- Chapter 294 - Land of Dragon Crystal
In the sky, after releasing the high temperature every day, Luo Yun drew an arc and did not fly back to the nest, but landed directly on the platform.
At this time, Yaji, Hao Fire Dragon and the first blue fire dragon of the ancient tree fire dragon group have been waiting for a long time.
The leader of the fire dragon Deter, the wise man of the fire dragon clan and the pig bone are also waiting here quietly.
These days, Luo Yun is not just idle after hanging the sun every day.
Every time after releasing the sunshine, after the feeling of being protected by the world subsides, the feeling of emptiness will surge again quickly, and it will become stronger day by day.
These days, Luo Yun spread the news that he will leave for a while and go to the dragon crystal land throughout the ancient tree. Some young fire dragons who joined the ancient tree fire dragon group later may not understand Luo Yun’s decision, but those fire dragons who have lived for decades know that this is an inevitable process.
It should be said that Luo Yun has not planned to go to the dragon crystal land until now, which is beyond their expectations.
As a flying dragon species with a high ecological niche, and with the geographical advantage of the ancient tree, why has the number of fire dragons on the ancient tree always maintained a relatively stable value for countless years?
In addition to the cruel elimination system, when the strength of the fire dragons reaches a certain level, they will go to the Dragon Crystal Land in groups to seek more powerful power, and only a few fire dragons will return in the end.
It should be said that it is not just the fire dragons on the ancient trees. Most of the monsters in the New World that can tolerate the lava zone will choose to go to the Dragon Crystal Land at some point.
Those who can fly are fine, but many of those who can’t fly are lost in the intricate miasma valley or earth vein corridor, becoming the nutrients of the New World.
Therefore, although the fire dragons were a little uneasy about Luo Yun’s decision, they were only worried that the young leader would never come back, not that he would die in the Dragon Crystal Land.
Apart from that, there was no other emotion.
It was just that when Luo Yun proposed to take some fire dragons to the Dragon Crystal Land together, only this blue fire dragon stood up in the end.
The reason is simple. The battle-hardened fire dragons on the ancient trees are basically those who have returned from the Dragon Crystal Land, or those who are old and no longer have the idea of fighting in the Dragon Crystal Land, rather than battle-hardened fire dragons. Luo Yun doesn’t want to be a nanny, so naturally he doesn’t want to take them with him.
Among the blue fire dragons, only the offspring of this blue fire dragon just left the nest this year, so it was finally decided.
On the big platform, accompanied by Luo Yun’s roar, the four fire dragons took off in the rising air flow, and after identifying the direction, they spread their wings and flew away.
“Damn, I’m still too weak, meow?” Looking at the figure that was almost invisible in the distant sky, Pig Bone hammered the ground unwillingly.
It is the captain of the Fire Dragon Guard, but when the Fire Dragon Boss chose to go to a strange place to improve his strength, it didn’t even have the qualifications to follow him, which made Pig Bone very uncomfortable.
“Since you know you are weak, then become stronger, meow.” The leader of the Fire Dragon Deter, holding his dragon scale cane, patted his son’s increasingly strong body, and after speaking earnestly, he looked at the wise man of the Fire Dragon Clan.
Next, they also have to speed up the construction on the ancient tree, and must make a satisfactory answer when the Fire Dragon Boss returns!
The investigation team climbed on the internal passage of the ancient tree on the thief dragon, and saw a golden figure from a distance, chirping happily while coming down the passage.
The thief dragons avoided one after another, and the cats seemed to be used to it.
Only a group of scholars exclaimed in a low voice.
“It’s a new monster that has never been seen before! Great, I didn’t expect to see a unique monster in the New World just after coming here! It’s so lucky!”
“Is this also a symbiotic monster unique to the ancient tree? It’s amazing that it doesn’t have any hostility towards us!”
The scholars talked a lot and directly defined the mantis as a creature unique to the New World.
The Grand Leader had no objection to this. After all, after the information about the mantis was passed back to the Old World last year, the Hunter Guild also reviewed it and finally determined that there was no relevant information about the mantis in the guild.
In response, the guild named this monster the Mantis and defined it as a unique monster in the New World.
When Luo Yun heard this news from the pig bone, he didn’t know what to say.
