Yu Peng sat on the black snake and looked at the other snakes a few hundred meters away that were still devouring the poisonous snake's carcass. He thought of a link and asked.
"I have a question. I'm very curious. You are a male snake, right? Then how did you produce so many children?"
Yu Peng was embarrassed to say the word "birth". After all, it was quite embarrassing to ask a male snake how to give birth. But, Yu Peng also really wanted to know. It was obviously a male snake. When he came in, he was the only one. So where did these venomous snakes and pythons, which are obviously its descendants, come from?
Black Snake didn't know what Yu Peng was thinking, so he responded quickly and neatly without any hesitation.
"When I came from where I came from, I swallowed some of my babies and spit them out here. Then when they grew up, they were giving birth to babies, and then there were so many."
"But they are all my children"
"Oh okay, I know"
It turns out that this is the case. Yu Peng has been wondering for a long time. How did a male snake produce at least hundreds of thousands of venomous snakes?
"What about their mother?"
"I was killed by those Taoist priests where I used to live."
I understand, why is it like a fish? There seems to be a kind of fish that is accustomed to swallowing the larvae into its mouth to protect it, and then spitting it out after confirming that it is safe. It seems that kangaroos also have cubs like this.
Hey, it’s really hard to be an animal. It’s even harder to be a spiritual animal.
It's really not easy for the black snake. In the original place, just because he gave birth to a spiritual snake, he was hunted down by Taoist priests. His wife and children were separated. After arriving here, he was trapped here again with no chance to get out. , I’m afraid now it has forgotten what the outside world is like.
As for the source of food in this place, looking at the devoured snake corpses, Yu Peng also understood that everything here is self-sufficient.
The big snake eats the little snake, and the little snake eats the little snake. It is such a cycle. A bunch of them are born, part of which is used as food, and the rest waits for them to give birth to little snakes, and eat some of them.
That is to say, there is no human cultural structure among animals, and there is no hesitation in the survival of the weak and the strong.
However, it cannot be said that this is the difference between animals and humans. Even if humans are brought in, they will eat each other to survive without any food. It is not that this has never happened. When there was famine in ancient times, didn't it happen? Giving each other children to cook is recorded in real history.
In modern times, there are also news reports overseas, saying that a group of people were trapped and had no choice but to survive by eating the corpses of their companions.
It’s all about survival. When survival is difficult, who still has the energy to talk about humanistic ethics? Only when you are alive can you have the opportunity to talk about human nature and judge whether what you are doing is right or wrong.
Thinking of this, Yu Peng said to Black Snake
"I'll take her away, what about you?"
Black Snake was obviously a little excited when he heard Yu Peng said that he was going to take away his child. When the corpse spoke, the shaking frequency of its body increased a lot.
"As long as you can take her away, it doesn't matter to me. It takes as long as it takes."
Yu Peng thought to himself, how long can you live? This place will be taken care of by others soon, so I just want to come over and take a look at the situation before they come in.
"It won't be long before a lot of people come in here, partly for the gold, partly for you. A snake with your body and special powers will be captured and raised by many large sects, or Let’s talk about cultivation.”
"Those stones? There are quite a few here. If you like, you can take them away."
The black snake doesn't know the value of gold in the human world. In its eyes, it is no different from ordinary stones, it just looks better.
He had no idea what Yu Peng said next.
"As for you saying that I was captured and raised, let's talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, I don't want to, but if I can't defeat them, there's nothing I can do."
Yes, this black snake is really
If you can't fight, fight, if you can't fight, run. If you can't run, there's nothing you can do. If you can live, live, if you can't, die. It's that simple.
Looking at the little white snake curled up next to his calf, Yu Peng stretched out his hand and caught the little white snake in his hand. The little white snake did not resist, but twisted its body and coiled itself into a ball, nestling in Yu Peng's hand, with a pair of smart little snakes. Staring at Yu Peng
The little white snake is not big to begin with, about half a meter and as thick as a finger, and is just right for Yu Peng to hold in his hand.
