The palace is very big, and it took the cubs half a day to tour the palace. Of course, they were mainly interested in the dragon on the dragon pillar.
But what interested them most was the blue dragon that looked exactly like their father.
The three cubs stood under the Green Dragon Pillar and touched the dragon's tail at the bottom.
The rare jade-carved blue dragon does not feel cold to the touch, but rather warm and moist, making one unable to let go.
"If it were smaller, I could take it back to show my father." The little dragon cub said with some regret.
"Perhaps you could bring your father, cub."
"Yes, I can bring my father over to see it..." the little dragon cub said subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that the voice was unfamiliar.
The other three cubs also heard it. Ao Xiaomo, who was watching the Black Dragon Pillar on the other side, reacted immediately and turned around and ran to his friends.
"Who... who is talking?" The little dragon took a few steps back and leaned close to his little friend, pretending to be calm.
The other cubs also looked around vigilantly.
"Look up, cub." Cixi's voice rang out again.
Hearing the strange voice, the boys subconsciously looked up, and when they looked up, they saw the Qinglong on the dragon pillar looking down at them.
The dragon statue originally carved on the dragon pillar seemed to come alive, circling around the pillar.
"Ah!" Seeing the big dragon come back to life, the cubs cried out in surprise subconsciously and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Then he looked up and saw that the dragons on the other dragon pillars had all come to life, turning their heads to look at them.
The four cubs huddled together, shivering, like lambs to be slaughtered.
"Have the bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix cubs been mixed to this extent now?" The golden dragon circled around the dragon pillar for a few times, then stopped on it and looked at the cubs in the middle of the palace.
"I don't think so..." The ice dragon moved its body, "They should have been broken into by external forces in advance, and they look a little stunted."
I didn't know what they were talking about, but the cubs were tactful and didn't say anything. However, they also felt that the gazes falling on them were gentle and kind.
Moreover, based on their dragon appearance alone, the cubs had a very good first impression of them.
"Children, where are your parents?" Qinglong, who spoke first, spoke again.
Seeing that Qinglong resembled his father, the little dragon took a liking to him.
"What are parents?" the little dragon asked curiously, "But we have a father and a daddy, and they are sleeping now."
"Then how did you get here?" Qinglong asked patiently.
"this……"
Hearing Qinglong's question, the cubs suddenly remembered their father's words telling them not to run around, and they immediately felt guilty.
When they saw the cubs' little movements, they knew that these cubs had sneaked out.
After a few questions and answers, the fear in the cubs' hearts disappeared.
Among them, Feng Xiaojin was the bravest. He ran to the golden dragon whose hair was the same color as his.
"You are also golden..." Feng Xiaojin looked up at the golden dragon with envy, and reached out to carefully touch his dragon tail. "I am golden like you, why don't I have horns and a tail?"
Although I heard Yanyan say that this was a genetic mutation, he had feathers like his father.
But Feng Xiaojin actually likes his father's appearance more. When he grows up, he can become tall and mighty, and when fighting with monsters, he can just flick his tail and knock them away.
“What do you, a young phoenix cub, need dragon horns and tails for?” The golden dragon circled around the dragon pillar, changed direction, and swam downstream.
The phoenix tribe has always been proud and loves its own phoenix feathers. They even look down on the cold and hard dragon scales of the dragon tribe.
Now, a phoenix cub actually asked why he didn't have dragon horns and a dragon tail. The golden dragon couldn't help but become curious about this cub.
"A phoenix cub? I'm not. My father is a giant green dragon. I'm a dragon cub!" Feng Xiaojin retorted with a puffed face.
The other dragons on the dragon pillars naturally also heard Feng Xiaojin's words.
The purple dragon moved its body, "It seems that these cubs are not only underdeveloped, but also failed to inherit the heritage of the dragon and phoenix tribes."
After hearing Feng Xiaojin's words, the fire dragon swam under the dragon pillar and stopped at a distance of one meter.
"What about you, little cub? Do you want dragon horns and tails too?" A low voice suddenly came from above his head. Feng Xiaohong was so scared that he screamed and took a few steps back, his eyes red.
The silver dragon on the right looked at the fire dragon with reproachful eyes, "Fire dragon, you scared the cubs."
Seeing the red-haired cub still had some fear in his eyes, the dragon coughed lightly. "I didn't know this cub was so timid."
After hearing the conversation between the silver dragon and the fire dragon, Feng Xiaohong suddenly felt less scared.
"I... I like my father's dragon horns and tail, but I like the same fur as daddy even more." Feng Xiaohong raised her hand and touched the phoenix feather at the corner of her eye, and said softly.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the black dragon's side. They turned their heads to look and found that it was the black dragon cub and the black dragon who were quarreling.
Of course, it was the black dragon cub that refuted angrily unilaterally, and the black dragon seemed a little helpless.
"What's wrong?" Qinglong asked.
Hearing Qinglong's question, Heilong had to explain to him.
After a long while, after listening to the black dragon's explanation, the other dragons also looked helpless.
Not only were these cubs stunted and failed to inherit the genes, they also had misconceptions about their own race and parents.
From the black dragon cubs' rebuttal, we learned that their father was the Azure Dragon and their daddy was the White Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan.
