Seeing that the black-haired youth in front of him suddenly looked slightly stiff, Ao Qi couldn’t help feeling some hesitation and disbelief in his heart.
It was hard not to…
“Little fish, you’re talking about him…?” Ao Qi asked this sentence in a tentative tone. Even if his first reaction was disbelief, he couldn’t help shaking now.
Gu Huai was rapidly turning his head to think. When he heard the question from the person opposite him, he nodded in a hurry.
Now, Ao Qi was stunned. There was no reason for Gu Huai to lie to him. But if it was true, how could it make sense?
There was an old saying that a dragon took 500 years to transform into a dragon, a legendary dragon in a millenium, an additional five hundred years to behave like a dragon, and become a Ying Dragon in millennium. Ao Qi could only evaluate this passage as half right and half wrong.
The first two sentences were not out of line, which was common knowledge, but the last two sentences were totally untrue. If a dragon wanted to cultivate his horn, unless his talent was amazing, it was impossible for him to cultivate his horn in only 500 years. Until their deaths, there were many dragons who had not cultivated their horns. There was no doubt that he was a strong one among the Dragon families.
And the Ying dragon was the king.
Even in ancient times, there were not many people with the ability to fight with a dragon who cultivated its horn to the point where they hurt the dragon’s horns, let alone a Ying dragon.
Ao Qi listed all the strongest of other races in his mind. He couldn’t think of anyone who could hurt the Dragon horn of his eldest brother. In theory, they didn’t exist at all.
“Squeak?” Receiving the call of his king, a group of black balls around him quickly surrounded the youth and eagerly asked what he wanted.
Before he didn’t know the truth, Gu Huai still thought things could wait until Yan Lin came back, but not now.
“Can you help me find someone?” Even if he knew that the Nightmares around him would not refuse his request, Gu Huai still used a questioning tone.
The black ball that floated around did not think it over at all. It made a few squeaks and then moved quickly.
Most of the people this time would have to be found by technical methods. The non-human association would probably come and find fault afterwards, but the Nightmare clan did not consider this trouble now.
What the King wanted them to do was what they would do anyway. How to finish it as soon as possible was what these black balls were thinking about.
“It might be better not to search.” After watching the meeting, the system finally said this.
Because they were the same existence, now that it had a general understanding of the situation, the system had a more accurate estimation of Yan Lin’s current situation, “Not only does he not want you to know, he should also think that he will lose control and hurt you accidentally in that state. “
The same thoughts, the same emotions, they would make the same choice, so the system did not want the youth to search now.
Gu Huai didn’t make a sound, and obviously showed his rejection of the suggestions put forward by his system. Knowing that it was such a serious situation, Gu Huai couldn’t sit at ease.
“I also went to call on the clansmen to help find him.” Calming down, Ao Qi made a decision.
Taking the damage to the dragon horn as the reason, the fact that their boss disappeared once every year or two and the date was fixed in July could be explained, or just related to it.
Ao Qi could describe the level of pain of a crack on a dragon’s horn in words, but he couldn’t imagine it. The pain was enough to drive any dragon crazy.
Yan Lin looked like an innocent person at ordinary times. Ao Qi could only explain that the other party should have suppressed a certain degree of pain in some way.
Ao Qi didn’t know what method he used, but he could roughly guess that there was a limit to this kind of repression. There would be a moment when the pain under pressure would break out, so the other would go missing without saying a word for several days to deal with the problem…..
“As for the way to mend a dragon’s horn, I’ll go down to the library later.” That was to say, Ao Qi didn’t have much hope for it. It was rare to need to repair the horn of a dragon. At least he had never heard of it till today.
After saying this, Ao Qi saw the young man nodding his head at him, and then he walked out of the door behind a group of Nightmares who were using magic to search.
When the youth was far away, the expression on Ao Qi’s face became complicated. In fact, he still had something to say. He dared not say anything…..
The eldest brother of his family had already trained to be a Ying Long. In theory, there was no one who could hurt the other’s dragon horn. So there was only one possibility for the origin of the rift mentioned by the youth.
The crack on his dragon’s horn was made by his own hand…. However, Ao Qi couldn’t understand why he would do this kind of self mutilation.
Yan Lin is trying to hide. Of course, he wouldn’t let anyone see him when he left. It was impossible to find clues according to normal methods, even if he used techniques.
Ao Qi and the others had never found anything for a long time in the past, perhaps because of his understanding of their kin, Yan Lin did not give his subordinates any chance to find him.
It was different for the Nightmares. The group of black balls who received the youth’s request directly sacrificed all the large array techniques for tracking after ignoring the fact that the Non-human Association forbade the random use of magic in the human world.
If the Association wanted to find fault, it had to wait in line for them. Now, they had to fulfill their King’s wish first.
The effect of this search method was remarkable, but the direction of the location was very unexpected. It was in the Yan family residence.
