Perhaps it was because Xu Dongyou's expression was too vivid, even the branch chief couldn't help but feel that he was being a little too cruel.
They actually let the young demon race go alone to face the ancient Candle Dragon, which even made them feel a little scared.
But they had no choice at this time, just as Chen Lao said. The ancient Candle Dragon's injuries were gradually recovering, and his strength was getting stronger day by day.
Old Chen and Jiuchao also realized this and felt extremely depressed and sad.
Their demon race has actually fallen to the point where a young cub has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and Xu Dongyou realized the reason belatedly. He endured the shame and actively chirped a few times, then raised his little chest again.
Zhulong did not hurt himself last time, and there is a high probability that he will not hurt himself this time either.
The atmosphere was still somewhat dull, and the branch director said briefly: "Go ahead, I will apply for another reward from the headquarters when you come back."
Xu Dongyou nodded, and looked towards the direction of the portal from time to time.
Fortunately, Jiuchao came out at this time and showed Xu Dongyou the coat and the very important mobile phone in his arms, "Don't worry, I have them all with me."
Xu Dongyou breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he no longer had to worry about facing embarrassing situations after becoming a human.
Old Chen bent down and placed Xu Dongyou at the entrance of the formation. His voice was mixed with some worry, but he still said, "Go, kid. I'll wait for you here."
Xu Dongyou nodded, took small steps, and fluttered into the formation.
Go through the first door.
Everyone became nervous unconsciously.
At this time, the water surface screen appeared again, and one could see Zhulong's body, which was so huge that it was almost impossible to see its entire body. It was roaring madly and constantly hitting the formation.
Just looking at it makes one feel like the soul is trembling.
Xu Dongyou couldn't help but tremble, and he raised his head as high as possible to see the tail of Zhulong.
Because he is currently only eight centimeters tall, he is limited by this and cannot see any higher.
Xu Dongyou walked forward with difficulty for more than ten minutes and only walked less than two hundred meters.
He suddenly felt very tired.
Weak legs were a fatal problem. What was even more desperate was that, as a newly-formed northern long-tailed tit, he still had not had time to learn how to fly in less than half a month.
Elder Chen watched Xu Dongyou advance at a snail's pace in silence, and said, "I was careless this time. Fortunately, the formation is still strong and has enough energy to sustain it for at least five hours."
At this time, the ancient Zhulong was still in madness, but his performance was somewhat different from the previous thousands of years of madness.
This time, after hitting the formation several times, it lowered its head again, almost sticking to the ground to patrol carefully.
It seemed like it was looking for something, and something very small compared to it.
Mr. Chen felt a little bit unbelievable for a moment.
The ancient Zhulong had gone mad. When he crashed into the formation, his mind was in a very confused and crazy state, and he didn't even have the ability to think.
Yet it was looking for something.
There is nothing in the formation except the stone walls, because everything cannot be transported to the innermost part.
Except - the last time I successfully pacified the Zhulong cub.
The answer is self-evident.
Xu Dongyou also thought of this.
And a trace of guilt arose.
Could it be that the ancient Zhulong crashed into the seal formation again because it woke up and found that it was missing
Just as this thought came to mind, the ancient Zhulong once again let out an extremely angry roar, which was like thunder and made everyone's brain go blank.
Zhulong began to hit the seal formation again. Its eyes became more and more blood red. The chaos and madness made it once again exude an aura of oppression that was so terrifying that it seemed to destroy the world.
Mr. Chen's expression changed slightly.
Xu Dongyou, who was in the formation, was the first to be harmed innocently. He was immediately frightened and chirped and flapped his wings hard to increase his presence.
The mad Zhulong stopped moving instantly, staring at the little white ball struggling hard in the distance with confused and thoughtless eyes.
The debris from the top of the mountain kept falling down, and some of it even hit the dragon horns of Zhulong, but it remained motionless, staring at the small white ball.
Old Chen and the others were made nervous by this scene and didn't even dare to breathe.
Next second.
Zhulong broke through several layers of sealing arrays at a rapid speed and successfully reached the second array gate. He quickly stretched out his tail and carefully circled Xu Dongyou inside.
The whole process was so quick that it only took a few seconds to complete.
The mysterious chain was pulled so tight that it was about to break at any time, and because the chain was so tight, several scales of Zhulong began to bleed.
It didn't care at all, but swam around Xu Dongyou anxiously and eagerly.
Zhulong's breathing sounded like a strong wind, blowing Xu Dongyou left and right. He couldn't help but chirp a few times at Zhulong, with a bit of anger and embarrassment.
Zhulong immediately lightened his breathing, so light that it was almost inaudible.
Mr. Chen and others were stunned.
The director of the branch finally came to his senses and said with difficulty, "It only took a few seconds to break through several layers of the seal formation?"
The energy in the sealing formation is sufficient to allow Zhulong to attack with all his strength for at least five hours before the energy is consumed.
During this period, the branch will inevitably mobilize the stored spiritual energy to charge the sealing formation.
The most important thing is that just in the previous few minutes, the ancient Zhulong had hit the sealing array many times but failed to break through. How come it reached the second array gate so quickly this time
"Maybe... because the array gate was about to be broken, or maybe it's because it didn't use its full strength before." Old Chen found his voice again and said in a very complicated way.
The captain just felt terrified.
It seems that the sealing formation is really unable to suppress Zhulong.
