"How many more do you want?" Kappa jumped up and even forgot about Lin Yi's overwhelming strength. He pointed at Lin Yi's head and scolded, "You greedy, shameless human! This is a water droplet that can only be produced in a hundred years! How many do you think there are?"
Lin Yi paused. He couldn't help but look at this child-like Kappa curiously. He did look a little weird, with a little bit of slyness in him, but he was still a simple and honest guy. That impatient look of his was quite interesting.
After a while, Kappa also reacted. It quickly retracted its hand and took a few steps back. Looking at Lin Yi, it stammered in fear, "You … you should leave quickly. I don't have any more water droplets, not even one …"
"Really?" Lin Yi didn't believe it. He questioned, "Since it can only be produced in a hundred years, and no one has been here for at least a thousand years, how can there only be one? Even if there aren't ten or twenty, there should be at least eight or ten, right? "
This Primordial Trial Ground only opened once every thousand years. In other words, the last time a human cultivator set foot in this place was at least a thousand years ago. Moreover, this place was so strange and remote that ordinary people would not be able to discover it. Perhaps no one had come here for thousands of years.
"Eight or ten? Are you crazy? " Kappa was about to go berserk again. However, facing the pressure from Lin Yi, it didn't dare to be too presumptuous. It could only suppress its anger and patiently explained, "An entire river, under the protection of our Kappa clan, can only produce one water droplet after a hundred years. After the water droplet is formed, it needs to be nourished continuously. Moreover, we have to spend even more energy to nourish the Holy Water Droplet …"
"Holy Water Droplet?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
"Uh …" Kappa suddenly realized that it had said something it shouldn't have. It quickly changed its words, "What Holy Water Droplet? I'm just talking about water droplets. Anyway, there is only one water droplet. Even if you kill me, I won't get another one."
"Really?" Lin Yi stared at it with a faint smile.
Kappa couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After thinking for a while, it said, "If worst comes to worst, I will return that human to you …"
"That human? Oh, you mean Fei Yangsheng? " Hearing this, Lin Yi was embarrassed. He had almost forgotten about this. After all, Kappa was not one of them, so he didn't really care about Fei Yangsheng. Fortunately, Kappa was not a ferocious spirit beast. Otherwise, after such a long time, Fei Yangsheng would have eaten up everything.
Not long after, Fei Yangsheng was dragged out by Kappa like a dead dog. It seemed that he didn't suffer any serious injuries. He just lost consciousness temporarily. Bubbles were still coming out of his mouth …
"Leave, leave quickly. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will die here, absolutely!" Kappa almost begged. Of course, it didn't care about Lin Yi's life or death, but the problem was that if its master found out that a human cultivator had broken in, even it would be punished, and it might even be buried with Lin Yi.
"How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. Answer a few of my questions, and I will leave after you understand them." Lin Yi said.
Kappa hesitated for a moment. It knew that it wasn't a good idea to delay like this. However, it couldn't defeat Lin Yi, so it could only bite the bullet and said, "Okay, you said it yourself. You can't go back on your words."
"Okay, how many Kappa are there here?" Lin Yi asked. This wasn't what he really cared about, he was just curious.
"Just me," Kappa answered straightforwardly.
"You are the only one in your Kappa clan?" Lin Yi was stunned. He thought that since it was a clan, there should be as many Kappa as the Ancient Goumang Clan. There should at least be an Ancient Kappa King, but he didn't expect that there was only one Kappa.
"There used to be a lot of them, but a big accident happened a hundred years ago. Everyone was killed by my master. I was the only one left to take care of the Herb Garden." Kappa said with a hint of sadness.
"What kind of existence is your master? Don't you hate him? " Lin Yi asked casually. According to what Kappa said, it should be an irreconcilable enmity. Why would it continue to work for that master?
Kappa was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't tell you."
"Okay, then I will ask something else." Lin Yi didn't insist. He changed the topic and asked, "Is there anything special about this river? Is it the legendary River of Divine Knowledge? "
"River of Divine Knowledge? How can it be the River of Divine Knowledge? " Kappa looked at Lin Yi as if he was an idiot. He curled his lips and said, "The River of Divine Knowledge is the largest river in the world. It is more than a hundred zhang wide. How wide is this river of mine? There is nothing special about this river. It is only because it is guarded by our Kappa clan that it becomes different. "
This answer wasn't surprising. Lin Yi didn't think it was the River of Divine Knowledge at all. He continued to ask, "One last question. Tell me about the Holy Water Bead."
"This … …" Kappa hesitated for a moment. He hated himself for spilling the beans. Judging from this human's unforgiving behavior, he wouldn't leave until he figured out what was going on.
In the end, Kappa could only brace himself and explain, "The Holy Water Bead is the most sacred object of our Kappa clan. It is said that it is the first generation of water beads. After being nourished by our ancestors for countless years, its function has far exceeded the scope of ordinary water beads. It is also because of the Holy Water Bead that we were valued by our master. However, a hundred years ago, when we were collectively raising the Holy Water Bead, an accident happened. A crack appeared on the Holy Water Bead. In a rage, our master killed everyone …"
"Oh, so that's how it is." It was only then that Lin Yi realized what was going on. This Kappa clan was really quite pitiful. Not only was their holy item stolen, the entire clan was forced to be slaves, and the slightest problem with their holy item almost wiped out the entire clan. There really wasn't anyone else who could live such a tragic life.
"I have said what I should and shouldn't say. You can leave now, right?" Kappa looked at Lin Yi eagerly. He was afraid that Lin Yi would go back on his words again. If that happened, he would really be at his wit's end.
"Alright, if that's the case, then tell me how to leave this place." Lin Yi nodded without hesitation.
