The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1811 A Little About Dragons

?

Abby could not command Demigods, and her limits would become more and more different from Minos' as time went on. But they could both become stronger. That meant there were only positive prospects for this combination of powers!

When he thought about how much it could help the resistance against Maximillian, Forrest clenched his fists and felt how right his master had been in directing him to the good side of these people.

Minos and the Black Plain were quietly preparing terrible things for this continent!

If Vico and Maximillian knew about this combination of powers, they would probably worry more about the north of the continent.

'Perfect! As long as they gain a few more levels, we can go further in the future.'

But at that moment, when everyone looked at Abby differently, Minos shouted. "Let's move. We have to get out of sight of the wooden dragon. These skeletons will last five minutes at the most. The strongest of them should return to the ground in less than 40 seconds!"

Since Abby was only level 81 and didn't have the benefit of Minos' innate ability, this fusion was too costly for her. She could even bring back the dead Demigods in this area, but the stronger they were, the less time they would stay standing.

"40 seconds?" Forrest muttered, but he didn't find it strange. It made perfect sense. If this fusion didn't have its limits, it would go against every spiritual theory known to this world.

But even though it was only for a short time, it was enough to make a big difference on the battlefield.

As for their problem in entering the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom, it was more than enough for them to escape that wooden dragon and continue their exploration.

...

After a few minutes, the Minos group moved away from the area where they had entered this Spatial Kingdom.

They found an underground building on their way and promptly entered to escape the mighty wooden dragon.

Fighting an immortal creature that was only meant to protect the area would be difficult for their group, which did not have enough to destroy such a thing.

For now, they wanted to explore this area while the creature was distracted and maybe forgot about them.

Inside this underground place, they soon came upon a network of huge tunnels that were part of the underground area of the Spatial Kingdom.

Dragons had some different habits from the other races of this world. They performed a dozen different rituals during their journeys, some marking the beginning of adulthood, others the end of life.

In particular, the first time they mated with their partners was a special moment for the entire tribe, and some were watched by several elders as they mated, producing the future leaders of the tribe.

They didn't do this just anywhere but in underground chambers like the ones in this underground area.

In places like this, the females would lay their dragon eggs after the mating hours and leave them in special chambers where the eggs would hatch. It was said that only after a good "dance" would one have the chance to give birth to a mighty dragon.

The humans in Minos' party knew this story and soon passed through one of the tunnels, scanning the area.

The places where dragons performed their special ceremonies or hatched their eggs were usually places with various valuable items and resources that were important to people like them.

"We were very lucky to come to this place," Gloria commented, considering what she knew about this area. "Only two spatial pockets of the six remaining parts of the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom have underground structures."I think you should take a look at

Forrest agreed and said, "Few people have been lucky enough to enter the underground part of this Spatial Kingdom over time. The entrances to this area usually change places with each event, so we have a chance to find valuable things here."

"Is it possible that there is a dragon egg here?" One of the level 89 Sages asked.

There was no way they could find a dragon egg in the hatching process. But they could find "dead" or "frozen" eggs.

Such an egg could be used for various activities and was extremely valuable to Spiritual Sages and even low-level Demigods.

For a dragon, such a thing was a snack that could help them improve their understanding of the world and increase their strength and vitality.

Dragon bloodlines had different levels, and by devouring other dragons, one would always have the chance to increase the purity of their bloodline.

Cannibalism had been practiced in the Dragon Tribe since the early days. It was the natural method of passing power within this group of powerful creatures.

When an elder died, they had two possible fates in the Dragon Tribe. Either they would be buried, or their heirs would devour them.

The first option usually happened when the elder died in battle, and much of their bloodline was destroyed or weakened. In such cases, devouring their bodies would not produce anything positive for the one who ate them.

The second option was the one they usually used for natural deaths when they performed the power transfer ceremony.

In such a case, a dragon could increase its cultivation by up to 5 levels in a few months after devouring an ancestor's body!

A small "dead" egg wouldn't do the same, but it was still an advantage that dragons wouldn't ignore.

"I don't know..." Minos said when he heard that comment. "But even if we only find the shells of a dragon egg, that would be pretty good."

A dozen high-level pills had dragon eggshells as an ingredient!

This was one of the main reasons for the rivalry between humans and beasts in the distant past, when beasts devoured humans to become stronger, and humans mainly targeted the major beast races to steal their powers.

Phoenix feathers, dragon eggs, dragon teeth, sky whale blood, in short, small parts of the most powerful beasts in the world, could greatly increase the strength of humans!

Nowadays, the balance of the world doesn't allow for hunting these resources. Still, in a place like this, where there could be resources without owners, people like these men and women couldn't help but think about getting some of these resources.

But as they cautiously walked through the tunnel, they suddenly heard the sound of mechanisms, and one of them shouted.

"Damn it! A trap!"

Then, several spear-shaped dragon claws flew toward them from three different directions!

At the same time, large stone wheels closed the tunnel they were in, trapping them inside it!
