Chapter 449: How Could It Be the Dragon Clan?

This Han River was very long, its source nowhere in sight.

However, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle never intended to find the source of this long river.

Who knew how long it would take to walk along this river?

All Lin Xun wanted to do was cross this river and see the sights and strange people his Grandfather had mentioned in his diary.

Although Honeysuckle was only a guide, she possessed the strength of the Sea Gazing Realm.

She flew across this Icy River along with Lin Xun.

While crossing the Icy River, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle felt an endless chill.

The chill that pierced their Divine Souls caused their Divine Souls to tremble involuntarily.

They had a feeling that beyond this Icy River, there would be a brand new world.

A world they had never seen before.

And this river was the boundary that divided the two worlds.

Furthermore, for some reason,

Honeysuckle felt a strange sense of familiarity in her heart.

It was as if she was meant to come here.

What exactly was going on?

After crossing the Icy River, the path ahead was no longer shrouded in mist.

Lin Xun and Honeysuckle walked as if they were in an Ancient Jungle.

However, in this place, Divine Sense could not be released externally.

This meant Lin Xun could not use his external Divine Sense to perceive the surrounding terrain, or even sense enemies nearby.

To give a simple example, if someone was hiding in the grass five meters away from Lin Xun, Lin Xun would not know.

The same applied to others.

The restriction on the detection and release of Divine Sense seemed to be the Law of this world.

No one could violate it.

Two more days passed.

The Demonic Beasts Lin Xun and Honeysuckle encountered ranged in Realm from the Immortal Cave to those whose strength was roughly equivalent to the Jade Purity Realm.

However, these Demonic Beasts were utterly insignificant before Lin Xun.

Instead, Honeysuckle was curious about the limits of Lin Xun’s strength.

He handled even Jade Purity Realm Demonic Beasts with such ease.

Could this person be the legendary Immortal Realm expert?

But Honeysuckle would not ask.

A client’s Realm was their privacy, and Honeysuckle had Professional Integrity.

The facts proved that Lin Xun bringing Honeysuckle along was indeed the correct decision.

The knowledge and experience Honeysuckle had accumulated in the Desolate Region proved very useful.

Not only did Honeysuckle help Lin Xun break several troublesome natural Magic Formations, but she also had a deep understanding of medicinal herbs and food.

Honeysuckle also played a crucial role in finding the most suitable places for rest and shelter.

It could be said that having Honeysuckle by his side greatly improved Lin Xun’s quality of life.

After all, Honeysuckle frequently entered and exited the Desolate Region and was accustomed to this kind of “Wilderness Survival” life.

Moreover, as a girl from the Leopard Clan, she was not pretentious at all; in some ways, she was tougher than a man.

This made Lin Xun much more comfortable when interacting with Honeysuckle.

There was no need to worry excessively about minor details.

However, Lin Xun was somewhat curious.

His Grandfather wrote in his diary that after crossing the Icy River, his mind gradually became confused.

But why did he not feel anything at all?

Could it be that he took the wrong path?

Or was it because too much time had passed, and many things in this Desolate Region had already changed?

Then, one night, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle took turns keeping watch. When it was Honeysuckle’s turn, a strange sound echoed through the mountains and forests.

The ears perked up on Honeysuckle’s head twitched slightly.

As a Yao Race member, Honeysuckle’s innate perception was undoubtedly many times higher than Lin Xun’s, a Human Race member!

And the sound was getting closer.

“Big Brother Lin, there’s movement!”

Confirming the abnormality, Honeysuckle woke Lin Xun.

Lin Xun lay on the ground with his ear pressed to the earth and indeed heard a sound.

What is this?

Hoofbeats?

But why were they so chaotic? How many horses were there?

Without hesitation, Lin Xun pulled Honeysuckle out of the cave and climbed up a tall tree.

Thirty breaths later, in the darkness, Lin Xun saw a Headless Black Horse charging past.

Riding the Headless Black Horse was a Headless Soldier.

Both the Headless Black Horse and the Headless Soldier were two or three times the size of a normal person!

They were comparable to the Small Giants of the Giant Country in the Demon Race World.

After the leading general rushed past, row after row of soldiers followed closely behind.

They were all headless.

Their marching speed was incredibly uniform, and the distance between horses was perfectly maintained!

They had definitely undergone rigorous training!

Which meant!

