Chapter 599 Dragon Lizard Prophet
The dark cave deep in the cracks of the Duoken Mountains is the ancestral land where the Dragon Blood Lizards have lived for more than 100,000 years.
Just when Ji Xun and his team received the invitation to negotiate, several elders of the Lizards gathered in the ancient temple in the cave and held a high-level meeting.
"Chief Morey, why did you suddenly invite the leader of the rebels to negotiate? Haven't we already decided not to help each other? Or do you really intend to let them pass through our territory?"
"We'd better not provoke those humans. If we let them go, Silver Wind City and the Red Dragon Royal Family will hold this account against us. It's not a good thing for our dragon lizards."
"Yes, Morey. We rejected the plan of the Lord of Silver Wind City to ambush and kill them together before, just because we don't want to provoke those human rebels. After all, there are too many of them. Even if we really join forces with Silver Wind City to ambush and kill their leader, the nearly one million legions will definitely vent their anger of revenge on our dragon lizards. And I've learned that this rebel army is not as evil as rumored. Not helping each other is the best choice."
"."
In the temple, several lizard elders discussed the news they had just received fiercely, and they were also very confused.
They couldn't understand why the chief suddenly changed his mind about neutrality.
Moreover, without going through the Council of Elders, they sent a negotiation invitation to the human rebels.
This may be an important decision that will affect the future fate of their dragon lizard clan, and the elders dare not be careless.
Seeing the elders getting more and more excited, the old lizard man with a red flame totem on his forehead only said one sentence: "This is the instruction of the prophet."
As soon as these words came out, the huge temple suddenly became quiet.
The elders looked at each other, but no one said anything more. Instead, they calmed down instantly and fell into deep thought.
"The prophet" is the most special existence in their dragon lizard clan, and also the longest-lived clan member.
It's so long that even the elders don't know when the prophet was born, they only remember that he seems to be as old as the history of the dragon lizard clan.
In the memory of each generation of elders, he is a kind and wise elder.
The mysterious elder has used prophecies to guide the entire dragon lizard clan to survive crises many times.
He is also the most authoritative spiritual leader of the entire dragon lizard clan.
Even the clan leader Morey didn't understand why the prophet would issue such an instruction.
That's why he convened this elders' meeting to convey this news.
Looking at the elders who took the opportunity, Morey said again: "The prophet also said that the fire demon sealed underground is about to escape, and this place is no longer suitable for our dragon lizards to survive. In the prophecy, he saw that our tribe would migrate to a faraway place."
On the other side.
Since he decided to contact the underground dragon lizards, Ji Xun did not delay.
He, Qin Rushi, and Gong Wu set out on the journey to the underground to participate in the negotiations.
There were also three disciples, Darcy, Isabel and David, traveling together.
Ji Xun's current strength can fully protect them, not to mention that good seedlings also need wind and rain to grow, and it's good to see the world.
The most important thing is that he doesn't think there is any danger in this negotiation.
Even if there is an unexpected danger, Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Gong Wu will be able to solve almost all problems together.
They couldn't solve it, hiding in the base camp, and still couldn't solve it.
On the way, the atmosphere of the six-member negotiation team was not tense, but rather light-hearted.
The three little guys were taken to participate in such an important negotiation for the first time, and they were more or less excited to go deep into the enemy's lair.
They walked and talked all the way.
"If I were those lizardmen, it would be unlikely to ambush at the negotiation table. After all, if they really had to do it, the Crypt Dragon Lizard Clan would inevitably suffer a devastating blow. They have no reason to do this."
"Yeah. But since you don't plan to ambush us, why did you refuse to borrow the road yesterday and change your mind today?"
"Who knows. Darcy, what do you think?"
"I think it should be something we didn't expect."
"Stupid Darcy, don't you think you just said nonsense?"
"."
Ji Xun listened to the discussion of the three little guys and smiled without saying a word.
He didn't think Darcy was talking nonsense, on the contrary, this might be the hypothesis that was closest to the truth.
There are fifty laws of the universe, forty-nine are ordered, and one is disordered.
Even the motives of the lizardmen that Ji Xun could not reasonably explain in his deductions are likely to have triggered one of the disorders in the laws of the universe.
For example, prophecy.
Although the prophecy is about things that will inevitably happen in the future.
But people who are proficient in prophecy often make some decisions that are inconsistent with the laws of the current things through the future they see.
This will make the deduction of "I am the world" wrong.
There are also special situations like Ji Xun's previous time travel, or the intervention of divine power. And so on.
Ji Xun has seen records of the dragon blood lizard tribe in the Too Many Gnawing Mountains in the classics. They have a very ancient history, even older than the three royal families of Arel.
However, the tribe has always been small.
Except for the occasional young lizardmen going out for training, there is no other news.
