After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up
Chapter 144 Dawn
There are six hours left before the blood moon.
Although the general public is unaware of this, some ability users have already begun to feel uneasy about it.
They don't know where this uneasiness comes from, but they can feel that unknown danger is about to move, and the magic power in their bodies is stirred, as if it is faintly resonating with the entire continent.
All the polluted areas have been cleaned up, but the monsters everywhere are still extremely restless.
Although the night had not yet fallen, the light seemed extremely dim.
Thick clouds covered the sky, the sun seemed distant and thin, and the entire sky seemed to be shrouded in a light scarlet halo.
The man in black who was imprisoned in the narrow space slowly raised his head.
The blue-black blood vessels on his face were throbbing, making him look terrifying like a ghost.
One of his eyes can no longer see the pupil at all, and the other eyeball is also covered with cloudy white cloud, but he can vaguely see things.
He stared fixedly not far away, as if he could use his vision-impaired eyes to penetrate the steel wall in front of him.
At this moment, the door of the prison opened slowly, and Zhuo Fu walked in.
Only a "beep" sound was heard, and the glass cover disappeared.
"You can come out." Zhuo Fu said.
The man in black didn't ask any questions, but stood up silently, the iron chains on his body jingled, and walked out staggeringly.
The sky darkens little by little as time goes by, but the sun never sets.
Reddish mist swam in the air, covering everything in an ominous dark light.
The surrounding area is rocky and uninhabited, and the howling of monsters can be heard faintly in the distance.
Further forward, there is a huge cave, with traces of high temperature melting on the hard stone walls.
Zhuo Fu looked around, and couldn't help being slightly startled. He recognized where this place was - in the attack on the Ability Academy earlier, the giant dragon took Mu Heng away. Searching with all my strength, I finally came here by following the trail and reunited with Mu Heng who had been kidnapped for several days.
The mountain ahead is hollow inside.
There are several irregular openings on the rock wall, which can accommodate several people to enter and exit. Further forward, there is a huge mountain completely hollowed out in the middle, and half of the sky that is split can be seen faintly between the openings on the top.
Wen Yao came forward from the side and looked at Zhuo Fu with condemning eyes: "You are late."
Zhuo Fu shrugged and sighed:
"I can't blame me for this, it's because the road conditions are too bad."
The man in black looked over Wen Yao's shoulder and looked into the cave.
He froze suddenly.
In the center of the cave not far away, there are collected fire dragon remains. They lie quietly at the junction of the shadows, as if they were dead without any soul.
In the center of those wreckages, a petri dish taller than a person can be vaguely seen. In the light blue liquid, the pitch-black skull rises and falls soundlessly, and the deep eye sockets are hidden in the darkness, as quiet as life. looked out.
Like a stiff puppet, the man in black was pulled forward by some invisible force, subconsciously walking forward.
However, just as he took a step, Wen Yao quickly stopped him:
"Don't go in."
The haggard figure of the man in black swayed.
He didn't speak, but stopped obediently and stopped his pace.
However, his eyes, which had almost completely lost their vision, did not move from the beginning to the end, gazing at everything in the cave steadfastly, like a shadow that had been dead for many years.
Zhuo Fu: "Where are Mu Heng and Shi An? Are they here?"
"Obviously late, too."
Wen Yao sighed silently.
At this moment, a strong wind blew overhead, and a huge shadow completely covered this area.
The wind whistled sharply between the rock walls, curling up Wen Yao's long hair,
She pulled her hair behind her ears with one hand, raised her head and looked towards the sky.
In the blood-soaked twilight, the silver-white dragon lowered its figure, spread its huge smooth wings, and slid down with the wind. A pair of golden-red vertical pupils burned in the darkness, looking majestic and beautiful.
He fell down slowly, and then lowered his right wing slightly, allowing Mu Heng to slide off his back.
Both Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu were startled.
They didn't expect Si-an to come as a prototype.
It was even unexpected that the two of them would appear in such a way.
Mu Heng stepped forward, his gaze passed over Wen Yao's body, and finally fell on the man in black robe.
He stared at the other party for a few seconds, then calmly looked away.
"The dragon's tomb is best in his cave." Mu Heng looked at the cave not far away, and he didn't know who he was explaining to, and added lightly: "Although this is not his residence, it is also the residence of his kind. made caves."
The silver-white dragon folded its wings and stood quietly outside the cave.
The huge golden-red eyes flashed with dazzling fire, and there was not much cruel hostility on the contrary, he appeared peaceful and gentle. He stood silently in the darkness, and his silver-white scales were majestic and gorgeous, shining with fine light. With quiet and deep eyes, he stared at the bones of the same kind not far away.
No one spoke again.
The entire mountain rock fell into a deep dead silence.
It was like a solemn moment of silence.
Time passed by little by little, and the sun, which was hesitantly hanging in the sky, finally fell reluctantly, and was swallowed up by the dark horizon little by little, but even so, the sky still showed a sickly brightness, as if the day was still reluctant to leave. As if leaving.
As the sun disappeared, the blood mist in the air became thicker and thicker, covering the entire sky like clouds.
Amidst the stupor and chaos, a scarlet light rose from the intertwined light and darkness.
The ominous color began to spread, like an epidemic, and took over the sky in an instant.
A blood moon rises slowly.
Like a huge, bloodshot eye, staring fixedly at the continent below, the cold red light was sprinkled down, covering the ground as if it had an entity.
The howls of monsters came from all around, and countless voices mixed, piercing the silent night sky, making one's hair stand on end.
The silver-white dragon raised its neck and let out a dragon roar.
The voice was loud and majestic, and it seemed to contain endless power, which made the whole valley vibrate as if resonating, and a powerful magic pressure spread.
At that moment, the voices of all other monsters could not be heard.
Zhuofu could feel his legs trembling, and the awe in his soul was revived, which made him instinctively have an urge to bend down.
The dragon looked at the cliff in front of him.
Flame-like patterns spread from between the silver-white scales, shining brightly in the darkness like hot magma.
