Chapter 716: Sweeping the Dragon Lair (Second Update, requesting everything)

In this Secret Realm's Dragon Lair, there are a total of four types of dragons: Silver Dragons, Copper Dragons, Blue Dragons, and Green Dragons; there are no Gem Dragons.

Among the Color Dragons, Blue Dragons are extremely conceited and possess a very strong sense of territory; they are also the dragons most adept at digging.

Blue Dragons often hide in desert sand and stone, and what they love most are gemstones, especially sapphires.

At the same time, the features of a Blue Dragon are very easy to recognize; their massive ears and the single horn on their snout are their hallmarks, and their skin often emits a faint crackling sound due to powerful static electricity effects.

Among these four types of dragons, there are two Silver Dragons and two Copper Dragons, three Blue Dragons, and only one Green Dragon, totaling only eight dragons, all of which are already adults.

Even so, this is still quite rare and commendable.

As long as Li Zhangsheng becomes a King, he can create a Dragon Lair; for one, it can continuously produce dragons, which is of great benefit to himself and his family; for another, if enemies force their way into the Secret Realm, this batch of adult dragons can also assist in battle—these are all ready-made combat forces.

Of course, he must first subdue them.

Dragons are all arrogant; whether they are Color Dragons, Metal Dragons, or Gem Dragons, to gain their trust, one must either bribe them with vast amounts of gold and silver treasures or defeat them head-on.

When Li Zhangsheng entered, this group of dragons gave him a look of scrutiny, but out of wariness, they did not take the initiative to attack.

Although Aixi had reined in its aura, its physical size was still larger than any other dragon present.

"Good morning, everyone!"

Li Zhangsheng waved at the group of dragons, but these dragons keenly noticed that this human's gaze was always lingering, intentionally or otherwise, on their mountains of treasure.

Upon confirming that Li Zhangsheng was indeed eyeing their treasures, the group of dragons was filled with rage; these treasures were their lifeblood, so how could they allow an outsider to lay a finger on them?

A Silver Dragon suppressed its inner anger and was the first to ask: "Human, state your purpose."

Compared to the other dragons, the Silver Dragon appeared much wiser.

"Me? I've come this time to help you move house, and by the way, I'd like to take some treasures from your hands that catch my eye!"

Li Zhangsheng did not hide or hold back, stating his intentions directly.

To the dragons, Li Zhangsheng was provoking them; dragons are not the type to suffer a loss, and since forbearance had its limits, the eight dragons lunged at Li Zhangsheng one after another.

During this process, the general personalities of the dragons could be seen: the more reckless Blue Dragons took the lead, followed by the Silver and Copper Dragons, while the cunning Green Dragon deliberately hung back at the end.

"Sigh, I'd better help you cool down."

As the dragons lunged over, Li Zhangsheng gave his Monster Pet Bag a shake.

In an instant, an extremely massive figure appeared before Li Zhangsheng.

The three vanguard Blue Dragons could not stop their momentum in time and collided head-on with the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon; not only did they fail to knock the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon back, but they were forced to retreat two steps by the reaction force.

The Silver, Copper, and Green Dragons trailing behind were clearly startled and hurriedly stopped, looking up at the behemoth before them.

Roar—

The Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon looked down at its kin and opened its mouth to let out a Dragon Roar, which echoed incessantly in the cavern like a muffled thunderclap from afar, while also radiating an astonishing Dragon Might.

The eight dragons only felt a tightness in their chests, as if a great mountain were pressing down on them, and their legs, which were supporting them, could not help but tremble.

Dragons have a strong sense of hierarchy; although the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon did not make them feel the same way dragons do toward Sub-Dragons, it still left them quite terrified, and they could only exert at most fifty percent of their combat power.

Most importantly, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon was a Demon King-level dragon, while they were all only at the Lord level.

Spirit King Liu Yongtu's Dragon Lair had no Demon King-level dragon to hold the fort; for one, this Secret Realm was only open to clan members, and for another, the Langya Liu Clan did not possess a Demon King-level dragon.

Compared to the Imperial Family that sat upon the entire Langya Kingdom, the foundation of the Langya Liu Clan was still much lacking.

"Defeat them!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon immediately took action; in a single turn, its thick, long Dragon Tail swept across, and the three nearest Blue Dragons and two Copper Dragons bore the brunt of it—they didn't even have time to react before they were viciously struck by the tail.

Under an irresistible, overwhelming force, like a home run in baseball, the five dragons were sent flying involuntarily for a hundred meters before slamming heavily into the hard rock wall; it wasn't until two or three seconds later that they slid down from the wall.

Hitting dragons like hanging paintings!

Without exception, all five dragons lost their ability to fight.

If not for the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon holding back some of its strength, there might have been casualties among them.

How could dragons that could only exert fifty percent of their combat power be a match for the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon?

Seeing such a scene, the remaining Silver and Green Dragons were all terrified, but before they could have any thoughts, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon opened its mouth and spewed a breath of Dragon Breath, directly engulfing them all.

