This was a stone room that was sealed on three sides. Except for the tiny gap that was only as wide as a person, the entire stone room seemed to be a sealed room that was carved out of a huge rock. There were no gaps on the other three sides of the stone chamber, and there were no patterns on the stone wall. It was as smooth as a mirror, and even the passage of time did not seem to have left a trace on it.
However, the only thing that puzzled Feng Yingkuang was that if he were to look at it according to the optical principles of the Earth Federation, where did the light that he saw in the cave come from?
There was no light source in the stone room. The only thing that could emit light was the small portable lamp in Roger's hand that looked like a wind lantern. The lamp was surrounded by an unknown transparent film, and in the center of the lamp was a crystal that emitted a faint blue light.
Feng Yingkuang estimated that the membrane around the lamp should be a part of the internal organs of a magical beast, and that crystal should be a magic crystal. However, Windshadow Craze didn't know how the lamp was lit because when Lojie took it out, it had already begun to emit light. Moreover, Windshadow Craze didn't feel any energy fluctuations from the beginning to the end.
On this continent that was filled with the unknown and novelty, on this continent that Feng Yingkuang did not understand, there were things that he did not understand everywhere. And this was also the reason why Windshadow Craze wanted to continue staying.
Suddenly, Roger put away the lantern in his hand, and the entire stone room was engulfed in darkness.
The sudden darkness made Feng Yingkuang lose his vision in an instant. The thick darkness was like a sudden beast that swallowed Feng Yingkuang's pupils. When he felt Kathleen's trembling body close to him, Windshadow Kuang's first reaction was to use his aura to lock down Roger. However, Feng Yingkuang realized that he did not run away as he had imagined. Instead, he stood there quietly, his entire person emitting an extremely solemn feeling.
However, the scene that happened next made Windshadow Kuang not pursue the reason for the change in Roger. It also explained the doubts in his heart.
A faint light suddenly appeared on the four walls of the stone room. This light was not attached to the walls for some reason, but slowly seeped out from the depths of the stone and the walls. Moreover, there seemed to be some kind of very strange pattern in this light, but these patterns were not motionless.
The intensity of the light was increasing in a straight line, so Wind Shadow Kuang and Kathleen's eyes were not stimulated much. The light was slowly recovering from their vision. But even so, Feng Yingkuang was still unable to capture the things contained in this light with his eyes.
Gradually, an extremely strange tone came out of Roger's mouth, and the light that seeped out from the depths of the wall slowly became dazzling. As the pitch of the voice rose and fell, the light that enveloped the entire stone room showed an extremely strange fluctuation. When the fluctuation gradually increased, a strange distortion began to appear in the depths of the light.
At this moment, the tone that came out of Roger's mouth suddenly changed from the solemn tone to the impassioned tone. As the tone changed, the light in the stone room became even more dazzling. The flowing pattern in the light suddenly stopped, and then instantly disintegrated into thin black lines that quickly moved towards the center of the stone chamber where the light had distorted.
The sound coming out of Roger's mouth became faster and faster, and the distortion of the light became more and more serious. In the end, where the thin black lines gathered, they actually formed a black vortex that kept spinning. All the light in the stone room seemed to be pulled by the vortex. The dazzling white light seemed to have become corporeal and began to slowly decrease from the edge of the stone room.
As soon as the last word left Roger's mouth, the small ball that had shrunk to the size of a fist suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light. Even Windshadow Craze, who had been staring at the ball of light, subconsciously raised his arm to cover his eyes.
After a long time, the dazzling light gradually disappeared from the stone room. In the gradually disappearing light, a huge figure wrapped in a gentle and faint white light slowly appeared. Feng Yingkuang and Kathleen stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape. Kathleen's mouth was wide open in shock. Even Feng Yingkuang, who was usually calm and collected, had a look of shock on his face.
However, just as Windshadow Craze and Kathleen were shocked by what they saw, Roger had disappeared without a trace.
A huge, turbid, and extremely old dragon head appeared clearly in front of Feng Yingkuang and Kaelin with its eyes half-closed.
