edge of pure land.

Chapter 364 Followers of the Candlelight Dragon

Amid the deafening sound of artillery fire, Ye Cheng swiftly shuttled through the exploding sand. His body was covered with a layer of ice armor as thin as a cicada's wing, which could help him resist the damage caused by the alchemical ammunition. At this time, he heard screams coming from all directions.

Screams mixed in with the gunfire.

It was obvious that his subordinates were already dealing with the militants around them.

These militants are from the Evolutionary Guild in Egypt. Their predecessor was an extremist organization active in the Sinai Peninsula in the late 20th century. They had planned and launched many terrorist attacks. They were religious fanatics and were once violently eliminated. After the new era began, this group of people plunged into the third site and established a new home.

No, it's more of plunder than building.

Originally living in the third site were a group of primitive remnants. They were the Copts who voluntarily entered the restricted area because of their religious beliefs five hundred years ago. They were the true descendants of ancient Egypt.

But the real rulers of the country of Egypt have always been the sacrificial group centered on the gods. Even during the periods of Hellenization and Roman rule, they have always remained highly active in secret, maintaining their social status and keeping their culture and bloodline pure.

As for those primitive remnants, they were nothing more than slaves or inferior people enslaved by them in ancient times, so naturally they would not care about them.

But the main reason why the Tianren Organization supports the armed forces in the restricted area to expel these primitive remnants is actually to seal the secret of the Meteorite Dragon Land.

These primitive survivors have lived in the restricted area for five hundred years. They can always find something from the local ancient ruins. The exploration into nature over the years has actually made them develop an extremely special religious belief, which is the worship of dragons.

You should know that there are no dragons in the strict sense in ancient Egyptian mythology.

To be more precise, there is no real Eastern dragon.

The primitive remnants in Egypt worshiped the Eastern Dragon?
It was obvious that they had touched upon the secrets of the Land of Falling Dragons.

In order to keep the secret, the Celestial Being organization had to expel them.

The best way is to support the armed forces in the restricted area.

After all, the Tianren organization does not operate in the restricted area all the time.

What was unexpected was that these armed forces supported by the Tianren organization would actually rebel. It turned out that people would do irrational things when they were extremely fearful. After these people were infected with the disease, they desperately wanted to find a way to treat it.

That's why they set their sights on the Tianren Organization.

boom.

An alchemical rocket fell, but was frozen into ice in mid-air by the pervasive cold fog and fell to the ground like a hard stone.

Ye Cheng followed up with a kick and crushed it, and a cone of ice shot out, killing a militant hiding behind the sand dune. The absolute low temperature froze him into an ice sculpture.

He raised his hands and created a huge ice shield, then rushed forward under the dense rain of bullets. The sound of bullets hitting the ice was so dense, like a rainstorm.

Deep in the sandstorm is a fortress built of huge stones, surrounded by tattered barbed wire and broken sandbags. Military facilities and large energy equipment can be seen everywhere.

The militants called for a gathering at the base.

Following Ye Cheng's order, the celestial beings rushed forward like ghosts, jumped into the hail of bullets, landed heavily behind the sand pile, and started killing.

There was no cover, yet he was unharmed.

Every fall of the celestial beings caused a huge explosion. The evolvers from the local armed forces were all terrified. It turned out that in front of absolute strength, all alchemical weapons seemed so ridiculous. The opponent only needed the purest violence to crush them.

The sun in the sky became exceptionally bright at some point, and golden rays crisscrossed the battlefield, in order to prevent sneak attacks from the White Walkers during the battle.

This is the simplified version of the Sun God Matrix.

"Ten o'clock direction, fifty-seven meters away, fire clearance completed."

"At seven o'clock, ninety-four meters away, heavy firepower spotted!"

"12 o'clock direction, 102 meters away, requesting support!"

The indifferent voices of the celestial beings rose and fell.

The militants hiding behind the bunkers sometimes couldn't even see the enemy's movements clearly. They were approached as soon as their eyes were blurred, and the barrel of the heavy machine gun was cut off by a knife, losing their firepower.

Then the dagger pierced their throats and blood gushed out.

"Request... support!"

Some militants fell in the sand and desperately called for their teammates.

