"It is indeed a kind of arrogance to skip the discussion and even omit the notification." Qi Huan shook his head helplessly, "No wonder the sharks are so angry. Presumably a hundred years ago, the dragon clan did not have a good dialogue with them face to face. Bar."
"Not really, there was indeed an equal dialogue between them. Naturally, there are outstanding ones among the sharks who can gain the eyes of the dragon clan, otherwise the dragon clan would not have entrusted the orb to them. At that time, the dragon clan believed that even if the sharks It doesn’t matter if you hold that dragon ball. But things are different now. They feel that today’s sharks have bad conduct and are no longer as respectable as they used to be.”
"Why? There must be some misunderstanding. But...Shilong said before that what we heard was only one-sided words?"
"Indeed. They gave the sharks a chance to communicate, but -"
"They refused?"
"That's natural."
"But... taking it by force just because you were rejected is no different from taking it openly from the beginning."
"Courtesy first, then attack." Lord Shuangyue smiled, "I have said that dragons are very arrogant. Of course, so are the sharks."
Qi Huan was puzzled: "But why does Baozhu..."
"Well..."
Lord Shuangyue turned to look at the bulky stone dragon. Shi Long looked at Qi Huan, and the two bright lights in his eyes suddenly danced, as if two small light dragons suddenly emerged. They entangled each other, moved quickly to Qi Huan, separated again, and suddenly poured into Qi Huan's eyes.
At that moment, his eyes felt stinging due to photophobia, but just for a moment, another scene appeared in front of him.
He saw a very special fish...no, it was a shark. But her tail was so eye-catching that he ignored the human form at first glance. That tail sparkles with gold, like a gold mine, like clouds on the horizon. But it’s much more than just one colour. In the swaying sea water, her tail scales trembled slightly, reflecting various colors. Whether it is the bright red like a star fish, the tender green of fresh seaweed, the warm yellow of the sand that is illuminated by the sun through the water waves, the unique blue of the sea, or other colorful and gorgeous colors like coral bushes, they all blend together just right. Among the distinct layers of golden scales. It is so dazzling, as if it is all-encompassing, and no craftsmanship in the world can match such uncanny craftsmanship.
The body connected to the gorgeous fish tail is a skinny old man.
The old man was wearing a thin layer of white gauze - it was dragon gauze. Compared with the almost transparent colored cloths on Qi Huan and the others, the white is impenetrable. The solid white is either linen or silk. But when it floats with the water flow and people's movements, a shallow, colorful light will pass over it.
This silk dress was obviously made after people on land, but it was a very old style. Qi Huan remembered seeing it in his hometown. Even what I saw in my hometown was a collection from hundreds of years ago. It was said to be a burial object of a dignitary. Although that piece is very old and will break if you grab it, the style of the collar and the pattern of the cuffs are exactly the same as the one worn by the old shark.
Her thin and dry body was wrapped in this shroud-like dragon's silk to make it appear that she was not so abrupt when connected to such a moving long tail. She was dry and thin, and her green eyes were a little cloudy, like emeralds shining on dead wood covered with cotton wool. The bright fins on her wrists and ears did not bring out her complexion, but made this strange difference more obvious. But those are certainly a part of her, that's undeniable.
The same goes for her hair - it is long silver-white hair that complements the dragon gauze. The long hair was slightly curled, fluffy and soft, like large sheets of dense sea foam, reminding him of Miss Quan's hair. However, the old man's is grayer, which may have something to do with her age. She sat on a floating "chair" and leaned her back against the back of the chair. The front of the chair looked as smooth as the inside of an oyster, and the back looked as rough as the outside.
Could it be that she is...
He calmed down and suddenly realized that what she was facing was a huge monster.
That's a...mirror? No, that should reflect a human figure. But what is that? Somewhat smooth, but with a subtle arc. It is black, like the surface of polished obsidian. The old man put a golden outline on it.
It suddenly closed for a moment, then opened slowly.
That's one eye of a dragon!
Qi Huan felt himself trembling all over. This dragon was so big that he couldn't see its whole face. He only knew that it had black eyes and a face like the rock wall. Looking around, the color of its face is everywhere, covered with dark green velvety seaweed, and soft, flesh-colored sea anemones, which are swaying in the wind. Shrimps and crabs crawled over the short corals that covered it, and starfish moved slowly on the jagged barnacles.
A huge dragon - a huge dragon, entrenched here, stacking its body layer by layer, revealing a spacious space. The only light source here is a section of dragon horn exposed on the side of the dragon's forehead. It actively emits a soft white light.
The old man was calm and collected.
They were negotiating, a silent negotiation.
Finally, the old man shook his head.
The old man represented the entire species of sharks and refused the dragon tribe's request to take away the orb. three k
The dragon left without any hesitation. It first pulled out its head from the overlapping body, and the scene suddenly fell into darkness. Immediately afterwards, although Qi Huan stayed still, he could still feel a powerful ocean current disrupting everything in an instant. The giant dragon disassembled its folded body and left from a certain direction. Compared to this bulky body, it swam very fast and disappeared without a trace in an instant. When it pulled away from the body, it formed a huge vortex, and the waterspout sucked everything in crazily. There was no sign of life around it.
