"Everyone, don't worry." Xiang Nan tried his best to sound amiable. He smiled and said, "The war of 120, 000 years ago has already turned into dust with the wheel of history."
"Although the humans and the demons are not shaking hands, they are at least coexisting peacefully. The two of them do not invade each other."
"I don't have any hostility towards you. I just want to get some water."
The sturdy man looked at the Dream butterfly on Xiang Nan's back and felt a bit more convinced. He thought to himself, if this person was really a scout sent by humanity, why would he bring a half-dead woman without any martial arts realm with him?
The muscular man thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Alright! Follow us, but leave immediately after you get the water!"
"Definitely." Xiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief and followed everyone into the underground palace.
Xiang Nan and the other two followed the serpent demon and walked in the underground palace. The more they walked, the more desolate they felt in their hearts.
Many, many of the Snake Race were old and dying. In this entire underground palace, the elderly Snake Race actually accounted for a full seventy to eighty percent of them!
The desert serpent race, which had intimidated the world for a generation, had actually fallen to this state. It was inevitable that it would make one's heart ache.
The injured Snake Race man introduced. Firstly, it was because the martial practitioners who had intruded into the Demon Sea had continuously slaughtered the Desert Snake Race. The young Snake Race members who were responsible for protecting their homes were constantly decreasing in this cruel environment.
Secondly, it was because there was no spiritual energy in this place that could allow the newly born serpent race to cultivate. Therefore, their cultivation realms were generally not high, and the martial arts talent flowing in their blood was constantly decreasing as the sun and moon changed.
Throughout the entire Snake Race, if there was a Snake Race male who could cultivate to the Heaven Origin Realm, it would be a rare existence.
What does it mean to be at a low realm? It means less life expectancy.
The earliest Desert Snake Race, once born, would be a terrifying Heavenly Yuan Realm! But now, it was no longer the same as before.
At this moment, large swathes of the Snake Race walked out from the buildings on both sides of the road. When the old Snake Race saw Xiang Nan, their eyes revealed deep fear.
The trauma that humans had brought to them was something that could not be healed by time.
The younger serpents all stared at Xiang Nan and Huang Jingjing with curious eyes.
The injured Snake Race man brought Xiang Nan and the other two into a dilapidated building and apologetically said, "This is my home. I've wronged you all."
"Wait a moment, both of you. The water is as precious as ours. I'll fetch some water for you."
After saying that, the man turned around and left.
Xiang Nan sat there and looked at the room curiously. He discovered that the room was in a sorry state, and there were a few large holes on the roof.
At the entrance, a human-looking little girl from the Snake Race was secretly lying on the doorframe, revealing half of her head. She peeked at Xiang Nan and Dream butterfly with fear and curiosity.
"Come, come in." Xiang Nan smiled at the little girl.
The little girl was so frightened that she immediately ran away, but after a while, she quietly returned to the door and peeked inside.
"Come in. There's delicious food here." Xiang Nan smiled warmly and waved his hand.
The little girl sucked her finger and trembled, "Do you have any sugar? I heard from grandpa. Grandpa's grandpa told him that long, long ago, we could eat something very sweet."
"Sweet, what exactly is it like?"
Xiang Nan and Dream butterfly exchanged a glance. There was also a rare tenderness in Dream butterfly 's eyes. Normally, this tenderness only belonged to Xiang Nan.
"Come, elder sister has it. Come and try it." Dream butterfly took out a few exquisite pastries from her storage ring.
Instantly, a sweet smell filled the entire room. When the little girl smelled this smell, she immediately widened her eyes and drooled.
Usually, the word "Hua Hua" was just an exaggerated adjective, but Xiang Nan finally saw today that someone's saliva could fall down like this.
The little girl was tempted by the sweet taste and rushed in. She grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
When she took her first bite, the little girl was stunned. She shouted for pastries and whined, "Five nests are so delicious."
Meng Die intimately rubbed the little girl's hair and smiled, "Then what do you usually eat?"
The little girl stuffed her mouth with pastries and took out a large mud biscuit with her other hand.
The mud biscuit was the size of a bowl, round and stuffed with two scorpion legs.
"You guys eat ... sand and dirt?" Xiang Nan was shocked. The Snake Race ate meat!
The little girl said that mud biscuits were delicious, because it was hard to find soil here, and meat mud biscuits could only be eaten for children's birthdays.
Xiang Nan felt his nose sour and forced a smile, "Come, I have a lot of meat here! Let's take it out and share it with everyone."
Meng Die also laughed. The two of them pulled the little girl into the street and took out a large amount of cooked meat from the storage ring. Meng Die was a girl, and there were many desserts in the storage ring.
This time, it immediately attracted the attention of many Snake Races. Those Snake Races didn't dare to approach, but they rushed forward when they saw that the children were surrounded by them for a while and there was no danger.
Not far away, on the roof of the building, the young and strong men of the Snake Race all laughed from the bottom of their hearts when they saw this scene.
"Friend, thank you for your generosity. We know that Fire Burn Hell can hardly find any food." The muscular man who suspected Xiang Nan walked over and thanked him sincerely.
"Nothing. It's just a little food. It's not worth mentioning." Xiang Nan replied with a smile.
At this time, Meng Die whispered in Xiang Nan's ear, "Good brother, do you want to meet the famous Desert Queen?"
Xiang Nan hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense so as to avoid misunderstanding."
However, the Snake Race's hearing was very strong. The muscular man had already heard it and sighed, "You two are both good people. It's not impossible for you to see our Queen."
"It's just ..."
"Just what?" Meng Die hurriedly asked.
The man said, "It's just that it's very dangerous ... Our Queen has been imprisoned in a building for 120, 000 years and has not been able to walk out. We are not willing to abandon her old man, so we are not willing to leave the Devil Sea."
"Seeing that our Desert Snake Race is about to be extinct, it's not impossible for you to meet the Queen. At the very least, someone will have seen us with their own eyes and know that we once existed."
These words made Xiang Nan feel extremely sad.
The man led Xiang Nan and the other two deeper down the main road. When they reached the end, there was a path that tilted downwards.
After passing through the passageway, the three of them entered a deeper underground palace. However, as soon as they entered the underground palace, Xiang Nan's heart trembled! He felt an incomparably familiar yet unfamiliar power.
"That's the palace where our Queen is imprisoned. You'd better not approach within a hundred meters. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous."
The muscular man raised his finger.
A thousand meters ahead, there was a gorgeous and unsightly palace. In the air above the palace, there was a blood-red ball of lightning!
The ball of lightning continuously emitted blood-red lightning, enveloping the entire palace.
"Divine Lightning!" Xiang Nan's pupils constricted and he cried out involuntarily.
