Despite having traveled through the dimensional crack and arriving at the dragon clan, Xu Lan did not see Bai Wu anywhere. Worried, he thought to himself and wondered if he was able to prevent another dragon from discovering him. They seemed to like keeping things as pets, because the last time Xu Lan went there unguarded, they locked him up and treated him as a house pet. If back then, the dragon did not ultimately beat him up, he might not have known when he would be able to see Bai Wu.

Xu Lan walked around aimlessly. He was surrounded by majestic mountains, azure lakes, lush green forests, and mighty dragons. It was like he entered the Jura.s.sic Period in the blink of an eye. The dragons conversed in a chant-like language that Xu Lan could not understand. However, there was no doubt that they were far more menacing, intelligent, and formidable than their Jura.s.sic counterparts.

Most of them lived comfortably in gigantic houses that were made out of stone, but the weakest dragons were banished to the dark caverns in the hilltops. They interacted as humans did: they had their own society, their own activities, and were divided according to their status and ranking.

Bai Wu must have ran into some trouble since he was not waiting for Xu Lan at the same spot. Xu Lan glanced at his quartz watch. He had been wandering around for 84 hours, but even though three and half days had pa.s.sed, he did not take even a second’s worth of a break. He took out a compression biscuit, bit into it, and washed it down with water. He was afraid to drink too much since he had no idea how long it would take for him to find Bai Wu. Time seemed to pa.s.s in a similar way to the first time when Bai Wu was transported away by the crack: all Xu Lan could do was search aimlessly for him!

He tore open some thick, two-meter high weeds, and saw a bunch of smooth rocks in front of him. A stream of water was flowing underneath the rocks, and some unidentified creatures were emitting a rustling sound. Xu Lan then filled up his water bottle, leaned against the rock, and slept.

His continuous search for Bai Wu – of which he went two days and two nights without sleep – made him incredibly tired. The longer he was there, the more uneasy he became, and the only thing he could do was continue searching without sleep or rest.

“Awoo…”

“Huoo!”

The dragon clan’s loud roars and rumbling sounds of battle woke Xu Lan up. In his semi-conscious state of mind, he hid behind a huge boulder and peeked carefully to see what was going on. At that point, perhaps it would have been better if Xu Lan did not peek, for he nearly jumped out from behind the rock: who else could that giant white dragon be if it was not Bai Wu!

Bai Wu was considerably bigger compared to when he was with Xu Lan, and at that moment, he was battling against three black dragons. His silver-white body, however, was covered in cuts and bruises; his flesh was ripped open and exposed, while fresh blood dripped down and stained the area of battle.

“… Ngehehe!”

“Awoo, uugh!” A stream of lightning crashed down from above and struck Bai Wu on his back. Bai Wu stumbled and stepped into a creek. The water subsequently turned red, and so did Xu Lan’s eyes!

“Bai…” Xu Lan stopped himself just as he was about to call out. His voice would certainly cause even more trouble since Bai Wu would be distracted and would have to spare some time in order to protect him!

Bai Wu’s injuries did not deter the three black dragons, but rather, they attacked even faster and more brutally, clearly intending to end his life!

With a swipe of his hand, Bai Wu attacked by conjuring an ice wall. Before the wall could strike the black dragons, the sudden uprooting of a huge tree obstructed the wall and shattered it into pieces. Before Bai Wu could react, a gale of wind came surging directly at him, slicing through stone like daggers.

” Huo huo

…” Bai Wu could not avoid it in time, and a series of fresh wounds appeared on his body.

Upon seeing the scene, Xu Lan’s throat became tight and his eyes became red. He cupped some water from the creek and washed his reddened, bloodthirsty face! He glared at the black dragon behind the rock. With lightning-quick reflexes, he fished out a handgun from his backpack!

‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’

“Xu Lan!”
