Chapter 30: The Dragon King Ruoduo Awakens, Great Battle Imminent
After the armored man was defeated, Hu Tao recalled with lingering fear the immense sword light he had unleashed.
In order to leave this place of trouble, Hu Tao quickly pulled Xun Feng away.
"Xunfeng, how did you know I was here?"
Walking down the street, Hu Tao tilted her head and stared at Xun Feng, trying to find the answer in his eyes.
"Finding you wasn't difficult at all... You have the strongest fire elemental power in all of Liyue..."
Xunfeng smiled at Hu Tao and shrugged.
"Ah...you think so highly of me, the head of this hall?!"
Hearing Xunfeng say this, Hu Tao was secretly delighted, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
Liyue, the Hall of Rebirth.
After Xunfeng left, Ying and Paimon sat anxiously on the sofa in the hall for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, Zhongli, who had been away for a long time, suddenly rushed in anxiously and appeared in their sight.
"Hi! Good morning, Mr. Zhongli!"
Upon seeing Zhongli return, Paimon waved enthusiastically at him.
"Young friends, please follow me into the Hall of Rebirth. I have important matters to discuss with you."
Zhongli didn't have time to return the greeting, so she walked straight into the hall and gestured for them to follow.
Seeing Zhongli's somber expression, Ying vaguely sensed something.
After the three of them sat down in the hall, Zhongli explained the whole story.
“I heard from a Celestial friend that the Dragon King Rado will be awakening soon, which is estimated to pose a great threat to Liyue Harbor. If we want to restore peace, we will need a lot of combat power to fight against him. So I would like to ask the two of you to join this battle.”
Upon hearing the four characters "Ruo Tuo Dragon King," Ying, though unfamiliar with the name, sensed its immense power and felt guilty, wanting to refuse.
I'm supposed to fight the Dragon King with a blunt sword?!
"Young friend, there is no need to worry. All the Liyue immortals are present in this battle. You only need to contribute your own small part."
Zhongli calmly spoke to comfort Ying, whose mind was in turmoil.
Ying looked down at her small, dull, edgeless sword, feeling uncertain, but for Liyue's safety, she accepted the mission.
Just then, the brave and fearless Paimon spoke up.
"Hehe, such a dangerous situation... I guess I don't need to go, right? I'm only good at using my wits, not my strength!"
Upon hearing this, Ying, looking incredulous, grabbed Paimon and pulled her in front of her.
"Oh dear, Paimon wouldn't... have abandoned me for his own sake?"
After saying that, Ying pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Ah... what are you saying? I'll go, I'll go! I, Paimon, am no saint either!"
Paimon faced reality, stood tall, and chose to compromise.
Liyue, beneath the Dragon Tree.
A massive, four-legged crocodile-like dragon, its body as imposing as a mountain, possessed a pair of crystalline horns formed from millennia-old corundum. Its skin was brown, except for its lower jaw and abdomen, which were milky white and covered in distorted patterns derived from geomorphic motifs. Its back was covered in conical hardwood that extended to its shoulders. Its limbs were short and thick, protected by bark-textured leg armor, while its shoulders and forelimb joints were protected by geomorphic crystals. Its entire body radiated an endless supply of geomorphic power.
These enormous creatures are none other than the Naga King, Ruoduo.
In its memory, it lost its mind after being corroded and worn down. Then, after an unknown amount of time, its best friend, Morax, came and sealed it away.
"Morax, I am your sworn enemy! Although you gave me eyes and the right to coexist with mortals, allowing me to live in this beautiful world, and I considered you my best friend, I never expected that you would betray the contract and seal me away!"
Upon waking up, the Dragon King Ruoduo recalled all of this, and he gritted his teeth in anger, stomping his foot with all his might.
In an instant, all the nearby rocks resonated and collapsed.
Rumble!
At this moment, a group of immortals stood on an open space between Mount Hulao and the South Heavenly Gate.
It was Gan Yu who brought a group of immortals to observe the situation!
Upon witnessing this earth-shattering scene, everyone immediately went on high alert!
"It seems... the matter in the letter is true. Please hurry back and gather more immortals and demons. With just us immortals, we are no match for King Ruotu!"
Gan Yu, looking panicked, gave instructions to one of the immortals beside her.
None of them expected that their simple task of scouting would lead to the enemy suddenly appearing!
Seeing that something was wrong, the immortal turned and ran towards Liyue Harbor, trying to call for help as soon as possible.
After the Dragon King Ruoduo collapsed, he arrogantly leaped out and landed steadily on the ground, raising dust everywhere as he landed!
Upon seeing the several frail-looking immortals before him, the Dragon King Ruoduo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You weaklings, are you the ones Morax sent to suppress me? You really... greatly underestimate me!"
After saying this, the Dragon King Ruoduo's eyes flashed with anger, and he roared. His powerful sound waves scattered all the immortals not far away.
Just then, Xiao arrived in time. After sensing the commotion, he immediately set off to provide support.
"Mortal, do not overstep your bounds!"
Seeing the approaching demon, the Dragon King Ruotu disdainfully raised his enormous body and smashed it with his palm.
Xiao, holding the kite, distracted the Dragon King Ruotu while dodging its attacks.
Amidst a flurry of flying sand and stones, Xiao put up a tenacious resistance.
How long until reinforcements arrive?
Liyue, the Hall of Rebirth.
Zhongli's expression was solemn. After sensing that the Dragon King Ruotu had awakened, he hurriedly urged Ying and Paimeng to set off.
"The Dragon King Ruoduo has awakened; it's time for him to take the stage!"
"Oh... so fast? Aren't you going to have a meal and prepare something?"
Paimon scratched his head, ready to back down.
Seriously, I, Paimon, am a national-level performer of the "retreat drum" technique!
"Paimon! The Dragon King Rota won't wait for you to eat! If you're any slower, it'll be at Liyue Harbor!"
Ying, who was standing to the side, complained and pulled Paimon along, then quickly ran in the direction Zhongli had indicated.
the other side.
Xunfeng and Hutao strolled leisurely on their way home, feeling free and relaxed.
The blue sky and white clouds overhead made them feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Hu Tao, what's the situation with the Layered Rock Abyss?"
"It's nothing. There are many miners over there, and the complex terrain, coupled with the elusive monsters, poses a threat to the lives of many miners, so casualties often occur."
Hu Tao sighed and explained the situation to Xun Feng.
"Remember to call me next time you go to such a dangerous place!"
Xunfeng gave Hu Tao serious instructions.
"Haha, I've got it figured out!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Xun Feng's mind.
"The Dragon King Ruoduo under the Dragon Tree has awakened. Heliseg, do you have time to go and help?"
This was precisely the message that Zhongli conveyed to Xunfeng through the Eye of God within him.
"Hu Tao, we're already on the outskirts of Liyue City. You should go back first. I just remembered I still have something to do..."
Upon hearing Zhongli's plea for help, Xunfeng, for Hu Tao's safety, had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to her.
"What is it that I can't go with?"
Hearing him say that, Hu Tao pouted, indicating that she was unhappy.
