"Father?! Those monsters!!"
Hearing Huan Qianyu's startled cry, Huan Zhong looked over and saw that the monsters hidden in the thick fog were all boiling with excitement, churning the originally thick fog thinner.
They all roared and flew in the same direction.
And that direction was exactly where Huan Zhong and his group were headed.
After the fog thinned, Huan Qianyu could clearly see the true faces of the monsters, and her mood became even more complicated.
Suddenly, Huan Zhong pressed down the heads of Su Ye and Huan Qianyu forcefully. The three of them crouched down and hid to one side.
The monsters began to gather and flew over their heads continuously.
The swirling air currents almost swept the three of them in. They had no choice but to stop and shrink into the corner as much as possible, waiting for the next opportunity to move forward.
"What's going on?" Huan Qianyu asked.
Huan Zhong's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were full of surprise. "These monsters have sensed that someone is using the Dragon Clan's inheritance. Although the fluctuation is weak, I can definitely sense it."
Hearing her father's explanation, Huan Qianyu was also very surprised. "But Father, how do you know it's the Dragon Clan's inheritance?"
Huan Zhong's thoughts drifted back slowly, recalling the scene of capturing the Nether White Wolf back then.
"Back then, I was just a young lad following the former great general. I once saw the demonic army go to capture the Nether White Wolf. At that time, the Nether White Wolf Clan knew they couldn't escape, so they passed on most of the Dragon Clan's inheritance to a little white wolf."
"I hid in the dark and once sensed this fluctuation. I heard that the little wolf was saved by a little girl in the mortal world. Later, this girl became a member of the main shrine. She noticed that the main shrine seemed to have an almost perverted obsession with the Nether White Wolf, so she gave her jade pendant to the white wolf for protection in advance. Later, the girl died, and the white wolf disappeared without a trace."
"I thought that white wolf was already dead. I didn't expect..."
Hearing Huan Zhong talk about the past, Huan Qianyu's eyes were full of sighs.
She never thought that her father would know so many secrets. But as her father's daughter, she had only been concerned about eating, drinking, and having fun all these years. She was even infatuated and insisted on marrying Ji Chongming.
If it weren't for this incident, she might still be the innocent young miss of the Huan family.
Just as Huan Qianyu was about to speak, she suddenly saw a look of fear on her father's face. He raised his withered hand to protect her in front of him and stared with wide eyes.
Huan Qianyu's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head nervously and stiffly, and met a big, numb and creepy eye.
The owner of the eye seemed to notice the difference among the three. Its big eyes rolled as if it was trying to distinguish.
Huan Qianyu immediately lowered her head. Seeing that there was still a lot of the white wolf's ashes on her and Huan Zhong, she immediately knew that the problem was with Su Ye.
Sure enough, when Huan Qianyu tilted her head slightly, she saw that there was almost no white wolf's ashes left on Su Ye.
But at this moment, Su Ye was stunned on the spot by the monster in front of her. Her body was trembling, and the extreme fear and panic in her eyes were extremely clear.
"Su Ye... the ashes..."
Huan Qianyu's back was also breaking out in cold sweat, but she still managed to whisper a reminder to Su Ye.
But the monster in front also heard Huan Qianyu's voice. It raised its head and opened its mouth to roar, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.
The three of them then found that only the head of this monster was relatively intact, but there was only a long skeleton behind it, and even the skeleton was incomplete.
Taking advantage of the moment when the monster raised its hand, Su Ye trembled as she tried to smear the ashes on her body.
But the more anxious she was, the more panicked she became.
The bag full of ashes accidentally fell to the ground. When she looked up again, there were already quite a few monsters gathered in front of the three of them.
These monsters were huge in size. Several huge heads were crowded in front of the three of them, bumping into each other. This huge visual impact brought great shock to the three of them.
Huan Qianyu's eyes were filled with tears. She covered her mouth tightly and bit her lower lip desperately to stop herself from screaming.
Even though she had seen the true face of the monsters up close before, it was only a partial view in the thick fog.
Now that the fog had dispersed and the monsters were gathered in front of her, she could see the monsters from head to toe clearly.
Although they were incomplete, Huan Qianyu could still recognize that these monsters were the legendary Dragon Clan.
In Huan Zhong's words, they were more like the vengeful spirits of the Dragon Clan, still retaining their appearance before death. They wandered in this abyss, unwilling to return to the heavens and earth because of their great resentment.
The reason why Huan Qianyu felt sad was that the death of these dragons was extremely tragic without exception.
Their bodies were all incomplete. Some only had skeletons left, and some didn't even have complete skeletons. Only their heads or half of their bodies remained.
Even if there was flesh covering the skeleton, it must be bloody and mangled.
Being skinned, having their tendons and bones pulled out...
Just by looking at these incomplete bodies, one could infer what kind of torture these dragons had suffered before they died.
No wonder... they had such soaring resentment.
Before Huan Qianyu could calm down, a dragon's head with flesh on only one side and only a skeleton on the other suddenly leaned closer. The dragon's breath splashed at the feet of the three of them, making it so hot that the three of them almost couldn't stand.
The ashes that had fallen on the ground didn't even leave a trace.
"Master, Miss..."
Su Ye's voice trembled. She was so scared that her eyes widened and tears fell. Her body also slumped to the ground due to weakness.
Huan Qianyu gritted her teeth and quickly poured all the ashes in her bag onto Su Ye's head and body.
The approaching dragons turned their eyes in confusion. After pausing for a while, they finally left.
At this time, the influence of the fluctuation gradually disappeared. The dragons slowly returned to their normal state, wandering and floating at the bottom of the cliff. The fog gradually thickened, and the figures of the dragons disappeared into the thick fog, turning back into the monsters at the bottom of the cliff.
Su Ye was sweating profusely. She gasped for breath after surviving the disaster.
She looked up with a grateful expression, but was slapped by Huan Qianyu.
With a "pop", Su Ye's head was knocked to the side.
Huan Qianyu stared at Su Ye angrily, but Su Ye only covered her swollen face and didn't turn her head for a long time.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Huan Qianyu suppressed her anger, hiding the不忍 and sadness in her eyes, leaving only coldness.
Huan Zhong didn't say a word and also stared at Su Ye coldly.
Seeing that her identity had been recognized by Huan Qianyu, Su Ye laughed twice and then slowly shed tears.
Huan Qianyu was heartbroken by Su Ye's betrayal. Seeing her cry, she immediately became angry.
"You still have the nerve to cry. I was still wondering why Lin Yibai always knew my every move. It wasn't because she was smart, but because there was a traitor by my side!"
"If it weren't for you, Su Zhi wouldn't have died. It's you! You deliberately led us to our deaths!!"
"You hid so well. If you hadn't still tried to inform someone and deliberately dropped the bag to attract the monsters to us at the bottom of the cliff, I wouldn't have believed that there would be a white-eyed wolf by my side!!"
