Since Midi’er and Leguxiya hadn’t come, Long Yi and his party returned to Xingxing’s house. Fortunately, all dragons had their own exclusive territories, and under normal circ.u.mstances, they would not visit each other. Therefore, staying here, Long Yi and his party didn’t have to worry about other dragons finding them.
At this moment, Teresa and Liuli sat in wooden chairs under the eaves. They chatted while looking at one big and one small figure playing noisily in the garden with big smiles on their faces.
“In these several hundred years, this is the first time I’ve seen Xingxing so happy. Long Yi seems to like children very much,” Teresa said with a smile, her eyes filled with warmth. At this moment, she was truly grateful that these people had come here and filled this desolate island with laughter.
“He himself is a child sometimes; naturally, he likes children,” Liuli sipped a mouthful of tea and said, but her eyes were following Long Yi’s figure. As long as he was beside her, she would feel at ease and that this world wasn’t lonely and bitter. He was a very peculiar person. With him around, no one could avoid laughing heartily. He always disguised himself with a roguish look and a bad manner, making people hate yet also love him, but once in a while, his eyes unintentionally showed a hint of sadness, making her understand that there actually was a place in his heart that no one could touch. Perhaps, that place held his truest essence and was his softest and weakest place.
“If you hadn’t told me, I would truly never guess that he was the manipulator behind-the-scenes of the unification of Blue Waves Continent and is someone who conquered the continent but was unwilling to be bound by it.” Teresa looked at Long Yi in the garden who wore a bright smile comparable to the sunlight and said. She couldn’t understand him. She knew the cruelty of the war. For the unification of the entire Blue Waves Continent, many people would have to die and blood would need to be shed. After experiencing everything, how could he still have such a bright smile?
“He has a soul that yearns the most for unfettered freedom without any restraints.” Liuli smiled gently, and her eyes blurred a little. This was her man, and he was also the man who couldn’t be replaced in the hearts of her sisters.
Teresa looked at the blurred eyes of Liuli and smiled, shaking her head. She could see her own shadow from those years past in Liuli. A woman who had fallen in love was not rational, one might even say that, just like a moth darting into a flame, she knew perfectly well that she would be destroyed in the end, but she still couldn’t stop flying closer.
Long Yi however didn’t know what these two women were talking, he was just happily playing with Little Xingxing. Playing together with a child made his heart filled with a child’s innocence. He felt as if the pureness of a child was washing away his tainted soul.
“Big brother Long, you are shameless, hehe…… don’t……” In the bosom of Long Yi, Little Xingxing twisted around, not letting Long Yi tickle her. Now, she was laughing so hard that her cheeks had turned bright red.
“Fine, don’t you want to play, are you tired?” Long Yi smiled and stopped. Then, lying down in the midst of the garden, he looked at that clear, cloudless sky and took a deep breath. In his heart, he was thinking, if he could take all his women to a place with flowers as far as the eye could see someday, then how wonderful that would be.
Seeing Long Yi had lied down, Xingxing climbed onto him and caressing his bread stubble, she said: “Big brother Long, will you accompany me and my mother hereafter?” She had never been so happy, because of this, she feared to lose this. She feared that big brother Long Yi who made her felt the fatherly warmth would suddenly disappear.
“Well, this big brother cannot stay here forever, but when I have to leave, I will definitely take Xingxing with me, is that okay? In this world, there are many amusing places.” Long Yi smiled and said, stroking the soft golden hair of Little Xingxing.
“Then, will my mother go too? If my mother has to live here alone, then she will be lonelier.” Little Xingxing said with expectation.
“Yes, your mother is inseparable from Xingxing and Xingxing is also inseparable from your mother, so naturally, everyone will go together.” Long Yi said with a smile.
“Big brother Long, you are so nice.” Little Xingxing cheered and kissed his face, then ran towards her mother to tell her this good news.
……………
It had already been three days but there was no news of Midi’er and Leguxiya. This made Long Yi felt a bit restless, could it be that Dragon King noticed something? But, if that was truly the case, then how come there was not even a bit of movement?
