Chapter 513: Dragon's Lair
Not far to the east, the dragon's lair.
After a short period of effort, under the guidance of Emperor Xuanyuan, Wei Jiu came to this so-called dragon's lair. To be precise, this is a canyon, a huge canyon, but it is clear that there are countless powerful life breaths hidden in the hurry.
As the name suggests, these breaths of life should be composed of dragons with their heads in mind.
In the era of the gods, there was such a thing as a dragon knight, and the dragon clan has existed in this world since ancient times. Later, after the fall of the gods, the dragon clan was also forcibly included in this secret realm, as if they were buried together, and they were permanently guarded in this secret realm.
Back then, Chi You had not yet been reborn and resurrected in the Huanglu Secret Realm, and the power of abomination back then had not yet become a climate, and the Huanghuang Secret Realm back then was a realm ruled by the gods and dragons.
Although the dead burial spirits have lost consciousness, the spirits of the gods are not. They also retain a clear sense of autonomy, they know very well what they can and should do.
Although there was a lot of spiritual energy in the Secret Realm, it was a dead place after all, and it was not a place they wanted to stay at all. In addition, each of these gods has its own supernatural powers, and there are many gods who can be reincarnated after leaving the secret realm.
For them, being trapped here forever is definitely more painful than death.
Later, there was the first battle in this secret realm, and it was also the largest battle to date. The two sides of the war are the two major decision-making groups in this secret realm, the dragons and the gods.
Every god knew very well that they would not be able to leave this damn place until they defeated the dragons. And every dragon also knows in their hearts that this is their mission, and they must use their own strength and life to guard this secret realm to complete their duty of guarding the tomb.
This war lasted for nearly a hundred years. But the two clans themselves are powerful, and coupled with the evenly matched game, neither of them can take half of the advantage. Because of this, after a hundred years, the gods and dragons did not have too many casualties.
It's just that with the war between the two races, disease and pestilence also come with sorrow and despair, which is the best nourishment for the power of abomination.
The nascent power of abomination, though terrifying, was not powerful, and the gods and dragons could have easily erased it.
It's just a pity that greed and hatred have blinded the eyes of the two races, and they have only one thought in their hearts, and that is to crush the enemy in front of them. It was also at that time that they chose to ignore the growth of the power of abomination, and at the same time missed the opportunity to completely wipe out the power of abomination.
Later, the power of abomination took shape, and began to hunt and devour all gods in a frenzy.
The dragons and the gods finally realized what a foolish mistake they had made, but they had made a mistake that they could not remorse. Under the pressure of the power of hatred, the two clans finally reached a certain degree of reconciliation, and the strong men on both sides began to forget their hatred for each other.
Since then, the dragons have no longer scattered in the secret realm, but have gathered in this mysterious realm known as the Dragon's Lair, which is rumored to be free from the nuisance of the power of abomination.
The gods were not so lucky, and they could only wander in the secret realm, hiding from the spread of the abomination force. The only thing to be thankful for is that this abomination does not grow quickly, leaving a lot of room for the gods to flee.
Gradually, in the Secret Realm, it has become the current situation.
Wei Jiu dealt with it for a long time in front of the dragon's nest, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and these powerful aura made him feel fear. Although he knew that with his current strength, there was no way to be afraid of one-on-one.
But on the other hand, he also knew that once he stepped into the canyon, the dragons would not be one-on-one with him.
"Senior Xuanyuan, since the destination is ahead, we are not in a hurry for this moment. You might as well tell me about the specific situation, right? Could it be that we are going to go in and fight these dragons directly? That would be a bit abnormal, right?" Wei Jiu asked helplessly.
Xuanyuan Sword shook slightly, and then Emperor Xuanyuan's voice came, "Indeed... We definitely can't rush in, the dragons in here are very powerful, and they were able to fight the gods in a tie back then. Although after many years, their strength will be greatly reduced, but no one can guarantee for sure, what treacherous methods they are still hiding!"
Wei Jiu nodded in agreement, but didn't interject.
I only heard Emperor Xuanyuan continue, "What's more, these dragons are all sleeping now. The things we need for this trip won't endanger the dragon's life, so if we are careful, it won't necessarily disturb them!"
Hearing this, Wei Jiucai finally put his mind at ease, if he could quietly take what he wanted, it would naturally be the best.
"In that case, the junior dared to ask, what is the so-called chain of locking arrays?" Wei Jiu asked in a deep voice.