Look at the four of them, a green dragon cub, a black dragon cub, a golden phoenix cub, and a red phoenix cub.
Could this be a brother or sister?
impossible.
But the dragons also saw that these cubs were completely irrational when it came to their father and daddy, and it was impossible to reason with them.
Seeing that the cubs were about to get angry again, Qinglong stopped Heilong from continuing.
They have been guarding here for tens of thousands of years. It's rare for cubs to come here, so we can't let them get angry and leave.
There were many treasures in the palace, and in order to make the cubs happy, the dragons allowed them to take as much as they wanted.
Little dragons are interested in all things that are golden, while black dragons love all kinds of round objects.
As for Feng Xiaojin and Feng Xiaohong, they just flipped through them, played with them for a while, and then lost interest.
There are many doors in the palace, and all kinds of strange treasures are placed inside the doors. The cubs played here for many days.
After staying here for a few days, the cubs said goodbye to the dragon, fearing that their father would not be able to see them when he woke up.
Before leaving, the little dragon curiously asked Qinglong a question.
"Have you always been hanging on the dragon pillar?"
"Hahaha, we are the dragons on the dragon pillar. Where else should we hang on if not on it?" Zilong laughed.
"We are the dragon souls guarding the Dragon Tomb Palace, and we are naturally attached to the dragon pillars." Qinglong explained to them patiently.
When the cubs learned that the dragons were dead, their eyes became red.
Thinking of his father and dad, the little dragon felt a little scared, "Can dragons die too?"
"Yes." Qinglong replied.
"What about the phoenix? Will the phoenix die too?" the little dragon asked anxiously.
"Child, all life will come to the end, even a divine beast." Qinglong looked at him kindly.
After hearing what the giant dragon said, the little dragon couldn't help but burst into tears. "So... so my daddy is not sleeping, but... he can't wake up, right?"
The little dragon boy's words also made Feng Xiaohong break down emotionally. The red-haired Feng Xiao was crying silently, and soon the floor at her feet was wet.
The dragons had seen crying cubs before, but they were all rolling on the ground and crying loudly.
It was nothing like the way she was crying now, which made Long feel pity for her.
The giant dragons on the dragon pillar looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
In the end, it was Qinglong who spoke to comfort them, after all, he was the one who made these cubs cry.
However, is it so easy to comfort crying cubs? Especially since they just learned that their father is dead.
Seeing the four cubs crying more and more fiercely, the dragons began to feel a headache.
At this moment, Qinglong suddenly sensed that their savior had arrived.
"Children, your father is here."
As soon as Qinglong finished speaking, the palace door was pushed open.
The savior mentioned by the dragon was Ao Qing who had rushed over.
Ao Qing fell into a short sleep, and when he woke up he found that his cubs were gone.
He is the only one who can open the Dragon Cemetery, so the cubs must still be here.
Taking his Taoist partner with him, Ao Qing rushed to the only palace in the Dragon Tomb.
However, what Ao Qing did not expect was that as soon as he opened the palace door, he saw four cubs running towards him crying.
Being bullied?
But he remembered that these Dragon Soul elders all liked the cubs very much. It seemed impossible for them to bully the cubs, right?
"Why are you crying?" Ao Qing squatted down and saw that their noses were red from crying.
"Father...Father, daddy is...will not wake up?" The little dragon was very sad. He cried and hiccuped at the same time.
"Wow - I don't want my dad to die!" Feng Xiaojin grabbed his father's clothes and cried loudly with his head raised.
Feng Xiaohong had been crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
"It's all that bad guy's fault! If it weren't for him, Daddy wouldn't have died!"
I have to say that Feng Xiaojin did accidentally tell some truths.
"Father, can you rescue Daddy?" Ao Xiaomo, with tears in his eyes, looked at his father eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.
The other three cubs also heard Ao Xiaomo's words. They stopped crying and looked at their father expectantly.
To the cub, the father is omnipotent.
"Of course, your father will wake up soon." Seeing the expectation in the boys' eyes, Ao Qing nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
After hearing what their father said, the kids burst into laughter and said, "Father is the best!"
If the father says it is okay, then it is okay. None of the children doubt the truthfulness of his words.
Ao Qing breathed a sigh of relief after finally pacifying the cubs, and the other dragons on the dragon pillar also breathed a sigh of relief.
The arrival of their father makes the cubs feel more secure.
Looking at the cubs happily climbing up and down on the huge pair of dragon horns in the center of the palace, Ao Qing's cold brows softened a little.
"Are you the current Dragon King of the Dragon Clan?" Qinglong asked.
"That's right." Ao Qing nodded.
"Why is your dragon pill damaged?" The Ice Dragon at the side asked in confusion.
The dragon race's power comes from two sources: dragon horns and dragon pills, and once cracks appear in these two places, it is difficult for them to heal on their own.
If cracks appear in the dragon pill, it means that the dragon is close to death.
The Dragon Tomb is isolated from the outside world, so the dragon souls guarding the Dragon Tomb Palace naturally have no idea of the situation in the outside world.
Fortunately, the children were having fun, and Ao Qing stood aside and told them about the current situation in the outside world.
