Chapter 66: A Trip to Dragon Island II
When the sun appeared in the sky, and the heat wave in the desert was surging like a tide, a sand dune appeared in front of Ye Qi - the reason why it is said to be one is because this sand dune is lonely in the desert, and there is no existence in front of or around.
Of course, what caught Ye Qi's attention even more was the fluctuation coming from inside the sand dune.
Because of this fluctuation, the sand dune was not swallowed up by the flying sand.
Ye Qi looked at the bronze dragonborn girl with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and the latter nodded affirmatively-
"This is it, follow me!"
As she spoke, the bronze dragonborn girl leaped down from the sky and walked straight towards the dunes; Ye Qi followed, and as he got closer and closer to the sand dune, Ye Qi finally noticed other differences in this sand dune, except for the characteristic fluctuations.
"This must be a ruin, right?"
Ye Qi looked around a little more, and when his eyes touched the rock that was different from the sand, he finally asked the bronze dragonborn girl.
"Well, a relic from the end of the Dark Ages - it was supposed to be a wizard's laboratory, but when I found it, it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was nothing of value, but ......" the bronze dragonborn girl nodded, and then, on her delicate face, a smile of interest appeared, "There's something very nice in there!" ”
"Very nice stuff?"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then, following the bronze dragonborn girl, continued to walk inward.
Click, boom......
As the bronze dragonborn girl writhed in the sand, the sound of a machine spring rang out. Then. The sand dunes in front of him began to sink slowly. A staircase descended to the descent.
"Let's go here!"
The bronze dragonborn girl beckoned to Ye Qi, and then, the first to walk in, Ye Qi did not stop to follow, this staircase to the bottom of the road is very long, about dozens of yards later, the temperature on the surface can no longer be mapped, and the temperature has returned to a normal level. Even slightly cool.
However, after walking for more than ten yards, this coolness was replaced by warmth.
And when Ye Qi saw the steaming pool at the end of the stairs, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Hot springs?!" ”
"Well, it's a hot spring! Pretty good stuff, right? ”
The bronze dragonborn girl laughed like a child showing off a toy.
"That's a pretty nice thing!"
Ye Qi nodded very seriously - this is not perfunctory, but realistic; After a long period of training, Ye Qi has a soft spot for hot springs that can quickly recover his strength, energy, and relieve fatigue, especially after a day of training, the feeling of warmth. It's definitely a part of Ye Qi's memory that can't be forgotten.
Of course, if there is no one around who drinks to the point of getting drunk. That's even better.
"This is your ...... Domicile? ”
Ye Qi withdrew his gaze from the hot springs, looked around, and then asked in a more reluctant tone - in fact, for a demon hunter, the requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation are not high, but after seeing the residence of the bronze dragon girl, even Ye Qi, who is a demon hunter, is ashamed of himself.
Aside from the resembling hanger made of two dead trees, there is a pile of hay called a 'bed'.
And some rotten wood, in the corner, it is obvious that these items that were once the last wizard of the Dark Ages have been of no use in the slightest, but unfortunately they have long been of no use under the corrosion of time.
"This is it!"
The bronze dragonborn girl replied without replying.
She stood on a wall, tapping carefully, it took several minutes, and she found nothing, so Ye Qi shrugged her shoulders helplessly, walked to her, pointed to an area and said, "If it's the face anchor, it should be here!" ”
"I, I know the way, it's just to test you...... No, is immortality powerful? ”
The bronze dragonborn girl's face was flushed, and her tone was stammering a little, and then, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, looked at Ye Qi viciously.
Ye Qi wisely closed his mouth, took a step back, and raised his hands.
For women, and even any female existence, Ye Qi has already understood how to get along with each other, and the first point is that when should he shut up - when? This includes, but is not limited to, when it is vexatious.
"Humph!"
The bronze dragonborn girl snorted softly, like a victor, tapping within the range Ye Qi pointed out, and when there was an empty sound of 'pop', she clapped her palms and cheered, "Found it!" ”
A palm-sized, crystal-like thing the size of a palm appeared in her hand, no different from any other dimensional anchor.
"Let's go now?"
Ye Qi looked at the bronze dragonborn girl who took out the plane anchor and asked.
"No, no, we need to change our clothes - if we go back like this, we'll be the first thing to look at!" The bronze dragonborn girl said, and then added, "No matter where it is!" ”
"No problem!"
Ye Qi nodded very dryly.
Of course, he had nothing to object to such a proposal, after all, everything on Dragon Island was unfamiliar to him, even if the purpose of his trip was to kill the Red Dragon King, he needed some cover-up in order to blend in, to know his other purpose, but to explore how the Red Dragon King found the secrets of the plane in the astral plane.
And when listening to the news, it is natural that the other party needs to be vigilant!
