Chapter 157 - : We Can’t Let Him Get Away
Chapter 157: We Can’t Let Him Get Away
The dragon race had long disappeared into the long river of history. Even if they had left behind their descendants, their bloodlines had long been mottled after so many years. It was said that they were the dragon clan, but to put it bluntly, they were just false dragons.
There were no more pure-blooded dragons in the world. From the relevant records in the ancient books, it could be seen that they were powerful, even to the extent of being able to call the wind and summon the rain. After all, up until now, if there were any factors that were related to dragons, all of them were powerful demonic beasts.
What’s more, dragons were divine beasts. Now that the legendary creatures were right in front of them, the powerful aura they displayed was extremely shocking. Compared to them, they were insignificant. People always had some fear of the existence of unknown things.
There was a moment of silence in the air. No one spoke.
Boom!
As If the sky and earth were collapsing, everyone shook. It turned out that the huge dragon bones were crumbling. The power of a thousand years could not corrode it. Moreover, it was still continuously emitting a huge pressure that intimidated everyone. Now, it was slowly dissipating before their eyes.
Previously, everyone thought that no matter how the world changed, this dragon skeleton would always exist. After all, it looked so powerful that even death could not affect it in the slightest.
Who would have thought that such unpredictable things would be happening now?
Everyone was lost in their thoughts as they watched. However, they realized that the power of the dragon bones’ dissipation was slowly seeping into the golden dragon in front of them. The dissipation of things gave birth to a new life. It was like the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.
The ground shook even more violently. Many people fell to the side and almost fell to the ground.
“This is bad. I’m afraid that this place is going to collapse. We have to leave quickly!”
Only then did everyone remember that the endless mountain range in the vicinity was built on the dragon bones. If the dragon bones were to disappear, would the mountain range still be necessary?
Compared to the tremors that came from the ground earlier, it was a sign of collapse. Fortunately, the formation here had disappeared. Otherwise, everyone would have been trapped here.
The stone dragon hidden in the void looked at everything that happened before its eyes. A confused expression appeared on its face. It could not figure out how things had turned out like this. Its mood was somewhat inexplicably sad and heavy.
It said with a sense of loss, “Long Tian, I didn’t expect to see you again in my lifetime. If this is your choice, then I will respect it…”
The stone dragon also thought that Long Tian had disappeared from the world a long time ago, but it did not expect that they would actually meet again after a thousand years.
“Fate is unpredictable. Now, one of us has become a remnant soul, and what has the other become?”
These words were like a switch. The sealed memories slowly revealed a mysterious corner. The stone dragon’s expression froze, as if it had violated a forbidden area, and thus fell into chaos.
The dragon’s eyes actually became foggy, losing its previous intelligence. Its entire body was filled with a strange, incomparably stiff, and an indescribable gray fog began to spread. Golden scales could faintly be seen flashing past, then, it covered its entire body.
It looked like a ‘real’ dragon that had been transformed from stone.
After a moment, it returned to normal.
“Why can’t I remember it all of a sudden? It seems like there’s an extremely important part missing in my memory. Am I not the stone dragon that’s in charge of guarding? Who is Long Tian? This name is so familiar. Is it because I’ve been asleep for too long that my memory is somewhat chaotic?”
“Looks like I can’t leave the gate for too long. I have to hurry back…”
The stone dragon slowly turned around. For some unknown reason, it subconsciously looked at the mountain range again. It actually felt a little reluctant.
“It’s really too strange.”
As it muttered to itself, the stone dragon’s figure completely disappeared into the air.
Little Jin also glanced at the spot where it disappeared.
The surrounding destructive power became more and more intense, to the extent that Gu Xi had overlooked the strange power that came from the void. It was brought about by the transformation of the stone dragon.
Gu Xi did not pay attention to it. Looking at the retreating large group, he also wanted to leave.
Little Jin came in front of him, and Gu Xi instantly understood what it wanted.
At the same time, everyone finally ran out of the mountain range.
Rumble!
A loud sound came from behind, and dust flew in all directions. It was as if the sky and earth were about to collapse. Everyone still had lingering fear in their hearts, but fortunately, they ran quickly.
Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, a huge golden dragon flew in the air, and a human figure could be seen on the dragon’s head.
Everyone raised their heads to look, especially Meng Hang, whose eyes emitted a shocking hatred. He hated Gu Xi to the extreme.
“We can’t let him escape! He must have a treasure in his hands. Otherwise, how could the skeleton just now have disappeared without a reason? Even this dragon listens to him!”
What they did not know was that Little Jin was Gu Xi’s contracted beast to begin with. Moreover, the things that Gu Xi had obtained were even more significant than they had imagined.
Everyone woke up from their dreams. For a moment, their eyes burst out with a fiery light. If Gu Xi died, would it mean that the golden dragon would choose a new master?
One had to know that the dragon race was an extremely proud race. It would not let anyone stand on their heads unless it was their master, but Gu Xi had done it.
If it meant that Gu Xi died, they also had this opportunity. No matter what the truth was, they could not let Gu Xi go so easily.
For a moment, countless amounts of spiritual power appeared in the air. There were even all sorts of treasures that emitted a powerful pressure, wanting to block Gu Xi’s path.
However, Little Jin had just received Long Tian’s inheritance and had used up the energy accumulated by his bones. Even if he had fallen for a thousand years, it was still not something an ordinary person could imagine. The pressure on his body was at its peak, and he spat out a mouthful of dragon’s breath.
It was as if a volcano had erupted, and the majestic pressure came right at them. Their spiritual power appeared to be extremely weak, and all of the divine light instantly became extremely dim.
Even those top-grade magical treasures were melted in an instant, and they became like scrap metal. For a moment, they fell to the ground with crackling sounds.
