"You are still the same as before, with all your expressions written all over your face." The stern young man pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was not much prettier than crying. "Yes, you guessed it right, I will lead the team this time... I thought it would be a fierce battle, to be honest, I am a little disappointed."
"But Sim! This is stealing—"
"This is not stealing, it's custody." The young man interrupted him, and at the same time glanced at the other people in the tent, his lips moving.
"In trust—isn't it? Who made them fail to notice our large-scale troop movement? Who made them disdain the legendary dragon tomb? We have spent several generations and hundreds of years chasing it, not for the purpose of dedicating it to its so-called true owner the moment we find it."
"Well said." The elder from Haierle smiled and turned to look at the one in front: "You heard it too... Haier? This is a trusteeship, we are just helping to keep it. Once they are confirmed to be qualified and ask us for it..."
"We will return what belongs to them." Seeing that he began to hesitate, the young man immediately took over and helped him complete the part.
At this moment, many people in the tent who were still hesitating breathed a sigh of relief.
This was an excuse, but it was also like a belief. They finally made up their minds, leaving only Heyerle with a frown on his face.
The meeting was over and people started to walk out. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. At this time, the stern young man quickly approached him and hit him hard on the waist.
"idiot!"
He heard evil words in his ears.
"Don't you see how many people want to take things? Why do you directly oppose it? Don't you have a brain?"
"Shim!" Heyerle was cheered up. Could it be that Shim actually supported him?
"Don't look at me like you're looking at your wife." Xim's face darkened. "I promise that even Kona won't support you."
After hearing this, Haierle drooped his head like a frost-bitten eggplant, looking greatly shocked.
"You are still as stupid and naive as before." Xim curled his lips, "But at least there are still people who understand you."
"Don't lie to me..."
"It's true." Shim smiled, "Do you remember who you sent here five years ago?"
"Five years..." Heiler was stunned for a few seconds, then raised his head suddenly, "You mean--"
"Bal." Shim smiled very happily.
"Bar-Gallant."
"Yes... He completed his training in the North. He even caught up with this operation. I think he is already--"
"elder brother!"
Before he could finish his words, a figure squeezed in from outside, opened his arms and tightly hugged Heyerle's neck.
He was a handsome young man in his early twenties, with the same scarlet hair as him, a slightly childish face, and his habitually pursed lips showed that he had a tough character.
"Bal! Ha...hahahaha!"
Seeing this man, Heyerle finally smiled sincerely.
He happily hugged his brother and nodded continuously, thinking that it would be nice if things continued like this.
Chapter 100 Fei Che Holy Spring Nine
When Hitzfeld floated here, what she saw was the scene of the two people hugging each other tightly.
She didn't care at first, but the conversations made her eyes widen.
Is that Barr?
Baal?
Bar-Gallant?
The fire dragon in Green Town?
Although it has been confirmed that the Granat family is also a member of the Dragon Guard, Hitzfeld still got goosebumps when he actually saw this person in the projection, saw the young Baal, and kept comparing him with the crazy old man in reality.
Maybe this is the mystery of time.
Only time can give people this kind of insight, allowing them to once again deeply experience... the beauty of the present.
"How strange." Xia Yibing, who was standing beside him, held her chin up, "Don't you think it's strange that we can move suddenly?"
What she meant was not that they were originally unable to move, but that they were restricted in range and could only stay near the fire knife.
It was as if all of this was outlined by the memory of the fire-starting knife, and a knife - even if it was alive and conscious, the range of its perception was extremely limited. She thought this might be why they couldn't float too far.
Because this is a projection.
The projection is an illusion created based on conscious memory, outlining the main body of the illusion. If it doesn't know what is happening elsewhere, even if they can float out, they probably won't see anything.
So now it’s very strange: not only have they been freed from restrictions, but all the images are still so clear from such a distance.
The faces of the people, the details of their armor, the ropes of the tents, the soil, the carpets... everything is so detailed and real.
This doesn't make sense. It can't be the consciousness of the fire knife. Its spiritual power suddenly surged at this moment and could cover such a large area, right?
"It's really strange..." Hitzfeld nodded approvingly, "But I think you should be able to guess the reason."
The reason?
Xia Yibing frowned.
Now, Lazuli-Deka has led his men to block the Feiche Holy Spring in the valley.
It is said that there are mineral veins under the valley. Mineral veins alone should not be able to stop a living creature from moving underground... so it is probably the magnetic field... That thing is just a spring after all, it has no eyes, and perhaps the magnetic field will disrupt its judgment of direction.
That is to say, the Fei Che Holy Spring is trapped here. As long as it remains trapped here, one day, perhaps soon, the Dragon Tomb Puppet loaded with secret treasures will come to reunite with it.
Now three of the Dragon Guard families have gathered together, with only the Time Dragon missing. They will not let go of this good opportunity, so if the projection is likened to a stage play, what is to be performed next may be its final act.
Does that mean the holy spring is nearby?
Or has the dragon tomb already arrived nearby?
It's not surprising that she thought so. Apart from these two possibilities, no other situation could explain why the exploration range of the fire knife suddenly increased.
