Chapter 18 – Merciless (1/2)
When Xiao Chen refined the rare dragon crystal, the boundless energy from the dragon crystal was almost entirely absorbed by the acupuncture point in his right foot. Even though only a little portion of the dragon essence entered his wounded body, the condition of his injuries was much better than before.
Zhao Lin Er hadn’t shown herself in the past three days. However, she will certainly not give up on the opportunity to kill Xiao Chen right before her eyes. After all, both of them strived for time, perhaps the rumbling of thunder strike would occur at a moment’s notice.
Xiao Chen urgently needed time to recover his wounded body. In the past few days, he constantly regulated his breathing through certain techniques in the primitive forest.
This island is brimming with mystery, Xiao Chen discovered traces of many huge monsters in the vicinity of the Tyrannical Dragon’s territory. Many of them were sacred ancient beasts. Such as: A Divine Panther capable of ripping apart huge elephants, an ancient crocodile that extended up to twenty meter long, a huge golden centipede that was as thick as a bowl…… He could even hear the dragon roar that was transmitted from the depths of the island. Naturally, that was not from the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, nor was it the ancient Tyrannical Dragon. It was from another unidentified dragon-kind.
The essence of the plants was flowing sluggishly, the green radiance flickered unceasingly in the mountain forest. Xiao Chen’s surrounding was occupied by a dense spiritual energy, his body was enveloped by a hazy green radiance. The pure essence of the plants entered his body, and he was healed by the lukewarm green afterglow.
Another two days had already passed, the state of Xiao Chen’s body was so much better than before. He decided to go and observe what Zhao Lin Er was doing, she couldn’t have given up her intention to kill him. The next time would probably be the conclusion, it was necessary to probe around.
After by-passing the zone frequently roamed by the Tyrannical Dragon, Xiao Chen passed through a dense primitive forest, avoided various kinds of peculiar beasts, and finally returned to the outermost zone of the island where he had built the green bamboo house.
The blue sky and white clouds were reflected by the clear sapphire-like lake, the surrounding was filled with wisterias, and colorful flowers were in full bloom. The refreshing fragrance of the flowers filled the entire region of this forest.
The bamboo house was fresh and green, it was decorated with some vines and fresh flowers. A plain cotton towel was hanging on the rattan string in front of the bamboo house, fluttering lightly along with the breeze.
The bamboo house built by Xiao Chen was already occupied by Zhao Lin Er. That was indeed a spoil of war not just in name only, but also in reality.
However, Xiao Chen did not see Zhao Lin Er at all, he began searching by circling around the area . His sight suddenly become focused, in the depths of the jungle hundred meters away from the tiny lake, there were actually five newly constructed bamboo houses! Moreover, he saw an unfamiliar figure there!
It was a youngster with a tall stature, judging by his appearance, he seemed to be roughly twenty plus years old. The youngster had a long brown hair, and extremely fair skin. However, the expression in his eyes was somewhat malicious, giving an impression that he was not very friendly.
Who was that?
Xiao Chen observed the brown-haired man quietly in the forest.
Not long later, countless seabirds flew away from the direction of the seaside with a jet-like speed. The silhouettes of two people could be seen passing through the jungle, they quickly ran towards the brown-haired man.They appeared to be a man and a woman around the age of twenty, both of them have light brown hair and by the looks of their uniform, they seemed to be the servant of the man in front of the bamboo house. The two of them bowed when they reached the brown-haired man.
The brown-haired youth waved his hand to dismiss the courtesy. After that, he asked, “There are still no traces of them?”
“Yes, My Lord. We couldn’t find a single ship at the ocean.”
The brown-haired youth slightly knitted his brows and said, “It is rare for the Taboo Ocean to be this calm, and that there isn’t any mysterious power hindering us. There shouldn’t be any great danger, how come they still haven’t arrived? Could it be that they ran into the vicious dragon?” Soon after, he turned his head to the direction of the tiny lake. After a brief moment of silence, he said to himself, “Exceptionally charming…… even the Unicorn is accompanying her, she is seriously as beautiful as an angel……”
