Chapter 425: Capturing the Red Dragon
The cultivators all rushed towards the valley, and when they arrived three burns of an incenseter, they didnt dare spread their auras out of concern theyd alert the red dragon. They all showed somber expressions while sneaking towards the valley like a bunch of thievesthe battle prowess of a true dragon wasnt something anyone could look down on.
The full-mastery Golden Cores hid behind the clouds and looked into the valley below, where they did indeed see a red dragon rolling around in a muddy pond. They all felt a bit of excitement and fear; they were cultivators whod arrived at the uppermost limit of the Golden Core Stage and their battle prowess was extraordinary, but faced with this red dragon, all three of them were worried andcking confidence.
Were going to attack?
With the three of us together, well be able to go for a fight, but the chances are not too great. How about this: first we form a formation in advance to trap this red dragon inside the valley, then well wait until assistance from our ns arrives. Well need at least five full-mastery Golden Cores to ensure it doesnt manage to escape, and well need at least ten to easily capture it Elder Fangzheng of the Fengtian n slowly spoke, analyzing the situation clearly and logically.
What Elder Fangzheng said is indeed correct. Our current main purpose is to<em>protect</em>Miss Magu; if all three of us were to attack the red dragon and fight it out, what would we then do to actually capture it? If anything were to happen, itll be toote to even feel regret! The Baiyue ns Elder Linglong dered, cing specific emphasis on the word protect to clearly mean keep a close eye on.
Indeed! The Yushou ns Elder Xiong also agreed with the decision, and Elder Linglong took out a set of formation gs unique to the Baiyue n before exining how to use them. Elder Fangzheng took three gs, Elder Xiong took three others, and Elder Linglong took the remaining two gs for herself before they made their way to different sections around the valley.
How did you the Yushou n find this red dragon exactly? Magu quietly asked one of the Yushou ns Exalts while standing lightly in mid-air.
The Exalt quickly answered, Miss Xunlong, we came over after sensing the unique messaging tool of our n, although the person who used the messaging tool wasnt there when we arrived and their aura was nowhere to be found. I imagine they must have been discovered by the red dragon when they discovered it and they were attacked, resulting in misfortune. Fortunately, they were able to activate the messaging tool before their death.
<em>How could it be such a coincidence the red dragon was close by? Could this be a trap?</em>Magu creased her brows and looked towards the Venerated Youth beside her before asking a few more questions in detail, but the answers left her even more confused. Based on the Exalts reply, theyd waited here for over an hour yet still did not find any traces of the red dragons owner. This dragon had instead be akin to a wild peril beast and had been ying in the valley below on its own all this time.
The Venerated Youth looked around, and although his expression remained nk, he was inwardly filled with rm.<em>The great has been cast and capturing that Xing-named kid is only a matter of time, but why did he reveal himself so soon? This red dragon actually appeared here; could Xing Fang have gone to the Rising Immortals Altar? Even if he didnt, though, he must already know were after him after killing the Yushou nsmen, so why did he not flee together with the red dragon?</em>
The Venerated Youth truly hadnt expected to capture them so soon. He knew the kid was cunning and calcting, and someone who was capable of destroying the entire Hentian n on their own certainly wasnt easy to go up against. Hed assumed that if this person learned everyone in the Guixu Ruins was after him, hed definitely take the red dragon and hide in a location with very few people. Later on, he might decide to risk it or perhaps simply give up on the red dragon altogether in exchange for their cooperation and a chance to enter the depths of the Guixu Ruins.
No matter which choice this Xing Fang made, hed still end up in the Venerated Youths hands and be controlled by him, yet the red dragon had appeared so easily today while Xing Fang had disappeared, causing the Venerated Youth some uncertainty. Although others might believe their objective was the red dragon, he and Magu both understood all too well that their true target was the dragons owner. If they couldnt find him and get the bronze mirror in his possession, these ns would have been all for naught.
<em>Where exactly did that brat go?</em>The pair began to feel a bit agitated, and as the Venerated Youth thought on it, all manner of guesses started to pop into his mind. Although he had the bloodline of the ancient Foremost Perils Vermillion Bird and would be particrly powerful when fully matured, he was someone who preferred utilizing tactics. After being disadvantaged by Fang Xing twice, he wanted to capture Fang Xing more than anything; not only did he want to take the bronze mirror, he also wanted to vent all of his anger and was even more determined to find him.
Unfortunately, the more he thought on it, the more chaotic his thoughts became until he was no longer sure what Fang Xings purpose actually was anymore. Of course, he would probably never consider Fang Xing was approaching it from apletely different angle and wasnt thinking of how to escape at all.
The Fengtian ns Fangzheng, Baiyue ns Linglong, and Yushou ns Xiong Hu allnded at three different locations surrounding the valley and started cing the formation gs at specific angles to quietly trap the red dragon inside. Theyd have a better chance of facing the red dragon and keeping any idents from urring once the others from their ns arrived.
Their actions were very soft out of fear they might wake the red dragon napping below, but when five of the eight gs were set with thest three remaining, the dragon seemed to sense something and abruptly woke up. It raised its head on full alert, and two hot fumes blew from its nostrils as its murderous gaze fell right upon Fengtians Elder Fangzheng.
Elder Fangzheng was merely cing a formation g into the crack of a stone when he suddenly felt a chill along his spine. He immediately turned in surprise and two pairs of eyes met, causing a thinyer of sweat to form on his forehead. He felt it might be nothing more than a coincidence and that the red dragon might not have truly seen him, but he soon heard a low roar and the dragon suddenly rushed towards him.
<em>Swoosh</em>.
A red shadow shot into the sky like a sharp arrow with its tip pointed directly at Elder Fangzheng.
The red dragon has been alerted! Attack! Elder Fangzheng shouted in shock before reflexively drawing his sword. He hadnt even been given enough time to wonder how hed managed to alert this dragon despite being so careful before he caused his de to lightly quiver and sent a sword wave surging towards the valley below. After seeing the red dragon in such a state, hed immediately decided to attack; given the great size of the Guixu Ruins, it would be extremely difficult to find this red dragon again if it managed to escape.
<em>Boom</em>!
The red dragon shot up and directly mmed head-first against the oing sword wave, only to break past and continue rushing towards Elder Fangzheng. When Elder Fangzheng saw how the sword wave was unable to protect him, he panicked and immediately activated Teleportation, causing his body to sh and relocate a hundred feet away. He did not dare to take this red dragons attack head-on so soon or hed end up heavily wounded.
When Elder Linglong saw this, she let out a low sigh and nced towards Elder Xiong Hu. Lets go!
Lets go! Xiong Hu loudly called out in response while forming his hands into seals. Four blurry shadows flew out from his storage sack and into the sky, where they began to growrger and let out low growls filled with murderous intent. Once the shadows grewrge enough, they were revealed to be a Four-Armed Peril Ape, a Red-Haired Giant Bear, a Silver-Tailed Blood Wolf, and a One-Horned Blue-Eyed Serpent.
Fourth-tier peril beasts!
