She looked like a first-year student who had just entered Nefera Beta.

 That is, provided her spiritual force field doesn't look so fierce.

 "Oro...Miss Prophet changed your clothes?" Xing Mo felt a little funny.

 "I don't want to play with her at all!" Little Ham said angrily, "But she...threatened me!"

 Threatening... is putting it mildly...

 Xing Mo smiled helplessly and nodded approvingly:

 "Isn't this one pretty nice?"

 "...I don't understand your human aesthetic... What's that on your leg? It's strangled..."

 Little Ham frowned, pulled up the white stockings loop and let go, making a "snap" sound.

 Looking at her youthful appearance, Xing Mo suddenly thought of something.

 "By the way, before you go, I have some questions for you," she said.

 "I'll tell you everything I know." Little Ham put on a much more serious expression.

 "Regarding your ability to transform into a human form..." Xing Mo considered her words carefully. "How does this work? I've never seen a dragon transform into a human before."

 In fact, Xingmo has seen humans with strong dragon characteristics: for example, Senior Vivian, and Yuechen who hung the String of Truth above the Academy.

 The common points are: vertical pupils and the power to control dragon words.

 "If you ask me about this, I'm not very clear about it."

 Little Ham seemed to be in a dilemma. She lowered her head and pretended to think.

 "Hmm... Let me think... The priests in my tribe seemed to have called me the Dragon Who Shed His Scales. When asked what that meant, I replied with some mysterious words. It seems to be related to the Ancestral Dragon..."

 The Ancestral Dragon generally refers to the Dark Moon Dragon Orbusgula, the dragon that fought against the Gods in the Age of Gods.

 "There's a prophecy... something like that... a dragon shedding its scales will cross the gate of bones and transform into a new crescent moon, illuminating the eternal night..."

 "Yeah, that's about it. I asked him what he meant, and he just said the time hadn't come yet and I'd have to wait... I'm so annoyed! He's just trying to fool me!"

 A door of bones... a new crescent moon... this sounds truly bizarre...

 Xing Mo frowned and asked:

 "Then, are there any other dragons in the fire dragon group that have shed their scales like you?" Xing Mo asked.

 "No, it is said that each tribe can only have one shed-scale dragon at any given time, and I have always been the one in the fire dragon tribe."

 Little Ham held his head high, seeming very proud.

 Hmm...regarding dragons...it seems to involve some deeper aspects...

 "By the way, do you know Ice Dragon?" Xing Mo wanted to see if he could find out something about Senior Vivian.

 "Ice dragons? The Fallu Mountains are not their territory."

 Little Ham stuck out her forked tongue in disdain. It seemed she had a strong dislike for aliens.

 "Oh, speaking of ice dragons, a dragon servant brought a scale-shedding dragon and caused a riot in my valley! I even fought with that guy! I almost ripped her neck off!"

 "What happened next?" Xing Mo noticed something.

 "And then? Then a human rescued her! They even teamed up with these despicable humans to barely defeat me to a draw... Haha... If I see her again, I'll definitely rip her throat out!"

 Little Ham looked ferocious, his golden pupils emitting a terrifying light.

 Xing Mo was silent: Obviously, the "human" she was referring to was Senior Alice, and the "scale-shedding dragon" was Vivian.

 I've known for a long time that Senior Vivian was picked up from the mountains of Falu by Senior Alice, but I never thought it was really picked up.

 "Do you know why the ice dragon came to the Falu Mountains?" Xingmo asked.

 "Understand? What else do you need to know? It means they have no place in Yanxia anymore, so they're fleeing," Little Ham showed a slightly evil smile, "Yanxia is the Black Dragon's territory... The Dragon Lord won't let aliens run rampant in his territory... At least not forever..."

 Black Dragon...Dragon Lord...!?

 As soon as these two keywords came out, Xingmo recalled that day.

 Not long after the Golden King arrived at the Citadel as the Imperial Ambassador Scarab, he had a secret meeting with Black Wood, the owner of the underground arena, in the port area.

 During that secret meeting, the Golden King told Heimuto about their upcoming plan in the Academy City and discussed some matters with him.

 During the meeting, Heimu revealed his tattoos...

 ...The tattoo is a black dragon!

 At that time, just by seeing the tattoo, Alia felt a strong spiritual pressure and was almost exposed.

 That black dragon...is actually the Dragon Lord?

 Xing Mo had heard some legends about the Dragon Lord, a god on the land of Yanxia. There was very little information about him, and almost no one knew about his symbol or authority.

 Legend has it that the god lurks in the shadows of the entire Yanxia, ​​looking up at the human kingdom, and will devour the entire Yanxia Archipelago when the stars return to their positions.

 So... the symbol of the Dragon Lord is the black dragon...

 "I understand," Xingmo nodded to Xiao Ham, "Then go quickly. If you don't go, some people won't dare to get off the bus."

 "Are you talking about that curly-haired guy?" Little Ham didn't even turn his head. "Oh, that guy has been hiding under the car window for a long time... If he hadn't covered his ears with his hands, I would have blown him up for eavesdropping."

 After saying that, Little Ham turned around and saluted Xing Mo.

 Then she jumped to the edge of the platform, took a leap, and shot into the sky like an arrow with a sonic boom.

 "Boom--" Raging flames burned in the air, and the giant dragon soared into the sky, flying towards the mountains surrounded by a group of dragons.

 Transforming into a giant dragon...it's really spectacular...Xing Mo stretched out his hand to resist the surging wind, sighing in his heart.

 I wonder if Senior Vivian can also transform into a dragon? Logically speaking, she should be able to...

 "Ah, Miss Schcotti, have you finally gotten rid of that annoying dragon?"

