"Thank you—thank you!" a faint soul voice came from the little beast.

The more high-blooded the demonic beasts, the more spiritually they are. This confirmed Layton's idea even more, the ghost-faced masked man must have wanted to tame the purple-gold-haired beast in front of him. As a result, he not only took the treasure of his old nest, but also let go of the demonic beast with such wisdom, I am afraid that he will spit out a mouthful of old blood if he knows it.

Layton smiled and nodded, and said to the little beast, "Get out of here quickly!"

One man and one beast crawled out of the big hole in the roof of the dungeon hall. When I came to the surface, I found that it was a dense forest.

The purple-gold-haired beast limped and ran deep into the woods, and before entering the woods, it stopped and looked back at Layton deeply, as if to say goodbye.

Layton looked at the departing figure of the little beast with a smile, beckoned, and said, "Let's go! ”

The little beast then leapt into the woods and disappeared.

Now Leighton was the only one left, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness for no reason. In case the Grimace Mask Man suddenly returns, he plans to leave here quickly.

Layton carefully identified the direction, guessed that he was now in the northern mountains, chose a direction facing south, and prepared to walk towards the village of Black Mountain.

A day later, Layton was agitated, and it turned out that he had been lost in the woods.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped, and found that not far away, a bird in the shape of a crow in the tree was staring at him with a human expression.

It's not that he hasn't seen a crow, it's just that he recognized it at first glance and it was definitely not a crow, and it was very different. What's more, in the past few days, I haven't seen a single living thing around, and a bird suddenly appears, which is very strange in itself.

The black bird was much larger in size, and its plumage was so black that it seemed to blend into the darkness. Hiding in the shadows of the trees, you can't find it if you don't look closely, and you're surrounded by a faint dark energy.

He also noticed that wherever he went, its gaze followed, staring at him with a human expression.

All this seemed too abnormal, he felt that the bird in front of him appeared very strangely, and he could vaguely feel a breath of the undead world from it.

Unable to stand being watched all the time, Layton picked up a rock and threw it to drive away. Unexpectedly, it deftly dodged over, showing a look of disdain in its expression.

He felt that he should not cause trouble, and he would hurry first. Ignore it and walk forward. After a while, when he looked back, he saw that the bird was still at a distance from him, as if it were haunted.

Layton inexplicably began to get irritable, as if there was a volcano lurking in his chest, trying to keep venting and killing everything in front of him.

A voice came from the back of his head, constantly bewitching, "Look! Layton, you're a weakling, and even a bird disdains you. You still want revenge, accept your fate!

"Damn, I won't accept my fate, I'm going to avenge my dead grandfather. Layton's eyes turned red, and his wheezing grew heavier.

Evil voices are still stirring, "Since you don't accept your fate, then destroy everything in front of you." Unleash all your power. ”

Layton grew delirious, his eyes red, and he raised his hand to cast a spell on the bird and shoot a fire bomb.

The branch where the black bird was located was instantly blown to pieces, and countless leaves flew and fell in the air.

Although the branches in front of him were destroyed, Layton's red eyes did not improve, but worsened.

However, just as Layton turned to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the bird was now resting on another branch intact. Just like at the beginning, he looked at him with a look of disdain.

The nameless fire that had risen out of nowhere, Layton burned, and a trace of black gas gradually appeared between his red eyes, filled with disregard and destruction of all life. Now all he wants is to completely destroy everything in front of him, as if this world should not exist.

In the illusion, he now felt that he was full of infinite magic power, and fired three Dark Fire Bombs in a row at the location of the bird, and a rumbling roar resounded in the dense forest.

This time, he looked closely at the site of the explosion, and once again there was no sign of the bird, but no remains were found.

Layton's eyes searched around, and sure enough, he found the figure of this black bird not far away, still unharmed, looking at him with playful eyes.

The anger in Layton's heart became more and more intense, and the black aura in his eyes became more and more intense. He lowered his head in pain and roared heartbreakingly.

