Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Just now Vincent said that the only exit of this world is hidden next to 'God'?" Chu Zihang said, "Does this mean that the exit of Nibelungen is actually hidden on the island where the white figure in the center is?"

"What's the difference between that and seeking death?" Lu Mingfei said with a frown.

"I actually find it quite ironic. The only way to survive is hidden in a dead end. If the white figure is really a Dragon King, it would be easy for Him to kill us." Chu Tianjiao said, "So I didn't tell Sasha and the others this. I was afraid that if they knew it, they would lose all motivation to escape. I was still thinking about how to leave this island when Vincent, who was about to die, suddenly showed signs of abnormality again."

"Vincent's eyes widened, and a few vague words came out of his completely dry throat. He said, 'Run!' and 'He is coming to find you!' Then, just before he died, a gray-white strip fell from the sky and wrapped around Vincent's entire body." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was a gray-white bandage, very long, like a shroud, which wrapped Vincent into a 'cocoon' shape. He was hung up in front of us, and the other end of the bandage extended into the leaves of the giant tree. Under our gaze, Vincent turned into one of those 'cocoons' and became a part of this island."

"At the same time, the huge tree in the center of the island began to sway wildly, and the plants on the entire island were swaying. The giant snakes we saw before appeared in the distance. They crawled on the ground, and their huge bodies couldn't stop shaking, as if they were frightened by something." Chu Tianjiao described the scene at that time, "All the 'cocoons' were also shaking violently. Almost half of them fell from the tree. Some were human-shaped, some were snake-shaped, and some were even more bizarre. The parts of them that showed bandages showed the characteristics of dragons, just like those giant snakes. They crawled on the ground, trembling and whimpering in fear."

"We all had a premonition that something was really coming." Chu Tianjiao said, "I suddenly felt a huge fear that not only enveloped me, but also enveloped the entire island, and even the entire world. The blood in my body was rushing wildly. That was the dragon blood. Something made the dragon blood in my body boil."

"I realized the danger, so I shouted to Sasha and the others to run!" Chu Tianjiao said, "Everyone reacted and we started running. Behind us, the huge tree, the crawling 'cocoons', and the giant snakes stopped trembling at some point, as if they had received a pardon, and they chased after us."

"'Time Zero', I used 'Time Zero' again. This time, I didn't target any of the crew members. My target was the pursuers behind me, but 'Time Zero' had little effect on them." Chu Tianjiao said, "I could feel that my physical strength had reached its limit. Sasha had also lost too much blood. The other crew members also roared in exhaustion, but none of us stopped. We forced ourselves to take a step forward again and again, running madly."

Chapter 1093 The Coming of “God”

"Didn't those things behind you catch up with us?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"I don't know. We could hear shouting and the rustling of leaves behind us, but no one looked back. The crew members were terrified and everyone was running for their lives." Chu Tianjiao said, "They probably haven't been so tired in their lives, but I swear they have never run so fast in their lives. In that state, they can easily win the championship whether they participate in a world-class marathon championship or a track and field sprint competition."

"How do you determine the direction of escape?" Chu Zihang asked again.

"There's no way to be sure. Everyone was just trying to escape. At first, they were running away from the tree and the 'cocoon', and then they were chased by the roaring sounds behind them." Chu Tianjiao said, "It wasn't until I couldn't maintain the 'time zero' field that I came to my senses. We had already entered a fog, and the roaring and chasing sounds behind us disappeared at some point, just like the fog we encountered when we first entered the Nibelung. We couldn't see clearly in all directions, and those strange gray-white plants disappeared, as if we had unknowingly run out of the island and came to some unknown place."

"Have you passed the bridge?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.

"No, we have been running on land. Theoretically, we should still be on the island, but we seem to have left the island in the fog." Chu Tianjiao said, "The crew members finally began to relax when they realized that the danger behind them seemed to have disappeared. Some wanted to stop and rest, while others wanted to collapse on the ground and sleep soundly. I saw that the cuffs of Sasha's broken arm were stained with blood again. I was cruel and did not let them rest. I urged them to keep moving forward because I knew it was not time to relax. The invisible threat was only temporary. As long as we were trapped in Nibelungen, danger would be everywhere."

