Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 679 Ancient Dragon Projection
Seeing that Li Miao had come to her senses after getting ashore, she quickly composed herself and changed the subject, pretending to be serious:

"Well, now that we've found the token, I'll go back and find Lilmi first."

"You can also use Carlos's eyes to search again for any places you might have missed before."

"Okay, that's all for now. I'll go for a bit and then meet up here again!"

Li Miao was slick with oil.

"Li Miao, I ****!"

……

You have lost "Lirmi's Token"

"Hmm... I didn't expect you to find one of the tokens so quickly. You seem to be very meticulous."

Lirmi smiled as he looked at the token Li Miao had given him.

"You must have seen that scale by now."

Do you know why my keepsake was there?

"Or you can guess who the owner of that scale is?"

After listening to what Lilmi said.

Li Miao pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Seeing this, Lilmi didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

"The owner of this scale was actually a powerful dragon..."

Halfway through his sentence, Lilmi frowned, scratched his head, and racked his brains to search for his memories, but in the end he still sighed helplessly.

"But I forgot his name."

"Anyway, these scales... were left by him. The Queen had me place a token near his scales. Those of you who find the token can qualify to challenge him."

Lirmi slept for too long, and many of his memories have become blurred by time.

However, he did not forget the Queen's instructions.

After putting away the token, he went to the Cold Night Bat hanging upside down, grabbed its mouth and pulled it open, then reached into its abdomen.

"Um……"

"Where was it again?"

"I remember it being here, but I can't find it..."

Lilmi searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so in the end he simply stuck half of his body into the mouth of the Cold Night Bat.

Li Miao was dumbfounded by this scene.

Why is it looking for something inside the Cold Night Bat's mouth? Is it Doraemon?

"found it!"

After searching for a long time, Lilmi finally found the item and then threw it to Li Miao.

"Just inject the flames of war and let them melt onto that scale."

"Alright, let's continue searching for other tokens. I'm going to sleep."

Cold Night Bat shut his mouth, utterly despondent.

Lirmi then lay back down in the coffin, showing no intention of talking to Li Miao any further.

You have received Lilmi's reward.

[Acquired: Remembrance Gold Nuggets]

[Remembering the Gold Nuggets]

[Type: Key Item/Consumable]

[Effect: It will melt upon contact with fire; if it falls onto certain special objects, it will trigger a memory event.]

[Note: This looks like an ordinary gold nugget... You'd better not let it melt and drip onto the ground.]

"A dragon...could it be that dragon he mentioned before, Durza?"

Li Miao muttered to himself, remembering what the other party had mentioned before: the dragon that had successfully obtained the Soul of Eternal Sleep.

However, he didn't dwell on the question for long. He would find out if it was the dragon named Durza later.

"...It seems that a key item is required to trigger this boss battle."

Li Miao immediately connected it with some mission procedures he had seen before, and suddenly it dawned on him.

After obtaining the key item.

He didn't linger and quickly headed to the cave where the scales were, soon reuniting with those who came ashore. He noticed the other's unfriendly gaze, as if they still remembered what had just happened.

Li Miao quickly changed the subject: "How's your exploration going? Have you found any other hidden paths?"

“Not a single one.” He was even more frustrated when he said that: “Alright, stop talking nonsense, just take out what you have, stop dawdling.”

They often tease each other, so it's unlikely that this little thing would delay their exploration.

"We might be fighting a dragon later."

"Be careful."

Li Miao gave a reminder.

Then he took out the gold nugget of remembrance. After the flames of war ignited in his palm, the gold nugget quickly melted into liquid gold and fell onto the strange scale.

The next moment, the long, dark night swept in from all directions, enveloping the two of them completely...

……

After a while.

The long, dark night slowly faded away.

The uneven yet exceptionally sturdy black obsidian forms a stable earth, while the frozen night sky still hangs high in the air.

But their gazes both fell upon the enormous figure before them...

It seemed to sense that the presence of life had broken the usual tranquility.

The enormous figure slowly stood up and stretched its body.

He looked like a slug, but most of his body was covered with tough, dark purple scales.

On its back, countless slender, translucent arms are connected by skin and flesh, forming a pair of deformed yet uniquely beautiful wings.

Above its head, a pair of large, swirling horns were clearly visible, and most of its powerful aura came from these horns.

[The Projection of Gu Long Duzakall]

[Rank: Burning Spirit]

【Level: 71】

(More information has been hidden)

[Note: A projection is a unique flame projected onto another location by the most powerful fire. The projection of an ancient dragon... can almost be considered an independent life form.]

A projection of Gu Long?!

Upon seeing the information about the enormous object before them, the two were utterly shocked.

Li Miao's pupils constricted sharply.

Previously, during his travels with Zered, he learned a great deal about "dragons" from the crew member Iota.

Although the "dragons" of the Burning Earth do not appear in a fixed form, they do share some common characteristics.

For example... the horns of a dragon.

He had personally witnessed the horns that grew on the dragon hybrids.

The ancient dragon projection before me, with its horns on its head, whether in shape or size, or the aura emanating from them, could easily overwhelm any hybrid!
And more importantly... this is a projection of "Gurlon Durzakal"!

The owner of this name should be the very one Lilmi mentioned, the one who obtained the Soul of the Long Sleep!
This Gu Long projection really is his!

"Damn." Feeling a bit unwell after getting ashore, he forced himself to say, "Why does my body feel a little uncontrollably heavy..."

Li Miao did not answer him.

Because after stretching out its body, the ancient dragon projection in front of them had already turned its gaze to the two of them and slowly spoke.

"...Since the disaster, no one has come to try their luck for a long time."

“Your fire is burning very brightly.”

"In that case, let's stretch our muscles first..."

The sound from the Gulong projector is smooth, deep, and magnetic.

After he finished speaking, he didn't give the two of them a chance to speak. He spread his wings, and mysterious boiling patterns lit up on the large horn above his head. A terrifying aura burst forth instantly!

This aura is tangible!
Even Li Miao's armor trembled under the pressure!

"In that case, let's fight first and talk about it later!"

Li Miao let out a low growl.
