Chapter 251
Dijiang, Phoenix, Nine-tailed Fox, Kirin—
Su Quan admired the mythical beasts from legends as he passed through grasslands and bamboo forests, finally seeing the village of Taro Village and the villagers gathered to welcome them.
The number of villagers was much smaller than Su Quan had expected; at a rough glance, there were only about a hundred people.
There were men and women, young and old.
The clothing is mainly yellow, blue, and red robes. Most men have short hair, and occasionally some are bald; women either have long hair that is draped over their shoulders or tied up in a high bun.
Their simple, unadorned faces were filled with curiosity and scrutiny towards Su Quan.
Oh, and there are several huge Stone Lion standing near the villagers, looking a bit like domesticated hunting dogs.
However, it is larger and stronger.
In the movie, whether it's dealing with the Ten Rings Gang of Wenwu or the Dark Residents of the Soul-Eating Beasts, Stone Lion fights alongside the villagers, making him an invaluable ally.
Stone Lion, also known as Fu Shi, are legendary guardian beasts.
"Uncle Guang..."
Ying Li and Ying Nan, standing on either side of him, greeted Uncle Guang, who was leading the villagers.
It is worth mentioning that Uncle Guang and others carried Melee Weapons, mainly sticks and bows.
These Melee Weapons should be made of dragon scales, and the clothes that Uncle Guang and the others are wearing should also be made of dragon scales!
The villagers already knew about Su Quan's communication with the dragon, his desire to completely eliminate the Soul Eater.
There was no objection to Uncle Guang's earlier decision that if Su Quan could completely eliminate the Soul Eater, the entire village would recognize him as their master.
The only question is whether Su Quan can actually do it!
"What are you planning to do? Let me make this clear first: we will absolutely not allow you to release the Soul Eater unless we are absolutely certain," Uncle Guang said cautiously and resolutely.
Su Quan understood. They had guarded the Soul Eater, a monster capable of destroying the world, for thousands of years. Naturally, they wouldn't release the Soul Eater from the seal of the Dark Door just because someone came and said they could destroy Soul Eater.
If they were really that straightforward, Taro Village would have been wiped out countless times.
"I will not break the seal of the Dark Door," Su Quan said.
Uncle Guang frowned and said, "If you don't break the seal, how will you deal with the Soul Eater?"
"I will enter the seal of the Dark Door and deal with the Soul Eater from inside, so you won't have to worry about the Soul Eater being released and the situation becoming uncontrollable."
"Enter the Dark Door Portal without breaking the seal? That... that's certainly foolproof, but can you really do it?"
"You'll find out soon enough whether it's possible or not."
Su Quan smiled and looked at the arrow basket on the back of a person nearby and the red Dragon Scale Bow in his hand.
"My archery skills are pretty good."
Uncle Guang understood and nodded to the side.
Someone quickly ran away from the crowd, and a moment later, that person returned with a brand-new Dragon Scale Bow and arrows, which he handed to Su Quan.
Su Quan took it, felt it for a moment, and nodded slightly.
The bow and arrow made of dragon scales are indeed extraordinary. Not to mention their sturdiness, they also faintly retain the special Dragon Power.
Or rather, the aura of a divine dragon.
It is this aura that allows the Dragonscale equipment to harm Soul Eater and Dark Residents.
Su Quan even thought that the Dragon Scale equipment should be able to harm those beings, whether they have a physical form or not, such as souls or dark creatures.
Su Quan thought he could farm some dragon scale equipment later, especially Dragon Scale Bow, which would be useful for archers like Shado and Thea next door.
At least this can be considered a magic-breaking arrow, right? In the future, when we encounter ghosts or demons, we won't be helpless and just staring blankly!
After all, this is a divine artifact made from genuine dragon scales; it would be a disservice to the system's nesting doll function not to give them a few sets.
"I'll go talk to Shenlong first."
With the Dragon Scale Bow on his back, Su Quan floated into the air, passing over the villagers of Taro Village and their homes, and arrived above the nearby lake.
"Buzz!"
The Psychic Abilities was activated, Mind Sensing instantly made a connection to a creature deep at the bottom of the lake.
"You have my presence in your body, but you are not from here."
