The news that Qi Xiu used the precious second feather to pass on was just for Xiao Hei to find a way to persuade Mo Yunguan to flee south and leave the range of the Lion Awakening Valley, and it was the idea of the four-winged sky eagle that followed Zhao Yao to persuade the old lion.

"Lord Moyunguan definitely doesn't want to leave, he only listens to the king's words, it is better to go to the king for help. The four-winged Sky Eagle who followed Zhao Yao south to the Wild Bull Wasteland said. After Zhao Yao completely lost his normal mind, the small group faintly thought that the four-winged eagle had the highest IQ, although because of the different genders, he could only live outside the cave aggrievedly, doing the work of watching the wind and watching the door, but still with a few good suggestions, he gradually helped everyone to gain a firm foothold in the Wild Bull Wasteland, and won the trust of the human face snake and Xiao Hei.

Of course, that's what Qi Xiu didn't know.

"Yes...... It's like this, there are many, very bad human beings who have entered the valley......"

"They take us everywhere and kill us ......"

"That stupid pig is necrotic and loves to trick or treat our sisters, it's ...... Well...... Well...... He deliberately drove a litter of skunks into our hole last time and almost got ...... Smoked to death ......"

"Also...... And one more time...... It unites a whole bunch of its fox friends to grab turf, yes...... It's the kind of real fox and dog, there are too many mountains and fields to count, but I was scared away by Sister Little Snake's move, ha......"

On the wasteland, Xiao Hei obediently hugged his wings to his chest, and spoke in a milky voice, due to nervousness, his words were intermittent, and there was the old problem of digressing for thousands of miles if he didn't pay attention to it.

"And the old bear, I heard that he is now surrounded, very dangerous, yes, Lord Moyun is also very dangerous, although they have a bad temper, but in fact, they are all good friends, Uncle Moyun gave me delicious food last time, that fruit is very beautiful, and it is also the best thing I have ever eaten in my life...... Well...... Well...... And ......"

After saying a long time, but getting no response, Xiao Hei plucked up the courage to look up, and finally found that his only audience didn't seem to be very interested in the topic. The old lion rested his head comfortably on his forelimbs, his eyelids drooped at some point, and the sound of even breathing fell together, and he fell asleep.

"Uh......"

The other party's reaction was beyond expectations, Xiao Hei's little head couldn't turn for a while, the two wingtips were tangled in his chest for a long time, and he regretted that he didn't listen to Rhubarb's Jianyi, and scolded the four-winged Sky Eagle who had a bad idea, and he didn't dare to leave like this, so he could only say "King, go and save them!"

There was still no response.

In the white world of spiritual power, the human figure of the old lion lay lazily on a pile of books, his eyes staring deeply at a place under the messy golden hair, silent in thought.

"Those who do great things, don't care about temporary gains and losses, you have come out, why should you think about turning back?" The one-armed Yuan Ying not far away recognized that he saw the hesitation in his heart, and his soul body sent out a spiritual power fluctuation to persuade.

The old lion didn't answer, and his expression became more solemn.

After getting along for a long time, the one-armed Yuan Ying already has some understanding of his character, so he is not interested.

After a long time, the old lion really took the initiative to break the silence and said solemnly: "I have read a lot of your human books, and for me, most of them are useless ......"

"Yes, you have finally opened your mind! I have long said that human beings are shallow and faint, and most books are just calculating the improvement of some small strength, and this is the last thing you need to learn if you are gifted with supernatural powers!" ”

The old lion nodded in agreement, and rarely did not ask any further.

"As long as I teach you, you can dominate this world!" The one-armed Yuan Ying felt that this was a sign that the old lion's trust in his family had reached a higher level, and immediately seized the opportunity to continue to agitate for the great cause.

"What is hegemony, what can hegemony be?" said the old lion slowly, "I mean that most books are useless to me, but a few books are still good, such as the kind of ...... that teaches people how to face their hearts."

The one-armed Yuan Ying's heart tightened, "Which school? The kind of people who teach people to endure and be a turtle with a shrunken head in every way are all crooked." He was deeply afraid that the old lion would enter some school of Buddhism that was obedient, which would be detrimental to his own plans.