This was an army! A well-trained Headless Cavalry!

Beside Lin Xun, Honeysuckle, who also witnessed this scene, held her breath.

She had never imagined seeing such a sight in the depths of the Desolate Region!

And these cavalrymen were truly headless, just as Big Brother Lin had said!

“What I’m about to do is very dangerous. You should go back. Can you find your way back?”

Lin Xun asked Honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle nodded without saying much, because she had previously promised Lin Xun that she would leave when he told her to.

“I set up Special Markers on the way here, so…”

As Honeysuckle took out a Green Magic Pearl, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

Under the moonlight, even Lin Xun could see Honeysuckle’s Pale complexion.

“What’s wrong?”

“Big Brother Lin,” Honeysuckle forced herself to look calmly at Lin Xun, her voice trembling slightly, “The markers… they’ve failed.”

“Failed?”

“This Magic Pearl in my hand is meant to be paired with the markers I placed earlier. It guides us to the markers’ locations so we can return smoothly.

But now, this Magic Pearl can no longer sense them.”

Lin Xun frowned slightly.

Although there was no mist in this Desolate Region, the environment was extremely similar, and there were many Demonic Beasts.

If Honeysuckle walked aimlessly forward like this, she could easily run into trouble.

At the same time, Honeysuckle felt extremely guilty.

She felt she had failed in her responsibility.

Because there were two Magic Pearls, one of which was prepared for Lin Xun.

The purpose was to ensure Lin Xun could return without trouble when he wanted to leave.

But now, losing the markers meant losing direction in this Desolate Region.

“Big Brother Lin, you go ahead and follow them first.”

Honeysuckle handed over a Magic Pearl.

“I’ll head back and fix the markers. That way, it will be much easier for Big Brother Lin to evacuate the Desolate Region later.”

“Forget it.”

Lin Xun shook his head.

“It’s too easy for something unexpected to happen if you go back alone.

I’ll see you off.”

“No!” Honeysuckle quickly shook her head. “Please, Big Brother Lin, don’t do that. By doing so, you would be insulting my dignity.”

Lin Xun: “…”

“How can I let Big Brother Lin pay for my mistake? I must go back alone.”

Saying this, Honeysuckle started to walk back.

However, Lin Xun immediately grabbed Honeysuckle’s hand.

“Never mind, never mind. If that’s the case, if you’re willing, how about continuing as my guide and moving forward with me?”

Lin Xun figured Honeysuckle would definitely perish if she went back alone. If so, it was better to keep her by his side.

At least he was confident he could keep her alive.

Honeysuckle pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision!

She wanted to continue moving forward.

As a member of the Leopard Clan, her intuition told her that something was definitely up ahead!

“I definitely won’t become Big Brother Lin’s burden!” Honeysuckle stated solemnly.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Lin Xun took Honeysuckle’s hand and chased after the Headless Iron Cavalry!

At this moment, the Secret Realm’s Law, which blocked Divine Sense detection, created favorable conditions for Lin Xun.

The Headless Cavalry did not notice anyone following them.

They hadn’t even considered that someone might be following them.

Finally, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle arrived before a City!

That’s right, a City.

This City was very tall, roughly twice the height of the walls of the Imperial Capital of Qian Kingdom.

Lin Xun didn’t know what was inside the City.

As for trying to sneak in, Lin Xun felt it would be very troublesome if his presence clashed with the atmosphere inside the walls.

Left with no choice, Lin Xun could only give up on entering the City.

Although Lin Xun was very curious, he knew that curiosity killed the cat.

This City was huge.

Lin Xun and Honeysuckle tried to bypass this City, and it took them quite a while.

Near this City, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle discovered several more cities.

Every City was ridiculously large.

From outside the City, Lin Xun had no idea what was happening inside.

It was time to go back.

Lin Xun felt he could only explore this far for now.

Once he recovered to the Spirit Refining Realm again, he would personally come back and take a look.

However, on the way back, the markers they had placed along the route failed again, as expected.

The two could only rely on their memory of the route to walk back!

As they walked, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle realized they were lost!

It seemed as if all the scenery had changed, yet nothing had changed at all, but they simply couldn’t find the way.

They didn’t know where they were going.

Eventually, Lin Xun and Honeysuckle didn’t know where they had ended up, but there seemed to be the sound of a Waterfall nearby.

