Dragon Tamer

Chapter 317 - 319: The Final Bad Omen



And they were coming one after another!

Some malevolent signs had not yet occurred, but with such a trend, the moment the Fiend Star Dragon truly emerged, this land would completely descend into purgatory!

The omens arrived so suddenly that even the Prophet Li Xinghua didn’t have time to prevent things from deteriorating further.

“We must find the Fiend Star Dragon, after seven major omens, it will be the celestial omen,” Li Xinghua said in a somber tone.

Major omens were already a human tragedy, let alone celestial omens, the extinction they brought was unimaginable.

From the omens obtained so far, it seemed that when the Fiend Star Dragon regained its vitality and returned to this land, it would mark the beginning of the celestial omen, affecting not just the survival of Runyu City but potentially leading to the disaster of the neighboring countries as well.

“Are there any other major evil omens?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Wars, civil unrest, plague, ice calamities, demon disasters, insect tides, meteoric fires… The first six major evil omens appeared in a very close timespan, and the last one should be the meteoric fire foretold by the Fiend Star Dragon!” Li Xinghua said.

Chao Ruijin of the Copper Knife Army, Yao Junshi, and Yu Gaojie of the Azure Wolf Cavalry found these words unbelievable when they heard them.

However, based on the accurate information they gathered, they already knew of six out of the major evil omens mentioned by Li Xinghua!

“In any case, we must find the Fiend Star Dragon,” Yao Junshi said.

Li Xinghua nodded.

The Orderer from Green Bull Mountain must have known some omens as well, which is why he was so eager to hunt down the Fiend Star Dragon.

But right now, all they had were omens, not real clues.

Where exactly was the Fiend Star Dragon hiding, whether it was among those creatures greatly resembling livestock and poultry, it was difficult to judge.

As days passed, the evil omens only worsened, with war, disasters, and plagues spilling like floodwaters from the mountains into the forest, unstoppable in their might and crazily spreading their destructive power.

Before long, the major nations on Tea-colored Ground were all affected.

During these days, Zhu Minglang had also been chasing those Omen Beasts. Although he had caught the Greedy Beast that caused the civil unrest and found the Maggot Beast responsible for the vermin tide, disasters had already taken shape, leading to countless more unforeseen hidden dangers and evil omens…

Since communication was inconvenient, if one did not look at it from the perspective of rulers and concerned individuals, the evil omens occurring in the winter on Tea-colored Ground were nothing but unavoidable natural and man-made disasters. However, listening to Li Xinghua’s tale of the seven major evil omens, and adding the Greedy Beast and Maggot Beast he had captured himself, Zhu Minglang felt the affair was even more terrifying!

Everything was developing in the worst possible direction!

Zhu Minglang was trying hard to locate the seven major Omen Beasts.

Li Xinghua could seal the divine skills of these Omen Beasts, turning their omen powers into her own, which would allow her to see more things that would happen in the future…

She was also using this method to search for the Fiend Star Dragon.

The traces of the Fiend Star Dragon were very scarce, so far they had found just a single feathered scale, knew of its encounter with the Greedy Beast, followed by the revelation from the Green Bull Mountain Orderer that it was injured.

Fortunately, Hu Chongming finally got some crucial information from one of his grand-elder relatives.

“Your speculation was correct, the Mourning Dragon indeed comes from the ancient ruins. For such a long time, we have been unable to find any trace or clue of the Fiend Star Dragon; I fear it truly is hiding in some unknown ruins!” Hu Chongming said.

Li Xinghua nodded her head…

Her prophetic abilities had actually become more powerful after absorbing the divine skills of those few Omen Beasts, but she was never able to see any visions of the Fiend Star Dragon. Likely, the only thing that could completely nullify her prophetic power was the chaos of time within the ancient ruins!

“Is there a clue to another entrance to the ancient ruins?” Zhu Minglang asked.

In Pear Blossom Gully, the corner of the valley of that ruin was sealed off by floating mountains. To enter the real Tea-colored Ground ruins, it seemed only possible through some other fissure entrance.

“There is, actually…” Hu Chongming hesitated for a while, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“Speak up!”

“Actually, that entrance to the ruins might very well be in Runyu City,” Hu Chongming said. In fact, he found it hard to believe himself, but this was what the elders in the Hu Family had told him.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions grew very complex!

In Runyu City???

What part of Runyu City looked like a desolate mountain range or dense forest? Which aspect of it seemed like it was concealing another world of ruins!

“My ancestors eradicated the Mourning Dragon, and back then, the dragon’s final lair was on this piece of land in Runyu City. To commemorate the victory of that grand battle, they used the bones of the Mourning Dragon as the foundation of the city and established Runyu City,” Hu Chongming said earnestly.

When he learned of this fact, even Hu Chongming himself could hardly believe it.

So Runyu City was built upon the piled bones of the Mourning Dragon!

“The Mourning Dragon was bloodthirsty; it turned the living creatures it killed into white bones, then used its saliva to build those bones into mountains. Countless Mourning Dragons once nested in these Bone Mountains. After the dragons were wiped out, our forebears flattened the mountain of bones, and using the Mourning Dragon’s sturdy bones, they built the impregnable Runyu City. Other places may suffer from rodent plagues or insect calamities, but you’d never see such creatures in Runyu City. Other cities might shake and have buildings collapse due to earthquakes; Runyu City is unaffected, even as if it were a basin gathering spirit. The well water, crops, and fruits here are more likely to produce spiritual varieties,” Hu Chongming continued to explain.

The reason Runyu City had always been contested was for various reasons, not just because of its location.

Its construction bore lofty significance, and moreover, it was nourished by countless Dragon Bones. The Mourning Dragons were supreme creatures of evil, yet their bones did not bring an overwhelming evil Qi. Instead, they brought prosperity to all things and were capable of incubating a Spiritual Land of Spiritual Rhyme.

Regrettably, this city did not receive good treatment. It was trampled upon by armies from various countries, and even the Godly Mortal Academy invaded it like a cancer. Fertile land, if the tiller does nothing, cannot produce high-quality grains on its own.

“So the entrance to the ruins should also be somewhere in Runyu City?”

“The Fiend Star Dragon that we’ve been searching so hard for—it’s very likely hiding right beneath our feet??”

Zhu Minglang had never considered it would turn out like this.

The fissure to the ruins was right in the city.

The Fiend Star Dragon was very, very close to them!!

“Trouble, big trouble! The Slaughter Country Brown Flag Army is marching towards Runyu City; they are going to lay siege!!” Yao Junshi suddenly ran in from outside, his complexion pale as he said to everyone in the room.

“Damn it, just when we finally found a clue to the Fiend Star Dragon!”
