Chapter 1 The Kingdom of Eternal Night

Fumbling around the cold cave walls, her bare soles stepping on unknown moss, and wrapped in warm clothing woven from vegetation, Lena quietly moved forward holding a bone spear.

She did not light the torch, fearing that the flames would attract the prying eyes of some dangerous creatures.

These dragon descendants of the deep sea are not afraid of ordinary light and fire at all. The light of the torch will arouse their hostility. Only the priest's candle flame can repel them.

While she was moving forward, she occasionally looked up into the sky. There were no stars or moon in the sky that was split by the rock walls on both sides. There were only layers of rock ridges that protruded like coral reefs. However, it was not that she could not reach out and out of sight. The weak light came from

Fluorescent vegetation emitted almost everywhere, lighting up Lena's path.

She is the medicine-gathering girl in the ethnic group, and is responsible for collecting medicinal supplies and vegetarian food for the gathering place. Not only her, but also the adult girls in the ethnic group must become medicine-picking girls if they do not want to have children.

She has no complaints about this. She also goes deep into the darkness and away from the tribe. When those boys reach adulthood, regardless of whether they are the children's fathers or not, they must hold spears and fight against the dangerous dragon descendants of the deep sea.

The bones of the deep-sea dragon descendants are of great use, and the skin and flesh can also be flavored and soaked in their blood. They can even strengthen the bones and muscles, allowing even a child to lift a gigantic cauldron.

However, everything has two sides, and hunting the descendants of deep-sea dragons often involves risks that the tribe cannot bear.

Dragon descendants of the deep sea often travel in groups, often in groups of two or three. The strength of dragon descendants fighting alone is definitely not comparable to that of a weak race like humans.

If you want to hunt one dragon heir, you have to be prepared to face three at the same time. Usually the number of adult males required is more than ten. This cannot guarantee safety and there will inevitably be casualties.

The number of young adults in a tribe is only a few dozen. The number of people who go out hunting must be controlled to a certain number. Not only is productivity low, but it is also difficult to produce sharp weapons. The bone spear in Lena's hand is a rare weapon.

This group of medicine-cutting girls had to stay at the gathering place to take care of the injured because of their hunting failure some time ago. There were not many people who could be spared, and no more than ten people were scattered. Lena was one of them.

When she usually goes out to collect herbs, she serves as the leader of the team, so she is lucky enough to hold such a precious bone spear.

The surface of the withered bone spear is polished as smooth as a mirror, and the tip of the spear is flowing with fluorescent light and sea blue, with the faint sound of waves.

According to the priests in the tribe, the world is dominated by seven ancient dragon kings. They are the masters of the elements and control the seven powers that make up the world. They support the huge clan of dragons that dominate the world. People can only survive under the abyss.

Hanging on for a breath, never seeing the light of day in the land of eternal night.

The master of the Dragonborn of the Deep Sea is the water dragon at the end of the waves, the absolute overlord of the abyss.

In this way, it is natural that humans cannot win against the Dragonborn, and their size is not the same level.

If it weren't for the accidental birth of a priest who was favored by the elemental earth line in the clan, the clan would have been exterminated long ago.

She had reached a dead end in front of her, but there was a faint light above her. Lena gritted her teeth. She carried the bone spear behind her back and reached out to climb the rock wall with her bare hands.

The rock wall was almost vertical at 90 degrees, and there were no unnecessary bulges, yet she was able to climb up slowly, which seemed a bit incredible.

This is a technique taught by the priests in the tribe. It can simply pull the elements to flow, allowing people to climb on the rock wall without the help of external objects.

This kind of technology cannot even be called controlling elements, it can only be said to be guidance, the priest of the tribe said so. However, for the medicine-cutting girl who has been walking under the abyss all year round near the rock walls with twists and turns, this simple

Elemental pulling is an undisputed magical skill.

"I found it, Ning Shen You Deng Xun," she held a piece of blue, mushroom-like plant in her hand. This plant that grows by the moist water all year round is called You Deng Xun.

It is often mistakenly thought to be a netherworld crop that grows by absorbing the essence of dead bones. However, it has hallucinogenic effects. A small amount can be used medicinally to relieve pain, create hallucinations, and can also focus on concentration.

She carefully stuffed the lamp, put her hands on her chest, closed her eyes slightly, as if praying piously.

