Chapter 5 The Jiangling Tribe, descendants of the Essence Dragon
The soil after the rain was muddy. Milo was walking in front, followed by the boy holding Bai Ao's cold body.
At first, Milo did not intend to let the boy hold the dead loyal dog, but the boy insisted on doing it by himself. He looked at Milo with wide eyes and said: "Uncle, Bai Ao was always with you when you were in coma.
Follow me, I want to send him away in person."
Hearing this, Milo did not refute any more. They left their small house and came to a slightly drier hillside.
As Milo spoke, he found a place, dug a hole, and buried Bai Ao in it. When the first handful of soil fell, the boy who had been silent turned red-eyed again.
When the two went back, the boy was still a little worried and said: "Uncle, those monsters won't find Bai Ao."
"No, those lizard people won't find Bai Ao."
Milo touched the boy's head. The small town of Hongze where they are now is located in the coastal area of Shoulong Land. It is a small town in Pennsylvania. Because it is close to the coastal area, it often encounters storms and typhoons.
Impact, and this part of the weather changes is precisely controlled by the God of Natural Disasters. Under the influence of this god who extremely hates being affected by the Dragon Land, and under the curse of many Western gods.
Outside the small town of Hongze, areas where humans do not frequently move, especially in the mountains and forests, are full of muddy swamps covered with shallow grass and moss. The air in the swamps is hot and stuffy, and there is a rotten smell.
Moreover, among these swamps, there are many shrubs and some trees with various shapes and forms that are affected by various abnormal energies.
In order to survive in this environment, these trees have developed aerial roots from their trunks and branches that plunge into the swamp from mid-air to form pillars. Therefore, in the mountains outside the small town of Hongze, there is often a forest like you see.
It's a wonderful scene of a tree.
The unique natural environment has given birth to many strange creatures in this land.
In addition to various stories about ghosts and monsters that rush into people's homes on stormy nights and slaughter people, there are also many lizard people.
The so-called lizard people are a type of demi-human race. Their appearance is similar to the literal meaning of the name. They are giant lizards that stand on their hind limbs and have a similar appearance to humans. Most of their heads are close to lizards, and they have gray, green or green markings on their bodies.
It has brown scales, and its lower body also has anti-jointed lower limbs that are close to those of a small carnivorous dinosaur and a huge tail.
Most lizardmen are between six and seven feet tall, and their tails are between three and four feet in length. They can be used to maintain body balance and can also be used as an auxiliary weapon.
The shapes of their soles and palms are different. Most lizardmen have wide soles with only three fingers. There is skin like duck webs between the toes, making them very adaptable to moving in swamps. The palms have four fingers and can use most
arms.
However, as intelligent life forms, the lizard people are not highly civilized. According to the information Milo learned from many books, this is related to the place where the lizard people were born and their current racial gods.
The era when the Lizardmen were born is very ancient. In the official names of Shoulong and the West, the era of their birth is called the Blue Age, which is the period when Milo first saw giant snakes swallowing the sun, and sea water and ice and snow covered the earth.
At that time, the rising local gods created many followers of theirs, and the Lizardmen were born.
However, the environment at that time destined the lizard people to pay more attention to physical strength than wisdom. In addition, with the end of the Blue Age, the local gods collapsed, and the civilization belonging to the lizard people also died with it. Now the entire Tianyu is related to the lizard people.
There are only three gods among all the information that Milo read.
One is the lizardman god Samuel Anya, also known as the survivor, feeder and caretaker. He is a weak divine power and holds the authority over the survival and reproduction of the lizardmen.
It's a pity that this god is very cold and indifferent to everything in the outside world. His only motivation is to survive. This almost purposeless state is undoubtedly responsible for the decline of the lizardman race.
Therefore, the authority of the lizardmen was largely usurped by two other gods who fell into hell, one was the troglodyte god Laugzd, and the other was the lizard god Seth Yinac. These two
They are only existences with weak divine power, and according to the records of Shoulong, these two gods were once enslaved by Talos, the god of natural disasters. Therefore, part of their power was taken away by Talos, and they were affected by his ferocious beasts.
and the influence of demonic authority.
This is also the reason why lizardmen can be found on the outskirts of the city on rainy nights.
Most of these lizardmen are affected by the power of Talos, the god of natural disasters, and have been harassing the borders of the Land of Dragons.
Secondly, it is not clear whether it is because the lizard people are naturally scavengers, or because Talos, the god of natural disasters, suppressed ancestral beliefs in order to target the Land of Shoulong. These lizardmen living on the border of the Land of Shoulong are very powerful.
