Chapter 25: "The Rutting Period of the Megalosaurus."

Chapter 25

Looking at the word not far away, the demon worm fell into silence, "......"

Grass, it's really your house!

Shi An stops stretching and flattening the black smoke in the squeal and pokes his head over:

"What's wrong?"

Magic Worm then remembered that he didn't seem to have spoken to Shi An about that rumor about Mu Hang.

After all, it wasn't sure at the time whether this claim by the Dragon Slayer was a hush-hush, but now ......

Wraithbug looked down at the hardcover bulk at his feet, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Ah, it's basically a sure thing.

I never thought that there would be a family so obsessed with dragons that they would use valuable enchanted paper to write down such useless things.

It cleared its throat and looked to Shi An with a grave expression, "My lord, there is something I need to tell you."

Shi An was infected by the seriousness of the other party and couldn't help but sit up straight as well.

He squeezed the black smoke, "What's wrong?"

Black Smoke: "......"

Choke, choke!

Five minutes later.

Shi An asked thoughtfully, tossing the dying black smoke away:

"So, you think Mu Hang is actually a dragonslayer?"

Demon Worm nodded gruffly, "Right."

It sighed and gritted its teeth, "I originally thought that after all the fantasy species disappeared, all the human families related to fantasy species also declined, but I didn't realize that there was actually one left ...... and it was also the most troublesome dragon slayer! Sir, this Mu Hang is definitely a threat to you ......"

Shi An: "Threats?"

He cocked his head, "You think humans can threaten me?"

The magic bug is stuck.

According to common sense, the answer is absolutely no, after all, even if humans are strong, when facing a fantasy species, especially a dragon, which is the peak of the force value of the fantasy species, there is no way to fight back.

But things are different now!

Dragon slayers and dragons are destined to be enemies, and there's no way to explain destiny with logic and common sense!

But looking at the harmless young man in front of him, the devil worm finally chose to be a dog's leg without principle--

"No, no, no, of course not! No human can compare to you!"

"But," the Demon Worm asked tentatively, after a pause:

"That is, after all, a dragon slayer ah, that human ancestor is likely to have killed not on your fellow clan ah, are you not prepared to take revenge ......?"

Shi An looked questioningly at the Demon Worm in front of her, "Revenge? Why?"

Magic Worm: "Eh?"

Shi An said rightfully, "A Kindred that would be killed by humans does not deserve to live in the world itself."

Dragons as a race didn't have such a strong sense of community, they were arrogant and selfish creatures, being killed only showed that they were too weak, even if they weren't killed by humans they would still be killed by other creatures, if that was the case then it would be better to die earlier, and there would still be one less contender to loot the treasure.

Magic Worm: "......"

It really didn't expect Shi An's reaction to be so calm after realizing Mu Hang's identity.

The Demon Worm spoke cautiously, "So, then how are you going to deal with this Mu Hang instead?"

Shi An ponders for a long time and says, "Find a fancier Amber."

Magic Worm: "......"

It let out a dry syllable, "Huh?"

So you're ready to turn people into collector's items at the end of the day, huh?

It just seems to have gone from a regular collection to a premium collection ...... But that's not the point ah!

That's easy for Shi An to understand.

After all, whether Mu Hang was a dragonslayer or not, Shi An wasn't going to let him live.

Living humans are too much of a pain in the ass and very unsuitable for collecting.

And most importantly ......

Human life spans are so short, the longest they can be is like five hundred years, and for dragons it passes with a closing of the eyes.

Shi An was heartbroken at the thought of such beautiful hair and eyes becoming dull and cloudy as she aged over time.

So killing it and making it into a collection that can last forever is the perfect option!

The Demon Worm had given up on reading the brain circuits of the gargoyle.

It sighed wearily and climbed down from the thick book, "You, as long as you're happy."

Shi An's eyes fell on the tome beneath it.

...... The thought of it coming out of the mouth of black smoke is a bit disgusting yet.

Shi An twisted her head to look at the black smoke that crouched quietly to the side, trying to shrink her presence, then reached out and caught it in a handful of hands.

Black Smoke: "Eh?"

Immediately afterward, it felt its body violently crushed and pulled, and then ...... like a rag it was used to wipe the book cover.

Magic Worm crouched down with a gloating smile.

Is this what it's like when the victim isn't yourself?

Haha, that's cool.

Two minutes later, Shi An finally let go of the black smoke that was once again dying and held the book up without any mental barriers.

The black smoke was mercilessly tossed aside.

It dragged its body, which had faded by several points, sadly crawling back into the small box where it had been for tens of thousands of years.

If God gave it a second chance, it would rather never be released!

Shi An twisted the page.

Not paper, but a specially tanned magical skin that was then enchanted in a complex way to make it last.

