Chapter 116 Shou Lao: One is me, the other is me when I was a child

Following the monk who led them, Lorraine and the others came to a cave.

"This is the cave of our legendary origin."

The monk clasped his hands together and introduced piously, "Legend has it that our ancestors came out of here and founded Kunlun."

"The road ahead is always difficult, and I pay my respects to them."

Lorraine said this, but she felt a little funny in her heart.

In order to conceal the fact that he is an alien and to establish his own sanctity, Kunlun was able to make up such a set of stories.

Of course, it is also possible that this cave is connected to a wormhole, and the first batch of Kunlun people did come out of it.

The monk continued to introduce: "Kunlun's divine beast, the immortal dragon Shou Lao, now lives in this cave, and your trial will also start here."

Lorraine looked at the size of the cave and asked curiously: "Is this cave entrance a bit small? How will Shou Lao get out? Demolish the mountain?"

"I don't know that."

The monk shook his head and said, "Shou Lao has been in this cave for countless years and has never left."

Lorraine asked no more questions: "Okay, thank you for the master's explanation."

The three of them walked into the cave. The cave was so narrow that only two of them could walk side by side. The deeper they went in, the more they could feel the hot breath hitting their faces.

When you go deeper, the cave suddenly becomes clear. The mountain is almost hollow, with a huge internal space.

They were now standing on a stone platform, and blazing fire came from below.

Even if Eagle Eye can't see now, he can clearly feel that there is a huge creature not far away, breathing heavily.

Lorraine's perception was more direct. Under the stone platform, a red dragon was entrenched here, with its eyes closed tightly. The breathing heard by the eagle eye was the snoring of this dragon.

The shape of this giant dragon is a combination of east and west, with a slender body like an Eastern dragon, a pair of huge wings on its back, rough skin, and each scale is like a stone.

Its muscles are as strong as molten iron, and endless heat spurts out between its breaths.

There are records in the East that a dragon with wings is called a Yinglong, but this giant dragon is obviously not.

Yinglong is cyan, moves clouds and rains, and this giant dragon is obviously a fire dragon.

"This is the Immortal Dragon."

The monk saluted again, "From now on, the trial has begun. Shou Lao's battle has caused great damage, so I can't stay for a long time. If you don't want to continue watching the battle, you can leave the cave at any time."

"No need, I just stay here."

"Okay, I hope you can leave this cave with Shou Lao's heart."

The monk left, leaving only Hawkeye and Lorraine on the stone platform.

At this time, Hawkeye was already trembling in his heart. His fear did not come out of thin air.

Now he is blind, and there is endless darkness in front of him. He knows that there is a powerful creature in front of him, but he doesn't know what it looks like or what its strength is.

The real fear is the endless unknown.

"Don't worry, I'll be up there watching you."

Lorraine said to Hawkeye, "Are you ready?"

Hawkeye kept cheering himself up in his mind.

You can do it Clint, this is the plan no one else could ask for!

Lorraine must be doing it for his own good, he has to work hard!
The voice in Hawkeye's heart was unknown to Lorraine. If he could hear it, he would feel satisfied.

He doesn't want to waste the people who can help him.

"Get ready, let's get started!"

Lorraine pushed Hawkeye off the stone platform.

"what--"

Hawkeye's body continued to fall, and when he was about to fall to the ground, a force of wind that appeared out of thin air enveloped him and made him land firmly.

And this scream also woke up Shou Lao from his deep sleep.

"Roar--"

A dragon roar that shook the world shook the entire mountain. Shou Lao raised his dragon head, endless flames burned around him, and the entire cave turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher, and the situation is becoming more and more urgent.

Shou Lao has discovered Eagle Eye.

But when things got here, Clint calmed down.

Before, his mind was confused by the reputation of the legendary dragon, but when he actually faced the dragon, the warrior's consciousness took over his heart again.

Nothing more than death.

If he cannot gain the power to protect his family, he will be worse than death.

Hawkeye took the package from behind, revealing a mechanical bow and quiver.

Holding the bow in his hand, he felt a little calmer.

He couldn't see where Shou Lao was, so he could only listen.

But before Hawkeye could locate Shou Lao's weakness, the immortal dragon sprayed out a fierce dragon flame.

The searing heat can even melt rocks.

But Hawkeye heard it. He heard the sound of flames spraying out. With years of combat experience and reaction speed, he rolled his body to the side and immediately pulled out a long distance.

Since he couldn't see the scope of the flames with his own eyes, Clint could only play it safe and hide as far away as possible.

But this also caused him to accidentally roll to a safe range.

Shou Lao's first attack failed.

