Xiu She sneered, "The Dongyi people insist on fabricating a lie, saying that I came out to harm the local people, so they sent Yi to kill me. It was clearly a struggle between two forces, and I just lost. But they make it sound like I've lost my mind. Am I, the dignified Miao-Man totem, a demon god born of heaven and earth, really that pathetic!"

The group looked at each other strangely. It turned out that what angered it most was not being killed back then, but being treated as an ordinary ferocious beast that plagued the world.

Yu Yanluo asked with some surprise, "The legend that Yi killed you back then is just an exaggeration. Did you find a chance to escape?"

The snake's head turned slightly red: "Ahem, Yi was indeed powerful back then. I really couldn't beat him, and... I didn't manage to escape either. He cut me into several pieces."

At first, I felt a little ashamed, but later I became more at ease.

Zuan even vaguely sensed a hint of pride in the other person's tone.

What the hell? Is it an honor to die at Yi's hands?

Xiu She continued, "The mountain range beneath your feet is called Baling by the locals, and it is actually formed from my bones back then."

The group was genuinely surprised. They had seen the mountain's undulating and winding shape before, which did resemble a snake. However, Zu'an and the others had carefully examined the mountain before and found it to be inanimate, so they hadn't thought much of it.

Unexpectedly, this mountain was actually a Xiu Snake, only its corpse had been transformed.

The fact that the corpse transformed into a continuous mountain range shows just how large the serpent's body must have been back then.

At this moment, Yu Yanluo looked at the other person with concern: "Then what are you doing now..."

The implication is simple: since you're already dead, what state are you in now?

Zuan had just examined it closely and found that although it looked fierce, it did not have any dark aura. You see, ever since he cultivated the "Primordial Chaos Scripture" and learned to purify evil spirits, he has become very sensitive to such things.

But the snake in front of us clearly doesn't belong to this category.

The serpent sighed: "Back then, I failed in my mission and was defeated by Yi, which led to the defeat of the Miao and Man tribes. However, they did not blame me. On the contrary, they wept bitterly and spontaneously built a serpent temple for me to commemorate me, offering sacrifices day and night with incense burning continuously. Then, I don't know when, I suddenly came back to life."

"Actually, it's not really called resurrection. I don't know what state this is in." Xiu She's expression was clearly somewhat confused.

“The power of faith,” Zuan said in a deep voice. All those novels and movies he had read in his previous life weren’t for nothing. The power of human faith can condense gods. This Xiu Snake clearly belonged to this category because the local people truly believed in it, and even after its death, incense offerings continued. That’s why it was “resurrected” in its burial place.

Xiu She's eyes lit up: "As expected of a friend of Nuwa's descendant, your insight is truly admirable. I see, I see, hahaha..."

At first, his laughter was excited, but later it became more sorrowful, and then it was touching; you could even see obvious tear tracks in his eyes.

The snake came to the window and looked at the scattered islands in the Dongting Lake: "Back then, I only stayed here as a so-called guardian because I saw that they were respectful to me and the things they offered me always suited my taste. Actually, I was laughing at their foolishness back then, thinking that I would leave when I got tired of staying. I never expected that I would be resurrected by these guys I used to laugh at."

His expression was extremely complex as he spoke, making it difficult to describe in words.

Yu Yanluo said softly, "These people love and respect you, and you love them just as much. If you really didn't care at all, as you say, why would you have resolutely joined the battle against someone like Yi and sacrificed your life because they had a conflict with the Dongyi?"

yawenba.

Zuan and the others nodded secretly. With the strength of this Xiu She, if it weren't for these Miao and Man people, he could have lived a carefree life in the world, and would not have been killed here.

Xiu She was somewhat dazed: "I'm not as great as you say..."

As it spoke, its voice lowered, and it was unclear what it was thinking.

"By the way, we just saw you swallow an elephant in the lake. Was that you?" Zuan asked doubtfully. Since it was reborn with the power of faith, it shouldn't still have the appetite for hunting, right?

Xiu She was taken aback. After inquiring about the details, he chuckled and said, "What you should have seen was a remnant of what happened back then. This Dongting Lake is somewhat special, and since you are outsiders, especially since she has the bloodline of Nuwa, it caused the environment to resonate and recreate the scene from back then."

The group then realized why Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue couldn't harm the giant snake no matter how they attacked.

They were worried that the giant snake was a powerful space-type being, but they never expected this outcome.

"By the way, why did you come here?" The snake suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

The group looked somewhat embarrassed, but Yu Yanluo still explained the reason for their trip to it in a tactful way.

“I see,” Xiu She chuckled. “That’s easy. Since you are a descendant of Nuwa, we are also considered to be human. I will guide you out later. Back then, in order to protect the people here, I cast a spell on this Dongting Lake, making it very difficult for ordinary people to get out.”

The group looked at each other, surprised that what they thought was a problem had been solved in this way.

"By the way, you just mentioned that the great war back then was between you and the Dongyi people, wasn't it the Yanhuang tribe?" Zu'an suddenly asked, remembering something.

"The Yanhuang tribe?" Xiu She frowned. "They were mortal enemies back then. When did they form a tribe? The people who fought us back then were indeed the Dongyi people. Those people worship the phoenix and the black bird." Zu An's heart stirred. Shun had said before that the White Emperor lineage worshipped the phoenix. So it seems that the White Emperor lineage is related to the Dongyi?
