Chapter 45: Target Dragon Island
The poor Taoist was determined to get the 'Dragon Spirit Grass', so he asked Christina in detail, "Where did this thing come from? You guys treasure it, there shouldn't be much of it, right?"
"Of course not!" Kristina said: "The origin of this grass is extraordinary. You know that our dragon tribe has its own cemetery, and all the dragons who are about to die will walk in before they die. The dead spirits and resentment are very strong, and some powerful and resentful dragons will transform into undead dragons after death. Most of the wise giant dragons, which have lived for over 10,000 years, become undead dragons, but wise giant dragons are extremely rare, with only about one in a hundred or so successfully transforming. Therefore, there are very few wise giant dragons that do not transform into undead dragons, and they are all kind-hearted and benevolent dragons. The thick magical elements in their bodies cannot be transformed into the dead air of the undead, nor can they dissipate quickly, so over time, this strange magical plant 'Dragon Spirit Grass' will grow on their heads."
"About how many of you are there?"
"I don't know! This is a secret that only the Dragon King of each system knows! But there should be one for each system, the exact number is unclear!"
"Is there also a bright system?"
"Of course, and because the White Dragon is the kindest, they have the most 'Dragon Spirit Grass'!"
"That's great!"
"Really? Don't think it's easy to get just because there are many. The old stubborn ones in our family cherish them so much?"
"Oh! What did you use 'Longlingcao' for?"
"Of course it's for healing, just like me, if I were to suffer a fatal injury, eating one of the water-based 'Dragon Spirit Grass' would bring me back to life! So this thing is also extremely precious to us!"
"Really? Your dragon clan can also suffer fatal injuries?" The poor Taoist was very skeptical.
"Of course we can lose, we're not invincible. Take your Gatz for example, if he had his current strength when we first met, I wouldn't have just lost, I would've been skinned alive!"
"Ah! Let me think for a moment!" The poor Taoist pondered how to ask the dragon tribe, and then thought of an idea. He looked at what the dragon tribe lacked and asked Christin: "What do you like most?"
"Gold coins and all sorts of magical items!" Kristina exclaimed in a daze: "They're all my favorites!"
"Can it be bought with money?"
"What are you buying? 'Longlingcao'? Don't dream about it, we can't sell it even if we wanted to, and even if we did, you couldn't afford it!"
"How much?" The poor Taoist is not giving up
"That king spent nearly 1 billion gold coins, not to mention various magical items, do you have any?"
"No!" The poor Taoist replied dejectedly: "Then have you ever thought of doing something but couldn't?"
"Can't we do it? Are you okay?" Christina asked disdainfully
"Want to try?" The poor Taoist thinks there's a way
"Ah~! Alright, it's not a secret anymore. We lost the leadership of the Dragon Emperor over 10 years ago, he went missing and we've been searching for him ever since. If you want to know his whereabouts, even if it's just where his body is, I think our elder can definitely give us the 'Dragon Spirit Grass'!
Kristina said with a smile: "But I advise you to forget about it, we've been searching for 10 years and still haven't got any news. Can you find him in such a short time?"
"Hmm! What does he look like? Is there anything special about him? Something that makes him stand out from other dragons at a glance?" The poor Daoist continued to ask.
"Ah! Indeed, his strength is too powerful, so his physical form is extremely large. The strength of our dragon clan is directly proportional to our physical form. The larger the physical form, the stronger the strength!"
"How big is it?"
"I heard that it's three times bigger than the usual dragon king!" Christina said, "Right, you haven't seen a dragon king before, have you? A dragon king is several times bigger than me."
Just as the poor Dao heard the words 'three times bigger than an ordinary dragon king', a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, someone seemed to have said the same thing before. He thought for a moment, and then remembered that the dwarf elder had said the same thing when introducing him to their 'Nine Sky Mysterious Iron Knife'. The knife was picked up from a dragon corpse, and when he introduced the dragon corpse, he also said the words 'three times bigger than an ordinary dragon king'!
"Haha!" The poor Taoist burst out laughing: "It's all come easily! Kristina~! I know the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor!"
"You're not kidding me, are you?!" Christina exclaimed in disbelief.
"I swear on the honor of my family and myself!" The poor monk said solemnly
"Really? Where?" Kristina knew things were serious and hastily asked
"I cannot tell you now, take us to Long Island, I will talk with your elder, after finishing the matter, I will give you another 'Water Spirit Pill' as a reward!"
"Alright... I trust you, don't betray me." Christina said seriously: "If you deceive me, you will be treated as an invader and killed by Elder Ge, and I will also be punished! Have you thought it through?"
"Alright! Thanks for your trust, don't worry, I won't play with my own life!"
"Alright! Let's go!" And with that, Christina led us two and a beast flying towards Dragon Island!
Just as I was negotiating terms with Christina, Wangdu experienced a bloody dusk!
Under the cover of my 'Fog Technique', two extremely skilled guards easily broke through the encirclement and arrived at our location where we were injured. Seeing the miserable state on the ground and the corpses hanging from the stone pillars, they panicked and carefully searched again to confirm that I had lost my trail before hastily returning to report back to Grandfather!
In the grand hall of the Long family, Grandfather sat in the main seat with a pale face. Father was sitting below him, constantly comforting Mother who was crying hysterically. The two guards kneeling on the ground were also in tears. Grandfather spoke up, "You can go and rest now, it's not your fault, I'm to blame for being too careless! I didn't think those damned Shi family would dare to make a move!"
"We protect the innocent, let the master take responsibility!" The two guards said
"Alright, when Lao Dao's news arrives, you all go too, and make amends for your mistakes!" Grandfather said.
"Yes!" They replied and went down to prepare.
At this time, the old servant beside Grandfather, that person called Old Knife, came back and said to Grandfather: "Reporting to Master, after investigating clearly, it was indeed done by the Black Dragon Society of the Shi Yuan family. There is still no news about Young Master, but the external headquarters of the Black Dragon Society had a large shipment arrive just now, with many people guarding the vehicle, all of whom are experts. Perhaps Young Master is hidden inside!"
"Rampage! I'll give you 3,000 men and horses. You destroy whichever stronghold you want, don't let a single one escape, especially bring my grandson back to me unharmed!" Grandfather said viciously.
"Yes!" His father replied and was about to leave.
"I'm going too!" Mom said: "I want them to know how fierce I am!"
"Alright! You be careful!" Grandpa said helplessly: "Lao Dao, you bring ten people to specifically protect the lady, not a single hair on her head can be harmed!"
"Yes, master!"
In a historic and sprawling estate outside the city, an eerie silence prevails. The scenery is picturesque, with breathtaking views, but this is the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society. Over 1,200 people reside here, all core members of the organization. Years of peaceful living have led to complacency in the once-airtight security forces. Many sentries were quietly taken out while still chatting and laughing.
Everything outside, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Ishihara Koinu, did not know. He had just returned from a distant place, exhausted and covered in dust, and was furious about a report. The content of the report almost made him go mad. The content of the report was that tonight's ambush assassination operation against Long Wu had failed, with four enemies escaping and their whereabouts unknown. Twenty-six of our men were killed and five injured, suffering heavy losses!
These fools! How can they use assassination to deal with the Dragon Family? No way, the Dragon Family will definitely retaliate, maybe they've already arrived. We should immediately strengthen our defenses. Thinking of this, he threw down the report, stood up and wanted to go out to make arrangements personally, but with a shrill alarm sound, followed by shouts of killing, screams, made him completely desperate. Based on his many years of military experience, he judged that he was surrounded by several times more enemies!
