Chapter 1696

Zang Yongsi had followed him all the way, so he must have something to discuss with him. There were only three people in the private room, so Zi Chen went straight to the point.

Lei Long was still coiled around Zi Chen's waist. It stared curiously at the brightly lit room.

Zang Yongsi kept looking at the Thunder Dragon, watching its curious expression change. After a while, he asked, "This old man wants to know if the little dragon around your waist is a real dragon."

Zi Chen said, "Of course it's a real dragon, a pure Thunder Dragon."

Zang Yongsi's eyes were unexpectedly filled with unconcealable excitement. "It really is a real dragon. That's great, that's really great."

Zi Chen looked at Zang Yongsi in confusion.

Outside the city, after Xu Hou appeared, he had been staring at the Thunder Dragon, with surprise and greed in his eyes.

Xu Hou was killed, and then Hu Fo appeared with murderous intent. At that time, Zi Chen was completely sure that Hu Fo came for the Thunder Dragon, not for the so-called justice.

After plundering the five major families, more than a dozen representatives of the powerhouses on the list appeared, saying that they wanted to see Zi Chen.

Of course, Zi Chen did not think that these people wanted to make friends with him. It was more likely that they were luring him to the Thunder Dragon.

Zi Chen did not know what was so magical about the Thunder Dragon in this world, but Zang Yongsi's first question was about the Thunder Dragon, so everything must be related to the Thunder Dragon.

And the Thunder Dragon must have some secrets.

Schenker was not surprised by the change in Zang Yongsi's expression, as if he had already expected it.

After gradually calming down, Zang Yongsi said, "It's related to a legend. It's an ancient dragon boat. You may not have heard of it..."

A picture suddenly appeared in Zi Chen's mind. It was another space where a dragon boat made of skeletons was moving. An ancient, bleak, and tragic war song came from the dragon boat, and at the same time, there was a heart-palpitating aura. He interrupted Zang Yongsi and asked, "Is it a black boat made of skeletons with a dragon head in front of the bow?"

Zang Yongsi said in surprise, "You've heard of this legend."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, but I've seen it."

Zang Yongsi's expression changed. "What? You've seen it?"

Old Schenker, on the other hand, suddenly recalled the scene when the dragon boat appeared a few years ago.

Zi Chen didn't hide anything and directly said, "A few years ago, the human city was occupied by the Dax race. I was only at the seventh tier back then. At that time, I led a few dozen people into the empty alien city. As soon as I came out of a shop, I felt a terrifying aura. I looked up and saw a skeletal dragon boat. The dragon boat was above me, but it seemed to be traveling through another space. I could even hear a desolate war song coming from the dragon boat, as if it was summoning something. At that time, I felt very uncomfortable. The aura was suffocating, but the others didn't feel anything strange."

Hearing Zi Chen's words, Zang Yongsi's face was full of shock. "Seventh Layer, you can actually feel the call of the dragon boat at only the seventh layer. I am completely sure that you have the potential not inferior to Lord Long Fei."

Zi Chen did not care about potential. What he cared about was the dragon boat. He asked, "What exactly is the Skeletal Dragon Boat?"

"An ancient warship, a desolate war song, summoning experts to explore the depths of the world," Schenker's voice suddenly sounded.

"You know about it too." Zi Chen turned around and looked at Schenker.

"Anyone who stays here long enough will know about it," Schenker said.

"You said that the dragon boat summoned experts to explore the depths of the world. What is there in the depths of the world?" Zi Chen asked.

Schenker shook his head and said, "No one knows, but everyone wants to go."

"What do you mean? If you don't know what is there, you still want to go."

"It is because you don't know that it is mysterious."

"What do you mean?"

Zi Chen couldn't help but laugh. "So, the dragon boat has appeared many times. Those people have found something in the depths of the world."

Schenker shook his head and said, "No one knows, because no one has returned."

Zi Chen was shocked. "No one has returned? Are they all dead?"

Schenker said, "One theory is that they are all dead, but another theory is that they went to the depths of the world through the dragon boat and then entered another world."

"Another world."

"It is just a theory. No one can prove it. After all, no one has returned alive."

Zi Chen turned to look at Zang Yongsi again. "You asked Lei Long. Is Lei Long related to the dragon boat?"

Zang Yongsi said, "To drive the dragon boat into the depths of the world, the prerequisite is that there is a dragon soul controlling it."

Zi Chen said coldly, "You want Lei Long to die."

No one could return, but the dragon boat turned back. Obviously, the dragon soul was dead.

Zi Chen was not an explorer, so he was not interested in exploring an unknown place.

As if guessing Zi Chen's inner thoughts, Zang Yongsi said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. That place was unknown before, but we got information about the dragon boat from the Soul Devourer Race. It is said that there is a secret in the depths of the world that can allow one to break into the realm of Realm Master."

