Do you think the dragons and dragons are still alive in the timeline of the modern material plane? Is there any evidence for this?"

In the face of Flanders's question, Colley just smiled and said, "I don't have any evidence, but I have this intuition."

"If there is no evidence, we can first assume that they are still alive, hidden in some corner of the physical plane or the spiritual plane, in some special state of survival continuity, and the fog of history is the ideal hiding place."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be stranger than the extinction itself that the dragons were able to predict catastrophe and irretrievably lead to destruction, and that they had the ability to act?"

Even though Colly said this, Flanders and his party decided to walk around the outskirts of the city first, and then go around the city.

Flanders: "You're not the first to think so, but the fog of history isn't real, and a lot of people think the dragons are hiding, but all signs are that they're gone."

"Whether it's prophecy, divination, or searching for the contents of the classics, and looking for their secrets from the side branches of the dragons, the conclusion is that the dragons withdrew from the stage of history many centuries ago."

"Because the survival and promotion knowledge of mythical creatures is true, we don't know how they are continued, it's like entering the fog of history, and we haven't found that they have a promotion description of extraordinary characteristics."

As he walked, Ke Li threw down some worthless road sign crystals: "The dragon race is special after all, according to the standards of the modern material plane, the dragon race is also a kind of human race, but they are classified as a dragon race, and there are also representatives in the mythical creatures, and the study of the dragon race is to study the legendary mythological era."

"And the attitude of the dragon race is very strange, just like there is an extra step between the human race and the god race, deliberately distinguishing themselves, deliberately hiding themselves, and then the story of the end of the world says that they are using all methods."

"When it comes to life and death, unless the dragons collectively think that they should disappear, they will definitely fight for it. Either they are gods with the power of faith, or they are other races that can take refuge."

"But it is very strange that in the ordinary people and the Orthodox God Church, there is no record of the coming of the end of the world, but only wars and historical changes, as well as natural disasters caused by the great decline of the population."

Mary added, "I have also read various propaganda books of the church before, and I feel that the churches of various countries are deliberately hiding from ordinary people, and do not want ordinary people to know that there are extraordinary powers in the world."

"Well, there is no evidence to say that the church colluded to be all together, because there are also many references to the stories and authority of the gods, and the more you collect folk accounts, the easier it is to mix them up, as if they are all talking about the same God."

After speaking, the three of them looked at Enzo together, making Enzo's torch shake: "Look at ***?"

"Summarize the questions yourself and ask the Dragonmen if they know about other gods, churches, and natural disasters, and they are familiar with these days, so it won't offend them and kick us out of the city on the spot, right?"

Colley smiled and said, "Alright then, we have enough resources with us, so let's check the structure and layout of this dungeon first, and then find out if there is a deeper dungeon to see how many floors it has."

"It doesn't matter if it takes a few more days, anyway, Takeyaman didn't ask for it, and the dragon guards didn't say it, this desert area is very vast, if the sandstorm lasts for 10~15 days, we can't ask if we go back early."

Colley spoke, and everyone went into action.

The experience of exploring dungeons is much more cumbersome than exploring surface towns, and without the ability to continuously illuminate a large area, only consumable items can be recognized.

After about three torch changes, everyone communicates through cards and meets at the fountain pool.

"The town is basically the same as the one on the ground, except for the edges and corners of the buildings, and it's strange that the dungeon has the same watchtower and the layout of the gate."

"If we set off again along the city gate and look for those three coordinates according to the map, will we find anything?"

The crowd wanted to verify this

conjecture, so they set off en masse.

However, the underground world is still very different from the surface.

The biggest problem is the view and passages, the surface is an open desert, and the underground is full of whole rocks, and many roads are crevices, and it is impossible to walk under normal circumstances.

"I'll open the way, the stones here don't look like the main stress pillars, it's okay to cut the road."

Ke Li took the initiative to open the way, and found that the ruins had indeed appeared behind the stone cracks.

"Judging from the scale of the ruins, it is not far from the underground city of the main city, much closer than the ground, but considering the time cost of opening up the road by ordinary means, it seems that it is also within the protection of some kind of law."

Although the appearance is as good as ever, the newly found ruins are empty, and the dragonmen should have some kind of passage to get here, and if there were treasures inside, the things should have been taken long ago.

"Unlike the surface ruins, there are no traces of bugs here."

Ke Li and the others continued to search for the remaining two directions, and successfully and strangely found the spearhead in the cave.

It's just that there is no spider silk on the spearhead, and it is stained with dark red blood, like some kind of greasy and smooth activated substance.

After looking for this trip, Ke Li and the others returned to the fountain pool in the main city, and followed the established route to enter the lower level.

It seems that the influence of the sun and the moon has been lost, and the sense of time here has become less obvious, and the only way to check the timing of rest and preparation can only be confirmed by auxiliary timekeeping.

Looking at the stone statue of the dragon people guarding in front of the stone gate, Ke Li and the others tried to provide the key, and it was opened normally.

The staircase on the next floor also seems deeper and deeper in the quiet steps.

The first layer is a sand city, the second layer is a stone city, and the third layer has a glowing presence such as mushroom coral.

Colley: "The location of the other ruins has not changed, but the stones have become harder, and the layout of the scene is like being eroded by the marine environment, and each layer has changed and changed."

As he spoke, Colley inexplicably thought of the image of the Ancient Man that he had taken from the first time he cut the runaway object.

Although the two shapes are completely different, the feeling of seclusion, loneliness, madness and explosion is the same.

And the dragon people here, there are more layered changes, which are easier to understand than a separate scene picture.

Like a city sinking into the deep sea and darkness, while the builders and inhabitants are powerless, the feeling of suffocation and oppression cannot be felt in the sand where the sun is bright and the yellow sand is hot.

Even when opening the way, I would subconsciously worry about the collapse and be buried alive by the irresistible weight in the dark space, and I instantly understood the uneasy and urgent mental process in the face of disaster and fear.

Is this the spiritual erosion from darkness, or the residual pollution of consciousness from the deep sea?

Cooley secretly manipulated the Inception Gem, covering the encompassing and grasping realm around him, and the dark and oppressive feeling disappeared immediately, dispelling the influence of the terrain.

Only Mary covered her forehead, her eyes glowing pink, "I heard the dragons talking, as if there was something really here, and I wanted to find it."
