The sun shines on the golden wilderness, and the river in the distance is like a silver line, reflecting the scorching light of the sky.

The area where Ian is located is located in a small basin in the southern part of the Golden Fields. This basin has relatively rich water flow. You can occasionally see patches of arbor forests on both sides of the road and around the river. The scenery is quite unique and beautiful.

Watching Xiou and Lubeck approaching him, Ian felt a little strange to be honest.

He rarely feels surprised. After all, he is a prophet. If he is really shocked, he is shocked and frightened. Unexpected good things are always rare.

Patting the camel beast's head and making it turn around gently, Ian said: "How come you two have the time to catch up with me? Do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes and no!"

Xio's riding skills are surprisingly good, but Ian seriously doubts that he can talk to horses. The horses on Terra are essentially a kind of sub-dragon, and this guy has blood suppression on horses.

This cheerful citizen of Dragonborn Mountain said: "We have something to go to the western plains. Originally we were going on a different journey than you, but Anfa asked me to bring you a message."

After a pause, Xio frowned slightly and looked solemn, as if imitating Anfa's expression at that time: "He said, 'I understand. Thank you very much for your notice. I will try to catch up with you in three days. If not If you miss it, leave the Purple Maple Knight to me to deal with it'."

"That's roughly what it means. He said it in a very formal way, and there is a long thank-you speech at the end. I'm too lazy to repeat it. In short, it just means thank you."

Ian nodded slightly. He didn't intend to ask the other party why he wanted to go to the Western Plains. The young man turned his head and looked at Lubeck.

The two looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Lubeck... I remember that you didn't, uh, join the Huaiguang Church, which is almost considered a conversion, and became a priest?"

Ian asked with some confusion: "That was still a big news in Harrison Port. Did I remember correctly? Why did you suddenly and..."

He glanced at Xio, who also had red hair and green eyes, and immediately understood: "What is the mission of your mountain tribe?"

"I should ask this question..."

Lubeck, who had lost weight again, looked at the familiar exchange between Ian and Xiou. He was the most shocked, but he also had no intention of asking.

As a former mercenary leader, he knew very well what things should be known and what things should not be known.

"Actually, it's mainly about dealing with Feiyandi."

But before Lubeck could calm down, Xio directly revealed their purpose: "Recently, the people from Feiyandi have transferred a lot of people deep into the Baisen Mountains, and they seem to be planning to cause something big. , angering the beast kings under my mother."

Xiou spoke freely, causing Ian and Lubeck to look at each other again, both of them were silent, and he continued: "It is said that they want to destroy the ecology inside the Baisen Mountains and force the beast kings to raid the human towns in the South Ridge and the West... … It was from the western plains that they entered the Byson Mountains.”

"Mother, he has been very busy recently and has no time to care about such small things, so he sent me and several other members of the Dragon Worship Cult to find out the specific location of the Feiyan Special Forces camp. He will pass by next time. When the time comes, let’s just stop it and save yourself the trouble.”

"Ouch."

Ian made an onomatopoeia of surprise: "Feiyandi is so bold? Did they fail to do a good job in intelligence work, or do they have a way to deal with your mother?"

Dare to take action against the territory of a fourth-level true dragon? There seems to be no such news in the future of the insect swarm...

"Probably intelligence work."

Xio thought for a while, then nodded: "As far as I know, most people think that the King of the Mountain is actually a giant golden-winged thunderbird."

"Except for a few tribes who serve their mother, the other mountain people don't know what's going on deep in the mountains."

"Ha ha."

Ian immediately understood. He smiled and shook his head: "That's true."

Good to die. It is estimated that this batch of Feiyange special forces were wiped out too quickly, so there was no big reaction in Harrison Port on the way to the insect nest.

Ian looked at Lubeck, and he understood now. Why is this acquaintance suddenly related to the Dragon Worship Cult?

After all, he is not an official Huaiguang monk, but a member of the mountain people. Of course he will defend his hometown.

"Wish you a safe journey and see you next time."

As a person from Nanling, I am naturally happy to see the success of the attack on Feiyandi.

