Chapter 1430: Chapter 623: The Dominant Entry of a Third Party_2

Outside the cage, two Titans dressed as prison guards passed by the corridor. They glanced at the cage as they walked by but did not stop and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Only after making sure the sound of their footsteps had faded did the White Dragon inside the cage open its eyes again, sticking close to the side and rapidly climbing to the top of the cage like a Spirit Snake.

"Boss Black, Little Huang, Little Green, is that you? Have you come to rescue me?" The White Dragon uttered a slightly childish voice, and its head peeked through the gap in the top of the cage, excitedly looking up into the pipe above.

However, what emerged from the pipe was not the three figures it had imagined, but a pitch-black bat.

The bat fluttered its wings as it descended, landing silently in front of the White Dragon’s cage, but it transformed into a Titan.

"Boss Black, Little Huang, Little Green... Does this mean that there are other members of the Dragon Clan who have infiltrated the city?"

Upon seeing the bat finally turn into a Titan, the joy on the White Dragon’s face vanished, its entire body feeling as if it were plunged into an ice cave. After a few seconds, it came to its senses and shook its head frantically: "No, there are no dragons, there’s only me in this city. It’s impossible for there to be yellow, green, or black dragons..."

"Yellow, green, and black dragons? So, does your Dragon Clan directly name its members according to their colors? Then could it be that you’re called Little White or something?" The Titan opposite asked curiously upon hearing this.

By now, the White Dragon in the cage seemed to have realized that its words were overly defensive and couldn’t deceive the other party; in fact, it had inadvertently given away the distinctive features of its companions. In that moment, its heart sank to despair, turning to an expression of rage as it glared at the Titan opposite: "Despicable! To think you deliberately disguised yourself with the scent of our Dragon Clan to deceive a dragon, that’s utterly shameless! If you have the guts, let me out for a one-on-one fight!"

"The scent of the Dragon Clan?"

In the pet shop, Mu You looked at the textual prompt within the game, somewhat perplexed.

He had wondered how this little dragon, merely an eight-star creature and far from godly, could have detected him. His disguise was flawless, even the two Titan prison guards who just passed by hadn’t noticed him. How did this juvenile dragon find him?

Now he understood, it was because of the "scent of the Dragon Clan."

Naturally, Mu You was not a member of the Dragon Clan. The only thing related to the Dragon Clan around him was the Bone Dragon.

"Could it be that after being in constant company with the Bone Dragon, I’ve acquired some scent of the Dragon Clan?" Mu You could only think of this possibility at the moment.

But, come to think of it, the giants of the city have captured a dragon, and it seems there are other dragons inside the city. Could it be that the Dragon Clan has a lair nearby?

With this thought, Mu You summoned the Lamp God to consult.

"The Dragon Clan?"

The Lamp God was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly realized something: "Oh, indeed, Dragon Valley isn’t too far from the City of Order, just a few thousand kilometers away in the Dragonscale Mountain Range..."

"The Dragon Clan is also a powerful race, but they are quite independent and seldom interact with other species. They usually do not meddle in the affairs of others unless provoked themselves.

When the survivors of the Divine Race were cornered by the Divine Beast army and battled in the City of Order, we once sought help from Dragon Valley, hoping that the Dragon Clan would send reinforcements. Unfortunately, the Dragon Clan refused. Otherwise, the Divine Race might have had a glimmer of hope back then..." said the Lamp God with evident regret.

"So they are nearby..." Mu You raised an eyebrow.

This explains the sudden appearance of so many dragons in the game.

A distance of a few thousand kilometers — that’s roughly the same as between the City of Order and Sunset City now.

It’s strange, being so close to home and yet the Bone Dragon has no clue, foolishly following him around hunting...

Mu You shook his head and returned his focus to the game.

At this moment, the imprisoned White Dragon was still furiously spewing insults at him.

He didn’t understand why the Divine Beast had captured this dragon, but this was good news for the Fool as the Fool had no conflict of interest with the Dragon Clan and were sworn enemies with the Divine Beast. If the Dragon Clan now also had a conflict with the Divine Beast, then the Fool could find a basis for an alliance with the Dragon Clan.

Mu You stroked his chin and prepared to have a proper talk with the other party.

[The White Dragon continues to curse at you, but you suddenly interrupt and tell it you are not a member of the Divine Race, but the Fool.]

