Chapter 1 Dragon Lair

Dragon Lair,
was a place that ran through Jiang Xiao's career.

The former Dragon Lair was an supreme and mysterious existence for Jiang Xiao. A little carelessness would cost him his life.

As time went by, and as Jiang Xiao became more and more powerful, the danger level of Dragon Lair to him also greatly reduced. But the only thing that remained unchanged was the mysterious veil that covered it.

To this day, people have not been able to figure out why the entrance to Dragon Lair looks more like a tunnel entrance than a gate.

Why Dragon Lair is a mixture of various terrains, yet they are clearly separated.

Why time flows so quickly in Dragon Lair, allowing a person to experience a day and night cycle in just a few minutes. And for Jiang Xiao himself, he had a huge doubt about this place.

Because in his *Chronicles of Star Warriors*, in the section on the Dragon Lair Star Beast Illustrated Handbook, there were clear illustrations of Mist Dragon, Crystal Dragon, Hidden Dragon, Star Dragon, and Prisoner Dragon, a total of five pages.

The following page, however, was written in mysterious text and had not been transformed into an illustration. Turning the page further, it was the Star Beast Illustrated Handbook of Zhongji Earth!

This also meant that although Jiang Xiao had entered Dragon Lair three times, he had not been able to see all the creatures in Dragon Lair to this day. There was still a mysterious dragon creature that Jiang Xiao had not encountered...

Er Wei's style has always been swift and decisive. Under her command, Jiang Xiao was no exception. As soon as he received the news, he connected to the office of Xiao Bo, the person in charge of the Dragon Lair base.

After communicating with Commander Xiao Bo, he flashed directly into Xiao Bo's office.

At this time, Xiao Bo was sitting behind his desk, holding the phone, listening to the busy tone in the receiver, and had not yet put it down when he felt a blur in front of him.

That kid is here!

Xiao Bo had a very deep impression of Jiang Xiao!

He had been stationed in Dragon Lair for many years. The Tail Feather team was the first team, in the true sense of the word, to conquer Dragon Lair.

And in this team, Jiang Xiao, this young man, was the only one who truly conquered Dragon Lair.

It would be more accurate to say that Xiao Bo was more like a hotel lobby manager than the second-in-command of Dragon Lair.

All kinds of Star Warriors and soldiers came and went here, and Xiao Bo sent off batch after batch of ambitious comrades and welcomed back one wounded warrior after another.

Such a cruel and sad scene was finally broken with the appearance of the Tail Feather team, and with the appearance of Jiang Xiao!

Even now, Xiao Bo does not know Jiang Xiao's true strength. After all... he is just a "lobby manager", not a tour guide accompanying the team.

When they first entered Dragon Lair to explore, the Tail Feather team dispatched an elite team of ten people.

The second time they entered Dragon Lair, the Tail Feather team streamlined the team members.

The third time they entered Dragon Lair, the Tail Feather team only sent a team of four people...

And this fourth time entering Dragon Lair, the Tail Feather team... no, the Star Advent Army, only sent one person - Jiang Xiao!

Xiao Bo's mood was complicated. He had been stationed here his whole life and knew how many heroic souls were buried here. Those who followed each other's footsteps finally waited for a great Hua Xia Star Warrior, a young man who... could solo Dragon Lair, clearing it alone.

He wondered what the mood of those loyal souls and withered bones would be?

Perhaps... they would be very gratified.

"Commander?" Jiang Xiao couldn't help but remind him, looking at Xiao Bo who was lost in thought.

"Ah!" Xiao Bo hurriedly stood up. Meeting again, Xiao Bo was still the same Xiao Bo, but Jiang Xiao was no longer that small soldier.

Jiang Xiao said, "If there's nothing to be instructed, I'll go down directly."

Jiang Xiao certainly hoped to go early and return early. The current situation in Hua Xia was critical, and a battle was about to break out. Jiang Xiao's presence could undoubtedly bring great help to Hua Xia.

"Go! I'll take you down!" Xiao Bo didn't stand on ceremony. Knowing that the mission was urgent, he personally took Jiang Xiao down.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Dragon Lair base had not withdrawn. In fact, the soldiers on the Russian Federation side had also not withdrawn. Some soldiers even thought that they would be doing useless work here, staying for a lifetime, but they did not expect that Dragon Lair... had opened again!?

