Chapter 227 - 227 Provoking the Flood Dragon

227 Provoking the Flood Dragon

The flood dragon stopped the other demonic beasts from attacking. “Tell me, and maybe I can consider letting you go.”

Ye Xuan glanced at the other big beasts. “Ask them to leave first. What I want to talk about is very important. It’s not good to have random demonic beasts here.”

When Shen Changling heard this, he couldn’t help but secretly give a thumbs up. Ye Xuan was probably the first person to say something like this in the demonic beast’s lair.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but worry. Could they really walk out of the demonic beasts’ forest in one piece?

As expected, the moment Ye Xuan finished speaking, he felt several murderous gazes.

One of the tiger-type demonic beasts had a bad temper. It immediately glared with its eyes wide open, looking extremely fierce and terrifying.

“Who are you calling us random demonic beasts? Do you think I won’t tear you apart right now and feed you to the dogs?”

The other demonic beasts were also a little uncomfortable when they heard this, and they looked at Ye Xuan as if they wanted to skin him alive.

“Lord flood dragon, this kid is full of nonsense. Don’t believe him. He might be up to something bad again.”

“That’s right. Humans are the best at deceiving people, and they are despicable. If it were up to me, I’d say, don’t waste time talking nonsense with them. Just kill them.”

Ye Xuan didn’t care about these demonic beasts’ aggressive words. After all, he knew the importance of the Dragon Pearl, especially for a flood dragon with an impure bloodline.

A big opportunity was right in front of them. How could it just watch it leave?

“With my cultivation, even if I have any bad intentions, I’m afraid I can’t cause you any harm. I’m only saying this to keep it a secret.”

The other demonic beasts couldn’t help but roll their eyes. “Who knows what you’re up to? What if you launch a sneak attack?”

“Lord flood dragon, why are you afraid of this brat? If you want the pearl, we can just grab it for you. We have so many demonic beasts. Why are you afraid that we can’t get it?”

Seeing that the flood dragon cared so much about what Ye Xuan had and even to the point of holding back, some demonic beasts came up with this idea. Many demonic beasts agreed one after another.

Even the flood dragon was tempted. Why should it listen to a human?

“You guys can try and see if you can get the Dragon Pearl.”

Ye Xuan spoke with certainty, and his face was calm. “If it was that simple, I wouldn’t have dared to come here alone. Only I can solve the secret of this Dragon Pearl.”

The flood dragon looked at him suspiciously, as if it was considering the authenticity of his words and thinking about the performance of the Dragon Pearl just now.

Moreover, the Dragon Pearl he had seen before was indeed not like this. Even its aura was very weak. It was only for the bloodline in its body that it had felt an inexplicable sense of submission and respect.

Previously, it couldn’t even associate that thing with the Dragon Pearl. Now, the pearl in front of it had the shadow of the Dragon Pearl.

After thinking for a moment, it said, “Alright, you all leave first.”

“But…”

The other demonic beasts were unwilling. They wanted to say something but were interrupted by the flood dragon.

“You’re thinking too much. What can these two low-level humans do to me? They can’t hurt me at all.”

In the end, with the temptation of the Dragon Pearl, the flood dragon decided to believe Ye Xuan’s words. After all, the remaining power in the Dragon Pearl might be able to help it after thousands of years.

Most importantly, it had been stuck at the bottleneck for too long. The flood dragon guessed that it might be because of its bloodline, so it was greatly restricted.

Therefore, it was impatient to find a way to purify its bloodline as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too aggrieved to be stuck here for the rest of its life.

The demonic beasts left unwillingly. Before they left, they glared at Shen Changling fiercely as if they were asking why this human could stay here.

Ye Xuan gave them a reasonable answer.

“Because I was the one who brought him here.”

The demonic beasts were even more infuriated.

“Alright, now that they’ve left. You can tell me.”

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Actually, you should have noticed that the aura you sensed was no longer a living thing.”

The flood dragon nodded. “Well, then what about you? How did you get this Dragon Pearl?”

“This Dragon Pearl appeared after we scattered the dragon bones.”

The moment he finished speaking, the air was dead silent.

Shen Changling wanted to stop him, but he was too slow. A deep sense of helplessness emerged in his heart.

This time, he was really over!

The flood dragon’s eyes were wide open, and it didn’t come back to its senses for a long time. It seemed to be a little stunned by this huge piece of news.

Although it was also puzzled as to how a dead dragon could be resurrected, its aura could not be faked. It thought that it was a secret technique of the ancient dragon clan, so it did not think too much about it.

Even though the dragon was dead, it was once the overlord of ancient times and the most respected figure of all demonic beasts. But what did Ye Xuan just say?

The dragon bones were scattered!

To a flood dragon with the dragon clan bloodline, this was the most disrespectful act. Even those who stepped into the vicinity of the slumbering ground were mercilessly killed by it. Ye Xuan’s actions could be said to be jumping into a minefield.

Even if he had the Dragon Pearl, he would still die for such an action.

“What did you just say?”

Shen Changling quickly put on an awkward smile. “He was just joking. How could we do that? We’re not even enough to fill the gaps between the dragon bones’ teeth.”

The flood dragon’s eyes turned red. It didn’t believe Shen Changling’s words. A terrifying aura came, and his face turned pale. Blood even flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

Was this the strength of a flood dragon? It seemed that it had held back before. Looking at the furious flood dragon, Shen Changling felt that his life was in danger.
