Chapter 289: Descending to the Core

Everyone was shocked when they heard the ants speak dragon language, and Layla also looked incredulous, thinking that she had the memory of so many lifetimes and couldn't understand the dragons, how did you know?

The dragon was even more taken aback. Then I don't know if it's because its head is not very good or if it just beat the fat and was a little dizzy, so it asked stupidly: "You are also a dragon?" ”

"No, of course I'm not."

Ant-Man said as he shrunk back to his normal size. Although he can become a giant, the consumption of body energy by doing so is far greater than usual, and it cannot be maintained for too long. The control of the Ant-Man suit in the Ant-Man 2 movie failed, and the giant state was difficult to restore, and he almost suffocated due to lack of oxygen.

In the game skill, it may be to restore, and the giant is set to the ultimate skill. Ant-Man in its megalotic state will have a pressure gauge that will slowly increase as the time of megalometization progresses. When it reaches a certain point, it will be forcibly lifted and changed back to normal size.

Once the size is restored, the pressure groove is slowly reduced. The fewer progress bars there are in this slot, the more time it takes for him to transform into a giant increases.

At this time, Ant-Man changed back to his normal size, and his arms were open: "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary human, and I have a few questions for you." ”

Dragon: "."

Redefining "ordinary human beings".

When it thought about it, it felt like it had just eaten a fist and its jaw hurt terribly.

But after seeing the ability on the other side, it didn't dare to mess around, and glanced at the core of Batman's hand that had been its descending core, and said vaguely: "What do you want to know?" ”

"Let's start with that." He gestured for the locket, "What's that?" ”

"I don't know." The dragon shook his head, "Something left behind by outsiders." But it's mine, and I have to lock it up and watch it, or it's going to happen. ”

"Why?" Ant-Man asked.

"I don't know, everybody says that."

"Everyone? Do you mean other dragons? Ant-Man asked, "Are there any other dragons?" Where are they? ”

"It's dead, it's long gone." The dragon continued to shake his head.

I don't know why, the majestic mythical creature oppression that this product first appeared on the scene has long been gone in Chu Cheng's eyes at this time. Listening to its voice translated by the electronically controlled helmet, with the appearance of it sitting on the ground with its legs stretched out and shaking its head, I always feel that Yazi is not very smart.

Chu Cheng also immediately thought of Layla's saying that the dragon clan had long been extinct. But Layla only heard from the Ancients group, which was the result of ancient observation and exploration of the Ancients race, and no one knew how the dragon became extinct.

"What happened?"

"The outsiders are back." The dragon said, "We resist, we are defeated. They thought we were a threat, so they killed them all. ”

Chu Cheng was slightly shocked in his heart.

He remembered that Layla had said that sooner or later the gods would always return to the planet they had visited. Maybe it's not in the future tense, maybe it even happened in the past.

When they returned, they discovered a species called the dragon, determined it to be a threat, and killed it.

"But you're alive." Anthuman.

"Of course, I wasn't born yet." The dragon mumbled, "I'll still be an egg." Many, many years have passed, and somehow I woke up.

When I woke up, everyone was dead, and I was the only one left. But they leave me with some memories, some voices in my head.

They say that the thing that destroyed us will come back, that this locket will be the key, and that it must be watched anyway. ”

Speaking of it, he got angry again: "That's mine!" ”

Chu Cheng asked a few more questions through Ant-Man, but he felt that this dragon was not thinking clearly, and sometimes the answers were reversed, and he couldn't say a reason for a question for a long time. For a moment he didn't even feel like he was asking a mythical creature, but rather a junior student.

But he still got some sort of things out.

The infected beasts, the mutated monsters, were not what it did, but what the ancients called the "Descending Core".

The ancients had rumors that dragons would infect lower creatures, mutate them, and become violent, and that might be the cauldron of this thing.

Although it is unknown what connection this thing has with the return of the gods outside the sky, it is now certain that this may be the most dangerous source of infection that humans have unearthed so far. However, it seems to be only effective for low-sapient organisms, and has little effect on humans.

Chu Cheng only used the on-site equipment to simply calculate the infection level of this thing, and the results made him a little surprised. It is indeed more exaggerated than all the infected objects in the entire database of the Secret Service Nine, and if it is not controlled, it is possible to cover all kinds of animals in the entire Pole Star within ten days and a half months.

And such a terrible thing has been sleeping on this planet for endless years, but it has never caused a catastrophe, and it has only been discovered today.

One of the most important reasons is because of this place.

A space that seems to be isolated from the world, a paradise-like realm, this is indeed not a natural formation. This is the space that the ancient dragon clan opened up many years ago, and it was specially created to seal and suppress the power of this artifact.

Its very existence is a disaster. It can mutate and drive wild beasts mad, and in a very short period of time, it can turn an entire planet into a hell on earth where beasts are rampant, and no living thing can live and develop. It can't be destroyed, and it can't be discarded, so the Elder Dragons created this special realm to isolate it from outside influences.

And at this time, the not-so-smart guy that Chu Cheng and the others saw in front of them, the last dragon in the world, was the gatekeeper of this field. The memory of the inheritance and the instinct imprinted in the body kept it guarded for many years, both to prevent humans from digging here and bringing this artifact of destruction to the outside world, and to guard against the return of foreign gods.

Dragons are proud creatures who have always looked up to themselves as superior. Mortals regard them as mythical beasts, and they themselves think so, and therefore rightfully feel that they have a duty to take care of those inferior races who are weaker than themselves.

Therefore, even when they were on the verge of extinction, they still created this out-of-this-world land for future generations of beings to suppress calamities. Otherwise, human beings and beings on the polar planet may not be able to develop to this point at all, and the entire planet has already become a kind of post-apocalyptic wasteland due to the influence of this super infectious source.

From this point of view alone, this extinct race does deserve the respect of the other beings who have survived to this day.

At the same time, Chu Cheng also realized another problem revealed during the period.

The dragon said the Advent Core had been here for a long time. It didn't seem to have much concept of time, but Chu Cheng estimated that it must have been a very long time.

In such a long time, the Advent Core has been sealed here, and there has never been a moth. But now, in the past two days, animals affected by it seem to have begun to appear near Jiangdu.

This does not bode well.

Either the sealing effect of this realm has weakened, or the power of the descending core has become stronger.

But if he had to guess, it could mean something even worse.

They're coming.
