Witnessing the vigorous devouring of both man and dragon, Schuck immediately activated the scanning device.
“Massive quantities of energy value detected, matching with database… Match successful, 80% similarity with Dragon Blood Grass.”
Eh?
(Does that mean it’s edible?)
Beta licked its tongue and tried some Dragon Blood Grass. Then, it too joined the feeding frenzy.
In the colossal dragon’s cave, only Alpha was left standing there dumbfounded.
“I can’t eat anymore.”
Feeling satisfaction radiating from his body and soul, Bai Qi lay on the ground, looking blissful, clearly ready for a good sleep.
Although this timid dragon seemed unreliable, it sure had great taste.
It helps satiate hunger and induces sleep. It really works.
Observing Bai Qi’s satisfaction, the timid dragon lifted its head proudly, “I told you it was delicious, didn’t I? So, did I lie to you?”
Bai Qi signaled a thumbs up upon hearing this. He looked at the timid dragon, wagging its tail like a small puppy, seeking praise. He then sat up and said, “Indeed, it’s excellent. But where did you find these things?”
The timid dragon pointed towards the outside, “At the other side of the mountain. There’s lots of this grass. But there are lots of scary little bugs over there, so I usually gather several days of food supply at once.”
“Little bugs?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi became curious. The timid dragon was the only creature he had encountered. Moreover, he didn’t see any signs of other animals, let alone bugs.
According to the timid dragon, it looked like all creatures had gathered in other locations.
Could it be possible that all of them were scared away by this dragon’s might?
“Yes, they don’t have claws, but they are slimy all over. Able to glide very quickly, their mouths are filled with sharp teeth. They often spit at me. Such a nuisance.”
Remembering some ghastly memories, the timid dragon couldn’t help but shiver.
“Is it really that frightening?”
Seeing the timid dragon’s reaction, Bai Qi had some doubts.
This creature fainted at the sight of humans. If now it was just shivering, these bugs were probably just general worms.
Noticing Bai Qi’s doubtful gaze, the timid dragon felt wronged and directly stood up, “Yeah, if you don’t believe me, I can guide you there.”
“Fair enough, going straight to sleep after eating isn’t good for health.”
Bai Qi nodded in agreement, put Alpha and Husky back into Beast Control Space. He picked up the slime creature and climbed onto the dragon’s outstretched claw.
He wanted to experience the feeling of being a dragon knight. But after seeing the sharp scales on the dragon’s body, he gave up the idea.
Even though it was just a thought, Bai Qi had good reason to believe that those scales could easily cut most saddles, uh, I mean, dragon saddles.
So, one must have an iron butt to be a dragon knight!
With Bai Qi in its grip, the dragon flapped its wings and left the cave, flying towards the deep mountains.
Although it appeared weak and unreliable, the timid dragon demonstrated excellent control over its strength. Despite its fast speed, Bai Qi didn’t feel any wind pressure.
Because of this, Bai Qi had the time to take a good look at his surroundings.
Apart from the area where the timid dragon lived, all the rest was shrouded in poison mist, extending much further than Bai Qi expected.
Thankfully, they didn’t recklessly wander about earlier. Otherwise, he might have suffered the same fate as the scout bee.
As Bai Qi was lost in his thoughts, the timid dragon suddenly halted and pointed towards a valley not far away, “There, that’s the place.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi looked in the said direction. All he saw was lush grassland in the valley, similar to what the green dragon had brought back.
However, apart from the Dragon Blood Grass, the valley was crawling with enormous green serpents.
Each serpent was of gigantic size. Compared to them, the Steel Scaled Snake he had encountered during the occupational test looked rather lean.
Looking at the snake nest below, Bai Qi turned his stiff neck towards the dragon, “By little bugs, did you mean them?”
“Yeah, what else should I call them?”
The timid dragon looked at Bai Qi curiously as if he was staring at an idiot.
Okay, no claws, slimy all over, glide very fast, have sharp teeth, and like to spit.
He should have realized that the timid dragon was referring to snakes.
“Earlier, I only gathered enough for you guys to eat. I didn’t bring much, since we are here now, I will get some more.”
With that, the timid dragon lowered itself and darted towards the valley.
Hey, dude, could you drop me off first? I don’t want to be mistaken as the enemy and attacked.
Observing the serpents rising upon sensing the dragon’s approach, Bai Qi felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He pulled the slime creature to shield himself.
It’s payback time now, slime creature.
Ka-Plop, Ka-Plop?
Formed into an umbrella shape, the slime tilted its head in curiosity, not understanding Bai Qi’s intentions. However, it was already used to Bai Qi’s way of handling things and didn’t mind.
