Pick up the Dragon

On Kunlun Mountain, the sky is held high, and the ground below is connected to the ground. The wind of irregularity comes from the northwest, howling for years, chilling thousands of miles.

Before the first warm current could reach the vast northwestern land, several people had plunged from the warm Tengyang into the snow-covered Kunlun Mountains.

Peng Yu was blown all the way by the bitter north wind, and felt that the dragon's breath was not enough to keep out the cold, so he patted the dragon's back tremblingly: "I said, Kunlun Mountain is too big, what kind of white tiger claw... ... How big is it? Don't tell me we're looking for a tiny tiger paw in such a large area."

"I'm afraid it's more than that," Li Yi said, "We haven't contacted the White Tiger Clan for many years, and now we don't have any news about them, and we haven't heard of any White Tigers in recent years."

Peng Yu became worried when he heard it: "Then what should we do? Are we just looking around like headless chickens? Even if I can see through the disguise of that thing, I can't directly see the ground through the snow-capped mountains."

The dragon under the seat didn't answer any more, but Jiu Yuan suddenly came up: "My lord, I forgot to tell you that the ink dragon tribe sent a letter a few days ago, saying that they occasionally passed the sky over Kunlun recently, and seemed to have found the breath of the ink dragon king. But it disappeared again when I checked carefully. The West is not under their jurisdiction, and they dare not search rashly, asking us to pay attention if we have a chance.”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Yi glanced at him, "Where exactly is it?"

Jiu Yuan: "They can't tell where it is, but two months ago, a mountain in Kunlun suddenly cracked for no reason, and a crack that was tens of miles long and went straight to the ground appeared. It may be related to this."

Li Yi pondered for a moment, as if he felt that there was nowhere else to go except this only clue. Although it had nothing to do with the White Tiger Claw, it would be a good thing if he could really rescue King Molong.

So he flicked the dragon's tail lightly: "Go find it, we will divide into two groups."

The two dragons came out one from the left and the other from the right. Peng Yu folded his arms around his chest, and while searching for nothing in the same snowy peaks, he was bored with nothing to say: "What does the crack look like? Is it horizontal or vertical?" There are so many mountains, so many cracks, how do I know which one is the newest?"

He originally thought that the Dragon King was going to scold him for talking too much nonsense and told him to shut up quickly, but who would have thought that this guy would actually say kindly: "I don't know either, just rely on your intuition."

"...You're so casual," Peng Yu had no choice but to laugh, stretching out a finger out of respect, closing his eyes and dabbling in the air, "then let it be."

He opened his eyes and found that there was indeed a mountain where his fingertips pointed, and there was a crack as thin as a hair winding on the mountain.

The dragon under him suddenly lowered his altitude and swooped towards the crack.

"No way!" Peng Yu wailed, gripping the dragon's back tightly, "I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously!"

However, the Dragon King ignored him, recalled Jiuyuan with a roar, flew over the mountain very "seriously" and circled around, then found the entrance of the crack, and landed slowly.

Peng Yu: "..."

Li Yi stood with his hands behind his back facing the direction of the crack, and saw the mountains in the distance soaring into the clouds. Although the part of the crack exposed outside the mountain is not long, the trend is clearly heading towards the highest peak!

He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his feet and walked forward.

Peng Yu hurriedly chased after him. He didn't know how high the place was, but it was obviously not at the height of the year-round snow. The snow on the ground was not deep, and there were gray-black rocks under the snow.

He lowered his head to look at the footprints left by the four people. Sure enough, the footprints of the two dragons were much deeper than those of the two people. The one left by Jiuyuan was especially deep, and almost every foot could be stepped on to the bottom.

He kept his head down, and accidentally bumped into the back of the person in front of him.

"Something has been here." Li Yi did not wait for him to ask, and had already opened his mouth.

Peng Yu hurriedly came out from behind him, looked forward, and saw a row of fresh footprints on the ground. He held his chin and looked at it for a long time: "What is it? A deer? Or a sheep?"

The footprints were very shallow, and it seemed that they only touched the ground lightly. He squatted down and gestured, and found that a footprint was about half the size of a palm, and it went all the way to the crack.

A few people went all the way to the end of the footprints, and found that the thing seemed to be wandering here for a long time, leaving a large mess of footprints on the ground, and looking forward, there was nothing, and the trace was just broken.

Peng Yu looked back and forth suspiciously for a long time: "Why did it disappear? What exactly is it?"

"It's Bai Ze, the guardian beast of Kunlun Mountain." Li Wei raised his head and glanced at the distant snow peak, "It didn't go in, it must have flown away—since Bai Ze has been here, there must be something wrong with the crack ,let's go."

The four of them entered the gap in the usual order. The gap was very narrow, although they could not pass sideways, but adult men had to shrink their arms if they wanted to go in.Peng Yu looked up and saw that the stone walls on both sides were carved like knives and axes, but there was only a ray of skylight above his head, as if it was about to fall into the middle at any time.

