242 Bait and Kill (1/2)
Dragon God Island.
The island was situated in the depths of Golden Dragon Lake. On it, there was the largest temple, built to worship the Golden Dragon God. It was under the protection of many strong believers who lived nearby.
These island dwellers live among the islands in the lake and depend on the Golden Dragon God for survival. Their establishments on the lake were shocking and even the king of Lie Country could do nothing about it.
”Just on Dragon God Island itself, there are already about 10,000 people living on it, and a standing army!”
Fang Yuan and the two other dream masters approached the island, and their eyes were glittering.
One month had already passed since the three of them had met.
With they own secret techniques, Venerable Fiery Dragon and Deity Clear Lotus went all out and recovered more than half of what they originally had. To recover even more of their abilities, they were met with all sorts of restrictions. Compared to Fang Yuan's unique ability, the difference was obvious. At some point, he even felt that he could take the both of them down. Of course, that only remained as a thought.
Through the past month, they had collected quite a lot of information regarding Golden Dragon Lake.
Finally, the three of them could not hold it back any longer and started to plan their attack.
”Within the lake and especially at the Dragon God Island, the Golden Dragon God would be able to use its full strength, and he would be further strengthened by the realm energy...”
Fang Yuan shook his head. ”We should not fight him here.”
”Of course we wouldn't!”
Venerable Fiery Dragon gazed at Dragon God Island with a serious look and raised his hands.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
A few red sparrows landed on his arms and chirped cheerfully.
However, Venerable Fiery Dragon remained with his serious look, as though he had received new information.
”How's it?”
Deity Clear Lotus asked.
”The defence on Dragon God Island is tight. Even my secret technique to spy on them was discovered! We cannot go in by brute force!”
Venerable Fiery Dragon continued to look solemn and shook his head.
”If that is so, then the only way is to attract him out of his nest!”
Both of them looked at Fang Yuan.
Seeing their reactions, Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. ”Shouldn't you keep your promises?”
”Alright!”
Venerable Fiery Dragon patted his own chest. ”I will transfer you 100 contribution points when we get back!”
”I'll give you the technique to seal the realm energy now!”
Deity Qinghe passed her white-coloured inscription plate over.
”Alright!”
Fang Yuan took the inscription plate and placed it on his forehead. Immediately, he received a huge transcript of the technique. ”I'll verify it on my own. If there are no problems with it, we can carry on with our plan three days later!”
”That's good!”
Venerable Fiery Dragon exchanged mysterious glances with Deity Clear Lotus.
...
Three days later, on Dragon God Island.
”Roar! Roar!”
In the temple, a figure with the head of a dragon and the body of a human let out a terrifying roar.
It was similar to that of a tiger or leopard's roar, with the vibe of a God.
On Dragon God Island, people and animals alike would kneel down and pay their respects to the Golden Dragon God.
”Dragon God is here!”
In the temple, a priest was wearing a colourful but scaly hide. There were even scales on his face. He was in meditation, as though he was listening out for something. Quickly, he turned around and announced:
”The mighty Golden Dragon God had passed down a decree! The person who killed his son, the golden carp, is here at Golden Dragon Lake... Find him and kill him! Bring his head back as an offering!”
”Wuuu! Wuuu!”
Many island dwellers shouted in fury as they started to paddle their boats and took their leave from the island.
...
At the border of Golden Dragon Lake.
”Shing!”
Fang Yuan pointed his finger out like a sword and struck at random.
In front of him, there was a huge tortoise. As the sword essence struck through its shell, green blood started to flow out.
”Five Places and Ten Earths, Seal!!!”
He struck his left palm on the shell of the tortoise.
”Buzz!”
A glow appeared and a small amount of realm energy was visible. As it struggled to escape, it was contained by the runes around. Slowly, the space around it shrunk and finally, it became like an earthworm, which was subsequently thrown into Fang Yuan's actualised dream world.
”This technique is really simple...”
The plan which Deity Clear Lotus and Venerable Fiery Dragon came up with was to use Fang Yuan's identity as a bait. He would enter the Golden Dragon Lake and attract the island dwellers out before killing them.
As long as the damage they could create was huge enough without displaying any real threat to the Golden Dragon God, he would surely appear to stop them!
What if he would decide to be a cowardly tortoise? They would kill their way in until the Golden Dragon God wouldn't be able to take it!”
Previously when Fang Yuan killed the golden carp, he sealed his own spiritual aura, which made him undetectable.
With his sudden revelation, he attracted this large tortoise and the other crustacean army.
'This is not right... you're overdoing it!”
Beside him, a red sparrow was chirping. ”You need to fight and run at the same time, convincing the Golden Dragon God that he has the ability to take you down. The best would be to injure yourself and force him to come out of hiding, making himself vulnerable!”
”I know...”
Fang Yuan waved his hands in annoyance but he was panicky inside.
If Venerable Fiery Dragon were to become a trickster, he would be rather successful.
”And also... The realm energy...”
The red sparrow stared at Fang Yuan as though it was begging for an earthworm to eat.
”Whoever killed it shall have it!”
Fang Yuan rejected him without hesitation, turned around and took his leave.
”Whoosh!”
At the small river near them, a splash appeared and a huge green prawn crawled up the shore. With its two huge claws, it started to snap at Fang Yuan.
