Noon.
The sound of cannon salutes in the city rose and fell, showing no signs of stopping.
In fact, according to the rules, the cannon salutes had to last a day and a night for a royal engagement ceremony like this.
In a warehouse in one of the Hainey family's estates, a young boy was curled up on a wooden bed covered with a layer of straw.
Arondi's body was trembling slightly, but it was not because of the wounds on his body. Although they were painful, he was already used to it and was numb to it.
A strange aura was flowing in his body, causing the young boy to tremble uncontrollably.
Arondi tried his best to control the aura according to what Teacher Cat had taught him. He did not know what the aura represented.
However, he would not question what Teacher Cat had taught him.
A few days ago, the aura had been very weak. Now that he had awakened, it had grown dozens of times stronger.
Closing his eyes, Arondi's mind reflected the condition of his body. The aura was as thick as a thumb and it was flowing in his body.
Every time it moved, his body would feel a sharp pain, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
"Is this the feeling of becoming stronger …"
Arondi muttered to himself. He could feel that the aura was very powerful, but he did not know how to use it.
Perhaps when the aura was strong enough, Teacher Cat would teach him how to use it, and he would be able to escape from his current predicament.
At that moment, the wooden door suddenly opened and a figure darted in. It was a young man.
This was Adolf's son, Bilder.
Looking at Arondi lying on the bed, Bilder's eyes flashed with ferocity. He quickly walked forward and kicked the young boy off the bed.
Bang!
The young boy rolled on the ground a few times and hit the corner of the wall. He looked up at Bilder, the young man who was related to him by blood.
"Bilder, what are you doing?" Arondi asked weakly as he held the spot where he had been kicked.
"What am I doing?!"
Bilder laughed. His face was cold, but his eyes were even more ferocious. "Father brought back such a toy and only cared about playing with it. Since Father is attending the royal engagement ceremony today, of course I have to toy with you. Arondi, don't worry. I'm not as violent as Father. I've always been very gentle … "
As he spoke, Bilder moved his arm and a whip covered in barbs appeared in his right hand.
Seeing this, Arondi's eyes narrowed. He stared at the whip and then at Bilder. His gaze suddenly turned dark.
That trashy father and son duo, Adolf?!
Smack … The whip struck his body and left a bloody scar on his flesh. For some reason, an indescribable emotion welled up in Arlong's chest.
It was a very strong emotion. It was hard to tell if it was anger or resentment …
From a very young age, Arlong Di discovered that his emotions were very indifferent. He didn't have much love, nor did he have much resentment.
Even when his parents treated him that way, Arlong Di blamed himself more. If he wasn't such a monster, perhaps he would be like other children, loved by his parents.
This was an emotion he had always felt when he was a child. As for other emotions, there weren't many …
After coming here, because of Adolf's mistreatment, Arons resented this family member and only wanted to escape.
However, most of the time, Arlong Di still blamed himself for the mistakes.
If he wasn't a monster, perhaps he wouldn't have been treated like this …
Towards his parents and relatives … In his young heart, he still had a trace of hope …
Until today, when Beard had appeared. Arlong Di's last shred of hope for his family had completely vanished.
"Roar …"
With a roar, the big crippled dog pounced at Beard, but the latter dodged it with a turn of his body. With a kick, the big crippled dog crashed heavily into the wall, leaving a trail of blood.
"You blind animal! You animal, do you think I don't know that you've been protecting this little animal … "
Beard sneered and rubbed his wrist. He was a first-stage second realm expert after all. It was more than enough to deal with a big crippled dog.
"Well then, Arlong Di, let's officially …"
Beard turned his head, but before he could finish, his expression changed.
The little boy was curled up in the corner of the wall. Because his back was to the light, his face couldn't be seen clearly.
At this moment, Arlong Di raised his head and stared straight at Beard. On the little boy's shriveled face, blue veins bulged around his eyes. His eyes were deep and serene, as if the whites of his eyes had disappeared.
This scene made people think of some extremely terrifying existences in the legends.
Beard was so frightened that he took two steps back. He composed himself and guessed that this illusion was caused by the light.
