Chapter 701 Quetzalcoatl
After saying that, he took the city lord and other monsters away from the altar and returned to the city lord's mansion.
They sat around and discussed what had just happened, trying to find the root of the problem.
After some discussion, they decided to suspend the ceremony and wait until the reason was found out before making a decision.
Rodin also put forward his own suggestions. He believed that there might be something wrong with the runes on the altar, or there might be other unknown forces interfering with the ceremony.
After listening to Rodan's suggestion, the city lord and other monsters nodded in agreement.
They decided to do as Lordan suggested and find out the reason before deciding whether to continue with the ceremony.
In the following days, Rodan and the city lord led a group of monsters to explore around the city lord's mansion, trying to find out the source of the unknown power.
They checked the runes on the altar and explored every corner of the city lord's palace, but found nothing unusual.
This made Rodan feel a little confused. He clearly felt the existence of that power, but could not find its source. This made him start to wonder, was his previous perception wrong?
However, just when he was about to give up, he suddenly discovered a hidden secret room in a remote corner of the city lord's palace. There is an ancient scroll placed in the secret room, which records a mysterious ritual and spell.
Rodan looked at the content on the scroll and felt excited in his heart. He speculated that this scroll might be the answer they had been looking for. So, he quickly took the scroll back to the city lord's mansion and studied it with the city lord and other monsters.
After some hard work, they finally unlocked the secret on the scroll. It turns out that the ritual was not used to improve the bloodline, but to summon a powerful monster. And that monster is the ancestor they have always wanted to rescue!
After learning the truth, both Rodan and the city lord were pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect that this scroll would bring them such important information. So, they decided to hold a ceremony immediately to summon the ancestors to come out.
Under the leadership of Rodan, they walked onto the altar again. This time, they did not make any mistakes and the ceremony went smoothly to the end. As the incantation was chanted, a powerful force surged out from the altar, releasing their ancestors from the barrier.
After the ancestor appeared, he looked at Luo Dan, the city lord and others in front of him, with a happy smile on his face. He thanked them for their hard work and dedication, and promised to lead them to a better future together.
After hearing what their ancestor said, Luodan, the city lord and others all felt excited. They know that a new era is coming, and they will become witnesses and participants of this era.

However, he did not delve into it and thought about it secretly in his mind, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble due to temporary curiosity. After all, in this world where the strong are respected, it is better to do less than to do more. Anyway, with the strength of those monsters, no human race is allowed to easily enter their territory, unless the other party has the absolute strength to make them fearful. Thinking of this, Rodan followed the city lord with a steady pace. There was a hint of wariness in his eyes, but he could not hide his curiosity about the unknown.
The city lord seemed to be aware of Luo Dan's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said in an almost soothing tone: "Lord Luo Dan, don't worry, you will definitely gain something from this trip. Although we are monsters, we also know our kindness. We will always remember your help."
Luodan nodded slightly, without saying much, and just followed the steps of the city lord more closely. The two walked through the complicated corridors of the City Lord's Mansion, bypassing the carved and painted buildings, and finally arrived at the back of the mansion. There is a lush back mountain, with birds chirping in the mountains and forests, but it is still quiet, as if it is isolated from the world.
The city lord led Rodan in a familiar way, shuttling between the dense forests. Although the road under his feet was hidden, it was obviously often traveled. He thought that this was the shortcut to that mysterious place. Not long after, they came to an open area, which was completely different from the dense forest just now. The surroundings were open and the sky looked particularly high.
"We're here, Lord Luodan." The city lord stopped, turned around and said to Luodan, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Luo Dan looked around and saw that many monsters had gathered here, at least a dozen. They had different shapes, some were wearing scales, some had wings, but all of them exuded a powerful aura. Obviously very powerful. These monsters were standing or lying down, but their eyes were all focused on the two of them, especially Rodan. As the only human, his appearance undoubtedly attracted the attention of all the monsters.
In the center of this open space, there is a huge formation. The lines of the formation are complex and ancient, as if they contain some unknown power. Above their heads, a whirlpool slowly rotated, and the aura exuding from it was ancient and profound. Luo Dan's heart moved, and there was no doubt that this was the entrance to a certain barrier.
"This is the entrance to the barrier we found, and our ancestors are imprisoned inside." The city lord pointed to the whirlpool above his head and said in a deep voice, "We have tried many times, but we have never been able to open this barrier, let alone bring the old ancestors to prison." The ancestors were rescued.”
Rodan raised his head and stared at the whirlpool. Although he was far away, he could still feel the terrifying power contained in it. It was a power that could almost shake the world and make everything tremble. He couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that once such power was out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.
"City Lord, are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Rodan asked in a serious tone, "If this barrier is opened, once the magical beasts inside lose control, they may endanger countless living beings."
When the city lord heard this, his expression darkened, but then he said firmly: "Lord Lord Luo Dan, of course we understand this truth. But our ancestor is the hope of our monster clan and the source of our strength. As long as we can rescue him, we will Willing to take all risks and will do his best to control the situation and prevent any harm from happening.”
Rodan was silent for a moment. He understood the city lord's mood, but he also knew how ferocious and unpredictable the monsters were. He is by no means a rash person, and he will not easily lead a wolf into his house. However, looking at the city lord's firm eyes and the expectant eyes of the monsters around him, he knew that he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Okay, I will try my best to help you." Rodan finally spoke, with unquestionable determination in his tone, "But we must be fully prepared to ensure that we can control the situation while opening the barrier. Avoid any unnecessary harm."
