312 Black Water Dragon (1/2)
An Dragon Prefecture.
This was a huge prefecture surrounding the An River. The magistrate was long influenced and at the sight of the arrival of a huge navy, he paid his respects and provided a campsite for the naval forces to occupy.
Outside the campsite, two persons emerged as ripples formed on the surface of the lake. It was Fang Yuan and the Golden Court Dragon God.
”What do you think about this, Dragon God?”
Fang Yuan had good eyesight and enquired as soon as he noticed the huge naval troops.
”It is fate from the heavens that we dragons do not associate ourselves with the demons. What can we do?”
Hearing him, the Golden Court Dragon God let out a bitter laugh.
In reality, although the An River Dragon God was powerful, both of them did not take him as a threat.
The unpredictable nature of the people dao was more dangerous.
”This must be the doings of Xuan Zhen Sect... the hidden dragon deserves this tribulation!”
Fang Yuan looked ahead and spoke calmly.
”Eh? Are you not afraid that we will get nothing out of it the moment the hidden dragon dies?”
The Golden Court Dragon God was confused. In terms of investment, this young god had invested more in Xu Ting than himself.
”This is just another battle. Even if we lose, we will at most lose some karma points. I can still return to Qi Lake and cultivate in seclusion... We are gods!”
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered. ”Brother Dragon God, don't get yourself manipulated by the people dao's fate and become a pawn!”
Although he had set his sights on the dragon energy, he was ready to give it up and had the determination to do so!
Only with such a mindset would he be able to be unmoved and make sound judgements.
”Ah...”
The Dragon God shook as he felt a chill down his spine. He quickly bowed towards Fang Yuan. ”I've made a fool of myself. Thank you for your advice...”
With another laugh, he added. ”Who would've known that fate energy would be so powerful! I've only gotten myself slightly involved in it and have almost become trapped in it...”
”To us, it is simply a matter if we notice the problem, that's all!”
Fang Yuan smiled. ”As for the other weaker demons, as long as they get themselves involved, they would reach a point of no return. Look at Li Luan... Why, are you intending to help Xu Ting in this?”
”Forget it!”
The Golden Court Dragon God regained his composure. ”You're right, he deserves this retribution!”
After all, he was once a demon and now, he was a god. Regardless, he was never a human!
As he came to his realisation and shook off the influence of fate energy, he could quickly regain his composure and calm self.
”Hmm, we have swum the entire river. Almost half of the An River is within the An River Dragon God's control. However, if we combine forces, the An River Dragon God will not be able to defend against us. The true enemy would be the Divine Demon Queen which you have previously mentioned...”
Fang Yuan took a quick glance around and laughed. ”It has begun!”
Amidst the strong current, weird-looking heads popped out from the surface of the river. They were the various species of water dwellers and there were thousands of them.
There was silence everywhere as they made their way towards the big ships.
Of course, with the presence of two Dragon Gods, a small technique was all that was needed to shroud the spiritual sense of the weaker demons, making them unable to detect the Dragon Gods' presence.
...
Although they were in the campsite, guards were still required to look over the ships.
The river was choppy and the cabins on the ships were stuffy. Therefore, it was not an easy job and therefore, the guards were rotated based on their shifts and were rewarded with more food and wine. Of course, those on duty were not allowed to drink but they could keep it for consumption after they had completed their guard duties.
”Based on my combat prowess, who would dare to attack us in this area?”
A sailor walked on the deck and complained to his fellow sailor. ”Why do we have to do this?”
”Old Xue, if you were smart enough, you would have been a Lieutenant long ago!”
Most of these sailors were pirates previously and had grudges. Even though they were ruled with fear by Xu Ting, they were secretly unhappy with the higher-ups.
”What are you doing? Go for your rounds!”
As they were laughing and joking around, an officer came out of his cabin with a stern look. ”Whoever makes any more noise would be punished to scrub the decks tomorrow!”
”Hehe... Don't be angry, we won't dare to slack!”
The few sailors chuckled as they walked towards the edge of the deck.
”Sigh…... Although these sailors are courageous, it is still a headache to discipline them!”
Witnessing this scene, the officer let out a sigh.
The moonlight illuminated the deck, giving it a touching glow. Unknowingly, the officer took a few steps forward. ”What a bright moonlight... The moon is the same everywhere. Sigh... I wonder how is Xing'er doing?”
As he was deep in his thoughts, from the corner of his eye, he could see a glitter.
'What's that?'
He was about to say something, but it was a pity he could not begin to speak.
”Whoosh!”
A spear flew from mid-air and pierced through his chest. It had a reverse hook on its tip and with a tug, the young officer flipped overboard, causing a huge splash.
After a few moments, a deep red hue appeared, dyeing the river red.
”Lieutenant sir?”
The few sailors were in shock. They rushed to the railings and with a few ropes, they tied themselves securely and lowered themselves down.
Beneath them, many figures appeared. They were all in shock as they screamed. ”Water ghosts! Water ghosts!”
”Splash!”
Rows of crustacean army floated up and climbed onto the decks as they started a killing spree.
