Chapter 67: Long Xun, Divine Beast?

  That largest half-blood dragon stretched out a giant claw in front of Kong, "With your speed, it's unknown when you'll enter the core area, I'll send you in."

  "Thank you, senior." Kong Fanglian thanked him.

  At this time, the black guard transformed into flowing water and left Kong Fang's body, appearing beside him. Seeing this scene, the surrounding half-blooded dragon and water beast couldn't help but pause, with a hint of astonishment flashing in their huge eyes.

  The pale golden young dragon looked at Hei Wei, then turned its head to look at Kong Fang. Its bright eyes were filled with a hint of confusion, and for a moment, it couldn't tell who had really saved it.

  Kong Fang retracted the Black Guard and jumped onto the giant claw of the Half-Blooded Dragon. The Black Guard was gone, and the dragon's gaze focused on Kong Fang. It transformed into a faint golden light shadow and quickly jumped onto the giant claw of the Half-Blooded Dragon. Then it wrapped itself around Kong Fang's neck again, its eyes slightly narrowed, showing great affection for Kong Fang.

  "Xun'er, you mustn't be rude to those who have shown us kindness." The half-blood dragon that had appeared first rebuked in a low voice.

  "Ahng", Long Xun called out in a wronged tone, but didn't know what he was saying.

  "It's okay, I also quite like Long Xun." Kong Fang said with a smile.

  No longer in danger of losing his life, and now it seems that there are great benefits to be had, Kong Fang naturally no longer blamed Long Xun. After all, if Long Xun hadn't held him back, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to see the legendary Dragon King, let alone obtain benefits from him.

  It is known that as the true overlord of Qianlong Lake, Longwang's benefits are far from simple.

  Kong Fang smiled and rubbed Long Xun's little head, and Long Xun immediately closed his eyes contentedly, letting out two soft cries.

  The other half-blood dragon saw this scene, and there was a gentle smile in their eyes.

  "Alright, let's go. We can't keep the Dragon King waiting." The massive half-blood dragon said with a smile, and its body suddenly rose into the air, quickly flying towards the core area of the Thousand Dragon Lake. The other half-blood dragons also took to the skies, closely following behind, but Kong Fang noticed that the aquatic demons didn't follow, instead diving into the water and disappearing.

  The Qianlong Lake, which is thousands of miles in size, is unimaginably large for ordinary people. It can be said that it's a vast ocean, but for powerful cultivators, it's just average and can be flown over directly without taking much time. Of course, no one dares to fly directly over the Qianlong Lake, unless they think their life is too long.

  The eerie fog in Qianlong Lake made the flying treasures like Xingyun Zhou completely useless, but the terrifying half-blooded dragon was not affected at all. It flew extremely fast, riding the wind and breaking through the clouds, and in the blink of an eye it had flown to a very distant place.

  Kong Fang stood in the giant claws of the half-blooded dragon, tiny, only a little bigger than the sharp fingernails of the half-blooded dragon. This made Kong Fang look at the dragon wrapped around his neck with some emotion, now such a small little guy would grow up to be so terrifyingly large.

  A dozen or so half-blooded dragonkin flew by quickly, but didn't make a single sound, not even the wind could be heard. This made Kong Fang feel envious and look forward to having such strength one day.

  As we ventured deeper into the Qiulong Lake, the number of aquatic demons and half-blooded dragonkin on the lake's surface increased, no longer as quiet as the outer regions. Moreover, many aquatic demons were killing each other, tempering themselves.

  Kong Fang's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of fear as he saw these holes. Fortunately, the Thousand Mile Earth Symbol had only sent him to the outer perimeter and not directly into the inner area. Otherwise, with so many half-blooded dragon and water beasts roaming around on the lake surface, he wouldn't have even had time to escape before being slapped to death by a single swipe of their paws.

  This made Kong Fang extremely resentful of the person who wrote the book describing the situation at Qianlong Lake. The book repeatedly mentioned that the surface of Qianlong Lake was generally safe, as long as one didn't make a disturbance and get discovered by the aquatic monsters, and usually nothing would happen if one's luck wasn't too bad. But Kong Fang looked down and saw all sorts of aquatic monsters and half-blooded dragon-like creatures appearing from time to time, and he really couldn't see where it was safe on the lake surface.

  "Luckily I didn't run wildly at first, otherwise if I had mistakenly entered the internal area, it would have been a dead end with no way out." Kong Fang thought to himself in relief.

  It's not the fault of that monk who wrote a book describing the situation in Qianlong Lake. Although that monk was quite capable, he didn't dare to venture into the internal area either. The internal area of Qianlong Lake is a dragon's lair for monks at the Huā Líng realm, extremely dangerous, let alone the monk who wrote the book whose strength was far from reaching the Huā Líng realm. That monk only circled around the outer periphery and naturally didn't know about the situation in the internal area.

  When the half-blood dragon flew forward for a while, the water-walking monster on the lake surface and the half-blood dragon suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.

  "Could it be that we've reached the core area?" Kong Fang's heart skipped a beat.

