Chapter 155 Heavy Moonlight
Teutonic Dragon Rider? ! !
I didn't expect that the dragon skin scroll in Ethan's hand actually recorded a hidden profession.
It was the legendary dragon rider.
Ethan excitedly turned to the first page.
What came into view was a map with various reference objects clearly marked on it, including the Dragon Valley where Ethan was.
Good stuff.
On the map, the location of the Dragon Valley was marked with "Dragon Birth Place".
The place where dragons were born.
Ethan turned the dragon skin scroll with relish and read it silently.
The owner of this dragon skin scroll was Spencer, the only Teutonic Dragon Rider in the Teutonic Empire, and also a legendary figure.
He was once the best sub-dragon rider in the empire, but in a dragon-slaying battle, his mount Tyrannosaurus was killed by a real dragon.
Spencer, who lost his best friend, actually broke into the dragon cave alone and lurked, secretly observing the living habits of the dragon, from the hatching, growth, evolution to the death of the dragon, recording them one by one, and stole a dragon egg.
Several years later, the first dragon knight in the history of the empire was born, and he became the patron saint of the entire country.
His life was brilliant and dazzling, creating myths, but when he was old, he chose to return to the Dragon Valley with his dragon, its birthplace.
The original words on the dragon skin scroll were: In the first half of my life, you helped me conquer the world, and in the second half of my life, I will accompany you to the end of the world.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Nothing is impossible between humans and beasts.
But when he really came to the Dragon Valley, he found that the dragon clan was facing a huge crisis.
Dragon eggs need a certain high temperature to hatch successfully. The Dragon Valley is like spring all year round, and the climate is hot and humid. The most important thing is that there was originally a huge crater in the center of the Dragon Valley.
Legend has it that after the death of the dragon ancestor dragon, the fire sac on his body was transformed, and the fire sac was the root of the dragon clan's ability to spit fire.
For thousands of years, the dragon clan has gradually adapted to the method of using the high temperature of this crater to hatch dragon eggs, but no one expected... the volcano went out.
Seeing this scene, Spencer's mount was anxious, and even his own but could not be hatched, and the dragon clan was facing extinction.
At this time, Spencer stood up.
He wants to save the dragons.
After his many explorations, although he did not find a suitable volcano, he found a high-temperature hot spring not far from the Dragon Valley.
This hot spring is hot all year round and it is hot to the touch. It is obviously impossible to hatch dragon eggs.
So Spencer diverted the waterfall water of the Dragon Valley here, and with the help of the special terrain, let the spring water and snow water converge here, maintaining a certain temperature range to reach the level of hatching dragon eggs.
So there was the scene that Ethan saw, the dragon eggs were thrown into the river and floated down the river.
And the wide corridor that Ethan saw in front of him was marked with "Dragon Soaring Land".
Mostly it is a place for young dragons to soar, and there must be dragons guarding there.
But this dragon skin scroll also pointed out the problem of this hatching method.
As a highly intelligent creature, dragons have a special blood inheritance, and the next generation can get the blood memory of the previous generation.
This hot spring hatching seems to lack a certain ritual, which to a certain extent causes the loss of the dragon blood memory inheritance.
This reminds Ethan of the blood sacrifice of ten thousand dragons just now. Is it related to this ritual?
Or maybe it has something to do with the hatching method?
Ethan spread out the map and continued to look for a route out, but accidentally found a small path to the north of Dragon Valley, which led to the place where the Dragon Valley waterfall flowed down, and it was written on it, "Land of Silence".
Land of Silence.
Could it be the place where the dragons died?
The dragons are a very greedy race. They have been collecting treasures all their lives, so there are many stories circulating on the continent about warriors slaying dragons and looking for treasures.
But they don't know that when the dragons sense that they are about to die, they will go to the "Returning Land" inherited by the dragons to find the possibility of evolution.
Once the evolution is successful, the dragon will return to its nest and continue to live, but if it fails, this place will become the end of the dragon.
And this Land of Silence on the Dragon Skin Scroll should be the end of the dragons' search for evolution.
Ethan thought of the Dawn of the World Atlas, perhaps he could find a suitable dragon bone from this Land of Silence.
Thinking of this, Ethan packed his bag, bowed three times in front of the cave entrance on the cliff, and resolutely climbed up along the markings on the dragon skin scroll.
This road is built along the ridge. Standing on it, you are surrounded by the air, and it is shaky. Even a flying bird cannot be seen.
The most important thing is that this path is covered with a layer of moss on the surface, which is quite slippery and extremely narrow. It can only accommodate one person, which is very unfriendly to Ethan who carries a coffin on his back and a dragon egg hanging on his waist.
Ethan almost fell off the cliff several times. If he hadn't learned the ray meditation method and instantly emitted steel wire rays and hung on the cliff, he might have been buried in the abyss.
Ethan climbed along the ridge, only to feel that the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the sky was getting later and later.
Finally, before the three suns set, he finally arrived at the destination of this trip-the Land of Silence.
The sun sets and the moon rises. Although there are three suns in this world but only one moon, this moon is big and round, occupying half of the sky, as if it is on his head.
With the moonlight, Ethan entered the Land of Silence.
This is a spiral tower.
Green will-o'-the-wisp flames were floating around here. Ordinary people would be scared away, but Ethan knew that these will-o'-the-wisp flames were made from the phosphine released from the decaying bones of the dragons.
Take out the arm shield inlaid with lighting crystals from the space, observe everything in front of you, the ground is full of corpses, some of which have even weathered.
But from the corpses, these corpses are some sub-dragon species, relatively speaking, the dragon blood is thin, so the success rate of evolution is poor.
At this time, the moon is at its zenith, and the bright moonlight falls from the top of the tower, and it is cool.
Ethan stepped on the steps.
"Buzz~"
The brain seemed to be smashed by a blender, suddenly became chaotic, and then returned to normal in an instant.
But his hands and feet became much heavier.
The moonlight was like a knife, and it seemed to have weight when it fell on Ethan's body. Ethan walked forward with the weight, slightly aware of it, but didn't care.
As Ethan went deeper and deeper, the level of dragon corpses that appeared began to increase, and at the same time, the degree of dragon corpses preserved became higher and higher.
Ethan looked at the more lively dragons around him, and he was a little uneasy.
The higher he went, the heavier the weight on Ethan's body became.
Slowly, even he felt tired.
At this time, the dragon corpses around him have already taken on the appearance of giant dragons, and they are still lifelike even after death.
The deep gullies on the walls of the tower show the despair of these giant dragons after their evolution failed.
"Pah~"
I don't know when Ethan's steps became slower and slower.
He took two or three breaths to take a step, and began to sweat slightly.
Ethan couldn't even remember the last time he sweated so much.
The higher he went, the closer he was to the moon, and the greater the pressure on his body.
This heavy moonlight was like a substance, like a mountain covering his head.