Ian thought for a while and gave Xiou some special alchemy bombs and potions: "If someone notices your reconnaissance and pursues you, drink this bottle of anti-virus potion and internal breathing potion, and use these poison mist diffusion bombs After the break."

"This ointment can block the transmission of breath. I usually use it to lurk and catch monsters. Even the sense of smell of a big forest wolf can't smell it. It can effectively avoid various detection methods."

"And here is a high-performance alchemical explosive, a glory bomb used to kill both of us. Uncle Lubeck, do you want one too?"

The boy held up the bomb with a smile on his face, and he promoted it enthusiastically: "If you don't like the spherical shape, I also have a bullet-shaped one."

"No, I'll forget it."

Lubeck shook his head like a rattle. He saw Xio looking as excited as holding a new toy, and his heart immediately sounded a warning: "I'm not like adults, who can place my soul on my body... You let adults Be careful when you self-destruct so that I can stay away!"

Even so, Lübeck was forced to accept it.

It's not that Ian insisted on giving it away, but that Xio wanted to take Lubeck's one to play with.

After accepting Ian's gift, Xiou was very happy to give Ian a black dragon scale amulet.

"It can resist many negative mental states - such as psychic powers and the psychic effects brought about by worry stones. Those at the first level are immune."

He used a face that was very similar to Anfa's and showed a confident expression that Anfa would never show: "Wait for a while and listen to our big news in the imperial capital!"

"Then I'll wait and see." Ian also congratulated them on their success from the bottom of his heart.

After leaving such spirited words, Xio and Lübeck turned to the western plains.

And Ian watched them leave and disappear behind a hill.

Then, he turned his attention to the psychic jewelry made of black dragon scales in his hand.

Speaking of which, this seems to be the first psychic jewelry I have ever received, except for the 'Silent Ring' given by Master Gosei?

Unfortunately, the Ring of Silence was overloaded and damaged in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea.

【Blessing of the Abnormal Dragon】

[First level·Accessories·Elite·Inedible]

[The injured true dragon has been pregnant for many years, and the only child born out of it still contains the latent poison of the ancient extraterrestrial thing. The blood of the abnormal dragon causes the descendants of the dragon to shrink their limbs and degenerate their wings. Even the blade tail that is supposed to whip the earth and thunder It has also turned into stiff joints, and just a slight movement will cause endless pain, leaving only the over-developed brain still meditating in the dark]

[Accessories made from the scales of the abnormal dragon have the function of protecting the soul. As long as the mental interference received is not greater than the pain that the abnormal dragon places in the scales, the interference will be absorbed]

[When His pain is greater than your pain, you will no longer suffer]

Ian raised his head suddenly and looked in the direction where Xiou and the others left in shock.

"Deformed dragon..."

He murmured to himself, and suddenly understood why Xiou walked in the world as a human being, and why he was so eager and almost innocent to communicate with other people, imitating their appearance and posture.

Because... Xiou's true body is not what he imagined. He is the successor of the true dragon, a normal descendant who was placed in the lair to educate for safety reasons...

Rather, they are mutilated people who have difficulty appearing in the sun because of their physical deformation.

Entrusting his soul to the human body is probably the only way he can perceive the world without pain.

Yes, why would the King of the Mountain lock his descendants in the lair until they reach the third energy level for 'safety reasons'?

In other words, is the reason why a real dragon like the Mountain King really joined the Dragon Worship Cult just to break through to the fifth energy level? There may be related inheritance in his own bloodline.

"I see... No wonder Xio always looks so happy."

Shaking his head slightly, many things that Ian had been confused about in the past were completely understood.

If a person simply walks in great pain, how can he not be happy when he can walk freely on the earth?

Taking this information to heart, Ian moved on.

The appearance of Xiou and Lubeck actually represents one thing, that is, they realize that the forces they left have gradually caught up with them.

This is true whether it is Anfa who will arrive later, or the Magneto Light and Purple Maple Knights.

Turning his head, Ian's eyes flashed with a silver-blue halo.

He nodded slightly: "Sure enough."

"Right in the back."
