DADH Chapter 71

[You are experiencing God’s bestowed plunder!]

[You are experiencing God’s bestowed plunder!]

[You are experiencing God’s bestowed plunder!]

……

In a hidden corner of the continent.

In the form of a cluster of light, the substitute for the god of light, hiding in the wind, discovered that the god of light not only intercepted the power of faith he had stolen but also attempted to find its true self behind it.”

He hesitated for only a second, then immediately became resolute.

“Foolish believers, it’s time for you to give back to my true god!”

In places where the temples of the god of light are located throughout the continent, the light begins to flow in reverse, finally converging into a golden river, flowing towards a certain location.

…

On top of the White Tower.

The god of light, sensing the substitute’s relentless resistance, lowered his eyes, which carried a holy aura, and thought for a moment.

Light is the embodiment of goodness and beauty, and the God of Light is undoubtedly kind and benevolent.

Moreover, this applies to the beloved followers who adore him.

They are all his children.

But Light is also about justice.

The guidance of the substitute does not completely alter the moral compass of the followers of the God of Light. In reality, the root cause of betraying the continent lies in the amplification of dark desires and greed deep within.

They deserve to be punished.

The God of Light no longer intervenes to stop the distant substitute, allowing it to siphon the power of faith.

It’s only after faith receives back twice the power they gave to the substitute that the God of Light sighs, and a divine force disperses in the vast space.

Easily shattering the inflated dreams of the hidden corner, which the substitute harbored.

In the previous moment, the substitute, who thought it hadn’t been discovered yet, couldn’t even let out a wail before being apprehended on top of the White Tower.

In the next moment, a gentle voice resounds in the ears of the God of Light’s followers.

They may not understand the exact meaning of the divine words, but they can strangely grasp the intentions of the God of Light.

They reflect on the mistakes they committed by allowing their dark thoughts to amplify after being deceived by the substitute.

As well as the punishment inflicted by the God of Light.

All around the world, all followers of the God of Light kneel down, contemplating their errors.

The arrival of the God of Light in person was originally a glorious event, but now it will be a lifelong disgrace for them!

What kind of existence is the God of Light? It is light itself!

How could they easily believe that the imposter, full of personal desires and malicious intentions, aiming to conquer the continent, is the ‘God of Light’!

Furthermore, after the punishment.

The astonishing thing is that the voice of mercy spoke in the common language of the continent.

“This is also my mistake. Once this matter is resolved, I will share your guilt and punishment.”

Their god is going to share their guilt and punishment!

Apart from shame, the followers can’t feel anything else.

And who even noticed the recovery of blessings from some god?

Except for the players!

Inside the Dragon’s Dungeon.

Players, suddenly losing the protection of the God of Light’s skills and being kicked by the dragons all at once, were not even bewildered before they noticed something even more terrifying.

Their levels were rapidly dropping!

Before they could even make sense of their character panels, the dragons who received orders kicked them out of the dungeon.

Players from other areas aligned with the God of Light subsequently discovered that not only did they suddenly lose the bestowed skills from the god!

But the skill slot had turned into ‘God’s Plunder’!

This skill was plundering their experience points, causing their levels to plummet!

Some had a bright idea to exit the Temple of the God of Light, but they found it to be futile as the exit button malfunctioned.

In the end, the players realized that only going offline could stop the experience plunder. However, they were afraid of losing levels, so no one dared to log back in.

So they all rushed onto the StarNet and cursed the game, making it a hot topic.

Soon enough, on StarNet, the latest developments in the Dragon Slayer game once again went trending.

–

In the game,

The little dragon, still bewildered, followed Huo Yi to the entrance of the underground dragon tomb.

Jing Nian followed the little dragon’s gaze and naturally noticed how skillfully Huo Yi was leading the way. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you so familiar with this place?”

Huo Yi: “…” Of course, it’s because I used my divine consciousness to search the Abyss Canyon countless times before in order to find the little dragon.

But he felt it was a bit embarrassing to admit, and he didn’t want to deceive Jing Nian.

So he said, “Divine consciousness.”

As expected, Jing Nian misunderstood. He suddenly realized and then felt that Huo Yi appeared even more reliable!

So, the divine race is this powerful!

Huo Yi checked the entrance and then glanced at the clueless little dragon, who looked at him with innocent curiosity.

Not understanding why he was being observed.

Huo Yi looked at the puzzled little dragon and thought of Jing Nian’s affection for the little dragon. He fell silent for a moment before informing Jing Nian that they needed the blood of a true dragon to break the seal on the entrance to the dragon tomb.

Jing Nian let out an “Ah,” and then suddenly realized that only Hesse might know where the Dragon Blood Pool was after the dungeon’s seal.

After informing Huo Yi of this, he thought for a moment and asked, “Can your divine consciousness find the Dragon Blood Pool?”

Huo Yi: “…” Sometimes, one lie requires countless other lies to fill it in.He could only say, “The Dragon Blood Pool is quite special, and divine consciousness can’t locate it.”

Although it was the truth, he still felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

Jing Nian didn’t doubt him. He furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and suggested, “Why don’t we go talk to Hesse about it?”

Thinking back to how Huo Yi had explained things for such a long time to gain the trust of the Dragonkin earlier, Jing Nian felt a bit guilty. Because the Dragon Blood Pool could be considered one of the Dragonkin’s treasures, and it would likely require some effort to obtain.

