Chapter 41: Gone

Shenlong's eyes finally didn't open again, and he died quietly. Perhaps he had waited too long for this moment, and from his body, there was no unwillingness or resentment, but a kind of relief and calm.

In this way, he looked like a baby who had returned to his mother's womb, and despite his huge size, he was left with only peace and pleasure.

He was such a powerful being, but he was so gentle. Qin Ke quietly looked at the gray stained on the body of the divine dragon, and the light in his heart also shone with it, as if he was mourning, a wave of sorrow welled up in his heart, and large tears accumulated in his eyes.

Zhuge Wanling was silent for a long time, looked at the divine dragon, and finally sighed: "Although I have expected it, it is really touching to witness the passing of a great existence with my own eyes. He patted Gao Changgong's shoulder, looked at him who was also silent, and said, "Go ahead." Don't let his death go to waste. ”

Gao Changgong nodded, handed the spear to Abu, and watched Abu hold the spear with some difficulty, he smiled, and tore two pieces of cloth from his cuffs that were enough to wrap his palm, and slowly walked forward.

Shenlong's body slowly turned from grayish white to warm again, and his body was forming a jade like mutton fat, a change that began with his claws and spread to his entire torso, until it extended towards his scales.

Gao Changgong knew that his time was still short, so he suddenly jumped down and stepped on the neck of the divine dragon, the scarlet scales still maintained their black and red color, and at a glance, it was like a deep and greedy nightmare, eager to absorb people's souls.

And Gao Changgong raised his legs, and as his whole body surged with qi and blood, he suddenly exerted his strength and stepped down hard.

The junction between the reverse scale and the dragon's body cracked, and when the reverse scale left the dragon's body, it began to shrink, and every time the fingers snapped, it nearly doubled, and by the time it fell to the ground, this reverse scale was no more than the size of a palm.

Zhuge Wanling looked at the reverse scales and said softly: "Dragon, the dragon can be big and small, can rise and hide, the big one is the clouds and spit out the fog, and the small one is hidden in the form, and if it rises, it will soar between the universe, and the hidden will lurk in the waves......

Qin Ke finally understood why the dragon scales in the coffin were no more than the size of a palm, but he didn't have any surprise in his heart now, in his feelings, it was not strange that a divine object like a dragon would have any special abilities.

Gao Changgong picked him up with his hand wrapped in the fabric, and took advantage of the situation to wrap it up, and the smell of blood was wrapped in the cloth with the bloodthirsty scales, and it suddenly diffused invisibly. It's just that Gao Changgong still wrinkled his nose, looked at the dragon blood on his body, and shook his head: "Look at the blood we drenched, does the legend say that the dragon's blood washes the muscles and marrows? If it really can, maybe your not so good body may be better in the future." ”

Zhuge Wanling shook his head with a smile: "Unless it is the essence blood of the heart of the dragon eyebrows, which condenses the essence of his body, it has this effect." Let alone...... King Ye's body, haven't you seen it yet? Wash the muscles and marrow, but the washed muscles and bones are not human muscles and bones, and I don't want to be a half-human and half-dragon monster yet. ”

Gao Changgong nodded, turned to look at Shenlong's completely jade body, and sighed: "Your Excellency Shenlong is also a true gentleman, strong and unwilling to bully, living above the nine heavens, but still able to pity the world, if there are more such people in this world, maybe this troubled world will end earlier." ”

Zhuge Wanling closed his eyes and said, "Both you and I are very small. People all over the world, even more. ”

"What do you think is really powerful in your heart?" Gao Changgong asked meaningfully, "In your opinion, even this Divine Dragon Lord may not be really powerful, right?"

"Although he is strong, he is not in control of his own destiny. It's hard to say it's really powerful. Zhuge Wanling just said this, and was silent.

Qin Ke looked at the corpse of the divine dragon, and it was hard to imagine that he was once a living artifact like a huge jade carving.

But Qin Ke thought about it, maybe this was in line with the dignity of the divine dragon, for the divine dragon, even if he died, he should not be as depressed as a person or an animal to become a decaying corpse, his majesty would still be sealed here, as if he had never died.

