The Raven replied while flying, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m not caught and killed directly by Elvi, my speed of becoming stronger won’t be slow in the days to come.”
“I will protect you well, and perhaps not just me… Egbert and the others will definitely try their best to improve their own strength, so they can back you up.”
“Moreover, the truth spoken from Elvi’s mouth will actually expand the value of your identity card to a greater extent.” The Raven wasn’t completely ignorant about everything.
“Speaking for yourself is ultimately a passive choice. But the dragon’s active revelation, although it will place you in the center of a whirlpool, will also naturally put you in a position where you won’t be killed.”
The rising sun left no darkness anywhere to hide.
Su Li’s mood was also gradually calmed by the high-altitude wind.
After Adison had pointed out another stretch of road, he said with a somewhat hesitant tone, “So what exactly is that identity?”
“And I don’t even know what your names are.”
“…Now that I think about it, I suddenly realize, why did I have to follow you? Even if I wanted to repay a life-saving debt, monster beasts don’t necessarily have to follow human customs. I could have chosen to act as if nothing happened and then returned to report to the Queen.”
The more Adison spoke, the more he doubted his life.
He kept glancing at Su Li with strange looks, trying to use this action to create some pressure on the young man to let him go.
But the butterfly spirit was obviously overthinking.
Su Li lay on the Raven’s back, drowsy but still didn’t forget to answer Adison’s question.
“Identity? If I were to use professional terminology… I can’t find suitable professional terms. But if I explain it in plain language, my identity is probably that of a pure-blooded human.”
“The kind whose blood doesn’t contain any monster beast bloodline.”
“According to the implications derived from Elvi’s words, my value is to become a breeding stallion after reaching adulthood, continuously providing genes for monster beasts, so they can reproduce offspring in large quantities.”
“Newborns containing both human and monster beast bloodlines can be directly transformed into monster beasts with zero loss, unlike those awakeners in Rota County whose bodies are mixed with multiple monster beast bloodlines. When they’re transformed into monster beasts, they always have a high mortality rate due to their mixed bloodlines.”
When Su Li evaluated his value as a breeding stallion, his expression showed no change.
This attitude was infinitely equivalent to humans watching the spring limited edition of “Man and Nature.”
But Adison instantly forgot to flap his wings…
“Do you know what you just said?!”
“Pure-blooded human! Good God, this kind of human hasn’t appeared even going back 5000 years, right? Are you some kind of living fossil frozen in ice?” Adison’s entire butterfly body was covered with question marks.
“Are you being polite?” Su Li looked speechless.
“You have to understand my overly shocked heart.” Adison kept gesturing with his human palms, and now the wings on his back resumed their vibration.
Su Li sometimes couldn’t tell whether the monster beast characteristics when monster beasts were in human form were deliberately retained, or if wings and such really weren’t human palms…
As he spoke, the fatigue from staying up all night made the growing Su Li unable to stay awake for long, and he had already dozily fallen asleep on the Raven’s back.
Adison had no awareness that Su Li had fallen asleep and continued talking to himself. “If what you said is correct, then what will happen next is almost exactly as you predicted.”
He even muttered to himself. “Although I’d rather use the phrase ‘identical,’ it feels too arrogant.”
Only then did he realize that Su Li had already fallen asleep.
His excessive desire to confide could only be displayed to the Raven in the end. Adison continued, “This child is like a monster that can mass-produce battle legions in a short period. Once his identity value is exposed, the entire monster beast society will go crazy for him.”
“Especially at this current stage.” Adison seemed to be referring to something, but he didn’t elaborate, only saying, “I never thought I would obtain such important information so easily.”
The Raven couldn’t suppress his desire to mock Adison. Knowing that Su Li had already fallen asleep, yet still chattering incessantly, was really quite annoying.
The Raven really missed those days when the head butler Egbert was by his side, although Egbert himself wasn’t exactly normal either.
With equally abnormal thinking, the Raven said coldly, “Your acting is too fake, so much so that your shock is as superficial as the grease floating on your face.”
Adison: ………………
“You obviously don’t have any deep thoughts about this matter, so why must you display such an overly shocked attitude.”
Adison fell into silence.
After a while, he said, “…But any monster beast should feel shocked about this matter.”
“No one would ignore this child’s value, right?”
The Raven mocked him. “Of course not.”
“At least I never found this kind of thing shocking.”
“Rather than being shocked by this, I’m more concerned about what Su Li’s words to you meant.”
The Raven repeated. “‘I don’t intend to expose someone who, after being awakened, still indulges in dreams.'”
“Can you tell me your first reaction when you heard this sentence?”
Adison fell into silence again.
He didn’t know how to respond.
