At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive..

Chapter 231 Clues to the Tears of the Stars

From Han Ning's observation, the dragons and giant dragons in this world each have their own strengths and are not particularly strong or weak.

Obviously, Jiaolong is more proficient in understanding the mystery and is good at using some special means to turn powerful offensives into invisible. Coupled with their elegant appearance, Han Ning is yearning for them.

"啷~" Qing Yao looked at the egg cake with his warm dragon eyes, stretched out his dragon claw, and patted its head gently, as if to encourage the latter.

"jiji~"

Egg Pancake, on the other hand, scratched his head in embarrassment, shrank in size, flew back to Han Ning's shoulder, and squatted down with his paws in his arms.

"啷啷~"

"Elder Qingyao asked if he still wants to try the move? He can continue to accompany him."

"Forget it, the egg cake consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Let's do this for today." Han Ning smiled politely at Qing Yao, and then took out a piece of Purgatory Red Lotus wrapped in layers of thick rocks from his waist bag. , handed it to Qingfan,

"Thank you for your hospitality these days, brother. This is the Purgatory Red Lotus promised to you."

"Thank you!" The moment Qingfan saw the Purgatory Red Lotus, he showed obvious excitement and decisively reached out to take it.

"You're welcome." Han Ning smiled, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Elder Qing Yao happens to be here. I want to ask, do you know where the Tears of the Stars exist?"

He had been busy helping the egg cake break through in the past few days. In addition, he had developed a certain friendship with Qing Fan in the past two days, so he thought to ask by the way, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.

"Tears of the Stars? I haven't heard that anyone in Dragon Blood owns this thing, but I can help you ask Lord Akatos. Maybe there is news about it."

Qing Fan shook his head and looked at Qing Yao again.

"Elder Qingyao, do you have any news?"

"啷~"

As a veteran of hundreds of years, Qing Yao also shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"Even Elder Qing Yao doesn't know." Han Ning sighed softly. Is he really going to the Qingshenjia tribe to find the Tears of the Stars, or is Yin Yi choosing to take another route? He was unwilling to give in.

"Don't be discouraged. Lord Akatos has been living on this continent since the ancestors walked the world. It is one of the oldest soul beasts living in the Insect Continent. Maybe it has news about the Tears of the Stars. "Qing Fan patted Han Ning's shoulder and comforted him softly.

"Okay... then there's work."

With a trace of remaining hope, Han Ning, who was originally planning to return to the academy, stayed in the Emerald Forest for another half day.

Towards evening, Qing Fan drove his huge stone dragon and landed smoothly in front of the tree house where Han Ning lived.

Han Ning, who was playing with the spirit beasts on the lawn, immediately greeted him with a look of anticipation on his face: "Is there any news?"

"Yes, Lord Akatos, please come over."

Qingfan did not jump off the stone dragon, but nodded and motioned to Han Ning to follow him to the Qingchao where Akatos was.

……

The top of the majestic and ancient Green Nest tree.

Inside the huge tree palace of Akathos.

Han Ning and the spirit beasts once again saw this powerful monarch-level dragon.

"Wow~ (In my impression, there are three places where the Tears of the Stars exist.)"

Qingfan stood under Akatos and translated dragon language for Han Ning.

As a soul beast, it went straight to the point without exchanging pleasantries.

When Han Ning heard this, the look of anticipation on his face became even stronger.

"Roar, roar. (The first place, in the Meteorite Mountain in the territory of the Qingshenjia tribe, there is a meteorite that fell from outside the territory five hundred years ago, containing a large amount of tears of the stars.)"

"The second place is the palace of the Insect Queen. The meteor armor passed down from generation to generation by the great priests is made from the tears of the stars."

"The third place is the Abyss of Resentment. In the ruins where the Aratak people originally lived, there is a treasure house for storing trophies. That treasure house was built by the Tears of the Stars."

"This……"

The more Han Ning listened, the heavier his heart sank.

Either the territory of the ancestor family, the queen's palace, or even the ruins of the abyssal race, no place is safe, it can be said that they are all extremely dangerous places.

"Sir Akatos, which place is... relatively safe?" Han Ning opened his mouth and asked bravely.

Akatos shook his head: "Ho! Roar! (They are all dangerous!)"

