Dragons need to prepare for cocooning in advance in order to be resurrected.
To completely kill a dragon, you must prevent it from spinning a cocoon, or let another dragon completely devour the first one. Otherwise, you cannot truly kill the dragon race.
This is a consensus among all dragons and hybrids.
However, this rule does not apply to the Black King. The rebellion of the four kings killed it. The hybrids believed that the conflict over the unequal distribution of spoils prevented the Black King from being completely killed, but this was not the case.
Before they raised the banner of rebellion against their father, the four kings had already reached an agreement. The Black King's worth was enough for all eight of them to be promoted, so there was no question of unequal distribution of spoils.
The fundamental reason is that the four kings were unable to devour the Black King and could only watch helplessly as the Black King died and entered the cocoon.
They also tried to find the cocoon, but even with their constant destruction, the Black King's cocoon would spring up like mushrooms after rain, suddenly reappearing every now and then, seemingly endlessly.
Until decades ago, Xia Mi could no longer find the Black King's cocoon and began to panic. The idea of eating her brother started to surface, and she constantly searched for alternatives to abandon this thought...
"Your method is to infiltrate the hybrid race and then find the Dragon Bone Cross of the Sky and Wind King, right?"
Miss Fox remembers that more than a hundred years ago, one of the Kings of the Sky and the Wind died in the Kassel Manor, and Lu Mingfei's great-grandfather was among them.
Xia Mi must have remembered this news, which is why she wanted to find this brother's dragon bone cross to replace her own brother.
If the plot is not interfered with, she will change her target, Li Wuyue, to the more easily found Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross two years later.
"Hmm, the matter concerning Li Wuyue is strange no matter how you look at it. What do you think?"
Chu Zihang nodded. "It seems that the Dragon King's remains were deliberately sent to the Kassel Manor."
The remains discovered in ancient Chinese tombs were transported to the other side of the world without any hindrance.
It's important to know that a hundred years ago, Angers was just a young man, and the Lionheart Society was only a small, newly established organization.
Such a newly emerging force was able to obtain the remains of a dragon king even in the presence of the Secret Society.
No matter how you look at it, this is a huge problem.
Back then, the Lionheart Society used it directly for experiments. I don't know whether to say they were incredibly bold or just plain stupid.
“Li Wuyue is dead, there’s no point in mentioning him.” Xia Mi stared intently at the Black King Cocoon, which was constantly sending heartbeats through it. “Tell me your ideas, how can I absorb the Black King’s power to evolve!”
Not only can it evolve into Hela, but it can also completely eliminate the hidden danger of the Black King's revenge. At this moment, nothing is more tempting to Xia Mi than this.
With that requirement in mind, it wouldn't be a problem to make her lie down and meow at Miss Fox's feet!
"Don't rush, I know you're in a hurry, but listen to me, don't rush."
Miss Fox shrugged. She had only just acquired the Black King Cocoon and had already learned that the Four Kings could not directly devour the Black King. She would definitely have to study it first.
Anyway, it will take at least a month for the Black King to fully recover, so there's plenty of time!
Ok?
Why would she think a month is a lot of time?
After thinking for a moment, Miss Fox quickly shook her head and sighed, giving up on thinking about it—it wasn't a big deal anyway!
"In short, compared to the Black King, which we don't need right now, Xia Mi, don't you think there's something else wrong with Li Wuyue's matter?"
"Is there anything else wrong?" Xia Mi blinked, trying to look away from the black cocoon. "Is there anything else wrong? I definitely sensed Li Wuyue's death back then!"
Chu Zihang reminded him, "They are twins."
The four kings were actually four pairs of twins.
In the incident of the death of the King of the Sky and the Wind, there was only Li Wuyue from beginning to end, but not a single piece of information about her brother Li Yuanhao.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi remembered!
"...Li Wuyue's death is certain, but there is absolutely no news about Li Yuanhao!"
