I, Who Have Been Reborn as a Poison Dragon, Am Being Persecuted by the World - Chapter 22

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After obtaining permission from Lei Luo, Shardin and Shardin left the scale behind and returned to the bottom of the sea.

On the way back, Shardin recalled what just happened. He frowned and suddenly asked, “Sharbao, did you change the map and hide some information?”

“What do you want to do? Go back on your word? Or do you have other ideas?”

Like selling me off and returning to the race to obtain the title of a hero?

The last sentence was buried in Shardin’s heart. He didn’t ask this question. Instead, he stared at Sharbao, waiting for an answer.

Sharbao froze. Then, he nodded and shook his head. “I did change the map, but it’s not what you think.”

“I have no intention of going back on my word. I just can’t be sure if that Poison Dragon will really let us go so that we can increase our chances of survival.”

“For example, if we encounter those Sand Gulls in the storm zone, I’ll tell the Poison Dragon how to avoid them and help him to do the work.”

“At the same time, I hinted to him that our existence is of value.”

“When we have no value to that Poison Dragon, life and death will depend on his mood. However, if we have value, our chances of survival will be greater.”

Upon hearing this answer, Shardin was at a loss for words. He whispered, “What should we do now?”

“I noticed your abnormality just now. That Poison Dragon definitely knows as well.”

Sharbao shook his head. “It’s precisely because he knows that I have to take the initiative to lead the way for him. I’ll tell him everything along the way. Based on that Poison Dragon’s intelligence, as long as we don’t threaten him, he’ll be able to accept anything else. Otherwise, we won’t have the chance to enter the sea again.”

“The Lord Priest was wrong. He shouldn’t have coveted the benefits of the Poison Dragon.”

Shardin didn’t respond. Then, they fell silent.

Did Lei Luo know what they were thinking?

Originally, he did not know, but Sharbao’s actions let him know that they were hiding something.

However, in the end, he chose to ignore it because the power was in his hands.

They were just two Level-3 merman warriors. It was impossible for them to resist him!

Even if they made use of the dangerous terrain, wouldn’t it be fine if Lei Luo walked behind them? No matter how dangerous it was, there was nothing that couldn’t be resolved after eating the Amethyst Cloud Fruit.

After the two mermen went into the sea, Raylo picked up the fish scale and began to study it.

The topographic map and the planner on the back were written in the universal language of the continent. It just so happened to be in Lei Luo’s inherited memories, so he understood it at a glance.

The plan written by the two of them was very simple. They would secretly travel to the sky above the island of the Merman Race and inject poison into the hole.

The elite warriors of the Merman Race lived below the island. The houses of the tribe leader and the priest were also nearby. If they were really poisoned, 80% of the resistance abilities of the Merman Race would be eliminated.

Then, Lei Luo could do whatever he wanted with the remaining people.

When the Merman Race had nothing to do, they would not go to the island because the environment on the shore was not suitable. Only when human merchants came would they go ashore to communicate with them.

The elite warriors and tribe leader, who lived below the island, were even less concerned about going onshore. After all, nothing had happened for hundreds of years.

The only thing that he needed to pay attention to was that there were warning spells around the island. He could avoid them by flying high in the sky.

“They seem to be very sincere, but I wonder where their hidden methods are?”

Lei Luo looked back and forth many times but did not find any problems. He finally looked at the map. Was there a problem with the route?

He had never been to most of the areas on the map. He typically headed to deeper areas of the sea as there were many high-leveled sea beasts that he could hunt there.

Although the Merman Race was located deep in the sea, they were closer to the human continent.

The further out one went, the lower the levels of sea creatures became, until they became ordinary fish. If Lei Luo had eaten those, he might still be at Level-1.

He couldn’t tell much from the map. Maybe he could discover something during the trip to the Merman Race. However, Lei Luo thought about it and gave up on the idea.

There was simply no need for him to make a trip to verify the dangers on the map.

