31. The core bloodlines of the six tribes gather together

Along the way, Reed paid close attention to the wyvern escorting him and learned that its name was Bang, who was Dong Li's subordinate and one of his fanatical fans.

Of course, Lid didn't need to bother to find out from others that he was a fan of Dong Li. The tone of his voice when he talked about Dong Li was enough to explain the problem. "When we were fighting against the elves, I had the honor to go to the battlefield with Lord Dong Li. I still remember the scene vividly..."

"Those dark-skinned elves surged in like a tide, fearless and unstoppable. The rain of arrows covered the sky and blocked out the sun. The flying dragons in the sky were hit by arrows and fell one after another." "In times of danger, Lady Dong Li still rushed to the front. She was covered in blood, frost and snow lingered around her, the sky was as gloomy as the polar night, and the forest was frozen."

"In that battle, we killed a total of 70,000 dark-skinned elves, and as many as 20,000 dragons died on the battlefield. But we still won. Dong Li killed the commander of the dark-skinned elves, Berlintel, with his own hands, and then we went east and killed everyone in our way without any rivals."

"This is only part of Lord Dongli's many achievements... Hey! You guy, keep your ears up and don't look around!" Bong kicked Reed on the back with his claws and kicked Reed into the snow.

Reed stood up, wiped his face, stood up and continued walking forward.

He didn't care about Bang's attitude towards him. The attitudes of the six tribes towards humans were similar, which could be seen from the demons, elves and giants he had seen. The eighteen tribes of "three at the top, six at the middle and nine at the bottom" formed a natural contempt chain, and the dragon tribe was at the top of the six tribes. They even looked down on the other six tribes including the elves.

While listening to various things about Dong Li, Reed was also further observing the surrounding terrain.

As Merlin said, it is not easy to hide here. The peaks here are more like stalagmites sticking out of the ground than mountains in the conventional sense. They are bare without any shelter, and there are a lot of flying dragons living on them. The extremely low temperature, knee-deep snow and howling winds make it almost impossible for humans to move quickly here.

The dragons had long been accustomed to the wind and snow, and their golden eyes could see farther through the wind and snow, which made it almost impossible to hide here. Although Lid tried his best to remember the route map back to humans, he could not think of any way to return to Yongtian Kingdom.

The situation was much worse than when he was in Western Qin.

Bong is a chatterbox, which helps Lid a lot. At least he doesn't have to spend a lot of time to find out, and he can get a lot of information about Dongli. Through Bong and other flying dragons' descriptions of Dongli, Lid slowly builds up the image of Dongli in his mind.

First of all, she is very strong, second only to the Dragon King in the entire dragon clan. This means that she is at least at the level of the Demon King Snake Eyes of the East that Lid had seen before. When Lid faced Snake Eyes at that time, the pressure he endured was very great. The gap of several realms made it extremely difficult for Lid to perform various martial arts methods.

Secondly, like Lingwu Lord, she was able to lead the troops in battle and had a high prestige in the army. But the difference was that Lingwu Lord was more like a king, while Dongli was like a general supported by the entire dragon clan. She was good at attacking and looting, but not good at any reconstruction and development. Of course, this was also related to the environment of the dragon clan. There was really nothing good to develop in this barren land.

With these basic judgments, the image of Dong Li slowly emerged in Lid's mind. The question is, how to deal with such an impenetrable character?

How to deal with the Dragon King behind her...

Reed's face began to turn red from the cold, but his mind was still working quickly.

Bong and his little brothers seemed to be used to Lid's behavior: they didn't obey orders, but they wouldn't run away either, and they would never repent no matter how they were beaten or scolded.

There was a faint smell of royal blood on his body. So Bang didn't care much about Lid later. The order it received was to bring Lid back to the Dragon King's cave intact, and it couldn't do anything too much.

During another break, Bong sat not far from Lid, watching Lid and chatting with his younger brothers.

According to the convention, Dongli was played first. After that, one of Bong's brothers seemed to remember something and said:

"But do you think that the demon named Huanhuan can really marry Lord Dongli?"

Bong snorted and said:

"Will Lord Dong Li be interested in it? Besides, the man Lord Dong Li is going to marry in the future will have to be the son of the Demon King. It is just the son of the King of the West. What qualifications does it have to propose to Lord Dong Li?"

My younger brother also sighed:

"Yes, but I don't know what Lord Dongli thinks of it... The king left it near the cave. Does he really intend to marry Lord Dongli to it? I heard that Lord Dongli refused to marry the Demon King's son before..."

