Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 954 - 625: Elo’s Diary

"How was the fight?"

Sain Dungeon, City Lord's room.

Gong Qiying placed the freshly recorded Elo's battle footage in front of Red Teeth.

He was confident in his ability to select Monsters, and the recent battle surely satisfied the visual effect, meeting Red Teeth's expectations.

While letting Red Teeth enjoy the spectacle, Gong Qiying also attempted an experiment by spreading Mad Dragon Virus and Life-Devouring Worm on the Dragon.

He had always wanted to see if an extreme individual or a phenomenon overcoming anomalies might occur in this world, or if a Dragon could exhibit both. Elo's strong physique was perfect for observation.

Unfortunately, the opponent mostly exhibited the effects of negative status during this time, but if extreme transformations and overcoming anomalies were easy to achieve, they wouldn't be so rare.

There's plenty of time ahead, so he opted for a safer approach: attracting Elo repeatedly to the Dungeon, allowing him to gradually adapt to the Mad Dragon Virus and Life-Devouring Worm with each battle.

He didn't intend for Elo to leave the Dungeon with these things, so he helped clear the negative statuses before Elo left. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

As for what benefit this brings to Gong Qiying...

On a larger scale, it could attract more members of the Dragon Clan into Sain Dungeon, boosting spiritual power revenue. On a smaller scale, it's just that.

He's simply curious, that's all.

"The fight was indeed good..."

Red Teeth watched the footage showing Elo's final embarrassing state, nodding repeatedly.

"But it felt like the fight wasn't intense enough, didn't completely make that old guy suffer."

He sighed, in short, not fully satisfied.

"This guy's strength has improved a lot compared to before. I didn't expect he could fight your Dragons like this."

"I didn't expect him to be so resilient either."

Gong Qiying waved his hand, suddenly understanding Red Teeth's thoughts. It seemed he shouldn't have dispatched the elegant monsters like Heavenly Returning Dragon or Silver Dragon.

He should have sent creatures like Peach-furred Beast King or Red Armor Beast, which could disgust with their stench, and maybe some ugly Monsters like Mud Fish Dragon to mentally distress Elo. If he had done so, Elo would surely be disgusted, and Red Teeth would be satisfied.

But the consequence would be Elo might be so disgusted that he would never return.

"No worries, next time he comes, I'll give him a hard time and send you the footage immediately."

Hearing Gong Qiying say this, Red Teeth felt comfortably refreshed, his expression returning to normal, and the conversation shifted.

"How many Dragons here haven't I seen? Got a list for me to take a look?"

Those three Dragons were truly striking, even though they weren't female Dragons, as Red Teeth thought, handsome Dragons were within his aesthetic scope.

Note that it's the aesthetic scope, not the carrot-pulling scope.

"There are too many, can't list them all," Gong Qiying replied modestly.

"Then find a chance to release some more, I want to see if any Dungeon with escaped Sealed Items is worth fighting."

Your plan is quite sound.

Although knowing Red Teeth's character as admirable and just, there was a moment Gong Qiying feared he might intentionally orchestrate a Sealed Item escape to witness more Dragons of Sain Dungeon.

However, listing all Dragons he can use would take too much time, especially since many have 'Dragon' in their name but aren't Dragons, such as Dragon God and Fire-breathing Dragon.

So Gong Qiying opted to change the topic.

"What happened between you two in the past?" He nudged Red Teeth's scales, "Tell me the backstory, otherwise it's no fun."

"It's nothing, just that back then I was young..."

Red Teeth's eyes revealed memories, recounting past events slowly.

————————————————

Outside Sain Dungeon, it was nearing nighttime.

Elo's return prompted a hubbub among the surrounding adventurers.

Primarily because the scene of a group of Dragons streaming out of the Dungeon was incredibly shocking; aside from the first Battle Festival, people hadn't seen the Dragon Clan perform such grand actions before.

Especially the leading giant Dragon that shimmered brilliantly, exuding majesty at first glance, one could tell it wasn't an ordinary being, no, not an ordinary Dragon.

Some knowledgeable individuals even directly pointed out Elo's identity, causing bursts of exclamations among those nearby.

"Could it really be the chieftain of the Two-legged Dragon Clan?"

