Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1095: Chapter 1093: Dragon Summit Inn (17)

“So that’s how it is!”

Facing Tieer’s statement, Fu Qian turned back and glanced at the thinning golden rain, his face showing a sudden realization.

“I was wondering why I got obsessed and stared at that reflection.”

…With a mind already muddled, can we please not blame it on the rain?

Nora, feeling the stiffness of her facial muscles, couldn’t help but silently mock in her mind.

Did you think we were blind and didn’t see your crazy antics while you were taking shelter from the rain just now?

Even carrying an Anchor, to be able to move to that extent, if Gerard saw it, he’d probably die of fright on the spot.

Of course, considering the level of danger the other party posed, she ultimately chose not to voice out her thoughts and instead lowered her head to carefully open the metal box, forcing herself to focus and shift her attention.

Haha…

Old Master Tieer really does carry the demeanor of a great general; after listening attentively, he simply chuckled with a “haha”.

“Mr. Lu’s methods are truly an eye-opener for us. Some things that we regard as taboo seem to be mere games in your eyes.”

“But having received such a valuable gift, if Mr. Lu has any questions, please feel free to ask. We will tell you all we know.”

It was scary when we first discovered him that’s for sure.

Originally acting frenziedly is one thing, but who would have thought that under the restraint of an Anchor, Mr. Lu could actually travel such a distance, and if you calculate it, not at a slow speed either.

Of course, this shock, after watching the other party’s leisurely stroll through the rain, had completely turned into numbness.

By then, Tieer realized that Mr. Lu was far beyond what they could speculate or fathom. If there was no way of evading, the best course would be to comply with every one of his demands.

…

Understanding that their value lies only in certain pieces of information, dealing with smart people really saves trouble.

Facing Tieer’s sincere speech, Fu Qian did not hold back his admiration.

“So the thing above us outside, does it appear every time?”

“Not always. Last time we had a similar situation, an Ancient Dragon appeared later on.”

Old Master Tieer replied quickly and even pointed towards the sky.

“It emerged from there.”

Right.

“When the Giant Dragon appears, can everyone within the blessing see it?”

“From experience, it seems to be most areas. It appears to be in a very special state. However, the dragon is very good at hiding and its aggressiveness is not very strong, so very few people can actually face it directly.”

“Of course, thus far, no one who has faced it directly has survived.”

“Got it, what sort of deaths?”

Old Master Tieer provided detailed information, and Fu Qian, satisfied, thought of another question.

“Decapitated, just like those who die at the hands of the Soul Butterfly.”

This time it was the craftsman who gestured across his neck.

“Have you encountered any other people after you came in?”

“No, this place is vast and its structure is chaotic. Even if you enter at the same location, you may end up in different places, so it’s not easy to run into others. Of course, we also don’t want to, we’re quite aware of our own limits.”

“The best outcome would be to explore and gain some findings, then hide in a relatively safe place and wait for the blessing to end.”

Tieer even shared their team’s strategic direction.

“Sounds like you can’t leave before the blessing ends?”

Fu Qian quickly extracted another conclusion.

“That’s also a manifestation of the chaotic space.”

Tieer affirmed his guess.

“Some have tried it. The moment you enter the blessing, even if you turn around and go back the way you came, it’s nearly impossible to get out again. The only reliable way to leave is to wait for it to end.”

“Very good, thank you very much for sharing. I wish you can find a perfect hiding spot.”

Finally, Fu Qian concluded the inquiry and gave a genuinely modest blessing.

After carefully discerning the sincerity in his words, the trio of Tieer also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment, they were truly scared that Mr. Lu would send them off with something like “I wish you a smooth journey to the Netherworld.”

“No need for thanks, this bit of information can be gathered with a little effort, and its value is far less than what we have gained. I wish Mr. Lu also achieves his objectives on this trip.”

The exchange of interests ended so efficiently and favorably, Old Master Tieer was happy while also admitting that they got the better end of the deal.

“The rain outside has now stopped, we’ll explore a bit more and then attempt to find a safe hiding spot.”

He said it while pointing outside, the golden rain indeed had stopped completely, silently, just like when it began.

Of course, the river above their heads showed no sign of disappearing.

“Please, go ahead.”

Fu Qian made a gesture, indicating that the greedy Hunters could tend to their own affairs.

However, the next moment as Ms. Nora passed by in front of him, he frowned.

“Wait a minute.”

“…Does Mr. Lu have something else?”

Suddenly on edge, the trio was visibly nervous, but still didn’t take off running.

“When the Ancient Dragon appears, are there any particular signs?”

Fu Qian looked at them thoughtfully.

“The Ancient Dragon doesn’t appear often, and with no survivors who have personally encountered it, there’s no clear conclusion yet…”

Seeing that the other party had just thought of new questions and wasn’t suddenly murderous, Tieer breathed a sigh of relief while his thoughts ran at 120%.

“However, there is a relatively recognized pattern, which is that the probability of Soul Butterflies appearing is higher near the locations where it manifests.”

“I see…”

Amidst the trio’s tense gaze, Fu Qian didn’t immediately show whether he was satisfied with the answer or not.

“Then it seems you’ll need to pick up the pace in leaving this place.”

As the three pondered the meaning of his words, they saw Mr. Lu, in their field of vision, take a step forward, reaching out two fingers again.

This is…

In the next moment, seeing the object Fu Qian handed over, Nora was completely stunned.

Flawless, a perfectly geometric-shaped Soul Butterfly taking shape at high speed – another Soul Butterfly indeed.

And from his demeanor, it was clear he was offering it to them again.

“You have no intention of joining the commotion, right?”

“No, thank you for the warning. We’ll now make sure to stay as far away from here as possible.”

As the team’s brains, Old Master Tieer was the first to react, promptly signaling Nora to take the second Soul Butterfly.

With two consecutive Soul Butterflies appearing, coupled with the anomalies in the sky, unless they wanted to confront the Ancient Dragon, the risk of staying in the vicinity was too high.

And the three of them were clearly aware of their limitations, not venturing after targets beyond their abilities.

“If you need me later, feel free to look for me.”

After leaving these words behind, Tieer quickly ushered his teammates away in a hurry.

And out of the corner of his eye, the mysterious Mr. Lu was seen walking in the opposite direction towards the depths of the great hall, taking a seat on the large and majestic chair in the center.
