Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 283

The road to the throat of the world is rugged, for it offers no warnings, no indication of the direction in which dust settles.

However, Luo Chen discovered that there were always some small animals that could escape the snowy weather. Luo Chen lowered his head and walked straight ahead.

Then, a reindeer spotted Luo Chen and became impatient. It rushed into the snow and ice. Luo Chen knew that this was his best guiding light. If he missed this little reindeer, he didn't know how much time he would waste in this place.

Doing whatever comes to mind seems to be a wonderful quality of Luo Chen. Luo Chen dodged the stone in front of him and used the power of the wind in the dragon's roar to rush directly into the wind and snow.

Even so, the swirling snow and ice caused his face to crack, which was unbearable for Luo Chen. So he closed his eyes and shouted "Jing Tian!" again. The terrible weather seemed to move away from him.

He thought he could finally catch his breath, but unexpectedly, a loud roar came from beside him. Luo Chen turned his head and saw that his body seemed to have been hit hard.

Luo Chen was sent flying backward, crashing directly into a large rock behind him.

Fortunately, the Cleansing Sky technique was used to conceal the terrible weather; otherwise, this time they would have certainly died.

Luo Chen closed his eyes and used his body to sense the changes in the surrounding airflow. He heard something rapidly approaching him. Once it came, it wouldn't be able to leave.

Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time quickly drew the Heaven-Destroying Sword from behind his back. With a single strike, the thing hidden in the ice and snow let out a violent cry.

The sound was somewhat like the breath of a snake, or like a cat in heat.

Luo Chen took two steps back, and sure enough, right after he stepped back, the extremely fast sound of wind breaking through the air rang in his ears again.

This time, Luo Chen was lucky to escape unscathed, but what about next time? Damn it, how come he can't see these things with his naked eye?

Right, if I can't see him, does that mean he can see me?

With this question in mind, Luo Chen tried to block out his breathing. Sure enough, after Luo Chen stopped breathing, the thing began to wander around, as if it wanted to find Luo Chen.

Luo Chen covered his mouth and walked step by step towards a certain place outside. Finally, the thing disappeared in front of Luo Chen.

Just as Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he heard sounds coming from all directions. "Damn it!" Luo Chen jumped up, cursing under his breath, and swung the Heaven-Destroying Sword in all directions. Instantly, streaks of blue flames, as if from the netherworld, ignited in front of Luo Chen. Floating in the void, Luo Chen thought that these things should be gone by now.

Even though Luo Chen could float in the void, this place was far too high for him. It was probably the highest mountain in the world. In the end, Luo Chen returned to the ground.

Even in such a cold place, he still wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Just then, the deer footprints on the ground appeared in front of Luo Chen. It was truly a case of trying to plant willows with good intentions but ending up with nothing but a patch of green!

Luo Chen tidied up everything. Apart from some ashes, there was almost nothing else on the ground. At the same time, Luo Chen quickly walked towards the place in front of him. It was a place without a road and very shaky. Luo Chen was able to walk up with difficulty by relying on the hand bones of a giant.

Just as Luo Chen was about to reach the top of the mountain, he heard a man's voice coming from the surrounding area.

"Dragonborn, show me your strength! Appear before me in the manner befitting a dragonborn. If you cannot, then continuing on is a waste of time!"

Luo Chen sneered, then roared and rapidly moved his entire body up the mountain.

Chapter 222 Patunaks

The power of the wind carries speed and terrifying offensive capabilities.

The previous mountain peak naturally wouldn't need to be used for attack, but the speed at which the falling dust flew away was even faster than the light beside it.

A man's voice came from the mountaintop.

"Excellent, my dear Dragonborn, you have shown me what a true dragon roar is!"

Luo Chen looked around, but it was completely quiet, and there was nothing there.

Who are you? Where are you?

"Dragonborn, my name is Patunaks. Welcome to this most real world."

The sound came from above Luo Chen's head. Luo Chen looked up and saw an enormous wing appear in front of him, which surprised him.

"Is this the legendary leader of the Greybeards?"

Ironically, the Greybeard who serves the Dragonborn is actually served by a dragon!

"Pathunax, what is the reason you summoned me?"

The dragon eventually landed on the high platform above, where some words were carved that Luo Chen couldn't understand but felt very familiar.

"what is this?"

Luo Chen asked curiously, "Since it was able to summon me, surely Patunaks isn't trying to kill me, is it?"

As Luo Chen thought to himself, Patunaks stared into Luo Chen's eyes, as if there was something about Luo Chen that he could not see through.

"This is the legendary Dragon Language Wall, dear Dragonborn. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Patunaks, and your enemy is Alduin, who came to destroy this world. You are the only one who can save this world. Perhaps many people do not understand the function of the Dragon Language Wall. This is not their fault. Many of them do not have the ability to accept this power, nor do they have the status to do so!"

Luo Chen seemed to understand that these dragon languages ​​represented some mysterious power, and to obtain these powers, one must have the ability to read dragon languages.

