The Fledgling Dragon, Untested by the World, Searches for Dragon Eggs
[He had dragon horns on his head, and a subtle resonance emanated from his body.]
This is the first time you've met someone like yourself!
[You hesitated slightly, a thought flickered in your mind, and the dragon horns that had been hidden by the power of your Law Artifact reappeared on your forehead.]
Whether I am a true True Dragon or not, I do not know, but I am indeed Dragon Clan.
You nod and cautiously ask, "Where is this place?"
[The young Dragon Clan in Green Robe shook his head, his eyes clear and honest: "I don't know. I just wandered in and ended up here."]
"And you? How did you get in?"
"I'm a bit like you, except something was calling me, so I came," you said truthfully.
"I see." He nodded thoughtfully, seemingly unsurprised. Then, he casually pointed in a certain direction deep within the Secret Realm. "Is it over there that's calling you?"
A chill ran through you; he felt the same way!
"You too?" you couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." The Green Robe Youth nodded, his expression calm. "I have the same feeling. From the moment I came in, a voice has been guiding me."
He took the first step, walking briskly in that direction, as if he had little fear of this unfamiliar and Secret Realm.
[Watching his retreating figure, a surge of surprise and joy welled up inside you.]
[What's astonishing is that there are others like myself in such a similar situation; what's delightful is that if there truly are companions, they can look after each other in this unknown and magnificent Secret Realm, making the search for the source of the call much easier.]
Without further hesitation, you quickly caught up with him and walked alongside him, saying, "Exploring this place alone is too dangerous. Since we share the same goal, why don't we travel together?"
[The Green Robe Youth robe glanced at you, a bright smile spreading across his face, and readily replied, "Sure! My name is Long Yu, what's yours?"]
["Long Yin."]
"Long Yin... what a wonderful name!" Long Yu exclaimed with a smile. "Let's go then, let's see what's calling us."
"Feather?"
Qin Wangchuan looked at the name "Long Yu," tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and his eyes sharpened.
This word instantly reminded him of another person— Cheng Yu.
After being captured, Cai Yi revealed this name.
According to their testimonies, their goal was the same: to Ancestral Dragon Egg.
However, in a sense, they had already obtained the dragon egg.
Ten thousand years ago, the Demon Race launched a massive attack. Although they successfully stole the dragon eggs, the True Dragon Tribe was incredibly powerful, and those carrying the dragon eggs had no way to escape.
So they hid the Ancestral Dragon Egg somewhere.
Even the True Dragon Clan doesn't know about that place.
Therefore, their purpose in coming here was to bring their clan's most precious treasure and, taking advantage of the appearance of the True Dragon, sneak in to secretly search for the hidden dragon eggs.
Thinking about this, Qin Wangchuan already had doubts.
"Cheng Yu and Long Yu, it's best if this isn't a coincidence."
[Day 2 of entering the Secret Realm]
[Throughout the journey, Long Yu took great care of you, making you even more convinced that he was a trustworthy and good person.]
[You curiously inquired about his background, but he simply shook his head, saying nothing more, his eyes seeming to hold a secret.]
[Day 9 of entering the Secret Realm]
On this day, the distant mountains began to tremble violently, accompanied by ancient and majestic dragon roars.
The True Dragon Clan has been born.
[Day 15 of entering the Secret Realm]
The road ahead is becoming increasingly difficult.
Although there were no attacks from living creatures, the land was ravaged, with shocking traces of battle everywhere.
[Mountains were blasted flat, rivers were severed and diverted, and some roads were completely blocked by collapsed rocks, forcing people to make difficult detours.]
"A great battle once took place here; I wonder who left such horrific traces," you murmured to yourself, gazing at the scene before you.
[Long Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her voice icy: "It's the Demon Race."]
[You look at him in surprise.]
"The Celestial Sky Sparrow Lineage the Demon Race launched a massive invasion of this world ten thousand years ago," Long Yu explained, her gaze sweeping over the gruesome marks. "They are... the mortal enemies of our True Dragon Clan."
[You murmur the word "enemy," but feel no real hatred.]
[Although no one says it explicitly, you vaguely know that you possess the True Dragon Bloodline.]
[But this bloodline didn't bring you a sense of belonging. The peaceful and warm life in the Azure Cloud Sect is your true home. You came here only to resolve that vexing call.]
"Quickly find the source of the call, resolve this matter, and then return to the sect to teach my junior sister how to cook!" you silently resolved.
[That calling was so annoying, it made you restless. Luckily, Eldest Brother Long Yu was with you, otherwise, it would have been even more unbearable without anyone to talk to.]
[Day 22 of entering the Secret Realm]
[On this day, a strange thing happened!]
[As you travel, a blinding light and violent energy fluctuations suddenly erupt from the direction of the True Dragon Clan Encampment in the distance.]
[This was accompanied by an ominous aura.]
"It's Alien Race!" Long Yu's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "The Alien Race has appeared! Speed up!"
[Although you have never seen Alien Race, you have heard that they are the common enemy of all living beings in the Three Thousand Provinces.]
"Eldest Brother Long Yu is truly knowledgeable and experienced."
[Day 37 of entering the Secret Realm]
[After more than a month of arduous travel, the call grew ever closer, almost as if drums were beating in their ears.]
[Even more strangely, you begin to see faint red pulsations emanating from the ground beneath your feet. These pulsations are silent, yet they penetrate precisely into the depths of your heart, bringing an even stronger sense of unease.]
["Eldest Brother Long Yu!" you called out instinctively.]
"What's wrong?" Long Yu turned to look at you, her face only showing inquiry, her expression unchanged.
"Can't you see it? This on the ground!" you point to the red pulse that's reappearing.
[Long Yu's expression froze for a moment, then she suddenly realized: "Have we arrived?"]
[He seemed to sense something, but he didn't see the red pulse you mentioned.]
[Eldest Brother Long Yu can hear the call, but he can't see the pulse? You wondered to yourself.]
[Without time to think, the pulse, like a guiding thread, clearly pointed in one direction. You followed the pulse's guidance and accelerated forward.]
[Day 40 of entering the Secret Realm]
[Finally, you have reached the source of the pulse.]
[This is a slightly low-lying area, lush with vegetation, but the remnants of an ancient battlefield are still visible, the earth bearing traces of scorching and fragmentation.]
[That powerful call came from the depths of the earth.]
[You and Long Yu searched this area carefully for a long time, but still couldn't find any entrance or crack leading underground.]
[It was as if there was solid rock and soil below, and no one was even meant to go down.]
"What should we do?" You turned to Long Yu for help. His care and companionship along the way had made you consider him a trustworthy friend.
[Long Yu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The only option is to forcibly blast open the ground."]
[But such a commotion would be too great, and the True Dragon Clan in the distance would surely notice. So... we must wait, wait for the Alien Race to come and fight them again, and then strike in the chaos!]
[Over the past month, the Alien Race has indeed launched several harassing attacks; Long Yu's assessment is quite reasonable.]
You nodded in agreement, sincerely praising, "As expected of Eldest Brother Long Yu, you've thought of everything so thoroughly."