By the time the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon stopped its Dragon Breath, all eight dragons had lost their ability to fight without exception.

Roar—

The Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon looked up and let out a Dragon Roar; to it, this felt like an adult beating up eight children in a kindergarten—it was not just easy, but exceptionally so.

If they were facing other Demon King-level demon pets, the eight adult dragons would not have been so fragile; at the very least, they could have held out for a period of time.

Unfortunately, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon's Dragon Might made them feel heartfelt awe, causing their combat power to drop significantly, which led to this outcome.

Although these dragons had all been defeated, they were, after all, at the Lord level, and the difficulty of contracting them was quite high; even with the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon holding the fort and causing their willpower to drop severely, Li Zhangsheng still had to expend a massive amount of Mental Power to contract them all.

After completing the Temporary Contract, Li Zhangsheng casually summoned the Heavenly Double-Pupil Bird.

Universal Salvation!

The Heavenly Double-Pupil Bird shimmered with dazzling radiance, and under its control, beams of milky-white light descended, engulfing all eight dragons lying on the ground.

The next moment, the injuries of the eight dragons stabilized rapidly and recovered at an astonishing speed.

In just a few breaths' time, the injuries of the eight dragons were fully recovered, and they stood up from the ground, though their expressions were somewhat listless.

Universal Salvation is indeed the most effective group recovery skill; its effect is truly excellent, and it can definitely play a huge role on the battlefield.

However, although Light-type recovery skills are powerful, they cannot be used frequently, otherwise, there is a possibility of aftereffects.

"Eight of you, I will only take a few treasures that catch my eye; I won't take a single cent of the rest, and they will still be yours in the future!"

After saying this, Li Zhangsheng didn't care whether the eight dragons agreed or not, and using his special ability, he began to pick and choose among the eight mountains of treasure.

Being dragons themselves, these eight had been locked in the Dragon Lair, so their wealth was naturally far inferior to their counterparts outside.

Even so, based on energy fluctuations, Li Zhangsheng picked out four treasures that reached the Heavenly Essence Grade, as well as a few Inheritance Jade Slips.

Additionally, he also obtained two stalks of Dragon Whisker Grass.

Being Dragon Whisker Grass, compared to the Dragon Whisker Grass cultivated from the essence of an Ancestral Black Dragon's corpse, these two were much inferior; they could be said to be the lowest grade of Dragon Whisker Grass, which could only randomly grant a second characteristic, including Negative Characteristics!

Li Zhangsheng naturally had no intention of feeding them to his main demon pets; if they were temporary demon pets, he might give it a try, but now was not the time.

After Li Zhangsheng took away the treasures, the eight giant dragons were naturally a mix of happy and worried; the dragons that suffered no losses all breathed a sigh of relief, while the others looked dejected, their eyes filled with fury as they looked at Li Zhangsheng.

Forcibly seizing the treasures of giant dragons was not much different from taking their lives.

"As compensation, I will give these treasures to you!"

Seeing the state of the giant dragons, Li Zhangsheng smiled and took a large amount of gold and silver treasures out of his Space Ring.

These gold and silver treasures were a portion of what Li Zhangsheng had accumulated over this period; even if the treasure mountains of all eight giant dragons were added together, the quantity would only be on par with this batch of gold and silver.

Seeing so much gold and silver, the few giant dragons that had been glaring at Li Zhangsheng instantly changed their expressions; all resentment vanished, and they hurriedly rushed over to divide the gold and silver to replenish their treasure mountains.

The other giant dragons also wanted to join the scramble, but they were blocked by the sub-ancestral black dragon and could only stand to the side, filled with envy, Jealousy, and hatred.

In just a few breaths of time, this mountain of treasure was completely divided up.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng finally asked: "By the way, where are your Dragon Eggs?"

"They were all taken away by those damned fellows!"

The one who answered this time was a blue dragon; the Langya Liu Clan had taken the Dragon Eggs mainly to strengthen their top-tier combat power.

It was no wonder there were only these eight giant dragons in the Dragon Lair of this Secret Realm; if the Dragon Eggs were left to accumulate in the Dragon Lair, the population of the giant dragons would slowly increase.

"Alright, pretend I didn't ask!"

With no Dragon Eggs in the Dragon Lair, Li Zhangsheng inevitably felt a pang of regret and made up his mind to work even harder to plunder the Langya Liu Clan.

"Alright, I should be going now. Do you want me to help you store your treasures, or will you handle them yourselves?"

Li Zhangsheng had already been in the Secret Realm for two hours; if travel time were excluded, there was less than an hour remaining.

"We will handle them ourselves!"

The eight giant dragons shouted in unison, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would embezzle their treasures; one by one, they opened their mouths wide and swallowed large amounts of treasure directly, though it was unknown where they stored them.

However, this method could only store them for a short time; otherwise, if the time were too long, these treasures would be corroded.

After the giant dragons swallowed all the treasures, Li Zhangsheng took them into his Monster Pet Bag, and after confirming there were no omissions, he rode Aixi out of the Dragon Lair and appeared at the foot of the small hill on the right.