Emperor Xuanyuan replied with a smile, "The Chain of Locks is a general term, not a clear reference to a specific item... In the era of the gods back then, some people made it out of extraterrestrial meteorite copper, and some people made it out of thousand-year-old cold iron, but these didn't exist in the Secret Realm!"
Seeing that Wei Jiu didn't answer, Emperor Xuanyuan simply continued, "In the great war between the gods and the dragon clan, there was a powerful emperor who fell, and he was the king of the dragon clan at the beginning... After the death of the first king, his body was buried in the dragon mound of the dragon's lair, and after thousands of years of corrosion and weathering, this dragon bone also disappeared completely, leaving only a huge vertebrae, which was still buried in the dragon mound. And now, it's become the chain of locks we need!"
Wei Jiu was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "So it seems that I only need to go into the dragon mound to steal the vertebrae?"
Wei Jiu's excitement was not without reason, after all, with the transformation of the task, the difficulty dropped directly by a notch. For the dragon clan, although the dragon mound is important, Wei Jiu believes that if he simply steals something, it will not be too difficult.
"Hehe, don't underestimate this dragon mound!" Emperor Xuanyuan said in a deep voice, "That is the burial place of the dragon kings of the past dynasties, and it is also the breeding place of the newborn dragon clan... There are countless dragon eggs inside, and it is also the place they value the most, so there are dragons guarding there all the time!"
"But I don't think it's too difficult!" Wei Jiu chuckled.
"That's right, I'm not going to let you take unnecessary risks... If it had been a month ago, this plan might have been unrealistic, but it just so happens that we came at the right time this time!" Emperor Xuanyuan chuckled in a low voice, "The Dragon Clan has a dormancy period every year, often almost ten days... I've roughly deduced it, and it's been a few days!"
"What do you say about the dormant period?" Wei Jiu hurriedly asked.
"It's easy to understand, it's like what we call sleeping... During these ten days, their metabolism is the slowest stage, and their overall body functions will decline, and they will fall into a state of tiredness, which is commonly known as drowsiness!" replied Emperor Xuanyuan.
Wei Jiu smiled slightly and continued to ask, "This also means that even if I break into the dragon mound, those guarding dragons are still asleep and will not easily find me?"
"But you can't take it lightly, if you move too much, or expose your target too much, then it will still be easy for the dragon clan to detect!" Emperor Xuanyuan chuckled and continued to ask, "But I'm curious, how far has your current strength grown?"
This question, Emperor Xuanyuan actually wanted to ask Wei Jiu for a long time. After all, in the sea of ruins, what does Wei Jiu have to do with the mysterious Tai Chi Bagua Diagram, and how much his strength has grown, these questions are probably only known to him.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he only heard Wei Jiu say confidently, "Although I don't know, what does that sea of ruins have to do with me... But obviously, the power of Tai Chi Bagua has been fully absorbed by me, and my current strength can directly destroy the clone of the main god of war. I don't think I'm afraid of the dragons!"
"In that case, then young man, it's better to act than to get ready to go!" Emperor Xuanyuan said with a chuckle.
Wei Jiu nodded, didn't say anything more, but tied the Xuanyuan Sword to his waist. As soon as his feet were wrong, he disappeared straight in place, striding towards the dragon's lair.
As he said, his current strength cannot even be measured by himself. It can be said that this is a kind of self-confidence, a kind of confident self-confidence, although there are dangers in the dragon's nest, he also firmly believes that he has no problems.
Walking in this canyon, Wei Jiu's divine sense could clearly capture the powerful energy that was sleeping in the dark.
The dragon is worthy of being able to compete with the gods at the beginning, and such a terrifying power is indeed worthy of its name. Wei Jiu didn't dare to stay longer, and his divine sense didn't dare to stay longer, no one could guarantee that these dragons would suddenly wake up.
Following the direction guided by Emperor Xuanyuan, Wei Jiu's speed became faster and faster, and after a while, he came to the destination of this trip, the dragon mound.
Sure enough, just as Emperor Xuanyuan said, Wei Jiu felt that there were many new lives in it. Although the breath was faint, it was clearly felt in the divine sense, and they were growing strongly.
It's no wonder that the dragon clan is so precious to this dragon mound, here is not only the burial of the bones of the dragon king, but also the birth of this dragon clan's new lifeforms, they are the future of this race.
"This is it!" Wei Jiu nodded firmly, and then a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, he had already made up his mind to kill. The God of War is the source of all disasters, and it is also the source of the fall of the Four Emperors, as long as he can completely solve the God of War of the Lord of War, even if he bears great pressure, he is willing.
