Hannibal Among Dragons

Why did things turn out this way?

Looking around at the bald, muscular clones coming and going, the enormous room piled high with gold and silver treasures that had lost all aesthetic appeal, the oversized beds that only large creatures would use, and the savory food laid out on the table in front of him.

Lu Lu Wo looked up at the magnificent golden ceiling and couldn't help but ask this question weakly.

That's right, at this very moment, they are inside the dragon's nest.

Moreover, it was the dragon's nest occupied by Bipedal Dragon, and the bald, muscular giants around them who all looked similar were Bipedal Dragon who had transformed into human form and were now serving as their servants, taking care of their food and drink.

I'm completely fed up with complaining about why the younger generation of male dragons like to transform themselves into these cloning, sin-bag-like creatures. What makes Lu Lu Wo feel like her life is full of ups and downs is that the Bipedal Dragon chieftain E'luo, is sitting right across from her.

Despite having a human body, he possessed a dragon's head. His face displayed the kind smile of a country grandfather seeing his grandchildren returning home, and he even raised his hand to signal them to enjoy the delicious food.

"Eat up, you'll have the energy to talk business when you're full," E'luo said kindly.

So the Dragon Clan Chieftain is incredibly affable!

"Well, thank you so much for your kindness."

Lu Lu Wo forced a smile, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

Why? Because for a human like her, the food laid out in front of her seemed a bit too raw and unappetizing.

I won't go into detail about the different kinds of plants, but the ones that look the least appealing are a few potted swaying plants.

"Captain," Bei Er Tuo suddenly leaned over, pointing at the potted plants and whispering while sweating, "If I'm not mistaken, those things look like monsters from the Verdant Dungeon?"

Peashooter, Cabbage Thrower, and some other miscellaneous hybrids—that's the name of those plants.

"Dragons... do they even eat these?"

Ordinary people can eat these things, but dragons have a unique way of eating them.

Accompanying E'luo, Abei lazily lay on the table, his mouth open, staring at the hybrid plant that was mainly composed of Peashooter. Whenever the other plant shot a pea or some other plant at him, he would chew it with a look of enjoyment. He could eat food effortlessly with only his mouth moving.

The waiters nearby all cast envious glances at him, and even their expressions seemed to be affected, becoming lazy and listless.

Fudolin, standing next to her, had already started to imitate her, opening her mouth wide and waiting for cabbages to fall from the sky, as excited as if she had opened the door to a new world.

Having strong physical abilities means you can do whatever you want, even ignoring the damage from shoving plants on your face?

If this were any other time, Lu Lu Wo would definitely have a thorough and unrestrained rant.

However, there were just too many things to complain about around here, and all the words I wanted to say rushed to my lips, causing a blockage. In the end, my brain's code stopped working, Lu Lu Wo was left in an unawakened state.

"Come on, eat more." E'luo smiled and raised his hand.

"Awoo awoo." Fudolin chewed on a pea, her cheeks puffed out.

"I tried the Dragon Communion yesterday, and the dragon heart was quite delicious!" one of the dragons said excitedly.

"."

Lu Lu Wo leaned back weakly in her chair, a question nagging at her:

"I never imagined the inside of the dragon's nest would be like this in my entire life."

In fairy tales, dragon's nests are places where vicious and evil dragons gather. Why is this place more peaceful than a tavern where adventurers often fight?

My childhood stereotypes have been completely destroyed.

A year ago, she thought that her life would just be like that, stuck at the Silver Rank forever, taking on mediocre quests, killing ordinary monsters, and seeing only average scenery. She thought that when she got old or had too many internal injuries to continue this line of work, she would find a good place to bury herself.

Who knows why I've become a super famous adventurer in the country, secretly become the leader of a vicious gang, and have also witnessed a lot of magnificent scenery. Now I'm even a successful person who was personally invited by the chief of the Bipedal Dragon to enter the legendary dragon's nest!

Looking back, it was all because of this.

"Ah, thank you, Sain~"

"What's the captain thinking about again?" Ta Mi asked, looking at Lu Lu Wo who suddenly became awkward.

"Don't worry about it, her thinking has always been so unconventional," Bei Er Tuo said seriously.

He looked at the food in front of him, which was unacceptable by human standards, composed himself, and looked at E'luo, saying:

"Mr. E'luo, you invited us here because of the Dragon Communion we mentioned in the tavern earlier, right?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Bei Er Tuo turned his gaze to Lu Lu Wo, who understood immediately and said seriously:

"Actually, we only just found out about that kind of thing, and we don't know much about it. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

They didn't deliberately wait until they got a meal from E'luo before bringing it up; rather, they simply hadn't found a suitable opportunity to discuss it along the way, and now they could finally say it.

"It's alright, I still want to know what this Blood Dynasty you're talking about is all about."

In front of outsiders, E'luo always seemed easy to talk to, and now he certainly looked cheerful, though it was unclear why.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that his body is stronger than before.

Not only E'luo, but also Abei and the other Bipedal Dragon all look much bigger.

