Chapter 430: Chapter 240 - A Big Mountain in the Capital, Easter Egg Bookmark_1
[You slowly descend to the ground, transforming from the enormous dragon state granted by ’Hermit’s Arrival’ back into the creature you usually are — a beast with a dragon’s head on a human body.]
[In the group of monsters, aside from ’Shuten-doji,’ there are two or three other powerful monsters. Despite the might of the king of all spirits compelling them to prostrate themselves, they whisper among themselves as they bow their heads low...]
[Did Shuten-doji make a mistake? Images of the dragon god are found all over the world, and this beast doesn’t look like the dragon god...]
[You’re right, this beast is clearly a hybrid of a snake demon and a lizard demon... No, it might also be part bat demon, the wings on its back are proof.]
[...Hiss~ This bloodline is far too mixed up, it’s unheard of.]
[Maybe Shuten-doji was under the influence of alcohol and mistook it for something else. Should we remind him?]
[You idiot, Shuten-doji’s tolerance for alcohol is not something for ordinary demons to criticize. Even if he is wrong, we have to go along with him and pretend he’s right.]
[Oh, I get it! It feels like a veil has been lifted, and the way forward is now clear and bright...]
[...]
[You approached the kneeling red-haired hulk. He laughed heartily, praising your magnanimity.]
[’Shuten-doji’ kicked the gossiping monsters, scolding them. You good-for-nothings! All you do is eat and drink. Haven’t you ever heard the legend ’The dragon has nine sons, each different from the others’?]
[However, one of the monsters asked in confusion, Lord Shuten-doji, we’ve also heard of the ’Nine sons of the dragon god’ legend, but the appearance of this ’Dragon God Descendant’ isn’t quite the same as the nine sons in the legend.]
[Your humble servant is ignorant. May I ask, Lord, which of the ’Dragon God Descendants’ is this one?]
[Hearing this, ’Shuten-doji’ frowned, scrutinizing your appearance...]
Lin Xun was taken aback.
He was posing as a Dragon God Descendant.
The Little Dragon’s shell was of Hermit’s Ancestor’s bloodline, and his head was shaped like a large horned lizard, like a Western dragon, completely different from the true dragons in Eastern mythology.
The demons’ suspicions were not unfounded; describing the Little Dragon as a hybrid of snake, lizard and bat demons was... quite apt.
If ’Shuten-doji’ found out his true identity, the administrator’s test would probably end there.
"I must buy time! The test will be over in a dozen minutes. No matter what, I need to stall Shuten-doji..."
[Just as you were about to speak, the deep voice sounded again in your ear...]
[You’re a formidable Apostle. It’s remarkable that you’ve been able to hold your own against ’Shuten-doji’ for so long.]
[As a librarian, he respects your strength, but your luck has just run out. The next monster you’ll face is no less formidable than ’Shuten-doji’.]
[Having to face two top-level monsters in succession, even your superior strength won’t be enough to prevail.]
[The old voice fades as a graceful female figure emerges from the distant woods.]
[You look intently and see a beautiful woman slowly approaching. Her beauty is astounding. Her brows are like soft mountains, her eyes are like enthralling autumn waves. Her hair is like dark clouds, her face is peachy, and she’s statuesque with a slender waist...]
[She walks with perfect grace, her movements full of enchantment and allure.]
[She gazes at you with a gentle smile. Behind her, nine fluffy fox tails slowly emerge from the shadows.]
[The woman kneels before you and speaks in a soft, sweet voice, "I am the ’Nine-tailed Fox’. I am humbled to be in your presence, Oh great descendant of the Dragon."]
[As you help the ’Nine-tailed Fox’ to her feet, she stumbles and falls into your arms, her body warm and soft. You’re caught off guard.]
[The monsters, green with envy, can only watch, their breath heavy, but they dare not show any disrespect.]
[’Shuten-doji’ made a face, ignoring the ’Nine-tailed Fox’s’ obvious attempts to curry favor with you. "The Dragon God Descendant may not look like the nine sons of the dragon, but the aura of the Dragon God’s bloodline on him can’t be faked." he explained to the other monsters.]
[It’s clear that there are more than just nine descendants of the Dragon God. The word "nine" in the saying "the dragon has nine sons" is an umbrella term, meaning "many".]
[This news immediately earned him the monsters’ admiration...]
[’Shuten-doji’ laughed heartily, thinking his explanation was flawless and rational.]
[He looked at you, bowed again, and asked, "May I inquire why the Dragon God Descendant summoned us, Sir? Do you have a task for us? If so, we will definitely complete it!"]
[The ’Nine-tailed Fox’ in your arms also raised her elegant head, her eyes were charming and seemed to ask the same question.]
[Oh mighty Apostle blessed with the Dragon God’s bloodline, how will you respond?]
[1. As a descendant of the dragon, your fiery energy needs to be released. Having just summoned and battled many monsters, your liver fire has been extinguished. Now, the only remaining kidney fire must be extinguished, and you need to get intimate with the ’Nine-tailed Fox’ for that.]
[2. As a descendant of the dragon, you’re filling the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’s’ treasure trove. The Dragon God always loved precious treasures, and there haven’t been any new additions to the treasure trove for a long time. Therefore, you’ve summoned many monsters to offer treasures to enrich the treasure trove.]
[3. As a descendant of the dragon, you’re declaring a divine decree on behalf of the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’. Soon, an Evil God will descend and disturb the world’s order. The elder monsters among all races must fight bravely, and the younger ones must ’hide and protect’ themselves.]
