  Chapter 586 Rescue the Great Dragon Xiou (23)

   The damaged pillar in the middle, Ian doesn’t even need to guess, it must be the soul of a ‘human’, or a ‘Terra’...

  So, Lubeck can't be considered a human being?

  What is so special about him that he can be bound here in the form of not a soul but a body?

   "This is really weird."

  Ian can't figure it out—but he has a good habit of never thinking too much about things that he can't understand.

  He raised his hand, and the silver chip began to simulate the director authority obtained from the Azure City Laboratory.

  If you want to remove the soul from the soul-binding pillar, you need permission, of course—the brain-attached permission that Ian copied from Director Idmar is used here.

  He came to Xiou, in front of the 'Pillar of Binding Dragon Soul', and began to communicate with Xiou using his authority.

   Communication in the spiritual world.

  So, at this moment.

  Ian saw an indescribably weird 'dragon'.

   Can that really be called a dragon?

  The silver-gray scales are growing indefinitely, showing a chaotic charm.

As the dragon in front of Ian gradually visualized, he saw a dragon head that was huge and somewhat deformed compared to the body. The twisted dragon horns on the top of the head were like rotten coral reefs, and the gaps between the dragon scales were even more mixed. There are countless thorn-like weird tissues that penetrate into the flesh and protrude from the skin and scales.

  The cruel thorns even spread over the eyes of this monstrosaurus, making it impossible to close his eyes and see things. A pair of dim golden eyes are like sculptures, showing a kind of inanimate death, and hollow depressions are all over its mouth.

   It doesn't even have teeth.

  Ian’s heart sank slightly. Although he was mentally prepared and knew that Xiou’s real condition might not be very good, he never thought that it would be so bad... What kind of monster’s poison can make the real dragon unable to treat it?

   Could it be said that it is a super-sized giant beast similar to Void Breeding...

  It is useless to think too much.

   But he still raised his head, let out a breath, and carefully observed the body of this friend.

  The body of Teratosaurus was underdeveloped, two sizes smaller than the head, and it was very thin. The bones were very fragile at first glance, unable to support the abnormally developed head.

And its wings are like a petrified rotten tree. The criss-crossed skeleton just crudely forms what looks like wings... As for the tail, it doesn't have any flesh and blood, it's just a bunch of inlaid together Sharp joints.

   It's hard to imagine what kind of monster is capable of poisoning a true dragon's offspring to such an extent.

  But Ian took a deep breath, and he touched Siou's soul with his own spirit.

   Then, perception.

  【Xio (Monosaurus·damaged individual·extremely weak state)】

  【Third Energy Level·Soul·Foundation Stone·Innate Intelligent Creature·Adaptive Cosmic Life Form·Psychic Awakening】

  【Titan-level cosmic creatures, due to the trauma of their mothers, absorbed part of the void toxin, resulting in damage and distortion of the natural source material structure. It was supposed to be born as a stillborn baby, but due to the mother's full rescue, it finally survived in a deformed posture. After careful care, the brain developed at a high speed due to the body's compensation, and gained powerful psychic abilities]

  【Because of adapting to the living environment, you can advance to the 'Dragon of the Void', 'Steel Dragon' and 'Heavy Core Dragon']

  【Containing source quality: 521.4572 cornerstone units】

  【…】

  To be honest, Ian was not too surprised when he saw the information on Xiou's body soul because of the Void Breeds in front of him.

   But it still feels quite exciting.

   "Titan-level cosmic creatures—it sounds outrageous and too much!"

   Is this the original identity of the True Dragon Series? Ian thought so, a special kind of 'cosmic creature'... a kind of 'alien'?

   No wonder the true dragons have always been reluctant to participate in the disputes between humans on Terra, because they have nothing to do with Terra...

   But more than that.

   Definitely more than that.

Ian narrowed his eyes, and he noticed many doubts. For example, if the real dragon is really a kind of alien... then they can reach the third energy level, and powerful individuals can directly reach the intensity of the fourth energy level. The disaster of falling should not affect too much.

  Where are the traces of their civilization?

  Why do most real dragons live like beasts without society and civilization?

  Even if there is wisdom, it is not like the kind of wisdom that can communicate with each other...

  There are too many puzzles behind all this.

  Obviously knew some answers, but found that there were more that I didn’t know.

  But Ian is very clear that now is not the time to ponder these puzzles.

  What I have to do now is to wake up the dragon in front of me.

   "Wake up, Siou."

  He said softly: "If you still want to leave this place, if you don't want your mother to be ashamed and your friends to worry, then wake up."

   Then, Xiou woke up.

   "Ian?"

   At the first moment, Xiou recognized Ian, but it wasn't that Ian's disguise was seen through again, but that Ian didn't intend to hide it.

  He is still the image of a white-haired boy in the spiritual communication.

   "I'm here to rescue you from this place."

  Ian’s eyes reflected a cyan halo—he frowned indiscernibly, because Xiou’s body had a faint silver light besides the light red that represented danger.

  The same silver light as Frost Butterfly and Miles.

  —Can Xiou get similar benefits? No, what are the benefits... The frequency of occurrences has reached a suspicious level.

Thinking of this, Ian urged Xiou: "To be honest, you are really involved in a big trouble-it can even be said that all of this was caused by you being arrested, but you never wanted to rescue you. Simple."

  Ian sighed with emotion in his mouth, but actually knew that the journey along the way was not easy.

  If it wasn't for him being a prophet, basically no one would be able to defeat the nightmare breeds at the Institute of the Intellect, and the Huaiguang Rescue Team would also lose a lot of people.

  If he hadn't quickly judged that the Lord of the Dead was attacking the researchers on the side of Grand Duke Thorin, and Viscount Avak had lured away the guards of the Thorn Plain just at this time...

  Everything will never be so simple.

   This is the 'easy' difficulty that only the Prophet can play!

   But Xio didn't think that much.

  He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.

   Turns out He saw nothing—no nausea, no fear, no pity, no sympathy or disgust.

  Ian looked at him like he was looking at a dragon.

   Nothing could be more ordinary.

   "Aren't you afraid of me..."

  He whispered, and Ian was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Xiou was still struggling with such a trivial matter at this time, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "The scale you gave me is enough for me to understand you."

   "Listen, Xiou, you are a dragon, and you are a good dragon. What's more, don't you have a prosthetic body? I saw your virtual projection outside, and I have to say that both men and women are very beautiful."

"Although Anfa will most likely be angry, I still have to say that his face is not intrusive in the slightest when he wears a skirt, not to mention that you look better after fine-tuning, which proves that you have an extra talent for beauty. Will like you very much."

  Xio didn't keep up with Ian's jumping thinking. To be honest, few on Terra can keep up.

  After he finally understood, Jilong showed an indescribable expression: "So... are you here to save me? What about Mom, Anfa and Manya?"

   "Their team should be in Avak now."

Ian recalled what he saw in the monitoring room of the Institute of the Intellectuals. There was indeed a team of mountain people with the characteristics of the Dragon Worship Cult. He nodded and said, "But I'm the fastest one—by the way, after I rescue you out , don’t tell others that I saved you.”

   "Remember, the one who saved you was Mahdi, the knight of the valley, not Ian! Do you understand?"

   "Understood." Xiou nodded blankly, apparently he had been imprisoned for a long time and hadn't figured out what was going on: "It's just opening the vest, I'm very skilled...but, but..."

  But after a long while, He finally uttered a sentence: "I was ambushed in the western border, defeated in the siege, and then passed out?"