Bong sneered:

"Why didn't you mention that the Giants and Elves also sent people? People from the six tribes should all be here this time. Everyone knows the reputation of Lord Dong Li. After all, we are the ones who picked them. But if you ask me, the strongest among the six tribes right now is our Dragon Clan. There is no point in marrying with other races. It is better to select from within us..."

The other brothers nodded seriously, and there was a vague sense of expectation on everyone's face.

Feeling the atmosphere where it was obvious that everyone liked the same person but no one dared to say it, Reed almost laughed out loud.

The King of the West, Bao Bao, did arouse some of his interest. At the beginning, he felt that although the King of the West was the weakest, he might be suspected of keeping a low profile. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. If Bao Bao's son can marry the Dragon Princess, then the King of the West's chances of winning the demon clan's civil strife will be greatly increased.

However, this is definitely not a good thing for Lid. When the dragon clan and the demon clan join forces to attack Yongtian Kingdom, his Yunyang will be the first to bear the brunt.

Thinking of this, Lid felt that he had

A new goal was to at least prevent the guy named Xi Huan from getting too close to Dong Li.

And from Bong's words, Lid also heard an important message: The giants are coming too.

Lide didn't know who was coming, but this was a good thing for him. The relationship between the dragon clan and the giant clan was not close, but he had a relationship with the giant clan. To put it bluntly, Taisis was still in Yunyang, and the giant clan would consider helping Lide first between Lide and the dragon clan.

Reed finally found another chess piece on the chessboard.

He could feel that the situation was gradually becoming less difficult than at the beginning. Of course, he would have to wait until he met Dong Li before deciding on the next path. After a break, Banger led Lid and Alayya on the road again, and Zang Zheng and other members of the Abyss Church followed not far behind.

There was no rest this time. When Reed stopped again, he was already standing in front of a vast cave.

32. There are many people like me

Just like when he was with the giants, Reed also felt a sense of pressure when he approached the area where the core bloodline of the dragon clan lived.

Lid could feel the pressure from Qingyun, Garberd and Mr. Tingchao because they had polished their martial arts to perfection. Lid could feel the pressure from the Lingwu Lord because she had hundreds of years of experience and a natural kingly demeanor.

The reason why Lid could feel the pressure from the vast dragon cave in front of him was purely because of the power crushing brought by the racial advantage. Lid imagined that if there was no national defense formation, the dragon king lying in the dragon cave alone could burn down more than a dozen cities in Yongtian Kingdom with a single breath.

Just like the beasts in the forest would feel numb when hearing the roar of a tiger, the powerful pressure made all the creatures present lower their heads involuntarily. The flying dragon escorting Lid was suppressed by his blood, so the feeling of trembling was even more obvious.

Only Reed still raised his head and looked at the cave that symbolized authority. That was where the dragon king lived.

All intelligent creatures on earth cannot escape the bondage of desire. For the races of this era, luxurious palaces seem to be the comprehensive product of desire. They symbolize royal power, vanity, and the confidence of those who live in them. Many rulers are obsessed with building magnificent palaces. Let alone the elves who live a luxurious life, even the giants who are equally short of material things, Lid has seen large-scale palaces there.

But the Dragon Clan is different.

The Dragon King lives in a natural cave. At most, some basic repairs have been done. However, the surrounding landforms and decorations have not been touched at all. Apart from its huge size, it is not much different from the caves of wild animals. The only thing that can be called "beautiful" is the shiny grass growing around the cave. The grass core looks like a plant or a crystal, and it can emit a soft light even in the wind and snow.

Now it seems that Fulei's palace is probably the only decent building in the entire dragon clan. But compared to humans, it is not even as big as the original Yuxi City Lord's Mansion. You have to know that the original City Lord's Mansion was rebuilt from the mansion of the old nobles of Yuxi City. Looking at the Yongtian Kingdom, it can be regarded as hard work, but it is still considered a luxury for the dragon clan.

This may be one of the reasons why the dragon clan is so powerful.

Lid only looked at it twice more, and Bang beside him lowered his voice and said angrily: "What are you looking at... lower your head."

Lid knew very well that it would not attack him here, so he narrowed his eyes and taunted in a friendly tone: "You don't even dare to look at it, and you still want to marry the princess?"

"You fucking..."

Bong was touched in the heart, but his body was still immersed in the intimidation brought by the dragon royal family, so he could only curse softly. Although Lid ignored his words many times along the way, he had never ridiculed him directly like this.