As Xia Mi tried to recall the memories of those years, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"After Li Wuyue's death, Li Yuanhao seemed to have vanished, completely disappearing from this world. We all assumed he couldn't bear the loneliness and committed suicide, but thinking about it, that's just a hypothesis. In reality, the Dragon Bone Cross never appeared!"
"Li Yuanhao is not dead! He's still hiding somewhere, lurking!"
"he...!"
Xia Mi was stunned.
Because she couldn't understand what Li Yuanhao was planning to do while he was lying in wait.
If revenge is desired, the events at the Kassel Manor are not difficult to investigate. However, the sole survivor, Angers, not only survived but also established the Kassel Dragon Slaying School. The Secret Society has also developed peacefully without any incidents.
Li Yuanhao ignored all of these things!
"why is that?"
"This probably requires considering another matter to find a possible answer," Miss Fox thought for a moment and said, "Five years ago—well, five years ago in the original story, which would be four years ago now—Kassel received a message about the Dragon King's whereabouts, and the message pointed to..."
"He is the king of the ocean and water!"
—
There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version
Chapter 1083 The web of conspiracy suddenly expanded.
King of the Ocean and Water!
Xia Mi was startled, suddenly realizing that the twins of the ocean and water mostly hid in the Nibelungen at sea, and that the entrance was not within the shipping routes of various countries.
To discover the location of the two kings, unless one knew it from the beginning, relying solely on luck would require a chosen one to stumble upon it, escape, and spread the news.
In other words, only by knowing the location of the King of the Ocean and Water can one tell others its exact location.
The person most likely capable of doing this is Li Yuanhao.
Before that message, no hybrid race knew the location of the King of the Ocean and Water, nor were any ships suspiciously heading there.
Li Yuanhao is the prime suspect, given his ability to locate the Nibelungen, leave alive, and spread the news.
"What is Li Yuanhao trying to do?" Xia Mi frowned. "To expose the position of the King of the Ocean and Water to the hybrids...!"
"Yes, just like you thought. He wanted to use the hybrids to kill his own kind and then devour them to evolve."
That's the only possibility.
"But the problem is, why didn't Li Yuanhao go and take back his brother's dragon bone cross and devour it? He's already dead anyway!" Xia Mi said, puzzled. "If my brother hadn't had time to prepare for cocooning before he died, I would have chosen to let him merge with me!"
Chu Zihang: "What if he can't do it?"
Xia Mi was taken aback, and looked at Chu Zihang with a puzzled expression.
"Hey...you don't actually think that a Dragon King can't take back his brother, the Dragon Bone Cross, from a hybrid, do you?"
"Perhaps he really can't do it."
Miss Fox shrugged.
Li Wuyue's death was orchestrated by a member of the Secret Society, or by another mixed-race faction, who plotted against the first Lionheart Society and Li Wuyue.
Moreover, according to the spiritual examination, none of the families in the Secret Party possessed Li Wuyue's Dragon Bone Cross, especially in Kassel.
In other words, Li Wuyue's Dragon Bone Cross was taken back by the forces that had schemed against the first generation of the Lionheart Society.
"Strange, just like with the Black King, I can't find Li Wuyue's Dragon Bone Cross on Earth..."
The moon... the moon is so small, we saw it all when we were looking for the Black King.
Learning from the Black King's experience, the asteroid belts near Earth were also explored, but Li Wuyue's Dragon Bone Cross was not found.
"You can't find it?" Xia Mi was very surprised. "Could it be that Li Wuyue didn't actually die?"
The Dragon Bone Cross is the tomb of the dragon race.
If no corresponding grave can be found, that's just one of the few possibilities.
The dragon didn't die; it was eaten and destroyed.
Neither of these is good news.
"They should be dead, but the force that the Dragon Bone Cross fell into is probably one that Li Yuanhao is not confident in dealing with, or that is very good at hiding."
"Yes, I mean it's very good at hiding things from Li Yuanhao."
