Chapter 1118 - 1118 1078 Hunting Expedition Outside the City

1118: Chapter 1078: Hunting Expedition Outside the City 1118: Chapter 1078: Hunting Expedition Outside the City Lu Chuan set off with Jyang Ran and Yu Qiming, preparing to leave the city to confront the so-called flood dragon.

However, before setting off, Lu Chuan planned to pay a visit to City Lord Huang Tiankang.

If he could get his help, that would naturally be even better.

Lu Chuan and the two others set out together and arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord’s Mansion had been renovated once again.

It looked almost the same as before, but many details revealed traces of fighting.

As soon as Lu Chuan entered the City Lord’s Mansion, he immediately saw City Lord Huang Tiankang.

To Huang Tiankang, Lu Chuan was already a true VIP.

As soon as Lu Chuan arrived, he immediately came forward to greet him respectfully.

“Young Master Lu, your visit today truly graces our humble abode.

Please, come in first,”

Huang Tiankang invited Lu Chuan and the two others into his room.

Behind a screen, at a table, the four of them sat down.

Huang Tiankang personally poured tea for Lu Chuan and asked with a smile, “Young Master Lu, what brings you to visit today?”

“A major event has occurred outside the city.

You all should know about it—the flood dragon burst from the lake’s surface, flipping over a large ship from the Su family.”

“Many witnesses saw it.

For you, the City Lord, this is an extremely important matter!”

“You must be planning to deal with it, right?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Huang Tiankang nodded seriously, “Of course, I’ll handle such a matter.

This could endanger the entire city’s populace.

As the City Lord, I must deal with it.

Otherwise, my credibility in the hearts of the people will take a serious hit.”

“So rest assured, leave this matter to me.

I will take care of it, there will be no problems!”

“That mere flood dragon, I will surely lead the troops to slay it!”

Lu Chuan continued, “That creature, is nearly twenty meters long, covered in black scales, with sharp teeth and a violent temperament.

If you are going to deal with this fellow, you must be extremely careful.”

“Hahahaha!

Rest assured, our City Guards will definitely eliminate that thing this time.

You don’t need to worry; leave the matter to us, we will certainly handle it!”

“When do you plan to set out?” Lu Chuan asked.

“How about now?

I was already preparing to muster the troops to leave soon, but since you have just arrived, I thought I’d spend some time chatting with you.”

“Let’s go now, shall we?”

He said, laughing, his smile full of confidence.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Alright then, let’s set out to exterminate that flood dragon.”

Lu Chuan got up, ready to depart together.

After that, Huang Tiankang began preparing his own troops, dispatching the most elite soldiers.

Leading five hundred men, they set out, readied their crossbows, and took enough Magic Artifacts, all set to leave.

The convoy departed on horseback, led by Huang Tiankang and Lu Chuan at the front.

As the troops crossed through Cloud Sea City’s main streets, the surrounding citizens saw them and started discussing fervently.

“Isn’t that the City Guards?

What are they marching out for in such a grand manner?”

“These are all elite troops.

Could it be that mountain bandits have come attacking?”

“How could that be possible?

There have hardly ever been mountain bandits near Cloud Sea City, there must be some other reason!”

“I think it’s probably to hunt down the flood dragon!”

“I really guess so, they must definitely be setting out to hunt the flood dragon!”

“Lord Huang is a rather pragmatic City Lord indeed.

A Demon Beast has appeared in the nearby Cloud Sea Lake, and now he’s immediately moving out to deal with it!”

“Ah, I hope they get rid of it soon; I still want to go out fishing.”

Amid the chatter of the crowd, the troop reached the city gates.

But just then, another troop clad in silver-white light armor also approached.

Leading them was none other than the Su family’s very own Su Jingqian.

“Lu Chuan?”

Seeing Lu Chuan, Su Jingqian asked curiously.

“Why are you here?”

Moving closer, Huang Tiankang asked Su Jingqian, “Su Family Patriarch, what is this…?”

“A Demon Beast from the lake capsized one of our Su family’s large ships.

We must seek revenge!”

Su Jingqian said firmly, and he clenched his fists.

Huang Tiankang immediately laughed.

“That’s excellent, our two sides joining forces, that so-called flood dragon will definitely not be our match!”

He said, extremely excited.

Having gained a strong ally, his confidence was bolstered even further.

“Just right!

Let’s set out together, that flood dragon is destined to be ours!”

And so, both parties led their troops out of the city, heading towards Cloud Sea Lake.

Lu Chuan followed alongside the troops, soon getting a view of the lake.

The lake, unprecedentedly unoccupied, not a single boat in sight.

“Hm, almost no one is out here, scared off from coming out.

Fishing and hunting are an indispensable part of life in Cloud Sea City,”

“There are families here with generations relying on fishing for a living.

I can’t just watch such a vast lake go without hunting; this isn’t good for the people in the city,”

Huang Tiankang said, as he turned to look at Su Jingqian.

“Brother, now let us join forces and together slay the flood dragon.”

However, Su Jingqian, with arms crossed at his chest, proudly said, “I think, our Su family can handle this creature.”

“Moreover, it is our Su family’s nemesis, having killed important members of our clan.

So, isn’t it better that we take action?”

Huang Tiankang’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Su Jingqian, don’t tell me you’re saying this just to claim the corpse for yourself?”

“The body of the flood dragon is entirely a treasure, not to mention, now with life in the lake rich in Spiritual Energy, the dragon’s flesh will likely be very nourishing.”

“How could I, Huang Tiankang, not take part in this?

How could that be?”

“Lord Huang, if that’s the case, how shall we fight?

Taking turns is hardly fair, and if we both fight together, we’ll both want to swallow the corpse whole.”

Falling into thought, Huang Tiankang said, “How about this, we split it equally, divide the body right down the middle, what do you say?”

“You had best agree, after all, I am at a disadvantage here; I brought more men and have invested more resources.

What do you think?”

After pondering for a moment, Su Jingqian nodded, “No problem, I agree with you.

In that case, let’s split it that way.”

“We’ll divide it equally.

Then, when the flood dragon appears, we’ll attack together, no one may retreat or shrink back!”

After finishing, Su Jingqian turned to look at the lake.

“Now, we first need to lure that thing out!”

Huang Tiankang quickly said, “I have a way; I’ve already sent out a bait ship.

Very soon, the flood dragon will bite, and at the instant it swallows the bait ship, it will be our moment to strike!”

Su Jingqian turned to him and asked, “Since it’s a bait ship, what bait did you use?

Pork?

Or something like chicken or duck?”

“Of course, it had to be people, the flood dragon has spirit wisdom; without humans, how could we lure it out?”
