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

"So that guy has full confidence in you and Old Tang." Lu Mingfei said, "He subconsciously believes that you will be able to leave the Nibelungen in the end because he witnessed Old Tang's 'Jun Yan'?"

"That's one reason. Another reason is that he believes that the person who paid for Sasha's medical expenses and bought flowers for Sasha is the man with 'supernatural power' who boarded the 'Yamal' more than 20 years ago." Xia Mi said, "Because as far as he knows, none of his former companions on the 'Yamal' have such a silent and romantic style. And since that person can pay the medical expenses, order flowers for Sasha, and come to visit him, it at least proves that he is not in a coma or incapacitated like Sasha. His intuition tells him that if there is really someone who can escape from the hell described by Sasha, it is probably the man with 'supernatural power'."

"And this time, he witnessed Old Tang's power with his own eyes. His intuition told him that Old Tang and I would be stronger than that mysterious man more than 20 years ago." Xia Mi continued, "He didn't say that he was pinning all his hopes on us. Instead, he told us a small request. It doesn't matter if we don't agree. He doesn't have the courage to risk his life to explore the truth of the 'Isle of Death'. He has already made this choice, so he has no regrets."

"I think there will still be some regrets." Chu Zihang suddenly spoke.

“Let’s put it another way. Does this guy have some kind of weird intuition?” Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but complain. “Every time, his intuition tells him the right thing. The key is that this guy’s intuition is really accurate!”

"The crew of the Yamal couldn't persuade Lao Tang and me, so they quickly brought Lao Tang and me the diving suits and oxygen cylinders that they had prepared in advance." Xia Mi said, "I have experience in training in the executive department, and this guy also has experience as a hunter, so we both moved pretty quickly."

"So, people like you also need diving suits and oxygen tanks to dive into the sea?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously, "I thought the sea water was not a threat to you."

Because Lu Mingfei recalled the scene when he saw Eri in the deep sea. For a super hybrid like Eri, sea water and pressure no longer posed a threat, let alone dragon kings like Xia Mi and Lao Tang.

"It's not threatening, but it's safer to wear it." Xia Mi said, "After all, we are breaking into someone else's territory, so it doesn't hurt to have more insurance. Although if we really fight those two guys, these things on us will be useless."

"Who said it was useless?" Old Tang retorted, "I brought flash bombs, helium cylinders, and tear gas. Don't look down on human advanced technology, okay?"

"You are a complete jerk." Lu Mingfei said mercilessly, "Stop slandering other people's cutting-edge technology, okay?"

"How did you feel when you entered the sea?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi.

"What do you feel? I don't feel anything." Xia Mi thought for a while, "I just felt like I passed through a layer of elemental barrier, and then entered Nibelungen from the real world. There's nothing new about this, right?"

You are the Dragon King, so of course you don’t find it strange. Chu Tianjiao felt like he was about to ascend to heaven at that time. Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

Chapter 1127 The Mature World Tree

Therefore, the Dragon King and the hybrids’ sensitivity to elements are not at the same level at all.

"After passing through the elemental barrier, Lao Tang and I successfully entered the Nibelungen. To be honest, the scale of the Nibelungen was much smaller than I imagined." Xia Mi said, "I originally thought that the Nibelungen of the King of Sky and Wind would be something huge."

"Is it very small? That Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused, because in Chu Tianjiao's description, the edge of Nibelungen seemed to be very far away.

"The size of a Nibelungen does not depend on its visual size, but on the actual scale and strength of its main body." Xia Mi said, "For example, my Nibelungen looks big enough, right? The intricate underground railways and mountain-like rock walls, but in fact, many of them are useless spaces, and the construction of my Nibelungen basically has no technical content compared to other people's Nibelungen."

"What about Odin's Nibelung?" Chu Zihang asked, referring to the Nibelung that covered the city.

