Chapter 216: Chapter 125: The Red Dragon’s Treasure: Super Rare Trait [Seven-Color Rainbow Light]

"You despicable jerk!"

"How dare you scheme for my treasure!"

Fury blazed in Mare Rhine’s heart. However, she had made a promise and decided she had to fulfill it.

"I can take you to find the Red Dragon’s treasure, but you may only choose three items!" Mare Rhine said to Su Xuan sternly.

"Fine."

Su Xuan answered with a faint shrug.

He wasn’t a greedy person and would certainly leave some for Mare Rhine. ’I just need a little!’

’I just wonder where this legendary Red Dragon Treasure is hidden. And after a thousand years, is it even still intact?’

After soaring through the sky for a long time, Su Xuan felt his Dragon Knight experience had been quite fulfilling. The feeling of the wind whipping against his face was more exhilarating than anything he had ever known.

"Alright, stop here."

Su Xuan had Mare Rhine stop, and he leaped lightly from her back.

The massive Giant Dragon’s body instantly reverted to its Half-Dragon-man form, but the anger on her face had not subsided in the slightest.

Now that Su Xuan had seen Mare Rhine’s Crimson Dragon form and Valkyrie Form, he couldn’t help but wonder what a half-Dragon, half-Valkyrie form would look like.

"I was thinking..."

Just as Su Xuan was about to speak, Mare Rhine snapped her fingers, and in an instant, the two of them left the special space and returned to the Guild.

’Oh well~’

’I’ll have a chance to see it sooner or later. I’m not in a hurry.’

When Su Xuan looked around and saw Ivsha and the others, he realized that what had felt like several hours of flying had, in reality, been only a few seconds.

"Mr. Su Xuan~ is she the new Guild member?" Ivsha asked, her eyes sparkling.

They were quite shocked that the new Guild member was a Dragon Lady.

"Mhm," Su Xuan nodded, answering with a smile.

"Let’s go."

Just then, Mare Rhine said to Su Xuan in a cold voice, "I’ll take you to the Red Dragon’s treasure."

Her initiative made Su Xuan chuckle softly. "Please, lead the way," he replied.

In a flash, the group used a Teleportation Array to arrive in a city within the Holy Dragon Kingdom. According to Mare Rhine’s memory, her treasure was buried in a mountain range on the westernmost edge of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Since the coordinates were in a desolate, uninhabited mountain range, the Teleportation Array couldn’t take them there directly, so they needed to make a stopover.

As they set foot in the city renowned as part of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Su Xuan immediately noticed the large number of Half-Dragon-men. According to records from various nations, the population of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was ten percent Half-Dragon-man, eighty percent human, and ten percent other Foreign Races.

Furthermore, legend told of several Demigod Level Giant Dragons that guarded the holy kingdom, making this ancient nation, co-founded by Giant Dragons and humans, one of the most powerful countries on the Magic Continent.

"The air in this country is nauseating! The stench of that bastard is everywhere!"

The moment she set foot here, Mare Rhine showed clear disgust.

Su Xuan’s curiosity was piqued. ’It seems the founding of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is closely related to Mare Rhine’s mortal enemy.’

"I can’t stand it for another second! Let’s get out of here!"

Mare Rhine immediately transformed into her Giant Dragon form, clearly wanting to leave this country that made her extremely uncomfortable as quickly as possible.

"Is that her true form?"

Ivsha and Alice had looks of shock on their faces when they saw Mare Rhine’s Giant Dragon form.

However, this Giant Dragon seemed slightly different from the ones they knew of...

Mare Rhine’s transformation immediately drew the attention of the surrounding crowd. And in a country founded by Giant Dragons, the citizens naturally regarded them as divine beings.

"Wow! It’s a Giant Dragon!"

"My heavens~ a Giant Dragon wearing armor!"

"Those Flame-like Dragon Scales... she must be a Red Dragon, right?"

"So beautiful! I think I’m going to faint~"

"Great Red Dragon! Please accept our devout worship!"

"..."

The surrounding humans and Half-Dragon-men swarmed forward to pay their respects to Mare Rhine.

However, Mare Rhine merely gave the adoring crowd a cold glance, showing little interest.

"Let’s get on."

Su Xuan gestured to Ivsha and the others, then leaped lightly onto Mare Rhine’s back.

Ivsha and the others followed suit, landing steadily on Mare Rhine’s back.

This scene, however, greatly displeased Mare Rhine.

"Not only are you going to ride me yourself, but you’re also letting others on?" Mare Rhine’s voice, laced with clear anger, rang in Su Xuan’s mind.

Su Xuan smiled placatingly. "We’re all partners in the Guild. It’s fine for them to ride along. But don’t worry, I won’t let just anyone ride you."

"Hmph!"

"Let’s get going. The crowd is getting bigger."

"Hmph!"

Mare Rhine snorted in displeasure, then immediately spread her wings and soared into the sky, heading toward the location of the Red Dragon Treasure.

From the crowd below, voices praising her continued to echo...

