Chapter 986: Black Flood Dragon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On Hong Dali’s side.
The lake was huge. It would take a normal warrior two days just to swim to the other side.
Such a huge lake on Faerie Star should be inhabited by all kinds of fishes and animals. However, the entire lake looked eerily quiet right now.
As the saying goes, there must be a reason behind every special event. All signs suggested that this lake must have its hidden secrets.
…
Inside the spacecraft that Razer took.
“Hong Dali and the rest really went into Lake Ze An!” Once he saw Hong Dali and the rest jumping in, the always calm Razer was losing his cool. “The hundreds of kilometers around Lake Ze An have always been a restricted area in the past centuries! This Hong Dali went in just like that?”
He was so worried because there lived the cruelest and most violent creature in the entire area. A Black Flood Dragon!
All kinds of strange beasts inhabited the Faerie Star. Powerful beasts often lived in the mountains and below the lakes! These beasts were so powerful. Some of them even possessed entry Stellar-level strengths! They usually had their own territory and rarely ventured out to harm others. However, if someone invaded their territory…
Since this Lake Ze An was known as a restricted area, there was, as expected, a wildly powerful beast present!
Stellar-level strength beast. Black Flood Dragon!
This Black Flood Dragon was almost the cruelest one in its strength category, the Stellar-level beasts. It loved to stir up huge storms and tidal waves. Any creatures who dared to appear near the entire lake would eventually become its meal!
In the past, countless Black-level Honorary Aristocrats unintentionally entered its territory and were swallowed whole.
Rare treasures were often produced in the water. They could easily grant tens of attribute point boosts if consumed. If it were not for the presence of this Black Flood Dragon, Lake Ze An would probably be looted clean by warriors now.
And now, the silence on the surface of the lake became increasingly eerie.
“They’ve entered Lake Ze An. Will they be eaten by the Black Flood Dragon?” Fang said quietly.
“No matter what happens, this thing just became a whole lot more troublesome.” Razer said slowly, “If they really get eaten by the Black Flood Dragon, we won’t be able to find the corpses. That’ll complicate things for us. However, we have a specific location on them now. As long as we surround this Lake Ze An, we can sit and wait for them to come out. If they don’t show up after a few days, then we’ll have to look for them ourselves in the water.”
“Hm, that’s the only way.” Fang nodded.
Gahon touched his chin and said, “Speaking of which, this Black Flood Dragon is awfully quiet today. Maybe it’s no longer violent now and became a kind baby instead?”
“Kind baby?” Razer’s eyes turned cold and emotionless. “Bullshit!”
“Black Flood Dragon. Black Flood Dragon appeared!” Fang suddenly yelled!
As expected, almost in perfect rhythm with what he said, the weather suddenly changed above Lake Ze An.
…
Lake Ze An.
An enormous shadow appeared from below the water. With a loud splash, the huge head of the Black Flood Dragon appeared above the lake!
Its huge head was almost twenty meters in diameter, and it was fully above the water now. There were three bulges on its forehead. One of them extended forward while the other two extended backward. The neck of the Black Flood Dragon shown above the water level was already over 300 meters long. Its girth was a full twenty meters, and it got thicker further down the body. As for how much more of its body was concealed underwater? Nobody could fathom a guess.
Hong Dali and the rest in the water had no clue about the presence of the Black Flood Dragon. However, as Hong Dali was controlling the flow of the water, he suddenly realized that the speed of the water rapidly increased!
“Eh? What’s going on?” Hong Dali glanced around. He was curious. Why were there such rapid undercurrents in this lake?
“Young Master, there’s a shadow in front. I can’t tell what it is.” Levis looked around. He suddenly discovered a shadow over twenty meters in width stood in the lake.
“Is it some animal?” Hong Dali was instantly happy when he saw the thing.
Animals in the water must be my friend too. Let’s play together! Play together!
Just as Hong Dali was feeling happy, the huge Black Flood Dragon in Lake Ze An suddenly let out a loud roar and spit out a huge cloud of thick fog. Everything changed. Dark clouds gathered and a violent thunderstorm arrived. Giant waves began to form with the Black Flood Dragon at the center of it all.
In the distance, those Honorary Aristocrats chasing after Hong Dali and the rest were instantly stunned when they saw the Black Flood Dragon. They screamed, “Oh my god. It’s the Black Flood Dragon. That Stellar-level beast, Black Flood Dragon! Everyone, retreat! Retreat!”
Everyone backed off and looked at the huge gaping mouth of the Black Flood Dragon. Its fangs were at least one meter long each. They were all terrified, yet did not move a single muscle.
