Chapter 606: Success! Dragon Soul! (Ask for a commuter pass)
That legendary Flame City is so far away.
Shen Lang and High Priest Shelley kept flying north, all the way they flew, all the time they flew......
In order to avoid causing disputes again, the two of them have been flying along the coastline, and to some extent, the Vulcan Sect is also a relatively poor transcendent force, and they don't have flying beasts, so the one that High Priest Shelley is riding is still borrowed from Shen Ye.
But I don't know why, she used the reason that she needed to talk to Shen Lang secretly to ride with Shen Lang.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, I haven't congratulated you on your great victory in the Eastern World. High Priest Shelley said, "Of course, I want to congratulate you on having an incomparable Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Shen Lang said, "Have you seen my son?"
Shelley High Priest said: "Your Majesty Shen Lang, you have underestimated the power of the Great Qian Empire too much, and you have also underestimated your own weight, as your closest and most loyal friend in the West, when the Empress and the Crown Prince come to Jade City, how could we not come to visit us? ”
Shen Lang said: "At least, he is more suitable than me to be the king of a country." ”
High Priest Shelley said: "So I often think that in the future, my son can be half as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he will be very satisfied." ”
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "Is the High Priest going to get married? That's really heartbreaking." ”
High Priest Shelley said: "His Majesty Shen Lang's words are heartbreaking, you promised me, have you forgotten?"
Shen Lang thought hard, and really remembered, and suddenly he exclaimed: "Wow, the scenery in front is really good." ”
Damn, you're so clumsy in changing the subject.
High Priestess Shelley pandered, "Yes, it's beautiful. ”
At this time, it had flown about 20,000 miles from Raging Tide City, completely crossing most of the territory of the Xilun Empire.
Further north, it's mostly snowy.
And the sea here has gradually begun to solidify into ice.
It is indeed very beautiful, the sea is about to solidify, but it has not yet frozen, half is ice, half is seawater, and under the light of the sun, it reflects the dazzling light, which is really beautiful.
Shen Lang said: "Is this close to the Extreme North Continent?"
High Priest Shelley said: "No, Your Majesty Shen Lang, this place is at least ten thousand miles away from the Extreme North Continent. ”
It's really unimaginable, the sea here has been completely frozen, but there are still ten or twenty thousand miles away from the extreme north continent, and it can't be so cold that it will be cold to the north.
Shen Lang said: "Regarding the Extreme North Continent, have you explored it?"
High Priest Shelley said: "The Extreme North Continent is the adventure mecca of the heroes of the whole world, no one wants to conquer, but no one succeeds, even a great adventurer like Vice Emperor Helen has given up the adventure of the Far North Continent." ”
Shen Lang said: "Is it because of Bai Jing's relationship? As we all know, the place where there is snow in the world is Bai Yujing's domain, and once you enter the Extreme North Continent, it will be a complete offense." ”
High Priest Shelley said: "No, I have not heard this sentence until the Eastern World, and I have never heard it before. But at least in the Western world, Bai Jing is lonely and arrogant, never showing his face, and never making contact with anyone, so they will not prevent anyone from going to the Far North to adventure, the only thing that hinders the hero from going on an adventure is terrible danger and cold. ”
Shen Lang said: "How cold is it?"
High Priest Shelley said: "Your Majesty Shen Lang, we generally describe the cold as dripping into ice, but the real cold of the Extreme North Continent is that the entire air has disappeared, because it has solidified into blue snow and falls on the ground. ”
This, it's terrifying.
This means that the temperature is more than minus 200 degrees Celsius, the melting point of oxygen is around minus 219 degrees Celsius, and the melting point of nitrogen is minus 210 degrees Celsius.
Once the temperature drops below this, all the air solidifies into ice, turns into eerie blue snow, and falls to the ground, so there is no air.
With this extreme low temperature, life is completely unviable.
Shen Lang said: "This extremely harsh environment has exceeded the limit of almost any life, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible to successfully go to the Extreme North Continent." ”
High Priestess Shelley said, "Yes, my majesty. ”
Shen Lang said: "So in the known history, how many people have successfully reached the Far North Continent?"
High Priest Shelley said, "Is there only the history of the West? ”
This is incredible, why is Sauron so awesome? The Far North Continent can't even go to Helen, and he doesn't dare to go, so why can he go?
Shen Lang said: "In what year did Sauron go to the continent to adventure?"
Shelley said: "It's been a very, very long time, it should have been more than thirty years, and he was only in his twenties at that time. ”
Emperor Soren is also in his fifties this year, but this is normal, Shen Lang is also thirty-one years old, and Princess Helen is also in her forties.
