【Law of the Abyss】

"Someone is coming? Did you hear it?" Mu Bei looked at Su Lin.

"It's hard to say what's coming." Su Lin said lightly.

"That's right. It could be the same as the one just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Bei saw a young man in black appear in front of them.

The boy looks very handsome, he has long purple hair and he is holding a purple cat in his arms.

The cat's eyes are purple, the same color as the boy's, very rare and very beautiful.

"Sister Su, I knew you were back."

Su Lin's lips curled up, she walked up and touched the boy's hair: "Zi Su, why are you here?"

The young man raised his lips and said, "I miss Sister Su. After Sister Su left, I came here every day, hoping that you would come back."

The smile in Su Lin's eyes became even brighter: "How are Uncle Zi and Aunt Zi?"

The boy nodded: "They are all fine and miss you too. Sister Su, can you come back with me to see them?"

Su Lin glanced at Mu Bei and was about to refuse, but unexpectedly the boy directly grabbed Mu Bei's arm and smiled brightly.

"Brother, you must be Sister Su's friend. You are welcome to come to my house with Sister Su. Are you willing?"

The boy smiled sweetly and innocently. Mu Bei was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only look at Su Lin.

"You decide. I'll listen to you."

A hint of joy flashed across the boy's face, and he walked forward and pulled Su Lin's sleeve tightly.

"Sister Su, look, my brother has agreed, so why don't you go?"

Su Lin always had a faint smile on her face, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The smile on the boy's face slowly faded. He realized that this was the other party's refusal, but he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to try one more time.

"Sister Su, actually, something happened in Zi Village. I want you to go take a look. I suspect it has something to do with what you are looking for this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Lin's smile deepened. She glanced at the boy and said, "Then let's go and take a look together. Zisu, you lead the way."

The young man led the way in front. Mu Bei walked next to Su Lin. He whispered beside her, "Is there anyone living here?"

Su Lin looked at him and said nothing.

However, the young man next to him heard it, and he turned around and smiled at Mu Bei.

"Brother, we are not human."

"not human?"

Mu Bei looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't figure out what he was. If he was not a human, then what was he?

"Brother, guess what we are?"

The boy spoke in a cheerful tone and seemed to be in a good mood.

Mu Bei guessed several times but failed to get it right. The boy shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, none of them are right, brother, guess again. If you guess wrong, you have to promise me something."

The boy's eyes were shining with purple luster, and he licked his lips unconsciously, but Mu Bei's eyes fell on the boy's tongue.

His tongue is forked?

There was a sly light in the boy's eyes, and something flickered in his pupils.

Mu Bei's eyes fell on the boy's wrist, which was covered with a layer of light purple scales.

Suddenly, Mu Bei thought of something and blurted out: "Are you from the snake tribe?"

The young man curled his lips, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"Brother, I thought you could help me with something."

"Are you really a snake?"

The boy nodded: "Of course, it's genuine."

"Why do you live here?" Mu Bei was a little curious.

The boy glanced at him, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

"Where else can we go except here? You know, the world has never liked us snakes. Only in the abyss, people will not despise us."

"why?"

"Because those who live here are aliens in the eyes of the world. We are all monsters."

The boy's tone was calm, but Mu Bei felt a little sad when he heard it.

He understood that feeling, that the wall of prejudice would automatically block out many things.

"What is it that you want me to do for you? Maybe I can help you with it."

The boy's eyes lit up: "Brother, are you really willing to help me?"

Mu Bei nodded slightly in shock: "If I can do it, I'm willing to help you."

The young man hugged him and said, "Brother, you are so kind. Don't worry, you can definitely do this."

The boy's confident look aroused Mu Bei's curiosity: "What exactly do you want me to do?"

The boy stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.

After hearing this, Mu Bei was completely stunned. Is this even possible?

Su Lin looked at the two of them with amusement: "What are you two doing in secret?"

The young man glanced at Mu Bei and said to Su Lin, "Sister Su, this is a secret."

Then, he left quickly, and before leaving, he did not forget to remind Mu Bei: "Brother, this is our secret, don't tell Sister Su."

Mu Bei nodded and replied calmly, "Okay."

Su Lin raised the corner of her mouth. She walked in front of Mu Bei and stared at him.

Mu Bei felt embarrassed by her gaze and could only beg for mercy: "Su Lin, don't look at me like that, I can't stand it."

Su Lin smiled slightly and pinched Mu Bei's face.

"Not bad, it's only been a short while and you've already shared a secret with me. It seems like Zi Su likes you very much."

Mu Bei laughed and said nothing.

Su Lin put one hand on his shoulder, hugged his neck, and whispered, "Tell me, what is your secret?"

Mu Bei shook his head: "I really can't say that."

Over there, the young man also turned around and said to the two of them, "We're here, come in quickly."

Zi Village is very small. The boy’s home is located in the inner part of the village. Behind it is a mountain called Zimu Mountain.

The so-called Mother and Child Mountain is a mountain where one big and one small are next to each other. The big mountain embraces the small one, which looks like a mother holding her child, so it is called Mother and Child Mountain.

It was the first time that Mu Bei saw such a mountain and he also found it strange.

Unexpectedly, Zi Su told him the origin of Zimu Mountain, which moved him even more.

A long time ago, a mother and her son from the snake clan went to the mountains to collect herbs. As a result, they encountered an earth dragon shaking. In order to protect her son, the mother held him in her arms, but she died as a result.

The surviving son wanted to take his mother's body back, but he encountered the earth dragon again and this time he couldn't escape.

Not long after the two died, two mountains appeared here. The shapes of the mountains resembled the mother and child very much, so everyone called them Mother and Child Mountains.

Mu Bei glanced at Zimu Mountain and felt quite emotional.

Unexpectedly, the young man smiled and said, "You don't really believe it, do you?"

Mu Bei looked at him in confusion: "Ah? Is it fake?"

The young man smiled and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but Zi Mu Mountain is indeed a little different."

"Why is it different?"

"We, the Purple Snake Clan, have to stay alone in Zimu Mountain for one night on the day we reach adulthood, and we will come back the next day."

Mu Bei was secretly amazed that there was such a custom here.

The young man glanced at the two of them and continued, "However, something happened at Zimu Mountain this year."