Soon, Mare Rhine had led the group to a mountain range over a hundred li away.

She swayed her draconic head from side to side, trying to recall where she had buried the treasure. After all, a thousand years had passed, and she could no longer remember the exact location. But she could find it by relying on its faint aura.

While Mare Rhine searched for the treasure, Ivsha and the others sat on her back, thoroughly enjoying the experience of riding a Giant Dragon.

"So this is what it feels like to ride a Giant Dragon! It’s amazing!" Alice stood on the Dragon’s back, her arms spread wide to feel the howling wind, looking like a happy child.

Meanwhile, Ivsha stood beside Su Xuan, silent, simply staring at him intently with her pale violet eyes.

"What is it?"

Su Xuan asked Ivsha.

"Hm~ It’s nothing~"

Ivsha shook her head, responding with a smile.

But for some reason, Su Xuan sensed a strange emotion in Ivsha’s gaze. He had a feeling she wanted to pray for the Holy Light on the Dragon’s back...

"Found it!"

After a long search, Mare Rhine finally found the spot where she had buried her treasure. She dove down without hesitation, slamming into the ground of the valley.

A deafening roar echoed out, and the entire mountain range trembled.

However, the group’s landing was exceptionally smooth, completely unaffected by the violent impact.

After landing, Su Xuan immediately scanned his surroundings. He found that it was just an ordinary valley, surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, with not even a trace of a cave or anything similar.

’But since it’s a treasure buried by a Giant Dragon, there has to be something extraordinary about it,’ he believed.

Just then, Mare Rhine gradually reverted to her Half-Dragon-man form.

"Hmph! Ignorant human, allow me to show you my treasury!"

Mare Rhine said to Su Xuan, puffing out her chest proudly.

She raised her right foot and stomped it forcefully on the ground!

Instantly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.

A fissure several meters wide split open in the valley floor, and a dazzling red light shone from its depths.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Mare Rhine leaped into the fissure.

Su Xuan and Ivsha exchanged a knowing glance and followed close behind, jumping into the mysterious fissure as well.

When they reached the bottom of the fissure, the sight before them left them stunned.

A whole new world unfolded beneath the valley.

This space was formed from red rock, with four massive red pillars towering up to support the vast area.

However, unlike the dragon-guarded treasures depicted in movies and TV shows, there was no magnificent, glittering scene here, nor were there mountains of gold and jewels.

On the contrary, the place was empty, save for a pile of massive bones scattered on the ground, making it seem exceptionally desolate.

"This is..."

Su Xuan looked at Mare Rhine. ’This can’t be the real dragon treasury... right?’

However, as he studied Mare Rhine’s expression, his gaze grew solemn.

He noticed the rims of her eyes were slightly red, with tears welling up, and her expression was a clear mix of anger and grief.

And then...

"Who dared to steal my treasure! If I find out who it was, I will burn them to ash!"

Mare Rhine roared with fury, her voice echoing throughout the entire space and causing a violent tremor.

After her roar subsided, Mare Rhine began to dig at the ground.

"Damn it! There must be something left! That was a collection I spent thousands of years gathering!"

"..."

Su Xuan felt a deep sense of pity watching this scene.

’But I can’t imagine who could have stolen her treasure. After all, this place is filled with her destructive aura, enough to prevent any being below the rank of Demigod from even approaching.’

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Su Xuan’s gaze fell upon the massive bones.

The bones looked like the skeleton of some kind of Demon Beast, but not a Giant Dragon.

Moreover, these didn’t look like the thief’s remains; it was more likely they were the scraps of a meal the thief had left behind.

Filled with curiosity, Su Xuan walked over to the bones and observed them closely. Just then, a prompt suddenly appeared in his vision.

[Bones of a Phoenix Feather Bird (Epic): A species of avian Demon Beast that consists only of females. Its meat is delicious. Its flesh is rich in collagen, and powder from its ground-up bones can enhance one’s vital essence.]

A glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes. ’Just as I guessed—these are the remains of a meal.’

"What’s this?"

Suddenly, Su Xuan noticed a cyan-blue fragment in the pile of bones.

He walked over and picked up the cyan-blue fragment.

[Dragon Scale Fragment of the Cyan-Blue Dragon (?): Perhaps "it" is still somewhere in this world.]

"The Cyan-Blue Dragon?"

Looking at the description of the Dragon Scale Fragment, Su Xuan began to understand the situation.

’It was likely that Mare Rhine’s mortal enemy took her treasure.’

"Yes! There’s something left!"

Just then, Mare Rhine seemed to have dug something up.

She was holding a Seven-Colored Crystal Stone in her hands, its brilliant light seeming to illuminate the entire space.

[Rainbow Crystal Stone (Legendary): A Crystal Stone containing rainbow energy. With this item, you can obtain the Super Rare Trait "Seven-Color Rainbow Light"!]

!?

Su Xuan’s eyes widened in shock!

’A Super Rare Trait?’

’The Red Dragon’s treasure is truly extraordinary!’
