Chapter Seventy-Three: The Girl Who Eats Soil
"Alas~" A faint voice sounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the corner of the ruins, a girl was sitting in place, hugging her knees.
Obviously, the girl was not human.
The long silver-gray hair, the somewhat dull silver-gray eyes, and the small horns on the head and the hourglass-shaped black lines that spread around the eye sockets are quite beautiful like masks.
Of course, it's not just that.
Her arms, starting at her elbows and ending at the palms, were covered with silver-gray scales, and the part of what should have been a slender, white hand was a pair of sharp, glittering claws.
Similarly, one of her calves was also covered with silver-gray scales, and from behind her, a dragon tail with two tail tips of just the right thickness and a pair of wide dragon wings that were folded up behind her could be seen.
This is a dragon man girl.
"I thought that there should be more materials in the dragon's lair at this time, but I didn't expect that there would only be a little bit~" The dragon girl pouted, and then seemed to think of something, lowered her head, and sighed.
"And accidentally destroyed Sister Lila's virus parasite......." She couldn't help but shake when she remembered what had just happened, and then looked around, as if the other party would suddenly appear next to her and press her to the ground and beat her, "Definitely going to be beaten!?" Absolutely, right!? ”
"Sister Lila, the gene of the Time Dragon, also has it, and even ate a bronze dragon from an ectopic plane last time, originally my time breath was useless to her, but now ......."
The girl was about to cry, and if Lila knew, she would definitely beat her up, right? How can anyone be so bullied?
"Poor Milk Snake, poor Milk Snake, come out and let me bully you......"
She had a premonition that she was going to be deflated at the hands of others, so she immediately set her sights on her sister.
But that doesn't keep her from being beaten, right?
In the end, I can't escape.
"Alas~Diana, you're so stupid~"
Diana sighed again, and then staggered out as if she were floating.
..............
Rewind to a few days ago.
Events in the Mangro Forest have not yet begun.
Searching for possible ruins of the Time Dragon, she obtained a worn-out ring from Celina, and the number of magic casts on it had been used up.
However, this is an important clue for her.
Because, the magic above is the magic of sluggishness.
Slow magic with temporal properties.
For a dragonman of her time dragon bloodline, this can be a clue.
She dared to vouch for her collection, and she felt the breath of unusual time in the magic ring.
She was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the ring, which had been storing the magic of slowness.
So, she followed the magic ring and searched for it.
Eventually, the place was found.
As for the rest of the clues?
Although it is impossible for her to travel in the long river of time, she can still clearly perceive the breath of unusual time.
Whether it was in the deepest part of this ruin, the fragments that contained the breath of time, or the place where the ciphertext of the magic ring pointed, those things were undoubtedly her Diana's.
Of course, there are some gains that must be made.
She was so excited that she rushed over directly, carrying some small things on her.
"Star Hourglass."
The hourglass made of stellar sand, although it does not burn any magic or spells, is simply a decorative thing that is more decorative than practical to others.
But for Diana, a dragonman who was cultivated by the synthesis of the blood of the Time Dragon and is better in some aspects, this Star Hourglass is a perceptual prop that can amplify the breath of time that is unusual.
In other words, it's a good perceptual amplifier.
The Time Dragon has a collection of all sorts of hourglasses, quarter-clocks, dials, and the like, whether they work or not.
And for Diana, she only collects these useful boutiques.
If it doesn't help at all, she'll just take one last look with pity and move on to find other useful time items.
"What is this?"
Diana, who had just arrived at the ruins, cast a gaze in her silver-gray eyes that swept over the shattered stone clock fragments.
The hourglass in her hand was flowing several times faster than usual.
The kind of time that comes from the unusual time, that peculiar time atmosphere, makes it active.
However, Diana did not immediately investigate, but silently observed the entire ruins, noting the location of all the fragments in a matter of minutes, even the location of a fine grain of sand, before moving towards the fragment that made the hourglass fluctuate the most, and ran towards it quickly.
Then, she discovered something.
"It's kind of weird.......
