NOVEL WEB Chapter 230: Fire Dragon King Jia Lin
The Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle is a divine artifact of the Fire God, a first-level god. Among the seven elemental gods, the Fire God's destructive power undoubtedly ranks at the top, which shows the might of the Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle. (Douluo 4)
During the Dragon God War, the gods of humanity and the dragon race clashed in a divine war, and this artifact fell into the hands of the dragon race during that time, eventually being lost in the Dragon Valley.
Originally, this artifact would have been unearthed by the people of the Heavenly Dragon Star when the Dragon Valley was transferred there in the future, but since Huo Yuhao knew of its existence, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
After all, in terms of compatibility, this artifact is highly compatible with him. Now that he has achieved the fusion of ice and fire, the fire element is one of the elements he has mastered the best.
However, this artifact is different from the Dragon God's Dragon Soul and the Dragon God's Heart. Those two things are like the rulers in the eyes of ordinary dragon souls, derived from the Dragon God.
As long as a dragon soul senses the pressure of these two things, their most profound memories will lead them to where these two are located. It would only take a little time to find them.
But the Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle is different. In the eyes of dragon souls, it is worthless and has nothing to do with their dragon race. Unless a dragon soul has come into close contact with it, finding it in the Dragon Valley would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
After searching the Dragon Valley for ten days, the two of them found no clues about the Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle. Fortunately, they discovered many dragon clouds, dragon bones, and dragon souls along the way, so it wasn't a complete loss.
The dragon clouds and dragon souls were absorbed by them, turning into their own reserves, while the dragon bones were casually buried by them. With their strength, digging a hole to bury the dragon bones was just a thought.
But continuing like this wasn't a solution. Just as Gu Yuena was about to suggest that Huo Yuhao temporarily give up on this target and switch to another, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped on the path, and a black-class mecha appeared beside him.
Gu Yuena looked at this scene in confusion, "Yuhao, did your mecha find something?"
Not long after entering, Huo Yuhao had released the black-class mecha he had developed.
This black-class mecha was equipped with a high-level energy detection soul guide, which could assist them in finding high-energy targets.
However, unless under special circumstances, the energy of a divine artifact like the Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle should be internalized, not much different from those dragon bones with inherent power. So far, the energy detection soul guide had not found anything.
So why did Huo Yuhao summon the black-class mecha now?
"The life detection device suddenly reacted," Huo Yuhao replied with interest, "and it's not far away."
Mechas and ships are generally equipped with life detection devices, as detecting life signs in the vast sea or unknown territories is an important means of ensuring safety.
But in this silent Dragon Valley, the life detection device suddenly reacting was obviously extremely unusual.
"Life reaction?"
Gu Yuena slightly frowned, her eyes scanning the surroundings. The Dragon Valley is the burial ground of the dragon race, and aside from the lingering dragon souls, there should be no living beings here.
Huo Yuhao controlled the mecha, projecting the detection data into the air. On the virtual screen, a faint but steady life signal was coming from a distance, about three kilometers away.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena was somewhat surprised.
The detection range of the life detection device is ten kilometers, but it only reacted at such a close distance. This was not right.
Gu Yuena pondered, "Did those evil soul masters send someone in again?"
From the mouths of that evil soul master and the Evil Eye Tyrant, they had learned a lot of information. The evil soul masters would send people into the Dragon Valley periodically to exploit the resources here.
If they had entered, it could explain the current situation.
But Huo Yuhao shook his head, "The life reaction is very weak, like an unborn child."
Gu Yuena was stunned, and she exchanged a glance with him, a thought rising in her heart.
"Could it be... a dragon egg?"
Huo Yuhao smiled without speaking. He had already guessed what it was. Without saying more, he immediately controlled the mecha to move towards the source of the life signal. Gu Yuena followed closely, her silver hair fluttering in the wind, her purple eyes flickering with anticipation and nervousness.
If there really was a dragon egg left behind, it would mean, the bloodline of the dragon race was not yet extinct!
As the distance shortened, the reaction of the life detection device became stronger and stronger, but strangely, the surrounding environment became more and more silent, even the low murmurs of the dragon souls disappeared, as if this area was isolated by some kind of power.
Finally, they arrived in front of a rock wall surrounded by huge dragon bones. Below the rock wall, there was a narrow crack, and the life signal was coming from within.
