Chapter 284 Want to Talk to Him
Ancient bloodline?
Is it awakening?
Li Muyang’s mind was stirred, and he immediately listened intently.
He had just encountered a Flood Dragon with an ancient true dragon bloodline in the game and now was eager to know where that Flood Dragon might be.
Does this Flood Dragon really exist in reality too?
But Ning Wan’er mentioned quite a bit of news, yet it all consisted of mysterious and speculative rumors, without any solid evidence.
Stories like a phoenix appearing in the south, a mystical bird crying in the sea, and a Kunpeng emerging in the north…
Li Muyang listened to all of it, shaking his head internally.
Even if there were ancient bloodlines emerging into the world, it wouldn’t be possible for supreme divine beasts to appear so soon.
Most ancient bloodlines had only just awakened. The Flood Dragon of the True Dragon Bloodline nearly met its demise under the steel fork of a mortal fisherman, and other divine beast bloodlines couldn’t possibly start at a full level upon awakening.
After finishing his meal, Li Muyang listened to two girls idly chatting for a while. He noticed their conversation topic shifted from the awakening of divine beast bloodlines to gossip about which sect of the Immortals and Demons had the most handsome young men and which prodigy was most prominent, then Li Muyang excused himself and left.
He returned to his room and decided not to waste any more time; he began to meditate and refine Spiritual Energy.
As a Direct Disciple, his meals consisted of top-quality Spirit Rice and various other comparable Spiritual Object delicacies, providing him with generous treatment.
Li Muyang felt the robust Spiritual Energy surging within him, continuously guiding it into his Dantian Qi Sea, converging into the dazzling, burning star within.
Soon, the Spiritual Energy was fully refined.
The powerful spiritual energy refining speed of the Ghostly Demon Technique, combined with the potent core fire of the Core Formation Realm, made the Spiritual Energy refining process extremely fast.
Li Muyang closed his eyes and entered the game.
“Dragonkin’s Awakening” was still counting down, so he could only enter “Little Wild Grass.”
He entered the game and resumed his mundane daily routine of wandering the world and visiting mountains and waters with Little Wild Grass, waiting for the moment when “Dragonkin’s Awakening” Second Phase would unlock.
…
[“Dragonkin’s Awakening” Act Two is now available. Would you like to enter?]
[Yes/No]
When this system prompt popped up in his field of vision, Li Muyang immediately switched games and entered “Dragonkin’s Awakening.”
The familiar CG main interface displayed a true dragon roaring in the heavens, wielding thunder and heavenly fire, slaughtering the vast spectral shadows on the ground.
Li Muyang entered the game, and the familiar sensation of weightlessness struck him immediately.
The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the body of the Flood Dragon once again.
However, the Flood Dragon was not in the same spot where he had last logged off.
The pristine white Flood Dragon lay motionless in the shadow of the water grass, which was as big as a small creek.
This small creek connected to a vast river outside, yet the creek was shallow, only about one meter deep. Although there were dense water grasses, no fish or shrimp could be seen.
It was somewhat difficult for the two-meter-long Flood Dragon to hide in such a confined space.
It had nearly completely concealed itself within the water grass, appearing somewhat awkward.
Realizing his predicament, Li Muyang was immediately taken aback.
“Why am I here? Was I swept over by the water?”
The Praying Mantis would remain frozen in place when he logged off, waiting for him to log back in.
Thus, every time Li Muyang logged off, he would have the Praying Mantis dig a hole to hide underground.
Lacking the Praying Mantis’s sharp claws, Li Muyang had chosen to hide in a dark and hidden stone fissure to log off.
However, he didn’t expect that after 24 hours, his body would end up in such a mysteriously odd place.
As Li Muyang pondered, a simultaneous recitation suddenly came from above.
It was from a private school beside the small creek. At that moment, children in the school were holding books, following their teacher in a loud recitation.
The crisp, pleasant sound of the children reading, pass through the surface and enter underwater, had become dull and faint.
But the Flood Dragon’s powerful hearing managed to catch the sounds clearly.
Li Muyang chuckled and swam away from the area with a smile.
The clear and orderly sound of reading was indeed pleasing to the mind, reminding him of his childhood days of study.
He didn’t dislike these sounds of reading.
However, it wasn’t suitable to stay here for long, so Li Muyang swam quietly along a one-meter-deep ditch, trying to keep a low profile and avoid drawing the attention of people on the banks.
If someone discovered a Flood Dragon in the little ditch, it would create too much of a commotion.
It might even attract the townsfolk to capture the Flood Dragon, as, after all, a two-meter-long dragon was manageable for humans and considered a rare find.
The game had just begun, and Li Muyang didn’t want to increase the difficulty for himself.
Fortunately, this little ditch was somewhat secluded, with almost no pedestrians on the banks.
Li Muyang swam stealthily along the ditch and soon entered a canal within the city.
Canopied boats bustled on the canal, and the banks were bustling with human voices.
But this time, the channel was deep, and Li Muyang swam along the riverbed without worrying about being spotted.
Opening the character interface, he saw that the Hunger level of the Flood Dragon was almost at its limit and shook his head.
If he didn’t log in soon, the dragon might not starve to death, but the continuous drain from the “External Injury” debuff and the lack of hunted food for nutrition might lead to death from the injuries.
Li Muyang swam along the river channel, entering the vast river outside the city and targeted the large, nutrient-rich prey in the river to launch his attacks.
Being two meters long and having evolved a toxin, Li Muyang’s hunting range had significantly increased.
He continuously attacked prey, strangling the aquatic animals that roamed the river, accumulating experience points.
Although the game content was monotonous, this mode of hunting underwater was quite novel.
Li Muyang played for a long time until a prompt appeared in his vision, and he was surprised and frozen.
“Dragonkin’s Awakening” playtime has ended, and you will be logged out shortly.
Time until the next session: 23:59:59
“Ah? Logging out again?”
Feeling the forced logout, Li Muyang opened his eyes within the Flying Boat, somewhat speechless.
“This game even has anti-addiction measures? Forces a logout after playing for a certain amount of time?”
Such a system setting is somewhat absurd— I’m not a minor, so what’s with the anti-addiction nonsense?
Li Muyang sighed speechlessly, just then hearing his sister Li Yuechan’s voice from outside the house.
“Bro! Dinner’s ready!”
Another mealtime had arrived, and Li Muyang had unknowingly played for an entire day and night in the game.
Putting the game aside for now, he got up to have dinner.
Meanwhile, in the rivers of the northern Tianyuan Continent, the Flood Dragon that had just consumed a giant softshell turtle shuddered violently.
Then, the Flood Dragon hurriedly turned its head, looking around in all directions.
She tried to find the figure of the person who had left.
But, just as his arrival had been silent, his departure was equally noiseless, with no signs at all.
Unable to find his trace, the Flood Dragon in the river instantly felt lost.
She thought she might speak with him this time.
But he still ignored her…
Why? Was it because she couldn’t speak human language? Was that why she was shunned?
Thinking of the private school by the small ditch, the Flood Dragon pondered for a moment, then immediately turned around and headed toward the school.
She was determined to learn human language and speak with that person!
