The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 164

Dragon Territory

Having two dragon soldiers by his side was the best numerical choice.

This number allowed Su Li to think carefully before the Raven’s successful hatching about whether to choose to eliminate them and avoid the center of this war’s whirlwind, or to maintain the identity setting that Elvi had proactively added, directly spreading this identity throughout the entire Winged Tribe and gaining corresponding influence within the dragon clan as well.

Choosing the former meant chaos would have nothing to do with him, and the only thing he would have to face would be just two dragon soldiers.

But if he chose the latter, then he could walk the tightrope high in the air without any protection, completely unrestrained—

This was a good choice.

Su Li curved his eyes and began quietly waiting for the Raven’s successful upgrade.

Everything remained chaotic and disorderly.

Collapsed buildings, humanoid monster beasts in complete disarray, and dragons who couldn’t control themselves from transforming back into their original forms when facing crisis.

Su Li wasn’t surprised at all that the Winged Tribe would be the first to stir up disputes in monster beast society.

High-altitude combat was practically cheating.

Rather than thinking about how to shoot down birds flying in the sky, it was better to let them choose to step down from their high platform themselves.

He just didn’t know whether Elvi had discovered this point, or felt that even if discovered, it didn’t matter…

While thinking, a large amount of dark elements emerged around the Raven’s eggshell.

Through the monocle’s perspective, Su Li could clearly see cracks appearing on the eggshell, and numerous elements were flowing into the interior of the eggshell through the cracks.

“Crack——” “Crack crack.”

The sound of the eggshell breaking externally appeared accompanied by the sound of bones knocking against hard tissue from within.

Heartbeat sounds, as if pressed close to a living being’s chest, continuously echoed in the air. The dragon soldiers nearby couldn’t help but become excited. “It’s about to succeed!” “Her Excellency Elvi will definitely become even stronger!”

Whether the giant dragon would become stronger or not, Su Li didn’t know, but Su Li knew that the dragon would never obtain the Raven’s genes.

The commotion of the Raven’s upgrade couldn’t be called earth-shaking, but the concentration of dark elements in the air still visibly increased.

Located on the battlefield, although not in the central area, after this commotion was created, it seemed that this place would inevitably become the central area next.

Su Li appropriately waved his hands and stretched his legs to ensure that when he needed to flee or confront, he wouldn’t be left behind due to minor physical problems.

The heartbeat sounds in his ears became increasingly urgent. Unable to distinguish whether they came from one direction or from all sides, Su Li heard numerous footsteps of varying depths.

He stood in place, looked up, and when he discovered it was a group of monster beasts that obviously didn’t possess dragon clan characteristics, he lazily greeted them, “Have you eaten?”

Behind the youth were dragon soldiers whose bodies had instantly become soaked with cold sweat.

Those two soldiers were still urging him, saying, “What you should do now is flee, let us cover the rear, not delay time with verbal exchanges here.”

But whether it was their uncontrolled retreating behavior or their psychological desire to carry the bird egg and run away, everything was laid bare on the surface.

Su Li looked toward the monster beast who raised his left hand with a deep black butterfly suspended at the tip of his middle finger, made a thoughtful gesture, and then said, “It looks like you haven’t eaten.”

“Mr. Adison.”

The “bug” from Victoria’s mouth, the main force of this Queen’s army’s attack on the dragon clan, whose true form might be a butterfly and who possessed AOE large-scale clearing skills that could control large numbers of butterflies.

The principle of operation was unclear, the actual effect was devouring, and the result was instant death upon contact.

After going through some basic intelligence in his mind, Su Li leisurely waited for Adison’s response.

As long as he was still surrounded by Elvi’s wind elements, he was still the “Little Excellency” with the same bloodline as the giant dragon.

“The only offspring that Elvi has spared in over two hundred years.” Adison’s voice was unexpectedly deep, and when he spoke, it seemed to cause vibrations in the air, particularly pleasant to hear. “Can you tell me what you relied on to make that dragon choose not to kill you?”

Su Li pretended to think deeply, his green eyes seeming to be filled with grave colors as well.

The youth slowed his speech and said, “Good question, I’d also like to know the answer.”

Then Su Li gazed directly into Adison’s eyes from a distance, his voice clear and cold, his appearance looking like one of those who knew they couldn’t resist and had accepted reality as a compromiser.

“For questions without answers, I have no way to provide answers. But speaking of questions, I also have a doubt and hope you can help solve it…”

Su Li drew out his voice. “That is, what purpose did you have in deliberately coming to the rear after using large forces to hold back Elvi?”

Adison didn’t seem to mind chatting with Su Li for a few sentences, but he still first directed his subordinates behind him, saying, “You, and you few, go to the giant dragon’s treasury and search for the treasures that Her Excellency Elvi previously traded with the Water Tribe.”

As he spoke, Adison also gave Su Li a meaningful look.

Every pore of the butterfly spirit seemed to indicate that he didn’t want to say any unnecessary words.