"This new Nibelungen seems to be very large, exceeding the scope of a city, but in fact it is also very empty." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "There are many densely packed buildings, but they have no practical significance. Just like my ability can control the earth element and force, so it is very convenient to open up a vast underground space, and Odin's ability can distort reality, so it is also convenient for him to replicate a large area of ​​buildings. This is all opportunistic. In fact, the Nibelungen in this city is large and empty, and extremely unstable. To put it bluntly, it is a defective product."

"What about Old Tang's Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei looked at Old Tang, because he had been to that bronze city and the shock it brought to him at that time still left a deep impression on him.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this guy's Nibelungen is indeed the most powerful among us." Xia Mi sighed and glanced at Lao Tang. "His Nibelungen, the Bronze City, is both large and powerful. The Nibelungen of the Sky and Wind King and I is far inferior to the Bronze City. Do you know why?"

"Is it because of the difference in alchemy levels?" Chu Zihang put forward his own guess, "I heard from the vice-president and others that the legendary country of the dead, Nibelungen, is the ultimate holy land pursued by all alchemists. There is a fifth type of element that does not exist in the real world. Since Nibelungen was created by the Dragon King and the foundation of the Seven Structures is based on alchemy, then the scale and strength of Nibelungen should be related to the alchemy level of the owner of Nibelungen."

"So smart!" Xia Mi praised Chu Zihang without hesitation, "Your analysis is completely correct. Norton and Constantine control the element of fire. Their alchemy level is recognized as the strongest among us. Except for the two ancient emperors, the Bronze City is the pinnacle of all the Nibelungs. It's just that Norton was not here at the time, and Constantine hadn't awakened yet. The Bronze City you saw didn't even exert one tenth of its original power."

"I see." Lu Mingfei glanced at Lao Tang, patted his chest and said with some fear, "I thought my brother and I were well prepared. Fortunately, Lao Tang was not a bad guy, otherwise we would have been killed no matter how well prepared we were."

"What do you think? Who do you think the Dragon King is? Moreover, the Dragon King is in his own territory. In your words, the buff is completely full." Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei, "So you know how crazy it is for Lao Tang and I to trespass into Nibelungen, the king of sky and wind, right?"

“So you, junior sisters, care so much about us that you’re willing to risk your lives. I’m really touched.” Lu Mingfei said with sincerity in his sarcasm and pretended to wipe away his tears.

Facing Lu Mingfei's frivolous thanks, Xia Mi responded with a roll of her eyes.

"Can you describe the scene in the Nibelungen to us?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi.

Chu Tianjiao had already told them about the appearance of the Nibelungen before, but Chu Tianjiao was fundamentally different from Xia Mi and the others. Xia Mi and the others should also see many different things on the "Island of Death" from their perspective.

"Dead water, dead animals, dead air and stones, everything is dead..." Xia Mi paused, his expression became serious, "The only living thing is a huge tree."

"That tree was quite large, so large that it almost occupied the entire island. It was several hundred meters high, no, perhaps thousands of meters high." Xia Mi described the scene she saw in Nibelungen at that time, "lush leaves, towering treetops, thick branches... Thousands of leaves moved without wind, like a thinking animal. Words like magnificent and huge are no longer enough to describe that tree. That tree is simply weird, there is no tree like it in the world."

“No, there is.” Old Tang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, then at Xia Mi, changing his usual playful expression. “Have you forgotten? An existence that is on par with that ancient emperor, a tree that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth, and in the end was torn apart by the Black King but still stood firm.”

"World Tree." Chu Zihang slowly uttered the name of this forbidden existence. Even the school emblem of their Kassel Academy is based on a half-decayed world tree, to show their stance that they and dragons will never coexist.

"Come to think of it, I actually have a question about the World Tree..." Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Xia Mi.

"Senior Brother." Xia Mi interrupted Lu Mingfei and said to him seriously, "This matter is taboo even among us."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lao Tang, and Lao Tang also shook his head at Lu Mingfei.

"I'm sorry, Mingming, this is the only time she's right." Old Tang also said to Lu Mingfei in a serious tone, "I know what you want to ask, but this matter is indeed forbidden to be mentioned."

