Chapter 863: Getting Rich Overnight (First update, requesting everything)

It is for this reason that the dragons of this world tend to group together, often led by Demon King-level dragons.

Aside from the black dragon Harikuchi, all the dragons Li Zhangsheng had encountered in the past two years were of the grouping variety.

As for the black dragon Harikuchi, the reason it did not group up was mainly because it wanted to monopolize the corpse of the ancestral black dragon; it only took in a few dragons as subordinates after it reached the Demon King-level and had sufficient confidence.

It can be said that dragons that do not group together are either very strong or have their own reasons.

Just by sensing them, Li Zhangsheng discovered that no fewer than twenty golden dragons were flying over.

Among them, several were far smaller in size than the golden dragons, clearly still in the Growth Stage.

While the golden dragons were gathering toward this side, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen summoned their Demon Pets without a sound.

Because of the distance, even with the eyesight of golden dragons, by the time they saw the appearance of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen clearly, they were only a thousand meters away.

When the first Adult Golden Dragon saw Li Zhangsheng's appearance clearly, it was visibly shocked; especially when it saw Luobujisi lying on the ground without a head, the Adult Golden Dragon was instantly filled with endless fear.

The key was that this was not the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm; in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, one could be resurrected after death, but dying here meant truly dying.

Consequently, the Adult Golden Dragon turned and ran, using every ounce of its strength to flee.

"Datou, I leave it to you!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Datou, who had transformed into a Golden-Eyed Peng, let out a sharp cry and, like an arrow released from a bow, quickly pursued this golden dragon.

"Run, run quickly! That guy who killed us in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm has come again, the leader has already been killed by him!"

The first Adult Golden Dragon shouted in obscure, difficult-to-understand Draconic while fleeing.

Upon hearing the voice of this golden dragon, the other Adult Golden Dragons hurriedly slammed on the 'emergency brakes'; the fear of being dominated by Li Zhangsheng surfaced in their minds, and having no thoughts of avenging their leader, they turned and ran.

In the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, these Adult Golden Dragons knew Li Zhangsheng's strength very well, not to mention that their leader had been killed; even if all the golden dragons gathered together, how could they possibly be Li Zhangsheng's opponents?

Under these circumstances, they had and could only choose to flee.

The remaining few underage golden dragons, seeing their elders fleeing in panic, also subconsciously followed suit.

Although there were more than twenty golden dragons, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets added up to more than twenty as well, so there would be no fish slipping through the net.

The next moment, under Li Zhangsheng's direction, each Demon Pet locked onto its own target, mainly based on their speed.

The fast Demon Pets naturally targeted the golden dragons further away, while the slower ones usually targeted the closer golden dragons.

An interesting thing happened along the way: some golden dragons, in the process of fleeing, remembered their treasures that they valued more than their lives and ended up flying toward their respective Dragon Lairs.

Although they knew full well that this would waste precious escape time, these golden dragons still did so.

Life is precious, but treasures are worth more; these golden dragons demonstrated this saying to the fullest.

In just a few breaths of time, the first fleeing Adult Golden Dragon was intercepted by Datou.

Although it had not advanced to the Demon King-level, Datou's strength was almost comparable to an ordinary Demon King-level Spirit Beast, so how could an Adult Golden Dragon compare? In a few moves, it defeated the Adult Golden Dragon and flew back to Li Zhangsheng while clutching it.

However, Datou was not the fastest.

Aixi returned a step earlier with an Adult Golden Dragon in her mouth, seeking credit from Li Zhangsheng.

Returning with Datou were Kailan and the Great Sun Fire Crow; Kailan had hog-tied an Adult Golden Dragon with vines and was dragging it back with her petite body—the scene was quite abrupt.

Although their targets were further away than Datou's, they were faster and their combat power was clearly stronger, which is why they returned so quickly.

Seeing such a scene, Datou became even more eager to break through to the Demon King-level.

Soon, the other Demon Pets also returned one after another, all of them without exception having made a haul.

Unexpectedly, the one with the biggest haul was the Chi Dragon; this guy caught three golden dragons in total, but one golden dragon had returned to its Dragon Lair, and there were two underage golden dragons in this lair, so naturally, all were defeated and captured by the Chi Dragon without exception.

The harvest this time was huge, with 22 golden dragons alone.

In addition, there were five Dragon Eggs.

Aside from some other things, there were the treasures of the golden dragons and the dragon corpse of Luobujisi.

As for the sub-dragon slaves of the golden dragons, their numbers were too large; unless they took things they shouldn't have, Li Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to spend the energy to manage them.

Among this batch of golden dragons, Li Zhangsheng naturally discovered Margaret, who had once provided him with information.

Margaret also hadn't expected Li Zhangsheng's actions to be so fast, but it didn't feel panicked about this, because due to the binding power of the Heavenly Dao Oath, its safety was sufficiently guaranteed.

Not only did Margaret not feel panicked, but it was actually full of anticipation, because it had not yet received its reward.

To avoid being seen through by the other golden dragons, Margaret pretended to be panicked on the surface and lowered its massive head.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng placed a Temporary Contract on all the golden dragons present and put the five Dragon Eggs into the Dangkang Necklace Space.

In this way, unless a golden dragon broke through to the Demon King-level, it would be impossible to escape Li Zhangsheng's control.

"From now on, you must all follow my arrangements. As for the treasures you have collected, I will only take a few items; I will not take anything else."

Upon hearing Li Zhangsheng's arrangements, the golden dragons breathed a sigh of relief, though they inevitably felt a pang of heartache; after all, the treasures that could catch Li Zhangsheng's eye would likely be their best collections.

However, this was already the best outcome for them, so the golden dragons had no choice but to follow Li Zhangsheng's orders with extreme reluctance.

As for avenging their leader Luobujisi, not one of the golden dragons present dared to put it into action, and even fewer hated Li Zhangsheng.

The reason was simple: over these years, Luobujisi had frequently snatched their treasures, and given the extent to which dragons value wealth, how could they not be angry about it?

It wasn't that they didn't want to leave this place, but without Luobujisi's protection, they would likely be captured or killed by humans, so they could only continue to stay here.

After 'persuading' these golden dragons, Li Zhangsheng began to loot the spoils of this battle.

Although there were 22 golden dragons, many of them were couples, and several underage golden dragons were also living with their parents.

It was for this reason that there were only twelve Dragon Lairs in total.

Even so, the magnitude of the gains this time was still enough to make one marvel.

Just the entire collection of Luobujisi was enough to make Li Zhangsheng feel that the trip was worthwhile, not to mention the collections of the other twenty-two golden dragons; it could even be described as getting rich overnight.
