Tianyu City is a remote town in Qingrui Kingdom and the city closest to Zhaojiazhuang.

Li Tai'an looked at the broken city wall in front of him. They came here after leaving Zhaojiazhuang.

After the last discussion, Li Tai'an and the others quickly went to find the location of the Underworld Tianhe, but by the time they arrived, the Underworld Tianhe had disappeared.

All that was left was a messy open space.

The underworld Tianhe disappeared. To be precise, it left.

The condition for Tianhe in the underworld to leave is that Dang Kang returns to Tianhe in the underworld.

Therefore, Li Taian immediately took out the book of strange beasts and began to look for traces of Dangkang.

Slowly, they arrived at the location of Tianyu City.

"Will the Tianhe of the Underworld be here?" Lin Yunbo asked, looking at the city in front of him.

Li Tai'an shook his head, not to deny Lin Yunbo's statement, but even he was not sure.

"That's not clear. The Tianhe of the Underworld is a very strange river. As long as Kang enters the Tianhe, the Tianhe of the Underworld can change its appearance at will. So I'm not sure what the Tianhe of the Underworld looks like now.

.”

Zhao Qiang also asked at this time: "Why do we have to look for the Tianhe River in the Underworld? I have seen that river before. It is so weird. Even Zhao Zhonglin and the others didn't know what it was, so they didn't bother easily."

He has lived in Zhaojiazhuang for a long time, and he is also aware of the strange river.

"The Tianhe of the Underworld is not important. What is important is the strange beasts inside and where they go." Rouge replied.

Li Tai'an also recalled at this time: "The alien beast Dangkang and the alien beast Ming She are mortal enemies. As long as one of them appears, the other will inevitably appear. This is their fate. When the two meet, they will inevitably fight to the death."

These things are recorded in detail in the Records of Strange Beasts.

"Why?" Lin Yunbo asked, "Is it because one is a beast of auspiciousness and the other is a beast of disaster?"

According to folk records, Dangkang can herald a good harvest and bring good weather, making it an auspicious beast.

Moreover, the singing snake will not only bring severe drought, but also a large number of famines, causing devastation to all living beings. Therefore, it is also regarded as a representative of disaster.

"Of course that's not the case. There are many auspicious beasts, and there are also many disaster beasts. This is not the reason why they are mortal enemies." Li Tai'an said again.

"According to legend, in ancient times, after the heaven and earth first opened, a large number of rare and exotic animals were bred, and Ming Snake and Dangkang were also bred at that time.

In the most remote part of the world, there is a black and white mountain. Two strange creatures live on the mountain, a big snake with four wings and a white pig with teeth.

The big snake is the strange beast called Snake, and the little pig is the strange beast Dangkang.

Song Snake lives on the white mountain, and Dangkang lives on the black mountain. Although they are the same mountain, they can be distinguished because of their colors, but they can never meet each other.

Although they have always lived on Shuangse Mountain, they do not disturb or entangle each other.

It was not until humans appeared that this situation was broken.

Human beings were very weak at that time, and any disaster would cause great harm to them.

Song Snake couldn't bear to see this scene, so he left Shuangse Mountain and went to the human world, absorbing all disasters into his body, hoping to protect and save mankind.

But later, due to absorbing a lot of disasters, his body was too weak, and he collapsed on the way back to Shuangse Mountain.

All the disasters in his body exploded in an instant, sweeping across the entire human world.

People once again suffered from the pain caused by disaster, so they regarded the singing snake as a symbol of disaster.

Shuangse Mountain was also affected by the disaster and was in turmoil.

This also alarmed Dangkang on Shuangse Mountain.

He left Shuangse Mountain and began to resolve the disaster. After he left, people's crops began to grow and the earth began to recover, once again bringing life to the earth.

Therefore, humans regard Dangkang as a symbol of auspiciousness."

"Then it seems that why did Ming She and Dang Kang become mortal enemies? Their ideas may be different, but their actions are not contradictory?" Lin Yunbo asked again.

Li Tai'an sighed and said: "Actually, that's not the case. Ming She really wants to save mankind and resolve disasters without asking for anything in return; but when Kang just wants to prevent the disaster from disturbing his rest, the two have different ideas.

Fundamentally it’s still very different.”

"But that's not enough to make them mortal enemies, right?" Zhao Qiang also said.

