Chapter 2768 Between Two Mountains
This place looked like the area in which Han Sen had first found the little red bird . Even the mountains and stones were charcoal . The little red bird was born in a place just like this, if you removed the additional suns from the equation .
“This is an impressive use of the fire element . It turned this whole place into charcoal . That isn’t something ordinary heat can do,” Dragon One said in awe .
Han Sen raised his head and looked into the sun high above . He thought the suns were the most suspicious aspect of this realm . Perhaps they weren’t even suns, at all . They might have been some scary, fire-element xenogeneics for all he knew .
“According to the Red Rat survivor, one of the suns exploded and turned them all to dust . So, it is certainly possible that they’re living beings . ” Han Sen considered the possibility, but he didn’t dare to try teleporting closer to the suns to check . He was there to claim easy rewards, not to needlessly risk his life . Even if the suns were some sort of powerful xenogeneic, there was no need for Han Sen to risk his own safety .
Dragon One tilted his nose into the wind and sniffed, then smiled . “It looks like many other creatures have already been here before we arrived . ”
“You’re a Dragon, not a dog,” Han Sen thought . “How can you take a whiff of the air and discern how many people were here before us?”
Dragon One was oblivious to Han Sen’s skepticism, though . He went on to say, “The Destroyed have been here . The Foxes have been here, as well…”
Dragon One named a dozen different races . Han Sen was shocked . He didn’t know about most of the races Dragon One mentioned, but Barr and Elder Nader had been there, so Dragon One was correct about the presence of the Destroyed .
“Your nose sure is powerful,” Han Sen complimented .
Dragon One smiled . “That is nothing remarkable . It is just a small trick of mine . I can analyze the substances that creatures and people leave behind, and it lets me learn who they were . ”
“That is so powerful,” Han Sen said, with honest admiration in his voice . His Dongxuan Aura was similar to this, but this was more straightforward .
As the pair were talking, a shadow appeared . It was heading for the old charcoal city .
Han Sen and Dragon One looked warily at the shadow . In a place like this, they needed to be cautious until they were certain of who was approaching them . It could very well have been an enemy . They couldn’t let their vigilance slip for one moment .
“It’s Bao Lian of the Extreme King,” Han Sen thought . He looked at the shadow with shock . He hadn’t expected to meet Bao Lian there .
But when he had seen Bao Lian before, he was Han Sen . Bao Lian had never met Dollar before, so Han Sen stayed silent and didn’t say anything .
“This is a deified from the Extreme King . His name is Bao Lian,” Dragon One said with a frown .
While they were talking, Bao Lian landed at a place that wasn’t too far from them . He observed the two of them, and then he looked at Dragon One and said, “Ah, it is Mr . Dragon One . I didn’t expect to see you here . Since we’ve encountered each other under such unlikely circumstances, I can only consider it as fate . Are you willing to explore this xenogeneic space with me?”
Bao Lian was surprisingly polite . He didn’t act like the average Extreme King elite . Han Sen was surprised .
The Dragons were brave people, but compared to the Extreme King, they weren’t as talented . And the Dragons sort of relied on the power and infrastructure of the Extreme King . In a way, the Extreme King were their employers or landlords . There was no need for Bao Lian to behave so politely .

Han Sen had no idea that while King Bai was in charge, the Bao family had been doing poorly . They were doing anything that they could to gain an edge . This time, they had sent Bao Lian to explore the new xenogeneic space .
Bao Lian must have known it was a dangerous endeavor . Co-operating with powerful elites like Dragon One would be safer than exploring alone .
“I would like to . ” Dragon One looked at Han Sen and smiled with his answer .
Dragon One was worried that this place might be too dangerous, just as Bao Lian thought it might be . Since they shared a like mind, an alliance seemed to make sense .
“Who is this?” Bao Lian asked, indicating Han Sen .
Dragon One introduced Han Sen as Dollar . Bao Lian stared at Han Sen in amazement, and he said, “Is this the Dollar who came first place in the Geno Being Scroll battles? I heard your name a long time ago . It is a shame it has taken me so long to finally meet you . You really are a talented young man . ”
Although the Extreme King hadn’t had any of their people participate in the Geno Being Scroll fights, Bao Lian had made sure to watch the battles unfold . He recognized Dollar, but he wasn’t really as starstruck as he was pretending to be . He only knew there was a guy called Dollar who was supposedly pretty good .
“Mr . Bao Lian, you are more knowledgeable than I am . Can you tell me which civilization might have once occupied a city such as this?” Dragon One asked Bao Lian after their greetings were over .
Bao Lian glanced at the buildings all around them . “These structures are fairly primitive . Races usually create buildings like this when they are in their infancy . Because this culture was obviously new and underdeveloped, it is difficult to determine which race might have actually owned these . ”

After pausing briefly, Bao Lian pointed at a tower in the old city . “On this tower’s wall, you can see the traces of a carving . It looks like a carving of a phoenix . And this place seems to have been barbecued by something possessing a frightening amount of power with the fire element . ”
“A deified phoenix, perhaps?” Dragon One asked in wonder . He quickly looked where Bao Lian was pointing, and he noticed there was indeed a carving there—albeit a slightly blurred one . Very faintly, he could make out the shape of a bird .
But Dragon One had never seen one of the legendary, true god phoenixes before . He didn’t know if that was what a phoenix actually looked like .
Bao Lian nodded and said, “Phoenixes are the alphas of the fire element . It is very rare that a true god phoenix arises, and if one does, even the Extreme King will not dare offend it . If this place really is connected with a phoenix, we are going to have to be careful . We cannot risk provoking it . ”
Dragon One nodded his agreement, then turned the conversation to how they should proceed . Once they decided on a route to follow, they moved past the city and ventured deeper into the xenogeneic space .
Han Sen pretended to not know who Bao Lian was, and Bao Lian seemed interested enough to meet Han Sen . They talked quite a bit, and Bao Lian seemed to like him .
Bao Lian continued to behave humbly, and he didn’t act like the typically arrogant Extreme King . But Han Sen knew Bao Lian was a very powerful adversary . The last time they fought, Han Sen found himself in a very tricky situation .
And Han Sen had yet to figure out what sort of power Bao Lian had wielded when they last fought . In truth, he was a little afraid of Bao Lian . He needed to figure out how the man’s power worked .
The two of them got along very well . They chatted so much along the way, it was almost as if they were brothers .

“There are creatures over there,” Dragon One interrupted them from upfront .
Han Sen and Bao Lian looked ahead and found themselves looking at two large mountains . They were 10,000 meters high, and a long stretch of wood bridged the distance between them, running from one peak to the other . In the middle of the bridge stood a big, black-steel bell .
Many creatures were standing along the bridge, staring at the black-steel bell .