Late at night, suddenly a clap of thunder resounded and after dark clouds condensed, there was heavy rain. The sea waves became more and more intense and the wind blew stronger and stronger. Some small trees were uprooted and sent flying.
At this moment, tired Xingxing was sleeping in the warm bosom of Long Yi with a sweet smile. In the past, she greatly feared this kind of thunderstorm weather, but now, with a warm bosom of Long Yi protecting her, she felt like that whistling fierce wind had become a lullaby.
As for Long Yi, he half lied on the bed and was pondering about the countermeasures. In any case, he couldn’t wait here endlessly. He must figure out what had happened on the main island.
While Long Yi was pondering, the door of his room suddenly opened with a creak. Long Yi who had the ability to clearly see in the dark saw that it was Teresa. He was somewhat amazed in his heart. He had never thought that Teresa would run over so late at night to devote herself.
“Aren’t you asleep?” Seeing the eyes of Long Yi, the heart of Teresa jumped and she asked softly.
“Is there something wrong?” Long Yi asked. Clearly, there must be a reason for Teresa to look for him so late at night.
“Don’t you want to go to the main island? Tonight is the golden opportunity.” Teresa softly said.
The eyebrows of Long Yi shot up and he gently jumped off the bed, then walking out of the room with Teresa, he asked: “Do you have a way?”
“In this kind of weather, a few thousand meters below Divine Dragon Main Island, a freshwater undercurrent would gush out, and the opening of this freshwater undercurrent is linked with a lake located at the center of the main island. But, after a period of time, this freshwater current will produce a kind of suction force and the opening would close quickly afterward. As long as you can seize that moment and jump into that suction force, you will be directly sucked into that lake of Divine Dragon Main Island. Like this, detection magic arrays of the island will not detect you all.” Teresa said.
“Really? Is there truly such a place? Merely, do Dragon King and Elders know about this?” Long Yi was pleasantly surprised.
“This method of entry and exit is useable only in thunderstorm weather, I had accidentally found this way when I went to that lake to take bath. At that time, I used this way to sneak out of Divine Dragon Archipelago and go to Divine Dragon Continent, I think no one else should know about this.” Teresa said with a smile, remembering the past.
“Then, what are we waiting for? I will go and wake them up now.” Long Yi impatiently said in fear that that undercurrent exit would close.
In the midst of heavy rain storm and strong gale, Teresa led Long Yi’s group of four to the sea. And since all of them had good swimming ability, they quickly sneaked into undercurrent surge deep in the sea under the guidance of Teresa.
Sure enough, just like Teresa had said, in the depth of the sea, there was a powerful freshwater undercurrent gushing out from a hole, and the seawater around that area was clear, truly was peculiar.
Not long after that, this gushing out freshwater suddenly stopped for a moment, and as if it encountered a huge suction force, the water began to flow black rapidly.
“Now is the time, quickly jump in.” Teresa said.
Since they were already here, Long Yi naturally believed Teresa. He jumped in pulling Liuli without any hesitation. And Barbarian Bull and Li Qing followed closely behind, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Not long after, the suction force disappeared and the big hole at the depth of the sea quietly closed.
Long Yi held his breath. He only felt like that suction force was pulling him several hundred meters down, then he suddenly began to rise up and shortly afterward, slammed into the lake.
Long Yi pulled Liuli to the surface and heard the sounds of raindrops. .h.i.tting the lake surface.
Not long after, the heads of Barbarian Bull and Li Qing also popped out of the water surface. Then, four people quietly swam towards the sh.o.r.e of this lake with tacit agreement.
Divine Dragon Main Island was very big, it seemed that it was bigger than all the other islands combined together. But, only Dragon King, his family, seven Great Elders, their family and a few dragon guards lived here. Their numbers add up to less than one hundred. Moreover, with thunder and lightning accompanied by heavy rain tonight, all of them should have gone to their cave to sleep.
The four people safely landed on the sh.o.r.e.
Then, in the dense forest, they found a concealed small cave. Because of the huge build of dragons, they usually didn’t linger in this kind of dense forest, therefore they were a lot safer in this small cave.
“Boss, are we going to steal Dragon King Seal?” Barbarian Bull asked.
