Hai Qiong took off the bun on her head and regained her daughter's appearance. Bright eyes, white teeth, round little nose... Shen Rui seemed to have returned to the lakeside that he would never forget.
It's just that the little girl in front of me has grown up, matured a little, and is a little less naughty.
Hai Qiong said: "I came here this time on the orders of my parents."
"Parents' orders? How do you say that?" Shen Rui felt strange.
Hai Qiong said: "Every time my father told me that there were bones of my ancestors in this ancient battlefield, he told me to find a way to find them and take them back."
Shen Rui thought of the dragon bone in his ring, hummed, and asked: "Then why didn't your father come in person, but asked you to come and take risks? Doesn't he know that it is very dangerous here?"
Hai Qiong broke away from Shen Rui's arms, wiped away her tears, and sighed: "The human race and the sea race are now in a period of peace. If he comes by himself or sends others, if his identity is revealed, it will inevitably cause a war between the two races. , he didn’t want to provoke a war between the two clans, so he didn’t come. Later, he told me that I was young and would not easily attract others’ attention. As long as I didn’t use the martial arts of the Hai clan, I would not be discovered, so he sent me here. Already."
Shen Rui nodded, his face a little red. He originally thought that Hai Qiong was here to find him. However, Hai Qiong's father was a cautious and far-sighted man, and would not ignore the two tribes for his own selfishness. of peace.
"However," Hai Qiong said in disappointment, "I searched the entire villa, but I didn't see the bones of my ancestors."
Shen Rui was very conflicted and didn't know whether he should give her the dragon bone or not.
He suddenly asked: "What does your father want with the bones of your ancestors?"
Hai Qiong said: "You don't know something. The growth of our sea clan actually relies more on innate inheritance rather than acquired cultivation. With the bones of this ancestor and the treasures on his body, I can reach this level immediately. The strength level of an ancestor. My father wanted me to get it so that I could make a breakthrough in strength."
Shen Rui was horrified. This dragon clan mainly relies on the inheritance of its ancestors to obtain higher strength. Doesn't it mean that generations of masters can continue to do so? This is terrible.
Thinking of the human race's hard work in cultivation, but little progress, and even some people who were born to be excluded from the door of warriors, he couldn't help but lament that the same people have different fates.
However, thinking that Hai Qiong could quickly improve his strength by obtaining the dragon bone, he had already made a major decision in an instant.
Seeing his silence, Hai Qiong knew that he was envious of the fact that he could inherit the martial arts of his predecessors, and immediately said with a smile: "The living environment of our Hai clan is harsh, and very few people can survive. It's not like your human race who can absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to improve their cultivation. Because, if we could not inherit the strength of our ancestors, we would have perished long ago. This is the result of evolution that adapts to the environment. There is nothing to envy. I am more envious of your human race, with its large population and superior life."
Shen Rui suddenly realized that this was the case.
He said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. Every ethnic group has its own difficulties, and everyone is struggling for survival."
Hai Qiong nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, and we don't need to be envious. Although I didn't get the keel this time, I was happier to meet you than to get the keel. I thought I would never see you again. It’s over.”
Shen Rui smiled and said, "I'm very happy to meet you."
Hai Qiong's face suddenly dimmed and she said, "However, I have to go, and I have to go back as soon as possible to report to my father."
Shen Rui said: "You didn't even get the dragon bone, how can you tell your father?"
Hai Qiong smiled and said: "I have tried my best, and I believe my father will not blame me."
She took out the items she had shared in the cave last time from her arms and said, "These are for you. It's useless for me to hold them."
Shen Rui was not polite, accepted them all, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
As the sky gradually darkened, Hai Qiong looked around and said, "I'll take you over the cliff, and then I'm leaving."
Shen Rui used his soul power to explore outside, shook his head and said: "There are still some people here who haven't had time to leave. If you send me there, someone will definitely find out your identity. Don't worry, I have a way to get there. It's relatively private here. , you’d better go directly.”
Seeing what he said, Hai Qiong didn't insist, and immediately said: "My father is waiting for me at the place where we met last time. It won't take long for me to go by flying dragon. Brother Shen, take care of yourself."
Shen Rui said: "Take care."
The two of them felt very sad when they thought about this separation and did not know when they would see each other again.
Hai Qiong turned around reluctantly and was about to take out the flying dragon from her sleeve when Shen Rui suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Shen Rui took out a ring from his arms and said with a smile: "You always give me things, and today I am generous. I have a gift for you, but you can only open it and look at it on the way."
Hai Qiong took the ring excitedly and asked: "Why can't it be opened on the road? Wouldn't it be great to open it now?"
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "No, I want to give you a surprise."
Hai Qiong smiled like a flower and asked: "Then tell me what's inside?"
Shen Rui said: "Keep it secret."
Hai Qiong accepted it happily. For her, no matter what Shen Rui gave, she would not dislike it.
The green dragon suddenly appeared, and Hai Qiong quietly sat on the flying dragon and flew into the sky in the dusk, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the sky.
"What did Brother Shen give me that is so mysterious?" Hai Qiong flew in the air, unable to hide her curiosity, and saw the inside through the ring.
"Ah!" She was shocked. There was actually a complete dragon bone skeleton in the ring. Nothing moved, and there was still light shining on the ground. It was naturally Long Lin. It turned out that the dragon bone had been taken by Brother Shen. This was a What kind of precious gift? Hai Qiong couldn't help but look back at the ground, where there was a small figure vaguely waving to her.
Seeing Hai Qiong fly away, Shen Rui stood there and suddenly felt very lonely. From the four friends in the small village to being alone now, the world has changed so quickly.
The old soul's voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "You are so generous, no one else can get such a valuable thing, so why don't you just give it to someone casually? Do you like them?"
Shen Rui said: "She is from the Sea Clan. This thing is much more useful to her than to me. She once saved my life. Giving this thing to her can be regarded as my gratitude to her."
"Okay, the things are yours, and you can give them to whomever you want," said Hun Lao.
"Stop being wordy. It's not safe to stay here for a long time. Send me outside and I'll find a place to see what I've gained this time." Shen Rui didn't want to argue with him about this issue anymore.
"Okay." Hun Lao flew out of the knife, entered Shen Rui's body, and flew into the air like an arrow. Not long after, Hun Lao flew to the other side, and Shen Rui found a cave with no one around and sat down. .What he wants to know most is what is contained in the rings of the two strong men inside the iron gate.
