It is difficult for an immortal cultivator to tell his true age, but it would be terrifying if he could keep his appearance like a junior high school student. According to Sima Kun, wouldn't he have already entered the phaseless realm at this age? Even Liu Qingsha can't do it, so Xu Qian doesn't think that the boy Xiao Rui has fixed his appearance at this age through cultivation, but it doesn't mean that he is not a monk. After all, he doesn't enter Qin's state of mind at the age of fifteen or sixteen. That's outrageous.
"No one at home cares about me. My parents have been dead for many years. No one else can care about me. I often run out and wander around by myself."
Although Xiao Rui didn't directly answer his age, his meaning was consistent with the tone of a fifteen or sixteen year old boy. Xu Qian couldn't continue to ask, but he had already identified the boy as a so-called "missing person" in his heart.
He glanced at the Kong Kong Beast following behind him and asked, "How reliable is it? Just now it was acting like a bear, howling incessantly, and now it is actively following it. What if it relapses sometime?"
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "So many people have encountered it, you are the only one who will mess with it. Others who enter the source will not cause trouble if they can. You actually subdued it in the end. Let me tell you, Kong Kong The beast is a monster from the seven-star domain, and it belongs to the high-level monster sequence. It is the dream of many people to have a high-level monster follow them. You actually despise it."
"It's just a seven-star domain monster? It can't be beaten, it loves to cry, and it's still timid. What can it be used for?"
"Haha, it is a bit special, but think about it, if it were a normal Kong Kong beast, could it follow you? It would probably eat you long ago."
"By the way, why is it called Kong Kong Beast? It's a weird name. Is there any explanation?"
Xiao Rui thought for a moment and gave a rough explanation.
"I also heard from others that in the age of immortal gods, the Kong Kong Beast clan has already existed. They have two unique skills, one is to devour space, and the other is to walk in the starry sky. Don't two 'empties' come out? , this is how the Kong Kong beast got its name.”
"Swallowing space? Walking in the starry sky?" Xu Qian turned his head again and glanced at the Kongkong beast, "I can still understand what swallowing space means, but what about walking in the starry sky?"
"It means flying between the stars."
"Both of these abilities are too heaven-defying." Xu Qian couldn't help but look at Kong Kong Beast again. He didn't believe that such a fool could have such heaven-defying abilities.
"Those are just legends, passed down from the age of immortals and gods. In today's era, Kong Kong beasts are not that strong. So no one knows whether they have such ability."
"Meaning they're not that strong?"
"Of course, if they have such ability, how can they just be seven-star domain monsters, dominate the source of monster beasts, and the monster king may change ownership!"
"The Demonic Beast Emperor changed hands? How did this Demonic Beast Emperor come about?"
Xiao Rui looked at Xu Qian strangely, "What the hell is going on with you? You are also someone who is going to enter the Origin. Shouldn't you have figured out these things before you come? You probably wouldn't be able to survive without me. One star field." Xiao Rui shook his head and sighed. This behavior always felt a bit funny when it appeared on a half-grown boy.
"How many ways are there to create a human emperor?"
Xu Qian didn't expect Xiao Rui to ask such a question.
"Inheritance, concession, seizure by force and... popular election." Xu Qian was a little unsure about the last method. This was indeed the case in early Chinese history, but at that time there was no concept of "emperor". Most of them are just tribal leaders.
"The biggest difference between monster society and human society is not in technology, but in civilization. Human society does not only care about force, but in the world of monsters, they only have force in their eyes. The power of the monster emperor is so great that compared to Human emperors are even worse. Demonic beasts also value combat power more than humans, respect the strong more, and have no reason to speak in the face of strength. Their thrones are entirely determined by strength. Whoever is stronger is the emperor, and there is absolutely no other Possibility. If a more powerful monster appears one day, such as it."
Xiao Rui pointed at the Kong Kong Beast behind him, "Then it will replace the old emperor and become the new ruler of this land, of course, provided it is willing to do that."
"You just said that the Monster King is very powerful. How powerful is it?"