The whirlpool calmed down, and a large group of sharks appeared from nowhere. They all crowded around the old man like crazy. Among the chaotic crowd, Qi Huan seemed to see the familiar orange-tailed female mermaid, who was in her middle age.
Although he didn't hear any sound, Qi Huan had clearly learned the whole story.
The shark's orb is "alive".
After peeling off the nacreous frost shell, the core of the orb is the dragon ball of the legendary little dragon. The Dragon Ball is the condensation of the dragon's life and mana, as important as its brain or heart. Although the dragon will not lose its life immediately after leaving the Dragon Ball, for the dragon clan, thousands of years of practice and spiritual power are almost gone. Losing it is like a warrior losing his armor on the battlefield - like a human being being stripped of a layer of skin. After delivering the dragon ball to the little girl, the little dragon disappeared. He is probably still alive, or he is probably dead. The dragon ribbon on his body can still keep him looking like a mermaid, but it cannot make him return to the dragon body and return to the powerful and arrogant world of dragons.
Compared with its kind, it is just an immature fool with too many unnecessary emotions. The biggest difference in concepts between the dragon clan and the shark clan lies in their views on their fellow clansmen. The sharks have a strong sense of family. As long as you are a shark with a body and a fish tail, you are their relative. In their concept, there is no such thing as "surname". Surnames are just a product of human beings distinguishing family lineage. Although the Dragon Clan does not have competition for resources such as territory, money, and population between cities or between countries, nor does it have a strict class system, but for dragons, power is everything - of course not limited to brute force. It also includes spells, wisdom, and other spontaneous things. Their concepts are similar to monsters, but they are not on the same level as monsters.
The dragon race is an older and more profound race. In the eyes of humans, they are the creatures closest to God from birth.
Dragon Balls - the essence of dragon life, are a rare treasure.
That little dragon was alive and still alive to this day. However, over a long period of time, it has undergone changes that are beyond human understanding, and even beyond the understanding of dragons. It exists in a special way, which probably cannot be understood by the sharks, and Qi Huan has no way of knowing it in this phantom. But that way of survival and existence has obviously attracted the attention of the Dragon Clan. It must have exerted a powerful and absolute influence to some extent, which made the Dragon Clan think of taking back the Dragon Ball.
That orb would give birth to new life—a new soul, a soul with a way of being that cannot be deciphered.
The Dragon Clan needs it, and the Dragon Clan also has the ability to hatch it.
But the shark was unwilling to hand it over.
If the orb is handed over, the shark will no longer be able to turn into a human and leave the ocean. Like the little girl in the legend, cutting open the tail of the fish with a shuttle? Who will try it?
Perhaps the "selfish" way the sharks leave the orbs behind is the same thing as the dragons' self-centered desire to get back what they gave away. Qi Huan couldn't comment on whether this was a selfish choice. He is just a human being, neither a shark nor a dragon. He is just...a member of the human species.
"So the so-called misunderstanding deepened. The Dragon Clan omitted the next part of the communication and exchange, and directly made its own judgment - to increase support for the Dragon Palace and meet all the conditions required by the orb. Among them, there is what it hopes for , stay away from outside disturbances, including the sharks. Therefore, obtaining fake dragon beads from those dragons, as well as other special magic weapons, are inevitable conditions for awakening the stone dragons. For the time being, it can be regarded as the dragon clan recognizing the strength of the visitor's dialogue. "
"The sharks didn't tell us about the negotiation." Qi Huan frowned and looked at Lord Shuangyue, "They lied to us."
"It's just a concealment, and it's an insignificant part." Shuoyue Jun commented.
"How can it be insignificant?"
"It doesn't count even if you say so." Lord Shuangyue shrugged nonchalantly, "It's your Shaoxia Bai who is planning to use your people as a favor. It has nothing to do with the dispute between the two clans."
"Bai, Bai..." Qi Huan suddenly stepped forward, passed Lord Shuang Yue and quickly approached Shi Long, "Where is Bai Ya? That person just now! Where has he gone? Is it some entrance guarded behind you? Also, there is There is a woman in Liu Shenghan next door, she..."
"Oh, I am deeply touched by how affectionate you are."
It was another voice, not belonging to Qi Huan, Bai Ya, or this stone dragon.
Thoughts cannot distinguish voices, but Qi Huan knew that its owner must be a woman. A woman who is always so calm, somewhat deep, and somewhat gloomy.
Liu Shenghan didn't know when he was sitting on top of Shi Long's head, shaking his legs. She looked unharmed, with not even a trace of blood on her body. However, the layers of green silk clothes originally piled up at the feet were torn, making them look short and torn.
Qi Huan was so excited that he almost fainted.
"when will you--"
"I just came here too." She jumped down from the dragon head, still hovering nearby, floating high above Qi Huan, "Coming back from... below, from a deeper place. It is an endless place, I left hastily without touching the bottom of it. But I guess that Bai Shaoxia will definitely face an unspeakable situation. We... have to find him. The details will be discussed on the way. "
Ignoring the thousands of words in Qi Huan's heart, Liu Shenghan suddenly took out his pen and left an ink mark on each of Long's two eye sockets.
This is called the finishing touch.