Immediately afterwards, flames spewed out from the mouth of the giant dragon, and the violent golden red ignited most of the sky in an instant, roaring and rushing towards the cave, as if it could evaporate the moisture of the whole world, the heat wave Rolling over, almost swallowing the entire cliff in front of him in the blink of an eye.
In the sizzling hot air, Zhuo Fu and Wen Yao couldn't breathe.
The fire light reflected on their faces and reflected in their eyes, as if burning from the inside of their bodies.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying it would be to face such a terrible flame without any barriers. The flames in front of me seem to contain some kind of horror aesthetics that is difficult for human beings to understand but fascinated. all their attention.
At this moment, the black-robed man who had been restrained from just now suddenly moved.
A terrifying power erupted from his haggard, broken, and on the verge of collapse, and those chains and imprisonments all lost their meaning.
Even if you lose a leg, it doesn't matter if you lose an arm.
The almost self-harming explosion made him break free from the restraint in an instant.
"!and many more!"
"What are you doing!"
Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu were startled suddenly, and they came back to their senses immediately.
They tried to stop them, but were stopped by Mu Heng.
The silver-haired man turned his head sideways, his side face was reflected bright red, and the depths of a pair of cold blue eyes reflected the scorching fire, and he shook his head slightly.
"..."
Both were startled.
During this short moment of stupefaction, the raging fire had completely swallowed the figure of the man in black, and there was no trace of him anymore.
A thin barrier stood in front of him, keeping the fire out.
Although the Mu family has natural immunity to dragon flames, it doesn't mean that he can survive under such terrifying flames.
But he wasn't prepared to survive either.
The dark ragged robes on his body had been ignited by the high temperature, the moisture in his skin had evaporated and peeled off, and he could smell the smell of his body being scorched at the end of his nose.
The bones were overwhelmed, and there was a crisp beeping sound, and the blood would be dried before it flowed out.
But he didn't seem to be aware of it at all, and walked forward step by step, the depths of his eyes covered with white shadows reflected the dragon flames that seemed to be able to burn the whole world, under the reflection of the strong light, The blue iris is faintly visible beneath it.
Across the raging flames, he stared steadily into the flames without blinking his eyes, as if everything else had ceased to exist except for the bones not far away.
The knee was shattered and could no longer support his weight.
The exhausted body collapsed, and then began to crawl forward little by little, leaving behind scorched flesh and blood.
The outer shell of the petri dish is specially made to suppress the fire element, although there are already signs of melting, and the outline of a floating skull can be vaguely seen.
He crouched inches away, staring at it silently.
In the end, slowly, carefully, and almost humblely, he reached out his hand.
The fingertips had already started to burn, and the flesh and blood peeled off, revealing the white bones, which touched the outer wall little by little.
……haven't seen you for a long time.
In that instant, the outer shell collapsed at the touch.
In the raging fire, he embraced the skull.
Then he lowered his head slowly and closed his eyes very peacefully.
In the next second, all the magic barriers were removed.
The flames rose up and roared fiercely, devouring everything in an instant.
At this moment, Wen Yao heard her communicator start beeping.
She looked down, her breath suddenly suffocating.
It's a message from a member of the Combat Section.
Obviously, Mu Heng's refusal to contact them pushed them to the brink of taking extreme actions. The management's high-level bypassed the obvious tendency of the Combat Section, and instead joined forces with other families, bringing the capabilities cultivated from various families and resisting the high-level The raiders came nearby.
Wen Yao gritted her teeth, turned her head and glanced at Mu Heng.
She decides to do something about it.
She found a reason to leave early, and then went straight to the Authority's base camp outside the wasteland.
"What is your purpose?"
Wen Yao asked straight to the point.
"You guys?" The management executive in charge of leading the team repeated it slowly, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Captain Wen, when did you and the management team become "you"?"
He smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "May I ask you to express your position in this way?"
"You think too much."
Wen Yao remained expressionless, as if she was not affected by the other party's words:
"All my decisions are based on the consideration of the safety of all human beings. On the contrary, the behavior of the Authority at this moment puzzles me. Are you trying to provoke a war?"
"If so?"
Wen Yao put her hand on the weapon at her waist calmly: "Then I have no choice but to stop your stupid behavior."
The senior executives of the administration showed a puzzled look: "Captain Wen, you should also know that the unrestrained and terrifying power in the phantom species will always be a hidden danger to human beings. If you really stand on the side of all human beings From a standpoint, you should stand with us."
Wen Yao's fingers tightened subconsciously for a moment.
The dragon and the young man, Mu Heng and Zhuo Fu, and those scattered and broken words flashed through his mind.
One thing Zhuo Fu said was right.
Since that day, it has been difficult for her to refer to the existence of Shi An himself by using "dragon" instead of his name.
The huge and terrifying image that had been covering her eyes since Shi An's identity was exposed dissipated, and through the threat of the dragon shape, she seemed to see the real Shi An that she had always ignored all along.
This cognition is like a flash of lightning flashing in front of her eyes, causing Wen Yao's breathing to be slightly suffocated, and her throat can't help but twitch, like a boulder falling to the ground, or like a fog dispersing.
She took a deep breath, then said slowly:
"Indeed, I did agree with that statement—"
"Ever?" The executive narrowed his eyes: "I can understand that, have you changed your opinion now?"
Wen Yao's eyes flashed a hint of wavering, and then quickly became firm.
She pursed her lips and said word by word:
"……perhaps."
"I have to say, you really let us down."
The higher-ups shook their heads and sighed regretfully.
Wen Yao's fingertips got stuck on the handle of the gun, and she replied: "Is your answer, can I understand it as a willful pursuit of war?"
"No, you're wrong about that."
The higher-ups showed a hypocritical smile: "Just with these people we brought? How stupid is the Administration... to think that they can take down a giant dragon with such a small force? This is death."
Wen Yao was startled: "Then..."
The man on the opposite side pointed their fingertips together:
"We just want to talk to your officer."
