Dragon Tamer
Chapter 978 - Chapter 978 Chapter 982 Chasing the Dragon Thief

Chapter 978: Chapter 982: Chasing the Dragon Thief Chapter 978: Chapter 982: Chasing the Dragon Thief Zhu Minglang and the other dragons were admiring the magnificent twilight scenery, with Bai Qi also curious about whether the Xuanlong would join their big family and what peculiar name Zhu Minglang would give it.

As the beautiful sunset dipped behind the mountains, although it was magnificently beautiful, Zhu Minglang’s heart sank with it, his eyes as dim as the dusk.

The sky had darkened; it wouldn’t appear now.

The Xuanlong never stayed after the sun had set; it was a dragon that did not like the night.

It hadn’t come.

Having fully recovered, it must have continued its nomadic life.

As night fell, atop the broken walls, Zhu Minglang slowly got up and said to the other dragons who, like him, had been waiting for the Xuanlong, “Let’s go, it’s time for us to hit the road.”

“Our God, shall we wait another day?” Cai You asked.

“No need, it won’t come today, nor will it come in the future. Although it’s a pity, it wasn’t a bad experience; at least I have seen a mythological Xuanlong that others may never see in their lifetime and fed it for nearly half a month,” Zhu Minglang said.

Given the choice again, Zhu Minglang would still not use the Dragon-binding Divine Silkworm Silk.

Zhu Minglang was clear-sighted; the moment he used the God silkworm silk, either he would be killed by the Xuanlong, or the Xuanlong would choose death.

The Xuanlong was unique, and Zhu Minglang liked it, admired it. It was not bad to not be able to share the same boat, leaving a good expectation between each other.

…

Zhu Minglang set off overnight. He had lingered here for a long time, although these days each dragon had also gained good experience. However, he still needed to return to the North Dipper God Territory. Having been away for so long, he had no idea what earth-shattering changes had occurred in the North Dipper God Territory.

“Our God, anyhow, the Xuanlong is a new friend we’ve made. If it doesn’t want to accompany us, then it is also good for us to take the initiative to say goodbye,” Cai You said.

“It’s not impossible, but we don’t know where it lives,” Zhu Minglang said.

“I know,” Cai You said with a smile.

“You followed it secretly?” Zhu Minglang asked in surprise.

“Mhm, I thought Our God would eventually use force to tame it, so I went ahead and checked the place out. Of course, Our God is a Dragon Shepherd who understands the temperament of dragons better than I do. Moreover, if the Xuanlong really yearns for that nomadic life, forced taming would most likely just lead to mutual harm. Our God must have anticipated this long ago, which is why you never did that… Our God is a gentle deity, oh, the heavens must have another plan for you,” Cai You said.

“Hopefully,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

Guided by Cai You, Zhu Minglang walked towards the Xuanlong’s cave.

The Xuanlong actually lived very far away, beyond several dozen mountain ranges. It did not reside in a dragon cave but had made a nest atop a conspicuous divine tree that towered above the rest.

“Is it really here?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Yes, it’s so strange. I remember there was a divine tree here as well; how has it disappeared… Our God, Our God, something’s not right, look here quickly!” Cai You landed on an expanse of darkened earth.

There was nothing but barren land here, though the smell of charred wood could be detected. Zhu Minglang swept the area with his Divine Sense and immediately sensed a chaotic energy in the region, as if it had been scorched by a powerful light and fire.

Moving towards the divine tree, Zhu Minglang saw these towering pines, standing like small mountains, toppled haphazardly; some were smashed into sawdust, while others looked like broken walls…

A battle had taken place here!!

Moreover, from the residual warmth of the energy, it could be inferred that this had happened within a day!

“Our God, these are Black Scales…” Cai You found a piece of dragon scale scattered on the ground, spotted with mottled bloodstains.

Zhu Minglang also found a piece of armor near the dragon’s nest, similar to a human’s shoulder guard, with a palm-bead pattern on it, clearly the special sigil of some power.

As Zhu Minglang continued forward, passing through the massive trees, he was shocked to discover that these trees concealed countless mechanical devices, which were now destroyed and scattered all around!

There were machines that launched nets of golden silk, ballistae that could penetrate dragon scales, spider puppets capable of spitting some kind of sticky, poisonous substance, and even the remains of the gears of immensely powerful mechanical giants!!

Besides, there were signs of swords, knives, dragon breath, and traces of lightning, fire, earth, and frost everywhere, hinting at the scale of the battle that had taken place here with Divine Skills users masterful of lightning and fire, Dragon Shepherds commanding their flocks, and Machinists who maneuvered heavy machinery.

These mechanical devices were quite advanced; many were made of Divine Wood and Profound metal.

Zhu Minglang’s brow tightened firmly when he saw a large area of bloodstains and a dragon-shaped pit pressed out on the ground, his heart sinking even further.

“Xuanlong may have been captured, his life and death uncertain,” Zhu Minglang spoke.

“There are many dragon net devices here, indicating that their goal was to capture, not to slay dragons. Our God, we must rescue Xuanlong!” Cai You said.

“Yes, I am collecting clues, and it would be best to find out who these people are,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.

Now, Zhu Minglang was very angry!

He had refrained from handling Xuanlong roughly, and yet a bunch of bastards had laid their hands on Xuanlong!!

Zhu Minglang had been observing very carefully all the way here, and he noticed some of the heavy machinery bindings had been pre-arranged.

That meant the other party had been eyeing Xuanlong for some time…

Could it be that Xuanlong’s poisoning was also related to these people??

Clearly, these people would stop at nothing, even deploying the Piercing Dragon Crossbow to capture Xuanlong.

Xuanlong had only recently recovered its health and its strength was still gradually returning; these people certainly seized the moment when Xuanlong was at its most vulnerable!

“Our God, they left towards the west, let’s pursue them,” Cai You said.

Having locked onto the direction, Zhu Minglang wasted no more time.

If anything were to happen to his Xuanlong, he would make sure this brutal bunch kept it company in death!!

Zhu Minglang was seething with anger!

“Yuu~~~~~~”

Sensing Zhu Minglang’s rage, the lazy Little White Dragon finally took the initiative to jump down from Zhu Minglang’s shoulder. Although it lacked the stamina and endurance of other dragons, it was the fastest in short-distance flights.

For a rapid chase, the Moon Blessing White Dragon was naturally the best choice.

Zhu Minglang and Cai You both leaped onto Bai Qi’s back, which unfurled its gorgeous frosty moon wings. Layer upon layer of silvery wings sped and soared through the night sky. The mountains, lands, and forests below whirled by like a massive earth painting rapidly being flung back and sinking below the horizon, while the scenery ahead flipped by likes pages stirred by the wind…
