Dragon Prince Yuan - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Blinding light flooded the eyes, followed by a barbaric pulling force . Zhou Yuan was hit by vertigo as if he had fallen into a whirlpool .

Fortunately, the pulling sensation did not last for long . Zhou Yuan felt a huge force rush towards him and his body was flung into the air .

Bang!

Zhou Yuan’s body landed heavily on the ground, causing him to eat a mouthful of soil in the process . However, he was rather quick-witted . Ignoring the pain when he landed, Zhou Yuan swiftly rolled on the ground, distancing himself from where he had originally landed .

At the same time, the Metal Skin Rune, that had been prepared in advance on his arms, started to flicker with a faint glow, ready to activate at any moment .

Fortunately, the ambush he had expected did not come, and Zhou Yuan’s tense body gradually relaxed . Only then did he leisurely inspect the surroundings .

“This is?”

Zhou Yuan was wide-eyed as he looked around him . The cavern had long since disappeared, and in its place was a quiet and peaceful ancient forest . Giant trees thrust into the sky, while their dense leaves covered the heavens .

A clear stream flowed by the side, emitting the sounds of running water . It was a tranquil sight .

“What is this place?” Zhou Yuan was completely baffled . He remembered being in the secret cavern inside the shrine just moments ago . How had he come to this unfamiliar place in the blink of an eye?

“Strange . ” Zhou Yuan frowned slightly as he observed his surroundings . Could it be that the so-called great destiny was this land?

“But there are no signs of any people . ” Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself . As his gaze swept back and forth, his pupils abruptly shrunk while the expression on his face froze as if he had seen a ghost .

It was because he had just discovered that a beautiful figure had unknowingly appeared under one of the giant trees to his front .

At closer inspection, it was a girl in green . The girl’s body was slender and she was currently leaning with her back against the tree trunk as a pair of bright eyes calmly observed him .

When Zhou Yuan’s gaze met her own, an indescribable feeling of numbness spread across his scalp .

However, Zhou Yuan’s mental resilience was after all pretty good, and he very quickly calmed himself . A smile immediately emerged on his immature face, trying his best to appear harmless, as he cupped his fists together and said, “Big sis, may I know where this is? I am Zhou Yuan and I did not mean to trespass . Please forgive me if I have offended you in an manner . ”

The girl before his eyes looked to be of similar age to himself . However, a little politeness at such a time was never a bad thing .

However, the mysterious girl in green did not seem to take any notice of Zhou Yuan’s respectful mannerisms . Her slim and fair hand pulled back a strand of black hair in front of her forehead, before she walked towards Zhou Yuan .


When she walked out of the shade, light immediately sprinkled down on her body . As she approached, Zhou Yuan was finally able to clearly see her, and a look of amazement involuntarily flitted across his eyes .

The girl had snow-white skin . Her fine black hair was lightly bundled up, while her simple green clothes outlined her wonderful curves . She had a very exquisite set of facial features . In particular, her bright eyes seemed to contain a certain aura of mysteriousness, causing them to appear both unpredictable and distant .

At this very moment, the girl seemed to tread on shards of sunlight against the backdrop of towering ancient trees . A gentle breeze blew past and lifted her fringe, allowing one to catch a glimpse of an extremely ancient rune between her brows, a sight that gave off an aura of indescribable mysteriousness . This scene was so beautiful that it made Zhou Yuan breathless for a moment .

“Big sis . ” Zhou Yuan displayed a smile . Although this scene was breathtaking, he still maintained a little cautiousness . After all, both this foreign environment and the mysterious girl before him were unknowns .

“Big sis?” The girl in green curled her lips slightly when she heard how Zhou Yuan addressed her as if it was somewhat amusing .

She inquisitively sized-up Zhou Yuan for a moment before muttering, “Grandpa Hei was right, someone really came here today . ”



“What?” Zhou Yuan was unable to clearly catch what she had said .

However, the girl in green ignored him . She turned around and headed towards the ancient forest . As she passed by the giant tree from before, the girl called out .

“Tuntun, time to go home . ”

Upon hearing the girl in green’s call, Zhou Yuan immediately discovered the small gray creature lying under the giant tree . The little creature looked like an unremarkable small dog .

