Chapter 501 Selfless Dragon Valley?
Lu Chen slowly descended from the sky and landed next to Eryi. The dragon scales on his body gradually faded away, and he was released from the fighting state.
But if the elves and moon wolves were purely cheering, then the eyes of the dragons in mid-air were filled with awe.
After so many years, no one has reached that realm again. Even though he was blessed with secret spells from the royal family of the elves just now, the man's original strength is unquestionable.
"Go and see how Elder Alex is doing!"
One of the giant dragons came back to their senses and remembered that Alex had just fallen from the sky and hit the edge of the forest in the distance. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Lu Chen held Hui Liyi's hand and immediately communicated with her through the team channel to confirm the status of the mission.
After receiving feedback from Eriki, he felt relieved that his survival mission was completed.
At this moment, the main missions of Lu Chen and Eryi were updated at the same time.
[It is detected that the Pioneer has completed all branches of the second ring of the main mission and starts the final ring mission. 】
[The final ring of the main mission: Source Secret]

Eriri's main mission also opens the final stage, which is complementary to his mission.
[The final ring of the main mission: the epic side]
Mission content: Help Duke Godzilla obtain the Source Stone and cut off the connection between the Abyss and the Aika Continent.
Mission Difficulty: DifficultDeath
Success reward: inheritance crystal large*2, qualification for return
Failure penalty: -1 point for three random main attributes, forced return
Task time limit: 6 natural months.
After Lu Chen thought for a while, he roughly understood what the source stone was. It should be something similar to the world core of the dragon world. It was the root secret of this world and the source of the connection between the abyss and the Aika continent.
As long as I can get the Boundary Source Stone, I am afraid that the world exploration rate can reach more than 50%, and the space can accommodate the world.
But this time he did not receive any more reminders about the World Origin Stone. It must be somewhat different from the World Core that he received as a reward for killing Nidhogg. By conquering the world in this way, he would not be able to obtain the Aika Continent. Rights of use.
However, Lu Chen was not disappointed. In fact, the dragon world was very developable, and he was very content with this world.
With his current strength, there may still be hope for obtaining the Jie Yuan Stone, but it may not be realistic to completely penetrate the abyss.
After all, as a pioneer, he has great advantages in the battle for the world, but in this kind of world, there are actually disadvantages.
The Origin Space may have put himself into a more difficult world to obtain better reward items for the sake of developing his strength, but he was limited by his rank and was already struggling.
For example, even if he has free attribute points, he cannot be strengthened. Even if he completes this advanced task and becomes a second-level pioneer, with one authority plus one, the peak level of enhancement is only that of a third-level explorer, which is still 70 points. top.
And the enemies he has to face now have all reached the level of fifth level. Even if he tries his best to overcome the 100-point chasm, he can't overcome it.
At first, he thought that space would allow him to sweep through some worlds that second- and third-level explorers should go to, so that he could easily penetrate them with his strength, but now it seems that the meaning of space is difficult to figure out.
It's as if he is eager to improve his strength, and is even willing to give up some low-level worlds that are "at his fingertips" and invest himself in more difficult worlds.
Lu Chen faced his own bottleneck. His foundation was too low, and he was inferior compared to the fourth-level explorers. He relied solely on life-burning bursts to fight, which was not a long-term solution after all.
He didn't know if there was a solution in the origin space, but if not, he hoped that the next world would be simpler, and at least let him transition to the fourth level first.
And for some reason, he always felt that Space actually "didn't want" him to rely on attribute points for strengthening and improvement. Is there any difference between the power strengthened through space attribute points and the power brought by the improvement of his bloodline?
"Duke Godzilla, thank you for your help. Although humans are not welcome in our Aisil Forest, you are an exception today."
The Elf Queen spoke, interrupting Lu Chen's thoughts. At this time, the stern queen showed a rare smile, obviously in a good mood.
Of course she was in a good mood, her daughter did not misjudge the man, and the originally unsolvable crisis was eliminated.
The fall of the Lord of the Abyss is a great thing that should be celebrated by the whole world. This is a great victory that has never happened in the history of the Aika continent.
