Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Duo Ling, Uncle Ming, and Da Li, who were hiding inside the giant tree, came out after hearing no movement outside. Duo Ling looked at the bloodstains on the ground, her face turned pale, and she walked forward trembling, still shouting the names of her master and Gu Cai.

Gu Cai heard Duo Ling's voice, stood up quickly, and waved happily, "Sister! We are here!"

Duo Ling ran over quickly and saw the bloodstains on her master and Gu Cai's bodies. She didn't know where to put her hands and just kept crying.

Ruan Hei washed his hands by the water, then touched Duo Ling's head, "Ling'er, don't be afraid, Master and Gu Cai are fine! This is all the blood of those mermaids."

Uncle Ming also came to Hubayi and the others. After seeing that they were all fine, he put his hands together and bowed, "Goddess Mazu, bless you! Those who survived this great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future!"

After Uncle Ming finished his worship, he raised his eyes and saw Gu Cai’s naked back.

Uncle Ming poked the fat man and said, "Fatty, come with me!"

Wang Kaixuan was still curious about what Uncle Ming wanted to tell him and why he was so secretive.

Uncle Ming raised his chin and motioned Fatty to look at Gu Cai, "Fatty, did you see the pattern on the back of that egg man?"

Fatty Wang glanced over and exclaimed, "This wasn't there before, when did this come out?"

Fatty Wang called out to Hubayi softly. Hubayi was also confused. Instead of taking a good rest, why did they hold a private meeting?

As soon as Huba came over with Yang Xueli, they heard Fatty Wang leaning close to their ears and whispering, "Old Hu, look at Gu Cai's back. We didn't see anything on his back when we were on the boat before. How come such a thing suddenly appeared here!"

Hubayi and Yang Xueli also looked over and saw a tattoo-like pattern on the back of the bone. Why did he look so familiar?

Uncle Ming saw Hubayi and the other two staring at Gucai's back. Gucai felt three burning gazes from behind, which made him feel like a thorn in his back, and a chill rose in his heart. He turned back subconsciously and met the eyes of Hubayi, Yang Xueli and Fatty Wang. There was an indescribable solemnity and tension in their eyes, as if they were looking through him. Gucai's heart jumped suddenly, and he shuddered all over.

At this time, Ruan Hei also noticed the pattern on Gu Cai's back, and also noticed the strange looks from Huba Yi and the others. He frowned slightly, and stepped in front of Gu Cai, blocking Huba Yi and the others' sight.

Uncle Ming said softly to Huba and the others, "That... that is a sea map, a totem exclusive to the ancient dragon households. Legend has it that those dragon households can stay underwater for half an hour without any problem, and can even fight evil fish without losing the upper hand."

Upon hearing this, Huba and the others turned around and looked at Uncle Ming with confusion in their eyes. "Long Hu?"

Uncle Ming continued, "I heard that Long Hu is the founder of the Danmin Sect today."

After hearing this, Huba and the others all looked at Uncle Ming in surprise. Uncle Ming continued to explain: "In fact, the history of Longhu is very long, and can even be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. At that time, Longhu were also called Tanka people. It was only later, with the changes of the times, that people gradually called them Danmin."

Hearing this, Huba asked Uncle Ming, "Since Longhu is the ancestor of the Danmin, then Boss Ruan has already known Gu Cai's identity, so? But I think they themselves only know half of it."

Uncle Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but as far as I know, Longhu is the ancestor of the current Danminmen, or Longhu is the Hatetian tribe that Miss Yang mentioned before, which is the remnant of a place."

Uncle Ming sighed, "The dragon households are used to freedom. If you suddenly ask them to work for others, they may be obedient at first, but later they will become more and more unable to control their temper. So in history, the dragon households have always been appeased and then rebelled, and then rebelled again after being appeased. The number of dragon households is small to begin with, and after several rounds of suppression, only one in ten survives."

Uncle Ming paused and said, "I guess that Gu Cai's parents are also descendants of the surviving dragon family. As for whether we can find Gu Cai's clan members, I'm afraid it's hard to say."

