"Dragon?" Agent Luo Yajun showed an interested expression, "Is what you are talking about the same thing as what we are thinking about?"
"If it's a common fantasy creature in your human mythology, I think it should be," Leila said.
"But you just said it was a fantasy."
"Yes, but there are always traces of fantasy. Humans in ancient times recorded many things they did not understand. Due to the lack of conclusive evidence and the rumors being too wild and wild, they were often easily regarded as fabricated by future generations.
"
"You mean that myths are true and dragons are real?"
"It's not complete. Some of your myths are made by later generations based on the records, and they are indeed exaggerated." Layla said, "But some of them are indeed not exaggerated.
Yes, dragons do exist, but they are not as mysterious as you think. They are nothing more than ancient races that once lived on the Earth's Pole Star like us ancients."
"Are you trying to say that what we are facing are just ordinary large animals?"
"That's not entirely true." Layla showed a serious expression, "We ancients once obtained extraordinary seeds and have extraordinary qualities that surpass most other species. I believe you already know enough about this.
Dragons are similar beings. They acquired extraordinary powers in the long past, and like the ancient ones, have the ability to release infections and transform other species mentally and physically."
She paused here and continued with some hesitation.
"It's just that even us ancients don't have many opportunities to deal with dragons. I have never seen dragons with my own eyes, but in the memories I have passed down, I have heard stories from ancients from other tribes.
According to rumors, although phenomena similar to those of infected people appear wherever dragons go, they rarely appear in creatures with advanced intelligence. This is completely opposite to the ancient ones. Those who experience abnormal reactions wherever they go are often those with intelligence.
A relatively underdeveloped species."
"Animal." Batman said solemnly.
Everyone immediately thought of the monsters that had been knocked down by Batman. Their common features were that they could tell what species they originally belonged to, but their power or appearance became more exaggerated.
All those present were agents from Secret Service Branch 9, who have been dealing with infected people all year round. They quickly thought of those humans who were affected by extraordinary power, and their bodies became twisted and weird. Looking at these mutated monsters at this time, they soon felt that
It should be a similar situation.
"But it shouldn't be." Layla frowned and shook her head, as if thinking to herself, "Dragons shouldn't exist."
"You just said they were true." Luo Yajun reminded.
"No, I mean they are true, but they should have become a thing of the past." Layla said, "This is the conclusive news I got when I was reborn last time.
They told me that the Dragon Clan has been wiped out and has completely disappeared from this world. We ancients have some specific sources of information, so this rumor should be relatively reliable.
Besides, it has indeed been a long time since dragons last appeared. It should be a long time since dragons appeared in your human history records.
But these monsters...are obviously the work of a dragon. I'm a little confused."
The channel of the ancients she mentioned cannot be confirmed, but it is true that there have been no rumors of dragons among humans for a long time. It is possible that the reason why dragons in ancient times lived in myths is because the information transmission technology was underdeveloped, but in modern times
We are already in the information age. If there are really dragon activities, it is impossible not to attract attention.
While he was talking, a uniformed researcher trotted over. He saluted Luo Yajun and said: "The preliminary detection has been completed.
Convinced that this is some kind of ruined structure underneath, we found a covered entrance five kilometers away."
"Very good." Luo Yajun turned around, "Ha, it looks like it's time to start working. Seeing is believing, no matter what it is, let's go down and take a look for ourselves."
He had already prepared his manpower and planned to lead a vanguard team himself, and would go down to investigate once he found the entrance.
"No, it's not you." Batman interrupted him, "You just wait in the camp while I and my people go down."
The performance of Secret Service Branch 9 was not very good when the ruins were last explored. Everything in the ruins is unknown, and we don’t know what kind of enemies or agencies we will encounter. More people who lack key information may be a burden. On the contrary,
Only the superheroes on Chu Cheng's side are not afraid of life and death, and are the best candidates to go and find out.
"And you." Batman looked at Layla.
As the only remaining Ancient One, she is the only one who knows something about the so-called Dragon Clan, which may be helpful. In addition, her own strength is not weak, and the Ancient One's abilities are weird, so self-protection will not be a problem no matter what happens down there.
.
"All right."
Luo Yajun was a little dissatisfied, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with losing the opportunity to partner with Batman. But he also knew that it might be dangerous down there, and if they encountered any extraordinary situation, they would actually become a drag, so he did not persist.
Layla is now considered half an agent of Section 9. The camp has installed a pinhole camera on her so that they can understand the situation in the ruins from the ground.
According to the results of the terrain scan, they quickly found the entrance. A dim passage led directly to the depths of the underground, and a stone staircase actually appeared in their field of vision.
There are very obvious artificial traces. The entrance alone is enough to determine that this must be an artificial construction. Batman leads the way. In detective mode, the passage is like daylight, and even every particle of dust flying in the air appears extremely clear.
"It's... incredible." Layla couldn't help but sigh.
After walking forward along the underground tunnel for a while, my eyes suddenly opened up. The inside was actually like a different world, or more like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring.
An independent world filled with unknown flowers, plants and vegetation. Towering old trees, rugged rocks, and even water from unknown sources falling from a high place, like a waterfall, onto a clear surface of water that can be seen at a glance.
Snow-white waves exploded on the ground.
"I've heard people say that dragons live in their own world." Leila said softly, "But I always thought it was an exaggeration and part of the story. I never thought..."
"Keep the exclamation for now, we have company."
Batman's words drew her attention back. Layla looked around and found that Batman was right.
Something that looked like an animal, but more ferocious than any beast you could encounter in the wild, and looked exactly like the ones Batman was fighting outside.
They didn't look very hospitable, and seemed dissatisfied with the intrusion into their territory, but at the same time they were happy that they had an extra meal today.
The good news is that you don't have to be busy ordering takeout today, someone will come to shovel it.
The bad news is that with more monks than meat, these two may not be enough for their number.
"The natives are not very friendly." Leila narrowed her eyes, "It seems we are quite busy."
"Need not."
Batman said coldly, but stood still and didn't move, as if he had everything under control.
puff.
There was a sound like flesh being penetrated. A monster in the herd suddenly had its forehead pierced through the front, leaving a huge hole. Before it could figure out what was going on, it fell to the ground with eyes wide open and blood gushing out.
, his wide eyes were full of confusion.
The ferocious beasts next to them were also stunned, not understanding why their teammate suddenly died suddenly. But before their slow brains could think about it, there was another popping sound, and another bloody arrow shot out.
The two ferocious beasts fell down at the sound.
Even Layla's eyes widened and she looked to her side in shock and confusion. But she clearly believed that this bat weirdo didn't even move a finger from beginning to end, but he could actually kill this mutated monster from the air.
"Treading on the Stars"
Could it be that he kept his hand when he fought with me before?