High Priest Shelley said: "At that time, the Xilun Empire was divided and Sauron was just a prince, so he set off to the north in front of the entire imperial capital, and wanted to go to the extreme north continent. He said at the time that once he succeeded in reaching the Far North Continent and taking back the sword of Xilun the Great, then everyone would have to be loyal to him, and he would become the undisputed emperor of the Xilun Empire. ”
Shen Lang could feel the tragedy of Sauron at that time.
At that time, decades had passed since the destruction of the Second Empire of Xilun, and the members of the Xilun royal family fought to the death for the throne, with no end in sight, and no one had enough prestige to reunite the Xilun Empire.
Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Xilun apparently foresaw this scene, so he passed the throne to his son before he died, and went north alone, returned to his homeland in the Far North, and disappeared with his emperor's sword.
The nobles of the entire empire witnessed this scene, the disappearance of the back of Silun I, the old, powerful, lonely, brave back, disappeared step by step into the heavy snow.
And when Xilun I left his last words, when the empire was divided, any descendant of the Xilun royal family, as long as he got the sword of the Xilun Emperor left in his hometown in the extreme north continent and returned to the imperial capital, then he would be the new emperor of the Xilun Empire.
After that, the Xilun Empire was torn apart more than once, and more than one person wanted to accomplish this feat, wanting to rely on the last words of the Xilun Great to ascend to the throne.
But all of them failed, and none of them succeeded in coming back with the sword of Xilun the Great, and all of them died halfway through.
Moreover, the Far North continent is getting colder and colder.
So in the back, everyone in the Xilun royal family completely gave up, because this was a road to death.
And Sauron, who was in his twenties at the time, although he was also a member of the Xilun royal family, his inheritance was not in the front, he was ambitious, but he did not have many supporters, so he chose to embark on this tragic road, go to his hometown in the extreme north, and get back the emperor's sword where Xilun I put it.
When he disappeared into the ice and snow, no one looked at him favorably, and everyone felt that he was certain to die.
But he didn't expect that decades later, he would come back, with the Emperor's Sword of Xilun I.
He became the first hero in hundreds of years to successfully return from his hometown in the Far North Continent, he not only came back with the sword of the Emperor Xilun, but also his martial arts were extremely unfathomable, so powerful that he exceeded everyone's imagination.
And now after thoroughly understanding the situation, Shen Lang was even more puzzled.
At that time, the Xilun people moved south because the northern continent became cold, and after the most tragic tens of thousands of miles to move south, millions of people were finally left with 10,000 people.
The Xilun Emperor relied on these 10,000 people to sweep across the entire Vida Continent and establish the huge Xilun Empire.
In the past few hundred years, the Far North Continent has been getting cold every year, and Xilun I returned to Jiujing before his death, and put the Emperor's Sword back to his hometown. Hundreds of years later, the temperature in the old capital of Xilun should have reached the point where there is no air, how did Sauron survive?
Shen Lang suddenly said: "A thousand years ago, the Xilun Empire was in the northern continent, right? Because the weather became very cold, and the northern continent was not suitable for survival, they made the most tragic move of the whole clan to the south, along the ocean, towards the unknown south. ”
High Priestess Shelley said, "That's right. ”
Shen Lang said: "That thousand years ago, was it the day when the Fire Dragon Comet first appeared?"
High Priestess Shelley said, "Yes, my majesty, this world is so wonderful, isn't it?"
yes, it's amazing.
The Fire Dragon Comet appeared for the first time, the Great Yan Empire rose, the northern continent froze, and the Xilun Empire moved south.
The Fire Dragon Comet struck the Emperor for the last time, and died out completely, and the situation changed drastically.
The dragon is born.
High Priest Shelley said, "So my majesty, your mission may be far greater than you imagined. Rest assured, we at Vulcan will always be your faithful allies. ”
Shen Lang looked at Shelley and asked, "What is your purpose?"
High Priest Shelley said, "In the darkest hour, of course, it ignites the whole world. ”
Shen Lang said: "Actually, it is not only Sauron who has really succeeded in going to the Far North Continent, there is another person earlier, that is, my father Jiang Li. ”
Jiang Li ventured in the Western world for a long time, and then did not return directly to the Eastern world, but went north to the Far North Continent, where he discovered Bai Jing and met Shen Lang's mother.
At this time, in front of Shen Lang, there was really a mystery, but it seemed to be faintly about to be solved.
....................................
