Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Chapter 469 The Past



The doctor listed a series of shocking and shocking secrets, and cursed how the human monks persecuted the demon race, and became more and more violent, and finally went completely crazy.

It would be silly to listen to it directly.

Although she lived a long time, she slept, ate, and lived in isolation, so she didn't know such a specific situation. At most, she heard a few mentions from other people of her race and knew some secrets.

"Look at what you look like." The doctor already associates the snake with a "special purpose" slave.

"Is it really... eh? No, how can you be in human form?!"

The doctor's emotions were in his head for a moment, and he didn't react until he finished venting, and then he guessed,

"Could it be that you are a clone like me? Yes, Master Chen actually owns this sword, so it must not be difficult to do this."

"No, no, no, no!" Hui's face was on fire at this time, and it was red all the way to the roots of his ears.
"You and I, no, no, no, it's not what you think!"

Poor Hui would blush even when he peeked at passages from banned books. Although he would occasionally say a few words of tiger or wolf to Chen Zebiao, he was a good-looking and fun-loving person, so he only understood the literal meaning, but in fact he had no idea why.

How could he withstand the doctor's blasphemous bombardment just now?

"No, I'm not that kind of person." At this moment, Hui's head was dizzy, and there seemed to be Venus spinning back and forth in front of his eyes. He even stuttered for a while.

Seeing Hui's confused expression, the doctor's misunderstanding deepened, so he observed his words and changed the topic directly, unwilling to poke the other person's "sore spot".
"Really Chen."

"Forgive me for being embarrassed. I lost my composure for a moment."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Ze looked as normal and poked the anemone, which made the latter jump three feet high.

"It's a long story, but it was indeed a demon clan before. You can say whatever you want."

Seeing this situation, the doctor finally confirmed Hui's "identity" in his mind, sighed silently, and then continued,
"I've been living next to a volcano crater for as long as I can remember."

"Wait a minute." When it came to the "professional field", Hui immediately came back to his senses and questioned,
"Your body looks like a fish, right?"

"That's right." The doctor nodded and admitted.

"Then how could you be separated from your original environment when you were born? Or are you some kind of fish that lives on land? But you don't look like this." Hui once again put on the appearance of a famous detective.

"There are not only volcanoes on land." Xu Guifeng shook his head and continued,
"It's also found in the sea. Especially in the deep sea."

"Yes. Deep sea." The doctor gestured,
"I live nearly [-] meters under the deep sea, where no sunlight can penetrate."

"No wonder you look like this." He looked at the angler-fish-like body behind the doctor and nodded slightly, remembering the dilemma of being unable to deal with such deep-sea fish at the dinner table.

"This is the environment there." The doctor also looked at his own body,

"My body and skin must be able to withstand the pressure, there must be mucus that sticks to the gravel to bury itself, and it must be rough enough to withstand rougher rocks and sharp teeth."

"It's cold, dark and quiet at the bottom of the ocean. It's dead silent in most places."

"Life can only exist near warm craters, and instinct drives all species to crowd there."

"But that ocean is limited, there's limited space, there's limited food."

"So the fighting and fighting will never stop, every day. No, the sun will never see the sky there. There will be rebirth and death every moment."

"It was in that environment that I woke up."

"You have become a demon clan." Hui answered matter-of-factly. Everyone present was an "expert" and there was no need to explain too much.

"However, in a place like the bottom of the sea where energy is scarce, demon clans can also be born?"

"Although the seabed lacks life, it does not lack Yuan Qi." The doctor corrected,

"The so-called 'heaven and earth', the deep sea is the depth of the earth, and because it is inaccessible, it is a place of its own. Yuan Qi is abundant and abnormal, but things will turn to the extreme, becoming fierce and dangerous, and are often ignored by people."

"That's true." Xu Guifeng also added following these words,
"According to measurements, under the sea surface at a certain depth, the oxygen content and other indicators in the seawater will surge abnormally."

