"A dragon?" Helen laughed: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but from my limited knowledge, it seems that a giant dragon and this model are worlds apart. This model has a familiar dragon aura, but at most, it's just a sub-dragon magical beast. Dragon worship, oh ~~~ throughout history, only one great Bimon worship has had such glory, even the great war god Kampas only had three magical pets, and never had a dragon pet with the highest intelligence."

  "You're wrong," Fogelson Xu said. "I admit your memory isn't mistaken, but the dragon I'm talking about didn't come from the Western Continent, nor the Aegean Continent, nor the Cangshan Continent, nor the Golden Coast Continent. It comes from the legend of our own Silk Continent!"

  "What legend?" Helen was even more surprised.

  "Sir, look here." Jingyu pointed at some faint black dots above the tortoise shell. She had not spoken for a long time, intently studying the tortoise shell.

  "I saw it, and indeed it was the Book of Matrix." Old Xu nodded at Jingyu.

  "The erudite Oriental sage, please enlighten us, what makes you think this model is a dragon?" Helen listened with a puzzled expression.

  "Long before our ancestors arrived in the Western continent, we had a beautiful legend on this land: 6,000 years ago, a divine turtle emerged from the Luo River, carrying a matrix of Luo books on its back. This matrix of Luo books, sent by the divine turtle to our ancestors, was later deciphered by our clever ancestors, and the mysterious gate array method engraved on the bodies of the twelve golden men is the wisdom derived from it. And this divine turtle is the strongest divine beast in our Eastern legend, a direct descendant of the dragon's bloodline, named Ba Xia, with the powerful ability to move mountains." Old Man Xu said proudly: "The dragons in the East are not as common as those in the West, and they are the most mysterious beings. They never appear in the human world, nor do they participate in human conflicts. The Eastern dragon is still just a legend."

  "I understand. It's like a virgin's navel, everyone knows it exists, but nobody has ever seen it." Liu Zhen said.

  "This metaphor is a bit crude, but it's also quite apt." Jingyu let out a snort of laughter.

  "What do you mean?" Helen sensed something was off: "You're saying that Richard's model is the son of the dragon who presented your wisdom?"

  "Absolutely right." Old Xu nodded and smiled: "It's not tiring to talk to smart people. The mysterious text on the shell of this dragon turtle has been recorded in our historical records all along."

  "I really didn't expect that my Richard would actually have an Eastern legendary dragon as a magical pet." The little fox couldn't help but feel sweet, looking at the dumbfounded Liu Zhen with wide eyes, and the more she looked, the more she felt fond of him.

  "My dragon beast!" Liu was shocked and his eyes rolled wildly, with tears welling up, he flung himself onto the tortoise shell and began to wail again.

  "But you've said so much, what is it that you actually want to say?" Liu Zhen asked, turning his head to look at Old Man Xu.

  "The dragon is the longest-lived divine beast in Eastern mythology, and this model is its direct descendant, also living as long as heaven and earth." Fogersen. Xu adjusted his clothes and said solemnly: "And I, bearing the highest mission of the Emperor of the Cloud Qin Empire, am to find the elixir of immortality."

  "What do you want to do?" Liu Zhen was amused: "Can't you eat it? Unfortunately, this is a steel-like turtle shell. Your teeth can't bite it."

  "It doesn't have to be that way." Fogelson. Xu Hehe smiled and said: "According to our ancient Eastern legend, these dragon sons, as long as they live for 10,000 years, they can shed their shells and transform into dragons. After they shed their shells, five rib patterns will grow on the shell, each of which will contain a dragon dan that has been condensed from the essence of time. If you take the dragon dan, you can live as long as the sun and moon."

  "How old is this model?" Liu Zhen felt strange, this old man said so detailed and clear, isn't he afraid that he would turn his face and not recognize him? Even a fool can see that he has ideas about the model.

  "I've counted them, there are only four ribs! This dragon son still lacks a thousand years of days to become a dragon." Old Man Xu said with a mournful face.

  "Let's get straight to the point, what do you want to do?" Liu Zhen asked.

  "Uh... actually... I just want to know, is this model really a summoning of the Demon Lord or was it picked up by you on some deserted island?" Xu old man looked at Liu Zhen with trepidation.