The Black Flood Dragon glanced at the Honorary Aristocrats with its cold, golden-black eyes. It hissed and flicked its tongue before biting down into the water!
That bite from the Black Flood Dragon was so forceful that it created giant waves over ten meters tall. The entire lake was instantly filled with huge violent ripples.
“Oh my god. Was Hong Dali eaten by the Black Flood Dragon?!” On land, the Honorary Aristocrats stared in bewilderment at the lake that was finally settling down. They were shaken to their cores.
That scene they just witnessed was too terrifying. It was indeed a Stellar-level beast. The Black Flood Dragon was not huge in size. In fact, it was considered small for a Stellar-level beast, as their lengths were usually measured in kilometers.
However, why would this place become a forbidden, restricted area? That was because of the violent and cruel nature of the Black Flood Dragon.
It killed everyone it saw. No matter what you came for, as long as you dared to enter its territory, it would dare to kill you.
With its Stellar-level strength, even the Thirteen Top Operatives under the Dimu Star Sector High Nobles did not dare to fight against it. After all, nobody could really outmatch it in the water.
“What should we do now?” The Honorary Aristocrats looked at one another once they realized that Hong Dali was probably already gone. “Should we leave? Or wait?”
“Wait, of course!” A Black and White-level Double Aristocrat said quietly, “We need to catch a turtle in the jar. No matter whether Hong Dali lives or dies, he is here now. There’s a bounty of 100 billion Dimu Dollars. How can we return so easily without seeing the final result?”
Most agreed with his statement. Hence, everyone gathered around Lake Ze An and began their long wait.
That was the power of a bounty worth 100 billion Dimu Dollars.
…
On the mountain where the Green Phoenix was, inside the Green Phoenix’s cave.
“That child Hong Dali went into Lake Ze An?” Green Phoenix suddenly opened her eyes and looked outside the cave.
Green Phoenix was worried about Hong Dali. After all, Hong Dali was a kind person who had a real connection with her. Furthermore, her child Acka was also by Hong Dali’s side. Now that Hong Dali went to Lake Ze An…
That Black Flood Dragon was a creature that gave even Green Phoenix a headache.
Although it was no match for Green Phoenix, she was, after all, the ruler of Faerie Star. She could not assist the humans in murdering her kind. Therefore, she always had one eye closed. But now…
“Hope Hong Dali is lucky.” Green Phoenix sighed. “I can’t see into his future. If I interfere blindly, it may not turn out well. Sigh, I’m just worried about that kid Acka…”
…
Lake Ze An, underwater.
Hong Dali slowly opened his eyes. He checked his body and realized that he was fine. He instantly laughed and said, “Haha, we didn’t die. Aiyaya, which elder brother is this? Looks like he spared us some mercy.”
It was no wonder Hong Dali said that.
When the Black Flood Dragon was about to bite down, Hong Dali first felt numb. Even Acka, who steadily sat on Hong Dali’s head, began to chirp away. In the end, just when Black Flood Dragon was about to bite them, it suddenly seemed to have felt something and changed the bite to swallow instead. Hence, Hong Dali and the rest were now actually in the Black Flood Dragon’s belly.
“Is everyone okay?” Hong Dali looked around. It was dark everywhere with nothing visible.
“I’m fine.” That was Levis’s voice.
“Me too.” That was Li Yang.
“No problems yet.” Blood Demon answered.
“I, I’m alright too.” Ye Huayun was a little emotional. “Thank you for caring, Young Master.”
“Haha, alright, everyone is okay!” Hong Dali laughed and said, “Who has an illumination device? Check out the surroundings! Aiyaya, this elder brother took us all inside his belly. We can relax now and take a good nap. Haha!”
Only Hong Dali could think of taking a nap first in this situation.
“Chirp chirp!” Soon, a faint blue glow was emitted from Acka, who was lying on top of Hong Dali’s head.
Acka was like a night pearl. It was glowing a faint blue that illuminated the surroundings.
Hong Dali and the rest were probably in somewhere like an esophagus. Everything around was soft but slightly slimy. The beast was probably laying down flat now. Otherwise, Hong Dali and the rest would have probably slid down into its stomach by now.
Just as everyone was trying to figure out what the beast was, Hong Dali thought for a while and suddenly snapped his fingers. “Soul connection!”
As he activated his ability to communicate with animals, a rough, violent voice sounded—
“Humans. I spared your lives and didn’t eat you this time. Now, hurry up and leave!”