On the stone platform, Lorraine was also a little surprised to see Hawkeye's performance.

Clint, a blind man, was able to escape this attack purely by relying on his own strength?
Even the protective measures Lorraine prepared for him were not used.

something.

"Then I have to start my mission, Clint, come on!"

Lorraine closed his eyes, and his soul floated out of his body, flying straight to the immortal dragon in the distance.

Shou Lao was furious at this time, and he began to move his body to get closer to Clint.

It knows what this person is here to do, to kill itself!
Like those before it, kill itself, dig out its immortal heart, place it in the sacrificial basin, and light the immortal fire.

Then when it is revived again, it will lose part of its power.

When some strength is finally restored, this ritual will begin again.

Kunlun will never allow Shou Lao to have the strength to escape from this cave!
In this overwhelming battle, Hawkeye has gone to the extreme.

He dodged with reflexes many times, and shot Shou Lao with an arrow while dodging.

As time went by, Shou Lao's dragon flame became stronger and stronger, and Hawkeye's physical strength soon reached its limit.

After all, he is just an ordinary person.

In the end, the dragon flame hit him.

Hawkeye wanted to scream, but when the dragon flames burned his body, he realized that it was as painful as he imagined.

An energy film appeared on the surface of his body, blocking him from most injuries.

This is how Lorraine protects Hawkeye.

Clint quickly noticed something strange about his body, and a comfortable coolness covered his body.

He instantly understood that this was Lorraine protecting him and giving him help in slaying the dragon.

"In this case, I can fight with confidence!"

Hawkeye no longer avoided Shou Lao's attack, he bent his bow and arrow, looking for the place where Shou Lao's heart beat.

He's not Daredevil after all, so positioning takes some time.

But he found it anyway.

Then, an arrow shot out!
"Ow—"

Shou Lao screamed, and its chest was pierced by an arrow.

If you look carefully, you will see that the stone skin on Shou Lao's chest has long been scarred and can hardly provide any protection. The Kunlun people have killed it for countless years and taken out its heart, leaving it with wounds that can no longer be healed.

Eagle Eye didn't see this. He just relied on his calmness, bravery and combat experience to find Shou Lao's weakest point.

Shou Lao screamed, his voice heartbreaking.

At this time, Lorraine's soul also came in front of it.

"The name is the Immortal Dragon, but it's actually just experiencing immortal pain."

Lorraine was a little sad, this kind of thing was not uncommon.

In the past, some unscrupulous hunters would raise bear cubs in iron cages. When the cub grew up, they would continue to extract its bile, a little at a time, to ensure that the bear would not die and could be taken again next time.

When those unscrupulous hunters were captured, the bears kept in iron cages had been tortured to the point of being skin and bones. They looked nothing like bears, not even as good as a black dog.

Although Shou Lao is known as the Immortal Dragon, what is the difference between his situation in recent years and that of these captive bears?
Fortunately, its savior is here today!
Lorraine's soul suddenly rushed into Shou Lao's body.

……

When he opened his eyes, Lorraine stood on a piece of green grass.

Birds and flowers were singing all around, and an unknown butterfly flapped its wings and flew past him.

In the distance are the snow-capped mountains, and in front of you is a small lake with clear water and white clouds swimming over it.

"Is this the innermost world of Shou Lao?"

Lorraine was a little sad. He didn't know how many years Shou Lao had been imprisoned, but judging from his dilapidated body, it was at least tens of thousands of years.

The last time Shou Lao saw this scene of blue sky and green water was at least ten thousand years ago.

There was a rustling sound in her ears. Lorraine turned her head and saw a small red dragon, less than one meter long, crawling on the ground. It came to the lake, stretched out its pink tongue, and licked the water happily.

"This is what I looked like when I was just born."

An old voice sounded behind Lorraine.

Lorraine turned her head and saw an old man with a stooped figure and a sullen face, trembling on crutches.

He looked like he was about to die.

Only when he looked at the little dragon, a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

Lorraine tried: "Shou Lao?"

"it's me."

The immortal dragon Shou Lao could not see any of the majesty that a divine beast should have at this time.

He is not even as good as an old mortal man.

"I don't care what you tried to do to get here, but now that you have seen my situation, I can't help you at all."

Shou Lao closed his eyes and showed a hint of relief, "I'm just waiting to die."

"I know."

Lorraine said softly, "That's why I'm here to relieve you."

"Relief? Haha, you want my power!" Shou Lao said with a mocking expression, "Take it if you want it, I can't stop you. Isn't that why you Kunlun people have imprisoned me for millions of years? ?”

Millions of years?

Lorraine was a little stunned. Kunlun was even more inappropriate than she thought.

