Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1197: Setting Off Again

Meanwhile, on the other side, where the foothold is located!

Everyone was sitting there. With Long Xuan's disappearance, the power that had enveloped them seemed to have vanished as well. The darkness disappeared without a trace, and soon the entire space was bright again.

"The night just vanished like that?" Zhang Ke said blankly.

Over the past few days, he has recovered to about 70-80%.

At this moment, he had a look of confusion on his face.

Beside him, Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Heng and asked, "What should we do next? Should we head straight to where our ancestors are, or continue waiting here? None of the three of them seem to be coming back!"

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "This place is extremely dangerous. They might already be..."

Zhang Heng pondered for a long time, then looked up at the sky and said, "Let's wait one more day!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Ke frowned and said, "Wait another day?"

“Our ancestors have waited for countless years,” Zhang Heng said. “Why should we care about this one day? Besides, last night was too long. I don’t know if this is normal here. If it is, we need to be more prepared. After all, Silent Hill at night seems to be much more dangerous than during the day. Of course, it’s also possible that we didn’t encounter any trouble during the day!”

"Ye Qing's mental power and the combat power of the Azure Dragon Divine Bone are a huge help to us!" Zhang Heng said. "As a historian, Sun Jie's knowledge of history is unmatched by us, and she may be of great help in the future. So I think we should wait for the day!"

“I think that makes sense!” Zhang Ze said at this moment. “Besides, they were out all night. If they come back alive, it will be helpful to us in terms of experience!”

"Okay!" The others nodded in agreement.

……

On the other side, after Ye Qing and the other two came out, Long Rui was much more meticulous this time, and they traveled smoothly all the way!

Without a doubt, their previous missteps were most likely the work of Long Xuan.

As for the fact that the journey was extremely safe, Ye Qing estimated that it was highly likely that Long Xuan's ancestor, or the ancestor of the Qi-observation clan, had already resolved most of the troubles along the way!

Silent Hill is a cage; each area is like a cell, and no one can leave their cell.

If the problem is solved, then the area will naturally be safe.

On the way back, Ye Qing was also pondering.

The ancestors of Long Rui left behind the coordinates and map of this place. Besides obtaining the Heart of the Dragon King, it is estimated that this dragon egg was also one of their goals.

With one family having two emperors, creating a level nine civilization in this universe would be quite simple!

Of course, these are all Ye Qing's guesses. No one knows what really happened back then, as so many years have passed!

For example, if they knew about the existence of the Dragon King's Heart and the Dragon Egg, why didn't they take them with them, but instead entrusted them to their descendants?

Including why, if the Qi-Observing Clan knew how to leave Silent Hill, the Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear didn't leave...

He knew that Zhang Heng and the others were definitely hiding some information, but Ye Qing didn't know what that information was.

It took them nearly an hour to get back to where they had been stationed.

As Ye Qing entered, he noticed that Zhang Heng and the others had already regained consciousness. Upon seeing the three of them return, Zhang Heng and the others showed a hint of joy on their faces and said, "The three of you are finally back!"

Long Rui looked somewhat embarrassed.

Clearly, Zhang Heng and the others had been awake for some time.

Long Rui took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I drugged you..."

"I mainly thought this place was safe, and then... I wanted to go out and explore at night, but I didn't expect..."

Before Long Rui could finish speaking, Zhang Heng smiled and said, "It's alright! But this is only once! Everyone should enter this place as a group. Even if you want to go out to search for treasure alone, just say so, and we won't stop you! If there is a next time, we may not wait for you again."

Ye Qing agreed with Zhang Heng's words. After all, they would be going through a lot of trouble here, and if the trust between them broke down, everyone would be exhausted!

Zhang Ke looked at Long Rui and said, "Miss Long Rui seems to have gained a lot, advancing two levels. If I had known, I would have gone with you!"

“There’s a small chance!” Long Rui said with a smile.

Zhang Heng didn't seem to care much about these opportunities, nor did he show any envy. Instead, he said, "Now that we're back, let's... discuss what's next! The nights here seem to last forever!"

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and then asked, "What do you mean?"

“It seems that it was only just now that it was truly dawn. Judging from the time, the night was probably about four times as long as the day!” Zhang Heng said.

Long Rui shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be!"

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Long Rui.

“This night was very long, there must have been some unexpected events. We’ve gotten ourselves into some kind of situation. We need to re-analyze the patterns of day and night,” Long Rui said.

The darkness they encountered, which was related to Long Xuan, naturally doesn't count!

Zhang Heng frowned and asked, "What kind of accident?"

Seeing that Long Rui didn't answer, Zhang Heng didn't press the matter further. He nodded and said, "Alright! Let's talk about the rest of the journey!"

“According to what’s shown on this map, our next destination is about twice the distance from the entrance to Silent Hill to Verratti. If we hurry, we should be able to get there without any problems!” Zhang Heng said.

"Then let's pack our things and set off!" Ye Qing said.

Zhang Heng looked at Ye Qing, then nodded and said, "Alright! Everyone, pack your things and let's set off now!"

Ye Qing glanced at Zhang Heng and felt a sense of admiration for him.

Regardless of other factors, this guy has remarkably high emotional intelligence.

Soon, the group left the ancient dragon city and headed towards their next destination!