There was no mercy in the eyes of the celestial beings. The resistance of these armed forces was like a gnat trying to shake a tree. They claimed to be the descendants of God and held enormous power inherited from ancient times. Naturally, they would not care about these tiny inferior people.

They can support this group of people.

They could kill this group of people too.

“Are these people crazy?”

A celestial being said calmly: "How dare you resist us."

"Who knows?"

Someone replied: "Maybe he's crazy."

They sped across the battlefield, charging through the air like wild bulls, using their brute force to knock down the piles of sandbags.

"Request to increase firepower coverage..."

The militants hiding behind the sandbags were turned into a bloody mist by the huge impact before they could finish their words, but fortunately their message had been delivered.

A green-painted alchemical rocket emerged from an artificial fortress, but before the operator could launch it, a celestial being stomped his feet heavily, and a violent shock wave hit like a tidal wave.

There was a bang.

The fort collapsed on the spot.

Ye Cheng exhaled a breath of cold air, and the temperature in the entire military base suddenly dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius. Thin layers of ice formed on the sand, and ice flowers bloomed.

"Target locked, kill them!"

A large number of militants appeared behind the dilapidated stone building, and they pointed heavy weapons at him and opened fire. Rockets flew through the air, but were frozen into ice in an instant.

"Are these people crazy?"

Ye Cheng couldn't understand it, but he soon found a clue, because he saw a dilapidated factory building built by humans. The house was full of some ancient witchcraft arrays inherited from Africa. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just an alchemical matrix with strong regional characteristics.

For example, the head of a baboon, the corpse of an eagle, the powder made from dried mice, etc.

In the eyes of an arrogant person like Ye Cheng, this kind of ancient witchcraft is actually quite ridiculous and crude. It is nothing more than some technology of the Tianren organization in ancient times that was leaked out and learned by the local indigenous people. Later, it developed into the so-called witchcraft.

The purpose of this kind of witchcraft is to drive away evil spirits.

The alchemical matrix in the factory was filled with thick corpses.

Yes, thick.

Using the word thick to describe a corpse is a very inappropriate word.

But those corpses were covered in thick dark matter, and they looked like something between humans and White Walkers. They were stuffed into steel furnaces and burned, emitting a fishy smell.

"The epidemic broke out so quickly? It looks like the product of a failed transformation. No wonder this group of people suddenly went crazy..." Ye Cheng knew very well that not long ago, the Tianren Organization had received their request to seek refuge in the safe haven, but the elders rejected it mercilessly.

The environment at the third site will become increasingly worse.

Resources will be scarce.

How can this group of people get their turn?
Ye Cheng looked at the stone building in the distance and suddenly let out a breath of cold air.

The cold wind howled like a giant dragon and suddenly engulfed the stone building.

The militants and their bunkers were frozen into ice sculptures.

Finally it collapsed.

The militants who heard the news were so frightened when they saw this scene that they turned around and fled to the deepest part of the base, and all of them took refuge in the basement.

Ye Cheng turned around and looked into the depths of the military base, where there were still traces left by the local primitive survivors, such as altars and sculptures used for sacrifices. There was also a dragon totem carved on the huge rock wall, which was weathered but still clearly visible.

The dragon's scales are engraved with intricate patterns.

That is an ancient writing.

Ye Cheng recognized that kind of ancient characters.

Translated into modern Chinese, it is just one word.

烛！
Few people know that there was once a dragon legend in Africa. The indigenous people in the desert once witnessed such a miracle with their own eyes and carved that great scene on ancient stone slabs, which were passed down from generation to generation.

In the early 19th century, Napoleon of France led an expeditionary force to Egypt. It is said that they wandered along the banks of the Nile for a long time, built a lot of fortifications, and finally returned without success. Some local indigenous people said that the emperor was actually very curious about dragons and once coveted the power of dragons. For this reason, he collected various books and searched all over Europe but found nothing, and finally came to Africa.

But the most legends about dragons are still in the East.

Napoleon's ultimate goal was also in the East. He even once said: "I see that if I stay here, I will lose myself; everything here is in ruins, and my glory has disappeared. Small Europe is not enough for me to digest, I will go to the East to find my fountain of glory."

