Thoughts freeze, heartbeat stagnates, breathing stops.

If there really is a "soul" in the world, Gordon feels that his soul is crumbling under the gaze of this evil pupil.

"Uhh——。hh

Gordon let out a faint growl from his chest.

His muscles tensed, and he fought against the mental pressure with all his might.

"Ahhh

He let go of the suppression of the desire to attack the Tyrannosaurus armor that seemed to stimulate the nerves all the time, and with the "help" of this bloodthirsty impulse, he regained some control of his body a little.

Divert your gaze from the strange evil eye? Or turn around and flee?

This was not his first reaction.

The torch fell to the ground, and he roared, his palm clenching the hilt of his sword exposed behind his shoulder.

The moment the epitaph sword was in hand, under the influence of that heavy hand, an even more violent force was detonated in his body.

"Drink, ah, ah!!"

With a frenzied roar that seemed to be able to spit out the trembling soul of fear, the epitaph greatsword with the inscription on the sword body suddenly lit up, carrying all the power that Gordon could gather at this time, slashed down on the rotten demonic giant skull.

The moment the blade touched the head, the inscription on the sword body exploded as if it was about to explode.

Pitch-black light and crimson lightning shone brightly.

The dragon attribute energy of unprecedented strength took the contact point as the source, condensed, and spread, enveloping the Epitaph Greatsword and the sword-wielding Gordon together.

"Buzz ——!"

After a low humming sound, the dragon attribute energy that had been condensed to the extreme suddenly exploded.

Fly Gordon and the pork chops off the top platform.

They tumble down the stone steps, only to find that their bodies are back in control.

Gordon and Pork Chop immediately tightened their limbs to avoid further trauma to their head and chest, and after rolling down more than ten steps in a row, they finally stopped.

"Crackle!"

Tiny crimson arcs jumped on the armor, which was the remnant of the dragon's energy burst.

Gordon struggled to his feet and looked up.

Due to the angle, the monster head, which was as huge as a small house, was out of sight.

"What's that meow?!" The pork chop screamed and vented the fear in his heart.

"I don't know."

The previous roar made Gordon's voice a little hoarse, and he picked up the epitaph greatsword that had fallen to the side, the blade of which was hot, "Black scales, golden pupils, four sharp horns, and that ominous sense of oppression."

Never heard of such a dragon.

The only thing he could confirm was that it was a far more terrifying existence than any kind of monster he had ever seen, even the ancient dragon.

Just a skull that has been sitting here for tens of thousands of years almost breaks our minds. ”

Gordon paused for a moment and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this relic was built specifically to seal this head.

Can make the ancestors of the ancient era pay attention to it to such an extent, this monster, this monster"

Gordon was short of words for a while.

"What are we going to do? Do you want to get close to 'that thing' again? "The pork chop is in a rapid tone, which is a sign of extreme nervousness.

Gordon looked down at his sword-wielding hands, shaking slightly.

He clenched his palms with all his might, stopping the trembling of his hands.

"Pork chops, you stay here, there are some things, I have to reconfirm."

He wanted to see if he could stand in front of that evil eye again.

That sounds a little inexplicable.

Only he knew how frightened he was during the time when his body could not move.

If he doesn't even have the courage to face that fear again, an indelible shadow will be cast on his "will".

"It's just a dead thing." Gordon whispered to himself.

"Go meow in the next one!"

The pork chop seemed to see through his thoughts, and it jumped onto Gordon's back, "Meow with your eyes closed at the bottom, and scratch Gordon's neck if you don't move for too long."

In the case of not being able to move, a painful stimulus should help meow. ”

"Okay."

Gordon bared his teeth at the pork chop, then gripped his greatsword and climbed back onto the platform at the top of the Blackstone Tower, step by step.

His gaze didn't hesitate or wander, and as soon as the giant skull reappeared in his field of vision, Gordon set his sights on the evil eye that could drive most people crazy.

The heart seemed to be grasped by sharp claws, and the feeling of stagnation that the soul was about to be frozen struck again.

Gordon gripped the hilt of his sword, but didn't slash his greatsword.

