With a puff of smoke, Douglas's attention was drawn to the sculpture that resembled a large turtle, with a rich oriental charm that he had rarely seen before.

The giant tortoise creature carried a cracked mountain on its back, a heavy shell entwined with cloud patterns on its body, a four-legged crushing flame above the blue waves, a pair of short horns on its huge head, it was opening its huge mouth and roaring at the sky, its eyes were fierce, and the thunder in the night sky was rolling, it really felt like it had been resurrected.

"It always looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere," Douglas turned to Brooke with a gloomy face, "Old Bu, do you mean that this turtle-like creature is real?"

"I don't want to believe it, but the signs of the anomaly have to make me think about it," Brooke's face was also not very good-looking, "Since the day I took over the Sea Restaurant in Sorashima, this secret that only the restaurant insiders know has been passed on to us, and the previous head chef, who was also my master, said something inexplicable to me before leaving, and I think the meaning of it is roughly related to this sculpture." ”

Although many cooks came to put out the fire with buckets, it didn't seem to work at all, and the lava still released heat from the place it passed, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the lava flowed slowly.

Douglas watched the bubbling blazing magma in his mind while listening intently to the story of his old friend.

"'The hills in the courtyard should not be watched at all times, and the story of the stone statue is a fact that I cannot explain, that we are destined to be children of the sea in this life, but also guardians of secrets, and anyone who tries to disturb the sleeping one will suffer the wrath of the deep. These were his exact words. Brooke reminisced about the past, and he always remembered the words of the old chef.

"So they don't know the secrets buried beneath this island, or are they afraid to say something out of fear of something? Douglas's face was reflected in the firelight, and his gaze wandered between the stone statue and the diamond-shaped opening.

"It's not impossible that you're talking about that, and to tell you the truth, I've occasionally studied the origin of this stone creature over the years, and whenever I meet guests from the East, I'll give them copies of the stone statues. ”

"Hmph, I knew you were a tough old man, and like you were decades ago, you were never a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"Don't interrupt Lao Tzu!" Old Brook glared at Douglas and straightened his chef's hat by the way, "I finally got some useful information a few days ago. ”

"Huh?"

"The creature on this stone statue is indeed not a gratuitous fabrication, it comes from the Eastern mythological system, to be precise, it is a legend that circulates in a large eastern country," Old Brooke paused, "The legend of the 'son of the dragon' of the Xuanfang Kingdom." ”

"Xuanfang Country?!" Douglas's face changed slightly, and the moment he heard about this country, Douglas's mind immediately appeared with the back of the president of the B-department student union in the academy, the oriental boy in a black robe and a bronzing dragon on his back.

"That's right, even the ancient country that mutinied a few years ago has always had the concept of 'dragon' in their culture, and the so-called 'son of the dragon' is the heir of the supernatural creature they worship as a totem, and one of them is almost exactly the same as the appearance of this stone statue. ”

"Do you mean 'overlord'?" said Douglas slowly.

"How do you know?!" Old Brooke looked at the old friend in amazement, who he hadn't seen in years.

"Nolan's finally a hobby that comes in handy," Douglas said slowly, walking toward the stone statue called "Baxia", "thanks to him, I have heard him talk about Oriental myths a lot, although I am not interested in it at all." ”

"With a wide range of hobbies, it seems that Nolan is still the same..."Recalling another old friend, Brooke's tone softened a lot.

"Cloud and thunder pattern, dragon head and turtle body, plus the previous speculation, it should be a creature in Eastern mythology 'domination' is undoubted," and then Douglas changed his words, "Could it be that the so-called secret means that this mythical fictional creature is hidden in this empty island?! Although I am not an atheist, this explanation is still difficult to convince me." ”

"Heartbeat!" Old Brooke suddenly became agitated, "Did you hear that rhythmic heartbeat just now! This is not the first time, for for the past month, I have heard one or two strange noises coming from this courtyard almost every night in the middle of the night, and it was not until the sound continued to sound that I finally realized that it seemed to be a heartbeat, and it was most likely the heartbeat of some behemoth!"

Douglas was silent, his sandpaper-like rough palm gently stroked the mossy "mountain" on the back of the stone statue, and suddenly, an unusually fierce momentum pierced into his body like a sword, which was a majestic momentum filled with a sense of vicissitudes, as if passing through the barriers of time and space, and came from eternity.

This momentum slammed into Douglas's arm wrapped in the overlord's momentum, just like the sharpest sword in the world pierced the strongest shield in the world, and the result of the two momentum hedges spread to the surrounding chefs, although Douglas tried hard to control, but the violent thrust still directly knocked them to the ground, and the hot magma instantly solidified after encountering this momentum, and the temperature plummeted.

