Chapter 20 Ice Dragon

q group: 249063284

The snowy sky and snow are on the top of the mountain with a sharp snowy wind.

Looking around, there was a vast white mist around them, blocking their sight and hiding the terrible cliff. The strong wind mixed with ice particles rushed towards them frantically. They buried their heads and felt that even taking a step was like fighting an arduous battle. In the deep and shallow snow, Li Ou shivered, his limbs were stiff, and he felt like he was about to die.

"How far is it?" Li Ou asked loudly at the first disciple of the chief scholar beside him, "I'm almost dying."

"Just on the top of the mountain," he answered simply.

But the fog is everywhere around them, and Li Ou can't see anything. He doesn't know how far away from the top of the mountain or where it is. He seems to have only one choice, that is, to walk one road to death.

"Let me go!" Behind him, Rosie was still cursing in anger. "Lee Ou!" she screamed, "I'm not sick! Go back!"

Did she refuse to admit it? "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything! I'm not sick, I'm fine!" she shouted loudly, "There's no need to see an immortal dragon." Her voice rushed into the sky, and even overshadowed the wind like the roar of hundreds of beasts, sharp and harsh. There seemed to be a roar of thunder in the clouds, as if something was about to roll down.

"Shut up, do you want to kill us?" Li Ou couldn't help but curse. "Be quiet, Rosie. Do you think I will harm you?"

"I don't want to go," she said.

Li Ou didn't know what she was worried about, but now they have no way to turn back. "I think you became as energetic as before, not as you are now." Li Ou said, "I harmed you, but I can't cure you. There is only one way, Rosie. I need you, especially at this time."

"A selfish bastard!" Rosie cursed.

"Yes, I'm very selfish, I don't deny it." Li Ou reached out and pulled her hard. "But I'm not selfish enough. I couldn't protect you well, and it also made Yue Wu suffer all the time..."

"...It's good that you know." Rosie snorted, she glanced at Li Ou, then turned her head. "Don't you still have to go up? Then hurry up, I'm almost cold."

The thick scarves failed to stop the cold wind and ice and snow, and they frozen the passion of their conversation.

"It's almost here," said the bachelor.

Li Ou took a breath. In the white world, there were ice and snow on both sides that had been deposited for hundreds of years, as if completely dead, and a few strange plants with red fruits grew tenaciously in the ice and snow. They walked forward silently, and then Li Ou saw traces of stairs appearing under their feet. After walking a few more steps, the stone stairs that were completely carved out by human power became clearer.

"Where was this place used to be?" Li Ou couldn't help asking.

"Temple." The scholar exhaled a breath of white breath, but it was frozen into ice particles in an instant. "The temple of the gods once."

The alchemist nodded. He could already guess how this temple on the holy iceberg had declined. He thought that this must be a pilgrimage, and I don't know how many devout people fell in this bad place, and the evil tastes of the gods were playing with their lambs as always. However, their creators were even more unscrupulous.

The collapsed "Gate of the Kingdom of God" collapsed into countless gravels scattered all over the ground, and they climbed hard among the stones. When they stepped on the last ladder, a huge, unrivalled aura immediately rushed towards them, as if a giant mountain was pressing on their hearts. Li Ou felt suffocated suddenly, and his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground. Lu Yuewu, who was beside him, also fell softly to the ground, leaning against a stone covered with ice and snow, gasping violently.

"It's it." said the bachelor with difficulty, "it's that dragon."

The giant dragon.

Leo supported the ground with his hands with difficulty, struggled to slowly climb up and sat on the ground. He looked up at the collapsed temple looming in the clouds, and he could not see anything except a little towering spire.

"Where is it?" Li Ou couldn't help asking.

"It's right above, very close," said the bachelor. "It must have felt our arrival."

"Yes, it found us."

Rosie?

The female mage stood straight, with short hair floating, as if she could not feel the cold, nor was affected by the dragon power at all. "Lee Ou." She suddenly turned around and showed a expression of worry and desire on her face. "It was it calling me. But... I'm afraid."

Li Ou understood deeply that she didn't know where her bloodline came from, and she didn't know how she had such a thing. This was not like a gift to her, but more like a curse of some kind. But now is the time to answer, and it is the only chance. She only has this chance.

"Let's go, we'll be with you." Li Ou struggled to get up. He moved his footsteps and walked to Lu Yuewu and pulled her up. "We will all be with you, Rosie. Just as we had agreed before."

