PFC Chapter 1323 A puzzling scene
Chapter 1323 A puzzling scene
Seeing the gap in the giant door getting wider and wider, although everyone present had not yet recovered from the shock of knowing that Lei Xiao was also God's chosen son, they still focused their minds and did not dare to be careless.
After all, ahead is the depths of an unknown dragon's lair, and at the end of this unknown space is undoubtedly the place where the dragon is crowned, and it will also be the place for a decisive battle with the culprit.
As the giant door opened, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the thick fog that poured out from the door, emitting an aura of illusion and sometimes reflecting bizarre scenes. Everyone was already familiar with this kind of fog.
"The escort team and the dispersal team move forward together to stop the spread of the dragon mirage!"
Connet, who had been ready for action, waved his hand and led a group of armored dwarf elves to control the sixth-level alchemical puppets, and dwarf elf illusionists in robes to control the alchemical puppets to disperse and start to open a path for us.
With the concerted efforts of hundreds of alchemical puppets, an almost transparent giant gray barrier condensed out of thin air, and then, with the cautious steps of the dwarf elves, it pushed back the fog that was pouring out of the door.
"Let's move forward too."
Lei Xiao led the other strong men to follow and stepped into the interior of the giant gate one after another.
After entering the giant gate, the originally compact team of dwarf elves who were clearing the way ahead slowly dispersed, causing the giant gray barrier to lengthen.
As the giant gray barrier moved forward, the fog ahead became thinner, and the scene inside the door was revealed to our group.
Compared to the space outside the giant gate, the space inside the gate is obviously much more spacious. The mountain walls on both sides are still engraved with magic patterns, and it seems that there is nothing special about it.
"I thought the culprit would play some tricks inside the door, but it seems that's all he can do."
Serin, who was deployed on the right side of the team, frowned and said with a hint of disdain in her tone: "When we arrive at the coronation site, I will definitely burn the culprit into nothingness with my own hands!"
"Hundreds of years have passed, but your character has not changed. Even dragon scales are not as stubborn as you."
Hong Ye was also deployed by Lei Xiao to Serin's side, and he snorted with disdain.
Hearing this, Serin bared her teeth and was about to refute, but was interrupted by the doubtful voice of Cornet in the front: "Your Majesty, everyone, do you smell a special smell?"
"There is indeed a puzzling atmosphere."
Lei Xiao secretly mobilized his own energy, strengthened his five senses to the extreme, and nodded slightly.
The smell is filled with decay, earth and a scent similar to rust, floating faintly in the air, appearing deep and mysterious.
"Could this be an illusion caused by the dragon mirage?"
Louise tilted her head and offered her opinion.
"Absolutely impossible. Although the dragon mirage here is more dense, our dispelling alchemical puppets are not just for show. They have been improved over hundreds of years in the dragon mirage."
Broy shook his head, and stuck close to a sixth-order golem puppet, saying with certainty.
After the fierce battle five hundred years ago, although the few sixth-level strongmen of the dwarf elves died one after another after being severely injured, their knowledge and heritage were all preserved.
Such as the sixth-order alchemical puppet and the dispelling alchemical puppet that is powerful enough to counter the sixth-order dragon mirage. Currently, the heir dwarfs including Cornet, although not yet at the sixth-order level, are only one step away from the sixth order.
After Broy finished speaking, the two sixth-level dragon warriors following Serin nodded in agreement.
As they are all members of the dragon clan, they will definitely not be affected by the sixth-level dragon mirage, but they still smell that faint strange odor.
“It doesn’t look like a dead creature caused by some poisonous miasma or forbidden spell, but it seems to be emitting an inexplicable aura of death.”
A look of confusion appeared on Shult's wooden face. He frowned and said, "I have never tasted this kind of flavor before."
After hearing what Shult said, everyone clenched their weapons and became extremely alert. No matter what was ahead, it must not be a good thing in the depths of this dragon's lair.