It is a rare dragon race that has almost nothing to do with any major historical events. It is very low-key and mysterious.
When Ji Xun was studying at the Royal Academy, he met a lizard tribe named Seri and had a good relationship with him.
Ji Xun was not sure what kind of situation the "uncertainty" in this deduction meant.
But that was why he became more curious.
At his current level, the situation that he could not deduce was most likely touching on those ancient secrets.
Just as he was thinking, the six people had arrived at the entrance of a dark cave, which was the meeting place specified in the letter.
Ji Xun clearly sensed that as soon as they arrived, several pairs of surveillance eyes appeared around them.
Gong Wu on the side also raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously sensing some "qi".
But there was no malice, and he also drooped his eyelids and ignored it.
Compared with the nervousness of the three little guys, Ji Xun and the other two were very calm. They looked normal and waited quietly.
After a long while, it seemed that the lizardmen in the dark confirmed that there were no other people, and footsteps were heard from the depths of the cave.
Looking closely, it was three lizardmen wearing leather armor who walked out cautiously with their big tails.
The leader looked about the sixth level, and his strength was not weak.
The Dragon Blood Lizards are gifted magicians, and there are also a small number of warriors.
They looked at their leader Qin Rushi and said, "You follow me."
The tone was not enthusiastic, nor was there any hostility.
Qin Rushi listened and said nothing more, and followed him in without hesitation.
The cave was very dark, and there was no light source except for the faint light of some luminous plants.
This is the favorite living environment for cave dwellers, and the complex maze-like tunnels are a natural protection for outsiders.
Once there is no guidance from the lizards, it is almost easy to get lost if you rush in.
This is also the reason why the rebels did not dare to force their way in before.
However, for Ji Xun, the complex tunnels were meaningless.
He clearly remembered every fork in the road, and even distinguished those hidden sensory interference restrictions.
After walking for a long time, it seemed that they had gone down a few thousand meters below the cave.
They knew that they were approaching the core area of the Dragon Lizards.
As they walked, the elemental power in the air around them gradually became thicker.
It was even thicker than the Warcraft Forest.
Ji Xun looked at Qin Ru and exchanged glances. This was a bit similar to the last time they went to the Dead Zone.
This kind of rich elemental power gathered underground. There was basically only one possibility, that is, there was a treasure here.
It seemed that the rumor was more and more likely to be true. There seemed to be a [Lava Heart] formed after the death of a god underground.
However, what surprised Ji Xun a little was that most of the dragon lizards seemed to be unaware of their coming this time.
There was no sign of an ambush.
The reason for the choice was that this road had obviously no footprints for a long time, and it looked more like a "secret passage".
Seeing this, Ji Xun was almost completely certain that this was not an ambush by the lizards and Silver Wind City.
He was even more curious about what these lizards were going to do.
The six people went down all the way.
Ji Xun sensed that they should have left the residential area where a lot of "qi" gathered and walked deeper into the cave.
Not long after, they walked out of the dark tunnel and their vision suddenly became clear.
In front of them was a temple.
Even Ji Xun had never expected to see such a magnificent temple underground.
It was as large as four or five football fields.
The temple was filled with an indescribable mysterious atmosphere, which was the historical weight of time.
"Obsidian" is a magical material as precious as "mithril".
And in front of him were dozens of huge stone pillars made of obsidian, supporting the entire temple.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar released this novel for the first time.
For the card master, the visual impact was no less than seeing a temple built entirely of gold.
The torches on the wall occasionally flickered, reflecting the strange creature statues and ancient runes carved on the obsidian pillars.
These runes and statues exuded a weak but continuous elemental light, which was not only a decoration, but also a part of the magic circle that protected the temple.
Temples are not just buildings for worshiping gods, but sometimes they are seals used to suppress extraordinary powers.
Ji Xun has seen many temples.
The three little guys behind him were already shocked by the scene in front of them, and their faces immediately showed alertness.
Because this is the best forbidden space.
It is also the best place for an ambush.
Even Qin Rushi looked at Ji Xun beside him with an uncertain look, as if asking: Do you understand?
When their eyes met, Ji Xun's mouth slightly raised a relaxed arc, indicating that it was okay.
Seeing this, Qin Rushi and Gong Wu's faintly restless fighting spirit also hid.
Lizard language and dragon language also overlap to a large extent. Ji Xun's knowledge allowed him to read the meaning of those runes.
For him at present, he can understand most of this temple.
The functions of those ancient runes are mostly sealing and energy conversion.
Although there are some offensive runes, they are all ancient devices with a defensive nature.
Moreover, the element concentration of this temple is also the most concentrated place along the way, and Ji Xun's thoughts in his mind have also deduced a complete logic.
This temple is the fundamental reason why the underground elements of the dragon lizard clan are abnormally concentrated.