This was also unavoidable. After all, according to the time calculation, it was more than ten years before the mantis in the Old World was discovered.
Therefore, it was first discovered in the New World and there was no relevant record in the Old World, so it was no problem to attribute it to the unique species of the New World.
As for the discovery of the traces of the mantis in the Old World in the future, and the current conclusion was overturned after the investigation, it was no big deal. It was also one of the daily operations of the scribes to speculate the problem.
The investigation team and the mantis passed by side by side, and the excited scholars gathered their expectations to see the ancient dragon and moved towards the canopy again.
One hour later.
“What!! Fire Dragon Boss just left? Went to the depths of the new world? And we don’t know how long he will be gone?” The Grand Commander looked at Tonkotsu in disbelief. When he thought about explaining to the scholars who arrived at the Ancient Tree Research Base, he began to have a headache.
“Why today?”
The Grand Commander began to doubt himself.
Northeast of the Coral Plateau.
Time passed in a flash.
According to his perception of life energy, Luo Yun flew over the desolate Grand Canyon, crossed the Coral Plateau, passed through the territory of the Wind Drifting Dragon, and finally arrived at the northeast of the Coral Plateau.
Without stopping at all, he moved forward and climbed upwards.
The volcanic zone of the New World is the highest point in the entire New World. Even the flying dragon species needs to spend a lot of effort to successfully cross this chasm.
And the flying dragon species that are not good at climbing and flying, like the Explosive Scale Dragon, often can never go back once they leave the Dragon Crystal Land.
The flying dragon species are so hard, and the monsters that can’t fly can only enter the Earth Corridor from the Miasma Valley, and then follow the Earth Corridor to reach the Dragon Crystal Land from the inside. Once they are unlucky, they are very likely to be swallowed by the magma in the Earth Corridor.
With the continuous climbing and flying, the temperature in the air gradually began to rise, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air.
Black soil appeared, and a half-collapsed volcano with magma still flowing came into view. It should be the gap that collapsed for no reason mentioned by the battle dragon.
As Luo Yun moved forward, the sky began to become turbid and dark. These were not dark clouds, but volcanic ash brought by the eruption of magma.
As the altitude decreased, one volcano after another continued, and the red magma flowed out from the top of the mountain, flowing along the gullies between the mountains to the low-lying areas, and finally reunited with the earth veins in a hidden corner.
Rich life energy flowed with the magma, and the scorching high temperature made the air slightly distorted.
And Luo Yun’s destination, the Dragon Crystal Land, was located somewhere in this volcanic area.
“Gah!!”
The acid pterosaurs panicked and avoided, and Luo Yun and his fire dragons sprinted down quickly, each grabbing one, and biting it in the sky.
Living in the volcanic area all year round, these acid pterosaurs naturally have a bad taste, but here, acid pterosaurs are already considered high-quality ingredients. In addition to the assault dragon and monsters that can feed on ore, the main food source of monsters in the barren volcanic area is the corpses of other monsters.
After searching for most of the day, a dreamlike crystal land finally appeared in front of Luo Yun.
The huge life energy rushed over, and Luo Yun seemed to be in the ocean of life energy. Every cell in his body was cheering, greedily absorbing the invisible life energy in the air.
Before he completely entered it, the concentration of life energy had exceeded the branch of the earth vein corridor under the wasteland of the big ant mound.
In excitement, Luo Yun couldn’t wait to open the wings of the wind, creating a group of wind whirlpools, and flew rapidly towards the world of black and white.
This area full of life energy is centered on a huge crystal called “Dragon Crystal”, surrounded by constantly flowing magma and a special area formed by the interweaving of basalt formed by the cooling of magma.
The ancient dragons sleep in the miasma valley. Their life energy is integrated into the earth veins. Excessive life energy will overflow to form dragon crystals. Some dragon crystals will condense in the dragon crystal land, and the other part will erupt with the magma as the volcano erupts.
In other words, these dragon crystals are crystals formed by high-concentration life energy in an unknown way. It can even be said that these dragon crystals are the new continent itself, an indispensable element of the entire new continent.
Unlike the black clouds in the sky, after entering the dragon crystal land, the sky seems to have turned red, and broken crystals are scattered all over the earth.
