Chapter 385: The Inheritance Of The Golden Dragon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan, Eliza, and Xu Yuan made their way down the stairs.
The Lords stood where they were. Even watched them indifferently.
The Lords were scared to make any move. They didn’t want to be killed.
They secretly discussed Xu Yuan in their group chat.
The Lords discussed at length but couldn’t make out anything about Xu Yuan’s identity.
Su Wan concealed her aura and padded down the stairs. Her shoes made dull thuds on the damp stairs.
The further they walked, the dimmer the lights became.
Xu Yuan had already extended his dark energy to envelop the entire space. He perceived everything in the surroundings.
They soon felt the ground flatten under their shoes, which meant that the stairs had ended.
They turned to look at the way they had come. Only a dot of light signaled the opening of the crack high above.
The ground was covered with dried and decayed bones. The place looked like an ancient tomb.
There were some footprints on the ground, which were obviously left behind by the previous Lords.
Xu Yuan walked forward and stepped on a skeleton, which cracked with a crisp sound under his feet. He was calm. Scenes like these didn’t bother him anymore.
Eliza stood in the center and looked around vigilantly. There was a golden door in front of her.
The light emitted by the golden door illuminated the surroundings faintly.
The golden door was embossed with a ferocious and terrifying dragon. The dragon was so lifelike that it felt as though it would come alive any minute.
Xu Yuan even felt the dragon’s might through the carving. The closer he got to the door, the stronger the aura became.
When they were just a few meters away, the dragon’s might became fiercer. It was as though the dragon had come to life and was glaring at them.
Any ordinary person would have felt suffocated under such strong energy. It was no wonder the Lords hadn’t been able to open the door. They probably couldn’t even get close.
Su Wan opened the system panel, but it showed her nothing aside from the name of the door.
[Golden Door]
Su Wan activated the True Eye of the Demonic Dragon to find out more.
[The Golden Gate holds the dragon soul of a Golden Dragon.]
[Devour its dragon soul and obtain the inheritance of the Golden Dragon. The current heir is the Swamp Dragon Hero.]
Su Wan’s eyes lit up. ‘Inheritance of the Golden Dragon?! Good heavens!’
It was no wonder the Swamp Dragon Hero had been so aggressive in fighting them.
If no one found this place, the Swamp Dragon Hero would have taken the inheritance and left.
Su Wan wondered what the inheritance was and how it could benefit her.
Su Wan recalled the hatred and contempt in the Swamp Dragon Hero’s eyes.
Unless she had a Soul Contract, she could neither recruit the Swamp Dragon Hero nor the Vampire Duke.
Su Wan wondered if the nine-headed Hydra would become a dragon if his dragon blood was activated.
Xu Yuan walked nonchalantly and approached the door. He reached out and pressed his hand on it.
Just as he was about to push the door open, a dragon’s form appeared in his mind and roared.
The terrifying power made everyone tremble in fear.
“Hm… this inheritance is guarded very fiercely,” said Xu Yuan as he pulled his hands away from the door. The dragon disappeared from his mind.
The Golden Dragon and the Dark Demon Dragon were polar opposites. So, the dragon was especially resistant to Xu Yuan’s attempts.
Su Wan found mottled murals behind the golden door. It recorded images of the Golden Dragon killing powerful enemies and ascending to the Golden Throne.
She enjoyed looking at it. Based on the murals, the inheritance of the Golden Dragon was indeed something extraordinary.
Su Wan was excited.
Eliza looked around. After confirming that there were no other treasures or threats, she suggested Su Wan leave the place with Xu Yuan.
The Lords heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Su Wan and Xu Yuan appear above ground again.
“Can you let us go now?”
“Don’t be so nervous. I won’t hurt you,” said Su Wan. “Do you know what exactly is hidden behind the golden door?”
“We don’t know. We couldn’t even get close to the door.”
“Did you find any treasures related to the Golden Dragon in there?”
“No. We got a few treasures, but they weren’t worth much.”
Su Wan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon to see if they were telling the truth. She didn’t find anything unusual.
“Just wait a while longer. Once we get whatever is hidden inside, I’ll let you go,” said Su Wan.
She waved her hands, and the Night Devil Bees flew outside to patrol the area.
When the Lords saw the Night Devil Bees, they were horrified.
They had seen Su Wan fight before with those bees, and they weren’t willing to risk it.
The leader turned to look at his companions. “That’s definitely the Su Wan we know,” he whispered.
“Yeah… I recognize the Night Devil Bees.”
“Let’s just obey her instructions and stay here. I don’t think she’s petty enough to go back on her words.”
The leader sighed and nodded.
Xu Yuan and Su Wan ignored them. It was true that they wouldn’t have even come across the golden door if it hadn’t been for the Lords.
Half a day later, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the Hydra arrived after dropping the Swamp Dragon Hero in the territory.
“Can you turn these corpses into soldiers and convert them to our side?” asked Su Wan.
Eve nodded and chanted something to transform the corpses.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan proceeded down the stairs along with the Hydra. The most important thing right now was to obtain the Golden Dragon’s inheritance..
