Chapter 27: Betrayal and Protection
The Battle of Fulong, the earliest record that Feng Luo can see in books, is also a history that is relatively close to the facts.
The dragon slaughtered the city, and the humans fought back. The strength of the human race has far surpassed that of the dragon clan, and the twelve strong men who have reached the pulse of the whole continent have joined forces to fight against the last elite of the dragon clan, nine people have been killed, and three have been seriously injured.
Since then, human cultivation seems to have lost its foundation, and there are very few strong people with pulses. It is said that the great battle was so fierce that it almost shattered the heavens and the earth, and the true god had to intervene.
The dragons are not extinct, and it is recorded that the living dragons were introduced to the divine realm by the true gods. Whether there are still dragons on the mainland is controversial in the book, because there were dragon eggs left in the first place. In order to compete for dragon eggs, a human civil war broke out on the continent, and many countries were eventually formed.
Another controversial is the reason for the dragon's departure.
"You are already strong, and you don't need to be guarded!" is said to be the words of the true God to man. For this unbelievable remark, hundreds of historians have gone through historical sources and debated endlessly.
Does God really think that humans are too powerful to be guarded? Or do people slaughter their guardians and be angry with God as ungrateful? Or do dragons slaughter people and make God feel ashamed?
Now, all speculation can be over. The truth is always surprising, but it is reasonable.
The dragons are almost extinct, and the remaining dragons are hiding in more secluded places. There are several dragons who make an agreement with people to take what they need. In order to protect his son, Lao Long also traded with some people.
It was hard for Feng Luo to imagine that such a big dragon would have a human son. And this son, after being sheltered for more than ten years, grew up rapidly, and finally established a country and ruled the entire Burning Sun Continent!
The founding emperor of the Haori Empire turned out to be the son of the dragon! That is to say, the Luo family, the current ruler of the Haori Kingdom, is the descendant of the dragon.
"Descendants of the dragon?" Feng Luo muttered to himself. In the book, the dragon son and dragon grandson are called the royal family, I thought it was an honorific title, but I didn't expect it to be a real thing.
"That's nothing, young man. Actually, you also have the blood of a dragon, otherwise how can you withstand my cold. If it weren't for the fact that you are too different in nature from me, I would almost think that you were my offspring. The old dragon said, smiling bitterly.
The blood of the dragon is noble to say, and it is not mysterious to say it. At the beginning of the continent, there were no crystal beasts. Dragons are innate and intersect with beasts. While there are excellent offspring, many more are strange species.
Those strange species, in turn, mate with similar beasts and give birth to more beasts. Some beasts gradually mutate, producing crystal nuclei, hiding the power in the bloodline in the crystal nucleus. So, in essence, the crystal beast is the offspring of the dragon.
Of course, the closer the relationship with the dragon, the less mutation, and the purer the bloodline will naturally be. And those who are far away, the bloodline gradually fades, and the ability is also weakened.
Feng Luo's ability to withstand the cold of the old dragon lies in the strength of his bloodline. With the blood of a dragon, Feng Luo heard of it for the first time. But he didn't want to believe that the descendant of the dragon was a slave, wasn't it a big joke?
"I don't know where I came from, I've been separated from my biological parents since I was a child, and I don't even know my real surname. Feng Luo's language was sad, "Why are the seniors here?"
It was the old dragon's turn to grieve, and a mist appeared in his huge eyes.
"I just want to protect my children and grandchildren, but hundreds of years have passed, and they have scolded me for being an old pervert and gathered outsiders to deal with me!
Feng Luo didn't ask much, sat on the old dragon, and looked at each other with pity. In the beginning, it may be necessary for its shelter. But after hundreds of years of precipitation, it is said that there is dragon blood, but he does not want to really have anything to do with aliens.
The old dragon couldn't be ruthless to attack his own children and grandchildren, and finally hid low, out of sight. He didn't know that this hiding had allowed it to survive to this day.
"Young man, tell me, how is the Haori Empire now?" the old dragon suddenly became interested again.
"Nowadays, there is no Haori Empire, only a kingdom. Moreover, the Haori Kingdom must obey the orders of the Tianyan Empire. Feng Luo said carefully. After more than a year of study, he has a general understanding of the evolution of the continental countries.
"No, yes, after so much time, there will always be changes, not to mention that people are so treacherous. The old dragon grinned weakly, "You said that the Luo family did not perish? Fortunately, the descendants of Lao Tzu did not become extinct." ā
Haori Empire, the old dragon doesn't care, as long as the bloodline is not broken.
"If you want them, the seniors can go out and have a look. Feng Luo comforted.
"How do I get out? After being seriously injured, I can't change my body. If you go out like this, I'm afraid that the dragon scales will be stripped off to make armor, and the dragon tendons will be taken away as whips. The old dragon shook his body slightly, almost shaking Feng Luo into the water.
"That'...... I'll go out and see, if the seniors have any words, I can help you bring them. Feng Luo thought of a reason and asked the old dragon to let him go.
The old dragon pursed his lips and said, "Don't play tricks on me, boy. My son is currently the ruler of the kingdom, your clothes are shabby, what is your identity? And your cultivation is not high, it is difficult to meet the emperor. Don't think I'm fooled!"
Feng Luo was speechless, the old dragon was able to quickly make such a guess, and said it without leaving ten, not at all like the self-proclaimed "loyal and honest". It's probably because I have suffered a lot of losses, and I have also learned to play tricks.
"Hehe, the kid was right by me, right? Don't worry, I will let you go, after all, you have dragon blood, and your achievements in the future will not be small, remember to take care of my children and grandchildren." The old dragon said, gesturing to throw Feng Luo into the water.
"Senior, IāI can't stand the cold in the water. Feng Luo blushed and grabbed the scales.
"I can't help it. The old dragon shook his body helplessly, "Back then, a human powerhouse chased and killed me, although I destroyed him, but my body was also nailed to the bottom of the river by him, and I couldn't get out." ā
Lao Long said open-mindedly, and it turned out that he had no choice. But now Fengluo, the pulse qi is almost exhausted, and there is no way to go from the middle of the river to the other bank.
"Senior, can you freeze water into ice and control the shape?" Feng Luo asked.
"What's so hard about that?" the old dragon blew into the water, and a humanoid block of ice floated up. Judging from the rough lines of his facial features, it is Feng Luo. It blew one more bite, and a sinuous dragon appeared on the surface of the water.
The old dragon saw Feng Luo's surprised expression, and blew it into the water again and again, and ice cubes of different shapes appeared.
Feng Luo hurriedly spoke out to stop it, according to this state of affairs, the old dragon couldn't stop. Tens of thousands of years of loneliness, it needs someone to be its companion, someone to talk to, to praise it.
"Senior, as long as I can make such a shape out of ice, I can pass. Feng Luo gestured.
