After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

The Perfect Collection (2)

Inside the car.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, and his sight fell on his hands. He did not like to make direct contact with anyone. It was precisely because of this that he preferred to wear gloves when he went out to avoid any physical contact. Generally, this was sufficient. But strangely enough, this time, even with a glove in between, he was still able to clearly and distinctly get a feel of the teenager’s shoulder. It was thin-boned, like a bird, delicate and light, as if it could be broken in a snap.

This made him feel …… very annoyed.

Mu Heng clenched his fist, then placed his palm on top of his knee. His eyes were deep, like an icy lake shrouded in shadow.

Troublesome.

Shi An stood in place and looked around. The few humans who were looking for trouble earlier were gone, and this place was inherently not lively, with only two or three students walking in the distance. At that moment, he felt his cuffs move, only to see the insect crawling out of his sleeve with difficulty.

Shi An: “You haven’t moved for a long time, eh.”

The insect stretched its feebly. “…… That’s for sure!”

It was said that this person named Mu Heng had a strong perception towards magical creatures. Let’s not talk about it yet, since Shi An had not regained his full strength, it would be suicidal to face Mu Heng at this time. In that case, the insect could only force itself into a state of false death一previously, it was unable to do this but that day when Shi An controlled the level changes of the magical power in its body, it somewhat figured out the trick to this.

The insect took a deep breath and finally regained some energy. “Do you know who that human was just now!”

Shi An thought over it seriously then guessed, “…… sparkling sparkle?”

“……” the insect was able to resist the urge to roll its eyes, but couldn’t resist to raise its voice. “That’s the strongest ability user in the entire human race!”

Shi An was startled. After pondering for a long time, he asked dejectedly, “So he shouldn’t be short of money?” Now it seemed like the possibility of buying it with money was unlikely.

Insect: “…………”

My heart is so damn tired.

It scrutinized Shi An and asked in a puzzled manner, “Lord Dragon, in the era you lived in, there should be many races with different colored hair and eyes, right?”

Shi An nodded, “Yes!” He counted on his fingers, “Elves have the best looking hair, they have both silver and blonde colored hair, and mermaids have light blue hair that shines brightly like sapphires ……”

The insect had a face filled with shock, “So, you snatched all of them back?”

Shi An shook his head. “Of course not.” He answered as a matter of fact, “Because there is no need, they are not worthy to be a part of my collection.” To a dragon, treasure and collection are two very different things. Treasures should of course be plentiful, but only the most beautiful and precious treasures are worthy of being called a dragon’s collection.

The insect froze.

It suddenly remembered that Mu Heng’s family also seemed to be a very ancient clan, and his ancestors seemed to be the dragon slaying clan. For no reason, a related rumor came to the insect’s mind. It was said that there is a vague perception …… or one might say, attraction between fantastical species and their arch-enemies. But the insect had never taken these rumors seriously. After all, the fantastical species had disappeared from the continent for more than 10,000 years, and these rumors about them that have been passed down to the present were basically speculations of later generations.

Take the Abyssal Dragon for example. After such a long time together, even though it was still very afraid of Shi An, it had already figured out a small part of the temperament of this legendary fantastical species. Of course, they were really super strong. But their love of sleep, beauty, food, and pampering …… luxury was not compromised. The insect put up a serious series of thinking.

一Wait, or maybe it’s just the problem of this particular dragon?

It sneakily took a peek at Shi An and started racking its brain for words, hoping to say something that would dissuade the dragon from his risky idea of getting close to Mu Heng. Meanwhile, Shi An pondered for a few seconds and said, “Since that human is not short on money, then the previous approach won’t work ……”

But the insect had yet to breathe a sigh of relief when Shi An frowned and continued: “To gouge out the eyes, or peel off the scalp一of course I have thought about it, but that requires a very fine technique. My own claws are too big, thus it’s certainly not doable. But the most important thing is that it will reduce the gloss, therefore becoming ugly.”

Insect: “???”

Huh?

Suddenly, Shi An brightened up and rapped his knuckles in his open palm.

“That’s right! I know a magical creature that can secrete resin. As long as I turn him into a huge piece of amber, I can preserve his hair and eyes in their most beautiful state, and I will have the most perfect collection!”

The insect was robbed of words: “……”

Please don’t say such ferocious words with such an innocent expression, thank you. It is everyone’s responsibility to care for the mental health of magical creatures.

Shi An seemed to have sensed the insect’s disposition and said thoughtfully, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything until I regain my strength.”

The insect said stiffly, “…… good, good.”

Well, at least its initial goal had been achieved.

一Persuading Shi An to stay away from Mu Heng.

Shi An continued, “Well, you said you felt the location of the abyssal rift before. Which direction was that?”

“Oh yeah!”

The insect also finally remembered the purpose of their outdoor trip. It lifted its upper body and took a sniff in the air, then pointed towards one of the directions and said with certainty.

“There!”

So, Shi An moved around the campus under the guidance of the insect. Eventually they moved towards an area with fewer and fewer people around, and the path also became more and more secluded. The grass grew from sparse to lush, almost blotting out towards the sky. There was only a miniscule amount of sunlight falling from overhead between the gaps.

The road came to an end. Up ahead was a wall, built of some unknown steel-gray metal, both high and far away with almost no visible edges. The insect continued sniffing and said with certainty, “That’s right! It’s behind this wall!” Shi An walked forward around the base of the wall. After more than ten minutes, he finally caught a glimpse of the gate from afar. However, he was stopped before he could walk up to it. There was a barrier that was automatically activated using magical power, and covered the air like a film.
