Chapter 244: White Orchid Rain Festival (Twenty-six)

The Dragon Lord obviously noticed that something was wrong with the Dragon Envoy and the other party's scrutiny. After the black dragon shadow was silent for a moment, a cold voice swept up a gust of wind, "What? Are you unhappy to see me?"

These words were clearly addressed to the four humanoids, but in reality the only person being questioned was the Dragon User.

The Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President remained silent and did not look up. They did not want to expose themselves before they had a clear understanding of the situation.

The teenager was still young, and would occasionally act like a spoiled child in front of the Dragon Envoy because he was used to the other's care. However, when facing the Dragon Lord, he felt only awe in his heart and dared not say much. He could only look at the Dragon Envoy with eyes asking for help.

"Dragon Lord, I misunderstood. It was just a little unexpected." The Dragon Envoy bowed his head respectfully. "After all, this is not quite the same as what you had planned."

"oh?"

A single syllable revealed the Dragon Lord's unhappy mood at the moment.

"Didn't the Dragon Lord say after that incident?" The Dragon Envoy tentatively asked, "Wouldn't he wait until everything is settled, find a place without humans, and then wake us up, so that we can live a secluded life without any troubles?"

When it comes to this topic, the dragon envoy seems very serious, as if the dragon clan has suffered losses on this point before, so now they have to be more cautious.

The black dragon shadow was hovering in the air, and because it was moving very fast, the Gambler's Guild President could not see the other party's expression at all. However, even if the other party did not move so fast, he thought he could not read the dragon's expression. But just by listening to the other party's voice, he knew that the other party was very dissatisfied with the question asked by the Dragon Envoy.

"I was too naive back then, thinking I could wait until everything was settled."

Her cold voice always seemed familiar to the Gambler's Guild President for some reason. It was not the sound quality or timbre, but the same cold temperament that he had only seen in one person.

In the moment when the Gambler's Guild President was stunned, the Dragon Lord gave the Dragon Envoy an even colder answer, "In fact, it is because of the bad nature of human beings that they will never coexist peacefully with us. If this is the case, why should we be so timid? We were defeated so miserably last time. This time, we must not only take revenge, but also take back the territory that originally belonged to us, and try on them what humans did to us..."

The Gambler's Guild President understood these few short sentences. It seemed that the conflict between the two ethnic groups was very deep. The previous Dragon Lord had decided to retreat and stay away, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to confront them head-on.

The Gambler's Guild President was not very interested in the plot that had nothing to do with the main quest or the dungeon quest, so he turned his attention back to the Dragon Envoy.

However, he found that the other party seemed to strongly disagree with the Dragon Lord's method, but for some reason did not say it directly. After digesting it for a moment, he raised the second question.

"What about the Saint?"

The familiar word made the Corpse Drivers' and Gamblers' Guild leaders prick up their ears. He said that Dragon Lord sounded like the head of the entire dragon clan and should not be a random NPC.

Now it seems that the dragon lord in front of him is most likely the dragon god in the plot.

But I always feel like something is not right.

The Gambler's Guild President forgot for a moment that he needed to hide his identity, and simply raised his head to look carefully at the black dragon shadow.

Anyway, anything related to the word "God" in the plot usually speaks and acts with a compassionate temperament, or to put it another way, they all have a "good" side.

But the Dragon Lord in front of him did not show any such behavior. Instead, he seemed to be looking forward to it. There was a fight between the two tribes, and even when he heard the Dragon Envoy mention the word "Saint", his face revealed naked disgust.

"She is human after all."

After a while, the Dragon Lord spoke.

"And she has actually always been on the side of humans and never considered us at all. Why should we consider her..."

The black dragon shadow moved even faster. When it said these words, its tail stirred up even more dust, and it seemed very dissatisfied.

After hearing what the other party said, the Dragon Envoy frowned and put one hand behind his back, wondering what he was trying to do. However, the next second the Dragon Lord had already noticed the other party's little action.

The Gambler's Guild President watched helplessly as something emerged from the black dragon shadow and entered the Dragon Envoy's body at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the other party's tense expression became confused in an instant.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," the Dragon Lord spoke at the right time, swishing his long tail as if to attract the attention of the other tigers, "I called you here because I have something for you to do."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the dragon envoy, who had a puzzled look on his face just now, like an obedient puppet, put down his hands that were originally behind his back and walked towards the Dragon Lord in a daze.

I don't know if Qingqing and the Corpse Drivers' Guild President noticed it, but the Gambler's Guild President saw it very clearly. There seemed to be a black aura spreading over the Dragon Envoy's body, which was similar to the black shadow on the Dragon Lord's body, and the other party seemed to be under control.

The Gambler's Guild President was wondering whether this situation had already occurred or had suddenly changed after they entered the pawnshop. However, he did not actually see the eldest lady or the first president, so he was unsure of the situation.

But before he could come up with anything, he felt a scrutinizing gaze falling on him.

