Starting from the Dragon Clan, it's a 50-50 split

Chapter 234: Smart Dragon Servant, ready to hatch eggs?

In the huge Bronze City, there is a place that Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi have not yet discovered.

A huge creature was staring at a huge mirror made of glass in front of it, lost in thought.

In the mirror, what was seen was not the appearance of this huge creature, but the figures of Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi!

I don’t know what kind of exquisite structure it is, but no matter where Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi go, their figures will be projected onto this glass mirror, allowing this huge creature to pay attention to their every move.

This is a creature covered with blue-gray, bronze-like scales. Its hideous bone spurs and huge body show that it is completely different from the creatures known to the world. Its golden eyes like gas lamps and its hideous fangs are no different from the monsters in the legend. Its streamlined body and strong muscle lines represent its terrifying explosive power.

But this is not the Dragon King Norton, but a dragon servant. He is Norton's Samson, who has guarded this place for thousands of years and usually survives by eating the fish in the Three Gorges.

For so many years, he has not shown his figure to the outside world, so no one has discovered him. His mission is to guard Baidi City and wait for his king to return.

So he had already discovered it the moment Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi destroyed the living creatures at the door, but he did not dare to act rashly.

As a member of the dragon clan, he was proud, but compared to Mo Qiuran's action of easily destroying the bronze wall... Although he was reluctant to admit it, he felt that he could not win.

So he decided to pretend nothing happened, and wait until Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi entered the inner core area of ​​Baidi City, and then activate the mechanism inside Baidi City!

Baidi City was built by Norton himself. There are numerous alchemical arrays and mechanisms inside, and they are extremely powerful. This can be said to be the source of Dragon Servant's confidence!

But now…what did he see?

How could these two humans be so unscrupulous as to cover those mechanical structures with ice?

Do they think that this ice can block the operation of the mechanism?

How ridiculous!

A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the dragon servant. He thought that humans are just humans, dirty and inferior beings. How could they understand the miracles that the king's magnificent creation could create!

So he didn't take it seriously at all, and just waited for Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi to walk to the core area where they could not escape in a short time, and then he directly activated the mechanism!

"These all seem to be dragon characters..." Tang Zi said as she recorded everything on them with a camera.

She was referring to the void above where they were now. The space was so huge that it seemed like a giant's palace. The dome was engraved with ancient patterns. They were the scattered branches of a giant tree, and the leaves and branches were bent into unreadable characters.

"So, these guys seem to be artists." Mo Qiuran recalled the previous description of Long Wen and concluded, "However, in my opinion, it seems more like they have nothing to do after eating. Otherwise, why don't they write Long Wen separately, but put it in the picture? Doesn't it look troublesome?"

"In the era when dragons ruled humans, it was probably just a matter of having nothing to do after eating." Tang Zi said after thinking for a while.

At this moment, amidst the echoes of their voices, some other teeth-grinding sounds suddenly appeared.

It's like someone is holding two pieces of rusty iron sheets against your ears and rubbing them hard against each other. And because there are huge cavities inside this bronze palace, the sound is infinitely amplified.

The two were stunned and looked around.

"So, the host has finally noticed the arrival of the guests and is ready to come out to greet them?" Mo Qiuran said with a still relaxed look.

"It seems like this is the current situation," Tang Zi looked at the two intertwined gears in front of her. The transmission force coming from nowhere made them want to start twisting, but the Zhenbing sandwiched between the sharp bronze gears stopped them. Unless their power was strong enough to crush the Zhenbing directly into pieces, they could only stand still!

The teeth-grinding sound soon stopped. The frozen gears were not just the two in front of them. Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi walked all the way from the entrance to the core area of ​​Baidi City. All the things that could move that they saw were frozen by them with Zhenbing!

If only two gears are frozen, then at most one transmission component is damaged, which may not affect the use of other mechanisms.

But now, Mo Qiuran and his team have frozen all movable parts in about 1/4 of the city!

Of course, some mechanisms in other parts of the city can still be used. After all, not all gears are connected together. With Norton's attainments in mechanical engineering, such a thing will certainly not happen. But even if those mechanisms can be activated, they will not affect Tang Zi and Mo Qiuran!

The first mechanism activated by the Dragon Servant involved the transformation of the entire city. In this huge bronze Baidi City, all the parts can actually be moved. In other words, as long as they move, this place will become a constantly changing maze!

But now this maze cannot be changed because it has been frozen by Zhenbing.

At the glass mirror that could see most of the city, the dragon servant widened his eyes, and emotions of shock, disbelief and disbelief emerged in his eyes.

How can this be? !

This is the king's creation!

