Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 81: Ancient Form, Wings of the Sky
Those were real ancient creatures that existed long ago, but it was in such a prehistoric era that it is difficult to trace back to that even immortal species like dragons were unaware of their existence. But as long as they existed, there would naturally be records of them, and the world would silently record all traces of all living things.

"What beautiful wings!"

Noah looked at the giant snake flying in the sky, and couldn't help revealing envy on his face.

The pair of wings that dangled from the sky allowed the giant snake, which was crawling on the ground, to rise into the sky and become the overlord of the sky. Without the pair of wings, the giant snake could still roam the vast earth, but it would never be as dominant as it is.

"Pity!"

When the silhouette of the giant snake that looked like an ancient god gradually faded, Noah couldn't help but sigh.

Because the golden dragon is the strongest true dragon species among the metal dragon clan, their dragon wings are so unique that they cannot even be called dragon wings. They are more like special fins that only play an auxiliary role in flight.

"I wish I could have wings like this!"

The moment the giant snake's shadow disappeared, the golden tree returned to his sight again, and this thought emerged in Noah's mind.

The moment this thought came to mind, even Noah's consciousness felt drowsy and sleepy.

Noah did not resist, or rather, he could not resist, because the true dragon's sleep was all-round, from the spirit to the will, and then to the body.

However, before he fell into a complete coma, a similar yet completely different feeling appeared. It was the Word Spirit: When Zhuri resonated with external forces, it triggered some kind of force to transform his body.

Now, a similar feeling appeared again, but the location was different. It was on his ribs and forelimbs. The feeling was completely different from before. It was a tingling, itchy and swollen feeling, as if bones and flesh were growing.

This feeling could be described as torture to some extent. Under normal circumstances, Noah would not be able to sleep at all.

But now Noah fell asleep, his mind and consciousness fell into darkness, he reached the state of unconsciousness, and no longer had any perception of the outside world.

When Noah woke up again, an extremely unfamiliar feeling of power suddenly surged into his heart.

The golden dragon slowly opened his eyes. In the empty and bright palace, everything seemed to be the same. However, with a little observation, he could find that the ground, walls and even the dome of the residence built by the golden dragon for himself had traces of being melted by high temperature and then re-solidified.

"..."

Noah raised his dragon claws. The five claws were covered with tiny and shining scales, and were flexible and bendable, not inferior to those of primates at all. However, this was a natural characteristic of golden dragons and was not surprising.

But this still cannot erase the strange feeling in Jin Long's heart at this moment, because the change of this body is too great.

The golden dragon tilted its head slightly, and what came into view was a pair of folded dragon wings, which a golden dragon should never have.

wow~
The dragon wings stretched out in the room, stirring up a gust of wind. Noah carefully examined the new dragon wings he had obtained after falling asleep on the spot.

Those were a pair of broad dragon wings covered with scales and feathers, which were different from the wings of any other dragon, and also different from the giant snake wings that looked like ancient gods seen in the scene that seemed like a dream back to ancient times, but there were some similarities.

On the upper wing bones of this pair of wide dragon wings, scales shining with gilded divine patterns cover them neatly and orderly. As the scales move downward, seemingly soft feathers replace them and connect with the dragon scales. Then, the feathers become more slender and gorgeous, with a gorgeous luster shining on them.

The scales and feathers have clear shapes and structures, yet they are combined together in a harmonious and unified way, creating a sense of harmony and perfection.

This special pair of dragon wings replaced the fin-like tissue that Noah originally possessed as a golden dragon, giving Noah a bit of sacredness and majesty that ordinary golden dragons absolutely do not have.

"If my parents come back, will they still recognize me?"

After carefully observing his new dragon wings, Noah couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind. But this is just a joke and ridicule to himself. After all, in the long years of evolution of the dragon race, there are countless alienated individuals, even those who are born freaks will not be held accountable.

Because most of the ancient dragons have some biological characteristics that their dragon branches do not have, it’s just a matter of size, more or less.

Now that Noah has undergone his second transformation, he has a pair of special dragon wings that most dragons do not have. However, this is not a big deal, after all, he still retains the main characteristics of a golden dragon.

It is indeed strange that he has such a condition at this age, but it is just strange. It is not enough to make Long feel amazed or surprised. If you really want to look for similar cases, you can find thousands of them.

"Ow—"

After initially adapting to his strange yet powerful new dragon body, Noah shifted his attention from himself to the outside world. Then, he couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, his voice filled with endless sadness and pain.

"Where's my Suncinder Crystal?!"

The divine object that even ancient dragons would be attracted to, now even its shadow could not be found. Noah's dragon pupils instantly turned into red gold, and flames flowed out.

However, no matter how hard Noah searched, he could not find any trace of the thieves. What's more, the dragon's nest defense array was still intact, with no signs of invasion.

"Did I absorb all of it?"

Based on the Sun Meteorite Gold that was still entangled under him, Noah came to a conclusion that even he felt was a little outrageous.

Before he fell asleep, the sun-fallen gold that he used as his new bed no longer had a dazzling luster, and revealed its original color.

This is a dark black gold, but from time to time there are flashes of light passing through it, outlining natural and simple patterns.

Noah knew that this was the true color of the solar meteorite gold, and the reason why it could show its true color was that the solar power contained in it had been basically squeezed out.

Its last remaining value is to be used to forge weapons. Of course, if you are patient enough, you can also put it in the sun and absorb the power of the sun to recover again, but this time will be so long that the short-lived species will feel desperate.

"My sleep this time consumed so much energy?"

Noah couldn't help but swung his tail, then stretched out his dragon body, compared it with the solar meteorite gold under him, and made a rough estimate.
"It's less than 18 meters. It hasn't grown much. How come there is not even a slag left of a good piece of Suncinder Crystal?"

……

PS: I really want to complain, it’s been so long and there’s still no big bird. I’ll put a picture of the new 5E version of the golden dragon in the comment section.

This is the most pleasing golden dragon design I have seen so far, but it is just pleasing to the eye compared to the previous versions of the golden dragon image.

To be honest, I never thought of writing about the Golden Dragon as the protagonist. It was only after seeing the new version of the Golden Dragon that I started writing this book.

But even so, I don’t think the image of this golden dragon is perfect. Those wings really make me want to complain. What the hell is that? What does anyone call the new version of the golden dragon?
Golden kelp, golden eel.

Of course, no matter how imperfect it is, this golden dragon still aroused my thoughts, so I did a lot of research and found that no matter which version of the golden dragon, its prototype is designed based on the image of the oriental dragon, but the elements used are hard to describe.
The most typical one is the catfish whisker, which is based on the whiskers of the Eastern dragon. However, when it is grafted onto a Western dragon, it becomes ugly. It has neither the elegance and charm of the Eastern dragon nor the brutality of the Western dragon. The whole thing looks like a weird mixture of things.

Therefore, although the golden dragon protagonist of this book is based on the new version of the golden dragon image, there will still be changes. As for the direction of the change, it is naturally the Eastern Dragon, because the design reference of this thing is the Eastern Dragon.
