It had a pair of antlers on its head, a body covered in scales and a spine, a large and long head, a sharp mouth, small nose, eyes, and ears, large eye sockets, high eyebrows, sharp teeth, a protruding forehead, a thin neck and a large abdomen, a long tail, and strong limbs. It was like a winged alligator, and it even had a pair of toy-like wings …
What the hell was this thing? Why did it look neither fish nor fowl? Looking at the strange monster in front of him, Ding Ning's feelings were somewhat complicated. He felt that he still had not completely understood the trick of genetic modification. He had clearly modified the data according to the Dark Demon Dragon's gene map. How did he create such a monster?
The Dark Demon Dragon was a dragon that could fly without wings. But although this Earth Dragon King's dragon bloodline had been activated by his genetic modification and had begun to evolve, it only had a thin dragon bloodline after all. This caused its genes to undergo some kind of irreversible change. The data of the gene map could not be completely consistent with the Dark Demon Dragon's, and it had actually grown a pair of small wings that should not have been there.
It was very difficult to call the current Earth Dragon King a dragon, and it was not suitable to call it a serpent. Moreover, its appearance was absolutely worlds apart from the Dark Demon Dragon in his memory.
The black scales on its body did have some resemblance to a dragon. Its huge body was densely covered with black dragon scales the size of cattail leaf fans. It looked majestic, but it only had two dragon claws, a long and pointed tail, and a row of long thorns on its back. It also had a pair of small wings like a bat. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like an underdeveloped aberration.
The Earth Dragon King did not dislike its appearance at all. It rubbed its large head against Ding Ning's leg excitedly like a child. It even transmitted a strong sense of childlike admiration through their spiritual connection, which made Ding Ning feel slightly comforted.
No matter what, it was his child. It was ugly, sigh … he did not know if this fellow had evolved any special abilities.
To be honest, looking at the Earth Dragon King's pair of small wings that looked like a toy, Ding Ning did not expect that the pair of wings could really take this fellow to the sky.
As it turned out …
He really couldn't. Not to mention flying into the sky, he couldn't even stay three feet above the ground with that pair of small fleshy wings. He was just a fucking decoration. His only function was probably that he could use it as a fan to please Ding Ning.
But the problem was, did Ding Ning need a fan? Our Brother Little Ning has long been immune to heat and cold.
The more Ding Ning thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He had wasted so much energy to transform this thing, which made him want to cry.
Fortunately, the poor thing named "Ugly Bao" was not useless. When it noticed that Ding Ning was in a bad mood, it even acted cute and coquettishly. It crawled pitifully in front of Ding Ning, blinked its pitiful little eyes and looked at him adorably like a bullied little wife. It looked as if it was sad when its master was in a bad mood, which made Ding Ning unable to vent his anger even if he wanted to.
Well, no matter what, this guy wasn't that bad. At least in terms of intelligence, it was comparable to the Red-haired Donkey that he named Big Red. When he named them, the two pets were obviously very dissatisfied.
"Ugly Bao 'er, bring your subordinates and hide here. Without my orders, no one is allowed to leave this place."
Ding Ning was very depressed. He ordered weakly, turned around, and walked towards the eye of the formation.
Although the formation had been reactivated here, it was buried deep underground. As long as Ugly Bao 'er and its subordinates did not rush out, the formation would not harm them.
Although Ugly Bao 'er was ugly, it was really very obedient. With a soft hiss, it led the Earth Dragons into the ground and even thoughtfully restored the ground to its original state. It was really a good seedling to be an assassin.
The Red-haired Donkey's face was filled with a human-like gloating expression. Although it was only attracted by Ding Ning's blood, it instinctively sensed that Ugly Bao 'er, who knew how to act cute, seemed to be a threat to its position, so it was filled with an inexplicable hostility towards Ugly Bao' er.
At this moment, seeing that Ugly Bao 'er had been sent away, it squatted on Ding Ning's shoulder and made a face at the slightly dejected Ugly Bao' er. Its proud expression made Ding Ning secretly laugh. So pets also had the consciousness to fight for favor. Why didn't he notice it before?
Then he realized that this was the difference in intelligence. The Red-haired Donkey and Ugly Bao 'er would fight for favor, which meant that their intelligence was much higher than old cows like the black panther and the Air Force Wings. Only then would they have the most basic awareness of danger, which was why they would fight for favor.
Pi Mu 'er followed closely behind Ding Ning with a fanatical gaze. At this moment, he admired Ding Ning from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't understand why Ding Ning was so disappointed, this didn't stop him from admiring Ding Ning.
The more disappointed Ding Ning was, the more it meant that the Earth Dragon King's evolution did not meet his expectations. How could Pi Mu 'er not respect him like a god?
Ding Ning had been to the Setting Sun Continent and seen countless powerful true dragons. His standards were already so high that they could break through the sky. Although Ugly Bao 'er's strength had changed drastically compared to before, she naturally could not compare to those true dragons that stood at the top of the food chain. That was why he felt deeply disappointed.
But Pi Mu 'er did not know. He only knew that Ugly Bao' er's current form had already surpassed the Dark Gold Black Dragon. It was many times more powerful than the insect dragons that the predecessors of the Geomaster Faction had cultivated. He even wondered if he should mark the fifth form of the Earth Dragon in the "Insect Scripture".
