Chapter 122 Seems to be an old friend
"Huanhuan, no."
Although I couldn't hear the animals' words, the oppressive feeling was very real. It seemed that the negotiation between Changqing and the big black snake was not going well.
So he hurriedly stopped Huanxi who was about to take all the blame.
The black dragon just slowly moved its body closer to Huanxi, and stopped when it was only two steps away.
"Are you her descendant?"
Huanxi didn't know who the "she" in the black snake's mouth was. She raised her eyes and forced herself to remain calm and said:
"Please ask Snake Ancestor to explain."
The woman Ming Yuan mentioned was a woman who had once been a stunning beauty on this continent a hundred years ago. She had just happened to save him and give him some guidance, and he had lived for a hundred years, even surviving the difficult snake-anaconda period.
Now I've been stuck in the Boa Constrictor Stage for a long time, and now I've encountered a human with the same aura as that person. Is this fate?
Looking down at the two humans following these animals of varying sizes, it really was just like when she first met her.
At that time, she was followed by all kinds of animals. She was just a little black snake, but she was willing to take it with her and gave it a name.
But then she vanished for unknown reasons, and the animals she left behind kept searching for her until their lives were almost over. Of those animals from back then... I guess I'm the only one still alive.
Thinking of this, Mingyuan felt a deep bitterness in his heart. He wanted her to see him now. He was no longer the little black snake he had been. He no longer needed her protection, and he still had the strength to protect her. But his old friend was gone after all. Looking at the person before him, he didn't have the same demeanor as her.
Seeing Mingyuan standing still, Zhao Huanxi didn't know what he was thinking and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
While he was thinking about countermeasures, Mingyuan's old voice appeared and said calmly:
"You can come here often in the future... I won't hurt you."
Hearing Mingyuan's slightly sad words, Zhao Huanxi's heart slowly returned to her stomach. The black dragon had only stared at her in a daze since it appeared, and hadn't done anything to hurt her.
It was that feeling of oppression that almost made her unable to breathe.
"Thank you, Snake Ancestor, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful."
After saying these words happily, he looked at Xu Qingzhao behind him, smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that there was no danger.
After the black dragon finished speaking, it stayed there for a while and then returned to its own cold pond.
As the waves in the water calmed down, everyone finally felt relieved.
"Qing Zhao, it's okay. The black dragon just came out to see who I am. It has no ill intentions."
Her legs lost strength in an instant and she collapsed to the ground.
"Huanhuan!"
Xu Qingzhao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He threw the sword in his hand and steadily caught Huanxi who was about to fall to the ground.
The animals around her also came closer to observe her situation carefully.
"Oh, I just left for a while, haha, how did it become like this?"
The panda suddenly appeared out of nowhere and made this sarcastic remark.
Huanxi really suspected that this guy did it on purpose, just to take revenge for the last time Brother Tai beat it up when it went into the mountains.
"Qing Zhao, I'm fine. I just stood for too long and my legs are numb."
She smiled embarrassedly. The smell of Xu Qingzhao was really pleasant. She felt her nervous mood relaxed all of a sudden.
Xu Qingzhao helped her up and said with lingering fear, "I've never seen a creature like this before. What is this?"
"The snake turns into a python, the python turns into an anaconda, the anaconda turns into a dragon. This dragon turns into a dragon. This one is a dragon, named Mingyuan. I don't know how many years it has existed in this world. It must be quite powerful. I'm so scared."
She patted her chest and was terrified. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, everyone present would not be a match for this black dragon.
But this black dragon said that she was the descendant of someone... The original owner's ancestors were all honest farmers, so it can only be her in modern times.
He also said that he had the aura of an immortal...
They are definitely not my biological parents. If there is anything strange... it can only be my grandmother.
She looked up at the sky, feeling lost in thought: Grandma, who are you? She felt more and more that Grandma was something special. This wasn't just a hunch. It was a result of all the details from her childhood, corroborated by her memories.
I sighed. It has been almost three or four months since I came to the ancient times. I have begun to get used to the ancient life. Suddenly I thought of my grandma and felt like crying again.
"Brother Tai, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, thank you for speaking up for me just now. I will remember it."
Tai Ge rolled his eyes: "Huanhuan, what are you talking about? Our relationship."
"Yes, Huanhuan, you said we are family."
Xiaobai also wagged his tail: "Family, family."
Huanxi laughed, and this time it was a laugh from the heart.
I didn't have any real family in the modern world, but I accidentally traveled to ancient times. I have three sweet little girls. And three animals to protect me. They are all my family, the family I found for myself.
I still have many good friends, Qing Zhao, Hong Ying, and Yu Yan. Life here is not as colorful as in modern times, but it is also full of flavor.
Don't overthink it, just accept what has happened. Live in the present moment, that's the most important thing.
So the two of them dug up the remaining torch ginger and explored the surrounding area, finding a lot of good things. They also accidentally discovered a cave.
It's getting late, so it's time to go home. I'll explore again next time.
Everything was packed up neatly. Brother Tai and Xiaobai carried some medicinal herbs on their backs, and more were put in backpacks, which they carried back home slowly.
Before leaving, he bowed in the direction of the cold pond and said respectfully:
"Junior thanks Snake Ancestor for his generosity!"
A faint voice came from the water: "I understand, please retreat."
After hearing this, he stuffed the remaining snacks into the panda's mouth. Huanxi then led the animals and Qingzhao on their journey home.
"Huanhuan, why don't you sit on my back?"
Brother Tai carries medicinal herbs that can be pressed on his back, so it doesn't matter what it does to him.
"The things I'm carrying are extremely delicate. If they get hurt while sitting on your back, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
Brother Tai snorted, led Xiaobai and walked ahead, no longer paying attention to Huanxi.
Huanxi knew that Brother Tai was a proud person, so she smiled, shook her head and let it go.
"Huanhuan, do you want to know the origins of the Nether Abyss Snake Ancestor?"
After hearing Xiaoqing's words, Huanxi was really interested. Although the basket on his back was a little heavy, he couldn't resist the urge to gossip, so he said with a smile:
"I heard from the old snake inside that the Nether Abyss Snake Patriarch was enlightened by an immortal a hundred years ago, which is why he got this opportunity. I also heard that immortals have a strange fragrance on their bodies, so when I saw you for the first time, I thought you were an immortal."
Xiaoqing strolled slowly, just enough to keep up with the two of them.
Huanxi thought about it and asked, "I remember the first time I saw you, it was on the edge of a cliff. Back then, you already knew human language and understood human nature. But what are the opportunities?"
"I haven't had any opportunities. I just go to a cave on the cliff every year when I hibernate. There seems to be spiritual energy there, which makes me sleep very comfortably."
I see. I thought Xiaoqing's cave was on the cliff edge, but now I know it's just where it hibernates. That cliff is so beautiful and charming, it's obviously a place with spiritual energy. Xiaoqing is quite picky.
