"Not only was there no bird song, we didn't even hear the sound of an insect the entire way."
"Hehe, doesn't this just prove that we are going in the right direction?" Belmont smiled, as if he was looking forward to what would happen next.
Moving from the office where the cool breeze was blowing to the forest, even with the protection of armor, Shoko Toyokawa still couldn't calm down.
For the first time, she felt fear for her own existence.
If Belmonte's conjecture came true, what should she do?
And my mother...
When she thought of the gentle figure in her memory, bitterness and sorrow surged into her heart, making her feel a little breathless.
If Ritsu Narose observed a little, she would find that Shoko Toyokawa was in an extremely low state at this time.
However, Ritsu Naruse did not comfort her as he had done before.
Walking at the end of the team, he was looking down and thinking about the scene he was overlooking from high above.
For some reason, he always felt that the island he saw looked familiar.
How to say it, although these islands look similar in appearance, the terrain of the islands themselves cannot be exactly the same.
Have you been here before?
Ling Meng Yi 01 Death Dance Jiu Shi IX Shrimp searched his memory and compared the prerequisites for reaching the island. Ming Se Ritsu quickly found a place that met the requirements in his memory.
Although he had not yet seen the entire island, he was already certain that this was the small island where he had accidentally visited before and met the former Triangle Chuhua.
Because only this island theoretically meets the prerequisite that "three generations of Toyokawa Shoko's family have all appeared here."
One question is answered, but a new one arises.
If this island really hides some secret that he doesn't know about, then why didn't he encounter anything unusual when he came here before?
Did it disappear before this, or did it hide itself away?
……
After exiting the forest, Naruse and his companions saw a crimson-colored torii gate standing on the ground. Behind the gate, a rather simple shrine was built, looking lifeless.
"This is……"
"Torii," Ritsu Narushe whispered, his inner guard heightened once again. "In the culture of this land, they symbolize the entrance and exit of the divine realm, used to distinguish between the divine realm where the gods reside and the secular world where humans live."
"Divine Realm?" Belmont whispered this symbolic word, as if he had bitten a bone while chewing. His expression suddenly became interesting. "Oh, I have a bad association."
"It has nothing to do with the Black Dragon," Naruse Ritsu shook his head, knowing what she was thinking. "The forbidden divine realm wouldn't be as peaceful as it is here."
"makes sense."
Belmont stroked her chin and said nothing more. She took the lead and strode towards the torii gate.
Passing between two faded red pillars, her movements did not stagnate at all as in the story, nor did she disappear out of thin air.
Standing still, Belmont turned and nodded to Ritsu Narose.
After passing through the torii gate with Toyokawa Shoko, Ritsu Narose and his group arrived at the gate of this ancient shrine.
"It shows signs of use, and it's new."
After a brief observation, Ritsu Narose made a judgment.
At the same time, he felt a fleeting gaze cast upon him, and then disappeared.
Nodding imperceptibly to Belmont, Ritsu Narose signaled with his eyes that Toyokawa Shoko should stay where she was, while he himself moved to the side of the shrine.
He pretended to hang around here for a long time, and when the gaze that had just fallen on him appeared again, he suddenly showed his silver gun wings.
Within a second, crimson light shot towards the edge of the forest.
And under this dazzling light, a dark red light was silently approaching the target locked by the dragon's concentrated light.
“Oh, I see…”
Noticing that his pet was getting restless (Part 2), Jue Yinlong couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"So it's you who's hiding here."
"Xialong."
90. Seven 0 scars G Gu IV 镏巴棋 up qun↓ Xialong is here↓
The impact of the dragon energy explosion destroyed the ground, and the dust stirred up outlined a vaguely visible huge figure.
Without rushing to attack with his true form, Belmont suddenly changed direction in mid-air, threw off his cloak, and shot out a ball of pink light.
"Go!"
This ball of light composed of gnawing insects dispersed during its flight, like floating petals flying towards the motionless Xialong in front.
