Chapter 1188, New Reinforcements

Translator: Silavin

 

Lu Fan smiled faintly and said, “Actually, I have enlisted a few reinforcements for this expedition. I have been inactive for this period of time partly to let us rest, and partly to wait for these reinforcements to free themselves up so that they may accompany us on this journey.”

 

“Reinforcements!?” Ouyang Bai Ge was puzzled. After a moment’s thought she said, “Are you referring to Jin Zhan?”

 

“Jin Zhan is the Dragon Country’s strongest General, and has also become the Darkness Ancient God. He truly makes for excellent reinforcements. With his capabilities, his current mastery over his Ancient God Power, he should be even stronger than Ye Wuxian and the other girls combined. If he is able to accompany us against the Desolate Ancient God, our odds of success should indeed be greater.” Lu Fan smiled and shook his head. “But Teacher Ouyang, you have misunderstood me. The reinforcements I speak of is not Jin Zhan.”

 

“Jin Zhan holds a position of great importance and must currently defend the northern border against the Monsters created by the Fallen Corpse Ancient God. He has to prevent them from breaking deeper into Dragon Country. So, in the short term, he will be unable to leave his station.”

 

“Oh? If it is not Jin Zhan, then who are these reinforcements of yours?” Ouyang Bai Ge was now at a loss.

 

Almost as soon as her words fell, a howling gale came sweeping in from the distance and arrived at the two of them in an instant.

 

The arrivals were none other than the Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon.

 

The Flame Dragon was direct by nature. Upon landing, he said with casual ease, “Little Lu, we have basically finished with all the odds and ends here. Over the past few days, we have stored up more than enough food to keep the little ones fed for a good while, enough to last until we return.”

 

The Two Headed Dragon smiled and said, “Even if it runs short, our Younger Sister, Kefir, can help catch more and feed the little ones. Besides, they are already grown. They ought to be going out and hunting for themselves.”

 

“The Monsters on this Shadow Isle may not be particularly appetising, but they should do well enough to fill their stomach. Even if we truly cannot return, they should be able to grow up without difficulty.”

 

“You jinx!” The Flame Dragon’s tone carried a trace of displeasure as he shot the Two Headed Dragon a glare. “It’s nothing more than some, some Ancient God or other. We’ll eat it when this is over and find out what an Ancient God actually tastes like. Besides, back in the day, quite a few of our Brothers and Sisters died at its hands. I have long been meaning to settle that score with it properly!”

 

Ouyang Bai Ge understood completely by now. She looked towards Lu Fan and said, “The reinforcements you spoke of are these two Giant Dragons?”

 

Lu Fan nodded and said, “Yup. After the last battle with the Slaughter Ancient God, I felt that my own power was constrained by the number of Dragons I had. The more Dragons I have, the more powerful the Fury of All Dragons I can unleash.”

 

“So I thought it over and decided that this time, in going to hunt the Desolate Ancient God, I absolutely must bring a few more Dragons. Unfortunately, I am limited by my own capabilities and can only keep this many Pet Dragons I have. So, I put it to the Life Dragon King, asking whether I might borrow two Dragons from her.”

 

“As it turned out, the Life Dragon King agreed readily upon hearing this and had these two accompany me to the Dragon Domain to deal with the Desolate Ancient God. These two are both fully grown Giant Dragons. Their power goes without saying. At the same time, they can serve as fusion material for Fury of All Dragons, making my Fury of All Dragons even stronger.”

 

“When dealing with the Slaughter Ancient God previously, had these two been present, my Fury of All Dragons ought to have been able to kill the Slaughter Ancient God. Where would all these subsequent grievances have come from?”

 

Ouyang Bai Ge considered this, then nodded. “En, these two are indeed extremely useful, even more useful than having Jin Zhan come along. With the two of them, I can feel somewhat more at ease about this expedition.”

 

With that, she looked towards the Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon and said, “The two of you may also rest assured. On this journey to the Dragon Domain, you absolutely will not be in any danger to your lives. Should anything truly dangerous arise, I will make sure I transport every last one of you safely away.”

 

“Is that so? *Ha ha ha!*” The Flame Dragon burst out laughing heartily upon hearing this. “With those words from you, old lady, I feel at ease.”

 

*Thud!* The Two Headed Dragon gave the Flame Dragon a smack on the head and said coldly, “She is our guest. Show some courtesy.”

 

“Hah? Was I discourteous?” The Flame Dragon was dazed from the blow, rubbing his head, unable to figure out what he had said wrong.

 

The Two Headed Dragon said with barely concealed exasperation, “Calling someone an old lady, is that courteous? In the Human tongue, that is not a compliment!”

 

“Is that so!?” The Flame Dragon heard this and immediately began apologising profusely to Ouyang Bai Ge. “I am sorry, I had no idea that in the Human tongue, those words would carry some measure of disrespect.”

 

Ouyang Bai Ge was not in the least bit angry. On the contrary, the two of them had made her laugh.

 

She waved her hand and said, “Never mind, I am not an actual Human in any case, and I shall not concern myself with such minor particulars.”

 

At this point Lu Fan also spoke up. “Right then, let us stop joking around and wasting time. The two of you, why not sign a contract with me first and establish a contractual bond? Once the contract is signed, our Skills will be interconnected, which will be a great boost to us all.”

 

“En, that sounds good.” The Two Headed Dragon nodded, and then he and the Flame Dragon signed a contract with Lu Fan together.

 

The contract between the Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon and Lu Fan was also different from the one Xiao Ye had had with Lu Fan, being instead similar to the type that the Devouring Dragon King had signed with him.

 

Under this type of contract, both parties retained relative freedom. The Two Headed Dragon and his companion could dissolve the contract with Lu Fan at any time, and conversely Lu Fan could do likewise.

 

This did not particularly surprise Lu Fan.

 

After all, although his relationship with the Giant Dragons under the Life Dragon King was quite good, the idea of signing a Master-Servant Contract was simply out of the question.

 

Giant Dragons had always been proud by nature. The fact that they were willing to establish any sort of relationship with him at all was already no small thing. A Master-Servant Contract was purely wishful thinking.

 

Aside from Xiao Ye, who had been gifted by the System and had grown up alongside Lu Fan from a young age, what other Giant Dragon would willingly place itself a rung below another?

 

Regardless, even an equal contract of this kind was sufficient to allow Lu Fan’s Skills to take effect on them.

 

With two more Giant Dragons becoming Lu Fan’s Pet Dragons, the Skill effect of Dragon Bloodline also activated, distributing the Attributes of both Giant Dragons to Lu Fan and raising his Attributes by yet another considerable margin.

Let’s just treat any contractual Dragon as a ‘Pet Dragon’