"We continued to move forward in the thick fog and unknowingly stepped into the sea. We didn't know when the land under our feet turned into shallow water. We looked back and could no longer see the shadow of the island. There was only thick fog. We were shrouded in fog in all directions and couldn't tell east, south, west, or north. It was just like when we first arrived in Nibelungen." Chu Tianjiao said, "Only in a certain direction, which should be considered directly in front of us, we could vaguely see a huge and blurry black shadow hidden in the fog. It looked like an island from the outline."

"There was endless water in front of us and thick fog behind us. No one dared to jump into the water rashly, let alone turn back to retreat in the direction we came from. The crew and I stood on the shallow reef and walked with difficulty." Chu Tianjiao said, "Just when we were at our wits' end, a black shadow appeared in the fog and slowly came in front of us. It turned out to be a boat."

"Boat?" Chu Zihang said in a low voice, and everyone in the room frowned.

"It was a wooden boat, slowly passing through the fog and coming in front of us. It cut through the calm water without any wind and silently." Chu Tianjiao said, "Some crew members were frightened by this scene, while others felt that there is always a way out. This is a way of survival given to us by God. We can escape by riding this boat. Sasha came to my side, he looked at the boat with a complicated look in his eyes, and asked me in a low voice if I still remembered the story of the legendary 'Avalon'."

"The paradise in Welsh mythology is shrouded by sea water, swamps and fog. It is the legendary resting place of King Arthur, the place of 'death' and 'eternal life'. It can only be reached by a small boat." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha said that now he really believes that the legendary 'Avalon' really exists. I have also confirmed with my own eyes that the myth is true. It is a documentary history, a history of the dragon clan. 'Avalon' refers to the Nibelungen of a certain dragon king."

"Sasha suddenly told me that he believed it. I looked at him in confusion. I didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Sasha told me that he believed what I said before. He believed that dragons really existed in this world, because even 'God' existed, so what was impossible about dragons?" Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha looked at the wooden boat. He asked me what I should do, whether I should get on the boat, whether it would take us to where 'God' was, and whether that was a way to life or hell."

It seems that after experiencing that strange island and Vincent's incident, Sasha's original worldview had probably collapsed a long time ago, and so did the other crew members. However, the human brain has a self-defense mechanism, and it is generally difficult to accept things that one does not want to believe. However, Sasha's ability to accept is definitely very strong compared to ordinary people. After suffering such serious injuries and experiencing such terrible things, his spirit has not collapsed. Instead, he can calm down and think about the current situation, as well as the matters of "God" and dragons. This rough but delicate Russian man is indeed worthy of being the acting captain of the "Yamal".

"I can't answer Sasha, because we can't retreat. Going back to the island with those giant snakes, those 'cocoons' and that giant tree again is undoubtedly a dead end, and these crew members are definitely unwilling to go back." Chu Tianjiao paused, "But if we really get on that ship, what's the difference between that and walking into a trap? That white humanoid, the so-called 'god' is definitely more powerful than the creatures on that island. Can we really have a chance of survival if we drag ourselves to find the 'god' with our injuries all over our bodies?"

"You finally boarded that ship, right?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"I was forced to make the decision because of the situation and the crew's desire to survive. When the first person jumped onto the boat, I hadn't reacted yet. But once the first person jumped onto the boat, there would be a second and a third. Everyone rushed to squeeze onto the slightly cramped boat." Chu Tianjiao said slowly, "In the end, Sasha and I were the only ones left standing on the shallow reef. The boat was so crowded that there was no standing room. But it didn't flip or sink, and it still floated lightly on the water."

"If a small boat can carry so many people at the same time and its draft does not change, this cannot be explained by buoyancy alone." Chu Zihang whispered, "It seems that God has only left you one choice."