As for why I didn't go to the East in the end, there are many reasons.

One is that the distance is too far and it is really impossible to hit it.

The second is that the extraordinary civilization in the East has always been very powerful.

It is obvious that Napoleon is most likely also an evolver. Although the period of his rise was a period of change when the Celestial Organization lost control of the world, he may have inherited some heritage from ancient times, thus rising with unstoppable momentum.

But few people know that Napoleon once collected a painting.

The painting was copied from ancient books on both sides of the Nile.

The name of the painting is "Candle Day".

It is said that in the painting, the dim sky at sunset was illuminated by candlelight, the flowing evening clouds were burning like flames, the sandstorm in the desert suddenly became violent, a huge jagged skeleton spanned the ruined ancient city, and the ground was littered with charred corpses.

The indigenous people in the desert describe that when the burning wind blows, dragon- and snake-like stripes will appear in the desert, guiding you to the place where the gods sleep.

If this painting is real, then there is actually an undiscovered relic deep in the desert, and that is the legendary place where the falling dragon appeared.

Of course, the Celestial Being organization knows the truth.

But that secret has not been touched over the years.

Just at this moment, the people of Fengsha had all ended their respective battles and walked over, swinging blood-stained daggers. They were all the world's top elites, mastering the oldest evolutionary system, and it was too easy for them to deal with this group of inferior militants.

"First, we must confirm the life or death of Elder Sada, and secondly, eliminate all the armed forces here. If nothing unexpected happens, the armed forces should have controlled some local primitive survivors. When you find them later, remember to keep them alive. We will need their help when we enter the Land of Meteorite Dragons." Ye Cheng raised his head with a huge ice shield on his head, his eyes passing through the wind and sand.

He paused and said, "Miss Xia Zhu also needs the cooperation of those survivors."

"clear."

The celestial beings murmured in response.

Ye Cheng picked up the retro communicator and whispered, "Fang Pu, I have cleared out the militants in the military base. Bring Miss Xia Zhu here in ten minutes. It will be sunset soon. According to the descriptions in Norse and Eastern mythology, the Candle Day Dragon always wakes up at sunset, which is the moment when light and darkness alternate."

He paused and said, "Get your equipment ready and locate the direction of the dimension."

Fang Pu's voice came from the intercom: "Understood."

"I'm going to look for Elder Sadar, and someone will pick you up."

Ye Cheng continued to attack deep into the military base with a stern face.

In the ruins outside the base, Fang Pu waved his hand to signal the team to follow.

Ichigo Furukawa came over with his butler, and their subordinates were all carrying heavy equipment boxes, which were the latest dark matter detectors produced by the military.

This could help them locate the Dark Essence of the Candle Day Dragon.

"Is it going so well?"

Xia Zhu lowered the brim of his hat, and his face behind his sunglasses showed no expression. Some people had already walked out from the wind and sand. They dealt with the armed elements who were ambushing all around and came to greet the team.

But no one noticed that some of these celestial beings had slightly stiff faces and expressionless faces that looked extremely weird. It was as if they felt their ears were a little itchy, so they stretched out their fingers and dug into their ear holes, pretending nothing had happened.

The ear hole that looked normal was actually crawling with rotten maggots.

Xia Zhu's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The eyes under the brim of the hat looked at them deeply.

His right hand pressed the revolver at his waist.

·
·
"Ouch!"

Someone's strange cry was heard in the wind and sand.

The burly and ferocious golden war god pulled a rotten corpse out of the sand, and thick dark matter suddenly gushed out, pouring all over it like mud and completely devouring it.

"Detected from the Corrupted Death God..."

By the time the dark matter was recovered into the body, the corpse had completely disappeared.

"It's so fucking exciting, this is not a restricted area for life, it's simply a buffet restaurant, it's so cool!" The burly God of War spoke in human language, his hoarse voice carried the clarity of a teenager, and a sense of excitement between perversion and insanity.

The Land of Rebirth is a super large ecosystem. The only creatures that can survive here, besides the Evolved, are the White Walkers and the Aliens.

There are many different species.

Like the lizards and snakes that shuttle through the desert, or the poisonous scorpions and centipedes.

Of course there are also monitor lizards, falcons, etc.