["The Fool? Weren’t the Fools driven away a long time ago? Are you trying to deceive me?" The White Dragon’s eyes were full of suspicion as it stared at you, its face etched with wariness.]

The other party didn’t ask what ’Fool’ was, and they even knew the Fool had been driven away, which clearly means they must have seen the Fool’s Ancestors before.

That makes things much easier.

[You tell the White Dragon that you can’t turn back into the Fool to prove it to them because doing so would alert the Titans to your presence. But you can prove that you are friends with a Bone Dragon from Dragon Valley, who can vouch for your identity...]

[You explain the deeds of the Bone Dragon to the White Dragon...]

["Bone Dragon? Tens of thousands of years ago? Suppressed in the Star Spirit World..." The White Dragon repeated the information you provided, the skepticism on its face not only didn’t dissipate but grew stronger: "How can you prove it?"]

Looking at this text, Mu You looked up at the Medicinal Plant Gatherer: "It wants to see proof, ask the Bone Dragon if it has any tokens or passwords or something, anything that it will believe is enough."

After discovering the traces of the Titans in Sunset City earlier, Mu You had all his clones rush near Sunset City.

At this point, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had already reached the outskirts of City of Order first and converged with the Barbarians and Bone Dragon hidden in the mountains.

After a few operations in the game by the Medicinal Plant Gatherer, suddenly a piece of white bone was extracted and given to Mu You.

"The Bone Dragon took it from its own body, saying this can prove it."

Mu You’s side of the ordeal had already been explained to the Bone Dragon by the game character, and upon learning that its old home was nearby, the Bone Dragon was very excited and couldn’t bother with the pain, biting off a piece of bone from the back of its neck.

Mu You brought the bone into the game.

[You take out a piece of dragon bone to show the White Dragon.]

["This is... a contrabone?" The White Dragon murmured softly upon seeing the bone.]

[A contrabone is a bone under the dragon clan’s reverse scale and, like the reverse scale, is a part that outsiders should never touch.]

["There’s no mistake, this is the dragon’s contrabone! Moreover, it’s a freshly removed contrabone. If it was forcibly removed, there would be damage, but this one is intact..." After carefully examining the bone, the White Dragon seemed to confirm something and suddenly looked at you with a much friendlier gaze.]

[You ask the White Dragon why it is imprisoned here?]

[The White Dragon, confirming you are not an enemy and in need of your help, thus doesn’t conceal the truth: "Our four brothers heard from the elders in our clan that the Blood God Body might be hidden in this city, so we snuck over to investigate, but as soon as we entered the city, we were discovered by that mad old man with the needles. We hurriedly fled, but I was the slowest and got caught, and since then have been locked up here..."]

Mu You was stunned after reading that.

The Blood God Body is indeed in the city, but what does the Dragon Clan need the Blood God Body for? The Divine Race’s body shouldn’t be useful for the Dragon Clan...

Now he needs to gather the Blood God Body pieces, yet the Divine Beast and the Dragon Clan are also collecting them. All three forces are searching; is the Blood God Body really that desirable?

[You press the White Dragon, asking why the Dragon Clan is looking for the body of the Blood God?]

["The Blood God once made a mistake and was judged by the Divine Race, with the body split and placed around the world to endure the punishment of the scorching sun. Our Dragon Clan was once greatly favored by the Blood God. Our Clan Leader could not bear to see our benefactor suffer forever, so after the Divine Race perished, the Clan Leader has always been sending people to search the world for the body of the Blood God, hoping to free the Blood God from this torment..." the White Dragon explained.]

Mu You looked puzzled.

The Blood God once favored the Dragon Clan, so they are searching for her, intending to ’piece’ her split body back together to resurrect the Blood God – this much is understandable.

But, there is a very important question...

[You continue to probe the White Dragon, asking exactly what kind of favor the Blood God did for the Dragon Clan?]

It’s known the Blood God has been different individuals: first Lilith, then Cain.

Mu You first needs to confirm which Blood God, who had favored the Dragon Clan, they are talking about: Lilith or Cain.

If it’s Lilith, that’s good. Everyone’s objective is the same, to resurrect the Blood God, which further solidifies a basis for cooperation and is cause for celebration.

But if it’s Cain that the Dragon Clan wants to resurrect... well, that could be quite delicate...
