Where are the dragons?

Chapter 131

Inside the abyss, there is no day and night, only endless black fog gathered into a sticky sky, covering the barren and dead earth below, the ground is dark and jagged, the peaks are steep and straight, the abyssal species lurks in the darkness, climbing between the cracks to survive and live.

It's hardly the same as it was 10,000 years ago.

The dragon flame that was burning just a moment ago was instantly withdrawn in the next second.

The blazing fire fades, and everything goes back to darkness.

Though the wilderness has returned to silence, the aura of danger has not yet dissipated, and no Abyssal species dares to lean on this area.

They smell the scent of the powerful.

The opponent was a hideous creature that surpassed the limits of their understanding and had not descended in tens of thousands of years.

"......"

Shi An fell silent, staring at the strange yet familiar land in front of him.

What the hell is going on here!!!

He was a little freaked out.

Obviously, I just slept for a while! Why did everything change so much after I opened my eyes!

Suddenly, Shi An was slightly startled, and seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

He felt hastily toward his arms, and was relieved when his fingertips touched some familiar texture of fabric, and breathed a slow sigh of relief.

Well, well, well, well. I'm glad I still have my fortune.

The teenager sat down on the ground and pulled the magic expansion pouch out of his arms.

As soon as the bag was opened, the three demons rushed out.

"......"

At the sight of the dark and barren continent before them, the three of them fell into silence in unison.

Shit.

It always feels like it's not the first time this has happened what's going on.

"That ...... here is ......?"

Black Smoke asked dryly.

The teenager replied in all seriousness, "The Abyss."

Three Devils: "......"

The eye breaks the dead silence and slowly says, "May I ask ...... is there some strange spell in this bag? Something like compressing time or something?"

Why does it always feel like every time you go in and come back out, they feel like they've been isolated for a century?

Shi An scratched his head:

"I'm not going to lie, I'm actually not quite sure how this happened ......"

After all, as far as he could remember, he'd only slept a little, and then he'd gone home as soon as he'd opened his eyes.

It's outrageous!

At that moment, the magic worm that had been following Shi An for the longest time seemed to have sensed something, and it slowly, frame by frame, twisted its head around and looked at the teenager in front of it in a stupefied manner, trembling and saying:

"That ...... Lord ......"

Shi An: "Huh?"

The Demon Worm's voice almost drifted a bit, "You, you seem to have, quite a bit of, human scent on you."

It's worded more euphemistically.

In fact ......

It's more than a lot!

It was only vaguely mixed in a little bit, and now ......

It's all mixed up, OK!

What had happened to them during the time they had been hiding in the bag!

Shi An stared at first, then her eyes drifted slightly and she laughed dryly twice:

"Ahahaha, there is?"

He craned his head away somewhat unnaturally, an unnatural blush rising faintly on his pale face in the thick darkness.

Magic Worm: ".................."

Its expression grew hideous.

Eyeball sobbed twice, tears snapping down his face:

"My lord--"

Shi An, whose ears were deeply affected, had a jolt of energy, and drank in the moment, "Stop!"

"......"

The eyeballs were frozen in place with a bubble of tears, neither flowing nor collecting.

"Mu Hang, he's helping me too, who would've thought that the potion would fail at that time right?" Shi An said.

The Devil Worm's eyes suddenly went black, feeling worm-born despair.

The sky ...... adults even began to speak in favor of that human!

What favor? It's obvious that they have other plans, and their hearts are in the right place!

What is that human being capable of!

Black Smoke was stunned, "My lord, could it be the potion ......"

As soon as the black smoke's words left his mouth, the dumbfounded eyeballs finally reacted and immediately found an object to vent on.

It lunged ferociously, grimly wrestling with the black smoke, "It's all your fault! What kind of crap potion did you make there! The statute of limitations is too short!"

The black smoke was caught off guard by its attack, and held its head in disarray.

Seriously, this heading it didn't expect.

