I don’t know how much time passed.
The water surface of Biyuan Lake suddenly began to bubble, as if something was lurking in it.
Not long after, an old man with a bald head and white eyebrows and white beard emerged from the water. Immediately afterwards, a dozen more identical people appeared.
The old man who emerged first saw the devastation everywhere and couldn't help but sighed in surprise: "Did we drift along the underground river to the outside of the secret realm?"
This group of people is the Turtle King and his men. After the Turtle King fell into Zhan Ling's trap when he entered, his men followed him.
Unexpectedly, they were taken to an underground river, and Zhan Ling also arranged various traps in the underground river.
There are not only the extremely poisonous thorn monsters, but also the huge ogre flower army.
The group of them fought bloody battles and finally found a bloody path. Who knew that at this moment, the water in the underground river suddenly surged, and they were all involved in it.
Turtle King and the others drifted along the rapids for a long time before returning to the surface river. As soon as they came out, they felt that the outside world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Turtle King suddenly felt as if he was just starting out and disconnected from society after living in seclusion for many years.
At this time, a leaf floating in Biyuan Lake caught his attention, and he quickly grabbed it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Isn't this the leaf of Zhan Ling Cao?"
"Your Majesty, I also discovered it." Little Demon Armor raised the leaf in his hand and said.
The two people further away said: "Your Majesty, I found the rhizome of Zhanling grass here."
"..."
The people under his command discovered one after another, which made King Turtle think of a possibility and said to himself: "Could it be that this is Biyuan Lake where Zhanling grass is planted? But why is there no trace of Zhanling grass?"
Thinking of this possibility, his long eyebrows came down to form the character "囧".
"Your Majesty, could it be that people from the other three tribes took it away?" Little Monster A speculated.
"Impossible, do you think Zhan Ling is dead?" King Turtle immediately denied his men's speculation. But he never dreamed that what he said casually would be the truth of the matter.
"The magic phone is also lost, otherwise I could ask them for details."
The Turtle King thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply planned to leave the secret realm to find out more about it.
At this time——
"Xiao——"
A bird song pierced the sky, and a huge shadow crossed the water. The Turtle King looked up and saw a big bird gliding past in the sky.
The big bird quickly discovered them and swooped down quickly.
When it was about to reach the water, the big bird transformed into a human form and stood in mid-air. He said respectfully: "Master Turtle King, I am here to take you back."
…………
On the streets of Penglai Immortal Island, Tan Jiajia and Huo Qilin walked together towards the residence of the Orcs after coming out of the Four Spirits Hall.
There was a shadow surrounding the two of them, and they were not playing around as usual.
In this short day, too many changes happened. Not only was the Zhan Lingcao destroyed, but even the Houtu Lingyu, which can nourish all things, was broken into pieces.
This means that Tan Jiajia's wish to use it to resurrect Zeng Qi was shattered.
As for finding Phoenix, Tan Jiajia had no hope at all.
After all, she had seen that Phoenix couldn't even heal Huang Yu's eyes, let alone resurrect a person.
The monsters here are really weak, not as cool as the legend says.
Tan Jiajia chewed her silver teeth into pieces, wrinkled her beautiful nose, and thought bitterly.
At this moment, Fire Qilin suddenly stopped.
Tan Jiajia came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at him in confusion.
But he saw Huo Qilin looking at the mansion in front of him in trance.
Tan Jiajia felt relieved. He would pass by the Scale Hall on his way back to the Animal Hall. Fire Qilin... was thinking about the Dragon Girl.
Thinking of Dragon Girl, Tan Jiajia felt sad.
God is so cruel. It is heartbreaking to see such a beautiful little girl disappear like this. That bastard Wu, it was really an advantage for him to die like this.
Huo Qilin stared at the door of the scale hall, recalling all the past events in his mind.
At this time, he saw the dragon girl walking towards him with a smile, and gently called him "Brother Qilin".
Dragon Girl. Huo Qilin's pupils dilated slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Fire Qilin, Fire Qilin."
