The strongest dragon in the age of beasts

Chapter 56 Hidden Assassin

When Chen Wei was still wondering whether there were dragon eggs in the stone room, Cai Ling shouted excitedly.

"Hey!" (＾＿＾)☆ (Fried tomato and dragon egg!)

She knew that her master's favorite home-cooked dish was tomato scrambled eggs, and her favorite was Chen Wei's secret grilled fish.

Although she had just finished eating, Cai Ling subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth with the snake core when she thought of grilled fish.

Ever since she came to this secret place, she didn’t even have the snacks after meals every night!

Bending down to pick up his backpack from the ground, Chen Wei couldn't help but glance at Cai Ling beside him.

What kind of family is this! Bring the dragon eggs to eat?

Although he usually has tomato scrambled eggs when he eats by himself, he is not so extravagant as to serve dragon eggs.

…

Chen Wei carefully searched the stone chamber for more than half an hour. Finally, he regretfully discovered that there was not even a dragon hair, let alone a dragon egg.

This place doesn't seem to be the remains of a real dragon at all. To be precise, it should be the lair of a dog-headed ape.

By convention, strange beasts that have never appeared on Blue Star are named by their discoverers.

Chen Wei is not very good at naming. The so-called dog-headed ape is actually his simple nickname for the strange stone beast.

After searching for resources to no avail, Chen Wei's eyes returned to the words and murals on the stone wall.

Although these murals and texts are inconspicuous in appearance and slightly rough, they may have extremely high scientific research value.

He thought for a while, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and then started taking photos one by one along the stone wall.

While walking and stopping, Chen Wei took hundreds of photos.

After taking the photo, he touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then murmured: "From these text murals, I know that this feels more like a place where the dog-headed ape tribe worships the real dragon!"

"It seems that these dog-headed apes have some intelligence, but not much!"

Chen Wei couldn't help complaining, how could a place of worship be built in such a narrow indoor space.

With the huge size of Shenlong, there is definitely no room here, and it will not even notice such a remote corner!

Such an act of worship really made Chen Wei feel a little confused.

Although he was not able to see this strange beast with his own eyes, through many murals, Chen Wei discovered that these dog-headed apes not only had a dog's head, but also behaved like a licking dog.

In order to get close to the supreme god in their hearts, the dog-headed apes in the painting caused many dog-headed apes to be frozen and destroyed by the breath of the ice dragon.

Even so, they still worship the ice dragon as a god and regard it as an honor to have their bodies frozen by the dragon.

The two stone sculptures outside the jade gate are made of frozen dog-headed apes mixed with soil.

Chen Wei shook his head. These were just his speculations, and they might be far from the facts.

“Err?”⊙(◇)? (Are those bones worth anything?)

Cai Ling looked at the bones of alien beasts piled up into a hill under the jade platform, and asked curiously.

"We don't touch anything worthless!"

Chen Wei took a look over there and saw that a few of the dead bodies still retained their relatively complete shape.

The remains of some strange beasts can be used to refine elixirs, but those skeletons have been through too long and are obviously no longer usable!

"Let's go, let's go outside to rest." Chen Wei turned to look at Cai Ling.

"Erba?" (Aren't we going to spend the night here?)

"It's better to spend the night at the entrance. This is deep inside the mountain. Although the probability of mountain collapse is extremely low, I want to be safe."

A faint smile appeared on Chen Wei's face. He was very satisfied with tonight's harvest.

"Ey!" (`) (Okay!)

Chen Wei and Cai Ling returned to the Jade Gate Statue and turned off the switch at the bottom of the statue.

"Cack, click..." The heavy sound of the stone door sliding sounded in the silent cave.

The fluorescent stone on the top of the stone chamber was still emitting bright light, but a figure suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground. Maybe it has been here for a long time.

Only the upper part of its body is exposed, with a cluster of green leaves growing on its head, and its lower body is buried deep in the earth. It seems to be able to swim freely in the soil.

With a pair of bright green eyes full of curiosity, it reluctantly watched the departing figures of Chen Wei and Cai Ling until the jade door completely fell, completely blocking its gaze.

Then the light in those big eyes instantly dimmed a bit.

"Chirp."

An inaudible murmur sounded in the empty stone room, and a hint of loneliness flashed across its eyes.

Standing there blankly, perhaps thinking of something, it tilted its head and became slightly more energetic. Then its body slowly sank to the ground until it disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the stone room returned to its previous calm.

At the same time, Cai Ling's body stiffened slightly, and then she looked at the closed jade door behind her with a surprised expression.

"Hey!" ∑(△｀)? (There seemed to be a strange sound just now!)

Chen Wei was suddenly startled when he heard this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately turned around and looked at the door behind him.

"What's the sound? Can you detect the enemy's location?"

Chen Wei's face was full of vigilance at this time, and then he frowned and asked in thought.

Could there be unknown dangerous beasts hidden in this place?

"Yeah!" (△｀)? (there is none left!)

After sensing it, Cai Ling shook her head in confusion, as if the slight sound just now was just an accident.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wei did not choose to turn back and open the door, but turned around and left.

Since the other party has never taken the initiative to launch an attack, it means that it is also very afraid of Cai Ling's strength. The strength gap between the two sides should not be big!

But in the face of such an assassin who is good at hiding, Chen Wei, who is physically weak, decided to take the high road. He had gained so much that he did not want to send a generous express to the unknown beast.

"Let's go back to the entrance first."

Because he had walked through it once, Chen Wei's return pace was obviously much faster than when he came. It only took him half an hour to reach the entrance of the cave.

Outside the cave, the heavy snow has stopped, and the bright moon is hanging high in the sky.

"Cailing, let's continue on our way while it's not snowing now!"

Chen Wei looked back at the dark cave behind him. He had never doubted the authenticity of Cai Ling's words, so now he just wanted to find another place to spend the night.

"Let's fly over." Chen Wei urged.

Chen Wei picked up Cai Ling, bent his legs slightly, and then suddenly jumped into the air.

After flying for more than ten minutes, they landed on a small hill.

"You should get rid of it!"

Chen Wei breathed a heavy sigh of relief. After landing safely, he immediately reached out and touched the cold sweat on his temples.

From the jade gate to here, maintaining a high level of vigilance was really exhausting for him.

After all, for Chen Wei, the strange beasts hidden in the darkness are the most terrifying existences!

PS: I saw the reward just after I finished coding. Thank you all for your continued support!
