Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1177 Each with their own ulterior motives

In the silent mountains and forests, there is a vast expanse of ruins. These ruins seem to have existed for countless ages, yet they also seem to have existed in this place forever.

He didn't have that sense of vicissitude; it was as if he had only been there yesterday.

In fact, Ye Qing had always had a very strange feeling. He felt that everything in this place was unreal. Everything here seemed to be still, as if time did not exist in this place at all.

This feeling made him feel very strange.

Amidst the ruins ahead, there seemed to be a lingering, extremely malevolent aura, as if it were this aura that had transformed the area into its current state.

But strangely enough, there are also murders involving light in the world, as if the passage of time is absolutely real.

“This is how it’s marked on the map passed down from our ancestors. This place is the first point marked on the map,” Zhang Heng said. “On the map, this place is called Verati City.”

“Verratia City?” At that moment, Sun Jie’s pupils contracted slightly as she asked, “Are you sure this place is called Verratia City?”

"What's wrong?" Ye Qing asked. "Have you heard of this place?"

“I’m very interested in history, so I’ve always looked for ancient books to read. I once saw the city of Verati in an unofficial history book that recorded the chaotic star sea!” Sun Jie said.

"Hmm?" Everyone's expression shifted slightly.

“Verati is a name translated from the language of the ancient Chaotic Star Sea. According to what I learned from that ancient book, Verati translates to ‘City of Dragons’ in the language of the ancient Chaotic Star Sea!” Sun Jie said.

"Legend has it that before the Chaotic Star Sea was destroyed, the dragon race existed, and there were quite a few of them. The dragon race was the most powerful being. Once they reached adulthood, the vast majority of them could reach the Venerable level or above, and some dragons with powerful bloodlines could even reach the Emperor level." Sun Jie said, "And this Verati, in the language of the Chaotic Star Sea in the ancient times, means dragon!"

"According to unofficial historical records, the city of Verati was inhabited by the Dragon King and countless slaves kept by the dragons. When the ancient chaotic star sea collapsed, the dragons perished as a result!" Sun Jie said, "The city of Verati also disappeared overnight, along with the enormous treasure left behind by the dragons!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up slightly. Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "You mean that if this place is Verati City, it is very likely that it was the ancient city of dragons, and that it contains extremely terrifying treasures?"

“Dragons love treasures, and they will collect them whenever they see them!” Sun Jie said. “However, the ancient book I saw was just unofficial history, and its authenticity is unknown. No one in this world has ever seen dragons before, and no one knows whether they actually exist in this world.”

“They did exist!” someone said at that moment.

Ye Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was called Long Rui, another woman in their group. She was a master in the early stage of the Domain Lord realm, and she was not one of the Qi Observation Clan members like Zhang Heng.

Her characteristic is also a relatively rare poisonous characteristic.

Moreover, she rarely spoke, almost never taking the initiative to speak, and seemed very aloof. Unexpectedly, she actually took the initiative to speak at this moment.

“Let’s go!” Just then, Zhang Heng said, “No matter where this place is, since the map says this is our base, let’s go in first and find a place to settle down. It looks like it’s getting dark. We’ve just arrived in Silent Hill and don’t know anything about this place. We need to observe what the situation is like at night.”

"Okay!" The group nodded.

They quickly entered the ruins and found a relatively well-preserved section. Zhang Heng used many flags to seal off the surrounding aura.

Before we knew it, the sky had completely darkened.

Just as darkness fell completely, Ye Qing clearly sensed an extremely terrifying and evil aura emanating from the outskirts of Silent Hill.

The aura emanating from this person was something that people of their level simply couldn't withstand; many of them didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

From time to time, a tremendous commotion could be heard from the surrounding area. They couldn't even imagine what kind of creature was making such a commotion.

Occasionally, a sound like the earth shaking could be heard outside, as if some towering giant was walking, which made Ye Qing's scalp tingle.

Everyone huddled inside, trembling with fear. Fortunately, although they could feel the ground shaking, they were quite safe.

After acclimatizing for about two hours, Zhang Heng let out a long sigh and said, "It seems safe here. Let's not go out. The nights here seem very scary. Let's wait until dawn tomorrow before we set off!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ye Qing frowned slightly. "Let's set off again tomorrow?"

They came to Silent Hill in search of opportunity.

However, Zhang Heng's statement suggests that the Qi-observation clan has a very clear destination.

Ye Qing guessed that it was most likely related to the great emperor of their ancestors.

However, Zhang Heng and the others had not explained this beforehand!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Sun Jie again.

Sun Jie was standing in front of a wall, gently stroking it as if she were sensing something.

At that moment, he felt a gaze fall upon him. He looked over and found that the woman named Long Rui was staring at him.

When she looked over there, she quickly closed her eyes.

He discovered that everyone who came in with him seemed to have their own agenda!

As for myself, I seemed to be aimlessly wandering.

For Ye Qing, his purpose in entering this place was to find a way to break through to the Domain Lord level. If he could go even further, that would be even better!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a wave of weariness, then he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
