Chapter 153 The ‘Abnormality’ Gathered in Xue Jing, the Locals Are Too Rude (4K)
"Does this dragon have divine nature?"
Surprised, Xue Jing released his hand holding the dragon's tail, his eyes showing thought.
His grip was too strong, and the dragon's tail was torn apart, its scales were torn, flesh and blood were squeezed out from both sides, and the bones inside were broken.
"What do dragons and vomit beasts have in common?"
Xue Jing squatted down and pulled the dragon out of the pit.
Xue Jing walked from its tail to its head and looked at it carefully.
The dead dragon had its tongue sticking out of the left side of its mouth, and its two eyeballs had burst out of its eye sockets under the strong impact, leaving only two blood holes.
"According to Renia, all the dragons in this border area are descendants of the 'Dragon God'..."
"So, one possibility is that only creatures in the border area with the blood of the Dragon God have divinity in their bodies?"
"In that case, maybe the vomit beast also has the blood of the Dragon God in its body?"
Xue Jing touched his chin and pondered.
"Let's assume this for the time being..."
"In that case, there is another question."
"According to Bai Ya's speculation, this pure-blooded dragon species is the 'core creature' of the roaring waterfall."
"So, the reason why it has divinity is because 'pure-blooded dragon species have divinity', or because 'it has divinity because it is a core creature'?"
"This point cannot be confirmed for the time being..."
"Anyway,"
Xue Jing looked at the flying dragon on the ground.
"Let's kill all the dragon species in this border area first."
...
Outside.
In the camp, the three members of the Void Blade team and Dr. Shen were gathered in the tent.
"...That's what happened."
Xu Ren whispered to the silver bracelet on his hand.
"I know."
Wu Youqing's ethereal voice came from the bracelet.
After a moment of silence, she continued:
"You Bai Ya, you are a department specializing in dealing with abnormal events at the border, but you are too amateur."
"You didn't even prepare the 'mirror film', and didn't think about the possibility of being reflected by GOD-005? Why do you have a fluke mentality?"
It was obviously a very obvious accusation, but Wu Youqing's voice remained as ethereal and calm as ever, which made everyone at the scene feel a little uneasy.
Xu Ren thought about it, and didn't say "It's very troublesome and expensive to prepare a mirror film covering dozens of kilometers. They can't afford it. Usually only some borders above A level will be covered with mirror film for a long time."
She knew very well that Miss Wu was not unaware of the difficulty of this matter, but she just had some emotions about the fact that they put Xue Jing in danger.
These accusations were just a way to vent emotions. Just bear it silently.
After all, this was basically a pure accident. Who knew that the timing chosen by the [Mirror World] would be so coincidental that it would "reflect and blend" this intersection the moment Xue Jing entered?
With the intelligence and rationality of this Miss Wu, she obviously understood this truth.
As Xu Ren expected, Wu Youqing did not make more accusations, but was silent for a while and said:
"Xue Jing is a person who is destined to be in trouble... Only those with "true vision" can see that he has extremely complex "abnormalities" gathered on him, just like a huge light source, which will attract all kinds of "bugs" to him."
"This time, it seems to be the same. I can't blame you for anything."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
If this incident caused the anger of Miss Wu, they dared not even think about the consequences.
Xu Ren whispered, "What should we do now, Miss Wu?"
"I don't think a pure-blooded dragon will stop Xue Jing here." Wu Youqing said, "But at least let him know the current situation first."
A pure-blooded dragon...
The mandrill beside him twitched his mouth when he heard this.
Only Miss Wu could say such a thing...
Even if it is just a pure-blooded dragon in its infancy, it is a super monster that requires at least three white crow squadrons and sufficient preparations to be able to deal with it with a certain degree of confidence.
No matter how powerful Xue Jing is, he can't win against such a monster. Miss Wu is too confident in him...
"What should we do?" Xu Ren asked.
Wu Youqing said lightly, "Since it is a divine relic, we should also use divine relics to deal with it."
"Come to Qingcheng right away."
...
In a forest in the 'Roaring Waterfall'
Xue Jing cleared a piece of open space, chopped some wood and piled them together, and used a lighter to make a bonfire.
"I heard that the materials on the dragon species are very expensive."
At this moment, Xue Jing was holding the unsheathed Futu knife and scraping off the scales of a large piece of flying dragon meat.