  "We're almost there." At this time, the giant half-blooded dragon who was carrying Kong Fang spoke up on its own initiative.

  The surrounding fog gradually decreased and finally disappeared completely.

  Kong Fang was astonished to find that in the area of only a few dozen miles ahead, there wasn't a single wisp of fog. The light from the sky could shine directly onto the lake's surface, creating a dazzling display of colors and lights that were extremely beautiful.

  In the center of this tens of miles large water area, there is a small island with a size of several hundred meters. In the center of the island, there are several stone houses built. If it weren't for knowing that this was the Thousand Dragon Lake, Kong Fang would have suspected that this was where some human hermit lived. After all, for a half-blooded dragon with a massive body, this island of only several hundred meters in size was really too small. And those few stone houses were even more impossible to accommodate the huge body of a half-blooded dragon.

  Except for the giant half-blooded dragon with Kong Fang, which fell on the edge of the small island, all the other dozen or so half-blooded dragons were floating in the lake water outside the small island.

  The huge half-blood dragon put Kong Fang on the ground and then retreated into the water.

  Kong Fang looked at the several stone houses with great suspicion, wondering if he had come to the wrong place. The feeling here was more like a human residence. Long Xun also widened his eyes, staring curiously at the several stone houses without blinking.

  The door opened and a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe walked out. The middle-aged man had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel close to him.

  "Human?" Kong Fang wondered, "No..." Kong Fang's heart suddenly skipped a beat because he found that the golden-robed middle-aged man's eyes were also golden. "Could it be...that the Dragon King has reached the Realm of Spiritual Communication?" Kong Fang was shocked in his heart. Only when a demon beast reaches the Realm of Spiritual Communication can it transform into human form, and the Realm of Spiritual Communication is only one realm lower than the Butterfly Transformation Realm of the Secret Mansion Master.

  "I pay homage to Lord Dragon King." The dozen or so half-blooded dragon demons behind him also bowed respectfully.

  Hearing the half-blood dragon's voice, Kong Fang suddenly came back to his senses and hastily paid his respects, "I've seen Dragon King, senior."

  "No need to be polite, young friend, you are a great benefactor of our clan." The Dragon King said with a smile.

  What the Dragon King said was not taken to heart by Kong Fang, he just saved a young dragon and it's impossible for him to become the benefactor of the Dragon King and the entire Half-Blooded Dragon Clan. If this is what makes someone a benefactor of the clan, then there would be too many benefactors of the Half-Blooded Dragon Clan.

  The Dragon King took one step and was already in front of Kong Fang, the speed was so fast that it shocked Kong Fang to stare blankly, this speed was even faster than using the Thousand Mile Shrinking Earth Symbol.

  "Come over here." The Dragon King stretched out his right hand and said to the dragon wrapped around Kong Fang's neck.

  Although Long Xun instinctively felt that the Dragon King was very close, his body didn't move, and instead looked at Kong Fang. Long Xun had been taken away by Ji Hong and others shortly after birth, which made Long Xun extremely affectionate towards Kong Fang who had saved him.

  Kong Fang was startled in his heart, a young dragon being close to him was a good thing, but in the face of the Dragon King, this closeness might not be a good thing after all. Long Xun belonged to the half-blooded dragon tribe, while he was just a human.

  The dragon king's face showed no signs of displeasure, his smile was still very warm and gentle, which made Kong Fang gradually relax, stroking Long Xun's head, advising: "Let's go to the Dragon King's place."

  Long Xun then came down from Kong Fang's neck and climbed onto Long Wang's arm.

  The Dragon King gently stroked the light golden body of Long Xun, and the golden light in his eyes gradually grew stronger.

  "Huffing and puffing", behind him, the breathing of the half-blooded dragon had become somewhat labored, which made Kong Fang slightly surprised, not knowing what was wrong with these half-blooded dragons all of a sudden.

  A moment later——

  The golden light in the Dragon King's eyes disappeared, but his voice was slightly excited, "Bloodline returning to ancestors, it is indeed so."

  When the Dragon King spoke, Kong Fang didn't feel much, but more than a dozen half-blooded dragon spirits in the lake suddenly let out thunderous roars, each voice filled with excitement and agitation.

  "My half-blood dragon clan has finally produced a second divine beast, hahaha, the great dao blesses my half-blood dragon clan!" A loud and earth-shaking excited roar was emitted by the massive half-blood dragon.

  The half-blood dragon let out a series of earth-shaking excited roars, startling Long Xun, before quickly returning to Kong Fang's body and tightly wrapping itself around his neck.

  Kong Fang was stunned for a moment, "Divine Beast?" Kong Fang looked down at the dragon wrapped around his neck, somewhat incredulous that he had actually saved a divine beast.

  At this moment, Kong Fang finally understood why the Dragon King would say that he was a great benefactor. A divine beast can indeed influence the rise and fall of an ethnic group, and he is indeed worthy of being the great benefactor of the Half-Blooded Dragon Clan.
