Chapter 434: Enemy (1)
Chu Xiaomu asked curiously: "Ancestor, is that long-haired chimpanzee the Lord of Black Mountain, Black King Kong?"
The old ancestor said unhappily: "You are asking even though you already know the answer. It's a waste of words! Ouch, ouch... my waist..."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, you old man are just a remnant of soul pieced together by the beast spirits, how can you feel the pain in your waist?
Then he asked, "Who is that snake-headed monster?"
"What snake-headed monster? That's a lizard, not a snake!"
"I think they're similar. They have snake heads and lizard heads, with long mouths and bulging eyes. They're really ugly!"
"Your abilities have improved a lot, but your eyesight is still the same. You haven't improved at all. Snake heads are flatter, and lizard heads are longer. Don't you even know this?"
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, I know what's the use of this, and continued to ask: "Then who is he?"
"It's my first time seeing one too. I heard from Black King Kong that his name is Feather Tailed Lizard. The people and spirits of Red Sand Country have simple minds, so naming is also simple. They just give the child a name based on what he looks like."
Chu Xiaomu thought so too. Aren’t the names of Rotten Eyes, Snake Eyes, Fire Wheel Eyes, and Scorpion Eyes named after their appearances?
He asked, "Why did they arrest you?"
The old ancestor said: "That Black King Kong was my mortal enemy before. We fought for four or five hundred years, and neither of us could do anything to the other. Naturally, we were angry at each other."
"Later, I was killed by the God Lord Chisha, and my body was burned by him with the dead fire. I guess Black King Kong also knew about it, so he has not come to the Beast Mountain to look for me for hundreds of years. This guy is fearless because of his strong spiritual power. Alas, it’s all because Shenwu Bumie died too early. If he had died three to five years later, this guy would have been killed by him."
Chu Xiaomu had heard the Queen Mother talk about the deeds of the immortal gods. He was not in a position to make any judgement on the details and could only sigh along with the ancestor.
"For some reason, the spirit of Black King Kong has been wandering around Beast Mountain recently, looking for something. This guy was so arrogant in my Beast Mountain, so I naturally discovered him. He never does good things, so I can't pretend that I didn't see him, so I wanted to follow him to see what he was going to do."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Ancestor, the mind is boundless in the spiritual realm, aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?"
"Of course I am afraid, why not? But it's hard for him to see me."
"why?"
"You are so stupid! The more powerful the spirit, the easier it is for others to sense it. I am just a remnant spirit now, so it is naturally difficult for me to attract other people's attention. For example, if an elephant and a mouse walk past you, who will you notice?"
"Of course it's the elephant. A mouse is so small and likes to sneak around, so who can notice it?"
"That's it, isn't it? I'm the sneaky mouse, and I thought Black Kong would never be able to find me. But who knew, alas..."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help laughing when he heard that the Beast Spirit Ancestor, who was revered as a god by thousands of beast spirits including the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, actually compared himself to a sneaky mouse.
The old ancestor sighed and continued, "Who knew that there was a feather-tailed lizard beside Black King Kong? This guy seems to be best at catching mice. I was discovered by him after following him for only a few miles..."
"When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. When Black King Kong saw that I still had a remnant of my soul, he was so angry that he kept yelling. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he would not let me go. So, naturally, I was captured by them."
Chu Xiaomu said: "Aren't you and him your mortal enemy? Can't you compete with him in spiritual power? At worst, you can escape."
The old ancestor glared at Chu Xiaomu fiercely and said, "I think you went to the West Beast Mountain to find that tigress for nothing. I am just a remnant of spirit that has been pieced together. My spiritual power has long been dispersed. How can I compete with him, and how can I escape?"
Chu Xiaomu thought, Master has indeed never taught me this. Only people with great magical powers can piece together a spirit body from a residual spirit. I am afraid Master can't do it either. But you old man keep saying that she is a tigress, which I cannot tolerate.
Then he said, "Master is not a tigress. She is actually a very good person. Don't talk nonsense again in the future."
The old ancestor was quite surprised to hear Chu Xiaomu call the Queen Mother his master, and asked, "You recognize the tigress as your master?"
Chu Xiaomu didn't want to rebuke this Beast Spirit Ancestor who was highly respected even by the King of Ten Thousand Beasts and his master, so he frowned and nodded.
The old ancestor sighed and said, "The rules of Beast Mountain for thousands of years have been completely broken here."
Chu Xiaomu was still a little worried about the Beast King, so he said, "Ancestor, how about I go to the Spirit Realm to lend a hand to the Beast King? That Black King Kong and Feather-tailed Lizard do look very powerful."
Before the old ancestor could speak, he heard someone outside the temple say, "No need."
Chu Xiaomu turned around and saw the burly King of Beasts walking in from the gate of the ancestral temple.
The King of Ten Thousand Beasts walked before the light and shadow of the Beast Spirit Ancestor, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, saying loudly: "Son of Emperor Xiao of the Beast Mountain, thank you very much for showing up and giving me guidance." He did not stand up for a long time.
The old ancestor waved his hand and said, "You didn't keep the good rules of Beast Mountain, but you still keep these useless and stinky rules as treasures."
Chu Xiaomu knew that the "these useless and stinky rules" he mentioned should be kneeling on the ground and shouting slogans. He thought that these etiquettes cannot be completely abolished, otherwise many things will be messed up.
The King of All Beasts said, "Ancestor is right. I will try to correct my mistakes in the future." His expression was extremely respectful.
The old ancestor said, "Emperor's son, if you don't understand something, you might as well tell me now. I still have to use the Force a few times on the kid next to you, otherwise the 'Double Rising Head' will never succeed."
The King of All Beasts asked, "My son, may I ask the ancestor, why did the Black King Kong and the Feather-tailed Lizard come to my Beast Mountain?"
The old ancestor thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
The King of All Beasts said, "Did they come here specifically for the ancestor?"
The old ancestor glared at him and said, "If that guy Black King Kong knew that I was not dead yet, he would have come a long time ago. There is no need to wait until now."
Chu Xiaomu interrupted and said, “Maybe he didn’t know that you were still here before.”
The old ancestor said: "What you said does make some sense, but I overheard a few words they said, and from what they said, it seems that they are not here to see me."
The King of Beasts asked, "What did they say?" He thought that these words were related to the safety of the Beast Mountain, so he had to find out clearly.
The old ancestor tilted his head to think for a moment, then said, "I'm old, and I don't remember it very clearly, but... that feather-tailed lizard seemed to have said something like 'baby'... Alas, old people are useless, and I really can't remember it clearly!"
The King of All Beasts frowned and said, "Could it be that you are here for the 'Three Dews and Seven Fruits'?"
