Chapter 3: The Land of the Burning River

In the distance, a thin layer of dust drifted over the collapsed ground that had not receded, like a girl to be married wearing a veil to hide shyness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAlthough the sound of fire insects crawling has disappeared, the silence and fear of the unknown have not disappeared.

Qingkong watched the fat boy who flew there disappear into horizontal sight, imagining that the front should have collapsed, and a trace of worry appeared in his heart. Could it be what's going on ahead of you? maybe...... What special creatures are there? Why else did the fat ones fly over inexplicably? If only they could have a fat vision at this time, they would be able to see what was waiting for them......

He turned his head to look at the scholar, whose expression was suspicious, but more cautious. He had already sensed that something was wrong when the group of flame insects crawled out, and the sudden flight of the fat one at this moment confirmed his conjecture.

"Follow me. The scholar took out his magic wand from his sleeve and recited the incantation, the staff flashed a faint green light to form a barrier in front of him, although he didn't know if the thin white ash inside was mixed with poisonous gas, but he was prepared. Then he walked slowly forward, and Sky and Deer followed him carefully.

They walked for a long time less than 100 meters, cautiously observing their surroundings, and with every step they took, they felt that the ground around them could collapse at any moment. As they reached the edge of the collapsed area, a heavy breath of fire rushed to their nostrils. Fortunately, hiding behind the green barrier of the university, they can only smell the smell, and the ethereal white ash cannot erode in.

Qingkong leaned over to the scholar and looked forward, and he couldn't help but take a light breath when he saw what he saw. In front of them, a red and yellow ravine appeared, as if it had been cut by a huge sword. However, the field of vision is limited, and the scene in front of him is blurry and fluctuating due to the heat coming from below, and it is impossible to see what else is below, let alone find where the fat is. I only felt that there were countless small black holes and thousands of holes all over it.

"Look, Brother Sora, Fat is there!" Lu'er shouted as she suddenly pointed to an area in the ravine.

But neither the sky nor the university scholars could see its location clearly, but the deer still pointed down with flashing green eyes.

"Her eyes?" Sky, wondered.

"Nature's eyes, they can see through the fog into the distance. This is not surprising to the Phantom Race who have been living in the Misty Forest. The scholar glanced at Lu'er, and then said, "Let's go down, Lu'er points in the direction and see what the little guy has found......

The way down was very difficult, although this "big scar" was not deep, but the place where they put their feet was soft limestone, and they could see clearly what this dense black hole was, it turned out to be the cave of the fire insect swarm that had just gushed outward. There are also some larvae that have not yet grown up and crawl around in it.

When they stepped underneath, there was a rush of heat from the soles of their feet. Qingkong felt strange, it felt like he had walked into a hot pot and let someone cook it.

"It seems that this was once a branch of the Yan River...... And it should have been a lot of fire not so long ago. The scholars looked to the sides and saw that in addition to where they were now, the two ends of the collapse were still red and yellow lava soil, and it was extremely bright, indicating that there must be a long way to go in this kind of soil that has been eroded by magma.

"A branch of the Yan River, aren't we in the Land of the Yan River?" There is a branch of the Yan River, there is one in the Dragon Valley, and there is one here, and this span is too large! But this place seems to have just dried up, and without their presence, it is estimated that no one will find this place in the rest of their lives.

Mu Yuan nodded, he didn't expect to enter the realm of Yanhe so quickly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered something, and he quickened his pace. A scream then reached the ears of the three people, and as soon as Qingkong heard it, he knew that it was a fat voice, so he also chased after him.

They had only run a few steps before they saw a fat figure in the haze, and beside it there was a large bulging "dirt bag", at least so Qingkong thought. Fat shook his head around the "dirt bag", as if waiting for their arrival.

What did it find? The doubts in Qingkong's mind were about to be solved, but so was the apprehension.

The scholar cautiously walked up to the "dirt bag" and noticed that the shape of the dirt bag was strange, and he walked around it, and suddenly his eyes widened.

Qingkong also found something, but the two of them tacitly agreed not to continue, because according to speculation, it was a huge corpse!

The scholar stretched out his magic wand, and a green light shot out. He moved his wand and swept the green light over the thin white ash that slowly faded from it like a swarm of frightened ants, revealing the corpses.

"It's ......" Qingkong's pupils dilated as a huge dragon skeleton revealed in front of them.

The spine of more than ten meters long stands like a hill, and only scattered keels are left on the wings on both sides, as if the wings were curled up before death. The massive skull was buried deep in front of him, and the dagger-length fangs seemed to be able to see a sharp light. If it weren't for the fact that there was only a bunch of dead shells left, then the idea of running might have been born in the sky, and the size of this giant dragon was several times smaller.

Lu'er's expression was even more frightened. She seemed to think of the blue dragon she had dodged with Sky in Dragon Valley. Cunning and treacherous, speed and power...... Everything persecuted them, and it was only by jumping off a cliff that they escaped from its palms.

Fat screamed incessantly, black smoke rose from his mouth, and flames could erupt at any moment, as if he was angry with the death of his kind.

"This is a flame dragon of the level above the withered dragon. The scholar regained his composure and said.

Sky was still watching it, guessing what kind of dragon it was. With such a huge dragon body, it must be above the level of a withered dragon. But why the Flame Dragon?

"Why did the scholars conclude that this was the bones of the Yanlong?" asked Qingkong.

The scholar bowed slightly, looked at an area of Yanlong, and said, "Remember what I just said that this was a branch of Yanhe not long ago?"

Both Qingkong and Shier nodded.

"That's right, but somehow it's depleted...... Huh?" said to him, "Could it be...... The depletion of the branches of the Yan River has something to do with this Yan Dragon?"

The scholar shook his head and stood up, "Whether the depletion of the Yanhe branch has anything to do with it is not certain. What I'm saying is that any creature that is corrupted by the flames of the river will have no bones left, and only a pile of ashes will remain. But...... Except for one species of dragon. ā€

"Yanlong ......" Qingkong finally understood why the university scholars concluded that this was Yanlong, so it was. If the dragon's keel can't resist the flames, then it is killing itself when it spits out the flames!

"It should be said that only the Flame Dragon," the scholar added, "other species of dragons are not immune to this situation." ā€

Qingkong looked at the Yanlong corpse at his feet again, and for some reason he always had a feeling that he couldn't speak.

"Yanlong...... Withered Dragon ...... Yanlong ...... Yan Long ...... "He remembered that Mu Tian told him in the Dragon Valley that day that Qingtian had been promoted to a Thunderer, and his dragon was a Yan Dragon, although he didn't say what level it was, but ...... Qingkong didn't dare to continue thinking about it, how could there be such a coincidence, besides, Qingyun City was thousands of miles away...... Qingkong froze, and he suddenly realized that Qingtian was not in Qingyun City after being snatched away......

"Brother Xiaokong, a university scholar, what is that?" Lu'er beside him pointed to the location of the Yanlong corpse near the heart.

Hearing this, Qingkong woke up from his trance and walked over with the university scholars.

When they came to the location of the heart, they immediately saw where the deer was pointing. Because among the many sternums there, there is one that is very special. Not to mention the bulge, and the luster is white and dazzling, and it is still reflected under the sun.

The scholar took a step forward and put his hand on it. As soon as he touched it, the university's face changed slightly, and he pulled it out violently, and it turned out that this "bone" was just deeply stuck in it.

After the scholar took it out, several people took a closer look, only to find that this was not the keel they thought was not the keel they thought at all, but a steel arrow made of ancient flame steel......
