Chapter 696: the queen’s choice
Translator: 549690339
“why?” the golden dragon soul was confused.
the nine dragon souls who were watching in the ancestral artifact were also surprised.
“i’m not in a good condition.” the dragon bee queen said in a low voice, ” mother left three origin eggs in total and sealed them in the inner island. ”
” but in fact, after tens of thousands of years, i’m the only insect that was born. the others all died. ”
” even so, i’ve grown to where i am today through acquired nourishment, but there’s still a problem with my bloodline. ”
” i can’t become an ancestor like mother. ”
” but his own bloodline shouldn’t grow so slowly and with such difficulty. ”
” i’ve been stuck at the middle stage of the supreme body for a long time. ”
“so long that in order to survive, i have to figure out some extremely risky side arts.”
the dragon bee queen said helplessly, ” just a few years ago, i failed my fifth advancement and my vitality was completely damaged. my ability to breed and hatch was weakened by half. i couldn’t even form a bug army, and my combat power fell particularly badly. ”
the giant golden dragon’s expression was grave as it immediately replied, ”
” there’s still a ten-thousand-year-old medicine in the ancestral artifact. it might be able to help you recover. ”
“no, it’s my business.” “i have to admit that i’m different from my mother,” the dragon bee queen admitted.
” perhaps it was a great general of the bloodline of death, the sharpest battle spear, but in the bloodline inheritance and memories it left me, it did not want me to walk the same path. ”
“it only wants me to live well.”
“in the way i like.”
the golden dragon soul fell silent.
the dragon bee queen continued, ”
” i can swear on my bloodline, and i can accept any form of seal you put on me, wiping away my memories of meeting you. ”
” but … i’m sorry. even if there are many disputes on this island, even if my fate is rough, i don’t want to take great risks and fight for your bloodline again. ”
“i want to live for myself.”
” i also want to continue the dragon bee race’s offspring, so that this race doesn’t disappear in the river of time too early. ”
” this is my choice. i hope you can respect it and not force me to do things i don’t want to do. ”
” your choice …? ” the golden dragon lowered its gaze, its body slowly shrinking as it returned to the ancestral artifact.
“fine, the empress is indebted to the venerable one, but her contribution to the lineage of death is not even one or two of our combined contributions.”
“since it has this wish, hoping for its descendants to live, we are willing to support it.”
without a sound, a piece of jade-green shot out, wrapped in a strong medicinal fragrance. the four dragon bee knights ‘faces changed, but they had no time to react, and it fell into the front door of the palace.
” this is a fifteen thousand year old ‘qilin palm’. if you eat it, you can extend your life and improve your physique. it’s an extremely rare supreme treasure medicine, and it might be the last one in the world. ”
” don’t reject our good intentions, and don’t get involved with the so-called fate. ”
” the empress has been on the battlefield for her entire life. she has made great achievements in battle and has a great reputation in both her life and her life. as her descendants, since she is still alive, there is no reason for us to sit back and do nothing. ”
” this is a reward and also a compensation. if one day we wash away our sins and return to the position of the ancestral dragon, if you have any other wishes, we are still willing to help you fulfill them. ”
” if you fail, then it has nothing to do with you. the lineage of death was once glorious. all memories of it should be in the history books … ”
the golden dragon soul didn’t wait for the dragon bee queen’s response. it swept the black light away with the power of the ancestral weapon, locking onto all life forms in the area, including the dragon bees, and covering all traces of its presence.
in the next half a breath, bai wushang and the little bone dragon disappeared. they crossed a height of ten thousand feet, left the nest of the dragon bees, and came to a piece of land far away.
“it’s a pity,” the light dragon felt sorry. it did not expect the queen’s descendant to be in such a situation and make such a choice.
the golden dragon soul was more open-minded and took the initiative to mediate the thoughts of the other dragon souls.
” it’s our duty to help us and not to help us. there’s no need to be so conflicted. ”
” the empress’s descendants want to live their own lives and don’t want to be disturbed again. from her perspective, it’s completely understandable. ”
” let’s leave it at that. there are still plenty of opportunities in the inner island. for example, i’ve heard that there was once a subordinate of the lineage of death who had the potential to become a legendary battle spear, the kind that would not be weaker than the dragon bee queen. ”
” but for various reasons, it made a mistake and was imprisoned in a secret realm that few people knew. ”
“now that twenty to thirty thousand years have passed, with its long life and the special nature of that secret realm, it might not really die.”
” perhaps we can go and look for it. as long as it’s still alive, it probably won’t be weaker than my main body at its peak. it’s definitely a double-pinnacle ‘holy dragon king’! ”
a legendary 9-star holy dragon species could be called a supreme holy dragon.
however, if one could experience multiple breakthroughs and stand at the peak of the supreme body, only then would one be qualified to be called the ” holy dragon king. ”
this was a supreme honor, and it was also a symbol of strength and status. generally, only a powerful dragon species could produce one or two after gathering the resources of an entire clan.
bai wushang nodded to himself. the lineage of death was essentially the incarnation of the grim reaper, the kin of death.
however, from what he could see so far, the remnants of the twelve dragon souls might not be able to rule out their individual deep-rooted bad habits and character flaws, but in the face of major right and wrong, they were more loyal, grateful, and humane than many humans.
would the supreme lord, who was able to lead such a group, really betray the entire dragon race as the dragon court had decided?
bai wushang hadn’t witnessed history, and he didn’t have any evidence, so he couldn’t find the truth with his subjective experience.
however, he had to admit that after living together for so long, he had become more and more familiar with this bloodline and acknowledged it.
“ka ba ka …”
the little bone dragon suddenly scratched his trousers and pointed in a direction.
in the forest, a few sneaky black salamander dragons were prostrating on the ground, carefully sniffing the smell of the soil.
behind them, there was a faint black mist that was tens of thousands of miles away. it was constantly devouring the vitality of the plants.
“this is … a ghost dragon?”
the golden dragon soul extended a wisp of its origin, penetrating the depths of the black mist and projecting an image in bai wushang’s mind.
bai wushang was shocked. it turned out that these black salamanders were acting as scouts, just like the third grade dragon bees.
on their backs, further away from the forest, there were tens of thousands of similar dragon species. they formed groups of three to five, and their cold vertical pupils were wide open. they drooled in hunger as they wiped out all living things in their range.
” what a huge group of dragons, and there are even some other dragon species mixed in … is this a force formed by some powerful existence? ”
bai wushang muttered to himself. suddenly, he turned around and looked at a mountain peak in the distance.
if he moved forward, he would not be able to avoid the dragon bee queen’s nest.