"But I don't understand it either!"

Luo Chen's words made the dragon, who could speak human language, suddenly laugh.

“Dear Dragonborn, I think you’ve misunderstood. Sometimes, just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean you can’t say it, right? Come forward and try it; it’s all quite amazing!”

After speaking, Patunaks pushed Luo Chen in front of the Dragon Language Wall. Luo Chen stared at the wall, his eyes starting to roll back. He was in a daze, but at the same time, the feeling of countless people speaking in his ears surged back into his ears once again.

Luo Chen followed along with those whispered words, repeating their words once, twice, three times.

Knowing that he could say every word exactly like those people, even down to the tone, Luo Chen returned to reality once again.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, looked at the giant dragon in front of him, and let out a long breath.

"Truly wondrous, my dragonborn. Next, you must retrieve the Elder Scrolls. Only then can you open the Gate of Life and Death and journey to another world, where the power to destroy Ulduar lies!"

Luo Chen nodded, but he had no idea what the Elder Scrolls were or where to find them. Patunaks seemed to have already guessed that Luo Chen didn't know the whereabouts of the Elder Scrolls.

"Which place is known as the Land of Knowledge in Skyrim?"

Patunaks seemed to want Luo Chen to understand this on his own, and he was reminding Luo Chen of this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

Luo Chen nodded: "Winterhold, right?"

Just as I had guessed.

“That’s right. Before that place was eroded by wind and snow, it was the homeland of mankind. Now you must return to that place, explore the truth of the matter, and bring the scroll with mysterious power here. I will guide you and help you find the source of the power.”

After saying this, Patunaks flew into the void, his home seemingly atop the mountain peak.

"A dragon that forever dwells at the pinnacle of humanity, how interesting," Luo Chen thought to himself as he headed down the mountain. After dealing with the bodyless serpents, the return journey was much easier than the ascent.

Greybeard had been waiting there for a long time. When Luo Chen asked them if they knew that their leader was a dragon, the four old men feigned surprise. In fact, they didn't need to pretend; Luo Chen knew that they knew. They just hadn't told everyone the truth because people were afraid to know the truth, afraid to know that there was a dragon in their world.

In Luo Chen's heart, there was no question of regret. He walked down from the place that belonged to the gray beards. It was very strange that these gray beards seemed to intend to spend their lives here and had no intention of going into the ordinary human world.

According to them, the outside world is too dangerous and no longer suitable for these old folks. However, these four old guys had used a trick on Luo Chen in this matter. Since it was exactly as they had planned, Luo Chen came out.

Nigal saw Luo Chen and stood up excitedly. Fortunately, her armor was quite thick. It turned out that Luo Chen hadn't sensed the passage of time, but in reality, two days had already passed.

Fortunately, when Luo Chen left, Greybeard handed him the snow elf's skin, saying that it had a warming function. Regardless of whether the function was real or not, as long as it could be used, it was a good thing.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen draped the blanket over Nigal's body. Nigal seemed to be moved by Luo Chen, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Luo Chen wanted to wipe away her tears, but he didn't know how to do it. The two of them stood there awkwardly, when luckily the howling of wolves came from afar.

"This place isn't safe right now. Why don't we go down the mountain first and then talk?"

Nigal nodded. Just as the two reached the halfway point of the mountain, a sudden blizzard swept through the sky. Luo Chen pulled Nigal behind him and took a step forward, letting go of his hands and shouting loudly.

The snowy night vanished without a trace, but at the same time, something even more terrifying appeared before the two: an enormous bird—or rather, a dragon...

Chapter 223 Gears of Fate

The dragon didn't utter a sound before flying directly down in front of Luo Chen, seemingly as a provocation.

Or perhaps, this dragon was targeting Luo Chen from the very beginning.

Luo Chen's eyes were almost slits as he stared directly at the giant dragon in front of him.

After a sigh, Luo Chen took the Heaven-Destroying Sword into his hand and faced the giant dragon in front of him. The dragon was fierce, but Luo Chen was even fiercer. When the giant dragon saw Luo Chen, it gasped and seemed to want to unleash something.

Luo Chen quickly pulled Nigal into his arms and rolled him to the side. They didn't roll far before crashing into a tree. Luo Chen gently placed Nigal under the tree and covered his body with his clothes.

Just as the two were rolling, a fierce flame had already spewed towards them. Fortunately, Luo Chen's body was strong enough that he was not harmed by the flame.

All Luo Chen saw was that his back was covered in scars from the stinky dragon for no reason, especially his back. Although he couldn't see them, he could tell from the fact that his back was still hot to the touch that he had just experienced some kind of treatment.

You shouldn't have offended me like that!

The dragon seemed to have its own intentions. Although it knew that Luo Chen was angry, it still showed its disdain!

"You're just a mere human being, yet you dare to be so arrogant. Fine, I'll take your corpse back with me today, so you'll know what it feels like to be reduced to ashes."

