Chapter 498 - 387 Unintended Harvest

"That thing? Important?" Upon listening to Little Zi’s account, Long Yi pondered.

"Clearly, the thing they are transporting is being moved by land, not using Flying Dragons. Isn’t it strange? Are they transporting something large?"

But, no matter what it is! This thing will be mine!

Concerning Tilian’s image in the minds of others, Long Yi wasn’t interested in feeling sentimental. In Long Yi’s view, traitors are always unforgivable.

And as soon as Abbas left, Long Yi immediately did the same.

At this point, Long Yi had thoroughly become a resident of the Black Dragon Empire’s Imperial City. He had just secured his status as Abbas’s nephew, which made his comings and goings in the Imperial City more convenient. Even if it couldn’t be claimed that he was unrestrained, his level of freedom was definitely unparalleled to an average person.

Leaving the Imperial City, Long Yi immediately summoned Xiaoyou. At this time, Bajie and Xiaoyou were both hidden in the dense forest outside the city, sleeping soundly in some cave. Being part of the Dragon Clan, their ability to sleep was first-class – they could easily sleep for a month, or even without interruption for ten years.

Long Yi had lived in the Imperial City for a month, and he was thoroughly familiar with the patrol schedule around the city. At this time, this space was certainly unpatrolled!

Relying on Xiaoyou’s frightening speed, Long Yi quickly spotted the Dragon Rider flying ahead!

If I let you fly on, wouldn’t my cover be blown?

The black Xiaoyou approached rapidly, and the Dragon Rider up ahead could only see a black dragon approaching. But when Xiaoyou got closer, it was clear that Xiaoyou was indeed different from a Black Dragon. Despite also being black, Xiaoyou was much larger, reaching a length of fifty meters compared to a typical Black Dragon’s thirty. While normal Black Dragons were entirely armored with hard bone plates, Xiaoyou boasted a streamlined body with no unnecessary protrusions, and sharp wing tips that glinted with a metallic shine.

Not a Black Dragon!

A sense of alarm suddenly dawned upon the Black Dragon!

A Black Dragon, such a large size! Could it be Long Yi!

No way!

I can’t escape!

I need to fight him!

From afar, the Black Dragon Rider had already gone into battle stance.

However, the next moment, both he and his Mount Dragon’s heads dizzy, they lost consciousness.

Little Zi and her Female Demon avatars used their powerful mental control to unknowingly direct the Mount Dragon and its rider towards a deep forest aside.

Joking, do I have time to play with you?

Upon landing, Xiaoyou hid once more.

After doing a few rolls on the ground and tearing up his clothes, Long Yi, now walking on foot, eventually encountered the caravan face-to-face.

"Please, wait!"

Long Yi stood in the middle of the road, his clothing torn and his voice hoarse, looking like an extremely tired traveler.

"Stop!"

This was a small trade caravan, with three horse-drawn carriages, carrying not so many goods, and the biggest carriage in the middle was pulled by four horses, carrying a large box. Judging from the wheel tracks, the object in this box was very heavy.

"Who’s there!"

The leader of the group yelled out.

"Cough, cough... I was robbed and severely injured. I implore you, take me back to the Imperial City for treatment, I ... cough cough, will be greatly indebted."

"Scram! We have no time!" The leader of the pack said impatiently.

"Cough, cough... although I was robbed, I managed to hide this... please take me back, and I also have more..."

As he spoke, Long Yi pulled a diamond out from his pocket.

"A gem?" The leader was taken aback.

"Huh? Wait a minute, aren’t you the one who set up that grocery store full of beautiful girls?" One of the soldiers escorting the goods laughed, recognizing Long Yi.

"Yes, yes, it’s me! Cough cough! Look, there’s someone who can vouch for me!" Long Yi hastily said.

"You know him?" The leader turned back and asked.

"I know, I know! Hahaha, all the girls in that grocery store are pretty and delicate ah, those short skirts... tsk tsk, us brothers often go to buy things there, hahaha!" The soldier said laughingly.

"Alright then, stand down!" The leader sighed in relief before hopping off the cart to approach Long Yi, his eyes fixated on the gem in Long Yi’s hand.

"So it’s the big boss, sorry for the disrespect. It’s been a long time since I came back home, hope you don’t mind." Saying this, he reached for the gem in Long Yi’s hands.

Long Yi handed over the gem without hesitation. Upon receiving it, the man secretly squeezed it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Considering how badly injured you are, there’s not much space here, why don’t you sit next to the box at the back?"

Long Yi was worrying about not having a reason to get close to that large box, and the situation turned to his favor. However, when he was helped to sit next to the box, he sensed a surge of Giant power coming from inside!

Damn it!

Inside this box is actually Giant armory!

Long Yi felt that his luck was simply too good.

It was just due to curiosity that he came to take a look and ended up discovering such an important treasure!

Pretending to be seriously injured, Long Yi leaned against the crate, feeling its pulsing vibrations, yet he did not summon the Giant’s Power to resonate with it.

First, he wanted to establish how many people were around, whether anyone could escape in the confusion, and whether there were any sentinels ready to assist nearby.