Under Xiao Bo's leadership, the way was smooth. Jiang Xiao came to the underground again, in front of the entrance to that Dragon Lair, and once again saw that familiar small space door.

Jiang Xiao nodded to Xiao Bo and jumped straight in.

In an instant, the familiar feeling returned!

At the entrance to the space, there was silence.

The four terrains met: snow, wilderness, grassland, desert.

Jiang Xiao raised his head, shielding his eyes with one hand. The dazzling sunlight shone through his fingers and onto his face.

In the sky, the sun hanging directly overhead was rapidly moving westward. Before long, this place would be a scene of the setting sun.

So, what exactly is the secret of Dragon Lair?

Jiang Xiao's eyes were slightly red.

The scene of blue sky, white clouds, and a bright sun was quickly obscured by patches of dark clouds. Soon, a drizzle fell.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiao put on the Sea Devouring Garment. At the same time, under his deliberate urging of his star technique, the rain of Yu Tears continued to expand its range, and Jiang Xiao's perception continued to expand...

The first three times he entered here, Jiang Xiao and his team were single-mindedly thinking about how to obtain dragon star beads and how to get dragon eggs.

But now, Jiang Xiao's focus was obviously no longer on this, but on the word "exploration".

So... where could the secret of Dragon Lair be?

Is there... an end here?

In his perception, Jiang Xiao flashed into a grassland.

Jiang Xiao, who had no clue, could only choose a direction based on his own preferences.

Compared to the wilderness, snow mountain, and desert, Jiang Xiao obviously preferred the grassland.

In theory, this should be the territory of the Star Dragon.

Even in the dangerous Dragon Lair, the Star Dragon could be considered the top-level creature, but... all of this was no longer important, was it?

After searching aimlessly for a long time, Jiang Xiao even felt that he was wasting time.

He had spent a full four or five months using the form of the One-Eyed Crow to fly around the upper dimension of the snowfield. Did he still have to flash around in Dragon Lair?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao's heart stirred. Why not choose a direction and try flashing?

Could this strange Dragon Lair be like the upper snowfield?

There was Kuafu chasing the sun in ancient times, and now Jiang Xiao, it seemed, could also chase the sun?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao repeatedly adjusted his Yu Tears.

Jiaoyang quality Yu Tears could really achieve the effect of doing whatever one wants.

Any person's Tear Rain series star technique would make the sky overcast and make people feel suffocated.

But Jiang Xiao... created a "sun shower"...

Under the faint clouds, the fiery red sun quickly set in the west, the sky was clear, but it was sprinkling a drizzle.

Jiang Xiao also identified the direction of the setting sun and flashed away rapidly.

Running, of course, could not catch up, Jiang Xiao could only flash.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao could appear in any corner of a planet with a single flash, crossing a very large distance.

In less than eight minutes, Jiang Xiao... chasing the sun, had never experienced night from beginning to end, but had already flashed back to the entrance of Dragon Lair.

Eight minutes, one day and night cycle in Dragon Lair, is eight minutes.

In the past eight minutes, Jiang Xiao had seen all the terrains and all the dragon star beasts, but chasing the sun, he returned to the beginning.

So... is Dragon Lair also a planet?

Or is it like the upper snowfield, just connected end to end in a certain place, Jiang Xiao flashed too fast and too far, and did not realize that he had actually been teleported back...

"Sigh..." Jiang Xiao put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly.

After pondering for a while, he flashed to a vast grassland and found a huge Star Dragon lying asleep beside a gurgling stream.

That dazzling starry sky skin, no matter how many times Jiang Xiao looked at it, he would marvel at the magic of the creator.

Jiang Xiao stepped forward and walked towards the huge dragon head.

Whoosh...

A pair of huge and deep starry sky eyes suddenly opened!

The Star Dragon's eyes seemed to contain a universe, exquisite and dazzling, and looked at the little guy walking towards it with great vigilance.

Jiang Xiao was stunned... differential treatment?

Back then, Jiang Xiao had also communicated with a Star Dragon, but that Star Dragon dismissed Jiang Xiao, this "little bug", and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Even this proud race, after Jiang Xiao woke it up, did not bother to punish Jiang Xiao, as if... beating such a kid would make them lose face and be very demeaning.

But at this moment, this Star Dragon opened its eyes early and looked at Jiang Xiao warily.

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Was it because the star power fluctuations on my body were too great?

Did the Star Dragon... feel the energy fluctuations of the same level, so it treated Jiang Xiao seriously?

