Chapter 76 (2/2)

“How so?!” Sui was angry.

Ray also realized it at this time. He sighed deeply and said, “They finally told Steele the information, so this was fair.”

“Your understanding of ‘fairness’ is very problematic!” Sui Xiong could not help shaking his head, but he did not think it was a good idea to say anything when he saw Ray’s and Steele’s looks.

However, he secretly decided that if possible he would talk to the god in charge of “fairness” in this world about what real fairness was!

“I should not have asked you to inquire about the information!” Looking at Steele’s haggard look, he could not help but blame himself, “It was insanely stupid to send you, a weak and solitary woman, to go out at night to inquire about the information!”

“It was not your fault, Your Majesty,” said Steele smiling with a bit of disobedience in her eyes. “Actually, if it had not been for the Jinguquan that bound me… this would have been an easy task!”

“If you really think I did very hard work, just temporarily unlock the confinement and let me indulge myself for a moment, ok?”

Looking at her eyes that were full of fatigue and anticipation, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles without hesitation, and then the Jinguquan flashed and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a powerful divine force was infused into her body, leaving her in a superb state and with a magical defense that was sufficient to keep her safe.

“I will find the dragon and negotiate with it. Ray, you take care of her in case anything unexpected happens.”

After making such a command, the floating jellyfish flew out the window and toward the western sky.

Sui Xiong used his full strength to fly this time. Rather than flying in a leisurely, flowing way, he was in a different condition. His magical power changed into a strong driving force that made the green, floating jellyfish rush into the air. He traveled fast enough to shock the fastest flying birds.

Perhaps only those flying demon beasts that competed for the title of “Chief of the Sky” might fly at this speed.

It took only a short time before a scar-like canyon appeared in front of him on the ground. Night had no effect on him, and the gurgling stream at the bottom of the canyon acted as a signpost, giving him a clear indication of direction.

Sui Xiong reduced his speed and height and went down along the stream. Because his speed was greatly reduced, it took him almost half an hour to fly to the end of the canyon.

At the end of the canyon, there was a large crack that extended toward the underground. The crack was very spacious and seemed like a gateway to the underground world. The stream flowed into the crack as if it was being swallowed by a horrific monster.

Of course, Sui Xiong was not afraid of anything. He flew directly into the crack and went into the underground world.

Before his space travel, Sui Xiong had read a lot of Western fantasy works that had designed a curious but magnificent underground world with all sorts of strange races and a perverted society full of intrigue that tried its best to maintain the superficial order. However, in this world, there was no such underground world, only some caves and cracks that were not so large.

Of course, such an environment could not provide adequate living resources. Therefore, those who lived in these caves and cracks were the losers in the competition of survival in the earthly world. Some of them lived here because of their lack of power, but mostly because of their evil deeds. The latter were not tolerated by the order of the earthly world, and they could only run to hide underground embarrassedly.

For example, the dragon. Sui Xiong had not flown for long a time before he saw its figure.

At the deepest part of the cave, there was a ring-shaped crater that didn’t spray out any smoke. Only the seething lava at the bottom showed that it was not dead silent.

There was a huge figure floating in the lava. It was far bigger than the huge dragons that Sui Xiong had encountered before. It extended at least 50 meters from its head to its feet. Because its wings were not extended, its wingspan couldn’t be judged. But you could imagine how horrible it was when it extended its wings, flew over a village, and breathed fire, burning whatever was on the ground.

Amazingly, it seemed that Sui Xiong had seen this dragon before.

Previously at the viscount’s territory of Geerteng, he had spied in the memory of a noble with an outstanding life, a brawny man whose strength had reached an “advanced” level and was slowly approaching the mortal people’s limits. Deep in the memory of this strong man, there was a fear of a brutal red dragon, and the red dragon in his memory seemed to be the same dragon that was lying asleep in the pool of lava at the moment.

If they were the same, then Sui knew its identity: the famous evil dragon, Uherskreider, known as the “Brutal Burner.”

Even among the evil dragons, this one was considered the most notorious of them all. Instead of collecting money, it was keen on attacking the villages where the humans, elves, dwarves and all the weaker creatures inhabited. The attack was not for the purpose of collecting money but for the sake of destruction and burning at its will. It was keen on seeing those weak creatures wail mournfully and be burnt alive in the flames. After the attack, it often lied in the place where it committed such crimes, and ate women and children as its snacks while enjoying the tragic scene of people struggling in the fire and dying.

Because it had committed too much evil, this one had long been the target of a few strongmen. More than ten gods had given orders that it should be killed. The reward for killing it had also been accumulating exponentially. If a knight could behead it and change the reward into gold coins, you could bury the knight with his horse in the pile of gold coins leaving no trace.

However, it was still alive, and up until now there had been many heroes who had died fighting against it. It was even said that the saint of a certain church used the Technique of Descending Gods so that the power of the gods would descend onto the earthly world, but the saint was also beaten back.

This evil dragon was regarded as a banner of the evil forces among the villains in the main plane.

Sui Xiong carefully observed the sleeping dragon, thinking about how to deal with it.