At that time, humans were still in the Paleolithic Age!
It has to be said that sometimes some numbers in the Marvel world are extremely exaggerated and cannot be considered in detail.

Kunlun has been on the earth for millions of years, but in the end it has not had any impact on the world. It just sealed itself in the Kunlun Mountains and acted as a hidden sect.

They have not made any progress across the ages in secret martial arts and have been stagnant.

This is a million years!
It's really a bit of a waste.

Don't ask, just ask about settings and racial characteristics.

Shou Lao was drained of his power for millions of years by Kunlun, but he is still alive and well, but he looks like he is about to be drained.

This shows how powerful their race is.

Thinking of this, Lorraine shook his head and said: "No, the relief I am talking about is to kill you completely."

"Kill me completely?"

Shou Lao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

But when the laughter got a little louder, his body couldn't bear it and he coughed violently.

When he finally finished coughing, Shou Lao shook his head and said: "I really don't know whether to thank you for your enthusiasm or laugh at your ignorance. If I could really be completely killed, I would have killed myself long ago. Do I still need to wait until now? "

Lorraine was not annoyed at this taunt.

He said calmly: "That's because you haven't met me."

"Good good."

Shou Lao didn't believe this at all.

Lorraine knew it, and it seemed that she couldn't do it without coming up with something real.

He stretched out his hand, and an egg the size of a basketball appeared in his hand.

"What are you doing...huh?"

Shou Lao dismissed it at first, but when he took a closer look at the egg, his eyes became more and more unbelievable.

"This, this, this is impossible!"

Shou Lao immediately got rid of his previous half-dead appearance and appeared in front of Lorraine in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the egg, but Lorraine retracted his hand and refused to allow him to touch it.

"You, show me!"

Shou Lao was furious, his tone was extremely urgent, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

Rare treasure?
Oh, even if it is really a treasure, it is just like scrap metal in front of Shou Lao who wants to die.

The egg held in Lorraine's hand is something that can really change his destiny.

"Where did you get this egg from? It's impossible, it's impossible!"

Shou Lao murmured to himself, "I feel the immortal dragon power from the same origin as me on this egg. This is a member of my race. No, that's not right! Even members of the same race will not have such a similar power. This is my child?!"

In millions of years of desperate life, Shou Lao's will has been ground to ashes, but when he saw this egg, his heart began to beat fast, and a long-lost feeling appeared in his heart.

That's called hope.

But soon he discovered something was wrong again.

His own race is too special. In the past million years, he has never heard of a second immortal dragon, and it is impossible for him to have children.

Because although Shou Lao is old, he is still...commonly known as Chu Long.

"Where on earth did you get this egg!?"

Shou Lao sounded anxious, eager to find out the truth.

Do you still have clansmen?Are these your brothers and sisters?

Or maybe he once met a beautiful female dragon, but it took so long that he forgot about it? !

Lorraine said lightly: "Now do you believe that I have the ability to help you get rid of it?"

"No, no no!"

Shou Lao quickly shook his head, "I don't want to be free now. Seeing this egg gives me hope again. If I can watch it break the shell and grow up, I will be willing to endure another million years of pain!"

"Yes, but it's a pity."

Lorraine sighed, "This egg is not of your kind. On the contrary, it is you."

"what?"

Shou Lao was confused, "You said the egg in your hand was from my childhood?"

Even though this immortal dragon has lived for millions of years, he has never heard of such a ridiculous thing.

Are you treating the dragon like a fool?

"Magic, it's amazing!"

Lorraine smiled and said, "This egg was created by me and will be used to replace your existence in the future."

"Created by you?" Shou Lao murmured to himself, "Is your wife a dragon?"

"cough!"

Lorraine almost choked on the spit, Shou Lao's words were so creative.

This egg was created from the Reality Stone and is currently just a fake dragon egg.

But it will soon turn into a real dragon egg.

Lorraine explained to Shou Lao: "The reason why you have never been able to die completely is because the immortal dragon power needs a carrier, so you will continue to be resurrected.

"If you don't make any changes, you will continue to be resurrected.

“But what if I told you that there is another carrier now?

"If this egg happens to hatch at the moment of your death and it carries all the power of the immortal dragon, will you still be resurrected?"

Shou Lao gradually understood what Luo Lin meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although it was good to be freed, the hope caused by the misunderstanding just now made him have other ideas.

It's great to have a dragon to inherit, but it would be even better if that dragon was still one's own descendant.

Lorraine obviously saw Shou Lao's thoughts, and he immediately put forward another major condition.