“Ground, basement?” Except for Ao Qi, the clansmen in the Yan family only knew to find their eldest brother, but they were not told why. At first, they were confused about this. Now they found out that the Yan family had a basement, and these dragons were even more confused.
They didn’t know about it. They had lived together for so many years. They never knew that there was a hidden underground basement in the Yan residence.
Yan Lin intentionally hid his injury from them. Even if Ao Qi understood the situation, it was not convenient for him to tell others. After thinking for a while, Ao Qi first found a reason to dismiss the others, and he followed Gu Huai to the entrance of the underground basement.
Suppress, explode, suppress, explode… In this type of injury, if it was not completely cured, it would only become more and more serious, and one day it would become overwhelming. The more clearly he understood this, the more his heart sank.
“I’ll go in and you stay outside.” Considering the situation of all parties, Gu Huai said this sentence.
Ao Qi hesitated at first, and nodded after a while. His eldest brother’s mental state was not stable at present. It would not be easy for the youth to stimulate the other.
The entrance to the basement was in a corner of the villa of the Yan manor, a greenhouse where few people passed by except for the daily maintenance of the housekeeper.
They needed to turn the mechanism to see the entrance. The entrance was covered by a layer of enchantment, which couldn’t be found by common exploration magic. In addition to the shield, there were several prohibitions, but these prohibitions had been lifted under the repeated attempts of Gu Huai and a group of Nightmares.
Before arriving at the basement, there was still a flight of stairs to go. Gu Huai went down all the way, obviously feeling the continuous decrease of the surrounding temperature. By the time it was near the bottom, what could be felt around was already chillingly cold.
There was light on this side of the basement, so it was not difficult for Gu Huai to see things after turning on the light. At the bottom, Gu Huai saw another closed door, which was different from the one at the entrance. The material used for this door was very special, and it was full of cold air.
In fact, if someone else stood in this place, most of them would have fallen in this bone-chilling cold now. The cold air around them was not made by ordinary things, but by extremely cold black ice.
The reason why Gu Huai was OK was that he happened to have extreme Yin. When he first woke up his bloodline, he still felt cold and was wary of it, but now that the physical transformation was nearly completed, he had a very high tolerance for this piercing cold.
With his hands on the cold door, Gu Huai pushed the heavy door open.
The friction between the bottom of the door and the ground made a loud noise. When Gu Huai pushed the door half way open, he froze on the spot because of what he saw in front of him.
It was like an ice chamber. The whole space was surrounded by extremely cold ice. If the door was closed, this space could make anyone lose consciousness and even vitality.
And Gu Huai opened the door, then he was facing up with a pair of scarlet pupils that looked more than violent. It was hard to find the emotion that could be called reason.
The cold and handsome face of the owner of these eyes was almost morbidly pale. The cold sweat from suffering had soaked his forehead, even his neck.
“Don’t get close.” The system stopped him immediately, and it was not quite clear now. But it didn’t feel right. There had to be something wrong….
If Yan Lin was now awake, he would also say the same thing as the system to prevent the youth from approaching him. But now that he had lost control, he stared at the young man approaching him with scarlet eyes.
Right now, Yan Lin was very dangerous. Whether it was the mental state that he was in or the aggressiveness that he felt, it could even be seen at a glance.
But seeing this scene, Gu Huai was even more unlikely to stop as he said, keeping his normal pace and keeping his eyes on him.
On the one hand, was the violent impulse of tearing all the things close to it to pieces, on the other hand, was the instinctive protectiveness toward the youth in front of him, who was precious. Although the latter always won, the fierce struggle between the two desires made Yan Lin, who was already pale, tense his body.
In the next second, Yan Lin slightly stiffened, and at this moment, he seemed to increase his vigilance abruptly.
He was held by the youth who came close to him. The warm temperature he felt in this extremely cold space made Yan Lin unable to refuse. But in fact, it was not the temperature that he couldn’t refuse, but the owner who had the temperature.
Yan Lin lost his reason temporarily in the unbearable pain. What he had now was instinct. The dragon was also a kind of beast. With a kind of animal instinct, Yan Lin closed his teeth on the white neck of the youth, where his pale blue blood vessels were visible.
It was not only a hunting instinct, but also a fighting instinct.
Instinctively nibbling at the young man’s neck, Yan Lin actually subconsciously avoided the really fatal places, otherwise the place he bit would be shifted to the side.
But the youth who he held was not prey…. Not the enemy…..
In the absence of reason, Yan Lin was still dominated by his deepest instincts. In the past few moments, Yan Lin gradually loosened his teeth and stared at the youth who had no resistance to him with scarlet vertical pupil.
Staring at the place on the young man’s neck where he bit the light red mark, Yan Lin did not make any action.
Licking wounds was one of the instincts of many animals. After some instinctive urging, Yan Lin lowered his head a little, and licked the bite marks on the youth, which were actually not wounds.
