157: A world full of unknown doubts!
Clang!
In mid-air, the seven or eight-meter-long greatsword seemed to have struck something, sparking a shower of fire.
Huh?
Xia Qi landed lightly on a rock, half of his mechanical shield directly destroyed by that single strike.
"Interesting, you can see my movements? And you can speak human language?"
His gaze fell upon the Green-skinned Dragon Man panting on the ground. Judging by his appearance and equipment, he really looked like a boss.
"Outsider, you are not the first one to come here."
"In my memory, twenty years ago, someone very similar to you also came."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi's expression finally showed a hint of change.
The Green-skinned Dragon Man's words revealed a lot of information.
First, the Green-skinned Dragon Man should be a monster unique to the Infernal Level.
Second, someone had cleared the Infernal Level Dragonkin Camp twenty years ago, which meant that for the next decade or so, no one had challenged the Infernal Level, or perhaps they had challenged it but hadn't reached this point.
Finally.
A dungeon monster, whose memory has been preserved for twenty years?
Is this really just a dungeon?
For a moment, Xia Qi felt doubts, and even his bloodthirsty killing intent was suppressed quite a bit.
His eyes gradually cleared, and he felt the energy within his body becoming empty, almost at rock bottom.
For some reason, during the monster killing, he had been so engrossed that he hadn't paid attention to the consumption of his internal energy.
"Then tell me, why didn't that person who was very similar to me kill you?"
"How do you still remember him?"
A bottle of energy water appeared in his palm. Xia Qi replenished his energy and asked the question in his heart.
The Green-skinned Dragon Man looked around the camp. In such a short time, almost seventy to eighty percent of the Dragonkin in the entire camp had died.
The remaining number was less than a thousand.
He held up his longsword, his bell-sized eyes darting around, seemingly deep in thought.
"Go back first, I'll deal with him alone."
He roared at a guard captain, and for a moment, the Dragonkin, as if granted a great pardon, fled back into the camp without looking back.
When most of the remaining Dragonkin had left, the Green-skinned Dragon Man finally let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze fixed on Xia Qi, his eyes filled with complexity.
"Forget it, this is fate. I will tell you the answer."
"We originally did not belong to this world. As for how we came here, we actually don't know either. We woke up, and only a camp remained here."
"The surrounding space was sealed, and we couldn't leave."
"But as time went on, twenty years ago, I discovered someone had entered."
"He was also like you, killing his way to the camp entrance, where I stopped him."
"However, he wasn't as easy to talk to as you. We fought for an hour."
"In the end, neither of us could do anything to the other."
....
"Wait, let me interrupt."
Xia Qi frowned, interrupting the Green-skinned Dragon Man's words.
"If you didn't die, how did he leave here?"
"Of course, I let him leave."
The Green-skinned Dragon Man was a little displeased by Xia Qi's interruption. He hadn't spoken the outsider's language in a long time.
"According to the rules I control, we cannot leave this world, but outsiders can enter and exit. The exit is under my control. However, only you and he have been able to reach this point."
"I don't know your purpose for coming here, but it's difficult for us Dragonkin to reproduce. We can't multiply much even in decades. I hope you stop the war and leave here."
The Green-skinned Dragon Man squeezed the Demon Dragon Blade in his hand and stated his request.
Once he detected any intention of combat from Xia Qi, he would defend the remaining Dragonkin even if it meant his death.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Xia Qi's eyes flickered. His Heart Like Still Water seemed to have failed.
He felt an indescribable discomfort.
The Green-skinned Dragon Man's words had a profound impact on him.
A dungeon boss, by rights, shouldn't rush forward to fight him, then either he wins and clears it again, or he dies here because his strength isn't enough.
What was with this bizarre style?
Xia Qi couldn't understand for a moment, and he began to feel restless.
According to the Green-skinned Dragon Man, they were not a warlike race, and their presence in the dungeon was out of their control.
In fact, when enemies entered, they only passively counterattacked.
This clearly overturned Xia Qi's worldview up to this point.
"Damn it, how many secrets are there in this world that I haven't discovered?"
Xia Qi couldn't help but complain.
While feeling frustrated, he forced himself to calm down.
He slowly inserted his longsword into its scabb, temporarily abandoning the idea of continuing to clear the dungeon.
"Do you know the Dragon Battlefield?"
The Green-skinned Dragon Man shook his head in confusion.
"Do you know about the Devilish Qi, the kind entwined with purple Devilish Qi?"
The Green-skinned Dragon Man shook his head again.
He then asked several questions about Void Creatures and Awakened ones.
Xia Qi was surprised to find that the monsters in the Dragonkin Camp knew nothing about the outside world.
Their only means of understanding might be through Awakened ones like them.
As for the Dragonkin Camp below the Infernal Level, Xia Qi had never entered it and was unclear about the situation inside.
After a round of fruitless inquiries, Xia Qi completely lost the desire to continue clearing the dungeon.
He sat on the rock, bored, looking at the Green-skinned Dragon Man's sincere face. What more could he say?
"Your weapon is good."
Xia Qi took another look at that longsword.
It felt quite extraordinary.
"This Demon Dragon Blade, it existed when we appeared here."
"But only I can wield it."
The Green-skinned Dragon Man even performed a sword flourish for Xia Qi.
This scene looked utterly comical.
"Alright then, send me off."
The conversation was over, and he couldn't farm Materials anymore. Xia Qi really couldn't think of any reason to stay here.
"Okay, follow me."
The Green-skinned Dragon Man's face lit up with joy. This meant he had completely saved the lives of the remaining Dragonkin.
His hand never left the sword as he led Xia Qi into the camp.
"Speaking of which, you guys are quite pitiful, only able to stay in this small area. How do you survive?"
As they walked, Xia Qi looked around and asked curiously.
The entire dungeon was at most a few dozen square kilometers, just a small mountainous area. Where would they find resources to survive here?
"We grow our own!"
"You grow your own?"
Xia Qi looked in surprise at the direction the Green-skinned Dragon Man pointed. In another area of the camp, there were indeed unknown crops growing.
They were a type of fruit, red and almost everywhere.
"Try one."
Saying that, the Green-skinned Dragon Man pulled out a fruit from somewhere and tossed it to Xia Qi.
The moment he saw the fruit, Xia Qi was stunned.
[dragon nectar fruit: Can replenish physical strength, can be used for alchemy and other purposes, can be eaten to fill the stomach.]
