Chapter 734 - 734 724 Astonishing
Chapter 734: Chapter 724: Astonishing! Chapter 734: Chapter 724: Astonishing! “The advancements are too slow at present,” Mureya said, seated on his throne, frowning as he looked at the map. He had drawn a relatively simplified map of the Evil Dragon Peninsula based on a duplicated original.
On this map, most of it was colored in grey. Near the seaside, however, there was a brilliant golden dot currently radiating golden light, covering the grey area. Roughly only about one-tenth of the area had been covered by the golden light. This was the actual controlled area after Triple Sweep by the giants.
This was one of the disadvantages of the no man’s land. Without a real ruler, if Mureya wanted to really take this land into his control, he had to send his army to conquer the land inch by inch.
Otherwise, his “rule” would be a joke. According to his plan, all entities in this region that were stronger than the Gold Rank had to be under his administration, or at least be registered and have their movements tracked. Only then, Mureya could confidently say that he had included this area into his rule.
It was precisely because of Mureya’s thought that the Cloud Giants’ advancement was quite slow at the moment, and their overly aggressive actions had triggered the resistance of the local creatures. Some powerful Extraordinary Beasts were uniting, and even some Five Colored Dragons joined them.
However, Mureya didn’t know about these. Even if he did, he wouldn’t care, because the number of Legends he currently had access to was unimaginable. It could still easily clear the Evil Dragon Peninsula.
…
“Mom, why are there so many Cloud Giants here? And how come they are different from the giants we know?” The golden dragon Shota, who was flying in the sky with his mother’s magic, timidly looked at the Cloud Giant below, who was beating a Gold Rank ferocious beast. The Cloud Giants below were far from the polite Cloud residents he knew from the castle. They not only looked taller but also emitted murderous vibes.
“The existence of the Cloud Giants indicates that the coordinates he gave us weren’t wrong,” said two adult dragons who had been doubtful. Usually, there would be Cloud Giants around the Dragon Nest of golden dragons.
However, these unusual giants made them think otherwise. Everything in front of them indicated that the Golden Dragon coming to visit them was different from the golden dragon they knew.
“Legends… and two Soul-intent Metal Dragons.” All of a sudden, the violent sound of rough winds came from the front of the dragon group who were watching the severely mutated Cloud Giants below. Then, the clouds that had been hiding them were blown away in an instant, exposing them to the blue sky.
The Giant Peng cried out, surrounding the golden dragon group who were about to visit Mureya with three Storm Giants riding on Giant Pengs. Around them, there were seven Storm Giants without mounts. On the ground, the vigilant Cloud Giants also flew into the sky. Due to long-term training, they unconsciously formed a battle formation while flying up, which exerted enormous pressure on the young dragons.
“Metal Dragons, where are you going?” Although these giants were surrounding them, they didn’t make any offensive moves. Instead, they were precautionary as the aura they had on them clearly identified them as the Metallic Dragon Clan, Mureya’s own family. So, the attitude should not be too harsh.
…
“Gold dragons want to pay me a visit?” Soon, Xena Pus’s Mureya received the news. He then immediately remembered the crystal he left a few days ago. He slapped his forehead.
Without any accident, it should be those two golden dragon Lolis and young Jita who brought their parents to visit him. But he didn’t expect them to arrive so soon.
Mureya’s Xena Pus was already in a state of war. Martial law had been implemented all the way so it was heavily guarded. And now, the invitees who wanted to visit were under review by his Giant Familiars, “This is much faster than expected. It has only been a few days.”
“Let’s see what my visitors look like?” Soon, an image formed in front of Mureya. As expected, they were the three golden dragon cubs who wanted to play with him. There was a blond beauty and a cool and dyed-haired elder sister, with a stern-looking middle-aged uncle by their side.
“It’s really them.” Mureya sighed inexorably, It was his negligence. “Let them come in. They are my invited guests. Send a Storm Knight to escort them, show the way, and bring them to the Wind King Castle.”
…
“The situation seems a bit bad, can you win against these giants?” asked Xierwa through a mental link role to her sister, amidst the golden dragon party who dared not move as they were surrounded by numerous giants. Meanwhile, William, who was behind her, was covered in sweat. As the three legends had targeted him, he didn’t dare to move at all.
