Cub Nursery

"You have seen the county seat." The fifth prince affirmed.

Zhao Yuanting's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth and said, "I've seen it."

"Then do you regret it?" the Fifth Prince asked.

"..." Zhao Yuanting's complexion changed again, and he said with a livid face, "I have nothing to do with the present life in the county seat."

"So what?" the fifth prince asked back, "Is the present world of the county seat related to Yan Xun this time? Or is it related to a cub? Why didn't I see it? Or did you know the conditions of the present world in the county seat long ago, but just refused to accept it?" speak out?"

Slamming down a few sentences one after another, the fifth prince's attitude is obvious, he is standing on Yan Xun's side for the time being, and will not share the same hatred with Zhao Yuanting.

"I don't know." Zhao Yuanting felt the fifth prince's attitude, and said a little discouraged, "The county below is different from the one above. It wants to 'eat people'."

"It will always appear. If you don't appear today, you will appear tomorrow." The fifth prince's tone was a bit inexplicable, as if he was mocking others or himself, "I thought I would live in darkness all my life, but I didn't expect... ..."

He thinks that he has seen all the secrets, and even creates monsters by himself, thinking about stirring up wind and rain outside, thinking that he has the wisdom pearl in his hands, and the situation of the world is in the palm of his hand.

In the end, what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg. The emperor kept him from it, the Zhong family kept it from him, and even the aristocratic families in the capital who secretly made friends with him also kept it from him. In the end, he came to Xiasha County in person to see this. Some shocking secrets that you would never even think of.

The people who let him see these secrets are not the companions he thought, but Yan Xun, who he regards as his lifelong opponent.

Sometimes the fifth prince couldn't even see his position clearly in a trance, the people he regarded as his companions kept him a lot, but the people he regarded as his opponents told him many secrets.

"It's for your own good!" Zhao Yuanting said coldly, "The more people know, the more they will be doomed. Sometimes the less they know, the better they will be able to retreat. The emperor has a heart for His Highness, doesn't His Highness know?"

It's like the fifth prince willingly put on shackles and stayed beside Yan Xun in order to prevent Qin Si from getting in touch with these secrets, just to let Qin Si retreat completely.

"The emperor's arrangement is for His Highness!" Zhao Yuanting said in a low voice, "Does Your Highness understand?"

The reason is naturally understandable, but when such a reason is forced on the fifth prince, the result is not to accept it readily, but to rebound violently.

"I understand, but I don't accept it." The fifth prince said coldly, "I would rather face these secrets, or do you think I have no ability to escape unscathed? Or does the emperor think I cannot escape unscathed?"

"Don't dare." Speaking of the emperor, Zhao Yuanting's attitude suddenly changed.

He dared to show no disrespect to the fifth prince, but he didn't dare to show the same attitude to the emperor.

"The fourth child is different." The fifth prince suddenly said, "I am different from him."

Qin Si has been completely pampered since he was born. The emperor strictly required Qin Yi to train him as a prince, but he gave Qin Si all the warmth of father and son. Four except that he is not the crown prince, he is almost as good as the wind and the rain.

And the fifth prince... ever since he became neither human nor ghost, he really lived like a lonely ghost, even worse than the wild dogs begging for food outside.

After all, the two are different. Qin Si is protected by many people and has many choices, while the fifth prince can only struggle and fight for other choices by himself.

"The county is alive, it won't disappear easily, and it needs a lot of sacrifices." Zhao Yuanting said suddenly, and as he spoke, he remembered the tragedy of the year, couldn't help shivering all over, and wanted to escape to the top, and then looked at the five The prince stood at the door, knowing that it was impossible to escape, so he could only minimize his sense of existence.

"Hmph." The fifth prince snorted coldly, and picked up the binoculars to look at the sky.

The fish that slipped through the net that escaped from the giant Xiao Hei fluttered and flew towards the Shimen, even if it was wiped out before getting close to the Shimen, it did not flinch.

There are more and more half-dead bats, and the Shimen is becoming more and more stable, and the surroundings become very clear, and even the people around the Shimen can be clearly seen.

"The county seat is not the same as the county seat above." Zhao Yuanting simply broke the jar, no longer hiding the truth from the fifth prince, but said it all in one go, "In ancient times, human beings gathered into tribes, and there were also connections between tribes. They will gather together every once in a while to form a market for exchanging things."

It may have been just a bazaar at the beginning, but as the number of exchanges increased, people were obviously not satisfied with just exchanging things.

Strong tribes want to swallow weak tribes, rob population, food, weapons, etc., while weak tribes want to increase their strength, and try to exchange for more population, food, weapons, etc.

This leads to contradictions and conflicts, and with the addition of monsters that can bring danger at any time, there will be more conflicts.

The tribal patriarch realized that going on like this was not an option, so the tribes began to unite with each other to build cities together, and to distinguish between superiors and inferiors without killing people, so there was the existence of the ancient "city lord".

"This is the county seat." Zhao Yuanting said in a deep voice, "The county seat is far more complicated than what I said, and what I know is only a drop in the bucket."

