Dragon Tamer - Chapter 985

Chapter 985: Chapter 989 Flaming Sun Holy Dragon Chapter 985: Chapter 989 Flaming Sun Holy Dragon The seemingly bustling city was overrun with people, but not a single one was alive. This bizarre stillness, accompanied by the scent of medicine and leather wafting through the city, was truly discomforting.

When Zhu Minglang approached the center of the city, he saw a group of people dressed in vibrant attire. They seemed to be from a powerful clan, each adorned with exquisite armor, shields, and weapons.

These individuals headed straight toward them. The leader, an overly pale man, asked, “Have you found an exit to this city?”

“We just arrived here,” He Haohan responded.

“We have been wandering here for a day or two with no useful clues, only these stinking leather puppets. The people from the Mo Family also seem to be meddling in something mysterious,” the pale-skinned man said.

“Judging by your outfits, could you be Spirit Masters from the Artifact God Sect?” He Haohan asked.

“Exactly!” the pale-skinned man replied, his gaze sweeping over Puppet City with a hint of disgust, “People say how magnificently crafted the Sky Pavilion City is, and that the Mo Family’s mechanisms and Mechanical Beasts are unparalleled in the world. I want to see if they really are as formidable as the rumors suggest, strong enough to compete with us Spirit Masters!”

Spirit Masters?

Zhu Minglang had never encountered this type of Divine and Mortal before.

Could it be that they fight by forging extremely powerful Divine Artifacts and relying on the spirits within those artifacts?

Was it somewhat similar to the time when Zhu Heavenly Officer summoned the five great Artifact Spirits to arm himself and unleashed a power comparable to that of gods?

Zhu Minglang found these Spirit Masters quite interesting, as they shared many similarities with Casting Masters.

“I suggest we split up to search for clues. Otherwise, we might be stuck here for several days and nights and end up begging these bastards from the Mo Family for food and water. We must not let them toy with us like this,” an older middle-aged Spirit Master suggested.

“That seems to be the only way. Since you four managed to reach here, you must be quite capable. Let’s all search for clues in this Puppet City together. Share any findings and look out for each other,” the pale-skinned man said.

“Alright, let’s all get out of this Puppet City together,” He Haohan agreed readily, as he apparently liked making acquaintance with heroes from all over.

“I am Bei Yaoying from the Artifact God Sect,” the pale-skinned man declared.

“Loose Immortal He Haohan, this is Loose Immortal Zhu Minglang, and these are our sisters, He Yiling and Cai You,” He Haohan introduced.

“Nice to meet you.” Bei Yaoying greeted with a fist salute, then instructed his fellow sect members to split up.

Seeing that the members of the God Sect had dispersed, He Haohan also spoke to Zhu Minglang, He Yiling, and Cai You, “They arrived before us and also observed nothing peculiar about this Puppet City. Let’s also split up to maximize our search area.”

“That will increase the risk,” Zhu Minglang remarked.

“Indeed, but in my opinion, the people from the Mo Family intend to have us spread out. That way, they would have a chance to strike. If we were to stay closely huddled together, they could just play a waiting game with us, and we wouldn’t find any flaws,” He Haohan said.

“It makes sense, we also need to give the other side a chance,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Sister, be careful and don’t act rash. If you encounter danger, remember to retreat first. Our purpose here is not to quarrel with these mechanisms but to find the core personnel of the Mo Family!” He Haohan said.

“I understand.” He Yiling went her own way.

At that moment, Cai You also chose a path and walked down the bustling street filled with bearers, merchants, and peddlers.

He Haohan looked at Cai You, who had left alone, and asked Zhu Minglang somewhat puzzled, “You don’t seem to worry about your little sister Cai You. She is gentle and frail. It might be safer if you walked with her.”

“No worries, she doesn’t need me to worry about her,” Zhu Minglang replied.

Describing Cai You as gentle and frail seemed fitting, as ever since she entered the Sky Pavilion, she appeared as a sister with a low cultivation base, always following behind Zhu Minglang.

However, the reality was quite different. As a hunter on the verge of becoming a Divine Monarch, unless God Mo Shou himself came to suppress her, any member of the Mo Family from Sky Pavilion looking for trouble with her was essentially handing over their head.

This was actually a good thing.

Perhaps there really were people like He Haohan who thought Cai You was easy to bully, and in that case, Zhu Minglang would be fishing successfully.

…

Zhu Minglang chose a main road and walked slowly through the eerily quiet Puppet City.

In the middle of the avenue stood a Giant Dragon sculpture, majestic and mighty, spirited and vivid. Zhu Minglang carefully identified it and realized it was a Flaming Sun Holy Dragon, a Dragon of the light attribute nobility among giant dragons, with an extremely noble bloodline and powerful strength. Its most unique feature was the radiant scales on its body, which continuously absorbed sunlight. If they didn’t release this energy, it would accumulate and create an intense solar brilliance, easily turning adversaries into cinders.

Mr. Jinli also held the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon in high esteem. Zhu Minglang, who had wandered the rivers and lakes for many years, had never seen a Flaming Sun Holy Dragon. He hadn’t expected to see one turned into a living specimen here at Puppet City…

The illumination was plentiful here, the sunlight tinged with a shade of blue in the Tian Ji Divine Area. This gave Zhu Minglang the impression that the Spirit Root here was more abundant than in Tianshu, thus their cultivation civilization was also slightly advanced.

Zhu Minglang observed the scales of the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon. Indeed, even though it had been made into a living puppet, its radiant scales were still absorbing sunlight. Between the scales, one could see threads like flames slowly transferring. They eventually intertwined at the head of the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon, concentrating on its radiant singular horn…

“Creak! Creak! Creak!”

Just then, sounds like gears grinding emanated from inside the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon. These sounds were rhythmic, and their frequency was continuously increasing.

“Creak creak creak creak!!!!”

It seemed as if a massive machinery inside the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon was in motion. This process made the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon actually come to life. Subsequently, Zhu Minglang heard the joints popping like firecrackers. The entire body of the Flaming Sun Holy Dragon shook; it even lifted its legs from the stone plinth and brought one foot crashing down towards Zhu Minglang!

Zhu Minglang was greatly astonished!

This dragon, which had been turned into a living specimen, had actually moved!