If one wasn’t the person involved, normal people wouldn’t have any profound insights about such a baffling statement.
He wanted to observe the Raven’s expression to judge whether he absolutely needed to know the answer to this question, but when Adison turned his head, he discovered that the crow’s face showed no traces of emotion.
Of course, this could also be understood as the Raven not caring at all whether Adison would give an answer.
The butterfly spirit felt restless for a moment and simply asked back, “Then how do you understand this sentence?”
This counter-question opened up a new world for monster beasts who had never done reading comprehension.
“That sentence is easy to understand, isn’t it? All your actions hoping to inform us of intelligence related to the Winged Tribe Queen are because you hope the Winged Tribe Queen will suffer heart-piercing agony. Because only this way can she understand everything you’ve experienced.”
“But despite having this mentality, you essentially haven’t shown any hostile attitude toward the Queen. You’re deceiving yourself. Your brain has told you countless times that you long to see the Queen encounter all the misfortunes you’ve suffered, but your consciousness is also telling you that as a subject, you shouldn’t have any dissatisfaction with the Queen’s orders and commands.”
“You don’t accept your ego, yet repeatedly ignore the needs of your id. Clearly understanding your own attitude, yet always displaying a nonchalant appearance. Su Li saw through all this, pointed it out, and you still maintained that innocent expression of ‘what are you talking about,’ ‘don’t joke around,’ ‘this isn’t funny at all.'”
“What else could he do but say that.”
If Egbert had learned how to use Su Li’s logic to understand more and determine more peripheral information to explore the other side of the underwater iceberg, then what the Raven had learned was how to see through another person at a glance.
Adison really was the most troublesome butterfly spirit.
The Raven accelerated his flight speed, determined not to engage in any more conversation with him during the rest of the journey.
Su Li needed rest, and Adison, who wanted to die but didn’t dare to…
The Raven felt that this person was very suitable to stay with Egbert.
At least the Raven had never seen anyone more excellent than Egbert at brainwashing people, including monster beasts of course.
Rota County was soon within sight.
At the same time, Elvi in the dragon territory had finally reached the edge of decision.
The Water Tribe King controlled by Leia, although that monster beast was as humble and ridiculous as a dog in front of him, in terms of strength, that monster beast indeed possessed the qualifications of a king.
Facing the severely injured Elvi, that aquatic monster beast might still need to maintain relative vigilance, continuously conducting harassment warfare to deepen Elvi’s difficult-to-heal wounds.
But when facing Victoria, all that caution and prudence became a joke.
There was no need.
Facing the black dragon, he had no need to be so cautious.
The reason the Water Tribe could be so twisted yet still not be annexed by the Beast Tribe, who excelled at both conspiracy and frontal combat, lay in their equally dirty fighting methods.
The hierarchy of elements was an unbridgeable chasm.
Under equal strength conditions, most Water Tribe monster beasts could manipulate the blood of opponents with equal strength.
Whether causing reverse flow or stopping circulation, as long as blood remained blood, aquatic monster beasts were destined to have influence over it.
For Victoria to isolate this influence, she would necessarily need large amounts of elemental isolation around her to prevent being affected by water elements.
Once she took such action, the power used for attacks would be greatly reduced.
This was a disadvantage for her, but obviously favorable for the aquatic monster beast.
In this suppressed situation, Victoria had already suffered severe injuries in no time.
Elvi could certainly choose to take on this disgusting opponent, allowing Victoria to escape this situation, but once the black dragon was freed from restraining her opponent, how could Elvi ensure she could still survive under the joint restraint of Leia and the Water Tribe King?
Leia wanted her dead—Elvi understood this all too clearly.
Facing such a situation, Elvi’s heart was not without hatred.
She was even thinking that if one of her eyes hadn’t been blinded, neither Leia nor the Water Tribe King would dare to be so bold as to attack her.
All of this was Su Li’s fault!
But even with such thoughts, Elvi couldn’t show them.
Because ostensibly, Su Li was still the dragon heir that Elvi had previously endowed with dragon clan bloodline.
And he was a dragon heir whose dragon clan bloodline came from the same source as hers.
Knowing that Elvi had killed humans with the same bloodline as hers more than once, for other dragons, Su Li’s survival as a dragon heir was itself a unique case.
How could Victoria have obvious wariness toward this young man favored by Elvi?
No one had anticipated it.
So Elvi’s eye was blinded.
This was simply too ironic.
Severely injured, with enemies continuously ravaging her own territory, the lives of trusted subordinates cultivated over many years hanging in the balance of her choices…
What could a dragon do?
What could Elvi Bessemer do?
This question was about to have an answer.
