Dragon Tamer
Chapter 1117 - Chapter 1117 Chapter 1121 Routine

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1121: Routine Chapter 1117: Chapter 1121: Routine Every nerve of each person was tightly wound, and even though they knew it was safe now, no one dared to speak, and all actions had to be taken with utmost care, making as little noise as possible.

Drinking water, chewing food, walking… all were done in utter silence.

No one dared to use the Power of God and Mortality; as a group composed of divine beings, they seemed to revert to their most primal state, like mortals struggling to survive in the wild.

It was not clear how much time had passed before the oppressive fear that loomed over everyone’s head began to dissipate a little with the bright sunshine.

They started to converse in very soft tones, many on the verge of collapse, and the leaders, although hardly in better spirits themselves, still went around giving reassurances.

“We should be able to get out of here in another day,” the Xuan Ge God said to everyone, hoping to lift their spirits.

Besides the Dark Ancient Dragon, there were other fearsome ancient species and creatures living in the Banyan Forest. It seemed that these humans had been marked by the Dark Ancient Dragon, so the other species showed no intent to trouble them.

However, whether there was an inevitable connection between the Banyan Forest and the ancient dark dragons was uncertain. If they were the type who would not rest until their prey was eradicated, they might continue to follow even after the group left this forest.

The reassurances of the Xuan Ge God were of little effect; in Zhu Minglang’s opinion, it would be better to just say that the ancient dark dragons might still come after them, instinct pushing them to depart in their most heightened state.

Of course, Zhu Minglang himself did not wish to stay in the Banyan Forest for much longer.

Dragon Clan territory was truly terrifying, and to avoid further trouble, Zhu Minglang knew he had to keep a low profile.

“Thank you. Without you, many more of us might have died,” the Xuan Ge God approached Zhu Minglang, offering him a blue fruit.

“What is this?” Zhu Minglang thought it might be some extraordinary Holy Fruit and was slightly rejuvenated by the thought.

“I picked it earlier; it tastes very good,” the Xuan Ge God said.

“Oh,” Zhu Minglang took it, biting into it. The taste was indeed good, purely a thirst-quenching and tantalizing fruit, which could be purchased in any city within the Divine Lands, but such a delectable fruit was rare in this uninhabited Ghost Mark Star, making Zhu Minglang long for a world with a cultivated civilization. This untamed star was no place for people to live.

“Why seek the Million-Year Tree?” the Xuan Ge God inquired.

“Destiny. If you could point me in a direction, perhaps our journey ahead would be a bit easier,” Zhu Minglang said to the Xuan Ge God.

The Xuan Ge God should have been able to see it, depending on whether she had enough Divine Power to do so. Ever since arriving on Ghost Mark Star, she had frequently used Spells. The safety of these beings from the Tianshu God Domain was largely attributable to her Divine Machine Calculation; after all, despite Yuheng Star Palace’s overall strength, they had lost nearly a third of their number.

“You saved me, I should have…” the Xuan Ge God began.

But halfway through her sentence, Zhu Minglang shook his head, interrupting her, “Actually, after encountering the ancient dark draconic ambush, I’ve come up with some plans of my own.”

“What plans?” the Xuan Ge God asked.

“I want to find the Million-Year Tree first,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You want to leave the group?” the Xuan Ge God said, surprised.

“Yes, the creatures on Ghost Mark Star are too powerful. Our journey ahead will surely face entities far more terrifying than the Dark Ancient Dragon elders. With my current strength, attempting to reach the far ancient Southeast Sky Corner of Ghost Mark Star is a matter of luck; one cannot bet on anything, least of all life. Until I’m absolutely sure, I don’t want to step into the Southeast Sky Corner,” Zhu Minglang said.

The team had grown, but they were not strong enough.

Even if Tianshu and Yuheng formed an alliance, they might still be completely annihilated before the stealthy Ancient Dragon Clan.

Moreover, if the forest ahead still is a habitat of the Dragon Clan, then Zhu Minglang will find it even more difficult to play a protective role, as being a Dragon Shepherd has its pros and cons.

Of course, because Zhu Minglang is a Dragon Shepherd with a weak aura, walking alone on the Ghost Mark Star wouldn’t pose too much danger.

“But the Million-Year Tree you seek is likely located at the Southeast Sky Corner, which is the most ancient Wilderness Forest on the entire Ghost Mark Star,” the Xuan Ge God said.

“I actually want to visit the Ancient Banyan King. Banyan trees are known for their longevity,” Zhu Minglang said.

The Xuan Ge God shook his head, speaking in a very certain tone, “Your destiny does not lie within Banyan Forest, and I’m afraid your actions may bring more harm than good.”

“Did you calculate this for me?” Zhu Minglang asked.

The Xuan Ge God was taken aback for a moment; indeed, she had just conducted a simple Divine Machine Calculation–it was a subconscious act, and of course, it also consumed some of her Divine Power.

“Zhu Shou Zun…”

“Just call me Zhu Minglang, it’s more cordial.”

“Hm?” The Xuan Ge God glanced at Zhu Minglang, feeling that this guy might have ulterior motives, but remembering how Zhu Minglang boldly navigated through lightning in the rain, she couldn’t overthink it, “On the path ahead, you will find what you’re seeking. I’m currently unable to perform Divine Machine Calculation, but further on, I will give you accurate guidance.”

“Well, what I want is not just the Million-Year Tree. Alright, since you’ve given a clear direction, I’ll just follow it,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.

“On this journey, Zhu Shou Zun’s escort is needed. Thank you for your trouble,” the Xuan Ge God said.

“No problem, no problem.”

The Xuan Ge God looked at Zhu Minglang’s smile and detected a hint of cunning fox in his pure and gentle grin.

Was she being led into a trap??

Could it be that Zhu Minglang never intended to leave the group, and he only wanted to know the exact direction to the Million-Year Tree?

…

Zhu Minglang’s mood brightened.

After taking a big bite of the tender and caring fruit offered by the Xuan Ge God, he found a comfortable and dry place to sit and regulate his breathing.

Directly asking the Xuan Ge God for his Divine Monarch opportunity would likely have met with evasion, due to her need to consider the bigger picture of the Ghost Mark Star. But with a little trick, she had actively helped him predict the location of the Million-Year Tree–it wasn’t in vain that he risked his life to save her from the poison of the Rain Spider.

Alas, without Star Painting, everything was so troublesome.

The future of the North Dipper Divine Land didn’t have much to do with him as the God of Fuchen. Zhu Minglang’s main mission on the Ghost Mark Star was to find the Million-Year Tree…

Moreover, what Zhu Minglang said wasn’t untrue.

Stepping into the ancient Southern Celestial Corner with his current strength held a great likelihood of death. Rather than courting death, it was better to focus on finding the Million-Year Tree. Only by allowing the Xuanlong to grow and transform into adulthood would Zhu Minglang feel secure on the Ghost Mark Star.

If he couldn’t ensure his own safety, he couldn’t consider saving the world. Instead of leaving it to luck and taking risks, it made more sense to enhance his strength and steadily accomplish his mission on the Ghost Mark Star. Why seek a dramatic tragedy?