Finally, it's coming!
The cold here is already very amazing, reaching tens of degrees below zero, fortunately Shen Lang has the Ancient King Ring and the Heart of the Dragon, otherwise he would have frozen to death a few days ago.
At this time, the sea is even more beautiful, because there are icebergs everywhere, and large areas of the sea are completely frozen.
"It's really getting colder here. High Priest Shelley said, "I came here a few years ago, and this sea area has not been completely frozen. ”
Shen Lang said: "In other words, Flame City is close to the Extreme North Continent?"
High Priest Shelley said: "According to the theory of our Vulcan Sect, Flame City is the dividing line between the Vader Continent and the Northern Continent, because it is an island, and its south is the vast sea, and the north is also the vast sea. Two thousand miles further north of the ocean, you can see the northern continent, the continent that has been completely frozen. ”
Shen Lang didn't feel it, because in the end, there was ice and snow everywhere for thousands of miles, and the sea surface was completely frozen, and he couldn't tell whether it was land or sea.
"Your Majesty, the island in front of you is the entrance to Flame City. High Priest Shelley said.
Shen Lang was stunned, and his eyes lit up.
It was a frozen sea, and there was snow everywhere, and not far in front of it was a mountain full of blue mountains, which were like a huge jewel in the sunlight.
"My Majesty, it's too cold there for me to bear. High Priest Shelley said.
Not only could the High Priestess of Shelley bear it, but the two ultrasonic flying beasts couldn't bear it either, trembling.
Because the closer you are to the entrance to Flame City, the cooler the temperature becomes.
High Priest Shelley said: "A few decades ago, there was endless magma under this Flame City, so there was a lot of snow around it, but this island was as warm as spring, which was very wonderful. But after that experiment failed, it became even colder than the rest of the place. ”
Shen Lang landed on the ice, Da Chao couldn't get close, there were still more than ten miles away from the entrance of Huoyan City, Shen Lang needed to walk over by himself.
"You are waiting for me here. Shen Lang said: "And eat a little to replenish your energy, just come back." ”
"Your Majesty be careful. High Priestess Shelley said, "You haven't fulfilled your promise to me." ”
"Wow, this scenery is incredible. Shen Lang said, and then walked quickly towards the entrance of Fire Flame City.
....................................
It's really easy to walk here, because it's a frozen sea, and it's full of snow, but the snow is also frozen, and you can't bury your instep when you step on it, so it's just right for walking.
Shen Lang was wearing the Ancient King Ring and the Ancient Armor, and he was completely in a comfortable constant temperature state.
Getting closer and closer to the entrance of Flame City, this is an iceberg several hundred meters high.
When I walked in, I found it even more beautiful. Because the green trees inside the ice can still be seen clearly.
This Flame Island was originally like spring all year round, but because of an accident in the Vulcan Sect's experiment, it was frozen in an instant, so those trees were still lifelike in the ice.
I really can't imagine what kind of treasure the Vulcan Cult got from the comet impact at that time, and how much power it would take to completely freeze such a large island and the entire dungeon, and it was instantaneous.
Stepping on this island, Shen Lang not only found green trees in the ice, but also saw flowers, and even butterflies and birds.
All of them were frozen in the last moments, lifelike.
Absolutely paramount!
High Priest Shelley said that it was a surging crystal, and according to normal thinking, did it instantly release cold energy and freeze everything?
But in fact, it should not be like this, but it swallows up all the heat, and it is constantly devouring, so it will cause the wonder of instant ice and ice continuously.
It's a coincidence, isn't it? The Far North is the same, all of a sudden it gets colder, and it gets colder and colder, and eventually it's completely frozen.
It also happened that when the Fire Dragon Comet first appeared, the Far North continent was frozen over.
Of course, the cooling of the Far North lasted for 200 years, the Fire Dragon Comet appeared a thousand years ago, and the Xilun Emperor crossed the sea with millions of Xilun people 800 years ago.
That is to say, in the past two hundred years, the northern continent has become colder and colder, and the old Xilun Empire has continued to move south, and finally migrated to the southernmost tip of the continent and still could not survive, so it decisively crossed the sea and went to the unknown southern world.
Shen Lang easily found the entrance, which was a stone door with the banner carvings of the Divine Sect on it.
Shen Lang asked Zhi Brain to check it, and the temperature at the entrance of Huoyan City was about minus seventy-nine degrees Celsius.
The stone gate at the entrance was also completely frozen and so thick that it could not even explode explosives or penetrate the cannons.
But for Shen Lang, it was completely easy.