...
Darkness.
Eternal darkness.
She didn't know how long she had been asleep, perhaps ten thousand years, perhaps a hundred thousand years.
In the long years, she could only vaguely sense the outside world, the drifting dragon souls, the remnants of dragon power, and... the skeleton that had always protected her.
It was her mother's remains.
In the era when the dragons fell, she had been nurtured by her mother. Even after her mother died, her remains still protected her with the last of her dragon power, allowing her to survive in the dragon egg.
But she was too weak.
Her mother had passed away, and the remains were gradually losing their power. She could only fall into a deeper, longer sleep.
Occasionally, she would dream.
In her dreams, she saw dragons soaring in the sky, the Dragon God ruling over all realms, the glorious civilization of the dragon race... but in an instant, everything turned into a battlefield of blood and fire, the dragons fell, and the heavens and earth mourned.
She wanted to wake up, to break out of the shell, to see this world with her own eyes...
But every attempt only made her weaker.
So, she could only continue to sleep, waiting for an opportunity that might never come.
Until... today.
Two unfamiliar auras suddenly intruded into this silent place.
She was startled awake, no, not fully awake, but her nearly stagnant life force trembled violently for the first time!
Someone... is approaching? Who is it?
She wanted to sense the outside world, but the shell prevented her, and she could only vaguely sense those two auras—
One was like the bright moonlight, cold yet vast, and the aura similar to the Dragon God made her bloodline instinctively tremble.
After all, she was of the pure Fire Dragon King bloodline, inherited from the Fire Dragon King, a god-king level being. No dragon bloodline other than the Dragon God could suppress her.
This aura... could it be the Silver Dragon King?
But what puzzled her more was the other aura. She actually felt a bloodline aura of the same origin from it, and she couldn't help but feel a desire to get closer.
In this era, how could there still be a pure Fire Dragon King bloodline? And... her own kin?
Although she had not yet hatched, the inherited memories of the dragon race and the Dragon Valley were already imprinted in her soul.
Similar to Gu Yuena when she was first born, but without enough experience. She knew that the dragon race had long since fallen, and apart from the two halves of the Dragon God, she might be the last of the dragon race.
But what was this situation now? Was he here for her?
She wanted to break free from the shell, to see them with her own eyes, to call out to them... but she was too weak, unable to even make a sound.
(Don't go...)
(Please... find me...)
Perhaps her prayers worked, as the two auras came closer and closer, and excited voices reached her ears.
"Yuhao, it's the aura of the Fire Dragon King bloodline. It's a descendant of the Fire Dragon King lineage, and it's still alive!"
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena, who was beaming with joy, and a warm smile appeared on his lips.
Since entering the Dragon Valley, Gu Yuena's spirits had been low, but now that they had found a surviving dragon, her mood had clearly improved.
"It's lacking life energy and some power to break out of the shell. Leave it to me."
Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the dragon egg and slowly raised his right hand. A cluster of life energy from the Life Gold appeared in his palm, and he infused it into the dragon egg.
"Let's do it together."
Gu Yuena shook her head, and the power of creation was also sent into the dragon egg.
Huo Yuhao watched as the dragon egg gradually radiated a dazzling light under the nourishment of the dual energies, his eyes deepening.
Dragon Valley, Fire Dragon King lineage, dragon egg.
These characteristics clearly told him some information and indicated that this dragon egg was the target of his trip to the Dragon Valley—
The sole inheritor of the Fire Dragon King lineage, Fire Dragon King Jia Lin! (Douluo 4)
She was a true dragon with potential not inferior to Di Tian!
According to the original development, the Dragon Valley small plane would stay on the Douluo Star for a while, and after finding that there was no soil for the dragon race to grow, it would be transferred to the Heavenly Dragon Star to release dragon power, transforming the races there into dragons.
Jia Lin would also get the chance to be born, but she would soon be discovered by the people of the Heavenly Dragon Star. Still weak, she could only join the Heavenly Dragon Star and reach some agreements with Zhang Chujia, who discovered her.
Later, her bloodline was coveted, and Zhang Chujia extracted part of it and infused it into herself and her descendants, gaining the power of the Crimson Gold Profound Flame. But Zhang Chujia found that she and her descendants still didn't obtain the power of immortality, so she forced Jia Lin to marry her child, becoming her son's wife and mount...