It has the characteristic of carnivore, and it is very fond of digging up corpses buried in the soil to eat, or desecrating them.
It is also for this reason that the Shoulong people treat the lizard people very harshly. There are bounties on lizard people in various cities in the Shoulong Land. The place Milo found now is very special, just on the protective edge of Hongze City.
, plus the land here is relatively dry, and when Milo selected the place, he specifically observed that there were a lot of vegetation growing on the hillside that the lizard people hated, so they generally would not go near this area.
The most important thing is that Milo just needs a period of buffering. After he gets back part of his power, it will be much easier to summon the White Ao who was taken into Miao Youtian or to expel the nearby lizard people.
And Milo's method of regaining his power is also very simple, that is, to tap into the blood power of this body.
At the beginning, when Milo sent Aquan and others and his own distraction to obtain a local identity, he also used some influence of Sanqing's breath, hoping that his distraction would have a better future.
Therefore, his current body is not a mere human being, but a descendant of the Jiangling Clan, that is, the Essence Dragon Clan and ordinary people.
Furthermore, Milo's body is not that of an ordinary Jiang Ling clan, but a descendant of the [True Dragon] spirit dragon clan from ancient times, although the bloodline is so thin that it is almost invisible.
But the foundation and character are still there. After all, the [True Dragon]-level spirit dragons correspond to the true gods of the Western Continent, but the path they take is different from that of ordinary gods, and is closer to the dragon lords of the Dragon Age.
Or similar to Milo's state in this universe, it can be regarded as a kind of divine power.
Of course, the spirit dragon itself is very easy to transform into a true god. After the dragon totem belief was established, many spirit dragons relied on faith to gather authority, first obtain the power of [true dragon], and then become [true dragon]
identity.
Among the information that Milo has found over the years, there are as many as seven "True Dragons" who are using tricks like this.
Among them, the most [True Dragon] information that can be found near Hongze City is the ancient Jianglong. Its name can no longer be traced, and its authority was divided as early as the early days of the birth of the dragon totem belief, creating nearly three-digit rivers.
God.
According to the available information, this Jianglong gained authority over the rivers and lakes of the Land of Dragons in its heyday, and was a weak god with close to medium divine power. According to Milo's knowledge, the nature of his authority
Similar to the collection of the Five Lakes Dragon King and the Four Dragon Gods in the Baojuan.
But this Jianglong has the characteristics of a creature from the land of Shoulong. Unlike the Western gods who like to hold all the clerical authority in their own hands, the gods of the entire land of Shoulong like to divide their authority. Therefore,
There are many gods of mountains and rivers on this land of Shoulong.
For example, there is a river god in the Hongze River not far from Hongze City. While Milo was distracted, he once watched the Hongze River God from a distance. According to this universe, his power is probably in the legendary stage.
After death, rituals are used to transform oneself into a spiritual life, which then takes over authority to gain divinity and power.
But it is difficult for such a god to exist in this universe, and in this sky, it can only exist in the land of Shoulong.
'Looking at the essence, the majority of the laws and principles of this universe have been occupied by Shinto. Shinto is the mainstream of this universe. Even if there are all kinds of divine powers that are beyond the ordinary powerful gods, they are not as favored by the universe itself as the gods.
Therefore, the status of gods in this universe is very high, and it is more strict than that of the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent. Only true gods can accept belief.'
'The Hongze River God is able to absorb the essence of faith. It is actually attached to the Huangtian Houtu faith after the separation of the Dragon Totem Belief. Tracing back to the source, the Hongze River God is actually an affiliated god of Houtu's pan-consciousness.'
Milo thought so, a faint spiritual light appeared in his eyes. He looked in the direction of Hongze River from a distance and saw some golden divine light rising inside.
'Did the location change again? That's right. His country is only a small area, and he has the responsibility of sorting out the entire Hongze River. Naturally, it's not easy to stay in one place for a long time. But why is he moving closer to the upper reaches? I remember that nothing happened upstream.
The big thing is that the downstream was affected by the storm a few days ago, and there may be problems with this year's harvest. Hongze River God did not go downstream, but went upstream. What happened?'
Milo looked at the direction in which the golden divine light was rising, and couldn't help but frown.
The last time he used the orb to shield him, he observed the divine kingdom of the Hongze River God from a distance. It was the size of a small village, and its nature was similar to that of a spiritual realm. Most of it relied on the power of the Hongze River, and on the other hand, it relied on the villagers on both sides of the river.
faith.
