Chapter 630 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 34
The dragons used all the most advanced materials to repair the chains, and almost all the powerful dragons were stationed nearby in the Endless Cave.
On the day the chains were changed, Zhao Zhao was protected by Nari and the others in the Dragon Cave with a barrier, while they went to the Black Hole where the demonic dragon was imprisoned.
The atmosphere in the Dragon Clan was heavy, and everyone was under immense pressure.
As they drew closer to the altar guarded by the dragon, Neri's deep crimson eyes focused on Erstoo, who was holding heavy chains.
He recalled the ending of Zhao Zhao's second prophecy, "Erstoo, Frang."
The two people who were called paused, turned their heads slightly, and met those calm and collected eyes.
"You two stand at the back." Neri took the chains from their hands and was about to carry them by himself when Irrick stepped forward and stood beside him.
He chuckled softly, "Stand at the back and take care of yourself later."
Although the four of them often bickered and had many conflicts, their friendship, built over many years, was very strong, and none of them wanted the other to die.
Ersto and Franger exchanged a smile.
"Don't worry, we've made thorough preparations this time." Frang grinned, though his lively personality couldn't lift the heavy atmosphere this time.
Ersto removed the hand that was on his shoulder and simply said, "If something unexpected really happens, the bigger picture should take precedence."
His own life is not important; what matters is that the spirit world is inhabited by dragons.
After entering the Endless Cave, there was a seemingly endless darkness. But when a light suddenly appeared ahead, the demonic dragon chained by a dozen iron chains on the huge altar was exposed to them. The real danger had just begun.
The ancient altar was covered with runes. The black behemoth that was lying on top of it slowly opened its eyes upon hearing the sound. Its murky blood-red eyes clearly reflected their figures, and it let out a disdainful sneer.
"Your actions are faster than I expected," a slow, deep voice echoed in the small space, the powerful aura of the dragon extremely oppressive.
To Neri and the others' surprise, the dragon did not resist at all when the abandoned chain was replaced; in fact, it was quite cooperative.
Everything went exceptionally smoothly.
Even after the chain, which had taken a great deal of effort to make, was reattached to the dragon, Neri and the others were still not fully recovered.
Is that all?
The group exchanged bewildered glances, and just as they were about to leave, the unusually silent dragon raised its heavy head and looked at them. The slightest movement of its body startled them like frightened birds.
"Your dragon race is getting worse with each generation," the demon dragon said, narrowing its eyes and mocking their cowardice.
Finally, he added, "I sense that an ancestral dragon has been born among the dragon race..."
They could actually detect a hint of pleasure in a voice that was usually devoid of any variation in tone.
Faced with the dragons' wariness, the demon dragon simply chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him." He shifted his body slightly, and the chains binding him began to emit golden light and clang.
"Look, I'm locked up here, aren't I? Would I possibly harm anyone...?"
Even after they emerged from the Endless Cave, the malicious words still echoed in their ears.
The dark forest was now filled with dragons lying in ambush. At this moment, facing the endless cave where nothing had happened, someone complained: "What kind of precognitive dream is this? It's all a lie."
A single sentence from someone in the Dragon Clan instantly brought everyone back to their senses.
"That's right, it's just a broken chain, why make such a fuss!"
“I’ve said it before, the young master is still too young and his abilities are limited. How can important matters be decided based on his dream alone?”
The complaints were even more numerous than last time. Frang, who always stood on Zhaozhao's side, was still preparing to rush out and beat someone up, but this time he was stopped by the calm and rational Neri and Erstoo, who held him down on the shoulders from the left and right.
Irrick stepped forward with a frosty expression. He raised his voice and patiently explained to them: "As the only ancestral dragon in the dragon race with the ability to predict, everyone has witnessed the young master's abilities over the past two years. Therefore, I don't want to waste my breath arguing with you about this matter. After all, it's hard to explain to some blind people."
Most dragons are not good-tempered, and therefore have obvious character flaws.
Some of them were even more exasperating. Irrick rolled his eyes at the people who had just been complaining.
"Young Master knew that the dream did not occur at a specific time, so in order to prevent the Demon Dragon from causing chaos and threatening the Dragon Clan and even the Spirit Realm, Young Master was very cautious about everything related to the Demon Dragon."
"Everyone knows about this, but what do you mean by pretending not to know, and what do you mean by deliberately steering the question toward the young master's abilities?"
Irrick's question left those people speechless.
Erstoo added coldly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with being cautious. The young master has done his best for the dragons and believes he has done nothing to wrong you."
Frang couldn't hold back his words: "If I hear another word about the young master, I'll tear your mouths apart."
Neri's smile didn't reach her eyes: "The matter of replacing the chains is considered a close call. Thank you all for your hard work."
To prevent a dragon uprising, almost all the respected dragons had gathered in this forest. After so many days of tense mental preparation, nothing happened, so it was inevitable that some people would complain.
Neri could understand their resentment, but what she couldn't understand was why they would attack a young master who was only two years old.
Neri's eyes turned bloodshot as she thought of the cub who had been frowning and not sleeping well these past few days.
He said firmly, "I hope you are prepared. We will continue to treat everything concerning the dragon with the same caution. If you are not satisfied, feel free to come to me."