Lu Mingfei fell silent. His doubts were not difficult to guess. To be precise, these were the doubts shared by all the hybrids who knew the history of the dragon race... Where had the World Tree gone?

The gigantic tree that had existed in the history of all dragons and hybrids, often appeared in various myths and texts, and had been confirmed to exist by scholars, actually disappeared in the end, without even a trace of its existence left. In history, the secret party once set up an organization called "World Tree Guardians" to search the world for possible remains of the World Tree... Even if that gigantic, towering tree died in the end, it is impossible that it would not leave behind any traces, right?

But the strange thing is that there really isn't any tree there. After so many years have passed from ancient times to the present, the tree in history has mysteriously disappeared on a certain page of history. People can't find any trace of it. Such a huge thing seems to have evaporated out of thin air.

Since Xia Mi and Old Tang both said that this matter is a taboo, then the World Tree should not be as simple as being destroyed. They both said that this matter cannot be asked anymore. Lu Mingfei cannot guess it himself, so there is no need to keep worrying about this issue.

"When we first saw the tree, Old Tang and I couldn't help but look at each other. We both saw shock in each other's eyes." Xia Mi said in a deep voice, "If it was just a huge tree, it wouldn't be enough to surprise Old Tang and me so much. At that time, we even felt a little scared because the aura emanating from the tree was familiar and strange. I noticed it at first glance. It was a human imitation, a fake, but it has entered its mature stage. Once it truly grows fully, the situation will be beyond our control."

"That's a replica of the World Tree." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice. This was the third time he used a declarative sentence instead of a question. This guess was raised when Chu Tianjiao was narrating just now.

"That's right. It was cultivated completely in the image of the World Tree. It was deliberately created by someone and is definitely not a naturally grown species." Xia Mi's voice was very heavy. "At that moment, I finally understood that this Nibelungen in the polar region actually hides a huge secret. Someone has hidden it from everyone and violated an unforgivable taboo."

“Is it illegal to create a fake world tree?” Lu Mingfei joked, “I mean the laws of the dragon world.”

"Nonsense, why do you think the Black King would bite the World Tree?" Xia Mi squinted at Lu Mingfei, "Even mentioning the existence of the World Tree is a taboo. Trying to artificially create a World Tree, don't you think how heinous it is?"

“I understand, I understand. This is simply too evil.” Lu Mingfei nodded seriously, not knowing whether he really understood or not. “This kind of guy must be severely punished. Everyone must kill him!”

"But there is a point that is hard to explain logically." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "Since the King of Sky and Wind did something taboo in Nibelungen, shouldn't this be top secret? Why did they let you and Old Tang into Nibelungen so easily?"

"Xia Mi keeps saying you're smart. Why don't you use your brain and think about it? Even if they violated the taboo, who can restrain or punish them now?" Old Tang finally found an opportunity and glanced at Chu Zihang. "The two ancient emperors are long gone. The remaining dragon kings are all in their own camps. Even the twins may not get along with each other. Who can control them?"

"Let me give you an analogy." Old Tang explained in a popular and easy-to-understand way, "The law stipulates that sex-for-money transactions are illegal, but those who are truly powerful keep women at home. What can you do to them? Do you sue them? If you can't win the lawsuit, do you report them? That's meaningless, because they are one of the regulators. When a being is powerful enough, all the rules in the world lose their meaning to him."

"I understand." Chu Zihang nodded.

"And have you heard of the saying 'catch the dog behind closed doors, catch the turtle in the jar'? It's easy for them to let us in, but it's not so easy for us to leave." Old Tang sighed, "Again, what sin have I committed to be trapped in the human-smuggling ship for so long, and I haven't had a few full meals since I landed, and now I have to rush into the tiger's den again."

"No risk, no gain." Xia Mi retorted, "If we had never been to the Nibelungen, we would never know what those guys did there, right? When the time is right, they will start with you and me. No matter if it's Fenrir or Constantine, anyone who can't tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes will suffer."