...Mu Heng?
Wen Yao was stunned.
At this moment, a cold and deep male voice came from behind: "Really?"
Wen Yao was startled suddenly, and turned her head to look behind her.
Under the blood moon that has not yet dissipated, the figure of the silver-haired man gradually emerged from the darkness, and his azure blue eyes reflected a thin blood: "What do you want to talk about?"
The higher-ups were also taken aback, and subconsciously stood up.
The indifference and composure when facing Wen Yao just now has completely disappeared at this moment, and instead seems a little reserved.
He showed a smile: "...Mr. Mu! It's really better to be famous than to meet—"
Mu Heng stepped forward step by step, fixedly staring at the man in front of him, with a cold voice:
"Haven't you been trying to contact me? Just to say these polite words?"
The smile on the other party's face froze: "No...of course not."
He coughed lightly, then said:
"Your importance to us is unquestionable, and we also believe that all the actions you did before were... impulsive, and before this time, I just hoped to put these past misunderstandings behind me and establish a relationship with you again. Great partnership, of course, all your requests - and I mean all."
He puts emphasis on the last two words:
"Everything can be satisfied, but I don't know you..."
"Would you like to slay the dragon?"
Mu Heng took the conversation lightly.
The other party seemed even more restless. After a few seconds of silence, he stumbled and said, "This... If you want to understand it this way, you can..."
Mu Heng laughed lightly.
I don't know why, but his laughter didn't make the senior management feel relieved. There was a kind of horror in the other party's voice that he couldn't understand, which made him instinctively want to retreat.
The silver-haired man stepped forward again, and said unhurriedly:
"Since I've already said this, I'll just make it clear."
I saw the man lowered his eyes, his eyes were unpredictable, and his emotions were difficult to distinguish:
"If you are against the dragon, you are against me."
"..."
The aura from the other party made the senior executives of the administration subconsciously hold their breath, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozes from the back.
"What happened a few days ago, I don't mind doing it again."
Mu Heng leaned over slightly, with a cold smile on his lips, but there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent surging in his calm voice: "Do you understand?"
The senior management was dripping with cold sweat, and subconsciously nodded.
"As long as you know."
Mu Heng straightened up and distanced himself: "Forgive me for not accompanying me."
He turned around, and his slender and straight figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Wen Yao turned her head and glanced at the dazed high-level executives not far away, then retracted her gaze, turned around and chased in the direction Mu Heng left.
Only the top executives of the administration were left standing there, with frightened eyes and ugly faces.
A few minutes later, his subordinate came cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Then...sir, what shall we do next?"
"..."
The senior executive's face was blue and white, and finally he clenched his teeth, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:
"……retreat."
After burning the entire mountain and the dragon skulls in it, Shi An closed his eyes and began to absorb the magic power pouring in from the outside.
After the absorption was over, Shi An opened his eyes, only to find that Mu Heng and Wen Yao were no longer there.
"Is it over?"
Zhuo Fu raised his head with some difficulty, looked at the huge dragon in front of him, and asked.
Shi An nodded: "Yes."
He raised his eyes and looked towards the light red night sky above his head: "He is free now."
"You mean the man in black?"
Shi An was taken aback, then lowered his head: "No, it's a fire dragon."
"Too."
Zhuo Fu patted his head and shook his head in frustration: "I haven't recovered from the scene of him rushing into the fire just now, and I subconsciously feel that you are talking about him..."
"He rushed into the fire?"
Shi An tilted his head.
"yes……"
Zhuo Fu sighed: "However, when you think about it carefully, this should be the best ending. When I was in the laboratory earlier, I gave him a whole body examination, and his internal organs and body were basically disintegrated. Alas, this is the result of human beings trying to gain strength and longevity that do not belong to our race-"
Shi An was slightly taken aback, as if caught by a certain thought.
Zhuo Fu continued to ramble.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of him, making him almost unsteady.
He raised his hand to cover the dust in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked above his head: "Hey! What's the matter!"
I saw the dragon spread its wings and fly.
Zhuo Fu was dumbfounded, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! Wait! Where are you going!!!"
The dragon didn't answer.
The silver-white figure disappeared in the night sky shrouded in the blood moon in an instant.
Zhuo Fu was left standing alone in the open space, staring blankly at the sky: "..."
and many more……
Mu Heng is back, how should he explain it! !
The dragon glides through the air.
The blood-colored moonlight fell on his back, coating the silver-white scales with a light red halo, like a smoky veil.
The wind howled in my ears.
Shi An was upset.
What Zhuo Fu said just now rang in his ears repeatedly.
"...this is the result of human beings trying to gain strength and longevity that do not belong to our race..."
"...a lifespan that does not belong to our race..."
Yes, human life span is limited.
Too limited.
Although the average lifespan has been extended to 300 years, for dragons it is just a snap of the fingers.
He has slept for more than 300 years.
The appearance of the man in black robe from before flashed in Shi An's mind.
Haggard white hair, clouded blue eyes, distorted features covered in veins and wrinkles.
Could it be... Will Mu Heng become like this one day?
No!
Shi An flew a little faster.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to the junction of Rose District and Aiwen District.
Under the reflection of the blood moon, a pitch-black canyon could be vaguely seen ahead, like a deep scar, branded at the junction of the snowfield and the volcanic group.
...this canyon.
Shi An was stunned, and subconsciously slowed down.
Regardless of whether they are powerful or not, all monsters will be affected by the blood moon. They will be more primitive, stronger, and more instinctive.
The moment Shi An saw this canyon, he immediately recalled his previous plan.
——How to perfectly and permanently preserve the fleeting collection.
He flew to the top of the canyon and looked down.
The translucent amber glistens in the dark, the smooth and clear surface reflects the blood-colored moonlight, and the silver-white dragon's figure under the moonlight.
Perfect, permanent storage.
"What about Shi'an?"
Mu Heng looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhuo Fu laughed dryly: "Shi'an...he just flew away..."