Lid ignored Bong's reaction and walked into the dragon cave calmly. Lid had confirmed from Fulei that he would not be killed as soon as they met, and the dragons still needed to know something from him, and Lid also needed to meet the Dragon King and Princess Dongli first.

Bong was afraid that Lid would offend the Dragon King, so he hurried forward to hold him down, but as a low breath sounded in the dragon cave, a voice appeared in everyone's mind: "Bring him in."

Bong glared at Lid and took him into the dragon cave, not forgetting to warn him in a low voice not to talk nonsense later.

Lid walked along the dry and cold land. Because of the shelter from the wind and snow, the depths of the cave gradually became warmer. At the innermost part of the cave, Lid saw the huge and intimidating dragon.

With just one glance, Lid could recognize it as the Dragon King, because it had an aura that no other dragon possessed - the kind of aura that, even though it had its claws retracted and was lying on the ground, could still make all its subjects who approached it kneel down.

Standing by the wall near its head was a beautiful woman with an indifferent look. She looked to be about 25 years old, wearing armor made of unknown material, with long light blue hair and a pair of sharp dragon horns on her head. From her collarbone down, there were bright red patterns on many parts of her fair skin, and a circle of pale green scales on her neck.

If the black dragon lying there is the calm king, then the girl next to him is like the sharpest sword of the dragon clan.

The black dragon's golden eyes stared at Lid, and soon, a voice sounded in Lid's mind again: "You have the breath of Ofland... As expected, you killed my son."

With the knowledge he had gained from Frey last time, Lid knew that dragons were very sensitive to the scent of their own kind. So he didn't try to hide it anymore, nodded frankly, and replied:

"Yes, I killed him."

The black dragon was silent for a while, and the second sentence was: "How do you feel?"

Reed recalled and replied:

"Weaker than I expected. There was no national defense formation to suppress his realm, and I had not yet reached the tenth level, but I still killed him. Compared to Ofland, those flying dragons caused me more trouble at the time, and I lost almost all the weapons I looted from the royal treasury."

Bang was sweating as he listened, fearing that the Dragon King would breathe out and affect it as well. But the Dragon King was not angry.

It still looked down at Lid, and said slowly in an ordinary father's tone:

"Yes... His realm is indeed too low. He has not even reached the tenth level. There is no other dragon like him in the entire Dragon King's bloodline.

I was also wrong, Ofland's character

"He was eccentric and unsuitable for martial arts, so I simply let him attack some inferior and weak races... I didn't expect that he would die in a foreign land. Did he say anything before he died?"

Lid smiled and said:

"He said he was the ninth son of the Dragon King. Killing him would be like declaring war on the Dragon Clan. He also asked me to spare his life." The Dragon King's voice sounded again:

"So, he really did reveal his identity, but you didn't let him go."

Lid nodded:

"Yes. Because I never think that humans are inferior to others. Any race in the world must take responsibility for mistakes and be prepared to be killed when going to war. You can't have no bottom line when bullying others. You can kill 300,000 disaster victims in Tianyue Mountain without any reason, and then when you are defeated, you plan to use your status as an excuse to beg for your life. This principle doesn't work with me."

Reed's voice was relaxed, and the Dragon King was not angry. Both sides seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with them.

If you only look at the conversation between these two people who don't show their emotions, most people would think they are just chatting. But everyone present knows very well that Ofland is the ninth son of the Dragon King, and the Dragon King is experiencing the pain of losing his son. Now standing in front of him is the murderer; and Lid is facing a more difficult situation. As a human being, he can't escape here. Any creature in front of him can kill him by just raising a finger.

But both Lid and the Dragon King looked very calm, without much emotion on their faces. The Dragon King looked at Lid for a long time, and then asked a question that Lid had not expected.

It said to Reed:

"Are there many humans like you in the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven?"

Lid thought about the old king, King Xi, and Fang Yuan, then thought about Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Xi He, and replied: "Not much, but there are still some."

Lid laughed, facing the pressure that made the creatures of the vast world crawl on the ground, and said in a relaxed tone: "Besides, after my people take over the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven, there will be more."

33. Old Friend in Prison

The Dragon King's eyes never left Lid.

Reed could also sense a kind of danger from it, a danger beyond strength.

Lid had seen the demons, elves, and giants, and they all had a kind of arrogance. Just like the Dragon King's ninth son, Ofland, most of them looked down on humans and regarded humans as an inferior race. Although the Dragon King also had arrogance, Lid could feel that its attitude towards humans seemed different from that of the other six tribes.

