“Slaughterhouse? Did those people even capture the Feather Dragons and rear them just to kill them for their own use?!” When the Godly Sea Steadying Needle heard about a similar situation as its own, it immediately lost control of its emotions and wanted to run to the leader of the Feather Dragons.

“Wait, Godly Sea Steadying Needle, calm down.” Ye Chen stopped the Godly Sea Steadying Needle and asked the leader of the Feather Dragons, “Senior, can you tell me more about the Feather Dragons being imprisoned here? I want to know in detail.”

“Are you so concerned about this because of this little dragon?” The leader of the Feather Dragons looked at Ye Chen and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle and guessed the truth. “Its kind was also killed by greedy humans, right?”

“Yes, but its kind should have been killed more recently.” Ye Chen replied. “So, I hope you can tell me what happened and when.”

“The information isn’t very related to you helping my kind escape.” The leader of the Feather Dragons considered for a moment but eventually nodded and agreed. “I will tell you about it as part of the remuneration for your help.”

Ye Chen originally wanted to learn to set up this kind of array. Since he already knew that the key to the array was the special Spirit Pool of the Ice Fire Beetles and the relics of the two ancient Divine Beasts, he certainly didn’t mind that the other party used the incidents in the past as remuneration to

make up the amount.

To be honest, if these Feather Dragons really escaped, the entire array would be left for him.

So, Ye Chen happily agreed and asked the leader of the Feather Dragons to tell him about the array.

After listening to the other party’s description and the additional information from the Godly Sea Steadying Needle, he finally understood the entire timeline.

Compared to the long history of the mutated beasts in the Primitive World, these changes had only taken place in recent centuries.

Over 200 years ago, in order to obtain the various treasures in the Feather Dragons’ bodies, a continent-level master broke into the foreign realm where the Feather Dragons lived and attacked them. The Feather Dragons had stayed away from the world for a long time and had insufficient combat

strength. They suffered heavy losses. At that time, all the Feather Dragons that had yet to reach adulthood were taken away.

In order to rear this batch of Feather Dragons, this continent-level master used the relics of two ancient Divine Beasts to create an ice array and a fire array in the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. He kept the Feather Dragons here and made them reproduce in large numbers, making it convenient for him to

kill and use them as he pleased.

Over 100 years ago, this continent-level master died when he was 500 years old. In order to make it convenient for his descendants, he used the cultivation art tablet of the Art of Goulong to create an array key before he died, as the creator of the arrays, so that his descendants could enter and exit the

arrays freely.

However, right after he died, a change occurred.

‘The death of the creator of the arrays meant that the suppression of the forces inside of the arrays would gradually decrease. Therefore, the originally suppressed Goulong’s relic had regained consciousness in the array a long time after that person died. That was around 50 years ago.

As a member of the Human-Faced Snakes, Goulong was very angry when it heard about what the Feather Dragons, which were related to its kind by blood, had experienced. So, it created a way for the Feather Dragons to escape from the control of humans.

In the arrays, the strongest dragons were only Feather Dragons in the Growth Period, which could barely reproduce. Their strength wasn’t enough to fight against the humans who imprisoned them. Therefore, the most feasible solution was to prevent the humans from entering the array and snatch away

the cultivation art tablet of the Art of Goulong.

Fifty years ago, the Feather Dragons started their first resistance when the humans entered the array and were quickly suppressed. At the same time, a large number of young dragons were taken away and transferred.

Forty years ago, these humans attacked the Deep Sea Dragons that lived in the Ice Sea and took away all the young dragons there.

Thirty years ago, they attacked the race of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. Perhaps because they had killed too many young dragons when attacking the mutated beasts, they finally decided to go back to the array and get more of them from the Feather Dragons.

This time, the Feather Dragons, which had rested twenty years in the array, finally succeeded in their surprise attack. With the help of Goulong’s consciousness, they killed the person who brought the cultivation art tablet and entered the array. That person was a new continent-level master from the East

Continent at that time and he successfully sealed the array.

After losing the cultivation art tablet, no one could enter the array. That group of humans didn’t give up. Instead, they chose to lure in the beast tide and kill the remaining Feather Dragons to enter the array again, but they were injured by the array instead. Since then, the entire Ice Fire Beetle Mystic

Realm had been abandoned.

“Your road of resistance is really long…” Monkey exclaimed to the leader of the Feather Dragons. “No wonder you’re so angry whenever you mention those people. If it were me, I would also want to kill those bastards! ”

“That’s right. Those people are too cruel.” Little Purple couldn’t help but say.

“Master, those people slaughtered and captured my entire race at that time, so I’m guessing that they might have other arrays in their hands for rearing the mutated beasts they captured!” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle was very angry.

“Senior, if you want us to help you escape, what should we do? We will definitely help!” The Immortal Phoenix was about to fly into rage when it heard this and was patted by the Kun Peng with its wing.

“Don’t accept it for Master. We can help, but we’ll need remuneration!” The Kun Peng teased the Immortal Phoenix and turned to the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. “Five, so you’re really that old? Don’t worry, Ill definitely take care of you from now on and help you grow up as soon as possible!”

Hearing its words, the Immortal Phoenix and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle were angry and amused. They chased after the Kun Peng and fooled around, making the atmosphere a little more relaxing.

However, Ye Chen’s main focus was different from that of everyone else. He thought of what Zhurong said.

He walked to the leader of the Feather Dragons and brought up his question. “You only mentioned that Goulong’s consciousness has awakened. Has Zhurong’s consciousness never awakened?”

“We Feather Dragons are water-type mutated beasts and we’re not used to the environment of the fire arrays, so we don’t go there often.” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied, “That group of humans would use the bones of our kind to refine Spiritual Energy in the fire array. And when we sealed the

array, they also stopped using our bones.”

“So, you’ve never paid attention to Zhurong’s relic?” Ye Chen asked.

“No, I go and take a look at it regularly. Nothing has ever happened to that relic. If its consciousness awakens, the entire fire array will shake.” The leader of the Feather Dragons was a bit curious. “Why do you care so much about Zhurong’s relic?”

At this moment, Ye Chen, who had already confirmed that the leader of the Feather Dragons didn’t have any ill intentions, finally decided to speak the truth.

“In fact, Zhurong isn’t dead.” He said to the leader of the Feather Dragons seriously, “It was awakened once after you sealed the array. After that, someone threw the Mystic Realm that you’re in into its Mutated Beast Egg that had failed to reach Nirvana. I just woke him up completely.”

Under the surprised gaze of the leader of the Feather Dragons, Ye Chen added, “I really want to know why the Zhurong’s relic here has never resonated with its main body at all..”
