The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 817

Chapter 817: Nightmare and Blight

"Senior, wait up . I have other comrades . What about them? Can I go and bring them here?" Tang Wulin asked .

The elder stopped in his tracks . "You can bring them here?"

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly, "I'll have to go back out first . But, I don't know how to get out of here . "

The elder chuckled . "So, it's best if you follow me first . You can't go out from here . " He then continued walking toward the depths of the valley .

Tang Wulin said nothing more . He hastily caught up with the elder and supported him of his own accord .

This old man looked as if it was rather difficult for him to walk as he was teetering . Tang Wulin supported his armpits gently to reduce the strain his body weight was putting on his legs .

"Senior, shall I carry you on my back?" said Tang Wulin .

"Sure!" said the old man frankly .

Tang Wulin squatted down to carry the elder on his back . The old man was light . With Tang Wulin's strength, he seemed weightless .

"Hmm, head there . What a kind young man you're . But, I must remind you, on Demon Island, kindness will get you nowhere . It might even bring you trouble," the elder's voice came from behind him . Tang Wulin only smiled . He continued walking quickly in the direction pointed by the elder .

The valley was wide, and the surface of the ground was not flat . Various kinds of plants grew well here . Tang Wulin had not come across many of the plants before . Also, he noticed with surprise that his blood essence power was restored between his breaths due to the overly dense life source here . He did not even have to meditate for that purpose . At the same time, it spurred the Mysterious Heaven Method into flowing within him, and it gradually recovered from its previous depletion as well .

As expected, the academy would not find a place where it was impossible for them to survive for their military training .

Tang Wulin walked very fast because he wanted to find the exit as soon as possible and bring his comrades here . He knew that if he did not go out soon enough, everybody would be flustered when he was gone too long .

They walked through the forest and Tang Wulin had almost completely recovered his cultivation base . The terrain before them suddenly sloped down . The ground's surface also turned into a swathe of purplish-black . What shocked him even more was that Tang Wulin saw the source of the gigantic purplish-black light column .

It was a colossal mineral rock which had an asymmetrical shape . It protruded from the ground inside the valley, the top portion exposed . The terrifying purplish-black light column extended skyward from the mineral rock . When he saw the rock, Tang Wulin felt an intense pain searing across his entire body . His body and soul felt as if they were about to fall apart . With a muffled grunt, he knelt to the ground on one knee .

Golden dragon scales appeared with the stimulus and swiftly covered his entire body . His battle armor was also unleashed in the next instant . Under their protection, Tang Wulin finally felt better .

"Eh?" The elder on Tang Wulin's back exclaimed with surprise . In the next moment, Tang Wulin had already risen to his feet again .

"Senior, are you alright?" He could not see the peculiar gaze of the elder behind him .

"Oh, I'm fine . I've already gotten used to everything here," said the elder . "You're truly not bad . There aren't many who could resist the Destruction Rock at first sight . Most people would've fainted . I thought that you'd faint too . "

Tang Wulin was slightly stunned . 'Faint? Since he knew that I could've fainted, why didn't he warn…'

His thoughts stopped abruptly when his field of vision suddenly went dark . He had no recollection of what happened afterward .

Tang Wulin fell limply to the ground . The elder retracted his hand which had hit Tang Wulin's neck . "What a foolish young man . How can such a foolish young man survive if he were to be put at our mercy? He's truly unafraid of dying being so friendly with a stranger . Nightmare, come out, come out! Throw this young man out . I want to see how he's going to bring those comrades of his into this place . "

A figure seemingly walked out of thin air and stood before the white-haired elder .

He too was an elder . He looked not much younger than the white-haired elder but his physique looked much tougher .

"Blight, is this the young man from this batch? Did he come in here himself?" Nightmare pointed at Tang Wulin who still had his battle armor on .

"Yeah! He came in himself, he seems not too bad . Throw him out . We'll see if he can bring his comrades in here by himself . " the elder named Blight waved his hand .

"Why me? Why can't you do it?" Nightmare said with great dissatisfaction .

Blight sniggered, "It's because you can't beat me . It's that simple . "

Nightmare glared . A faint, black airflow appeared around him . However, he returned to normal immediately . He hoisted Tang Wulin from the ground . "I don't have time for you . It's rare that we've gotten some little toys . I don't have time to spare for an old geezer like you . "

After he finished, his body swayed, and he vanished into thin air in the next instant .

Blight rubbed his hands together . His clear eyes were filled with excitement . "Yes! It's rare that we've gotten some little toys . I won't let them go that easily this time . How can I let them linger on the verge of collapsing but not collapse no matter what happens? Hmm, this is a very interesting question . My skills are quite rusty . I guess I'll just have to brush up my skills . "

When Tang Wulin came to, he was surrounded by worried gazes . Were these not his comrades?

"Captain, you're awake . " Xie Xie called out excitedly when he saw that Tang Wulin had regained consciousness,

Tang Wulin swiftly rolled over and sat up . He rubbed his neck . Apart from that, he did not feel any discomfort elsewhere in his body .

"How did I come back?"

Yue Zhengyu shrugged . "You just flew back here from the outside like a cannonball . It was Yuanen who caught you . What happened? Did you discover anything?"

Tang Wulin hummed for a moment, then he recounted his experience .

"Could it have been an illusion?" Ye Xinglan asked .

Tang Wulin shook his head . "No, it was not an illusion . My soul power and blood essence power had truly recovered . The dense life source of that place can't be faked . That place must be where we're supposed to go for our military training . We must somehow find a way in . "

"Okay!" Everyone had not restored their soul powers here whereas Tang Wulin's current condition was already at its peak .

Tang Wulin said to Xu Lizhi, "Give everyone two Recovery Pork Buns so that they can replenish their stamina until they're in peak condition . Then, give everyone a Bloodthirst Bean Bun just in case . Also, give everyone a Crystal Bun each . After making all these buns, can your soul power still support your battle armor's maximum defense?"

Xu Lizhi replied, "No problem . I'd only spent a small amount before this . I can do it . "

Crystal Bun was Xu Lizhi's fifth soul skill . After it was eaten, the consumer would have a layer of crystallite protective layer on the surface of his body for one minute . It would double the consumer's maximum defensive ability .

However, the Crystal Bun also had its own problems . The time needed to make it was longer . It was very difficult to make it during a fight . It must be prepared beforehand .

This was also the reason why Xu Lizhi could not make them in time for everyone when they faced the evil soul masters the other day .

The production of a single bun took ten minutes . It also put a great toll on his soul power . However, the effects of the Crystal Bun also worked on him .

While Xu Lizhi made Recovery Pork Buns for everyone to eat and replenish their stamina, Tang Wulin began to make arrangements for their exploit later .

After he thought about it carefully, he came up with a plan .

In terms of cultivation base, everyone had five rings . However, in terms of soul power, Yuanen Yehui was already at rank-58 . She was the closest to rank-60 . Ye Xinglan was at rank-56 . The others were mostly around rank-55 . Only Tang Wulin himself was still at rank-51 .

It was not much of a problem with soul powers . The most important part was the endurance of their bodies .
