Chapter 21 Inheritance (Happy New Year's Eve)



Looking around, there were only rotten bones, but there were also solid bones of animals that had died not long ago, and even some rotten flesh that had not been completely maggoted and attached to them.

"This is the Sting Dragon Cemetery!"

"But why are we here? According to experience, we shouldn't have crossed paths at all."

The sting dragon, as its name suggests, is not only huge in size, but also has strength and destructive power far exceeding that of crocodiles and other creatures. It is a dominant species on the outskirts of the island. It also has the most powerful weapon - poison!

With sharp fangs and a bloody mouth, anyone bitten by it will be paralyzed immediately, no matter what level of species, even monks will lose their strength in an instant and become food for the sting dragon.

Chu You and his companions are now in the graveyard of such peripheral overlords.

According to the records in the booklet, this cemetery is in the northeast corner of the island, and they landed on the island in the southeast. Although the distance is not far, they walked towards the southwest after landing on the island.

We were traveling from all corners of the world, and should have been walking further and further away, but now we had stepped directly into this cemetery!

"Is it a misjudgment of direction?"

"Or is there something wrong with the direction of Dead Leaf Island?"

The two questions seem to be the same, but they are actually different. The first one says that they themselves were affected by the fog and made misjudgments, thus stepping into a dangerous forbidden area in terms of experience.

The second one is not so simple. This Dead Leaf Island, in addition to being disturbed by fog, can also move and change direction on its own!

The people who had just landed on the island in the right direction ended up going in the wrong direction as they walked. It was like they had entered a moving maze, and they had no control over many things.

"Impossible! Although we haven't set foot inside Dead Leaf Island, many of my fellow disciples who have been outside it have never heard of the island moving. Could it be that it has changed because of us?"

So it is definitely the first type, misjudgment of direction!

While Liu Hongjie was troubleshooting the problem, Chu You and Qingshan's group were constantly using their spiritual power to stay alert to everything around them.

The cemetery is a dead place, but who knows if there are any living things here.

An old, dying sting dragon, or a strong, starving sting dragon that came here to look for food...

After all, they are monsters without any intelligence, and they act on instinct. As long as there is food, their own kind will also take action. Of course, if they find their group of people, that would be the most ready-made food.

"Trouble..." Chu You muttered in a low voice. Because his perception range was twice as large as theirs, he was the first to discover it, and he frowned.

But before Li Bingwen and Wan Shuo, who were traveling with them, could ask, they knew what the trouble was...

"roar……"

His voice was low, soft and weak, like a man in his seventies, staggering along, lamenting the youthful vigor and ambition of his youth.

Now there are only endless sighs...

Although it was just the low roar of a demon beast, everyone could sense the emotion within it. Perhaps it was the influence of spiritual energy that caused the demon beast to mutate...

"A sting dragon! An old sting dragon!"

"Being able to resonate with others' emotions is a sign of the imminent awakening of spiritual wisdom... Unfortunately, time is merciless, and this is ultimately just wishful thinking!"

There is no need to judge anymore. At the end of the fog, you can see a dinosaur crawling on the ground, still tens of meters tall. It seems weak and unable to get up. The roar just now has used up its last bit of strength!

A group of people approached the old poisonous sting dragon, which was as small as an ant. However, facing such an ant, with a ferocious appearance, sharp teeth and claws, which could be solved with just a light wave, the old dragon could only watch.

Because it is not only old, but also has traces of battles all over its body. Some of the wounds have been smoothed out by time and turned into old scars, while some of the wounds are too severe. After many years, they have not improved and have become hidden diseases that affect its activities.

These scars are the glory of the past and the end of the present!

When I was young and strong, I could squander my wealth and enjoy my power. But now that I am old and dying, these are no longer honors, but a deadly burden.

But it never regretted it, because such scars all over the body are a complete dragon life.

Even though it takes a lot of effort to open my eyes now, and I am not a threat to this world or the people in front of me, it is still glorious.

"Instead of slowly dying of old age, I'd rather give you a quick death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Qiang raised his sword and struck it with a hand sword wrapped in spiritual power, extinguishing the life of the poisonous sting dragon through the air.

“…”

It was so quick and decisive that neither the old poisonous dragon nor his companions could react.

But then he accepted it calmly. Just like he said, it would be better to end it all once and for all than to die slowly in agony.

Everything will age, whether it is a cultivator, a monster, an alien race, or even the will of the earth... it's just that the definition of the length of time is different!

There are people in this world who pursue true immortality, but no one has ever succeeded, and perhaps no one will ever succeed, because no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

It is not impossible that after living for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years, it suddenly ends. Maybe it will last a little longer, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years...

Who else knows this except himself?

And this is not really immortality, after all, who knows if it will ever end...

But from another perspective, it is better not to have immortality.

All things wither and die, time repeats itself!

Just like the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, which alternate with each other, so do people. Only with alternation and reincarnation can there be education and inheritance.

If I could truly live forever, what would be the point of all this...

But these have nothing to do with this old sting dragon, because it has reached the end of its life, the time of withering!