It's as if someone said this to Luo Chen a long time ago, so there's no need for this mere little dragon to remind Luo Chen once again what kind of thing it is.

"In that case, why don't you give it a try!"

After he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and the dragon lost its balance and fell to the ground. Luo Chen looked at the Heaven-Destroying Sword in his hand. He originally thought it was just a rusty longsword, but he did not expect that as long as his strength increased, he would be able to exert such power.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen reappeared behind the dragon. Luo Chen's attack just now almost broke the dragon's scales. Fortunately, he himself was also a dragon and held a considerable position in the dragon race.

It's worth mentioning here that dragons are ranked according to their strength; that is to say, the more powerful a dragon you are, the higher your status will naturally be.

The dragon seemed enraged and stood up, using its long tail to coil around Luo Chen and pull him onto its head. Luo Chen was genuinely worried about how to deal with it, but unexpectedly, the dragon delivered itself right to his doorstep. Luo Chen brandished his longsword and thrust it into the dragon's tail.

The creature screamed in pain, and then Luo Chen swiftly stabbed at its eye, slashing his sword and gouging out the eyeball.

It was then thrown to the ground, and Luo Chen stepped on the eyeball.

It seemed that the dragon could still sense its own eyeball, and it rolled on the ground, writhing and roaring.

Luo Chen walked up to it step by step: "Speak, who sent you?"

The red dragon slightly opened its mouth, seemingly mocking Luo Chen, but Luo Chen ignored it. Instead, he raised the Heaven-Destroying Sword high in the sky and then sealed its throat with a single strike.

A golden light rushed towards Luo Chen's body. Luo Chen closed his eyes tightly, and a dragon soul was completely absorbed by him. However, Luo Chen did not unlock it immediately because he knew that he needed to know the dragon language and combine it with the dragon soul to obtain a new dragon roar. This was taught to him by Patunax.

Luo Chen didn't turn around because he knew that the dragon would slowly turn into a wisp of green smoke. Just then, Ganier woke up. In her dazed state, she seemed to see Luo Chen. She thought she was dead. After opening her eyes, she rubbed them hard.

Well, there were no problems at all. Why did this happen? It's all so unbelievable.

"Luo Chen, just now, you...you...did you kill a dragon?"

Luo Chen is a humble person, there is no doubt about that. However, humility does not mean that Luo Chen will not show off. Showing off is a compulsory course in life. No matter who you are, you will use this skill one day.

Luo Chen smiled politely and hoisted Nigal onto his back. Nigal only felt the warmth from Luo Chen's back, but she never considered that this might be a conspiracy, a conspiracy by Luo Chen to deal with Balguf.

After Luo Chen and the others reached the foot of the mountain, they found a wooden hut that had been uninhabited for a long time. They placed Nigar on the bed and then took out two bottles.

"Drink them all; it will be good for your body!"

In fact, Luo Chen did not deceive him. Sometimes he doubted whether he was still himself, and why he could do such a thing. But in the past, he seemed to enjoy being like this.

This is truly incredible. After thinking it over, Luo Chen turned around. When Nigar saw that Luo Chen had turned around, he happily drank all the medicine that had just been given to him.

After drinking the second small bottle of medicine, for some reason, Nigal felt a slight dizziness, as if something had been forcibly stuffed into his head.

Luo Chen let out a long breath and turned his head away.

Let's go to Winterhold together!

Originally, Nigal stayed by Luo Chen's side not primarily to protect him, but to monitor him and obtain a way to eliminate the dragon. However, why did Luo Chen know all his thoughts so clearly? Could it be that he has the ability to see through people's minds?

No way! How could such a ridiculous spell exist in this world? You must be overthinking it.

Luo Chen smiled calmly: "Can we go now?"

But Nigal forgot one thing: perhaps she didn't even know that Luo Chen wasn't originally from this world.

Chapter 224 Difficulty

Luo Chen had already mixed Nigar with his demon king blood, but since Luo Chen had not yet given her any orders, Nigar herself could not detect it.

But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Luo Chen simply carried her on his back and walked towards Winterhold.

After what seemed like several days, the two finally arrived at the gates of Winterhold.

However, the guards here were different from those in other places. As soon as Luo Chen and his group arrived, they were stopped by a man.

"Halt! Who are you? This is Winterhold!"

Looking at the two men's tattered clothes, the guards seemed to look down on Luo Chen.

"We're all citizens of the Empire, please make an exception!"

Luo Chen carried Nigal on his back, his tone calm, not like he was begging someone.

"Want to get in? It's not impossible. Over the years, countless people have come here hoping to study at the College of Winterhold. But look at you, you don't look like wizards at all!"

Nigar also woke up at this time and jumped down from behind Luo Chen. Although her armor looked a bit tattered in the battle, it was still a dignity she deserved.

"I am the master of Dragonroar Palace and a guard under Lord Balguff. I am here on official business. Please make way!"

Upon hearing this, the two guards couldn't help but burst into laughter.