 With a frivolous and... self-proclaimed elegant voice, Dominic came to Xingmo's side and reached out to touch the small strand of curly hair on her head.

 "I have to say, being able to tame a giant dragon is truly a skill of yours..."

 This guy is trying to get close to her again, even though he was so scared just now that he didn't dare to show his head... Xingmo turned around and smiled at Dominic:

 "What's going on, Mr. Dominic?"

 "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us, and perhaps we need to reconcile..." Dominic straightened his collar. "Look, as the leader of the new party, the purpose of my actions is actually the same as Miss Chloe's, but for..."

 Dominic's five-minute dialogue is omitted here... No, at least six minutes.

 Although Xingmo maintained a polite and calm expression throughout, she had actually been silently clenching her fists in her heart.

 I have never seen anyone make clichés sound so complicated.

 If this passage appeared in a serialized novel in a newspaper, readers would probably immediately complain: This is just watering down the writing!

 "...So, I hope we can move forward together and create a better future. After all, I have a pretty good relationship with the Giant King's Court. If you want to enter smoothly, I have to make the first move, right?"

 Finally, Dominic finished his speech.

 He looked at Xingmo with a faint smile, obviously very proud of his performance.

 How could this happen... I've clearly hinted many times to "stay away from it", but why does this person just keep clinging to me?

 Is this the social skill of a wealthy businessman's son? No... should it be the shameless power of a socialite?

 He was clearly saying bad things to me before, but he changed his attitude the next moment.

 To put it bluntly, these people will speak a little better when they are driven by interests.

 If their interests are disrupted, these people will turn against you faster than anything else.

 "Xing Mo looked at Dominic quietly, thought for a while, and then said:

 "Okay."

 Xingmo decided that since Dominic insisted on sticking to her, then let him stick to her.

 Anyway, she hadn't told Dominic about her plan, so let's see how he reacts later.

 Just think of it as some fun.

 "Excellent," Dominic said, apparently believing that his speech had convinced Xingmo. "Then leave the matter of entering the Giant King's Court to me. With my connections with the giants, I think everything can be easily handled."

 "Great." Xingmo nodded with a smile.

 Ten minutes later, as the lighthouse near the platform was lit, a team of about a hundred people left the station and walked into the depths of the fog.

 Xingmo, Aurora, and Chloe walked at the front of the team, forming the front formation with two Pegasus Knights and six Kite Wing Guerrillas.

 Dominic followed closely with his guards, although he was a little behind... he could still be considered brave.

 The valley in the mist might be the strangest place Xing Mo has ever seen in her life. It is like a magnified world. The road among the grass is more than twice the size of Massena Street. Both sides are blocked by chest-high grass, and the visibility is extremely poor.

 Obviously, this is the path trodden by the giants.

 From time to time, the cries of strange beasts could be heard from the distant fog. Xing Mo didn't know what kind of animals they were, but she felt that even their cries contained a faint spiritual pressure, like predators releasing pheromones.

 The animals hiding in the fog did not approach the group on their own initiative. Xing Mo could sense their powerful spirits and confirmed that most of them deliberately kept a certain distance from the crowd.

 And the answer lies in Chloe's hands.

 "The August family has the custom of going into the mountains to worship, so there is a complete set of procedures for entering the valley."

 Chloe, who was walking in front of the queue, was holding an incense burner. A faint golden scent flowed out of the incense burner and mixed with the surrounding mist.

 "This is a method of dispelling strange beasts. My father demonstrated it to me in the back garden when I was a child. I memorized it all."

 "Thanks to you," Aurora put her hands behind her head, "we feel relieved."

 Well... Miss Chloe is indeed much more reliable than Dominic... Xingmo commented in her heart.

 Although expelling strange beasts was a simple matter for Xingmo and Aurora, Chloe didn't know much about the affairs of the Giant King's Court. She was originally an outsider, but for the sake of the alliance with the Academy, she followed without hesitation.

 Sometimes, Xingmo is more accustomed to watching what people do rather than listening to what they say.

 ""

 About half an hour later, a huge archway appeared faintly in the fog ahead.

 Behind the arch, there seemed to be a flame burning.

 "That's the entrance to the outer side of the royal court..." Chloe opened her mouth slightly, "But why..."

 "That's part of the plan."

 星沫

 He patted Chloe's shoulder gently and waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow.

 Passing through the archway, what appeared before everyone was a huge circular square surrounded by mountains.

 The ground of the square is made of huge granite blocks, with moss embedded in the gaps and a slippery surface.

 Tall stone pillars, unevenly distributed, can be vaguely seen in all directions. The patterns on the surface of the pillars are chaotic, and when they intersect with each other, they form totems like eye pupils.

 "Boom--" The sound of burning flames came from not far away. A group of people looked towards the source of the sound and saw a huge shadow burning with flames flashing in the thick fog in the center of the square.

 That outline belonged to a giant four-winged dragon.

 It's Bahamut.

 She spread her wings, and flames flowed between the gaps between her wings, outlining her majestic body.

 And below the giant shadow, there were vaguely several tall figures crouching, with faint flames burning on their bodies, and they had obviously lost their combat effectiveness.

 "The blasphemer is inside your royal court! I give you three days! Find him yourself!"

 "Otherwise! No matter what that old immortal Merlin promised, I will burn down your royal court and reduce you stupid cave dwellers to charcoal!"

 After saying this, Bahamut flapped his huge wings, rolled up the mist, and flew towards the distant mountains.

 After she left, the flames in the square still did not go out.

Chapter 289: Forest of Rocks (Part 3) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

 The fire dragon's attack stunned Chloe and the two Pegasus Knights.

 What happened? Didn't you just reconcile with us?

 Why did you turn around and beat the giant?

 You can't beat the Saint, so you come to beat the giant to vent your anger?