Although he couldn't even see the entire dragon shadow's body clearly, let alone the other party's eyes, he could clearly feel that the Dragon God seemed to be looking at him.

Is it because I stared at the other person for too long that I aroused his suspicion?

Or did I reveal a flaw somewhere?

The Gambler Guild President forced himself to calm down, wondering what to do if he was really discovered and the mission failed?

But in just a moment, the gaze was withdrawn.

The Gambler's Guild President only saw the Dragon Lord explaining something to the Dragon Envoy who was already standing beside him. After the latter heard it, there seemed to be some struggle in his eyes, but he finally calmed down.

"Go ahead and don't let me down."

"yes."

The dragon envoy simply responded with one word, then turned around and prepared to leave.

The Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President had already identified the main targets of their mission this time, so how could they let the other party leave at this time? However, just as they raised their feet to chase after them, everything in front of them suddenly went dark.

"Didn't they only pray for rain?" The Workers' Guild President found something strange when he heard the young lady's description. "Why are there all kinds of wishes? Are they treating the Dragon God like a living Bodhisattva?"

After all, their plot synopsis did not mention the fact that the Dragon God could fulfill so many prayers.

"And isn't it said that the object of prayer is the Dragon God? Why did all those wishes representing the red thread pierce into the body of the Saint?"

Nan Huan finally recovered for a while, but her body still retained the unbearable pain she had just experienced from the saint. She shook her head tiredly.

President Alice had a new idea. She looked at the residents coming in and out of the Dragon God Temple and said, "Do you think the owner of the pawn ticket is among these people? After all, I think there is not much difference between praying and making a wish at a pawn shop."

Bei Xi disagreed. "It shouldn't be. After all, the pawnshop's rules are essentially equal exchange, or using a higher value to exchange for a wish of lesser value. For ordinary people, this wish is not worth it. It's better to come here and just kneel down and say a few words. Besides, they don't have anything to exchange."

"The pawnshop believes that the exchange value of the Gambler Guild President staying in the pawnshop forever is high, based on the fact that the other party is a player. In this way, in the real world, the Gambler Guild President is equivalent to being removed from the list, but the residents who originally lived in this copy do not have such value."

Although this statement is a bit too capitalistic, it is the truth. Moreover, if these residents really have something of value that can be exchanged, they would not come here to try to get something for nothing.

After saying this, the young lady didn't know what had happened and she staggered and fell backwards uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Bei Xi was quick to act and pulled the person back, "Why are you..."

Before she finished speaking, she realized that the problem did not seem to be with Nan Huan himself.

"Yizhihua, what's wrong with you?"

Maintaining one foot on the ground and the other raised up, with Bei Xi holding his waist, the posture was really uncomfortable. But Nan Huan noticed something wrong at the back of his neck, and he shouted before he could stand still.

President Workers and President Alice also rushed over to check on the situation. In order to avoid being killed by the president's gaze, they both dared only to gently support the body of the eldest lady who was convulsing uncontrollably.

The flower on the back of the neck didn't answer. I don't know whether it was too busy or unable to do so.

Bei Xi pushed aside Nan Huan's collar and saw that the dragon-shaped figure that was originally lying peacefully on Nan Huan's skin was jumping up and down like a fish thrown into a hot pot. It looked extremely painful, and it couldn't even speak or respond to their calls.

Bei Xi took out the potion from the control panel, whether he gave it to Nan Huan or tried to feed some to Yizhihua, but it was of no use.

In this way, this spasm lasted for about two minutes, and suddenly stopped without any warning.

Nan Huan was sweating all over. Yizhihua suddenly became completely quiet and did not respond no matter how he called out to her. Even the dragon-shaped pattern closed its eyes.

Fortunately, after Bei Xi touched the other party's dragon form, he confirmed that the body was still warm, so he should not be dead.

Nan Huan hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief yet because of the news, when he looked up he saw a strange man.

It's not that she looks weird, but half of her body is wrapped in black air. As Passerby A said before, if it was the owner of the pawnshop, it would be impossible for them to leave the pawnshop on their own. Moreover, the black air on her body is not similar to the situation of Passerby A and the flower chain before.

It was more like the black gas had engulfed half of the woman's body, so that in Nanhuan's eyes, half of her body maintained a human appearance, and the other half was completely composed of black gas.

“Big sir… Miss, is this the black energy you mentioned?” The scene before her was so shocking that even President Alice stuttered, “Is it the stuff that was originally mixed in our water?”

She suddenly raised her voice, remembering that if it weren't for the eldest lady, this thing would have already gone into her stomach.

"You can see it."

Before Nan Huan nodded, he realized another problem.

Previously in the dungeon, other players could not see the existence of the black air at all. Although Bei Xi could feel it, he could not see it. Even the black air on Passerby A before was not visible to them.

Then she turned around and got a positive answer from Bei Xi.

"I can see it, too," Bei Xi nodded, and at the same time took out his iron axe, "Not only that, I can also feel murderous aura from her, it's very strong."

In this copy, Bei Xi had never felt such a strong murderous aura, not even from the housekeeper.

