Chapter 143: A New Life

The glowing scale inside the lantern had come from the dead dragon lying before him.

It lay on the ground in a peaceful posture, as though it were merely asleep rather than reduced to dry bones.

Veed was not even as large as one of the dragon’s teeth. Before this creature, he seemed so tiny that he might have been no more than a grain of rice.

Just how had it died?

Veed reached out and stroked the dragon’s bones. It was difficult to imagine what this dragon must have been like when it was still alive...

Fortunately, Zhang Hao gave Fang Ruxue a definite answer. Otherwise, Fang Ruxue would have had to keep parrying her good friend’s questions. Upon hearing that the supply was stable and that more goods would arrive soon, Li Ruyan nodded in satisfaction, though she still felt that putting them up for auction would be best.

At first, he had been hostile toward Chu Feng. But after witnessing Chu Feng’s strength, he had become utterly convinced and knew that Chu Feng truly deserved his reputation.

Although there was a dragon vein beneath Mount Longhu, the operation of the Dragon-Tiger Formation had still been affected by the absorption of the great glutton known as the Xuanyuan Sword.

After leaving the Monster Zone, Ed changed direction according to plan. Along the way, he encountered several traps, but his sense of danger enabled him to detect them all. At last, he finally left Mount Mangka and arrived in an unknown region.

Xin Lei, in particular, was the weakest of the three. With only the second level of the Mortal Transformation realm, he could not withstand the force of Chu Feng’s strike at all. He was killed on the spot, dead as a doornail.

“Wu Yang, don’t do that. They’re watching.”

Hera tried hard to maintain a serious expression, but her face had already turned slightly red.

Andy proposed a way to prove whether the sheep had eaten the wheat seedlings: kill the sheep. If wheat seedlings were found in its stomach, the Matt family would compensate them. If there were none, the Carter family would compensate them with a sheep.

Marquis Oldman’s communication crystal ball had remained open from the beginning of the battle until his men were killed. Among the mercenaries who had come from his territory were some of his own people, who described what had happened. There had been magical damage of unknown origin, and a mage had suddenly been killed. No arrows had been seen, and the manner of death was the same as Garsen’s.

The elderly man, well past fifty, drove the prisoners onward while shouting loudly.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang immediately nodded. Zhang Hao pulled out a rag and stared coldly at Director Wang in the darkness. He saw Director Wang open his mouth, preparing to call for help, and promptly stuffed the rag into his mouth. Another silver needle slipped into Director Wang’s body.

“Three minutes of protection. I only hope they take their time getting here.”

Muttering inwardly, Qian Cheng could only stare at the pile of equipment before him and drool in secret.

I raised my hand to block the sunlight before I could open my eyes, and even then everything was still hazy. Suddenly, I felt something strange. There seemed to be something in my arms. I squeezed it. It was soft and fleshy, almost as though it were a person.

I immediately took out my phone and dialed the number I had asked Tan Xi for before leaving at noon.

While the two of them were talking, Ilina asked the others what they thought. To her surprise, all the accompanying soldiers actually wanted to travel with Xianglong and the others to the Royal City of Belia.

I had been seriously wounded while serving in the Upper Legion. Half the teeth in my mouth had been smashed out by an expert who had joined a group to rob the Gods and Ghosts Black Market with a heavy hammer. In this condition, I could no longer continue serving in the Upper Legion, so the clan chief arranged for me to work here and earn a little money to support my family.

“Look at me. Look at me.”

Angel walked up to Peng Haoming, but Peng Haoming turned his gaze away.

That night, Bai Chi brought Bai Zhixuan to the woods south of the city. The forest was vast, and no human voices could be heard there after dark—only the sound of the wind and the cries of ghosts.

Cui Shenshi was a cautious man. Until he was certain that the intruders had been eliminated or defeated, he was unwilling to reveal the location where he was hiding.

After hearing this, several dark lines seemed to appear on Gailuo’s forehead. He then kicked Xianglong in the crotch, snorted coldly, turned around, and strode away.
