Chapter 527: The Ultimate Delicacy!
"How did they... oh, you transformed just now." Negris was puzzled, but realized it the moment the words left its mouth.
Just now, Ang had transformed into the Dragon God and blasted that powerful will to pieces. The aura must have been sensed by these dragons, perhaps even triggering bloodline suppression. This kind of information at the bloodline level could only be received by dragons, and it couldn't fool a dragon.
Negris was distressed. Where were they going to find a Dragon God now? Ang had just finished transforming and couldn't transform again so quickly.
However, it soon discovered that Anthony and Du Luo Ken had both turned their gazes toward it.
"Let me impersonate the Dragon God? I can't believe you guys thought of that. With my thin arms and legs, how do I look like a Dragon God?" Negris grumbled as it flew out of the Warlock Ladder toward the dragons.
Xierba, who was responsible for guarding it, hurriedly corrected: "It's the Dragon God's Envoy, Dragon God's Envoy. The Dragon God just exchanged a move with the Extinction Warlock and is currently in enlightenment. He cannot be disturbed; you can only pay respects tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, Dragon God's Envoy." Negris curled its lip in disdain. Even if it was a fake, it was still the God of Common Sense; being a Dragon God's Envoy was too demeaning.
The female red dragon looked at the approaching Negris, blinked in confusion, and then looked up at the fifty-meter-long black dragon.
They recognized this one; it was recorded in their bloodline inheritance as the unluckiest black dragon in history, Dalhan Diyawala. How unlucky? He went out and ran into the Undead Monarch, then was captured, petrified, and stuffed into the Hall of Knowledge.
"Lord Dalhan?" the red dragon asked tentatively.
Xierba nodded: "It's you, Diya Li. This is the avatar of the Dragon God's Envoy, Negris."
Xierba recognized this female red dragon. Dragons had very long lifespans; don't look at the fact that they had been driven out of the plane for hundreds of years—most of the dragons had lived from that time until now.
"Dragon God's Envoy? What Dragon God's Envoy? The Dragon God has an envoy? Where is the Dragon God?" Diya Li asked in confusion.
Negris said irritably: "The Dragon God just exchanged a move with the Lord of Extinction and has some new insights into power. Do not disturb him for now. You can pay respects tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xierba suddenly understood. Clearly, Anthony was more eloquent, yet they insisted on having Negris come forward. Look at this impatient, irritable, and fearless lackey posture—it was the spitting image of an envoy with a big backer standing behind him. There was no need to act; this was its true nature.
But it was indeed its true nature; Negris was indeed the most suitable envoy to represent Ang.
Diya Li's expression shook: "The Lord of Extinction?! Then we will pay respects tomorrow, we will pay respects tomorrow. Thank you, Lord Negris, for coming to the rescue. Diya Li is extremely grateful."
Negris waved its hand nonchalantly: "No need to thank me. They are all juniors of our own family; how could we let you be slaughtered by those warlocks? But what exactly happened? How did you end up here? Tell me in detail."
"Alright, alright, please, Lord Negris, Lord Dalhan, please come to Longdao to talk. May I ask how old you are this year, Lord Negris?" Diya Li made a gesture of invitation.

With a body the size of a bean, yet it casually said they were all juniors. Just how old must this Lord Negris be?
"About fifteen thousand years old, yo," Negris sighed.
Everyone flew toward the 'land' floating in the void. This place had been named Longdao by the dragons. It was an irregular long strip, five or six hundred kilometers long, and three or four hundred kilometers wide at its widest point. There were many caves on it, some of which were interconnected, forming a very complex cave system inside.
Landing on Longdao, Negris discovered that there was very thin air on the surface of the land; it wasn't completely void. It had seen this kind of environment before; the Eternal Road was this kind of environment.
"Why is there air? Is there a Farm Barrier here?" Negris asked.
"What barrier? Air? It is indeed released by a barrier. How did you know, my lord?" Diya Li said.