"No, there are other ways. I thought of it at the time. When I saw the crowded boat, an idea popped into my mind." Chu Tianjiao said, "I don't have to get on that boat, but I don't have to worry about sinking or physical problems. I can grab the stern and use the boat as a power source. Anyway, there is not enough space on top. And I always have a bad feeling in my heart. Getting on that boat is like stepping into a trap... a trap prepared for us by the 'God'."

"Originally, Sasha wanted to go into the water with me, but his injuries were so severe. He'd lost a lot of blood from the cut on his arm, and soaking in cold water would easily cause him to get hypothermia," Chu Tianjiao said. "So I sent Sasha aboard, but I was also cautious. I had Sasha stay at the stern, as there was no room to stand. I had Sasha sit on the edge of the boat, and I supported him from behind."

Lu Mingfei and the others were all amazed at Chu Tianjiao's wisdom, as he was able to find such a way out in a trap that seemed like a dead end.

"After all the crew members got on board, the wooden boat began to move. It moved forward slowly. There was no wind and no power source, but it kept moving straight in the fog, leaving scars on the mirror-like surface of the water and silently healing them behind us." Chu Tianjiao said, "The cold water calmed my body temperature and brain. I soaked in the water, following the boat's slow progress, thinking about Vincent's last words in my mind. He said that the world's retreat is with God. I never understood what this sentence meant. I thought maybe it meant that the exit of Nibelungen was hidden on the island where the white figure was, but I couldn't imagine what form that exit would take. We sank into the sea when we entered Nibelungen, so what about the exit? It can't be a door, right?"

After hearing Chu Tianjiao's words, everyone in the room fell into deep thought. The entrance to the Nibelung was sinking into the sea in such an abstract way, so the exit should not be something as concrete as a "door", right?

So what is on the island where the white figure is? Everyone recalled the painting of "Island of Death" in Vincent's room described by Chu Tianjiao, wondering if there was anything missing.

"I don't know how long it took, the boat was still traveling in the fog, the crew members on the boat suddenly started to talk in low voices, Sasha turned his head to look at me, he asked me if I felt hot." Chu Tianjiao said, "Hot? I really didn't feel it, because my whole body was soaked in cold water, like a fish frozen in ice, I even had to rely on my bloodline to maintain my body temperature, how could I feel hot? But the crew members on the boat were talking louder and louder, some were even taking off the suede wrapped around their necks, I saw sweat oozing from Sasha's pale forehead."

"I realized that Sasha really didn't lie to me. He really felt the heat. The body's reaction won't lie. But this is very strange, because since we entered this Nibelungen, it seems that we have lost the ability to perceive temperature. This world can't be said to be cold or hot. As long as you are not soaked in water, you will not feel uncomfortable no matter how many clothes you wear." Chu Tianjiao said, "I heard some crew members say that they saw light in the fog ahead, but my sight was blocked by the boat, and I could only see the fog."

"Gradually, I found that the fog became lighter, and I actually felt the heat, even though I was soaking in cold water. I also saw light, not in front of me, but in the reflection of the water." Chu Tianjiao said, "The red-orange light was like a burning flame, or a burning sun. The sea water around me was dyed a light golden color. This is something we have never seen in this Nibelungen. I want to know what is happening in front of me."

"At this time, Sasha turned around and whispered to me that there was an island ahead of us. I asked him what the island looked like, and Sasha said he couldn't see it clearly because it was shrouded in light. We could only see it when the boat got closer to the island." Chu Tianjiao said, "But as the boat got closer to the island, the light became brighter and brighter, like a blazing fire. The crew members on the wooden boat and Sasha all turned around, unable to look directly at the dazzling light. Even I could feel the water temperature getting higher, and the reflections in the water became brighter, so bright that it was blinding."

"What is that?" Caesar asked in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo both lowered their heads, lost in thought.