Long Yi hit the head of Barbarian Bull and coldly said: “Steal a frat, we don’t know anything about the circ.u.mstance of this island, the most important matter now is to figure out the terrain and find Midi’er siblings.”
Barbarian Bull rubbed his head and just smiled. He was full of valor and vigor. His blood boiled for battle, but he completely ignored all kinds of stratagem.
“So, I will go out first to scout the terrain, as for you all, stay here and be sure to not leak your aura.” Long Yi warned, then disappeared into the forest.
Long Yi looked all around for high ground and saw the highest peak that pierced through the cloud far away from his position. That peak was very likely to be the place where Dragon King resided. And it was reasonable to say that Midi’er siblings should also be there. Other than this highest peak, there were many other big and small peaks on this island. And further away, it was covered with a hazy mist so he couldn’t see the ends of this island.
The area of this main island was somewhat beyond the expectation of Long Yi. If he wanted to clearly understand the terrain of such a big island, then it would take a long time. It seemed that he needed to find Midi’er siblings first. It would be much easier to accomplish their task with their help.
Long Yi flew towards the highest peak of this island. He used his spirit power to create a barrier around him so as to avoid leaking out his aura. According to Midi’er, her father, Divine Dragon King, was the person who had the most prospect in several ten thousand years to breakthrough to Dragon G.o.d realm. So, Long Yi could a.s.sume that he was very powerful. Perhaps, he might be able to sense and enter the alert state if he leaked even a bit of his aura.
Not long after, Long Yi arrived at the foot of this highest peak. And walking forward a little, he suddenly stopped and quietly blended into the shadow behind a big tree.
At the foot of this mountain, there were dragon guards. Although they were sleeping most of the time, their spirit power always covered the area they should guard.
“It seems it is somewhat troublesome.” Long Yi thought. These few dragon guards were very powerful and their spirit power was also not weak. One should know that the perception of spirit power was very sensitive, even if he had completely retracted his aura, as long as he made any movement, he would be noticed. Long Yi could use his Great Cosmos Shift to teleport a few hundred meters, but the problem was, the spirit power of these dragon guards covered more than several hundred meters.
Long Yi had studied s.p.a.ce magic a little. Although it was somewhat troublesome, if there was no mistake, then he could teleport to halfway up the mountain from his current position without any problem, but the critical point was using s.p.a.ce magic gave rise to a powerful magic fluctuation and it would be noticed easily.
“Honglong” A clap of thunder resounded throughout the sky and several bolts of lightning streak across the sky, leaving behind flashes of silver light.
The eyes of Long Yi shone, in this kind of thunderstorm weather, lightning magic elements should be considered normal. He smiled sinisterly.
With a thought, lightning magic elements within the sea of consciousness of Long Yi spread out and begun to gather dense lightning magic elements in the air.
The dark clouds in the sky were getting denser and denser, and the wind and rain were also getting all the more violent.
“How come this summer rain is going on for so long? In addition, it is getting bigger and bigger.” A dragon guard in a huge cave located at the foot of the mountain muttered to himself.
Crackle, a bolt of silverish purple lightning struck a huge rock in front of this dragon guard’s cave and was shattered into pieces. This shocked this dragon guard.
But, this was just the beginning, a series of lightning streak across the sky and dozens of lightning struck around the cave of this dragon guard in succession. He was so scared that he shrunk back into his cave.
“Without any reason, why on earth are you striking at my side? Could it be that Heaven is jealous of my too handsome looks?” This dragon guard never thought that someone was using lightning magic to attack him. The first reason was there was no one in Dragon Race that could use lightning magic, and the second reason was he never thought that someone could sneak into this main island without anybody knowing and without triggering any detection magic arrays.
Suddenly, along with an explosion sound, the cave entrance collapsed under the lightning strikes. This dragon guard was trapped inside this cave.
Seeing this, this dragon guard cursed in his heart and retracted his spirit power. And in that brief moment, Long Yi used his Great Cosmos Shift and darted towards the peak.
As for that dragon guard, he used his dragon tail to sweep off the debris blocking the cave entrance, then he spread out his spirit power again to cover the area he had to guard. He didn’t know that an outsider had already gone up the mountain.