"Hehe, let me tell you this. The human emperor does not marry whoever he wants, nor kills whoever he wants. He represents the interests of a class. When doing things, he has to weigh the pros and cons and judge the gains and losses. In short, it is impossible to do it. To really do whatever he wants, he has many things to worry about. The Monster Emperor is different. It can do things according to its own mood. There is always only one thing it needs to consider, and that is the consequences of doing so. Whether its own strength can Settle it. As long as it thinks it can defeat the opponent, then it has no worries. He only represents himself. More importantly, the entire world of monsters also recognizes this."
"So, in the world of monsters, there can't be some kind of power that can make the monster king do things it doesn't want to do?"
"Of course it's impossible. If there is, it can only mean two things. Either this power comes from outside the group of monsters, or the new emperor is born, but the old emperor has not been truly driven out of power." Xiao Rui thought about it. Wanted to correct him: "That's not right. If a new emperor emerges that can defeat the old emperor, it doesn't have to ask the old emperor to do something it doesn't want to do. It can kill the old emperor and just do it himself!"
Xu Qian was thoughtful, thinking about the relationship between Li Xiao and the Monster King. Knowing more about this aspect may help him in his future actions.
Classmate Xiao Xu stopped and looked at Kong Kong Beast. This guy's body looks like a rhinoceros, but he doesn't have rhino horns. His mouth is as big as a hippopotamus, especially the big nostrils, but there are a few hairs growing on the top of his head, two or three of which are straight up. Now if Xu Qian looked at it, he was still grinning. He was definitely a fool.
"Do you have a name?"
It grins...
"Why are you laughing? I asked you if you have a name?"
It continued to grin, even wider.
"Can't it understand what I'm saying?" Xu Qian helplessly asked Xiao Rui for help.
When Xiao Rui saw Xu Qian and Kong Kong Beast performing a comedy, he was already laughing so hard.
"Of course it can understand. Monster beasts have very high IQs, especially those in the seven-star domain and above. They are definitely no worse than humans. There are already many monster beasts in the four-star domain that can simply communicate in human language."
"Then why does it keep giggling? Can't it talk?" Xu Qian was a little angry again. Didn't you do it on purpose, you idiot?
"This should be the way it responds to you." Xiao Rui suppressed his laughter, because he felt that Xu Qian was already pitiful enough, and he couldn't add insult to injury.
"As I said, it is an exception. No one has ever seen it speak. Maybe it really lacks this string. It is bullied because of its stupidity in the Kong Kong beast group. It should be equivalent to an idiot among humans. Bar."
Xu Qian endured his anger and looked at Kong Kong Beast, who was still smiling at him, with an angry face. He didn't expect that this idiot was actually a retarded person?
It is common among humans for mentally retarded children to be bullied by other children, but I never expected that such a thing would also happen in a group of monsters.
Xu Qian thought for a while and felt that this was a poor child, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.
He took two steps forward and said pleasantly: "From now on, you can call me Hanhan. If you want to follow me, you can follow me, but you can't cause trouble for me. Do you understand?"
What Xu Qian didn't expect was that Hanhan first made a loud "whistle" sound with its big nostrils, and then rubbed against Xu Qian with its big mouth.
"What is it doing? Is it expressing joy?"
Xiao Rui touched his chin and said, "Well, it should be. How could it like you so much?"
Xu Qian could only stretch out his hand and pat Hanhan's big head. Anyway, he saw owners treating their dogs like this on TV.
Let's hit a stick and throw a date. Xu Qian recalled that he first beat Hanhan severely, and then gave him a large piece of smoked meat to eat. Maybe this is what this idiot did?
It didn't take long for the two of them and the beast to arrive at the most famous place in the First Star Region - Shang Valley.
Shang Valley is a place where caravans stop and gather along the way. It can also be regarded as a large parking lot. At this time, there are hundreds of cars parked here.
After the caravan arrives here, it will park the car, and then someone will unload the goods and someone will go through the formalities. The so-called procedure is very simple. In fact, it is just asking the monster to check the star stone. Even without the Star Stone, it would be no problem to come to Shang Valley. Xu Qian didn't see any checkpoints or the like along the way. But if there is no star stone, we can only go here. Going forward, we need to check the star stone. Those who pass the test can get a berth in the market of a star region.