The sound of a Waterfall meant there was a water source.

Perhaps by following the water source, they could find a path out.

Just as Lin Xun and Honeysuckle approached the Waterfall, a woman was bathing inside it.

The woman had a pair of crystalline Dragon Horns on her head, and her snow-white skin radiated a faint glow under the moonlight.

Crystal clear water droplets silently slid down her back, falling completely without any obstruction; her smooth back was like silk.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed they could even see Crystalline Scales beneath the girl’s delicate skin!

The scales emitted small points of light, which not only didn’t feel out of place but also possessed a wonderfully strange beauty.

Is this the Dragon Clan?

How could it be the Dragon Clan?

Didn’t the Dragon Clan go extinct?

Fearing discovery, Lin Xun didn’t look further, signaled to Honeysuckle, and they slowly retreated together.

But just then, Lin Xun stepped on a branch.

The “crack” sound of the branch snapping echoed through the forest.

“Who!”

The girl suddenly turned around and uttered a tone whose meaning was unknown.

Lin Xun quickly picked up Honeysuckle.

The next moment, a large pit was blasted into the ground where Lin Xun and Honeysuckle had been standing.

When Lin Xun reappeared before the girl, she was already dressed in a gown.

A gown as thin as a cicada’s wing wrapped around the girl’s graceful body.

Although the clothes were thin, you couldn’t see anything inappropriate.

A cascade of Silver-White Hair fell over her shoulders, just reaching the girl’s slender waist.

A few crystalline water droplets slowly dripped from the girl’s hair, silently falling onto the smooth stone slab.

A few strands of damp hair clung to the girl’s fair cheeks, curling around her delicate shoulders.

The girl was very beautiful, possessing an Exotic Beauty.

In the girl’s eyes, a pair of Golden Vertical Pupils radiated extreme majesty.

With just one look, Honeysuckle found she couldn’t move an inch!

This was the natural suppression exerted by a Superior Race!

“Who are you?”

The girl once again spoke in an unintelligible tone.

But based on the current situation, Lin Xun could vaguely guess the meaning.

The next moment, five or six Maidservants heard the commotion and quickly arrived beside the girl.

“Go!”

Decisively, Lin Xun definitely did not want to get overly entangled with this woman.

Lin Xun could now determine that some kind of Civilization existed deep within the Desolate Region!

Moreover, this Civilization was extremely ancient!

But constrained by certain factors, they couldn’t leave and were confined to the depths of the Desolate Region.

Watching the two flee into the distance, the girl frowned: “Chase them, capture them alive!”

The Maidservants knelt briefly, then immediately vanished, chasing after Lin Xun.

At the same time.

Horn Sounds blared from the direction of different cities!

Countless Humanoid Creatures rode strange Demonic Beasts and flew out from above these cities.

There were even Strange Dragons similar to Western Dragons rushing out.

Furthermore, the City gates swung open, and all sorts of Iron Cavalry rushed out.

“Crap!”

Lin Xun realized at this moment that he had definitely provoked someone of importance.

Soon, Lin Xun’s whereabouts were discovered.

“Big Brother Lin, you go first!”

Honeysuckle desperately wanted to pull away from Lin Xun’s grasp, feeling that she had already become his burden.

“Protecting you is the least of my worries.”

Lin Xun swept his spear past, repelling the approaching people without killing them.

After all, if they were truly captured, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

But if they struck first to kill, then it would be an endless fight, no matter what.

Deep in the Desolate Region, Lin Xun and many strange creatures chased after each other.

After half an hour, even Lin Xun didn’t know where he was.

But it was obvious that Lin Xun had already distanced himself from them.

In the end, Lin Xun even noticed that they hadn’t pursued him.

Had they given up?

Just as Lin Xun was wondering what was going on.

Suddenly, Lin Xun noticed a faint glow flickering inside Honeysuckle’s collar.

Honeysuckle also took out the Pendant from her collar!

“Dong”

From somewhere unknown, a Bell Sound faintly echoed. Lin Xun felt a stuffiness in his chest and a slight sweetness in his throat.

“Dong!”

Another bell rang.

“This is bad!”

Lin Xun felt a great sense of dread and pushed Honeysuckle away.

In that instant, a beam of light completely enveloped Lin Xun!

When the light disappeared, Lin Xun had vanished from the spot.