"Break into the realm of Realm Master." Zi Chen was startled. In this way, the exploration was worth it.

It was much more difficult to break into the realm of Realm Master than to break into the realm of Corporeal Realm.

It represented the growth of the world, and the transformation of the realm in one's body.

For example, this city was full of Realm Masters, but no one could break into the realm of Realm Master.

In the Zhanwu Continent, only the truly shocking existences could enter the realm of Realm Master.

Those pure higher life forms could also easily enter the realm of Realm Master, but before that, they needed to sleep for a long time.

And during the sleep, if there were not enough protective measures, it was easy to die.

"Soul Devourer Race, can their words be trusted?" Zi Chen asked. Even Schenker did not understand.

"I saw that tortoise shell with my own eyes. The ancient words of this world are recorded on it, and there is a description of the end of the world. There is a place in it that contains the secret to breaking into the realm of Realm Master."

Zang Yongsi said, "And you know that breaking into the realm of Realm Master in this world will be much stronger than breaking through in the outside world. This is an opportunity for you, for me, and even for them."

Zi Chen fell into deep thought.

All the experts on the list were looking for Zi Chen for the lightning dragon. From their attitude, it could be seen that they were not robbing, but cooperating.

According to what Zang Yongsi said, there was an ancient dragon ship. It constantly traveled through this world and called out.

Some beings with extremely high potential would be able to hear the summons, but in this world, there were simply too many outstanding individuals. Just the Imperial Sky Region alone had a hundred elites on the Roll, and there were also the Dax Race, the Soul-Devouring Race, and other races.

But there was only one dragon ship, so its capacity was naturally limited.

When the time came, who should go and who should not?

So everyone could only form an alliance, gather all the experts, and board the ship with great power.

As for Zang Yongsi and the other experts from 65,555 years ago, the reason why they were unwilling to leave this world was because they were waiting for the dragon ship to appear.

"No one came back. There are so many shocking existences. Is the end of the world so terrifying?"

Zi Chen muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "What about Longfei? As the number one person, is he not qualified to board the ship?"

Shink said, "Of course Longfei is qualified. But when the dragon ship appeared, he suddenly hesitated before boarding and then voluntarily withdrew."

"Voluntarily withdrew? Why? Doesn't he want to break through to the Realm Lord level?" Zi Chen was confused.

"At that time, this news had not appeared. Some people said that Lord Longfei withdrew because of fear, but others said that Lord Longfei might have sensed something and thus chose to withdraw." Zang Yongsi smiled bitterly.

Zi Chen's expression changed. He had seen Longfei once. Although it was just a glance, he could tell that Longfei was not a coward.

Then the only possibility for Longfei to withdraw was that he had discovered something.

But what did he discover that made him not board the ship?

Zi Chen could not understand.

"Not only Longfei, there was also Tang Nuo. He also chose to withdraw the moment he boarded the ship."

"Tang Nuo."

Seeing the confusion on Zi Chen's face, Shink explained, "Tang Nuo also came from Shuntian Prefecture. He was the number one person before Longfei. If I'm not wrong, he should be the Prefecture Lord of Shuntian Prefecture now."

"Lord Prefecture Lord." Zi Chen was very surprised.

In Shuntian Prefecture, he had only seen the Prefecture Lord once.

He was a dignified and domineering middle-aged man. He looked like a general and not a city lord.

Speaking of which, he was somewhat similar to Longfei. Such an expert would not back down when faced with a matter.

Moreover, so many people did not withdraw. Only these two experts withdrew. Zi Chen would not believe that they were afraid.

Then the only possibility was that they had discovered something before boarding the ship.

But what did they discover?

Zi Chen did not know. Of course, Zang Yongsi did not know.

"We also thought about Lord Longfei's matter. Lord Longfei must have discovered something. After that, I went to find Lord Longfei once and specifically asked, but I did not get any useful clues."

Zang Yongsi said, "After that, Lord Long Fei stayed in the Battlefield of Despair. We guessed that Lord Long Fei was waiting for the next appearance of the dragon boat, but we guessed wrong. Lord Long Fei actually left the Battlefield of Despair.

Old Man Shink had been silent. He could not give any advice on this matter.

"My intention this time is to form an alliance. The experts of the Imperial Sky Region will form an alliance. When the time comes, you will take the dragon soul and we will be the first to board the dragon ship."

"Let me think about this matter." Zi Chen said.

"We have not received news of the dragon ship docking. You may have many years to think about it. This matter is not urgent." Zang Yongsi said, "As for the matter of entering the Imperial Sky Alliance last time …"

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "I will not agree to this matter."

After the conversation, Zang Yongsi left. Zi Chen and Shink stayed to eat.

During the meal, Old Man Shink seemed absent-minded. Zi Chen asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"