“A pet doggy?” Zhou Yuan mumbled .

Ao ao!

As if it had heard Zhou Yuan’s mumbling, the small creature’s hair immediately bristled and it started to bark at him . However, because its body was too small, the barks from it lacked any destructive power and instead made it appear rather cute .

The small creature seemed to have realised that its barking had not intimidated Zhou Yuan . Its tail stood straight up as it jumped in front of a boulder, before opening its mouth and taking a vicious bite .

Crunch crunch!

As it continued to chomp down in this manner, one could only watch as the boulder rapidly shrank at an alarming speed . In the short span of several breaths, the boulder had completely disappeared . All of the hard pieces of rock had been swallowed into the little creature’s tiny stomach .

The expression on Zhou Yuan’s face turned rigid as he secretly gasped . He was a little dumbstruck as he stared at the little dog-like creature . What exactly was this thing? To think that such a huge boulder would be devoured in a few bites .

What strong teeth and healthy appetite!



Zhou Yuan wiped away the cold sweat on his head and no longer dared to look at this seemingly plain little beast . The latter’s teeth had been able to easily chew threw rock, what hope could his frail body have against it?

No wonder it was called Tuntun* . (Means swallow or devour)

Upon seeing the shock on Zhou Yuan’s face, the little creature called Tuntun happily swung its tail . It rolled its eyes at him in an extremely human-like manner, before catching up to the girl in green while still shaking its tail .

When the girl in green walked into the forest, she tilted her head back a little, slightly raising her snow-white chin at Zhou Yuan .

“Come along if you want to find your great destiny . ”

After speaking, she walked into the forest, her pretty figure flashing between the gaps in the trees .

A contemplative look emerged on Zhou Yuan’s face as he watched the girl in green and small creature grow smaller and smaller . All of this was very mysterious, and he could not make heads or tails of it . He was clearly unable to understand why he had come to this foreign place from the stone platform in the secret cavern of their ancestral shrine .

However, since he was already here, there was obviously no way to back out . After all, he did not plan on returning empty handed .

Huu .

Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath . Without any further hesitation, he opened his stride and quickly caught up to the girl and little beast .

A boy, girl and beast travelled within the ancient forest, a lush green forest that was full of life . From time to time, ferocious beast howls could be heard in the distance . But every time that happened, the little Tuntun at the girl in green’s side would emit a bark . Although the bark was not loud, the entire forest seemed to fall silent, as if they were afraid of this small creature .

Zhou Yuan could not help but took another look at the mysterious little beast . The little gray-dog-like creature seemed to be very special .



It was clear that the girl in green had not intentions of speaking with Zhou Yuan . Hence, Zhou Yuan could only maintain his silence as he closely followed behind .

They advanced in this manner for an hour, before Zhou Yuan finally sensed the girl in green’s footsteps come to a stop .

“We’re here . ”

The girl’s voice echoed from the front . Zhou Yuan’s heart jumped slightly as he raised his head and peered at through the greenery of the forest . A clearing had appeared within the forest where a cottage peacefully stood .

There were three fences around the cottage . Zhou Yuan’s gaze ultimately paused on a recliner in front of the cottage where an old man in black was peacefully resting as he gently rocked back and forth .

As if he had sensed Zhou Yuan’s gaze, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the former .

Zhou Yuan’s heart faintly trembled when he saw the old man’s eyes . Those eyes were filled with an indescribable ancientness, as if they had experienced countless eons .

At the same time, Zhou Yuan was able to feel a thick declining and decaying aura cloaking the old man .

However, the moment their gazes met, Zhou Yuan also felt the sensation of being seen through . It was as if all of his secrets had been put on display before the old man’s eyes .

“Hehe, a little fellow who possess the sacred dragon blessing has indeed come . ” The old man in black slowly withdrew his gaze as a raspy voice was heard . However, the voice was akin to thunder when they fell upon Zhou Yuan’s ears .

“However it’s a pity that the sacred dragon blessing has been stolen, and even the sacred dragon root has been damaged . Oh, is this the Dragon’s Resentment Poison?”

“Tragic, truly tragic . ”