This is the tail meat of the flying dragon.
"Dragon meat can only be eaten in high-end restaurants in the inner ring. It's a rare opportunity, so you have to try it."
Xue Jing scraped the scales.
The fine dark yellow dragon scales were scraped cleanly by the sharp Futu knife under his superb knife skills.
"Yoshi, my knife skills are great."
Xue Jing looked at the whole piece of tail meat without scales and wrinkled skin, and nodded with satisfaction.
He stretched out his finger and touched the dragon bone on the cut surface of the tail meat, and black flames ignited on his fingertips.
Using shadow flames to annihilate the bones and blood inside into nothingness, Xue Jing waved to the crow next to him, found various seasonings from the big backpack it was holding, and began to marinate the dragon meat.
On the other side, in the forest, several figures were moving towards where Xue Jing was.
Each of them was followed by a different kind of 'Daruka'. Some had six legs and looked like large crocodiles, some crawled on the ground and sniffed, and had scales all over their bodies, like hounds... and so on.
"An Luowa, slow down and be more hidden." One of the tall men frowned and said.
"This is the territory of this country. If we are discovered by their patrol team, we can't escape."
The man named An Luowa shrugged and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Captain Apava, the patrol team of this country is so small, how could we just run into it?"
"This forest is still the territory of the 'long-tailed dragon'. According to their respect for dragons, they will not enter the forest without permission to disturb it."
"This job is too easy. Let's go faster and catch the long-tailed dragon quickly, and go back to sell it for drinking!"
The others also echoed:
"That's right, Captain Apava is too cautious."
"We have been doing this for a long time. It's just catching a dragon, just sprinkling water. There's no need to be so nervous."
Apava frowned, shook his head, and whispered:
"I feel a little uneasy. I feel something is wrong. This forest... is too quiet."
"Normally, even in the dragon's territory, we should be able to see a lot of Daruka, but we haven't seen any since we entered the forest."
Seeing that the captain was a little nervous, An Luowa was about to say something comforting.
And at this moment, suddenly, the scaly hound Daruka in the team seemed to smell something, stopped, bared his teeth, and made a warning growl to the front.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes became serious.
"There is something ahead, be careful!"
Several people took a few steps forward cautiously, quietly pushing aside the grass that blocked their sight.
Then, they saw the dragon.
To be precise, it was the body of a dragon.
The huge body, with a tail of nearly 20 meters, was lying quietly on the ground. The tail was cut in the middle, and it seemed that there was a piece missing.
Next to the dragon's body, there was a man in strange clothes sitting. He was holding a stick with a piece of meat stuck on it, roasting it on a bonfire, sizzling, and oil and water kept dripping out, looking quite tempting.
"Isn't that a long-tailed dragon!?"
An Luowa's eyes widened.
"Someone got there first? Wait, that person actually roasted it! Is he going to eat the dragon?"
The group was scared.
Dragons have a very special status in this world. All dragons are descendants of the Dragon God and have sacred blood.
Although the country of that country is not as strict as this country, where only priestesses are qualified to tame dragons, no one dares to do such a thing as "eating dragons".
"Is that man crazy? He will be cursed to death by the Dragon God for doing such a damned thing!"
"What should we do now?"
The group looked at each other.
The mission target was robbed, and it was a madman who dared to eat a dragon...
"Otherwise, let's retreat. I haven't seen his Daruka before, but it looks very difficult to mess with..."
Someone noticed the crow flapping its wings next to the 'madman' and whispered a suggestion.
Captain Apava thought about it and was about to give an order.
At this time, the 'madman' seemed to inadvertently look in the direction where they were hiding.
"Not good!"
Apava's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to remind everyone to prepare.
But before they could make any move, a dozen black 'fish fins' suddenly emerged from the shadows in the forest and swam towards them quickly.
Afterwards.
"Shua——"
A dozen black sharks jumped out of the water and rushed towards them, opening their huge mouths and biting every person and every Daruka accurately.
"Ah!"
"What is this? No, don't bite me, Captain Apava, save me!"
In a panic, everyone found that these black sharks did not tear off their flesh and blood as imagined after biting them, but turned into black steel bars, like springs, covering their whole bodies, tying them all up like caterpillars.
Xue Jing stood up, holding the roasted dragon meat in his hand, and walked towards the group of natives he had captured.
