"The Dragon Pearl is a divine object that the ancestors of my Guardian Dragon Clan have protected for thousands of years. It can also be said that the Dragon Pearl is the reason why my Guardian Dragon Clan exists.
"Therefore, my Guardian Dragon Clan naturally wouldn't hand the Dragon Pearl to that man. However, no one expected that the man would actually dare to attack my Guardian Dragon Clan because of it.
"Furthermore, his strength was so great that even the combined strength of my clan's patriarch and several elders were no match for him. In the end, all the peak experts of my clan were defeated one by one. Furthermore, for the sake of obtaining the Dragon Pearl, he even began to wantonly slaughter the clansmen of my clan."
"That time, it could be said that blood flowed like a river. I watched as countless clansmen fell in front of me, but they were powerless to do anything. That feeling was truly unforgettable. It was simply a feeling that made me wish that I was dead. It was that kind of pain and despair."
When he spoke until here, the village chief's face, which was covered in hair, also had a sorrowful expression. Although it had been many years, it could be seen that he still remembered the tragedy that happened back then.
But at this moment, neither Xing Jue nor Little Cong went up to comfort him. Instead, they quietly looked at the village chief, waiting for him to continue.
"But just when my clansmen were in complete despair and were determined to protect the Dragon Pearl with their lives, a young man suddenly appeared in my clan's territory. He was your father, Dugu Changyi."
"Because my Guardian Dragon Clan was isolated from the rest of the world, we set up a powerful barrier outside our clan. That barrier was similar to the Black Flame Barrier Formation in the Dark Ridge. Anyone who trespassed would die within it. Therefore, my clan's territory was known as the Forbidden Land by the people of the Towering Sky Region."
"It was precisely because your father wanted to see what the Forbidden Land that was feared by the people of the continent looked like that he rushed over to my clan. Coincidentally, my clan was massacred by someone. When he saw the situation, your father did not hesitate to attack that mysterious man in an attempt to stop his evil deeds."
"Although your father was very young back then, he was extremely powerful. He was so powerful that even that mysterious man was no match for him. In the end, it was your father who forced him to reveal his true form."
"So it wasn't a human, but a huge magical beast. Its body was like a huge mountain, and just a slight tremble would release a power that we couldn't resist. But even so, it was still no match for your father."
"But just when we thought that we were really saved, that Magical Beast actually used a curse on us in order to survive."
"Since then, tens of thousands of us villagers have been turned into this inhuman, inhuman form. He even threatened that unless he personally removed the curse, we would continue to reproduce in this form for generations to come."
"However, the thing that terrified everyone the most was that as long as we were a certain distance away from it, we would self-destruct and die." The village chief slowly said. Moreover, when he mentioned the Curse Technique, his emotions became somewhat agitated.
"Could it be that even my father is unable to break that curse?" Hearing that, Xing Jue also felt disgusted by the evil nature of the mysterious man. Moreover, he expressed sympathy for the Dragon Guardian Clan and the villagers of the Half-Beast Village.
"That Curse Technique was extremely strange. It was strange to the point that even with your father's power, he could not break it. Moreover, it was as that mysterious man had said. As long as we were a certain distance away from it, our bodies would explode and we would die."
"Furthermore, as long as it dies, all of us will die as well. Later on, in order to preserve our lives, your father brought that mysterious man to this Darkness Mountain Range and sealed him in the depths of this Darkness Mountain Range. After which, he set up the Black Flame Boundary Formation in this Darkness Mountain Range, allowing us monsters that are neither human nor beast to live in peace here."
"As for us who had been reduced to such a state, we did not have the face to continue using the name left behind by our ancestors. Thus, we could only give up the name of the Dragon Guardian Clan and call ourselves Half-Beastmen, and this place was called the Half-Beast Village."
"Actually, for people like us who are about to die, it is nothing much. However, for a young child like Little Cong to spend the rest of his life in such a state, it is truly pitiful." As he spoke, the village chief could not help but glance at Little Cong, who was by the side. An expression of guilt appeared on his face.
Not to mention the village chief, even Xing Jue's heart could not help but tremble when he found out that the neither human nor beast Little Cong was actually a young girl. At the same time, he felt extreme hatred towards the evil nature of the mysterious man.
"Village chief, just what is the use of that Dragon Bead? Why does that man want to snatch that Dragon Bead?" However, after a moment of silence, Xing Jue asked as if he was deep in thought.
"The Dragon Pearl is a divine object that my Dragon Guardian Clan protects. The reason why my Dragon Guardian Clan exists is because of the existence of the Dragon Pearl."
"As for the Dragon Pearl, there is a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation in my clan. It is that in a few thousand years, a divine beast will appear on this continent, and that divine beast will be a divine dragon that possesses the bloodline of royalty."
