Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

The entire Taoist temple is not very big, but the interior is extremely clean.

It can be seen that even after the Taoists left, Keke, Kexin and other villagers still did not neglect the cleaning of the Taoist temple.

It can be seen that the Taoist priests in Sanxi Village are still very respected in the hearts of the villagers.

As you walk into the hall, you will see many strange-shaped statues.

But compared to these Eastern gods that Xingjian was completely unfamiliar with, the murals on the innermost side of the hall further attracted Xingjian's attention.

There are two dragons painted on the mural.

It is not the image of a common hunting monster, but more like the Yinglong that Jiang He played after activating the skill card.

It just lacks Yinglong's iconic phoenix wings.

The slender and gorgeous bodies of the dragons, one green and one yellow, fly and circle around in the mural, appearing lifelike.

At the bottom of the mural, there are a few short lines of text engraved.

Erica: "I don't understand it at all. This isn't modern writing."

Modern writing is completely standardized, just like language. The four major countries use the same language, making communication between different countries more convenient.

In the mural, the characters engraved below the two dragons are obviously the characters of the ancient Tianque Kingdom.

It's normal that Erica doesn't understand.

As long as Xingjian can understand it, it's fine

For Gu Long, who is proficient in all languages, it should be no problem for him to translate the ancient text of Tianque Kingdom.

However, the ancient writing system of Tianque often uses metaphors. Some words cannot be fully understood by simply translating them superficially.

For example, if Xingjian were forced to translate these sentences, it would be:

[A divine dragon, in the form of a young girl, coexisted with humans. Over a thousand years later, the dragon soared in the sky, bringing favorable weather and good harvests, and ensuring peace and prosperity for the nation.]

Even if it is Xingjian, it can only be translated like this.

Try to understand, does it mean that the dragon takes on the form of a human girl and lives with humans, and after a thousand years, it will grow into a real dragon, fly into the sky, and repay humans?

Like a story from a myth or legend.

"Ouch!"

Coco, who was outside holding a pile of pancakes, fell to the ground because she was too careless and impatient, and the round pancakes were scattered all over the ground.

"Are you okay?" Xingjian walked out of the hall.

"Keke is fine, but the pancakes..." The little girl's eyes were filled with regret: "The pancakes are dirty. The Taoist priest said it's not good to waste food."

"It's okay, Lillian won't mind. Just give it to her."

"Really? That's great!"

Coco picked up the pancake and ran away happily again.

Xingjian didn't care whether Lillian minded or not. As long as she didn't tell her that it was a pancake that fell on the ground, she would finish it in two bites and would not have time to care.

Looking at the girl's back, Xingjian suddenly became concerned about something.

"Coco, how old are you?"

"Eight years old!" Coco answered without turning her head.

He is only eight years old, so he must be worrying too much.

Apart from the hall, there seemed to be nothing else new in the entire Taoist temple.

All that was left was a water clock in the middle that looked like an ancient timepiece, which Xingjian couldn't understand at all.

Speaking of time, Xingjian felt that they should set off quickly, otherwise they would miss the Hundred Dragons Night Parade in the evening.

We have to urge Lillian.

"I was wondering why it was so lively all of a sudden. I thought Daozuo and his men had returned."

Xingjian and Lillian stuffed the remaining few pieces of pancakes into their mouths and were about to leave when they heard an old voice coming from outside the house.

"Sixth Master? Why are you here?" Ke Xin greeted him.

Standing outside the door was an old man leaning on a cane, with a hunched back. He looked quite old in human terms.

"Come and see the Taoist temple. Maybe you will never see it again."

"Don't say such unlucky things," Ke Xin said. "Everyone in the village has evacuated. Perhaps the Hundred Dragons' Night Parade won't pass through Sanxi Village."

"I hope so. Speaking of which, there are young guests in the village at this time. Aren't you planning to evacuate? The main force just left, so we should be able to catch up."

"Coco and I are about to leave."

"Then you should hurry up and take advantage of the morning when the Yang energy is strong and you will be less likely to be attacked by monsters on the road."

"Grandpa, what about you?" Lillian asked, "Aren't you going with us?"

He first glanced at Lillian, then Old Six opened his mouth, revealing his few remaining teeth, and laughed.

"Hahaha, my old bones, why should I walk? I can't move anymore. I've lived in Sanxi Village all my life, and I can't move anywhere else. If the Hundred Dragons Night Parade comes, let this old man and this village disappear together."

Xingjian had experienced the same thing once in Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village.

The elderly who have difficulty moving cannot keep up with the main force even if they evacuate, and can only choose to live and die with the village.

But for Lillian, a saint who was ignorant of the world and had always lived under the protection of the Granna Church, this was the first time she felt the difficulties of this world.

"That way, you'll die." Lillian's light blue eyes trembled slightly.

"How can an old man be afraid of death? I'm already eighty-three years old, and I have no regrets in life."

