Chapter 329: The Center (2/2)

Xue Wei, however quickly went to help her straighten herself again, ”I am no king,” he said honestly. ”But why have you summoned me?”

The being that was standing on the grass looked at Xue Wei for some time, before its body suddenly expanded.

Scaled erupted from beneath the skin, and the body turned into that of a dragon. While Xue Wei was an azure dragon, this was a white dragon with a slightly blue tint to the scales.

”I am a flood dragon,” the dragon said as it looked deeply at Xue Wei. ”My mate lives in Chang'an. This purple mist is a skill that only he and I know.

”I can feel the life force of my mate inside of you, and at the same time, I can also sense your aura like an emperor.

”I hoped you could tell me about my mate, but more than anything I knew you were the esteemed Azure Dragon.

”An Azure Dragon is the King of all dragons. We are forced to bow to the Azure Dragon, and thus, I wanted to see what my King looked like.

”I understand that you are young and that it is quite a time before you become a real Dragon King or perhaps even a Dragon Emperor, but seeing you in your growth period is also an honor.

”I cannot do much for you, but what I can do is to help you mature slightly.

”The Thunder Twilight Zone belongs to me. I am a flood dragon, and I entered this area a millennia ago.

”Since then I have stayed here, waiting for the time I can be reunited with my mate.

”I can tell you where the most prosperous area of the Thunder Twilight Zone is, the area with most treasures.

”Although this place is a real treasure trove, it is also the most dangerous area in the entire zone apart from my purple mist.

”Although it is not as dangerous as my purple mist, it is still quite dangerous, so you have to depend on both luck and skill to make it through.”

Xue Wei considered for some time, but he had already been prepared to fight for his life. Now that he was within the Thunder Twilight Zone, he was not going to give up just like that.

However, it was not a decision he could make on his own. This was a life-threatening decision, and therefore, he had to ensure that his friends were equally ready to risk their lives.

Bai Tianyi smirked when he heard the words of the flood dragon, Hei Gou was grinning, Lin Xiao was chuckling, and Luoluo was looking puzzled.

Although Luoluo was the one who seemed like she was the most unsure about what to do, Xue Wei was the least worried about her.

She was immortal, and not only this, but she was also the strongest of them all if they ended up in a tricky situation.

”It seems that you all have made a decision,” the flood dragon said approvingly. If he had shied away from this, then she would not have believed in his ability to become a Dragon King, much less a Dragon Emperor.

But he had not disappointed her; he had not hesitated at all and ended up going straight for the danger area.

”Let me show you the way,” the dragon once more transformed into the shape of a woman, and her long flowing white fairy dress was floating around her as she started moving through the purple mist.

By the time she had reached the purple mist, it was as if it warped around them, and in a few steps they had left behind the purple world, once more returning to the booming thunder and the lightning that was continuously brightening up the sky.

Xue Wei was astounded when he saw how the flood dragon was capable of making them move through the mist so fast.

Although it had been impossible to determine exactly how long he and the others had spent to reach the center, it was in no way a short amount of time. It could have been a day, but it could also have been days since the purple world had completely messed up their ability to detect time.

Still, this was so fast that they knew that it was unnatural.

Although they had moved too fast, Xue Wei was not in a position to ask anything. He had to look around and determine if their current location was safe, and the more he looked, the darker his face became.

This place was indeed as dangerous as the purple mist would be for common experts.

He could sense that the lightning in the area was many times stronger than it had been at the outskirts of the Thunder Twilight Zone. It was clear that they had reached the very center of the zone.

”Well then, I am off,” the flood dragon said, and without giving Xue Wei time to say anything, she vanished from her position. It was clear that she was scared of him changing his decision and wanting to return with her.

Smiling wryly, Xue Wei shook his head and looked around them. It was, contrary to his expectations, not the middle of the sea. Instead, it was a desolate island.

The desolate island was not too big, it was around the size of the island the flood dragon resided on, but where that one was full of life, this one was scorched, and filled with a deadly gloom.
