This sword almost drained all the spiritual energy from Cheng Lin's body.
Even when he didn't notice it, a large amount of "golden dust" suddenly emerged from the Dantian in his body. Each particle was extremely small and almost invisible. When they gathered together, they
Like a sea of stars.
This golden color mixed with the billowing spiritual energy, and together they traveled along Cheng Lin's meridians, gushed out from his pores, and poured in from the hilt of the He sword.
As a result, on the black sword body and in the blood-red sword groove, mottled golden light began to appear.
"Huhuhu."
The wind suddenly rose, and the forest sea was like a wave. Cheng Lin stood on the edge of the valley, raised his head and closed his eyes, and slashed the sword!
This is the most powerful attack he can currently send out. It was originally equivalent to the full strength of the fifth-grade peak, but when mixed with golden dust, the power of the sword energy suddenly increased by another level.
"boom!"
The huge sword light annihilated this beautiful valley. Aldington did not hide or dodge, and cooperated to gather strength.
Then, its body shattered into pieces, and the tendons, muscles, and bones were completely annihilated in the explosion, turning into invisible particles that flew away with the wind. Its blood sprayed out, dyeing the river in the valley red.
, dyed the land red.
The "magic power" or "spiritual energy" stored in his body escaped, turned into a pillar of air, and rose into the sky.
The concentration of spiritual energy around here began to increase rapidly.
Aldington turned himself into a "spring" and briefly raised the height of the "ocean".
Cheng Lin heard the wails of giant dragons coming from behind him. At the same time, they seemed to have received some kind of signal and began to frantically absorb the dissipated "magic power", trying to divide it up before it dissipated.
Some dragons with dim phosphorus armor seemed to be swaying to sleep, as if they had been nourished, their bodies regained vitality, their wrinkled skin became tight again, and their cloudy eyes returned to clarity.
The feet of some weak dragons also became strong again.
The long team seemed to have gained a brief recovery, but this was just a dream after all.
Aldington used his death to bring a "spring rain", allowing more dragons to live longer... Although this may not be his original intention, at least, he must have expected this.
Cheng Lin felt the surging aura around him and felt the power of this giant dragon that regarded itself as an artist. He silently held the dragon flute and saw a pale golden light lighting up in the valley, and then gradually dimmed.
He knew that this was part of the power that Aldington said was "too condensed to be broken down into the heaven and earth."
The dragon clan uses spiritual energy to strengthen their bodies. This method is tantamount to using themselves as a container to purify and compress the spiritual energy.
And with the help of the power of the dragon body, they can compress the spiritual energy to the extreme, so that it can change its state.
Even if the end of the world comes, it still cannot be changed.
Cheng Lin believed in its judgment, because just now, he had determined that the strange "golden particles" he had absorbed into his body when he woke up in this valley were the legacy of Aldington.
He himself is the "lucky guy" Aldington hopes for.
"It's really...unexpected."
Cheng Lin murmured softly, and then sighed softly.
Turning around, he saw the group of giant dragons that had become stronger again. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched slightly, as if he thought of something.
[You have witnessed the death of the Mysterious Frost Dragon Aldington. Its soul gradually dissipated between heaven and earth, and its muscles and bones disintegrated into invisible dust, which merged into the wind and will be scattered throughout the continent. Its...
The "legacy" is deposited in this valley, in the soil, waiting for one day to be revived. Its blood merges into the rivers and soil, nourishing this mountain forest, and is deposited under the soil. After a few years, the spiritual energy revives again.
, giving some ordinary flowers and plants spirituality...]
In my mind, the voice of the narrator emerged.
Cheng Lin withdrew from his thoughts and savored the information. Suddenly, he seemed to see some grass blades near the valley emitting glittering light, and some trees with wild fruits growing on their branches.
fruit.
[After a few years, no one will know that a powerful dragon king once died here. Only its breath lasts for a long time, permeating the valley. Even after tens of millions of years, it has not dissipated, making the surrounding beasts afraid.
Set foot]
[Many years passed, long after the dragon civilization completely disappeared from this planet, primitive humans were born, and many, many years passed, and human society evolved several times, and this land finally got a new name]
[Task (Part 3), please mark the location in the valley and carve "Shangqiu"]
The narration ended.
Cheng Lin was not too surprised, he had already guessed about this.
Now that he heard about this mission, he just felt complicated.
"What is this? Reincarnation? Time and space confusion? Or is it just a not-so-clever setting of the game?"
Cheng Lin shook his head and flew up. After a few ups and downs, he arrived at the mouth of the valley.
Here, a mountain wall has been marked.
Cheng Lin took out two bottles of potion from the spiritual world, drank it, and waited for a while before the dry spiritual energy in his body became full again.
He then raised the He sword, poured it slightly, took a deep breath, and swung the sword to carve the two characters "Shangqiu" on the mountain wall.