It's just that Yu Peng feels that the weight of this little snake is a bit excessive. Although the body is small, it weighs several hundred kilograms. He doesn't know what the situation is.
Thinking of this, Yu Peng asked casually.
"Has she always been this little?"
"No, she can get bigger, but every time she gets bigger, she will crush many other children, and then she won't be like that anymore."
….
"oh"
Yu Peng was immediately shocked. This little guy has the ability to transform! If it is a spirit body that can transform, it would be understandable. After all, it is an energy body and can change at will. But the little white snake is a physical creature. She is not like those manufactured bodies in the extreme realm. She can still have this I have never seen this skill before. When I get the chance, I must let the little guy show it off.
"Then what else can she do?"
"have no idea"
"Don't you have some other powers or something?"
"have no idea"
Well, at this time, Black Snake started to become dull again.
Just after a second thought, Yu Peng accepted it.
Human consciousness and thinking habits are different from those of animals
Many times, the expression of human cognitive skills and abilities is just an instinctive reaction or daily behavior for animals.
The same goes for the little fox back then. If you ask it what it knows, it really can't answer. But if you need it and ask, it can dig into the ground to find treasures, and it can use its body to light up as a heater. But these are... In its concept, it is a very daily and casual behavior that has no name.
After checking the time, Yu Peng came here a little long, so he stood up and said to Black Snake
"Okay, let's do that. I'll take the little white snake away. As for you, I suggest you wait until those people come. Don't resist too much. If you are captured by them, you can still survive and meet your children in the future. The opportunity, if you die, you will never see it again.”
"Okay, I listen to you"
After confirming these, Yu Peng first carefully processed the traces of himself here.
These traces are mainly the influence of spiritual energy and magnetic field escaping from the body, ensuring that no clues will be discovered by those big guys.
As long as you leave a little trace here, such as spiritual energy fluctuations, molecular fragments of the body, and magnetic field interference, those big guys can capture it, then enlarge it, and detect your traces
You can do this yourself, and Yu Peng believes that those who are awesome or monks who are better than him can also do it easily.
After letting Little White Snake and Black Snake's father say hello, and clearing away these traces, Yu Peng opened the rift in the sky again and walked in with Little White Snake.
I'm really going home this time
I don’t know what happened to Yang Yanbin and Li Jianfei after they returned.
But come to think of it, there shouldn't be anything special about it. These gold nuggets are a huge amount of wealth for ordinary families, but to them, they are equivalent to a business deal.
After returning to his home, Yu Peng briefly introduced the situation of the home. The little white snake also seemed very happy. After staying with Yu Peng for a while, he started running around in the house and was unwilling to stop for a moment.
Yu Peng didn't bother to care about her. This child had been kept in a dark stone cave since she was a child, never seeing the light of day. Now that she was finally out, let her have fun.
She may not know yet how much trouble and danger her father will face. Maybe she doesn’t understand these, so she just came out of there and completely forgot about what happened in the cave.
Carefree like a child
Three days passed like this. On the morning of the fourth day, Yu Peng still received a call from Yang Yanbin.
Returning to the house he bought in Beijing again, Yang Ruxin went to work. Yang Yanbin was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Yu Peng coming back, he happily said hello.
"Brother Yu is back home. Welcome."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Hey, isn't this with Brother Yu, reporting on the progress of the work?"
Seeing Yu Peng's expression, Yang Yanbin responded with a smile.
"This mission has been very fruitful, and all the major families have received great benefits. As one of the heroes, today the major families have calculated their portion of your reward and will explain it to you."
"Oh, just call and say no, why do you have to call me over?"
Yang Yanbin made a gesture of helplessly spreading his hands, then pointed at the mobile phone still on the table, and rubbed it around his ear a few times.
Yu Peng understands that electronic communication equipment is within the scope of monitoring. This information cannot be said over the phone.
