Before more heavy memories came up - and before greater regret enveloped Qi Huan, the accident happened again.
This crouching giant dragon—this stone dragon, suddenly began to tremble all over, and the entire palace swayed with it. Qi Huan immediately staggered forward and picked up the blue amber with his healthy hand. Lord Shuangyue took advantage of this uncertain power to take Qi Huan's arm back while it was hanging in the air. The sound of joint friction was covered by the shaking sound of Shilong.
The sound was dull, with the unique friction of rocks. Hearing sounds in the water is much clearer than on the shore, so every time a similar accident happens, he feels that his ears hurt terribly. His eardrums are already protected by the silk clothes, but he can still feel a little pressure. The two of them kept backing up, watching the behemoth suddenly change.
It "woke up".
The eyes were still dark, but the dragon did "stand up." It no longer curled up, but straightened its long body, erecting its front body like a snake. The rocky parts of its body suddenly fell off like snake skin, but this "skin" was much harder. They fell off piece by piece as it moved. Each piece of skin made of stone is almost an inch thick. What on earth is that? What is it?
It should also be a dragon - probably, at least it is the same as the previous two dragons. But even without that bulky shell, it still looks bigger than the previous dragons. Its scales have a strange color and are somewhat mottled, which Qi Huan cannot describe. Rather, what is hidden under this layer of rock is a metal shell - a shell that has rusted. Those brown and reddish-brown scales are not as bright as the colors of the other two dragons. After almost all of its stone coat fell off, its eyes were still two empty holes. It used this hole to stare at the two people in front of it.
Qi Huan raised his head and faced the pressure, and even his shoulder bones could no longer feel the pain.
"Do you want to take action?" He asked Lord Shuangyue.
"It can't be beaten." Shuangyue Lord clearly made this judgment before he even took action. "However, it doesn't seem to be planning to fight us."
"Are you so sure?"
The dragon suddenly lowered its head, and the huge dragon head suddenly appeared in front of Qi Huan, and the water flow knocked him down. After he got up, he stood in front of the dragon, face to face with it. At this moment, the dragon suddenly pushed him against the wall, and its snout alone could crush him. But he didn't seem as scared as before. I don't know if this dragon gave him this feeling, or if his mentality had changed. Or both. He knew that the hole that swallowed Bai Ya was behind the stone dragon.
"Maybe you have something he wants."
"Amber?" Qi Huan was not very happy, "Isn't that giving the magic weapon to another clan?"
"Just try it first. You don't have a choice."
The words were unpleasant, but Qi Huan knew that there was really no way out. So he hesitantly stretched out his hand and spread it out, completely revealing the amber in his palm. It still exudes a gentle and cool light, able to shine no matter how deep the darkness is.
But the dragon didn't seem to react. It still stayed in front of Qi Huan, looking at him with empty eyes.
"No."
Qi Huan heard a voice. He turned back and asked Lord Shuangyue: "What did you say?"
"I didn't speak." Lord Shuangyue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Besides, I heard it too."
The owner of that voice was indeed not like Mr. Shuangyue. He didn't notice that feeling. It was just that there were only two people present, so he subconsciously thought so. Who could it be? The voice also fell directly into their minds and was conveyed to them through amber.
Could it be...
"Maybe you have something else?" Lord Shuangyue asked.
"...What can it be?"
Qi Huan put away the blue amber and started searching all over his body. Finally, he found two things on his body and held each in his hand.
A clear, heart-shaped colored glass; and a two-inch-diameter, gray-colored dragon ball.
The dragon's beard moved slightly. It first turned its head slightly and faced the hand facing the heart. In fact, from the moment he took it out, Qi Huan felt that this dead thing seemed to be vibrating regularly, just like a real heart beating. But when he looked at it, it was still quiet. Qi Huan almost thought it was an illusion.
But the heartbeat was too obvious to ignore.
I'm afraid, maybe it wasn't the blue amber that awakened it, but the glazed heart.
But this stone dragon didn't choose it. It turned its head, locked its target on another dragon ball, and made no other moves.
"Do you want this?" He was not sure, so he turned to look at Lord Shuangyue beside him.
"How would I know? You can do it if you try." Lord Shuangyue frowned.
Qi Huan leaned his hand forward, letting the bead roll to his fingers, then raised his hand forcefully and threw the bright dragon bead out. Shilong actually opened his mouth, took it in his mouth, and closed it again. Immediately afterwards, golden light suddenly burst out from its two dark eye sockets, which made Qi Huan feel uncomfortable. He covered his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly lowered his sleeves. When he looked at Shilong again, he had already raised his head, and the light in his eyes was slightly dimmed. Even so, the light was enough to illuminate the palace. Ran Wenba
"Who are you?"