"The God Pearl that my clan protects can completely activate the divine dragon's bloodline, causing it to transform into a true divine dragon, leaving the boundaries of the continent and ascending to the Sanctuary-realm. At that time, my Dragon Guardian Clan will also obtain a special bloodline." The village chief slowly explained.
"There's actually such a thing? Then why does that mysterious man want to take the Dragon Pearl? Could he be that divine dragon? "Xing Jue asked in confusion.
"Haha, of course not. If he was that divine dragon, why would we fight against him? You must know that my Dragon Guardian Clan has protected the Dragon Pearl for thousands of years, all for the sake of waiting for that divine dragon to arrive. "
"Although that mysterious man's original body was indeed an unusual magical beast, it was a huge tortoise shaped magical beast."
"However, he knew about the divine dragon and even said that he wanted to take the Dragon Pearl to find the divine dragon. However, he could not tell us the location of the divine dragon. Naturally, my Dragon Guardian Clan will not believe such a lie." The village chief continued.
At this moment, Xing Jue fell into deep thought. Many chaotic things continuously interweaved in Xing Jue's mind, as if he was trying to piece together a complete story.
"Village chief, can I see that mysterious magical beast?" After thinking for a moment, Xing Jue slowly raised his head and asked with a serious look in his eyes.
"What? You want to see it? "After hearing Xing Jue's words, the village chief revealed an even more shocked expression.
"Yes, I want to understand more about what happened back then." Xing Jue said with certainty.
"Haha, forget it. It's useless. Back then, your father also wanted to have a good chat with it to resolve this grudge. However, it was unwilling to say anything."
"It even said that either we hand over the Dragon Pearl, or let our clansmen continue to live in this state. It was even willing to be sealed for life." The village chief shook his head and revealed a helpless expression.
"But, I want to give it a try." Even so, Xing Jue still said with a smile, a determined expression on his face.
"Sigh, since that's the case, follow me." After hearing Xing Jue's words, the village chief was stunned. However, when his gaze once again focused on Xing Jue's slightly narrowed eyes and confident smile, he compromised.
After that, Xing Jue followed the village chief into the depths of the Dark Mountain Range. After a period of rest, Xing Jue's strength had recovered quite a bit. Therefore, this time, the two of them did not walk on foot, but flew through the layers of mountains.
At this moment, Xing Jue's Soul Strength had also recovered quite a bit. When Xing Jue sensed the strength of the village chief in front of him, his expression changed greatly. Beads of cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
This was because Xing Jue was shocked to find that he could not see through the village chief's strength. Furthermore, when the village chief was flying, the surrounding space did not put up any resistance at all. It was as if the village chief had completely fused with the space. This meant that the village chief's strength was likely to be that of a Combat Emperor.
Previously, the village chief had also said that the strongest experts in his clan had all been defeated by the mysterious magical beast. In other words, the mysterious magical beast's strength was far above the village chief's.
Thinking about this, even Xing Jue could not help but panic. After all, the strength of a Combat Emperor was something that Xing Jue had experienced before. It was an existence that he could not fight against.
At this moment, Xing Jue once again realized how weak he was. He knew that there were so many people on this continent that could kill him.
However, at this moment, the village chief did not know what Xing Jue was thinking. Instead, he brought Xing Jue and flew towards the depths of the Dark Mountain Range at an extremely fast speed. With their speed, they arrived at the place where the mysterious magical beast was imprisoned in a short while.
This was an extremely huge and bottomless ravine. Within this ravine, there were layers of strange gas. Looking down from the top, it looked like a huge lake. However, the water that flowed within was not clear lake water. Instead, it was a strange gas that was filled with a terrifying aura.
"The mysterious man is imprisoned below. If you want to chat with him, you can go down alone because he does not like to see me."
"However, you must remember, you must not get too close to him when you chat with him. Otherwise, he will eat you." When they arrived at the top of the ravine, the village chief first looked at the swirling ravine below and said to Xing Jue with a cautious expression.
"Yes." Seeing this, Xing Jue also smiled and nodded his head. His figure leaped forward, turning into a ray of light as he rapidly flew towards the terrifying deep valley below.
Because of the strange gas in the ravine, Xing Jue was unable to see his surroundings clearly. Therefore, at this moment, Xing Jue simply closed his eyes and expanded his Soul Strength. He relied on the Soul Strength to investigate the situation in the ravine.
However, the deeper he went, the more uneasy Xing Jue became. This was because Xing Jue realized that this ravine could be said to be bottomless. Even with his extreme speed, he still could not reach the bottom after flying for so long. Moreover, as he went deeper, the strange gas became denser.