They have all mutated into deformities.

Of course there are also cuter ones like the Egyptian Mau.

But one bite can bite your head off.

The God of War controlled by Lu Buer is rampant in the Land of the Afterlife. He has no interest in those mutated species. He only wants to hunt down the White Walkers at the top of the food chain.

For some unknown reason, he has not encountered any wild gods so far.

But it devoured a large number of Overlord-level White Walkers along the way.

At this moment, due to eating a large amount, his dark matter has expanded to the extreme, and he is only one tenth away from completing the final evolution and becoming the top overlord of the sixth stage.

However, in the desert, a bleak wind blew.

The God of War looked around and there was no sign of life.

The aliens had already fled when they sensed the arrival of higher life forms.

As for the White Walkers in this area...

He has already eaten it all.

"It's gone? It's gone now?"

The burly God of War stood there in a daze.

Reproduce quickly and stay awake at night!

The Golden God of War flapped his wings and flew in the desert like a fallen angel in mythology. His lightning speed was like the Gundam in the anime, with sparks and lightning all the way.

Ever since the Corrupted Death judged the evolvers of the third site in the name of human bodies, the environment of this desert has become weird again. The originally chaotic ecological environment suddenly has rules, and the White Walkers often appear in groups.

The God of War once saw a large number of White Walkers gathering together. The scene was as majestic as the infected bodies in zombie movies, but they did not hunt collectively like an army. Instead, they hugged each other, strangled and bit each other, and devoured each other's dark matter to complete their evolution.

A few days ago, there were many expedition teams that had not had time to evacuate the restricted area. They were almost terrified when they saw that scene, because a terrifying overlord-level White Walker was about to be born.

Then there is no more.

Because even more terrifying gods and demons descended from the sky, dismembered the fifth-stage zombie in an extremely brutal manner, and then disappeared in the wind and sand with a step that showed no regard for any relatives.

The expedition team did not feel fortunate, but fainted on the spot.

Because they discovered that the terrifying god and devil could actually hum a song...

"I am a master of the world, and I am admired by everyone..."

When the God of War left, he also observed the situation in the restricted area.

The most discussed topic among the evolvers was the epidemic spreading in the restricted area.

Some people think that is nonsense.

Some people also believe that it was a threat from the so-called gods.

Many people have already felt physical discomfort, but they have not been able to find out the cause for a while. They just feel inexplicable panic and mental abnormalities.

The evolvers in the major gathering places also began to fall ill one after another.

Fortunately, the Human Overwatch Force has officially moved into major gathering places, which gives the evolvers enough sense of security. The military's technology and strength are the best guarantee.

In addition, strange phenomena occurred in the restricted area.

That is, someone encountered a White Walker from the evolutionary chain of the God of Origin in the restricted area.

This is very strange, just like when Pokémon players encounter Kyogre in a volcano, or find a swimming Groudon on the seabed. The White Walkers in the evolutionary chain of the God of Origin were only recently confirmed.

Suddenly, he crossed the ocean and came to Egypt.

And they are wild White Walkers.

What? The White Walkers can also sneak across the border?
Little did they know that this was deliberately released by Lu Buer. In just a few days, some White Walkers in the evolutionary chain of the God of Origin had grown up. Although the individuals witnessed were still quite weak, they would always be able to evolve into overlords given enough time.

“At present, I don’t know what will happen to the White Walkers in the evolutionary chain of the God of Corruption and Death after they devour the White Walkers in the evolutionary chain of the God of Origin. In fact, I can directly let the God of War be devoured by a certain God of the Wilderness, and then see what the effect is.” Lu Buer controlled the God of War to search in the desert. When he couldn’t spawn any monsters in the wild, he had already begun to consider how to commit suicide.

Even he himself felt a little crazy.

"These evolvers evacuated quickly. I also want to see if there is anyone with better talent in alien magic, so that I can let him experience the great creation ceremony..."

Today, the God of War saw no traces of the evolvers in the desert. It seemed that they had all realized that the epidemic had begun to spread among the people, and they were no longer struggling for wealth or power. Instead, they hurried to the border of the restricted area, wanting to leave this place of trouble.

"Well, we can't forget the important things."