Li Tai'an nodded, "That's true. If the matter ends here, it won't really matter.

When Kang did not return to Shuangse Mountain after resolving the disaster, he fell in love with the food grown by humans, and humans regarded him as an auspicious beast and were willing to offer their own food.

But as Dangkang became more and more greedy, he no longer satisfied the food provided by humans. He began to harm farmland and began to seize food.

After recovering, Song Snake saw this scene and came out to stop him again.

A big war broke out between the two sides, and the fight was fierce.

Ming She didn't want the aftermath of the war to affect the people, so he moved the battlefield to the sky.

But he was injured after all and was no match for Dang Kang, and was knocked to the ground by Dang Kang again.

The remaining power of disaster in the body lost its suppression and burst out again.

In order to protect his own food, Dang Kang once again saved mankind.

Therefore, human beings attributed all the destruction to the singing snake and gave all the factors of happiness to Dangkang.

The frustrated Ming She decided not to interfere in worldly affairs anymore and returned to Shuangse Mountain to live there.

Dang Kang continued to stay in the world.

But humans did not let go of the Snake. They found the Shuangse Mountain and thought that the black mountain was the home of the Snake, so they hollowed out the black mountain and refined it little by little.

When Dangkang was satisfied, he returned to Shuangse Mountain and found that the place where he lived was gone. He was very angry and blamed everything on Ming Snake.

A war broke out between the two sides again, and then the first-generation Celestial Master appeared and subdued them into the Book of Alien Beasts, hoping to resolve the conflict between the two sides."

"So, Kang still thinks that his home was destroyed by the Snake, so he keeps looking for revenge on the Snake?" Lin Yunbo felt a little unacceptable about this story.

Li Tai'an could only say: "I don't know this either. These are just the records in the Alien Beast Record. They may be incorrect. Only they themselves know the specific reasons."

As soon as Li Tai'an finished speaking, Tianyu City opened the city gate.

Because of the famine, there were countless refugees outside the city. At this moment, they rushed forward quickly, hoping to gain hope of life.

But the defenders in the city rushed out, and with the swords in their hands, they directly hacked to death the two refugees who rushed forward the fastest.

The soldiers behind were also merciless. As long as the refugees rushed into the city, they would chop them to death with their swords.

In the face of natural disasters, human life is so cheap.

Li Tai'an did not step forward to stop them. Although he wanted to save these people, he also knew what impact it would have if these refugees rushed into the city.

After the refugees stabilized, the defenders in the city brought out two large buckets of white porridge.

It is said to be white porridge, but there are not a few grains of rice floating on it.

These two buckets are more like boiling water mixed with beige.

But even so, many refugees still rushed forward.

The defenders had to use iron fist measures again to maintain a certain order.

After Li Tai'an and the others stabilized the refugees, they slowly walked into the city.

They handed over the customs clearance certificate and entered Tianyu City.

Regarding the scene outside the city, few people said anything.

Under the natural disaster, it is so cheap that it is difficult for them to change anything.

But after entering the inner city, Li Tai'an and the others found that the situation was not optimistic either.

A large number of shops have closed down. These are stalls selling food.

Even if it is an inn, they only provide accommodation, not food.

Even the inn doesn't want to collect cash anymore.

In times of famine, food is more persuasive than money.

"No matter what, let's get rid of the ringing snake first. That way, whether it's a natural disaster or a snake shed fruit, we'll have it all," Li Tai'an said.

"Look!" Just as Li Tai'an finished speaking, Huang Gou exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction the yellow dog said, and they saw a middle-aged man. Although he was also very thin, he was already very good compared to the refugees outside.

"Zhao Xiang!" Zhao Qiang affirmed.

Huang Gou also nodded. Although this man was much neater and cleaner, Huang Gou recognized him immediately.

"Follow me." Li Tai'an said quickly without hesitation.

In the mystery of Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Xiang also plays a very important role.

Everyone quickly followed. Because of the famine, there were not many people on the street. Li Taian and the others did not dare to follow too closely. They could only hang far behind to ensure that Zhao Xiang could not find him and at the same time, they would not be lost.

After walking around in circles, Zhao Xiang came to a small alley and walked in.

Li Tai'an and the others quickly followed and entered the alley.

Immediately afterwards, they saw Zhao Xiang enter a house in an alley.
