Chapter 213: Sparrow's life story, the origin of the old drought demon [asking for monthly tickets]

The old drought demon was not very tall, and was wearing tattered armor. His skin was dry and his eyes were hollow. He looked like a devil who had lived for countless years, and his whole body was filled with cold blood.

This should be a powerful creature, but at this time, Hanba was sitting on a small rock, hugging his legs with his hands, with his shriveled face resting on his folded arms, looking like a beaten centenarian.

"Old Senior, why do you have to make such a gesture? We are not bad people."

Lu Zhan spread his hands, feeling something was wrong.

Hanba is quite powerful and has a clear independent consciousness, which means that he has recovered his memories before his death. This means that he can even use the magical powers he had before his death, and his combat power will be further improved.

So...why are you so cowardly?

"If you are not a bad person, then why did you come to my house?" Hanba spoke in a dialect that was spoken thousands of years ago, with a timid look in his eyes.

"Why did you run away when you saw us?" Lu Zhan asked what was in his mind. After all, he should fight first, and then admit defeat when he found that he could not win. This was the normal procedure.

Queque was also a little curious. She stretched out her white and tender little fingers and said, "Speak Mandarin!"

Hanba raised his head, his eyes full of fear: "I received a letter from the old monster in the swamp. The old monster in the swamp said that if I encounter a handsome man holding a thunder gun and accompanied by a fat... bird, I should run as far away as possible and not provoke him."

Hanba's Mandarin accent is a bit strange, but it's still understandable.

Jinba next to him was trembling. He was trembling not because he was too afraid of Lu Zhan, but because he was scared of the ancestor's reaction.

Even Old Master Ren is so timid, let alone him, the weak Jinba.

"That's not a good enough reason." Lu Zhan knew himself well. Although he was very strong, he was not so strong that a mid-stage Creation Realm master could see him and run away. "If Senior Swamp had sent you a message, it should have been to tell you to beat me up when you met me."

Ling Jiaoyue's eyes moved slightly and she glanced at Lu Zhan indifferently. She didn't know who the swamp monster was, but Lu Zhan was quite self-aware.

The shriveled face of Hanba trembled, and an extremely complicated expression appeared. However, because his flesh and blood were not full, his face was wrinkled like a bun, which looked quite ugly.

He glared at Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue, cursing his bad luck in his heart.

Frankly speaking... the content of the letter that the old swamp monster wrote to him was indeed to denounce Lu Zhan for having no moral bottom line, and asked him to beat Lu Zhan severely after seeing him.

but…

Hanba glanced at Queque, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Fairy Ling was keenly aware of something wrong. She walked slowly and gracefully towards Hanba. When she reached Hanba, she asked calmly, "Senior, do you know Queque?"

Lu Zhan also felt that there was a reason for this. The fighting power of him and Ling Jiaoyue would never make Hanba so fearful.

At least you have to fight before you become afraid.

Hanba said with a sad face: "I don't want to tell you, but you insist on asking, so I will tell you..."

"Speak Mandarin!" Queque stretched out her white and tender little hand again and said seriously.

Hanba was indignant in his heart. Why did he have to embarrass an old antique who had lived for so long? He really didn't speak Mandarin very well!

The old Hanba said timidly: "I don't know her, but I sensed a dangerous aura from her."

"Danger?" Queque pointed at herself and retorted crisply: "I am a cute sparrow, how can I be dangerous? Old Hanba, I advise you not to talk nonsense, otherwise I will be angry!"

Queque clenched her little pink fists, bared her teeth and made ferocious gestures, showing no sign of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

But with her pink face and pretty pink dress, she looked more like a cute little girl, so her threat had no lethality at all.

But even so, the old drought demon was still frightened.

The child's words are becoming more and more immature... Lu Zhan rubbed Queque's head, and his tone gradually became gentle: "Don't be afraid, old senior, Queque is just naughty, she won't do anything to you... Since you don't know Queque, why do you think she is dangerous?"

The Jinba next to it was also very curious and made strange gurgling sounds.

Translated it means: Yes, ancestor, I don’t think there is anything wrong, it’s just a fat bird.

"Roar..." Hanba growled a warning at Jinba, which immediately scared Jinba to death.

Hanba looked at Queque, his empty eyes filled with a layer of blood mist. He seemed to be trying to see something, but the moment the blood mist filled the eyes, he was in a hurry to lower his head.

Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue looked at each other and saw impatience in each other's eyes. This old drought man was dithering and didn't behave like a senior at all, which made them want to torture him to extract a confession.

But the other party had a good attitude and was a drought demon with independent consciousness. He hid here only to harm others. The two of them rashly tortured him and it looked like they were beating a kind-hearted centenarian.

Finally, Ling Jiaoyue looked at Queque and said, "You ask."

There is no better choice than letting a 200-year-old child beat up an old man of several thousand years old.

"What do you mean, my great king?" Queque put her hands on her hips and looked at the old Hanba's timid look. She stretched out her calves and stepped on Hanba's feet with her exquisite embroidered shoes, threatening him, "Will you tell me or not?!"

Obviously Queque didn't use any strength, but Lao Hanba suddenly jumped up, as if his foot was stepped on by a tremendous force.

“I say…I say…” Old Hanba spoke in a panicky dialect. He finally understood that these three people had nothing to do and he had given up resistance, so why did he keep asking questions? Is it interesting?