"Energy Vortex ......"
Wielding the dragon's sword, the energy vortex shot out and slammed into the entrance of the stone gate.
In an instant, the entrance to this stone gate was shattered.
But this made Shen Lang have a bad feeling, if Ghost Wu had come here with a dragon, then the entrance to the stone gate here should have been destroyed, not so complete.
After entering the stone gate, the temperature inside dropped instantly.
In front of him was a bottomless underground passage, and Shen Lang kept walking down along the passage.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, getting lower and lower, and soon it will reach minus 100 degrees Celsius, of course, Shen Lang is still at a constant temperature, and he almost never has to worry about running out of energy, because the energy source in the dragon's heart is the dragon's blood marrow.
One thousand meters underground, two thousand meters!
Finally, I entered the interior of Flame City.
It was originally a normal ancient city, but because of the great extinction of antiquity, the whole world has undergone earth-shattering changes, the sea has become land, and the land has become the sea, so the city is also buried underground.
And the passage of two thousand meters just now was dug out by the Vulcan Sect, because they discovered this ancient Fire Flame City a few decades ago, and it can be regarded as an ancient relic to some extent.
This is the Western world, and it is said that all the ancient cities are supposed to be in the style of a lost empire, half under the sea and half above the sea.
This city is completely different from the Lost Empire, the whole city is completely built of brown stone, not gorgeous, it looks magnificent, quaint, and mysterious.
The city appears to be very intact, about a few hundred square kilometers or so, and even the streets and houses remain intact. But there is not a single ancient human in the city, not even fossils.
The whole city is very planned, in the middle of the city is a square, and in the center of the square is a pyramid, about 100 meters high.
Pyramids again.
Along the way, Shen Lang saw a lot of corpses, all of them were wearing the robes of the Vulcan Sect, they should be the shamans and scholars sent here by the Vulcan Sect back then, and the moment they fled, their whole bodies froze and died, and their faces still maintained a frightened expression.
The closer you get to the pyramid in the center of the Flame City Ruins, the more Vulcan corpses you will encounter.
However, they did not escape more than 200 meters at the farthest point, which shows that the experiment was very sudden, and it was frozen almost instantly.
In the entire city, Shen Lang did not find the shadow of Ghost Wu and Jiang Li.
Of course, Luo Zu said that Ghost Wu is a man with a thousand faces, and you never know what face he will use. But at least he won't wear Vulcan robes, right?
Shen Lang entered the pyramid, which was the place where the Vulcan Sect conducted experiments.
The temperature here is even more alarming, it has reached minus 150 degrees Celsius.
Almost all of the experimental devices were shrouded in a thick layer of ice.
Shen Lang promised High Priest Shelley that if he could, help the Vulcan Sect find the treasure that had been struck down from the Fire Dragon Comet.
The Vulcan Cult calls it the Hell Crystal.
Because it can change into any shape, it can be gaseous, liquid, solid, and it is constantly surging and destroying everything.
According to the map of High Priest Shelley, Shen Lang entered the core laboratory inside the pyramid.
The Hell Crystal that landed from the Fire Dragon Comet should be here?
But Shen Lang didn't find anything, the test bench was empty, there were fifteen corpses in the laboratory, all of them were the high priests of the Fire God Sect, and everyone had an extremely excited light in their eyes.
Isn't that right, shouldn't it be a ray of despair and fear? Why the excitement?
Is it because they think the experiment was successful?
But where is the Hell Crystal? Where is this supreme treasure?
It's completely gone!
Of course, Shen Lang's most critical mission when he came to the ruins of Huoyan City was to find Ghost Wu.
But I searched the entire pyramid, and I still didn't see the figure of Ghost Wu.
Shen Lang continued to search and came to the bottom of the pyramid, where there was a door, and there was a bottomless passage behind the door.
He knew that the passage to the Pyramid Lands led to the sea of magma.
The Sea of Magma, this is the name of the Vulcan Cult, because the endless world is full of surging magma, like an ocean.
At this point, the door at the bottom of the pyramid is closed and frozen.
Shen Lang had another energy vortex, which was easily shattered, and then entered the bottomless underground passage again.
This underground passage is even deeper, more than 20,000 meters, and it has been going down diagonally, making Shen Lang doubt his life.
The further down, the temperature gets lower and lower.
Eventually, all the air was gone, and the ground was covered with a layer of blue snow, which was the result of all the air solidifying into ice.
Fortunately, Shen Lang has the heart of the dragon and the ancient king ring, and he is still very comfortable.