Especially the murderous aura on the other party, which was not restrained at all and was directed towards them...

No, the other party seemed to be coming towards the Dragon Temple behind them.

Perhaps it was the shock and solemn expression on the woman's face, or perhaps it was because the murderous aura emanating from her was too obvious, the residents who came to pray soon left the Dragon God Temple one by one.

Without the distraction of praying, Nan Huan unexpectedly did not feel as uncomfortable as before.

In the entire Dragon God Temple, there was only the Holy Maiden sitting at the front. She did not change at all, and did not even turn back. She maintained the same posture as before, and recited the ancient language in a fluent manner.

"Saint... Saint..."

Nan Huan and her group followed each other into the hall. From the previous scenes, she had already seen that as long as they did not interfere with what had happened here, the people present would not react to their presence at all.

At this time, the woman stood in the center of the hall and murmured something to Jiusheng's back.

Nan Huan noticed her clenched fists and the painful expression on her face. These two words did not seem to be confirming the other person's identity, but more like a cry for help.

When Jiu Sheng heard her words, he paused for a moment and then sighed.

It was very light, but Nanhuan caught it.

"Dragon Envoy, you are here..."

The familiar tone also exposed the other party's identity.

Jiusheng turned around with some effort, and when he saw the black air spreading over the other person's body, he immediately stretched out his hand. It looked very similar to the gesture Nan Huan made when he absorbed the black air.

This caused the Workers' President and Alice to look over at the same time. It was obvious that they were both wondering why the Saint could also absorb the black air. Isn't this the skill of the eldest lady?

It's just that Jiusheng's ability seemed to be affected by something, or maybe her body was simply not strong enough to support her absorbing the black air, so that as soon as a few strands of black air entered her body, Jiusheng vomited blood uncontrollably.

Maybe it was because the black energy had diminished or the warm red blood had stimulated the other party, but the Dragon Envoy regained his senses a little, and there was a bit more worry in his dull eyes, "Saint Girl, hurry... hurry and leave here..."

These words were almost shouted out from her throat, adding a bit of liveliness to her originally solemn face.

But it was only a moment, she had already swept her back with her hand, and a knife shining with golden light appeared in her hand.

When they looked again, they realized that it was not shining with golden light at all. Instead, the knife was actually made up of densely packed scales, and the scales were shining with a faint golden color, so at first glance it looked like a knife shining with golden light.

The remaining two people, President Workers and President Alice, did not seem to have expected that the situation would suddenly become so critical. Now it is obvious that the behavior of this so-called Dragon Envoy is not under his control at all, but is controlled by the black air. The Saint is no match for them at this time, and if a fight really breaks out, she might suffer a loss.

Will they not take action this time? However, regardless of the Saint's vomiting of blood just now or the Dragon Envoy drawing his sword, the Dragon God has not appeared yet, unlike the last time on the altar.

At this moment, Bei Xi and Nan Huan both turned their gazes to the shining knife, or to be more precise, to the familiar patterns on the scales.

They had already watched several scenes without finding a single suspect. Now a dragon master suddenly appeared, and it seemed that he had some abilities that they were unsure of. Naturally, he was quickly added to the list of top suspects.

Nan Huan and Bei Xi would naturally not let the people in front of them get what they want. After all, judging from the tasks released by the system now, if they want to complete the tasks, they must first destroy certain behaviors of the owner of the pawn ticket.

Since it is still unclear what caused the other party to go to the pawn shop, just destroy whatever the other party does.

For example, if she wants to kill Jiusheng now, we must stop her.

Bei Xi and Nan Huan have such a tacit understanding that they can guess each other's psychological activities with just a glance.

Therefore, the division of labor between the two was very clear. Nan Huan stretched out his hand to absorb the black air from the Dragon Envoy, while Bei Xi tried to block the other party's knife that was stabbing at the Saint.

When the president of Workers and President Alice saw that the eldest lady and the first president had already gone up, they naturally went up to help without saying a word.

There wasn't much black energy on the Dragon Envoy's body, so it should have been a piece of cake for Nan Huan.

The Dragon Envoy's sword looks very cool, but there are three top presidents on the scene. Even if we don't take into account President Alice and President Worker, the lethality of just one president should be more than enough to deal with the opponent.

But what happened was beyond the expectations of several people.

Nan Huan stretched out her hand but it was empty. She could only see the black air but still could not absorb it.

Bei Xi watched with his own eyes as the iron axe and his own body became transparent in an instant when the dragon envoy stabbed at them, as if they were not real people in this world.

【bite--

Players are reminded that this is not a real dungeon world. For the basic parts that cannot be changed, players are requested not to try to break the balance in the special side quests. 】

The system's prompts followed and answered everyone's questions.

At the same time, the dragon envoy's knife had pierced through Bei Xi's body and directly stabbed into the saint's right shoulder.

The intense pain made the saint's face turn very pale, but she was not too surprised. She just followed this posture and held the other person's hand gently and firmly.
