 Shi An was furious to death.

He originally thought that he just lost his body, and all the other treasures are still safely in the cave. As long as he finds his body and regains his strength, he can go back to the abyss and see his treasure again.

However, the sight before him shattered his dream.

After a good night's sleep, the house was stolen!

—those who stole his treasures! They will pay for their greed and ignorance!

Click, click.

The sound of rock breaking sounded, amplified by the empty cave, and echoed between the rock walls.

Shi An barely recovered from his anger.

He turned his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

On the icy rock wall, fine cracks spread like spider webs, and a deep palm mark was branded on it. The surrounding rocks melted due to the high temperature, like semi-molten magma, shimmering faintly crimson.

Shi An was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his hand.

Under the weak light reflected from the snow, the back of his hand shone with a layer of cold metal light, silver-white, and the pattern of dragon scales could be vaguely seen on it. The film that originally only covered the palm and fingertips did not know when The area has doubled, and there is even a faint trend of wanting to spread deep into the wrist.

It is a symbol of his restoration of strength.

But...

what's the use?

Shi An put down his hands and stared at the empty grotto in front of him with a sad face, feeling as if a hole had been dug in his heart.

Gone, all gone.

At this moment, Shi An felt a sudden tremor under his feet.

The whole mountain was rumbling, and the sound of broken rocks could be heard from far away. It seemed that the stone wall not far behind was violently damaged and was collapsing at the moment.

Such a big movement finally pulled Shi An back from the state of restlessness.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the voice behind him.

Across the thick stone wall, you can vaguely hear the sound of the mountain gate opening and the cold wind whistling.

Shi An sighed listlessly.

If a human dared to destroy his cave like this, he would definitely be furious.

But now that there is no treasure, there is only an empty shell left in this cave. Break in, break in, destroy, destroy, what can there be to lose?

After all, the most important thing is gone! !

The demon worm stuck his head out of Shi'an's sleeve and hurriedly urged: "Sir! What are you waiting for! Let's get out of here now, otherwise we won't be able to explain why we are here when Mu Heng arrives. Ah!"

It pulled Shi An's sleeves with its six thin legs: "Leave the green hills there, and don't worry about running out of firewood!"

Although Shi An didn't want to admit it, what the worm said was right.

He nodded dejectedly, and finally glanced at the empty stone cave in front of him with nostalgia, then turned and walked in the direction from which he came.

Halfway through, Shi An suddenly stopped.

For some reason, he suddenly had a... very strange feeling.

Something seemed to be urging and calling him.

Some invisible magnetism came from the darkness.

Shi An stood there in a daze, not moving no matter how urged by the worm.

He slowly turned his head, looked in the direction of the magnetic force, and walked over step by step.

This is already the depths of the cave, and the farthest is the end. Thick stones seal the road tightly, leaving no space to pass through.

The young man raised his pale and slender palm and pressed it lightly on the stone wall.

A scorching flame that seemed to devour everything rose from the darkness.

When the rock wall touched the high temperature, it slowly turned into fiery red magma, which fell to the ground tick by tick, flowing along the ground with raging flames.

The demon worm was startled, and instinctively crawled towards the depths of Shi An's cuffs.

This, this is Dragon Flame.

Not released at all.

Even without relying on anything, the terrifying flame was still burning, emitting a terrifying aura unscrupulously.

After dozens of seconds, the thick stone wall in front of him was completely melted away.

Shi An stepped inward.

The demon worm wanted to follow, but there was some invisible barrier blocking it, dragging it out of Shi'an's sleeve abruptly, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The sound of human footsteps can already be heard behind him, and he is rapidly approaching here at this moment.

Shi An's back slowly disappeared into the darkness.

The demon worm fell to the ground with his back to the sky, his mind empty and a look of despair.

Ah... sin.

Shi An walked into the solid cave that was blocked by rocks.

It was pitch black on all sides, only the top was open to the sky light, and the heavy snow fell one after another, and a faint morning light shone in.

In the center of the spacious cave stood a huge dark rock, covered with snow and completely covered in a vast white.

Shi An raised his hand and placed it on the bulge of the rock.

In the next second, the perfectly controlled flames soared, and the thick layer of snow melted instantly, turning into warm water and flowing down, overflowing everywhere on the ground.

Washed by the clear water column, the huge rock in front of him changed to reveal its true face.

It was a huge pitch-black dragon.

He curled up his body and fell asleep quietly. The tip of his slender tail rested under his head. After unfolding, the wings that could cover the sky were tucked behind him, covering most of his body. The dragon scales are indestructible, shining with a metal-like icy hard sheen in the morning light.

