Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 2 I Ate the Remains of the Dragonling
"Your dragon language is very standard..."

"Who did you learn it from?"

Language is a product of civilization and also a symbol of civilization.

Based on Hermione's survival memories and the short videos she saw on Earth, Zhou Mingxiang basically confirmed that she had arrived in the early to middle period of the Second Era of the Mysterious World, the Age of the First Radiance of Fire!

In this era, various extraordinary races, under the leadership of the racial masters who were later called the "Eight Ancient Gods", shed their initial barbarism through generations of reproduction and survival, and actually developed their own civilization.

Even vassal forces such as sea monsters, tree people, and humans gradually developed their own culture and had their own ethnic language.

However, the languages of vassal races such as humans can only serve as a means of communication between races.

For races naturally blessed by nature, such as dragons, giants and elves, the language developed within the tribe can not only be used for communication, but also leverage the power of nature!
This results in vassal races such as humans, even if they risk their lives to absorb the characteristics, still being far behind dragons, giants and other races in the use of extraordinary abilities!

Therefore, among the weak but more rational human tribes, outstanding people who secretly learned extraordinary languages gradually emerged.

Hermione is one of the best.

In addition to the languages used by many races to communicate, they also learned Giant and Dragon.

Hermione's tribe is a vassal of the giants. If they really want to learn the giant language, they can always find some ways and methods.

But Dragon Language is a language that humans cannot access!

Because weak humans will only appear in front of the dragon as food!

Facing the curious question from the black-veiled monster woman, Zhou Mingxiang swallowed his saliva and said with a stiff upper lip, "I once ate the remains of a young dragon."

The woman in the black dress said calmly, "It is indeed so."

Zhou Mingxiang was stunned. Hearing the woman's words, it seemed as if the secret that Hermione had carefully hidden could be easily guessed by Him.

For unknown reasons, the woman in the black dress, who had retracted her monstrous features, slowly spoke, "By devouring a transcendent individual, one gains their various abilities... This is no secret among transcendent races. Only humans, who have never produced a powerful being, are unaware of this common knowledge."

The secret that Hermione obtained after escaping death was just common sense among the extraordinary races... The gap between races was like an insurmountable chasm.

Zhou Mingxiang lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

The woman in the black skirt then said:
"Among extraordinary races, this behavior is called devouring traits, but not all traits can be devoured at will."

"Carelessly devouring the attribute will drive the mind insane..."

“Even traits of similar types can pollute the spirit and increase the mental burden.”

"Take you as an example. If you eat a few more dragons with similar characteristics, your abilities will be enhanced, but you will also go completely insane, and even your body will undergo changes."

The attitude of this monster woman was unexpectedly gentle... Zhou Mingxiang, who thought he was going to become her food, lowered his eyebrows to hide the thought that emerged in his heart.

At the same time, based on the explanation given by this monstrous woman, Zhou Mingxiang couldn't help but think of...

The woman's description is very similar to the potion system explained in the video!

The magic potion system refers to the mysterious world in which humans who want to become truly extraordinary must use evil spirits, dragons, monsters, the corresponding parts of magical trees, flowers or crystals, and other materials to mix them into magic potions, which they then take and absorb to master different abilities.

The video also points out that the potion system is a chain of progressively stronger levels, totaling twenty-two. Each path starts at Sequence 9 and ends at Sequence 0. Since Sequence 0 represents the level of a true god, it's also known as the Twenty-Two Paths to God!

Using the same route, take Sequence 9 first, then Sequence 8 after complete digestion, and so on... Taking multiple doses of Sequence 9 or Sequence 8 will increase the risk of loss of control. Have I really traveled to the mysterious world described in the video?

A hint of gloom flashed in Zhou Mingxiang's eyes.

She still had some doubts in her heart, because the video described that Zhou Mingrui would come to the fifth era of this mysterious world as the protagonist of the story.

Furthermore, the video highlights that Zhou Mingrui's arrival wasn't a time travel, but rather a time freeze caused by a pillar-level existence!

In the video story, Zhou Mingrui, who keeps looking for the way back to "home", finally makes the sad discovery that he has been on Earth all along... The hometown in Zhou Mingrui's memory is a prehistoric civilization that has long been destroyed on this Earth.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingxiang sighed softly in his heart: If Zhou Mingrui, who loves home so much, really encountered the day in the story, he would definitely find it difficult to accept this reality...

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingxiang sighed softly in his heart, no longer thinking about the things that had not yet happened. He thanked the monster woman in front of him who seemed to have a kind attitude: "Thank you, ma'am. My name is... Hermione. I don't know your name yet."

Zhou Mingxiang, who always goes with the flow, finds it not difficult to accept her identity in the new world, even if that identity is a woman.

At this time, the monster woman responded: "I know who you are. I have heard your name."

"You hold a high reputation among humans... although I don't think your high profile is a good thing. You should be thankful that the extraordinary races don't care about the growth of a weak race like humans."

As if she felt she had said too much, the monster woman paused before continuing, "'Doomsday'. The demon wolves all call me that."

doom……

Neither in the memories of the indigenous people nor in the story told in the video, Hermione had ever heard of this name.

"Are you also... a demon wolf?" Gradually accepting Hermione's identity, she tentatively asked the woman before her, "To be honest, you look very similar to a human woman, and you're the kind of human woman with an elegant and charming temperament."

Hermione spoke sincerely, and a slight smile appeared on her lips beneath the veil of misfortune, but it was fleeting.

The lady returned to her calm tone: "I am a demon wolf."

This lady named "Misfortune" doesn't look like a violent wolf at all, and her temperament is actually quite human!
Hermione sighed, "Talking to you almost makes me think I'm communicating with a fellow human."

Misfortune's gaze narrowed slightly, as if he were recalling something. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a slightly cold voice, "In this world... humans as brave as you are rare. You seem to have forgotten that you are the rations given to me by the King."

Hermione vaguely remembered this incident. She was searching for materials rich in special properties in the wilderness, but had the misfortune to encounter a demon wolf out hunting.

Because she was a rare extraordinary human, she was captured alive and sent to the palace of the "Demon Wolf King". However, the legendary tyrannical "Demon Wolf King" had no interest in weak humans like her and didn't even have an appetite to eat her.

So much so that Hermione didn't even see the appearance of the "Wolf King" Fregola before she was swept in front of "Doom" by the strong wind from the palace.

The Demon Wolf Clan seemed to regard this phenomenon as a reward from the "King" and tacitly accepted that Hermione, a human woman, had become the possession of the "Goddess of Doom".

Hermione sighed:

"When I was captured and taken to the palace deep within the Demon Wolf Tribe, I knew I had no hope of escape. Now my life depends on your will. If you truly wish to eat me, I will have no choice but to sacrifice my flesh."

"but……"

"I beg you to protect me."
