Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 465 - 465 464 Coffin

Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Coffin Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Coffin Times have changed.

After having stealthily eaten three of Snow Giant Da’s fingers, the Little Dream Dragon’s Primordial Spirit form had become much stronger, and its power swallowing had massively increased.

Caught off guard, a middle finger on the frosty blue arm was transformed into a frost star larger than a fist and then fell into the mouth of the Little Dream Dragon.

Crack, crunch.

Giving no chances, the Little Dream Dragon bit and chewed hurriedly, swallowing the frost star for fear of being outpaced and having it snatched back.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The frosty blue arm, missing a middle finger, clenched into a fist as if electrocuted, its light trembling chaotically, but it could no longer maintain its invisible state. In the next moment, its true form was revealed—a forty-meter tall Frost Giant Troll.

“Shuang Da!”

Although its outline had changed a bit, Russell recognized it immediately—it was the Frost Giant Troll that had assimilated Snow Giant Da, with its box-shaped head, ivory-like sharp tusks, leather shorts, and that huge wooden club.

Like the Snow Giant Da of the past, this Shuang Da now lacked a middle finger on its right hand, a true loss that couldn’t be regrown.

It roared with its mouth open, obviously in great pain and anger.

But helpless to locate the Little Dream Dragon, it could only rage ineffectually in the real world.

Seeing this, the chubby-cheeked Russell showed a greedy smile, “Ice Cream, don’t be in a hurry to sleep, have another bite, one more bite!”

“Ga!” The Little Dream Dragon was of the same mind.

It opened its mouth wide and charged forward, ready to take another ferocious bite and have a full meal.

However, Torrent Scale Tower was already blooming with an ocean-blue silhouette. With Shuang Da’s appearance, the Torrential Flood Dragon was also about to project its own shadow.

Upon seeing this, Shuang Da dared not roar anymore.

It turned tail and ran toward the direction of the snowfield—neither Frost Giant Trolls nor Snow Giants could employ escape techniques in the warm lands.

It was too fast to catch up with, and feeling the presence of the Torrential Flood Dragon, the Little Dream Dragon cried out unwillingly, “Ga!”

The next moment.

The Gloomy Dreamland collapsed suddenly, and Russell’s consciousness was plunged into darkness.

Almost the instant Gloomy Dreamland went offline, he was awoken by a resounding dragon’s cry that echoed through the sky and earth.

“Oom!”

“Torrential Flood Dragon… Shuang Da…” After waking up, Russell didn’t call for his servants; he swiftly dressed in casual clothes.

He then mentally commanded his contracted companions, “Hape, Uroboros, stay and guard the house. Polly, Rossay, you come with me… The Torrential Flood Dragon has made its appearance, and the Shadowflame Dragon must have come too, we can’t be missing.”

However, when Russell got to Leize,

He saw only the silhouettes of the Shadowflame Dragon and the Torrential Flood Dragon lingering at the edge of Leize, without catching a glimpse of Shuang Da.

The silhouette of the Torrential Flood Dragon looked at Russell, who arrived later. It already knew Russell didn’t understand Dragon language, so it didn’t even bother to greet him and simply dispersed its shadow.

The silhouette of the Shadowflame Dragon nodded at Russell, and without saying much else, also dispersed its shadow.

Its alliance with Russell was a secret, not convenient to reveal before Torrent Scale Tower.

“Phew!”

With the disappearance of the two giant dragons’ silhouettes, Russell felt a sense of loss, “It seems Shuang Da got away pretty fast.”

“Shuang Da has evolved,” Polly responded. “It grew from over twenty meters to over forty meters, so it’s normal for it to be a little faster. But from what I feel, Shuang Da doesn’t seem to be as strong as Snow Giant Da used to be.”

Polly reflected carefully, speaking in her mind, “The strength of Shuang Da is more concentrated than Snow Giant Da’s, but it seems more like a Spellcaster without Snow Giant Da’s power to tear apart a dragon’s flesh.”