After carving, he put away his sword and turned back, took a few steps back, and stared at the valley with a complicated expression.
After pausing for a few seconds, he smiled:
"Fate..."
Then, he no longer lingered and quickly returned to the dragon's team.
…
…
[The death of Aldington did not make the dragons mourn for too long. After a short mourning, the team continued to move forward, and the speed was much faster. You returned to the team and were carried forward by the Flame Dragon Allen.
Soon, you left this mountain forest and continued southward]
[The "recession" area is getting bigger and bigger, and they are chasing after each other. At first, the dragons hoped that the decline would be temporary, but now, they are less and less confident]
[After Aldington died, Adelaide became more and more silent, Flame Dragon Allen became more and more irritable, and the team fell into a strange silence. For a while, no dragons died again, but this could not last long after all. After the team again
After walking out for a while, the dragons began to die gradually again]
[The colors on the huge body of Star Dragon Adelaide become more and more brilliant. Sometimes, it looks like it is carrying a flower bush on its back]
[The number of dragons in the team is getting smaller and smaller, and some dragon servants are gradually falling behind. The team has shrunk a lot compared to when it just set off from Dragon City]
[The "nervousness" of Flame Dragon Allen became more and more serious. Under its frequent squandering of power, even the Dragon King began to show his age. Finally, one evening, Allen fell into inexplicable madness and roared to the sky.
, Roaring, no dragon can stop it. In the end, when the sunset sank into the horizon, he burned into a huge fireball, lighting up the dark sky, and burned himself alive, leaving only a pile of charred bones.
on the ground】
[No one thought that the "Emperor Dragon of Flame" who controlled the flames would be burned to death by himself]
[Adelaide did not make any superfluous reaction to this. He just carried his dragon soul on his back. After a short pause, he announced that he would continue moving forward. However, you found that after that evening, Adelaide suddenly "
Even though it has aged, its body is still strong, and the "decline" does not seem to have taken effect on it. This is enough to show how tyrannical this Dragon King is, but its spirit has aged.]
…
[The sun rises and the moon sets. You don’t remember how long you have been walking. You just see that Adelaide’s gray phosphorus armor is almost completely dyed with color. Until one day, there is no longer any spare phosphorus armor on its body. This
The only remaining Dragon King, carrying the entire clan on his back, became the last true dragon in the team]
[At this time, another ocean appears in front of you, which is the end of the "Southern Continent"]
…
The changing light and shadow stopped, and the scenery in front of Cheng Lin became clear.
He smelled the salty sea breeze again and saw the boundless sea.
"This is the end of the continent. I heard Aldington say that no one has ever crossed this ocean."
Standing in Adelaide's palm, Cheng Lin turned to look at it.
This dragon king is squatting quietly on the seaside like a mountain. It is late at night now. I am not sure what time it is, but it must be very late. There are stars in the sky and the waves of the sea are roaring.
Behind them were the remaining dragon servants. Their number was actually not that small. Cheng Lin was not sure if there were any dragons among them, and he didn't want to know for sure. After all, it didn't make much sense.
At this moment, the dragon servants were gathering in twos and threes on the coast, starting to collect firewood, light bonfires, and barbecue the prey caught on the road. Almost none of them looked here, and they seemed to have no emotional fluctuations about the fact that there was no road ahead.
They just follow the giant dragon silently. As long as Adelaide is still there, they will follow. As for where to go tomorrow, this is something the "real dragon" should think about.
"Yes, this is the end of the continent."
Cheng Lin looked away and heard what Adelaide said.
Its tone was low, just like the first time I saw it in the hall.
Even until now, it has not shown any mood swings. It is not like Aldington who died early and melancholy, or timidly, nor is it like Allen who fell into madness and despair and finally completely lost his mind and burned himself.
It's always been like this.
Always towering.
Cheng Lin suddenly thought that only a guy with this kind of personality could lead the team to this point.
He asked himself, if he were in another position, he would not be able to do this anyway. He would probably escape halfway, and then go crazy for the last pleasure until death... just like countless ordinary people.
"So I can't be a leader or a Dragon King."
Cheng Lin muttered to himself.
"What are your next plans? Crossing the sea? It will take time to build a ship, but once you enter the ocean, food is a big problem, and the most important thing is, no one knows how long it will take to see a new continent."
Cheng Lin said.
Adelaide was silent and did not answer.
Cheng Lin thought for a while and continued to ask:
"Now you are the only dragon left in the world. I'm sorry to mention this, but this is a fact. We can only face it. I want to ask... now, do you still believe in the revelation of fate?"
Adelaide finally turned his head, and his huge, star-like eyes were filled with nothing but endless emptiness.
A moment later, just when Cheng Lin thought it wouldn't answer, Adelaide spit out a word:
"believe."
Cheng Lin was silent, and then he wanted to say something, but suddenly he was startled.
He saw a bright light in Adelaide's huge eyes, that was...