While dragons can shape their own appearance when transforming into humans, it's not entirely free; their changes in strength are now reflected in their human form.

Lu Lu Wo hadn't had much contact with dragons before, so she couldn't see the changes in them at all. What puzzled her was that the dragons didn't seem to react much when they saw Fudolin.

That's strange. Fudolin is a dragon too, so why didn't E'luo others react much when they saw her? Could it be that Fudolin isn't from a prominent family and is just an unknown figure among the dragons?

It seems that the previous plan to establish connections with the powerful dragon race through Fudolin has fallen through.

Thinking of this, Lu Lu Wo sighed inwardly, then looked at E'luo with a normal expression and recounted everything she had seen and heard in the Blood Dynasty.

"It is indeed a very dangerous place, especially for that Blood Monarch." This was E'luo's assessment after hearing the story.

He stroked the scales on his chin, looking as if he were deep in thought, and no one dared to disturb him at that moment.

As he rubbed his eyes, his eyelids began to close slowly, and he nodded twice as if he were drowsy, looking like a typical sleepy old man.

But the next second he immediately snapped out of it and continued thinking as if nothing had happened.

Lu Lu Wo looked around, but none of the dragons reacted to E'luo's state. Was it because they were used to it, or more like they simply didn't see it at all?

This should be considered a normal situation, right?

"Your intelligence is very interesting. In return, I'll share some intelligence with you."

After a moment, E'luo snapped out of his thoughts and said this.

Information about the Dragon Clan Chief!?

Lu Lu Wo immediately perked up, and the entire Skyrim Strategy Team sat up straight. What kind of earth-shattering secret would the other party reveal? They were really looking forward to it!

"It's also related to the Zane Dungeon."

With a slight twitch of his fingers, E'luo sketched the shape of a dragon lying prone on the ground in the air—a shape all too familiar to adventurers.

"Go find Gui'aoer, enter her body. I believe that you humans can gain even greater power inside."

His tone was not joking at all; he spoke very seriously.

Inside Gui'aoer's body?

Lu Lu Wo blinked, then quickly nodded, looking very serious.

Since it's information from an important person, it's definitely not something to be taken lightly; it must have high value.

But what about inside Gui'aoer? Does that refer to the great white dragon lying in Caelid? Could it be that there's a hidden world inside its body?

As she thought about this, another question arose that she couldn't ignore no matter what:

What kind of genius would think of crawling into the body of a dragon?

Lu Lu Wo suddenly glanced at E'luo subtly, observing his size, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Then I shivered violently!

It's unimaginable, that kind of scene is unimaginable.

"By the way, your team's next target is still the Blood Dynasty, right?"

E'luo's sudden voice made Lu Lu Wo shudder, and the latter nodded stiffly.

"Then let my grandson and the other members of your clan go with you and try to kill the Blood Monarch as soon as possible, how about that? This will make your adventure much easier."

No, no, no, if a few dragons came in with us, how terrifying would the monsters of the Blood Dynasty be?

However, there are also many advantages, so we have to make trade-offs.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Lu Wo quickly gave her answer:

"Okay! Thank you for your kindness!"

"Hehehe, well then, I have some exclusive information here about Dragon Communion. How about I give it to you as a reward to motivate you to explore more diligently? You can take a look first."

Information about the Dragon Communion Clan?

Is this some kind of hundred ways to cook a dragon's heart? Just now, a dragon said that Dragon Communion was quite delicious. It's practically the Hannibal Lecter of the dragon race.

Lu Lu Wo happily accepted it, thinking to herself that as expected of the clan leader, he was very generous.

But before she could excitedly look at the intelligence, Abei, who had been engrossed in eating, suddenly said:

"No, Grandpa, I don't think I have time to go. Mor invited me to go to Verdant Dungeon to find some new plants to eat."

"I see. Well, there's nothing I can do then. Let's try another one," E'luo said.

"Plants?" Fudolin's voice suddenly came.

"These are the ones you just ate," Abei said, pointing to the Peashooter. "There are many other kinds in the dungeon, too many to eat."

In a short period of time, without saying a single word, he had already developed feelings for Fudolin.

Because he likes to eat these plants, and the other person likes them too, and the expression of enjoyment on their face is even more intense than his!

This is a soulmate!

"Were these also brought out from the dungeon?" Fudolin covered her mouth in surprise. "There are so many good things in the dungeon!"

"Where did you come from, you adorable creature?" Abei gasped, then suddenly said, "Do you want to come and see for yourself? It's quite interesting."

Fudolin immediately showed a look of interest.

"Hey, are you trying to poach my girlfriend right in front of me?" Lu Lu Wo's eyes sharpened.

But then she suddenly remembered something and said with a smile:

"Sure Fudolin. We need a few days to rest. If you're interested, you can come along. We'll wait for you to come back home."

"Really!?"

Fudolin immediately felt enveloped in happiness.

"Then it's settled. We'll be leaving this afternoon. Are you okay with that?" Abei asked.

"Absolutely no problem!"