When they set off, he would let one of the mermen travel in front and watch from behind. If there was any danger, he would kill the merman immediately. Then, he would return to the island and wait for the Merman Race to come knocking on his door. If there was no danger, he could ambush the Merman Race and test how much strength they had. How dare they clamor to slay a dragon?

Lei Luo narrowed his eyes and changed into a more comfortable position before lying down to rest.

He had to deal with the matters of the Merman Race, and receiving the inherited memories was also an important matter. Knowledge was power. After all, if he didn’t know about the effects of the Amethyst Cloud Fruit, wouldn’t he have missed an opportunity?

…

The night passed in the blink of an eye. When the sun rose, Lei Luo opened his eyes.

He wasn’t in a hurry to call for the mermen to set off. Instead, he went deep into the sea and poisoned two Level-4 sea beasts before returning for breakfast.

He had to replenish his energy as much as possible. After all, the sea beasts near the base of the Merman Race were all low-leveled creatures. How could they provide as much energy as Level-4 sea beasts?

By the time he had finished eating and the sun was about to rise above them, Lei Luo called Shardin and Sharbao ashore. He didn’t care about whether the merman staying on the island would run away. However, he had to do what had to be done.

Lei Luo pulled Sharbao aside and spat a mouthful of poisonous breath on Shardin.

“Alright, you have been poisoned by my poisonous breath. If I don’t deal with it within ten days, you can just wait for death. I hope that your companion will lead the way.”

“If we set off now, how many days will it take for us to reach the sea area of the Merman Race?”

Shardin’s expression changed immediately. However, he had told him about this before, so he did not react much.

Sharbao smiled apologetically. “Esteemed Poison Dragon, my speed is rather slow. We should be able to arrive in about four days. If I want to increase my speed, I’ll need you to bring me along.”

“No, you will travel in front of me. It’s fine if you slow down.” Lei Luo simply rejected this suggestion.

He wasn’t going to take the risk because of that little bit of time. The Merman Race wouldn’t be able to escape anyway.

When Sharbao heard this reply, the few ideas in his heart were immediately extinguished. He nodded obediently and agreed.

Lei Luo did not have much to prepare. He took the Amethyst Cloud Fruits and let Sharbao lead the way.

Before he left, he also sprayed a poisonous breath on Sharbao.

As Lei Luo and Sharbao left, Shardin also went into the sea to wait. The deserted island returned to its original appearance.

At the bottom of the sea, Sharbao was walking in front while Lei Luo was following behind. The distance between them was only about ten meters. Whatever Sharbao did in front of him, Lei Luo could see clearly. He could also ambush Sharbao at any time and kill him.

Sharbao didn’t dare to do anything when he thought of the Poison Dragon staring at him from behind.

The closer they got to the sea area of the Merman Race, the lower the level of the sea beasts around them became. This caused Lei Luo to have no choice but to spend time hunting for more prey to replenish his energy.

This slowed down their progress. Originally, they had expected to enter the sea area of the Merman Race in four days, but now they had to extend it by a day.

There were a lot of harsh environments along the way. Sharbao explained these environments and cleared them in advance.

Regarding this, Lei Luo did not object or encourage him. Instead, he watched Sharbao’s performance quietly. He did not believe that he could not travel around such environments. It was just to please Sharbao.

Time gradually passed. Finally, on the night of the fourth day, an excited expression appeared on Sharbao’s face.

“Esteemed Poison Dragon, the sea area ahead is the territory of the Merman Race. Shall we take advantage of the dark night to sneak over?”

Lei Luo stopped. “Stop. We will go over when the sun is at its highest tomorrow. In the meantime, tell me more about the strength of the Merman Race and their patrols. I will verify the information one by one.”

After all, the night was not his home ground. In the sea region, the Merman Race had the advantage.

Meanwhile, during the day, when the sun was at its highest, the mermen would hide. Even if they could endure the sun, the vigilance of the patrolling mermen would drop to the greatest design.

It was much better than sneaking around now..