This is the tradition of the tribe. Priests are the spokespersons of God and the people favored by God. They guide the world in the name of God, and the world should repay their piety.

Tribes would pray when they went hunting, and they would offer sacrifices when they returned from a great victory. They would also offer sacrifices and pray for obedience when the weather was bad or the rain was not favorable.

She was just thanking God for his gift, but soon her expression changed slightly.

A floating bud-like creature with wings and leaves not far away showed an angry expression to her. The palm-sized face looked funny when angry, but Lena couldn't laugh.

The fruit of the giant tree, the monster that can use elemental power, whether it is it or the descendant of the deep sea dragon, is equally dangerous to humans.

Lena set up the bone spear, and sure enough, the floating spirit quickly closed its wings and collided with it. Lena used her arms to force the bone spear to lift the floating spirit away. She was also bounced away by the recoil, falling downwards and falling into a

At the edge of a clear pool.

Lena's face turned pale. She saw the giant beast gradually waking up by the water. It was as tall as a person and had a bulging back. Its eyes were sleepy, but the moment it saw Lena clearly, its eyes became fierce. Its blood-red and narrow eyes

Staring at the bone spear, it had the aura of its own race on it.

There were faint black shadows in the clear water pool. With a splash, two slightly smaller dragon lizards jumped out of the water, slapped the edge of the water pool with their arm sturgeons, and let out a deafening roar from their mouths.

The floating spirit also slowly descended from the sky. Although it was just based on instinct, the two monsters quickly reached a consensus. They slowly approached and formed a cheese sandwich between two sides.

Lena closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as if resigned to her fate.

She won't have any chance to resist. Whether it's the sharp claws of the deep sea dragon lizard or the elemental breath of the floating spirit, they will instantly tear her apart like rags.



"Can Lena and the others come back smoothly?" The old man with white beard and old face was worried. His eldest son, the youngest and strongest warrior in the clan, crashed into the sacrificial site for the Water Dragon. He came back with his body intact but his mind intact.

Unclear.

Even though he is a rare priest who can communicate with the elements of the earth, it is of no help. He can only place his hope in the soothing plant of Youdengxun.

However, the Kingdom of Eternal Night is a land where the sun does not shine, and there are dangers outside the city-state. Even if a priest like him goes deep, there is still a risk of death, let alone ordinary people like the Medicine Girl.

But he can't go away. He is the high priest of the city-state. There is a safe barrier surrounding the city-state that can drive back the dragon lizards. He is the maintainer of the barrier.

When two tribes are at war, priority is given to killing the other side's priests who maintain the barrier, which is the primary goal of the war under the abyss, because the tribe that has lost the barrier will gradually be annihilated by the abyssal dragon lizards. If the number of priests has not been filled, it will die.

It's just a matter of time, and we don't even need to use more soldiers.

The priest is the spokesperson of God, but the only true god of the Kingdom of Eternal Night does not pity humans. It is the ancestor of the deep sea dragon lizard and the greatest enemy of humans.

How could he worship foreign gods?

Therefore, they can only make up their faith. This has been the case with priests throughout the ages. Only when they succeed will they be informed of the nothingness of God.

He kept the secret for nothing and no one could tell it.

Riding on the indoor night light powered by fluorescent plants, the high priest looked at the young man who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the bed and sighed, his face getting older.

Suddenly his inspiration was touched, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the distant sky, with an unprecedented horrified expression on his face.

A round of daylight fell from the sky filled with the deep ocean abyss, and the dazzling light surged and spread like waves, illuminating the land of eternal night where the sun never shines.

No matter humans or monsters, they can't open their eyes under the light of the bright sun. Wherever the light shines, not an inch of filth can remain.

At the same time, every inch of the water pool under the abyss was surging with ripples, and there was a long roar of dragons circling, but they did not dare to approach, as if the water dragon was also afraid of the sun that was like a god for the first time.

"Oh God!" The priest trembled, his wrist shaking uncontrollably.

Under the abyss, rumors about the Lord of the Sun and the Moon, the God of White Night, are widely spread. Thousands of people have regarded him as a spiritual support for generations. Only the priests of various tribes know that the God of White Night is a fictitious god.

Now the high priest just wants to kneel on the floor and kowtow to the sun while scolding the previous priests.

Isn't that endless light and heat the White Night God?
