Chapter 67: Western Fantasy Traveling Through Long Aotian (End of Inverted V)
As Long Haoyu finished speaking, the warm yellow curtains where his eyes were directed swayed gently without wind.
A familiar slender figure emerged from behind the curtain, its golden scales opening and closing with its breath, slowly rubbing against the ground.
When it reached the three people, the golden snake stopped moving. It pressed its entire body to the ground, not daring to raise its head, to show its absolute submission.
Long Lingnan stepped forward and stroked the golden snake from its head at the triangle all the way to its seven inches. The golden snake remained motionless, allowing Long Lingnan to move as he pleased.
After such a close contact, Long Lingnan finally confirmed that his previous perception was indeed correct. This golden snake not only has dragon blood in its body, but the source of this dragon blood is actually a five-clawed golden dragon. Even if it is placed in the Longming Realm, this golden snake can KO a bunch of monsters with its bloodline.
Could it be... the route of the abandoned child of the Golden Dragon who wandered in another world?
Long Lingnan tilted her head, her thoughts running wildly across an unknown grassland like wild horses, but she remained serious and asked:
"Why have you come to look for us so many times?"
This golden snake came here at the risk of its life. If any of Long Lingnan's three dragons had a bad temper, it would most likely be regarded as an offense by the irritable dragons and torn into pieces. Therefore, Long Lingnan guessed that the golden snake must have asked for something big.
The golden snake was obviously quite human-like. Upon hearing this, a hint of hope and pleading flashed in its eyes. It raised its head slightly, and seeing that Long Lingnan did not stop it, it was filled with joy and anxiously hissed and stuck out its tongue.
Long Lingnan: ...
It was her mistake not to consider the language barrier. She was born a dragon and only knew dragon language, not snake language.
What should I do?
She looked extremely serious, and at first glance you would think she was listening very attentively.
"Sister, you can understand what it is saying."
Long Zixuan looked over with curiosity and admiration, his face full of pride that said, "She is worthy of being my imperial sister."
"Can't understand."
With a stern face, Long Lingnan coldly tried to correct Long Zixuan's misconception of her omnipotence, but it didn't work. Long Zixuan felt that the image of the imperial sister was even more unfathomable, and firmly believed that she must have a deeper vision.
Puff! Long Haoyu found the communication barrier between the two very amusing. He chuckled and interrupted the golden snake's unilateral statement. He lowered his palm and pressed down on the tufts of Long Lingnan's hair, rubbing them vigorously. Looking at the persistent little snake, he said:
"You want to take us somewhere, right? No need to say anything, just lead the way. Whether it succeeds or not, we won't know until we get there."
The golden snake lowered its head deeply, like a human performing a long bow. It swayed its tail and swam towards the gate. Long Lingnan and the other two slowly followed.
"Brother, how do you know what it means?"
Long Lingnan was puzzled. Could it be that her brother had taken an extra foreign language course without her knowing?
Long Haoyu curled his lips and smiled: "Secret."
Damn it, her brother actually treated her like an outsider!
Long Lingnan pouted, looking unhappy, and decided not to let Long Haoyu touch her head. She shook her head to shake off Long Haoyu's hand, and took the lead to catch up with the golden snake, leaving the two brothers far behind.
Following the lead of the golden snake, the three of them gradually went deeper into the forest. The golden snake was in the front, stopping from time to time to look back and wait. As dusk fell, the sounds in the forest became quieter. It seemed that the only sound in the quiet forest was the rustling of the three people and the snake moving forward.
The golden snake stopped at the entrance of a cave which was half-covered by many thin vines, coiled up and waited for the three people. When the three people walked in, it quickly dived into the small cave and disappeared.
Long Lingnan stepped forward, lifted the vines, and measured the size of the cave entrance with his eyes. He couldn't help but look back at Long Haoyu with a look of anticipation.
The entrance to the cave was only about the height of an adult's waist, so it was easy for Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan, who were children, to enter. However, Long Haoyu, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, definitely couldn't get in.
"Or, brother, you wait for us here."
Long Lingnan suggested sincerely. After all, she didn't know whether Long Haoyu could transform into a dragon in his current state. She flipped through the vast sea of inherited memories again and again, but didn't find any similar cases like Long Haoyu. She could only say that, worthy of being Long Aotian, his experience was unique.
Long Haoyu didn't answer. He put his hands in his pockets and walked forward, carefully examining the cave entrance. He had to admit that there was no way he could get into the cave in human form.
But Long Haoyu would not feel at ease if he let Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan go in with the Golden Snake. He was really worried that these two guys would accidentally blow up the entire island.
He closed his eyes, calmed down and felt his body. It should be... almost there.
The night was hazy, the moonlight was trickling, and red light was emanating from Long Haoyu's body. The light gradually expanded, and when it reached its peak, it suddenly disappeared. Only a half-human-high blood-red dragon was left in its place.
Long Haoyu gently rubbed Long Lingnan with his dragon horn, signaling her and Long Zixuan to go in first.
Long Lingnan felt itchy and touched Long Haoyu's long horns, which were already beginning to show their prominence. Then, she took Long Zixuan's hand and crawled into the narrow cave through the green vines.