Actually, Ding Ning was also stuck in a dead end. He thought that Ugly Bao 'er's not evolving into a Dark Demon Dragon was a waste of his energy, which was why he was so disappointed. However, he neglected Ugly Bao' er's pair of wings.
According to the "Records of Strange Things", a dragon would become a Horned Dragon at five hundred years and a Winged Dragon at a thousand years. Winged Dragons could be said to be the essence of dragons, which was why they grew wings.
Although the Earth Dragon only had a thin bloodline of the dragon race, the dragon race did not only consist of Golden Dragons, Dark Demon Dragons, and Frost Dragons. There were hundreds and thousands of species. Just the major species alone could be classified as "those with scales are called Flood Dragons, those with wings are called Winged Dragons, those with horns are called Horned Dragons, and those without horns are called Horned Dragons."
Therefore, Winged Dragons were the only species of dragons that had wings. The trace of dragon bloodline in Ugly Bao 'er's body happened to be the bloodline of Winged Dragons. Ding Ning wanted to forcefully transform her into a Dark Demon Dragon, but how could he possibly succeed? This caused Ugly Bao' er's evolution to be incomplete, turning her into a monster that did not look like anything.
However, our Brother Little Ning still did not realize this. Disinterestedly, he led Pi Mu 'er, who was absent-minded, through the eye of the formation and opened a path into the middle palace.
Pi Mu 'er felt his vision blur. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a short moment had passed. Then, he appeared in the middle of a huge underground palace.
The reason why it was called a huge underground palace was because the space here stretched as far as the eye could see. Hundreds of meters above his head were rough, green-gray rocks. The ground was covered with huge rocks of the same material, but polished to an extremely smooth level.
Pi Mu 'er was slightly panicked because he discovered that after entering this place, there was no trace of Ding Ning beside him. Could it be that after entering this place, they would automatically be separated?
Fortunately, although this place was so quiet that it made one's heart palpitate, there was a hook embedded in the wall every hundred or so meters. The torches hanging from the hooks had already been lit and were burning fiercely, illuminating the path ahead. Pi Mu 'er took a few deep breaths and gathered his courage to walk forward.
Walking in the spacious and quiet underground palace, only his footsteps echoed in the space, causing his mind to be extremely tense. He did not dare to be careless in the slightest. His back was already soaked in cold sweat unknowingly.
Ding Ning followed behind Pi Mu 'er while invisible. He spread out his divine sense and carefully observed everything here. It seemed like this place was really a mausoleum, but the faint uneasiness in his heart constantly reminded him that this was not just a simple mausoleum. There must be a great danger hidden here.
Not only did the suppression of the Immortal Stone still exist here, it was also getting more and more serious. As Pi Mu 'er moved forward, the range that Ding Ning's divine sense could explore became smaller and smaller. It was suppressed to the point that it could only explore around twenty to thirty meters around him. This made him even more vigilant.
There were more than a thousand people who entered before, but why was there no one here? There was not even a trace of a battle left behind. Even the old man, Tian Xuanzi, was nowhere to be found. He was a God Martial Arts Realm expert. Ding Ning did not believe that such an expert would not even have the chance to leave a mark.
Spacious, huge, cold, and quiet. This was the impression that Pi Mu 'er had of the underground palace. There did not seem to be any danger, but he did not dare to relax at all. He tiptoed forward and continued to move forward into the unknown ahead …
The size of the underground palace was beyond imagination. If he had to make an analogy, Ding Ning felt that this place was even bigger than the entire Ninghai City. Pi Mu 'er walked for a full three hours. Although he did not run, he was a martial artist after all. His speed was incomparable to ordinary people. After walking continuously for three hours, he had walked about thirty to forty kilometers. However, the surrounding environment still did not change at all. It was still the same greenish-gray walls, greenish-gray floor, and greenish-gray ceiling. It was as if greenish-gray had become the only theme here.
Ding Ning once suspected that he had fallen into some kind of illusion. However, when he secretly made a mark on every torch he passed by, he realized that there was no mark on the torch in front of him. Only then did he dispel this thought. He patiently followed behind Pi Mu 'er, who seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown at any time.
Finally, after Pi Mu 'er walked for another three hours, he could faintly hear the voices of people in front of him. There seemed to be some subtle changes in the surrounding environment. For example, the surrounding rock walls were no longer the same greenish-gray color. Occasionally, there were some white stones mixed in.
This immediately lifted the spirits of Pi Mu 'er, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He would rather be eaten by some terrifying monster than to experience such a lonely journey where he was constantly tortured. The terrifying silence and the fear of the unknown could really torture a living person into a lunatic.
Ding Ning also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he knew that Pi Mu 'er was his companion, he still could not withstand such a tense and high-intensity deathly silent environment. It made his entire body and mind feel deeply exhausted.
Just as he and Pi Muer relaxed their vigilance, the originally empty environment suddenly moved. The surrounding walls silently cracked open, as if a monster hidden in the darkness had suddenly opened its bloody mouth. A terrifying suction force came, and Pi Muer was unable to resist at all as he screamed and was sucked into the wall.
Ding Ning's expression changed dramatically. With his skills, if he wanted to forcefully resist, he might be able to resist this kind of suction force. However, Pi Muer was now his subordinate, so how could he just watch him be in danger?
Fortunately, he did not sense any dangerous aura from the suction force of the wall. Therefore, he relaxed and remained invisible, allowing the wall to suck him in.
