Chapter 34: Interlude

"The dragon, it's back......"

The earth and fire melted the sea, next to the stone and wood volcano, the dragon man with a dragon head and a human body, and a dragon man with scales and armor standing on a high platform and looking into the distance.

Then, after a sneer, the wrinkled drake lowered its head and closed its eyes.

The dragonman guard standing behind it couldn't help but be shocked, this tall young dragonman wearing hideous and terrifying full-body armor didn't know why, but actually felt a sense of disgust deep into the bone marrow from the old body in front of him.

But why? Obviously it is the object of worship of the dragonmen clan for a long time, and it is also the guardian god for a long time, why does the elder not have the slightest sense of respect, but it is so ...... Hatred?

"Go back, you can't stay here...... Soon the lava will rise and flood the retreat. ”

Turning around, the dragonman elder's golden vertical pupils were full of indifference, "Guardian Spirit......?"

The guard, on the other hand, turned his head in some confusion and looked towards the volcano, it still couldn't understand why the patron saint, who had been away for almost a hundred years, finally returned, but the elder was so indifferent, even disdainful.

However, it saw the most terrifying sight for a dragonman.

......

Endless heat erupted from the lava lake, a terrifying scorching flame that melted steel slowly flowed underground, spewing liquid rock metal as sticky as glue to the surface.

The dragon snake of the six-eyed triangle hovered in this hell, enjoying the bath of the high concentration of fire aura.

This is its territory, and there will be no human cultivators chasing it, and no other creatures will come to offend.

The reason for this is precisely because of the majestic peak of the mountain behind it, a supervolcano that rises 3,400 meters high and towers over a lava reservoir tens of kilometers in circumference.

As long as you're in it. Unless they are the top cultivators. Otherwise, no one can catch it. And the brutal environment of this place makes it impossible for creatures without its bloodline to survive.

Dragon, the spokesperson of the planet, the son of the earth, a creature favored by the heavens, the Earth Eclipse Dragon has been able to manipulate the power of the earth and fire, air and thunder since it was born hundreds of years ago, after a long time of training. It has integrated these innate forces into one, and the volcano is the power of heaven and earth, and it is naturally at its disposal.

Of course, having such a talent naturally comes at a price...... Whether it is regulating the flow of spiritual power in the leylines, or mitigating earthquakes, whether it is channeling magma to suppress volcanic eruptions, or calling for wind and rain to rain down, these are its duties. Can't ignore it.

Of course, the most important. Still is......

Hunt humans.

Rolling in the magma of several thousand degrees, the dragon snake's eyes showed a trace of deep jealousy.

This is a terrible race that erodes all things, and climbs step by step to a higher place with the life of others as the cornerstone food, and their progress has gone beyond the natural cycle of survival of the fittest, but pure extinction, occupation, and then development...... And the existence of the cultivator threatens the planet itself.

Thousands of years ago, it could have been suppressed a little, but with the seal of the dragon god and the extinction of the earth mother, this planet can no longer do anything, and can only give meaningless orders in vain.

Extermination of humanity.

Seeing the hope of victory, and not needing the hope of victory, the dragon snake named Earth Eclipse simply followed the orders left by the Earth Mother, loyally attacking human villages, and it was cautious that it did not do it himself, but instigated demon beasts to destroy, so that even if it was a Heavenly Sect cultivator, there was no way to actually track its traces.

It is the dragon's duty to regulate the balance of heaven and earth, so that all things can thrive and grow at the same time, and eliminate the cancerous changes in them, as for whether it can be suppressed or not...... It doesn't know either.

To be honest, this kind of work is not hard, even if it is hunted down by cultivators, hundreds of years have passed in a flash, and its strength has reached the point where it is now, but this kind of life cannot last long...... One day, the dragon snake will be wiped out by the powerful cultivators who come to crusade, and the earth will once again give birth to a new true dragon to take its place, and the cycle will continue until the moment when the planet is completely destroyed.

A figure flashed through my mind.

It was a blurry, human teenager.

The spiritual power of the Earth Eclipse Dragon can incite monster riots and attack villages, and it can also shock humans, so that they cannot move, and can only be killed.

However, if some people are not killed by such an attack, the spiritual power will turn into a mark and penetrate deep into their bone marrow...... Just like a signal, the monsters that came close to him would converge towards him as if they were tempted by something, and kill him.

However, if someone can overcome these hardships and survive, then he is undoubtedly strong.

Sensing one, several humans with such marks were slowly walking towards him, and the dragon snake took a deep breath, sucking the hot magma and air into its mouth.

"Whew--"

The long dragon roared through the heavens and the earth.

======================

For cultivators, there is nothing better than when they feel that their cultivation has improved at the end of their cultivation.

Since a long time ago, Gao Chuan has not had the habit of sleeping, and most of the occasional hibernation is also used to alleviate the overactivation phenomenon of overflowing spiritual power, not to mention that he is in the wild, which makes it even more impossible to sleep.

The reason why he didn't continue marching in the middle of the night was just to cultivate and absorb the vitality he had hunted during the day.

But the two demon hunters, for some reason, could not sleep peacefully, and now in the middle of the night, the three of them sat quietly by the campfire, not knowing what to think.

"Lord Takakawa...... What are your goals?"

Suddenly, Xu Zhengyan, who was leaning against the big tree and sitting on the left side of the bonfire, shifted his gaze to the blue-clothed cultivator and asked with a little doubt.

"After killing so many demon beasts, if it was just for hunting, then ordinary cultivators would have returned satisfied, while you continued to move towards the volcano...... We guessed you were looking for something, but what exactly?"

"yes. ”

Nodding in response, Xu Zhenguo, who was sharpening his weapon with a whetstone, also nodded and said, "If it is to investigate the truth of the demon beast riot back then, it doesn't look like it, although we will continue to follow you no matter what the situation, but I am still a little curious." ”

However, Gao Chuan, who had already completed his cultivation and had purified and absorbed the large amount of life force he had obtained today, was stunned for a moment, and looked into the depths of the jungle with strange eyes.

"If you have to say it, it's simple, there is a powerful demon beast in the Earth Fire Molten Sea that is my enemy, and I went there to kill it and understand the grievances...... Of course, it is also the culprit that caused the monster riot. ”

After saying it briefly, Gao Chuan looked around and said with a strange expression

"You should pay attention to your surroundings in light of that. ”

Bang la la blah.

Listen closely, in the silence of the mountain forest, the wind blows through the leaves, and under the harmonious sound of the waves of the forest and sea, there are some strange sounds that are not very regular.

"Anyone?!"

The tone was surprised, but he still tried to lower his voice, Xu Zhenguo looked incredulous: "Who is it?"

"There's no need to be so cautious, there are no cultivators among them, and together they are probably no match for the two of you. ”

Standing up, Gao Chuan looked into the depths of the pitch-black jungle, and countless figures burning with vitality were reflected in his eyes.

"Come out, the guy who has been staring at him all the time, obviously has no malicious intent, why is he so sneaky. (To be continued.) )