Its old and ugly face was flowing with a transparent yet unusually turbid luster. It was like a glass of clear water that was suddenly mixed with some muddy water, and an external force was slowly stirring the glass. The clear water and the muddy water intertwined with each other, but the layers were distinct. To be more precise, this huge dragon head was completely composed of a faint milky white light. Therefore, the dragon that should have looked extremely mighty and majestic now looked particularly strange and ridiculous. The constant flow of turbid and clear made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The moment Kathleen recovered from her shock, she subconsciously hugged Feng Yingkuang's arm tightly and buried her body in his arm. She was timid, but she was not afraid because he had told her that he would always protect her. When she was with him, all she could feel was happiness.
Windshadow Craze reached out and patted Kathleen's back in comfort before pulling her behind him. He couldn't be sure if this strange-looking dragon in front of him was hostile.
The two sides looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward situation.
"Visitor of a thousand years, do you have any request for summoning me?”
Suddenly, an old but absolutely dignified voice rang out from the stone room. Windshadow Kuang vigilantly took a defensive stance, his eyes drifting around. However, he was surprised to find that the sound seemed to come from the depths of the surrounding walls, from the entire stone room. Because he had been staring at the mouth on the huge head, Feng Yingkuang was sure that he did not notice any signs of movement from the mouth.
"Who is it? Who was talking there? And who are you?"
Just in case, Feng Yingkuang had already gathered all his strength, and his entire person instantly entered an indescribable ethereal state.
Kathleen, who was hiding behind Feng Yingkuang, felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling fill her heart. Feng Yingkuang was clearly there. She could clearly see and touch him, but she could not feel his existence.
"I am right in front of you, a visitor who has visited for a thousand years. You used the dragon race's sacrificial ritual to summon me, the guardian dragon.”
"In front of me? This is you?" Feng Yingkuang's shock had reached an extreme point. How did this dragon make a sound? Where did the voice come from? One after another, things that were beyond his understanding overwhelmed Windshadow, but it also made him feel that this dragon-searching trip was more and more worth it. What was that? Besides, I didn't summon you.”
"Visitor for a thousand years, I can sense a powerful strength from you. It has even surpassed the power of the current dragon king. Although I don't know how you learned to use our Dragon Clan's language and summoned me, I think the Dragon Clan might not be able to help you with your request.”
The Guardian Dragon did not seem to hear Windshade Craze's defense, or rather, it did not care about Windshade Craze's defense at all. It continued to speak according to its own thoughts.
It was only now that Windshadow Craze realized that he had lost track of Roger. He also realized that Roger had made up his mind to lure him here and then run away. That was why he had agreed to bring him here so readily.
It seemed that he wanted to use the hands of the dragon clan to kill him and avenge that old man who was pretending to be mysterious. Hehe, what a pity. This dragon in front of him did not seem to have any hostility towards him.
"No, no, you can help, and only you can help me!”Windshadow Craze did not care too much about Roger's disappearance. To him, the most important thing now was how to get to the gathering place of the dragons.
"Then, please state your request.”
"A friend of mine told me that this is the path to the dragon race's habitat. I believe that as a Guardian Dragon, you must know something.”
"You…are you really going to the dragon race's habitat?”The half-closed eyes on the dragon's head suddenly opened up a lot, and its eyeballs started to roll slightly." Can you tell me your reason?"”
"Reason? There was no reason. I just wanted to see what the real Dragon Clan looked like.”
"Thousand-year visitor, I admit that you are very powerful, very powerful. However, you should know that the journey to the Dragon Tribe's habitat is extremely dangerous. Although you have come here, you still have one last obstacle to face. The test of the Dragon God's Heart could not be decided by strength. The Dragon God's Heart represented the Dragon God's will and power. If you fail, you will disappear from this world forever. Have you…thought it through?"
"Yes!" Feng Yingkuang answered without hesitation. At this time, he would definitely not give up.
When he turned his head to look at Kathleen who was standing beside him, he saw a blissful expression on Kathleen's face. It seemed that as long as she could stay with Windshade Kuang, she would feel happy no matter where she went.
The Guardian Dragon looked at Windshadow Kuang's determined expression and slowly closed its eyes.
With a flash of white light, Feng Yingkuang and Kathleen disappeared from the stone chamber, and so did the Guardian Dragon.
In a trance, Feng Yingkuang and Kathleen found that they had left the stone room and had somehow arrived on a vast grassland. In front of them was a light blue oval-shaped crystal that towered into the clouds. It was half-held in the mouth of an even larger dragon-shaped stone sculpture whose boundaries could not be seen.
