Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Greedy and Cunning

This dive was astoundingly swift.

It must be understood that here, the Golden Dragon’s pre-established rules suppressed everything; not only could almighty beings like the Great Sacrificial Heaven or those Ascending to Saint Position not fly, but their abilities were also significantly restrained. And within the Golden Dragon’s body, a separate domain formed, where at the very least elemental powers could not be utilized.

Yet this Purple Gold Rat seemed unaffected, suddenly bursting forth with astonishing speed, pouncing straight for the Dragon Marrow Fruit!

Indeed, this creature was two-faced and insatiably greedy.

It aimed to monopolize the Dragon Marrow Bone!

As the fruit was right before its eyes, and the rat had already opened its mouth wide, it suddenly revealed an expression of shock.

Because it actually stopped in its tracks.

How could this be!

"Dead rat, I knew you were up to no good!" Shi Hao came over, speaking fiercely, "All the Dragon Marrow being eaten by you is utter nonsense! If you could eat a mouthful of Dragon Marrow, you could certainly eat all of it! So, you must have been hiding in the heart chamber, not daring to make a move, but you knew that the Spirit Medicine had absorbed all the Dragon Marrow, and that’s why you tricked us into coming here!"

This dead rat knew the Golden Dragon Corpse inside out but was no match for the Corpse-Eating Insects, so it could only hide within the heart chamber. Therefore, upon discovering that Shi Feng and his son had broken in, it immediately resorted to lies and manipulation.

The Purple Gold Rat was dumbfounded for a moment before saying, "Are you really just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old kid?"

Shi Hao chuckled: "And are you just a newborn little rat?"

"Hahaha!" The man and the rat suddenly burst into laughter.

But in the next moment, the rat met with disaster, as Shi Hao slapped it away.

"This rat doesn’t have a single true statement coming out of its mouth, we must interrogate it properly!" said Shi Hao.

"Hmm," Shi Feng nodded, grabbing the Purple Gold Rat. With his strength, the Purple Gold Rat truly had no chance at all.

"Kid, how did you stop me just now?" The Purple Gold Rat couldn’t understand, as it wasn’t Shi Feng but Shi Hao who had stopped it!

But this was strange, as this place was clearly suppressed by the Golden Dragon Principles.

Shi Hao, of course, would not reveal that he had confined the Purple Gold Rat with his own Little Star Universe, and with his cultivation level, capturing the Purple Gold Rat was a piece of cake.

"Your elder will always be your elder," he laughed.

"Your elder’s elder!" The Purple Gold Rat bristled and glared, "Back in the day when I was renowned across the world, your ancestors didn’t even know where to suckle!"

"Dead rat, you truly haven’t uttered a single truth!" Shi Hao pointed at the Purple Gold Rat.

The Purple Gold Rat’s demeanor instantly deflated, and it revealed a sycophantic smile: "Hehehe, really, I don’t remember past events. I just have these vague impressions that occasionally come to the surface."

Shi Hao didn’t bother with it any longer and started picking the Dragon Marrow Fruit. Once he had harvested all seven, the entire plant suddenly withered, turning into a rotten mess, devoid of even a hint of spirit.

Huh, all of its essence must have nourished the fruit. Hence, as soon as the fruit was gone, the plant itself turned into common grass.

Shi Hao first placed the Dragon Marrow Fruits into the Immortal Abode; it was capable of preserving living things and also a creation of the Immortal Realm’s Almighties. It was bound to be more effective in keeping the Spirit Fruits fresh than any regular Spatial Spirit Tool.

He and Shi Feng were father and son; naturally, they didn’t mind who kept the Dragon Marrow Fruits.

Even more so, Shi Feng wouldn’t mind if Shi Hao enjoyed the Spirit Fruits all on his own.

Watching all this, the Purple Gold Rat revealed envious eyes, licking its lips involuntarily.

"Rat, is there anything else worthwhile here?" Shi Hao asked the Purple Gold Rat.

The Purple Gold Rat sighed: "Please, this is a corpse, do you think it’s a treasure trove?"

Dragon Blood and Dragon Marrow were the most valuable things inside the Golden Dragon, with what remained being Dragon Meat, Dragon Tendon, and Dragon Scales. But the Dragon Meat had already spoiled, which is why the Corpse-Eating Insects appeared. And as for the Dragon Tendons and Dragon Scales, with their current capabilities, they couldn’t be retrieved at all.

Therefore, although the Golden Dragon Corpse was still a treasure, it had become unattainable for them.

"It’s time to go."

"Yes."

Father and son retraced their path, while the Purple Gold Rat relentlessly pursued them; since Shi Hao had taken the Dragon Marrow Fruit, it naturally followed closely behind him.

When the two of them returned to the heart of the dragon’s body, Shi Feng suddenly stopped.

"Someone is coming!" he said in a low voice.

No sooner had he spoken than Shi Hao also sensed a powerful presence approaching.

He looked ahead and saw a group of seven people walking slowly toward them, yet despite their leisurely strides, their speed was astonishingly fast, creating a stark contrast that made Shi Hao feel dizzy.

Heaven Building Ladder!

He immediately deduced that all seven of them were Almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder.

Looking at their feet, they seemed to step on the ground, but in reality, they were hovering in the air.

In this place, they could ignore the Golden Dragon Principles’ suppression, confirming that they were undoubtedly Almighties of the Heaven Building Ladder.

Because in the Mortal Realm, the strongest were those of the Heaven Building Ladder. Even a Golden Dragon could not break the limits of heaven and earth, so the Path Rules left by the Golden Dragon naturally had no effect on them.

"You two, hand over everything you’ve found!" a mysterious robed elder said. He had a head full of tiny braids and was outrageously short, scarcely taller than a dwarf.

However, as Almighties of the Heaven Building Ladder, regardless of their small stature, their presence was domineering, terrifyingly so.

Shi Hao immediately put on an innocent face and said, "Esteemed senior, as you can see, within the dragon’s body, everything is extremely tough. Although we managed to get inside, we didn’t obtain anything."

His words were reasonable and convinced the seven Almighties of the Heaven Building Ladder to ponder.

They, too, had tried before. The body of the Golden Dragon was incredibly powerful, and even with their abilities, they still had to exert some effort to break through. And there were also Corpse-Eating Insects, equally tough.

So, what Shi Hao said was indeed very close to the truth.

The more powerful the person, the more confident they tend to be, even to the point of being presumptuous, so they project their own standards onto others, firmly believing their conclusions without doubt.

The Purple Gold Rat glanced at Shi Hao, with a knowing look in its small eyes.

This guy’s seriously good at acting.

Surprisingly, behind this kid’s devilishly handsome looks, he hides a sly nature.

Hmm, just like itself.

However, trust is trust, but the seven Almighties weren’t about to let Shi Hao and his father leave just like that. They insisted on having them tag along searching inside the Golden Dragon’s body.

They searched and searched, but since all the good items had already been taken, it was only natural they couldn’t find anything else. After a full round, all they managed to do was kill some Corpse-Eating Insects.

This was a True Dragon, an Immortal Level being; how could they not gain anything?

The seven Almighties were dissatisfied, but to skin and debone this Golden Dragon would be an enormous task, certainly not something that could be completed in a few days.

"All of you, get out!" Just as they hesitated, they heard a cold voice sounding.

Everyone looked over to see a black-clad woman approaching, her figure simply perfect. Even though her black clothes were not very tight, they perfectly outlined her curves, making people drool.

Her face was veiled with white gauze, and the contrast between black and white made her look stunningly dazzling.