The energy source is sealed under the temple. Even if it is not the [Lava Heart], it is probably some special area like the Rainbow Spring.
There are many such secret places in the southern continent, so it is not surprising.
What surprised Ji Xun was that there was no record in the classics that there was such a secret place in the Duoqian Mountains.
Moreover, when the Lizard Clan brought them here, they really didn’t treat them like outsiders.
Ji Xun didn't feel hostility, but instead felt an inexplicable trust.
There are also several older lizard tribesmen in black robes in the temple, who seem to have been waiting for a long time.
Before Ji Xun and the others could think too much, the captain who led them in introduced them: "Those are the Morey clan leaders and elders of our dragon lizard clan."
Ji Xun took a look and saw that the clan leader was at the eighth level, and several elders were also at the seventh and eighth level.
Although they don't look like ninth level, compared to the number of dragon lizards, the proportion of top experts is already scary.
It seems that in addition to bloodline, it is also directly related to the environment of this cave.
It looked like it was really a negotiation between the leaders, and the Lizard Clan didn't even have a basic pomp.
Of course Ji Xun and the others don't mind.
Qin Rushi walked up and introduced his identity in the common language of the Southern Continent.
The lizard leader named Morey seemed to have experience in the human world and was very familiar with the etiquette of human nobles.
He introduced himself in return, invited a few people to sit on the stone benches in front of the altar, and praised a few people for their courage in attending the appointment.
After all, normally speaking, no matter how strong Qin Ruzhi and Gong Wu were, with just a few of them, there would be almost no chance of survival if they were ambushed.
Elder Morey was very polite: "We, the dragon lizard clan, have no intention of conflict with your army, so we invite the leader to come and communicate in person some misunderstandings that may not have been clearly expressed in the communication."
Qin Ru listened silently, nodding from time to time and saying a few official responses.
Of course she understood the previous memories. These burrowing dragon lizards intended to be neutral and did not want to take advantage of them.
When we talked face to face, the other party's tone did sound much more polite, but he never said anything about agreeing to borrow the passage.
This made Qin Rushi very confused. If they don't borrow the way and don't fight, what do these guys mean?
Ji Xun on the side was also puzzled. He had been observing these lizard clan elders and the surroundings, but still could not find any trace of a conspiracy.
Instead, he saw a kind of curiosity in the expressions of these old lizard men.
The other party seemed to be curious about what these humans looked like.
This made Ji Xun confused as to what these guys were going to do.
When the other party finished speaking, Qin Ru had no intention of wasting time, and said directly: "We have no intention of embarrassing the nobles, we just want to pass through the mountains. But Chief Morey should know that there are only two roads on the abyss. "
The tone was as tough as a general should be.
She wanted to ask the other party to express his position directly to see if she could use it as an excuse.
Hearing this, Chief Morey seemed to have not made up his mind, and a strange expression flashed across his expression: "We can talk about this later, but before that, I have to explain the reason for inviting the leader to come here this time. reason."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and the other six people all looked away.
Now after meeting face to face, they can also see that this negotiation does not seem to be the decision made by the lizard clan leader.
This made them even more curious. Could there be someone else behind this lizard tribe?
Patriarch Morey didn't give them any time to think, and said bluntly: "The 'Prophet' wants to see you."
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became quiet.
prophet?
When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Although he didn't know that there was a prophet in the dragon lizard clan.
But just by hearing this title, he seemed to understand the source of all these doubts in his mind.
It was really in response to Darcy's previous conjecture that an unexpected situation occurred.
Looking at the situation, Ji Xun understood that sentence. It was probably the prophet of the lizard tribe who had a glimpse of the future, and then chose to negotiate with the leaders this time.
The general explanation of prophet in human classics is: a person who understands the laws of the universe.
They usually master prophecy, divination, clairvoyance, channeling, weaving destiny, etc., which are extraordinary abilities beyond normal human perception.
Ji Xun now has a glimpse of the power of the rules of the universe, and has a more accurate understanding of the abilities of the extraordinary profession of prophet.
Well. If the timeline of the past, present, and future is regarded as a storybook, then the essence of prophecy is to allow certain characters in the book to briefly rise from the storybook and glimpse the past and future through the reader's eyes.
Most of these glimpses are vague fragments, such as a major flood, disaster, plague, etc. that will occur in the future.
But enough for them to make the appropriate decision.
Ji Xun suddenly realized that some of the scenes predicted by the "prophet" might be related to him.
Prophecies are often affected by circumstances and a number of other factors.
Before Ji Xun came, the lizard tribe remained absolutely neutral. After he came, they invited him.
This is no coincidence.
Qin Rushi and Gong Wu on the side couldn't figure out what these lizard people were going to do.
The three of them looked at each other and had the same idea.
Come here, no matter what the situation, of course you have to go and see it.
