Chapter 290 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind



Huang Lintian and his men quickly became entangled with the people in the disaster-stricken Dragon Bone Desert.

Seeing that the crowd had already started fighting, Huang Lintian decisively stepped through the crowd and walked towards the dragon bone.

At this moment, a man dressed in an old suit stood in front of Huang Lintian.

"The nauseating human scent is still as repulsive as ever."

As soon as he finished speaking, an ice spike flew rapidly toward Huang Lintian.

Huang Lintian waved his hand lightly, and with a flash of white light, the ice pillar disappeared rapidly.

The old man frowned slightly, clearly not understanding why his icicles had disappeared.

Even so, he did not retreat. A long, icy blue sword appeared in his hand, and he raised it to stab Huang Lintian.

Huang Lintian gently turned to the side: "Your opponent is not me."

As he finished speaking, an old man wearing a cloak and covering his face with a hood appeared behind Huang Tianlin.

The cloaked old man raised his hand, and a tiny pillar of fire appeared out of thin air, blocking the longsword.

A weathered voice came from beneath the cloak: "Daniel, it's been a long time."

The pillar of fire was small, yet it blocked the longsword from advancing an inch.

Daniel's expression changed, and he said with a hint of disbelief in his eyes:

"Alexander, it's you!"

Daniel became furious: "You traitor to the dragon race, you've actually started colluding with humans!"

"What has the Dragon Emperor done to wrong you?"

“Back then, when you, the captain of the guard, went missing, the Dragon Emperor personally brought William to the palace to raise him.”

"You actually colluded with humans to steal the remains of our great ancestors?"

Alexander flicked his finger slightly at Daniel's sword, instantly sending Daniel staggering back several steps.

Daniel looked at Alexander in shock: "This is impossible, how could you become so strong?"

Alexander's face turned sickly pale: "Daniel, the whole world has changed. Those ancient gods have disappeared."

"Are the dragons just going to wait here to die?"

Daniel struggled to his feet, leaning on his sword.

"If it weren't for the holy city built by the Dragon Emperor, do you think we could have survived here?"

"By doing this, you are jeopardizing the entire dragon race!"

"To bury the dragon race?" Alexander laughed, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Back then, I was just as naive as you."

"But do you know what I discovered?"

"In the Holy City, all the energy is supplied from the remains of our ancestors!"

"That's impossible! Don't talk nonsense! The Dragon Emperor would never do such a thing!"

"Wouldn't do such a thing? Then tell me, why are these skeletons gradually disappearing? Why are the young people of the dragon race getting weaker generation after generation, and some can't even cultivate?"

"Although the dragons of yesteryear were no match for the gods, they were incredibly powerful back then. Now, they're not even worth a bunch of ants that we used to look down on!"

As the two were talking, Huang Lintian had already walked up to a huge dragon corpse, closed his eyes, and took a deep sniff.

"Pure death energy, what a captivating aura!"

As he spoke, he took out a parchment from his person and pasted it onto the corpse.

Then the tall corpse in front of them slowly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it was only the size of a palm.

Huang Lintian reached out and grabbed the corpse, then said to Alexander:

"My old friend, we should leave today."

This scene horrified Daniel, and in his rage, bright red dragon blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Alexander, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Alexander wildly spread his arms wide:

"I want to resurrect these ancient dragons. I believe that under their leadership, the dragon race will return to its peak, and even stand at the very top of the food chain in this world!"

"Even those gods who drove the dragons here in the past will have to prostrate themselves at our feet when they see us again!"

"You're insane!"

Daniel cursed angrily, and his entire body transformed into a dark blue ice dragon.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Before Alexander could even make a move, a dagger was already embedded in Daniel's forehead. Daniel's eyes widened as he slowly collapsed.

Alexander roared, "What are you doing?"

Huang Lintian said calmly, "Now that we have achieved our goal, it's time to leave!"

"I need an explanation!"

"explain?"

Huang Lintian said coldly, "We are partners, not servants you can order around!"

"Don't forget, our cooperation agreement never included a clause prohibiting attacks on dragons, did it?"

Alexander snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Huang Lintian's reaction.

However, he still stayed by Huang Lintian's side.

As the people monitoring them slowly withdrew, and Huang Lintian and Alexander were about to leave, Xu Fan said to Sophia:

"Sophia, I have something to take care of. You wait for me here."

Sophia nodded obediently: "Don't worry, brother. I'll hide as soon as you leave, and no one will be able to find me."

Xu Fan was relieved and rode his sword in the direction Huang Lintian had left.

Not long after they started walking, Huang Lintian suddenly stopped, and his expression turned grim in an instant.

Alexander said angrily, "Let's go! Weren't you worried about wasting time?"

Huang Lintian completely ignored Alexander, his eyes fixed on the front.

Xu Fan slowly walked out from behind a sand dune:

"Long time no see, Young Master Huang."

Huang Lintian's face darkened further: "Xu Fan, what are you doing here?"

Xu Fan said with a smile, "I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for the elevator left by your Huang family, it would have been really difficult for me to get here."

As he spoke, Xu Fan observed Huang Lintian.

When the Huang family was mentioned, Huang Lintian didn't react at all. It seemed that the Seed of Death had completely controlled him, just like it had controlled Lin Tianxiong back then.

What do you want to do?

Xu Fan calmly said, "I accidentally saw you put away a dragon skeleton earlier."

"I happen to be interested in this too, why don't you lend it to me to take a look?"

"Damn humans!"

As Alexander spoke, a pillar of fire was already hurtling towards Xu Fan.

Xu Fan smiled gently, raised a finger, the finger straight, like a sharpened blade!

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the flames, instantly extinguishing the pillar of fire!

Alexander looked at Huang Lintian with suspicion and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

This young man in front of me doesn't look strong, so how could he have shattered my fire magic in such a short time?

"Since you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
