Long Shiyan slept very soundly. When she woke up, her teammates were already prepared to depart, leaving her as the only one left to get ready. But this wasnât a problem for her. She simply washed up, gnawed on a steamed bun, and began another new day.
The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the journey was pleasant. It was almost noon, and these few talented folks stopped traveling. As usual, they ate barbecued meat and rested around the bonfire.
This morning was almost the same as the previous ones. The jungle was quiet, not even a single magical beast could be heard. It was even more silent than before.
When everyone thought that they could take a rest, a dragonâs roar suddenly resounded. At the same time, the whole world seemed to be trembling. Countless beasts suddenly cried out one after the other. The birds screeched and the wolves howled. The sounds of animal cries spread throughout the entire forest.
In this place, the five peopleâs expressions became very unsightly.
Long Shiyan immediately ordered, âWe have to leave.â
They exchanged gazes and then followed her orders to return. Zi Linglong ran and said, âElder Sister, what happened? Where did the dragonâs roar come from? Judging by how powerful its pressure is, itâs at least a ninth-level magical beast.â
âYoung lady, ninth-level magical beasts have unexpectedly appeared in the inner clearing. Considering how bad it turned out for us during the last encounter with the ant wave, this time we mightâŠâ Brandsâs expression was solemn; he swore angrily as he spoke. Under Long Shiyanâs wind magic acceleration, their movements werenât slow.
âAs the messenger of the Beast God, I must obey his will and overcome this challenge. Furthermore, dragons arenât that formidable. After all, they are not the dragons from Dragon Island,â Chris replied.
The call of the dragon was getting louder and louder. The skies were filled with thunder and lightning, and the dragonâs roar accompanied the thunder. It was like the grandeur of the heavens and the earth, completely penetrating through their mental defense. An inexplicable feeling of fear rose within their hearts.
âRoarâŠâŠâ
Another dragonâs roar suddenly exploded in their ears, and at the same time, a golden dragon burst out from the mountain to their left. Countless gravel debris immediately fell upon them.
At this time, a golden dragon was flying in the distance as it danced in the air together with another dragon, no! They were fighting each other. One wielded fierce thunder and lightning while the other used flames. Below them was the Magical Beast Forest and countless magical beasts that tried to escape.
The earth vibrated and the forest was ruined.
It was as if the whole world became akin to the purgatory.
Long Shiyan and others were buried under gravel and mud. But because of this, they could escape from the dragonâs flames. After fighting for a long time, the dragons stopped. One dropped to the ground and died while the other dragon was full of scars. Soon, it disappeared.
After a long while, Long Shiyan broke out of the layer of dirt. Observing the current situation, she noticed that the three men and Zi Linglong were still buried under the earth and thus werenât visible.
Long Shiyan was in a sorry state. She dragged her body out and moved toward a certain position, step by step. Then she immediately used the wind magic to drill a hole in the soil. After a while, she dug out one person and inspected the personâs body. It was Zi Linglong.
She was still breathing but currently in a coma.
Fortunately, they werenât buried too deeply. They would be fine even if they couldnât breathe for a while, but the longer they didnât breathe, the closer to death they would be. Long Shiyan temporarily helped them settle down. Afterward, she went to the golden dragon and observed it seriously.
That was right. It was a Shen Long, a Chinese dragon.
System Qian Qian didnât know where it came from as she stared at the golden dragon. âIt fell to its death! But itâs still a treasure. Its realm is roughly within the God domain, yet I donât know where it came from. After coming across this situation, which is clearly the result of bad luck, are you still not convinced that you are the so-called heaven defier?â
Long Shiyan fell silent.
âBut while the other dragon suffered from serious injuries, it was also pregnant. I donât think it will live for much longer. Perhaps it sacrificed its life to protect its child.â System Qian Qian sighed with lament.
âFirst, wait a moment!â Long Shiyan raised her hand to signal for the system to pause. âYou said it was pregnant? Furthermore, it wonât live long?â
âYes.â
âHow long will it last?â
âApproximately two months!â
Long Shiyanâs expression shifted greatly. âWhich direction did it fly away?â
âSoutheast!â
Long Shiyan burst into a sigh of relief and could not help but laugh a few times. She said, âIf I didnât guess incorrectly, then the child in the dragonâs belly should be Long Aotianâs future pet dragon.â
System Qian Qian was flabbergasted, but it soon clearly understood her words.
Long He, Long Aotainâs pet, was Long Aotianâs sworn younger brother. Unlike other stallion novels, the original book was very strange since the protagonistâs pet was not a female character. Generally, in most harem stallion novels, no matter what pet appears, it would become a stunning beauty.
The character, Long He, had a great influence on Long Aotian. He was one of Long Aotianâs capable helpers and his closest brother. They had long been together from the beginning until they entered the realm of gods. Later, he was killed by the Radiant God in order to protect Long Aotian.
In short, his life was quite tragic.
Of course, Long He had always wanted to find his own family, including his father, but this could never be achieved. His parents had already passed away and could only live on within his memories.
Long Shiyan had always regarded the dragon to be a threat, but she never really expected for this to happen. Even though she had never met Long He, she met his mother, who had already stirred up many troubles for her.