Leia looked mockingly at Elvi. “When you humiliated and tortured me like that, did you ever think you would have such a day?”
“Chaotic and ruined, territory burned to wasteland, degraded to garbage heaps. Massive deaths of the same clan, being rejected by the Winged Tribe Queen, isolated by the entire Winged Tribe…”
“Hahaha, hahahaha!” Leia laughed wildly, “Just thinking about this makes my blood boil with joy.”
“So what if you’re a dragon! So what if you’ve been feared by the Water Tribe and Beast Clan whenever you entered battle over two hundred years—for the Winged Tribe Queen, you’re not an essential item for maintaining Winged Tribe glory, but an obstacle hindering the Queen’s control of power…”
“Fool.” Leia instantly restrained all his laughter.
“Since you never thought about seizing power initially, then don’t later rely on your strength thinking everything is indispensable without you.” Leia racked his brains to mock.
He delighted in seeing all extreme negative emotions in Elvi, whether hatred or venom.
But Elvi only sneered coldly.
“Do you think you’re any better?”
“Rather than saying you and Bartholomew cooperated to ambush me back then, it’s more like that unicorn forced you to unite with him to kill me.”
“I’m a fool? What do you think you are! An ugly mermaid who can’t even protect his own clan members with his life, you can only bring the dog you’ve been screwing for so many years to show off when I’m severely injured. Don’t tell me you think that after multiple rounds of wheel battles wearing me down to severe injury, you can easily kill me?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Elvi’s attacks never ceased, whether to relieve pressure on other dragons or to target Leia’s offensive.
A dragon was ultimately a dragon.
Never something a mermaid could easily control.
At the same time, Elvi was grateful that the attack method of compressing power to the extreme and then suddenly erupting was brought by Su Li.
Although it was a conclusion reached only after losing one eye—
But this attack method hadn’t been seen by others besides her.
The mermaid would only be more bewildered.
Large amounts of wind elements emanated from Elvi’s body. Those elements were like being continuously squeezed by invisible giant hands until they condensed into compressed wind element spheres one after another in the air.
Logically, this attack method was like Leia’s customary water bullets—at most just an AOE large-scale damage skill.
But in fact, when Leia prepared to use water screens to defend, those high-density wind element spheres condensed around Elvi were like bombs one after another.
Operated by the dragon who had ultimate control over wind elements, they created an isolation zone centered on Elvi and Victoria, separating the aquatic monster beasts from other dragons. Finally, in the “wind bullets” that Leia thought he could naturally block, they exploded directly in mid-air before touching the barrier erected by the mermaid.
In that instant, the damage brought by the explosion, besides the massive death of aquatic monster beasts, also included the thunderous collapse of an entire mountain peak.
Boulders continuously rolled down. The high-altitude mountains naturally belonged to the flying dragons—what did aquatic monster beasts swimming against the current amount to?
Elvi transformed into human form. She closed the eye that had been pierced by the bullet, gazing from afar at the instantly furious Leia. The dragon sneered. “Today? My today is the tomorrow you’re destined to encounter! As long as I don’t die, you mermaid will forever remain humble!”
In the distance, Leia’s furious appearance, ready to jump with rage, lasted only a few seconds. Afterward, his face showed undisguised ecstatic laughter.
Everything happened in an instant. Before Elvi’s reaction ability to danger could fully manifest and control her body to give obvious responses, the Water Tribe King who had been toying with Victoria rode the wave crest in water element-condensed giant waves, directly rushing toward the elementally exhausted Elvi. Once hit, even if not dead, she wouldn’t necessarily survive the severely injured state.
The dragon naturally avoided the ugly choice that shouldn’t be faced by a king.
But Victoria didn’t avoid it.
The Water Tribe King’s original form was itself a swordfish with extremely strong explosive power. Driving large amounts of water elements as propulsion in tidal waves, the current Elvi, without elemental power resistance and relying only on physical hardness, absolutely couldn’t resist this move.
Once she took this collision head-on, Elvi would basically be doomed.
Victoria clenched her fists. In that instant, too many memories flashed through her mind.
But speaking of the most impressive, no matter when or where, what the black dragon would never forget was always the dragon in original form circling the black dragon egg when she broke out of her shell, as if guarding a treasure.
That was perhaps indeed guarding treasure, because the Elvi of that time was herself sleeping on top of treasures, and a black dragon egg was just one of many treasures.
It’s just that no one had thought that egg could come alive.
Could live in this world where no black dragon had descended for hundreds of years.
And now, Victoria, just like then, raised her head facing Elvi, ignoring the sharp object that had pierced through her heart and was quickly pulled out…
The black dragon showed a shy smile that didn’t match her arrogant image.