  "Obis Laqi!" Liu Zhen was shocked and almost turned his face away, but he restrained himself: "What do you mean, Old Xu?"

  "I didn't mean any harm." Fogelson. Xu secretly hated this little guy to the point of toothache, but still put on his most skilled immortal pose: "I just want to say that if this model is dead, its flesh can also have a beneficial effect on longevity, if you don't mind, can you tell me where you found it? Can you take me there?"

  "We all have a share, everyone has a share!" Old Xu said excitedly.

  "It's been two or three months since it died, and even if there was meat, it would have rotted long ago." Liu Zhen shook his shoulders regretfully.

  "My goodness..." Old Xu was as if struck by five thunders, and with a stumble, he sat down on the deck, his face suddenly aging a lot.

  "But... " Liu Zhen shook his head slyly, "I did cut off a piece of meat and cured it into bacon. I've been carrying it with me all along, just one piece, mainly because the meat was really tender and fatty at the time, and we didn't bring enough dry rations."

  "Richard!!" Helen almost jumped up and grabbed Liu Zhen's ear, "How can you treat your own demon beast like this!! You...!!"

  "Helen!" Liu pretended to be very annoyed, wrapped his arms around Helen's waist and winked at her frantically.

  Helen struggled desperately, her fiery tail swishing back and forth, the more she struggled, the more disheveled she became.

  Xu old man sprinkled a pinch of powder on Helen's face, and Helen immediately stopped struggling and fell into a deep sleep.

  Liu Zhenhong stared at him with wide eyes, holding his breath. Liu Zhenhong's face showed signs of turning against him.

  "Dear Mr. Richard, rest assured, I just made her sleep, absolutely no side effects at all. This medicine is effective for two days, and after waking up, Miss Helen will be even more energetic than before. Our Fang's medicine is offered to emperors, absolutely non-toxic." Old Xu smiled: "Can we continue discussing what we were talking about earlier? Can you spare that piece of dragon meat for me?"

  "No problem! I've eaten this stuff before, doesn't matter to me. However..." Liu Zhenhong held a pair of chopsticks with an air of superiority, swinging his legs and gazing at Mr. Xu with a sly expression, his two fingers rapidly rubbing together.

  "Fogerson's face was clouded with greed."

  "Don't think about playing any tricks!" Liu Zhen's face twisted into a smile: "I still have a 'Crazy Battle Song', you've seen my 'Song and Martial Arts Double Excellence' abilities, what if I go crazy again and your subordinates launch an indiscriminate attack, ruining everyone's friendship?"

  If Bei Mong Xian Shen Kan Pas heard Liu Zhen's boastful words, he would have been infuriated to death.

  Xu Lao Tou was indeed frightened, to be honest, he had just thought of this in his heart.

  "Everything on this ship is for the sake of obtaining the elixir, what do you want just say it." Old Xu gritted his teeth and said: "The three hundred boys and girls on the ship are the most excellent servants, I can exchange them all with you at the price of the Aegean continent. Each one like them, after receiving the most perfect training in singing and dancing, language, martial arts, the price is absolutely over 100 gold coins, including the Pantaloon bear warriors, I can also give them to you!"

  Liu Zhenhong held Helen, who was in a coma, his head shaking like a rattle drum, and his legs trembling wildly.

  He is absolutely a blackmailer now.

  "I'll give you the Pearl Girl's Cong Yu as well!" Fogelson's eyes turned red, his usual composure nowhere to be seen.

  "Adult!" The beautiful shell of Jingyu was trembling slightly.

  "Shut up!" Old Xu's face was close to madness, "You are all my subordinates who followed me out to sea. I have the right to represent all of our people and decide the fate of using you in exchange for the elixir!"

  The panda warriors were all silently bowing their heads to manipulate the rudder and sail, but the loss on their faces was evident.

  The responsibility of exchanging oneself for the return of one's people weighs heavily on everyone, leaving them breathless.

  Liu Zhen was still shaking his head.