But it seemed there was more delicious food over there…
Quickly, Nicholas, the timid dragon, hovered over the valley where numerous giant snakes were gathering. Roaring angrily, his mighty dragon’s awe erupted. This invisible coercion stirred a wild wind in the valley, lifting some of the smaller snakes into the air and flinging them hard against the mountain walls, killing them instantly.
The power of a legend, finally revealed!
“Damn it, thank God this dragon has an inexplicable fear of humans. Otherwise, we’d be screwed.”
Watching as Nicholas resolved the snake problem with just a single roar, Bai Qi wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, determined to work on his relationship with the timid dragon.
A legendary creature, if brought out, would undoubtedly be worshiped as a guardian deity by the Federation.
In fact, the Federation did treat some ownerless legendary creatures this way.
If he could establish a good relationship with Nicholas now, wouldn’t he have a legendary creature backing him up once they got out?
Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but drooled a little.
Roar!
Just then, an angry roar echoed from the valley, pulling Bai Qi back from his daydream.
Turning towards the sound, he saw a giant python that was about the same size as Nicholas slithered out of the cave with a large tumor-like growth on its head that resembled a horn or a crown.
Shit, was this guy about to turn into a flood dragon?
The python clearly feared Nicholas, as it kept its head raised high, incessantly roaring at Nicholas.
“Um, should we leave first?”
Seeing the giant python appear, Nicholas suddenly got cold feet.
“Why? This guy should be no match for you, right?”
Although the python’s aura was impressive, Bai Qi could also sense that it hadn’t become a legendary creature yet.
He had seen two legendary creatures, he was capable of making this judgment.
“I just don’t want to fight!”
Saying this, Nicholas turned around and headed back to the dragon cave with Bai Qi without looking back.
Seeing Nicholas behave this way, Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled. But it wasn’t the time to ask questions, so he let Nicholas take him back to the dragon cave.
“I’m a bit tired today, and I want to rest. You can sleep anywhere you like.”
Saying this, Nicholas immediately went to a corner of the dragon cave and lay down to sleep.
“This guy, eat when he wants, sleep when he wants… Why am I a bit envious!”
Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed helplessly. Feeling tired, he shaped the slime monster into a bed and fell deep asleep too.
Before the Songyue Building.
At the lakeside stood an old man clad in white, a crescent badge fixed on his chest, looked at the Secret Realm Tower in front of him, lost in contemplation.
Meanwhile, a group of Beast Masters dressed in black were controlling their beasts to cleanse the lake of toxins.
“Um, Grandpa Xiao, do you think Bai Qi will be okay?”
Zhou Yan, unusually quiet, asked the old man softly.
Chief of the Moon Night Tower, Xiao Ding, currently the oldest legend in the Federation, unquestionably.
Xiao Ding laughed upon hearing this, “Oh, our little Yan’er is showing concern for others. Could you be falling in love?”
Zhou Yan rolled her eyes in response. “Grandpa Xiao, you know nothing. I’m going to be a female fighter like my teacher. Men would only slow me down!”
“Ha ha ha… You really are Leng Feifei’s disciple. Your comments are just as distinctive.”
Xiao Ding laughed heartily, then looked at the gate guarded by a group of people at the edge of the lake. “But this Bai Qi is really a troublemaker. No one has ever discovered a secret realm here in all these years, but he did at once. Things will surely be interesting in the coming days.”
At Xiao Ding’s words, Bai Qiucha and the others, who were also standing behind him, nodded in agreement.
If it’s about stirring up trouble, they were willing to crown Bai Qi as the ultimate!
“But his Breaking the Void talent isn’t bad. Even Luo Xiang couldn’t open the gateway this quickly. I wonder where Old Qin found such a gem.”
Remembering that Bai Qi was recommended by President Qin, Xiao Ding’s expression became strange.
“Lu Qing, Li Mu, have you figure out the gateway yet?”
At Xiao Ding’s words, Lu Qing and Li Mu froze for a moment, but quickly got back to work. One was carefully deciphering the runes on the gate, the other trying to communicate with his talent, attempting to break the gate’s prohibition directly.
I just told Bai Qi off, and now I’m losing face in front of Qing’er.
Bai Qi, you are indeed a worthy opponent!
Achoo!
In his sleep, Bai Qi suddenly sneezed loudly. Seeing Nicholas, who was sleeping soundly not far away, he casually pulled a few large leaves over him as a blanket and then fell back asleep.
He had forgotten to cover himself while sleeping, he hoped he wouldn’t catch a cold..