"Is that tree so scary?" Lu Mingfei asked in confusion.

He had heard Chu Tianjiao talk about the horror of the tree. To ordinary hybrids, it was of course a monster-level thing, but to beings of the level of Xia Mi and Lao Tang, Lu Mingfei didn't think they had no way to deal with the tree.

"It's far more terrifying than what we saw. It's just that it hasn't evolved into its full form yet, so it's not that scary at the moment." Xia Mi said seriously, "But that thing is too troublesome. No one can ignore its potential danger. Once it is given enough time and nutrients, it will become a threat to the Dragon King."

"Threatening the Dragon King..." Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched. Xia Mi's last description was already very straightforward.

What's more, Xia Mi is the Dragon King herself, so what she said is very important. There are very few things in this world that can truly threaten the Dragon King, otherwise the secret party would not have been so troubled by trying to destroy the dragon clan until now.

"You only saw one tree at that time, right?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi again, "Just now you said that the height of the tree might be more than a thousand meters."

"Yes, I'm not exaggerating." Xia Mi nodded and said solemnly, "And that's not even its final form. Although it can't compare to the real World Tree, as a man-made product, its intimidation is self-evident, just like the nuclear threat of you humans."

Chu Zihang nodded, and he exchanged glances with Lu Mingfei again.

At this point, Xia Mi's statement finally contradicted Chu Tianjiao's previous account.

In Chu Tianjiao's narration, there were four similar islands in Nibelungen, each with lush vegetation, strange creatures and a towering tree. But in Xia Mi's description, there was only one island with a huge tree.

None of them lied, which once again proved that everyone's previous speculation was correct. The King of Sky and Wind cultivated a replica of the World Tree just like raising a Gu. The one who survived in the end was the Gu King, who would devour the nutrients of other creatures in the Gu and become an unprecedentedly powerful existence.

"Just as Old Tang and I were approaching the tree, the master of Nibelungen finally appeared." Xia Mi described, "He was different from the guy I remembered. He appeared with flames, and the sky was illuminated by the flames. The storm raised huge waves on the dead water. The figure was wrapped in a shroud, as if he didn't want people to see his true face. He floated in front of Old Tang and me, and the whole Nibelungen was shrouded in his pressure."

Chapter 1128 The Dragon King's Struggle

Lu Mingfei was deeply impressed by what this guy said about the "God" in the "Island of Death".

In Chu Tianjiao's description, the white figure wrapped in a shroud also appeared like this, with flames burning all over his body and carrying endless majesty. When he appeared, he killed almost all the crew members of the 'Yamal' who entered the "Island of Death".

"Is this guy very strong?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi for confirmation.

"Very strong." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Better than me anyway."

There aren’t many Dragon Kings weaker than you… Lu Mingfei complained silently in his heart.

"In terms of hard power, he may be comparable to Norton in his prime." Xia Mi added, "But not as good as Constantine, and not as strong as Fenrir. But from my memory, he has a good brain. He can beat Constantine and Fenrir with just his brain."

It was mentioned in a class at Kassel Academy that among the twins of the Dragon Throne, those with great power often have defects. For example, among the twins of the Bronze and Fire Kings, Constantine's power is greater than Norton's, so he is disabled and a little cowardly inside, unable to transform into a dragon form. Another example is among the twins of the Earth and Mountain Kings, Fenrir possesses unparalleled power, but his mind is only equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old human child, and his brain development is very imperfect.

"So among the twins of the King of Sky and King of Wind, is the one who has been staying on the 'Isle of Death' stronger, or is Odin stronger?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"Odin." Xia Mi answered without hesitation, "If it is pure power, Odin's power is stronger than the other one."

Lu Mingfei was stunned, because in Chu Tianjiao's description, the white humanoid was already powerful enough to be invincible. He cultivated a replica of the World Tree in his own territory, and as soon as he appeared, he killed all the crew members of the 'Yamal' and Chu Tianjiao without leaving a single piece of armor... Such a powerful existence is actually the weaker one among the twins?