“These Cloud Giants, though they’ve mutated quite a lot, wouldn’t be a problem in a one-on-one fight. For the Storm Giants without a mount, I should be able to win. But it would be difficult for the ones with a mount,” said Silver Dragon Gwen, with a stern expression. She naturally bore a deadpan face. Hence, no one knew that she was actually trembling in fear. As it turned out, the adults were correct. One should not roam about unless they become a legend.
“One-on-one?” Xierwa revealed a look of helpless amusement. “Who do you think among these giants would engage in a one-on-one duel with you?”
“Take it easy, can’t you see? They’ve surrounded us but there’s no malice in their intent, perhaps they’re the familiars of the Golden Dragon we’ve come to visit.”
“Your humor leaves much to be desired.”
“Otherwise, how would you explain the origin of these giants? Such exaggerated mutation wasn’t present among the giants on the Evil Dragon Peninsula.”
“However, if these giants have already mutated to this degree, heaven knows how powerful their master may be? Is it truly the Golden Dragon we’ve come to pay a visit?”
“Perhaps it is, and the possibilities are not slim.”
As these two adult metallic dragons were discussing, a Storm Giant suddenly spoke to them: “Follow me, Prince Mureya has agreed to grant you an audience!”
…
“Welcome to Xena Pus!” Once the Storm Giant escorting these dragons had reached the periphery of Xena Pus, Mureya, who had been observing their arrival, promptly lifted the concealment enchantment from the area.
Following this, 132 Cloud Islands of various sizes came into view. Each island bore clear traces of civilization, resonating with five-colored spirit light. Many Cloud Islands still had enormous magic cannons being installed underneath, all in the process of defensive modification. The completed magic cannons wouldn’t visually reveal themselves until time to attack.
“Is this where the big brother lives? It’s beautiful!” The two Golden Dragon Lolis and the Golden Dragon Shota all looked up at Xena Pus, their mouths dropping open in astonishment and excitement.
“Big brother didn’t lie to us, his home is really fun.”
“The coordinates are correct.” Already a bit dazed, Xierwa pulled out the crystal that recorded the spatial coordinates again to double-check. It was indeed consistent with their current location; they had not arrived at the wrong place.
“Just who is this Golden Dragon that visited your home? We had guessed it to be Sky City, but what is even Sky City compared to these Cloud Islands?” Silver Dragon Gwen looked at a group of Mountain Giants currently installing Magic Cannons, her mouth twitching.
Looking at the current scene, who knows what was concealed inside these seemingly peaceful Cloud Islands? The outer rocks and soil all seemed to be disguised with special metals.
“Please proceed! Prince Mureya is waiting for you above.” The Storm Giant Knight left after a brief bow, as soon as a contingent of Cloud Giants flew down from the Central Cloud Island, continuing to his assigned tasks.
“Big brother.” As a retinue of Cloud Giants escorted them onto the Central Cloud Island, the family of dragons along with Dragonborn William immediately saw a teenage boy with black hair and golden pupils, who was smiling their way.
Seeing Mureya, the Golden Dragon Shota ran towards him with a cheer, and the two Golden Dragon Lolis also seemed eager to join, but were a tad older and knew to be reserved. Although, after a moment, they too crowded around Mureya, being instinctively drawn to him.
“Welcome to Xena Pus, my territory, a paradise for the Dragon Race,” Mureya greeted with a smile.
“…” Looking up at the grand Wind King Castle in the distance, the gigantic metal warships parked around it, and the Star Gate distorting the Void afar, Golden Dragon Xierwa tried to say something but ended up speechless. The scene had exceeded her imagination. Before visiting Mureya, she definitely hadn’t anticipated that a Golden Dragon, who had voluntarily visited her home, would be residing in such a place.
“So many powerful beings!” Unlike the two adult dragons who had been superficially observing the surroundings, the now legendary William was not interested in outward appearances. He was keenly sensing the aura of powerful beings encountered on their journey. At the lower Cloud Islands, the presence of these powerful beings hadn’t been strong, but as they ascended, the aura of power drastically increased.
Upon reaching the Central Cloud Island, he could clearly feel the presence of at least a dozen legendary beings. The power of these beings was astonishing; ten legends alone were considered the strength of a kingdom according to human standards. This was not merely a floating city but a kingdom in the sky!
