Chapter 224: Alpha, the Flame Dragon Ancestor

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! There's another group of black beasts coming over there!"

"There are not enough people on the left, please send support!"

"A fifth-level black beast has appeared. Retreat! Retreat!"

"Who knows healing magic? There are wounded people here!"

"..."

When Rhodes and his companions returned to the elves' base, the battle had already reached a white-hot stage.

Countless black beasts rushed in and launched a fierce attack on the garrison.

Arrow rain and magical light filled every corner, blocking all the black beasts outside, and their corpses piled up into a mountain.

The ones who work the hardest are the foreign souls.

Because their souls can leave the Dream Forest at any time, as long as they are careful they will not encounter any danger, so each of them looks braver than the elf warriors. They all rushed to the front line, wanting to kill the black beast and obtain more soul crystals.

With them around, the defensive pressure was reduced a lot, and there was no need for Rhodes and his team to take action.

"Just go back to your residence."

As Rhodes spoke, giant dragons flew across the sky and landed in the living area of ​​the elves under the shocked gaze of the crowd and disappeared.

Many foreign souls who had just arrived here were even more shocked when they saw this and asked the people around them for details.

When they learned that these dragons came from the depths of the Dreamwood, their desire for the depths of the woods became even greater.

After all, there are even creatures like dragons there, so that place is definitely not comparable to these peripheral areas.

"Legend has it that the elemental dragons were created by the Moon God. Do you think the Moon God lives in the deepest part?"

At the checkpoint, a little wizard in soul form had a face full of longing.

"Wake up, can you see God whenever you want?"

"Hahaha, let's first successfully enter the depths of the woods."

"It would be better to take this opportunity to save some soul crystals to strengthen the soul, so that we can go deeper."

Everyone was talking while resisting the attack of the black beast.

Souls like them cannot bring things from the spiritual plane back to the material plane, but they can absorb the energy of these things to strengthen their souls and improve their strength.

The efficiency is comparable to deep meditation.

If you want to go deeper into the forest, you need even stronger spiritual power, otherwise you won’t be able to hold on halfway.

This is why they are so keen on killing the black beasts, even if they can't hold on and return to their original form after just killing a few black beasts.

……

And at this time.

After landing on the ground, Rhodes also returned to the previous wooden house.

As soon as he sat down, he closed his eyes and sensed the spiritual connection with the three magic puppets.

"How is it? Any reaction?"

Alpha asked from the side.

"No."

Rhodes shook his head: "Without the blessing of the altar, I can't sense the existence of other planes."

After experiencing the previous battle, Rhodes has basically confirmed that the space rift is connected to the plane of the undead, or it is also a place like the kingdom of the dead.

He had been in the Dream Forest for so long, but he didn't know that it was connected to the Plane of the Undead.

And according to the information they found, those necromancers gradually appeared after the incident, which means that this rift had already existed more than two hundred years ago.

"Is it because the black soil pollution broke the balance of the plane?" Rhodes murmured to himself.

"That's possible." Alpha whispered, "I remember that the sky did have a big crack at that time, and then it closed quickly. The space rift should have been left at that time."

"A big cut?"

Rhodes was stunned and fell into deep thought.

The dream forest was formed by the spirit of the Moon Goddess, and the cracks in it indicated that the Moon Goddess might have suffered some kind of misfortune at that time.

It was repaired quickly, probably because of the life force controlled by the Moon Goddess.

What kind of incident could actually shake an existence like the Moon Goddess?

"It seems we have to go to the undead plane on the other side of the rift to take a look. Let's go back tomorrow."

Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. The hidden danger of death believers has been resolved. There is no need to stay any longer.

"Okay then, I'll go talk to Fatty and the others."

Alpha said as he left the cabin and found the fat man who was resting and recovering outside.

However, what puzzled him was

At this moment, there were several human-shaped souls standing next to the fat man, waiting there with nervous and uneasy looks on their faces.

Before he could speak, the fat man had already teased him, "Alpha, you are quite playful. You actually secretly left a seed outside, and it was with the human race. I was wondering why I could sense the breath of the Flame Dragon bloodline a few days ago."

Hearing his words, Alpha looked at those people with a calm expression.

"Are you descendants of my Flame Dragon clan?"

In fact, as early as when he first came here, he sensed the blood aura of these people, but it was too weak so he ignored it.

Now it seems that these people's souls do contain the aura of the Flame Dragon Clan. They should be the offspring of one of their branches and the human race.

"Yes, yes, our ancestor was a great fire dragon."

Seeing Alpha coming over, they were so excited and nervous that they even stuttered when they spoke.

Because they knew very well that their ancestors were just a branch of the Flame Dragon clan.

The one standing before him at this moment was the ancestor of all the fire dragons, also called the Holy Dragon by their ancestors. It was said that the Holy Dragon was the one who served the Dragon God, and was also the first dragon to be born, with the purest bloodline.