At the same time, anger rose in his heart. It was too embarrassing to be scared off by such a little animal.
Immediately, Beard growled and waved the whip in his hand, lashing out fiercely.
The barbed whip flew, but it didn't land on Arlong Di.
On the wall behind the little boy, a black shadow extended, wrapped around the whip, and pulled it straight with a whoosh …
Even though this scene was still in broad daylight, it was still very strange and made one's scalp go numb.
"Who … is this …"
Beard looked a little flustered, but he was used to being domineering. He still thought that someone was hiding in the dark and helping the little boy, and was about to scold him.
However, a huge force came from the other end of the whip and yanked it.
Rip …
Beard felt a pain in his hand. The long whip had already flown out and landed in the black shadow.
At this moment, the long whip fell down. Only then did Beard see clearly that it was a dark shadow holding the whip.
A ray of light shone through the dusty window, passing through the black shadow and shining directly on Arlong Di.
At this moment, Beard's expression changed abruptly. He was pale as if he had seen a ghost.
He thought of some of the things his father said when the little boy came to their house, saying that Arlong Di was a monster.
Whoosh!
The long whip spread and lashed out, landing solidly on Beard's body, drawing a long bloody line and tearing his flesh open.
"You monster …"
Beard screamed and retreated, turning around and running out of the door.
This situation was too strange, he did not dare to stay any longer …
"You … are the monster. You and your father, Adonis, you are all trash …"
The little boy stood up slowly, the veins around his eyes bulging. The shadow behind him gradually expanded, about to cover his entire body. His skin also turned black.
At this moment —
With a meow, the Blue Kitty scuttled out and slapped its paw on Beard's face, leaving a deep claw mark. The youth also fell to the ground.
"What kind of monster is this …"
Beard screamed. Before he could shout, he felt a pain in his head, as if it had been split open by a sword. Boundless fear assaulted him.
Thump …
Beard fell to the ground and fainted. His body trembled violently, and white foam kept spewing from the corner of his mouth.
A figure appeared. It was the [Phantom Bone Shadow] controlled by Hayashi River.
He rushed over with the Blue Kitty. When he saw this scene, he immediately used [Psychic Spike] and stabbed Beard's head, so that he would never wake up from the illusion for the rest of his life.
"Are you Arlong Di …"
Hayashi River spoke, but there was no response. The little boy's aura was very strange. The black shadow kept expanding, filled with a chilling aura.
"Is this a sign of awakening talent? Why do I feel that the power is a little chaotic … "Hayashi River asked Mossy Bone.
Ding!
A ray of light swept over, checking Arlong Di's condition. Mossy Bone's urgent voice sounded. "Quick! Restrain him. This little guy's condition isn't right. His talent is too strong, and he can't withstand it. Quickly restrain him. "
Arlong Di, who was in front of him, suddenly roared. The light around him dimmed, and the whole house was plunged into darkness.
Hayashi River was shocked. What he felt was not so simple. The house seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world. He could not detect any movement within a thousand meters.
However, there was nothing to panic about. He raised his hand and pointed. Psychic energy exploded slightly, forming a super small storm that rushed toward the little boy.
Instantly, the spreading black shadow stopped, and the house returned to its original state.
Arlong Di woke up and looked around blankly. When he saw the Blue Kitty, he was pleasantly surprised. "Teacher Cat, are you here to pick me up?"
"Meow …" The Blue Kitty meowed.
The next moment, the little boy felt dizzy. His body was extremely tired, and his head was dizzy. He fainted.
Hayashi River stretched out his hand, and a cloak rolled out. He wrapped the little guy in it and picked him up.
"Woo …"
In the corner, the big lame dog whimpered softly, its body twitching slightly. It was seriously injured.
"This dog …"
Hayashi River glanced at it, then looked at the Blue Kitty. The latter rushed over, took out a powerful healing potion from her mini backpack, and poured it into the big lame dog's mouth.
In a few breaths, the big lame dog's bleeding stopped, and its eyes regained their luster.
Lin Chuan picked up the dog as well and wiped away all traces around him. Then, like a phantom, he vanished from the spot.
