Chapter 107: The Secret of the Forked Turtle
At the bottom of the dark river, there are simple dwellings made of rocks.
Floating in the river are small pale blue dots of light, a plant called a water lantern, which gives a faint light to the dark river space.
Originally, it was extremely dark under the dark river, and the habitat of the forked turtle was extremely desolate, and there were no plants growing at all. All the sources of light, the krathongs, and the rock-built dwellings, looked very desolate.
No wonder they have to go so far to collect food, the habitat of the forked turtles is so inhospitable, let alone food, not even the figures of other creatures. Go a little deeper, and you can reach the end of the dark river of the Muna River.
"It's too desolate." Chu Worm shook his head.
The young patriarch of the forked turtle touched his turtle head and smiled wryly.
Lan Ling and Da Lan were also shocked by the desolation of the forked turtle's habitat, and immediately felt dissatisfied with the forked turtle ancestor who had never met before. Choosing such a place as a habitat is even more dilapidated than those small groups struggling on the edge of survival, which is not to treat their children and grandchildren as turtles.
As soon as the young patriarch of the forked turtle entered the habitat of the forked turtle, a forked turtle was immediately discovered. The forked turtles swam out of the stone houses one after another, and gave a grand welcome to the Chu worms.
The news that Chu Worm saved the young patriarch of the forked turtle and the collection team, they all knew about it, so they were very grateful to Chu Worm.
Like the knife and fork turtle, the fork turtle group also wants to hold a banquet for the arrival of Chu worms and welcome them well. But Chu Worm decisively refused, and it was already very difficult for the forked turtles to survive in this kind of place, and food was scarce. How could he possibly let them consume food to feast on themselves?
Even if it is a fraternal group, the forked turtles are also very backbone, and they will not accept the help of the turtles, but rely on themselves to survive. Of course, the identity of the Knife Fork Turtle brother group also allows some other races not to infringe on the Fork Turtle, which can ensure the most basic safety.
After listening to the description of the young patriarch of the forked turtle, the Forked Turtle Patriarch knew that Chu Worm had come to open the temple in the clan for them, and he was immediately overjoyed.
Under the cheers and hugs of the forked turtles, the forked turtle patriarch and the young patriarch of the forked turtle accompanied Chu Worm together and walked deeper into the dark river.
"If you go any deeper, you'll reach the end of the Dark River, right?" Chu Worm looked around, and it was getting darker and darker. It gave him a feeling of incomparable desolation.
"When the ancestors built the palace, they built the palace in the deepest part for safety. We live outside to guard the deepest palaces. The Forked Turtle Patriarch explained.
The three descendants of the first ancestor of the knife and fork turtle are all turtles from thousands of years ago.
The lifespan of the three clans of the knife, fork and turtle is also quite long, but because of fighting diseases and other reasons, they basically do not live to the end of their life. The Knife Fork Turtle Patriarch is the eldest one, more than 200 years old. However, even if it is more than 200 years old, in the face of the forked turtle and sword turtle patriarch who are much younger than it, it is also called a brother.
"Here we are."
Not far away, a 10-meter-high, black temple appeared as if it were made of fine iron.
Chu Worm approached this temple and observed it carefully.
Although the outside of this temple was wrapped in a layer of seals and the light was very dim, Chu Worm could still observe the details of the temple. Although the craftsmanship of this temple is not very high, it requires a certain amount of architectural knowledge to be able to build it.
The ancestor of the forked turtle even has some research on architecture?
"Lord of Locusts, please hold this pearl." The Forked Turtle Patriarch took out a small shiny bead from his arms, which can be said to be small, but it is actually larger than the body of the Chu worm.
Chu took it and held it on top of his head with his forelimbs.
"Please aim the pearl at the plaque of the temple." The Forked Turtle Patriarch said, "If the plaque is shining, it means that the seal of the temple has been lifted. ”
Chu Worm looked at the plaque.
The handwriting on the plaque is blurred, as if something has been covered in the surface.
At the bottom of the plaque, there are five beads that look like dragon's eyes.
It looks very strange.
Chu worm did so and pointed the pearl at the plaque.
Just a moment, less than a second.
Airplanes~
The temple immediately began to tremble!
Thundered~
"Mimimi?"
"Mimimi?"
The forked turtles in the distance all felt the vibration and began to panic.
Chu worm was also shocked, and his reflexivity was about to retreat.
But the Forked Turtle Patriarch and the Forked Turtle Young Patriarch were motionless, their eyes flashing with excitement, staring at the plaque.
The seal outside the entire temple began to melt, and the black temple actually lit up, emitting a light blue light, like the sun in the dark, and the whole world, as if only the temple was left, illuminating the whole world!
"Has the seal been lifted?"
Chu Worm also breathed a sigh of relief, since he was asking him, he was embarrassed to take the reward for nothing, and it was best to successfully unlock it.
