"I need you to secretly monitor the four major families in the Eight Heavenly Dragons, including our Wang family. If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately. You can also report it directly to me without going through the senior officials of Longyin!"
The words of Longtou kept echoing in Wang Long's mind.
After returning from Longtou, his heart became even heavier. This extremely secretive mission seemed to tell him in his heart that Dragon City was now in dire straits, and chaos was about to break out.
And this heavy responsibility that I will soon take over completely is so complicated and confusing.
"It seems that I still have to break through again as soon as possible to increase my strength! This muddy water is not something that a weak person like me can see clearly..."
"Long Yin, what is the most mysterious place in Dragon City like?"
Early the next morning, Wang Long finally fell asleep and was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, he felt alarmed and suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a person already standing in the room.
This person is really elusive, standing there without any sense of existence, as if he is a shadow.
"Who are you?!" Wang Long couldn't help but screamed.
"Long Yin, Zhang Mingyi."
"You are from Longyin, why do you suddenly appear here?"
The man showed a sarcastic smile: "You are now considered a member of Long Yin. I am here to pick you up. Otherwise, do you think you can find Long Yin's location by yourself?"
Wang Long smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, you can knock on the door and come in!"
"I'm sorry, I don't have that habit."
"...This guy is so cool, he's even more attractive than Zhang Tailai...wait a minute, these two people do look quite similar, except that Zhang Mingyi is a bit older, could it be..."
"You guessed it right, I am Zhang Tailai's brother." The man suddenly said with a smile, as if he had completely read Wang Long's mind.
"You...can you see what I'm thinking?" Wang Long was shocked and secretly thought, is this the Zhang family's innate magical power, the art of reading minds?
Zhang Mingyi chuckled: "That's right, but it's only part of it. My Zhang family's innate magical power... is a kind of feeling. It's just a trivial matter to read the mind of a young man like you."
Wang Long wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Zhang Mingyi, who waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't ask any more questions. I've already notified you two newcomers who just joined. Just follow me!"
A white figure flashed at the door, and Wang Long realized that Jiangxue was already standing aside. It seemed that she had returned to her normal state, still cold and indifferent, and refusing to let others stand thousands of miles away.
After Zhang Mingyi said this, he walked away, and Wang Long and Jiang Xue had no choice but to follow.
"Were you also woken up by him breaking into the house like this?" Wang Long couldn't help but asked Jiang Xue in a low voice.
The latter turned his head slightly to look at Wang Long and shook his head: "I had expected this, so I was waiting outside the door early in the morning."
Wang Long smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
The three people traveled across the state and became more and more remote, which made Wang Long feel a little uncomfortable. Although Longyin was secretive, it was one of the eight tribes after all. Could it be that it was hidden in this barren mountain?
But looking at Zhang Mingyi's posture, he showed no intention of stopping.
After another long while, Wang Long couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Elder Zhang... we are already in the hinterland of the back mountain. If we go further in, we will have to leave the city! Where is the hidden place of the dragon?"
Zhang Mingyi looked back at him: "Who told you that I was going to take you to where Long Yin is?"
"...Didn't you say you were coming to pick us up?" Wang Long couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right, but it's not to take you to Longyin, but to go out of the city to perform a mission..." He paused, glanced at the dull expressions of the two with satisfaction, and continued: "Do you think Longyin will be like Longwu?
Is there a place for daily training? The best training is always done during tasks..."
"Yes, but even so, you should tell us the mission first, right?!" Wang Long felt helpless.
Zhang Mingyi nodded and said: "That's true. The details of the mission have to start with your last trip to Ganoderma Island..."
It turned out that after returning from Lingzhi Island last time, Zhang Tailai reported what happened on the island, especially the information about the rebirth of the demon clan, which shocked the entire Dragon City senior management.
Hundreds of demon clans have been destroyed for a long time. Although everyone knows that they must have residual forces lingering on, no one expected that a snake demon clan would show up so soon, and it is a snake demon clan that is tit for tat with Dragon City!
