Chapter 2020: Chapter 675: Hatching the Dragon Egg and Liu Muxue’s Vision

[You have returned: Gale Snow Plain]

...

As the prompt ended, Cao Xing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

At this moment, everyone’s body surface was covered with a thick layer of frost, as if they were frozen solid.

However, this was because they had been in a stationary state for a long time, their body heat gradually stripped away by the snowstorm, causing this phenomenon.

As long as they moved slightly, the power within them would dispel the cold, returning to normal status.

Cao Xing said, "We’re almost there, everyone stay alert."

As soon as he finished speaking, the layer of ice crystals on everyone cracked, and a hint of anticipation gradually appeared in their eyes!

At the same time, Old Wang continued to lead everyone forward.

About ten minutes later, Cao Xing saw in the overwhelming snowstorm ahead, a massive and familiar territory appeared.

In that territory, towering lighthouses were casting bright beams of light, guiding their way forward.

"We’re here," Cao Xing said softly, with a slight lift of the corners of his mouth.

Seeing the outline of the territory emerging, smiles couldn’t help but appear on everyone’s faces.

Despite enduring a five-hour long trek in the storm, at this moment, everyone felt a warmth and reassurance akin to returning home.

And below, a slender figure was standing in the snow, seemingly waiting for something.

The pure white battle armor she wore emitted a pure white light, and her long hair gently swayed in the wind.

This figure was Liu Muxue.

Cao Xing also noticed this woman and quickly said, "Old Wang, land next to Muxue."

"Whoosh——"

Old Wang flapped his wings, gradually flying above Liu Muxue’s head, then began to slowly descend.

The giant wings stirred up gusts of air, scattering the surrounding snowflakes.

Everyone landed steadily.

Liu Muxue immediately came forward, with her eyes full of concern.

"Axing, are you okay?"

Cao Xing smiled slightly, shaking his head, "We’re fine, everyone is here, not one less."

The woman in front of him exhaled slowly.

"That’s good... the snow is so heavy outside, I was really afraid you’d get lost on the road."

Hearing this, Blom behind him chimed in, "Haha! Don’t worry, Lord’s Wife, with me here, the Lord will not be harmed."

Liu Muxue gently nodded and replied, "Mm."

Meanwhile, Cao Xing turned his head toward Renice and the others, saying, "Alright, you all can rest now."

"Everyone worked hard today."

Upon hearing this, they all smiled and replied in unison.

"Not hard at all, Lord!"

...

After Blom and the others left, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue returned to the Lord Castle.

Then he talked with the woman about today’s events.

Liu Muxue listened quietly, while analyzing the situation encountered by the dragon named ’Christalia’.

She said softly, "So it seems that man first seized the Divine Fire from the Lizardman Clan Leader, and later found the dragon."

"During this period, he may have also targeted other demigods."

"Can I understand it as, as long as someone becomes a demigod, they will be targeted by him?"

Hearing this conjecture, Cao Xing showed a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Targeted just for being a demigod... Is that even possible?"

"Isn’t Luo also a demigod? Why is he unaffected?"

Liu Muxue pondered for a moment, then slowly shook her head, saying, "I’m not quite sure either."

"Maybe Luo’s strength is relatively strong, or the power behind him makes that man apprehensive, so he didn’t make a move?"

"Or does he only go after those demigods who are weak and vulnerable?"

Cao Xing frowned slightly, lost in thought.

According to Liu Muxue’s hypothesis, this indeed seemed plausible.

After all, the Human Empire also confirmed that there was more than one demigod, yet they hadn’t suffered any attacks.

Moreover, before this, Cao Xing had hardly heard of traces of demigods in the Western Continent.

So, is the sparse number of demigods on this continent related to that man?

"So it seems... if a demigod were born in my territory, would that mysterious presence target them as well?"

Thinking about this possibility, Cao Xing felt as if a gaze appeared behind him, secretly spying on his territory.

He shook his head, discarding these thoughts.

After all, these were Liu Muxue’s speculations, the specifics of which were unknown.

"Let’s not think about it, Muxue."

"Let’s first look at what the dragon gave me."

Liu Muxue nodded gently, not continuing on the topic.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing took out a gray dragon scale from his backpack.

[Relic: Ancient Dragon Scale]

[Quality: Unknown]

[Item Effect 1: A scale left by a powerful dragon, containing immense Divine Power, enabling Dragon Clan creatures to break through to the Legendary Realm.]

[Item Effect 2: Allows direct absorption of the contained Divine Power, restoring 120 Divine Power points, but the relic will disappear due to exhausted Divine Power.]

...

"Indeed, it’s a relic of the Dragon Race."

"This means that when Binglan returns, Serafis can attempt to break through."

"By then, my territory will have the ninth Legendary Creature born."

"And Binglan is already a Legendary Strongman, how powerful will it be then to also control a Legendary Dragon!?"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn’t help but feel a little anticipation.

He carefully placed the scale back into his backpack.

Then, he also took out a huge dragon egg.