Of course it knew; the barrier was built by them. Negris didn't say anything, just smiled inscrutably.
Led by Diya Li, they arrived in front of a cave. When entering, Negris waved to the back, and Ang and the others flew out from the Warlock Ladder that had been following them.
Although she didn't recognize these people, Diya Li still nodded gratefully to everyone, thanking them for coming to the rescue. If there hadn't been a rescue, the Dragon Clan would surely have been in dire straits this time.
For a long time, the Warlock Alliance had been eyeing the Dragon Clan, believing them to be the best pets for summoners, racking their brains to capture them for breeding. The Dragon Clan had been driven off the ground by undead creatures and then driven to such a distant place by the Warlock Alliance, living an incomparably miserable life.
Entering the cave, they twisted and turned deep inside. After walking for a while, Ang suddenly stopped and tapped the cave wall next to him: "Petrified wood."
Negris hurriedly leaned over to look. Sure enough, the cave wall clearly had the texture of a plant, very much like the state of wood after being petrified.
"Petrified wood? Who is so idle to petrify a pile of wood? Could it be that this place was built using petrified wood?" Negris asked in confusion.
The God of Life poked its head out from Ang's shoulder, took a look, and said: "It wasn't built using petrified wood; rather, this place is the inside of petrified wood."
"Hiss—you mean this 'land' is a petrified tree? Then isn't it much bigger than you? How big must this tree be? Who could petrify such a large tree?" Negris said in shock.
The God of Life shook its head: "Perhaps only a part of it is petrified wood, but it must be very large; you can tell by the texture. Petrifying it doesn't require anything; time is enough. Any wood that doesn't rot in the soil can potentially petrify after hundreds of thousands of years."
With the God of Life saying this, Negris suddenly remembered that when those primeval forests were buried by volcanic ash, some petrified wood would indeed easily appear. This was a natural phenomenon. Doesn't that mean these petrified woods might have a history of hundreds of thousands of years?
What kind of tree grows this big? Harboring this question, the group entered a huge space deep underground.
The caves here were actually very large and wide, allowing even dragons to easily enter and exit. This space was even more so, at least tens of kilometers wide; stuffing a city in here wouldn't be a problem.
Here, everyone saw large patches of fluffy 'wood shavings,' and countless insects as big as sheep were wriggling in these shavings, eating until they were white and plump.
A red dragon rummaged through the wood shavings, pulled out a fat white worm, poked it from the butt with a wooden stick, and *poof*, green sauce exploded out.
Threading them into strings and lining them up in front of a stone slab, the red dragon took a deep breath, brewed for a moment, and then breathed dragon breath at the worm strings, roasting the worms until the outside was golden, crispy, and fragrant, before presenting them.
"I am really sorry. Everyone came to rescue us, but we don't have anything good to entertain you. This is our only food. I hope you don't mind," Diya Li said very embarrassedly.
The first batch was presented to the reinforcements, and the remaining dragons didn't stand on ceremony, rushing into the wood shavings, each rummaging for worms. Those who were particular roasted them themselves, while those who weren't just threw them directly into their mouths to eat raw, one bite at a time.
Looking at the worms that looked like fat sheep, everyone exchanged glances. Negris said in disdain: "This is your only food? Don't you have small fat sheep, tuna, big flying dragons, or something like that? Is it this miserable?"
Hearing those terms from Negris, Diya Li's saliva secretion accelerated uncontrollably, and then she shook her head.
"What about vegetables and fruits? Don't you get constipated? Teething sticks? None of them? You guys are living too miserably! Oh, how pitiful. Come, come, eat some beet fruits, dried roasted meat, or something. Oh, do you want fruit juice?" Negris signaled Ang to take out some food.
Looking at the fresh vegetables and fruits, Diya Li couldn't help but drool; on the contrary, she didn't even look at the dried roasted meat. Although dragons didn't like vegetarian food, if they hadn't eaten it for hundreds of years, these were the ultimate delicacies!
