Fantasy: I Can Randomly Refresh My Realm

Lake CityXiao Feng sensed the fluctuation of a Formation, but this Formation posed no threat to them.

This Formation was likely intended to protect this city.

The entire city appeared normal, aside from being overly damp due to its location beneath the lake, which had caused some moss to grow.

Pushing open the city gates, Xiao Feng and the others made a quick tour of the city.

As expected, there were no traces of life here.

Clearly, this place had been abandoned for a long time, perhaps for over a thousand years.

Xiao Feng and his group bypassed the residential areas in the surroundings and headed straight toward the center of the city, soon arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord’s Mansion looked solemn and imposing.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to reach out and push the door, Long Gu, who was by his side, seemed to sense something. He quickly exchanged a glance with Red Frost, then spoke up to stop Xiao Feng: ”Wait!”

Xiao Feng’s hand nearly touched the door knocker, but upon hearing Long Gu’s voice, he turned back to look.

”Don’t go in; there is an ominous aura inside this mansion!” Long Gu said, his tone carrying a hint of apprehension.

”An ominous aura?” Xiao Feng stepped back and used his Divine Sense to feel around, but he didn’t sense anything.

However, Xiao Feng knew that Long Gu was not the type to make baseless claims.

Xiao Feng retreated from the entrance and walked back to Long Gu’s side, asking: ”Does the ominous aura you mentioned mean there is something inside? Could it be a natural predator of the Dragon Clan?”

Long Gu did not answer Xiao Feng; his gaze remained fixed on the City Lord’s Mansion, lost in thought.

Instead, Red Frost, who was standing nearby, sighed and spoke: ”If you call it a natural predator, that could be said. The Dragon Clan was once one of the most powerful races.”

”But there was a reason why we were once on the verge of extinction. Ominousness would invade the bodies of Dragons, polluting their Bloodline, and preventing Breakthroughs. Every Dragon invaded by this ominousness would eventually see their Bloodline Power continuously wither, unable to reach a higher Realm.”

”With no way to force the ominousness out of their bodies, they could only perish. The Dragon Clan suffered greatly, yet not knowing what that ominousness actually was, we could only migrate away from our ancestral lands, leaving behind only the last remnants of our Bloodline.”

Red Frost and Long Gu were Dragons born after that great catastrophe that nearly wiped out the Dragon Clan.

These were things they had heard passed down from their ancestors.

Because that thing could not be seen or touched, and had no fixed form, yet had nearly wiped out the entire Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan referred to it as ’Ominousness’.

After hearing Red Frost finish speaking, Xiao Feng fell silent.

He could conclude that the so-called treasure on the treasure map must be hidden within the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upside down, with reality and illusion indistinguishable.

This place was hidden so secretively that despite the Fengying Secret Realm having opened several times, no one had discovered it.

If there was a treasure, it had to be in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Xiao Feng hesitated; should they go in or not?

”Since there is an ominous aura inside, let’s not go in. What if there is danger...” Jin Peng said hesitantly from behind.

Although the other Vicious Beasts did not sense any ominous aura and did not know what that ’Ominousness’ was,

as fellow Yao Beasts, they did not want to get close to something that even the Dragon Clan could not avoid.

In the end, Xiao Feng hardened his heart. Long Gu had helped him a lot, and he could not drag Long Gu into danger.

Xiao Feng spoke with difficulty: ”Then we won’t go looking for it. Perhaps this treasure map is a scam. Let’s leave this place as soon as possible.”

When Long Gu heard Xiao Feng say this, he suddenly looked up at Xiao Feng, and even Han Ya turned his head to look at Xiao Feng.

”What? Even if I want the treasure, I wouldn’t risk your safety just to get it. Let’s go, let’s go!”

Xiao Feng felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Just as he turned to leave, the System in his mind suddenly spoke: ”Host, there is a treasure inside, a great Opportunity that can enhance your strength!”

As soon as the System said this, the steps Xiao Feng was about to take suddenly stopped.

Xiao Feng turned his head with a shocked expression to look deep into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Xiao Feng lowered his eyes and said softly: ”Do you all feel like something is calling out to you?”

Xiao Feng’s sudden change left everyone confused.

The three Dragons shook their heads first.

Zhao Yuwei stepped forward, worried, and took Xiao Feng’s hand.

”I can feel it; there is a great Opportunity inside. If we can obtain it, not only will it enhance our strength, but there might be other benefits as well!”

It was rare for the System to remind him like this, and Xiao Feng did not want to give up.

After saying this, Xiao Feng looked at Long Gu and said firmly: ”You all stay out. Senior Sister, you stay outside too. Since it is an Opportunity I felt, it must be connected to me. I will go in alone.”

When Long Gu heard Xiao Feng say this, he immediately frowned: ”Do you think that I would not go with you because I am worried about the ’Ominousness’ inside?”

Xiao Feng shook his head: ”I know that if I wanted to go in, you would definitely accompany me, but it is too dangerous inside. Since I know there is something inside that could harm the Dragon Clan, I will absolutely not let you take the risk.”

”And you all, although you are Vicious Beasts, you are still Yao Beasts like the Dragon Clan. Perhaps that thing will have some effect on you too. You all stay out; I will go in alone.”

After saying this, Xiao Feng prepared to push open the gates of the City Lord’s Mansion, but Zhao Yuwei hurried up at this moment.

”I want to be with you. No matter what is inside, I want to be with you. You are worried that they will be affected by the ’Ominousness’, but I am of the Human Race just like you. If you can go, I can naturally go too!”

Xiao Feng wanted to say something to persuade her otherwise.

But Zhao Yuwei directly took Xiao Feng’s hand and said seriously: ”I will not let go of your hand. If there is real danger inside that even you cannot withstand, I will not live on alone!”

Looking at Zhao Yuwei’s determined expression, Xiao Feng had no choice but to agree.

Long Gu’s conflicted gaze landed on Xiao Feng, then he looked at Red Frost.

Red Frost looked calm, as if waiting for Long Gu to make a decision.

Long Gu tapped awake the little Dragon that was coiled around his wrist sleeping.

As soon as the little Dragon opened its eyes and saw its father’s face, it instinctively wanted to go find Red Frost.

Red Frost, however, concealed her aura.

The little Dragon sniffed the air, then flew toward Xiao Feng.

”Ying ying!”

The little Dragon coiled around Xiao Feng’s neck, still making little baby noises, as if protesting that Xiao Feng was going to abandon him and act alone.

Long Gu and Red Frost immediately followed.

”It seems the little Dragon wants to go in with you. Since that’s the case, let’s go in and take a look together!”

Long Gu said readily.

Red Frost, who was following beside him, did not object.

”But...”

”There is no ’but’ about it. Perhaps I sensed it wrong; after all, I have never actually seen ’Ominousness’.”

Xiao Feng knew that Long Gu was just using the little Dragon as an excuse, and a warmth rose in his heart.

Afterward, the other Vicious Beasts also followed, all wanting to go in with Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng felt comforted in his heart, turned resolutely, and raised his hand to push open the gates.
