The world-devouring dragon

(Jin Yong is gone...)

After all, this girl is just a high school girl. Many girls of her age still cling to their parents' arms, acting coquettishly and looking forward to future love.

However, fate is unpredictable, and she has to follow her father, adoptive mother, and a thin young man with a bit of a nagging spirit to run around. She experiences gun battles in the city, becomes an enemy of the shadow government that controls the world, and goes to Antarctica to find the Nazi base. Fly to the moon to confront Hitler, face vampires, werewolves and other weird species...

The experience in less than half a year is already legendary, but why would she want such a legendary experience?

Even though she has the stubborn temper inherited from her parents and is unwilling to give up easily, she still feels frustrated and uneasy in an environment like the bottom of the sea.

Roberts looked at his frustrated daughter squatting on the ground, refusing to move forward, and Uberto gave him a look.

Want to take a break?

Roberts thought for a moment and nodded.

Uberto continued to think about his equipment, while Roberts sat next to Joan. The bad relationship between father and daughter due to long-term estrangement gradually faded with the experience of life and death together in the past six months, but like Sitting together and talking like this is still rare.

"Dad...why aren't you afraid."

Next to Uberto, Joan, who was sitting with her legs crossed, couldn't help but speak.

She didn't understand that the three of them were in the deep sea now, even if they wanted to escape, there was no place to escape, let alone any way to survive. So wasn't Roberts afraid?

Roberts looked at his daughter beside him. Even though she had experienced life and death several times, her face still looked immature and childish. After thinking about it, he put his hand on his daughter's head and spoke softly.

"Joan, everyone is afraid, but it is useless to be afraid. Dad is actually afraid too, but I won't show it."

However, what he responded to was his daughter's eyes of suspicion and distrust.

From Joan's point of view, her father never showed any fear. She was just confused as to why his father was not afraid, but she never thought that his father might have been afraid. Regarding Roberts' remarks, she only thought it was a clumsy trick by Roberts to comfort a child.

But Roberts shook his head.

"Qiong, Dad is indeed afraid. In fact, Dad is afraid of many things. The memory of being a child, being locked in a small dark room in the training camp when he was a little older, and... your mother's things, Dad is actually afraid of many things. matter."

When speaking of Joan's mother, Betty, Roberts paused for no apparent reason before continuing.

Looking at his daughter in front of him, stroking her hair and feeling the soft hair flowing through his fingers, he looked at her with complicated eyes and spoke softly.

"Of course Dad will be afraid, but Dad will also realize that fear alone is useless. Whenever he realizes this, Dad will force himself to overcome this fear and defeat this fear."

"Joan, remember, there is no such thing as a person who is not afraid of anything in this world. Human beings will be afraid. The reason why human beings are human beings is because they are flawed."

"Joan, fear is not shameful, because it is human nature, but at the same time, only humans who know fear can burst out with fearless courage. Human beings have a precious heart, which can be beautiful or evil. Human beings experience fear and at the same time feel the power of courage, the power that makes humans noble and great, transcending our natural limitations."

Speaking of this, for some reason his heart suddenly moved, and he murmured unconsciously.

"Perhaps, those who don't know what fear is...are only mindless beasts."

But when faced with Roberts' words, Joan's face showed confusion and confusion. At this age, she was still not able to understand what her father wanted to express.

Seeing the confusion on his daughter's face, Roberts didn't explain anything. He just leaned down and kissed her forehead, then held her in his arms. Feeling the weak and fragile daughter in his arms, he closed his eyes and comforted her softly.

"Qiong, don't worry, as long as dad is here, nothing will happen to you."

…

"Roberts, you may not understand that your daughter was destined to be involved in this from the moment she was born. This fate that has lasted for thousands of years may be time to end."

"A thousand-year destiny? What do you mean?!"

"Haha, even if you glare at me and be nervous, it's useless. Your daughter was chosen. No, or she is already the only candidate in the world..."

"..."

"No, I can't say directly. You have seen a lot of things and you should understand that some things are dangerous just by mentioning them in words..."

"..."

"It seems you have understood something. She has been chosen long ago. She is the crucial key."

"How can I save my daughter?"

"The only way out is to give up the differences and unite as one. Although the hope is slim, I will definitely try my best to help you...whether it is for myself or the world."

…

The dispute before Joan woke up echoed in his mind. Although Uberto never dared to say it directly out of some concerns, Roberts also vaguely guessed it. He has seen many things, and has also experienced some similar situations personally. If it is really what he thinks...

"Dad is here, so he won't let anything happen to you."