Mu Heng was startled, then turned to look at Zhuo Fu:
"Where did you fly to?"
Zhuo Fu's back felt cold, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "This... that... I don't know..."
Mu Heng's eyes sank.
Zhuo Fu was timid and backed away: "I, I really don't know! He didn't tell me when he left!"
Wen Yao looked at Zhuo Fu harshly, and shook her head: "You are really useless."
Zhuofu: "..."
hum.
For the next whole night, Mu Heng tried to find or contact Shi An. He even pulled out the three monsters from the warehouse, but they obviously had no clues.
If Shi An doesn't want to be found, then none of the subjects can feel his breath.
The air pressure on Mu Heng's body became even lower.
As time passed, the blood moon gradually fell, and although the sky was still glowing with a layer of light red, it had basically returned to normal, and the sky was faintly glowing with the dawn.
Mu Heng raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, with a rare look of anxiety on his face.
Perhaps it was some kind of hunch in the dark, or out of a good fantasy, he went to his original address in the Central District with a glimmer of hope.
The key was inserted into the lock, and there was a sound of metal snapping together.
The door was pushed open, and it was pitch black inside.
Mu Heng walked in.
The next second, he felt a powerful force coming from the front, pressing him firmly against the wall, the wall behind him made an overwhelmed cracking sound, and spider web-like patterns spread.
The muscles on the man's body tensed for a moment.
However, the moment he sensed the other party's breath, Mu Heng's body immediately relaxed.
The boy leaned closer.
In the darkness, those golden-red vertical pupils were like raging fire, shining with almost barbaric primitive violence.
He raised his hand and pressed Mu Heng's chest.
stab-
The sound of the cloth being torn by sharp claws sounded, and the clothes on the man's body instantly shattered into pieces, falling into the darkness one after another.
The icy palm covered with scales pressed Mu Heng's chest, feeling the frequency of human ribs rising and falling with breathing, and the rhythm of the living heart beating beneath it.
"Are you afraid?"
The boy's voice was clear and gentle, with a bit of pure curiosity, but otherwise, pure danger.
He pressed his cold body against the opponent's body, and touched the man's Adam's apple with his soft lips.
It's not like a kiss, but like a ritual before a beast bites the throat of its prey.
Mu Heng thought for a few seconds, then nodded.
"What are you afraid of?"
Shi An felt the rolling of the opponent's Adam's apple under his lips: "Death?"
"No." Mu Heng pressed the back of his head against the wall, exposing his fragile throat, and his voice was calm and soft, as if sighing:
"...I'm afraid you will leave."
"Then do you want to be with me forever?"
The boy's cold and deadly kiss fell on the side of his neck, and his moist breath brushed against his ears.
His voice was soft and sweet, as if coquettishly rubbing the tip of his nose against the man's ear: "Even death can't separate us?"
"Stay with me forever, okay?"
Mu Heng closed his eyes, his voice hoarse:
"it is good."
Like the seduced sacrifice in all fairy tales, he offered his soul, body...everything to the evil god without reservation or regret.
The sharp fingertips pressing on the chest suddenly penetrated.
He could feel the pain of his skin being torn, his ribs being broken, and his heart being clenched.
but……
what a pleasure.
He had never felt so close to Shi An.
In the next second, a more intense pain erupted deep in the chest cavity, as if scorching hot magma was injected into the internal organs, spreading along the meridians and bones, making a scorching sound, every inch of the skin was burning hot, The unbearable pain hit his nerves.
A suppressed muffled scream came out of Mu Heng's throat.
However, the cold body pressing on him never left, and even got a little closer.
I don't know how long has passed.
When Mu Heng opened his eyes dripping with cold sweat, the originally pitch-black room was covered with morning light, and the halo of the blood moon had disappeared, leaving only the clear sunlight.
The young man was bathed in the morning sun, his eyelashes were wet, the tip of his nose was reddish, and his golden-red eyes shone like they had been washed by water.
He was naked, and his soft and fair skin was coated with a layer of shining golden light, like a newborn god.
On the opponent's chest, there was a scarlet scar that had healed, and scales were faintly visible around it, which looked particularly bright and dazzling on the snow-white skin.
Mu Heng was startled, and threw his hands over his chest.
There was an exact same wound there.
The boy sniffed, looked up at him, and said solemnly:
"Then, I am willing to share my lifespan with you."
Mu Heng's pupils constricted and his Adam's apple rolled, as if thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't spit out half a syllable no matter what.
especially……
He knew how much Shi An was afraid of pain.
In the next second, the scorching hot palm of the human held the boy's slender neck, dragging him into a deep kiss that was almost angry.
The man's voice was low, with a little unconscious astringency, pressed against the young man's soft lips, and said in a hoarse voice:
"……why?"
Shi An raised his hand subconsciously, embracing the opponent's shoulder with his slender arms, and made a slightly trembling sound at the end of doubt:
"……Um?"
"Why are you doing this?"
Mu Heng looked at the other party, his eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, and his complicated and strong emotions almost swallowed him:
"You didn't have to—"
The rest of the words were stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down.
Shi An blinked his wet eyelashes, curled his lips, and there was still a bit of soft crying in his voice, and sighed faintly:
"Actually, I don't want to use this method."
"I was going to seal you up in a big amber forever, but..."
In fact, he has already collected all the amber, and it is now placed in the bedroom, waiting for the shiny silver collection to be sealed and contained.
But at the last minute, he changed his mind.
"……but?"
"But I found..." Shi An thought about it for a while, then raised his eyes, glanced at the human beings in front of him secretly, his voice gradually became smaller unconsciously, and said in a low voice, as if a little embarrassed:
"I seem to be a little bit reluctant."
Mu Heng's chest rose and fell rapidly for a moment.
He leaned down and placed a burning kiss on the other's lips.
The golden morning light came in from the window, dyeing everything into a fiery and beautiful brilliant gold, as if a whole new world was waking up.
"--I love you too."
With a hoarse voice, Mu Heng said extremely gently.