The God of War whispered softly: "The bad woman's senior sister..."

At the end of the endless sandstorm are desolate ancient ruins. The aircraft hidden in the sandstorm showed a vague outline, which was only visible because of the sand hitting the cabin.

The God of War folded his wings and landed in front of the aircraft. The footprints here had long been covered by wind and sand, but in the state of a White Walker, his five senses were very sharp and he could move forward by smelling the smell.

He shuttled through the desolate ancient ruins as the sun sank in the sky.

Even under the overlord-level pressure, he did not encounter any attacks.

Just after walking one kilometer, he suddenly stopped.

Because the seed of God began to throb again.

There came a long-awaited, strong reaction.

Even the God of War felt palpitations.

That feeling can even be transmitted to the original body.

"what?"

The God of War broke through the air like a flash of lightning.

When he arrived at the bomb-torn battlefield, the wind and sand were filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and flames were burning on the corpses, and the burnt smell was nauseating.

It was obvious that this was a military base, controlled by militants from a certain force. The ground was littered with broken corpses, and of course there were bomb fragments and shell casings rolling in the wind. The traces of fighting were obvious at a glance, but the surroundings were eerily silent.

Someone had just experienced a fierce battle here not long ago.

Lu Buer smelled the scent of perfume.

Hmm, a familiar perfume smell.

Members of the Celestial Being organization are not worthy of perfume.

But there is one person who will.

That person was Xia Zhu, who came as a specially hired expert. Her perfume was not strong or pungent, but rather a very natural gardenia scent, pure and rich.

Just at this moment, the God of War suddenly turned his head.

Because the Seed of God was moving again.

It's not the throbbing feeling I had before.

It's the desire to hunt.

The God of War strode forward and came to a collapsed stone house. A human hand stretched out from the dusty rubble and waved helplessly.

"help..."

The man spoke English.

The God of War pushed aside the pile of rubble.

At this moment, the person in the rubble pile struggled in pain, looking like he was seriously injured. He rolled down like a rag bag and fell headfirst into the sand.

"Are you okay? What happened here?"

The God of War squatted down and asked in a hoarse voice.

That is at this moment.

The sandstorm suddenly became violent.

The victim suddenly raised his head, grabbed his throat with lightning speed, and smiled strangely: "Your body... is very good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Because the one in front of him was not a human being at all.

But it is a burly and ferocious angel of power.

"Power Angel?"

The disguised victim was stunned.

This is an Arab man, his face was tanned by the sun, but his eyes were a strange pure black, as if his eyeballs had been removed and only the eye sockets were left.

His body was covered with corpse spots and his ears were crawling with disgusting maggots.

"did not expect?"

The God of War knew early on that there were White Walkers in the rubble, but he didn't expect to see a human after pushing the stones away. It was obviously a weird complex.

Not like a human being.

It's not just a White Walker either.

This is just like the crazy corpse-eating cultists that Lu Buer saw when he was on a mission in the Linhai Military District half a year ago. Their bodies were infected with dark matter.

That's probably what it feels like.

Lu Buer had once witnessed with his own eyes a second-level thorn ghost prying open the mouth of an evolver, pouring rich dark matter directly into him, and taking away his body.

It was at that time that Lu Buer realized how terrifying dark matter was.

This thing can parasitize in the human body.

But the monster in front of him was obviously different. He seemed to retain a high level of intelligence, with a large amount of dark matter flowing in his body, giving people the feeling that he was a mutilated human body!

Disease!

This is the person infected with the plague!

Thick corpse fluid flowed out of the monster's right hand.

However, the corpse fluid did not cause any harm to the God of War.

This is the power of the immortal body.

The most powerful super tank in the world.

There was a hint of confusion in the monster's eyes. The other party was obviously of the same species, but he could feel the fluctuations of human consciousness. Even if the White Walkers in this evolutionary chain had immortal authority, they should not have such powerful defensive capabilities at the current stage.

This already involves the concept of immortality.

It's like the strange magic that only the best humans possess!
"That's it?"

The God of War made a hoarse and cold voice, grabbed his head and released lightning.

Amid the sound of thousands of birds chirping, the monster was suddenly burned into a charred corpse.