Luo Yun stayed on a basalt, opened his wings comfortably, and let the huge life energy wash himself.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound came, and the few dragons who were shocked by the scene turned around and saw the Haohuo Dragon with flames burning all over his body, biting off a piece of dragon crystal and chewing it.
After a long while, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of dragon crystal fragments.
Obviously, this thing can’t be eaten directly by fire dragons.
Facing the gazes of Luo Yun and the others that seemed to be looking at him like a fool, Hao Huolong slightly folded his wings and looked around in a pretentious manner.
Not wanting to pay attention to this guy who was becoming more and more stupid, Luo Yun spread his wings and flew up again.
Next, it was time to find a nest.
As for how to find it, it was very simple, just find a nest with an owner and drive away its owner.
Among the four fire dragons present, only Cang Huolong was slightly weaker, so Luo Yun did not choose the basalt area that seemed to be higher and more suitable for fire dragons, but flew directly to the depths where dragon crystals and lava intertwined.
Rumble, rumble!
A dull rolling sound came from the dragon crystal channel. A monster with a heavy metal shell on its back and protrusions on the surface of the shell that looked like tire patterns was curling up its body into a “tire” at this moment, rolling and charging quickly in this narrow channel unscrupulously.
Suddenly, a ball of fire fell on its path. The Explosive Hammer Dragon, which was unaware of the explosion, was blown sideways on the side of the road. The gunpowder on its body was scattered all over the ground, turning red in the high temperature, as if it would explode at any time.
Climbing up with some difficulty, the Explosive Hammer Dragon quickly locked onto the golden-yellow female fire dragon above it, roaring in a threatening manner.
Yaji did not indulge it, and directly accelerated and dived. When the Explosive Hammer Dragon was about to curl up and turn into a tire again, another flame exploded on its side, causing the roller that had not yet formed to be overturned by the explosion again.
Fortunately, the golden shell covered with various rare metals gave the Explosive Hammer Dragon enough defensive capabilities. Although Yaji’s fireball was very powerful, as the bottom of the Dragon Crystal Land, the Explosive Hammer Dragon was able to survive well, so it still had enough confidence in its defensive capabilities.
However, this confidence disappeared completely after Yaji’s sprint and tail swing, which was covered with deadly poison.
Unlike the back, the defensive capabilities of the Explosive Hammer Dragon’s abdomen were much weaker.
Without any hesitation, he endured the pain and shook off a large amount of gunpowder rocks. The Explosive Hammer Dragon’s chin, which was formed by the fusion of a large amount of minerals and solidified into a hardness far exceeding that of steel, suddenly smashed down and detonated these gunpowder rocks.
A large amount of smoke and explosions stopped Yaji’s second return charge, creating a good opportunity for the Explosive Hammer Dragon to escape.
In the sparks formed by the friction between metal and the ground, the Explosive Hammer Dragon was like a racing car ready to launch, taking advantage of the smoke to continuously accumulate speed. When the speed reached the highest point, it directly launched and quickly escaped from here.
Just as it was about to rush out of the Dragon Crystal Channel, a huge flaming meteor fell and collided with the Explosive Hammer Dragon.
Accompanied by painful wails and a large amount of gunpowder rocks being forcibly ignited and detonated, the fat tail separated from the body, and the Explosive Hammer Dragon flew out of the smoke and fell heavily to the ground. When Yaji trotted over, it was already dead.
The blue-purple flames gathered, and Luo Yun, who was full of violent aura, gathered his open wings, picked up the body of the Explosive Hammer Dragon and flew deep into the Dragon Crystal Channel.
Yaji also grabbed the broken tail of the Explosive Hammer Dragon and followed Luo Yun into the depths of the Dragon Crystal.
This was the fifth day they came to the Dragon Crystal Land.
Finding the nest was unexpectedly easy. Originally, I thought there would be a battle, but unexpectedly, there were not many monsters nesting at the intersection of the Dragon Crystal and the lava zone.
After checking the surrounding environment, I found that the ordinary monsters basically gathered in the basalt and lava cave areas. For ordinary monsters that cannot directly use life energy, the depths of the dragon crystal lacks food and water. It is not very convenient for hunting or entering and exiting, and it is very easy to run into the ancient dragon inside.
So over time, in the huge dragon crystal area, only two-thirds of it is the activity area of ordinary monsters.