"Then what is Odin's flaw?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"Defect?" Xia Mi frowned slightly when she heard the word.

"Among the twins of the Dragon Throne, isn't it usually the case that one holds wisdom and the other holds power? To avoid excessive concentration of power." Lu Mingfei said, "Even the Dragon King will have some flaws, right? There will always be one who is weak in terms of strength or wisdom.

Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Xia Mi's expression gradually turned into contempt.

"Is this what you humans assume about dragons?" Xia Mi laughed contemptuously. "Too naive, just like animals guessing what humans think. Do you think lower creatures can really analyze the species characteristics of higher creatures correctly?"

"But you and Fenrir, Old Tang and Constantine..." Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi in surprise. He was surprised because Xia Mi's words completely overturned the experience accumulated by the secret party over the years and their understanding of dragons.

"Fenrir and Constantine, it's not wrong to say that they have flaws." Xia Mi paused, "Old Tang and I are indeed not as strong as them. In fact, there is one thing you said that is correct. The birth of dragon twins is indeed accompanied by the division of power, but not every pair's division is as huge as ours."

"So what you mean is that the power of the twin kings of sky and wind is very little divided, and their wisdom and strength are close to being balanced?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "Whether it's the white figure in the 'Isle of Death' or Odin, they don't have any flaws and are almost perfect?"

"Perfect... I can't say that." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "Their differentiation is relatively small, so this also determines that their lower limit is not low, but their upper limit is not high either. That is to say, the white humanoid is stronger than me, but Odin is not as good as Fenrir and Constantine in some aspects, if you must talk about flaws."

Xia Mi thought about it.

"They both do have, I don't know if they can be called flaws or weaknesses." Xia Mi said slowly, "The white humanoid you mentioned has extremely strong theoretical knowledge, whether it's physics, biology or history, his brain is like an encyclopedia covering almost all aspects, and he has strong practical ability, he can easily turn the theories in his mind into reality, but his communication skills are very weak... well, it can't be said to be very weak, it should be said that he has almost no communication skills."

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. "Isn't that a high IQ but low EQ, a high-scoring but low-ability nerd with an IQ of 0 and an EQ of ?"

"It's okay if you understand it that way." Xia Mi nodded and said, "As for Odin... that guy is not stupid, or rather, he is quite smart. He has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but his practical ability is close to zero."

"You can imagine him as a smooth talker, but when he gets down to business, he pales in comparison. You can see it from the Nibelungen he built in this city." Xia Mi said, "I told you before that this Nibelungen is actually a defective product. Even some second-generation species can create a small Nibelungen. Can you imagine that a king on the throne can create a Nibelungen that is so unstable and has no technical content?"

"I see." Lu Mingfei nodded. Before this, he didn't know that there were so many tricks to the Nibelungen. He also didn't expect that Odin's Nibelungen would only deserve such a low evaluation from Xia Mi.

But thinking back, what Xia Mi said seemed to be correct. He recalled his previous experience in the Nibelungen in this city. Apart from the endless storms and the endless elevated roads, there seemed to be nothing much to say about that Nibelungen. Deadpool was not something that relied on the Nibelungen, and those masks also came from Odin's own abilities... So most of the difficulties they encountered in the Nibelungen were basically not caused by the Nibelungen itself.

But in contrast, Old Tang's Nibelungen, the bronze city itself caused them considerable trouble. The mechanisms and structures there were rarely seen in the world in terms of complexity. According to Xia Mi, this was when Old Tang himself was not present. If Old Tang himself was there, the trouble that Nibelungen could cause would be more than ten times more difficult than what Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang encountered at the beginning!

"But..." Chu Zihang suddenly spoke, but immediately fell silent.