As the world's last dragon, Shi An's estrus problem was actually solved by a male human ......

--But that's at least less difficult than finding another female dragon.

It thought somewhat diffidently.

Shi An got a headache from the two of them, and yanked the two demons apart with one hand, tossing them aside to face the wall before turning his head to the Demon Worm:

"The bag is all right with the treasure, isn't it?"

After recovering his treasures from Administration that day, he had put them together, but it was only a pity that the Magic Expansion Pouches could not be stacked, and the Fire Dragon Skull had not been put in, but was instead in Mu Hang for safekeeping.

Although she knew the treasure would not be missing, Shi An could not help but double-check.

The magic bug turned around and burrowed back into the bag to take a look.

It quickly burrowed back, "Don't worry, my lord, none of it is missing."

Shi An breathed a sigh of relief.

He clutched the bag in his hand and stood up, lifting his hand to pat the dirt from his pants.

Black smoke drifted over, "What are you going to do next, my lord?"

Shi An : "Try to see if you can find a way back to the mainland."

The Abyss's power bonus to him was immense, and after only staying for a short period of time, he could already feel his magic level rapidly recovering, almost approaching his peak before molting.

Ten thousand years ago, with this level of magic, it would have been very easy to travel back and forth between the continent and the Abyss.

Shi An has a lot of experience with this.

The teenager slowly closed his eyes.

Strong magical fluctuations began to rise around him, and the surrounding black fog seemed to be stirred by some invisible force, accompanied by a hurricane whistling and swirling around him, as if it was a huge and deep vortex.

The breath from the giant dragon was released.

Although the three demons had long been accustomed to it, they couldn't help but tremble under the opposing party's pressure and subconsciously retreated towards the distance.

Hurricanes howled and gusts of wind, wrapped in powerful magic, swirled like blades in midair.

They can barely keep their eyes open.

In the black fog not far away, the young man's upright figure was faintly visible, as well as a pair of half-hidden golden-red vertical pupils, like burning bright flames, which clearly penetrated the darkness, transmitting a terrifying aura that made the demonic creatures tingle all over.

The three demons subconsciously held their breath and waited silently.

The gusts of wind died down, and the teenager's figure remained where it was.

Although she had anticipated this outcome, Shi An couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seemed that the passage between the abyss and the continent was indeed completely closed, and both returning to the abyss from the continent and traveling to the continent from the abyss were equally difficult.

Observing the gradual cessation of the magical fluctuations over here, the three demons gathered.

Demon Worm sighed.

As a stowaway from the Abyss to the mainland, it had some experience in this area.

The Abyssal Rift is a one-way passage from the Abyss to the continent, and by passing through the Abyssal Rift, the Abyssal Species will be able to leave the Abyss and travel to the continent, but the more powerful the creature wants to pass through, the more fully developed the Abyssal Rift needs to be.

A narrow crack is enough for that level of Devil Worm.

But Shi An at this level ......

That's hard to say.

The magic worm flapped its wings and flew up, landing on the teenager's shoulder.

As it was doing so, it suddenly thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, how much treasure are you missing from the humans?"

Shi An spoke up despite her low mood:

"Probably the only ones left are those in the hands of mercenaries."

"So ...... is sort of mostly recovered already?"

Devil Worm asked slowly.

Shi An raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the demonic bugs as he thought about it and answered with some hesitation, "...... Sort of?"

Demon Worm: "Speaking of which, there should be quite a bit of undiscovered treasure in the Abyss as well, right?"

Shi An nodded absentmindedly, "Uh-huh."

The Abyss was even more ancient than the continent, and the magical creatures that were able to live here were even more powerful, so to be precise, the treasures hidden here were probably even more numerous and precious than on the continent.

However, after collecting an entire cave's worth of treasure, Shi An is so busy slumbering that she rarely thinks to get up and look for it.

"If you want to, you might be able to collect more and more valuable treasure than you already have?"

Shi An thought about it and nodded again.

