Chapter 52: The Shadow of the Giant Dragon

  (Thanks to Huahua World, Yiou Sanqi Liangqie and Cao Meng for the reward. If you have a recommendation ticket, please give Xiaoke two tickets, hehe...)

  After resting for a night, the next day, Wu Lingfeng and his group prepared to head towards a nearby town, where they could replenish their food supplies. Additionally, Charlotte and the others hadn't bathed in several days and had been clamoring to get clean.

  However, just as they were approaching the town, a group of people wearing tattered clothes and bare feet, who looked like refugees, blocked Wu Lingfeng's path. They held rusty swords in their hands, which seemed to be harmless scraps of metal.

  "Leave some money for the road, or you won't be allowed to pass..." Suddenly, a fat man rushed out from among the refugees and said proudly.

  I'm going with a group of refugees to rob your grandfather's money, Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but say: "Did you leave out two sentences?"

  "What's up?" The fat man was a bit puzzled, not knowing what Wu Lingfeng wanted to say.

  "You should say, this mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through this road, leave the toll..." Wu Lingfeng said with a playful smile.

  The fatty rubbed his face and said: "Hmmm, you're right, that's the way it is. Hand over your money quickly, or else I'll take your little life..."

  Wu Lingfeng beckoned to the loli doll behind him, indicating that she should give them some color to see. What a freak! You're coming out to rob in this getup? Do you think you're Cheng Yaoguang or something?

  "Drink..."

  Loli directly turned a snowman into an ice block with frost.

  "Run! The boss has been killed by the magician..."

  The people behind Fatso saw him turn into an ice block and immediately scattered and ran away.

  Wu Lingfeng shook his head and couldn't help but ask Helena, "What's going on? This place also has thieves, but this group of refugees is a bit too unprofessional, right?"

  "It shouldn't be, otherwise I'll catch someone and ask," Helena said.

  Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Let's go to the town first, I always feel that something is not right. A group of refugees come out as bandits? Why don't they cultivate the land well and do this here?"

  "Good..." Helena nodded.

  At this time, Sherry said on the side: "Master, be careful, the town ahead seems to have an unusual person, a demon master. I feel that kind of powerful magic fluctuation has affected the spatial magic elements."

  Wu Lingfeng nodded cautiously, and even the demon master appeared. It seems that something extraordinary has indeed happened.

  "I seem to recall that this should be the border of the Wind Language Kingdom, and there is an ancient ruin here. Could it be that something has gone wrong here?" Eve said.

  "Never mind, let's go into town and gather some information first..." Wu Lingfeng said, galloping forward on horseback.

  Just as Wu Lingfeng and his group arrived at the town, they found that it had been completely destroyed. There were large numbers of dilapidated houses and shops, and the entire city wall had been destroyed by some kind of enormous force. The streets were marked with huge claw prints.

  However, many tents were temporarily set up to provide food and drink for travelers coming and going. The residents of the town seemed to have disappeared, and the streets were mostly filled with adventurers, including swordsmen, knights, archers, and some magicians.

  "What kind of monster is this huge footprint? The footprint is so big, what kind of body shape would it have?" Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "It's gotta be a giant dragon, there's no other explanation... at least, judging from the shape..." Eve said.

  "Hmm, it's a giant dragon indeed, but how did it get here? Why isn't it staying in the Dragon Valley instead of coming here?" Sherry frowned and said, then her gaze fell on a red-haired old man in front of a tent. This guy was that magician.

  "Let's take a rest first..." Wu Lingfeng jumped down from the unicorn and came to a tent, ready to have some food.

  The owner of the tent was a burly man with a thick beard, who, upon seeing Wu Linfeng and his companions approaching, enthusiastically brought over a water jug and tea cups, saying: "Are you guests planning to venture into the Goblin Ruins? Recently, an Ice Frost Dragon has appeared there, attracting many adventurers."

  Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Uncle, we didn't come here to adventure, but to go to the strongest magic academy on the mainland to study. We passed by here and were intercepted by a group of self-proclaimed bandits who claimed to be refugees. We killed one of their leaders and they scattered in all directions."

  "Ah..." The burly man with a thick beard sighed and said, "Those are the original residents of the town. Last month, the entire town was destroyed by a giant dragon, so most of the surviving residents became bandits, robbing travelers along the way. It's just your bad luck that you ran into them... after all, they usually encounter ordinary people..."

  "Uh, is Uncle also from this town?" Winnie asked.

  "Not from here, but from a nearby town. Lately, many adventurers have come to this place, we provide some food and tea, earning more money, some magic tents offer overnight accommodation, if you want to stay, I can introduce you, they are all from our area." said the man with the mustache.

  "Alright, let's stay overnight for now and then head out again. There are dragons here and we don't have anything to do with them anyway," Wu Lingfeng said.

  "Heh heh, little brother doesn't know this, but that Frost Giant Dragon seems to be about to lay eggs, it's at its weakest now, so many adventurers have rushed over to slay the dragon and snatch the dragon eggs..." the big man said in a low voice.

  "Ah……" Wu Lingfeng nodded, indeed a temptation. A weak giant dragon, plus the allure of the dragon egg, was enough to attract everyone. Moreover, it was rare for a giant dragon to come out of the Dragon Valley, a rare opportunity.

  "What should we do, master? Shall we take a look? After all, it's a rare sight. We've never seen what a giant dragon looks like before..." Sherry said.

  Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Don't go. If you want to die, let me end it for you now. It's better for me to send you off than anyone else. You should focus on getting to the Magic Academy safely."

  "Alright..." Sherry nodded helplessly, thinking that if Wu Lingfeng were to die in a fit of rage, she would finally be free from this life without human rights, which she was already tired of.

  All the way, Wu Lingfeng kept talking to Helena and the others, leaving Shirley out in the cold. This made Shirley inevitably jealous, she was also a beauty, after all, occupying some face value. All the way with that magical loli doll, her existence that could be ignored made her thoroughly want to go crazy.

  Moreover, when Wu Lingfeng left Stardak, he didn't even call Xue Li because the soul fragments were attached to his body. As soon as they were far apart, she became weak all over and only then did she realize that Wu Lingfeng had left Stardak. She chased after him for a long time before catching up, but in the end, she was abandoned.

  Xue Li harbored a deep-seated resentment, this state of non-existence left her speechless, she could only try to make Wu Lingfeng disappear, who knows how long it would take for her to become a Demon Master...