"Since then?" the Fifth Prince asked.

Zhao Yuanting was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that what the fifth prince was asking was whether the tribe at that time, or the county town that had just been built, was also suffering from disasters at the top, and sacrifices were needed at the bottom.

"...Yes." After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Yuanting nodded and said, "The county seat of Xiasha County was the earliest county seat at that time, and it was also the beginning of human beings being able to preserve themselves and multiply."

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Yuanting felt that although he was exiled back then, it was nothing compared to Xiasha County.

Xiasha County is the beginning of human beings, and it is the most important place in Daqin. Compared with Xiasha County, everything else is nothing.

I am afraid that only Yan Xun and the cubs are so rigid, like old antiques who don't know how to adapt, obeying the rules indiscriminately, I really don't know whether they are smart or stupid.

"This is the county seat." Dan Honghong stood on the little prince's shoulder, holding a small binoculars in her paws and looking into the distance, "It's really unexpected, it really surprised us."

"The space is almost stable." The black and white cub rubbed his eyes and said, "We have to find a way to go up and have a look."

"You can see that the Bat Guiyin is half-formed, and the stone gate can't be entered at all."

"Think about it."

The cubs were not discouraged, but were planning to find a way to get closer, and even planned to go to the vicinity of Shimen to have a look.

"There are people." Yan Xun said suddenly, "There are people around the stone gate."

In the completely dark room below, Zhao Yuanting took a deep breath and continued to tell the secret that only he knew, "There are people in the county, I don't know what they look like, but there are really people in the county, and they are also elders."

It's just that the elders in the county have a higher status, which is naturally different from the elders in the villages and towns below.

"It's from the county." Yan Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at the human being who appeared near the stone gate, "Since there are people there, we should be able to find a way to get there..."

"How did they get down, and how did they get in?" the Fifth Prince asked.

Zhao Yuanting shook his head, "I don't know the details, I only know that it has something to do with the semi-adult bats."

On the back of the hummingbird, the cub of the flower tree stared at Shimen for a while, and suddenly said: "Could it have something to do with the semi-adult bat's treacherous sound? This semi-adult has existed for a long time, and it stands to reason that it should have evolved long ago. The way to become a monster is right..."

Shimen is complete, and even Xiasha County is the oldest county in Daqin, so it stands to reason that there should be a complete inheritance.

The semi-adult Bat Guiyin should be able to evolve into a monster.

"The person inside the stone gate shouldn't be the ancestor?" Dan Honghong put down the binoculars, jumped off the little prince's shoulders, walked to Yan Xun's feet, and said loudly, "Father, let me try!"

The stone gate in Qiyuan County is not complete, and the so-called ancestors are hidden inside. Now that the bloodthirsty fish demon has evolved, the cubs have already created more powerful shells, so the so-called ancestors are no longer a concern. But inside the complete stone gate in front of him is obviously not the old ancestor lingering on his last breath.

The cubs were all startled, they looked at Yan Xun in unison.

"Father, I'm the smallest in size, and my target is also the smallest. If you catch a few half-grown bats, you can take me there, and it's easy to get out." The more Dan Honghong said, the more feasible it became, "No one is more powerful than me. It fits."

Dan Honghong patted her small chest hard, looking at Yan Xun expectantly.

"Okay." Yan Xun knew that what Dan Honghong said was right, and that it was most appropriate for Dan Honghong to go, so he had no reason to stop her, "Be careful, if there is something wrong, return it immediately, and we will find another way."

"I know." Dan Honghong agreed, and ran back to find the little prince, took out the other two spare battle umbrellas from his pocket and tied them to her body, trotted all the way here, jumped out from the hummingbird's back, and opened them at the same time as she descended. The Umbrella Organ entangled several bats in an instant, and the ghostly sound half-formed, and the body quickly followed, and flew towards the distant Shimen.

Bat Guiyin half-adults are much bigger than Dan Honghong, and several of them can easily fly with egg Honghong, but these Bat Guiyin semi-adults are not willing to fly with egg Honghong.

Dan Honghong had to frequently replace the Bat Guiyin semi-adult body, and always pay attention to the distance from Shimen.

When it was very close to the Shimen, the semi-adult Bat Guiyin ignored the egg Honghong, became faster, and rushed towards the Shimen without hesitation.

Yan Xun, who was in the distance, saw this scene and almost raised his heart in his throat. Fortunately, Dan Honghong didn't approach rashly, but stepped back half-formed with the sound of bats, and at the same time took out a very small mechanism from his pocket. Throw it over.

The metal mechanism quickly unfolded in the air, deformed, assembled, and flew towards the stone gate.

'boom'!

The mechanism hit the invisible barrier and exploded, the surrounding space was instantly distorted, and more bats screamed and disappeared.

Dan Honghong jumped onto another half-bat Guiyin, looking solemnly at the invisible barrier in front of her, and she could see it more clearly when she was closer. Those half-bat Guiyin would be like tofu as soon as they got close Just as easily broken into slag.