The book is almost as old as he is, and uses a language that, while common to the human world at the time, is almost unreadable to humans today, though it is largely unreadable to Shi An.

Shi An stares at the words on it with a wistful expression.

He sat on his bed and turned a random page.

"...... number of scales on a dragon?" Shi An frowned.

What the hell.

With some impatience he turned back a few more pages and read on from halfway down the center--the

"Detailed Classification and Habits of Gargoyles"... "Gargoyle Bathing Style"... "Different Gargoyle Preferred Colors "......

The more Shi An looked at it, the more wrong it seemed.

He flipped straight to the second half of the book.

"Growth Stages of Megalosaurus" ... "How Megalosaurus Finds a Mate" ... "Aesthetic Differences in Megalosaurus" ...

Shi An: "......"

He was turning the pages of his book incredibly loudly.

The Demon Worm crouched to the side as quiet as a chicken, but still couldn't help but curiously sneak a look in Shi An's direction.

Only to see the teenager turning the pages of the book faster and faster, and his face gradually becoming worse and worse, looking as if he was on the verge of an outburst-

Shi An looked to the chapter before him and fell into silence.

"The Rutting Period of the Dragon."

"How does a gargoyle cross--"

With a loud bang, Shi An closed the book with a grimace as if she wanted to set it on fire immediately.

The Wraith shrank back silently, trying to get out of the way of Shi An's wrath.

Shi An's eyes had completely turned into crimson vertical pupils, the lines of scales faintly surfaced on his cheeks, and the tips of his ears had somehow turned a fiery red.

He was only heard to say viciously:

"Pervert!"

Magic Worm: "......" Grass, so curious.

What could be in that book!

Only to see Shi An murderous spirit looking towards the black smoke hiding at the side, saying in a single word, "This book, have you finished reading it?"

Black Smoke: "........................ "

I so wanted to say I didn't.

But after tens of thousands of years locked up in that little box, it had gotten so bored that it had practically memorized every word, even what notes were on which page and if there were any creases.

Shi An narrowed her eyes and leaned in close.

For the first time, Black Smoke felt such a strong sense of urgency - if he didn't say something, it was true that he would be killed!

In this life-and-death situation, it racked its brain and finally had a flash of insight and cried out shrilly, "That one! That one! Didn't you ask me where the spell for summoning was! It's in the last chapter! The last chapter!"

Shi An gave it a fixed look, eventually deciding to pick up the immediate concerns first.

He took a deep breath and turned the book to the last chapter according to the instructions of the black smoke.

After a brief glance, Shi An perked up.

The person who wrote the book was obviously someone who did have a bit of real talent, and there was hardly anything too wrong with the way it was written for summoning dragons, the spells and the way they were cast were accurate.

After all that long-winded nonsense before, he finally saw something useful.

If only all the later content was as useful ......

Perhaps the book could really help him regain his original form!

Shi An's eyes sparkled.

He turned the next page with anticipation--the

Nope.

Nope ？？？？

Shi An blinked sluggishly.

That's impossible!

Based on what I've just read, there's a lot the author hasn't written yet!

How can this be gone?

Shi An closes the book incredulously and looks to the back cover--

Only on the thick, ancient book cover with a dark red luster, a very small golden character was branded in an inconspicuous corner:

Up.

Shi An: "......"

I can't believe there's a next book ！！！！

He was so angry that his brain buzzed.

The Demon Worm on the side quietly probed over, "That ...... Lord, did you find any useful information?"

Shi An glared over in a bad mood, "What do you think?"

At that moment, Black Smoke carefully whispered, "Da, my lord, if this book doesn't have what you want, there's actually another book--"

Shi An: "!"

He looked over in surprise, "Really! Then you spit!"

A look of unspeakable embarrassment appeared on Black Smoke's face with its blurred features:

"That, I didn't eat ......"

Shi An: "......"

Seeing that the other party was on the verge of anger, Black Smoke said hurriedly, "Listen to my explanation! I remembered! Before I was caught and stuffed into this black box, I was in a book collection room, and at that time, there were two books like this in the room, and because of the critical situation, I only swallowed one! If it hasn't changed over the years, that book should still be in that book collection room-"

The Demon Worm was stunned:

"Eh, I think I've heard that the Mu Family has a very old library, and many of the books inside are preserved from the ancient times!"

With a click, Shi An broke the headboard.

The teenager's palms looked so white and slender, but they were hard enough to leave five deep scratches on the hard wood that they looked shocking.

The Demon Worms and Black Smoke immediately quieted down and retreated backward silently, fearing that they would be caught by Shi An in this state.

Shi An exerted another force, and the bedpost in his palm immediately turned into pieces and floated down.

He said viciously:

"Those perverts! I can't believe they wrote two books!"

--and, and it's accompanied by a picture!