This is the first time I've seen this scene, the air has frozen into ice and turned into snow.
Finally!
This long underground passage is over and has come to an end.
Then Shen Lang completely ...... Stunned!
At the end of this underground passage is an endless abyss, with no end in sight.
And beneath this abyss is the sea of magma.
He saw a strange sight like never before, a sea of solidified magma.
The magma was originally incredibly hot, at least above 1,000 degrees Celsius. After solidification, it should be an ordinary rock color, but the sea of magma in front of you is blue.
It's a stunning blue with an eerie glow.
It's really like the ocean, even the sea is the color, but it's not frozen.
This...... This was almost the most marvelous scenery Shen Lang had ever seen, even surpassing the ruins of the Lost Empire in the Devil's Triangle.
This sea of magma is much bigger than expected, what an amazing fiery energy it contains? No wonder Jiang Li asked Ghost Wu to bring the dragon here at that time, because the magma here is enough for the dragon to devour and grow.
However, unexpectedly, an accident occurred, and the sea of magma here was frozen and solidified. What the hell is that hell crystal? Freezing such a large sea of magma?
What is magma? It's a planet's underground energy, almost endless.
When all the volcanoes on a planet fall silent, the planet dies, and the volcano is the beating heart of the planet.
What about the Far North Continent?
Is it because of this? because of the strange hell crystals that swallow up all the heat and freeze the entire continent?
Then it's not a crystal, it's a life, a strange and powerful life, a life that devours all heat.
With Shen Lang's understanding, he couldn't know what the state of this living form was?
What exactly does it want to do?
What does it want to do by devouring the heat of a continent?
Shen Lang could feel that he had come into contact with the ultimate secret of this world, the ultimate truth.
Of course, only the edge of the truth.
This truth is even more important than Shen Lang's taming of the dragon.
It's even about the fate of the whole world.
This Hell Crystal is still devouring desperately, because the magma deep underground is supposed to be connected.
So the whole world will continue to get colder in the future.
So where is the limit of coldness? Where is the limit of devouring?
What happens once these hell crystals are swallowed to the limit?
How will it change the fate of the world? Destroy it again? Or something else?
Of course, this is still a little far away from Shen Lang for the time being, and for him, the most important thing at the moment is ...... Find the Ghost Afternoon and find the way to tame the dragon.
Soon Shen Lang found Ghost Wu.
He knelt in the middle of the sea of magma, for his body was so small, like an ant in the vast and infinite sea of magma.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and slammed from the end of the underground passage towards the sea of solidified magma, a full height of several hundred meters.
As it was about to hit the ground, its ancient equipment reflected a stream of plasma flames, allowing him to land slowly.
The magma was completely hardened, not even rock, but more like a crystal. There was already a complete vacuum, and the temperature exceeded minus 230 degrees Celsius.
After walking a few thousand meters, Shen Lang came to the front of the figure.
He...... He's the Ghost Afternoon?
Shen Lang had thought about his appearance countless times, but when he actually saw it, he was completely shocked.
Because...... He and His Majesty Jiang Li look very similar, very similar, almost identical.
Of course, Shen Lang had only seen the portrait of His Majesty Jiang Li, but that portrait was very realistic.
Ghost Wu is the shadow of His Majesty Jiang Li, and even Xue Yin doesn't know about his existence.
That is equivalent to the relationship between Shen Lang and the mirror. One is called a mirror and the other is called a shadow.
But this is normal, this is reasonable.
But...... He's dead!
The ghost in front of him is dead, completely frozen, and has been dead for decades.
When he was dying, he knelt on the ground, extremely respectful, and saw Jiang Li in anti-poison, and his last frozen expression seemed to have a thousand words.
But I can vaguely read that the old slave visits the young master and His Majesty.
His eyes before he died were full of longing, because he didn't know if His Majesty Jiang Li would have descendants, and if anyone would come to him.
If not, it means that the Great Qian Empire is completely finished, and it means that the Jiang royal family is also completely finished.
So he longed for someone to come. Desperately, someone would find him.
Shen Lang had a thousand words to ask him, but he couldn't get an answer.
But there are some things that do not need to be answered.
The dragon had an agreement with Shen Lang to find it with what he had lost.
So what did it lose? It must be crucial, and it can't be retrieved.
It's the thing that Ghost Wu is holding in both hands!
Dragon Ball!
Shen Lang found it.

Note: Sure enough, it was exploded again, do you want to be so miserable? Everyone, can you still save me? Thank you very much, buckle it on the table.