Seeing Han Ning's confused expression, Qing Fan added: "Meteor Star Mountain is located near the Qingshenjia Ancestral Court. If you want to get close, you must be a high-ranking insect master in their family, or a young insect master who has made great contributions to the family. , it’s very difficult for you to get close.”

"As for the Queen's Palace, not to mention, there are not only elite insect masters selected from various insect master families on duty, but the entire palace and nearby areas are under the perception of the queen and the great priest. As long as there is a little special psychic power, If the fluctuations are leaked, they will be alerted.”

"The third place...I'm not sure."

"Roar~ (The ruins of the Aratak people are easier to approach, but if you want to enter the ruins, you must be led by someone with the blood of Aratak flowing in your body. Although you are a high-level intelligent creature, you are obviously not Aratak." People.)” Akatos added.

"The blood of the Arataks...are there still Arataks living on the Insect Continent?" Han Ning asked reluctantly.

"Roar, roar. (In my impression, all the Aratak people with high intelligence have disappeared, and what's left are experimental soul beasts with only a trace of their blood. The concentration of their blood is too thin to pass the test. .)”

"What soul beast?" Han Ning's expression changed. If the Vientiane Silkworm were to collect the blood of these soul beasts, would it be possible to gather enough blood to extract the key to enter the ruins?

"Woohoo~ (Night demons, shadow reapers, shadow spider demons... Maybe there are some low-intelligent humanoid groups living in the abyss, and they also contain thin Aratak blood in their bodies. They haven't been to the abyss for too long, I don’t know if that has changed.)”

"Roar! (The most notable characteristics of soul beasts with Aratak blood are that they are either extremely handsome or extremely ugly, and have extraordinary control over dark energy. Those with deeper bloodline have the power of the undead.)"

"There is a chance... It turns out that those ugly soul beasts I have seen all have the blood of the Aratak people in their bodies. Maybe the All-Seeing Silkworms can purify their blood." Han Ning secretly said to himself, like It was in a dark environment that I suddenly saw a glimmer of light, and I had to grab it no matter what. "Your Excellency Akatos, if I can solve the bloodline problem, do you know what dangers there are inside the ruins?" He continued to ask.

"Ho? (Can you solve it? If you can really solve it, I would like to ask you for a favor. In exchange, I will send Qing Yao to accompany you to ensure your safety.)" Hearing Han Ning's words, Akatos' face showing human surprise.

"I'm not sure, but there is a certain chance." Han Ning didn't say anything too harshly.

"Ho! (You can try it if you have the chance! The ruins I'm talking about are called Night City. It is located in the Abyss of Resentment in the eastern part of the Insect Continent. It is the second largest city built by the Arataks in the Insect Continent. It once had about 20 people. of the population live inside.”

"1500 years ago, my beast master was invited by the Aratak people to visit this place with his friends. However, he was suddenly attacked by them and was seriously injured. They used special means to leave nearly half of his soul behind. , all my other companions were killed, and only my master and I managed to escape."

"I would like to ask you to help me find the other half of the master's soul after entering the ruins. If you can't find it... at least try to bring me some news."

"I didn't expect that a soul beast as powerful as Lord Akatos also has a master. That should be the founder of the Dragon Blood Clan, an ancestral insect master who escaped from the ancestral family?"

Listening to what Qing Fan translated, Han Ning was secretly surprised and asked:

"What was your approximate strength 1500 years ago? Also, why don't you go there yourself?"

If Akatos could go there in person, wouldn't everything be at his fingertips with his power second only to the queen?

"Roar~ (I just joined the monarch, I can't leave here. The entire Emerald Forest needs my life energy to hide the coordinates. Once I leave, the five ancestor families will immediately find that the Emerald Forest is exposed. It's okay to be exposed, but it means that I am no longer in the Emerald Forest. )"

"How did such a tyrannical ethnic group disappear?" Han Ning wondered.

"Ho, ho~ (I don't know either. They seemed to disappear suddenly overnight without leaving any information. Maybe you will gain something when you enter the ruins. After I left Ye Ming City, I followed the director I healed my wounds in the Emerald Forest. After that, I never heard any news about the Aratak people. It wasn’t until news came back from the dragon-blooded people adventuring in the Insect Continent that I learned that the Aratak people had disappeared.)”

After thousands of years, facing the death of his companions and beastmasters, when Akatos recounted the story, the dragon's face still showed unconcealable sadness.

"I understand." Han Ning nodded.

Next, Akatos said nothing more, but stretched out his claws to find a wooden board, and used the dragon's claws to outline a rough topographic map on it.