Just when everyone was feeling awe-inspiring, Cornette and the others who were dispersing the fog in front of them paused and assumed fighting postures, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao and others at the back of the team immediately looked straight ahead while preparing for battle.
The space ahead suddenly became extremely wide, and in the rather sparse fog, huge shadows appeared.
Although it was not clear, from the thick necks and sturdy bodies, they looked like giant dragons, scattered high and low, extending into the depths of the fog that had not yet dissipated.
After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao looked at it intently in amazement.
These giant dragons were seen in various shapes, some standing, some lying, and more in a wrestling fighting posture, with claws exposed and fangs interlaced. It looked very fierce and shocking, it was simply a battlefield where dragons were fighting each other.
But what is even more puzzling is that these huge creatures that are fighting for their lives are all in a motionless state, which seems abnormal and strange, as if time has been suddenly pulled away, and it is very similar to the petrified Winged People's barrier area that Lei Xiao had visited before.
"What on earth is going on?"
Looking at this shocking and bizarre dragon war scene, Cornette was the first to react. He asked in disbelief, "Why would such a scene appear in the depths of a dragon's lair?"
After Cornet finished speaking, everyone in the group was on high alert, but also looked puzzled.
There were no energy fluctuations from the battle here, and apart from the strange smell that just filled the air, there was not even a trace of blood. This undoubtedly meant that this was not a battlefield that had just taken place, but had existed for a long time.
But just as Cornet said, this is deep in the dragon's lair, and also the place where dragons are crowned. How could there be a scene of dragons fighting each other?
In confusion, everyone in the group couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In any case, this is undoubtedly a scene that ordinary people rarely see. How can one not feel awe-inspiring on the battlefield of the giant dragon, the overlord of the sky?
"Did they have further internal strife?"
Louise blinked her starry eyes, looked at Serin and said with sudden enlightenment: "Just like these five dragons?"
"We are not on the same side as them, so how can we have internal strife? We are just lying in wait for the opportunity."
Serin snorted lightly, then frowned and said, "Look carefully, these are not just our people."
After Serin's reminder, and with the dwarves such as Cornette dispelling more fog under Lei Xiao's command, everyone began to notice it.
In this incredible dragon battlefield, there are not only the red dragons that everyone is very familiar with, but also dragons with many other attributes.
There are such dragons as the earth dragon with a sturdier body and huge horns on its nose, the blue dragon with fins covering many parts of its body, the sound dragon with a slenderer body, and the green dragon with a poison sac faintly visible in its mouth, etc., which almost cover all types of dragons.
"There are more than just red dragons?"
Broy's eyes widened in disbelief, "But isn't this the lair of the red dragon? How could there be a dragon of other attributes?"
After Broy finished speaking, the confusion on the faces of the others became more intense.
As we all know, the dragon clan is a kind of magical beast with a strong sense of territory. They will never allow others to intrude into their territory at will. This is not only aimed at other forces, but also at fellow clansmen of other attributes.
To be more precise, the hostility between dragons of different attributes is even stronger, because dragons of each attribute believe that they are the legitimate overlords of the sky.
Because of this, in the hundreds of years after the blank era, devastating wars often broke out between the emerging dragon tribes, and the result was usually a lose-lose situation with no one gaining any benefits.
As time went by, after several wise dragon kings were crowned, in order to curb this situation, the Dragon Elders Council was established among the major dragon clans to regulate and promote exchanges among the major dragon clans.
Later, after the major dragon clans had put down their wars one after another, the power of the respected Dragon Elders' Council was further expanded, and they could even supervise and restrain the major Dragon Kings to a considerable extent, and this is still the case today.
From this, it is not difficult to see that no matter from which angle you look at it, this kind of scene of fierce fighting among dragons should not happen here deep in the dragon's lair.
"Could this be the remains of an ancient dragon battlefield from before the blank era?"
Cornette seemed to have remembered something and blurted out, "Or is it a misplaced object?"
"Absolutely impossible. The dragon's lair was built by us ourselves, including this hall area. Although we are not allowed to go deeper into the lair, there was no battlefield here at that time."
