest, and oppressed the whole forest to silence.

It wasn't until that group of people alarmed the white tiger, and until he saw the human race, that the consciousness that belonged to Ye Mingke struggled out of the terrifying desire to eat.

After Ye Mingke joined the team, Li Han and his party were still seven people.

They did not return immediately, but according to the requirements of the immortals, they picked up all kinds of strange flowers and ores in the forest that the immortals needed.

They walked in the forest for two days, and in these two days they were surprisingly smooth and safe, and they encountered fierce beasts and poisonous insects several times, but they were also easily leveled by Ye Mingke.

With the passage of time, the blood color of Ye Mingke's pupils gradually faded, and he reverted to his original black and white, quiet and clear appearance.

He cut off part of his long hair with a dagger, tied it up again, and washed the blood off his clothes. The cold and tyrannical momentum on his body like a fierce beast was also restrained by him.

On the surface, he seems to have become a good boy with a delicate appearance, neatly dressed, and quiet and clear eyes.

Seems...... It's back in the town before the new rain that fell.

But there was indifference and alienation in those quiet eyes that looked at the world around them.

He's still different after all.

After realizing that Ye Mingke was not a monster who killed people without blinking, the men gradually got along with this clear-eyed and extraordinary cooking boy.

With their help and teaching, Ye Mingke basically mastered the local language of Beihai County in only two days, and even began to learn the official language of Great Xia from Li Han, who was the only one who could speak the official language of Great Xia.

That terrifying learning speed made the group of men who didn't even know much about the difficulty of learning a language want to scold him for being a monster again.

But Ye Mingke actually didn't quite understand what they were wondering about, compared to Aunt Long's Tianyan chess, which started with 366 kinds of chess pieces and 366 algorithms.

He felt that it was a very happy and simple thing to memorize these languages and deduce the rules of language.

Four days later, Ye Mingke learned the official language of Great Xia.

The group of men didn't want to speak anymore, and there was more awe in their eyes when they looked at Ye Mingke.

Compared to Ye Mingke's astonishing physique, it was his intelligence that shocked them even more, which may be the innate respect for wisdom of human beings as the primates of all things.

For thousands of years, there have been many creatures in nature that are physically stronger than humans, but there are only one species that are more intelligent than humans. So when humans encounter monsters that are more intelligent than themselves, the fear they feel will be deeper.

It was also four days later that Li Han's group had harvested many herbs and ores that they had never dared to think of before, and they carried a few packages full of them.

And none of them died or even injured in the process of collecting and exploring.

"We've had so much luck this time. ”

"There are so many things, I can give them to the immortals several times. Is it that there is no need for any one from our village to go to sea here in the past few years?"

"Thanks to Brother Ye, Brother Ye is too fierce. That day, the two or three meters tall spider almost scared me to death, but Brother Ye jumped down from the tree and punched its little head. ”

"Haha, the big spider didn't react at all. ”

"And that green python hid so well in the woods, and wanted to sneak attack us, but it still couldn't hide from Brother Ye's eyes......"

A few days ago, a few people who were almost desperate to be able to gather materials and return home safely sat around the fire a few days later, talking and laughing loudly.

From time to time, they would cast admiring and awe-inspiring glances at the handsome young man who was wiping the sword case not far from the fire.

At this time, the forest was already night, and the firelight could only illuminate the heaven and earth a few feet wide, and the mist and thick night outside the firelight surrounded them, hiding all kinds of strange noises and unknown dangers.

But they weren't afraid, because the boy with the sword box had no warning, and after so many days, they had come to trust his guardian immensely.

Ye Mingke, who was outside the crowd, lowered his head and carefully wiped the sword box across his knees, the sword box was cold and dark, with a piercing chill.

He tried to open the sword box given by his uncle, but failed. This strange sword box was not locked, but he just couldn't open it, and he couldn't find a single crack, like a hollow iron box that had been completely sealed.

But he believed that Uncle would not lie to him.

Although the man's own existence was false, he believed him.

If you can't open it, it's time yet.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow moving towards him on the other side of the firelight, it was Li Han walking towards him.

"Brother Ye. ”

The resolute silent man slowly walked up to him, paused, and sat beside him with some restraint.

