The further he went, the smoother the pavement became, and a few bones were faintly exposed, or pebbles, or the shells of dragon eggs, but Groot didn't look closely, and he continued to walk forward

Around the corner, a withered dragonman corpse was discarded, and next to the corpse were a few unburned golden candles

Dark clouds hung overhead, and from time to time there was a roar

Turning to the left, it was another winding road, and a crooked-necked tree next to it seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the road ahead widened and began to become steeper

Groot looked up and saw a gray temple standing there, as if waiting for him, withered branches growing out of the crumbling ruins, growing, then aging, and finally dying, now only a pile of shriveled branches

"When the hell was this built?"

However, the door of the temple was closed, and the rusty door could not be pushed open at all, so he had to go around the road on the left, however, this side was the Longrao cemetery, a large, weathered tombstone that could not be read clearly, with seven crooked cypresses inserted in the ground, and weeds that had grown to waist-high

However, on the way to the top, stood a tall but old dragon warrior

Sensing someone intruding, the dragonman slowly stood up, stretched his tattered wings behind him, and pulled out the giant javelin on the ground, and said

"You can't get through here"

Groot asked as he slowly approached

"Is there any other way to get to the Ryoma Plains?"

The other party didn't seem to hear him, and repeated it again

"You can't get through here"

Raising his huge weapon, he swung it at Groot

He hurriedly dodged, and the spear landed, directly smashing a large hole

But Long Rao's movements were too clumsy, and Groot walked directly past him, and the other party didn't see the enemy, and sat down again

"This guy won't sit here all the time."

Groot continued to walk forward, only to find that the gate he had seen before was only the wall of the temple, and the real temple of the ancient dragon in front of him

The ground was littered with dried corpses, dressed in the same way as the dragonmen before them, and the wind was blowing tattered clothes and hunting

When he entered, he found that the stones under his feet were larger than his body, and he had to keep jumping up to climb them, and there were twenty-four stone stairs in total, and there were eight stone pillars on the front, but most of them were broken and damaged

A giant dragon is faintly carved on the stone pillar, and its jaw is covered with tentacles, which looks rather strange

The stone crevices in the doorway were full of weeds, and there should be no one here, but Groot still didn't dare to take it lightly

In the darkness, there was a sudden ethereal echo

“！”

Groot was startled and hurriedly hid behind the stone pillar, and several draconians in shabby clothes came over

"Echo Defense was activated just now, and that's where it was triggered."

The dragonman beside him replied

"That's right, these imperial trash, are they still coveting the bones of the Mother Dragon?"

Naru in the middle nodded and said

"Don't let anyone else destroy the remains of the Mother of Dragons, hurry back and check."

Groot listened and decided to go over and take a look

From their conversation, it is known that they are the last grave keepers of the Ryoma clan, and they live on the top of the mountain, and although there are only a few of them, there are only about a hundred people, but they are the only dragons with pure dragon mother blood

"Those Ryoma are simply a shame for our clan, they don't deserve the name Ryoma"

One of the women said

"These depraved things, willing to be trampled on, I would rather die than be a spare mount!"

The two beside her didn't say a word, listening to her complain

The buildings here, which are simply destroyed, are supposed to be the location of the final battle depicted in the painting, and there are huge gaps and charred burn marks everywhere

Groot suddenly noticed that there were more guards in front of him

"This is probably where the bones of the Mother of Dragons are."

At this time, the shouts of the tomb guards came from that room

"Come on, the Mother of Dragons has woken up!"

Almost all the grave keepers rushed in to catch a glimpse of the miracle, and dozens of people surrounded the entrance to the room

However, the Yin Beast behind Groot said

"Thank you, Groot, I can finally come back and have a look"

Yin Beast Road

"Take me down, they won't dare to hurt you"

The black, viscous monster bared itself and urged Groot to go down

Groot, however, asked

"What are you? Have you ever lived here before?"

Yin Beast Road

"Yes, I am the dragon mother who was killed, and now the royal family has cursed my soul, it is they who built the soul narrow, and sent them to create a new species, the dragon eagle, to trap me there forever"

Groot felt a little incredulous

"And the way you are, can they still recognize you?"

The Yin Beast hesitated

"What have I become now?"

Groot didn't dare to speak, but replied anyway

"The first time I saw you, I thought it was a black goat"

The Mother of Dragons smiled, a little sad

"Is it?

She continued

"I wanted to create a new race by myself, but in the end, I was killed by the child I raised, isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?"

Groot asked

"There's no way to get you back to the way you were before."

The Mother of Dragons replied

"My flesh has decayed, and there is no other way but to reforge it"

Groot was thoughtful

"It's a reforge of the flesh again, the wolf king has done this with me, but I'm not at the level enough now, I can't learn that skill, and the materials needed for recasting are unheard of, I'm sorry"

Mother of Dragons

"Let's leave it at that, I'll leave some of my power on your right hand, and you can use it if you urge my spell seal."

Groot watched as the Mother of Dragons' black body peeled off her body, and she walked wearily towards the temple, wanting to return to her former body, where only a white skeleton remained

Groot followed her, and her slimy body seemed to remember what she used to look like, and began to slowly change, her four tentacles turned into two pairs of wings, and her long head became the shape of a marlon with tentacles carved into a stone pillar

Sensing something, everyone looked back, first startled, and then knelt down

"You're finally back, Mother of Dragons, we've been waiting for a long time"

The Mother of Dragons replied

"Everything is a fateful arrangement, in the dark, this young man brought me back here again, and now, it's time to start again"

She slowly squirmed into the bones, looking very strange, and the other grave keepers stripped off their clothes and walked into the black mud, where they cut open their skin and let the cream flow

Groot suddenly felt that something was wrong

"What the hell are these people trying to do!?"
