Chapter 1010 - Not a Dragon (1/2)

The dragon considered it for a moment but then just sighed and got up again, not paying any attention to Ma Zhi Wu for now. Before taking care of that, they should see if there were other survivors. Especially people they might still be able to save.

Inside the cell, Shao Hai who had still been standing, ready to defend Xiao Dong, collapsed onto the ground. He had seen how that man had looked at Ma Zhi Wu and then just got up and walked away. This … This had to mean that there was no way to save him anymore, right? That he was actually already …

He closed his eyes again, cursing himself for being useless. If only he had taken that key and then closed the door from outside, throwing it back inside to Xiao Dong so he could get out himself later on. Then he could have helped Ma Zhi Wu against these disciples. If he had been able to hold back at least one of them, then maybe this wouldn't have happened. Maybe he would still be …

The dragon turned toward him at that sound and then glanced at the person behind him. His eyes widened and he rushed over to the door, not even bothering to say anything or look for the key. He extended his claws and then cut down the bars, only wincing at the pain that followed from touching the material the Chun Feng Sect had used.

He shook his hand but then threw the bars away, rushing inside. He ignored Shao Hai for the moment and knelt down in front of Xiao Dong, cupping his cheeks. ”Hey! Are you alright?”

Xiao Dong blinked his eyes, trying to focus his gaze on the person in front of him. ”You …” He narrowed his eyes, feeling that this person looked slightly familiar.

Hearing that Xiao Dong was still able to answer and at least seemed conscious enough to realize that somebody was talking to him, the dragon gave a relieved smile. ”His Majesty sent us to break you out of here. We'll bring you back home.” He helped Xiao Dong onto his feet but seeing how he swayed from side to side, he just picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. Before he left the cell, he turned back to Shao Hai. ”You can also leave here, boy. Be careful when you go out though. There are traps outside. If you can't find the way on your own, then follow one of our people.”

Shao Hai still looked at Ma Zhi Wu in a daze before he looked up at the man in front of them that was trying to take away Xiao Dong. He didn't quite understand what was happening but at least he felt that this person wasn't trying to hurt them. ”What … What about Ma Zhi Wu?”

The dragon raised his brows. ”I'm afraid I don't know who you are talking about.”

Shao Hai raised his hand, pointing at Ma Zhi Wu shakily.

The dragon glanced over, giving yet another sigh. ”I'm afraid there's nothing we can do anymore. He was already pretty weakened and they got him quite badly.”

”That can't be. We have to do something to help him!”

”We could at most put him out of his misery.” The dragon shook his head and then glanced at the person lying on his shoulder. ”Anyway, we only came to get him. What everybody else does is none of our concern.” And they didn't even know if that person over there was a demon.

”But … He helped us! If not for him, then Xiao Dong and I would already be …”