——[End of text]——
Although the general public is unaware of this, some ability users have already begun to feel uneasy about it.
They don't know where this uneasiness comes from, but they can feel that unknown danger is about to move, and the magic power in their bodies is stirred, as if it is faintly resonating with the entire continent.
All the polluted areas have been cleaned up, but the monsters everywhere are still extremely restless.
Although the night had not yet fallen, the light seemed extremely dim.
Thick clouds covered the sky, the sun seemed distant and thin, and the entire sky seemed to be shrouded in a light scarlet halo.
The man in black who was imprisoned in the narrow space slowly raised his head.
The blue-black blood vessels on his face were throbbing, making him look terrifying like a ghost.
One of his eyes can no longer see the pupil at all, and the other eyeball is also covered with cloudy white cloud, but he can vaguely see things.
He stared fixedly not far away, as if he could use his vision-impaired eyes to penetrate the steel wall in front of him.
At this moment, the door of the prison opened slowly, and Zhuo Fu walked in.
Only a "beep" sound was heard, and the glass cover disappeared.
"You can come out." Zhuo Fu said.
The man in black didn't ask any questions, but stood up silently, the iron chains on his body jingled, and walked out staggeringly.
The sky darkens little by little as time goes by, but the sun never sets.
Reddish mist swam in the air, covering everything in an ominous dark light.
The surrounding area is rocky and uninhabited, and the howling of monsters can be heard faintly in the distance.
Further forward, there is a huge cave, with traces of high temperature melting on the hard stone walls.
Zhuo Fu looked around, and couldn't help being slightly startled. He recognized where this place was - in the attack on the Ability Academy earlier, the giant dragon took Mu Heng away. Searching with all my strength, I finally came here by following the trail and reunited with Mu Heng who had been kidnapped for several days.
The mountain ahead is hollow inside.
There are several irregular openings on the rock wall, which can accommodate several people to enter and exit. Further forward, there is a huge mountain completely hollowed out in the middle, and half of the sky that is split can be seen faintly between the openings on the top.
Wen Yao came forward from the side and looked at Zhuo Fu with condemning eyes: "You are late."
Zhuo Fu shrugged and sighed:
"I can't blame me for this, it's because the road conditions are too bad."
The man in black looked over Wen Yao's shoulder and looked into the cave.
He froze suddenly.
In the center of the cave not far away, there are collected fire dragon remains. They lie quietly at the junction of the shadows, as if they were dead without any soul.
In the center of those wreckages, a petri dish taller than a person can be vaguely seen. In the light blue liquid, the pitch-black skull rises and falls soundlessly, and the deep eye sockets are hidden in the darkness, as quiet as life. looked out.
Like a stiff puppet, the man in black was pulled forward by some invisible force, subconsciously walking forward.
However, just as he took a step, Wen Yao quickly stopped him:
"Don't go in."
The haggard figure of the man in black swayed.
He didn't speak, but stopped obediently and stopped his pace.
However, his eyes, which had almost completely lost their vision, did not move from the beginning to the end, gazing at everything in the cave steadfastly, like a shadow that had been dead for many years.
Zhuo Fu: "Where are Mu Heng and Shi An? Are they here?"
"Obviously late, too."
Wen Yao sighed silently.
At this moment, a strong wind blew overhead, and a huge shadow completely covered this area.
The wind whistled sharply between the rock walls, curling up Wen Yao's long hair,
She pulled her hair behind her ears with one hand, raised her head and looked towards the sky.
In the blood-soaked twilight, the silver-white dragon lowered its figure, spread its huge smooth wings, and slid down with the wind. A pair of golden-red vertical pupils burned in the darkness, looking majestic and beautiful.
He fell down slowly, and then lowered his right wing slightly, allowing Mu Heng to slide off his back.
Both Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu were startled.
They didn't expect Si-an to come as a prototype.
It was even unexpected that the two of them would appear in such a way.
Mu Heng stepped forward, his gaze passed over Wen Yao's body, and finally fell on the man in black robe.
He stared at the other party for a few seconds, then calmly looked away.
"The dragon's tomb is best in his cave." Mu Heng looked at the cave not far away, and he didn't know who he was explaining to, and added lightly: "Although this is not his residence, it is also the residence of his kind. made caves."
The silver-white dragon folded its wings and stood quietly outside the cave.
The huge golden-red eyes flashed with dazzling fire, and there was not much cruel hostility on the contrary, he appeared peaceful and gentle. He stood silently in the darkness, and his silver-white scales were majestic and gorgeous, shining with fine light. With quiet and deep eyes, he stared at the bones of the same kind not far away.
No one spoke again.
The entire mountain rock fell into a deep dead silence.
It was like a solemn moment of silence.
Time passed by little by little, and the sun, which was hesitantly hanging in the sky, finally fell reluctantly, and was swallowed up by the dark horizon little by little, but even so, the sky still showed a sickly brightness, as if the day was still reluctant to leave. As if leaving.
As the sun disappeared, the blood mist in the air became thicker and thicker, covering the entire sky like clouds.
Amidst the stupor and chaos, a scarlet light rose from the intertwined light and darkness.
The ominous color began to spread, like an epidemic, and took over the sky in an instant.
A blood moon rises slowly.
Like a huge, bloodshot eye, staring fixedly at the continent below, the cold red light was sprinkled down, covering the ground as if it had an entity.
The howls of monsters came from all around, and countless voices mixed, piercing the silent night sky, making one's hair stand on end.
The silver-white dragon raised its neck and let out a dragon roar.
The voice was loud and majestic, and it seemed to contain endless power, which made the whole valley vibrate as if resonating, and a powerful magic pressure spread.
At that moment, the voices of all other monsters could not be heard.
Zhuofu could feel his legs trembling, and the awe in his soul was revived, which made him instinctively have an urge to bend down.
The dragon looked at the cliff in front of him.
Flame-like patterns spread from between the silver-white scales, shining brightly in the darkness like hot magma.