  "What do you want?" Fogerson asked, gritting his teeth. "A shell girl is the most beautiful woman in the East, do you know how rare a shell girl is among our people? You pig! She's an illusionist! What more do you want?"

  "Look at my stinky mouth!" Old Xu slapped himself again: "Sorry, Master of Sacrifice, I shouldn't have said that about you! I was wrong! Don't hold it against me, okay?"

  "Sir!" The clam girl's face was adorned with tears as bright as pearls, "I refuse your suggestion, I am a human! Not merchandise! If you insist on doing so, I would rather disappear in this blue sea water!"

  "It's unnecessary!" Liu Zhenhong waved his hand; "A forced melon is not sweet! I won't be shameless enough to occupy an innocent girl's body to achieve my own goals!"

  For this remark, Jingyu stared at Liu Zhen in a daze for a long time, feeling as if she had re-recognized someone.

  "What do you want?" Old Man Xu looked at himself and said: "You won't take a liking to me, will you? I'm just an old bone! No use at all! Ah, yes, that mermaid princess from the Western Sea Clan, ah, ah, ah! I'll give her to you too. The most beautiful woman of the Western Sea Clan, it's said that after sleeping with the Virgin Mermaid, one might obtain the mysterious Domain Boundary power. You won't refuse, will you?"

  "That mermaid was caught by me, originally my slave, what does it have to do with you?" Liu Zhen's nose snorted in disdain, looking up at the floating clouds in the sky, with an air of "all fame and wealth are worthless". In fact, his heart was already trembling with excitement. **** grandma, so many servants, and warriors, hahaha... Liu Zhen wanted to laugh but didn't dare, it was suffocatingly painful.

  "Grandfather!" Fogelson, Xu nearly went crazy, "What do you want? What else do you want? There's no money on this boat, we're just travelers, this trip is almost over, we don't have any money to give you!!"

  "I want your ring, that can summon the Golden Man... that Blood Jade Ring!" Liu's fox tail finally appeared.

  "The... old man's expression turned gloomy, "This is the last treasure of our clan, you... even if you said it again, you wouldn't be able to lift the seal's curse, it would be useless..."

  "I can learn, I'm a born soul singer!" Liu Zhenhong sneered: "Those few lines of incantations, just teach me, it's a matter of minutes."

  "No way!" Old Xu flatly refused, his decisiveness left Liu stunned for a moment.

  "Hmph......" Liu Zhenhong sneered, "Your words are actually too full of nonsense, I really can't believe your abilities. Can you really make decisions? Forget it, the transaction is cancelled! Take me back to the Donau Great Wilderness, I'll give you time, go find the elixir of immortality slowly!"

  "Give me a little more time, I'll think about it again!" Fogelson's face was in agony as he struggled with the pros and cons.

  "Alright!" Liu Zhen said: "We haven't escaped the influence of the Hai tribe yet, and whether we can return is still a problem. There's enough time for you to consider it!"

  "You should swap bodies with the miss in your arms, you're not even a match! You're simply the worst Fox!" Old Xu panted awkwardly, glaring at Liu Zhen with resentment.

  "Thank you for your compliment!" Liu Zhenhong hung a string of black dried meat on his thumb, pointing it high, "You still fulfill your promise and then come to talk about conditions with me! I don't feel your sincerity anywhere! Don't irritate my patience, if not, I'll throw this dried meat into the sea to feed the turtles!"

  "Wait..." Old Xu hastily waved his hand, "I'll definitely think of a way! I'll definitely think of a way! I'll let you know my sincerity, give me some time, let me consider it!"

  "Is there a cabin in the ship? I want to take a nap." Liu Zhen was taken aback and smiled.

  "Lead the way for our noble guest." Old Xu gave the order to the clam girl with a tired face.

  As Liu Zhenhong disappeared into the cabin, a look of intense concentration flashed across Fokker's face.

  This piglet!

  Fogerson's face twisted in an instant.

  This old man is really going back on his word! Liu Zhen was following Jingyu's silent and helpless footsteps with a nervous heart, as if he had eighteen buckets in his mind, turning over and over.

  In his arms was Helen, who had fallen asleep, and in his hands were dried and salted rabbit meat and large salted fish.

  That non-existent dragon meat...