It was not the first time that Xu Dongyou had seen Zhulong at such a close distance, but the mere sight of a Zhulong so huge that was almost as tall as a mountain standing in front of him was enough to give him an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Xu Dongyou was as quiet as a chicken, but Zhulong was not satisfied and poked Xu Dongyou gently with his tail.
Xu Dongyou was pushed to the ground, his hair was shaking, he was dizzy and didn't know left, right, east, south, west or north. He looked silly but so cute.
Zhulong's eyes were still crazy, but he moved more carefully as he circled Xu Dongyou and placed him in front of him.
Xu Dongyou: “…”
Being stared at by eyes that were almost as big as a two-story building, and whose look was so crazy and irrational, made him feel extremely stressed.
Zhulong began to move.
Xu Dongyou was so scared that he quickly hugged Zhulong's tail with his wings, for fear of being thrown off.
If you fall from such a high place, you will definitely be smashed into pieces.
Zhulong paused, slowed down and moved forward slowly, and finally put Xu Dongyou in its nest, as if it wanted to hide Xu Dongyou.
Xu Dongyou was still in a state of fear of heights throughout the whole trip and did not come to his senses.
Zhulong calmed down.
Old Chen heaved a sigh of relief and quickly asked the captain to mobilize the spiritual energy stored in the branch to charge the formation.
He and Jiuchao had to hurry to repair the formation.
Jiuchao looked worriedly at the cub that had been stuffed into Zhulong's den and had become completely invisible, and secretly prayed that Zhulong would be able to fall asleep again as soon as possible.
*****
Xu Dongyou finally came back to his senses. Looking at the body that was almost as tall as a mountain, he always had the illusion that he was locked in a small dark room.
Especially Zhulong, with his huge head resting on his body, looking down at Xu Dongyou.
Xu Dongyou couldn't help feeling nervous for some reason, and even felt a little uneasy.
Why did Zhulong put him here
Even after more than ten minutes, Zhulong remained calm. Although his eyes were still crazy and ferocious, his breathing was extremely cautious, for fear of blowing Xu Dongyou away.
Zhulong didn't seem to want to hurt him, so Xu Dongyou relaxed a little, but still didn't dare to move. After all, this was Zhulong's lair, which was equivalent to his bedroom. It didn't seem right for him to walk around in someone else's house.
But now, Xu Dongyou finally dared to raise his head and looked at the ancient Zhulong curiously. Then he was shocked to see the wounds on Zhulong's body. Some of the dragon scales seemed to be almost lifted by the chains, and were slowly dripping with blood.
Xu Dongyou looked at Zhulong cautiously again. The other party was still quiet and there was no sign of fear or madness on his face.
It really seemed not to care about the wounds on its body, but looked at Xu Dongyou with special concentration, and casually swept the mountain wall beside it with the tip of its tail. Huge rocks rolled down, and Xu Dongyou couldn't help swallowing again.
This power seems a little scary.
But from this nonchalant tail, it seems that the other party seems to be in a good mood
Xu Dongyou took a tentative step forward, on the verge of death.
Zhulong's tail stopped moving instantly and its eyes were fixed on Xu Dongyou.
Heart-pounding chaos was brewing in the giant blood-red eyes.
Then a little bit of pressure overflowed.
Xu Dongyou felt uncomfortable all over due to the pressure and started to chirp in pain.
Zhulong's pressure disappeared at the speed of light, and its tail seemed to swing helplessly, poking Xu Dongyou again.
Xu Dongyou raised his wings with lingering fear and chirped twice to indicate that he was still alive.
Zhulong made sounds that were so chaotic that they were meaningless.
But Xu Dongyou always had the illusion that the other party was panicking and apologizing to him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
This is the ancient Zhulong.
In order to protect the world, he killed another ancient being, so when he was injured, he suppressed himself here. No one knows how long he was imprisoned.
Xu Dongyou got up after resting for a while. Zhulong didn't dare to swing his tail anymore. He coiled himself up like a mosquito coil, and quietly retracted his head, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes showing as he peeped at Xu Dongyou.
It seems like he is guilty.
Xu Dongyou wanted to laugh at his own imagination, and his ahoge trembled along with it.
However, Xu Dongyou was really worried about the wounds on Zhulong's body, because they looked quite shocking.
In particular, there was a piece of dragon scale that was completely lifted up and sunk into the flesh. If Zhulong accidentally touched this dragon scale again while moving, it was not known whether it would sink deeper.
Xu Dongyou was a little annoyed that he didn't bring in all the good things Jiuchao gave him, otherwise they would have been eaten by Zhulong.
However, the opponent is the ancient Zhulong after all. Although most of its power has been sealed, can this kind of injury-repairing thing really work on such a huge creature
But even if I can't, I can at least use my cell phone to contact Mr. Chen and ask if there is any way to help Zhulong.
Now there is nothing I can do.
Xu Dongyou couldn't help but sigh, and the hair on his head seemed to droop.
Seeing this, Zhulong couldn't help but make a series of meaningless and chaotic sounds, and gently pricked it with its tail with great interest. However, its tail was still too big for Xu Dongyou.
Xu Dongyou was knocked over and rolled several times.
Fortunately it doesn’t hurt.
Zhulong's breathing, which had been deliberately light, suddenly disappeared. This time, even his eyes were buried in his body, leaving only his tail outside, standing there stiffly and motionless.
Xu Dongyou raised his head: "???"