An ancient and sacred aura appeared in Su Quan's Mind Stone. It did not speak human language, but Mind Sensing could translate its meaning into language and make it known to him.
Simply put, the ability of Mind Sensing is more like a translator, capable of translating the 'thoughts' of different languages and different organisms into languages or meanings that humans can understand.
"My name is Su Quan, and I am the Lord of the Void at the End of the Timeline."
"I have come to destroy the Soul Eater and save the Taro Village. Will you help me?"
Similarly, Su Quan's meaning was translated into something that the dragon could understand.
"What do you want?" the dragon asked.
"You!"
"You stay here to protect the Ta Lo and the outside world. Once I destroy the Soul Eater, you won't need to stay here anymore."
"Follow me, and see the world outside, would you like?"
The phoenix, Kirin, and Nine-tailed Fox mentioned earlier are rare mythical beasts, but they are quite numerous in the Ta Lo.
But there is only one dragon!
Moreover, while other mythical beasts each possess their own mysteries, none can compare to the dragon, which can both control water and bestow extraordinary Dragon Power upon others.
Not to mention, its shed dragon scales can be made into divine artifacts.
More importantly, the dragon is big enough and cool enough.
Taming a divine dragon and using it as a mount is definitely more impressive and classier than using a phoenix or a qilin as Kirin.
This is a divine dragon that can soar to the heavens and plunge into the seas, and there is nothing it cannot do!
"I do!" the dragon replied.
Su Quan was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wide smile.
Then, with a loud boom, the lake water surged, and a huge Eastern Divine Dragon emerged from the lake.
Its long body emerged from the lake, and its huge head roared as it charged toward Su Quan. When its body completely left the lake, the villagers of Taro Village were stunned.
Although it wasn't their first time seeing the dragon, the sight of it emerging from the sea each time still left them feeling awe and wonder.
Not to mention them, even Su Quan, who was somewhat prepared, was shocked at this moment.
What you see in the movie is completely different from what you see with your own eyes; the shock is so great that any words that try to describe it become utterly inadequate.
Su Quan suddenly lost his strength and fell straight down.
At the same time, the dragon moved.
"Bang."
Su Quan landed on the dragon's head; even one of its whiskers was longer than Su Quan.
The dragon soars across the four seas and roams the nine heavens.
The dragon carried Su Quan through a series of tumultuous events before finally propelling him toward the Dark Door atop a distant cliff.
This is a giant circular gate, almost as tall as the mountain, which, from a distance, looks like a huge black sun.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this Dark Door gate was actually composed of countless smaller doors, which fit together seamlessly. At first glance, this arrangement was remarkably similar to the scales on a dragon's body, covering it piece by piece.
The dragon pressed its head against the cliff platform in front of the Dark Door. Su Quan leaped down, turned around, and patted the dragon.
"Wait for me."
The dragon let out a roar and hovered on the cliff where the Dark Door was located, seemingly waiting for Su Quan to come out.
The connection through Mind Sensing remains; the person and the dragon can be considered to be in a state of Mind Stone communion.
Arriving at the Dark Door, Su Quan adjusted his physical density and stepped inside.
"Um?"
As Su Quan lifted his foot, he found himself blocked.
Under normal circumstances, when Su Quan uses this ability, he will achieve a state of etherealization, similar to Vision or Martian Manhunter.
In this state, his body is essentially non-existent; attacks cannot hit him, and no buildings or objects can stop him.
But now, he was blocked by a very peculiar energy from the Dark Door.
"A seal... that makes sense, because the Soul Eater and its Dark Residents also have similar abilities. If it can't even prevent this, then what kind of seal is it?"
The initial setback wasn't enough to discourage Su Quan; he still had several other ways to enter without breaking the seal.
In simpler terms, he can Dimensional Teleportation directly into that dimension.
In more complex cases, he can use his Cisco Ramon ability to sense the situation inside the seal and then use the Cisco Ramon to teleport inside.
Technically, he can use Speed Force to directly transmit high-speed vibrations.
In short, one failure is nothing. Su Quan only considered it for a moment before using Dimensional Teleportation to bypass the seal and arrive inside the Dark Door.
