Chapter 252 - 252 Taming the Flood Dragon

252 Taming the Flood Dragon

As soon as the team stepped into the demonic beasts’ forest, the grand elders’ expressions changed slightly. They felt an extraordinary aura, which was the pressure of a great demon.

Looking at the towering trees around them, blocked almost all the sunlight so the surroundings were very dark. Those strange-shaped plants were like monsters lurking in the dark.

It gave people inexplicable panic and fear. If it was a younger disciple, they would have shown fear at this time. However, all the people present were elders who had been famous for many years and had been boasting about their extraordinary abilities.

Even those elite disciples’ expressions did not change.

“I heard that the flood dragon’s strength is unfathomable. I wonder if Elder Li has any plans?”

“What plans can I have? it just so happens that the sect is lacking a guardian divine beast. I think this flood dragon is quite suitable.”

The two grand elders of the Misty Illusory Manor and the Dao Seeking Sect were the ones who spoke. Their gazes met in mid-air, and sparks flew.

Although they were in a cooperative relationship, there was a flood dragon. Anyone with a bit of strength would covet it.

It was a demonic beast with the dragon clan’s bloodline. One must know that the dragon clan had already gone extinct. With such a great temptation, who wouldn’t be tempted?

The conversation between the two sides was also a test to see what cards the other party had.

“Elder Li seems to be very confident in taming that flood dragon. It seems like you’re determined to win.”

“You’ve flattered me. I was just lucky to obtain a semi-divine-grade beast-taming ring in the secret realm. So I came here to try my luck.”

When the crowd heard this and saw the smug look on his face, they were instantly dumbfounded. They couldn’t help but curse him in their hearts, “A cunning old fox!”

What was the beast-taming ring? It could tame those fierce demonic beasts and achieve twice the result with half the effort, not to mention that it was a semi-divine artifact.

To deal with this kind of flood dragon, even if it wasn’t 80% of winning, it was at least 50%. No wonder the people of the Misty Illusory Manor were so enthusiastic this time. They actually had such a hidden move.

The people of the Dao Seeking Sect who also wanted to tame the flood dragon instantly changed their expressions. After all, they didn’t have such a good thing in their hands, which meant that their success rate was reduced by half, not to mention that there was such a powerful opponent.

However, the people from the Misty Illusory Manor said hypocritically, “There’s only one flood dragon, so let’s all rely on our abilities. We can’t hurt each other’s feelings.”

The others could only force a smile.

Fortunately, the Misty Illusory Manor did not get carried away. They knew that if they were to fall out with these people now, they would not be able to get any benefits from fighting alone. Perhaps they might need their help to subdue the flood dragon.

“Hit it where it hurts most. Besides, if we can subdue the flood dragon, then we’ll have nothing to fear of the demonic beasts.”

“Besides, there are other great demons here. If you can tame them as your spiritual pets, it will greatly improve your strength.”

This sentence made the others’ expressions slightly better. Even if there was no flood dragon, the other great demons were not bad either. At least this trip would not be in vain.

Moreover, most people knew that the strength of the flood dragon was unfathomable. Even if they could tame it, they would have to pay a huge price. It was estimated that only people like the Misty Illusory Manor and Dao Seeking Sect could do so.

Although they were envious, they could only watch. When they heard these words, they felt somewhat comforted.

“How can we be compared to the elders? It’s already not bad if we can tame a few great demons. As for the flood dragon, I wonder who can tame it.”

The crowd chimed in, and the tense atmosphere became lively again.

No one noticed that there were a few pairs of cold eyes silently watching all of this in the dark. Then, they disappeared without a trace and brought the news back.

Although they had entered the demonic beasts’ forest, they didn’t know where the flood dragon’s Lair was. Logically speaking, the deeper they went, the more demonic beasts there should be.

But the strange thing was that they didn’t even see a single demonic beast along the way.

“Where did all these demonic beasts go? Logically speaking, we should have encountered a few.”

Their original plan was to catch a few great demons and bring them directly to the flood dragon’s lair. But now, they felt like they were trapped. They kept wandering in the same place, and the surrounding scenery didn’t change at all.

The people present all had decent cultivation, and they quickly discovered that something was wrong.

“We seem to have already walked past this place.”

Although the surrounding scenery was similar, with giant trees that covered the sky as far as the eye could see, one could still find the difference.

They had been wandering around this place for nearly an hour, so it was impossible to say that there was nothing fishy about it.

“Could it be that the flood dragon has already discovered us?” someone guessed.

According to the strength of the flood dragon, it should have already sensed them. The reason why it was holding back was probably to wait for an opportunity to attack. What a deep scheme!

Everyone carefully advanced. Their expressions were not as smug as before.

At some point in time, a thin layer of white mist had appeared in the forest. The thin mist hung on the treetops and grass like dewdrops, making it unremarkable at first glance.

By the time they noticed it, there was already a faint layer of white on the ground, like a thin veil covering the ground, giving off an illusory feeling.

“Hey, why it fogs all of a sudden?”

Looking at the white mist that suddenly appeared, everyone immediately became vigilant and quickly covered themselves with protective divine light, completely cutting themselves off from the fog.

The group continued to move forward. This fog did not cause any harm to the human body, but it gradually became thicker and thicker, so much so that it blurred their vision.

The occasional fog in the forest was not unheard of, but even so, they did not let down their guard.
