Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_Chapter 199, The Dragon Once Upon a Time
The camp of the Wicans was more like a huge primitive tribe, and we were brought to the strange old man in a hexagonal tent made of twigs and beast bones, and we were brought to the strange old man with vines tied to our hands.
In the dim but spacious tent, I saw the strange old man sitting on a huge chair with a matching face, his eyes half-closed. It was only after hearing the sound that he opened his eyes, and it was obvious that he was pale, and his bloodshot eyes were visible.
It looks like he was injured when he was fighting the Giant King.
"Oh? It's you again, human. He whispered.
I loosened my shoulders and said, "It looks like this war has exhausted you, old man. ”
For my disrespectful salutation, the surrounding witch clan immediately burst into a low snort, and the strange old man supported his chin with his hands, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "What do you want to do?" Go ahead. ”
"The leader of the Giant Clan invited me to kill you, bring back your head, and I can get a treasure of the Black Dragon Treasury that he gifted, as well as a chance to leave the land surrounded by this enchantment." As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the witches in the tent immediately changed greatly, and a few of them directly pulled out their weapons, and the killing intent was like a sharp needle piercing my face.
"You want to kill me?" The strange old man's cloudy and tired eyes still had an astonishing glint of sharpness.
"Hehe, if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have walked in generously, let alone told you in front of you." I smiled and replied, "I'm not comfortable with the Giants, to be exact, I don't trust the big guys, but if you can offer better terms, I can take you to the core of the Giants, and give you a chance to defeat the Giants once and for all, and end this great war!" ”
There was silence in the tent, and after a moment the circle of witches around me burst into laughter, laughing at me because it seemed to them that my cowhide was too big and too bad.
"Why, don't you believe me?" My eyes swept over the Wu clan present and asked coldly.
"You said you could take me to the heart of the giants, and then give me a chance to end this war with a single sword, ridiculous, how can you guarantee it? And why did you bring me into the land of the giants? The strange old man also showed a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, but he still asked me.
"The real leader of the Giant Clan is not the big guy who is more than four meters tall and negotiates with you, but a stone puppet!" After these words were spoken, all the witches except for the strange old man burst into laughter again, but the strange old man's face had sunk, and there was no contempt in his expression. I noticed the change in his expression and continued, "That stone puppet can open the exit of this enchantment, and it can also open the treasure house of the Black Dragon Clan, I don't know where it came from, but I think you should know about the existence of this stone puppet. ”
In the midst of laughter, I was calm and composed.
At this moment, the strange old man of the Wu clan suddenly raised his hand, and all laughter disappeared the moment he raised his hand. He looked at me with a cold face and said, "Did you really see that stone puppet?" ”
I nodded firmly, and the strange old man swept his gaze over the people present and said, "All of you go out." ”
This order surprised all the witches present, and let three enemies who threatened to kill him in the tent, but let them out, this scene made everyone unresponsive.
"Didn't you hear my orders? I'll let you all out! After the strange old man repeated the command for the second time, the witch clan in the tent walked out one after another.
Only the two of us and the old man of the witch clan on the other side were left. He still supported his chin with his hands, but the fatigue in his expression disappeared, and his eyes seemed to light up.
"Tell me about your plans."
"My plan is very simple, pretend to capture you alive, take you through the main gate into the giant camp of the giant clan, I believe you should have some big killing weapons in your hands, and when you see the stone puppet and use the big killing weapon to destroy it, the giants will definitely be in chaos after they lose their minds, at that time, the Wu clan you are waiting outside will attack, and the giants will definitely be defeated and retreated. It is not a problem to gain the world. "My plan is very simple, and I can make it clear in three sentences.
The strange old man sneered and said: "The whole crude plan, if I don't have a big killing weapon, or if I don't kill the stone puppet, won't I lose everything, how can you be sure that I am willing to take such a terrible risk?" ”
"Because in my opinion, you simply can't win this war. If you don't accept my crude plan, then you won't even have the slightest chance of winning. "I'm not alarmist, and I do.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The advantage of your Wu clan is that each Wu clan will have some spells that are not on the table in my eyes, but in a one-on-one situation, your Wu clan can't win the giants at all, but fortunately, you have a large number of people, because you can barely maintain your undefeated. But don't forget, there is a whole black dragon treasure trove over there, so take out one of them and try to kill you, isn't it like playing? ”
"It can't take out the treasures of the black dragon." I was only halfway through my sentence, but I heard the strange old man say this, and I frowned strangely and asked, "Why?" ”
"It seems that the stone puppet hasn't told you a lot of things, so it's okay, for the sake of you being willing to join forces with me. I can tell you that there is also a great connection between the stone puppet you saw and me, we used to be friends. The strange old man of the witch clan spoke slowly, and I seemed to be aware that I was about to know the secrets that many stone puppets would not tell me.
"You mean, he used to be a witch too?" The fat man asked in surprise.
"No, he's not a witch, and neither am I. Of course, none of us are giants, let alone humans. "This shocked me, these two leaders are neither giants nor witches, so how can they control the two clans to fight you to the death.
"We used to be dragon ......"
It's like someone put a bomb in my ear, and now it's finally exploded!
We didn't say a word, because we were so surprised to hear the news!
"Dragons? You used to be dragons? It took me a long time to come back to my senses and ask in surprise.
"Yes, you don't need to compare, it's a dragon that can fly and make clouds and rain. We used to be the Black Dragons, and we were the last generation of the Black Dragons. The strange old man pulled down his collar as he spoke, and in the firelight, some black-like scales could be seen on his neck, reflecting a strange light, but it proved his identity!
"But I didn't feel any dragon energy in you, nor did I feel demon energy. And, you might as well say, after all, dragons can change into human form. But the giants are just a stone puppet! Still a little incredulous, I asked.
"It's a long story and it's old. But it's the reason for our fight, and the reason why this woodland is divided by enchantments. We were the last two dragons after the fall of the Black Dragons. Dragons have a long lifespan, but over time, even if they are powerful, we face threats. We begin to fail to adapt to the world, as if something is rejecting us. The ancestors who have lived in this vast land for thousands of years are beginning to die peacefully, and you will see many dragon bones in the woods with no obvious wounds. That's how they fell, and they never got back up again. Dragons are also unable to reproduce normally, and although they have given birth to many offspring as powerful as giants, they cannot be compared to real dragons after all. It was during such turbulent times that the two of us were born. Sadly, we were born at the end of the dragon's decay, and the world rejected us strongly. While the remaining dragons do their best to protect our two children, even the mighty dragons can't fight against nature. We were never able to get stronger, and it was difficult to even fly. And just when the dragons were at their most difficult, the appearance of one person completely shattered our last resistance. ”
"Alone?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, alone. It's a Taoist priest, at that time it was already the Qin and Han dynasties of your human world, and we also had visitors from humans, but we were very repulsive to you humans. But after the arrival of this Taoist priest, he brought a magical magic weapon, this magic weapon is a black seed, which can enhance the declining dragon qi, so as to revitalize our dragon clan, but he also made a lot of requests, and one of them is to bring one of his tribes into this land. The tribe he brought in was the Witch Clan......"
