Chapter 170: The Drained Conclusion – Nooooo!
Dodging the nest of the Female Fire Dragon, the traveler climbed up a barren hill, slightly raising his head. A mysterious perception made him lift his hand, but he didn’t know where to place it.
The face of the Dragon Person hunter that should have been pale had long turned dark from years of hunting in the wilds. Smooth skin was now roughened by wind and sand.
On his forehead now rested a headscarf for protection against sunstroke. Sweat once dampened it, but the sun kindly dried it out.
The Dragon Person hunter was tasked with an investigation mission. Unlike the grandmaster heading deep into the New Continent, he chose the eastern direction.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, he saw a landscape unlike the forest.
This land visibly scorched, wastelands and deserts stretched far, rocky pillars jutting out forming shrines.
Where will the sixth sense of the dragon lead him?
He didn’t know, but onward he went.
Perhaps this was the meaning and mission of his journey onto the New Continent.
Survey Corps Base, Starship.
The Commander grew restless; his relative had been gone for some time.
Perhaps he always knew. Beneath the quiet demeanor of the Dragon People hid a heart eager to explore the unknown.
Isn’t everyone who stepped aboard this ship, leaving their homeland, the same?
“Worried about him?”
A blond man cracked walnuts, smiling as he raised an eyebrow.
“Hmm.”
“Trust the instincts of the Dragon People. His path will surely become ours to follow. Need me to find him?”
Looking at the man’s confident yet carefree smile, an ominous premonition gripped the Commander’s heart, causing him to cross his arms and glare at the Team Leader.
“I trust him. You might disappear with him.”
“Ho… cough, cough. Isn’t disappearing while searching for someone just natural?”
The Team Leader coughed, touching his throat, glancing aside but soon turning back.
“If his disappearance has meaning, I think every member of the survey team searching for him would also vanish.”
Yes, all of them stepping on the same ship, leaving home, were the same kind of people.
“So, can I disappear for a bit?”
“No,”
The Commander shook his head decisively. “Since we’re all alike, I’ll trust him.”
Trusting his relative’s disappearance holds significance.
“So you don’t trust me?”
The Team Leader forced out an expression of sadness over being untrusted.
“I trust you’ll disappear.”
Trusting the Team Leader’s disappearance is unnecessary.
“Alright, alright.”
The defeated man wasn’t disheartened, never rushing things.
…
Meanwhile, underground, several fierce battles had already taken place. The heat of battle had passed, leaving two Ancient Dragons panting.
The spines of the Extinction Dragon and the blood stones of the Glittering Dragon scattered across the ground. For some reason, Jié Jié felt the Glittering Dragon before him seemed to enter a state of growing stronger with each fight.
During this time, they fought from the sleeping chamber to the upper lava hall, interspersed with several breaks.
At first, it was Jié Jié who couldn’t keep up and retreated upward, thinking the ever-escaping Glittering Dragon wouldn’t pursue relentlessly, possibly using the pause to leave.
But in reality, the broken doors of the sleeping chamber were boiled open by high temperatures, and Dì Mǔ Shén chased after, her eyes fierce, determined to decide superiority.
Her passion seemed boundless, her fighting skills growing more proficient, making Jié Jié increasingly hard to defend.
The amplification of Earth Pulse Energy was evident. As the master of the Gold Land of Earth Pulse, the Glittering Dragon clearly had close ties to the Earth Pulse.
And her current berserker-like form, along with the life energy within her transitioning from saturation to activation, made Jié Jié suspect she was advancing through battle.
The Black Thorns that broke off and embedded in the Glittering Dragon were directly melted by high temperatures, losing any chance of becoming ova.
Even worse, the nutrients were digested into her muscles, becoming part of her internal energy cycle.
After all, one method of nutrient delivery is “injection.”
Jié Jié ended up giving everything back to the Glittering Dragon, even throwing in some extras.
This time, he became the whetstone…
But as Jié Jié’s battle intent dissipated and rationality returned, he found no regret or wasted effort.
Apart from the victory of waking a recluse to face reality, the painting of the Glittering Dragon entwined around the rock pillar lingered in his mind.
But seeing the Mother Goddess charging forward again with a loud roar, Jié Jié had no room for such sensual fantasies, only the tragedy of being thrown onto a bed by a wealthy woman.
More importantly… she was getting it for free!
Amidst the honor and joy, what remained was the fear of being drained dry.
You must not come closer.
After fighting for so long, he hadn’t even managed to tear off her horns, let alone unlock the totems requiring her to kneel.
If they kept fighting, it was unclear who would collapse first from exhaustion.
At least the stamina infused into his muscles was dwindling, leaving him weak all over.
Flapping his wings, the Extinction Dragon met the standard outcome of failed predation.
The Glittering Dragon watched the retreating figure without hesitation, roaring victoriously, then returned to her sleeping chamber.
She submerged her body into the boiling liquid gold, adjusting her temperature.
Golden armor rehung on her body, the Glittering Dragon, who should have slept peacefully in the warm gold, woke up after a brief silence.
The surrounding Earth Pulse partially activated, supporting her activities anew.
With abundant energy, the Mother Goddess began redecorating her messy sleeping chamber.
In the end, she left the sleeping chamber, skillfully reshaping its golden door with gold, starting to decorate other parts of the Golden Land.
Jié Jié had already flown away from the glowing dome of the Golden Land, transforming back into his regular form on the barren ground, breathing heavily.
Glancing back at the Golden Land, the disgruntled Male Fire Dragon dragged his wounded body to begin hunting.
His sharp claws tore open the hard shells, burying his head into the flesh for a feast.
Raising his head from the carcass, Jié Jié licked his lips.
Generally, it wasn’t as tasty as the Glittering Dragon.
Looking back toward the direction of the Golden Land, although he inadvertently became the Glittering Dragon’s whetstone, as long as she didn’t leave, wasn’t Jié Jié gaining a stable training ground?
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west.”
Muttering these words, Jié Jié eyed the not-so-distant herd of Shell Dragons, flapped his wings, and chased after.
One more please.