Miss Fox has never seen the King of the Sky and the Wind, nor has she felt his presence, so she cannot track him accurately. She can only confirm his identity by checking the strength of each individual.
Then there's the entire Earth; although there aren't many at the level of the first generation, there are still quite a few.
The power of dragon-like words is not something acquired through cultivation, and it does not carry any energy aura. In Miss Fox's spiritual consciousness, they are all large lizards that look pretty much the same.
Careful examination is possible, but it takes a lot of time, and Miss Fox is the laziest elf to do such things.
However, some special targets are quite conspicuous.
"What does a hybrid need to go through to reach the level of a first-generation species?" Miss Fox asked Xia Mi.
Surely these four emperors, who lived to see so many, wouldn't be unaware of such a thing.
Xia Mi did indeed know, and she knew more than one kind of information.
"The first and foremost path is the Path to Godhood, which is the one you had Chu Zihang cultivate."
Hybrids increase their power by constantly ascending their bloodline and slaying dragons to bathe in their blood.
The advantage is that it is simple and quick, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to lose control.
Furthermore, to achieve the final step, at least a first-generation dragon species must actively provide blood; otherwise, the hybrid will only turn into a dead servant through prolonged torment.
It's an ironic path; you slay dragons all the way, only to have them willingly sacrifice themselves in the end.
From beginning to end, apart from the first being to complete the path to godhood, there has never been a second one.
Of course, the second one will appear very soon.
Xia Mi glanced at Chu Zihang.
"The second type... is the fusion of the remains of the first generation of beings!!"
Upon realizing this, Xia Mi suddenly froze!
Li Wuyue is indeed dead, but Miss Fox can't find Li Wuyue's Dragon Bone Cross, and suddenly asks about the method for a hybrid to be upgraded to a first-generation hybrid...
"Yes, it's probably the one you're thinking of, the one that's hard to say."
Miss Fox nodded, locking onto those hybrids who possessed power comparable to the first generation of dragons.
After eliminating several units that were likely to emerge from Black Swan Port, carefully identify the last remaining hybrid.
As expected, it was discovered that the hybrid's spine was abnormal and did not match his own. Some kind of drug was used to forcibly combine them. Although he gained a long lifespan and the power of the Dragon King, his physical condition was very bad.
"Huh... is this hybrid located in... the capital of China?"
"Right in the capital!?" Xia Mi's expression changed. Thinking of the years she had spent wandering around the capital in order to infiltrate Kassel, her expression immediately turned very ugly!
She didn't even notice!
If, by some chance, that mixed-race person were to take the subway, her Nibelung roots would shine as brightly as moonlight in the darkest night!
"It's the Chen family."
Chen Motong's Chen family.
Miss Fox was a little surprised, but also had a feeling that this was how it should be.
Gattuso is at the top of the mixed-race power in the Western world.
Chen Motong, a direct descendant of the Black King, should not be placed outside the family, no matter what.
Unless the partner is powerful enough.
It's likely that Li Wuyue's affair was a collaboration between the Chen family and Gattuso, a joint scheme to outmaneuver the Lionheart Society.
Li Yuanhao's lack of action suggests that the Chen family likely has other plans, which he knows, hence his lack of haste and his focus on his other brothers and sisters.
"The King of the Ocean and Water, I don't know if he's dead or not, but Li Yuanhao must have failed that time, otherwise I would have arrested him as the Black King."
Miss Fox didn't expect that just by bringing Black King Cocoon over to chat with Xia Mi for a few minutes, she could analyze a whole bunch of things through some clues.
As for its authenticity, well, it can be confirmed quickly with the help of spiritual awareness.
As expected of Gattuso, who wanted to replace the dragons, he was truly well-prepared.
I'll just pack it up and give it to Lu Mingfei later, let him handle it himself.
Li Yuanhao is probably someone Lu Mingfei knows.
"We don't need to worry about what's going on here. Come with me to a place, and we'll slowly figure out how to upgrade Hela for you."
