Chapter 834 The Origin of the Names of the Four Major Cities
"Did you kill Baqi?"
In the palace of the Lord of Qinglong City, Babylon looked at Lin Yi as if looking at a monster and said:
"You really bring surprises to people!"
Lin Yi shrugged indifferently and said:
"It was just a fluke."
In fact, if it weren't for the attack from the Eight-clawed Fire Chi that seriously injured Baqi and finally triggered the weapon's passive.
Based on the situation at that time, Lin Yi really didn't have the ability to deal with Baqi.
It's not wrong to say it was a fluke.
But for what Lin Yi said about 'lucky', Babylon just sneered and said:
"Although it broke free from the seal under the God of Khalsa in advance, its strength was greatly reduced."
"But no matter what, he is also a strange beast from ancient times."
"I was able to kill Kazuo Karasawa in Tianhe City right under his nose."
"Do you think this can be done just by saying 'lucky'?"
As for whether it was a fluke, Babylon actually didn't care much.
He continued:
"So, you should have gained a lot this time."
Lin Yi said tactfully:
"Okay."
"Okay? Haha~"
Here, Babylon took Lin Yi to the quiet pavilion in the back garden of the city lord's mansion.
At this time, the bright moon was hanging high, and the night was slightly cool.
The garden is surrounded by glowing energy crystals.
The hazy light, combined with the moonlight, gave the flower-filled back garden a unique kind of beauty.
When the two sat down, Babylon first poured a glass of sweet fruit wine for Lin Yi, and then asked:
"Tell me, why are you coming to me this time?"
Facing Babylon, an elder who had been very friendly to him from the beginning and helped him many times, Lin Yi had nothing to hide and asked directly:
"Is there an ancient beast sealed under our Qinglong City?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Babylon, who was holding a glass of fruit wine, suddenly made a move with his hand:
"Pa~"
The exquisite wine glass shattered instantly, even if the wine splashed around, it was not noticed.
Babylon looked at Lin Yi in shock:
"How did you know this?"
When seeing Babylon's reaction, Lin Yi suddenly said:
"Before killing Baqi, I also killed the eight-clawed fire dragon under Tianhe City."
"What!"
Babylon once again stood up in shock and looked at Lin Yi:
"you!"
"You killed the eight-clawed fire dragon?!"
Lin Yi naturally had nothing to hide about this, so he nodded and admitted:
"right!"
But seeing Babylon's reaction at this moment, Lin Yi himself was shocked.
He has been thinking about this issue since he came out of Tianchi.
Since ancient beasts like the Eight-clawed Fire Chi are sealed under Tianhe City, then there should also be some ancient beasts sealed under the four major cities in the Huaguo War Zone.
Lin Yi was very curious about this along the way. He didn't know what kind of ancient beasts were sealed under the four main cities. He wanted to see if there was a chance to turn them into guardian beasts of the main cities.
Only in that way will Lin Yi feel more at ease when facing the invasion of demons.
So as soon as Lin Yi came back, he went directly to Babylon and wanted to know some information from him.
But looking at Babylon's reaction just now, it is indeed a bit abnormal.
When I approached Kazuo Karasawa, the lord of Tianhe City, his reaction was not as big as that of Babylon!
After getting Lin Yi's exact answer, Babylon also doubted that he was there.
At this time, the shock on his face had faded away, and was replaced by a solemn expression:
"Can you break the seal of the Celestial Clan?"
If it were still the Bagua array, this would not be difficult for Lin Yi.
After all, it is something left by my ancestors, and it will not take a minute to crack it.
Lin Yi said bluntly:
"I broke the seal under Tianhe City."
"As for whether I can break the seals under other main cities, I have to look at them before I can draw a conclusion."
As he spoke, Lin Yi suddenly said curiously:
"What is the ancient beast sealed under our Qinglong City?"
Babylon did not directly explain Lin Yi's doubts, but looked at Lin Yi with some surprise:
"You...have reached level six?"
Then he took a deep breath:
"Hiss~"
"Uh~"
Lin Yi paused, nodded and said:
"The level has been reached, but I haven't had time to go to the sixth level yet."
If he hadn't drawn the Level 7 reward from [Godhead], under normal circumstances, Lin Yi would have to wait more than half a year to reach his current level.
At this time, Babylon suddenly fell silent, making Lin Yi stunned:
"What's wrong with this?"
After a while, Babylon slowly spoke:
"Don't you want to know what I, Qinglong City, are suppressing?"
"Okay, I'll tell you."
After saying that, Babylon sat down again, looked at the night sky in the distance, and murmured:
"In our Eastern Continent, four divine beasts were born from chaos in ancient times, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu."
"Nowadays, most people only remember these four mythical beasts, but don't know them."
"At the same time as the four divine beasts were born, four equally famous ferocious beasts were also born."
"These four ferocious beasts have the power to reach the heavens as soon as they are born, causing trouble in all directions and causing sorrow all over the land."
"Then after the four divine beasts learned of this situation, they united with the original Celestial Clan to suppress the four ferocious beasts under our current four major cities."
"Since then, the four great beasts have also disappeared from people's sight along with the suppression of the four ferocious beasts. No one knows their whereabouts."
"However, some people in later generations speculated that the four divine beasts were suppressed together with the four ferocious beasts under our four main cities."
"That's why our four major cities are named after the four divine beasts."
"But no one has been able to break the seal set by the Tian Clan, and this speculation has not been confirmed."
At this point, Babylon stopped.
Only then did Lin Yi truly learn the origin of the names of these four major cities.
Lin Yi could no longer contain his curiosity and said:
"Then who are these four ferocious beasts?"
Babylon said:
"Taotie, Taotie, Pixiu and Qiongqi."
When Lin Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened:
‘Why do these names sound so familiar! ’
If nothing unexpected happens, aren't these ferocious beasts all from the strange book that has been handed down to this day in China since ancient times?
Do these creatures really exist in this world?
Just when Lin Yi was shocked by this, Babylon spoke again:
"I was told this when I took over the position of city lord."
"When one day someone appears who can break the seal..."
He looked at Lin Yi blankly and suddenly stopped.
This made Lin Yi look a little impatient and said:
"Then what?"
"You told me the whole story!"
Babylon suddenly laughed and said:
"This is the day when my four divine beasts return."