"This egg now only has a false appearance and is not a real dragon egg, but if you integrate your own blood into it and leave a legacy memory..."

He paused, and under the hopeful gaze of Shou Lao, he continued, "It will become your real descendant and inherit everything from you! No, even saying that it is a descendant is a bit inappropriate. It is basically you, a reincarnation. Of you!"

"real!!!"

Shou Lao's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

No regrets, really no regrets!
My original dream was just to be freed, but now the young man in front of me not only easily fulfilled my wish, but also gave him a bigger gift.

He can truly be reincarnated, instead of being resurrected in this broken cave over and over again!
"Okay! Shall we start now? What do you want me to do! I will never refuse!"

Shou Lao was so excited that he could not speak coherently, and he was laughing wildly in his heart.

Finally, I can finally escape from this ghost place, hahahaha!
"Don't be impatient. If you really want to start, I'll have to go out first, right? This is your inner world, not reality!"

"Good good!"

Shou Lao nodded repeatedly, "Then let's get out quickly!"

He doesn't want to do anything now, he just wants to quickly transform the egg in Lorraine's hand into a real immortal dragon egg.

But Lorraine poured cold water on him: "Don't worry, you won't be able to speak at all after you go out, but I still have a few questions to ask you."

Shou Lao could only suppress the excitement in his heart and said helplessly: "This... well, if you want to ask anything, ask it quickly!"

Lorraine nodded and asked his question.

"You know, there is a guardian beast in every city in the seven capitals of heaven. Are they in the same situation as you now? Can you give a detailed introduction?"

Shou Lao thought for a while and said: "Then you really asked the right person. He is not a creature like me that has lived for millions of years. I really can't explain all the details to you."

Afterwards, Shou Lao explained in detail the situation of the remaining six capitals in heaven.

The so-called seven capitals in heaven are Kunlun, the city of dragons, and the guardian beast is the immortal dragon Shou Lao, who is now preparing to commit suicide.

Then there is the Crane City Kunz, a black magic support, and its guardian beast is revered as the Crane Mother.

Crane Mother's life was not as miserable as Shoulao's. Even when Crane City lost its lord, she was able to temporarily manage it on behalf of the lord. This is the true guardian beast.

Then there is the turtle city Penglai, located on the eastern island country. The guardian beast is the seven-headed demon snake. It used to be eight. One of its heads was chopped off in a battle many years ago.

It was originally imprisoned like Shou Lao to extract its power, but unlike Shou Lao, its power was too evil and backfired on those warriors, causing the Seven-headed Demonic Snake to live a much more comfortable life now.

The two mythical beasts Lorraine knew there was no hope as soon as they heard this.

But for the remaining four cities, their patron beast Lorraine can still give it a try.

These cities not only imprisoned their own mythical beasts and absorbed their power, but also gave their warriors the same names as the mythical beasts.

A bit ironic.

The tiger beauty in the Tiger City, the Nine Spider Lady in the Spider City, the eldest dog brother in the Dog City, and the monkey prince in the Monkey City.

It is entirely possible for these four divine beasts to accept the same conditions as Shou Lao!

Lorraine nodded, already knowing what he should do next, he asked the last question.

"Where did powerful life forms like you come from?"

Shou Lao shook his head simply and said: "I don't know, I don't have any memory of my origin. I have been living on this land since I became conscious. Later, I also conducted investigations and speculations, and came up with some ideas, but I can’t guarantee its accuracy.”

Lorraine asked curiously: "What is your guess?"

Shou Lao thought for a while and explained: "I may have been born because of the will of the earth."

The will of the earth?

This mysterious word not only did not disappoint Lorraine, but made him confirm his thoughts.

His guess was not wrong!
The earth has no personality, but it is not without rules.

Occasionally, some extremely powerful life forms are born, which represent the will of this planet in some aspect.

Marvel once launched a hero called Monster Kid who could summon monsters through his paintings.

It’s not creation, it’s calling.

At first, he summoned all the space monsters, but later, when the space monsters came to the earth in hordes and invaded, the earth couldn't stand it anymore.

It can allow life on earth to mess around, but it does not allow life in the universe to invade.

Earth Cue Monster Boy draws some monsters on Earth to resist the invasion of space monsters.

The earth monsters fight against the space monsters, much like the finale of "Ultraman Gaia".

The Monster Boy comic sold poorly and was later canceled by Marvel, but it revealed an important setting: there are some extremely powerful life forms on the earth.

Lorraine plans to recruit such a life form as much as possible to form an army of monsters.

Lorraine is also an earthly being, so there is no need to worry about the earth's will causing trouble for him.

The immortal dragon Shou Lao is the first in this army of monsters!