There is a kind of shocking majesty about him, which makes people instinctively fear, for fear of disturbing the sleep of the dragon.

When standing in place.

He stared at his former self, stunned for a long time.

When he rushed in, Mu Heng was slightly startled when he saw the scene in front of him.

There was no snow in the entire huge cave, and the temperature was frighteningly high. There were flames burning recklessly everywhere. The flames flowed very quietly on the ground, floated in the air, and released some kind of terrifying pressure.

"Dragon, it's a dragon!" the mercenary screamed.

He stared at the firelight floating in front of him in horror, his eyes slack: "This, this is the dragon's cave!"

Everyone subconsciously took a breath and instinctively took a step back.

Although I don't know what it is, the fear that comes from the depths of the soul cannot be deceived. The trembling deep into the bone marrow is flowing in the blood of the ancestors and passed down from generation to generation.

They subconsciously knew that if they encountered that terrifying flame, they would be devoured from the body to the soul.

——Except Mu Heng.

He stared at the scene in front of him, the deep blue eyes reflected the burning flame, like a ghost fire quietly lit in the depths of the abyss ruins.

A strong trembling and excitement rose from the depths of my soul.

Dragon is here.

Mu Heng stretched his fingers and slowly clenched the long sword in his hand again.

He turned his head to look at Wen Yao behind him, and there was something chilling in his low voice: "Just wait here."

Wen Yao shivered when she met the other's gaze.

Mu Heng's eyes were very scary.

She could clearly feel that the other party asked them to stay here not because they knew they were incapable of facing existences like giant dragons and worried about their safety, but more like... a

warning.

Warn others not to interfere, not to touch your prey.

Otherwise, he would go ahead of the dragons and do it himself without hesitation.

That kind of terrifying frenzy surged in the man's icy lake-like eyes, which was downright creepy.

Mu Heng held the long sword in his hand and walked towards the only passage.

In the darkness, he glimpsed the crouching figure of the giant dragon.

——That beautiful, huge creature was less than 100 meters away from him.

However, suddenly, a touch of surprise flashed across Mu Heng's eyes.

He saw a familiar figure standing beside the dragon.

The boy's figure is so slender, as if he will be swallowed up by the giant in front of him in the next second, his profile is pale, and it is as clean as the first snow in the morning light.

time.

He stood there, looking away.

Those dark eyes were calm and worried, with a deep shimmer, as if a galaxy was flowing under them,

It was only a brief distraction, and the sound of a boulder collapsing came from overhead, the melted rock wall collapsed, and the narrow passage was completely filled in a blink of an eye.

The strength of the rocks inside the cave is not at the same level as the outside. The ten thousand years of infiltration of the poisonous gas in the abyss endows it with an extraordinary degree of hardness, which can last for dozens of seconds under the dragon flames released by the dragon with all its strength.

Even if Mu Heng came back to his senses, he was still inevitably blocked.

At this moment, his eyes moved, and he was attracted by something on the ground - it was a pale red gemstone, emitting a moist shimmer in the darkness.

That was the stone he gave Shi An earlier.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, subconsciously tightened his fingers, and clenched the hilt of the sword.

The last look of the other party flashed in his mind.

A sense of dryness instantly emerged.

Like... destiny.

Shi An was taken aback by the collapse of the rock, and only then did he recover from the extreme shock just now.

He really didn't expect to see his former body in this situation.

I didn't expect that Mu Heng would appear at this juncture.

He turned his head to look at the abyss dragon sleeping in front of him, frowning slightly.

This... what's going on here?

Shi An can be very sure that it is not the soul that has left the body.

Although he is now trapped in the form of a human, the essence of his body is still a dragon - at most, it is limited by the form and becomes more human-like.

Then... why did he see his own body?

When Shi An raised his hand, he couldn't help but raise his hand to reach the head of the giant dragon in front of him.

The scales feel cold and hard, like a fake replacement.

Absolutely right.

Shi An pushed it subconsciously.

The giant dragon in front of him was pushed back by him.

Eh? ?

Shi An was stunned.

No, he didn't use much strength just now, how could he push his original body?

That's at least thousands of tons!

Shi An grabbed one of the dragon's claws, and with a little force, he lifted it lightly—this is too light!

He seemed to suddenly realize something.

Shi An hesitated for a moment, then slowly curled his fingers and tapped the dragon in front of him with his knuckles.

A hollow voice sounded.

A long time ago, the memory that had been sleeping for ten thousand years was awakened, and Shi An remembered the three molting periods he had experienced, and finally understood what the dragon shape he was looking at was.

- This is him shedding his skin.

But...don't dragons only have three molts?