After a while, it pushed the board in front of Han Ning and said: "Ho, ho! (This is the terrain map of Yeming City and the general terrain around it that I drew based on my impressions)"

"Qing Yao knows the entrance to the Abyss of Resentment, and it will guide you inside."

"I understand. Thank you, Lord Akatos, for informing me. I will try my best to help you obtain relevant information about the beast master."

……

After leaving the Emerald Forest, Han Ning immediately began preparations to extract the blood of the Aratak people.

When setting off, the only spirit beasts accompanying him were four small ones including Yinyi and Egg Pancake.

When he returned to the academy, there was an exquisite, emerald-colored jade dragon beside him.

"Night demons... Shadow Reapers, there are many in the Misty Valley, and there is also a black spire that is suspected to be built by the Aratak people. There are two very rare soul beasts stored in it. Otherwise, go to the Misty Valley first. .”

In the dormitory, Han Ning sat on a chair, lost in thought.

The Misty Valley can only be regarded as the periphery of the Resentful Abyss. Influenced by the dark aura escaping from the abyss, it has become an area that can confuse the minds of living creatures and is populated by dark soul beasts.

Just the outside gave him a strong sense of danger. He didn't know how much danger there was in the real abyss.

If it weren't for Qing Yao accompanying him, he wouldn't have much confidence based on Egg Pancake's strength as he had just entered the lord level.

"Huh? The experimental soul beast made by the Arataks has the characteristics of darkness and undead. Isn't this a perfect fit for Feilin... Could it be that Feilin also has the blood of the Arataks in her body?"

Han Ning turned around and looked at Feilin, who was lying on the bed with her legs crossed, holding two identical egg pancakes in her arms, watching animation together, and her heart moved.

"Furthermore, Feilin's appearance, which is highly similar to humans, is also very consistent with the speculation that it has the blood of a higher intelligent creature..."

Speculation was speculation, and he finally decided to go to the misty valley and retrieve the two young soul beasts soaked in the special liquid from the black spire.

Moreover, there are a large number of Shadow Reapers living near the Black Spire, and you can also try to extract some blood by the way.

"That's it!" He clapped his hands.

After renovating in the academy for a day, Han Ning decided to set off.

"Brother Han Ning and Aunt Qingyao must come back safely!" "Hiss~"

When setting off, Niya hugged two emerald dragons who looked very similar and said goodbye to him with a look of reluctance.

After nearly a month of trimming, Niya's originally missing legs have been repaired to some extent, but they look unusually slender compared to her upper body. I wonder if she received Qing Yao's treatment, and the wrinkles on her face have also disappeared. She disappeared without a trace and returned to her original appearance of a delicate insect girl.

Her Yuling Damselfly was a blessing in disguise. After the war, she absorbed a large amount of extraordinary and warrior-level wood element crystals. With the help of Feiyun and others in the academy, she successfully evolved into Yimu Jiao.

Qing Yao has a deep connection with the Insek clan. As the only member of the Insek clan, Niya has deep feelings for Qing Yao.

As for the title of "aunt", Han Ning made up his own mind based on the context of insect language.

Calling Grandma Grandma too old, according to the information provided by Qing Fan, Qing Yao is still relatively young among the dragons. Not to mention the eldest daughter, she can also be regarded as a serious "royal sister" dragon.

In short, Qing Yao is a female dragon at the peak of her life.

"啷~"

Qing Yao, who was lying in Niya's arms, swayed slightly, flew to Han Ning's shoulder, and gave a sweet moan to Niya, signaling the little girl not to worry.

Han Ning likes to listen to Qingyao dragon's roar very much. Its cry is different from Akatos and Egg Pancake. If the latter's dragon roar has the richness and vigor unique to the dragon clan, then the former's roar is like Every note uttered by an elegant poet or singer makes people feel very comfortable, as if they are in nature, next to a clear flowing spring, surrounded by jingling bells.

"Niya, train your Yimu Jiao well. We will be back soon. When we come back, I will bring you a gift." Han Ning smiled and touched Niya's head.

"Niya doesn't want any gifts, as long as brother Han Ning and Aunt Qingyao come back safely, Niya, I don't want to lose my relatives anymore." Niya held Han Ning's big hand, and her eyes were as green as a lake, and she smiled. Full of tears.

"Yeah, I'll be careful."