"The crew couldn't see what it was because the light was too hot and too dazzling. They thought it was the sun rising in front of them. I was the only one who saw it clearly." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "It was a reflection. I saw it from the reflection of the water. Although my eyes were almost blinded by the glare, I squinted and finally saw the shape of the light. The moment I saw it, I suddenly realized that my ominous premonition had really come true!"

Everyone in the room subconsciously held their breath. Everyone was curious about what Chu Tianjiao had seen that caused him to react so violently.

"That's a person." Chu Tianjiao said in a low voice.

"Alone?" Caesar raised his eyebrows.

"To be precise, it was a human figure. He was wearing a white robe, and his exposed arms were wrapped in grayish-white bandages. His pupils were golden, like flowing lava, and golden flames were burning around him, like a ball of sun." Chu Tianjiao said, "The light that the crew and I saw came from that human figure. Behind him was a huge island. Through the bright light, we could vaguely see black coffins all over the island. The most terrifying thing was that the wooden boat had stopped at some point, and we saw the light getting brighter and brighter because the white human figure was approaching us quickly."

Everyone in the room's faces changed. No wonder Chu Tianjiao was so panicked, because "God" took action. Vincent was right, that thing really came in person.

"The entire sky was dyed golden. Very quickly, as that thing approached, it carried with it a huge majesty, like a mountain reaching the sky pushing towards us. The whole world was shaking wildly." Chu Tianjiao said, "The sea surface, which had always been calm, began to ripple, one higher than the other, and finally turned into a raging tide taller than a person. I was tossed in the water with the wooden boat and was almost submerged several times."

“I don’t know why our experience was different from the myth about taking a canoe to reach ‘Avalon’ in the mist, but I realized at that time that what Vincent said was true. That thing was definitely not a human. It could be called a ‘god’ or a devil. It was something beyond human comprehension.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Its arrival was like the end of the world. I shouted at the crew to leave the canoe quickly, but no one responded. My voice was swallowed by the arrival of that thing.”

Chapter 1094: Place of Death

"The white figure wrapped in flames was approaching us very quickly," Chu Tianjiao said. "In front of me, Sasha suddenly bent down. I saw all the crew members in front of him crawling down. But because there were too many people on the boat, they could only stick to each other's backs."

“Sasha was sitting at the stern, and he nearly fell when he bent over. I held him up and shouted his name, but he didn’t respond at all.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Then I realized that all the crew members were crawling towards that white figure. Their movements were like a group of brainwashed believers, devoutly worshipping a ‘god’… it just looked a little funny because there were so many people and the boat was so crowded.”

"That 'God', can control their consciousness without giving them masks?" Caesar asked seriously.

“No, it wasn’t until that white figure was close enough to us that I could see his eyes directly instead of looking at his reflection on the water that I realized that Sasha’s crew members were not being controlled by him.” Chu Tianjiao paused, “They were crawling subconsciously because of the pressure.”

“Just like the creatures on the island before would tremble at his arrival, the moment I looked into his eyes, the blood in my body almost froze, and at that moment I realized that it was definitely a being above the Dragon King level.” Chu Tianjiao whispered, “His golden pupils were bright and scorching, and it seemed like magma was flowing in his eyes. Around him, the flames in the sky repeatedly refracted on waves, like a burning fire surging on the sea. That thing came with light, heat, and endless majesty. His arrival made the whole world tremble, as if heaven and earth were in panic.”

"Dragon King..." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice. Hearing Chu Tianjiao's narration, his mind unconsciously recalled the Dragon Kings he had seen before.

Norton, Jörmungandr and Fenrir...these three dragon kings did not seem to show such exaggerated oppressive power when they appeared. Of course, this was probably because they did not regard Lu Mingfei as an enemy.

Lu Mingfei thought that the only person who could compare with the white figure described by Chu Tianjiao was Herzog... Herzog who stole the throne of the White King. The moment he ascended the throne, Japan's volcanoes erupted collectively, the continental shelf and the ocean were shaking, and the tsunami submerged the coast of Tokyo, as if the whole world was shaking.