"Such a figure personally entering the Dungeon, huh."

"Nonsense, people still eat by themselves and go to the bathroom."

"Could it be that he was also attracted by the news of Gui Ao'er?"

People thought it was very likely that Elo was drawn by Gui Ao'er's news. With this speculation, everyone wondered what kind of information the other party had obtained,

After all, a big figure like him wouldn't take action without gaining something, right?

The evidence was that all these dragons had revealed their true forms; it wouldn't have happened without a fierce battle!

At that moment, everyone speculated wildly, and some even suggested that Elo might also be after the Dragon Feast. Could the Dragon Clan participate in Dragon Feast too? That felt a bit too hellish and extreme.

Elo disregarded these gossiping adventurers, dismissed those juniors, and returned with Abel to the hall in the Dragon Nest where he usually stayed.

The space here was too spacious for humans but just right for a giant dragon.

After closing any paths from which the outside could see inside, Elo tore away the Illusion Magic covering him, revealing wounds still slowly healing in the open air.

"Grandfather, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Elo showed an expression of "Ah, my grandson has grown, caring about grandpa," and said kindly and warmly:

"Alright? Nonsense, your grandpa is in pain! If I had known, I would have sent you instead."

"Doesn't that make you look like a great grandpa?"

"Stop joking, go find some healing potion for me."

Abel ran off to find the healing potion.

Elo dragged himself onto the soft, oversized bed, recalling today's battle, feeling more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it.

"I've heard of figures like the Shattered Star General before, but I didn't expect even the dragons in that dungeon to be so formidable."

He summoned a thick notebook with Magic and recorded today's experiences in detail, as keeping a diary was his hobby.

A gust of wind blew, flipping the pages of the diary rapidly, instantly crossing ancient years, whisking back to Elo's childhood.

It recorded the stories his mother told him at bedtime about the legends of their lineage.

"Mom said that originally, it was very difficult for Two-legged Dragons and Four-legged Dragons to mate and bear children, but this situation changed with an ancestor of unclear generation."

"Mom said that ancestor once had a high status among the Dragon Clan, but later events led to his exile."

"Legend has it that his blood kin fell to cooperate with the Demon Clan. The moment his blood kin fell, the ancestor was also contaminated by the Demon Clan, his bloodline became impure, even ferocious, so he was exiled to the Mortal World to live and produce offspring."

"Perhaps because of the contamination from the Demon Clan, the ancestor broke the curse of difficulty in breeding between Two-legged and Four-legged Dragons. His descendants were never troubled by this issue, but he wasn't happy about it, still thinking about his fallen blood kin."

"In the ancestor's dying moments, he said that on the day his blood kin fell, his eyes saw a distant illusion."

"It was a giant dragon gnawing at a pitch-black giant tree piercing through heaven and earth."

"The ancestor said it was a prophecy that would definitely come true someday in the future. After saying this, he died."

Elo looked at this diary entry he had written as a child, and even now, he still remembered.

He remembered his feelings when he first heard his mother tell this story, back then his mind was filled with:

"Mom, is this something you should tell children as a bedtime story..."

Elo's mouth twitched, he practically sneered at it like a human would.

The story was not interesting at all and was so mysterious; no one liked it.

However, his mother loved telling such things.... Imagine how painful his childhood was.

It's because of his childhood experiences that he developed an obsession. Later, he personally took care of each descendant of his, carefully selecting bedtime stories, sometimes even making them up himself, ensuring they were absolutely interesting, easily facilitating preschool education!

That's why Abel is so close to him now; Elo is a parenting expert among Two-legged Dragons.

"Grandpa, I found the potion!"

"Apply it on me."

In the following days, although the outside world constantly speculated about Elo's actions, he neither made any appearances nor took any action; he was not very active in the public eye to begin with.

However, after recuperating for a few days, he couldn't stay idle and went back to the Sain Dungeon.

As a result, from then on, adventurers often loitering near the Teleportation Gate in the Sain Dungeon saw a golden figure frequently passing by. At first, everyone still pointed and whispered, but now they had completely adapted to Elo's presence.

Just another person attracted by Sain like them.

Nothing worth noticing.
