The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2697

After the Earth Dragon Lord's long and profound words, the entire Earth Dragon Palace seemed to be shrouded in an invisible silence.

Every Earth Dragon King was immersed in thinking about what the Earth Dragon Lord said. They were full of doubts and curiosity about Lin Dong, the human who was about to bring the little Earth Dragon Lord into the outside world.

After a long while, a dragon king wearing emerald green scales broke the silence. His voice was filled with caution and confusion:
"But Lord Earth Dragon, is that human really worthy of your attention? He is just a flesh and blood body. Compared with our Earth Dragon clan, he is far behind in both strength and lifespan."

Upon hearing this, Earth Dragon Lord did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes, as if recalling every detail of his observation of Lin Dong.

Yes, it had actually returned when Lin Dong was in the Earth Dragon Palace and learning the Earth Dragon magic.

And, watch everything.

However, it did not stop Lin Dong from learning the Earth Dragon Technique.

On the contrary, I am looking forward to it!

After a moment, it slowly opened its golden eyes, and said with a barely perceptible approval: "That human is not simple. With a human body, he was able to learn the magic of my Earth Dragon clan. This talent and understanding are rarely matched even among our Earth Dragon clan."

"In addition to this, this person has great luck, a mysterious power that even I cannot fully understand."

At this point, Earth Dragon Lord's tone revealed a rare seriousness and expectation: "Moreover, his bloodline is very extraordinary. Although I cannot fully understand it, I can feel the antiquity and power contained in it. Such a bloodline may play an unexpected role in the future troubled times."

Every word that Earth Dragon Lord said was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The several Earth Dragon Emperors present were all shocked when they heard this.

They had never thought that a human being could receive such high praise from the Earth Dragon Lord.

“Could it be that he is really the legendary...man who defies the heavens?” An Earth Dragon Emperor hesitated to speak, as if he had heard of an ancient prophecy but did not dare to jump to conclusions.

The Earth Dragon Lord shook his head slightly and interrupted it: "The prophecy is too far away and vague. We cannot make an accurate judgment."

"But what I can be sure of is that this human may have some unknown fate with our Earth Dragon Clan. Letting him take the little Earth Dragon Lord to the outside world for training is not only a test for the little Earth Dragon Lord, but also a plan for the future of our Earth Dragon Clan."

As the words of Earth Dragon Lord fell, the atmosphere in the entire Earth Dragon Palace seemed to become solemn.

Several Earth Dragon Kings realized that the appearance of Lin Dong might herald some kind of change, both for the Earth Dragon clan and the entire martial arts world!
"Then, Lord Earth Dragon, do we need to protect them secretly?" An Earth Dragon King offered his suggestion with a hint of worry in his tone.

The Earth Dragon Lord smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "No need. The truly strong ones grow in adversity. Too much protection will only make them lose the courage to face the wind and rain. Let them go. Only after going through the wind and rain can you see the rainbow."

……

The scene returns to Lin Dong and Little Earth Dragon Zun.

As the magnificent Earth Dragon Palace deep in the Earth Dragon Valley gradually faded away, the figures of Lin Dong and the Little Earth Dragon Lord gradually merged into the vast nature.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and falls on them, adding a touch of warmth to this unknown journey.

The little Earth Dragon Lord looked back from time to time, his eyes sparkling with golden luster, full of nostalgia and reluctance to leave the Earth Dragon Palace.

That was the cradle of its growth and its original home. But as Earth Dragon Lord said, a truly strong person needs to grow in adversity and needs to see the outside world. So, it took a deep breath, turned this reluctance into motivation to move forward, and followed Lin Dong closely.

Lin Dong felt the little Earth Dragon Lord's emotional fluctuations. He stopped, gently patted the little Earth Dragon Lord's back covered with tiny scales, and said gently:
"Don't worry, we will come back in the future. This will always be your home."

The little Earth Dragon Lord seemed to understand Lin Dong’s words. It nodded in a humane way, with a hint of determination in its eyes.

Then, it turned around and faced the unknown distance. Its eyes, full of curiosity and expectation, seemed to have seen the wonder and vastness of the outside world.

"Are you ready? Let's go!" Lin Dong said with a smile, his voice full of encouragement and expectation.

The little Earth Dragon Lord responded excitedly, and it took a step forward, leading Lin Dong, and strode towards the exit of the Earth Dragon Valley.

Along the way, it showed great interest in everything around it, whether it was tall trees, low grass, or even the occasional bird flying by, all of which attracted its attention.

It observes the world with its curious eyes, sniffs the various scents in the air with its nose, and feels the differences of this world.

Lin Dong followed behind the little Earth Dragon Lord, and looking at its excited look, his heart was filled with joy.

They walked towards the exit of the Earth Dragon Valley.

As the last trace of green at the edge of the Earth Dragon Valley disappeared behind them, Lin Dong and Little Earth Dragon Zun finally stepped out of this ancient and mysterious area.

The sun poured down from the blue sky, casting a golden glow on their journey, but it also revealed the urgency that was hard to conceal between Lin Dong's brows.

"Next, let's find an empty cave. I'm going to make an antidote." Lin Dong's voice echoed in the empty valley with unquestionable firmness.

The threat of the Deathly Souls Curse was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, constantly reminding him of the urgency of time.

He knew that every minute and every second was crucial, and he had to race against time to find an antidote to lift the curse on his body.

Upon hearing this, the Little Earth Dragon Lord immediately stopped. A hint of worry flashed in its golden eyes, but more of it was trust and loyalty to Lin Dong.

It nodded and sniffed the air around it, as if looking for the most suitable hiding place.

After a moment, it took a step forward, leading Lin Dong to move quickly in one direction.

They passed through a dense forest, crossed several gurgling streams, and finally came to a hidden cave.

This cave is located under a steep cliff and is surrounded by dense vegetation. It is difficult to be found unless you look for it deliberately.

The little Earth Dragon Lord used his claws to gently push aside the vines at the entrance of the cave, leaving a narrow passage for Lin Dong.

Lin Dong stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the deep darkness, with an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart.

However, at this moment, he sensed a faint aura, as if someone was secretly watching him.

"Who, who is hiding in the dark?" Lin Dong looked around and shouted loudly into the empty air.
