After a series of friendly (and sometimes coercive) conversations, Burns shakily led the group out of his office and headed toward his slave market.
At this moment, regardless of whether what Ye Zhen and the others said was true or false, he could only believe it as true.
While Ye Zhen was having "friendly" exchanges, Ye Xi had finally made contact with the territory.
As they melted the glacier and explored the Dragon God's lair, before they had completely melted the glacier, spatial fluctuations were already emanating from around them.
Ye Xi took out a spatial crystal, which was a locator that Mina had placed on her beforehand. With this locator, she only needed to spend a little time to open a spatial passage and go directly to Ye Xi's side.
"Finally found you! Ouch~~~ So cold, so cold!" A huge spatial rift appeared, and Mina's petite body leaped out, then she stomped her feet in cold.
Although the Xuan Birds and Bifangs are using high temperatures to melt the snow here, the actual temperature is still much lower than in their territory, and the sudden temperature difference makes the little guy very uncomfortable.
A warm flame enveloped her, which made her feel much better. When she looked up, she saw the gentle face of the Black Bird.
"We are at the top of a snow-capped mountain, and we are melting snow. This might be a dragon god's lair!" Ye Xi explained with a smile, which was also a way of relaying a message to Ye Chen through Mina.
"Wow, the Dragon God's lair! There must be lots of treasures there! I'm going to tell the Lord about this!" Mina exclaimed excitedly.
"We've already contacted the original inhabitants here. Ye Zhen and the others are gathering wealth and people in the city. We'll need your help to open the passage later and bring them back!" Ye Xi continued. Mina, who can open spatial passages, is the key figure in transferring people from this world. Without her, even if Ye Xi and the others acquire a lot of resources, they will only be trapped in this world.
“Alright! This space crystal is for you. I’ve already locked the coordinates of the territory. Once you’re ready, just crush it to open a passage back to the territory!” Mina said, handing Ye Xi another crystal, which was their key to return to the territory.
Ye Xi carefully put the items away and then continued to wait for the glacier to melt. It wasn't until nightfall that the thick glacier finally reached its bottom. However, Ye Xi paused when he saw the treasures beneath the ice.
Not to mention the gold and jewels scattered everywhere, there were countless golden armors, holy grails, and other such items. In one corner, there were even a large number of books, emanating faint magical fluctuations.
It can be said that the entire dragon's lair was paved with these rare items. Even the magic books survived the millennia-old glaciers without any damage, which shows how extraordinary these books are.
Moreover, as the last bit of glacier melted, the group stepped onto the jewels scattered across the ground, and for a moment they were unaware of just how thick the pile of treasures beneath their feet was. It felt as if the entire ground beneath them was paved with gold.
"This? Should I go back and call some people over? Otherwise, it will take us a long time to move all this stuff, won't it?" Mina, who hadn't left yet, said in shock. She had never seen such a huge fortune before.
"No rush!" Ye Xi shook his head, his gaze fixed on a dragon egg in the center of the nest.
As the glacier melted, she actually felt the pulse of life within the dragon egg. The dragon egg, buried for thousands of years, was reborn with the unsealing of the dragon god's nest.
"No, it's not just dragon eggs!" Ye Xi's gaze swept around, and the rock walls were covered with images of the dragon race's past. The familiar scenes made her shudder. This was the aura of civilization, a civilization unique to the dragon race.
"A living dragon egg, a spark of dragon civilization!" Ye Xi murmured softly, marveling at the fruits of his labor.
She never expected that the Dragon God of this world, upon his fall, would leave behind offspring and a spark of civilization in his lair to ensure the continuation of the entire dragon race.
"Everyone, step back a bit. There's a spark of civilization here. Mina, take it back and give it to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!" Ye Xi said in a deep voice. This thing was too important; she didn't want to wander around this world with it.
"The spark of civilization? Okay!" Mina gasped and immediately nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing Ye Xi's words, everyone immediately scattered, clearing out the space in the Dragon God's Nest. After everything was ready, Ye Xi began to use the secret techniques of the territory to collect the seeds of civilization from this place.
This secret technique is known to all lair clans, and can also be taught to other clans by their lords. It can condense the seeds of civilization in places with a legacy of civilization, which the lord can then load into a lair clan, adding a new clan to the territory.
"Roar~~~" As Ye Xi moved, a series of dragon roars resounded in the Dragon God Mountain Range, and a terrifying dragon might descended from the sky, pressing down on Ye Xi and the others.
However, none of the people present were ordinary. Apart from the goblins and fire crows who needed protection, the rest, whether they were the black birds, the Bifang, the moon goddess, or even the witch clan, were all the strongest races in the world. Facing the oppressive power of a giant dragon, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they were inspired by the strongest will in their bloodline and constantly tempered their minds under the dragon's might.
"Boom~~~" However, the dragon's roar was only the beginning. As Ye Xi continued to collect the flames of civilization, the entire Dragon God Mountain Range trembled slightly. The dragon creatures in the mountain range prostrated themselves on the ground, their eyes filled with horror as they roared in the direction of the main peak.
"Take it away!" Ye Xi roared, enduring the terrifying pressure of the dragon's might.
In an instant, a large number of streams of light appeared and converged towards Ye Xi's palm. A flame was condensing in her hand, within which the faint phantom of a giant dragon was roaring.
"Boom~~~" As the spark of civilization coalesced, a tremendous tremor resounded throughout the Dragon God Mountain Range, and even a small volcano that had been dormant for many years in the distance erupted.
What Ye Xi took away this time was not only the spark of civilization of the Dragon God Clan, but also the destiny of this world. The disappearance of the Dragon Clan's civilization will only hasten the destruction of this world.
"Send this back to the lord, then gather a group of people to transport the treasures back here!" Ye Xi took out a specially made box, sealed the spark of civilization in his hand, and handed it to Mina before speaking.
She had already collected the traces of civilization, but the treasures here were still real. The gold coins and treasures scattered throughout the dragon's lair were too much for just a few of them to carry back!
