Wu You and Lü Shengyang's conversation ranged from the current state of the government and the public to the martial arts world and sects, from martial arts affairs to the common people's misery, and then to some interesting anecdotes.

The conversation went on and on, and Ji Haoxuan kept chiming in.

Lü Shengyang was clearly a talkative person.

Wu Youze mostly acts as a listener.

I am particularly interested in what animals around the world are like, and whether there is anything special about them.

...

"You mean there was once a blood dragon that ravaged the Tiansha River?"

Upon hearing Lü Shengyang's description, Wu You suddenly stood up, his expression one of utter astonishment.

He had never seen the Tiansha River that flowed through the six states, nor did he have any idea where or how big the six states were.

But the words "blood dragon" really triggered his nerves.

Seeing Wu You's strong reaction, Lü Shengyang frowned.

The story of the blood python transforming into a dragon in the Black Cloud Swamp of Bingzhou and entering the Tiansha River to flow into the sea seems absurd.

But for someone who once held a high position, he knew it was true.

Although the Blood Dragon has been rarely heard from since it entered the sea, history is history, and even if there are exaggerations, it is still a fact.

However, some refugees from the islands occasionally mentioned this matter after arriving in the Central Plains.

This matter had already been widely circulated throughout the land of China, dating back to the eve of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Could it be that this young hero Wu's family has been living in seclusion for over two hundred years?

"Young Master Wu, please don't get excited. The so-called Blood Dragon Entering the Sea happened more than two hundred years ago. Since then, no such strange thing has been heard of in the world. There is no need to worry."

Lu Shengyang thought Wu You was particularly afraid of blood dragons or things like that.

"Um.."

Wu answered absentmindedly, then a thought struck him and he quickly asked.

"What does that blood dragon look like?"

Because the events of that year had a huge impact on the world, top experts surrounded and attacked the Blood Dragon in an attempt to stop it from running rampant.

Although they failed to kill the Blood Flood Dragon, a drawing survived.

Lü Shengyang had seen the illustrations in the palace history books.

Seeing that Wu You was so concerned about the Blood Dragon, he said, "Since you are so worried, young hero, then I will make a fool of myself."

He pulled a piece of charcoal from the already blazing fire and rolled it on the ground to extinguish it.

Lu Shengyang picked up the charcoal and gently sharpened it with his fingernail, making a simple charcoal pencil.

After a moment's thought, he quickly began to draw on a large rock to the side.

It must be said that Lü Shengyang's painting skills are superb.

The object being drawn was so detailed that even the scales were captured, and the speed was so fast that it only took a moment.

The shape of most of the blood dragon had already appeared on the boulder.

But. . . .

In Wu You's mind, another herd of wild alpacas seemed to gallop by.

This thing is called a Blood Dragon?

Wu You looked at the objects painted by Lü Shengyang from the left, right, up, and down.

It was a huge snake with a deformed head, a tumor on the top of its head, and a massive body.

Not only is it not good-looking, but more importantly, does it even have anything to do with the character "蛟" (jiao)?

If this thing is called Blood Dragon, then my God, my Ao Guang is a real dragon!

"Completed. Young Master Wu, please take a look. This is the Blood Dragon from the historical records and paintings, exactly the same as the one painted by the top master Xiang Zaixing back then."

Seeing that Wu You was staring blankly at his painting without reacting, Lü Shengyang shook the charcoal.

"Young hero? Young hero? What are your thoughts after reading this?"

Wu You: 。 。 。 。 。 。

"Um... Mr. Lü, are you sure you drew it correctly? Could you have misremembered something?"

A vein throbbed on Lü Shengyang's forehead.

Judging from Wu You's words, he was asking if he was too old and senile, with a poor memory due to dementia.

"Although I am not young, I am not so confused as to forget things."

Wu You waved his hand.

“Grandpa Lü, that’s not what I meant. I just feel that this thing doesn’t resemble a dragon at all.”

Lu Shengyang found it all very strange.

"Descriptions of dragons throughout history have been incredibly varied. Have you actually seen one?"

Wu You was speechless. He thought it wouldn't be appropriate to say that he had seen him before, and besides, Ao Guang was created by himself, which carried a strong personal bias.

Perhaps this is what the dragons of this world look like.

System notification: Information about an offspring has been detected. Please collect clues.

The system notification popped up very suddenly.

Wu You had a slightly uneasy feeling.

An offspring?

The name itself suggests it's not a good product, and the system never does anything unnecessary.

Tell him to pay attention to gathering clues; he'll most likely run into this so-called "blood dragon" eventually.

Either capture it for use as material or eliminate it.

Wu You felt that the latter was more likely.

He had wondered a long time ago why this bio-alchemy system existed.

Surely it wasn't some god who took pity on him and specially tailored this for him to reach the pinnacle of life.

To be honest, Wu You felt that there were many people in his family who were more pitiful than his own.

The Wu family's predicament at the time was at most temporary; there would definitely be a solution eventually, even without this system.

The emergence of the term "abortion" may have lifted a little bit of the veil of mystery surrounding the system.

Wait, something seems off.

Damn, Lu Shengyang just said that the "Blood Dragon" ravaged the Tiansha River and devoured countless people.

Many top experts attacked him but couldn't kill him.

Damn it, all I can do here right now is summon the life of the Dark Iron.

Even with the added power of demons and gods, it's still not enough.

Hopefully, the access level will be higher by then. If it's upgraded to Silver level, then Ao Guang should have a chance to kill that Blood Dragon.

Wu You had absolutely no intention of learning the martial arts of this world to deal with the Blood Dragon.

Although martial arts are indeed somewhat attractive.

But as Old Man Lu said, even top experts, and a whole group of them attacking together, couldn't kill that thing.

Not to mention how long it takes to learn martial arts, even if you master it, it won't be of any use.

Okay, okay, Wu You realized he was worrying unnecessarily for now, since the system hadn't even mentioned how to deal with the Blood Dragon yet.

...

Lu Shengyang stared blankly at Wu Shaoxia once again.

I couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that Young Master Wu has indeed been living in seclusion for too long, unable to find anyone to talk to.

I guess they spend most of their time in the deep mountains just spacing out.

Alas, how pitiful and lamentable.

...

Just then, Xiao Hei returned from outside, carrying a dead seal in its mouth.

Wu You had only ever processed chickens, ducks, and fish; he had never processed a seal the size of a whole deer.

However, this time it was Lü Shengyang who bravely took on the task of gutting, skinning, and removing the entrails.

When the two octopus legs are placed on the fire and the oil is rendered out...

Whether it's Wu You, Ji Haoxuan, or Lü Shengyang.

Everyone's attention was immediately focused on the grilled meat.

The old man and the child hadn't eaten anything decent all day and were starving.

Wu You had just exhausted a lot of energy and was now starving.

Lu Shengyang's barbecue skills were excellent; the meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, complemented by salt that Wu You had rummaged through his treasure chest-like backpack.

The three of them ate so much they almost swallowed their tongues.

Even Wu You himself was puzzled, as he had just killed someone and was vomiting profusely.

Now, however, he can eat large chunks of food as if nothing happened.