Serin shook her head and denied it: "Besides, don't forget that no remains can cross the blank era."
"But some special situations are not affected by the Lost Ruins effect, such as being petrified."
Lei Xiao, who was also full of doubts, pondered for a moment, and then commanded: "The current situation is still unclear, let's push forward and see, we must not be careless at all."
After hearing Lei Xiao's order, the group calmed down and began to walk into this vast underground space.
As everyone walked cautiously, the fog in the area ahead was soon completely dispelled, allowing the two giant dragons in the front to fully appear in the eyes of the group.
These are two earth dragons and a blue dragon fighting each other.
The earth dragon had a ferocious face, and the sharp horn on its nose was only one step away from the blue dragon's head. The blue dragon was not willing to be outdone, and opened its mouth full of sharp dragon teeth, facing the earth dragon's horn directly. There was only a few centimeters of distance between them, and then everything froze on the spot.
But these are still secondary. The most important thing is that these two dragons have no signs of petrification, but their scales are smooth and they look lifelike.
Noticing this, the faces of Lei Xiao and the other people on our side were almost filled with puzzlement and bewilderment, especially Serin and the other dragons, who looked at each other in astonishment.
The lack of fossilization marks means that these dragons are completely denied to be the product of the blank era. So how did these dragons appear here? And how did they freeze into this state? It is simply incomprehensible.
The only thing worth noting is that the strange smell that everyone smelled at the beginning became stronger.
"My Lord, look, there's something shiny over there!"
Louise, who was controlling several magic balls of light, had her eyes lit up. She immediately pointed and blurted out.
Although she also felt that the scene in front of her was very strange, because she was careless and not very smart, she simply gave up thinking and instead focused her attention on some minor details.
Lei Xiao noticed as he followed Louise's slender white fingers.
I saw a magic ball of light floating on the backlit sides of the two giant dragons not far away, and a bright spot of light was indeed reflected on the ground.
"Strange, no matter how smooth the dragon scales are, they can't be so reflective."
Serin was stunned for a moment, then said with certainty: "Unless they have minerals that can reflect light!"
"Minerals grow on a dragon's body? How is that possible?"
Cornette, who was at the front, was confused and began to walk cautiously towards the shady side of the two dragons.
However, when Cornette came to the shady side under the protection of the sixth-level alchemical puppet and looked towards the dragon, he was stunned and speechless with surprise.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and brought the strong men to where Cornette was.
For a moment, there was an uproar in our team.
In stark contrast to the front, the backs of the two dragons were covered with densely packed translucent purple crystals, and the light spots on the ground were reflected from these crystals.
These purple crystals with smooth surfaces, like small crystal clusters, occupied half of the huge bodies of the two dragons. Many of the angular positions looked extremely hard, comparable to a sharp blade.
What is even more shocking is that it can be clearly seen under the reflection of the magic light ball.
The dragon scales under the crystal have completely disappeared, and the thick blood vessels and blue veins of the dragon are exposed on the rough skin, just like a tangled web. This undoubtedly means that the crystal has completely merged with the two giant dragons, and even merged with the dragon scales that originally covered the surface of the dragon.
"What, what is this? I have never seen such a horrific scene. Could it be a parasitic blood crystal?"
Serin involuntarily took a step back, her fair face full of surprise.
Not only Serin, but also Hong Ye and other powerful dragons opened their eyes wide.
You know, dragon scales are the dragon clan's most powerful means of defense and the key to the survival of every dragon, just like skin. They have never seen or even heard of the strange situation of dragon scales being fused by crystals.
"Miss, the parasitic blood crystal is not this color, and many of its features do not match."
The sixth-rank dragon warrior stood up again, trying to calm himself down, and responded, "But what is certain is that they are indeed parasitized by this strange, unknown purple crystal."
"Parasitized by an unknown crystal?"
Listening to the words of the dragon clan strongman, Lei Xiao frowned, and a familiar figure quickly appeared in his mind. (End of this chapter)