Immediately afterwards, flames spewed out from the mouth of the giant dragon, and the violent golden red ignited most of the sky in an instant, roaring and rushing towards the cave, as if it could evaporate the moisture of the whole world, the heat wave Rolling over, almost swallowing the entire cliff in front of him in the blink of an eye.
In the sizzling hot air, Zhuo Fu and Wen Yao couldn't breathe.
The fire light reflected on their faces and reflected in their eyes, as if burning from the inside of their bodies.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying it would be to face such a terrible flame without any barriers. The flames in front of me seem to contain some kind of horror aesthetics that is difficult for human beings to understand but fascinated. all their attention.
At this moment, the black-robed man who had been restrained from just now suddenly moved.
A terrifying power erupted from his haggard, broken, and on the verge of collapse, and those chains and imprisonments all lost their meaning.
Even if you lose a leg, it doesn't matter if you lose an arm.
The almost self-harming explosion made him break free from the restraint in an instant.
"!and many more!"
"What are you doing!"
Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu were startled suddenly, and they came back to their senses immediately.
They tried to stop them, but were stopped by Mu Heng.
The silver-haired man turned his head sideways, his side face was reflected bright red, and the depths of a pair of cold blue eyes reflected the scorching fire, and he shook his head slightly.
"..."
Both were startled.
During this short moment of stupefaction, the raging fire had completely swallowed the figure of the man in black, and there was no trace of him anymore.
A thin barrier stood in front of him, keeping the fire out.
Although the Mu family has natural immunity to dragon flames, it doesn't mean that he can survive under such terrifying flames.
But he wasn't prepared to survive either.
The dark ragged robes on his body had been ignited by the high temperature, the moisture in his skin had evaporated and peeled off, and he could smell the smell of his body being scorched at the end of his nose.
The bones were overwhelmed, and there was a crisp beeping sound, and the blood would be dried before it flowed out.
But he didn't seem to be aware of it at all, and walked forward step by step, the depths of his eyes covered with white shadows reflected the dragon flames that seemed to be able to burn the whole world, under the reflection of the strong light, The blue iris is faintly visible beneath it.
Across the raging flames, he stared steadily into the flames without blinking his eyes, as if everything else had ceased to exist except for the bones not far away.
The knee was shattered and could no longer support his weight.
The exhausted body collapsed, and then began to crawl forward little by little, leaving behind scorched flesh and blood.
The outer shell of the petri dish is specially made to suppress the fire element, although there are already signs of melting, and the outline of a floating skull can be vaguely seen.
He crouched inches away, staring at it silently.
In the end, slowly, carefully, and almost humblely, he reached out his hand.
The fingertips had already started to burn, and the flesh and blood peeled off, revealing the white bones, which touched the outer wall little by little.
……haven't seen you for a long time.
In that instant, the outer shell collapsed at the touch.
In the raging fire, he embraced the skull.
Then he lowered his head slowly and closed his eyes very peacefully.
In the next second, all the magic barriers were removed.
The flames rose up and roared fiercely, devouring everything in an instant.
At this moment, Wen Yao heard her communicator start beeping.
She looked down, her breath suddenly suffocating.
It's a message from a member of the Combat Section.
Obviously, Mu Heng's refusal to contact them pushed them to the brink of taking extreme actions. The management's high-level bypassed the obvious tendency of the Combat Section, and instead joined forces with other families, bringing the capabilities cultivated from various families and resisting the high-level The raiders came nearby.
Wen Yao gritted her teeth, turned her head and glanced at Mu Heng.
She decides to do something about it.
She found a reason to leave early, and then went straight to the Authority's base camp outside the wasteland.
"What is your purpose?"
Wen Yao asked straight to the point.
"You guys?" The management executive in charge of leading the team repeated it slowly, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Captain Wen, when did you and the management team become "you"?"
He smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "May I ask you to express your position in this way?"
"You think too much."
Wen Yao remained expressionless, as if she was not affected by the other party's words:
"All my decisions are based on the consideration of the safety of all human beings. On the contrary, the behavior of the Authority at this moment puzzles me. Are you trying to provoke a war?"
"If so?"
Wen Yao put her hand on the weapon at her waist calmly: "Then I have no choice but to stop your stupid behavior."
The senior executives of the administration showed a puzzled look: "Captain Wen, you should also know that the unrestrained and terrifying power in the phantom species will always be a hidden danger to human beings. If you really stand on the side of all human beings From a standpoint, you should stand with us."
Wen Yao's fingers tightened subconsciously for a moment.
The dragon and the young man, Mu Heng and Zhuo Fu, and those scattered and broken words flashed through his mind.
One thing Zhuo Fu said was right.
Since that day, it has been difficult for her to refer to the existence of Shi An himself by using "dragon" instead of his name.
The huge and terrifying image that had been covering her eyes since Shi An's identity was exposed dissipated, and through the threat of the dragon shape, she seemed to see the real Shi An that she had always ignored all along.
This cognition is like a flash of lightning flashing in front of her eyes, causing Wen Yao's breathing to be slightly suffocated, and her throat can't help but twitch, like a boulder falling to the ground, or like a fog dispersing.
She took a deep breath, then said slowly:
"Indeed, I did agree with that statement—"
"Ever?" The executive narrowed his eyes: "I can understand that, have you changed your opinion now?"
Wen Yao's eyes flashed a hint of wavering, and then quickly became firm.
She pursed her lips and said word by word:
"……perhaps."
"I have to say, you really let us down."
The higher-ups shook their heads and sighed regretfully.
Wen Yao's fingertips got stuck on the handle of the gun, and she replied: "Is your answer, can I understand it as a willful pursuit of war?"
"No, you're wrong about that."
The higher-ups showed a hypocritical smile: "Just with these people we brought? How stupid is the Administration... to think that they can take down a giant dragon with such a small force? This is death."
Wen Yao was startled: "Then..."
The man on the opposite side pointed their fingertips together:
"We just want to talk to your officer."