I was also a little happy in my heart, I lifted the seal so quickly, at least it shows that my bloodline is much more noble than that king worm!
But something strange happened.
The light of the temple, after it had reached a certain level, ceased to continue to shine brighter. The vibration of the temple soon stopped, and the font on the plaque was still indistinct. From the plaque, a very powerful suction force suddenly came out, aiming at the pearl in Chu Worm's hand.
Chu worm couldn't catch it at all, and Mingzhu came out directly and went straight to the plaque!
It went straight to the bottom of the plaque, the second of the five dragon-like balls, as if the rain and snow had melted, and the pearl had melted directly into the ball. When blended, the ball lights up like a light bulb and emits a pale white glow.
After the pearl was integrated, the change of the entire temple completely stopped, as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on?" Chu worm was completely stunned.
When the two turtles, the Fork Turtle Patriarch and the Young Patriarch, saw this scene, their eyes were full of tears in their excited eyes, and they knelt down directly.
"Thank you, Lord of Locusts!"
"Thank you, Lord of Locusts!!"
The eyes that looked at Chu Worm were extremely excited, but Chu Worm always felt that things were a little strange, because the direction of their kneeling was not the temple, but towards themselves!
Even if you thank yourself, you're just doing a favor, and it's not a big deal. I don't leave the temple left by my ancestors at all, but bow down to myself!
Chu Worm looked at the temple again.
The door of this temple is still closed, except for the removal of the thin seal on the appearance of the temple, that is, the temple will glow, and there is no special change other than that.
If you say that the strangest thing for Chu worm is-
Those 5 dragon's eyes!
He couldn't take his eyes off it, and he always felt that these dragon eyes meant something. Especially now that these 5 longans have absorbed the second longan of the pearl, they are lit up, and the other longans are still dim.
"Now this temple, has the seal been lifted?" Chu Worm asked suspiciously.
"Yes, thanks to the Lord of Locusts, we were able to obtain the secret inheritance left by our ancestors!" The Forked Turtle Patriarch said in a trembling voice.
"Then why don't you hurry up and get the secret legend, why do you kneel here and thank me?" The three groups of knife, fork and turtle really gave Chu Worm a strange feeling that could not be explained.
"No hurry, no hurry, the inheritance has been opened, and we can read it as much as we like later. The most important thing now is to thank the Lord of Locusts! The Forked Turtle Patriarch bowed his head and said, "Lord of Locusts, this is a great favor to our Forked Turtle Clan!" If there is anything that needs help in the future, we will definitely be swords, mountains and seas of fire, and we will not hesitate! ”
"No, no."
"As for! You don't know how much of a kindness this has been to us! The Forked Turtle Patriarch said, "Please be sure to stay, we have to hold a banquet to thank you!" ”
Chu Worm frowned.
"No, I have something to do next. What's more, the Sword, Fork and Turtle Patriarch has already paid me. Chu Worm said coldly, "I'm just getting paid." ”
Seeing that Chu Worm was cold, the Forked Turtle Patriarch and the Forked Turtle Young Patriarch became even more anxious: "Lord of Locusts, you misunderstood, we just want to thank you well!" ”
Chu worms always felt as if they were looking at something.
But under the fierce explanations of the two turtles, he reluctantly believed their words.
But he was also a little uncomfortable, so after returning to the Forked Turtle Clan, he immediately left with Lan Ling and Da Lan.
The young patriarch of the forked turtle looked a little sad.
Not only the young patriarch of the forked turtle, but all the forked turtles looked like they all had a sad expression.
"Is it because I didn't stay as a guest?" Chu worm was puzzled.
But staying here also made him feel uncomfortable, and he always felt like he was planning something. From beginning to end, it was strange and strange, and even the secret inheritance left by the ancestors before, Chu Worm began to suspect it. The beasts of the jungle don't care about architecture in the first place, and they don't have the concept of architecture at all.
If it were someone else, it was estimated that he wouldn't care too much, but Chu Worm had a certain amount of research on architecture in his previous life, and now he is building his own nest with sappers, and he can be said to be an expert in building workmanship and other things. That temple could never have been built by a layman. A turtle with a knack for architecture? It's a little strange to say.
Chu Worm is also embarrassed to get to the bottom of it, not to mention, even if it is to get to the bottom of it, the forked turtles are estimated to be as vague as the knife and fork turtle patriarch and directly fool the past.
The worm simply left directly.
In Da Lan's body, Chu Worm looked at the stone house behind him, and the forked turtles who were watching their departing figures from afar.
"Knife and Fork Turtle, Knife and Fork Turtle, what secrets are you three of you hiding?"
Chu Worm shook his head, then changed his position and didn't think about it anymore.
Whatever the secret is, it's better to leave it to the opportunity to explore it later.
Now he has more important things to do.
"Runshuize, water-walking lizard, I'm here!"
Whoa......
Leaving the dark river and swimming out of the surface of the Muna River, the group began to rush towards Runshuize.
