Yang Xiao had originally expected that after Xue Dong’s death, his remaining brothers would fight each other for the position of the boss, and when they were mutually wounded, he would take his people over to swiftly capture Xiangfan City, significantly reducing casualties among the common warriors.
However, he did not anticipate that Xue Dong’s n would split into three factions, with one faction led by Dai Peng willing to surrender to him.
At this mont, Yang Xiao was observing monsters from the summit of the mountain peak.
He had been watching for three days straight and noticed that this monster would fly into the clouds to play every morning and then dive into the lake, not erging again.
"I have a bold idea,"
Yang Xiao said.
Monk Ben Yin looked at Yang Xiao and laughed:
"Amitabha, I’m guessing in my past life as a monk I must have begged alms at your house and owed you a favor, that’s why in this life I’m destined to repay you with my very life."
Yang Xiao laughed:
"You’re exaggerating. I just want to take a closer look at this monster. If I don’t figure out the situation, I won’t be able to eat or sleep when I get back. Aren’t you curious at all?"
"Alright, I’ll go along with you, but I must remind you, curiosity killed the cat. You need to keep a good asure of your actions."
"Don’t worry, I know you want to return to secular life and start a family. I won’t let you die here in confusion."
"Amitabha, you’re talking nonsense again! When did I ever say I wanted to return to secular life and start a family? Cough... What’s your plan to get close to this Giant Dragon?"
"I’ve observed for three days and noticed sothing. This monster has a very fixed daily routine. Roughly around 9 in the morning every day, it would fly into the clouds and play for about an hour before diving back into the lake. I plan to sneak to the forest not far from the lake edge early tomorrow morning."
Yang Xiao pointed with his hand. The valley was full of tall ancient trees, suitable for hiding.
"Moreover, have you noticed that because of this Super Monster acting as the overlord, there are no large monsters within a few dozen kiloters in this valley, only so small monsters. I dare to say that within five kiloters from the lake edge, even rabbit and mouse-like monsters are rare."
"You still haven’t told how we’re going to get there."
"Don’t rush, I’m getting to the main point, what I ntioned before was just an analysis of the environnt,"
Yang Xiao laughed:
"Early tomorrow morning, we’ll ride the Giant Eagle and fly straight there. We’ll land in the forest near the lake. Even if the monster notices our presence, the Giant Eagle can fly away instantly. Once the Giant Eagle flies off, the monster won’t expect us to be lurking nearby."
"How are we going to return then?"
"I guess the monster will take a nap at noon?" Yang Xiao said with a laugh.
Monk Ben Yin rolled his eyes at Yang Xiao, "How would you know that?"
"We’ll just have the Giant Eagle co over and pick us up directly, there shouldn’t be any danger."
"Don’t forget that the Giant Dragon can fly, too, and it’s not slower than the Giant Eagle."
Monk Ben Yin said indifferently.
Yang Xiao hesitated for a mont and said:
"Is our luck really that bad?"
Monk Ben Yin, feeling helpless, could only sigh and resolved to keep company with this fool, deciding if he had to die, he’d die alongside Yang Xiao.
The next morning, as soon as the sun erged, Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin took the Giant Eagle and flew towards the distant lakeside.
About ten minutes later, the Giant Eagle reached the forest about a kiloter away from the lake and slowly descended onto the canopy of a giant tree.
The Giant Eagle was not light, and with a crunch, it broke dozens of branches.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin quickly jumped down and hid themselves in the dense canopy.
The Giant Eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky again, swiftly flying back to the mountain peak it ca from, as if escaping from sothing.
At that mont, from the distant lake, there ca a loud splash, and huge waves churned on the water as a monstrous head erged from the lake.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin held their breath in tension, their hearts thumping rapidly in their chests.
The Monster that rose from the lake had a head that was over ten ters long, closely resembling the head of a Dragon from legends.
"Holy shit, is that really a Dragon?"
Yang Xiao roared inwardly.
The Monster peeking out from the lake glanced in the direction of the forest where Yang Xiao was hiding, then looked up at the Giant Eagle now far away, paused for several seconds, before diving back into the lake.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin exchanged looks, both feeling incredibly lucky. It seed the Monster’s senses were sharper than they had anticipated; the Giant Eagle had only broken a few branches when it landed on the canopy, yet the Monster could hear it even from under the water?
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin dared not breathe heavily, much less speak, fearing that the Monster in the lake would discover them.
After the dragon-shaped Monster subrged, it didn’t re-erge. The two of them waited for over three hours until around nine o’clock when suddenly, a loud splash ca from the lake – the Monster leaped out of the water and flew to mid-air.
In that instant it erged from the water, Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin were both stunned by the Monster.
A hundred ters in length, with four powerful claws, a long tail, and a head that strikingly resembled a Dragon from legends, it was exactly like the Dragons typically seen in book illustrations.
This was really a Dragon!
The Silver Snake Giant Dragon flew into the clouds above the lake and began its playful frolics.
Then, Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin quietly began to converse.
"What do you think, is it a True Dragon?"
"Yeah, it must be."
"So, what are you planning to do? Kill it?"
Monk Ben Yin looked at Yang Xiao with a taunting expression.
"If it pisses off, I might have the heart to kill it. Too bad, no cellphone, no network, damn, if I could livestream this, it would be so cool, definitely the biggest news of the year."
"You, always dreaming about fa,"
"Shh, quiet down,"
...
The two hid in the dense tree canopy, stealthily observing for an hour, until the Silver Snake Giant Dragon subrged into the lake once more.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin sat on a tree fork, idly watching the lake surface, waiting for the Giant Eagle to co and take them away at noon.
They hadn’t seen any larger mutated animals nearby; probably the usual animals had been scared away by the Divine Dragon’s King’s Aura, not daring to linger here.
The Giant Eagle earlier, upon landing, seed to have sensed the aura of the Silver Snake Giant Dragon as well and imdiately flew away desperately.
Yang Xiao had told the Giant Eagle to co pick him up around noonti.
Around noon, the Giant Eagle flew down from the peak of the mountain and hovered above the forest where Yang Xiao was perched, then slowly descended.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin didn’t dare delay and jumped onto the Giant Eagle’s back. Just as the Giant Eagle spread its vast wings, preparing to take off, there was a sudden loud splash from the nearby lake, and the Silver Snake Giant Dragon violently burst halfway out of the water, rising over twenty ters above the surface, looking at the Giant Eagle.