He was the only one in the team who didn't call Ye Mingke "Brother Ye" like those who were revered and feared.

Because he is the original big brother in this team, although his ability is so limited, before fully trusting this strange teenager, others can let their guard down, he can't, let alone give up the responsibility of team leader that is extremely heavy for him.

"Brother Ye, why don't you go over there and talk to everyone?"

He spoke, but it was a little unnatural, obviously not comfortable with taking the initiative to chat with a stranger.

Ye Mingke has been silent and out of the crowd in the past few days, except for the time he spent learning the language from them, so they still felt a little unfamiliar with Ye Mingke.

Except for a name, they didn't know where the teenager came from or what he was for.

"I like the quiet, so I just go there. ”

Ye Mingke spoke, his tone was different from his cold appearance, it was very gentle. This is his habit of talking for many years. But when did he become a quiet man?

Rubbing the sword case, he suddenly remembered a quiet girl, and the girl's hazy and beautiful eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a warm smile.

Maybe he likes to be quiet, because when he is quiet, he can silently recall the past of the world that has disappeared, so that he will not forget so quickly.

"That's right. That's good, and I've never been a big fan of lively occasions. ”

Li Han paused and followed Ye Mingke's words.

Ye Mingke wiped the sword box and did not answer Li Han's words again. He has been like this for the past few days, when someone asks him about it, he responds politely and gently, but hardly accepts the words of others.

Xu is because Ye Mingke was very gentle when he got along for a few days, and with the warm smile that Ye Mingke showed just now, Li Han mustered up the courage and decided to ask that question that might be very sensitive.

"Been together for a while. I don't know where Brother Ye came from? Why did you come with us? Do you have a place you want to go?"

Originally, he only wanted to ask one question at first, but in the end, he was worried that he would not be able to ask later, so he simply asked in one breath.

After all, they will be returning soon, and it is always safer to know more about this eccentric teenager.

Ye Mingke's hand wiping the sword box stopped, he raised his head to look at Li Han's face with the firelight on his back, and was silent for a while before he spoke, and there was loneliness hidden in his calm voice.

"I don't belong here, I just strayed into this weird sea with my elders. My elders have passed away to protect me. ”

Ye Mingke paused, he remembered the eyes of the huge white figure that was staring at him at the end, and there was a quiet sadness in his eyes.

"Now I'm just like you, I just want to get out of this sea first. ”

Li Han listened quietly to the young man's words, he could feel the real sad emotions contained in these two simple words, and the young man's words should be sincere and true.

But he soon heard the teenager ask him a strange question.

"Outside, what does it look like?" Ye Mingke looked at him and said seriously.

He felt a little strange about this question, but he couldn't react for a while, and he was stunned for a while.

Ye Mingke saw that he didn't answer, and refined the question again.

"Is it what the outside of this sea is like? Or can you just tell me what your place, your country, is like?"

"Outside?"

Li Han thought for a moment and said.

"This is the Misty Sea, part of the Northern Styx. The adjacent state county was the northernmost county of the Great Xia Dynasty, Beihai County. The village where we live is in Beihai County. ”

"Great Xia Dynasty?"

Ye Mingke asked with some peculiarity.

He knew through the book of things that this was the mortal world, and knew that there was the North Stygian Sea in the north of the mortal world, the wilderness in the south, Zhongzhou in the middle, the Buddha land in the west, and the Penglai Wonderland in the east.

However, there is no mention of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Gewu Shu.

"Don't you know the Great Xia Dynasty?

When he talked about the Great Xia Dynasty, Li Han's eyes shone with bright and proud brilliance.

"The land of China has been vast since ancient times, with many countries and endless wars. But it has hurt our people. It wasn't until the appearance of the Great Xia Dynasty three hundred years ago that it swept Liuhe and unified Shenzhou, which ended the war. ”

"When I was weak, I traveled to Yangjing, the capital of the imperial dynasty. It's really brightly lit, busy, and prosperous. ”

When talking about the capital, Li Han, who has always been calm and rarely talkative, is full of energy, like a flying boy who has returned to his twentieth year.

But in such a prosperous era, how did he change from a flying teenager to a man with gray temples and taciturn when he was just a young man?
