Volume II, Chapter 194
In a valley that was almost enclosed on all sides, bursts of roaring sound passed through the wind and snow that surrounded the valley, pointing out the way forward for Shi Leiyin, who was looking for a destination.
To be honest, Shi Leiyin really didn't expect that the true location of the Black Eclipse Dragon's lair would be in a valley that was completely enclosed on all sides and could only be accessed by flying. If it weren't for the roar of the Black Eclipse Dragon in the process of its transformation, Shi Leiyin would have been able to shuttle between those dragon zombies and spin around like a headless fly.
For Shi Leiyin, the large number of dragon zombies around the valley was a little easier to deal with than the valley itself. Although these dragon zombies are numerous, powerful, and fearless of death, at the cost of losing the keen senses of the monster or the ancient dragon itself, both sight, smell, and hearing have degraded to the point that they are inferior to ordinary humans. Basically, as long as he is careful, Shi Leiyin can easily avoid the cordon formed by a large number of dragon zombies even if he maintains his human form.
Therefore, the first trouble Shi Lei Yin encountered when entering the core realm of the Black Eclipse Dragon was how to climb the peak of the mountain that surrounded the lair. Since it is already at the southernmost point of the Extreme Cold Mountain Range, the snow and ice on the peaks are not frozen all year round, and the annual thaw and frost make the peaks frozen smooth as a mirror. Shi Leiyin's desire to climb up in human form is a fool's dream.
After failing to use his human form to activate the Ice Slime's ice diving ability, Sleiyin could only revert back to his slime form and then transform into his previous flying form. Although this form can propel Slimin to fly directly in the slime form, with the help of the ability to dive ice, it is obviously more energy-efficient to rush upwards along the frozen peaks.
Immediately after reaching the peak of the valley, Shi Leiyin encountered a second problem.
The second trouble also comes from the terrain, so to speak, from this valley. After hearing the roar of the Black Eclipse Dragon, Shi Leiyin only confirmed that the location of the roar should be a valley that must be enclosed on all sides and must climb or fly in. After climbing to the top of the valley, Shi Leiyin realized that the shape of this valley was really peculiar, and it did not look like it was formed naturally. The peaks around the valley are almost completely straight from the valley to the valley floor, the valley floor is flat like a pot bottom, and the black eclipse dragon's lair is the only object above the ground at the valley floor. The most exaggerated thing is that the surrounding mountain walls are like mirrors reflecting the opposite mountain wall, such a structure that any object that wants to descend from the surrounding mountain peaks to the bottom of the valley will inevitably be spotted by the black eclipse dragon in the middle of the valley. This made Shi Leiyin's idea of hiding near the lair and capturing the Black Eclipse Dragon as fast as possible basically reimbursed.
At the same time, the top of the valley seemed to be in response to the transformation of the Black Eclipse Dragon, and an unusually violent blizzard hovered over the top of the valley. Although the blizzard basically did not affect the valley floor, it also made it impossible for Shi Leiyin to choose to glide and parachute into the valley, and the blizzard that swirled like a hurricane would make Shi Leiyin completely lose his sense of direction before landing on the ground.
By the time Shi Leiyin reached the top of the mountain, the Black Eclipse Dragon's transformation had already been carried out for a small time. Watching it on the spot is much clearer than accepting the inheritance memory, and the transformation of the Black Eclipse Dragon into the Heavenly Dragon is a very peculiar sight. The metamorphosis of the black eclipse dragon initially resembled the larva of a cicada, with a split line in the center of its body. Then one of the bodies was like a human undressing, starting from the wings, the black part belonging to the black eclipse dragon gradually faded away, revealing the golden wings of the celestial dragon, and then the half of the body began to gradually fade down to black, then the front and rear limbs, and finally half of the head. The parts of the eyes of the black eclipse dragon are obscured by a whole piece of scale-like but slightly different objects, so the black eclipse dragon has no vision. But in the process of transforming into a dragon, this scale stood upright and became a horn behind the corner of the dragon's eyes. And as a celestial dragon, his eyes also opened, and for the first time, he began to experience the world through vision.
When one of the eyes opened, the transformation of the Black Eclipse Dragon was halfway completed. If this Black Eclipse Dragon had been affected by the Tyrannical Dragon Virus spread by other Celestial Dragons before its metamorphosis, and it continued until the metamorphosis period, then it would stop metamorphosing under the influence of the Celestial Dragon's Tyrosaurus Virus, and become an incomplete body of a half-Celestial Dragon, half Black Eclipse Dragon. And if this is a black eclipse dragon that grows independently. Then what will happen next will be as Shi Leiyin saw.
The previous half of the metamorphosis begins at the back where the wings are attached, while after the metamorphosis progresses to the head, the other half begins with the head.
After completing half of its transformation, the Black Eclipse Dragon let out a roar that was completely different from before. Then the upper eye cap on the other half of the skull also faded and erected, revealing the other eye of the Celestial Dragon. Then, as if accelerating, the entire head had transformed into the shape of a celestial dragon.
The head of the black eclipse dragon resembles a long cylinder, and if you don't open your mouth, you can't tell the position of your facial features. The Tianxia Dragon is completely different, in addition to the eyes and the horns of the head behind the eyes, the upper and lower jaws have also become angular and angular, and the lips and lower jaws even have dragon whiskers growing, and the entire head has basically completely changed into the shape of a Western dragon unique to ancient dragons.
After the complete transformation of its head, the Black Eclipse Dragon, perhaps now known as the Celestial Dragon, began to roar in pain again. Just like the sound when the wings faded before, the Celestial Dragon began to transform the other half's body. Since this half of the body is metamorphosed from the head. Therefore, when the metamorphosis is below the neck, the metamorphosis of the fore and fore limbs and wings takes place almost simultaneously. Obviously, this process was much more painful than before, and the roar of the Celestial Dragon was even more painful.
For Shi Leiyin, whether the transformation of the Heavenly Dragon was painful or not was obviously not within his consideration, and his purpose was the transformation of the Black Eclipse Dragon that the Heavenly Dragon had shed. However, the inheritance memory and habitual thinking still misled Shi Leiyin's judgment. In Shi Leiyin's thoughts, the Black Eclipse Dragon Molt should be similar to the cicada molt or the snake molt, which is a whole thing. But in fact, judging from what Shi Leiyin actually saw, the Black Eclipse Dragon was obviously not such a complete thing, and the black parts that belonged to the Black Eclipse Dragon were almost all shattered into pieces the size of a palm or even smaller. With a fragment of this size, if it encounters the air flow generated by the Heavenly Dragon when it takes off, Shi Leiyin will probably have to spend a lot of effort if he wants to obtain the Black Eclipse Dragon Molt in the first place.
Speaking of it quickly, in fact, the speed of the transformation of the Heavenly Dragon was not very fast, and every time it had to struggle and let out a few roars, it only shook off a few pieces from its body. The remaining half of the body was transformed, and it took nearly an hour. And the length of the tail in the end took half an hour. It wasn't until Shi Leiyin was solidly frozen on the mountain peak that the Heavenly Dragon completed the entire transformation process out of breath and lay on the spot to recover his strength.
