The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2694 Leaving
After learning the second level of the Earth Dragon Technique, Lin Dong had no time to indulge in the joy and began to prepare to learn the third level of the Earth Dragon Technique.

Lin Dong's figure seemed to merge with the surrounding rocks, with only his determined eyes revealing an unyielding light.

He sat cross-legged on a huge moss-covered rock, closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to capture the subtle rhythm of the third level of the Earth Dragon Technique.

However, time seemed to stand still, and no matter how hard he tried, the threshold of the third level was always out of reach.

"This third level is indeed extraordinary." Lin Dong sighed in his heart. He recalled that when he was practicing the first level, he was able to comprehend the mystery of it in just a few minutes.

Although the second level takes longer, it only takes a few days.

But now, this third level seemed like an insurmountable mountain, making him feel unprecedented frustration.

Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes and looked around. Those ancient and mysterious runes flickered in the faint light, as if telling the glory and vicissitudes of the earth dragon clan.

He knew in his heart that the third level of cultivation was not something that could be achieved overnight, but required a long period of sedimentation and comprehension.

Perhaps, calculating in months is the most reasonable expectation.

But reality did not allow him to delay any longer. The crisis on him was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any time.

The Death Soul Curse that had hit him was like a time bomb, forcing him to race against time.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"We can't delay here any longer. We have to leave this third Earth Dragon Treasure House. Then leave the Earth Dragon Palace." Lin Dong made a decision in his heart, and his eyes became firm and decisive.

Although the third level of the Earth Dragon Technique was extremely tempting, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate at all.

The biggest goal of this trip - to obtain the Earth Dragon Treasure - has been achieved. The next task is to go out and refine the antidote to the Death Soul Curse and remove the Death Soul Curse from the body.

As for the third level of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, I can only learn it later. Anyway, now that I have learned the second level, I have a chance to escape from the second-level ancestor.

The third level of cultivation method has been imprinted in his mind and will never be forgotten.

"It's time to leave."

Lin Dong stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and swept his eyes over this ancient and mysterious earth dragon treasure house again.

He bowed deeply to the little pterosaur, thanking it for everything it had been given.

"Senior, I'm leaving now. Thank you for your teaching."

The little pterosaur waved its wings and said, "No need to thank me. This is all up to you. Unfortunately, I can't see how long it will take you to cultivate to the third level."

"It will take at least several months." Lin Dong said, "I can't stay here in seclusion for such a long time. I have a lot of things to do in the outside world."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to tell me all this, just go." The little pterosaur flapped its wings again and said slowly.

Lin Dong nodded, then he turned and walked towards the exit of the treasure house, each step seeming unusually firm.

……

Time goes back to two days ago. The sun shone obliquely on the entrance of the ancient and mysterious Earth Dragon Treasury, covering this relic that had been sleeping for countless years with a faint golden glow.

Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, Aidan, Tiankong and Crescent Wolf King were gathered at the entrance of the treasure house, each of them with a look of anticipation and anxiety.

At this moment, the family amulets they each wore suddenly shone brightly, conveying the elders' urgent and serious message. "Quickly leave the Earth Dragon Palace, whether you have obtained the Earth Dragon Magic or not, you must evacuate immediately. The Earth Dragon Lord is about to return, and we must evacuate as soon as possible."

This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, making the five people's faces instantly become extremely solemn.

Yun Ruoxian frowned, her eyes full of worry: "Lin Dong hasn't come out yet, are we going to abandon him?"

There was a hint of reluctance and struggle in her voice, and she was obviously unwilling to give up waiting for her companions.

Hearing this, Aidan's lips curled up into a complicated smile, as if he wanted to use a lighthearted tone to dispel this heavy feeling: "How can this be considered abandonment? Maybe he has already encountered misfortune in the third level. People should always have some self-knowledge. I think he should understand the principle that greed is insatiable and the snake swallows the elephant."

However, there was a barely perceptible tremor in his words. Obviously, the strength that Lin Dong had shown before had left a deep impression on her, and he couldn't help but feel fear when he mentioned it.

Yun Ruoxian glared at him when she heard this, and her voice was firm and unquestionable: "Aidan, don't talk nonsense! Lin Dong will never give up easily, and he will not die in the third level!"

Tang Yun also stood on Yun Ruoxian's side, with a bit of blame in her tone: "Aidan, it seems that the lesson you received from Lin Dong last time was not profound enough."

Aidan was speechless for a moment after being refuted by the two people. He couldn't help but recall the humiliation of being easily defeated by Lin Dong before. The fear surged in his heart again, making him involuntarily want to avoid the topic.

So he hurriedly changed the subject: "Well, even if Lin Dong is fine, we can't continue to stay here and take risks. The second ancestors have sent clear instructions, we must obey and not cause trouble for them."

Aidan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

Although they were all filled with worry about Lin Dong, reason told them that Aidan was right.

Waiting blindly here may not only miss the best opportunity to escape, but also bring unnecessary trouble to the family.

Tiankong sighed, his eyes full of helplessness and reluctance: "Let's go, we believe in Lin Dong, he will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."

Crescent Wolf King also nodded, his wolf-like eyes flashing with wisdom: "Lin Dong is an extraordinary person, he will not fall easily. We retreat first, which is the best support for him."

In the end, the five people reached a consensus and decided to evacuate the Earth Dragon Palace first.

At the moment of turning around and leaving, everyone's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

It was the concern for Lin Dong, the uncertainty about the future and the fear of the unknown.

But they knew it was the wisest choice they could make right now.

As the group gradually walked away, the Earth Dragon Treasury was once again shrouded in silence, as if nothing had happened.

Time goes back to the present. When Lin Dong walked out of the third Earth Dragon Treasure House, he found that there was no trace of Yun Ruoxian and the other four people at the scene.

However, they left a message on a talisman here.

"Lin Dong, you must come back alive! We received a message from the Second Ancestors saying that Earth Dragon Lord will be back soon and asked us to evacuate first. We have no choice but to leave first."

"If you come out and see this message, leave the Underground Dragon Palace immediately!"

"Finally, I hope you can come to the Heavenly Alliance in the future. When you do, please come find me. I believe this will not be your final destination, Lin Dong. You will definitely return safely."

Finally, there is a byline.

Yun Ruoxian, stay!
