Chapter 841: Chapter 826 Magic Plane 34

"It’s possible that this place is too vast; even with quite a few people entering, it is difficult to encounter anyone unless some Heavenly Treasure appears, drawing everyone in the same direction—only then would the chances of meeting others increase significantly," Wei Se said.

"This deep forest is so vast and filled with Heavenly Treasures, it just depends on whether one has the luck to find them.

Xia Yue, looking at the forest nearby, spoke, "Do you think Odeli will get lucky and find a lot of treasures?"

"He probably will," Yan Mo responded to her.

"Maybe it’s because his luck was too good that he got captured and imprisoned, which then led him to become corrupt and destroy the entire Magic Plane," Wei Se added.

"Why do you think he was captured? From the descriptions, he should be a very smart person. Almost as cunning as a Demon, he managed to become the most wanted swindler across the Continent. It’s unlikely he could be easily captured," Xia Xi threw out a question, a bit curious.

"Sometimes, when there are more people, it’s quite easy to catch him. After all, there’s only one of him. Now, no one is catching him because there’s no alliance formed, or rather, no one truly wants to capture him. Besides, his potions are of a high grade, and many want to get their hands on some of his higher-level potions," Mo Si considered for a moment before speaking.

"That’s true, but it’s also possible that someone lured him with something or someone he cares about, making him knowingly walk into a trap," Yan Mo said.

"Like that dragon named Ron we encountered when we first arrived here, it’s said that they are friends. That dragon seemed not too bright, taking Gold Coins and leading people back to its Dragon’s Lair. If someone tricked that dragon into being captured, and if Odeli really has a good relationship with Ron, then Odeli might actually go and attempt a dragon rescue," Xia Yue suddenly recalled the dragon they met upon arrival.

"That’s also a possibility. Maybe Odeli’s corruption was triggered by some mishap with that dragon; after all, a dragon’s body holds many valuables. Dragon Crystals and Dragon Blood can be used to make potions, Dragon Skin and Dragon Bone—as well as other parts—can be used for refining, and eating Dragon Meat can even improve one’s cultivation base," Wei Se boldly speculated.

"That’s highly plausible," the others nodded in agreement with the speculation, thinking that if Odeli had gone corrupt because of something happening to Ron, it was indeed likely.

They chatted quite a bit, but it was all speculative, a way to pass the time.

The next day, when the sun rose and they had finished breakfast, they continued the search along their planned route.

Ten days later

"Oh, I didn’t expect to run into you here. What delicious food are you eating? Share some with me, I’m quite hungry,"

a familiar voice came from the sky as Xia Yue and the others were resting and eating.

Yan Mo and the others looked up to see a Giant Dragon flying down from above, which then landed in front of them. A flash of Light passed, and a person with fiery red hair and luxurious clothes studded with gems of various colors—even the shoes sparkled in the sunlight—stood before them.

"Ron?" Yan Mo tentatively asked.

"Oh, friend, you still remember me. That’s really great. I’ve been traveling for three days to get here. I haven’t had anything to eat or drink. Those foods you’re eating look quite tasty. Share some with me, will you? I can lead you out of the forest," as soon as Ron heard Yan Mo call his name, he walked over quickly, then crouched down, eyeing their food while involuntarily swallowing.

"Here you go. Try some delicacies from the Eastern Continent. They might not suit your taste," Xia Yue took out a bag containing large Steamed Buns—there were about ten or so—and also handed him a bamboo tube filled with soy milk.

"Thank you." Ron was genuinely hungry. The moment she passed them over, he eagerly began eating.

He gulped down two Steamed Buns at a time, eating five in quick succession before slowing down.

"Have some soy milk, so you don’t choke," Xia Yue watched him eat voraciously and pointed at the bamboo tube in front of him.

"Mmm," Ron nodded, still with a bun in his mouth, he mumbled a response, placed down the bag of buns, picked up the bamboo tube, and guzzled from it. After drinking half, he finally stopped.

"This food and drink are both so good," Ron said with buns in hand, now savoring them.

"I’m glad you like it," Xia Yue smiled and replied.

"Ron, what brings you here?" Xia Xi probed.

"Something’s up. My friend said he’s in trouble and asked me to come here to fetch him. Upon receiving the message, I flew here right away without having time for food. I was flying over this area and, smelling your scent and being extremely hungry, I decided to come down and ask for some food," Ron answered.

"Who’s your friend that has you this worried? Seems like you must be very close," Wei Se said with a smile.

"Of course. He’s my best human friend. Back when I was advancing in rank, I was discovered by humans and nearly killed, but he saved me. So when I heard he was in trouble, I hurried over," Ron nodded emphatically.

"With such a relationship, you certainly should come over. What’s your friend’s name?" Xia Xi nodded and asked.

"Odeli," Ron blurted out without thinking, then paused, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

"What happened to him? Where is he now? We can help you to rescue him," Xia Yue immediately offered.

Ron’s gaze became wary when he looked at them; he knew all too well how much trouble Odeli could attract and didn’t dare let anyone follow him on the rescue.

"You forgot that we told you we’re from the far-off Eastern Continent and came here seeking his medicine in hopes that he would aid our Emperor," Xia Yue saw his wary expression and explained.

"Are you telling the truth?" Ron still looked at them suspiciously.

"Definitely. Otherwise, why would we come to this unfamiliar Continent after such a difficult journey? Your environment isn’t suited for us to exert our strength. Moreover, we’re influential and wealthy people back home. If it weren’t for the medicine, we wouldn’t have come," Xia Yue continued to spin the story, to ease his caution.

Ron listened to her tale, pondered for a while, and felt it made sense. If he had lots of money, he too wouldn’t leave his Dragon’s Lair unless it was for something of utmost importance—like rushing to save Odeli.

"Think about it, if we go with you on the rescue, the more people we have, the more strength we’ll have. We know some basic healing. If your friend is injured and needs urgent treatment, wouldn’t it be perfect to take us along?" Seeing Ron wavering, Xia Yue pushed harder to persuade him.

"Fine, but if you dare harm Odeli, I’ll eat you," Ron warned them.

"We still need his help, so why would we harm him?" Xia Yue replied with a smile.
