With the roar of a real dragon in front, the other dragons naturally roared in response. Amid the response of the dragon roars, Ji Yuan and the group of dragons crossed the boundary between the Desolate Sea and the East China Sea. This was not the ocean current that briefly flowed into the Desolate Sea when they took the boundary flying boat. This was a real ocean and desolate sea. As soon as they entered the Desolate Sea, a violent gale from the sky immediately came towards them.
There are dragons all around them, and even real dragons following them. A mere strong wind can't do anything to the dragons. They still ride the wind and waves forward without slowing down at all.
By the time they got here, the dark clouds brought by the dragons had long since dispersed. Ji Yuan looked at the sea in the distance and saw that even with the sun shining, the water was still turbid. Not to mention the azure blue, the sea showed all kinds of mottled colors from afar. This was mainly because it was located at the junction of the Desolate Sea and the East China Sea. Under the collision of various ocean currents, the turbidity of the Desolate Sea also had different shades, forming graffiti-mottled colors. If you went further away, it would probably be a unified turbid and black color.
Arriving at the desolate sea, even though most of the beautiful scenery of the sea was gone, Ji Yuan sometimes felt that some of the sea water seemed to have been polluted by some occupation in the previous life. However, Ji Yuan knew that although this sea water had an impact on the living environment of marine life in the water, it itself was not harmful.
After the dragons entered the desolate sea and flew for more than ten days, their speed gradually slowed down, mainly because the strong winds above the sea surface became stronger and stronger. The waves were even more affected by the strong winds. It might be calm one second and then surge into huge waves dozens of meters high the next second. The strong winds were so strong that the dragons could not maintain their previous high speed, at least they could not just rely on their dragon bodies to force their way through, unless they used their demonic power to draw the wind and control it.
But the dragon clan obviously did not want to consume too much physical strength and magic power because of the journey. Ji Yuan saw Huang Yuzhong, who was standing on the cloud not far away, with light flashing around him. In an instant, he turned into a huge old yellow dragon with a body and dragon whiskers over a hundred feet long. Then a long dragon roar came out of his mouth.
“Roar——”
"Dragons, follow me into the desolate sea!"
“Ang…” “Anghou…” “Ang…”
The roars of dragons echoed one after another, and the waves on the sea surface kept exploding with "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom"... These were all the splashes caused by dragons diving into the sea.
"Mr. Ji, shall we also enter the desolate sea?"
Old Dragon Yinghong asked Ji Yuan. At this moment, most of the dragons had already dived into the sea. Only Old Dragon Yinghong and his group had more than 20 dragons following the white cloud of Ji Yuan and others.
"The Dragon Clan is the supreme ruler of the sea, so we will just follow Mr. Ying's arrangements."
"Okay, let's go into the sea too! Roar—"
Following a long roar from the old dragon, the white clouds crashed directly into the sea at high speed.
"Bang~"
Water splashed everywhere, and Ji Yuan's sight was suddenly filled with sea water. The sound of water and water vapor mingling could be heard everywhere. However, the impact of the desolate sea on vision was dispensable to Ji Yuan. After all, with his "excellent" eyesight, normal sea water would still look the same no matter how clear it was.
There were large white bubbles generated in the sea water from top to bottom, all around, far and near. These were the splashes and bubbles created by the dragons entering the water.
Ji Yuan and the old dragon Ying Hong still maintained their human form, while Ying Ruoli and Ying Feng had directly transformed into Chijiao dragon bodies. The two Chijiao, which were more than 20 feet long, were glowing with crystal red light, and were also accompanied by five-colored glazed colors. Ying Ruoli and Ying Feng swam to the feet of Ji Yuan and the old dragon on the left and right respectively, carrying the two of them through the waves in the sea. The dragon girl transformed faster than Ying Feng and carried Ji Yuan forward first. Ying Feng had to carry his father, who felt a little jealous.
The one leading the way was the old yellow dragon, so Ji Yuan and the others didn't need to make any extra moves. They just had to swim along. The water in front of them was turbid and the ocean current was very turbulent, but the direction of the dragon group was constantly moving downward and forward.
As the dragons passed by, the surrounding sea water slid left and right. In Ji Yuan's vision, the eyes of the dragons beside him all had amber fluorescence, becoming the only source of light in the increasingly dark sea water.
Ji Yuan had never thought of riding a dragon. After all, the arrogance of the dragon race was known to the world. Even though the one carrying him was Ying Ruoli, it was obvious that Ying Ruoli did not have any extra thoughts about it at the moment. Even in this desolate sea with undercurrents, the dragon's movement was very stable, so Ji Yuan could not feel any bumps at all.
Because the dragons need to keep a certain distance from each other when swimming, at this moment Lao Long and Ying Feng are still more than ten feet away from Ji Yuan and Ying Ruoli.
"Uncle Ji, the upper reaches of the desolate sea are still affected by the strong winds, the ocean currents are turbulent, and the force of the strong winds will even blow into the sea, but the closer to the seabed, the more vitality there is."
Ying Ruoli's light and pleasant voice came from the dragon's mouth, bringing a slight psychological contrast to Ji Yuan.
"Well, tell me more about the desolate sea so that I can learn more."
"Hehehe... Ruoli obeys your command."
