"Master, the Dragon clan has always had a flaw. They must co here every ten years and drink the spring water for a month; otherwise, their bodies will rot and they’ll die."
Shakes Dragon answered without any hesitation.
He seed to say whatever he knew.
"Why?"
Julius Reed looked around; there was no one nearby.
Now, he was grateful to Dragon Dance.
Because Dragon Dance’s ability allowed him to discern if soone was lying.
If they lied, he would know imdiately.
"Back then, when our Dragon clan was taming dragons, we encountered many troubles. The most fatal was being poisoned by the dragons."
Shakes Dragon spoke calmly, as if recounting everyday matters, naturally revealing all the secrets he knew.
"Dragon poison?" Julius Reed asked, sowhat surprised, "What poison do dragons have?"
"Dragons and snakes are of the sa family. Snakes are poisonous, and so are dragons. But a dragon’s poison isn’t in its teeth or tongue; it’s in its horns. Dragon horns are highly toxic."
Shakes Dragon explained, "Back then, our ancestor, when poisoned and near death, crawled beside a small creek. There, there was stream water, but strangely, there was no vegetation around, just barren land. The creek itself was incredibly clear, with nothing in it."
"Our ancestor was very thirsty, and before dying, he crawled to the creek and took a sip of the water. Then, quietly waited for death to end his life."
"At that ti, people didn’t actively hunt dragons, but because dragons were vicious and ate humans, people rebelled for survival."
"Our ancestor being killed by a dragon was normal. Soone like him, who didn’t die in a dragon’s mouth, at least left an intact corpse."
"But who knew that after a few days, our ancestor actually survived! Moreover, he had a great power within him!"
"When he returned, our ancestor encountered a dragon once more. But when the dragon injured him and ca into contact with his blood, it began to weaken."
"Seizing this opportunity, our ancestor personally killed the dragon!"
"From then on, he started reflecting and finally understood, at the cost of hundreds of lives from the tribe, that it was the power of that spring water."
"Did you know? In those days, everyone feared dragons. But one day, when people realized they could suppress dragons, they got excited."
"That’s how Dragon Tars ca to be."
"But as ti went on, people found that their blood began to thin, and they would eventually die painfully."
"When a person dies, their blood is like water!"
"Not only that, but the descendants of the Dragon clan couldn’t escape such a fate either! They were born with blood that could weaken dragons and were not at all afraid of the poison in the dragon horns. But the cost was that within decades, they would die painfully."
"We weren’t passively waiting for death. The clan mbers kept exploring and finally found a solution. Fight poison with poison!"
"At the end of the small creek, there were fish! We discovered it was another small creek intersecting with this one."
"Once the two creeks converged, there were living creatures. Because of this, we tried drinking the water there."
"A miracle happened; for ten years, none of us died. But starting the tenth year, people began dying again."
"Thus, every ten years, we must return to represent the clan and fetch water. You guessed right, the water is beneath the sumr resort. This was originally a company we started as a cover."
"Later, we supported puppets, letting them construct buildings here, until now, when you arrived, my master."
Shakes Dragon revealed everything he knew.
"So now, what are they hurriedly going to do?" Julius Reed asked again.
"We’ve been researching how to remove our problem, so we no longer rely on this thing."
"We already have research results, just one last step. But these are top secrets, known only to our clan leader and a few undisclosed individuals. No one else knows."
"Right now, their most likely destination is Gonzalez City. Because the source of that creek is in Gonzalez City. It diverted over the years to Five-river Province."
"Gonzalez City?" Julius Reed shuddered when he heard the na.
Once again, Gonzalez City!
What on earth is in Gonzalez City!
How could there be so many things, all revolving around Gonzalez City.
"They’ll reach Gonzalez City within a few hours through the underground tunnel. If needed, I can take you there," Shakes Dragon said as his eyes began to flicker.
He seed to be struggling.
Julius Reed seed to understand.
This was the unexpected result brought by that silver needle.
It was precisely because of that silver needle that Shakes Dragon considered him his master.
But the problem was, in the end, he was a human, a formidable martial artist.
The function of this silver needle was very unstable.
"How could I do this! I’ve betrayed the Dragon clan! I want to kill him!"
Such voices began to erge.
Julius Reed squinted, looking at the flickering eyes of Shakes Dragon, and smiled, saying, "Take there."
"I’ll take you to die!" Shakes Dragon roared inwardly.
But he still pretended to be nonchalant, smiling broadly, "Please, my master."
The two entered the sumr resort, crossed a series of rooms, and reached a dead end.
Shakes Dragon stretched out his hand and touched the wall.
Ding!
A crisp sound.
The ground suddenly opened, revealing a hole.
"Here is the underground tunnel, we shall enter now," Shakes Dragon finished speaking and jumped in.
Julius Reed followed closely.
The pitch-black underground suddenly brightened.
It was a tunnel.
There were many cars inside.
"The Dragon clan, with a thousand years of operations, is extrely wealthy! These cost countless assets," Shakes Dragon finished speaking and walked to a car, extending his hand, "Please."
"You said I am your master?" Julius Reed asked suddenly with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, master." Shakes Dragon lowered his head, not daring to look.
"If I tell you to die, would you?" Julius Reed asked again.
"Of course!"
Shakes Dragon hesitated slightly, though briefly, it still exposed a flaw.
No longer effective.
"Good, then die now," Julius Reed said.
"Yes, my master!" A glint of malice appeared in Shakes Dragon’s eyes as he drew his sword, slowly aiming it at his own chest.
"Go to hell then..."
Splurt!
But before the words were finished!
Julius Reed kicked swiftly!
Directly kicking the dagger in.
The dragon scale armor was penetrated.
Thud!
Shakes Dragon fell to the ground.
"No such thing as immortality," Julius Reed smiled, checking the car.
Indeed, there was a bomb on it.
Julius Reed got into another car, sat down, and drove straight toward Gonzalez City!
Ah, Gonzalez City, the place where it all began.
Now, back again.