"I don't know any genres, I just feel like they're all talking about the same thing. The old lion shook his head, "For example, I, since I monopolized that valley, have been in a daze until now, how many years have passed? How much is going on out there? Not interested. Between wind and rain and frost and snow, lethargy and wakefulness, my strength naturally became stronger day by day, as if the heavens were like this, and there was no need to pay a trace of energy for it. But ......"

The old lion stood up, "I don't know when something suddenly appeared next to me, like a sharp stone under me, and when I was sleeping, I would always be slammed when I turned over, but there was no way to move it away......"

"What is it?" asked the one-armed Yuanying.

"According to your human books, it's a kind of 'love'. The old lion replied, "According to you human beings, my previous actions were all driven by 'instinct', but since the arrival of this 'emotion', I have broken free from the shackles of instinct and have since become another me, a more ......."

"How do you humans define that?" he asked.

"Stronger, smarter?" replied the one-armed infant tentatively.

"No, no, no. The old lion shook his head, his hand casually brushing the whiskers on the side of his mouth, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be ...... More advanced, more spiritual?"

"Uh......" The one-armed Yuan Ying was slightly embarrassed, "Those are all the words used by the Royal Beast Gate to distinguish beasts, you must know that they are your natural enemies, don't be bound by their thoughts." ”

"No, no, no. The old lion shook his head again, picked out the [Ancient Art of War Collection Notes] printed under the book from the pile of books, opened it and read: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not ......be defeated in a hundred battles."

"Ahem...... You're right. The one-armed Yuan Ying was a little embarrassed, but he reacted extremely quickly, and simply followed the topic, "You are still inferior to the strength of the Royal Beast Gate, so we have to avoid its edge first, go to the south to expand our power, and then ...... when the time is ripe."

"Nope. The old lion still shook his head, "I originally planned to do so, but the arrival of the little black bird outside has triggered my kind of 'affection'." ”

"Uh...... Dare to ask what kind of love is it?" asked the one-armed Yuanying.

"I didn't know much about it, but just now I heard the little black bird talk about the miserable state of the beasts in the valley, and a vague shadow gradually appeared in my heart. The old lion's speech suddenly became faster, "Yes, I understand!" He clapped his hands and said excitedly: "At first, I thought that kind of emotion was called 'anger'!"

"Angry?"

"Yes, since the breath of your humanity has come nearer, since the day the she-elephant died, since my territory has been trampled on, since the creatures of the valley have begun to die at the hands of men......"

"I see!" The mental fluctuations of the one-armed primordial soul body also became violent, which was caused by excitement, "That's right! There are many scum in our human race, and their greedy and cruel behavior has inspired your realization, and you are beginning to feel angry at the misery of your kind! ”

"No, no, no," the old lion shook his head like a rattle, "what is my kind? an elephant or a pig?" he sneered from his nostrils, "the lion closest to me, I have eaten not ten thousand, but eight thousand, why should I be angry with them? Why should they make me angry?"

"So?" "So?" the one-armed infant felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to control the lion, "By the way, when did I have the illusion that I could control him?" and could only laugh self-deprecatingly in his heart.

"I couldn't figure it out at first, this kind of emotion made me very uncomfortable, but I couldn't grasp it, I couldn't recognize it, was it anger? It seems to be yes, but why am I angry, why are I angry?" The old lion walked around excitedly, circled several times, and suddenly stopped, motionless.

"Why are you angry?" the one-armed infant knew that the other party had received an answer.

"Alas......"

The old lion let out a long sigh, "I finally understood today that anger comes from fear. ”

"What are you afraid of?"

"A force greater than me, a force that threatens my life. ”

Xiao Hei found that the eyelids of the old lion in front of him were shaking.

"Anyone stronger than you?"

"Yes, definitely! I remember yes, but it just came and went. ”

The lion's eyelids finally opened again, and his gaze turned to the far north, and a faint coercion descended, making Xiao Hei unable to move and unable to speak.

"Gone?who?" The one-armed Yuan Infant's mind turned sharply, "Qiyun Heaven and Earth Peak Throne Master?Imperial Beast Gate Town Guarding Spirit Beasts?They're not as strong as you, aren't they?"

"I don't know any Heaven and Earth Peak Lord, nor do I know any Guardian Spirit Beast, and my fear doesn't come from a certain person or a beast. ”

"That's?"