"Thank you Queen for the invitation, but there are still some things that need to be dealt with."
After Lu Chen said this, he looked to the other side and saw a giant dragon flying from a distance carrying Alex.
"Duke Godzilla, you are too cruel."
There was anger hidden in the words of the giant dragon. The keel from Alex's back was stepped on and folded in half, and she was dying.
Lu Chen was also a little surprised. Alex, as one of the giants of the Dragon Clan, was stronger than Nidhogg in his perception. Each main attribute was close to 100 points, which was an absolute world boss level.
But he didn't expect that he was almost trampled to death just by using it as a pedal.
He was so absorbed in fighting before that he didn't really feel the power behind the boundary. Now it seems that it's just beyond two points, and it's no longer the same dimension.
Of course Alex was prepared and tensed up, but she was still stepped on.
"Els, shut up."
Alex's voice was weak, stopping her junior's impulse.
In Erls' view, he thought it was Duke Godzilla avenging his personal revenge, so he took such cruel measures.
But Alex, as a peak expert, naturally understood that this was entirely due to the huge power gap, and Duke Godzilla had no ill intentions.
Even if there is resentment against it, if it can kill the Lord of the Abyss, then it will feel that its death is worth it. This is a victory that has never been seen in the mainland.
"But elder..."
The dragons in Ers had tears in their eyes. The dragons were not good at healing spells. Even if they were strong, they would obviously be unable to recover after being completely trampled in half.
The only people here who are good at healing are the elves, and they have just started a war with the elves. Regardless of whether the elves are willing or not, the arrogance of the dragons cannot bow to the elves.
"Thank you for taking the last shot."
Lu Chen's voice was calm, and he was a little surprised by Alex's attitude.
"Of course I have to take action. This is the best opportunity for the Aika continent. I have lived for more than nine thousand years, and it will be worthwhile if I can make some contributions to the continent before I die."
Alex asked Else to put it down and lay on the ground panting.
Lu Chen looked sideways at the huge red dragon.
"Why, you, a human-dragon hybrid child, seem to be surprised?"
Alex said slowly.
Seeing Lu Chen's silence, it sighed and continued: "Aren't you surprised why you can still live till now?"
Lu Chen was a little confused and didn't know what the other party was referring to.
"You killed Ige. Maybe when you were young, you thought that our Dragon Clan was afraid of your strong army and power, so you swallowed your anger. But the strength of Dragon Valley is far beyond the imagination of the world. Do you really think that we are incapable of revenge?"
Alex asked rhetorically.
Lu Chen frowned slightly, maybe things were different from what he thought.
In Duke Godzilla's memory, very few dragons were born in Dragon Nest. From the information his father got from his mother, he only knew that there were thousands of giant dragons in Dragon Nest.
He once thought that someone like Iger was the only supreme being in the Dragon Clan, but now it seems that is not the case. At least Alex is stronger than Iger, and listening to what the other party said before, there are several elders like her in the Dragon Clan. So much.
With such strength, it doesn't take a few dragon elders to lead a dragon army. Hundreds of giant dragons like today are enough to attack the Great Wall and kill Duke Godzilla.
Under the blitz battle, with the top experts of the Dragon Clan in front, they would not suffer any casualties at all.
But the Dragon Clan didn't do this.
"you?"
Before Lu Chen finished thinking, Alex made a confused sound and looked at Eri Yi.
Because Eriyi raised her staff and released a healing spell towards Alex, which was currently healing the serious injuries in her body.
The dragons and elves in the sky all showed puzzled looks, but Eriki just smiled softly, "We are all creatures of the Aika continent, why do we want to kill each other? Our real enemy is only the north."
The dragons all looked sideways at the elf girl, who seemed to be surrounded by holy light.
Lu Chen didn't say anything about Eri Yi's behavior. As long as the Dragon Clan didn't cause trouble, there was no need for him to confront the Dragon Nest. Besides, without Alex as the last pedal, he still couldn't break through the last layer of blood barrier. .
"What a good boy... ugh."
Alex looked at Eri Yi and sighed inexplicably.
"You mean, the Dragon Clan let me go?"