...Mu Heng?
Wen Yao was stunned.
At this moment, a cold and deep male voice came from behind: "Really?"
Wen Yao was startled suddenly, and turned her head to look behind her.
Under the blood moon that has not yet dissipated, the figure of the silver-haired man gradually emerged from the darkness, and his azure blue eyes reflected a thin blood: "What do you want to talk about?"
The higher-ups were also taken aback, and subconsciously stood up.
The indifference and composure when facing Wen Yao just now has completely disappeared at this moment, and instead seems a little reserved.
He showed a smile: "...Mr. Mu! It's really better to be famous than to meet—"
Mu Heng stepped forward step by step, fixedly staring at the man in front of him, with a cold voice:
"Haven't you been trying to contact me? Just to say these polite words?"
The smile on the other party's face froze: "No...of course not."
He coughed lightly, then said:
"Your importance to us is unquestionable, and we also believe that all the actions you did before were... impulsive, and before this time, I just hoped to put these past misunderstandings behind me and establish a relationship with you again. Great partnership, of course, all your requests - and I mean all."
He puts emphasis on the last two words:
"Everything can be satisfied, but I don't know you..."
"Would you like to slay the dragon?"
Mu Heng took the conversation lightly.
The other party seemed even more restless. After a few seconds of silence, he stumbled and said, "This... If you want to understand it this way, you can..."
Mu Heng laughed lightly.
I don't know why, but his laughter didn't make the senior management feel relieved. There was a kind of horror in the other party's voice that he couldn't understand, which made him instinctively want to retreat.
The silver-haired man stepped forward again, and said unhurriedly:
"Since I've already said this, I'll just make it clear."
I saw the man lowered his eyes, his eyes were unpredictable, and his emotions were difficult to distinguish:
"If you are against the dragon, you are against me."
"..."
The aura from the other party made the senior executives of the administration subconsciously hold their breath, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozes from the back.
"What happened a few days ago, I don't mind doing it again."
Mu Heng leaned over slightly, with a cold smile on his lips, but there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent surging in his calm voice: "Do you understand?"
The senior management was dripping with cold sweat, and subconsciously nodded.
"As long as you know."
Mu Heng straightened up and distanced himself: "Forgive me for not accompanying me."
He turned around, and his slender and straight figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Wen Yao turned her head and glanced at the dazed high-level executives not far away, then retracted her gaze, turned around and chased in the direction Mu Heng left.
Only the top executives of the administration were left standing there, with frightened eyes and ugly faces.
A few minutes later, his subordinate came cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Then...sir, what shall we do next?"
"..."
The senior executive's face was blue and white, and finally he clenched his teeth, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:
"……retreat."
After burning the entire mountain and the dragon skulls in it, Shi An closed his eyes and began to absorb the magic power pouring in from the outside.
After the absorption was over, Shi An opened his eyes, only to find that Mu Heng and Wen Yao were no longer there.
"Is it over?"
Zhuo Fu raised his head with some difficulty, looked at the huge dragon in front of him, and asked.
Shi An nodded: "Yes."
He raised his eyes and looked towards the light red night sky above his head: "He is free now."
"You mean the man in black?"
Shi An was taken aback, then lowered his head: "No, it's a fire dragon."
"Too."
Zhuo Fu patted his head and shook his head in frustration: "I haven't recovered from the scene of him rushing into the fire just now, and I subconsciously feel that you are talking about him..."
"He rushed into the fire?"
Shi An tilted his head.
"yes……"
Zhuo Fu sighed: "However, when you think about it carefully, this should be the best ending. When I was in the laboratory earlier, I gave him a whole body examination, and his internal organs and body were basically disintegrated. Alas, this is the result of human beings trying to gain strength and longevity that do not belong to our race-"
Shi An was slightly taken aback, as if caught by a certain thought.
Zhuo Fu continued to ramble.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of him, making him almost unsteady.
He raised his hand to cover the dust in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked above his head: "Hey! What's the matter!"
I saw the dragon spread its wings and fly.
Zhuo Fu was dumbfounded, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! Wait! Where are you going!!!"
The dragon didn't answer.
The silver-white figure disappeared in the night sky shrouded in the blood moon in an instant.
Zhuo Fu was left standing alone in the open space, staring blankly at the sky: "..."
and many more……
Mu Heng is back, how should he explain it! !
The dragon glides through the air.
The blood-colored moonlight fell on his back, coating the silver-white scales with a light red halo, like a smoky veil.
The wind howled in my ears.
Shi An was upset.
What Zhuo Fu said just now rang in his ears repeatedly.
"...this is the result of human beings trying to gain strength and longevity that do not belong to our race..."
"...a lifespan that does not belong to our race..."
Yes, human life span is limited.
Too limited.
Although the average lifespan has been extended to 300 years, for dragons it is just a snap of the fingers.
He has slept for more than 300 years.
The appearance of the man in black robe from before flashed in Shi An's mind.
Haggard white hair, clouded blue eyes, distorted features covered in veins and wrinkles.
Could it be... Will Mu Heng become like this one day?
No!
Shi An flew a little faster.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to the junction of Rose District and Aiwen District.
Under the reflection of the blood moon, a pitch-black canyon could be vaguely seen ahead, like a deep scar, branded at the junction of the snowfield and the volcanic group.
...this canyon.
Shi An was stunned, and subconsciously slowed down.
Regardless of whether they are powerful or not, all monsters will be affected by the blood moon. They will be more primitive, stronger, and more instinctive.
The moment Shi An saw this canyon, he immediately recalled his previous plan.
——How to perfectly and permanently preserve the fleeting collection.
He flew to the top of the canyon and looked down.
The translucent amber glistens in the dark, the smooth and clear surface reflects the blood-colored moonlight, and the silver-white dragon's figure under the moonlight.
Perfect, permanent storage.
"What about Shi'an?"
Mu Heng looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhuo Fu laughed dryly: "Shi'an...he just flew away..."
