What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

"but..."

Zhong Ling told Ying about the little girl in blue she met.

"This is so weird." Ying rubbed her arms.

Previously, when she was at least several hundred miles away from Zhong Ling, she could still be detected by Zhong Ling.

But now, Zhong Ling said that there was a little girl who could approach her silently. Isn't this terrifying?

If even Zhong Ling couldn't sense her presence, then this little girl must be from a prominent family.

"How about this, the commission from the Adventurer's Association ends here, let's go back and submit it." Ying didn't really want to continue with this commission.

After all, this is too dangerous.

"Hmm..." Zhong Ling looked at Ying and thought for a moment. "It is indeed very dangerous here. You should leave as soon as possible. And you should also let the people know that you cannot come to Tianqiu Valley and Nantianmen casually. It is very dangerous."

With the ability of an ordinary person, even if they encounter a young rock dragon lizard, as long as the young rock dragon lizard shows its strength, the person who encounters it will definitely die.

Therefore, before the matter is over, no one should risk their life out of curiosity.

"You guys?" Ying sensed a hint in Zhong Ling's words. "Linglong, aren't you going back?"

"I'm going to do some personal work. Ying, go back and hand in the commission first."

"You're not taking me?" Ying asked, turning her head. "You really aren't taking me~?"

"No." After Zhong Ling finished speaking, Ying rolled her eyes at her. "It's not a big deal anyway."

"Oh... okay." Ying sighed deeply.

C.37 Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard

"Isn't the traveler curious about what Linglong is going to do?" Paimon floated beside Ying, she was full of curiosity.

"Of course I'm curious." Ying spread her hands. "But Linglong must have her reasons for not taking us."

"Hmm..." Paimon also understood this logic, but she was really curious.

"Don't try to trick me into taking you there secretly." Ying said without hesitation before Paimeng could speak.

After living for so long and traveling through so many worlds, Ying is very clear about one thing.

'Don't commit suicide'

Life, if you don't die once, it's easy to get addicted, and then you might kill yourself if you're not careful.

For example, "I draw a circle, you stand inside it and don't move." If you step out of the circle, you will definitely be caught.

'This button must not be pressed.' Pressing it will clear the memory and return to three seconds ago, and then enter an endless loop of 'Huh? There is a button here, press it...Huh? There is a button here, press it.'

And those movies I've watched before, like "You go!", "I won't go! If we're going to die, let's die together!", etc., Ying despises them the most. After all, in many cases, if you have green mountains, you won't have to worry about having no firewood to burn.

Of course, sometimes, she couldn't help but choose not to leave.

Just like how many years ago, when she and her brother Kong were about to leave this world, they met the white-haired woman who called herself "The Maintainer of Heaven's Law".

In fact, when Kong was sealed, her best option was to escape as quickly as possible and wait for her chance.

But knowing that this choice is best doesn't mean she can actually make this choice.

Of course... whether he could escape was another matter. After all, that woman was so terrifyingly strong.

"Paimon wouldn't do that." Paimon stomped on the air angrily when he heard Ying's words.

"That's good." Ying nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go back to Liyue Harbor to find Catherine and tell her about the Rock Dragon Lizard."

"Okay." Paimon nodded, and was then pulled into Ying's arms, as the things in front of him changed rapidly.

When they came to their senses, they were already standing at the teleportation anchor point of 'Liyue Harbor'.

——On the other side——

Zhong Ling stood at the highest point of 'Tianqiu Valley', with his vertical pupils dilated to the extreme, so that he could take in the scenery even at a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

But even so, she didn't notice anything wrong.

She felt that it was unlikely that the birth of the [Rock Dragon King] awakened these rock dragon lizards, and Ruota had no contact with the outside world.

Then, the only beings that can awaken the rock dragon lizards are probably the ancient rock dragon lizards.

However, it is extremely difficult to find the ancient rock dragon lizard because it is very smart.

