King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 563 Regaining Strength
It was still night, and the stars were pouring down, covering Haiji Island with a layer of hazy starlight, making it even more beautiful.

Today's night is particularly quiet - because the dragon lizards rarely make any noise today.

As for why there was no fuss, it was naturally because the dragon lizards also wanted to review the strange experience of the last battle.

Under the rugged cliffs, the dragon lizards gathered together and started chatting under the night light.

Underground, the eyes of the dragon lizards are extremely bad. They hate the sun that shines differently.

Therefore, subconsciously, the dragon lizards' powerful ability to adapt has directly transformed them into beings that do not require vision.

But now on the surface, the sun is still as selfless as before, and the eyesight of the dragon lizards has gradually become sharper again.

It only took less than a month for the dragon lizards to go from being nearly blind before to having astonishing eyesight now, which shows their ability to adapt.

"Chief, is this really the surface?"

A dragon lizard was sitting on the ground. It recalled its experience yesterday and couldn't help but ask the two big dragon lizards in the center.

In the impression of dragon lizards, humans have poor individual strength, but they have many clever ideas and can always make them suffer in unexpected places.

Moreover, in the eyes of the dragon lizards, humans are still synonymous with cowardice. No matter what they do, they always like to hide behind the gods.

It was like this when we occupied the surface, and it was still like this when we got to the underground palace.

The dragon lizards have been holding their breath deep in their hearts. If it wasn't for the mysterious gods that kept coming to Yuanxia Palace, then there's no telling who was being driven out!
"This is the surface!" The two big dragon lizards looked up at the bright moon above their heads and hammered the surface hard.

These breezes, these streams, and the falling starlight... all tell the dragon lizards that this is the surface.

"But why have humans become...become more powerful than us!" Youlongli thought for a moment, and then asked again.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately stood up and retorted as if they had stepped on the tails of other dragon lizards.

"Who said that! You are weak! Me! Beat five humans!"

The retorted dragon lizards displayed their bodies in front of their companions, showing off their strength to other members of their own race.

However, the dragon lizards on the other side were not frightened at all. They just scratched their heads and said seriously:

"Human beings used to be afraid of [death], but now they are not afraid of [death]."

"[Death]? Fake thing? There is no Long Xin!"

The dragon lizard, who was flexing his muscles, stopped his movements and said with disdain. To them, death is just a lie made up by other races to scare dragons.

"But they are not afraid of pain. Are you not afraid of pain?"

"..."

The dragon lizards on the other side stopped talking. They tilted their heads, their eyes full of confusion, and their heads were suddenly burned by these words.

"Wow! Dragon, defeated by humans!"

It took a long time for these dragon lizards to turn around. They shouted loudly among the dragons, as if they couldn't believe this conclusion.

The two big dragon lizards looked at their fellows running around them, and stopped them when they were tired from running.

"Chief...leader, humans are stronger than dragons, what should we do?!"

The dragon lizards raised their heads and saw two large dragon lizards that were several times larger than themselves, and their eyes shone with light again.

Not only are their leaders the ones with the deepest elemental power among the dragon lizards, they are also the strongest ones specially selected by the humans in Yuanxia Palace.

As long as the leader is here, all difficulties will be solved!

The dragon lizards all thought this in their hearts.

Feeling the attention gathered from all around, the two big dragon lizards stood up straight. They waved their huge dragon claws and said angrily:
"No need to be afraid! Humans are no better than dragons!" The big blue dragon lizard shook its head, causing its nearby companions to gradually quiet down.

Then the big purple dragon lizard next to it also struck while the iron was hot, and then added: "Humans are not afraid of pain and are stronger than dragons. But dragons are strong and stronger than humans!"

"So, humans are not necessarily stronger than dragons!"

Two big dragon lizards are cheering for their companions. In the last battle, the dragon lizards were simply frightened by the big changes in humans.

When tomorrow comes, we will know who is stronger or weaker between dragon lizards and humans!
"Roar!!!" The surrounding dragon lizards heard their leader's encouragement, swept away their previous decadence, and became extremely excited.

"Yes, fight!"

"Compete with humans!"

"Dragons must be stronger than humans!"

One by one, the dragon lizards were eager to rush up the cliff and have a bloody fight with the humans. But soon, there was a voice that calmed down the dragon lizard a little.

"It's so dark, it's time to go to bed."

After saying that, the dragon lizard that made the sound yawned, shrunk its limbs, curled its tail, and slept on the ground.

When the other dragon lizards saw this scene, they also reacted. They looked up at the sky and saw that the moon had reached the center.

"It's dark! Go to sleep!"

"Fight tomorrow!"

"Dragon also wants to sleep!"

The dragon lizards' thoughts are jumping very fast. They were just talking about how to teach humans a lesson, but now they are busy looking for a good place to sleep.

"call……"

After a while, there was a call, and Haiji Island finally fell into silence in the middle of the night.

……

At dawn, the sun only emits light below the sea level, and its body has not yet completely risen.

Except for the vigorous morning light in the east, the entire sky was still in slight darkness.

It was supposed to be the quietest day of the day, but suddenly there was a loud noise.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deafening explosions continued one after another, and the ground began to tremble uncontrollably.

From time to time, several dazzling rays of light jumped out from the bottom of the cliff, landed on the ground and exploded.

"No, the dragon lizard is attacking again!"

The defenders on the cliff reacted quickly. After a loud alarm, everyone began to hide very quickly.

Ember followed the crowd and jumped into the trench. He looked at the soldier holding his head next to him and poked his cheek from below.

"Who?!" The soldier raised his head, but after seeing the ember on the other side, he quickly broke into a smile.

"It turns out to be Lord Ember, what do you want me to do?"

Nowadays, Huanyu, large and small, can be regarded as an official. It is not an exaggeration for these grassroots soldiers to call him "sir".

"Okay, okay, just call me Ember. My title is temporary, there's no need to be so formal."

Yi Yan looked at the soldiers who changed their expressions in a second, and felt that Liyue's unique skill of "changing faces" was nothing more than that - weren't there many people here in Daozhu who could do it?
"Let me ask, does it usually look like this when a dragon lizard attacks?"

Ember looked up at the empty camp, then shrank back and asked the soldiers.

"It's usually much better than this."

There was another explosion in the distance, causing the soldiers to cover their ears.

"how do I say this?"

"The attack time of this group of dragon lizards was very punctual before! In the morning, when the sun just shines into the basin below, they attack once, and then they attack again three or four hours apart. It's the same old pattern!"

"Why are there still three or four hours between them? Is it possible that you are still going down to fight back?"

Ember was a little confused when he heard that there were still several hours between the dragon lizards.

"Counterattack? We only have so many rebels on Haiji Island. Going down to deliver rations to such dragon lizards is enough."

The soldier waved his hand. The rebels had to patrol and garrison, so there weren't many left to deal with the dragon lizards.

If these people go head-to-head with the dragon lizard, it will have no effect except to slightly alleviate the problem of poor soil on Haiji Island.

The soldier paused for a moment, then continued: "As for why there is a gap between dragon lizard attacks..."

"That's because they're taking a nap."

"..."

The soldier explained the living habits of the dragon lizards to Ember in a serious manner, which opened the latter's eyes.