Mu Heng was startled, then turned to look at Zhuo Fu:
"Where did you fly to?"
Zhuo Fu's back felt cold, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "This... that... I don't know..."
Mu Heng's eyes sank.
Zhuo Fu was timid and backed away: "I, I really don't know! He didn't tell me when he left!"
Wen Yao looked at Zhuo Fu harshly, and shook her head: "You are really useless."
Zhuofu: "..."
hum.
For the next whole night, Mu Heng tried to find or contact Shi An. He even pulled out the three monsters from the warehouse, but they obviously had no clues.
If Shi An doesn't want to be found, then none of the subjects can feel his breath.
The air pressure on Mu Heng's body became even lower.
As time passed, the blood moon gradually fell, and although the sky was still glowing with a layer of light red, it had basically returned to normal, and the sky was faintly glowing with the dawn.
Mu Heng raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, with a rare look of anxiety on his face.
Perhaps it was some kind of hunch in the dark, or out of a good fantasy, he went to his original address in the Central District with a glimmer of hope.
The key was inserted into the lock, and there was a sound of metal snapping together.
The door was pushed open, and it was pitch black inside.
Mu Heng walked in.
The next second, he felt a powerful force coming from the front, pressing him firmly against the wall, the wall behind him made an overwhelmed cracking sound, and spider web-like patterns spread.
The muscles on the man's body tensed for a moment.
However, the moment he sensed the other party's breath, Mu Heng's body immediately relaxed.
The boy leaned closer.
In the darkness, those golden-red vertical pupils were like raging fire, shining with almost barbaric primitive violence.
He raised his hand and pressed Mu Heng's chest.
stab-
The sound of the cloth being torn by sharp claws sounded, and the clothes on the man's body instantly shattered into pieces, falling into the darkness one after another.
The icy palm covered with scales pressed Mu Heng's chest, feeling the frequency of human ribs rising and falling with breathing, and the rhythm of the living heart beating beneath it.
"Are you afraid?"
The boy's voice was clear and gentle, with a bit of pure curiosity, but otherwise, pure danger.
He pressed his cold body against the opponent's body, and touched the man's Adam's apple with his soft lips.
It's not like a kiss, but like a ritual before a beast bites the throat of its prey.
Mu Heng thought for a few seconds, then nodded.
"What are you afraid of?"
Shi An felt the rolling of the opponent's Adam's apple under his lips: "Death?"
"No." Mu Heng pressed the back of his head against the wall, exposing his fragile throat, and his voice was calm and soft, as if sighing:
"...I'm afraid you will leave."
"Then do you want to be with me forever?"
The boy's cold and deadly kiss fell on the side of his neck, and his moist breath brushed against his ears.
His voice was soft and sweet, as if coquettishly rubbing the tip of his nose against the man's ear: "Even death can't separate us?"
"Stay with me forever, okay?"
Mu Heng closed his eyes, his voice hoarse:
"it is good."
Like the seduced sacrifice in all fairy tales, he offered his soul, body...everything to the evil god without reservation or regret.
The sharp fingertips pressing on the chest suddenly penetrated.
He could feel the pain of his skin being torn, his ribs being broken, and his heart being clenched.
but……
what a pleasure.
He had never felt so close to Shi An.
In the next second, a more intense pain erupted deep in the chest cavity, as if scorching hot magma was injected into the internal organs, spreading along the meridians and bones, making a scorching sound, every inch of the skin was burning hot, The unbearable pain hit his nerves.
A suppressed muffled scream came out of Mu Heng's throat.
However, the cold body pressing on him never left, and even got a little closer.
I don't know how long has passed.
When Mu Heng opened his eyes dripping with cold sweat, the originally pitch-black room was covered with morning light, and the halo of the blood moon had disappeared, leaving only the clear sunlight.
The young man was bathed in the morning sun, his eyelashes were wet, the tip of his nose was reddish, and his golden-red eyes shone like they had been washed by water.
He was naked, and his soft and fair skin was coated with a layer of shining golden light, like a newborn god.
On the opponent's chest, there was a scarlet scar that had healed, and scales were faintly visible around it, which looked particularly bright and dazzling on the snow-white skin.
Mu Heng was startled, and threw his hands over his chest.
There was an exact same wound there.
The boy sniffed, looked up at him, and said solemnly:
"Then, I am willing to share my lifespan with you."
Mu Heng's pupils constricted and his Adam's apple rolled, as if thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't spit out half a syllable no matter what.
especially……
He knew how much Shi An was afraid of pain.
In the next second, the scorching hot palm of the human held the boy's slender neck, dragging him into a deep kiss that was almost angry.
The man's voice was low, with a little unconscious astringency, pressed against the young man's soft lips, and said in a hoarse voice:
"……why?"
Shi An raised his hand subconsciously, embracing the opponent's shoulder with his slender arms, and made a slightly trembling sound at the end of doubt:
"……Um?"
"Why are you doing this?"
Mu Heng looked at the other party, his eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, and his complicated and strong emotions almost swallowed him:
"You didn't have to—"
The rest of the words were stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down.
Shi An blinked his wet eyelashes, curled his lips, and there was still a bit of soft crying in his voice, and sighed faintly:
"Actually, I don't want to use this method."
"I was going to seal you up in a big amber forever, but..."
In fact, he has already collected all the amber, and it is now placed in the bedroom, waiting for the shiny silver collection to be sealed and contained.
But at the last minute, he changed his mind.
"……but?"
"But I found..." Shi An thought about it for a while, then raised his eyes, glanced at the human beings in front of him secretly, his voice gradually became smaller unconsciously, and said in a low voice, as if a little embarrassed:
"I seem to be a little bit reluctant."
Mu Heng's chest rose and fell rapidly for a moment.
He leaned down and placed a burning kiss on the other's lips.
The golden morning light came in from the window, dyeing everything into a fiery and beautiful brilliant gold, as if a whole new world was waking up.
"--I love you too."
With a hoarse voice, Mu Heng said extremely gently.
