Chapter 956: This time, we've accidentally stumbled into a trial.
Knowing that he was traveling in the sacred cemetery of the dragon race, Gu Heng became more cautious and quickened his pace.
The important thing is to get out of this dragon's burial ground as soon as possible.
Several more hours passed.
Gu Heng squinted at the horizon. The red sand was twisted and deformed in the heat, making it impossible to see anything. But he trusted the system's judgment because mountains appeared on the plain in front of him.
After traveling for so long, the terrain finally changes, which usually means the journey is nearing its end.
If we cross that mountain, we might be able to see the city.
What would a dragon's city look like?
So far, Gu Heng has not seen any civilizations other than humans, but considering that the dragon race has close ties with humans, he might feel at home here...
"Once we get past that mountain, we should be almost there, right?"
Gu Heng asked in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing the sleeping dead dragon.
Gu Xitong was in charge of navigation the whole way, and the directions changed several times along the way. The monotonous journey, coupled with the scorching wind, almost made him numb.
Now that he feels his suffering is almost over, he can't wait to get confirmation.
"That's right, beyond that mountain, it's not far to leave the Burial Ground of the True Dragon."
"After we go out, we should be able to see the Dragon City."
Gu Xitong pointed to the distant mountains and said.
"it is good!"
Gu Heng rubbed his hands together and immediately quickened his pace. The mountain still looked very far away; the saying "looking at a mountain makes your horse run itself to death" probably applies here. Gu Heng was still a little curious because this desolate and lifeless red earth was ridiculously vast, and it was hard to imagine that many, many dragons were buried here.
"System, how many dragons are buried in this True Dragon Burial Ground?"
he asked.
"I can't provide detailed figures, but based on the analysis of technological civilizations, at least tens of millions of dragons were buried here after their deaths..."
"Moreover, those who can be buried here are all dragons with extremely powerful bloodlines."
She began to speak slowly.
"What?! Tens of millions?!"
Gu Xitong's words left Gu Heng somewhat dumbfounded: "You're joking, right?"
“My emotional module still needs to be learned, and my current learning progress is insufficient, so I have no sense of humor.” Gu Heng clicked his tongue. He had never heard Wu Zhao or Yue Ru mention whether the dragon civilization could reproduce. He guessed that it was probably not possible, since the advantage of “being able to reproduce” is usually not associated with such a noble creature as a “dragon”.
In all the worlds, humans are probably not particularly prolific; insectoid and plant civilizations are the recognized masters of reproduction!
Tens of millions of true dragons with superior bloodlines?
If dragons truly cannot reproduce, then it can only mean that the history of dragon civilization is so ancient that even the dragons buried here have reached a terrifying number.
Tens of millions...
It might sound like a lot, but Gu Heng thought about it again and realized that the human population was probably tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of times greater.
Those beings truly powerful enough to stand at the pinnacle of civilization are, compared to the vast number of living beings, pitifully few, and not ridiculously many. Suddenly.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly shook, and Gu Heng stumbled, almost falling over!
"what happened?!"
“An unusual force has begun to flow beneath the burial soil…” Data streams flashed in Gu Xitong’s eyes. “The energy reading is rising very quickly.”
Gu Heng broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. It seemed that his luck was not as good as he had imagined. He immediately drew his goose feather knife. Fortunately, it was not too late. The red earth not far in front of him suddenly rose up, churning like boiling water, and then exploded with a bang!
Amidst the swirling red sand, a colossal creature burst forth from the earth!
It was a crimson dragon, distorted by the heat, giving it an ethereal quality. Yet, when it raised its head and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves could shake the surrounding scorching winds!
"Holy crap!" Gu Heng instinctively took a few steps back. "System, didn't you say there are usually no dragons here?"
"Could this be the ghost of a dragon?"
“This is a unique dragon soul found only in the True Dragon Burial Ground,” Gu Xitong calmly analyzed. “We came at the wrong time. The dragon souls in the True Dragon Burial Ground are only activated during trials, serving as opponents for the dragons undergoing those trials.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng gave a wry smile.
He had just emerged from the Epochal Cemetery and landed right on the territory of the Dragon Clan civilization. He could only pass through the True Dragon Burial Ground, and coincidentally, a "trial" was currently underway there...
What else is there to say?
He wasn't unlucky.
He hit the jackpot!
The crimson dragon spirit seemed to sense their presence, turning its head towards the two, its golden vertical pupils flashing with a dangerous light.
Gu Heng confronted the dragon soul, and then more dragon souls kept rushing out from under the burial ground beside him, greedily feeling the "fresh air" outside the burial ground. Soon, there were seventeen or eighteen dead dragon souls with their bodies completely red!
These dragon souls look no different from real dragons, only more illusory, and their eyes lack any of the spirituality of living beings.
"I can beat these things, right?"
Gu Heng silently looked at Gu Xitong.
"You're not even afraid of this?"
So it seems that the dead, who pose no threat whatsoever, have appeared!
He immediately felt confident.
He went up and slashed a few times, instantly turning those ferocious dragon souls into dust amidst their screams.
easy.
However, Gu Heng was not worried about these wandering souls. Since the reason these wandering souls appeared was because the dragon race was conducting trials, his fate would be truly uncertain if he were to encounter those dragons.
He had to get going quickly, otherwise he would be in deep trouble if he were discovered by living dragons.
You can't exactly say you escaped from the Epoch Graveyard and ended up here by chance, can you?
The idea that he escaped from the Epoch Cemetery... if it's taken as a lie, he'll be in big trouble; even worse, if it's taken as the truth, he'll definitely be in serious trouble.
"We'll just go through the middle of that mountain, no more detours!"
Gu Heng had no intention of traversing the mountains, fearing that the complex terrain would waste even more time.
But now, taking a detour is obviously riskier.
……
Beyond the burial ground of the true dragon. The dragon's might is overwhelming.
Countless powerful dragons, now in human form, are silently watching the progress of the trials within the burial ground.
Although all beings within the Dragon Clan civilization are of the dragon race, they are divided into several levels based on the quality of their bloodline. For those lower-ranking clans, this "Ancestral Soul Trial" is the key to determining whether their clan can cross the bloodline threshold in the future!
Among the ordinary dragon clan powerhouses watching from the sidelines, there were naturally quite a few who were extremely nervous at this moment.
among them.
This includes Bai Jun, the head of the Bai Feng clan.
The Dragon Clan civilization is divided into five bloodline levels. The Bai Feng bloodline is at the fourth level, "Turbid Blood Ancient Dragon," but it is not much better than the lowest fifth level, "Slave Blood Sub-Dragon."
The lower one's bloodline level, the less status one has within this dragon civilization.
But when Bai Jun went to the Immortal Dao Civilization before, he keenly seized an opportunity!
He discovered a white dragon that had transcended from the lower-dimensional source realm and was originally a primordial being of that source realm!
It's that white dragon...
There is a very high chance that this will allow the Bai Feng clan's bloodline to advance to a higher level!