However, in the next moment, Jue Yinlong saw the gnawing insect he had launched was caught by a large elastic tongue and then fell into Xialong's stomach.
"What!?"
Seeing the pet he had raised for a long time become food on the spot, the battle-hardened Jue Yinlong was stunned for a moment and forgot to launch the next wave of attack.
Although a few gnawing insects were lucky enough to avoid the tongue's path and had already laid on the body of the Xialong and began to bite the flesh to absorb energy, this situation was far from what Belmont had imagined at the beginning.
"Xialong is an omnivore, and insects are also on its menu." Although it may seem like hindsight, Mingse Ritsu still chose to give a friendly commentary.
He didn't rush over in a hurry. He was observing the Xialong that had come out of its stealth state.
The most striking feature of the Xialong is probably its chameleon-like appearance and its two eyes that bulge outwards and can rotate at will.
Naruse Ritsu had seen Kasumi dragons several times before, but this one seemed a little different from the others he'd seen before.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "awkward".
Suddenly, Xialong, who had been standing there motionless, moved.
Its skin suddenly changed color, and a burst of purple-black smoke rose from the surface of its skin.
In the smoke, the insects that were gnawing on it and had not yet begun to feast on it fell to the ground one after another. They were dead before they could even twitch their limbs.
"Tsk."
Unable to help but smack his lips, Belmont's hair began to turn from silver to red as he realized that this guy had a natural advantage over the gnawing insects.
Apparently, she was a little flushed.
Ignoring the two OMOs standing behind her, she prepared to attack in the form of an ancient dragon, stomping the ground and rushing straight towards Xialong.
As an ancient dragon, Xialong represents the disaster of "divine disappearance".
Although it sounds ordinary and this ancient dragon without vocal organs looks a bit stupid, the power of Xialong should not be underestimated.
Leaving aside its troublesome invisibility ability, its powerful physical strength is by no means as harmless as it appears, not to mention its deadly poison.
Suddenly realizing the situation had changed, Belmont transformed back into human form midway, flapped his wings behind him and hovered in the air, keeping a safe distance from Xialong.
The rising purple-black poisonous mist not only did not dissipate, but instead gathered together, mixing with the next wave of Xialong's breath to form a highly concentrated liquid poison rain. The acid mixed with the venom also fell to the ground, hissing and corrosive to the plants it came into contact with.
Suddenly, thick purple-black mist filled the forest.
As an ancient dragon, Xialong's poison is different from ordinary poisons. Not only is it diverse and can target most creatures in the world, it is also extremely toxic and extensible.
Even the Jue Silver Dragon, with its strong body that could withstand the transformation of the Gnawing Insects, was unwilling to actively enter the realm created by the Xia Dragon. Although it could break through violently, it would inevitably cause damage to itself in the process.
Not interested in going to this extent for someone, Jue Yinlong stopped and looked back at Tianhuilong who finally made a move.
Unlike the two gun wings at the top, the gun wing at the bottom is not filled with the dragon energy that is ready to be released, but the most ordinary air.
Taking advantage of Belmont's distraction, Naruse Ritsu was ready to destroy Kasumiyuu's main arena. Without hesitation, he fired two air cannons, temporarily dispelling the poisonous fog that blocked their path.
However, in the rushing poisonous fog, the Xialong that was originally here disappeared.
Mottled sunlight shone into the forest through the gaps between the leaves, making the environment, which was already dim due to the poisonous fog, even more blurry.
They did not prepare the dye balls commonly used by hunters in advance, and the dense forest also prevented Mingse Ritsu from observing the ground from a high altitude. For now, they could only let Xialong escape invisibly.
"It escaped." Looking at the area still shrouded in poisonous fog, Ritsu Narose said calmly.
"No need for you to tell me!"
After retorting, Belmont waited until the poisonous fog in front finally became thinner. He approached the edge of the poisonous fog, picked up the dead rodents on the ground, and examined them carefully in the palm of his hand.