A moment later, Hayashi River had already left the manor with the little boy and the big lame dog, heading toward the secret stronghold.
Along the way, he told Mossy Bone about Arlong Di's condition, and the latter repeatedly exclaimed that he had made a mistake.
"This little guy is not ordinary! The talent power during the awakening almost caused his body to explode. Fortunately, we arrived in time. Otherwise, such an outstanding creature with extraordinary talent would have been destroyed just like that … "
Mossy Bone clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Didn't you say that it's impossible for a hybrid descendant of a creature with talent to explode during the awakening?" Hayashi River asked.
Hayashi River knew very well about the information about creatures with talent. Only creatures with pure bloodlines could explode during the awakening because their talent power was too strong.
For example, Mossy Bone speculated that if its heart could be recovered and its bloodline was complete, it would probably meet the standards of this type of creature with talent.
Simply put, it was a genius among the creatures with talent.
As for the little boy, Arlong Di, when he saw him on the giant ship, Mossy Bone did not see that he was a descendant of a creature with talent.
Later, when he was in the manor, he found that the little boy showed signs of talent awakening.
Mossy Bone asserted that Arlong Di's talent power was not very strong.
However, he did not expect that today's situation was completely unexpected.
Mossy Bone was silent for a while before replying, "Perhaps, it's because of a mutation …"
Hayashi River's mouth twitched when he heard this. When discussing the pure bloodline of creatures with talent, he had mentioned whether it was possible for the descendants of creatures with talent to mutate and have an incomparably pure bloodline.
The artificial intelligence system even swore that it was impossible …
As expected, when it came to theoretical research, this guy had always been unreliable.
After sending Arlong Di to the secret base, Hayashi River did not have time to linger. The forces that the major forces had secretly arranged had already begun to move. He had to rush to Dragon Lake Island.
"Stay here and keep an eye on things …" Lin Chuan ordered Lan Xiaomiao.
"Meow …"
Little Kitty immediately agreed. It knew that something big was about to happen. It patted the optical computer beside it, indicating that it would send a message to its master at any time and provide assistance from the side.
…
At the same time.
On Dragon Lake Island in the middle of Davojin City's city lake.
A motorcade drove across the bridge and arrived at Dragon Lake Island.
Beep beep …
On a hover car, a circular device rose up and continuously rotated, releasing beams of light.
Moments later, the surrounding scenery began to change. The motorcade actually disappeared into thin air.
"This cloaking device is really good! It's just that the price is too expensive … "
A burly man jumped off the car and muttered in a low voice. He looked around, took out a communicator, and said in a low voice, "All units, pay attention and report the situation."
Buzz buzz …
Sounds came from the communicator from time to time. The preparations around Dragon Lake Island had been completed.
"The guards will only change shifts in three hours. No one will disturb them during this time …"
"Three hours is enough to dismantle half of the entire island …"
…
Many teams came down from the motorcade. Among them, there was no lack of powerful level five powerhouses. They looked around and inspected the situation on the island.
Moments later, the burly man waved his hand, and these people directly entered the ancient manor on the island. Looking at their well-practiced movements, it seemed that they had entered this manor countless times.
A team of mechanics in the front row held a mechanical device and quickly deciphered the manor's defense and alarm measures.
The group rushed into the building without stopping for a moment. On the wall of the kitchen at the back of the first floor, the burly man went forward and lifted a brick. There was a device inside.
The mechanics team went forward and deciphered it for five minutes before the device was opened.
The wall immediately changed. Strange patterns appeared on it. They were all patterns of the dragon race.
Then, on the floor of the kitchen, an underground tunnel silently slid open.
"Let's go … The dragon race's treasure vault is ours …"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly rushed down. Then, a series of exclamations could be heard.
This tunnel was not dim. After going down a flight of stairs, the tunnel was paved with glowing stones.
This was a type of precious stone material that was very rare in the current world.
This stone material was produced in the deep sea, which was now a restricted area that no one had set foot in.
In the past, the dragon race army was incomparably powerful. They had once conquered that area of the sea and excavated a large amount of stone material from there.