"I...I don't know."

"Let's go, Rosie, you don't want to be kept in the dark and know nothing about your past." Li Ou walked up and grabbed Rosie's hand with a heavy breath. "We will all be by your side."

"Roxi, go." Lu Yuewu said, "Nothing can defeat us."

"Okay, I..."

She hesitated, but finally took a deep breath and took a step forward. She only took a step up, but the surroundings seemed to have suddenly changed. The mist that had been shrouded in them suddenly dissipated, revealing the mottled stones that had collapsed nearby, and under the influence of magic, they seemed to have never been covered and eroded by the ice and snow on the top of the snow mountain. On them, you can even see the stories depicted on the clear murals, as if they had stopped at the moment when the temple collapsed.

"Where to go?" Li Ou asked.

The rocks around were rugged and the tower was cut into two pieces by the blade. Further away, a shining temple was more like an illusion, and an invisible barrier covered the coldness and wind and snow above the head and in all directions. This place was like a maze, and Li Ou could not find the way out or the way to the center.

"I..." Rosie looked struggling. She looked at him and Lu Yuewu and held his hand tightly. "Go to the left." She closed her eyes dejectedly and said to him, "The dragon guides me, go to the left, and ignores the illusion over there."

There was a magnificent castle, with angels and pegasus patrolling around, and rows of warriors in golden helmets and silver armor stood in awe. A solemn atmosphere came to his face, and Li Ou almost felt the coldness of the blades hiding in the scabbard, which was a merciless murderous intent.

"Close your eyes and don't worry about it, walk over," said Rosie.

Li Ou took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then took steps.

He felt like he was penetrated with a layer of film and a layer of rippling water waves. Then when he opened his eyes, what appeared in front of them was the towering mountain tip, a sunken platform, and a giant dragon covered with sapphire blue scales lying on it. The beautiful scales were shining even without sunlight, shining with a confusing luster. It raised its head, staring at them with a pair of eyes larger than a human head.

"Welcome, humans." It did not speak, but a clear voice rang in their minds. "And you." It looked at Rosie. "My only, the only remaining descendant."

Rosie spoke at a loss, "I...I don't know what's going on?"

"The blood of the dragon lineage flows through your body." Lao Long said, "I can feel the fiery power. It belongs to my old opponent, a fire dragon with a hot temper. The blood of the dragon clan will last for many years. Although it will gradually fade, it is still much stronger than your bloodline. However, after it is too thin, the descendants of the dragon clan cannot show the power of the dragon. I don't know how many generations you have been. But you were lucky enough to activate the blood of the dragon clan, so you have a magical talent that is beyond ordinary people and have the right to dominate magic. You should understand how easy it is to control magic."

"But……"

"...What's going on with her illness?" Li Ou asked directly, "We can't treat her."

"That's a disease belonging to the dragon clan." The dragon grinned, as if smiling, "We are the product of magic. We are born because of magic, and we will naturally die because of magic. She is just banned by magic because of excessive use of magic."

"Can it be cured?"

"It's very simple," said the dragon, "but the real tricky one is not that."

"What else?" Li Ou resisted the urge to curse. No one could provoke the guy in front of him. He thought maybe even the gods would not dare to touch him at all. "What's wrong with her?"

"The dragon is actually like an animal. We also have estrus and pregnancy." It squinted its eyes, "I feel like she is pregnant with your child, human."

The dragon's words are like a bolt from the blue.

Pregnant? This... won't it? He opened his eyes wide and stared at Rosie. "Roxi...This..."

Rosie blushed. "...I, I don't know! Don't ask me!" She shouted loudly.

The old dragon laughed so seriously this time, and his voice was loud. "But you have to be prepared, the pregnancy period of humans and dragons is beyond your imagination. I am worried... I am afraid that the end of the world will come and you may not be able to see your child born."

The surprise expression on Li Ou's face froze. "It... is coming soon?"

“It’s so close.”

"Then what can we do?" Leo's determination was extremely firm, for Rosie, for Lu Yuewu, and for their children. "What can I do to stop it? I don't want my child to die before he was born."

"Give me your best to do my best." Lao Long said, "I have avoided several robberies. This time I can't escape it. Humanity, my life span is almost over. This time, I will do my best to help you, an alchemist."

Li Ou felt much more at ease. "So what now? What should we do?"

The ice dragon spread its wings and looked up to the south, "Go back to your hometown, alchemist, everything will begin there and end there."