"The sea water became as hot as magma. I suddenly realized that it was not the waves that reflected the light of the flames, but the sea water that was really burning. The place where we were was shrouded in endless light and heat, as if the whole world was burning." Chu Tianjiao said, "The wooden boat also began to burn, but the people on the boat were indifferent. They were still shrouded by the majesty of the white figure. This is the suppression power of the 'God' over mortals. He didn't even need to lift a finger to kill those people. My ominous premonition really came true. At the same time, I was also glad that I didn't board that boat, otherwise it would be difficult for me to escape from the crew's packages and I might have been burned to death on it."

"The white figure hovered above our heads, with an indifferent and ruthless look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a group of lowly ants. Some crew members' clothes had already started to burn. They bent over, groaning in pain and fear, but they couldn't move under the great majesty of the 'God'." Chu Tianjiao said, "I was the only one who could move. I realized that I couldn't save everyone this time. Even I wasn't sure I could escape from the gaze of the white figure."

"Are they all dead?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"I don't know, but there was someone who escaped with me, and that person was Sasha." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "At the last moment, I pushed Sasha into the water. Sasha woke up after falling into the water. I shouted in his ear to let him sink into the water with me. The distance from me was enough to burst his eardrums. Sasha looked at the burning wooden boat and the burning figures on the boat. He gritted his teeth and sank into the water with me."

"The buoyancy of the water in the Nibelungen is very strong. Sasha and I had to use all our strength to stay underwater, because if we emerged from the water, we would be dead. The entire water surface was burning, and white humanoid figures in the sky were watching the burning water and the burning boat." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha and I passed under the boat. When we were underwater, we seemed to hear the screams of pain and fear coming from above our heads, but that might just be a misunderstanding because we were too panicked. Those crew members might just be burning quietly, powerless to greet death. The entire wooden boat was wrapped in raging flames, and we could feel its heat underwater, as if there was a blazing fireball hanging over our heads."

"Sasha doesn't have dragon blood, but as a sailor who has been sailing in the Arctic Ocean for many years, his lung capacity is much stronger than that of ordinary people. We don't know how long we held our breath, but we were all short of oxygen. We left the boat underwater, and finally we lost our strength and were swept away by the waves." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was just like the feeling when we jumped off the Yamal and sank into the Arctic Ocean. We didn't know how long we drifted until we were all washed ashore by the waves."

"Sasha and I looked back. The sea was still burning. The biggest flame on the wooden boat was far away from us. We couldn't hold our breath to reach that far, mostly because of the pushing of the waves." Chu Tianjiao said, "My eyesight is better than Sasha's. In the blazing fire, I could vaguely see a few twisting black shadows. They struggled like dying snakes and fell down powerlessly. But I didn't tell Sasha what I saw. It was too cruel for him."

"Have you reached the shore?" Chu Zihang said.

"Yes, what appeared in front of us was an island, a grayish-white island. The island was very large, but extremely empty. There was nothing except the center of the island. It was filled with a sense of death and nothingness, as if it were an empty land." Chu Tianjiao said, "Countless huge black squares filled the center of the island. From a distance, I recognized what they were. They were the black coffins surrounding the white humanoid on the most central island that we saw in the painting of 'Isle of Death'."

"So you arrived at the island in the center?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes, we happened to come to that island. I remembered what Vincent said, that the exit of the Nibelungen Land is on this island. Although this island gave me a deep sense of foreboding, we had no choice but to go deeper if we wanted to survive." Chu Tianjiao said, "I turned around and prepared to call Sasha, but Sasha kept turning his head to look in the direction we came from. I thought he was mourning and heartbroken for their dead comrades, but Sasha's next words gave me a chill down my spine."

"What did he say?" Caesar asked in a low voice.