Little Zi’s Female Demon avatars had already dispersed to conduct a full-spectrum reconnaissance of their surroundings.

"Brother Long, there’s a hidden scout following the convoy from the left side. There’s another scout ahead, who just passed the place where we met the Dragon Knights and didn’t notice anything strange. They just moved on," said Little Zi.

"Excellent. Calculate the time. The next patrol of Dragon Knights is due soon. Let’s be patient," Long Yi said.

Since boarding the vehicle, Long Yi had been hunched over clutching his stomach, occasionally groaning when the convoy passed over bumps and ditches. At first, people were somewhat wary of him, but later, they simply ignored him.

At that moment, a warrior approached him.

"Boss, tell me, can we... how much for... your girls?" the warrior asked somewhat euphemistically.

"What do you mean?" Long Yi groaned in response.

Another warrior at his side laughed heartily. "This guy wants to know if your girls are available! He wants to keep them! Hahaha!"

Long Yi tried to smile, but winced in pain instead, murmuring, "The girls I found were all officially hired, and it cost me quite a few sweet words and Black Dragon coins to persuade them to put on short skirts. If you like them, you can try to win their hearts."

Hearing this, the warrior leaned in even closer, "Hehe boss, as you know, I’m pretty open-minded. I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket, especially as I’m the type who gets bored with the old and craves the new. I don’t want to waste too much time... If you could help me out, I wouldn’t mind paying you... I’m your loyal customer after all."

Long Yi glanced at the warrior and chuckled, "Sorry, lad, I’m different from you, I value old things!"

Suddenly, a massive burst of mental power erupted. The Female Demon avatars screamed while Little Zi and Long Yi headed directly for the vehicles in front and behind.

"Roar!"

A dragon’s roar and, from the rear vehicle, two Giant Dragons took off with the Dragon Knights. They didn’t look like they were ready to fight — they seemed intent on escaping!

"None of them can escape! Even the dragons must be left behind!"

XiaoYou, carried by a whirlwind, charged at them from the side. She grabbed Long Yi and followed the escaping dragons. In terms of speed, no Black Dragon could compete with the Shadow Dragons. Once the two Shadow Dragons saw Long Yi giving chase, they immediately flew in different directions!

Long Yi snorted coldly, and Xiaoyou unhesitatingly pursued one of them without hesitation.

"Brother, you should slow Long Yi down as much as possible!"

The other Dragon Knight wore a triumphant smile on his face as it looked like he was going to survive, but in the next moment, a small dragon only three meters long suddenly surged up from below, pouncing onto the belly of the Black Dragon. The Dragon Power converged at its claws, forming a sharp, sword-like aura. Within moments, the stomach of the Black Dragon was ripped open by the small dragon!

"Roar!"

The agonised Black Dragon began to roll violently, trying to dislodge the small dragon from its belly. However, the small dragon not only remained fastened but also climbed onto its back! The violent rolling caused the Black Dragon’s visceral organs to spill from its belly!

The knight on the back of the dragon, looking at the bloody rain, screamed in despair. However, the small dragon, with its fierce appearance, had already climbed onto the dragon’s back!

"Don’t come here! Go die!"

The Dragon Knight screamed in heartrending grief. His Fighting Aura blasted out one after another, but they had no effect when they hit the small dragon’s scales. Meanwhile, the Dragon Knight’s head was bitten off by the small dragon.

By the time Suolin returned, Long Yi had just landed, and the ground battle had also ended. Everyone present had been frozen into ice pops, courtesy of Little Zi’s handiwork.

Long Yi opened the large crate, tossing the decoy fruits and vegetables that were in there to the side of the road. At the bottom of the crate, there was a pair of dark gold war boots.

War Boots of the Giant!

The resonance of the Giant’s Power made the boots jubilant. Long Yi gently laid his hand on them, and the boots immediately disappeared, reappearing on the fine gold avatar in Long Yi’s private space.

At the same time, Long Yi also gained a new talent ability.

Power of the Earth.

This enabled Long Yi to run at a faster speed and change the gravity around his feet at will. Both of these talents were predicated on the consumption of the Giant’s Power.

"Let’s move!"

With their objective achieved, there was no need to remain here. Long Yi and his party immediately left. It wouldn’t be long before the patrolling Dragon Knights would discover the scene, and then Long Yi’s goal would be wholly accomplished.

Imperial Palace, Tilian’s study.

When Yake heard the news of the convoy being attacked, he punched his chair into pieces in his rage, causing colorful potions to burst from the tubes. Yake destroyed his entire laboratory in his violent rage.

Not for anything else, but because he understood exactly what he lost.

Giant’s Armament!

Only two people knew about the Giant’s Armament in the Black Dragon Empire. One was Dasaide, who was deceased. The other was Yake himself. Even Tilian only knew that it was of great importance, but he didn’t know what it was!

Ever since Dasaide had acquired a piece of the Giant’s Armament and rose to prominence, he had spent his entire life searching for the Giant’s Armament. Both Yake and the deceased Emperor Kaniel were very curious about what Dasaide was looking for.

After Dasaide died, Kaniel found the answer in Dasaide’s leftover manuscripts.

It turned out to be the Giant’s Armament! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for me, and give a monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