Diana frowned, and the moment she moved, the fragment she had perceived through the hourglass in her hand, which contained the most breath of time, suddenly changed into another piece.
And the fragment that the hourglass was pointing to was not the same fragment as the one she perceived.
But it's not the original piece.
She and Hourglass get three different answers.
"Really?"
Diana moved again, and then, something that appeared made her understand something.
"It's a little tricky!"
At this stage, she has made two moves and also used two hourglasses.
Then the number of targets that resulted in a change in fragments became seven.
"Let's do it again!"
In this case, even she had to be a little cautious.
If you do it again, you will inevitably have to do some other tests.
Although she hadn't really come into contact with these fragments, she could tell from the time they had such complex changes that they had something to do with the ruins.
Moreover, the possibility of having something to do with the Time Dragon is getting bigger and bigger.
For other beings, even gods would never dare to touch the realm of time.
The favor of time will only be reflected in some special lives.
Aside from them, if any other life dares to touch this realm, there is only one way to die.
Those forerunners are able to put out a dense list of deaths, and things that have to do with "time" will definitely not be a good thing for them.
However, this was not the case for Diana.
She doesn't need to be afraid of time, she doesn't need to be afraid of those powers.
However, she thinks she has to be careful.
The mystery and danger of time are equally famous.
So, when she noticed that the change of the breath of time on the fragment was becoming more and more abnormal, Diana chose to take a step back, and the exit she deliberately left behind allowed her to quickly break away.
For others, they are completely unable to feel the breath of time, and it is very likely that when they step into "decay" and retreat in panic, they will step into "eternity" again.
Eternally decaying.
This is definitely not a happy thing.
Even if these words carry the seductive word "eternity".
The body keeps decaying, but the process of decay does not end, and he cannot die because of eternity.
That kind of suffering that lasts indefinitely can make all lives collapse.
In the realm of time, only things that also have the attribute of "time" can compete with it.
Even properties such as "space" are second to it, and they cannot have a sufficiently effective effect on time and space.
At the same time, space is also affected by time, and it has a greater impact.
"Collapse", "decay" are quite capable of exerting a sufficiently large influence on it.
After Diananna retreated, she chose a relatively clean place among the ruins as a place to rest temporarily.
Then, a space-frozen dragon's breath erupted from her mouth and poured into the geometric shapes that surrounded the ruins.

In Diana's eyes, the unstable breath of those times became more and more intense, and the fragments, just like the "decaying" life that had been sucked into it before, disintegrated and turned into ashes in an instant after a short fluctuation.
In such a place, such a "destructive" action is almost nothing that has happened to her.
If she wants to say anything, she can only say that the moment she entered, the changes in those fragments were somewhat unexpected by her.
Even without the perception bonus of the Star Hourglass, she was able to see everything without hindrance.
Although, which ones are superfluous and which are traps, she has no way to see them.
"What the hell was this stone bell before?" Diana shook her head, and after a high concentration of "disintegrating" breathing, her head was a little dizzy.
After a few moments, though, she relented.
"Is it an eternal-level vessel?" She has a special name for time-like things, and she doesn't like to name them by the level of the weapon.
In fact, if you are at the eternal level, it is equivalent to the level of an artifact.
"Such a powerful thing." Diana muttered, "It's annoying, just let Kaya eat them all........ Wait a minute! ”
Diana's eyes lit up.
"I, can I eat these pieces?"
As a type of existence where the body moves faster than the brain, Diana's mobility is extremely high.
After less than a moment's hesitation, she grabbed several fragments of stone and earth with the breath of time on her claws.
Then, swallow it in one bite!
"Doesn't taste good?"
I thought it would smell of earth, but it tasted much better than I expected.
Then, it didn't take long for all the things that contained the breath of time here to be eaten clean by her.
And so it was all over - there was no more hesitation, and there was not the slightest discomfort in the body afterwards, not even the slightest strange feeling.
"It tastes good when you eat earth?"
After muttering this, Diana fell into a deep sleep.
