The Lady Boss took a deep breath, and looked at Shui Qinan with a complicated gaze. After all these years, the outside world might still not know what happened to the Shenlong Island, so many people would still come to pay their respects.
”However, let me remind you first. If you are here to take the divine dragon blood, I'm afraid you will have no success. The reason for that is because the Divine Dragon no longer exists. ”
Zhu Er heard the Lady Boss exclaim at the bleak life of this world. The Lady Boss actually looked to be about the same age as the people outside, but the reality was that her temperament and maturity that seeped out from her bones was different from the masses.
”How do you know I'm here to get the Divine Dragon blood?” Shui Qinan was a little surprised, her brows slightly trembled, ”What divine dragon could no longer exist?”
The Lady Boss shook her head and laughed softly. When people from the outside world came to the Shenlong Island, other than wanting the Divine Dragon blood, what else would they want?
Zhu Er was originally excited about finding Shenlong Island, but when she heard that the divine dragon no longer existed and that she couldn't get any more divine dragon blood, she started to become angry and resentful.
”How can I not get the Divine Dragon blood? The reason why we have traveled so far and have worked so hard is so that we can obtain the divine dragon blood. ”This …” became a little anxious. How much effort had his master paid for the divine dragon's blood, thinking about it all the time? How could he miss an opportunity when he reached the Shenlong Island?
The lady boss was not anxious at all. She reached out her hand and took out a teacup, and the warmth of the teacup began to spread to her palm. The Shenlong Island had already existed for a long time, and that name was something that the outside world did not understand.
Shui Qinan took a deep breath. As she looked at the tiredness on the Lady Boss's face, she suddenly remembered that she and Zhu Er had been sleeping very little these past two nights. The Lady Boss, the person who had been living in the Shenlong Island for a long time, must have had a difficult time.
”You want the divine dragon blood, but the divine dragon no longer exists. The Shenlong Island is named after the Divine Dragon, which protects everyone on our Shenlong Island. But now, every time it is night time when people are quiet, no, every time night falls, the citizens of the island will begin to kill each other. Or perhaps, they will fall into the abyss together and become magical beasts. ”
The Lady Boss pursed her lips. She sniffed the faint fragrance in the teacup, as if she was still reminiscing about the past.
Shui Qinan thought about it. Considering the situation she had just seen and the fact that the majority of the people on this island were either children or women, she guessed that every time night fell, those people would be affected.
Zhu Er thought back to what she had seen just now, and it seemed that she still had some lingering fear in her heart. Previously, those people seemed to be walking in this world purely with their bodies. They did not care about anything else, only the unfamiliar aura.
”Every time night falls, women and children will be affected by the devilish nature in their bodies. You are not people of the town, so you must have been experienced in being attacked by them. Due to the influence of the devils, they will attack all the strange auras that come to this town. ” The Lady Boss paused.
She sighed again, as if she was telling Shui Qinan and Zhu Er the reason why the divine dragon would no longer exist. But even so, Zhu Er was still a little confused. Shui Qinan then began to speak her next words.
”Because it cannot be guarded, it no longer exists. Isn't that right? ” asked softly, her eyes slightly moved. Shenlong Island truly lived up to this title; otherwise, the divine dragon definitely wouldn't have ceased to exist because it wasn't able to protect itself.
