Chapter 1126

(Unedited)

..

Since the ground is a bit sandy its means that he is actually near the lake. But the location he is seated is clearly far from that place.

"No.. I have to.. I have to escape this place.." he muttered as he began to rub the sackcloth on the sandy ground.

But no matter how hard Xin Ja struggles he still could not remove the sackcloth. After trying some time he suddenly feels helpless as the sackcloth seemed to be enchanted and could not be removed.

"Those people? Do they really want to kill me over something so trivial?" he thought as his heart went heavy.

Xin Ja did not want to face those people at this time and would like to concentrate on learning. However, it seems that they would never let him go. But who those people are, he did not know, so he dare not blame anyone.

Suddenly, Xin Ja heard some movements from the sand. It quickly made him feel a bit anxious as he did not know what kind of monster will be attacking him with the sackcloth over his head.

As the movement slowly drew closer, he could already feel his hair begin to stand on end. He wanted to run away but the rope was too tight. Xin Ja could not help but curse deep in his head.

Suddenly something seem to have bitten the sackcloth and in front of his eyes, he saw several pairs of razor-sharp teeth that almost bit his face off. Xin Ja feel scared as that bite alone was able to tear through the defense of the bone rune. And this made him feel afraid.

But to Xin Ja's astonishment, he saw a familiar creature in front of him.

"You.. Xuanlong!... What.. what are you doing here?" Xin Ja said with a dumbfounded expression on his face.historical

This pet dragon of his is very free-spirited and could not be constrained by anything. It would go out of the manor on its own and then come back if it wanted to. Sometimes it would not leave and just stay inside without doing anything.

Who would have thought that the little guy would be here with him?

Plus he is gawking at its head right now which is bigger than its body.

It's like it has a body of a lizard and the head the size of that of a dog.

Then its head slowly became smaller and went back to its original form.

After getting free, Xin Ja noticed a slight cut from the rope and quickly rub it on a sharp stone on the side. He easily cuts off the rope and removes it.

After freeing himself, Xin Ja noticed that Xuanlong is playing on the shore. It is actually jumping excitedly while looking at the fish swimming in the water. Since the water is clear, it could see the many fishes.

It turned its attention at Xin Ja and with its long tongue hanging out of its mouth, it licks and drools over the fishes.

"Xuanlong come here.. Those fishes are too big and too strong for us at this moment. Let's go back.." Xin Ja called.

However, the small dragon did not want to listen but instead began to scratch its claws on the ground while glaring at the fish in the lake.

"If you go there, there you will fish food!.." Xin Ja threatened.

Xuanlong seems to suddenly feel a hint of danger as it suddenly runs as fast as it could towards Xin Ja. With a chuckled, he saw the little guy run to his sleeve and hide under his robe.

"Hahaha.. Now you are afraid.." Xin Ja chuckle but stopped as he suddenly feel the ground shaking.

His eyes immediately darted in the direction of the lake.

Then with a horrified expression, he quickly scuttles away as he saw the water surface rising.

This scene was immediately noticed by the people around the lake. This is because the water rises really high that it made everyone scared.

"What is happening to the lake?"

"I did not know that there is a large monster inside the lake.. it has always been those fishes and nothing more.."

"This is bad! We have to leave now!"

"Run everyone!"

Panic ensues after the water surface rises and the people around the lake began to leave. The caravans near the lake quickly left the area so that they would not be implicated.

This is true especially to the students of the Ogden Academy War Games team. They dare not stay to prevent their student from getting into trouble.

As the carriages speed off one by one, the figure from the lake finally reveals itself. It is actually a huge dragon.. statue.

Upon surfacing, it immediately changes the topography of the lake and the shore around it.

Xin Ja was still running at that time when suddenly he feel his body stop moving. It was like he was frozen in time and could not move. He suddenly feels his body begin floating towards the center of the lake where the dragon statue is.

In the darkness, Xin Ja thought that he is looking at a real dragon.. however, he noticed that it is actually only a statue.

Suddenly, Xuanlong who is hiding in his robe jumps down and began to gobble the small fishes on the surface of the stone statue.

Xin Ja has safely landed on the platform where the statue is standing and in front of him, he saw piles after piles of precious materials. But what made him truly astounded are the three items in the middle.

One is a manuscript, the other one is chest plate armor, and the last one is bracer.

These three items are on the feet of the dragon.

When Xin Ja saw this, he dare not take them immediately.

Then he saw the writing on the wall.

'Those who are worthy will obtain these gifts from Shen Tilo, the dragon warrior.'

Xin Ja was a bit dumbfounded but he did not want to waste his time in this place. This is because he knew that many humans saw what happened in this place. He knew that those people would surely come back. So he quickly extended his hand and then touches the three items to absorb them in the pearl.

He was about to turn and absorb the rest when he heard some commotion outside the lake. So Xin Ja decided to quickly escape.

Suddenly, he saw Xuanlong dragging a small sack on its enlarged body. He is now the size of a small dog.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to take the sake and Xuanlong away as they darted to the forest.

When his figure left the platform, he immediately saw it slowly emerging back to the depths of the lake.

"Hah.. Hah.." Xin Ja panted while running away.

He soon stopped and then gathered himself while looking around.

"I guess the academy has already left.." he muttered while looking at his surroundings.

He is now in an unknown forest. So, he did not want to lower his guard.

Xuanlong on the other hand stood on Xin Ja's head while feeling its surroundings. It knew of the danger of the forest as it has tried going out once. Although it could not fight against any beasts right now, it could still warn its master.

Seeing the alert little dragon on top of his head, Xin Ja could not help but smile.

"I think we should stay in here for a while before continuing our journey.." he muttered as he began to quickly set up one trap array after another.

Inside an old tree stump, Xin Ja stayed while roasting a piece of meat he got from his space.

It did not take long before he finished and began eating.

He began to check the things he got from the statue but got bored after already knowing their materials and value.

"I should not waste my time.. Hmm.. Maybe I can create that.. It would be a good way to test my skills if I could really create something that could make me travel faster." He muttered as he began checking the sack that Xuanlong has dragged.

And to his astonishment, those things are really useful for him. However.. he did not want to waste such materials just to create a prototype for traversing the road. So he decided to use his other materials inside his space.

..

The next morning..

On the main road to the town of Yanzing, something is running through the road, and seated on that thing is a young man and on his head is a black lizard.

"Hahaha.. This is really fun, Xuanlong!" cried Xin Ja as he is seated on his newly created vehicle.

It has two wheels and a single-engine in the middle.

He has fully copied the design of the body of an off-road motorcycle. However, for the engine, he has made his own. The engine uses a Ki stone as its energy source which he thinks is more efficient.

Xin Ja has been practicing riding the motorcycle the whole morning until he is able to completely master its balance after a few minutes.

And now he is having fun riding the motorcycle with Xuanlong who is also fascinated with its tongue hanging from its mouth as it is dragged by the rushing air.

The childish laughter of Xin Ja could be heard in the forest as the motorcycle speeds along the rough road.
