Chapter 1039 - Whirlwind (2/2)

” Uh, this is just like the story of the little horse crossing the river. 1 Those other people are all the squirrel. As for you, Sir System…” Fang Ning trailed off.

“I’m that old horse,” Sir System said happily.

“No, you’re a crow. You can just fly across the river, so it doesn’t matter how deep the water is anyway,” Fang Ning said in all seriousness.

“Oh, I see.” Sir System came to a realization. “Then should I give a loud roar and get it to come out?”

“Let me check the topographical features first.” Fang Ning looked out through the System View and studied the whirlwind of sand before them.

The sand was slowly rotating layer by layer, yet it contained an unparalleled power, as if it was a cosmic black hole of the universe.

Fang Ning believed that if anything fell into this sand whirl, it would absolutely be incapable of getting out.

This was probably the reason for the lack of living creatures around the area.

“Okay, you can roar now.” Fang Ning was certain that their surroundings would not be affected.

“Argh…” came a dragon’s roar.

However, for the longest time, there was no response.

“Argh…” came its second roar.

There was still no response.

“Hey, how can this be?” After much thought, Sir System was still puzzled and became frustrated. “Could it be that the Earth Dragon has an arrogant personality, and just doesn’t want to meet us?”

“Let me think.” Fang Ning also felt that something was simply not adding up. “Since we’ve already managed to roar those two Ancient Dragons — the Water Dragon and the Wind Dragon — out of hiding, it means that there shouldn’t be any problem with this method of us calling at the door.”

“What’s the reason then?” Sir System huffed.

Fang Ning could not pinpoint the real reason for this unexpected turn of events as well, not because he was at a loss for ideas, but because there were too many possible reasons.

For instance, the other party might not be in the mood for a visitor, or it might not be at home…

The other possibility was that this huge whirlwind before them was, in fact, not the Earth Dragon’s dwelling place.

He started to sense that he was very close to figuring out the truth of the situation.

Then, the great green insect that had been lying lifelessly on the dragon’s head suddenly said, “Hey, Great Azure Dragon, it seems like you’re having trouble inviting this dragon out. Would you like my help?”

“Right, what ideas do you have?” Sir System asked impatiently. It doubted that this gluttonous little insect could give them an answer.

“Wait a moment, Daqing may actually know something. Have you forgotten its talent of swallowing down a problem and spitting out an answer?” Fang Ning urged.

“Um, of course, I haven’t forgotten that,” Sir System said grumpily. “That’s why I’m trying not to waste our food resources.”

“You can hardly expect the insect to accomplish anything big if you’re not willing to sacrifice some of your food. At least give it something to eat,” Fang Ning suggested.

A huge egg pancake with a question mark carved into it was delivered to Daqing’s mouth.

“Hey, nice, you know me very well.” The great green insect gulped it down and closed its eyes. After a while, it suddenly opened its mouth and said, “Oh, I know. The Earth Dragon and Water Dragon are married, so the Earth Dragon is back at the house of the Water Dragon that we’ve met earlier.”

“Uh…”

“Uh…”

Both Fang Ning and Sir System were dumbfounded.

“Damn it, I could’ve thought of that myself.” Fang Ning shook his head and sighed. “Ah, even the wise are not always free from error. Actually, that Water Faucet has already given us a hint when it told us it had a six-billion-year-old wife.”

“Right, since they’re a couple, they were already being very courteous when one of them came out to meet us. Of course, there would no need for the both of them to come out together,” Sir System said gloomily.

“Indeed, even a True God wouldn’t deserve the honor of being received by both the husband and the wife,” Fang Ning said in understanding.

“How offensive. I’ve been flying so long for nothing. I’ve even wasted my precious food ingredients.” Sir System became rather morose.

It would never work for free, much less stand having its time wasted.

“Humph, I can’t let this trip go to waste…” Sir System muttered as it controlled the Azure Dragon to fly toward the enormous sand whirl.

“Hey, hey, have you gotten tired of living?” Fang Ning shouted in fear.

“What can you do to stop me?”

The Azure Dragon entered into the massive whirlwind of sand.