After hearing what Uncle Ming said, Fatty Wang was also dumbfounded. "Then Uncle Ming, what you said means that this bone treasure will become the only seedling of their clan!"

Uncle Ming nodded, "You can say that, he is the last Dragon Household. Gucai's parents died early, and there was no one to teach him, so the Dragon Household family can only last until Gucai's generation."

Huba and others were also sighing after hearing this.

After Hua Yu treated Zhang Qiling's wound, he was impatient to stay here any longer! "Brother! This time it's just a minor skin injury. Will you be like Mr. Hu and the others next time and come back to see me with your skin covered like a bloody gourd?"

Zhang Qiling raised his hand and placed it on Hua Yu's face, saying softly, "No!"

Hua Yu looked up at Zhang Haike and gave him a look. Zhang Haike stood up and brushed the dust off his body.

Zhang Haike walked up to Gucai and carefully observed the totem on his back. "Gucai, when you were a child, did anyone tell you something you must never forget?"

Huba and the other three were still discussing what they should do next. After hearing Zhang Haike's voice, they all turned around and looked over.

Gu Cai was stunned at first, then reacted.

Gu Cai recalled, "Yes! When I was a child, my father told me a string of numbers."

Zhang Haike: "What is mathematics?"

Gu Cai stumbled over what he had just said while recalling it. Zhang Haike was stunned at first, then he came to his senses and said, "This is the Xiantian Bagua!"

Although Hubayi also understood the hexagrams, he was not good at the innate Bagua, so Yang Xueli and the others were a little discouraged.

Zhang Haike patted Gu Cai on the shoulder and said, "Good boy! Come with me into the water later. I just heard Haitai's general idea."

Hubayi also hurried forward and said that he wanted to go together. Zhang Haike took a look at Hua Yu, and after getting a positive answer, he agreed to Hubayi's request.

Before they entered the water, Hua Yu handed Zhang Haike a fist-sized pearl and said, "When necessary, throw this out. I think the person down there will like it very much!"

Zhang Haike was stunned for a moment. At first he didn't understand who Hua Yu was talking about the person below. Later he found out that it was the person in the cave.

Zhang Haike and the other two adjusted to the temperature in the water first, and then began to dive into the water. As Zhang Haike expected, the bronze statues under the water were used to imprison the creatures in the cave. However, after Zhang Haike took out the pearl, a large bubble emerged from deeper underwater.

Zhang Haike, Hubayi and Gucai saw a huge creature floating up. The three of them dodged it and took a closer look, realizing that it was an enormous clam, even bigger than the sea willow boat they were on.

The moment the giant clam opened its mouth, the water around Zhang Haike and the others was sucked in. If they had not been hiding in the cave where the black-scaled mermaid had lived before, they would have been crushed to pieces by the water flow generated by the opening and closing of the giant clam.

The giant clam swallowed the pearls and spit out many pearls as big as longan. Zhang Haike and the other two scooped up a lot of them along the water flow and placed them one by one in the empty spaces of the bronze statue.

After placing the pearl, the three of them hid again, and saw that the bronze statue seemed to be injected with vitality. There was also movement in the deep cave entrance. Hubayi wanted to see what would come out, but Zhang Haike had already pulled Gu Cai away from him, and Hubayi could only leave with him.

Before leaving, Huba looked back and saw a hand stretched out from the hole. The hand was almost as big as their lifeboat. He wondered how big the hand would be when the whole body came out.

After the three of them surfaced, Zhang Haike took off his mask and said, "Hide inside the giant tree quickly and seal all the exits. The two below are fighting."

After Yang Xueli and others helped Hubayi and Gucai up, they were still a little confused when they heard Zhang Haike's words, but Hubayi pulled and pushed them inside.

Huba and his group, Hua Yu, Zhang Qiling and their group returned to the giant tree space. After they sealed all the exits, they heard a crash outside and the sound of rocks falling into the water. After a while, they felt the entire ground shaking.