"And based on our experience, there are indeed many remains in good condition that were obtained from the seabed."

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, the doctor continued.

"Not only is there a lack of food, but the overly active Yuan Qi is not an opportunity, but a disaster such as turbulence. Even a well-educated monster clan will suffer from it."

"In such an extreme environment, just surviving took all our energy and effort."

"Whether it's fish, shrimps, crabs, or other sea beasts, they are both hunters and prey in this never-ending darkness."

"We must deliberately hide ourselves and hide ourselves in deeper darkness, because once exposed, we will be eaten."

"Of course, in order not to starve to death, we must keep our eyes open and carefully stare at the weak people who may be hiding in the darkness around us."

"There is no concept of communication and getting along here. As soon as we meet, we will die. There are no exceptions."

"Life, death, hiding, hunting, and becoming food, this is how we survive. Only the new scars on our bodies can remind me of the passage of time."

After hearing what the doctor said, Hui, who was about to speak in agreement, hesitated, but finally sighed,

"It's really harder for you in the sea than for us."

"Are you a snake demon on land?" Xu Guifeng asked directly towards the snake.

"How do you know?" Hui was quite surprised.

"Guess." Xu Guifeng did not tell the truth. He was afraid that the snake would come to him again to ask for the roast chicken.

"You can tell by looking at your gluttony." Chen Ze exposed it mercilessly,
"People who didn't call you Big Fat Snake were just being polite to you."

"Hiss—" the snake exhaled angrily and "threatened",

"It's a blessing to be able to eat! There's a lot to eat in the mountains. If I can't, I can go down to the river to drink fish!"

Although Hui is well aware of the cruelty of the jungle law, the deep sea where the doctor comes from is obviously countless times more extreme.

It can no longer even be described as "cruel". The main theme there is so pure that only "survival" is left, and there is no room for any "life".

"I don't know how long these days have passed." The doctor took a breath from his emotion and continued,
"When I thought about something other than survival, I suddenly realized that it had been too long since I had encountered an evenly matched opponent."

"It turns out that I am powerful enough to occupy a volcanic crater and become the overlord of that sea area. No demon clan around me dares to challenge me anymore."

"I can finally swallow sea water with arrogance, show the fake bait on my forehead openly, and watch other creatures flee in panic under my shadow."

"I no longer need to rely on bright fake baits to set traps. If I want to, no creature can escape from my mouth."

"Gradually, there were more and more strange things in my mind. Later I learned that they were called 'ideas'."

"At first I thought I was sick and was shaking with fear."

"But then I figured out that it was because I was freed from the suffering of struggling to survive that I had room to think."

“It was an incredible feeling, and I still remember how I felt when I figured it out the first day I was thinking.”

"So I wanted to free other creatures from this endless cycle of death and experience the joy of thinking together." "I gathered the creatures around the crater together, distributed food to them, and wanted them to Like me, let’s think together.”

"Oh my god" Hui looked at the doctor with admiration.
"You are also a social experimenter, very powerful. When I was a demon, I didn't think so much, I just thought about what kind of meat is delicious."

"Haha." The doctor sneered,

"You praise me too much. It's just a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers. It's just a whim."

"I failed."

"They can't understand my intentions at all. As long as they are driven by instinct a little bit, they will fall into endless fighting."

"And if I force them to stop, they will tremble and do nothing until they die of fear or starvation."

"I couldn't understand it at the time, so I made more and more mistakes, until I almost killed all the creatures near the crater."

"But it didn't take long before new residents moved in from elsewhere to fill the void."

"I continued to try, several times in a row, but failed."

"I began to suspect that I was not strong enough, so I stopped trying and began to focus on devouring Yuan Qi-enriched things to enhance my abilities."

"But then the bottom of the sea changed, and everything changed."

"The world has changed dramatically." Hui tried to restore his image as a greedy snake and began to discuss with the doctor with a correct attitude.

"Under the sea, it all starts much earlier and more severely."