"Sasha said... 'Where did that figure flying in the sky go?'" Chu Tianjiao said slowly.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

“Yes, I had the same reaction as you guys do now. No, my reaction was more intense than yours.” Chu Tianjiao said, “After Sasha said that, my face changed instantly. I realized that I had overlooked the most dangerous thing. I subconsciously scanned the sky, but I didn’t see the white figure. At that moment, I felt the blood in my body run cold.”

"Nibelungen is the land of the dead. It is full of dangers for the living. The biggest threat is the white humanoid. He has the ability to easily destroy living things. It is a miracle that Sasha and I can reach the last island." Chu Tianjiao changed the subject, "But it is far from time to relax. We are still not out of danger, and we don't even know where the exit of Nibelungen is on the island. So I whispered to Sasha that we must evacuate quickly."

"We moved towards the center of the island, stepping on the gray-white gravel. This sand looked like the same material as the white stones on the first few islands, and it was hard enough to wear through the soles of our shoes. Although Sasha and I were already bruised and exhausted, we still rushed forward because we didn't know when the white figure would appear." Chu Tianjiao said, "This is a race against time. Sasha and I's actions determine our life and death. If we haven't found the exit to the Nibelungen Land on this island before the white figure appears in front of us, we will probably be stuck there forever."

The situation at that time should have been quite anxious. Although Chu Tianjiao is alive and well now, when he mentioned this experience, after so many years, there was still a hint of fear and dread in his tone.

"Sasha and I ran very fast on the island. Even though the soles of our shoes were worn out by the white sand and our feet were bleeding, it didn't slow us down. I overused Time Zero and Sasha was seriously injured. We were exhausted a long time ago, but we wanted to squeeze every last bit of strength out of our bodies with the remaining desire to survive." Chu Tianjiao smiled bitterly. "It's quite ironic to say that. Looking back, Sasha and I were really like two ants struggling to escape."

"The desire to survive is a human instinct. The desire to survive in a desperate situation is not humble." Caesar said slowly, "Besides, 'God' is not such a great thing."

Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked deeply into Caesar's sea-blue eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Sasha and I crossed the white sand beach and finally arrived at the center of the island. When we got closer, I found that not all the coffins were huge. They were of different sizes and there was almost no pattern, just like the cocoons hanging on the replica world tree." Chu Tianjiao continued, "The largest coffin might be dozens of meters long, and the smallest is smaller than a normal adult man. Some coffins are tightly closed, and some are open with nothing inside."

"Are those coffins the same as the one you saw in Vincent's room?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's the same material, cold, heavy and hard." Chu Tianjiao seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that when I saw the coffin containing Xi Te'la's body, I felt a sense of disharmony. I didn't understand where this feeling of disharmony came from at the time, but later I figured it out. When I saw Xi Te'la's body in the coffin, his body was stretched out and lying flat, and his head and feet just happened to fit in with the upper and lower sides of the coffin."

"Uncle Chu, you mean that the length of the inside of the coffin is exactly the same as Xitelao's height?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked.

"Yes." Chu Tianjiao nodded.

"But the coffin was fished out of the sea by the crew of the Yamal?" Nono frowned and said, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence? It feels like the coffin was created just to hold Xi Te La's body."

"Yes, that's why I felt uncomfortable, but I didn't notice it at the time." Chu Tianjiao said, "There is no coffin in this world that is designed to fit the height of the deceased. And that coffin looks so old. It has existed even longer than the lifespan of Xi Te La. How could the person who made the coffin predict that it would belong to the evil head of the inner pawns in the future?"

"The sealed coffin lids were so heavy that we couldn't move at all. But the closer we got to the center of the island, the more empty the coffins became. The outer coffins were almost all sealed, but the inner coffins were almost all open." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha and I stopped in front of a huge coffin and looked at the contents of the coffin. We both fell silent."