"Like the death of the female elephant in the north. ”

"The opening war in the depths of the White Mountain?" "What you fear is actually the ability of us humans to unite and cooperate and kill powerful individuals like you with collective strength. ”

"It's almost close. The lion no longer lay on his stomach, but stood up from the yellow sand, and in front of his majestic and huge body, Xiao Hei felt that he was just an inconspicuous speck of dust, pitifully small.

"Because of fear, so angry. Angry at your strength, and angry at me recognizing my fears. It was as if I was reminiscent of the time when I was a child, and in that memory that is too old to be clear, I was accidentally surrounded by a group of 'smart' coyotes......"

"And then?"

"I won, I'm standing here. ”

The lion's eyes flashed, and his strong and pure willpower erupted, as if it could cover everything in heaven and earth.

Xiao Hei fainted.

"If you are as strong as me, you may still be defeated by the weak. In the spiritual sea, the humanoid phantom touched the books scattered around him with his foot, "Because of fear, I chose to study, maybe this is the path that you humans call 'ancient beasts' would not have chosen." ”

"I see. "If you think about it carefully, this is actually the same thing as the purpose of entering the valley, isn't the guru just trying to create a power that can shake the foundation of this realm?" He said.

"No, you haven't. I started learning before I recognized my fears, so it wasn't because it led me to find a way to restrain my fears, but because of the 'acting instincts' that you humans criticize, so it's actually instinct that guides me to find ways to help myself. ”

"Uh......" the one-armed Yuan Ying was a little dizzy, "So what's the difference?"

"Now, for example, instinct tells me to go back, to fight, to defeat any enemy who dares to covet my territory, and the result of learning is the opposite. ”

The lion's knees are slightly bent, and his perfectly athletic body seems to have accumulated explosive power, ready to rise into the air at any time.

"Isn't this going around again?" the one-armed Yuan Ying smiled, "If you still act on instinct, your fate will be no different from that female elephant! Isn't this the purpose of your study? You are more sensible, and understand that there are some things that can be given up temporarily, and that is to be able to regain them a hundredfold and a thousand times in the future!"

"No!"

The male lion held his head firmly high, his silver-white mane fluctuating like a wave, shining in the sun.

"What I fear is not the power that threatens my life, but the failure, the ...... I fear"

"It's the power that can make me lose my pride!"

"I know every mountain, every river, and I know every one of your human beings who crawls at my feet, called the 'Primordial Infant Ancient Beast', who are confronted with my irreversible power, and can only carefully restrain their pride in exchange for the right to live, the territory, and the ...... My generous protection. ”

The male lion looked at his feet, and an invisible force lifted Xiao Hei, who had fainted to the ground, and threw him into the invisible distance at will.

"I must fight! to live up to my pride......"

"Why did you suddenly lose your brain!?" The one-armed Yuan Infant Soul Body emitted violent mental fluctuations, "Even if you can beat humans for a while, you can't protect the Awakening Lion Valley I at all, you don't understand this! Why do you want to send your brain to death? Do you read those books and lose your brain? An ancient beast suddenly opened its mouth to be proud, generous, and protective...... It's ridiculous! Wake up! This decision will kill you!"

"I have never been so awake in my eternal life. ”

"Whew!" a terrifying lion's roar shocked all the creatures in the Wild Bull Wasteland to the ground, and the bruised Avatar Bull was no exception.

"I will leave, but before I can do so, I must prove who is the master of what you call 'Lion Valley,' and declare to you that I will one day return again! Then I will not only take back my valley, but I will also be the sole master of all the land beneath the white and black peaks! Storms and rains and snow, seasons and flowers, every plant and tree, every living being is my subject, and reverence is exchanged for mercy, and humility is exchanged for protection...... My protection. ”

"What is the White Mountain, the White Mountain, the Black Mountain?" the one-armed Yuan Ying doubted.

This time there was no answer, and the human figure of the old lion had dissipated.

The yellow sand rises in the sky, the male lion kicks the ground on his hind legs, jumping into the boundless sky, time and space seem to be disturbed by something, and the nearby qiē seems to be on the edge of reality and illusion, and there is no existence in the world that can see where he is, and can only judge the general trajectory according to a strange rainbow that runs straight to the north and flows like colored light and oil.