Standing next to another patch of grass, Ritsu Narose picked up a branch and dipped it in the pool of venom on the ground.
"strangeness……"
Just by taking a look, he felt something was wrong.
Although the venom sprayed by Xialong can be condensed into the form of venom balls, its purpose is only to allow the venom to contact the target as much as possible.
The stickiness of Xialong's venom was not very strong, but the pool of purple-black liquid he saw now was extremely sticky, and the flocs in it could be seen under the sunlight.
And it has its own brushed effect.
Strange Xialong, why does it appear on this small island?
If you think about it carefully, although this area is originally suitable for the life of Xialong, there are too many places suitable for Xialong to move around, and this small place with few wild animals is not a big deal at all.
Focusing on the "evidence" in front of him, Ritsu Narose did not notice the abnormality shown by Shoko Toyokawa behind him.
Standing behind Ritsu Narose, Shoko Toyokawa's body was trembling slightly.
She had nothing to do with the encounter from beginning to end, and she had never been exposed to the venom.
But when she stood here, Toyokawa Shoko felt that her body - or more precisely, the equipment on her body that was derived from the power of the Black Erosion Dragon - was having an inexplicable connection with the surrounding venom.
Unconsciously taking a step closer, she found her fingertips trembling. When she saw the venom, an impulse of disgust and desire coexisted in her mind.
"Hey--"
Just when her mind was about to turn into a sea of chaos, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly heard a murderous voice coming from behind her.
Even though the murderous aura was not directed at her, her body still trembled.
The fear that used to make people confused now made her sober. Standing behind Ritsu Narose, Shoko Toyokawa heard Belmont's footsteps approaching, and at the same time, a scrutinizing gaze fell on her.
Walking to Ritsu Narose's side, Belmont retracted his gaze and turned to Ritsu Narose, opening his palm holding the gnat.
On the surface of the gnawing insect, familiar purple-black lines came into view.
91. Give him the medicine!
There is no need to explain the power of the mad dragon virus now. Creatures infected with the virus often become extremely ferocious.
However, judging from Xialong's actions just now, it seems that it is not affected by the Crazy Dragon Virus.
It still maintained a great degree of rationality, and chose to leave on its own initiative when faced with the two ancient dragons, without any tendency to be stubborn.
Can the Mad Dragon Virus be effective against ancient dragons?
Based on Ritsu Narose's personal experience, he felt that the Crazy Dragon Virus might be effective, but it was hard to say to what extent its effect would be.
Especially Xialong is an ancient dragon that specializes in using poison.
Although the mad dragon virus is different from the "poison" in the general perception, for such a natural-born bad actor, it is not a fantasy to use it in reverse.
"You mean, the Xialong mixed the Crazy Dragon virus with its own toxins?" Belmont crushed the gnawing insects with special stripes on their bodies and scattered them on the ground.
Watching the insect's corpse fragments scattering on the ground, Naruse Ritsu said calmly, "It's just a guess. The only evidence to prove this statement is those pools of venom."
"Its appearance here is definitely not a coincidence. If we want to investigate it, it's best to go to the human settlement and inquire about the situation."
"An ancient dragon is active on this island. Humans shouldn't be completely unaware of it."
Ancient dragons are often referred to as walking disasters. Although the Xialong, which moves in its original form, can become invisible, it cannot erase the traces of its existence.
Whether it's the sudden rise of purple fog like now, or the invisible wall that the mountain people accidentally encounter - as long as the Xialong is still active, there will always be clues left.
As long as the humans here are not idiots, they will at least be aware of the unusual things happening on the island.
After leaving the forest and arriving at the town where humans live, Ritsu Naruse and the others pretended to be tourists and began to ask the islanders for information.
"The weather was clear, but a strangely colored fog suddenly rose without any warning";
“I often lose the food I carry with me on the way up the mountain, and sometimes I even accidentally lose my keychain”;
"I always feel like there's something dirty on the mountain staring at me. Every time I go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, I feel terrified."