“That’s correct, I have the same feeling,” Russell nodded.

All in all, the impact Shuang Da brought him wasn’t as strong as the Snow Giant—just the sheer height of two hundred meters of the Snow Giant was enough to shock anyone. Dragons couldn’t bring the same kind of direct shock as the Snow Giant did.

Shuang Da was only forty meters tall.

Not only did the dragons look down upon it in disdain, but even when he saw it, his first thought wasn’t fear, but rather the desire to blast out some Frost Stars.

“Forget it, if it’s gone, it’s gone. There will be chances to blast Frost Stars when we meet again in the future,” Russell said casually, “Next up, let’s go to the site where Uroboros discovered underground magic artifacts and dig around!”

Polly led the way while Rossay flew.

They soon arrived at the location, where five large holes were on the ground, left by the traces of Shuang Da’s hand-digging. Had it not been for the Little Dream Dragon secretly blocking, perhaps Shuang Da would have avoided the Torrent Scale Tower and stolen the treasures from here.

“Rossay, it’s up to you now.”

“Leave it to me, Father,” Black Oil Dragon Ross answered and then began to dig in the ground with his claws vigorously.

If it were an ordinary Bipedal Flying Dragon, it would certainly disdain such dirty and tiring work, but who asked Rosay to be Russell’s good eldest son. However, Rossay’s claws were not designed for digging, so the speed was very slow.

Russell grew impatient and casually called upon the Sword Butterfly Mark in the palm of his hand.

The next moment.

The Sword Butterfly Amber Spirit flew out, and with a gentle tap on the butterfly’s wings, Russell said, “Sword Butterfly, please turn into a broadsword.”

The Sword Butterfly could turn into a great sword with the length of the blade and the width of the edge being adjustable at will.

With Russell’s guidance, the Sword Butterfly quickly turned into a huge broadsword, and then Russell used it as a shovel, digging into the ground alongside Rossay.

The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse, the soil moist.

As they dug, Russell also had to drain the water, which was quite simple. He just deployed the Dragon Breath Starburst, blowing the accumulated water in the pit away, which conveniently also helped loosen the soil to facilitate his and Rossay’s digging.

Before long, they had dug out a big pit.

But they didn’t find any underground magic artifacts, and as the area was a marshland, the water couldn’t be drained, returning quickly after being blown away. Russell did not dare to bomb recklessly, afraid of damaging any underground magic artifacts.

“Hape, bring Uroboros over here,” having no choice, Russell called out to Harpy Dragon Hape and Ouroboros in his mind.

Soon, both Phantom Beasts descended from the sky.

When Hape released its claws, Uroboros landed on the ground.

“Hape, take a rest,” said Russell, “Uroboros, you located this spot in the Gloomy Dreamland, but we haven’t found the magic artifact. I’m thinking you can use the Earth Traveling Spell to search underground.”

“Sure thing,” Uroboros agreed at once.

Immediately, Uroboros deployed the Earth Traveling Spell, sinking straight into the soil, and moments later, it emerged at the edge of the big pit.

“Found it, Russell, dig down from here. There’s something very strange over there, looks like a big stone,” Uroboros reported in his mind.

Russell didn’t hesitate.

He continued digging with Rossay, carved out a full five meters deep, drained water several times, and finally reached the big stone Uroboros had mentioned.

With both claws, Rossay grabbed one end of the big stone, flapped his wings, and pulled the big stone out of the mud pit entirely intact.

The big stone was covered in a great deal of mud, making it unclear what kind of stone it was.

But Russell frowned, “Why does this look so much like… a coffin? It shouldn’t be possible. Dragon Sleep Continent doesn’t have the custom of burial. After death, bodies are burned to ash, and coffins aren’t used to bury them.”

Coffins, as an item, simply didn’t exist on Dragon Sleep Continent.

“Let’s not worry about it for now. Rossay, put it down, I’ll check it thoroughly,” with the help of moonlight, Russell began to inspect the big stone that looked very much like a coffin.