"Roar—" a loud voice rang out, "Wake up quickly!"

At this time, in Layton's mind, a dragon-shaped figure appeared, shouting at him, it was the stone dragon predecessor of the day.

Layton was woken up, his eyes began to regain clarity, and he looked at the stone dragon that appeared in his mind, and was surprised: "Senior, you ....... You're not already dead, how can you end up in my mind?"

"On that day, I separated a wisp of soul and placed it in the heart of the Holy Dragon, specifically to prevent accidents. The Monument of the Dead is an evil thing in the world of the dead that contains the law of destroying all things, and those who are not strong in their hearts often become puppets of the Monument of the Dead. ”

"Senpai, I have a lot of doubts?" Layton asked confusedly.

Shi Long said slowly: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." I am the Illusory Sky Dragon, originally a lineage of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and I am responsible for protecting the continent. When I was young, I began to travel around the continent, and then a mysterious organization appeared and planned to capture me. When I woke up again, the dragon soul was trapped in the Soul Pillar, sealed in darkness forever, and endured by the sinister winds. ”

"I don't know how many years have passed during this period, and three old friends have been imprisoned one after another, they are the Frost Winged Silver Tiger, the Glass Purple Sparrow and the Five Elements Turtle. Like me, I also ended up with no physical body and soul sealed. In those dark days, it was because of our concerted efforts that we were able to get through those years of dissipation. ”

"Later, we learned that the mysterious organization deliberately put our souls in the place of the evil wind in order to better refine our souls and increase the power of the soul locking pillar. Finally, one day, the four soul pillars were taken out of the dark place, and the torture of our souls was lifted. It was the first time I saw the Monument of the Dead, and I still remember the monstrous destruction and disregard for life vividly. In an instant, I understood that the Undead Monument must not be placed in the Holy Dragon Continent, otherwise the Holy Dragon Continent would be destroyed, but I was powerless due to the Soul Locking Pillar. ”

"Senior, what about later?"

"Until your appearance gave me hope, although I don't know where your Holy Dragon Heart came from. However, the Heart of the Holy Dragon is an ancient covenant of the dragon clan, and it has always been given only to the guardians of the dragon clan. As long as you have the Heart of the Holy Dragon, you can ask the Dragons to complete anything. ”

"Could it be that my parents are dragon guardians?" Muttered Layton.

Suddenly, Canglong's soul body began to appear a little disordered.

"It's up to you to find the answers. My time is running out, and I will teach you the Heart Clearing Dragon Sutra, which is the supreme heart method of the dragon clan. It can help you hone your mind and resist the destruction of the Monument of the Dead, listen carefully. ”

The Illusory Sky Canglong engraved a supreme dragon heart sutra in the form of a soul inheritance, accompanied by golden runes, on Leighton's soul.

Soon, Layton comprehended the Heart Splitting Dragon Sutra, and after some practice, he found that his body and mind were indeed much clearer, and his eyes gradually recovered, and he no longer had those desires to destroy.

"Remember, you have to practice diligently. This time, I really want to say goodbye to this world forever, and I hope you can use the Holy Dragon's Heart well to guard the Monument of the Dead. Remember to be in the darkness and the heart is as holy as the light. The dragon gradually dissipated in Leighton's mind.

"Senpai?" called Layton.

There was no response this time.

"When you are in darkness, your heart is like a holy light. Layton closed his eyes and kept repeating, "Don't worry, senior, I won't let the Monument of the Dead cause trouble to the continent." ”

Leighton stood in the breeze, remembering the passing of the predecessor of the Phantom Sky Canglong. Gather your mind and continue to set off, the black birds on the branches always following closely. Since cultivating the Heart Clearing Dragon Sutra, his body and mind are clear, and he is no longer angry about it.

Layton knew that the black bird in front of him was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface, he could feel a trace of the undead aura contained in the other party's body, and now he wanted to see what this black bird wanted to do.