There was pride but also vigilance in its golden vertical pupils.

From the questions it asked Lid, it was clear that although it despised humans, it also believed that there were many people among them who were worth noting. Such opponents were very difficult to deal with, and they would not be careless on the battlefield, but would always go all out.

Lid's eyes briefly glanced at Dongli who was beside the Dragon King. The Dragon King's idea was already very disadvantageous to humans, and what was even more annoying was that Dongli had obviously inherited the Dragon King's personality. She looked at Lid with a look of scrutiny, without a trace of relaxation.

The Dragon King closed his eyes and said to Dong Li beside him:

"Put the human who killed O'Frant in jail. You will be in charge of everything that happens next. Remember, do not let anyone from the Abyss Church have direct contact with him unless it is necessary."

Dong Li nodded and replied: "Don't worry, father."

She walked up to Lid, glanced at Lid and Alayya, and then escorted Lid to the prison without saying a word. The dragon prison was very cold, and many people inside must have been severely tortured. There was a lot of blood on the ground.

Dong Li did not separate Lid and Alaiya, but locked them together. During this process, Lid took the initiative to talk to her twice, but Dong Li did not respond once, so Lid almost did not get any information from her.

After Lid entered the prison, Dong Li did not leave, but leaned against the prison bars and said to Lid:

"My intuition tells me that you are a very dangerous person. Although your realm is not strong, I always feel that you will mess up the dragon clan. I asked Bangge and Zang Zheng, and I just overheard the conversation between you and your father in the dragon cave. I know very well that you have not given up struggling, and you are still looking for opportunities.

Reed looked at her, wondering what Dong Li meant by saying this.

Dong Li paused and said to Lid:

"Although I think the chances of your success are slim. But in fact, two years ago we didn't think we would fail in our invasion of humans. You were able to kill Ofland back then, and now you may be able to kill me, or my father."

Dong Li raised his hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and pressed down slightly.

Lid's brain went blank in an instant, and his body instinctively wanted to struggle, but Dong Li's movements were too fast. When he came to his senses, Lid first felt his hands become numb, and then he realized that it was not just his hands, but Dong Li had pierced his shoulder joints, and the two blood holes were bleeding continuously.

Alayya had just reacted, and her eyes were instantly filled with hostility as she looked at Dong Li. The sword energy in her body was so surging that it actually broke through the barrier from the eighth to the ninth level in an instant, and the sharp sword energy surged towards Dong Li like a tide.

Dong Li's expression remained unchanged. He pointed his index and middle fingers to the right, and Alayya's body instantly flew in the direction Dong Li pointed and hit the wall. Dong Li didn't look at Alayya the whole time, he only stared at Lid.

When Alaiya's body flew out, there was a flash of murderous intent in Reed's eyes. Dong Li saw it clearly, so she still used force when she put down her hand. Blood burst out of Reed's throat again. He lay on his back on the ground, and breathing became a little difficult.

Dong Li said to Lid:

"You are still useful, so I will not kill you. But I will deprive you of your hands and your voice, so that you can neither win by strength nor play tricks with your voice. I hope you will be quiet, so that you can die peacefully. "

After saying that, Dong Li turned and left, her slim figure disappearing into the darkness.

She didn't care about Reed's injuries at all. She knew very well that the two blows she had just made would not take Reed's life.

Alayya struggled to get up from the ground. The red and white sword energy on her body was out of control, and for a moment it seemed that the sword energy was going out of control. She ran to her young master, quickly took out the herbs from her arms, and applied them to Lid's body.

"Master..."

She put her hand on Lid's chest. Lid barely got up and swallowed his saliva. He felt that the mere act of swallowing was enough to make him feel pain all over. But Lid still shook his head. He couldn't speak, so he could only touch Alayya's head with his forehead to indicate that she was fine. Then he pointed at the sword energy behind her and indicated that she should control her own realm first.

Alayya could only sit down where she was and start to control the sword energy in her body.

The sword energy was not only released externally, but also flowed through her meridians. It had to be carefully controlled to lay a better foundation for future promotion. Lid sat next to her with a smile on his face, his face covered in cold sweat but he never cried out in pain.

About two hours later, Alayya wiped the sweat off her face. When she looked up and saw Lid's injuries, her expression was suddenly filled with heartache. At this moment, on the other side of the wall, in the cell next door, a familiar female voice suddenly came:
