Chapter 171: Quest Unlocked: Dragonborn
According to the records left by Ba Kazujo, there were originally a large number of primordial spirits manifested by the aura of mountains and rivers in the wilderness of Reina Province.
The power of these primordial spirits is weak, and the newly opened spirits are also quite ignorant, and they have been at peace with humans for a long time, and only the Xianfeng Temple built in the deep mountains has dealings with these primordial spirits.
After the Sakura Dragon fell to Ashina, in order to recover from its injuries, it assimilated with a huge cherry tree that grew on the highest peak of Ashina, and with the help of this cherry blossom tree, which was deeply rooted in the ground, it absorbed the power of the primordial spirit of Ashina Province.
Lu Xiao originally thought that these primordial spirits had already died, but now it seemed that it was not like that, they just changed their life forms and continued to exist.
When the Sakura Dragon absorbs the life force around it, it inevitably transmits the dragon cough to these primordial spirits that are gradually assimilated by the Sakura Dragon.
These primordial spirits were blessed with immortality in their assimilation with the Sakura Dragon...... Or rather, curses.
They suffer from the dragon's cough but cannot die, and as the Sakura Dragon uses more and more life force to heal and absorb, the primordial spirit's dragon cough becomes more and more severe.
Lu Xiao stayed away from this group of virus carriers who were coughing violently, and held the immortal slash in his hand with some hesitation, considering whether to give them a good time when they continued to suffer.
After the wooden dragons buried their bodies, Lu Xiao finally noticed the giant cherry blossom trees looming behind the clouds and mist in the distance.
The cherry blossom tree has a strange shape, with the lower half of the tree growing thick roots that sink into the clouds, and the upper half of which looks like some kind of woody strip-like creature.
"Is that Sakurayu?"
As if sensing the arrival of the invaders, the lignified dragon body began to tremble slightly, and the sky full of rich magic began to rain a large amount of golden thunder irregularly.
When the cherry blossom tree had a vision, all the Wood Dragons stopped coughing and bowed respectfully in the direction of the cherry blossom tree.
"Whoa!"
A strong wind erupted around the cherry blossom trees, and all the Wood Dragons dissipated into gray-white smoke and dust under the strong wind.
Lu Xiao was also swept into the air by the wind, and the magic floating cloak that he used to restore his magic power was suspended in mid-air, silently watching the part of the cherry blossom tree that gradually regained the texture of his flesh.
"Aang!"
The loud dragon roar resounded throughout the four fields, and a typical oriental dragon stretched its body from the cherry blossom tree, staring condescendingly at Lu Xiao floating in the air.
The lower body of the cherry dragon seemed to be unable to break away from the roots of the cherry blossom tree, and it did not soar in the sky like the giant dragon in Lu Xiao's impression, passing between thunder and clouds.
Sakura Dragon has only one single right arm, and the cut on the right arm can be clearly seen, and the only dragon claw holds a turquoise transparent seven knives, and powerful magic overflows from the blade.
Lu Xiao was vigilant in his hand, ready to activate the Eye of Agomoto and enter the battle state at any time.
But at this moment, Sakura Dragon, who had been staring at Lu Xiao all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Who are you, and why did you trespass into my place of cultivation?"
“…… Ha? ”
The words in Guanzhong made Lu Xiao not react for a while, he really couldn't understand this kind of old Qin dialect.
Seeing Lu Xiao's blank expression, Sakura Long continued to take care of himself: "Are you a resident of the land of Fusang, why do you have the blood breath of our dragon clan on you? ”
At this moment, the system also jumped out to make up for Lu Xiao's already drowsy brain.
"World Mission 3 unlocked."
"Mission: Dragonborn."
"The Chinese ethnic group to which the host belongs has been called the descendants of the dragon since ancient times, and the dragon is a mythical totem with a long history in Chinese civilization."
"Mission Requirements: Obtain Sakura Dragon Essence Blood."
"Reward: The basic reward is 10 free skill points, whether the task is completed or not will affect the final evaluation of the wolf world and additional rewards, please do what the host can."
Lu Xiao: "??? ”
"Dragonborn? Grab the root treasure? Duwakin? ”
It's not that Lu Xiao wants to raise the bar, when he hears this task term, the first thing that comes to mind is the dragon descendant in the old roll.
System: "No, although they are both dragonborn, their origins are very different, and there is no similarity in their manifestations. ”
"This task is difficult, please be mentally prepared for it."
Lu Xiao tugged at the corners of her mouth: "I guessed it a long time ago." ”
Ever since entering the Immortal Realm, the abnormal concentration of magic power around him had reminded Lu Xiao that the enemies here were completely different from those he had encountered in the wolf world before.
The normal wolf world is a low-demon world, although there is a concept of gods and ghosts, but the strength of these mountain spirits and wild monsters is not enough for Lu Xiao to deal with.
The rich magic power in Xianxiang far beyond the outside world means that there are extremely difficult enemies to deal with here, and even Lu Xiao, who has unlocked all the magic items, does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to defeat Sakura Dragon.
The dragon is a legendary creature of Chinese civilization and the most important totem of Chinese civilization.
The state of the cherry dragon looks very miserable, missing an arm, and it is fixed to the cherry blossom tree and cannot move, but once it fights, it is by no means comparable to the lion ape and the white snake god.
"Uh...... Dear Dragon. ”
Lu Xiao tried to communicate with Yinglong in the official dialect of Beizhili: "I am a citizen from the Ming Kingdom, my name is Lu Xiao, and the dialect you spoke just now...... I didn't get it. ”
Sakura Long's face was obviously stunned, it understood Lu Xiao's Chinese, and changed dialects according to his language habits: "Youzhou dialect? Are you from Fanyang? ”
"Hmmm......"
Lu Xiao rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, he felt that he was chatting with Sakura Long.
"Your Excellency Sakura Long, during your sleep and healing, the outside world has undergone hundreds of years of changes, the Tang Dynasty in your memory has long since perished, after the Song and Yuan dynasties, and now the land of China has been under the rule of the Ming Kingdom."
"Li Tang, is it perished?"
Yinglong sighed with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect that Li Tang, who came to the dynasty of all countries, also embarked on the road of decay and destruction, and the world is impermanent." ”
Sighing, Sakura's eyes regained sharpness: "You haven't answered my question yet, why did you trespass into my retreat?" What do you want from me? ”
Of course, it would be best if you could not fight, Lu Xiao put on a kind smile on his face: "Your Excellency Sakura Dragon, under the influence of the power of the dragon yin that you bestowed on the ancestors of the Shikami clan, a lot of distorted things have happened in the area of the Reed Country below the Source Palace. ”
"Jiulang, the son of the current dragon yin, wants to cut off the inheritance of the power of the dragon yin, so he entrusted me to come first to ask for your lord's tears."
Sakura Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly: "Cut off the power of Long Yin?" I see, did those greedy Sijia beauties finally reap the consequences? ”
Sakura Dragon didn't intend to answer Lu Xiao's doubts about the ancient history of Reed, it straightened its coiled body slightly, and the dragon's body began to exude a powerful momentum.
"How can I let you abandon my blessings at will, there is no innocent gift in the world, if you want to get my tears, use your strength to pass my trial!"
"Aren't you still going to fight after all......
Lu Xiao sighed helplessly, and immediately opened the Agamotto Eye hanging on his chest, and Sakura Long's movements paused slightly.
"The power of time, let me see how far you can go!"
