Pick up the Dragon

"king……"

"Wait, don't go there!" Li Yi grabbed him, "Don't touch him yet."

Peng Yu struggled to tear his gaze away from the black dragon, only then realized that Jiu Yuan's "king" was not Li Yi's, and the gray figure on his face, which was always calm, was holding back something that was about to explode. With emotion, his back was stretched straight, like a string that might break at any moment.

There was a "tick" sound of water in the cave, and the melted snow water on the mountain seeped in through the tiny cracks in the rock formation, dripping continuously into the ditch beside the black dragon.The canal seemed to be dug out by the black dragon itself, and it was covered with traces of the dragon's claws scratching. There was only a shallow layer of water inside, and finally meandered to the dark river outside.

The smell of blood that Li Yi tasted from the water should have come from here.

The black dragon was lying on the ground, not knowing whether it was dead or alive, its whole body was tightly bound by iron chains, its neck, limbs, tail, dragon horns, and even its back were all pierced through the scale armor by several iron chains.Peng Yu could hardly bear to look at him, so he could only cast his eyes on Jiu Yuan's back, and found that his whole body was trembling slightly, his hands were clenched tightly, and blood even came out between his fingers.

Qian Yue stretched out his hand to grab his arm, and then he shook like an electric shock, the stiff lines on his shoulders and back gradually softened, and he took a few heavy breaths.

Li Yi gave him a wink to signal him not to act rashly, but he stepped forward cautiously, walked to the side of the black dragon, and stretched out his hand to lightly touch the other's scarred back.

The blue light poured out from his palm and poured into the opponent's body continuously. Peng Yu crept closer and saw a black dragon lock ring on the horn of the black dragon.The dragon was probably still alive, but his breathing rate was very slow. You had to stare at him carefully for a long time before you could find the dragon's body undulating slightly.

Peng Yu couldn't help asking softly, "How long has he been locked here?"

Li Yi slowly withdrew the spell, and took a handful of iron chains: "Let's say hundreds of years, this iron chain has grown together with his flesh and blood, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it off."

"Hundreds of years?" Peng Yu's eyelids twitched violently, "Then he can still live? There is no food here, how did he survive?"

"A dragon can indeed live without eating," Li Yi said. "As long as there is water, it is guaranteed that it will not dry out, reduce the consumption of life to a minimum, and enter a state similar to dormancy. It will not be a problem to last for thousands of years."

Jiu Yuan suddenly took a step forward: "My lord, shall we rescue him first?"

"Don't worry," Li Yi stomped his feet lightly, "There is a Fuxi Fulong formation here, I just tried it, the dragon uses spells here, the consumption will increase exponentially, he is locked by this chain , can’t even shrink in size. If we rescue him blindly, if something happens, we won’t be able to escape with [-]% certainty.”

"Then what should we do?" Jiu Yuan seemed anxious, "Who the hell trapped him here? Why did he lock him here! King Molong has protected the human race for thousands of years and has never made any mistakes. Why should he be here?" This is a crime!"

Li Yi gave him a strange look: "Do you think he is being punished here? Take a closer look at what this is."

As he spoke, he pointed to the huge black cone in the center of the cave, and everyone raised their heads in unison. Peng Yu looked at it for a long time, but felt that it was not extraordinary, but couldn't see why, and asked straight eyebrows: "What is it? "

"This is one of the white tiger's claws." Li Yi walked around the thing, and the thinnest part was as thick as a person hugging him. "The most amazing thing about the white tiger's claw is that it can be changed in size at will. can be reduced to an embroidery needle."

Peng Yu raised his head and looked up, only to see that it had not penetrated into the stone wall at the top of the cave, and he still couldn't see the end, but if he observed carefully, he could find that this thing did have a certain curvature.

Li Yi went on to say: "The top of Kunlun Mountain is close to the sky, and the bottom is grounded. On top of Kunlun Mountain is the Nine Heavens, and at the bottom of the mountain is the Netherworld. When the three gods were about to perish 2000 years ago, the ghost clan took the opportunity to make trouble and opened a passage in Kunlun in an attempt to cause disaster. In the human world, the White Tiger God pulled out his three sharp claws, and the first one was to suppress this breach."

With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and glanced casually: "It's just that the White Tiger God suppressed it too timely at that time, and outsiders didn't even know that the ghost clan came out to make trouble. Later, they only knew that the breach was in Kunlun, and they didn't know which mountain it was under. I know, this time I don't know if it's a coincidence... or necessity."

Peng Yu followed his voice: "That is to say... if you pull out this white tiger claw, the ghosts underneath will come out?"

Li Yi nodded: "That's what it means. In the past 2000 years, the ghost clan has been trying to break the seal left by the White Tiger God, so the power on the White Tiger's claws is consumed faster than other sacred objects. To be locked here is to consume his cultivation base to replenish the divine power of the White Tiger Claw and keep the seal unbreakable."

"But why!" Jiu Yuan suddenly poked his neck and shouted, "Why is it our Dragon Clan again? Kunlun Mountain is clearly under the jurisdiction of the White Tiger Clan. What reason do they have to sacrifice our dragon to strengthen the seal!"