The knife was just a dead object, it couldn't do it on its own. That meant there was something else helping it, resonating with it through an invisible channel... maybe a magnetic field...
Considering where it came from, she would of course speculate whether the Holy Spring Dragon Tomb was approaching.
So I was outdone by her again.
Feeling a little unhappy, the ponytailed woman suddenly attacked and hugged Hitzfeld from behind.
"What are you doing again..." Hitzfeld was thinking about something, and was frightened by her and trembled, "Don't do this... Let go!"
She really couldn't understand it. In this "ghost state" of consciousness, she couldn't smell any fragrance. It was understandable that she liked to do this in real life, but why did she always do this here?
It can't be... for that unique feeling of friction.
"Nothing." The woman rubbed her face from behind, "I just feel that although you are consciously restraining yourself, you still unconsciously reveal your arrogant side most of the time..."
"Don't you like it..." Hitzfeld was stunned, "If you don't like it..."
“I like it.” The woman interrupted her quickly, “If it was someone else, I would hate it, but that’s you… Aisuen… I just think you’re cute.”
How come she always comes up with such weird things to say?
If a conscious body had blood and body temperature, Hitzfeld felt that her entire body - including her clothes - would have turned red by now.
“It’s really… magical.”
Then she heard the woman whispering again.
"The past... reappears before my eyes in this form... This is the power of God's Eye... This is the power of God..."
After hearing this, Hitzfeld finally understood why the woman was crazy.
There is a difference between the mundane and the extraordinary.
Although Xia is also a transcendent being, he is no different from an ordinary person in front of God's eyes.
But too much power will inevitably bring a sense of distance.
So Xia was afraid.
I was afraid that I couldn’t control this power, or that it would backfire on me and I would gradually become another person.
So that’s why she emphasized the… cute things about me?
Because it makes me look like a human being.
Human flaws…that’s human nature.
“No matter what I become, some things will never change.”
After thinking for a moment, Hitzfeld grabbed the woman's hand, covered the back of her hand with his ten fingers, and sank into the gaps between their fingers.
"That is, I will always believe in you... I will never reject you to be with me... by my side..."
It's the limit.
For Hitzfeld, this level of corniness is the limit.
She really couldn't say anything more outrageous, as the mere thought of this was enough to make her explode with embarrassment.
But she couldn't say it, Xia Yibing didn't care.
The woman's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to recite her speech, she suddenly saw a bunch of fireworks coming out in the distance, exploding into a large ball of light in the night sky.
Some figures were moving around nearby and screaming, "What's going on?"
"It seems like they found the dragon's tomb!"
"So fast?"
"Never mind...go take a look first!"
The camp soon became agitated, and a group of people fully armed and wearing armor quickly rushed to the location where the fireworks were set off.
It was a hilly basin. The depression was very small, only ten square meters. It was hidden behind a mound of earth. A man was already standing there with a torch in his hand.
"Lazuli!" Heiler on the horse called out the man's identity, and jumped off the horse with Shim, Bal and others and ran over, only to find that he was still staring at the mound motionlessly.
What’s going on? Was he the one who threw the fireworks?
The others were farther away and were a little confused.
But the few people who came closer saw clearly: deep in the shadow of the mound, where Lazuli's eyes were fixed, there was actually a deep cave hidden in the darkness.
"The entrance," Lazuli said.
"Every time it deliberately leaves an entrance above ground... I think they must have reunited. We need to hurry."
The others looked at each other and tacitly agreed to the proposal.
They came here for this purpose, so there is no need for them to shrink back.
Soon, a lean and powerful exploration team was formed, with a total of more than one hundred people, all of whom were elite players among the Dragon Guard tribe.
Lazuli knew the most about the Dragon Tomb, so he walked in front, followed closely by Heiler and others, all of whom looked very nervous.
"You should go back."
As they went down into the cave, Heiler kept trying to persuade Baal to leave.
"I've already finished sharpening it!" Bal was not convinced, thinking that his brother looked down on him, "If you can lift the hammer, I can lift it too... Don't underestimate me!"
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing followed them silently all the way. When they heard this conversation, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they didn't know what would happen next, they could all guess that it would not be a good thing.
Otherwise, how could this story not have been recorded?
In real history, there is no record of any Dragon Guard family opening the Dragon Tomb this time, which most likely means that this exploration team was wiped out.
A war may have broken out within the Dragon Guards, leading to the extermination of the Fire Dragon Family's Gralant, leaving only Old Bal alone, who fled to the east with the secret technique of transforming into a dragon.
And he was in that kind of... crazy, insane state. He didn't even remember that he was originally a human being. For a long time, he was regarded as a demon and a beast.
But Hitzfeld didn't quite understand how all this happened.
Because of the Mimic.
Even if the Fei Che Holy Spring carries the Mimicry Demon's microscopic virus... but that thing has become so powerful that it needs a host to exert its power. These people are all elite and very cautious. Can a mere Mimicry Demon cause their annihilation?
It is obvious that Kyle did not leave the tomb puppet to kill future generations, so what kind of danger could there be in the tomb?
She doesn't understand.
Just as she was thinking this, Lazuli finally opened a round steel door in front of her.
