Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Bluffing Becomes Lame (Part 2)_1

At this moment, a bizarre scene unfolded in Sunset Valley.

A mutated parrot led the way, a human walked in the middle, and a gigantic mutated buffalo followed, guarding the rear.

If this scene were captured on camera, it would surely make countless experts studying mutated beings’ eyes pop out.

Chen Dalong, protected in the middle, had gradually calmed down after the initial panic and started observing his surroundings.

He quickly noticed that the dense jungle, which was previously impenetrable, now seemed as if it harbored no danger at all.

Of course, he understood that it wasn’t that there was no danger anymore; rather, all the mutated insects were actively hiding as they approached.

He had already witnessed such a scene before; he had seen it once when the mutated buffalo showed its might yesterday.

He had noticed the same thing earlier while being chased by a mutated wild boar.

Previously, he couldn’t find answers to his questions and could only suppress them, but now…

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Dalong couldn’t help but break the silence and asked, “Lord Parrot, why do those mutated insects actively hide from you?”

If he knew a viable method, it would become extremely convenient for future outdoor exploration should the opportunity arise.

“It’s because of the aura! The more powerful the being, the more terrifying its aura. That’s also why you were shivering in fear.”

“Those mutated insects are much more sensitive to aura, so they hide away well in advance,” Ye Feng, possessing the parrot, casually answered.

These matters were no secret, so he had no reason to conceal anything.

Chen Dalong nodded in understanding, feeling slightly disappointed inside.

Such an answer meant little difference to him whether he knew it or not.

The group continued to move forward, and with no disturbances, they progressed quite quickly.

Before long, they had advanced several hundred meters.

At that point, Chen Dalong was shocked to discover a metallic wall ahead.

Why would there be a wall here?

This thought swirled in his mind but before he could ask, he saw the mutated parrot fly past it.

Chen Dalong could only suppress his doubts as he walked over.

“Such a strange material. What kind of metal is this, some unknown alloy? But why is there a wall here?” he murmured to himself after tapping the wall lightly with his hand.

The wall was only one meter tall, and just as Chen Dalong was about to climb over, the parrot sternly scolded, “What do you think you’re doing to our King?”

“King?” Chen Dalong was somewhat puzzled, and then he watched in horror as the metallic wall in front of him began to wriggle slowly.

Then a colossal head lifted from the nearby bushes, a pair of eyes as big as bronze mirrors, coldly observing him.

“Gulp!” Chen Dalong swallowed hard.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

His legs shook uncontrollably, trembling like a pendulum, and it was only by sheer force of will that he managed to hold back from urinating.

“Gr-Great… Great King,” Chen Dalong stammered out a greeting.

“Hiss!” The mutated king cobra hissed as its tongue flickered in and out.

At that moment, the mutated parrot’s voice came just in time, “The King says: considering it’s your first offense, you will be spared this time, but if there’s a next time…”

Boom!

Chen Dalong saw a shadow flash by him, and a massive boulder not far from him shattered into pieces.

“That will be your end.”

Terrified, Chen Dalong shuddered all over, his gaze filled with fear as he looked at the mutated king cobra.

Even though he was seven or eight meters away from the boulder, the strong wind from the cobra’s passing tail was enough to cause him intense pain on his face.

Had that tail struck him, he doubted anything would be left of him.

“Understood… clearly understood,” Chen Dalong quickly said after coming back to his senses.

The Mutated King Cobra nodded its head, issuing a hiss once more.

At its side, the Mutated Parrot began translating in sync, “Do you know why I asked you to come here?”

“Your subordinate doesn’t know,” Chen Dalong quickly continued along the line of questioning.

Hiss!

The Mutated Parrot translated, “I am still in need of a human subordinate, are you willing to join me?”

Chen Dalong wanted to say no, but he sensibly swallowed that word back down.

If he said it out loud, he feared the next moment he would be smacked into mush by the other’s tail.

“I am willing,” Chen Dalong hurriedly said, for no matter what, it was most important to bluff his way through first.

Hiss!

The Mutated Parrot translated, “Good, in that case, let’s follow the ancient ritual and sign a contract then!”

“Let Heaven and Earth bear witness, reveal the ritual platform!”

As the Mutated Parrot’s voice dropped, Chen Dalong felt a slight tremor on the ground, then the earth in front of him parted.

A ritual platform, assembled from numerous wooden sticks, slowly rose before his eyes from the ground.

This spectacle was more shocking to Chen Dalong than anything else before.

Especially the last sentence spoken by the Mutated Parrot, which had taken Chen Dalong’s thoughts straight into the gutter.

“A miracle?” Chen Dalong’s voice trembled once again.

Because this scene before him truly could not be explained by science.

“My king is the reincarnation of an ancient True Dragon who is about to transform into a Scaled Dragon and has already been able to perform some Minor Divine Powers,” the Mutated Parrot explained by his side.

The reincarnation of an ancient True Dragon?

A Scaled Dragon?

Chen Dalong looked up in a daze, and only after being reminded did he notice the protrusions on the head of the massive King Cobra before him.

They were inconspicuous, but they indeed seemed to be the legendary Dragon Horns.

At this moment, Chen Dalong truly wanted to kneel.

There was no helping it; the position dragons held in the hearts of his people was well known.

“What are you standing around for? This is a great opportunity for you. With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, it’s likely that many ancient creatures will reappear in this world.”

“Becoming a subordinate of our Dragon Lord is certainly the best foundation for your life,” scolded the Mutated Parrot from the side.

“Okay, okay,”

Chen Dalong scrambled toward the ritual platform, meanwhile voicing the curiosity in his heart, “Lord Parrot, what is the Spiritual Energy Resurgence?”

“The Spiritual Energy Resurgence refers to the presence of Spiritual Energy once again amidst Heaven and Earth. Spiritual Energy is the source of evolution for all beings, which is what your humans call ‘mutation.’

“As Spiritual Energy returns, more and more powerful creatures will emerge,” the Mutated Parrot answered.

Chen Dalong was slightly stunned; the origin of mutation was indeed this so-called Spiritual Energy.

“Then why hasn’t there been any mutation among our humans?” Chen Dalong continued to ask quietly.

“Who says it hasn’t happened? The superhumans among you humans are the result of mutation, aren’t they? This path is even more difficult than mutating, which is why it occurs even less frequently,” the Mutated Parrot casually fibbed.

Seeing Chen Dalong about to ask another question, the Mutated Parrot said impatiently, “Enough, no more talking. Dragon Lord is waiting!”

“Once the contract is complete, you’ll be a subordinate of Dragon Lord. Should Dragon Lord be pleased, he might even grant you an opportunity to become a superhuman.”
