Chapter 297: The Ring
In that cave, the dark red behemoth made Shen Liang and Situ Yan feel deeply shocked.
The body of the huge creature was seven or eight feet high, its thick and powerful limbs fell to the ground, its slender neck stretched straight, its strange head raised proudly, and a pair of wide fleshy wings stretched out vigorously, completely in a posture of wanting to flutter its wings and fly.
"Little brother, what do you call this thing?"
Shen Liang's eyes exuded a scorching light, and he said with a slight exclamation in his mouth, "This is the ninth-order demonic beast Red Flame Dragon!"
"Ninth Order Demonic Beast??? Red Flame Dragon?!!"
The old man was obviously taken aback, even though he had been here for more than twenty years, he had never known the identity of this giant thing.
Shen Liang took a deep breath and couldn't wait to step forward and reach out to touch it. The hard armor on the dragon's body was unusually strong, and deep lines were densely covered all over the body. Shen Liang reached out to touch it, and was shocked to find that the body of this long-dead dragon still exuded a faint heat.
Shen Liang stood at the feet of the Red Flame Dragon, looking very small, not as thick as one of the dragon's legs.
The old man stepped forward and smiled, "I'm surprised, right? I was just like you back then!"
"This dragon can't be fake, it may just be a stone sculpture!" Situ Yan said in disbelief.
The old man glanced back at her, and then said with a smile, "At that time, I also wondered how this dragon was hidden in this small cave with its size, and I once suspected that it was just a lifelike sculpture, but the old man, I studied it for several days, and I was sure that this dragon was a living creature." ”
"But how did it get into this cave?" Situ Yan asked with a frowning brow, puzzled.
"I don't know! I've been struggling with this for a long time, so much so that every time I see this dragon, I can't help but be curious!"
Shen Liang touched the dragon's thick legs, looked up at the ugly head, and then said with a solemn face, "This dragon is real, not a stone carving!"
"How do you know?" asked Situ Yan.
Shen Liang took a deep breath and said, "There is a faint fire magic element in the body of this dragon, although it has been a long time, the aura of that element is very weak, but it is real!"
"Then how do you explain how this dragon squeezed into this cave?" Situ Yan asked in confusion.
Shen Liang glanced back at her, then at the old man, and then said slowly, "There are two possibilities!, First, there may be some mechanism passage in this cave that leads directly to the outside world. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Old man, I have thought this before, but I have not found anything!"
Shen Liang said again, "There is another possibility, the reason why this dragon can stay here is very likely to be the masterpiece of the earth magician, and the rank of this magician is not low!"
"Earth-based magicians can mobilize earth-based magic elements between heaven and earth to create everything related to stone and soil out of thin air. Powerful earth mages can mobilize the rocks and clods that already exist around them at will. ”
"Hearing you say that, I finally understand, old man!"
"You mean, this cave is the work of that earth magician?" asked Situ Yan.
Shen Liang smiled lightly: "It's possible!"
In fact, there was another point that Shen Liang didn't say, and he didn't dare to think about it.
If the strength of this Red Flame Dragon reached the Holy Rank, it was possible to change the size of his body at will, and it would not be surprising to enter this small cave.
How difficult it is for demonic beasts to reach the holy level, and the effort they have to put in is much harder than that of humans. Therefore, Shen Liang didn't think about it either.
"Senior, oh yes! Haven't asked your seniors for their names?" Shen Liang said respectfully.
The old man's face showed a look of remembrance, and he sighed slightly, "Old man Zhong Yiwei!"
"The Zhong family ?!! the Zhong family more than three thousand years ago?" Shen Liang's face changed and he exclaimed.
The old man's face changed slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, this young man was completely beyond his expectations. It is inconceivable that this Shen Liang is so young, why he knows so many hidden things on the continent.
"Who are you, why do you know so much?" Zhong Yiwei's face was much gloomy, and his cloudy old eyes were also radiating a dangerous cold glow.
Shen Liang smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "The kid's name is Shen Liang, and he is just a down-and-out family child!"
"It's hard to convince the old man of your words!"
Shen Liang took a deep breath and said slowly with a calm expression, "Belief or disbelief is completely between Senior Zhong's thoughts, but what I said is indeed the truth!"
Zhong Yiwei looked at Shen Liang deeply for a few moments, then turned his head to look at Situ Yan, and said with a smile, "Is what he said true, little girl from the Ten Thousand Poison Gate?"
Hearing this, Situ Yan's face changed, and an incredible look appeared on her pretty face.
Seeing this, Zhong Yiwei laughed and sneered, "This bunch of weird things on your body, as well as the pair of Lost Boots that are only available in the Ten Thousand Poison Gate under your feet, have already betrayed you." ”
Situ Yan was stunned, and then looked down at the well-made boots under her feet with some annoyance.
"Ten Thousand Poisons Gate ?!!"
Shen Liang's complexion changed suddenly, he had naturally heard of this sect.
The Ten Thousand Poison Gate is one of the few hidden sects in the Moon Wheel country, good at poison, and the disciples in the door are also good and evil, it is said that its sect is located in the southern border of the Moon Wheel Country, but the specific location is little known.
Regarding Situ Yan's origin, Shen Liang also had some guesses, but he was never sure that she was really from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. At the moment, Shen Liang was quite surprised by this.
Zhong Yiwei looked at Situ Yan with a smile and said, "The strength of those heels behind you is not bad, presumably your status in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is not low, right?"
Situ Yan snorted lightly, turned her head away and ignored him, but the afterglow of those eyes swept vaguely towards Shen Liang's location from time to time.
Zhong Yiwei was not annoyed when he saw this, he just stroked his beard and smiled.
After a long time, Zhong Yiwei slowly put away his smile, looked at Shen Liang with a calm face, and asked lightly, "Boy, how much do you know about the Zhong family?"
Shen Liang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I only know that the Zhong family was short-lived more than three thousand years ago, and its strength was extremely powerful. In the end, it suddenly disappeared for some reason, and there has never been much record in history. ”
"I once saw an introduction to the Zhong family in a book, and it just said that the Zhong family was a demon family more than 3,000 years ago, and then there was no follow-up!"
Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Zhong Yiwei's face, and he didn't know why.
Seeing this, Shen Liang couldn't help asking, "Is Senior Zhong a descendant of the Zhong family?"
Zhong Yiwei glanced at him and said lightly, "No! This Zhong family is not the other Zhong family!"
Shen Liang took a deep breath and nodded involuntarily. He also felt that it was impossible to meet someone from his family without such a coincidence.
Shen Liang shook his head and smiled, he couldn't help but look around, looking at the pile of strange things covered with dust and cobwebs, Shen Liang stepped forward in surprise.
Zhong Yiwei frowned, but he didn't say anything to stop it.
When he came to the corner of the cave next to him, the strange things that Shen Liang looked at the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became. But these things have almost lost their due efficacy, and before Shen Liang could sigh, those dark eyes couldn't help but stay somewhere. And there happened to be a strange ring with a strange shape and rough workmanship in that place.