Creatures like rock dragon lizards have a lifespan as long as a mountain. As long as they are not killed, they have the opportunity to enter three stages of metamorphosis.

They are the young rock dragon lizard, the rock dragon lizard and the ancient rock dragon lizard.

Among them, the ancient rock dragon lizard is the final form of the rock dragon lizard.

Well, although there are certain similarities in appearance, the Rock Dragon Lizard and the [Rota Dragon King] are completely different life forms, so it is impossible for the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard to become the [Rota Dragon King], and the gap in strength is as huge as a chasm.

In terms of strength, if the rock dragon lizard is still an object that humans can defeat and kill, then the ancient rock dragon lizard has already surpassed this category.

The ancient rock dragon lizard's combat power is extremely strong. Although it is far inferior to the real demon gods, it can also rival the immortals. Moreover, the unique racial advantage allows even the weakest ancient rock dragon lizard to possess power slightly beyond the several immortals in "Jue Yunjian".

The most powerful ancient rock dragon lizard that Zhong Ling had ever seen was so powerful that even the five most warlike [Guardian Yakshas] at that time could hardly compete with it alone...

The most terrifying thing about ancient rock dragon lizards is that although they are monsters, they possess extraordinary intelligence.

The ancient rock dragon lizard is like an immortal... No, from a certain perspective, the ancient rock dragon lizard is a different kind of immortal, a follower of the [Rock Dragon King].

The ancient rock dragon lizard, which possesses extraordinary intelligence, is good at using its advantages and is best at hiding itself.

Ancient life forms like the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard have long become indistinguishable from the breath of the earth, just like the rock slimes hidden in the mountains.

If the ancient rock dragon lizard does not reveal its breath, then even if it is seen by the naked eye, it will be perceived as just a small hill.

However, Zhong Ling still has special means to find the ancient rock dragon lizard.

"They won't go far away from here." Zhong Ling looked at the ruins of Tianqiu Valley.

The story depicted in the vernacular novel is very different from the facts.

There has never been any powerful evil god invading, nor has Morax left Liyue for important matters, nor has there been any decisive battle between [Lord Ryota] and the evil god.

The real shadow that shrouded the 'Land Abyss' thousands of years ago was none other than [Lord Rhoda], and the one who fought with [Lord Rhoda] all the way from the 'Land Abyss' to the 'South Gate of Heaven' was none other than Morax.

If we want to talk about whether there is truth in what is described in this book...then it is only that [Cangming Yuanjun] is indeed seriously injured.

When the [Ancestor of Rock Dragon] was sealed, the Rock Dragon Lizards who witnessed this dived into the depths of the earth and hid.

The 'Nantianmen' and 'Tianqiu Valley' are where a large number of rock dragon lizards hide, so we just need to narrow the scope to the 'Nantianmen' and 'Tianqiu Valley'.

Since the range is not "large", we will use special methods to search it. The ancient rock dragon lizard is at the immortal level anyway, so we will use some immortal methods.

Well, [Cangming Yuanjun] is also an immortal!

"Listen to the imperial edict, announce this decree, [Immortal Technique: Night Spring Silver Bamboo]"

The golden glow sank into the sky, but within a moment, the surrounding water elements became denser and the humidity of the air could be clearly felt.

The midday sun was obscured by dark clouds. A pale flash of lightning floated in the clouds, and then heavy rain poured down.

When the rain curtain covered the entire 'Nantianmen' and 'Tianqiu Valley', Zhong Ling's perception also completely covered these two areas.

"Found it." Zhong Ling, standing in the rain, opened her eyes, with tears flowing in her eyes.

She has found the 'culprit' that caused the rock dragon lizard to revive.

"If I hadn't made it rain, I really wouldn't have been able to find you." Zhong Ling's figure disappeared at the top of the mountain. When she appeared again, she had come to a dilapidated ruin in Tianqiu Valley.

Her eyes fell on the cracks wet by rain.