The God of War released a rich dark substance and swallowed it up again!

When the power of the dark matter merged into his body, he made a sour sound again, and was secretly shocked: "The White Walkers this time seem to be different. They are highly intelligent and can tell at a glance that I am a power angel. Those who have such insight should be ancient species!"

Ancient species of White Walkers have the ability to think.

Extremely rare among White Walkers.

"It seems that this military base has been infected by the disease."

The God of War exhaled a breath of foul air, reached into the charred corpse, broke off a bone to use as a weapon, and strode into the military base with full concentration.

At present, it seems that the evolvers infected with the disease are extremely dangerous. No one knows when the dark matter in these people's bodies will condense into White Walkers and usurp their bodies.

If you don't observe the changes in their appearance carefully, it would be difficult to even notice their changes.

If Lu Buer did not have the seed of a god, it would be difficult to predict in advance.

Fortunately, the evolver who was infected with the disease was not very strong, and the dark matter could not grow to a very strong level in his body, so he could be crushed to death with ease.

But it would be a different situation if it parasitized the body of a powerful evolver.

"The methods of the corrupt god of death are indeed terrible. If this epidemic is really like this, then it will be really difficult to control it. I can't imagine what a tragic price the ancient Egyptian gods paid to end that disaster of life..." The God of War looked around the silent military base. Now he could only hope that some of those celestial beings were still alive.

He sniffed the lingering scent of living people in the air and chased deeper into the base.

It was almost dusk, the twilight was falling in strands, and the sand was swirling in the wind.

Suddenly, Lu Buer felt a familiar breath.

A violent, harsh, hot breath.

At this moment, Lu Buer seemed to have returned to the underground block of Linhai City. He saw the fire burning in the old low-rise building and heard the cold and hard voice of a man in his ears.

"Burn the sky, one style."

·
·
The dark underground tunnel was suddenly illuminated by a flash of fire. In the silence, the girl's indifferent voice sounded, like a judgment: "Burn the sky, one style."

boom.

It was clearly a gunshot, but it also sounded like the roar of a dragon.

The celestial beings burned in the flames, like evil spirits surging in a sulfur hell. In an instant they were burned to ashes and annihilated in the void.

Xia Zhu put down the revolver in his hand, picked up the heavy equipment box in his other hand, turned around and said, "All of you hide behind me and don't contact anyone."

The housekeeper was terrified.

Furukawa Ichigo's face was also very pale, and he said softly: "Miss, these are all members of the Celestial Being Organization. Can we really kill them like this?"

Not long ago, Miss Fang Pu escorted them to the depths of the military base in order to search for some relics left behind by the local primitive survivors.

But just as they were about to pass through the barbed wire of the military base, Xia Zhu suddenly secretly performed a spell, using a sudden burst of fire to disperse the team.

Then, in the chaos, he casually killed two celestial beings who wanted to rush over to protect them, and ran all the way to an underground secret passage deep in the base, and then the scene before his eyes happened.

This left the housekeeper and the others dumbfounded.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this young lady.

You take the money given by others and kill their people.

Is this reasonable?

"Don't ask. Even if I tell you, you won't believe it. Even if you see it with your own eyes, you won't understand it. You can't sense the dark matter, so your reaction will always be a step slower." Xia Zhu tore open a pack of chewing gum and put it in his mouth to chew. He waved his hand to wipe away the burnt smell in the air, feeling a little unhappy.

"This fire-type numerology really stinks when it burns people."

She waved her hand and said calmly, "Follow me, don't leave me ten meters. If you are beyond ten meters, I can't protect you. Remember, even when I am unconscious, you can't leave me ten meters away, otherwise you will be infected by the disease."

When Xia Zhu turned around, the people behind her could clearly see the red and hot spine under her jacket, which looked like a hideous dragon bone, eerie and terrifying.

This is the Burning Sky Bone.

One of the top alien magic in the world.

Possessing the power to burn the sky.

Ichigo Furukawa was well aware of the young lady's strength, and under normal circumstances she did not need their protection at all.

On the contrary, they need to be protected here.

But the problem is that the lady is not normal.

Once Xia Zhu overdraws his strength, he will fall into a coma.