He shuddered inexplicably, and stopped looking up at the sky, but focused on his feet, and found that the further he went, the lower the terrain, and he didn't know where the long road would lead.

After a few people walked for an indeterminate amount of time, Peng Yu's legs were sore, and suddenly he felt that the road ahead gradually opened up, while the sky above his head became narrower and narrower.When the ray of sky light disappeared completely, the mountains on both sides merged into one again, and there was only this passage, which was as tall as a person, winding into the invisible darkness.

Li Yi was planning to summon a cluster of dragon fire, when suddenly something lit up before him, and it was still emitting from Peng Yu's clothes.

Peng Yu lowered his head and opened his skirt, releasing a glowing soybean.

A group of four people stared at it closely, and the soybean flapped its wings and flew to the front with a "cheep", a soft yellow light radiated from its body, and the small ball actually illuminated the entire passage.

"King," Jiu Yuan, who was at the end, said suddenly, "Did you hear any sound?"

Li Yi listened attentively for a while: "No, what's the matter?"

"I seem to hear a panting sound," Jiu Yuan said, stretching out his hands in the void, "and there is a wind blowing from the depths."

The two exchanged a look, then switched positions, with Jiu Yuan leading the charge.

Peng Yu grabbed the Dragon King's arm and asked in a low voice, "Why did he hear it but you didn't?"

"He has half of the blood of the Molong, so he has a stronger feeling for the Molong King."

"That is to say..." Peng Yu rubbed his chin, "Is it possible that the missing Molong King is here? We just found it by mistake?"

Hearing his words, Li Wei seemed to find it very funny: "Accidental collision? You created this crack, and it can be regarded as a cause and effect. How can it be called a 'accidental collision'?"

Peng Yu couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard the words, and his footsteps stopped suddenly: "What? What did I make?"

Li Yi pushed him to signal him not to fall behind: "Did you forget where we were when Kunlun Mountain cracked open two months ago?"

"Are you...fighting with the Wu Clan?" Peng Yu looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Li Yi: "Did you forget what you did at that time?"

Peng Yu thought about it for a while, and asked uncertainly: "You mean... I accidentally killed the insect and sent the little girl flying? What does this have to do with Kunlun Mountain? Wanli..."

"The earth is connected," Li Yi said, "assuming your strength is strong enough, my perception is sharp enough, and you don't waste it halfway, if you stomp your feet in Dengzhou, I can feel it in Tengyang, right? ?"

"But……"

"But you don't think the power of that blow is that great," Li Wei interrupted him, "In fact, it's just not that strong, but how far it really spreads, how deep it goes, none of us know Know."

He spoke slowly, his voice echoing back and forth in the rift channel of Longyin, which seemed a little distorted: "Kunlun Mountain is the 'ancestor of all mountains', everything originated from here, so it's no surprise that the vibration returns to its original source. Even without your blow, Kunlun will not be spared when the sky is about to fall into chaos."

Peng Yu couldn't answer the words, somehow felt that something was weird, but couldn't tell what was weird.

Going forward, the fissure that seemed to be able to go straight to the ground finally became complicated, and the space gradually opened up. They seemed to have entered a cave inside the mountain. There were more and more forks, and there was the sound of water, and occasionally dark rivers go through.

The water here is not as bone-chillingly cold as Peng Yu imagined. The water quality is very clear. It should be infiltrated after the snow melts. You can quench your thirst with just a handful, even a little sweet.

The few people had already walked quite a long distance, and they couldn't see the end. They stopped for a while and rested for a while. Peng Yu couldn't help taking a few more sips of water, and suddenly saw Li Yi frowning, wiping away the water stains on his lips. : "The water... seems to smell like dragon blood."

As he spoke, his eyes sank, and he quickly got up: "Let's go."

Peng Yu's legs hadn't recovered from the soreness. When he heard that he was going to leave again, he had no choice but to follow with a sad face, thinking that the dragon's physical strength was too good, and he didn't feel tired.

The sound of the wind in front was getting louder and louder, and it was faintly like a ghost horn in the intricate mountain caves. Peng Yu felt goosebumps all over his body for no reason, and felt that the occasional sound of water was inexplicably terrifying.

The most calm thing is probably the soybean. The small group of yellow light keeps drifting deeper and deeper, illuminating the jagged and strange rocks in the cave, making it appear unpredictable.

With the induction of the two dragons, several people went all the way to the depths among countless forks, and Peng Yu almost suspected that they were about to go underground.At this time, the soybean in the front suddenly spun around, and Jiu Yuan also stopped.

Several people stepped forward one after another, and saw that the field of vision suddenly widened in front of them, and an invisible cave was in sight. Peng Yu opened his eyes slightly, and saw that there seemed to be a giant standing in the middle of the cave, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, with no head The tail, like a huge cone inserted deeply, is as black as ink, with vertical and horizontal lines on it, bound with countless arm-thick iron ropes, extending down, locking a dragon covered in black.
