Lei Luo did not carelessly ask them questions at once. Instead, he organized his thoughts and listed out what he wanted to know. Then, he would ask them these questions one by one later.

There was a benefit to doing so. Shardin and Sharbao might not have any ulterior motives and would tell him everything they knew, but the problem was that they might not understand the whole picture. If Lei Luo blindly believed their words, he might have some wrong perception and cause trouble for himself.

Preconceptions were usually the root of misunderstandings.

After calming himself down, Lei Luo listed the various questions he had before calling Shardin and Sharbao over.

“How many years have passed since the Merman Race started keeping records?”

“If you include the years when the Merman Race was still a part of the Sea Beast Race, a total of 600 years have passed.”

“Regarding my Poison Dragon bloodline, how did your Merman Race record and spread information about it?”

Sharbao was stunned and carefully looked at Lei Luo. Seeing that he couldn’t detect anything, he said, “According to our records, the Poison Dragon is a tumor in the world, an existence that must be eliminated. It doesn’t belong to the orthodox Dragon Race and is evil.”

“Legend has it that the Poison Dragon is tyrannical and overbearing. Once it gets angry, it will poison and kill millions of lives, bringing disaster to the world. Furthermore, some evidence has indeed proved it.”

“For example, 800 years ago, the Level-9 members of the Poison Dragon bloodline fought against the Sea Beast Race. Not a single blade of grass grew within 50,000 kilometers of the sea, and a large number of fish died. The range of impact reached over 500,000 kilometers.”

“However, there are also some people who believe that the Poison Dragon bloodline consists of creatures of a higher level than the Dragon Race. They are just misunderstood.”

“The humans on the continent aren’t very friendly to the Poison Dragon. As for the higher-ups, only the Dragon Race and the humans have records of them taking the initiative to deal with the Poison Dragon.”

Lei Luo scratched the ground lightly with his claws. His mind raced as he considered the accuracy of their words.

The saying that the Poison Dragon Bloodline was a tumor was definitely wrong, because if they really posed such great danger, how could they have lived until now?

It was very likely that the enemy races were proclaiming this, ultimately leaving behind this result.

As for the fact that the Poison Dragon’s attacks would affect other living beings, based on what Lei Luo could sense, it was either intentional on the Poison Dragon’s part, uncontrollable, or the Poison Dragon had been framed by others.

He had only been born for two years, but he was already able to control his poisonous breath. How could his predecessors, who were even more formidable than him, be unable to control it?

If it was done on purpose, then it meant that it was for the sake of killing the enemy and couldn’t be controlled. There was nothing to say about this. Meanwhile, if the Poison Dragons had been framed, this meant that there were races targeting the Poison Dragon bloodline.

On the other hand, Sharbao also mentioned that the Poison Dragon bloodline was of a higher level than the Dragon Race. This kind of news could not be trusted for the time being, as it lacked evidence.

When Lei Luo was still in the egg, the golden eyes that appeared in the sky were somewhat similar to the dragon eyes. This was consistent with the information provided by Sharbao.

The Dragon Race and the human race. One of them was the race that the Poison Dragon Race belonged to, while the other was the overlord of the continent.

Both sides wanted to deal with the Poison Dragon. For the Poison Dragon bloodline to survive until now, it could be said that their strength was formidable.

“It seems like I have to be more careful if I go to human territory.”

Lei Luo’s eyes flickered. Then, he asked, “Then tell me about the news about my parents. How did you determine that my parents weren’t with me, and how did you know about them?”

Shardin said, “I know about this. I happened to overhear his conversation with the tribe leader outside the door.”

“Eight hundred years ago, there were actually two Poison Dragons that fought against the Sea Beast Race. Furthermore, they were husband and wife. Their goal was to seize the Sea King’s Pearl from the Sea Beast Race. The Sea King’s Pearl is only useful to creatures that have yet to be born. It was obviously for their child.”

“According to the birth period of the Dragon Race, the dragon egg will hatch by itself around this time.”