The charming Dragon Girl in front of her suddenly turned into Tan Jiajia with a worried look on her face.
Tan Jiajia waved her hand in front of him and shouted, "Are you okay? You look so ugly."
Huo Qilin finally came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, covered the loss in his eyes and said calmly: "I'm fine."
Even though he said this, his steps did not move even an inch.
"Alas." Tan Jiajia looked at his devastated look and could only sigh, patting his back and comforting him.
"My condolences, people can't be resurrected after death. If Dragon Girl sees you like this, she won't feel well."
As she spoke, Tan Jiajia's voice softened. Even she herself could feel how feeble this comfort was.
If a few words could make people forget, then why would he still be searching for a way to resurrect Zeng Qi?
Thinking of Zeng Qi who was still on the ship, Tan Jiajia felt uncomfortable.
The two people, big and small, stopped here. One looked up to the sky and sighed, and the other looked at things and thought about people.
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter came from the half-open door of the scale hall: "Haha, Huo Qilin, I heard that you killed that guy Zhan Ling, I'm really happy."
This man's voice is like a bell, he must be a big shot.
Tan Jiajia stopped her thoughts and secretly speculated in her heart. When she raised her head, she saw a sudden change in the expression on Huo Qilin's face.
After that person finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a square face and cheeks walked out of the hall.
His appearance is not handsome, but he is very comfortable and makes people feel very reliable.
Wearing a dark green robe, the hem of the robe seemed to be wet with water, and the color was a bit darker than other parts.
As soon as the man came out, he continued to say to Huo Qilin: "Huo Qilin, have you seen my little girl? She has always been naughty. This time, when I was drunk, she stole the scale door key and ran here to attend the conference. Now I am here to take care of her. She went back."
After hearing what the other party said, Tan Jiajia understood. No wonder Huo Qilin had such a big reaction. It turned out that Dragon Girl's father had arrived.
She took a step back without leaving a trace, lowered her eyes, and looked wary.
The daughter that King Binglong was looking for had died a day ago, without even leaving a body. I don’t know how he will react then.
Tan Jiajia couldn't help but take a peek at Huo Qilin, and saw that his face was pale, his lips were dry and scaly, and his arms were trembling slightly, as if he was very nervous.
King Binglong turned a blind eye to Tan Jiajia on the side, but the smile on his face did not diminish, and asked Huo Qilin again.
Huo Qilin then put his trembling hand into his arms and took out the corner of clothes that bound the fairy chain and the dragon girl. He pursed his lips, and it took him a long time to say: "Binglong King, I can't help you, Dragon Girl..."
Before he finished speaking, King Binglong snatched the thing away.
Tan Jiajia thought he was about to attack, so she quickly took a step back.
Unexpectedly, the other party just looked at it and put it away, then patted Huo Qilin on the shoulder, smiling like a flower:
"This child, Dragon Girl, is really worrying. She can throw away the protective magic weapon I gave her. When she comes back, I will teach her a lesson. This time I came here and brought a jar of good wine. Fire Qilin, let’s go and have a drink with my brother. Let’s wait for the little girl to come back together.”
With that said, without waiting for Huo Qilin's answer, he dragged him towards the scale hall, and Huo Qilin did not struggle.
"Why……"
Tan Jiajia was about to call him, but the next second she saw him sharply.
Inside the half-open door, the floor of the inner courtyard of the scale hall was dyed red, and a huge pliers fell in her eyes.
With just one glance, the door was closed by King Binglong.
But Tan Jiajia can still confirm that there must be corpses everywhere in the hall at this time. What wetted King Binglong's clothes was not water, but blood.
I'm afraid that King Binglong had already discovered the news that his daughter was dead, and the people under his command were killed by him or ordered to be killed because they failed to protect the dragon girl.
Tan Jiajia looked at the closed red door, pursed her lips, and understood.
Huo Qilin should have noticed it long ago, but he did not escape. It must also be to give an explanation to the father who lost his beloved daughter.