"Snake?" There was a sizzling sound under his feet, Qin Ke's ears moved slightly, and he lowered his head in a daze.

It was indeed a snake, but it was not the huge and sturdy python in King Ye's mausoleum, but a red snake with black and red intertwined, it slowly crawled past his feet, and did not stop for long, the purpose was clear, and he didn't even look at Qin Ke more.

This kind of snake Qin Ke has seen a lot, in the mountains, the old people will often catch them back to drink wine, because they are non-toxic, so many times, even children will try to catch, and after bringing it home, they will be praised by the elders, which has even become a children's leisure activity.

But there shouldn't have been such a snake in the belly of the mountain.

Maybe it was because there was some small opening that connected to the outside, so the snake got in?Qin Ke thought.

"Snake!" When Abu called out in surprise, Qin Ke suddenly turned his head, and countless hissing sounds were intertwined, which was already overwhelming!

Qin Ke's heart tightened and looked around.

I don't know when it started, but a large number of snakes poured out of the belly of the mountain, which had nothing but corpses and dragons.

The jade-like corpse of the divine dragon illuminated their bodies, and Qin Ke had never seen so many snakes gathered together: the rock pit viper, the Ussuri pit viper, the belly chain snake, the yellow spine swimming snake, the red lian snake, the tuanhua cobra, and the white-striped cobra snake...... It was as if the snakes of the entire mountain range had gathered here, and even in the cracks of the rocks, they were still gushing out.

Some snakes are larger, some are small and delicate, but despite this, the big snake does not try to climb over the small snake, but guards its position very dutifully and moves forward slowly.

Obviously a beast that does not understand human nature, at this moment, it is like an army under command, and it just crawls forward like a demon, originally Qin Ke was still a little worried that these snakes would become a troublesome thing to bite them, but when these snakes passed by their feet, they seemed to treat them completely as transparent things.

They approached the dragon and formed a snake formation, watching quietly, as if waiting for something.

"What are they ......," Qin Ke said in a low voice, "What are you waiting for?"

Zhuge Wanling's eyes brightened, and he said: "The barrier to the outside has disappeared, this is the formation used to trap the Divine Dragon, since the Divine Dragon is dead, he has lost his original utility." ”

"Even if the pathway is opened, then these snakes ...... "I've never seen anything like it, when I was a kid herding cattle, I saw a group of snakes gathering together to mate, but it was just a snake, here...... There are at least dozens of ......"

As he spoke, the glimmer of the dragon's body gradually brightened, and the light that was originally just a little dim illuminated almost the entire mountainside in just a few breaths.

Qin Ke looked at this magnificent space, and Shenlong's dead but still majestic body, the light was so bright that it made him a little uncomfortable, he squinted his eyes and was stunned, not knowing what would happen next.

The snakes have no eyes and faces, and it is naturally impossible for them to squint their eyes like Qin Ke to prevent too bright bright light, but they silently stared at the source of the light, and a little fanaticism gradually appeared in their eyes.

They bowed their heads, like a courtier who had seen a king for the first time, and fell humbly to the ground.

"It's ...... Qin Ke was slightly stunned, but saw that the light gradually began to condense, although the light was still amazingly bright, but Qin Ke inexplicably felt that this light was no longer dazzling, but like the morning sun, warm and warm.

These rays of light intertwined in mid-air, as if they were woven together by a pair of invisible hands, and gradually, the outline of a dragon was formed. He stared down quietly, only nodding slightly.

Zhuge Wanling, Gao Changgong and Abu bowed their hands and bowed respectfully.

Qin Ke's heart was surging, and he couldn't help but want to say something, but the light didn't stop long, but raised his head as if swimming in the water, rising, getting higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally penetrating the belly of the mountain and slowly disappearing.

The entire mountainside returned to darkness again, Qin Ke looked down and thought, this is fine. He went back, and everything in this world had nothing to do with him.

The snakes on the ground gradually began to be restless, and after the dragon really left, these snakes that were originally crawling on the ground were no longer respectful and solemn, and their eyes were full of greed and desire.
