Chapter 106 – Dragon’s Cave (2/2)
“No, it won’t work! You know, each and every teleportation post only works once every thirty minutes. During the time inbetween no one is able to be teleported! Stay where you are, and remain silent. If that beast in the cave is provoked, we’re all doomed! We’re blessed by the Heaven, or we would’ve certainly been discovered already!” Shisan wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead, as he replied.
Knowing the severity of the situation, Qinghan and Qingwu shut their mouths, and silently observed the surroundings.
“Grrr!”
All of a sudden, to their left, a thunder-like howl broke the silence, which scared the hell out of them! The four of them staggered in toddled steps, for their bodies were off balance after hearing this abrupt sound.
“The howl of a dragon? Have we been exposed?”
As the creepy sound gave Shiqi goosebumps, he released all of his Battle Qi in defense. While at the same time, he drew Qinghan near, ready to flee.
“Wait!” When Shisan was about to lift his legs, after grabbing Qingwu in one hand, he came up with a new discovery. Hastily, he drew Shiqi back, and yelled in a muffled voice.
“Shisan, what’s up?” Bewildered by Shisan’s sudden change of attitude, Shiqi asked impatiently.
“Grrr!”
Unexpectedly, another sound came amidst their conversation, which scared Shiqi to the ground. Flustered, he stared to the left, and extended his Battle Qi enwrapped sword, which had a glaring light on its edge, as he was fully prepared to launch a battle.
“Idiot! Withdraw your Battle Qi, now! The demonic beast hasn’t found us yet!” Although it took a full minute for Qinghan to calm down from the first sound, he had figured out something, and whispered to Shiqi in a scolding tone.
“What?” Hastily Shiqi held back all his Battle Qi, as confusion filled his eyes, he followed Shisan’s glance into the left cave. Given the magnitude of the sound, it must be a giant dragon. But, if they were discovered, the dragon could come to them and smash them instantly, why would he bother to howl so many times. Apparently, the dragon’s howl had nothing to do with the four of them. They were comparatively safe so far.
But, if Qinghan didn’t stop Shiqi from releasing his Battle Qi, they would, sooner or later, be discovered. If that happened, no matter how fast they could run, they wouldn’t be able to escape from this valley.
Dragons were long considered as high-ranked beasts, and even the weakest one could become an eighth-grade one. The imposing atmosphere created by the howling of the dragon fully penetrated through the air. Since the presence of the dragon was so self-telling, then how hadn’t the dragon found and devoured them yet? Instead, the dragon kept on howling.
“What shall we do now?”
With years of experience in life-and-death battles, both Shisan and Shiqi didn’t feel relieved by the temporary security. They danced on the edge of death whenever they received a risky task from the Ye Family. Yet, never had they felt as helpless as they did right now.
Half an hour ago, they had successfully escaped from the close chase of the enemies. At least, they were confident in protecting the young lords, and helping them out. Now, in face of an unseen mighty beast, rather than hundreds of demons or barbarians, they found themselves at a loss. It was still too early to predict whether they could survive or flee from this dragon-inhabited valley.
