The Red Dragon Emperor from Douluo Continent

The door of the guest room was opened, and a girl with long brown hair tied into a braid walked in.

"Selka, why are you here? And... what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the girl with red eyes, Long Cheng asked with concern, after nine months of getting along, Long Cheng already regarded her as a younger sister.

"It's nothing, just...let me stay for a while." Selka sat beside Long Cheng and whispered.

"Hey, Long Cheng, sister Alice was taken away by integrity knights because she entered the Dark Continent."

"Hmm... I heard Eugeo mention it... Selka, don't do anything stupid." Sensing that the girl's state was not quite right, Long Cheng hurriedly dissuaded her.

"I won't break the taboo list." Selka replied with a chuckle, but Long Cheng still felt something was wrong.

"Yeah... that's fine.

By the way, Selka, this is for you. "

Long Cheng took out a silver cross pendant from his pocket. There was a ring around the cross, and a purple-gold crystal in the center, which seemed to be flickering with fire.

This is a prop made by Long Cheng just now. It is sealed with a trace of holy fire from [Ziyan Priest's Jietai], which can protect Selka in critical moments.

"This is too expensive." Selka refused.

"Take it as a thank you gift for taking care of me for nine months. If you don't want it, I can just throw it away." Long Cheng touched Selka's head and said with a smile.

"I see, I accept it...thank you." Selka took the pendant and ran to the door of the room.

"Thank you, Longcheng, good night." After speaking, Selka closed the door and returned to his room.

"Good night, Selka."

……

the next morning

As always, he practiced on the grass outside the church, but it was different from before.

Today, after Long Cheng finished training, Selka still didn't get up.Even if it was the Sabbath, Long Cheng had never seen her stay in bed.

At about five o'clock, Sister Azalia came out with a serious face.

"Good morning, nun."

"Good morning."

Sister Azalia is wearing a neat nun dress, with a serious expression and glasses that further accentuate her stern aura.

"That... nun... have you seen Selka... usually he should have woken up at this time." Long Cheng asked calmly. Although he had some guesses in his heart, it would be better for the nun to confirm.

"Selka...is gone."

Sister Azalia hesitated for a moment, then replied worriedly.

"Could it be to buy ingredients for breakfast?"

"That was bought yesterday evening."

"Then...will you go home? After all, today is the Sabbath, and I have never seen her go home before."

"Selka has been here for two years...and has never returned home..."

"I understand, leave it to me. I will find Selka, Sister Azalia, and I will trouble you to take care of the children."

After finishing speaking, Long Cheng went to the second floor of the church, pulled Kirito up, and ran towards Eugeo's house.

After finding Eugeo, Longcheng told the two of the general situation of the matter, and then ran towards the cave in the north without stopping.

"The time I woke up was around four o'clock in the morning. Selka probably woke up at least an hour earlier than me."

"It's already six o'clock. At that time, Alice and I walked for five hours to reach the cave in the north. According to the time, Selka had already walked at least half of the distance. Even if we chased it right away, we don't know if we can catch up."

"Then let's go quickly."

"In this case... Kirito, Eugeo, hurry up and catch up. I'll take a step first and see if it's too late."

After finishing speaking, Long Cheng's legs shimmered with a real red light, and then disappeared from their sight under the disbelieving eyes of the two.

This is just the most basic application of mind skills - movement speed expansion.

Like performing the peerless lightness kung fu in a martial arts novel, Long Cheng tossed and turned on the canopy of the forest, leaping tens of meters, walking towards the endless gray-white mountains.

The purpose of this time is to test Kirito and Eugeo, Longcheng only needs to ensure the safety of Selka.

About an hour later, the woods under his feet had disappeared and turned into gravel, and not far away was a wall formed by gray-white rocks that could not be seen at a glance.

The rocks are covered with thin snow from a height that can almost be touched by hand, and there is a pure white light near the towering mountain top.

In front of Longcheng was a huge cave, from which clear water mixed with crushed ice slowly flowed out.

Without any hesitation, Long Cheng strode in.

The darkness in the tunnel could not interfere with Long Cheng's sight at all. After walking for a few minutes, the temperature gradually dropped, and a deep blue light appeared in front of Long Cheng's eyes.

After leaving the darkness, what appeared in Long Cheng's eyes... were ice crystals covering the sky, the surrounding rock walls above his head were covered by light blue thin ice, and a huge ice lake was under his feet.

There are gold and silver treasures everywhere, slightly worn-out weapons, the skeleton of an ice-blue dragon that has been dead for an unknown amount of time, and...

"Selka...you are really easy for me to find."
