I became the old one

Chapter 7 Embark on the Path of the Saints, Searching for the Footsteps of the Gods (For Collection)

The sun is setting, and the red light is everywhere.

In the vast virgin forest, a clearing was excavated by the dragon descendants, and it was used as a place for communication and daily activities. The old but very powerful voice of the old priest Kanda echoed in this clearing, setting off waves in the forest.

The old priest looked northeastward, and the carnivorous dinosaur had a good view, and could see several kilometers away.

On the other hand, the dragonborn who walked upright had a much wider field of vision.

He saw a series of huge footprints deeply engraved on the earth, even thousands of years could not bury them, the footprints spread all the way to the distance, and disappeared under the fiery red light of the stars.

That is what Kanda calls the path of the saint.

In the past thousand years, Kanda has tried to find traces of the gods.

It's a pity that the road to the saint is too long, and there are still some terrible enemies scattered along it, even for dragon descendants who have inherited the power of the god's flame, it is very difficult.

And Kanda is also a tribal sacrifice.

He must always tell himself that he should consider the development of the ethnic group, so as to suppress his determination and desire to return to the light of the gods.

However, now is the time.

Kanda said to himself in his heart, he looked at the crowds of dinosaurs and those tall dragon descendants in front of him, and his heart was full of comfort.

Today, the dinosaur tribe has become the most powerful tribe in this forest, no creature can compete with it, and the number of dragon descendants who are wise and have inherited the glory of the gods has also increased to [-] in the past thousand years. One dragonborn will be born out of every ten naturally hatched dragon eggs in the world. The lifespan of dragonborn is much longer than that of normal dinosaurs.

It is conceivable that the number of dragon descendants will continue to grow for a long time to come.

"If the god wakes up and sees this scene, he will feel relieved compared to him."

Kanda thought to himself.

"So, who wants to embark on the road of saints with me, looking for the kingdom of the gods!" Kanda raised the scepter in his hand and called out to the group.

In an instant, the dragon group was filled with cheers like boiling, and all the dragon descendants were eagerly signing up, even those clansmen who had not yet received the gift were also roaring in a low voice.

After the birth of the dragon descendants, they have been growing up in the stories of the gods.

The catastrophe falling from the sky, the black smoke rising from the ground, the light that shredded the sky, and the original and only god...

Those pictures fascinated the dragon descendants, wishing to grow their wings and fly to the side of the gods. At this time, they heard that the old priest planned to lead everyone to the kingdom of the gods, and they immediately became excited.

"Very well, you are all good boys."

The old priest is more than 1000 to [-] years old. This life span far exceeds the theoretical limit of dinosaurs. Even dragon descendants will inevitably age at this age and lose their youthful brilliance.

But the old priest still looked full of strength, and his majestic body was unmatched among the dragons.

Although there were a few wrinkles on his face, those wrinkles appeared on his rock-like rough skin, which only made him look more intelligent.

"However, the road to the saints is a journey full of hardships and dangers. We are destined not to all embark on this road. Someone must choose to stay and take care of the hunting grounds that the gods have given us. It is also an insurance policy. Even if we fail, the flame will still be passed down on this land."

The old priest thought of all the trials and tribulations he had encountered when he embarked on the path of sainthood.

Even now, as time goes by.

His own strength grows more and more.

But it is still uncertain for the old priest whether he can lead his people to complete this long road.

In the end, after discussion, the old priest chose to take a thousand dragonborn who had mastered the power of fire and three times as many primitive dinosaurs as the dragonborn to embark on the road of saints.

They set off at dawn the next day, and all the clansmen came to see them off.

……

Just as the old priest expected.

The road to sainthood is full of setbacks, hardships, and dangers everywhere.

They once encountered a giant python that was hundreds of meters long. Its huge body was thicker than any ancient tree in the forest, and its strength was astonishing. It could fly a primitive dragon into the sky alive, and its spine broke instantly. , and then fell to the ground in a tragic collision, turning into a distorted corpse.

Fortunately, Kanda led a sufficient number of dragon descendants, and then used the power of the flame to burn this terrible python to death.

And those primitive giant worms.

Those centipede-like giant insects formed far earlier than the dinosaurs, and they may be one of the earliest life on land.

These giant worms have been able to live on this dangerous road for tens of thousands of years without being eliminated. Naturally, there is a reason for that. The huge body of the thick armor and the almost endless number gathered in front of them. After the scale swept over, even Kanda felt his scalp tingling when he saw such a scene, but fortunately those giant insects were still afraid of the flames.

The dragon descendants charged forward, relying on the flames to forcibly fight their way through the tide-like swarm of insects.

However, during this process, there were still many clansmen who were too seriously poisoned.

Fell on the road to the kingdom of the gods.

Kandar mourned the death of his people, but his resolve did not waver in the slightest.

He remembered that when he was a child, he was held in the palm of the gods. The figure of the gods was so tall that it covered the stars, the sun and the moon. There was golden light flowing from him, and the light brought hope and flames to the dragons.

Kanda believes that it is normal to encounter setbacks and tribulations during the journey, and only the most difficult tribulations can prove the determination of the pilgrims.

Finally, after 49 days and nights.

Kanda and his people followed the huge footprints to the point of the journey. There is a huge volcano rising from the ground with a height of more than 3000 meters. It is dark and majestic. Behind the volcano is a vast ocean, black The tide water mixed with white foam slapped on the mountain wall and reef one after another, with repeated sounds.

It was the first time for Kanda to see the sea, so vast.

At this time, the number of dragon descendants is only half, and the number of original dragons is less than one thousand, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

But as long as you can reach the end of the journey, everything is worth it.

Kanda collected his excitement and began to climb the huge volcano in front of him.

But when it climbed to the top of the mountain with anticipation and looked down towards the entrance of the volcano, Kanda was stunned for a moment, and did not see the figure of the god in the volcano.