How is it possible to be restricted by the ice created by these two humans!

This is absolutely impossible!

But he quickly got rid of the disbelief, because the more important thing now was that the mechanism had failed. How to stop Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi from exploring further!

You know, they are not far from the king's [Cocooning Land]!

He stood up, but his huge body did not make much noise. He moved in one direction in the darkness like a snake.

……

"If there is someone behind this, he would probably be cursing right now." Mo Qiuran said jokingly.

"Don't swear!" Tang Zi glared at him.

So Mo Qiuran made a zipper-pulling motion with his mouth. Good students shouldn’t swear!

It is certainly acceptable to help others reinforce their houses, which is in line with the personality of a good student.

"According to inference, we should be about to reach the core area, which is Norton's residence. If he has not hatched yet, he is still in the cocooned [egg] state." Tang Zi said.

"So from an academic definition, dragons are actually oviparous animals?" Mo Qiuran seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"...From this perspective, it is indeed true. However, through simplification, they were able to become human-like in appearance, and even without reproductive isolation, they were mammals at the time." Tang Zi said, "So the dragon race is a very magical race..."

"The grass on the wall leans on both sides!" Mo Qiuran concluded.

Tang Zi: “…”

With Mo Qiuran's way of thinking, there is nothing wrong with coming to such a conclusion. However, although this sentence sounds a bit strange when used here, it is inexplicably appropriate.

The Bronze City is not the kind of city with houses as people are familiar with, but a series of huge cavities connected by countless corridors. Each cavity is different, but the common feature is that they all have some statues, murals or bronze gears.

Mo Qiuran knew nothing about these things, but Tang Zi had studied them deeply. According to her, the structure of this bronze city was in line with Feng Shui. Combining the characteristics of the Dragon King Norton and some of the structures here, it was possible to infer what the functions of certain places were.

Although they were walking inside and could not see the whole picture, how could such a thing possibly stump Mo Qiuran? When he used Magneto's power to open the cave entrance, he directly used magnetic induction to scan the entire Bronze City, and then directly constructed a scaled-down model using ice. Tang Zi only needed to study it.

This is a good thing. Otherwise, even if there is a physical 3D map, considering that Mo Qiuran knows nothing about Feng Shui, he would probably choose to use a simpler, cruder and more direct method.

Hmm... a not-so-good-student approach.

"There is a cavity in front, and then we should reach the [Cocooning Land]." Tang Zi said.

"There was no movement along the way, so boring... ha..." Mo Qiuran yawned in boredom.

"Should I say that you have a bad mouth or something..." Tang Zi looked forward with a strange look in her eyes.

"This should be called the way of speaking." Mo Qiuran said.

He also saw the huge creature in front of him that seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Its fifteen-meter-long body stood up like a small mountain. Its hideous bone spurs and sharp claws almost embedded in the bronze ground. Its pair of golden eyes as bright as gas lamps stared at them, as if it had known of their arrival.

A dragon!

Judging from its appearance alone, it seems to exert even greater pressure on people than Odin.

"Humanity……"

The dragon's mouth opened and closed slightly, revealing its long, sharp, withered yellow teeth, but the sound it made was not a roar, but a slightly hoarse voice as if it had not spoken for a long time.

"Leave, I will forgive you for destroying my palace!"

Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi looked at each other, their eyes full of weirdness.

"Are dragons so polite these days?" Mo Qiuran asked.

"I haven't encountered many of them before... However, since they are all intelligent creatures, it seems not impossible to encounter one or two polite ones occasionally?" Tang Zi said.

The two did not lower their voices when talking to each other. In fact, there was no point in lowering their voices. After all, it was so quiet here that you could hear a pin drop. The dragon servant was very unhappy when he heard this. He couldn't help but let out a long breath through his nose, but that was the end of it.

In fact, the Dragon Servant is not a so-called polite dragon. He is just able to use his intelligence to suppress the bloodthirsty instinct in his blood... It is precisely because of this that after thousands of years, he is the only one left guarding Baidi City.

The others...had long since turned to dry bones.

Compared to his companions whose minds were dominated by blood, he knew very well that his duty was to defend Baidi City, guard the king's [egg], and wait for the king's resurrection.

If only two weak hybrids came, he would definitely kill them immediately!

But now, the man and woman who came not only did not use conventional means to open the door, but easily destroyed and broke it open with violence, and also used the ice crystals they created to prevent the operation of the mechanisms in Baidi City!

This was simply unbelievable to the Dragon Servant. After all, this meant that the ice crystals that Mo Qiuran and the others had seemingly created effortlessly using the Word Spirit were actually comparable to the bronze that had been smelted by the King, or even better!