That's just a way to vent your fears.

Fear?

Fear of what? A decaying head?

"Hoo ——。"

He exhaled a long breath, and the suffocating pressure receded like a tidal wave.

"It's just a head." Gordon muttered to himself.

The "gaze" of that evil eye still gave him a sense of threat and tension, but that was about it.

"To leave a shadow in my heart? It's almost the same to live. ”

"Gogo. Is Gordon okay meow? The pork chop behind Gordon was still tightly closed.

Gordon hugged it to his side, "It's okay, open your eyes, there's nothing to be afraid of, I was just taken aback before." ”

"Meow!"

Pork Chop plucked up the courage to open his eyes, and Gordon could feel the muscles in his body tense for a moment.

After more than ten seconds, it suddenly moved, and the pork chop struggled hard, "I'm not afraid of you meow!" ”

"Alright, it's okay."

Gordon put the pork chop down and rubbed the little head of the pork chop vigorously, "There's nothing to be afraid of, right?" ”

"Actually, it's quite a terrible meow."

Gordon smiled, for them, the thing was no longer a threat.

"The thing that Lan Long is afraid of, is it meowing?"

"Nine times out of ten." Gordon circled around the massive head, "And I think, it's not so much fear as fear."

Fear the living body of this monster. ”

"If we take this one, this eyeball down, maybe scare away Lan Long Meow?" The pork chop still didn't dare to look directly at that evil eye.

"I think it's more likely to anger Lanlong even more." Gordon replied with a toothache.

He didn't think Lan Long would be more timid than them.

If it was found that the "sleeping" in the ruins was only an ancient and broken head, Lan Long probably wouldn't be so nervous.

"So, what's the point of our expedition?"

Gordon laughed dryly, "I can't say it's completely meaningless, at least, well, if we can get out of it and get the message out there."

The guild might just need to send a team to infiltrate here, bury the head or blow it up or something, and maybe Lan Long's agitation will be calmed? ”

"But the question is, how do we get rid of Lan Long Meow, Lan Long is obviously eyeing us."

"Wait."

Gordon suddenly raised his hand, and he turned to look at the pork chop, "What did you just say?" ”

"How do we get rid of Arashi Dragon Meow?"

"The latter sentence?"

"Lanlong is eyeing us?"

Gordon's brow furrowed, and he remembered a suspicion, a suspicion that he had been running for his life and had been left behind by him.

"Why is Lan Long eyeing us, or rather, why is he eyeing me?"

"Because it's agitated?"

Gordon tapped his forehead, "No, it's not right, it's not logical.

If the dragon is there to protect something, such as cubs, then its actions to clear its territory of all threats are understandable.

But if it was agitated by the breath leaking from the ruins, how could it chase us to the ruins?

This hatred is unjustified. ”

"Because Gordon provoked it in the first place?"

"If Lan Long really cared that much, we would have died a few years ago." Gordon continued to tap his forehead, "There must be some reason.

There must be something that makes me particularly hateful in Lanlong's eyes.

Dinosaur suit? Possibly, even for the ancient dragons, the dinosaurs should be some troublesome opponents.

Epitaph Greatsword? This seems to be very likely, the product of ancient civilization, and the ruins are barely on the top, and it contains powerful dragon attribute energy.

Wait a minute! ”

"Meow?" The pork chop was startled by Gordon's surprise.

"Look, watch," Gordon looked at Pork Chop, "Pork Chop, do you remember the old dragon man we met when we went to the Frozen Ground before, who called himself Lord Yamana?" ”

"Remember Meow, it's an old gentleman who is chattering."

"When he left, he said to me, 'There's something that's going to give you unwanted attention.'" Gordon cupped his forehead and closed his eyes and recalled, "I didn't think much of it.

Unnecessary gazes

At that time, I was carrying the Fire Dragon Huang Sword, and I didn't have this set of Dinosaur armor, what else would bring me 'attention'?

That thing might have something to do with ancient civilizations? Or, something to do with the ancient dragon? ”

Gordon snapped his eyes open and met the pork chop.

"The gold coin!"

"Transferring gold coins?"