Lu Chen replied to Alex's words just now, feeling that things were a little different from what he originally thought.
"It's not that we let you go. Of course Dragon Nest was angry about Egg's death, and the crowd was also excited about your behavior, but it eventually subsided."
Alex recalled, "Even though our prophecy said that you would bring disaster to the dragon clan, we didn't kill you as a baby back then."
Lu Chen was completely fascinated by this. He said in a low voice, "Don't you feel guilty because you forced my mother to death?"
Alex's body recovered a little, and she cast a grateful look at Eriki and continued: "Who said we forced your mother to death?"
Lu Chen searched in Duke Godzilla's memory, "My father..."
"Your father? King of Valor? Did he see it with his own eyes?"
Alex's tone was calm, "As the saying goes, the dragon must still be alive to gain leverage. Don't you humans understand this? Just like little Sera back then..."
It looked quietly and sighed, "The combination of humans and dragons is indeed a taboo and a shame, but no one has ever broken this commandment with a dragon. Little Sera only heard about one of the prophecies, knowing that you will bring guidance to the dragon clan. Faced with disasters and losses, and thinking that she had violated a taboo, she committed suicide on the first day she returned to Dragon Valley before being tried, leaving her last words asking Dragon Valley not to harm her children."
There was helplessness in its eyes, "But in fact, we had no intention of killing you in the first place, and the preliminary punishment for little Sera was only to be imprisoned for a hundred years and not allowed to meet the King of Brave Warriors for life."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, what is this? The trial has not yet been held and he committed suicide in advance?
Wasn't the mother of Duke Godzilla's original body too impulsive and strong?
But he felt there was something wrong with Alex's words, "Don't you dragons believe in those prophecies? Why are you not planning to kill me?"
Alex's eyes were full of wisdom and arrogance, "Have we, the Dragon Clan, ever traveled across the continent and interfered with all sentient beings due to private matters?"
Mentioning this, Ers next to Alex and the giant dragon in the air raised their heads proudly.
"We... may seem to you to be self-proclaimed and the final line of defense to protect the Aika continent. Because the power of the dragon clan is too powerful and scary, and will affect the balance of the continent, that's why we never walk on the continent. We only have the abyss back then. After the advent, we began to appear frequently, and Egg is our representative.”
Alex said slowly, "The rest of the time, we will follow the instructions of the Dragon God and stay peacefully in the Dragon Valley, accumulating strength to resist the real crisis in the future, which is the abyss creatures."
Lu Chen recalled the history of the continent, and it seemed that it was true as Alex said. In the past era, there were no more than ten dragon clans born in Dragon Valley, and they never attacked other races at will. Instead, they were like Egger. There are many cases where people come forward to act as peacemakers between various races.
The only major events that attacked the creatures within the Aika continent were the battle between Egg and Duke Godzilla, and today Alex led the dragons to the Aishil Forest.
As for these two things, he had only looked at them from the perspective of his personal identity before, so he didn't realize that the Dragon Clan seemed to have no selfish motives in doing things, and it was really for the safety of the mainland.
As long as the safety of the mainland was not involved, they did not even interfere with their own disasters, just like they did not take action to kill Duke Godzilla when he was still a baby.
Alex looked at Lu Chen with some relief, "Now it seems that our dogma is correct. Although you killed Egg, you still passed the test of the Moon God and carried the new hope of the continent. Today, you were killed even more We will defeat the Lord of the Abyss and usher in the dawn of dawn on the continent of Aika.”
After Lu Chen calmed down, he realized that the dragons in this world were completely different from what he had imagined. It was all because of his plot identity and his knowledge of the dragon world. He had a preconceived notion that the dragons were arrogant, cruel and unreasonable existences.
Dragon Valley in Aika Continent seems to be really...selfless.
Although this kind of selflessness is close to Emiya Kiritsugu's kind of absolute justice, killing one person to save the mainland, Ryuuga no Hesitation does this kind of thing without hesitation.
It is not without reason that the people of the mainland revere the Dragon Clan, but if the person to be killed is their beloved, selflessness becomes evil from a certain perspective.