Also because of Xia Mi's description, he said that Odin was actually the type who was talkative, but based on the brief contact that Chu Zihang had with Odin seven years ago, he only felt that the so-called "God" was indeed tall and majestic, and such an existence was standing in front of you like a huge mountain... Such an existence actually had a talkative and unreliable character at its core.

"Many times, what you see may not be true." Xia Mi looked at Chu Zihang. She seemed to have guessed what Chu Zihang was asking. "But what I know may not be true. From what I know, Odin likes to pretend. It's probably some kind of bad taste. He likes to play different roles and he gets into the role very much. If he thinks he is really the God King in Norse mythology, he will really put himself into a supreme image, and he will try his best to act like Odin when facing you and your father."

"I see." Chu Zihang nodded, but it was still a little hard to accept.

The "God" he once thought was aloof, majestic and insurmountable was actually just a performer... No, according to Xia Mi's description, that guy was more like a funny guy with a theatrical personality.

"What happened after that?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "The white figure with flames all over his body came up to you and Lao Tang. What did he do to you afterwards?"

At this point, Lu Mingfei glanced at Old Tang's bruised face.

"Well, that guy was quite aggressive and looked angry." Xia Mi said, "But there's nothing strange about it. If two guys suddenly broke into my house like this, I would be angry too. Just like what Old Tang said, I would want to chase them out with a broom. The flames on that guy's body were probably a kind of protest, but he was obviously showing it to the wrong person."

"Why do you say that?" Lu Mingfei asked in confusion.

"Hmm? Which one are you asking? Is the flames on his body a demonstration? Or is he demonstrating to the wrong person?" Xia Mi said, "That guy is not a fire rat. He has flames on his body all day long like a steam locomotive. I said he demonstrated to the wrong person because using something like fire is like showing off in front of Guan Gong, isn't it?"

"What does this mean?" Lu Mingfei was stunned again.

"Because this guy is here." Xia Mi snorted at Old Tang. "Flames are this guy's strong point. He is a wind man, but he is playing with fire in front of the ancestor who plays with fire. Isn't he just waiting to be slapped in the face?"

Old Tang looked at Xia Mi with an expression that seemed like he was about to cry, because in his memory, Xia Mi had almost never praised him... Not almost, really never. Let alone praising him, he would feel so grateful if someone even said a good word to him.

"So what did Old Tang do at that time?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"He opened his mouth and swallowed all the fire from the guy's body in one gulp." Xia Mi gave Lao Tang a praiseful look. "After swallowing the fire, Lao Tang said to the guy, 'No matter how full you are, you can't do this'... This is probably the most manly I've ever seen this guy do."

“Wow, Old Tang, you can even swallow fire!” Lu Mingfei also praised Old Tang very enthusiastically, “With this ability, you can go to the streets to perform, and you won’t have to worry about food and drink in your next life!”

"Humph, I even burped at that guy at that time!" Old Tang also looked proud.

It's not surprising that Xia Mi gave Lao Tang praise for the first time this time, because this time when they broke into Nibelungen, Xia Mi was unsure, otherwise he wouldn't have specially called Lao Tang. Sure enough, as soon as they entered Nibelungen, the other party rushed to them and gave them a warning... and at this time Lao Tang took the initiative to stand up and give the other party a powerful counterattack. This was indeed quite manly. At least as a companion, this move made Xia Mi feel more secure at the time.

"And then?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Then, the guy was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he really got more angry." Xia Mi recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help laughing, "Then Old Tang swallowed and mocked again, and the guy got angry again, and was swallowed by Old Tang again. This happened several times, and Old Tang burped at the guy several times."

"That guy really has negative EQ." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.

There was no such feeling in Chu Tianjiao's description, because Chu Tianjiao and the others had no chance to communicate with the white figure at all. But Xia Mi and Lao Tang were different. They were equal to each other. Although they were wary of each other, they were not afraid of each other. What's more, they had known each other for so many years and probably had an understanding of each other's personalities.

“What happens next?” Lu Mingfei sounded like a listener who couldn’t wait to give a tip to the storyteller.