This is similar to Mr. Longque's situation back then, but also different. Her fate did not collapse due to external forces, but because of her own rampage that she could not control.

It's like an overheated machine.

Once overloaded, the system will crash.

Logically speaking, with Xia Zhu's status and strength, she could have hired some more powerful people, but she chose them, her closer and more trusted partners.

"Understood!"

Ichigo Furukawa and his butler followed closely behind the girl.

"Although the Tianren Organization gave us a commission, we also have our own purpose. Don't trust those old guys, they are hiding something behind our backs. Before the new era, the Xia family had contact with them many times. A few times, I saw them from afar in the hospital. At that time, my second aunt told me that this group of people were not good people judging by their appearance."

Xia Zhu's fingertips lit up with fire as he walked forward in the dark corridor. "According to ancient records, the local indigenous people have a fanatical worship of the Candle Day Dragon. They built a huge underground space here to worship the giant dragon from the mythological era."

She paused and said, "And it's a human sacrifice."

For Ichigo Furukawa and others who lived in the new era, the feudal custom of human sacrifice was simply unthinkable. After all, under the strict control of the Supreme Federation and the Akasha Holy Church, alchemy had been strictly controlled, and those black magic and black witchcraft had not appeared for many years.

No one noticed that when Xia Zhu said this, there was a flash of guilt and complexity in his eyes, as well as a fleeting disgust, and he was even a little speechless.

This underground ruins looks very old. The mottled walls are about to fall off, and the murals that were once carved on the walls are so damaged that they are difficult to decipher. These things are actually major discoveries that can shake the archaeological world. It is a pity that no one can restore them.

Theoretically, Xia Zhu had never been here, but when she saw the murals on the wall, she was a little dazed. A trace of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Miss, why did the natives of ancient Egypt believe in dragons?"

Ichigo Furukawa raised this question: "Is it just because the Dragon of the Daylight once appeared here? But that god is the embodiment of destruction, why is he loved by people?"

"So many questions, don't you know that curiosity kills the cat?"

Xia Zhu rolled his eyes and spoke in a tone as if he had eaten chili peppers, but he gave an unexpected explanation: "First of all, although Zhu Zhou Dragon is known as the incarnation of destruction, that is caused by His own authority, just like a kitten does not know that its claws can scratch people. There are some things that He cannot control, do you understand?"

Furukawa Ichigo was silent for a second: "I don't understand."

In their understanding, gods are enemies.

God is the symbol of destruction.

Who cares whether they mean it or not?
"So you should just play with your samurai sword."

Xia Zhu was silent for a second, her pretty face under the sunglasses showed no expression: "Gods are not something you can understand. In my opinion, they are just cursed lives. You may not have read the information of the Tianren Organization... Zhu Zhou Dragon, who came to this land, was actually just a poor woman. She didn't have any chance to choose."

Furukawa Ichigo didn't understand at all, so he asked, "So, Miss, why did we come to this mess? Although your purpose is to cure the disease... but with your ability, you can wait until this disaster is over and reap the benefits. The Corrupted Death God is already extremely terrifying, not to mention that the Candle Day Dragon is also involved here!"

Xia Zhu glared at him and said, "You are talking too much nonsense. Don't worry. As long as the Zhu Day Dragon really wakes up, I will be able to sense it in advance. I have the bones of the Burning Sky. As for sitting back and reaping the benefits, you are dreaming. If this epidemic is not properly resolved, you will die no matter where you escape to. Since you decided to leave the Xia family and follow me, I will protect you. I will find a way to make you all master powerful alien magic as much as possible."

She paused for a moment and said faintly, "I can protect you now, but I can't say for sure about the future. As long as you all become stronger, no matter what happens to me, you will be able to protect yourselves in this world, and I can rest assured."

The housekeeper was a little moved when he heard this: "Miss, you can't say such things!"

Ichigo Furukawa said in a deep voice: "If you are gone, we will go with you!"

"Pedantism."

Xia Zhu curled her lips and said, "Actually, I came here because I still have something I want to figure out. If I don't figure that thing out, I don't know what choice I should make in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression became strange.

"It seems like something strange has broken in."

Xia Zhu raised his head and looked at the darkness above him, muttering softly.