"Are you alright, old bastard?" asked Old Brooke as he removed the bone crusher in front of him, "What's going on?"

"It's... Douglas stared at the extra white scratches on his arm.

"Old bastard, are you kidding me?!How can that kind of momentum, which is almost as rare as the overlord's momentum, appear here?!I'm afraid it only exists in the ancient records!"

"No, Brooke, believe me, the old man will never admit his mistake!" Douglas had never been so serious, "that kind of momentum that is so powerful that it can almost cut through space is definitely a general's momentum that is about to disappear, an aura that can be attached to a weapon, even I have not seen it a few times." ”

Brooke was a little stunned, he still remembered the shocking scene when Douglas successfully released the overlord momentum, the soldiers in the entire barracks, including him, fainted instantly and lost consciousness, and he had never seen the rumored general star momentum that could be compared to the overlord's momentum.

When the cooks woke up from the sudden shockwave, they all hid by the wall and looked at Douglas and the statue with fear.

"That's amazing!" Kim pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with a look of adoration.

"Stinky boy, don't die! Come here!" the pastry chef reminded.

"Oh, it's coming!" Reluctantly glancing at his idol, Kim ran behind the stone pillar with the flask in his arms.

The raindrops falling from the sky became more and more rapid, and before I knew it, a faint mist was floating in the courtyard, but some of the small plants next to the stone slabs in the corner were showing signs of dying, and the temperature in the courtyard was gradually rising because of the magma.

Old Brooke flew across the solidified magma belt and walked steadily to Douglas's side.

"Is it from the stone statue? Why haven't I noticed anything strange about it for so long, and you old bastard can notice it?"

"None of you chefs have ever touched it, have they? I guess no one has touched it since it was set up here, and the so-called 'keeping the secret of the stone statue' that has been passed down from generation to generation is just a deliberate fabrication to prevent you from discovering the secrets," Douglas gently brushed aside the gravel on the back of the stone statue, and they were completely shattered the moment they released the star momentum. Of course, it may also be to protect you, and the level of star momentum just now can easily penetrate the entire island, and if it were an ordinary person, the island of the sky would be completely wiped out from the blue sea. ”

"Old bastard, you're deliberately teasing me, aren't you?!" Brooke chuckled stiffly, his sideburns already covered in cold sweat.

"Brooke, we've had a lifelong relationship, do you think I need to lie to you at this juncture?"

Brooke shivered and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he looked back cautiously to see the rain and mist in the darkness behind him, but fortunately the young chefs were not there, otherwise they would have caused panic if they knew.

"I have the impression that I seem to have seen a similar font in the academy's ancient book library, what is it?

Hearing Douglas's somewhat annoyed voice, Old Brooke immediately cheered up and came over.

"What did you find again?"

"It seems to be a word, similar to the ancient continent script, but not very similar. ”

I saw that there was a square-like text under the broken mountain carried by the stone statue "Baxia", if it weren't for Douglas accidentally releasing the momentum of the general star sealed in it, this ancient text would never have been discovered by the outside world.

"It's... This is the ancient script of the Eastern Continent!" Old Brooke's whole body became nervous, "I know... This word, that's right, that's it, I've seen similar words on a cargo ship from the Eastern Continent, they're very similar, it's the 'seal' of 'seal', it must be right!"

"Does 'seal' mean 'seal'?"

Douglas looked around with a heavy heart, and saw that between the flashes of lightning, the marks of knives and axes around the hill seemed to have just been dug out, and in the mist, he seemed to see a vague figure shuttling back and forth, as fast as thunder.

"Brooke!" Douglas shouted suddenly.

"Huh?" Old Brooke was startled by his loud voice, and did not react at once.

"Have you investigated how that diamond-shaped cavern gushing out of magma was formed?"

"Of course, but not for reference," said Old Brooke, looking at the glowing hole, "the inner wall of the hole is as smooth as if it had been polished, but no one knows where it leads, and of course the people I am talking about are limited to the records of the work left by the successive chefs of the Sea Restaurant." ”

As for the shape of the hole, some people's arguments are even more absurd, and there is no point in discussing it at all. Old Brooke continued.

"Did any of those people say that this strange cave resembles a piercing wound after a human being stabbed with a sword?"

After hearing Douglas's astonishing words, Old Brooke suddenly raised his head and stared at Douglas's misty eyes, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Douglas, why did you say the same ridiculous thing to those unreliable guys?!"