But after all, that country can be called the prototype of the Kingdom of God. It still has many ingenious abilities, such as its constant influence on the external environment, the suppression of the magic network, and the dispersal of the curse of the Western gods.
Therefore, the Hongze River God was very busy at work. Before Milo took back this distraction, he saw the River God sorting out the environment on both sides of the river for three consecutive years, from morning to night, from night to night.
Early, it can be said that there is no time to rest for a moment.
Whenever he thought of that scene, Milo couldn't help but secretly complain: "Without the method of incarnation and not enough energy, the work is increasing day and night. It's no wonder that the gods of the Dragon Shou Land are unwilling to take over the sovereignty.
He likes to give away his authority to others, or directly canonize those he likes as subordinate gods to replace his own work day and night.'
'But overall, in the Land of Shoulong, the degree of difficulty of becoming a god is not very high. The only problem is that most of the paths to become a god have little room for improvement, unless the boss hates the current job and wants to
You will have the opportunity after resigning. From this point of view, it is somewhat similar to my Nine-Rank Method.'
With Milo thinking like this, he also set out to purify the bloodline power in his body, stimulating little by little the negligible, almost non-existent bloodline power in his body.
Then, in Miaoyoutian, the Miluo Treasure Scroll was opened, and a name under the Taiyi Realm gave birth to a little aura.
[Heterodox·Principal Eighth Grade Ichthyosaurus]
The name comes from Aquan. Just as Milo was lucky enough to obtain the identity of a descendant of the [True Dragon] level spirit dragon bloodline, Aquan, as a water spirit, is more likely to be favored by spirits in the land of dragons. In addition, Aquan
Quan once understood the names of many dragon kings and dragon gods. In the end, when he obtained the local identity, he directly became a fish dragon bred by a river in the land of dragons.
Milo also took this opportunity to obtain some information about the Soul Dragon.
Now, Milo channeled the power of this name, and a fish-shaped life immediately jumped out of the treasure scroll.
At first glance, this life form is similar to a carp, but it is very large, about three meters long, and its head is closer to a reptile head than a fish. The chin has a beard similar to a lion's sideburns. The body of a huge carp and
Similar to the junction of a reptile's head, there is a pair of forelimbs with sharp claws.
This is the larvae fish dragon of the Essence Dragon Clan. It is the basic form of all the Essence Dragon Clan. As soon as it appears, it will stir up whirlwinds and thunder, surrounding Milo.
Immediately afterwards, Milo felt that the tiny amount of divine blood in his body began to expand crazily, eroding the surrounding blood and bones. The hot feeling made Milo's body extremely painful, as if a tiny blade was inside his body.
Wandering around, cutting him into pieces with thousands of knives, or throwing him into a meat grinder, grinding him into minced meat little by little, and then frying him with strong fire while his nerves are still sensitive.
Such various and extremely terrifying pains stimulated Milo's spirit crazily.
If Milo hadn't been an ordinary person, he would have fallen into chaos or even madness due to the severe pain.
However, with the suppression of the realm of refining the void and the energy provided by Miao Youtian, through the transfer of the Yuanshi Orb, Milo's bloodline awakening did not last for too long. He just absorbed this part of the power, and the moment his bloodline awakened,
A weak force poured out from his body and spread to the outside, but quickly disappeared again.
A wizard in Hongze City stood up, floated into the air, and looked in the direction of Milo.
At the same time, the busy river god in the Hongze River suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Milo.
"Why do I feel the breath of fish and dragon? But it seems a little different. Could it be that they are from the Jiangling tribe?"
The Hongze River God frowned and glanced at the witches on Hongze City. After casting a spell to convey the message, he continued to comb the river with his head lowered, trying his best to allow the accumulated water in the upper reaches to flow as smoothly as possible to the lower reaches.
On the other side, Milo, who received the power of the fish and dragon, saw the changes in his body through the perspective of Miao Youtian.
The color scheme that was originally close to that of a black boy with black hair is now stained with a little trace of blue, but the eyes with a faint blue halo look like the night sky. As long as you stare at these eyes, you can't help but be fascinated.
Its attractive.
Milo frowned slightly, and he noticed something was wrong. He could feel that his body had a little more aura with a charming aura than before.
'When I awakened my bloodline, did I visit the realm of charm? Or did I gain an ability similar to natural charm?'
Milo couldn't help but recall some of his names in the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent, and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Then he began to carefully sense the power of the blood in his body, and further fixed the power in the form of a treasure scroll, condensing a name with the characteristics of this universe.