As he walked, he took a bite of the roasted dragon meat in his hand, tasted it carefully, and nodded.
"Well... it tastes okay, it's quite juicy, and the meat is tough, but not dry, and it tastes good."
While eating the dragon meat, Xue Jing walked in front of the group of natives, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a flat tone:
"You locals are too rude to hide beside and peek at others eating."
The group of natives looked at each other:
"He...what is he saying?"
"I haven't heard of the language, is he a foreigner?"
"What should I do, this madman who dares to eat dragon meat, will he eat us too?"
Xue Jing frowned, ate all the dragon meat in a few bites, and then threw away the wooden stick in his hand.
He took out the simultaneous interpretation headset from the backpack held by the crow and put it on the person who seemed to be the leader of the group of natives.
"Now, do you understand?"
Xue Jing said calmly.
Captain Apava's eyes widened as he listened to the voice coming from the headset.
"I understand... I understand."
"So, what are you trying to do by spying on me?" Xue Jing said, crossing his arms and looking down at him.
Sensing that Xue Jing's tone seemed to have a hint of hostility, Captain Apava quickly said:
"We are the 'Dragon Catching Group' from the other country. We came here to capture the lord of this forest, the 'Long-tailed Dragon'. We really didn't mean to peek at you, and we don't have any malicious intent!"
Xue Jing touched his chin, "Dragon Catching Group?"
Apava nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Dragon Catching Group. We make a living by catching dragons and selling them to the upper class nobles of the other country."
Xue Jing's eyes lit up: "So, you are very professional?"
"Professional?" Apava was stunned, "Yes... yes professional."
Xue Jing immediately showed a friendly smile, stretched out his hand and lifted him up from the ground like a chicken, and let him stand up straight.
Then he helped him brush off the dust on his body, put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Look at what happened, it turned out to be a misunderstanding... By the way, since you are professionals, do you have any way to find dragons?"
Apawa first sighed at the man's strong strength, and then was a little scared by Xue Jing's sudden change of attitude, and said nervously:
"I have a distribution map of dragon territories... I have slowly investigated over the years, if you need it..."
Hearing this, Xue Jing patted his shoulder hard and said sincerely: "Good brother!"
"You locals are too polite, it's really a country of etiquette! It's hard to refuse such a kind offer, so I won't be polite... In return, how about I treat you to dragon meat?"
Apawa immediately shook his head wildly, almost shaking out sparks: "No, no, it's good to be able to help you... What do you think?"
He pointed his chin at the black steel fence tied to his body.
Xue Jing smiled and snapped his fingers.
The shadow flame steel threshold on everyone's body dissipated immediately.
Seeing this, Apava breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out an old scroll map from his pocket, spread it out, and handed it to Xue Jing.
Xue Jing looked up and saw a very clear map with red dots everywhere on the map, some large and some small, and indigenous words were written next to each red dot.
"Look, this is where we are now. This is the territory of the long-tailed dragon."
Apava pointed to a red dot on the map and said.
"The center is the roaring waterfall... The closer the dragon is to the waterfall, the stronger it is, like here, here, and here."
He pointed to several thick red dots near the center of the map: "The dragons living in these places are very terrifying, it's best not to get close."
"We usually choose the periphery to capture dragons..."
After Apava's explanation for a period of time, Xue Jing basically understood how to read the information on this map.
"......That's roughly it."
Xue Jing looked at the map and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you so much."
"......I'm glad I can help you." Apava said carefully.
"Then, can we... leave?"
Xue Jing waved at him: "Let's go...Are you sure you don't want to have a bite of dragon meat? It's delicious."
"No, no." Apava shook his head quickly.
"Then we'll leave first..." He took off his headphones and handed them to Xue Jing.
Then he said to everyone: "Retreat!"
After that, he walked out of the forest first.
The others were silent, without saying a word, and followed Apava.
The group walked slowly at first.
When they were away from Xue Jing for a distance and confirmed that he would not chase them, they immediately ran away and rushed out of the forest.
Among them, Apava ran the fastest.
"Captain Apava, wait for us!!"
In the forest, Xue Jing didn't pay attention to the movements of the natives, but just spread out the map and looked at it.
"Well, start from the outside and then slowly clear the inside, starting with here."
He looked at the small red dot closest to him.
