Since the incident has occurred, the primary task is to find someone to bear the responsibility.
Ji Hao cannot bear this matter, and neither can Zhou You.
Therefore, for the two of them, the ones who can bear this misfortune are either Heavenly Sword Supreme Niu Dali or the Evil Forces.
Ji Hao glared, "What do you mean?"
Zhou You said, "What I mean is, your Evil Forces are unparalleled in the world, and the Evil Lord is even more powerful and heaven-reaching.
What is there to fear from a mere Dragon?"
"If you put it that way,"
Ji Hao sneered, "it's indeed the truth.
There's nothing in this world that our Evil Forces can't handle."
Zhou You smiled, "After all, you are unparalleled in the world, and you are so excellent.
Look at the muscle definition on your body; if you hadn't gone all out earlier, we would have all died here."
Ji Hao looked proud, "Of course.
Even if you hadn't acted, I could have chopped it down."
Zhou You nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, it's all my wretched hands' fault; they just love to do unnecessary things."
Ji Hao waved his hand magnanimously, "I'll take the blame for this."
Zhou You smiled, "How is this blame? This was clearly a heroic battle, and that invincible demeanor is simply a model for our generation."
"Hmph."
Ji Hao lifted his chin high, "Consider yourself sensible."
Zhou You blinked, "Young Master Ji is unparalleled in bravery, unmatched in the world!"
Ji Hao stood up, "Za Yu, your greatest virtue is that you like to speak the truth."
Before he finished speaking, he walked to the side and took out a Jade Slip for communication.
"Senior Brother, I've gotten into a bit of trouble."
Ji Hao whispered, his previous arrogance and domineering manner gone.
"Speak."
The other party spoke very concisely.
Ji Hao glanced around, "I accidentally chopped down a young Dragon; I suspect it ran away from home in a fit of pique.
Its father might be a Yao Emperor-level existence."
"Anything else?" the other party said coldly.
Ji Hao gave a dry laugh, "There's nothing else.
If that Yao Emperor seeks revenge, I, your junior, might... not be able to handle it."
"Weak." The other party's tone remained unchanged.
Ji Hao hesitated, "Then... Senior Brother, do you think we should tell Master about this?"
"No."
The other party said coldly, then after a moment added, "Take care of yourself; I will handle it."
Ji Hao's expression relaxed, "Thank you, Third Brother."
Third Brother said coldly, "Ninth-rank?"
Ji Hao said, "Yes, that's why I deduced that it wasn't a Dragon transformed from a flood dragon, but rather born as a Dragon."
Third Brother said coldly, "You've made quite a bit of progress."
Ji Hao smiled apologetically, "It was an accident; perhaps its strength wasn't fully displayed."
Third Brother said coldly, "Your matter."
Ji Hao quickly said, "Soon, I'm looking for it now."
Third Brother spoke again, "It's a turbulent time; be careful outside.
Something happened at Evil Cloud Pavilion's Blood Crystal Mine, you know about that, right?"
Ji Hao said, "I know.
There was a sudden Heavenly Tribulation at that time."
Third Brother did not continue to dwell on that issue, "Evil Dragon Pavilion also had problems reported, saying that something happened to the Pan family in Xueyang City.
Are you aware of that?"
Ji Hao said seriously, "I know nothing about it.
I haven't had any dealings with Evil Dragon Pavilion."
Third Brother sneered, "I heard you were investigating them?"
Ji Hao looked uneasy, "Pan Xiaotian of Tianyang Sect, I have a bit of a grudge with him, but thinking it's best not to stir up trouble, I had someone investigate."
"Pan Xiaotian?"
Third Brother was silent for a moment, "He's a talent.
Do not reveal his Evil Dragon Pavilion identity."
Ji Hao's smile was a bit awkward, because Zhou You knew about this matter.
"Third Brother, rest assured, I'm tight-lipped."
Third Brother said indifferently, "Return quickly once you've finished your business."
Ji Hao quickly said, "Yes."
The communication Jade Slip lost its glow.
Ji Hao's teeth gnashed, making clicking sounds.
"What's with the act? If you provoke me, I'll chop you down too."
Then, he strode back, looking proud, "Za Yu, I've taken the blame."
Zhou You cupped his hands, "Righteous."
Ji Hao snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
"You Za Yu are just weak; you have no background and no strength.
Look at me, strong and with a powerful background.
Even if you cultivate for thousands or tens of thousands of years, you won't get the same treatment as me."
Zhou You had already turned and left, preparing to have Old Dog pick up Zhou Chen and the other two.
Ji Hao's eyes were practically spitting fire.
"Can't he let people finish speaking?"
How ill-mannered!
Over there, Yao Si had also finally finished his work.
A powerful Yao Beast is valuable from head to toe.
Even their flesh and blood are truly delicious; eating their meat is comparable to consuming Medicinal Pills.
Most importantly, it tastes much better than Medicinal Pills.
With the arrival of Zhou Chen and the other two, everyone exchanged greetings, introduced themselves, and got to know each other briefly.
At the same time, they also moved the remaining Dragon carcass back to Hongshan Town.
Hongshan Town now looked like it had been swept by a flood.
But with the Dragon's flesh and bones, it was different; even just making a simple pot of soup would be enough to protect the common people from the plague after the flood.
As for post-disaster reconstruction, that wasn't Zhou You's concern.
After all, even if he cared, he wouldn't know where to start.
Such matters should be left to experienced individuals like Ou Ye.
And he, Zhou You, just needed to eat.
Of course, the flood-stricken areas also touched Zhou You's heart.
Sometimes, an inconspicuous mound of mud, when dug up, would reveal a corpse.
Such incidents were everywhere.
Some people weren't even discovered until they had decomposed, found in a pile of grass.
Facing natural and man-made disasters, the most unfortunate ones are always the common people.
That night.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, drinking Dragon bone soup, eating Dragon meat, and enjoying fine wine.
Zhou Xian was quick-witted and quickly figured out everyone's identities.
Old Dog was a thief, Ou Ye was a swindler who only swindled swindlers, plus Ji Hao of the Evil Forces, and the tomb raider Yao Si.
As for Xiao Jing, he was somewhat effeminate.
He felt that this group of people could do something even worse.
Zhou Xian's eyes flickered; he felt that among everyone present, only he, his sister, and Lu Renjia were the most normal.
And also the weakest!
Zhou Xian was saddened by this discovery.
Why are good people never as strong as bad people?
Old Dog subtly clinked glasses with Yao Si.
He was very interested in tomb raiders, as many powerful tomb raiders often possessed some extraordinary ancient artifacts.
With good luck, those ancient artifacts often contained unknown secrets.
Yao Si was very vigilant; just by glancing at Old Dog's fingers, he knew he was a habitual thief.
Usually, when he encountered a thief, he had three approaches.
The first approach: kill him.
The second approach: stay away from him.
The third approach: cripple his hands.
Yao Si wanted to choose the first one, because he had the strength to do so.
But Old Dog was very proactive and respectful towards Zhou You, so that option was out.
Zhou You took a sip of wine and looked curiously at Ou Ye, "Where's your Little Rabbit?"
