Chapter 382 - 382 The Dragon Plucks the Carrot
382 The Dragon Plucks the Carrot
The council of the clan kings came to a conclusion. They decided to initiate the big battle earlier, so Taixia Country would be caught off guard. They were hardly the advantageous side in a battle, and they were too used to being on the disadvantageous side. They could not believe that they did not know how to make strategies when they were on the favored side. They wanted to learn the “operation” of Taixia Country, so they slowly made plans. However, it seemed that they played themselves…
They survived on the borders of Taixia Country with their people, so they were not idiots. They could tell that they were losing more powerful attackers. A lot of the schemes they plotted were quickly being eliminated by Taixia Country. They would be goners if they do not think of something!
So, they decided to risk it all!
It would be great if they win… However, they would lose everything if they lost their domain!
…
Lin Xuan stepped on branches. He sprinted towards the deep end. His Cognizance and Mind Net were just starting to activate. Moreover, the powerful dragon breath incantation fully hid his aura. The trees could not detect traces of Lin Xuan. That was the disadvantage of non-manual manipulation, any ninja could sneak in with an aura-erasure incantation.
‘Nothing?’
Lin Xuan was the center of the tree domain, but his Cognizance and Mind Net did not detect anyone. ‘How is this possible? The center of the tree domain is the best spot to hide someone. The center is definitely the safest area… but it might not be the most remote area!’
Lin Xuan stopped frowning. ‘Yeah. The safest spot is the most dangerous spot, and the riskiest spot is precisely the safest!”
According to what Julia would do, there were only two hiding spots, the center of the tree domain or the borders of the tree domain!
‘No one would expect Julia to hide them at the borders because that’s the riskiest spot!”
‘This girl is so interesting!’
Lin Xuan figured it out, so he turned and left. He moved towards the borders. Soon, he circled through the borders, but he still couldn’t detect anyone!
He was confused at that point. ‘How is this possible? Did that girl hide them… randomly?’
It was possible, and the probability was high. The riskiest spot and the safest spot were common points. It would be easier to locate them if they were hidden in those two spots!
Lin Xuan stared at the sky silently. The clans were not planning to enter the tree domain. They surrounded the tree domain and waited for backup. Their goal was the rescuers. Julia and the others were basically trapped…
The girl played some decent mind games, but it was useless. She was up against nothing, and sabotaged Lin Xuan and herself in the end!
‘What should I do?’
Lin Xuan squinted. They were still in danger. The four guardian bosses were limited with time. Just because the clans did not send someone to hunt them, it did not mean they would never send someone to hunt them. Lin Xuan and the others could not save anyone if they kept stalling, and they would also be trapped.
‘I should just carry the tree domain back if I can’t find the spot!’
“You three, back up!”
Then, Lin Xuan transformed into a terrifying Greenwood Storm Dragon. It was huge, but ripping off the entire tree domain was impossible. However, Lin Xuan had other tricks up his sleeve, like the incantation, Duplicate!
The Duplicate incantation was doubled. His size and powers were improved by tenfold!
A humongous Greenwood Storm Dragon appeared on top of the tree domain. Zhu Yuan and the others looked at it with baffling faces. They were scared, anxious, and flustered at the terrifying dragon Lin Xuan transformed into.
Soon, Lin Xuan grabbed onto the tree domain with its claws. He pulled hard like plucking a carrot. The earth shook as he pulled out the huge tree domain.
The divine rune master and the divine array master were shocked. ‘Why is this so freaking terrifying?’ They looked back at their leader, Zhu Yuan, with ghastly faces. ‘Dude, is this the person you want to challenge? This is so freaking insane!’
They were melodramatic, but they would not stand by and watch. The divine array master quickly casted a levitation array to help the tree domain levitate. The divine rune master also did not back down. Countless weight decrease runes fluttered in the air, and attached themselves on the tree domain. Lin Xuan instantly felt the burden lessen.
He nodded at the three of them, and he did not dare to delay. His huge dragon state could not remain for a long time. He had to bring the tree domain back to the frontier before they stopped halfway.
Then, Lin Xuan flew toward the Frontier as fast as possible. It was much faster than when they were on the road.
The three ninjas looked at each other, and they did not dare to stay there anymore. They quickly followed Lin Xuan at lightspeed to escort him.
The war headquarters, in the Frontier, Chaksha City.
A personnel who was surveilling the outer battlefields through a cloud satellite suddenly screamed. He jolted and yelled, “Oh no, oh no! There’s suddenly a wide range of abnormal weather phenomena in the northwest, a hundred miles away. It seems like a huge beast is hiding in it.”
“What? Keep surveilling. I’ll report it right now!”
The leader instantly stood up. He did not panic, but there was anxiety in his eyes. He knew he could not panic because it would not solve anything. It was harmful to spread fear to the surveillance team.
Soon, he reported the situation to the headquarters through the smartwatch.
Three Jounin ninjas showed up within two minutes. They flew towards the abnormal weather phenomenon. The huge change could not be the work of a black rank ninja, so it must be a Jounin ninja. They had to find out who tried to break the rules. ‘Someone is going to die!’
Lin Xuan carried the tree domain with sparks and lightning on the way. He finally saw the majestic Chaksha city, but he was exhausted. He was hanging on with his will to continue flying. Soon, three Taixia Country Jounin ninjas appeared in front of him.
“Who the hell are you? How dare you ambush Taixia Country? Are you trying to die…? Holy moly, a black rank?!”
The leader of the group instantly saw Lin Xuan. His humongous body was hard to not notice. However, Jounin ninjas were Jounin ninjas. They instantly recognized Lin Xuan as a black rank ninja. They felt troubled because Jounin ninjas were not allowed to attack black rank ninjas. It was a battlefield rule made by Taixia Country to limit the clans and the ninjas.
“It’s me…”
Lin Xuan saw someone from Taixia Country and felt relieved. He fainted and reverted to his human form. Then, he fell straight to the ground.