As for direct questioning?
When there is no real understanding of the situation of the Dragon King and Dragon Island, this is undoubtedly a good idea.
……
For about half an hour, Ye Qi looked down at the cloak in his hand, but more like sack-like clothing, his brow furrowed slightly, he looked for the right adjective, and only said after a few seconds: "Is the textile industry in Dragon Island not even as good as that of Lorant thousands of years ago?" Slaves in the Dark Ages would wear such clothes, right? ”
"Everything in Dragon Island is based on combat, everything else is only auxiliary - there will be some privileges at the top!"
I don't mind putting on a sack-like cloak. The Bronze Dragonborn Maiden explained.
"Privileges. There is no exemption anywhere! ”
Ye Qi put away his apostle trench coat. While wearing such clothes, he said-fortunately, although such clothes made Ye Qi feel very awkward, they were extremely simple to wear; In fact, as long as you know how to put on a sack, you will wear it.
To put it simply, just stick your head in and then. Just straighten it towards your waist.
"Not bad!"
The bronze dragonborn girl looked at Ye Qi, who was dressed, and commented like this.
"Even if you say that, I can't be happy...... Will we be able to go? ”
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and asked.
"Of course!"
The bronze draco-girl replied.
The use of the plane anchor is similar to that of the teleportation array, but the shock is much greater, one is like a car running in the wilderness, and the other is that the brakes of the Mercedes car have failed, and it has begun to roll and collide rapidly—fortunately, after entering the immortal, such an effect is for Ye Qi. It had been cut down to an extremely small point where he could easily deal with it.
And precisely because of this. He was able to grab the bronze dragonborn girl before she fell into the water, and carried both of them into the air.
"I bet it wasn't sea water before!"
Ye Qi, who was floating in mid-air, let go of the arm that was holding the bronze dragonborn girl, and after letting the other party stand up with his own strength, he shrugged his shoulders and looked around—the endless sea water, turning up layers of thin waves in the wind, and white waves rolling somewhere, proving that there was a huge reef below.
And the bronze dragonborn girl looked around with an ugly face.
"Damn Resadid, he ruined the entire Upper Island!"
After a while, the angry shouts of the bronze dragonborn girl rang out, and the obvious resentment made Ye Qi's eyes narrow—the place where the plane anchor appeared and left, once fixed, could not be changed at all; That is to say, if you are fixed on a piece of land, then the position where you appear is a piece of land, and if you are fixed on a cliff, that is a cliff, even if this land and cliff have changed because of the vicissitudes of life, but your position will still not change.
Therefore, the shuttle of the plane anchor is far less secure than the teleportation array.
However, the scene in front of me certainly did not change because of the change of time!
"Was this an island?"
Ye Qi looked at the places where there might be reefs and asked—it was clear that the reef in his eyes should be the cornerstone of the island.
"Well, Dragon Island is composed of one large, five small and six islands, except for the central island, which is located in the center, according to the location, it is divided into the upper island, the left island, the right island, the lower left island, and the right island; And my home should be on the island above! The bronze dragon girl nodded and replied, but the gloom on her face became more and more heavy, and it was obvious that she had thought of something that was not very good.
And Ye Qi also guessed - since that Ressadid was able to destroy one of the upper islands, then the other four would naturally be no exception.
"I think it's better not to jump to conclusions until we see the facts!" Ye Qi comforted the bronze dragonborn girl in his own way - for a dragonborn whose hometown was destroyed, it was obviously not suitable to dwell on the original problem, Ye Qi said: "Moreover, the way Dragon Island is named is really simple!" And, apart from these six islands, is there nothing else? ”
"There are some smaller islands, but none of them can be inhabited on a large scale, and basically no one lives there!" The Bronze Dragonborn Maiden was obviously distracted and continued to explain, "In fact, except for the Central Island, the rest of the Wufang Islands are only small-scale residences, and if the number of people exceeds a hundred, it will be overloaded, neither fresh water nor food can keep up, and the Central Island is enough to accommodate 100,000 people!" ”
"One hundred thousand?!"
Ye Qi was stunned, obviously shocked by this number - although a complete, ideal half-plane, the population capacity is about two million, but this is only in an ideal state, and the Dragon Island in the sea is obviously not up to such a level, according to the previous remnants of the reef as a reference, Ye Qi estimates that it can accommodate thousands of people here is a limit.
Of course, this reference is also based on the number of Dragonborns on Dragon Island.
That Resadid numbered about two hundred, and the rebels were apparently about the same number. And. It should be less.
Besides, the old wizard used to say it before. There should have been more than a thousand Dragonborns on Dragon Island, but when his teacher fled, he killed half of them, or even a little more; Therefore, Ye Qi guessed that Dragon Island should be an island that can accommodate thousands of people.