In ancient times, after the Dragon Clan suddenly declined for some unknown reason, the most promising people to inherit the Dragon Clan's orthodoxy were the Snake Demon Clan, which was the closest to it. However, for some unknown reason, the Human Clan got the inheritance in the end and became the real masters of the earth.
.
The snake demon clan is naturally unwilling to give in. Although they have been lurking quietly, they have always been deliberately plotting to overthrow the Dragon City and steal the secret of the dragon clan's inheritance.
"So it turns out that Long Yin has been investigating this matter since he returned last time?" Wang Long asked.
Zhang Mingyi sneered: "Don't underestimate Long Yin's ability. The last battle between Ganoderma Island and Black Flood Dragon Island was a step in the demon clan's testing. Based on the intelligence secretly obtained from Black Flood Dragon Island and the snake demon, we have already
We have roughly determined a few places where the snake demon clan is hiding. This time, the three of you and I are going to sneak into one of them secretly to explore the truth."
"Where?"
"Oh, it's not too far away. It's in the Sangyou Mountain in the south." Zhang Mingyi said with a smile.
Not long after, the three people left the city and walked all the way south. The facts proved that Zhang Mingyi's words of not being too far were far from the actual situation. After one day, they did not even reach the boundary of Zhongzhou where Dragon City is located.
Although Wang Long and Jiang Xue are both elite disciples among the younger generation and have been trained and fought by Long Wu, running around all day without eating or drinking is still a bit unbearable.
Zhang Mingyi seemed to notice the fatigue of the two of them, shook his head and sneered: "You are such a kid, you can't hold on for a while, let's go, go to the town ahead to rest, and we will continue our journey tomorrow."
After walking for another half an hour, I finally saw the shadow of the town that Zhang Mingyi mentioned. By this time, we had reached the border of Zhongzhou. This city was called Jingyang City. It was not big, but it was quite prosperous.
It can be said that this is the first time Wang Long has come to a lively town other than Dragon City, and unlike Dragon City, this is a real human civilization. Everything is people-oriented. There are no dragon statues and other things decorated everywhere in Dragon City.
On the contrary, all kinds of weird stuff can be seen everywhere.
Although he didn't want to act immature in front of Zhang Mingyi and Jiang Xue, he was still curiously attracted by all kinds of novel things from time to time and let out exclamations of exclamation.
Zhang Mingyi shook his head and said: "This is just an ordinary human town. Compared with the capital of the entire Kyushu Islands and the capital where the human leaders are located, it is no different than the vast distance."
Wang Long couldn't help but show some yearning, and said with a wry smile that he didn't know when he would be able to visit the so-called capital city.
Zhang Mingyi's face suddenly darkened and he said: "The mission of our Dragon Clan for generations is to protect the Dragon Clan's bloodline and not to cut it off! The human race has always been eyeing our Dragon City and has no good intentions. This idea of yours is inconsistent with the ancestral precepts!
"
Wang Long was startled, thinking about the opinions of generations of people in the entire Dragon City, and couldn't help but darken his face. In the Dragon City, it seems that people are supposed to keep to themselves when they are born, stay in the Dragon City as they should, and protect the sacred dragon clan in their hearts.
Bloodline, when it comes to the outside world, it is full of thorns and treacherous things.
Although he had no hesitation in guarding Dragon City, he could not help but feel resentful in his heart. He whispered: "Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. If you cannot understand the development of the human race outside, how can you deal with them better?"
"What did you say?!" Zhang Mingyi said loudly.
"No...nothing, forget it..."
Zhang Mingyi suddenly smiled and said: "Young man, it's okay to have such thoughts. It's normal... Let me tell you secretly, I chose to join Longyin because it is the only organization that can often go out of the city to perform tasks."
Wang Long's heart moved, he looked at Zhang Mingyi and said: "You..."
But the other party smiled secretly and said: "Okay, have a good rest tonight and continue on the road tomorrow!"
