Volume 4 The Great Adventure Chapter 257 Dragon's Back
"Look, what's that?" Crane's eyes were the best. Amidst the countless ruins and dilapidated buildings of Iron Flame City, he quickly found the source of the sound!
"How is that possible?"
"Won't it?"
"What's that?"
Except for Crane, who had already looked stupid, the other three couldn't believe the rhetorical question.
It turned out to be an earthly dragon standing on a stone roof, about a foot tall!
Since it was dozens of miles away before, it was impossible for either Shenxing Wuji or Crane to see this kind of wurm species, which was much smaller than a normal dragon, let alone hear a roar. But now, several people are already outside the city, and after the roar just now, they all used the polar eye technique for safety, and they saw a rough idea. Combined with the unique roar, it is not difficult for a few people who have already learned a little to judge that it is an earth-walking dragon.
But because of the judgment, several people felt strange. In addition to the powerful dragon races that are high above the world and basically have the strength of the Extreme Realm when they become adults, there are also a large number of wurm races with different races and uneven strength. Some of them are only comparable to third- and fourth-level demonic beasts, some are comparable to middle-level demonic beasts, and a small number of special wulongs are no less powerful than giant dragons. But even these wurm races generally rarely appear, because of the rise of the so-called "dragon knights" back then, humans arrested too many wurm races, so that they are still either in the deep mountains and old forests, or in the gathering places of the races. And this place used to be the territory of the dwarves, even if the tribe migrated, it was impossible to move to this place?
"How can this be? Iron Flame City is already a dead city. What do these earthly dragons live on? They can't be stones, right?" Yanagawa Huanyue was the first to ask this question. She really couldn't figure out how so many carnivorous demonic beasts could suddenly appear in this city that seemed to be only stones? Yes, there were dozens of Earth-Walking Dragons that could be observed in the eyes of a few people now, not to mention that many of them could not be seen, or were in other places.
In this way, how dare he and the others enter Tieyan City.
"Could it be that God ... Su Liuyun actually knew that he didn't want to come because he knew it a long time ago?" With a black face, Liu Chuan Huanyue also had an indescribable idea in his heart at this time.
Shaking his head, Huangfu Linglong defended him and said: "No, no matter how strong the strength of Shenxing Wuji is, it is absolutely impossible to see an Earth Walking Dragon from fifty miles away! This should just be a coincidence." It's just that as soon as she said this, Crane's face changed again. Before, he had doubts about Su Liuyun's identity, but now he no longer has any doubts, it is indeed the one from the Shenxing family.
"Then what should we do? Are we still going into the city? If Shenxing Wuji didn't mean it, then we won't be said anything if we go back like this!" Seeing that he was about to open the skylight and say something bright, Yanagawa Huanyue didn't care about anything, and he felt that he would not be ridiculed if he went back like this.
"No, how can we just go back like this? Our mission on this trip is to find out the real cause of the loss of Iron Flame City, and second, to find a new gathering place for the dwarves. Do you dare to say that you know how Tieyan City was lost now?" Of course Crane was unwilling? Even if that person wouldn't ridicule him when he went back now, what had become of him in Yu Huan's eyes? Even if he fought for a breath, he couldn't just go back.
Ay... Seeing that Crane was almost red-eyed, Chai Zhiling certainly knew what was going on, love made people dizzy. But if it's yourself, I'm afraid you won't have the face to go back like this, especially before you came out, you swore that you would definitely find clues in three days.
"Well, Crane has a point. We have a hard time grabbing this task, and there is no reason why we should not do it well! There are only dozens of earthly dragons, and it is not enough for us to be afraid. Let's just be careful. It's just that the question Huanyue just raised is indeed a problem, those earth-walking dragons are not grass-eating, how did they survive to help us understand the secrets behind this city? Could it be that Tieyan City has its own ecology that can feed these earth-walking dragons? impossible!" Shaking his head, Chai Zhiling directly rejected this idea, Tieyan City is full of stone buildings, although so many years have passed, many abandoned places here have grown towering trees, but the whole city is still mostly stone, it is impossible to raise a large number of demonic beasts for those earth-walking dragons to prey, and even why do those earth-walking dragons gather in one place? What is the reason? Could it be that someone is raising it? Can't solve this mystery? How can the mystery of Tieyan City be solved? For no reason, Chai Zhiling felt in his heart that there was an indescribable relationship between the two.
"Everyone said, when did Tieyan City really decline?" As for this statement, Middle Earth has never been unified, even now! Some people say it was a thousand years ago, some people say it was three hundred years ago at most, and some people say it was a matter of the last few decades? But according to the news that Tiangong City has a ghostly fire, the three-hundred-year statement should be the most reliable.
Three hundred years, then everything here shouldn't be like this!
Chai Zhiling, even if he was ignorant, would not think that in three hundred years, he could only turn Tieyan City into this. He had seen a city that had been abandoned for decades. Once left uncared for, decades will soon turn into a forest or a shrub unless it is a place where there is no grass! And here, apart from the many large trees that grow like dragons on buildings that are not suitable for destruction and close to rest, half-sized trees or bushes are rarely seen, at least not outside the city.