The Demon Worm pondered for a long time and spoke cautiously:

"Then ...... with all due respect, in a sense ......"

It lifted one of its little thin legs, pointed to the abyss behind it, and said, "Wasn't this always your plan from the very beginning of the fight?"

Shi An was stunned.

Put it this way ......

Indeed.

Wasn't that his plan from the beginning?

Recover your strength, find the treasure, and then find a way back to the Abyss to continue sleeping.

Shi An raised her eyes toward the darkness not far away.

The poisonous gas that was deadly to most humans was a more comfortable environment for him to live in, and the growth of magic that was inhibited by the continent was as natural as breathing here.

The dim light was unbearable for other creatures, but for him it was the perfect environment for a deep sleep.

This is the Abyss, his homeland, where his race originated, grew and withered.

Here he was able to do as he pleased.

It's a real shame about all that treasure left on the continent.

But here he was able to get more, and if he wanted to, he would soon be able to put together a whole cave full of gold and silver again.

It's almost time to go back to slumber.

What's not to like about ......?

Shi An blinked, a hint of confusion slipping under her long eyelashes in her golden russet vertical pupils.

The abnormal fluctuations brought about by the giant dragon disappeared.

After confirming this, the Director of Administration finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

While he did wish to leave the gargoyles behind for study, it was clear that the mercenary side was absolutely right that they didn't have the strength to do so.

So for prudential reasons, they had to abandon their pawns.

In fact, after such a long time of research, Administration had already discovered that the reason why that skull was able to contain such a huge amount of magic power was because there were fragments of the Fire Dragon's soul inside.

This is a transgressive, century-old discovery.

It is the only fantasy species of soul residue in the world, and represents the possibility of mankind's advancement into the realm of the soul.

That fire dragon skull was too valuable, a loss they absolutely could not afford.

Earlier in the so-called "deal", the Administration was forced to hand over the skull because they had no other choice.

Immediately after this decision was made, time became of the essence.

They have to make a choice.

Was it a choice to go to war with a powerful dragon of unpredictable likes and dislikes and unknown strength, or to return the fire dragon skull to where it came from before the other side destroys it, or at least make sure that the humans don't go home empty-handed?

After careful consideration, the Secretary chose the latter.

The Administrator sat down in the thick sofa and poured himself a glass of wine.

Watching the amber-colored liquor fill his glass, he finally felt a peace he hadn't felt in a long time.

He was very happy with the decision he had made.

The Director lifted his glass and brought it to his lips for a sip.

Before he could swallow, the shrill sound of a dripping alarm suddenly went off, echoing shrilly through the room.

It appeared that someone had forcibly breached the external security of his residence.

The Director was taken aback.

How is that possible?

As the Director of Administration, the security facilities at his residence are all top-notch, and can simply be called a brick wall ...... How could anyone be able to forcefully break and enter?

Frowning, he stood up and was about to summon his magic doll.

In the next second, a loud bang rang out.

The whole building was shaking and vibrating.

The Director's hand shivered, and the glass in his palm slipped and exploded with a thud on the floor, the amber liquor lying with the ice in the shards of broken glass, slowly seeping into the carpet, the dark wet mark looking as if it were a huge wound.

The door in front of us was forcibly and violently blasted open from the outside.

In the sky of dust and smoke, a slender figure was faintly visible.

Upon seeing the visitor, the Director of Administration was shocked and furious, his face red with rage:

"Mu Hang, are you crazy?!"

The silver-haired man didn't reply.

He walked in from outside without slowing down, his eyes cold and blue, his face indifferent and pale, with a sense of calm that had been deliberately suppressed.

However, that kind of inexplicable, suppressed madness, which was even more horrifying than any outwardly released killing intent hostility, made people couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine and a numbness in their scalp.

The rest of the Director's rage was blocked in his throat.

Under the pressure of the other party's aura, he couldn't help but take a step backward, his pupils shrinking slightly and the knots of his throat quivering and rolling.
