Chapter 989

(Unedited)

..

It was an overlord and a very strong level 81 beast. It lorded over a territory which it grabbed from another beast after a gruesome battle. With the blood of a dragon coursing over its body and the essence of the forest combined, it became really powerful that even the human are not its match.

But it did not dare to come close to human territories as it did not want trouble. It knew that humans are troublesome creatures who like to hunt beasts in the forest.

Suddenly, one day, a group of humans appear in the vicinity of its territory and began hunting. Angered by this intrusion, it lashed out and killed them.

But who would have known that 3 days later these same humans would appear again? It knew that the humans are the overlords of the place he is in, and it knew that the humans are immortals and would not die. However, it could not help its animal instinct to fight them.

After an exchange of blows, it once again defeated the humans. But this time, it decided to leave its territory and journey far away to get away from those pesky humans.

But who would have known that in its travel it would suddenly fall to this place where it could not use the energy of the universe, and instead use another energy with which it is also familiar?

It has been a month since it fell to this place and has seen what this place can do. But it did not like staying in this weird world that seems to be a large cage imprisoning it. Plus it discovered that humans are also here. So it quickly decided to leave this place at all cost.

It soon found the exit of this place but to its dismay, it discovered a flaw. To be able to break this exit and break this world, it needed more power. But something is suppressing its power in this world. And so it devises a plan and that plan is to use the powerful beasts in this place so that it could attack the gate and destroy it.

However, it's has been a year since then and it still was not able to open or destroy the gate even after using many beasts to attack the gate.

While slumbering in frustration, it soon felt the presence of some humans entering its territory. It quickly controlled the weather to attack the humans.

And now, it showed itself and decided to vent out its frustration to the human in front of it.

Groowwwl!

It roared as it began to control the dead beasts in the forest. Although those are just carcasses, through the time it has spent in this world, it learned to hone its power and ability and learned many new tricks.

And one of the tricks is using its blood and veins to control dead creatures.

It then did not think twice and immediately attacked.

The area became a chaotic mess as trees and stones were toppled creating a large clearing in the forest.

Now the area where the planar gate is could be seen clearly.

The planar gate is in a cave but the cave is covered by a strong formation spell which is very strong that only nascent level cultivators and above could break it.

Even the frenzied battle was not able to destroy the cave which is under the scope of the formation spell.

At this time, Shin Jiao and his companions have already taken down the beasts, and the remaining one is the Forest Dragon.

Seeing that the humans are actually very strong and that they might be even stronger than it, the Forest Dragon suddenly felt fear in its heart. Its instinct to preserve its life immediately kicks in and wanted to escape. But it suddenly found itself unable to as a single human would stand in its way wherever it turns.

"You are a Forest Dragon.. and I think you are not from this place. You wanted to destroy this planar gate to escape, but if you do that, this whole world would be destroyed.. This place has its use for me, and I cannot let you do that." Shin Jiao said while standing in front of the dragon.

It seems that the Forest Dragon could understand his words and it suddenly glared at Shin Jiao.

Then using its mind it suddenly sent a sound transmission using human language.

'I do not want to stay in this place so get out of my way!' it roared in Shin Jiao's mind.

Shin Jiao showed a hint of a smirk on his face but did not say anything. He actually could understand why this Forest Dragon would do such a thing. It might have felt trapped and helpless.

Upon thinking up to this point, he remembers his friend Lemy. That guy is also trapped in that formation but he did not feel scared, threatened, or alone. That is because Lemy has a companion. When he asked if Lemy wanted to leave, Shin Jiao could see the reluctance in his eyes.

"Is this Forest Dragon also felt stifled in this place?" Shin Jiao thought.

"How did you find this place?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked in curiosity.

'Humph.. This place is a gigantic array formation, but it could not escape my sharp dragon sense. I will destroy this formation and leave, and you cannot stop me!' the Forest Dragon said with a sneer on its huge dragon face.

"Alright.. let's make a deal. I do not want to kill you.. so I want to help you return to the outside world." Shin Jiao said after contemplating something.

'Why would I believe the words of a mere human?'

"Well, it's either you die in here or get out with my help. Since you are a sentient beast, then you have gained some karma already.. Hehe.." Shin Jiao said with his mouth curving up a bit.

The Forest Dragon did not answer and just stood there like a proud snake.

The rest of the people behind Shin Jiao were a bit perplexed as they did not know what is happening.

"What do you think is going on?" Hua Xiao asked while tilting her head to Xiamen Gong.

"I think they are communicating using their mind.." Xiamen Gong said with a frown.

Although he knew that Shin Jiao is a unique individual with abilities that are something that he has not seen before, he is still a bit envious of him having the ability to send his thoughts to this place.

Not knowing what the human is hinting at what the human just said, the dragon could only hear the prospect of escaping this huge cage. It tried to scrutinize this human who is able to communicate with it and a flash of inspiration appears in its eyes.

Using runic language, which is the language of the dragons, it then spoke in Shin Jiao's mind.

'I am a mighty dragon! How dare you trick me?!' it roared.

Its voice is not low and the power of the runes carries the true spirit of a dragon. With just these words, it was able to manifest the true spirit of a dragon.

And it made Shin Jiao almost stagger on his feet.

He did not expect the dragon to do such a thing.

Seeing that the human staggered, the Forest Dragon suddenly opened its huge mouth and in one fell swoop gobbled Shin Jiao's figure along with the dirt he is standing on.

"Shin!"

"Nooo!"

The people around him were taken aback as they did not expect that Shin Jiao would have such a reaction. They saw him staggering suddenly, and then the Forest Dragon sneak attacked.

Shin Jiao was caught off guard and felt his mind a bit woozy. However, he still noticed the dragon's attack. Yet he is not worried.

As his figure enters the dragon's mouth and when the dragon was about to chew, it suddenly felt that something is wrong.

But it was already too late as it closes its mouth and a sharp object suddenly penetrated out of its snout.

Guaaahhh!!!

The dragon opened its jaws by reflex and wanted to throw out the thing that is stuck in its mouth. Shin Jiao who is holding a long sword of a mech has a sneer on his face.

Before the dragon could react, he suddenly activated the mana energy coating of the blade and cleanly cut through half of the dragon's head.

His body was immediately covered in blood and puss, as the huge body of the Forest Dragon fell lifeless on the ground.

"I gave you a way out.. you cannot blame me for this, right?" Shin Jiao said with a smile while writing a rune spell to clean his body.

After cleaning the battleground, the group walks to the planar gate.

"Alright, you can check it all you want.. after you are contented we will go back.." Shin Jiao said as he sits on the side letting everyone do whatever they wanted.

Everyone did not stand on ceremony and quickly checks the planar gate with hope glowing in their eyes.. Though they trust Shin Jiao's words, they could not help but think that maybe he is wrong.