"The coffin was open, but it was not empty. It was about seven or eight meters long, and a skeleton filled its space." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "In other words, it was a seven or eight meter long skeleton. It should have been even larger when it was alive, but now that it's dead, only the bones are left that fit the coffin perfectly. That thing has a slender spine and disproportionately short limbs. Its teeth are sharper than the fangs of a beast, and its head is covered with hideous bone spurs. The hideous periosteum forms the shape of wings behind it."

"Is that a dragon-shaped Deadpool... or a real dragon?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. That thing looks like it has been dead for many, many years, but its bones have not been corroded or weathered. It looks like a well-preserved specimen." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "Sasha stood in front of this thing for a long time. Finally, he showed a miserable smile. I heard Sasha whispered, what are the years he has lived for? What are we humans to this world?"

"It's normal for humans to have a huge impact on their worldview when they first come into direct contact with dragons," Chu Zihang said. "When I first entered school, I also found it hard to believe that dragons really existed in this world."

Chapter 1095 Dead End, Way to Life

"In fact, I am no less shocked than Sasha." Chu Tianjiao said slowly, "If every coffin here contains a dragon corpse, then how many dragons are buried in this Nibelungen?"

"Perhaps the 'Kingdom of Death' in alchemical mythology refers to this Nibelungen," Chu Zihang whispered, "Those hard white stones may be some rare alchemical substances. This island is called the 'Island of Death' in legend, and it hides the secrets of death and 'eternal life'. This coincides with the legend of the 'Kingdom of Death'. If those coffins are all filled with dragon corpses, perhaps this Nibelungen is the burial place of dragons, just like the Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt."

"Brother, is it possible that the legendary 'Kingdom of Death' refers to all of Nibelung?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei, and everyone else in the room also looked at Lu Mingfei, waiting for his explanation.

"The legendary Nibelungen is the final resting place of heroic souls. It does not belong to the living and is filled with death. There are dead bones, fog, and huge towns that cannot be built by humans. Legend has it that there is also a rare fifth element among alchemical substances." Lu Mingfei looked around at everyone and whispered, "Does it sound like the collection of all the Nibelungen we have encountered?"

Everyone in the room was silent for a moment. Nuo Nuo looked up at Lu Mingfei and said, "But if the legendary 'Kingdom of Death' describes one of the Nibelungs, then this description is more consistent with the Nibelung that Uncle Chu encountered, isn't it?"

"Because I always have a feeling." Lu Mingfei said.

"Feeling?" Nuonuo raised his eyebrows.

"The Nibelungen that Uncle Chu encountered, I feel that the owner of that Nibelungen seems to be deliberately making his Nibelungen into the final world that can replace all Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei said slowly, "Since Uncle Chu mentioned the huge imitation world tree, I feel a little strange, because no matter whether it is the Nibelungen of the King of Bronze and Fire or the Nibelungen of the King of Earth and Mountains, they have basically not changed much after they were built, especially the Bronze City, which has remained the same for thousands of years."

“But the Nibelungen that Uncle Chu entered is like a huge artificial petri dish. The owner of this Nibelungen attempted to replicate a world tree. He left the coordinates of other Nibelungen in the Nibelungen and collected so many dragon corpses.” Lu Mingfei paused and said slowly, “From these actions, I seem to be able to see a certain ambition… an ambition greater than Herzog’s.”

"What is his purpose?" Nuonuo asked Lu Mingfei in a low voice.

"Replace the ancient black emperor and become the new emperor of the dragon world." Lu Mingfei said softly.

There were gasps in the room, and then a long silence fell. The best young people of the Secret Party looked at each other, exchanging surprise in their eyes... If the owner of this Nibelungen really has such a huge ambition, perhaps he will become one of the biggest obstacles in the Secret Party's journey to destroy the dragon clan.

"Mingfei's statement is very likely." Chu Tianjiao suddenly spoke. He glanced at Lu Mingfei and said, "After leaving the coffin containing the dragon bones, Sasha and I walked deeper into the island. The coffins here are even bigger, each more than ten meters long. Only a few are closed, and the others are almost all open, with nothing inside. In fact, Sasha and I should have gone to find the exit of Nibelungen at this time, but from a distance, one of the coffins attracted my attention. I walked over with Sasha and finally stopped in front of that coffin."