The rain flowed through the cracks and into the bottom of the cracks.

Even Zhong Ling could not have imagined that there was something hidden in a crack in the ground deep in the ruins of "Tianqiu Valley".

It was a cave that was tens of meters deep and at least two hundred meters in diameter.

And somewhere in this dim cave, a huge life was crawling there.

Its body was rising and falling slightly, indicating that it was still alive, but other than that there was no other movement.

"Don't you want to open your eyes and take one last look at this world?" Zhong Ling looked at the ancient rock dragon lizard in front of him that pretended to be still asleep.

Although there was no movement on the surface, with the arrival of Zhong Ling, the sense of crisis accelerated the elemental power in its body.

"Roar..." Realizing that it could no longer hide the truth, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard let out a heavy groan and its tightly closed eyes gradually opened.

C.38 The Determination of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard

When the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard heard the voice of this "woman", it already knew its fate.

That is an absolutely unbridgeable gap in combat power. The white dragon formed from Liyue's water essence is similar to the [Ancestor of Rock Dragons] they believe in.

Of course, it's just similar.

Just like the creatures include humans, wild boars, squirrels, pigeons, etc...

Elemental dragon is just a general term.

Rota, Naga, and Tevarin are all elemental dragons, but there is a big gap in their strength.

This is because the reasons for their birth are different.

But no matter what the reason for their birth, the power of the elemental dragons is far beyond the reach of the ancient rock dragon lizards.

Knowing this well, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard looked at the woman in front of him.

The huge body was trembling slightly, and its pupils were filled with fear.

It had witnessed the horror of this woman firsthand.

Thousands of years ago, when it was still a little creature that had just transformed into a rock dragon lizard, it had witnessed the cruelty of this woman.

And it still remembers that shadow today.

At that time, the rock dragon lizards noticed the awakening of their king, the [Ancestor of Rock Dragons], and they were excited to do something for the king.

Then they discovered the king's enemies, the usurpers!

This world belongs to the dragons! Humans are not worthy of living on this land!

With this thought in mind, they attacked 'humans'.

However, the rock dragon lizards living deep in the earth do not know that these weak mortals are protected by powerful beings.

And just as they were about to attack the mortals, a claw slammed down on the mountain, and then, a creature ten thousand meters long appeared.

They clearly don't know each other, but they can understand what kind of existence the other is.

That is the highest level of elemental creation, the elemental dragon.

His scales shone beautifully under the sunlight, and the extremely elegant and beautiful white dragon launched an attack.

Just one blow.

The head of the ancient rock dragon lizard, which was the most powerful in their minds except for the [Ancestor of Rock Dragons], was plucked off by the dragon claws.

The white dragon casually threw the head of the ancient rock dragon lizard away, and that scene became its eternal shadow.

In fact, it has been awake for quite some time, but it did not act rashly and still pretended to be asleep.

If it is just a young rock dragon lizard or a rock dragon lizard, it is still within the range of permitted activities.

If the ancient rock dragon lizard is discovered, it will be killed.

Just recently, through the "voice" of the earth, it learned the news that Morax had passed away.

However, the king felt sorry that his old enemy died without a fight.

The death of Morax did not make it move at all, because it was very clear that the Naga still existed.

In front of the Naga, whether it is one ancient rock dragon lizard or ten ancient rock dragon lizards, the only difference is whether you use your claws to pick off its head or use elemental power to smash them.

So it continued to pretend to be asleep.

Its thousands of years of life have given it extraordinary patience, and it continues to wait.

Soon, it saw the decisive battle between the [Demon of the Whirlpool] and Naga through the 'eyes' of the earth, and learned the news that Naga had also passed away.

In order to confirm the truth of the disappearance of [Emperor Rock King] and [Cangming Yuanjun], it still suppressed the excitement in its heart and waited patiently.

And just a few days ago, it actually heard the voice of the [Ancestor of Rock Dragon].
