Chapter 96: Strength surges, jungle secrets
When Lu Kai thought of how Xiaolong and his family were getting along happily together, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Kai was not worried that they would not accept Xiaolong, but he didn't know how surprised Fu Ya and the others would be when they knew Xiaolong's true identity.
As for the underground cave, Lu Kai had no plans to go there for the time being, and he couldn't go there either, so he just left everything there for now.
Anyway, there are no ordinary creatures to be found in that place, so there is no need to worry about safety.
At a depth of 5,000 meters, the underground cave is connected only by an underground river and a lake. It should be impossible for anyone or any creature to discover and enter it.
What's more, just in case, Lu Kai has blocked the passage connecting the two caves and made some camouflage on the outside of the cave.
Even if some small animals accidentally break in, they will not be able to find the cave behind it.
Behind the cave is the secret base of Luke and Xiaolong. If Luke needs money or a devil fruit, he can just come here to get it.
Lu Kai can't do it now, but he is not worried. Once his space fruit is better developed, a distance of five thousand meters will be a matter of teleportation, and that day will not be too far away.
Lu Kai and Xiao Long first came to the area where the two overlords were. Seeing Lu Kai, all the beasts from the two major groups, white tigers and swamp crocodiles, were no longer surprised.
However, when they saw the human-shaped little dragon, many white tigers and giant crocodiles suddenly became extremely alert. It was the animals' instinctive alertness towards ferocious beasts.
The little dragon's breath seemed familiar to them, but they couldn't figure out what it was.
"Call your king to see me!" Lu Kai shouted to the surrounding beasts, not caring who would go to call, and directly started studying the extremely tough snake eggs with Xiaolong.
Lu Kai originally planned to use this snake egg to make a set of scale armor for Fu Ya. After all, it would be a shame not to use such incredible defense to make armor.
However, no matter what method Lu Kai and Xiaolong used, they could not leave the slightest trace on the snake eggs, let alone sew them into armor.
Then Lu Kai directly turned on the scanning function and read the properties of the snake eggs.
[Dragon snake eggs: eggs produced when dragon snakes evolve and mutate. They are a highly concentrated product of dragon snake skin and are extremely tough.]
Lu Kai was speechless. He didn't expect such a change to happen.
You know, the skin of the three overlords is already unbreakable, and it is highly concentrated. No wonder the defense of snake eggs is so terrifying.
What if I didn't eat the teleportation fruit and couldn't bring the little dragon out? Would I be trapped to death in there?
It’s a trap. It’s really a trap.
"But if it's too tough, it can't be made into clothes. Should we ask Dimo or Sina to come up with a solution? Or should we ask a tailor to eat the softening fruit before making the operation?"
While Lu Kai was thinking, the White Tiger King and the Giant Crocodile King had already rushed over. When the two beasts saw the little dragon, their pupils suddenly shrank, revealing expressions of disbelief and some fear.
The two beasts were more familiar with the breath of little dragons than other beasts, so they immediately felt that the little girl in front of them was little dragon.
But the aura emitted by the little dragon at this moment was so astonishing. It did not sound like the aura of a cub at all. It was actually not inferior to that of the dragon and snake king.
"I called you here because I have something to ask you!" Lu Kai said to the two beasts, "There are too many secrets in this jungle. Xiaolong is a cub, so he can't express himself clearly and knows only a limited amount. Tell me what you know!"
The two beasts looked at each other hesitantly, but still nodded.
The two beasts couldn't speak, and Lu Kai didn't know animal language, but the two beasts could always understand what Lu Kai said. It was magical.
Moreover, the demeanor of the two beasts was just like that of humans, and their expressions were very accurate. Lu Kai guessed and asked, and the two beasts shook their heads to deny or nodded to confirm. After a long communication, Lu Kai finally slowly understood the whole story.
The Carlson Jungle is a primitive jungle and it is impossible to verify how long it has existed.
The Itachisian texts were first recorded a thousand years ago, but the Carlson Jungle must have existed much longer than that.
More than eight hundred years ago, a man suddenly came to the Carlson Jungle. He was extremely powerful and could even resist the miasma in the jungle.
At that time, there was only one overlord in the core of the jungle, and that was the dragon snake.
After the arrival of that strong man, not only did he not fight with the dragons and snakes, but he became good friends with that generation of dragons and snakes.
Then the strong man explained his purpose, which was that he felt this place was special and wanted to hide something here.
With the help of dragons and snakes, the strong man opened up a huge cave underground, and then used his special abilities to transport large quantities of things and hid them in the cave.
The strong man told Longshe that he was surrounded by powerful enemies and could not take these things away for the time being. He could only leave them here. If he survived the crisis, they would come and take them away.
However, if he did not come back within a year, all these things would be given to the Dragon Snake Clan as gifts. Then the strong man left, and when he left, he also left behind his pets, several white tigers and several crocodiles.
Unexpectedly, the strong man never came back.
However, the Dragon Snake Clan did not take the things hidden by the strong man for themselves, but chose to continue protecting them for their friends.
Not only that, the Dragon Snake Clan has also been protecting the pets left behind by the strong men, namely the white tigers and crocodiles.
Under the protection of the dragons and snakes, and the influence of the fragments of the collapsed world's will, after generations of reproduction and evolution, the White Tiger Clan and the Crocodile Clan continued to grow stronger and eventually became the new two overlords of the Carlson Jungle.
Things were going pretty well up to this point, but before the strong man left, the White Tiger Ancestor and the Crocodile Ancestor were very reluctant to leave and wanted to follow him.
However, the strong ones told them that this place held the secret that would lead to their ultimate evolution, and that staying here would bring them great opportunities, so they were advised to cherish them.
The ancestors of the two beasts naturally obeyed their ancestors' words, stayed, and gave birth to the white tiger clan and the giant crocodile clan.
However, as time went by, as their strength grew, and as they continued to be renewed and replaced, some of the descendants of the two overlords developed very high intelligence and also developed different thoughts.
About two hundred years ago, the two beast kings, unwilling to be trapped in the Carlson Jungle, once negotiated with the dragon snake clan, hoping that the dragon snakes could hand over the secret of ultimate evolution that their ancestors had mentioned.
In fact, this is because in the process of passing down the secrets from generation to generation between the two beasts, what the strong man once said has been misunderstood. They thought that the secret of the so-called ultimate evolution was given to the dragon snake by the strong man and was guarded by the dragon snake clan.
As expected, Longshe directly refused.
Not to mention that they have no idea about the secret of ultimate evolution, even if they did, they would never hand over such a trustworthy dragon and snake.
The two kings of the beasts held a grudge against this.
At that time, neither the White Tiger Clan nor the Giant Crocodile Clan were a match for the Dragon Snake Clan even if they joined forces, but the seeds of cholera had already been sown.