Reason told Long Shi the answer, but Long Shi was unwilling to believe it. So after leaving the place that was equivalent to the monitoring room, Long Shi went to the place where Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi were frozen at the beginning, and tried to use some means to destroy those ice crystals, but failed to cause any damage to those ice crystals!

Then the smart dragon servant understood one thing: the ones coming this time were not dirty little bugs that were a bit uncomfortable to touch, but two wild beasts hiding under human bodies, but much more ferocious than him.

His subconscious mind thought this was impossible, but his mind told him that this was the fact.

The greatest countermeasure has failed. Now is not the time to regret. If we cannot defeat them by force, we can only outsmart them!

That's why the Dragon Servant didn't launch any surprise attack, but just waited here, guarding the last checkpoint. He only hoped that he could persuade the two men to retreat, otherwise he would leave immediately with the king's eggs.

A fight to the death is impossible. From any perspective, Long Shi has not found any possibility of defeating Tang Zi and Mo Qiuran. Moreover, his inner sense of mission does not allow him to make the choice of "I don't care about the flood after I die".

But as a dragon servant, he absolutely could not escape before fighting, so he did not leave directly with the king's [egg].

"Humans, don't rely on your strength to act recklessly. When our king resurrects, bronze and fire will burn all over the world!" The dragon servant roared in a low voice, "Don't make unwise choices. Now, leave!"

"You mean... your king has a tendency to destroy the world?" Mo Qiuran said, "If that's the case, then we can't leave anymore. We must deal with the disaster now."

The dragon servant couldn't help but spread his wings to make his words more powerful, hiding his nervousness because of Mo Qiuran's words: "... What I mean is that you guys should leave quickly, after my king revives, he will... not destroy the world!"

……

"elder brother……"

It was that little boy's voice again.

Wait, how do I know it's his voice again?

In a trance, Old Tang seemed to see such a scene.

A little boy looked at him expectantly and asked softly, "When you raise the battle flag and devour the world, will you eat me?"

"Yes, and then you will rule the world with me..." he replied.

Wait, why him?

"Destroy the world... Constantine..."

Old Tang, who was sitting in front of the computer, was muttering to himself. Faintly, there seemed to be a golden light emerging from his eyes.

At this moment, a hand fell on his shoulder.

"Hey! Old Tang!"

Old Tang glanced sideways.

He was a boy who looked very gentle, reminding people of cherry blossoms falling slowly in the gentle wind. His pupils were like two deep pools of water in the sunlight, so deep that one could not see the bottom.

There was an inexplicable chill, as if if this continued, something extremely bad would happen. Old Tang shuddered and finally came to his senses.

"Are you awake from your nap? Are you ready to start playing games? Didn't you ask me to teach you how to play against humans?" Lu Mingfei said with a smile, "This is the top-of-the-line computer here, much better than the ones in the internet cafe!"

"Oh oh!" The floating light in Old Tang's eyes disappeared, and he didn't even notice it. He quickly clicked on the interstellar icon on the desktop.

Due to the trance caused by the long lunch break, Old Tang didn't notice that Lu Mingfei was relieved.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that Old Tang is also a Dragon King!" Lu Mingfei thought.

Now he has mentally accepted the fact that he is a dragon. Before leaving, he received a task from his boss, Mo Qiuran - to keep an eye on Old Tang.

By the way, he also learned Lao Tang’s true identity—one of the first generation.

According to Mo Qiuran, "You are both dragons anyway, and you are one level higher than him in terms of status, so it is most appropriate for you to keep an eye on him!"

Wait, doesn’t that mean… in a sense, Old Tang is his son?

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think in his mind, and then realized something. If he was really the Black King Nidhoggr, the ancestor of the dragon clan, he probably had countless descendants alive in this world.

terrible!

A picture appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind. During the Chinese New Year and other holidays, countless sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. came to pay New Year's greetings and ask for red envelopes... Thinking of this, the wallet that had just been full was suddenly facing the risk of starvation.

Even more terrifying!

“Let’s take it one step at a time. I hope the dragon tribe doesn’t have any tradition of giving red envelopes…” Lu Mingfei shook his head. He felt that the most important thing now was to fool Old Tang and prevent him from suddenly awakening into some first-generation species and kneeling down to call him daddy.

……

"This dragon is quite interesting." said Mo Qiuran.

"It's rare to find someone so rational." Tang Zi agreed.

The two continued walking forward as they talked, and the dragon servant had already been frozen to the side, its huge body completely covered by ice crystals, leaving only two breathing holes and a pair of eyes to prevent the dragon from suffocating to death.
