我家哥哥宠妹如命

“Lord Flood Dragon, do you really believe the words of that human? You should know that humans are the most cunning creatures alive. How can you believe their words?”

The Explosive Scarlet-Armored Bear was the one who spoke. Its body was almost the size of a hill, and it was covered in hard scales. There was a dissatisfied look in its yellow-brown eyes.

These high-level demonic beasts did not have the bloodline of the dragon clan, so they were not affected by the dragon’s remains. They had only gathered here because of the flood dragon’s authority.

“I also think it’s very possible. If this is a trick of that lowly human, wouldn’t we have retreated in vain?”

To the side, a Purple Lightning Golden-Tattooed Leopard voiced its dissatisfaction as well.

However, it was clear that the flood dragon was different from them. Due to its dragon clan bloodline, it had a special reaction to the item. Although the reaction was subtle, the flood dragon was certain it

“Say no more, all of you. I know what I am doing.”

The other high-level demonic beasts looked at each other, unable to understand why the thing in the human’s hand would cause the flood dragon to have such a big reaction. It even gave up on attacking the city.

“Lord Dragon, who is the Lord you are talking about? Why do we…”

The other demonic beasts had always heard the flood dragon mention this Lord, but they had never seen it before.

The flood dragon’s expression instantly became extremely respectful, filled with an indescribable reverence. It said, “The Lord is an ancient dragon!”

The other demonic beasts couldn’t help but gasp. It was actually a dragon!

The dragon clan were existences at the top of the hierarchy. All demonic beasts respected them. Even the flood dragon only had a trace of the dragon clan’s bloodline, but it could already command the other demonic beasts. Even high-level demonic beasts had to obey it.

This was enough to show the prestige and uniqueness of the dragon clan.

“The dragon clan actually still exists in this world!” exclaimed a beast.

Even these demonic beasts couldn’t believe it. The dragon clan had gone extinct and was the stuff of legend today. The existence of creatures like the flood dragon was already miraculous.

“The Lord’s existence is somewhat special.”

In fact, the flood dragon could sense that the Lord was not a dragon at its prime. However, the aura that the latter exuded frightened it. The flood dragon would not allow these humans to invade the dragon clan’s resting place. Them doing so was the reason why it was so angry.

The flood dragon’s expression suddenly changed. It muttered, “What’s going on? Why is that Lord’s aura becoming weaker?”

Just now, the flood dragon could still vaguely sense the Lord’s aura. However, it could not feel any of it now.

Could it be that something had happened?

“A few days ago, some humans stepped into the demonic beasts’ forest, and they headed in that direction,” a beast reported as it pointed towards somewhere.

The flood dragon could be said to be the lord of the demonic beasts in the forest. No movement could escape its notice. When it heard this news, it immediately became suspicious.

That direction was the place where the Lord was resting!

Nevertheless, it was sure that those lowly humans could not cause much trouble. After all, a single Dragon Breath could turn them into ashes.

However, the abnormality at this moment made it have second doubts.

“Could the abnormality really be related to those humans?”

“If that’s the case, let’s go back to the city!” suggested the Explosive Scarlet-Armored Bear

It was impetuous and was eager to crush those humans to pieces.

However, when the flood dragon thought of Ye Xuan’s seemingly convincing words, it hesitated for a moment. It thought out loud, saying, “But if his words are true, doesn’t that mean I’m disobeying the Lord? Let me think about this.”

…

At this moment, Ye Xuan still didn’t know that the flood dragon had become suspicious.

[Ding!]

Just as he was at a loss about what to do with the item, the system in his mind, which had been upgrading for a long time, finally responded.

Ever since the system showed that it needed an upgrade, it appeared to have crashed and fallen into a deep sleep. No matter how Ye Xuan called upon it, it did not respond at all. He thought there was something wrong with the system.

[The system has upgraded successfully. Activating more functions. Please discover them on your own.]

[Random mission: Consume 1000 tons of dragon blood. (It has a special effect on dragon-related creatures. Cultivators should not simply consume it.)]

[Reward 100,000 prodigal points upon mission success. Prodigal points will be deducted at random upon mission failure. Time limit: 5 days.]

The continuous beeps made Ye Xuan fall silent. The system liked to speak in riddles. Even though it had more functions now, he had to explore them on his own.

On top of all that, there was a new mission.

The unit of measurement mentioned was not catties or kilograms, but tons. There was also the generous sum of prodigal points. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but gasp. The upgraded system dropped a bombshell from the start.

There was an unknown object in front of Ye Xuan. Although he didn’t know what it was, it fell from the bone dragon, so it should be somewhat related. Maybe it had some use.

Ye Xuan took out a basin of dragon blood from his inventory. The blood was golden in color and looked extraordinary. It was filled with rich spiritual energy and might.

Even without the system’s prompt, Ye Xuan would have wanted to try it himself. This dragon blood was obviously special.

The human race was different from the dragon clan. The dragon clan was born strong while the human race was weak. If he acted rashly and couldn’t handle the dragon clan’s power, he would explode and die. Since Ye Xuan wasn’t confident, he didn’t dare take the risk.

He muttered, “No wonder it’s said that all the parts of a dragon are treasures. If this dragon blood can be used in medicine, it will be able to enhance the medicinal effects of other herbs by quite a bit, allowing one to enter the divine-grade and above.”

It was different when using dragon blood in alchemy. The dragon blood’s domineering power could be dissolved. It could also enhance the medicinal effects of mild spiritual plants. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t know how to refine pills yet.

He had not moved since the dragon blood appeared. However, the item seemed to be summoned by something. It began to hum and tremble. It then flew towards the dragon blood.