Upon hearing this, the city lord showed a grateful look on his face. He nodded quickly and said that he would do as Luo Dan asked. In the following time, they began to make intensive preparations, on the one hand to strengthen the stability of the formation, and on the other hand to prepare for various situations that might arise.
Rodan also invested in intense preparations. He used his human wisdom and combined with the power of monsters to formulate a series of careful plans. Not only did they reinforce the surrounding defenses, they also set up a series of traps and obstacles just in case.
Finally, after everything was ready, they gathered in the open space again. Rodan stood in the center of the formation, took a deep breath, and began to recite an ancient mantra. As the spell sounded, the lines on the formation began to flash, emitting a dazzling light.
The vortex above the head also began to rotate violently at this moment, and powerful forces surged out of it, as if it wanted to swallow the entire world. Rodan gritted his teeth and insisted on reciting the incantation. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were extremely determined.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the barrier was successfully opened, and a dazzling light shot out from it, shooting straight into the sky. And that terrifying power was jointly controlled by Rodan and the monsters at this moment, without causing any harm.
The figure of the ancestor slowly walked out of the barrier. He looked at Luodan, the city lord and others in front of him, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He knew that it was the efforts and wisdom of these people that allowed him to regain his freedom. He said softly: "Thank you, my children. With you here, our monster clan will surely have a more glorious future."
Rodan's clenched fists trembled slightly, as if there were thousands of wild horses galloping in his heart, and the urge to destroy everything surged like a tide. But he knew very well that he must not reveal the slightest abnormality at this moment. Any slight emotional fluctuation might arouse the vigilance of the people around him, thus destroying everything he had carefully planned. So, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, let his mind return to calm, and powerfully suppressed the anger and unwillingness that almost overflowed from his chest.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear, as if the storm just now had never existed. Luo Dan moved forward slowly, each step seemed so steady, as if every step was stepping on a node of destiny. His approach caused the monsters who were sitting or lying to open their eyes one after another. It was an instinctive alertness and a unique perception of the strong.
The moment their eyes met Rodan, there seemed to be a subtle change in the air. There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the monsters, and then awe, as if a sleeping part deep in their hearts had been awakened. "Oh my god, I actually saw it..." A burly monster with a metallic luster on its fur whispered. There was disbelief in its voice. "A monster with pure blood, I almost doubt me." Eyes. Am I wrong? It’s a bit too strong!”
"That's right, this strength is really unfathomable." Another monster beast said, its voice trembling slightly, obviously shocked by the aura emanating from Rodan, "At first I thought it was I'm blind. It seems like it's not the case now! How could such an existence appear here?"
"When did the city lord meet such a person?" A seemingly older monster asked curiously, its eyes flashing with inquiring light, "I'm really a little bit curious! Such a strong man, with What is the origin of our city lord?”
The monster beasts were talking one after another. They were either amazed or confused, but without exception, they all showed great interest in Rodan. Soon, they all stood up and saluted to Rodan. It was a kind of instinctive awe for the strong, and it was also recognition of the oppression in Rodan that was stronger than the city lord.
Rodan stood there quietly, letting the monsters' eyes wander over his body. He could feel that there was awe, curiosity, and even some subtle hostility in these eyes. But he didn't care, because he knew that today, he would prove his existence in his own way.
"Everyone," Rodan finally spoke, his voice was calm and deep, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, "I am not as powerful as you think, but I have my own mission and beliefs. I am here to be with you. We face the upcoming challenges together. I believe that only by working together can we overcome all difficulties."
The monsters nodded in agreement after hearing this. They could feel the sincerity and determination in Luodan's words, and saw his indomitable spirit. So, they began to take this suddenly appeared strong man more seriously, and looked forward to the day when they would fight side by side with Luodan.
In the following days, Luodan trained and fought with the monsters, and the tacit understanding and trust between them gradually deepened. Luodan won the respect and trust of the monsters with his wisdom and courage; and the monsters became Luodan's strongest backing with their loyalty and strength.
In this process, Luodan gradually understood the world of the monsters and the difficulties they faced. He knew that only by truly understanding these monsters could he better help them and better fulfill his mission.
So, Luodan began to integrate more deeply into the world of the monsters. He lived with them, fought with them, and even shared happiness and sadness with them. In this process, he not only gained friendship and trust, but also found the true home of his heart.
Finally, on that decisive day, Luodan fought side by side with the monsters and faced the seemingly invincible enemy together. In the fierce battle, Luodan showed amazing strength and wisdom. He led the monsters to break through the enemy's defenses again and again and finally won the victory.
At that moment, the monsters cheered and jumped for joy. They were proud of Luodan's bravery and wisdom, and proud of their own choices and persistence. Luodan stood in the center of the battlefield, looking at the monsters who fought side by side with him, his heart full of gratitude and satisfaction.
He knew that he had not only completed his mission, but also found his true home. Here, he and the monsters created miracles one after another and wrote a legendary story of his own. And all of this stems from the decision to suppress inner emotions and power to suppress impulses-to come to this world full of challenges and opportunities. (End of this chapter)