"It should not be done by the White Tiger Clan. The relationship between the Dragon and Tiger Clan is not bad, so they won't break up with us for a little cultivation." Li Yi patted him on the shoulder, "The Fuxi Fulong Formation is definitely not their work. , As for the specifics, I can't speculate, I can only wait for Mo Li to tell us."

Jiu Yuan's face was full of grief and indignation, as if he wanted to rush up to fight someone at any time.

Li Yi suddenly gave Peng Yu a wink, and the latter understood what he meant immediately, stepped forward to put Jiu Yuan on the shoulder, led him aside, and asked quietly: "Are you on good terms with Mo Li?" ?”

Jiu Yuan didn't seem to understand why he still asked such an insignificant question at this juncture, and looked at him in surprise, and replied out of sincerity: "It's not particularly good, because before meeting Wang...Chang Ze , The Yunlong clan often hunted me down, and I was afraid of hurting the Molong clan, so I dared not go back to the clan. One time when I was wounded, I happened to meet Mo Li, and he took the initiative to send me to Lingquan to heal my wounds, and that's how we met."

Peng Yuxin said that this little gray dragon knew how to repay his kindness. He remembered it for so long after being rescued by Mo Li once, and 2000 years after being rescued by Li Yi once. Unfortunately, good people often do not get rewarded, and dragons are not immune.

As soon as he didn't speak, Jiu Yuan turned his attention to Li Yi again. Peng Yu hurriedly grabbed his shoulders again and forced him to turn back. Out of his corner of the eye, he saw a certain Dragon King squatting on the ground to study.Peng Yu quietly asked Jiu Yuan again, "Then Mo Li has been missing for so many years, haven't you Molong clan looked for it?"

"How can we not look for it?" Jiu Yuan seemed a little impatient, frowned slightly, and spoke faster, "We have been looking for these years, but at that time no one knew where he disappeared. There are all clues. Nothing, I can only search randomly, who knew he would be in Kunlun Mountain."

He said as he pushed Peng Yu's hand away: "I still don't understand, even if he is locked here and can't break free, why doesn't he ask for help! If he asks for help, there will always be people in the clan who will hear him, save him out!"

At this moment, Li Wei got up suddenly, and took over his words before Peng Yu: "Because he was locked here voluntarily--the Molong clan has always been kind, even if they were forced to be trapped here at the beginning, but knowing the other party's The purpose is to strengthen the seal against the ghosts, and he will not compromise even if he is unwilling. You can see that there are almost no traces of struggle in this cave, otherwise he must have been injured more seriously than now."

"No way," Peng Yu couldn't help but spread his hands, "Why are you dragons so kind? You're all tied into a sieve, and your cultivation is wasted, and you still help them? So what if you let the ghosts out? Isn’t it human beings who harm you? It doesn’t bother you dragons. Human beings are your father and mother, so is it necessary to protect them like this?”

As soon as he said this, the two dragons cast their eyes "Aren't you a human?"

"I really don't understand you guys," Peng Yu ignored Erlong's eyes, found a stone at random, lifted the hem of his robe, and squatted up on one leg in a very inconspicuous way, "Even if you are the chief guardian of the king of all souls, All spirits, but there are so many panting things in the world, how many dragons do you have, can you really protect them? People say "it's easy to do", and it's all right to help what can be done. This kind of self-defeating Things that benefit people... Anyway, I won’t do it on my own.”

The two dragons looked at each other and chose to shut up at the same time.

Peng Yu went on to say: "And I don't understand. Why do you Dragon Clan take care of everything? There are so many gods in the sky and the earth. Why do they eat? The ghost clan drilled the ground. No matter how you look at it, the one who is most responsible should be Is it the Hades? They don’t care, why should you care, isn’t this a dog and a mouse.”

"Okay," Li Wei sighed helplessly, "It's useless for you to say these things now, the matter has come to this, it's better to rescue Mo Li quickly, and we'll talk about other things later."

Peng Yu had no choice but to curl his lips: "What kind of Fuxi...Fulong...how did you figure out that the formation was broken?"

Li Yi nodded: "I just took a closer look. This formation is simplified, and its power is less than one-twelfth of the real formation. After so many years of consumption, it is almost exhausted. As long as this chain is cut off, it should can save him.”

Before Peng Yu could say, "Then cut it quickly," he cut it off in his throat again: "But this chain is not extraordinary, it should be made of some kind of black iron. Ordinary swords and swords can't cut continuously. I'm afraid the claws can't move, and the spell can't be cast, so I have to think of other ways."

After hearing this, Peng Yu got up and touched a chain nearby, which was so heavy in his hand that he could hardly lift it: "It's so thick, it must be some kind of deep hatred to lock the dragon with such a thick chain."

Jiuyuan and Qianyue have each touched one and are eager to try, but the results are obviously not ideal. Li Yi looked at them and said: "Baize in the Kunlun Mountains is relatively familiar, let's go out first and ask him if there is any place nearby that is better than Xuanyuan." For things with higher iron hardness, it is best to get local materials, and if you don’t have them, look elsewhere.”

Peng Yu was also thinking about what would be able to deal with Xuan Tie, when a certain little yellow bird suddenly swung past him, his eyes lit up after a pause, and he grabbed Li Yi's arm: "What else are you looking for? Materials, aren’t there ready-made ones here!”