However, at this moment, the number of red bronze dragonborn girls reported. Apparently beyond imagination.
"How many Dragonborns were there?"
Ye Qi asked subconsciously.
"At its most prosperous, it is recorded that there were nearly 10,000 dragonborns, but ...... War is the worst enemy of the population! ”
The bronze dragon-descendant girl said with a gloomy expression.
"Nearly 10,000 dragonborn? It's all in ...... Died in the Civil War? ”
Ye Qi muttered in a low voice, and then, looking for a more appropriate word, asked-the reason why his teacher would leave Dragon Island was because the endless war made people feel bored and helpless, and in the end, he chose to leave.
"No, the outbreak of the civil war was almost a hundred years ago. And the Dragonborn left in large numbers, but at the end of the Dark Ages! ”
The bronze bronzed brood-girl shook her head.
"They're involved in the wizards' wars?"
Ye Qi was stunned. Subconsciously thought of this result - obviously, apart from the war a thousand years ago, he really couldn't think of anything else that could drastically reduce the number of dragonborns; After all, compared to ordinary humans, the dragonborn are undoubtedly blessed, some second and third generations of dragonborns are born with a solar power, and some special direct dragonborns are even more legendary from birth.
For example: Time Dragon.
"I don't know what to do! What happened at that time was not recorded, but it is known that many Dragonborn chose to leave at that time because they heard the call of their parents and relatives! ”
Although the bronze dragonborn girl was recounting such a thing, her brow furrowed—it was obvious that she was also quite puzzled by such a thing; However, a thousand years is enough time to bury everything, and even if she is puzzled, she cannot give a real answer.
It's the same with Ye Qi.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Ye Qi put this incomprehensible question aside for the time being, and said to the Bronze Dragonborn Girl: "I think we should now look for some of those forces that are against that Ressadid, or, probe, there are a few remaining Wufang Islands except for the upper islands!" Perhaps, those who rebel are on these islands! ”
Ye Qi said this, of course, not in words, but with a considerable basis - judging from the fact that Resadid is known as the Red Dragon King and can send corresponding men to Lolante, the other party undoubtedly has an advantage, and those who resist are at a disadvantage.
And at such a disadvantage, a slightly smarter leader will not choose to fight hard.
Therefore, it has become an inevitable choice to scatter and stick to one place.
According to the topography of Dragon Island surrounded by the sea, although the central island is very large, it is far less easy to hold on to than Wufang Island - in fact, Ye Qi guessed that the reason why the upper island was destroyed was probably because the Resadid cut off the back path of the rebels, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
However, in the same way, the scarce resources of Wufang Island are enough for the few rebels to survive.
Thus, the battle turned into a protracted tug-of-war.
However, because Dragon Island is not stable, Resadid is obviously unwilling to drag it out any longer, so he will send people to Lorante to find a way back.
Of course, these are just Ye Qi's own guesses, and what exactly it is, only those who know it need to find something that can be understood.
After that, about six hours of flight.
The face of the bronze dragonborn girl became more and more gloomy, in addition to the fatigue, but also because the right island, the lower right island, and the lower left island all had only some reef foundations left, and the original island was treated the same as the upper island.
"I think we need to take a break!"
After flying again for more than ten minutes, sensing the weakening aura of the girl belonging to the Red Bronze Dragonborne, Ye Qi said.
"No, I can still hold on!"
The bronze dragonborn girl shook her head stubbornly, gritting her teeth and holding on; Although Ye Qi admires a strong dragonborn very much, it does not mean that he will ignore the other party's situation and let it go.
Stretching out his arm and easily grabbing the arm of the bronze dragonborn girl, Ye Qi shook his head and said, "Take a break, believe me - the rest at this moment is to devote yourself to it in a better state in the next moment!" ”
Persuasion, it was more the strength on Ye Qi's arm that made the bronze dragonborn girl unable to move, and the latter wisely chose Ye Qi's suggestion.
It's just that there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Ye Qi.
"I don't have any ill will!"
After a full ten minutes, after the aura of the Bronze Dragonborn Girl returned to normal, Ye Qi let go of his arm.
"Isn't immortality great? Is it possible to impose one's will on someone else? ”
The bronze dragonborn girl pretended to be vicious and said fiercely.
"It's just your understanding!" Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, and then, turned his head to look into the distance, pointed there, and said, "I feel some special fluctuations there—similar to stance defense, I think if we continue to move forward, we will definitely have quite a good harvest!" ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
After hearing Ye Qi's words, the Bronze Dragonborn Girl quickly rushed there, ignoring Ye Qi at all.
"Because, I told you earlier, how can I get out now?"
Ye Qi whispered with a smile, and then quickly chased after him.