Huo Yi also realized this and suddenly asked Jing Nian a question, “What does the little dragon like to eat?”

Jing Nian was puzzled, not understanding why Huo Yi was asking this all of a sudden, but he still answered casually, “Fruit of Life.”

Afterward, he instinctively explained, “It’s an elf… ”

“Is it this?” Huo Yi interrupted, and in the middle of speaking, he suddenly held a fruit emitting a milky fragrance between his fingertips.

Jing Nian nodded uncertainly because he didn’t know if the little dragon, after being assimilated by the dungeon, would still like it.

The moment the Fruit of Life appeared, the little dragon’s gaze was immediately captivated. It stared fixedly at the fruit, licked its lips, and looked at Huo Yi with an eager and restrained expression.

Well, the little dragon’s expression said it all.

Actions spoke louder than words.

Huo Yi handed the Fruit of Life to the little dragon.

The little dragon’s eyes lit up, and then it excitedly extended its two little claws to try to grab the fruit.

However, it watched in astonishment as the fruit moved out of sight, only to come face to face with a pair of dark, deep eyes.

“Give me your hand first, and then I’ll give you the fruit.”

The little dragon, drooling with anticipation, extended its little claws, only to suddenly feel a sharp pain in one of its fingers.

It was a bee that had stung it quite painfully, causing it to bleed.

The little dragon froze, not understanding why a bee could pierce its skin, but it only knew it hurt. In an instant, tears welled up in the little dragon’s eyes, its mouth puckered, and it seemed on the verge of crying.

Suddenly, before it could make a sound, its wide-open mouth was filled with a fruit emitting a milky fragrance.

As it saw the juice about to slip away, the little dragon was quick to act.

“Sip!” It slurped it up.

Its eyes met Huo Yi’s gaze perfectly.

“Don’t cry, Ao Ao, be good.” The man reached out and crushed the bee, speaking gruffly as he comforted it.

Ao Ao was indeed comforted.

It hadn’t even had a chance to retract the two big teardrops from its eyes when it secretly began to view this man in a whole new light.

It even has a faint hint of admiration in its gaze.

Seeing the easily placated little dragon gnawing on the fruit, Jing Nian suddenly became worried.

He suspected that if Ao Ao continued to grow like this, it might be able to help someone count money even if it were sold in the future.

However, as he looked at the drop of blood on Huo Yi’s fingertip, he instantly understood what Huo Yi had been doing earlier.

So, it’s to deceive the little one for its blood…

Meeting Jing Nian’s gaze,

Huo Yi pursed his lips and explained, “As a last resort, this is faster.”

Jing Nian nodded, showing understanding.

He hadn’t known before that Ao Ao’s blood was also true dragon’s blood.

However, as he watched the gaze filled with nothing but milk fruit, Jing Nian had to admit that Huo Yi had mastered the art of comforting a little one perfectly.

With the blood of the young dragon in hand, Huo Yi easily opened the entrance to the underground dragon tomb.

“Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…”

The heavy stone door creaked open, and due to its age, dust filled the air for a while before the entrance corridor slowly appeared before them.

At this point, the little dragon had finished its milk fruit and was still licking its lips, looking satisfied.

Jing Nian could finally see the entrance to the dragon tomb.

He noticed something peculiar. Although it was clearly the ancestral tomb of the Dragonkin, the entrance was surprisingly small, too small for a dragon to fit through.

The little dragon had already occupied about seventy to eighty percent of the entire passage with its current size, and if it grew a bit larger, it wouldn’t fit through.

Huo Yi, after hearing Jing Nian’s curious observations, became thoughtful, and his tone turned colder.

“Perhaps… it’s to block the dragons.”

His coldness wasn’t directed at Jing Nian but at the unsettling feeling he got from within the dragon tomb.

Normally, divine powers only sense beings closely related to them.

Huo Yi had always been a solitary figure, apart from the young man he had recently allowed into his heart. There was only…

The little dragon.

Thinking about this, Huo Yi’s entire demeanor turned cold and fierce.

Seeing Huo Yi’s change in expression, Jing Nian held his breath and refrained from asking further questions.

Because he was somewhat concerned about Huo Yi’s change in demeanor, and also because he was in the dragon soul space with the little dragon, he didn’t realize that shortly after entering the passage, the little dragon had fallen silent too.

After an unknown amount of time, the dragon and the two people finally arrived at a spacious tomb chamber door.

Ao Ao and Huo Yi both lifted their gazes as if they had a premonition and looked at the closed stone door.

This time, Huo Yi clearly had less patience than before. He inexplicably pressed his hand on the stone door with a sense of urgency.

“Boom!” The stone door exploded, and in the billowing smoke, a massive dragon skeleton appeared before them.

What was most shocking was that several thick, black chains, thicker than dragon horns, were securely fastened all over the dragon’s skeleton, and the chains converged at a certain pattern beneath the dragon’s feet.

Jing Nian stared at the pattern beneath the dragon’s feet, which felt uncomfortable and repulsive, and he froze.

In his confusion, he felt tears welling up in his eyes.

After a while, he realized that it was the little dragon who had cried.

Huo Yi, who had been dark-faced the entire time, finally sank into complete silence.