"Didn't the other elderly people in the village evacuate either?"

"Well, let me think about it." Old Sixth Master didn't expect that this beautiful young girl would actually care about such a thing: "Including me, there are probably more than a dozen families."

"Then if the Night Parade of Hundred Dragons comes, you will all die!" Lillian seemed a little too excited. This time, not only her pupils but also her slender body began to tremble.

"Lillian, stop talking." Xingjian stopped her.

Xingjian had long known that it was impossible to save everyone in the face of the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons.

What happened in Yunxue Village was a miracle that happened once in a million.

At that time, the scale of the Hundred Dragons Night Parade was still very small, and with the help of Li Yi's will and the plug-in like the Dragon-Slaying Cannon, the whole village could unite as one and grasp the slim chance of survival.

But this time was different. After devouring countless villages and cities, the Night Parade of the Hundred Dragons had expanded to such a scale that the Skyque Nation had to organize its legions to fight them to the death.

The lives of a dozen or so old people in the small village seemed so insignificant in front of the huge army of hundreds of dragons.

"I can see that you have a very kind heart, little girl. You are a good child."

Old Six smiled and patted Lillian's trembling shoulders.

"It's so early in the morning, so let's not say anything so unlucky. Just like Ke Xin said, maybe Bailong won't pass by Sanxi Village."

Old Six mentioned time twice, which made Xingjian feel strongly uncomfortable.

Why is it morning?

"Sixth Master, are you sure it's morning now?" Xingjian confirmed.

If he remembered correctly, at noon, he was still teaching Aleister how to use the katana.

When leaving, I took a special look at the time in the martial arts arena. It was 12:30 noon, so I headed to the academy.

So no matter how you look at it, it should be afternoon now.

"Xingjian, did you faint just now?" Keke stood on tiptoe and touched Xingjian's head, and by the way, touched the white hair that she had admired for a long time: "How pitiful."

"It's 9:20 in the morning. I just checked the water clock." Ke Xin said.

The water clock is an ancient clock placed in the center of the Taoist temple and used for timekeeping. Since Xing Jian couldn't understand it, he simply ignored it.

If it were really morning now...

Beep!

Xingjian suddenly heard a sound from his waist, like a communicator.

When he took it out and looked at it, he found it was the teleportation device that the dean had given to a few people.

Using the teleportation device will directly return to the location of the [Space-Time Dragon Gate], which is a very critical prop for support.

If you encounter danger, you can teleport away directly. Or after the battle is over, you can teleport back directly.

By the way, the teleportation device also has the function of communicating with the [Space-Time Dragon Gate].

Xingjian tried to connect the signal.

"Hello, is this Xingjian? Can you hear me?"

From inside the device, the dean's anxious voice was heard.

Such a magical scene stunned Old Sixth Master and Kekekexin.

Has the technology in the city become so advanced?

"Well, it's me."

"Great, we're finally connected."

On the other side of the device, the dean seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Dad, are you okay?”

Firefly's anxious voice also came from inside the device.

Then there were more urgent calls.

"Ai... Xing, Xing, see you! Brother, are you guys in danger?"

Erica: "That stupid voice, it's obviously my brother's."

After waking up from a hangover, Yule, who heard that Xing saw them going to fight the Hundred Dragons Night Parade, immediately rushed to the academy.

As a result, when Yule arrived, Xingjian had already been teleported away.

And the only ones who were teleported away were Hoshimi and Lillian.

This makes Yule even more worried about the safety of his sister (the host).

[Noa: "Xingjian, is Lillian next to you?"]

"Also there."

Noa: "That's great! We'll find a way to support them later. Please wait for us."

"Support, how to support?"

If Xingjian remembered correctly, the Gate of Spacetime Dragon should have a full day of cooldown.

Jiang He: "Let's just ride a griffin. Although, I've never ridden one before."

The Griffin, possessing the second-highest mobility among monsters after the Silver Dragon, is a unique weapon of the White Lion Kingdom.

Even if it is the marginal area of ​​Tianque Country, it can be reached in a few hours.

Directly mobilizing the Griffin Legion for support, needless to say, this is another example of the White Lion King's sister-con behavior.

Yul: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

However, if the White Lion's Griffin Legion could support this important Hundred Dragons War, or even if the new White Lion King could personally come to supervise the battle, the Skyque Kingdom would certainly express its deepest gratitude.

The relationship between the two countries will surely become closer, further breaking down the inherent barriers between Eastern and Western countries.

Dean: "Xingjian, there must have been an error with the transmission. Do you know where you are now? I'll have the Griffin Legion rendezvous with you later."

"Location." Xingjian glanced at Keke and Kexin beside him. "It seems to be in a place called Sanxi Village. Lillian is eating here for free."

"Sanxi Village?"

The dean called up the real-time monitoring map near the coordinates and his face changed suddenly.

"Wait, Xingjian, where do you think Lillian is eating?"