“The Lord Priest should have determined your whereabouts based on this information.”

Lei Luo was a little excited. He finally knew something, instead of being in the dark about everything.

“Let’s talk about that later. What about the final whereabouts of the two Poison Dragons? Where did they go?”

Shardin took two steps back and quickly said, “One year ago, one of the two Poison Dragons that seized the Sea King’s Pearl died, and the other was injured. The mother Poison Dragon left the vicinity of our sea area. At that time, there were experts from the Human Mage Union chasing after it, and our race happened to record it.”

“After that, there was no news from either side. No one knew the outcome.”

“This information was derived from the Lord Priest himself.”

When Sharbao heard this, he also hurriedly took two steps back. Although it was almost useless, it brought a sense of security.

Meanwhile, Lei Luo frowned and stood on the rock without saying a word.

Shardin wasn’t lying, and there were indeed records about this in the Merman Race, but it would only make things more troublesome.

Lei Luo’s father was dead, and his mother was missing somewhere. The only enemy left was the Human Mage Union.

However, just from its name alone, one could tell that this Mage Union was not easy to deal with.

They were able to kill his parents, two adult Poison Dragons, back then. Thus, they were definitely very powerful.

Moreover, humans were the overlords of the continent. They would not allow him to harm humans. There would definitely be conflict.

Lei Luo shook his head and did not dwell on those matters anymore. He was only Level-2 now. If he wanted to take revenge, he would have to wait until he surpassed his parents’ level before doing so.

He then asked, “Which direction did those people from the Mage Union head in?”

“They headed for the abyss rift, which is connected to the underground abyss. It’s said that there’s another world there.”

Lei Luo kept this information to himself and consoled himself at the same time. The disappearance meant that there was still a chance of survival. Those delays were being considered.

Now, the warriors from the Merman Race had come to investigate him one after another. He couldn’t hide for long unless he moved to other islands.

However, Lei Luo was from the Poison Dragon bloodline, yet was being forced to move by the Merman Race?

Putting aside the fact that he was unwilling to do so, if the ancestor in his memories were to find out about this, he would probably be so furious that he would turn from a dead person to a living one. Then, his ancestor would get up and beat Lei Luo up. There was no other reason. This move was too degrading.

The decision to move had been rejected. All that was left was to face the enemy head-on!

Lei Luo waved his hand and gestured for Shardin and Sharbao to come forward to speak. “How many of the Merman Race have entered Level-4? How many Level-5 warriors are there?”

After coming ashore, the combat power of the Level-3 merman warriors would be weakened. He no longer paid much attention to them.

Instead, he simply asked about the Level-4 and Level-5 warriors.

Compared to the Level-2 merman that Lei Luo had caught last time, Shardin and Sharbao knew more.

“There are very few Level-4 merman warriors. Including the tribe leader, there are only three Level-4 warriors. Meanwhile, the tribe leader is at peak Level-4 and might enter Level-5.”

“The Lord Priest knows many spells and unorthodox methods, but he is only slightly weaker than the tribe leader.”

“The remaining one is the strongest warrior of the Merman Race. However, he was able to obtain this title and enter the Level-4 because of the resources of our race. He doesn’t have much ability.”

Lei Luo’s heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he had caught two more mermen this time to ask for information.

He did not expect that the Merman Race actually had two Level-4 warriors. Furthermore, the tribe leader was suspected to have entered Level-5.

These powers were relatively weak for a race, but they were already a threat to Lei Luo.

Furthermore, since his identity was that of a Poison Dragon, and he was on a deserted island, he couldn’t seek help from any race.

“Where is the exact location of the Merman Race? How long will it take to get there? If you don’t send any news back, how will the Merman Race usually handle it?”

Lei Luo asked a series of questions. He had an idea that was forming.

If he could make the two of them disappear for the time being, he would be able to lure more mermen to this area, and he would be able to kill his way to their base.

Regardless of whether it was effective or not, he would spit out two mouthfuls of his poisonous breath at them first!