The cave was pitch black, but for Long Lingnan and the other two who had night vision, this was not a problem.
The rough stone walls were covered with mosses, and the soil underfoot was inexplicably damp. As she walked down step by step, Long Lingnan's ears moved, and she seemed to hear the sound of gurgling water.
What is deep inside this cave?
No one made a sound. They kept going down. After walking for hundreds of meters, they could see a faint light in the distance, and... the sound of slowly flowing wind.
Finally reaching the end, it suddenly became clear that this was the intersection of an underground river!
The winding underground river gurgles by, like the Milky Way in the sky hanging upside down underground, calm and mysterious, extending in all directions and leading to nowhere.
On the shore, the golden snake was waiting quietly. Seeing two people and one dragon coming out of the entrance, it waved its tail and pointed at the underground river next to it, meaning that it was time to go into the water.
To be honest, this road is really long, but now that we have come this far, there is no reason to give up halfway.
Thinking of this, Long Lingnan nodded slightly to the golden snake. The golden snake also shook its head up and down, then dived and jumped into the dark river.
Long Lingnan also jumped into the icy river. The moment she entered the water, she transformed into a golden dragon, following the golden snake.
The surface of this underground river is as calm as a mirror, but underneath it is a turbulent undercurrent. If it were not for the fact that the real dragon was born in water and was good at swimming, it would have been swept away by the surging undercurrent long ago. Here, even the best divers would not dare to dive easily due to the complex water conditions.
Deep in the river full of rapids, a long golden snake swims. Behind it, three majestic real dragons follow not too far away. The fish in the river are intimidated by the real dragons' pressure and dare not get too close, but are attracted by their nature and are unwilling to leave, so they have to follow behind from a distance.
If someone is lucky enough to see it, they will be amazed at this magnificent sight. Natural enemies on the same food chain can coexist peacefully here, in groups and in an orderly manner.
Long Lingnan swung her body happily, enjoying the rare freedom. Living in modern society, she rarely had the opportunity to stretch her body so freely.
The gentle current caressed her body, and her natural sensitivity to the sea told her that they had now left the dark river area and flowed into the deep sea.
They followed the golden snake through the underwater tunnel and swam through the colorful underwater world. Huge manta rays leisurely flew over their heads. Unfortunately, Long Lingnan didn't have time to take another look at the magnificence of the underwater world, but in just that moment, the gorgeous corner of the sea was deeply imprinted in her memory.
She leaped out of the water, and the scattered water droplets reflected colorful light under the illumination of the night pearl on the top of the cave.
Long Lingnan fell to the ground, shook off the water stains on his body, and turned into a human form, looking at the scene in front of him in shock.
Inside this huge and wide cave, there was a huge skeleton of an unknown creature, which filled the entire cave.
She stepped forward and stroked the jade-like white bones with her hands. She could feel the lingering magic contained in them. The remaining aura told her that these bones were at least a thousand years old.
This is definitely a creature from the Longming Realm!
Long Lingnan's eyes darkened little by little. This meant that creatures from the Longming Realm had come to the present world at least a thousand years ago. But why, as the princess of Dayao Kingdom, she did not find any trace of modern times in the royal books? This should not be right.
"Royal sister, what are you thinking about? They have all gone far away."
Long Zixuan came over and didn't understand what was so good about the bones.
Long Lingnan withdrew his hand and followed the golden snake with a heavy heart. They entered the skeleton that looked like a head and walked on the bones. Although these bones had gone through thousands of years and all the power had dissipated, they were still as hard as steel. When people walked on them, they made a clanging sound.
Hiss——
The golden snake stuck out its tongue and pushed aside the grass leaves that it had gotten from somewhere, revealing three crystal white snake eggs underneath. It looked at the three people in front of it with loving and pleading eyes.
But Long Lingnan had no time to pay attention to it. She stared blankly with her eyes wide open at the golden bead as big as a basketball next to the snake egg.
This, this is the inner elixir of the Warcraft!
She couldn't help but take a step forward, picked up the golden bead and examined it carefully. The aura in the golden bead and the aura remaining on the bones were integrated into one. It must have been cultivated by the owner of the bones during his lifetime.
The inner elixir can only be produced after reaching a certain level of cultivation. Correspondingly, the dragon race is born with dragon balls.
But from this, we can see that the owner of the inner elixir must have been a powerful person in his lifetime, and was only a step away from truly transforming into a dragon. However, such a powerful person fell in the present world without any magical power!
How strange and bizarre.
Long Lingnan held the golden bead with a look of surprise and confusion. Although she now understood why the golden snake had a trace of dragon blood, it must be because it absorbed the essence of the inner elixir day and night, but the bigger mystery that followed almost knocked her out.
This is not a problem of the same magnitude.
"Alright," Long Haoyu took the inner elixir from Long Lingnan's arms, "Why does the kid look so serious?"
"But, brother...!" Long Lingnan said anxiously.
Long Haoyu smiled lazily, not really caring: "So many years have passed and nothing has happened. How come it's your turn as a child to think about these problems now?"
"Besides," he turned Long Lingnan's head towards the anxious Golden Snake and raised his chin, "the reason we came here in the first place hasn't been resolved yet."