Among their ancestor's tribe, there was once a member with outstanding talent who was chosen and taken to the Dream Forest to follow the Ancestral Holy Dragon.

The entire Dragon Island was cheering that day, and the families that served the dragon clan received many rewards.

now.

They actually saw the Ancestral Holy Dragon with their own eyes, and were able to speak without their souls collapsing immediately, which showed that they were mentally strong enough.

"How is the branch your ancestors belong to now?" Alpha asked.

“Reporting to the Great Ancestor, we…we don’t know either…” The leading man, the patriarch of the Flame Dragon’s descendant family, said haltingly.

"do not know?"

Alpha frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

Look at the tree spirits and then look at the elves, they have been sending people into the woods, but their dragon clan has nothing. It is really a waste of time to raise these descendants and branches!

The man was also shocked by his reaction and quickly explained: "Forgive me, sir. Since the incident three hundred years ago, our ancestors have fallen into a deep sleep and asked us not to disturb them."

"..."

Now Alpha didn't know what to say, because their dragon clan really liked to sleep, and it was possible for them to sleep for dozens or even hundreds of years.

But this is not an excuse for them to neglect their duties!
It's been so long and there's still no response. No wonder he can't contact those branches.

Thinking of this, Alpha's face darkened: "Go and inform them to get into the woods immediately, otherwise they will be expelled from the Flame Dragon Clan!"

"Yes, yes, we'll go right away!"

The man and several people around him were horrified. If their ancestor was removed from the list, wouldn’t they even lose the title of Dragon Family?

After saying yes repeatedly, he prepared to return to his body.

"and many more!"

Alpha called them and pointed his finger. A drop of blood condensed from soul power entered the man's body, making his originally illusory soul instantly become solid.

Even the dragon scale mark that was almost invisible became clearly visible. A pair of dragon horns slowly grew out on the forehead, and it finally looked like he had some dragon bloodline.

"Okay, everyone, get out."

Alpha turned away, not wanting to see these descendants again. It was too embarrassing.

If Augula saw it, he would probably laugh at him. He couldn't afford to lose face.

After he left, the man finally reacted and looked at the changes in his soul with great excitement.

"Thank you for the reward, Great Ancestor!"

After saying this, he didn't dare to stay and disappeared from the spot with his tribesmen.

……

East Sea Empire.

In the Galan Province.

As the man returned, a beam of red light shot up into the sky.

"Ow—"

The domineering dragon roar resounded through heaven and earth, making the air in the entire Dragon Family's territory become restless.

Whether it was the pedestrians on the street or the teams passing through the surrounding towns, they were all attracted by this grand vision and looked up at the sky.

"Getting stronger!"

"My blood concentration has really become stronger!"

The man sat upright in the room, feeling the blood power surging in his body, and was extremely excited.

Other family members and elders also hurried over after receiving the news, and at a glance they saw the giant dragon shadow condensing behind him, as well as its much larger body and fiery aura that was far superior to before.

This is the effect of dragon blood. It not only improves a person's magical talent, but also greatly strengthens the body.

Therefore, many talented magicians, dragon warriors, or even geniuses who are proficient in both magic and martial arts are often born in the family. This is why the family of descendants of dragons is so powerful.

They didn't expect that the patriarch's blood concentration suddenly increased so much, even to the point of atavism, and they were all extremely excited.

They finally no longer have to worry about the dilution of their bloodline and the decline of their family.

"Hurry! Go find a few concubines for the clan leader right away. They must have big butts and be good at giving birth!" an elder nearby shouted.

Patriarch: ???
Wait a minute.

You really treat me as a stud!
The man who had just woken up was stunned. Seeing the concubines looking at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat him, he quickly got up and put on his clothes.

He also knew how important a dragon bloodline of extremely high purity was in a family, otherwise every clan leader would not have so many concubines.

Their family, descendants of dragons, doesn't have much in common, but they have the most offspring, so they really take great pains to produce offspring with high bloodline.

But when he thought of what the ancestor had told him, the man did not dare to neglect it: "Ahem... let's talk about taking a concubine later. We have more important things to do now. Prepare the carriage for me immediately. I want to go to the Dragon's Nest!"

"Dragon's Nest? Didn't Lady Lux say that we can't disturb her casually?"

The tribesmen looked at each other in bewilderment; they still didn't know what had happened in the Dream Forest.

The Dragon's Nest is a place they built for the dragons in their territory, specifically for worshipping the dragon clan. In the past, dragons often lived there.

It's just that because of the ban, they haven't been there for a long time.

"Don't worry, this time is different. I believe Lady Lux will want to see me."

The man looked determined as he stood up and walked outside, leaving the tribesmen who had entered the Dream Forest with him to explain.

soon.

He took a carriage to the back mountain of the territory, to a deep volcanic lair.
