Chapter 334 - 328: The Dragon that Blocks the Road
“How is it possible that seven against one still can’t win!”
Marshall Quincy scratched his hair in a bit of a meltdown, and what caught people’s attention was that the Genie Pattern on the back of his hand had lost its previous shining brilliance.
As the earthquake ceased and the dust settled, the members of the Flowery Kingdom’s team couldn’t help but stare in amazement at the Meteor Dragon, who had just withdrawn from Beastmaster Cooperation mode, and the noble puppet with its chest heaving.
Behind the mysterious puppet, a healthy Flood Dragon raised its head high, showing a full fighting spirit.
“What do we do?”
Abigail Quincy’s pretty face suddenly turned pale.
Even the Meteor Dragon, who had been strengthened by Beastmaster Cooperation, couldn’t beat the opponent. If they continued to fight like this, they would have no chance of winning.
As a fighter, she was not afraid of death and had long been prepared to die in battle, but she was afraid of losing the Imperial Jade Seal from their team.
The Imperial Jade Seal is an immortal arcane implement capable of guarding a kingdom, and its value is incalculable. Even if the cost of the entire team’s demise was paid, she would never let the Imperial Jade Seal fall into the hands of a Trainer with an unclear identity.
“Should we continue the fight?”
David Jones looked up at Marshall Quincy and Abigail Quincy.
Through their brief exchange earlier, he knew that one of them was the backbone of the team’s strength, and the other was the team’s leader.
As long as he could successfully persuade these two, there might still be a chance to rescue Violet Cooper.
“We are not your match, but we really don’t have the Imperial Jade Seal on us. Even if you kill all of us, we can’t give you the Imperial Jade Seal.” Abigail Quincy pleaded pitifully.
If it were someone else, they would have begun to doubt whether they really had the Imperial Jade Seal, but David Jones knew that only those with the King’s Order or the Imperial Jade Seal could enter the relic, so he wouldn’t just believe Abigail Quincy’s words.
However, at this point, David Jones fell silent. When had he ever said he wanted the Imperial Jade Seal?
Seeing David Jones standing there without saying a word, a frustrated Marshall Quincy gritted his teeth and said, “Maybe we can’t beat you, but if we fight to the death, we can at least take one of your pets with us.”
Hearing this, Abigail Quincy gave Marshall Quincy a dissatisfied glance.
What is he thinking at this point, provoking him!
Couldn’t things be discussed peacefully?
No wonder his cultivation speed is so fast; he has no emotional intelligence like a normal person!
“When did I ever say I wanted the Imperial Jade Seal?”
Under everyone’s tense gaze, David Jones said somewhat puzzled, “I just want you to help me with one thing. That is for you and me to pass through the gate here together, break into the Tower of Truth in the heart of the relic, and reach the Sky City to save my teammate.”
When she heard that, Abigail Quincy looked at David Jones somewhat incredulously.
With the Black Armor Dragon guarding the core area, no one could break through the core area and reach Sky City. Yet, you claim your teammate is trapped in Sky City and needs to be saved.
It’s outrageous, at least make up a more realistic lie. Like this one, which can be punctured with just a little thought, it’s hard to believe.
However, that being said, the Trainers who can enter Relic No. 1 have basically passed the auditing of the Beast Legion, and a genius Trainer like him has no need to betray the Flowery Kingdom and embrace the Beasts or the Demonic Mysterious Beasts.
But there are two factors that always make her suspicious. One is how David Jones got the information about the Imperial Jade Seal, and the other is where his teammates are!
These two suspicious points are the reasons she can’t trust David Jones.
Thinking of this, Abigail Quincy, who admitted to being less powerful, could only say half-believingly, “As far as I know, to pass through the central area gate, you need the King’s Order or to possess the Imperial Jade Seal. How did your teammates get to Sky City?”
Looking at the group of Trainers who were finally able to communicate peacefully under the pressure of his strength, David Jones quickly got to the point.
My legion instructor is Law Webster, and my team member Violet Cooper is a Descendant of the Origin Emperor. After our team entered the Tower of Domination and Truth, Violet Cooper was directly teleported to Sky City because of the Origin Emperor’s blood in her body. According to her, the relic’s Guarding Mecha, Raven Armor, wants to kill her…”
“I’m sorry, we don’t have the Imperial Jade Seal, otherwise, we could help you save them.” Abigail Quincy said regretfully.
In any case, these were just David Jones’s words, and she couldn’t fully believe them.
Even if what David Jones said was true, the Imperial Jade Seal was more critical than a person with the bloodline of the Origin Emperor.
Anyway, she wouldn’t take risks.
If they really wanted to save someone, they could wait for her to communicate with her superiors before rescuing them. Whether it would be too late by then was none of her business. After all, she can’t overemphasize the importance of the critical national treasure, the Imperial Jade Seal!
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the Imperial Jade Seal. My request is simple. Just accompany me into the core area. I have the King’s Order for passage.” David Jones’ gaze shifted to the closed gate in the distance.
His previous information from the Shadow Guard stated that there was only one remaining King’s Order in the relic, the one in his hand. That being the case, it’s clear what passage item this legion team possesses.
Wen Yan, Abigail Quincy nodded under her teammates’ somewhat nervous gaze.
In her opinion, even if David Jones defeated Marshall Quincy, he might not necessarily be able to defeat the Black Armor Dragon, especially since David Jones had no teammates at all now and didn’t even meet the conditions for Beastmaster Cooperation.
And the fact that David Jones couldn’t cast Beastmaster Cooperation also meant that his pets couldn’t break through Black Armor Dragon’s defenses. So his subsequent challenge could only result in failure.
“Then follow me.”
Seeing Abigail Quincy agree, David Jones couldn’ t help but sigh in relief.
If it wasn’t necessary, he really didn’t want to offend the genius from the Beast Legion too much.
“I’m exhausted. Can we rest for a bit longer?”
At this moment, Elva Knight raised her hand somewhat embarrassedly.
In the core area of the relic, the Black Armor Dragon was lying on the ground, resting.
“Somebody’s coming in!”
The Black Armor Dragon opened its tightly closed eyes, curiously looking at the slowly opening gate.
“Why is it you guys again?”
Seeing the familiar faces of the Flowery Kingdom’s team, the Black Armor Dragon snorted disdainfully, only changing its expression when it saw David Jones, who was walking at the back.
“Did you change your seven-person team to eight? According to the Origin Emperor’s rules, each challenge can accommodate up to ten people.”
As it said this, the Black Armor Dragon’s eyes were fixed on David Jones, its gaze somewhat uncertain and suspicious.
“Who are you, really?”