It's really the dragon talking.
Qi Huan didn't react for a moment, he just raised his head blankly and looked at this strange dragon. This sentence seems to be completed through Lamper, but why not before? How could those two dragons be so unreasonable? They only knew how to run rampant, bite whatever they saw, and were completely unable to communicate.
But since I can speak...
"We come from the sea, the place beyond the sea - the land. I am a... human, not a shark, nor a monster. But my companions and I heard that the Dragon Clan occupied the Crystal Palace that originally belonged to the Shark Clan, and took over You took away the orbs that were originally agreed upon and were owned by the sharks. They said that you went back on your word and broke your promises, causing their people to never come back and causing countless casualties."
"One-sided words."
"...But what are you exactly? Are you a dragon too, or...something else? Why are you different from them?"
"One-sided words."
Shilong still said so.
"Then what is the truth? Are the sharks hiding anything from us? If so, tell me."
Qi Huan stared straight into Long's glowing eye sockets, with no fear in his eyes.
"Not worth mentioning."
"Who are you talking about, me? Or the shark? Are you looking down on me?" Qi Huan frowned and faced the giant creature in front of him alone. He didn't have any timidity or any intention of shrinking, he just stood upright. The clothes on his chest and silk clothes are still bright red. There is no air here, and if it were on land, it would be brown, just like the color of the dragon. He clenched his fists and then asked Shilong:
"And my friends - you should give them back!"
The stone dragon lowered its head slightly, stretched its neck like a snake, and got closer to Qi Huan. He took a step back to make room for it, showing no intention of backing down. Only Mr. Shuangyue remained motionless, watching all this silently.
"What you see is not of my kind."
"What?"
Lord Shuangyue put his hands in his sleeves habitually, and suddenly took a step forward. He turned around, stood between the awakened Shi Long and Qi Huan, and asked Long:
"You mean, those dragons blocking us don't belong to the dragon clan? What could that be?"
Shi Long moved closer, as if he had found someone who finally had the status to talk to him. What followed was a long look at each other, and Qi Huan didn't hear any sound - not at all. This struck him as strange. Human thinking is very complex. Blue Amber filters out useless information. In addition, any creature around you, even if it is too small to be seen, will convey its own unique thoughts. This Poseidon's magical weapon will dilute them into a Faint noise. Just like people walking on the road, there are natural sounds other than themselves. But now, Qi Huan's ears seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't hear anything. It was as if Lord Shuang Yue and Shi Long suddenly established a new connection, isolating him.
Maybe, it was in a way that he couldn't understand.
Qi Huan did not interrupt them, he just waited silently. After a long time, a very long time - so long that he felt numb, sleepy, and felt that he had to make some immediate changes, Shuangyue Lord suddenly turned his head and said to him:
"Those dragons, racially speaking, are still a type of dragon, but their identity is not the dragon clan itself. As the guardians of the Dragon Palace, these dragons are both real and fake. They are just illusions and silhouettes."
"How do you say this?"
"The guardian dragons are very small and do not have the wisdom and consciousness of the dragon clan. They only know how to protect this dragon palace. Because they are not from the dragon clan, but are the creations of the orb."
"Orb?!" Qi Huan's eyes suddenly widened, "You mean the shark's orb created those dragons?!"
"And that big pearl, isn't it originally a kind of dragon ball? It's just wrapped in the tears of the shark. The dragon ball we got is not a real dragon ball, it is a projection of the orb, and it is inferior. It is not like the real dragon ball. It's the same as the dragon ball, but at least it can wake up this friend... Of course, it is not a real dragon. The real dragon ball is more beautiful and dazzling, and the real dragon family is also larger. Some dragons can't even fit in the entire Crystal Palace. "
"So we have overcome obstacles all the way, paid so much price, and faced all the dangers, are they all fake and imaginary?" Qi Huan spread his hands, "It's all meaningless?"
"The meaning is not determined in this way. This friend is responsible for telling the visitor something... The orb created a false dragon and changed the structure of the Crystal Palace without authorization because it has its own consciousness - although these consciousnesses are also 'unconscious', It made adjustments according to its own needs. It could respond to the prayers of the outside world, but when no sharks approached, the part belonging to the dragon clan was still growing and developing. The afterimages of those fake dragons attracted the real dragon clan , and also caused the shark's heart to misunderstand."
"So there really is some misunderstanding?"
"The sharks are a proud race... but so are the dragons. The dragons' arrogance is arrogant and arrogant compared to humans, but in fact it's just that they don't take anything seriously. It's not necessary. Yes. To them, human beings are just like the thousands of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep in the world, there is nothing special about them.”
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.
