In the silent underground space, dust suddenly fell from the top of the cave.
Next, the melted soil began to flow down like thick lava.
A head poked out from the large hole that was burned.
He quickly scanned the area below, taking in the entire cave, and then said in a surprised tone:
“There’s actually an underground cave here?”
Immediately afterwards, another head popped out from under his armpit.
"Really?" the little fox was also shocked, "What a big space!"
Her ears moved curiously, making Long Long's neck extremely itchy.
Then came out the brother and sister Qin Zhou and Qin Ye, they looked down in surprise.
"This place doesn't look like it was formed naturally." Qin Ye said, "Look at the traces below."
Long Long followed her gaze and looked down, and saw a huge, flat slope near the edge of the bottom of the cave.
If it were any other monster tribe, they probably wouldn't know what this meant, but the four people present, except Dragon Fox, almost all understood it instantly.
Those are the traces of the Scale Clan crawling.
The scale tribe's body is covered with scales, and when they crawl, small gravel and stones are often vibrated and stuck in the gaps between the scales, which is very uncomfortable. Therefore, in the areas where the scale tribe lives, there are often more roads and fewer steps, and small gravel and stones are removed in advance.
In the cave below, the slope is not only flat and without any edges, but also clean and without any gravel or pebbles, indicating that the scaly people must have lived here for a long time.
"Are we going down, Longlong?" Longhu asked excitedly.
She saw that at the end of the ramp was the corner of a cave passage. It was obvious that this underground cave was not the end here, and there seemed to be another world deep inside.
"We..." Long Long just said one sentence, and suddenly said in surprise, "Everyone retreat immediately and keep quiet!"
Although everyone didn't understand why, Long Long was the leader of the team after all, so they naturally did as he said subconsciously.
After retreating to the cave entrance, about ten breaths later, a faint male voice came from a distance:
"...The former Jiaolong Emperor built a large number of underground fortresses deep underground in Nanzhou."
"The emperor's vision is indeed unique. You know, the Feathered Tribe relies heavily on flying and is not good at fighting in the small space underground."
"All of these fortresses are at least a hundred feet deep underground. Ordinary Taoist magic cannot reach here. Even if the Feather Clan discovers them, they can only send monks to destroy them. At that time, these interconnected caves, intricate corridors and corners will bring terrible nightmares to the Feather Clan monks."
"Unfortunately, the Dragon Emperor fell directly into the human world before he could actually take action against the Southern Province Feather Clan."
"With the decline and retreat of the Jiaolong clan, a large number of fortresses deep underground in Nanzhou have completely disappeared from historical records..."
The sound of conversation gradually became clearer, passing under the cave entrance where everyone was hiding, and gradually moving towards the depths.
"Lü Yan, I don't know nor am I interested in the origin of this underground fortress. Can you promise to use this place to help us defeat the Yu Clan rebels?"
This time it was a female voice that was heard. Long Long and Long Hu heard it clearly. It was clearly the Queen Lu Ya.
"How can victory be guaranteed in military matters?" the man said calmly and carefully, "But if we can use these underground fortresses well, we should be able to deal a fatal blow to the Feather Tribe at a critical moment."
"I will leave this matter to you. How long will it take for the results to be seen?" The female voice seemed impatient.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. We must first explore these fortresses thoroughly, and then send monks to garrison and hide troops." The male voice continued to persuade, "Since this fortress was built by the Dragon Emperor, I think it may contain a lot of key information about the ancient dragon clan."
"Now the Feather Tribe and the Dragon Tribe are both our enemies. If we can sort out this information, we might be able to find crucial intelligence from it..."
The female voice was obviously very dissatisfied with the words "should", "maybe", "maybe" and so on that the male voice said, and her tone was also filled with annoyance and warning:
"Lü Yan, don't let me and my father down."
The sound gradually faded away until it disappeared completely, and then everyone carefully poked their heads out from the top of the cave.
"If this place was really built by the Dragon Emperor in the past, then it must not fall into Qilin's hands!" Qin Zhou said anxiously, "Long Long, we have to quickly inform the tribe of this information!"
If hearing the previous "use it to defeat the Feather Clan" just made Qin Zhou frown, then the following "key information of the ancient dragon clan" made him completely unable to remain calm.
"Don't worry, brother. Long Long will definitely find a way." Although Qin Ye was also nervous, he remained calm and persuaded, "Even if we have to tell the clan, we have to escape from here first."
Everyone looked at Long Long and saw that he was also frowning. For the moment they didn't want to rush him and disturb his thoughts.
Long Long listened to what the Qin brothers and sisters said and sneered in his heart:
How difficult is it to get out of here? Don't enter this cave, just turn around and choose a direction to dig out.
However, Long Long was also very interested in what Lu Yan called "key information about the ancient dragon clan."
The reason for setting up this small account was to send Dragon Fox to the North Ming Netherworld and find a way to resolve the blood conflict in her body, so as to take away the fragment of the Sky-Budding Stone that sealed her dragon bloodline.
There are two problems at present. First, it is difficult to get away from the East State Dragon Clan and go to the North State. The Canglong Clan is still wary of the Jiaolong survivors. In addition, the fragrance of Long Long's blood and the noble status behind the dragon fox will never allow this to happen.
Secondly, the location and entry method of Beiming Fanyang are unknown. Even though Long Long has already got in touch with Shi Yao and recognized them as master and disciple, the other party does not fully trust him and has never provided any information in this regard.
What if the "key information" hidden here contains information about Beiming Fanyang?
If you explore and search by yourself, you can get first-hand information; if the tribe comes and seals off this place, you won’t be able to see a single word.
"Qin Zhou is right." He pondered for a long time, then said calmly, "We must tell the tribe about this... but do you think the tribe will believe it?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Zhou was a little confused when he heard it.
Given our status, how could the tribe not believe what we say?
"Don't forget, all the information we got came from Lu Yan's mouth." Long Long sighed and said, "We have never seen the real 'underground fortress', right?"
"Given the ancestor's cautious character, he must have considered the possibility that Lu Yan had already noticed our presence and deliberately said the above words to trick us into sending back false information, luring the dragon clan to this underground cave, and then catching them all in one fell swoop."
Lv Yan is the new demon king ancestor of the White Tiger clan, and is also a famous military god throughout the Western Province. He is known for his wisdom and strategies. After Long Long's reminder, Qin Zhou also reacted and nodded heavily.
"That is to say, we must at least explore this underground cave." Long Long said with a persistent expression and a firm tone, "If we can find some ancient historical materials, it will not only verify what Lu Yan said, but also make the tribe pay more attention to this matter."
Perhaps it was the persistence, confidence, determination and spiritual suggestion in his tone that infected and inspired the Qin brothers and sisters. After a brief discussion, everyone quickly reached a consensus.
Follow Lu Yan and Lu Ya and continue exploring this cave!