"I said before that the Yuan Qi at the bottom of the sea is abundant and unstable, so when changes occur, the disasters caused are far beyond your imagination."

"First, a large number of ordinary creatures died due to drastic changes in the environment, and then the monsters preyed on them due to the shrinkage of Yuan Qi, gradually forming a vicious cycle."

"Then the entire underwater ecosystem was almost destroyed, including the crater where I was."

"The demon overlords who used to avoid each other with me invaded one after another, and fighting me seemed to have returned to the way I lived when I was weak."

"Of course. I won in the end. I became the overlord of a larger sea area."

"But that was just the beginning. I had never thought before that there were seas beyond the seas, and even land and sky."

"So I have to face endless enemies every day, sometimes winning and sometimes losing."

"But thanks to the tenacious vitality given to me by my racial talent, I can often escape to recuperate even if I lose."

"Until that huge body that I had never seen before crashed near me, injured, as if it was asleep."

"It was a dragon, but I didn't know it at that time."

"I only feel the endless Yuan Qi in the opponent's body. I know that as long as I eat it, I can become the overlord of bigger and more sea areas."

"You're in luck." Hui inquired with gleaming eyes.

"What does dragon meat taste like? It's as delicious as the legend says. I've never tasted it!"

"I didn't eat it." The doctor gave an unexpected answer.

"Huh?" the big foodie asked puzzledly,

"why?"

"Because I'm tired." The doctor clenched his fists involuntarily.

"I've had enough of those days, enough of the endless fighting and fighting."

"I felt a lot of strange auras on that dragon."

"By some strange coincidence, I didn't eat it. I even caught it food to help it recover from its injuries."

"After it woke up, it used its spiritual thoughts to tell me that there is earth overseas and there is sky above the earth."

"It told me a lot of things and taught me how to communicate with other monsters. It said we are friends."

"Haha, it's funny. In the deep sea where no light can be seen, a dragon actually became friends with a fish."

"Later, when it is healed, it must leave here."

"I let it take me, but it hesitated and said it was too peaceful here compared to the outside, and told me to stay here."

"I insisted on leaving because I was really fed up with the bottom of the sea and couldn't stay for a moment."

"It couldn't resist me, and finally it took me up little by little."

"It is very experienced. It taught me how to adjust my body condition to adapt to different depths of the sea, and taught me how to bypass those forbidden areas where death is inevitable."

"It took us a long time to swim and stop, and then we saw the light coming from the sea."

"Sunlight!"

"That was the first time I saw such beautiful light. It told me that such light is not unusual outside. It exists all the time, filling every corner."

"I was very excited and asked it why it kept hiding under the sea despite such a good place."

"It said it was hiding from people."

"Human race. That was the first time I heard of this race. It's such a strange name. The syllables are very short, but it makes its body tremble uncontrollably."

"I was very excited. I swam much faster than before. It was behind me and asked me to swim slower and pay attention to whether there were any humans guarding it outside."

"It didn't take long for me to get out of the sea. The dry air made me uncomfortable, but I was happy."

"Then wait for me to turn around."

The doctor suddenly stopped talking.

"What's going on? That dragon won't run away on its own, right?" Just as Hui was touched by this sympathetic fraternity, the doctor poured a basin of cold water on him.
"It's dead."

"Ah?" Hui was stunned.

The doctor continued in a tone without any emotion,
"It was caught by the human monks who were ambushing around and demolished it in front of me."

"The sea water is dyed red. I have never been so afraid of blood."

"I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but I was pinned to the spot by a flying sword."

"Those monks have discovered me a long time ago, but they were busy hunting the dragons and had no time to pay attention."

"When they freed up their hands, they all gathered around and laughed at me for looking ugly, saying that there are such ugly things in the world."

"Originally, they wanted to kill me casually and eat some meat, but one of the monks stopped them, saying that it was unusual for me to be so ugly, and he wanted to take me back to his son to play with." (End of Chapter)
