Ch 255: The Dragon King
The Village Chief felt this matter was too significant and had to inform the surrounding villages.
He first relayed this news to several villages that had collaborated in building the cement workshop.
The elves in these villages were all shocked. The Temple of the Gods had apparently known about the World-Ending Catastrophe all along, and they were even going to drive out Chen Wen and his Dragon Clan.
They had seen the corpses of giants and dragon-like creatures. The elves certainly couldn’t fight them alone. The Dragon Clan were the strongest individual creatures in this world, and cooperation with them was the best option. The Temple of the Gods not only refused to cooperate with them but also fought against them.
And they even used magic similar to the World-Ending Catastrophe.
The Temple of the Gods couldn’t actually be villains, could they?!
If that were the case, they would only be able to save themselves.
They also sent people to the surrounding area to spread the word, hoping to unite more elves.
The next day.
Chen Wen was considering how to attack the Temple of the Gods when he heard the elves on watch raise the alarm.
He was somewhat doubtful. Judging from the last battle with the priests, their own combat strength wasn’t strong; they relied entirely on the Elf God Tree to attack. Away from the Elf God Tree, how much combat strength would they even have left?
Could they be coming to negotiate peace?
Chen Wen immediately took flight towards the direction of the alarm.
But after flying into the air, he discovered that the alarm wasn’t because the priests of the Temple of the Gods had arrived, but because there were a group of black dots flying towards them from the horizon.
Dragons?
Chen Wen roared, and the other dragons, who were lying down resting, immediately woke up and flew towards Chen Wen.
Soon Chen Wen saw that there were more than twenty dragons, including several young dragons.
Here to seize territory?
Could it be that they thought they had come to the Eastern Continent to compete with them for territory, so they came to cause trouble?
Chen Wen and his subordinates prepared for battle, the dragon subordinates all took out their spiked clubs, and stood ready.
Seeing Chen Wen and his subordinates’ battle stance, those dragons quickly stopped far away.
The two sides faced each other from a distance.
Avia quickly arrived with a team of elf warriors, drawing their bows and aiming at the opposing dragon swarm from below.
Chen Wen was puzzled to see them stop.
The strongest dragon among them flew from the swarm, stopping tens of meters away from them.
“My name is Yali Light. Are you the boss of this group of dragons?” he asked Chen Wen.
Chen Wen nodded: “I am. What’s the matter?”
Yali said: “A few days ago, you fought with those elves, and we saw it all. We’re here to join you.”
Chen Wen could sense a certain respect in Yali’s tone, and he was a little baffled.
Could it be that they were impressed by their combat strength from a few days ago?
Yali continued: “I mean, we acknowledge you as our boss.”
Chen Wen: …
Second Brother and the others weren’t surprised at all; instead, they thought it was only natural.
Avia had witnessed Chen Wen and his dozen or so dragons forcing the Temple of the Gods to use their ultimate move.
Seeing these dragons from the Eastern Continent coming to pledge allegiance to Chen Wen and his group, it was understandable.
They were also happy to see Chen Wen’s power grow stronger, so that when facing those giants and dragon-like creatures, their chances of winning would be greater.
It was just that Chen Wen didn’t quite understand. Generally speaking, the Dragon Clan wouldn’t easily submit to other Dragon Clans.
They usually had to fight first. Why did these dragons come to acknowledge him as their boss on their own?
Seeing Chen Wen’s confusion, Yali called a few young dragons to his side.
The few young dragons flew to Yali’s side without looking at Yali, their eyes fixed on Chen Wen, with the clear expression of devoted fans.
Chen Wen looked at them, twitching the corner of his mouth.
He saw that the few young dragons were all holding a section of tree trunk!
At this moment, he remembered what Cain had told him when he was in the Andeshi Kingdom: recently born young dragons had undergone changes, and he was already influencing the Dragon Clan’s bloodline memories.
These young dragons couldn’t think that the Dragon Clan should use weapons to fight, could they?
Yali said to the few young dragons: “Show them your new abilities.”
The few young dragons were instantly delighted.
Chen Wen had a guess, and he saw the few young dragons begin to use light magic.
Chen Wen secretly thought, as expected.
Yali said: “These young dragons can use this ability from birth. We asked them, and they said it’s already in the Dragon Clan’s bloodline memories.
At first, we thought it was influenced by the Elf God Tree, but soon we discovered that they liked to fight with tree trunks, saying that their bloodline memories told them that fighting with weapons made it easier to win.
We realized something was wrong. Later, more and more newly born young dragons showed abnormalities, constantly talking about eating giants and flightless dragons.
Where in this world are there giants and flightless dragons for them to eat!
Dragons born in the last month or two even said there was a huge light sphere in the Western Continent, constantly clamoring to bring that light sphere back.
To be honest, we were very worried, thinking it was the elves of the Temple of the Gods doing something.
Until a few days ago, when we saw you fighting with the people from the Temple of the Gods, and saw your fighting style and the abilities you used, we realized that the young dragons’ changes were related to you.”
After listening to Yali’s words, Chen Wen found that what he said was indeed related to him.
He used some light magic and said: “I learned this magic. It’s the giants’ magic.”
Hearing “giant,” the young dragons immediately perked up, and Yali’s eyes lit up: “Are there really giants and flightless dragons? The young dragons said that eating them would make them stronger?”
Chen Wen took out a giant’s corpse and a dragon-like creature’s corpse.
Seeing the corpses of the giant and the dragon-like creature, the young dragons immediately drooled and wanted to pounce on them.
“Hm?” Chen Wen snorted coldly.
The young dragons quickly stopped, looking at Chen Wen pitifully.
Chen Wen ignored them and directly put the giant and dragon-like creature corpses away.
Seeing that there really were giants and dragons without wings, Yali finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these young dragons didn’t have a problem with their brains; it was really just that their bloodline memories contained some information they didn’t know.
“What does this have to do with you wanting to join us?” Chen Wen asked.
Just because of the changes in the young dragons, they wanted to join them and acknowledge him as their boss. This reason was definitely not enough.
Yali said: “Some things have also appeared in our bloodline memories, but unlike the young dragons, ours are rather blurry.”
Even the adult dragons’ bloodline memories had changed?
His bloodline memory hadn’t changed. He turned to look at Second Brother and the others. Second Brother and the others shook their heads, and the other dragons did the same. They hadn’t noticed any changes in their bloodline memories.
“What appeared in your bloodline memories?” Chen Wen asked.
Yali said: “A blurry figure appeared, standing in front of all the dragons, receiving the worship of all the dragons. The bloodline memory tells us that he is the king of the Dragon Clan. By following the Dragon King, we can become stronger, we can defeat other races, and dominate the world.”
Chen Wen: …
Is that king me?
No wonder his subordinates’ bloodline memories hadn’t changed; they had already acknowledged him as their boss.
Chen Wen asked: “How can you be sure that figure is me?”
“
