The grilled fish beside the campfire soon left only six bamboo branches stuck in the snow and fish bones on the ground.
Lin Zihan ate this grilled fish so deliciously that his mouth was covered with oil. Looking back at the four Shadow Sects, after learning that the man in blue was the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor, they were overflowing with aroma, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The grilled fish was also tasteless, and it felt like it was stuck in the throat and was difficult to swallow.
"Today's fish was not grilled well, I always feel like something is missing." The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor chirped, with a look of enjoyment on his face, but still seemed a little dissatisfied.
In such a land of extremely cold ice and snow, the bonfire that was lit failed to melt the surrounding white snow. Only the soot under the bonfire disappeared into the snow at some point.
"The Blood Dragon King's soul has disappeared, but the Hs virus in my body has still been activated." Lin Zihan wiped his mouth with his right hand, then grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it vigorously with both hands, treating it as washing his hands.
"If I had listened to you that night, maybe the result would have been different. I thought that with my current strength, after getting the spiritual core of the Blood Dragon King, I would have the ability to resist the poisonous strain infecting my mind, but I am still……"
Lin Zihan, who was smiling and happy just now, had his eyebrows lowered and snowflakes falling on his hair, like a rickety old man with gray hair.
"But time cannot go back, and you won't take her heart, right?" The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor said slowly. As a ray of dragon soul trapped in the Northern Wilderness by the Star Attendant, after a long time, it has already It can be transformed into, or even resurrected as, the blood power of a dragon.
"She is Instructor Wu's sister. I have always felt sorry for her. Although we are called brother and sister, in fact, I always owe her. It was my recklessness that killed Instructor Wu." Lin Zihan's heart was extremely heavy. The original incident What had passed, the flames of war that had dissipated, ignited in Lin Zihan's eyes again.
The sky full of artillery fire fell on the deserted high-rise buildings. The roars of ferocious beasts and the wails of individual soldiers sounded in Lin Zihan's ears from far to near, and could not be dispersed for a long time. The battle lasted for more than ten hours, even if it was Even the most elite individual soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally.
And that time was also the first time that Lin Zihan participated in the assessment of the extreme individual training camp. He accidentally entered the territory of the giant demon ape and provoked a lord-level giant demon ape, which was almost a king of ferocious beasts. .
Although the scale of the beast tide launched by the giant demon ape was far smaller than that encountered by Lin Zihan outside Nandu, the level of the beasts that time was much higher than the ordinary beast tide.
Although the ultimate individual soldier will be the main force facing the ferocious beasts in the future, facing the beast tide, no matter how strong the individual strength is, will be weakened. In the battle of beast tide defense in the city, the strong ones will often only face the beast tide. The initiator, instead of consuming the ferocious beasts all over the mountains and plains...
That was when Lin Zihan went deep into the wilderness area. Without the solid city defense behind him, and without strong support, all he had was the concentrated cannon and the sky-wide artillery fire he carried...
There are ferocious beasts on all sides. A punch from the giant demon ape will cause the ground to tremble and collapse. The exhausted individual soldier can no longer compete with the tireless and huge group of ferocious beasts...
That pillar of light soared into the sky, as if the sun had rolled over the stars, a rising flame, and a loud noise that swallowed up all the surrounding sounds, drowning the nearby abandoned buildings, the corpses, and the struggles...
In the silence, Instructor Wu sacrificed his life, and finally used his hidden life experience and the remaining power in the blood of the subspecies to gather the last energy of the shaped cannon, and died together with the powerful demon ape of the lord level.
The fire swept across and rushed to Lin Zihan's eyes. The blazing high-temperature flames drowned everything in an instant, submerging everything around him. The sea of fire swallowed up the surrounding ruins, and a soaring air wave lifted Lin Zihan's body away. …
With a shiver all over, Lin Zihan woke up from his memories. Looking at the bonfire in front of him, the sound of "crackling~" sounded, and the sparks flying from the fire were blown by the cold wind before they fell. destroy.
That blazing fire, the fire is raging, but it is not the fireworks that devour everything, nor the torrent that destroys everything!
The gentle firelight shone on Lin Zihan's face, adding a bit of warmth in this cold winter. After all, this bonfire was not the strong and raging fireworks, nor the fireworks of destruction, nor the fireworks that would take people away.
"That person is very important to you?" The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor looked at Lin Zihan. The flames gradually receded in his eyes, revealing deep black pupils and a pair of clear eyes. The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor couldn't help but be a little surprised. His hands were covered with stains. People who have lost their blood can still have such clean and pure eyes.
"Yes, although we only had a friendship for a short two months, or even just met each other a few times, he left this world forever because of me, without even leaving his last trace of ashes." Lin Zihan recalled that deep pit, a piece of scorched earth with no grass growing...
"It's hard to believe that a killer would value friendship and care about life and death. I sometimes think that for a life like a dragon that can live for thousands or even ten thousand years, a human's life span is just a period of time, but for this planet , human beings are just a drop in the ocean.”
As he spoke, the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor bent down and put his hand into the edge of the bonfire, groping around in the mixed snow and mud, and sat back down, holding two huge roasted sweet potatoes in his hands.
The aroma drifted in the wind to Lin Zihan's nose. The sweet smell instantly aroused the greed in Lin Zihan's stomach. The long-lost aroma made Lin Zihan return to that intersection and look at the hawker carts eagerly. Grilled sweet potatoes served...
"It's almost ready to eat, eat first, first!" Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor said, then he stuffed a roasted sweet potato into Lin Zihan's hand, and began to peel his own roasted sweet potato in an orderly manner. The red sweet potato was like flowing honey. , as the black armor peeled off, revealing a soft body.
