After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up-Chapter 83.2

Shi An Carefully Poked the Human in Front of Him with the Tip of his Claw (2)

Shi An flapped his wings and glided slowly in the swift wind.

Suddenly, he slowed down.

The depths of the dragon’s red-golden eyes flashed with a hint of confusion. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Now he should return to the cave with the spoils of war.

But…

Where was his cave?

Shi An remembered he initially had a cave.

A vast, dry, dark cave filled with shiny gold, silver, and jewels to sleep in for a long time after burying himself in it.

But then, a fuzzy picture emerged in Shi An’s mind.

The cave was gone and so was the treasure.

Where did they go?

–They were stolen.

The dragon’s flame-like pupils burned with violent hostility and the restlessness that had just been soothed rose in his heart. His strong desire for destruction rose again and the flaming red color floated between the scales from his chest to his neck.

At this moment, he felt his tail being tugged.

Shi An was stunned.

He lowered his eyes and looked in the direction of his tail.

The shiny silver light was reflected in his eyes and the warmth of human body heat slowly seeped into the gaps between the scales, sinking in and inexplicably giving him a strange sense of satisfaction.

My trophy.

Mine.

Shi An forgot about his anger in the blink of an eye and became happy again.

The scent of humans and the noisy sounds of the city made Shi An feel instinctively unhappy, so he flew in the direction away from the people, away from the dust and noise.

Finally, Shi An saw an extremely high, barren mountain at the city’s edge.

He examined the mountain in front of him with a discerning eye.

It was barely okay.

Let’s make a new nest here.

After making up his mind, the dragon opened his mouth and hot flames spewed from deep in his throat.

The air was burned and distorted by the high temperature and the dark rocks were instantly melted into black and gold magma, flowing down the cracks of the rocks of the deserted peaks.

This was not the first time Shi An made a nest and he was already very skilled at it.

He used his claws to crush the rock pieces in the way, dug them out, and threw them aside.

Soon, a big and deep cave took shape.

Shi An folded his wings and landed inside with satisfaction.

The ground hadn’t wholly cooled, slightly burning.

Shi An alternated between his left and right talons and bounced around the cave twice as the mountain shook and debris that hadn’t quite set in fell from overhead and crackled on the ground.

His head was smashed squarely.

Shi An got angry. He lifted his head and let out a roar toward the place where the falling rocks came from.

The stone finally stopped falling.

Shi An squatted down gleefully, curled his paws under his belly, then wrapped his tail around his body and gazed at the human trophy he had brought back to his new nest.

The man’s eyes were tightly closed, silver eyelashes casting deep shadows on his pale face.

He had passed out on the way here.

Shi An laid down, put his head forward, and carefully poked the human in front of him with the tip of his claw.

Mu Heng’s scattered silver hair was stained with dust and blood, his jacket was torn and tattered, and there were still bone-deep claw marks on his shoulders.

Under Shi An’s touch, the wound on the human’s shoulder broke apart, and the blood gushed out more fiercely.

However, there was no movement.

The eyes were so beautiful. Why not open them?

Shi An gazed at the human in front of him in confusion, feeling very bewildered.

He always felt that he had to do something else.

Although the collection had arrived, for some reason, it seemed that there was still a process missing… a necessary process.

What is it?

He couldn’t remember.

Shi An probed his claws.

The sharp claw tip that can crush rocks rested on the man’s head and the golden-red vertical pupils were cold and cruel.

Should he rip him off?

Shi An thought carefully and finally withdrew his claws.

… It seemed not.

That would be unattractive.

However, the harder Shi An tried to recall, the more chaotic his mind became. No matter what, he could not find half a clue.

Not sure if it was due to the excessive consumption of magic power, he began to feel sleepy.

Shi An yawned and blinked his red-gold eyes, lying down again.

He poked out his silver-white tail and wrapped the tip of his spiky, thin tail around the human's waist, circling him firmly and dragging him to his side.

Think about it again after waking up.

***

After a long time, the three demonic creatures finally arrived while gasping for breath.

The Eye asked, “Here?”

“That’s right.” The demon insect nodded.

As the longest subordinate who had followed the dragon, he was the most sensitive to Shi An’s scent.

“What should we do now? Follow inside?”

Black Smoke was a bit hesitant. “The lord wouldn’t kill us, would he?”

After all, it was very self-aware of its strength.

Nobody in this world could have a back-and-forth fight with the dragon except for Mu Heng.

And if they were found out… they would probably be burned to a crisp.

A dragon who lost his senses would not show any mercy to them.

“We won’t be discovered if we’re a bit quieter.”

“Right. After all, we must ensure the lord’s safety.” The Eye agreed.

–It would be best if that human were dead.

It prayed in its heart.

The three demonic creatures sneaked closer, carefully poked their heads out, and looked down through the gap above the cave.

In the empty cave, the dragon huddled between the junction of shadow and light, its scales shimmering with the faint glow of the morning sun.

The silver-white tip of his tail wrapped possessively around the man’s waist, firmly encircling the other side.

The dragon cradled its only treasure and fell into a deep, restful sleep.

The whole scene looked both peaceful and eerie.

The three demonic creatures: “….”

It was something they couldn’t understand abd it greatly shocked them.

The author has something to say.

Dragon: Snatch the princess home and sleep with the princess.