The dragon girl chuckled and told Ji Yuan what she knew about the desolate sea.
“In fact, there are not always strong winds raging above the desolate sea. There are some places that are even sunny and windy all year round. These places are the treasures in the desolate sea, mostly occupied by sea monsters, and most of them are special islands... The rumor that the desolate sea is endless actually makes sense. The further you go out, the bigger the desolate sea becomes. No one can explore the entire desolate sea. However, a dragon flew in one direction and reached the far end of the desolate sea, which is almost a dead zone. After crossing the boundary of entering the frontier dead zone, the ocean above is fierce, the external strong winds are spreading, and the ground fire below is erupting, scorching the sea water like boiling water. The vast area is incalculable.”
Ji Yuan frowned. The vast area is immeasurable? He didn't believe it. It wasn't the vast starry sky. How could the end of the desolate sea really be immeasurable? He must have not explored it.
Now Ji Yuan had long given up the idea that this world was a planet. After all, he had flown to the sky countless times. Although the terrain had ups and downs, and there might even be large areas of arches and depressions that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, it was not a planetary structure as a whole. It was more likely that the sky was round and the earth was flat in a broad sense. But even so, Ji Yuan did not think that the earth was endless. That would be absurd.
Just as I was thinking this, the Dragon Girl suddenly said again.
"In fact, a senior from the Dragon Clan also mentioned another possibility. He thought that perhaps the limitless frontier of the desolate sea was just an illusion. Perhaps something disturbed our spiritual perception, causing us to go around in circles without knowing it... Anyway, not many people would do such a stupid thing."
This is indeed possible, Ji Yuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.
The dragons swam recklessly in the water at a speed not much slower than flying. After reaching a certain depth, more marine life could be seen in the sea. As they got closer to the seabed, some fluorescent marine vegetation and special aquatic creatures appeared in the desolate sea, adding some color to the dark and turbid seabed.
This kind of place easily makes Ji Yuan think of words like thalassophobia. Even for him now, he would not be willing to hang out in such a place unless he came with a group of dragons.
"Ah~~~~"
Ying Ruoli let out a soft dragon roar, and fluorescent light flashed on the dragon's body. In Ji Yuan's sight, there were rays of light that spread outwards like ripples at extremely fast speeds, flashing across the seabed, across schools of fish, and across all kinds of things in the desolate sea. Not only Ying Ruoli, but Ying Feng and even other dragons also made similar movements from time to time, which was a bit like the more mysterious sonar of the dragon clan.
“Ang woo~~~~” “Woo~~~~”
From time to time, sounds could be heard from afar. In Ji Yuan's opinion, some dragon roars sounded like the distant calls of whales.
The distance between the dragons was getting farther and farther, spreading over a large area on the seabed, with often two dragons being separated by dozens of miles or even scores of miles.
"Uncle Ji, when the Yellow Dragon Lord first attacked the desolate sea, we can already see dragon corpse worms in this area. Of course, they are all dead now, but we will still investigate from here."
Ji Yuan looked towards the seabed below. Although in terms of vision, his normal vision at the moment was no different from being blind, he could still feel the lingering aura of thunder and fire on the seabed, which should be the remnants of the spell cast by Old Huanglong back then.
"Dragon corpse worms have the habit of gathering in groups, and will actively seek out their own kind to reproduce, almost without exception, so they usually stretch out in a line, and it's not easy to lose the others once they find one."
This time, the dragon clan has gathered the strength of four real dragons and three hundred flood dragons, and will go all the way to the location where the giant old worm was killed. They will extend a push line of at least five thousand miles, searching back and forth in that area, and advancing forward at least one hundred thousand miles. If they really can't find a single dragon corpse worm this time, the dragon clan will most likely put the matter on hold for the time being.
Although according to the legend of the dragon clan, the dragon corpse worm may have the potential to become a great figure and know how to avoid harm and seek good fortune, the dragon corpse worm is often surrounded by small insects. As long as you find a dragon corpse worm, it is not difficult to find the others if it is led by a real dragon.
"Lord Long, please spare me, please spare me... ah..."
There were faint screams coming from the distance, Ji Yuan looked over and saw a demonic aura rising and then quickly dissipating. He thought that some powerful monster in the desolate sea was killed by the dragon. A dragon that has been traveling a long way is hungry and will not listen to reason.
Ji Yuan couldn't say anything about this. He didn't have enough time to talk to the dragon clan and ask them to find out which monster in the desolate sea was innocent and pure. At most, it would affect Ying Ruoli and Ying Feng.
Since the search line was launched, Ji Yuan has been moving forward with the dragon group for more than three months, and has even passed the place where Old Yellow Dragon killed the giant evil insect. On this day, Ji Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the dragon mane at Ying Ruoli's neck to rest, when suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
"Um?"
"Uncle Ji, what's wrong?"
Ji Yuan frowned and took out a feather from his sleeve. He seemed to feel heat in his sleeve just now, but when he took it out, there was no change. The illusion was definitely not an illusion.
"Nothing, I just felt my mind moving a little, maybe I was wrong."
Ying Ruoli immediately became concerned. Could Uncle Ji have made a mistake? This was unlikely. Maybe Uncle Ji was just afraid that she would worry? Or maybe Uncle Ji was not sure yet
