Chapter 144
Jiang Fei could see the light flashing on his Treasure Hunting Ring, but he could not find the treasure itself . He circled the Steel-back Dragon several times before he finally returned his attention to the region beneath the Steel-back Dragon .
The Steel-back Dragon was curled up, its huge body piled up upon itself like a small hill . That was why Jiang Fei suspected that the treasure had to be hidden beneath its body .
Jiang Fei felt troubled . Although the Steel-back Dragon would not initiate an attack towards him, he too, did not dare attack it . If it continued to sit on the treasure, he was never going to snag it .
In truth, Jiang Fei was not the only one troubled . The Steel-back Dragon would be drenched in sweat now, if it had sweat pores . It was peacefully sleeping in its own home before this human had come along and woken it up . If it was an actual human, it would have been fine, as the Steel-back Dragon could enjoy a delicious snack . However, a terrifying Dragon's Might emanated from this -- thing that took the form and wrappings of a human!
As a Yalong beast, the Steel-back Dragon was particularly sensitive towards the Dragon Might, compared to other wild beasts . It was very certain that the human before him was a high-level, Pure-blooded Dragon Race in hhis human disguise .
The Dragon Race was a high-level race . They were very particular about their bloodlines . As a mere Yalong beast, the Steel-back Dragon should be honored to bump into a Pure-blooded Dragon Race . It was both excited and also frightened at the same time!
It was excited because if it could associate itself with this Pure-blood Dragon Race, it would be able to go very far in life and no longer had to remain stuck in this tiny valley . It was afraid, on the other hand, of offending the Pure-blood Dragon Race which could cost its life with a single Dragon's Breath .
Therefore, as Jiang Fei did not seem to be actively hostile, and was instead circling around it with no apparent motive, the Steel-back Dragon did not dare to make any moves . It merely sat there in silence, afraid of upsetting the man and dying to his Dragon's Breath .
"How do I get this miserable pile of scales off?" Jiang Fei continued to inspect the Steel-back Dragon, murmuring to himself .
"yвaжatьctapwnxдpakoh,Вывпoprдke? (In Dragon's language: My respected Dragon Lord, may I ask what you are looking for?)" The Steel-back Dragon was getting most uncomfortable and finally voiced out its question .
"What the heck? You speak?" Jiang Fei was murmuring to himself, when the Steel-back Dragon spoke and gave him a fright .
"ktotы? (In Dragon's language: What branch are you from?)" Since it had wisdom and could speak, things had become much easier . Jiang Fei had even dared to trick the Nephilim's princess . Blackmailing a Yalong beast was nothing!
"rпoлykpoвkaдpakoh,3дecь摸nдom . (In Dragon's language: I am Branch Yalong from the Dragon Race . I live here . )" The Steel-back Dragon explained .
"cka3aл6ы,чtoo6wnnыk (In Dragon's language: Do you speak Common?)" Jiang Fei asked .
"Yes… Hiss… A little bit, hiss…"
The Steel-back Dragon was rather fluent in the Dragon's language . However, once it started using the common tongue, the words became heavily layered with hisses .
"What are you hiding under your butt?" Jiang Fei asked directly . Since he was pretending to be from the Dragon Race, he had to have the demeanor of someone from the Dragon Race . If he behaved very gently and politely, his pretense would be quickly discovered . The Dragon Race had to act like bullies without any grounds for reasoning .
"There is a treasure under my protection… Hiss…" The Steel-back Dragon answered .
