After hearing what Luffy said, Ye Li said, "Is there anything special about your chief's bloodline? Why is this bloodline necessary to inherit the position of chief
Also, you are the only child of your father?"
Luffy shook his head and said, "Actually, I am not the only offspring of my father. I originally had an older brother, but he unfortunately died in the battle with Uncle Boyka when they attacked the Sea Ape Clan, so now I am the only one left.
After my brother died, I once suspected Uncle Boyka, but later, because I had no evidence, the matter was left unresolved.
Now it seems that my brother was most likely not killed by the Sea Ape Clan, but by Boyka.
Because basically no one saw my brother's death, Boyka said everything alone.
As for the special feature of our bloodline, it is that only our Great Chief's bloodline can open the gate of the sea abyss. Only by opening the gate of the sea abyss once a year can we guarantee the speed of cultivation of our sea abyss clan."
Ye Li looked at Luffy in confusion and said, "Hasn't the abyss always been open? Did you build a gate there to seal it off
Also, according to the legend, I thought this was an archipelago, but I didn’t expect it to be a continent.”
Hearing this, Luffy looked at Ye Li in surprise and said, "You actually know the situation here in ancient times. You are right. We were indeed an archipelago in ancient times, and the sea abyss at that time was indeed completely open without a gate seal.
However, later on, because the energy of life was too strong, the monsters and beasts around us began to mutate, becoming smarter and stronger.
The environment of the archipelago allows them to invade our interior directly via water. Every year, too many of our people die from attacks by sea monsters.
So in the end, the ancestors of our clan launched a land reclamation plan. It took ten years and mobilized countless talisman masters to cover up all the gaps in the archipelago, leaving only relatively narrow waterways underground that could lead seawater into the abyss.
After that, we spent thousands or tens of thousands of years to expand the island, expanding a small island into the current size of a continent.
After the Sea Abyss was sealed by us, the intelligence and strength of the surrounding monsters no longer increased wildly. We only open the gates of the Sea Abyss during the annual festival to let the breath of life nourish all the people on our Sea Abyss continent.
The Gate of the Abyss will only be open for one month. One month is just enough time for the energy of life to spread to the entire continent. When they are about to spread into the sea, we will close the Gate of the Abyss.
This way, the life force will remain on the continent and will no longer enter the sea to help the monsters grow."
After hearing Luffy's words, Ye Li realized that the Haiyuan clan actually had such a story.
After a second thought, he said, "Could it be that those sea apes were born from the energy of life?"
Luffy nodded and said, "Yes, those guys originally lived around us. They were very weak and could coexist peacefully with us.
Later, they began to mutate. Not only did they become stronger, but their ambitions also grew bigger, and their personalities became cruel and greedy. They became our biggest enemies and competitors.
They want to kill us and take over everything in the abyss."
As they were talking, Qingluan had already flown a long distance, and the man in black behind them had long since stopped tracking them.
Ye Li suddenly remembered that he didn't know where to go, so he asked, "Luffy, where are we going now? Are you going back to see your father?"
Luffy nodded and said, "I have to go back to see my father. I have to warn him about Uncle Boyka's conspiracy!"
Ye Li said: "Then tell me how to get to your father, and I will let Xiaoqing fly over."
Luffy looked around and pointed to the southeast, saying, "That's the direction of the Great Chief's Village. You should fly over there. It's still a long way from here."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li reached out and patted Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing understood what Luffy said, so she turned around and accelerated towards the southeast.
Seeing Xiaoqing so smart, Luffy couldn't help but look at Ye Li with envy and said, "Senior Kou, your big bird is really well-behaved. How did you catch it and make it your pet
If I could also get a big bird monster like this as a pet, it would be very convenient for me to travel and escape in the future."
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, he felt a strong wind blowing him up and directly away from Qingluan's back.
A small tornado wrapped around him, causing him to spin and tumble in the air, swinging him around and making him wail.
Looking at the blurry ground below, Luffy felt the urge to urinate in his bladder. If he fell from such a high place, he estimated that his body would be smashed into a pool of meat paste.
"Kou... Senior Kou, what happened? Why did your big bird attack me... Oh no... It's the Demon Director's head!"
Luffy accidentally bit his tongue in the strong wind, and the rest of his words became unclear.
Ye Li glanced at Xiao Qing with amusement, and then said: "Xiao Qing is my friend, not my pet. Besides, it is Qing Luan, the legendary wind and fire beast. If you call it a big bird, it will definitely be angry with you."
Luffy wailed in the air for a long time. After listening to Ye Li's words, he quickly apologized to Xiao Qing: "Master Divine Beast, I... I was wrong. Please forgive me."
When Xiaoqing heard Luffy's apology and begging for mercy, she let out a soft cry and retracted the storm she had released.
Without the protection of the storm, Luffy could no longer float in the air. After a scream, he fell from the air and landed on the ground.
Feeling himself falling, Luffy's face turned pale, and he danced and screamed in the air, but he had no way to save himself.
Just after he fell for a while, Qingluan finally swooped down to catch up with him and lifted him up on her back.
Luffy, who was screaming with his eyes closed, had not yet realized that he had been rescued by Qingluan. At this moment, he was lying on Qingluan's back, howling miserably.
Ye Li looked at him with amusement, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: "Luffy, Luffy!"
After hearing Ye Li's greeting and feeling that he was no longer in a state of weightlessness, Luffy carefully opened his eyes.
Looking at the jade-green feathers beneath him, Luffy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared... I was scared to death. Master Xiaoqing, I was wrong. I won't dare to speak nonsense again."
After hearing his words, Xiaoqing let out a soft cry and stopped teasing Luffy.
