Chapter 172 - Qilins Master (1/2)

Lofey brought their attention to the surroundings. Uncertain where they were, all eyes went to Meirga and the fox-spider.

Meirga closed her eyes and smiled. ”We're now in the chameleon's place.”

”Are you sure?” Tyriece said, unsure with what he saw. A land of howling winds and blizzard of snow. Quite an interesting place for a lizard to settle. His spine tingled with the freezing air and hastily brought out his winter coat on.

Meirga kindly smiled at him, sorry that his body couldn't cope up. ”Yes, I am. I can sense his presence.”

”This snowy peak is his lair?” Lofey saw the oddness or to be clear, letting his fire heat his body up.

Why would a chameleon live in such a cold and desolate land? And where was Ming?

”Indeed. But the weather wasn't this bad the last time I came.”

In her mind the same question came as when they were in the dried forest. Why are these places getting worse in my visits?

To make sure she was not mistaken, she closed her eyes again. Her spiritual sense tried to find the chameleon again.

”I'm totally right. This is his place but on why it is snowing this badly, I don't know. It wasn't like this the last time I came here.”

Xinyi's forehead creased. ”When was this last time?” Xinyi's thoughts were on Meirga's words about the worsening weather. But their questions were getting on Meirga's nerves.

”Just days ago. Please. Dragon's have good memories. We can even remember decades of history.”

”Sorry, I don't mean that. Never mind. I can feel his presence too,” Xinyi said. ”Please bring us to his lair now.”

Before they could set out, Xinyi sensed a powerful but familiar being was fast approaching them.

The whole team sensed it too but only the Godingans reacted negatively.

”Watch out!” Lofey and Tyriece yelled and about to jump in front of Xinyi but halted on their tracks when Xinyi smiled as a reindeer-like creature pounced on her.

”Shijian?” She fell on the ground with a Qilin's head inches from her face.

”Haha, I miss you.” Her tongue licking Xinyi's face.

Xinyi laughed out loud as she tried to cover her face from the wet tongue but failed. Nevertheless, she enjoyed Shijian's playful welcome.

”Why are you here? But wait… You can speak and… You changed.” Xinyi looked at Shijian's gorgeous bold-striped covered body. Her hand reached the meter long with one branch antlers on the Qilin's tiger-like head in front of her. ”Are you really Shijian?”

”Of course. Did you meet another pretty Qilin aside from me? But we'll talk later. Come. I'll bring you to the governor.”

All eyes widened to hear the word governor.

Shijian stood up and Xinyi exclaimed to see the Qilin had grown as tall as a horse. ”Hop on, Xinyi.”

With one hand on Shijian's back, she swung her body up to sit on the Qilin's bareback.

Shijian raced away.

Lengshui transformed into a sleigh of ice, letting the fox-spider and the two men sit on his chair-formed back. He slid away after the Quilin. Nianshi and Meirga followed suit, treading their feet on snowy ground.

Yet, minutes had passed, but the Qilin had no sign of stopping.

”Where are we heading?” Tyriece asked the human Nianshi running in paced speed beside them.

”I'm not sure, but I can see a cave kilometers from here.” Nianshi said.

Hearing how far Nianshi could see amazed Tyriece and Lofey. They looked ahead, only finding a thick fog covering the whole place.

So this is the power of a dragon's vision Lofey thought.

Unknown to them, Nianshi himself was even more awestruck on how far his vision could reach. Three kilometers was too far for him before, but now this was nothing.

Is this the result of the essence from the Lavanna crystals? There was no other culprit he could point to for him to gain this ability.