Shock and uneasiness instantly filled their hearts.
"This world is the Heart of the Dragon created by the Dragon God with his supreme divine power. This is the place where you will undergo the final test.”The voice of the Guardian Dragon came from high up in the sky," Put your hands on the Dragon God's Heart and use your calmest state of mind to feel the information transmitted by the Dragon God's Heart. Remember, if you don't pass the Dragon God's test, you will be forever trapped in the Dragon God's Heart. Remember…"
The Guardian Dragon's voice disappeared.
Feng Yingkuang and Kathleen looked at each other for a moment, and a calm smile appeared on their faces. They extended their right hands at the same time and slowly approached the huge 'Dragon God's Heart'.
It was a boundless space with no light, no air, and no sound…
Feng Yingkuang didn't know how he got here. He only remembered holding Kathleen's hand, and both of them reached out to the huge light blue oval crystal that the Guardian Dragon called the Dragon God's Heart. When he opened his eyes, Feng Yingkuang realized that he was already here.
It was an extremely strange and uncomfortable feeling. He did not know how he had entered this space. When he opened his eyes, he found that he could see what was in front of him and the darkness in front of him.
This was a very contradictory statement. Since it was a completely dark space without any light, how could he let his retina, which could only sense light, see darkness? Usually, darkness could only be judged and felt through a person's subjective consciousness.
When people couldn't see what was in front of them, when people couldn't feel the light, they would feel that they had fallen into darkness. However, Feng Yingkuang did not feel it, nor did he judge it through his subjective consciousness. Instead, he was very sure and very clear that he had seen darkness...
Gradually, the color of the darkness began to fade. The darkness in front of Wind Shadow Craze's vision seemed to be split in the middle by something. The thick black color was slowly fading. Windshadow Craze could clearly see a small line that was different from the overall color gradually increasing in thickness.
All of a sudden, a pure white dragon that was emitting an extremely powerful aura broke through the darkness and suddenly appeared in front of Feng Yingkuang.
Its enormous body stretched as far as the eye could see, and a small diamond-shaped crystal was embedded in the middle of its forehead. The huge contrast did not make people feel strange, as if everything seemed natural and perfect on this dragon. Its right front claw held an oval, seven-colored sphere that looked like a crystal ball.
Feng Yingkuang suddenly felt that the dragon in front of him was extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. However, Feng Yingkuang knew that this was absolutely impossible. Then how could he explain this feeling? When he looked up at the dragon in surprise, he found that the dragon's mouth was slowly opening and closing, as if it was saying something to him, but he could not hear anything.
Then, the giant dragon disappeared... Then, countless dragons of all kinds, like the dragons in Feng Yingkuang's imagination, and dragons that did not look like the dragons in Feng Yingkuang's imagination, flashed past his eyes. The movie-like scene finally stopped on a red four-legged dragon with a slender body that Windshadow Craze was most familiar with.
In an instant, an extremely dazzling fiery red light erupted from the dragon's body, illuminating the entire space. In his blurry vision, Feng Yingkuang could vaguely see a red fireball the size of a baby's fist rushing towards him. Then, he lost consciousness…
"Humph! Haha! Idiot, you were so easily fooled by me. Haha! That old idiot is finally dead. I can finally be free! Haha!" The lantern that had been used in the cave was now being held by Roger in a circle. His arrogant and proud laughter followed his figure as he shuttled quickly through the dense forest, floating back and forth in the Beckers Mountains.
In fact, from the very beginning, the boy who called himself Roger had been lying to Windshadow Kuang and Kathleen. He was indeed Reiter Yit's disciple, but he did not want to avenge his teacher. This was because he had been hiding in that passage since the beginning and had witnessed the shocking battle between Feng Yingkuang and his teacher. He naturally knew very well how powerful Feng Yingkuang was. It was also because of this that Roger pretended to be 'unyielding' at the beginning and used the so-called secret of the Dragon Field in exchange for a chance to live.
In his mind, peerless experts usually had some strange habits or behavior. He chose to play this deception scene in this way, on the one hand, it was to strengthen the trust of Windshadow Kuang, and on the other hand, it was to cater to the strange thoughts he knew. After all, the words spoken by people when their lives were threatened were always more credible.