Moreover, Yang Yanbin signaled Yu Peng to give him his cell phone. After turning off both of them, he sent it to the farthest room, returned again, and then said to Peng
"Say it simply and clearly. You won't want to listen if I talk too much."
Seeing Yu Peng nodding, Yang Yanbin's facial expression became more serious and said
"That secret space, after we completed the mission, was stationed by these families that night. The next day, several people from the Quanzhen Sect, Tangmen, Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Dao, and Shangqing Sect Elder, go in and clean it up personally and kill all the snakes inside. That afternoon, the Li family, the Wang family, the Gao family, and the Qian family of the hidden family will arrange for a prospecting team to go in and measure the situation of the gold mine."
"Last night, these data were sent over. The number of gold mines, in addition to those that have been moved away by major families, is about five hundred tons. Although it is lower than expected, it is better than these gold mines. It is a high-density raw ore and should be handled easily.”
"It's not yet clear when this space was formed and why there are these gold mines. But this is not something I can participate in. After all, my status in the family is not that high and I can get This information is still because of your relationship."
"As I said before, you will get one-tenth of the total from each major family in return. The total is about more than 20 billion, but this amount is too large, and you still need to go through some formalities and procedures before it can reach your I have it in hand, so the major families are asking for your opinion, whether to give it to you bit by bit in the form of fixed annual dividends, or to exchange it for you into real estate."
Yu Peng thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no difference between the two, so he asked Yang Yanbin how to get it right.
"Actually, I realized it later. The major families invited you to participate in the mission and were willing to reward you in proportion. They actually wanted to connect with you and bundle their interests. There is really no difference between the two for you. If it is dividends, they may sign some agreements with you, join a company of a major family, go through formal procedures and pay taxes, and give you dividends every year. If it is exchanged for real estate, it will actually come from the assets of these families. , I will give you a head of household who can ensure long-term interests with you."
"But I suggest you choose half of each. This way, there will be enough funds flowing in, and if the property in your hand increases in value in the future, you will be more profitable."
Yu Peng thought for a moment and responded.
"That's okay, but I don't quite understand."
"It's okay. Nu Skin will help you with this. Nu Skin owns an accounting company. Just let her take over the job. You don't have to worry about anything. When you need money, just ask her to give it to you."
"Okay, then I don't care."
Yu Peng still feels at ease and trusts these brothers and sisters of the Yang family.
Speaking of this, Yu Peng suddenly asked
"Where's the black snake?"
"Black snake? Is it the one that entered the mountain? It's dead!"
Seeing Yu Peng frowning, Yang Yanbin explained.
"Jian Fei told me that before the elders of several major sects joined forces to enter that space, they wanted to conquer them. After all, it is rare for snakes to grow to such a big size, so they joined forces with several major sects. Take action, but when they entered that space, the black snake launched a fierce attack. No matter how many elders tried to persuade and think of ways, they couldn't stop it."
"The last black snake used some techniques to detonate its spiritual energy and body. It is said that there was a lot of noise at that time. The cities around Miyun were affected, and they thought it was an earthquake."
"oh"
Yu Peng whispered in a low voice.
Although there was such a result among my countless conjectures, but it really happened, I still felt a little disappointed in my heart.
This black snake has clearly promised himself that he will not resist.
But Yu Peng also understood that Black Snake was actually trying to protect his children, and with his own death, he completely cut off other humans in the world from coveting their children.
Yu Peng also knows that as long as Black Snake is still alive, other cultivators may be able to spy on the secrets of their hearts.
The safest way to keep a secret secret is for the person who knows the secret to die
Yu Peng felt that in her own personal space, the little white snake curled up and shed tears silently, but fortunately, she did not riot or make other violent reactions.
It seems that she already knew the outcome when she said goodbye to her father.
Maybe in the animal world view, there are not so many complex emotions, and the view of life and death is lighter.
Yang Yanbin didn't know what Yu Cheng was thinking, so he pursed his lips and said to Yu Cheng
"I have a personal matter and I want to ask you for help."
"Okay, you say"