[Fish Leaps over the Dragon Gate] As a descendant of the ancient dragon clan’s bloodline, you relied on the [Ichthyosaur] information to awaken your own bloodline, and gained most of the [Ichthyosaurus] characteristics and spell-like abilities, and you can, according to your own needs,
Transforming into any kind of Essence Dragon Clan, you can even derive a new Essence Dragon Clan bloodline. But as a price, the more powerful the Essence Dragon Clan you transform, the more difficult the test you need to face.
[Dragon Travels the Four Seas] As a person with the characteristics of [Ichthyosaur], your swimming speed is greatly improved, and you gain abilities such as [Underwater Breathing], [Cold Resistance], and [Adapting to the Aquatic Environment].
Milo carefully sensed the core of these two abilities and muttered in his heart: "Although they are just two abilities, they are actually very useful compound abilities. Not to mention, if I am not wrong, [Yu Yue]
The ability of "Dragon Gate" actually has the characteristics of slightly increasing lifespan and slightly increasing energy affinity. The ability of "Dragon Traveling Around the World" should incorporate certain characteristics of "Water Escape". It may not be possible to further develop it in the future.
It is impossible to obtain similar abilities.'
Milo felt it carefully, gradually alternating the names fixed in the treasure scroll with the bloodline, and blending the power of the bloodline little by little. Gradually, Milo felt that there seemed to be subtle changes in the energy around him.
Different from the slight barrier with the external energy before awakening his bloodline, at this moment, Milo could feel that the energy around him was constantly converging into his body, and it soon caused a certain degree of qualitative change in his power, allowing him to obtain
[Dragon Travels Around the World] Under this ability, there is another ability [Illusory Dragon Scale].
Milo stretched out his hand and touched his skin. There was already a little more brilliance like scales on the outermost layer. He tried his defensive capabilities a little, which was probably equivalent to thinner armor. For Milo, it was better than nothing.
'The follow-up I just need...'
Milo was about to make his next plan when he suddenly felt a breath passing through the sky. Milo instinctively wanted to hide his breath, but as soon as he raised his hand, the energy fluctuation caused by the breakthrough could not be hidden at all.
In addition, the aura above did not feel threatening, so he did not do anything more and allowed the other party to find his traces and arrive in front of his house.
With the knock on the door, the boy who was resting in the room suddenly woke up and looked at the door in fear.
The child had obviously been on tenterhooks some time ago, and then because Bai Ao was so sad, he was already exhausted mentally, so he fell asleep as soon as he got home.
But in this state, he was still awakened by the sound of the door. You can imagine how much the previous experience had affected him.
Milo touched his head lovingly, stretched out his hand, and opened the door.
Then he saw a woman wearing a bachelor's robe and jade jewelry walking in. She was stunned when she saw Milo.
Then he quickly reacted, took a few steps back, looked at Milo angrily, and was about to say something. Then he reacted again, looked at it carefully, and then said with a strange expression: "I'm not mistaken.
, you should be a member of the Jiangling tribe and have awakened your own bloodline, but why did you gain the ability to be born with charm, and the energy level is very high? I don’t remember that there is anyone specializing in charm among the dragon gods. So, you are born with charm.
He has high charisma, so after awakening his bloodline, he directly transcended the limits of the mundane and gained extraordinary abilities?"
"I don't know that either."
Milo shook his head and extended his hand to invite the woman to sit inside.
The woman looked at Milo's room and frowned slightly. She didn't see what she had done, and two chairs automatically flew to her side. As they got closer, they were gradually renovated, becoming neat, complete, and smooth.
placed in the yard
Of course, in Milo's eyes, there were two illusory energy shadows, which moved the chair to the yard. During this period, the woman used two spells to repair and clean the chair.
"Just right here."
When the woman answered, she also stared into Milo's eyes and said casually: "I noticed that the color of your penis was a bit strange before. Now it seems that you should have awakened [seeing through invisibility] or [real vision]."
With human abilities, I am really becoming more and more curious about which dragon god’s bloodline you have awakened. Are you the descendant of any true dragon?”
The woman was half-joking when she said this, and Milo was also half-joking: "Maybe the bloodline in me comes from the inheritance of a true dragon and god?"
"Haha, not to mention how long I have been waiting for a real dragon to appear in the Land of Shoulong. Let's just say that real dragons don't have a good attitude towards the gods. How could they give birth to new descendants together? The next step is to get down to business."