Jiang Xiao smiled friendly at the Star Dragon and raised his left hand.

"Buzz..."

Whoosh...

A big fish suddenly appeared in the sky.

Almost at the same time, the Star Dragon also slowly floated up, and star power energy overflowed from its mouth.

"Hello~" Jiang Xiao also floated up, his small body separating the giant whale and the giant dragon.

Under the bright starry sky, the energy overflowing from the Star Dragon's mouth slowed down slightly. Obviously, the Humm Whale conveyed Jiang Xiao's friendliness to the Star Dragon.

The fact proves that strength is the basis of communication.

When you have no strength, the Star Dragon can crush you to death, or it can spare you as a charity, all depending on its preferences.

And when Jiang Xiao has strength, and there is a Humm Whale floating behind him, the Star Dragon... such a proud race, suddenly became willing to communicate.

This world is simply too real...

A dragon is like this, let alone a person...

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, opened the space door, and took out a treasure chest from it. The box was full of White Ghoul Star Beads.

Star bead diplomacy?

Jiang Xiao opened the treasure chest. In an instant, a bright and shiny star bead glittered, making the Star Dragon's dazzling dragon eyes become slightly blurred.

Sure enough, dragons and women are the same, they all like shiny things.

"I have a question I want to ask for your help."

"Buzz..."

In fact, Jiang Xiao's idea was very simple.

Since this Dragon Lair only opened last night, what did this Star Dragon experience before it opened?

Before his eyes, the Star Dragon's body floated slowly, and its huge and slender dragon tail slowly extended and handed it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was not stingy either. He put the treasure chest on its dragon tail. On its beautiful tail, Jiang Xiao saw another solar system shining with dazzling light.

In this way, the dragon... should also like its own body very much, right?

Jiang Xiao said, "This Dragon Lair was just opened last night. Before that, do you have any memories? Where did you live? Or was it here?"

Uh...

Jiang Xiao thought about it and realized that his question was a bit inappropriate. The "last night" he mentioned was a day and night on Earth, while Dragon Lair had gone through countless "days and nights".

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and didn't know how to describe it for a while. If there were no accidents, the Star Dragon... wouldn't know time concepts like "minutes" and "hours"?

Damn, the Prisoner Dragon's life, from birth to death, is the process of Dragon Lair opening and collapsing. Obviously, no valuable information can be asked from the mouth of the little dragon Ao Ao.

The star beasts of the crowd are all cubs, hatched from eggs, and can only rely on this wild dragon race.

Moreover, the Dragon Lair has not been open for too long. I hope the Star Dragon can express it clearly?

Jiang Xiao couldn't explain it clearly, but the Humm Whale could understand and understand Jiang Xiao's meaning. For a time, pictures and emotions were passed on to the Star Dragon...

But the pictures that the Star Dragon transmitted back through the Humm Whale made Jiang Xiao a little helpless.

This Star Dragon is almost the same as his own little dragon Ao Ao. Although it has not died yet and has not experienced the collapse of Dragon Lair, at least its birth has no memory!

The Star Dragon has no previous memories, and there is no picture of the last Dragon Lair collapse in its mind.

It only knows that when it opened its eyes, it was already entrenched on this grassland.

Wait...

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips. Dragon creatures are hatched from eggs!

And this Star Dragon has no memory of everything before yesterday. Since it said that it was entrenched here as soon as it opened its eyes...

In other words, it descended into this world in the form of an adult!

It has no parents and no time and experience growing up from childhood.

Jiang Xiao looked at the Star Dragon and sighed silently, "Okay, thank you."

The Star Dragon wrapped the treasure chest with its huge tail and sent it to its mouth.

Rumble...

I saw the Star Dragon raise its head, and the White Ghoul Star Beads in the treasure chest fell into its mouth like jelly beans.

If it weren't for the fact that electronic products could not be used in this Dragon Lair, Jiang Xiao really wanted to take this picture.

Speaking of which, why is this big guy, which is 4 or 50 meters long, so cute, but Xiao Jiangxue's little broken dragon is so hateful?

Aren't all creatures in the world more cute the smaller they are?

"Bye bye~" Jiang Xiao waved his hand, sensed with the Yu Tears field, and turned to fly away with the Humm Whale.

In the rear, the Star Dragon threw the treasure chest into its mouth, looked at the picture of the one person and one whale flying away, tilted its head, thought and thought, and then secretly followed...