Coincidentally, Feng Yingkuang acted according to the steps he had envisioned. He also threw out the plot about the test required to enter the Dragon Field at the right time, laying the foundation for his future retreat.
However, when he read an unknown spell that Reiter Yit had taught him in the stone room that he had accidentally discovered, something unexpected happened. Suppressing the fear in his heart, while Windshadow Kuang was distracted by the strange stone room, Roger quickly escaped from the cave.
Therefore, he naturally did not know that the tests he had fabricated earlier had actually been fulfilled one by one. Of course, he also did not know that that was indeed the final stage leading to the dragon's hometown.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Yingkuang slowly woke up. When he struggled to open his eyes, the scene before him made him feel like he was still in a dream...
There were specks of starlight in the night sky, and the constantly shining brilliance made the night look so charming. The distant mountain range was faintly discernible in the night fog. Its long outline looked like a huge dragon lying on the ground from afar. It was looking up at the sky, as if it was looking forward to the arrival of something.
At the foot of the mountain, a vast forest surrounded the entire mountain range, forming a natural isolation zone, separating the grassland in front of Feng Yingkuang from the mountain range.
Feng Yingkuang shook his head hard and stood up shakily. He looked around and found Kathleen lying not far away from him. It seemed that she had not woken up from her coma. Feng Yingkuang took a deep breath and adjusted his fatigued body. He then walked toward Kathleen.
The cries of countless animals and magical beasts were particularly ear-piercing on the prairie at night. When the night wind blew across the ground, the short grass and flowers made a singing sound, causing the entire prairie to have a strange sound in the silence. It made people feel the peace and worry about the unknown situation at the same time.
"Kathleen, wake up. Are you okay?”
Feng Yingkuang came to Kaelin's side and hugged her. He reached out and gently touched her forehead, and a faint milky yellow light emitted from his palm. As the light shone on her, Kathleen's pale face gradually became rosy.
After a long while, Kathleen slowly opened her eyes. When she felt herself being enveloped by that familiar scent, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the scent. You're still alive, you're still alive! That's great, that's great!"
Kaelyn's agitated and incoherent speech stunned Feng Yingkuang. He didn't understand why Kaelyn would be so emotional just because he wasn't dead, just like how he didn't understand why Luo Lina would change so much after that incident. According to human psychology, humans would always care about themselves the most. His instructor had also told him that when faced with death, people would instinctively have an emotion called " fear " from the bottom of their hearts. This emotion would make people forget everything outside their bodies at this time, even the people closest to them would be ignored. But how could he explain Kathleen and Luo Lina's actions? Feng Yingkuang did not know. He was at a loss.
In this world, between men and women, there was something that transcended everything. There was something that Feng Yingkuang still didn't understand, but he was searching for it intentionally or unintentionally.
People called this thing " love."
Just as Windshadow Craze and Kathleen were thinking about their own matters, a huge shadow flew over their heads…
Feng Yingkuang quickly stood up. Although Kathleen, who was in his arms, had affected his speed, the aura that Feng Yingkuang emitted was absolutely shocking. The air waves that swirled around him caused the sand and stones to draw fine marks on the ground.
It was a huge Wyvern with a slender neck, a slightly sharp mouth, and a pair of short and smooth horns on its head. The yellow skin on its body indicated that it was an earth-type dragon that could control the earth. It also indicated that it did not have a very prominent position and strong strength among the dragons.
According to the records in the ancient books, the hierarchy and strength of the dragon race were all expressed by the color of the dragon's skin.
When ordinary dragons were born, their bodies were gray with yellow mixed with black. At this time, the dragons did not have much strength. About 300 to 400 years later, the dragons would enter their youth, which was equivalent to 18 years of age for humans. They would undergo the first conscious sleep in their lives. The time of hibernation was about 100 to 150 years. When the dragon race woke up from their hibernation, the gray color on their bodies would turn into a khaki color. As time passed, the khaki color would become purer and purer, which also meant that its power would increase.