"Hiss~" Lin Zihan was still in a daze, but a roasted sweet potato was already stuffed in his hand. The roasted sweet potato he just took out from the fire made Lin Zihan's hand red and hot in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor's nonchalant look, Lin Zihan began to wonder if this was the incarnation of the dragon soul. Why didn't he care about the inheritance of the dragon at all? He only knew how to eat, and it seemed to be very edible.
Lin Zihan looked at the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor, and then at the roasted sweet potato in his hand. He flipped it between his hands a few times, with a hesitant look in his eyes. He was at a loss for a moment, and his brows showed confusion and confusion.
"You're waiting for me here just to treat me to grilled fish and sweet potatoes, right?" Lin Zihan asked a little warily, with a look of disbelief on his face. This is not what the inheritor of the Dragon Clan should do. Logically speaking, Shouldn't he force himself to inherit the dragon's will and inherit the dragon's blood?
"What a shame, I've been trapped in a dark cage at the top of this snow-capped mountain for who knows how many thousands of years. I finally got out. Can't I just enjoy it?" The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor put a bite of roasted sweet potato into his mouth. He chewed it quickly and swallowed it.
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold!" the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor ordered, not paying any attention to the surprised and trembling eyes of the four Shadow Sects. All they could see was Lin Zihan in his prime.
Seeing the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor who only cared about eating, Lin Zihan could only smile and say nothing, because Lin Zihan didn't know what to say at all. The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor didn't seem to care at all about Long Zi or the Star Attendant. It's just like finding someone to eat roasted sweet potatoes with.
Soon, the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor destroyed a roasted sweet potato with a whirlwind, and Lin Zihan almost finished the smaller roasted sweet potato. Both of their faces were more or less stained with ashes, like a painted face. kitten.
"It's almost finished. What are you waiting for here? Let's go and do what you should do." The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor looked at the four Shadow Sects and Lin Zihan who were still sitting on the tree trunk, with a bit of displeasure on his face. It seems that they are ignorant.
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, we..." Gui Chan looked at the other three people. The four of them exchanged glances and looked at the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor, with Junjun showing confusion.
"We really want to know, is the shadow the inheritance of the dragon, or is it just the dragon's pawn?" The four shadow sects also knew what they said, and seemed to be a little disobedient to the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor. They all stood up and took a step back, kneeling on one knee. On the ground, his hands were folded in front of him, with pious and expectant eyes in his eyes.
"They are chess pieces. After all, you humans have only obtained some dragon secrets, and you don't have even half of dragon blood. How can you inherit it? At most, you can be regarded as servants." The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor didn't care, and his body shook. He leaned against a severed branch protruding from the tree trunk, looking at ease.
As soon as these words came out, not only the four Shadow Sects were shocked, but also Lin Zihan. In Lin Zihan's understanding, he always thought that Long chose a group of people to establish the Shadow, and wanted them to transfer Long's unfinished will. Passing it on, or unveiling the dragon's veil to the world, is the continuation of the dragon spirit...
However, the dragon that Shadow has believed in for generations has never regarded Shadow as an inheritance, only as a group of servants.
"What about the people of the subrace? Are they also chess pieces of the dragon? Chosen chess pieces to protect the dragon clan ruins hidden in the poisonous fog area?" Lin Zihan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his gaze towards the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor was no longer peaceful. , but with a strong killing intent.
"That's right. It's just that the sub-race tribe was able to establish itself in the Poisonous Mist Area because of the dragon's blessing. As for whether it is a chess piece or an inheritance, it depends on how the only dragon in the world is chosen!" The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor was not because of this. Lin Zihan showed a hint of displeasure at the sudden murderous intention, but he still looked tepid.
"The only dragon?" Lin Zihan muttered to himself and repeated, "Me?"
"Hmm~!" The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor nodded and let out a low groan in his throat, which was an answer to Lin Zihan's question, "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while, don't bother me!"
The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor waved his hand, and a blue hurricane suddenly descended, landing between the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor and a few people. The violent hurricane isolated the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor. When the hurricane dissipated, the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor had already disappeared.
There are only five people's footprints on the ground that are not completely covered by ice and snow, as well as the bamboo branches stuck on the ground, and the almost burned out bonfire...
…
"Disciple, tell me the truth, is that person really the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor just now? The Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor, one of the three top powerful dragons recorded in the history of dragons, the emperor of the Ice Dragon clan?" Fu Tu I asked as I walked, the snow under my feet making a "crunch~crunch~" sound.
"Probably! I don't know. After all, in Yuanxing, I think the only ones my bloodline can sense are dragons, and most dragons should submit to the bloodline of the Blood Dragon King. But the feeling he gives me is... He seems to be an old friend." Lin Zihan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking slowly.
"Then what happened that night he said?" Gui Chan asked in confusion. Lin Zihan obviously had something to hide. Whether he and Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor had known each other for a long time, it was the night the two people said. that matter.
"It was the last night of the first exploration in Beihuang. He set up a barrier and found me. At that time, I just felt a powerful energy coming from somewhere, so we had a fight. In the end, I reluctantly He can defeat him by half a move, and this half move is the poisonous strain~!
So he told me that if I take away the blood of the Dragon Warrior and let my bloodline return to its peak, I can resist the erosion of the mind by the poisonous strain..."
Lin Zihan told everything about that night, with a bit of understatement and concealment, "That's all!"
"It seems that the Ice and Snow Dragon Emperor doesn't seem to care about Long Zi's inheritance. Could it be that the Golden Dragon Emperor's original intention is not to inherit the bloodline?" Gui Chan was also a little confused after listening to Lin Zihan's description, and looked at the other three Shadow Sects with puzzled eyes. .
The four of them looked at each other again. After all, who could completely guess what happened to the dragon? They just took over the inheritance from the previous Shadow Sect and continued it again.
