Chapter 603 Little Black's Changes, The Three Dragon Kings.
"This giant dragon is..."
When Xuan Mo saw the dark golden dragon, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
However, looking at the dragon's appearance, he couldn't find any impression of it in his mind.
"Roar!"
As the dragon drew closer, Xuan Mo secretly activated his Martial Soul. If the dark golden dragon chose to attack, Xuan Mo was determined to teach it a lesson.
However, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly froze, and the soul power he had been secretly gathering dissipated.
Because he sensed from the dark golden dragon that it had no hostility towards them, but rather joy and excitement.
The next second, the dark golden dragon, which had been charging aggressively towards Xuan Mo, suddenly changed its appearance and behavior.
It then stopped in front of Xuan Mo like a puppy and nudged him with its huge dragon head. The force it brought was so great that Xuan Mo even lost his balance.
"Wait, you are... Xiao Hei!"
Looking at the giant dragon standing before him, behaving exactly like the mythical husky he'd heard about in his past life, Xuan Mo's eyes widened.
It wasn't Xuan Mo's fault for not recognizing Xiao Hei when they first met.
Even now, if it weren't for the dragon's power, allowing him to carefully sense the golden dragon bloodline emanating from it, he might not have recognized it as the Tyrannosaurus Rex from years ago.
After all, Xiao Hei had changed so much compared to then.
Now, there wasn't a trace of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"You've changed so much, kid! I almost didn't recognize you! Looks like you've had quite a haul here."
After recognizing Xiao Hei, Xuan Mo patted the dragon's head, his face showing satisfaction.
Just then, Mu Lin asked, puzzled by Xuan Mo's intimate interaction with the dragon. Of course, this was also partly due to his curiosity about Xiao Hei's race. After all, as someone who also possessed a dragon bloodline martial soul, Mu Lin could sense the purity of the dragon's bloodline emanating from the dragon before him.
"What do you think? Isn't that obvious?"
Seeing Mu Lin's feigned ignorance, Xuan Mo rolled his eyes at him, but still introduced, "This is the Tyrannosaurus Rex Xiao Hei I told you about. Let me tell you, he has the bloodline of a Golden Dragon."
"The Ancestor of Power—the Golden Dragon!"
Although Mu Lin had heard Xuan Mo mention it before, seeing Xiao Hei in person, possessing the Golden Dragon bloodline, still ignited a burning passion within him.
As he looked at Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei noticed Mu Lin staring at him.
He clearly took Mu Lin's actions as a provocation.
Naturally, driven by the pride of the dragon race, Xiao Hei couldn't contain himself.
Of course, the fact that Mu Lin's martial soul was also from the dragon race was undoubtedly a factor.
So…
"Roar!"
Little Black suddenly released its head, then swung its massive tail, sweeping towards Mu Lin!
Mu Lin's pupils constricted upon seeing this.
Normally, he wouldn't be afraid of this attack.
But now, he had just entered Dragon Valley.
Under the rules of Dragon Valley, his martial soul and soul power were sealed. Facing Little Black, whose strength was similar but whose physical strength was significantly greater, he was no match for it. He was more likely to be severely injured in one blow.
But just then, "Boom!"
Dust billowed as Xuan Mo made his move. With his martial soul activated, he grabbed the dragon's tail, forcefully stopping it.
"Little Black, you are too rude."
At this moment, Xuan Mo's eyes and tone were calm, but in Little Black's eyes, it was dissatisfaction.
At the same time, Xuan Mo's casual display of skill reminded Xiao Hei of the scene a few years ago in the forbidden plains when he first met Xuan Mo and another person.
Back then, there were two people, but the second one was the one tending the fire. This time, the second one was the one with the strange arm. When he first met Xuan Mo, he was severely beaten by this guy and even used as a mount. But in terms of what he gained, it wasn't a bad deal.
What Xiao Hei didn't expect was that after so many years, despite his significant improvement and even a purification of his Golden Dragon bloodline, he was still the same as before. No, to be precise, even weaker than before, easily killed by Xuan Mo.
Realizing this, a human-like melancholy appeared in Xiao Hei's eyes, leaving Xuan Mo puzzled.
"You're such a big guy now, what's wrong?"
"He's probably just feeling down."
Just as Xuan Mo was still worried about Xiao Hei's situation, a voice suddenly rang in their ears.
Upon hearing this, Mu Lin immediately became wary.
But in the next second, the world seemed to shift.
When the two humans and the dragon opened their eyes again, what came into view was an ancient banyan tree, its gnarled trunk intertwined, supporting lush green leaves.
The leaves, illuminated by the light, appeared translucent, and in the heart of the verdant foliage, there were nine-colored flowers shimmering with an alluring luster. The transparent petals unfurled and curled open, revealing several glowing stamens, like small lanterns hanging on the tree, swaying gently, appearing bright and charming.
"Where is this place?"
Just as Mu Lin was on guard, assuming an attack stance, Xuan Mo relaxed and patted him on the shoulder. "Mu Lin, don't be nervous. This is probably just the Dragon Kings' trick. Relax."
"Follow me."
With that, he followed the guidance filling his mind and took the lead into the depths of the forest.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei also returned to normal and followed closely behind.
Although Xuanmo wasn't entirely sure where in Dragon Valley this was—after all, the Dragon Valley's small world was vast, and he hadn't explored it all—the energy fluctuations surrounding them confirmed that this was indeed Dragon Valley.
That was enough for Xuanmo.
Mulin saw that Xuanmo showed no worry or hesitation, trusting his judgment.
Deep in the forest, the light was completely blocked by the dense, towering trees, the only light coming from nine-colored rays that shone like a starry sky.
The nine-colored light illuminated the forest like a verdant sea, and a gentle breeze caused it to sway, reflecting shimmering points of light on the ground, creating a peaceful scene.
Stepping on the soft soil, Xuanmo and Mulin breathed in the fresh air, sensing that this forest contained something far greater than any other part of Dragon Valley.
Soon, the two people and the dragon stopped.
Then, the illusory figures of the three Dragon Kings appeared before Xuan Mo and Mu Lin.
