Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

He stopped in front of a tall booth and pointed.

"For enthusiasts like you, this is the simplest and most direct way to learn about the cultural relics of Chinese culture!"

Zhang Yi looked in the direction his finger was pointing.

The moment he saw the artifacts in the display case, his pupils contracted slightly uncontrollably.

In recent years, there are definitely not many things that can surprise him so much.

But he believed that no matter which Huaxu country's people were, they would have the same, or even more exaggerated, reaction when they saw it for the first time.

Because in that display case that was protected by three layers of protection, there was actually a golden dragon!

It was not a sculpture or a work of art, but a lifelike specimen.

It is not big, only about the size of a palm. With Zhang Yi's eyesight, he can clearly see that its appearance is completely consistent with the ancient legend.

It was golden in color, with a slender body, four claws, and a horn on its head. Because it was so ancient, the claws and head were a little sloppy, but the dragon shape was very complete.

If he had seen it somewhere else, Zhang Yi would definitely suspect that it was just a simple handicraft.

But it happened to appear in the O-ryoku National Museum in Edo.

And Zhang Yi remembered that he had seen this news on the news before.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, the shock is even stronger!

The man with glasses seemed very satisfied with Zhang Yi's reaction.

"How about it? Isn't it interesting? This is the dragon from Chinese legend. In their culture, they regard it as an ancestor."

"The Huaxu people claim that their ancestors were dragons. Isn't that interesting? They are clearly bipedal primates, yet they consider reptiles to be their ancestors."

Zhang Yi pointed at the golden dragon and asked, "But, isn't this supposed to be a legendary creature? Why do I feel like this thing is just a model? It can't be real, right?"

The man with glasses replied, "Don't talk nonsense! This is clearly recorded in history. He bought it from the land of Huaxu Country at a huge expense!"

The man with glasses shrugged.

"In the past, the existence of these mythical creatures seemed unbelievable, but in today's world, all kinds of strange and bizarre things have appeared!"

His voice suddenly became low, he adjusted his glasses, and turned his head to look into the distance.

"It's just like the gods in myths and legends, the ghosts and monsters that roam the night, and the bizarre creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"In certain special times, their existence is no longer unusual."

Zhang Yi said calmly, "For example, now?"

"That's right!"

The man with glasses nodded.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and stared at the golden dragon that was only the size of a palm.

The creatures he saw beneath the Qinling Abyss emerged in his mind.

That white creature, almost dragon-like in shape, that can transform into a human body—officially known as Bai Longzi.

-

Note: Regarding the naming of Bailongzi. Different races have different languages. Humans named it "Bailongzi," while the races beneath the Qinling Abyss have other names, translated as "Bailongzi." Here, we'll simply call it "Bailongzi" for ease of understanding. The same applies to other beings that appeared later.

While Zhang Yi was thinking, a voice sounded again beside him.

"Maeda, if you have time to stay here and chat with [people], you might as well go to the Master and listen to his instructions!"

A woman came from behind, a very tall woman with long, thick black hair.

Her hair reaches her waist, and her big eyes are as black as ink, with the pupils taking up 80% of the eyes, a proportion usually only seen in comics.

But if a real person looks like this, it will give people a strange sense of beauty.