"What's attracting you inside?" Chu Zihang asked.

"A corpse, a dragon corpse." Chu Tianjiao said slowly with a serious expression, "It's no longer a skeleton like before, nor is it something between a dragon-shaped Deadpool and a dragon. This is a real dragon."

The expressions of everyone in the room changed.

"It is more than ten meters long, and of course the coffin is also that huge, perfectly fitting its huge body. It has complete flesh and blood and scales on its body, horns, claws and wings. It is so perfect and terrifying, looking like a combination of an angel and a demon. When you see it, you can't help but sigh that it is definitely the most perfect creation in the world." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "It lies quietly in the coffin, not like death, but more like a long sleep. Even though it is a corpse, you can feel its majesty when it was alive, as if it might open its eyes at any time and stare at you with its captivating golden eyes. This is the innate disparity between species and bloodlines."

"What level of dragon was this corpse when it was alive?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Tianjiao, "Uncle, can you tell?"

"At least a third-generation species." Chu Tianjiao paused, then changed his words, "No, it's more likely a second-generation species. Even a corpse is enough to speed up the flow of dragon blood in my body. I've fought against third-generation level enemies before, and the pressure displayed by that corpse is more like that of a noble second-generation species, or even a prince with a title from the ancient dragon clan."

"This level of complete dragon corpse has never been obtained in the history of the secret party." Caesar said, "The more noble the bloodline of a dragon, the harder it is to kill it. The Gattuso family has the remains of a third-generation dragon and the bones of a second-generation dragon. Those things are already the highest-level forbidden items in the Gattuso family's secret library. If this complete second-generation corpse is leaked to the outside world, it is likely to cause a war between mixed-blood organizations around the world."

"A complete dragon corpse is a priceless treasure. It has immeasurable value for both scientific research and material extraction." Chu Zihang nodded, agreeing with Caesar's statement, "If there is more than one such corpse in the Nibelungen, its owner must be a dragon king-level being."

"My bloodline can still withstand the pressure of that corpse, but Sasha almost knelt down in front of the coffin. He was already very weak. Fortunately, I supported him in time." Chu Tianjiao said, "I saw the fear on Sasha's face. His lips were trembling. Looking at the corpse of the pure-blooded dragon, Sasha couldn't utter a word for a long time. If the last dragon skeleton had a huge impact on his worldview, then this corpse shattered his worldview again and again. I believe he will never forget the experience of that day."

“Sometimes what scares people the most is not death, but the unknown,” Chu Zihang said. “Humanity’s biggest nightmare is always something beyond imagination.”

"Just like the aliens in 'The Three-Body Problem'." Lu Mingfei gave an example. "To Sasha, that corpse is no different from the aliens from the Three-Body System. Dragons are a dimensionality reduction attack on ordinary humans."

"I really want to take that body with me, but I know that's impossible. Seeing Sasha's terrified expression, I realized that our most important thing right now is to escape from Nibelungen before the white figures discover us," Chu Tianjiao said. "But there's nothing on that island except coffins. There are no doors, no caves, and no so-called exits. Those huge, black coffins sunk underground are like a maze. Sasha and I are like mice that have strayed into the maze. If we don't find the exit before our master discovers us, we'll be trapped here for the rest of our lives."

Searching for a way out among a group of coffins and corpses was a pretty desperate situation, mainly because Vincent's original description was a bit abstract. He only said that the exit was next to the white figure. This description was like saying that bacteria are hidden in the human mouth. You know where it is, but you can't find it.

"Then Sasha and I came to the center of the island. Coffins of more than ten meters are considered small here. There are many coffins over twenty meters long." Chu Tianjiao said, "But the strange thing is that there are ten coffins in the center of the island, eight of which are surrounded by the two in the middle. How should I describe that arrangement..."