Roberts made a silent vow in his heart.

At this moment, a hoarse and weird voice sounded.

"Although I can understand that you and your daughter have a lot to say, I still want to bother you. I may have found a way out..."

Looking at the faintly visible light not far away, the three of them did not move forward rashly.

After advancing for about half an hour according to Uberto's instrument, some things gradually appeared in the originally uninhabited wilderness, such as broken stone tablets, desolate buildings, human-like corpses, strange armors, etc., but according to that Judging from the corpse, it was a humanoid creature with a long tail that resembled a four-legged snake.

When they saw the strange corpse, the expressions of the two people except Joan were strange, especially Uberto's expression was extremely serious and cold, and they seemed to realize something.

After continuing to move forward, a little light gradually appeared in the dark place in the distance.

"What do you think lies ahead? Uberto."

"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing... This is in a wonderful protective shield thousands of miles under the sea. The things in this protective shield may be older than the history of human civilization. I can't estimate what will happen here. Something appears."

Uberto was silent for a moment, and then spoke again in a hoarse and weird voice.

"But that corpse...if it is as we speculated, maybe we have really found an incredible place. Roberts, why are we here? Do you think this is fate or accident?"

Roberts' expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of determination.

Qiong was a little confused about the vague conversation between the two, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Father, Uberto, what are you talking about?"

Roberts did not speak, but Uberto looked at her, staring at her with his erect snake eyes, opening and closing his mouth gradually filled with fangs.

"Joan, do you know the legend of the Snake Man?"

But before Joan could speak, he shook his head.

"No, maybe I shouldn't ask that. After all, the legend about the snake man is a very secret record, and you shouldn't know it."

"In some extremely ancient legends in the other world, there is a group of creatures living in the sea. It is said that they have snake-like bodies but human-like limbs. They have established a highly developed civilization on the seabed. It existed at the same time as the Atlanteans, and humans called it the snake-people civilization. But according to legend, these snake-people civilization has disappeared."

"Originally I didn't expect it, but looking at it now...the seabed, the protective shield, and the snake-like human corpses, maybe they have not disappeared."

As he spoke, Uberto couldn't help but take a deep breath, but the narrowed trachea made his inhaling behavior sound weird, like a leaking air duct.

"Roberts, I think we'd better get ready for a fight. Are you sure we should move on? Rob..."

But there was no response from him. Uberto couldn't help but turn his head and look at Roberts beside him. Roberts raised his head and seemed to be looking somewhere in the distance without answering Uberto.

"Roberts?"

"I think... we no longer need to consider whether to move forward."

Looking into the distance, Roberts murmured.

Uberto followed Roberts' gaze, and his pupils reflected the huge army coming like a black cloud...

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by the thundering roars of the giant beasts in the sea, the sea beasts as heavy as Titans were driven forward; in the center of the army, the general holding the flag was wearing golden armor, only revealing a pair of vertical snake eyes. It was riding on a whale, huge A whale like a hill is floating in the air on the clouds, wearing a thick golden armor that covers half of its body, soaring in the air and spitting out clouds and mist; the beautiful mermaid riding a dolphin plays the flute and plucks the harp for the army Play music; the extremely tall giants in the sea step on heavy steps, and the armor on their bodies makes them mighty like gods holding up the sky; the winged creatures flying in the air are armed with bows and arrows and brass fire blunderbuss, ready to shoot the enemy at any time; The sharp murlocs marched neatly on the ground, the whiskers around their mouths swaying in the wind, but their calm and murderous auras hit their faces...

The ancient snake-man civilization has really not disappeared. At this moment, they appeared in front of the three people.

…

Somewhere along the coast.

The vast ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, and the blue connects the sea and the sky. The moody sea awes humans. After all, who can be in the sea and not be in awe of it?

But today, in front of this oldest human being, the ever-changing sea seemed extremely calm. The water was calm and waveless, calm and even a little submissive.

The oldest human looked at the sea in front of him. With his muscles and body exposed, he felt the feeling of his body being blown by the sea breeze, as if he was lost in memory recalling something.

After a long time, he walked towards the sea.

The seawater gradually submerged his ankles, his waist, his hair...until he was completely submerged.

Under the water, the oldest human being stepped on the fine sand under his feet, and his long hair swayed like seaweed in the sea. Staring at the darkness in front of him, he walked silently and step by step towards the deepest part of the seabed.

In the sea water, there were countless low voices saying something submissively.

"king."

The oldest human being, the king of the ocean and the lord of the snake people who was exiled by the snake people.