With a strange mood, Chai Zhiling still felt that he could only know when he entered: "Let's go, let's go to the city first, the truth should be in the city, I can't say what we can find when we go to the palace!" Tieyan City's single-wall hanging platform, he had heard that the single-wall hanging platform was not naturally formed, but was built by countless dwarves, so even if many buildings in the city were damaged, the single-wall hanging platform did not show any signs of damage or damage. Standing on it can not only see the entire Iron Flame City, but also the river valley outside the city. As long as you and others go there, will it soon be clear what is going on in this city?
So, a few people didn't care about the sudden roar of the Earth Dragon, they chose to step up and enter the city!
It's just that when he stepped on the gravel of the city gate, a ridiculous thought appeared in Chai Zhiling's head.
This... This city gate really doesn't look like it was attacked by a giant dragon, but it looks like it was fought in battle! Excluding humans, excluding the guards of the Great Wall, excluding the rebellion of demonic beasts, what happened three hundred years ago! Could it be that the dwarves were killing each other? Or was the murderer this group of earth-walking dragons? No, it was impossible, the strength of an earth-walking dragon was actually not much stronger than that of an adult dwarf, and hundreds of thousands of earth-walking dragons were attacking the city? No matter how you look at it, it is also a joke.
Shaking his head, Chai Zhiling didn't think much about it, he decided to speak with facts. Jumping towards the city wall and standing next to the mechanism that operated the Broken Dragon Stone, Chai Zhiling felt more and more that the rumors in the world were wrong, because he clearly saw that the iron cable of the Broken Dragon Stone had been cut by someone. That can only show that there was once a large army approaching, and the city defenders had no time to twist the chains normally, so they had no choice but to cut the rope and put down the broken dragon stone to block the enemy. But it's a pity that even so, the Broken Dragon Stone still failed to keep the city gate.
But if this is the case, another question arises. If it was true that there was a mysterious army suddenly attacking three hundred years ago, then for so many years, it is impossible for only myself and others to come, not to mention foreign races, even the guards of the Great Wall must have sent people to investigate several times, and the adventurers of Middle-earth have come in groups, not for anything else, but for the dwarven treasures in the palace and the weapons of the dwarven race. But in this case, the rumors are still rumors, and the facts have not changed?
A chill suddenly spread throughout Chai Zhiling's body, and he looked at the unattainable one-walled hanging platform and was speechless for a moment, as if as soon as he entered Tieyan City, he had entered a ghost.
"Captain?"
"Captain?" Chai Zhiling finally came back to his senses when Crane and Huangfu Linglong were both shouting. It's just that his face is pale and white! His head was very messy just now, but in the moment he was sober, he was very sure that there should be something he didn't know that had not happened, and once it happened, it would definitely be a catastrophe. It's not that no one has discovered these problems before, but they have found them, but they can't bring the answers back!
Chai Zhiling wanted to speak, but suddenly, he felt that his mouth was dry, he licked his mouth, and he said a little nervously: "Everyone, I just thought of some bad possibilities, I think, let's quit first and then think about it in the long run!"
Crane, Huangfu Linglong, and Yanagawa Huanyue were all surprised. Crane, in particular, was the second man on the team, and he had a lot of say at this time.
"Captain, what nonsense are you talking about? It's all in the city, and nothing has happened? Why do you want to retreat!"
But just as this sentence was finished, a series of wails appeared...
The sound came violently, resounding through the sky, although it was not loud enough to reach here. But this sudden and terrible wail frightened everyone, and even made Chai Zhiling creepy. He looked at it, but was blocked by the building. Without any extra thought, Chai Zhiling ran to the highest place on this section of the city wall where the flag seemed to be planted.
It's the group of dragons, but, what makes people's hearts uneasy, this hissing is getting more and more abnormal, as if it is, as if it is in danger, and it is a wail that is powerless to resist!
Chai Zhiling, who was under the Extreme Eye Technique, was really pale at the moment. Because just now, he urged the Polar Eye Technique with all his might, and he saw the truth of the matter more clearly.
One after another dragon heads popping up on the city's buildings fell, and you can imagine that there was definitely a battle over there...
No, it should be a massacre!
Although his eyes were very painful, Chai Zhiling didn't dare to withdraw the input of spiritual power at this moment, although seeing was believing, but Chai Zhiling couldn't believe his eyes at this moment!
He clearly saw a black mist, strangely circulating among the earth-walking dragons, and everywhere they passed, the earth-walking dragons were chaotic, all kinds of rampage, hissing and roaring, but it was useless. The black fog passed, and only the white bones remained!
"Run... Run... His voice was trembling, and Chai Zhiling could barely control his heartbeat. What is that? It's definitely not a monster, and it's not a spirit. Is this a ghost, or is there a demon? What the hell is that?
As if sensing something and looking at himself again, the black mist suddenly shook after destroying hundreds of Earth Walking Dragons, and then suddenly divided into hundreds of small black mist, and shot towards the city gate at once. This time, the frightened Chai Zhi made his soul fly away!
"Run!"