System Qian Qian listened to her analysis and couldnât help but say, âItâs obvious. The will of the world has begun to rebel. Those who were good to Long Aotian in the original book will, of course, want to kill you intentionally or otherwise. This is still not the worst that can happen. Maybe Long Aotian already knows that you are his enemy.â
Long Shiyan was astonished. âWhat do you mean?â
No matter what, she was still Long Aotianâs little sister.
âI donât know, but I always feel a little uneasy these days. You have to be careful. You should be aware that the mother of Long Aotianâs younger brother will come to inconvenience you.â
The conversation between the two soon ended. Long Shiyan stared at the dragonâs corpse, thinking about how to take it away. But soon, countless beastsâ roars came from afar. In addition, more and more beasts hurried to get closer.
Long Shiyan was baffled. Was the dead dragon going to stir up some trouble? System Qian Qianâs next words immediately plunged her mood into the all-time low. âHost, this isnât good. Many powerful magical beasts are coming our way. If you continue to stay here, you will be in danger.â
âWhy are they coming?â Long Shiyan submerged into her thoughts.
âNo matter what the reason, you have to hurry to escape now,â System Qian Qian urged.
âEscape? What about Linglong and the others?â Long Shiyan looked at the four who were still unconscious.
âHost cannot save them. We have to hurry and leave, or we really will die. Although I know that you canât bear to leave them, there is no way to save them right now. As long as you live, there is hope. Even if they die, you can resurrect them in the future,â System Qian Qian painstakingly persuaded.
Long Shiyan opened her eyes and lowered her head. She clenched her small fists. She looked up into the distance, her gaze seeming able to penetrate through the layers of trees and forests. Looking at the group of magical beasts rushing to her direction, she mumbled, âOut of the question!â
âIf I abandon my teammates and flee alone, then even if I resurrect them, my heart will not be able to settle down,â she whispered and glared at the system. âI will not abandon them. Tell me the strength of those magical beasts.â
âDonât be crazy! There are ninth-level magical beasts. There are even Saint magical beasts mixed in the horde. In front of the group of magical beasts, you are nothing! Even if the members of your entire Holy Spirit Magic School were here, it would still be hard to stop them. Hurry up and leave!â
âHow long will it take for them to get here? Why are they coming in hordes? There must be a reason for the magical beastsâ insurrection, right?â Long Shiyan was not flustered as she searched for a breakthrough.
System Qian Qian stared blankly. She closed her eyes and whispered with helplessness, âThe fastest that the magical beasts could get here is less than an hour. As for the reason for the insurrection of magical beasts, itâs because of the God-level magical beastâs corpse. They are rushing over here to devour it. Even the Saint-level magical beasts canât resist this temptation.â
âHalf an hourâŠâ Long Shiyan looked down and thought about it. âIn other words, if I just get rid of the dragonâs corpse, Linglong and the others will be safe.â
âThatâs true, but the dragon is so big. Can you really drag it away? I believe that it is better to drag the four away to save energy. However, there may not be enough time, so you either have to give up or wake them up quickly. But judging by their condition, they most likely wonât be waking up anytime soon,â System Qian Qian said.
âItâs not impossible! As long as I break the dragonâs body into smaller pieces and put them into the spatial ring, I can leave easily leave.â Long Shiyan quickly took out her two swords. She tried swinging one against the dragonâs body, but unfortunately, it had no effect.
She refused to believe that her efforts were useless and continued to increase the intensity of her attacks using both of her swords. But her attacks still had no effect.
âItâs useless. With the hostâs current strength, itâs impossible to break the defense of a God-level magical beast. If we could enter the storage space, then we could survive. However, itâs obviously not working and soon, you will die,â System Qian Qian exclaimed.
Long Shiyan gritted her teeth and did not listen to the systemâs words. She went to the dragonâs corpse and smashed against it using her swords. The swordâs blade was able to pierce the skin, but it could only go that far.
She glanced at where Zi Linglong and others were and gritted her teeth. She quickly ran over, relocated the four to a safer position, and then fed them some pills. She returned to the dragon and continued to attack it in agitation.
Then, she used a knife to cut her own wrist and sprinkled her blood around the dragonâs corpse. She located a few flowers and sprinkled her blood on them. Suddenly, a strange aroma began to pervade all around.
This was to conceal the dragonâs bloody smell.
Afterward, she plunged her entire body into the dragonâs wounds. She constantly tampered with its body by crawling inside.
When System Qian Qian saw her doing this, she quickly understood what Long Shiyan was doing. She wanted to stop her, but no words came out of her mouth. She couldnât change Long Shiyanâs decision.
After Long Shiyan emerged from the carcass, she reeked with blood. She looked at System Qian Qian and said, âYou stay here. Look after Linglong and try to calm her down later. Donât let her do anything reckless.â
System Qian Qian wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh and reply, âDonât die, we still have missions to complete.â
âRest assured. You stay here. When they awaken, rush them back to the school. I will remain in the forest until they are away from harm.â Long Shiyan turned around. Holding the dragonâs spleen, she soon disappeared into the jungle.