In such a situation, it was obviously impossible to expect Jia Lin to unleash her full potential.
But even so, she still reached the peak of the super god level, the peak of the first-level god without a god position, after ten thousand years, and it was clear that she still hadn't exhausted her potential.
From this, it can be seen that she is a potential stock that could become a half-step god king, or even achieve god king status.
If he and Gu Yuena were in a hostile relationship, then naturally, he wouldn't care about Jia Lin. But under the current circumstances, letting her sleep in the Dragon Valley would be their loss.
With the help of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, the being inside the dragon egg gained the power to break out of the shell, and the cracks on the surface of the dragon egg became more and more numerous. A dazzling light burst from the cracks, accompanied by the crisp sound of the shell breaking.
"It's about to hatch."
The two of them held their breath in unison, watching the birth of this new life. When the last piece of the shell fell off, a small, tender figure was finally fully revealed before them.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Contrary to expectations, what emerged from the shell was not a baby dragon, but a little girl about five or six years old. She curled up in the shattered shell, her long hair like flames falling down, with sparks still dancing at the tips.
To be able to take human form right after hatching... should we say, as expected of the descendant of a god king?
But Huo Yuhao wasn't too surprised.
Based on his observations, the energy level of that dragon egg at its peak should have been that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. From this perspective, treating this girl as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that has taken human form to cultivate again would be appropriate...
The little girl adjusted to her body and stood up. Seeing this, Gu Yuena lightly tapped her finger, and the surrounding shell fragments turned into streams of light that flowed into the girl's body, forming an exquisite little red dress on her.
She stood barefoot on the ground, her small toes slightly curled, seemingly not yet accustomed to the human form.
But she still stubbornly looked up at Gu Yuena, her golden vertical pupils filled with awe and attachment.
"I am Jia Lin of the Fire Dragon King lineage, Silver Dragon King, thank you for coming to save me..."
Hearing the little girl's clear words and understanding that she had inherited a lot of knowledge, a hint of relief flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and she smiled and responded to her.
After receiving a response, Jia Lin then turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao, a look of hesitation on her small face, "Thank you, are you also a member of our lineage?"
When she was inside, her perception wasn't very clear, but now that she was out, she found that Huo Yuhao's aura seemed to be related to both the Fire and Water Dragon King lineages, and even close to the Silver Dragon King's aura, which puzzled her.
"No."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, summoning the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul to his side, and crouched down to meet Jia Lin's gaze:
"My name is Huo Yuhao, I am not a pure-blooded dragon like you."
His fingertips suddenly flickered with a cluster of ice-blue flames and a cluster of golden flames, and he called the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul closer, "But I have indeed received gifts from the Fire and Water Dragon King lineages."
"You can regard Yuhao as an elder."
Seeing that Jia Lin still looked puzzled, Gu Yuena added from the side, "Seeing him is like seeing me, understand?"
Jia Lin blinked her big golden eyes, a thoughtful expression on her little face. She carefully examined Huo Yuhao, then looked at Gu Yuena, and nodded solemnly.
"I understand, Silver Dragon King. I will serve both of you well."
Gu Yuena smiled with satisfaction, but at that moment, Jia Lin's stomach suddenly growled.
She immediately blushed, her small hands hurriedly covering her stomach.
Breaking out of the shell had consumed too much energy, and she was now lacking energy.
In other words, she was hungry...
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle, taking out some snacks, "Hungry? Want some?"
Jia Lin's eyes lit up instantly, like a little greedy cat staring at the snacks in Huo Yuhao's hand. Seeing Huo Yuhao's gentle gaze, she grabbed the snacks and stuffed them into her mouth, her eyes instantly narrowing into a line of happiness.
Gu Yuena stood by, watching Jia Lin eat the snacks while tentatively snuggling into Huo Yuhao's embrace, her little head resting on his arm, and suddenly felt an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.
Those snacks... were hers, right?
Huo Yuhao looked at the girl in his arms, understanding that this little one who had just come into the world instinctively regarded him, who possessed the Fire Dragon King's aura, as her closest kin.
Although she had inherited the memories of the dragon race and seemed like a little adult, she was still just a child.
This made Huo Yuhao think of someone, and he smiled as he looked at Gu Yuena, "Na'er, doesn't she remind you of yourself in the past?"