“As for this youth, since Elvi didn’t make a move to kill him, then…”

Adison revealed a smile, like a butterfly that had been hungry for many days encountering flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields, full of twisted sweetness.

“I’ll, take, over, the, job.”

Great crisis!

Su Li thought this in his heart, but his heartbeat didn’t show even the slightest sign of acceleration.

He had known this from the beginning. From when Adison started speaking without avoiding anything.

Suppressing rebellion wasn’t something that required negotiation.

Adison coming directly to the rear to raid Elvi’s treasury meant that even if the giant dragon existed here, he might not have any bargaining chips to press heavily on the scales weighing Su Li’s life at this moment.

Adison looked with interest at the butterfly on his fingertip as it tremblingly flew toward Su Li.

He didn’t forget to say: “Don’t tell me you still haven’t prepared for battle even now?”

“Or is it that Elvi never taught you the relevant knowledge?”

The butterfly spirit completely extinguished the attitude of unwillingness to speak much that he had shown not long ago.

And wherever that black butterfly passed, the faintly glowing black scale powder directly dissolved obvious pits in the ground upon touching it.

The dragon soldiers stood in front of Su Li, their faces showing despair, yet they still tried to obstruct.

The result of a mantis trying to stop a chariot wasn’t even as good as the soldiers who had died in the palace earlier – at least those soldiers had left complete bones behind.

Now these had only left behind two handfuls of black ash.

Su Li looked regretfully at the two piles of ashes before him, then raised his eyes to look at the black butterfly in front of him.

This butterfly’s wings were still constantly flapping, but it couldn’t touch Su Li no matter what.

Adison also showed a surprised expression. “I was mistaken. I didn’t expect that someone as weak as you would have such great control over wind elements.”

Su Li was confused for a moment.

Unlike Adison, who thought Su Li had done something, Su Li himself truly hadn’t done anything.

Facing this black butterfly, he should have felt fear and trembling like the dragon soldiers who had turned to ash, but the fact was that he couldn’t sense any threat from this black butterfly.

Just like back in the Beast Forest.

Monster beasts of level eight and below wouldn’t actively attack him…

Whether this was the reason, or whether Elvi had installed some special damage-reflection device on him, these weren’t considerations for now.

What Su Li needed to do now was maintain his posture, not fall behind others, and casually say, “I thought Adonis’s half-dead appearance would be enough to make you all raise your guard against me.”

Adison’s body instantly became tense, and the soldiers behind him directly raised their weapons, eyeing the powerless Su Li with hostile gazes.

“Or do you think that my standing here alone, not making any attempt to flee, is really just because I’m powerless?”

Su Li saw Adison’s tense body become even more rigid.

The youth imitated Adison’s deep bass voice from not long ago and said, “Then you’ve guessed right.”

“I’m really very weak.” Su Li used the most dangerous tone to speak the most truthful words.

The fires burning everywhere reflected the night sky in orange-red. The youth beside the giant egg wore clean clothes, not a speck of dust on his entire body.

Combined with that excessively delicate face, no one would think this was any character who could walk freely on a battlefield.

Yet he just stood there.

Standing there in complete discord with everyone else, coldly and emotionlessly watching the death of his fellow clansmen, leisurely and calmly pinning labels like “incompetent” and “weak” on himself.

Yet Adison didn’t dare take another step forward.

Adonis’s injuries, after examination by the medical officer beside the Queen, were determined to be impossible to heal for at least two months.

The gray crane’s wounds contained large amounts of violent wind elements. Healing power couldn’t take effect at all; they could only rely on the body’s self-healing ability to recover. But whenever some healing occurred, the remaining wind elements that couldn’t be expelled would destroy the healed areas again.

The medical officer’s assessment was that the wounds could only heal themselves after the wind elements were completely consumed over time.

The current gray crane could only maintain that unrecoverable, wretched appearance.

While not exactly fearful, Adison, who was well aware that his defensive capabilities didn’t match the gray crane’s, didn’t want to add such painful-looking injuries to himself.

For a moment, the two sides were actually at a standstill.

What finally broke the calm were the soldiers Adison had sent out earlier.

They had already found Elvi’s treasury.

The soldiers sent to search excitedly shouted, “Those things look like many times more than all of the Queen’s private collections combined!”

While the soldiers chattered nearby, Su Li simply leaned backward and directly rested against the egg.

With a lazy attitude hanging on his face, Su Li’s lips curved up almost imperceptibly. When the other party actively hung unknown concepts on him, no one understood better than the youth how to utilize all of this.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“Continue staying here to be flanked by Elvi and the black dragon who will return soon, or go empty the treasury and run away with those things?”

“I choose to do nothing.” Adison’s face showed considerable gritting of teeth.

“That’s really a pity.” Su Li looked at him regretfully and said.

Adison was furious. “I’m not so foolish as to forget my real mission in this situation.”

Suppressing rebellion meant suppressing revolt and chaos, not robbery.

Discovering treasures was merely to pin another charge of rebellion on the giant dragon.

But if he continued to stay here with that youth full of strangeness…

Adison looked deeply at Su Li once, then chose to give up.
