Chapter 396: Disappearance of the Forsaken Maze (1)
When Ao Jin was attacked, killing intent flashed in his golden eyes. Before he could counterattack, he detected another killing aura. He narrowed his eyes, only to find that Meatball had opened its mouth and its teeth were glittering. Ao Jin trembled. That little creature could ignore his physical defense, and would cause blood if it bit! He instantly put Yun Feng down on the ground, and looked at Qu Lanyi. “Who are you? And… what’s that?” Ao Jin narrowed his eyes and asked Qu Lanyi, glancing at the heavy fog. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the golden pupils in the fog. Golden eyes… Were they the symbol of the Golden Dragons? Could it be…
“She’s a friend, who risked her life to come to my rescue,” said Yun Feng quickly. She stood next to Qu Lanyi and said, “He is Ao Jin. He’s my… friend.” Yun Feng didn’t reveal Ao Jin’s identity as a Golden Dragon. However, Qu Lanyi put on a smile. “The Golden Dragons deserve their fame! Your scales are the hardest defense.”
Yun Feng was dazed for a moment. Had Qu Lanyi seen through Ao Jin’s identity? Or was Ao Jin exposed? No, that was not the case. So, Qu Lanyi seemed to know a lot of things. It wasn’t easy to recognize Ao Jin’s identity so quickly.
Meatball nuzzled against Yun Feng’s cheeks. Its fur made Yun Feng feel itchy. She gently stroked Meatball, and Meatball looked at Qu Lanyi curiously with its big black eyes.
“You’ve seen through my identity?” Ao Jin raised his brows, with his golden hair glimmering. “Where are you from?”
Qu Lanyi smiled. “I came from a remote place that’s not worth mentioning. On the other hand, Fengfeng is a good friend to a Golden Dragon. She’s truly lucky.”
Yun Feng put on an awkward smile. There was a history between her and the dragons. She was only close to Ao Jin. She didn’t forget Yan Yu and Xiao Ling, who tried to kill her in the Dragon Palace.
“Girl, there’s something else I need to ask you. However, another thing needs to be figured out first.” Ao Jin looked at Yun Feng, and Yun Feng nodded. She suddenly realized that both Ao Jin and this ancient creature had golden pupils. Was this ancient creature related to the dragons? Yun Feng couldn’t see the actual size of the creature, so she couldn’t tell what it was.
Ao Jin immediately soared and stood in the sky, confronting the heavy fog. Seeing how easily Ao Jin was floating in the sky, Yun Feng clicked her tongue. Ao Jin was extremely gifted. As a precious Golden Dragon, he had been cultivating and making progress fast. After only a couple of years, he had already surpassed the Commander Level, and was probably already in the Monarch Level.
Last time Yun Feng met him, he was already in the Commander Level. After these years, he had made progress again, and was still stronger than her. However, it didn’t occur to Yun Feng that she had risen to the final stage of the Commander Level from level 7 in only three years. She was actually even more gifted.
Qu Lanyi pulled Yun Feng back. Both of them simply watched. Ever since Ao Jin showed up, this unknown creature seemed to have become a lot more obedient, and didn’t make any sound.
Ao Jin stared at the creature’s golden pupils and coldly declared, “Why do you carry the Golden Dragons’ golden pupils? Reveal yourself, or I’ll beat you up!”
Ao Jin’s furious voice echoed in the space. Yun Feng was dazed for a moment. Was that creature not a Golden Dragon? Qu Lanyi said softly, “The Golden Dragons are the noblest of dragons and extremely rare. They’re all kings of the dragons. Also, the Golden Dragons do not have many offspring. When the old Golden Dragons die, they’ll be buried in the Dragon Valley. All dragons will relentlessly attack whoever steals the bodies. The Golden Dragons are the pride and honor of dragons. If that creature is a Golden Dragon, then it’s fine. If it’s not, then…”
Yun Feng understood. It was indeed worth questioning if a creature that was not a Golden Dragon carried the Golden Dragons’ pupils. That creature must’ve stolen the noble bloodline of the Golden Dragons, or even just gouged out the Golden Dragons’ eyes. No wonder Ao Jin is so angry.
If the creature revealed itself not to be a Golden Dragon, Ao Jin would surely go on a killing spree…
The ancient creature didn’t make any sound. It didn’t seem to be trying to resist either. It was very obedient. There was no telling whether it was because of the heavy wound, or because Ao Jin was here. In front of Yun Feng, the heavy fog that shrouded the creature dispersed, and it gradually revealed its true self on the enormous square.
After the heavy fog dispersed and the ancient creature revealed itself, all three of them were dumbfounded. Yun Feng blinked his eyes, Qu Lanyi was shocked, and Ao Jin’s eyes were widened too. The creature was none other than a real dragon!
It showed up in front of the three people with a dragon’s body identical to any other dragons’. However, its scales were all black and gray. None of its scales were pure. It looked like the most inferior product.
Ao Jin looked up at the dragon whose scales had mixed colors. It was quite enormous, and occupied most of the space in the square. It had obviously lived for a long time. Ao Jin looked at its golden pupils, unable to say anything. It was a dragon, with the most inferior bloodline, yet it carried the pupils of the Golden Dragons!
“You…” Ao Jin was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything. What was going on? Was it a Golden Dragon? If not, why did it have the Golden Dragons’ pupils?
“Are you the current young master of the dragons?” asked the creature. Ao Jin nodded, and narrowed his golden pupils. “Are you a hybrid dragon or a Golden Dragon?”
