144 Heart Connecting Lock (1/2)

Jiang Fei could see the light flashing on his Treasure Hunting Ring, but he could not find the treasure itself. He circled the Steel-back Dragon several times before he finally returned his attention to the region beneath the Steel-back Dragon.

The Steel-back Dragon was curled up, its huge body piled up upon itself like a small hill. That was why Jiang Fei suspected that the treasure had to be hidden beneath its body.

Jiang Fei felt troubled. Although the Steel-back Dragon would not initiate an attack towards him, he too, did not dare attack it. If it continued to sit on the treasure, he was never going to snag it.

In truth, Jiang Fei was not the only one troubled. The Steel-back Dragon would be drenched in sweat now, if it had sweat pores. It was peacefully sleeping in its own home before this human had come along and woken it up. If it was an actual human, it would have been fine, as the Steel-back Dragon could enjoy a delicious snack. However, a terrifying Dragon's Might emanated from this -- thing that took the form and wrappings of a human!

As a Yalong beast, the Steel-back Dragon was particularly sensitive towards the Dragon Might, compared to other wild beasts. It was very certain that the human before him was a high-level, Pure-blooded Dragon Race in hhis human disguise.

The Dragon Race was a high-level race. They were very particular about their bloodlines. As a mere Yalong beast, the Steel-back Dragon should be honored to bump into a Pure-blooded Dragon Race. It was both excited and also frightened at the same time!

It was excited because if it could associate itself with this Pure-blood Dragon Race, it would be able to go very far in life and no longer had to remain stuck in this tiny valley. It was afraid, on the other hand, of offending the Pure-blood Dragon Race which could cost its life with a single Dragon's Breath.

Therefore, as Jiang Fei did not seem to be actively hostile, and was instead circling around it with no apparent motive, the Steel-back Dragon did not dare to make any moves. It merely sat there in silence, afraid of upsetting the man and dying to his Dragon's Breath.

”How do I get this miserable pile of scales off?” Jiang Fei continued to inspect the Steel-back Dragon, murmuring to himself.

”yвaжatьctapwnxдpakoh,Вывпoprдke? (In Dragon's language: My respected Dragon Lord, may I ask what you are looking for?)” The Steel-back Dragon was getting most uncomfortable and finally voiced out its question.

”What the heck? You speak?” Jiang Fei was murmuring to himself, when the Steel-back Dragon spoke and gave him a fright.

”ktotы? (In Dragon's language: What branch are you from?)” Since it had wisdom and could speak, things had become much easier. Jiang Fei had even dared to trick the Nephilim's princess. Blackmailing a Yalong beast was nothing!

”rпoлykpoвkaдpakoh,3дecь摸nдom. (In Dragon's language: I am Branch Yalong from the Dragon Race. I live here.)” The Steel-back Dragon explained.

”cka3aл6ы,чtoo6wnnыk (In Dragon's language: Do you speak Common?)” Jiang Fei asked.

”Yes… Hiss… A little bit, hiss…”

The Steel-back Dragon was rather fluent in the Dragon's language. However, once it started using the common tongue, the words became heavily layered with hisses.

”What are you hiding under your butt?” Jiang Fei asked directly. Since he was pretending to be from the Dragon Race, he had to have the demeanor of someone from the Dragon Race. If he behaved very gently and politely, his pretense would be quickly discovered. The Dragon Race had to act like bullies without any grounds for reasoning.

”There is a treasure under my protection… Hiss…” The Steel-back Dragon answered.

”That is fine. The treasure belongs to me now!” Jiang Fei said bluntly.

”Ah?”

The Steel-back Dragon was stunned. It was at a loss of words.