About 1,000 to 1,200 years later, the dragon race entered adulthood. The sign of dragons entering adulthood was that they would secrete an unusually strong but not pungent fragrance from their skin to attract the attention of dragons of the opposite sex. Under normal circumstances, this fragrance would be secreted very quickly when the dragon race mated, and it would turn into a liquid form and drip onto the ground. The plant that was fortunate enough to be nourished by this fragrance was called " Ambergris ". It was a sacred product second only to " Becker Ulun Grass " and was the favorite of women. This was because, according to legend, those who had consumed the Ambergris grass would be infected with this fragrance that attracted the opposite sex, and it would not disappear until death.
The skin of an adult dragon was a faint red with a hint of blue. As the dragon aged, the red color would gradually disappear, and the blue color would gradually darken. When the red color completely disappeared and the color of the entire body was replaced by blue, the dragon race entered their strongest middle-aged period.
The middle-aged dragons were about two thousand years old. At this time, the lineages they each had were displayed.
As the wind elemental dragons that controlled the air grew older and stronger, the blue color of their bodies would slowly turn into the blue color of the sky, a faint green color. When their strength reached the peak of this period, their bodies would become abnormally transparent, as if a layer of dense air had wrapped around their bodies.
The fire dragons that controlled the flames turned into a deep red color with a hint of light blue. When their power reached its peak, this color would gradually increase, finally forming a strange color of blue on the outside and red on the inside.
The earth-elemental dragons had the biggest change. After they entered middle age, their body color would immediately turn into a khaki color. As the color gradually faded, their strength would gradually increase. In the end, this yellow color would turn into a kind of yellow mixed with grayish-brown. The entire color would be extremely ugly, so the earth-type race had the lowest status in the entire dragon race.
According to the records, other than these three extremely common dragons, there was also a type of divine dragon. When they were born, their entire body was a holy white. As the dragon age increased, this white would become almost transparent and colorless. They were recognized by the Dragon Clan as a gift from the Dragon God, and the leader of every generation of the Dragon Clan was also a dragon of the Divine System.
Since there was a Holy Element, then there must be a Dark Element as well. Every time a darkness-type Dragon Whelp was born, the entire dragon race would hold a prayer ceremony. This was because they believed that this was the Dragon God's punishment for the Dragon Clan, and it was a sign that the Dragon Clan would punish the Dragon Clan. And the sacrifice was that pitiful Dark-type Dragon Whelp.
The longest lifespan of dragons was unknown. There were no records of the lifespan of dragons. But everyone knew that their lives were extremely long…
Windshadow Craze held Kathleen in his arms and looked up at the Wyvern that landed not far away from him. There was a hint of surprise in his vigilant expression. He could not sense any hostility from the Wyvern's aura and movements.
Could it be that they knew I would come?
But at this moment, Feng Yingkuang was more excited in his heart. The dragon, the legendary ancient dragon race, had now appeared in front of him.
" Visitor, our noble clan leader has learned of your arrival from the Dragon God's instructions. The lord clan leader has requested that you go to the temple for an audience and has ordered me to be your guide. Now, please ride on my back, and I will take you through the journey that is too far and dangerous for you.”
Just as Feng Yingkuang had sensed, this Wyvern did not have any hostility, but its tone was full of disdain and unwillingness. There was no respect at all. It even emphasized that it was because of the clan leader's order that it was here to be their guide. However, it was not surprising. As the strongest race in life form, they did not need any respect when dealing with extremely weak humans. However, this time, the dragons were not facing ordinary humans.
After hearing Fei Long's words, Windshadow Craze's excitement reached its peak. The Divine Hall of the Dragon Clan was definitely not a place that anyone could enter. However, the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan had come to invite him. He was not excited because he felt honored, but because he could see the most powerful dragon. He had already ignored the contempt in Fei Long's tone. He only felt that it was extremely cute.
When Feng Yingkuang pulled Kaelin onto the Flying Dragon, she was in a state of extreme shock. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that the dragon race really existed on the continent, and that she would actually be able to see the dragon race.
Feng Yingkuang, who suddenly wanted to shout to express his excitement, looked up and took a deep breath. He tightened his grip on Kathleen's waist. However, when he looked at the stars in the sky carefully, he suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be much lower than when he was on the ground, and the originally hazy stars were much clearer.
The confused Windshadow Craze gently shook the still sober Kathleen. Just as he was about to ask her, the Wyvern under him suddenly accelerated and plummeted…