Ling Jiaoyue frowned: "Senior, please speak quickly."

"It's strange to talk about this..." The old Hanba hesitated for a moment before saying, "In fact, my hometown thousands of years ago was not here. At that time, I was not a zombie, but just an ordinary zombie. I was the grandfather of a wealthy family, known as Old Master Ren. After a difficult evolution, I became a golden zombie..."

This matter had to be told from the beginning, so Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue simply sat down.

However, the inside of the drought demon's lair was not very clean. Ling Jiaoyue was a girl who loved cleanliness very much. She thought about it, then walked to Lu Zhan, pulled up Lu Zhan's robe and put it under her buttocks, then sat down and listened.

Lu Zhan said unhappily: "If Miss Ling has mysophobia, you can sit on my lap."

Ling Jiaoyue said nothing. She would blush and her heart would beat fast when she heard this in the past, but now that she has been with Lu Zhan for a long time, she has become somewhat immune to it.

The two did not argue, but listened quietly to Hanba's narration.

Hanba said seriously, "It's actually very simple. Thousands of years ago, the Fire Phoenix King saw that I was very powerful and wanted to discuss the Dao with me, so he invited me to this fairy island three times and treated me as a guest of honor. I am a humble and polite person, so I always respect the bird tribe. That's why I didn't make it difficult for you for the sake of Queque's face."

Lu Zhan frowned: "Tell the truth!"

"Well... the truth is that the Fire Phoenix King wanted to temper her fire power. She heard that the flesh of the Ba species in the world is the strongest, so she tied me up when I was still a Golden Ba and used the Phoenix Divine Fire to refine me for half an hour every day... Then I became a Drought Ba. I felt that this bird had the aura of the Fire Phoenix King, so I didn't dare to provoke it!"

Hanba finished summarizing his life in one breath, his face burning. Young people nowadays really don’t give old people any face at all. Do we really have to dig to the bottom of it?

He himself did not want to say it because it was too embarrassing.

After all, he now has his own followers. If these news were known by his followers, what would happen to his prestige? What would happen to his dignity?

Ling Jiaoyue was surprised: "So, you were forcibly transformed into a drought demon?"

“You can say that…” Old Hanba showed a sad look on his face: “When I became Jinba, I had not yet fully awakened my memories of my previous life, and my IQ was like that of a six or seven-year-old child… For me, the Fire Phoenix King beat me from childhood to adulthood, rain or shine, without interruption.”

Lu Zhan was surprised: "So Que Que's identity..."

Lu Zhan did not finish his words, but looked at the little goblin. The little goblin opened his mouth slightly, obviously looking surprised, as if shocked by the news.

Ling Jiaoyue also reacted belatedly.

Fire Phoenix King...Queque...it turns out that this island was where the Fire Phoenix lived when he was alive.

The fact that Queque had the aura of the Fire Phoenix King made the old Hanba tremble, thinking of the fear of being dominated by the Fire Phoenix in the past.

Could it be that... Queque is actually a little phoenix?

Ling Jiaoyue was shocked. She knew that Queque was very intelligent and had cultivated into a human form in just two hundred years. However, she had never thought that Queque was a phoenix. Even when the Fiery Eagle couple said that Queque was unusual, she did not think in that direction.

Because this idea is too bold.

Ling Jiaoyue looked towards Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan also said seriously: "If Queque really has the aura of the Fire Phoenix, why didn't others feel it?"

"What are their strengths? What is my strength?" Old Hanba was a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "Besides, looking at the entire Fairy Island, who can understand the Fire Phoenix King as well as I do?"

This is indeed the case. The only thing that can keep the Fire Phoenix King fighting for hundreds or even thousands of years is probably the old drought demon.

"Are my parents Phoenixes?" Queque came back to her senses from shock, hope flickering in her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, and her little ears trembling slightly. She wanted to know about her parents.

She has been an orphan since birth. At that time, she was bald all over and could not even walk. She cried for food like other baby birds, but she had no parents to feed her and had to rely on the northwest wind to fill her stomach.

Later she discovered that it was not the northwest wind. She could eat spiritual energy to fill her stomach. Later, she grew feathers by drinking the wind and slowly learned to fly.

Later, she grew up on her own. During the migration, she accidentally came to Jinling and settled down there.

In the past, Lu Zhan always asked her about her childhood. She did not lie. She indeed could not remember many things clearly, but she always remembered how she survived. She also remembered how much she envied other birds with parents when she was young. She wished she had parents.

Hanba shook his head: "I can't be sure, but you do have the aura of the Fire Phoenix King. Before the Fire Phoenix King fell, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of power to activate the island ban, perhaps to protect his descendants... But I can't be sure whether you are one of them."

Queque blinked, and mist appeared in her eyes.

Lu Zhan couldn't bear it, so he comforted her twice and said, "Since you can sense her difference, can't you confirm her identity?"

Hanba shook his head and said, "Although she has that aura, she is now clearly a skylark. The Phoenix Clan does change their form at certain times, but I have never heard of them changing into something like this."

"Anyway, I can't explain it in detail. If you really want to know, keep exploring deeper. If you can find the essence of the divine fire formed after the fall of the Fire Phoenix King, and throw it in to refine it, maybe you will get the answer."
