Dragon Tamer - Chapter 987

Chapter 987: Chapter 991: Land God Clan Chapter 987: Chapter 991: Land God Clan “Ohhhhh!”

The Refining Ash Black Dragon followed closely behind, standing like a mountain of flames behind Zhu Minglang. The sight frightened the dwarf so much that he tumbled backward, unable to get back up, and could only scuttle backwards using hands and feet.

The Refining Ash Black Dragon had its mouth full of mechanical oil, and some of the hard parts had been chewed to pieces, then spat out, directly smashing a hole into a nearby house.

“I’ll say anything, I’ll say anything, just don’t eat me, don’t eat me, I don’t have much meat on me!” the dwarf exclaimed in sheer panic.

Zhu Minglang was also puzzled; he hadn’t even started interrogating yet.

To be honest, Zhu Minglang found it too bothersome to interrogate such minor characters, but since this one was a prime example of a spineless informer, it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

“Where is the exit of this city?” Zhu Minglang asked.

This Puppet City was very bizarre, with no roads leading to other places. It seemed as if this was the end of Heavenly Pavilion City. Even the way back had vanished. But this mechanical Sky Pavilion was clearly very tall, with layered peaks and ridges. It should have been much higher.

“You’re going the wrong way. You’ll never find the Mo Family Fortress if you keep this up,” the dwarf hurriedly said.

“Where did we go wrong?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

“Not upwards, but downwards,” the dwarf said.

“Downwards??” Zhu Minglang was momentarily staggered.

The Mo Family Tower stood tall and majestic, layer upon layer, like a mechanical tower filled with traps. Everyone who broke into this place aimed for the higher levels, and nearly all believed that there must be a covert spot at the top where the Mo Family Fortress was located. Find that place, and one could either become a core member of the Mo Family or gain endless wealth…

But no one had ever considered that the Mo Family Fortress was not in the tower that rose above ground at all, but was deeply buried underneath it. Thousands of feet below the earth’s surface, past terrifying mechanical layers, the true Mo Family Fortress lay hidden!

The dwarf was an absolute coward. Without waiting for Zhu Minglang to interrogate him thoroughly, he confessed everything he knew, giving Zhu Minglang a real eye-opener!

“So where is the entrance that leads downwards?” Zhu Minglang questioned.

“In the cave, there will be a well, which leads to the Mo Family Ground Pavilion. The Mo Family Fortress is within the Earth Pavilion,” the dwarf said.

Caves?

Was it not the shortcut he was taking?

After entering the cave shortcut, Zhu Minglang had instinctively headed upwards, never considering that there was another path in the cave that led straight down into the Earth Pavilion.

That is to say, the cave was indeed a shortcut, but the Mo Family had set another deception inside to mislead outsiders. If one went upwards, they would reach this labyrinthine Puppet City and end up battling countless puppets until completely exhausted.

No wonder the Artifact God Sect members wandered around for a day or two without finding an exit, for this was truly a dead end.

“What’s your name?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“My humble name is Chang Gui, a Divine Chosen of the Dwarf clan. Because I offended God Mo Shou, he captured me and brought me here. Our clan’s unique stature is just right for burrowing into the core drive of mechanized beasts, so I and my clansmen have been mostly seized by Mo Shou to control those mechanical beasts,” the dwarf self-identifying as Chang Gui said.

“Is that the case for all of your people?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“We are descendants of the Land God,” the dwarf Chang Gui replied.

The Earth Sun clan, eh!

“So, the construction of Mo Shou’s Earth Pavilion is also largely connected to your clan?” Zhu Minglang stated.

“Yes, yes. Our clan has been enslaved for thirty years, and most of the others have basically forgotten we are the nobility of the God Clan. Only I have never given up, always looking for the opportunity to restore the glory of our Land God Clan… The presence of someone as esteemed and extraordinary as you, obviously one of the Dragon Phoenix among gods and a proud child of the heavens, meeting someone as brilliant and peerless as you must be the greatest fortune of my life, Chang Gui. You must also be my benefactor. The fate of my clan will change completely today!” the dwarf Chang Gui spoke as he knelt before Zhu Minglang, not retaining any shred of pride.

“How can I believe your words? What if I jump into the pit, only to find it’s a deadly trap?” Zhu Minglang said.

Actually, Zhu Minglang believed a good part of what Chang Gui had said.

So many people had stormed the Sky Pavilion over the years, but why had none found the Mo Family Fortress? It was right in the very heart of Heavenly Pavilion City…

The point that Chang Gui told Zhu Minglang was quite reasonable.

The reason the Mo Family Fortress had not been found was due to a mistake in direction.

Zhu Minglang also believed that the real Mo Family Fortress was underground. Only that explained why people were being led in circles within the Sky Pavilion.

“Respected one, you must believe what I’m saying. I’ve been controlling mechanical beasts in Puppet City for many years, mainly to scare people away without ever harming a soul. Our Land God Clan has truly suffered persecution because since Mo Shou introduced mechanical beasts, we small and adorable sprites have not had a single normal day…” the dwarf Chang Gui said.

“Enough, enough. Soon, you’ll follow us. If we encounter any danger, you won’t be able to escape either,” Zhu Minglang replied.

“No, please! I figured out this secret by myself. If the people of the Mo Family find out I have told you, they will completely annihilate my clan. I don’t want to bear such an eternal sin. Please be lenient, respected one, please,” Chang Gui pleaded.

“You said it yourself, I am your benefactor and will help restore your clan’s glory. Then you should be prepared to risk everything. Do you want to watch your people and descendants suffer such humiliation for the rest of their lives? Don’t you yearn for the carefree life beyond the mountains and seas? Or have you spent so much time inside the skulls of mechanical beasts that your own bones have grown together with those mechanisms?” Zhu Minglang raised an eyebrow.

Chang Gui was left dumbfounded by Zhu Minglang’s words.

For some reason, a surge of passion welled up in his small chest!

Our clan was once worshiped by the world, their venerable statues found at roadsides, temples, and street corners, laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Now, to have fallen to such a state, must generations upon generations end up like me; huddled in the foul, filthy skulls of mechanical beasts, then acting like demons and evil spirits to harm others??

It was time to stand up!

“May I ask, what is your Cultivation Base, esteemed one? I see your Divine Soul is faint yet powerful, almost as if it could pierce the Milky Way. If you could reveal your divine name, I would surely brave any danger for you,” Chang Gui said.

After all, being of the God Clan, Chang Gui could sense something special about Zhu Minglang’s Divine Soul, particularly when Zhu Minglang intended to release his divine aura, which did indeed inspire some confidence in Chang Gui.
