Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 76: Lake Dragon

Splash!

Lin Xiao was ready to block the attack with his bloody hand again. However, the mark on his forehead suddenly shone. All this time, Lin Xiao himself didn’t realize that he had a mark there, but at this very moment, something came out.

Bang!

The one thrown to the back was not him but the woman before him.

"Wha....?"

The woman’s eyes widened as she saw a snake... no, it’s not a snake, it’s a dragon. The dragon was not that big yet, only at the size of adult man. However, the faint blue green scales along with its menacing aura prevented the woman from speaking.

Terror permeated from the bottom of her heart. Even among the beasts in the entire world, it was known that dragon was the strongest one. And now, one appeared before her just like that?

"No way..."

Lin Xiao was equally stupefied. He had dreamed of meeting dragon in his fantasy from young. After all, children were fed with many tales regarding dragon that they saw dragons as deity that was very powerful.

And now...

One appeared before him.

How could he not be surprised?

The dragon was not facing him, but he could feel the dense aura. For some reason, the aura didn’t suppress him and didn’t make him falter. Instead, Lin Xiao felt that the aura felt comforting.

It was strange.

"Don’t block me!" The woman roared in anger. Yet the dragon acted as if it didn’t hear her in the slightest bit. It was only flying in front of Lin Xiao as if protecting the young boy behind him. Suddenly, the dragon opened its mouth.

Roar!

The angry roar reverberated in the forest. Followed suit, the sound of countless animals could be heard. The forest was now filled with the sound of rain and also beasts. At the same time, the earth shook as many of them gathered there.

The animals didn’t stop when they arrived and immediately attacked the woman. Their roars filled the air while the woman shrieked in fear.

"Stop! Why are you attacking me?"

Roar!"

"AAAAAAAAAA!"

Lin Xiao was dumfounded. He had just realized that even though the woman was already Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she was nothing in the face of dozens of beasts. They completely overwhelmed her with sheer number.

If they were alone, the beasts would never be the woman’s opponent. But since they were grouping together, they could defeat her.

"This..."

"Master."

"Master.. what? What?" Lin Xiao was stunned. He saw the dragon turned its body around and looked at Lin Xiao. It was only now Lin Xiao could see the dragon clearly. It had two long white horns and also long whisker that floated to form small wave. Its green eyes looked at Lin Xiao with obedience.

Lin Xiao was stunned.

He couldn’t believe that he saw a dragon up close.

And now.... he became the master of dragon?

"What did you say?"

"Master?" the dragon replied.

Lin Xiao’s lips twitched. For some reason, he had to push back his astonishment from seeing a talking dragon. This was the first time he knew that beasts could speak. Probably after they had reached certain cultivation rank, they would be able to speak?

He was not sure.

"Why do you call me...."

"You’re my Master, so of course I call you master. Master, please give me a name," the dragon asked coquettishly.

Lin Xiao: "..."

He truly couldn’t bring himself to accept seeing a majestic dragon acted like a little kid in front of him... The image he had about dragons was completely shattered. Nooo, return back his previous imagination about dragon boo hoo.

"Then.... Lin Hu? Since Lin is my surname while Hu meant lake," Lin Xiao asked with hesitation. He really couldn’t think of any other name. Not to mention, the dragon should be the one from the lake, right?

"Lin Hu, Lin Hu, I like it," the dragon, now named Lin Hu, replied happily. "Master, I’m still an infant, so I can’t stay outside for long. Also, Master can only take me out when you’re inside a lake."

"Inside a lake? But I’m not...." Lin Xiao’s eyes landed on the ground and noticed that his legs were already completely submerged into water. It seemed that the lake was flooding so now this area was already categorized as lake.

However...

The restriction of only summoning the dragon when he was near a lake sounded awful. Lin Xiao felt that he was having a powerful backing. But this backing was very picky and would only help him when he was near a lake.

"Master, you’re wounded. Please treat your wound as fast as possible."

"I know...." Can’t you do something about it?
