Chapter 122: Long Bao Said, Hum!

Gao Yang and Feng Wu wandered through the underground palace, searching for the source of the dragon's roar. They had scoured everywhere but still couldn't find Xu Yan and Xu Ying.

Now that there was suddenly no movement, the two of them became even more anxious.

The two frantically exchanged messages.

"Why is there suddenly no movement?"

"Could Xu Yan and Xu Ying have been eaten by the Voodoo Dragon?"

"Aite them—they're not replying either. This is making me panic!"

Other teammates also started asking frantically.

"Have you found Xu Yan and Xu Ying yet?"

"Nothing."

"Where is the underground palace? We'll come to help look too!"

"You can't enter. There are guards and a giant stone gate."

"Could something have happened to the two of them?"

"I don't know about Xu Yan, but if something happened to Xu Ying, our invisibility would have been broken."

"Aite them again. Why aren't they responding? Could they be doing something inappropriate…"

"Shut up! Is this the time to joke? Xu Yan's life or death is uncertain!"

"I was wrong…"

"The dragon's roar happened exactly when they lost contact. The two of them should be right next to the Voodoo Dragon. If you two search carefully, you'll find the dragon!"

"We know! Aren't we looking?"

"It's strange. The dragon roar clearly came from this direction before. Why can't we find it?"

"Yeah, the Voodoo Dragon is huge. It shouldn't be this hard to find, right?"

"...Oh sh*t…"

After Gao Yang typed "sh*t," he suddenly stopped talking.

Feng Wu also went silent.

The group chat instantly exploded.

"What's happening? Gao Yang! Speak up! What's happening!?"

"Feng Wu! What's going on over there!?"

"Why aren't you two saying anything?"

"Wait… no way. Don't tell me they've been—"

At that moment, inside the underground palace…

Gao Yang and Feng Wu held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

A massive dragon's head had just passed through the camouflaged stone wall.

One dragon, two men.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere was tense.

After being contracted by Xu Yan, the Voodoo Dragon could see his invisible teammates. The dragon's huge pupils locked onto two figures—one fat, one muscular.

The Voodoo Dragon let out a greeting roar.

"Hello, my friends."

But Gao Yang and Feng Wu couldn't understand dragon speech.

They had no idea the dragon was now one of their own.

They had no idea why the Voodoo Dragon could see them.

And now, the dragon was staring straight at them.

Under the overwhelming pressure of an ancient dragon species, they knew…

They were probably dead.

Their invisibility had been seen through.

Run?

That might just provoke the dragon into chasing them. Then everyone would know about them, and it would be game over.

Fight?

Yeah, right.

Even though Feng Wu was level 30 and the Voodoo Dragon was also level 30, this was no ordinary beast.

The sheer pressure of its presence alone made Feng Wu feel like he couldn't breathe.

Even if they somehow won, the noise from the battle would be massive.

Everyone would hear it.

Game over.

Don't run?

Maybe—just maybe—there was a sliver of hope.

If the dragon wasn't interested in them, it might ignore them and leave.

So, Gao Yang and Feng Wu froze in place, trembling, sweating, and praying for a miracle.

For a moment, the three of them just stared at each other.

Then…

Xu Yan walked out of the camouflaged stone wall.

"Gao Yang? Feng Wu?"

"What are you two doing here?"

"Come say hello to your new comrade."

"Let me introduce you—Voodoo Dragon, ancient dragon species, level 30."

Silence.

Feng Wu and Gao Yang were stunned.

New comrade!?

Ancient dragon species!?

The Voodoo Dragon… has become a comrade!?

Xu Yan, are you kidding us!?

Also, why wasn't Xu Yan invisible?

Why was he just standing there like he owned the place!?

Gao Yang nearly shouted, then realized they were still in enemy territory.

He quickly shut his mouth, pulled out his phone, and started furiously typing.

"Xu Yan!? Are you insane!?"

"Why did you break invisibility!? We're still in the enemy camp!"

At that moment…

Xu Ying stepped out, too.

"Gao Yang, stop panicking."

"Just talk. No need to type—it's pointless."

She wasn't invisible either.

Both Gao Yang and Feng Wu were stunned.

"Why?"

"Why won't you be discovered?"

"Because," Xu Ying said, "the entire Voodoo Clan's wizards are our own now."

"WHAT!?"

Xu Ying lifted their invisibility.

Feng Wu freaked out.

"NO! NO! DON'T DO THIS!"

"HOW CAN HALF-HUMAN WIZARDS BE OUR ALLIES!?"

"YOU'VE BEEN TRICKED! YOU'VE BEEN—"

Just then…

Ten great shamans stepped out of the underground palace.

Gao Yang and Feng Wu froze.

Their pupils shrank.

Their bodies trembled.

Ten level 50 Great Shamans.

We're dead.

We're absolutely dead.

Xu Ying, you tricked us!

Then, the ten great shamans glanced at them.

And then…

They bowed to Xu Yan.

"Lord Envoy, let's continue with our preparations."

Xu Yan nodded.

"Alright, proceed."

Gao Yang and Feng Wu… were dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe their eyes.

The great shamans were saluting Xu Yan!?

They didn't understand the language.

But they understood body language.

The tone.

The respect.

The great shamans were seeking Xu Yan's permission.

And Xu Yan approved it.

This… This kind of thing is actually happening!?

The Voodoo Dragon let out an annoyed growl.

Xu Yan translated.

"You two, hurry up and say hello to Long Bao. He's upset."

"He says you have no manners. He greeted you, and you ignored him."

The Voodoo Dragon snorted angrily.

Xu Yan sighed.

"He says, 'Hmph!'"

Gao Yang and Feng Wu's minds shattered.

Their common sense collapsed.

They were completely, utterly broken.

"H… Hello…"

Xu Yan nodded.

"Long Bao says, 'You're welcome.'"

Gao Yang and Feng Wu's faces twitched.

They had officially lost their minds.
