Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 265: Black Dragon

No one knew what had happened in the Western Continent. However, everyone listened to Wei Huo’s arrangements. There were many Legendary creatures in the Western Continent. There was no need for them to gather to do everything. They would each lead a team and enter the Western Continent. They would take whatever benefits they could get. However, they had to deal with whatever dangers they encountered as well.

In the end, three routes were determined. Wei Huo would lead one team, Li Hanfeng would lead another, and the three Legendary demons would lead the third team. They set out in three directions and headed to the Western Continent. They had to figure out the situation first. If they encountered any interstellar Zergs, they would kill them along the way. However, if they encountered a Zerg broodmother at level three or above, they would only be able to retreat and send a messenger to inform Wei Huo.

Although the three teams were split into three groups, they could still communicate. If their communication was blocked, the flying demon beasts would deliver the message.

Wei Huo led Zhou Song and Xiao Bin from the west. This time, he did not use Shrinking Earth To An Inch. Instead, he released the rhinoceros, Wei Sha, Wei Ling, and the other pets. They formed a traveling caravan and started moving forward.

Before long, Zhou Song suddenly asked System Number Two, “Are you sure the strongest heritage in the Western Continent is in this direction?”

System Number Two said, “Of course I’m sure. Every continent has its strongest heritage. Kunlun Mountain in the Northern Continent, Mount Olympus in the Western Continent, and the Heaven Ascension Peak in the Central Continent are all just like the cave abodes in the Northern Continent. Many famous places like the giant stone array of the Western Continent and the Lotus Land have a hidden heritage. The hidden heritage in these places is not inferior to that of the Northern Continent. There’s no lack of Legendary and Mythical weapons or magic.”

The group kept moving forward. They planned to find a local guide, but they did not find a single person along the way. Besides, they encountered many burned villages on the way. Large areas of the forest had been burned, and the ground was as dry as if heavenly fire had descended.

System Number Two continued talking about the Northern European myths it knew. It said, “Legend has it that the World Tree can lead to Nibelungs. A Black Dragon named Nidhogg lives under the World Tree. This Black Dragon constantly eats the roots of the World Tree. Once the World Tree collapses, the world will meet its end.”

System Number Two was only talking about Mythical creatures. They did not care much about this topic. However, System Number Two suddenly said, “This is actually a Mythical event. The four continents have Mythical events, but they haven’t been triggered.”

Zhou Song and Xiao Bin were shocked. They knew very well what a Mythical event meant. It was a terrifying matter comparable to a Mythical creature. Legendary creatures were not worth mentioning at the moment.

Wei Huo asked, “Is this a Mythical creature created by the system?”

System Number Two replied, “Of course. It’s at the Mythical stage. Just by relying on its own abilities, it can be considered a genius among geniuses. Even an expert among experts might not become a Mythical creature. That realm is too terrifying. If one becomes a Mythical creature with one’s own strength, one will be invincible in the Solar System.”

Wei Huo led the way forward. Along the way, they saw all sorts of creatures that they could not encounter in the Northern Continent. However, these creatures were not as savage as the creatures in the Northern Continent. They were just like ordinary creatures and were fundamentally different from demons.

An Epic-ranked creature had to be born in the Northern Continent and have its own culture and language. It even had to have its own cultivation method. Only then could it be called a demon.

Some ordinary creatures could not be considered demons, nor could they join the alliance. After all, these ordinary creatures did not even know what an alliance was.

The situation was the same in the Western Continent. Only magical beasts were intelligent and cultured and could speak a language. Otherwise, why would they form an alliance with cows and sheep, who knew nothing?

Unfortunately, Wei Huo did not find any magical beasts along the way. That was weird. It seemed as if the humans and magical beasts in the Western Continent had evaporated.

One day, Wei Huo’s team finally found a dying Western Continent citizen.

It was a dying man from the Western Continent who was lying in a valley. He was still conscious and he could tell that Wei Huo and the others had come. When he saw Wei Huo and the others, he struggled to take out a letter and begged in English, “I’m a messenger. I was attacked by an Earth Dragon Beast while delivering this letter. I’m begging you, help me deliver this letter to the commander. I’m about to die so I can’t complete this quest.”

Fortunately, they had a translation system, so they understood what this person was talking about.

System Number Two said, “This might be a quest. As you guys are players, you have been given a quest. The Crawling Dragon is a low-level monster, but it’s enough to pose a fatal threat to ordinary people.”

Zhou Song went forward and asked, “May I know where the commander is?”

The man did not answer. He only repeated the same sentence. Wei Huo pointed his finger and the wound on the man’s body recovered. Then, the Thinking Lock was removed.

When System Number Two saw this, it said, “He might have a mental breakdown now that the Thinking Lock has been removed.”

Wei Huo said, “That will depend on his willpower.”

The Thinking Lock had made this person believe that he was seriously injured and was about to die. That was why even if he was cured, he would lie there and wail alone until he died.

The person’s expression froze when the Thinking Lock was removed. Then, he hugged his head and roared. He recalled many things. New life values started attacking him crazily, and his worldview collapsed.

The man, who was sweating profusely, mumbled to himself, “Who am I?”

He was about to go crazy. His mind had been attacked, and his brain was a mess.

Ten minutes later, the man calmed down. His back was drenched, and his body was trembling. However, he still chose to face reality.

According to tradition, System Number Two started explaining the world to this person. Although this person was a little absent-minded due to the recent spiritual attack, he still accepted the truth bit by bit.

In the end, the man bowed before Wei Huo and the others. “My name is Greenland. Thank you for saving me. I escaped from the Thinking Lock.”

The translation system started to play its role. If it did not, no one present would understand what this person was talking about. They were not using the same language, and their grammar was worlds apart. Besides, this person spoke English with an accent.

“I’m a Scotsman,” said Greenland.

System Number Two said, “The United Kingdom is made up of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Scots are extraordinary people. They are tough, stubborn, and serious.”

Wei Huo asked, “What happened to this continent?”

Upon seeing Wei Huo and the others’ skin color and hair color, the Scotsman understood. He then replied, “It’s too late. The Black Dragon is destroying the world. It has appeared with endless Dragon soldiers. Both humans and magical beasts will be mercilessly hunted by the dragon race. Everything is over!”
